June 25, 2012/Grand Rapids Press
By Brian McVicar
GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Grand Rapids Community College has signed an agreement that aims to make it easier for students who transfer to Grand Valley State University to attend medical school at Michigan State University, according to GRCC.
The three schools this morning announced that Grand Valley State University is increasing the number of seats in its Early Assurance Program, or EAP, to MSU's College of Human Medicine from five to six seats.
The EAP program provides "an enhanced opportunity for admission" to students who meet several criteria, such as being a first generation college student, coming from a low-income household and demonstrating an interest in a high need medical specialty area.
The agreement helps GRCC students because it increases the chance that a student who transfers to GVSU would be accepted into the EAP, the college said.
GRCC says it is the first community college to be a part of an EAP program.

Latin America is a region of the Americas where Romance languages (i.e., those derived from Latin) particularly Spanish and Portuguese, and variably French are primarily spoken.
Latin Europe is a loose term for the region of Europe with an especially strong Latin (Graeco-Roman) cultural heritage inherited from the Roman Empire. The term has been used by some authors like Rogelio Pérez-Perdomo and Lawrence Friedman. Geographically anchored in Southern Europe, the countries using a Romance language (or one with a large Romance lexical input), that are also predominantly Roman Catholic, are considered culturally Latin by Pérez-Perdomo and Friedman.
Many such countries have status within the Latin Union. There is no clear definition on which countries or areas are included, but Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, southern Belgium and most of their culturally related European Microstates always or nearly always are.
Personally I am not all that interested in Tricks with long preparations to be executed.

The Tricks are Steps in time with the music. Patrick has a way to go yet, but at present, he is the most musical skater in present day competition. JMO

Citizens Prepare to Challenge the FTAA and WTO This Fall
For years fair trade groups have warned that the "free trade" model being pushed by multinational corporations is driving a race-to-the-bottom in environmental and labor standards. By giving companies new powers to locate anywhere while limiting elected governments' ability to pass public interest laws, systems such as the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the proposed Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) undermine protections for workers and the environment, the argument goes. Eager to increase profits no matter what the social and environmental costs, corporations will naturally flee to those countries where regulations are loosest, forcing other nations to lower their standards to compete. The "free trade" system sets up a brutal survival-of-the-fittest contest in which the countries with the weakest standards prove the strongest—while ordinary people and the planet suffer.
The plight of Mexico's maquiladora industry offers a bleak confirmation of these warnings. Mexico was once a "free trade" poster child, its lines of maquilas "proof" that low wages and loose regulations could attract investment. But cheap as Mexico's labor is, it is not as cheap as that in Asia or Eastern Europe. In the last two years, Mexico's maquiladora sector has lost at least 280,000 jobs with the closing of 400 plants. Many of the jobs have been transferred to China.
The ultimate affront: Statuettes of the beloved Virgin of Guadalupe now carry the "Made in China" label.
Groups such as Global Exchange have long criticized the assembly plants along the US-Mexico border as a dead-end model of development. The foreign-owned maquilas rarely transfer technology to Mexican industry, instead relying on workers to assemble already-manufactured parts. Wages hardly ever rise above subsistence levels, while union organizing drives are invariably crushed. For Mexico's maquila workers, the departure of the assembly plants adds injury to years of insult.
A typical Mexican worker in an assembly plant makes a fraction of the average U.S. wage—between $2 and $2.50 an hour. A similar worker in China earns no more than 80 cents per hour. For a multinational corporation with no allegiance to any community, the comparison is no contest: lower wages usually win out. No wonder that Philips Electronics, Microsoft, and Canon have moved factories from Mexico to East Asia.
The flood of jobs from Mexico shows that the sweatshop model of development is not only inequitable, but also unsustainable. If a better deal comes along, corporations will jump for it, leaving workers in the lurch. In a global economy driven by the whims of investors on Wall Street, short-term profits are always going to trump the long- term investment that leads to genuine prosperity. Under the "free trade" system, communities shouldn't expect to be regarded as anything more than disposable resources. The race-to-the bottom is real.
Such criticisms of the "free trade" agenda will be on display this September when the WTO holds a ministerial summit in Cancún, Mexico. WTO officials hope to advance a new round of "reforms" that will help corporations invest wherever they like while avoiding government regulations. But Mexican groups are determined to make Cancún the next Seattle, where trade talks were derailed in 1999 in the midst of citizen protests.
Campesino organizations are already mobilizing to bring to Cancun thousands of farmers who are outraged at how "free trade" policies have helped collapse crop prices.
U.S. organizations hope to make a similar splash in November, when the ministerial summit for the FTAA takes place in Miami. The FTAA's backers say the proposed deal will be a bigger version of NAFTA, extended to all the countries of the Western Hemisphere (except Cuba.) Fair trade groups say that is exactly the problem. NAFTA has given corporations new powers to attack government health and safety laws if they interfere in any way with a company's profits. Now corporate executives want to use the FTAA to speed up the privatization of key social services including health care and education. During the Miami conference, fair trade advocates will take to the streets to say, "No Way, FTAA!"
Hopefully the government officials at the trade conferences will heed the voices of the citizens instead of remaining in the pockets of their corporate funders. If they don't, the race-to-the-bottom will keep accelerating, and the damage will become more difficult to repair.
Challenge Corporate Globalization
From September 10 to 14, the WTO will hold a Ministerial Summit in Cancún, Mexico. Tens of thousands of people are expected to protest the organization's corporate-driven policies during the meeting. At the same time, communities around the world are calling for solidarity protests on September 13—a Global Day of Action Against Corporate Globalization and War. To get your community involved, write firstname.lastname@example.com.
GX is also organizing a Free Trade vs. Fair Trade Reality Tour in Mexico during the week leading up to the summit. To learn more about the tour, contact Xiomara at email@example.com or 415-575-5541.
Then, November 20-21, the FTAA will hold its own Ministerial Summit in Miami, Florida. To get involved with demonstrations coinciding with the Miami meetings, write to email@example.com.

Special legislation sought to sell waterfront land tracts
Crow Wing County is seeking special legislation to sell tax-forfeited land next to protected water.
There were three land tracts in question Tuesday, Feb. 12. The tracts are on the Mississippi River in Brainerd, on Pelican Lake in Breezy Point and on Adney Lake in Perry Lake Township.
Special legislation is required to sell tax-forfeited parcels with more than 150 feet of water frontage. Kirk Titus, land services supervisor, reported the three tracts were isolated and do not fit the county's long-term land management plan.
The Brainerd Rotary Club approached the county about purchasing the Mississippi River tract for future expansion of Rotary Park. The land covers 16.4 acres and Titus reported the Rotary club would pursue grants to fund the purchase.
The Breezy Point land was described as a non-conforming irregular shape on 1.9 acres that would be divided and sold to neighboring properties dealing with encroachment issues.
The 200-foot lot on Adney Lake covers 7.38 acres and is bordered by private land and would be offered for sale to the public.
Commissioner Rosemary Franzen wanted to know if the Mississippi River land was going to be offered to the general public or just sold to the Rotary club. Franzen said selling to the public may bring in a better price.
Titus said the land would go to the city to expand a city park and the sale would be based on estimated market value.
Franzen said that was what she was trying to get at, adding she wanted to make sure the county was getting the best price.
The board approved seeking special legislation.

There are a number of very useful helpers that come as default with the ASP.NET MVC framework, but one that always seems to get people confused is the Html.DropDownListFor() helper method. So in this post, I'll quickly go over the steps I use to populate the list, as well as some of the more funky features once it's up and running!
In our example, there will simply be a single drop down list on a form that shows a list of countries, from which you can select and submit.
First, we need to build a view model that is going to be the contract that determines the data that the view can display.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
public class IndexViewModel { // Stores the selected value from the drop down box. [Required] public int CountryID { get; set; } // Contains the list of countries. public SelectList Countries { get; set; } }
Once we've sorted that, we can create the action result methods for our index page.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
public class HomeController : Controller { [HttpGet] public ActionResult Index() { IndexViewModel viewModel = new IndexViewModel(); viewModel.Countries = new SelectList(GetCountries(), "ID", "Name"); return View(viewModel); } [HttpPost] public ActionResult Index(IndexViewModel viewModel) { viewModel.Countries = new SelectList(GetCountries(), "ID", "Name"); if (!ModelState.IsValid) return View(viewModel); //TODO: Do something with the selected country... CMSService.UpdateCurrentLocation(viewModel.CountryID); return View(viewModel); } }
You'll notice there are two instances where we populate the Countries property on the viewModel, one in the HttpGet method and the other in the HttpPost. We do this so that the list of countries is available throughout our process. You see, unlike the CountryID which is submitted as part of the Request object (it's part of the form collection), our list is never stored – it's lost as soon as the user navigates away from that page. So we need to repopulate it. In reality, you may only need to repopulate it when the validation fails an you have to redraw the screen in the HttpPost method, so that could be moved.
Then, it's just a simple case of adding this to my view:
@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.CountryID, Model.Countries)
Or you could forcably add a blank value to the top with some "please select me, pretty please"-type text. e.g.
@Html.DropDownListFor(x => x.CountryID, Model.Countries, "- please select -")
And there you have it! A working drop down box using MVC 3 and Razor views.
Now for some more fancy stuff. If you're interested in styling your menu, then you can't really go far wrong with jQuery UI SelectMenu (of which there are a few demos available, as well as a separate tutorial). To set up, you only need to do a few things:
- Download JQuery & JQueryUI and add to your solution. You can now do this step through NuGet, or manually by "Add Existing Item" and downloading from the respective site.
- Add a reference to the .js and .css files to the header of your html header, often set by the _Layout.cshtml file. Something like the following:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/themes/base/jquery.ui.all.css")" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="@Url.Content("></script>
- Download and add the SelectMenu .js and .css files in much the same way.
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="@Url.Content("~/Content/selectmenu.css")" /> <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/selectmenu.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
- Then all that lies to do is to set it off going:
<script type="text/javascript"> $('select').selectmenu(); </script>
The last bit we added there simply makes this apply for every single select box that is on the page. As an aside, when doing AJAX or JQuery where you may potentially add an additional drop down list, you will need to call
.selectmenu() to ensure that your new box appears like the others. It's also worth noting that you may find if your page isn't a fast loader, the standard drop down box (unstyled) will appear for a brief period.

Sugary Drinks & Kids
Do you buy soft drinks? Several recent studies have been in the news and seem to confirm what I have thought for a while - sugary soft drinks really have no place in a child's diet. I must admit I was a mom who purchased different soft drinks of every color of the rainbow. But about 15 years ago, I just stopped buying them altogether as I was convinced that not only did they all have enormous amounts of sugar, they were expensive, and if I bought them they somehow disappeared quickly from the refrigerator. They were like many other foods: can't just eat one.
Over time my kids stopped complaining that we didn't have any Cokes and my husband decided that he would drink sugar free drinks if he was going to have a soft drink at all. I would occasionally buy soft drinks for a party or something, but other than that our children resorted to drinking milk, water and Gatorade after sporting events. And guess what, they didn't run away from home, even after threatening that it was not fair.
I have routinely asked parents and children if they drink soft drinks. I am continually amazed at how many families have soft drinks as their beverage of choice for dinner. Calories, calories, calories, and all unnecessary, yet alone the cavities that might be forming.
New research now confirms that drinking sugary beverages interacts with genes that affect weight, and in certain individuals will cause even greater weight gain and eventually may pack on pounds leading to obesity. With 1/3 of U.S. children being overweight or obese, this research would confirm that children (and I would ditto this for adults) DO NOT NEED to drink sugary soft drinks at all.
Several other studies have shown that by giving overweight or obese children alternatives to sugary drinks, such as water of sugar free alternative beverages, you can reduce a child's weight gain. Those children who continued to drink sugar sweetened beverages during different studies gained anywhere from 2-4 lbs more per year than those who cut out the sugary drinks. If this is per year, then think of the cumulative effect.
Lastly, many tweens and teens not only drink sugar sweetened drinks but they super size them or get free refills. Just recently NYC made headlines when a law was passed restricting the sale of drinks larger than 16 ounces, all in hopes of helping combat obesity.
So parents take a stand and stop buying the drinks. If they are not in the house or available, most kids would not have access. Limit them for a special occasion. That is a good place to start.

Not according to the source I found on Nucleation. All it takes is one impurity. that crystal then "Build on each other". Notice also it says "Absence of impurities". Not absence of most impurities". Here is this on Supercooling with additional comments on the necessity of Pure water. And a bit on how that would be achieved.
"A liquid below its standard freezing point will crystallize in the presence of a seed crystal or nucleus around which a crystal structure can form creating a solid. However, lacking any such nuclei, the liquid phase can be maintained all the way down to the temperature at which crystal homogeneous nucleation occurs. Homogeneous nucleation can occur above the glass transition temperature, but if homogenous nucleation has not occurred above that temperature an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid will form.
Water normally freezes at 273.15 K (0 °C or 32 °F) however it can also be "supercooled" at standard pressure down to its crystal homogeneous nucleation at almost 224.8 K (−48.3 °C/−55 °F). [2][3] The process of supercooling requires that water be pure and free of nuclei such as having undergone reverse osmosis, however the cooling itself does not require any specialised technique. If water is cooled at a rate on the order of 106 K/s, the crystal nucleation can be avoided and water becomes a glass."
It is interesting how some individuals only want to see or hear that which agrees with them. Sort of like forming a theory and then gathering only the information that makes it look correct.

Before J.M. Coetzee opens Elizabeth Costello he talks about the problem of getting us from where we are, which is, as yet, he says, nowhere, to the far bank. He calls this a simple bridging problem, a problem of knocking together a bridge. People, he writes, solve such problems every day. They solve them, and having solved them push on[1].
[1] In Which the Author Speaks to the Bridging Problem
When Coetzee writes about his narrator's 'simple bridging problem' (Coetzee, Elizabeth Costello: Eight Lessons 1) he uses the pronoun 'we,' suggesting that author, narrator, characters, and reader will journey into and through the fiction together. His is a philosophical novel, a method of discovery, an experiment (Coetzee, Slow Man) and this requires all parties involved in the novel – author, narrator, characters, reader – to be active and attentive. The author himself must do much of the work alone; Coetzee does not explicitly state who is responsible for the building of the bridge – he uses the passive construction – the bridge is built – thus removing the bridge builder from centre stage and, instead, inviting the reader to join him and, together as 'we,' to cross it, arrive in the territory where 'we' want to be, the territory of Coetzee's novel, of the fiction, and once arrived, to put the bridge out of 'our' minds and not to worry about the gap between what is real and what is fiction.
Coetzee's bridging problem, when solved, bridges the gap between reality and fiction so that he and the reader can get to the other side, which is where they want to be, because that is where the essential story takes place. Kundera calls this ellipsis, omission, condensation. He talks about the method of omitting and condensing much of the work of realism. Kundera is responding to the work of Broch and Musil, but mainly Broch who developed the ('ill-defined', for Kundera) 'polyhistorical novel' which, by virtue of being a novel which 'brings together every device and every form of knowledge in order to shed light on existence' (Kundera, The Art of the Novel), is very close to the approach adopted by the author here. Kundera argues that in order to understand the 'complexity of human existence' one needs to master the art of ellipsis, which requires to 'always go directly to the heart of things' (Kundera, The Art of the Novel). The influence of Broch via Kundera and of course the practice of Coetzee has offered solutions to this author's creative form, which include the courage to strip away unessential elements of geography, architecture, and back story (unessential, because to include details about country and city and suburb and streets would be to change the subject, to tell a different story), to unite philosophy and narrative (Broch's 'novelistic counterpoint'), and to remain, in essaying within the narrative (Broch's 'novelistic essay') always hypothetical and playful; never didactic.

Just another reason why the Giants are lucky to have Marc Ross.

"I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones." - Bill Parcells
"Name the starting linebackers from 2007." - Jerry Reese
Idk if we screwed them, but definitely stuck it to them twice 09/10, nicks the pick before britt & jpp the pick before derrick morgan
Britt is exactly what he was supposed to be pre-draft.
An incredible talent who is also a complete idiot.
Keeping him in the NY area around all his friends would have resulted in even more problems than he has gotten into in tennessee.
I have heard some of the local sports radio guys down here mention how the Titans missed out on JPP, Nicks, Rolle(they took PacMan instead) for 1 reason or another. I believe the Titans passed on Moss and took Kevin Dyson that year in the draft as well.
Hindsight seems to always be 20/20 though, right?
Oh and the Titans probably regret now drafting Andre Woolfolk over Nnamdi Asomugha in the 1st rd in 2003. Heck even Charles Tillman was still on the board until the Bears drafted him in the 2nd rd.
I think the more incredible thing is how many good receivers came out of this draft. Nicks, Crabtree, Harvin, Maclin, and Britt are all legitimate #1 receivers. They all seem to have trouble staying on the field, ironically. Nicks always misses games, as does Crabtree. Harvin and Maclin both seem to have a lot of head injuries, while Britt either tears his ACL or just can't stay out of trouble.
I think any of these 5 would succeed with Eli, to be honest. It seems like Harvin, Maclin, and Nicks are the most humble, and I definitely would take these three over the other two. Harvin is probably the most athletic, Britt is prototypical, yet Nicks seems to outperform all of them. Strange.
I don't understand what people mean when they say one team "screwed over" another in the draft. It's a very fair process with the order pre-determined. If you want to move up, you have to pay for it.
If you think the Colts "screwed-over" 31 other teams by taking Luck first overall, then I would agree that we may have screwed-over the Titans.
If what you mean is that we took somebody that someone else would've taken with the very next pick. . .then yeah. I think most people had Nicks rated quite a bit higher than Britt.

does anyone have factory subwoofer kit that mounted under the drivers seat on the 2011 wrx???
This is a discussion on factory sub within the Electronics/Car Audio forums, part of the Interior Mods category; does anyone have factory subwoofer kit that mounted under the drivers seat on the 2011 wrx???...
does anyone have factory subwoofer kit that mounted under the drivers seat on the 2011 wrx???
whats the question? I put one in on an '09 it was easy
how does it sound? i want more bass in my car but i dont want something too big that take up the trunk space.
Factory sub is crap.. I've said it before and I'll say it again. I've owned three, and they all ended up in the trash.
You could spend half as much and get something that easily sounds twice as good (and still fits under the seat).
any recommendation???
If you're looking for something cheap that will fit under the seat this is a good option. Amazon.com: Boss Audio BASS600 8-Inch Low-Profile Amplified Subwoofer (Single): Car Electronics
It doesn't sound great, but it's WAY better than the OEM unit. I got mine for $90 shipped several years ago.. they're getting a little harder to find these days.
I've heard good things about Sound Ordnance B-8PT 120-watt compact powered subwoofer at Crutchfield.com
You can get it for $159 after promo codes.
The Big 2011/2012 Mod Thread
Ooh,hang on. That is the throb of a turbocharged flat four engine. A sound which,all over the world,heralds the imminent arrival of a moron - JC.
Yeah, I just bought my 11 WRX yesterday and the sub is terrible. Quite disappointing, I'm just glad they didn't charge me for it. I'm looking for a similar upgrade. Having come from the premium infiniti system in the genesis coupe and the bose in the altima coupe, this one hurts... :-/

"Never trust anything that bleeds for a week and lives ..."
The BOSS Audio sounded great in my 07 WRX. It sounded awful in my '11. It was very obvious that the vertical space between the floor and the bottom of the passenger seat got much shorter in my '11 vs the 07. The space was so limited, the subwoofer was fighting itself - it needed another inch of space for the air to disperse when the bass hit. Unless the Sound Ordinance moves less air, I would imagine it will have the same issue.
If I don't die by Thursday, I'll be roarin Friday night - Jimmy Buffett
Hey T2U, did you end up getting one of those? I'm looking at the Sound Ordance B-8PT or the Basslink II...
Also, does anyone have a DIY for installation?
2011 WRX Limited 5 Door -- Blue of course
No mods - YET
Stock head unit information -- pin-outs, aux inputs, and more - NASIOC
If you have aftermarket - its very easy as most HUs have sub outputs.
I don't have the link off hand, but mangostick posted a video on this site on how to get the factory HU out. Once I watched it, it took me 5 seconds to take off the plastic dash piece, and get to the 4 screws holding the radio in.

If you want to build applications that take full advantage of Windows Vista's new user interface capabilities, you need to learn Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). This new edition, fully updated for the official release of .NET 3.0, is designed to get you up to speed on this technology quickly. By page 2, you'll be writing a simple WPF application. By the end of Chapter 1, you'll have taken a complete tour of WPF and its major elements.
WPF is the new presentation framework for Windows Vista that also works with Windows XP. It's a cornucopia of new technologies, which includes a new graphics engine that supports 3-D graphics, animation, and more; an XML-based markup language, called XAML, for declaring the structure of your Windows UI; and a radical new model for controls.
This second edition includes new chapters on printing, XPS, 3-D, navigation, text and documents, along with a new appendix that covers Microsoft's new WPF/E platform for delivering richer UI through standard web browsers -- much like Adobe Flash. Content from the first edition has been significantly expanded and modified. Programming WPF includes:
WPF represents the best of the control-based Windows world and the content-based web world. Programming WPF helps you bring it all together.

The animal on the cover of Programming WPF, Second Edition, is a kudu. Not to be confused with kudzu (a purple-flowered vine indigenous to East Asia), the kudu, native to East Africa, comprises 2 of the 90 species of antelope: lesser kudu (Tragelaphus imberbis) and greater kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros). Both species have coats of a brownish hue, adorned with white stripes and spots, and a crest of long hair along the spine. Their coloring and markings help camouflage them from predators including big cats, wild dogs, eagles, hyenas, and pythons. If alarmed, kudus will stand very still, making them virtually impossible to spot. Kudu males are easily distinguished from their distaff counterparts by their twistedhorns, whose myriad traditional applications among African cultures include servingas musical instruments, honey receptacles, and ritual symbols of male potency.Males sometimes form small bachelor groups but more often remain solitary andwidely dispersed. Dominance is usually established quickly and peacefully by meansof a lateral display, in which one male kudu stands sideways in front of another,making himself look as large as possible. Males only join females during matingseason. Female kudus leave their newborns for four or five weeks after birth, but the calves eventually accompany their mothers, forming small groups of 6-10 females and offspring. Calves grow rapidly and are fairly independent by six months of age.

And on D, he's a great on-man defender, a spectacular help defender, one of the best rebounders, and he does it all while rarely fouling. So yeah, he won't be replaced anytime soon. And these things are so core to winning basketball that we might end up with fool's gold with our next high priced center. Somebody like Amare who puts up great offensive stats, but who doesn't do all the Ben Wallace things that everyone took for granted.

The Million Dollar July 4th Party
July 4th may not land on the weekend this year, but it doesn't mean that you have to put your party plans on hold. Here's what you need to throw the most epic party for you and your friends.
July 4th may not land on the weekend this year, but that doesn't mean you have to put your party plans on hold. We've provided you with the steps you need to take to throw the biggest and best July 4th party you and your friends will ever go to.
The Setting
Prove how patriotic you are by renting out the biggest cottage you can find to host your outlandish July 4th party. Indoor sauna and hot tub may be optional, but scoring a place by the water is a must if you want to set up a firework show at dusk. The best way to rent a pimped out cottage is a site like luxuryretreats.com that has places that go from anywhere between $3-17 thousand a night. May we suggest finding a place with a hot tub en suite for a late-night skinny dip with a couple of your girlfriends?
The Food
There are two ways to go about the food situation. One is to rely on a chef to prepare the meals, or you can man up and cook the food yourself. If we were in your position, we'd splurge on a Weber Summit Grill Center ($3899) and call in the professionals at Southside Market in Texas to send over a spread of their best racks, briskets, chickens and steaks to feed your hungry guests. For $160 you can get their Legend package, which includes enough food to feed about 30 adults, shipped over in dry ice for you to prepare on the grill.
The Drinks
If you can't find any cocktail Bunnies to serve you and your friends perfectly mixed drinks all night, you're going to have to come up with another plan. If you're up for splurging on a toy you can bring home after the party, picking up an Alpina Mobile Beer and Grill Bar would be in your best interest. Designed with a professional beer tap and with all of the bells and whistles you need for grilling up a juicy steak and enjoying an ice-cold beer, the fact that PMOY Jaclyn Swedberg didn't return your invite won't seem so awful after all.
The Entertainment
Everyone and their grandmother will be watching a firework show on July 4th, so you really need to outdo everyone else's show. It's not that you should omit fireworks from your party, but we're thinking you should do something extravagant, like hiring a couple of fire eaters or acrobats for a few hours as a precursor to the main firework event. You can hire a whole lot of different kinds of entertainers on gigsalad.com (just no clowns, okay?) and build the perfect firework show at fireworkssupermarket.com. If you're feeling lazy, Fireworks Supermarket has prepackaged deals like the "Fanfare," which has 551 shots for only 1000 bucks.
Party Favors
This one is a bit of a stretch, but we think if anyone could pull it off, it would be one of you. People like dressing up to show their pride in being American, so why not provide your female friends with patriotic American flag bikinis upon arrival? Going for about $30 each, these party favors will have your friends thanking you for your innovative idea that will not only be a hit at the party, but will also find its way to very popular Facebook photo albums.
The Music
Everyone wants to be the DJ at the party; why not make it so? Ask everyone to download the iTunes DJ remote app onto their phones (instructions here) which lets your partygoers request which song will play next from their iTunes. The place you rent will no doubt have its own tricked-out sound system for the interior, but to bring the music outside you'll need a Bose SoundLink Wireless Mobile Speaker ($300), which is said to be the best wireless speaker on the market.

Undoubtedly the largest residents of Wild Arctic, walruses tip the scales at 880 to 3,700 pounds! Their face is covered with 400 to 700 sensitive vibrissae (like whiskers) which they use to help them locate their preferred prey — clams, fishes, worms, snails, squids, and crabs. A walrus can eat 3,000 to 6,000 clams in a single feeding bout!
Walruses differ from other pinnipeds (seals, sea lions, and walruses) by having two long tusks. They use these tusks to establish social dominance, for defense, and to help pull themselves out of the water onto sea ice.
Walruses are among the most vocal of the pinnipeds. They produce growls, taps, knocks, grunts, barks, soft whistles, rasps, and clicks using their vocal cords. Male walruses produce bell-like sounds below water as part of their courtship of females.
Watch our walruses swim, feed, and interact with one another at Wild Arctic.
Q: Where do walruses live?
SW: Two subspecies of walrus live in the Arctic, geographically separated into Pacific and Atlantic populations.
Q: How old are they when their tusks start to grow?
SW: Tusks begin erupting during a calf's first summer or fall. Tusks grow for about 15 years, although they may continue to grow in males.
Q: How long can the tusks be?
SW: Tusks can grow to a length of 39 inches in males and nearly 32 inches in females.
Q: Are they endangered?
SW: Although not currently endangered or threatened, walruses' population status may change in the near future because of the threats they face from global climate change. They require seasonal sea ice as a place to rest when feeding, and as a safe place for mothers to rest and care for their calves. Without sea ice, walrus populations could plummet.

Felice Frankel
Again this year, I am sharing with American Scientist
readers a winning image from the Science and Engineering
Visualization Challenge, a contest sponsored by the National
Science Foundation and the journal Science for which I
was a judge. This year's award in the Informational Graphic
category went to a stunning and wonderfully informative
reference chart titled "FluorEssence." Chris Hardee is
vice president of marketing at Omega Optical, a manufacturer of
optical filters for fluorescence microscopy and instrumentation,
and headed the creative team.
F. F. Tell us first what we're looking at, Chris.
C. H. Fluorophores [chemical groups that absorb light
of one wavelength and emit a different one] are incredibly important
to biomedical researchers, as they are used to stain and visualize
parts of cells or tissues, which in turn provide a window to
structure and function. They are visualized by excitation with a
light source that produces a characteristic emission, or
fluorescence. There are hundreds of fluorophores, and they are
identified by their excitation and emission peak wavelengths from
the ultraviolet to the infrared portion of the spectrum. This poster
contains those identifying wavelengths for approximately 250 of the
most commonly used fluorophores. It is meant to serve as a reference
tool that is also aesthetically beautiful.
F. F. What sparked the idea for the poster, and who else was
involved with the concept?
C. H. I've been intrigued with photographic mosaics
ever since I first saw Robert Silvers's book Photomosaics a
number of years ago. While representations of the spectrum are used
frequently to communicate information in the science of optics and
the optics industry, for me they lack imagination. I thought it
would be great to create a mosaic of the visible spectrum using the
rich archive of imagery that we have accumulated over the years from
researchers who are using our filters in microscopy applications.
The marketing department at Omega Optical worked on the conceptual
design, which we handed off to our out-of-house graphic design firm,
Woodward Design. Fluorophores are not neatly divided into
universally accepted categories, so we created "color
families" based on the classification systems of a number of
researchers and companies that we found on the Internet. Our image
archive was "mined" for mosaic pieces, which were
hand-sorted by the graphic-art team into the same color families.
The designers came up with the beautiful realization of the
spectrum, which to me looks like the stroke of a paintbrush or a
character of calligraphy, an appropriate metaphor for the biological
images that fluorophores paint.
F. F. Did you consider making this an interactive reference chart?
C. H. That's not the first time that question has been
asked, and while we have discussed it as an option we have never
seriously considered turning it into an interactive because we
already have a very useful interactive tool on our Web site. This
tool, the Curv-o-matic, is a database that matches fluorophore
spectral data and the spectral curves of available filters.

News: Tagged as FF Nexus Serif
ÜberFontFont FF Nexus
For the first ÜberFontFonts of 2014 we take a look at FF Nexus.
The hottest superfamily of the moment (and the highest climbing in our popularity charts) is the creation of Martin Majoor, the designer of FontFont favourites FF Scala and FF Seria. When Martin designed FF Scala and FF Scala Sans between 1988 and 1994, the idea was to design a serif, humanistic typeface from which a sans serif version would be derived. Martin called it: 'two typefaces, one form principle.' This became the basis of his type design philosophy. However ten years later he expanded it to 'three typefaces, one form principle', a Serif, a Sans and a Slab – and so the FF Nexus type system was born, consisting of FF Nexus Serif, FF Nexus Sans, the slab-like FF Nexus Mix – plus the additional monospaced FF Nexus Typewriter.
'FF Nexus is, in my opinion, the best typeface I have created so far,' says Majoor. 'With FF Nexus Mix, I introduced a third family member in my type design philosophy, and I am happy that this slab version is not a stand-alone typeface; it feels best when accompanied by serif and sans.'
And as one of our top rated ÜberFontFonts, it is clear that FontFont users agree!

IE10 unlocks CSS OpenType features for Webfonts
With Mozilla's Firefox and Microsoft's upcoming Internet Explorer 10, a significant step has been taken toward widespread OpenType feature support, which allows for things like discretionary ligatures in text and contextual alternates in display. Now with standards solidifying, a level of typographic sophistication previously unachievable anywhere will soon be realized. Ushering in the new browser, we share this demo page with live examples of OpenType features at work. (Note that unless viewed in IE10 or a recent version of Firefox or some other new-ish Mozilla browser, the demos won't make much sense.)
We move ahead now to take a closer look into each of the examples, and discuss what's required before we can get started taking full advantage of this new ability.
Contextual Swashes | FF Nexus Serif Italic is the most comprehensive font of the FF Nexus Superfamily, containing beautiful sets of swash letters for the beginnings and ends of words. Thanks to the Contextual Swashes feature, the swash variants of the letters appear automatically in the appropriate positions (as opposed to the "regular" Swashes feature, in which you would have to decide yourself which letters should be swashed).
Stylistic Sets | FF Unit holds the library's record for Stylistic Sets: It has a whopping 14 sets to tailor the look of selected letters to your needs. (39 OT Features in total!)
Contextual Alternates | FF Mister K isn't available as a Web FontFont yet, and if you switch off the Contextual Alternates feature on the demo site you'll see why: It just makes no sense to use it without the connections and letter variants that give FF Mister K its special look.
Small Caps | FF Ernestine is one of the few FontFonts containing two sets of small caps: Small and Petite Caps (the only other Petite Cap FontFont being FF Atma Serif). While Small Caps are available as separate Web FontFonts now, Petite Caps only become accessible through browser OpenType feature support.
Discretionary Ligatures | FF Milo Serif is one of the FontFonts that go wild with extravagant ligatures.
Oldstyle Figures and Ligatures | FF DIN Round and FF Tartine Script can actually look like this on your website right now! Unlike the other features shown above, Oldstyle Figures and Ligatures are included (if available in the design) in all WOFF Web FontFonts today. There's one more feature we didn't even mention on the demo page: The Kerning feature is activated for the whole demo page. It is most noticeable in combinations like "We" and "y.", which just look more even with kerning. This feature is included in the current WOFF Web FontFonts and is applied automatically by some browsers.read more
Swashin' around with FF Nexus
When Martin Majoor designed FF Scala and FF Scala Sans between 1988 and 1994, the idea behind this was to design a serif, humanistic typeface from which a sans serif version would be derived. Martin called it: Two typefaces, one form principle. Ten years later, he expanded his idea of two typefaces, one form principle into four typefaces, one form principle, creating a new superfamily as a result. FF Nexus, today one of the most popular typefaces in the FontFont Library, borrows some of its structure from FF Scala, but adds the slab-like FF Nexus Mix and the monospaced FF Nexus Typewriter to the set.
And as if FF Nexus itself wasn't amazing enough, designer Martin Majoor made one of the styles stand out even more; FF Nexus Serif Italic comes with two additional swash alphabets:
Recently, while working on the Web FontFonts of FF Nexus, we decided to revisit the OpenType features of the OT versions as well. So our Type Department worked closely with Martin Majoor to achieve the optimum result from the revision.
"The happiest period in my type design life was when I worked on FF Nexus Serif Italic Swash. I found out that it is impossible to create one ideal series of swash capitals, so I decided to make two."
"Even though my first typeface, FF Scala, is still more popular, FF Nexus is, in my opinion, the best typeface I have created so far. With FF Nexus Mix, I introduced a third family member in my type design philosophy, and I am happy that this slab version is not a stand-alone typeface; it feels best when accompanied by serif and sans." says Martin Majoor.
FF Nexus Serif Italic: A combination of the OpenType features Discretionary Ligatures and Contextual Swashes.
It was a great challenge to translate Martin's ideas into a well-performing OpenType font, but no matter if you prefer activating features or choosing from the glyph palette, in the end you'll see that we achieved maximum flexibility. This screencast shows you how it works:permalink
New Release: FF57
BERLIN, GERMANY, October 2011 – FontShop International announced the latest additions to its award-winning FontFont® typeface library.
Redesign and new styles
FF Karbid: Revised & extended
FF Karbid Slab in use, Book design Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller 'The Murder of Crows' (Hatje Cantz, 2011)
Originally published in only three text weights and one display version in 1999, the original FF Karbid is an interpretation of vintage German storefront lettering from the early 1900s. Verena Gerlach collected and documented a lot of these alphabets in the Berlin quarters Prenzlauer Berg and Mitte. Although they have now almost completely disappeared due to the renovation works in the unified German capital, the spirit of those characteristic letters lives on in the concept of FF Karbid.
FF Karbid now offers a balanced range of five weights—from Light to Black—each with matching obliques. All versions of FF Karbid offer numerous alternate characters that alter their appearance and mood. These are based on the rather eccentric forms of Art Deco lettering—low- and high-waisted capitals; round versions of A, C, E; single-storey a & g, and many more. The fonts include numerous figure sets, arrows and bullets, and offer Latin Extended language support.
The new FF Karbid is a harmonized redesign of the original typeface. Rounder and less narrow letters lend the shapes more space and balance. Although the contrast was reduced to obtain a harmonious monolinear typeface (without losing its liveliness) it was increased in the bolder weights to improve legibility and achieve a certain elegance. FF Karbid Display is the most obvious spin-off of the original FF Karbid. More than merely having been assimilated, the letter forms were revised according to the new concept. The FF Karbid family has been augmented with two entirely new sub-families. The first one, the Text version, is intended for body copy in small sizes. The eccentric, serif-like swashes in select letters have been abandoned, while the friendly, lively forms of l, y, z and Z show the close relationship to the FF Karbid family. The other new sub-family is a Slab version. It has a sober, journalistic character, inspired by the typography in magazines of the 1920s (see Memphis, etc.). The strong serifs lend the typeface footing and an air of reliability. To improve legibility and balance the contrast was increased in comparison to the sans serif version.
Updated and extended FontFonts
FontFont continues its steady conversion of its library in Web & Office versions. This time FF Nexus and FF Signa Serif were released in both font formats.
Language extensions continue as well: FF Unit Pro speaks Cyrillic and Greek now.
FF Nexus Mix, FF Nexus Serif, FF Nexus Sans, FF Nexus Typewriter
Ten years after his iconic FF Scala, Martin Majoor expanded his idea of "two typefaces; one form principle" into "three typefaces; one form principle." The result: a new family of typefaces. FF Nexus borrows some of its structure from FF Scala, but adds the slab-like FF Nexus Mix and monospaced FF Nexus Typewriter to the set. The four coordinated families form a powerhouse type system, combining elegance with versatility. Web and office versions are now available.
FF Signa Serif
FF Signa is a typically Danish typeface by Ole Søndergaard, rooted in architectural lettering rather than book typography. Concise letterforms and a minimum of detail produce clear and harmonious word images. Designed for the Danish Design Center, it is used there for printed material and exhibitions as well as the internal signage system. There are Condensed, Extended and Correspondence versions, and in 2005 FF Signa Serif joined the family. Now the web and office versions are also available for FF Signa Serif.
FF Unit
FF Unit was designed by Erik Spiekermann and produced by Christian Schwartz. FF Unit is the grown-up, no-nonsense sister of Spiekermann's famous FF Meta. With FF Unit, puppy fat is off, some curves are gone and the shapes are tighter. While FF Meta has always been a little out-of-line and not exactly an over-engineered typeface, FF Unit is less outspoken and more disciplined. It is—like FF Meta—very suitable for use quite small and large, but FF Unit lacks some of the diagonal strokes and curves that give FF Meta its slight informality. However, FF Unit is not cold or uptight, just cool: no redundant ornamentation, just a lot of character. The tighter shapes make it suitable for big headlines set tight. Smaller sizes benefit from the increased contrast between vertical and horizontal strokes and open spacing. Thin and Light perform well set large, displaying the characters to their advantage. There is a great difference in weight between the Thin and Ultra, providing a good range of weights for contrasting combinations. Alternative characters (a, g, i, j, l, U, M) make for interesting headlines. The Small Caps are a bit larger than normal, making them suitable for abbreviations and acronyms. The many weights include old style, regular, and tabular figures. FF Unit Pro is now available with Cyrillic and Greek character sets. The entire FF Unit super family consists of FF Unit, FF Unit Slab, and FF Unit Rounded.permalink

Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Argentina elected pope
Pope Francis: 1st Holy Father from Latin America, 1st Jesuit elected pontiff
VATICAN CITY - Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has been elected P\sope by 115 members of the College of Cardinals. Bergoglio will take the name Pope Francis, the first time the name is being used by a pope.
"He is a man who identifies with the poor," said Father Mario Prietto SJ, from Our Lady of Sorrows in Santa Barbara. "He moved out of the cardinal's palace in Buenos Aires, took public transportation, he lived in an apartment, cooked his own meals. A very, very humble man, very much a man of the people."
Francis is also breaking ground as the first pope from Latin America and the first-ever Jesuit pope.
"The church is a universal church and we live in global world," said Father Richard McManus of Old Mission Santa Barbara. "It's an exciting day for the whole church and the world as well."
Tens of thousands of people watched and waited from outside the Vatican as white smoke rose from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. The bells of St. Peter's Basilica began to ring, signifying that a new pope had been elected to lead the 1.2 billion Catholics around the world.
Old Mission Santa Barbara's bells also rang -- first when white smoke was seen, and a second time when Pope Francis walked out on the balcony and was greeted by the masses.
The conclave to elect Pope Francis began Tuesday following the resignation of Benedict XVI, the first pontiff to resign in 600 years. A two-thirds majority (77 votes) was required to be elected pope.


text: Three years ago I bought a set of Matrix Projector headlights with the halo's and LED's, I didn't get a chance to install them until 6 months later when I checked them I found out they were DOA. The only thing that worked on them were the headlight bulbs, the LED's and Halo's were non-functional. I wasn't able to return them so I put them on the truck, well a few weeks later they filled up with water and fogged horribly so I took them off and threw them in my closet until here recently. Here is a picture of the headlights when I pulled them out of the closet, I love the looks of them but the functionality of them is more to be desired. I took the hair dryer and went around the housing to get the silicone to soften up, and then I worked a flat blade screw driver around the lense to get the headlight apart. After about 10 minutes it finally came apart with no damage done, you can see a couple of pry marks in the picture but I flattened these out with a pair of needle nose pliars easily. This is the back of the headlight housing after seperation, notice the grey silicone around the perimeter. A lot of people will leave that bead of silicone in and just reheat it and seal them back up, but I wanted to start from scratch so I pulled it all out. I used a philips screw driver and started a pice of silicone on the end, and then I just rolled it like you would spaghetti on a fork it worked almost 100% This is the inside of the front of the headlights, the red and black wires that are exposed are for the halo's. This is the chrome insert seperated from the clear headlight lense, it was held in place by 4 tiny screws which I used an eye glass screw driver to get them out. The halo's were also taken out in this picture, each halo was held in place by 2 small screws and the wiring was carefully pulled through the narrow slot at the bottom of the halo opening.

We had a couple of days in Norwich and found out just how attractive that area is. Wonderful cathedral and narrow streets with lots of history. Out in the countryside we went to the Broads and to a beach where, at low tide, the sea almost disappears from view - it goes out so far. We found it though.
Then on to Redcar in N Yorks. We walked on the beach, looked at the shops, went to the hot air balloon festival, celebrated Richard's birthday, visited Fountains Abbey (a World heritage site), went to Whitby, rode the N Yorks Moors restored railway and inspected Barry's allotment. Along the way we saw the villages where they filmed Heartbeat and the Vet programme
The scenery in these parts of England (and Suffolk where we were to start with), is just gorgeous. Everything seems on a small scale, esp after America, but that adds to the charm.
We then drove across the Dales to Kendal and are now in Heversham where R went to school. We stopped for coffee at a pub in the middle of the Dales. The landlord told us that of the 36 people in the village only 3 were customers. He then described the shortcomings of the other 33 individually. The loos were down the road and round the side, no lights - good thing it was mid morning. See photo.
We've taken a look at Windermere, very beautiful but a lot of other people were looking at it too.
Meanwhile we are in the middle of a heatwave - even here in the North it is over 30, and due to remain so most of the week. Of course no-one has air con (though some cars do) or even a fan. I don't expect much sympathy.
Now in Manchester, staying with Gill who was our first Freeloader visitor in NZ. Came down the M6, or tried to - a bus had rolled and was across all 3 lanes. We had to wait in the car for 2.5 hours in the hottest weather the UK has EVER had in July.
Now all showered and watered and Gill has broadband so all is rosy - esp me, it is still v hot.

'She was crying and in a state of shock'
BEND, Ore. - The first week of testimony wrapped up Friday in the trial of Thomas Bray, an ex-COCC anatomy teacher accused of raping two women in February of 2011.
The 38-year-old faces 11 felony and misdemeanor counts of sex abuse, and could get years in prison if convicted. At the request of the accusers, no cameras are allowed in the courtroom.
A Bend woman who says her friend called to tell her she had been raped testified Friday afternoon.
"She said that he held her down and forced her to have sex with him," the woman testified.
The woman told the judge her friend was very frantic, crying and in a state of shock.
The defense asked her when she got that call, and she could only tell them it was in the morning on February 26th, 2011. Bray's attorney says that proves hours had passed since the alleged assault, giving the accuser plenty of time to make up a story about being raped.
Later, Bray's lawyer, Stephen Houze, added the accuser had searched on the Internet to find out if Bray really was a doctor, contending the woman was after one thing: "She's got her eyes fixed on the dollars," referring to Bray's money.
A doctor at St. Charles Medical Center-Bend also testified Friday afternoon. She told Deschutes County Circuit Judge Stephen Tiktin (hearing the trial without a jury) that she remembered this particular accuser because of her injuries.
"What struck me was, most sexual assault victims don't exhibit signs of physical injury. You could see she (the alleged victim) had black eyes," the doctor testified.
The woman told the judge, "These are bruises you could see as soon as she walked in the room."
The trial picks back up Monday morning at 9 a.m.

By Albert Burford / American Press
KINDER — The home team was the most successful at the Allen Parish Jamboree on Friday night at John C. Buck Stadium, as Kinder won both of its games, beating Oakdale 13-2 and Oberlin 19-0.
Running back Jordan Vickers led the way for the Yellow Jackets, opening both of Kinders' second half drives with touchdown runs. Vickers busted through the middle and ran free 24 yards for a touchdown against Oakdale and hit the left sideline then cut back in to score a touchdown on a 52 yard run against Oberlin.
Oberlin was able to win the second game of the night, beating Oakdale 6-0.
In the first game of the night between Kinder and Oakdale, it quite obviously a preseason contest. At halftime, the Warriors had pulled ahead, 2-0 thanks to a snap that went over Kinder punter and wide receiver Khalil Leblanc's head and out the back of the Yellow Jackets' end zone for a safety.
In the first half, Kinder amassed negative 23 yards of offense to Oakdale's 11 yards of offense.
In the second game of the night, Oberlin's six minute and 28 second opening drive took up nearly all of the seven and a half minute first half, as the Tigers methodically marched down the field, eventually crossing the goal line on what would be a game-winning 26 yard touchdown run by Lance Frank.
Frank bounced off one defender before breaking free to put the Tigers up on Oakdale, 6-0.
In the second half, the teams traded possessions, but never threatened the others' end zone.
Oakdale was clearly in preseason mode, as it was plagued by penalty after penalty throughout its two games.
"It's hard to be positive right now," said Oakdale coach Randall Gordon. "We felt that we made a lot of mistakes. Kinder and Oberlin are good football teams, but we felt that we made a lot of mistakes that hindered us. There were a lot of little penalties that hindered us."
In the night's final contest, Kinder got on the board first by pounding line with Vickers numerous times to make it down the field and set up for a one yard touchdown run.
Kinder quarterback Austin Pickle connected with Leblanc with 13 seconds remaining in the first half to push the score to 13-0 and Vickers' 52-yard run sealed the deal for the Yellow Jackets to finish 2-0 on the evening.

I wanted to write about all the things I love about my husband, so I started to make a list. Some of the things I love are his voice, his accent, (in Spanish and English), his laugh. I decided to record him talking, but it didn't go exactly as planned. He was tired and being stubborn… and then he got downright silly.
And as if I haven't already shown how weird I am, this video confirms it. If you're wondering why I wanted him to say "lagartija" (lizard), it's because I love the way that word sounds in Spanish. I don't know what it is, but that word makes me a little weak in the knees, (native Spanish speakers are laughing at me right now. Está bien.) … I love the word so much that Espinoza Paz's "La Lagartija" is like a love song to me.
Other words I was trying to get my macho to say were my name and his name, because I like the way he says those, too.
To my native English speaker friends, which words do you love to hear in Spanish? … Native Spanish speaker friends, which words do you love to hear in English?

Seeing as this weekend was Memorial Day, I thought this would be a good week to turn our discussion to War Movies.
War is a frequent topic for Hollywood. So much so that the movies are their own genre. Whether it be military biopics such as this weekend's MTESS "Patton" or "MacArthur", attempts to recreate the battles and notable moments of wars such as "The Longest Day" or "Tora! Tora! Tora!", or straight up fiction set within a historical conflict such as "Apocalypse Now" or "Full Metal Jacket"… Hollywood has gone to the war well often.
It makes for epic storytelling. There's conflict and danger inherent in the setting. Heroes and villains. Just recreating a war lends itself to great filmmaking. Getting any measure of believability onscreen requires tremendous production values. The stories tend to be epic as well. Not that there havent been plenty of misfires, of course…
So what's YOUR favorite war movie? Which movies do you find yourself sitting through any time these holiday weekend war movie marathons pop up? Let us hear it!
Be forewarned, though, today the judges are feeling very strict. So no screwing around in court. Star Wars is NOT a WAR movie. Stay on point!
