Ostapé : "in the shade of oak leaves"...
Purple rocky mountains, undulating green hills scattered with white sheep, a "cayolar" (sheepfold) tiled-roof, a winding stream, a small stone bridge, a wall to play Basque pelota, a roman church made of pink sandstone, paths through the fields and an inn: Ostape…everpresent nature, absolute silence, comfort, refinement and genuineness. Ostape harmoniously mixes tradition and modernity : the spirit of a country house with the comfort and the facilities of a 5-star hotel.
Just like the traditional Basque farms, 5 holiday houses dispatched on an estate located in the heart of the green Basque country, including a 17th century entirely refurbished farm.
The manor house glows with its warm and pleasing welcome. Your reception reflects the generosity of the Basque country itself. A scented folklore awaits you, simmering by the glowing hearth. The spacious rooms are decorated with this powerful, unspoiled nature. If ever a place was worthy of a fabulous tale, we have most certainly found it.
You will be welcomed with the local generosity, smiles and fondness of food. Ostape promises to unveil its greatest secrets: a traditional Navarre's cooking.
If you wish to book us or have more information about the estate, please don't hesitate to contact us at 05.59.37.91.91 or through our online booking form.

Celebrating 20 years of service and innovative solutions was just one of MediaLab's milestones this year.
When it comes to growth, creativity and innovation, 2015 was a year of honors and recognition for MediaLab. Being ranked among Yahoo, Pandora and Yelp on Inc. 5000's yearly list showed just how far we have come. MediaLab was also ranked on the Deloitte 2015 Technology Fast 500 list showing our growth among the fastest growing North American companies in the technology and media, like Hootsuite, Twitter, Facebook, Pandora, and Salesforce.
Winning three Telly Awards for work we produced for our clients was thrilling. When we won three W³ Awards, it was like the cherry on top of the sundae. All of this recognition made our milestone 20th anniversary even sweeter.
Inc. 5000 Ranking: 2,798
For the first time, MediaLab was announced as part of the prestigious Inc. 5000 list. The announcement came on the heels of our expansion to our award-winning new headquarters in Tampa, Florida. Bruce VanWingerden, our CEO, feels that the Inc. 5000 ranking shows just how far MediaLab has come. "We're producing our most innovative work to date, and our growth has no ceiling," he said. "It's really gratifying to be honored for the industry strides we have made."
Averaging an astounding three-year growth of 490%, the companies on the 2015 Inc. 5000 list made this year the most competitive crop in the list's history. With aggregate revenue of $205 billion, the companies on this year's list have generated 647,000 jobs over the past three years.

Andre Tate played for Bob Huggins, worked for Mick Cronin and has a good rapport with Kansas State coach Frank Martin and Mississippi coach Andy Kennedy, both former Huggins assistants.
But Tate's not ready to call any of them for a job. Yet.
He will someday.
Tate's been working on building his coaching resume. Last weekend he added the most impressive line item to date, leading Cincinnati State to the championship game in the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II tournament. The Surge lost 71-60 in the final to Lincoln (Ill.) College on Saturday night but finished 27-9, setting a school record for most victories in a season.
"I knew we were going to be pretty good, especially toward the end of the year," Tate said.
This is his second stint with Cincinnati State. He was an assistant for Eric Thomas, then head coach for two years before leaving in 2006 to join Cronin's first staff at UC as video coordinator. After two years with the Bearcats, the Cincinnati State job opened again. Some officials at the school probed to see whether Tate was interesting in returning.
He was. In 2008, he was back in charge of the Surge.
"Those two years over there with Mick at UC helped my coaching a lot," Tate said. "Just strategic-wise - playing the chess game with the other team, seeing the things that they're running, how to take things away, how to create certain matchups for yourself, using the different personnel that you have.
"But I also wanted to be on the floor teaching and recruiting and stuff like that. I just thought I had more to give."
Tate's interest in coaching goes back to his playing days.
He came to UC from Kankakee (Ill.) Community College and started for the Bearcats in 1988-89 and 1989-90. Huggins became UC's coach in 1989 and moved Tate to point guard, where he averaged 17.1 points and 3.4 assists as a senior.
Huggins often told Tate that he'd be a good coach.
"I thought I would," Tate said. "I always prided myself in being a coach on the floor. When you're a good point guard, you think like the coach."
Tate played professionally in Puerto Rico, Finland and Turkey and completed the requirements for his UC degree in 1993.
In 2000, former UC assistant Larry Harrison, now on Huggins' staff at West Virginia, encouraged Tate to get into coaching.
And so the dues-paying started.
One year as JV/assistant coach at Lincoln Park High School in Chicago. One year as JV/assistant at Englewood High School. One year as head coach at Wendell Phillips High.
"It was exciting just coaching, being around the kids and being involved with basketball," Tate said. "That was the most satisfying thing to me when I first started, doing something that I really loved."
Then Tate left Chicago, moved to Cincinnati and was athletic director and a substitute teacher at Douglass Middle School in the Cincinnati Public Schools. At the same time, Cincinnati State was looking for an assistant coach. And in 2003-04, he joined the Surge staff.
A year later he became head coach. In his second season, he led Cincinnati State to a 26-9 record and a fifth-place finish in the national tournament.
In four years as a junior college head coach, Tate's teams are 87-48 (.644).
"I think I'm a good people person," he said. "I think people like playing for me. Kids play hard for me. I've been around. I'm from the inner city. I played JUCO basketball. I played Division I basketball. Kids just feed off of me.
"I want to be a Division I head coach. At the end of the day, that's where I want to be. My strength is working with kids and recruiting kids. I know what I bring to the table. I'm building up my resume."
And when he's ready, somebody's going to get a phone call.

I guess this is really starting to drum up some support, I guess if they are fixing this but not covering fully that they are acknowledging that they have a flaw in their transmissions, and this issue started while I was still within factory warranty, and there is documentation to prove it, I'm just wondering how I could get my dealer to actually try replacing this part, any one have luck with their dealer fixing this issue with the mechtronics unit, maybe send me a message or post on here what dealer, number city and state they are in, maybe Ill be able to get them to finally budge....

As a cop, this all points to one thing to me....people at the scene when the shooting starts need to be able to defend themselves, and if its at a school they need to be able to defend my son and children everywhere.
As for the Taser, a less lethal alternative is not the answer when faced with deadly force. Only deadly force should be used to face deadly force. As for the legalities of a Taser in school, each state can be different. In Texas, its legal but the employee would be subject to school/district policy and subject to termination, etc.

Kim Kardashian plans custom-clothed comeback
Kim Kardashian has a brand new wardrobe and diet program as part of her comeback plan.
The 32-year-old reality star has been in hiding since giving birth to her daughter North West in June. Sources say Kim's been working and spending hard behind closed doors in preparation for her post baby debut.
According to UK magazine Look, Kim's stuck with her usual styling team who take instruction from designer Nicola Formichetti.
"Kim's hips, bum and bra size are still larger than normal for her, so Nicola is dressing Kim head to toe in monotone colours, like she wore on Kris's show, and using detailed tailoring to show off her post baby assets," the source revealed. "The price tag for Nicola's designs , as well as two assistants, comes in at around £10,000 per week."
As well as costly clothing, Kim has been following a personalised eating plan. The brunette is keen to shed the weight she gained through pregnancy in super quick time, and before she steps out in public.
"She has hired Katie Holmes's post baby private chef to come to her house every morning, make fresh healthy breakfasts, prepare lunch then shop for dinner," the insider added.
"Kim has ordered the woman to prep five small meals a day, with emphasis on veg, clean proteins such as fish and tofu and diet-friendly snacks."
It has previously been revealed that Kim wants her comeback to be made in a glamorous fashion. Sources told Star magazine that she would try to disguise any problem areas rather than accentuate them.
"There aren't going to be any sweatpants, no matter how comfortable they are," the source revealed. "Expect to see flattering drapey tops with ruching and gathering. Nothing too clingy."

Last night I was joined in watching Revenge by a friend who'd never seen the show before. As I explained the show's various relationships and storylines, a couple things hit me: First, in its eight episodes, Revenge has set up a such an interconnected little web of relationships that any two characters entering a room at the same time implies intense drama, which is just good writing. Secondly, last night's "Treachery" was a classic soap opera—and that is not a complaint. Like a good bartender, last night's episode skipped all the filler (trimming out CGI and gadgets for once) and expertly stirred up the intrigue.
An amnesiac invalid who is poised to remember a terrible secret, a possible divorce made spicier by accusations of murder, a trashy mystery friend who's just come to town; these are classic soap elements, but Revenge's cello-heavy musical score and restrained direction keeps things just barely classy. Which is not to say we didn't get to luxuriate in melodrama last night. Madeleine Stowe's reaction to Frank's death included an endless full-face close-up and her reaching for a table to steady herself. Tyler concealed himself mere centimeters behind a door frame to eavesdrop when Daniel told his father he was ready to join the family business. And when Nolan revealed to "Amanda" (now Kara—let's just call her Kara for the sake of clarity) that he knew she'd killed Frank, he gave us this sumptuous glance:
That is one old-school, solid-gold accusatory stare. God I love this show.
Nolan's infinity edge pool was the perfect holding pen for Kara, who's hard body is accompanied by a brain soft enough to steal Frank's car and drive it to the Hamptons. Emily spent most of the episode cleaning up Kara's mess and stroking Kara's hair. Seriously, there was a lot of hair-stroking going on this episode; I don't often stroke my friend's locks but maybe I should.
If you tried to stroke Declan's hair you'd pull back a nub—that thick cap of mink he calls a hairstyle has more body and strength than, well, his body. He's totally making out with Charlotte now, and someone in this world cares, but not me.
Although Tilda was used sparingly this week, her scenes were among the best. She effortlessly converted Ashley into Emily's new enemy, and I'm in big favor of this—Ashley has more potential as a villain than some cockney Cinderella. And in one of the more dramatically shot scenes of the episode, we saw Tilda retrieve Lydia's Gala speech from the shredder and piece it together. This was a prop we had seen a couple episodes ago, so its use was logical AND resourceful, and in two wordless shots Revenge transferred everything Lydia knew about the Graysons to Tilda. Seriously awesome way to show us not tell us!!
Jack, at last, has someone appreciating his Johnny Depp-plus-thirty-pounds flavor. Also, way to work in that Emily used to talk about Jack to her former cellmate all the time. So it's official that Emily hearts Jack, but it doesn't matter because she's a borderline sociopath. Yeah, I said it! She's maintained an intimate relationship with Kara for several years because CCH Pounder told her it would come in handy?
I wish I had CCH Pounder guiding my life, but that's SOCIOPATHIC. It's hard to like Emily when the only authentic aspect of her personality is that she's being a straight-up bitch to Nolan. But I guess weird, wooden emotionless fem-bots who keep their alibis in the fridge (timestamped salmon! What a ticket out of jail) are right up Daniel's alley, because he's moving in with her (just ask Kara).
The most sympathetic person in all this angst is Victoria. She's taking care of her ex-best friend/invalid (who's mental status is purposefully being kept ambiguous), she's lost Frank and thrown Conrad out, she's been abandoned by both of her children, and she won't even let herself put on some sweatpants. Even while sadly eating a peach at midnight, she's dressed up in platform stilettos. Although I have to say, Madeleine Stowe wrings more pure emotion out of biting into a peach than any other actress could with a dozen Comedia dell'arte masks and a monologue from Medea. Also, it's hard to feel bad for someone with such an organized photo room.
In addition to "Treachery" being my favorite episode of Revenge so far, my first time viewer friend has now season-passed the series on his TiVo. Eight episodes in, that kind of power to engage new viewers and loyal fans really says it all.
… So you've definitely seen this hotness, right?
… Kara's pre-drink toast: Does anyone know what language that was in?
… Do you like Ashley better as a villainess, or does she need to chill out and be grateful she doesn't work at Walmart?
… Is Emily a little coo-coo banana curls, emotionally?
… Is "Treachery" your new favorite episode?
… Is Daniel going to start suspecting Emily of hijinks? (That one eye popped open at the end of the episode!)

Re: Evaluate code fragment without making new cell for it?

I forgot to add other cases where I was not able to split things
into different cell. This is when I use a Module[]. It has to
be in all in one cell on its own. Also a Block[]. Actually it
seems anything that starts with a [ and ends with a ] can not
be broken into different cells. Also can't break a list into
different cells. That all seems logical to me.
So if one has a large Module[], then to evaluate a code fragment
that sits in the body of the Module, one needs to copy it out
into its own cell to do that.
Not a big deal, I do that alot, but I thought it would
have been easier if I could just select that code by the mouse
and evaluate it as if it was on its own cell without having to
physically copy the code to a new cell.
Many replied to me to suggest the use of Ctrl+Shift+Enter which
is the same as EVALUATION-IN-PLACE option from the menu. This is
not the same as what I wanted.
From the replies I got so far, this seems like it was not a very
good feature to incorporate into Mathematica fronted. Therefore, I
would like to officially request the withdrawal of this feature

NOTICE: A greatly expanded and PROFUSELY ILLUSTRATED version of this material is being prepared as an ebook - watch this space for availability announcements.
It said that the famous photographer Disderi invented the carte-de-visite (CDV) in France in 1854, but the basic concept is so obvious, surely someone else thought to mount paper prints on stiff cardboard backing. It is the standardization of size, however, that makes Disderi's contribution so notable. It was the beginning of mass-production in the photographic realm, made possible by the 1851 invention of a practical glass plate negative. Glass plate negatives could be used to produce any number of copy prints, and were quickly employed in the mass production of images. Styles changed through the years, and various types of card mounted photographs prevailed -- but they are easy to distinguish, it all depends on the size.
As mentioned above, the carte-de-visite format was introduced in France by Disderi in 1854 -- but it took a while to catch on. Here in the USA, photographers were just getting used to adding ambrotypes to their offerings. Few made paper photographs, and of those more were scenic view photographers than portrait takers. It took time to adjust, and special materials were needed, and new processes had to be learned. We only see CDV photographs from 1858 or 1859 in the USA, and those are rare. By 1862 they become commonplace, and by 1865 they completely eclipse all cased images. Oh, tintypes are still made in huge numbers, but they are mounted on CDV sized cards, usually with oval holes, so the tintype can be held on back by pasting a slip of paper over them, sometimes imprinted with the photographer's name and address.
There was also another type of tintype-CDV hybrid that I've seen numerous example of, but only have one reliably dated. It uses the idea of the preservers from cased images, and encircles a gem-sized tintype (usually about one inch by 1.5 inches) with a brass frame. That frame has two tabs that extend backward, and pass through slits of the correct size in the CDV sized cardboard, and when folded back hold the tintype in place. I knew some of these date from the early 1860s from the thickness of the card mount used, and eventually found one dated 1862, but do not know if they were used in the late 1850s, or for how long they were produced.
Recognizing the CDV is simple, look for a photograph on very thin paper, usually an albumen print, but later occasionally seen in gelatin-silver or rarely even platinum. The main feature, as mentioned above, is the card size, which is typically 2.5 x 4 inches (63 x 100 mm) or slightly less, though you need to notice if it has been cut-down by the owner to make it easier to fit in a photo-album sleeve. The print is only slightly smaller than the card it is mounted on.
Personally, I think a TRUE CDV should also meet my Card Mount Criteria. All of the original card-mounted photographs like CDVs and Cabinet Cards were different from regular matted photographs. Almost all early paper photos that were intended for sale or display had to be pasted onto a cardboard backing, because the paper used for the print was very thin, and would otherwise curl. But CDVs and Cabinet cards had a different look to them -- they have prints that almost fill the whole card surface, with very little margins. Often the bottom margin (or sometimes the side, if the image is in landscape orientation), has a wider margin to allow a caption or photographers imprint, but the other margins are very thin.
Hence I developed my Card Mount Criteria to distinguish between true card mounts, and simple matted images. Here it is (drum-roll please!): To be a true card mount, the print should be 90% or more of the total card width or height.
This criteria does not apply to stereo-cards, though they often meet it anyhow. Stereoview images are easily distinguishable by having two nearly-identical images mounted side by side.
Typical CDV images that do not meet the criteria of having a print 90% or more of the width or height, are tintypes, which I would characterize as tintypes on CDV sized mounts; and some oval prints -- usually placed inside a printed frame, which I would characterize as matted prints on CDV sized mounts. I realize I may be swimming upstream on this minor distinction, but it becomes relevant with cabinet cards and post-1900 matted prints on cabinet card sized mounts.
The last true CDV in our dated images collection is from 1899. No doubt a few were produced in the first few years of the 1900s, but they are sufficiently uncommon that we have encountered no dated examples.
Cabinet cards are like CDVs but bigger. Easy huh? They typically measure 4.25 x 6.5 inches (108 x 164 mm). I have seen examples of the exact same image printed at both sizes, like today's photographers offer various size prints as a package deal. In general though, when it came to portraits (at least in the USA) most people bought CDV sized images in the 1860s and 1870s, then moved up to cabinet card size in the 1880s and 1890s. They still made CDVs in the 1880s and 1890s, but not in any great numbers.
The cabinet card is said to have been introduced in 1866, but it was used almost exclusively for landscape images in the 1860s -- CDVs were just too small for a nice view of the Rocky Mountains or Yosemite. I have seen a few portraits done in cabinet card size in the 1870s, especially the latter-half of the 1870s, but they were not anywhere near as popular as CDVs. By the 1880s they rapidly eclipsed CDVs and became the most popular format for portraits.
After 1900 there were still many card mounted images of the size of cabinet cards, but the vast majority of them do not meet my criteria of having an image 90% or more of the width or height of the card. Most of these post-1900 images are matted photographs in my terminology. The last true cabinet card in our dated image collection was dated 1909 -- but there are only a handful of cabinet cards among hundreds of images from the first decade of the 1900s.
There were a few different card types introduced in the 1870s and 1880s, but it was the 1890s when photographers went crazy with new names for card photographs. Many of them do not meet my criteria for a true card mount type, but are standardized sizes for matted images.
Here we are going to list the names we have seen in size order by smaller dimension (width for portrait oriented images, height for landscape oriented images). Not all sources agree as to the sizes for particular names, and sometimes different names are applied to the same sizes. I have added a -# after duplicate names to distinguish variants. I have not made a particular study of these, so consider this listing very provisional:

Toyota's projected op earnings bigger than GM's market capIan Rowley
Wednesdays's contrasting results announcements once again highlighted the huge earnings gulf between Toyota and GM. For the six months through September, Toyota's operating earnings rose 16.3% to $11.2 billion, while GM posted a huge $39 billion loss.
But perhaps even more disturbing is that after stock falls at GM, and an upward revison to Toyota's earnings, the Japanese company's expected operating profits for this year are now greater than GM.
At yesterday's results announcement in Tokyo, finance chief Takeshi Suzuki said that Toyota now expects to make operating profits of $20.2 billion this financial year, $440 million higher than earlier stated and a figure still considered conservative by analysts. By the end of Wednesday trading, which saw GM's stock price plunge 6% to $33.95, the market valued the world's biggest automaker at just $19.21 billion.

Exclusive: Carlyle risks lower profit on TCW deal
By Jessica Toonkel and Greg Roumeliotis
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Carlyle Group LP's (CG.O: Quote) planned $780 million takeover of TCW Group Inc could prove less lucrative than envisioned due to the investment manager's financial ties to buyout firm EIG Global Energy Partners LLC, a TCW document to its lenders shows.
At least a sixth of TCW's profit stems from payments made by former unit EIG, which spun out of TCW in 2011, according to data in the document which was seen by Reuters.
TCW is a unit of French bank Societe Generale (SOGN.PA: Quote).
EIG is separately seeking to block Carlyle's acquisition of TCW in court. EIG's fund that makes these payments has been put into a special trust by a judge pending an arbitration hearing. This hearing is expected on January 30, according to a person familiar with the situation.
While it was known that EIG contributed profit to TCW, a highly rated Los Angeles, California-based fixed income fund manager with $135 billion assets under management, the extent of these payments had not been previously made public.
This revelation and the outcome of EIG's arbitration could upset the math that Carlyle, which is one of the world's most powerful private equity firms, carried out in agreeing to buy TCW in August.
The stakes are high for TCW too. The deal with Carlyle was expected to end uncertainty about its future as it strives to become a more formidable competitor against some of the largest bond managers.
"We are fully committed to seeing the transaction through to completion," a Carlyle spokesman said, declining to comment on the document, the financing arrangements, Carlyle's profitability on the deal, or provide any other detail. Continued...

Annually the athletic department recognizes all 4th or 5th year seniors who have been a part of the sport program for four years. The purpose of this award is to recognize our student-athletes who have dedicated and committed four years to a particular sport. Criteria to receive this award includes having a minimum grade-point average of 2.0; performing for four years with distinction in a varsity sport; and acting both on and off the field in a manner that has brought credit to the student-athlete, the institution, and intercollegiate athletics.
Each "Stewart Arthurs Award" winner will receive their framed jersey including an action photo after their sport season. Further recognition will be sent to their local newspaper.
This is a special award given by the Athletics Director. Coaches will continue to honor all seniors during the last home contest by each sports traditional ceremony.
The award is named after Stewart Arthurs, a native of Bristow. Stewart attended Northwestern from 1958-62 earning 12 varsity letters in football, basketball, and track. He was awarded all-conference honors for three years in both football and basketball.
Aruthers established a school record for career rushing yards (2,495) which stood for 40 years. He also set records for touchdowns in a season (15) and touchdowns in a career (41). Arthurs led the basketball team in scoring in 1960-61 and 1961-62. In 1961 he set a conference track record as the low-hurdles champion.
Arthurs served as a member of the Board of Governors of the Oklahoma Bar Association, trustee of the Oklahoma Bar Association, Colonel in the Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps, is a member of the Northwestern Foundation Board of Directors, and a leader in many civic groups.

I am a current 2000 Ford Focus owner. But moving into a small town and the Wisconsin winter this year, I am looking at a Subaru Impreza. Really want the WRX , but I am used to 30 mpg. My commute is about 80% highway. If it would get the 24MPG the EPA says, the additional fun will make up the rest. Otherwise the 2.5i will have to do.
I would be looking at a 08 WRX automatic. Yeah I know the manuals are better, but if you would see my foot and hand corrdination, you would say automatic.
Any feedback from the 2008 owners on the MPG and any feedback from the automatic owners would be great. And Autos are hard to get. One left in this state.

Chelsea were today dealt another blow in their pursuit of Edinson Cavani after his father said the striker intends to join Real Madrid.
Just a day after Cavani's mother revealed the Napoli player was in talks with Real and Manchester City amid rumours both clubs are ready to trigger a £54million release clause, his father, Luis, claims he is desperate to secure a move to Spain.
"Cavani's intention is to play for Madrid," he told Futboleros. "He is excited about it and is very willing to see it through.
"He has told the family in private he wants to join Real Madrid but, if he declares it publicly, it will annoy Napoli."
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is yet to decide on the future of Fernando Torres but Cavani's arrival at the club would spell the end for the Spaniard.
Real Madrid may be in pole position to sign Cavani but no club as yet have met Napoli's valuation, offering Chelsea hope they could still lure the 26-year-old Uruguay international to England. "There has been contact with Real Madrid's lawyers and now we are waiting for the two clubs to meet," added Luis Cavani.
"I hope it happens and that talks take place as soon as possible. Who wouldn't want to play for Real Madrid?"
"It is not just up to Edi. They are talking about 65 million euros and Napoli won't negotiate for any less."
Meanwhile, Roman Abramovich's key adviser Marina Granovskaia is set to join Chelsea's executive board this summer.
Russian-born Granovskaia has been with the Blues since 2010 and previously worked under Abramovich when he owned the oil company Sibneft.
Granovskaia will now be regarded as one of the most powerful female directors in football, with the club hopeful the move will simplify decision making at Stamford Bridge.

Science is always happening in Brevard; visit our events calendar to see how you can participate.
The Exemplary Science Teacher Awards program was started in 1999 by the SCSEA and the Brevard Science Advisory Council to recognize outstanding science teachers in Brevard County. Annually, the SCSEA holds an awards dinner to honor the efforts of eight science teachers from Brevard County who demonstrate best practices in the area of science instruction. It is our way of saying thank you for a job well done. As a community, we send a strong message when we identify and reward those great teachers that educate our children.
The SCSEA Speaker Series provides students and the general public with information on timely science-related topics by engaged scientists. The Speaker Series presentation take place approximately four times a year in the early evenings, at various hosting sites around the county. Please see the flyers below for more details.
The SCSEA Science Bowl for Middle School Students (grades 6 - 8) is a fast-paced question and answer format competition, similar to Jeopardy, during which students answer questions about earth science, physical science, life science, math, energy, and general science. Our Science Bowl for Middle School Students page lists the competition rules and the steps required to register a team.
This year's event will be held March 4, 2017 at the Florida Solar Energy Center.
Each year, the SCSEA presents the Aspiring Scientist Award to two elementary students whose science fair projects, although not first place winners, showed unusual creativity and scientific thinking. These students are recognized to inspire their continued interest in science.
Research Rules! is a science fair conference for students in grades 5 - 8, their parents, and teachers. Learn how to design a winning project with lots of science fair tips from the experts! The conference is held yearly in September. The date and place of the 2017 event will be published at a later date. Registration information can be found here.

RIP and thanks for all of the great music over the years.
I know there's more than a few people around here who grew up listening to these guys. What's your most memorable Beastie Boys moment? For me it's high school, spinning albums (Ill Communication and Intergalactic) after school. Those were the days! Wish I could've seen them in concert but I never got the chance.
This is kinda interesting and posted for VW content:
In 1986, US rappers The Beastie Boys started to appear on stage with Volkswagen badges around their necks. This unlikely fashion statement sparked a mini crime-wave. Fans throughout the world descended on parked Golfs and Polos and pried off the coveted VW badges with screwdrivers. Then they strung them and wore them as pendants, thus aping their heroes and demonstrating their fearless street nous.
The manufacturers responded by ordering up enough replacement badges to fill a room four-feet wide by eight-feet deep.
Although the craze eventually died down, a spate of VW badge theft was reported in Yorkshire as late as 2000.

Facebook Launches Standalone Camera App for iOS
Photo of the author, Jennifer Beese by Jennifer Beese on May 24, 2012
The timing of the launch seems a little confusing as the company's acquisition of Instagram moves forward. When asked if Facebook Camera would become a direct competitor, a spokesperson told TechCrunch, "As Mark asserted, we're committed to building and growing Instagram independently, so I anticipate some healthy competition."
Currently the app is only available for iOS in English-speaking countries and can be downloaded today. It will roll out internationally over the next few weeks.
As for Android, BlackBerry, and Windows Phone support, the company said, "While we don't comment on future products we are carefully looking at what might make for a good Facebook photos experience across other platforms."

Our Common Prayerbook 33 – 1
The world is God's, and that's the standpoint of the entire Bible. For a host of reasons, then, we are summoned to give praise to God, and Psalm 33 — one of the prayers in our common prayerbook — is a great example of how our theological apprehension that the world is God's can change [Read More…]
What About Intelligent Design? (RJS)
I began a series last week looking at issues in theology and the impact that the evidence for evolution has on our theology. This series is based on a book of essays, Theology After Darwin (available from amazon UK or, as pointed out by a commenter on the last post, a search of Abebooks.com on author = Berry and title = Theology After Darwin will yield a USA-based source for a new copy of the book at a reasonable price.) The second chapter, written by Denis Alexander, carries the provocative title After Darwin: Is Intelligent Design Intelligent? For those wrestling with the ideas, or who want to understand why scientists and scholars are often skeptical of the intelligent design movement, this is a good even-handed source. It is short, clear, and to the point.
Denis Alexander is a molecular biologist with a Ph.D. in Neurochemistry. He is the Director of the Faraday Institute for Science and Religion at St. Edmund's College, Cambridge. Since 1992 he has been Editor of the journal Science & Christian Belief and currently serves on the National Committee of Christians in Science and as a member of the International Society for Science and Religion. He has published many scientific articles in the primary literature, something over 50, and has a good overall citation rate (i.e. other professionals read and interact with his professional scientific work). He has also published a book, Creation or Evolution: Do We Have to Choose?, referred to quite often in this short essay that presents his belief in the coherence of evolutionary theory with a biblical doctrine of creation. I have not read his book yet – but intend to get a copy and put it on my (ever growing) list.
Key to Alexander's view is a robust understanding of the work of God in creation. Calvin, he notes, had such a view.
God's activity in nature, Calvin taught, was continuous and complete. There were no 'gaps' which could be attributed to forces or agents outside of God's immediate control. Nature was not autonomous. The Word or command of God was the only edict required to bring direction or purpose into inanimate matter. (p. 23)
The discussions of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth century departed from such a robust view, looking for evidence of God in design, in areas where natural mechanisms were demonstrably insufficient. In the face of naturalism and secular materialism concrete evidence for God appeared essential.
What do you understand or mean by the term Intelligent Design?
Do you think Intelligent Design is a useful pursuit or field of inquiry? [Read more…]
Almost Christian 6
Youth ministry focuses on the basics, and one of the basics of the entire Christian message and community is missional.
Kenda Dean's new book, Almost Christian: What the Faith of Our Teenagers is Telling the American Church, examines that theme in chp 5, and her chp is as good a summary of the meaning of "missional" as you are likely to find.
Her concern is Moralistic Therapeutic Deism, and MTD is inherently individualistic, self-expressive, and selfish. The Story of God in the Bible is entirely other: it is a Story of other-orientation. God sent his Son to be with us and God calls his people to extend that sending-love and dwelling-with-love to others.
She calls parents, churches and youth groups to develop a missional imagination. She calls us to "waste" our life for others — she's playing with the word "waste," where she ties Mark 14:4 (the woman's waste of ointment on Jesus) and Jesus's use of the same word for his disciples to "lose" [waste] their life for him and the gospel (8:35). In this one finds the essence of a missional imagination. [Read more…]

Apple confirmed the release date of iOS 6 at the launch of the iPhone 5. It'll be available for download on 19 September, a week from now.
iOS 6 brings plenty of new features, but they're largely enriching, rather than revolutionary ones. Facebook and Twitter integration has been massively improved, Siri has gotten smarter, and the Maps app has been given a complete overhaul. It's absolutely worth tracking down on 19 September, but it won't alienate any current iOS users. This is Apple, after all.
Apple has also confirmed the devices that will get the leap up to iOS 6 and - thankfully - nothing too new has been left out in the cold. On the iPhone front, the 3GS, 4 and 4S will all be treated to a new coat of software paint. In iPod touch land, 4th generation devices will get the boost. And both the iPad 2 and current iPad can look forward to iOS 6 next week. That's a good result, as the iPhone 3GS has just been booted of the Apple Store, but not out of Apple support altogether.
iOS 6 will be available as a download from iTunes or - presumably - a download direct from devices the latest current version of iOS. We recommend waiting for a few hours before trying to download as the servers will be swamped.
For all the latest news, price and release date info regarding the iPhone 5 go to our news round-up.

Washed my black diamond tri-coat coupe this morning. Driving on the highway today. I settle into the middle lane and hit the cruise. A Ford Explorer slowly passes me on my left and as I glance over, the passenger smiles and gives me a big thumps up.
Later on I was getting gas. A guy who was in the station, gets in his car, backs out and as he pulls away he slows down, rolls down his window and says, "she is beautiful! Does she wanna make you drive fast?"
I can't remember getting this much attention with any previous car I've had.

When clients experience a loss, there is a number of strategies that can be used to assist in overcoming the grief that has developed. Clients first benefit from identifying the thoughts or thought patterns that are leading to the constant feeling of grief or depression. We then work towards altering these patterns in a way that brings light to the situation, no matter how dark it seems. Once a client learns one of these strategies, they are then capable of applying this to other areas of life and even problems they may encounter in the future.

It is almost impossible for any of us to go through life without experiencing one or a series of losses. It could be a death, the end of a romantic relationship, loss of a job, being turned down by a university, or any other form of loss. Any type of loss can produce understandable feelings of sadness, shock, anger, difficulty sleeping, and confusion. When we experience loss, we go through various stages of grieving. I am specifically trained and have considerable experience helping people navigate through their experiences of loss and the grieving. Having experienced several losses in my own life, I have a good idea about what works and what doesn't.

Calando Pharmaceuticals of Pasadena, CA, received a China patent for broad coverage of all methods of using any RNA interference construct formulated in a supramolecular complex. Supramolecular complex formulations are those formed with any type of polymer. The patent also covers any pharmaceutical compositions of matter containing RNAi constructs adapted for pulmonary or nasal delivery to the lungs.
Calando Pharma is a majority owned subsidiary of Arrowhead Research Corp. (NSDQ: ARWR).
The China patent covers a basis for delivery of RNAi-based drugs, though in the case of respiratory-delivered pharmaceuticals, the patent is not limited to any specific mode of siRNA delivery.
In the US, the FDA has given Calando the go-ahead to begin Phase I trials of CALAA-01, making it the first clinical study using targeted, systemic delivery of siRNA and the first siRNA trial in oncology.
Calando's RONDEL technology involves the use of cyclodextrin-containing polymers that form the foundation for its two-part siRNA delivery system. The first component is a linear, cyclodextrin-containing polycation that, when mixed with small interfering RNA (siRNA), binds to the anionic backbone of the siRNA. The polymer and siRNA self-assemble into nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm in diameter that fully protect the siRNA from nuclease degradation in serum.
The siRNA delivery system has been designed to allow for intravenous injection. Upon delivery to the target cell, the targeting ligand binds to membrane receptors on the cell surface and the RNA-containing nanoparticle is taken into the cell by endocytosis. There, chemistry built into the polymer functions to unpackage the siRNA from the delivery vehicle. In addition to targeting tumors, the targeting of liver cells has also been accomplished in vivo.

Scott writes: I believe that students can reach their maximum potential in math and science if given the correct environment to do so.I see every student as a person that has untapped potential in many areas. My job is to tap into the area of their brain that allows them to comprehend mathematics and understand what they are doing. Every year in June I find it difficult to let my students move on to high school. I never feel like I've had enough time with them. I'm sure that if I taught them for multiple years I would feel the same way. Students need time to explore and discuss their findings. This is where the learning really starts to grow. Discourse among their peers and sharing their thoughts with the whole class allows them to become better at forming their thoughts and getting others to understand them. Communication in mathematics is crucial. Students and teachers need to discuss mathematics with each other in order to help each other grow in their knowledge. Early mathematicians discussed mathematics, as should we. It is not meant to be an isolationist activity, although it may lend itself to be one. The old saying, "Two minds are better than one", applies to mathematics.

Vibration at speed
Im posting here but it could very well go somewhere else. Just guessing.
1967 Belvedere with 727 3.55:1 gears
Im experiencing a harmonic vibration that comes in one second intervals. The vibration is in the seat of the pants (and up the back!), goes through the car for one second, one second rest, then repeats. Does not affect steeringno steering vibration.
Things I have checked:
New tiresspin balanced. Vibration was there with old tires and with new tiresno difference.
Front end alignment on target.
Drive shaft balanced. U-joints good. Drive shaft does not demonstrate out-of-balance rotation when checked.
Motor mounts good.
Front suspension good. Tie rods, ball joints, pitman arm ok, greased, no looseness.
Vibration is SPEED specific, not RPM specific. Above 45, vibration begins and continues through 75-80 or even higher mph. No smoothing out so I dont believe it is caster shake. Below 45, regardless of RPMs, no vibration.
Things to check next?
Just a thought, I've had vibrations caused by the brakes. The parking brake was not releasing all the way and caused a vibration over about 60 km/hr. the only reason I caught it was because I pulled on the brake cable and it released. Another time it was a slightly seized caliper and a rotor that was warping more and more because of the heat, the hot rim was a dead give away. That's a vibe that rips through the back.
I've heard that radial tires on older cars can sometimes cause harmonic vibrations. The running frequency of radials is different from bias ply tires and can cause the suspension components to oscillate at their natural frequencies. I've never experienced it for myself, so I don't know exactly what it sounds or feels like.
A pilot bearing for a manual transmission will also cause vibrations like you're describing, and disengaging the transmission doesn't always stop the vibe.
How are the wheel bearings? I've had a noisy vibe when I let the wheel bearings go, but it's not really the kind that will jostle the spine, just annoy the ear drums.
I've had a similar vibration caused by a malleable iron harmonic balancer starting to come apart. It didn't vibrate when the engine was disengaged from the transmission, but it did vibrate over a certain speed. When the engine was disengaged over that speed, the vibration would stop. You probably got the car to speed and flipped it into neutral to check this, I assume that's what you meant by not RPM specific.
With out going into the transmission, That's about all I can come up with, good luck.
Yeah, it's an automatic, so the pilot bearing thing is out.
A friend suggested wheel bearings, but I agree with you. Usually they just make a terrible racket, but don't cause a nice harmonic vibration--and I mean IT'S A VIBRATION. You feel it through the entire car.
The radial tire explanation I guess is possible--others have suggested it. But I've driven almost every kind of "old" car out there and invariably adding radial tires usually just improves handling without any other symptoms. I guess this could be the exception, but...
The harmonic balancer looks brand new. I haven't checked for slippage--will do that.
Speaking of the transmission, could a poorly meshed rear gear set do this? I've heard that you need the mesh pattern down right, otherwise it could be a problem.
I raise that issue because it is a fairly new tranny--not sure when it was rebuilt--but supposed to have been recently.
Another idea a friend has had is a bad or out of round axle. Possible?
Out of round Axle is possible, if you mean out of round at the bearing surface. I haven't heard of axles going out of round from wear or stress, and I don't know what a bad axle is so I can't comment. The ones I've worked on usually go out of round at the bearing surface, (usually because of the bearing) so If you're going to check the bearings, you'll see it. If that's the case, see if you can get an axle repair bearing. It's the same bearing, but the case is made so the bearings run a little further in (or out) on the axle surface. I don't think you're going to get off that easy though because you probably would have heard the vibe from the bearing wearing out in the first place, unless the bearing just fell apart.
Another thought is the diff. carrier bearing. My experience is with cars a little newer than yours so I don't really know how yours is set up, but I would pull off the diff. cover and check things out. Probably a good time to do an oil change and slide in that new synthetic oil. (I'm so sold on that stuff, 463 000kms on my diff. with no problems) I'd start there before checking out the trans, although checking the rear output shaft for play is pretty easy too.
I had a vibe in a chevy van that I couldn't find for the life of me, the kind of vibe that made looking in the mirrors impossible. It was the planetary gear in the trans missing a half a dozen teeth. Of course that meant a rebuild, so I'd try looking for the simple stuff first.
good luck
A few things to look at.
Alignment of the drive shaft U Joints.
Raise the vehicle on a lift and look down the drive shaft from the differential.
The ujoints should be in line.
If you see the front one off a bit the transmission mount has slipped.
The mount has a bolt going through a rubber mount.
After several years the rubber will deteriorate and the drive train will move sideways one way or the other.
Also check to see if the transmission isn't resting on the cross member. Again from a bad mount.
The engine mounts can cause this as well.
If one is sagged it will upset the apple cart.
Don't want to lose all your precious apples.
Maybe a bad torque converter? You can DEFINITELY feel a bad vibration when those are out of balance or internally damaged. Although I'd think that would be more rpm specific.
Does the pitch of the vibration change between 45 & 75mph?
For Jimfulco:
Yes, the pitch of the vibration changes between 45 and 75. The worst is dead on 60 mph. At that speed, the vibration is a nice, steady harmonic hum through the body in one second intervals with one second between vibrations.
At 75, the harmonic vibration seems to be quicker (faster) in its resonation, and sometimes you "think" it has disappeared because it is vibrating so rapidly through the car. But, you can still feel it--more like a constant hum or vibration as the car moves down the highway. Then you drop it down to 60 mph and the one second intervals begin again.
For flyfisher and Stu:
Both of your suggestions seem like possibilities. I had the car up on a lift previously and the tranny mounts looked okay, but then again, I wasn't looking specifically for that as a trouble spot. So, next chance I get I'll check that out along with the axle/wheel bearings and the diff. carrier bearing.
Id be interested to hear the solution as I am having the EXACT same problem. I too have replaced the driveshaft, motor mounts, tranny mount, ujoints to no avail.
In the past I had a brake rubbing the drums and am starting to wonder if this could be the case again. I also plan on inspecting the rear end here shortly and will be sure to let you know if I find anything.
Hope this gets figured out for both our sakes lol.
Bringing history and technology together.
I have been fighting the same type of problem for the last 2 weeks or so on my 66 Caprice. I replaced the engine and tranny mounts, had the drive shaft balanced, had the tires rebalanced, all to no avail. Previously, while I had the brakes apart, I had the brake drums powder coated. I'm thinking the sandblasting and powder coating changed the balance on the drums. This weekend, I replaced the two front drums with a set from the salvage yard. The low-speed, 45-60 mph vibration went away, but I still feel it at around 70 mph. I'm going to replace the rear drums tomorrow to see if that eliminates the problem completely. I'll let you know what I find out.
I would be very interested in Vista Cruiser's results. My brakes appear to work fine, but not in reverse. That is, I really have to stomp on the vacuum assisted power brakes to make the car stop while in reverse. Braking while moving forward is no problem.
I would not have imagined that it could be out-of-round drums or brakes that could cause such a vibration.
Let us know what you find as soon as possible. I'd rather tear into the brakes than the tranny or differential.
I had a similar problem like that caused by a rear u-joint not perfectly centered on the mount. It was only about 1/8" offcenter, but it was enough to cause vibrations around 60mph and faster.
It was not the right u-joint. My drive shaft is custom and the ujoint lengths are different on the x-y axis. It took a while to find the right one that fit, but since then, there's been no vibration problems.
Wheel bearings............................
check drums, rotors for runout
flywheel out off balance.
loose rear spring mounts
basically anything that rotates is suspect.
Have a look at the pinion angle.
It could be too high or too low.

Spray foam insullation touch up - what can be used?
The skinny: had closed cell spray foam installed in my basement remodel. very happy with it so far. I have to run a few additional wires, and would like to add some more insulation in a few more spots and completly fill a few places/voids. I have r14 in walls and r21 in the rimm joist.
questions- Do i need to order a spray foam touch up kit from one of the online places do do this?
Is the "great stuff" http://greatstuff.dow.com/ insullation in a can closed cell, can it be used for touch up/more filling?
Closed cell window and door foam (available at HD/Lowes) will work fine.
windows, so the foam in a can like great stuff or i saw another brand dont remeber what it is , is closed cell? i read the can and couldnt find that isted.
Most foams for gap and crack fillers are open cell.
FWIW, I've looked and never found any of the spray foams at big box stores that actually specified whether they were open of closed cell foam.
Does anyone know what the Hilti spray foam is? I assume that is high grade.
I havent found any spray foam in the bix box that is closed cell. Also when choosing an online foam look at the data sheet. All closed cell is not created equal. I had a pro install spray foam, went to the data sheet for it and most of the closed cell do it yourself foams are not as good. I found that to match what my contractor installed i need the High density version of some foams to match the perms if they offer one comparable.
Window and door low expansion foam is CC SPF in most cases.
windows, thanks, for some reasone latly i am brain damaged, i just googled is great stuff closed cell , and yes it is per
Glad I could help.
Good luck and happy DIY'ing!
