Picoult on the pulse of Middle America
It took Picoult several years to figure out how being a mother and being a novelist could co-exist.
Jodi Picoult's tales of family and community agony, usually set in small New England towns and often focused on a social issue, appear at a rate of about one a year. She says she has the next four already worked out. "I'm sure I can do 20, at least," she says.
Her 2005 novel of a woman seeking the truth of her past, Vanishing Acts, has spent more than a month on The New York Times paperback bestseller list. Her just-published novel about teenage date rape, The Tenth Circle, has a first printing of 350,000 copies. And after 14 years and 12 previous novels, there are more than 3 million of Picoult's books in print in 25 countries.
The new work has one innovative feature: a comic-book story is interspersed throughout the novel. The main character of The Tenth Circle - Daniel Stone, father of the raped girl - is a comic-book artist. In the wake of the rape he draws a nightmarish version of his family's crisis, with a Dantean trip to hell. When she began writing the book, Picoult hired a young San Francisco-based comic-book artist, Dustin Weaver, to draw this parallel story, called The Immortal Wildclaw in the Tenth Circle.
Despite her immense publishing output, Picoult, 39, has a normal busy life - with three young kids and an antique-dealer husband who often works at home - far from the cliche of the tormented writer at war with everyday life.
Interviewed at her home near Hanover Center, New Hampshire, she and her husband, Tim van Leer, had just returned from a weekend hockey tournament with Jake, their 12-year-old son. There was a friendly dog underfoot, jackets and skates lying about, and kids' messy bedrooms visible through open doors. She proves to be energetic, cheerful and voluble, seeming to prove that a productive creative writer need not be a crabby recluse. The door of her attic writing room is always open, she says, and her kids interrupt her freely.
Picoult grew up on Long Island and comes, she says, from "a long line of teachers". But she wanted to be a writer and went to Princeton University "because it was one of the few colleges at the time with an undergraduate program in creative writing". She met van Leer there, they were married in 1989 and lived for years in the Boston area, where she got a master's degree in education from Harvard.
In 1989 she began what became her first novel, Songs of the Humpback Whale, while holding a succession of jobs, as a school teacher, advertising copywriter and business textbook editor.
From the start, she learned to carve out writing time. While editing, she says, "I used to do all my work before 10 in the morning, close my door, and write the whole day." But after she sold Songs in 1991, her son Kyle was born, and things got more complicated.
"It took several years to figure out how being a mother and being a novelist could co-exist," she writes in a later email, "and even more remarkably, complement each other. Being able to write for a few hours every day makes the time I spend with my kids that much more precious, and being a mother makes me gravitate towards topics that I worry about as a parent, and wrestle with in fiction in the hope that I won't have to wrestle with them in reality."
Picoult's novels often centre on real problems in American society. The Pact (1998) is about teenage suicide. Perfect Match (2002) concerns child sex abuse by a Catholic priest in Maine. The 13-year-old protagonist of My Sister's Keeper (her first big seller, in 2004), whose parents use her life as a source of blood and marrow transfusions for her older sister with leukemia, sues her parents for control of her own body. Next year's book, which is already finished, is about a school shooting in a New Hampshire town.
"She's so good at taking these huge national topics and throwing them in your backyard," says Emily Bestler, executive editorial director of Picoult's publisher, Atria Books, a division of Simon & Schuster. "We might sit around and think, 'What if there were a school shooting in my town?' I couldn't imagine it, but when I read her novel, I really could imagine it. Everything that is dark and scary and convoluted, she puts on the page. All the good stuff is her own life."
Picoult says, "I live this ridiculously charmed life. I don't think I could write those things if I had lived them. I need to come down at the end of the night when I am done writing and know that I have three healthy kids and a great husband and a terrific family."
With her one-book-per-year production rate, one might expect Picoult's novels to be shallow fare. But they're highly structured, extensively researched and intricately plotted, with many characters and scenes and multiple points of view. For My Sister's Keeper, she immersed herself in learning about APL, acute promyelocytic leukemia. "It does have to ring true," she says. "It's a huge compliment that the book has been reviewed in medical journals."
Though she says her mission is story-telling, not writing useful treatises on social controversies, it's clear that the issues played out in her books are of deep interest to her, apart from the art she makes of them. For example, the first several minutes of our interview were about the reality of date rape and impersonal sex among teenagers.
Picoult is proud of her work but still seems a bit astounded to consider it as a whole. She says, "There are times when I look at the sales figures and think, 'OK, my mother's friends can't be the only ones reading this book any more. She doesn't have that many friends.' There are times I think I'm going to wake up and find out it's been totally a dream, but wow, it's been a great dream."

Scott Moyse
Hey Guys, cheers for checking out DesignAndMotion.net. First things first, I'm a Proud Cornishman living in the 'winterless' north of New Zealand way down in the southern Pacific. I'm currently a Manufacturing Technical Specialist for Autodesk VAR CADPRO Systems, based in Auckland, New Zealand. If you want to know more about my professional background, I keep that up to date on my Linked In Profile.
Although I wouldn't be surprised if you thought otherwise, I do have a life outside of Design, Autodesk Software, CAM, blogging and twitter. I have a beautiful, tolerant and smart Wife, a very clever 11 year old daughter, and a troublesome 2 year old son. I'm a complete Formula One nut but I'm interested in all forms of petroleum based sport (including NASCAR, sometimes), I used to be an excellent Skier however living in a sub tropical area of the world and loving food too much has made me quite rusty. I've also lived in France for a number of years, along with spending a lot of time there as a child with my parents and siblings, which naturally resulted in a love for the place and most things French. I used to be a fluent speaker of the beautiful language, the same can't be said any more, however, I have no doubt the rot would be reversed after spending a couple of months there again in the future. Fortunately for my wife, my love of food is backed up by a love of cooking, I've cooked since I was 6 years old but have always hated the cleaning up afterwards. My favourite thing to cook these days since I'm a long way from Cornwall, is a good ol' Cornish Pasty! I'm also very fond of travelling, preferably to go on holiday though. I've been fortunate enough to visit a number of countries around the world and hope that will continue in the future.
Anyway I reckon that's enough about me, I hope the content I post on this blog will speak for itself.
If you like you can follow me on twitter where I bang on about all sorts of stuff!
Mike Thomas
Hello from the great white north (Canada)! My name is Mike Thomas and I have gained a lot of experience and expertise with Autodesk products, primarily in the Manufacturing realm. I spent the first 12-years of my career in the Autodesk channel working for an Autodesk reseller as an Application Specialist. During my travels I delivered many hours of training, support, demos, and implementations. I got to see a lot of great places, meet interesting people, and see problems that I was very fortunate to be able to help solve with Autodesk software and improved processes.
I've been using AutoCAD since r13 (c4 to be specific… I know, I know missed all the "fun" of r13), cut my solid modelling teeth on Mechanical Desktop, and have been using Inventor since before it was known as Inventor (anyone remember Rubicon?). Data Management has always been a big part of my professional life, for the most part with Autodesk Vault and all of its flavours.
Now I am the Technical Services Manager at Prairie Machine & Parts Mfg (www.pmparts.com) a mining equipment manufacturer. After spending many hours there implementing their Vault they decided to give me a permanent office! Reporting to the VP of Sales and Engineering, I'm responsible for overseeing the engineering departments' technical operations and technical growth. Primary duties include the ongoing support of both software and hardware, while improving interaction between engineering and the other departments. We're always looking to get stronger, faster, and more efficient.
Over the past year I've also been fortunate to be involved in some exciting projects outside my regular CAD Manager duties:
- The implementation and development of an internal wiki site for process documentation and user training.
- The complete overhaul of the corporate website (www.pmparts.com), including all imagery and much of the content and layout.
- Delivered a series of wiki blog posts on technical communication to improve the internal and external communication of the Engineering Department.
- Started down the path of integration of Vault with the MRP system.
Outside of work I am blessed with four beautiful daughters and a wife who is not only strong enough to put up with me but is able to stay home and put up with the day-to-day shenanigans of raising four girls all under the age of 10. I cheer hard for my Pittsburgh Penguins, love all things hockey and love coaching my kids in ball. Lately a hobby of trying beers from around the world has developed and I'm always on the lookout for new ones to try.
You can find me on twitter (@aurbis) which I'm trying to be more involved.
Gavin Bath
Hello, I'm Gavin, a Technical Consultant for an Autodesk VAR in Christchurch, New Zealand. I emigrated here from South Africa when I was 11 years old, eventually marrying a girl from the deep south (of New Zealand.) We have 2 child-substitutes in the form of Sphynx cats, but hope to add some human members to the family at some point too.
Outside of work I am a man of numerous varied passions and interests. A few that stand out would be: touring around our beautiful country on my motorbike with my wife, hacking my espresso machine to make a better cup, performing CNC conversions on machine tools, and building UAVs. Some of these personal projects might filter through to my blog posts as most of my hobbies involve design/digital prototyping of some sort.
I'm an Autodesk Inventor 2015 Certified Professional and focus on Inventor, Vault and the HSM CAM products. My role is a split between technical support/consulting and software development, usually in the form of customisation for Autodesk Products. Before becoming a Technical Consultant, I spent about 10 years using Inventor and Vault as a mechanical designer. I have worked in a variety of industries including Aerospace, Defense, Consumer Products, and materials handling equipment for everything from logging/mining to food. In these areas I've designed machinery, equipment and products involving a huge variety of materials and manufacturing processes.
I place utmost emphasis on manufacturability in the design work I do, as a result of having always worked very closely with the manufacturing environment. This has taught me to adapt and calibrate my digital-prototyping tools to give real-world results.
Working for a reseller, I now get even more exposure to interesting companies in a huge range of additional fields. This gives me a great insight into the real needs and frustrations that designers and engineers face every day. I'll draw from this experience to try to provide you with interesting and valuable information. Of course my views expressed on Design & Motion are my own & don't necessarily represent those of my employer.

The Cierzo 28 is an ultralight, streamlined pack designed for summit assaults and single day climbing trips, with a feature set that expands its versatility. Made from N210p-HT nylon 6,6 high-density plain weave fabric, the Cierzo is light and tough. The special blended high tenacity nylon weave increases durability and tear resistance, and has a DWR finish and polyurethane coating for weather resistance. The material's light weight is one of the key ways Arc'teryx designers kept the Cierzo 28's weight to a mere 545 grams (19.2 oz).
FOCUS on FUNCTION
Sized to carry a day's load, the Cierzo 28 has a spacious main compartment, and adds several smart features that expand its ability to handle necessary gear. The ingenious SwiftCord™ drawstring serves a compression system and carrying tool. Designed so the user can configure it to fit their specific carry needs, the SwiftCord™ helps secure a hardshell or belay parka, crampons, or sleeping pad. If not needed, the SwiftCord™ can be removed to further streamline the Cierzo's profile. The main compartment is hydration bladder compatible and features a glove-friendly pull-to-open/pull-to-close drawcord system, and a top compression strap that can secure a climbing rope. An external pocket holds small essentials, and an internal pocket stashes wallet, phone, headlamp, and clips in keys.
The pack's narrow profile stays out of the way while climbing, and balances well while scrambling. The back panel is padded with a removable high-density closed cell foam sheet for improved carry comfort. The pad can be taken out and used a sit pad, or left out altogether to reduce weight or allow the pack to be rolled up for compact transportation. Lightly padded straps carry comfortably without adding unnecessary weight and bulk, and a webbing waistbelt stabilizes the pack. An adjustable sternum strap adds comfort. The Cierzo 28 is a go-to pack. While the design and feature set are focused on climbing, the Cierzo offers versatility and capacity that crosses over to minimalist backpacking trips or extended day hikes.

(Mar. 13, 2012) On March 7, 2012, Norwegian prosecutors made public the 18-page indictment against Anders Behring Breivik on charges of terrorism, arson, and murder. Breivik is accused of having killed 77 people, in Oslo and on the nearby island of Utøya, on July 22, 2012. (Horror of Norway Massacre Detailed in Terror Indictment Against Confessed Killer Breivik, THE WASHINGTON POST, (Mar. 7, 2012); Norway Attacks: Breivik Charged with Terror Attacks, BBC NEWS (Mar. 7, 2012); Trond Lepperød, Her er Breivik-tiltalen [Here Is the Breivik-Indictment], NETTAVISEN (Mar. 7, 2012) [viewed in machine translation; cites excerpts of the indictment].)
Prosecutors Svein Holden and Inga Bejer Engh stated in the indictment, "[t]he defendant has committed extremely serious offenses on a scale that has never previously been experienced in our country in modern times." (THE WASHINGTON POST, supra.) The prosecution has indicated that it might seek a sentence of compulsory psychiatric care for Breivik instead of a prison sentence, in light of some medical assessments deeming him psychotic, but it reserved the right "to request a prison punishment or containment lasting 21 years, based on the complete evidence shown to the court" during the trial set to begin on April 16. (BBC NEWS, supra; THE WASHINGTON POST, supra.) Bejer Engh was quoted as commenting that "[i]n either case, Breivik could spend the rest of his life in captivity," and, she stated, "[r]egardless of the sentence, we have promised that we will do whatever we can to keep him away from society as long as the system allows us … ." (THE WASHINGTON POST, supra.)
The Indictment and Sanity of Suspect
The indictment against Breivik has two counts, but, as was indicated above, it is subject to a consideration of his sanity. If Breivik is determined to be criminally insane, he would be subject to transfer to compulsory mental health care under section 39 of Norway's criminal law, the General Civil Penal Code. (Lepperød, supra; Almindelig borgerlig Straffelov (Straffeloven) [General Civil Penal Code (Penal Code), Act No. 10 of May 22, 1902 (as last amended by Act. No. 6 of Jan. 20, 2012), LOVDATA online legal database, & English translation as of Dec. 2005, University of Oslo Translated Norwegian Legislation website; Morten Ø. Karlsen, Les tiltalen mot Breivik her [Read the Indictment Against Breivik Here], NETTAVISEN (Mar. 7, 2012) [cites text of indictment with names removed] [viewed in machine translation].)
Count 1 of the Indictment
The first count of the indictment relates to acts committed in Regjeringskvatalet, the government quarter of Oslo. The criminal charges are for terrorism, arson, and murder. (Lepperød, supra.)
Crimes of terrorism and the corresponding punishments are set forth chiefly under Chapter 14, "Felonies Against Public Safety," of the Penal Code. The maximum term of imprisonment stipulated upon conviction for such acts is 21 years. The Penal Code provision on terrorism named in the Breivik indictment is section 147a, paragraphs 1(a)&(b). It provides that any criminal act (with reference to other specified sections of the Penal Code) "is considered to be a terrorist act and is punishable by imprisonment for a term not exceeding 21 years when such act has been committed with the intention of (a) seriously disrupting a function of vital importance to society, …" and "(b) seriously intimidating a population … ." (General Civil Penal Code, supra.)
The Penal Code provision on arson is in section 148, paragraph 1. That is also punishable upon conviction with a maximum prison term of 21 years. The crime of homicide is under section 233 of the Code; the maximum penalty of 21 years is applicable if conditions such as premeditation, repeat offenses, or "especially aggravating circumstances" are involved. (Id.) The indictment mentions premeditated murder and particularly aggravating circumstances. (Lepperød, supra.) The indictment names eight people killed in the blast and nine who suffered serious physical injuries, and it notes that at least another 200 persons were injured in varying degrees. (Karlsen, supra.)
Count 2 of the Indictment
Count 2 of the indictment addresses crimes committed at Utøya. It cites the same sections of the Penal Code on terrorism in connection with serious intimidation of a population and on premeditated murder with aggravating circumstances as those cited for the crimes in Oslo under count 1. (Lepperød, supra.) The indictment names the 69 people killed, as well as the 33 persons who were injured. (Karlsen, supra.)
Section 49 of the Penal Code, on "punishable attempt," applies to certain sections in both counts of the indictment, with reference to confiscation of such items as the weapons, ammunition, and bomb-making materials used. (Id.)
The indictment states that claims for compensation/damages by survivors and victims will be made by counsel in accordance with sections 428 (on civil claims) and 264b, paragraph 2 (on deadlines and procedures for submission of claims to a court) of the Criminal Procedure Code. (Id.; Lov om rettergangsmåten i straffesaker (Straffeprosessloven) [Act on Legal Procedure in Criminal Cases (Criminal Procedure Act)] (May 22, 1981) (last amended by Acts No. 5 & No. 6, both Jan. 20, 2012), LOVDATA [viewed in machine translation]; see also Wendy Zeldin, Norway: Developments in Mass Murder Case, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Jan. 20, 2012), & Wendy Zeldin, Norway: Norwegian Criminal Law and the July 22, 2011, Massacre (Aug. 2011), Law Library of Congress website.)

While Christmas markets are a mainstay of today's UK festivities, their origins can be traced back to the late Middle Ages in German-speaking Europe.
Christmas Markets date back to the late Middle Ages, where they started appearing in the German-speaking part of Europe, as well as France and Switzerland. One of the first markets on record occurred as early as 1294, when the Vienna 'December market' was first held. The Christmas markets of Bautzen were first held in 1384, while Dresden's Strietzelmarkt first took place in 1434.
Hundreds of years later, Christmas markets are still a large part of Austrian and German culture, with a Weihnachtsmarkt found in most German cities during the four weeks of advent. These brightly lit and bustling markets are often held in central town squares, with open-air stalls selling a wide variety of seasonal items and festive food and drink, along with traditional singing and dancing, nativity plays and magnificent Christmas lights and decorations.
But nowadays, you don't need to go to Germany or Austria to experience everything a Christmas market has to offer. There are markets across the UK this time of year, and since most are inspired by the German model, there's no lack of traditional fare, including ginger cookies, glühwein, bratwurst and roasted chestnuts.
One of the first Christmas markets established in the UK was the Lincoln Christmas market, which started in 1982. It now boasts over 300 stalls, attracting more than 100 000 visitors over its four days.
Another favourite is the Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market in Hampshire. This market is largely recognised as one of the best in Europe – and certainly one of the UK's prettiest. The market is held in the cathedral's historic Inner Close, with exhibitors selling their goods from lovely wooden chalets surrounding an open-air ice rink. The Winchester Cathedral Market first appeared in 2006 and now welcomes more than 350 000 visitors a year.
London, too, offers a selection of vibrant and festive Christmas markets, including the Southbank Centre Christmas Market, which runs from mid-November to Christmas Eve.

I missed Ella's Kindergarten Picnic a couple of weekends ago while I was in Maui, but the family made it without me and had a blast.
Beyond stories of playing ninja warrior in the woods, having an impromptu class wide dance party after dinner and eating lots of great food (and Mexican s'mores), I heard about this super cool RV trailer that one of the kiddo's Dads built and was giving tours for.
The company is called Cricket Trailer and boy are their RVs rad. The owner / Ella's classmate's Dad is a NASA consultant working on astronauts' living / working quarters (space architecture!), pair that with a love for camping and travel and you've got a perfect concoction for portable vacation housing awesomeness.
Lately I've been getting pretty obsessed with down sizing again (or right sizing?), the idea of shedding the majority of your physical belongings and setting up house in a tiny setting sounds amazing. Imagine a 38 foot fifth wheel that looked like these guys?
The inside is a a perfect little camping space, but with less annoying poles and flaps to blow up during Marfa sandstorms.

|Return to SERVICE LEARNING
1. What is Service Learning (what is not)?
Service learning is a structured experience in which students participate in and reflect upon a community service activity for university credit. The experience is related to a specific, targeted area of study in the curriculum. The goal is to improve students' understanding of the discipline while also developing their sense of civic responsibility.
Service Learning vs Volunteering & Internships
In general, volunteering, internships and service learning overlap in some areas; however, it is service learning's foundation in pedagogy that separates it from the others. As a volunteer a student would work in a soup kitchen for a day. As a service-learner he or she must also go home and think about why soup kitchens exist, what type of people are at the soup kitchen, what are the circumstances that led them there, if soup kitchens should exist or be reformed in some way, etc.
As an intern the student is encouraged to network, gain job skills, and associate "book learning" with the outside world in order to help them find work after graduation. As a service-learner the student engages in a partnership with the community in order to gain the skills necessary for working with diversified groups of people.
So while internships, volunteering and service learning afford students the opportunity to help the community or gain work skills, service learning adds several elements: a partnership between the community and the volunteer/student; reflection on the part of the student, the community, and the institution involved; a connection between the volunteer experience and a student's credit bearing academic coursework.

David Hussey has again pressed his claims for a place in Australia's Test squad after the Nottinghamshire star compiled his second hundred of Australia A's tour of Pakistan.
The 30-year-old made 112 batting at number three in the second 'Test' with Pakistan A, which finished as a draw and helped the tourists win the series 1-0.
That followed his mammoth 185 in the first Test, which Australia won by an innings and 203 runs.
Hussey had less success in the preceding one-day series, however, as Pakistan came out on top 3-0.

SPORTS>> Lanier leads Lady Devils to sweep
Leader sportswriter
JONESBORO The long bus ride had no adverse effects, nor did the drizzly conditions.
Jacksonville dominated both games of a 6A-East Conference doubleheader at Jonesboro on Saturday with a career day for sophomore pitcher Jessica Lanier. Lanier struck out all but six of the batters she faced on her way to throwing a perfect game during a 4-0 win in the opener, and hit it over the wall during both of her trips to the plate in Game 2, which led to a 8-0 Lady Red Devils win.
Jessica had a great day, shepitched well and had two home runs, Lady Red Devil coach Tanya Ganey said. But the whole team was really incredible. Defensively, we all stepped up. We had girls that got their first varsity hits.
Lanier ended up with 28 strikeouts in the two games, with 13 more coming in the nightcap. She did give up a pair of hits and a walk in the second game, but the Lady Devil defense held strong with their second error-free performance of the day.
The victories allowed Jacksonville to keep pace in the conference as one of three teams with two losses. The Lady Red Devils improved to 9-2 in league and 11-4 overall.
Bad weather threatened to cancel yet another day for the Lady Red Devils.
Upon arrival, the two teams had two wait out the rain and lightning that was in the northeast Arkansas area, but it finally subsided, and the games went on as planned.
Jonesboro allowed seven hits in the first game. Jennifer Bock landed two of those hits for the Lady Red Devils, as did Riley Zinc. Taylor Norsworthy, Paula Burr and Chyna Davis each finished with one hit.
Many of the usual suspects stepped up to have good offensive performances in Game 2, and even a couple of new faces.
Laniers 2 of 2, two-home-run performance led the way, but Davis also backed up her Game 1 performance by going 2 of 3.
Ganey put some fresh faces into the lineup late after they had the game in hand, and first-timers Casey Tyson and Frederika Hart took advantage by coming away with their first varsity hits.
We have some big games coming up this week in Marion and Mountain Home; well find out what were really made of after those.
The Lady Devils played at Marion last night after Leader deadlines. The Lady Patriots took the win 2-0 during the first meeting between the two teams, but Jacksonville had one runner on and no outs in the bottom of the sixth when the game was called for weather.

How Money Are You: Trip to the Grocery Store, Safeway
My trip to Safeway this weekend taught me that I need to pay better attention while I'm shopping. I ended up taking home a jar of rotten pickles because I was rushing through the trip and had to go back to the store, wasting both time and gas. Other than the pickle incident it was a successful trip to the grocery store. Can you guess how much I paid for some of the items I purchased?
How Money Are You: Trip to the Grocery Store, Safeway
I bought a 1.5 pound bag of Brach's candy corn for my seasonal coffee table candy. Can you guess how much it cost?

The Princeton High School one-act play team started the new season last Saturday by performing in the Granite Ridge invitational in Little Falls.
The PHS team this year is doing the dramatic one-act play, "Offerings," written in 2010 by Alan Haenal.
The invitational meet teams, which also included St. Cloud Cathedral, Milaca, Zimmerman and Foley, were not judged in the sense of anything counting for competition, noted PHS one-act play director Laura Berhuis. It's an invitational where each team just gets critiqued by judges. The first competition for PHS will be the one-act subsection this coming Saturday in St. Francis.
As a result of the invitational critiques, Berghuis said, there will be some experimenting during the next rehearsals to see how certain changes might look.
"Offerings" is about a group of 10 people who receive notice that they are to go to a certain location and make an offering. When they arrive, they see a steamer trunk with a designated square in front of it, and then hear the voice of an unseen person giving them orders. The group characters are played by Casey Mordal, Heather Van Slyke, Matt Kreft, Sydney Arens, Alexis Jorgenson, Nicole Sorenson, Kenny Iverson, Jaysen Hohlen, Andrew Sorenson and Tom Crawford. The unseen source of the voice is Matt Girtz. Austin Berghuis runs the light board and Jozette DeVries and Rachel St. Hilaire run the spotlights.
The public has a chance to see the half-hour production of "Offerings" for free at the PHS performing arts center today (Thursday, Jan. 26) starting at 7 p.m.

The young children of an Australian woman who were found dead in their Canadian home were murdered, an autopsy has found.
Thirty-one-year-old Allyson McConnell, originally from Gosford on the NSW Central Coast, is at the centre of the investigation into the deaths.
Her husband Curtis said he found their children, Jayden, nine months, and Connor, three, dead in the bathroom of their family home in the small town of Millet, Alberta, on Monday local time (Tuesday morning AEDT).
Ms McConnell, whose maiden name is Meager, was hospitalised after jumping off a bridge in nearby Edmonton in an apparent attempt on her own life.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) told AAP on Thursday (AEDT) that newspaper reports claiming they had alleged Ms McConnell killed the children were incorrect. They said they hadn't commented on that, and no charges had yet been laid.
But post-mortem examinations confirmed the deaths were homicides, RCMP said in a statement.
The cause of death has not been released, with police fearing it may negatively impact the investigation.
But the National Post newspaper in Canada quoted an anonymous family friend who said the boys drowned in the bath.
Police also said that a car found in an Edmonton Toys'R'Us car park was linked to the deaths.
"Investigators are not yet able to comment on what, if any, connection exists between the vehicle or its circumstances and the circumstances involving the two deaths in Millet," an RCMP statement said.
The couple were going through a custody dispute after divorce proceedings late in 2009, the Edmonton Journal reported.

Metallica "Battery" Cover Using Voices And Drums
I don't know if you'd call these dudes(and chick) metal beatboxers, but what comes out of their mouths is amazing. Check out their full cover of Metallica "Battery" using on their voices and drummer.
I don't know whats up with all of these covers people are doing of metal(Du hast, Enter Sandman) but I'm digging it. Also, this group, Van Canto seems pretty sweet. Pretty cool gimmick and the chick is more than doable.

Seeing as the season premiere for The Amazing Race 20 is already over, I guess the time for bios is gone, but what I can do is break down the teams based on what I watched Sunday night. Let's go in order of how they finished….
Dave and Rachel
I just can't get over how this is clearly going to be Maci Bookout in 10 years with whatever boyfriend she has at the time. I think every M/F team has a legitimate shot at winning, and being in the army, this team could go deep into the game.
Brendan and Rachel
The token "famous" people of the season. Brendan and Rachel are best known for Big Brother, but they're taking the Jeff/Jordan, Rob/Amber route and trying their luck on The Amazing Race. Jeff and Jordan were booted pretty early, and that doesn't shock me. To put it nicely, as far as TAR goes, Jordan makes a good Big Brother houseguest (meaning: She's not good at doing anything bit sitting around a house all summer). Rob and Amber finished 2nd because they're both fierce competitors, and that's around the place I can see Brendan and Rachel finishing. Easily top 5, maybe even winning it. Rachel may come off as whiny, but once you begin a competition, she is scary to watch.
Art and JJ
Honestly, I don't even remember these two being on the show this week. That's the impact they made. Great, border patrol agents. Well, if The Amazing Race has a competition to catch people crossing the border, Art and JJ may have a chance. Otherwise, I expect the first 'mental' competition to quickly put these two in last place.
The rest after the jump
Nary and Jamie
This team strongly reminds me of the doctors from season 18 – Nat and Kat. I mean shit, Jamie even looks like the blonde from that team….
I almost wonder if "Jamie" was really Nat (or Kat?) who got bored and is now posing as a federal agent trying to win the show again. While Jamie and Nary have odds against them (it's very hard for F/F team to win), I think this is the team that can do it. They're the badass version of the doctors, and what Art and JJ want to be.
Vanessa and Ralph
Another team I barely remember. Middle of the pack, hard to really get a grasp on them so far, but they finished this leg, so you have to give them credit there.
Elliot and Andrew
Twins who want to make it known that they're not gay. I know it wasn't as bad as it sounds there, it was more of a joke, so don't get worked up. Anyway, they kind of remind me of the snowboarders from what, last season? M/M teams generally do pretty well, as long as they're not morons. This pair could be in the running for a bit.
Kerri and Stacy
The "badonkadonk" cousins (coined by Bopper and Mark), who ironically didn't appear to have great asses… we'll have to judge that further. Forgive me for not knowing which is which, but this was the team where one of them was terrified of heights, but managed to still jump out of the plane. Because of that courage, I give them a few more weeks than I originally would have.
Dave and Cherie
Clowns who spent most of the episode crying. Not very cheerful if you ask me. While they may be nice people, this is clearly a "throw-away" team that doesn't have a legitimate shot at winning and won't be surprised if they're gone next week or the week after. Sorry guys, tears of a clown indeed.
Mark and Bopper
Stereotypical redneck team, and is clearly having no problems living up to the stereotypes. Seem like good guys, however I'm sure if they make it to week 5 or beyond, they're quickly going to become 'that annoying team', but don't worry, I'm not sure they'll make it that far.
Joey "Fitness" and Danny
You have MTV's Maci Bookout in 10 years playing for team Dave and Rachel, and here you have (pick any Jersey Shore cast member) in 10 years. The problem for this team is they seem about as smart as the cast of the "Jersey Shore", so while they may squeak by a few more weeks, there is no way they crack top 5. I hope you enjoy your 15 minutes "fitness".
Misa and Maiya
These two are already eliminated, which is good for them. Honestly this may have been the worst team I've seen in awhile, although the team that forgot their passports last year was up there. While they may be smart people, they clearly got way too flustered by the race and made a ton of mistakes. Despite about 3 mistakes I counted, they still had a chance to move on, until their 4th mistake. They ran into the courtyard with Phil (who was pointing at them), looked around and left. This allowed the Jersey Boys to slip in and seal their exit.
My top 5: (in no order)
- Brendan and Rachel
- Dave and Rachel
- Elliot and Andrew
- Nary and Jamie
- Vanessa and Ralph
Predicting a winner is very tough because all it takes is one dumb move to eliminate yourself from the race at the end, but the first weeks you can make mistakes and still have a chance to advance (as Misa and Maiya proved). The teams listed above clearly have what it takes to overcome mistakes and survive the first few weeks.

Kinetics of electron recombination of dye-senitized solar cells based on TiO2 nanorod arrays sensitized with different dyes
Wang, Hongxia, Liu, Meinan, Zhang, Min, Wang, Peng, Miura, Hidetoshi, Yan, Cheng, & Bell, John M. (2011) Kinetics of electron recombination of dye-senitized solar cells based on TiO2 nanorod arrays sensitized with different dyes. Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 13(38), pp. 17359-17366.
Accepted Version
(PDF 619kB)
The performance and electron recombination kinetics of dye-sensitized solar cells based on TiO2 films consisting of one-dimensional nanorod arrays (NR-DSSCs) which are sensitized with dye N719, C218 and D205 respectively have been studied. It has been found that the best efficiency is obtained with the dye C218 based NR-DSSCs, benefiting from a 40% higher short-circuit photocurrent density. However, the open circuit photovoltage of the N719 based cell is 40 mV higher than that of the organic dye C218 and D205 based devices. Investigation of the electron recombination kinetics of the NR-DSSCs has revealed that the effective electron lifetime, τn, of the N719 based NR-DSSC is the lowest whereas the τn of the C218 based NR-DSSC is the highest among the three dyes. The higher Voc with the N719 based NR-DSSC is originated from the more negative energy level of the conduction band of the TiO2 film. In addition, in comparison to the DSSCs with conventional nanocrystalline particles based TiO2 films, the NR-DSSCs have shown over two orders of magnitude higher τn when employing N719 as the sensitizer. Nevertheless, the τn of the DSSCs with the C218 based nanorod arrays is only ten-fold higher than the that of the nanoparticles based devices. The remarkable characteristic of the dye C218 in suppressing the electron recombination of DSSCs is discussed.

Pavement Management Systems Peer Exchange Program
On a grand scale, the agencies report that their pavement management programs have enabled the agencies to use money more effectively, which has resulted in the best possible conditions for the funding levels available.
- The information helped prepare the participating agencies for the implementation of their new software. The participants felt that they had a better handle on the types of issues they would be addressing and the factors that would most contribute to the success of the project. Prior to the Peer Exchange, some participants felt that they "didn't really know what they needed to know." After the Peer Exchange, they had a much better feel for the implementation process and how the system might be used within their agency.
- By bringing together agency representatives from different divisions, the Peer Exchange was able to touch on the use of pavement management to address the varied needs from throughout the organization. Participants left the meetings with a greater appreciation for the expansive knowledge that is incorporated into a successful pavement management system.
- The Peer Exchange demonstrated that there is no single approach to a successful system. However, MnDOT and UDOT demonstrated their ability to blend reliable data for use in their analysis and to foster two-way communication of the results with decision makers. The Pavement Management Engineers from these agencies "owned" the process and were critical to achieving good results.
- The opportunity to talk with users of the various systems was identified as being particularly useful to learn more about how the systems are actually being used.
- It is important to see the degree to which pavement management is integrated into the decision processes in each of the host agencies. This helped emphasize the importance of the integrated approach to a successful implementation and the importance of having credible data.
- The Peer Exchange provided an opportunity for the participants to identify possible pitfalls to a successful implementation to better identify what to watch for.
Next Steps
The two February 2008 Pavement Management Peer Exchange sessions were the first Peer Exchange meetings organized by FHWA on this subject. In addition to providing benefits to the participants in the meetings, the FHWA supported the development of this report to provide a mechanism for transferring the technology to other pavement management practitioners. The remaining sections of the report outline specific plans for the FHWA's technology transfer efforts and the planned implementation activities within each of the participating agencies.
The FHWA currently plans to conduct additional Peer Exchanges on the subject of pavement management in the future. The focus of future Peer Exchanges and the exact format that will be used have not yet been determined. In addition, the FHWA will use the contents of this report to help promote the effective use of pavement management tools. The report itself will be distributed to all state Pavement Management Engineers and to the FHWA Division Offices. FHWA also envisions using excerpts from the report in magazine articles (such as Focus) and presenting some of the information in a web conference.
Participating Agencies
The New York DOT and Caltrans are both embarking on their plans to enhance their existing pavement management capabilities as described in the following sections.
New York DOT
NYSDOT prepared a draft work plan in May 2007 that outlines their plans for enhancing their existing pavement management system. The plan provides a background summary and the steps that will be taken to obtain new software.
Purpose -
Continue the development of the Department's Pavement Management System by modernizing the existing modeling software, which is now obsolete, with a commercial system having more robust modeling capabilities and analysis tools needed to economically manage the state's pavement network.
Background -
PNAM (Pavement Needs Assessment Model) is the Department's current software program used to forecast pavement conditions and funding needs. The system was developed in-house in the 1980s and has performed well over the years for its intended purpose. However, the program has been tweaked and stretched to its practical limit in an attempt to keep up with the growing sophistication of pavement management technology. The modeling and analysis demands of the maturing pavement management process have now exceeded PNAM's capability.

Action Steps -
Action / Deliverable Start Finish
* Schedule from this point forward is controlled by funding approval.
Since May 2007, Caltrans has been investigating solutions that will result in better tools for managing its pavement network. An agreement has been reached between Caltrans and a South African company to implement a customized version of the Deighton & Associates dTIMS software that will be modified slightly for Caltans' use. With that decision made, its pavement management personnel are moving forward with data collection contracts for both a structural evaluation, which will include Ground Penetrating Radar and Coring, and a condition assessment. The Department's efforts will be supported by faculty at the University of California at Berkeley.
The most immediate activity for the State Pavement Program Manager is to secure the funding needed to support these pavement management activities. Caltrans hopes to have funding secured within calendar year 2008 and plans to have the implementation completed by the end of calendar year 2010.

All eyes turn to Friday's jobs report
Reports on private-sector job growth, jobless claims and layoffs Thursday depicted a still-tepid labor market and raised concerns that the government's employment survey Friday could show a third month of sluggish payroll gains.
Also, the Commerce Department on Thursday revised its estimate of first-quarter economic growth to 1.9% from 2.2%, as investment by budget-strapped state and local governments fell more sharply than believed, and consumer spending was slightly less robust.
Payroll processor ADP said private employers added 133,000 jobs in May, with large businesses and manufacturers posting weak job growth for a second month. A consensus forecast of economists predicted employment gains of 150,000. Private-sector job growth in April was revised to 113,000 from 119,000.
Small businesses, with fewer than 50 workers, added 67,000 jobs, and midsize firms — with 50 to 499 employees — added 57,000. But employment at large companies, with 500 or more workers, increased by just 9,000.
The ADP survey often differs substantially from the Labor Department's official report, though it generally reflects broad trends in the job market, and it accurately foreshadowed April's weak tally by Labor.
Economists' consensus forecast estimates that Labor will report that non-farm employers, including private and government, added 150,000 jobs in May, up from an average 134,000 the previous two months but below the monthly pace of 252,000 additions from December through February.
Some economists have attributed the slowdown to a temporary snap-back effect after warm winter weather pulled forward construction and manufacturing activity to January and February.
Diane Swonk, chief economist of Mesirow Financial, agrees that the unusual weather had some residual impact in May. But she says much of the weakness is likely due to slower economic growth in Europe and China that's dampening U.S. exports and creating uncertainty among U.S. corporations.
Commerce's downward revision to first-quarter economic growth undermines the idea that most state and local government cuts are done, Swonk says. The slowdown is "more than just give-back from unusual weather trends," she says.
Swonk says the ADP survey prompted her to revise her estimate of job gains in Labor's survey to 125,000 from 150,000. She says she expects the economy to continue to grow but at a modest pace this year.
RDQ Economics says job growth this year is still noticeably stronger than in the second half of 2011. It expects Labor to report private-sector gains of 175,000.
Separately, the number of Americans applying for unemployment insurance for the first time unexpectedly rose by 10,000 last week, to 383,000, Labor said. The four-week moving average increased by 3,750 to 370,750, the highest since January.
Employers last month announced plans to lay off nearly 62,000 workers, up from 40,500 in April and the most since September, says outplacement firm Challenger Gray & Christmas. However, 27,000 of those cuts were announced by one company, Hewlett-Packard.

The Wampanoag, a North American Indian tribe of Eastern Algonquian linguistic stock, traditionally inhabited the territory around Narragansett Bay in present-day Rhode Island and Massachusetts. A horticultural people, during the early 17th century they occupied approximately 30 villages in this region and controlled the lands east of the bay, including the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. Their leader Massasoit welcomed the English during this period and remained at peace with them until his death (1661). By that time the Wampanoag had suffered grave privations, including epidemics that took most of the population.
When Massasoit's son Metacomet succeeded his father, however, Wampanoag policy took a drastic turn. Metacomet organized a major intertribal coalition and a war, lasting from 1675 to 1676, the purpose of which was to kill or drive away the English settlers. Metacomet was killed, and the Wampanoag were nearly exterminated; most of the survivors took refuge among other tribes. One village (1995 est. pop., 865), on Martha's Vineyard, has retained its identity to the present day. The Mashpee Wampanoag are a state-recognized tribe with headquarters in the town of Mashpee on Cape Cod. At the 1990 U.S. census, the Wampanoag numbered 2,175.

Fan Records U2 Song From Outside Bono's House
This year was supposed to be huge for U2 with the release of their new album. They released the single "Invisible", performed on the first episode of Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show" and shot a Superbowl commercial as well as a music video.
Now the album has been delayed and no one knows for sure whether to expect it by the end of this year or sometime next year. If you really can't wait, it turns out Bono might give you a preview if you sit outside of his home in France.
Someone recently recorded a song, possibly called, "Song For Someone", outside his beach house and uploaded it online. This isn't the first time this has happened: it happened once in 2006 and again in 2008.
You can check out the audio in the video below:

Minthe in Greek Mythology
Home | Greek Gods | Free Spirits | Page 2 | Nymphs | Notables | Minthe
Minthe was a nymph in Greek mythology. Some ancient sources specifically classify Minthe as a Naiad or water nymph. She was associated in legend with the plant that is said to be named in honor of her myth, and this is the familiar aromatic mint plant. So let us now learn more about how the nymph Minthe was transformed into mint.
According to one popular version of the story, Minthe was a beautiful water nymph who attracted the attention of Hades. Hades was the stern ruler of the Greek Underworld and the husband of the goddess Persephone. It seems, however, that even Persephone's obvious charms could not keep the attention of Hades at all times. The Underworld god therefore engaged in an illicit – but not terribly well hidden – affair with the Naiad Minthe.
Naturally, Persephone found out about the relationship between her husband and the water nymph. And in a scenario that is all too familiar in Greek myth, the spurned wife took revenge on her husband's mistress. Minthe became the unfortunate object of Persephone's wrath. The goddess of the Underworld began to step on Minthe, beating the poor Naiad with furious kicks. Minthe however was transformed into the mint plant, and with each tread of Persephone's foot, this plant released a delightful scent. This is the myth of how the aromatic mint plant received its name.
It is worth mentioning that there is an intriguing reference to the transformation of Minthe in the Metamorphoses of Ovid (Book X, line 729 ff.).
It is worth noting that the name Minthe is occasionally spelled Menthe by some writers.

New Unemployment Regulations Delayed
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSPD) -- The enforcement of new regulations that require Ohioans to maintain an updated account on the state's jobs website to get unemployment benefits has been delayed.
Ohio Dept of Job and Family Services spokesperson Angela Terez says they got more than 20 phone calls from people who were unable to read their temporary password which include both capital and lowercase letters.
"For instance they were having difficulty distinguishing between the O's and the zeros or the (capital) I's and the (lowercase) L's," Terez said.
The issue was apparently caused by the font that was used.
When people called customer service for help reps discovered they couldn't access the passwords to help.
"We've fixed the font issue, we've fixed the rep access issue and we're just doing some further streamlining," she said.
At no time was there a technical issue with the actual website, according to Terez.
When someone applies for unemployment in Ohio, they are given an account on OhioMeansJobs.com and a basic resume is posted.
"They have to update this resume by their 8th week of receiving benefits," Terez said. That 8th week is hitting now, but given the issues she says they didn't want to penalize people who were trying to do the right things.
As the weeks go on, users are then required to complete other tasks to help with their search for employment.
