Learn about the world along the path of your flight, hike, or road trip with GPS tracking. Offline geologic maps and interactive points of interest reveal the locations of fossils and georeferenced Wikipedia articles visible from your airplane window seat, vehicle, or hiking trail vista.
Flyover Country is a National Science Foundation funded offline mobile app for geoscience outreach and data discovery. The app exposes interactive geologic maps from Macrostrat.org, fossil localities from Neotomadb.org and Paleobiodb.org, core sample localities from LacCore.org, Wikipedia articles, offline base maps, and the user's current GPS determined location, altitude, speed, and heading. The app analyzes a given flight path and caches relevant map data and points of interest (POI), and displays these data during the flight, without in flight wifi. By downloading only the data relevant to a particular flightpath, cache sizes remain reasonable, allowing for a robust experience without an internet connection.
Flyover Country's usefulness is not limited to airplanes. It is also ideal for road trips, hiking, and other outdoor activities such as field trips and geology field work.

LOS ANGELES, CA — It has been over 20 years since a major Hollywood studio made a live-action Bible movie for the big screen. The last such movie was King David, with Richard Gere, and it was regarded by many as a disappointment — both for the revisions it made to the biblical story, and because it flopped big time at the box office.
The few Bible-related films that have come out since then have tended to be either self-financed independent movies (e.g., Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ) or low-budget art-house flicks (e.g., Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, which was based not on the Bible, per se, but on a controversial novel).
But that will all change December 1, when New Line Cinema — the studio behind the Lord of the Rings trilogy — releases The Nativity Story, a dramatization of the events leading up to the birth of Jesus. The virgin birth, the miraculous conception of John the Baptist, the visitations of the archangel Gabriel, the shepherds, the Magi — it's all here, more or less as it appears in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.

The formation of membrane heterogeneities, e.g., lipid domains and pores, leads to a redistribution of donor (D) and acceptor (A) molecules according to their affinity to the structures formed and the remaining bilayer. If such changes sufficiently influence the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) efficiency, these changes can be further analyzed in terms of nanodomain/pore size. This paper is a continuation of previous work on this theme. In particular, it is demonstrated how FRET experiments should be planned and how data should be analyzed in order to achieve the best possible resolution. The limiting resolution of domains and pores are discussed simultaneously, in order to enable direct comparison. It appears that choice of suitable donor/acceptor pairs is the most crucial step in the design of experiments. For instance, it is recommended to use DA pairs, which exhibit an increased affinity to pores (
Liquid ordered Lo domains (referred to as rafts) [
Model lipid bilayers represent a very simplified system, as compared to the plasma membrane of a cell. First of all, the plasma membrane has a more complex composition. This will influence the nature of the phase boundaries and probably decrease the line tension, which in turn may lead to the formation of smaller domains. Actually, domains of micrometer size were hitherto never observed in cell membranes. Also, cell membranes exhibit an asymmetric composition and are not studied under equilibrium conditions, as is the case with model lipid bilayers. Therefore, the nature of the domains in the model bilayer and in the plasma membrane is probably different.
Since the size of Lo domains is beyond the optical resolution of a conventional microscope [
In a typical qualitative FRET experiment, the FRET efficiencies of a DA pair localized in a bilayer, which does and does not contain membrane heterogeneities, are compared. This should preferentially be done by comparison of time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) decays for the two situations, but measurement of steady-state (SS) intensities is in principle possible as well. In order to determine domain/pore sizes, the measured TRF-decays must be fitted by an appropriate model, where the domain/pore radius is one of the optimized parameters. In this paper, it is assumed that the domains/pores have circular/cylindrical shape, respectively.
The present paper is a continuation of our previous work [
It can be expected that the formation of domains/pores in the lipid bilayer disturbs a homogenous distribution of fluorescent probes. Under certain conditions, which are discussed throughout this paper, the appearance of these heterogeneities can be detected by Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET). This technique enables not only detection of membrane heterogeneities, but also a size determination of these structures. Sensitivity of FRET to the formation of membrane heterogeneities depends on how donors and acceptors are distributed between these structures and the remaining bilayer. In practice four situations are of interest: (1) The donors and acceptors are excluded from the domains/pores; (2) The donors and acceptors are preferentially localized within the domains/pores; (3) The donors prefer a localization within the domains/pores, while the acceptors are localized in the remaining bilayer; and (4) Acceptors are localized in the domains/pores and donors are excluded from them. Because the last situation gives similar FRET efficiencies as the third situation, it will not be discussed here. In general, the first two cases lead to increased FRET efficiencies (as compared to the uniform probe distribution),
The affinity of probes to the domains/pores and the remaining bilayer is characterized by the partition coefficient
Situation 1: This situation is relevant when donors and acceptors are excluded from the domains/pores. Concerning the estimation of domain-sizes, this experimental setup appears attractive, because most probes exhibit an increased affinity to the liquid-disordered non-raft phase. However, as is illustrated in
Regarding pores and their structure, two main types exist [
In the Situation 2 donors and acceptors have an increased affinity to domains/pores. This experimental setup leads to a closer contact between donors and acceptors, even for small domains/pores covering a low area fraction. Therefore, this is better suited for the determination of domain/pore sizes that are comparable to
Attachment of a dye to a peptide/protein that builds the pore appears as the best solution for preferential labeling of the pores. Theoretically, if all peptide/protein molecules formed the pores, 100% labeling efficiency of pores could be achieved. Such extreme cases have been simulated as well and are displayed in
In the Situation 3, it is assumed that donors have increased affinity to the domains/pores, whereas acceptors are excluded from them. This situation appears as a reasonable compromise between the availability of fluorescent probes and the resolution of FRET. Recently, we have shown [
The fourth and last situation would arise when at least a member of the DA pair had the same affinity to the domains/rafts and the remaining bilayer surface. In the extreme case, probes are uniformly distributed as in the homogenous bilayer (
In our approach, the estimation of domain sizes is based on fitting the computed decay curve provided by MC simulations to the experimental one. Shape of the decay depends on the following parameters, which can be kept either free or fixed during the optimization routine: the donor fluorescence decay [
Energy transfer/migration within an ensemble of fluorescent molecules is usually described within a two-particle approximation [
where ∑
In a lipid bilayer the excitation energy can be transferred either to a molecule localized in the same or the opposite leaflet (
when FRET/DDEM occurs in the same plane the distribution function
Similarly, one can obtain the analytical expression for the survival probability
In this expression,
Donors solubilized in a lipid bilayer that contains domains/pores are surrounded by unique density distributions of acceptors. This complicates the derivation of an analytical model that would account for FRET/DDEM processes. Despite this complication, several approaches relying on utilization of analytical equations have been developed and were described in a recent review [
A typical run of the MC simulation will be exemplified on the phase separated bilayer containing liquid-ordered domains. Small modifications are necessary in applications to a bilayer containing cylindrical pores. The following steps are usually carried out: (i) A certain random number of circular domains with uniform size is generated. The mean number of domains corresponds to the predefined area fraction the domains occupy in the bilayer; (ii) the donors and acceptors are generated to exhibit a certain probability of localization within and outside the domains. The distribution is described by an equilibrium constant
This paper demonstrates that the liquid-ordered nanodomains and pores with radii of a few nanometers and occupying several percent of the entire lipid bilayer can be determined by Förster resonance energy transfer combined with Monte Carlo simulations. The FRET resolution mainly depends on the affinity of donors and acceptors to the domains/pores. Therefore, to reach the best possible resolution choice of a suitable donor/acceptor pair is a most crucial step in the design of an experiment. When both donors and acceptors are preferentially localized in the pores appears to be the best experimental setup for the determination of pore sizes. This could for example be achieved by attaching a probe to a peptide/protein molecule, which usually forms the pore. The same experimental setup would also be convenient for the determination of domain sizes. But because probes with high affinity to the liquid-ordered domains are still missing, it is recommended to use a DA pair with high affinity to different phases instead. For instance, a pair with realistic partition coefficients of

Tenn. cities get grant for farm safety training
Two agencies were awarded $2,500 to train officials for farm safety and agricultural emergencies
The Voice
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A pair of unexpected grants to the Memphis Fire Department and Richmond-Lenox EMS will be utilized in part to train officials in farm safety and agricultural emergencies.
The agencies were both awarded $2,500 grants by the Monsanto Corp. through their annual program, America's Farmers Grow Communities. In a dual presentation at the Richmond-Lenox EMS offices on March 7, officials for both departments accepted the grants from Mosanto Corp. representatives.
During the recent presentation, Jeff White, chief of EMS for the Richmond and Lenox Townships Ambulance Authority, thanked Monsanto Corp. for their generous contribution, and Gordon and Phyllis Fuerstenau, of Richmond Township, for nominating the EMS for the funding.

Glendale Fire
Photo Credit: Bill Carroll
GLENDALE (CNS) - A 150-acre brush fire above Brand Park in Glendale was about 30 percent contained today, authorities said.
No structures were threatened by the fire, which was reported at 12:27 p.m. Sunday behind the Brand Library in the 1600 block of West Mountain Street, said Glendale spokesman Dan Bell. No evacuations were ordered, he said.
What started off as a 10-acre brusher grew to 50 acres by 5 p.m. Sunday and spread to 150 acres a couple of hours later, Bell said. It was unclear how long it would take to fully extinguish the flames.
The fire burned away from structures and into ``very steep, treacherous canyons,'' Bell said. Five helicopters attacked the flames during daylight hours Sunday but could not work overnight because of wires in the area, Bell said.
Overnight, firefighters using bulldozers worked to cut containment lines around the blaze.
At least 180 firefighters were deployed to battle the flames, including personnel from Glendale, Burbank, Pasadena, Los Angeles City, Los Angeles County and U.S. Forest Service ``Hot Shots.''
Minor injuries were reported, including a firefighter who suffered a scrape and another who suffered a cut when they were hit by a falling rock, he said. Another twisted an ankle.
Five hikers were in the area when the fire started and two walked out of the brush on their own, Bell said. Three others were airlifted around the smoke and flames.
The cause of the blaze was under investigation. ``We know where it started but no cause has been determined,'' Bell said.

Vince Butera AIFD, PFCI was honored to be the featured speaker for the Halifax PA Garden Club for their 50th anniversary celebration on June 9, 2009.
"Edutaining" is what I love to do...fusing together educating and entertaining my audience. So, in the one hour time span I chose to create six different fresh floral designs right before their eyes. Starting out with a vivid colored pave piece of sunflowers, roses, hydrangea, thistle, carnations, and more. After completing the fresh design and explaining it's many uses, I changed it quickly into a great party design by adding a structure of river cane and angel wire.
Another design was an upright linear piece featuring pincushion protea, liatris and orchids.
Next came a low/linear with a strong focal point of pink protea & green hypericum with extensions of liatris, eucaluptus, pink waxflower and foliage.
The upright rectangular design captured their attention... a pink glass square vase was filled with foam, then long equesitum was added to define the form, then accented with liatris and bright pink Gerber Daisies along with purple Trechelium as a pillowing base. After finishing the piece, drama was added with the bouncy look of yellow crespedia along with green lilly grass piercing the equesitum. A very fun & youthful look!
As a finale, Vince created a "tension" design in an oval metal vessel. Aspidistra was laid across the foam and accented with curls of the leaf to add strong movement from one side to the other. Then a stem of cymbidium spray was inserted, arching out of the focal area where three red roses were sunk. Dark purple dendrobium sprays bounced off one side while lily grass danced off the other. The last insertion was three blades of lily grass with a single dendrobium bloom glued toward the end.
During design shows such as this, Vince not only designs, but also discusses the product, explains the elements and principles of floral design in use, and CERTAINLY has fun with the crowd.

Vince Butera AIFD, PFCI
There are always certain
weekends in a florist's year that are busier than usual. As a business that
specializes in wedding floral décor, we often wonder what causes certain
weekends to be very quiet (maybe just one event) and others that brides keep
calling about. While this time of year it is quite normal to do 2 or 3 weddings
in a weekend, this particular weekend we had 3 scheduled on Friday and 2 for
Here is a recap of three
of the five:
The coolers were filled
with a wide assortment of beautiful flowers...each bride has her own style, and
we at Butera The Florist do our best to fulfill her dreams!
Maggie was one of the
Friday weddings...she wanted a tropical island feel.
We chose the combination
of Hot pink, vivid orange and citrus green colors, and worked with roses,
Mokara orchids, jade trechelium and green hypericum in the handtied bouquets.
The pergola at Heritage
was decorated with the same vivid colors, in addition to the billowing tulle.
A beautiful setting that
was flavored with the steel drum playing the ceremony music!
Moving into the pavilion,
the guest tables were alive with vivid orbs and orchids...some low, some
elevated, some hot pink with orange, some orange with citrus green...FUN, FUN,
Saturday started at St. Patrick's Church for Becky's wedding.
The classic elegant altar
was accented by two flowing designs.
Becky chose a full,
flowing cascade Bridal Bouquet of all white featuring roses, orchids and
Her attendants carried
handtied bouquets of three varieties of roses; esperance, cool water &
lovely Lydia,
with a few pink cymbidium orchids.
The same color feel was
designed into the very classic table centerpieces for her reception at the
Country Club of York.
The same three varieties
of roses were used, along with red grapes and ivy. A trio of candles finished
off the classic décor. A matching waterfall design was placed on the sweetheart
For our fifth and final
wedding event of the weekend, Katie wanted bright and happy...and what better
than "sunrich gold" sunflowers, skyline roses, yellow mini calla, accented
with green hypericum and jade
Her outdoor ceremony at
Box Hill was punctuated with a picture-perfect day (sorry, I don't get the
credit for that!)

wedding month at Butera The Florist...keep checking in for more photos and

In addition to running daily operations and a very full 2008 wedding season at
Butera The Florist in York,

magazines to discuss creative uses of flowers to consumers and professional
The August issue of Floral Management magazine, a
publication of Society of American Florists featured designs created by Vince
in it's monthly column "Business of Design". The article featured carnations... a
flower that has been snubbed by many, but has many wonderful uses, beautiful
colors, is long lasting, and VERY cost effective! Vince is a firm believer that
any flower can be used creatively...anyone can take a unique bloom and make an
impressive arrangement, a floral artist can take an ordinary bloom and create
an extraordinary design.

Our family has been blessed
to spend part of our summers on an idyllic island in Downeast Maine. Most people don't get it, but going
to the same place every year gives you a sense of belonging, stability, a
constant in an ever-changing world. You count life a little more long term when
every summer for the past thirty-some you arrive to a place that little has
changed...it actually is a bit too much like "Brigadoon" sometimes. But the
beauty of God's creation totally envelopes you constantly
So usually during the few
weeks the family is living on Swan's Island, I return to York, PA to work
sometime...a busy wedding weekend or the like ( like this past weekend where we
produced five gorgeous wedding events...see our next blog!)
The fun thing for me is to
return to the island with a few boxes of fresh flowers. Some to make simple
bouquets to give as gifts to friends, others to grace our home, and still more
to "get creative" in an outdoor studio with the coastal breeze blowing...no phones,
no interruptions, no $30 orders to be finished in 10 minutes while the driver
waits...just flowers, time, and nature as inspiration.
This time I returned to
Swan's Island in time for the annual Sweet
Chariot Music Festival...a coraborative effort of some very fine folk musicians
from around the country. The first night is a dress rehearsal performance of
sorts for the island people done in a more informal manner. The show producer
wanted a "campfire" to sing around...but this venue is a huge wooden structure, so
no fire! I looked down and saw in my buckets a campfire with sunflowers, red
safari sunset, orange mokara orchids, red hypericum, and more. So, what floral
designer could resist?!
I took an antique brass pot
and surrounded it with birch logs and charred logs to create the base, then had
an explosion of the fresh flowers to create the flames.
Extending out of the main
design was long birch branches that we
pierced sunflower petals to imitate sparks.
With some nice lighting, the
musicians looked like they had a warm glow shining on them.
Even on vacation, a floral
designer can work with flowers, and still be on vacation!
The wedding season has been bustling here at Butera The Florist. We have been occupied so much with them every week that this is in fact the first time I have had a chance to post photos and commentary. Here are some of the highlights from the past two weeks...
It seems that daisies are the hot flower during June here in York. Michelle and Mike chose the pure white garden daisy as their signature flower for their June 14th wedding.
The bridal bouquet was a handtied design of solely daisies with just a hint of buplerum, while the attendants bouquets also featured a mix of white daisies with bright yellow Gerbera.
Daisies were added to the church pew bows of tulle and filled the altar table area
The quests were greeted at their reception tables with glass orb bowls filled the brides favorite flower! It was a perfect accent to the reception held in a tent on a summer afternoon at the Bride's family home.
Later that same day we were showing Holly her bridal bouquet of daisies...this time it was deep burgundy Gerbera with beautiful Chablis roses, deep red alsortemeria and jade hypericum.
Holly's attendants carried coordinated bouquets of light peach Gerbera, dark red alstroemeria and jade hypericum.
Allison's June 14 wedding featured the hot vibrant colors. We paired Starfighter lilies, purple lisianthus, Hot Princess roses and of course hot pink Gerbera with the hit of bright jade button mums! It was a vivid punch of color against the attendants black a-line gowns.
Her reception at the Stone Mill Inn featured a beautiful cake adorned by petals of Hot Princess roses.
Of the four wedding events on June 21, one bride chose an abundance of the popular daisies!
Jennifer chose a combination of crisp white daisies and pink Sorbonne lilies with solidago and waxflower as her first day of summer bridal bouquet, whlie her attendants carried complimentary bouquets of white daisies with pink alstroemeria, solidago and waxflower...a happy summery look against the aqua blue gowns.
Cinda chose the soft romantic look with creamy Vandella roses paired with lavander blooms of Phlox, Freesia and Campanula in a handtied design.
Cinda's attendants carried the lavander colors of freesia, campanula and Cool Water roses along with lanander Daisies.
Ashlin wanted her first day of Summer wedding to be bright and happy...the weather cooperated and so did her flowers!
Her bridal bouquet was a tight mound of cornflower blue hydrangea with pale yellow roses and yellow freesia.
As always, every bride has a dream for the look and feel of her wedding... our priority is to translate that into flowers and help to make her dream come true! It is always a privledge to be a part of so many weddings in York.
Best wishes to all our bridal clients!
The coolers are fully stocked with some of the brightest and freshest flowers available. Of course Butera The Florist has the classic mixes if that is what mom prefers... baskest or vases filled with an assortment of bright blooms like Daisies, Carnation, Roses, Alstroemeria, and many more...
BUT... why not consider something different? Something that we at Butera The Florist is widly known for! Fresh Floral Designs with style!
We can create something classic but with flair, such as the French Country Hedge with larkspur, roses, campanula, sunflower & more.
Looking for something simple but chic? Try our Simply Orchid design...a glass vessel with swirling grasses and stems of long lasting Cymbidium, Dendrobium or Mokara orchids.
We as always have a variety of organically designed arrangements such as our glass orb filled with swirling grasses and willow inside the vessel and fragrant blooms mounded on top. A green alternative to foam based floral designs.
Loose flowers abound in our Mediterranian flower market...Try Antique Hydrangea, Godetia, Conca Dor & Sarbonne lilies, PA grown Gerbera, and so many more you must see them!
If you're from out of the York area and want to send your mother some of our distinctive flowers, call us toll free; 888.741.4226.

'Any colour you like, as long as it's black,' said the revolutionary genius, Henry Ford, and smugly ushered in the twin worlds of mass production and mass culture. The impression of freedom and choice was everything to the mass economy of the West. That's the price of affordability. Sameness. The Orwellian West was as committed to sameness as the East. A thing, or a person, had to more or less the same in order to belong. Today, diversity rather than sameness has become the key. Communities of interest, even individuals, grow ever more finely differentiated from each other. So we have niche markets instead of mass markets, narrowcasting instead of broadcasting, multimedia instead of the old mass media, and we search for points of common ground at which we communicate our unique and different understandings of the world. Publishing has not kept up with the new times. Publishing factories measure success by number of sales-per-title, rely on cumbersome warehouses, service capital-heavy bookshops, are fuelled by mass-production successes plus below-cost junking of work deemed only half-successful or a failure. In short, contemporary mass-publishers show an aversion to anything less than the mass-marketable. The Internet and new variable print technologies make this kind of business, this kind of cultural focus, obsolescent. The world has changed in ways which mean that mass-production publishing is more likely to be mindlessly predictable than a place of cultural vibrancy and innovation.

Ripon needs more retail to increase visitors; Costa coffee will take a valuable retail space without attracting footfall to the city. Ripon has an excellent array of independent cafes and coffee shops that buy supplies locally. They support local cottage industry keeping money in the local economy.

text: Home > Projects > Disaster Resistant Building > Letters Disaster Resistant Building Letters What Are Better in Wind Zones, Attached or Detached Garages? Login or Register to download the PDF version of this article. (191.52 kB) I found the article on tornado damage fascinating ("In the Path of the Storm," 9/11). Among other things, I was amazed to see that Alabama apparently has a lax building code when it comes to mechanical fasteners. I am curious what the author thinks about attached garages, since he pointed out several houses where the damage seemed to be blamed on the large garage door. Does he think garages should not be attached? Or, if they are, what should be done to prevent such damage to the adjoining house? Rider Sporn Blue Mounds, Wis.Author Bryan Readling responds: Garages are indeed vulnerable to high-wind forces because they have large openings with weak coverings - typically overhead doors - and are often built with less structural redundancy. However, in my view, the decision whether to build a garage attached or detached should not be governed by wind design, since... Login or Register to continue reading

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery requires additional years of hospital-based surgical and anesthesia training after graduation from dental school. As Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, our doctors manage a wide variety of problems relating to the mouth, teeth and facial regions. They practice a full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with expertise ranging from dental implant surgery and wisdom tooth removal to corrective jaw surgery. This also includes techniques designed to rebuild bone structure with minimal surgical intervention and optimal patient comfort.
Our staff is trained in assisting with Intravenous (IV) Sedation or outpatient General Anesthesia in our state-of-the-art office setting. Patients are continuously monitored during and after surgery.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. Impacted teeth can take many positions in the bone as they attempt to find a pathway that will allow them to successfully erupt.
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. Implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. These metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

Isabel Gross (Fall 2015, Haverford College) MUSEUM OF MEMORY AND HUMAN RIGHTS
The Museum of Memory and Human Rights has multiple functions: to preserve and examine the history of the Chilean dictatorship, to educate the public about human rights, to provide a space for victims and relatives to share their stories. Often, these functions intertwine; thus my internship, while focused on research, will also contribute to education efforts, as the report will be publicly available via the Museum's digital library.
During my internship at the Museum of Memory and Human Rights, I investigated the participation of women's groups in the resistance to the dictatorship. I focused particularly on those groups from the Chilean regions, rather than Santiago, as these have not been studied as thoroughly as the groups from the capital. The culmination of the project was a fifty-page report detailing my analysis of ten different organizations.
The majority of my research consisted of reviewing primary source material—mainly audiovisual interviews, but also public speeches, open letters, pamphlets, founding documents, written testimonies, letters, photos, and telegrams. Moreover, toward the end of the internship, I participated in an interview with a community organizer of indigenous and rural women. Drawing from all of these sources, I formulated an analysis of the structure, rhetoric, and specific actions of each group and generated comparisons between the different organizations.
While I passed much of my time doing research in the library, I was also invited to attend my colleagues' lectures and presentations, and to participate in the discussions that followed.
Sophie Kapica (Fall 2015, Middlebury College) COLAB - PONTIFICIA UNIVERSIDAD CATOLICA
The CoLab is an organization which serves as an incubator for social innovation in Chile. It located in the Pontifical Catholic University's Center for Innovation, a very high-tech and modern building. In the CoLab, everyone sits around a communal table in an open office space; there are no walls. It was very different from any work environment I had previously experienced. Through this internship, I learned a lot about the social innovation space, specifically in Chile. I was able to speak and work with innovators in the field, including the CoLab's leader Sebastian Gatica. The work is fast-paced, and there is never a dull moment.
Specifically, my work entailed helping to create a prototype for a Latin American social innovation platform. I worked with a Chilean intern as well as the CoLab's director, Sebastian. The work was very open-ended, and the other intern, Cris, and I often had to think outside the box to figure out the best way to complete the project. Additionally, I worked to create evaluation metrics for social businesses, which had been part of the CoLab's social entrepreneurship competition, Alto Impacto. Lastly, I helped translate the CoLab's website from Spanish into English.
Overall, the best aspect of my internship was being able to get to know a group of really smart, caring, and welcoming Chileans. I truly enjoyed getting to spend time with the CoLab team and getting to know them better. While many of my classes had other international students, which made it hard to get to know Chileans, my internship was an amazing opportunity to make friends with other Chileans.
Erica Van Sciver (Fall, 2013, Bates College) EXPLORA
EXPLORA is a non-profit organization devoted to promoting a culture of science and technology across Chile, especially among students. Their goal is to provide fun, educational opportunities outside of the classroom by organizing events such as debates, museum expositions, and science fairs. My responsibilities were varied, depending on the day and the project I was working on. Day-to-day I would assist with the coordination of any events-whether it meant working as a monitor for a neuroscience exhibition at La Moneda or calling schools across Santiago to invite them to participate in a debate. I also had larger projects that I worked on over a longer period of time. I helped organize a city-wide science fair for high school students, primarily by coordinating the review of their projects by professionals in science and tech-oriented fields. I also pursued my own independent project of organizing an excursion for a group of Santiago high school students. Working in conjunction with the Valparaíso-based (and Middlebury-founded) organization Manos Verdes, we brought a group of 45 students to Quintay to learn about the science of coastal ecosystems. This internship provided me with wonderful opportunities to work both in and outside of the office setting. I would recommend an internship with EXPLORA particularly for people who are interested in education and/or STEM-related fields.
Micaela Palermo (Spring 2013, Wellesley College), Crea+
During my semester in Santiago, I volunteered for an organization called Crea+ dedicated to the growth and development of the mathematics programs in the public schools. They send a professional math tutor into the classrooms during the week to help the teachers improve their techniques and then hold Saturday sessions for the students. I was a co-teacher in the first grade classroom on Saturday mornings where we worked on things such as counting, simple adding and pattern recognition to name a few. In the afternoon most of the volunteer taught a workshop of their choosing to the kids ranging from kung-fu to English. I taught a creative writing course with mostly fifth graders in the class. It was such a rewarding part of my abroad experience. I loved the people that I worked with, and seeing the growth in my student's learning over the course of the semester was truly amazing. I would recommend this volunteer option to anyone who enjoys working with kids or has an interest in someday becoming a teacher!
Arantxa Gallegos (Spring 2013, Wellesley College), Crea+
Crea+ is a non-profit organization dedicated to the academic improvement in mathematics and development of special skills through the implementation of school based programs for children in first grade to eighth grade. Crea+ hosts two programs (Math Program and Skills Workshops) every Saturday in select schools that are located in social-at-risk communities. The goal of the organization is to offer extra mathematical support and encourage the development of a variety of skills, such as cooking and writing, to the extent of their will and not their reality.
My internship with Crea+ stemmed from the necessity to investigate the low attendance rates in the education programs offered every Saturday. With the use of research tools such as surveys and interviews aimed at the students, parents, professors, and volunteers, I was able to develop a guideline for the investigation. The investigation seeked to determine overall the following: what obstacles did individuals face to attend or be allowed to attend the programs, was there knowledge about the programs and its hours of function offered, the impact of external and internal support, improvement recommendations, and reactions to the possibility of changing the date and hour of Crea+. Using a margin error of 5%, the surveys were conducted to a select number of students, professors, and parents during school hours and meetings. The purpose of the internship was to utilize the investigation results to improve accessibility and knowledge about the programs offered and to increase attendance. The internship required a full-year intern to complete the process and analysis of results. My accomplishments with Crea+ were limited to the creation and implementation of the surveys for the first semester of the school year. Nonetheless, the internship exposes the intern to the different areas of the organization and the education system in Chile. It also enables contact with the students, professors, volunteers, and parents and to carry out ethnographic work when plausible.
Georgia Whitaker (Spring 2013, Bowdoin College) Museum of Memory and Human Rights
This internship with the Museum of Memory and Human Rights (el Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos) in Santiago provides interns the opportunity to learn about Chile's recent history and gain practical experience in archival research. The goal of the Museum is to provide a public, educational space that commemorates and sheds light on the thousands of human rights violations committed by the 1973-1990 Augusto Pinochet dictatorship. The internship is in the Archival Center (el Centro de Documentación, or the "CEDOC") of the Museum, and provides interns access to a specific archive that they will review, document and analyze throughout the semester. Though the specific archive will likely vary each semester, in my internship I reviewed a digital archive kept by the Argentine police and the Argentine Embassy in Chile during the early 1970s to monitor the flow of leftist political dissidents who gained political asylum in Argentina after the Chilean coup d'état of September 11, 1973 and who were assumed to pose a threat to the Chilean dictatorship and/or to the Argentine state. I reviewed these immigration records and compiled an Excel document that tracked the names of all the individuals recorded by the Argentine government and a brief description of why the Argentine police perceived them to be a political threat. In the last several months of my independent study, I also wrote a 30-page research paper that used these archival records as evidence of the early roots of the infamous Operation Condor in Chile and Argentina. This internship is an excellent opportunity to gain experience in archival research, to learn about Chilean history, and to interact with a body of international Spanish-speaking interns and supervisors. A solid background, or at least a strong interest, in recent Chilean history (and preferably South American Cold War history more generally) is necessary in order to make sense of the primary documents. Previous archival experience is not necessary, though would likely be helpful.
Aly Jaquith (Fall, 2012, Middlebury College) - Patagonia Sur
During my semester abroad in Santiago, Chile, I have been interning at an organization called Patagonia Sur. It is a for-profit organization whose major goal is to help preserve Chilean Patagonia by developing and investing in seven different properties in Chilean Patagonia. During my time here, I will help to establish a relationship between Middlebury College and Patagonia Sur. One of the many projects of Patagonia Sur is the sale of carbon offsets. By purchasing "carbon offsets" from Patagonia Sur, a person pays to plant trees in Valle California in order to "offset" his or her carbon emissions. My work here has been to calculate the carbon footprint of the Middlebury College Program in Chile (ie the carbon emissions of the Program Office in Santiago and the emissions of flights/trips of the students and directors). With these calculations I hope to propose the possibility of a carbon-neutral Middlebury College Program in Chile. This involves investigating the availability of funds and exploring ways that Middlebury can benefit from this relationship. This will hopefully open doors for Middlebury students to work, volunteer, and do research in Patagonia as well as serve as a model of a carbon neutrality project for other study abroad programs in the future.

First Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was split into two movies. Then The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn was split into two movies, the second of which comes out later this year. And then, just a few weeks ago, it was announced that Mockingjay, the final book in the Hunger Games trilogy, would be split into two movies, too.
Peter Jackson, who practically invented the multi-movie franchise by filming all three parts of The Lord of the Rings in one fell swoop, and who had already committed to splitting its prequel The Hobbit into two movies, apparently decided he needed to do something a little extra, just to stay ahead of the pack. And so, last night, on Facebook, he confirmed the rumours that had been swirling around last week, and announced that The Hobbit will now be a trilogy all unto itself.

As Miller recalls: "We used to joke around about it in high school: 'Oh, man, you might be a Heisman dude.' It was real funny to us until it started getting talked about."
Lattimore's Heisman candidacy began "getting talked about" when he rushed for 1,197 yards as a South Carolina freshman last fall. He was on track for another spectacular season this fall until he suffered a season-ending knee injury two weeks ago against Mississippi State. As a result, the prep teammates won't be facing one another at Neyland Stadium this weekend. Miller finds that a little frustrating.
"I keep up with him," the Vol sophomore said. "Whenever he plays I watch the highlights. He's been doing great. It's a disappointment he's hurt now."
Even with Lattimore sidelined, though, Miller is excited about battling his home-state university.
"It's kind of personal facing a home-state team because you know a lot of the guys," he said. "Other that that, it's just another game to come out and represent."
In addition to knowing "seven or eight" of South Carolina's players from high school, Miller knows several Gamecock coaches from the recruiting process ... one in particular.
"They came after me pretty hard," he recalled. "I was recruited by (defensive line coach) Brad Lawing. But this is where I needed to be. I bleed orange."
Tennessee's defensive line coach has noticed.
"Corey's a great young man, loves Tennessee, loves representing us," Lance Thompson said. "He's got a good attitude, tries to get better every day."
Miller's orange blood showed through when he unselfishly agreed to move from defensive end to defensive tackle last spring. At 6-3 and 265 pounds, he's awfully small to be playing tackle in the rugged SEC.
|Tennessee defensive line coach Lance Thompson has been vital to Corey Miller's progress.
|(Danny Parker/InsideTennessee.com)
"Number one, it is not easy. Number two, it takes a mindset," Thompson said. "Like Malik (Jackson) said a couple of weeks ago: 'You've got to play like you're a 400-pounder, not a 250-pounder.' There's some truth to that. You've got to be tough-minded. Corey's got good strength and he can play with good pad level. He's gotten a lot better with his hands."
Miller believes Thompson's tips have helped make the transition to tackle a lot smoother.
"Coach Thompson preaches all the time pad level, leverage, low man wins," Miller said. "That's what I try to keep my focus on because I am a little undersized on the inside. As long as I can stay lower than the offensive lineman I have a good chance to stay inside on the run."
Because Tennessee lacks defensive line depth, Miller is splitting time at tackle and end these days. His ability to play both positions is a real plus for the Vols.
"Corey's a little bit of a jack of all trades," Thompson said. "He's a smart player, which obviously helps him play any position. Obviously, he's a little undersized to play inside but he is a tough guy and he's strong. He's one of our guys who knows what it means to strain — drop his weight and press blocks, stuff like that."
Although he won't get to butt heads with good friend Lattimore Saturday night, Miller seems eager to challenge the Gamecocks.
"He's a little nicked up but it's an important game for him," Thompson said. "There's no question about it."

One of Europe's largest hoards of Iron Age coins has been unearthed in Jersey and could be worth up to £10m, according to an expert.
The Roman and Celtic coins, which date from the 1st Century BC, were found by two metal detector enthusiasts.
Dr Philip de Jersey, a former Celtic coin expert at Oxford University, said the haul was "extremely exciting and very significant".
He said each individual coin was worth between £100 and £200.

Mitt Is Overpaying His Taxes – For Nowby
Today, the Romney campaign released a summary of Mitt Romney's tax returns since 1990 and his 2011 tax return. The most striking part of the announcement is that Romney chose to forego $1.75 million in charitable deductions available to him in 2011 in order to ensure that his tax rate would be at least 13 percent, the estimated level he announced in January.
Foregoing those deductions is an interesting choice for two reasons, and not simply because Mitt is leaving money on the table. The first is that, less than two months ago, Romney argued that overpaying your taxes is a sign of incompetence. He told ABC News:
I don't pay more than are legally due and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president. I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires.
The second oddity of this announcement is that maybe Romney won't have to pay those extra taxes after all. You have three years after filing to amend your tax returns and claim deductions that you missed the first time you filed. So, if Romney loses the election, he can amend his return to claim the deductions he skipped and get a refund check from the government.
Romney spokeswoman Michele Davis, asked if he might later amend the 2011 return to claim the deductions, responded "He will not do that." So that's a promise from Mitt Romney. But since tax returns are confidential documents, we won't know whether he keeps the promise.
Larry Campagna, a litigation partner at Chamberlain Hrdlicka specializing in tax, confirmed to me that Romney would have the option to amend his 2011 returns, and that an amendment would be a private matter. An IRS employee who disclosed the existence of the amended return would be committing a felony. If Romney is President, he will face political pressure to make continued tax disclosures. But if he's a private citizen, he won't have to heed calls for more tax transparency -- he can amend his 2011 taxes and nobody will ever know.
So in a sense, overpaying his taxes is the best kind of campaign spending: Romney coughed up an extra few hundred thousand dollars in an effort to avoid some bad press, but he has the option to get all the money back if he loses. It's exactly the kind of smart investment you would expect from the founder of Bain Capital.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to assist you. I will give the best answer that I can with the information provided.
Hello, have you considered using the insolvency exception for canceled debt? To do this you would need to use Form 982.
If, right before the debt is cancelled (the date the company cancels it, in this case 1/2010), a person has liabilities totaling more than assets, the person is insolvent up to the difference. In your example, If she owed $12000, but owned $500 cash, $300 jewelry, 1/2 your joint account (1350)--then her assets would be 2150. The car is owned by you and Colorado is not a community property state.
So she would be insolvent by $9850 and this is the amount that you could exclude from income, by filing form 982.
You can use this form (and her calculation of debts and assets) on a joint return if it yields a better botXXXXX XXXXXne.
Please let me know if you need additional information.
Thank you Wendy,
I am in fact considering the insolvency exception, so that's why I asked which of, filing separate or joint would be more beneficial for us. I have few more questions..
1. what is "community property state"?
2. So, my personal assets and joint assets (other than joint checking/saving account) such as household stuff (kitchenware, beds, sofa, clothes, etc.) will not be counted toward assets when calculating asset/liability worksheet to prove insolvency?
3. If she has other credit card and student loan liabilities that adds up by $30,000, can she include this on her asset/liability worksheet?
Please advise your thoughts. Thank you!!!!
1. There are 9 community property states. These states have property laws that generally cause each spouse to take ownership of 50% of assets/income within a marriage. This does not apply to Colorado.
2. Your own personal assets do not have to be included in her calculation of assets and liabilities, but jointly owned property is generally considered owned 50/50%.
3. Yes, her other liabilities go on the worksheet, as long as she legally owed them on the date the other debt was cancelled.
It sounds like she will meet the insolvency exception for the entire amount of the $12000.
Great. I am getting closer to this....
Now, in terms of filling out the insolvency information...
1. Form 98: is line 1b all she need to check on this form? (and $12,000 on line 2)?
2. Asset/Liability Statement: Is there an official form or can I create my own?
3. What esle would you add (if this was your case) in terms of total assets other than:
Stock owned ($2000 value), $500 in checking/saving account, $300 value jewelry,
approx. $400 worth of her clothes, 1/2 of household stuff (should I include all
furnitures, electronics, and kitchen stuff?)
*You said because the car she drives is under my name only, that does not need
to be counted toward her asset, right?
I think this should be my last series of questions. Thank you!
Stock owned ($2000 value), $500 in checking/saving account, $300 value jewelry,
approx. $400 worth of her clothes, 1/2 of household stuff (should I include all
furnitures, electronics, and kitchen stuff?)
*You said because the car she drives is under my name only, that does not need
to be counted toward her asset, right?
The instructions to follow for credit card debt:
Follow these instructions if you do not have any of the tax attributes listed in Part II (other than a basis in
nondepreciable property). Otherwise, follow the instructions for Any other debt below.
1. Check the box on line 1a if the discharge was made in a title 11 case (see Definitions on page 3) or the box on line
1b if the discharge occurred when you were insolvent (see Line 1b on page 3).
2. Include on line 2 the amount of discharged nonbusiness debt that is excluded from gross income. If you were
insolvent, do not include more than the excess of your liabilities over the fair market value of your assets.
3. Include on line 10a the smallest of (a) the basis of your nondepreciable property, (b) the amount of the
nonbusiness debt included on line 2, or (c) the excess of the aggregate bases of the property and the amount of
money you held immediately after the discharge over your aggregate liabilities immediately after the discharge."
There is a helpful Insolvency Worksheet of page 6 of the following Publication:
You do not file this worksheet, just keep for your records.
I can't tell you what else to add to asset list, I don't know what your wife owns! Any property that she has legal ownership interest in should be included--don't forget about retirement funds. The list of assets on the worksheet should help.
If she does not own the car that she drives, then that is not her asset. Your state is not a community property state, she does not have ownership in the vehicle. Form 982 on a joint return when the debt is for one person must be figured with that spouse's debt and assets. You don't combine joint assets and debts.
