Learning more about how things work is almost always interesting – but it's even more so if you can choose your own topic, do your own research, and present your findings to large groups. In the school setting, science fairs provide kids the opportunity to do just that. They promote interest and enthusiasm for school and for the research process, they promote creativity, and they build self-confidence.
To be successful at a science fair, you need a great display. It can mean the difference between taking home a top prize or going home empty-handed, despite your best research efforts and your fascinating topic.
This guide was designed to help understand the various elements of a science fair display and how to use them to your advantage to attract attention, add visual appeal and convey your findings in the most informative way possible.
Choosing the Right Colors
People subconsciously associate colors with different emotions and concepts. Green, for instance, is often associated with eco-friendly and earth-focused concepts. Red is associated with fire and anger and is an attention-grabbing color. The colors you choose for your science fair display should be closely tied to your topic, but also chosen carefully based on these subconscious associations.
See Also:
Poster Layout and Flow
Your display layout will have a big impact on your overall presentation. You want to convey information in a logical sequence, but you also want to emphasize the most intriguing findings or details and keep fair attendees interested – and sticking around your booth a little longer. Order is not just sequential, but visual. A display with various tidbits of information placed haphazardly on a poster isn't appealing to the eye. Make sure it follows a logical sequence and is neat and orderly, creating a natural eye path.
See Also:
Balancing Text and Images
The most-effective science fair displays have the ideal balance between text, images and white space. Images are just as important as providing all the details of your project in written form, and the right balance between text and images makes your display visually appealing. Include photos of your experiment at various stages, before and after photos or images of related objects or the concept of your project occurring in nature. For a volcano project, for instance, incorporating photos of real volcanic eruptions can make your display more interesting.
See Also:
Incorporating Charts and Graphs
Charts and graphs are useful for displaying a lot of complex information in an easy-to-understand format. By incorporating charts and graphs in your science fair display, you can give attendees a quick synopsis of the results of your experiment or convey important background statistics. This helps both judges and attendees absorb the most important details without reading a lengthy report or scanning through a few paragraphs of text.
See Also:
Using Great Titles and Subheadings
Titles and subheadings are an important component of your science fair display. If your physical display attracts attention, the first thing an attendee will look at next is the title of your display – they want to know what it's about. Your title should be simple and intriguing, as well as prominently displayed and in large, easy-to-read font. You can also use your hypothesis, problem or question as the project and display title. Use subheadings to convey your project's main points or findings and guide readers through the steps of your experiment and the results. Headings may match the headings in your research paper or be different, but the general guidelines for writing effective headings are the same.
See Also:
Crediting Sources
It's a good idea to give proper credit to your sources somewhere on your display in addition to the references page that accompanies your written report, if your project requires one. This is often added as a secondary element on the display poster and can include smaller font than what is typically used for headings and main points.

The Massachusetts Bar Association and the Medical-Legal
Partnership Massachusetts network have joined forces to create a
new pro bono program, the MBA Pro Bono Prescription, a pioneering
initiative that brings together volunteer attorneys and medical
professionals to promote the health and well-being of low-income
patients through legal advocacy.
The MBA's House of Delegates, unanimously passed a resolution in
January endorsing MLPs, which laid the ground for creating this
partnership. The MBA's support follows approval from the American
Medical Association, which passed a similar resolution aimed at the
medical profession in June 2010. The American Bar Association
passed a resolution endorsing the expansion of medical-legal
partnerships throughout the legal profession four years ago.
The MBA Pro Bono Prescription will support patients by providing
direct legal services to them - services triggered by referrals
from health care teams to the local MLP site. Each local MLP site,
most often housed with a local or regional legal services
organization, will serve as the connector between the health care
team, the volunteer attorney, and the patient.

Miranda Kerr has finally revealed the name of her son born in early January.
After admitting that she and husband Orlando Bloom were having trouble deciding on a name, the model took to her blog to officially announce the arrival of little Flynn.
Kerr also released a photo of herself breastfeeding Flynn, taken by Bloom. The model, who has an organic skincare line, is a fan of natural living, so it is no surprise that the birth of Flynn was drug-free. A statement from her blog reads:
"On the 6th of January I gave birth to our beautiful little son Flynn. He weighed 9lb 12 ounces (a very healthy and big baby boy). I gave birth to him naturally; without any pain medication and it was a long, arduous and difficult labour, but Orlando was with me the whole time supporting and guiding me through it. I could not have done it without him.
We are so happy and are enjoying our time together as a family. He is our little ray of sunshine.
Thank you everyone for your beautiful well wishes and your lovely thoughts and comments. I haven't had a lot of time to read many comments or to respond, but please know I will when I get a chance.
The attached picture is one that Orlando took of us.
Much love Miranda and Orlando"
Essential Baby readers may well be wondering if she plans on using cloth nappies too!

Despite potential conflict at Pinellas history fair, outcome stands
Disheartened by his experience at the Pinellas County history fair earlier this month, Jack Irvine asked school board members on Tuesday to consider making student involvement in the popular program voluntary instead of mandatory.
A state history fair coordinator agrees there was a conflict of interest problem with one of the judges, but says the issue does not merit change. Read Jack's story, from this morning's Tampa Bay Times, here.

Achilles tendinopathy means that you have tiny tears in your Achilles tendon, which connects your calf muscle to your heel. This problem causes pain and makes it hard to move your foot and ankle. Achilles tendinopathy is also often called Achilles tendinitis.
Tendinopathy is not the same as a large Achilles tear or rupture. But it does weaken your tendon and make it more likely to get a large tear.

>> IF YOU CAN'T BEAT 'EM: Apple iPhones to come out with bigger screens, by Lorraine Luk, Eva Dou, Daisuke Wakabayashi: "Apple plans an iPhone model with a screen larger than 4½ inches measured diagonally, and a second version with a display bigger than 5 inches. Until now, Apple's largest phone has been the 4-inch display on the iPhone 5. Both new models are expected to feature metal casings similar to what is used on the current iPhone 5S, with Apple expected to scrap the plastic exterior used in the iPhone 5C... Bigger screens are particularly popular in China." Wall Street Journal

>> OLD APPLE: Apple executives on the Mac at 30: 'The Mac keeps going forever.', by Jason Snell: "The Mac's path over the last 30 years has hardly been a straight one. Under the surface, the operating system that runs it is completely different from the original, thanks to Apple's acquisition of Next (and, oh yeah, Steve Jobs) in 1996. It debuted as a desktop computer, and now more than two-thirds of all Macs are laptops... The teams at Apple that have built and rebuilt the Mac over the years have had the option to toss away anything that didn't work--and yet so much of the original Mac concept succeeded that, 30 years later, the Mac remains undeniably the Mac." Macworld
> As the Mac turns 30, Apple ponders 'post-PC' era 'When Apple introduced the Macintosh in 1984, people wondered whether everyone would need a personal computer one day. As the Mac prepares to celebrate its 30th anniversary on Friday, the same question hangs in the air.' Wall Street Journal
>> THE NEW BIG BLUE: Microsoft grows revenue, improves profits in Q2, helped by Xbox, enterprise products, by Juan Carlos Perez: "A big jump in sales in Microsoft's consumer devices unit, which makes the Xbox console and Surface tablets, helped lift its revenue 14 percent and slightly improve profits year on year in its second fiscal quarter. Revenue for the quarter ended Dec. 31 came in at $24.51 billion, exceeding the consensus estimate of $23.68 billion from analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. Net income grew to $6.56 billion, or $0.78 per share, from $6.38 billion, or $0.76 per share, in the same quarter a year earlier... The Devices & Consumer Hardware unit grew revenue 68 percent, from $2.80 billion to $4.72 billion, as Microsoft sold 7.4 million Xbox consoles into the retail channel, almost 4 million of them the new Xbox One. Revenue from Surface tablet sales more than doubled sequentially, from $400 million in the first quarter to $893 million in the second quarter. Units sold also more than doubled." InfoWorld

Net income, excluding minority interests, was 7.22 trillion won ($6.7 billion) in the three months ended Dec. 31, the Suwon, South Korea-based company said in a regulatory filing today. That compares with the 8.2 trillion-won average of 11 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg in the past 28 days. Profit margins at the world's biggest maker of smartphones are being squeezed as new iPhones and cheaper devices made by Lenovo Group Ltd. and Huawei Technologies Co. crimp growth of Samsung's Galaxy devices.

>> NO FREE LUNCH: Why Google Android software is not as free or open-source as you may think, by Charles Arthur, Samuel Gibbs: "While the basic Android software is indeed available for free, and can be downloaded, compiled and changed by anyone, it doesn't include the apps that make up Google's mobile services -- such as Maps, Gmail, and crucially Google Play, which allows people to connect to the online store where they can download apps. Without them, a device has only minimal functionality. To get the key apps, a manufacturer needs a 'Google Mobile Services' (GMS) licence. Just like Microsoft with Windows and Windows Phone, GMS licences are charged on a per-device basis -- so that for example a company looking to ship 100,000 units of a tablet would have to pay about US$75,000, a source in the Android device community told the Guardian." The Guardian
> Google: We do not charge licensing fees for Android's Google Mobile Services, by Jordan Kahn: "The earlier report from The Guardian claimed that sources said Google was charging around 75 cents per device or $75k per 100,000 units for a GMS license and that licensing costs varied at Google's discretion depending on the OEM. Google told us that it does not charge licensing fees for Google Mobile Services but didn't comment further on the situation." 9to5Google

Carnival Splendor Easter Break fun in Mexico!!: Carnival Splendor Cruise Review by Krusty94
Overall Member Rating
Carnival Splendor Easter Break fun in Mexico!!
Destination: Mexican Riviera
Embarkation: Los Angeles
On Sunday we headed to the port about noon. The embarkation process was extremely easy and well organized. A porter quickly took our bags and we More headed toward the port. Within 5 minutes we had our sail and sign cards in our hands and were headed to the ship. Within 10 more minutes we were on the ship headed to the lido deck to have lunch. The rooms were ready by 2 pm and we went to check out our rooms. We were in room 7360 which is a basic balcony room. I must admit it was a smaller room than I expected and the bathroom was pretty small in my opinion. But there was ample closet space for our clothes and about 15 hangers. The rest of our family had inside cabins on deck 7 as well and we all thought it was pretty quiet. Of course it was spring break for many and there were over 1400 kids on the ship. I recommend staying in the middle of the ship with rooms above and below you as well as on the sides of you.
Our room steward was Jennifer (from the Philippines) she was awesome and took care of our needs, including ice, extra beach towels, etc. The ship was very, very, clean (did I say it was clean?...very clean). Everywhere you looked people were cleaning...I liked that!
The food was awesome for the first couple of nights...by Wednesday it was not as appetizing but it was still better than cooking yourself. There was chocolate melting cake every night so my nephew (11) was very happy about that. Our waiters were Michael (Philippines) and Sam (Thailand). They took GREAT care of us. We had early dinner 6 pm and this is the seating I totally recommend. There was a deli (awesome grilled ham and cheese) a sushi place, mongolian BBQ place, and a rotisserie chicken place. The area up by the rotisserie chicken is a nice quiet area that we found to eat our lunch...our little known secret on this cruise.
The splendor no longer sells coffee cards, that was a bummer, soda cards are available to buy for $56 for adults and $41 for kids. I just drank iced tea and lemonade or water.
The entertainment left a lot to be desired. The cruise director Goose had a lot of personality but the activities were far and few between. The kids club for kids under the age of 12 was Yucky, Yucky, Yucky! The counselors were probably overwhelmed with the amount of kids on this cruise, but they should have been prepared. Our 11 and 12 year old wanted nothing to do with the kids club after the first day. the older 14 year old liked it but that was because of all the dancing, bumping and grinding going on. Not enough supervision in my opinion as kids were running all over, climbing on things, etc. I thought there should have been more security telling these kids to chill out...I am not a prude either..I have kids, but I refuse to let my kids run wild like that. The camp counselors were so out of touch with fun for kids...maybe the Kids club should have some input from people who actually have kids.
We went to an event on the last sea day called "Groove for St. Jude" it was to raise money for St Jude's hospital. It was supposed to be a family event where families could go and have fun with their kids. Lets see, the activity directors were there for maybe 10 minutes...the shirts they were selling were not even in the Red Carpet lounge where the event took place, you had to go down the hall to formalities to get them, so they might have sold maybe 8 shirts total. There was a guy making balloons for the kids, but you had to stand in a long line to get them and the music stopped playing about 20 minutes after it started. Here is an idea Carnival...give the kids numbers so they can dance while waiting for their number to be called for a balloon animal. Also, if you want to make more money for St. Jude, have the shirts for sale at the location of the event.
The arcade was pretty fun and clean. Warning...each game cost 4 to 6 tokens each.
Debarkation was even more smooth than embarkation if you can believe it. They have numbers and you get off when your number is called. Grab a porter, find your bags and go through customs...easy peezy... Less

The Village of Bere Regis
The village of Bere Regis is built on the site of the Bere River, and (as of the 2001 census), has a population of 1,984. Located within the Purbeck District of Dorset, England, the nearest town is Wareham, only 6 miles to the South-East.
To celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, the residents of the community of Bere Regis marked the occasion with the installation of new Purbeck Stone village signs. The signs were just one of many acts made by Bere Regis to celebrate the Jubilee.
Bere Regis was featured in many of Thomas Hardy's novels in the guise of 'Kingsbere'. The village features most notably in Tess of the D'Urbervilles, based on the Turberville family, whose roots originate in Bere Regis. The village website offers a fasinsting insight into the family tree of this now extinct family name.

Winsock2 Threads blocking each other
Winsock2 Threads blocking each other
May 22, 2014 at 9:55am UTC
hi guys,
i have a program with two threads. Both of them use a Winsock2 udp socket to send data. Now it seems that on one of the pc's the sending thread is blocking the receiving thread. the two connections are running over different sockets and different ports. the two threads are sharing no data whatsoever. they run completly isolated from each other and are working fine when i run them seperately. i am really running out of ideas how this is possible.
any guesses ?
May 22, 2014 at 11:20am UTC
On the PC that's hanging:
1. run the program in a debuggger
2. break into the program when it's deadlocked
3. Inspect the call stack for each of the deadlocked threads
Look at the function parameters, local variables to try to work out what is being sent, and what reply is being expected.
You'll also need a log of what the other PC is doing.
I can't say any more because you haven't described what you're actually doing or posted any code.
May 22, 2014 at 12:05pm UTC
yes sorry,
now i can say for sure that the remote pc is still sending data. but my pc here stops receiving as soon as the second thread (sending data) starts to work. he hangs at the recv (winsock2) function. like it would be waiting for packages.
is it possible that the second thread just uses up all the bandwith ?
May 22, 2014 at 12:29pm UTC
both threads use 1 message pump, so they both use WM_SOCKET. How do you split work? Do you know that winsock functions are not thread safe?
1 thread with pump ---on recieve-->push msg on queue
<-----------go back at set some receive event---
working threads should sleep (waitforsingleobject) until receive event is set. When it does wake up, it should pop msg from queue and process it. Key here is to put critical sections in pop and push functions to access queue.

yes i know that winsock is not thread safe. that's why i use two different sockets and ports for the two connections. maybe i was not clear enought: the two threads do NOT interact. they are running seperately. one is sending data, one is receiving other data.
now i get a WSAEINVAL error from the recvfrom function as soon as the second thread starts. the microsoft site says that happens when the socket is not bound. but it was bound before or it wouldnt work to begin with right ?
May 22, 2014 at 5:05pm UTC
You're using threads, right? So why are you using that message based nonsense that WinSock offers?
Just stick the the basic BSD socket calls.

I am not one to (usually) skip a run when there is rain, but my long run this weekend was an exception and here's why.
I spent the weekend at my family's camp with about half of my zillion and one relatives. DBF and I slept in my tent because all of the beds inside were taken (which is fine because I like sleeping in a tent). I set my alarm for 6 a.m. Sunday to get up and get my 20 miler taken care of.
Alarm goes off, but I had already been up for about an hour because there was extremely heavy rain beating on my tent along with thunder and lightning. Run skipped for that day. Tell myself I will run later after the bbq and socializing are done. Needless to say, that didn't happen...food coma too strong.
I decided to try again yesterday because I really need to get this last really long run in. I set the alarm for 6, again and AGAIN there is pouring rain and thunder/lighting. Grrrr.
I run from the tent inside and check the weather on the morning news...FLASH FLOOD WARNING! Gah! So again, I postponed my run. When DBF and I got home we decided to take our blobby selves (not actually blobby, but feeling blobby) to the gym. I did 5 miles on the elliptical (cannot stand the treadmill!) and some core.
I am going to try for the 20 tonight. I have got practice with the girls where I will get about 4 in and then I will run 8 to kickball and then 8 home from kickball. Not an ideal way to get 20 in, but it will be done.
As annoying as the rain was, I think it could be a good thing since I have been struggling with whatever foot thing is currently going on, which I am adamently denying is PF. Mind over matter, right? I can will it away.
I did get some new shoes and on my 5 miler Saturday it didn't hurt, so I am hoping that will help. The new shoes are the Brooks Pure Grit, love 'em.
Tomorrow is our first meet of the cross country season against some teams that could potentially pose a challenge, but I think we can come out on top. It is a home meet and our course is pretty flat so I am hoping the girls will run fast times. It will be wet though with all this rain! My favorite!
DBF and I are headed to NYC, specifically Brooklyn, this weekened and I'm wondering if anyone has any runs to recommend. I am hoping to run Saturday and Sunday mornings before we get up and going, but I don't know if that will happen. We will be venturing around with DBF's mom and brother so I don't know exactly the plan, but I know I am not going to do my long run on Sunday because I don't want to spend half our day running, so I'll switch that with Monday.
I'll update ya'll on the 20 miler later in the week. Happy running

PARIS – A series of decisions taken over the last few years in Europe have alarmed me. The first imposed the rule of unanimity within the European Union for any decision regarding foreign policy or the use of armed force for other than humanitarian purposes. Because everyone must agree, nothing is agreed. As a result, Europe cannot develop a common foreign policy.
The second alarming decision limited the Union's budget to a mere 1% of EU GDP, thus preventing any new common policy initiative for much of the past decade. The third decision concerns the British vetoes of the candidacies of Jean Luc Dehaene and Jean Claude Juncker for President of the European Commission. When this last British "no" came down, I sadly declared the death of the political Europe, a charge that brought me harsh criticism, even from friends.
These decisions have become more alarming over time as the need for "more Europe" has become progressively more obvious. Only a united and strong Europe can tackle the global fight against climate change, encourage the adoption of new financial rules in order to avoid the excesses that led to the crisis of 2008-2009, and handle a rising China that will soon account for 20% of world trade.
The great banking, financial, and economic crises, which every country in the world still confronts, has made things worse. Ireland, by far the biggest beneficiary of EU membership has demonstrated a powerful anti-European reflex, despite being hit early and hard by the crisis.

"I Say, I Say Son!" Foghorn Leghorn Creator's Son to Speak at ToonSeum
The ToonSeum pulls back the curtain to take a behind the scenes of Looney Tunes through the eyes of Robert McKimson Jr. Robert is the son of famed Warner Bros. cartoon director and animator Bob and the nephew of animators Chuck and Tom McKimson. Robert will share the story of his animated family through pictures and remembrances of their work and the legendary characters they created.
Those characters are a who's who of Warner Bros. animation including popular characters like Foghorn Leghorn, Tasmanian Devil and many more. This presentation offers a rare glimpse at the lives and work of some of the most important animators of animations golden age.
Roberts new book "I Say, I Say Son." Will be released in 2012.
Robert will speak at the ToonSeum on Saturday November 26th, at 6pm. Reception and viewing of "Overture: Behind the Scenes of Looney Tunes" exhibition will follow.
Admission is $5 at www.mckimson.eventbrite.com
Members are free.
Online reservations are recommended.
Robert McKimson (1910-1977) was an animator and director who is most known for his work at Warner Bros. on the Looney Tunes series. His "Hillbilly Hare" is generally regarded as a classic outing for Bugs Bunny.
McKimson was an animator at Termite Terrace from almost the beginning, and had a knack for detail. For an example of his work, see the start of "What's Cookin', Doc?" when Bugs performs all the celebrity impersonations. He also was one of the animators on the classic short "A Corny Concerto" directed by Bob Clampett. There's a professionalism to the animation, and the graceful movement emphasizes Bugs's likeability. He also drew the definitive Bugs Bunny model sheet in 1943 (which ironically he didn't use himself when he began directing; see below). McKimson's versions of the classic Warners characters generally seem rounder and fatter than most of the other directors' (though it was Bob Clampett who introduced the infamous "Fat Elmer"), with rather small eyes his characters have a tendency to peer out through half-closed eyelids, at least in his earlier period.

This item from Bloomberg/Businessweek helps explain why AT&T is opting to invest $6 billion in its wireline infrastructure. The telco has been bleeding residential connections for years as these customers have dropped landline service and migrated to mobile wireless. This is particularly true for those residential customers not offered wireline Internet service and thus had no reason to keep their landline account active.
AT&T is apparently now hoping to win those customers back and retain those thinking of cutting the cord by providing them Internet service via its proprietary, VDSL-based U-verse IPDSLAM service. According to an AT&T news release today announcing its 3-year, $14 billion CAPex plan, U-verse IPDSLAM will provide Internet access and Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP)
to 24 million customer premises in AT&T's wireline service area by
year-end 2013.

I'm very new here.
I am learning to use the Media module. I created a "test_image" content type for experimenting with the Media module. I added a field of type "image" and selected the "media selector" as the widget.
When I click on the "select media" button, an overlay window pops up. It contains a navigation menu block. It also contains a grid-like media browser. There are three tabs: "upload", "web", and "library". Under both the "upload" and "web" tabs, "submit" and "cancel" buttons are shown. Under the "library" tab the "submit" and "cancel" buttons are both missing. I have no way to select an image from the "libray". I scrolled down to the end of my image files, and the "submit" and "cancel" buttons still do not show. There is no way to close the pop up overlay either. The only way to get rid of it is to reload the page.
If I click on the navigation buttons in the menu within the pop up, then I navigate to the page for the corresponding menu item. Basically, this is navigating on my website within a pop up window. Weird.
This behavior shows up in Firefox, IE8, Safari, and Chrome.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
Comment #3heylookalive CreditAttribution: heylookalive commented
Just found this issue, from a quick cursory look the modal window has overflow: hidden and is cutting off the rest of the form which has the "Submit"/"Cancel" buttons.
I tweaked the module CSS to the following, would make a proper patch if I was more confident this is the right way to approach the issue:
body.page-media-browser {
background: none;
overflow: auto;
overflow-x: hidden;
overflow-y: auto;

text: Hi all, Thanks for the updated numbers RobL; I think that we should try to do this more often, and ideally get some real storage servers attached to Jazz so we can see some better overall I/O performance. Two things jump out at me with respect to this data. The first is that clearly we're not getting all the bandwidth we can out of our I/O servers in the N:N servers to clients read case, because our bandwidth continues to climb as we add more clients than we have servers. We should figure out why this is; there's a potential opportunity there to provide better aggregate throughput in smaller # of client cases. On the other hand, we see apparently the opposite effect in the write cases; we hit peaks early in # of nodes and flatten out after that. That almost certainly has to be a local storage bottleneck. How does our peak local storage I/O performance match with iozone/bonnie numbers on those same nodes? Is there room for improvement in how we leverage that local storage, or are those peaks simply the best we can do with those disks? The second thing is the difference (or lack thereof) between these numbers and the previous ones. On the read side of things, we're clearly winning with the new system software on those nodes (or maybe improvements in PVFS2; hard to know w/out more data...). It looks like the better async I/O support is providing better scalability at the high end for us. However, writes haven't changed at all really, again pointing to a local storage bottleneck. We've almost hit the 10GB/sec mark! Very cool!

This is nearly three years after a tougher anti-terrorism measures were introduced at international airports after the 9/11 attacks in America.
On average, 180 objects are being confiscated from hand luggage by security staff on a daily basis.
Nail files, scissors and pins are the most common things found by staff.
But a clothes iron, a hammer and an industrial roll of sticky tape are also among 65,500 items confiscated at the airport every year.
As the summer holiday season approaches, the BBC News website found out more about the problem facing the airport security staff.
Mark Swaine, who is the operations and training manager for security at the airport said that although the problem was starting to decrease, many unseasoned passengers were still carrying forbidden items in their hand luggage.
"Obviously because 9/11 happened two years ago, people are starting to realise, especially the seasoned traveller, what they can bring on board," he said.
"But the main problem comes from people who are not flying so frequently.
"Recently we found one passenger with an iron in their hand luggage and we have had one with a hammer and another with a spanner.
"There was another passenger who was carrying a roll of industrial sticky tape which we had to confiscate because it was the same type that is sometimes used by terrorists for gagging people.
"And another time we had a passenger ask if she could carry peroxide on board because she wanted to do her friend's hair during the flight.
"A lot of people just don't see the potential danger of the things they carry on board," he said.
An estimated 1.9 million passengers go through the airport in the Vale of Glamorgan with all undergoing vigilant checks by security staff.
All hand luggage is put through a scanner and checks are made for explosives.
Among the items passengers are forbidden from carrying in hand luggage are toy or replica guns, catapults, household cutlery, items with blades of any length, razor blades, tools, darts, scissors and hypodermic needles (unless required for medical reasons).
Cardiff airport has around 100 security staff and regular police patrols.
"We used to donate a lot of the confiscated items to charity but because of a number of reasons we don't do that anymore including hygiene reasons," said Mr Swaine.
"Everything we confiscate gets melted down now.
"I think that when people realise the potential danger of an item that is confiscated, they don't mind," he added.
"The majority of people we stop seem to be quite reassured by the security measures in place," he added.
One passenger who recently had a nail file removed from her hand luggage before boarding a flight said that despite being embarrassed about being searched she was happy that thorough checks are in place.
The 26-year-old from Cardiff who did not want to be named said: "There was a metal nail file in my bag which had become wedged in a book and to be honest I had forgotten all about it.
"When they were searching my bag I did get a bit worried because I didn't have a clue about what it could be.
"I did feel a bit foolish and embarrassed when I saw what it was but I was really glad to see them making proper checks," she added.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Transport said that if passengers were in doubt about what they were allowed to carry with them to check with their airline or to carry it in their hold luggage.
And the amount of items being confiscated from air passengers hand luggage is not just a problem in Cardiff.
The BAA, which owns seven UK airports, said that over the last two months alone, around 650,000 items were confiscated from hand luggage.

Apple Store in Pasadena reopening this weekend
I just got notice from Apple that the store in the Old Pasadena retail district is re-opening this weekend, after an almost yearlong expansion project. The company even opened a temporary store a little bit down the street from the location, as it worked to expand the main store, adding a second level and lots more space for showing off Apple's products. But apparently the work is all done: The store will reopen this Saturday at 10 a.m., and the public will be able to enter and see what changes were made. Apple also says that the first 1000 customers to the revamped location will pick up a commemorative t-shirt, so come out early if you want one of those. The original Pasadena store dates bac

Keith Urban as Man of the Year? Some Tennesseeans Might Think So [VIDEO]
Keith Urban was already a superstar in the eyes of country music fans the world over. But the folks in eastern Tennessee might want to adopt him as their honorary "favorite son." Australia's biggest country export has been mighty busy in the Volunteer State these days. And it has very little to do with the fact that that's where he makes his music. No, here of late, it's where he's been making lots of new friends–young and old alike.
Let's begin with his association with Habitat for Humanity. That it's a worthy cause with which to be involved is a no-brainer. But suppose you were a Habitat House recipient and it was Keith Urban who gave you the key to the front door? Knoxville's Regina Olum was that recipient and must now be rapidly adding Keith Urban music to her collection, if she already hadn't. While Keith was in town recently for a concert at the University of Tennessee's Thompson-Boling arena, she carved a little time so he could head over to a Knoxville suburb and do the honors for Ms. Olum. A big heart from the land down under and a new home for a deserving new homeowner. Country musicians continue to prove that they will leave no stone unturned for anyone in need.
I remember fourth grade very well. I remember it as the first year I really started getting a lot of homework. A nasty case of measles didn't help, but that's a story for another day. No, I remember bringing a lot of work home that year. So it really would have been nice to have someone like Keith Urban around. Technically, I guess he WAS around; he was in Australia and he was 8 years old. But I digress. In Putnam County, Tennessee there's a teacher who also happens to be a big Keith Urban fan. And, apparently, that pays big dividends. A few weeks ago, Keith was in concert in Nashville–a short drive from Putnam County. Teacher Patty Sloan made the jaunt. During the show, Keith was reading signs made by some of the audience members and he was even inviting some of them up on stage to have their pictures made. Patty came up with a plan. She created a sign in which she said she wouldn't give her class any homework for a year is she could get a picture with Keith. Then she took that sign to the aforementioned Knoxville concert. And it worked! Patty got her picture and her class got a homework-free school year. I have to wonder if those students would love a wing of that school named in Keith's honor. I also can't help but wonder what the principal thinks.

Life Economics
I've been following Tenured Radical's thoughtful discussion of the realities of student debt, and the ethics of choosing not to pay attention.
It's a great issue. It's concrete, it's real, it has tremendous consequences, and it's something we can actually do something about.
I'll admit to taking it in a different direction than TR's discussion. That's because I think TR and her commenters largely nailed it, in terms of the economics of being a student at a pricey residential college. Students at cc's generally have different issues, since they mostly live at home and don't do 'meal plans.' For these students, transportation is a huge cost. They live at home, commute to college, and commute to work. What socializing they do also usually requires driving. (In four years at Snooty Liberal Arts College, I never had a car. Most students didn't.) When the only car you can afford is an oldie, you wind up paying extra in repairs and lost time. Insurance ain't cheap for young drivers, and, candidly, some of them haven't quite grasped the concept of "speed limits," which raises costs even more.
Add to that the slow climb of the minimum wage (esp. as a fraction of tuition!), the frontal assault on the used-book market by publishers, the expectation of constant reachability by phone (creating a category of expense that didn't exist back in the Paleolithic era, when I was a student), the aggressiveness of credit-card marketing, and the general impulsiveness of youth (a wonderful lyric, circa 1990: "I spent my last ten dollars on birth control and beer..."), and financial solvency is an uphill battle.
All of that granted, I also think many students need a clue about the financial realities of leaving student-hood; the financial lessons people need to learn when going from student status – whether undergrad or grad – to worker-bee status.
Sometimes I honestly believe the best fifteen bucks I ever spent was on Personal Finance for Dummies. (This was around 1997 – I don't know what the 2007 equivalent would be.) As one who had gone directly from undergrad to grad school, I was badly naïve in the ways of the financial world of people who actually make salaries. That's not to say I was coddled – I lived in some real shitholes – but just to say that I had no more concept of a mutual fund than I did of fruitfly migration patterns. So when I got an actual job, and the grace period on student loan repayments ran out, I had to learn a whole new set of rules.
(In grad school, 'financial planning' usually boiled down to 'what will I do the next time I have a huge car repair to pay for?' It happened entirely too often.)
Some of the rules were of the "oh, yeah" variety. You kind of already know them, but you hadn't put them together that way before. My first "oh, yeah" moment was when I read that paying off a student loan early amounts to a guaranteed after-tax return of 8% (or whatever your interest rate is). Mathematically, this isn't rocket science, but I hadn't put it together quite that way before. Similarly, the rule of 'always contribute enough to the 401(k) to get the full employer match' is mathematically obvious, but sometimes you need someone to connect the dots for you. And there's the classic "houses appreciate, cars depreciate," which isn't universally true but is a pretty good rule of thumb.
Other rules were more obscure. TW and I had been married for a couple of years before we discovered, via a passing comment by her brother, that a married couple insuring two cars together gets a much better rate than each of us insuring our own separately. Who knew? (Reason #53556 to support gay marriage – it'll save them a bundle on car insurance!) It was only about two years ago that I discovered that if you barely use cell phones, prepaid phones are dramatically cheaper. And I've become something of a savant about dodging ATM fees.
(Luckily, I was always healthily wary of credit card debt, which struck me as inordinately expensive, and car leases, which struck me as shady. Sometimes that Midwestern Scandinavian conscience actually comes in handy.)
There's even a whole vocabulary to learn. I had no concept of 'escrow' or 'equity' until I was thirty.
I don't know how or when to impart this kind of information to students. I've gone on record on my campus as opposing "student success" course requirements ("intro to college"), since they strike me as infantilizing. (Don't even get me started on the "time management" gurus. Time management tip #1: don't waste your time on time management gurus.) But some sort of "intro to life economics" elective – or maybe series of workshops with free food -- might be a good idea, particularly for the traditional-age students. Teach them about compound interest before they get sucked in. Apply critical thinking skills – the holy grail of the liberal arts – to economic situations most people actually encounter. That's not the same as the current Intro to Economics, which is more about methods and demand curves and the discipline of economics than about daily life.
Okay, I know this isn't going to happen, and much of it would fall on deaf ears if it did. But it would do a hell of a lot more good than much of what we do teach.
What would you include in a course on life economics?
Pay the highest interest loan off first. Make the maximum CC payment you can manage. Once you get rid of the old debt, make sure that you pay off your CCs in full every month.
If you can choose between an extra car payment and an extra student loan payment, make the extra car payment. Your car loan interest is NOT tax deductible, while your student loan interest is (up to a certain income level, but if you're juggling these issues, chances are that you haven't topped out the income level for deductibility).
Don't have multiple pets. Vet bills suck. Every time we start to feel a little bit more financially stable, we shell out a $1000 on a kitty enema or the like.
Try to build up liquid savings--don't pour everything into your company retirement plan. You should work to build up at the very minimum two months living expenses (six months is better). If you lose your job, you will need the cushion to get you through (we haven't had a cushion like this since I got laid off in 2002--but it was a damn good thing we did...as soon as I'm working again (soon, I hope!), the cushion is the first priority).
Thanks for the props: one of the things I would tell students now is that immediately upon graduation, determine some sum of money you can afford every month (say the price of an evening out with friends, which is $25-$50, depending on where you live) and put it in a savings account. When you have enough to start a Roth RA, buy one. The compund interest over time is fantastic, and you get tax savings too. As your income grows, raise your monthly contribution.
The other thing I would tell young people is that most consumer spending should be in *cash.* Dont put gas, groceries, TV's (and here we are talking essentials and non-essentials) on credit crds, even if you have all the good intentions in the world of paying them off the following month. Why? Because you won't -- because you will have exactly doubled your budget for those things for the following month. If you didn;t have hte cash for htem this month, where exactly is it going to come from?
I now do a yearly budget where I "save" during certain months of the year because I will need to "spend" in others -- this is particularly critical in relation to energy costs.
Information on: 1) rental issues (rights, responsibilities), 2) low-income familiy issues (WIC, access to healthcare via our state's insurance plan for children, 0-3 programs, childcare), 3) employee rights and responsibilities 4) information on accessing healthcare for the uninsured/under-insured.
I think a couple of workshops coordinated by Student Services with a few guest speakers would cover all of that. :)
I'd be curious to see some numbers crunched to determind if a given student is better off cutting back on work (and income) in order to complete their degree more quickly (how long would it take for higher post-degree earnings to compensate for lost-earnings while earning the degree?).
Many of my students entered the working world straight out of H.S. so they are accustomed to certain accourtements of adult living and seem unaware of the ways in which they could economize in order to accomodate tuition.
That said, my sister took a personal finance class at her CC and it was great - for her because she learned how to manage things independent of our parents and for us because she taught us a lot of things we never knew about finance.
I would also say that most students would be better off not expecting to live in college the way they lived at home with their parents. The art of living on the cheap is a dying one but is crucial to leaving college with your fanancial future intact. Many students at my college "have to have" things I think they could do
A very wise adjunct professor (who made most of his living as a freelancer) took me to lunch in my senior year of college and told me about tax writeoffs (save those receipts!) and the importance of a good CPA. I'm still grateful.
I now make sure that my own future-freelancer students know how to run their own businesses as freelancers--down to the nitty-gritty of business permits, getting health insurance, planning for retirement, marketing themselves to potential employers/students, and collecting payments.
But the number one advice? Don't live off of those credit cards (of course). I hope some of them are listening...
One other thing that I would tell newly minted grads:
DO NOT sign ANYTHING until you have read it closely. No loan agreements, no employment contracts, no nothing. If there's something you don't understand, ask. And get the clarification in writing.
In reading all the articles about people who have been reamed by sub-prime lenders, I am shocked at how many people either didn't read their loan documents or who noticed discrepancies but didn't say anything, or who raised verbal questions that were waived away by the lender's representative. Sure, it slows down your closing, but YOU'RE SIGNING YOUR LIFE AWAY FOR 30 YEARS! I've bought two houses now and refi'ed twice on top of that, and each time, I read every document in the packet. If something seems fishy or questionable, then it very may well be. Sadly, it is all too often up to consumers to protect themselves from predatory businesses.
We got Suze Orman's book "Young Fabulous and Broke" for a niece when she graduated from college. It deals very well with all relevant issues (student loans, credit cards, housing, cars, insurance, investment), as does her call-in TV show (on CNBC cable?).
A student could learn a lot from all of the bad examples that call the program. Like dropping $500 on a 20% CC buying rounds at a NYC bar to impress people they will likely never see again.
Best idea I ever got, from a fellow post-doc, was to bring lunch rather than buy it at a nearby burger joint. $5 per day = $100 per month is a big chunk of a car payment or $1200 down on a purchase next year. Some could buy a house instead of *$ several times a day.
This is an excellent point, but at my school (wealthy private uni) I see students who are happy to slum it during college, but expect that their first job post-college will provide them with the same upper-middle-class existence that they see their parents living. I don't think the problem here is that students are unwilling to eat ramen occasionally while students so much as they expect to live in their own apartment with a new car and a great new wardrobe and eat out every night with their first job.
Anyway, on undergrads, two things:
a) Require two personal finance/management courses: one in the first semester of their first year, and the other in the last semester of their senior year. The "rules" are different for college and after;
b) Encourage students to try and keep their "college lifestyle" (assuming they were scraping by or being somewhat frugal) for the first two years out. This will give them a margin to slowly adjust to their bills and hopefully increased income.
I (currently) don't have a TV. I had one in undergrad. I had one in grad. But now I don't. Why? Because I did the math. Basic cable alone is nearly $500 a year. Add on the "necessary" TiVo with (required) land line monthly fees and that rockets to nearly $1500 a year!
I don't know why most people are unable to do this sort of math on their own. Maybe a class is necessary.
And a nice upside to all of this, aside from saving money, my house has never been so clean and I always have time to cook rather than eat out. :)
The assumption that they will go directly from college to the lifestyle their parents currently have (25 years out of college) could be partly the parent's fault. Someone should have been telling them the family history: what their first house or apt was like, how much they made that first year, etc.
But it all boils down to this:
"'My other piece of advice, Copperfield,' said Mr. Micawber, 'you know. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure nineteen nineteen and six, result happiness. Annual income twenty pounds, annual expenditure twenty pounds ought and six, result misery. The blossom is blighted, the leaf is withered, the god of day goes down upon the dreary scene, and - and in short you are for ever floored.
"As I am!'"
If I had one piece of advice for living cheaply: cook for yourself. Learn what foods are in season, and how to put together nutritious, inexpensive meals. It's part of the "not trying to live like your parents" and also figuring out what you really need and really don't need.
Oh, and libraries are good. (A piece of advice I take too rarely!)
The cable TV bill cited above is a great example.
I admit that I spend $1.80 a day on coffee during my commute in. Would it be cheaper to make it at home and bring it on the bus and train? Sure. I count this as part of my entertainment budget, rather than food, and I have it in mind as a place to cut down in the future. (How I miss the $1 cappucino's available in grad school town.)
The student struggles with costs are real. This year was the first time (at State U) that I had a student sell back their book before the course even ended. They borrowed my copy for the final.
After 38 years as a Physiatrist I put up my own websites.
They are two free sites.
One [http://www.myRay.com ] is dedicated to help sufferers of Emotional Stress. People, who feel depressed, stressed or anxious yet they are still functioning.
Sufferers of Emotional Stress can and will eventually suffer from Depression and Anxiety. They enjoy a persistent poor quality of life. myRay http://www.myRay.com
can correct this.
My other free site http://www.MyDoctorExplains.com explains all you need to know about feelings, thoughts, emotions, moods, depression, anxiety, what they mean, what you can do and how you can choose.
Both sites, http://www.myRay.com and http://www.MyDoctorExplains.com are free. They are designed to help you.
Use them as often and as long as you so wish.
I hope that they will be of assistance.
With kindest regards
Dr. Michael Benjamin,
The best thing I did was attend a financial seminar for women, sponsored by the women's center and the alumni/ae office. The workshops, which are run 2-3 times a year, was a 1-day event, and there were workshops on taxes, retirement, living wills, buying and selling a home, and so on. The workshop was open to women students, faculty, staff, and alums, which meant that there were women there in all phases of life and in all variety of income brackets; because the participation from hourly staff was relatively low, the class of participants was skewed toward the graduates-of-private-university end of things -- but that's something that could be ameliorated.
I learned a great deal from the experts who rand the workshops (tax, accounting, real estate, legal professionals). I felt comfortable asking questions. And I learned almost as much from the questions other women asked, as I did from my own, in part because there were women there thinking about things that are still 10-15-20 years down the road for me. I recommend this workshop to every grad student I know. And I'll probably go again in a few years, to ask a new set of questions as I approach graduation.
For me, this has been a model that really worked.
These are sponsored/co-sponsored by Career Services, the alumni office, the dean's office, etc. and include topics such as:
Life After College: Housing & Budgeting. This is easily one of the most popular things we do, because students recognize that they have to move out of the dorms and that they need a place to live. I do this workshop and pepper the links and general advice with stories of my own post-college rental apartment horror stories and finance wisdom. (for example, spending $6 on lunch per day is 1200 bucks a year on lunch, ordering pizza once a week is over $500 bucks a year)
Personal Finance (this is done by an outside person who is an alum of the college, but he does not promote his own firm/services to the exclusion of others). Also well-attended.
Cooking For One. Partnered with dining services, but it was not well-attended.
Young Alumni Panel. Had recent grads (1-2 years out) in both the Nonprofit and corporate worlds come back to talk about their experiences. This is hit or miss, because the info is good, but getting students to come is always a struggle.
Hope others find this interesting!
What we found most useful were actual skills along the lines of SURVIVAL skills. How to change a flat tire (bike and car). How to make dinner without an oven or stove. How to balance a check book. We would provide maps and schedules to farmers markets and flea markets. How to find, catalog and use coupons.
Things we might take for granted (I'm 45), but have likely never been taught to this generation.
Concepts are really good, but practical skills provide the foundation. "...teach a man to fish...."

Let me start this off by saying this is in no way an attempt to bash Tyler but more so to get an understanding of why
I know we all have talked about Jim O'brien's notoriously inconsistent playing rotation. I think we can all agree that he has experimented more than a mad scientist. Last night , again, he went with a new starting line up that was not due to injury.
Why did Tyler start?
I have a real problem with this. I would like to know what Tyler has done to earna starting spot, if even for one game, but more importantly what has he done to earn consistent playing time?
What is he giving us that Mc Bob can't? I guarantee you if Mc Bob got the same playing time as Tyler, then his stats would be equal to if not greater than Tyler. Tyler says he is not concerned with his shooting? huh? Well I am. His shoting is atrocious and while it "might come around" that remains to be seen.
Mc Bob, on the other hand does not shot everytime he touches the ball. Is a better rebounder and does not get stuffed under the rim.
I thought playing time was EARNED, and I dont feel like Tyler has earned the right to receive more playing time than Mc Bob.
Again this is not a "bash Tyler thread" but really about what does Obie see in him? Please dont say the tired out "hustle and energy". Mc Bob, Hibbert, and D Jones, all bring the same "hustle and energy"
So the question is : Do you think that Pacer front office or Bird is pushing Obie to play Tyler? I am sure Birds ego is desperatley trying to make Tyler into a star so he looks like a draft genius.
I just struggle to find a solid reason why Tyler has earned playing time over Mc Bob
Look forward to your thoughts

facies currently under study at the Bureau. Bob will receive
his award at next year's SW AAPG meeting in Wichita Falls,
Texas. Way to go Bob!! 07/20/06
Lesli Wood recently returned
from co-leading a field trip from Anchorage,
Alaska, across the Brooks Ranges to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska,
July 9 through 18. Clark Wilson, UT Department of Geosciences
chairman co-led the trip, and Gil Mull, "Mr. Alaskan
Geology," was also a co-leader. After visiting glaciers
around Seward and Denali, the group hooked up with several
students and faculty from the University of Alaska
at Fairbanks for a trip over the Alaska Pipeline
Haul Road from Fairbanks to the Arctic Ocean at Prudhoe Bay,
Alaska. The trip is part of a summer field excursion for six
graduate students, who then flew from Prudhoe Bay to Point
Barrow to take part in an NSF cruise, co-led by Larry Lawver
with the UT Institute for Geophysics, for a 6-week, NSF-funded
study of the Arctic Ocean. During the trip, several outcrops
were examined for future field study as part of QCLIA's
developing research initiative in the surface and subsurface
study of the Alaska North Slope. 07/20/06
July 19, Coastal Geologist Jim Gibeaut traveled
to Clear Lake to present to the Galveston
Bay Council BEG research on the effect of future
sea-level rise on barrier-island environments. The title
of his talk was " Wetland Habitat Transition Induced
by Relative Sea-Level Rise." This work incorporates
past and ongoing Bureau projects involving wetlands mapping
and status and trends analysis, airborne topographic lidar
surveying and analysis, and shoreline-change analysis. Results
are being used for coastal management efforts.
Tinker was invited to serve as a member of the National
Petroleum Council for the 2006–2007 membership
term to represent the views of Texas in public policy decision
making. U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman
sent Scott a letter to announce his appointment to the Council,
which is a self-funded advisory body to the Secretary of Energy
whose members represent all sectors of the oil and gas industries
and related interests. In the letter, Secretary Bodman says
that the council, created by President Truman
in 1946 to continue industry and Government cooperation that
began in World War II, provides essential advice, information,
and recommendations on matters related to oil and natural
gas and the oil and natural gas industries. This appointment
follows close on the heels of Scott's candidacy for
AAPG President. Congratulations, Scott! 07/11/06

Saturday, June 24th, the Bureau hosted a full day of filming
salt-tectonics research for a 4-hour television series called
"Faces of Earth,"
which the Discovery Channel will broadcast in 2007. The film,
which aims to give a face to the geoscience community, is
being produced by Evergreen Films,
LLC, maker of Emmy-award-winning productions about
dinosaurs. The American Geological
Institute is sponsoring the series, and the Jackson
School of Geosciences Foundation is a contributor. Bureau
Director Scott Tinker will most likely co-host
the series. Using two HD digital video cameras, a film crew
shot a physical model run in the Applied
Geodynamics Laboratory, with commentary, on and off
camera, by Tim Dooley and Martin
Jackson. The scene then shifted to the AGL work area,
where Martin Jackson continued his commentary,
on camera, while the crew's own experiment (Fun with
Silicone) was captured by time-lapse photography. The film
will feature material contributed by Tim, Martin, and Mike
Hudec. The film crew's next assignment was
to shoot Charlie Kerans in the Guadalupe
Mountains. Better wear red, Charlie! 07/05/06
