Ricardo Levario came to Southwestern planning to major in psychology and go to medical school. All that changed, however, when he took a drawing course the second semester of his first year.
"I asked my professor, Star Varner, how you decide what your major should be and she told me you should pick whatever you are putting the most time into," Levario recalls. "I spent 60 hours on one of my projects for the drawing class. I hardly ever read my biology or chemistry books."
Three years later, Levario is about to graduate from Southwestern with a degree in studio art and is receiving national recognition for his work.
Levario has had two large paintings accepted for publication in the summer 2009 issue of Creative Quarterly, a journal that highlights the best student and professional work in the areas of graphic design, photography, illustration and fine arts. One of Levario's paintings received a silver award in the Student Fine Art category, and the other received a merit award in the same category.

WATCH out for The Griterminator, a salt-spraying machine which melts away dangerous road ice.
The road gritter is one of a fleet at Milton Common depot which have names for the first time, thanks to creative school children.
The trucks were named by pupils from four primary schools – Great Milton, Wheatley, Woodcote and Checkendon. Eleanor Gillion Webb, 10, from Great Milton School, said: "I chose the name Griterminator because grit lorries are powerful machines and Griterminator is a powerful name.
"It was really cool going to see the gritters at Milton Common, we got to sit in them and have rides in them. It was amazing."
The other nine gritters from Milton Common and Woodcote depots are now called Darth Gritter, Gracie, Stoney, Arnie, Boris, Snow Warrior, Imelt De-ice, Gertie and Frosty.
It is part of a scheme by Oxfordshire County Council to promote road safety.
The council hopes to raise awareness among children and their parents of winter road conditions and the dangers they can pose.
Cabinet member for education Melinda Tilley said: "This is a great way to introduce children to winter road safety issues and it also creates a lovely link between local schools and their communities. I look forward to seeing some interesting names out and about this winter."

Bigger Isn't Better: The Italian Zucchini Secrets
In midsummer, food writers feel compelled to advise their readers on how to survive an imminent zucchini invasion. The topic generates a slew of photographs of amateur gardeners heaving their 20-pound wonders along with countless new or recycled recipes for zucchini bread, muffins and the like to cope with a bumper crop of these monster vegetables.
More from Zester Daily:
» Stewing up pork, beans and zucchini
» Living long with the Italian diet
» Veggie soup featuring zucchini
Tips for best flavor, whether growing, or buying zucchini:
PLANTING: For a family of four to six zucchini lovers, resist planting more than three. One plant alone can produce up to nine pounds of fruit in a season. The plants will continue to produce small fruits, providing you keep harvesting them.
PICKING: If you must grow them larger than the Italians do, stop at 6 inches. The larger they grow, the more water they retain and the blander they taste. Larger specimens won't brown easily when you sauté them because all that moisture discourages searing.
WHEN BUYING: Cylindrical zucchini should be no larger than 6 inches, brightly colored, and rigid, never spotty or wrinkled. The new (though in my opinion, not improved) spherical Eight-Ball variety is an ideal shape for stuffing, but if it's harvested when larger than a softball, the skin is leathery, the flesh flavorless, and the center is filled with large seeds.
ABOUT THOSE MONSTERS: No matter how much you'd like to believe the plethora of late summer articles that give advice for how to salvage overgrown zucchini, it is close to useless. If you can't pawn them off on your neighbors, maybe they're good for one thing, zucchini bread!
STORING: Chill fresh zucchini in the vegetable drawer of a refrigerator for a few days, if you must. Limp or wrinkled zucchini are ready for the compost pile, not your recipe.
COOKING: Young zucchini should not be peeled. Boil, steam, braise, stew, bake, roast, grill, broil, sauté, crumb-fry, batter-fry, hash, stuff, marinate (sweet and sour), or pickle them. Substitute them for nearly any of your favorite eggplant recipes, including eggplant alla parmigiana. Bake them into frittatas or zucchini pâtes; alternate them lasagna style between layers of flat noodles, tomato sauce and melting cheese.
In contrast, the Italians eagerly anticipate the young squash's first appearance in spring and seem to have no shortage of recipes at their fingertips for nurturing its true flavor throughout the summer. The problem with our bounty of zucchini is that these large specimens have lost their sweetness and distinctive taste, and we resign ourselves to eating them even when they have outgrown their welcome. No wonder we are drowning them in cake batter and compensating for their blandness with cinnamon and sugar. If we pick our zucchini sooner, in the prime of their youth, we'll love them more and welcome their abundance. Then we could start out with these words instead: "Only once a year do we have a chance to eat the delicate little squashes of summer." For if they are to live up to their name (zucca, "squash"; zucchini, "little squash"), they should be small, very small.
The Italians will tell you that the zucchina or zucchino, called zucchini in America, the anglicized plural form, should be no longer than 3½ inches, and is best eaten within one hour of picking. It is at this stage of development that the squash tastes like something and gives meaning to what one Italian cook called "a lavish gift from Italy to the United States, partly atoning for Al Capone and pizza [the man undoubtedly meant bad pizza]."
Zucchini come to Italy
Zucchini, botanically named Cucurbita pepo, were unknown in Europe before Columbus discovered their prototype in Mesomerica and sailed their seeds to Spain. They made their way to Italy, which bred the tender-skinned specimen of today, from its early thick-skinned ancestor that preferred tropical climates. In the 17th century when the Italians, tickled with their discovery, sent the improved fruit to Olivier de Serres, preeminent soil scientist and author of the French bible on agriculture of the day, he spat it out, calling it "Naples's and Spain's revenge."
He wrote, "It does very well in the south, which is more receptive to rustic foods. … In the Old World as a whole the squash has been most generally adopted in Africa, which has no prejudice against rusticity either."
The French are not inordinately fond of them even today, except in the form of their celebrated ratatouille. I may have a prejudice myself on the matter of French versus Italian food styles, no doubt inflamed by my Parisian brother-in-law's refusal to eat any Italian cooking put before him, either mine or my mother's (I speak in the past tense — he hasn't been a guest at my table for 30 years). Whenever he smelled the aromas of simmering ragù or zucchine ripiene wafting through our house, he ducked out to the supermarket to buy mussels and cream and whipped up a quick moules marinières to survive the meal.
As rusticity is viewed differently these days than it once was, evidenced by America's love affair with Italian country cooking, I'll stick my neck out and say that the Italian way with vegetables is most likely to deliver their clear taste intact. Their particular love of zucchini is revealed by the sheer variety of recipes they have for it.
The best variety
Technically, zucchini are not a vegetable at all, but an immature fruit, the swollen ovary of the zucchini flower. The earliest record of their reintroduction to America dates to the early 1920s, with the arrival of immigrants from the Italian south. They called the fruit Cocozella di Napoli. It was renamed Romanesco zucchini by a California seed company in 1921. Although many other varieties have been developed, this very same slightly ribbed, striated type is the only one that I bother to grow or buy because of its rich-tasting and compact flesh, which is why the seed curator Will Bonsall considers it "the only summer squash worth bothering with, unless you're just thirsty."
Admittedly, it's both a curse and a blessing that zucchini grow at such a meteoric rate and must be wrenched from the mother stalk when they have barely entered the world, but if gently nurtured in the kitchen, the squash will emerge with its natural charms intact.
Dealing with the bounty
In keeping with the spirit of zucchini's abundance at this time of year, I list some tips, and quick recipes with which you can't go wrong, even without precise measurements. Additionally, I offer one of my favorite fritter (frittelle) recipes in full, not only because I dream of zucchini season when I can make these crunchy, ethereal wonders, but because you get to use up a lot of zucchini for the recipe: after salting and draining them for the batter mixture, you are left with half their original weight and concentrated zucchini flavor.
Zucchini Fritters (Frittelle di zucchine)
From "Italian Home Cooking: 125 Recipes to Comfort Your Soul," by Julia della Croce (Kyle Books, 2010)
Because at least half their weight is water, zucchini fritters can be sodden and oily if not prepared properly. These frittelle are very light and delicate as a result of using young specimens, and salting and draining the shredded raw zucchini before forming the batter. I can hardly get the tasty morsels from stove to table before kitchen "helpers" snatch them as quickly as they are fried. This one's a crowd pleaser.
Serves 4
2 pounds small zucchini, each weighing between 6 and 8 ounces
2 teaspoons sea salt, plus more for sprinkling
2 large eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons authentic, freshly grated aged Asiago, Parmigiano-Reggiano, or Grana Padano cheese
1 tablespoon all-purpose unbleached white flour
1 tablespoon fine bread crumbs
Freshly milled black pepper to taste
Safflower or grape seed oil for frying
1. Wash the zucchini well and slice off the stem and navel. Grate them on the large holes of a box grater or with a shredding attachment in a food processor. Put the zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with 2 teaspoons salt, and toss. Place a plate on top. Over the plate, place a heavy weight such as a tea kettle filled with water or a very large can. Put the colander in the sink positioned over the drain. Allow the zucchini to release their water for at least an hour or up to two hours. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a clean kitchen towel to blot the remaining moisture, then place it in a mixing bowl, first using your hands to wring as much liquid out of the zucchini as possible.
2. Combine the shredded zucchini, eggs, cheese, flour, bread crumbs and pepper. Proceeding as directed, the mixture will be soft but not watery. Chill the mixture for an hour or up to two hours.
3. Pour enough oil in a frying pan to come 1½ inches up the sides. Turn on the heat and when the oil is sizzling hot, slip the zucchini mixture in one rounded teaspoon at a time. Take care not to crowd the pan; the fritters need plenty of room to cook. When they are golden-brown and crisp on one side, turn them over and cook until crisp and browned all over, about 5 minutes in total. Use a spider skimmer or tongs to transfer the fritters to paper towels to drain. Sprinkle with sea salt as soon as they are taken out of the oil and still plenty hot to ensure that it sticks. Repeat this procedure with the remaining batter. Serve the fritters at once.

In New York, the alacrity with which storefronts change ownership and completely overhaul interiors can be disconcerting (anybody else think we could apply some of that elbow grease to our city's more vexing projects?), so we were glad to see that Williamsburg's relatively new hipster destination, Barcade, had such a lengthy and well-documented gestation period. (We're also relieved to finally identify the mystery bar that we overheard being described on the subway this weekend as a magical land of 25 beers and Frogger.)
In nine months, the bar went from this

Edible Education: The Rise and Future of the Food Movement
One of the many currents that the opening of Chez Panisse in 1971 helped set in motion is the movement now rising to reform the American food system. The restaurant focused an early light on the social and environmental benefits of farming sustainably and helped spur the growth of organic and local agriculture. Today, the food movement is a big, lumpy tent under which many different groups are gathering: organic agriculture, school lunch reform, food safety, animal welfare, hunger and food security, farm bill reform, farm-to-school efforts, urban agriculture, food sovereignty, local food economies, etc. As a subject, food is remarkably multi-disciplinary, drawing on everything from economics and agronomy to sociology, anthropology, and the arts.
In Fall 2011, People's Grocery co-facilitated the course in partnership with The Edible Schoolyard Project and Michael Pollan. In 2012, People's Grocery is facilitating the discussion sections with students and providing a guest lecture.

On Saturday, D.C. United fans will have the opportunity to get a free Andy Najar bobblehead, courtesy of our friends at Volkswagen. In fact, the first 10,000 people through the gates (which open at 6pm) will take home the bobblehead modeled after the 2010 MLS Rookie of the Year.
You might be surprised to learn that it's the first D.C. United bobblehead since 2004, when the club produced a Freddy Adu figurine.
Bobbleheads have been around for decades and made a resurgence in professional sports in the late '90s. They're one of the most sought-after collectibles and over the course of the last 10+ years have been given out at numerous sporting events.
This got us at D.C. United to thinking about the history of bobbleheads by DC professional sports teams. With the help of our friends at the Capitals, Nationals and Wizards, we present to you – An abridged history of DC sports bobbleheads. I am confident this list is not complete, so please feel free to chime in below for those bobbleheads that we may have missed.D.C. United

For anyone who has let New York City serve as the battleground for their romantic dealings, Breaking Upwards is particularly apt. Based on the real-life experience of director Daryl Wein and actress Zoe Lister-Jones, the film follows the two as they attempt to deconstruct their relationship in the hopes of saving it. Meditating on the question of what it means to love someone but to no longer be in love, Breaking Upwards takes a surprisingly fresh look at the painful back and forth that accompanies the end of a long relationship.
Countless romantic comedies, sitcoms, and dramas have taken 'the breakup' as their subject matter, to varying degrees of success. However, very few have pared the subject down to its barest form and asked quite simply: how do you do this? The beauty of Breaking Upwards is in both the smallness of its subject matter and its willingness to not shy away from the more difficult and loathsome emotions that accompany any significant breakup.
The film begins with a mundane sex scene between Daryl (Daryl Wein) and Zoe (Zoe Lister-Jones), giving way to their somewhat oppressive morning routine: sharing the bathroom, wordlessly making breakfast, and sitting at the table eating — entirely uninterested in the other's presence. As they start to discuss their future together and acknowledge that the status quo has become rather bleak, they devise a complicated plan that strikes a balance between staying together and breaking up: taking days off. According to the rules of 'days off,' they are forbidden to call or see each other on 'off days,' but are to resume their relationship as normal on 'on days.'
Daryl and Zoe encounter the expected problems: Can you sleep with other people on days off? What happens if you feel that you need to talk to the other person? What do you do if you have other plans on a an 'on' day? And so forth. Shortly after the start of taking days off, Zoe sleeps with her acting partner, Turner, whom Daryl has a notable dislike for. Promptly after putting on his clothes, Turner grabs two beers and heads out the door, leaving Zoe devastated and suddenly needy for Daryl's attention. Experiencing the inevitable 'aha' moment, Zoe realizes all of the things she took for granted in Daryl and convinces him that they should get back together. Though the turn of events is predictable, Wein, as director, lingers in the significance of the moment and the haphazard way that we conflate our own personal needs and search for fulfillment with actual feelings of love.
As viewers, we watch as Daryl and Zoe experience both the thrill and misery of meeting new people, as well as their inability to evaluate their feelings for one another, without reacting to the particularity of their interactions with others. Rather than produce a generic film about falling in and out of love, Wein, along with writers Lister-Jones and Peter Duchan, look at the specific nature of relationships today. Contemplating what impact location, careers, and the obsession with the way one is perceived have on two people trying to relate and understand one another, the film raises a series of questions that many people avoid asking in their own relationships. How do you know when a relationship is simply 'comfortable'? How do you maintain the same love for someone at a time when you and your surroundings are constantly changing? And most importantly: how do you know when all that is keeping you together is the sheer fact that you don't spend any time apart?
Breaking Upwards is not good because it is revolutionary or groundbreaking; it succeeds because it looks closely at a topic that is often addressed broadly and generically, acknowledging the selfishness, unhappiness, and pain that are inevitable in both making a relationship work and in realizing that it is irreparable. Far from being an anti-romance, the film still manages to reflect on the importance of independence and the impossibility of growing up before you first learn how to be alone.

Officer Jason Crisp and his canine, Maros, were shot and killed in Burke County, North Carolina, while participating in the manhunt for a subject who had committed two murders.
Officers from several agencies were searching for the 38-year-old subject after the bodies of the subject's parents were located in their home in the 5000 block of Fish Hatchery Road. The subject had previously served one year in prison on a manslaughter charge for a murder he committed in 1997.
Officer Crisp and several other officers located the subject in the area of Fish Hatchery Road and Pea Ridge Road and were fired upon. Officer Crisp and K9 Maros were fatally wounded during the exchange of gunfire.
The subject then stole Officer Crisp's service weapon and extra magazines before fleeing further into the woods. He was located by other officers a short time later and was shot and killed when he opened fire on them.
Officer Crisp had served with the United States Forest Service for 16 years. He was survived by his wife and two children, his parents, sister, and two brothers.

After an impressive win on Sunday Night Football, the Colts sent the Giants and the rest of the NFL an unmistakable message. They plan on representing the AFC in Super Bowl XLV.
From their outstanding opening touchdown drive (12 plays, 80 yard drive) to the Giants first offensive play (Antoine Bethea plastering Mario Manningham), it was clear the Colts came to play. Between the touchdown drive and the decleating hit, the Colts wanted the entire nation to know that last week's loss to the Houston Texans was an aberration. The Colts were magnificent. Indeed, the Giants did not look good at all. Yes, the Giants did play poorly. Plain and simple, the Giants ran into a buzz saw. It is only Week 2, the Giants are 1-1. With a 1-1 record, the Giants are in a three way tie for first place in the brutal NFC East. Looking on the bright side of things, although this is an ugly loss, it is to an AFC opponent.
The Giants defense had difficulty stopping the run. Colts running backs Joseph Addai and Donald Brown rushed for 161 yards. Despite allowing a total of 160 yards on the ground, this number is somewhat misleading. In order to thwart the Colts potent passing attack, Giants' defensive coordinator Perry Fewell used a 4-1-6 alignment. This means the Giants were in a "dime" package for most of the game. Fewell's gambit did not pay off. Peyton Manning said, "When a team's playing five and six DBs on first and second down, obviously they're playing pass coverage. In the past, we haven't been able to run against that coverage and you sort of play into their hands. So it was nice to be able to run the ball against that look."
The lighter defensive backs could not sustain the punishment from the bigger and stronger offensive linemen. Case in point, on Donald Brown's touchdown run, Colts guard Jamey Richard easily blocked Giants safety Deon Grant out of the way. This enabled Brown to scamper into the end zone untouched. Why did Fewell use this formation? Fewell leveraged all his resources in order to compensate for the weakness at the linebacker position. Besides Michael Boley, the Giants do not have "three down" linebackers. They do not have linebackers who can play in pass coverage. This weakness at linebacker manifested itself at Lucas Oil Stadium.
With a sound ground game, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning dissected the Giants pass defense. Out of his 26 pass attempts, he completed 20 of them for 255 yards and THREE touchdowns. Most importantly, he threw ZERO interceptions. Contrast that with last week, where magnanimous Matt Moore threw three interceptions all in the red zone area.
Since we are talking about making splash plays on defense, having Giants' safety Michael Johnson in pass coverage engenders big plays for an opponent. What was Michael Johnson doing on Dallas Clark's 50 yard touchdown catch? Johnson, spelling for Kenny Phillips, bit BADLY on the play fake. With no safety help, Clark was able to breeze by Giants cornerback Aaron Ross. As a consequence, Johnson's mental lapse gave the Colts a two touchdown lead. The Giants could never recover. Undoubtedly, this play was the turning point of the game. Recall from last year, Johnson made the same mistake (biting on a play fake) against the Eagles on a 60 yard DeSean Jackson TD. Aaron Ross, Sunday Night, Michael Johnson biting badly on play action… deja blue. Johnson is a liability in coverage. Too bad Chad Jones severely injured himself. Otherwise, Johnson would not be on the team.
Giants red zone defense continues to be problematic. Since 2004, the Giants continue to be the worst red zone defense in the NFL. Last night was more of the same. In four red zone trips, the Colts scored THREE touchdowns.
On offense, Colts defensive ends Dwight Freeney and Robert Mathis gave the Giants offensive line fits. For most of the game, because of the Colts pressure, Eli Manning did not have time to read the defense. The Colts sacked Manning four times. As a result of David Diehl's slow feet, Freeney had his way with Diehl. In fact, Freeney had two sacks and two forced fumbles. Clearly, Freeney's performance erases any doubt his play may be eroding. Additionally, Robert Mathis played a very good game. Like Freeney, Mathis had two sacks. The Giants offensive line was over matched by the Colts defensive ends.
Without stalwart tight end Kevin Boss, the Giants have a problem. TE Bear Pascoe had trouble blocking Mathis. He also appeared to be very slow. On his only reception, he looked like he was stuck in quick sand.
With the game out of reach, inexplicably, Eli Manning remained in the game. What was Coughlin thinking? The Colts' Linemen had their ears pinned back in pass rush. Thankfully, Eli did not get injured. Coughlin should have inserted Sage Rosenfels into the game when it was well out of reach.
Ahmad Bradshaw is amazing. Bradshaw has great vision. His ability to cut back runs makes him very dangerous. Especially against a Colts defense which moves very quickly to the football. If he did not collide with Steve Smith, he would have broken a long gain. Bradshaw gained 89 yards on 17 carries.
This current group of wide receivers are the best the Giants have ever assembled. When Eli was given time to throw, he hit Mario Manningham and Hakeem Nicks for touchdowns. Steve Smith runs crisp routes. He continues to be the best third down receiver in the NFL.
Jason Pierre-Paul is becoming a force on special teams. When he is rumbling down the field, opposing players are running in the opposite direction. This is reminiscent when LT played special teams. When LT played special teams, former Giants's defensive coordinator Bill Belichick admitted players were frightened by him. On film, Belichick noticed opposing players were running away from Taylor. Like Taylor, opposing players did not want to deal with JPP.
Special teams are getting better. Punter Matt Dodge picked up his game-consistency. Because of the improved special teams, the Giants did not give the Colts a short field. Even Tynes' kickoffs were much better too. Tynes had a touchback!
Going forward, the Giants have talent on this team. It is up to the coaching staff to find solutions to their problems(run defense and OL woes). Let us hope they can make adjustments because next Sunday the Giants play the Titans. The Titans can run the ball well and rush the passer.

Perhaps this topic is a bit dull and has been discussed on many occasions but I guess it always can help to check with people who have more experience.
I am a bit confused about the lifesaver checks on roundabouts. I am not asking about indicating or glancing , just the lifesavers.
I guess there is no issue with going right on the roundabout as most people have the same idea of left on the approach and left on the exit.
But the views are divided on the left turns and straights on the roundabouts.
Left turn on the R'about
on turning left some say you need to take a quick left LS on your approach and a proper left LS on before the exit . The other view says left LS on the approach and right LS on the exit as you have already in left and no hazards can come from your left.
Straight on the R'about
First view says you need to do a left LS before your exit to make sure no one trying to under-take from your left.
second view says you need to go for a right LS to make sure no one trying to beat you to the exit from your right
can someone please help a very confused rider

The famous Lebanese star Nancy Ajram said that she is still too young to think about marriage. When asked about the man of her dreams, Nancy said that no one chooses who to love, and that she might name the characteristics of a perfect man, yet fall in love with another.
Nancy also said that love comes spontaneously, however she likes a man to be polite and who knows how to treat a woman.
"Women have their own world and a man who tries to enter and understand this world is the winner," said Nancy.
Nancy will head to Algeria on June 22 to host a live concert. She requested a hundred security guards to be present to protect her from Algerian fans. Nancy also asked for her own private mobile bathroom that costs US$4,000. She requested similar amenities at the Moroccan Mowazin festival.

Every 300,000 years or so, a piece of earth about the size of Rhode Island slides off the side of a Hawaiian volcano and falls into the ocean. The splash -- a disastrous ocean-size version of tossing a pebble in a pond -- sends rings of waves 100 feet and higher radiating outward until they crash, catastrophically, against shorelines around the Pacific Rim, from California to South America to Australia.
Writing in the current issue of Nature, scientists at the United States Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory report that they have, for the first time, directly observed a sudden slip of a volcano slope.
This particular slip moved only a few inches and does not presage a collapse, the scientists said, and it demonstrated that satellite monitoring systems could provide weeks or months of warning of a collapse.
''I like to say these flank collapses are like meteor impacts,'' said Dr. Peter Cervelli, a research geophysicist at the observatory and an author of the paper. ''It is indisputable they occur. It is indisputable when they occur, they cause catastrophic damage, but we also know their occurrence is very rare.''
The southern flank of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii, a possible location of a future giant landslide, is continually in motion without posing any danger, sliding at a glacial rate of three to four inches a year.Continue reading the main story
On Nov. 8, 2000, the motion suddenly accelerated by factor of several hundred, with some parts of the slope moving as much as half an inch over the course of one day.
A person standing on the ground there would not have noticed anything, but sensors on the volcano communicating with global positioning satellites made note of the shifts.
The movements were similar to what scientists would expect for the beginnings of a catastrophic flank collapse, but in this case, the accelerated motion lasted only a day and a half before returning to its normal crawl.
Scientists at the volcano observatory say that unlike earthquakes, where a swarm of small temblors may signal a large quake to follow, the small slip is not a sign of larger slips to come.
''It's not a priming,'' said Dr. Asta Miklius, a geophysicist at the observatory and another author of the Nature paper.
But the scientists were interested in understanding what had moved deep underground to cause the surface shifts. Their computer models indicate that a 9-mile-by-3-mile slab located about 2 1/2 miles underground slipped about 3 1/2 inches, pulling along the ground above it. The event was equivalent to a magnitude 5.7 earthquake, they said.
The scientists hypothesize that heavy rainfall nine days earlier -- three feet of rain in 36 hours -- may have been the cause, either by lubricating the underground fault or by adding weight to the slope.
In an accompanying commentary, Dr. Steven N. Ward, a research geophysicist at the University of California at Santa Cruz, describes in detail the devastating destruction a flank collapse would unleash with up to 1,200 cubic miles of rock sliding at speeds of up to 100 miles an hour for 20 to 40 miles. The eruption of Mount St. Helens, by contrast, blew away only three-quarters of a cubic mile of material, Dr. Ward said.
The slide would be the trigger for giant waves known as tsunami. ''It's going to stir up a pretty big wave,'' Dr. Ward said. ''You can visualize the large wave getting started and propagating across the Pacific.''
Dr. Ward's computer simulations indicate that a series of about 20 waves about 100 feet tall would scour the California coast. Smaller, but still devastating, waves would wash up along South America, Australia and islands in the Pacific.
But because flank collapses are so rare, ''I don't lose any sleep over it,'' Dr. Ward said. He estimates that one occurs somewhere in the world once every 10,000 years.
Debris from the last collapse of Kilauea's flank has been dated at more than 200,000 years old.
The paper by the scientists in Hawaii, however, shows that the monitoring system on Kilauea provides a useful model for watching other oceanic volcanoes should the unlikely calamity occur.
''These things ought to be at least kept an eye on,'' Dr. Ward said.Continue reading the main story

Sundance 2009 Review: Jonathan Liebesman's The Killing Room
by Alex Billington
January 18, 2009
This is the first film from Sundance this year that really has no buzz even though it turned out to be a great film. The Killing Room is a very taut thriller based on the real life MK-ULTRA top secret government psychological program in which various volunteer test subjects are put in a tense situation. In The Killing Room, four people are brought into an all white room with a table and some chairs and given a test to fill out. They are told that they'll make $250 at the end of the day and participate in numerous phases. Just as the first phase begins, the leader pulls out a gun and shoots one of them in the head. And then we're off.
The Killing Room is a lot like Cube and Saw, both previous Sundance flicks, except that its a deviation from those two in that we see some of the behind-the-scenes of the program. In the beginning we're introduced to their latest young recruit (Chloë Sevigny), who is newly hired to work under the program's director, Dr. Phillips (Peter Stormare). Throughout the film we're shown what it's like to be a test subject in the so called "killing room" and what it's like for a newcomer not adjusted to be watching this and accepting what's happening. Overall, it's a very interesting take on the whole idea and quite fascinating to watch.
Jonathan Liebesman really proves that he's a much more capable director than previous. The film borders on the edge of being mainstream, but inevitably stays very independent with its tight-knit feel and sleek directing. Liebesman does a fine job of unraveling the story of what's happening to these "victims" but also gives us enough of a look at the behind-the-scenes so as to not get completely lost. The score from Brian Tyler was one of the most memorable aspects, as was the acting. The actors being held within the room (Timothy Hutton, Shea Whigham, and Nick Cannon) were truly the keys to making this work.
Overall, The Killing Room is a very fine thriller that I've found myself liking more and more as time passes. I'm already anxious to show this to my friends who are fans of Cube and Saw so that I can introduce them to the latest notable indie thriller and show them that Liebesman can really direct something great.
Sundance Rating: 8 out of 10

And they're off!! The Daytona 500 of the Minnesota AAU basketball world gets rolling this weekend with the 32 team Minnesota Comets Invite. Because this event includes so many of the state's top teams it may be the best tournament of the year. And because it's after only a week of practice it may be sloppy but already teams are itching to get at one another. So gentlemen start your engines! And head to St. Cloud!
As expected the Howard Pulley Panthers opted not to participate in this event and just yesterday a talented Net Gain team dropped out of the event. That's okay though as every other top team in state will be in attendance and that includes the best two 16s teams playing in the 17s tournament.
Minnesota Preps will be getting after it this week with three previews of the Comets Invite. Today we start with a quick look at the pools.
Article Continues Below
Pool A
Minnesota Comets Elite
Minnesota School of Basketball
Minnesota Xplosion
MN Select II
The jewel of this group is the Minnesota Comets Elite team that early on is considered one of the top five teams in the state of Minnesota. They have a healthy combination of size, skill, and talent and their leader is Staples-Motley scorer Jordan Riewer. While Jordan isn't quite one of their top prospects he is one of their top performers as is St. Cloud Tech forward Alex Hanks and Mike Johnson from Grand Rapids. The top prospects will be 6-foot-7 wing Dan Kornbaum from Little Falls, 6-foot-8 post Ben Bucholz from Perham, and Willmar wing Taylor Filipek.
Mitch Ohnstad's MSB Roadrunners lost a strong bunch of talent last year but will be competitive again this season. There is not an AAU coach out there who improves the skill level of players like Mitch does and you can expect Roseville's Lucas Brown, Rosemount's Zach Vraa, and Tartan's Troy Klingsporn to be a tough out in the event.
I would expect the Xplosion to consist of Champlin Park kids once again and little to nothing is know about the Minnesota Select II at this point.
Pool B
Minnesota Glory
43 Hoops II
Minnesota Comets Blue
Hoop Training
Some mysteries here. Not sure who Hoop Training is (although it could be a MN SW team), not sure what level of a team this 43 Hoops team is, don't know anything about this Comet team, and who does the Minnesota Glory have? I would expect to see Austin scorer Marcus Gunderson, Cloquet big Ben Schultz, Rush City guard Justin Bosman, NRHEG big Cory Camerer, and Rochester Century big Dan Fleissner on the Glory.
If this is the second 43 Hoops 17s team then you will see Minneapolis Southwest and Minnesota Gopher walk-on commit Dominique Dawson, St Paul Johnson wing Dimitri Conwell, and Spring Lake Park starters Elijah Sabah and shooter Travis Johnson.
Pool C
TNL Express
43 Hoops 16s
Iowa Mavericks II
Minnesota Fury North
The Express will be blazing up the floor with Champlin Park point guard Jasper Duberry handling and Richfield guard Jay Sewer and wing Devon Knopke running as well. Inside they will utilize the size of crafty White Bear Lake big Spencer Cummings
The 43 Hoops 16s are the Chris Carr led squad that includes much of the 16s level talent. Orono guard Jordan Smith is a scorer, Armstrong's Marquel Curtis is a major producer, and Estan Tayler and Freddie Young are guys who will handle. Roosevelt Scott should give the team highlights from the wing while Jake White and Tom Schalk will do some work both on the wing and inside.
Pool D
Minnesota Pump N Run
Grassroots Club
94 Feet of Game
The new Pump N Run team is making their debut. This is a big team with a lot of size plus a couple real workers in Maple Northwestern's Steven Tecker and Sibley's Mike Rostampour. Rostampour is 6-foot-7 and he joins 6-foot-8 Kevin Noreen, 6-foot-10 Alec Brown, and seven foot Jake Kreuser in the frontcourt. Add in athletic 6-foot-6 Carlos Emmory and that is quite a frontcourt of talent. Then you have Tecker, Aaron Anderon, and Dyami Starks playing in the backcourt.
Grassroots should give a battle. Jordair Jett should be in uniform along with Jordan Hughes and the two of them will run with anybody. Breckenridge's Joe Terfehr is one to watch for ECI Minnesota.
Pool E
Minnesota Redhawks
Minnesota Fury Elite
Minnesota Magic Black
Old Skool
The Redhawks are a nice team made up of Minnehaha Academy kids plus they should have Osseo shooter John Rowland and Burnsville wing Jack Ghuzoni. Nothing is known for sure about the Fury Elite but a guess would include Lakeville North point Dajon Newell, Belle Plaine's Charlie Kern, and Jordan's Yuriy Malashenko.
Pool F
Heat Elite
MN Select I
ECI East
Triple Threat
These teams are kind of a mystery as well. There is a very good Minnesota Heat team from the east metro that has Ryan Duxbury, Paul Franklin and three other Stillwater kids plus a Wisconsin big, Park's Craig Brown, and Woodbury's Nick Quicksell but which Heat team that is I don't know as of yet. The top Minnesota Select team is still uncertain but you can expect some Hopkins junior varsity kids, some southern Minnesota kids, and Jimmy Ryan from Sibley.
Pool G
Comets Elite Seevers
Terry Porter Elite
Fury South
Minnesota Heat Select
The Terry Porter Elite is another mystery but if they have Silas Mills of Milwaukee King, Trent Thomas of Vincent, and Jonathan Williams from Milwaukee Washington with them again they will be a force to deal with. The Fury South could very well have some of the kids I mentioned on a previous team while the Heat mentioned here could have the players mentioned in the prior paragraph. This Minnesota Comets squad is also talented with Nevis scorer Nolan Toft, Sebeka brute Joey Cuperus, Cass Lake-Bena's Martin Wind, and Mora's Andrew Good brings the size at 6-foot-9.
Pool H
43 Hoops I
Minnesota Pump n Run 16s
Iowa Mavericks 1
TC Elite
The top 43 Hoops team should be solid with Eden Prairie's Brett Ervin, Eastview point Vernard Birch, Tartan's Manani Beavers, Clay Horne from Cretin-Derham Hall, Tony Gerdling of Centennial, Leonard Glass of Minnetonka, Johnson's Max Rosenbloom, and a big new name in Jordan Reetz from Wisconsin who is a top ten player from that state.
The young group from the Pump-n-Run will include Kyle Noreen of Minnesota Transitions, Shelby Moats from Waconia, Alex Richter from Lakeville South, and Jonah Travis of DeLaSalle.

In a self-published little red booklet entitled "Quotations from the Chairman," Samuel Zell, the real estate magnate who often sounds like a thoughtful version of Yosemite Sam, offered this guidance: "Be a risk taker; however, define risk by your own terms."
In his deal to buy the Tribune Company, Mr. Zell has heeded his own advice. The board accepted his offer of $34 a share that was short on equity — Mr. Zell will contribute less than 4 percent of the total value from his own pocket — and long on financial engineering.
The deal's magic lies in an employee stock ownership plan, or ESOP, that offered tax benefits that allowed Mr. Zell to further leverage the offer. The novel arrangement gets rid of the Chandler family, the previous owners of Times Mirror who cocked the gun and put the merged company in play last year. But it does not change a much bigger problem, namely that advertising revenue that support the newspaper and television businesses is trending one way right now: down.
Taking Tribune private will take pressure off quarterly earnings, but other challenges will remain, including eventually finding an exit for investors in an industry that seems a little short on a future right now.
The price, if you ignore the gimmickry, is a good one. There has been a re-evaluation in newspaper values, most notably at the end of last year when McClatchy sold The Minneapolis Star Tribune for $530 million, less than half the $1.2 billion it paid for the property eight years before.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Zell is a real estate guy, someone who has played that cyclical business by buying distressed properties and shining them up while waiting for the market to come back (and it always seems to come back).
But newspapers, especially large ones built on classified advertising, are a victim of secular, not cyclical, change as ads and audience have fled to the Web. The Tribune Company cannot be blamed for seismic changes in the industry, but it undoubtedly imperiled its future in buying Times Mirror for $8 billion in 2000 (a deal that should stand beside the AOL and Time Warner marriage in the pantheon of Bad Media Mergers). Needless to say, all those anticipated synergies never materialized.
There's very little in Mr. Zell's past that reveals what kind of newspaper owner he might be. He has never owned one, but if he is looking to cut costs, he could be in for a shock. Say what you will about Tribune executives, they vigorously trimmed back, so there isn't a lot of fat left.
Nor has he offered many assurances about the public role of newspapers, unlike his rivals from Los Angeles, Eli Broad and Ronald W. Burkle, whose bid stemmed at least in part from a civic impulse, even if it happened to be for the wrong city.
In the long run, newspaper companies could find new traction in a Web era, using strong local brands and trusted content to rebuild as a digital business. But the profit horizon on that is years away, long enough to try the patience of private equity money and the employees themselves. It will be a long, bumpy ride, and could serve as an inflection point for the Tribune Company's nonunion employees to organize to insure that their interests are represented.
Because of the ESOP, the Tribune employees are at the center of this deal. Like all Americans, they have been taught to diversify their investment portfolio, not to load up on their own company. "The employees are being asked to double down their risk at a very uncertain time in the industry," said Ken Doctor, a media analyst at Outsell. "Even the buyers of this paper said that while they were willing to invest, they wanted someone else to take the majority of the risk."
Le Monde in Paris has had a mixed record with employee ownership, and an employee-owned approach ended in a sale at The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and The Journal Star in Peoria.
"If they end up with some measure of control, I think that a lot of employees might be wanting to think salvation is at hand, but I wouldn't uncork just yet," said Mark Feldstein, associate professor of media at George Washington University. "Workers tend to be parochial in their interests and not long on vision, which is what drives good journalism."
That brings us to one of the many paradoxes of this effort to untangle the purchase of Times Mirror. The Tribune management that engineered that deal will undoubtedly be handed significant incentives to stay put, including Dennis J. FitzSimons, the Tribune president and chief executive, who will remain on the board. Those executives will no doubt be given parachutes that will help them land safely if the novel deal begins to break apart.
But Tribune employees, who never asked to be part of this bold new experiment, will now have their futures riding on a company being run by a manager who has no experience in the newspaper business. They're not only jumping from the frying pan into the fire — they're being asked to supply the gas.Continue reading the main story

Nearly three-quarters of Texas school districts have signed on to a third-party curriculum package that delights administrators but frustrates many teachers.
After May's election reshuffles its school board, Irving ISD may become one of the few to sign off.
For months, Irving's trustees have debated CSCOPE — a suite of teacher planning guides, handouts and unit exams that Irving purchased from its regional service center and rolled out last school year.
District administrators say the package — which costs roughly $260,000 a year — saves administrators time, keeps students on track with state benchmarks and helps teachers plan their school year.
But echoing complaints across the state, a minority of trustees complain the program bogs teachers down in paperwork, fails to prepare students for state tests and turns classroom planning over to a secretive third party.
Norma Gonzales, who is running unopposed for an open seat on the board, says she wants to phase out the program when she takes her seat. By then, CSCOPE's detractors on the board should have a majority to do exactly that.
Coming around
Shannon Trejo oversaw Irving's transition from in-house curriculum to CSCOPE last school year. The curriculum director acknowledged growing pains — inevitable with major change — but said teachers are coming around to the program.
"We have teachers that don't like CSCOPE for a variety of reasons and we have many teachers that do like CSCOPE, she said. "What we are hearing now most often, with everything going on politically, is: please don't change it."
For any given subject, CSCOPE software tells teachers exactly which units to teach, in which order to teach them and when to move on to the next unit.
CSCOPE's schedule — which Trejo acknowledges is hard for many teachers to keep up with — is synchronized to the equally demanding state standards. It's also designed to provide continuity for thousands of Irving students who switch schools mid year so they don't fall behind or repeat old lessons.
But CSCOPE also comes with prewritten unit exams, which Irving makes its teachers use. And the software can spit out dozens of handouts per unit, which district officials insist are optional despite claims to the contrary.
'So rigid'
Dani Van Wig, a regional manager for United Educators Association, said the union has heard stories from about half of Irving's campuses where principals forced teachers to replace their entire lesson structure with CSCOPE material.
"It's so rigid it doesn't allow for a teachable moment," she said.
Trustee Steven Jones said at least 40 teachers in the district have made similar complaints to him.
And for all those efforts, Irving's students fell far behind the state average last year on STAAR, the state's new standardized test that CSCOPE was supposed to prepare them for.
Only after months of backlash has central administration given teachers some control back over their classrooms, Jones said.
Reports of an outcry are greatly exaggerated, said Trejo. Since CSCOPE rolled out, she and other top administrators have met regularly with educators selected from every campus in the district.
"We heard the pacing of the material was rigorous," she said. "A lot of the complaints we heard about had to do with the assessments."
The district has tried to remedy concerns — most recently by giving teachers an extra two or three weeks before they have to give students CSCOPE unit exams. The district recently tweaked the software to list more traditional teaching aids alongside CSCOPE's suggestions.
But Trejo said not once, in multiple meetings with dozens of teachers, did anyone complain of being forced to use CSCOPE material — a common practice according to Jones, Van Wig and at least one longtime elementary school teacher.
Conflicting accounts
The teacher, who asked for anonymity to protect his job, said educators were promised CSCOPE would prepare students for STAAR.
"It simply didn't happen," he said.
Instead, the teacher said, he wasted hours photocopying CSCOPE handouts no better than the material in the textbook — some of it worse. He said if his principal walked by the classroom and saw him using the book, or deviating at all from CSCOPE material, he would be "redirected" back to the new program.
But the teacher's account bore no resemblance to that of Lauren Hilton, an academic specialist who helped train Townley Elementary's staff in CSCOPE.
"Right from the beginning we felt there was a misconception," she said on a conference call with a district spokesman present. "But the district has done a good job trying to clear up any confusion about lessons, making sure teachers know they don't have to use [CSCOPE] exemplar lessons."
Many do voluntarily, she said. Enough that "if we were to change and adopt a new curriculum system, we would go through growing pains all over again."
Charges of socialism
Trustees' complaints about CSCOPE go beyond classroom flexibility. Jones said the program had Marxist origins and appeared designed to "do an end run" around the Texas Board of Education and adopt federal curriculum the state has rejected.
At board meetings, he and trustees Larry Stipes and Gail Conder Wells have claimed that CSCOPE lessons indoctrinate students into Islam and socialism. A state Senate hearing in January heard similar complaints from other districts.
"Nobody knows what's in CSCOPE," Jones said. "It's very secretive."
In an effort to settle the matter, the district is preparing a teacher survey on CSCOPE. But even that has turned political, with Jones, Stipes and Wells complaining staff won't include their questions.
"I don't want to belabor this," Jones said near the end of a long discussion on the survey last week. "It's not my decision. You guys are going to do what you're going to do."
At least, that is, until the election.

Cricket 07 MUI is a cricket simulation computer game from EA Sports, which, like its predecessor Cricket 2005 was developed by HB Studios.Thanks to the groundbreaking EA SPORTS Century Stick control system, batting has become more intuitive, responsive and rewarding than ever. For the first time in a cricket game, players can enjoy full control over foot choice, shot, direction, power and timing, all governed through the use of both analog sticks. A back or front foot stroke is selected with the left stick, then shot timing and direction are judged with the right stick. Power is determined by how far the stick is moved, a slight tap can nudge the ball for a quick single or a firm push can send the ball fizzing away to the boundary. Allied to new cameras that deliver a more natural behind-the-stumps batting perspective and a wider view of the field, cricket has never been so easily accessible. With embellished gameplay, a wealth of tournaments, genuine equipment and authoritative new commentary from Mark Nicholas and Richie Benaud, you wont experience cricket this authentic without donning whites and walking down the pavilion steps yourself.

Satmap Active 10 review | GPS battery
Satmap GPS field test
I do miss a lanyard, when hiking I don't need anything else, to be honest. The PLUS version does come with a case. The latter includes a wrist lanyard which can be attached to the Satmap by rather feeble connections. And sadly enough, you have to detach them to be able to place the device inside the case. There are no openings in the cover of the bag to fit the lanyard. In order to be able to connect the carrier belt to the case, you need to use thin, metal bayonet hooks, which appear to be just as feeble. I'd prefer a lanyard that can stay attached at all times. A small adjustment to the cover would considerably improve the user's ease of the case.
Satmap Active 10 battery
Power supply for the GPS handheld device
If you use regular AA batteries, you will need 3 pieces, which is a rather odd amount. It is of course an advantage that even AA batteries fit, although for this review, I also received the Powerpack. This contains the 2700 mAh Li-Po battery; a much better power source. According to Satmap specifications, this battery lasts about 3x longer than AA batteries when it is fully charged. It does however require converting the device, which is admittedly a bit of a fiddle. The battery holder is clamped and is connected to the interior via small white connector. This connector has to be released, after which the battery has to be connected to a similar small connector. This construction seems rather feeble.

Lithium Battery power pack
I think it is best to always use the Lithium battery. The price one has to pay for the Powerpack is however not quite clear. Only the UK web site reveals a price, £ 49.99. Not only is the battery included, but also a charging cable for the car lighter and a power adapter. Thanks to the Advanced Power Control option, one charging load will get you quite far. One disadvantage I came across is that in my opinion the battery status does not indicate the remaining power, but the voltage the battery delivers. Right at the end of the user period, the indication drops very fast. You'd expect to be able to carry on for a couple of hours, yet the battery depletes within some tenth of minutes. Charge regularly, is thus my suggestion.
