Panchang AKA Panchangam is the Hindu Calendar which is denoted in the Indian Vedic astrology. Hindi Panchang mainly constitutes of 5 components, namely Tithi (The Lunar Day), Vara (Day of the Week), Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion), Yoga (Luni-Solar Day) and Karana (Half Lunar Day). Panchang mainly showcases the movements of the Sun and the Moon. Without consulting a Panchang in Hindu religion, auspicious events like marriage ceremonies, civic affairs, important events, inaugurals, examinations, interviews, starting new business / projects and other similar activities are not carried out. mPanchang provides you free information on Hindi Panchang.
As it has been articulated since the ancient time that "every action has an equal and opposite reaction", similarly when an individual acts in harmony with the environment, the environment also acts in the similar harmonious way with the individual. Hindu Panchang plays a vital part in analyzing the important 'tithi' for a prosperous work to start.
A Panchang showcases tabulation for the position of the Sun, Moon and the other planets for each day of the year for a fixed place (Longitude & Latitude) and time (24 Hour IST). The relevant data can be counted by using the difference between Fixed Place and Time. "Vishva Vijay Panchang" carries information for 100 years, which is very rare of all.
In brief, Panchang gives an individual an idea for auspicious day, date and time to initiate an auspicious activity and to ward off any kind of struggles or negative impact for the best. You can check 'Panchang for today' or 'Aaj ka Panchang' in Hindu Calendar or Gujarati Calendar available on mPanchang.
Here, you will find all the relevant information present in the Hindu Calendar for monthly panchang. Also the information regarding the good times is mentioned below.
Sunrise and Sunset – The true length of the day is considered to be from one sunrise to another sunrise in the Hindu Calendar. So, the Sunrise and Sunset time becomes very important when astrology or Jyotish is referred. All the major decision is taken by considering the position of the Sun and Moon.
Moonrise and Moonset – Moonrise Time and Moonset Time plays an important role in the Hindu Calendar for finding the auspicious time / good time and days to initiate an auspicious work.
Shaka Samvat – Shaka Samvat is Indian official civil calendar which was established in the 78 AD.
Amanta Month – The Hindu Calendar which ends the lunar month on the no moon day is known as Amanta Month. Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, West Bengal and Tripura are the states who follows this Hindu Calendar.
Purnimanta Month - The Hindu Calendar which ends the lunar month on the full moon day is known as Purnimanta Month. Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh are the stated who follows this Hindu Calendar.
Sun sign and Moon sign – The sun sign indicates the personality zodiac of an individual while the Moon sign is the second most important aspect in the horoscope.
Paksha – The tithi is divided into two parts, these 'parts' are known as 'Paksha'. There are two Paksha namely Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha'.
Abhijit Nakshatra – The inclusion of Lord Brahma begins in the Capricorn or Makra Zodiac, this inclusion is known as Abhijit Nakshatra. This is considered to be a very auspicious period.
Amrit Kalam – This time is good for annaprasana samskara and for other rituals as well. This is a very auspicious period to initiate any new work.
Gulikai Kalam – Gulika was the son of Manda alias Shani. The period is known as Gulikai Kalam. This period is not considered to be auspicious to initiate any work and should be avoided.
Yamaganda – This is an inauspicious period which is considered to be bad to initiate any prosperous work.
Dur Muhurtam – It occurs once in a day before the sunset. This time should be avoided to start any auspicious activity
Varjyam Kalam – The Varjyam or Vishagatika is the period which starts from the current day and ends on the following day. This is not considered to be an auspicious period.
Rahu Kalam – The period of Rahu is not considered to be good for any work. This time should be completely avoided to indulge in any auspicious work.
All the information regarding this is available on mPanchang for every Tithi.

hi everyone, i'm new here and i'm just getting started in making bento boxes for myself. i'm looking for a faster way to make the rice for my lunches so i looked into the microwaveable rice cooker that i found online. does anyone have ones of these? do theses work good?
this is the one i'm interested in (:
The rice won't cook any faster in a microwave cooker. A microwave rice cooker is just a fancy measuring cup with a lid.
My blog is Food and Shoes
I think one of this would be pretty fast; race ya (^-^).
I agree with Balifly.
I think a regular rice cooker would be your best bet, dear :)
I plan on getting one very shortly. It'll make it easier.
I'm getting my Bento on:P
I grew up with a mother who made rice every night in a specific heavy pot on a gas stove. It all seemed very precise and a little scarey. When the one-button rice cooker came into the picture it was like magic: perfect rice every time. Now I have a fancier model with all kinds of settings, but the one feature that I absolutely love is the timer. I wash and set the rice for dinner time and it is ready when we are. No worries. (Side note: I often set oatmeal in it before I go to bed and awake to hot cooked cereal in the a.m.)
Over the years I've tried several different microwave rice cookers. Until I tried Maki's Sticky Rice recipe in the microwave, I never had any luck. But that method needed too much attention and the next time I will make it in the rice cooker.
Littlepoko, I'd say your best bet would be to buy a rice cooker and every week or two make as much as you can in it. Then freeze in portions as per Maki's instructions. Or if that is too much effort, you can buy Shirakiku's pre-made, microwaveable rice. It comes in individual portions, three to a pack. I've bought it at Japanese food stores for about $4.50, but Amazon also sells it, http://www.amazon.com/Shirakiku-Instant-Cooked-Rice-Pk/dp/B000643THQ

From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel.
For the first year since the recession, median household incomes did not decline in 2012. Incomes didn't drop but they were flat, this despite the economic recovery. The information comes to us from the latest data the Census Bureau released today. And it points to a troubling aspect of the economy: Many families are worse off now than when the recession officially ended four years ago.
NPR's Chris Arnold reports.
CHRIS ARNOLD, BYLINE: Americans are still making a lot less money than they were before the recession hit. In 2007, adjusting for inflation, U.S. median income was close to $56,000 a year. But that's now fallen to $51,000. It leveled off in 2012, but incomes still aren't rising but incomes still aren't rising.
SHELDON DANZIGER: The only good news this year is that we don't have bad news.
ARNOLD: Sheldon Danziger is an economist and president of the Russell Sage Foundation. He says that the poverty rate at 15 percent is back where it was in the early 1990s. And, adjusting for inflation, incomes are back where they were in 1989.
Larry Katz is a labor economist at Harvard.
LARRY KATZ: The typical family right now is basically back where they were almost 25 years ago. We have seen some average income growth but it's still all going to the very top end. Only the sort of top one percent or few percent of the income distribution are seeing any gains yet in this recovery.
ARNOLD: There are a couple of things at work here. First, when you have such a deep recession you just have too many people looking for work. Bill Rogers is an economist and professor at Rutgers University.
BILL ROGERS: We still have for every job posted, there are about three people looking for that job.
ARNOLD: This is why high unemployment affects not just the unemployed but most workers in the economy. Your employer knows that you're not very likely to get a better job offer from another company so there's no reason to give you a raise.
ROGERS: And so, the nexus of power in terms of where wages are set still lies with the employer and not the employee.
ARNOLD: That should change eventually if the economy keeps improving and enough people get jobs.
There's another force at work here though. Technology is replacing a lot of even middle-class jobs with robots and computers. For example, TurboTax means fewer accountants. Sheldon Danziger says this is a big deal.
DANZIGER: People are talking about a future of driverless cars. You know, are UPS trucks going to drive themselves in a computerized lane from New York to Chicago? That would be more labor-saving technology.
ARNOLD: Innovation though could also create higher skilled jobs to replace those lost by the middle-class. And some economists think that the current picture is a bit brighter than what the latest census figures suggest.
KEVIN HASSETT: There are a lot of things that are difficult for economists to measure that have improved about people's lives.
ARNOLD: Kevin Hassett is director of economic policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. He says if you just look at median income, people are worse off than they were 10 years ago. But those dollars that they make go further as lots of things become cheaper.
HASSETT: The percentage of low-income households who have a computer grew over the last decade, about from 19.8 percent to 47.7 percent. The percentage that have air conditioning went from 65 percent to about 85 percent.
ARNOLD: One thing that all the economists we talked to agreed on, whether conservative or liberal, is that the government could be doing more to help, and the gridlock in Washington is getting in the way.

(Written in 2008, so many outdated reference but the premise is true.) After years of trying to figure out who catches my ire the most I think I have come to a conclusion. I would like to extend a big middle finger and a loud "fuck you" to people that don't own televisions, well except the Amish. The Amish never really did anything to piss me off so I am giving you a free pass, but other Mennonites you are still on my radar of hate but that is another debate for another day. Anyways, being in grad school I run into a lot of people that drop the reference that they don't own a TV. When … [Read more...]

Devah Pager Award Statement
The ASA Dissertation Award honors the best PhD dissertation for a calendar year from among those submitted by advisors and mentors. The winner of this year's award is Devah Pager, currently at Northwestern University. Pager took her degree at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The award committee declared her dissertation, The Mark of a Criminal Record, as being very timely and using an impressively ambitious methodology. The committee stated that is was executed with rigor and interpreted with deep insight.
The study makes an important contribution to the growing body of research on the effects of the increasing incarceration rate in the United States. While the study, an employment audit, itself is focused on entry-level jobs in a single metropolitan area (Milwaukee), it is designed to be more generalizable across a range of entry-level jobs than prior assessments.
The core result of the research is that callbacks to job applicants were received for 34% of White testers, 17% for Whites with prison records, 14% for Blacks without prison records, and 5% for Blacks with prison records. These figures demonstrate that a felony conviction reduces the employment chances of all young men, and that the effects are even stronger among Black than among White men. Given that these testers were matched on all other attributes, this demonstrates the continuing salience of racial discrimination in labor markets as well as the importance of prison records in structuring the opportunities of both Black and White ex-felons. The committee believed Pager's analysis effectively demonstrates that incarceration has become a substantial determinant of life chances in contemporary America.

Puddles. A few Southwest farmers, mostly in Northeast Texas and Southeast Oklahoma, saw puddles in mid-January, offering hope but little reassurance that a withering drought may be near its end.
This drought has been a sneaky one and accompanies a second record cotton harvest for Texas. West Texas farmers say they got very little rain but the meager amounts that fell picked the right time to make cotton. And ample winter rains gave them good soil moisture to begin the 2005 crop. Cotton farmers in South Texas saw yields plummet following two good years, however.
Grain harvest also suffered and many farmers report near failures for corn, grain sorghum and wheat. Dry conditions in Texas have prevailed since April of last year.
Texas drought losses have reached an estimated $1.5 billion, fueled by high hay costs and extended supplemental feeding for livestock, Texas Cooperative Extension reports.
"More than 90 percent of the state's range and pastures are in extreme, stressed condition," says Carl Anderson, professor emeritus and Extension economist. "Hay supplies are short and expensive. Water supplies are short and will only worsen if we don't get any rain soon. The main problem for ranchers is having enough hay and buying enough feed."
"The updated numbers reflect an extended long period of supplemental feeding that has gone on a lot longer than normal," says David Anderson, Extension livestock marketing economist.
"Overall, the soil profile statewide is dry," says Travis Miller, associate Extension head, department of soil and crop sciences. "The planting prospects are looking pretty grim for spring crops, particularly in South Texas. Normally, we start planting corn and sorghum in mid February. That won't happen unless we get some water to put in the soil profiles."
East Texas has been one of the hardest hit regions. Typically, about 750,000 to 1 million acres of winter pasture in ryegrass or ryegrass blended with oats is planted to offset supplemental feeding bills. Lack of rainfall never allowed those plantings to surface, Carl Anderson says.
Texas Governor Rick Perry has declared a disaster in all 254 Texas counties due to severe drought conditions, and requested that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Farm Service Agency provide disaster relief assistance for Texas farms and ranches that have suffered economic and physical losses as a result.
If Perry's statewide request is approved, qualified farm operators in all Texas counties will be eligible for low-interest emergency loans from the USDA's Farm
Service Agency. Producers can borrow up to 100 percent of actual production for physical losses, or a maximum of $500,000. The agency also offers additional programs, such as technical assistance, to eligible farmers.
Tom Rainey, a Denton County rancher, says stock tanks are at an all-time low and feedstuff is running perilously short.
"We usually carryover hay from one year to the next," Rainey says. "That got us through this winter, but we'll run out in March."
Rainey hopes to make some late oats to augment forage for his 175 to 200 mama cows. He runs both commercial and registered Santa Gertrudis cattle.
"We're having to cull a bit more than usual," he says. "We started with older cows and open cows but we're also moving some calves sooner than we would like to stretch feed supplies."
Farmers across the region say no appreciable rain has fallen since late last winter and most got little or nothing out of the system that hovered over Northeast Texas for nearly 24 hours, leaving from one to one-and-one-half inches of rain in its wake. Some got nothing.
"Zip, zilch, nada. I received about 43 small fertilizer-sized ice ball pellets at my house Saturday night," says Randy Boman, Extension cotton specialist at Lubbock. "It didn't even register as a trace at the official Lubbock rain gauge. We are now closing in on 90 days or so of no precip at Lubbock, and I believe when we passed 85 days that broke all previous dry spell records."
Jim Swart, Extension integrated pest management specialist at Texas A&M-Commerce, says the area got "anywhere from an inch to an inch-and-a-half."
He says moisture was likely enough to get wheat that had not germinated up and perhaps saved some plants that were up and drought-stressed. "Wheat that's already up will begin to tiller now," he says. "We at least have hope where we had none before."
He says top yields will not likely approach 100 bushels per acre in the Northeast corner of the state where soft wheat is the norm and where rainfall usually allows fairly good production.
"But we may still see some 60-bushel wheat," he says.
Intense drought has devastated wheat fields across Texas, says a Texas Wheat Producers Association report.
The wheat update indicates that 85 percent of the Texas wheat crop is rated poor to very poor, with 15 percent rated good to fair, based on the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service, January 23, 2006 report. The statewide wheat condition is rated at 20 percent of normal, compared to 82 percent at this time last year. Abandonment of planted fields remains high, especially in dryland fields. Some producers are plowing up grain crops in preparation to plant alternate crops.
Vic Schoonover, with the North Texas Oklahoma Cotton Association, says Southern Oklahoma got little moisture from the mid-January rain.
"The last rain, (Dare I say, trace in very small letters?) occurred Saturday night (January 21) here. It was what we call a good eight-inch rain, eight inches between each drop. We went to Altus Sunday afternoon and saw two small puddles between the railroad tracks."
Schoonover says the area so far has avoided wildfires that have ravaged the parched pastures and rangelands in much of North Texas.
"We are very lucky there have been no big fires in southwest Oklahoma so far," he says. "The rains in early summer last year made the grass grow well. It has made for good dry forage for the cattle and cover for bobwhite quail. We have apparently not suffered as much from dry weather as farther east of here."
He says from Lawton east, conditions become worse, "because dry weather in that area started much earlier in 2005 and left them with less grass.
"The rains came right for the cotton, but the wheat around here is in sad shape. One neighbor plowed up some of his wheat, but you can drive a couple of miles and see calves grazing on wheat that is eaten down, but not completely gone. The secret last fall was catching a 'saddle blanket' shower and being able to sow wheat right behind it."
Harvey Buehring, Nueces County (Texas) Extension Agent, says "measurable rainfall" fell on the Lower Coastal Bend of Texas the third weekend of January.
"Although modest, it was cause for excitement for farmers and ranchers," he says. "The amount of rain was very slight with a tenth to two-tenths of an inch widespread throughout Nueces and adjoining counties.
"The precipitation was an accumulation of light mist with an occasional sprinkle. It was far from being a drought buster, which we need desperately. The most significant thing about this event was that it was the first time in 2006 that most locations in the Lower Coastal Bend were able to capture anything measurable in a rain gauge."
Texas Cooperative Extension experts say the much-needed moisture did little to dampen the state's critical hay situation.
"You might say our current hay dilemma is the perfect storm," says Jason Johnson, Extension economist at San Angelo. "Drought conditions across our major hay-producing areas last season killed our production.
"Now it won't rain, so the small grain grazing much of the state relies on just isn't there. Normally, other regions and states typically step in to supply hay during poor growing conditions here, but they too are experiencing the same production-related issues we are," he says.
Johnson says the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service wrap-up from last season shows alfalfa production down 9 percent and all other hay production down 22 percent.
"High fuel prices are also being added to the mix," says Johnson. "Hay is having to be hauled major distances now and freight is expensive. The only real relief I can think of would be some good, general soaking rains across the state. That would perk up the small grain, winter grass and weed grazing and put some much-needed moisture back into the soil for a good start next spring."
Throughout most of Texas, Extension agriculture officials report supplemental feeding of livestock continues and extreme fire hazards exist due to the dryness.
The wheat association reports that producers are currently experiencing economic loss due to the need for supplemental feeding of cattle in all areas of the state with many producers continuing to purchase additional hay supplies from out-of-state sources. Range fires continue in many areas and are especially damaging when pushed by high winds.
Wildfires have destroyed pastures, livestock, fences and equipment. However, natural disasters haven't been the only burden on farmers and ranchers this crop year. Fuel and fertilizer costs for most farmers have more than doubled over the last year.
Rainey says early pricing estimates for fertilizers shows a two-fold increase over last year.
"And diesel is out of sight," he says.

I first spied Benefit's super cute range of fragrances a few weeks ago, even though the 'Crescent Row' scents have been around for-ever. They were all lined up pretty, shaped like cocktail shakers. So cute! And they all come in a little house too:
Benefit's newest fragrance offering is called Ring My Bella, and it is an unashamedly girly, floral, sweet but slightly sexy shade. I don't use that many perfumes regularly because I an quite particular…I don't just grab any old perfume and spray. I can't be doing with the lingering of a scent I don't like…
How cute is the way the packaging opens up!? Perfect gift right?
But then again I wasn't sure if Benefit could do a nice scent…in the sense the Benefit is quite bold in approach. Would the perfume be too strong, too artificial?
It's definitely strong. But still, I LOVE this perfume. It reminds me of orchids. It reminds me Lady Millions in that way – also another In-yer-face-super-strong-look-at-me-I'm-a-girl scent, but I can't help to feel good when I wear it.
This is also quite a obvious scent in that I can imagine a lot of people will like it because it's sort of floral-musky-vanilla-y. I can imagine if Ring My Bella was a girl, she'd be a pretty popular girl about town with a punch to her. She'd be…she'd be Wendi Deng!
This apparently contains:
Middle notes: Egyptian jasmine, creamy peony
Bottom notes: white patchouli, vanilla tincture, white musk
I've been wearing this for over a week and although it's a little strong when you spray it, it lingers something lovely without being to ikky. I love the packaging – as it's not too big it's no hassle to carry around, if you do wish:
Go and sniff it first (this is perfume, ya know) and if you like, I think it's a cool item. There are other scents (there were another 3 I thought were lush) if this is too much for you.
The perfume costs and other Benefit stockists.

My 2012 book of the year is Charles Kesler's I Am the Change: Barack Obama and the Crisis of Liberalism (along with Jean Yarbrough's Theodore Roosevelt and the American Political Tradition). Kesler is professor of government at Claremont-McKenna College and editor of the Claremont Review of Books, the flagship publication of the Claremont Institute.
I wish the 2012 election had rendered Charles's book obsolete and moved it toward the remainder bin. Instead it is the book of the hour to help us understand the pressing political phenomena with which we must continue to reckon.
Professor Kesler is now also holding down the fort at The American Mind (sign in here), the institute's new video interview project. Who better to interrogate Professor Kesler about his book than our own Steve Hayward?
Steve draws out Professor Kesler on the book in part 1 of the interview above, followed by part 2 and the remaining segments in the sidebar at the link. We look forward to presenting future installments of Professor Kesler's American Mind interviews on Power Line as soon as we can work out the arrangements with our friends at the institute.

FA Cup: Rafa Benitez praises Chelsea display against Brentford
Chelsea manager Rafa Benitez was a satisfied man after his side defeated Brentford 4-0 in the FA Cup.
Last Updated: 18/02/13 6:53am
It took 54 minutes before Juan Mata opened the scoring for the Blues against the League One side but goals from Oscar, Frank Lampard and the recalled John Terry then gave the final 4-0 scoreline a flattering look.
Benitez, whose team now travel to Middlesbrough in the fifth round, said: "Credit to them because the first half they were working very hard, but afterwards it was a question of time.
"We knew scoring first could be the difference. They would be more open and we would have more space.
'I'm pleased to score four goals and create chances. I'm really pleased with Oscar and Demba Ba did a great job keeping them busy."
The Spaniard also paid tribute to Lampard after he took his tally of goals for the club to 199.
"The team is doing well and Frank is on fire so he is scoring goals and that is good for him and good for us," he said.
Chelsea have now won three successive matches following last weekend's victory over Wigan and the Europa League defeat of Sparta Prague and Benitez is keen to keep the run going.
"In football you have to win games and for a top side it is even more important because everybody expects you to win every game," he added.
"I have said before that this is a team in transition. I think we have good players and little by little we can manage to improve the understanding between players and everyone is even better and we can continue winning games."

Will Rogers Imitator Coming to SWOSU
Will Rogers reportedly never met a man he didn't like, and he hopes to meet a lot of people during Southwestern Oklahoma State University's first program in the "Library Showcase" series on the Weatherford campus.
As portrayed by Dr. Doug Watson in a historical characterization, Rogers will be making an appearance on Monday, September 29, at 7 p.m. in the SWOSU Conference Center. The free event is sponsored by the Al Harris Library, and the public is invited and encouraged to attend.
Dr. Watson, a retired English professor at Oklahoma Baptist University, taught American literature and Western civilization for more than 25 years. Since 1991, he has been involved with historical characterization – first with both the Great Plains Chautauqua and National Chautauqua Tour, and more recently with state humanities council programs across the United States. His characterizations include Nathaniel Hawthorne and Stephen Crane, in addition to Rogers, whom he has been portraying since 1998.
His "Conversations with Will Rogers" program has been praised by scholars and theatre fans alike. "Conversations. . ." began as a Chautauqua-style presentation. Because of the interest in the Rogers character, Watson has performed many programs in 30 different states.
Central to every performance is Watson's intention to use the words and ideas of Will Rogers to entertain and educate today's audiences and to provide the opportunity to interact with the audience, through questions and conversations, both as Will and as a Rogers scholar. In his performances, Dr. Watson tries to keep alive the cultural memory of Will Rogers and share some of his most important ideas.

Reviewed by Sammi R. (age 8)
I thought the pictures were funny. I thought that the pictures were funny because of all the action in the book. This book reminds me of Thanksgiving when someone steals all the food. All of us found out that it was my brother Bobby with everything! This funny book reminds me of anther book in the series. That book is Case of the Spooky Snowman. It reminds me of that book because they try to find a snowman.
I think other kids should read this book because it is fun trying to find out the mystery. I think 6 to 9 year olds would enjoy this book. The part that will interest you is finding out who is doing the crime. So if you like this book, go get it or download it!

Checking in on the… Pac-10Posted by nvr1983 on February 6th, 2009
Michael Hurley is the RTC correspondent for the Pac-10 Conference.
News and Notes
- Arizona State's Rihards Kuksiks leads the nation in 3-point percentage, but is only third in the Pac-10. How is that possible? Well NCAA statistical leaders need to make a minimum of 2.5 per game from three-point range to qualify, while Pac-10 needs to make one per game and play in 75 percent of the team's games. Theo Robertson is shooting 56.2% and Michael Roll is shooting 54.5%, both ahead of Kuksiks's 46.7%. Either way Kuksiks has had a tough time the past two games going 3-for-20 from behind the arc.
- Ben Howland's 13-4 record against California is his best against any team in the Pac-10.
- UCLA's recent victory over Stanford was UCLA's largest victory over Stanford at Pauley Pavilion in over 30 years. It was also UCLA's highest scoring game under Howland. UCLA shot 73% from 3-point range and only 62% from the free throw line. Maybe they should start taking their foul shots from behind the arc.
- California, the best three-point shooting team in the nation at 47%, shot 2-for-16 from three-point range against USC.
- UCLA dominated teams this week. The Bruins went 3-0 with average margin of victory over 21 points.
- Darren Collison, who earlier this year broke the UCLA record for consecutive free-throws with 43, is shooting 94.4% from the line, which leads the nation.
- Craig Robinson has turned it around for Oregon State. The Beavers have four wins in the first half of the Pac-10 schedule for the first time since 2002-03.
- After another week of ups and downs in the Pac-10, there are really only two locks for the tournament at this point: UCLA and Washington. Four others (Arizona, Arizona State, California, and USC) still have work to do.

Rochester Institute of Technology has been selected as one of 18 locations in the United States to host the NASA technology development challenge, a two-day event in April that features demonstrations of technology and a challenge for participants.
The second International Space Apps Challenge calls on citizens to work together to solve challenges related to improving life on earth and in space, RIT officials said.
During the event, participants with a broad variety of skills will work in teams to create open-source solutions for 50 software, hardware and visualization challenges, including robotics, citizen science platforms and applications of remote sensing data, organizers said.
Challenges include developing a mobile application that allows observers of a meteor shower to trace the location, color and size of a shooting star to creating a narrative and visualization of NASA data that explains space exploration.
"RIT and the Space Apps Rochester team have already shown themselves as leaders for the global event," said Ali Llewellyn, project manager of the International Space Apps Challenge. "NASA is excited about collaborating with the Rochester community and we're looking forward to big things coming out of the region."
The Space Apps Challenge is open to anyone, and participants should bring computers and devices needed for development, RIT officials said.
The weekend event begins at 6 p.m. April 20 in RIT's Student Innovation Hall, with a closing ceremony at 9 p.m. April 21.

Several people, including two pedestrians, were injured Saturday morning in a three-vehicle wreck on South York Street in Gastonia.
Several people, including two pedestrians, were injured Saturday morning in a three-vehicle wreck on South York Street in Gastonia.
The incident happened around 10 a.m. along a busy span that also doubles as U.S. 321. It attracted a multitude of police, fire and medical rescue vehicles to the block, near an entrance to the Brookwood neighborhood.
The names of the drivers, passengers and pedestrians involved were unavailable Sunday. The officer who had first responded to the wreck had not completed his report and was not working Sunday, said Gastonia Police Sgt. Kevin McSwain.
�It�s still under investigation,� he said. �But there were three vehicles involved. I�d say charges are probably pending.�
McSwain did provide some basic details of what occurred.
A vehicle that was traveling north on South York Street struck a second vehicle near the Jackson Road intersection, where there is a convenience store on the corner. That caused the first vehicle to swerve into the southbound lane of South York Street, where it encountered oncoming traffic and struck a third vehicle head-on, McSwain said.
The first vehicle then continued onto a sidewalk and hit two pedestrians who were out walking, he said.
�I know the two pedestrians had serious injuries,� said McSwain. �I think there were some people in the vehicles were injured and getting medical attention as well.�
McSwain said he had not received an update Sunday on the condition of those who were injured. He was also not aware of whether alcohol played a role in the wreck.
The commotion caused a stir in the suburban area along South York Street, where walkers and runners are common on Saturday mornings.
Members of the Historic Brookwood Neighborhood Association group on Facebook were trading posts about the wreck Saturday. Several of them mentioned that a Suburban sport utility vehicle and a black pickup truck were among the vehicles involved, and that the two pedestrians were women, though that could not be substantiated by police Sunday.
Police shut down that section of South York Road for a time and detoured southbound traffic down Jackson Road.
Karen Guzek, who lives around the corner on Crescent Avenue, was leaving home with her husband Saturday morning to have their cars serviced. They noticed the throng of emergency vehicles and were worried.
�We saw blue lights, seven police cars, ambulances, two fire engines,� she said. �It was a horrific scene. I have never seen so many rescue vehicles in one spot.�
An hour later when they returned, the entire scene was clear, which amazed the couple. But Guzek and others were still concerned about the pedestrians they had heard were injured.
McSwain said Gastonia police would provide more information Monday morning.

Working with PDFs
Contributor(s): David Germano
PDFs are the most common format used to circulate fixed versions of documents. There is a variety of way to make PDFs from Web pages or word processing documents.
PDF 995 is free software that works particularly well. The free versions are fully functional, not a trial and do not expire. It does display adds - you can purchase it for a modest price and skip the adds as well as get technical support. Go to www.pdf995.com to download an installer. Once installed, it will appear as "PDF995" as if it was a printer whenever you choose "print" from within software, such as a word processor or Web browser. Using it will, however, produce a PDF rather than a printed copy.

NY Fracking Decision Delayed by Cuomo Administration, Too Early to Pop Champagne BottlesRead time: 5 mins
Steve Horn | February 13, 2013
By Steve Horn • Wednesday, February 13, 2013 - 12:16
New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration - led by a potential 2016 Democratic Party nominee for president - has announced it won't achieve the late-Feb. deadline it set on whether or not it would green light shale gas drilling, known by most as "fracking" (hydraulic fracturing).
This announcement fell a day after DeSmogBlog released what "fracktivists" have now dubbed the "New York Fracking Scandal" documents, also housed on NYFrackingScandal.com.
These documents reveal that Cuomo's chief-of-staff, Larry Schwartz, has thousands of dollars in stock portfolio investments in oil and gas corporations with a financial stake in fracking proceeding in New York, a possible violation of the state's conflict-of-interest law and potentially a form of insider trading. The documents also detailed that lobbyists from these very same corporations have also had VIP meetings with Cuomo's top-level aides in the past several months, granted prime access to the Administration to influence-peddle in the run-up to the looming fracking decision.
Yesterday, citing the necessity to "let the science determine the outcome," NY Department of Health Commisioner (DOH) Nirav Shah wrote that the DOH "will require additional time to complete based on the complexity of the issues" in a letter to NY Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) Commissioner, Joe Martens.
Shah closed his letter by stating, "Whatever the ultimate decision on [fracking] going ahead, New Yorkers can be assured that it will be pursuant to a rigorous review that takes the time to examine the relevant health issues."
Martens offered a brief response, concurring with Shah and writing that "the science, not emotion, will determine the outcome."
Front-line fracktivists see the Administration's reprieve as a positive development - at least for now.

Huskers Topple Cowgirls
Lincoln, Neb. - Several hard fought wins and commanding performances paved the way for the Nebraska women's tennis team's 6-1 victory over Wyoming on Friday. The No. 33 Huskers rose to 2-1 on the season, while the No. 75 Cowgirls dropped to 2-1.
The dual kicked off at 5 p.m. with doubles action. Madeleine Geibert and Stefanie Weinstein took the court in No. 1 doubles for the Huskers, where they faced Wyoming's No. 62 Simona Synkova and Kim van Ginkel. After jumping ahead early, Geibert and Weinstein were able to quash a rally by Wyoming and held on for the 8-6 upset win.
Next to finish was No. 3 doubles, where Wyoming's Veronic Popovici and Carly Van Hollen jumped out to an early 4-2 lead en route to a close 8-6 win over Nebraska's Frederike Putthoff and Maike Zeppernick.
The doubles point was determined at the No. 2 spot, where NU was represented by Patricia Veresova and Janine Weinreich. They squared off against Wyoming's Rebecca Berger and Alexandra Kovacs in an extremely tight match that saw multiple ties throughout its duration. In the end, Veresova and Weinreich were able to pull off an 9-7 victory and clinch the doubles point for Nebraska.
The dual then moved on to singles action. In No. 1 singles, Geibert matched up against Wyoming's Popovici. Geibert jumped out to grab the first set, 6-2 en route to a 6-2, 6-3 victory.
In No. 2 singles, Veresova faced off against Wyoming's Kovacs. After dropping the first set, Veresova battled back to capture the next two and secure a 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 victory.
No. 3 singles pitted Nebraska's Weinstein against Wyoming's Synkova. Weinstein took the first set and didn't look back, posting a 6-2, 6-3 win.
The No. 4 singles match saw Putthoff take the court against Wyoming's van Ginkel. The match was a hard-fought battle, but resulted in a 7-6(5), 6-2 victory for van Ginkel. It was Wyoming's only singles victory on the day.
In No. 5 singles, Weinreich faced Wyoming's Nemcova in a hard-fought match. Weinreich was edged in the first set, but battled back and earned a win by a score of 6-7(5), 6-3, 1-0 (6).
No. 6 singles paired Holmberg against Carly Van Hollen of Wyoming. Holmberg also fell behind early in the first set, but battled back and took hold of the win for NU, 6-3, 6-4.
The Huskers will rest on Saturday before they take on Illinois State on Sunday. That dual is scheduled to begin at noon. Wyoming will take the court again tomorrow against Illinois State, with a start time of 9 a.m.

OEN's Angel Oregon 2013 is around the corner- and two finalist PSU student teams and one Accelerator company are busy honing their pitches.
The signature angel investment competition, sponsored by Oregon Entrepreneurs Network (OEN), awards at least $200,000 in cash investment- not to mention a feast of investor help and attention. Accelerator startup Indie Vinos is a finalist in the Launch Stage category of this year's competition, where the big investment prize is awarded. Accelerator companies have a long history of securing investments starting in 2009 with DesignMedix and WeoGeo, and continuing in 2011 with OpenSesame and 2012 with Tellagence. Many of these winners coincidentally resided at one time in the Accelerator 'Hall of Fame,' named after the long train of winners.
Josh Blank, senior VP of OpenSesame, said that Angel Oregon was valuable beyond the funds. "I learned how to explain our business at a high level with people who are unfamiliar with our industry or products," he said. That sentiment was echoed by PSU doctoral student and Tellagence co-founder Nitin Mayande. "It gave us a good exposure to the entrepreneurial and investor community in Portland."
PSU is a supporting sponsor for the event. The Accelerator hosted Upstart Day, where 25 concept-stage companies experienced a day-long dive into investor feedback and an education on the nuts and bolts of startups. Five were PSU student teams, including Comitium, PressVi, Honeycomb and Green Innovations. The latter two are finalists and will present on the Angel Oregon stage April 17. Good luck to our PSU entrants, Indie Vinos, Green Innovations and Honeycomb!

Fox Nation uses "derogatory, even racist" term "anchor babies"
Research ››› ››› MATT GERTZ
The Fox Nation linked to an article reporting on how "Republican lawmakers in Congress are sponsoring a bill that seeks to abolish birthright citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents" using the headline, "GOP Targets 'Anchor Babies.'" Several media outlets have identified the term "anchor babies" as, in the words of the Rocky Mountain News, "derogatory, even racist, because it implies that Hispanics are having children as a way to stay in the U.S."
Fox Nation uses "anchor babies" slur
From Fox Nation's website, accessed February 17:
Despite appearing in quotes in Fox Nation's headline, the term appears nowhere in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin article to which Fox Nation linked.
Several media outlets have identified term as "derogatory," "pejorative"
Rocky Mountain News: Term "considered by many to be derogatory, even racist." An August 2006 Rocky Mountain News article reported of children born in the United States to undocumented immigrants: "Opponents of illegal immigration call them 'anchor babies' - a term considered by many to be derogatory, even racist, because it implies that Hispanics are having children as a way to stay in the U.S."
San Diego Union-Tribune, Reno Gazette-Journal: Term is "pejorative." An April 2006 San Diego Union-Tribune article stated that an anti-immigration activist "dismissed teens marching in Los Angeles as 'probably part of the anchor baby-boom of the late 1980s and 1990s,' using a pejorative term for the U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants." Likewise, an October 2008 Reno Gazette-Journal article reported that "[s]ome opponents of illegal immigration call such children 'anchor babies,' a pejorative term that implies the child will serve as an 'anchor' for his or her illegal immigrant parents, preventing the parents' deportations and acting as a pathway to citizenship for the whole family." [accessed from the Nexis database]
Chicago Tribune's Zorn: Term is "loaded language." In an August 2006 blog post, columnist Eric Zorn wrote that after receiving complaints for his prior use of the term:
I defended myself -- the term has appeared regularly in news stories since 1997, usually softened by quotations as in my column, and refers to the practice/hopes of illegal immigrants that if their children are born in the U.S. they will serve as an anchor that will help allow their parents to say here. And Doug Rivlin, spokesman for the National Immigration Forum, a leading immigrants'-rights group, said he does not consider the term particularly offensive.
However, Rivlin said, it's a "politically charged term" originated and favored by those who are opposed to liberalized immigration laws. And a quick check through various sources confirms this.
"They use it to spark resentment against immigrants," Rivlin said of his ideological foes. "They use it to make these children sound non-human."
To me, that's good enough reason to regret having used it and to decide not to use it in the future.
Sound arguments don't need loaded language.

Drivemocion LED Car Sign
Tell the driver behind you what you REALLY think
- Remote-controlled LED car messaging sign
- Display any one of 15 messages or faces
- Tell those other drivers what you REALLY think
Currently, we have very few gestures that can accurately communicate how we're feeling to others on the road. Allow us to review them:
- Raised hand, open palm, glance in rearview mirror: "Thank you for letting me in."
- Sweep of hand outward from body: "Go ahead, I'll wait."
- Hands thrown in the air: "I give up!!"
- Hands up, shoulders raised, head cocked: "I don't know what to think of this situation."
- Middle finger extended: "You're #1."
But there are so many things you'd LOVE to say that just aren't easily communicated through gestures, at least not while driving. The Drivemocion affixes to your rear window and is operated by a remote control by the driver's seat. Want to apologize for cutting someone off accidentally? Press a button and the sign says: SORRY. Want to get a tailgating fool off your backside? Press a button and the sign says: BACK OFF. Want to tell the person behind you that you find them attractive and may possibly rear end the person in front of you because you keep staring at your rearview mirror? Press a button and get a smiley face with hearts for eyes. With the Drivemocion's 16 messages and variety of facial expressions, you can tell the world behind you exactly how you feel. Now, keep your eyes on the road!
May not be legal in all states. Check your local laws before purchasing.
