Given the scary situation in the Arctic, I would apportion parts of the $10 million to methods that promise immediate results:
- Testing of SRM such as sulfur aerosols, bright water and marine cloud brightening.
- Testing ways to ignite or break down methane from the sky, i.e. from airplanes or satellites. Laser beams spring to mind. Short, amplified pulses of light could be focused on hydrogen peroxide or ozone, in efforts to produce hydroxyl and oxidize as much methane as possible.
- Building on the outcome of 2., equipping small aircraft with such technology, as well as autopilot software, GPS, LiPo batteries and with solar thin film mounted both on top of and underneath the wings.
At first, two such planes could navigate to the north of Canada and Alaska at the start of summer.
In subsequent years, numerous such planes could follow, also going to other parts of the Arctic. At the end of summer, the planes could return home for a check-up and possible upgrade of the technology, to be launched again early summer the next year.
There are many self-financed clubs where members build and fly remote controlled aircraft, as discussed in comments underneath this post. Even a small financial incentive would give them a goal, while the publicity would make people more aware of the problems we face in the Arctic.
Such airplanes could navigate the Arctic, guided by satellite detection of methane concentrations (image left) and equipment carried onboard, such as small versions of these analyzers.
Measuring from different vantage points can pinpoint the most suitable location to cross-aim multiple laser beams at, to minimize the energy needed to heat up methane to its point of auto-ignition (image below).
Methane can be ignited where present in concentrations of 5 to 15 %. In concentrations of around 9%, methane could be ignited with as little as 0.3 mj of energy (see image, adapted from Zabetakis).
At well over 500 degrees Celcius, methane's minimum auto-ignition temperature is rather high. Other volatile hydrocarbons in the vicinity may ignite at lower temperatures (with less energy), in turn igniting the methane.

Story highlights
- The remains found Friday are thought to have been in the area for some time
- "I saw the top of the cranium sticking out of the brush," dog walker says
- About 40 miles from the site, police have previously found at least 10 sets of remains
- Police will not say whether the latest remains are tied to the other cases
Human skeletal remains have been found on Long Island, New York, authorities said Saturday. The same police department has been involved in the discovery of at least 10 other sets of human remains about 40 miles from the latest site.
The discovery of the 10 previous sets of remains at Gilgo Beach has led to a hunt for a possible serial killer.
"At this time, we cannot say if the remains are connected to any other cases. The scene will be processed and re-evaluated to see if further searching is necessary," Deputy Inspector Kevin Fallon of the Suffolk County Police Department said in a news statement about the latest find.
The remains were found Friday by a man who was walking his dog in a heavily wooded area about 300 feet from a road in Manorville, police said. The grounds are the Upton Ecological Reserve.
On December 17, authorities announced that a body discovered earlier in the week along a remote stretch of Long Island beach was that of Shannan Gilbert, the missing New Jersey woman whose disappearance had led investigators to the 10 sets of human remains and the hunt for a possible serial killer.
Gilbert, 24, vanished in May 2010 after visiting a client. The Jersey City resident had advertised for prostitution services on websites such as Craigslist, police said. Her body was uncovered December 13 in the wooded marshes of Suffolk County's Oak Beach. That beach is about 9 miles from where the 10 other sets of human remains were found.
Gilbert's mother, Mari Gilbert, said in December that police had botched the investigation into her daughter's death and the apparent killings of the other victims. She threatened to sue the Suffolk County police if the FBI didn't take over the case. Attorney John Ray, who represented Mari Gilbert, said that because Shannan -- a resident of Jersey City, New Jersey -- crossed state lines to visit a client in New York, the investigation should be federal.
Suffolk County Police Commissioner Richard Dormer "thinks this is some kind of a silly scene for the Suffolk County police to be involved in only because Shannan was an escort," Ray said.
Ray accused Dormer's office of violating the civil rights of the victims by inadequately investigating.
Mari Gilbert has said she believes that her daughter was murdered by a serial killer. Police, however, maintained that Shannan Gilbert's death was not thought to be the work of a serial killer. Authorities have conflicting theories about whether a serial killer is involved in the other deaths.
The remains found Friday are thought to have been in the area for some time.
"This has been determined from the vegetation growth in the area around the remains," the police statement said.
The age and gender of the remains are to be determined by medical examiners.
"I saw the top of the cranium sticking out of the brush," dog owner Matt Samuel said of his discovery.
"It looked like it was wrapped in like bed sheets and then put in a plastic bag and duct taped around tight, and I guess over the time the plastic deteriorated ... and the sheets kind of decomposed," he told CNN affiliate News 12 Long Island.
In 2000 and 2003, the torsos of two women were discovered in the same area, News 12 reported.
Other body parts belonging to the women have been found at Gilgo Beach, and have been linked to the eight other sets of remains found at Gilgo Beach, the affiliate said.

L.A. art-punk band Savage Republic have always existed on the fringe, but they've managed to hold on to that fringe well past their '80s supposed heyday. They reformed to release 2007's fine 1938 album and now have released Varvakios, recorded in Greece using field recordings, traditional Greek instruments and the band's own apocryphal noise.
The band's show at Amoeba Hollywood Jan. 30 showed just how much fervor the band has, tearing through "1938" with its ominous opening lines "Wave of destruction, a wave of aggression, it's 1938 all over again" over searing, reverbed guitars and tribal drum beats. The band's percussionist/singer Ethan Port bumped into me from behind on his way to the stage, playing maracas over the din. Port banged on a tin-sounding box that added a desolate thump to the songs, beating it like he was leading a viking ship. The band traded instruments and vocal duty, with guitarist/bassist Thom Fuhrmann handling deeply intoned vocal declarations and Port barking like a barbarian. They played the Ceremonial record's gorgeous "Year of Exile," which led into the chaos of Furhmann beating his bass in unison with drummer Mark Erskine's rumbling roar before going back to the song's rubbery bassline. The band thanked Amoeba for having "a bunch of old guys" play, but they rocked like dudes half their age.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins will try to win back-to-back division titles for the first time in 20 years on Tuesday night when they host the Carolina Hurricanes.
With 101 points, the Penguins have already clinched their eighth straight trip to the postseason and have a 13-point lead over the second-place New York Rangers in the brand-new Metropolitan Division.
With just six games left to the Penguins' seven, the Rangers are already mathematically eliminated from catching Pittsburgh, but the third-place Philadelphia Flyers have a game in hand over the Pens and are 15 points back of the top spot.
Pittsburgh, though, can clinch the division with a victory over Carolina or a regulation loss by Philadelphia tonight versus the St. Louis Blues. The Penguins can also lock up the division crown with a point and a loss by Philadelphia in overtime or a shootout.
The Penguins have won consecutive division titles just once before in franchise history, doing so in 1992-93 and '93-94. The won the Atlantic Division last year during the strike-shortened campaign before shifting to the Metropolitan Division following realignment.
The Pens have followed up a three-game losing streak with back-to-back wins, besting the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Sunday. That pushed Pittsburgh past the 100-point mark for the sixth time in the past eight seasons, including last year's shortened campaign when the Pens compiled 72 points in 48 games.
Coincidentally, the lone time that the Penguins did not reach the 100-point mark was their Stanley Cup-winning 2008-09 season, when they finished with 99 points.
Sidney Crosby continued his MVP season with two goals in Sunday's win. He leads the NHL with 63 assists and 99 points and is tied for fourth in the league with 36 goals.
James Neal and Lee Stempniak also scored and Marc-Andre Fleury came up with 25 saves.
"(The Blackhawks) put a lot of pressure on us and I thought we were able to handle it well," said Crosby. "They started to take a few more risks later on and we were able to capitalize."
The Penguins will try to sweep their four-game season series with the Hurricanes and have won five straight and eight of the previous nine meetings overall.
Carolina has lost six straight in Pittsburgh, where it has not won since March 20, 2010.
The Hurricanes are seven points back of a wild card spot with seven games to play, having lost three of four and six of their last nine games.
Carolina was bested 2-1 in a shootout by the Ottawa Senators last night, with Ales Hemsky scoring the lone goal of the tiebreaker.
Jeff Skinner scored in his fourth straight game and Cam Ward made 28 saves in defeat. The lone goal Ward allowed in regulation came on a deflection that was reviewed to see if Ottawa's Mika Zibanejad had kicked the puck in just 1:41 into the game.
"As much as you like to take goals back, you can't," said Ward. "I thought it probably could have gone either way on the video replay, but from what I understand he didn't have a kicking motion. You have to look at it as a lucky break on their side."
Skinner scored just over two minutes later to tie the game, potting his 30th tally of the season. That is just one shy of the career-high 31 goals he scored as a rookie in 2010-11.
Carolina lost a pair of forwards to injury last night, with Jiri Tlusty and Andrei Loktionov suffering upper-body ailments.

|1850 U.S. Federal Census, Schedule 2
Last week I posted the Schedule 1 for the 1850 census which for the first time only collected data on free inhabitants of the United States. This is the first census where slaves were counted in a completely separate schedule, so we've got to have a separate inputtable form to go with it right here!
Whether we are researching our own genealogy as descendants of slaves or slave owners or researching someone else's, it is certainly convenient to have a form that you can transcribe to and save!
At this point in my blog post, I would normal start directing you to websites such as www.1930census.com or the site for the U.S. Census Bureau. While those sites are worth checking out as I mentioned in last week's census post, they are rather lacking with details on the Slave Schedules. Perhaps I missed something.
I have previously glossed over the information on Ancestry's website, not because there isn't information worth sharing, but it's like beating a dead horse. Been there, done that, everyone's used their site before. In this instance, however, I do defer to quite a well-written source explanation that they posted from William Dollarhide's, The Census Book: A Genealogist's Guide to Federal Census Facts, Schedules and Indexes (affiliate link) and Loretto Dennis Szucs', "Research in Census Records." in The Source: A Guidebook of American Genealogy (affiliate link). Check out the excerpt on Ancestry's 1850 Slave Schedule census page for some great information before diving in.
Some good general information on census research on FreedomCenter.org. One page of stuff that we pretty much already know, but it's always a good to be reminded of some things!
Netplaces.com has a sweet little article written by Kimberly Powell on jewels we can find in all the special census schedules. If you haven't worked with any of the special schedules yet, this article will get you ready to jump in.
Perhaps my favorite site so far for Schedule 2 is an essay written by David E. Paterson on Afrigeneas which points out that the schedules were controversial and rewritten specifically to exclude the names of the individual slaves, places of birth, etc. It's really a very interesting essay, but be warned it may get your blood going when you have to read through the prejudice of the past.
As always, if you have any trouble viewing or downloading the spreadsheet, just comment or send me an email and I'll see what I can do to fix it. So far there hasn't been any trouble since the very first sheet I posted.
When you view the census through Google documents it does appear as if it were 3 pages, but rest assured that when downloaded it looks like the image at the top of the blog and in one simple page. The sheet is locked so you can't accidentally erase the headers and you can only input in the blanks.
One word of warning. I couldn't figure out how to wrap the text so the cells would fill in the entire left side of the form and then start again in the right column. So right now when you hit "tab" it will move across the entire row before wrapping around. I've been trying to look up ways to assign cell order, but so far, no good. Just keep your eyes on where you're typing!
Let me know if there are any mistakes as well. I'm sure you can imagine my eyes were starting to go crossed by the time I was done with this form! Corrections and suggestions are always welcome!
Next week I'll be traveling back home to Texas so we'll see if I can get the next schedule out and ready to go before then! Until next time, have fun tending those roots!

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 05, 2013
The website BetterDigestion.org has published an educational article about ways to ensure healthy digestion for women. The article provides tips and tricks to avoid digestive issues, including gas, bloating and diarrhea.
An informative article from BetterDigestion.org details the importance of healthy digestion for women. The author discusses how eating certain foods, staying hydrated and supplementation with multivitamins and probiotics prevents digestive issues in women, including gas, bloating, diarrhea and constipation.
Nearly 75% of digestive disorders are diagnosed in women, this includes bloating, diarrhea, constipation,IBS and abdominal pain. Most of these digestive disorders are the result of environmental factors, including stress and diet.
The article describes how missing meals causes digestive issues as well as weight gain. Missing meals causes energy level to crash and blood sugar to drop; causing the body to crave sweet or salty foods.
The article also details how fresh fruit and vegetables are the best sources of vitamins and minerals, but a busy schedule may limit access to such foods. Supplementing with a high-quality multivitamin ensures the body is not missing out on important vitamins and minerals; making it less likely to experience digestive disorders. Evidence suggests that vitamins and minerals may be the best defense against diseases such as heart disease, cancer and stroke. A daily multivitamin also provides antioxidants, which neutralize free radicals, preventing them from causing damage to the body.
Maintaining proper hydration plays an important role in ensuring healthy digestion. In addition to ridding the body of harmful toxins, water allows proper transportation of nutrients throughout the body. Symptoms of dehydration include lack of energy, confusion, muscle and joint pain and headaches. The article recommends that women drink a minimum of 2 liters, or 64 ounces, of water every day; more if actively exercising.
Packing nutritious snacks is a great way for women to maintain digestive health while on the go. The article details how fresh organic fruits vegetables are great snacks; carrots, snap peas, apples, oranges and bananas all travel well and provide required vitamins and nutrients. Whole grain cereal is another great choice; mix into low-fat Greek yogurt for a high protein, low-fat healthy snack choice. In addition to providing muscle building protein, yogurt is rich in probiotics, which are key in maintaining digestive health. Probiotics are actually "good" bacteria which balance harmful, illness-causing bacteria found in the digestive tract; keeping the digestive tract healthy and functioning as it should.
More information on digestive health is available at http://betterdigestion.org/healthy-digestion-for-women.
About: BetterDigestion.com is a new website that was launched in March of 2013 in order to provide premier content for healthy digestion and overall health, specifically by controling hormone and bacteria found naturally in the body. Recent topics have included Cheat Foods for Fat Loss, Good Bacteria for Food, Hormones for Weight Control, Fat Blasting Foods, Digestive Disorders: Probiotics for Gut Healthy, as well as several other highly informative articles to help people understand the connection between digestion and overall health.
A free eBook on Digestive Health is available at http://betterdigestion.org/digestion-women. The free eBook has been made available to show people which natural foods they can begin to eat to improve overall digestive health and weight control.

If you ride a motorcycle, there are many good reasons to get motorcycle insurance. The biggie: most (though not all) states require at least bodily injury and property damage liability coverage. And, of course, it's always smart to have protection in case of an accident or theft.
But, like the bike itself, motorcycle insurance can be a versatile beast. And like a stunt rider, it can sometimes leave you saying, "I didn't know it could do that!" Hop in the sidecar while we take you through some surprising facts about motorcycle coverage.
1. You can insure almost any type of motorcycle
Think you can't insure your bike because it's been customized from end to end or it's a classic from the '50s? Not so. Through Esurance, you can get coverage for 99 percent of the bikes on the road — cruisers, sport bikes, modified bikes, antiques, and even bikes built from a kit.
2. You can get coverage for your snowmobile, scooter, ATV — even your Segway or golf cart
"But wait, those aren't motorcycles!" Well spotted, my friend. Nonetheless, many insurers (including Esurance) cover leisure vehicles under their motorcycle policies in certain states. Good thing, too, since many states require liability coverage for ATVs, snowmobiles, mopeds, and such — and most car insurance or homeowners policies offer little or no protection for leisure vehicles.
Even vehicles you might not think about insuring, like golf carts and Segways, are often covered by motorcycle insurance.
Why would you want insurance for a golf cart? What's next, slice insurance? According to a recent study, golf cart injuries jumped 132 percent between 1990 and 2006. Golf carts aren't just being used on the links — they're also being driven more and more frequently on streets and trails, and they don't have seat belts, stability controls, or doors. So liability insurance and comprehensive coverage (not to mention medical payments coverage) is a good idea. (Taking it slow is an even better idea.)
Segways can also be surprisingly dangerous. In fact, a fall from a Segway is more likely to warrant a hospital admission than being struck by a car while on foot. So here again, medical payments coverage is worth considering.

3. Motorcycle insurance can help keep your holiday from going kaput
Most insurers offer the same type of protections for motorcycles as they do for cars: property damage and bodily injury liability, comprehensive coverage, collision coverage, and medical payments coverage.
But there are a range of other coverages that can be especially useful on road trips. Towing and labor coverage helps pay the costs if your motorcycle or snowmobile breaks down. Trip interruption coverage will help pay for lodging, food, and transportation if you get stranded. And if you rent a bike or recreation vehicle during your vacation, your collision and comprehensive coverage will likely protect you for that too.
4. Motorcycle insurance can cover your protective gear
Along with your vehicle itself, you can get coverage for the stuff you need to ride it safely. Items like helmets, riding leathers, and snowmobile gloves don't come cheap, but if something happens to your gear, your motorcycle insurance can help replace it.
5. You can get a discount just for being a homeowner
Depending on where you live, Esurance offers a multitude of ways to get discounts on motorcycle insurance: owning a home, taking a safety course, being a careful rider, and insuring another vehicle along with your bike (just to name a few).
Like the best roads for riding, life is full of twists and turns. But, with the right motorcycle coverage, you'll be ready for almost anything that comes your way.

Similarly to the way all the parts of a car engine function together to make the vehicle run, family members have specific roles they fill that cause the family to operate the way it does. Families will benefit from family counseling because when something is wrong within the family system, every member can benefit from change. The good news about family therapy is that when one person begins to change, it effects change in everyone.

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Family Therapy can prove to be vital for blended families or families dealing with death or divorce. My approach to family therapy involves allowing each member of the family their time to talk and process the changes in their life, and then present each members views and feelings to the other members of the family. Often the issues that arise in families comes from a place of poor communication skills verses mental illness or disorders. I use emotion-based techniques along with solution-focused methods of therapy to help a family function in a healthy manner.

Families reach out for help when there is a situation that has an negative impact and is related to the functioning of all family members. Issues of addiction, mood regulation, behavior problems, separation or divorce issues, and communication difficulties are common reasons for requesting help.. Family therapy helps with supporting the hierarchy of the family, the parents, and helping the communication flow more easily so that every one can be understood and appropriate actions can be taken. In the past several years I have focused on helping adult children and their parents speak together about common concerns and come to improved understanding of one another.

It's one of the strangest things I've ever seen in this job, especially when you consider so many gamers spend so much of their time loathing the companies they represent. But when it comes to the actual men and women running giant video game publishers, there's a lot of love in the house.
We saw this most recently with Sony boss Kaz Hirai in the leadup to the reveal of the PS4, but it's been going on for a very long time, even back to our own, uh, special relationships with J Allard and Phil Harrison. Nintendo's executives normally come in for especially fond treatment.
There's no single, logical explanation for this gif-based Stockholm Syndrome, but Leigh Alexander over on Gamasutra does a good job at singling out some of the less logical ones, which include personification, a need for "mascots" and, obviously, the fact many hardcore gaming fans are just a little bit crazy.

Scoliosis is an abnormal curvature of the spine, or backbone. Instead of a straight vertical line from the neck to the buttocks, the spine has a C- or S-shape.
Types of scoliosis include:
Structural—curvature with spinal deformity:
- Congenital
- Syndromic
- Idiopathic
- Functional—curvature without spinal deformity
Scoliosis may also be described as infantile, juvenile, or adolescent based on the child's age at onset. Children may also have kyphosis, which is an abnormal forward curve, usually the upper back.
The different types of scoliosis have different causes.
Structural scoliosis—classified by the cause of the vertebral body defect:
- Congenital—defect occurs during fetal development
- Syndromic—defect occurs as a result of an underlying health condition that affects the nerves, muscles, or bones in the back and spine
- Idiopathic—defect occurs without a specific cause, but is likely due to a combination of multiple genetic factors
Functional scoliosis may be caused by:
- Muscle imbalances
- Differing leg lengths
- Conditions that cause muscles to remain tense and spasm
In some cases, scoliosis may be caused by damage to the vertebral body from:
- Injury
- Infection
- Tumors
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your child's risk of developing syndromic scoliosis include having conditions that affect muscles and nerves, such as muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy .
Idiopathic scoliosis is more common during the rapid growth phase of adolescence. Family history of scoliosis may also increase your child's chance of developing scoliosis.
Girls are more likely to have more severe curves. Scoliosis severity may also be influenced by:
- Delayed puberty in boys
- Delayed puberty or first period in girls
In most cases, scoliosis doesn't have symptoms that can be felt. It is generally detected during a screening test or doctor's visit, but may be noticed by the child or another person.
Some schools have scoliosis screening programs . If scoliosis is detected in school, you will be advised to follow-up with your doctor.
Scoliosis may cause:
- Uneven shoulders
- Prominent shoulder blade or ribs
- Uneven waist
- An elevated hip
- Leaning to one side
- Chronic back pain—rare in teens, but more common in adults
More severe cases of scoliosis can lead to:
- Body image issues
- Breathing difficulties due to pressure on the lungs and heart from a compressed rib cage
- Rarely, cor pulmonale—right-sided heart failure caused by high blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs
You will be asked about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Scoliosis can be diagnosed on examination of the back and spine. The exam may include:
- Assessing posture and spinal curvature in the upright position
Adam's forward bend test to:
- Look at spinal curvature
- Detect imbalances in the rib cage
- Look for other abnormalities along the back
- Pattern of movement while walking
- Checking the skin to look for abnormal lesions
- Scoliometer—a measurement device used to assess the curvature and rotation of the spine
X-rays are usually done to:
- Check the severity of scoliosis by measuring the Cobb angle
- Detect vertebral or structural abnormalities
- Assess level and pace of bone development.
Your child's doctor may recommend other tests to see if the scoliosis is caused by an underlying health condition.
Functional scoliosis is reversible with treatment of the underlying condition.
Children with structural types of scoliosis will be referred to a spinal specialist if treatment is needed.
Scoliosis treatment depends on many factors. These include:
- Severity of the curve
- Child's age
- Child's stage of growth
- If back pain is involved, or other if your child has other symptoms
In general, children with a mild curve are treated with observation. This means your child will have regular follow-up exams and sometimes x-rays to see if the curve worsens. Frequency of follow-up appointments depends on age, stage of growth, and the severity of the curve. Physical therapy may be helpful to manage pain and optimize your child's function.
Other treatment methods include:
Bracing or Casting
The goal of bracing or casting is to prevent curves from getting worse. The doctor may recommend that your child wear a back brace or a cast if they are still growing and the curve is more than 20-25 degrees, but less than 40 degrees or has progressed more than 10 degrees. Once growing stops, the need for more treatment will depend on the size of the curve and how it affects your child's appearance and function. Physiotherapy scoliosis-specific exercises may also be advised.
Bracing may not be helpful in girls who have had their period for more than a year, in children who have attained full growth, or are within one year of full pelvic bone growth. It may not be helpful in infants as well.
Bracing will feel uncomfortable at first. Children will need lots of support to wear the brace as prescribed, as well as encouragement to foster a positive body image.
In severe cases where the curvature is greater than 40-45 degrees, your child's doctor may advise surgery to lessen the curve or stop it from worsening if they are still growing. If they are done or almost done growing, it may be recommended for a curve greater than 50 degrees.
Surgery in teenagers typically involves fusing the vertebrae of the spine together or the use of internal rods to decrease the curvature. Surgery in younger children usually does not involve fusion and may use rods that can be lengthened as your child grows. Hospitalization can last 5-7 days. Recovery can take several months. Surgical techniques using stapling methods or implants, as well as other surgical techniques, are also available, but some are still experimental.
There are no current guidelines for preventing scoliosis because the cause is usually unknown.

You can always count on the In Memoriam part of the Oscars to start some controversy.
Dave Grohl gave a beautiful rendition of The Beatles' "Blackbird" during the Academy Awards 2016 In Memoriam TV tribute, and while viewers watched clips and images of the talent we lost this year, including David Bowie and Alan Rickman (to name a few), the montage came to an end without paying recognition to some fallen stars.
Geoffrey Lewis was omitted, and his daughter, actress Juliette Lewis was quick to call it out. "My dad #GeoffreyLewis was beloved and contributed over 220 roles in film and tv. @TheAcademy maybe you can remember to include him nxt yr," she tweeted.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
But there was one other star whose snub from the telecast really got people going – where was Abe Vigoda? [[370512491,C]]
It turns out Vigoda, along with other stars, weren't exactly left out. They were just not shown on the telecast. The Academy included Vigoda, and other late stars, in their In Memoriam photo gallery online.
Vigoda's family is demanding an apology from the Oscars, according to TMZ. "Last night the Oscars dismayed many and cheated Abe Vigoda by not paying tribute to the immense professional energies and talents that he brought to the industry," Vigoda's daughter Carol Vigoda Fuchs said.
Vigoda, who played mobster Sal Tessio in "The Godfather," died in January at the age of 94. Vigoda was also known for his roles in the movies "Joe Versus The Volcano" and "Look Who's Talking," and for playing NYPD detective Phil Fish on the TV sitcoms "Barney Miller" and "Fish." [[370455391,C]]

Finding an athletic scholarship can be a difficult, but it's easier if you know the steps that need to be taken to give you the best shot during the complicated recruiting process.
When does the recruiting process start?
1. The athletic recruiting process started yesterday. You don't have to look far on the Internet to find lists of college sports prospects that are still in junior high. Ideally, you should begin thinking about athletic recruiting in the seventh or eighth grade, and by the beginning of freshman year you should have a good understanding of the NCAA rules and core course requirements. The recruiting process is complicated and time consuming, and waiting until the last minute is never a good idea if you're looking for an athletic scholarship.
How do I get discovered?
2. College coaches find athletic recruits based on third-party evaluations from trusted resources. You're an outstanding middle blocker. You run through linebackers like they're butter. You can routinely bury open three-pointers. Having the skill on the court or field doesn't necessarily mean you'll be spotted by college programs. College coaches work with experienced talent evaluators and rely on online resources to identify and discover top athletic prospects.
How do coaches evaluate prospects?
3. Make sure coaches see your highlight video and use the Internet as your most powerful recruiting tool. Highlight videos help college coaches determine talent. But coaches don't have the time to look at every video they receive, and they certainly can't spend hours scouring YouTube for clips. When a highlight video comes from a trusted recruiting expert at NCSA, that video doesn't get lost in the shuffle. Easy access to video highlights and statistics lets coaches find players that fit their system. Showcasing your skills on the Internet makes the athletic recruiting process easier for both you and the coaches you want to impress.
Where am I qualified to play?
4. Less than 1% of college athletes earn a Division I full ride. More than 1,800 colleges have athletic programs and 94% of them are outside of Division I. The majority of college athletes don't compete in Division I, so set your expectations accordingly. Most college athletes are at the Division II, Division III, NAIA or junior college level. An experienced talent evaluator can tell you exactly which level you should shoot for and where you're likely to find the most success.
What is my coach's role?
5. Your coach can take care of your development on the field or on the court, but getting an athletic scholarship is your responsibility. Ultimately, your athletic ability is what earns you a scholarship, but the recruiting process requires a lot of work off of the playing field. Your high school or club coach probably can't dedicate the time that the athletic recruiting process requires.

Proxies and tor are cheap and are only good to bypass ip bans, no more.
VPN is better, but there are even better solutions.

The Use of Works of Art in a 2nd Semester German Course by Dagmar Jaeger
This VoiceThread shows how students can engage with a work of art in an active, personal and innovative way while practicing new vocabulary and grammar structures in the target language.
American Art: Searching for Values by Constance Vidor
American Art: Searching for Values asks students to observe and interpret works of art from several different eras of American history. An advance organizer at the beginning of the Voicethread shows the students how to describe what they see in the image and then draw conclusions about what these details might suggest about values and ideas that were important to the artist or to the patron.
Higher Ed Aztec Art by Janice Robertson
This VoiceThread shows what can happen when VoiceThreads are woven into a 500-level graduate/undergraduate seminar on Aztec Art, and everyone has the ability to see what everyone else is doing--a surprise ending turns out to be a game-changer.
Higher Ed Pre-Columbian Art History by Janice Robertson
This VoiceThread shows what can happen when students have the opportunity to expand on class teachings and assigned readings, incorporating material of their choice into an art history class: in this case, a 200-level undergraduate course on Pre-Columbian Art and Civilization.
8th Grade - Colors of the Night from Mrs. Brosnan
My goal was to further enhance their Art History knowledge that by using VoiceThread enabled me to extend my teaching "outside of the class room".
K-12 art, poetry, and music from Erin Berg
This VT is an example of the power of collaboration using technology. This encompasses art through words, visuals, and music.

Hi there, long time reader/forum browser but newly signed up and hoping to add my humble opinion here and there, where appropriate. I have no intention of over stepping the line as a newbie!
Big castle fan (thats a big fan of castle, not me being physically big, or the castle being big, but actually don't have any problem with BIG castles, I just don't have the time or resources to build them). Got back into LEGO with after buying set 7040-1: Dwarves' Mine Defender in 2008, followed by 7036-1: Dwarves' Mine the following Christmas (an awesome set).
I'd describe myself as more of a Lego enthusiast and collector than MOCer due to time/space/resources, but do enjoy looking at other peoples MOCs and gaining ideas for smaller builds.
Fav set that I now own (not including the two above) would be 10193-1: Medieval Market Village (such a good build), and anything involving Wizards, Wolfpack or chefs...

During winter, the list of activities in Mont Tremblant is seemingly endless highlighted by downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, tubing, dog sledding, skating and snowshoeing. Once the snow melts, hiking, mountain biking and climbing and golf are a few of the draws. Moreover, Mont Tremblant, a picturesque, pedestrian village is brimming with restaurants, cafes, boutique shops, bars and pubs. Consider staying in a holiday rental in Mont Tremblant instead of mundane hotel room. Why not stay in a spacious, luxury chalet, an amenity-loaded condo near the slopes or a plush townhome with a fireplace, instead of a cramped hotel room with little storage and few amenities. We'll provide you with lots of unbiased user reviews so you can find the ideal property for your family.
Fantastic snowskiing on Mont Tremblant's fabulous runs is a no brainer in the winter months. During the spring and summer months, a family favorite destination is the Parc national du Mont-Tremblant, which offers excellent hiking trails along the rim of the lake and fishing, canoeing and camping opportunities. A great family activity is the "Birds of Prey" show at the top of Mont Tremblant from late June to early September, where you'll see spectacular birds fly right above your head.

The last time we saw Batduck and the Riddler, they went beak to beak over Duckie Gaga in "Poker Face" (click here to view). The Riddler got away, but he is back with a more dastardly scheme after meeting up with Catwoman. Just see for yourself in "The Purr-fect Crime"……..
Queen Elizaduck: "Look Duckess, Isn't the Yellow Diamond Duckie the most beautiful jewel you have ever set your eyes on!"
Duckess: "Yes, it is indeed! It looks so nice here at Duckingham Palace."
Just as Queen Elizaduck and the Duckess leave for afternoon tea, a felonious feline by the name of Catwoman sneaks into the palace with a plan of her own.
Catwoman: "I must have the Yellow Diamond Duckie! It is purr-fect for my lair."
And so the Yellow Diamond Duckie goes missing…..
Meanwhile back in Gotham City….
Riddler: "My, my, what do we have here?"
Catwoman: "It is the coveted Yellow Diamond Duckie from Duckingham Palace. Isn't it purr-dy.."
Riddler: "You know…..we should let Batduck know we have it so he will come looking for us and we can destroy him. Then we can take over Gotham City….then Duckingham Palace!"
Catwoman: "Sounds like the purr-fect plan……as long as I can keep the Yellow Diamond Duckie for my lair."
Riddler: "Now, let me just go and text Batduck and Robin with a fun little riddle. Haha Heehee!"
Robin: " Batduck, I just got a text from the Riddler….it says, WHY DID THE DUCK CROSS THE POND?……"
Batduck: "It seems the Riddler is up to something….but what is the answer to the riddle?….Hmmmm….Oh……TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE!" The Riddler is up to no good across the pond in England…..but where in England?"
Robin: "Well that's easy, Batduck…..The Riddler just checked into Foursquare…..but it appears that's he's at 47th and 5th….in Gotham City."
Batduck: "That's the diamond district. Let's go see what this shady scoundrel is scheming."
Batduck: "Ah ha! Found you, Riddler."
Robin: "And he's got the coveted Yellow Diamond Duckie from Duckingham Palace!"
Catwoman: "Well hello Batduck. You're catnip to a girl like me….fetching, allurrrrr-ing, and to die for…..and I have 9 lives."
What will happen next???? Will Batduck fall under Catwoman's spell??? Will the Riddler get away with the Yellow Diamond Duckie??? What will happen to Duckingham Palace??? Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 2 of "The Purr-fect Crime."

Extended Camp Coordinator
Excited to flex your creative muscles by running your own educational program for kids? Great at managing details and building relationships?
Extended Care Coordinators create a unique program within the larger camp day, which expands the opportunity for fun at camp. With four hours of extended care programming each day, there is a huge potential for greater impact. In this role, you'll bring to life a program as dynamic as our campers, ensuring they each find a space to feel at home while providing an experience parents also feel great about. Experienced program managers and visionaries wanted. Learn more about this role and working at Galileo in our jobs video gallery.
We value having divergent thinkers who bring various experiences and viewpoints to the table at Galileo. We strongly encourage members of underrepresented groups to apply.
Galileo's mission is to develop innovators who envision and create a better world. We know it's bold. We also know that we can't achieve it without asking staff to be role models of an innovator's mindset—visionary, courageous, collaborative, determined and reflective. It's not always easy. Camp staffers work hard. Very hard. You can expect days in which there's a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it. But part of what makes our culture great is that no one is too proud to complete any task that needs doing. Our camp staffers bring camp magic to life—for campers, and for themselves.
This isn't your average summer recreation gig. Galileans are expected to take ownership of their own performance and make this place better every day. People with a can-do attitude thrive here and those with a victim mentality don't. We manage to keep this level of performance expectation high in a relaxed environment; we take our work, not ourselves, seriously.
Being a Galilean means jumping into action to bring camp magic to life. Depending on the day, that could mean creating a gorgeous sign that highlights the Galileo Innovation Approach, donning a tutu for a skit, or playing a board game with two campers to build connection. Galileans know what it means to be a vital part of a team. Galileans want to grow. Galileans like to have fun at work. Galileans love sharing in—and helping to create—joyful experiences. After all, we run summer camps. You get the point.
Purposeful work in a playful, supportive environment. Plus, you'll join a lifelong community that stands for innovation, credibility, and expertise. We're a certified B Corporation that is ranked #1 on the Best Places to Work in the Bay Area, were named one of Forbes' Best Small Companies and a Top 100 Impact Company, and are authentically committed to inclusion and equity company-wide—which includes joyfully upholding a robust financial assistance program.
