Michael K. Powell
If you look at the history of the American capital market, there's probably no innovation more important than the idea of generally accepted accountancy principles.

The collaboration between Arcadia Biosciences and Bioseed Research India, on the other hand, is essentially a research-based commercial effort to exploit the genes that influence ripening, flavour and nutrition of tomato. It is aimed at evolving value-added tomato strains for the benefit of both tomato growers and consumers.
Arcadia, a US-based agricultural technology firm, has identified genetic variations that allow tomatoes to ripen on the plant and yet remain durable enough to withstand packaging and transportation. This has been made possible through a non-transgenic breeding technology called "tilling", which uses molecular screens to detect minute variations in a plant's genome. It enables plant breeders to precisely identify useful traits and keep track of them during breeding cycles. This technology will be available to Bioseed Research India, a fully owned subsidiary of DCM Shriram Consolidated Ltd (DSCL). This technology will allow DSCL to expand its hybrid tomato seed development programme to evolve India-specific, long shelf-life tomato hybrids with fruit qualities preferred by local consumers. The new hybrids, which may take three years to develop and another one year to commercialise, will help improve transportability and prolong the shelf life by two weeks in addition to the normal seven to 10 days.

- Target and Neiman Marcus team up for holiday designer extravaganza
Wall Street is worried that Target's holiday sales were weaker than expected, as the Minneapolis-based discounter prepares to report its December sales on Thursday, Jan. 3.
Daniel Binder of Jefferies & Co. downgraded Target shares from a buy to a hold, citing a series of holiday issues including its designer partnership with Neiman Marcus, which Binder called "a flop."
Target shares lost 35 cents Wednesday to $58.82, even as the broader market pushed sharply higher.
"While we had high hopes for Target this season, we believe the company continued to struggle in a few areas, including poor online execution, soft December sales, poor results with the Neiman Marcus merchandising initiative, increased price competition (greater price matching) and more markdowns," Binder wrote in a research note Wednesday, Jan. 2.
Meanwhile, Target has further discounted the items in its Neiman Marcus designer partnership. They're now 70 percent off.

What does it take to be a member of the Great Britain hockey team?
The Great Britain men's and women's squads are 'centrally based' at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre in Buckinghamshire. This means that the vast majority of their training takes place here and most athletes live nearby.
Great Britain's athletes are up there with the fittest sportspeople around. Typically, members of both the men's and women's squads are put through their paces on the hockey pitch at Bisham Abbey for at least 12 hours a week. This is supported by a minimum of two gym sessions a week in the athletes' gym, a top facility run by the English Institute of Sport (EIS) and accessible only to elite athletes. On top of these team training sessions, GB hockey athletes also undertake individual training on the hockey pitch and in the gym almost every day.
Every training session and international match is captured on video and the athletes can access the performance analysis suite to review video clips of themselves and the team whenever they want. It is thanks to investment from UK Sport that we have been able to implement this technology. Its support, and that of the EIS, whose sports science provision supports the teams with strength and conditioning, physiotherapy, nutrition, performance lifestyle and psychology, have been instrumental in helping our teams to climb the world rankings and win medals on the international stage.
The Great Britain hockey teams exist solely to compete at the Olympic Games. During a four year Olympic cycle, Great Britain can compete at world level events such as the Champions Trophy but in other years our international teams play separately as England, Scotland and Wales.
Great Britain Hockey - the organisation - is responsible for the preparation, selection and performance of the men's and women's GB hockey squads and their participation in the Olympic Games and other competitions and tournaments. Ultimately, it is the body charged with delivering Olympic success for the sport of hockey.
For an Olympic Games, Great Britain Hockey nominates its squads to the British Olympic Association, the National Olympic Committee for Great Britain. Our athletes, coaches and support staff then compete at the Games for Great Britain under the banner of the wider Team GB, run by the BOA. At London 2012, the British hockey players will be part of the largest British contingent of 550 athletes.
World Rankings
Great Britain's world ranking is that of the nominated country which, for the 2012-2016 Olympic cycle, is England.
Great Britain women: 4th
Great Britain men: 4th

I like the change for the standard player. MM-Ultimate is still my fav though, only wish that the highlighting problem was able to be resolved and then it would be perfect.

1.3 Measurements
Learning Objective
- Express quantities properly, using a number and a unit.
A coffee maker's instructions tell you to fill the coffeepot with 4 cups of water and use 3 scoops of coffee. When you follow these instructions, you are measuring. When you visit a doctor's office, a nurse checks your temperature, height, weight, and perhaps blood pressure (Figure 1.6 "Measuring Blood Pressure"). The nurse is also measuring.
Figure 1.6 Measuring Blood Pressure
A nurse or a doctor measuring a patient's blood pressure is taking a measurement.

Chemists measure the properties of matter and express these measurements as quantities. A quantityAn amount of something. is an amount of something and consists of a numberHow many (or how much) of something in a quantity. and a unitThe scale of measurement for a quantity.. The number tells us how many (or how much), and the unit tells us what the scale of measurement is. For example, when a distance is reported as "5 kilometers," we know that the quantity has been expressed in units of kilometers and that the number of kilometers is 5. If you ask a friend how far he or she walks from home to school, and the friend answers "12" without specifying a unit, you do not know whether your friend walks—for example, 12 miles, 12 kilometers, 12 furlongs, or 12 yards. Both a number and a unit must be included to express a quantity properly.
To understand chemistry, we need a clear understanding of the units chemists work with and the rules they follow for expressing numbers. The next two sections examine the rules for expressing numbers.
Example 3
Identify the number and the unit in each quantity.
- one dozen eggs
- 2.54 centimeters
- a box of pencils
- 88 meters per second
- The number is one, and the unit is dozen eggs.
- The number is 2.54, and the unit is centimeter.
- The number 1 is implied because the quantity is only a box. The unit is box of pencils.
- The number is 88, and the unit is meters per second. Note that in this case the unit is actually a combination of two units: meters and seconds.
Skill-Building Exercise
99 bottles of soda
60 miles per hour
32 fluid ounces
98.6 degrees Fahrenheit
Identify the number and the unit in each quantity.
Concept Review Exercise
What are the two necessary parts of a quantity?
The two necessary parts are the number and the unit.
To Your Health: Dosages
As we saw in the chapter-opening essay, a medicine can be more harmful than helpful if it is not taken in the proper dosage. A dosage (or dose) is the specific amount of a medicine that is known to be therapeutic for an ailment in a patient of a certain size. Dosages of the active ingredient in medications are usually described by units of mass, typically grams or milligrams, and generally are equated with a number of capsules or teaspoonfuls to be swallowed or injected. (For more information about mass, see Section 1.6 "The International System of Units".) The amount of the active ingredient in a medicine is carefully controlled so that the proper number of pills or spoonfuls contains the proper dose.
Most drugs must be taken in just the right amount. If too little is taken, the desired effects will not occur (or will not occur fast enough for comfort); if too much is taken, there may be potential side effects that are worse than the original ailment. Some drugs are available in multiple dosages. For example, tablets of the medication levothyroxine sodium, a synthetic thyroid hormone for those suffering from decreased thyroid gland function, are available in 11 different doses, ranging from 25 micrograms (µg) to 300 µg. It is a doctor's responsibility to prescribe the correct dosage for a patient, and it is a pharmacist's responsibility to provide the patient with the correct medicine at the dosage prescribed. Thus, proper quantities—which are expressed using numbers and their associated units—are crucial for keeping us healthy.
Key Takeaway
- Identify a quantity properly with a number and a unit.
Why are both parts of a quantity important when describing it?
Why are measurements an important part of any branch of science, such as chemistry?
You ask a classmate how much homework your chemistry professor assigned. Your classmate answers, "twenty." Is that a proper answer? Why or why not?
Identify the number and the unit in each quantity.
- five grandchildren
- 16 candles
- four score and seven years
- 40 days and 40 nights
- 12.01 grams
- 9.8 meters per second squared
- 55 miles per hour
- 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit
The number states how much, and the unit states of what. Without the number and the unit, a quantity cannot be properly communicated.
No, it is not a proper answer; you do not know whether the professor meant homework problem number 20 or 20 homework problems.

Dinner in the sky.
During a year-long food festival, John Brunton discovers the best of Brussels aboard a night tram.
Though Brussels is the unofficial capital of Europe, given the European Commission has its headquarters there, the city rarely rates when people speak of gourmet destinations. Instead, down-to-earth Belgians have long been caricatured as dining exclusively on mussels and chips with mugs of their famous beer.
The truth is, Brussels is one of Europe's foodie havens, with young chefs running dazzling Michelin-star restaurants and a lively world cuisine scene that encompasses Moroccan, Congolese and Vietnamese restaurants as well as plenty of Scandinavian dishes inspired by Copenhagen's Noma restaurant.
Food miles... Dining in the tram. Photo: John Brunton
The best of Brussels can be tasted in this year's food festival, irreverently named Brusselicious. Of more than 50 events scheduled, though, one stands out: an haute menu served on a tram as it trundles around the city on a two-hour sightseeing route. The "Tram Experience" runs from Tuesday to Sunday for the rest of the year.
I book the 9.30pm ride and wait at the stop outside the iconic Palais de Justice, whose monumental dome has been wrapped in scaffolding for so many years it resembles a permanent Christo installation. Among commuters waiting to head home is a smartly dressed group of 34 diners.
A gleaming white vintage tram whooshes out of the darkness and a steward steps forward to shepherd us on. The tram's carriages have been transformed into chic dining rooms, a state-of-the-art kitchen and a toilet; there will be no stops for the next two hours.

The launch of the Tram Experience was delayed while moulds where installed on tabletops to stop glasses and crockery sliding off. Then the six Michelin-starred chefs selected to create the menus for the year-long program had the complex job of ensuring their recipes could be prepared mostly in advance, to be finished on board in the tiny kitchen.
Each chef is creating four seasonal menus using Belgian produce to be served throughout the year. One of the chefs is Lionel Rigolet, of Brussel's gastronomic temple Comme Chez Soi. "While several of my colleagues chose to reinvent classic Belgian favourites like carbonnade de boeuf, I went in a different direction," he tells me earlier, in his stationary kitchen. "[I'm] offering diners the same dishes they can find on my menu in Comme Chez Soi, a 'partage' of my cuisine. And many have already booked a table here at the restaurant to try the same dishes they experienced on the tram to see the difference."
Rigolet's tram menu includes dishes such as veal cannelloni in a creme de foie gras with green olives; and a Doyenne pear poached in Poire Williams liqueur with citrus fruits, kaffir lime and Calcutta tea.

As my tram cruises the Avenue Louise, a leafy boulevard that Belgians consider their Champs-Elysees, a waiter serves the first drinks - six glasses of wine and three courses are included in the €75 [$95] ticket. Tonight's menu has been composed by Belgian-Korean chef Sang-hoon Degeimbre, an admirer of Spanish celebrity chef Ferran Adria.
None of the name chefs are aboard; they supervise the preparation of their recipes and collaborate with genial chef Denis Roberty, who works in the tram's open galley with one assistant.
Have there been mobile kitchen mishaps? "No. Well, not until this evening," Roberty says. "This evening's earlier Tram Experience had to be cancelled because, en route to pick up passengers, the driver had to make an emergency stop and we lost absolutely everything - all the place settings, crockery and glasses, not to mention all the dishes I was preparing in the kitchen."
He adds, optimistically, "but this has to be a one-in-a-thousand incident."
The dining-room mood moves quickly from a little stiff - well, nobody really knows what to expect - to lively, then to a party-like atmosphere. The food tonight is impressive.
The meal begins with a surprise when the classic Belgian moules-frites appears with plenty of succulent mussels but not a chip in sight. Instead they appear as a mysterious foam that magically has the flavour of crisp frites. The main course is a delicious take on blanquette de veau, followed by a wicked dessert called dame blanche - a vanilla ice-cream sundae with hot chocolate and cream.
The waiters do a terrific job weaving up and down the narrow aisle as the tram shifts from side to side and the city seems to flash past like a silent movie. It's almost midnight when we stop outside the Palais de Justice, elated and well fed.
I ask the chef what his plans are. He's hungry. "But enough gourmet dining," he says, grinning. "The waiters, the driver and I will be stopping off at one of the most famous frites stands in town for a cornet of chips accompanied, of course, by a dollop of mayonnaise."
The best of Brusselicious
This inaugural food festival, organised in the city of Brussels, is a year-long celebration of not just the surprising cuisine and local produce used by chefs in the Belgian capital and the surrounding Flemish and Walloon countryside, but also the multicultural influences that make this a cosmopolitan metropolis. And in the home town of Rene Magritte, you can expect a touch of the surreal. For all details, see brusselicious.be.
- Brusselicious XXL About 30 monumental surrealist sculptures are on display across the city, including a stork delivering a giant brussels sprout inside an even bigger mussel shell, and two brilliant interpretations of a cornet de frites — one filled with legs instead of chips, the other painted purple and laced up like a dominatrix boot. Until September 21.
- Picnic in the Parks Brussels is a surprisingly green city with some beautiful parks and each Sunday one will become a venue for a mega-picnic, with organic picnic hampers accompanied by free classical music. On May 1-September 30.
- Themed dinners Throughout the year, Brusselicious hosts spectacular dinners in iconic venues — in the Natural Science Museum's dinosaur chamber and the historic Galerie du Roi, for example — and each dinner will explore an intriguing theme: Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, for example; Belgian wine; and moules frites.
- Dinner in the Sky Definitely the most dazzling event of the year, a floating restaurant is suspended 40 metres above the ground from a crane, with 22 diners inside served a gourmet meal cooked in front of them by a star chef. On June 4-July 1.
- Belgian Beer Weekend Brusselicious without beer would be unthinkable and for one weekend the Grand Place (aka Brussels City Hall) becomes a bar, with brewers, musicians and food. On August 30- September 2.
- Savouring Brussels! The slow-food movement is taking over the city for a week. The theme is carbon-zero "potagere": think vegetable gardens, street markets and more than 70 restaurants presenting slow-food menus. On September 17-23.
- Chocolate Week Brussels has irresistible chocolate boutiques on many street corners. Demonstrations of the art of le chocolatier and, of course, tastings are to be held during the week. On November 1-4.
- Chip festival Chip stalls are known as a fritkot and even sophisticated Belgian diners can't resist them. Follow a "frites walk" though the city and vote for your favourite chippy. On November 1-30.
- Winter wonders Brussels has one of Europe's biggest Christmas markets. This year's version will close the Brusselicious festivities with a Ferris wheel and ice rink on the old fish market site in Sainte-Catherine. There will be oysters, foie gras, champagne and mulled wine. On November 30-January 6.
Getting there
Lufthansa has a fare to Brussels from Sydney and Melbourne for about $2395 low-season return including tax. Fly Singapore Airlines to Singapore (about 8hr), then Lufthansa to Munich (about 13hr), then to Brussels (1hr 25min); see lufthansa.com. This fare allows travel via several Asian cities and return flight from another European city.

I don't know why I'm doing this. Carving a pumpkin isn't going to save you mega millions. Tracing a pumpkin stencil won't significantly boost your retirement nest egg or help you pay back your student loan. I should know. I've done the mathy math to see just how much moolah you'd save carving pumpkins, and the savings are frightfully abysmal. To be honest, the savings stink like a week old Jack O' Lantern.
But I'm not here to judge you (or your week old Jack O' Lantern). It's nearly Halloween, and I've come to the frugal conclusion (since I've done the math) that carving your own dang pumpkin face and using one of my free pumpkin stencils is a heck of a lot cheaper than buying some plastic ghoulish crap from Walmart, or Louis Vuitton. Louis Vuitton sells plastic ghoulish crap, right?
Frightfully Fun Halloween Cupcakes
Try these five easy Halloween Cupcakes for a frightfully delicious time.
AnygettingsuedbyLouisVuitton, carving pumpkins is fun. Halloween is funner. And turning an orange gourd into Charlie Brown is the funnest. (It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown). So download my free pumpkin stencils and tell Louis Vuitton (or Walmart) where they can stick the candle.
Note: When picking your pumpkin from the patch be sure to select a squash that suits the stencil. Some patterns work better on rounder, squarer, or taller pumpkins.

Pumpkin Stencil Instructions:
- Download and print the pumpkin stencil you like best. Or all of them. I won't tell.
- Use scissors to cut and remove the shaded stencil area.
- Make small incisions along the stencil to help it lay flat on the pumpkin face. Tape the edges of the stencil to the pumpkin.
- Transfer the pumpkin stencil pattern with a marker.
- Prepare your pumpkin by removing the top or base. Remove the pulp and seeds.
- Use a sharp knife to carve a scary face! See How to Carve a Pumpkin for a few tips!

Why become a VMC Certified Facilitator?
"Really good facilitation can bring a sense of the poetic into a group, often through the physical movements of the facilitator, or sometimes through their inclusion of the natural world The sounds of the ocean, or the stars at night, into the listening consciousness of the group. It can also bring a level of fun, excitement and sheer whimsy that can be hard to attain without a facilitator. As a professional musician, I welcome this kind of facilitation."
S. Snow, USA

Schools Roundup: Solar at Georgia High School and California Schools, Texas A&M CHP System, Illinois School District 57 HVAC
Mage Solar, a turnkey coordinator of PV systems, will provide a 1.1 MW solar PV system to Dublin City High School, in Dublin, Ga. The 4,898-module system will be spread out over several locations on campus and include roof top arrays, ground mounts and dual axis trackers. Evergreen Solar Services, a nationally operating installer company with focus on large commercial and utility scale installations, will construct, commission, and maintain the operation of the photovoltaic system. The solar consulting group Greenavations Power and Renewable Energy Equipment Leasing, a Georgia-based finance company, worked with Mage Solar to create the financing structure that will reduce the school's utility costs about 40 percent.
SolarCity announced a 1.5 MW solar power project that will bring renewable energy to eight Barstow Unified School District schools and facilities in California, including Cameron Elementary School, Crestline Elementary School, Henderson Elementary School, Montara Elementary School, Barstow Junior High School, Barstow High School, Central High School and the Barstow District Office. The solar installations are expected to save the district $112,000 in the first year and roughly $5.3 million over the next 20 years. The solar systems will offset an average of 70 percent of each of the eight facilities' electricity needs. Barstow also will join hundreds of other districts across the state in benefiting from state's net metering policy, which credits solar customers for the surplus clean energy their systems send to the grid.
Texas A&M's energy efficiency measures have saved the university about $140 million during the past decade, according to The Eagle. From 2002 to 2012, the campus grew by about 25 percent in terms of square footage, but its energy use decreased from 364 million BTUs per square foot to 214 BTUs, a 40 percent drop. A combination of reduced consumption and more efficiencies created the decrease. In 2012, the university installed a combined heating and power system that requires one-third less fuel than an off-campus power plant with similar output. The university recovers otherwise-wasted heat to provide space heating, cooling and domestic hot water. Also, the CHP system displaces grid-supplied power, increasing the reliability of the energy supply while reducing demands on existing transmission and distribution infrastructure.
After conducting an energy audit in 2012, School District 57 in Mount Prospect, Ill., is implementing a control schedule that ensures HVAC equipment runs less often when people are not in its four school buildings, saving an estimated $50,000 yearly, says the Chicago Tribune. In addition, the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) will pay experts to find inefficiencies in HVAC operations and recommend improvements that will pay for themselves in 18 months or less at District 57's Fairview and Lions Park schools. The District could save $35,000 yearly if all recommendations are implemented. DCEO also gave District 57 a grant for $64,000 for energy savings realized from installing new lights at its Lincoln and Westbrook schools last summer.

The atmosphere & interior are nice, but the sushi is horrible ! No taste in the rolls, very boring. You may want to go for the japanese steak or chicken items but do not go expecting sushi.
The atmosphere & interior are nice, but the sushi is horrible ! No taste in the rolls, very boring. You may want to go for the japanese steak or chicken items but do not go expecting sushi.
with this Japanese restaurant, the island has a culinary choice for all tastes. California Tuna roll is fantastic.
We were excited to discover that a sparkling new sushi/sashimi restaurant had opened on the island, as we'd enjoyed individual sashimi or crudo dishes and ceviche at other restaurants on Anguilla. Tokyo Bay is located on the third floor of the resort spa and immediately seemed out of place on the island. We particularly love the island breezes and wonderful... More
We went for dinner, tried the lobster teppanyaki and it was ok. My wife had some delicous fish though. A little pricey for what you get.
My husband and I have been to Tokyo Bay many many times and the service/food has always been nothing but fantastic! We even took my mom there who is a vegetarian and they made it a point to have the chef specially prepare dishes she could enjoy! I cannot recommend this place enough! Try it! You won't be sorry! :)... More
My husband and I and 3 friends ate here after arriving at the Cusinart for vacation late afternoon. This is a new addition to the resort and is one of a kind on the island. The food is authentic and beautifully presented. Service is attentive and the surroundings are typically what you would expect for a restaurant serving this food... More
We decided to try this restaurant our first night on Anguilla and were sorely disappointed. First of all, only the ONE manager knows anything about the food - the other servers had no idea. Second, the food was average to below average. I had the lobster paper pot which was basically miso soup heated in a paper funnel with lobster... More
When we asked where to get some good seafood on the island, our pilot recommended Tokyo Bay. It was very good and they have food that is cooked as well as raw!
Hyped as Anguilla's first authentic Japanese restaurant, my wife and I chose to go to Tokyo Bay in the Cuisinart resort for our only date night, while our kid was with a babysitter. It was clear from the start that the two or three Asian chefs were carrying the weight of the restaurant on their shoulders, because the help didn't... More
Excellent Sashimi and Sushi - good rolls and yummy meat dishes. A great addition to the islands restaurants. If you are staying for more than 5 days it's a great change of pace, compared to all the other excellent Anguillan restaurants.

Not in great shape but really fun for a kid, Sep 20, 2010 |
reviewer: Stephen
from Montclair, NJ |
The short "fairways" are narrow and lots of balls are lost. The driving matts and putting greens are not well maintained. Still, it's a pretty course and a lot of fun with a child since no one's in any hurry and it's only 9 holes. Also, it's only a mile or so away from the Essex county driving range, which has a great miniature golf course and decent pizzeria. |

Pitch and Putt at its worst, Jun 20, 2004 |
reviewer: Mike Frew
from Glen Ridge, NJ |
The entire course is designed like a bowling alley. Kids in bathing suits play tag and they steal your golf balls right in front of you. I have better greens in my backyard. Great place to practice your OB shots, because thats what the fairways feel like. Id give this dump zero stars if I had the option. |

In this economy when, it seems like the weathy have declared war on the middle class, I really don't want to see a muti million dollar plane. With all the cutbacks in education, health care and social services, are they, the wealthy, out of touch with reality. Instead of buying expensive play toys, why not try to help the less fortunate.

Gulfstream II, Seattle, Wa., April 8, 2010–The twinjet sustained structural damage to its left wing when it collided with a fuel truck while taxiing to the runway for a
Part 91 flight at Boeing Field/King County International Airport. VMC prevailed at
Cessna Citation 550, Reading, Pa., Aug. 3, 2008– While landing at Reading Regional Airport/Carl A. Spatz Field, following a Part 91 positioning flight from Pottstown, Pa., the Citation II/SP was substantially damaged when it struck a mowing tractor during roll-out. According to the tower controller on duty at the time, the Citation crew contacted him at eight miles out and was issued clearance to land on Runway 31.
Sabreliner NA-265-80, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Feb. 1, 2008–While taxiing the Sabreliner from the repair station–following a months-long stay for corrosion repairs–the pilots attempted to maneuver around a Cessna Caravan that had stopped, facing it on the same ramp. As it passed, the Sabreliner's left wing struck the Caravan's rotating propeller, causing damage to both aircraft.
Under a memorandum of understanding signed at last June's Paris airshow, IAI is working with Airbus to develop a semi-robotic tractor called Taxibot, which tows an aircraft from the airport gate to the take off point and gets it to the gate after landing. This means that aircraft don't have to run their engines to taxi, thereby reducing pollution, noise and fuel costs.
Cessna Citation 680 Sovereign, Los Angeles, Nov. 11, 2008–According to the Board, the night-time collision between a NetJets Sovereign and a ground service vehicle was the result of the vehicle driver's failure to maintain adequate clearance/distance from the taxiing airplane.
Cessna 560 Citation Encore, Kremmling, Colo., Aug. 24, 2009–A ground maintenance worker was seriously injured as the NetJets twinjet exited the fueling depot on the ramp apron. According to reports, the lineman was knocked over by the jet blast and sustained a broken leg, as the Encore was taxiing to depart McElroy Airfield.
Hawker Beechcraft King Air 200, Henderson, Nev., March 22, 2009–The twin turboprop, operated by Southern Nevada Jet Charter, collided with a tree while taxiing after a dusk landing at Henderson Executive Airport.
On June 18 a Learjet 40XR suffered severe damage at Fort Worth's Meacham International Airport after an engine thrust control became stuck while taxiing during an engine run. According to airport manager Bill Welstead, the aircraft was throttled up while leaving Turbine Engine Specialists when the technicians noted that the engine control on the left engine was stuck.
Dassault Falcon 50, Asheville, N.C., Nov. 24, 2008–The pilot's failure to
Hawker Beechcraft King Air A200, Bridgewater, Va., Sept. 25, 2008–The King Air was substantially damaged when it overran the runway while landing at Bridgewater Air Park. The ATP-rated pilot and his sole passenger, a mechanic, were not injured on the maintenance test flight.

Is this the truth?
Young people should be given the know-how to safely access the vast array of opportunities that digital technology presents, rather than being locked or blocked from it. Young people's digital savvy is often overestimated by the older generation, which is why we need to give young people the skills they need to critically evaluate the information that is presented to them via the internet.
Digital Disruption, a project by Bold Creative, is designed to transform the way young people navigate the internet. Digital Disruption aims to improve young people's digital judgement by combining traditional critical thinking skills with 'new' knowledge about how the digital world works, such as understanding search engines and YouTube.
The Digital Disruption website is a one-stop-hub for teaching these skills across the UK curriculum. It hosts a new suite of free, interactive resources and lesson plans for Years 7-13 and presents the latest news and research around digital literacy: www.digitaldisruption.co.uk
Following a successful two year pilot in East London, Bold Creative partnered with Nominet Trust and Demos to research digital literacy in the UK and bring Digital Disruption to a national audience. Demos' 'Truth, Lies and the Internet' report found 99 per cent of teachers surveyed are concerned about their pupils' digital judgement ability, and that teachers across different subjects lack the resources and training to teach this.
In the past year young people have worked with education, research and media professionals on Digital Disruption to develop resources that respond to key issues identified in Demos' report. The teaching tools can be used on their own or as an extended framework of work around online source checking, deconstructing propaganda, conspiracy theories and much more.
Rebecca Ford, Director of Digital Disruption, said: "Young people are bombarded with bewildering amounts of information online on a daily basis – much of it good, much of it bad – and they need to be equipped to seek out fact from fiction so they can navigate the web on their own terms. We've seen first hand from workshops across the UK that young people lack these skills, and teachers are not being provided with the training and resources to teach them – Digital Disruption is the answer."

Cool whip? Cool Whip??? UGH Yes, I see where you also said could use fresh whipped cream. I mistakenly thought your food was supposed to be healthier than your mom's? I'll take the real butter over the chemically infused stuff any day. I don't care about calories, I want to know what the nutritional value is, you know, the vitamin content?

Photos by Anthony Scoggins, Mingei International Museum
Satoshi Kamiya's wasp is so technically perfect it almost looks as if it could fly. Two sets of precisely formed wings sprout from a body whose sculptural detail might well suffice for an anatomy class. Delicately jointed legs end in tiny two-toed feet; its ridged abdomen arches in a curve, apparently poised for takeoff. That such a complex form could be folded from a single sheet of paper seems to defy belief. Kamiya's wasp and several equally astonishing beetles are part of the current exhibition of "Origami Masterworks" at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, a show that demonstrates how far the ancient art of paper folding has come from its traditional focus on flowers and cranes and cute little boxes.
Although much of the Mingei show is devoted to an elaborate zoo of creatures, including an enormous elephant and a riotous clutch of centipedes, many of the pieces are purely abstract structures inspired not by nature but by the formalisms of geometry. Mathematician Tom Hull's model of five interpenetrating tetrahedrons calls to mind an alchemical symbol. Another, by French folder Vincent Floderer, provocatively titled Boom, consists of a single transparent sheet pleated into an insanely complex landscape of mountainous peaks arranged in a quasi-checkerboard pattern. Issey Miyake meets M.C. Escher. In a separate room at the back of the show are several enigmatic works by computer scientist Jeannine Mosely involving curved surfaces and circular folds, surreal variations on the classic platonic solids. Sharing the same display case is a geometric form known as a "gyroscopic egg," a delicate hollow ellipsoid constructed out of origami latticework.
All these models, including Kamiya's insects, have been made possible by the marriage of origami and mathematics, a partnership that has given rise to the emerging field of origami sekkei, or "technical folding." This new breed of "computational" origamists are also developing techniques that are taking the art in hitherto-unthinkable directions. In the process they are turning paper folding into a science as much as an art. Their explorations are giving rise to whole new dimensions of origami aesthetics. At the same time, their radical methodologies have application to a slew of scientific and engineering problems — from deploying telescopes in space to folding air bags in cars and folding proteins in living cells.
Until recently, origami was an ad hoc art. Designers developed new models based purely on their intuitive understanding. But over the past decade, says master origamist Robert Lang, "mathematicians and scientists have begun mapping the 'laws of nature' that underlie origami, converting words, concepts and images into mathematical expressions." They are bringing with them insights from such fields as information theory, algebraic geometry and number theory. As Lang points out, many basic issues in origami "are actually linked to deep mathematical questions."
Lang, who designed the elephant in the Mingei show, is one of the pioneers of computational origami. Recently retired from a career in laser physics, he now spends most of his time as a professional paper folder. He is the author of a dozen books on the subject, including his recently published magnum opus Origami Design Secrets: Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art(A.K. Peters, 2003), a vast compendium of ancient and new techniques that explains the principles behind the recent origami revolution.
Lang is also famous in the origami world as the author of a computer program called TreeMaker, which automates the design process and enables the construction of extremely complicated creatures. Let's say you want to fold a scorpion. Traditional origami techniques are not well suited to many-limbed forms, with long, thin appendages posing particularly difficult challenges. With TreeMaker, the user simply inputs a stick-figure diagram of the desired model, and the program calculates the requisite crease pattern. TreeMaker has come up with designs that Lang says are radically different from anything used in traditional origami and may seem counterintuitive. Sometimes, he says, its designs only work when you scour all the creases, then fold the whole model up in unison. In these cases, "there are only two stable states, the flat piece of paper and the finished model, nothing in between." That is quite different from traditional origami, where models have necessarily been constructed one fold at a time.
Lang developed TreeMaker because he wanted a tool to help him design elaborate animal models, particularly insects. The rules it applies when calculating crease patterns are based on techniques developed by Lang himself and a number of legendary Japanese folders, including Kamiya and Jun Maekawa. But TreeMaker can also solve more abstract problems. Lang has been hired as a consultant by a team of researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory who are designing space-based telescopes.
Astronomers searching for extrasolar planets need very large telescopes to catch sufficient light from these extremely faint sources. The Livermore scientists are hoping eventually to build space-based telescopes with lenses up to 100 meters in diameter. Something this large will never fit into the cargo bay of the space shuttle, so the idea is to make lenses that can fold up and be opened out once they're deployed in orbit. Fortunately, flat film lenses, known as Fresnel lenses, are highly effective — they are used in overhead projectors — but the challenge is how to fold one up so that creases don't interfere with the optics and spoil the resulting images. Lang used TreeMaker to come up with a viable crease pattern — it resembles a gigantic spider's web — and the Livermore team is currently constructing a 5-meter prototype of his design.

Clare Grogan in 2009
Background information | |
Born | Glasgow, Scotland |
17 March 1962
Genres | Pop, New Wave |
Occupations | Singer Actress |
Associated acts | Altered Images |
Claire Patricia Grogan (born 17 March 1962) is a Scottish actress and singer, sometimes credited as C.P. Grogan. She is best known as the lead singer of the 1980s new wave music group Altered Images and for supporting roles in the 1981 film Gregory's Girl and the science fiction sitcom Red Dwarf.
Early and personal life[edit]
Born in Glasgow, Grogan and her two sisters all attended the Notre Dame Convent School.[1]
Aged 17 while within the Pollok Inn, a public house in Glasgow, she was a bystander when a fight broke out between several patrons. A broken bottle was hurled in her direction as she was fleeing, and she was left severely injured with a prominent scar on the left side of her face. Grogan states that her parents still find it hard to read about the incident. She began filming Gregory's Girl just three months after the incident.[2]
Grogan married band mate Stephen Lironi in Glasgow in 1994. The couple live in Haringey, and in 2005 they adopted a daughter.[3]
Acting career[edit]
Originally a member of Glasgow's Youth Theatre, she was originally obliged to appear as C.P. Grogan because there was already a member of Equity named Claire Grogan (the other Claire Grogan went on to become a photographer). She would later drop the i from her first name.[4]
Whilst working as a waitress at the Spaghetti Factory restaurant in Glasgow, she was spotted by film director Bill Forsyth.[5] This led to her breakthrough acting role in 1981's Gregory's Girl as Susan. In light of her severe facial wound, despite objections from the producers, Forsyth refused to recast the role and Grogan was filmed mostly profile. When filmed in close up, makeup artists covered Grogan's scar with mortician's wax.[6]
In 1984 she played Charlotte in Forsyth's Comfort and Joy. In 1985 she was the receptionist in the BBC Television version of Blott on the Landscape. She had a recurring role playing Dave Lister's would-be love-interest, Kristine Kochanski, in series 1, 2 and 6 of the TV show Red Dwarf. In series 7 she was replaced by Chloë Annett. Grogan has also appeared in Father Ted (episode "Rock-a-Hula Ted") as a feminist rock singer and in EastEnders as Ian Beale's love interest, Ros Thorne (1997–1998).
She has also been a talk show host in the UK. She played control-freak office manager Sandra Reeves in the 2006 film The Penalty King. She appears in the video for Peter Kay and Matt Lucas' charity single "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)", recorded for Comic Relief's Red Nose Day 2007. She also played Danny's mother in Legit.
Grogan appearred in the TV series Skins, as Shelley, the mother of Mini McGuinness.
Grogan played the part of Rita in a stage adaptation of Educating Rita at Dundee Repertory Theatre in 1987.[7]
Music career[edit]
Grogan developed her singing career as the lead singer of Altered Images, originally a five-piece that included Johnny McElhone (later of the Scottish rock band Texas), whom she met while studying for her Highers. It became a four-person band with the departure of two members and the addition of Stephen Lironi, who played both guitar and drums. The band had a string of hits in the early 1980s, including "Happy Birthday", "Don't Talk to Me About Love", "I Could Be Happy" and "See Those Eyes". The group split up after the release of their third album, Bite (1983).
Grogan later attempted a solo career, but after her single "Love Bomb" failed to gain chart success in 1987, her album Trash Mad was never released. Grogan formed Universal Love School in 1989 with Lironi, performing a series of gigs around the UK. However, it was short-lived and produced no hit singles. In 2000 she contributed vocals to the song "Night Falls Like a Grand Piano" on The 6ths' album Hyacinths and Thistles. She recorded a version of "Angels With Dirty Faces" for the Frankie Miller tribute album. The track "Her Hooped Dream" appears on The Ultimate Celtic Album.
In 2002, Grogan performed as "Altered Images" on the Here and Now Tour which featured other famous acts from the 1980s. She performed on similar tours in 2005, 2008 and 2009. She appeared with Chesney Hawkes, Toyah Willcox and Limahl as The 80s Supergroup in the 2011 series of Let's Dance for Comic Relief.[8]
Grogan sometimes covers for radio presenters on BBC 6 Music, most often for Nemone and sometimes Liz Kershaw.
Grogan's first book was published in October 2008, a children's novel (aimed at age 7 and up) titled Tallulah and the Teenstars, about a girl who forms a pop band.[9]
