Northern beaches part-time model Sarah Durazza, who was once at the centre of an NRL sponsor "punching" scandal, has died in a tragic car accident at Narrabeen on Monday night.
The 26-year-old was killed when her white Holden Barina hit a tree on the Wakehurst Parkway, a notoriously dangerous road on Sydney's northern beaches, about 7.20pm, police said.
Her death was one of seven on NSW's roads in the past 24 hours.

The Mona Vale beautician was at the centre of a stoush involving her father and Manly second-rower Anthony Watmough at Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles' alcohol-fuelled pre-season sponsors' launch in 2009.
Landscaper gardener Paul Durazza, also a club sponsor, claimed Watmough "punched" him after insulting his then 21-year-old daughter.
Watmough vehemently denied the sponsor's claims and police never laid any charges.
Friends and family have expressed their grief and paid tribute to Ms Durazza on Facebook.
"Rest in peace to my beautiful cousin Sarah Durazza u will be missed by many xoxo," posted Mathew Durazza.
Rebecca Molinaro posted: "Been up since 2am thinking of my friend Sarah Durazza may you rest in peace, such a beautiful girl xxx my heart is aching for your family during this tragic time."
Another friend Mathew Chilingirian said she was dearly loved and would be missed by many.
"You always spoke your mind and never sugar coated anything and that's what everyone loved about you most. I will remember so many adventures and memories with you till I'm old and gray! Love always! XOXO"
Another family member Daniel Durazza said all who knew her were in shock.
"Still in shock just can't believe that she is gone too soon we will all miss her so much my thoughts are with you all," he posted.
Mary Di Palma wrote: "Devastated at the tragic loss of a beautiful soul, in our hearts and minds forever Sarah, our love and thoughts are with all of our family at home. Wish we were there with you, but know in our hearts we are right beside you, although so far away."
The part-time model and beautician did an interview with ABC's Four Corners following the scandal which erupted at the Sea Eagles' pre-season launch at the Manly Wharf Hotel.
She told the program at the time that Watmough had become increasingly drunk the day of the fateful launch in March 2009.
"The language that [Watmough ] was used was like you know eff this, eff that. He kept going up to my father going you should be disgusted in your daughter and you know just putting me completely down saying that I'm a piece of shit. He did say to my dad how can you let your daughter walk out of the house in a dress like that? And yes the dress was above the knee but I don't have to justify myself to anybody," she told journalist Sarah Ferguson at the time.
Ms Durazza was a familiar face in Sydney's social scene and was a finalist in Miss Snow Bunny 2006, Miss NSW 2008 and the winner of Miss Freshwater 2006.
Road deaths
Meanwhile, a man and a woman, both aged 33, were killed instantly on Monday morning when their scooter collided with a truck on the City West Link, in Haberfield.
On the NSW north coast, a car hit a tree off the Old Pacific Highway near Lake Innes about 3.20pm, killing a man and woman.
Only an hour later, less than 100 kilometres away, another car collided with a tree in Arakoon, killing a 54-year-old driver.
Further up the coast, near the Queensland border, an 84-year-old pedestrian was hit by a Toyota Tarago as he crossed the road at Banora Point, in Tweed Heads.
He later died in hospital.
A man and a woman also suffered serious injuries in a crash in northwest NSW.
A three-car pile-up occurred after two cars initially collided on the Mitchell Highway 15 kilometres east of Dubbo on Monday afternoon. All three drivers suffered injuries, including a a 52-year-old woman and a 43-year-old man.
Commander of Traffic and Highway Patrol, Assistant Commissioner John Hartley, said the cause of each crash was under investigation.
"If you are the driver you can save yourself and possibly those you love by remembering to get the basic things right – driving within the speed limit, not drinking and driving and knowing your limitations," he said in a statement on Monday night.
None of the three people who died on the NSW north coast roads have been formally identified.

July is the month when fans of the award-winning series Mad Men, which follows the lives of 1960s Madison Avenue executives, eagerly await a new serving of high drama and retro-chic fashion. But since the fifth season has been postponed to next year, Maddicts will have to content themselves with revisiting already-released episodes. One of these, the episode Maidenform from season two, is especially worth a second look, for it is a curious window into the truth of Catholic teaching on human sexuality.
Not that that was anyones goal. Mark Greif is too harsh, but he has a point when he accuses the show of essentially congratulat[ing] the present. The series explorationsoften through graphic scenesof sexism, racism, homophobia, etc., often seem designed to confirm some viewers in their self-satisfaction.
Still, Mad Mens carefully crafted plots, well-developed characters, and sharp cinematography somehow manage to rise above propaganda. The program reaches the realm of true art, insofar as the television medium can, and true art has a curious knack of transcending its authors intentions.
The interweaving storylines of Maidenform, for instance, dramatize one of the cornerstones of Catholic sexual ethics, namely, that the recreative and procreative dimensions of sexual activity should never be divorced. Usually, this principle is invoked during discussions on artificial contraception, but as a fundamental truth concerning our embodied natures, its relevance is far wider. Pleasure that is self-enclosed, that is not subsumed into a higher nobility (and here I take the raising of children with ones spouse to be a noble thing), ends up being unsatisfying.
In the episode, Mrs. Betty Draper bumps into Arthur, a younger man whose advances she has previously rebuffed. Although Betty is faithful to her husband, she enjoys the would-be paramours attention. But as the two of them are flirting, Bettys children run to her side. Both Betty and Arthur become visibly uneasy and soon part.
Why? Because theyve been thinking of sex, but not the honorable kind that is open to the natural and noble end of offspring and is thereby sanctioned by Church and state alike. Bettys children are a visible reminder of the procreative purpose of sexuality, and that reminder shames the pleasure-fixated pair. Without the ultimately self-transcending intention of legitimate descendants to dignify it, their jockeying for bodily bliss is selfish and base, and they know it.
Don Draper, the tortured protagonist of the series, is also concerned about honor in his own signature, train-wreck way. Hoping to escape from reality, he seeks out the adulterous company of Bobbie Barrett, but when Bobbie mentions that she must visit her son, who is an astonishing eighteen years old, Don registers a note of discomfort. That note continues to sound when, during their next liaison, Bobbie says she must leave to attend her daughters play. The last thing Don has had on his mind is his mistress maternity, and the reminder momentarily dampens his ardor for the affair. But the coup de grace comes when Bobbie later tells Don that he has an outstanding reputation as a lover, and that she sought him out for that very reason. To her shock, Don refuses to make love to her and leaves.
Two things have turned him off. The first is that others know about his flings. His reaction is not one of fear that such rumors will reach his wife, but oddly, a revulsion to the explicitly sordid. Don experiences outrage at the publicizing of his lust because deep down he recognizes something shameful in it. Despite it all, he wants to be something more than a vacuous playboy.
Second, Don needs silence in order to project his delusions of honor onto his actions, or at least not to think about them. Stop talking, he repeatedly orders her; her chatter is spoiling the mood. Bobbies prattle unveils the possibility that he is no better than she, a possibility he cannot abide.
The character of Bobbie Barrett also highlights an interesting paradox, one alluded to in St. Augustines Confessions when he speaks of God besprinkling all [his] illicit pleasures with certain elements of bitterness, to draw [him] on to seek for pleasures in which no bitterness should be.
Bobbies relishing of venereal delights, loosed from its moorings, has turned into a sadomasochistic fetish. Her life epitomizes the emptiness of pleasure when not subordinated to a higher aim. As every happily-married couple knows, in choosing honor over pleasure, one obtains not only honor but pleasure as well; but in choosing pleasure over honor, one ultimately gains neither. In Bobbies case, to experience pleasure, she now needs pain.
The hollowness of pursuing sexual pleasure inordinately is also revealed from the opposite perspective: that is, not from progeny but from progenitors. When the cocky Pete Campbell seduces a model and is brought to her apartment, the erotic tension is suddenly broken by the appearance of her mother. Pete is nonplussed, but his date laughs it off. What? You didnt think I had a mother? she giggles, and adds soothingly, Its okay. But its not, and the audience is repulsed as the two proceed, separated from the mother by only thin accordion doors. With a sinister smile Campbell later shows that he is pleased with his tryst; we are not.
The final scene of the episode shows Don shaving in the morning. As his young daughter Sally watches him adoringly, she says, Im not going to talk. I dont want you to cut yourself. Sallys remark about not talking, which reminds him of what he had told Bobbie, cuts him more than any blade, filling him with self-disgust. Just as he was unable to finish making love to Bobbie, he is now unable to continue shaving in front of Sally. He asks his daughter to leave and sits alone, desolate.
Commenting on Maidenform, Mad Mens Janie Bryant concluded: Theres so many meanings in this episode, theres so many layers. And its like the more times you see it
the onion starts to be peeled. What a surprise to find near the center of that onion a fairly decent theology of eros.

In The Apology Socrates attempts to prove the Oracle wrong by finding someone wiser than himself, looking among the artisans, the politicians and the poets. He is most surprised by the foolishness of the poets, because upon speaking to them it is clear that they do not know, and yet there were great and sublime truths within their plays.
When art is more than propoganda it can't help but say something true about the human condition, oftentimes unintentionally. And this would seem to be a defense of partaking of popular culture. We want to be party to the the re-emergence of irrepressible truth. But at what cost?
Mad Men, The Sopranos and a few others may qualify as really good, sometimes great art, but in the end it's like buying Playboy for the articles.
Just as "true art has a cuirous knack of transcending the artist's intentions", it also has a cuirous knack of transcending the viewers conscious perceptions.
We shouldn't kid ourselves into thinking that we can watch these shows with marsian detachment. Sure we might look down from on high at the dysfunction which results from sin, but at another very powerful level we're watching a show in which attractive, sympathetic characters are doing what we all desire to do.
You tread dangerous waters my friend. Equating trash and art is one thing, but trying to drag the holy down into the mundane...?
I'm sure plenty of prudes thought Shakespeare was the premier purveyor of trash in his time. But once the Bible is looked at as mere entertainment, or even great art, it looses all significance.
As to the Bible losing signficance if looked at as great art--I simply disagree.
thanks for the article.
Art can be criticized and dispensed with, no matter how great it is. The Bible, if it really is the word of God, requires a different approach.
In short, Weiner is over-selling his merchandise.

Lim PH, et al. (2011) Regulation of alr1 mg transporter activity by intracellular magnesium. PLoS One 6(6):e20896
Abstract: Mg homeostasis is critical to eukaryotic cells, but the contribution of Mg transporter activity to homeostasis is not fully understood. In yeast, Mg uptake is primarily mediated by the Alr1 transporter, which also allows low affinity uptake of other divalent cations such as Ni(2+), Mn(2+), Zn(2+) and Co(2+). Using Ni(2+) uptake to assay Alr1 activity, we observed approximately nine-fold more activity under Mg-deficient conditions. The mnr2 mutation, which is thought to block release of vacuolar Mg stores, was associated with increased Alr1 activity, suggesting Alr1 was regulated by intracellular Mg supply. Consistent with a previous report of the regulation of Alr1 expression by Mg supply, Mg deficiency and the mnr2 mutation both increased the accumulation of a carboxy-terminal epitope-tagged version of the Alr1 protein (Alr1-HA). However, Mg supply had little effect on ALR1 promoter activity or mRNA levels. In addition, while Mg deficiency caused a seven-fold increase in Alr1-HA accumulation, the N-terminally tagged and untagged Alr1 proteins increased less than two-fold. These observations argue that the Mg-dependent accumulation of the C-terminal epitope-tagged protein was primarily an artifact of its modification. Plasma membrane localization of YFP-tagged Alr1 was also unaffected by Mg supply, indicating that a change in Alr1 location did not explain the increased activity we observed. We conclude that variation in Alr1 protein accumulation or location does not make a substantial contribution to its regulation by Mg supply, suggesting Alr1 activity is directly regulated via as yet unknown mechanisms.

The Full Board, at its meeting held on September 11, 2012, considered the above captioned case for Mandatory Full Board Review of the Board Panel Memorandum of Decision filed on December 1, 2011.
The issues presented for Mandatory Full Board Review are:
In a decision filed on October 15, 2010, the WCLJ established the claim for injuries to the neck, back, right shoulder, and right hip; made awards for the period from April 5, 2010, to August 11, 2010, at the temporary total rate of $433.33 per week, and for the period from August 11, 2010, to October 12, 2010, and continuing, at the mild rate of $216.67 per week; and awarded a fee in the amount of $450.00 to the claimant's attorney.
In a Memorandum of Decision filed December 1, 2011, the Board Panel majority reversed the WCLJ's decision and disallowed the claim, concluding that the claimant's injury did not arise out of and in the course of her employment.
The dissenting Board Panel member would have remanded the case to the WCLJ for further development of the record on whether the claimant was injured while she was engaged in a special errand for the employer.
Claimant filed an application for Mandatory Full Board Review on December 30, 2011.
The self-insured employer (SIE) filed a rebuttal filed with the Board on January 19, 2012.
Upon review, the Full Board votes to adopt the following findings and conclusions.
On April 30, 2010, the claimant filed a C-3 (Employee Claim) and alleged that she was injured at work at 7:56 a.m. on March 31, 2010. The claimant reported injuries to her right shoulder, collar bone, head, right leg and ankle, left ribs, back, and left hand that resulted from being hit by a vehicle as she crossed the street.
The SIE does not dispute the fact that the claimant was injured but argues that the accident did not arise out of and in the course of the claimant's employment.
The claimant testified on October 12, 2010, that she was working for the employer as a caretaker on March 31, 2010. She worked at the employer's location on Ralph Avenue in Brooklyn. Her normal working hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. She reported to work at about 7:52 a.m. on March 31, 2010. She went into the maintenance area to clock in. The employees have a swipe card to scan through the time clock but she did not have the card with her when she arrived at the maintenance area. Since she did not have her card, she would have had to fill out an alternate time sheet, which would need to be signed by her supervisor. She told her supervisor that she did not have her swipe card, and he told her that she could fill out an alternate time sheet but that she needed to wait until after 8:00 a.m. when the assignments are given out. She asked if she could go to the store to get a cup of coffee. Her supervisor told her she could go to the store and asked her to bring him some tea. The claimant had gotten tea for her supervisor before. The store is directly across the street from her work location. The claimant did not make it to the store because she was hit by a car while crossing the street. It was normal for the employees that arrived early to go and get a beverage before work.
The supervisor testified on October 12, 2010, that the claimant arrived to work at about 7:52 a.m on March 31, 2010. Her normal working hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The procedure for an employee to clock in is to swipe her card, and if an employee does not have her card, she must fill out an alternate time sheet. On March 31, 2010, the claimant had asked for an alternate time sheet but the supervisor did not give her one because the claimant wanted to go to the store first to get some coffee. Otherwise, she could have filled out the time sheet before she left. The supervisor did not ask the claimant to purchase anything for him at the store. He did not ask her to buy him some tea and had never asked her in the past to do so. On cross examination, the supervisor conceded that he is unsure what transpired when the claimant asked for the alternate time sheet; he may have told her to wait until after 8:00 a.m. The employees do not need the supervisor's approval to go across the street. The supervisor cannot give the work assignments to the employees until 8:00 a.m.
The WCLJ heard oral summations from the parties and then established the claim for injuries to the neck, back, right shoulder and right hip; made awards for the period from April 5, 2010, to August 11, 2010, at the temporary total rate of $433.33 per week, and for the period from August 11, 2010, to date, and continuing, at the mild rate of $216.67 per week; and awarded a fee in the amount of $450.00 to the claimant's attorney. The claimant's attorney had requested a fee in the amount of $1,500.00. However, the WCLJ noted that the claimant had not filed a pre-hearing conference statement.
The WCLJ's findings were set forth in a decision filed on October 15, 2010.
In her application for Mandatory Full Board Review filed on December 30, 2011, the claimant argues that her arrival to work at 7:52 a.m. was for the employer's benefit, that she was no longer commuting to work when the accident occurred, and that if she had been given the alternate time sheet when she arrived, she would have been clocked in prior to the accident. The claimant further argues that the accident occurred while she was taking a very brief break for coffee. The claimant's attorney further contends that the WCLJ unfairly reduced the $1,500.00 fee to $450.00, and requests that the fee be increased to $1,050.00.
In a rebuttal filed with the Board on January 19, 2012, the attorneys for the SIE request that the decision of the Board Panel majority be affirmed, since the claimant did not have an accident arising out of and in the course of her employment. The SIE argues that there is no evidence that the claimant was actually on duty at the time of the accident. The SIE noted the general rule that employees are not within the scope of their employment while commuting to and from work (Matter of Lemon v New York City Tr. Auth., 72 NY2d 324 [1988]), and that no exception to the general rule applies here since the claimant was not subjected to any "special hazard" while she was crossing the street (Matter of Husted v Seneca Steel Serv., 41 NY2d 140 [1976]).
Accident arising out of and in the course of employment
To be compensable, an injury must arise out of and in the course of employment (see WCL § 10). As noted above, the claimant argues that her injuries are compensable because she was on a coffee break when the accident occurred. In order to find that the claimant sustained a compensable injury while on a coffee break, the record must contain sufficient evidence to find that prior to the break, the claimant was in the course of employment, and that the coffee break was only a momentary deviation from employment such that it did not interrupt the claimant's employment (Matter of Marotta v Town & Country Elec., Inc., 51 AD3d 1126 [2008]).
In Marotta, the Court noted that "[m]omentary deviation[s] from the work routine for a customary and accepted purpose will not bar a claim for benefits and [a]ccidents that occur during an employee's short breaks, such as coffee breaks, are considered to be so closely related to the performance of the job that they do not constitute an interruption of employment" (id. [internal citations and quotations omitted]). The Court noted the timing of events that occurred prior to when the claimant in Marotta was injured. Specifically,
"the claimant [had] reported to work at 7:55 A.M., discussed work plans for the week with his partner, and loaded his work truck with supplies and materials. He then drove to the site of his assigned electrical job [but while en route] went to a drive-through window to purchase coffee and a muffin and, when he reached for his money in his back pocket, he felt a 'pop' in his back and experienced pain radiating down both legs and, later, paralysis in his right leg" (id.).
In Marotta, the Court reversed the Board Panel's decision to disallow the claim finding that, "[w]hile the Board recognized that claimant's accident occurred in the course of his employment, it concluded that he had deviated from his employment when he stopped for coffee while en route to his job site and, thus, the injury did not arise out of his employment" (id.).
Here, it is undisputed that prior to attempting to cross the street to get some coffee, the claimant had arrived at her workplace. As such, there is sufficient evidence in the instant matter to find that the claimant was "in the course of her employment" when she took a short break and left her workplace to go get coffee.
Therefore, the Full Board finds that the claim is established on the theory that claimant was in the course of her employment once she arrived at her place of employment and was injured during a short, routine break soon after her arrival.
Amount of attorney's fee
Turning to the issue of whether the WCLJ properly reduced the amount of the attorney's fee to $450.00, the claimant's attorney requests that the fee be increased to $1,050.00. The claimant's attorney acknowledges that he did not timely file a pre-hearing conference statement. However, the claimant's attorney argues that the untimely filed statement did not delay the case in any way and therefore, the WCLJ should not have made such a large deduction from the fee requested.
12 NYCRR 300.38(f)(5)(i), states that "[t]he legal fee of claimant's legal representative shall be subject to a mandatory, substantial reduction for failure to timely serve on all parties and file with the Board the claimant's pre-hearing conference statement [emphasis added]."
Here, the WCLJ substantially reduced the fee requested by the claimant's attorney, pursuant to 12 NYCRR 300.38(f)(5)(i). There is nothing in the language of the regulation that supports the claimant's attorney's argument that his fee should be increased from that awarded by the WCLJ because his failure to file the pre-hearing conference statement did not cause a delay in the case.
Therefore, the Full Board finds that based on the claimant's attorneys' failure to timely file the pre-hearing conference statement, the attorney's fee should be substantially reduced to $450.00, pursuant to 12 NYCRR 300.38(f)(5)(i).
Accordingly, the WCLJ decision filed October 15, 2010, is AFFIRMED. The case is continued.

Around The World Travel by Jeremiah Allen Still free? Click Here to find out! Upon college graduation, at the age of 24, I freaked out. I had no desire to begin a career. I had no idea what my career even was. My two degrees were supposed to give me guidance. They were supposed to give me a life yet the passion for a career and everything society taught me about how to measure success was opposite of what I was feeling. I needed to break free. There was only one solution. I had to travel. Over the next couple of years I embarked on an epic journey to live and travel completely around the world. I awarded myself with a self-imposed exile and it was marvelous. I was running away from everything I had known. Soon I was swept up in the adventure of a lifetime: The book recounts the odyssey across the world, hitchhiking through rural Africa, on endless train rides through bustling India, on foot through the Himalaya, traveling by rickshaw in Thailand, by boat in Laos, and ferries in Vietnam. |

it's funny how boston is the standard of marathons. when you say, "boston" to another runner, they know you mean the boston marathon. even non-runners are impressed; while my boss came out and cheered me on at the new york city marathon (with a sign and everything!), she was so proud of my personal best time at boston ("look...look how many people you beat! you came in the 6,000s out of over 25,000 runners!") she started meetings by announcing my success. everyone knows it's THE marathon...
i almost didn't do it. i qualified in the nyc marathon; i was aiming for a personal best in nyc and i got one (3:32) but then crista was doing boston...and i had to do it. crista ended up NOT doing boston, but i had already paid. "there's no refund! i have to run it."
i ran a 50k two weeks before boston, and was really nervous. i had been running longer, slower, and doing less speed overall. i didn't have super high expectations, but wanted to PR, have a good time, and run strong.
i arrived in boston full of energy. i bought two boxes of Gu at the expo (strawberry banana, yum!) and realized after the expo that i didn't have my endurolytes. these help balance my electrolyte deficincies, which my doctor and i discovered i am prone to. i hoped i would run well.
the morning started off good. i got nearly eight hours of sleep, and met a super nice guy on my bus ride. we chatted and were super runner nerds ("oooh, kara goucher!") and it helped keep me calm. i headed into my corral and chatted with a fellow new yorker, shivering. it was COLD!
after the race started, my first mile was actually kind of slow. i picked it up, cursing that i was in the last corral of the first wave. this meant i had to fight my way forward...and fight i did. but i enjoyed myself. i smiled, i waved, i ran strong, i watched my watch...i was on target for 3:22, 3:23.
of course i started feeling nausea (i'm blaming the lack of endurolytes, though it also could've been the speed i'm not used to), which slowed me down the last few miles. i refused to give in. i ate pretzels. i ate oranges, lots of them. i ate watermelon (oh. my. god. i am going to have watermelon at my 50miler next week - it was that incredible!). i tried to force down gus. i got kisses from wellsley girls. i felt great, strong, happy, alive.
coming into boston i ran into a strong headwind but kept pushing. i was disappointed my time wasn't as fast as i had hoped, but i was still PR'ing. at the finish, i didn't pass out (that's saying something for me) and was rewarded with an amazing hot cocoa but a good friend. that was probably the best hot cocoa i ever had in my life. it was SO good. i asked for more whipped cream after i ate it all, and the guy gave me a ton. fantastic!
this race was amazing because i felt good, strong, happy, and i ran fast! 3:28!
and you know what? i qualified for boston at this race. i just might have to do it again next year!

Microsoft calls for $5B investment in U.S. education
The new spending would be paid for by new fees on H-1B and green card visa, under Microsoft's plan
IDG News Service - Congress should invest $5 billion in the country's education system -- particularly in math, science and technology education -- over the next 10 years and pay for it with increased fees on high-skill immigration, a Microsoft executive said.
The U.S. needs to push more resources into science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education because technology companies are running into huge shortages of workers, said Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel and executive vice president. With most U.S. industries relying heavily on IT systems, other companies will soon start to see those worker shortages as well, unless the country focuses more on STEM education, he said during a speech at the Brookings Institution Thursday.
"We need to do something new," he said. "We need to try something different."
To pay for the $500-million-a-year investment in education, Smith proposed that Congress add 20,000 high-skill immigration visas dedicated to workers in STEM fields to the existing 85,000 H-1B visas allowed each year. Congress should charge $10,000 for each of the 20,000 H-1Bs, he said. H-1B applications normally cost about $2,800 for large companies.
In addition, Congress should "recapture" 15,000 unused green card visas each year and charge $15,000 for those applications, he said.
Charging $10,000 for STEM-focused H-1B visas is "economically feasible," Smith said.
The $500 million raised by the two new programs would go to states to improve their education systems, under the Microsoft plan, detailed in a white paper.
Smith said he's talked to Democratic and Republican lawmakers about the plan and found a receptive audience. He said he hopes the Microsoft proposal, or other legislation focused on STEM jobs, can help break a stalemate in Congress over high-skill immigration. "We're trying to break a logjam here," he said. "We do need to do something to break the logjam over the next 12 months, or I really fear that run an increasing risk that the jobs are going to start to migrate elsewhere."
New education spending is needed in the U.S. because the country risks falling behind several other nations, Smith said.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics has forecast more than 120,000 computing job openings a year in the U.S. between now and 2020, Smith noted. But the country graduates less than 60,000 computing students a year in bachelor's, master's and doctorate programs.
Microsoft currently has about 6,000 U.S. job openings, with 3,400 of those jobs for researchers, developers and engineers, he said. "Too few American students -- especially students who have historically been underserved and underrepresented -- are achieving the levels of education required to secure jobs in innovation-based industries," he wrote in his blog post.
Smith's speech found a receptive audience at Brookings. Teacher pay is one area that needs attention in the STEM fields, said Michael McShane, a research fellow in education policy for the American Enterprise Institute. The U.S. has a shortage of good STEM teachers, he said, because young people with those degrees can get bigger paychecks in private industry.
"Our school districts are competing against Microsoft for that talent," he said. "[Microsoft] can alter their compensation strategies based on market needs. Unfortunately, in many cases, we have locked teacher compensation into step-and-lane pay scales."

Hey Raw World !
Tonight rock melon fest brought some clarity to my carbs loaded up brain.
How envy works ?
Suddenly I had that thought about all those times I felt miserable and started looking at other people lives with envy like a starving kids would look at some Christmas windows over flowing with food and presents.
All those times I fought the envy and gave myself a hard time for just feeling it.
So how did that work…

The Roland statue, installed in the Town Hall Square in 1896 is now in St. Peter's Church and the square is a copy made in 2000. The ho...

BOSTON — Red Sox manager John Farrell invoked the possibility of Photoshop. Jon Lester said he doesn't have a cold — he got over that last week — so snot's seemingly ruled out.
Lester was adamant on Thursday that the only thing in his glove during an excellent start in Game 1 of the World Series was rosin — nothing else, and nothing nefarious — even though pictures that circulated on the web made it appear he had something yellow-greenish in there.
A Twitter message from a Cardinals minor leaguer was among the voices Wednesday night to raise the possibility that Lester had a prohibited substance in his glove. The Sox lefty threw 7 2/3 innings of shutout ball in an 8-1 Sox win.
"I guess it's a compliment," Lester said Thursday ahead of Game 2. "I know what I do day in and day out to prepare to pitch for big league games. I know not once I've cheated, won't cheat, and I'll continue to hold that as part of who I am. Like I said, it is what it is. (Cards minor leaguer Tyler Melling) has his opinion, he has his right to hold his opinion on it, the picture like I said does look bad, but it's rosin. Like I said, that's all I can really comment on with it, it's rosin. My next start, Game 5 I'll go out there and do the exact same thing and hopefully have the same outcome in the game."
Said MLB in a statement Thursday: "We cannot draw any conclusions from this video. There were no complaints from the Cardinals and the umpires never detected anything indicating a foreign substance throughout the game."
This is the second time this season the Red Sox have had to face a doctoring controversy, the first coming when Clay Buchholz pitched in Toronto in May. Bull Frog, a sunscreen that can work as part of a tacky mixture, was central to the Buchholz instance, and a picture this postseason showed a bottle of Bull Frog in the Red Sox dugout in Florida — a domed stadium where there's no sun to combat.
Major League Baseball and the Cardinals both indicated the matter doesn't have legs this go-around. Cards manager Mike Matheny termed it a "dead issue" Thursday.
"This was not instigated by us," Matheny said. "The way that we approach this is we just play the game. We don't deny that some things have been acknowledged. And if that's what he claims, then that's what it is. That's all there is to it. And right now it's pretty much a dead issue. We move on with the fact that the league now has to take notice. But once again, this wasn't something that was instigated by us.
"You realize the ramifications of that, if we started going down that path, would just be trying to make excuses for a pitcher having a very good game against us and us not getting the job done. And that's not the kind of team we are. So we see what happens, we make note of it and we just keep playing."
Farrell said that three things came to his mind. The first: MLB has cleared Lester. The second: the Cardinals have weighed in and aren't pursuing matter. The third?
"Probably most importantly, if you know Jon Lester — he sweats like a pig," Farrell said. "He needs rosin, like every other pitcher. He chooses to keep it in his glove. You'll see (John) Lackey tonight. He keeps it on his arm. Other guys have it on their pant. I don't see this as being anything really."
"I did see the picture," Farrell continued. "Someone sent me the picture. How it's lime green, I don't know. Maybe somebody's got the ability to Photoshop. I don't know. Seems pretty unique."
According to MLB rule 8.02.4, "the pitcher shall not apply a foreign substance of any kind to the ball." The question that followed on Thursday was simple: if Lester didn't do anything wrong, should the rules be updated to make situations like these clearer? Should pitchers be afforded grip-enhancing substances in their glove as part of the letter of the law?
"How it's updated, I don't know," Farrell said. "Do you start to list individual products? At the same time, I know talking to our own hitters, they want to be sure that a pitcher has got a complete grip of the baseball. Last night and in this series, there are pitchers on both sides that are going to be mid to upper 90sâtype velocity. If a hitter in the batter box has a little more comfort knowing the pitcher has a good grip, then maybe they're a little more at ease as well.
"So to adjust the rule, where does it end? I don't know. You've got to draw the line somewhere, and the way it is right now seems to fit."
Matheny didn't dive into that subject, saying simply: "the rules are the rules."
Lester wasn't mad. He said he puts rosin in his glove because it helps him with his tempo, as opposed to reaching down on the mound constantly. His usage doesn't depend on his weather.
"I just throw it in my glove," Lester said. "For me it helps with tempo too, you know, any time you're not walking to the back of the mound grabbing the rosin, walking around, you can just reach in your glove and you're back up in the rubber ready to go. That's kind of how it started for me, it was more of a tempo issue. And any time, like I said, you get a foul ball, a new ball, whatever, you're walking to the back of the mound grabbing the rosin, taking your time, getting back up on the rubber — it takes too long. You throw it in there, it's perfectly legal. They put it back there for a reason and I'm going to continue to do it."

Cat in the inside herb gardengreenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread |
I just started an indoor herb garden over the weekend. My 1 year old black cat is on the prowl to dig it up. I have the seeds planted in small containers in a shallow plastic box container. It is not possible to shut the door, as they are in the only window facing south/west, and it's located in my son's room. Any suggestions about how to catproof? She's been known to pull the stopper out of the sink and loves to get as high as possible.:>
-- Lee Martin (email@example.com), January 01, 2002
I think someone once said something about cats hating citrus? Maybe you could put some peels around inside the box.
-- Diana (firstname.lastname@example.com), January 01, 2002.
We've used moth balls to keep tomcats from spraying our basement windows and to keep our own cats out of houseplants.
-- Cindy in NY (email@example.com), January 01, 2002.
I used Black Pepper in my outside flowers to keep the cat next door from digging it up. DON'T use RED pepper it will hurt them.
-- Teresa (email@example.com), January 01, 2002.
Cats ate my dwarf banana tree... I know the problem. On herbs, could you possibly get that mesh wire... with small holes, and make a tallish top to the box? It is hardware cloth or something like that, but I made a rack for my eggs in the incubator with it and it is really easy to cut with the wire cutter and sturdy once you mold it to whatever shape. It would be like a tough cage over the top, but you can cut and shape the thing. Our cat ate the tops of plants, shredded plants, etc. Our cat also liked to dig in plants, and tipped one over. Once it was tipped it used it instead of the cat box, so BEWARE! :o) Must have decided to make me mad.
-- notnow (firstname.lastname@example.com), January 04, 2002.
Be careful with using mothballs on things you eat--they are toxic. I've heard of putting plastic forks (you might use clear if it's too ugly for you) upside down in the dirt so they get poked if they get into the box.
-- Ann Markson (firstname.lastname@example.com), January 04, 2002.
A friend of mine has a very unusual garden as she has found all kinds of unique pokey things from old silverware to odd bits of wire to pretty chopsticks and stuck them amongst her beds specifically to deter cats.

Research efforts hitting stride at Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve
Emily Graham has spent much of the summer around the St. Louis River estuary, collecting soil samples, talking to local experts and laying the foundation to research how mercury gets into fish.
Emily Graham has spent much of the summer around the St. Louis River estuary, collecting soil samples, talking to local experts and laying the foundation to research how mercury gets into fish.
She's not alone. This summer other researchers working around the estuary are analyzing fish for contamination, delving into biogeochemical processes in the water, creating a monitoring plan for an endangered species of marsh grass, examining how local people are engaged in governing environmental issues, and more.
All the researchers are working in cooperation with the Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve in their efforts to understand the environment better and search for ways to protect it.
At the same time, staff at the reserve's headquarters in Superior are preparing some of their own research projects while setting up stations that are part of a nationwide network to collect environmental information for monitoring and analysis.
"Our research program is still growing," said Shon Schooler, research coordinator for the Lake Superior NERR. "We have a couple of graduate students at work, and groups from University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities. Also, a United States Geological Survey researcher is in the middle of his project. Next year there will be these projects plus more starting. I think we'll have about 10 projects going in any given year from external researchers. And we haven't really started our own projects yet because we're still putting in monitoring systems to create baseline data."
The Lake Superior NERR, established in 2010 by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, is one of 28 estuaries in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System. The Lake Superior NERR covers nearly 16,700 acres of publicly owned marshes, uplands, rivers and Lake Superior shoreline that are part of the St. Louis River estuary in Douglas County.
As research coordinator, part of Schooler's job is to help researchers use the NERR for their work. Some of the scientists are employed locally while others are coming in from outside the area. Many are focusing on a wide variety of projects involving biology and chemistry.
Other researchers are examining questions in the social sciences, such as how people use and govern water resources.
"We're realizing more and more that management of a resource is about more than just the biogeophysical properties. It's also about getting people involved in managing the resources," Schooler said. "We're trying to better understand the estuary and make it a better place to live. We're really a public service organization trying to get information out to people."
Among the researchers using the Lake Superior NERR this summer is Graham, who is pursuing a doctorate degree at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Her first year of work is being funded by a NOAA research fellowship. She expects her work to take three years, although the NOAA fellowship program has been cut because of funding reductions.
Simply put, Graham is studying how toxic mercury winds up in fish.
Everyone understands mercury enters the St. Louis River through precipitation like rain and in groundwater runoff. But mercury simply isn't absorbed by fish. Microbes must first turn it into an organic substance that fish can eat.
"We know this happens but we don't know how," she said.
Graham is looking at "microbial communities" in the estuary to see which microbes could be converting the mercury. New genetic techniques developed in the past several years could be the key to scientists who want to see which microbes are digesting mercury and creating the "chemical transformations" that make it digestible for larger creatures.
Since starting her work June 1, Graham has set up labs, talked to local experts and taken soil samples from marshes and river bottom. She plans to return later this summer and again during the winter to collect additional samples.
She hopes to get funding to continue her research for another two to three years for analyzing samples and experimenting to simulate situations such as climate change and pollution to see how that affects the process. "I'm interested in how this process will change as our environment changes," she said.
While NERR staff members have been assisting other scientists and working on new research, Schooler said their own work largely has been focused on setting up a system to monitor water quality in the estuary.
NERR staff members are recording water quality information logged by submerged monitoring devices at the Oliver and Blatnik bridges. Two more devices will be put in place next summer, along with a weather station in Pokegama Bay.
They'll also use a portable "auto-sampler" that can take water samples every hour for 24 hours. That sampler can be used to record water quality changes that may occur quickly, such as after a heavy rain.
The data will be used to establish a baseline for the quality of the water as it stands today. Future scientists will be able to compare their current data to the baseline information to see how climate change may affect water quality. They also will be to use it for short-term issues, such as whether spring snowmelt sends "pulses" of salts or other contaminants into the river.
"There are all sorts of things that we can ask questions about, but that requires baseline data," Schooler said.
Like other locations in the chain of National Estuarine Research Reserves, the Lake Superior NERR will become a "sentinel site" that feeds its water quality data to NOAA to create a coast-to-coast picture that could be useful in detecting and monitoring climate change and other events.
As word spreads about the Lake Superior NERR, more researchers are likely to use the resource for their work, Schooler said.
"More people are getting to know about us," he said. "More people are coming out to take a look."
Those scientists will benefit from lab facilities that will be added to the Lake Superior NERR offices on Barkers Island. Researchers will then be able to process and analyze samples at the site.

Here is my setup:
(4) EX 572a in factory locations in a 94 merc cougar.
Blaupunkt Muechen HU
RF Power 400a4
Alpine Type R 12" Sub
The amp is powering the front to ex572a's, and is powering the alpine by bridging the back two channels.
I have things crossed over at about 70-80, and the gain on the full ranges at about 3/4, and around 3/4 on the sub.
The problem is that when I use any volume at all.....the 572a's just hurt my ears. The midbass is nice, but the tweeters produce a very bright harsh sound. The one resolve that I have found is to lower the treble on the HU to -1. This in turn takes away some of the SQ of the full ranges.
Is this what I should expect from these 572a's or is there something else that I can try, or that I have done wrong? Thanks!
