#tina fey #inside comedy #beautiful
God is woman, 'cause God is Tina Fey.
Hello my new possible friend.
My name is Irene, and I am awkward and pretty much of a loner.
I watch TV shows like a freak because I love them, and I always end up idolizing people. I can't help it.
Now, you may see that these imaginary friends of mine keep me pretty busy.
You are free to fangirl with me, if you wish.
Ps: I am so gay for Sasha Alexander.
Bye ♡

Cameo: Jonte "Too Tall" Hall
Our full interview with Jonte "Too Tall" Hall, Harlem Globetrotter.
Corner Life
For decades, Korean-American storeowners have faced struggles in Baltimore City. They still do.
Twenty years ago this month, Joel Lee, a 21-year-old Korean-American beginning his senior year at then-Towson State University, was robbed, shot in the face, and killed while heading to a classmate's home in Northeast Baltimore. "He wanted to borrow a computer-science book because he was determined to get his grades even higher this year," his friend, Folashayo Babalola, told The Baltimore Sun...
Rock Show
A new kind of festival comes to Carroll Park this month.
Pigtown's Carroll Park doesn't get too much activity—the occasional softball game, people visiting Mount Clare Museum House, or a neighborhood cleanup. But, on September 14, things will get a whole lot busier with The Shindig festival. Presented by Baltimore-based 24-7 Entertainment, the festival features a dozen rock bands. "I just wanted to throw a big rock-and-roll party," says Paul Manna,...
Comic Release
This year's Comic-Con looks to be bigger and better than ever.
Marc Nathan——who has owned Cards, Comics, and Collectibles in Reisterstown for nearly 30 years——used to travel to conventions throughout the country and wonder why he didn't have a Comic-Con in his hometown. So he started one at the Sheraton Towson in 1999. "The funny part was, I didn't realize I would be doing this for the rest of my life," he says with a laugh. Now in its 14th year, Baltimore...

Terrell Suggs discusses his passion for film and how he plans on stepping up to command a new era of Ravens defense.
The script might read something like this: It's February 2014, and in the snowy, windy swamps of New Jersey the greatest football sequel of all-time is unfolding. As the clock at MetLife Stadium ticks down, the Ravens, trailing by a single point in their quest for a second-straight Super Bowl victory, appear beaten. The Detroit Lions sit on the brink of the title. (Hey, this is Hollywood—anything...

These Baltimore-area high-school students raise the bar inside and outside the classroom.
The opportunities open to high-achieving public high-school students seem boundless today. But in truth, these students have also earned it, not just doing the required homework and scoring good grades, but actively seeking out challenging course work, meaningful after-school activities, and enriching summer "vacation" programs. They build competitive robots, master musical instruments, intern at...

You originally set out to be an illustrator, how did you end up an author of more than 80 books? You know, I wonder that myself all the time. I don't know. I went to school. I studied at Indiana University and I was a fine arts major and I had every intention of being an illustrator. And I moved to New York City and submitted my portfolio to Condé Nast and all the big magazines and, really, no...

Our interview with author Natalie Standiford.
I understand that, like Laura, you spent a semester in Leningrad. What aspects of the story are based on your experiences there? I spent the spring semester of my junior year in Leningrad in 1982. Most of the descriptions of the university, the dorm, the food, the city, and people's apartments are based on my memories of that time.

50 years later, August 28 is still a day about jobs and freedom.
Historians say the 1963 March on Washington culminated 50 years ago on the hot, humid afternoon of August 28, as a throng of some 250,000 people stretched a mile on both sides of the national reflecting pool from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument.

After losing the Jewish Times, publisher Andrew Buerger moves from print to probiotics.
Less than a year and half ago, Andrew Alter Buerger was the publisher of the weekly Baltimore Jewish Times—toiling away at the helm of a family newspaper business his great grandfather, David Alter, began when Woodrow Wilson was in the White House back in 1919. At its zenith in the late 1990s, this mini-media empire included Jewish publications in six different cities and the local lifestyle...

Meek Mill smiles and claims Kendrick Lamar's "Control (HOF)" verse is what Hip Hop needed, but that he is "the only [one] that's lyrically spittin' some street music and gettin' money." Last year, Meek Mill and Kendrick Lamar both appeared on "Power Circle," from Maybach Music Group's Self Made Vol. 2 compilation. This week, Kendrick's verse on Big Sean's "Control (HOF)" mentioned Meek Mill in his controversial bars claiming reign over his Rap peers. K Dot rapped, "Pusha T, Meek Millz, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Big Sean, Jay Electron', Tyler, Mac Miller /
I got love for you all, but I'm tryna murder you niggas."
Hours after the song leaked, Meek Mill appeared on Power 99, in his hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvia. Host Mina SayWhat asked Meek's thoughts on the verse. "He's not comin' at him in a disrespectful way, he's comin' at him in a competitive way," said Meek, who compared it to sports. "It's like if me and my homie playin' basketball—I'ma tell you: I'ma dunk on you, I'ma spin off you, I'ma give you 30 points a night like Lebron [James]. I'm pretty sure [NBA players] hang around each other in the club and all that, but [still trash talk competitively].
Meek said that his battle with a gold-selling (nearly platinum) peer is quite different from the local battles he's been involved with throughout his career. "People get it misunderstood. [On] Philly diss records, you don't even know a person, [and you saying] you're gonna blow they head off, shoot your mom with you see you. On some Rap stuff, you're like, 'Aight, bet. Put your vest on, 'cause doin' some shots too, havin' fun with it.' That's what Hip Hop about."
The former Grand Hustle Records artist did imply that he plans on responding to Kendrick. Unclear whether speaking to Kendrick's Black Hippy quartet with Jay Rock, ScHoolboy Q and Ab-Soul or just K-Dot, Mill stated, "I'ma tell y'all: y'all what y'all run; I run the streets." To the Philly emcee, he's the king of his own place in Hip Hop. "I'm in a lane by myself. I'm the only [one] that's lyrically spittin' some street music and gettin' money. Kendrick [Lamar and Black Hippy], I'ma tell 'em in a rap: y'all can run that backpack, I'ma run these streets." Backpack refers to a style of lyrical Hip Hop and sampling popular in the 1990s. Meek stressed that this competition is purely amicable. "We gonna have fun with it; get money. Hip Hop needed that."

Is It Your Hope That Reformation Bible College Will Become a New "Christian Harvard?"

Not only is that not my hope, but I actively hope and pray against such a conception. Christian, yes, Harvard, no. What, I wonder, do we actually mean when we are hoping for a "Christian Harvard?" A judgment of charity would assume we all agree on the "Christian" part. What we mean is an institution that is faithful to all that the Bible teaches. What Christian wouldn't want that?

MEXICO was a trip.
We are back! Just wanted to share a few photos from our vacation to Mexico!
DAY 1: Got to the airport three hours early because we had a few nervous travelers with us. We went with our friends, Ryan & Joan. First beverage exactly at 6am helped lighten the mood. Made me smile when Thomas stopped at every gate to look at the planes…first time flyer. ;) After boarding, he was glued to the window while I watched reruns of the Hills, drinking vodka and ginger ale. Successfully landed. Cleared customs and got on the bus. The guide was teaching us how to speak a few things in Spanish..'Mas cervesas por favor'. We arrived at our resort…huge! Checked in and went straight to the lunch buffet. The beach was gorgeous…so blue. Swam for a bit and then went to the pool. Um the biggest pool ever…swim up bars, water fountains. We had quite a few cocktails. Played a little volleyball with some other vacationers. Back to the beach…this time the waves were much stronger. I lost my sunglasses…so did Joan. For dinner we ate at the French restaurant. Ordering off the menu is pretty hilarious because we had the slightest clue as to what we were getting. After dinner we caught the end of a Micheal Jackson show…not bad, but I was tired.
DAY 2: Booked our excursions. Then got some spots at a cabana and swam at the pool. Loving the Bahama Mamas! We took out a catamaran at the beach. Ryan got sick so we turned back. Boo. Thomas and I went kayaking instead. Got to talk to Jax! He said he was busy playing games. 'I you Dat', 'I you Mommy'. My heart just melted. He sounded so big. Just wanted to squeeze him so tight. After dinner at the Italian restaurant, we went for a walk on the beach and saw a giant sea turtle. But then got kicked out not knowing that the beach closes. And so does the pool. At 8 pm…but that didn't stop us. The guys went to buy a cigar, but Ryan rushed back to get us. Not sure what caused it, but Thomas' face swelled up out of nowhere! We think it may have been the acid they were using to clean the cement. Benedryl, a shower, and cold soda cans later, it didn't go down much.
DAY 3: Thomas' face was still swollen. He was a trooper, just kept his sunglasses on. Our first excursion was the jungle tour. We drove little boats to the coral reef and then went snorkeling. Tried to take photos but not too many turned out. It was fun but my skin was burning not used to wearing so much sunscreen. We got back to the resort relaxed. Poor Thomas was wiped from the Benedryl…hoping it would go away soon.
DAY 4: We went to XPLOR, we didn't really do our research very well because it was a theme park. It was fun but the lines were awful. We went zip lining on 14 different lines. The tallest one was the best. 302ft…80sec. I wasn't a fan of the surprise water slide in the middle. We took these little amphibious cruisers for a drive around the 'jungle' and swam in the caves. Didn't really enjoy dinner at the resort's Hibachi grill because I was in and out of the bathroom all night! I finally just went back to the room and got some medicine. Then we enjoyed some live music in the courtyard.
DAY 5: We missed our kayak tour. Got to talk to our little man again though…ahh I miss him. Talking like crazy. My mom said Casen went to Homecomer's (tiny fair in my hometown) with his cousin London. We spent the day relaxing at the pool. Played a few pool games and won a bottle of tequila. Let's just say got a little tipsy. I didn't eat lunch, decided to lay out. After the swim up bar closed we went to the beach. Took another swim and I was raft surfing on the waves. Stumbled back to our room, ate a bite of room service and passed out. About 10pm Thomas woke me up saying he had back pain. Jumped up to help. It wasn't going away. He finally let me call the on-site medic. Got an IV and still didn't get better.
DAY 6: Called the ambulance and got to the hospital emergency about 2:30. He was admitted for kidney stones at 5am. Really?! Meanwhile I was trying to deal with payment. In Mexico you have to pay for everything upfront and then your insurance will reimburse you. What a mess…$600 ambulance ride?! After several x-rays and ultrasounds it was a kidney stone…3mm. Just a waiting game. Stayed the night in the Cancun Hospital. Grrr. What a vacation!
DAY 7: Still hasn't passed. Phone dead and out of cash. Sitting in the room watching the Olympics in Spanish…the FAB FIVE, swimming, ping pong and kayaking. After a nap and a side of french fries…he finally passed it and we were released at 6pm. Agh!! This tiny thing caused that much pain. I'm so glad he is better now. Took a taxi back to the resort. Couldn't wait to take a shower. Our friends were so bored without us. Ate at the the Hibachi restaurant again, so yummy. After dinner we watched fire dancers in the courtyard…pretty incredible. Super bummed it was time to leave, but we were both ready to eat normal food again and see our boys!
Long story short. It was a fun break from our everyday routine, just one too many hiccups. Lessons were learned for sure. But we are home safe…and with a tan!
Hasta luego Mexico.

Carnival season comes to Big Easy
If you go
Gulf Coast
Carnival festivities have begun in New Orleans. For a complete list of events, visit www.carnivalneworleans.com. New Orleans is not the only town to celebrate Carnival. For other events on the Gulf Coast, visit www.gulfcoast.org/visitors/events/mardigras.

NEW ORLEANS — Christmas wreaths and holiday parties have given way to king cakes and street parades as the Carnival season kicked off recently along the Gulf Coast.
In New Orleans, the noisy and colorful streetcar ride of the Phunny Phorty Phellows troupe marked the first street appearance of the Carnival season. The costumed revelers boarded a St. Charles Avenue streetcar on Twelfth Night, the traditional start of the Carnival season that for many Christians also marks the end of the Christmas season.
As a brass band played, the masked troupe sipped champagne, tossed the first Mardi Gras beads of the season and gobbled up king cake — Carnival's signature pastry topped with sugar in the traditional Carnival colors of purple, green and gold.
Mardi Gras — Fat Tuesday — falls on Feb. 12, and record crowds are expected with the NFL's Super Bowl championship game taking place in New Orleans about a week earlier, on Feb. 3. In the weeks leading up to Mardi Gras, more than 100 parades will roll through streets or float down waterways in dozens of communities along the Gulf Coast.
"Mardi Gras really is a shared cultural event that spans the entire Gulf Coast," said Beth Carriere, executive director of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Mardi Gras was first marked in 1699 when French explorers stopped for the festival along the Mississippi River, south of what 19 years later would become the settlement of New Orleans.
In the early 1700s, celebrations cropped up as French colonists settled in Mobile, Ala., and Biloxi, Miss. Mobile has the oldest community celebration, dating from 1703. Those communities still hold dozens of parades in the weeks leading up to Mardi Gras, and Mobile has a museum dedicated to its Carnival history.
There are the festive street parades, where watchers plead for beads, doubloons and other trinkets from maskers riding huge floats. But there also are the private masked balls, at which debutantes take their bow.
In coming weeks, the revelry will reach inland to cities such as Natchez, Miss., and Shreveport, La.
Like New Orleans, Natchez and other Mississippi towns have organized Carnival clubs with formal balls, royalty and parades.
In south Louisiana's Cajun country, Mardi Gras includes costumed revelers on horseback who ride from farm to farm collecting birds and other ingredients for gumbo.
Some of the bigger parades in New Orleans will include celebrities. This year, actor Gary Sinise and New Orleans musicians Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews and Harry Connick Jr. will lead the parade of the Krewe of Orpheus on the evening of Lundi Gras, the day before Fat Tuesday.
The end of Carnival is marked by Ash Wednesday, the day after Fat Tuesday, when Lent begins as the faithful prepare for Easter.

The 50 greatest war films of all time
Fall in for TONY's list of mighty military movies.
Thu May 26 2011
What better way to honor the sacrifice of Memorial Day than with a ranked list of cinematic greatness? TONY Film has slogged through its own basic training to arrive at the 50 ultimate war movies—and not merely the ones with the biggest battle scenes (though expect plenty of ammo). Rather, here are the most profound statements, pointed and patriotic alike, on the distinctly human condition of fighting. We offer the list to you, our readers, along with our sharpest salute. Why not put on your war face and sound off, in the comments section below?
Inglourious Basterds (2009)
Quentin Tarantino makes the WWII film his own: violent, verbose and endlessly entertaining. There's plenty of bloodshed, but this gloriously demented pulp fiction is more about the destructive power of words. In QT's universe, the right turn of phrase—especially when tripping from the malevolently multilingual tongue of Nazi commandant Hans Landa—can kill both body and spirit.—Keith Uhlich
Ride with the Devil (1999)
You wouldn't expect anything less complex from director Ang Lee (The Ice Storm, Brokeback Mountain), whose oblique take on the Civil War—specifically guerrilla fighting in Missouri—thrilled critics and mystified crowds. A pre-Spidey Tobey Maguire anchors the movie in sympathy, while Jeffrey Wright electrifies as a liberated slave.—Joshua Rothkopf
Twelve O'Clock High (1949)
Gregory Peck had already arrived as a magnetic onscreen presence by the time this minutely detailed WWII Air Force drama gave him his most ambitious role to date, as a stern disciplinarian whose leadership transforms a bomber unit into a well-oiled machine. The ultimate praise: The movie was required viewing at military-service academies for decades—Joshua Rothkopf
Hell in the Pacific (1968)
Two soldiers—one American, the other Japanese—are marooned on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean during the height of WWII and must work together to survive. Director John Boorman crafts a potent existential parable out of their plight (Jean-Paul Sartre would be proud) while also allowing the great Lee Marvin and Toshiro Mifune to rage with crowd-pleasing gusto.—Keith Uhlich
In Which We Serve (1942)
Let's give it up for wit-of-all-trades Nol Coward, who wrote, codirected (with David Lean), starred in and even composed the score for this veddy British WWII naval tale, about a shipwrecked crew and their valiant efforts to carry on with stiff upper lips.—Joshua Rothkopf
Sands of Iwo Jima (1949)
John Wayne was born to the swagger of a certain kind of war film, neither especially negative nor devoid of a soldier's vulnerability. This celebratory recreation of the title's WWII Allied triumph accommodates plenty of heart-thumping jingoism but also the fatalism of sniper fire.—Joshua Rothkopf
Ballad of a Soldier (1959)
A delicate Russian-made tribute to that nation's staggering sacrifice during WWII, Grigori Chukhrai's drama concerns a teenage infantryman's journey back home for a six-day break, a reward for taking out two German tanks. He marvels at the rape of the land—and also connects with a beautiful girl. It's a film about the value of the fight.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Red Badge of Courage (1951)
The verdict is still out what could have been the full edit of this Civil War picture, which was drastically cut to under 70 minutes after poor test screenings. Given the talent of the director—John Huston, whose next film was The African Queen—we're inclined to believe he was onto something special with Stephen Crane's classic. Enough of Huston's noirish vision remains.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Great Escape (1963)
Made at the peak of Hollywood's studio system and a flawless example of robust mainstream entertainment, John Sturgess's protoblockbuster turned Steve McQueen into a marquee idol—he gobbles up the lens even before he jumps the barbed-wire fence of his WWII POW camp on a motorcycle. Amazingly, the story is a real-life one.—Joshua Rothkopf
The Sun (2005)
In the final days of WWII, twitchy Japanese Emperor Hirohito (Issei Ogata in a spectacularly oddball performance) holes himself up in an underground bunker while Douglas MacArthur and his troops inch closer to the palace. Russian director Alexander Sokurov's haunting character study is a dreamy and disquieting look at an enigmatic man sliding from power.—Keith Uhlich

Ten x Ten Challenge: Day 2. Swains Lane of Pain Challenge
Swains Lane in Highgate, North London is a narrow road running between the grounds of Highgate Cemetery, the Victorian burial site where Karl Marx rests. It's not a long climb (840 metres) but is certainly one of the steepest gradients (about 15%) you can find in the capital. Its location beside this Gothic cemetery with its railed walls, creeping ivy and crumbling tombs and the twisting, narrow ascent makes Swains Lane somewhat eerie. This voluptuous and leafy part of London is also rather affluent so, whilst you attempt repeats up Swains Lane, Highgate West Hill or Hillway (known at Rapha as the 'Faffenberg'), you will see locals roaring past in big black Range Rovers or trying to keep their yapping Chihuahuas on a leash as they carry organic foodstuffs home for brunch. Today myself and Ben Brown successfully did ten repeats of the bugger in just under 45 mins, perhaps not unprecedented but no walk in the park (or cemetery).

I'm not from round these parts so when I realised my Mum lives just a few miles north of Rapha HQ I said I'd go see her after a day at work… bugger me, the route's only up this hill innit?! Still, getting back was easy and I didn't have to do it ten times :-)

During a recent vulnerability assessment in the Galápagos Islands, scientists from CI and partner organizations revealed that climate change may reduce upwelling currents which bring cold, nutrient-rich waters to the ocean's surface – a development which would have devastating effects on wildlife populations and the local tourist economy.

From Poisons to Prescriptions
Cone snails have long been prized for their shells; at an auction in 18th-century Amsterdam, a one-inch cone snail shell sold for more than a Vermeer painting. Although this may seem outrageous, there may soon come a day when the snails have an even greater value for an entirely different reason.

Home to a thriving downtown district and Penn State University, State College is one of the most unique and youthful places in Pennsylvania to call home. This classic Pennsylvania borough is home to more than 42,000 residents, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, showing that this is a small, quaint college town that comes alive with students living in State College apartments for rent every fall. Because of the downtown district's many restaurants, specialty stores, sporting events and festivals, there are plenty of reasons why apartments for rent in State College are special and exciting.
There are several cultural attractions for prospective residents looking at State College apartments for rent, including the State Theatre, the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, the Douglas Albert Gallery and the Penn State Downtown Theatre Center. Since this is also quite the college town, you can expect to see plenty of excellent restaurants and nightlife while living in apartments in State College, especially in the downtown area. The city is also sandwiched between two golf courses, so you will have plenty of opportunities to work on your swing. One of the most renowned green spaces in the area is the Arboretum at Penn State, a beautiful attraction that works with the university to show off the area's best flowers and plants.
The city's population has grown by more than 10 percent from 2000 to 2010, and the area's affordability is definitely one of the reasons. According to City-Data, the 2012 cost of living index for State College apartments for rent was just around 5 percent more expensive than the U.S. average, making State College apartments very affordable options for Pennsylvania residents. AreaVibes gave State College a liveability score of 77 because of the area's high graduation rates, great local amenities, stable housing market and low crime rates.
It goes without saying that Pennsylvania State University is the city's top institution. Considered one of the best publicly funded universities in the Midwest, Penn State draws in thousands of students into State College every semester. The university is also State College's top employer, showing that higher education is by far the biggest industry here. However, the Mount Nittany Medical Center, Wamart and Raytheon also make up a good chunk of the employment for State College residents, according to the city's official website.

Message from the group owner
I founded this group to give NYC moms and moms-to-be a forum to chat, vent, rave, rant and seek advice about all the daily or not-so-daily events and struggles we all face in this great city that is so different from any other place in the world. We deal with unique issues considering transportation, living space, budgets, childcare, schools and many more so I feel it is important to have fast and easy access to answers from other mothers going through the same situations or from those who have already been there.
We'd love to hear your stories, tips, must-haves, avoids etc. and build a nice support system for everyone in NYC having babies in 2010. I am going to try to update and post often to keep the group going, it looks like many other NYC groups are kinda dead (aka sporadically active).
Come back often, make friends and help each other to make one another's lives as easy as possible. Have fun with it!

Likely to sell-out! The Sydney Opera House Guided Backstage Tour regularly sells out weeks in advance, so book now to avoid disappointment. You'll gain "exclusive access" to areas of the Sydney Opera House normally reserved for staff and performers on a two-hour backstage tour of one of the world's "must-see" attractions. Sit in the orchestra pit, stand where legends have performed, go inside the stars' dressing rooms and hear about the real-life dramas that go on behind the curtain.
- Backstage two-hour tour of the Sydney Opera House, one of the world's most famous performing arts centers
- Exclusive access to areas normally reserved for performers and staff
- Private breakfast in the Green Room
- Illuminating commentary from your expert guide
What You Can Expect
Your two-hour backstage tour of the Opera House begins at 7:00am to ensure you can access the "inner sanctum areas", normally reserved for performers and crew and restricted later in the day. After gaining exclusive insights into the inner workings of the famous Opera House, you will head back to the Green Room (closed on Sundays and Public Holidays), the private domain of stars, performers and staff, for a full Australian breakfast with your guide. After breakfast you then have the rest of the day free to enjoy in Sydney.
As a would-be performer on this backstage tour of the Sydney Opera House, you can let your imagination run wild. Imagine:
- Standing on-stage in the world-famous Concert Hall or Opera Theatre, emulating superstars such as Bryn Terfel, Dame Joan Sutherland and Rudolph Nureyev
- Striding through the orchestra pit like a maestro, and stepping up onto the conductor's podium, baton in hand
- Relaxing in the stars' dressing room complete with Steinway grand piano, of course!
- Exploring the working areas of the Opera House, the domain of stagehands and crew
Customer Reviews
August 2013
Great tour.
March 2013
Our tour guide Steve was fantastic!!! He was incredibly knowledgable and so passonate about the Opera House. The breakfast was REALLY GOOD as well and not like other crappy tour meals. If you are willing to wake up really early on your vacation then this is a must tour.

Watersports participants typically play hard and fall harder. Because of this, they demand a life jacket that moves with their body, protects them upon impact with the water, and offers some degree of flotation. In the United States, the typical life jacket for this type of activity is a Coast Guard-approved Type III life jacket. The Coast Guard label on the inside of the jacket will typically specify if a life jacket is intended for this activity.
As the popularity of watersports has grown, manufacturers have responded with specialty jackets suited for aggressive riders. While some of these jackets are Coast Guard-approved, many lack the required flotation for Coast Guard-approval. Retailers of non Coast Guard-approved (non-CGA) jackets are careful to specify that these jackets are only permissible for use on a private body of water or for use by riders at sanctioned competitions. Outside of those two exceptions, non-CGA jacket will not meet the wear or carriage requirements in the United States.
Liquid Force Cardigan
An extreme example of a non-CGA jacket is the Liquid Force Cardigan ($109.00) competition vest. Our testers noted that it was essentially a wetsuit top, though in fairness, it is marketed as such and makes no promise of flotation whatsoever. It is designed without straps, buckles or zippers, and has just enough padding to take the sting out of an unexpected spill. Our testers could not recommend this vest for any activity where flotation is desired or required.
O'Neil Outlaw Comp and Law
The O'Neill Outlaw Comp ($130.00) is also not Coast Guard-approved, but it offers substantially more flotation than the Cardigan. At first glance, you might even guess it is Coast Guard-approved. That is, until you compare it side by side to the O'Neill Law ($130.00). The Law is essentially the same design, with thicker panels to provide the flotation needed to secure Coast Guard approval. Both jackets fit well, but testers favored the Outlaw over the Law because it was less bulky and hot.
Ski Pro Impact Vest
The first thing that struck us about the Coast Guard-approved Ski Pro Impact Vest ($49.99), was the label on the outside that stated "Impact Tested to 100mph." To make such a claim, the vest must use oversized components and extra stitching to prevent the jacket from disintegrating upon impact with the water. Although speeding at 100 mph is highly unlikely for most recreational boaters, 50 mph+ isn't out of the question. The Ski Pro was the "Staff Pick" in this category because it had a snug yet comfortable fit. Testers did comment that the jacket gets hot after awhile, but you could wear this jacket for hours provided you were getting wet periodically.
Baltic Rekord
We included the European marketed Baltic Rekord ($122.63) 50N device in this category even though it is not designed for aggressive watersports performance. It looks somewhat similar to a US Coast Guard-approved Type III but is more suitable for lounging around the boat due to the fact it lacks buckles. Even though the Rekord had a drawstring to cinch the bottom of the jacket, without buckles, it rode up easily when in the water. Swimming in this jacket was challenging, and the metal zipper concerned us when we realized it could hit your teeth, if your head snapped forward.

So I though I had some solder beads or shunts just rattling in the controller box. I finally get the controller open and guess what falls out. A resistor. R01 resistor just fell out of its hole. But everything else looks fine. I soldered it back in and it works fine.

Dr. Randall Engle was awarded a grant from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) to develop an assessment battery for Navy SEALs. This battery will be administered in all the venues in which SEALs work so it will be implemented on mobile devices such as the iPhone. The goal of this grant is to develop and test a battery of fluid intelligence and working memory capacity tasks that would be accessible to researchers and participants over the web. Kenny Hicks and Jeff Foster, members of Dr. Engle's Attention and Working Memory Lab, have taken the first step toward creating a reliable web- based cognitive testing tool using the programming language Real Studio. Real Studio does not require researchers to purchase licenses, is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems, and can be hosted on the web or potentially on a desktop computer in a recruiter's field office.
Jenay Beer, graduate student in the School of Psychology, gave a TED talk at the TEDxGeorgiaTech event in April 2012. The TEDx talk covered a multi-disciplinary research group investigating the use of the PR2 robotto help older adults age-in-place. The research group is led by Dr. Wendy Rogers from the School of Psychology, and Dr. Charlie Kemp from Biomedical Engineering.
Dr. Bruce Walker was awarded a grant from ESPN (in partnership with Georgia Tech's GVU Center) entitled "Making Fantasy Football More Accessible and Engaging Via Multimodal Interaction". As part of ESPN's corporate mission "To serve sports fans. Anytime. Anywhere." features such as fantasy football help to keep fans connected and immersed throughout the NFL season. Although this feature is highly enjoyable and engaging for sighted users, it is largely not accessible to visually impaired or print-disabled users. Walker's project involves the development of advanced auditory and multimodal displays of team and player stats, to make ESPN's fantasy football accessible and enjoyable for the many visually impaired sports fans. At the same time, this offers a unique way to increase the enjoyment of current users by providing a more immersive multi-sensory environment through the use of auditory information along with the visual data that is currently displayed.
Dr. Bruce Walker was awarded an NSF grant entitled "Multimodal Technology Tools for Universal Access to STEM Education under the Common Core Curriculum". Given the importance of interpreting data, educators have made the teaching of graph concepts a core component of primary and secondary mathematics education. Unfortunately, the visual nature of a typical number line or graph presents a major disability for those with visual impairment. The core purpose of Walker's NSF project is to develop software tools that make STEM education more accessible, and to ensure that those tools are based on scientific foundations and are empirically evaluated and validated in real classroom learning settings. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense…" Walker's overarching goal is to ensure that technology is developed with the end user in mind. All aspects design, implementation, adoption, and use of a system or device can be enhanced by considering the perceptual, cognitive, and social needs and abilities of those who will use it.
