Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival and AIM
The American Institute of Mathematics and the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festival are delighted to announce their new partnership, which will allow the Festival to significantly increase the number of its events nationwide and get more kids engaged with math. Named after a noted professor at UC Berkeley, the Julia Robinson Mathematics Festivals show students a different, and more engaging, side of mathematics from what's typically presented in their classes at school. Festivals give students an opportunity to pursue mathematics collaboratively, working on problems and puzzles with other students and mathematicians.

AIM is the recipient of a five-year grant in the amount of $12.5 million from the National Science Foundation. This grant, which is part of the Mathematical Sciences Research Institutes program, will be used to support the participants of 100 workshops and 150 SQuaREs over the next 5 years. "AIM is very pleased to be counted as one of the 8 NSF-funded math institutes in the U.S." said Executive Director Brian Conrey. Our innovative style of workshop has led to the development of some really interesting and important mathematics over the last five years. We are delighted with this vote of confidence from the National Science Foundation." The SQuaREs program is a newer addition to the AIM programs. It supports teams of 4 researchers who have an ambitious three-year project. The team, or SQuaRE, visits AIM for an initial week to launch their project; they return a year later for a second week, and then get a third week amother year later. "The SQuaRE recipe really works", said Estelle Basor, AIM's Deputy Director who oversees the program. "The time-frame with the intense weeks followed by a long period to understand the ramifications of their work lead to really great results. The teams absolutely love this format!" In addition to the research workshops and SQuaREs, AIM has pioneered the Math Teachers' Circle program. Math Teachers' Circles are communities of problem solvers populated by professional mathematicians and middle school math teachers who meet regularly to develop their skill and appreciation for the usefulness of mathematics as a logical basis for problem solving. This program, directed by AIM's Brianna Donaldson, features a website mathteacherscircle.org which is a significant resource for teachers and mathematicians alike. Nearly 50 Math Teachers' Circles nationwide have arisen as a result of AIM's efforts. In the evaluation of the programs at AIM, NSF noted that AIM "plays a unique and valuable role within the US mathematical sciences research institutes," was impressed by "the commitment of AIM's staff to the institute's mission and methods" and was "uniformly impressed with AIM's commitment to diversity." better browsing on the Web The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) is pleased to introduce a new tool to the world of web pages - the knowl. Like the familiar hyperlink, knowls can be used to provide relevant, supplementary information and are referenced from within the body of a web page. But unlike the hyperlink, which simply takes you to a new web page, the knowl conveniently serves up the information at your original location with the click of a mouse button. With a similar click, the knowl then disappears. "The self-contained nature of knowls makes them useful in many different settings. They can be thought of as 'building blocks' that can be called upon when needed. I envision a time when the Internet has a repository of such knowls, reliable and ready to be referenced anywhere." says David Farmer, Director of Programs at AIM. Knowls were developed to support research projects in advanced mathematics, but they can be easily incorporated to enhance any website. Knowls creator Harald Schilly noted, "The technology for knowls is at least 10 years old, and the theoretical basis, known as transclusion, is more than 50 years old. Our contribution is to provide an interface that fits the way people browse the Web today." In addition to the examples in the paragraphs above, AIM has prepared a demonstration page with knowls for Rob Beezer's free textbook on Linear Algebra. The mathematics research projects which led to the development of knowls were funded by the Division of Mathematical Sciences at the National Science Foundation. Read about how to add knowls to your own website In June at AIM, teams of middle school teachers and mathematicians from around the U.S. participated in a workshop on "How to Run a Math Teachers' Circle." Math Teachers' Circles are groups of teachers and research mathematicians who meet regularly to work on mathematically rich problems. The intent is to develop teachers' mathematical problem-solving skills and confidence in approaching difficult problems while connecting them with the larger mathematical community. One example of a Math Teachers' Circle problem is featured in this week's Numberplay blog by Gary Antonick on NYTimes.com. This particular type of problem, called a "Mad Vet" scenario, can be used to explore questions in abstract algebra and graph theory, as described in an article by Gene Abrams and Jessica K. Sklar that appeared in the June 2010 issue of Mathematics Magazine. During this workshop, teams participated in example Math Teachers' Circle sessions and developed detailed plans for starting and sustaining their own Math Teachers' Circle. The participating teams were from Columbia, South Carolina; Eau Claire, Wisconsin; Greeley, Colorado; Richmond, Kentucky; San Diego, California; and Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Their new Math Teachers' Circles will begin meeting by Summer 2012. The first Math Teachers' Circle began at AIM in 2006, and since then the series of "How to Run a Math Teachers' Circle" workshops has helped develop a network of 31 Math Teachers' Circles in 20 states. The Math Teachers' Circle Network, based at AIM, provides mathematical and logistical resources to this growing community.
In January, 2011, AIM brought together mathematicians, graduate students, and industry and public agency representatives to work on a variety of sustainability problems, including renewable energy, air quality, water management, and other environmental issues. For more details, please see the announcement page.
The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) has been awarded a grant from the Tellabs Foundation to support a workshop for middle school math teachers. The teachers will join the AIM Math Teachers' Circle, which connects teachers with mathematicians to work on mathematical problem solving.
Mathematicians from North America, Europe, Australia, and South America
have resolved the first one trillion cases of an
ancient mathematics problem. The advance was made possible by a
clever technique for multiplying large numbers.
The numbers involved are so enormous that
if their digits were written out
by hand they would stretch to the moon and back.
The biggest challenge was that these
could not even fit into the main memory of the available computers,
so the researchers had to
make extensive use of the computers' hard drives.

We can tell it's time for you to get a new watch. Fortunately, OpticsPlanet carries a wide selection of many types of wristwatch, from high performance fitness watches and GPS watches to nautical timepieces that will not only look great, but give you additional information for your next voyage on open waters. Selecting the right wrist watch for you is a matter of considering your activity, personal style and your price range. We have great options no matter what the combination of those elements you land on, but be sure to look at a few different watches before you decide. For instance, we offer GPS watches that are great for running and hiking, but there are also options available that are better suited to golf. If you find yourself needing to know the distance to the green, a golf watch will better suit you than a running watch with a built-in heart rate monitor.
More and more watches today are including extra components like altimeters, GPS and pedometers, and while we have a great selection of these modern timepieces, we also strive to take care of those who want an old-fashioned watch that features advanced materials and engineering blended with a classic style. Check out some of the amazing watches from Wenger, Suunto and Garmin, and keep in mind that most orders over $29.95 receive Free Shipping!

Double Exposure by Asi Wind
$11.95A mind-blowing new take on a classic effect. Double Exposure by Asi Wind is a reality altering version of Triumph that happens within a borrowed camera under your spectators complete control. Performed by David Blaine on national television. For those of you who have seen the most recent special, Real or Magic, you know how powerful this effect is. There are no gimmicks or special applications needed. 100% impromptu. Just you, a deck of cards, and a borrowed camera are all that's necessary. -
Extended Play by Valdemar Gestur
Starting at: $24.95
Combining innovative concepts with minimal sleight of hand, Valdemar Gestur is truly unique. He incorporates elements we believe make for great magic and his methods are hands-off with little to suspect. The effects are direct and highly visual. Five tricks with over 13 variations. Performed and explained by the uber talented Shin Lim. -
Triple Change by Lance Pierce
$4.95The Triple Change is a magical transformation of a card three consecutive times. It happens on the face of the deck with just a wave of the hand. There is nothing to see and you end completely clean. A timeless color change performed and executed in a classical style with all the modern touches that make it so smooth and deceptive. -
WeFlex by Lance Pierce
$4.95A remarkable transformation of a playing card unlike any other. Taking place away from the deck, WeFlex is a single-card color change. It all happens at the fingertips, so it's all very open. With apparently just the flexing of a card back and forth, it changes right before your eyes. WeFlex is as beautiful as it is graceful, and in our opinion is one of the most elegant and magical color change ever created. -
Japan Ingenious by Richard Kaufman
$59.55In collaboration with Steve Cohen, Richard Kaufman brings us another beautifully bound book full of original magic. Japan Ingenious is a fine collection of tricks and routines that further cements the Japanese reputation for unusual thinking. Learn 65 effects from 21 of Japan's most creative magicians. It would be difficult not to find something that piques your curiosity. -
Flux Deal by Alex Moffat
$14.95A diabolical switch that allows for the seamless and constant change of cards dealt onto the table.
Switch one card or many cards, cause cards to visually change, force cards, and more. The Flux Deal is great for mathematical tricks, gambling demonstrations, and transpositions. The possibilities are endless!
The deal is not only imperceptible, but indistinguishable. With practice, the switch will even fool you.
Leap of Faith by David Regal
$7.95Leap of Faith is a beautifully constructed piece of visual card magic by David Regal. It has all the elements that make for a good card trick including presentation, misdirection, and sleight of hand. The effect is straightforward; a card magically travels from one place to another. If you didn't get that, David makes it even more clear in the video. We love how both the effect and method take use of the kings. Check out Kevin Ho's Fourgasm for a great way to start the trick off. -
The Art of Switching Decks by Roberto Giobbi
$54.95In The Art of Switching Decks, Roberto Giobbi, the world-renowned author of Card College and other modern classics of card magic, teaches dozens of methods for imperceptibly switching decks. More important, he shows that it isn't difficult manipulation that makes these switches totally deceptive--rather, it's psychological principles: principles that allow the reader to apply and modify deck switching techniques to suit any circumstance.
All this is accomplished without the use of special gimmicks or apparatus. The only things required to do these professional switches are decks of cards and your pockets. And along the way, Giobbi explains some very strong card magic.
Expert Card Technique by Jean Hugard & Frederick Braué
$14.95In this definitive work on card technique, step-by-step instructions teach you the correct methods for the basic manipulations and the more advanced flourishes, and only then allow you to learn tricks.
Offering the most foolproof methods available, Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue explain such basic manipulation as the palm, the shuffle, the lift, the side slip, the pass, the glimpse, the jog and the reverse. They detail various false deals, crimps and changes and the more advanced execution needed for forces, fans and the use of the prearranged deck.
The Complete Walton by Roy Walton
$134.95We are very pleased to announce that The Complete Walton is back in print.
These new volumes have been re-edited, printed and bound to an exceptional standard using the original diagrams. They are beautiful.
Dai Vernon once described Roy Walton as "Truly Brilliant". Read these books and you'll know why. The Complete Walton includes literally hundreds of effects using an ordinary deck of playing cards. The body of work clearly reveals how obsessed with playing cards Roy is, and is a collection you'll be coming back to for years to come.
Both volumes are included. That's over 600 pages covering well over 200 effects with playing cards.
Nomad by Helder Guimaraes
$7.95In this trick, the performer introduces two decks of cards, one red and one blue. After shuffling his deck, a spectator is asked to name any card. The performer takes the two red kings from his pack and drops them on top of the spectators deck. Instantly and without the performer even touching the spectator's cards the freely named selection appears in between the kings! The performer offers to do it again, only this time the spectator removes their red kings and drops them on top of the performer's deck. Miraculously a card appears in between them! For a kicker finale, the spectator's selection disappears from the performer's deck and appears in the middle of the deck they have been in control of the entire time! -
T Change by Jeff Prace
$4.95The T Change from Jeff Prace is a stunning color change that's surprisingly easy to do. Additionally, unlike similar color changes, the T Change doesn't leave a reversed card in the center, so you're left completely clean. From an ordinary deck, a card is turned face up and inserted into the center. Without any cover, the card visually morphs into another. It's simplicity is magical and the T Change is a great way to reveal a selected card regardless of your skill level. -
David's Cull by David González
Starting at: $14.95
Culling cards is an essential technique for the serious card expert and there are many methods available. Of these, David's Cull is one of the very best. David's cull is a work of beautiful simplicity. He has engineered a technique that is as certain as it is ingenious. Spread through the deck once and you can instantly produce any cards desired. We've watched David perform it many times. If you're serious about sleight of hand with cards, this is an essential addition to your arsenal. -
The Unreal Work by Paul Wilson & Jason England
Starting at: $19.95
The Unreal Work 2: Cheaters on a Train reveals more powerful methods for cheating at cards. Learn thirteen professional routines guaranteed to fool and fascinate your audience. Paul and Jason share secrets from their personal repertoires, drawing from decades of study into the world of crooked gambling. From devastating false shuffles, slug controls and false deals to baffling feats of skill and fascinating exposes, The Unreal Work 2 is an unmissable toolbox filled with material for anyone interested in gambling sleight of hand or card magic. -
Click by Valdemar Gestur
$4.95A visual color change performed under impossible conditions. A face-up card is secured to the top of the deck under a rubber band wrapped tightly around the cards. With a snap of the band down onto the card, it instantly changes. Not only can you see it, you can hear it change too! Click is extremely visual with nothing to suspect. Use it as a color change, revelation or ending to an ambitious card routine. The possibilities are up to you. -
Target by Valdemar Gestur
Starting at: $3.95
With no hands, threads or magnets, a deck mysteriously cuts itself to the exact location of a spectator's card. If that isn't enough, the magician may then command the card to be pulled from the center by an invisible force. With all eyes on the deck, this moment will leave your audience screaming. The secret is a versatile new gimmick you won't want to be without. It's undetectable and allows for everything to be handed out with literally nothing to find. Although the gimmick may be purchased at your local drugstore, you are welcome to purchase a supply from us. -
Flow Change by Valdemar Gestur
$4.95Visually change a playing card into something else of value, like a spectators selection. Flow Change is Valdemar Gestur's unique version of a classic color change in card magic. The difference? This method ends completely clean. The best part, it's extremely easy to do! -
Trixel by Valdemar Gestur
$7.95Several years ago we introduced you to Pixel, the visual masterpiece from David Jade that has since become one of our best selling tricks. Then came Trigger and now Valdemar Gestur is back at it with Trixel. In hindsight, Trixel is the reverse effect to Pixel. Instead of causing a selected card to leap to the top, free from the rubber band, you trap the selection with the rubber band after wrapping it around the entire deck moments before. The effect must be seen to believe! -
King Brand by Bill Goodwin
$7.95In honor of the 10 year anniversary of The Penumbra magazine, we're privileged to present this effect published in the first issue. For a decade now, King Brand has been a favorite trick of ours. Visually dynamic, the effect couldn't be simpler: The deck is removed and only four cards are presented, the two red Kings and and the two black fours. With one pair sandwiched between the other, they visually trade places under impossible conditions. The plot builds in three phases with the final trasposition happening in a spectators own hand. -
Anti-Faro by Christian Engblom
Starting at: $19.95
The Anti-Faro is a groundbreaking discovery and a singular leap forward into the design and construction of effects utilizing the faro.
It is no surprise Christian's method for unshuffling the cards has reached legendary acclaim in recent years. Once thought impossible to achieve, the Anti-Faro has evolved mechanically from a concept to an efficient technique with practical applications.
PCP by Kevin Ho
$2.95Four Jacks are counted between your hands as they seem to visually change into the four Aces. PCP was inspired by our very own Sixty Nine and is another great four-card revelation by Kevin Ho to add to your repertoire.
Revelations by Dai Vernon
$179.95It's been 30 years since the initial release of Revelations, the monumental video set that immortalized the life and work of perhaps one of the greatest magicians who ever lived - the Professor himself, Dai Vernon. In celebration, we are proud to offer the 30th Anniversary Box Set which features all 17 volumes of Revelations digitally remastered on 8 DVDs. Also included are three bonus DVDs that contain extremely rare footage of Vernon lectures from the 1970's and four audio CDs of Vernon lectures from the 1960s. Everything is packaged in a full color slipcase with two commemorative booklets making this set one of the most desirable magic keepsakes ever released. -
Fourgasm by Kevin Ho
$1.95Instantly produce four face-up cards as a display of skill or a dynamic introduction to an effect with this insanely awesome revelation from Kevin Ho.
Commodore 64 by Chris Mayhew
$9.95Instead of single cards switching places, like TiVo 2.0 for example, Chris has come up with a diabolical way to make a pair of cards change places with a single card! Even better, right? It looks like trick photography so don't blink or you'll miss the magic.
Within the explanation Chris teaches two variations, one of which is 100% angle-proof so you can use it in any situation! You'll also learn two extremely useful sleights that can be applied to countless other routines.
Think Stop by Paul Wilson
$2.95A collection of two effects beautifully condensed into one routine. Think Stop is a powerful cold-reading effect that requires very little skill.
From a shuffled deck, instantly know what card your spectator is thinking of. Then, without looking at the card, cause it to rise from the deck.
Bullet to the Brain by Paul Wilson
$7.95A unique twist on an old Harvey Rosenthal idea where two jokers appear around a thought of card. In this method Paul Wilson not only predicts the thought of card but causes it to vanish.
In hindsight you achieve two effects in one, both a prediction and vanish of a thought of card.
Scoop by Dan and Dave
$3.95Similar in concept to Autocatch, this effect will fool your friends into thinking that you can actually "scoop" a chosen card off the table with superhuman pinpoint accuracy between two face-up cards.
Dead Lock by Michael Stern
$4.95Michael's modern take on the old school Rising Card trick is great for both the beginner looking to dabble and the lazy professional. Although the method is easy, the effect stands strong.
After accidentally causing the wrong card to rise from the pack the magician magically changes it into the selection. Almost no sleight of hand is required and you end clean with the selection protruding from the middle of the deck.
Trigger by Valdemar Gestur
$11.95Trigger is a stunning and surprising effect that looks like trick photography. The solution is impossible to reconstruct, yet seems fair and is easily achieved.
After a card is shuffled into the center, the deck is wrapped tightly with a rubber band, sealing the card within. At your command, the band passes through the entire deck with the exception of a single card, which shoots out from the center for a dynamic and visual effect.
Maestro by Rene Lavand
$89.95Experience the incredible magic of Rene Lavand on 4 DVDs with 8 hours of performance, explanations and interviews.
Rene Lavand is a true master of magic. An elegant and dextrous magician who turns every performance into a theatrical experience. Now you can see Rene Lavand performing his professional show at the Ajuda National Palace in Lisbon, Portugal. Shot on multiple cameras and in high quality video this is an opportunity to see Rene Lavand at his best.
Magical Mathematics by Persi Diaconis
$29.95Magical Mathematics reveals the secrets of amazing, fun-to-perform card tricks--and the profound mathematical ideas behind them--that will astound even the most accomplished magician. Persi Diaconis and Ron Graham provide easy, step-by-step instructions for each trick, explaining how to set up the effect and offering tips on what to say and do while performing it. Each card trick introduces a new mathematical idea, and varying the tricks in turn takes readers to the very threshold of today's mathematical knowledge. For example, the Gilbreath Principle--a fantastic effect where the cards remain in control despite being shuffled--is found to share an intimate connection with the Mandelbrot set. Other card tricks link to the mathematical secrets of combinatorics, graph theory, number theory, topology, the Riemann hypothesis, and even Fermat's last theorem. -
Erdnase Unmasked by Richard Hatch
$34.95For over a hundred years, the identity of the author of Artifice, Ruse and Subterfuge at the Card Table, known colloquially as The Expert at the Card Table, has perplexed practitioners of magic and historians alike. For many, it is the last great, unresolved mystery of twentieth century magic. That is, until now.
Magicana is pleased to publish the findings of Richard Hatch, the world's pre-eminent authority on the subject, along with sleight-of-hand artist David Ben's profile of the author drawn from the content of the book. Together, they make a compelling case that one man - E. S. Andrews - was the author of this seminal text.
Triumph v136 by Ben Train & Syd Segal
$9.95The following approach was originally brought to the table by Syd Segal in Full Metal Jacket (2005) under the name Very Fair Triumph. Learn this updated handling by Ben Train who offers personalization, history and clear teaching instruction making this video a worthwhile investment.
Riffle Shuffle Action Palm by Michael Feldman
$4.95This method for obtaining a Top Palm is concealed in the action of shuffling the cards and can be performed nearly surrounded.
As a bonus, learn how to produce the palmed card from inside a card box.
Spring St. Aces by Steve Forte
$4.95As the cards are sprung face up from hand to hand, the dealer is able to stop dead on an Ace. This is repeated three more times until all four Aces have been found. An impeccable feat to say the least.
Spring St. Aces was created by Steve Forte and originally appeared in Channel One magazine as Springing the Aces.
Utopia by Dani DaOrtiz
$149.95Everyone is talking about him. His methods are unique, his presentations brilliantly entertaining. Now he reveals all on this incredible DVD box set. Four discs of wonderful magic plus an interview by Luis de Matos.
Incredible magic from one the world's most astonishing magicians… Dani DaOrtiz!

Kelly Baustian
Postdoctoral research fellow
School of Earth and Environment, University of Leeds, England
The microphysics of cloud formation and the impact of clouds on climate are some of the biggest unresolved questions in climate change research right now. As part of Ben Murray's research group at the University of Leeds in England, my work focuses on ice nucleation, which refers to the formation of ice crystals in clouds. Such crystals generally require a surface for nucleation, and in the atmosphere those surfaces are minute particles, or aerosols. We'd like to know more about how pollutants and particulate matter that get into the atmosphere influence climate through cloud processes. Will pollution lead to more or fewer clouds? How is that going to effect global temperatures? Right now we can't really say.
In the first week of November of last year, my colleague Samuel Dorsi and I traveled to Iceland. The overall goal of the trip was to find some fine-grained sediment smaller than 10 microns, which is material we think is going to get into the atmosphere, for later laboratory experimentation.
Glacial erosion produces very fine sediments, and along the southern coast of Iceland these sediments are spread out on extensive floodplains. Iceland is an extremely windy place, where powerful winds meet broad glacial floodplains. Huge amounts of dust get lofted into the atmosphere. These dust plumes are so large they can be seen in satellite images, streaming for hundreds of kilometers off the coast.
Working our way along the south coast of Iceland, we'd stop on the wide-open plains that lie between the glaciers and the North Atlantic. We'd hike out across pitch-black volcanic cobble and sand in search of deposits of fine sediments.
The retrieved samples are now safely stored in the freezer because we want to preserve the original composition and chemistry as much as possible. In the lab, we suspend the dust in tiny cloud droplets and observe the temperatures at which they freeze.
Results from our experiments can be used in atmospheric models and give us a better understanding of the effects of cloud on climate. For example, low, liquid-water clouds reflect a lot of solar radiation back to space and have a net cooling effect, but high clouds like cirrus are optically thin and let solar radiation in.

Jonny Wilkinson has little more than a 30% chance of featuring in England's Six Nations game against Ireland at Croke Park tomorrow after the most relentless injury jinx in sport struck again on the eve of the squad's departure for Dublin.
The World Cup-winning fly-half did not train with his team-mates yesterday and is having treatment on what is officially described as "a tight right hamstring". Brian Ashton, the head coach, is prepared to delay a final decision until tomorrow morning but Toby Flood is on standby to make his first full England start and Mike Catt has flown out as cover.

Not being served well
The state news has been interesting lately. The Shumlin administration wants to raise our property taxes and our gas taxes. In the the same broadcast we heard that there is consideration of paying college students to stay working in Vermont for five years after they graduate. Why not encourage them to stay in a state with lower taxes?
It is too expensive to live here, and we cant afford higher taxes.
Oh, and then there is the possibility of higher income taxes coming to Vermonters as well. We are not being served well by this administration.

Area non-profit uses Internet to assist with crime... |
Monday, 22 July 2013 00:00 | |||
For many people, social media is used for communicating with friends and family, posting pictures of family vacations, weddings, birthday parties and other special events. However, more and more, social media is becoming a huge marketing and promotion tool for businesses, as well as non-profits such as Little Dixie Community Action Agency, Inc. It is an easy, cost-free and effective means of communicating the agency's events and program highlights. It also aids in educating the community about the agency's programs and related services. And, as it turns out, it can be a very useful tool in other areas as well, or so was the case for Little Dixie CAA. Recently, a crime occurred at one of Little Dixie CAA's Head Start locations that resulted in the theft of a flatbed trailer. Upon discovery of the crime, Head Start staff reported the incident to the proper authorities. Brenda Needham, Little Dixie's Executive Director, requested the agency's social media administrators to post a picture of the trailer along with a short explanation urging anyone to contact designated staff with any news regarding the trailer. Within a matter of hours, one of the agency's employees located what appeared to be the trailer-in-question on a webpage designed for members to sell and/or purchase items.

Baby Blooms Classic Bouquet
Baby Blooms Classic Bouquet
At first glance, BabyBlooms baby clothing bouquets look just like arrangements of fresh baby flowers. Take a second look, though, and you'll see that they're so much more. The flower buds are actually hand-rolled items of baby clothing such as bodysuits, socks, bibs and hats made for infants 0-4 months old. Combine that with delicate silk flowers and foliage hand-tied into a colourful arrangement, and you've got a truly unique and unusual baby gift!

Crash kills South Wilmington man
From Staff Reports January 17, 2013 7:50AM
Updated: February 19, 2013 2:57PM
A crash Wednesday night claimed the life of a South Wilmington man.
Anthony J. Serena, 28, was killed, Grundy County Coroner John W. Callahan announced.
The crash occurred about 10:30 p.m. on Goodfarm Road in Goodfarm Township.
The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, Callahan said.
Callahan said preliminary investigation indicates Serena was eastbound on Goodfarm Road approaching the overpass for Interstate 55 when his pickup left the roadway and traveled down an embankment.
The unit then traveled 700 feet coming to a rest on I-55. Serena was the only occupant and was ejected from the vehicle.
The crash is being reconstructed by the state police, and the Gardner/Dwight Fire Department assisted at the scene.
The crash remains under investigation by Callahan and Grundy County Sheriff's Department.

Food For Thought
"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."- Bl. John Paul II

"Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded— here and there, now and then— are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as 'bad luck.'"- Robert A.

Why Would Apple Block HTC One X Shipments?

Scientists will tell you: There are no perfect computer models. All are incomplete representations of nature, with uncertainty built into them. But one thing is certain: Several fundamental projections found in Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports have consistently underestimated real-world observations, potentially leaving world governments at doubt as to how to guide climate policy.
At the heart of all IPCC projections are "emission scenarios:" low-, mid-, and high-range estimates for future carbon emissions. From these "what if" estimates flow projections for temperature, sea-rise, and more.
Projection: In 2001, the IPCC offered a range of fossil fuel and industrial emissions trends, from a best-case scenario of 7.7 billion tons of carbon released each year by 2010 to a worst-case scenario of 9.7 billion tons.
Reality: In 2010, global emissions from fossil fuels alone totaled 9.1 billion tons of carbon, according to federal government's Earth Systems Research Laboratory.
Why the miss? While technically within the range, scientists never expected emissions to rise so high so quickly, said IPCC scientist Christopher Fields. The IPCC, for instance, failed to anticipate China's economic growth, or resistance by the United States and other nations to curbing greenhouse gases.
"We really haven't explored a world in which the emissions growth rate is as rapid as we have actually seen happen," Fields said.
IPCC models use the emission scenarios discussed above to estimate average global temperature increases by the year 2100.
Projection: The IPCC 2007 assessment projected a worst-case temperature rise of 4.3° to 11.5° Fahrenheit, with a high probability of 7.2°F.
Reality: We are currently on track for a rise of between 6.3° and 13.3°F, with a high probability of an increase of 9.4°F by 2100, according to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Other modelers are getting similar results, including a study published earlier this month by the Global Carbon Project consortium confirming the likelihood of a 9ºF rise.
Why the miss? IPCC emission scenarios seriously underestimated global CO2 emission rates, which means temperature rates were underestimated too. And it could get worse: IPCC projections haven't included likely feedbacks such as large-scale melting of Arctic permafrost and subsequent release of large quantities of CO2 and methane, a greenhouse gas 20 times more potent, albeit shorter lived, in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide.
Arctic Meltdown
Five years ago, the summer retreat of Arctic ice wildly outdistanced all 18 IPCC computer models, amazing IPCC scientists. It did so again in 2012.
Projection: The IPCC has always confidently projected that the Arctic ice sheet was safe at least until 2050 or well beyond 2100.
Reality: Summer ice is thinning faster than every climate projection, and today scientists predict an ice-free Arctic in years, not decades. Last summer, Arctic sea ice extent plummeted to 1.32 million square miles, the lowest level ever recorded – 50 percent below the long-term 1979 to 2000 average.
Why the miss? For scientists, it is increasingly clear that the models are under-predicting the rate of sea ice retreat because they are missing key real-world interactions.
"Sea ice modelers have speculated that the 2007 minimum was an aberration… a matter of random variability, noise in the system, that sea ice would recover.… That no longer looks tenable," says IPCC scientist Michael Mann. "It is a stunning reminder that uncertainty doesn't always act in our favor."

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus

Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

"It definitely improves the look of Willow Lawn," said my friend, who ventured to the new spot with me on a Monday night for dinner one week after the restaurant opened. > Read more.
Overstuffed turkeys
Free Birds offers some giggles, but more eye-rolling
Thanksgiving season is upon us – a time for friends, family, and recklessly indulgent overeating. As we settle into our annual turkey-induced food coma, there's no better time to take in a festive holiday film. And Free Birds, for better or worse, has the distinguished honor of being one of the only Thanksgiving-themed movies currently on the market.
The film stars Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson as Reggie and Jake, two turkeys who can't stand the Thanksgiving tradition of watching their neighbors be plucked and served for dinner. > Read more.
