Mar 27 2006 / Monday
Josh Grant won his second Supercross Lites main in a row last weekend in Detroit, which is his third win of the season. Josh got out front by lap two and cruised the remaining 13 laps for the win. By finishing in front of Millsaps, Josh still has a mathematical chance to win the Lites Championship. Congrats and good luck at the final next weekend in Houston.

Moment exists today because seven years ago, nobody was listening. The industry was oblivious to the community, and when we couldn't buy the skis we wanted, we decided to make them ourselves. We worked carefully with the best materials we could find, because breaking one meant spending days pressing out a new pair. We did it by hand, because there was no other way. While years of practice have made us faster, the process and passion remain the same. Moment is growing, but please don't call us businessmen. We are skiers. We still design, press, and test all our skis in the heart of the Sierra Nevada Range. We still do it all by hand, because that's how we believe skis should be made.

I had to add more flour because the batter was far too thin to form any sort of ball. Even with the extra flour, the cookies still flattened out and burned. I managed to save some, but with the ingredients being as costly as they are, it was a shame to have to throw more than half the batch away.
I love this recipe because it's easy to put together and i make it every year for Christmas and it's one of the best.

Summer Camp, Take Two
Last year at this time, I was a total wreck. I was sending my nine year-old off to sleepaway camp on the other side of the country, where she didn't know a soul. Granted, I had gone to camp there and I knew the owners and their (now grown) children.
But it was so far away, and she was so young, and seven weeks was SUCH a long time for her to be gone. The self-doubt was overwhelming, and the rationalizations I'd come up with were no longer all that convincing. Was it really that important that she get out of LA for a while? Was it really that crucial for her to be independent? Did it really matter if she made friends who lived in another part of the country?
I had trouble sleeping, I cried a lot, and I got super defensive whenever anyone gasped when I told them about my daughter's summer plans. But, oh, how things change. This year, sending her off to camp is a whole different ball of wax. She loved it last summer, just like I knew she would, and she's been counting the days until camp starts again since almost the day she got home last August.
She's been Skyping with her camp friends all year, and I even took her back to Pennsylvania in January for a bunk reunion/sleepover. At camp, she had to do chores like sweeping the floor and cleaning the toilet, she had to make choices about what to eat, and she had to send her clothes to the laundry and then fold them and put them away when they came back each week. At home, she was more mature, more responsible, and more willing to help out without complaining.
This year, I'm still sad that she's leaving me for seven weeks, but knowing that she's going back to good friends and a place that feels like home to her makes it so much easier. When people gasp that she goes away to camp for the whole summer, I don't feel the need to defend that choice anymore. My stock answer is that sending her to camp is the most unselfish thing I've ever done in my life. And it really is. Sure, I'd love to have her home with me. But I know that for her, going away is so much better, just as it was for me when I was her age. And besides, with my son home without her, I get the gift of seven weeks without having to listen to them fight.
Last year, when I got my daughter on the bus and watched her drive away, I sobbed for hours after she left. But you know something? This year, I don't think I will.
Originally published on ModernMom
Loved this post -- my daughter, age eight, is leaving in a few weeks for her first session at camp in Michigan. It's the same camp I went to as a child (as did MY mother). I'm excited for her to go, not worried at all, and don't understand the parents who look at me and say, "you're sending your daughter away for FOUR WEEKS??" Heck, I'd send her for all seven if I had the money. She's going to have a great time, learn a lot, and I also am loving the idea of there being no fights with her younger brother!! Yay, camp! It's one of the best things you can possibly do for your child's growth.

Drought's effects force moratorium on all new wells
By Lisa Treiber-Walter
A 90-day moratorium on all new permitted wells in Gillespie County was enacted Aug. 13 by the Hill Country Underground Water Conservation District's (HCUWCD) board of directors.
The new restrictions, spurred by critical drought conditions throughout the Fredericksburg area, include all irrigation wells (including landscape irrigation), along with municipal and commercial wells.
The moratorium does not prohibit new wells used solely for domestic purposes, explained Paul Tybor, district general manager. It also does not preclude replacement of existing wells, wells used solely for livestock purposes or wells that would alleviate conditions threatening health, safety or the general welfare of the public.
The moratorium is in effect for 90 days and would expire in mid-November, but, historically, moratorium extensions have been used by the HCUWCD board in the past.
"The moratorium will continue until the current drought is broken and aquifer conditions improve," Tybor said.
According to the HCUWCD Local Drought Index, as of Aug. 5, Gillespie County is in a "critical drought."
Those figures are based on:
• Water levels monitored from two Ellenburger Aquifer wells located where heavy pumping occurs for municipal and irrigation purposes;
• Rate of flow of the Pedernales River from data collected by the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) gauge on U.S. Highway 87 South;
• Cumulative rainfall amounts measured the previous 10 months at the official weather station in Lady Bird Johnson Municipal Park, and,
• The Palmer Drought Severity Index reading for the Edwards Plateau.

Obviously, they are not normal, but how often do they occur? I know that without flaps or slats, you have to add probably 50-60 knots to your landing speed, so how safe would this be? If you are landing at an airport that has a short runway, but would normally be a non-issue with slats-flaps, would you have to divert to someplace that has a much longer runway, so you don't kill your T/Rs and brakes trying to slow down from 210-230kts?

We guessed it! Topshop have announced today that the Hollywood star Kate Bosworth is indeed the star of their mysterious 'Who's That Girl' video campaign.
But this is no ordinary advert.
The Superman actress stars in the high street brand's first ever 360 degree interactive digital campaign. Which means that the short film features a musical performance by the actress, who is wearing a custom-made beaded gown and shoes that she designed alongside the Topshop team, both of which will be available to buy on a special 'made to order' basis. The make-up used in the film will also be available to buy on topshop.com.
The glamorous film was produced by Bosworth's fiancé, film director Michael Polish, and is inspired by the famous Michelle Pfeiffer piano scene from 1980s film The Fabulous Baker Boys. The song performed, Winter Wonderland, will be available to buy from iTunes alongside a selection of Bosworth's past movies.
'I think Kate looks effortlessly cool in the film,' says Topshop's creative director, Kate Phelan – and it's hard to disagree.
But what do you think? Watch it now and decide if you'll be buying the dress, song or make-up...

Last week the Firehouse Pizzeria and Grill opened its doors for a special dinner to feed the Kuna firefighters and police officers. "We are really community minded and wanted to show our appreciation to the people that work hard to protect us," said Kevin Byington, new owner of the restaurant. The firemen looked right at home in what used to be Kuna's Fire Station until 1997. Byington served various custom as well as standard selections of pizza and drinks to several of our men in uniform. Special thanks to the Byington's for this kind act of service.

Atlantis is still in orbit, but Endeavour arrived at Launch Pad 39A this morning and we are just over three weeks from launch, so it is time for the STS-123 thread.
Flight: STS-123 (122nd flight of the Space Shuttle)
Orbiter: OV-105 Endeavour (21st flight of the Endeavour)
Mission: International Space Station Assembly Mission 1 J/A (25th Space Station U.S. assembly flight)
Dominic Gorie, Commander (STS-91, STS-99, STS-108)
Gregory Johnson, Pilot (first flight)
Richard Linnehan, Mission Specialist (STS-78, STS-90, STS-109)
Robert Behnhen, Mission Specialist (first flight)
Michael Foreman, Mission Specialist (first flight)
Takao Doi, Mission Specialist, JAXA (STS-87)
Garrett Reisman, ISS Expedition 16 (launch)
Leopold Eyharts, ISS Expedition 16, ESA (return)
Kibo External Logistics Module, Pressurized Section (ELM-PS)
Special Purpose Dextrous Manipulator (DEXTRE)
Remote Manipulator System
Orbiter Boom Sensor System (launch only)
2:31am Eastern Daylight Time (6:31am UT)
Tuesday, March 11, 2008
16 Days
STS-123 is highlighted by the first of three launches to add Japan's "Kibo" ("Hope") experiment laboratory to the International Space Station. The Kibo laboratory itself follows on STS-124 now planned for late April or early May. STS-123 will deliver the pressurized logisitics module (ELM-PS) carrying four System Racks, three science racks and 1 storage rack. The ELM-PS will be temporary berthed to Node 2 Zenith, and will be relocated to atop Kibo after its arrival this spring. Unlike the U.S. logistics modules, ELM-PS will be a permanent addition to the Space Station, serving as a storage room for Kibo. Kibo is the only module of the old Space Station Freedom design that was never reduced in size as a weight or cost-saving measure. It is the largest module on the Space Station and is too heavy to launch fully-outfitted. Eight of its internal racks are being launched first on the ELM-PS. They'll be relocated after Kibo's arrival. (The U.S. and European modules were forced to adopt a similar philosophy when Freedom became ISS in 1994 and the Station's orbit shifted to the much more difficult to reach 51.6 degree inclination.)
STS-123 also features the launch of Canada's next major contribution to the International Space Station, the DEXTRE robot hand. DEXTRE will allow much finer robotic arm activities than is possible with the CANADARM 2 robot arm alone. It is expected to greatly reduce the need for spacewalks in future Space Station operations.
Five spacewalks are planned for STS-123, three for the installation and outfitting of the ELM-PS and DEXTRE, and two to accomplish other Space Station tasks. Because of the Kibo laboratory's size, the Orbiter Boom Sensor System cannot be launched with Discovery on STS-124. Therefore Endeavour will leave its OBSS boom at the Space Station, where it will be available for tile damage surveys by Discovery. The boom will be returned with Discovery in May.
Endeavour is planned to remain in orbit for at least 16 days, again using the Station-to-Shuttle Power Transfer System to extend its stay.

Supreme Court strikes down key part of Voting Rights Act
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court says a key provision of the landmark Voting Rights Act cannot be enforced until Congress comes up with a new way of determining which states and localities require close federal monitoring of elections.
The justices said in 5-4 ruling Tuesday that the law Congress most recently renewed in 2006 relies on 40-year-old data that doesn't reflect racial progress and changes in U.S. society.
The court did not strike down the advance approval requirement of the law that has been used, mainly in the South, to open up polling places to minority voters in the nearly half century since it was first enacted in 1965. But they said lawmakers must update the formula for determining which parts of the country must seek Washington's approval for election changes.

Do you have a passion for education? Or need a higher degree to get the job or promotion that you want? Graduate school just might be the place for you!
1Focus on more than just the grade. Although grades play a part in graduate school admission there are other aspects to consider as well. If your undergraduate GPA was low, you should focus on these other aspects.
2Get others to recommend you. Most applications will require between two and four recommendations. Picking those who give you recommendations is very important to your application. Ask professors (preferred, but otherwise, ask academic professionals or work professionals, if necessary). Only ask those who are familiar with your work (from classes that you have taken recently or done especially well in) and if possible those from whom you have taken several classes so that they know you well.
3Collect the name, phone number (office/home), address (office/home), and email address (office/home). Storing these in a spread sheet helps to keep everything organized for later use.
4Get Letters or intent/writing samples. These are your window to the application board. Look over your writing sample and ask others to look over it as well. Bring the paper to a writing center. The more people that look over your writing the more hints and tips you can get. However, make sure that you don't let others rewrite your letter too much because that needs to be in your words and reflect your personality. Your letter should highlight your accomplishments and talk about your goals. Why do you want to go to this school in this program and how does what you write in your letter answer these questions?
5Extra-curricular: What you do shows that you are active in your community and can show that you a consistent person - sticking with an activity and seeing it through. More is not necessarily better here but staying with an activity or group and progressing in it can be better than participating in many different organizations. Participating in groups can show how you can work well in a group and moving up in the organization shows that you are able to handle responsibility and work well with others.
6Scholarships/Fellowships/TA: Apply for incoming graduate student scholarships and fellowships at this university. Also look for scholarships and fellowships in your department and related departments. And finally apply for teaching/research assistantships in your departments and related departments. These activities do two things for you: they show an application committee that you are serious about this university/programs and they can provide you with funding if you are admitted to a program at this university.
7Interview: Finally you may be called for an interview. Though many universities do not call applicants, others do. Talking to you might be the difference between being admitted/receiving funding and not. This is your chance to actually speak to the committee. Prepare for it. Outline just why you want to go there and how you can contribute to their program, what aspects of the department do you want to study, and maybe what professors do you especially want to study with and why.

- Be active. Participate in groups both on campus and off.
- Make sure to have several people look over your application materials.
- Ask professors who know you best for recommendations since these will be the most detailed letters.
- Don't ask the professors about the funding frequently at the very beginning, it may prove your selfishness and subsequently reduce the chance to get admission.
- Do not get discouraged! Apply for many different schools.
- If you apply for more schools, your chance of getting admission goes up.

When it comes to the foundations and powders, I'm still having control over it. I have three foundations, plus several 5ml samples, and 4 powders. Although I'd be happy if I could only have one of each, I don't believe this is over the top.
I currently own:
Clarins Everlasting foundation (heavy coverage and SPF)
Carita Voile de Beaute (very light coverage)
Dior Diorskin Airflash (amazing foundation, but a bit too dark and I can only wear it when I'm tanned).
Lancome Teint Miracle (large sample, I have yet to try it)
Givenchy Photo'Perfexion (there is only a tiny amount left)
Givenchy Photo'Perfexion Light (5ml sample)
Max Factor Second Skin Foundation (also a sample)
Now, the POWDERS:
There are only four of them: 2 loose and 2 pressed powders:
CK Calvin Klein Subliminal Purity Loose Powder
T. LeClerc Poudre Libre Dermophile (this one is almost gone)
Sephora Mineral Powder
Yves Saint Laurent Poudre Compacte Eclat et Matite
Later (or tomorrow), I'll be putting more make-up.
Thanks for looking

The Kardashians
Brody Jenner Admits He Lied — He Knew North West's Name All Along
Move aside Anna Wintour. We finally know whom to thank for the blessing to the American compass industry that is the name North West. Orienteers, address your thank you notes to Kim Kardashian's step-brother and Laguna Beach heartthrob, Brody Jenner.
"I actually knew it was that all along," he recently told HuffPost TV, and so admitted he pulled the cashmere over Ryan Seacrest's eyes last month when he told the radio host he didn't know Baby Kimye's real name. Gotcha, Ryan!
Brody went on to clarify what "actually knew" means, telling HuffPost: "Well I didn't know completely, but we had talked about it and she had mentioned that name and I said, 'You know what, I like it!'"
So there you have it. Brody's stamp of approval led to the greatest directional name mankind has ever known. It's a milestone for the reality TV star who's been on somewhat of a media kick this last month.
First, Brody dropped the bombshell he'd "never met" Kim's boyfriend and North's dad, Kanye West. Then there was the heart-to-heart about how dad Bruce wasn't "a great father." Even more recently, Brody spilled the beans that he still hasn't met North.
"I have never seen the baby," he told HuffPost. "It's such a new thing, and Kim's got such a big family and a lot of friends, so I'm just waiting for the right moment."
Granted, he's been saying the same thing for a month so we're beginning to wonder if this is a "giving the new mom space" situation or a straight-up case of the lazys/coping with the marriage of ex-girlfriend Avril Lavigne.
Honestly, Brods, people are willing to pay $4 million for a photo of the kidlet, let alone a chance to meet the newest West in all her diapered glory, so press pause on "Sk8er Boi" and get your butt to Kim's secret compound.

Extreme Power Gamer
|Reach 60th level with one character
You must finish the game once in order to unlock levels 51-60. In total, you will need 862,100 experience points to reach level 60. Do ALL side quests, and it is most likely that you will get this at the end of your second way through or third. Also, make sure that when on the Mako to kill enemies on foot, not with the Mako, you'll get more experience that way.

This just takes grinding to get. Just several playthroughs

Monday, February 07, 2011 @ 05:42:39 AM
well, after 1st play as Infiltrator I got level 55, and I get the achievement near end of 2nd playthrough, as you destroy geth ship. Kill as much as you can without using mako ( When you fight geth Colossus, shoot with mako to lower his HP to minimum, and then finish it by yourself, this will get you double exps.

Wednesday, February 16, 2011 @ 11:50:34 AM
@2 how can you get to level 55 on your first playthrough? Isn't level 50 the maximum?
|Comment #4 by Dimples1991
Thursday, February 17, 2011 @ 04:18:19 AM
I got Lvl 40 on my first playthrough. Im at 55 now, midway through the second. If you play renegade it helps as a lot more situations are dealt with combat and therefore exp than if you were playing paragon.
|Comment #5 by KimikoAmaya
Saturday, February 26, 2011 @ 10:33:21 PM
Beat it once on an easier difficulty if you wish; collect money and weapons. This unlocks your higher levels and you can grind out a whole game past 50. I started a new character, managed to get to level 56, then imported the character and got to 60 before the end of the third story mission.

Tuesday, April 05, 2011 @ 02:07:00 PM
I got to level 50 on my first playthrough and got to level 59 on my second (Hardcore). Should get the achievement on my Insanity playthrough.
|Comment #7 by assassinscreeds
Sunday, April 10, 2011 @ 07:50:02 AM
yeah level 50 is the cap for first playthrough, as I didn't get any exp for the rest of the time, just grind out kills and always kill outside mako.
Plus make sure you survey planets, pass decryption mini games first time and should come
|Comment #8 by RogueSatedan
Sunday, June 12, 2011 @ 08:37:35 PM
just wanted to mention you dont have to do EVERYTHING. just play the game. dont be worried about going everywhere and finding everything. play the game once to get lvl 50 or so and then import your char for a second game to finish this off.
i was getting fed up with not getting lvl 60 on one playthrough and tried glitching to get there (which still didnt work) but all you need is to import your ending char and play again till completion.
|Comment #9 by Jenrai
Saturday, July 09, 2011 @ 06:02:11 AM
This is simple if you're achievement hunting anyways. Burn through your first game as a soldier on normal difficulty and then import the char for your hardcore game. You'll ding this long before you complete it on Hardcore.
|Comment #10 by Jmech4889
Monday, July 11, 2011 @ 06:18:05 PM
One thing I don't understand, if someone could please answer...
I've already played through the game once on every difficulty, so the levels past 50 are unlocked. BUT if I started a whole new character, can i earn exp passed level 50 on that playthrough or does it cap at 50 and then allow me to go further on the playthrough that transfer over to?
|Comment #11 by Jmech4889
Tuesday, July 12, 2011 @ 11:41:53 PM
Answering my question above,
You can never get to level 60 in a single playthrough, even if youve gotten to level 50 or 60 before. You will only ever earn exp after level 50 in a continued game+
|Comment #12 by darkfenrir
Saturday, July 16, 2011 @ 07:33:58 PM
played through the game once on normal got lvl cap, played on hardcore going paragon and got to 58. Went through the begining on insanity and got 60 lol

I had this on my second playthrough, in my first I got lv 50, you just need
to do all the assignments(collect all the valuable minerals, turian insignias,
asari writings, etc) Kill every enemy on foot incluiding tresher mawls, also
when a Geth Dropship apear kill the gets that apear until the dropship flees,
and in the last mission after the Geth Dropship flees, there will be a path
with a few Shock Troopers, a krogan, and if you stay far from the other side
of the path Geth Destroyers will come from the other side and charge, they will
come one by one and while they appear to be infinite, after about 15 or so.

Currently at 59 roughly midway through a new game +, having got to 55 on the initial play-through with this character. Long way to go though, as 59-60 is a long old grind of around 200k experience.
|Comment #17 by crackddown
Sunday, February 12, 2012 @ 05:35:57 PM
To everyone saying they got above lv 50 on first playthrough,
Why are you lying?? You can only get to lv 50 on playthrough one and then you unlock hardcore and levels 51 -60 when you beat the game the first time. The strategy guide even says so lol

Just read Comment 5 & 6 ... They are correct..

Saturday, March 03, 2012 @ 10:14:17 AM
This achievement is actually really easy to get. All you are the achievements that reward you with exp bonuses and then do it on Insanity. Kill all enemies on foot and kill as many high-exp enemies (maws, colossi, armatures, turrets) as early on in the game as you can. A good mission for ranking up early is the "Geth Incursions" side mission, where its possible to go up a level per world if you do it early on and all on foot. You should be able to get to lvl 59 from this, so just import that character and keep at it until you get that cheevo.

Final one for me to get 100%.. currently on lvl 52.... still a lot of XP to go.... but will get it eventually... just have to put the ours in.

No one is lying they are saying 1st play with that character. Once you've beaten the game one time levels 1-60 are unlocked for ALL characters regardless of which play through they are on

Monday, June 18, 2012 @ 12:46:16 PM
I've gone through on Insanity twice doing everything and I've played through about 4 times now with doing the DLC too.... still got 200,000 exp left or more. My friend got it on his 3rd play through am I just doing something wrong?
|Comment #23 by PsychicPsycho 0
Thursday, September 27, 2012 @ 02:55:18 AM
To #22: If you played through 4 times with the same character, you should have it, unless you're doing just the bare minimum.
I got this soon after beginning my insanity playthrough (3 playthroughs with the same character).

Sunday, October 07, 2012 @ 04:46:09 PM

was harder than i expected... wasn't grinding on my first play

Decided to play this game again as id completed all achievements on me2 n me3. This one started to annoy me as i hit level 54 on 1st play( i downloaded the dlc packs which i guess help). not too far into 2nd play through and bam. Achievement completed.

am lvl 59, 200,000 to go and only have virmire left then ilos. if there is not many sidequest there, i doubt i can make it to lvl 60 with 2 playthrough. but i still have insanity lvl to do so i will get it eventually

Monday, April 01, 2013 @ 10:13:59 PM
I'm actually Level 59 on my second playthrough and I, for the most part, went pure paragon. With a couple of main plot missions remaining I should hit the Level 60 mark or be really, really close. Doing the Downloadable Content Missions helps a lot with this one.

A leaked memo yesterday revealed that Sony expects to have its PlayStation store back online on or around May 24 (next Tuesday). The company also revealed its planned release schedule, but some publishing partners are not happy about it at all.
According to an Edge report, the news is getting mixed reactions from partners. The biggest complaint is the doubled up weekly release schedule. Developers feel that their games will be buried under a deluge of new content and quickly forgotten as even more content is piled on top in the weeks to follow.
"As a developer, I feel very sorry for those teams that did try to release their titles during the PSN outage window," said one developer, who wished to remain anonymous. "Beyond that, I feel sorry for those that are attempting to launch games in the days following the outage, as there will likely be such a backlog of traffic that it may be hard to be noticed in the flurry of 'get everything back up and running'."
"The absence of PSN has slowed the development of online functionality for games that rely on PSN, because you can't test your PSN-dependent features without it," he adds. "My project was fortunate enough to have robust offline / LAN support that allowed us to test core gameplay features without online access, despite the outage. We're still on target for our original release date as a result, although we're very glad our original release date didn't fall within the PSN outage window!"
Ilari Kuittinen, CEO of Outland and Dead Nation developer Housemarque, is concerned about the damage that has been done to consumer trust and confidence on the platform and what affect free titles (that Sony is giving away as part of its "Welcome Back" program) might have on games that cost money.
"This is basically between Ubisoft and Sony and I haven't been part of this discussion," Kuittinen tells Edge. "My biggest concern is whether people will come back to use the system and browse the PlayStation Store. On top of that, the second issue is that everyone now gets games for free (including our Dead Nation and Super Stardust HD), so people might just play the free games for a while. By the time they are ready to buy something, Outland is maybe old news."
Seed Studios hopes that the depth of its real time strategy title Under Siege will help it stand out among the myriad of new releases, and highlights Sony's flexibility during the release period.
"We are all concerned with the overall situation but we think that despite all the delays and the multiple releases Under Siege will still stand out on its own," producer Filipe Pina tells Edge. "This is a game about continuity and building a community; while other games focus on sales for the first weeks we focus on the longer run with support for users with more content and continuous updates.
"We did not build A game to put it on sale and then turn its back on it after release and move on, we want to take care of our game as much as possible. Sony they was very open to discuss with us what we wanted to do with Under Siege and publishing it on the store."
On the bright side, this accelerated release schedule will only last two weeks. Still, after losing thousands of dollars in sales due to network downtime, any more pain is too much to near for many publishing partners.

Acrylic leaf paint prints
One way you can celebrate nature's annual display is to print colourful leaves on a T-shirt using fabric paint. Or you can try the same technique with regular acrylic paint and very small leaves to decorate a nicely shaped rock for a paperweight. You can also make gift wrap and gift tags.
Spread newspapers over a flat surface. Lay a T-shirt flat, front-side-up. Insert cardboard between the front and back. Place a leaf vein-side-up on the newspaper. Coat it with one or more colours of fabric paint. Carefully pick the leaf up and place it vein-side-down on the T-shirt. Rub the leaf gently with your fingers without letting the leaf slide. Carefully remove the leaf.
Repeat, making random cascades or overlapping designs. Sometimes you may be able to get two prints from one coat of paint, though the second print will be fainter. Continue printing until you're happy with your design.

The first Information Literacy Skills Prize Awards were presented at the Celebration of Student Writing on April 17, 2013. Belk Library and Information Commons sponsored the contest, with help from the University Writing Center, the Composition Program, and Writing Across the Curriculum Program.
The prize recognizes an outstanding research paper written by a first-year Appalachian State University student for a class in UCO 1200 (First Year Seminar) or English 1000. Information literacy is the ability to find, evaluate, and use information effectively and it is an educational goal for every Appalachian State University graduate.
This award promotes students' active engagement in the processes of library research and encourages them to synthesize library research skills with the reading, writing and critical thinking skills developed in their first year at Appalachian.
The first place award, was a $300 gift certificate to the bookstore and it went to freshman Zachary Mennona for his paper entitled Motivation of Soldiers, Slaves, and Statesmen in the American Civil War. Zachary made abundant use of primary resources, and wrote in his reflection statement:
"Being a complete newcomer to the field of research, I am grateful to my English professor and the staff of the Belk Library for their assistance in teaching me the strategies involved in crafting a research paper….Skills like critical thinking, book analysis, information collecting, and interpretation of data developed out of necessity and allowed me to answer the rhetorical question when time finally came to writing the research down. The skills developed throughout this project will be of tremendous service to me for the remainder of life as a researcher and writer."
The second place award, a $200 gift certificate to the bookstore, went to freshman Stephanie Filotei for her paper Borderline Personality Disorder. Stephanie noted in her reflection "At first, I dreaded finding twenty sources because that seemed like too many. In the end, I learned that it only helped me to find an abundant amount of information that would help me recognize useful sources from the useless ones." Stephanie also made several trips to the University writing center and found they helped her improve the grammar and flow of her paper significantly.

A new exhibit titled, "Black Mountain College: Innovation in Art, Education, and Lifestyle," is now on display in the 4th Floor atrium of Belk Library and Information Commons. Black Mountain College was an experimental school, located just outside of Asheville, North Carolina, that only existed for 23 years, from 1933 to 1956. During that short time, it fostered many different artists including dancers, musicians, photographers, painters, and poets.
The exhibit has three display cases that follow the three major rectors, or elected leaders, of the college. The first explores the 1930s through John A. Rice, the founder of the college. The second looks at the 1940s and focuses on visual art through the leadership of Josef Albers. The final one examines the 1950s through Charles Olson, when writing became a central focus of the school.
Most of the artifacts on display come from the John A. Rice Papers and the recently added F. Whitney Jones Papers. Additional artifacts and images come from the Paul and Maryrose Carroll Beat Poetry Collection in Special Collections; the Western Regional Archives, State Archives of North Carolina; Joseph Bathanti; Elizabeth S. Rose; and University of Connecticut Libraries. Joseph Bathanti, North Carolina Poet Laureate, and Professor of Creative Writing advised on the creation of the exhibit. The exhibit was executed by public history graduate student Rebecca Dion.
In addition to the exhibit, two up-coming related lectures will be given in April. On Wednesday, April 3, Professor David Silver of the University of San Francisco will deliver a talk, "The Farm at Black Mountain College: A History in Five Acts with Lessons for Today," at 5:00 p.m. in Belk Library Room 114. On Thursday, April 11, writer Tom Patterson will give a talk, "Reconstituting Black Mountain: Reflections on the Black Mountain College Festival at St. Andrews College, 1974," at 7:30 p.m. in The Great Hall, Living Learning Center at Appalachian State University.

Friends of the University Library and the Goodnight Family Sustainable Development Program present:
Date: Wednesday, April 3, 2013
Time: 5:00pm
Location: Belk Library, room 114
This talk presents the history of the farm at North Carolina's Black Mountain College (1933-1956). Widely regarded as the most influential art school in the history of U.S. higher education, Black Mountain College's faculty-student roster reveals a "who's who" of late 20th century artists and thinkers. At the same time, the college was heavily experimental in developing rich and collaborative living-learning environments--especially with their work program, which had students, professors, and staff working side by side to help the campus thrive and, at times, survive. Much of this work took place on the campus farm. Tracing the farm's physical existence, its personnel, its buildings and structures, and its produce, crops, and livestock, grown and raised for both college consumption and much needed income, Silver reveals the farm's vital role to BMC's work program and the college's goal to be self-sustaining and points towards some valuable lessons for today's "green campuses."
David Silver is an associate professor of media studies, environmental studies, and urban agriculture at the University of San Francisco. He teaches classes on media history, social media, and green media. He is currently on sabbatical working on a history of the farm at Black Mountain College.

Make Hummus Not War is a humorous film journey though the hummus bars and kitchens of Beirut, Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and New York. Along the way the filmmaker encounters Palestinian and Israeli hummus cooks, chickpea farmers, political leaders, activists, Jewish settlers, and others for whom hummus is a near religious obsession.
The film will be introduced by Dr. Curt Ryan, who will also lead discussion on peace and cultural commonalities in the Middle East following the film. Dr. Ryan is associate professor of political science at Appalachian State, a scholar of Middle Eastern politics, and author of the books Inter-Arab Alliances: Regime Security and Jordanian Foreign Policy and Jordan in Transition: From Hussein to Abdullah.
The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the ASU Humanities Council with grant funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities- NEH Bridging Cultures, Muslim Journeys grant and the Bivens Fund for Library Excellence. This is the third in a series of programs that compose the 2013 Muslim Journeys Program.
More description of the film: Could a regional love of hummus be the recipe for peace in the Middle East? This was the question on director Trevor Graham's mind when he set out to film Make Hummus Not War, a documentary about the Middle Eastern conflict you don't see on the nightly news.
One of the oldest-known prepared foods in human history, hummus is claimed by multiple Middle Eastern nationalities. So when Trevor Graham, a self-described hummus tragic, learned of a 2008 Lebanese plan to sue Israel for acting as if it had proprietary rights over the dish, he was intrigued and hungry for more. With Israel, Lebanon and Palestine fighting once again - over who 'owns' the hummus heritage - he set off on a personal journey into a colorful culinary history.
"Hummus and chickpeas are a symbol of our common humanity. I want this movie to say 'We have more in common than divides us.'" Trevor Graham [filmmaker]

The event is presented by ASU Library in conjunction with the ASU Humanities Council with grant funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Date: Tuesday, February 26, 2013
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Belk Library, room 114
Admission: Free, open to the public
The film is based on the true story of Abdul Rahman Ibrahima Sori, an African prince and devout Muslim slaved in the American South.
In 1788, the slave ship Africa set sail from West Africa, headed for America with its berth laden with a profitable but highly perishable cargo—hundreds of men, women, and children bound in chains. Six months later the survivors were sold in Natchez, Mississippi. One of them, a twenty-six-year-old man named Abdul-Rahman made the remarkable claim to the farmer who purchased him at the auction that he was an African prince and that his father would pay gold for his ransom. The offer was refused and Abdul-Rahman did not return to Africa for another forty years. During his enslavement he toiled on the Foster plantation, married, and fathered nine children. His story also eventually made him the most famous African in America, attracting the support of powerful men such as President John Quincy Adams.
After forty years of slavery, Abdul-Rahman finally reclaimed his freedom, but he defied the order to return immediately to Africa, and instead traveled throughout the northern states, speaking to huge audiences in a partially successful attempt to raise enough money to buy his children's freedom. Finally at the age of sixty-seven, and after raising funds to free two of his children, Abdul-Rahman returned to Africa, only to fall ill and die just as word of his arrival reached his former home of Futa Jalloo in present-day Guinea. Abdul-Rahman survived the harsh ordeals of slavery through his love of family and his deep faith as a Muslim.

- Ships race to probe signals detected in Malaysia Airlines MH370 searchMalaysia Airlines MH370 search: Australia says has best-ever leadMalaysia Airlines Flight MH370: Search planes, ships divert to Indian Ocean area where 'pings' detectedMalaysia Airlines MH370: Black box signals offer hope
Searchers looking for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane have discovered signals consistent with those emitted by black boxes in the Indian Ocean, but they may still be a long way from finding the first piece of wreckage. Here's a look at what they've accomplished, and what remains to be done:
The Australian navy vessel Ocean Shield picked up the signals using a U.S. Navy device called a towed pinger locator. It's essentially a long cable with a listening device, or hydrophone, attached to the end. It's pulled behind the boat at a depth of 3 kilometers (1.9 miles).
The pinger locator is designed to detect signals at a range of 1.8 kilometers, meaning it would need to be almost on top of the black boxes to detect them if they were on the ocean floor, which is 4.5 kilometers down.
The first signal was picked up Sunday and lasted two hours and 20 minutes before it was lost as the ship moved forward. The ship then turned around and a few hours later picked up a second signal that lasted for 13 minutes.
In an earlier development, the crew of a Chinese ship told Australian authorities they had picked up possible signals using a less sophisticated hydrophone dangled over the side of a small boat some 555 kilometers (345 miles) away from the Ocean Shield. Another ship is separately investigating further.
U.S. Navy Capt. Mark Matthews said on both occasions the Ocean Shield detected sounds, the pings were emitted about 1 second apart - consistent with those that could be sent from the black boxes: the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder.
The signals were broadcast at 33.3 kilohertz rather than the 37.5 kilohertz frequency at which black boxes are supposed to broadcast pings. Matthews said that according to the manufacturer, the frequency of the black boxes can drift near the end of the device's shelf life, which is about six years.
Matthews said the signals are man-made. He said there's always the possibility they're getting a false reading, for instance from a device on their own ship, but they are careful to avoid that.
He said the two signal detections came from points estimated to be about two kilometers apart. Matthews said that water temperature and water layers can distort and refract signals, so they may in fact be from the same area.

LA archbishop relieves retired cardinal of duties
While the church left the names of church leaders intact, as specified, they removed names of victims, witnesses and priests who weren't accused. In some instances, whole sections were removed, including paragraphs of newspaper articles and efforts to black out other names even included the bylines of reporters and the phone number of the district attorney's office.
The church said in a statement that the files' release "concludes a sad and shameful chapter in the history of our local church."
The archdiocese, the nation's largest with 4.3 million members, had planned to black out the names of members of the hierarchy who were responsible for the priests, and instead provide a cover sheet for each priest's file, listing the names of top officials who handled that case. The church reversed course Wednesday after The Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times and plaintiff attorneys objected.
A record-breaking $660 million settlement in 2007 with more than 500 alleged victims paved the way for the ultimate disclosure, but the archdiocese and individual priests fought to keep them secret for more than five years.
Some church critics said Gomez's actions, particularly against Mahony, amounted to a slap on the wrist as long as he remained a cardinal and a member of the powerful Vatican body that elects the Pope.
The reprimand is a "purely symbolic punishment that they hope will satisfy at least some people in the archdiocese," said Terry McKiernan, founder of BishopAccountability.org, which tracks the release of priest files nationally.
"I don't think that many savvy observers of this will be deceived."
Associated Press Writer Shaya Tayefe Mohajer contributed to this report.

text: 5 ancient grains that are good for you If you want to make a healthy change to your diet, opt for ancient grains. Our guide describes five types of ancient grains and how to use each one: spelt, amaranth, quinoa, millet and kamut. By Dr. Joey Shulman, DC, RNCP 2012-07-25 00:00:00 ©iStockphoto.com/aluxum There has been a rise in the popularity of ancient grains in recent years, due largely to heightened food sensitivities and the population's desire to become healthier. Much to my delight, it's now possible to find quinoa dishes, spelt pizza crusts and brown rice pasta at many restaurants and fast food establishments in our local neighbourhoods. In addition to offering a higher amount of nutrients and protein than other grains, ancient grains (also called heritage grains) are delicious in taste and can be added to a variety of meals. Some of the most popular ancient grains include: 1. SpeltAlso known as triticum spelta, spelt is a tasty whole grain with a nutty flavour. This distant cousin of wheat contains gluten and is therefore not suitable for those who have gluten intolerance, though it does tend to be easier to digest than wheat and may be better tolerated by those who have wheat sensitivity. Spelt contains a wider variety of nutrients than wheat, including more protein, folate, magnesium and selenium. Spelt is also a high source of fibre, with ½ cup of the whole grain containing 4 grams of fibre. You can use spelt flour in baking, and the grain can be found in a variety of products, including cereals, breads, pasta and crackers. 2. AmaranthAmaranth is often called a "pseudo-grain" and has been referred to as both an herb and a vegetable. However you classify it, amaranth is gluten free and has an impressive nutritional profile, being high in both protein and the amino acid lysine (which is often found in only low amounts in cereal grains). It is also high in fibre and has been shown to be beneficial in lowering cholesterol. You will need quite a bit of water when cooking amaranth: 6 cups (1.5 L) of water for 1 cup (250 mL) of amaranth. Gently boil the amaranth for 15 to 20 minutes, rinse and then fluff it. Amaranth can be added to soups, salads and stir-fries, and amaranth flour can be used in baking.Page 1 of 2 -- Learn about the benefits of quinoa, millet and kamut on page 2 1 2

Yes, Dior continues to pair great directors and beautiful leading ladies for spots to promote their various fragrances and clothing lines. This year has already seen a spot for Miss Dior Cherie starring Natalie Portman and directed by Sofia Coppola and Charlize Theron taking it off and putting it on in the Jean-Jacques Annaud directed J'Adore Dior ad. But perhaps no helmer has been busier lately for the famed fashion house than John Cameron Mitchell. He's already directed the short films Lady Grey London and Lady Grey Moscow with Marion Cotillard and now he's got a new spot with another new face on the label.
Mélanie Laurent is fronting Hynoptic Poison, and Mitchell has directed the first ad in the campaign. Set to Nina Simone's excellent version of "I Put A Spell On You," the typically enigmatic spot features Laurent walking around, mesmerizing some dude and then hanging out with...is that a panther? Anyway, glamorous and mysterious, the spot does the job its supposed to do. Check it out below. [via Luxuo]

Just can't say enough about Dee
The Columbus Dispatch is talking about Makorobondo Kamongwa "Dee" Salukombo '12 again, and we wanted to make sure everyone had the chance to read sportswriter Rob Oller's story that was published, not coincidentally, on the day of Denison's commencement.
Dee is officially a Denison alumnus now, and it's with mixed emotions that we bid him farewell. We'll remember fondly his four years here as a driving force in philanthropy, international relief, and, of course, All-American distance running, but now it's time to send him out into a world that needs him. Dee's first stop: his birthplace in the Congo.
To learn more about Dee's efforts in the Congo or make a donation, visit his website at projectkirotshe.org.
There are some other links below, too, just in case you haven't been following the story of this remarkable young man. It seems the media, like TheDEN and the whole of Denison, just can't say enough about Dee.

The Gambia followed its deplorable record of press freedom in 2006 with aggressive intimidation of media practitioners in 2007. New cases of flagrant disregard of constitutional guarantees for free expression were coupled with imprisonment, intimidation, and other extralegal measures that further chilled the climate for media practice. Recent prominent legal cases include that of the U.S.-based journalist and political commentator, Fatou Jaw Manneh, who was arrested as she returned to The Gambia for her father's funeral. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Manneh was charged with sedition for a 2004 interview published in the defunct bi-weekly, The Independent, in which she strongly criticized the government, calling President Jammeh "a bundle of terror" and an "egoistic, frosty imam." She was released after a week on bail but prohibited from leaving the country. Other similar cases include the conviction of Lamin Fatty, a journalist for the The Independent, who was fined $2,500 for a story about a 2006 coup plot. In September, Malick Jones and Mam Sait Ceesay, two workers of the state-owned TV and radio service, were re-arrested shortly after a court freed them after they paid a $8,970 fine. They were charged with harming the security of the state by giving "false" information to a foreign journalist. In October, two Amnesty International journalists and a local reporter were arrested and detained for three days, accused of spying. The local reporter, Yahya Dampha of the Foroyaa newspaper, later went into hiding following a raid on his house by state security agents.
The pace of persecution of media practitioners has quickened since President Jammeh began a third consecutive five-year term following elections in September 2006. Since then, new measures were passed imposing harsh penalties, including mandatory prison sentences for sedition or "false news." A media commission to police media practice was also established. These moves, and the regular harassment of independent reporters has led to wide-spread self-censorship. The 'disappearance' of Chief Ebrimah Manneh, State House correspondent for the state-owned Daily Observer who had been missing for 18 months at the end of 2007, remained unresolved. He was arrested by state security agents in 2006 over allegations that he passed damaging information to a foreign journalist who wrote an article critical of the regime prior to an African Union Summit in Banjul. Chief Manneh was later spotted briefly at several prisons and hospitals after his disappearance. The Media Foundation of West Africa filed suit before the Community Court of Justice of the Economic Community of West African States in Nigeria seeking Chief Manneh's release from detention and compensation. The Gambian authorities have so far refused to cooperate and Manneh is now feared dead. Other reports of journalists going into hiding, being physically intimidated, or arbitrarily arrested are too numerous to name. The murder of journalist Deyda Hydara remains unsolved after three years. Hydara was managing editor of the private weekly The Point and a correspondent for both Reporters Sans Frontieres and Agence France Presse.
The government owns a daily newspaper, a national radio station, and the only national television station. Political news coverage at these outlets favors the official line. The Gambia has three private newspapers that publish biweekly or thrice weekly and four private FM radio stations. The private outlets were subjected to further pressure from publishing criticism of government and public officials in 2007. A premium television network operates as a satellite station. Internet usage is growing, rising to 4.9 percent of the population, one of the highest rates in West Africa. Although the government denies it, two US-based websites – Freedom Newspaper and All Gambian – were blocked within The Gambia in June. According to journalists working for the two sites the blockage was linked to their critical reporter about the Gambian government.
