In both prose and poetry, Tredinnick's work has often engaged with language and landscape. Music, too, is an important figure. In his first book, The Land's Wild Music, Tredinnick recorded his apprenticeship as a nature writer and explored many of the ideas that now play in his work.
His landscape memoir The Blue Plateau (2009) and much of his recent poetry amount to as sustained lyric meditation on the reciprocal relationships at play between (and among) people and the social ecologies in which they make their lives.
Tredinnick's long poetic gestation gives his writing polish and range. His poems, which employ an easy, fluid line, and which marry traditional pastoral modes with urgent ecological ideas, have earned a string of prizes in the last four years.
Of the long poem 'Eclogues', which won the Newcastle Poetry Prize in 2007, Jan Owen, noted: it "works elegantly and intimately over a huge terrain. 'One's life is an absurd miracle,' Tredinnick writes, 'waning as long as it lasts.' ... There is an undertow... pulling the reader into a melancholy closeness to things."
In his reading of the poems of The Road South, Tredinnick is relaxed and open; delivering a natural oration with a sense of flow and conversation, that invites the listener in. These poems were recorded in February 2008 and produced by Carol Jenkins for the River Road Poetry Series.
Fire Diary is shortlisted for the WA Premier's Award.

LONDON and BOSTON, January 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Stabilised GPCR (StaR®) Proteins Delivered For All Nominated Targets
Heptares Therapeutics, the leading GPCR structure-guided drug discovery and development company, has successfully completed the research phase of its antibody drug discovery collaboration with MedImmune, the global biologics research and development arm of AstraZeneca. In achieving this milestone, Heptares has delivered StaR® proteins (thermostabilised G protein-coupled receptors, GPCRs) for its targets nominated by MedImmune for antibody discovery as part of the research collaboration initiated in May 2011. For each project, nomination of the target and delivery of the StaR protein resulted in milestone payments to Heptares from MedImmune.
Malcolm Weir, Heptares CEO, said: "The delivery of a StaR for each nominated target is an important achievement in the successful research phase of our collaboration with MedImmune. The StaR proteins will now be used by MedImmune as antigens to which novel therapeutic antibodies can be generated. The ability of our StaR platform to generate antigen for antibody drug discovery, as exemplified by the success of our collaboration with MedImmune, highlights the potential of this technology to transform GPCR-targeted drug design and development."
The Heptares StaR technology provides a solution to the central challenge associated with obtaining antigens for raising antibodies against GPCR targets: generating purified, properly folded and functional protein which has been removed from the cell membrane. StaR proteins also preserve epitopes from the desired pharmacological state (active or inactive) of the GPCR, thereby enabling generation of panels of functional antibodies targeting the disease-relevant form of the receptor.
By the end of 2012, 37 therapeutic antibodies had been approved and are being marketed in countries around the world, generating sales of $64.5 billion in 2012. Of the ten best-selling drugs in 2012, six were monoclonal antibody drugs, each with annual sales exceeding $5 billion. However, only one GPCR-targeting antibody has been approved (Poteligeomogamulizumab, an anti-CCR4 antibody approved in Japan), which reflects the central technical challenge of accessing reliable high-quality GPCR antigen.
Heptares has determined that approximately 100 GPCR targets across a range of diseases (cancer, fibrosis, inflammation, respiratory, pain) are suitable and commercially compelling as antibody targets. Heptares is now leveraging its StaR platform to generate antigens for GPCR antibody drug discovery via partnerships with MedImmune and other companies. To date, Heptares has achieved all scientific milestones in its drug discovery collaborations on or ahead of schedule.
About Heptares Therapeutics
Heptares creates new medicines targeting clinically important, yet historically challenging, GPCRs (G protein-coupled receptors), a superfamily of drug receptors linked to a wide range of human diseases. Leveraging our proprietary structure-based drug design technology platform, we have built an exciting pipeline of novel drug candidates with the potential to transform the treatment of serious diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, ADHD, diabetes, schizophrenia, and migraine. Our pharmaceutical partners include Cubist, MorphoSys, Takeda, AstraZeneca and MedImmune, and we are backed by Clarus Ventures, MVM Life Science Partners, Novartis Venture Fund, the Stanley Family Foundation and Takeda Ventures.

This is a rendering of a simple scene using the ArticulatedModel class - a new contributed code class that will soon move into the library after refining. This class is a wrapper for 3DS model loading, posing, shading and shadows. Each of the objects in the scene are dynamically shaded and shadowed using 2.0 pixel shaders with GLSL. The demo that renders this scene is available in /contrib/ArticulatedModel/demo.
G3D 3D Engine
The G3D 3D Engine has just released version 6.07 and is available at http://www.graphics3d.com. This is one of the last releases in the 6 series and includes several performance improvements, common geometry rendering, and enhancements to the application and window frameworks such as multiple context support. A complete list is available at http://g3d-cpp.sourceforge.net/.
G3D is an open-source, multi-platform 3D engine that currently provides two libraries: G3D and GLG3D. G3D is a support library that includes matricies, vectors, common shape geometries, coordinate frames, image loading and saving, 3D mathematics and debugging utilies and much more! It can be use separate from the rendering and application framework code for those wanting to develop their own engine or non-OpenGL based renderer. GLG3D is the OpenGL wrapper and application framework library. This library include an OpenGL wrapper, model architecture, ARB shader object wrappers with support for Cg, GLSL and ARB assembly, VAR support, camera control, lighting and sky helpers, multi-platform window and context creation and management and a simplified application framework. The GLG3D library especially allows developers to rapidly design a complete system.
Documentation for the current release is available at http://g3d-cpp.sourceforge.net/html/index.html and is something we are constantly trying to improve. One of the more useful areas is the topic index and quickly shows the way the classes are split up.
Technical Sample
I think a sample of the basic functionality provided for shaders should be simple enough to follow in this context. There are more complex and larger features being designed through the ArticulatedModel and SuperShader classes. This is the description we provide for the main G3D::Shader class.
Abstraction of the programmable hardware pipeline. Use with G3D::RenderDevice::setShader. G3D::Shader allows you to specify C++ code (by overriding the methods) that executes for each group of primitives and OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) code that executes for each vertex and each pixel.
Uses G3D::VertexAndPixelShader internally. What we call pixel shaders are really "fragment shaders" in OpenGL terminology.
Unless DO_NOT_DEFINE_G3D_UNIFORMS is specified to the static constructor, the following additional variables will be available inside the shaders:
uniform mat4 g3d_WorldToObjectMatrix;
uniform mat4 g3d_ObjectToWorldMatrix;
uniform mat4 g3d_WorldToCameraMatrix;
uniform mat4 g3d_CameraToWorldMatrix;
uniform int g3d_NumLights; // 1 + highest index of the enabled lights
uniform int g3d_NumTextures; // 1 + highest index of the enabled textures
uniform vec4 g3d_ObjectLight0; // g3d_WorldToObject * gl_LightState[0].position
If your shader begins with include or define the line numbers will be off by one in error messages because the G3D uniforms are inserted on the first line.
ATI's RenderMonkey is an excellent tool for writing GLSL shaders under an IDE. You can then load those shaders into G3D::Shader and use them with your application.
The following example computes lambertian + ambient shading in camera space, on the vertex processor. Although the shader could easily have been loaded from a file, the example loads it from a string (which is conveniently created with the STR macro)
Vertex shaders are widely supported, so this will run on any graphics card produced since 2001 (e.g. GeForce3 and up). Pixel shaders are only available on newer cards (e.g. GeForceFX 5200 and up).
Note: IFSModelRef and ShaderRef are reference counted and provide a pointer to the respective object. This the typical way of passing around objects in G3D.
IFSModelRef model;
ShaderRef lambertian;
model = IFSModel::create(app->dataDir + "ifs/teapot.ifs");
lambertian = Shader::fromStrings(STR(
uniform vec3 k_A;
void main(void) {
gl_Position = ftransform();
gl_FrontColor.rgb = max(dot(gl_Normal, g3d_ObjectLight0.xyz), 0.0) * gl_LightSource[0].diffuse + k_A;
}), "");
Rendering loop
app->renderDevice->setLight(0, GLight::directional(Vector3(1,1,1), Color3::white() - Color3(.2,.2,.3)));
lambertian->args.set("k_A", Color3(.2,.2,.3));
This example explicitly sets the ambient light color to demonstrate how arguments are used. That could instead have been read from gl_LightModel.ambient. Note the use of g3d_ObjectLight0. Had we not used that variable, Shader would not have computed or set it.
Finishing up
I hope this gives some insight into the current development and depth of G3D. The basics provided are quite extensive and are improving with each release. The more users develop and provide feedback, the more we refine and add.
As you can see above, modern features such as shader objects are incorporated and rapidly improving. All a developer really has to do is provide the vertex or fragment shader and any user defined variables. G3D will then load, compile and set the variables. The ability to easily use tone maps and shadow maps will soon be out of development and into the main library. Only user development and tests can help.
There are many features that have been in G3D that are just as useful. The built-in fast shadow renderer was developed between our project owner, Morgan McGuire and others including NVIDIA. More information on that is available at http://g3d-cpp.sourceforge.net/html/namespaceG3D.html#a340. This is for stencil based shadows without the use of shaders. Along with this, an easy to use wrapper for VAR objects is available and is our preferred rendering method. If VAR objects are not available, a fallback system is automatically applied. Details information on the use of VAR objects is available at http://g3d-cpp.sourceforge.net/html/classG3D_1_1VARArea.html.

Do you spring clean?
And, yes, I know that my Aussie mates will be muttering "it's autumn!" But here there are crocuses peeping out and I'm getting that hopeful feeling. Mind you, it's not too late for a frost, and the weather's been crazy this year…
I'd been feeling for a while that this blog's header was looking cluttered and tired, so I've spruced it up. It looks much cleaner to me. What do you think?
The new image is a watercolour, A View of the Cove and Part of Sydney, New South Wales, taken from Dawe's Point, by Joseph Lycett, painted in about 1818. It's one of the images in the Wallis album, which was acquired by the State Library of New South Wales in October 2011.
I've also changed the header for my website, A Rebel Hand: Nicholas Delaney of 1798, which is more focused on the book my mum and I wrote about our first Australian ancestor, and for my Twitter account.
And now I'd better get on with writing my post for the Worldwide Genealogy blog. It'll be published on February 14th. St Valentine's Day. Hmm, I wonder what to write about this time?

My Muse
Friday, May 13, 2011
I've had some time on my hands lately. Between rounds of Bejeweled and waiting on God, I've been taking pictures of my favorite muse. Well, one of my three favorites. Handsome. Rugged. Contemplative. The many faces of Danny Z. Not a bad way to kill some time if you ask me. He's a hottie.

College football's national signing day dawned with the consensus No. 1 prospect choosing Ole Miss over two more acclaimed Southeastern Conference programs. ESPN later reported that the mother of a mega-star running back from Florida had confiscated the letter-of-intent he planned to sign with Arkansas.
No such commotion in our little corner of Bowl Subdivision paradise Wednesday. Virginia Tech, Virginia and neophyte Old Dominion signed precisely those they expected to sign, with nary a paperwork kidnapping.
Per the coaching manual, Frank Beamer, Mike London and Bobby Wilder professed elation with their hauls, and indeed, each has reason for encouragement.
Recruiting services ranked the Hokies' 18-player class among the nation's top 20 and third in the ACC behind Florida State and Clemson. Developing undervalued prospects has been a staple of Beamer's Hall-of-Fame-caliber career, but in cornerback Kendall Fuller, safety Holland Fisher and defensive end Wyatt Teller, to name three, Tech landed players coveted by the likes of Clemson, Alabama, Oregon and Michigan.
Though not as heralded as last season, Virginia's 22-member group included late additions at a position of need — offensive linemen George Adeosun and Eric Tetlow — plus All-America running back Taquan Mizzell from Virginia Beach. Ohio State and Notre Dame were among the schools that offered Mizzell a grant-in-aid, and in-state advantage notwithstanding, besting the Buckeyes and Fighting Irish (combined 24-1 last season) is notable.
The Cavaliers and Hokies retained committed recruits despite a host of staff changes. Five of London's nine assistant coaches have changed since season's end, three of Beamer's.
Tech experimented with a two-hour mid-day webcast hosted by radio voice Bill Roth and featuring Beamer, staff members, interviews with January enrollees and highlights of all signees. Depending on the show's Nielsen ratings — wink — bank on other schools following suit.
The show's highlight was a conversation with Brandon Facyson, a defensive back from Georgia who hopes to become a heart surgeon. Facyson also holds the distinction of being the nation's only prospect to turn down Ole Miss and second-year coach Hugh Freeze.
Or so it seemed. Defensive end Robert Nkemdiche, everyone's No. 1 and originally a Clemson pledge, chose the Rebels Wednesday over Florida and LSU. Ole Miss also signed, according to ESPN ratings, the nation's top receiver and offensive lineman.
Nkemdiche hails from Georgia and is merely the latest example that college football is no different than most worlds. There are few, if any, borders. Such is life in this Internet, games-by-the-hundreds-on-TV age.
So just as Stanford, Alabama and Michigan can raid our fair commonwealth for the likes of quarterback Ryan Burns, defensive end Jonathan Allen and running back Derrick Green, Ole Miss can swipe the nation's most acclaimed prospect from Georgia.
"I think that's just the way it's going to be," Beamer said.
Indeed, of colleague Norm Wood's Fab 15 Virginia prospects, seven are headed across state lines, to Alabama, Stanford (two), Penn State, Florida State, South Carolina and Michigan.
That said, Tech, Virginia and ODU landed 12, 10 and seven recruits, respectively from the state. And with the Monarchs upgrading to the Bowl Subdivision and Conference, Wilder vowed to mine Virginia more aggressively than ever.
"Old Dominion is here, and we're here to stay," he said of his message to state high school coaches.
Comrade Fairbank informs that the Monarchs' highest-rated signee is defensive tackle Cullen Casey from Rochester, N.Y., who drew interest from the likes of Duke, Syracuse and Rutgers. Whether Wilder and his staff can lure such prospects in greater numbers will be intriguing to monitor as ODU starts playing the likes of Maryland and North Carolina next season.
Two years ago on signing day, Virginia received last-minute good news from coveted recruits Darius Jennings and Dominique Terrell. Last year, Virginia Tech did so from Joel Caleb, Ken Ekanem and Trey Edmunds, while losing Korren Kirven to Alabama.
Then there was the wild saga of Ja Wand Blue, a linebacker from Florida who had committed to Tech. He flipped to Miami on signing day, and his subsequent phone conversation with Hokies assistant coach Charley Wiles, understandably tense, was live-tweeted by a Palm Beach Post reporter permitted by the high school coach to listen.
Except the reporter believed he was listening to Beamer, creating quite the Twitter uproar.
Wednesday's comparable tale was that of Arkansas pledge Alex Collins of South Florida, whose mother wants him to stay closer to home and reportedly took his letter-of-intent.
As deadline loomed, the family squabble had not been resolved.
Virginia Tech football's official Twitter account summarized our day: "No drama and just the way we like it."

We've Come a Long Way, Baby: 7 Secrets of a 20-Year Marriage
This is the twentieth year I've spent with my husband Charlie. We've been through a lot together: we drank a lot and then got sober. I've gained and lost hundreds of pounds (he's done some of the same). We've gotten much older and more tired. And now, for nearly two years, we've had my mother living with us and struggling with massive medical issues. It's been hard, yo. But through it all, we've stayed in love. Not always madly in love, not always happy with each other, not always connected to each other -- yet that love is always there. So how have we done it? Well, it's been work, but I thought I'd share with you what we've learned so far. These 7 tips might seem a bit general and vague, but they've worked for us for 20 years. - By Cecily Kellogg

We've all heard the advice: Get enough sleep, don't overdo the cocktails, and give yourself time to slow down, meditate, get centered.
In other words, strive for balance—in your diet, life, and finances. Because then all will be well, right? You'll be happy, solvent, thin and Zen.
Or not. How many busy, creative, passionate women do you know who have figured out the perfect equation of work, rest and fun? Who never stay up too late, have one too many glasses of wine, plow through a pint of ice cream in a single sitting, or buy a pair of cute shoes they don't need?
OK, maybe you know one woman like that, but she's probably kind of boring. Or you hate her. What's crazy is that living a balanced life is supposed to make us all feel less stressed, so we strive for it--then get stressed out when we fail.
Let yourself off the hook about the balance thing. Right now. Sometimes, you've just got to have those shoes. Or ice cream. Or a whole day without the kids. Or you need to spend 14 hours passionately absorbed in a work project.
Or you wake up feeling so aimless that you spend an entire Saturday morning on Facebook instead of going to the gym.
You slip up. You fall down. You live a little too hard, have a little too much fun, get a little too intense sometimes. It's ok. In fact, the unbalanced life is sometimes just what you need.
Go nuts. What are some benefits of going overboard?

10 things you never knew you needed to know about camouflage
For a pattern, camouflage carries a loaded history. It was invented to trick enemy eyes and its ability to break up a silhouette, be it human or artillery, made it the difference between life and death. In its early days, camouflage was an emblem of military might.
But like a chameleon, camo took on other identities. Remove it from war and camo is at attention, fit for punks and protesters. Remove the politics and camo is on runways, seen on the designs of Gaultier and Galliano.
For something that's not meant to be seen, camo is everywhere.
1 // Smoke Gets In Your Eyes
Camouflage takes its name from the French word camouflet, the act of maliciously blowing smoke into someone's face to distort them.
2 // Sticks And Stones
The first recorded professionals in disguise were hunters. Their outfits were fashioned out of nature's material: foliage, twigs, and a musky scent to go. Scottish gamekeepers took it up a notch and added burlap and netting to create the Ghillie Suit, turning men into walking shrubs.
3 // For the Birds (And the Rodents, and the…)
Early camouflage enthusiast Abbott Thayer was an American artist and natural historian. While analyzing the animals' ability to disguise themselves with protective colouration, he came up with this crazy theory that the military should adopt this technique. Governments scoffed at his idea.
4 // Heavy Machinery
The disruptive patterns were eventually put to good use on artillery, tanks, aircrafts and ships during the First World War.
5 // Art Stars
One day, Pablo Picasso strolled the streets of Paris, and he spotted a camouflaged cannon. Upon recognizing the parallels with his Cubist art, he exclaimed, "It is we who created that!" (But, you know, in French.)
6 // Give 'Em the Old Razzle Dazzle
Camo met costume in 1919 at the famous Dazzle Balls of London's Chelsea Arts Club. The outlandish costumes featured abstract geometric shapes, bold stripes, and disruptive colours that broke up the silhouette. Created by British marine artist Norman Wilkinson, dazzle's actual purpose was to cover huge battleships during WWI.
7 // Can You See Me Now?
When camouflage appeared on combat gear in the Second World War, soldiers complained that it exposed them. When the Vietnam War broke out, camo was clearly working for the enemy, and American soldiers came around.
8 // Know Your Stripes
Tiger Stripes > Overlapping horizontals in olive greens and browns. Worn by Americans during the Vietnam War. It evolved from the lizard stripes worn by the French.
U.S. Woodland > Large splotches of brown, green, and black on a khaki background. This is the camouflage we typically think of. Released in 1967, and still used by the U.S. military today.
Desert Storm > Features black and white pebble-like clusters on a beige and brown backdrop. Developed in 1962 and used during the Gulf and Iraq wars. Also called the "chocolate chip."
Frog Skin > A reversible pattern displaying spots of green colours on one side and tan on the other. Created by Norvell Gillespie, inspired by amphibians.
Digital Camouflage > Pixilated patches in shades of green and tan. Also called the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP). Marine Patterns (MARPAT) is a variation that incorporates blacks. Adopted by the Canadian military in the late '90s.
Splittermuster > Composed of green and brown angular shapes on a tan background, with rain-like green lines on top. First issued to the German army in 1931.
9 // For the People
On the political battlefields, camo was a motif of ironic sorts among anti-war protesters in the '60s, punks in the '70s, and hip hop artists in the '80s. Public Enemy made their public image a black and white version of the U.S. Woodland.
10 // Walk, Walk, Fashion Baby
By the 1990s, camo found itself all over fashion week. Gaultier created camo chiffon gowns while Galliano put the print on silk evening dresses. No label utilized the print more than the London brand Maharishi. Its designer Hardy Blechman once said: "[Camouflage] was no longer about concealment, but became a symbol. It has become for many, unconsciously, a first step towards spiritual renewal."

New technologies are putting traditional media companies at a disadvantage but are providing consumers and advertisers with more choices, Mel Karmazin, the former chief executive of Sirius XM Radio, told CNBC's "Squawk on the Street" on Tuesday.
"I've been a seller of media assets and media stocks over the years," the former satellite radio exec said. "I think the technology that has come around has been very disadvantageous for these existing media companies."
Among the winners, though, are consumers and advertisers who have more choices as content is distributed across multiple platforms.
And even as audiences shift to watching their favorite programs on mobile devices, Karmazin doesn't expect the big advertising dollars to be there for the media companies. "You've heard the cliche about analog dollars, and digital dimes and now mobile pennies," he said, "as more and more of the audience goes to mobile, the ability to monetize it becomes even more challenging."
(Read More: Never Been a Better Time for Media: Discovery CEO)
The National Football League, though, is an example of an organization that's smartly mining the multi-platform landscape and offering options, Karamzin said. With a TV network deal, a cable channel, DirecTV deal, radio deals, an Internet presence and a mobile platform, "at some point, you're going to have all these advertisers that have a choice as to where they want to advertise on the NFL," Karamazin said.
Karamazin also joked about his media career and next steps.
Now that Liberty Media is taking control of Sirius XM, Karmazin said he's looking for his next job opportunity. "I know I have to work for a public company with an independent board and I hope I can find one that will be fun and challenging," he said.

Global Women's Rights Awards 2014
The Global Women's Rights Awards are given annually to a select few individuals who have contributed significantly – often against great odds and at great personal risk – to advance the rights of women and girls and to increase awareness of the injustices women face on account of their gender.
For nearly sixteen years, we have been a part of this most remarkable organization and its work for women's rights in the United States and around the world, especially in their efforts to help the women and girls of Afghanistan reclaim their full rights, for which the Feminist Majority Foundation was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.
We have seen first-hand the Feminist Majority Foundation's powerful work, and that is why the two of us are honored to serve for an eighth year as the Co-Chairs for the Global Women's Rights Awards. The awards will be presented at a dinner and gala on May 5, 2014 at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
We sincerely hope you join us as a participant or sponsor.

Earlier this month, a local family hosted a one-of-a-kind sixteenth birthday party for their daughter and five of her very lucky bffs. In addition to selecting a glassybaby from the store, each guest got to work one-on-one with a glass artist to create a unique piece of glass art. Happy sweet sixteenth, Annie!

Student commits suicide at VVC
Unidentified male shoots, kills himself in public area
The American Association of Suicidology recommends the mnemonic "IS PATH WARM" to detect warning signs of suicide.
• Ideation, or expressing suicidal thoughts
• Substance abuse
• Purposelessness, or feeling there's no reason for living
• Anxiety, agitation, unable to sleep or sleeping all the time
• Trapped, feeling there's no way out
• Hopelessness
• Withdrawal
• Anger, rage, seeking revenge
• Recklessness or engaging in risk activities, seemingly without thinking
• Mood changes
If you or someone you know is suicidal, call (800) 273-TALK.
VICTORVILLE • A Victor Valley College student shot and killed himself on campus Wednesday morning, according to college spokesman Bill Greulich.
The student was an 18-year-old male. Though sources gave the Daily Press the student's name Wednesday, it's being held until officials confirm they've notified family members and agree to formally release his identity.
The incident happened at approximately 10:20 a.m. outdoors in the area between the Student Activities Center and the Academic Counseling building, close to the elevators.
"I was in class in the Science building when it happened," Jessica Abeyta posted to VVDailyPress.com. "Someone got a text message saying that a student was shot in the head on campus, and our teacher put us immediately on lock-down. The first thing that came to mind was the Virginia Tech shooting. I gotta say, those couple of minutes were pretty scary, not knowing what the heck was going on."
A single shot was fired, Greulich said, with one or two students nearby at the time. No one else was injured in the incident and students were quickly updated about what had happened.
The teen first sent text messages to family and friends, possibly notifying them of his intentions, according to Randy Naquin, a spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.
"I was looking at my phone," said student Cody Meister, who didn't know the victim. "I looked up and he hit the ground."
Sheriff's officials responded to the scene and secured the area, according to Naquin. They were at the scene for several hours investigating the incident.
The Student Activities Center and surrounding areas closed during that time. The area was cleared by the early afternoon.
The entire campus was immediately notified of the incident, using a text messaging system and other means. However, Greulich said classes were continuing as usual Wednesday.
"I don't think it should have happened at school," an auto tech student who declined to be named said. "It's a shame."
A counselor was slated to be available until 5 p.m. to speak to students who needed to talk to someone about the tragedy, according to VVC counselor Diane Wollan. The college's counseling services at building 55 are working to help students and to refer them to the appropriate resources.
Online, students and faculty reacted to the news by sharing their feelings of shock and sadness, and they extended their condolences to the family and friends of the victim.
"We are shocked and our concern is for the family and friends, and the students as a whole on the campus," Greulich said.

The National Rifle Association, the nation's most prominent gun lobbying group, will speak out Friday in Washington on the Newtown school shootings.
"Out of respect for the families, and as a matter of common decency, we have given time for mourning, prayer and a full investigation of the facts before commenting," stated an NRA press release four days after the shootings.
Since the Aurora, CO, shootings in July 2012, media outlets have sought a response from the NRA, a Fairfax, VA-based nonprofit that, according to its website, is "widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights."
The group has stayed silent and suspended some of its social media, including a 1.7 million fan Facebook page, since the shootings.
The press release lacked specifics but said the group would hold a "major news conference."
"The NRA is prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again," the statement said.
Locally, the NRA has 86 clubs and associations within a 30-mile radius of Rockville, MD, as well as 138 locations that offer basic firearms training, 31 gun ranges and four "Refuse to be a Victim" seminars.

Russian Class Description
by, 16th November 2012 at 05:28 PM (259 Views)
Since the first day I had walked into the classroom, I knew I would enjoy it. There are many posters pinned to the walls with Russian text on them, and except for the back wall of the room, there is one giant dry-erase board on each of the four, and a medium-sized map of Russia is on the left wall beside the large white board.
The classroom is usually loud; laughter is often present, and everyone smiles in there. We all have Russian nicknames that we picked at the very beginning of the school year that could be animals, objects, or words you could describe people with. We used to randomly repeat the Russian word for 'bull,' which was one of my fellow classmates's nicknames, and we sounded like, as one of my friends described, dying seals. "Buik!" "Bu-Bu-Buik!" It took until we had a substitute for that class to make us grow mature. Occasionally, I would try to start up the storm of hilarity, but it rarely worked. Back when we used to do it, the teacher would call us 'retarded' after laughing for a while.
All of us learn at completely different paces. As I learned it over the summer, the thirty-three character Cyrillic alphabet was never a challenge for me to grasp and memorize in-class. And due to the head-start I gave myself, I can now glance at a word and read the Russian letters. I felt my jaw drop as I looked at the light green test packet. "I can read Russian quickly," I thought to myself in awe of my brain finally cooperating with the letters that I used to try so hard to read. I was almost tempted to ask everyone if they could do it, too. However, I made an attempt to, instead of staring at my test in awe, actually take it.
I would consider the language to be similar to English. Many of the commonly used words are the same, if not similar enough to recognize first-glance. To my surprise, the sentence structure is actually identical. The grammar, however, is very different and there are many complexities to it, especially to an English-speaker. There are male and female forms for most words, suffixes for verbs which are interchangeable depending on who did it, whether it was him, her, it, they, us, you, and a plural form of you, which could also be considered to be formal.
Russian people, as according to my teacher who actually came from Moscow, are very formal, and are careful about what they say to each-other. Close friends can use shorter words to communicate; greetings, goodbyes, and there is even an informal version for "what is your name."
I am enjoying the class a ton, and this is my only class in which I could write such a long description for. I have learned a lot, and am always looking forward to it; even during the weekends. My thirst for knowledge always craves the
vodkaflavor of Russian class.

After predicting that the Broncos would go 4-12 this year, I bet a friend $60 that they would win six games or less.
I thought he was being generous.
Undefeated start against Ohio? Count 'em both.
Raiders? Duh.
The first "real test" against the Cowboys? Passed ( to the enormous hands of Brandon Marshall).
The Mentor? Fist pumped outta here.
Division rival gut-check? Checked.
I was a little worried this Monday against the Chargers. Although the Broncos have changed drastically this year, the start of the game was starting to feel like a vintage-Broncos letdown to match those vintage, vintage uniforms (don't worry, that was the last we'll see of the mustard yellow this year. Although considering how the Broncos have played in them, maybe a couple more weeks wouldn't be so bad.)
LaDanian Tomlinson showed threats of returning to form, something he likes to do against the Broncos (14 carries for 96 yards and 3 TDs in Week 17 last year, after a very sub-par season for him).
In the Chargers' second drive he broke through the middle for 25 yards on a cute little spas-flick from Phillip Rivers.
One play later LT ran for 13 yards to move the Chargers to the Broncos 4 yard-line, and I started getting my LT-is-gonna-take-this-game-over tingles of dread.
Fortunately he got stuffed up the middle the next two plays, then got upset on the sideline after being taken out on third down. Darren Sproles got stuffed and the Broncos held the Chargers to a field goal.
Then Eddie Royal returned the ensuing kick off for a 93-yard touchdown to kick off an eventful day on special teams.
After two penalties against New England to extend a third-quarter drive, the Broncos special teams responded this week with two Royal touchdowns, the second coming on a 72-yard punt return by in the second quarter.
The Broncos also gave up a punt return for a touchdown to Sproles later in the second quarter, and Matt Prater just missed a 54-yard field goal to tie the game as the half expired.
The first half looked a lot like the Broncos' first-halves of the last two weeks. The offense struggled to produce points, just three if you take away Royal's special teams touchdowns, and the defense fought hard and looked tough but gave up 20, 13 if you take away Sproles' punt return.
But then the second-half Broncos emerged as their dominant selves. The D held the Chargers to just three second-half points, bringing the season-total to just 10 second-half points. Amazing.
And the offense also found its stride in the second half, culminating with a 19-yard, third-quarter touchdown pass from Kyle Orton to tight end Tony Scheffler on a perfectly thrown dart to the corner of the endzone and some ballerina-like footwork from Scheffler.
Sceffler finished the game with a game-high six catches for 101 yards, the first 100+-yard receiving performance for the Broncos this year.
I predicted the Broncos to go 4-12 this year; well they matched that win total in four weeks.
They matched that win total before their bye-week, and coming out of it they'll face the 3-3 Ravens at Baltimore with a chance to improve to 7-0, and rob me of the best $60 I've ever spent.

Just a typo. Protect the unit from freezing!
I am considering going "tankless" with a Rheem RTG-66XN, which is an outdoor gas-powered tankless water heater. I live in Minnesota, and I'm interested in the outdoor unit primarily so that the unit won't consume the indoor air that I paid to heat or cool, I'd rather it consume outdoor air and so I don't need to run new venting.
- What is the typical installation cost for an outdoor tankless unit?
- Where would people typically install the tankless unit? Is it built to be directly exposed to the elements?
- Rheem says their heaters are safe to -30F. Can anyone comment how it's freeze protection works?
What is your demand for hot water. Note that in your Minnesota winter, where you will need at least 70º rise to get barely hot enough for a shower, the flow is only about 4 GPM, and if you wanted 80 or 90º rise, your max flow will be even less.
My indoor Rinnai R75 uses outdoor air for combustion. The single vent to the outside has an inner steel pipe for exhaust gas out, and an outer pvc pipe for combustion air into unit. All in a 5" tube.
