One day before the world celebrated St. Patrick, and in the middle of March Madness, a very important and perhaps historic verdict was handed down in a New Jersey courtroom.
The death of a Rutgers college student named Tyler Clementi made national news in September, 2010, for a lot of reasons. For one, Clementi committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge. For another, he was an openly gay student.
But the biggest reason Clementi's death became known worldwide is because his freshman roommate at Rutgers, a despicable kid named Dharun Ravi, used a webcam to secretly videotape Clementi having sex with another man. Ravi also sent out messages on Twitter and texted his friends to encourage them to watch.
Disgusting and deplorable, Ravi's actions sparked nationwide outrage, a wonderful "It Gets Better" series of videos aimed at helping young gay teens, and a criminal prosecution of Ravi under New Jersey laws.
Friday, Ravi was convicted of all 15 charges, ranging from invasion of privacy, tampering with evidence, and bias intimidation. He faces up to 10 years in prison.
I'm sorry but I have ZERO sympathy for Ravi. He knew exactly what he was doing: he wanted to humiliate Clementi, and hold him up to ridicule for all to see. Because Clementi wasn't like him, and therefore he should be mocked and laughed at.
I'm not naive enough to think that one verdict in a New Jersey courtroom will stop gay bashing in America, or on college campuses. But I am glad that a major cause of Tyler Clementi's death did not go unpunished.
I am glad that hate-crime laws are being enforced more and more strongly across the country. And I am glad that maybe, just maybe, one verdict may go a long way toward tolerance in America.Z
If you want to know some more background about the two boys involved in the case, including some harrowing details about Ravi's mindset in doing what he did, the New Yorker magazine's Ian Parker did a wonderful story about them recently. Check it out here.
**It was a great weekend of NCAA Tournament games, except for a few hours Friday night when I had to watch my beloved Dukies go down to No. 15 seed Lehigh in its opening game. To say I was stunned is an understatement (ask the people at the NYC bar who were watching with me, as I yelled at the TV and paced behind the bar). It's not that I thought Duke was going to win the national title this year, but to lose in the first round is unacceptable, and fairly inexplicable.
Just one of those years where it just never clicked for Duke, I suppose.
A few other thoughts from a fascinating weekend of games:
— So great seeing Norfolk State score its enormous upset on Friday as well, beating Missouri. And then, after 48 hours of hearing how great they were, they sorta got demolished by Florida. Still, the faces of joy of Norfolk after the win Friday is why I love the Tournament so much. And an interview like this from Norfolk State's star, Kyle O'Quinn.
— Hell of a weekend for Lehigh. Not only beating Duke, but coming awfully close to beating Xavier on Sunday night, too. Terrific effort from those kids, and I'm wondering how in the world C.J. McCollum, Lehigh's star, didn't go to a bigger basketball school.
— Only one true "Cinderella" left in the tournament (VCU nearly pulled off another upset Saturday night, but couldn't quite do it.) Ohio U. is for real. Two great wins this weekend, and now they play North Carolina without the Tar Heels' engine, Kendall Marshall, who broke his wrist Sunday. Awful injury and a terrible blow for the Heels.
— Finally, that shirt above was worn by a Kentucky fan this weekend. Dude, it's been TWENTY years since the Laettner shot. Time to get over it. Y'all have won plenty since then.
**Finally today, sometimes you just have to stop and admire a guy doing what he loves and enjoying himself. I give you this Rutgers University band member… Look at that kid go!

Uncertainty over the Cyprus bailout deal continues as the government delayed the bailout vote till Tuesday.
The biggest point of contention is the tax on depositors.
The first version of the plan was to tax depositors in Cypriot banks 10 percent on deposits of over €100,000, and 6.75 percent for deposits lower than that.
But the outcry over the levy prompted Cyprus' government to renegotiate the plan. Under the new plan, depositors with under €100K would be taxed 3 percent, those between €100 - €500K will be taxed 10 percent, and those with over €500K will be taxed 15 percent.
Following this, news emerged of the losses to Russian depositors. And there have been some reports suggesting that Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin is happy to see those depositing their money offshore punished.
But in his latest note, Dennis Gartman discusses the presence of Russian money:
"There is no question but upon whom the decision by the Cypriot government noted at length above is going to fall most heavily: Russian oligarchs; Russian government officials and Russian criminals.
"Cyprus has been their own private Switzerland for many years. Legal and non-legal Russian cash has swamped the banking system in Cyprus since the early 90's. The beauty of the island; the ease of admission too and exit from the island via boat or plane; the secrecy of the banking laws; the warm Mediterranean climate and the ease of which Cypriot authorities could be bribed and bought all worked to make Cyprus the center of Russian capital flight.
"The Russians... legal and illegal... loved Cyprus for the reasons noted above, not the least of which was the tiny 4% corporate tax rate there. Who would not like that rate? It attracted money relentlessly, with the Russians leading the way. Criminal money especially was attracted to the secrecy laws, sending money to the island to have it "washed" and then either left there on deposit, or returned to other banking centers for "investment" abroad, but "washed" thoroughly and made nearly impossible to be followed and tracked. It was an enterprise that worked to the benefit of the Cypriot government and to the Russians, despite the comment by the new President, Mr. Anastasiades, that Cyprus was and is "not complacent about money laundering."
Gartman refers to the levy as a "theft." He also says Cyprus has now "angered the people in the world you'd least wish to anger."
"One could only laugh as such a comment; of course Cyprus was complacent about laundering. To think otherwise was and is naïve. Ah, but now you've stolen Russia money... or soon shall depending upon the vote in the Cypriot parliament... and that is dangerous... very. One does not steal Russian mafia money and get away with it. There are fewer statements of fact that are more certain, more factual, more unyielding than this statement. Russian Mafia figures do not take well to being stolen from, and they take even less well to be made fools of. We see no reason to mince words at this point: People will be hurt over this decision; some shall be killed."
It'll be interesting to see how this all unfolds.

Welcome to Chianti's Pizza & Pasta.
Our focus is to bring old world recipes and flavors to Seminole County
Chianti is a well known table wine originating from Tuscany. It was historically associated with a squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket, called a fiasco ("flask"; pl. fiaschi); however, the fiasco is only used by a few makers of the wine now; most Chianti is now bottled in more standard shaped wine bottles.
Chianti has graced the tables of many family dinners and first dates, and brings back memories of a simpler time, when the family met every evening to discuss family events, world news and celebrate milestones.
We have built Chianti's Pizza and Pasta in Sanford, in a warm casual inviting environment to celebrate great food, Family and good friends and memories.
We hope you feel the same way!

River Oak Diamonds
I am a 28 year old male entrepreneur and I am currently in the process of having my e-commerce website designed. It is a diamond and diamond jewellery based website selling the finest cut diamonds in the world!
Basically my target audience is everyone......but with more of an appeal to the affluent.
I am looking for a very classy, very stylish, elegnt and very "up-market" logo that screams QUALITY!!!
The logo can incorporate a diamond or diamonds but does not have to. You could maybe try incorporating a river and oak tree or acorn (River Oak Diamonds) but again this is not a necessity.
If you can imagine all of the most exclusive brands in the world...Rolex, Cartier, Gucci, Armani, Versace, Ferrari, Mercedes, Coca Cola, Levi's, IBM, Microsoft, Google, McDonalds etc etc they are all very simple in design yet boldly stand-out.
My website will have a white background. Please feel free to experiment with different colours, fonts etc. Above all please be very creative! You more or less have a free-reign to design a quality logo.
Whatever ideas you have...please design them!
Please do not use any stock images or clip-art in the logo.
Thank you very much!

Attention, Joan Rivers. Heads up to the E! Network. Pay attention, producers of the upcoming Academy Awards pre-show. I am about to show you how to do a Red Carpet right. Because everything is better with video games.
Last week, I consented to perform what I believe is the lowest act of journalism practiced in America. I agreed to work a spot on a red carpet. I had agreed to stand on the non-carpeted side of a red velvet rope and grab my five minutes with each person who traipsed down the carpet.
I said yes, but I vowed I would not be a cliche.
I would not ask people what they were wearing. I would not ask inane questions about how it felt to be nominated, nor would I flatter anyone by telling them how good they looked.
Some of these pitfalls were not hard to avoid, because my red carpet was the red carpet for the Interactive Achievement Awards. A video game awards show. My kind of people would be walking down this aisle, video game people, people who might not have much to brag about what they're wearing.
On Thursday night, at the Red Rock Casino before the 13th iteration of these awards, I took my position, sandwiched between Wired's Chris Kohler and freelancer John Gaudiosi, standing about midway down the length of velvet rope on top of a piece of paper marked "Kotaku.com."
I had my DS with me, because I wasn't going to ask these people many questions, not if I could help it. No, I was going to play a video game with these people, a who's who of video game designers. Each designer would get one try to play before moving on.
My game would be Scribblenauts. It was almost chess, which I figured I could play one side of, allowing these world's finest designers each a turn to contribute a move to the opposing side. But chess is not really a video game. Neither, technically, is the menu screen of Scribblenauts — a virtually blank canvas upon which any concrete nouns you type into the system will -poof!- be rendered on that screen. But Scribblenauts would at least allow me to do something quick and easily comprehensible with these designers.
Each developer would give me a word, contributing their noun-turned-virtual-object/being to the menu-screen landscape of the game. What strange menagerie would these people make?
What would a session of a game played by a dozen or more of the world's best gamemakers in rapid succession be like?
1) Denny Thorley
First up was the tall, bald Denny Thorley, president of Day 1 Studios and a day one guinea pig for my experiment. I explained the concept and ventured into the start screen of Scribblenauts, which was populated just by a boy named Maxwell, some land and a blue sky. Thorley requested a "football." And so it was that a football appeared next to the boy. That was it. I ushered Thorley along so he could answer someone else's questions. I was done with him.
2) Don Daglow
Next was a white-haired fixture of these video game red carpets, the affable Don Daglow. He is credited with making the first baseball video game and was one of the first Intellivision programmers. This gaming veteran eyed my experiment and requested a "car." A car appeared, as inanimate as the football. Slow start. But, Daglow said, he would tell me the story of this game: "They are going on a big long drive, a drive to the football game!" (Like a drive to the end zone, get it?)
3) David Adams and Tim Campbell
Two of the guys who run Vigil Games were next. They had just released Darksiders and, perhaps because I was beginning to doubt the entertainment value of my experiment, I actually asked these guys questions. That was a whole other kind of silliness. I think these guys had played Scribblenauts before, because when it came time to play, they asked me to summon Cthulhu. The winged, bipedal Lovecraftian monster appeared and began waving its clawed hands at Maxwell. The Darksiders guys had just made my experiment interesting.
4) Randy Pitchford
I knew of Randy Pitchford's absurdly high Xbox Live gamerscore. I had seen his company's forest of arcade machines. This next man, owner of development studio Gearbox Software, makers of Borderlands and other games, was a gamer. Randy is a jovial man and for a reason I would not fully understand until the next day, he just about jumped out of his shoes exhorting me to add to this Scribblenauts scene: "George Washington! He won't tell a lie!"
The next day, Pitchford would end his talk at the DICE gaming summit, of which the awards are a part, by pondering the portrait of Washington that appears on the dollar bill, a notable merging of artistic and commercial success.
George Washington was less successful in Scribblenauts. Cthulhu annihilated America's first President.
5) Richard Garriott
The man who made one of the most important massively multiplayer games as well as enough money to launch himself to space on a Russian rocket, Richard Garriott, was next. He asked for, surprise, a "rocket." A tiny one appeared and clunked to the ground. Kind of a downer. But at least Cthulhu didn't crush it.
6) Ted Price
Ted Price runs Insomniac Games. The man plays. And whatever he asked for was so exciting that I forgot to write it down. I bet Cthulhu killed it, whatever it was.
Update From Ted Price: I asked for the Titanic first because I had just seen David Gallo's awesome talk on ocean exploration (and figured the Titanic would squash Cthulu). But Scribblenauts wouldn't accept it. So then I asked for a cephalopod (again, inspired by Mr. Gallo). And Cthulu killed it in about 2 seconds.
7) That Game Company
Jenova Chen, creator of poetic video game Flower, showed up with his colleagues. I had a gaggle of designers in front of me all at once. Jenova knew a flower wouldn't stand a chance against Cthulhu. He asked for a sandstorm. Not in the game. Snowstorm? A cloud appeared and snowflakes dropped. Briefly, it appeared to calm Cthulhu.
8) Mark Cerny
The legendary designer who has played a hand in everything from Marble Madness and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 to Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted would be receiving the equivalent of a lifetime achievement this night. I was making him play Scribblenauts.
He asked for Clank. Doubtful, I told him. This was not a Sony-made game. So he changed his request and asked for a robot. And wouldn't you know it, the robot that appeared looked like Clank. It wouldn't be Cthulhu that destroyed this robot. It was Jenova Chen's snow. A few snowflakes shorted circuits and the thing blew up.
9) Ron Fish
Next was Ron Fish, who I didn't know well. It was suggested I look him up later. And true enough, I know this man's work. He makes music for lots of video games. Ron told me he'd be bad at this. He asked for a "snowball." A snowball appeared. Nothing else happened.
10) David Crane
The following towering presence, pictured higher up, was David Crane, a co-founder of Activision, the inventor of Pitfall and one of the all-time greats in so many ways.
David Crane didn't know Scribblenauts. But he knows how to play games. I explained the problem of Cthulhu running roughshod. David Crane summoned a T-Rex. The T-Rex fought Cthulhu. The T-Rex killed Cthulhu.
11) Garry Kitchen
David Crane's business partner in new venture AppStar Games, Garry Kitchen followed Crane. He wanted a "pumpkin" and so he got one.
12) Jessica Chobot
IGN reporter Jessica Chobot was walking the carpet. Maybe if you're an attractive reporter you get to do these things. Jessica wanted Siouxsie Sioux, lead signer of Siouxsie and the Banshees. Many spelling attempts later, it didn't work. So she asked for a "goth chick." I typed in "goth girl" and a little girl appeared.
Jessica was thrilled. The T-Rex wasn't and killed the goth girl.
13) Ken Lobb
When you work a red carpet, public relations people help you out by ushering folks to you and whispering a hint about who they are (that second thing doesn't happen if the ushered person is Harrison Ford, I believe). I was told the next person was Doug Lowenstein, longtime president of the Entertainment Software Association. But today, Lowenstein was looking an awful lot like Microsoft and former Nintendo game design exec Ken Lobb. Ken and I chatted about Perfect Dark, a game he's been affiliated with in both his Nintendo and Xbox jobs.
He wanted a pterodactyl. We thought it would fight with the T-Rex. Fate had other plans.
14) Jay Mohr
The comedian and longtime host of the Interactive Achievement Awards, Jay Mohr was next. I asked for a noun. He asked for "terpsichorean," which can mean "dancer." Problem was, Scribblenauts had just frozen. I blamed Jay Mohr. That's what he got for trying to be clever.
We re-booted the game. No luck with "terpsichorean" and Jay was being pulled away. He had to get ready to host. He didn't want to leave. I told him I needed a concrete noun. He wanted to know what that was. Something you can touch, I said.
So he asked for anti-matter. Clever. We got a blob of blackness and Jay walked on.
15) Evan Skolnick
Second to last was Evan Skolnick, lead writer of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. Time was ticking so he made it quick. "Zebra." So I had a Zebra and antimatter.
16) Patrice Desilets and Corey May
And finally we had two of the chief creators of Assassin's Creed II, Desilets and May. Whatever they asked for is lost to memory. What I can tell you is this. It was sucked into the antimatter. So was the zebra. And as they walked away, Scribblenauts was left barren.
And then, the awards show went on. My work at the red carpet was complete. I challenge others who work any red carpets for any awards show to find a way to have more fun or get better journalism accomplished. I don't think it can be done.

In our series, we've discovered ample support that evolutionists fit facts to conclusions. In this article, we'll continue to explore whether it is true.
In this post, we begin exploring Venema's evidences in chapter two of Adam and the Genome, titled "Genomes as Language, Genomes as Books."
In this article, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson reviews chapter 1 (written by Venema and titled "Evolution as a Scientific Theory") of Adam and the Genome.
It appears that Venema fits facts to his preconceived conclusions. Data and facts from YEC scientists that contradicted his claims were left out.
The recent publication of Adam and the Genome illustrated how evolutionists find new and more nuanced ways to contradict the biblical account.
Duff's article explicitly and exclusively focuses on criticizing the YEC view of speciation, rather than on supporting the evolutionary view.
For more than a century Christians have looked for the scientific silver bullet that would destroy Darwinian evolution and prove biblical creation to be true.
All of these data together lead to testable scientific predictions that put the evolutionary and old-earth creation models to shame.
When God created the kinds, He frontloaded them with genetic differences—with the potential to form all sorts of new species and varieties.
The major remaining question is how tens of thousands of species could arise in a few thousand years.
We need to know how these Ark ancestors can multiply fast enough to generate enough bodies to possess these new traits.
Since species are defined by traits and characteristics that are heritable, the origin of species is a fundamentally genetic question.
Careful reexamination of the first two chapters of Darwin's seminal work, On the Origin of Species, leads to a surprising conclusion.
Despite his Herculean reading, his conclusions and advice to creationists illustrate the limits of analyzing a movement from a distance.
Today's species are the link between the past and the present. The genetics of the species around us today contain the echo of the Ark.
After the animals Noah took on board the Ark survived the Flood and stepped off the ship around 4,500 years ago, where did they go? What was their fate?
If you search Genesis 1–11, you won't find an explicit time stamp for the disembarking event. So when did the Ark land? When did animals restart their lives?
Male and female animals were on board Noah's Ark to reproduce after the Flood. This has profound ramifications for identifying what the kinds looked like.
The more we learn about the origin of species, the more we know about Noah's Ark. The Flood reverberates to the present day in the form of genetics.
These results underscore the biblical model of human origins and simultaneously undercut the validity of the evolutionary out-of-Africa model.PDF Download
This study shows that created heterozygosity, together with natural processes that are observable, is sufficient to account for species' diversity.PDF Download
Brandon Ambrosino's article about AiG undermines his own position—and illustrates how hostile media often help the very activities they're trying to oppose.
Kenneth Keathley distinguishes our view from universal common ancestry, but putting "Ken Ham Embraces Evolution" as the title of his post is highly misleading.

After receiving a Rotary International scholarship to study in Ireland, Klein continued her education at the University of Denver's Sturm College of Law, where she was an editor for the Law Review.
After graduation, Klein used her legal expertise to tackle the injustices of human trafficking, representing victims in civil court to recover compensation for the damages they have suffered as a result of their enslavement. Most recently, Klein has taken on cases against military contractors accused of trafficking crimes abroad.
She also wrote Colorado's anti-human trafficking laws.
Klein and her husband, Judge James C. Klein, are the parents of one son, Connor.
Colorado native Keri Christiansen spent the majority of her career as a talent agent, working on such productions as Die Hard III, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and more than 40 Perry Mason and Father Dowling episodes; she also screened 500-plus candidates for the first season of The Apprentice.
In 2005, Christiansen received the life-changing news that she had breast cancer. Following her diagnosis, she felt compelled to go public with her story in an effort to bring awareness to a disease that crosses all age and socio-economic boundaries.
She has been a spokesperson for Buddy Check 9, a program her sister, 9News anchor Kim Christiansen, brought to KUSA-TV; a chair of the Susan G. Komen Denver Affiliate's Pink Tie Affair, and honorary chair for AMC Cancer Fund's Cocktails for a Cure.
Now an executive with The Denver Hospice, Christiansen helps with leadership development, fundraising and the young professionals group, Next Gen. In addition, she is active with the Denver Center Alliance and Fashion Group International, the University of Colorado Buff Club and Pi Beta Phi sorority alumnae.
Sue Anschutz-Rodgers is president, executive director and trustee of the Anschutz Family Foundation, which since 1982 has supported nonprofit organizations in Colorado that help people to help themselves. The foundation has a special interest in nonprofits that focus on the young, elderly and disabled.
A native of Kansas and graduate of the University of Kansas, Anschutz-Rodgers grew up on a ranch, and today owns and operates Crystal River Ranch near Carbondale.
A former Citizen of the West, Anschutz-Rodgers led an effort to develop an agreement known as conservation easement, a provision that sets aside acreage on which development by future owners will be prohibited in exchange for tax incentives and estate-planning benefits. She also helped establish the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust (CCALT), which works with ranchers and farmers to protect productive agricultural lands and the conservation values they provide.
Anschutz-Rodgers was the first woman to be appointed to the nine-member executive committee of the National Western Stock Show, and serves as first vice president.
Raised in Littleton, Diane Van Deren has excelled as an elite athlete in a variety of disciplines.
As a child, she competed on boys' baseball teams, showed her horse in local rodeos and won Colorado State Championship titles in both golf and tennis. Although she received college scholarship offers for both basketball and tennis, VanDeren left high school early to play on the European women's professional tennis tour.
After returning to the United States and earning a degree in speech communications from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin, she continued to be a regular on the tennis circuit, traveling around the country and throughout Europe as a sponsored professional player.
During her third pregnancy, VanDeren was diagnosed with epilepsy, which led to 10 years of frightening and debilitating seizures.
She underwent brain surgery to remove part of her right temporal lobe, a procedure that not only gave her with a seizure-free life, but a superhuman endurance that has driven her to win such grueling events as the 2009 Yukon Arctic Ultra, a 430-mile foot race across frozen Canadian wilderness; the 2010 Australia 100K North Face Endurance Race; and the Iditarod Trail Invitational, which she completed despite a fractured ankle.
In 2010, she turned to mountaineering and climbed South America's tallest peak, Aconcagua. On this expedition, researchers at the famed Mayo Clinic monitored her movements to determine what sets her apart from other athletes.

Bloomin' Bluebell
Knitted this pattern? Upload a picture to PLANET WHODUNNKNIT and show it off to the world.
The Bloomin' Bluebell is a handknitted fibre flower made for the lovely folks at The Woodland Trust.
Your yarnstorming mission, should you choose to accept it, is to:
knit a Bloomin' Bluebell of your own
tag him with the Visitwoods.org label
leave him somewhere city-flavoured to inspire others to love their local woods and go and visit
Plant your Bluebell somewhere it will be seen: at the station on your way to work, by the bus stop, perched by a post box, under an arch, peering at people as they pick up their free papers, or fluttering its petal in a friendly way outside your local shops.
Don't worry about leaving him in the wild. Each Bloomin' Bluebell is highly trained to survive in a suburban setting. He'll be just fine.

I lift weights but sometimes I'm so tired I forget to take dinner because I end up asleep in bed after showering, then I go without eating until next day's lunch time. And I feel light headed before eating and all round slower when moving. Is this starvation mode?
And is it true that whatever I eat after this will be stored as fat in the body?

But when people talk to me about the technology I have to constantly Reframe the Issue and explain how I'm not all pro any technology for its own sake. You don't go, "Oh here's this cool technology let me shoehorn it into my classroom." Instead you go, "I think I have thought of the best way to teach this, and it would be impossible in an analog world, but I know enough about the technologies to realize this idea." You don't go to a twenty-minute inservice about xyz.com and go "I'm going to make an xyz.com lesson." You use xyz.com for your own purposes, or you suspect its utility and put it in your back pocket, until your awesome instruction idea needs xyz.com in order to exist. Your lesson is the fuel and xyz.com is the oxygen.
So here is a lesson that would not exist without dynamic geometry software and classroom polling. It does not matter what sort of dynamic geometry software. I've done it with Sketchpad and I've done it with Nspire and next year I'll probably do it with Geogebra (damn, that sentence makes me sound disreputablllllle.) But I don't think you could get the same effect without the technology. Maybe you could give them diagrams on paper and rulers and protractors, but there's no way to make those not static, even if there's a lot of them.
We are discovering additional properties of special kinds of parallelograms. So everyone starts with a sketch of a parallelogram (that you give them, or in our case, that we constructed the day before.) And the children are in groups. Each group gets a different set of questions to explore. Writing these exploration-y questions is a bit of a dark art. You don't want to send them on a chase of the wild-goose variety but you don't want to set them down too much of a pre-defined path either.
Example: Group 1. Start with your sketch of a parallelogram. Construct both diagonals. Drag points around until the diagonals are perpendicular to each other. You will have to decide what to measure so you can be sure. What is the name of the special kind of parallelogram you get as a result of perpendicular diagonals? Now you need to find at least two NEW properties of this shape. They must be NEW properties that are NOT properties of any old parallelogram. You will have to measure some stuff. If you can't find two new properties, keep staring at it until you get a good idea. Write them down. Verify them with measurements. See if your group members agree. Drag vertices to make a different parallelogram where the diagonals are still perpendicular. Are your new properties still true? Challenge: It is possible to construct a quadrilateral with perpendicular diagonals that is NOT a parallelogram. Open a new page and construct such a shape. What other properties does it have?
They get ten or so minutes to play around. It is helpful to give them some verbal marginally-hysterical (at least in my case, they always feel slightly deranged) instructions like "It is not a square! Nobody has squares! The correct answer to any question is not "square!"" and you also need to run around like a crazy person and make sure everyone knows how to grab points and drag them around (you might as well admit that screaming about rhombuses to a roomful of 15 year olds makes you a little bit of a crazy person.) Because you KNOW there are at least three maybe four kids who try one thing for half a second and it doesn't work and then they will sit there and stare at their desk for twenty minutes unless you interrupt that little party.
Once they have had ample time to explore, and the faster workers are getting bogged down in the challenge questions you put at the end, you ask them to respond. I have queried each group verbally in front of the class, one by one, and that doesn't work so hot. Usually in a class of 30+ hardly anybody likes to talk in front of everybody. Better... send them a link to a Google Form where they can type an answer to each question. Or come up with your own response system that your existing tech will support. This year I used TI Navigator polls. They are annoying because the TI's don't have a qwerty keyboard. (Lesson number 9,125,698 learned the hard way.)
Once all the groups have had a chance to report by whatever method, then you write down your notes of properties of rhombuses and rectangles. And then you give them a bunch of problems to find missing measurements in rhombuses and rectangles. They can reason it out now. You don't have to show them example problems first. It feels like kind of a magic trick.
THAT's what the technology is for.

Did you know? We're a little different to most entertainment companies, we always arrive 30
minutes before the party commences (when booked at the start of a party), so that we can greet the guests as they arrive. This gives you the time to finish those last-minute preparations in peace!

- We tailor the party to your child, their friends and what they love. We take the time to learn about your child's personality and interests so that we can create an event that is unforgettable and unique. We include all those quirky little things that your child loves!

All News Releases By Date
EPA Awards City of Wilson, NC and the Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments a total of $1.4 Million to Assess and Clean Up Contaminated Sites
Release Date: 06/03/2014
Contact Information: James Pinkney, (404) 562-9183 (Direct), (404) 562-8400 (Main) firstname.lastname@example.com
ATLANTA - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional Administrator, Heather McTeer Toney, will recognize the City of Wilson, NC and the Upper Coastal Plain Council of Governments as recipients of a $1,000,000 Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund grant and a $400,000 Brownfields community-wide assessment grant, respectively, for cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated properties on Wednesday, June 4, 2014.
The grants, funded by EPA's Brownfields program, will help recipients to conduct assessments and cleanup activities on Brownfields properties. The investments will continue to provide communities with necessary funding to help clean up America's land, boost local economies and create jobs while protecting public health.
Who: EPA Regional Administrator, Heather McTeer Toney, Congressman G.K. Butterfield, NC DENR Assistant Secretary for Environment, Mitch Gillespie, City of Wilson Mayor, Bruce Rose, City of Wilson Director of Planning and Development Services, Rodger Lentz
What: EPA Brownfields Grant Recognition to City of Wilson, NC.
When: Wednesday, June 4, 2014 at 10:00 a.m.
Where: Vollis Simpson Whirligig Park, 112 Goldsboro Street East, Wilson, NC
EPA's Brownfields Program empowers states, communities, and other stakeholders to work together to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields. A brownfield site is real property, the expansion, redevelopment, or reuse of which may be complicated by the presence or potential presence of a hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant. In 2002, the Small Business Liability Relief and Brownfields Revitalization Act was passed to help states and communities around the country clean up and revitalize brownfields sites. Under this law, EPA provides financial assistance to eligible applicants through four competitive grant programs: assessment grants, revolving loan fund grants, cleanup grants, and job training grants. Additionally, funding support is provided to state and tribal response programs through a separate mechanism.
Since the inception of the EPA's Brownfields program in 1995, cumulative brownfield program investments have leveraged more than $21 billion from a variety of public and private sources for cleanup and redevelopment activities. This equates to an average of $17.79 leveraged per EPA brownfield dollar expended. These investments have resulted in approximately 93,000 jobs nationwide. These projects demonstrate the positive impact a small investment of federal brownfields funding can have on community revitalization through leveraging jobs, producing clean energy, and providing recreation opportunities for surrounding neighborhoods. EPA's Brownfields Program empowers states, communities, and other stakeholders to work together to prevent, assess, safely clean up, and sustainably reuse brownfields sites.

Stories. Not noise.
Let's get straight to the good stuffPlay showreel
We wholeheartedly believe the best work comes from collaboration.
From client partners with the vision to do remarkable things. From the incredible talent of creatives and from an agency that knows how to make it all happen. Combine each of these, and you have work that's authentic, meaningful and effective.
For us, coming at a problem as one is the difference between good and great, between mediocrity and changing the game. Your result is our result too. Like our name suggests, this is the start of a great friendship – so let's create remarkable together.
We are Monami.
Remarkable work is always based on a truth, so that's where we start for everything; the idea, the execution and the place we tell it. We make it relevant and when you don't do that, ordinary creeps in.
We've come from a background in film production, tech, strategy, creativity and innovation – so traditional thinking isn't a natural solution – and we'd hate for it to ever be. When it comes to doing this properly, we have a team in Helsinki with a network of creative collaborators around the world. For us, it's about the right talent for the job.
Let's do remarkable together.

Babies go through many diapers every day during their first years of life, making it important that you're always stocked up on the essentials for diapering. CVS can help you get everything you need to keep your little one clean and dry. You can shop a huge selection of diapers, baby wipes and diaper rash cream available for great prices online and in stores.
Diapers must fit properly to prevent leaks and ensure that little ones stay comfortable. Sizing is based on weight, and each brand has its own sizing system. The online product descriptions provide sizing information to help you shop.
At CVS, you'll find many types of diapers with something for every need. Traditional disposable diapers are a convenient option preferred by many parents. Green-minded moms and dads may opt for absorbent inserts. These diapers consist of a washable cover and a disposable, biodegradable liner. For toddlers, training pants that look and fit like underwear can assist with potty training.
Wipes simplify diaper changes, allowing you to quickly clean up your little one. The moistened towelettes can be thrown away after a single use, so there is no laundry to worry about. CVS carries wipes in different types of packaging from small, soft packs that are perfect to travel to large tubs for home use.

What if an Oscar went to Best Scene?
Those gathered for last night's Oscar Salon chat at the Denver FilmCenter/Colfax thought a fresh Oscar category could be "Best Scene." (Cause, really, the show's not long enough.) Though Mad Moviegoer has more in her back pocket, her pick came from "The Descendants," when Matt King (George Clooney) has a late night chat with his daughter's seemingly boneheaded friend Sid (Nick Krause). Hey, not so boneheaded after all.
Do you have a scene that stands out from last year's movies? Doesn't have to be from an Oscar-nominated film just something that rocked, roiled or rattled you.

Homes with a view
Treehouses appeal to the child in all of us and bring us closer to nature. At one point you probably dreamed of living among the birds in a house nestled on the leafy branches of a towering tree. Whether these structures are tiny shacks clinging to a single bough, unique treetop observatories or sprawling works of art spanning several trees, there's something magical about treehouses, the like the Temple of the Blue Moon treehouse (pictured). Here's a look at 18 of the world's most stunning treetop structures and the unique stories behind them.

Westmoreland County Genealogy, Wills, Estates, Marriages, Deeds
Westmoreland County Virginia was formed in 1653 from Northumberland County. The county seat is Montross, Virginia. Some well-remembered residents of the county were President George Washington, President James Monroe and Robert E. Lee as well as Robert Carter, Henry Lee, Richard Lee, Daniel McCarty, George Turbeville and John Turbeville.
A bloody naval battle occurred on July 14 1813 at the mouth of the Yeocomico River when a British force with a five-to-one advantage attacked an American vessel, leaving no survivors.

How'd They Do That? Keith Loutit's "Metal Heart"
Welcome to "How'd They Do That?" a new series where we ask accomplished video-makers to reveal the secrets, techniques, inspiration and fun facts behind their videos.
Our first subject is "Metal Heart," a monster truck romp that's still an undiscovered gem. We caught up with the video's creator, Keith Loutit, while he was on location in Italy shooting an ad campaign and asked him just how he created such cool effects.
Who are you?
I am a photographer and film-maker based in Sydney, Australia. I initially developed the tilt-shift / timelapse technique to present Sydney in a new way, and help people to see their surroundings as if for the first time, through the eyes of a child. In the short term, I am releasing these films in a music video format, but I plan to consolidate the highlights into a single short film to conclude the project.
What gave you the idea to make "Metal Heart"?
"Metal Heart" was a break from my Sydney project and was a proof of concept for me to see what was possible with the technique and shoot a subject that is perfectly suited to the style. "Metal Heart" was the first time I had attempted to shoot a live event in this style, and it was also the first time I'd attempted to capture fast moving subjects using timelapse.
How many hours did it take you?
The film was shot during a three-hour monster truck event in Brisbane, Australia, and comprised around 20,000 still images which were later converted to footage that could be edited.
What special techniques did you use?
The two techniques that are combined in this film are selective focus, which creates the illusion of miniaturization by simulating the shallow depth of field that is common when viewing / photographing small things, and timelapse, which allows me to speed up action to simulate the movement of toys animated via stop motion (claymation).
Tell us a fact about this video that no one would know by looking at it.
That it's real :D.

What's in a Name?
The word 'chroma' can mean either intensity of colour or freedom from white. It is the second definition that inspired choreographer Wayne McGregor and designer John Pawson. Against an expansive, stark white set, the movements and contortions, groupings and colours of the dancers' bodies in Chroma are strikingly highlighted and exposed.
A Musical Fragment
Joby Talbot's music for Chroma was inspired by a short musical fragment he discovered on his dictaphone late one night. From this was born a dynamic orchestral fanfare, Hovercraft, which composer and choreographer used as the basis for an electrifying score. Arrangements of Talbot's own short pieces are woven together with his orchestrations of music by American rock band The White Stripes.
Introducing David Dawson…
Former Royal Ballet School pupil David Dawson is one of Europe's most sought-after choreographers. His works have been performed in more than 25 countries and have entered the repertories of many ballet companies. He is admired for his atmospheric and emotionally resonant choreography that draws on classical ballet idioms.
A New Ballet in the Making
In his first work for The Royal Ballet, Dawson has joined forces with two regular collaborators: set designer Eno Henze, whose work is often inspired by scientific and philosophical concepts, and costume designer Yumiko Takeshima, who is also a principal dancer with Semperoper Ballet. The specially commissioned score is written and performed live by electronic/post-classical artist Greg Haines.
A Centenary Celebration
The 1913 premiere of The Rite of Spring in Paris provoked outrage, pushing its audience to the verge of rioting. In the century since that incendiary first performance Stravinsky's explosive, driven score has lost none of its power to shock, and has inspired numerous ballets. Kenneth MacMillan's 1962 Rite is the powerful version performed by The Royal Ballet today.
The Chosen Ones
MacMillan created the role of the Chosen Maiden – the sacrificial virgin who must dance herself to death – on Monica Mason, then 20 years old. He had selected her for the part after seeing her unrestrained dancing at a disco. Since then the role, which demands extraordinary stamina, has been taken on by both male and female dancers.
Chroma/New Wayne McGregor/Carbon Life runs 10–19 November 2016. Tickets are currently available.
The Human Seasons / After the Rain / Flight Pattern runs 16–24 March 2017. Tickets are still available.

This won't help the GOP's tax cut message: U.S. companies are using the benefits of their tax cuts to reward shareholders and management far more than they are on hiring and pay raises, according to TrimTabs, a market research firm.
American companies committed $305 billion to stock buybacks and cash-fueled merger deals in the first quarter of 2018, more than double the $131 billion they put toward pre-tax wage growth for workers, TrimTabs says. Those quarterly numbers translate to an annual spend of $1.22 trillion on mergers and buybacks. "Companies are highly unlikely to spend anywhere near $1.22 trillion hiring and paying existing workers more this year," TrimTabs said in a release. It added that pre-tax wages for newly hired and existing workers increased an average of $450 billion a year over the five years.
The new numbers also continue an existing trend of companies spending much more of their cash on buybacks and takeovers, which TrimTabs notes tend to disproportionately boost the compensation of top managers, than on hiring and wages. From 2013 through 2017, companies committed $4.9 trillion to cash deals and share buybacks compared with $2.3 trillion to wage increases.
The bottom line, according to TrimTabs: "The recently enacted corporate tax cut is likely to deliver far more benefits to top management and investors than to typical American households."

Yeah, iPod speaker docks are a dime-a-dozen, but Pioneer's new XW-NAS3 and XW-NAS5 seem a little better than most. The 2.1 speakers have a digital amp, built-in downfiring subwoofer, and an optional Bluetooth adapter lets them stream music wirelessly.
Bluetooth being built-in would be nicer, but still, not having to connect to your iPhone 3GS or iPod touch 2G (or other Bluetooth device) is kinda neat.
The XW-NAS5 (pictured top) also has auto track volume leveling, an "Advanced Sound Retriever" to improve compressed music, built-in radio, and a hippy ambient sound generator to sooth you to sleep.
We don't know pricing yet, but the speakers are slated to arrive this Winter. The basic XW-NAS3 will only be white, while the S5 will have a few different colors, including red and black. [Pioneer]

Saying goodbye is a fun game for Ky. He crawls over to the door, laughs, waves his hand and smiles as either Dylan or I leave the house.He even shuts the door after we leave. At this stage Ky is happy with either of us, and does not seem upset. While we try and make it fun for him, it's still hard on me. I just can't leave my sweet little boy!
I took these pictures in the soft light (Photo Friday) the other night as Dylan was leaving for musical practice.

MelissaStone brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 132 Designs von 12 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We are a five year old independent company looking for a facelift. We have operated under the name Stone and Cobble LLC, and are in need of a recognizable, simple logo to be used on all of our business operations, ie. letterheads, business cards, yard signs ect. Our current business card is using a photo from a signature rock design that is common in our stone mason's construction. It does'nt really work for everything that we need because it is'nt really a "logo" and the colors are black and white and just not vibrant enough.
Stone and Cobble LLC
We need a recognizable logo for our Indepenent landscaping stone work company. One that can be used for lawn signs, t-shirts, our business cards and web-site. We focus on sustainable, natural stone scapes in the Willamette Valley, Oregon although are also proficient in paving stone and cultured stone construction.
- Item 1...We are entirely open to the artists ideas and creations. Our current business card is black and white with a red border and although we like the red border the interior is washed out with the black and white. We like the idea of having stones be part of the design, as well as maybe water. Please view the web-site at stoneandcobble.com and take a look at the egg shaped fountain. I am wondering if something can be made from that.
- Item 1.
- I can't really think of things we don't want...

We've been doing a lot of cosplay in the 'Shop Contest lately, but Gary, King of Nintendo 64, is too obvious a royal subject to pass up this week.
I really shouldn't have to make any suggestions when you're dealing with a guy who has a suit of armor made from at least three Nintendo 64s, plus at least a couple dozen cartridges. And I'm sure you're already scheming something up, so let's just get right to it.
Source Image: Gary, King of Nintendo 64.
Reminder: There's a new forum for 'Shop Contest submissions that will display them in the chronological order familiar to the contest under our old comments format. I've gone ahead and set up the forum with one of our patented Kotaku block arrows showing you where this week's submissions begin. When I judge the entries for the roundup I'll close it out with another arrow later in the week.
Because of this, comments are disabled in this post to avoid confusion. You must visit the 'Shop Contest Forum to participate After you create your 'Shop, you'll need to post it there. Here are the rest of the guidelines for doing so.
1. Go to the 'Shop Contest Forum
2. Click "Add Image" in the upper right above the comment window.
3. Click "Upload an Image Instead." Then click the "Choose File" button. Browse your desktop, find the image, and click "open."
4. If you prefer, you can upload the 'Shop to a free image hosting service. I suggest imgur. Then click "Add image" in the upper right above the comment window. Paste the image URL into the field that says "Image URL."
5. You can add editorial commentary if you want, but then just hit submit and your image will load. If it doesn't, paste the image URL as a comment.
6. This is important: Keep your image size under 1 MB. If you're still having trouble uploading the image, try to keep its longest dimension (horizontal or vertical) under 1000 pixels.
All set? Great. Now, Gentlemen, start your 'shopping!

There's a new way to play popular multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends today, as Riot Games goes live with its brand-new Dominion game mode.
Dominion takes the more traditional Defense of the Ancients-inspired gameplay and twists it into a shape first-person shooter fans are sure to find comfortable and familiar. It's a game of capture and hold, with two teams fighting over five control points. The team controlling fewer points at any given time will sustain constant damage to their Nexus, until it explodes and the round ends.
Check out the video to see what's new in this faster, more accessible addition to League of Legends, and then hit up the game's official website to try it out for yourself.
You can contact Michael Fahey, the author of this post, at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also find him on Twitter, Facebook, and lurking around our #tips page.
