I arrived late Saturday evening about 5:30 pm. It was already getting dark and Babs Johnson met me. It was getting cold too. Mike Auberger and Babs got me in the van and took me to the hotel where I shared a room with 3 other guys that were there for the same purpose. One of my roommates name was Shel Trapp. He was a very interesting man with a very baldhead that contained a lot of knowledge and understanding of the goal we were there to achieve.
We woke up the next morning early to freezing Cincinnati. We met in the hotel conference room to go over the agenda for the day and have breakfast. I chose to pass on breakfast because I was so excited to begin our protest. This was my first ADAPT National Action. I had flown from Utah by myself for it.
My favorite part of the action was when ADAPT ran circles around the hotel until the cops put up metal barricades. Every time I went around I hit their barricades and "oinked" like a pig. I wanted them to be aware of me. They might not have understood other things I was saying, but they sure understood "oink".
I was asked if I was willing to get arrested blocking cars. I was! I was ready and excited to get arrested. I had made up my mind before I left Utah that I would get arrested! After my arrest, the Judge let me go; me and other people he couldn't understand. I told the Judge to "Fuck Off" a couple of times. That he understood. I know he understood, I said it loud enough and everyone else in the courtroom understood. Looking back, I don't know why the Judge didn't charge me with contempt.
People were still in jail when we hung the big wooden cross with a wheelchair on it. I was right next to it and thought it was cool. I was not offended, I thought it was a good idea I knew it would get people's attention. The chair represented people being crucified in nursing homes and dying there. People passing by didn't understand initially and were offended. They were offended but it made them think and that was the whole point.
The last day of the action I got my picture taken and was in the newspaper. The picture showed two cops trying to stop me. They tried sticking a nightstick between my wheels, and that worked for a little bit, but then Wade came to my rescue. Being the big man that he was, he told the cops something that made them remove the nightstick. I don't remember what he said, just that the cops listened to him. Then a lady cop got in my way and I tried to go around her. I finally said to hell with it and went forward. Before I knew it I felt her foot under my wheels. I think I made a mistake; I didn't mean to hit her, I just wanted to get by her.
I told Wade on the last day that I wanted go on more actions with him and right then I decided someday I would move to Denver. It took me ten years to make up my mind but now I live in Denver and I am a homeowner. I live a happy life; not perfect but it's getting there.

What is the Potomac Primary?
When Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC hold primaries on the same day, it is known as the Potomac Primary. Other states in the region may participate in a primary at the same time as well. This primary is sometimes viewed as important in the Presidential race, and it often attracts a great deal of public attention and discussion. It typically falls several weeks after Super Tuesday, the day when a huge group of very disparate American states hold primaries.
For candidates, the Potomac Primary can be a welcome shift after the madness of Super Tuesday. The Super Tuesday primaries require candidates to rapidly travel all over the United States if they want to hold rallies and other events to drum up support. Because the Potomac Primary is held in a group of neighboring states, candidates do not have to deal with grueling travel arrangements, and they can hit more spots in each individual state because the Washington, DC area is relatively small.
Many people have noted that the citizens of Washington, DC, tend to be very politically active, perhaps because this city houses the capital of the United States. In any case, election turnouts in this region are sometimes very good, and it is common for people to get very involved with political campaigns they care about. If a candidate can sweep the Potomac Primary as Barack Obama did in 2008, it can strengthen his or her campaign and political position.
A combined strong performance during the Super Tuesday primaries and the Potomac Primary can sometimes carry the nomination for a political candidate. Even if a candidate doesn't have the nomination sealed up, the Potomac Primary can establish a clear front runner in advance of primaries held in the coming weeks and months. This gives voters a chance to carefully research the candidates, making a decision on the basis of performance in prior primaries and the candidate's record.
Because this region is very active politically, the Potomac Primary can also be a bit of a bellwether to determine how candidates stand up under close scrutiny and analysis. The Washington, DC area also has a very large African American population, and the African American vote is often heavily courted, especially by Democratic candidates. A weak performance in the Potomac Primary can suggest that a candidate may not be able to carry the African American vote in other parts of the country, raising concerns about electability.

How Light Can Be Used in Photography – PictureCorrect: "Photography cannot exist without light. From the beginning of photography, the only element that had to be present for photography to exist was light, and this is still true today. Use of light in photography needs to be understood to make photos stand out from your everyday snapshot. One needs to know how the position of light will make or break the photo."

Engineering licensure
Only one thing is better than being an engineer. Being a professional engineer (P.E.).
Clean water. Sound structures. Safe power. P.E.s are charged with preserving these and many more fundamentals that protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. Earn your license and join the community of professionals committed to excellence.
Licensure sets you apart
Licensed engineers enjoy many benefits that are not available to unlicensed engineers such as
"P.E." instantly says you're experienced, knowledgeable, and accountable.
Engineering positions at all levels of industry and government increasingly require licensure.
As a P.E., you can consult in private practice. Without it, you don't have the same opportunities.
Earning your P.E. license in one state allows you to more easily apply for licensure in other states—a process known as comity licensure.
Salary studies show that as a P.E., you can expect to earn significantly more throughout your career.
How to become a P.E.
In the United States, engineers are licensed at the state level by professional licensing boards when they meet a combination of requirements in education, exams, and experience. Most state licensing boards require the following:
Generally, engineering licensing boards require P.E. candidates to have an EAC/ABET-accredited bachelor's degree. The ABET website allows you to search for accredited programs (select EAC in the "accredited by" field).
Licensure candidates must pass the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam and the Principles and Practice of Engineering (PE) exam.
Most states require four years of acceptable, progressive, and verifiable work experience in the industry.

Logos and Power in Isocrates and Aristotle
Ekaterina V. Haskins
A provocative reconsideration of two competing classical approaches to discourse, politics, and education
As one of the founding philosophers of the Western tradition, Aristotle raised many of the issues that still animate scholarly debates in the humanities. By contrast Isocrates, despite his considerable reputation in antiquity and the Renaissance as an educator, became a marginal figure in the intellectual history of the West. Logos and Power in Isocrates and Aristotle presents Isocrates' vision of discourse as a worthy rival, rather than a mere precursor, of Aristotle's Rhetoric. Casting Isocrates and Aristotle as opponents in a debate over the character, resources, and ends of rhetorical education, Ekaterina V. Haskins argues that much of what Aristotle had to say about the status of rhetoric and the role of discourse in the life of a Greek city-state may have been an implicit reaction to Isocrates. Haskins finds that Isocrates offers a more comprehensive and culturally attuned theory of civic discourse and education than does Aristotle, whose intellectual project disengages moral philosophy from the contingencies of public culture and introduces rhetoric merely as an art serviceable to a philosophically trained statesman. Haskins terms Isocrates' approach to discourse "constitutive" and Aristotle's "instrumental" and shows how the former is more congenial to the goals of contemporary rhetorical theory and pedagogy.
Ekaterina V. Haskins is an associate professor in the Department of Language, Literature, and Communication at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, New York. Her research on classical and contemporary rhetoric has appeared in the Quarterly Journal of Speech, the Rhetoric Society Quarterly, the Journal of Communication Inquiry, Philosophy and Rhetoric, History and Memory, Space and Culture, and in a number of edited collections.
"Haskins' elegant and original book will reward readers with insight into the relation between Isocrates and Aristotle, and into the political and pedagogical implications of their positions. It is a great step forward for the Isocratean revival."—Rhetoric Society Quarterly
"Against a background of neglect and misconception, Haskins clarifies and complicates Isocrates' legacy to Western culture: clarifies by describing what it was and what it still can be; complicates by asking us to consider previously unexamined issues. In particular, she focuses attention on such important concerns as performance, agency, and the methods we use to study them…. Following Isocrates, Haskins reminds us that we must practice what we preach by studying the history of rhetoric holistically—that is, in integrative and intertextual ways, and as part of ongoing academic debates, which inform civic and educational practices."—Rhetorical Review
"The main strength of Haskins' argument is her resurrection of Isocratean rhetoric from the shadow of Aristotle's codified dominance. Haskins provides considerable evidence for rethinking the importance of Isocrates' understanding of rhetoric."—Polis: The Journal of the Society for Greek Political Thought

CommentAdd a Comment
This was a great book playing on the ancient greek themes of the past. I do believe adults and even men would love this book, as I did.
Romance, fantasy, intrigue - this book has a little of everything! It is a modern day retelling of Greek mythology, set on the small island Nantucket. What's even better? It is a trilogy.
I really enjoyed this book. It references the Trojan way by bringing in the reincarnation of characters Like Helen of Troy and Paris. It made me want to read the Iliad and the Odyssey just for more context!
This book is good, but there are still a lot of minor flaws. Like, the author should really come up with a better reason to keep Helen and Lucas away from each other. The sibling thing is not very original; the Mortal Instruments uses it too! And I find it really weird that Helen won't physically hurt someone or beat them up, but she'll use lightning to electrify them instead? Plus, the author makes it all a little too predictable. I could totally tell that something would happen with Claire aka Giggles and one of Lucas' relatives. I won't spoil who it is. Despite that, I would still recommend reading this trilogy.
Best book I've ever read!! Way to go Angelini!
I really liked this book ,especially since it is in my favorite genre. I think many people will fall in love with this series; only if you like fights and love combinations . I really recommend this book to everyone .
Best book I have ever read !!!
I enjoyed this book right up until the end. It is similar to Rick Riordan's series about Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Just a lot more romance focused.
This is the best book ever!! a great read for anyone who loves mythology, modern day, and romance.

Good UV/VIS Practice™
What is UV Vis Spectroscopy?
UV Vis Spectroscopy is a simple and commonly used technique based on the absorption of light in a given sample. Depending on the amount of light and wavelength absorbed by the sample, valuable information can be obtained, such as the concentration or purity of a sample, for example in the caffeine spectrum below. In addition, because each substance absorbs light in a different way, a unique and specific relationship exists between the substance and its UV Vis spectrum. Spectrophotometry can then be used to identify a substance.
How does a UV Vis spectrophotometer work?
A UV Vis Spectrophotometer measures the intensity of light passing through a sample solution in a cuvette and compares it to the intensity of light before it passes through the sample. The main components of a UV Vis spectrophotometer are a light source, sample holder, dispersive device to separate the different wavelengths of the light, and a suitable detector, for example a photo diode detector.
Why are UV Vis spectra measured?
There are five main reasons UV Vis spectra are measured:
- UV Vis spectra identify components present in a sample solution. More precisely, the peak position, and to some extent the spectrum profile, allows for the identification of specific compounds.
- Absorption peaks can be used to quantify the investigated sample. For example, the sample concentration can be calculated from the absorbance value of the peak.
- Based on the relationship between absorbance and sample concentration, a UV Vis Spectrophotometer is used for quantitative analytical techniques in market segments such as Biotech, Pharma, Cosmetics, Food and Beverages, Chemical and Water Testing.
- The spectrum may reveal specific physical properties of the sample molecules and makes it possible to calculate the extinction coefficient of the sample, calculate the melting point of proteins and nucleic acids by measuring the UV Vis spectra at different temperatures, and determine the rate of a reaction by monitoring the absorption spectra as a function of time.
- The position and profile of the peaks in the spectrum can give information about the microscopic environment of the sample molecules.
What are the applications of a UV Vis Spectrophotometer?
- The fixed wavelength is the simplest application of a spectrophotometer. It is a single or multiple wavelength measurement and the result can be reported in absorbance or transmittance.
- The quantification or concentration determination of a substance by a UV Vis Spectrophotometer is based on the Lambert-Beer Law, which states that the absorbance of a solution is directly proportional to the concentration of the absorbing substance in the solution and the path length of the cuvette. Thus, a UV Vis Spectrophotometer can be used to determine the concentration of a sample.
- Spectral scanning measurements determine the absorbance or transmittance of a sample over a specified wavelength range or over the full spectrum range, typically from 190 to 1100 nm. The most common analysis afterwards is the detection of peaks and valleys.
- A UV Vis Spectrophotometer is often used in order to monitor the change of the concentration of either the reactant or the product by measuring the absorbance at a specific wavelength over time. These kinetic methods are often used to study enzymatic reaction rates or to determine the concentration of specific carbohydrates such as glucose, fructose or lactose.
What is the difference between a scanning and an array spectrophotometer?
- A scanning spectrophotometer measures each wavelength separately, and therefore takes a significantly longer time. An array spectrophotometer measures the full spectrum in a short amount of time, as all wavelengths are measured by the array detector.
- A scanning spectrophotometer scans the spectrum with mechanically rotating elements. This can lead to errors in the wavelength reproducibility. A scanning spectroscopy instrument therefore requires a regular re-calibration to guarantee wavelength accuracy. An array spectrophotometer does not include any moving optical parts, which means performance deviations over time due to mechanical imprecisions do not occur.
- An array spectrophotometer does not require a closed sample compartment because it is immune to ambient light due to its optical design.
In which industry segments is a UV Vis Spectrophotometer used?
Our spectrophotometry portfolio has been designed to fit in several industry segments:
- The UV5Bio and UV5Nano Spectrophotometers are typically used in Pharmaceutical, Life Science, Biotech, and Academia.
- The UV7 and UV5 Spectrophotometers are typically used in Pharma, Food&Beverage, Chemical, Cosmetic, Petro, and Academia.
What is a micro-volume spectrophotometer?
A micro-volume spectrophotometer performs measurements using small volumes of sample (as low as 1 microliter). Highly concentrated samples can also be measured without further dilution due to LockPath technology on the METTLER TOLEDO UV5Nano, which can set the path length at either 0.1 or 1 mm.
What Life Science Applications are available on a METTLER-TOLEDO spectrophotometer?
- The METTLER TOLEDO UV5Nano and UV5Bio Spectrophotometers offer a large collection of Life Science applications, such as:
- Qualitative analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins
- Quantitative analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins
- BCA, Bradford, Lowry and other colorimetric protein assays
- Pre-configured dyes and option to add custom dyes
- Oligo calculator for the concentration determination of DNA and RNA oligos
- OD600 for live cells
- Qualitative analysis of DNA, RNA and proteins
- Additionally, the UV5Bio and UV7 Spectrophotometers offer kinetics methods for carrying out enzyme kinetics
- For more information on Life Science applications with METTLER TOLEDO spectrophotometers download the Life Science toolbox.
How do I check that my spectrophotometer is working accurately and according to Pharmacopeia standards?
METTLER TOLEDO offer a solution to performance verification in the form of the CertiRef™ unit, which is the most efficient way to check whether your spectrophotometer is working according to pharmacopeia regulation. This accessory automatically performs tests for wavelength accuracy and repeatability, photometric accuracy and repeatability, resolution, stray light, photometric noise and drift, as well as baseline flatness.
How does my spectrophotometer benefit from LabX® UV Vis software?
METTLER TOLEDO LabX software enables users to have higher flexibility by creating custom workflows exactly for the user's needs. Calculation and transcription errors are completely avoided. It also ensures data integrity with all information safely stored in a secure database, including all performance verifications and services. With security features such as electronic signatures and user management, it assists to comply with 21 CFR part 11 regulations from the FDA.

There are obvious benefits of skylights being installed in your home that many people probably already know. Benefits such as reduced energy use and bringing additional lighting in the darker areas of a building or home are two of the most common.
However, there are more benefits that many are probably not aware of.
Energy Savings with Sun Tunnels and Skylights
I know, you already know that you can save on your energy bill by using these simple, yet effective, upgrades to your home or office. But, do you know that when you compare an incandescent light to a 14-inch sun tunnel, the sun tunnel produces the same amount of light as that of a 461 watt bulb? If you think a 14-inch sun tunnel is too big, a 10-inch sun tunnel will produce no less than 100 watts of light, even on cloudy days. Imagine the difference installing a skylight or sun tunnel in those dark areas of your home, office, or warehouse can make. Increased productivity, a better work environment and higher moral for starters.
Health Benefits of Skylights
Besides being healthier on your wallet, skylights and sun tunnels can also help with your physical and mental health when installed in your home. Allowing for more sunlight to enter your home, which is source of vitamin D, can improve your mood. Additionally, sunlight is believed to release the hormone serotonin, which can further increase your mood, as well as helping you to remain focused and feel calmer. Without enough sunlight, the serotonin levels in your body can dip, increasing the risk of low energy and increase the possibility of suffering from seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, which is a form of depression that is often times triggered by the changing of the seasons. Installing skylights or sun tunnels in your home can allow more of the healthy sun light in, therefore increasing your mood and health, while decreasing your risks.
Contact us today to find out more about the benefits skylights and sun tunnels can bring to your home or office. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Along with maybe-office-friendly blazer vests, another hot trend we've spotted on the spring 2014 runways: flat shoes. (Don't tell high-heel-loving Victoria Beckham, OK?) YES, some of the hottest and edgiest designers at NYFW showed us that flats don't have to be practical and snoozy. Let's take a look:
The cool kids at Creatures of the Wind sent these zip-detailed and lipstick-red pointy loafers down the runway. Look closely for the bedazzled heel, which makes the shoe an inspired complement to a tea-length cocktail dress.
Costello Tagliapetra debuted their Brooklyn update to the luxurious leather Grecian sandal and paired the style with casual tailored separates and long, flowing gowns.
Ruffian doubled up on fun details with their pointy flats: polka dots and fringe. Aren't they adorable?
Y-3 made the boat shoe decidedly less preppy and more interesting with rainbow tie-dyed uppers and a sporty athletic sole.
Boy by Band of Outsiders recalled the '90s by pairing socks with flat sandals on the runway. Off the runway, the socks are up to you, but the wide-ankle-strap lace-up style would be so versatile with shorts or a dress.
Speaking of the grunge era, we all know that Birkenstocks are back. Trina Turk debuted her line of shoes with her rock-luxe take on the Arizona—with metallic leather, grommets, and round studs.
Are you happy that flats are hot for spring? Or do you always wear them anyway?

Visit the San Francisco Decorator Showcase18 May 2018
The Hakwood flooring in the Decorator Showcase proved the perfect base for five very different rooms. As one of the designers, Gretchen Murdock from MODtage, puts it: "Hakwood's European Oak has a beautiful, clean and modern aesthetic that works well to provide a backdrop to any space."
Unique stamp
Each designer we worked with put a unique stamp on their room. Visiting the house is like reading a collection of short stories: each one has its own distinct atmosphere, but they're still different pieces of the same puzzle. Lane McNab's 'transportative room' is one of the spaces that connects the rooms: "I approached it not only as a pass-through but as a room that transports your mood through mixing elements--wood, earth, air and even the vine-like pendants--to give you an experience on its own as you move through it to your destination. I love the mix of lights and wallpaper and lighter wood on the walls with the gorgeous dark wood on the floors."
Take it in
The San Francisco Decorator Showcase is open to visitors until May 28. If you are in the San Francisco area, we encourage you to visit and discover our flooring.

Tiger Radler for Double Refreshment08:38:00
Sorry for the hiatus because I've been so busy recently and just back from company trip in Singapore. My last Friday Night was ended awesomely along with the launch of Tiger Radler at KL Live.
Tiger Radler is an all-new variant of Tiger Beer that combines the crisp and easy-drinking taste of Tiger Beer with natural lemon juice that is doubly refreshing. It contains only 2% of alcohol and doesn't taste bitter as other Tiger Beers.
Malaysia and Singapore are the first two countries in Southeast Asia to introduce Tiger Radler, although Radler has already been a massive hit in Europe over the past few months. I can ensure you the taste of this Tiger Beer sure tickles your taste bud. Unlike the usual beers, Tiger Radler gives a sweet taste like a mixture of soda drink with Tiger Beer.
With a refreshing mix of Tiger Beer and natural lemon juice, Tiger Radler is set to be the perfect drink for most of the drinking occasion with family or friends. If you would like to have light drinking session, you can now have the option of getting Tiger Radler and enjoy this refreshing mix of beer.
The Tiger Radler launch event featured local comedian, bands and DJ to provide an unforgettable night for the guests.
The night started with jokes by Andrew Netto, a local comedian. He was also the guest for the opening act in Russell Peter's performance in Malaysia.
One Buck Short performed punk rock songs on stage.
Band Kyoto Protocol with their rock songs.
The stage was took over by DJ. Major (I am pretty sure this is written as MaJor) and the night was rocked on with his musics.
Tiger Radler will be available in pubs, bars, restaurants and coffee shops across the country from December 2013 onward, as well as East Malaysia by March 2014.

2161 Pram Message for inaccessible storage device -- fixable?
February 19, 2014 10:51 AM Subscribe
My Data Traveller has become inaccessible showing up only in my devices and printers window as 2261 Pram, a new term for me. Placing the memory stick in other USB ports not helping and location G:\ seems impenetrable and unchain able as does everything on my storage device. Is there any chance the data is recoverable or has it died on me for good? I usually can fix and recover my own files -- until now...
Try downloading the Ultimate Boot CD. Then boot your computer using it. There is a chance it will see the the drive right away and you just need to copy the data to another drive. If the file table is hosed, it has utilities that can help you recover files, although the names will be lost.

Summertime in Michigan means driving to the nearest lake shore with your loved ones and spending the day on the coast. The doctors on our team are no different than you; they love the sand between their toes, wearing cool shades, and hanging out with their favorite people.
Whether you prefer "glamping" or setting up camp in the middle of the forest, our Michigan summer getaways have a little something for everyone. Check out our expert doctors' favorite places to go in the summer:
If you want to be surrounded by clear blue water (and, let's be honest, who wouldn't want that?) then Charlevoix is the getaway for you. With Lake Charlevoix, Round Lake, and Lake Michigan all nearby, there is never a shortage of water activities. Shop downtown boutiques and try local restaurants after a long day in the water. Charlevoix has a great mix of outdoor fun and city life.
Isle Royale National Park, Lake Superior
Isle Royale is the place to go when you want to get off the grid and be one with nature. This national park is a remote island positioned right near the Canadian border. The island has no cars and lots of green scenery, which makes it perfect for hiking or jogging. Explore the Greenstone Ridge Trail that links the island's east and west sides or visit the Rock Harbor lighthouse.
Bad Axe
Set up camp in the thumb when you visit Bad Axe. This small town is just a quick drive from Lake Huron or Saginaw Bay. Like Charlevoix, Bad Axe has a great balance of outdoor exploration and downtown entertainment. If you don't want to camp, Bad Axe also has options for the glamper on your trip, including everything from cabins to hotels.
Silver Lake Sand Dunes
If you are a fan of fast-paced adventure, buckle up and race over to Silver Lake Sand Dunes. With over 2,000 acres of dunes on Lake Michigan and Silver Lake, you'll have plenty of room to walk or ride the dunes. Bring your own off-the-road vehicles or rent a dune buggy from a local business, and then get out there.
Where will your summer adventure take you? Stop in, tell us about it, and grab some sunglasses to protect your vision! With over 50 locations statewide, we're never too far away.

Nearly nine feet tall, largest shark jaws set ever assembled offered in June at Heritage Auctions
Fossil hunter Vito Bertucci spent lifetime seeking fragments of 90-foot long prehistoric predator Megalodon sharks to assemble the massive jaws; died while diving for teeth in Georgia
DALLAS, TX — The largest set of prehistoric shark jaws ever assembled, measuring 11 feet across and almost nine feet tall, is estimated to sell for $700,000 or more in Heritage Auctions' Signature® Natural History Auction on June 12. It took famed fossil hunter Vito "Megalodon" Bertucci almost 20 years to find fragments of the ferocious Megalodon shark in the rivers of South Carolina, and 16 years to assemble the massive jaw.
Bertucci, of Port Royal, South Carolina, died in 2004 in Georgia while diving for prehistoric shark's teeth.
"This was Vito's legacy," said his brother, Joey Bertucci, who consigned the huge jaw set to the auction. "He loved it. He dragged it around everywhere. This was something he just had a vision to do, and it took him a lifetime of collecting to be able to build it."
Megalodon was the largest predator that ever existed on Earth, measuring 60 feet in length or more.
"The Megalodon was a shark that grew to the length of two city buses and preyed on whales and other sharks," said David Herskowitz, Director of Natural History Auctions at Heritage. "With jaws that size, and a hugely voracious appetite, you or I would be no more than an hors d'oeuvre for this monster."
The jaw set is composed of 182 fossil teeth, some over seven inches long, displayed in a composite mold. It is currently on display at the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science and will remain there until it is moved nearby to the auction venue in Fair Park in early June.
The majority of the teeth in this specimen were personally collected by Vito Bertucci in the rivers of South Carolina, who spent more than 20 years finding the exact right teeth for this amazing fossil. Examples of Bertucci's work are on display in the American Museum of Natural History, the Houston Museum and the Baltimore Aquarium and have been featured in National Geographic World magazine and on the National Geographic Channel. He opened and operated a shark museum in Port Royal, South Carolina before passing away in October of 2004 while diving for Shark Teeth in South Carolina.
The first descriptions of Megalodon teeth originated in the Renaissance period of Europe, with the teeth being interpreted as the petrified tongues of dragons and snakes; called glossopetrae. In 1667, Danish naturalist Nicolaus Steno recognized them as shark teeth and mentioned them in his texts. Swiss naturalist Louis Agassiz named the fossil shark Carcharodon megalodon in 1835. The species megalodon meant "big tooth" in Greek, while the species was placed in the Carcharadon genus based on the similarity of the teeth to those of the Great White shark.
Megalodon ruled the temperate and warm waters of all the oceans between 25 and 1.5 million years ago. They hunted in a variety of environments including coastal zones, lagoons, and deep water. Megalodon teeth have been found on every continent with the exception of Antarctica and have even been found in the Mariana trench. Several fossil sites including the Calvert Formation of Maryland and the Bone Valley Formation of Florida represent nursery sites where live young were born in safe and prey-rich waters.
The maximum size of the Megalodon has been of much debate; cartilage rarely fossilizes and therefore no complete shark has ever been found. However, near-complete sets of dentitions have been found, which allows for accurate reconstructions of large jaws. Based on the larger sizes of teeth that have been found, the largest Megalodons were likely greater than 60 feet in length, with possible giants growing over 90 feet long.
After more than 20 million years of dominance, Megalodon went extinct around 1.5 million years ago during the Pleistocene. A combination of cooling sea temperatures and a reduction in the number of prey species contributed to the Megalodon's extinction.
The jaws are part of what is sure to be an unprecedented happening in the annals of Natural History auctions, as the June 12 event also features no less than four dinosaur skeletons - "The Fighting Pair" Allosaurus and Stegosaurus, a near complete Triceratops, and a complete duck-billed Maiasaurus – along with dozens of important prehistoric treasures, at the Tower Building in Dallas's Fair Park.
Heritage Auctions, headed by Steve Ivy, Jim Halperin and Greg Rohan, is the world's third largest auction house, with annual sales more than $600 million, and 500,000+ online bidder members.

Ikea prints more than 200m copies of its famous catalogue, catering to its ever-growing flatpack fan base.
Now, with new agency McCann it's going digital with all-singing and dancing app although it's keeping its print version, which will keep numerous printers and trees in a job.
Last year it appointed McCann to handle the catalogue account (the main Ikea account is still officially with Ogilvy in the US and Mother in the UK). And McCann creative is, hardly coincidentally, now headed by global CCO Linus Karlsson and his equally Swedish deputy Andreas Dahlqvist.
The dynamic duo has already produced one ad, 'World Without Textiles, and here's the new digi catalogue.
Ikea's head of global communications Lena Simonsson says: "One prerequisite was that we wanted to keep the printed catalogue as a base. Many other companies would have started this exercise by doing a deep study on how much more efficient this could be totally online vs. paper but, typical Ikea, we like to do things a bit backwards. We believe in something, and we go from there and see what we could do about it."
So it's evolution not revolution at Ikea. So maybe we shouldn't expect too many fireworks from Dahlqvist and Karlsson but they seem to have made a decent start.

What's new in KB Research? We're pretty excited here about the nomination of the KEEP Emulation Framework (EF) for the Digital Preservation Awards 2012.
Current computers are not capable of executing old programs anymore and old file formats most likely need to be converted before they can be used. And this is where emulation comes in: with emulation software you can recreate the old computer platform again and run your program as it used to run on a real machine. It offers you almost the same 'look-and-feel' as in the old days. The EF offers such a platform without the need to go through difficult installations and configurations.
KB led the work on developing this Framework so we're very proud to be nominated for this award in the category outstanding contribution to research and innovation in digital preservation in the last 2 years . The Awards will be presentated on 3 December in London. We keep our fingers crossed!
The EF comes with an Apache 2 license. Free download on Source Forge: http://emuframework.sf.net .
For this post I borrowed some text from the KEEP website where you can find more information on emulation and the KEEP project.

Anderson Cooper Talks About New Daytime Talk Show
Says he can interview reality stars and keep news cred
In a conversation before a crowd of designers, programmers, and advertisers here at the PromaxBDA conference in Manhattan, Anderson Cooper touched on a variety of topics—from his love of seltzer water to drunk calls he's received from reality TV stars. But the most substantive part of the chat centered on the new Warner Bros.-distributed daytime talk show Cooper is set to premiere in syndication this September, called Anderson.
Unlike his CNN news program Anderson Cooper 360 or his "on-assignment" work for 60 Minutes (which is sometimes hard news-focused but not always), Cooper's new show will venture into new and decidedly softer territory. Anderson, he says, will "cover a broad spectrum of topics," though, he adds, "I don't think we'll be doing a lot of politics. . . . There are so many places where viewers can get that."
Without going into detail, Cooper told discussion moderator Erica Hill, co-anchor of CBS's The Early Show, that the tenor and format of the new show will likely be similar to some of the other daytime programming in the genre, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Live With Regis and Kelly. "I like daytime TV," Cooper said. "I started watching Donahue when I was young. . . . On daytime you can tell stories you can't really tell in an evening newscast."
While Cooper did say that the show will cover some of the newsier subject matter he treats in his reportorial work, Anderson will follow his personal interests much more closely—and that includes a love of pop culture. "We think this will be the only show on the air that covers a broad spectrum of topics . . . For years in news I was ashamed to admit I watch [Bravo's unscripted franchise] Housewives. Now that I'm at daytime TV, I can fully reveal that I like Housewives."
Cooper, unsurprisingly, thinks that his reportorial reputation will remain untouched no matter how many reality stars he interviews during the day. "You can be very serious and very passionate about [serious news] and still like [Real Housewives of Atlanta star] NeNe Leakes," he said. "People know that you can juggle different things."

The Oklahoma City Thunder and the Houston Rockets will both be gunning for a victory on 3/26/2017 at 3:35 PM when they meet in a game matchup.
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Houston Rockets
When: 3:30 PM ET, Sunday, March 26, 2017
Where: Toyota Center, Houston, Texas
|Oklahoma City Thunder
|-7 (-110)
|232 (-110)
|Houston Rockets
TV: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC
PREDICTION: Rockets 116, Thunder 108
Oddsmakers currently have the HOUSTON listed as -7 point favorites versus the OKLAHOMA CITY, while the game's total is sitting at 232.
HOUSTON — The Houston Rockets on Friday night reached 50 victories and remain on pace for their winningest season since 1996-97 yet that significant accomplishment was met with shrugs and statements revealing grander goals.
The Rockets (50-22) have long since exceeded the modest expectations that greeted them entering this season, having long ago entrenched themselves as the third-best team in the Western Conference and an offensive juggernaut.
So after the Rockets rallied past the New Orleans Pelicans 117-107, the Rockets took their benchmark as just another step in a long series of moves to consistent excellence.
"It's good. Our season ain't over yet so we're not celebrating any more wins or anything like that," Rockets forward Trevor Ariza said. "We are happy that we did get to 50 wins or whatever, but it's still season left, still more games to play, and take it from there."
Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni playfully set the bar at 60 wins in order to engender excitement on his behalf, a total requiring Houston to run the table starting Sunday when it hosts the Oklahoma City Thunder at Toyota Center.
Houston will enter the matchup without forward Ryan Anderson, who suffered a right ankle sprain on Friday and will be sidelined an indefinite number of games.
Losing a big against the Thunder (41-30) qualifies as bad timing. Oklahoma City ranks second in rebounding percentage at 53.2. D'Antoni will shift forward Trevor Ariza over to the four and also insert guard Eric Gordon into the lineup.
Despite being smaller, the Rockets are still armed with MVP candidate James Harden, averaging 30.6 points and 11.4 assists since the All-Star Game break.
"Yeah, I thought that one a long time ago," D'Antoni said of Harden making his case for MVP honors. "This guy, what he's doing every night, I mean come on."
The Thunder-Rockets showdown will provide one final matchup between the leading MVP candidates Harden and Thunder guard Russell Westbrook, who is on pace to average a triple-double.
With averages of 31.2 points, 10.5 rebounds and 10.4 assists, Westbrook is poised to join Oscar Robertson as the only NBA players to average a triple-double in a season. Robertson accomplished the feat in 1961-62 yet was third in MVP balloting behind Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain.
Oklahoma City will open two games behind Utah for fourth place in the Western Conference playoff picture and 1 1/2 behind the Los Angeles Clippers for fifth. The Thunder are 1 1/2 games ahead of seventh-place Memphis.
Given what's at stake, the Thunder are more inclined to focus on wins down the stretch to improve their postseason positioning. The larger picture of the Harden-Westbrook MVP chase will be at the forefront for plenty of others.
"Part of that is probably because of Russell," Thunder coach Billy Donovan said of his team's lack of attention on MVP conversations. "Russell really talks more about the team stuff and team-aspect things.
"I'm sure that to a lot of people that vote on an MVP race, people are going to take into consideration how well your team does. That will certainly be a strong consideration by people."

Former Leo Burnett head honcho Richard Wheatly has always had a thing about tiny radio station Jazz FM. Now he clearly believes he can make some serious money from it.
His links with the station go back 20 years when he rescued it from the clutches of the idealistic but resolutely uncommercial founders of the station. Over a decade or so he built it up into a viable proposition and sold it to the Guardian Media Group for £44.5 million in 2002.
It must have seemed like a betrayal when GMG floundered around with the station and three years later turned it into the blandest of bland Smooth FM, one of those instantly forgettable stations that float around the airwaves for no very good reason.
So two years ago Wheatly relaunched Jazz FM as a digital-only brand under licence from GMG and The Local Radio Company where he happened to be executive chairman. Then last year he stepped down from his TLRC role to focus on Jazz, and now, with backing from Herald Ventures, he has acquired the station once again with a view to an eventual flotation.
This might seem a grandiose scheme for a station with under half a million listeners and a 0.2 per cent audience share.
Yet Wheatly was one of the first to understand the potential of the internet for niche radio. Jazz is on the android, nokia, Blackberry and iphone platforms and is claimed to be the most popular radio app in the UK and the US. It has also said it will be the first UK station to broadcast on the Europe-wide satellite radio platform, Ondas Media, when it launches next year.
So if Jazz does get listed it won't be a stock for widows and orphans but it might just fulfil Wheatly's financial dreams.

Anything is possible in this fast and furious biking game, where you ride your very own Motocross dirt bike freestyle over some of the most challenging jumps on the circuit! Compete on 9 different tracks, performing intense stunts, fancy flips and wacky tricks over some of the most daunting obstacles imaginable.
Have the crowd cheering your name as you race up the leaderboard on your way to dirt-bike glory! There are 7 special tricks that you have to master, including the Superman and the Rock Solid. Make the crowd go wild and leave your competitors in the dirt. But be careful, because this game follows the laws of physics and gravity. If you don't do a trick correctly, you'll tumble off your bike and fall flat! Ouch! Think you've got what it takes, Stunt Master? Ok then, show off those magnificent moves!
How to Play: On the menu screen, choose which track you want to attempt and customize your rider. Use your computer keyboard to control your bike. The arrow keys control the movement of the bike and the number keys (1-7) perform the stunts while you are in the air. Use the arrow keys to maneuver the bike: Left arrow = accelerate; Down arrow = lean back; Up arrow = lean forward.
The more complicated and the longer you hold a trick – the more points you receive. Be mindful of your energy meter at the bottom of the game screen. Each trick and flip drains your energy and you have to wait for the meter to refill before you can perform another one. Can you keep the crowds roaring, or should you be riding a tricycle? Only one way to find out! Get on your bike and rev it up!
Tip: Hit any of the number keys from 1 to 7 to perform flips while in the air. The icons at the bottom of the game area show the type of flip that corresponds to each of the number keys.
If this Flash-based game no longer works on IE11 on your PC / MAC, try playing on Chrome or Firefox browser.

Several Chelsea fans took to Twitter during the game against Tottenham on Sunday to vent their frustration at David Luiz's performance.
Left with just two fit midfielders, Antonio Conte elected to play David Luiz in the heart of Chelsea's midfield, alongside N'Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko, as the Italian tested a new 3-5-1-1 formation. However, minutes into the fierce London derby, some Chelsea fans were scratching their eyes out at what was unfolding before them on their television screens.
For example, @brozz1e was forced to watch the match from behind the comfort of his sofa after seeing Luiz make a string of silly mistakes in midfield…
Looks like David Luiz of old in midfield, looks a liability and makes me very nervous every time the ball goes to him.
— Paul Brosnan (@brozz1e) August 20, 2017
Meanwhile, @scentm called for David Luiz to be put out of his misery before he did any more damage to his team's chances of getting their first three point of the season…
The 'David Luiz in midfield' experiment needs taking round the back and shooting in the head. Twice. At point-blank range. #pleasenomore
— IamSiegeFace (@scentm) August 20, 2017
Now, up until the 38th minute, I agreed with these tweets, as dramatic as they are. David Luiz was a huge liability in the Chelsea midfield: he fouled players countless times, he gave away possession by launching wayward 50-yard passes, and he attempted to win challenges that, simply, weren't there to be won. Why had Conte put the Brazilian in midfield?!
However, everything seemed to change after David Luiz was booked. Upon receiving a yellow card from Anthony Taylor, the makeshift midfielder appeared to undergo a positive transformation, or an epiphany of sorts. No longer was the 30-year-old making a clown of himself in midfield. Instead, the Brazilian seemed to have an air of maturity about his game, something which had been missing in the opening 38 minutes of the derby.
Rather than giving away silly fouls, Luiz was very efficient and neat when tackling the opposition. Also, he didn't give away half as many fouls and won the ball with clean, fair challenges that Claude Makelele himself would have been proud of.
Yet what's more, when Luiz had nicked the ball off a Tottenham player, he did not look to find an audacious pass or find the nearest pair of open legs to nut-meg. No, he elected to play simple passes to the players around him in complete opposite to what he had been doing only minutes earlier. Was this the same player?
Although you never know which David Luiz you are going to get when the Brazilian turns up on the pitch, there is no denying that the defender has the skill and intelligence to play as a midfielder. As a result, the bushy-haired Brazilian is a legitimate option for Antonio Conte in the middle of the park for this season.
However, he just might need to get the 30-year-old booked before he discovers the player that helped Chelsea get over the line against Spurs on Sunday…

Saturday (August 21st, 2012) saw the official release of The Man with the Hole in his Head (by Kevin Woolridge) at the Grand Bank Regional Theater to great success.
Woolridge, always a man of many talents in theater and cartooning, proved a triple threat (at least) with the supernatural thriller that hooked many people on the premise alone, enough to completely sell out of the copies brought for the launch.
"It was a great signing today," said Woolridge. "We sold out and could have sold a lot more."
Woolridge will be doing more signings closer to the city in the coming month(s), but patrons eager to find out what all the fuss is about should check amazon.com and chapters.ca to purchase the book online at discounted rates.
Facebook post from Woolridge on the day of: "First book signing today. What do people write on the inside of books when asked? Will people be judging my penmanship? What if I spell something wrong? Should I wear a suit? A sweater would be all 'Hey, I'm a cozy and approachable author,' but it's super warm outside…"
First person to buy a copy of the book? Sharon King-Campbell. The protagonist in Woolridge's book? Camper King. Coincidence?
Kevin Woolridge was born in 1977 in St. John's, Newfoundland.
He holds a BFA (theatre) from Grenfell College.
When not writing, he spends his time working as an actor/musician for various theater companies, and drawing his comic book series The Little World.
The Man With The Hole in His Head is his first novel.

Being a geek father will never get old for Bryan Zug. The Web guru, tech collaborator and father of two is seattlepi.com's Geek of the Week.
To answer the question posed by our last GoW, Mike Harrington, "Merge early or as late as possible?" Zug says he'll merge early.
A good dad wouldn't have it any other way.
Bryan's photo is (CC) Randy Stewart, blog.stewtopia.com. Have someone in mind for next time? Let us know.
Name: Bryan Zug
Title: Interactive Manager/Producer at Phinney Bischoff Design House, Web Video Producer for Ignite Seattle
What do you do, exactly? At PBDH, I help companies build Web sites. With O'Reilly's Ignite Seattle, I make Web videos of people presenting 20 slides in 5 minutes.
And while those are the textbook descriptions of my functions, the poetry of what I get to do runs much deeper — helping disparate tribes recognize the beauty in one another and collaborate toward creating things they could never do alone: designers and developers, pragmatists and dreamers, marketing and IT, right anglers and curvers, bizdev and writers, skeptics and believers.
It's a privilege to get up every morning and do what I do.
Geekiest title you've ever had: Geek Dad — Being a geek father never gets old. When I took my family Geocaching for the first time, my wife wrote a blog post called, "Because the Zugs could never just go hiking." How cool is that?!?!
Geekiest thing you've ever done: Had streaming video tea parties with my kids when I had to be in Silicon Valley for work. We'd also have family dinner together every night via video conference.
Favorite movie: Primer by Shane Carruth. One of the best start-up / sci-fi thrillers ever.
Favorite game: Myst – video game. Ticket to Ride (aka Zug um Zug) – Board Game. (Zug means locomotive in German)
Favorite book: Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
Favorite junk food: I love a good smore, round the fire pit with friends, after a summer BBQ
Favorite time waster: Wii + Lego * (Indiana Jones OR Star Wars)
Mac or PC? With Mac I can have both, which, as a Web developer, is a must — so Mac
iPhone or Blackberry? iPhone. The iPhone – It's heightened a huge public awareness that great design and powerful functionality changes markets and makes wonderful things possible. CEO's don't look at the designers with that "kiddie art project" look anymore.
Star Wars or Star Trek? Star Wars. Star Wars had me at the "A long, long time ago…" word block floating into space
Coolest new tech venture in Seattle: Zack Hubert (formerly of Amazon) and the crew at OnTheCity.org are doing some pretty interesting work building web communities that are tied to physical communities (churches, to be specific). They've been flying under the radar since they were bought out by a subsidiary of HarperCollins last fall, but when I stopped by their new offices near Lake Union last month, they were abuzz with development activity.
When did you first know you were a geek? Describe that moment: I was 7 and pouring molten lead with my dad into the chassis of my Cub Scout Pinewood Derby car — we topped it out to regulation weight in our effort to build the fastest racer we could.
Who are your geek heroes, and why? My dad, Richard Zug — his endless inventions growing up made my house a mad lab of curious mechanical wonder, and he instilled an "I think we can figure it out" optimism that makes up a core part of my character.
Rand and Robyn Miller, Creators of Myst — Myst is a game that doesn't tell you what the explicit goal is (kinda like life, eh?) and where you can never die. They drop you into the middle of a world where a rich arresting narrative is woven into every corner of the periphery. Playing that for 24 hours in 1995 was an amazing connection with geeks at the top of their craft.
J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis — Two experts in medieval languages who, through conversations in their writing group, the Inklings, came to the conclusion that one of the best uses of their remaining days on the planet would be to write fantasy novels. Such brain power devoted to what many would call a "disposable" activity.
Look into your crystal ball: What's the next big disruptive technology/event/movement? I'm with Clay Shirky in thinking that we've only seen the tip of the iceberg on how online collaboration, outside the walls of traditional businesses/organizations, is going to radically change us as humans. His observation that 1 percent of the time people spend watching television would create 100 Wikipedias is astounding — a small first note of an epic symphony. I hope to be around long enough to help name that tune.
Final thoughts? Sometimes these new technologies and closer interactions expose how different all of our various tribes really are — which is surprisingly different than the tidy future we all imagined. And yet working through these trash compactor moments often leaves us with a lot richer life than if we'd never had any problems. Beauty through bumps, bruises, cracks, and fissures. Go figure.

To keep a thread going with future GoW's, we asked Bryan to submit a question for the next geek. Check back on Monday to find out what it is, and how it's answered.

One of the best-known characters from the English folklore, Robin Hood has been the main character in countless movies, TV shows, and different games. This includes a number of casino slots with NetEnt's Robin Hood slot being probably the most popular of the bunch.
With the full name Robin Hood Shifting Riches, the slot was published in 2011 and was a great success with the players at the time, introducing some interesting and fairly innovative features. Shifting reels, extra wilds, and free spins have made this game into a fairly popular release, but it was a long time ago. Times have changed, technologies have advanced, so is it about time for NetEnt to come up with a Robin Hood 2 slot sequel?
Plenty to Work With
The story of the green-cladded, highly skilled archer who stole from the rich to give to the poor certainly has a lot to offer. With their last release years ago, NetEnt explored only a few elements of this story, and they were limited by the technology they had at hand at the moment.
Nowadays, the company has access to technologies that could make the Robin Hood 2 slot a huge success with 3D graphics, engaging cut-scenes, and hugely entertaining bonus features. For example, archery tournaments where you progress through the rounds and increase your winnings. Or, a 3D feature where you steal the pouch full of gold and then try to avoid your enemies as you run along to distribute the gold to the needy.
This way, the game would be so much more than just another slot with some paylines and free spins, which has gotten somewhat old by this point. It would also be a great improvement on the original game, which was pretty sleek for its time but is having a hard time competing with modern-day slots already taking advantage of these superior technologies.
New Casino Slot to Get Excited About
Although there are new slots published practically every day it is the ones with well-known and relatable stories that really speak to us and NetEnt's Robin Hood 2 would undoubtedly go into this category. There haven't been any rumours about the company putting in the time to develop the game, but one can never know what might entice them to do so.
It would also be nice that, if this game is to be developed, for it to be premiered at JackpotCityCasino (www.casinoreviews.net.nz/jackpotcitycasino/) or Spin Palace Casino (www.casinoreviews.net.nz/spinpalace/). These are some of the more established brands in the online gambling industry and they'd be a perfect match for the Robin Hood 2 slot because they can certainly recognize the true value of the game.
Image credit: https://theopengamingsociety.org/casino-games/slots/
The slight issue with this, of course, is that both of these are Microgaming casinos, so they'd have to work out some sort of a special deal to make this happen. On the flip side, having a brand new NetEnt game introduced at a Microgaming casino should have a great impact with the players and it would almost guarantee Robin Hood 2 gets the attention it deserves. Lately, we've seen both casinos add Netent games so perhaps this idea is not too far-fetched.

There's no doubt that Americans need better eating habits and more exercise.
