This program emphasizes the complete theatre artist: one who feels equally comfortable in all facets of dance and theatre. The major provides an educational experience responsive to today's professional demands in the performing arts, in addition to satisfactory preparation for further work and study in either or both areas. The student may elect one of several emphases: performance, choreography, directing, or research. This major requires careful planning because required courses in both departments are taught in alternate years. The student should consult with an adviser in each department as soon as possible.
Admission to the Major
1. Completion of Dance 211 and 212 and Theatre 210.
2. Satisfactory participation in at least one dance or theatre production at Reed.
Requirements for the Major
1. Dance 111, 112, 211, 212, 311, and 312. Dance 111 and 112 may be waived if the student has had sufficient previous technical training. Three units of dance theory and criticism, history, and/or cultural studies are also required from Dance 201, 252, 260, 262, 264, 335, 340, 351, and 360.
2. Five units of theatre, including Theatre 210, 331 and two of the following: Theatre 240, 250, 260, or 270. Theatre 250 and 260 are strongly recommended for majors. If a student is considering a thesis project with a creative component, one unit of theatre design is required. Lighting design is strongly recommended.
3. One unit of music; one unit of art history, studio art, or theatre design.
4. Dance–Theatre 470 (thesis).
Additional Requirements
5. Completion of the division requirements specified by the Division of the Arts.
6. Completion of the Theatre 162 requirement. See explanation in the theatre department section.
Junior Qualifying Examination
Students electing a major in dance–theatre are examined by the two departments in the second semester of the junior year. On the basis of this review, it will be determined whether a student will be admitted to senior standing, and may undertake a research-centered thesis project or a creative project with a research component. Performance on the exam will affect the nature and scope of the thesis project.

About the Author
Hello again. As you know, I'm always up to something new. For now I'm on a space opera serial, called Davron. Just my usual bit of fun. Good guys, bad guys, and aliens who could be either or. It will probably be in about 5 or 6 parts, about 10,000 words each. Three parts out already and more to come. It is FREE for the series, then I'll probably make a single book out of it, if it has proved popular. We shall see.
I've also been adding some of my short stories and novellas to a site called booktrack.com.
And what is this about, Gary? I hear you ask. Well. Imagine ebooks with sound effects. Background music, ambiance, and sound effects like doors slamming, or cars driving off. It could be the next best thing. Some of my little horrors are proving popular on there, such as Character Stains. Think it's a little bit radical? Go check it out. There are some classics on there, such as Sherlock Holmes, etc. It is all FREE at the moment.
I have also created 10 audiobooks by narrating my ebooks. Some, like the All Mixed Up series, have several stories in one book. 1 to 4 and 5 to 8. If you would like to "Hear" Detective Senior Morris and the team tell the stories you'll find hyperlinks in the ebooks to take you straight there. Other audiobooks are Last Flight For Craggy. The Amazing Abbey Jones, Starlight Army and many others all at distribly.com. They are in MP4B format, ok for apple and others smart phone devices and free samples are available to try out. A free version of Starlight Army is available for a short time. Hope you like them. Gary

Pre-Gamin': White Sox v. Cubs (7:05 CT) – Lineups, Broadcast Info, etc.
The Cubs and White Sox "rivalry" has lost a little luster in recent years, as neither team has been particularly competitive, and the series has been a bit marginalized by changes in interleague play.
But, I'm still a sucker for it. Cardinals and White Sox back-to-back. That's pretty cool. The Cubs took down the Cardinals, and now it's on to the White Sox.
Jeff Samardzija starts tonight against lefty Jose Quintana, and the Cubs respond accordingly with a lot of righties in the lineup. Samardzija has yet to make a start that was a real egg, although his last time out against the Reds (5.2 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 4 BB, 4 K) was his worst effort of the year. He'll get a DH-less White Sox lineup tonight to get back to his dominant ways.
Speaking of that lineup … how do you get Adam Dunn and Jose Abreu in the lineup without a DH? Well, you've gotta throw one of them into the outfield. Dunn is the sacrificial lamb tonight, where he'll battle the idiosyncrasies of Wrigley's corner outfield in left. His UZR/150 hasn't been better than -30 in the outfield since 2008 (and it was -28.9 that year). That's insanely consistently bad, in case you needed context. Hit it to left tonight, boys.
Think Samardzija is going to be jacked up to face Abreu? My money is on Samardzija, by the way.

ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) — Texas Gov. Rick Perry is in Missouri helping unveil a new nonprofit group focusing on job creation through low-tax state policies.
The former presidential candidate was in suburban St. Louis Friday to promote the new nonprofit Americans for Economic Freedom. He says the tax-exempt group will focus on job creation by pushing low-tax state policies rather than a "Washington culture (that) is fundamentally broken."
The board of Americans for Economic Freedom will also include St. Louis beer baron August Busch III, economist Art Laffer and former House Speaker and former presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
Perry is considering whether to run for president in 2016 after an unsuccessful 2012 effort.

Difference between revisions of "Royalty and Nobility"

|Line 49:
* Duke [[Adam Antium]]
* Duke [[Adam Antium]]
==Possible Noble Units==
==Possible Noble Units==
Revision as of 14:20, 25 January 2011
Proposed Canon
Royal and Noble Units have slightly stronger stats and Level faster than normal Units.Erf-b1-p079a Cities ruled by Royals may Pop Nobles and more Royals.
Generally speaking, Nobles have a title designating their social status, such as Duke Nozzle, Count Vinny Doombats, or Viscount Caesar Borgata. Other likely titles would be Baron, Earl, or Marquis. The word Lord has been used for both noble and non-noble, but not Royal, units. Since no known Royal are Casters, it may be that these two groups are mutually exclusive.
Known Royal Units
- King Banhammer - Croaked
- Queen Jillian Zamussels
- King Saline IV - Croaked
- King County - Croaked
- Don King
- King Slately
- Prince Ansom - Decrypted
- Prince Ossomer - Decrypted
- Prince Tramennis
- King Dickie
- Prince Sammy
- Queen Bea - Croaked
- Princess Cruz - Decrypted, Destroyed
Known Noble Units
- Count Vinny Doombats
- Viscount Caesar Borgata
- Archduke Ferdinand - (origins unknown) Uncroaked, Destroyed
- Duke Nozzle - Croaked
- Lady Sylvia Lazarus - Decrypted
- Duke Adam Antium - Decrypted
Possible Noble Units
Some, but seemingly not all, Casters have the title of Lord or Lady, and may be Noble Units.
- Lord Ace Hardware Jetstone Caster
- Lady Wanda Firebaugh, Faq/Gobwin Knob, Caster Chief Croakamancer
Known Ignoble Units
- Jack Snipe - Jack (or Knave) was his title, not his name; this indicates a position of a servant. It is not a military rank or official position, however, and fulfills the same purpose of a noble title. Practically, Snipe enjoyed the same treatment as Lady Wanda Firebaugh, as both were Casters. That he is given a title at all is interesting, as it is seemingly rare; most non-noble units simply use military ranks for the purposes of hierarchy and social interaction.
Royals can probably only be created in a capital city, while Nobles can be created in any city which is part of a side led by a Royal. It probably takes longer to create a Royal than any other type of unit, though Turnamancy can accelerate this process. The social rank of a Noble probably correlates to the size of the city in which he was popped, so a Duke comes from a big city, (maybe the Capital) and a Viscount comes from a very small city. Caesar Borgata, a Viscount, is described as being "barely a Noble", suggesting that a Duke is likely to have slightly higher initial stats than a Count, who is likely to be slightly higher than a Viscount.
It's possible free will is a innate trait to Royals, as most of the non-Ruler royals are described as ornery and contrary to their progenitor's wishes.
Many Royal and Noble Characters (especially Prince Ansom before his Decryption) believe Royalty and Nobility are the signs of Titanic mandate to rule. In fact, the purpose of Royal Crown Coalition was to defend this belief against Stanley, who believes Titans favor those with the Arkentools.

The University of Massachusetts Medical School and state regulators have a diagnosis to make: How did an employee's lucrative scam go undetected for years?
The late Leo Villani of Uxbridge earned $46,000 per year as a financial analyst at the school's Commonwealth Medicine division in Shrewsbury. As detailed in the Boston Sunday Globe Sept. 15, he sweetened that salary considerably by skimming from the millions collected by his office on behalf of MassHealth, the state's Medicaid insurance program.
Mr. Villani created a dummy corporation and deposited nearly $3.4 million in it over five years, an investigation conducted by UMass found.
He might still be at it had he not died in January from injuries sustained in a car crash. Officials, acting on a tip from a coworker, found the discrepancies after Mr. Villani's death.
It is troubling that so much missing money could have escaped notice. Proper accounting practices might have prevented the phony deposits or caught them far sooner. No one should be handling large sums in a vacuum for any organization, and certainly not taxpayer money connected with a health insurance program for the needy.
As a state institution, UMass enjoys tremendous trust. In this case, it did not live up to it. Edward Keohane, vice chancellor for communications at the medical school, called Mr. Villani's deception appalling, unbelievable and staggering.
We agree, and the remedy is twofold. Massachusetts must recoup as much of the $3.4 million as it can from Mr. Villani's estate; and the state and medical school must learn from this debacle, from the wisdom of awarding the contract by MassHealth to Commonwealth Medicine without a competitive bid, to preventing future money bleeds via tighter oversight.
Meanwhile, wrongdoing must be punished; already, one supervisor has been dismissed and other workers have been disciplined.
The state and the school must make it clear they don't tolerate thieves among the ranks.

Thank you. We heard your feedback and updated this recipe to help ensure recipe success. To prevent the baked cake layers from sticking to the pans, generously grease and flour the cake pans (or line them with parchment paper) and allow for the full 30 min. cooling time before removing the layers from the pans. Also, be sure to swirl the two batters together evenly. If you live in a high-altitude location, follow the High Altitude Directions on the cake mix package and to help prevent the batter from overflowing, use 9-inch round cake pans.
Use a teaspoon to swirl the two colors of batter - it's the perfect size for lifting and pulling the two colors together. For best results, be careful to not swirl the batters too much or the color of the cakes will be all pink and not marbled.
Use 1 pkg. (3 oz.) JELL-O SIMPLY GOOD Strawberry Flavor Gelatin.

Kyle Anthony Figueroa studied on exchange during the spring 2015 semester.
Home University: Anglia Ruskin University, UK Field of Study: Social Policy Favourite thing about Umeå University: The people Favourite Swedish word or custom : Fika!! Three words to summarise your time in Umeå: Beauty, Serenity, Welcoming
I chose to study at Umea because of recommendations by students from Umea University, which I met at my home university. These students were also taking part in the Erasmus Exchange. They spoke so highly of Umea; from its education and student life to its culture and welcoming atmosphere. I knew that when I had the opportunity to study abroad, Umea would be my first and only selection.
I enjoyed all of my courses here at Umea. I really appreciated the high teaching standards, patience, and dedication of the lecturers. Furthermore, I loved the option of engaging in a more eclectic set of courses than at my home university, including psychology, and business, as well as an introductory Swedish language course.
I tend to spend the majority of my leisure time while in Umea at IKSU. Whether taking part in fitness classes, or just general training, I always find a friend or classmate to participate with me. Additionally, I spend a great deal of time having Fika with many of my Swedish and international friends.
My most memorable moment has surely been my participation in the Spring Prom. The combination of culture, tradition, and elegant beauty was captivating; it really felt like a fairy tale. I highly recommend all international students to participate during their exchange.
While the city itself is rather small, it holds everything you might need. Its surrounding areas are beautiful! Snow-tipped pine and white birch trees littered the landscape throughout winter, creating a genuine wonderland.
The biggest cultural difference is surely the welcoming nature of the Swedish people. While my home country does provide a feeling of safety, Sweden has always felt more than just safe; it felt like home. Regarding education, the biggest difference has been the work-load, in addition to the semester and course structural differences, the required amount of work in Umea was far more intensive than my home university.
I would recommend their exchange as highly as possible; it has truly been a life changing experience. The joy, wonder, beauty, and knowledge I've gained throughout my journey here will surely prove to be an invaluable asset which I will carry with me for years. I'm grateful and humbled by this experience and I know that after they take advantage of this opportunity, they will be to.

Littleton apartment complex asked to curb crimeBy BOB HOOKWAY
Special to the Union Leader
February 11. 2013 8:08PM
LITTLETON - In response to a resident's December complaint about what he called an elevated level of serious and violent crimes at a housing development, Littleton officials have put the property's owner and managers on a sort-of probation.
Brien Ward, an attorney and former deputy prosecutor in Grafton County, met with selectmen in December and called for them to look into closing Parker Village and its 50 apartments, and relocating its 125 residents, including 65 children.
Another selectmen's meeting last month had to be moved to the Littleton Opera House when some 75 people showed up, many of them residents of the development just north of downtown on Route 116. They objected to Ward's call to have Parker Village declared a public nuisance.
After hearing both sides and studying the matter, the board has decided on measures that fall well short of a major relocation and closing the apartments.
"(The) Board believes that relocating the 50 families is an unnecessary response to what appears to be a somewhat elevated level of calls for police assistance over other multifamily housing communities in town," board members wrote to Ward.
The selectboard members - Chairman Michael Gilman, Marghie Seymour and Milt Bratz - said Town Manager Fred Moody and Police Chief Paul Smith have come up with a plan to boost communication between police and project administrators, including on-site manager Pauline DiNatale. There is also a plan to have the police department prepare weekly incident reports for Parker Village and a quarterly report that lists calls for service there.
"If multiple calls for service/incidents or arrests emanate from any one apartment or individual, the police department will contact the on-site manager so that corrective action can be taken," the selectmen wrote.
Parker's Village's "management team will exhibit due diligence in screening applicants (for housing), including criminal records checks," the selectmen said in their letter.
The development's managers will also be expected to consider erecting a barrier or fence between Parker's Village property and abutting residential properties and consider installing exterior video cameras in common areas open to the public.
"Parker's Village management team will in consultation with the Littleton Police Department, establish the following: A Neighborhood Watch Program, and designating the neighborhood (and other high occupancy multi-family developments) a Drug Free Zone in accordance with a proposed new ordinance," board members said in their letter
"While the Town recognizes these achievements may not entirely eliminate future calls for service by the Littleton Police Department, the department will, in conjunction with the Parker's Village Management Team, regularly evaluate these proactive measures and determine whether additional mitigation efforts are needed to maintain a safe and secure neighborhood for all Parker's Village residents and visitors," board members concluded.
The board said it would evaluate the results in six months, and again in a year.
Ward, who at the January public meeting noted that he did not repeat his call for closing the development, said he is satisfied with the town's plan, and is willing to see how it turns out.
DiNatale, the on-site manager, said Sunday she was relieved that the property would not be closed, and now considers Ward's complaint a "wake-up call" for tenants and administrators, including Paul Stewart.
Stewart's Bedford-based firm, Stewart Property Management, oversees the housing development. "Paul Stewart felt comfortable with it," DiNatale said of the proposal.
"The residents have to understand that their actions affect others, including other residents. Overall, this is good," she said.

This automated material handling system provides a total process solution for moving highly fragile food product through multiple process operations into bulk storage for temporary holding prior to final packaging. At a process rate of 12,000 lb/hr, bulk totes of the food product are nested into a lift carriage. The tote is sealed to a custom-designed discharge hood. The tote is vertically conveyed, using 1½-in., solid 304 stainless steel track and cam rollers, to a 23-ft discharge height. During tilting of the tote, optical sensors ensure a maximum product discharge drop distance of no more than 5 in. throughout the entire 150º rotation. Additional material handling occurs as three stages of vibratory conveyor move the highly fragile food product through two stages of high-speed image processing and sorting to ensure the material maintains its original characteristics throughout processing. The finish-processed food product is then moved into a storage tote using a reverse-tilt fill method to, again, ensure the product drop does not exceed 5 in. during filling. The final take-away conveyor section includes an integrated, NTEP-certified weigh system to ensure the filled tote weight is accurate to +/- .01% of the tote's 4000-lb total capacity.

U.N. Syria aid vote likely Friday, Russia or China support unclear
UNITED NATIONS: The U.N. Security Council will likely vote on a draft resolution to boost humanitarian aid access in war-torn Syria on Friday, diplomats said, but it was unclear if Russia and Chinawould support or veto the Western- and Arab-backed text.
Australia, Jordan and Luxembourg finalized the draft on Wednesday, which includes demands for cross-border aid access, an end to shelling and aerial bombardment – including barrel bombs – and threatens "further steps" in the event of non-compliance.
These were among the main sticking points during almost two weeks of negotiations. Western diplomats said it was unclear if Moscow and Beijing – two of the five veto-wielding powers on the 15-member council – would support or block the resolution.
Russia, supported by China, has shielded Syria on the U.N. Security Council during the three-year-long civil war. They have vetoed three resolutions condemning Syria's government and threatening it with possible sanctions.
"Of course the decision will be taken in Moscow," said a U.N. diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity. "It does remain uncertain but, objectively, nothing in this humanitarian text should be unacceptable for any delegation."
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Monday Russia would block the adoption of a resolution that allowed aid convoys to enter Syria without the consent of the Damascus government. He also warned earlier on Wednesday that the draft resolution should not be "politicized."
"If nobody in the Security Council seeks to politicize this issue, to promote one-sided approaches, I am convinced we will be able to reach an agreement in the coming days," Lavrov told a Gulf states meeting in Kuwait, Interfax news agency reported.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said China was actively participating in the process of producing a resolution.
"We believe that, in the current circumstances, the action by the Security Council should be conducive to pushing for a political solution to the Syria problem," she told reporters in Beijing.
"The relevant action should also respect the U.N.'s guiding principles on humanitarian aid, upholding fairness and neutrality."
Russia initially dismissed the draft resolution as an unjust bid to blame Damascus for the conflict and the aid crisis in Syria, where the United Nations say 9.3 million people need help.
But Moscow then proposed a rival text and Australia, Jordan and Luxembourg wrapped some of those suggestions into their draft. While Russia then engaged in negotiations, Western diplomats said progress on the text had stalled.
"We're not making progress by just meeting and meeting and meeting, so we're going to push it to a vote," said a senior U.N. diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity.
Western members of the Security Council have been considering a humanitarian resolution for almost a year. After months of talks, the council eventually adopted a non-binding statement on October 2 urging more access to aid, but that statement only produced a little administrative progress.
U.N. aid chief Valerie Amos last week urged the U.N. Security Council to act to increase humanitarian access in Syria. Amos has repeatedly expressed frustration that violence and red tape have slowed aid deliveries to a trickle.
The United Nations has said that well over 100,000 people have been killed in the civil war. The opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has said that more than 136,000 have been killed since a revolt against President Bashar al-Assad began in March 2011.

Our friend Pete Hegseth argues in today's Wall Street Journal that Barack Obama needs to go to Iraq and begin familiarizing himself with the "messy realities" on the ground there. Pete's critique of Obama's irresponsible conduct with respect to Iraq strikes me as inarguable:
Since his election to the United States Senate in 2004, Mr. Obama has traveled to Iraq just once – in January 2006. This was more than a year before Gen. David Petraeus took command and the surge began. It was also several months before Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's government came into office. Although Mr. Obama frequently criticizes the Iraqi leader on the campaign trail, he has never actually met him. ***
Mr. Obama frequently decries the danger of "dogmatists" and "ideologues" in public policy, yet he himself has proven consistently uninterested in putting himself in situations where he might be confronted with the hard complexities of this war. It suggests a dangerous degree of detachment and overconfidence in his own judgment.
After all, Mr. Obama was among those in January 2007 who stridently opposed the surge and confidently predicted its failure – even going so far as to vote against funding our soldiers in the field unless the Bush administration abandoned this new approach. It is now clear that Mr. Obama's judgment on the surge was spectacularly wrong.
Yet rather than admit his mistake, Mr. Obama has instead tried to downplay or disparage the gains our troops have achieved in the past 12 months, clinging to a set of talking points that increasingly seem as divorced from reality as some in the Bush administration were at the darkest moments of the war.
Mr. Obama continues to insist that "Iraq's political leaders have made no progress in resolving the political differences at the heart of their civil war" – despite the passage of numerous pieces of benchmark legislation by the Iraqi Parliament and unequivocal evidence of grassroots reconciliation across the country.
Mr. Obama also continues to claim that America has "simply thrown U.S. troops at the problem, and it has not worked" – despite the dramatic reduction in violence in precisely those areas of Iraq where American forces have surged, and since handed over to Iraqi Security Forces.
And of course, Mr. Obama persists in his pledge to withdraw all combat forces from Iraq, on a fixed timeline, beginning the moment he enters office – regardless of the recommendations of our commanders on the ground, regardless of conditions on the ground, and regardless, in short, of reality.
Obama's willingness to meet with enemies like Castro, Chavez and Ahmadinejad is oft-stated and well known. How ironic that he can find no time to get to know al-Maliki and Petraeus.

I met Tazhe Cooper in 2009, when he was the Philadelphia School District's Senior of the Year, about to graduate from Furness High. He was awarded one of the district's "Grow Your Own" scholarships, given to graduating seniors who plan to pursue education careers, who pledged to make a three-year commitment to Philadelphia schools once they qualified as teachers. He had been interested in a career in education since he was a young; it seemed like a great fit.
Tazhe e-mailed me recently to say that he's been watching the district closely, and he's changed his mind about wanting to work there. "It saddens my heart that I don't want to teach in Philadelphia," he said. He elaborated in a phone conversation. He's been really rattled by the district's money problems – it has already cut more than $600 million from its 2011-12 budget, and still must slash $26 million by June. On top of that, it's facing a $186 million shortfall for next school year. Hundreds of teachers were laid off last year, though many were ultimately called back.
"I often hear student teachers saying, 'Philly is a mess. We don't want to go there. We don't want our jobs on the line every year," said Tazhe. "I don't want to give up on the district, but I'm thinking about another city. Maybe Chicago." I reminded Tazhe that urban public schools around the country are in tough spots. Still, he said, he's lost faith in his hometown system. "Everything's falling apart – bigger class sizes? Cutting nurses? When I left, it was in OK shape, but then, everything fell apart with the money, and now they're closing schools. It's really scary," he said.
When Tazhe graduated – 2009 – the district was flush with cash. It had been the recipient of federal stimulus money, plus Gov. Rendell was still in office, and that meant a historic high mark for state aid for Philadelphia. But the current School Reform Commission leader, Pedro Ramos, indicated this week that though the district was spending lots in those years, it should have been more prudent. "Bad fiscal management" is what Ramos told city Council. And as for school closings, while those are happening now – the SRC voted to close eight schools last week – it's clear that's something that should have happened a long time ago. The district has delayed closing schools for years, and now must play catchup.
Still, Tazhe feels disillusioned, cheated. And he's someone you want coming back to the district. In his education classes at West Chester, "I'm the only black guy. I'm the only one from the inner city. I bring something to the table, with my inner city experience," he said. Tazhe knows he made a commitment, and says he will honor the terms of his scholarship, but then he plans to leave – for another district, or maybe even for another career.
I keep thinking back to that conversation with Tazhe.
Even with all the problems in Philadelphia public schools, there are still amazing things going on every day – adults who make a difference, students who make a difference, who will make the world a better place. I know there are plenty of people who think Tazhe's thinking is right – that the district is to be avoided. But I know there are also plenty who think he's wrong. So I'd love to collect comments – please be polite, regardless of your views! – to send to Tazhe. What advice would you give him – give up on the district, or not? E-mail (firstname.lastname@example.com) or comment, and I'll share them with Tazhe and follow up here on the blog.

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Striking teachers in Mexico's Guerrero state attacked the offices of four political parties and a building of the state's education department Wednesday after the legislature approved an education reform without meeting their demands.
Dozens of teachers carrying sticks and stones smashed windows, spray-painted insults at President Enrique Pena Nieto on walls and destroyed computers and furniture. They set fire to the state headquarters of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party and another building.
No injuries were reported as the teachers, some masked, ran wild after a protest march in the state capital of Chilpancingo.
Minervino Moran, a spokesman for the strikers, said the attacks were in response to the approval by Guerrero's legislators of legislation similar to a recently adopted federal education law that requires teachers to be evaluated and that seeks to remove control over hiring and firing from the teachers' union.
"We as leaders and as a movement endorse these actions because there is a lot of anger, a lot of outrage with the decision the (state) congress made," said Moran, a spokesman for Guerrero state's Education Workers Union.
The 20,000-member group went on strike in Guerrero state, where the resort city of Acapulco is located, shortly after Pena Nieto signed into law the sweeping education reform two months ago. Its members have since staged increasingly disruptive protests, including blocking the main highway connecting Mexico City to Acapulco.
Guerrero Gov. Angel Aguirre said in a tweet that prosecutors had issued arrest warrants for Moran and another union leader because they were the "masterminds of the acts of vandalism that took place today."
Television footage showed teachers trashing each of the buildings without the intervention of authorities.
Aguirre told Radio Formula that police didn't try to stop the attacks because officers were busy guarding the government palace and legislature building.
The national education law was seen as Pena Nieto's first major legislative victory after taking office Dec. 1. The constitutional amendment eliminates Mexico's decades-old practice of allowing the buying and selling of teaching jobs, and replaces it with a standardized national teaching test.
That's heresy to a radical splinter union of elementary and high school teachers in Guerrero, one of the country's poorest and worst-educated states. The teachers claim the test is a plot to fire them all as a step toward privatizing education, although there is little evidence the government plans that.

Crotched Mountain honors its farming roots with tree farm honor
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent
— Crotched Mountain Foundation has been recognized for its forestry and land management practices with its recent designation from the Hillsborough County Conservation District as the 2013 Hillsborough County Tree Farm of the Year.
The rehabilitation center has had a certified tree farm for the past 27 years that includes 1,247 of woodland acres located on the southerly aspect of Crotched Mountain with portions lying within the towns of Greenfield, Francestown, and Bennington.
Crotched Mountain received the award for its commitment to providing outdoor recreation opportunities, maintaining the enjoyment of its natural beauty and maximizing the diversity of the habitat for all species.
It initially started with a commitment to observing sustainable forestry practices as well as a nod to the land's former use, said Michael Redmond, senior vice president and chief operating officer at Crotched Mountain Foundation, on Tuesday.
"This was a working farm before it was a rehabilitation campus," Redmond said.
Forester credited
Much of the credit for the recognition should go to Bob Todd, president of Todd Land Use Consultants of New Boston, who serves as the forester on the land, Redmond said.
He added that the creation of two handicapped-accessible trails on the property also contributed to the award.
Creating the trails, which are the only federally recognized accessible trails in a mountain terrain, was suggested by the Forest Society after a nature resource inventory.
Knowing that it fit with the facility's mission, Crotched Mountain created the trails, which opened in 2011.
"If we did that, it would really then tie that mission with our support for people with disabilities with the asset of our land," Redmond said.
"The administration at Crotched Mountain has a wonderful land ethic, and they truly believe in ensuring future sustainability of the land, conserving and using natural resources wisely, and creating an environment for all to enjoy for years to come," Todd said in a statement. "I like to say it's both a hospital and a school without walls, as Crotched Mountain combines traditional health care and rehabilitation therapy with the healing power of nature."

I always forget my dreams.
But a recent one I can remember is me competing in the tour de france and it ended with me having a hero sandwich. Don't know what the hell that means, but I'm sure a psychoanalyst can make something of it.
i think it was last tuesday, but i was in my neighborhood, only it was this version of my neighborhood from when i was in high school and for some reason my friend jill lived in my neighboorhood.
well, for some reason i realized i absolutely had to get to jill's to get some clothes from her house and i started running. then, i saw our mutual friend anna at my old high school bus stop. i think it's because the bus-stop now has houses built over it and the houses were being built when i was in high school. anna and i used to climb around the frames of the houses and such, but very strange that i think of the neighborhood that way cause it was only like that for a short amount of time.
anyways, she tells me i can't go to jill's cause the terminator is after me and she keeps trying to hide me. then we see the terminators in two big mac trucks racing each other down seperate streets to jill's house. i try to run, but anna pulls me back. i try to call her, but i keep dropping all my stuff and i have trouble grabbing my phone.
finally, we somehow make it to jill's only now it's magically the back side of the main building of my high school only for some reason it's a prison (go figure). and now we're all waiting in line and i'm constantly trying to hide pot while in line until jill says "it's ok, everyone's smoking!" and she hands me a bong and i wake up.
so... freaking... weird...
i dreamt I pelted Sigourney Weaver with syrupy french toast
i had a dream last night that i went to the dentist and the dentist is like, "ok smile" and i smiled and i had fucked up meth teeth.
I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
how boring.
i hope i didnt make you feel bad. just put two and two from the story.
and all of us struggle towards that goal, brother.
most recent dream i can remember: i banged my lit professor and his head was a big yellow bar of soap. i was very angry at having soap in my mouth, and his face was getting very bubbly.
i dreamt this a long time ago but it is still one of my favorite dreams ever:
i can fly but only backwards so i cannot see where i am going... i am cruising around tagging PUBLIC property (not private) and there are triangle shaped spaceships dropping bombs off in the distance (kinda like the pyramids on the back-o-dollar bills)...
put into a time context:
i was barely a teenager and grew up in the end of the cold war... i was doing drugs heavily at this time of my life and was just getting into tagging... the setting was in my own neigborhood in the coachella valley and it was around dusk and getting darker....
"conversation is a game of circles and i'm getting dizzy-- bye"
I dreamt that at some party (??) I met Zach from RATM, and he told me that Brandon's band won some contest to be the OPENING band on the mainstage for Coachella on Sunday. I got to be the messenger to break this news to Brandon, who was also in my dream. Brandon, do you even have a band now?
(just fyi, I've never met Brandon IRL).
I miss talking to TomAz.
We all do. I live in the same city as him (unless he relocated) and rumor has it that at 3:15am if you listen closely and its really really quiet you can hear him telling you to go fuck yourself.
i keep my visions to myself.
I'm only posting this because when i post after you, our signatures make it look like i'm rejecting you. for some reason i find that amusing.

goddamned lesbians. totally hot though. HOT.
i had a jet lag dream a couple of days ago involving the judges from american idol, william blake, spaceships, and time lapse photography. all i can remember from the dream is how cool it looked. crisp yet overexposed. i've never even SEEN this show they call american idol though, for what it's worth. just goes to show how pervasive and powerful our media delivery systems have become. i dream about things that i have absolutely no opinion about. either that or i'm just incredibly shallow and have no true deep feelings of my own. quite possibly both.
i would like to create a program that left random posts across the internet based on biofeedback dervived from crunching user profiles. it would be sharp and witty and totally urbane and totally PRESENT yet there would be no actual person attached to the screen name at all. i am constantly having ideas about and am consistently fascinated by things like this. identity. persona. illusion. replication. the myth of authorship. who is harvey pekar? who is mob roulette?
my new hero. here's wishing you and yours a wonderful weekend. androids dream of SLEEP.
the other nite i dreamt my best friend told me he loved me. then he kissed me and we had wild and passionate sex.
how do we make dreams become reality?...
~never turn your back on a charging turtle~
[QUOTE=mob roulette;71553 i've never even SEEN this show they call american idol [/QUOTE]
just like i've never even listened to the cold war kids. conspiracy?
i had a nightmare on the weekend. Everything was dark, like during and eclipse and somebody rang the bell, when i went to the door i could only make out the silohuete of a friend of mine, but his face was total darkness. Suddenly a really strong gust of wind slams the door against me and i am clinging by my fingernails not to be sucked into the night cause i know (in the certainty of dreams) i am dead isf i let go.
Then i woke up!
no more tacos before nap time
Last night I dreamt someone came to my house to give me vaccine shot
I dreamt tom morello let me on stage during ratms set. They had me play bass but I didn't know any of the songs and was fucking up pretty bad. I saw my friend at the barrier and pointed him out to tom and he let him come up on stage as well. A bit later I see Maynard James Keenan on stage waiting for his turn to sing. I ask him if I'm in his way and he says I'm fine where I am, I move anyway and end up standing next to a statue of a knight in armor....and thats when I knew coachella had taken over my life....

There was a time when the very word "Teamsters" evoked some pretty dark images: a bloated and notoriously corrupt union president, carried into the Teamsters convention on a gilded sedan chair by men dressed as gladiators; another mob-tied president disappearing to God-knows-where; millions in pension-fund dollars being used to build Vegas casinos and hotels; hired thugs roaming the California grape fields, beating up UFW strikers and signing sweetheart deals with the growers.
But that was then. This is now: Teamsters and turtles together, confronting corporate globalization in Seattle; Teamsters helping to lead the human rights fight against permanent normal trade relations with China and putting 5,000 members on the Capitol steps during the week of the A16 demos to prove they mean it; Teamsters, along with auto workers, refusing to join the rest of labor in an early endorsement of Al Gore and instead conducting an intricate minuet with Green presidential candidate Ralph Nader. The Teamsters, in short, making a bid to become key partners and allies in that progressive blue/green coalition that began to gel out of the gaseous clouds of the WTO protests.
Without question, the roots of this transformation of America's largest industrial union, with 1.4 million members, can be traced to an overall reactivation of labor, as well as to the Teamsters' own internal reform administrations of the past decade and, of course, to federal intervention and semi-tutelage of the union that began in 1989 as part of a massive cleanup campaign. But the transformation also shows the effect of 59-year-old James P. Hoffa, general president of the Teamsters for the past year. Some predicted an unmitigated disaster when Hoffa was elected: After all, "Junior," as Hoffa was disparagingly called by his critics, was the son of tainted Jimmy Sr.–the fabled Teamsters boss who was immortalized on the screen by Jack Nicholson and whose body, after his kidnapping, has never been found. So when Jimmy Jr. ran against reformist-backed incumbent Ron Carey, he was seen strictly as the preferred candidate of the Teamsters "barons," the comfy bureaucrats reviled by reformers.
To many, the choice at the time seemed stark and simple: Either Carey and continued reform or "Junior" Hoffa and a return to the Bad Old Days. But Carey, after becoming ensnared in a money-laundering scheme in which $750,000 in union funds washed through some Democratic-linked advocacy groups and then back into his union campaign coffers, was removed from the Teamsters presidency by a federal oversight panel and disqualified from standing for re-election. (Carey claimed he didn't know of the scheme; he was never indicted or legally sanctioned.) Hoffa's fundraising practices were also investigated; although he was fined, the violations were not deemed sufficient to disqualify him. He overcame a hastily staged campaign by reform-slate candidate Tom Leedham and won the 1998 election, formally taking office in March 1999.

Couple facing drug charges blaming man's teenage son for marijuana plantsBy JASON SCHREIBER
Union Leader Correspondent
May 11. 2013 1:05AM
BRENTWOOD - An East Kingston Planning Board member and his fiancee charged in connection with an alleged indoor marijuana growing operation are saying his 13-year-old son was the grower, police said in an affidavit.
Ikie Davis denied growing the marijuana in a police interview and pointed to his son as the culprit.
His fiancee, Kristen McManus, made the same allegation, but not initially. McManus first told police that Davis was growing the marijuana and was "just experimenting to see if he could even get the seeds to grow and what types of marijuana he could grow," according to an affidavit by East Kingston police Cpl. Mark Iannuccillo.
She also said that Davis was "not a drug dealer and that he was trying to grow marijuana so they could apply for a dispensary permit."
When police informed her that New Hampshire doesn't have dispensary permits, McManus stated that she "thought the governor was attempting to pass it," the affidavit said. McManus later changed her story and also blamed the marijuana operation on Davis' son.
Davis, 33, of 20 Andrews Lane, was arraigned Thursday on charges of manufacturing a controlled drug, possession of a controlled drug with intent to distribute and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
Penalties could be enhanced because the residence is less than 300 feet from the town's elementary school.
McManus, 40, also of 20 Andrews Lane, was arraigned Friday in the 10th Circuit Court in Brentwood after she was arrested and charged with criminal liability for conduct of another and three counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
McManus is accused of allowing Davis to grow the marijuana in the home she was renting. She and Davis are both accused of exposing children to the marijuana operation in the home.
The two were arrested after police searched the residence on Wednesday.
According to the affidavit, multiple marijuana plants and drug paraphernalia were seized.
At Friday's arraignment, McManus pleaded with the judge to set a low bail, saying she wasn't a flight risk, had no criminal history, and is a dental hygienist who's a single mother of two children living paycheck to paycheck.
"I have not even had a speeding ticket in my life," she said.
McManus also asked the judge to allow her to continue to have contact with Davis' son, saying she's been taking care of him for three years and is "in all essence a mother to him."
"I have no desire to harm a child or put them in any situation that is wrong. I have never abused a child or done anything to hurt a child. I love people. That's why I'm a health care provider," she told Judge Mark Weaver. Weaver set bail at $5,000 personal recognizance and $500 cash and ordered her to have no contact with Davis or his son.
She is due back in court June 7. Davis was ordered held on $5,000 cash bail.

Ross survived a shooting ambush in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Monday morning.
The worst kept secret in the rap world has been a dispute between Ross and the Chicago-based Gangster Disciples. Ross was apparently targeted by gang leaders after he used some of their signs, symbols and logos without paying them the required fees.
Over the past few months, gang members have posted video death threats against the rapper on YouTube. Monday, a hit squad opened fire on Ross in South Florida.
There was a spray of gunfire just before daybreak on the silver Rolls Royce being driven by rapper Rick Ross, stage name for William L. Roberts.
"Nine or 10 shots, rapid fire," said a witness. "AK-47 or pretty large rifle, it was definitely a rifle."
Fort Lauderdale police tell the I-Team that they cannot confirm nor dismiss whether the allege threats to the rap star are legitimate but that detectives are examining the forensic evidence.
Despite all the bullets, rapper Ross, celebrating his 37th birthday Monday, was not hurt and neither was his girlfriend in the car, which crashed into an apartment.
Videos claiming to have been posted by Gangster Disciple members in cities across the U.S. all say that the rapper needs to pay the gang or he will be killed.
Ross has responded to the gang threats with his own Internet statements and in interviews.
Authorities in South Florida say the motive for the attack is unclear.

David Blain, a financial adviser in New Bern, North Carolina, likes exchange-traded funds so much he's put all his clients' money in them. He also thinks individual investors trading ETFs on their own may be in for surprises when markets come under stress.
Share prices for dozens of ETFs last month strayed to their biggest discounts in a year against the published value of their holdings, or net-asset values, as investors fled stocks and bonds around the world. The price of the $362 million iShares MSCI Philippines Investable Market Index Fund swung from a 4.7% premium to a 6.1% discount and back to a 2% premium in the space of nine trading days through June 25.
"I don't think most people have any clue that the prices they're paying or selling at can veer significantly from NAV," Blain, who manages $75 million, said in an interview.
ETFs have become one of the most popular investing vehicles in the past decade, with U.S. assets surging 12-fold to $1.48 trillion, by combining the diversified market access offered by mutual funds with the tradability of a stock. Some more complex exchange-traded products, such as derivatives-based funds or those that use leverage, have recently attracted scrutiny from regulators.
'Buyer Beware'
Blain and other advisers serving small clients said recent volatility underlines why additional investors should also be wary of traditional ETFs if they invest in less liquid markets, especially as fund providers sell them aggressively as cheap and easy tools for gaining access to exotic asset-classes and regions.
"I don't know that the retail investor always comprehends that the education they're getting comes from organizations that are best served by them buying the product," said Jim Heitman, an adviser in Alta Loma, California, who manages $25 million, with about 90% of that in ETFs. "Within our current regulatory structure, it's buyer beware."
ETFs hold baskets of underlying securities and can be traded throughout the day on an exchange, like a stock. Most of the funds are designed to track an index, a key element in keeping down costs, and its underlying assets will largely match that index. The ETF's price will typically stray little from its net-asset value, or NAV. The price of the $134 billion SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust hasn't veered away from its NAV by more than 0.26 percentage point in the past year.

The Orioles avoided arbitration with one of their key pieces from 2012, agreeing to a one-year, $6.5 million deal with closer Jim Johnson on Friday, according to multiple sources.
He can receive another $50,000 in performance bonuses related to games finished. The right-handed reliever, who has been with the Orioles for his entire career, made $2.625 million in 2012.
Johnson, 29, had 51 saves in 54 chances to set the franchise's single-season saves record. He also led the major leagues in that category and posted a 2.49 ERA in 71 appearances.
In his third year of arbitration -- he has one more remaining -- Johnson had asked for $7.1 million and the Orioles had countered with $5.7 million. They basically met halfway to avoid a hearing, which would have been held in Arizona starting the week of Feb. 18.
The Orioles now have two potential arbitration cases outstanding: reliever Darren O'Day (he filed for $3.2 million and the Orioles filed for $1.8 million) and starter Jason Hammel (he filed at $8.25 million and the Orioles countered with $5.7 million).

A mas has been arrested in Colorado for allegedly stealing actor Tim Allen's car last week (begs19Nov12).
Faustino Ibarra has been accused of swiping the Home Improvement star's custom 1996 Chevy Impala from his Los Angeles home and driving it across state lines to visit his family.
And in a bizarre twist, the 34 year old is now claiming Allen is his adopted dad, who actually gave him permission to use the vehicle.
He tells Fox News, "He left the door open and he left me the keys so I could get the car and take it to Denver. He's my dad. I emailed my dad the morning that I got the car in (the garage) and everything is fine."
A spokesperson for the funnyman was unable to address the case because charges are still pending: "Since it's a police matter I cannot comment on it further."

Better Storm Forecasting
Severe thunderstorms inflict death and property loss adding up to billions of dollars a year. New weather-forecast technologies are on the horizon that will reduce this loss by giving improved warning a few hours compared to current forecasting, which if we're lucky lets us know a half-hour before a severe storm hits.
The Center for Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS) at the University of Oklahoma, Norman has over the last decade developed a number of technologies including innovative use of Doppler radar that are the foundation of the new forecast technologies. Their award-winning numerical forecast system, the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS), has already been deployed by some airlines and insurance companies.
This year, from May 13 to June 25, CAPS used LeMieux, PSC's terascale system, to produce daily forecasts at three different scales continental U.S., the south-central Great Plains states, and a storm-scale forecast for Oklahoma and southern Kansas. This experiment, carried out as part of a program called The International H2O Project, focused on implementing ARPS in the LeMieux environment. By the end of the experiment, the team had fully ported the ARPS software to LeMieux, achieving impressive daily turnarounds of little over an hour to generate a storm-scale forecast for 12 hours ahead.
PSC staff worked closely with the CAPS team to debug, optimize, benchmark and prepare software, to tune file-handling procedures, and to provide dedicated time and reservation-based scheduling. "As far as the ability of what we can do," says CAPS director Kelvin Droegemeier, "the Pittsburgh environment has been phenomenal."

A Free Energy Landscape on the Grid
For about 36 hours on May 29 and 30, researchers in California attacked a problem in protein biology with four different computer systems in three parts of the country. Special software called Legion, developed at the University of Virginia, harnessed the four diverse systems like a trained team of horses pulling one wagon. This "grid" approach to large-scale computing is the wave of the future, and this large-scale experiment - which produced important research results helped to test some of the tools and demonstrate feasibility.
Scientists Charlie Brooks and Mike Crowley at Scripps Research Institute near San Diego used the experiment to study protein folding for a protein fragment called "the engrailed homeodomain." From the fruitfly, this fragment contains much of the genetic information of much larger proteins in which it resides. Because of this, the engrailed homeodomain is of great interest to the theory of protein folding, one of the grand problems of contemporary biology.
On May 29 and 30, Brooks and Crowley carried out long sampling simulations of specific parts of the homeodomain's folding pathway to generate its "free-energy landscape," a map of how a protein changes energy in relation to changes in its 3D shape. They employed the IBM-SP "Blue Horizon" system at San Diego Supercomputer Center, a workstation cluster at the University of Virginia and two PSC systems Jaromir, the CRAY T3E, and LeMieux, PSC's terascale system. The Legion software provided an interface that allowed them to submit simulations to the system most available and to gather output from all the systems.
PSC's Collaboratory Research Project participated in the experiment. Supported through NIH's National Center for Research Resources, this project studies technologies to improve the ability of biomedical scientists at separate locations to collaborate effectively. Brooks and Crowley in California coordinated with computer scientists in Virginia, who developed the Legion software, and with consultants at PSC using collaboratory tools tested through PSC's program, including an AOL Instant Messenger chatroom.
Blood Flow and Artificial Organs
By recent estimates, 80,000 Americans are waiting for organ transplants, and 8 percent of them about 6,500 people will die waiting. "Artificial organs represent the only real hope for most of these people," says Omar Ghattas, professor of biomedical engineering and civil and environmental engineering at Carnegie Mellon. Ghattas leads the Sangria Project, a team of researchers from several universities working to overcome some of the obstacles that hinder the design of artificial heart devices.
One of the main obstacles is that current computational models of blood flow see only the forest and not the trees of this vital fluid, which up close is a mix of hemoglobin-filled cell membranes and fluid plasma. Experiments show that these up-close details make all the difference in design of artificial organs. As blood flows through artificial devices, red blood cells are often damaged, and clotting occurs that can drastically change flows.
Models of blood flow that account for these factors could avoid many false trails and potentially save years of design time, but current models, which treat blood as a homogeneous fluid, won't do the job. With an NSF Information Technology Research grant, Ghattas and co-principal investigators Guy Blelloch, Gary Miller and Noel Walkington of Carnegie Mellon and James Antaki of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center are using LeMieux, PSC's terascale system, to do what no one has done before realistically simulate blood flow at the microstructural level.
"We're making steady progress," says Ghattas, "on this very challenging problem." Initially, the group's calculations were limited to 2D approximations of a cell. They've since incorporated an elastic model of the cell membrane, and they've simulated the mechanism that's responsible for the bi-concave disk-like shape of a red blood cell in its low-energy or "resting" state. They're now directing their work toward modeling the dynamics of many thousands of cells within a fluid flow in 3D.
"We've solved the main conceptual problems," says Ghattas. With access to LeMieux, he expects such simulations will be routine within two years. "Teraflop supercomputing is essential and critical to the viability of this enterprise."

Finding the Doubly Charmed Baryon
Two charm quarks plus one up or down that's the flavoring for Mother Nature's recipe to create the "doubly charmed baryon." Predicted by modern physics' theory of fundamental particles, The Standard Model (see The Strange Flavor of Quarks), this elusive particle remained a theoretical possibility, not an observed reality, until Carnegie Mellon doctoral student Mark Mattson (now a post-doc at Wayne State) noticed something in the massive data from an experiment at Fermilab in Illinois.
Carnegie Mellon physicist Jim Russ announced the new particle findings in May. Prior to that, he and colleagues from the international team participating in the experiment called SELEX (Segmented Large X Baryon Spectrometer) spent months analyzing data to verify the result. So far it holds up to scrutiny. "By the standards of the field," says Russ, "this ranks as a discovery."
Nevertheless, Russ is collaborating with PSC to provide massive data archiving for further analysis. Steadily over six months, at an average rate of a megabyte per second, PSC transferred 15 terabytes of data into tape storage, indexed by unique file names for retrieval. "There are ways these particles decay," says Russ, "that we have to come back to with more sophisticated analysis. We have an international team, including people in Russia and Mexico. We have to package the information and get it to people at remote sites. PSC provides us with a unique capability to accomplish this."
Setting a Trap for Light
The technology of semiconductors brought us home entertainment, computers and the information age. An emerging technology called "photonic crystals" is to light what semiconductors are to electricity, and these fascinating devices promise to make an impact on 21st century communications.
"Photonic crystals," says MIT physicist John Joannopoulos, "provide what is essentially a new mechanism for controlling, confining and manipulating the properties of light." Computer chips work by exploiting energy "gaps" in layered crystals of silicon to regulate the flow of electrons, and photonic crystals do much the same for photons, the quantum constituents of light. Layers of material with differing indexes of refraction create conditions in which light can't exist at certain wavelengths and therefore is in effect trapped within the crystal. These properties can overcome some current limitations in the speed and capacity of optical fibers, and they could play an important role in creating hyperfast computing that uses light rather than electrons.
Joannopoulos and his colleagues at MIT carry out a program of laboratory research in these materials, and they have developed software designed especially to simulate their properties. Since April 2002, they've used LeMieux, PSC's terascale system, to advance their research on several photonic-crystal projects. Among this work is simulations of a phenomenon called "superlensing." Taking advantage of LeMieux, Joannopoulos' team for the first time carried out a numerical experiment demonstrating that superlensing is possible in three dimensions.
With a similar simulation in 2001, Joannopoulos and colleagues also demonstrated superlensing for the first time in two dimensions. They had been unable to do the more complex 3D simulation until LeMieux became available. "We simply couldn't do this without LeMieux," says Joannopoulos. "We tried and couldn't make it work. This machine has been absolutely fantastic, enabling us to do calculations that were previously impossible."

Recipes for Amorphous Metal
Amorphous metal isn't that an oxymoron? Metals in bulk, meaning usable forms like tin cans and steel hammers, are close-packed, regular arrangements of atoms. Like members of a three-dimensional marching band, the atoms line up at precise spacing and angles from each other, repeated over and over in a pattern called a lattice.
Modern science finds ways to do many things Mother Nature hasn't done yet and among them is creating bulk metals without a lattice structure. Called amorphous metals also known as "metallic glasses" these materials have a random atomic structure that, for reasons not well understood, gives them unique properties notably including a quality called "soft" magnetism and rust resistance. Many of them also combine strength and hardness with flexibility. Their trampoline-like springiness, for instance, makes amorphous metals the choice for the heads of high-performance golf clubs.
PSC solid-state physicist Yang Wang collaborates with Carnegie Mellon physicist Mike Widom and Oak Ridge National Lab material scientist Don Nicholson on computational simulations of these materials. Their approach uses LeMieux, PSC's terascale system, like a cooking pot to stir in a little of this, a little of that some iron, zirconium, boron, a dash of manganese and maybe some carbon. Cook it up and see what happens.
Wang employs software he helped to develop, called LSMS (Locally Self-Consistent Multiple Scattering Method), a quantum-theory based approach to calculating the electronic, magnetic and other properties of metal systems. LSMS is designed to exploit massively parallel systems like LeMieux, and in 1998 it was the first research software to achieve sustained performance exceeding a teraflop (a trillion calculations a second). On LeMieux, it runs well above four teraflops.
In collaboration with Widom and Nicholson, Wang uses LSMS to simulate various amorphous metal "recipes" and to compare the results from simulation with experiments on the same materials. Results to date show good agreement, indicating that the simulations accurately reflect reality. With further work, Wang and Widom expect to make progress toward answering deeper questions that experiments can't resolve, such as why do amorphous metals form and why do they have such interesting properties?

Jessica Shelly: Passionate producer
At a Glance
- 34,000 students
- 75% eligible for free and reduced meals
- 50,000 meals served per day
- 50% breakfast participation
- 74% lunch participation
Jessica Shelly has transformed food services at Cincinnati Public Schools by:
- Adding salad bars to every school, which has increased produce consumption and enabled the district to easily meet new meal pattern regs
- Focusing on customer service to create a bond with students
- Creating a marketing program and implementing a revamped menu to increase participation at the high schools
- Amassing a $2.7 million profit during the first year of the USDA's new meal requirements
During a trying time for school foodservice, Jessica Shelly is nothing but excited, especially about the challenges. Shelly is the food services director at Cincinnati Public Schools, which in 1898 became the first large school district to offer meals through the National School Lunch program.
"We're really making an impact. It's palpable," Shelly says. "You can see it in the kids when they come through the line and say, 'I'm so glad you have radishes back on the salad bar today.' That's the kind of shift that we're making here. It's super exciting to be part of the ride."
"Her energy and excitement are her greatest qualities," says Eric Zacarias, operations manager for the food services department. "She has a real passion for what she does. She shares it with the staff and gets them energized for change."
Salad bars
There has been a lot of change since Shelly became director in 2010. One of those changes, and the thing Shelly says she is most proud of, is getting a salad bar in every school at no cost to the district. Through grants, partnerships and donations, each of the district's 55 schools now has a salad bar.
"When salad bars were first being talked about [they were] being seen in urban, affluent school districts," Shelly says. "We were able to implement one in every school in one year. That's been a real wonderful way for us to introduce our kids to a variety of fresh vegetables every day."
Students at every level are offered an entrée, hot vegetable, two fruits, milk and a trip through the salad bar for lunch.
"When the new [USDA] regulations came out, it was so easy for us to implement [them] because we had every vegetable subgroup offered every day," Shelly recalls. "We were able to keep so many of the hot vegetables our kids love on our menus without having to sacrifice them to make sure we met all the different vegetable subgroups."
The salad bars have been so successful that Shelly attributes them to an increase in participation.
Teaching nutrition
Shelly doesn't buy into the notion that students won't try new fruits and vegetables. "I don't think the kids don't take [new fruits and vegetables] if they haven't tried them," she says. "I think they don't take them if we haven't encouraged them."
That sentiment is behind another one of Shelly's new initiatives: Mentoring Mondays. If a faculty member eats a school lunch at the table with students, Shelly gives the adult that meal for free. The goal is to get students to see their role models eating a healthy school meal, which will encourage them to do the same. "Studies have shown that in urban school districts the biggest role model in a kid's life is not the parent, it's the teacher," Shelly says. "We were looking for that influence and guidance that works so well in the classroom to work in the lunchroom."
To further that educational experience, Shelly focused on customer service training. "I don't call my workers lunchroom ladies. I call them lunchroom teachers," she notes. "I think it's infectious when your staff is proud of what they do and is confident in what they do. The kids then see how much pride they take in the service of their food. They realize that [the cafeteria workers] are doing this for them. It's a connection."

UPDATED: NH Senate, House approve voter ID plan allowing student IDs; Hassan expected to signBy JOHN DiSTASO
Senior Political Reporter
June 26. 2013 2:42PM
CONCORD -- Student identification cards are restored as a permanent valid form of identification for voting purposes under a compromise agreement approved by the New Hampshire Senate and House Wednesday and is now on its way to the governor.
The House voted 231-121 to support the committee of conference report agreed to last week. It was a strongly partisan vote, with 197 Democrats and 34 Republicans favoring changing the current law while all of those opposed to the change were Republicans.
The Senate vote was 14-10 in favor, but with the Republican majority opposing the compromise by a margin of 10-3.
Senate President Peter Bragdon, R-Milford, and Sens. Nancy Stiles, R-Hampton, and Bob Odell, R-Lempster, joined all 11 Democrats in backing the compromise. Among the Republicans who opposed the committee of conference report was Sen. David Boutin, R-Hooksett, who had been a key player in negotiating the plan and signed off on it last week.
Boutin did not speak on the Senate floor, but had told the New Hampshire Union Leader on Tuesday that he had changed his mind based on "new information," which he did not detail. Also prominently opposed to the compromise were Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley of Wolfeboro, and Sen. Andy Sanborn of Bedford, two Republicans who are considered possible contenders for higher office, such as the U.S. Senate and governor, next year.
Unexpectedly, there was little debate in the Senate on the compromise plan.
Opposing the bill was Sen. Russell Prescott, R-Kingston, who supported the current law, which eliminates student IDs as a valid form of voter ID as of September of this year and requires local officials to take photographs of those who do not present acceptable forms of ID at the voting place.
Prescott said the current law does not discourage students from voting, and the change would result in "an increased opportunity for fraud and confusion at the polls."
"As a father of five, all of whom went to college and reside or domiciled in either Manchester or Durham, I understand the issue better than most. The last thing I wanted to see was any of my children disenfranchised from voting," he said.
But Sen. Bette Lasky, D-Nashua, said, "Why would we let a small group who were removed from office in the last session, why would we let them dictate policy?"
She called it "a true and honest compromise."
In the House, Rep. Pam Tucker, R-Greenfield, said the plan "will weaken our law and dilute your vote."
But Rep. Gary Richardson, D-Hopkinton, defended the compromise, charging, "The paranoia and hysteria and misinformation about this bill is absolutely rampant."
Gov. Maggie Hassan's spokesman on Tuesday said she belives the current law should be fully repealed, "but she appreciates that the compromise reached by the Legislature will save local communities the burden of costs for cameras, prevent long lines at the polls, and alleviate confusion about permissible forms of identification."
Earlier this year, the Democratic-led House originally restored all student IDs in its version of House Bill 595, but the Republican-controlled Senate removed them, effective Sept. 1, instead proposing to leave it up to local officials to judge whether forms of identification not specifically on a honed-down statutory list are legitimate.
But the Senate GOP appeared to change its position on student IDs at the committee of conference table, agreeing to restore student IDs and putting off the requirement of having local officials taking photos of challenged voters until September 2015.
Conservatives complained that the Senate GOP had "caved-in" to the House Democrats.
The plan that passed the Senate and House Wednesday specified that the "valid student identification card" must include a photo and be issued by "a college, university, or career school in New Hampshire and approved to operate or licensed to operate in New Hampshire."
The committee of conference report also specified that identification cards issued by the state university system and Dartmouth College are also acceptable.
Also acceptable under the proposal are cards issued by any public high school in the state or non-public high schools "accredited by a private school accrediting agency that is recognized" by the state Department of Education.
In addition to student IDs, the proposal would continue to require a driver's license, an armed services identification card, or a United States passport or passcard.
The agreement also allows local election officials to verify the identity of any prospective voter who does not present a valid ID.
Any voter whose identity is challenged must fill out a challenged voter affidavit swearing to his or her identify. A requirement under the current law that local officials must take a photograph of anyone who does not present a valid ID and as a result fills out a challenged voter affidavit would be put off until after September 2015 under the committee of conference report.
But legislation is expected to be filed next year to remove the photo-taking requirement permanently.
In the House, Rep. Dick Marston, R-Manchester, said the bill began "as a bad piece of legislation and the amendment only makes it woefully worse."
"Any rightful voter who forgets his ID would not object to having his picture taken," he said. "I wouldn't."
Rep. Dan Itse, R-Fremont, said the "zeal" to broaden the means of allowing people to vote is "a mere political ploy, a sham, a roues, unless we carry out with equal zeal the desire to protect the value and integrity of that vote."
Rep. George Lambert, R-Litchfield, said the four forms of valid voter ID under current law "is the same requirement for purchasing alcohol."
Republican Tucker said that during the last election, there were a total of 4,250 challenged voter affidavit verification letters sent by the state that were either returned undeliverable or not returned at all.
"In our small House districts, a few votes really do matter. Some of us could very well be here fraudulently," Tucker said.
Democrat Richardson said that with the Attorney General's Office following up on the unreturned letters, "It does not make any sense to go into the second phase of this laws to go to the second phase of this law."
Richardson also said there were only 374 letters that were returned undeliverable, adding, "There has been absolutely no fraud that has been proven anywhere. We should not be doing anything to deprive people of that right (to vote) until there is a proven need to do so."
He called the bill "a vast improvement over what we have right now."
