Most high schools and colleges combine swimming and diving into one sport, and they are part of the same meets.
But in reality, the two are more different than the same.
"Truly, the only thing we have in common with swimmers is chlorinated water," Arapahoe dive coach Jeff Smith said. "We are entirely separate sports."
Swimmers perform certain strokes and the athlete with the fastest time is the winner. Divers, meanwhile, have a set of dives with degrees of difficulty and are awarded scores by judges.
"Swimmers have more patience," said Susan Welch, an assistant diving coach who works with the teams in the Adams 12 Five Star district. "Divers have to face their fears more often."
Divers usually have separate practices and different coaches than athletes on the swim team. Divers often appear like placekickers in football, off to the side.
"Outside of high school, diving is really a separate sport from swimming," said Cherry Creek dive coach Grant Robinson. "It depends on the program. At Cherry Creek, we like to incorporate the team unity between the two different sports."
For divers, as with football kickers, there is also a high degree of pressure to perform.
"Swimmers are better known, they have more events," said Ralston Valley freshman Izzy Gregersen, one of the state's top divers. "We get like one time."
The pressure is not just to score well, but also to not get injured.
"Out of all the sports, when you are sinking a last-second free throw or kicking a field goal, there is no risk involved in some of those activities," Ralston Valley diving coach Kevin Sage said. "In diving, you can really mess yourself up if you lose your awareness of where you are at, you can really do some damage. It's the same way with gymnastics."
Flipping the script
The divers in Class 5A with the five highest scores so far this season are all former gymnasts. They are sophomore Ally Brown, who competes for Horizon; junior Franny Cable, of Arapahoe; senior Sam Tamborski, of the Douglas County/Castle View team; Gregersen; and sophomore Addie Perlmutter, of Cherry Creek.
Many of the twists, turns and tucks of diving relate to gymnastics, but they do require some adjustments.
"What it takes to be a good diver is you have to have good balance and be a little bit crazy," Smith said. "You have to be a little crazy to go up there spinning, have good kinesthetic awareness to where you are upside down and twisting in the air. You have to know where your body is, as well as where every part of your body is, so you can manipulate it properly in order to execute a good dive."
Perlmutter said diving "corresponds" to gymnastics, but there is at least one big difference.
"You have to land on your head (in diving)," she said. "It took me a few months, but there are some things where I still have my old gymnastics habits. It took a few months to get used to landing on my head."
In top form
The proper mechanics and mental approach are crucial in diving.
Cable has set numerous school and pool diving records this season. She gave up gymnastics before her freshman year, took a beginning diving class and has developed into one of best divers in the state.
"It took me a long time to get the concept of landing on my head," said Cable. "There is always room for major improvements. There's always room for new dives."
Tamborski concedes it takes time to become a good diver and master the mental side of the sport.
"You have to have drive, really want to work hard to get good and listen to your coach," she said. "It takes a long time to learn. I've been diving for five years. I still have more things to learn.
"It is absolutely a mental game. You really have to focus if you mess up a dive or it didn't go the way you wanted. You have to focus and do better so you can make up for it."
Divers' abilities and fearlessness garner them the appreciation of their teammates.
Delaney Smith, no relation to coach Smith, is a senior swimmer at Arapahoe. She has committed to swim at UCLA and admits it has taken her a while to appreciate diving.
"I don't understand how they twist in the air," she said. "I've basically only seen diving in high school. I see it some when I watch the Olympics. I know they start practicing before we start practicing.
"They always have a lot of respect for what we are doing, and we have a lot of respect for them because I honestly would be so scared doing a flip in the air."

It's just this was yet another trust destroying fail on the part of Ubisoft/Massive. When we're told Massive are looking at this and that etc, or that Massive listen to what the community are asking for; it's hard to believe it all when simple truths get omitted from what are important announcements which affect a lot of players.
So no ill will towards yourself or the community team.
There is a huge difference between having disdain for someone or their opinion and trolling anyone who doesn't agree with you. The difference consists of feeling the need to insult those with whom you disagree. Read through this entire thread, and count the number of times you have felt it necessary to answer someone's complaint about the nerf with insults. It has gone beyond fanboy into the realm of troll. So please, take a pill and step away from the computer. Massive doesn't need you to defend every attack on its decision making. I'm not posting this to upset you, but just to lower the angry response level of the forums in whole and this thread in particular.
Merriam-Webster defines fanboy as: a boy or man who is an extremely or overly enthusiastic fan of someone or something.
and a troll as: make a deliberately offensive or provocative online posting with the aim of upsetting someone or eliciting an angry response from them.
The X-45 pistol has higher per bullet damage then my G36 now, why not nerf that too? In addition even my pre patch 1.3 GS182 Black Market AK-74 outputs the exact same damage. Seriously??
I have been generally patient with the developers,and quite content with the lower gear stuff as I do not play with groups, the Incursions nor go into the DZ. You might even say that I am resigned to the idea of ever properly gearing up. My routine consists of attempting the first 2 (easiest) HVTs, the daily missions maybe venturing into the Underground once in a while. The rest of the time I wander around the light zone collecting crafting materials to sacrifice to RNGesus. Your crafting nerf hurt big time and effectively shut me out.
The G36 was my first GS204 weapon. I got lucky picking it up from my fourth Underground mission. The base damage of 11.6K (baffles me why the devs would call it OP) inspired me to take on harder challenges and surviving against level 32 veterans became a possibility. You nerfed it now and I am back to square one again.
For the advocates of "git gud". Fact is majority of gamers are casual with pretty average skills. The so called "OP" weapons is a stepping stone to encourage players to attempt higher levels encounters vs the overly spongy NPCs.
They are so terrified of the hardcore gamer....and every change they make to the game is calculated to SLOW THEIR progression through the game.....that they are slowly pushing everyone else out of the game.
If pple want dificulty they can try the "heroic" content with 191GS sets and 163GS weapons.... so making the gearing-up slow and difficult is purpose less in a grind game. It makes pple stop playing, and not playing longer.
Change the DZ to a PvP arena with team vs team content so that the 1% could still have fun, and leave the rest gear up their way with a more friendly content.
Skill as experience in gaming aiming and so on.
In this game it's who has the best gear sets with attributes and thats it.
I have played a lot of these first person shooter games and my skill on aiming is decent.
And i always play fps game on hard core mode if they have it.
Where you get killed by one-two shots and kill others the same way.
In these games come to play how skilled you are. But in this one you have to many things to take in account.
First of all you cant choose a server and you dont see the ping you have in that server.
I mostly get a lag servers and it's not cause i have bad connection or forwarded ports.
It's how this game is built.
For me game is not fun when i need to be in cover only and cant stick my head out cause i get instantly shot dead by
many different npc's that have unlimited pulse on and dont have walls that stop bullets. They have no recoil and are extremely
acuurate. They even run trough walls and doors.
For me game is fun when i have challenge but i wont be shot dead that easy.
I cant play solo these missions that are heroic cause there are to many npc's that sponge bullets.
Cause taking one bot out takes to long and there will be already rushing bots from behind and from any directions with waves.
I would be fine if they make level 32 or even 33 bots in numbers for the difficulty but i wont need to shoot 107 bullet mags from pp-19 and still have not scratched the surface.
And i am not going to talk about PVP cause i dont play it in division cause it's simply boring.
You either get ganked from behind or your running behind the rogues till there timer goes out.
While your shooting the rogues behind there timer will not get longer nor does it stop.
It will still count down. And when there timer is up then you need to go rogue.
I just dont like the concept of the PVP and especially thanks for the system of gear score that is totally useless.
You can have 255GS but your stats can be 100K DPS 150K toughness and loads of skill.
In PVP you basically need to build for DPS so you can take the other player out faster.
I have tried to balance my gear stats so i have 200K DPS 400K toughness and 20K skill so that skill's would work
like over heal when used will over heal to even when your screen is pulsing red.
As with the 1.3 stealth nerfing they did with the med kits what cured your full life 3 pars and now heal only one and half par
that renders med kits useless cause they have cool downs.
In DZ when your running towards supply drop you need to run past cruising bots that shoot you and your med kit does nothing and then you need to use skill to to over heal yourself.

No news on new bishop for Bridgeport
BRIDGEPORT -- There has been "absolutely no news and even very little rumor" on a successor to Bishop William E. Lori as head of the Diocese of Bridgeport, spokesman Brian Wallace said Wednesday.
The arrival of a new pope, Francis, to replace Pope Benedict XVI, may or may not delay the appointment, Wallace said. "Those who think they know something don't," the spokesman said.
Monsignor Jerald A. Doyle continues as temporary administrator, overseeing the day-to-day operations. He was elected by the 11-member diocesan College of Consultors last May and will serve until a new bishop is named.
Lori left last April to become archbishop of Baltimore. He remains the national chaplain of the Knights of Columbus and has traveled to its New Haven headquarters several times in the past year, officials said.
Lori is one of several high church officials likely to be consulted on the choice of a new spiritual leader for the Bridgeport Diocese, which has 82 priests serving more than 400,000 Roman Catholics. The pope has the authority to appoint a candidate of his own or to confirm one of those who have been recommended, Wallace said.
Doyle, 68, a Bridgeport native, has been Lori's second-in-command since 2007. No new initiatives will be instituted during the administrator's tenure, and Doyle does not have the full authority of a bishop, church officials said.
Appointment of a new bishop can take a year or more, "so we're not outside the usual time frame," Wallace said Wednesday.

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
Federal Agency Says Hospital Subjected Employee to Sexually Abusive Comments and Propositions, Then Fired Her for Complaining
ROCK ISLAND, Ill. - Trinity Medical Center in Rock Island, Ill., violated federal law when it permitted the sexual harassment of an employee and then fired her for complaining about it, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it filed today.
According to EEOC, the administrative investigation it conducted prior to the lawsuit revealed that Deborah Chisholm had been subjected to hostile, abusive and lewd comments and had complained repeatedly to management. Instead of addressing the problem, the EEOC said, the company terminated her in retaliation.
Sexual harassment and retaliation for complaining about it violate Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit in U.S. District Court for the Central District of Illinois, Rock Island Division, after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its conciliation process. The suit is captioned EEOC v. Trinity Medical Center, C.D. Illinois No. 4:12-cv-4085 and has been assigned to District Judge Sara Darrow. The EEOC seeks back pay, compensatory and punitive damages, and an injunction prohibiting harassment and discrimination in the future.
"Trinity brought its current troubles upon itself," said John Rowe, the EEOC's district director in Chicago, who managed the investigation. "First, it permitted the sexual harassment, then it compounded that problem by firing the victim who, rightfully, was complaining."
John Hendrickson, the EEOC's regional attorney in Chicago, said, "Employers ought to learn from this case. Any employment discrimination problem -- sexual harassment or anything else -- can always be made worse and more injurious to the conduct of the employer's business. Retaliation is guaranteed to do that. It never makes sense, it is never good for business, and it is always illegal."
The EEOC's Chicago District Office is responsible for processing discrimination charges, administrative enforcement and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing federal laws against employment discrimination. Further information is available at www.eeoc.gov.

WATG unveils design for Grand Hyatt Kuala Lumpur
The Seattle office of international destination design firm Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo (WATG) is the design architect for the Grand Hyatt, a 40-storey five-star hotel and mixed-use development in downtown Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. One of the more notable design features of the project will be the hotel lobby. Instead of being on the ground level, it will be at the top of the building. When guests enter the building to check in, they will ride the express lifts to the lobby where impressive 360-degree views of downtown Kuala Lumpur will greet them. The building will also hold service apartments and offices. The contemporary hotel is currently in the design development phase, and is scheduled to open to the public in December of 2010. Since its founding in 1945, WATG has specialized in hospitality, leisure and entertainment design from its offices worldwide.

First and fourth ingredients are named meat products.
Insufficient meat content, use of low quality grain fragments, fat of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler.
The first ingredient in the food is a named meat product, but this is turkey inclusive of water content. Once this is removed, as it must be to make a dry food product, the ingredient will weigh around 20% of its wet weight. It is thus very unlikely that this is the true first ingredient in the food, and it would be more accurately placed much further down the ingredient list and does not comprise a substantive contribution to the food. There is a further named meat ingredient fourth on the ingredient list and this is likely to be the main meat ingredient in the food. It is thus unlikely that there is any appreciable meat content in the food.
This is a food based primarily on cereals. The main grains are brewers rice and corn gluten meal. Brewers rice is a low quality grain and by-product. Corn is difficult for dogs to digest and the cause of many allergy problems. The AAFCO definition for corn gluten meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that which remains after all the nutrititious bits have been removed. Barley is a decent quality grain.
Animal fat is an ingredient of unspecified origin, and an ingredient we prefer never to see in dog food as it may contain anything. Such unspecified ingredients are invariably very low quality.
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs in the food, rather than dried egg product, but appreciate the inclusion of a small range of vegetables.

There are some christians who will insist on being STUPID ... in the face of fact, in the face of reality, in the face of the event RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM, they will DEMAND the right to be stupid ... right up to the point where their stupidity KILLS THEM.
This is what is called a failure to adapt to circumstances...
Not only will the poor but also the ignorant and stupid will always be with us..(yes I plagiarized it form Mark 14:7)
We'll always have problems as long as people consider faith to be a badge of honor.
My wife, who I have promised, and do continue to love, is catholic. She has made comments to others about my lack of imagination. I don't apologize for not imagining things indistinguishable from fantasy. Sorry...
Oh my. Is it any wonder our kids score lousy in math and science and are lagging behind other nations? It's absolutely embarrassing! Personally, I just could never live in such a state of denial!

According to a report from Josh Topolsky at The Verge, Gabe Newell and Valve are working on a new gaming console for the living room that's compatible with Steam in addition to the Origin game download service created by Electronic Arts. According to sources within the company, Valve demoed the hardware to a select group of partners while at the Consumer Electronics Show during January 2012. Designed to play current titles released for the personal computer, the "Steam Box" utilizes a NVIDIA GPU, 8GB of RAM and a Core i7 CPU. It's also likely that the Steam Box will offer a HDMI connection as a standard option due to the popularity of the format on high definition televisions.
In addition, the hardware specifications would be upgraded at a specific date allowing game developers to plan for upcoming releases. According to the source, this life cycle could be as quick as three to four years. Compared to other gaming consoles, the Nintendo Wii is approaching its six year anniversary with the Wii U targeted during the fourth quarter of 2012. If a new version of the Xbox hardware is released during late 2013, that would mark an eight year life of the Xbox 360.
In addition to the speedy life cycle of the Steam Box, developers won't be charged any licensing fees to create software for the platform and there's no developer kit required since it's on the PC platform. However, developers would still be charged a fee to sell the software through the Steam software platform.
Valve is apparently reaching to to partners to develop the new gaming hardware for the living room. According to an interview with Newell, he stated "We'd rather hardware people that are good at manufacturing and distributing hardware do hardware. We think it's important enough that if that's what we end up having to do, then that's what we end up having to do." However, Valve would build plenty of software to support the Steam platform on the new gaming system.
During May 2011, Valve filed a patent for a video game controller with "swappable control components" that would allow the player to alter parts on the gaming controller based on the type of game. While it's unclear if this controller will be used with the upcoming Steam Box, the ability to alter parts may help PC gamers transition from the traditional keyboard and mouse control system. However, the keyboard and mouse setup could also be supported easily with the simple inclusion of support for wireless peripherals connected through a USB dongle.
There's currently no information regarding the inclusion of a hard drive within the Steam Box. This could point to cloud gaming similar to OnLive's strategic direction that delivers a video and audio feed of the game through a network connection. If a hard drive is included within the Steam Box, the device could branch out beyond gaming and move into the territory of digital video recorders like TiVo. Even without a hard drive, it could easily support Internet video similar to the Boxee Box.
That would also challenge Apple's upcoming revision of the Apple TV rumored to be discussed during the Apple iPad 3 presentation on March 7. However, Valve would have to work with services like Netflix, Hulu Plus and Vudu to enable several media options prior to the release of the Steam Box. According to Topolsky's sources, the Steam Box may be revealed next week at the Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco, California. However, Valve may also wait until E3 during June to officially release details on the Steam Box.

Filmmaker Nick Suclescy will debut his oddball comedy, The Tequila Renaissance, May 11 at Studio 35 in Clintonville.
Filmmaker Nick Suclescy will debut his oddball comedy, The Tequila Renaissance, May 11 at Studio 35 in Clintonville.
The offbeat short film, which runs about 30 minutes, will begin at 1:05 p.m. May 11 at the theater, 3055 Indianola Ave. Admission is free and open to all ages.
Suclescy, a German Village resident, said the plot centers on two mob hit men, Alexander Sagittarius (Caleb Shiff) and Napoleon Capricorn (Brogan Smith), who are asked to sit for their boss. When they arrive at the house, they find the boss' wife, a famous painter, dead in a chest.
Before Sagittarius and Capricorn have a chance to react, a bumbling detective appears on the scene, along with an art dealer and his assistant.
"Hilarity ensues after that," Suclescy said.
He said the movie takes its cue from the fast-paced comedies of the 1930s and '40s, using rapid-fire dialogue, slapstick humor, cartoonish characters and exaggerated sound effects.
He wrote, directed and co-produced the movie on a shoestring budget of around $8,000. His friend Lynn Padetha served as co-producer and director of photography.
Local actors dedicated their talents free for the movie, which was filmed in six days over the winter at his mother's Thurman Avenue house and in Schiller Park.
Suclescy said he plans to enter the short in several independent film festivals. The goal is to use the characters and plot as a backdrop for a full-length feature.
Suclescy, 24, graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in English and a minor in film studies.
"I've wanted to be a film director since I was 12 years old," said the Bishop Hartley High School graduate. "I really don't have a backup plan."
He has created a number of other short films over the years, including Garden of Sleep in 2006, and Phantasmic Revival, a horror short, was screened at Studio 35 in June 2011.
Suclescy works part time at the Thurman Cafe, which his great-grandfather, also named Nick Suclescy, founded in 1942. The restaurant also catered the meals during the filming of The Tequila Renaissance.

Scientists of the "Inner Space Speciation Project"—an expedition to look for new species in Southeast Asia's Celebes Sea—used a wide range of methods to sample ocean life.[ MORE ]
Different tools and techniques work best to sample different kinds and sizes of organisms. Their tools and techniques ranged from simple and low-tech-scuba divers using jars to capture delicate creatures—to sophisticated tools that use laser light to visualize small animals. (Photo by Michael Aw) [ LESS ]
Lying just north of the equator, the Celebes Sea is the center of the most biologically diverse area of the world's ocean. The Inner Space Speciation Project expedition began in the port of Manila (top center) and went south through the Sulu Sea to a study site southeast of the Sulu Archipelago, where the ocean bottom falls off abruptly to the seafloor thousands of meters below.[ MORE ]

WHOI biologist Larry Madin carries a dark red jellyfish to the ship's laboratory refrigerator, during a cruise in October 2007 to study life in the cold deep water of the Celebes Sea. When deep-sea animals collected with the ROV were brought to the tropical surface, they went directly into a cold environment.[ MORE ]
Madin was one of several specialists on gelatinous animals (such as jellyfish) who participated in the cruise, along with Madin's graduate school adviser William Hamner. (Photo by Emory Kristof, National Geographic Society) [ LESS ]
Research cruises in remote oceans can take years of planning and assistance from people who know the area. Caron De Mars, the environment, science, technology, and energy officer at the U.S. Embassy in Manila, aided the Celebes Sea expedition team in getting all the necessary clearances and permits from the Philippines government, making contacts with scientists there, and setting up school visits and programs.[ MORE ]
"Not only that," said expedition co-leader Larry Madin, "she was an enthusiastic diver and a great addition to the cruise. (Photo by Emory Kristof, National Geographic Society) [ LESS ]
The Video Plankton Recorder (VPR) is an imaging system towed behind the ship that captures video images of very small plankton. On this expedition, Cabell Davis, WHOI biologist and director of the WHOI Ocean Life Institute, tested a new holographic instrument that uses laser light to create digital holograms of plankton.[ MORE ]

As the Celebes Sea expedition team watched the video feed from their ROV of the seafloor very deep and very far from shore, they were unpleasantly surprised. At 2,800 meters (1.74 miles) deep, the vehicle came upon an unnatural hill of human-made trash and garbage that had collected there from above, presumably due to currents and the steep slope.[ MORE ]
Halfway through the Celebes Sea expedition, the ship stopped near a nearby island to take on provisions. Local officials, university faculty, the diving club, and a cultural troupe of dancers and musicians came out to the ship, where U.[ MORE ]
S. and Filipino scientists spoke about the cruise and the area's biodiversity, and dancers and musicians performed amid winches and cranes on the crowded deck. [ LESS ]
Scientists captured this pink, transparent sea cucumber, an animal related to sea stars and sea urchins, about 2,500 meters (1.55 miles) deep in the Celebes Sea. It consumes food on the seafloor, then uses the wing-like collar around the front of its body to "fly" off the bottom up into the water.[ MORE ]
This one has had a recent meal, as seen in its full gut. (Photo by Larry Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) [ LESS ]
The deep ocean is a dark environment where the only light come from bioluminescent animals, those that produce light that may help them find mates or lure food. But what if a transparent animal eats a luminescent animal that then flashes in the predator's stomach? Would that advertise its whereabouts to larger hungry animals? Scientists believe that many deep-sea animals, like this jellyfish, have red pigment around their stomachs to keep their prey's light from escaping.[ MORE ]
Looking like a collection of bubbles, this pyrosome (the name means "fire body") is a cylindrical colony, 7 centimeters (2.75 inch) long, made up of individual animals (the "bubbles".[ MORE ]
) Each tiny individual animal pumps water through its body, filtering out food and propelling the brightly luminescent colony forward. (Photo by Larry Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) [ LESS ]
Expedition scientists collected this 3-centimeter (1.25-inch) isopod, a relative of land-based pill bugs, 2,000 meters (1.25 miles) deep in the Celebes Sea, using a collection chamber mounted on a remotely operated vehicle.[ MORE ]
It uses its very long legs to "crawl" through the water. (Photo by Larry Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) [ LESS ]
Most jellyfish are so fragile that they are destroyed when collected with a plankton net. Scuba divers carried collecting bags filled with glass jars to collect delicate animals near the surface, such as these Aequorea jellyfish.[ MORE ]
They look like space stations, but actually are colonial forms of single-celled organisms called radiolarians, collected in the deep Celebes Sea. The white blobs are individual cells, and the geodesic dome-like structure is the architectural structure of the colony.[ MORE ]
Radiolarians make such structures out of glass-like slivers of silica. (Photo by Larry Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) [ LESS ]
With the ROV, scientists found this 15-centimeter (6-inch) ctenophore, a diaphanous relative of jellyfish, drifting just above the bottom of the Celebes Sea, about 2,500 meters (1.55 miles) deep. Ctenophores living near the surface are transparent, but this rare, undescribed, deep species is almost entirely black.[ MORE ]

When the marine biologists on the Celebes Sea expedition discovered this extraordinary worm they knew they had something different. They soon gave it a temporary name: "Squidworm," because of its squid-like tentacles.[ MORE ]
It turned out to be a species new to science. (Photo by Larry Madin, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) [ LESS ]
After a nighttime descent to deep water of the Celebes Sea to take video and samples, the MaxRover ROV, which normally came up alongside the ship, needed an assist to get back on board. The ROV crew scrambled to set out from the research ship in an inflatable boat in the dark of night, but soon floated over brilliant lights from the ROV below.[ MORE ]
Scientists searching for new species in the Celebes Sea employed a wide range of equipment, including the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) called "MaxRover Global Explorer" to depths of 3,000 meters (1.[ MORE ]
86 miles) to survey life in the deep water and near the ocean floor. Descending through the blue Celebes Sea, the ROV, owned by Oceaneering International, Inc., was equipped with a high-definition video camera and collecting chambers in which creatures in the water could be captured. (Photo by Michael Aw) [ LESS ]
Where the Indian and Pacific Oceans meet lies a region known as the "coral triangle"—a region of thousands of islands encompassing the Philippines, Indonesia, parts of Malaysia. and other nations. Surrounding the islands are warm, shallow seas that separate deep ocean basins that drop down to as much as 5,000 meters.
Scientists think that distinct, new species may have evolved in these isolated basins, separated by warm shallow barriers, with species differing from one basin to the next. One of these basins is the Celebes Sea—east of Borneo, north of Sulawesi, and south of Zamboanga—a remote destination that may be home to the greatest marine biodiversity on Earth and that few scientists have had a chance to explore.
The coral triangle's deep basins lie within several countries' economic zones, so securing required governmental permissions, contracting for a research ship, and the logistics of shipping equipment needed for exploration involved negotiations that took years to complete.
Finally, a four-week expedition led by Larry Madin, a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and National Geographic Society senior photographer Emory Kristof was launched aboard the Philippine vessel Hydrographer Presbitero in September 2007. A team of U.S. and Filipino marine scientists embarked on the "Inner Space Speciation Project," supported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Office of Ocean Exploration, the National Geographic Society, the WHOI Ocean Life Institute, and the New England Aquarium.
To their delight, but not to their surprise, the researchers found previously unknown species.

Evening classes canceled Feb. 7, 2018. Learn more.
Home | Academics | Our Schools | Conservatory of Performing Arts | Conservatory News & Features
Alumnus Jonathan Freeland — who is currently performing in the North American Tour of West Side Story — hosted a master class on campus with Conservatory of Performing Arts students to teach choreography from the show.
Current role: Male jet/shark swing, North American Tour of West Side StoryDegree earned at Point Park: B.A. in musical theatre with a minor in dance, 2013Hometown: Powder Springs, Ga.Now living in: Brooklyn, N.Y.Hobbies/interests: Songwriting, photography, graphic design and anything having to do with coffee.
I approached teaching the song ("Cool" from West Side Story) in nearly the same way I learned it during the audition process. Because the piece I taught is just as driven by the acting as it is by the movement, I wanted to make sure that the students understood the meaning behind each piece of choreography. The class wasn't just about learning steps, but really about being able to apply the training the students receive in their acting classes, just as much as the technical training they receive in their dance classes. The class was great!
The program really speaks for itself when one looks at the graduates. The fact that there are so many working in the field (on national tours, on Broadway and some of the most famous stages in the world) was a huge draw for me. I also loved the number of opportunities both in and outside of school that I would be able to take advantage of as a student. I also loved that the school was located in an urban area, and it actually made the move to New York City much easier. As a senior, I was allowed to audition in New York City which proved to be invaluable for me to assess my readiness and prepare accordingly while still under the guidance of the faculty.
It was the perfect setting for me personally since the city is so inundated with theater. If there was anything artistic that I wanted to seek out, I felt I could find it in Pittsburgh.
My first year at Point Park, I was required to crew two productions where I learned what it takes to make a production run smoothly, and in the long run gave me a much greater appreciation for how much teamwork truly goes into making any given performance a success. My first show with the Conservatory Theatre Company was Thoroughly Modern Millie and I was cast in the ensemble. While it was not a leading role, it gave me a chance to learn how the professional process was conducted.
I don't think I really appreciated how lucky I was to work with the artists I did at Point Park until I had graduated. These are, by far, some of the best at their craft of any industry professionals I have worked with to date. I can, without a doubt, attribute my professional successes to the training I received from the staff and the numerous guest directors I had the pleasure of working with during my time as a student.
I would have to say that the best thing I did while at Point Park was stretch myself to the absolute limit in every facet of the arts that I possibly could. For example, when I wasn't taking class or in rehearsal, I was writing and recording my own music which opened doors I would have never known existed otherwise. Only you can limit yourself when you are receiving such amazing training.

If you're out of work, there's one major factor that can predict how successful you're likely to be in your job hunt: the length of time since you last held a job—with an almost mystical dividing line setting in at the six month period. A recent article in the Atlantic reported on a study that examined the callback rates to interviews for a set of fake resumes where the only major difference was the duration since the "candidate" had become unemployed. Here's the article's author, Matthew O'Brien, on the study's findings:
"Employers prefer applicants who haven't been out of work for very long, applicants who have industry experience, and applicants who haven't moved between jobs that much. But how long you've been out of work trumps those other factors […] People with relevant experience who had been out of work for six months or longer got called back less than people without relevant experience who'd been out of work shorter. […] As long as you've been out of work for less than six months, you can get called back even if you don't have experience. But after you've been out of work for six months, it doesn't matter what experience you have."
To get a sense of the scale of the problem, consider last month's BLS data: among the 7.6 percent of the working age population who were reported as unemployed last month, almost 40 percent of the total—some 4.6 million Americans—had been out of work for more than 27 weeks. Combine that with the data from the Atlantic, and the picture is scary: around 3 percent of the working-age population in this country is facing a challenge not just to find open jobs, but a much bigger handicap in the form of employer discrimination at the hiring level.
So what can you do?
While it's undoubtedly difficult for the long-term unemployed to find work, it's not impossible—especially with the economy continuing to show slight improvement. Here are a few tips for getting your foot back into the door:
1. Rework your resume
If the first thing on your resume is a "recent experience" section that is, well, not recent, you're starting off on the wrong foot. Try reworking your resume so that it focuses more on the skills that you possess and the value you can create, rather than a straight chronological listing of employers.
2. Fill those holes
Another way to update your resume is to gain some new skills or experiences to include on it—things that you can do even without spending a ton of additional money. Anything you can add that highlights a commitment to being engaged and using your time for self-development—from an online class to a volunteer position with a local charity organization, or even a company you're interested in working for—will help you to stand out.
3. Make connections—and use them
Problem number one in the job-seeking community is making it past the initial resume screen to get to the people who can actually make a decision about whether to hire you or not. The best way to do that: networking, both physically and virtually. Getting an introduction to someone—whether via LinkedIn or a neighbor—is a much more efficient way of getting companies to see you as a person with useful skills, instead of a date on a page.
4. Get your story straight
Make no mistake, if you make it to an interview, you will be asked about the reason for your extended period out of the workforce. A simple statement like "my position was eliminated at my last job, and I took some time to consider my options and figure out what I really wanted to do next" sounds a lot better than "I haven't been able to find anything because the job market is awful," even if the latter is the truth.

Author Notes: I used to be a soda jerk. The soda fountain I tended was a quaint fixture in the drugstore in Western Massachusetts where thirsty New Yorkers would hop off the Peter Pan bus that had escorted them out of the city and into the heart of the Berkshires on hot summer weekends. It was even quainter in their urban eyes because even into the early 1990s they could still get any one of 16 flavors of fountain soda for just 16 cents. This particular combination -- raspberry and lime -- was a winner with those parched travelers because it is so refreshing. I no longer pump the syrup from the chrome canister behind the counter. I make my own as the base for this thirst buster. - cheese1227 —cheese1227
Food52 Review: A great drink -- the raspberry just flirts with sweetness and the lime gives the drink a brisk, snappy conclusion. We wouldn't change a thing. - A&M —The Editors
Serves: four, 10-ounce beverage
ounces frozen red raspberries
cups sugar
Zest of two limes
Juice of two limes
ounces Sparkling water
Thin slices of lime for garnish
- Combine raspberries, sugar and zest in a saucepan and place over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the berries dissolve and the sugar melts. Only let it boil for 2-3 minutes as you don't want jam. After that time, take the syrup off the heat and let cool slightly. Strain the syrup.
- Fill a tall glass by half with ice. Pour 3 to 4 tablespoons of the syrup over the ice. Squeeze the juice of half a lime into the glass. Fill the glass to the top with sparkling water and garnish with a lime slice or two.
- Serve with a straw so that the drinker has the choice of either stirring or getting lots of syrup in the first sip (that latter is still my preference!).

Kate Gosselin's media-thon continues.
The original octomom and "Dancing" star has scored another TV gig, with Gosselin set to appear opposite Mary Hart as co-host on a special Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, Usmagazine.com reports.
News of Gosselin's ET appearance comes as the 35-year-old reality star escaped elimination from "Dancing With the Stars" on Tuesday despite having earned the lowest marks from judges of all competitors.
The celebrity mom is also set to star in a new TLC series "Twist of Kate" later this summer, capping a whirlwind return to the airwaves since the dissolution of her marriage ended "Jon & Kate Plus 8" last November.
On Tuesday, Gosselin opened up about her life in a "Today" show interview with Meredith Viera in which she discussed her new book and resisted opening fire on ex-hubby Jon Gosselin, who has called her an "absentee mom" in his bid for custody of the children.
"My reaction to that is I'm a working mom," Gosselin said. "I've got to work harder now than ever because I am a single mom. In my heart, I am always in my kitchen baking cookies."
Gosselin has found time between mothering her brood and appearing on the ABC dance competition to write a memoir, "I Just Want You to Know: Letters to My Children on Love, Faith and Family." In the book, she opines on the pressure of raising eight kids under the spotlight of reality TV, her failed marriage and how her faith helps her perservere. The book is written to the kids, as something of an explainer on their unconventional life.
"I present this book to you — Cara, Madelyn, Alexis, Hannah, Aaden, Collin, Leah, and Joel — as the background on our family," Gosselin writes in the introduction. "You'll see how we attempted to create memories, provide for your needs, form traditions, and give you a good foundation."
Gosselin apparently put together the book, due out this month, in record time.
"This idea came to me while I was driving one day, just a couple of months ago," she said. "I wanted them to know how much I love them, how everything I do is for them."
It contains advice to help the kids as the grow up, "kind of lika legacy," Gosselin said.
Gosselin said the kids miss having both parents around all the time, but said she is keeping the clan intact the best she can.
"If anything, I see the kids and I becoming closer," she said. "They're more open to me."
But she admitted that weekly jaunts to Los Angeles to tape the TV show take their toll. She practices during the week at their home in Wernersville, Pa., with pro partner Tony Dovolani, then flies west on the weekends. Grabbing sleep on the plane, she is back to start the week and see the kids off to school.
"I make the most of every minute I do have with them," Gosselin said.
She is surprised the grueling schedule is still in place. Her dance numbers have been roundly panned by the judges, with Bruno Tonioli saying one routine "looked like Tony was pushing a shopping cart around the block."
But Gosselin, whose book details rude encounters with the public, said she has thick skin. And for now, her fate is in the hands of her fans, not her critics.
"They believe in me more than I believe in myself, and that's what's kept me on the show," Gosselin said. "Certainly it's not my dancing."

Mesa College, Room G101
United States
Archeological exploration of the region of Lycia in southwest Turkey has led to the discovery of a large number of rock-cut relief sculptures. Inscriptions indicate that the function of these reliefs was religious, and that they were dedicated to both Greek and indigenous gods and goddesses. The reliefs presented in this talk belong to the region of northern Lycia and Pisidia, and have been studied in detail according to their cults, artistic styles, and religious meaning. Most of them were recorded as part of the Balboura Survey and the Pisidian Survey, each conducted under the auspices of the British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara. The various sculpted types will be introduced, but most attention will be given to reliefs showing the local rider-god, often called 'Kakasbos', as well to those representing the Dioskouroi and an unnamed 'goddess'. The process and methods of archaeological survey and ethnographic research in this regions will also be presented, as will the discovery of reliefs from the excavations at Hacı musalar Höyük in central Lycia.

It takes courage and determination to be a leader. Uppländska Berg, a Swedish drill- and blast company, has both.
Recently, Atlas Copco introduced an updated version of the surface drill rig FlexiROC T30 R. The feature packed drill rig got the designation Construction Edition referring to its excellence in urban construction applications. The focus is on operator work environment and surrounding environment with features such as; silence kit, new dust collection system (DCT), bag handling system and water mist option.
The FlexiROC T30 R Construction Edition is the only drill rig in the world, in its class, that combine all these options and features. Uppländska Berg was the first company to take delivery of the drill rig and during a recent visit to Atlas Copco's Surface and Exploration Drilling division in Örebro, they got the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the drill rig and to tour the facilities.
" For my part, it was the first time I visited the factory and it was interesting to see both our rigs on site as well as to learn about Atlas Copco's plans for the future. "
He continues: "It was also beneficial and important that we had the chance to directly address our thoughts and questions in terms of the machinery, which primarily focused on the working environment and the natural environment."
The silence kit can reduce noise levels by as much as 10 dB which is significant when working in urban development. The new, high performance dust collection system (DCT) has an intelligent cleaning system that will secure suction capacity in all conditions. The system can also be equipped with a bag handling system that will further reduce dust levels. The water mist option will prevent dust from escaping into the air by binding it to water.
Uppländska Berg will use their two new FlexiROC T30 R drill rigs for contracts and projects in densely populated areas, where some of the rig's most important new features will come in handy. The company is determined to improve their operators' work environment and the surrounding environment without compromising profitability in operations. The FlexiROC T30 R Construction Edition is a big step for sustainable productivity.

Joy Morris-Hightower
July/August 2008
"I am 45 years old, I've been living with HIV 27 years, and I'm undetectable," says Chicagoan Joy Morris-Hightower. "I've been through every complication of HIV/AIDS in the '90s. I'm a recovering addict and a recovering prostitute -- I really do believe it was an addiction. I was addicted to the money and the drugs that came along with it. I'm grateful that I survived."
Joy told her mother when she was five that she was going to be a girl. "She gave me a whupping and told me I was a boy. But I was still feminine and got beat up by the boys. I suppressed my feelings because of my family's morals, but at 18 I became transgender when I went to the streets. There were no jobs for transgenders, although it's better today. We all wound up in the sex trade."
She says she suffered from depression and fear. "I was in a lot of pain. It wasn't easy to stop drugs. I've relapsed and relapsed since I've been in my recovery, but it was nothing like when I was in my addiction. I was on a suicide mission."
She was diagnosed with HIV in 1986, but believes she contracted it in 1981 from a lover who died in 1984. "The doctor told me I had six months to two years to live. This was when there were no medications, no medical nothing. I went directly into my drug addiction and stayed there for the next 16 years. And when I realized I wasn't going to die and that God had a plan for my life, I changed."
She entered drug treatment at the Haymarket Center in Chicago.
"I had wasting syndrome and was in a nursing home. I was still in my addiction. They gave me hope in Haymarket. They gave me encouragement, they gave me faith. They gave me my life back. I'm truly in debt to them. I left the nursing home and made it to the city in March 2002 and I haven't looked back."
What she found at Haymarket was a loving support she had not expected. "[Counselor and Associate Program Director] Kenis Williams at Haymarket was so understanding and open-minded, not discriminatory. She made me feel that I could do this, that I could recover from my addiction."
It was in recovery that she says she discovered someone else who wasn't discriminatory.
"I didn't realize it until I started working the steps [of Narcotics Anonymous], the whole process is getting back in touch with God. Some people say Higher Power."
An important part of her recovery was releasing the condemnation she's felt from religious leaders. She believes the eunuchs of the Bible, including Daniel from the Book of Daniel, would be considered transgender today, and that they were glorified, not damned.
"They were considered noble, honorable wise men of that era, but today we have been demonized, ostracized, and outcast. We're told we're going straight to hell. They demonize gay people and say we're an abomination. Meshach, Shadrach, Abednego, and Daniel -- the eunuchs are the ones who will be singing hallelujah to Jesus. They had the favor of God on them and I know God favors me."
She says she uses the term "gay men" because "that's how they put us, all in the same chart."
"[Ministers] Farwell, Farrakhan -- they say HIV is a curse for gays. I know that was a lie because I'm still here. And ministers are still lying. I had believed all those things those preachers said all those years. Being gay meant being HIV-positive. If you're gay, you're already an outcast. Then if you're positive, you're a leper. That's how everyone treated you. But just looking at the evidence, I know that God loves me."
Ironically, joining the recovery support group that Haymarket runs with TPAN helped her greatly, ironically because TPAN was unable to help her 15 years ago.
"It wasn't TPAN necessarily that was uncomfortable as it was the group. I felt out of place in a room full of MSM (men who have sex with men). They talked around me as if I wasn't there. I didn't feel like I could relate to what they were talking about, and there was nobody there like me. I wasn't in denial about my HIV, but it was hard to talk about it. I didn't have anyone to talk to. It wasn't a welcoming feeling and I was discouraged. I didn't feel accepted, I didn't feel welcome. Now [when she returned to TPAN] I didn't feel ostracized, I didn't feel rejected.
Although the support group she attends here today has only a few transgender individuals, Joy feels at home.
"My purpose is to help people. I try to encourage them. I try to show that by me living with this disease, they know they can live," she says. "I tell people, hold on to your dreams.
"You don't have to be ashamed or afraid to talk about this disease, because it's not a curse from God."
The pain she felt before, she says, had come not only from not being accepted for being transgender and for being HIV-positive, but for not having an education. "Basically, I felt like a failure. Today I have my high school diploma and a little bit of college, and I'm gainfully employed. I'm an outreach consultant. My whole philosophy is to prevent this disease."
She has volunteered with the HIV program planning councils for the city of Chicago and the state of Illinois, and several other organizations.
"Today I work with Men and Women in Prison Ministry. I'm on the board of directors developing an orphanage in Africa (www.thefutureofbenin.com)."
Her family has changed with her.
"I talk to my mother all the time, and my father too. Today they are my best friends. They're older and mature, and now understand. Back then they thought it was a phase."

Cubs down Padres
Chicago, IL – Scott Hairston and Cody Ransom smacked back-to- back home runs in the second inning and the Chicago Cubs defeated the San Diego Padres, 5-3, in the first of a four-game series on Monday.
Ransom and Darwin Barney drove in two runs apiece for the Cubs, who have won six of their last seven games against the Padres at home.
Starter Jeff Samardzija allowed three runs on four hits and four walks in five innings in a no-decision. Michael Bowden (1-1) pitched a perfect sixth to get the win while Kevin Gregg set down the final four batters to notch his fourth save.
"Too many walks, you know you can't that put many guys on for free ... makes it harder on yourself," said Samardzija. "It was nice to have that lead, allowed me to go out there an attack the zone a little bit."
Yonder Alonso had two RBI for the Padres, who saw starter Clayton Richard (0-3) surrender five runs on seven hits and two walks over 5 2/3 innings.
"We just couldn't seem to cash in when we had a couple guys on," said Padres manager Bud Black. "We got the runners in scoring position a couple times, just couldn't get the big knock."
Samardzija walked Everth Cabrera to start the game. After a fly out by Chris Denorfia, he allowed a single by Chase Headley. With Carlos Quentin batting, he threw a wild pitch, allowing the runners to advance. Three pitches later, he threw another wild pitch striking out Quentin, but Cabrera reached home.
Hairston and Ransom's back-to-back shots gave Chicago a 2-1 lead.
Barney drove in his first run in the fourth, a two-out double that plated Welington Castillo.
Alonso singled with two outs in the fifth, scoring Cabrera and Denorfia, tying the game at 3-3.
In the sixth, Ransom hit a liner to center, scoring Soriano, who singled to lead off the inning. Anthony Bass came into replace Richard, but a double by Barney brought Ransom home.
The Padres squandered an opportunity to come back in the eighth. With two outs, Kyle Blanks singled and Cabrera doubled to place the runners in scoring position. Gregg replaced James Russell and Denorfia hit a grounder towards him to end the frame.
In the ninth, Gregg struck out Headley and Quentin and got Alonso to ground out to end the game.
Game Notes
The Cubs were 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position while the Padres were 1-for-10 and left 11 men on base ... Chicago shortstop Starlin Castro recorded his fifth error ...
