The Revolution Will Be Video-Chatted
Jul 9, 2011 5:00 AM PT
More than a week after Google+'s launch, millions of social networkers are still crying out in vain for their invitations. Naturally, though, the tech industry's cultural elite are already inside the door, checking things out and getting an advance look-see.
OK, not all of Google+'s first settlers are titans of technology; they're mostly just people who happened to be on the ball enough to ask for an invite before Google halted the sign-up process. But among them is none other than Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Google+'s assumed arch rival, Facebook. He also happens to be one of Google+'s most popular members, racking up nearly 30,000 followers less than a week after the site opened.
It's not exactly surprising that Zuckerberg's made such a big splash on Google+ -- who wouldn't take the opportunity to size up the competition? And in order to effectively gauge a social network, you've got to be at least a little sociable. So even though he's relatively guarded about who he lets in on his own Facebook profile, he's allowed his Google+ page to amass this giant legion of followers.
Perhaps being so public with Zuckerberg's presence on the site might be Facebook's way of saying it's not scared of the big, bad Google machine. But it also might be a testament to how much Facebook considers Google a threat. Does anyone know or care how much Zuckerberg uses Twitter or LinkedIn? But here he is on Google+, accepting followers left and right.
Google+ is still in its early stages, though, so it's unclear just how worried Facebook should be. One thing Facebook has on its side is the physics of social media gravity. Facebook is right now closing in on a billion members, and people are naturally going to want to stay with whatever network most of their friends are already part of. Quitting Facebook and taking up with Google+ means you can't network with a big chunk of your friends unless and until they decide to make the jump too.
Of course the Google+/Facebook decision isn't an either/or proposition. You can do both. But everyone has a limit as to how many social networks they want to be a part of -- one more at this point may be a bridge too far. The trick is to differentiate -- what can Google+ give you that Facebook can't, and is it worth it to spend time with both?
Maybe Facebook is too cluttered, and Google+ is the chance to start a fresh profile with friends you really care about, not a bunch of people who are practically strangers. But if you've managed to hoard 900 personal "friends" on Facebook and that's what's making you think the site's cluttered, there's really nothing about Google+ to prevent you from doing that all over again eventually.
But Google does have Circles, which is an easy way to individually manage how much each of your Google+ contacts get to interact with you. That's one feature that seems to address a frequent quarrel users have with Facebook: privacy. If Google+ can win minds by beating the privacy drum, it might be on to something. But it does seem kind of odd to turn toward Google in search of greater privacy.
Listen to the podcast (13:40 minutes).
Video Gaga
Since Zuckerberg's obviously been studying up on the ways of Google+, it might be tempting to accuse his company of ripping off one of Google+'s main features with the new stuff Facebook rolled out this week. But really it was probably in the works for a long time before anyone at Facebook HQ ever got a first look at Google+.
In fact, what Facebook came up with this week has been correctly speculated on for several weeks. It's video chat -- fire up your webcam and conduct one-on-one video chat sessions with your friends. Availability will be gradually spread among Facebook members over the next few weeks.
The new functionality comes courtesy of Skype -- no big surprise there. Back when Skype was up for sale, Facebook was talked about as a serious buyer, and this is exactly the kind of thing that was expected to happen if the social network put in the winning bid.
As it turns out, though, Microsoft outbid everyone else by a long shot on that one, and since Facebook is already in tight with Microsoft, it was kind of like a rich relative buying a new sportscar and letting Facebook drive it whenever it wants.
However, at this time it seems this ability has not been taken to the mobile version of Facebook. Skype does fine on mobile, and Facebook has a hugely popular set of mobile apps, but the two aren't coming together in the foreseeable future.
Also, the video chat is obviously limited in use to other Facebook members. That's not exactly different from other methods of video chat though -- Facetimers have to both have Apple devices, Skype has always required both users to be Skypers, etc.
The specific Google+ feature that Facebook's video chat mirrors is called "Hangouts," and it launched with the new Google network last week. One big plus for Hangouts is that it allows group video chats, which Facebook isn't offering as yet.
So now that the biggest social network in the world and the new social network from the biggest Internet company in the world are both pushing their video chat functions simultaneously, perhaps this is a moment in which the technology will see at least a little more mainstream use.
Video chat is nice to have when you really need to communicate visually, but for most conversations, so far it seems a simple talk will do just fine. Plus, with video chat you might have to worry about what you look like, what's going on in back of you, you can't spin in your office chair, stare at the ceiling, fiddle with desk accoutrements. And you can't even really make eye contact. The webcam's usually right above the monitor, so it's like you're talking at each other's chests throughout the conversation.
Are You Gonna Eat That?
Google scored something of a PR win stateside last year when it decided it was no longer going to play the Chinese government's censorship game. It stopped filtering search results for queries it received from Chinese users and refused to continue nitpicking the Web for every little thing the government there doesn't want its citizens to see. As a result, Google's ability to do business in that country was severely restricted, though the move did win it a lot of goodwill from freedom-of-information advocates.
But Google's diminished presence in China has created a vacuum, and it's a vacuum Microsoft is eager to fill with its competing search platform, Bing.
Not that Google was the only way Chinese Web users could run a search. The country has a home-grown search engine, Baidu, which is already big and growing fast. And it's seeing a rising demand for English-language search results. That's where Bing's going to come in -- under a new deal, Microsoft's engine will accommodate Baidu's English-speaking users.
Even though Bing's still far behind Google on its home turf in the U.S., much less other countries, it's making serious gains for such a relatively new search engine. In May, it chalked up a 75 percent year-over-year growth rate, and most of those gains came from Google's losses. It's punching its way onto iOS with a new iPad app, and it has tight tie-ins with Facebook.
In order to follow through with this deal, though, Bing is going to have to comply with the Chinese government's every censorship whim, and the ins and outs of what's allowed and not allowed in that regard can get pretty tricky.
And as a company with its heart in the U.S., Microsoft faces other concerns in cooperating with the Chinese government. They don't end with merely blocking out certain information. There's always the possibility of getting entangled in an even messier political conflict.
I'm thinking back to the Yahoo incident of 2005, when Chinese journalist Shi Tao was imprisoned for sending a government document to an overseas pro-Chinese-Democracy organization via Yahoo mail. Authorities asked Yahoo for information about who sent the item, they gave it up with few questions asked, and Shi was imprisoned.
That's where Shi will probably remain for the rest of his 10-year sentence. For Yahoo, it was a ghastly bungle for which it's had to apologize on many occasions, not that it helps Shi's situation. And it's entirely possible that Microsoft could find itself facing a potentially explosive request from authorities as well. If it does, it'll have to step very carefully.
Storage Wars
The battle of the cloud music services is getting windier, and while Google's cloud is still in beta and Apple's offering isn't even out the door yet, Amazon has already added some sweetener to its own deal.
The company's decided to make a limited-time offer to users: For US$20 a year, they can get an unlimited online music storage locker from its Cloud Drive service. They can stuff it as full of music data as they want; $20 covers the annual storage fee, and it gives them an additional 20 GB of space for non-music files. This is over and above the 5 GB of storage space any user can get for free.
From that position in the cloud, of course, a user's music can be streamed to a wide variety of Internet-connected devices, as long as they have the Amazon Cloud Player installed.
Compare that to Apple's iCloud offering. It's a mostly free service that syncs up a whole lot of the user's data across devices, but if you want to get access to all your music, including songs you didn't get from iTunes, that'll be $25 a year, a difference of 1.3 pennies per day.
But for iPhone users, iCloud versus Cloud Drive isn't much of a choice: Amazon doesn't make a Cloud Player app for iPhone, so those users can't easily stream music from cloud to phone. Signs suggest that might not be a permanent state of affairs, though -- Amazon just recently also released a Cloud Player app for iPad, so who knows, maybe iPhone's next in line. That just depends on whether or not Apple will give it the go-ahead.
There's another fundamental difference between Apple's and Amazon's services. With Amazon Cloud Drive, you take your music and upload the actual data to the cloud. So if you have 40 GB of music on your computer and you want it all on Cloud Drive, you're going to be pumping all 40 GB of data into Amazon's servers.
iCloud works differently: It scans your entire collection, makes a list of the songs you have, then compares it to iTunes' library of songs for sale. It doesn't matter where you got your copy of the song; if it's in Apple's catalog and you're paying for the premium service, Apple will grant you access to that tune directly from its central hub. No upload necessary.
That's made possible through deals that Apple managed to put in place with the major record companies. Amazon did not secure those kinds of deals, but it maintains that by having users upload the actual data, Cloud Drive acts the same as any external hard drive -- no streaming rights required. [*Correction - July 9, 2011]
Sliding Into Third?
It's been such a long time since we've seen this many iPhone rumors floating around. Were you feeling deprived? Weep no more, speculation is getting dumped by the truckload -- how many will Apple, make, when they'll come along, what they'll look like, etc. But on the carrier side, there's also talk about whether Apple will take yet another U.S. partner.
Sprint is in the running to be the iPhone's next U.S. carrier, according to Citadel's Shing Yin. This probably won't be as much of a shakeup as when Verizon snagged the iPhone earlier this year, but it could change the game in several not-so-trivial ways.
First, part of the reasoning behind why this could be such a likely scenario is that Verizon just recently instituted data caps on all new service lines. No more unlimited mobile data buffet. AT&T did something similar last year when the iPhone 4 came out, and just like AT&T's policy, existing customers with data plans can be grandfathered in for as long as they remain on the same line of service. But with the two biggest carriers limiting new users' data plans, Sprint would be the only way a newly minted U.S. customer could find an iPhone that doesn't start gouging you for data the second you hit your monthly limit.
Sprint's monthly bills may also be marginally cheaper for some users as well, though the price of actually getting the phone probably wouldn't dip below the figures the other two carriers charge. But the lower monthly bill is a powerful attractor for some customers. With a contract, you can get an old-model iPhone for $50; it's the monthly bills that really kill you. Lower those, and maybe iPhone can beat back Android's growth a little.
It wouldn't be very difficult for Apple to make a Sprint phone, either -- not as difficult as making the Verizon iPhone anyway. Sprint uses the same type of network Verizon uses, so no invasive surgery would be required.
So what would the iPhone's other two U.S. carriers think about another competitor entering the iPhone club? They might not think about it much at all. Sprint's a runt compared to the other two, and as long as it wouldn't get to undercut them on cost of acquisition, it probably wouldn't amount to very much pain for either's bottom line.
*ECT News Network editor's note - July 9, 2011: In our original publication of this article, it's stated that iCloud will only sync music that happens to reside in iTunes' general library. In fact, the service also allows users to upload into the cloud tracks that do not appear in iTunes' library.

NY state is decommissioning its prison farm program.
"DOCS runs farm operations at a dozen of its 69 correctional facilities: Green Haven and Beacon (Dutchess County), Clinton (Clinton County), Eastern and Wallkill (Ulster County), Elmira (Chemung County), Greene (Greene County), Groveland (Livingston County), Sullivan (Sullivan County), Wyoming (Wyoming County), and Mid-State and Washington. The farms, which produce meat, milk and vegetables for the production of meals in the prison system, are intended to provide inmates with vocational experience. However, the farms have become increasingly costly to operate when viewed in light of the limited benefit they provide.
Beacon, Clinton and Washington run beef operations. Wallkill has a dairy farm. Elmira, Green Haven, Greene, Sullivan and Wyoming operate dairy farms and milk processing operations. Groveland grows field crops. Mid-State grows field crops and vegetables. And Eastern runs dairy, beef, beef processing and sawmill operations.
The farm operations employ 39 correction officers and 41 full-time civilian employees, and 188 inmates work on the farms. The correction officer jobs will be eliminated through attrition. DOCS will offer the civilian employees other jobs within the agency to the extent possible and will work with those employees and other State agencies to enhance the employees' opportunities for transfer to other State jobs during the six- to eight-month decommissioning of the farms. The ultimate elimination of the prison farms will produce a net savings to DOCS of $3.4 million annually.
DOCS will work with the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets to assist in decommissioning the farms."
As you can see their explanation is budget justified by limited benefit of farming to the NY prision population. In a report by WBFO, it was reported that, "."
Though I was never a 4H kid, this argument runs counter to all research on the benefits of 4H, including coping skills, public speaking, leadership, etc. Now granted these farm are not running on the 4H model, however there are able to teach many real world skills that in many circumstances, people in prison may not have learned while growing up. They can learn budgeting, business managment, marketing, inventory, shipping/receiving, general vet tech skills. The practical skills go beyond learning how to clean a barn. The DOC's view on the career benefits alone shows their sterotype of the role of a farmer, that they don't have marketable skills off the farm. In my opinion its just the opposite. To be a successfull farmer, you need multiple skill sets all of which are transferrable to jobs in any sector.
This program, if ran correctly, could provide emotional and interpersonal skills useful to the inmates for life, along with skills that are usable in any 9-5 job. I truly believe if they ran the prison farms in conjunction with a combination 4H/shock treatment facility model they would be well on their way to reducing recidivism.

I went to Edmond Richardson school it gives you a lot of track time and driving the finish line from one of the best sportsman racers out there, and teaches you a lot about finding points on the track to reference your car off of to give you a idea of what you should run, and I know his brother has ran some comp

Madonna Threatens to Cancel Show Due to Fans Smoking
Madonna's MDNA tour is the highest-grossing trek of 2012, so she can pretty much threaten her fans -- who plunked down hard-earned cash on a ticket -- and get away with it.
Madge did just that during her soundcheck at Estadio Nacional in Santiago City, Chile on Dec. 19. The Material Girl threatened to cancel her concert after becoming irritated by a group of fans who were smoking.
Madge was rehearsing in the rain when she caught a whiff and lashed out. Apparently, the fumes bother her throat and her voice.
"There are people smoking right now," Madge said, sounding like a stern mother scolding her child -- more on that in a sec!
Madonna continued, "No smoking. If you're going to smoke cigarettes, I'm not doing a show. You don't care about me, I don't care about you. All right? Are we going to play that game? I'm not kidding. I can't sing if you smoke. If you love me, then don't smoke."
Uh, how about if they love themselves, they don't smoke? Madge engaged in full-fledged emotional blackmail with her concertgoers.
Madge is serious about her anti-smoking policies on many levels. Even though she is seen smoking in her video for 'Girl Gone Wild,' she claims that she does not condone or endorse the dirty habit. She also was not psyched when her teenage daughter Lourdes was caught puffing away.
Take note of the memo, Madonna fans. Either don't smoke anywhere near her or if you choose to, gird your loins and prepare to face her wrath.

Citation: Birch, J., Juleff, N., Heaton, M.P., Kalbfleisch, T., Kijas, J., Bailey, D. 2013. Characterization of ovine Nectin-4, a novel peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) receptor. Journal of Virology. 87(8):4756-4761.
Interpretive Summary: Peste des petits ruminants (PPR), also known as ovine rinderpest, is a fast growing and economically important disease of sheep and goats in developing countries. PPR is caused by a highly contagious virus that may kill up to 90% of the affected flock. The disease is currently found across Africa, the Middle-East, the Indian subcontinent and is spreading. Understanding the mechanisms by which the virus attacks small ruminants is important for controlling and preventing the spread of disease. Our study confirmed the identity and function of the PPR virus receptors in allowing infection in sheep. We also showed there are differences between sheep in their PPR virus receptors, although the effect of these differences are presently unknown.
Technical Abstract: Small ruminants infected with peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) exhibit lesions typical of epithelial infection and necrosis. However, the only established host receptor for this virus is the immune cell marker signalling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM). We have confirmed that the ovine Nectin-4 protein, when over-expressed in epithelial cells, permits efficient replication of PPRV. Furthermore, this gene was predominantly expressed in epithelial tissues and encoded by multiple haplotypes in sheep breeds from around the world.

Have you ever shared a room with someone? For some students, living with a roommate will be a new experience. To some extent, sharing your room assignment will be sharing in each other's lives throughout the time you live together at Ithaca College.
After the last selection opportunity for incoming students is complete in August, your roommate(s) will be listed on HomerConnect. Contacting them prior to arriving on campus in the Fall can help eliminate hassles that result from bringing multiple stereos, televisions, or other items you will probably share. It's also a good way to break the ice before trampling on what could be sensitive issues.
While you and your roommate do not have to be close friends or share in every aspect of each other's lives, you do have to live together and share in many aspects of college life. The best way for you and your roommate to get to know each other and avoid unintentional conflicts is to talk about your likes, dislikes, sensitivities, and attitudes.
Your roommate most likely grew up in a different family, was educated in a different school, formed a different set of friends, and developed a set of values, beliefs, opinions, and habits that are different from your own. Most of us often overlook that our own habits, behaviors, and attitudes may cause unintended aggravation to others.
Some find it awkward at first to explore each other's backgrounds, goals, motivations, and lifestyles. Others have little difficulty finding these conversations. However, the patterns of cooperation, communication, and mutual trust can help make your room an enjoyable and comfortable place to live. We encourage you to sit down together and work out a living environment that is mutually agreeable. Your RA is available to assist you in getting to know your roommate and to help you complete a roommate agreement.

More than a dozen of us gathered for dinner on a cold Saturday night. Cassoulet simmered on the stovetop, and a fire in the wood stove warmed the room.
Some of us there had been close friends for decades. Others barely knew one another. But we were all united by one thing: We had been in the same college class or had come with someone who was in that class.

VERGENNES — Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel estimated about 100 area residents attended a Jan. 11 meeting that was the follow-up to last month's forum on drug trafficking and substance abuse in the Vergennes area.
Merkel said those who attended broke into groups to brainstorm what is hoped to be an effort to curb illegal drug use and sales in the area.
Last week, while Congress was in recess, Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt., joined eight House colleagues on a trip to France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates. This trip was not a junket, but a working visit with officials of the host governments and U.S. diplomats and military personnel stationed in those countries.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police cited Kimber I. Mills, 23, of Middlebury for domestic assault, following an alleged fight at a Route 7 South residence on Jan. 15. Police said the victim alleged that Mills had stabbed him "multiple times" with a pair of scissors.
In other action last week, Middlebury police:
•Received, from an honest person, an endorsed check found in the Merchants Row area on Jan. 9. Police called the person who had lost the check.
•Went to the scene of a vehicle-deer crash on Route 30 on Jan. 9.
ADDISON COUNTY — A Brandon man on Monday night was rushed to the hospital with head injuries he sustained when the car he was driving was struck by a tractor-trailer on Route 7 in Leicester.
It's practically an indisputable fact of modern life that information is king. And thanks largely to the free flow of the U.S. Internet, we have access to it in unprecedented abundance.
The speed by which citizens of any socioeconomic class are able to access information, the quality of information they're able to access and the ability to sort through vast layers of up-to-the second news is at an all-time high for Americans.

Brown identified the psychiatrist as Raj A. Danthuluri, 40, a Hicksville, Long Island, resident with a Rego Park practice on 99th Street.
Following a three-day bench trial before Acting Queens Supreme Court Justice Barry Kron, Dr. Danthuluri was convicted of endangering the welfare of a child and third-degree sexual abuse.
The victim, whose name has not been released, is a 16-year-old female and former patient of Dr. Danthuluri. According to the District Attorney's office, Dr. Danthuluri touched the victim's breasts during two separate private sessions at his office in May and June of 2007. The crime was reported after the victim told her mother what had happened.
"As a medical doctor and therapist the defendant must have been aware of how harmful his actions would be to his young patient," Brown said in a statement. "A doctor's office should always be a safe place for a patient, free of sexual predators- especially those treating children."
As a result of his conviction, Dr. Danthuluri will be required to register as a sex offender and his DNA will be added to the DNA databank. In addition, said Brown, the incident will be reviewed by the New York State Department of Health's Office of Professional Medical Conduct, which will determine if Dr. Danthuluri will be allowed to retain his medical license.
Dr. Danthuluri will be sentenced on February 13, 2009.

The Deep Ocean Floor Where MH370 Could Be Hiding
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is likely resting on the floor of one of the least-mapped sections of the ocean, according to officials. Searchers hope the missing plane didn't end up on one known feature called the Broken Ridge. Jason Bellini reports.

Hennessey HPE1000 Cadillac CTS-V is a 10-Second Sedan
We were sad to learn that model year 2019 will be the end of the CTS-V. What began in 2004 by shoving a Corvette Z06 drivetrain into an unassuming Cadillac has evolved into a supercharged 640 horsepower sledgehammer. From the factory, it offers 640 horsepower and 630 lb-ft of torque, but the engine is unchanged [...] The post Hennessey HPE1000 Cadillac CTS-V is a 10-Second Sedan appeared first on Autofluence.

Community Classroom tutoring benefiting local residents; next tutor training planned Sept. 8
PLAINVIEW – "Bob" has known he needed to go back to school and earn his GED for several years, but it wasn't until he saw a television commercial for his dream career that he finally made the move toward one.
Now nearly 40, Bob, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, had always been interested in law enforcement. But not having his high school diploma stood in the way of that happening. A commercial for the state highway patrol motivated him enough to seek the GED.
When Bob heard about the GED tutoring offered through the Community Classroom at Wayland Baptist University, he was encouraged to begin the process. After meeting director Debbie Stennett and learning about the program, he signed up and was assigned Mike Melcher as his tutor.
Melcher, who is director of corporate development at Wayland, said the relationship has been mutually beneficial since their one-on-one tutoring started in early spring. The pair meets for an hour each week and work on whatever areas Bob needs help with in order to prepare him for the GED test. He's excited at what the future holds.
"I dropped out in the ninth grade to work and help my dad out with bills, and I've just worked ever since then," Bob said. "I always knew I needed and wanted to do the GED. I've had the same job for 20 years and I would like to move into a new field."
Bob said he feels good to be working toward the diploma, though the process has been challenging. Vocabulary and math are daunting to him, but he said Melcher's encouragement has been invaluable.
"Having someone show me step by step and help me with problems, I feel like I can conquer anything," he said. "He has been so good to me, telling me that he's here to help me and not to put me down. I'm trying hard, and he keeps encouraging me to go on."
Bob's family has been supportive of his efforts and encouraged him as well. The GED tutoring has helped Bob in another area as well: he's grown to like reading more now that he's more comfortable with words and reads more now than in the past.
According to Stennett, the tutoring program has been a success in just its short lifespan, with several students and committed volunteers working toward the GED test goal. But more students are out there and are in need of volunteers.
To that end, Stennett has scheduled another volunteer training session on Saturday, Sept. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon for those interested in tutoring students toward GED testing. Tutors are also needed for the Community Classroom's citizenship tutoring program, and training for that will be held simultaneously on Sept. 8.
"The beauty of our program is that the pace is student-driven," Stennett said. "We just work on one subject at a time, and we're very flexible in trying to meet the scheduling needs of our students."
Stennett said while only a dozen students took advantage of the project in the early months, she is encouraged that they have all stayed with the program and have had good results already.
"We have already had one woman get her citizenship that came through for tutoring, and we're working up to a few taking the GED," she said. "If we have several more citizenship students, we can even form a small class if we need to do so.
"The main thing is that no one should have to wait for a tutor. If these students come in and are finding time in their busy work schedules to do this, I don't want them to have to wait."
Stennett, who tutors three students herself, said she's enjoyed watching the adult students learn and expand their horizons, and she feels the other tutors are benefiting as well from helping someone in the community better themselves.
"It's fun to watch the progress for people, though it is slow and incremental," she said. "The thing that makes this work is the tutor-student relationship. We spend lots of time on relationship building and mutual trust and respect, and that's what makes it work."
The tutor training will be held at the Community Classroom, 708 Yonkers, and is free of charge. It will include breakfast and will cover the instruction materials and procedures for tutoring in either citizenship or GED/Pre-GED. Prospective tutors must be at least 18 and be able to commit to weekly sessions, and provide a patient and encouraging atmosphere.
Other activities planned soon at the Community Classroom include the regular meeting of the Literary Lunch Bunch from noon – 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 4. Books to be discussed in the quarterly meeting include Andrew Carnegie, The Road, The Secret, Where Have All the Leaders Gone? and Mockingbird. The Lunch Bunch is free and guests are welcome to bring their lunch to the meeting.
The Classroom also hosts monthly sessions of the Comedy Defensive Driving course, with two evening sessions from 6:15-9:15 p.m. required to fulfill the certificate of completion. The next sessions are scheduled for Sept. 17 and 18 and the course costs $30 per person. The class is helpful in reducing insurance rates or removing traffic tickets.
Another coming feature is a quilting course in handpiecing, taught on Monday evenings from Sept. 10 to Nov. 5 from 6-8 p.m. Taught by Lee Baird, the class will teach the basics of traditional handpiecing to make quilts, table runners, pillows and blankets. Students will learn five techniques basic to most all quilt block patterns. And will design a quilt block pattern unique to their personalities. The blocks will be backed in fleece and completed by the end of the course.
Cost for the quilting course is $75 per person and students will purchase their materials after the initial session, with costs estimated at an additional $35. Class size is limited for this popular return feature.
To register for any of the Community Classroom programs or to sign up for the volunteer training on Sept. 8, contact Stennett at 291-3650.

What a long post title. Hehe! So! Many of you guys weren't too happy with this week's studio recordings album art for the top 5. Due to popular demand, I've created a new album art using the group picture as requested! Thanks for the suggestions and feedback, it only makes the blog better! I'll always be happy to oblige to any suggestions that are practical.
Anyway, here it is! I have to agree, the group photo does look better as a whole. Although I still hate that picture, it does look better as the album cover. Nice eyes, guys.
So, copy, paste, and change that album art in your music player! Unless of course, you prefer the previous one! (Anyone? Hehe.)
Other than that, I'd like to ask you guys a favour! Weeks just fly by, don't they? Currently, we have nine album arts from all the weeks since the top 13. So I'd like you guys to VOTE for your favourite album cover! That way, I can create future album arts that are based on/similar to the most popular cover. The poll has multiple choices, by the way.
In case you need references, here are the album arts from all the weeks! Click on them to enlarge, they'll link you to the original size. [450×450]
Oh yeah, there are also some peeps saying that some of the tracks uploaded are missing/invalid/slow/broken. In fact, they are perfectly fine. What you have there is probably a lag from the hosting website. It happens when you download too many tracks at once/keep visiting the hosting site/open too many tabs of the hosting site at once. Server problems will occur and you'll find that you can't download the file or even access the page. So what you can do is, one, try refreshing the page. Or two, leave the site for a few minutes, then check back the site again to download the file. I hope that's cleared up! It's a common niche, so don't worry. It certainly doesn't mean that I'm biased towards some of the contestants! Hehe.
Any more suggestions are most welcome! VOTE! Please leave comments!

Kristen Stewart & Rupert Sanders In Never-Before-Seen Cheating Pics
HollywoodLife.com is absolutely shocked with these new pics of Kristen and Rupert from their July 17 cheating-fest all over LA. Rupert is all over her and they look really into each other!
Kristen Stewart is such a cheater! These new pics are even worse than the initial pics that Us Weekly obtained when they uncovered Kristen and Rupert Sanders' affair. In these never-before-seen pics, Kristen and Rupert are smiling, hugging, and all over each other!
These new pics show how Kristen and Rupert spent quite a bit of time at the lookout point near the famous Hollywood sign. Kristen is dressed down in sweats and red converse sneakers. It appears that she looks relaxed and happy to be with Rupert. Plus, Rupert has his hands all over Kristen, these must be heartbreaking for Rob to look at.
Meanwhile, we told you that Rupert's wife Liberty Ross is forgiving him and trying to work out the marriage. Kristen and Rob on the other hand, have moved out of the LA home they shared together.

Astral Plate
|The Astral Plate
|Plane of Existence
|Key Resources
|None listed
|Controlled By
|Key Locations
|The Primary Baseplate
The Astral Plate is the space between existence, a buffer or lubrication between the verses in any given Multiverse and, indeed, between the Multiverses themselves. It is a grand, unifying aspect which allows for the possibility of existence and the existence of possibility. The Astral is the infinite baseplate on which all reality is built and is, therefore, simultaneously nothing and everything, an everlasting, ever expanding potential. It has been philosophized that since we come from it, we are connected to it and it is the medium through which we can imagine other worlds and think alien thoughts. It is thought that the Astral may be the tool we use, however subconsciously, to expand ourselves, to grow and develop.
Astral Characteristics
Astral Space
While it is true that Astral space is a metaphor and an abstract idea, it is also a physical place because physical places, like things and ideas, also come from somewhere. It is possible, under the right circumstances, to travel to the Astral Plate. The journey will undoubtedly be bewildering, spiritually and mentally trying, and may bring the traveler to great danger but it is considered, by many multiversal scholars, to be well worth the risks.
Astral Space displays a peculiarity, which may have more to do with any given sentient's limited perception than with any feature of the plane itself. Because the experience in travelling there is almost dreamlike in its abstractness and therefore highly personalized, scholars are sketchy on just how to describe the peculiarity. Most agree, however, that Astral Space is essentially localized. That is, while entering from the same place under the same circumstances a traveler may have a wildly different experience but the physical sensation of location is unchanged. This makes it possible to navigate the Astral and, if one has the capability, enter and exit at very specific points in a given real universe. Navigating is not easy, however, and it is extraordinarily easy to become very, very lost. Furthermore, the distances even between universes in the same multiversal cluster are vast so, barring some deific means of travel, travelers are typically limited to their own universes.
Astral Time
Time does not pass in the Astral (one of those things travelers find so difficult to wrap their minds around). Each person bears a quantum phase variance, a sort of chrono-tag that identifies, down to the smallest possible measure of time, the exact time one belongs to. Exiting the Astral will automatically return a traveler to her own time because, in a manner of speaking, she never really left it. Travelers in the Astral do not necessarily age, nor do they need to eat, sleep, or breathe.
Quantum Phase Variance and the BrikVerse
The BrikVerse is a chronologically mangled universe. Natives have some of the most fucked up time signatures in existence. Therefore, interaction with the Astral by these peoples is...random and dangerous to say the least. Some believe that more powerful creatures hailing from the universe are capable of controlling the time variance and koincidence, thus bending some of the most potent forces in existence to their will. This has yet to be proven.
Astral Inhabitants
Because of the open nature of the realm, travelers could literally come across anyone in there. Some of those people or creatures might even be real. Almost certainly, all of them are dangerous. Most dangerous of all are the deities who've made their homes within the Astral. No telling what they might do.
Astral Connections
The Astral is coexistent, point for point, with literally everything. All it takes is the power or ability to breach the Universal Membrane and take a walk on the wild side.
Notable Astral Characters and Locations
Pesgores: The Administrator of the Astral Plate.
Dread Pirate Two-By-Two: The BrikVerse creator god.
BrikThulhu: The immortal king of mayhem.
The Primary Baseplate: Rumored to be the dwelling place of the Great Builder, the Dread Pirate Two-By-Two, and the foundation on which the BrikVerse is literally built. In BrikThology, it is also the site of the first battle in the BrikVerse.

A coalition made up of seven leading national aging organizations—the Diverse Elders Coalition—today released a policy report on the economic issues facing vulnerable older people, notably Black elders; Hispanic elders; Asian and Pacific Islander elders; American Indian and Alaska Native elders; and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) elders. Securing Our Future: Advancing Economic Security for Diverse Elders describes the issues facing elders of color and LGBT elders, who together will represent a majority of older adults in the United States by 2050. The report also offers policy recommendations in several areas key to the well-being of older people, including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, health care reform, and more.
The Diverse Elders Coalition was founded in 2010 with the purpose of promoting federal policy solutions that enhance the quality of life for our country's diverse aging communities. The members of the Diverse Elders Coalition include: Asociación Nacional Pro Personas Mayores; National Asian Pacific Center on Aging; National Caucus & Center on Black Aged; National Hispanic Council on Aging; National Indian Council on Aging; Services and Advocacy for GLBT Elders; and Southeast Asia Resource Action Center.
"The population of older people in this country is growing in both numbers and diversity, yet still remains largely neglected in public policy and aging-related programs," said Michael Adams, Executive Director of SAGE. "Through this report and news blog, the Diverse Elders Coalition has provided a clear blueprint of the major economic security challenges facing diverse elder communities, as well as clear recommendations for responsive policy reform."
Despite their growing presence in the US, elders of color and LGBT elders face significant disparities in health and health care access, economic security, housing, employment and more. Many encounter aging providers who lack the cultural and linguistic competence to address their unique needs, and many others face outright discrimination and neglect from our aging and health care system. More broadly, programs aimed at older people rarely explicitly serve elders of color and LGBT elders. To address these issues, some key recommendations from the report include:
- Preserve and reform essential safety net programs for older adults, such as Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, to cover a broader range of vulnerable elders who have historically been excluded from accessing its benefits;
- Build the capacity of minority-, American Indian/Alaska Native-, and LGBT-led organizations to deliver more programs to their communities, which serve a critical role in helping diverse elders enroll in a wide variety of programs and services for which they are eligible but would otherwise not receive.
- Expand and strengthen senior employment programs, such as the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), the only such federal program aimed at low-income older adults; and more.
The report, authored by the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, is available at DiverseElders.org, the newly launched news blog of the Diverse Elders Coalition. This blog features original commentary and news about diverse older people in the U.S., an online library of publications related to diverse older people, and policy analysis and recommendations from the Diverse Elders Coalition. Over time, the blog will feature original commentary from leading experts in these fields, as well as a digital collection of personal stories of older people from around the country.
"Too often, the policies meant to support older people ignore, underfund or discriminate against elders of color and LGBT elders. This report and news blog are drawing critical attention to the ways in which we can begin repairing these inequities," said Robert Espinoza, Senior Director for Public Policy and Communications at SAGE.
Next week, members from the Diverse Elders Coalition will host a Congressional briefing to discuss the implications noted in the report and what policy makers can do to better support a growing yet vulnerable demographic of elders who are Black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, American Indian/Alaska Native and LGBT. The briefing will take place on Wednesday, July 25 at 10:00 am.

Gross. That is really gross, dude. You're way too old to be doing stuff like this. I'm sure the "Hey loogit me y'all, I'm humpin' air. Hee haw!" routine used to be really funny back in your college days, but you're a grown-up now; a grown-up who should know that air-humping—especially while using your hands to create a phantom vagina—is unacceptable.
And wipe that goofy-ass grin off of your face, too. It's creepy.
UPDATE: via Dan Bernstein, it appears that the air-humper is strength coach Rusty Jones. Rusty Jones. This guy just got twice as creepy.

Maintaining Independence and Quality of Life: A Livable Community Survey in Crossville Tennessee
AARP defines a livable community as one that allows people to maintain their independence and quality of life as they age. Specific aspects of a livable community include adequate mobility options; supportive community features and services that allow residents to maintain their independence and enjoy an engaging civic and social life; and affordable and appropriate housing.
In an effort to better understand what people age 50 and older need to continue to age in their communities, AARP Tennessee commissioned a mail survey of residents age 50 and older in Crossville, Tennessee.
The key survey findings show:
- Crossville residents age 50 and older regard their community as a good place for older people to live, and they want to remain in their community as they age. Seventy-one percent say their community is an excellent or very good place for older people to live. Seventy-three percent say it is important for them to stay in their community for as long as possible, and more than 80 percent believe it is important to stay in their own home for as long as possible.
- Crossville residents age 50 and older want to live in communities that are safe, easy to get around, and have the services they need. Ninety-six percent say having safe neighborhoods is an extremely or very important feature in their community. Eighty-two percent say having well-designed and maintained streets are important.
- Crossville residents age 50 and older want to live in a community where services such as home health aides or visiting nurses, home repair, and transportation are readily available. Eighty-three percent say having home health aides or visiting nurses is extremely or very important.
- Crossville residents age 50 and older would most often turn to family or friends when they need to get information on community services.
- The top gaps in neighborhood features are: dependable public transport, wide variety of services to help them maintain their independence, sidewalks, having a grocery and drug store within a half mile of their home, walking or bike trails within a half mile of their home and well-designed and maintained streets.
- The top gaps in neighborhood services are: a service that helps low-income or older persons with home repairs and congregate meals.
- Crossville residents age 50 and older most often drive themselves to get around their community and are not likely to use public transportation.
A sample of 1500 residents was drawn from a nationwide sampling database (SSI) which contains a compiled list of individuals ages 40+ in the United States. The survey was fielded from November 17th through December 12th 2011. For more information, contact Aisha Bonner at 202-434-3531.

|Chiropractic Care and the Fountain of Youth
There is no fountain of youth, of course, but there does exist a fountain of youthfulness. Anyone can gain access to this fountain by following a consistent plan of healthy nutrition, regular vigorous exercise, and sufficient rest. When you add regular chiropractic care to your long-term program, all your activities provide a greater yield.
Chiropractic care works by optimizing the functioning of your spinal column. The spinal column houses and protects spinal nerves, branches of your central nerve system that carry messages to all the other parts of your body. When the various parts of your spine - the vertebrae - are working well together, messages can flow freely back and forth along the spinal nerves. By helping ensure this free flow of information, chiropractic care helps you get the most out of your nutrition, exercise, and other healthful activities.
