Poppy launched from Wanaka
Ahumble paper Anzac poppy has started a journey around the world under a $1.6 million super pressure balloon, tucked into equipment that sends science data back to earth.
The poppy is a symbol of New Zealand’s national day of remembrance in New Zealand and Australia and was attached before the Anzac Day launch at Wanaka Airport, on April 25.
Nasa communications spokesman Jeremy Eggers said the poppy was tucked next to the balloon’s iridium, used to uplink or downlink data from the payload.
The mission is designed to run 100 or more days, floating at 110,000 feet (33.5 kilometres) over the globe in the southern hemisphere’s mid-latitude band.
Nasa balloon programme chief Debbie Fairbrother was delighted with the team’s third successful launch in as many years.
‘‘I’m very proud of the team that delivered us to this point and I’m hopeful that third time’s the charm for realising 100 days of flight,’’ she said.
The Nasa team want to break a 54-day flight record for a super pressure balloon.
The previous two flights from Wanaka ended early.
The main objective is to validate the balloon technology, but it is carrying a cosmic ray telescope as a science ‘‘mission of opportunity’’ for the International Extreme Universe Space Observatory.
The project’s lead scientist, Professor Angela Olinto, said the telescope was searching for cosmic particles.
‘‘The origin of these particles is a great mystery that our pioneering mission will help to solve. Do they come from massive black holes at the centre of galaxies? Tiny, fast-spinning pulsars? Or somewhere else?’’
Deputy principal investigator Lawrence Wiencke said the international science team was very excited to see the cosmic ray fluorescence detector lifted to suborbital space.
‘‘This balloon will give us a great view, and we are hoping for a record flight. We would especially like to thank the Nasa and Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility teams for their patience, hard work, and extensive expertise that made this launch successful.’’
The balloon may be visible from the ground at sunrise and sunset, in the southern hemisphere’s mid-latitudes, such as Argentina and South Africa.

A RECIPE for ''a la king sauce'' is the first entry in The Complete Interactive Cookbook. It's all downhill from there.
The cookbook abounds with such cafeteria-style recipes, the sort that will appeal to you if you love Jell-O molds, as well as dishes that read like a list of third-prize winners at the county fair. Watercress and apple souffle caught my eye, as did guava jelly and avocado ice cream. There's also a recipe for gourmet avocado ice cream, a preparation involving whipped cream, brown sugar, egg whites, chopped bananas and kiwi slices.
I used the search device to look for all recipes with avocado, and it revealed two. Those two, however, did not include either ice cream, nor did they include avocado and orange pasta, which I happened upon. Who knows how many other recipes with avocado are lurking?
The recipes are organized by books. You can switch from the Book of Afternoon Tea to the Book of Garnishes to the Book of One-Pot Cooking, 26 books in all. I found few of the recipes appealing. Why would anybody want to make Crab Burritos with one-half cup of mozzarella cheese, sour cream and -- yes -- avocados?
Many recipes are also difficult to follow. The recipe for bercy sauce, the classic French shallot-and-wine sauce, includes fish veloute sauce but doesn't tell you what it is or how to make it. You can find a reference to it under Related Recipes, but it should be more clearly linked.
Much of the information offered under Chef's Tips seems esoteric rather than practical. Under the heading Salmon: Farming, we are told that salmon farmers avoid chemicals and antibiotics, but we are told nothing about how farmed salmon taste compared with wild. In general, this cookbook doesn't have a point of view, except maybe on avocados.Continue reading the main story

Letter: Thanks for preserving memory of Parker High
I really enjoyed the article written by Lyn Riddle regarding the 90th anniversary of the opening of Parker High School. Very well written, and I found the comments from former Parker students especially poignant regarding the people that made Parker so special. Mrs. Rogers, Mr. Senn and Coach Kendall were all memorable people that were excellent at their jobs.
I would like to add a name to that list of staff. My father, Harold Kay, was the principal at Parker for the most of the decade of the 1960s. During that time, Parker was recognized as one of the finer schools of our state. He loved Parker with all of his heart and was proud of its many accomplishments. The academics, the renowned band led by Mr. Senn, the great chorus led by Mrs. Rogers, the athletic teams and the vocational program for those students not going to college.
He loved education and being an educator, and was well regarded in educational circles. I remember seeing my first play, “Oklahoma,” in that old auditorium. I am so fond of that place and was glad to see pictures of it and comments about it in The Greenville News. Thanks to Mr. Brown and others for trying to preserve it.
Harold Kay Jr.

Apple is worth more than 500 billion dollars, so it’s no surprise that the CEO of the company, Tim Cook, was the highest paid CEO in 2011. Cook famously took the reigns of the company beginning in 2011, when Steve Jobs was out on medical leave.
Just how much was Cook paid? According to the Wall Street Journal, when he became CEO in August, Apple gave him a pay package worth approximately $378 million dollars.
Almost all of his compensation came in the form of restricted stock, worth $376.2 million dollars at the time. The restrictions prevent Tim Cook from immediately selling his shares, and are contingent on his continued employment at Apple. He can sell half of his shares in 2016, and the other half in 2021.
That stock has since grown in value, and is now worth a total of $530 million dollars. Apple has said that it considers the shares compensation for the next 10 years of work rather than just payment for 2011.
Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle Corp. was the second highest paid CEO in 2011, receiving a total of $76 million in the form of stock bonuses and stock options.

UPDATE: This post was mentioned in Post Now yesterday.
You can take the girl out of the small town, but you can’t…anyways, the big, I mean HUGE, social event of the year when I was a kid was the county fair. And even though the closest my own little Montgomery County kids will get to raising their own 4-H pig is a performance of Charlotte’s Web at The Adventure Theatre, I love that Charlie and Eve can still get the fair experience in the DC area.
The adorable farm animals, the concession stand food, the midway rides, the carnival game goldfish that dies in two days – they typify the classic American childhood experience. And even if you and your kids are complete urbanites, you could conceivably hit a different local county fair every weekend in August and September!
(Or, you can find a county fair to attend no matter which week you’re in Bethany or Corolla.)
Loudon County Fair Begins Sunday June 25-Saturday July 31 in Leesburg
Fairfax County Fair August 7 & 8 at Frying Pan Park, Herndon
Howard County Fair August 7-14 in West Friendship, MD
Montgomery County Agricultural Fair August 13-21 in Gaithersburg
Prince William County Fair August 13-21 in Manassas, VA
Arlington County Fair August 18-22 in Arlington
Maryland STATE Fair August 27-September 6 – Thanks Dawn! (with Justin Bieber in concert, woo hoo)
Prince George’s County Fair: September 9-12 in Upper Malboro
Anne Arundel County Fair: September 15-19 in Crownsville
Frederick County Fair: September 17-25 in Frederick
I know, I know. I’m still recovering.

Red Velvet members, since debut in 2014, has undergone countless transformations while promoting all of the group’s hit songs. The fans looked back and realized each member is quite different now from their first impressions!
Shortly after debut, fans thought Irene was the goddess of beauty for her 200% perfect visual. She immediately gained a large fanbase for her amazing looks.
She got the nickname “Ice Princess” because of her first impression.
But now, fans know she’s only a white-headed long-tailed tit bird.
Irene is no longer intimidating, and when she tries, she looks like this adorable angry bird!
When fans first met Seulgi, they thought she could be the next “ssen unnie (쎈언니)”, like that one Jessi song, because she looked so fierce and charismatic.
Everything about Seulgi screamed biggest, baddest b*tch, and fans loved that!
But Seulgi ended up being the cutest little fluffy bear!
Fans adore what a plot twist Seulgi turned out to be.
Wendy had everyone think she’s a beagle on the run, with her extra positive energy on stage.
She glowed with a super energetic vibe that fans instantly fell in love with.
While Wendy’s personality hasn’t changed much since debut, fans realized that her brightness doesn’t make her a beagle, but actually a guardian angel.
Wendy puts her positiveness into encouraging her fellow members, fans, and other stars! She even made comedian Kang Ho Dong cry when she reached out to him and told him he’s a good person.
At debut, Joy‘s Disney princess-like visual really wowed the fans. Her beautiful smile captivated thousands of fan hearts.
Just from the first impression, fans thought Joy would be the quiet, calm princess of the group.
Fans soon learned they were terribly mistaken about Joy being a pretty princess. She soon earned herself the nickname, “vel-jel-woot (벨젤웃)”, which translates to “the funniest Red Velvet”.
Joy loves to have fun, laugh, and show the world she’s having the best time of her life, whenever wherever! Fans love this down-to-earth side of Joy.
Last, but never the least, Yeri the “maknae (막내)” went through perhaps the biggest transformation since debut.
When she first revealed herself to the fans, she was considered the baby of the group.
But years passed and Yeri grew up into a young lady, whose aura simply stuns the fans every time she shows this grown-up side of her.
Her latest Ceci Magazine photo shoot has made her fans realize Yeri is no longer the baby, but actually the “maknae-on-top” now with her matured looks and vibes. Of course, fans love Yeri the same nevertheless!

"I was his tutor. I didn't teach him magic. I taught him ethics and morals. It is much more difficult, believe me." -- Merlin talking about Arthur
The United Kingdom's television series Merlin finally aired in the United States this weekend. I confess I haven't watched it yet -- it's waiting for me on my TiVo. I've always been drawn to the Arthurian legend, with Excalibur, Camelot, and the Knights of the Round Table, so I'll give this new interpretation a try, even though it seems like they've taken some liberties with the myths. Merlin, the great wizard, is now portrayed by a young man, a peer of the future king, Arthur.
This shouldn't be a problem if they execute it right. Afterall, writers have reimagined Merlin countless times in story after story. From the earliest chronicles by Geoffrey of Monmouth and epic poems of Robert de Boron, to modern tales by Mark Twain and T.H. White, Merlin has been depicted as both a hero and villain, a bumbling fool and a canny mastermind.
I always envisioned the character as the Wise Man archtype who mentors the classic Hero. Without Merlin, we probably would not have had Gandalf, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, Dumbledore, and numerous other mystical sages in fantasy stories. Can the version played by the young Colin Morgan in the new BBC series be any less legitimate than the more traditional versions portrayed by Sam Neill, Malcolm McDowell, Michael York, Donald Pleasance, and others?
I'll have to see the show before I judge. But is this a valid reimagining of the saga, or a dumbing down of the legend to create a teen-drawing audience base in the mold of Smallville? We'll see.

Your first reference comes from Qualitative Inquiry journal, that describes themselves as:
Qualitative Inquiry (QI) provides an interdisciplinary forum for qualitative methodology and related issues in the human sciences. The journal publishes open-peer reviewed research articles that experiment with manuscript form and content, and focus on methodological issues raised by qualitative research rather than the content or results of the research. QI also addresses advances in specific methodological strategies or techniques.
Emphasis is mine. It seems that publishing poem in that case comments on the fact that insomnia affects general academic performance. That is an "experiment with manuscript form" that addresses statistics of insomnia.
Your second reference comes from "Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory" which aims to publish:
scholarly essays from interdisciplinary feminist perspectives. For us, “women” and “performance” denote not simply what we study but how we study it—that is, not preconceived objects of analysis, but rather an open assembly of political, ethical, and aesthetic orientations, feminism chief among them. We encourage dialogues among various fields of performance scholarship, including theater and performance studies, dance studies, music history and criticism, ethnography, new and digital media, cinema studies, and cultural studies; as well as queer, critical race, and post- and decolonial theory. Working with/in this disciplinary hybridity, we explore critiques of gender, race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, dis/ability, technology, nation, and capitalism.
Emphasis is mine. That poem seems to connect work of the artists and current events, put work of artists into context. But that is just an opinion.
The shorter answer TL;DR would be that these poems represent unconventional (for Science/Nature/Cell readers) opinion pieces.

We’ve had two great events this past week – my nieces Calandra and Mendy have been here from Sacramento, and I harvested my first zucchinis from my garden. Not that I compare zucchinis to seeing the girls and their adorable little boys, but when you have to put together the nieces’ final dinner in New Mexico and you have zucchinis, there’s no choice but to make calabacitas.
It’s that time of year when summer squash will begin appearing in all sorts of potluck dishes. My cousin Sandra (who has the biggest garden in Quay County) creates a version that is primarily squash with chile con queso – very cheesy and very yummy. An old friend used to make something he calls “junk”, which is squash and onions and lots of garlic and jalepenos baked in their own juices for an hour.
I prefer cooking what I consider traditional calabacitas – until I check out the Pink Adobe and the Simply Simpatico cookbooks and discover more than one “traditional” calabacitas recipe. There appear to be about 15, which is the nice thing about New Mexican cooking. It’s simple, delicious, and versatile.
Here’s mine. Sometimes the ingredients change based on what I have on hand. Tonight the squash and the onions were picked moments before preparation. I wish I could just recall where I planted the garlic!
3 – 4 zucchini and yellow squash, chopped (use all of one kind if that’s all you have)
1 large onion, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic salt or 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
4 or 5 chopped roasted green chiles (depending on the heat you want – you can also use a 4 ounce can of chopped green chile, or a can of Ro-tel)
1 can whole kernel corn
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil on medium heat and then add the squash. While squash is getting tender, stir in the green chile and corn. I then add the cheese at the end, heating everything just long enough for the cheese to melt.
Some people put the entire dish in the oven and let it bake. Some recipes call for an addition of milk at the end. Regardless of how you choose to combine your ingredients, calabacitas are fresh, delicious, spicy and the perfect dish for the California nieces. And it’s definitely one of my favorite New Mexico dishes.Pin It

The north face of Mount Edith is an impressive climbing objective, particularly as viewed from the less steep, but much more popular, south face of Mount Louis. Due to snow melt drainage late into the season, it is hard to find either of the published routes (2012) on Mount Edith’s north face in dry condition. Both Greenwood-Boles and the Kafir Strikes Back (5.10c) routes were wet in late August, 2012. Whereas Kafir Strikes Back was seriously wet on its crux overhanging pitches, Greenwood-Boles only had one wet pitch, albeit a full vertical pitch of mud climbing (5.8).
Unlike many of the routes on Mount Louis across the col, Greenwood-Boles as Dougherty suggests in the “book of lies”, is considerably more sustained via nine long pitches of climbing in the 5.7-5.8 range. Via the descent, we found no evidence of anyone completing the route during 2012 and possibly for several years prior. All the descent rappels were rotted out. Several bail raps were found right below the drainage pitch indicating turnarounds by several parties. We cleaned up those bail raps and used same to reinforce and repair the descent raps down the gully on the west side of the north face.
Greenwood and Boles established this line in 1961. The only beta we could muster in 2012 was in the Selected Alpine guide book, aka, the "book of lies", which was of course, fairly sparse. The first pitch is shared with the Kafir Strikes Back route and follows an obvious corner straight up the middle of the north face from the apex of the scree below. Where the Kafir route continues up the tall corner, Greenwood-Boles turns due left for a full 200’ across a rotten ledge to a much easier corner system. The third and fourth pitches follow chossy corners up to a belay below magnificent (by Canadian Rockies standards) splitters on the right wall. We got sucked into following those splitters on up the right side of a roof forcing us to traverse back right in Kafir Strikes Back. However, this variation is not bad. Another easy traverse pitch up and left gets you back on track to the base of the dreaded wet pitch below an alcove often filled with snow. This drainage pitch (7th) can be the crux of the climbing due to its condition. The eighth pitch is fairly sustained up and left of the chimney above traversing back right into the corner before you get too run out. The final pitch, in my opinion, is best tackled straight in the wide corner above to the notch above. However, various pitons angle up and left via cracks with unstable rock. Carry a C4 #4 and tackle the final crack direct and you will be better served in my opinion.
As you would for the popular Mount Louis routes, park at the Cory and Edith Pass trailhead parking area. Take the Edith Pass trail option (straight) at the fork for Cory and Edith Passes. Turn left at a signed junction to head for the Mount Louis and Mount Edith col. Stay up and left on the scree and make for the apex of the scree on the left against the north face of Mount Edith. The route starts in an obvious tall corner directly center of the north face. Most folks will take a solid 2 hours to reach the base of the route.
Route Description1500’+/-, 9 Pitches, 5.8
1st Pitch- 60m- 5.7/ Climb up the corner on good rock past one small ledge and continue above to a much larger ledge. I did not find a good gear station here, thus started the traverse out left to a small 2” crack with a decent belay stance.
2nd Pitch- 45m- 4th/ Continue traversing way out left along the crumbling ledge to the base of an obvious chossy corner above that angles left to right before ramping back left (pitch 3).
3rd Pitch- 50m- 5.6/ Climb the chossy corner up right, traversing back left via a ramp feature and continue up to a comfortable belay below another right facing corner of choss.
4th Pitch- 40m- 5.7/ This pitch offers a less protected belay stance therefore the leader needs to climb with care. Climb the corner and turn left out of sight, make a few short crack moves and belay below nice splitters out on the right wall and another corner straight above leading to a roof.
5th Pitch- 60m- 5.8/ According to the line drawn on the guide book’s topo photo, we added a variation here. The roof blocks your view above. We assumed to stay with the prominent corner not to mention the climbing directly above was on the best rock of the day. But once you turn the roof, you have to traverse all the way back right into the Kafir Strikes Back corner/route for a belay. I presume one could have traversed left from the belay below and stayed in more direct corners to the left.
6th Pitch- 50m- 5th/ Traverse up and left to another ledge system that leads back around the arête and down to a belay in a small (probably wet) alcove with a chossy and mossy wet right facing corner above.
7th Pitch- 60m- 5.8/ In the condition I led it, this was no doubt the crux pitch of the day. Climb the ugly wet corner up moss and choss to a large rock/snow filled alcove above. Be ultra-careful not to knock rocks down on your belayer as you cross the alcove onto the much better rock above. Stay right and follow the left facing corner for a few finger crack moves up and then trend left on blocks to find a decent 2” crack to belay in. This higher belay will keep your rope from dropping loose rock on the 2nd.
8th Pitch- 60m- 5.8/ Move left of the wet chimney and climb up the face past a piton on good but run out ground until you can traverse back right staying within the grade back right into the crack/corner. The "book of lies" is quite vague on the whole route but particularly lacking on these last several pitches. Follow the corner to a good belay stance at the end of your rope.
9th Pitch- 40m- 5.8/ The last section of this pitch and the route for that matter involves the steepest climbing of the day. Follow the easy corner up and either tackle the steep, but short, 4”-6” crack above or follow the various pins up and left on suspect rock via several well protected cracks. I went up and left assuming there might be a surprise waiting for me above the wide crack (thus the numerous pins out left). But if I did it again, I would take a C4# 4 and finish in the corner/crack. Belay at the notch above.

Q: Do you still live in Edinburgh?
A: Yes I do.
Q: Do you feel that Scotland is effectively part of Europe?
A: Oh yeah. I believe in unification full stop, that's just my thing. I think that's an interesting point to make. I do think people particularly in the UK that they very separate from Europe, but I don't. I feel like a Scottish person first, but I also feel like a European. Definitely.
Q: Is Edinburgh where you first delved into music, or did you travel outside?
A: No. I grew up in Scotland, and that was where I first became involved in a band, and I'd never been outside the country before I joined a rock band called Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie.
Q: I actually interviewed [Goodbye Mr.MacKenzie lead singer] Martin Metcalfe a number of years ago and "Blacker Than Black" remains one of my favorite singles.
A: Oh my God!
Q: And I was a big fan of [Goodbye Mr.MacKenzie guitarist] Big John Duncan from his days with the Exploited, which is why I sought them out to begin with.
A: Wow. Yeah, I mean...I love both of those boys.
Q: Do you still stay in touch with Big John Duncan?
A: Yes I do. He was in a band called the Gin Goblins, but I think he's now in Amsterdam. He's in some sort've performance group, EXTREME performance group. He does kinda weird things. He plays guitar while people pierce their genitals, that kinda thing.
Q: Do you think there's still a thriving Scottish music scene, so to speak?
A: Oh yeah, absolutely. There's a lot of great things coming out of Scotland now which is really exciting.

The Orange County Register had an interesting front-pager yesterday:
A team of bureaucrats picked by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is quietly preparing a comprehensive reorganization of state government larger than any attempted in California history.
The plan, expected to be complete by April 30, would close down whole departments and consolidate others. Up to 200 state boards and commissions and 1,500 political appointees would be eliminated.

The Country Girls by Edna O’Brien opened my eyes to the power of teenage girls over silly old men.
The story is narrated by Caithleen Brady, a schoolgirl in a country village in Ireland during the 1960’s. Caithleen’s father is an alcoholic wife-beater, who drinks away any hope the family have of a better life. After Caithleen’s mother drowns in an accident, Caithleen wins a scholarship to a boarding school. Baba, Caithleen’s best friend, is a paying student at the same school.
Caithleen and Baba have a co-dependent relationship rather than a true friendship. Caithleen loves spending time in her best friend Baba’s comparatively affluent household, and Baba likes having Caithleen around so she can feel superior.
As Caithleen grows older she falls in love with the local toff, a man nicknamed ‘Mr Gentleman’ by the locals. Both Caithleen and Mr Gentleman exploit each other. Caithleen is in love with love, and doesn’t give Mrs Gentleman’s happiness any consideration at all. Caithleen’s innocence is debateable. Mr Gentleman grooms Caithleen from a young age, but due to Mrs Gentleman getting wind of the affair, they are stopped from going away together.
I believe The Country Girls is quite highly regarded, however I found the romantic adventures of Caithleen to be boring, and her life to be sordid and sad. The older girls at the school showed kindness towards the younger girls, but otherwise, there isn’t much good in any of the characters. The story ended abruptly, although I believe the book is part of a trilogy. I hope things work out well for Caithleen, however I won’t be reading on to find out if that is the case.

The Dangers of Substance Abuse In CollegeCollegiate Recovery
College is an extremely important time in many young people’s lives. They are at an amazing transitionary period where they are going from teens to adults. They may be living independently for the first time ever. All of the decisions they make are on their own accord and their parent’s input on their choices is at an all-time low. Currently, there are around 16 million people aged 15-24 who are enrolled in college. Each one of these students is following their unique path that will hopefully lead to their dreams being fulfilled. Sadly, some of these young people will have some speed bumps on their road to adulthood. Substance abuse in college is a serious issue and can easily change the course of a student’s future.
Alcohol and marijuana are the most commonly used substances among college students. It is completely normal for young people to dabble with these substances at this point in their lives. College students will often experiment with mood and mind-altering substances while in school due to the lack of supervision that they are experiencing for the first time in their lives. This new found freedom can be detrimental to some as they find that their actions have fewer consequences than they did while living with their parents.
Substance Abuse in College
Some students will put their education first and foremost. Sure, they may have a few drinks on weekends, but they always drink in moderation and make sure that they have all the necessary work done to continue on the right path. Some students may over-indulge a bit with alcohol and will face some mild issues related to their drinking. They may miss a few classes and see a decline in their grades due to their drinking; this is very common for freshmen. Hopefully, they realize the problems that their use is causing and take action to correct it. Then some students will plan their days around getting drunk and/or high. These students can face a variety of issues due to their actions. Their grades decline and their social relationships have been damaged. They may even find themselves with legal issues and in trouble with the school which can result in them being kicked out of college.
College students who struggle with substance abuse issues should seek professional help for their problems. Waiting to get help will only result in more issues and can lead to drastic life changes. Getting kicked out of school or facing serious legal repercussions is absolutely a potential result of substance abuse. If you or someone you care about are currently struggling please get help from a rehab center. This is not something that one should try to do alone, though, entering a treatment center is strongly suggested by most medical and addiction professionals.
College Substance Abuse Surveys and Reports
Students in college who abuse drugs or alcohol are more probable to develop issues related to addiction than those who do not use or only use substances occasionally. Not only can substance abuse cause a wide variety of personal problems for the individual, but it also has extensive adverse effects on society as a whole. When someone abuses drugs and/or alcohol they will become a danger to themselves and to the people around them. Driving while under the influence results in hundreds of thousands of accidents every year. People hooked on drugs will often result to crime to support their addiction.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) teams up with the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) to determine the number of college-age students who use and abuse mood and mind-altering substances. They work together to gather, analyzes and disseminates behavioral health data from sources such as the National Survey on Drug Use and Health commonly called NSDUH. NSDUH is a national data collection that provides insight into the use and treatment of substances among civilian, non-institutionalized populations over the age of 12.
The most recent data regarding college students aged 18-22 was recently gathered and reported to the public. NSDUH participants are questioned about their previous year and month of alcohol and illicit substance use. This is broken up into nine different categories: marijuana, cocaine (which includes crack), heroin, hallucinogens (such as acid and mushrooms, and inhalants, as well as the non-medical use of prescription pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. Though many laws have changed over the past decade in various states, marijuana is still classified as an illicit drug because it remains illegal to use marijuana on the federal level.
The study was done with the help of around 26,000 students in college who were between the ages of 18-22 during the time of the study. 21,000 of the students surveyed were full-time students and just under 5,000 were part-time students. These sample sizes are used to represent an annual average of 9 million full-time students and 2 million part-time students. This report presents the estimated number of first-time users of substances per college enrollment status on an average day. Due to the fact that there are more full-time college students than part-time college students, the number of full-time college students who are trying substances for the first time will be higher than the number of part-time college students who first use substances.
Substance Abuse Statistics for College Students
Over the year leading up to the study:
- 2,179 full-time college students reported that they drank alcohol for the first time that year.
- 1,326 college students who reported that they used an illicit drug for the first time that year.
- 453 part-time college students had drank alcohol for the first time that year.
- 174 part-time college students reported that they used an illicit drug for the first time ever that year.
Out of the 9,000,000 full-time college students in the United States:
- Over 12% drank alcohol on a daily basis over the past year.
- Nearly 750,000 students reported that they used marijuana on an average day over the past year.
- Out of the 2,000,000 part-time college students in the US, approximately 240,000 drank alcohol and 195,020 used marijuana on an average day over the past year.
More than one-third of full-time college students between the ages of 18 and 22 reported binge drinking in the past thirty days. Binge drinking is when someone has a large amount of alcohol in a single day and becomes intoxicated. For men, binge drinking is defined as having five or more alcoholic drinks within a two hour period, for women it is four drinks. While occasional binge drinking is not healthy, it can be normal for college-aged students. When intoxicated the risk of sexual assault, unplanned pregnancy, violence, and other problems will rise significantly.
About twenty percent of college students reported that they have used an illicit drug in the last month. Substance use is one of the most severe public health problems for young individuals in the United States, generating adverse health, social and financial implications for college students, their families, communities, schools and the entire nation.
Commonly Abused Substances in College
The most popular drugs for college students are cocaine, marijuana, Adderall, molly (MDMA), Xanax, and opiates. Some of these substances are much more addictive and harmful than others. While it does have some addictive properties, people who use marijuana regularly will typically face fewer problems than someone with opiate or cocaine related abuse issues. According to the CDC:
“70,237 drug overdose deaths occurred in the United States in 2017. The age-adjusted rate of overdose deaths increased significantly by 9.6% from 2016 (19.8 per 100,000) to 2017 (21.7 per 100,000). Opioids—mainly synthetic opioids (other than methadone)—are currently the main driver of drug overdose deaths. Opioids were involved in 47,600 overdose deaths in 2017 (67.8% of all drug overdose deaths).”
Adderall is a prescription drug that is used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and narcolepsy. It is a combination of amphetamine and dextroamphetamine, which are classified as central nervous system stimulants. Taking Adderall may help increase the ability to focus, pay attention and control behavior. The drug increases the activity of the brain chemicals dopamine and norepinephrine and will stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. College students will often use Adderall to help them focus and stay awake, which will allow them to cram for an upcoming exam.
Some students will abuse this drug for recreational purposes and seek out it’s powerful mood and mind altering properties. Just because a doctor can prescribe this drug does not mean that it is harmless. Adderall is an amphetamine and is highly addictive and the number of college students who are misusing this drug have risen dramatically over the past 20 years. A study of more than 9,000 college students from across the United States found that more than 50% of students with an Adderall prescription were asked to sell the medication to peers and friends.
Molly is a popular party drug that has become a more prevalent issue recently. Molly, also known as MDMA or ecstasy, is a synthetic drug that changes mood and perception. It is comparable in chemical composition to hallucinogens and stimulants, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). When someone takes molly they will simulate their emotions and will have intense sensations of pleasure and joy while simultaneously distorting time and sensory perception by raising serotonin, epinephrine, and dopamine concentrations in the brain. MDMA is particularly popular at clubs and music festivals because it allows people to remain up all night dancing. It is typically taken orally and sold in little capsules, which makes the drug easy to hide and take.
Both Adderall and molly are addictive mentally, but they do not possess many physically addictive properties. Recently, some extremely dangerous prescription drugs that have become more popular among college students. Prescription opiates and benzodiazepines are now abundant at universities throughout the United States. Pills like Percocet, Xanax, Klonopin, and Vicodin are highly addictive, both physically and mentally. College students can easily obtain benzodiazepines from a doctor or therapist. Xanax is currently the most prescribed medication in the United States. This pill is intended to treat severe anxiety, panic attacks, and seizures, but it is often sought out for recreational purposes. Even worse, students often combine benzos other substances like alcohol. Mixing benzos with alcohol is extremely dangerous, and can even lead to heart failure and brain failure which can be fatal.
The US is currently in the middle of the worst drug crisis that it has ever faced. The opioid epidemic has caused widespread devastation in every corner of our nation. College-aged students are among the most widely affected demographics by this drug class. Last year there were over 47,000 overdose deaths linked to opiates, that’s more than 100 people per day. Opiates are possibly the most serious substance abuse threat for college students. These drugs are highly addictive, both physically and mentally. Some people who struggle with addiction issues report feeling hooked on opiates after just one use. Once someone becomes physically dependent on opioids it will be very difficult for them to get clean without the help of a rehab center.
How to Prevent Substance Abuse in College
Combating substance abuse among college students has been a big concern for our country for years. Prevention is frequently discussed and researched by leading medical and addiction professionals throughout the United States. One of the primary problems is that the data on success rates on prevention methods tend to be pretty difficult to confirm and analyze. Using just one method of prevention is quite rare and will only lower overall success rates. Due to this fact, many colleges will take multiple preventative measures to play it safe. It’s always better to have more plans and actions in effect than just one. There are college substance abuse prevention methods that tend to be more popular than others.
One of the most common forms of prevention is educating students about the negative health effects of drinking and substance abuse. By teaching students about the drastic consequences that their body and mind can face if they are to abuse substances will often help them make educated decisions. Of course, this isn’t a 100% effective method, but professionals believe it helps lower the number of alcohol and substance abuse-related issues. By understanding what excessive alcohol consumption can do to their bodies, college students may choose to set a limit on how much alcohol they consume.
There are also laws in effect that help lower overall substance abuse rates among college students. When this is combined with strict rule enforcement by the school, those who break these laws/rules will face some serious repercussions. Many laws already exist throughout the United States that are designed to lower the amount of underage drinking and substance abuse that takes place. It is important that bars, clubs, and liquor stores near the college strictly enforce the legal drinking age. This has shown to be one of the most effective ways to reduce alcohol-related issues, especially in large college towns. Local store owners, restaurant managers, and school administrators can help cut down on the amount of alcohol and substance abuse-related issues by heavily enforcing these federal laws and campus rules consistently.
Restrictions on bars are imperative to help lower alcohol abuse related issues among college students. It is important to put regulations on how close bars and liquor stores are to each other and the campus. When there are a series of bars in a row on a single street the risk of alcohol abuse in that area will rise. Drug use and abuse are also common in areas where drinking is excessively prevalent. Studies have shown that incidents involving alcohol are more common in places where special prices on drinks are heavily advertised, particularly when targeting college students.
It is important that peers, parents, and professors question the student’s understanding of the effects of substances on their personal lives. Many college students will do drugs or consume alcohol because they believe it will help their social standing. They believe it makes them more sociable and that it can even increase their chances of a sexual encounter. Many students will decrease their use of drugs and alcohol when they recognize that this is not only untrue, but may actually have the opposite impact. This is especially the case for those who abuse drugs or drink in excess on a regular basis. These people will often find themselves alone and even ostracized by their peers as their substance abuse becomes a more serious problem.
Helping a College Student with Substance Abuse Issues
Any college student who struggles with substance abuse issues will face a variety of difficulties in their life. There are warning signs of addiction that are easy to identify and will help you spot when a friend or family member is struggling. If drugs and/or alcohol have become an issue, the person battling substance abuse may start isolating or will drastically change their friend group to match their new life choices. If their old friends don’t use drugs or drink as often as they do, the individual will often seek out new friends who do. If they cannot find a group that also uses substances in excess they might begin isolating and using alone.
Substance abuse in college will often lead to a dramatic change in that student’s grades. The time that they used to put toward school work and studying has now been dedicated to getting high and drunk. Hangovers can easily make them miss class which can lead to multiple absences. This can result in them getting dropped from the class and potentially even kicked out of the school.
Someone who struggles with substance abuse can easily find themselves with legal issues. While under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol, our brain’s ability to make reasonable decisions will drop substantially. Driving under the influence is very common for college students with substance abuse issues. If they are caught operating a motor vehicle that can face some serious fines, jail time, and expulsion from school.
If narcotic drugs are the primary issue and have been regularly abused for months, then the struggling person’s entire life will change. Being physically dependent on a drug will change the way that person acts and reacts to everyday situations. Their main thought will always be “where can I get it (my drug) and how will I afford it?”. This will often lead the individual to steal, lie, and manipulate the people around them to support their addiction.
No matter what the substance being abused is, some physical and mental changes are easy to notice. Some common symptoms can include:
- A lack of care about their personal hygiene
- Gaining or losing weight in a short amount of time
- Mood swings and irritability
- Increased depression and anxiety
If you or someone you care about are currently in college and struggling with substance abuse issues, please seek out professional help. Overcoming this alone is not only difficult, but it is also dangerous and rarely successful. There are treatment centers that are designed for young adults and that will cater to their specific needs.

UEL researcher Dr Ian Tucker has secured funding from the EPSRC Communities and Culture Network+ to investigate the impact of a new online peer support site run by the leading mental health charity Mind.
The ’Social Media and Austerity: Online Peer Support in Mental Health Communities’ project aims to provide a working definition of ‘online peer-support’ by analysing the charity’s recently launched Elefriends site. Mental health communities are feeling the full extent of current austerity measures due to the redistribution of social care services and significant closure of physical community spaces. This participatory action research seeks to address the experiences of a vulnerable community in a culture of austerity and will explore the capacity of service users to enhance their mental health by engaging with peer-support practices through social media.
The project is funded by EPSRC Communities and Culture Network+, and works with the mental health charity Mind to investigate the impact of the charity’s recently launched peer support social media site – Elefriends (www.elefriends.org.uk) Analysing online posts, as well as interviews with users, the project explores exactly what peer-support means for service users using Elefriends. The aim is to develop a working definition of ‘online peer-support’ to be developed from one of the first major mental health social media initiatives in the UK.
Further information is available from the project’s web page http://www.communitiesandculture.org/projects/social-media-austerity/
Dr Ian Tucker has considerable experience with researching community mental health, and digital technologies. He is a core Network+ member, and an expert member of the EU COST Action Living in Surveillance Societies (LiSS). He was PI on a Mental Health Foundation funded project investigating the impact of life transitions on older mental health service users, and has conducted research exploring the relationships between space and place, identity and mental distress. He has managed RAs and has high impact journal publications in the areas of community mental health, space and technologies. He has existing links with voluntary sector mental health charities (Mind), and has managed research that includes mental health service users as partners in the project (Service User Research).

I'd love to get some info on Smith and Wesson model 1917. I just purchased one with a Brazilian Gov't stamp. My first revolver. Thanks!
September 30, 1999, 09:58 PM
That pistol was part of a contract with Brazil for 25,000 guns. There were two shipments, with most of the guns being shipped in 1938, but about 800 being shipped in 1946. Those I have seen have the Brazilian crest and the date 1937 on the sideplate. There seems to be a mixture of new and surplus parts, as many parts have the eaglehead indicating U.S. acceptance. Whether S&W made those guns using some surplus parts or whether at least some guns were refurbished surplus U.S. WWI guns, I don't know.
The Brazilian guns, like the U.S. guns, fire the .45 ACP round with half moon clips (full moon clips are a recent development) or the .45 Auto Rim. The latter cartridge, now discontinued but often available, has an extra thick rim to take the place of the clip.
Apparently, S&W called the gun the Model 1917 and sold a commercial version as the 1917 Army, but I think that technically, the term "Model of 1917" would have applied only to those guns made for the U.S. government.
P.S. If you are going to shoot it, get some modern grips; the old ones are hurtful to the hand. (Save the old grips for restoration to collector status.)

That I completed it! Yay!
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
You can do it!! And the reason you sew it the first time with the pretty side showing raw edges is you are in the process of making french seams. It will all make sense in the end!:)


After missing out on getting hold of a copy of December's MagPi magazine with a free Pi Zero, I turned to the many Raspberry Pi suppliers in an attempt to get my hands on a one of these newly released miniature boards. Only to be dissapointed again after the first released batch had sold out everywhere. I thought not to worry I'll just wait for the next batch, and to my disbelief I'd missed the window again. I followed on Twitter the news that the Zero's were back in stock but I mistaklenly allowed 24 hours to pass before I was ready to purchase and I'd missed out yet again.
Following the announcements that there were more Zero's on the way, this time I was ready. thepithut.com released 50% of their stock for sale from 9am, by 9.07am my purchase was confirmed, and the very next day I was the proud owner of this 6.5cm by 3cm computer.
Now to setup the Zero and check out its performance.
I prepared a micro SD card with the Raspbian Jessie operating system, connected all required peripherals and booted up for the first run. I was pleasantly surprised to find myself presented with the familiar desktop interface, without having to log in at the command line or to "start" the GUI environment. From here I installed all the neccessary libraries, as outlined on the How To page, along with the C2 Fishy Pi game.
For testing I was using a Concept2 PM5 connected by USB and a rowing simluator mp3 audio file fed to the signal input socket. Now it was all ready to go.
I was so pleased to see that the application ran beautifully, there was no lag whatsoever, and the cpu was showing a steady reading of 80%-84%. The equipment I used in the entire setup was:
- Pi Zero running Raspbian Jessie
- Kingston microSD 16gb Class 10
- USB to microUSB adaptor cable
- Advent 4-port powered USB Hub
- Edimax Wifi dongle
- Rii wireless keyboard w/tracker pad
- LCD Monitor connected by VGA to HDMI adaptor with a HDMI to microHDMI extender
- Mains Adaptor 5v - 2A microUSB
- Concept2 PM5
- MP3 player audio rowing siumlator
I consider this as a resounding success, and I have to take my hat off to the extremely good people at the Raspberry Pi foundation for their remarkable achievements.

Microneedling FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
MICRONEEDLING - FAQ
Aesthetics & Wellness
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing process and promoting the production of collagen. This treatment can help improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone and texture.
The procedure typically involves using a device with a number of tiny, sterile needles that create controlled punctures in the skin. The needle length and depth can be adjusted based on the specific concerns being treated and the desired outcome. The punctures stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin, which can help improve the overall appearance of the skin.
One of the main benefits of microneedling is that it is relatively non-invasive and has minimal downtime, compared to other skin rejuvenation treatments such as chemical peels or laser resurfacing. The procedure itself takes only 30-60 minutes, and most patients experience only mild redness and swelling after treatment, which typically fades within a few hours.
Microneedling is safe for all skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, arms, legs, and even the body. The number of treatments required will vary depending on the specific concerns being addressed and the desired outcome, but most patients see improvement after just one treatment, with optimal results typically achieved after three to six treatments.
While microneedling can be performed alone, it is often combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, for enhanced results. During PRP therapy, a small sample of the patient’s own blood is drawn and processed to concentrate the platelets and growth factors. The concentrated platelets are then applied to the skin during the microneedling treatment, which can further enhance the skin’s natural healing process and promote the production of new collagen and elastin.

What type of energy does a bow and arrow have?
The bow stores energy as potential energy as it is drawn. When the bow is released that potential energy is converted into kinetic energy which moves; the bow, arrow and string.
What type of energy is drawing a bow?
A bow is essentially a two-armed spring that stores mechanical “potential energy” when the string is drawn and pulls back the limbs.
What type of energy can be displayed if an arrow was pulled back by a bow?
When the arrow is being pulled back it stores potential energy. Though once released, the energy is then converted into kinetic energy which launches the arrow.
Is stretched bow has potential energy?
Energy | Short/Long Answer Questions A stretched bow has the potential energy because of its stretched position. When the stretched bow is released, the potential energy of the bow changes into kinetic energy of the arrow.
How much energy is in an arrow?
Kinetic energy of an arrow can be found by using the formula KE=(mv²)/450,240 where m = mass of the arrow in grains and v = velocity of the arrow in fps….Understanding Arrow & Bow Kinetic Energy.
|Kinetic Energy||Hunting Usage|
|25-41 ft. lbs||Medium Game (deer, antelope, etc.)|
What type of energy is represented in the picture of the bow and arrow?
Shooting an arrow requires different types of energy. The archer supplies the initial energy by drawing the bow. The limbs of the bow provide elastic potential energy as they are pulled back by the bow string. The energy that the arrow has is called kinetic energy – the energy of motion.
What kind of energy is stored in food?
Food is an example of stored chemical energy that is converted into usable energy by our cells.
Where does an arrow get its energy of motion?
What is the form of energy possessed by a stretched bow?
Elastic Potential Energy is stored because a force is applied to the string.
How much force is behind an arrow?
The force acting on the arrow is equal to the draw force as the archer pulls the string back to the release position (at full draw). This force can be in the range of 30-50 lb which is very large compared to the mass of the arrow, which is why it accelerates so rapidly (due to Newton’s second law, F = ma).
What has more kinetic energy a bullet or an arrow?
Arrows, on the other hand, have relatively lower velocities and kinetic energies than bullets. However, they are much heavier, longer, and more robust as projectiles when compared to bullets.
Where is energy stored in ATP?
Adenosine Triphosphate Energy is stored in the bonds joining the phosphate groups (yellow). The covalent bond holding the third phosphate group carries about 7,300 calories of energy. Food molecules are the $1,000 dollar bills of energy storage.
How is conservation of energy used in bow and arrow?
Bow and Arrow. Use conservation of energy to predict the height the arrow will reach. When the string of a bow and arrow is pulled from equilibrium, the elastic potential energy in the bow is converted to kinetic energy of the arrow when the string is released.
Why does an arrow take more kinetic energy?
A heavier arrow will be able to absorb more of the energy from the bow and convert it into kinetic energy down range, and because the arrow takes more energy out of the bow, there is less noise and vibration of the bow upon release.
How much energy from a bow goes into kinetic energy of the?
I think so. The data looks fairly linear with a slope of 0.548. This means that if I pulled back the string and used 100 Joules of work, about 54.8 Joules would go into the kinetic energy of the arrow. But where does the rest of the energy go?
What happens when a bow and arrow is released?
What it shows: When the string of a bow and arrow is pulled from equilibrium, the elastic potential energy in the bow is converted to kinetic energy of the arrow when the string is released. When the arrow reaches the top of its flight, it has zero kinetic energy and the initial elastic potential energy is now gravitational potential energy…

ZTE finally releases its affordable mid-ranger – the Nubia 5S mini – in the States
Being a "mini" version of ZTE's flagship, it comes with toned down specs. Its SoC is a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, clocked at 1.7 GHz; RAM is pinned at the pretty adequate 2 GB, and internal storage is at 16 GB. The phone lacks a microSD slot to expand said storage, so that's a drag. The screen has a 720 x 1280 resolution that spreads across 4.7 inches. The main snapper has 13 megapixels and lacks optical image stabilization – something that the bigger Nubia Z5 does have. Still, selfie-lovers needn't worry, as the front camera has 5 megapixels to capture duckfaces in all their glory. Meanwhile, battery has a decent capacity of 2,000 mAh.
All in all, the ZTE Nubia Z5S mini seems like a decent mid-ranger, and at the price of $280 off-contract, it's worth a look. Still, the Moto G and its $180 price-tag may yet be a better deal.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas — Many of the biggest players in the Caribbean tourism industry have gathered here for the annual Caribbean Hotel and Tourism Association’s Caribbean Travel Marketplace conference.
It is the second year in a row that the Bahamas has been the host country for the conference; it has been held at the Atlantis resort each time.
The conference joins suppliers, such as hotels, restaurants and tourist boards, with buyers — tour operators and wholesalers, along with heavy industry-focused discussions.
Last week, Bahamas Tourism Minister Obie Wilchcombe said the marketplace helped contribute to a “turnaround” last year in Caribbean tourism, particularly in the Bahamas.
The Bahamas reportedly saw its best tourism year since 2008 last year, Wilchcombe said, including increases in hotel occupancy rates.
The conference officially begins Sunday evening.


Commenced in January 2007

A Study of Dynamic Clustering Method to Extend the Lifetime of Wireless Sensor Network
Abstract:In recent years, the research in wireless sensor network has increased steadily, and many studies were focusing on reducing energy consumption of sensor nodes to extend their lifetimes. In this paper, the issue of energy consumption is investigated and two adaptive mechanisms are proposed to extend the network lifetime. This study uses high-energy-first scheme to determine cluster heads for data transmission. Thus, energy consumption in each cluster is balanced and network lifetime can be extended. In addition, this study uses cluster merging and dynamic routing mechanisms to further reduce energy consumption during data transmission. The simulation results show that the proposed method can effectively extend the lifetime of wireless sensor network, and it is suitable for different base station locations.

How to model a short (1D), long (1.5D), 3D, 5D, or custom bend radius Elbows in AutoPIPE?
AutoPIPE's Bend Point dialog screen has a Bend radius field which defaults to Long radius with pull down options
Options for this field:
1. Accept the default setting (Long)
2. Highlight the entire field value, and then manually enter a numeric number for the Bend radius.
3. Select an options from the Drop Down Listing: Long (1.5D) , short (1D), 3D, or 5D.
Note: units for the field are in bottom right hand corner of application screen.
Node point numbering
A bend indicates a change in piping direction. For each bend in a system, there are at least four points placed in the model by AutoPIPE.
1. The most important of these is the tangent intersection point (TIP). The tangent points at the beginning and end of the bend are located automatically based on the location of the TIP. The other important points are
2. The start of the bend (Near point) which is tangent to arc of the bend and previous node point
3. The end of the bend (Far point) which is tangent to arc of the bend and next node point
4. The Mid point which can be located at any position along the arc of the bend, between the Near and Far point.
Node point numbering depends on the "Default point name format" setting on Edit Model Options dialog.
When the "Point name format" = "Alphanumeric" and the "Point name offset" = "10", the point names in the WALKTHRU model below start with A00 and are incremented by 10, i.e. A00, A10, A20, etc. At bends e.g. A20 the near point is A20N and far point is A20F.
When the "Point name format" = "Numeric" and the "Point name offset" = "10", the point names in the WALKTHRU model start with 10 and are incremented by 10, i.e. 10, 20, 30, etc. The near and far points of the bends are assigned unique numeric values instead of appending the character "N" or "F" to the point name as for alphanumeric numbering. For example if the bend tip is point 30, the near and far points of the first bend in the WALKTHRU model below are assigned 20 and 40, respectively
Offset = 1

The family Schaus-Colbach runs a typical family exploitation, which puts the well-being of the animals and nature into the spotlight and not only the mere economic activity. Thus, the farmers experience their work as fulfilment. They work in harmony with nature in a natural circuit and produce their own animal fodder. Doing so, they support the biodiversity on their pastures and meadows, which in return improves the quality of their animal feed.
The farm is a member of the BIOG association, which collects, processes and markets his products. Moreover, the sell their products via direct marketing on the farm and market their meat through Bio-Maufel.
It is important to us to contribute to the protection of nature through our organic protuction and to practice a form of agriculture that is a close to nature as possible.

Many women use hormone replacement therapy to ease the symptoms of menopause. But a new scientific review getting a lot of attention says long-term use of any kind of hormones can raise a woman's risk of breast cancer.
Researchers tracked 60,000 nurses and found taking any kind of hormones for a decade or more slightly raised their breast cancer risk. But might this unnecessarily alarm women and their doctors?
I joined Good Day NY this morning to talk about it. Here is the video:

Today marks the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf Coast, killing nearly 2,000 people and dislocating thousands more. To commemorate the date, Athens rock legends Five Eight have released a brand new tune, "The Flood," featuring lead vocals from Drive-By Truckers' Patterson Hood.

Like all downtown Athens watering holes, the popular bar and music venue Little Kings Shuffle Club has seen its share of unruly patrons over the years: The infamous patio pooper comes to mind, as does a recent incident in which a man attempted to steal money from a tip jar, was thrown out and responded by breaking one of the club's windows.
After a series of similarly unfortunate events last weekend—the first following the start of UGA's fall semester—the bar at the corner of Hancock Avenue and Hull Street will only admit customers who are aged 25 or older on Fridays and Saturdays. The change is effective immediately.
Athens band Wieuca has slowly, steadily carved out a spot in the scene by transforming its once-boilerplate indie rock sound into something psych-addled, pop-minded and altogether more exploratory. Hints of krautrock dot "Pressure Head," the group's new single, which you can stream below:
Portland, OR psych-pop band Unknown Mortal Orchestra played the Creature Comforts parking lot Thursday night, with support from local group Mothers. The show, co-presented by the Slingshot Festival, was part of Urban Outfitters' grand opening celebration. Below, check out photos from the event.
On Wednesday, Aug. 26 at the Caledonia Lounge, local band scooterbabe will play its first show in Athens in nearly a year. The indie-pop trio played what was erroneously labeled as its “final show” last Halloween right before lead guitarist and vocalist JJ Posway moved to Brooklyn.
In the last year, scooterbabe still managed to release a career-spanning compilation and a standalone single. The band also played one show in New York, with Posway serving as the only original member. Unfortunately, even though Posway is back in Georgia for the time being, original drummer Grafton Tanner is moving to Chicago. It’s unclear how or if scooterbabe will move forward after Wednesday's show.
Flagpole talked to Posway about the initial rise of scooterbabe, why he left Athens when he did and what it feels like to come back.
Billy Bob Thornton is best known for his work in film, but he has a long musical history, too. His band The Boxmasters is currently touring behind a couple of new records, including Providence, recently released via the group's website. Flagpole caught up with Thornton and his bandmate J.D. Andrew in advance of Tuesday's show at the Georgia Theatre.

As the slow season wraps up, there's exciting stuff in store from some of Athens' talented locals, including the Aug. 28 release of Shaky, the new album from psych-rock songstress Thayer Sarrano. Check out the record's vibe-heavy first single, "Touch My Face," below:

In addition to the external battery chargers, we offer embeddable solutions to charge standard battery packs in mobile or stationary applications. These PCB-based products represents the ideal solution for each electronic developer, saving time and money while design-in a battery and related charging solution. The charging electronic will operate as a power manager. This means, if an external power supply is attached to the application, the power manager will charge the battery and supplies power to the device. If the power supply fails or is detached, the power management board will automatically switch the application’s power source from power supply to battery to allow an interrupt free usability. The embeddable solutions communicate via SMBus with battery and host; enable individual parameter setting as well. Approved according to IEC60601, they are the best solution for medical and industrial applications.
The advantages of our embedded solutions are:
- Immediate availability for embedded charging solutions
- No NRE: no additional development, approvals or design costs
- Time to market: immediate product availability

Mobility is one of the most important aspects of life in the city and bicycling can make the difference.
In recent years, population growth has led to an exponential increase in the number of cars that roll daily on the streets, contributing to traffic jams. Because of this, a bike is an economical and eco-friendly option for transportation.
Urban development can reach critical points for cars. That is why riding a bike has it´s advantages:
Finally, keep in mind that the traffic code requires that all people traveling by bicycle on public roads must wear a helmet at all times, and after 6 pm must wear reflective safety vest and lights for the other cyclists, drivers and pedestrians can see it in the distance.

Dump Truck Blues: Battle Cry of The Wanderlust is a fusion of Hip Hop, Funk, Soul and Blues to create a new canvas of music called "The New Blues." Avenging Wind, formerly known as Fathom 9, takes the listener on an eclectic ride through the multiverse of soul and sound.
"Why 'Dump Truck Blues'?
Because just about every form of artistic expression that exists was never given a name by those who practiced it. And while names and genres make things easier to categorize and access, there are all of these constructed walls that are built around the essence of that which is being expressed; it now has definition, and therefore--limits.
Dump Truck Blues, while being a label/genre itself, is a space created SOLELY by the artist, and in that space the artist retains sovereign agency. Specifically--Dump Truck Blues--while having 'Blues' as a part of its name--seeks to create a 'New Blues Narrative': one that celebrates the individuality of the artist's expression of their truth, and the very insurgency to status quo.
What does Dump Truck Blues sound like???
Whatever the hell it wants to sound like!"
This project would not have been possible without the faith and support of a select group of individuals who kept their proverbial (and sometimes literal) foot in my ass, and did not give up on me--even when I wanted to give up. I have grown artistically and personally as a result of this project, and I the hunger is ripe with newness. The names below hold a special place in my heart:
Mordecai the Foul
"I AM...a New Blues Man." --Avenging Wind

ooh I can’t wait for this movie to come out. I will have myself up in the theater for this movie! the cast is stunning. But I think there is something missing from this picture. I was hoping that Wolverine and Spiderman would join the rest of the Avengers, unless these are the people that they have for right now. Being a huge Avengers fan I have high expectations for the movie.
The cast: Robert Downey Jr. (Tony Stark/Iron Man), Clark Gregg (Agent Phil Coulson), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Scarlett Johansson (The Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America) as well as newcomers Mark Ruffalo (Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) gathered together to the roars of a jam-packed Hall H at San Diego Convention Center. The Avengers is scheduled to be released May 4, 2012.

JustFoodForDogs is pleased to announce that Dr. Lisa Weeth, DVM, Dipl. ACVN will join Dr. John Tegzes, VMD, Dipl. ACVT; Dr. Laura Wilson DVM, Dipl. ACVD; and Dr. Oscar E. Chavez, BVetMed, MRCVS, professor in clinical veterinary nutrition and Chief Medical Officer at JustFoodForDogs along with six other staff veterinarians to its wide ranging and growing team of veterinary experts.
Dr. Lisa Weeth is a graduate of the University of California at Davis. She is in fact 100% a Davis success story! She received her undergraduate and doctorate degree in veterinary medicine at the prestigious university, and then completed rigorous additional training through their competitive nutrition residency program to become a board-certified Veterinary Nutritionist. There are only 83 active members of the American College of Veterinary Nutrition (ACVN) worldwide, which makes Dr. Weeth’s expertise extremely unique. “Fresh food diets can be an integral and effective part of the treatment for certain diseases in our companion dogs. I am thrilled to share the knowledge I’ve gained over my years in specialty practice to help enhance the JustFoodForDogs team and the foods they produce.” says Dr. Weeth. “As the whole food movement expands we are proud to have Dr. Weeth, one of the earliest adopters of whole food nutrition, join our group” stated Dr. Chavez, Chief Medical Officer.
This addition further cements JustFoodForDogs’ commitment to a whole-food, vet-centric approach to feeding companion dogs and cats for both health and disease management. With independent university research on its six daily maintenance diets, five large working kitchens open to the public, nine veterinarians on staff, and the only line of locally-sourced whole food therapeutic diets readily available for prescribing veterinarians, in just 7 years JustFoodForDogs has developed a new and innovative way of managing health through the feeding of whole food diets and has positioned itself to bridge a growing divide between pet parents and veterinarians who are looking for an answer to the question,- “how can I feed my four legged family member something other than kibble or canned but that is safer for my whole family than a raw meat diet?”
Dr. Oscar Chavez and Dr. John Tegzes are proud to lead a team of extremely intelligent and forward thinking veterinarians and specialists. As a company, JustFoodForDogs takes pride in working with like-minded, pet-loving partners and veterinarians that help further our mission: more life, more years, and more love with our pets.
