Neo Contra (ネオコントラ, Neo Kontora) is the tenth video game in the Contra series by Konami. It was developed by Team Neo Kijirushi, a group of staff members within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and released for the PlayStation 2 in 2004. The game is a direct follow-up to Contra: Shattered Soldier, but returns to the multidirectional shooting format and departs from the traditional scrolling shooter formula from previous games. It was the first game in the series to receive an ''M'' rating from the ESRB, and was the only installment to receive said rating until the release of Rogue Corps in 2019.
Gameplay[edit]
Neo Contra once again brings the games back into three dimensions. However, unlike the titles developed under Appaloosa Interactive, players only need to aim in the third dimension upon rare occasions. Additionally, this title eradicates the boss-oriented gameplay of Hard Corps and the previous 32-bit titles, and seeks a balance more reminiscent of the 8-bit and SNES Contra games; long free-form shooting sections, interspliced with boss encounters.
Additionally, gameplay varies depending upon the level and camera angle presented (the camera cannot be user-controlled). Most of the game is played in an isometric perspective, but portions are side-scrolling or overhead-behind. The player cannot jump. Instead, two new defensive moves are added that allow the player to effectively evade in the new dimensions: dash and spin. Dash gives the player a quick burst of speed to evade hostiles, while spin gives the player an instance of invulnerability. The hit-ratio system that was introduced in Shattered Soldier has been kept in this title.
The game uses a modified version of the three-weapon configuration from Shattered Soldier. The player has two types of firearms used against ground-level targets, one with regular ammo and the other with flammable rounds, and a third weapon used to lock-on airborne targets. The player can choose from one of the three initially available weapon sets (one which includes the famous Spread Shot from the earlier Contra games, which was missing in Shattered Soldier), with three additional sets that are time-release. The Type F configuration features the GV Laser and Ripple Laser, both weapons from Gradius V.
There are a total of seven stages in the game. Like Shattered Soldier, the four initial stages can played in any order and be replayed anytime for higher grading. The fifth stage can only be selected by clearing the first four stages, while the sixth and seventh stages are only available if players maintain an above average grade overall. There is a difficulty setting in the options menu, and playing on Easy difficulty grants players 30 lives to beat the first four missions, but on this difficulty it is impossible to view the game's ending. Normal mode offers players 5 lives and 7 continues to complete the seven missions of the game.
Neo Contra also marks the return of the time limit from some versions of the original Contra games, with the last third of the sixth stage granting the player such to complete the mission. Unlike the timed missions in the original Contra where the player loses one life once the time limit drops to zero, the entire game is over once the player is unable to complete the last part of the sixth stage within said time limit.
Neo Contra takes place during A.D. 4444 when the Earth has been transformed into a prison planet, home to criminals and political rebels. From this underworld society rises a new order called "Neo Contra". This government quickly showed its true colors, as it has other plans than bringing back normal civilization. Carrying out this new threat are four renegade Contras (elite warriors), who are called the Four Elite, united under the command of mysterious Master Contra. Thus, Bill Rizer is partnered with Genbei "Jaguar" Yagyu, a samurai, and the two are sent to Earth to deal with the Neo Contra threat. After defeating the Four Elite, the heroes discover the truth behind "Neo Contra", which is a facade for "Project C", a plan to create half-human AI from Bill Rizer's DNA, as an ultimate weapon, which is now Master Contra. Bill Rizer himself is just a clone of the original one, a side-objective of "Project C". With the help of Mystery G, an elder Contra operative, the heroes managed to defeat Master Contra and put an end to "Project C".
Cast[edit]
Bill Rizer - Bill, the supreme Contra warrior, is once again awoken from his cryogenic sleep of nearly two thousand years. He is now ordered to destroy the "Neo Contra" threat, a new organization that poses a much deeper threat to the world. He is, in fact, a clone of the original Bill Rizer, a result of the military "Project C".
Genbei "Jaguar" Yagyu - A samurai Contra, who is Bill's new partner. A mysterious dark-skinned humanoid alien (or African American) in the forty-fifth century who follows the code of the Samurai. He is the only character able to wield the Katana, the most powerful weapon in the game. The character is based on the real-life black samurai Yasuke from the Sengoku period of Feudal Japan history.
The Four Hell Warriors of Neo Contra - The four elite members of the "Neo Contra" organization:
Guerilla Contra: the pipe-smoking military commander.
Plant Contra: the plant/cyborg hybrid.
Pheromone Contra: Lucia (aka Bionoid LCR), who once assisted Bill during the events of Contra: Shattered Soldier.
Animal Contra: the talking bull terrier.
Mystery G - A mysterious elderly Contra operative. While not openly confirmed in the game, it is acknowledged that Mystery G is the actual Bill Rizer, having survived for centuries, somehow.
Master Contra - The leader of "Neo Contra" and threat to humanity. He is, in fact, the main result of "Project C": the ultimate war machine, a bionic AI, which consists of the original Bill Rizer's DNA and consciousness combined with cybernetics and weapons of mass destruction.

Dave's Universe
An important book: Marc Kuchner's "Marketing for Scientists"
Posted by David Eicher
on Thursday, March 8, 2012
Well, I wish I had better news. The business of science is in as uncomfortable a position as it's ever been these days. In an age when education should be at its greatest level ever, when more people than ever should realize that science is the way to understand and make the most of the world around us, scientists are struggling for funding, for livelihoods, for success. Somehow, more people need to awaken their minds to the fact that there are bigger things to do than debate endlessly who is the most obnoxious and dimwitted among the contestants on Survivor.
David J. Eicher
Enter this difficult arena in a difficult economy one Marc Kuchner. Marc is an astronomer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, in Greenbelt, Maryland, who specializes in, among other activities, studying extrasolar planets. He is a good friend and contributor to Astronomy. He is also a country songwriter. That's right — and it was on a trip to Nashville, Tennessee, talking to people in the music business, that he realized his musical ambitions weren't being marketed the right way. And that astronomers, in today's world, aren't concerned with marketing themselves at all. That is, by Marc's definition, presenting yourself and your needs, wishes, and desires so they fulfill the needs and desires of others.
This realization led to Marc's crusade to ask scientists and science writers to market themselves the right way in order to achieve more success. In his new book, Marketing for Scientists: How to Shine in Tough Times (236 pp., paper. Island Press, Washington, 2012, $19.95, ISBN 978–1–59726–994–0). It also led to his website, marketingforscientists.com. And it led to his Facebook group, which hosts lively chatter from scientists and science writers alike — see Marketing for Scientists under "groups" on FB, a club that as of today holds 908 members. It's a closed group that requires an invitation to join, so contact the administrator if you're interested.
Whether you're a scientist looking to make the most of your career, a science enthusiast concerned about the way society is trending, an amateur astronomer interested in the background of how astronomy works, or simply a curious person, I highly recommend Marketing for Scientists. It's written in a lively, engaging style and covers much practical advice as well as savvy observations.
Chapters cover such tips as how to get the job you want, securing funding, writing proposals, and attending conferences. Highly interesting observations are tucked away in the chapters on the general public and the government, how to market science itself, and the consumers of science.
Whatever your relationship to science, this is a book that will make you see it a little differently and will open your eyes to how science works.

Yes on one of the East Kilbride birth records I also noticed that Peter Livingston married to Helen Young was oddly enough referred to as Patrick Livingston and I believe it is the same person. Certainly the age range and birth year of the children and the timing of the marriage would support that oppinion. I would guess that this Peter or Patrick Livingston was born sometime between 1770 and 1780 either in Lanarkshire or an highland Argyllshire migrant worker who came to work in the mills of Lanarkshire in the 1790's. I am reasonably certain that at that time late 1700's beginning of the 1800's there was just Peter/Patrick Livingston in Kirkton Village, East Kilbride so it makes things a little easier to deduce.
I had a little bit of luck. Found Peter Livingston's father's death record also verifying the name of the deceased Peter Livingston's father and mother. So to my amazement we have established through checking the records that you have at least four Peter Livingstons in your Livingston family line. Thats really interesting. Dont see that too often though we have had a couple of people who had four or five generations of Donald Livingstons in their family contact the forum.
Here is a photogallery for Castle Kilbride...not sure that you found it.
Although I cant trace your Livingston family line any further than Peter Livingston Kirkton, East Kilbride weaver and his Helen Young at the beginning of the nineteenth century and dont know precisely where he was born, it is my sense that he may be related to curious number of Peter Livingstons and their Livingston kin that resided in the City of Glasgow, Lanarkshire in the 1700's. These were the closest Peter Livingstons lving near East Kilbride in the 1700's and the apparent fixation with the name Peter Livingston among these 18th century Glasgow city Livingstons seem to mirror that of your later Livingstons in East Kilbride. Peter Livingston perhaps was the name of an important ancestor that the Livingstons in the Glasgow and East Kilbride area shared, but that is just speculation on my part. There was a Peter Livingston residing in the Glasgow City as far back as the early 1700's so who knows there could be a connection to your family in East Kilbride, but no one really knows? Where your Livingston resided before 1798 is really anyones guess but there is no evidence that they are of highland Argyllshire Livingston origin so far. Lanarkshire is as far as the documented evidence trail leads us. The information tells us that your ancestor Peter Livington's father and grandfather were both Peter Livingstons as well and both had been Hand Loom Weavers residing in Kirkton, East Kilbride, Lanarkshire, Scotland in the first part of the 1800's. East Kilbride is about 12 miles south of Glasgow.
Also in Mornington Township at the time of the 1881 Census. So he must left Perth County for Baden, Wilmott township, Waterloo County sometime between 1891 and 1901 when the census that year records him as a resident of Wilmott Township.
There aren't a lot of heirs of this family. We seem to be the largest family related to the Livingstons. My Uncle Harry put an "e" on his name saying that is was lost along the way, was he wrong. I did find out more on James Livingston's side long ago using Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Livi ... politician). I will forward the information of the 135th anniversary to my cousin that might want to attend. I would love to go but I'm getting a new grandchild in July and the baby comes before genealogy. Still I would love to see the castle that I have read so much about. There are lots of pictures online of it and I did see a documentary on the castle.
So much of the information I had was wrong and I wish my father was still here to share this new information. My other ancestors are not as easy to trace as the Livingston side so I'm thrilled with what information I have received from you. Now I just have to get all this information written down so that the rest of the family has it.
I would love to find a picture of my grandmother Hazel kendry but these are lost in the dysfunctional family of the Livingstons.
I should look up Rebecca but I think I have already found a family connection just have to confirm it.
Did any of family, Aunts, UNcles keep a photo of Peter Livingston 1830-1909 of Baden, Waterloo Ontario and his wife Janet Riddel? Looks like after James Livington's grandaughter of her family sold the castle property to developers all the original furniture and contents went up for auction. Often old family photos get dumped in the trash if no one express an interest in them. Likely James and family had photos of Peter Livingston and Janet I should think. I am betting there were lots of family photos of the old Baden Livingstons at one time or another, but in more recent times they may have disappeared. Maybe the curator of the Castle might know of any surviving family photos that might include your ancestor Peter Livingston and his wife.
You have been so helpful and there should be pictures in the museum in Baden. I could probably get lots even in Listowel of John. People always seem to take pictures of wealthy families. Wonder why Peter Livingston Sr. never built himself a mansion, he had the money. They did buy back and get donations of the old furniture to refurnish the Castle when turning it into an historical site.
I know all about family pictures getting dumped almost. My husband's grandfather was a photographer, one of the first in BC Canada. There are a lot of pictures of the family from the early 1900's. A lot of his glass plates sat in a suitcase under one of the children's beds for years they were donated to Presentation House. They developed a few of the photos and they have now toured the world. Surprising that most of the people in the pictures were identified by relatives. Still a few are nobodies but at least the majority have names now. Got to wonder how many of these glass negatives where not so lucky and when people moved they just threw them out. Too bad the family home was turned into a restaurant before the family decided to see if it could be made an historical home. They reviewed the house but said there had been too many changes done to it.
When I worked for a recycling centre in a small town there were often old pictures in the stuff that came thru. We just sorted them but one of the workers asked us to save them all for her. She loved the old pictures and collected lots of them. I hope when she gets tired of them she just doesn't throw them out. Thinking back now these pictures should've been kept and sent to the museum for future use.
Preserving and discovering old family photos I think is an important part of one's family history research. A precious photo of your ancestors definitely enhances the story and its great to get a sense of what they looked like. Sadly more often than not these old family photos without any identification on the back as to who they are, or not taken care of over the decades or forgotten and eventually end up in the garbage. Talking about glass negatives, got me thinking of the famous Civil War photographer Mathew Brady's glass plate negatives,some of which ended up years later being used in a greenhouse if you can imagine. I think someone eventually recognised what they were and managed to rescue them. Fortunately many of Brady's negatives did survive and his sometimes horrific battlefield photos of the War between the North and the South in the 1860's captured the reality of war as it probably had never been before. There may have been photos done during the Crimean War of the 1850's. Not sure what the earliest war photos were, but Brady's civil war photos were among the earliest I suspect in terms of photo journalism.

Konrad Smoleński & Noa Shadur, One Mind In A Million Of Heads (still), 2014. HD film.
This year West is presenting the Volkspaleis (People's Palace) in the Zuiderstrandtheater in Scheveningen, Den Haag. In both scale and its unique location, this brand new theatre by the sea highlights the human experience in relation to its surroundings. This is seen again in the new monumental installation One Mind In A Million Heads from Konrad Smoleński made in collaboration with choreographer Noa Shadur. Visual artist Smoleński achieved international recognition through his work at the Polish pavilion of the Venice Biennale of 2013.
For his new work presented in The Hague, his largest audio architectural work to date, he once again addresses sound as sculpture: considering how sound gives form to a space and how variations in sound can influence and steer the public. Noise and sound are clearly present in the work. The installation is open throughout the events, at times receiving additional impulses from the performances of international sound artists. Curator Michal Libera has invited a selection of artists for the event, including Cut Hands, Brutaż, Wolf Eyes, Kyle Devine, Eli Keszler, Nic Collins, BMB con, Anne Wellmer, Matteo Marangoni, Diktat, Anton Lukoszevieze, Spat'Sonore, Aleks Kolkowski, Tres and Tony di Napoli. In all facets the program aims to show the extreme range of an audio speaker. In a period of five weekends, noise, electronically amplified to an overwhelming volume, will change via an acoustic, soft volume to almost complete silence.
Adding to the program, extra performances will take place in collaboration with various cultural partners. This program is composed of various disciplines and aims to avoid the classical format and approach, instead emphasizing a crossover of disciplines. Each of the evening and matinee performance include elements such as dance, film and music presentations, literature, discussions and debates on various subjects including sound art, literature, science and (art) philosophy. The cultural partners include Vrijhaven, Studio Loos, Royal Conservatorium, Rewire, Marcel van Eeden, Kees't Hart and many others.
Concepts of sound and entropy (the power of chaos) stand central in this year's Volkspaleis. These intangible and invisible ideas are presented in events where performance and music are the primary focus. By doing so, we want the Zuiderstrand Theater to reflect on the future of art. The Volkspaleis is located behind the dunes where the sound of the wind forms a natural backdrop. We invite you to come and listen.
Konrad Smoleński (b. 1977) lives and works in Warsaw, and Bern, Switzerland and works as a visual artist with performance; photography, installations, videos and performances with sound and sculpture. Often in collaboration with other artists and musicians. In 2013 he represented Poland at the Venice Biennale with the monumental installation Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More, a sculptural instrument that reproduces, at regular intervals, a music piece written for bronze bells, wide range loudspeakers, and other resonating objects. By using a delay effect, he offers an insight into a world where history has come to a standstill, thereby approaching the radical propositions of contemporary physics with its perception of the passage of time as an illusion. Smoleński has shown internationally including recently at the Polish Pavilion, 55th Biennale di Venezia, Italy; Zachęta – National Gallery of Art, Warschau; Manifesta 9, Genk; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; Museum MARTa Herford; Leto Gallery, Warsaw; The Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; CentrePasquArt, Biel, Zwitserland; and Performa 13, New York.
Two new publications with texts by Michal Libera and Roos van der Lint will accompany the manifestation.

Laurie Penny on Climate Camp: The revolution will be civilised
Does Climate Camp show us the future of youth activism?
By Laurie Penny
Follow @@pennyred
It's very easy to make fun of hippies. It's so easy, in fact, that the press has largely elided the serious political project that has driven roughly 700 activists to gather outside the Royal Bank of Scotland's Edinburgh headquarters for Climate Camp. Unfortunately, hippies rarely make their critics' jobs harder. Early on a dazzling morning at the makeshift campsite, I am roused from my tent by what sounds like Pink Floyd's apocalyptic children's choir, grown up and grown tone-deaf.
The Climate Campers, most of whom seem to be puppy-eyed graduates in their mid-twenties, are rehearsing a version of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" with the words agonisingly rewritten to detail RBS's role in financing the fossil-fuel industry. There are even hand actions.
From the outside, this week-long occupation looks suspiciously like a bunch of students harmlessly pratting about in a field -- but through the trees, we can see police in riot vans assembling. What are they afraid of?
Floppy fringe
In the daily consciousness-raising workshops, it becomes clear that the ideology of Climate Camp is impressively nuanced and uncompromising.
"You can't just stand around and shout: 'The system is fucked,'" says Sam, a shy 20-year-old who peers at the world from underneath a floppy fringe. "That's not politics, that's the absence of politics. We need to keep re-examining the interactions of money and power that brought us to this situation."
Climate Camp is ostensibly as much about anti-capitalism as environmentalism; RBS, which has bankrolled fossil-fuel extraction and is now under public ownership, is being targeted to raise awareness of the links between the two. However, some of the younger campers, having come of age during the worst recession in living memory, feel that the narrative around climate change needs to be more revolutionary.
"Most governments and big businesses have now accepted that we need to tackle climate change," explains Sam, as we share a filthy roll-up and a surprisingly delicious plate of vegan mess. "For them, though, that's just about protecting private property. We have to get the message across that climate change is caused by capitalism -- and you can't fix one without fixing the other." Some of the protest stunts border on silly -- marching a papier-mâché pig full of oil through central Edinburgh, for instance -- but the daily life of Climate Camp is just as important as the direct action.
With gruesomely wholesome reclaimed toilets and chores distributed between all comers, this is more than a campsite -- it's a model community built on sustainability and a lack of hierarchy, and the campers are extremely serious about the praxis of the place. "I'm not just here to protest," says Annabel, a special-needs teacher working on site security. "I'm here to up-skill in tools I can use for life in a world without oil and hegemony."
These are kids who have grown up with structured after-school clubs, summer camps and activity goals -- and they are now applying that ethos of managed attainment to their own microcosmic utopia. They may have dreadlocks and may be wearing flowers in their hair but these are not the shambling activists of the 1960s. Everyone is sober and in bed by midnight, and there's no room for mucking about -- we've got to be up in time to save the world.
Future activism
The next day, after mobilising their legal observers and arriving at a democratic action consensus via an arcane process of wiggly hand signals, the campers don biohazard suits and march to RBS headquarters for the first stunt of the day. Expressions of grim commitment belie the cheery carnival atmosphere. Like a genteel, fusty Anglican congregation, the Climate Campers would probably prefer a cup of tea and an awkward sing-song to fire and brimstone any day of the week -- but should the necessity arise, they are quite prepared to lay everything on the line for what they believe.
These serious young people did not grow up in the carefree 1960s: they know what a criminal record could do to their job prospects in today's treacherous economic climate. Nonetheless, they storm the bridge, pushing the police out of the way. At the time of writing, at least 12 people have been arrested -- and, according to legal observers, two have been hospitalised following alleged police brutality.
This is the future of youth activism in Britain: decked out in silly costumes and socialist ideals, intelligent, iconoclastic and willing to take on the system no matter the cost. As the Climate Campers approach, police are mustering outside the glittering glass of the RBS headquarters. Perhaps they are right to be nervous.

Master Talk: Migrant Journal
Eintrag erstellt am November 10, 2020
Migrant Journal (Isabel Seiffert & Michaela Büsse)
Migration involves far more than just individuals. Dictated by shifting markets and natural forces, the movement of goods has shaped from international to local spaces as well as landscapes. The traffic of goods has increased dramatically during the Industrial Revolution to develop into the present day's extremely complex global commercial patterns. From the influence of African slave trade routes on the centenary traditional Portuguese carolino rice, to the impact of Japanese crops on the Bolivian countryside: there are more intricate facets of migration whose pertinence equals to human fluxes. Besides goods and people, 'impalpable' flows of data, ideas and information now constitute a new spatial challenge to understand. MIGRANT aims at exploring the relationship between these elements, events, journeys and spaces bound under the idea of 'migration' in all its forms, determinant to understand today's society: the Kwai Tsing Container Terminals in Hong Kong, the rise of xenophobic political forces in Europe, the San Diego-Tijuana border, ships full of Sudanese and Eritrean capsizing in the Mediterranean sea, an antenna at the top of a church tower in London pointing to a satellite dish at the top of a grain silo in Dunkirk. Migration is creating new spaces that MIGRANT wants to explore.
Migrant Journal is a six-issue independent publication exploring the circulation of people, goods, information, fauna and flora around the world and the transformative impact they have on space. The magazine's visual concept ensures a unique voice: bold colours and a custom-made typeface that guide the reader through the narrative layers of the publication; intricate maps and vivid infographics which invite to explore topics in a greater, atlas-like depth; and eclectic sequences of images accentuating the publication's rhythm.
MIGRANT has received five commendations for Best Magazine (2017 & 2018), Best Editor (2018), Best Art Director (2018) and Best Launch (2017) at the Stack Awards. It has been shortlisted for Swiss Design Awards 2020 and the Design Museum's Beazley Design of the Year 2018 and received a Graphite Pencil at the 2019 D&AD Award. MIGRANT was also awarded the first Willy Fleckhaus Preis by the Art Directors Club Germany.
The Master-Talk took place online on 7 December 2020.

Whether you're searching for a serene lakeside escape, adventure on the water, or both, New York State has a lake for you. Upstate New York is home to over 100 lakes across its regions, ranging from remote retreats ensconced in mountainous forests to charming, walkable lakeside villages. We've compiled a list of 12 of the most beautiful lakes across the state for a glimmering getaway in New York State.
Remember to social distance and wear a mask as required by state guidelines. Call ahead and check websites and social media to make sure attractions are open and available.
North-South Lake (Catskills)
Surround yourself with scenic vistas from every angle at North-South Lake State Campground, the largest and most popular lakeside campground in New York State (and for good reason). Found in the northeast corner of Catskill Park, the North-South Lake campground has over 200 camping sites, and is just a short hike away from the former site of Catskill Mountain House, which offers picturesque panoramic views of the Catskills Mountains and Hudson River. Kayak, rowboat, canoe, or paddleboard your way across the vast lake, or hike one of its numerous trails. Just minutes to the east of the campground is the town of Tannersville, a quaint village with a charming main street lined with shops and farm-to-table restaurants, including Mama's Boy Burgers, a truly quality fast food joint, serving up locally-sourced comfort foods and homemade ice cream. Looking to add a little extra thrill to your vacation? Soar above the trees at nearby Hunter Mountain with New York Zipline Adventure Tours–the highest, fastest, and longest zipline tour in North America.
Black Lake (Thousand Islands-Seaway)

Fishing enthusiasts from across the world have dubbed Black Lake one of the best freshwater fishing lakes for year-round fishing in New York State. This quiet inlet, just minutes from the St Lawrence River's edge is where perch, crappie, bass, and bluegill are known to thrive. This hidden gem isn't just a paradise for anglers though. For the non-fishing vacationers, there are numerous activities and attractions nearby to enjoy on your lakeside retreat. Take a ferry to century-old Singer Castle on Dark Island, and learn about the history of (or spend the night in!) the gothic-inspired castle. Head to the Antique Boat Museum in Clayton to see the largest collection of antique boats in the world–you can even go for a ride on a vintage skiff!
Lake George (Adirondacks)

Situated deep within the heart of the vast and mountainous Adirondacks lies Lake George, a.k.a the Queen of American Lakes. A venerable vacation destination year-round, from its concerts, camping, and watersports in the summer through to its ice castles and carnivals in the winter. The 44-square-mile lake is home to 13 charming lakeside communities that make up the entire Lake George Area, each with its own distinct style. From Memorial Day through September 5, take a scenic cruise and soak in the views on The Minne-Ha-Ha, a rare and authentic paddlewheel steamship. Hire a canoe or sailboat and get a closer look at mansions along Millionaire's Row. Indulge yourself with a lakeside stay at The Sagamore Resort (pictured), a secluded premier luxury resort with breathtaking unobstructed views across Lake George and the Adirondack mountains. Indulge your taste buds at award-winning restaurants, relax at the spa, or tee up at the world-renowned Donald Ross 18-hole golf course. Take your summertime thrills to new heights with a day at Six Flags Great Escape & Hurricane Harbor in nearby Queensbury, full of dizzying loops and water rides to keep you cool.
Mirror Lake (Adirondacks)
Nestled between the high peaks of the Adirondack Mountains, Mirror Lake serves as the village of Lake Placid's unofficial town square. Dotted with luxurious lakeside resorts, including the eponymous Mirror Lake Inn Resort and Spa, Mirror Lake is a year-round destination. During the summer season, the lake is full of canoes, kayaks, and stand-up paddleboarders. In the winter months, you can go mush on a memorable dog sled ride. As a two-time Winter Olympics host city, the Lake Placid of today is teeming with both Olympic history and world-class sporting events, including the upcoming 2023 Lake Placid World University Games. The Lake Placid Olympic Museum brings to life memories from the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Games, chief among them the American hockey team's "Miracle on Ice" victory over the Soviet Union. A short drive away, the high-speed Cloudsplitter gondola offers stunning views as it ascends Whiteface Mountain. If you're particularly adventurous, you can try to join the ranks of "The 46ers," a term used for mountain climbers who have mastered all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks! In addition to its Olympic history, the area also has a proud heritage as a home to abolitionists and equal rights leaders. The John Brown Farm State Historic Site offers an inside look at this important aspect of New York's history.
Tupper Lake (Adirondacks)
For scenic hiking trails, immaculate waters, and charming gourmet eateries, look no further than Tupper Lake, the perfect destination for travelers looking to get lost and feel at one with nature. Wander through wildlife exhibits as you literally walk across the treetops at the Wild Center and Wild Walk. With more than 1,000 feet of bridges that rise up and over the Adirondack forest, this world-renowned interactive center is a must-see for outdoor lovers. Climb further into the skies and gaze at stars at the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory, an institution providing one of the best destinations for stargazing in the East due to its high altitude. For those looking to head out on the water, head to Ausable Chasm and raft or tube through the waters surrounded by towering sandstone formations that age back 500 million years.
Otsego Lake (Central New York)

Known as the "Glimmerglass" lake from James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, Otsego Lake's location in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, bordering the village of Cooperstown makes it one of New York's most interesting lakeside destinations. Known as "America's most perfect village," Cooperstown was named the #2 "small town to visit in America" by Expedia. It's also where the sport of baseball was created, and you can see this proud heritage on display everywhere from the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum to charming Main Street shops selling memorabilia. The Farmers' Museum offers a peek at a bygone era and the Fenimore Art Museum is home to an impressive collection of American art. While in town, a drink overlooking the lake on the porch of The Otesaga Resort Hotel (pictured)–one of New York's historic Grand Dame hotels since 1909– is a must. Just outside of Cooperstown, nature lovers will find plenty to enjoy year-round in Glimmerglass State Park. Every summer, the Glimmerglass Festival brings world-class opera and concerts to the north shore of Otsego Lake at the state-of-the-art Alice Busch Opera Theater. Beer and spirits enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that Central New York is home to some of the best craft beverage trails in the country.
Cayuga Lake (Finger Lakes)
The longest of New York's glacial Finger Lakes, Cayuga Lake boasts a world-class wine trail, plentiful sport fishing (you'll find 17 species of fish, including smelt, lake trout, and smallmouth bass), and lake towns with plenty to do. On the southern tip of the lake, you'll find Ithaca, a vibrant small city with a youthful vibe. A perfect foodie destination, Ithaca is home to the popular Ithaca Farmers Market and more restaurants per capita than New York City. You'll find many of the city's best eats right downtown in Ithaca Commons, a two-block pedestrian mall full of eateries, independently owned shops, and art galleries. Outdoor adventurers are drawn to Ithaca for its miles of gorgeous parks, hiking trails, and over 150 waterfalls within a 10-mile radius, including the popular Buttermilk Falls State Park and Taughannock Falls State Park (home to a waterfall that's even taller than Niagara Falls!). At the north end of Cayuga Lake, you'll find Seneca Falls, a tiny town with an outsized place in history. In 1848, the town hosted the Seneca Falls Convention, a seminal event in the fight for women's rights. Today, it is home to such sites as the National Women's Hall of Fame and the Elizabeth Cady Stanton House. Movie buffs can visit the It's A Wonderful Life Museum to learn more about how Seneca Falls became the real-life inspiration for the fictional town of "Bedford Falls."
Skaneateles Lake (Finger Lakes)

Rest, relax and revel in the sparkling blue-green waters of Skaneateles that earns itself the crown as "the jewel of the Finger Lakes." Pronounced "skinny atlas," the name literally means "long lake" in Iroquois, and is the fifth largest glacial lake in the region. The lake is a popular destination for canoeing, fishing, and fun water sports through the summer months, and close to the charming walkable downtown of its main village by the same name (pictured). Shop antiques, boutique stores and dine at farm-to-table restaurants. Head out on the water for incredible views of surrounding forests, mansions, and historic homes that line its shores, or take in views from the skies aboard a hot air balloon ride. After a full day, pamper yourself at Mirbeau Inn & Spa, a world-class luxury spa resort in a classical boutique-style inn.
Owasco Lake (Finger Lakes)
Indulge your senses in the calm crisp waters and peaceful surrounds of Owasco Lake, a quiet retreat nestled between farmlands, parks, and charming lakeside villages. With shallow warm waters, Owasco Lake is ideal for swimming, boating, and canoeing in the summertime, and fishing year-round. On its northern edge you'll find Auburn, a small city with a big history, once home to Harriet Tubman, the famed abolitionist and conductor of the Underground Railroad, and politician William H. Seward, who served as Secretary of State in the late 1800s. With 2022 marking the bicentennial of Harriet Tubman's birth, the Equal Rights Heritage Center will feature a collection of exhibits celebrating the region's pivotal role in the civil rights movement throughout the year. Visit the Harriet Tubman National Historical Park to see her former home and learn about her life and legacy. Travel south down the lake past quaint cottages and private boathouses and explore the Fillmore Glen State Park at its southern tip. An oasis within dense woods, the park offers numerous scenic hiking trails through its long and narrow gorge past five waterfalls.
Chautauqua Lake (Chautauqua-Allegheny)
Credit: @chq1874 on Instagram
Chautauqua Lake's 17 miles offer visitors plenty of recreational opportunities from sandy public swimming beaches to boating and fishing. Tour the lake with a cruise on the Chautauqua Belle, an authentic Mississippi River-style steamboat. To get the full Chautauqua Lake experience, plan to stop off at Bemus Point to explore this charming lakeside town, get nostalgic with classic amusement park rides at Midway State Park, and catch a show or lecture at the Chautauqua Institution. While at the Chautauqua Institution, enjoy a lakeside meal on the porch at the Heirloom Restaurant at the historic Athenaeum Hotel. While in the area, a visit to Jamestown for the National Comedy Center and Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Museum is a must. The Comedy Center, which opened in 2018, uses innovative technology to deliver a unique experience where the museum's content adapts to your personal taste in comedy. Other features include a comedy karaoke lounge that lets visitors take center stage, and a roast station where you can send some digs to your favorite frenemies.
Lake Erie (Multiple Regions)
One visit to Lake Erie and you'll see that it's not just the size of this body of water that makes it a "Great Lake." Located on the boundary between the United States and Canada, the Lake Erie shores are home to Buffalo, New York's second-largest city. Lakeside fun can be had at the city's Canalside Buffalo waterfront development (pictured), which hosts major concerts in the summer months and offers ice bikes in the winter. Explore Buffalo's vibrant independent theater scene, or catch a touring Broadway show at Shea's Performing Arts Center, an opulent venue modeled after European opera palaces. If you're feeling adventurous, go zip lining on the exhilarating Buffalo RiverWorks high ropes course. Take your trip to the next level with a visit to Niagara Falls, just a half-hour drive from Buffalo (fun fact: it's water from Lake Erie that feeds Niagara Falls via the Niagara River). To see another side of New York's Lake Erie coastline, enjoy a glass of wine lakeside in Lake Erie Wine Country, one of the best under-the-radar wine regions in the U.S. Continue down the lake to tour the Dunkirk Lighthouse, a historic active lighthouse with an onsite maritime museum.
Lake Ontario (Multiple Regions)
With its white-sand beaches and expansive views, it's easy enough to mistake Lake Ontario for an ocean. Just minutes away in Rochester's downtown, you can explore over a century's worth of toys at the Strong National Museum of Play, visit the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House to learn about the life and times of the women's rights icon, and explore a burgeoning craft beverage scene with a visit to the Genesee Brew House, Black Button Distilling, and Rohrbach Brewing Company. Head east to the Thousand Islands and stop by the H. Lee White Maritime Museum and Oswego Lighthouse to learn about the lake's importance in maritime history. Get closer to nature at Selkirk Shores State Park, where you can enjoy spectacular sunsets and some of the best fishing in the state. Find even more adventures to inspire your next trip in our 48 Hours Along Lake Ontario blog post.

Rather than plotting sea surface temperatures, sea surface temperature anomalies have been plotted here to show the dramatic departures from normal that are associated with El Nino and La Nina from 1980 - 1999. El Nino is the warming of the Pacific Ocean off of the western coast of South America near Ecuador and Peru. It is called El Nino, or little boy in Spanish, referring to the Christ child because the phenomena usually occurs near Christmas time. The opposite of El Nino is La Nina, or little girl in Spanish, which is a cooling of the Pacific Ocean. The red shading signifies a warming of the ocean by 5-10°F, the green shading is normal and the blue shading is a cooling of the ocean by 5-10°F.
In strong El Nino years, a prominent red band indicating warmer water extends out into the Pacific Ocean. Observed El Nino years include 1982-1983, 1986-1987, 1991-1992, 1993, 1994, and 1997-1998. The series of El Nino's in the early 1990's was unusual because they were spaced so close together, though they were all relatively weak. The most notable El Nino years include 1982-1983, 1986-1987 and 1997-1998. In fact, the 1997-1998 El Nino was so strong that it started to gain national attention. The effects of a strong El Nino include a wetter than normal season in most of the United States, though the Pacific Northwest states tend to be drier. An El Nino affects the weather worldwide. Indonesia and the Philippines, for example, are drier than normal during El Nino and have increased risk of forest fires while East Africa experiences much wetter conditions from March through May. La Nina has the opposite effect as El Nino, causing the United States to be drier than normal. Samples of a strong El Nino and La Nina occurrence are available as additional datasets. In these datasets, the land is true color shaded and a mask has been applied to highlight only the region off of South America.

West to Mars: NASA's InSight Mars Lander to Make Historic West Coast Launch
By Robert Z. Pearlman 2018-05-03T16:28:22Z Spaceflight
NASA's InSight Mars lander, seen inside its spacecraft's backshell on April 6, 2018 as it was being prepared for launch at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
(Image: © collectSPACE.com)
VANDENBERG AFB — In its 60 year history, NASA has launched more than 50 spacecraft to study the solar system beyond Earth and its moon. Despite the long record, the agency's next mission will do something no other U.S. interplanetary probe has done before.
Go west.
Assuming all goes as planned, NASA's InSight lander will be the first mission to study the deep interior of Mars. But eight months before it touches down and begins probing the Red Planet, it will make history becoming NASA's first interplanetary mission to launch from the west coast of the United States.
InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) is scheduled to lift off from Space Launch Complex-3 at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in southern California on Saturday (May 5) at 4:05 a.m. PDT (7:05 a.m. EDT; 1105 GMT). Riding on a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket, InSight will begin its journey toward a November 26 landing on Mars by initially entering a polar orbit around Earth. [Where to Watch InSight's Mars Launch from the California's Coast]
East v. West
Since its first attempt in 1962, NASA has launched all of its missions bound for the planets, asteroids and comets from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
The use of the east coast launch site was a necessity (at least in most cases) to take advantage of the direction that Earth rotates. By heading eastward, especially from a site near the planet's equator, the spacecraft gain velocity from Earth's gravity — enough of an "free" extra boost to make it possible for their rockets and propulsion systems to push them out into the solar system.
In that sense, InSight is no different.
"Earth is going 30 km/s [19 mps]. An Atlas can add a few km/s to that, in a direction we choose. We have to choose carefully or we won't get to Mars," wrote Mark Wallace on Twitter. Wallace designed InSight's trajectory as a mission analyst at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
InSight will launch south-southeast from Vandenberg. That trajectory can lead to Mars as a result of two factors: mass and orbital mechanics.
As interplanetary probes go, InSight is both small and light. The current mission uses the same spacecraft and lander design as the 2008 Phoenix Mars mission, which launched on the less powerful Delta II rocket.

ULA is in the process of retiring the Delta II, so it put forth and NASA selected the next best option, the Atlas V (401) — which for InSight meant power to spare.
"Launching the InSight mass to the ... Mars targets for its landing site had enough excess performance margin on the Atlas V that both coasts could be utilized," wrote Caley Burke, a trajectory analyst with NASA's Launch Services Program, on Twitter.
The more than capable Atlas rocket will launch InSight into a polar orbit, such that when its Centaur upper stage fires its engine to send InSight toward Mars, the spacecraft will be aimed in the right direction.
Westward Ho!
NASA could have chosen to launch InSight from the Cape, but went with Vandenberg because it had more availability during the mission's launch period. [NASA's Mars InSight Lander: 10 Surprising Facts]
"InSight is a light vehicle and the Atlas has performance to spare, so the decision was made to go out of [Vandenberg] to relieve congestion [in Florida]," explained Wallace.
Though this is the first time that NASA has proceeded with an interplanetary launch from California, the space agency has considered the option before.
NASA originally intended to launch its 2001 Mars Odyssey orbiter from Vandenberg, but ultimately moved it to Cape Canaveral because of the loss of two other missions to the Red Planet, Mars Climate Orbiter and Mars Polar Lander, in 1999. The agency said that the move came as part of an effort to reduce risks to the Odyssey mission.

Specifically, NASA cited schedule flexibility and spacecraft battery margins as the reasons for the switch.

Counselor Ethics boundaries and Practices Paper
Counselor Ethical Boundaries and Practices Assignment GuidelinesDirections: Follow the directions below to write a paper of 1,500-1,750 words on counselor ethical boundaries and practices.For this paper, write from the perspective that you are a professional counselor in the field. Provide a thoughtful response to each of the following three sections, including specific, concrete examples to illustrate your ideas. Use the section headings provided below to separate each section of your paper.Your final deliverable should be one cohesive paper addressing all three sections along with an introduction and conclusion.Section 1: Boundary Issues and Dual RelationshipsPart A – Decision-Making Model and Counseling ExamplesHow would you determine if a boundary-crossing or dual relationship is ethical and appropriate? What criteria would you consider when making your decision?Present examples of how you would apply this criteria to at least four counseling situations in which you believe the dual relationship issues are complex and ambiguous. One of your examples should address the issues of physical attraction between clients and counselors.Part B-Ethical Issues and DimensionsIn addition, examine these issues in terms of former clients. Address the following:· Do the ethical issues (and your opinion about appropriateness) change, depending on how long after the termination of therapy a dual relationship is initiated?· What are the key ethical dimensions that might change, after the termination of therapy?· Present an example of a situation that you believe would constitute a boundary violation with a current client but might be acceptable with a former client.Section 2: Professional Collaboration in CounselingPart A – Working with a Multidisciplinary TeamExplain why counselors frequently collaborate with other stakeholders regarding a client's care in order to maintain professional and ethical boundaries and practices.For example, professional counselors frequently work with clients with addiction issues. Addiction counselors may work with clients who also have a co-occurring disorder. The specific roles of each of these counselors are well defined; straying into an area outside your scope of practice is unethical.How would you work independently as a counselor within your scope of practice as well as collaboratively with other mental health professionals to ensure quality client care? What is the role of a counselor in a multidisciplinary team?Part B –Relationships with Supervisors and ColleaguesDescribe the ethical issues involved in the supervisor-counselor relationship. How is this relationship similar to the counselor-client relationship? How is it different?Outline a series of criteria and describe how you would integrate the criteria into an ethical decision-making model to respond to issues of incompetence and/or unethical conduct by fellow counselors.Section 3: Development of Your Thinking about EthicsClearly describe what you consider to be the most important developments in your thinking about ethical practice that have occurred during this course. This may include areas in which you have clarified your views and beliefs, modified your thinking on a given issue, gained new insights, or acquired a new perspective. It may include issues whose complexity you now appreciate more fully or difficult issues that you now understand you must grapple with, as a counselor. What have you most learned about yourself and/or about what constitutes becoming an ethical practitioner and how has your thinking about ethics and legal issues changed? Be sure that you include specific examples to illustrate general statements.ReferencesAmerican Counseling Association. (2014). 2014 ACA code of ethics.

Bowls are the new plates, featuring flavorsome combinations of nutritious grains, proteins, vegetables, a sauce, and something crunchy. It's a casual, comforting, satisfying way to eat lunch or dinner, and a delicious way to serve up healthy superfoods and probiotics. What makes Bowls! different is that it offers a comprehensive strategy for tackling this fun new way to eat, including 26 full recipes perfect for bowls plus 90 recipes for mix-and-match components. And it leads with visual inspiration in the form of a photographic matrix of ideas, making this handy volume an ideal go-to for weeknight cooks and healthy eaters.
5.0 out of 5 stars"Bowled" Over By This Book -- REALLY!
One thing that really frustrates me about cookbooks is you can't often see the table of contents. I want want to see a list of the recipes, format, etc. I don't want to get a book, only to find out its full of things I can't pronounce. Kimchi Haloumi Spiralized Zucchini may be appetizing to some people, but not to me. I bought this book based on one reviewer who said that the author listed options for each component of a bowl separately so you could mix and match.
The first several chapters offer you recipes for making different ingredients in a food group: 1) Grains - barley, brown rice, buckwheat, bulgur, fargo freekeh, polenta, quinoa, rye, soba noodles, steel-cut oats, white rice, wild rice; 2) Beans and Lentils - lentils, basic dried beans, pot linker beans, drunken black beans; 3) Proteins - recipes for Tofo, different t yes of eggs, different fish, chicken and meat; 4) Vegetables - roasted, grilled, steamed, root, mashed, sautéed...; 5) super sauces - aioli, avocado vinagraitte, basil pesto, chimichurri etc... and, finally 6) Creamy, crunchy, crispy toppings - croutons, bread crumbs, petal bits, baked tortilla strips, carmelized nuts and onions, kimchi, wild rice, garlic, quinoa. The second half of the book provides recipes that the author uses to put all the six basic bowl components together at different meals. Don't like cauliflower? You can go to her vegetable section and substitute something else for that and still make her recipe. This is GENIUS. I wish every cookbook were written like this... I would buy them all! Such a great, customizable cookbook that should work for anyone who wants to start eating balanced bowls. I hope the author does another cookbook in this format.

5.0 out of 5 starsFantastic! Bold flavors, beautiful presentation, healthy, and easy!
I love this book. The author is a nice strong flavorist. She has a great sense of aesthetics. These are filling and leave you feeling great. To my delight, each bowl is its own little entity, and there's a wonderful spectrum of tastes going on.
1) Kalefornia Bowl – p 112. Serano chile vinaigrette, cabbage kale slaw, sautéed white beans in garlic and rosemary, roasted chicken, avocado, and peanuts. This is a fantastic salad! The author instructs you to massage the vinaigrette into the kale and cabbage, totally preventing salad jaw fatigue. I included the chicken skin because yum. My kids *loved* this one.
2) Sizzling Beef Bowl – p 133. Sizzling beef, sesame brown rice, charred vegetables, watercress, and pepper lime sauce. Awesome! This tastes and smells like you're in a killer Hibachi restaurant!
3) Cardamom Lamb Bowl – p 149. Shredded cardamom lamb shanks, roasted eggplant salad, browned garlic bulgar, yogurt, and pomegranate arils. I love this bowl. We spent a few days in Morocco on our honeymoon, and this was wonderfully reminiscent of those flavors.
4) Veggie Burrito Bowl - p 89. Cilantro pinto beans, taqueria-style rice, salsa fresca, avocado, lettuce, sour cream, and jack. Yummy!
5) Sweet and Crunchy Salmon - p104. Swiss chard barley pilaf, maple glazed salmon, and fennel green apple salad. Fantastic bowl!
6) Budapest Bowl - p 121. Paprika braised chicken, mushroom barley pilaf, sweet pepper slaw, and dilled white beans. Oh my gosh! This one is so fragrant. Divine. Just divine.
7) Zoodle Taco Salad. Zucchini noodles, roasted chile guacamole, chile citrus sauce, and spiced ground turkey. The kids loved this and asked me to make it twice within a week.
Some others I have flagged to try are: The Minty Goddess (mint lemon quinoa, falafel-esque chickpeas, cucumber tomato salad, and tahini harissa dressing), Black Pepper Tofu Bowl (gingered coconut brown rice, carrot daikon slaw, lemongrass roasted broccoli, frizzled shallots, and black pepper tofu), Spanish Shrimp (red lentil quinoa pilaf, escarole salad, and smoked paprika shrimp), Zoodle Taco Salad (zucchini noodles, roasted chile guacamole, chile citrus sauce, and spiced ground turkey), Tea Salad Style Bowl with Chicken (mirin braised chicken thighs, seared brussels sprout leaf salad, sesame seeds, peanuts, garlic, and scallions), and Minnesota Hotdish Bowl (wild rice black lentil pilaf, sausage, creamy mushroom sauce, and garlicky chard).

Kendall Jenner was the highest paid model of 2017 with an estimated income of $22 million, according to Forbes' annual list. The ranking takes into account not just fashion contracts, but also social media, clothing, fragrance and cosmetics partnerships, of which Jenner has plenty.
In 2017, the 22-year-old signed a contract with Adidas, starred in numerous campaigns for brands like Fendi and La Perla, co-designed a jewelry collection for Ippolita and expanded the Kendall + Kylie brand that she runs with her little sister, Kylie. She also gets a cut from appearing on her fam's famous reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

Jenner took the top spot from Gisele Bundchen, who had previously held the No. 1 title every year since 2002. The 37-year-old Brazilian beauty landed at No. 2 on this year's list with a $17.5 million income; that number is down 43 percent from 2016's $30.5 million. However, it's still impressive considering Bundchen retired from runway modeling in 2015 and has been using her platform to continue her work as an environmental activist.
Thank you Mr. President @EmmanuelMacron for leading the Global Pact for the Environment. We must stop living with the idea of "out of sight, out of mind" – if we don't see it, it won't affect us. But it will, because everything in this world is connected. The trash, for example, that magically disappears from our houses every day is going somewhere. It's going to landfills, rivers, and oceans contaminating fish, water sources and coming right back to our table. We need to wake up – We must rethink the way we live, the way we produce, the way we consume and change our habits before it is too late. Obrigada presidente @EmmanuelMacron por liderar o Pacto Global para o meio ambiente. Devemos parar de viver com a ideia de que "o que não é visto, não é lembrado" – se não estamos vendo, não nos afetará. Porque irá afetar, já que tudo neste mundo está conectado. O lixo, por exemplo, que desaparece magicamente de nossas casas todos os dias, vai parar em algum lugar: em aterros sanitários, em rios e oceanos, contaminando peixes, e em fontes de água, voltando direto para nossa mesa. Precisamos acordar – Repensar a forma como vivemos, a maneira como produzimos, como consumimos e mudar nossos hábitos antes que seja tarde demais.
A post shared by Gisele Bündchen (@gisele) on Sep 19, 2017 at 3:28pm PDT
Making her debut on the list is Chrissy Teigen at No. 3, with $13.5 million. Like Jenner, Teigen earns a good deal of dough through social media sponsorships with brands including Smirnoff and Vita Coco. The 31-year-old, who just revealed she's expecting her second child with John Legend, is also the author of a cookbook, and recently collaborated with Becca on a cosmetics collection and Revolve on a clothing line.

Gigi and Bella Hadid (No. 5 and No. 9, respectively), Karlie Kloss (No. 7), Adriana Lima (No. 4) and Ashley Graham (No. 10) also made the cut, as did Chinese model Liu Wen (No. 8), who has broken barriers as the first Asian spokesperson for Estee Lauder, as well as the first Asian model on the cover of American Vogue.

Cynthia E. Coburn is Associate Professor in Policy, Organization, Measurement, and Evaluation at University of California at Berkeley. Mary Kay Stein is Associate Director of the Learning Research & Development Center and Founding Director of the Learning Policy Center at University of Pittsburgh. She also holds a joint appointment at the University of Pittsburgh as professor of Learning Policy and Senior Scientist at the Learning Research and Development Center.
For all the rhetoric of linking research to practice, Coburn and Stein et al help us understand clearly how research and practice can come together to improve education in the United States. This book will set the agenda for future collaborations between researchers and practitioners committed to education reform and improvement.
This book is essential reading for all who work with schools to support improvement in the quality of instruction. The authors frame the question of how productive relations can be forged between research and practice as an empirical issue. Their findings are comprehensive and encompass the development of sustainable, long-term partnerships, the design of tools that bridge research and practice, and the development of school conditions that support teachers' learning. The image that emerges of successful researcher-practitioner partnerships is of complex, two-way relationships in which intermediary organizations frequently play a critical role. The work reported in this book has far-reaching implications for funders, for researchers and the type of work they conduct, and for intermediary organizations.
Whether you're thinking about implementing a new program, building a researcher-practitioner partnership, or having productive ideas travel to new sites, "What works?" turns out to be the wrong question. The right one is: What helps collaborative programs develop and take hold, and what causes problems? That's the question Coburn, Stein, and their colleagues explore. This book contains valuable lessons for researchers and administrators who want to make things better in our schools. You'll think differently about making change happen after reading it.
Coburn (Univ. of California, Berkeley) and Stein (Univ. of Pittsburgh), both education policy scholars, offer an insightful collection of empirical examples in which social and education theory has informed educational policy. This book's strength is its critical account of contexts where theory succeeded or failed to make long-lasting educational change. Vignettes contribute to the four useful policy perspectives: innovation-focused partnerships, tools for enabling theory into practice, conditions for knowledge development, and approaches for school districts to use research in decision making. The focus is a practical one....A useful entry point for theory-focused researchers wishing to join policy conversations. The strongest section deals with approaches to introducing theory into school district decision making. Yet, readers will find value throughout, as the book's central aim is to identify situations in which researchers' findings have resonated with educational decision makers so that theoretical perspective became part of policy making. The book could prove essential to those studying policy and curriculum theory in education, as well as public policy or administration researchers. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
Cynthia Coburn and Mary Kay Stein take aim at the idea that researchers can develop a set of plans or prescriptions that, if followed by practitioners, can transform teaching and learning....Although Coburn and Stein argue that the principal aim of their volume is to make visible the inner workings of research-practice partnerships, perhaps just as significant is the image these cases provide for what it means to bring about improvements to teaching and learning at scale.
I applaud Coburn and Stein and the contributions to this edited volume for systematically investigating an issue of utmost importance and relevance and recommend this book to innovators and designers (those whom Coburn and Stein identified as the new players in research -- practice perhaps), researchers interested in impacting educational outcomes, and university leaders hoping to move their institutions toward locally embedded research. The book may also be helpful to school superintendents and principals, those whom the authors identified as increasingly bridging research-theory relationships, and funders, as a source of ideas for evaluating grant proposals that extol research-practice partnerships.
·Addresses one of the most pressing concerns in educational policy today: the role of research in improving educational practice.
·Empirical studies of 10 nationally-known research and development projects.
·In-depth focus on how research and practiceactually interact to produce educational success. Moves beyond the policy rhetoric to investigate how things work in practice.
·Armed with lessons from these ten cases of successful research-practice interactions, researchers and practitioners can plan for future collaborative work with a more realistic roadmap of what to expect and how to prepare to successfully meet potential challenges. And, policy makers, funders, and universities can take steps to create conditions that are more conducive to productive research-practice exchange.
·Contributors to the book bring expertise in educational policy, instructional design, and teacher and student learning, bringing together disciplines that are all implicated in this topic, yet rarely brought together to address this problem.
That there is a divide between research and practice is a common lament across policy-oriented disciplines, and education is no exception. Rhetoric abounds about the role research plays (or does not play) in the improvement of schools and classrooms, and policy makers push solutions that are rooted in assumptions about the way that research should influence practice. Yet few people have studied the relationship between research and practice empirically. This book presents findings from a series of interlocking case studies of nationally visible R&D projects, with a unique focus on how researchers and practitioners actually worked together, and the policy, social, and institutional processes that either enabled or hindered their work. The book investigates the dynamics of cross-institutional collaboration and the relationship between tool design, teacher learning, and the implementation of research-based approaches. It also explores conditions for learning in schools and the role of evidence in district decision making. By investigating the roles played by research and practice in these ten educational improvement efforts, the book illuminates lessons for those who seek to do this kind of work in the future. It concludes by suggesting implications for designers, funders, school and district leaders, and universities.

You lived through their side of the story—now live through his! Return once more to the haunted grounds of Ravenhearst Manor to uncover new details about this poignant saga. What you find could very well be the final chapter of this riveting story... if you escape. This is an intense psychological thriller that may reveal deep-seated fears. Not for the young or faint of heart. Consider yourself warned.


MAJOR OUTCOMES IN MODERATELY HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIC, HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS RANDOMIZED TO PRAVASTATIN VS USUAL CARE. THE ANTIHYPERTENSIVE AND LIPID-LOWERING TREATMENT TO PREVENT HEART ATTACK TRIAL (ALLHAT-LLT). JAMA 2002;288:2998-3007.


Little did I know that all it would take to capture my interest in all things ( all edible things) squash, would be a single visit to a pumpkin patch. That fateful visit happened back in October in Wyoming, Minnesota. (Remember A road trip, a fresh pumpkin, and a pie?) Now, a month later, squash as become for me what a blank canvas is to an artist: a medium of almost infinite possibilities. Cakes, puddings, gnocchi, stews, breads, soups, and not forgetting the ever popular pie; you name it, it can probably be prepared with one of the many varieties of squash.
Throughout the year, farmer's markets as well as the produce sections of many neighborhood grocery stores seem to come alive with all varieties of squash. While most are used as decorations especially at this time of year, a large number is edible. A few of my favorites are acorn, kabocha, butternut, but I can't wait to get my hands on the fairy tale pumpkin. Just as its name suggests, a mature fairy tale pumpkin is shaped like Cinderella's coach in the way that its segments are distinguished by deep ridges. Not to be confused with the cinderella pumpkin which also has deep ridges but whose top is more noticeably flattened.
Stay tuned for at least one more "gourdish" recipe. Maybe I will be able to find a fairy tale pumpkin. Or not. Either way, the next recipe will be a sweet delight. Meanwhile, enjoy this hearty pumpkin loaf made with homemade pumpkin puree.
1. Set oven to 350 degree F. Liberally grease and flour an 8' x 4' loaf pan and set aside.
2. Coarsely chop the hazel nuts and pecans and toast in the oven for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside until ready to use.
3. Combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
4. In another mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, maple syrup, oil, and milk. Slowly whisk in pumpkin puree and add the freshly grated ginger. Combine the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in two batches. Finally, fold in the toasted chopped nuts.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and using a spatula smooth the top. Bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour and 15 minutes or until the top is cracked and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cook loaf in the pan on a wire rack before serving.
*Homemade pumpkin puree: Wash and cut a 1 lb pie pumpkin into eight to ten segments. Remove and discard the seeds and stringy interior. Place the "cleaned" segments in a large pot with 1 to 2 inches of water. Set over medium high heat for 30 minutes until the pulp becomes soft and capable of being scraped out with a spoon. Remove pulp and puree in blender. Pour back into pot over medium high heat, and cook for 20 to 30 minutes to remove most of the liquid.
i think i know the next recipe!!!!
did the use the other pumpkin for this or another one?!
aimee will like this recipe....cuz it's pumpkin.
I have been cooking with pumpkin for two months now some sweet and some savory. There are so many things one can do with a pumpkin and not grow tired of it. Your bread looks scrumptious.
Mmm..this looks and sounds delicious. I definitely want to try to make this one.
