This month = The Razor Scripting Language & DotNetNuke. 05:30-6:00pm Food and social +6:00-7:30pm Program "Razor is a code-first scripting language that is most widely known, and used, as a view engine for ASP.NET MVC. However, the Razor scripting engine can also be hosted outside of its traditional context in ASP.NET MVC, and the DotNetNuke project has done just that. Incorporated into the newest versions of the open source framework, the Razor Host module allows a developer to utilize the power of the Razor scripting language to build DotNetNuke modules. This presentation will provide an introduction to Razor, the DNN host module, and demo a geolocation module that integrates with DotNetNuke's user profile to plot the location of a portal's users on a map." Important meeting logistics info! When you get to the 11th floor, please go to the main conference room. All STLNET UG & DNNUG members will be eating and socializing together and will split up into separate meetings after the meeting introductions are done just before 6:00pm.

This is a free event, but seating is limited and there are no reservations. We meet on the last Wednesday of the month during the academic year, usually from 7:00 - 8:30 PM..
This month= For much of human history, plant extracts have been used as ingredients in potions and poisons. In the eastern Mediterranean, use of the latex of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) can be traced back at least to 1400 to 1200 B.C. The Sarpagandha root (Rauwolfia serpentina) has been used in India since approximately 1000 B.C.
Ancient people used medicinal plant extracts as purgatives, antitussives, sedatives, and treatments for a wide range of ailments, including snakebite, fever and insanity. As the use of medicinal plants spread westward across Arabia and Europe, new infusions and decoctions played a role in famous events. During his execution in 399 B.C., the philosopher Socrates drank an extract of coniine-containing hemlock (Conium maculatum). In the last century B.C., Queen Cleopatra used extracts of henbane (Hyoscyamus), which contains atropine, to dilate her pupils and appear more alluring to her male political rivals.
Today, 25% of our medicines still come either directly from plants or are modified plant chemicals and only 10% of plant species have been studied with respect to their chemical constituents!

We've talked about how we go about managing projects, we've spoken about the applications we use and now we will go in depth about some of those applications. Several of us at the February meeting took on the challenge of using specific applications for 30 days. During the March meeting, we'll present and talk about those experiences. If you haven't attended the previous meetings, it's no problem! We would look forward to hearing about your ideas and experiences!

- Social Media & the Egyptian Revolution!
by Scott Granneman
Thu, March 17, 6:30pm . 9:30pm
4633 World Pkwy Cir, Berkeley, MO 63134
Venue: IT Enterprises
http://www.stllinux.org/
Scott Granneman was teaching a class at the university when
the revolution occurred in Egypt. The topic in the class became a daily
study of how The Internet's new "social media" was a key factor in the
history making events. Was it not just the access to The Internet but
the nature of the "social media"? Scott has consolidated these
realizations into a one evening presentation for us.

A Daylight Comet Next September?
What Makes A Comet Bright?
by Dr. Joseph Marcus, M.D.
A new comet has been discovered that will pass between the Earth and the sun at the end of September 2011. If the right conditions develop, the comet could become bright enough to be seen during the daytime. But the brightness of new comets has been notoriously difficult to predict accurately. Dr. Marcus will explain what makes a comet shine and what factors determine how bright a comet will become. He will also discuss something about the composition of comets. He will explain how we can tell what a comet is made of, from a distance typically millions of miles away.

Really BIG Full Moon
Saturday, Mar 19, 2011
http://preview.tinyurl.com/6emlvlp
Biggest Full Moon in 19 Years Almost Certainly Won't Cause a Huge Natural Disaster.
On March 19th, the moon will be closer to Earth than it's been since 1992. The full moon that night will appear about 14 percent larger and significantly brighter than usual, but despite the brightness, the supermoon has a dark side. Supermoons have been linked to massive natural disasters in the past, from earthquakes to floods--but that connection is typically touted by astrologists. Astronomers and scientists, with typical drollness, say a catastrophe is unlikely.
