Emergency Responders Faced A Grim Scene
East Lyme — For a short time after Friday morning's fatal tanker truck accident, emergency officials allowed vehicles onto the Exit 75 entrance ramp to Interstate 95 north. A slow parade of wide-eyed rubberneckers gaped at the scene to their left, a triple-fatal accident involving a tanker truck that had lost control and jumped the center median, hurtling into oncoming traffic.
Onlookers saw an incomprehensible scene: the debris, crushed cars and cabs ripped from trailers.
But they were at a distance. Emergency officials, the first responders, came upon the disaster and got in the middle of it.
State police Lt. Louis J. Fusaro, Jr., commanding officer of Troop E in Montville, made an extra call Friday morning: to the Public Safety Employee Assistance Program for those emergency personnel who may have needed counseling or other assistance, either on the scene or in the coming days and weeks following the crash.
"There were agencies out there, unlike police and even fire to some extent, that probably don't see that as often as we do, and I thought it was a good idea if we had someone to offer assistance to people if they needed it," Fusaro said.
Fusaro said he didn't know whether any emergency responders used the services, and the EAP representatives declined, through Fusaro, to speak to the media. There were also representatives from an early intervention program, a pilot program run through the state police, on hand.
Sgt. Richard Crooks, the East Lyme resident state trooper, arrived at the scene between 15 minutes and a half hour after the accident. Firefighters were spraying foam on the fuel spill, and Crooks said his first thought, as always, was to determine what needed to be done.
"I've seen everything that you can possibly imagine," Crooks said. "It's gruesome sometimes, but you have a job to do, and you're the person that the public turns to, to make things right and stabilize situations like this; and you have to be able to function when confronted with situations like this."
Crooks said responders "detach" until the situation is taken care of.
"I think my family and my wife end up dealing with things like this, too, because you go home, and you talk to your family and work things out," Crooks said.
Crooks said a state trooper from Troop E in Westbrook was first on the scene. The other earliest responders came from the Flanders Fire Department, located about a half mile from where the accident occurred.
The trooper could not be reached on Saturday, and the fire department's first responders were in New York for a wedding, according to Jim Levandoski, deputy fire chief.
Levandoski said a nearly 40-year fire veteran told him Friday that the accident was among the 10 biggest incidents in his career.
"There were a lot of issues occurring all at once: fatalities, massive fuel spill, you had this massive response that this area doesn't normally get," Levandoski said. "There were a lot of issues going on (Friday), a lot of new issues even for us."
Levandoski said it is difficult to tell whether an accident like Friday's will affect the responders. In his 25 years, he said, he felt a brief bout of post-traumatic stress disorder after one accident: a fatal crash on Christmas Eve in 1992 in which six men were killed. After the debriefing a few days later, he said, he was fine.
"Even to this day, I can't tell you why that particular accident had an effect on me," Levandoski said. "So I can't tell you whether this crash affected anybody. Only that person will know whether they were affected. ... I don't know why your brain keys in on one more than the other."
Richard Morris, East Lyme's fire marshal, was one of the first four people on the scene. He said the earliest responders started pairing off, assessing the situation, calling for more ambulances, equipment and dispatchers, and establishing communications and a command channel.
Morris said he has 39 years of experience. Responders find ways to cope, he said, whether formally through the Employee Assistance Program or by talking with their peers. Morris said there was a lot of downtime for responders to pair off and talk at the scene during the day on Friday.
"One way or another they talk out these issues, whether back at the fire station or the police department amongst their peers," Morris said. "They all discuss these issues one way or the other, to relieve that stress inside and relieve those emotions."
Said Fusaro, from Troop E: "We see a lot of things that the average person doesn't get to see in a lifetime. And we see it all too often."

On This Date in History: Wilmer McLean was a Virginia grocer. He probably did fairly well at his craft. But, he didn't have much luck when it came to real estate. See, he had a patch of land not too far from the nation's capital. The first major conflict of the Civil War was known as the Battle of Bull run and it took place on McLean's land. Not only that, but Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard thought that the McLean house would make a good headquarters, so he comandeered it. The land was ravaged by the warfare and the house took a beating as a Union cannonball came crashing through the kitchen.
After the battle, which was also called the Battle of Manassas, McLean hung on but gave up a year later when the entire episode was repeated during the Second Battle of Bull Run. Following the second episode of his home being turned inside out, McLean picked up his family and moved to a small town some miles away in an effort to find some peace and quiet from the war.
After a couple of years, McLean thought he'd made a good move until this date in 1865. See, Generaly Ulysses S. Grant had gotten General Robert E. Lee to abandon Petersburg and Lee's army was on the run until finally, Lee sent Colonel Charles Marshall to find an appropriate site for a conference between the two army's commanders near the small town of Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia which was some miles from the old McLean house. The first person that Marshall came upon was none other than Wilmer McLean. McLean first steered the colonel to an abandoned house with no furniture in it. Colonel Marshall quickly dismissed the idea. McLean felt like it was all but inevitable that the war had reached out and grabbed him again so he offered his home.
On that afternoon, General Robert E. Lee signed the articles of surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant in the front parlor of the McLean home and effectively ended the Civil War, though some skirmishes would go on for several days. Now, this was a pretty historic occasion and the soldiers on hand knew it. They wanted a piece of history. Union General Edward O.C. Ord gave McLean $40 for the table at which Grant had sat. Another Union General, either Philip Sheridan or George A. Custer, got a good deal by acquiring the table at which Lee sat for just $25. At that point, McLean figured he needed his furniture and brought an end to the impromtu rummage sale. But, less honorable individuals would have none of it. Chairs were broken up, upholstery ripped and the parlor was torn to pieces as if another cannonball had ripped through. Once again, Wilmer McLean had been touched by Civil War history…and his house took a beating. Maybe he should have moved to Texas.
The selling of the Grant table for more than the Lee table reminds me of when I lived in Birmingham. I once went into an art store. On some shelves were busts. Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest went for $500. Robert E. Lee and Jesus Christ went for $550. Bear Bryant? He went for $600! Yes indeed, it's the bible belt and they love Robert E. Lee and Jesus, but you better not schedule a church social when Alabama football has a game!
Some 32 years after the close of the Civil War, a little girl was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. By the age of six, this young lady became known in her church as the "baby contralto." Recognizing her musical talent, her father bought a piano but was unable to afford lessons so the young budding prodigy simply taught herself. In her early teens, she began accepting invitations to sing until she finally got the courage to ask for $5 per performance. Groups were eager to pay. Around that same time, the Philadelphia Choral Society held a benefit concert that raised $500 so that she might be able to afford voice lessons with a leading contralto of the day. Following her high school graduation, her principal introduced her to the highly sought after vocal teacher Guiseppe Boghetti and her audition brought the man to tears.
Throughout the 1920's and 1930's, her career exploded. She performed all over Europe at great stages such as those found in London and Berlin. When Arturo Toscanini heard her in Salzburg at the Mozarteum international festival, the prestigious conductor told her, "Yours is a voice such as one hears once in a hundred years." She even performed before the King of both Sweden and Denmark. By the late 1930's, she was performing some 70 concerts a year in Europe, Latin America and in the United States, including at Carnegie Hall. Wherever she went, she was welcomed to great acclaim…that is until she attempted to perform in the capital of the United States of America. You see, Marian Anderson was one of the greatest contraltos the nation has ever produced but she was rebuffed by some who were not deaf but still could not hear. Although a bloody Civil War had been fought that was thought to have brought freedom for all, African-Americans were not living on a level playing field in many parts of the country, including the nation's capital.
Washington's Constitutional Hall was the city's foremost venue but the city was segregated and the hall itself had separate seating based on race. I bet I know who got the front seats. Anyway, when Marian's agent attempted the book the hall, he was told that it was unavailable. It seems that, in 1935, those who ran the hall created a rule that called for only white performers. So, while it was supposed the be the greatest venue in the city, the greatest contralto in the nation, if not the world, was not allowed in. Marian Anderson was good enough for the crowned heads of Europe, but not Constitutional Hall. How can such a place be considered the best when it won't allow the best? The First Lady of the United States, Eleanor Roosevelt was so incensed that she resigned from the Daughters of the American Revolution which just so happened to be the owner of Constitutional Hall. Musicians protested and much of the public was in an uproar. I'm not sure if President Roosevelt ever commented but, I'm sure he gave his blessing to Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes when he arranged a free open air concert for Easter Sunday. On this date in 1939, 74 years to the day after The Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Union forces under the command of Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant, Marian Anderson stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and performed before 75,000 adoring onlookers. Millions more listened at home on their radios.
Relating to her performance, Anderson said that at first, she was reluctant to accept the invitation because she didn't like a lot of show and that "one could not tell in advance what direction the affair would take. I studied my conscience. …. As I thought further, I could see that my significance as an individual was small in this affair. I had become, whether I like it or not, a symbol, representing my people." A few weeks later, Anderson performed at the White House for President Roosevelt the visiting King George VI and Queen Elizabeth of Great Britain. Finally, in 1943, at the height of World War II, Marian Anderson performed at Constitutional Hall under the condition that the Daughter's of the American Revolution suspend their segregationist seating policy.
While history justifiably remembers Dr. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Marian Anderson is largely forgotten. In a city filled with monuments that elicit great symbolism, I think it is quite fitting to remember the contralto who performed on the steps of the monument, made largely of marble from former Confederate States, to the man remembered for his leadership in a great struggle the resulted in freedom for African Americans on the day that struggle effectively came to an end. It's folly to try and play the "what if" game but I do wonder for a moment that, if Marian Anderson had not performed in 1939, would Dr. King have been able to stand in literally the same spot 25 years later? Her career flourished and she lived to see great change prior to her death in 1993 at the age of 96. But, certainly, as her voice was one heard once in a lifetime, her legacy should be etched in the American conscience for eternity as one rarely seen in a nation's history.

Name: Terri
Gender: Female
Age: 24
Location: ND
I'm having a problem with knowing when I am feeling an orgasm. I feel like I have to fake it around my husband because I am unsure. Sometimes when I'm alone I just feel like I have to go to the bathroom so I stop myself and then other times I feel like my legs are paralyzed but that's it. I don't ever feel like I'm sexually stimulated. Just tired. Any ideas as to what I am doing or not doing or what might be causing it?
I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and guess that your are, what we in the business call, preorgasmic. My experience tells me that if you've actually had an orgasm, you'd know it. All the symptoms you list — feel like you have pee; feel like your legs are paralyzed; or just plain exhausted, don't sound orgasmic to me.
I can't actually say I know what you are doing wrong, if anything. You don't really go into detail on how you pleasure yourself. But I will hazard a guess as to what is causing this. And that would be inadequate stimulation to your pleasure centers.
Even in this day and age where sexually laden messages abound in the popular culture, there are still some women, even young women, who are unversed about orgasms in general and how they could go about getting one for themselves in particular.
Orgasms don't always come easily for some women, and that's a fact. I suppose there are as many reasons for this as there are preorgasmic women. A woman's pleasure center (her clit) is more subtle and less obvious than a man's raging boner. Women are socialized about sexuality — even nowadays — in a much different way then men are. Men have more cultural permissions to be sexually adventuresome than do women. And if the truth be told, us men folk, — we don't need no stinkin' permission to get our self off!
The basic formula for achieving an orgasm is acquainting yourself with your pussy. Map out all the points of interest. Find out what feels good, and repeat it. The object of this first step is not to stress about having an orgasm it's all about reconnecting with your cunt.
The more you know about this marvelous part of you the better you're gonna be at slammin yourself a screamin' meme when the time comes. Knowing your way around your pussy is also gonna be helpful in partnered sex, especially if your partners are men.
The first part of this exercise is called a self-sexological exam. Get a hand mirror and find a really detailed diagram of female genitalia on the internet. Using the diagram as a guide, work at familiarizing yourself and making friends with your pussy. Once you are certain you know all the parts, I want you to do a detailed touch test. I want you to test for sensitivity very square inch of your body from your asshole to your navel. I want you to draw pictures of your own cunt and surrounding area, then color them to represent the levels of sensitivity — red being the hottest and most pleasurable areas to blue being the more neutral areas and all the colors in-between. I encouraged you to try this exercise with both a wet hand and a dry hand. I suggest a nice personal lubricant for your wet hand exploration. Spend at least 30 minutes a day for three consecutive days on this home-play. You have a lot of reacquainting to do, don't cha know. And this is private time; your partner(s) is not invited.
The next step in your home-play will include a vibrator. If you don't already have one, shop for one. There are plenty of suggestions for vibes on my product reviews site: DrDickSexToyReviews.com. (There's a vast array of pleasure products on that site and all the guesswork has been eliminated. The Dr Dick Review Crew painstakingly reviewed each product so that you'll be able to see what's hot and what's not.)
Now using the pictures you created of your genitals in part one of this exercise, I want you to kick-start that vibrator, throw it into first gear and start making small lazy circles around the blue areas, and work your way to the bright red areas. Do this privately for 30 minutes for three consecutive days or until there was a breakthrough.
The next step is masturbation. You may have tried it before without success, that's ok. This time you'll be better informed about all the hot spots of your cooch that you learned in step one. I'm a big fan of full body masturbation. So while you're diddlin' yourself spread the sexual energy all over your body — tits, ass, feet, mouth, whatever.
Vary your technique: stroke, pinch, pat, massage, and rub yourself all over. Vary your breathing, gyrate your hips, listen to sexy music, rent some porn, watch yourself in a mirror, or throw in some Kegel exercises. Try a wet hand. Play with yourself in the bath. Hell, dance around naked with a jewel in your navel…whatever it takes.
Many women experience their first orgasm with the help of a vibrator. I encourage you to be adventuresome and experiment with one too. Try a dildo or another sex toy.
Be sure to keep a journal during this exploratory period. This will help you later to bridge the gap in communicating with your partner(s).
Finally, Terri, I want to turn you on to a fantastic website, www.Clitical.com. This is a one-stop shop for all things relating to female sexuality.
Good luck

BASIS School, Inc.
|Tucson, Ariz.
|Year First Chartered and Authorizer
|English Learners
|Subsidized Meals
|Special Needs
|Per Pupil Spending
In the midst of a national focus on educational performance and accountability, BASIS School, Inc. achieves both through its priorities of hard work and academic achievement. The school's mission is to provide a rigorous academic background to prepare students for college, with an emphasis on a classical liberal arts education based on European education practices. Struggling students receive extra academic support until they can meet the school's performance standards, and teachers are hired not on the basis of certification but according to their level of expertise. Of the 19 faculty members, 10 have a master's degree, and two have doctorate degrees, all in the subjects they are teaching. BASIS parents, who maintain an active community dialogue, adhere strongly to the school's mission. Says one parent, "The workload is hard, but it brings a sense of satisfaction and prepares children for the real world." Students too appreciate their school culture, reporting that the school's small size and emphasis on enabling every student to succeed makes it feel like "an extended family."
Housed in a converted one-story structure in Tucson, Ariz., the BASIS School is open to children of any background or ability, including those who qualify for special education. The school serves a student population that is 74 percent white, 12 percent Hispanic, 10 percent Asian American, and 4 percent African American. The 246 students in grades 5-12 must take a placement exam before enrolling. Students who place below their desired grade level are offered such options as remedial work in summer school, a retake of the placement exam after home preparation, or enrollment in a lower grade. Consistent with the school's liberal arts focus, students in all grade levels take courses in language, literature, history, art, philosophy, mathematics, and science, in a curriculum that is aligned with the Arizona State Standards and also exceeds those requirements in many areas. Sports and fine arts courses are offered to all students, and middle school students take physical education. After some pressure from parents, after-school sports, band, and other courses and activities were added.
The BASIS School is the brainchild of a husband and wife team, both economists, who founded the school to combine their idea of the best from European and American educational traditions. The European tradition, they feel, provides academic rigor, while the American tradition promotes creativity, problem solving, free expression, and a sense of community. Chartered in 1998, the BASIS School proved so successful that in 2001 its founders opened a second campus, BASIS Scottsdale, in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Program and Operations
The mission of the BASIS School drives every aspect of its daily operations. School leaders are guided by a self-described "bias toward traditional teaching." They strive "to avoid educational fads and empty slogans and to put substance above form." Faculty, parents, and students fully understand that the students are expected to work hard at courses that are more rigorous than most of those at similar grade levels in local schools. All students begin taking algebra in the seventh grade and move on to calculus in high school. Sixth-graders study Latin to prepare for learning scientific terms and romance languages, seventh-graders take public speaking, and eighth-graders take economics. High school courses are based on the Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum, with 12 out of 30 courses qualifying as AP, and the course load is designed such that by the end of the 11th grade all students have enough credits to graduate. In their senior year, if they choose to stay, they may engage in higher-level coursework.
|The BASIS School is the brainchild of a husband and wife team who founded the school to combine their idea of the best from European and American educational traditions.
An integral part of the school's program is its system of yearly comprehensive exams, which every student must pass in the core subjects of English, mathematics, science, and social studies in order to be promoted to the next grade. In January, students take a "preliminary exam" in each subject, which serves as an accountability measure for students, a test-development tool for faculty, and a formative evaluation for teachers, parents, and administrators to make decisions about tutoring and other support options for the students. If students do not score higher than 60 percent on an exam, they are not promoted unless they successfully retake the exam before the start of the next school year. All members of the school community express satisfaction that the school allows no exceptions to these promotion policies. The faculty feel that students learn to take responsibility for their education. When students occasionally leave the school because of the heavy workload, they often come back, reporting that they were "bored" in other schools or felt lost in the larger, less personalized school environments.
Along with its rigorous curriculum and high performance standards, the BASIS School offers a number of supports for students that are designed not only to enable them to reach high academic standards, but also to foster a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Fifth grade, called "6 prep," may include some students who are sixth-graders but not yet ready to engage in the full sixth-grade program. Students in need of academic help have access to tutoring both during the school day and after school and can enroll in four weeks of summer school. Teachers are required to hold after-school office hours twice a week-one day for student help and one day for parent-teacher conferences. Because the school is small, students may keep the same teachers over several years, and the teachers as a result understand students' unique strengths and weaknesses and can target help as needed. In addition to this kind of support from teachers, students also report feeling supported by their peers. One student notes that BASIS students "feel like brothers and sisters." In a school culture where "It is 'cool' to be on the honor roll, and even cooler to be on the high honor roll," the array of student support networks is intended to help students "find enjoyment in academic achievement."
During the last two weeks of the school year, after the comprehensive exams, students engage in project-based learning. Examples include developing and putting on an opera as part of the Metropolitan Opera Project and traveling to Mexico for a marine biology project. These last two weeks serve as an opportunity to put into practice skills that students have developed over the course of the school year.
Continuous Learning
Implicit in the school's high performance standards is an emphasis on improving teaching and learning. Student progress is assessed regularly, with six grading periods over the course of the year and a final, cumulative grade. Student achievement and improvement are acknowledged via frequent honors assemblies. Students receive a gold or silver balloon for achieving "distinguished" or "regular" honor roll, and students who have improved their cumulative average by 2 percentage points or more are honored and also awarded a balloon. A limited number of non-academic awards are given out by teachers who wish to recognize students who achieve highly in other areas. The balloons have proven to be an effective inspiration to work hard, and even high school boys report "loving" the balloons. Students carry them throughout the school day, and they are a visible symbol of improvement, pride, and accomplishment. By continually recognizing student achievement and improvement, the school aims to strike "an appropriate balance between students feeling challenged by rigorous academics and the self-satisfaction that flows from the school's recognition of excellence based on hard work."
The BASIS School also devotes significant time and resources to improving teacher practice. At least once a semester, and twice or more for new teachers, the school director makes unscheduled observations of each teacher in his or her classroom. Observations are also conducted by peers, and in each case an evaluation is discussed with the observed teacher. Any problems are reported in writing to both the teacher and school administrators. Parents may also provide feedback on their children's teachers. "Hard measures," such as test scores, and "soft measures," such as science fairs and math competitions, are also considered in teachers' evaluations.
Teachers meet one afternoon a week to share teaching strategies and information about struggling students. All teachers participate in professional development workshops and trainings, including the College Board's Advanced Placement training, which the middle school as well as the high school teachers attend. At the end of every school year, all faculty and staff attend a two-day retreat, where together they review the students' performance on the comprehensive exams. Consistent with the emphasis on continuous improvement, the next year's syllabi are developed based on their analysis of these results. In August, teachers spend two weeks before school starts finalizing the syllabi and preparing for the year.
The school's founders also structure creative financial incentives into teacher compensation to encourage teacher commitment and improvement. Faculty compensation comprises a base salary and a "performance bonus," which can range from 6 to 14 percent of the base salary. Performance bonuses are based on quantifiable goals determined at the beginning of the school year. Teacher commitment is also rewarded through a "wellness bonus." Teachers start the year with five paid sick days and are compensated at the end of the year for any that remain.
Parents and Partners
The ethic of individual responsibility and clear communication about standards and goals is one to which BASIS parents adhere strongly. Parent buy-in to the school's mission is deliberately sought, as the school expects parents to participate actively in their children's education. Before a student enrolls, at least one parent must come for a school visit and interview with the school director. Parents are informed of the school's strict, high expectations and are told that if a child is not ready to work hard, or if parents are not willing to support their child to work hard, then the parents should consider other educational options. At the beginning of the school year, every student receives a Communication Journal, which serves as the primary means of communication between teachers and parents. Teachers and parents use the journals to correspond, and students use them to record daily homework, other assignments, and important information. Parents also frequently contact teachers by e-mail, often sending group e-mails when the matter is of general concern.
|High school courses are based on the Advanced Placement (AP) curriculum.
In addition, parents engage in an active community dialogue about the needs and goals of the school. The parent-teacher organization, called BASIS Boosters, operates independently from the school administration and so is not a typical parent-teacher organization. The Boosters run a parent-created and supported Web site addressing any and all aspects of the school. The Web site includes an online calendar, a message board for announcements and discussions, links to resources and photos, and a teacher information database. Recently, the Web site offered a poll to ascertain whether the school should stock healthier snacks in its vending machines. Says one school administrator, "The important thing is that it's run by the parents, not the administration."
|The BASIS School was selected by the AALE for a pilot program to develop criteria for charter school accreditation.
Governance and Accountability
Both BASIS schools, in Tucson and in Scottsdale, are owned and operated by BASIS School, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. BASIS School, Inc. serves as the contracting agent with the Arizona State Board for Charter Schools and also appoints the school boards at each school. At the BASIS School, Tucson, both school founders currently sit on the board, as does the school director. The remaining members are a local community college professor, who has been repeatedly recognized as a superior educator, an experienced University of California educator and philanthropist, a professor emeritus at the University of Arizona, the school's drama and public speaking teacher, and a parent representative.
The BASIS School, Tucson, was selected by the American Academy for Liberal Education (AALE) for a pilot program to develop criteria for charter school accreditation. (AALE is an accrediting agency for liberal arts colleges and universities.) The academy's main criteria are high levels of academic achievement and commitment to a liberal arts curriculum. Charter applicants are also assessed on factors including mission, teacher quality, assessment, financial management, organization and governance, student services, special education, and facilities. Beginning this year, the BASIS School will undergo annual reviews with AALE to secure renewal of its accreditation. In addition, the school continues to be accountable to the state of Arizona, which requires all charter school students to take Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) test and the Stanford 9 standardized achievement tests.
BASIS students consistently score well above the state average on the AIMS test, and the BASIS School, Tucson, was the only school in Arizona in 2003 whose students' median scores were above the 90th percentile on the Stanford 9 math test in all grades. While academics are important, school leaders continue to emphasize that "BASIS graduates should be not only well prepared for college admission, but more importantly they should be prepared to succeed in college and enter their adult lives without losing their appreciation of learning."

|(Nanowerk News) At the International Small-Angle Scattering Conference, Bruker today announced the launch of the N8 HORIZON Small- and Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS and WAXS) system for materials research applications.
|The new N8 HORIZON features an innovative and compact vertical instrument design and as a consequence provides advantages over conventional horizontal SAXS systems, such as ease-of-use, convenient sample handling, small footprint, and low cost-of-ownership. The N8 HORIZON is a powerful tool for both high-end research and for multi-user facilities investigating a variety of nano-materials from solid bulks, to fibers, surfaces or biological samples.
|The N8 HORIZON is equipped with advanced technologies to achieve high data quality with short measurement time. The latest IµS™ micro-focus compact X-ray source boosts the intensity of the X-ray beam at the sample. The large 2-dimensional VÅNTEC-500™ detector based on the proprietary MIKROGAP™ technology features quantum-limited sensitivity to detect even weak SAXS signals. The revolutionary new SCATEX™ scatter-free pinholes set new benchmarks in terms of X-ray beam quality and enable high flux on the sample with improved signal-to-noise.
|The N8 HORIZON addresses many requirements of a multi-user facility. Novel features, such as intelligent screen-keys for intuitive operation, ergonomic sample loading, a small footprint, and an integrated camera for quick and easy sample positioning maximize the ease-of-use and keep the learning curve for operating the instrument short. Low power consumption, no water cooling and no requirements concerning external infrastructure ensure low cost of ownership.
|The N8 HORIZON follows the Bruker philosophy of combining high technical sophistication with ease-of-use, and will bring SAXS beyond the expert level into the standard laboratory, stated Dr. Geert Vanhoyland, Product Manager SAXS at Bruker AXS. SAXS is a key method for characterizing nano-materials in their native environment, or under non-ambient conditions. It provides global, statistically relevant insight into the 3-dimensional nano-structural properties of new materials like catalysts, liquid crystals, etc. Moreover, SAXS is non-destructive and requires virtually no sample preparation that could influence the sample properties.
|The N8 HORIZON perfectly fits into our successful Bruker SAXS portfolio, as this new system will further strengthen Brukers position as the leading SAXS company by expanding the market potential into applications which never used SAXS before, commented Professor Dr. Peter Laggner, the Director for Nanostructure Solutions at Bruker AXS.

Duke Pearson
Although this Blue Note session (reissued on CD in 1996) is led by trumpeter Johnny Coles, pianist Duke Pearson (who contributed the arrangements and five of the six compositions) really functioned as leader. The typically impressive Blue Note lineup (which includes Leo Wright on alto and flute, tenor saxophonist Joe Henderson, bassist Bob Cranshaw, and either Walter Perkins or Pete LaRoca on drums, in addition to Coles and Pearson) handles the obscure material with creative invention. Most memorable are the catchy title cut and the somber ballad "So Sweet My Little Girl." Cole's brittle trumpet is the lead voice throughout, although the young Joe Henderson was already instantly recognizable. ~ Scott Yanow

I love beauty products, and I love FREEBIES, and when you get FREE beauty products that are also ethical and cruelty-free, you just can't beat it!
I am getting back to posting daily after the Holidays, but I couldn't let you miss one of my absolute FAVORITE deals!! Thanks again to Swagbucks, now through the extended date of 1/5/16, get a $15 rebate when you spend $20 at The Body Shop! That means you can get $20 in great beauty, bath, and personal care products for only $5!! Shop sales and use any available coupons and discounts to get even more product for your money! If you are buying more, there is also an additional $15 rebate you can combine with a $50 in store purchase from Ibotta. This means by combining the two offers, you can get $50 in awesome products for only $20!
It may look like it takes a bit when the instructions are written out, but it will literally take you just a few minutes in total to complete the rebates. There is a limit of ONE offer per person/account/Visa card. You CAN have more than one rebate per household, you just have to have an additional Swagbucks and Ibotta account for another person/family member, and a different VISA card. You can use a Visa Debit Card, just make sure that your cashier rings the purchase up as credit. Sometimes they do not ask, so make sure you tell them. It will NOT give your rebate if it is rung as debit, as the offer is through Visa. I use my Visa bank account card as credit.
If you are not familiar with Swagbucks, they are in my opinion the most important couponing and shopping site that is out there. They not only offer all of the high dollar printable coupons available, they pay you for each one you use. They also offer cashback, and all kinds of other ways to both save and earn money. Their offers like these are simply amazing!! I have received so many freebies from using Swagbucks, and a lot of it I have been paid money just to bring home! Of course it is totally FREE to use as well!
How to receive 1500 Swagbucks ($15) It literally takes less than a minute
- First, sign up with a FREE account with Swagbucks. Once signed up, click the Swagbucks logo on the top left hand corner of the tool bar on any Swagbucks page. Click the "Discover" link on the left by scrolling down a bit, then "Trial Pay. " You can "Sort" by choosing "Highest Payout" to bring it up faster.
- Next, click on The Body Shop offer, click "continue," and enter the Visa credit card number you will use to make your purchase, along with your email address. You will only need to enter the card number, NOT the name on your card, expiration or security code info. It is indeed safe, and the only way to receive your rebate. You CAN use a Visa Debit Card, I used my bank card. Just remember the transaction HAS to be run as "Credit" as this is a deal sponsored by Visa.
- Shop in store at The Body Shop, and spend $20 BEFORE tax for the offer to qualify. Once you have finished your purchase, you will "immediately" and automatically be credited with 1500 Swagbucks which is the equivalent of $15 cash. No need to do anything else for the Swagbucks offer. With Swagbucks you can cash out via Paypal like cash, or with other store gift cards.
- Sign up for a free Ibotta account by clicking here. If you're reading this on a smart phone you can immediately download for free to your phone from the link. If using a computer, you can download for free by simply downloading and signing in to your account using the email address you used to create it.

Another celestial event in a month of good skywatching, the Lyrid meteor showers will be visible this week.
The annual mid-April event occurs when the Earth passes through comet debris. It peaked in the early hours of Tuesday, but meteors will be visible through Friday from all parts of the Northern Hemisphere. NASA experts estimate the count at about 20 an hour.
The best time to look in the Bay Area is in the few hours starting at midnight. The rise of the gibbous moon — just before 3 a.m. Wednesday — will make smaller meteors less visible. As always with astronomical events, dark, clear skies afford the best viewing.
The Lyrids are named for Lyra, the constellation in which they appear to originate.
Northern California skywatchers last week saw a total lunar eclipse as well as a dramatically bright view of the planet Mars.

Pittsburg Hillside Development
Draft Hillside Development Ordinance
These are the hills we are saving!!
Help us to preserve the beauty of these hills for future generations.
What's going on?
Back in November 2005, Measure P stated that Pittsburg was voting for open space protection and traffic reduction. Unfortunately, just the opposite is happening and there is a push for more development which, will lead to more traffic. The recently proposed draft Hillside Development Ordinance allows for massive development above the 500-foot elevation!
Don't let the City of Pittsburg give away our hills to the Seeno Family with their plan to build up to 1,650 sprawl units and estate mansions in our hills! This irresponsible development will add 13,000 extra car trips PER DAY to our local roads, hidden costs to taxpayers, air pollution, and destroy wildlife habitat.
Help improve the image and quality of life in our city. SAVE OUR HILLS!!
What you can do:
Get involved in the effort to protect Pittsburg's hillsides!
It is up to us to guarantee the protection of our hillsides for future generations. We need to make sure the public is included in the process every step of the way.
Attend this Meeting and the other Important Meetings to voice your opinion on the City's vision to allow massive development on our hillsides! You can view all of the upcoming meetings on our Meetings page.

Joris Lacoste's 4 PREPARED DREAMS Will Be Presented at FIAF's Crossing the Line Festival, 10/10-10/13
As part of the sixth edition of Crossing the Line 2012, FIAF's annual transdisciplinary festival of contemporary arts, the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) presents 4 Prepared Dreams, by Crossing the Line 2012 artist-in-residence Joris Lacoste. 4 Prepared Dreams explores hypnosis as an artistic medium with four seminal New York artists: singer-songwriter April March; Obie Award-winning director and writer Annie Dorsen; filmmaker/composer/musician Tony Conrad; and filmmaker Jonathan Caouette, and will be presented in FIAF's Le Skyroom from Wednesday, October 10 through Saturday, October 13, 2012 at 8pm. A different artist will join Lacoste each night.
Moving the stage into the audience's mind, and inviting his spectators on an internal journey, Joris Lacoste uses language, physicality, music, and performance to shape his extraordinary, unclassifiable works. For 4 Prepared Dreams, FIAF commissioned Lacoste to create four scripted dreams for four remarkable New York artists, who will each experience their dream during a one-on-one hypnosis session with Lacoste. The artwork is the dream experienced during the private hypnosis session, when the subject succumbs to the fiction Lacoste has constructed and provoked. Each session will be followed by a post-performance interview-open to the public-between Lacoste and the artist about the experience.
4 Prepared Dreams will be presented at Le Skyroom (22 E 60th Street between Park and Madison Avenue). Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 day-of. Tickets for FIAF Members are $10. For more information, visit fiaf.org/ctl or call 212-355-6160.
October 10 will feature April March, October 11 will feature Annie Dorsen, October 12 will feature Tony Conrad, and October 13 will feature Jonathan Caouette.
Born in 1973, Joris Lacoste lives and works in Paris. He has been writing for theater and radio since 1996 and has been performing his own shows since 2003. He created "9 lyriques pour actrice et caisse claire" in 2005 with Stephanie Béghain and "Purgatoire" at the Théâtre national de la Colline in 2007, where he was also associate author. From 2007 to 2009 he was co-director of "Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers." Taking his inspiration from literature, theater, dance, visual arts, music, sound, and poetry, his work is always deeply researched. He initiated two group projects, the "W" project in 2004 and the "Encyclopédie de la parole" in 2007, resulting notably in 2009 in a solo work, "Parlement" starring Emmanuelle Lafon. In 2009 he launched the project "Hypnographie" to explore artistic uses of hypnosis: he produced the radio play "Au musée du sommeil" (2009), the performance "Restitution" (2010), the exhibition-performance "Le Cabinet d'hypnose" (2010), the play "Le vrai spectacle" (2011), and the exhibition "12 rêves préparés."
Crossing the Line is the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF)'s annual fall festival presenting interdisciplinary works and performances created by artists from around the world in New York. The festival provides opportunities for New Yorkers to explore the dialogue between artist and participant, examine how artists help re-imagine the world, and engage in the vital role artists play as critical thinkers and catalysts for social evolution. Curated by Lili Chopra, Artistic Director of FIAF, Simon Dove, Director of the Herberger Institute School of Dance at Arizona State University, and Gideon Lester, Director of Theater Programs at Bard College, Crossing the Line is initiated and produced by FIAF in partnership with leading cultural institutions and takes place this year from September 14–October 14, 2012.
FIAF's mission is to create and offer New Yorkers innovative and unique programs in education and the arts that explore the evolving diversity and richness of French cultures. FIAF seeks to generate new ideas and promote cross cultural dialogue through partnerships and new platforms of expression. www.fiaf.org

Operation Return and Replace
All four were dead. All helplessly, hopelessly dead. No doubt about it. Two were on the bottom upside down, and two were floating in the water upside down. With the only sound being the gentle whirring of the air pump, these four fish had met their maker after only 2 hours after my son purchased them. He was upset, to say the least, and I felt so bad for him. However, I tried to explain to him that this happens all the time, and with just a hint of doubt he replied, "How do you know?"
You Don't Have Anything To Do
"How do I know?" Ha! Well, he kind of already knew the answer, but let me back up and tell you the beginning of this story. [You knew a story was coming, right?] When I was about nine years old, my dad purchased a pet shop in the small town in Texas that I'm from, and gave it to my mom. Now, you're probably wondering why he'd do this. Well, everyone else was wondering why he did this too including my mom. Dumbfounded, my mom asked him why, he answered, "Well, now that Caroline is in school all the time, I noticed you needed something to do. So, I bought you a pet shop." Yes he, indeed, said those very words. I was there, and I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't been. You know those big exaggerated dramatic pauses that everyone's always talking about? Yeah, insert one here. Can you believe the audacity of my dad? Obviously, he hadn't run through this whole scenario in his head before saying it because if he had, he surely would've realized what an asenine reply that was. "She didn't have anything to do?" Oh boy, did he really screw that one up. To top it off, my mom was never the "animal sort." We'd always had a few pets, but she always made it clear that we had to take care of them. What was mom going to do with a pet shop and a temporarily insane husband?
What's Better Than Having Some Pets?
The pet shop came with snakes, birds, hermit crabs, the largest selection of tropical fish in the area, and a 16-year old part-time girl who had been working there for a while. Well, not one to back down from a challenge, my mother first sold all the snakes. She hates snakes. At the zoo, she won't even go into the snake house. She was willing to give them away just to get rid of them, but she sold them cheap and threw-in all the supplies for free. Then she employed me at the age of nine [my second job in all my nine years]. I was in "kid heaven." I walked there everyday from school with anticipation. I mean, what's better than having some pets? Your mom owning the pet store. That's what. I soon found out though that more "pets" meant more work.
Remember When Stores Closed on Sundays?
The pet shop ~named Pisces Pet Shop~ was open Monday -Friday from 10am - 5pm, Saturday's it was open until 6pm, and was closed on Sunday's back when everyone was closed on Sunday's. However, the animals must eat everyday, so we were there on Sunday to feed and clean. A typical morning with birds included replacing the newspaper, the water with vitamins, the food [after blowing the chaff off], and making sure that each cage had a salt lick, a mineral attachment for sharpening beaks, and a sufficient supply of gravel. [Huh?] Small caged birds have a salt deficiency and they need gravel to keep in their craw to help digest food. That whole "not having any teeth thing" can be a bummer sometimes. [You learn something new everyday, right?] Not counting the annoying finches [a small bird], there were probably about 50 birds in all ~ parakeets, cockatiels, Love Birds, doves, and several different species of parrots. Can you imagine the racket and the mess that they made?
Operation Seek & Dispose
After the birds came the fish. There were, like, over 100 10-gallon tanks full of every species of tropical fish you could think of [and some snails, newts, and fresh plants], and 1 150-gallon tank that contained our huge Oscars. Not only because of their name, which reminded me of a certain donkey, the Oscars were cool especially at feeding time. In addition, to some packaged food, they ate those little cheap orange fish called Comets. I always saved the Oscar's feeding time for last. Call me gross, but there is just something about one bigger animal eating a live, smaller animal that is fascinating, especially to a nine year-old. We also had these Siamese Fighting Fish, also called Betas. They're unique because a male cannot live with another male, nor is it best that it live with any other fish. Obviously, at some time or another, it must live with a female, but you usually see them in small glass bowls or jars all by themselves. Why? Because they like to fight...to their death. Looking back, I can't believe I never put 2 together to test the theory. Oh well. As for feeding all the other fish, that was rather simple. On both sides of the store, we had 2 rows [one up and one down] of aquariums running the length of the store. I would open all the lids at one time, and then with fish food flakes in hand, simply walk the length of the store twice on each side and drop the flakes. Then I would inspect each tank for two things: ick [which is a common fish illness], and dead fish ["Operation Seek & Dispose"]. I simply scooped the dead fish out and threw them away. Yes, there were dead fish every day. That's what happens to fish. They live. They eat. They reproduce. Then they die. It's that whole "circle of life" thing. For some fish it's shorter than others for any number of reasons. Needless to say, I learned a whole lot about life from taking care of those fish.
Gorgeous 2 Bedroom Cozy, Unique Cottage For Sale
The hermit crabs were pretty simple: fresh food, fresh water, and extra shells of varying sizes for when they outgrow their current shell. Just between you and me, you have not lived until you have seen a hermit crab "move-in" to it's new shell ~ totally cool.
Who Really Had "The Thing" For Animals?
Eventually we added hamsters, gerbils, Macaws, other various parrots, canaries, rabbits, and whatever else my dad and I could talk my mom into. You see, my dad didn't buy that dang pet shop for my mom. He was the one with "the thing" for animals. Even though he had a degree in Animal Husbandry [now Animal Science], I hadn't realized this until recently when looking through a bunch of old photos of his. I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many photos there are of my dad and various pets of his when he was growing up. It was an "Ah-hah" moment for me. Also, I've mentioned before that my dad's mom, my Paw Paw, raised and showed Siamese Cats, and there's a ton of photos of her and her prize-winning cats as well as ones of just the cats. It also explains all those Sunday bird-watching trips to the bird sanctuary while I was growing up. Yes, we would spend the whole day finding and looking at birds. [The things our parents make us do.] And as for my mom, she "ran the shop" and the part-timer and I took care of and sold the animals. Well, at least she had something to do now...on top of taking care of the home and all, that is.
RIP: They Lived. They Ate. They Reproduced. They Died
Though I have more animal family stories to tell, the whole point of me telling you all this was to demonstrate that I do have a body of knowledge concerning fish. I told my son to not worry ~ that this happens, that it wasn't his fault. And then I explained to him my fish-feeding routine that I had everyday which included the special "Operation Seek & Dispose." I told him I'd return them for him, and get some new ones. He replied, " I don't want anymore fish if they're just going to die." I gently explained to him that he can't live his life like that. Besides the tank is set-up and the pump is whirring. So last night, I revisited "Operation Seek & Dispose". Now the 4 "deceased" are in a red Solo plastic cup leftover from the holidays which is inside a ziploc bag all sitting on my kitchen counter waiting to be returned. Mission today: "Operation Return & Replace," which won't be the last time, I know.

What fun childhood memories those are. And. How nice of your mom not to have kicked your dad's teeth in.ReplyDelete
What a great story. I don't think my mom would have taken it as well as your mom did!ReplyDelete
I love it! I love how you write. I sit here with my coffee and find myself totally absorbed and laughing out load. You have reminded me to listen to the whispers of inspiration at all times. Four dead fish = great story! Who-da thunk-it? :)ReplyDelete
I love this post, Caroline. I'm an animal lover, just like my mom was. When mom died 9 years ago, I adopted her ring-necked dove named Lucky. He's still here, happily residing with two cats and an aquarium full of fish.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your wonderful stories!
Thank you! I'm glad y'all enjoyed this story, because I have many more family stories about pets coming up real soon. I agree with you, Herstoryan, "Who-da thunk-it?" Our ancestors are more like us than not. Along with the farm animals, they had pets, too. I wonder what their pet stories were?ReplyDelete
