The Rail-Trail Hall of Fame
In 2007, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy began recognizing exemplary rail-trails around the country as part of the Rail-Trail Hall of Fame.
Rails-to-Trails Conservancy selects inductees on merits such as scenic value, high use, trail and trailside amenities, historical significance, excellence in management and maintenance of facility, community connections and geographic distribution.
Hall of Fame rail-trails are awarded special signage along the trail, are featured as a Trail of the Month on Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's website and are highlighted in Rails to Trails magazine.
The five-year program runs through October 2011, when the 25th—and final—Rail-Trail Hall of Fame inductee will be selected to coincide with Rails-to-Trails Conservancy's 25th anniversary celebration.

'Full Plate Diet' Says Fiber Is the Secret to Weight Loss
Boosting intake of the nutrient is good for health. But to lose weight, cutting calories is key.
Slide Show: 10 Fiber-Friendly Food Swaps From The Full Plate Diet
There's a new diet book on the shelves, one that says boosting intake of a single nutrient can help you lose weight without counting calories. Even without knowing the details, it's tempting to dismiss such a plan as a fad diet that can't be maintained over the long haul...except that this book is written by three reputable health pros and developed by a nonprofit health group, which means it's at least worth a look.
The miracle nutrient at the center of The Full Plate Diet is fiber. If you think you've heard that before, you have. Many eating plans, including the F-Factor Diet and the Fiber35 Diet, are built on the notion that fiber has health benefits and adds bulk to your meals, permitting you to eat the same volume of food but take in fewer calories. "We hit on fiber because it helps people feel full and start to lose weight," says Teresa Sherard, one of the Full Plate authors and a staff physician at the Lifestyle Center of America, a nonprofit that focuses on fighting diabetes.
The diet calls for boosting fiber consumption to 40 grams a day from the 10 to 15 grams in the typical American diet. The plan has three stages. The first two involve boosting fiber consumption from whole foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, as well as drinking a lot of water and stopping eating when you're no longer hungry. Only in the third stage are dieters advised to reduce intake of meat and dairy products and "other foods that are high calorie, high fat, and low fiber."
What about the science? As for the high-fiber premise, consumption of the nutrient is indeed associated with improved health outcomes, including reduction of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, certain types of cancer, and some gastrointestinal diseases, Amy Jamieson-Petonic, director of wellness coaching at the Cleveland Clinic, says in an E-mail. (Notably, though, that a 2005 study that appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association did not find that dietary fiber intake protected against colorectal cancer.) Epidemiological studies have associated fiber consumption from whole-grain sources with lower body weight.
[Get the scoop: Fiber Sources: Soluble, Insoluble, and Beyond.]
Yet it's unclear whether the advice for the first two stages of the diet—focusing only on boosting fiber, without consciously cutting the consumption of less healthful or more caloric foods—can do the trick. "If you eat the fiber-rich foods first, it will fill you up" and naturally cut down on your portions of less beneficial foods, says Sherard. Eating, say, fruit when you're hungry, as opposed to a cookie, helps you lose the craving for the sweeter, more rich foods, she says—to the point where she says she now craves salads (!).
[See Can Americans Change Their Taste for the Sweet and Salty?]
But don't think that fiber is a miracle shortcut; simply sprinkling bran on top of a hot fudge sundae is not going to lead to health benefits or weight loss. The real key is to substitute high-fiber foods for the less healthful, and more caloric, items in your diet. That's where the advice presented in the diet's third stage—carefully reading labels to avoid certain ingredients and foods—comes in handy. (The book uses a "traffic light" rating system, much like Britain's voluntary food labeling system that some experts would like to see implemented in the United States.) It can also be very tough to, as the plan advises, "stop eating when you're no longer hungry." For most people, following that advice requires constant vigilance, given the variety of cheap sugar- and fat-spiked foods that surround us.
[Check out If Diets Don't Work, What's the Solution to Obesity in America? and Can Mindful Eating Help You Lose Weight?]
Any eating plan, including the Full Plate Diet, that recommends focusing on fruits, veggies, legumes, whole grains, and "good" fats like nuts and olive oil is certainly more healthful than the average American diet and may lead to weight loss, if the end result is fewer calories taken in. But it's important to remember the caloric bottom line and also not to overlook the authors' advice to get fiber from its natural, whole-food sources—not processed foods like drink mixes and energy bars that have been spiked with fiber.

Girl Scouts members attended the White House celebration of International Women's Day, March 8, 2011. On March 30, 2011, Laurie Westley shared her thoughts on the Office of National Drug Control Policy blog about establishing healthy living policies for girls. The ONDCP works to implement programs that aim to reduce illicit drug use in the US and Girl Scouts is thrilled to see that the office is thinking about what girls want from health- and drug-related policy. Girl Scouts research suggests that girls think being healthy includes both emotional and physical well-being. By understanding facts such as these, Girl Scouts believes that leaders can create policies and programs that will help empower girls to lead healthy and well balanced lives.

|Disease: Asian Rust
Your Soybean Checkoff.
Delivering Results.
North Dakota
South Dakota
|Producers, universities, industry and government have created a practical, applied defense to stop soybean rust from marching across North America... read Working Together Against Soybean Rust»
Asian soybean rust is a foliar disease caused by the fungus Phakopsora pachyrhizi. It is an aggressive disease capable of causing defoliation and significant yield loss. Asian soybean rust is found in most soybean growing areas of the world. It was found for the first time in North America in November 2004.
Key points to know about Asian soybean rust
|The USDA PIPE soybean rust website, sponsored by the United Soybean Board and the North Central Soybean Research Program, is the most reliable source of ongoing information on soybean rust. Check the rust maps frequently. Click on your state to read current advisories.
Spread of soybean rust and the disease cycle
Spores of the soybean rust pathogen are transported readily by air currents and can be carried hundreds of miles in a few days. Weather conditions will determine when and where the spores travel from south to north.
|Urediniospores of the soybean rust fungus are transported long distances by air currents.
Rust spores, called urediniospores, are able to penetrate the plant cells directly, rather than through natural openings or through wounds in the leaf tissue. Thus infection is relatively quick: about 9 to 10 days from initial infection to the next cycle of spore production.
Rust is a multi-cyclic disease. After the initial infection is established, the infection site can produce spores for 10 to 14 days. Abundant spore production occurs during wet leaf periods (in the form of rain or dew) of at least 8 hours and moderate temperatures of 60 to 80° F.
Soybean rust has a wide host range
Phakopsora pachyrhizi has a wide host range, which is unusual for a rust pathogen. A "host" is a plant on which the rust fungus can survive. At least 89 different plants can host the fungus. The common weed kudzu is the host of greatest concern because it is so widespread in the southern U.S. The full impact of soybean rust will probably first be known when the kudzu acreage is fully infected with Phakopsora pachyrhizi. Other common hosts are yellow sweet clover, vetch, lupine, green and kidney bean, lima bean, and butter bean.
The name Asian soybean rust is used to distinguish the soybean rust disease caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi from a mild form of soybean rust, Phakopsora meibomiae , which is endemic to the Caribbean region.

Twitter's Vine seems silly—but who cares?January 25, 2013: 3:41 PM ET
Only time will tell if people take to Vine, which limits videos to six seconds, the way they have taken to Instagram.
FORTUNE -- Twitter CEO Dick Costolo on Wednesday tweeted a Vine video (or just "a Vine" to use the correct parlance), the first fruit of last year's acquisition by the microblogging service of the microvideo app. The video is called "Steak Tartare in Six Seconds," and it depicts exactly that.
Six seconds is the limit on Vine videos -- just like the limit on tweets is 140 characters. What is the usefulness of watching a compressed depiction of someone preparing steak tartare? Absolutely none. Nor is there any entertainment value to it. It's not even vaguely interesting.
The silliness of the enterprise is obvious. Fake Jeff Jarvis, the Twitter persona mocking the real Jeff Jarvis (whose default is to always disparage "old media" and to herald new technologies as world-changing without applying much discernment) has been on a tear making fun of Vine (and Jarvis). "Within 100 years, I predict that Costolo's Vine will be a milestone just like Gutenberg's printing press," Fake Jeff tweeted. (The real Jarvis doesn't seem to have weighed in on Vine so far.)
MORE: 1 minute and 2 seconds of Ashton as Steve
But then, Twitter was thought to be pretty silly, too, when it started. And of course it still is in a lot of ways, though it's also proved to be highly useful in many applications: Follow the right people tweeting about the right subjects, and you will be much better-informed than you are now. On the other hand, the character limit has created a lot of annoyances, such as the people who get into Twitter arguments, overwhelming other people's feeds. And even worse, the overtweeters -- the people who tweet hundreds of times per day, perhaps not quite getting that this means they are imposing themselves on their followers. (Luckily, it's easy enough to unfollow and block such people.)
People will no doubt use Vine in annoying ways, too, just as they do with Instagram, the photo-sharing app that Vine is being compared to. It's hard to know whether Vine, like Twitter, will prove itself in ways that nobody can predict at this point. Likely, it will in some applications replace animated GIFs. But even if it doesn't end up having any real utility, that doesn't mean it won't be fun or popular. Hopefully, people will come up with better stuff than some guy making a meal.
The videos loop until you stop them, which makes them resemble GIFs. For now, it's available as an app only on the iOS platform, though an Android version is on the way. It can also be used on Facebook and, soon, other social-media platforms.

Jeremy Hooker has described his work as "a poetry of place" and this is certainly evident from his Archive recording. However, Hooker's work is never purely descriptive, tussling instead with issues of belonging and the relationship between man and his environment. This interaction is revealed as a complex network of mutual influence: the landscape of the downs seems timeless but the hillock the plover perches on is a burial mound ('Matrix'). Many poems focus on our desire to assign significance to our surroundings, to "lick it into shape" like the Mother bear her cubs in 'That trees are men walking'. From the pre-historic cave painter through to his boyhood self who "tastes words.../from which he will build a world" ('Strawberry Field') the key question seems to be "how to shape a life" ('Arnolds Wood'), but equally his poems ask how a life is shaped. Whilst all this suggests the importance of roots, there are also many images of fluidity and freedom, of water and flight. Connected to this is the haunting recognition that some essential element remains beyond grasping: like the curlew's cry which is "...mine/Not mine" perhaps it's never possible to be fully at home in the world.
These tensions give his poetry a taut resonance. However, whilst his language is finely chiselled, the poems don't conform to traditional structures; their patterns are like the flow of a waterfall "shaping the ways of change" ('That trees are men walking'). His voice, both controlled and fluid, captures this delicately poised music.
His recording was made for The Poetry Archive on 30 August 2005 at the poet's home in South Wales and was produced by Richard Carrington.

Whitbourne shooting trial - Malcolm White says that he thought he was "going to be robbed"
4:59pm Monday 2nd December 2013 in News
A FARMHOUSE owner who shot and injured a potential burglar at his home has told a court he was "terrified" during the attempted break-in and thought he was going to be robbed.
Malcolm White, aged 64, took to the stand at Worcester Crown Court for the first time today, where he denied intentially injuring Robert Richards when he and two others tried to break in to the house at Stocking Gobbetts, Whitbourne, on October 5, 2011.
He told the jury he had only meant to fire a warning shot to scare the men off after they had smashed the front window of the house.
"I thought I shot in the air but the accidental thing is he went and got shot. Sorry. Apparently, I hit him, but I didn't mean to," he said.
"I was intending just to frighten him off."
Cable ties which could be used to bind hands and feet were found at the scene, the jury have been told.
Prosecutor Simon Phillips told the court White had "fired first, before asking any questions" because he had known the burglars were after his stash of the Class B drug.
White denied this, and said he had "no idea" at the time what they were after, but suspected it could be his £35,000 leased Audi or his collection of valuable Grandfather clocks.
He did not think it was the cannabis, he said.
"There were three rooms and there was a significant investment required to set up these three rooms - you estimated to the police around £20,000," Mr Phillips said to White.
"This was quite a sophisticated set-up. Over a year, this cannabis could be worth between £50,000 to £60,000.
"This was you protecting your valuables."
White replied: "This was me protecting my loved ones, and my little dogs.
"I was terrified at the time.
"I don't know what you would say to someone who was smashing their way into your house."
He denied saying "I wish I had finished him off" after firing the shotgun, and denied that he had become "nervous" about becoming a target in the weeks leading up to the shooting.
He said some of the unlicensed firearms found in his home had belonged to his father, who died 18 years ago, and he had kept them due to his own interest in firearms.
He disagreed with the suggestion that he had kept loaded guns around his home for protection.
White denies one charge of unlawful wounding.
The trial continues.

Two down, one to go. That's all Big Brown needs to win the Triple Crown, culminating with this weekend's 140th running of the Belmont Stakes.
The 2-5 favorite won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes earlier this year to set himself up for the No. 1 position in Saturday's race. If Big Brown does in fact win, it will be thoroughbred racing's first Triple Crown winner in 30 years and only the 12th in history.
As with all potential Triple Crown opportunities, the days leading up to the race and the stories surrounding the favored horse lend the already prestigious event an added aura of excitement – and give us all a reason to waste a day drinking Belmont Breezes in preparation of a mere two-and-a-half minutes of actual racing.
Keeping pace with the rest of the professional sports world, horseracing is also making headlines for alleged steroid use, including by Big Brown.
Due to an injury – a wall separation in his front hooves – Big Brown missed 90 days of training prior to February, when he was then injected with the steroid Winstrol. According to a report in The New York Times, Winstrol is legal in 28 of the 38 states where horse races are held, including the Triple Crown races.
There are critics who say steroid use in horse racing is no different than its use by Olympic sprinters during training. But horse trainers contend steroids improve the horses' appetites and aid in muscle recovery after workouts.
Big Brown's trainer, Rick Dutrow, has repeatedly said that his horse did not receive any injections in the five weeks surrounding the three Triple Crown races and that his horse should be considered steroid-free.
I can already imagine the would-be-naysayers marking Big Brown's Triple Crown win – if it indeed happens – with an asterisk. Or saying that the win shouldn't count because of his 'roiding past. This is all wrong and we should hear none of it. Unless we see an extreme upward trend in Triple Crown winners in the next 30 years, horseracing should consider the benefits steroid use has on the sport. While I don't have a degree in veterinary medicine, I honestly believe that the steroids given to these horses are for training and health purposes. And that's the difference between horse 'roiding and Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire bulking up to superhuman proportions.
I can't help but not like Big Brown and his chances. Who doesn't? I think we would all like to see another 3-year-old horse crowned. And I like Big Brown's outspoken, party-ready trainer as well. Earlier this week Dutrow told the Times that he's "got the best horse in the race.
"He'll get me to the finish line. There's nothing left to beat. Wherever the wire is, he'll get me there."
Dutrow has even taunted the owner of 7-2 second choice Casino Drive, a Japanese-owned horse, by saying that Big Brown will be galloping into the winner's circle before Casino Drive hits the quarter pole. Even though Dutrow has been called a flake in racing circles, he brings a new type of trash-talking to the scene, and that's a nice change from the usual "We are just going to let her run" or "We will race our race" from most trainers.
Finally, we have a little excitement in the stables.
Even though Telluride doesn't have OTB anywhere in sight, you better believe my money will be on Big Brown. I like the confidence of the trainer, and the unimpressive times turned in by Casino Drive earlier this week are nothing to fret about. Yes, it will be Big Brown in the winner's circle wearing the traditional blanket of carnations (of more than 300 flowers).
Oh yeah, if you are looking to get into the spirit of the Belmont Stakes, which is the oldest race in the Triple Crown and the most fashionably casual (ladies, no need to wear that ridiculous hat), here is the recipe for its traditional drink, the Belmont Breeze.
The Belmont Breeze
1.5 oz. Jack Daniels
.75 oz. Harveys Bristol Cream Sherry
.75 oz. Fresh Lemon Juice
.75 oz. Simple Syrup
1.5 oz. Fresh Orange juice
1.5 oz. Cranberry juice
Shake ingredients with ice and top with half 7UP and half soda water, approximately one ounce of each. Garnish with fresh strawberry, mint sprig and a lemon wedge.

With the holidays in full swing, chances are you're looking forward to some time off at the end of this month. And thanks to Netflix, you don't have to leave the house and fraternize with your hometown frenemies.

After scattering her mother's ashes in Vietnam, photojournalist Xandra Carrick comes home to New York to rebuild her life and career. When she experiences, in her darkroom, supernatural visions that reveal atrocities perpetrated by American soldiers during the Vietnam War, she finds herself entangled in a forty-year-old conspiracy that could bring the nation into political turmoil.
Launching headlong into a quest to learn the truth from her father, Peter Carrick, a Pulitzer Prize laureate who served as an embedded photographer during the war, she confronts him about a dark secret he has kept—a secret that has devastated their family.
Her investigations lead her to her departed mother's journal, which tells of love, spiritual awakening, and surviving the fall of Saigon.
Pursued across the continent, Xandra comes face-to-face with powerful forces that will stop at nothing to prevent her from revealing the truth. But not before government agencies arrest her for murder, domestic terrorism, and an assassination attempt on the newly elected president of the United States.
Darkroom is a riveting tale of suspense that tears the cover off the human struggle for truth in a world imprisoned by lies.

Thankfully, no one's around this time of night. And with her limbs properly weighed down, she'll stay under until … Bugger! Only three bags in the trunk. I shall have to improvise.
Right. Everything is ready. I cross myself and pull her ever-stiffening body from the trunk. She's slight—just shy of... see more

Binh Son, Vietnam: January 7, 1973
I always knew the war would come to the South. Before the Communists sent the Vietcong back down the Ho Chi Minh trail, before the Spring Festival attacks during T?t Nguyên Ðán, I knew. I had seen it all in my dreams. I even foresaw my parents' deaths, which left me and my brother orphans, forcing us to flee to the village of my aunt and uncle.
Some of the boys in Bình Son, on this side of the Mekong Delta, had expressed interest in joining the Vietcong, my brother included. Everyone else... see more

They could be regarded as the last of their type, however, for previous structures of that era have been lost to time and neglect. Oxford City Council members are considering saving what's left by establishing a historical commission.
"I think we realize that even though we have the big economic impact areas of our city, this is really the heart of the city," said Councilwoman Charlotte Hubbard.
Oxford is not the only local municipality debating the preservation of historic structures.
Jacksonville considered establishing a historic commission in September, but three council members voted against it, saying while they support historical preservation the commission would have too much authority. Some also said wording of the resolution conflicted with state law.
In Anniston, a resolution to create two historic districts was approved Oct. 17 by the Anniston Historical Preservation Commission, said John Valieant, commission chairman. The City Council has final say-so, and could vote on the matter in the coming months, he said.
If the districts are created, those who own property within them would have to check with the commission before making changes to the outsides of their structures.
Out of sight, out of mind
Oxford's dilemma is a common one, Hubbard explained. What was once a gathering place and shopping destination for the community fell away as shopping malls and retail outlets sprouted up elsewhere.
The Oxford Exchange shopping center has plenty to offer residents, Hubbard said, "But there's no character there. There are just times when you want to come home, and that's what this area is."
An old theater on Main Street was torn down years ago. It was too badly deteriorated to save, Hubbard said. Historic homes in other areas of downtown suffered similar fates, she said.
Shortly after taking office in 2012, current members of the Oxford City Council were asked to list projects important to them. High on everyone's list was the restoration of historic downtown, Hubbard said. She was asked to head the council's efforts on the project.
Hubbard owns a downtown business, Hubbard Antiques on Choccolocco Street. The foundation of that building dates back to the Civil War era, though the structure atop it burned during the war and was rebuilt in the late 1800's.
Hubbard is also opening a restaurant a few doors down from her shop, in what was once Mr. Robinson's Cash Store, where children would stop on the way home from school to buy candy bars and sodas, she said.
Hubbard said that as a business owner she does have a personal interest in the revitalization of downtown, but said she would have worked to preserve the history of the place regardless.
An important step
As part of the restoration project, council members have discussed pouring new sidewalks and updating lighting throughout downtown. The city could pay for the work with money from the general fund or through grants, Hubbard said, but more grants are available to nonprofit historic commissions.
Lena Gutierrez, owner of the custom clothing embroidery shop Ruby Jean's, said her business, which opened in March, stands to benefit from work done to save historic downtown Oxford and draw new businesses. Increased foot traffic downtown equates to better profits, she explained.
Gutierrez does not own her Main Street building, but the former First National Bank's original walk-in safe still occupies one corner of her shop. The safe's brass combination lock dial is engraved with the date Aug. 24, 1869.
"All the older people that come in say this is where Oxford used to keep all their money," Gutierrez.
Other portions of the state have long been involved in historic preservation, said David Schneider, who works as a consultant on historic preservation projects.
"For whatever reason we've been a little slow in these parts to get on the bandwagon," Schneider said.
Identifying and designating properties as historic is critical to saving them, Schneider explained.
Anniston's Historic Preservation Commission has been around for many years, but only a small percentage of endangered structures have been designated as historic, Schneider.
"If you don't have a commission to even study it, it's hard to know what you should do," he said.
A move by Oxford to establish a commission would be a step in the right direction to save the city's historic structures, Schneider said.
"There's still a lot left. It would be a good thing," he said.

City Council Declines to Vote on Sex Shop Ordinance, Sends Issue to CommitteeGRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The Grand Forks City Council chose not to vote Monday night on an ordinance drafted a few weeks ago that would have prevented the adult store Fantasys from opening on North Washington Street, about one block from an elementary school.
GRAND FORKS (WDAZ-TV) - The Grand Forks City Council chose not to vote Monday night on an ordinance drafted a few weeks ago that would have prevented the adult store Fantasys from opening on North Washington Street, about one block from an elementary school.
Instead the council will put the matter through committee meetings, something it usually does before voting on new ordinances, but never did with this one.
After over an hour of debate and comments from the public, the City Council decided with a five to two vote that the ordinance needs more deliberation.
Council ember Curt Kreun made the motion to suspend the vote and move it back to committee.
"I think we have to vet those issues at this point in time to get back to us the system that we've put in place ourselves to vet these issues on both sides," Kreun said.
City council president Hal Gershman says the store's location near Winship Elementary is the biggest issue, citing the school's already declining enrollment.
"This situation could harm that initiative and that's very important to the people in the audience to have a neighborhood school. We made a very big committment in this city, the school district did to maintain our neighborhood schools," Gershman said.
Fantasy's store owner Kim Patterson says she has followed all city laws but yet still hasn't been issued a building permit.
"Currently I fit into all the zoning requirements. We have a daycare close to where we are at, there's a grade school not that far from where we're at in Fargo. Not once have we had a problem," Patterson said.
But an ordinance drafted by city attorney Howard Swanson seeks to license sexually-oriented businesses like Fantasy's. It would prohibit those stores from opening 500 feet from any school, residence, public park or church.
Patterson's lawyer calls that ordinance a violation of the Constitution and North Dakota state law. He says Monday night's decision by the council is a step in the right direction.
"We look forward to the opportunity to make our further presentation before that committee if they see the facts and the law as we believe they exist. This ordinance shouldn't exist," lawyer Jonathan Garaas said.
The ordinance will be discussed at the finance development committee next week.

The nanoscale structures on a gecko's foot enable it to cling to most surfaces. This scanning electron microscope image shows multiwalled carbon nanotubes attached to a polymer backing, an experiment designed to replicate the gecko foot's adhesive properties. The gecko's amazing ability to cling to vertical or inverted surfaces is due to the interaction between nanoscale structures on its feet and tiny crevices on the wall or ceiling. The soles of gecko feet are made up of overlapping adhesive lamellae covered with millions of superfine hairs, or setae, each of which branches out at the end into hundreds of spatula-shaped structures. These flexible pads—each measuring only a few nanometers across—curve to fit inside unseen cracks and divots on the surface. The combined adhesion of these millions of pads holds the gecko in place.

I'm ticked off at our head pastor who has been cheating on his pretty wife and three kids.
I'm ticked off that I pay thousands of dollars for numerous employee classes and equipment to follow state guidelines to work on our roadways, yet panhandlers and business squawkers with signs stand in the median with dark clothes, no reflective vests, no caution person panhandling signs or cones to do lane closures into businesses.
I'm really ticked off at the person that took my beloved backpack that I've had for nine years from the airport on Nov. 20. Can you at least take $10 from the free $200 you just acquired (courtesy of me!) and send the backpack and the SIM card from my 5 day old camera (again courtesy of me) back to the airport's lost and found? You've stolen my vacation memories and broken my heart! How do you sleep at night?
I'm ticked off at a cable company. I told them I was going to be home at 5:30, but the cable guy came at 5 and left without a note. There are other cable companies out there that will listen to the customer, but maybe like all the rest, we're screwed.

I'm ticked off because so many people with dogs do not pick up after them, littering sidewalks with bacterial germs. I walk every morning and it is not pleasant to see dog poop here and there.

I want to send a big thank you to a wonderful woman who watched over our house while we were up north for the summer. We really appreciate her kindness!

One of the best things about my current job is that I meet interesting and exciting new people on a regular basis. One such new friend is Farah Pandith.
I met Farah in one of those hop-skip-jump ways only possible in today's world. About a month ago, I received a tweet about a couple of cyber-diplomats named Alec and Jared who are plowing new ground in the State Department. I Googled them and pulled off the net a New York Times Magazine piece that discussed their work. Intrigued, I emailed them. A Facebook-like maneuver ensued in which we compared notes about people we know who might be of interest to each other. The guys introduced me to Farah, and she and I are now working on dates when she can come to New Zealand.

Sweet-toned, svelte, refreshing. Honey, lemon, lilac, a hint of roasted cocoa nib in aroma and, more intensely, in the cup. Tartly sweet, lively acidity; velvety, buoyant mouthfeel. Fades just a bit in the long finish, but the short is resonant and flavor-saturated.
Pure, powerful, sweetly bright. Chocolate, honey, orange zest, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Richly and roundly tart acidity; full, syrupy mouthfeel. The finish is tart, resonant and flavor-saturated.
Deep, opulent, savory-sweet. Crisp roasted nut, minty dark chocolate, hints of butter and sage-like herb in aroma and cup. Rich, deeply expressed acidity; syrupy mouthfeel. Long, resonant finish.
Sweet, pungent, complex. Night-blooming flowers, a sweetness half way between honey and molasses, fresh-cut cedar, grapefruity citrus in aroma and cup. Lively, bright, though balanced acidity; delicate, buoyant mouthfeel. Rich, grapefruity tartness carries into a long, resonant finish.
Sweet, brisk, zesty. Honey, citrus zest, roasted cocoa nib, honeysuckle in aroma and cup. Crisp, roundly tart acidity; smooth, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Clean, delicately chocolate-toned finish.
Intense; richly and crisply bittersweet. Almond, dark chocolate, honey, a hint of flowers and a distinctive tart berry note suggesting, perhaps, acai. Crisp, gently juicy acidity; light, silky mouthfeel. The chocolate note in particular resonates in a long, deep finish.
Gentle, balanced, quietly complex. Honey, dark chocolate, pungent fir, orange zest in aroma and cup. Delicate, lively acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Sweet, lightly flavor-saturated finish.
Crisply sweet, delicate. Caramel, honey, orange zest, a hint of eucalyptus in aroma and cup. Gently tart acidity; light but buoyant mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates but persists in a roundly sweet-toned finish.
Crisp, richly honey-toned. Honey, prairie flowers, almond, fresh-cut fir in aroma and cup. Gently brisk, delicate acidity; lightly syrupy mouthfeel. Rich, balanced, mildly drying finish.
Round, rich, crisply sweet. Minty dark chocolate, night-blooming flowers, fresh-cut cedar, almond in aroma and cup. Gentle acidity; lightly syrupy, lively mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates in a rich though rather drying finish.

Disappointed Again!
By Lisa
from Burnaby
So I have ordered this skirt for the second time and once again in the back the pattern is not lined up. I was hopeful that by ordering it again I would hopefully get one that did not have the same problem. But I am guessing I received the same one. I love this skirt and am very disappointed that I can't keep it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

I was so excited when this skirt went on sale because I have had my eye on it for sometime now. I just received it yesterday and am so dissapointed. The skirt is beautiful from the front but the seam does not line up in the back so the pattern is mismatched and is very obvious. The one shown in the picture online does not have this problem. I may try ordering another one but have not decided if I want the hassle of that yet in case it is the same and I have to pay shipping twice. Too bad though because it is a lovely skirt.

Companies are spending more this year on recruiting but are focusing their dollars on more high-tech methods than in the past, a new report suggests. Additionally, more companies are hiring their own full-time recruiters or temporary contract recruiters to cut down on the costs of outside recruiting agencies, the report from Bersin & Associates, a human resources consulting firm, found.
"There are shifts in how companies are allocating their money," said Karen O'Leonard, an analyst and author of the Bersin study. "In the long-term, the shifts will save companies money."
The report, The Talent Acquisition Factbook 2011, is based on surveys of 414 companies ranging from small to large businesses, conducted in June and July of 2011. Respondents were chosen from Bersin's and LinkedIn's databases.
Job boards and internal candidates were the biggest sources of filled open positions, accounting for about 38% of all hires. Third party recruiting agencies accounted for just 9% of filled positions, but consumed about one-third of recruiting budgets, the reports said. The cost of using an agency averaged about 21% of a new hire's first-year salary, the report said.
While job boards and outside recruiting agencies were still among the most popular methods of recruiting, some companies are shifting their spending into more high-tech strategies. One company cited in the report, Colorado-based engineering and construction firm CH2M HILL, shifted half of its recruiting budget away from job boards to professional networking sites like LinkedIn and Viadeo, and social media tools like Facebook, a company spokesperson said.
Some companies are also exploring newer software-based approaches to recruiting. Many companies use what are known as Applicant Tracking Systems. These software programs collect and collate all of the personal and professional information a job candidate submits online, and then ranks each candidate according to how well they match up to a given job description.
But candidates who are passed over for a given job essentially disappear from the system, even if they might be a good candidate for a future job opening, said Katherine Jones, director of research and human capital management at Bersin. "It's an Industrial Revolution-age concept," she said.
As an alternative, more companies are using Candidate Relationship Management software like LinkedIn's Recruiter tool or Avature's CRM Web 2.0, which allows companies to track and communicate with candidates who may or may not have applied for a job with the company. In this way, companies can develop a talent pipeline for a position before it even opens. This kind of software allows companies to keep candidates on the "backburner until something comes up and then they can start pursuing them aggressively," Jones said.

Dal, Kamla's Dal
A favorite everyday dal. Kamla allowed me to follow her in the kitchen one summer and I now have several Indian recipes to enjoy. Yum! I love cooking in bulk and freezing in individual servings. This is spicy hot for my tastes . . . please cut the chili pepper in half or even a third if you prefer less heat.
Potato (Red Potato) Salad
A light and zesty potato salad. Make even lighter and more nutritious by adding additional veggies like radishes, celery, sweet bell peppers, cauliflower, etc (not included in the nutritional data)

A light and tasty side dish with a spicy Indian flare! Caution: don't hesitate to cut the peppers in half to be more to your liking. I make this large batch so I can freeze and enjoy later.

Mercurial 0.9.5: New Features, More Performance
Version 0.9.5 of Mercurial, a distributed version control system has just been released. The new version improves performance, adds new features and fixes bugs.
According to the developers, Mercurial 0.9.5 can handle large directories faster than its predecessor, and the GPL'd software also handles large file better than before. The new version includes various bugfixes, such as one in its support of the VFAT filesystem on Linux, and for resolving paths in the Mercurial command line program Hg.
New: the "hg archive" action can now handle symbolic links, even if the operating system itself does not support symlinks. The "hg manifest -v" command now displays an additional field in the file list with information on the file type. The "*" symbol indicates an executable file, whereas links are tagged with an "@". The Hgweb web front-end now supports the Atom syndication format.
The Mercurial Wiki provides an overview of the changes. The Python source code for Mercurial 0.95 is available for downloading here.

Hi guys,
My girlfriends iphone originally came from the states & over there i think it was locked to AT&T.
It has been jailbroken & unlocked so it can be used here in Australia.
3G version 4.0.1 with firmware 5.13.04.
Everything it does is painfully slow.
I have iphone 4 with version4.0.1 whit firmware 01.59.00, jailbroken & i love it, runs like it has i9 cpu with 8g of ram with the fastest internet connection.
The 3G is like it has the first modle cpu 258m of ram & dial up internet connection.
The difference is so unbelievable that it's not funny any more.
Not sure what to do, have been reading the post on & off for the last week, haven't found too much that relates specifically to this problem.
Don't want to bugger her phone on her so i'm asking for some expert help.
Thanks greatly.

"Lausanne is a block of picturesque houses, spilling over two or three gorges, which spread from the same central knot, and are crowned by a cathedral like a tiara. On the esplanade of the church … I saw the lake over the roofs, the mountains over the lake, clouds over the mountains, and stars over the clouds." Such was Victor Hugo's impression of this grand and graceful tiered city. Voltaire, Rousseau, Byron, and Cocteau all waxed equally passionate about Lausanne—and not only for its visual beauty. It has been a cultural center for centuries, the world drawn first to its magnificent Gothic cathedral and the powers it represented, then to its university, and during the 18th and 19th centuries to its vibrant intellectual and social life. Today the Swiss consider Lausanne a most desirable city in which to live.
Rising in tiers from the lakeside at Ouchy, Lausanne covers three hills that are separated by gorges that once channeled rivers. The rivers have been built over, and huge bridges span the gaps across the hilltops. On one hill in particular, modern skyscrapers contrast brutally with the beautiful proportions of the cathedral rising majestically from its crest. Atmospheric alleys and narrow streets have mostly been demolished, yet the Old Town clustered around the cathedral has been painstakingly restored.
Below the Old Town spreads the commercial city center, and in the bottom of the hollow between Avenue Jules Gonin and Rue de Genève is the Flon, a neighborhood with plenty of nightspots. Still farther south, along the lake, is the separate township of Ouchy, an animated resort area dominated by the Château d'Ouchy, with a tower dating from the Middle Ages.

A Snapshot is a copy made of your Volume at a specific moment in time. It contains the full directory structure of the Volume. Snapshots can be used as incremental backups of your Volumes, as restore points for your data, as long-term storage for your data, or as starting points for new Cloud Block Storage (CBS) Volumes. Snapshots are stored in Rackspace Cloud Files.
Snapshots only take up as much storage space as the data that fills them. So if you have a 1 TB Volume, but only 500 GB of data on it, your Snapshot will only be 500 GB. However, when you create new Volumes from a Snapshot, the new Volume must be the same size as the original Volume from which you made the Snapshot. The new Volume must also be in the same region. It can, however, have a different type.
On this Page:
Or, click here for additional information on allowing snapshots without detaching the volumes.
It is a good idea to detach your Volume from your Server before you take a Snapshot. This is the safest method to prevent your Server from writing information while you are backing it up. That could get your data out of sync and could create a problem. To detach your Volume, see the instructions on "Detatch and Delete Volumes". You can always re-attach the Volume by following the "Attach Volume to a Server" Steps on the Create/Attach Volume page.
More advanced users may sync the filesystem in order ensure the integrity of the data on your snapshots. Performing a sync will flush file system buffers and write the data out to disk. If you are unfamiliar with how to sync your filesystem, consider detaching your volume prior to snapshotting.
There are two ways to create a Snapshot - either from the Actions button or from the Storage Snapshots screen.
From the Actions button:
Note: The data in the Snapshot is instant at the point in time starting when you click the "Create Snapshot" button. While the "Creating" status shows, the Snapshot already exists at the point in time of the submitted request. During the "Creating" status, the Snapshot is compressed, deduped, and transferred to Cloud Files storage, where it is backed up in triplicate.
From the Storage Snapshots screen:
The note above after the Actions Button procedure also applies to the Storage Snapshots screen procedure.
The Volume you create from a Snapshot must be the same size and in the same region as the original Volume. However, you may choose a different type.
The larger your Volume, the longer it may take to create.

RENO — When the Sutter Mill's meteorite streaked across the Nevada sky in April, it made a loud boom and shook homes throughout the region. Ken Smith, associate director for the Nevada Seismological Laboratory at the University of Nevada, Reno heard it and felt it that Sunday morning. His scientific curiosity drew him right to the lab's earthquake monitoring network to see what registered on the more than 150 reporting stations. He found an astonishing series of registrations.
"I knew it wasn't an earthquake, it sounded and felt like an explosion," he said this week, reflecting on his participation as co-author in an article just published in the prestigious journal Science. "All along the western part of the state, the network had lit up. Recording stations in Mammoth Lakes, Calif., and Pyramid Lake and Walker Lake here in Nevada, picked it up, but I used our recording stations around the Tahoe Basin, Sierra Valley and some other California recording stations to track its trajectory.
The low angle and relatively slow speed of the pieces of the 100,000-year-old, 40-ton asteroid as it broke up 30 miles above the ground made it easy for the network to record its path from about 60 miles east of Reno to its impact in El Dorado County, Calif., about 85 miles to the southwest of Reno. It took the sonic waves from the meteorite about four minutes to reach the ground traveling at about 10 feet per second. A seismic wave from an earthquake travels about four miles per second.
"They mostly used radar in California to confirm the estimates of elevation for the fragments; we had the best estimates of the altitude of the explosion, which was the greatest altitude of a meteorite explosion ever recorded," Smith said. "The energy of the fireball was about four kilotons of TNT as the piece of asteroid blew from about two to four meters in size to small fragments. Most of it vaporized."
The Nevada Seismological Laboratory is a research and public service division within the University of Nevada, Reno's College of Science.
