Editor's study — From the March 1893 issue
Discussed in this essay:
The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History, by Elizabeth Kolbert. Henry Holt. 352 pages. $28.
The extinction symbol is a spare graphic that began to appear on London walls and sidewalks a couple of years ago. It has since become popular enough as an emblem of protest that people display it at environmental rallies. Others tattoo it on their arms. The symbol consists of two triangles inscribed within a circle, like so:
"The triangles represent an hourglass; the circle represents Earth; the symbol as a whole represents, according to a popular Twitter feed devoted to its dissemination (@extinctsymbol, 19.2K followers), "the rapidly accelerating collapse of global biodiversity" — what scientists refer to alternately as the Holocene extinction, the Anthropocene extinction, and (with somewhat more circumspection) the sixth mass extinction.
Ratio of husbands who say they fell in love with their spouse at first sight to wives who say this:
Just Married, Andrew McMeel Publishing (Kansas City, Mo.)
Mathematicians announced the discovery of the perfect method of cutting a cake.
Alberta dentist Michael Zuk, the owner of a molar that belonged to John Lennon, revealed that he hoped to clone a new Lennon and raise him as a son. "Hopefully keep him away from drugs," said Zuk, "but, you know, guitar lessons wouldn't hurt."

Where did you find the night-vision goggles ? Were they the ones included with the Modern Warfare game ?
Put me down for this game just like the one on the 17th please. As a skater, but also as a back up for goalie.

Richard III at
This show has now closed
Cheap Richard III tickets at the Apollo Theatre
The Show
Monstrous but theatrically electric, Richard is Shakespeare's most charismatic, self-delighting villain, revelling at every moment in his homicidal, hypocritical journey to absolute power. This all-male Original Practices production utilises styles of clothing, music, dance and settings authentic to the time of the play's original performance, 1593.
Mark Rylance plays Richard III. His most recent stage appearance was as Johnny 'Rooster' Byron in the highly acclaimed play Jerusalem, for which he won both the Olivier and Tony Awards for Best Actor.
This season, Rylance will also appear as Olivia in Twelfth Night.
The Story
Richard, Duke of Gloucester, is determined that he should wear the crown of England.
He has already despatched one king and that king's son. Now all that stands in his way are two credulous brothers and two helpless nephews - the Princes in the Tower. Whether it's the women he wrongs or the henchmen he betrays , woe betide who dare to raise their voices against him.

Pause + Drifting + Sparks
The music stopped and I didn't notice. I was too deep in thought or actually it was the opposite. I was not thinking at all, my brain felt like it had been pulled apart into one thousand different particles of matter and they were trying to put themselves back together.
I had been listening to a mix of classical modernist piano conciertos, Apparat, Broadcast, Otis Redding and a mixed bag of completely unclassifiable tunes that seemed neither here nor there.
Typing, typing, typing and never looking up or stopping and I actually had no idea what I had just written and in a way that was kinda scary so I paused and took a break. Walking outside the breeze hit me hard and the spring that had been in Berlin just the week before felt like such a tease, but I did not mind the cold and my wool stalkings kept me warm. Through the gate openings in the courtyard out back I looked into the solemn, almost silent graveyard. That graveyard is so old. Matas told me it was the oldest in Berlin. I have seen that graveyard in every season now, but my favorite season to look out into it was the fall because the trees still had leaves and they were orange and yellow and light green and the act of the ritual shedding of leaves seemed fitting in the setting.
I was getting cold so I lazily walked back inside and felt the warmth flush my cheeks red when I opened the door. Body heat, lingering coffee smells, beats blasting from headphones, fingers typing, everyone silent staring at little computers on little desks. Focus. So much focus. So much energy in silent movements. So much activity. Sparks.
I listened to Jean-Yves Thibaudet play Satie and typed away again. The light outside was fading and the clouds stretched across the sky and the evening was grey like the whole day had been. I dove into the words and swam around in them and there I stayed for a while until the night called me home.

Bruce Jenner's contributions to the Kardashian family may not be fully valued by mama Kris, but Esquire magazine is showing the reality dad some major love! The patriarch of television's most famous celebrity family has been named "Father of the Year" by the mag.
Just a day after the premiere of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" in which the celebrity dad pulled a two day disappearing act without being missed by his wife, he earned the title as top dad through his maintenance of some general normalcy in the land of the crazy Kardashians.
Long before he became famous as the father of the famous family, Bruce earned the title as one of the greatest athletes of his generation. He won the hearts of the entire nation when he won the gold medal for the decathlon in the 1976 Montreal Olympics. That's a fact that seems long forgotten by his wife Kris and their cluster of children -- Kourtney, Kim, Khloe, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie. Thankfully, Esquire remembered his contribution and even paid tribute to his ongoing attempts to remain kinda normal in the midst of reality cameras.
It is the little things that earned Jenner the title of father of the year not the reality stuff. He's the guy that drove car pool until his little girl got his driver's license. The guy that gets his girls a science tutor when they can't keep up with school due to their professional obligations. He's the one who sweats the small stuff rather than worry about the big antics. He even reportedly didn't realize that his family had signed on for another three years of reality bliss for a hefty $40 million payday.
Here are some other celebrities who can keep Bruce company as the best dads in Hollywood:
Clint Eastwood: If you caught the season premiere of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", you probably caught a glimpse of the newest reality fare on E! "Mrs. Eastwood & Company" featuring Dina Ruiz Eastwood, her daughter, and her step-daughter. Missing from the debut was the behind the scenes patriarch Clint Eastwood who is apparently leaving the reality moments to his wife and kids. By staying off camera, the star gets to keep his tough guy image and skip the emasculation that Bruce Jenner has endured. That decision alone puts him on our list of top celebrity dads in Hollywood!
Brad Pitt: He's been established as one of the hottest guys in Hollywood for years, now he has firmly entrenched himself as one of the hottest celebrity dads. With his globe trotting band of tots - Maddox, Zahara, Pax, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne - Brad has his hands full with his daddy duties. Thankfully, he still dabbles in the acting field with a steady flow of films every year or so.
David Beckham: On the soccer field, he's a major superstar. Off-field he's just daddy to sons -- Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz -- and daughter Harper. All you have to do is check out his Facebook page to see that this is one proud papa!

Today in History – August 2, 1873 – the world's first cable-powered railroad in San Francisco is tested. The inventor of the cable car was Andrew S. Hallidie (center image above) and contracted by the Clay Street Hill Railroad Company in San Francisco. Hallidie's system used a continuous looped wire rope that was placed in a tube below the surface of the ground. A motor kept the rope in continuous motion (first image below) and the rope was grasped and released by a griping device on the passenger car and controlled by the "driver". Bells were used to warn other cars and pedestrians that a cable car was on its way. A code was developed so that the bell could be used to communicate between cable car drivers as well.
Legend has it that Hallidie's inspiration for the cable car came in 1869 after witnessing horses being whipped while they struggled on the wet cobblestones to pull a horsecar up Jackson Street. When a horse slipped, it was sometimes dragged to its death.
Hallidie's design was described in the Scientific American Supplement, September 17, 1881 with the title: The Wire Rope Street Railways of San Francisco, California. Hallidie describes how his cable car system operates and the various San Francisco companies (at that time) that had successfully adapted the cable car for their street railway company.
Andrew Smith Hallidie tested the first cable car at 4 o'clock in the morning, August 2nd, 1873, on Clay Street, in San Francisco. For more information, see the San Francisco Cable Car Museum and find out more about how cable cars work, their history and where they operate today. Or check out the Engineering Pathway's educational resources on cable cars and mass transportation systems.
Cable cars are a great example of the application of simple machines and mechanical advantage. For more information see the Engineering Pathway's curricular resources and the Mechanical Engineering Education disciplinary community.

Towards the end of my relationship with shannon, things really weren't good, I tried to fix it, but it was too little too late. I found that we became more and more distant, and it was like I didn't know her anymore, like she wasn't herself. at around this time, I began to develop feelings for someone else. That was actually My step mother Ann. I can't say why, it just seemed to happen. At first I felt totally weird and confused about it, and gradually I came to accept it for what it was. It was just a fantasy, one that I enjoyed a lot, but never became a reality. don't know if I should be grateful or not. throughout my twenties I spent a lot of time moving around dublin. at the age of 25 I ended up back in rathdowney for a few months. My parents harased me into signing up for college even though i knew nothing good would come of it. I started to notice that I didn't hear my voice in my head anymore, my inner voice had been overlayed with someone elses voice, it sounded high pitched and it really pissed me off. I told my father about this one day while we were walking the dogs. then one day it just happened all these voices came into my head and even though i could think every couple of words of my stream of thought was in the voice of a different person, it was like there were loads of people speaking what I was thinking, it was totally fucked up and I hated it. The next five years were like a descent into hell. I moved to carlow to start a course in computer games development as was my dream. but the voices got really bad, they were saying "we eat you" constantly I was scared and didn't know what was going on. I know my housemates didn't like me, can't really blame them. I didn't feel well at all, I would often dry retch in the mornings on my way to college. I had managed to get a loan and bought a motorbike, which i loved. my motorbike was awesome and I really liked driving around on it. after six months I got kicked out of the house. so I drove to dublin and I tried to get help from my family but they all insisted that I go into the mental health unit. I did for about a week, and then I signed myself out and left, I stayed in hostels i had about a thousand euro from my college grant. I had some very horrible experiences, the voices became so loud that I couldn't hear anything even on an empty street i could hear them as though they were standing only a few feet away shouting at me. eventually I managed to get a flat on south circular road. it was tiny and it wasn't very nice. I stayed there for about a year, shannon would come visit sometimes but it was not very nice because i could hear her voice in my head saying that she'd been fucking her friend and it was pretty horrible. My lung collapsed while I was living there and I nearly died, so I managed to call an ambulance and then I was taken to hospital where i was plugged into some kindof machine that sucked the air out of my lung. it was pretty fucking horrible. but i didn't stop smoking. after I was released it collapsed again and then i had surgery to get my lung glued to my chest cavity wall. eventually i was released and at the time i was being kindof harrased by the police, they would stop me every week or thereabouts and start asking me questions, i ended up in cells a few times for no reason other than not wanting to tell them anything. anyway the voices had gotten extremely loud, even earphones with max volume couldn't overpower the voices, I was barely able to think at all, because they were screaming so loudly. my parents had gone on holiday and i had been given the keys to our house in dublin to take care of it while they were away. I stayed there while they were gone because I hated my bed in my flat. it was a futon and it was a metal frame, one of the bars had fallen out and it was almost impossible to sleep on it because it was so uncomfortable. While I was staying in my parents house, the voices had been really bad and they kept saying "kill yourself michael" and "I hope you kill yourself michael" so I nearly did. I went into the kitchen and grabbed the scissors, but I couldnt do it. so I rang my sister and she came and took me to the hospital where i was admitted as a mental health patient and treated for schizophrenia. the first drug they put me on didn't really help and i was so dissapointed. the second one did work though and after a while, I noticed that they didn't sound as loud, they continued to get quieter for a while. That was the last time I was admitted to hospital. before I had been admitted I had bumped into an old friend who I had known a long time, she introduced me to one of her friends. they came to visit me while I was in hospital, and I was a bit surprised that anyone would even bother. When I was able I left hospital and moved out, I moved back to the north side of dublin and stayed there for a while I started a course in roslyn, which was the same one that i never finished the first time. I ended up living with my sister and her boyfriend after a while because it was very close to the college, but we eventually fell out and I moved in with ann. I really liked living with ann because i had been pretty obsessed with her, and she was nice to me most of the time. her and my father weren't living together and they didn't really see each other that often. I managed to finish my course. and I became good friends with carol and rachel the girls who visited me in hospital. Ann was getting ready to retire and sell her house so I moved out and got a flat nearby. I liked my flat it was quite cool, I had been in a motorbike accident before my lung collapsed and my bike had been totaled but i got some compensation because it was the other drivers fault. so I somehow managed to waste all that money, don't ask me how but i have very little to show for it. eventually my money ran out, and I could no longer survive on social welfare because every week i was scrapping the bottom of the barrel just to buy cigarettes my landlord refused to lower the rent and my friends had left the country, rachel and her boyfriend went to korea. and carol went to england. so i was alone again except for my fucked up family. and then I moved in with my dad so I could save some money. I have been here for about eight months and it was going quite well until recently even though i saved nothing. I recently came off my medication, not for any particular reason just to see. and a lot of memories have come back. My thoughts are not as slow as they were on medication. As soon as I came off I started noticing weird stuff. but I'll leave that for another chapter.

There are alot of guides out there for downgrading your iphone from 1.1.1 back to 1.0.2 and unbricking it to the point of saying invalid sim. This is where this tutorial will pick up.
1. Put ICE03.14.08_G.eep and ICE03.14.08_G.fls into /usr/bin/
2. Download the Secpack of baseband firmware 4.0 (Can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/2dyq25 - you will need to rename this to secpack)
3. Download ieraser2 from http://www.fink.org/ieraser/ or from Geohot's blog.
4. copy over ieraser2 and the renamed secpack into /usr/bin/
5. SSH into the phone (user: root pass: dottie) and stop the CommCenter by typing
launchctl remove com.apple.CommCenter
6. run "bbupdater -v"
7. type "cd /usr/bin/" and then "chmod +x ieraser"
8. run ieraser (just type ieraser) this will WIPE your baseband, given a file "secpack" is in the same directory and this is a version 4 secpack.
9. run " bbupdater -v " again. it will not find any firmware now.
10. run " bbupdater -e ICE03.14.08_G.eep -f ICE03.14.08_G.fls "
11. run " bbupdater -v " it will tell you you run version 3.14
12. from here use any of your favorite programs like ibrickr to install anySim 1.2 and successfully recover your iphone from a 1.1.1 update.
This guide was written by Stealth to make it easier for people to understand, all of the original info was found @ http://code.google.com/p/iphone-elit...radingBaseband
Thanks to those people who found this and shared it.
My phone is working on a Rogers network after following this method.
YouTube, Phone Calls, VoiceMail and Texting are working without any problems!
**Edit - As new posts come in that save people alot of time, ill be adding them here to reduce the redundancy of questions**
Here is a rar file i just created containing the ICE03.14.08_G .eep and .fls files, the secpack, and the ieraser that i used.

It figures Cliff Corcoran would be the one to post this--probably the only sportswriter rooting against Cabrera's Triple Crown last year. Guess Cabrera will need to win the HR crown by two to stave off his detractors come the end of this season...guarantee this isn't the last time Corcoran mentions the "free" HR.
Watch: Michael Bourn turns a Miguel Cabrera fly ball into a home run
This came in the top of the eighth inning of Wednesday night's 11-7 Tigers win over the Indians, after two rain delays, in front of a largely empty ballpark. Fortunately, we have the video:
Memo to Michael Bourn: Miguel Cabrera doesn't need the help. That home run was Cabrera's 13th of the season, keeping him one behind American League leader Chris Davis, who homered without assistance from any Yankees outfielders Wednesday night. Fielder-aided home runs happen every so often, but what makes the Bourn-Cabrera homer so remarkable is that the ball would have hit no more than half-way up the wall if Bourn hadn't touched it. He didn't just tip it over the wall, either, like in this Alex Presley play from 2011, he gave it a good four- to five-foot boost.
Impressive as that was, however, it doesn't top the greatest outfielder-assisted home run of all time: Take a bow, Jose Canseco:

Simon has posted a small dose of Spaced on the Peggster Blogs. It's well worth heading over for.
Simon writes:
During the whole US pilot debacle, when everything got rather serious and unpleasant, I had an idea to respond to the McSpaced situation in a slightly more light hearted but nevertheless pointed fashion. The idea was to get everyone together and make a Spaced short on DV to be posted virally on the net. A little joke to encapsulate how we felt.
Now that the US pilot has been shelved and the feeling of sickly unease has abated, there isn't much point in following through with the idea. However, I thought you might like to see a rough script anyway. This can't really be considered an official Spaced spin off; it's a first draft and never reached a collaborative stage with Jess and Edgar. Just think of it as a work in progress.

Scores and Sheet Music
On the Web
Scores and sheet music for works in the public domain (not copyrighted) may be available on the web for free downloading. Here are a few recommended sites:
- Choral Public Domain Library (ChoralWiki)
- Gutenberg: The Sheet Music Project (mostly chamber music)
- International Music Score Library Project
- The Mutopia Project

In the Library
When you don't have a particular piece of music in mind, browsing the Library shelves, either in person or by using the call number option in the HSU Library Catalog Basic Search may give you ideas. Here is some information about music call numbers:
Music is one of the few sections of the Library of Congress Classification in which the call letters stand for the subject. Music scores are in M (music); books about music are in ML (music literature); books about studying or teaching music are in MT (music teaching).
- Collected editions of the works of individual composers are in M3.
- Instrumental music is in M6-M1490.
- Music for solo instruments is in M6-M175.
- Music for chamber ensembles is in M180-990.
- Duets are in M180-M298.5.
- Trios are in M300-386.
- Quartets are in M400-M486, etc.
- Orchestra music is in M1000-M1075.
- Band music is in M1200-1269.
- Music for jazz ensembles is in M1366.
- Electronic music is in M1473.
- Vocal music is in M1495-M2199.
- The most general collections are in M1495.
- Secular music is in M1497-M1998.
- Operas, musicals, and excerpts of these are in M1500-M1509.
- Miscellaneous popular vocal music collections are in M1630.
- Sacred music is in M1999-2199.
When you have a particular piece of music in mind, you can find out if our library has a score by using the HSU Library catalog or an index to published collections of music. If our Library doesn't have the piece, you may be able to locate a copy to borrow on Interlibrary Loan.
Searching in the HSU Library Catalog
If you have a known song or opera title or want to find all of our scores by a particular composer, you may want to do a Keyword search in the HSU Library Catalog.
- Use Quick Search on the library homepage.
- Enter relevant words from the composer name and/or title of the piece. (See Using Uniform Titles for help with relevant words.) Enclose phrases in quotation marks.
- Add the word scores to your search
Keyword searching is quick, but you may get irrelevant results, or too many. If a keyword search is unsuccessful, try one of the methods described below, or ask a librarian for help.
To search by composer:
- Use Advanced Search; click the link to HSU Library Catalog on the QuickSearch tab, then click the Advanced tab on the resulting page.
- For Type, choose Music Score from the drop down menu.
- Enter the composer's name, full or keywords, into a Search box.
- Change any of these to all of these for that box.
- Change Keyword Anywhere to Author Name.
- Click Search or press Enter.
To search for a particular piece of music:
- Follow the "search by composer" instructions in the section above, but don't click Search or press Enter.
- Enter keywords for the piece in a separate Search box. For help with keywords, see Using Uniform Titles. Change any of these to all of these.
- If you know the opus or catalog number for the piece, you may use it as a keyword, or you may put that into a separate Search box, change any of these to all of these, and change Keyword Anywhere to Opus or Part Number.
- Click Search or press Enter.
To find scores for a particular type of music:
- Use Advanced Search; click the link to HSU Library Catalog on the QuickSearch tab, then click the Advanced tab on the resulting page.
- For Type, choose Music Score from the drop down menu.
- Enter keywords for the type of music you want into a Search box
- Tips for keywords to use:
- Musical forms in plural (concertos, duets, sonatas, songs, symphonies)
- Type of music (children's, folk, jazz, musicals)
- Instrumentation (piano, violin, violoncello, horn, flute, orchestra, string orchestra)
- Vocal range (high voice, medium voice, low voice.)
- Perhaps truncate country names, for example gree? will find Greek and Greece.
- Musical periods such as Baroque, Classical, Romantic, etc., are not used as subjects. You will have better luck searching for composers of the period, as "Author."
- For more help with keywords, see Using Uniform Titles or Finding Books about Music.
- Click Search or press Enter
Using Score and Song Anthology Databases and Indexes
On the Web
Here are a few recommended song indexes on the Web. These were created at other libraries, and the call numbers given for the anthologies are not for the HSU Library. Look up the anthology title in the HSU Library Catalog to see if we have it. If we don't, look it up in WorldCat (see below) and make your interlibrary loan from there.
- UT Song Index - This searchable index covers about 50,000 popular and art songs in about 1,500 anthologies and collections in the music library at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.
- Index to Arias and Art Songs in Collections - This site, at the University of Washington, allows searching by song title, work title, composer, and keywords of over 100 song anthologies at the University of Washington's Music Library.
- Popular Song Database - This is the popular song companion to the Arias and Art Songs at the University of Washington.
- The California Library Systems Cooperative Song Index - This searchable index contains 145,000 titles from 1,500 anthologies, magazines, and other collections.
We have created a searchable database that lists songs in many anthologies in the HSU Library by title and composer. We are adding to it continually. Here is the link:
In the Library
The HSU Library Catalog lists many large collections of scores, such as the complete works of composers, but the individual pieces in these are not listed. To help you locate individual works in these, use Historical Sets, Collected Editions, and Monuments of Music: A Guide to Their Contents (ref ML 113 H52 1980 v. 1-2), complied by Anna Heyer. A librarian can help you.
Scores for individual songs may not be listed in the HSU Library Catalog. Song indexes list songs by composer, title, and sometimes by subject, and they indicate the anthology or collection which includes the individual song. When you have found the title of a collection containing your song, check the HSU Library Catalog to see if we own it. If we don't, you can borrow it on interlibrary loan.
Some of the printed song indexes in our Reference Collection are listed here. If you need help using them, please ask a librarian.
- Find That Tune: An Index to Rock, Folk-Rock, Disco & Soul (ref ML 128 R6 F56 1984 v. 1 & 2)
- Songs in Collections (ref ML 128 S3 D37)
- Repertoire for the Solo Voice (ref ML 128 S3 E8 v. 1-2)
- Literature for Voice (ref ML 128 S3 G64 1984)
- Popular Song Index (ref ML 128 S3 H4 & Suppls.)
- Index to Song Books (ref ML 128 S3 L45)
- Song Index (ref ML 128 S3 S31 1966)
Sources for Interlibrary Loan
Interlibrary Loan is available to HSU students, faculty, and staff. Other residents of Humboldt County should contact the public library. To identify sources for interlibrary loan of scores, you may use one of the indexes described above, an electronic catalog such as the HSU Library Catalog, WorldCat, one from the Other Libraries listed on the library homepage on the Quick Search tab, or other sources on the Web.

In October 2005, The Inn & Conference Center, University of Maryland University College was the first conference center and hotel in North America to be granted Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification. This year, the hotel is relaunching its recycling program and adding a composting initiative.
The main efforts have been focused on the back of the house, where associates separate trash, compostable food waste, and commingled recycling (paper, cardboard, glass, metal, and plastic).
In addition, the conference center has signed on with Envirelation LLC, an organics composting company. On an average day, the hotel sends 1,000 pounds of organic matter to be composted off-site.
Venu Updates:
Kalahari Resorts
Wisconsin Dells, Wis., and Sandusky, Ohio
News: Kalahari Resorts, famous for their waterparks, have added the AquaRecycle system, a process that will reuse 70 percent of the resorts' laundry water.
Specs: 740-room hotel in Wisconsin, 884-room hotel in Ohio
Timeline: Installation was complete in Ohio and Wisconsin by the end of June.
Extra: The system is expected to conserve 26 million gallons of drinking water per year.
Element Lexington
Lexington, Mass.
News: Starwood's first Element hotel opens this month. The company announced in April that all Element hotels must pursue LEED certification. It is the first hotel brand to commit to certification.
Specs: 123 guest rooms, about 800 square feet of meeting space
Extra: More than 20 Element hotels will open by the end of 2009, including properties in New York, Chicago, Orlando, and Las Vegas. The Lexington site was a working laboratory to test the latest in green construction. Even the "Do Not Disturb" signs got a makeover: The paper tag is now an environmentally friendly magnet.
Hilton Americas-Houston
News: The hotel is adding more green practices to earn Green Seal certification. Towel and linen reuse, nondisposable serviceware, and energy-efficient lighting are part of the effort.
Specs: Connected to the George R. Brown Convention Center, the hotel has 1,203 guest rooms and 91,500 square feet of meeting space.
Extra: According to www.greenseal.org, Green Seal "is an independent, nonprofit organization dedicated to safeguarding the environment and transforming the marketplace by promoting the manufacture, purchase, and use of environmentally responsible products and services."
Emory Conference Center Hotel
News: The hotel, which began a conference center expansion in March, is now using single-stream recycling, in which all recyclable items are gathered in one bin. Sorting is done at an off-site processing center.
Specs: 198-room hotel, 26,000 square feet of meeting space
Extra: ECCH is the only Green Seal-certified hotel in Georgia. The conference center expansion will be certified LEED Silver; the existing building will work toward LEED certification.

Don't Dispose - Compost!
Composting is the process of creating organic material that can be used as a soil additive/supplement or as a medium to grow plants. As organic matter decomposes, nutrients are released into the soil and aid in plant growth. It's a great way to recycle your yard and kitchen waste. This is a critical step toward reducing the volume of garbage sent to landfills for disposal.
The County Government Recycling Program manages the "Composting Campaign Revolution: Don't Dispose…Compost!" at the Government Center West (GCW). During the first 18 months of the program, approximately 843 gallons of food waste was collected. That's approximately 2,858 pounds of food waste that has been composted!
Everyone's participation can make a big difference. Kitchen areas and break rooms at GCW are now furnished with colorfully labeled compost collection bins for:
• raw fruit and vegetable scraps• coffee grounds and filters• tea bags• eggshells• bread• lettuce• apple cores• banana, orange, tangerine and other fruit peels
Collected food waste is being added to the garden composter in the Butterfly Garden at the GCW, and the final nutrient-rich soil compost will be used to fertilize the flowers in the garden.
The compost bins and the composter are managed by volunteers. Employees may bring unwanted compostable goods and dispose of them directly into the garden composter. For more information on how to get involved, please contact email@example.com, email@example.com or call 954-474-1868.

Art Nouveau Gold in a Citrine & Pearl Earring
The girandole earring form from the middle of the 1600s is one of the most popular styles of all. Modified and stylized in any number of ways, the cardinal feature is typically three pendant drops with the center one longer and or larger than are its mates.
This specific example designed and fabricated more than 250 years after its prototype is significantly more austere and sensual in form. The earring is essentially Art Nouveau in detailing and employs one of the holy trinities of the style – that of citrine, pearls and gold. The simple surmount is a round faceted natural citrine in a 14k yellow gold collet with a corded rope perimeter.
A small natural baroque freshwater pearl (guaranteed to be natural) is inset between two "O" fittings to suspend a languid foliate-like open work gold element from which drapes the trio of drops. Of equal length, two briolette drops of citrine with solid gold caps flank a drop. Again, a briolette drop of citrine, albeit larger and longer with an intervening baroque saltwater pearl sports a more elaborate gold cap with an open basket weave pattern. Art Nouveau as asymmetry in a harmonious balance for the eye.
Date: Circa 1900.
Measurements: 2-1/4 inches (5.8 cm) including ear wire and 2-1/16 inches (5.3 cm) without by 1/2 of an inch (1.2 cm) at the widest. Weight of 7.7 grams (4.3 dwt) for the pair.
Hallmarks: 585.
Condition: Very good; tops may be a marriage to the drop.
Origin: English.

Funny, a new guy at work is from out there by you. Right on the money with the "Greed!" posting.
Hi, BIG congratulations on having the dedication to post for 200 consecutive days. WOW!! Keep up the great work and Good Luck in the future! Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Hi, you made a great post today on the news item: "Controversial motor fuel with more ethanol raises concerns". My thoughts are: Blending E-10 is good because it reduces the amount of poisonous carbon monoxide produced by all internal combustion engines. Increased amounts of ethanol provide no additional health benefits, significantly reduce MPG and can harm most engines and fuel systems. No MORE Food or Feed for Fuel!!! Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Hi, I noticed your good comment on today's news article "BP Projection: U.S. Will Be Energy Self-Sufficient By 2030". That is also a great main picture you have posted here. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)
Happy New Years !!!
Great comment about "Green Energy" today. Want to become buddies??? Warren :-)

Single-page application
|This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (January 2012)
A single-page application (SPA), also known as single-page interface (SPI), is a web application or web site that fits on a single web page with the goal of providing a more fluid user experience akin to a desktop application.
In an SPA, either all necessary code – HTML, JavaScript, and CSS – is retrieved with a single page load,[1] or the appropriate resources are dynamically loaded and added to the page as necessary, usually in response to user actions. The page does not reload at any point in the process, nor does control transfer to another page, although modern web technologies (such as those included in HTML5) can provide the perception and navigability of separate logical pages in the application. Interaction with the single page application often involves dynamic communication with the web server behind the scenes.
The term single-page application was coined by Steve Yen in 2005, though the concept was discussed at least as early as 2003[2] and Stuart (stunix) Morris wrote the Self-Contained website at http://slashdotslash.com with the same goals and functions in 2002.[3]

- 7 External links
Architectural characteristics[edit]
|This section is empty. You can help by adding to it. (May 2013)
Technical approaches[edit]
There are various techniques available that enable the browser to retain a single page even when the application requires server communication.
JavaScript Frameworks[edit]
Browser plugins[edit]
Asynchronous calls to the server may also be achieved using browser plug-in technologies such as Silverlight, Flash, HTML5 Socket or Java applets.
Data transport (XML, JSON and AJAX)[edit]
Requests to the server typically result in either raw data (e.g. XML or JSON), or new HTML being returned. In the case where HTML is returned by the server, JavaScript on the client updates a partial area of the DOM (Document Object Model). When raw data is returned, often a client-side JavaScript XML / (XSL) process ( and in case of JSON a template ) is used to translate the raw data into HTML, which is then used to update a partial area of the DOM.
Thin server architecture[edit]
An SPA moves logic from the server to the client. This results in the role of the web server evolving into a pure data API or web service. This architectural shift has, in some circles, been coined "Thin Server Architecture" to highlight that complexity has been moved from the server to the client, with the argument that this ultimately reduces overall complexity of the system.[4]
Thick stateful server architecture[edit]
Thick stateless server architecture[edit]
Running locally[edit]
Some SPAs may be executed from a local file using the file URI scheme. This gives users the ability to download the SPA from a server and run the file from a local storage device, without depending on server connectivity. If such an SPA wants to store and update data, it must be self-modifying.[dubious ] That is, the SPA must be capable of writing itself to disk, including a representation of the state that is to be persisted. These applications benefit from advances available with HTML5, particularly Web Storage.
Challenges with the SPA model[edit]
Because the SPA is an evolution away from the stateless page-redraw model that browsers were originally designed for, some new challenges have emerged. Each of these problems has an effective solution[5] with:
- Client-side JavaScript libraries addressing various issues.
- Server side web frameworks that specialize in the SPA model.[6][7][8][9]
- The evolution of browsers and the HTML5 specification aimed at the SPA model.[10]
Search engine optimization[edit]
Because of the lack of JavaScript execution on crawlers of all popular Web search engines,[11][12] SEO (Search engine optimization) has historically presented a problem for public facing websites wishing to adopt the SPA model.[13]
Google currently crawls URLs containing hash fragments starting with #!,.[14] This allows the use of hash fragments within the single URL of an SPA. Special behavior must be implemented by the SPA site to allow extraction of relevant metadata by the search engine's crawler. For search engines that do not support this URL hash scheme, the hashed URLs of the SPA remain invisible.
Alternatively, applications may render the first page load on the server and subsequent page updates on the client. This is traditionally difficult, because the rendering code might need to be written in a different language or framework on the server and in the client. Using logic-less templates, cross-compiling from one language to another, or using the same language on the server and the client may help to increase the amount of code that can be shared.
Because SEO compatibility is not trivial in SPAs, it's worth noting that SPAs are commonly not used in a context where search engine indexing is either a requirement, or desirable. Use cases include applications that surface private data hidden behind an authentication system. In the cases where these applications are consumer products, often a classic "page redraw" model is used for the applications landing page and marketing site, which provides enough meta data for the application to appear as a hit in a search engine query. Blogs, support forums, and other traditional page redraw artifacts often sit around the SPA that can seed search engines with relevant terms.
Browser history[edit]
With an SPA being, by definition, "a single page", the model breaks the browser's design for page history navigation using the Forward/Back buttons. This presents a usability impediment when a user presses the back button, expecting the previous screen state within the SPA, but instead the application's single page unloads and the previous page in the browser's history is presented.
To further address this issue, the HTML5 specification has introduced pushState and replaceState providing programmatic access to the actual URL and browser history.
Page lifecycle[edit]
An SPA is fully loaded in the initial page load and then page regions are replaced or updated with new page fragments loaded from the server on demand. To avoid excessive downloading of unused features, an SPA will often progressively download more features as they become required, either small fragments of the page, or complete screen modules.
In this way an analogy exists between "states" in an SPA and "pages" in a traditional web site. Because "state navigation" in the same page is analogous to page navigation, in theory any page based web site could be converted to single-page replacing in the same page only the changed parts result of comparing consecutive pages in a non-SPA.
The SPA approach on the web is similar to the Single Document Interface (SDI) presentation technique popular in native desktop applications.

Remembering JFK with Maestro Eschenbach and the NSO - 2 CD SetChristoph Eschenbach and the National Symphony Orchestra make their first recording together, a live recording of the concerts the National Symphony performed during the Kennedy Center's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the John F. Kennedy Inaugural.
The repertoire includes Peter Lieberson's new composition Remembering JFK (An American Elegy), with Richard Dreyfuss narrating excerpts from the speeches of President Kennedy. Additionally, pieces include Bernstein's Fanfare for the Inauguration of JFK and Symphonic Dances from West Side Story and the Gershwin Piano Concerto in F Major, with Tzimon Barto as soloist.
The recording also includes a bonus CD with excerpts from the broadcast of the January 19, 1961, Inaugural Concert by then-Music Director Howard Mitchell and the National Symphony. At the Kennedys' request, the Inaugural Program emphasized American composers, and the excerpts selected include John La Montaine's Overture From Sea to Shining Sea (commissioned by the NSO specifically for the Inaugural Concert), a movement from Randall Thompson's Testament of Freedom (with the Georgetown University Glee Club), and Rhapsody in Blue with piano soloist Earl Wild.

I thought it's time for another chat with Bo the Builder, on the subject of the much belabored fiscal cliff. We met as usual at our favorite coffee emporium.
"Bo," I started, "you're a practical thinker, what's your opinion of how the Fiscal Cliff will ultimately be resolved?"
"Glad you asked," replied Bo. "We all need to put on our thinking caps because we're going to get nipped in the long run. And I consider myself conservative."
I raised my eyebrows.
"Get nipped?" I said in surprise. "Are you insinuating that we will pay (gasp) higher taxes?"

They offer young people the opportunity to learn on-the-job with the employer, developing knowledge and skills and gaining qualifications. Apprenticeships include an NVQ qualification, key skills and some cases a Technical Certificate. On an apprenticeship the learner will train to NVQ Level 2 within a work place this will take about 12 months to complete.
Advanced apprenticeships train to a level 3 (supervisory) while they are working full-time and getting a wage. This usually takes up to two to three years to completed depending on the programme.

Warm and Well in Redcar and Cleveland could help you by offering the following:
Benefit Check - This can help to maximise your income , and receipt of certain benefits qualifies you for an energy efficiency grant - especially if you are on a low income with dependent children or are elderly, have a disability or long-term illness.
Home Energy Efficiency Assessment - this determines the energy efficiency measures your home requires to make it warmer and healthier to live in. It's a simple survey that does not take too long.
Grant for Energy Efficiency Measures - if you receive benefits, you may be eligible for free insulation and measures under the Government's grant schemes. We will assist in the application process and make sure things run smoothly.
Able to pay Schemes - if you do not qualify for a grant we can help you find an affordable option for you to achieve the energy efficiency measures you need for a warmer, healthier home.
Utility Bill Advice - We can provide bill explanations, give advice on tariffs/payment methods and help you choose the right supplier for your needs.
To apply or for further information please contact Warm and Well in Redcar and Cleveland on 01642 777976.
Disabled Facilities Grants are paid to cover the costs of adapting a property to allow a person with a disability to continue living there. They are paid by your local council, which must approve the work before any grant is awarded. An occupational therapist, Home Improvement Agency (HIA), local Environmental or Housing Departments can also advise on what adaptations may be appropriate. You must find out what work is required and how much it will cost before applying. Some councils keep a list of approved builders and architects.
The revenue can revise a decision if there is a change of circumstances, if they have made a mistake or if they think your award is wrong. If you disagree with their decision you can appeal. The time limit for appealing is 30 days from the date of the decision. An appeal must be in writing and must say why you are appealing. Appeals can be made on form TC623, found at the leaflet ATC/AP available from the Revenue. Unless you are reporting a change of circumstances it is usually better to ask for an appeal rather than a revision. This is because the appeal deadline of 30 days is not extended if you ask for a revision and it is turned down. Late appeals are sometimes possible up to one year and 30 days after a decision. But a late appeal is only granted in 'special circumstances', so you should always try and make sure that you meet the normal appeal deadline.
For more information please telephone 0845 300 3900 (Textphone 0845 300 3909) Lines are open from 8am-8pm seven days a week.
If your local authority agrees that your child needs services, you can choose to get money to buy these services yourself. This is called Direct Payments. Direct Payments should give you more control over how your childs needs are met but it also involves more responsibility for you.
Control and flexibility
Parents using Direct Payments often find they have more control over the services they receive, with care being provided in a more convenient and flexible way. Using direct payments means you should be able to:
- decide who is going to provide services
- arrange how and when any service is provided
For more information please telephone Contact a Family on 0808 808 3555 or visit the website at www.cafamily.org.uk
You can use direct payments to buy services from an organisation that provides care such as a private agency, a voluntary organisation or a nursery. Alternatively you can employ someone yourself. However, you cant use your direct payments to buy services from a local authority.
Using direct payments can mean extra responsibilities for you, since you will be more involved in arranging services. This is particularly true if you employ a PA to help meet your childs needs. Direct payments are not for everyone and you are under no obligation to use them if you dont want to. However, if you like the idea of having more control over services for your family then direct payments are an option worth exploring.
For more information please visit www.cafamily.org.uk or telephone Contact a Family on 0808 808 3555
If you are already getting help from the local authority you can ask for direct payments instead. If you dont currently get help you will first need to ask the local authority to assess your childs care needs.
If you would like futher information please contact your local authority or telephone Contact a Family on 0808 808 3555 or visit www.cafamily.org.uk

Rescind $4,500 bonus to Burdick aide?by Post Staff
As Palm Beach County cuts services and lays off workers, Commissioner Paulette Burdick gave one of her administrative assistants a $4,500 bonus with money that could have been used for county services.
The bonus was allowed under county rules but came while many other county employees go years without a pay raise.
County commissioners can hire three administrative aides to help carry out the functions of their office. Some of the longest-serving aides make more than $80,000 a year. New hires generally earn about $51,000. Their salaries are well above those of other county employees performing similar functions.
If a vacancy opens up on a commissioner's staff, she can use the resulting savings to award bonuses to other aides. Those bonuses can be as much as 10 percent of the aide's salary.
Commissioner Burdick says Mr. McArthur deserved the bonus because he performed above expectations and had not taken a car or phone allowance.
Fellow Commissioner Karen Marcus, who has also had money to award aide bonuses, declined to do so in recent years because, she said, "none of the other employees were getting raises."
What do you think? Should Commissioner Burdick rescind her aide's bonus? Click on the link below to take our poll.

Since its inception in 1970, the Microsurgery Service at the Davies Medical Center, now the Davies Campus at CPMC, has performed thousands of amazing reconstructive procedures, and hundreds of successful toe to thumb transplants, giving new hope to patients.
Some of the world's foremost specialists in reconstructive, replantation, and transplantation microsurgery for fingers, hands, extremities, and facial parts practice at California Pacific.
Microsurgery is surgery performed under the magnification of a microscope. The blood vessels and nerves that supply fingers and small body parts like ears, scalps, noses are so small that the help of a microscope is necessary to place the sutures in the walls of the blood vessels and nerve coverings. Connections for blood vessels and nerves can then be made to establish/re-establish blood flow and nerve transmission.
Microsurgical procedures includes thumb to toe transplants, digital replants, hand reconstructions, nerves repairts, breast reconstructions after cancer surgery.

In a selfie posted to the site, Craig gives the world an up close (and free of prosthetics) view of what we've all seen a glimpse of on the Starz show.
Hit the link here for the rest of the full monty you see below (NSFW, obviously). You're welcome.
How do you guys even know he's out? You cant believe everything you read on the internet. Not that it's a bad thing if he is gay that would be awesome, but if something isnt true or you dont know personally dont blurt it out
what a handsome sexy man! I will add you to my list of men who I admire list! keep posting those pics mister your my fantasy man!
This is my testimonial on how Dr.Zabaza of firstname.lastname@example.com brought back my lover within 48 hours, I came across Dr.Zabaza email address through the search engine few days ago, so i emailed him about my condition and how my lover left me. He told me it would take him only 48 hours to get my ex back to me, my ex called me before 48 hours begging me to forgive him and forget about the past and he is ready to make up for lost time.Thank you Dr.Zabaza for the good job you did for me continue the good work. Contact Dr.Zabaza via email on firstname.lastname@example.com or call +2348182620374
Just for thr record, he is a Kiwi and has been out for years,...and odd as you may find it anywhere but NZ, NO drama, no endless magazine articles,....just "meh, ok". NZ is too small to be gay and on Tv and even attempt to be anything but honest about it.
For what an individual holds as Sacred, who cares???
Well done, I know that isn't easy. But you did. Now you are free... Anyway, you are looking great. You are did good thing. Wish you luck and the best in your carrier, private life to. With love Arun.
It has always been obvious that he is gay. Why do you flamers always anticipate their "COMING OUT". Sooo stereotypical, and soooo tired!
Because we'd rather listen to who's coming out that those of you who are out of their f-ing minds and full of p*ss and vinegar! :-)
What would he have ever needed a prosthetic for? Cuz wow.
Well they always said there was one actor or actress who wanted to be naked without the prosthetics. You look at this pic and his nude scene on spartacus there really isn't all that much of a difference. Unlike Mike Edwards' and some of the other characters Parkers nude pennis looked normal enough to be real.
Very impressive! How I remember Spartacus fondly.
One question though: Has Mr. Parker officially come out yet? He seems to be stuck in that "Victor Garber" limbo where "Everyone knows, but no one will confirm."
Thanks Jonathan!
