by Foxboro Marmot
Foxboro, Massachusetts
January 14, 2005
The York is a small hotel on Nob Hill, built in 1922 and extensively renovated in 1995. Three rather hilly blocks from a cable-car line, six blocks uphill from Union Square, it seemed convenient, yet away from the tourist mainstream. It was a pleasure to walk up Sutter Street unmolested after passing the panhandler gauntlet around Union Square.
To top it all off, the hotel appeared in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller Vertigo (as the 'Empire Hotel'), and we were staying in room 501, the Kim Novak room. In Vertigo, Jimmy Stewart, standing on the other side of Sutter Street, sees Kim Novak look out the window of room 501! It was our brush with Hollywood glamour, circa 1956! And yet….
Our bow-front room was clean and spacious, with its own character, instead of the efficient cookie-cutter design of a modern hotel. It was tastefully decked out with pale terracotta-colored walls and pale green carpet, decorated with posters and stills from Vertigo—but a bit stuffy. Ah, no air-conditioning? No problem! There were three windows; we opened all three.
It was only later, when we tried to sleep, that we realized how noisy Sutter Street was, with buses, cars with screechy brakes, and in the morning, garbage trucks. Closing the windows made it marginally quieter, but much hotter!
A continental breakfast served in the sparking marble foyer was included. The breakfast buffet was close to being good but fell short. Juice, coffee, tea, muffins, croissants, and fruit should have been fine, and yet… the baked goods must have been bought in bulk from Sam's Club instead of from a nearby bakery. Once emptied, the fruit bowl stayed empty longer than necessary before being restocked.
The price for a double averaged out to $128 per night, including taxes. It was so very close to being a fine place to stay, but the little things seemed a bit off. When booking a reservation at the York, insist on a room at the back, away from the street. It might be enough to move this hotel's rating up a notch.

Enjoy the luxurious flavors of fresh, ripe strawberry and rich, creamy vanilla.

Product Reviews
Originally went in store to buy the Pink Lemonade tea, which was out of stock, so I resorted to buying this. I\\\'m not a huge fan of fruit tea but this is by far my favourite warm drink right now! So fruity and sweet, love it.
It's okay. Doesn't really taste of strawberry or vanilla to me, just sweet. I'll finish the pot, but I don't think I'll ever get it again.
It smells lovely,reminds me of strawberry sprinkles! Don't love it too much as tea compared to the other tastes, but I tried it on vanilla ice cream and YES, it serves at least one purpose very well!
It is too sweet to enjoy it.
The tag of 'sugar contained' is not obvious.
One of my favorites, is not easy to by this kind of the here in norway. Wish they sold this kind of tea.

A Spot-On Trend1 of 9
By ELLE
Freckled faces complemented the vacation-ready skorts and cheery prints at Rachel Comey's spring 2010 show, thanks to a healthy dabbing of eyebrow pencil along the cheeks and bridge of the nose. "I gave the girls freckles to create a fresh, youthful image," says Miyako Okamoto, a Shiseido makeup artist. "If they already had freckles, I gave them more."
A Spot-On Trend2 of 9
Inspired by summer camp, Okamoto layered "a lot of moisturizer and cream blush" underneath the dusting of freckles to "make the skin glow." The final result: a look that gives fair fashionistas reason to rejoice.

Hi all,
I recently took ownership of a condominium. Prior to the purchase, I had an inspection done, and in the inspection report, it stated:
You can find pictures of the panel box with the cover removed here (apologies for the somewhat poor quality): http://sdrv.ms/17TxpTr . Could anybody help me better understand what the issue is here?
On a slightly different note, I have since uninstalled a lamp fixture in one of the bathrooms. With all the fuses turned off, my current meter is still showing a reading on the orange wired (picture of wiring also included at above link). Any chance that these two issues are related?
Appreciate any insights you could share !
I'm pushing this up to the top so it will be seen. I'm curious to see any responses to the question regarding the bonding jumper issue. This forum is in so many ways is an educational experience for me and better than reading a textbook.
Re-mdlr, did you notice that they're advertising for moderator positions? Apparently that board is actuallay monitored.
Quite a bit of difference in the level of activity.
That's the first time I've seen that site -- but I don't go on any other sites. I've had to deal with enough bullies on this site; I don't want to compound the problem. I did notice the pics of this poster look better than the link provided. I wonder if they're waiting for this site to die off and maybe concentrating on the other site -- which does contain ads that maybe they get paid for?
bottom of page, the other site is owned by Internet Brands. that is not Scripps Networks, owner of this site. the other guys are a pure ad portal, this one is a value-add to the cablecast business of Scripps.
to me, an "equipment bonding jumper" would be any lead guaranteeing a hard ground. those clever conduit clamps on the other site surely qualify as rugged enough.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
I think what your inspection service is telling you that a certain type of connector is required to properly ground you panel. And since no main breaker is present, this is a sub panel. Evidently when this was wired a separate neutral and a separate ground was not required. Or was required and an inspection was never performed, Who knows?
Subs require separate neutral and ground landings as an added safety feature. But then no green or bare copper wires seem to be present anywhere in the box. As in the metal conduit is carrying the grounding system. While legal at one time, new work requires a ground wire present in all circuits.This message has been edited.

Tuesday's Sentinel had the horrid story of a teenage girl whose lousy decision to send a nude picture of herself spiraled out of control.
Her image went viral. It became an advertisement for porn sites and, authorities say, the obsession of a predator.
It was a powerful reminder of what one of Florida's leading pediatricians, Dr. Lisa Cosgrove, tells her patients: "One picture can change everything. It can change your entire life."
But sexting isn't the only thing parents must watch. Parents must be plugged in on all fronts.
I know from experience.
When my 13-year-old daughter first got on Instagram — a photo-sharing medium similar to Facebook — we thought we had it all figured out.
Her posts were private. We monitored her discussions. We had her password. And her Internet access was limited to computers in the common areas of our house and to her parent's devices.
She didn't post anything more adventurous than photos of her cat.
What we didn't know, however, was that Instagram can tell the world exactly where users are when they post — down to the precise parking space of our car.
That's just creepy. We learned the GPS settings needed to be turned off. But do all parents know that?
Do they know Instagram's minimum age for users is supposed to be 13?
Do they know what their kids are watching on Vine? Who they're talking with on Snapchat? And who they're following on Twitter?
Many parents are woefully behind the technology curve, said Cosgrove, a past president of Florida's chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "The majority of 2-year-olds who come into my office know how to pull out their parents' phone and turn on the video they want," she says.
So here are some tips:
1. Don't start too early. Cosgrove doesn't recommend smart phones for kids younger than 12 or middle school. When we wanted our daughter to have a phone for emergencies, we got her an older model that merely (gasp!) called people. It was super-lame … which was just what we wanted.
2. Don't allow smartphones in bedrooms at night. Boredom, curiosity and technology is a toxic combination.
3. Understand the technology they are using. If you're a parent who thinks a Vine only grows on a tree, you need to study up."Nobody ever said parenting is easy," Cosgrove said. "It's harder than ever these days. But if you don't know what your child is doing, you are never going to keep up."
4. Interact with your kids on social media. Don't just be a scold. "Like" their funny pictures. Comment on their observations of the day. Develop a relationship based on trust and interaction — not just parachuting in to tell them when they've messed up.
5. Talk with them about what they see. Maybe your kid is doing all the right things. But what about their friends? If you see their friends posting inappropriate things, talk with your kids about it. Ask them what kind of message they think that sends — and tell them what you think.
6. Have tech-free time. Make rules. Phones go away during dinner. Don't allow them to text during conversations. As great as technology can be, it also can undermine basic communication skills.
7. Help them understand the concept of permanence. Kids send goofy pictures to their friends. Make them understand that once they click "send" or "post," they have lost control. There is no telling where that image will end up.
Sexting stories are scary stuff. But all of social media affects kids, their behavior, their self-esteem and the rest of their lives. It's up to parents to be plugged in.
I've certainly made mistakes and am still learning. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to find out what happened to the "e" in Tumblr … which apparently is not a gymnast.

Microsoft's recent announcement that it will end support for the Windows XP operating system in two years signals the end of an era for the company, and potentially the beginning of a nightmare for everyone else.
When Microsoft cuts the cord on XP in two years it will effectively leave millions of existing Windows-based computers vulnerable to continued and undeterred cyberattacks, many of which hold the potential to find their way into consumer, enterprise and even industrial systems running the latest software.

MORE: Useful security threat data advisory tools
Jason Miller, manager of research and development at VMware, says the introduction of Windows XP "was the hey-dey of buying computers," with markets having become familiar with Windows 95 or 98 and manufacturers like Dell releasing affordable options. With such an influx of new users, it comes as no surprise that Windows XP remains one of the most common operating systems despite the introduction of two entirely new versions in the decade since it hit shelves. In fact, March 2012 statistics from NetMarketShare.com show XP in the lead for operating system market share, at 43.09%.
Although that number is on a steady decline, its high volume just two years before support is cutoff is cause for concern, Qualys CTO Wolfgang Kandek says. Most enterprises are likely to upgrade their operating systems in the wake of the announcement that XP support would be cutoff. They have plenty of reasons to, such as security concerns raised by the IT department or the need for the latest version of Word or Excel to open new document formats.
Remaining consumers, though, will be much less inclined to make an upgrade.
Several trends account for this. First, and foremost, is cost. At-home computer users who are still content with XP are unlikely to purchase a new operating system without any financial incentive, especially considering that many of the features for Windows 7 require hardware upgrades. Try telling someone who uses their home computer to just check their email and read the latest Yahoo News headlines that they need to spend $500 for a new one.
Then there's the awareness issue. How many at-home consumer users will even know that Microsoft will be cutting off XP support? How many will know what "the end of support" means for them at the user level, and how many will actually care? Microsoft is of course doing what it can to help spread the word, providing a deployment toolkit and its "Springboard Series" to hold its users hands through the process. Microsoft can only lead these XP-running horses to water, though. It can't make them drink it.
Finally, the burgeoning tablet market could present a roadblock to PC software upgrades. Amol Sarwate, director of Vulnerability Labs for Qualys, says that many entertainment-minded users who purchase a tablet may still have XP-based PCs still kicking around their homes.
"If I have a Windows XP machine and I go buy a new tablet, for most of my needs I will use my tablet, but I still keep my XP machine for doing some chores that only a desktop can do. So that could also play a role here," Sarwate says.
Although most of the subsequent security issues appear to be at the consumer level, it may not be long until they find a way into corporate networks or industrial systems, Miller says.

PS3 Media Server is a DLNA compliant UPNP media server for the PlayStation 3. It is ready to launch and play. It has no codec packs to install. It does not require folder configuration and pre-parsing or any other annoying preparation. All your folders are directly browsed by the PS3, and folder displays are automatic refreshed. It also features real-time video transcoding of various formats, direct streaming of DTS/DTS-HD core to the receiver, remuxing H264/MPEG2 video and all audio tracks to AC3/DTS/LPCM in real time, full seeking support when transcoding, and much more.
Herqq UPnP (HUPnP) is a software library for building UPnP devices and control points conforming to the UPnP Device Architecture version 1.1. It is designed to be simple to use and robust in operation. It is built using the Qt framework, following many of the design principles and programming practices used in the Qt framework. It integrates into Qt-based software smoothly and enables truly rapid UPnP development.
The ATRACO Project is a prototype implementation of a trusted ambient ecology system that runs and manages activity spheres in an Ambient Intelligence Space. Activity spheres are realized by automatically discovering, selecting, and adapting smart devices (artefacts) existing in the space, according to user's preferences, customs, and activities. OWL ontologies are used for modeling user profile, devices, activities, and goal descriptions. Abstract plans are bound to specific devices, methods, and values through semantic matching.
LXiMedia is a fully transcoding DLNA media server. It supports DVD and High Definition resolutions (720p and 1080p), stereo and multi-channel (5.1 surround) audio, DVD title playback, high quality subtitle overlay, support for embedded subtitles, and SRT subtitle files, selection of an audio stream and/or subtitle overlay from the DLNA device, and support for IMDb movie titles and descriptions.
YAACC is an Android UPnP controller. It allows you to discover, use, and control UPnP devices on your network to stream media files. Since it's a subset of UPnP, it is also capable of communicating with DLNA devices. It is possible to start a UPnP server on your device in order to play media from your device on any UPnP renderer in your network. If you start the YAACC UPnP renderer service, you are able to control your device by another UPnP controller in the network. This is quite useful for Android HDMI sticks plugged into your TV. If you install YAACC on them and start the UPnP renderer service, you are able to stream media file to it using YAACC on your smartphone or tablet.
Cling is a complete, clean, and very flexible Java implementation of the UPnP Device Architecture specification. Additional UPnP service modules and graphical tools are also part of this project. Cling helps you create, control, and monitor UPnP-compatible services on your local network. Cling can be used as an UPnP/DLNA library for Android application development.
MammothCopy is a simple, Java-based tool to copy large or many files from one computer on the Internet directly to another. This is also possible with tools like WinSCP and an SSH server, but those are too complex for normal users. MammothCopy is geared towards parents wanting to send photos to their kids, or professionals who want to transfer huge files (only limited to the receiving end's hard disk space).
A content management system that excels at community, portal, and Web application sites.
A flexible and manageable operating system for PCs, notebooks, and thin clients.

The bark and sometimes the berries of these two American trees are used as medicine. There are many other trees in this genus that grow on other continents, including Chinese prickly ash (Zanthoxylum bungeanum), which grows in Asia.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
Many eastern Native American tribes valued prickly ash as a remedy for upset stomach, sore throats, aching muscles, skin infections, to stimulate saliva flow, and various other conditions.1 Eclectic physicians (doctors who recommended herbal medicines) in the United States at the end of the 19th century continued the traditional uses of prickly ash, primarily as a digestive aid, to strengthen the nervous system, and for cholera.2 The bark was also widely used by herbalists to treat rheumatic conditions.3 Prickly ash is also considered an alterative in traditional herbalism, meaning it enhances the body's ability to fight against and recover from all manner of difficulties.4 Chinese prickly ash (Zanthoxylum simulans) is used for similar indications as its American relative as well as for killing parasites.5

Football like it oughta be: Why college blows away the NFL
Story Highlights
Ancient rivalries, revered traditions, oversized passions make college game great
There's less risk-taking and variety, more cautious coaching in cookie-cutter NFL
For all college game's imperfections, it remains far more attractive than the pros
Darn right it was a turbulent offseason for college football. So many changes. Let the Pac-10 henceforth be known as the Pac-12, the Big 12 as the Big 12 Lite and the Big Ten as Delany's Dozen. And the fasten-seat belts sign is still illuminated. Superconferences are on the horizon.
While these changes -- actual or proposed -- may leave some partisans disoriented, disappointed and disgusted, none of those alterations can undermine the premise of this essay: that college football reigns supreme over the NFL. With its ancient rivalries and revered traditions, its oversized passions and colorful characters, the college game is this country's most compelling sport, warts and all.
Of course, even transcendent beauties have flaws. (You'd be surprised how many of the SI swimsuit models smoke.) And in this case the flaw is avarice. Conference commissioners continue to hyperventilate over those superconferences and the stratospheric sums they'll be able to wring from TV networks by expanding their respective league's footprints from, say, 12 to 14 or 16 teams. Who knows, maybe more. You can bet that Larry Scott, the Pac-10's ambitious first-year commish -- who calls his charge nothing less than "reinventing" his conference -- isn't about to content himself with poaching just Colorado and Utah.
Such dramatic expansion will result in contraction elsewhere. Just ask the Big 12, whose long June weekend in intensive care ended only when Texas decided not to bail. At least for now.
Superconferences will lead to the extinction of some treasured rivalries, just as they will accelerate the polarization between college football's haves and have-nots. The rich will get richer. (And the TCU Horned Frogs will still end up kicking their backsides more often than not.) And you know what? Bring it on. Change is inevitable; it's healthy; it's good -- unless you're the Big East and Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany is eyeballing you the way a boa looks at a fluffy white bunny.
However the landscape of this sport changes during the next several seasons, college football will still be more beautiful, more interesting and more fun than the dome-sheltered, corporate, conformist game that's played in the NFL. College football will look different but remain strong.
Whether the SEC is made up of 12 teams (as currently constituted) or four four-team divisions, undergrads at Ole Miss will continue to dress up for tailgates in the Grove, those stately oaks casting blessed shade outside Vaught-Hemingway Stadium. However supersized the Pac-10 becomes, the USC Trojans won't stop "tapping in" at Goux's Gate before every practice. The Leland Stanford Junior University Marching Band, which once commemorated the flight of O.J. Simpson by driving a white Bronco around the Stanford Stadium track, will continue to amuse, entertain and offend. Regardless of the state of the ACC, the Clemson Tigers will refuse to descend into Death Valley until they've rubbed Howard's Rock. Even if (or when) the Big 12 truly implodes, forcing Missouri into the arms of, say, the Mountain West, Mizzou students will still celebrate huge wins by lugging the goal posts the 17 blocks from Faurot Field to Harpo's, the renowned public house whose bartenders will then dispense small hacksaws to patrons so everyone can go out and get a piece. And isn't that what college is all about?
Don't get me wrong, if there's an NFL game on, I don't have trouble walking past the TV. I've been on the college football beat for 15 of the last 20 years, but covered the NFL for five years in the mid-90s. Monday Night Football is a ritual in my house, even though Tony Kornheiser was an acquired taste I never acquired and the braying of Hank Williams Jr. makes me wince. Literally. I like NFL football as much as the next guy. I'm just saying that, for a bunch of reasons, I prefer the college game. I mean much prefer. I mean, it's not even close.
OK, let's give credit where it's due. The NFL has bigger, better, faster athletes than we see in the college game. Hmm. What else. For a sports writer, it offers the advantage of having more direct flights. Other than that, to my way of thinking, it's no contest. Better athletes do not equal better football. There is less risk-taking in the NFL, less variety, more cautious coaches spending more time scrutinizing percentages and playing not to lose. The high school football coach and prolific author John T. Reed has identified what he calls the "principles of contrarianism," and they are much more evident on Saturdays than Sundays. "I'm all for giving each team an equal chance to win with regard to spending limits and the draft," Reed has written. "However, when parity takes the form of uniformity of offensive tactics and strategy, it is not entertaining at all. It is boring."
College football is many things, but homogenous isn't one of them. With its smorgasbord of offensive attacks -- from the no-huddle, hurry-up offenses common in the Big 12 to the triple options favored by the service academies to the pistol offenses recently unholstered at UCLA and Arkansas -- the college game offers much more variety than the conformist, cookie-cutter NFL.
Around the same time that Tim Tebow started flummoxing SEC defenses by passing over the linebackers on one play and knocking the snot out of them the next, the then Florida Gator started hearing the questions, the doubts: Yeah, he's a winner and a born leader, but can he play QB in the League?
We're about to find out. Yes, Tebow has had to tweak his release point, and no, he's not the prototypical NFL quarterback. (Tebow is actually more multidimensional than that: a superior athlete.) Maybe Tebow will pan out with the Denver Broncos and open-minded head coach Josh McDaniels. Maybe he won't. But if Tebow never thrives as a pro -- well, the way I see it, if one of the most exciting players in the history of college football can't find a home in the NFL, that's more an indictment of the League than it is of the player.

Ashkenazi yarmulkes from around 200 years ago closely resemble the Yerushalmi style - white knitted with a tassel on top. Today, the vast majority of Chasidim and Yeshivish Jews seem to wear black velvet yarmulkes, with some notable exceptions. When and why did this change take place?
I heard Rabbi Berel Wein discussing that Rashi's headcovering (in the animated film made by Rabbi Wein) is red, maroon, and/or brown. The historical research shows those were men's colors for Jews in Rashi's time and place. Someone objected that it should be a black velvet yarmulka. Rabbi Wein replied that black happened in the 1400s as a result of a Church decree that colors were too happy for Jews, they should only wear black. Much later, some rabbis came along and said "I see the Jews wear black; that's nice, it's a sign of humility."
That doesn't completely answer the question, but it's probably a piece.
(Of course, Rabbi Wein's questioner replied, "oh um ... but you still should have made it a black velvet yarmulka!" Rabbi Wein: "What's next? Rashi with a shtreimel? When is it wrong to tell the historical truth?")
One odd thought might be related to size? As you knit a kippah it takes more effort as the outer rim gets larger and larger. I asked my sister once to knit me one, but I have a big head and like a big kippah. She did it once and refused after that saying it was so much work to do big ones.
Cloth kippahs have no major additional cost in effort (material is cheap) to make larger sizes.
I doubt this is a real answer, but something to consider.

The Les Drazeys has a very nice dark ruby colour with an open and attractive nose, rather classic but complex and "unusual" at the same time.
It has a well balanced structure on the palate with soft tannins, lively aromas, nice rhythm, and nice Côte de Nuits architecture.

As a kid, I lived for playing in the backyard and our family constantly was using a swing that we attached to a tree. Now that I am a parent and my girls are playing outdoors, we want to attach a swing to our backyard tree, but we are finding that there are many choices that run the gamut of price points. Has any parent put up a swing in their backyard and if so, what brand/model did you choose?
We (living in the south) have an old tire that has been cut just right into the shape of a horse, I guess like tire oragami (not sure if I spelled that right). The kids love it, looks cute in the yard, and wasn't too pricey! Hope this helps!
Tire swings are always fun! I love those. Something fun that a friend of mine has is a hammock swing. It's shaped like a chair and her kids sit and read in it - something kind of different to think about!
Both really cool ideas... we are going to try the tire route, as my cousin is a mechanic and we have plenty to choose from. Thanks for the advice!

nothing beats eca but the closest combo for me was alphamine plus Orbit Nutrition - Buy APS Phenadrine Cheap! , really took food cravings away
Hi All,
I was using ECA for a number of months (cycled on/off) but I ended up in hospital due to a bowel perforation which led to peritonitis. My GP and surgeon have both warned against going back on the ECA stack and even advised against taking any aspirin or ibuprofen for the foreseeable future in case of any reoccurrence. I had great results from the ECA and dropped a good 4KG in body fat.
As such I'm looking for other alternatives and would welcome any suggestions that people may have. I've tried yohimbine in the past but never liked it, I always felt nausea & jittery from it.
nothing beats eca but the closest combo for me was alphamine plus Orbit Nutrition - Buy APS Phenadrine Cheap! , really took food cravings away
Thanks, I'll check it out.
You can omit the "A" and just make an EC stack and have effective results. Many include fish oil or white willow bark as a replacement for the Aspirin.
You could also maybe do an ECY stack (using yohimbine). I haven't personally used it but I've heard good reviews online in regards.
Also regarding your stomach, do you take any probiotics, or fermented foods? If not, maybe look into eating some greek yogurts, drinking Kefir or taking a good live bacteria probiotic supplement. These things can help with the lining of your stomach. Soda/Coffee etc.. aren't good for that either.
Thanks guys.
Definitely can drop the aspirin and have the same results.
Really tho, diet is what matters. Supplements are secondary.
I Liked the Lipodenene the original formula - has ephedra, caffine, bitter orange, Greed Tea Extract..... Was it the asprin that gave you the perforated Bowel or the Asprin?
You could also try Helios.
At the moment the most likely cause they have indicated is a combination of ibuprofen (taken for a muscle injury) and the aspirin as part of the ECA stack. But once there is any risk of perforation then both are off the table for good. Going back for a colonoscope and check up next week.
I'll give the alphamine a go for the next 8 weeks and then give EC a try again for off cycle. Thanks guys.

The Joint Prehistoric Project
Robert J. Braidwood and Linda S. Braidwood
The situation in southeastern Turkey, unfortunately, is still unchanged. Actually with the capture and sentencing of the militant PKK Kurdish leader, and his statements to the judges, there is a glimmer of hope that the violence and killings will stop.
We have nothing exciting to report at this time but are glad that work towards publication does go forward with Asli Özdogan in charge of the Prehistoric laboratory in Istanbul University. She is still hopeful that she is going to resume excavation on Çayönü in the near future. Meanwhile she is excavating a site not too far from Çayönü to test the general situation.
Isabella Caneva and her Italian colleagues have been moving forward on the large bulk of chipped flint and obsidian. Unfortunately, they can only leave their work in Italy to come out to Istanbul for several short study periods each year. The Prehistoric Project has been able to pay the small monthly sums needed that make it possible for Çiler and Güner, the two Turkish women, to keep working on the chipped stone in their absence. They were thrilled to be sent to the chipped stone symposium Isabella held in Venice last November. There they were able to meet chipped stone specialists from all over Europe and the United States. They also presented their first papers, which were well received.
Gülçin and Banu, the two Turkish women who first began to work on animal bones under Berrin, are also doing very well. After Berrin's tragic death, both women wanted to keep working on sorting and learning about the bones that had been excavated. So when Richard Meadow of Harvard and his graduate student Hitomi Hongo (Ph.D., Harvard) took over the bone study, the women were needed. As we reported in an earlier Annual Report, Richard received a grant from the National Science Foundation for the work on Çayönü, and Hitomi, who now has a permanent position in a Japanese research Institute, was permitted to use Çayönü as her research study. This means that she can come out to Istanbul for two or three long study sessions each year and also supervise the women's work. Both Banu and Gülçin have been able to specialize on an animal (red deer and cattle) so they were able to obtain their master's degrees from Istanbul University. Richard Meadow is trying to find a way so that each woman can eventually get a higher degree in zooarchaeology in Europe or the United States. This will undoubtedly prove too difficult financially. They must first have more English lessons (or the needed European language).
There is still work to be done to straighten out some of the details of the Çayönü stratigraphy - this needs to be done by the three staff members, Asl1, Erhan, and Mike Davis. We are hoping that Mike will be able to leave his pet project in New York (that of getting people back to using the New York harbor for rowing) this winter to spend several weeks in Istanbul working on the stratigraphy.
Before we close, we want to thank warmly all the friends of the Prehistoric Project for their continued interest and support.

"I love this card. Super cute design and it is perfect for out theme we wanted for our shower. The paper is a nice thickness and very good quality! All the graphics and words are very clear and look great. My only con was that there is not a spot to list where you are registered. I just made a label and glued to back. Overall this is a great product and great quality!!"
"It was a difficult purchase ONLY for the fact that there were so many beautiful invitations and fonts to choose from. This invitation turned out great. Its cardstock is thick and the colors are bright. Purchase was completed without a hitch! I definitely recommend this product."
"This is a beautiful invitation. The card stock is heavy and the texture is smooth. Others had said the print was hard to read but I didn't find it that way. I will indeed order again from Tiny Prints."
"I was having a woodland creature themed baby shower, so when I came across and ordered these invitations I was thrilled! Family and friends called to say how adorable the announcements were, and it's a great baby book keepsake. I loved how even though the theme can be gender neutral these were still feminine and elegant. The ones I had sent directly to me were slightly bent in my mail box because they were shipped in a cardboard envelope mailer instead of a box. However, I had most of the invites sent out directly to invitees from the site, and I was impressed at how quickly people received them. The bent ones I received were extras and keepsakes, and probably didn't get box mailing because there were so few of them."
"This was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints and I am so impressed with not only the quality of the invitations but also the envelopes and customer service. I got my shipment very quickly and my order was exactly right. I will be using Tiny Prints for all of my printing needs. Can't beat the quality and quickness of delivery."

We often hear passionate arguments about how American students have too much homework, or too little. But I believe that we ought to be asking a different question altogether. What should matter to parents and educators is this: How effectively do children's after-school assignments advance learning?
The evidence suggests that as of now, homework isn't making the grade. Although surveys show that the amount of time our children spend on homework has risen over the past three decades, American students are mired in the middle of international academic rankings: 17th in reading, 23rd in science, and 31st in math, according to the latest results from the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). In a 2008 survey, one-third of parents polled rated the quality of their children's homework assignments as fair or poor, and four in ten said they believed that some or a great deal of homework is busywork. A recent study, published in the Economics of Education Review, reports that homework in science, English and history has "little to no impact" on students' test scores. (The authors did note a positive effect for math homework.)
(MORE: School Has Become Too Hostile to Boys)
Fortunately, research is available to help parents, teachers and school administrators make homework smarter, although these particular innovations have yet to be applied outside the classroom. A new discipline, known as Mind, Brain and Education, has recently emerged that is devoted to understanding and improving how people absorb, retain and apply knowledge. A collaboration between psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis and teachers at nearby Columbia Middle School, for example, lifted seventh- and eighth-grade students' science and social studies test scores by 13 to 25 percent. The field's methods may seem unfamiliar and even counterintuitive, but they are simple to understand and easy to carry out. After-school assignments are ripe for the kind of improvements this new science can offer.
"Spaced repetition" is one example of the kind of evidence-based technique that researchers have found has a positive impact on students' learning. Here's how it works: instead of concentrating the study of information in large one-shot doses, as many homework assignments currently do—reading about, say, the Civil War one evening, and Reconstruction the next—learners encounter the same material in briefer sessions spread out over a longer period of time. With this approach, students would be re-exposed to information about the Civil War and Reconstruction in their homework a number of times during the semester. It sounds unassuming, but spaced repetition produces impressive results. Eighth-grade history students who tried a spaced approach to learning had nearly double the retention rate of students who studied the same material in a consolidated unit, reported researchers from the University of California-San Diego in 2007. The reason the method works so well goes back to the brain: when we first acquire memories, they are volatile, subject to change or to disappear. Exposing ourselves to information repeatedly over time fixes it more permanently in our minds, by strengthening the representation of the information that is embedded in our neural networks.
(MORE: The Problem with Prize Culture)
A second learning technique, known as "retrieval practice," employs a familiar tool—the test—in a new way: not to assess what students know, but to reinforce it. We often conceive of memory as something like a storage tank, and a test as a kind of dipstick that measures how much information we've put in there. But that's not actually how the brain works. Every time we pull up a memory, we make it stronger and more lasting—so that testing doesn't just measure, it changes. Simply reading over material to be learned, or even taking notes and making outlines, as many homework assignments require, doesn't have this effect. In one experiment, language learners who employed the retrieval practice strategy to study vocabulary words remembered 80 percent of the words they studied, while learners who used conventional study methods remembered only about a third of them. Study subjects who used retrieval practice to learn from a science textbook retained about 50 percent more of the material than those who studied in traditional ways, reported researchers from Purdue University in 2011. [10] Students—and parents—may groan at the prospect of more tests, but the self-quizzing involved in retrieval practice need not provoke any anxiety. It's simply an effective way to focus less on the input of knowledge (passively reading over textbooks and notes) and more on its output (calling up that same information from one's own brain).
Another common misconception about how we learn can render homework much less effective than it might be. Most of us assume that if information feels easy to absorb, we've learned it well. In fact, just the opposite is true. When we work hard to understand information, we recall it better; the extra effort expended signals the brain that this knowledge is worth keeping. This phenomenon, known as cognitive disfluency, promotes learning so effectively that psychologists have devised all manner of "desirable difficulties" to introduce into the learning process: for example, sprinkling a passage with punctuation mistakes, deliberately leaving out letters, shrinking font size until it's tiny, or wiggling a document while it's being copied so that the words come out blurry. Teachers are unlikely to start sending students home with smudged or error-filled worksheets, but there's another kind of desirable difficulty—called interleaving—that can readily be applied to homework. An interleaved assignment mixes up different kinds of situations or problems to be practiced, instead of grouping them by type. When students can't tell in advance what kind of knowledge or problem-solving strategy will be required to answer a question, their brains have to work harder to come up with the solution—and the result is that they learn the material more thoroughly.
A study published in 2010 in the journal Applied Cognitive Psychology asked fourth-graders to work on solving four types of math problems, and then to take a test evaluating how well they had learned. The scores of those whose practice problems were mixed up were more than double the scores of those students who had practiced one kind of problem at a time. The effectiveness of interleaving has been demonstrated many times in the laboratory, yet real-world homework assignments still commonly present problems of a single type together.
Homework has long been an academic laggard, slow to adopt scientifically-supported approaches to learning. No wonder it's assailed by critics on all sides, whether they believe homework is piled on too heavily or given too sparingly. Maybe the heated debates about the amount of homework children are assigned would cool if it became clear that the homework was effectively advancing their learning. At our resource-strapped public schools, the application of such research-based strategies to homework is an untapped opportunity. Science has shown us how to turn homework into a potent catalyst for learning. Our assignment now is to make it happen.

text: by Elizabeth Ruiz He had six challengers, but Mayor Julian Castro easily won a third term with more than 66 percent of the votes in the San Antonio city elections Saturday. City Councilwoman Leticia Ozuna was ousted by small business owner Rebecca Viagran. "The community came out and they worked hard. I'm just so proud," Viagran told 550 KTSA News. Ozuna was appointed in January of 2012 to fill the unexpired term of Jennifer Ramos, who resigned to run for Bexar County Commissioner. Viagran vows to be more accessible to constituents in District 3. "To bring everyone into the fold, from the new precincts, to those who feel they've been ignored," she said. District 5 Councilman David Medina is in a runoff against pawn shop owner Shirley Gonzales. The two-term councilman got more than 38 percent of the votes, while Gonzales finished with 31 percent. "We're looking forward to the race. We're embracing it and we know exactly what we need to do," he said. Medina was plagued by attacks on his poor attendance record at city council meetings, but he told 550 KTSA News, he's the better candidate. "I have four years of experience serving District 5 and I have worked to serve this community in a way that has reduced the crime rate by about 10 percent," he said. In district 8 where Reed Williams chose not to seek re-election, there'll be a runoff between Ron Nirenberg and Rolando Briones. Nirenberg got 49 percent of the votes and Briones finished with 45 percent. Briones was the subject of numerous attacks, including his firing several years ago by the San Antonio Water System. He says he'll stick to the issues. "I want this to be a race my family can be proud of. We're in control of what we can do and that's our commitment in this race," said Briones. He expressed disappointment in a low voter turnout Saturday. "It's always sad to see that there aren't more people involved in the process," he said. Briones says he'll work to get more people to the polls for the June 15th runoff election. Elisa Chan has won a third term in district 9. That's despite a recent controversy over a land purchase for a new city library adjacent to property owned by her firm. Chan originally failed to disclose that information to her colleages and the council last month rescinded the vote on the land purchase. Chan says the "people of District 9 have spoken" by giving her 79 percent of the votes in Saturday's election. She says basic services are her priority "Public safety and infrastructure, but also to make sure that the city of San Antonio continues to have a very vibrant economic climate," she said. Chan told 550 KTSA News that she'll continue to be an independent voice on the city council against wasteful spending.

I've heard Jeffrey Steingarten, on Iron Chef America, mention that he finds honey quite bitter. I've never noticed that myself. Maybe if I really try I can notice a slight bitter finish, but for me the sweetness and floral aroma dominates. Is honey actually bitter in some quantifiable sense? Are some particular varieties of honey better known for this characteristic?

It depends on what the bees had for lunch :) . Acacia honey is extremely sweet, with no bitter aftertaste. Chestnut honey (easy to find in Italy, don't know about elsewhere) is dark and has a strong bitter note. I personally love how the bittersweet goes with butter and bread, but some people hate it. Generic polyflower honey usually does not have a bitter note.
I also notice it myself, and it varies depending on the flowers and region. I read that there is a bitter honey from Sardinia, Miele Amaro.
Honey from chestnut flowers is very bitter.
I find honey's bitterness is in the aftertaste. I also find it--except in very cheap grades of honey--extremely pleasant. And useful when building flavour profiles in a dish.
