Blending Modes
The most powerful image tool to be added to the FotoFusion family in a long time, blending modes allow you to enhance your images in unique and beautiful ways.
Image blending modes can be applied to a single photo or "mixed in" with the canvas using background modes to create stunning overlaid results. Effect presets transform images in one-click, while advanced settings allow you to adjust blending options and create your own recipes. The possibilities are endless!
Unsharp Mask
In addition to blending modes, FotoFusion 5.4 also adds Unsharp Mask to our expanding collection of image editing tools.
At a basic level this tool helps enhance the apparent sharpness of an image, but can also be used to "defog" images by adding micro contrast to them. A great tool to use along side blending modes.
Rounded Corners
FotoFusion v5.3 introduces image frame borders with support for shapes like diamonds, circles and ovals.
You can control the amount of curvature for round frames or cutaway for angled corners. All the border functionality (colors, width, opacity, etc.) you expect works with these new border styles.
Web Albums
Make a project…click one button…and Bam! Your project shows up as a digital album on an iPad – or an iPhone – or an android device – or in a PC or Mac web browser. Click here to see an example.
Flip from page to page like a book, jump to any page, or share it by email, Facebook or Twitter – the album will be available for 30 days from when you published it. Share your family vacation with friends – send a proof to the bride – present your portfolio to customers. V5 users can publish as many online web albums as they like, at no charge. Enjoy!
Mac Support
We heard many times: "FotoFusion is the only reason I still use a PC". We listened, and FotoFusion is now ready on the Mac.
V5 on the Mac has feature parity with V5 on the PC. That means that we didn't strip features out of the PC version when we created the Mac version – a common shortcut to getting Mac versions out faster. The Mac version has evolved since first release and is now as fast as the PC version on comparable hardware – in some cases, it's faster.
Insanely Powerful Text
FotoFusion now includes killer text layout features. We've completely rebuilt the text engine and it's now a serious beast.
In-canvas "WYSIWYG" editing, per-character text attributes (font, color, rotation, skew, offset, pair kerning, effects including embossing) and per-paragraph effects (text in a shape, right-to-left (Hebrew/Arabic/Mandarin).
Vector PDF export
When you render to PSD you get layers. When you render to PDF you get multiple pages, and now in v5, you also get vector text output. This means that text looks great at any resolution – even very fine text is rendered with as much precision as you can imagine.
Improved User Interface
FotoFusion is prettier, and will continue to improve as v5 matures. When you start v5, you'll notice that the v4 wheel has been replaced with a wizard-like UI that streamlines the process of matching a form factor to your choice of templates. Use the full power of FotoFusion's retargetable templates: design a wedding album for a Graphistudio® book, then do a bride's version using Blurb®.
Layout Flipping
Ever wanted to flip a layout left/right? We have two modes: with and without flipping the pictures. One click. Oh thank goodness.
Project Versioning
Go back in time and load earlier versions of projects, listed out by date and time.
Lose power or shut down unexpectedly? FotoFusion now includes auto save and crash restore. Never worry about losing a single edit.
Rock Solid Performance
The FotoFusion engine was used as the basis for YearbookFusion, LumaPix's software for building yearbooks. It has been a runaway success. Two years of heavy bashing by schools taught us a lot about getting maximum performance out of machines with limited resources. Now, all the performance and stabilization enhancements from that work is available in the core FotoFusion product.
And it shows – you'll find FotoFusion v5 significantly faster, stabler, and more cleanly installed than v4.
Free v5 upgrades
Upgrade to v5 today and watch as our updates continue. Just as we did with v4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc – "dot" releases will be free. You'll have free upgrades to the great new features that will be dropped into the product as V5 continues to improve over the months and years ahead.

Climbing Accident: Three Killed in Cairngorms
Three people have died in an avalanche in Scotland's Cairngorms. This, after four climbers died in an avalanche near Glenco on January 19.
The recent incident occurred in the Chalamain Gap area. The three were buried under nine to 12 feet of snow. Two of the victims, a man and a woman, died soon after being airlifted to the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. The third climber, a man, died from his injuries later in the day. Nine other people were injured in the slide. The avalanche danger had been noted as considerable by the Sportscotland Avalanche Information Service, due to warming conditions, which the Cairngorm Adventure Guides noted on their website as "like spring at times." In 2011, 21 climbers died in Scotland's mountains.

May 6, 2016
Bainbridge, GA- Investigators with Bainbridge Public Safety are searching for three men who approached three adults and a child with guns on Monday afternoon, demanding money.
When the victims told them that they didn't have any money, the men tied them up inside the house with shoelaces and electrical wire.
A fourth adult came home mid robbery and told investigators she was then sexually assaulted.
"She basically states she walked into the door. They confront her with a gun. They put her on the floor. They cut the blue jean material from the rear of her pants and actually touched her in inappropriate ways," said Major Robert Humphrey with Bainbridge Public Safety.
The suspects then took off with $500 in a vehicle belonging to one of the victims. Investigators later found that vehicle abandoned a few blocks away from the home.
Investigators say the suspects were wearing hoods so they have little information about their appearances.
"It was indicated by the witnesses there that they knew they were black males because of the fact of the eye openings; they could actually see the black skin around their eyes and they felt like they were young, 19, 20, 21 year-olds," said Humphrey.
Investigators say judging by what witnesses and the victims told them, they believe this house was targeted. Investigators say the suspects made comments to the victims during the attack that only someone who knew them would know.
A silver Ford Focus was also seen leaving the area of the crime scene.
Anyone with information should contact investigators with Bainbridge Public Safety immediately at 229-515-0973.

Gracefully Growing Up In Laurelhurst
Architect Michael Howells adds a second story master suite that doesn't intimidate this 1923 bungalow's neighbors.
The same day the new owner got the keys to his 1923 Laurelhurst bungalow, he was walking through the house with his architect, discussing how they would add on to the second floor and create a master suite. The house was a clean, blank slate, in immaculate condition, but the owner knew he needed to furnish it, and that its modest size needed to be amplified – without antagonizing the neighbors.
Before too long, architect Michael Howells had provided the new owner with room not only to stretch out upstairs but also to create music in a sound proof room in the basement, where he can max the volume to 11 without the neighbors even noticing. And they'd furnished the home with a calm, complementary mix of arts and crafts, modernist and contemporary pieces, all very traditional and classical in their simple lines and solid materials.
The owner had some Koa wood pieces from his family's time spent in Hawaii, including some live edge slabs. and these became a theme throughout the house in its addition and the decor of the rooms. The slate is anything but blank now, but the immaculate house is a home to be lived in and to evolve over the years. (Architect and owner are still discussing…!)

"Latin is a precise, essential language. It will be abandoned, not because it is unsuitable for the new requirements of progress, but because the new men will not be suitable for it. When the age of demagogues and charlatans begins, a language like Latin will no longer be useful, and any oaf will be able to give a speech in public and talk in such a way that he will not be kicked off the stage. The secret to this will consist in the fact that, by making use of words that are general, elusive, and sound good, he will be able to speak for an hour without saying anything. With Latin, this is impossible."

"We as Catholics have not properly combated (the culture) because we have not been taught our Catholic Faith, especially in the depth needed to address these grave evils of our time. This is a failure of catechesis both of children and young people that has been going on for fifty years. It is being addressed, but it needs much more radical attention... What has also contributed greatly to the situation is an exaltation of the virtue of tolerance which is falsely seen as the virtue which governs all other virtues. In other words, we should tolerate other people in their immoral actions to the extent that we seem also to accept the moral wrong. Tolerance is a virtue, but it is certainly not the principal virtue; the principal virtue is charity... Charity means speaking the truth. I have encountered it (not speaking the truth) many times myself as a priest and bishop. It is something we simply need to address. There is far too much silence — people do not want to talk about it because the topic is not 'politically correct.' But we cannot be silent any longer."
Raymond Card. Burke

The Catholic Church is the exponent of Reality. It is true. Its doctrines in matters large and small are statements of what is. . . .My conclusion – and that of all men who have ever once seen it – is the faith. Corporate, organized, a personality, teaching. A thing, not a theory. It."
Hilaire Belloc to G.K. Chesterton
"In assessing Our duty and the situation now prevailing, We have been weighed upon by the thought that a matter of this kind [i.e. error in respect of the Faith] is so grave and so dangerous that the Roman Pontiff, who is the representative upon earth of God and our God and Lord Jesus Christ, who holds the fullness of power over peoples and kingdoms, who may judge all and be judged by none in this world, may nonetheless be contradicted if he be found to have deviated from the Faith.

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

"One of the most dangerous errors is that civilization is automatically bound to increase and spread. The lesson of history is the opposite; civilization is a rarity, attained with difficulty and easily lost. The normal state of humanity is barbarism, just as the normal surface of the planet is salt water. Land looms large in our imagination and civilization in history books, only because sea and savagery are to us less interesting."

The Declasse Burrito is a van which appears in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, and Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA Vice City — Vice City Stories
The GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, and GTA Vice City Stories renditions resemble a 1979-1993 Dodge Ram Van, similar to the GTA III Rumpo (the Rumpo remained available in GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas, but took on a new design. The Burrito, unlike the Rumpo, is rear-wheel drive instead of front-wheel). The GTA Vice City and GTA San Andreas Burritos are available with or without a spoiler and roof-mounted lights; these features are standard on all Burritos in GTA Vice City Stories. The Burrito in GTA Vice City Stories features two-tone body colors, unlike the other renditions.
GTA IV — GTA Chinatown WarsThe Burrito is reintroduced in GTA IV in a redesigned form, bearing a Declasse brand. It resembles a 1996-2002 Chevrolet Express from the front, with a significantly altered grille design; the sides are primarily derived from the third-generation Chevrolet Van (the creases on the sides have been wrongly interpreted as seams), with some of the more modern styling of the Express; the rear is also derived from the third-generation Chevrolet Van, apart from the taillights, which resemble those of the Dodge Ram Van. The standard Burrito no longer features the sporty accessories; in GTA IV, these are seen only on the Gang Burrito. Companies which use the Burrito include T. Watt and Sons Electricians, Spin on This Laundromat, LibEl and Pharte Gas.
The Burrito in GTA Chinatown Wars appears to be based to an extent on Burrito in GTA IV, with a utilitarian appearance and a similarly poor performance. However, the van lacks a roof rack, and its color scheme appear more diverse, with some featuring company liveries encompassing the entire body of the vehicle, including FlyUS, Sprunk, Eris, Burger Shot and Ranch.
In the Grand Theft Auto V trailer 1, a redesigned Burrito appears, being used in a robbery. Its sides and rear are strongly reminiscent of a 1996 Chevrolet Van, while the tail lights are reminiscent of a Chevrolet Express/GMC Savana, much like the Speedo. However, the front of the van is not shown in the trailer. In recently released artwork, the front of the van is also shown, also assuming a Speedo-type design.
The Burrito is widely considered to be the best van in the 3D Universe. Its powerful engine, which appears to be a gas V8 (in every version except in SA, which it seems to be a six-cylinder diesel) grants it moderately good speed and acceleration, its sporty suspension leads to stable handling, steering and braking, and its bulky body gives it good endurance. It can carry four people, making it useful when bringing allies to a fight, although it's large frame can make it any easy target for gunfire. It is also fun to drive, with independent rear suspension that makes drifting and power-sliding easy (although it is easy to spin out and crash) and often causes the rear inside wheel to lift off the ground for some stylish showboating.
GTA IV - GTA Chinatown Wars
The GTA IV Burrito has degraded performance; it is not as fast as previous renditions, and, although its extra mass allows it to withstand more damage, this gives it poor acceleration. Nonetheless, the Burrito is the fastest vehicle in the "Van" class, reaching a top speed of 164 mph (266 km/h).
FaceliftIn Grand Theft Auto V, there is two versions of the Burrito, the IV and the new shape seen in the mission Pest Control (GTA V).
Gang Burrito
GTA Vice City and The Lost and Damned
The Burrito is adopted as a gang vehicle in both GTA Vice City and The Lost and Damned. Known as the Gang Burrito, the variant features additional modifications, including unique accessories and custom paint-jobs. The TLAD Gang Burrito also reintroduces certain sporty accessories omitted during the development of the Burrito in GTA IV.
GTA Chinatown Wars
The Burrito in GTA Chinatown Wars may also appear in the form of gang-owned drug vans, known simply as "Burritos", which appear on the streets of respectable gang territories (except the Triads) upon completion of "Carpe Dime". Four types of the vans may also appear during "Excess Delivery" submissions.
The gang Burritos are closely associated with the Drug Dealing side quest in the game, being used as transport to smuggle drugs hidden in cubby-holes on the door; after "Carpe Dime", players may steal one from the streets, drive a to a secluded safehouse, and check for drugs, before they are finally allowed to store the van in a garage. The vans are actually similar in performance to a conventional Burrito, but they can do burnouts and appear with unique gang colors and accessories, similar to those seen on their other gang cars; the Midtown Gang's Burrito is the only Burrito which is smaller than other forms of Burritos. There is also a pink-and-white Algonquin Triads variant of the Burrito, but the van is unavailable normally, and must be spawned using a garage editor. The Triads Burrito features unique lower cladding, under-body lighting, and a high roof.
Of interesting note is the Angels of Death's Burrito: if the player manages to hijack one, it will be called an Angel, rather than Burrito. This is most likely a programming error. It was previously thought to be a glitch, but the AOD vans are called Angel in all versions and copies of the game, and there have never been any reports of hijacking one with the name "Burrito."
There is a bulletproof, explosion-proof, fireproof, and damage-proof Spanish Lords Burrito located at the Spanish Lords' warehouse which Huang raids during the mission Kenny Strikes Back. Note that this Burrito only spawns when the player finishes Kenny Strikes Back. In order to get it, the player must park a bike very next to the gate and jump diagonally so the player can jump into the warehouse without playing the side-mission. Inside the warehouse, the Spanish Lords will not shoot you even if you attack. Unlike when the mission is normally played, the van is started by a screwdriver instead of disabling an immobilizer. However, if you do the mission while the Burrito is being used, the Burrito lose all its armor. If put it in the garage, it will lose the damage-proof, fireproof, and explosion-proof effects, only the bulletproof effect is retained. The only way to destroy it is to drive into the water or turn it upside-down, or store it in a garage (to make it lose some armor) and destroy it by damaging, burning, or exploding it.
Yellow Burrito
A Burrito with a unique yellow paint-job can be acquired in GTA San Andreas. To obtain it, start the mission "Mike Toreno" and get to the point where T-Bone and Mike start shooting at the van. Their bullets will not damage the van, allowing the player time to acquire a Tow Truck/Tractor. Once the player obtains one, they can kill T-Bone or Mike, failing the mission, and leaving the vehicle free to be towed to the nearest garage.
A special model of the Burrito in GTA IV, dubbed the Laundromat, is used by the Laundromat owner who attempts to escape from Niko in Vlad's mission Hung Out to Dry. If the player goes around the back of the Laundromat during the mission, it can be stolen and saved at a safehouse. It also appears in Meltdown. It is merely a Burrito without the standard roof rack, and with "Monthly Cycle Laundromat" markings.
Brown and yellow Burrito
In GTA Chinatown Wars, players may acquire a unique brown and yellow Burrito from Melanie Mallard, by having her killed in one of her missions.
Journey Style Burrito (GTA V)
In a screenshot for GTA V, a street preacher is standing next to an RV (likely the Journey, from San Andreas), and the front looks similar to the Burrito.
Tour Bus Style Burrito (GTA V)
A tour bus in GTA V, has the same front as a Burrito and is manufactured by Brute.
- "Burrito" literally means "small donkey" in spanish and Portuguese.
- A vehicle resembling the Burrito can be found in Rockstar North's Manhunt and Manhunt 2.
- The Burrito plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Radio Los Santos in GTA San Andreas.
- Liberty City Hardcore in GTA IV.
- With the roof lights and spoiler installed, the Burrito bears a strong resemblance to the van used in the 1980s TV show The A-Team.
- This is the fastest van for GTA IV online races.
- Beta Burritos appear as wrecks in GTA IV with a different grille and headlight design. They are found outside Colony Island's old hospital and in Bohan at the car scrapyard, however it's not drivable.
- The Burrito is possibly named after the food item of the same name.
- An updated version of the Burrito is seen bearing a Bugstars paintjob in the GTA V trailer.
- Oddly the car has lower ground clearance in GTA SA and GTA VCS than in GTA VC.
- It was the predecessor of Speedo, as the car was resembling Chevrolet Express Van.
GTA San Andreas
- Often found in industrial areas, such as Easter Basin, and Ocean Docks.
- Sometimes found near Los Santos International Airport.
- Parked before a Kakagawa depot loading bay in LVA Freight Depot.
- The Special Yellow Burrito can be obtained in Mike Toreno.
- As with the Rumpo it can sometimes be spawned in Hunter Quarry.
- Often seen driving on the roads around Fort Carson and El Quebrados.
- Can always be found parked at the Fallen Tree.
GTA Vice City Stories
- Parked next to a row of buildings across InterGlobal Films. Near it is an alley which has a Flamethrower pickup in it.
- Sometimes it is seen in the Ocean Beach area.
GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City
- Found parked near the Multistory carpark in Westdyke, Alderney.
- Parked in an alley between Franklin St and Plumbers Skyway, Leftwood, Alderney. Where the "safehouse" for Gracie was.
- Parked by the side of the Leftwood Community Hall in Leftwood, Alderney

Question details
I was watching a scandinavian cooking show and the host pulled some white roots that looked like parsnips out of a garden to cook with. He said they were Parsley Root. Has anyone here grown or cooked with them? What can you tell us about them?
We are currently growing some. They are growing much more slowly than I had anticipated. However, I just had to plant some, since they are next to impossible to find in stores here, and they are one of my favorite root vegetables. They have a lovely sweet/nutty/parsley flavor and go extremely well with fish. Bonus: you can use the leaves too -- the leaves taste just like regular parsley.
I planted some this year and am leaving them in the ground for now, as we are having such a mild fall. I cut them up in chunks and roast them with similar sized pieces of carrots, onions, white potatoes, sweet potatoes and/or winter squash tossed with a little olive oil to coat. With salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon when they are done, they are really tasty. My mom used to dip finger sized pieces in beaten egg and then flour and fry them--also yummy.
I tried 3 new things this year: parsley root, celeraic & leeks. Direct sowed instead of starting inside as packet advised. The parsley root has done wonderfully. Very large roots, mostly straight except for the ones I didn't thin enough, that curled around each other. No problems with pests. So far I've just used them in soups and stews. I don't peel the roots, just scrub them well and remove any stray root hairs. Will definitely be planting them again next year.

Row in pub after revellers watched Chelsea v Bayern Munich match led to Dollis Hill killing
12:19 21 May 2012
Victim had seen the Champions League final at the Ox and Gate pub before he was stabbed
A man who was stabbed to death in Dollis Hill was attacked after a row in a pub spilled out into the street on Saturday night.
Luke Fitzpatrick, 25, had been watching the Champions League final at the Ox and Gate pub in Oxgate Lane, shortly before he was killed at 11.30pm.
His 56-year-old father Bernie was also knifed as he tried to save his son.
He is in hospital in a serious but stable condition.
Mr Fitzpatrick had been in the pub with his friends watching the match between Chelsea and Bayern Munich before a row broke out.
He was stabbed in Crest Road at the junction of Alder Grove and died at the scene.
A post mortem carried at Northwick Park Hospital revealed he died of a stab wound.
Detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
DCI Tim Duffield, who is heading the murder hunt, said: "We urgently need to hear from anyone who was in or near the Ox and Gate pub around 11.30pm that evening.
"The pub was still very busy at that time, and we are confident that several people will have seen elements of what happened - we urge them to come forward and contact the incident room.
"If they wish to remain anonymous they may call Crimestoppers."
Anyone with information should call the incident room on 020 8358 0400 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
Two 17-year-old boys and a 31-year-old man have been arrested in connection with the double stabbing.
The man has been bailed to return to a police station next month.
The two teenagers are still in custody.

Video: Milton High School Basketball put on probation
MILTON, Ga. -- The Georgia High School Association has made public its findings into the allegations that former Milton High School basketball coach David Boyd exerted "undue influence" to gain transfer student athletes from other schools and states.
RELATED | Milton HS basketball coach resigns
The following is the finding released by the GHSA Tuesday afternoon:
The Georgia High School Association has placed the boys' basketball program at Milton High School on probation for the 2012-13 season for violating GHSA rules in regard to "undue influence." This means the Milton team will not be eligible to participate in the Region Tournament or the State Tournament. The program will be on "Severe Warning Status" for the 2013-2014 season, but will be eligible for post-season play. Additionally, Milton High School was fined an undisclosed amount.
The GHSA defines "undue influence" as things done by one or more people associated directly or indirectly with a member school to induce or facilitate the transfer of a student to that school. Undue influence can occur even when there is no evidence of recruitment. In those circumstances, no school personnel initiated the conversation about transferring schools, but school personnel did engage in actions that induced and/or facilitated the transfer.
There was no evidence discovered that former Milton Coach David Boyd initiated contact with prospective transfer students and/or their parents or guardians. This investigation found no evidence that any of the transfer students mentioned in this matter had failed to have a bona fide move into the Milton service area. Therefore, all the students mentioned in this investigation are eligible to compete at the varsity level in the upcoming 2012-13 season.
Some of the undue influence issues involved using the school's summer workouts as a way to evaluate the talents of non-students who were considering transferring to Milton, facilitating the housing arrangements of families moving into the area, and offering help with communication about a student's collegiate possibilities before the player was a student at Milton.
11Alive has asked Milton and Fulton County Schools for reactions to the ruling.

May 5, 2016
Police say a woman was jailed on child abuse charges after she threw several objects at a young child in her house.
Pitt County Detention Center Deputies told WITN 26-year-old Nakema Telford was arrested by Greenville police around 1:30 a.m. Monday.
Telford is now facing charges of misdemeanor child abuse and assaulting a child under the age of 12.
A police spokeswoman says Telford was highly intoxicated at the time, while the child was not hit by any of the objects. A police report said it happened at a residence on Kristin Drive.

Habitat Conditions
Channel Alterations
For the most part, there have been no significant channel alterations within the Spring River Tributaries Watershed. Based on comparison of 1971 and 1995 aerial photos of the West Plains area, as well as personal observations, some channel alterations undoubtably have occurred in this area as a result of urban expansion and development. However, it is difficult to estimate the time and extent of channel alterations in this portion of the watershed. Small channelization projects have probably occurred elsewhere on private property and also from road and bridge construction. However, it is difficult to estimate the extent to which this has affected the watershed. Since 1995 there have been fourteen 404 permitted operations within the watershed. Seven of these have involved bridge work (Table Hc01 and Figure Wq02)(USACOE 1999). According to the Missouri Department of Transportation Highway and Bridge Construction Schedule, there currently (11/6/98) are 2 state highway projects involving bridge work scheduled within the watershed from 1999-2003 (Table Hc02).
Natural Features
In the late 1980s and early 1990s the Missouri Department of Conservation inventoried counties within the Spring River Tributaries Watershed for unique natural features (Nigh 1988; Ryan and Smith 1991). The inventories recognized seven categories of natural features: examples of undisturbed natural communities, habitat of rare or endangered species, habitat of relict species, outstanding geological formations, areas for nature studies, other unique features, and special aquatic areas having good water quality, flora, and fauna. Since this effort other natural features have been added to what is now the Missouri Natural Heritage Database. Currently the database contains 97 features for the Spring River Tributaries Watershed. These include 13 examples of 8 types of presettlement terrestrial natural communities: Dry-mesic chert prairie-1, Fen-1, Flatwoods-1, Freshwater marsh-1, Pond shrub swamp-4, Prairie fen-3, Wet prairie-1, Wet-mesic prairie-1.
A detailed description of these terrestrial natural communities can be found in The Terrestrial Natural Communities of Missouri by Nelson (1987). Due to the large percentage of privately owned land and thus limited access within the watershed, it is probable that other unknown examples of these terrestrial natural communities exist within the watershed.
Improvement Projects
Currently there is one Missouri Department of Conservation stream habitat improvement project in the Spring River Tributaries Watershed. This project is a cedar tree revetment constructed in 1992 at White Ranch Conservation Area. The purpose of the project is to reduce stream bank erosion on a portion of the South Fork of the Spring River.
Stream Habitat Assessment
Perhaps one of the more difficult attributes of a watershed to attempt to quantify is stream habitat. This is due to the fact that there are several dynamic characteristics which make up stream habitat. To evaluate all of these characteristics individually and accurately for an entire watershed is a monumental task. Thus, the next best thing is to evaluate a characteristic that has the most impact on all aspects of stream habitat. This is ,arguably, riparian corridor land cover/land use. Riparian corridor land cover/land use has many effects on characteristics stream habitat. These include, but are not limited to water temperature, turbidity, nutrient loading, sand/gravel deposition, instream cover, flow, and channel width and stability. These in turn have effects on still other characteristic of stream habitat such as dissolved oxygen, spawning habitat, etc.
Evaluation of riparian corridor land cover/land use within the Spring River Tributaries Watershed was accomplished using Missouri Resource Assessment Partnership Phase 1 Land Use Data (morapmd.wpd). A buffer zone 3 pixels (90 meters) wide was created which corresponded to a 1:100,000 hydrography coverage for the watershed. This was split into segments no longer than 0.25 miles long (Caldwell, personal communication). Percent land cover/land use for each segment was then calculated. Land cover/land use categories included forest, woodland, grassland, cropland, urban, and water. Percentages of these categories were then calculated for riparian corridors within each of the 12 fourteen digit hydrologic units within the watershed as well as the whole watershed. Results for the entire watershed indicate that corridor land cover/land use consists of slightly more forest/woodland (49.8%) than grassland/cropland (48.1%). Combined percentages for the remaining categories are less than 3% of the total riparian corridor land use in the watershed. The Upper Warm Fork Unit had the highest amount of forested corridor at 55.6 %. While the Upper Howell Creek Unit had the highest percentage of Grassland at 60.1 %. Upper Howell Creek also had the highest percentage of urban land within the corridor at 11.4% (Table Hc03 and Figure Hc01). It is important to note due to the generally impervious nature of the urban landscape, the associated high amount of runoff can increase the tendency of streams to flash flood. It is also important when considering the effects of storm water runoff which can transport many different types of pollutants.
As with many Ozark streams, water temperatures within the Spring River Tributaries Watershed are significantly affected by springs in many places. In an effort to determine the extent of coldwater influence, instantaneous temperature readings were taken at many stream crossings within the watershed during the summers of 1996-1998. In addition, long term temperature monitors (thermographs) were deployed at 11 sites within the watershed in the summer of 1997 and at 14 sites in the summer of 1998. The period of record ranged between 24 and 77 days. The thermographs were programmed to record a water temperature every 2 hours. Data was analyzed based on the percent of 24 hour periods within the period of record that had a minimum temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or less. Four sites had a minimum temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or less for all 24 hour periods in the period of record in both 1997 and 1998. Site B86, which had records for one summer(1998), also had minimum temperatures of 70 degrees Fahrenheit or less for all 24 hour periods within the period of record (Table Hc04, Figures Hc02 and Hc03).

Encaenia 2013 Mixes Pomp with Quips

The annual awards ceremony offers one of the lighter moments of graduation.
Photo by Bruce Gilbert
Melding irreverence with solemnity through speeches by the Lord of the Manor and the class valedictorian, Fordham College at Rose Hill (FCRH) celebrated an age-old tradition with its Encaenia awards ceremony on May 17.
Fordham's Lord of the Manor is an adaptation of Oxford University's
Terrae Filius
, who played the role of jester to lighten the gravitas of ceremonial awarding of the school's highest achievers. This year's Lord of the Manor, Michael Drosos, tipped plenty a sacred cow in his romp through Rose Hill's quirks.
Of the many University tics and quirks that Drosos lampooned, he spent good deal of time comparing housing policies to a variety of board games, which Residential Life already calls "Fordhamopoly," but he said should be dubbed "Sorry." His version garnered considerable applause.
Drosos also poked fun at the building name changes that occurred during the students' time on campus—Alumni Court Hall, which became Loschert Hall, the College of Business Administration, which became Gabelli School of Business, and "Ziggy's Sports Bar, which became Ziggy's Space for Rent." He suggested a few other venue name changes, including, but not limited to, Trump Keating Tower, in honor the real estate mogul's time on campus.
Michael Drosos was this year's Lord of the Manor.
Class Valedictorian Sarah Teyssen, who maintained a 3.989 average in her time at Fordham, said she had arrived from Germany and was enrolled for two weeks at Gabelli School of Business before falling for Fordham Rose Hill. Before coming to Fordham, Teyssen said she was concerned about living in the Bronx, having been influenced by the media's crime and grime portrayals of the borough.
"My ignorance was especially apparent," she said. "Given the chance to speak with a student on the phone I asked if there were stores nearby where one could buy a toothbrush."
Teyssen found her toothbrushes, as well as plantains and Jamaican seasonings, to say nothing of the "the most diverse and fascinating people" she had ever encountered.
"While I may have been able to get a great education, even a Jesuit education, elsewhere, Fordham's location in the Bronx made the [college] experience truly unique," she said.
She said the location meshed with the school's liberal arts curriculum and core courses in philosophy and theology, which spurred students to wrestle with "issues that are much bigger than yourselves."
It was a note that was echoed by Michael E. Latham, Ph.D., dean of FCRH, as he told students that their education pushed them well beyond the boundaries of their culture.
"You may not have to have all the answers, but you now have the intellectual tools to ask the right questions," he said.
Encaenia concluded with the presentation of honors and awards bestowed on the Class of 2013, including Phi Beta Kappa, Sigma Xi, and Alpha Sigma Nu recognition, and some Fulbright fellowships. Two special awards went to Rose Puntel, who received the Claver Award for community service; and AnnMaria Shaker, who received the Fordham College Alumni Association Award for exemplifying the Fordham spirit.
Traditional pomp is part of the Encaenia mix.
Founded in 1841, Fordham is the Jesuit University of New York, offering exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition to more than 15,100 students in its four undergraduate colleges and its six graduate and professional schools. It has residential campuses in the Bronx and Manhattan, a campus in West Harrison, N.Y., the Louis Calder Center Biological Field Station in Armonk, N.Y., and the London Centre at Heythrop College, University of London, in the United Kingdom.

Dumbledore's Army parchment jinx
this wiki
|"Are you a wizard or not?"
The title of this article is conjectural. Although it is based on canonical information, the actual name is conjecture and may be supplanted at any time by additional information released from canonical sources. If this occurs, please move this page to the appropriate title.
- Ron: "Someone must have blabbed to her!"
- Hermione: "They can't have done...because I put a jinx on that piece of parchment we all signed. Believe me, if anybody's run off and told Umbridge, we'll know who they are and they will really regret it."
- Ron: "What'll happen to them?"
- Hermione: "Well, put it this way...it'll make Eloise Midgen's acne look like a couple of cute freckles."
- — Hermione Granger to Ron Weasley about the jinx[src]
This jinx was used by Hermione Granger in 1995 as a safeguard against traitors within Dumbledore's Army. Hermione placed it on a piece of parchment signed by all D.A. members so that if any of them betrayed the group, boils would form on his or her face across the cheeks and nose, forming the word "SNEAK."[1]
Known Uses
Although Hermione placed the jinx onto the parchment, she neglected to tell anyone about it at the time of the signing. When Ron Weasley showed her the newly placed Educational Decree Number Twenty-Four and claimed that she was naive for believing that by acting honourable and trustworthy will ensure the signers to maintain secrecy, she revealed to him and Harry Potter that she jinxed the parchment as a ruthless method of punishing any traitors, much to Ron's glee.
When Marietta Edgecombe betrayed the D.A. to Dolores Umbridge, this was precisely what happened to her; she was so humiliated that she would not show her face for almost a year, and when Umbridge claimed she could not remove the jinx, Harry felt a surge of pride in Hermione's jinxing abilities. Her best friend Cho Chang considered Hermione's jinx a "horrible trick," arguing that Hermione should have at least told everyone that she had jinxed the parchment, but Harry Potter retorted that he thought it was a "brilliant idea." This was the row that triggered the end of their romance.[1]
Marietta had the marks even the following year[2], and on the Hogwarts Express Harry Potter smirked when he saw Marietta was wearing a very thick layer of make-up but the pimples were still visible. This, along with in the previous year where Umbridge, Cornelius Fudge and even Madam Pomfrey could not reverse it, indicates that a counter-jinx could not be found or that Hermione refused to give it to Marietta. The boils did fade with time, but left scars.
Behind the scenes
- The jinx may be related to the Furnunculus hex, which causes boils to erupt on a person wherever the spell hits.
- As not even Madam Pomfrey could reverse the effects, it may mean that the Cure for Boils and Bubotuber pus, effective for removing pimples and acne, does not affect this jinx.
- It is possible that this jinx only activates if the targets willingly break the contract, because in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Cho Chang was forced to betray the D.A. through Veritaserum, and the jinx did not activate, meaning coercion will not trigger it. However, the jinx was not mentioned at all in the film adaptation.
- It appears the jinx requires the victim to enact the specific act of revealing that the organisation exists to a teacher in order to activate, as Dean Thomas led Seamus Finnigan, who was not a member yet at the time, to join with no consequences. Marietta did not suffer when she told Umbridge that it would be advantageous to go to the Room of Requirement; it was only when she said a meeting was taking place it the boils appear.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (First mentioned)
- Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Effect)

Religion: For Dummies
Scientist Richard Dawkins on Darwin, the Sistine Chapel, and why the world would be better off without religion.Beliefnet recently about his collection of essays, "A Devil's Chaplain."
In the first essay of the collection, you say that as a scientist, you're a Darwinist, but as a human being, you feel it's important to recognize that natural selection is unpleasant and fight against it. Could you explain this in more detail?
The collection gets its title from a quotation from Darwin, who said "What a book a Devil's Chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering low and horridly cruel works of nature."
Darwin realized that natural selection produces cruel results. He looked at predators and prey, parasites and hosts, and saw how there is an immense amount of suffering and cruelty out there in nature. He also realized that that was a logical consequence of his theory. The beauty and elegance of living things is produced as a result of a thoroughly unpleasant, cruel process-this constant winnowing, generation after generation, of animals and plants.
The point of my essay [read an excerpt
] is that we humans can escape from that, because our brains, which have evolved to a large size as a result of this very same process, are big enough to emancipate from the process that gave rise to them. They can set up new goals, new purposes that are not directly related to natural selection at all.
We can seek more altruistic, sympathetic, artistic things that have nothing to do with the preservation of our selfish genes-and thank goodness we can.
And people can pursue these goals-like altruistic ones--without benefit of religion?
Certainly. Those goals are clearly not Darwinian. Every time we use a contraceptive, we do a very non-Darwinian thing. Every time we write a book or go to a concert, we are doing something not directly related to preserving our selfish genes and surviving. We clearly can do it, and it doesn't seem to have any connection with religion at all.

LONDON (AP) -- Tsegaye Kebede won the London Marathon for the second time on Sunday amid enhanced security in the first major race since the twin bombings in Boston.
The Ethiopian chased down Emmanuel Mutai, and overtook the Kenyan in the closing stages to cross the line first in front of Buckingham Palace.
Kebede, who like most competitors wore a black ribbon to mark the Boston victims, clocked 2 hours, 6 minutes and 15 seconds to add to his 2010 triumph in London.
The women's race was won by Priscah Jeptoo, who cruised over the line in 2:20:15.
The Kenyan clocked the fastest time this year to finish ahead of compatriot Edna Kiplagat, while Yikiko Akaby was third.

TanzSolar's mission is to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for people throughout the continent of Africa through the promotion of affordable technology powered by renewable energy, distributed to communities not served by an electricity grid.
News and recent developments
- June 2012: The annual Green Africa Award for Business was awarded to TanzSolar (www.tanzsolar.org) for championing environmental change in Africa. TanzSolar received the Award for bringing clean, renewable solar energy and electric lighting to villagers in Tanzania. TanzSolar received the Green Business & Environmental Management Award, one of ten categories. "We are thrilled and this is an enormous honor to receive such an award. It's nice to be recognized for our hard work in solar energy in Africa" said Marianne Walpert, Founder and Director of TanzSolar.
- Fall 2009: Follow-Up Workshop in Musuma, Tanzania
- June 2008: Karyn Ellis of Solar Cookers International (SCI) writes: "I traveled to Musoma, Tanzania to pursue collaborations between SCI and TanzSolar ~ a newly established nonprofit that will provide affordable solar panels to local internet organizations, health clinics, schools, small businesses and individuals throughout Tanzania. While TanzSolar specializes in photovoltaic (PV) systems, they are interested in expanding their solar reach and open to working with SCI to bring simple solar cooking and water pasteurization techniques to the area as well. Marianne Walpert and her sons showed me great hospitality while I was in Musoma, treating me like family and taking time from their busy schedules to help with a solar demo and introduce me to some active and influential business people in the community; like Sergio Velasquez of Mano a Mano, and Robi Machaba of JuaSun, a local internet company that works closely with Marianne and TanzSolar. With their help we rounded up a good group of locally active individuals interested in improving their environment by providing alternative methods of cooking, treating water and generating income in their community. Together we organized a very successful day of informational presentations on solar cooking and water pasteurization ideologies, processes and techniques, generating a great deal of participation and interest. With the help of those listed above and SCI's East Africa Office, SCI and TanzSolar will plan to host a 5-day integrated solar workshop on the TanzSolar grounds later in the year."

An accused flasher has been arrested after skipping out on court Wednesday, the district attorney's office confirms to 11 News.
Michael Hurd was arrested shortly after two warrants were issued for his arrest. 11 News has not learned where he was arrested.
This isn't the first time police have charged Hurd with exposing himself to women.
We knew about cases here in Colorado Springs, but we have now learned of another case out of Monument.
When he missed his court appearance Wednesday, we stopped by the home address police put down for Michael Hurd on his arrest papers.
A woman answered the door and told us Hurd didn't live there. She did admit to knowing him, but wouldn't answer any more questions, like where she thought Hurd might be.
We asked neighbors if they've seen Hurd around their neighborhood near Powers and Woodmen before. They told us he lives at the house we stopped by off and on.
According to court papers, the 29-year-old admitted to exposing and touching himself in front of women at least seven different times, inside stores and at parking lots and parks.
