Binghamton University hosts geography conference
Binghamton University will host the 25th annual applied geography conference, October 23 - 26, at the Regency Conference Center located at 225 Water Street in Binghamton.
The conference was initiated in 1977 by John Frazier, professor of geography at Binghamton University, and has been held in various locations around the country. In recognition of the anniversary, the conference returns to Binghamton, the site of the first two conferences.
This year, the conference will reflect upon its 25-year history, reviewing themes such as environmental issues, regional development, and transportation. The conference program will also reflect the new directions the field of applied geography is moving toward such as race and ethnicity, and terrorism.
Over 200 participants from across the world are expected to attend, coming from as far afield as the Netherlands and Sweden. The conference will also bring together government agencies, academics and practitioners interested in geographic dimension of problems that social and economic relevance.
Events begin at 9:00 p.m. Wednesday, October 23, with a student poster session that highlights the research of students on geographical issues. The session will be followed by a keynote address by conference founder John Frazier on "Personal Perspectives on Applied Geography in the United States."
Frazier is the co-chair of the geography department at Binghamton University. He is the author of a number of articles and has edited a book titled Applied Geography: Selected Perspectives. He has been a referee for the National Science Foundation, the Journal of Geography in Higher Education and Urban Geography.
Frazier has received a number of federal, state and local grants. He has served as a referee for the National Science Foundation and for a number of professional journals. Frazier also served as a consultant to HUD's Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity Division in the 1990s.
He has served on a number of Southern Tier organizations including the Planning Commission of the City of Binghamton for two terms. He also served as a grant writer and researcher for the Commission Advisory and the Broome County Recycling Task Force, which received an ERDA grant that started the County's recycling Program in the 1980's. Frazier received his bachelor's and doctoral degrees from Kent State University.
A highlight of the conference is a two-day mini-conference titled "Race, Ethnicity and Place." More than forty participants from around the United States will meet to present research and discuss issues on the topic. Issues include redlining, segregation and discrimination, heath care patterns and the changing geographic distributions of racial and ethnic groups nationally, regionally and locally.
Breakout sessions on October 24 will include discussion on wildfires, globalization and immigration, and racial and ethnic patterns and issues.
On Friday, October 25, the conference will feature a daylong schedule of panel discussions and paper review sessions. Topics include issues in black America and Canada, water quality and climate and air quality. A highlight of the Friday's sessions includes a panel discussion on the geographic dimensions of terrorism and safety. The discussion will focus on geography's response to the NSF's call for proposals for homeland defense after September 11.
The keynote speaker at the Friday luncheon is Sarah McLafferty who will discuss "Racial/Ethnic Group Disparities in Health Care Access and Health Outcomes in the United States." McLafferty is professor of geography at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. She has published in a wide range of geography, epidemiology and urban studies journals and has just cowritten a book on Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and public health. She is also the author of Geographies of Women's Health. She currently serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Economic Geography and Health and Place, and was a member of the Mapping Science committee of the National Academy of Sciences.
Her areas of research and teaching include the geographies of health and health care, urban geography and spatial analysis methods/GIS. Her research has also explored variations by race and ethnicity in women's geographical access to employment opportunities and health and social services.
The conference is open to the public. Registration fees for the conference is $85, $35 for students. The October 25 luncheon is $15. One-day conference attendance is $50.
The conference is sponsored by the Department of Geography at Binghamton University, the University of South Florida, the University of North Texas, the Southwest Texas State University, Thompson Associates and the Applied Geography Specialty Group (AAG).

These things are amazing.
I have them running Skrillex's most intense tracks at max volume on my Sansa Clip+ overnight. I'l give them a much more in depth listen tomorrow.
These things are amazing.

As someone mentioned earlier, you can get much more expensive phones, say the Shure 535, TF 10's or ety 4Ps, and none of them do EVERYTHING perfectly-you may like the clarity of the Shure, the bounce/fun of the TF 10's, the unrivaled (in my limited experience) isolation and great midrange of the ety's, none of them does it all
I think this is partly subjective. Many of the 'top-tier' iems might lack something or the other, but its just finding the one which suits your taste better (rather than having an absolute perfect earphone) that makes one declare them to be the perfect earphones.
For me its the GH-ERC-DMS, its the perfect earphone for me.
Just ordered the SONY MH1C(for 27 dollars). Can't wait!!
with regards to its quality, the price is still justified ?
I remember trying them out the first time. I wasn't as impressed with them at first. They seemed a bit too warm almost a dark sound. One day of burn and I could tell these had a superior tuning than most cheapos. That was when I realized Clieos was onto something. .After the first night it was like the clouds were opening and the rays from the sun was peeking through. The sound started to show up. I was listening to them all day today. I played a big variety of my music. These things sound great for just about everything. I really didn't here any genre it couldn't handle. One of the most demanding music Genres I test out earphones with is Cubano Salsa. Some Celia Cruz.
Sound positioning. Excellent
Clarity speed and detail. Solid
Vocal range and emotion. Yup
dynamic percussion and sparkle..prat anyone? Check .
Justice to some of the most precise music in the world. Check. If these can handle Cuban Mambo and Salsa music with ease. It can handle anything..
I think this is partly subjective. Many of the 'top-tier' iems might lack something or the other, but its just finding the one which suits your taste better (rather than having an absolute perfect earphone) that makes one declare them to be the perfect earphones.
That's exactly the point-it's the same thing I was saying. There is no "perfect" sound or piece of equipment, certainly better equipment refines things in many ways, but in the end it still comes down to which "flavor" headphone/preamp/speaker appeals to a particular listener. I happen to enjoy many flavors, don't like anything missing in the sound, muddy, etc., but can appreciate the various takes on good sound and have fun hearing and enjoying them.
Well, I actually just bought the MH1C's
I'm quite excited about these because:
1) They have been claimed to be great!
2) I am finally purchasing an earphone!!!!!!
The amount of contemplation, will be put to rest (FOR NOW!)
Hopefully they live up to the expectations!
Just wait a week or two :)
My local post office sure knows how to make me feel bad and good at the same time. I got a notice this morning to visit them where I was served with the news that my R1 is held at the customs, which means a 2 hour trip for me through traffic jam because of a $2 tax. Just PITA. The good news is that while I was there signing stuff they said that something just came in for me, so at least I have one new thing to play with
Edit: Damn, this mh1c is SMOOTH. I definitely see myself enjoying it a lot. One thing is sure though - no way in hell I'm using its stock tips. The suction is just insane - I'll have to do some tip rolling to find which tips sound the best but right off the bat the gr07's bi-flanges are better for me.
That's exactly what I'm doing. I hate suction seals.
So do you have any recommendations? I thought I liked the meelec bi-flanges the best until they just got stuck in my ears when I pulled the headphones out. It would have been nicer if the nozzles were longer.
I'm about to try my GR07 tipset.
I did the same - I think the GR07's bi-flanges and big stock tips are the best. The big vsonic stock tips give me a little bit of suction but the kind I like - not the kind where you pull out the nozzle and you find brains on it LOL
I'm using the mediums. No suction here.
Scratch that. The Meelec M6 biflanges are perfection.
Yeah, actually, the gr07's mediums are better - it will be either them or the bi-flanges. Well, I told you the m6's bi-flanges are good. The problem is my ear cannals are slightly narrower at the opening and the meelec bi-flanges like to get stuck in my ears. The strange thing is that the big m6's tri-flanges stay on the nozzle.
How long did it take you to buy some headphones, lol? How old are you by the way?
There was a post at some point with the Sony XBA3's at less than $200...anyone remember where?

League Two preview
Millers hoping to maintain lead over Shrimps in League Two
Last Updated: 02/09/11 2:04pm
Rotherham: Millers boss Andy Scott must do without Adam Le Fondre

Rotherham United will be looking to maintain their League Two lead over Morecambe this international weekend.
Click below for individual previewsAFC Wimbledon v Port Vale
Aldershot Town v Cheltenham
Barnet v Accrington Stanley
Burton Albion v Plymouth Argyle
Crawley Town v Bristol Rovers
Crewe v Oxford United
Gillingham v Shrewsbury Town
Hereford v Dagenham & Redbridge
Morecambe v Bradford City
Southend v Northampton Town
Swindon v Rotherham United
Torquay v Macclesfield Town
The Millers have made a blistering start to the new campaign, although they will now be without free-scoring Adam Le Fondre for their trip to Swindon Town on Saturday.
Morecambe are tucked in nicely behind the league leaders having won four on the bounce after their opening-day defeat and Jim Bentley's side will be confident of getting the better of Bradford on home soil.
Newly-promoted Crawley Town are in the third and final automatic promotion spot five games into the new season and they host a Bristol Rovers side on Saturday who start the day just a point outside the play-off positions.
Gillingham will be looking to return to winning ways at home to Shrewsbury after suffering their first league defeat last time out at high-flying Rotherham.
Fifth-placed Dagenham & Redbridge will be quietly confident of maintaining their fine start to the campaign against a Hereford side at Edgar Street still searching for their first three-point haul.
Back-to-back wins has lifted Cheltenham into sixth spot and The Robins travel to Aldershot to face a team who are winless in four league outings after kicking off the season with a victory.
Southend occupy League Two's final play-off place and they host a Northampton team at Roots Hall who have lost three consecutive league outings.
Plymouth's game at Burton Albion looks certain to go ahead, although it remains to be seen what line-up the visitors start with. Their first-teamers have travelled, but could pull out if they are not paid the 40 per cent of their wages the club's administrators have promised.
Crewe got their season up and running against fellow strugglers Plymouth last time out and they could move further away from the bottom two at home to Oxford United on Saturday.
Four games without a win has seen Barnet slide down the table and they welcome an inconsistent Accrington Stanley team to Underhill this weekend.
AFC Wimbledon are just a point behind Port Vale in the table so it should be a keenly-contest game as the newly-promoted side tackle The Valiants at Kingsmeadow.
Torquay's home clash with Macclesfield concludes the weekend's League Two programme.

MA in the Teaching of Chinese Leading to Initial Certification
Hunter College established a Master of Arts degree program in the Teaching of Chinese (Grades 7-12) in September 2008. This program is sponsored by the Department of Classical and Oriental Studies, School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Education. The purpose of this program is to provide training and guidance for qualified students who are interested in teaching Chinese as a foreign language in the public school system in the greater New York area in order to satisfy the need for the ever increasing demand for certified teachers who are capable of offering quality language instruction in New York public schools. Curriculum design for the MA Program in the Teaching of Chinese is based on the New York State requirements of the Teacher Education Program in Languages Other than English for Mandarin Chinese. One unique feature about the design of the Chinese MA program is that the Methods courses, Teaching Practicum and Student Teaching courses will be taught and supervised by faculty who are specialists in Chinese pedagogy. At present, there is no school in the metropolitan area offering a program in the training of teachers of Chinese comparable to our design.

Radioactive Fukushima Eggs: 60 Becquerels/Kg Cesium (Ukraine Safety Limit Is 6 Becquerels/Kg)
– #Radiation in Japan: 60 Becquerels/Kg Cesium from Eggs in Fukushima (EX-SKF, July 27, 2011)
From TV Asahi's "Hodo Station" on July 26, in the segment that discusses the lifetime limit of 100 millisieverts radiation.
A chicken farmer in Kawamata-machi in Fukushima Prefecture has brought his eggs to a volunteer testing station in Fukushima City. After 20 minutes of testing, 60 becquerels/kg of radioactive cesium is detected from the eggs.
Disappointed, the farmer says, "I don't know what to say to my customers. It's much lower than the provisional safety limit in Japan, but if I compare the number to the safety limit in Ukraine it is extraordinary…"
The reporter asks the farmer, "What is the safety limit in Ukraine?"
6 becquerels/kg, he tells the reporter.
The man who runs the station says, "For these farmers, the provisional safety limit in Japan is just too loose."
Kawamata-machi is 47 kilometers northwest of Fukushima I Nuke Plant.
The Japanese government's mishandling and concealing the radioactive fallout information has resulted in radioactive water, vegetables, fish, mushroom, beef, hay, pork, manure, compost, and now eggs. And the farmers like this chicken farmer who clearly wants to sell only "safe" eggs to his customers are at a loss. To the chicken farmer, 60 becquerels/kg was just too high to sell his eggs in good conscience.

One Response to "Radioactive Fukushima Eggs: 60 Becquerels/Kg Cesium (Ukraine Safety Limit Is 6 Becquerels/Kg)"
Marilyn Gjerdrum Says:
July 27th, 2011 at 4:40 pm
This farmer understands honor, and wants to help, not hurt people, bless him. He is rare. Makes one wonder how many are sold without testing. There is no consistent testing here on the Pacific West Coast of the USA. Thanks to excellent reporting on this website, we know it is in our milk, water, crops and air. Our government won't test the air for radiation since the Japan debacle, they want to pretend it is nothing. It is totally blacked out in our media, and few websites ever mention it.
I have actually had people ask me if it were still going on, as if it were a movie or something. A populace that isn't aware won't demand better regulations and/or the end of nuclear power plants. That might cost corporations some money, so they bury it.
Thank you for bravely staying on this story. There are many powerful interests that want to keep everyone ignorant of the true situation. You have my profound respect with many thanks.

me- Oh. Hello.
Peter- Hi
me- Fancy some lunch?
For obvious reasons it's unusual for cyclists to meet going in the same direction, so we took it as a sign and decided to join forces for a stretch. Peter is cycling from Japan to UK. 1.5years and 26000km into his trip, he's a mine of valuable experience, as well as great company
-Do you want to take a detour, on the small roads?
-Yes. Yes I do.
So instead of following the highway to Ahmedabad (pron. Am'dabad), capital of Gujarat and near the birthplace of Ghandi, we found some small roads heading north to a town called Champaner, which a fort, at least 4 mosques and a hindu temple at the top of the only mountain for hundreds of miles had earned a place on the Unesco list of tourism. Sorry, world heritage. We had to get out of Baroda, which involved an hours delay for interviews with the local press. A journalist with a keen eye for the incongruous and interesting, happened to spot us pull over for cold drinks. After the formalities (who are you and what the hell are you doing?) were dealt with, he asked us what we thought of Indians
Me -well, there's all kinds aren't there
Peter - you can't generalise about over a billion people!
Reporter - ok, so I write 'Indians are poor but honest' ok?
Peter - not all Indians are poor!
Me - ...
Not long after leaving Baroda we were out in the wilds, and the change of pace and scenery was sheer joy. I'd had an image of cycling through India, riding a small road from central nowhere to the back of beyond, shaded by trees on both sides whose branches meet, between fields of dwarf wheat spiking out of red earth and under a clear blue sky. This image has been a large part of my inspiration for taking this trip, and for one day it was right on the money.
Champaner was a small village within the walls of the fort, which gave it real charm. There were few hotels in the village, as most people stay halfway up the mountain, Pavargardh, so we stayed in a half-gutted (it was being redecorated, in lurid pink) guesthouse run by a small, friendly family. The mosques, all relics and dotted in the fields around the fort, were beautiful and peaceful sanctuaries. The temple at the top of Pavargardh, on the other hand, was neither relic nor outstandingly beautiful, while the experience of visiting was about as peaceful as a rugby scrum. In a war zone.
Before we could even get close to the temple, we had to climb the mountain. This, we were told, involved catching the local bus from Champaner to the cable car station halfway up
- Mum, I know it's early, DON'T PANIC. Nothing serious, I promise. Only my phone's been nicked, can you ring the company and cancel it?
Feeling that to wait an hour for another bus in order to repeat this experience would be ill-advised, we found a jeep to take us halfway up the mountain. Quite apart from being treated by a stranger to a series of quite unprovoked but nonetheless explicit Indian insults, entertaining the other passengers with my incomprehension, the journey was a nightmare of high-speed switchback corners
After all this, the cable car ride to the town of Pavargardh was a moment of blissful tranquility, but this was merely the interlude. Once in Pavargardh, we had to continue climbing, on foot now, through the bazaar of devotional flowers, sweets, music and other religious accoutrements, to eventually reach the gate to the final approach to the temple. The crowd around the gate was about three times the size of that around the bus earlier, and even more aggressive. I managed to hold my ground, alongside a group of Indians about my age who nominated themselves my guides. Peter elected, wisely as it turned out, to step back and take his chances outside the crush. Eventually the gate opened, and several hundred people surged through. Knees, elbows, reaching hands and stamping feet fought, pointlessly, for position in the queue. Once through the bottleneck of the gate the pressure eased a little, and my immediate concern that someone might actually die was allayed, but still the pushing continued. The queue now ran up several hundred steps to the very highest point of the mountain, where the small, bright pink temple sat. The line, between 2 and 20 abreast in different sections, was unshaded for most of the hour and a half it took to climb.
The temple itself looked like most Hindu temples I've seen, small, with shrines layerd one above the other, and all walls covered with carved details from myth and legend, many of them streaked with coloured powder by pilgrims. The overall impression was of a tiered and intricately iced cake, to which a small child has added the finishing touches. I didn't spend long in the temple, (the push from behind was such that you couldn't) and was shocked to find when I left that the queue had almost entirely disappeared. If we'd waited an hour we could have sauntered up to the temple in perfect tranquility. My guides were unable to explain why everyone had been in such a rush.

Last season I set out on a quest to learn to turkey dog. Most on this board might feel like they know Vic my turkey hunting partner. Contrary to the generally held view that turkeys are easier to kill with a dog, which was what I thought too; not so fast in the assumptions. Many turkeys will continue to get away. Turkey dogging is experience that is out there in league all by itself. Anyone who claims to be an addicted turkey hunter must try turkey dogging.
Any dog that has a drive to flush birds could be trained to hunt turkeys. Most dogs given the chance can hunt multiple species so if you already have a hunting dog there is no harm in refining it into a turkey dog. Our dog will love you for it.
At the start of last season Vic was barely 9 months old. On opening weekend we killed a nice gobbler together.
With a few more turkeys to his credit and WI pheasant season open we tried our luck on them.
Then some quail hunting
More turkey hunting, my favorite
Back for some late season pheasants
Late season turkey
Last turkey on 12/31/11
January 2012 we got bored and went rabbit hunting, the only season left open
We also killed some grouse but my camera malfunctioned so there are no pics.
My point is not to brag, although I am proud of Vic's rookie year. Rather I would like to motivate others to take their dogs out turkey hunting. Turkey hunting will not ruin them, it will expand the dog's horizons.
Each time Vic flushed a game bird I yelled out the name of the bird so that he knew I approved. As the season came to an end Vic was hunting species on command. If I told him pheasants he went for them, if turkey he went after turkeys and it was the same for grouse and partridge.

Among those operatives are Temudjin Oh, of mysterious Mongolian origins, an un-killable assassin who journeys between the peaks of Nepal, a version of Victorian London, and the dark palaces of Venice under snow; Adrian Cubbish, a restlessly greedy City trader; and a nameless, faceless state-sponsored torturer known only as the Philosopher, who moves between time zones with sinister ease.
Then there are those who question the Concern: the bandit queen Mrs. Mulverhill, roaming the worlds recruiting rebels to her side; and Patient 8262, under sedation and feigning madness in a forgotten hospital ward, in hiding from a dirty past.
There is a world that needs help - but whether it needs the Concern is a different matter.

"Finally an Iain M. Banks book on audible..."
I've been a long time fan of Iain M. Banks, especially his sci fi -- the Culture books in particular. I search his name in Audible every month. I wish there were audio versions of all these books -- Player of Games, Consider Phlebas, Use of Weapons, Excession, etc. ...
Banks' ideas and characters are inspired. His plots are improved with a second reading (listening), when you recognize details and have insights into the secrets of his fascinating characters.
Transition weaves the stories of six people through time and alternate dimensions. Among them a despotic bureaucrat and her moralistically superior outlaw rival, a narcissistic stock broker, a torturer, and the transitioner -- a sympathetic assassin who can "flit" his consciousness into another body in another dimension. Banks explores this cool concept in depth.
The narrator is fantastic. I'm going to look for other books read by him.
There are scenes in this book, like most of Banks' books, that are very harsh. The torturer's story, for example, is hard to listen to at times. This is definitely not a book for kids.
Highly recommended. If you enjoy books like Snow Crash, William Gibson, etc., then you'll probably like it a lot.
"Brilliant Science Fiction"
I'm so grateful to Iain M. Banks for writing yet another complex, moving, intelligent and well told story and for Peter Kenny for doing such a wonderful job narrating it. Transition is a book worthy of the this same science fiction author who wrong "Look to Windward" and the "Algebraist".
Please be aware that Iain M. Banks tends to write very richly crafted villains as well as heroes, so if you're squeamish he's not for you. I'm not squeamish, of course, and love his style.
Finally, part of what makes Transition so rich is that it ties itself obliquely yet solidly to problems we face in our world, and he lets us make judgements for ourselves without telling us what to think. This is a great book.
"Banks is a master of complex challenging sci-fi"
I'm a huge Iain M Banks fan, and this book has been my favorite listen on audible so far. If only there were more of his books here. Please please please add some from the Culture Universe.
Banks writes complex, thoughtful and challenging sci-fi.... exploring themes in which morality is curved, good and evil are never quite straightforward and the narration can be interestingly non linear. If you like your protagonists to be sometimes flawed while always interesting, and your antagonists sometimes sympathetic yet always vile. Take a ride with Banks.
Peter Kenny's narration is superlative. Many readers could easily subtract from the genius of Banks' writing. I found it difficult to imagine anyone adding to it, but Kenny does so, bringing the subtleties of the characters out quite beautifully with his range of voice and accent. Brilliant.
A good read (listen). Banks never fails to surprise. Peter Kenny brings the story to life Banks has a number of other SF books available from Audible in the UK. Why not here?
Stunning book. It takes some concerntration, as do all Iain Bank's book, but it is well worth the effort. One of the the most innovative writers. More please!
Watercolor Explorer
Took some time for the story to unfold--as is often the case with Banks' books. But he is one of my top 5 favorite authors and I knew it was worth being patient and allowing the story to unfold. I was not disappointed. This is a great story. The narrator is fantastic.
How I wish there were more Iain Banks novels on Audible.
"First rate"
I loved this book. Five stars! It was confusing at first (but in an interesting way,) but became more clear as it went on. Banks is the most wildly creative writer I've "read" in ages. I just wish I could get all his work here. Much to my annoyance some of his audio books are available in England though not here.
"Thoughtful and Compelling"
Banks is a master of literary, idea-driven science fiction. Transition jumps around between characters, times, and alternate universes, and still winds up being a straightforward story. Beautiful. And Peter Kenny is probably the best narrator I've come across in an audiobook. Flawless voice work and a perfect fit with the intelligent writing.
"Brilliant Banks stuff"
Loved it
It is a typical Banks science fiction work. Complicated plot and multiple characters
Narrated very well too
Must read for any one who is a Banks can and also for a sci-fi can
"Fun catch-me-if-you-can multiple worlds novel"
This is not a Culture novel. I mistakenly thought it was. I love Banks and I love Peter Kenny's narration.
I haven't read a multiple worlds novel that really satisfied me. It all seems a bit too easy. In this novel, you have a secretive high-control organization that acts as the gateway to the multiple earths. In the end, the motivation of the organization and it's tyrannical leader remain a bit unclear in an unsatisfying way.
Peter Kenny's great.
Alas, Iain Banks has passed away. Yes, this novel begs for a follow-up, but I don't see it happening.

The one thing that is worth consideration is whether lepto is worth giving based on where you live.
Lepto vaccine only lasts about 6 months. I vaccinate every spring with it to get us through spring and summer.

This fall we're excited to present the world premiere of Canadian composer Barbara Monk Feldman's Pyramus and Thisbe in a brand new Canadian Opera Company production. We took a field trip up to the COC Scene Shop to give you an exclusive first look as the sets are being constructed in anticipation of opening night on October 20, 2015!
Three massive panels, partly inspired by the Abstract Expressionist canvases of American artist Mark Rothko, help divide the triple bill's three operas into three separate spaces, allowing the three scores to flow into each other without interruption.
The scale of Pyramus and Thisbe's set demands a huge working space—luckily the COC Scene Shop's converted fruit distribution factory provides the perfect space to house the multi-story wooden backdrop.
One of the identifying factors of the set, beyond its beautiful deep pine-green colour, is a long bench extending its entire length. These benches will be the chorus's home for the majority of the opera.
When constructing a new production, many tests are undertaken to see which media best suit the theme, space and budget. For Pyramus and Thisbe, the creative team decided to use layers of acrylic paint on a heavily-grained wood in order to highlight natural textures and rich colour palettes.
After finding the perfect colour mix, the paint is applied to giant sheets of wood using brushes set on long wooden handles, set at about the angle of a hockey stick.
The paint is applied in various layers in order to achieve the desired consistency and colour throughout the multiple background and floor panels.
Because the wood is so deeply textured, the paint is absorbed to different levels, resulting in a deeper stain in certain areas.
After they are painted, the floor panels need to be allowed to dry completely undisturbed in order for the paint to come to a perfect, untouched finish.
In order to see this stunning set in its full glory (and populated with singers!), buy your tickets today for this innovative program, featuring the world premiere of Canadian composer Barbara Monk Feldman's Pyramus and Thisbe along with Claudio Monteverdi's Baroque classics Lamento d'Arianna and Il combattimento di Tancredi e Clorinda. See you at the opera!

Take a peek into Violetta's wardrobe! Costume designer Cait O'Connor talks about how Violetta's clothes reflect her place in society and her personal choices. Catch La Traviata this fall from October 8 to November 6, 2015 to see the costumes in their full glory!
"Violetta is incredibly charismatic and bewitching. She possesses an effortless glamour. At the same time she is a fragile girl, trapped within an opulence of her own creation. She has to costume herself as a manifestation of decadence in order to survive in her world."
"When Violetta meets Alfredo their connection is immediate, deep and honest. We see Violetta in their country house, truly at home for the first time. Her presence and ease is palpable. I referenced 19th century pre-Raphaelite photography and sepia colors as an inspiration for this look."
"As Violetta is ripped away from Alfredo, she loses her dream of love. She returns to Paris armored in an enormous gown representing the frantic ecstasy which she must return to."

* You are running out of time to effectively test whatever auto system you are going to use & certainly wouldn't want to use it untested.
I would want to test it for at least as long as I needed to trust it for.
* You risk less by not feeding them at all as opposed to having the auto-feeder potentially overfeed them on a daily basis.
Just my 2 cents worth.

Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

April 7th Half-marathon in Local County Parks
The Badgerland Striders Running Club will once again be hosting its annual South Shore Half-marathon on Saturday, April 7th. The race starts at 8:30 am with registration starting at 7 am. As always, the race starts at the South Shore Pavilion at 2900 S. Shore Drive ( South Shore Park in Bay View). Pre-registration is $10 for Striders members or $12 for non-members. Race-day registration is $20 for both members and non-membrs. In this race you get a pair of gloves instead of a t-shirt.
The stars of this race are our beautiful and priceless County Parks. This race runs almost entirely through five County Parks: South Shore, Bay View, Sheridan, Warnimont and Grant Parks. The half-way point is in Grant Park. After turning around at the half-way point, the participants run north along the same course back to the starting point in South Shore Park. The course runs through Bay View, St. Francis, Cudahy and South Milwaukee.
Someone once said that a half-marathon is the longest race where you can still go home and mow the grass afterward. This is a great distance where you can really focus on intermediate-distance running. I have run this race for eight of the past ten years and it is one of my all-time favorite courses.

The nose is made up of bone and cartilage. The size and relationship of the bone and cartilage which make up the nose determine the size and shape of the nose.
Nose surgery (rhinoplasty) offers improvement in the appearance in cases in which the nose is cosmetically unappealing. Age may also be a consideration. Many surgeons prefer not to perform cosmetic (elective) rhinoplasties until the growth of the nasal bone is completed (around 14 or 15 for girls, a bit later for boys).
With local anesthesia, the nose and the surrounding area is numbed. The patient will usually be lightly sedated but awake during the surgery, and relaxed and insensitive to pain. The surgery is usually done through the incision inside the nostrils. Instruments inserted through the nostril, are used to reshape the bones which make up the nose.
The results of surgery are variable, depending on the initial shape of the nose, but rhinoplasty offers significant improvement in appearance in many cases.

But, as you see, we're back to praising Brady for being incredible, and being the variable in taking a washed-up Moss and breaking a record with him.
Imagine if Brady had a guy like Calvin.
Man, if that happened to Eli, he would have a free pass to throw for 50 interceptions next year.
Now there's chatter out there about the Pats picking up Beckham. That's just creepy.
If Brady can even come close to duplicating the Pats' passing performance from last year with this cast of characters, he should be put immediately into the HOF. No need to retire or wait 5 years or even vote . . . . he's just in.
As long as they have TFB, they be fine

- Mediocre Review by Jade
I had this bracelet for a little over a year. I wore it everyday and it seemed it would last forever. Just weeks after the anniversary, the band literally snapped into two pieces.
Thinking about to replace with the Titanium band or this one again...ahh... decisions, decisions. (Posted on 11/5/12)

My son started with a kid style medical bracelet and now that he is a teenager he wanted something more stylish.

- Very stylish! Review by Janet Tallent
I was not happy to be required to start wearing a medical ID bracelet and wanted to wear one that didn't LOOK like a medical ID bracelet. My daughter found your website and I LOVE this bracelet. I have tiny wrists for an adult and the small actually fit! (most bracelets are too big for me). The black leather band is very stylish and with the tag with no color people don't even realize it is a medical ID bracelet unless I tell them or they really look closely. I wear this along with my other bracelets as well as alone and it looks great. I love it! (Posted on 7/21/11)

My daughter has been wearing a medical alert bracelet since she was six. That is almost 20 years. It was great to find a new style. This is different form any of the bracelets she has had.

EDUCATION: Spotlight! on NLM Resources – Multiple Language Resources – Wed. May 22
- Spotlight on National Library of Medicine Resources – Wed. May 22, 2013, 1:00 MT, 2:00 CT – Multiple Language Resources. Research conducted over the past 25 years has shown a strong correlation between language barriers and poor quality health care. Language can affect the accuracy of patient histories, the ability to engage in treatment decision-making, poorer understanding of a medical diagnosis or treatment, underuse of primary and preventative services, lower use and misuse of prescription medications, and a decreased level of patient trust. In the MidContinental Region there are many languages used: American Sign Language, Arabic, Cambodian, Chinese, Cushite, English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Korean, Laotian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, Swahili, Tagalog, Thai, Urdu, and Vietnamese. Maybe more! In this session, Dana Abbey will discuss free and authoritative resources for meeting the multi-language health information needs in your community.
One MLA CE credit will be available for this class.

Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and other sleep-related causes of infant mortality have several known risk factors, but little is known if these factors change for different age groups.
In a new study in the August 2014 Pediatrics, "Sleep Environment Risks for Younger and Older Infants," published online July 14, researchers studied sleep-related infant deaths from 24 states from 2004-2012 in the case reporting system of the National Center for the Review and Prevention of Child Deaths.
Cases were divided by younger (0-3 months) and older (4 months to one year) infants. In a total of 8,207 deaths analyzed, majority of the infants (69 percent) were bed-sharing at the time of death.
Fifty-eight percent were male, and most deaths occurred in non-Hispanic whites.
Younger infants were more likely bed-sharing (73.8 percent vs. 58.9 percent), sleeping on an adult bed or on/near a person, while older infants were more likely found prone with objects, such as blankets or stuffed animals in the sleep area.
Researchers conclude that sleep-related infant deaths risk factors are different for younger and older infants. Parents should follow the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommendations for a safe sleep environment and understand that different factors reflect risk at different developmental stages.

Along with utility stocks and MLPs, Barclays offers about half a dozen real-estate investment trusts it says income investors should check out this year, what with corporate bond yields evaporating on a daily basis. Barclays calls the current REIT dividend spread to Treasuries attractive and projects 9% average annual REIT dividend growth over the next five years:
Conceptually, we view REITs as a total return vehicle, combining both attractive income and solid growth/appreciation potential. Specifically, for our purposes here we think they represent an attractive yield investment, with a relatively high, growing and well-covered dividend. We expect continued fundamental improvement to support relatively strong earnings/dividend growth over the next few years.
Herewith Barclays' top REIT picks:
- Essex Property Trust (ESS): "An apartment company focused on high barrier to entry West Coast markets, [ESS] is our top stock pick for 2013," Barclays writes. "In our view, Essex is poised to generate better-than-average same-store NOI growth in 2013 and 2014, driven by the company's exposure to northern and southern California and Seattle – all markets with better than average employment growth, often technology related…. Our $181 12-month price target… implies a 21.4% total return, including the 2.9% dividend yield. Further, we project a 7.6% annual five-year dividend growth rate."
- Prologis (PLD): "This year, we expect the company to reach the portfolio repositioning and de-leveraging goals detailed when it merged with its largest public competitor, AMB, in 2011. We project above-average earnings growth [and]also expect PLD's balance sheet to rank among the strongest in the REIT industry…. Our $44 12-month price target… implies a 16.5% total return, including the 2.9% dividend yield; we project a 12.3% annual five-year dividend growth rate."

Nolen Niu
In 2005, Nolen Niu, Inc. introduced the world to a new era of modern furniture designs for living, work and retail spaces. Clean, linear, provocative silhouettes cleverly integrated with unapparent functionality are characteristics of American designer Nolen Niu's creations.
The firm specializes in product design and manufacture of unique custom-made furniture apart from the more affordable statement-making factory-ready pieces, such as the iconic Zero™ Chaise Lounge. From high-profile clients, celebrities and a young generation with a taste for fashionable lifestyles, the brand appeals to an exclusive section of the market.
Recognized for idiosyncratic artistry, craftsmanship, timeliness and quality, Nolen Niu masterpieces use a combination of premium fabrics and leathers, and high-class timber, steel and other materials. As seen in the MIRROR™, EVO™, and YO™ collections, the designs' smart but minimalist articulation is the result of Niu's "willingness to experiment and push the boundaries of conventional design."
With his corporate office in Beverly Hills and production facility in downtown Los Angeles, Niu is one of the few vertically integrated American furniture designers, having the ability to competitively design and manufacture in America. From sofa sets, sectional sofas and chairs, the products are distributed across America and worldwide.
A favorite among high-profile private clients, top brands and celebrities, Nolen Niu is an American designer of modern furniture recognized for his holistic approach to design and clean, provocative aesthetics. His passion for contemporary furniture design took off after graduating from the world-renowned Art Center College of Design in 1999, Niu has always been "fascinated with how spaces can affect the way people interact, their moods and activities." He draws inspiration from his love for architecture and furniture, and takes an interest in new technologies and how things are created.
In such a short time, Nolen Niu successfully etched a niche for himself in the highly competitive design industry of today. In 2005, he formed his Los Angeles furniture design and manufacturing firm, offering services from product development to production.
Niu's major break as an emerging talent came at the prestigious 2006 Salon Satellite Milan Furniture Fair, where he launched his first collection featuring the iconic Zero Chaise Lounge that received international acclaim. He has since graced numerous national and international exhibition events.
In addition to his collections being featured in Esquire magazine, The New York Times and 300 other media publications and books, Niu was nominated for the 2012 Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Awards for Product Design. He currently teaches at the Art Center College of Design.View other products by Nolen Niu

READ: An interview with Evan Thomas by Peter Kadzis
VIEW:Photos of Teddy Roosevelt, William Randolph Hearst, Henry Cabot Lodge and more from The War Lovers
As a panelist on PBS's Inside Washington, Thomas participates in a weekly examination of close-order maneuvering among the nation's governing and, in the process, helps define political reality — at least for the audience slice that favors natural fibers and fair-trade coffee.
Each semester at Princeton, in a course called "The Literature of Fact," Thomas teaches 16 would-be journalists the mechanics of characterization and pacing, the craft of reporting and interviewing, and the inside art of, well, narrative.
At Newsweek, Thomas's home for the past 24 years, he enjoys the seigniorial title "editor at large," suggesting authority unencumbered by administrative worry. (Although Thomas no doubt enjoyed his fill of office politics as the newsweekly's onetime Washington bureau chief — and perhaps again last week, when Newsweek's parent, the Washington Post, put the financially strapped publication up for sale.)
With more than 100 cover stories to his credit, Thomas knows how to earn his keep; a 1998 National Magazine Award for his account of the soap-saga that followed Monica Lewinsky's service to President Bill Clinton established a pedigree; and a 2005 National Magazine Award to Newsweek for its 50,000-word mini-epic on the 2004 presidential election — written by Thomas — honed a reputation that cuts mustard in Georgetown and at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Impressive stuff. More so when one considers that these are only Thomas's day jobs.
For more than 20 years, Thomas also has been a practicing historian. He kicked off his long-form career as the co-author (with pal Walter Isaacson) of a big and exceedingly readable book, The Wise Men: Six Friends and the World They Made (Simon & Schuster) — a study of establishmentarians Dean Acheson, Charles Bohlen, Averell Harriman, George Kennan, Robert Lovett, and John McCloy Jr. As would be the case in all his subsequent work, the ghost of Plutarch hovers over the pages.
Wise Men was followed by biographies of Robert F. Kennedy, John Paul Jones, super litigator Edward Bennett Williams, the founding generation of the Central Intelligence Agency, and a study of the last great naval campaign of World War II.
As a journalist and a historian, Thomas's theme is power and the consequences of its exercise. His most recent, The War Lovers: Roosevelt, Lodge, Hearst, and the Rush to Empire, 1898 (Little Brown), is also his most elegant — a medley of intersecting lives: the story of the men who were present at the creation of the American empire, those who wished it (William Randolph Hearst), those who willed it (Henry Cabot Lodge and Teddy Roosevelt), and those who tried to stop it (Speaker of the House Thomas Reed of Maine and Harvard philosopher William James).
The story of the Spanish-American War — the nation's first conflict of choice — War Lovers presents eerie parallels with George W. Bush's adventure in Iraq. Thomas is too sensitive a writer and too scrupulous a historian to present a reductive story in which Bush equals Roosevelt and Lodge sits in for Cheney. But for a nation of civic and historical illiterates, Thomas provides a public service by forging in the smithy of his imagination the essential story of America's too often denied lust for empire.

Macedonia News 11/30
I didnt get the news in for last weeks (11-23) edition so my news will be a week late. I just let the time slip up on me. Our mail doesnt come until 3:00 P.M. or 3:30 P.M. So when I picked up the Gazette and read I needed my news there by 5:00 P.M. Friday, and that was Friday, I knew there was no way!
Open House and Celebration at Sarah and Booker Farrs was Sunday, November 18. It was hosted by their children.
The house is just beautiful! Of course Sarah has very little thing it takes to make the house look perfect, even if it is just another pillow or a little figurine, she knows where to put it. Booker has a really big shop built in back of the house.
Tables and chairs were set up on the patio, which was so nice with a lovely, little pool right at the edge. All kinds of dips, bread, hors doevuress and plenty of desserts, punch, coffee, or water were served. A large crowd was touring the house and just enjoying the get together!
I talked to a Mrs. Charlie Rutledge from Louisville, MS on Thursday, November 15. They used to live in New Albany and she still takes the paper. I hope her husband is better. He got stung by fire ants!
Shelia Parker suffered a Clorox burn, another Thanksgiving cooking casualty! Oh, now where was that burn, Shelia?
We forgot about the Tuesday night church services (in place of Wednesday night). We were late getting back from a doctors visit in Tupelo, just came in, nested awhile, then started supper, I mean, this was just Tuesday night. We didnt remember until Shelia called to know if we were sick!
I got the Boot off!! That thing that helped my broken leg and made me able to get around had begun to feel like an albatross around my neck! Nearly six months! I can now wear two shoes, walk with just a cane and I made Choir Practice Sunday afternoon.
Cyndi Hester is back at work with her boot off. She wears a brace on that ankle.
Betty Carter was better, then she developed a blood clot in her neck. She went to New Albany Hospital on November 21,and stayed there for treatment. She as supposed to come home on November 25.
Sue Shelton has not been feeling too good.
Aileen Freeman is doing very good.
James Shirley go the stitches out of his lip, and he has been coming to church, but still does not feel up to par.
Malcolm only got a check-up on his Oxford trip. He will have to go to Memphis for surgery to remove the oil from his eyed. We are waiting on the doctor to call.
Jim Black has several doctor visits this week. It was Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, but Monday got cancelled. Jim is not feeling as well. Guess not, with all them doctor visits!
Mary Ellen Bowling fell and broke her hip. She is in the hospital in Oxford.
Bubby Cobb went to the hospital Sunday with chest pain. They ran test Monday and think it is gall bladder trouble.
On November 18, the family gave Mrs. Gladys McCauley a Birthday Party. Her birthday as November 20, she was 99! About 45 people were present at her party among them were Brother Louie Williams and his family, Brother Foley and Latane.
Mrs. Gladys had a beautiful cake with her name on it, nuts, a strawberry cake, spirals and punch. She got several really nice gifts.
Elizabeth and Joe Hale had their family for Thanksgiving on November 18.
Sybil Farr had her family Thanksgiving on Saturday, November 25. On Sunday morning she and son Tim, went to Cornersville Baptist Church to hear Carroll Roberson sing and preach. Of course, Brother Preston Farr, her husband, was the pastor at Cornersville before his health failed. Then Tim stayed to come to church with Sybil at Macedonia Sunday night.
Our Thanksgiving went really well considering some werent here. Hailey had to work, James Michael ate with his grandmother (and hunted). Nancy went to her mothers but sent pie and rolls, so that just left me and Malcolm, Belinda and Gary. But we wer joined by Ray Shirley, Pat Moody who brought Broccoli Casserole, Haileys favorite, and Ricky Moody. Belinda furnished turkey, ham and side dishes. Malcolm and I did the rest.
Shirley and James Shirley had all their children Thanksgiving. Just family, but had a good crowd and plenty of good food.
Jim and Twanda Black had a good day. All the family was there, everybody did the cooking. That afternoon Jonathan, Angela and Stone Fair visited as well as Danny and Gail Stanton. Saturday Terrell and Mary Rhea and Bill and Dorothy Bostwick visited. Sunday s guests were James and Shirley Shirley, Coleman Rhea, and Harold Whitehorn.
Martha and Raymond Owen had their children and families for Thanksgiving. They also had a very good day.
Last Sunday, (November 18), April Robbins sang special music. She did such a good job – beautiful song!
Brother Louies message was from Acts that day, 3:1-11.
Sunday night we met in the Family Life Center. Kelvin Meeks brought an evening Devotional thought. Then we had food and there was plenty of it.
Tana Miller sang the special music Sunday. She did so good!
Brother Louies sermon The Miracle of Birth was based on John 1:6-13. Or was it titled Becoming a Child of God? Either way, it was a very good sermon!
Sunday night the Childrens Choir sang an old song with a new twist (or clap?). Real cute! Good work, Carol!
On Sunday nights the people have been filling out a little booklet about Jesus, Believing and Church. We lost ours and there were not any more!
On Sunday, December 2nd at 2:00 P.M. there will be a baby shower for Brandi Cooper in the Family Life Center. (Its a boy).
On December 4th at 6:30 P.M. Association Pastors and Wives supper will be at Coffeys Fish and Steak House.
On December 5th the Senior Adults will meet at 11:00 A.M. at the church for a trip to Taylors for lunch. The bus will leave from the church at 11:00 A.M. Husbands are welcome.
Busy week!

Well, I've got a job again. A great job, in a great company, in a great city. That probably means I am not up for adoption anymore :)
Yesterday, Conectiva Linux 6.0 was released, and I "loaned" a CD-R copy of it with a friend. (No, CL 6.0 is not on the streets yet, but if you read my previous entries, you will see that I have worked there in the past, and that I have many friends there)
The install went very well, and I had quite a few good suprises about it. A lot has changed, including the interface, which was revamped. CL 6.0 also got a nice text frontend, and a parted based partitioning mid-layer.
The installed system was also a pleasure for me. Besides the obvious incredible amount of packages updated, a few great features could be noted: grub is used by default now, and it even has a nice GUI (WinNT alike), the themes used by Conectiva look much better than they did in the past, and the choice of icons and menus is much better than before. Another good point about Cl 6.0 is the adoption of apt-get as an auto update agent. (apt-get works in CL in basically the same way it works on Debian)
Congratulations guys.
Also, I have made the usual certification of the day. Ralf Bächle gets a Master level (I can not believe someone is able to certify him as journeyer - given the amount (and quality!) of work he has done for the free software comunity). Changed certifications of baretta, gwm & ruda to Master. They have been doing an incredible amount of good work over the months and years, and besides I don't know too many guys that lead the development of a Linux distribution ;)

His sitters were at ease with his straightforward nature and he produced many popular images using his students as models. This young pupil became a monk but died at an early age. He appears in many canvases by Ghislandi. The thick flesh-tones appear to have been applied with a finger. Portraits such as this one illustrate how far Bergamo artists had moved towards the modern spirit in portraiture since Moroni's mid 16th century formal portrait style.

Gase has taken an interesting approach to instilling a winning culture in Miami. He is cocky. He is smart. He is borderline deranged.
Read more here: http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/sp...#storylink=cpy
In an offseason where Wallace is going to get twice that...6 mil isn't all that bad for Hartline. Interesting if it gets done to see if they will still make a play for Wallace/Jennings....or if they will look to solidify the position through the draft and spend there money elsewhere. Fact is we need more weapons though...if they don't go after Jennings/Wallace they should at least make it a priority to add one of the top TEs available
I never said Jennings will get 7 million, I said we could save the money from signing Hartline and pay Jennings instead, who is a far better player.
Heart line is must sign with how he and Tannyhill seemed to connect with each other during the season, but also not much competition so didn't have any other options. That being said would like to see him back if price is right. $6mill against the cap seems high so hope if he is signed would be lower cap number than that. Bess is player I just hate thinking Miami might lose because he just seems to always be open but has had injuries the last couple of years and that will hurt his chances of coming back, huge on 3rd downs.
6 mil for 1 TD a year? What a joke.
Smart move. Now bring in a true #1 receiver and we'll finally have something. Plenty of people on here will bitch about 6 million per year but I think he's worth it.
Let's not forget the fact he only caught one touchdown and we all can remember that touchdown was against the Cardinals, the day he got 250 something yards. Take away that game and Hartline averaged 55 yards per game the rest of the season and no touchdowns. IMPRESSIVE!
I too like the comfort level Tannehill seems to have with Hartline so I like the move. The thought of Tanny losing his running back, tight end, and go to receiver is a recipe for regression in his sophomore year so I'm ok with the move. Some added help either in the draft or breaking the bank for Wallace will be a bonus that will only help a young offense.

Callan wins Dirac Medal
Posted August 16, 2004; 11:05 a.m.
Princeton Professor of Physics Curtis Callan has been named a winner of the 2004 Dirac Medal for his fundamental contributions to particle physics and string theory.
The Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste, Italy, awarded the Dirac Medal to Callan and James Bjorken, professor of physics at Stanford University, for theoretical investigations they conducted in the 1960s and 1970s regarding a phenomenon called "deep inelastic scattering." Their work was instrumental in turning experimental results on high-energy collisions between electrons and protons into an explanation of the nature of the strong interactions (the force that holds nuclei together).
Callan was also cited for more recent theoretical contributions to the field of string theory, which attempts to provide a unified theory of all particles and forces in nature.
The Dirac Medal is awarded annually to honor "significant contributions to theoretical physics and mathematics," according to the citation from the Abdus Salam center. The center established the award in 1985 in honor of the English physicist Paul Dirac. Medalists receive a $5,000 prize and present a lecture in Trieste.

What liberty is being attacked? That you can't carry around an assault weapon? That you have to go through a more thorough process in order to carry a gun?
Technically the requirement to have a driver license, insurance etc to drive a car is an infringement on my right to express myself. I should be able to build my own car (dam all safety regulations) and just drive it at any age. I should also be able to drive through a red light. It is my way of expressing myself. Why do we even have traffic lights? Let the strongest win at any intersection. It is all so restrictive and violates my constitutional, individual right.
Sounds ridiculous? Yeah it does. So does your everlasting "my rights, my rights, my rights" when your rights under the constitution are not being attacked or put in danger (at least not in the 2nd amendment case).
Who said that a State is being kicked out Mo? Did I? Nooooooo.
But can a State secede? The constitution is really not very clear on that. The only example we have is a Supreme Court decision in the 19th century which declared the Union as final. But I am sure if a State wants to and all members would agree and Congress would put forth an amendment (with 2/3 majority) it would be possible. And if a State would really want to who is going to stop them? But nobody has seriously tried it in modern history. The money from Washington is just too good (Governor Perry would agree with that). Therefore the States play to the simple minded who really don't know a darn thing about the constitution except sing in a chorus "my right my right" and keep collecting Federal money.
Hey, worst/best case scenario a revolution should solve the issue.
