Ranieri appointed coach of struggling Parma
Former Chelsea manager Claudio Ranieri has been charged with leading a revolution at Parma after the Serie A club passed into new hands.
New owner Enrico Bondi won an auction to take over the club last month and yesterday he fired coach Stefano Pioli before naming Ranieri as his replacement.
The reaction came after a 3-0 defeat by Roma left the club in grave danger of relegation to Serie B.
After 22 games of the season, Parma lie 19th in the table with just 15 points, three less than Chievo, who sit just above the relegation zone.
Ranieri will be expected to lead the club away from danger and guarantee their future in Serie A after making a return to Italy following a decade abroad.
And he arrived with a warning to his players that they must all pull together with him, or not play again this season.
'Whoever pulls along is with us, who doesn't is against us,' he said.
'The team has got to change its ways and think only of avoiding relegation.
'This club has a clear project and it is vital that we stay in Serie A.'
The former Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and Valencia boss last coached in Italy in the 1996/97 season, when he was in charge of Fiorentina.
A lot has changed in Italian football in the last decade, although it is the events of the last 10 days which Ranieri is hoping never to witness again.
Following the death of a police officer during violence at Catania's match with Palermo on February 2, the majority of stadia in the country have been closed.
Ranieri believes the only way to restore calm is to follow the example set by England.
'I hope that the tragedy in Catania is the last straw,' he said.
'We need to do like they do in England and send down anybody who breaks the law.
'When I was coach of Chelsea, I would take the (London) Underground to go and watch Arsenal play, together with the Gunners' fans, and without ever encountering any problems.
'Do you think that would be possible in Italy?'
His first view of Italian football will come on Sunday in front of an empty Stadio Tardini in Parma when Sampdoria come to town.
That will be the start of 16 crucial games between now and the end of the season, and Ranieri will be treating each one like the final of the FA Cup.
'I will have to teach the players what I learned in England,' he added.
'You give everything you have got for 90 minutes where winning or losing is secondary - you just never give up until the very last second.'

Art of the Fields
Depicting agricultural laborers in art is a pathos minefield. Yes, immigrant farm workers suffer in what 1930s crusading journalist Carey McWilliams once famously deemed "factories in the fields." Yes, these people sacrifice their own health so the rest of the country can eat at tables groaning with cheap food. Yes, they deserve more money, health benefits, decent housing, human dignity. But art installations that concentrate on exploitation are almost invariably mawkish, maudlin, shrill and obvious. They deal not with people but caricatures. And while such a depiction is understandable—have you ever picked strawberries for eight hours straight, six days per week, for 20 years, while making maybe $75,000 for those two decades?—real art is all about subtlety, something quickly brushed aside by most artists.
There's nothing schmaltzy in "The Migrant Project: Contemporary California Farm Workers," 40 photos of migrant workers at the Fullerton Museum Center. "When envisioning California, most people conjure up images of a warm, sea-sprayed coastline, redwood forests, and the opulence of Beverly Hills or the magic of Hollywood," writes photographer Rick Nahmias in a placard at the entrance of the exhibit. "It is easy to forget the farmland."
Nahmias thankfully forsakes the clichés, as workers—not his own lefty sentiments—tell their stories via Nahmias' uncomplicated photographs and prose. In an accompanying pamphlet, Nahmias annotates each picture, his restrained language like a Chinese brush stroke, offering powerful, painful details without bogging down in Lifetime network misery. "Strawberries" is an early-evening shot of a man standing next to towers of strawberry boxes that take up nearly three-quarters of the frame. "The day of this photograph," Nahmias observes matter-of-factly, "the pay was $1.15 per flat of eight boxes." Nahmias doesn't need to explain that the man probably made less than $100 for that rare day of full work; the haggard face does that.
Few of the sepia-toned shots depict workers working; adults rest, children attend school pageants. But the bitter reality of their conditions is hard to miss. In "Charreada," men on horseback laugh during a rodeo. But slightly blurry and off in the background, there's an orchard. Even while at play, Nahmias suggests, migrant farmers cannot escape the fields.
Upcoming Events
The glory days of the United Farm Workers (UFW) and their efforts to unionize California's migrant farm workers is noticeably absent from the pictures portion of "The Migrant Project" because a second concurrent exhibition of poster art in a separate gallery tells that story. Most of posters exhibited are classics of Chicano art such as "Sun Mad"—a poster of the Sun Maid Raisin girl, except the girl is a skeleton and the sun's rays flash like menacing razors. Nahmias keeps the pedagogy to a minimum here, only giving the names and dates of the posters and allowing the posters' bold imagery to speak of the struggles in the fields.
"The Migrant Project" concludes with a teasing but delightful glimpse into Orange County's own agricultural past. A description of Chávez's 1973 visit to Cal State Fullerton complete with a picture is included in a poster, along with orange carts and tools from the turn of the century. And the orange boxes stacked about nine feet high in a corner of the exhibit hall is exactly what the power of subtlety is about—no commentary, no pictures, just a stack of boxes, the migrant laborers' Sisyphean task overwhelming the room.
"The Migrant Project: Contemporary California Farm Workers" at the Fullerton Museum Center, 301 N. Pomona, Fullerton, (714) 738-6545. Open Tues.-Wed. & Fri.-Sun., noon-4 p.m.; Thurs., noon-8 p.m. Through Oct. 19. $4.

Adele has slammed stars who use sex to sell their records, claiming they "don't even look like that" in real life.
The 24-year-old songstress is renowned for her stunning vocals and never uses gimmicks when she's performing. Adele advocates a curvier frame and gets frustrated when other artists use skimpy attire and provocative dance moves to present a false image to fans.
"I've seen them up close and they don't even look like that," she revealed to British newspaper The Sun.
Adele thinks it's important that real talent shines through, so she wouldn't show off her body even if she had a supermodel figure.
"I just stand there and sing. I'm not worried that I'm a 'plus size' and so much bigger than other artists," she explained. "No matter what you look like the key is to be happy with yourself."
Meanwhile, Muse have spoken about losing out to Adele in securing the latest James Bond soundtrack. Adele has recorded the main theme tune for upcoming instalment Skyfall, but the rockers insist their new track Supremacy would have been the perfect fit.
"It's got a little bit of a Bond vibe - it all goes a bit crazy Live And Let Die in the middle," drummer Dominic Howard said.
"My view is they should use it for the next James Bond film, but I don't know what's going on with that. I heard Adele was doing it."

It's a tradition nearly six decades old. Pioneer Days and the Pioneer parade in Englewood. This Labor Day, thousands capped off the weeks of festivities by lining Dearborn Street. The parade a boost to local business and community feel.
Thousands like Susie Schwarz and her dog Diesel come from all over to show their support. "It gets more and more every year. I think that is what draws us. It's just a nice time to see so many people."
Longtime residents like Susie take it as tradition and brand new ones like Barbara Siegenthaller who just moved here enjoying her first. "I think it says Englewood is a great town. Look at all the turnout. Look at all the people who are here."
There is also good music, games, food, and drink. All wrapping up weeks worth of activities in the the 57'th annual celebration. "To me this shows the heart of Englewood. This parade is Englewood. The support you see from people all over the place." Organizer Eric Phelps says the party event was started all those years ago as a way to bring people together in the small town during the slow summer months. Something downtown businesses appreciate. "It's got to help. They are trying to revitalize downtown. This is a Monday. Normally they would not have much business."
100 floats, 100 vendors, nearly two dozen organizations helping to put it all together. It all comes down to neighbors like Shane Whitmore with neighbors. "I love the small town atmosphere. Everybody knows everybody."
Organizers believe upwards of 7,000 people made their way downtown for the festivities.

Following Paul Taylor, creator of Wapsi Square, I also want to make a quick shout out to ComicPress and Comic Easel, the WordPress Theme and Plugin that makes it possible for me to post my comics, and the creator, Phillip M Hofer. Seriously, no ComicPress/Easel, no TMI.
Phillip now has a Patreon page (yeah, I'm looking into it) now to support his creation. Given that I can't do without CP/E, I felt it was high time to toss a few bucks his way.
But, I don't got a lot. Maybe you might want to pitch in. You'd literally be helping to support most of the online comics you follow now.

The Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic
Sponsors Include Patagonia, Viper Fins & CTS Foundation
(Honolulu, HI) February 25, 2010 ---
The Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic
(Honolulu, HI) February 24, 2010 ---
The 37th annual Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic
presented by
Patagonia, Viper Fins, CTS Foundation and other contributing sponsors,
Shore of Oahu.
The Conditions were
3 to 5 feet Northwest swell with wave faces averaging 8 feet.
This year Mike
Stewart was successful in defending his reign as the event champion
(12th win @ Pipeline Bodysurfing Classic)
Bodysurfing, called he'e umauma or kaha nalu in Hawaiian, was first
enjoyed by ancient Hawaiians at the break called "Pipeline" today. It
is believed that bodysurfing at Pipeline was first inspired by the dolphins
seen there, long before the invention of the surfboard.
While boardsurfing has evolved into a visible and highly competitive sport,
the main draw to bodysurfing is still as it ever was - the intimate relationship
between the ocean and the rider in what is considered by many as the "purest
form of waveriding."

"The LGF saved my life" – Martin's Story
Publish Date: 25/03/2014
A poster advertising The LGF's Helpline saved the life of a man who needed support after coming out and being rejected by his family and his Jewish community.
Martin, 50, was having a really hard time coming to terms with his sexuality, after being rejected by those closest to him. He was fearful about the response he would get when asking for help, but seeing a poster targeted at lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people in his GP Practice gave him the confidence to ask for support, and the response changed his life. He said:
"I was struggling to come to terms with my sexuality and after being rejected by my family, I was fearful about talking to anyone else. As a middle-aged, formerly married family man of strictly Orthodox Jewish Faith, I was paranoid that I would get the same response from healthcare services as I did my family. Things were very dark and I was thinking of ending my life.
"It was just two weeks previous to my having suicidal thoughts, I remembered noticing my GP Practice had a poster promoting The Lesbian & Gay Foundation's helpline. I thought that if they are displaying the poster maybe this is somewhere I can talk about my sexuality with confidence, that I would not be met with disgust and further rejection.
"I nervously raised the topic with my GP and to my delight they were so supportive! They supported me through my coming out process. I felt a weight had been lifted! I felt so liberated! Every GP that I have met at the practice has been utterly fantastic; I feel so free!I now have the confidence to be out and proud. I feel so good; I feel like I am the person I should be, and I now have excellent mental health.
"I wouldn't have had the confidence to speak to my GP without the poster being up. I am encouraging every GP Practice to have a poster displayed prominently: it could change the life of someone else like me. The LGF saved my life."
To collect free LGB targeted resources for your GP Practice contact Pride in Practice Project Manager Kathy McGuirk: email@example.com or call 0845 3 30 30 30.
Pride in Practice is a service delivered by The Lesbian & Gay Foundation. Pride in Practice is a quality assurance support service, designed to strengthen a GP Practice's relationship and understanding of their lesbian, gay and bisexual patients.

Spring in the Aquarium
Everything's blooming in the garden, and in the aquarium too! Here's an underwater lily:
(phallic much?)
Alas, the other flowering plants we bought didn't make it. But here's the Beatrice, looking lovely as she enjoys tonight's algae tab:
Busy day, battling back the forces of entropy. Plus I met an old friend for breakfast–someone for whom I used to babysit, back in high school. (I mean, I babysat her daughter, who was an infant then, and is now 30!, and a professional in a big city, and going to be married!) Egad. But it was lovely to get caught up, and see photos of the former-infant.
It's one thing to know that time goes by; it's another to see it so tangibly. 🙂

October 10 – Caney Cnurch came together Wednesday evening to praise the Lord and study His word. We began services with congregational singing. Bro. Jeff Shipley welcomed everyone. We have lots of concerns as we went to the Lord in prayer. Sis. Melba Austin led in prayer.
We once again had Bro. Augustine Opemba to speak for us. He took his message from Phil. 2:5-11, Luke 8:1-3 and Romans 10:9-17. Jesus said, "Go into the whole world and preach the gospel. Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess "Jesus Christ" is Lord! As sin has increased man's life span has decreased. We need to fast and pray to see change. There is a great work to do in the mission field. We all have something to do. Caney Church was saddened to hear of the passing of Bro. Bob Smith.
Sunday School opened with congregational singing. Bro. Jack Essary welcomed everyone. Prayer requests and praise reports were received. Sis. Lorrinda Coulter led us in prayer. Jack read Ephesians 6:13-21 for our devotion. Testimonies were given by Jeff Shipley, Hi Lambeth, Jim Lafferty and Janice Lafferty. Happy Birthday was sung to Lucas Clemans. God bless him.
Praise and Worship began with singing. Singing special music was Melissa Harmon. Pastor Bill Austin brought the morning message from Mark 13:32-37 and I Thess. 5:1-10. No one knows the time of their departure. We must be ready and watching for the Lord. Let's not get caught up in false doctrine, cares of this life, but watch and pray.
Annual Hayride and dinner at Caney. We will eat after morning service at the church then hayride up to Caney Mountain. All are welcome to come enjoy God's beauty with us.
Sunday evening service began with singing. Bro. Jeff Shipley welcomed everyone. Sis. Lila Roberts led in prayer. Testimonies were given by Jack Essary and Bill Austin. Bro. Jack Essary spoke Sunday evening from Ephesians 2:1. All have sinned, all are lost until saved by grace. God loves us even when we are out in sin. Nothing we do will save us. It is only through Christ and the gift He gave us by dying on the cross. Ask and believe in the precious gift. Help us pray for our nation and the coming election.
We have a pew for you, come be with us at Caney.

"There's probably a certain amount of plays we'd like to get him," Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. "What that is, I don't know. Again, he was out there running around and looked pretty good (Monday)."
Bradshaw signed with the Colts as a free agent after the New York Giants declined to bring him back. He was irritated at the Giants because his production was still strong. He rushed for 1,015 yards (4.6 per carry) and six touchdowns last season and caught 23 passes for 245 yards. It was the second-most productive year of his six-year career.
But running backs in the NFL tend to have short shelf lives, and even a 27-year-old like Bradshaw can be considered on the downside of his career.
"My (motivation) is just prove everybody wrong," Bradshaw said. "I've got this chip on my shoulder, coming in a seventh-round running back in 2007. I play like it's my first year."
Bradshaw missed the preseason as he continued to rehabilitate after surgery on his right foot last January. He showed no signs of problems during times he participated in open practices.
Missing the preseason is not necessarily a huge problem for a veteran player, although Bradshaw is with a new team and a new offense so that could make it trickier.
The fact he wasn't always on the field doesn't mean he wasn't soaking in the offense, he said.
"Watching, I just looked at it as an advantage mentally," Bradshaw said. "Just to get to know the offense a whole lot better and see it from the outside. Now I get into it and have the reps and get it done. I just look to get that communication between me and the quarterback and the linemen also."
Bradshaw can be considered a key offseason acquisition in light of Colts offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's stated desire to improve the running game and the run-pass balance of the offense.
Pagano said he likes Bradshaw's presence because of his experience and the fact he's been on two Super Bowl champions. The second one was in Lucas Oil Stadium.
Vick Ballard is expected to start against the Raiders, with either Bradshaw or Donald Brown coming into the game in relief.
Bradshaw makes no bones about his desire to be the No.1 back.
"I've been around this game and I've seen a lot of guys down at the beginning and come back and have great years," Bradshaw said. "That's just the plan – to come out and be fired up and make plays for this team. …I love this game and I'm going to give my 100 percent every time and every Sunday. Like I said, I don't know how the plays are going to go and who's going to get how many. But when I'm out there, you can expect full speed."Rookie outside linebacker Caesar Rayford was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for a conditional draft pick Tuesday, one of four personnel moves by the team.
The Colts promoted tight end Dominique Jones to the 53-man active roster to take Rayford's spot, and rookie tight end Justice Cunningham was signed to the practice squad.
The Colts also waived injured safety John Boyett after his arrest by police over the weekend.

Santa Cruz >> A 33-year-old transient man was arrested Saturday after he tried to flee from authorities with items stolen from Safeway on Morrissey Boulevard.
About 5:30 p.m., James Wentworth was inside the grocery store at 117 Morrissey Blvd. when a store security guard accused him of theft and a struggle began, according to the Santa Cruz police blog.
A family of three in the store spotted the struggle. When Wentworth fled out of the store to Pacheco Avenue, the family chased him, police said.
Wentworth threw a punch at one of them, but they knocked him down and held him there before police arrived, authorities said. Police thanked the trio for their help.
Wentworth was arrested on suspicion of burglary, possession of drugs and drug paraphernalia, according to arrest records.
Police said Wentworth recently arrived in Santa Cruz and has been arrested more than once. He remained in Santa Cruz County Jail on Monday in lieu of $5,000 bail, according to jail records.

Pasco County charter schools, by the numbers
Pasco County School Board members plan a wide-ranging discussion on charter schools on Tuesday, discussing the future of charters in the district as well as the impact of newly adopted legislation.
To prepare for the session, board members asked for a variety of information about the status of the county's five current and two approved new charter schools. Some interesting facts popped up. For instance:
Enrollment in Pasco charter schools is up 18 percent from 2009-10, with more available capacity to grow.
Four of the five charters have significantly lower levels of poverty among students than their nearest schools. Academy at the Farm, for instance, had 32 percent of students receiving free and reduced-price lunches, compared to 83 percent at Chester Taylor Elementary. Countryside Montessori had 10 percent free and reduced-price lunches, compared to 41 percent at Pine View Elementary. Only Athenian Academy was similar to one of its nearby schools.
Countryside Montessori spent the largest percentage of its revenue on salaries (72 percent), while Imagine School at Land O'Lakes spent the least (39 percent). Imagine spent the most on a management company (18 percent), while Academy at the Farm, Countryside and Dayspring Academy spent nothing in that category.
The workshop is scheduled to take place after the board's regular meeting, where it is expected to tackle the contentious issue of media center staffing. Stay tuned.

Remembering Ireland's Bloody Sunday, 40 years later
Today is the 40th anniversary of the Bloody Sunday massacre, when British soldiers shot 26 unarmed civil-rights protesters and bystanders. More than half of those shot died.
At age 15, Don Mullan witnessed the event. His book, Eyewitness Bloody Sunday, was one of the catalysts that pushed then Prime Minister Tony Blair to establish a second, more critical, inquiry into Bloody Sunday in 1998. The inquiry lasted until 2010 and prompted a historic apology from British Prime Minister David Cameron. He described the events of Bloody Sunday as "unjustified and unjustifiable."
Don tells Worldview about what he witnessed first-hand in Ireland, 40 years ago.
Don Mullan is giving a public talk at DePaul University's School of Public Service on February 7 at 12PM. The talk will take place at 14 East Jackson Avenue, on the 16th floor.

You know what I mean square.
Please stop.
Here, look at this. It's the trailer on the front page. The problem? Nothing, besides the fact that it's reminiscent of every single Final Fantasy game I've ever played.
What elements make it so square enixy? Well, the showboating remarkable villains. The falling chick. Some weird, action hero dual wielding weirdness that 47 doesn't get filmed doing. Just, the 100% weirdness. Oh, and the incapacitated chick that gets kidnapped. And the hero, has to rescue.
Please, don't turn this game into something it's not. Or was not meant to be.
Maybe I'm just plain wrong, but I've always seen this game as more of a problem solving deal.
With the potential for action elements. With a large emphasis on stealth.
But that trailer just made me think of this.
No, I'm not exaggerating.
What are your thoughts everyone? Maybe I'm wrong, I haven't read much news on the features yet. Anything different?

When basketball season rolls around the West Lincoln Lady Rebels basketball team will have a new face gracing their sideline.
Ina Thompson is resigning as a teacher and coach effective at the end of this school year and former Lincolnton star Jaime Boyles is stepping in.
West Lincoln's former Principal Debbie Morris is disappointed by Thompson's decision, but is understanding.
"I hoped that she would be here longer, but she has family ties in Union County and the drive is rough on her,†she said. "I had hoped she would stay, but I'll feel confident in the JV coach Jaime Boyles that she'll do a great job.â€
Morris believes that Boyles' experience will aid in her new endeavor as head varsity basketball coach.
"She has excellent report with the kids, they respect her,†she said. "Just by watching her as coach I like the way she handles herself. I appreciate her competitive spirit and she knows the game and played it in college (at Gardner Webb).â€
With Boyles serving as Junior Varsity coach Morris feels that she already has developed a relationship with the athletes.
"I think they'll respond to her, and she went to the summer camp with them this past summer, so they got to know her there. She knows the game and I think they will respond real positively to her,†she said.
One quality that stands out is Boyles' high desire to excel and non-complacency.
"You want someone who does not accept mediocrity, who has that drive and competitive spirit. She has that pride and that will be a catalyst to motivate her players,†Morris said.
Although, happy with Boyles taking over, Morris is regretful to see Thompson, who also played college basketball, leave.
"I hate to see Ina go. That makes Ina's decision a little easier on me because I do have confidence in Jaime's ability. She's (Jaime) been here one year as a teacher, and it says a lot about her that her colleagues respect her,†she said.
Boyles, who scored over 1,000 points in her prep career at Lincolnton High School, has a list of people she wishes to thank for her new position.
"Debra Morris and Wayne Navey for the opportunity; my mom and dad have really been behind me the whole way — they always knew I would be a teacher and coach; and the Lord,†she said.
"I enjoyed coaching JV, and this is a good step for us going into next year,†Boyles said.
Boyles said she is excited about the upcoming year and already has a plan for the season.
"I hope to get a lot more out of them and meet the expectations I have of them,†she said.
Boyles herself knows a thing or two about playing up to expectations. At Gardner Webb University she was named the Most Valuable Defensive Player one year and her senior year she garnered the Presidential Senior Athlete Award presented to one male and one female athlete.
Boyles' passion and desire is to see her kids accomplish their goals and dreams.
"I enjoy the student-athletes here, and I hope they do well and succeed.â€by John Mark Brooks

Witness for the execution
Mike Graczyk from Associated Press and Lloyd Gite, a local Texas TV reporter were among the invited crowd in Gary Graham's death chamber.
Both journalists, obviously moved by what they saw, came out to give an account of the convicted killers last moments.
"We had a long, rambling and angry statement from Mr Graham- it was obvious from the way he looked he had put up a struggle," said Mike Graczyk.
"He was restrained with black velcro restraints on his wrists, he had a very rumpled white prison shirt on."
"He was covered for the most part with a sheet which is fairly unusual for executions that we see in Texas."
"He had a restraint across the top of his head that was designed to keep his head from moving, during the course of his statement it slipped off."
TV reporter Lloyd Gite told how he saw evidence of a struggle: "He was handcuffed - it is not normal for prisoners to have handcuffs on him.
"I did see some bruises on his upper arm."
Mike Graczyk said that from the outset Graham was keen to stress he had not carried out the murder he was being executed for.
"He said when he first started talking to us that he was innocent of the killing of Bobby Lambert."
"And that now he Gary Graham is being murdered for that."
Supporters thanked
Referring to Jesse Jackson, Bianca Jagger and Al Sharpton, he said the officials knew the truth and that the truth at some point would come out but he did not kill Bobby Lambert.
Lloyd Gite said Graham talked about his execution as a crime against black people.
"He was repeatedly talking about marching on black power."
"He talked about Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Junior."
"He said they stood up and died for what was just. There will be 100 more years of this lynching if we do not do something and do something fast. "
"He thanked his supporters, he expressed his love for Reverend Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Bianca Jagger who were in the death chamber."
Mike Graczyk said he called for an investigation into his treatment and there were tapes of him being abused in prison by prison officials.
Bianca Jagger started crying as Graham said his execution was nothing more than murder, state sanctioned murder.
Mike Graczyk described how he looked as his end finally came: "As the drugs were going through his body he looked at us and he sort of went silent."
"He died with one of his eyes open and one of them closed."
"He was looking at Jesse Jackson when he died."
"He left out a sort of groan a bit like an exhale."
"And then the doctor came in and pronounced him dead - we got up and left the room."
Should capital punishment be abolished?

A headline at green blog Inhabitat mentioning "thousands of dead bees" and "dizzying mandalas" drew me in. The image that greeted me when I clicked through did not disappoint.
In an email, Canadian artist Sarah Hatton shared her inspiration for the series of works:
"I am a visual artist who also happens to be a beekeeper. Life often finds its way into one's art, and I had long been thinking of an artistic way to talk about the global decline of the bees. I decided to use dead bees as the most direct visual way to represent this message, with the most emotional impact," Hatton wrote.
The bees used in Hatton's art work actually came from two of her own hives, which died from natural causes.
Hatton says she chose patterns that "have symbolic ties to agriculture." And further, the "dizzying" effect of the patterns is meant to reflect the effect of neonicotinoid pesticides, which Hatton says, "destroy bees' navigational systems."
If you happen to be in or near Ottawa, Canada, you can see Hatton's "Bee Work" in person at a one-night showing December 4.
Just this week, Oregon's Department of Agriculture announced they will restrict use of pesticides containing two specific neonicotinoids. The action is in response to die-offs this summer that killed more than 50,000 bees.
Another more artistic response to the Oregon bee die-offs comes from Portland poet and visual artist Pattie Palmer Baker. She said that the news of the bee deaths haunted her.
"I thought about how it looked. It made me see it visually," Baker told me.
The event prompted a poem which she exhibited as part of a recent gallery show in Portland. Though Baker's art work typically combines paste paper collage and calligraphy, for now the words stand alone. Baker intends to evolve the work to include the visuals soon.
Here's the full poem:
The sprayer is only following orders.
He masks-up,
power-mists poison cloudsover the Linden trees,
speeds off in his red pickup truck.
Fifty thousand bumblebees down-draft
and soft-plop on the once ashen asphalt –
now a black gold-flecked Persian carpet.
Some are dead before they hit the ground,
others jerk their wings, scrabble their tiny legs
struggling to lift-off and carry home
their nectar-pollen load.
The sweepers are only following orders.
They crunch the bumble bees under their work boots,
shovel the dead and dying into black plastic bags,
speak of their surprise at the lightness of so great a bulk.
Nearby the colonies hunker in small ground holes,
larvae pheromone their hunger,
queens and drones whisper confusion
and wait.
No workers,
not one floats down the hollowed passage ways.
Buzzless silence sags into the day after
and all the queens dream
of fuzzed carapaces tumbling onto a funeral pyre,
exploding yellow ebony-banded flames
higher than the Linden trees.
The grieving queens follow the curl
of amber-streaked smoke
fly into the fire's hot center,
shoot out gold-barbed fireworks
stinging the onlookers blind.
— Toni Tabora-Roberts

Can capabilities be self-reported? A think aloud study
Direct assessment of capability to function may be useful in healthcare settings, but poses many challenges. This paper reports a first investigation of the feasibility of individuals self-reporting their capabilities and the meaning of the responses. The study was conducted in 2010, using think-aloud interviews with participants in the UK. The findings of the study suggest that the majority of participants were able to comprehend questions about their capabilities, felt able to judge their own capability wellbeing and provided responses in line with this judgement. In a number of cases, for example in relation to 'autonomy', participants highlighted that their capability was potentially greater than their functioning. The findings also show varying interpretations of the capability concept, with some participants finding the capability concept unintuitive in relation to specific aspects of life (in particular, 'attachment'). The findings suggest that guiding individuals in the process of identifying their capabilities may be important in generating consistent responses to capability questions.

Some North Texas vegetable gardeners already have homegrown tomatoes on the table. Others are eyeing the fruits ripening on the vine, salivating.
If you never got around to buying transplants, the time is nigh for getting fresh plants in the ground in order to have a crop of fall tomatoes. Local retailers should have stock starting next week.
Even if your spring-planted tomato vines are producing, the vines may have troubles. Maybe the lower leaves are turning yellow and then brown. Perhaps you find them eaten down to the stems with suspicious droppings lying on leaves below. Is your fruit cracking, or are your plants simply not thriving?
Review six common problems and their solutions.
1. Yes, size matters. If you don't have much room in your garden, or if you're growing tomatoes in containers, you may want a determinate or dwarf variety instead of a leggy indeterminate.
Determinate tomatoes only grow to a specific size and produce all of their crop usually over a three-week period. Then they are done for the year. This is great if you want tomatoes every day, or plan to can or freeze them.
Dwarf tomatoes are chosen specifically for compact gardens, and they're all the rage for small backyards, patios and apartment balconies. Many dwarf varieties arose out of the Dwarf Tomato Project started by Craig LeHoullier of Raleigh, N.C. and Patrina Nuske Small of Australia. Dwarfs often have cute names like 'Sneezy' or 'Sleepy,' and you can buy the seeds of several selected generations from Tatiana's Tomatobase Seeds. Another place to find dwarf seeds is Victory Seeds, where 'Dwarf Beryl Beauty' produces mature green fruit.
2. Diseases big and small, early and late. Blights, early and late, were a real problem for gardeners in some parts of the country the last few years. Other foliar diseases also can ruin your tomatoes before they even blossom, so do a little research and know your diseases as represented by the initials after a tomato variety's name. V,F,N,T and A stand for some of the more common diseases. These letters on a plant label mean that hybrid is resistant. Heirloom tomato varieties also may have built-in disease resistance. Check with local gardeners and your cooperative extension service for heirlooms that grow well in your county.
3. Insects
Stink bugs suck the juices out of tomatoes and can be hard to catch. Identify them from their shield shape.They run or fly when disturbed.They also have a distinctive scent when bothered or smashed.You can kill stink bugs in the morning when they are less active by knocking them into a pail of soapy water. Also, use row covers to stop them from feasting on plants. Encourage natural predators like lady bugs and lacewings by planting zinnias and sunflowers near tomatoes in the vegetable garden. Know how to identify predator larvae, too, because they often eat more stink bug eggs than adults.
Hornworms strip the leaves off of plants and sometimes eat tomato fruit. They are hard to see because they have excellent camouflage; they are the same shade of green as tomato leaves and stems. A sign you have them is their dark droppings, or frass, beneath where they are feeding.
Tomato fruit worms tunnel into fruit and eat leaves. With worms and caterpillars, use Bt as an organic control to stop them from feeding, and they will quickly die. You also can pick them off and feed them to your chickens. That's my favorite method.
4. Critter crimes. If you like tomatoes, the creatures around and within your garden love them, too. Depending upon whether you live in an urban area or the countryside, animal problems will differ. For example, Randy Thompson from Sunshine Community Gardens in Austin focuses all of his tomato selections upon yellow, orange and green varieties because the birds around this urban community garden seem most attracted to red tomatoes. Raccoons and rats also like tomatoes. Some creatures can be deterred with fencing while others need to be trapped and removed.
5. Nutrient deficiencies. Test your soil before planting and add required amendments to increase soil calcium and balance any other soil deficiencies. Tomato cracking or blossom end rot, caused by calcium deficiency, can be solved with consistent watering. Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation set up with timers to deliver an inch of water to the garden every week.
6. Drought and heat. Why are your tomato blossoms falling to the ground before setting fruit? If your temperatures are over 100F, tomato blooms can't be pollinated. How do you outwit Mother Nature if summer comes too soon? Start with tomatoes that mature early like 'Early Girl' or 'Super Sweet 100' and hope your tomatoes set before temperatures rise. As for drought, the primary plan is to get water directly to the roots of the plant using soaker hoses or buried terra-cotta ollas that let water seep into the soil. Drip irrigation is another method.
Tomatoes may not be the easiest plant to grow, but they taste so good they're worth the extra effort. Having a fresh-from-the-garden tomato is one of the best things in life.

I dont know whats going on but its driving me nuts! Here I am 38 weeks and Im ready. This kid has not stopped kicking around all day long. Its not like I had anything special today. I had salad and soup for lunch and salad and hamberger for dinner... granted I did have peach tea.. but that shouldnt have made him do anything out of the ordinary.....My boyfriend and I went to the mall and I swear I felt like my vagina was falling. I had strong pains going from my lower back to my abdomen and down my legs... but when I felt my belly it wasnt tight so I figured I wasnt contracting.Sence being home about a hour or so I have taken a shower and the pain has gone away a little... but this kid is moving SO much you can literally see my belly bounce back and forth from the movement and Im still getting the pains in my cervix area...donno if its just from him moving around so much or what. By any chance does the baby move a lot before your supposed to go into labor?
I have not a clue but at 32 weeks mine is constantly on the go. She kicks the same spot over and over and over again until it hurts so bad I want to cry.
Ive heard that they can be very active b4 labor,I was going to ask what you have drank or ate but looks like it may could be only the tea. My little man will do that crazy moving and kicking all in my ribs at night.And during the day still moves or squirms around alot,but my stomach stays hard most the day with mild to moderate contractions. So, maybe we are just very close to labor;) fingers crossed,good luck and try to lay on your left side and drink some water. labor dust!
Quoting Aeden's Mommy:
Quoting Sara1984:
I remember with my first he moved quite a bit b4 i went into labor. Has anyone been able to start sleeping on their back again? I know that since lil man has dropped I can breathe again and lay on my back instead of my sides. Hes just so big its also funny to lay and watch em go from one side to the other(looks like a mini mountain). I go to the doc mon morn and my doc is sussoped to give me a inducement date since baby is measuring so big. labor dust mommas!
I dont know how to post a video.... but heres some... he hasnt stopped moving for the past 4 hours.

Foolproof Plants for a Stunning Fall Garden
Try these six easy ideas for gorgeous garden color throughout the fall.
Blue Asters
Ethereal New England asters add long-lasting color to fall gardens.
While these asters are rather inconspicuous for most of the year, the 2- to 3-foot-tall plants come into their own around mid-September, producing billowy clouds of blooms. Their delicate blue petals encircle small yellow centers; although the centers soon fade to brown, the petals retain color for almost an entire month. Here, New England asters are paired with light pink mums for a colorful show.
