The Best Self Tanners
Here are four newcomers we'll be keeping in heavy rotation this summer.
By Jenny Bailly
O, The Oprah Magazine | From the July 2009 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine |
Why we like it: Just like Jergens's original Glow lotion, this self-tanner eases you into a sun-kissed tint. The foam texture is new, but beware: The tiniest squirt quickly expands beyond the edges of your palm. Act fast, though, and you can spread it over an entire leg, or arm, or torso, in seconds. It dries almost instantly and doesn't streak. We wish it felt more moisturizing, but it's great on mornings when we're desperate for a glow—and should already have been out the door. Cost: $9. Swimsuit Steals: Everything else you need to look amazing this summer |

A Look at Apple's Possible External and Internal Options for Next Retail Chief
With retail chief John Browett having departed Apple just months after his arrival, the company clearly acknowledged that he was not a good fit for the company. Browett's departure was preceded by staffing controversy within the company's retail division amid reports that Browett's focus on profits over customer satisfaction was having a negative impact on both employees and customers. Apple is of course now once again looking for a leader for its retail division, and AllThingsD takes a look at Apple's options, noting that the stakes are higher than ever with Apple unable to afford another miss with this hire. In looking at possible external candidates, AllThingsD notes that international experience may again play an important role as it did with Browett, given Apple's focus on expanding its retail footprint outside of the United States. Quote:
Johnson himself issued a brief statement to AllThingsD, noting that Apple will likely take its time in searching for the best possibly candidate. Quote:

Not only will we be treated to a 'new' TARDIS during The Snowmen (Christmas Day at 5.15pm), but the episode will premiere a revamped theme tune and opening title sequence.
We can't give too much away about the new-look titles except to say they are wonderfully dramatic and striking, with a couple of unexpected touches. In short, they're a perfect way to welcome back the Doctor!
And fans of the famous Doctor Who theme tune needn't worry… This new arrangement remains true to the original, written by Ron Grainer back in 1963, but on Christmas Day you'll hear it as it's never sounded before. This latest version is more thrilling and powerful but retains that slightly scary quality that remains stirring no matter how many times you catch it.
I'm really hoping we get the return of the Doctor's face to the opening titles!

THIS semi-final saw old rivals St Brendans from Tralee face Blue Demons from Cork. St Brendans had to play without Kieran Donaghy who was minding an ankle injury and who was due to line out with the Kerry footballers the following day, Sunday.
With both teams eager to hit the ground running aggressive yet passionate basketball was on display from the jump with none other than Demons all-star guard, Kyle Hosford leading his troops with quick hitters and killer passes to see them take the lead in the first quarter, 16-10.
Not a team to roll over quickly, St. Brendan's responded with back to back scores from Saulius Marcinkevicius and with Jason Quirke feeling hot the gap between the two sides began to tighten.
Marcinkevicius and Quirke continued to dominate the boards for St. Brendan's but struggled to keep with the pace and tempo that Demons were forcing them to play. Demons' Shane McCarthy came up strong for the Cork side as he hit back to back three-pointers and with the help of teammate Hosford they broke away from the game as the first half ended 39-29.
Although the game remained competitive as both teams ran the floor well and capitalised on opportunities provided to them, Demons never looked as though they were going to lose their chance to make it to the National Cup Finals. Demons closed out the game with a convincing and impressive victory over St. Brendan's on a score-line of 71-51.

Years of service | 1997-present |
Before assuming the nonpartisan post of natural resources commissioner, Sullivan served as the Republican Attorney General of Alaska from June 2009 until December 2010. He was appointed attorney general in June 2009 by then-Governor Sarah Palin.[3] He resigned from his post in early-December 2010 after Gov. Parnell tapped him to head the state's Department of Natural Resources.[4][5]
Sullivan has served in the United States Marine Corps since 1993. He transitioned from active duty to the reserves in 1997 as a infantry and reconnaissance officer. He has been recalled twice since joining the reserves, most recently in 2009 in order to work on a strategy report for then-Commander of U.S. Central Command General David Petraeus.[5]
Before entering public service, he was an attorney for the firm Perkins Coie, LLP. Sullivan earned his B.A. in Economics from Harvard University and his J.D/M.S. from Georgetown University Law Center.
Aside from his credentials as a statewide official Sullivan's government experience includes several years working for the federal government in various capacities under former President George W. Bush. Sullivan was the U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Economic, Energy, and Business Affairs - serving as senior adviser to the U.S. Secretary of State on "international economic, energy, trade, finance, transportation, telecommunications and Arctic policies" - as well as Director in the International Economics Directorate of the National Security Council and White House National Economic Council staffs.[5]
Alaska commissioners of natural resources serve unfixed terms at the pleasure of the sitting governor.[6] On September 11, 2013, Sullivan announced he was stepping down from the commissioner's post. In his resignation letter to Gov. Parnell, Sullivan cited vague plans "to explore new opportunities and challenges in the next phase of my life."[7] Sullivan's decision to resign has been widely commented on in reference to preexisting speculation regarding a possible campaign for U.S. Senate in 2014. Sullivan's resignation became effective September 24, 2013, and Joe Balash took over as interim commissioner the following day.[8]
While working toward receiving his law degree at Georgetown University, Sullivan interned as a law clerk for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Upon graduating from law school, he joined the United States Marine Corps, serving both on active duty and in the reserves. Since initially leaving active duty in 1997, he has been recalled twice - for a two year period beginning in 2004 and again in 2009.
In addition to his military service, Sullivan has worked as a judicial law clerk for both Judge Andrew Kleinfeld of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit based in Fairbanks, Alaska in 1997 as well as for Chief Justice Warren Matthews of the Alaska Supreme Court in 1998. Shortly thereafter, he joined the Anchorage-based law firm of Perkins Coie, LLP, where, as a private practice attorney, he concentrated on corporate transactions and commercial litigation.
Sullivan has been received a number of honors thus far in his military and public service career, including a Defense Meritorious Service Medal (U.S. Marine Corps), a White House Fellowship (2002), the National Security Council Outstanding Service Award, and the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce Ten Outstanding Young Americans Award.
- Bachelor's degree, Harvard University (1987) in economics (magna cum laude)
- Juris Doctorate degree, Georgetown University (1993)
- Master of Science in Foreign Service degree, Georgetown University (1993)
Political career
Alaska Commissioner of Natural Resources (2010-2013)
Sullivan was appointed by Governor Sean Parnell for an unfixed term effective December 2010.[9] His appointment was approved by a unanimous vote of the state legislature in April 2011. He tendered his resignation to Parnell on September 11, 2013, and he officially vacated the post September 24, 2013.
Attorney General of Alaksa (2009-2010)
Sullivan was the Republican Attorney General of Alaska from June 2009 until December 2010. He was appointed to the position in June 2009 by then-Governor Sarah Palin.[10] He resigned from his post in early-December 2010 in order to take up his responsibilities as Commissioner for the State Department of Natural Resources.[11][12]
National Economic Council and National Security Council (2006-2009)
Sullivan was named as the head of both the International Economics Directorate of the National Economic Council (NEC) and the National Security Council (NSC) staffs at the White House under President George W. Bush in 2002. Within this role, he advised the president along with the NEC and NSC chairmans. On April 24, 2006, Sullivan was nominated by President Bush as Assistant Secretary for Economic, Energy and Business Affairs, being subsequently confirmed unanimously on June 6. In this position, he was responsible for overseeing the work on international trade and investment policy, international finance/development/debt policy, economic sanctions and combating terrorist financing, international energy security policy, international telecommunications and transportation policies, and support for the United States businesses and private sector overseas. He remained in this role until 2009.

460 N. Euclid Ave.
Upland, Ca 91786

Monday - Thursday
8am - 6pm
NEW YEAR, OLD CHALLENGES First of all, on behalf of the Upland City Council, I want to wish everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year! The last few years have been very challenging for the City of Upland. The Great Recession has taken its toll on our employees ability to provide top-notch services to our citizens. In fact, the City has fewer employees now than they did ten years ago, yet the Citys population has increased by approximately 5,000 residents, housing units have increased by over 1,300 units, and retail space has increased by approximately 1 million square feet. These increases relate to increased demands for services of various City departments. Also, it is important to note that when the economy falters, the demand for services do not decrease but instead they increase. For instance, in a struggling economy, there are more people out of work resulting in crime against property increasing, causing more of a strain on our police department. In regards to paramedic services, when people need basic medical attention they may call the paramedics to attend to them in lieu of going to the doctors office. Similar situations occur in several City departments as a result of a down economy. I ask the citizens of Upland for their patience when requesting service from the City. All service calls are important as is providing excellent service to our residents. There are times however, when the demand for services exceeds our ability both in human and financial resources to respond to such requests. When this happens, requests are prioritized with those that affect the health, safety and welfare of our citizens being most important. Our staff will respond as quickly as possible to all requests made, but we ask for your understanding as the demand is great and resources are thin. Although it is the Citys intent to be able to address every need and request made by its citizens, there will be times when we will be unable to make everyone happy. We again ask for your patience during this time as we work towards providing the best possible service within our means. Thank you. Stephen Dunn City Manager

1. Your body is in flux for the rest of your life. Think of your body as fluid instead of static — it's always going to change. So get comfortable with those changes.
2. No one will love you or not love you because of your body. You are lovable because you're you, not because your body looks a certain way.
3. The most intensely personal relationship you'll ever have is with your body. It's a lifelong relationship that's well worth investing in and nurturing the same way you would with loved ones.
4. You don't owe your body to anyone. Not sexually, not aesthetically. Your body is yours. Period.
5. What someone else says about your body says more about them than it does about you. Look past the actual snark to the person who's saying it, because it's only a reflection of what they think of themselves. That's when you'll see how little power their words have.
6. Your body is not a reflection of your character. It's a physical home for the complex and wondrous and unique being that is you.
7. Take up as much space as you want. You don't have to be small, or quiet, or docile, regardless of your physical size.
8. Everything you need to accept your body is already inside you. There's no book, or diet, or workout routine or external affirmation that you need to feel good about your body right now.
9. Your body is a priority. It's always trying to tell you things. Taking the time to listen to is of the utmost importance.
10. Wear whatever you want. Your body shape does not dictate your personal style, and fashion rules that say otherwise are wrong. Dress yourself in a way that makes you feel happy and confident and beautiful, because guess what? You are.

Let's play a quick game of nutrition word association. I'm going to give you a word and I want you to remember the first thought or image that comes to your mind. Ready?...Low-Fat. What did you think of? Did it have a positive or negative connotation for you? It wasn't so long ago that eating healthfully was as simple as eating low-fat. If only it were that simple. Unfortunately, the low-fat mantra is entrenched in the minds of many consumers to this day and continues to obscure the beneficial role of fats in our health. Recently, I had the enlightening opportunity to get the lowdown on low-fat at a briefing in New York from Dr. Eric Decker, Professor of Food Science at the University of Massachusetts and Bonnie Taub Dix, MS, RD, Author of Read it Before You Eat It. Here's some of what I learned. WE NEED FAT IN OUR DIET There are many reasons why we need fat in our diets, but the bioavailability of key nutrients may be the most intriguing. Wait, say that again…bioavailability? In plain language, the bioavailability of nutrients refers to our body's ability to absorb the nutrients contained within our food. In many cases, the amount absorbed can depend on the amount of fat consumed. Take lycopene, for example. A study published in American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that lycopene is more thoroughly absorbed when consumed in a salad containing full-fat dressing when compared to a reduced-fat dressing. The same study found essentially no absorption when a fat-free dressing was used.
EAT MORE OMEGA-3's Omega-3 fatty acids are found in both plant (canola and soybean oil, walnuts, soybeans, and flaxseed) and marine (oily fish, such as tuna and salmon) sources. Plant sources of omega-3 contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and marine sources contain eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). The body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA, but research suggests consuming more of the latter can further benefit our health. Studies show EPA and DHA have the strongest impact on inflammation, cardiovascular disease, and mental health—particularly when we get 0.5-1.0 g DHA + EPA/day. However, US men average intake of DHA + EPA is only <0.01g/day. Increasing our EPA and DHA intakes is important, but it's also important to recognize the barriers associated with our low intake levels—cost, personal preference, and availability to name a few. That said, if marine sources of omega-3 aren't an option for you, don't forget that plant sources are an omega-3 option as well. *Tip: If you cook with vegetable oil or take omega-3 supplements, keep them in the refrigerator. The cooler temps keep them fresher longer. Additionally, when shopping for omega-3 supplements, look for varieties with DHA on the label, as not all contain DHA.
STRIVE FOR HEALTHY FATS, BUT WATCH YOUR PORTIONS Many people may assume that all fats are the same, each with no redeeming qualities whatsoever. The reality is that there are many different types of fats and it's the type that matters most. Liquid oils that are naturally high in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats include canola, corn, olive, safflower, soybean, and sunflower oils. Foods that contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are avocados, nuts, and fish. It's advised that these beneficial fats and oils be included in the diet, but even though they are considered healthful, portion control shouldn't be ignored. For example, 1 teaspoon of olive oil has only 40 calories, but 1 cup contains 2,000 calories. So remember, we have the freedom to make healthful choices, but that doesn't mean our choices are free from calories. THE ROLE OF FOOD SCIENCE Dietary guidance generally recommends that oils replace solid fats in the diet, but this can't be done with all foods. Take baked goods for example, there's a reason why specific fats are used in these foods. The types of fat used in pastries and other baked goods provides them with the physical appearance, texture, and volume we love and expect—your croissant wouldn't be as mouth-wateringly good without the right kind of fat.
Let me hear your low-down on low-fat. What was the first thought that came to your mind in our game of nutrition word association?

Re: Weighing the Low Fat Conundrum There are connotations that fat is not good for our health. We still need the intake of fat for our body but in right proportion of intake(not too excessive)

SPOKANE — When I was a teenager, I couldn't wait to drive. I'd make any excuse to grab the keys. Low on milk? I'll get it! Then I'd take the long way to the store, which ensured more time to be seen behind the wheel. Driving was cool, but it seems to be losing its cachet. At some point, we may need to adapt our licensing laws to this reality.
Over the years, I've noticed that neighborhood teens were awfully casual about getting their driver's licenses. Some waited until they were 17 and beyond. I thought it bizarre, until my son hit 15 1/2 , the age at which he was eligible for a learner's permit. He, too, seemed disinterested. Whenever we practiced, it was at my urging.
Apparently, he isn't alone.
A USA Today article from last year notes that some teens are waiting longer because they can stay connected to the outside world without leaving the house.
"Kids can entertain themselves completely at home," said Hannah Hart, a 17-year-old from Atlanta. "People aren't going to the movies as much. People haven't been going to arcades. If I didn't have a computer or have a cellphone, I would definitely push myself more to get a license to go out and do things."
A recent report on National Public Radio reiterated this cultural shift, with one young woman saying, "When I think of my dream car, I draw a blank. Then I reach for my phone."
The number of 16-year-olds with a driver's license peaked in 2001. Only 54 percent of today's 18-year-olds report having a license, according to an American Automobile Association survey.
It's possible that graduated driver's licenses have helped to dull driving appetites, since teens under 18 years old have restrictions placed on their driving. In the first six months, they can't have passengers under the age of 20, except for immediate family.
After that, they're limited to three passengers under the age of 20 until they're 18. Plus, they can't drive unsupervised from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. for the first year.
Graduated licenses were introduced in Washington state in 2001, and were controversial at first. But as Katie Campbell, a prescient Mead High School student, told The Spokesman-Review at the time, "I think it won't be that big of a deal in the long run. It'll just be something kids are used to."
Not only are they used to it, they're awfully accepting. But this can be a good thing. While traffic fatalities remain the top killer of teens, the number has dropped significantly since the advent of graduated licenses and beefed-up training requirements. We could've headed off many tragedies by doing this sooner.
Washington teens now need 50 hours of behind-the-wheel experience, with 10 hours at night. Driving schools have become more prominent since public schools have dropped the subject, and they do a more thorough job. My son's private class cost $450, and that could be another reason teens delay getting a license. The price tag is a significant hurdle for low-income families, but it's money well-spent. I had no professional training before getting a license — just some class time and practice with simulators.
However, as more teens wait to get licenses, the benefits of the graduated version become diminished. Novices are novices no matter their age.
Will that force legislators to shift the restrictions accordingly? If history is any judge, we'll probably have to endure a lot of carnage first. We had decades of distressing data on teen drivers before graduated licenses were introduced.
That's just how we roll in the land of the free.

I've been hearing tons of people talking about how everyone seems to be having a boy. So I wanted to do a poll and see if it's true!

A Slower Day in Rome
... during our last trip. However, it was apparently TOO out of the way and after a few wrong turns we are not where we need to be. With tired feet and tired bodies we reluctantly decide that bed is sounding better than food. So we head back to the apartment and in the process realize how foolish that is! We are, after all, in Rome and late night spaghetti is not hard to find. We satisfy our late night craving and head home to bed.
Oh Roma!
... wandered in the general direction of the Navona Piazza, admiring the buildings and stopping for gelato on the way. Piazza Navona has a couple of really weird fountains but also lots of artists showing off their work and offering to draw you. We thought it would be quite funny to get a caricature of us, so we sat down and were stared at for about 15 minutes and viola! Caricature drawn. We are not sure if we like it or not - but it was a fun experience! ...

Dynamic Elastic Modulus of Porcine Articular Cartilage Determined at Two Different Levels of Tissue Organization by Indentation-Type Atomic Force Microscopy Biophysical Journal, Volume 86, Issue 5, 1 May 2004, Pages 3269-3283 Martin Stolz, Roberto Raiteri, A.U. Daniels, Mark R. VanLandingham, Werner Baschong and Ueli Aebi Abstract Cartilage stiffness was measured ex vivo at the micrometer and nanometer scales to explore structure-mechanical property relationships at smaller scales than has been done previously. A method was developed to measure the dynamic elastic modulus, |E*|, in compression by indentation-type atomic force microscopy (IT AFM). Spherical indenter tips (radius=∼2.5μm) and sharp pyramidal tips (radius=∼20nm) were employed to probe micrometer-scale and nanometer-scale response, respectively. |E*| values were obtained at 3Hz from 1024 unloading response curves recorded at a given location on subsurface cartilage from porcine femoral condyles. With the microsphere tips, the average modulus was ∼2.6MPa, in agreement with available millimeter-scale data, whereas with the sharp pyramidal tips, it was typically 100-fold lower. In contrast to cartilage, measurements made on agarose gels, a much more molecularly amorphous biomaterial, resulted in the same average modulus for both indentation tips. From results of AFM imaging of cartilage, the micrometer-scale spherical tips resolved no fine structure except some chondrocytes, whereas the nanometer-scale pyramidal tips resolved individual collagen fibers and their 67-nm axial repeat distance. These results suggest that the spherical AFM tip is large enough to measure the aggregate dynamic elastic modulus of cartilage, whereas the sharp AFM tip depicts the elastic properties of its fine structure. Additional measurements of cartilage stiffness following enzyme action revealed that elastase digestion of the collagen moiety lowered the modulus at the micrometer scale. In contrast, digestion of the proteoglycans moiety by cathepsin D had little effect on |E*| at the micrometer scale, but yielded a clear stiffening at the nanometer scale. Thus, cartilage compressive stiffness is different at the nanometer scale compared to the overall structural stiffness measured at the micrometer and larger scales because of the fine nanometer-scale structure, and enzyme-induced structural changes can affect this scale-dependent stiffness differently.

Mechanical Properties of Collagen Fibrils Biophysical Journal, Volume 93, Issue 4, 15 August 2007, Pages 1255-1263 Marco P.E. Wenger, Laurent Bozec, Michael A. Horton and Patrick Mesquida Abstract The formation of collagen fibers from staggered subfibrils still lacks a universally accepted model. Determining the mechanical properties of single collagen fibrils (diameter 50–200nm) provides new insights into collagen structure. In this work, the reduced modulus of collagen was measured by nanoindentation using atomic force microscopy. For individual type 1 collagen fibrils from rat tail, the modulus was found to be in the range from 5 GPa to 11.5GPa (in air and at room temperature). The hypothesis that collagen anisotropy is due to the subfibrils being aligned along the fibril axis is supported by nonuniform surface imprints performed by high load nanoindentation.

Micro- and Nanomechanical Analysis of Articular Cartilage by Indentation-Type Atomic Force Microscopy: Validation with a Gel-Microfiber Composite Biophysical Journal, Volume 98, Issue 11, 2 June 2010, Pages 2731-2740 Marko Loparic, Dieter Wirz, A.U. Daniels, Roberto Raiteri, Mark R. VanLandingham, Geraldine Guex, Ivan Martin, Ueli Aebi and Martin Stolz Abstract As documented previously, articular cartilage exhibits a scale-dependent dynamic stiffness when probed by indentation-type atomic force microscopy (IT-AFM). In this study, a micrometer-size spherical tip revealed an unimodal stiffness distribution (which we refer to as microstiffness), whereas probing articular cartilage with a nanometer-size pyramidal tip resulted in a bimodal nanostiffness distribution. We concluded that indentation of the cartilage's soft proteoglycan (PG) gel gave rise to the lower nanostiffness peak, whereas deformation of its collagen fibrils yielded the higher nanostiffness peak. To test our hypothesis, we produced a gel-microfiber composite consisting of a chondroitin sulfate-containing agarose gel and a fibrillar poly(ethylene glycol)-terephthalate/poly(butylene)-terephthalate block copolymer. In striking analogy to articular cartilage, the microstiffness distribution of the synthetic composite was unimodal, whereas its nanostiffness exhibited a bimodal distribution. Also, similar to the case with cartilage, addition of the negatively charged chondroitin sulfate rendered the gel-microfiber composite's water content responsive to salt. When the ionic strength of the surrounding buffer solution increased from 0.15 to 2 M NaCl, the cartilage's microstiffness increased by 21%, whereas that of the synthetic biomaterial went up by 31%. When the nanostiffness was measured after the ionic strength was raised by the same amount, the cartilage's lower peak increased by 28%, whereas that of the synthetic biomaterial went up by 34%. Of interest, the higher peak values remained unchanged for both materials. Taken together, these results demonstrate that the nanoscale lower peak is a measure of the soft PG gel, and the nanoscale higher peak measures collagen fibril stiffness. In contrast, the micrometer-scale measurements fail to resolve separate stiffness values for the PG and collagen fibril moieties. Therefore, we propose to use nanostiffness as a new biomarker to analyze structure-function relationships in normal, diseased, and engineered cartilage. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1095 kb) |

After budding from the host cell, retroviruses undergo a process of internal reorganization called maturation, which is prerequisite to infectivity. Viral maturation is accompanied by dramatic morphological changes, which are poorly understood in physical/mechanistic terms. Here, we study the mechanical properties of live mature and immature murine leukemia virus particles by indentation-type experiments conducted with an atomic force microscope tip. We find that both mature and immature particles have an elastic shell. Strikingly, the virus shell is twofold stiffer in the immature (0.68N/m) than the mature (0.31N/m) form. However, finite-element simulation shows that the average Young's modulus of the immature form is more than fourfold lower than that of the mature form. This finding suggests that per length unit, the protein-protein interactions in the mature shell are stronger than those in the immature shell. We also show that the mature virus shell is brittle, since it can be broken by application of large loading forces, by firm attachment to a substrate, or by repeated application of force. Our results are the first analysis of the mechanical properties of an animal virus, and demonstrate a linkage between virus morphology and mechanical properties.

I'm getting the error message in my console and I don't know why:
Uncaught Syntax error, unrecognized expression: )
the file it points to is the jquery.js file, line 16.
Here's my code:
var contact_number = $('#contact_details').val();
var call_order = $('#call_order').val();
var contact_type = $("#contact_types option:selected").val();
//prevent the user from adding the exact same entry.
var result = $('#rule_summary tr').find('td:contains(' + contact_number + ')');
The offending line is apparently the last one... where I'm trying to call the find method.
What I've tried so far:
I've changed the last line so it uses another variable instead of "contact_number" and the error message goes away. So, for example, I did this:
var result = $('#rule_summary tr').find('td:contains(' + call_order + ')');
I also double checked that the element I'm saving as "contact_number" is real / legit. In the console, I did this:
And it returns and empty set of quotes... which is what the value is on page load. When I fill in the text box with some garbage data and retry the console, it returns the correct results. for example:
I can't see what I'm doing wrong... any suggestions would be appreciated.

In New York City, yesterday, workers at fast food restaurants across the city went on strike. They are demanding higher wages and the right to unionize
Burger King, McDonald's, other fast food chains sought protests sounding like this one.
Here's NPR's Margot Adler.
MARGOT ADLER, BYLINE: A group of demonstrators in the middle of holiday craziness right near Macy's and Penn Station.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: When you are walking in purpose you're not alone, and these workers are not alone.
ADLER: About 100 protesters stand in front of a Burger King. Raymond Lopez, works at a McDonalds nine blocks away. The minimum wage is 7.25 an hour.
RAYMOND LOPEZ: Many people who work in this industry, no matter what brand they work for, when they are making 7.25, they have to rely on food stamps and other government help.
ADLER: Lopez makes 8.75 an hour, but he's a shift manager. He does two other jobs. For most workers, wages have been stagnant for years. These fast food workers want $15 an hour.
In a Reuters' news story, a McDonald's adviser said, there goes the dollar meal.
High turnover has always made organizing fast food workers difficult. Bernard Boumohl is an economist with the Economic Outlook Group in Princeton, New Jersey. He says given the number of out of work workers...
BERNARD BOUMOHL: There is no incentive for companies to ramp up wages and until there is greater clarity on what the economic outlook is going to be, this situation will only continue.
ADLER: Still, some say this is the first wage protest by fast food workers from multiple restaurants. Of course, it's happening in a city where costs are sky high and unions are strong.

IN THE FIELD: Spring Favorites
Some of my favorite flowering spring shrubs are the rhododendrons. I love to see the splash of color brightening the shady parts of a landscape. The blooms were long lasting this year since spring was actually… spring-like. Except for a few warm days, the temperatures have been much cooler compared to the last several seasons. I took this photo several weeks ago before the blooms faded till next season.

Well, the storms usually will show up in late afternoon after the heat and humidity have had a chance to build. It's interesting to watch the clouds build to enormous size. Typically storms are predicted for the area but don't always materialize. Or…it will rain on one side of the valley but not the other…which is really odd…we may be in full sun, but across the farmers field it will be pouring. The storms are short lived…15 minutes or so and then all is well.

Wow, these are beautiful, David. I remember those summer thunderstorms from when I lived in Ohio. It seemed those clouds would roll in and the rain pour down briefly every afternoon right around 4:00. I know it wasn't really every day – but it happened often enough to feel like that was the pattern. I loved it!

Noah…"I want you to build an ark"
"What's an ark?"
"It's a big boat. It needs to be 40 cubits by 120 cubits."
"Who is this really?"
"Its GOD"
"Sure………..What's a cubit?"
"And you have to get two each of every animal. One male and one female."
"Two each of EVERY animal? "Elephants? Do you know what that will be like? The mess…the noise…the smell?"
"Then I want you to set sail…to save the world"
"Oh great…why me?"
"Because you are the most qualified."
"Qualified? I'm just a regular guy…I go to work in the morning and come home in the afternoon….I don't know even know what an ark is."
"Just do it Noah" -

Thanks Jane, when I was shooting these they were just coming into full sun so I really had to hurry. In full sun the color gets washed out. They probably wouldn't have been in full sun for more than an hour, but I had to get going. Gotta wait till next spring for more!
