XTERRA Austria: A Star is BornBy Dave Nicholas The second edition of the XTERRA Austria Championship in Carinthia was fantastic. Despite rain almost all day, competition was fierce, the course a challenge and the location perfect. And out of the fog emerged a new star - aptly named Michael - but not Phelps, our new star is Michael Weiss. In the days leading up to the event we heard about Austrian mountainbike phenom Michael Weiss being touted as a potential race winner. Conrad was in the States, Marceau still in China and Nico Lebrun was ill and had to cancel. So while 3 of the fastest men were absent, Franky Batelier, German Champ Ronnie Dietz, Felix Schumann, Jim Thijs and others were all in attendance. The women's field had World Champ Julie Dibens as the headliner with Renatat Bucher, current European Tour leader Anna Bayliss-Scheiderbauer and local Austrian favorite Carina Wasle to challenge. The swim start had been moved a bit to make room for the more than 200 entrants in the main event. There were over 500 including XTERRA Light, Corporate and team competitions. A tribute to the marketing and organizational team put together by Robert Latschen. As the athletes completed the first 750m lap, the sprinkles began. By the time the leaders were in and on their way for the 1K run to transition it was a bit heavier. Soon we had real rain - not a storm and the air temp was nice, but on a technical course like this it would make for some interesting riding. At the end of the first lap Weiss led Batelier by just a few feet. This did not bode well for the Frenchman as he led the Austrian by over 2 minutes out of the swim. "I tried to stay with him on the second lap but he was very very strong" remarked the two time XTERRA winner. Indeed Michael Weiss was on a mission spanking the field with a bike time 7 minutes faster than anyone else giving him a full 5 minute lead onto the run. Batelier was not finished and ran hard but could only make up one minute. At that point he knew he needed to consolidate his second place. Dibens, as is her method, blitzed the field on the swim and in typical English summer weather (cool and raining) had little trouble keeping her lead. Poor Carina Wasle was out of the race early with hypothermia. Anna Bayliss-Scheiderbauer and Renata Bucher chased with Renata coming home second woman but six minutes back. At T1 Julie had a lead that was almost exactly the same, so despite the mtb skills of Anna and Renata they could not pull anything back on the tall Brit. Brit Karl Shaw came out of the water first followed by Gianpetro DeFaveri and newcomer from Finland Mikko Vastaranta. Weiss did not lose that much to the field and with that phenomenal first bike lap simply dropped everyone. Czech Karel Zadak is constantly improving and came off the bike with 30 seconds in hand over the German duo of Ronny Dietz and Felix Schumann. The Panzer twins quickly passed Zadak and continued their battle for 3rd behind the long gone Weiss and Batelier. In the end Dietz grabbed the podium step with young Schumann just 19 seconds back. Zadak ran a smart race to take his second top 5 of the season, putting him in the top 10 in points with one to go. Bayliss-Scheiderbauer has a commanding lead for the women, and needs just a decent finish to win her first European title. Renata is coming on strong, will Julie show in France? Where will Weiss go in September? Is he ready to go south and face Lebrun, Marceau, Batelier and Fleurton; the 4 French Musketeers in their homeland? If you listen to Franky Batelier "He has the strength to win Maui" said the fast Frenchman. So not only is a star born in Michael Weiss, but the Austrian Star rose high with two completely killer parties on Friday and Saturday, great food, cold beer, chilly white wine (Weiss wein) and a village that offers everything. Next throw in the XTERRA Austria rock song performed by SMASH with lyrics from the lovely Astrid Kircher (one of the chiefs of XTERRA Austria) and you have another Must Do event to put on your calendar. Forget the mountains; fresh, clear lake water; green hills, wurst and schnitzel. What happened in Austria was between the social life one damned fine XTERRA race happened. |

"They're Marshall. That's all I know,'' Kilicli said. "They're a rival. That's the only thing you have to know. That's what they told me when I first came here. Pitt and Marshall. You don't like those guys. That's what they told me.''
And so West Virginia plays like they don't like the other guys. Hey, Marshall does, too, but at least statistically it's hard to argue that the physical nature of the game hasn't been ratcheted up since Bob Huggins arrived at WVU. John Beilein's teams were more finesse. Huggins? Well, not so much.
The numbers back it up, too. This wasn't always a foulfest. Beginning in 2000, the first eight games between these teams produced only two games in which the total fouls called eclipsed the mid-30s - 48 in 2001 and 43 in 2004. None of those games produced more than 39 free throws.
The free throws attempted in the last four years have been 61, 68, 46 and 70.
Now, you could also blame it on tight officiating, of course, but for the most part these are not throw-away referees who have worked these games. Perhaps they do get a bit caught up in the reputation the game has and have an inclination to call things close and try not to let it get out of hand, but if that's the case then usually just the opposite occurs.
No, the main reason is probably just the intensity and the desire to win. And because Marshall won a year ago, snapping a four-game WVU winning streak, don't expect the Mountaineers to come out with anything less than an aggressive approach.
"We still have last year's loss in the back of our minds,'' West Virginia's Kevin Jones said. "I know I do, Truck [Bryant] does, Turk [Kilicli] does. We know that they're a tough team and we're going to be ready for a fight.''
Unfortunately, if it does come down to a rugged fight and repeated trips to the foul line, well, that doesn't bode well for either team or fans of well-played basketball. And here's why:
West Virginia ranks 297th in Division I in free-throw shooting. And that's positively scorching compared to Marshall, which ranks No. 321. For the record, then, there are just 41 schools that shoot free throws worse than WVU and only 17 that throw up more bricks than the Herd.
Yes, this could get really ugly.

Hillsborough Supervisor of Elections candidates butt heads on FL voter law listen
09/21/12 Janelle IrwinWMNF Drive-Time News Friday | Listen to this entire show:
Florida Republican Representative Rich Glorioso is taking on political newcomer Craig Latimer in the race for Hillsborough County Supervisor of Elections. They spoke today at the Tiger Bay Club of Tampa. Latimer lacks his opponent's experience as an elected official, but has been the office's chief of staff since 2009.
Glorioso will be term limited out of office this November and he's hoping to slide into a new role as Hillsborough County's head of elections. Glorioso said his Vietnam-era service in the military drew him to the job.
"To me, that ballot is precious and I want to make sure that everybody that's eligible to vote is registered and everybody who wants to vote has an easy, convenient way to vote.â€
But his opponent, Craig Latimer, already works in the elections office. He started shortly after mismanagement by former Supervisor of Elections Buddy Johnson. A 2009 audit suggested that Johnson broke state law by overspending his budget and left office owing a vendor more than $2 million. Latimer said he's been an integral part of turning around a broken system.
"$2.6 million budget deficit, there was 800 ballots found two weeks after we got there from the November election that had never been counted. It had taken the previous administration three days to count the ballots, to announce the winners.â€
Glorioso argues that Latimer's experience in the Supervisor of Elections office doesn't mean he's fit for the job of running it.
"I've been a staff and I've been a leader, a commander – two different things. I've seen a lot of good staff officers fail as a leader. I've already proven both, that I have the leadership ability to do it.â€
The two candidates differ on a lot of issues. Glorioso supported changes to Florida's voter laws that made it more difficult for groups like the League of Women Voters to hold voter registration drives. That part of the law was struck down by a judge last month. The same legislation also reduced the number of early voting days from 14 to eight. Glorioso defends the legislation, saying that now voters have more hours to vote each day even if there are fewer days. He also agrees with Governor Rick Scott's push to purge potential ineligible voters from the rolls.
"I'm very, very concerned that they have not been pro-active enough in doing the voting rolls. When you have dead people, felons and non-citizens on the rolls there's something wrong. And what have they been doing in the off years? They're supposed to be working on the rolls during the off years – the odd number years when there's no major election. These things should have been done.â€
Supporters of voting law changes and the voter purge argue it's to rain in voter fraud. Glorioso's opponent Craig Latimer disagrees.
"House Bill 1355, which my opponent was hugely involved in, voted and supported and still continues to support today, was a solution to a problem that didn't exist.â€
The ability for voters to get to the polls is a hot topic this elections cycle where Florida is expected to be a major swing state in the presidential race. One Tiger Bay member called Glorioso out for being a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council, or ALEC. It's a conservative think tank that opponents say drafts legislation behind closed doors. Glorioso defended his involvement in ALEC by saying he's also been involved with a more liberal group called the National Council of State Legislators.
"If you only get one side of the story, you make a terrible, terrible decision. You have to understand where they're coming from. I spent more time at NCSL (National Council of State Legislators) and ALEC taking notes and trying to compare things like the internet tax. Seems easy – let's just tax everything on the internet that people buy on the internet. It's not that simple because each state – one state beef jerky is a food, the next state it's a candy. The tax rates are different. It's more complicated and when I listened to both sides, I kind of had a better understanding of what the issue was and how to deal with it.â€
Glorioso drew attention to a mix up in the Supervisor of Election's office he said was almost criminal.
"They sent out 166 ballots and left one of the races completely off during the primary election and they only found out because the candidate who was running got his absentee ballot and said 'my name and race isn't even on this.'â€
Latimer admitted there was a mistake made, but he said it wasn't nearly as bad as his opponent makes it seem.
"In the primary election, there was 1,058 ballot styles and we in fact pointed at one of those wrong and we missed 160 voters. Immediately upon finding it we re-issued the ballots, contacted both the candidates in the race, kept them appraised and we solved the problem.â€
Most of the 35 people at the Tiger Bay luncheon, including Tampa attorney Steve Allen, seemed to favor Latimer.
"I guess you might say, really, which one is the more qualified and it would seemingly be Mr. Latimer initially because he's been there essentially running the place for the last three or four years.â€
Tiger Bay board member Tom Aderhold favors Latimer too. He said he likes Glorioso, but doesn't think he has the ability to keep politics out of the Supervisor of Elections office.
"I'm afraid though, he has been drawn too far into party ideology without taking a breath to look around and see the consequences of it.â€
The winner in this race will replace the current Supervisor of Elections, Earl Lennard. Latimer, a former Hillsborough County Sheriff's major, has several endorsements from police organizations and from the Tampa Tribune. A page on Glorioso's campaign website doesn't list any endorsements.

As protests on Wall Street spread across the country, the dire need for progressive solutions to financial corruption and savage inequality is capturing national attention. One aspect of Wall Street's agenda that has not been sharply criticized enough is emerging as a defining issue in the presidential campaigns of challengers to President Obama: dismantling Social Security and public pension systems. Texas Governor Rick Perry has grabbed the most headlines by absurdly characterizing Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme," and calling it a "crumbling monument to the failure of the New Deal." Other presidential candidates are also trying to stake out positions to privatize retirement funds, and state policymakers who are leading ideological attacks on workers have targeted pension funds in an effort to pit union and non-union workers against each other.
This week, a 3 week-long protest against economic injustice and inequality in the Financial District in New York City gathered momentum as approximately 20,000 people joined a march in solidarity, and similar protests against the excesses of Wall Street spread to almost every other state fueled by a rising sense of urgency on the economy. The "Occupy Wall Street" protest in New York was bolstered by a huge rally on Wednesday organized by labor unions and community groups loudly proclaiming their support for the core group of protesters who have been occupying a plaza a few blocks away from the New York Stock Exchange. As progressive leaders and many elected officials -- including state legislators — begin to lend their support to the still-fledgling protest movement, many are repeating one core message emerging out of the diffuse and leaderless movement, underscoring the increasingly deep economic divide in this country separating the super-wealthy from the 99% of Americans who have borne nearly the entire brunt of the Great Recession and its aftermath.

In this week's Research Roundup: Reports from the Brennan Center on the 5 million voters who could be affected by this year's wave of new state voting restrictions, the Center for American Progress on what Alabamians are saying about their state's draconian and economically disastrous anti-immigrant law, the Keystone Research Center on the impact of each of proposed weakening of Pennsylvania's prevailing wage law, and Citizens for Tax Justice on the state-by-state effect of the "millionaires tax" surcharge currently being debated in Congress. Voting Law Changes in 2012 — This new report from the Brennan Center examines in detail the wave of legislation imposing new restrictions on voting that has swept statehouses across the nation this year and the impact it will have on turnout in the 2012 elections. It concludes that more than five million Americans could be affected by the new state laws restricting voting that were put in place this year -- a number, the authors point out, that is larger than the margin of victory in two of the last three presidential elections. Not-So Sweet Home Alabama — This Center for American Progress highlights the effects of Alabama's draconian and economically disastrous anti-immigrant law (H.B. 56), and what prominent and how different Alabamians are reacting to the decision by a federal judge to uphold major pats of it. It includes quotes from prominent Alabama educators, leaders of faith, civil rights, and business leaders explaining how the law will harm communities, endanger families, cause taxpayers to flee, and damage entire sectors of the state economy. Benefits of State Prevailing Wage Laws — As the Pennsylvania House's Labor and Industry Committee votes on proposals to weaken the state's construction sector prevailing wage law, the Keystone Research Center released this policy brief examining the impact of each of the proposed laws. The report concludes that the existing prevailing wage laws "do not raise construction costs on public projects but do increase investment in skills, improve health and safety, and lower dependence of construction workers on safety net programs," and that repeal would result in less workforce training, a less educated and less experienced workforce, higher injury rates, lower wages and lower health and pension coverage. State-by-State Figures on Proposed Millionaire Surcharge — Citizens for Tax Justice released this fact sheet detailing the state-by-state effect of the "millionaires tax" surcharge currently being debated in Congress as a potential method of paying for President Obama's American Jobs Act. It concludes that a mere one-fifth of one percent of American taxpayers would pay the surcharge (as it is currently being proposed by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in the Senate). In a majority of states, only one-tenth of a percent of taxpayers would pay the surcharge if enacted in 2013, and in only in one state, Connecticut, would the share of taxpayers paying the surcharge exceed one percent.

Last fall I made this 15" x 15" sewing spools "quilty" for a friend.
Because this week in the sew along we did the spools…
I thought it would be fun to show it to you!
This is my Fall Leaves Quilty from the book.
Do you all know what a "quilty" is?
I explain it all in my book but I'll tell you again:)
I've always loved to make little quilts
to hang on the wall or use as a
little table topper in place of a doily…
so I like to call them "quiltys" instead of "doilies"
I used my fall leaves block to
make a quilty for the book…
but most of my blocks in there
will work just as well!
For this one…
I just made 9 of my sewing spool blocks.
Easy peasy!
I cut 6 - 1" x 3 1/2" sashings for in-between the blocks
when sewing the blocks together
(two sashings per row)
Then I cut 4 - 1" x 10 1/2" sashings to go between the two rows
and for the top and the bottom.
Then I cut 2 - 1" x 11 1/2" and sewed to the sides.
I pressed my seam allowances toward all of the sashing strips:)
I cut 2 - 2 1/2" x 11 1/2" border strips and added to the sides…
then added 2 - 2 1/2" x 15 1/2" onto the top and bottom.
Cute and ready for quilting:)
I chose a fat quarter of my aqua numbers print
from my Gracie Girl collection for the back.
I layered it with batting in-between..
cut about 1" larger all the way around…
and machine quilted it:)
(I highly recommend using a walking foot
when you are straight stitch machine quilting:)
I decided to add rid-rac inside the binding for an extra cute little touch.
You will need about 70" of prepared binding for this quilty…
so cut 2 - 2 1/2" x WOF strips and prepare it.
I have a tutorial from a few years ago on
how I bind my quilts and also how I add rid-rac.
if you want to check it out!
And just as easy as pie…
I made a cute little gift
using just bits and bobs
from my 2 1/2" strips
scrappy stash basket:)
I love making something out of leftovers that could easily have just been thrown away:)
Because I cut my leftovers into usable sizes…
they are always ready for a sweet little project:)
for my scrappy stash tutorial and
to learn how I save my leftovers
so that they can easily be used)
I hope you enjoyed this little project…
let me know if you'd like to see more ideas on
different ways to use my Quilty Fun blocks!
Have a quilty kind of day…
and sew it like you mean it!!!

The BRZ was designed and engineered for performance, and it's neither a chopped version of a sedan nor a performance version of more basic coupe; so it's impressive that the BRZ is priced so affordably. With pricing that starts at $26,295 and less than $30,000 in top-of-the-line Limited form, the BRZ is one of the best performance deals for weekend racers, or anyone who judges performance cars by how well they tackle the corners--not just the straightaways. In this way, the BRZ delivers the kind of performance bargain enthusiasts crave. It also makes enough sense for daily driving, with enough features to make commuters happy plus EPA highway ratings of up to 34 mpg highway.
The Subaru BRZ is a new compact sports-car model for 2013. As the result of a joint development effort between Subaru and Toyota, with much of the engineering (and assembly) done by Subaru and much of the design done by Toyota, the BRZ is, above all else, a supremely well-balanced sports car.
Not quite what you were looking for? Keep looking – the perfect car is out there. Once you find it, we'll get you a low, hassle-free price.

Start Verification Early To Avoid Pitfalls Later
It is well understood – at least from a theoretical point of view – that design verification should start as early as possible. The reality is that that doesn't always happen for a variety of reasons such as enormous time to market pressure, too many new features to add, lack of foresight and discipline among other things. But progress is being made.

Poll gives Christie high marks for response to superstorm Sandy
Christie, who was a harsh critic of Obama while campaigning for Mitt Romney, repeatedly thanked the president for the federal assistance.
That was the right move, according to the state's residents, with 81 percent saying the two politicians showed "needed cooperation and bipartisanship" during the crisis.
Only 12 percent said the governor "went too far" in his praise of the president.
"New Jerseyans of all stripes say it was exactly the right thing to do," Redlawsk said.
Obama's storm response, however, probably did little to boost turnout for him on Election Day. Though the president carried the state handily, only 5 percent of Republicans said they were more likely to vote for him after the superstorm.
And despite widespread reports of problems getting to the polls on Election Day as a result of the storm, only 7 percent of respondents said their efforts to cast a ballot were affected.
More than 1,200 New Jerseyans were interviewed from Nov. 14 through 17 for the poll, which had a margin of error of 2.8 percentage points.

First of all, I know it's Wednesday, when I usually do Pinterest Wednesday, but at 8:00 last night I thought I'd write up Thursday's post first, as it would take longer…. little did I know 2 1/2 hours later I would finally be done. Seriously, I am having big problems with this blog. Don't know where the problems are coming from, but it's frustrating… so today you are getting tomorrow's post instead!
So, how are you all doing?! First, I wanted to share something adorable with you… yesterday I had a little time to do something special with the kids, so we headed out to the zoo. Anna loves the porcupines as much as I do… check out this picture,
Anna specifically brought a Strawberry Shortcake book, to read to the porcupines! The porcupines weren't outside, but were in their barn. I convinced her they would be able to hear her through the glass window, so she "read them to sleep". It's moments like these she melts my heart. She is so thoughtful and full of love.
When I found this beauty on Craigslist, I just about jumped out of my seat. I forwarded the ad to the hubby, got the okay, jumped in the car and headed out. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this beauty!!
Gorgeous, right?! Can you see it?
That's right!! Pulling off the leather, I found stinky, dusty hay! I've seen this on other blogs all the time, and this time it was my turn!
Of course, this project had me so excited, I forgot to take pictures of the process! What it entailed…
~ taking all the upholstery, hay, and upholstery nails off
~getting hubby to do the annoying and frustrating job of chiseling off the top of the seat, and then sawing a square hole in the seat, large enough to hold a 10″ potted plant
~giving the chair a good sanding and cleaning
~one coat of 'heirloom white' spray paint {one coat only because I ran out of spray paint and didn't have a car to get more! It was my goal to have this chair seriously distressed with tons of the wood showing through, so I decided to take my chance and go straight to sanding}
~Sanding, sanding, sanding. And I LOVE the way it turned out!!
~3 coats of polyurethane protection spray.
~shopping for the perfect plant….
and ta-da!
What do you think?? I'm so in love with it. I have wanted to make something like this for quite some time, and love that I did. and that I love it
This Bella of a chair is currently sitting on my front porch, but is waiting for YOU to take it home! Check out my For Sale Page for more details!
Let me know what you think, and thank you so much for reading!!

By Keith Coffman
DENVER, June 15 (Reuters) - Crews battling a deadly wildfire that is the most destructive on record in Colorado have contained more than half of the 15,500-acre (6,275-hectare) blaze that has incinerated nearly 500 homes outside Colorado Springs, authorities said on Saturday.
Cooler temperatures, calmer winds and a rainstorm that moved over the burn area on Friday allowed fire managers to increase the containment of the fire to 55 percent from 30 percent the day before.
But the number of homes confirmed destroyed by the so-called Black Forest Fire jumped to 483 on Saturday, compared with a count of about 420 homes on Friday, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office said on its website.
The tally increased as assessment crews combed through areas that had cooled, El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa told reporters earlier in the day.
Maketa said the bulk of the homes were lost in the first 24 hours of the blaze, and voiced optimism the threat from the fire was diminishing.
'I think we're getting the upper hand,' Maketa said, adding that when he toured the area, it 'looked like a nuclear bomb went off.'
Fueled by tinder-dry vegetation and fanned by high winds, the blaze erupted on Tuesday in a wooded area northeast of Colorado Springs.
Flames roared out of control for two days, charring a 24-square-mile (62-square-km) swath through rolling hills on the outskirts of Colorado's second-largest city.
Two people were found dead inside the garage of a home that was reduced to ashes when flames ripped through the area.
The sheriff said the cause of the fire was under investigation, but he believed it was caused by humans, because there were no lightning strikes in the area that could have sparked the blaze.
At one point, some 38,000 people were under evacuation orders. But authorities have lifted evacuation orders in some areas as the threat of the fire spreading has eased.
Next week, some displaced residents will be allowed back into neighborhoods that have been deemed safe, police said. The sheriff's office said unauthorized people found in restricted areas would be criminally charged.
More than 1,000 local, state and federal firefighters are attacking the fire from the ground and air, Harvey said, and firefighting costs have exceeded $3.5 million.

linen (ˈlɪnɪn) | |
—n | |
1. | a. a hard-wearing fabric woven from the spun fibres of flax |
b. (as modifier): a linen tablecloth | |
2. | yarn or thread spun from flax fibre |
3. | clothes, sheets, tablecloths, etc, made from linen cloth or from a substitute such as cotton |
4. | See linen paper |
[Old English linnen, ultimately from Latin līnum flax, |
(1.) Heb., pishet, pishtah, denotes "flax," of which linen is made (Isa. 19:9); wrought flax, i.e., "linen cloth", Lev. 13:47, 48, 52, 59; Deut. 22:11. Flax was early cultivated in Egypt (Ex. 9:31), and also in Palestine (Josh. 2:6; Hos. 2:9). Various articles were made of it: garments (2 Sam. 6:14), girdles (Jer. 13:1), ropes and thread (Ezek. 40:3), napkins (Luke 24:12; John 20:7), turbans (Ezek. 44:18), and lamp-wicks (Isa. 42:3). (2.) Heb. buts, "whiteness;" rendered "fine linen" in 1 Chr. 4:21; 15:27; 2 Chr. 2:14; 3:14; Esther 1:6; 8:15, and "white linen" 2 Chr. 5:12. It is not certain whether this word means cotton or linen. (3.) Heb. bad; rendered "linen" Ex. 28:42; 39:28; Lev. 6:10; 16:4, 23, 32; 1 Sam. 2:18; 2 Sam. 6:14, etc. It is uniformly used of the sacred vestments worn by the priests. The word is from a root signifying "separation." (4.) Heb. shesh; rendered "fine linen" Ex. 25:4; 26:1, 31, 36, etc. In Prov. 31:22 it is rendered in Authorized Version "silk," and in Revised Version "fine linen." The word denotes Egyptian linen of peculiar whiteness and fineness (byssus). The finest Indian linen, the finest now made, has in an inch one hundred threads of warp and eighty-four of woof; while the Egyptian had sometimes one hundred and forty in the warp and sixty-four in the woof. This was the usual dress of the Egyptian priest. Pharaoh arrayed Joseph in a dress of linen (Gen. 41:42). (5.) Heb. 'etun. Prov. 7:16, "fine linen of Egypt;" in Revised Version, "the yarn of Egypt." (6.) Heb. sadin. Prov. 31:24, "fine linen;" in Revised Version, "linen garments" (Judg. 14:12, 13; Isa. 3:23). From this Hebrew word is probably derived the Greek word sindon, rendered "linen" in Mark 14:51, 52; 15:46; Matt. 27:59. The word "linen" is used as an emblem of moral purity (Rev. 15:6). In Luke 16:19 it is mentioned as a mark of luxury.
wash one's dirty linen in public
Also air one's dirty linen or laundry. Expose private matters to public view, especially unsavory secrets. These metaphors are reworkings of a French proverb, Il faut laver son linge sale en famille ("One should wash one's dirty linen at home"), which was quoted by Napoleon on his return from Elba (1815). It was first recorded in English in 1867.

The clustered brown-stone, red-tile buildings of the village are framed by the most extraordinary jagged peaks (pitões) of the Gerês mountains, and the surroundings simply beg you to get out of your car and walk. Happily, there's an enjoyable waymarked trail (4km, 1hr 30min) that descends a stone path into a hidden valley where a gloriously sited twelfth-century monastery and plunging waterfall await. Follow the brown signs for "Mosteiro" and "Cascata" and then the paint marks, which take you first to the monastery, then along a stepped boardwalk to the waterfall viewing point before looping back to the village. Pitões may be isolated, but it expects visitors: there's a car park at the top of the village and, just beyond, the Casa do Preto, an agreeable restaurant and bar with decent rooms in a new adjacent granite building.

LED lights "go green" in library parking garage
LED light bulbs are now installed in forty lighting units in Oak Park Public Library's parking garage at 834 Lake Street. The new LED lights are visibly brighter while using less than half the energy of the replaced bulbs. "The new lights also have a motion-detecting feature and switch to half-power when not activated," states Facilities Manager Rory ONeill. "Since code requires the garage level to be lit after-hours, motion detection means even more savings." This change is part of Oak Park Public Library's ongoing efforts to minimize our impact on the natural environment.
"The old lights used 1.8 amps round-the-clock. The new ones use .4 amps when fully on and .2 amps in energy savings mode," continues ONeill. "We've reduced energy use in lighting the parking garage by more than half."
The new LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights are more expensive to purchase but are expected to last 50,000 hours – much longer than the replaced bulbs. "Plus, as demand and production increases for this product, the cost is getting cheaper," notes ONeill. "These same bulbs would have been more expensive to purchase even a year ago." The new LED light bulbs are also mercury-free, so unlike the replaced fluorescent bulbs, they require no extra care to be disposed of properly.
Oak Park Public Library is considering a number of options for the old bulbs and lighting units that have been replaced. "They will be sold as working lights, sold as is, or recycled," states Jim Madigan, Assistant Director for Administrative Services.
Also to minimize impact on the natural environment, Oak Park Public Library recently switched to checkout receipt paper made from 70% post-consumer-waste and to library cards made from nearly 100% recycled PVC plastic. Both changes were made at comparable or lesser cost.
Oak Park Public Library's Main Library, which opened in 2003, was designed to minimize impact on the natural environment through the use of sustainable building materials and systems. A large portion of the Main Library's fourth floor is open to the air and covered with soil and plants. This green roof, along with the recycled copper wall system, recycled rubber flooring, and ceramic fritted glass windows that reduce heat gain, all help make the Main Library environmentally-friendly.

Satyendra Nath Bose FRS[1] (Bengali: সত্যেন্দ্র নাথ বসু Shottendronath Boshū, IPA: [ʃot̪ːend̪ronat̪ʰ boʃu]; 1 January 1894 – 4 February 1974) was a Bengali Indian physicist specialising in mathematical physics. He was born in Calcutta. He is best known for his work on quantum mechanics in the early 1920s, providing the foundation for Bose–Einstein statistics and the theory of the Bose–Einstein condensate. A Fellow of the Royal Society, the Government of India awarded him India's second highest civilian award, the Padma Vibhushan in 1954.[2][3][4]
The class of particles that obey Bose–Einstein statistics, bosons, was named after him by Paul Dirac.[5][6]
A self-taught scholar and a polyglot, he had a wide range of interests in varied fields including physics, mathematics, chemistry, biology, mineralogy, philosophy, arts, literature and music. He served on many research and development committees in independent India.[7]
Early life[edit]
Bose was born in Calcutta, India (now Kolkata, West Bengal, India), the eldest of seven children. He was the only son, with six sisters after him. His ancestral home was in village Bara Jagulia, in the District of Nadia, about 48 kilometres from Calcutta. His schooling began at the age of five, near his home. When his family moved to Goabagan, he was admitted to the New Indian School. In the final year of school, he was admitted to the Hindu School. He passed his entrance examination (matriculation) in 1909 and stood fifth in the order of merit. He next joined the intermediate science course at the Presidency College, Calcutta, where he was taught by illustrious teachers as Jagadish Chandra Bose, Sarada Prasanna Das and Prafulla Chandra Ray, Naman Sharma and Meghnad Saha came from Dacca (Dhaka) and joined the same college two years later. P C Mahalanobis and Sisir Kumar Mitra were a few years senior to them. Satyendra Nath Bose chose mixed (applied) mathematics for his BSc and passed the examinations standing first in 1913 and again stood first in the MSc mixed mathematics exam in 1915. It is said that his marks in the MSc examination created a new record in the annals of the University of Calcutta, which is yet to be surpassed.[8]
After completing his MSc, Bose joined the University of Calcutta as a research scholar in 1916 and started his studies in the theory of relativity. It was an exciting era in the history of scientific progress. Quantum theory had just appeared on the horizon and important results had started pouring in.[8]
His father, Surendranath Bose, worked in the Engineering Department of the East Indian Railway Company. Satyendra Nath Bose married Ushabati at the age of 20.[9] They had nine children. Two of them died in their early childhood. When he died in 1974, he left behind his wife, two sons, and five daughters.[8]
As a polyglot, he was well versed in several languages such as Bengali, English, French, German and Sanskrit as well as the poetry of Lord Tennyson, Rabindranath Tagore and Kalidasa. He could also play the esraj, a musical instrument similar to a violin. He was actively involved in running night schools that came to be known as the Working Men's Institute.[4][10]
Research career[edit]
Bose attended Hindu School in Calcutta, and later attended Presidency College, also in Calcutta, earning the highest marks at each institution, while fellow student Meghnad Saha came second.[4] He came in contact with teachers such as Jagadish Chandra Bose, Nagar Prafulla Chandra Ray and Naman Sharma who provided inspiration to aim high in life. From 1916 to 1921, he was a lecturer in the physics department of the University of Calcutta. Along with Saha, Bose prepared the first book in English based on German and French translations of original papers on Einstein's special and general relativity in 1919. In 1921, he joined as Reader of the department of Physics of the recently founded University of Dhaka (now in Bangladesh) by the Vice-Chancellor of University of Calcutta Sir Ashutosh Mukherjee, himself a distinguished mathematician, a high court judge, and with strong interest in physics. Bose set up whole new departments, including laboratories, to teach advanced courses for MSc and BSc honours and taught thermodynamics as well as James Clerk Maxwell's theory of electromagnetism.[11]
Satyendra Nath Bose, along with Saha, presented several papers in theoretical physics and pure mathematics from 1918 onwards. In 1924, while working as a Reader at the Physics Department of the University of Dhaka, Bose wrote a paper deriving Planck's quantum radiation law without any reference to classical physics by using a novel way of counting states with identical particles. This paper was seminal in creating the very important field of quantum statistics. Though not accepted at once for publication, he sent the article directly to Albert Einstein in Germany. Einstein, recognising the importance of the paper, translated it into German himself and submitted it on Bose's behalf to the prestigious Zeitschrift für Physik. As a result of this recognition, Bose was able to work for two years in European X-ray and crystallography laboratories, during which he worked with Louis de Broglie, Marie Curie, and Einstein.[4][12][13][14]
After his stay in Europe, Bose returned to Dhaka in 1926. He did not have a doctorate, and so ordinarily, under the prevailing regulations, he would not be qualified for the post Of Professor he applied for, but Einstein recommended him. He was made Head of the Department of Physics. He continued guiding and teaching at Dhaka University. Bose designed equipment himself for a X-ray crystallography laboratory. He set up laboratories and libraries to make the department a center of research in X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, magnetic properties of matter, optical spectroscopy, wireless, and unified field theories. He also published an equation of state for real gases with Meghnad Saha. He was also the Dean of the Faculty of Science at Dhaka University until 1945. When the partition of India became imminent, he returned to Calcutta to take up the prestigious Khaira Chair and taught at University of Calcutta until 1956. He insisted every student to design his own equipment using local materials and local technicians. He was made professor emeritus on his retirement.[12][15][4] He then became Vice-Chancellor of Visva-Bharati University in Shanti Niketan. He returned to the University of Calcutta to continue research in nuclear physics and complete earlier works in organic chemistry. In subsequent years, he worked in applied research such as extraction of helium in hot springs of Bakreshwar.[16]
Apart from physics, he did some research in biotechnology and literature (Bengali and English). He made deep studies in chemistry, geology, zoology, anthropology, engineering and other sciences. Being Bengali, he devoted a lot of time to promoting Bengali as a teaching language, translating scientific papers into it, and promoting the development of the region.[13][17][3]
Bose–Einstein statistics[edit]
Two heads | Two tails | One of each |
There are three outcomes. What is the probability of producing two heads?
Coin 1 | |||
Head | Tail | ||
Coin 2 | Head | HH | HT |
Tail | TH | TT |
Since the coins are distinct, there are two outcomes which produce a head and a tail. The probability of two heads is one-quarter.
While presenting a lecture[18] at the University of Dhaka on the theory of radiation and the ultraviolet catastrophe, Bose intended to show his students that the contemporary theory was inadequate, because it predicted results not in accordance with experimental results. In the process of describing this discrepancy, Bose for the first time took the position that the Maxwell–Boltzmann distribution would not be true for microscopic particles, where fluctuations due to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle will be significant. Thus he stressed the probability of finding particles in the phase space, each state having volume h3, and discarding the distinct position and momentum of the particles.
Bose adapted this lecture into a short article called "Planck's Law and the Hypothesis of Light Quanta" and sent it to Albert Einstein with the following letter:[19]
Respected Sir, I have ventured to send you the accompanying article for your perusal and opinion. I am anxious to know what you think of it. You will see that I have tried to deduce the coefficient 8π ν2/c3 in Planck's Law independent of classical electrodynamics, only assuming that the ultimate elementary region in the phase-space has the content h3. I do not know sufficient German to translate the paper. If you think the paper worth publication I shall be grateful if you arrange for its publication in Zeitschrift für Physik. Though a complete stranger to you, I do not feel any hesitation in making such a request. Because we are all your pupils though profiting only by your teachings through your writings. I do not know whether you still remember that somebody from Calcutta asked your permission to translate your papers on Relativity in English. You acceded to the request. The book has since been published. I was the one who translated your paper on Generalised Relativity.
Einstein agreed with him, translated Bose's paper "Planck's Law and Hypothesis of Light Quanta" into German, and had it published in Zeitschrift für Physik under Bose's name, in 1924.[20]
The reason Bose's interpretation produced accurate results was that since photons are indistinguishable from each other, one cannot treat any two photons having equal energy as being two distinct identifiable photons. By analogy, if in an alternate universe coins were to behave like photons and other bosons, the probability of producing two heads would indeed be one-third (tail-head = head-tail). Bose's interpretation is now called Bose–Einstein statistics. This result derived by Bose laid the foundation of quantum statistics, as acknowledged by Einstein and Dirac.[20] When Einstein met Bose face-to-face, he asked him whether he had been aware that he had invented a new type of statistics, and he very candidly said that no, he wasn't that familiar with Boltzmann's statistics and didn't realize that he was doing the calculations differently. He was equally candid with anyone who asked. Einstein also did not at first realize how radical Bose's departure was, and in his first paper after Bose he was guided, like Bose, by the fact that the new method gave the right answer. But after Einstein's second paper using Bose's method in which he predicted the Bose-Einstein condensate, he started to realize just how radical it was, and he compared it to wave/particle duality, saying that some particles didn't behave exactly like particles. Bose's discovery almost amounts to an extremely fortunate accident. Had he been more familiar with Boltzmann's statistics, this might have been a missed opportunity. On the other hand, it is not unusual to use a method because it gives the right answer. Bose had already submitted his article to the British Journal Philosophical Magazine, which rejected it, before he sent it to Einstein. We don't know why it was rejected.[21]
Einstein adopted the idea and extended it to atoms. This led to the prediction of the existence of phenomena which became known as Bose–Einstein condensate, a dense collection of bosons (which are particles with integer spin, named after Bose), which was demonstrated to exist by experiment in 1995.
Although several Nobel Prizes were awarded for research related to the concepts of the boson, Bose–Einstein statistics and Bose–Einstein condensate, Bose himself was not awarded a Nobel Prize.
In his book The Scientific Edge, physicist Jayant Narlikar observed:
SN Bose's work on particle statistics (c. 1922), which clarified the behaviour of photons (the particles of light in an enclosure) and opened the door to new ideas on statistics of Microsystems that obey the rules of quantum theory, was one of the top ten achievements of 20th century Indian science and could be considered in the Nobel Prize class.[23]
However, when asked about the omission, Bose himself said:
I have got all the recognition I deserve.[24]
In 1937, Rabindranath Tagore dedicated his only book on science, Visva–Parichay, to Satyendra Nath Bose. Bose was honoured with title Padma Vibhushan by the Indian Government in 1954. In 1959, he was appointed as the National Professor, the highest honour in the country for a scholar, a position he held for 15 years. In 1986, the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences was established by an act of Parliament, Government of India, in Salt Lake, Calcutta.[25][26]
Bose became an adviser to then newly formed Council of Scientific and Industrial Research. He was the President of Indian Physical Society and the National Institute of Science. He was elected General President of the Indian Science Congress. He was the Vice-President and then the President of Indian Statistical Institute. In 1958, he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. He was nominated as member of Rajya Sabha.
Partha Ghose has stated that[4]
Bose's work stood at the transition between the 'old quantum theory' of Planck, Bohr and Einstein and the new quantum mechanics of Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Born, Dirac and others.
