Early Life and Career
Businessman and Titanic survivor Joseph Bruce Ismay was born on December 12, 1862, in Crosby, Liverpool, England. J. Bruce Ismay was the eldest son born to Thomas Ismay, partner of Ismay, Imrie and Company and founder of the White Star Line. The younger Ismay was educated at Elstree School and in France before going to work for his father. He served as White Star Line's company agent in New York before returning to England in 1891 and being made partner.
Titanic Voyage
After his father died in 1899, Bruce Ismay took the helm at Ismay, Imrie and Company. He merged the White Star Line with other shipping companies to form the International Mercantile Marine Company. In 1907, he and partner Lord Pirrie decided to build a new ship in response to the growing demand for luxury at sea. The RMS Titanic was to be the largest, most luxurious ship in the world.
On April 10, 1912, Ismay boarded the Titanic for its maiden voyage, a tradition he followed for all of the company's ships. After he survived the sinking, Ismay started a fund to benefit the widows of lost seamen. He was married to Julia Florence Schieffelin; they had two sons and two daughters. He died on October 17, 1937.

Getting greener without falling into the red
CORONADO, Calif.--There's more than one kind of "green" in the eyes of the world's corporations.
More and more companies are starting to realize that they can enjoy the PR benefits of turning "green," by reducing their carbon footprint through energy savings or changes to their products. But every CEO always has another shade of green somewhere in the back of his or her mind. Companies need to reduce their impact on the environment, but that doesn't mean they can afford to implement every single green idea, or that they even know where … Read more

DHA and Brain
Find Us On :
The Following is a Sponsored Resource. The sponsor of this content has editorial control.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is an omega 3 long chain polyunsaturated essential fatty acid which is important constituent of the phospholipid membrane of neuronal cells. In young children it enhances the neuronal development and cognitive functions whereas in older age it decreases progression of neurodegenerative disorders. The most important source of DHA is fish oil whereas infants depend on maternal DHA. However, diet of children is usually poor in DHA and DHA fortified food supplements become essential to maintain the DHA content in the body.
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
is the most abundant omega-3 (n-3) long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) in the brain and retina. It constitutes 40% of the PUFA in the brain & 60% of the PUFA in the retina. Fifty percent of the weight of the neuron's plasma membrane is composed of DHA (1).
Effect of LC-PUFA on brain:
Both n-3 and n-6 LC-PUFA play important roles in neuronal growth, development of synaptic processing of neural cell interaction, and expression of genes regulating cell differentiation and growth (2). It has been shown that differentiation and functioning of cultured brain cells requires not only alpha linolenic acid (ALA, precursor of DHA) but also very long n-6 and n-3 PUFA. ALA deficiency alters the course of brain development, perturbs the composition and physicochemical properties of brain cell membranes, neurones, oligodendrocytes and astrocytes. This results in neurosensory and behavioral changes. ALA deficiency induces more marked abnormalities in frontal cortex and pituitary gland as compared to other areas of the brain. Thus intellectual abilities, cognition, behavioral aspects, neuropsychiatric disorders are affected by
Effect of DHA on brain:
DHA is found in three phospholipids: phosphatidylethanolamine, ethanolamine plasmalogens and phosphatidyl serine (PS). These phospholipids are important constituents of plasma membrane of the neurons. DHA modulates the carrier-mediated transport of choline, glycine and taurine and the function of delayed rectifier potassium channels (4). Low DHA levels lower neural cell phosphatidyl serine and increase neural cell death (5).
It has been found that total n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids increase in the whole forebrain during the prenatal and post natal periods up to at least 2 years of age (6). Low maternal DHA is linked to poor child neural development and improving maternal DHA by supplementation decreases that risk (7).
In preterm and term babies, provision of n-3 LC PUFA is important for brain development. Human milk is a good source of DHA provided maternal DHA levels are normal. In young children, neurodevelopment and cognitive abilities are also enhanced by early provision of n-3 LC PUFA through milk or DHA fortified foods (8). Evidence supporting the potential importance of n-3 LC PUFA consumption for good cognitive health in older age is now emerging. Recent cross-sectional surveys have reported that higher n-3 LC PUFA consumption are associated with reduced risk of impaired cognitive function and prospective cohort studies have shown decreased risk of dementia in older people (2, 8, 9, 10). Recent evidence also indicates that in addition to the positive effects seen in chronic neurodegenerative conditions, omega-3 PUFA may also have significant neuro protective potential in acute neurological injury (11).
Sources of DHA:
The DHA status of the newborn and breast-fed infant depends on the maternal intake of DHA and varies widely (7). DHA is enzymatically synthesized from ALA in liver but this synthesis is very limited. Also there is age-related reduction of hepatic desaturase activity (which participate in synthesis of LC-PUFA) (3). Thus, DHA is an essential fatty acid that is required from dietary sources. The main source of DHA are fish oils. Vegetable oils like flaxseed or linseed oil, rapeseed oil or canola oil, peanut oil, olive oil, soya oil, walnut oil, green leafy vegetables, fenugreek seeds, kidney beans, dry fruits are also sources of DHA (12). Inadequate intake of n-3 PUFA decrease DHA and increase n-6 PUFA in the brain. Western diets as well as diet in developing countries are low in n-3 PUFA (7) whereas consumption of n-6 fatty acids is higher. The ideal ratio of n-6 and n-3 PUFA in diet should be 5-10:1 for optimal health benefits (13). DHA is also commercially manufactured from microalgae; crypthe codinium cohnii and schizochytrium (14) which is vegetarian.
Brain growth in children:
The human brain begins forming by 3rd week of gestation and 100 billion neurons are formed during first 5 months of gestation. Recent evidence suggests that new neurons are produced throughout life though far less rapidly and probably in numbers sufficient only to replace those that gradually die off (15). However brain size increases more gradually; a newborn's brain is only quarter the size of an adult (bout 360-380 gm), grows to about 80% of adult size by three years of age (1090-1270 gms) and 90% by 5 years of age. Adult brain size is (1170-1310 gms) (16). Brain growth is largely due to growth of the dendrites of the neurons. Myelination begins around birth and is most rapid in the first 2 years but continues as late as 30 years. The number of synapses in the cerebral cortex peaks within first few years of life but then declines by about one third between early childhood and adolescence (15). Thus brain development is most sensitive to a child's nutrition in fetal period, in first 2 years of life and early childhood. Because of rapid pace of myelination in early life, children need a higher level of fat and fatty acids in their diet (15). With 2/3rd of the human brain weight being phospholipids and DHA being an important part of phospholipids, adequate DHA content is crucial for brain development (17).
Omega-3 fatty acids especially DHA are essential for brain development in infants and children and for decreasing neuropsychiatric disorders and cognitive dysfunction in older age.

Local view: Food for thought: Time for campus to connect with the community
I read with excitement the March 11 business-page story, "Locally grown food moving mainstream in Northland," which highlighted the important announcement by Duluth's Essentia Health Systems that it would be purchasing 20 percent of its food from local sources by 2020, which would be in line with the Superior Compact.By: Judy Breuer, for the News Tribune
I read with excitement the March 11 business-page story, "Locally grown food moving mainstream in Northland," which highlighted the important announcement by Duluth's Essentia Health Systems that it would be purchasing 20 percent of its food from local sources by 2020, which would be in line with the Superior Compact. As Essentia Health's director of nutrition services highlighted, "Supporting local food production fits with (its) mission of making a healthy difference in people's lives."
This public-health imperative, and likely Essentia's rationale, was the overarching theme of a recent Good Food Transforming our Region Summit, which drew regional and national experts to Duluth. Keynote speeches by the director of the Carlton-Cook-Lake-St. Louis Community Health Board and by a nationally recognized physician helped us better understand the seriousness of the very poor health status in our region and the evidence linking our industrial food system to impacts that extend far beyond obesity.
Participants learned about research at the University of Minnesota Duluth showing we can grow enough food in our region to feed ourselves (if we give up bananas and coffee — and despite our climate and poor soils) while generating more than $1 billion in local economic activity. In fact, this research became the basis of the Superior Compact, the 20 percent local-purchasing commitment now signed by Essentia, St. Luke's and many others.
Participants, summit volunteers, UMD students and others at the summit were excited and motivated to learn through presentations and workshops about the important interconnections between food, agriculture, health, community, environment, culture, education, obesity and hunger.
The excitement, however, was severely tested during one workshop. After an impressive and inspiring presentation from Northland College, which also has signed the Superior Compact and is working with local farms to go from its current 20 percent local food procurement to a goal of 80 percent, we attendees heard from UMD Food Service. We learned UMD shifted from a 100 percent beef burger back to one with bread filler without informing students. For those with celiac disease or wheat allergies, this was massively concerning.
The local beef initiative in UMD's Center Court restaurant (which made headlines in the News Tribune in 2012) still was not labeled or marked. One audience member said she recently had to ask the Center Court workers if the beef was still local and why it wasn't marked. Finally, we gained understanding that UMD food service did not have any forward-moving goals regarding sustainability or any of these issues. To say we were shocked would be an understatement.
This fall, the University of Minnesota Center for Urban and Regional Affairs published research by UMD professor David Syring showing that in our region 88 percent of those surveyed look at food labels to see where a product is made or grown and that 81 percent actively seek local foods. Students and the general public want to support local food systems and want to know where their food is coming from. But they can't without proper information.
The Duluth Grill is serving 26 percent local food. The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire spends 20 percent of its $4.3 million yearly food budget locally. Local foods are served every day at the University of Minnesota Morris, where the campus food contractor is required to purchase local whenever possible. Clearly, local is possible even on a university budget.
What if UMD administrators internally connected key faculty experts, health services, food service and students with farmers and community organizations and created measurable goals that truly could transform our region? Why can't UMD join and support the Superior Compact? And what will it take for UMD dining services to truly get connected to the community both outside and inside its doors?
Judy Breuer is majoring in community health education at the University of Minnesota Duluth. UMD graduate Andrew Bettilyon and Caitlin Nielson and Saba Andualem, who both are majoring in anthropology at UMD, contributed.

Im doing this b/c of my health problems and also b/c of the 2 threads that have been deleted over the past 36 hours. I hope this site continues to be very successful and the Cats can pull this season out and I will only be able to imagine what a great team the BBN will be seeing next year and I hope you all enjoy the very special season that I believe it will be in 2013. It has been a pleasure bantering around opinions on different subjects and I can only apologize once more for the repetition of subjects I put you through b/c it wasnt my intention to do so. So I say goodbye and may God bless you all. Sleepy

Im making an exception since this is my last thread and to let you know that the original post was the only 1 concerning the subject of the 5 UK players that were selected to the McDonalds All American team. I put that thread on 1st b/c I checked the site completely before I submitted it and there had not been any posts or threads concerning that subject in the past 6 months. Right after I submitted the thread about 20 minutes later it was deleted and an almost identical thread was put on this site by staff. I went on that thread and asked politely why my thread had been deleted but no answer was forth coming. Then I submitted my 2nd thread to ask if anyone else had experienced the same thing that I had just gone through and it was deleted also a short time later. My 2nd thread was respectful and wasnt hostile whatsoever yet they deemed it necessary to delete it also for reasons I dont know of. Im stopping my posting on this site mainly b/c of a health problem that isnt going to get better and Im getting weaker although I was disappointed that they had deleted both of the threads I submitted w/o explanation.

Just now seeing this Sleepy. Gonna miss you man. Your love for the CATS was always so evident. And I realize you've been going through some serious health issues. I'm not sure everybody else realizes that. I'm sure thats a tough thing to deal with. Some of the people that give you a hard time wouldn't want to walk an hour in your shoes I'm sure. Regardless I wish you peace in you heart. Good luck Bud. And if you can find a way to bless my family from the other side one day please do so. LOL.

Pope Francis is a first in many ways: the first Pope from Latin America, the first Jesuit and the first to take the name Francis. While it doesn't necessarily mean he'll also herald in other major changes in the church, what kind of Pope will he be? What do the stars reveal about Jorge Mario Bergoglio?
Born under a Sagittarius Sun and an Aquarius Moon, Pope Francis may seem shy and serious to the world now, but it won't take long for him to grow into his new role and show off his ability to lead. As a Sagittarius, he has a natural inclination towards academia, spiritualty, adventure and public speaking. This will make him want to reach out, speak openly and travel to foreign lands. Chances are he will bring that personal touch back to the church too, as his Moon and Venus are in Aquarius, and gives him a charisma that will endear his public, as he thrives with humanity. However, Aquarius is a fixed sign, and despite the fact he does come from a different country, he will remain steadfast in the traditions of what it means to be Catholic.

Art History
What is Art History?
Study of the history of art stimulates an intensive awareness of creative achievements in the fields of art and architecture. As students explore and analyze artistic style, social context, and meaning in both Western and non-Western cultures, they gain insight into the richness of both personal and cultural expression.
Why Art History at UT?
The University of Toledo offers students a unique opportunity to explore the history
of art and architecture at UT's award-winning Center for the Visual Arts housed at
the world-renowned Toledo Museum of Art. The Museum's holdings include a world-famous
glass collection, a medieval cloister, art of the ancient Mediterranean world, arts
from Africa and Asia, European paintings, sculptures, decorative arts, prints, drawings,
and photographs from the Renaissance to the contemporary, and American art from the
Colonial era to the present.
The close relationship between these two institutions enables students to make full use of outstanding research facilities, art library, exhibitions and art collections. Advanced students are encouraged to participate in special undergraduate research projects. The concentration in Art Museum Practices offers further opportunities to study art history while gaining practical experience in the museum setting (see program description below).
Employment Opportunities
Many art history graduates find directly related positions as professors; museum curators,
administrators, educators or registrars; librarians; architectural preservationists;
fine arts photographers; or art dealers. Others find the flexibility, understanding,
and critical skills they have acquired in their undergraduate studies rewarded in
non-related fields such as architecture, law, journalism, business, and communications.
Student Learning Outcomes for Art History
1. Identification abilities: Students demonstrate the ability to accurately identify works of art and/or architecture in terms of artist/architecture/culture, title, and date.
2. Analytic abilities: Students demonstrate the ability to analyze the form and content of works of art and/or architecture in relation to social, historical, and cultural contexts.
3. Research skills: Students demonstrate the ability to assemble and assess research sources, including effective uses of multiple global resources, to gather information about areas of interest specific to a topic and/or arena of study.
4. Written communication skills: Student written work demonstrates the ability to convey, interpret, and summarize ideas effectively in terms of content, syntax, and organization of information.
5. Oral communication skills: Student oral presentations demonstrate the ability to convey, interpret, and summarize ideas effectively in terms of content, clarity, and organization of information.
New Program!
BACHELOR of ARTS in ART HISTORY with an optional
CONCENTRATION in
This program, with a new concentration, provides a foundation in the history of art and architecture through introductory course work in the styles, subjects and social history of Western and non-Western art and architecture, and through advanced course work and optional directed study in art, architecture, theory and criticism. The program makes extensive use of the collections and research facilities of the Toledo Museum of Art. Internships for credit may be arranged with the Toledo Museum of Art and with other local arts organizations. The optional concentration in Art Museum Practices (AMP) emphasizes professional standards, practices and procedures used in contemporary museums of art. In this unique program, students can work with UT faculty and the Toledo Museum of Art staff professionals and curators to design and install exhibitions of works from the permanent collection at least once a year in the Hitchcock Gallery.

Girls Around MeGirls Around Me, one of the creepiest apps ever available, took information that women posted to the location-based social network Foursquare and matched it with their photos and personal details they posted to Facebook. Girls Around Me then plotted that information on a map with the names and faces of those women near the user's location. Girls Around Me, which has been downloaded more than 70,000 times, was temporarily pulled from Apple's iTunes store last week. The developers pulled the app not because it was invasive and creepy, but because Foursquare, its main source of information, cut off their access, thereby rendering Girls Around Me useless. The developers are hard at work to get their app back on the shelf. But creepy men needn't worry -- there are other unsavory apps to fill the void. Here are four others that will make your skin crawl: iAmAManThe developers of this gem explain its benefits this way: "I am a Man will help you with your private life planning. You will know about your girlfriend's period and her mood. You can plan your dates, evening [sic] and save some money." "You will know about your girlfriend's period and her mood."
They also go on to list other helpful features, like passwords for each girl and the ability to simply click a girl's name to call her. If your significant other uses this app, you're sure to have some time on your hands while he's saving some money. Here are 3 more simple steps to not dating a jerk >>TigerTextThis texting app is marketed as a helpful tool for adulterers. TigerText users can send messages to each other and specify how long each message is viewable, after which time the message is deleted from TigerText's servers and both the sender's and the receiver's phones. Another option this app offers is to have the text message disappear as soon as it has been read, thereby removing evidence of inappropriate messages. How to flirt with text messaging >>False FleshThe makers of False Flesh ask the question "What if you could see what your friends look like naked?" And if your friends don't interest you, they suggest using images of celebrities or a "stunning coed girl in her swimsuit." For just $34.95, you can instantly download this adult image-editing software which will, according to False Flesh, "elegantly eliminate clothing from any photograph and provide you with natural looking nude flesh." Elegantly? Really? Here are 10 more signs that he's not "the one" >>CreepyThis desktop application is software that its developers bill as a geolocation information aggregator. Once users download and install this open-source software, they can easily track any user — not just those who follow them back — through their Twitter, Foursquare and Flickr accounts. Creepy is truly a stalker's dream come true. Yiannis Kakavas, the programmer who developed the software, explained his intentions to MSNBC's Bob Sullivan: "I was trying to make a point. … I'm trying to raise awareness among users of social networking platforms that they actually do share a lot of information and this can potentially be used by people with malicious intentions." I think it's fair to say that he's made his point. More on apps and softwarePrograms that limit your time on social media

Children & BooksThe first edition of Children and Books appeared in 1947, when its author, May Hill Arbuthnot, was already well known as the co-author of the "Dick and Jane" series. An eminent educator, Arbuthnot was concerned not only with literacy but also with giving children the best in world literature. Throughout its fifty-year history and with Zena Sutherland as lead author in the last six editions, this best-selling volume has maintained the features that first made it popular: an emphasis on major authors and artists, criteria for each genre, a focus on new books and new ideas, and, above all, an emphasis on children's needs and interests - and on ways in which books of high quality can serve those needs and interests. |

Gillian Welch: Stark, Mysterious Beauty
Originally published on Tue January 31, 2012 1:21 pm
Sometimes one microphone and two guitars is all you need — especially when the two musicians using them are Gillian Welch and David Rawlings. That's how the duo recently shared songs from Welch's newest album, The Harrow & The Harvest, during a return trip to WFUV in New York.
The Harrow & The Harvest is a stark beauty, recorded alone in Welch and Rawlings' home studio. It's simply arranged but powerful, and one of my favorite albums of 2011. Welch describes the 10-song album as "10 kinds of sad," but it's much more than that. "It's a very unguarded album, very intimate," she says here. "I think this is the closest to what it sounds like in the living room."
Lyrically, the songs paint pictures of a bygone era ("Did she leave him for that swell?"), and the vocabulary naturally and authentically reflects that of a small-town world, even though Welch was born in New York City in the '60s. Like she's done before, Welch hints at her own life's mysteries: her biological parents. There are also hints of California (her adoptive parents worked on The Carol Burnett Show when she was growing up) and Nashville, where Welch and Rawlings currently live. All put together, it's a beautiful set of story-songs that could happen anywhere, at any time.
Welch and Rawlings share an old-fashioned aesthetic that extends beyond their music, but they're not throwbacks. They travel with a turntable, on the constant hunt for records across the country. In fact, their guest DJ pick at the end of our session was from a recent roadside find.
They believe in the intimate magic of live radio, and perform as if families were gathering around to listen. You'll have to use your imagination to picture Welch clapping and dancing on a wooden board during "Six White Horses," and making the most of a gorgeous pair of custom-made cowboy boots. Invoke the theater of your mind to see the duo with closed eyes, so quiet during "Dark Turn of Mind" that the air lies still between each line.

Fine French Restaurant In Toronto Shutting Down
Another luxury restaurant has become a victim of the economic downturn, the Four Seasons Toronto will be shutting down its 37-year-old restaurant, Truffles, as of September 5. Fine French fare seems particularly vulnerable in this economy. Truffles, which was consistently rated as one of the city's top restaurants, served creative but formal fare rich in its namesake ingredient. The restaurant's signature dish was spaghettini with served with a a sauce of reduced chicken stock, cream and truffle oil with a foamed truffle sauce covered in black truffle shavings. The Four Seasons is building a new hotel in a different location and that hotel will feature a more casual restaurant.

Billy Collins
Billy Collins | |
Collins at the Calabash Literary Festival in St. Elizabeth's, Jamaica, May 2010.
Born | William James Collins March 22, 1941 New York City, New York, United States |
Occupation | Professor, Poet, Author, Anthologist |
Billy Collins (born William James Collins; March 22, 1941) is an American poet, appointed as Poet Laureate of the United States from 2001 to 2003.[1] He is a Distinguished Professor at Lehman College of the City University of New York and is the Senior Distinguished Fellow of the Winter Park Institute, Florida. Collins was recognized as a Literary Lion of the New York Public Library (1992) and selected as the New York State Poet for 2004 through 2006. He is currently a teacher in the MFA program at Stony Brook Southampton.
Early years[edit]
Collins was born in Manhattan to William and Katherine Collins and grew up in Queens and White Plains.[citation needed] Katherine Collins was a nurse who stopped working to raise the couple's only child. Mrs. Collins had the ability to recite verses on almost any subject, which she often did, and cultivated in her young son the love of words, both written and spoken. Billy Collins attended Archbishop Stepinac High School in White Plains and received a B.A. (English) from the College of the Holy Cross in 1963; he received his M.A. and Ph.D in English from the University of California, Riverside. His professors at Riverside included Victorian scholar and poet Robert Peters.[2][3] In 1975 Collins founded The Mid-Atlantic Review with his good friend and co-editor, Michael Shannon.[4]
Collins is a Distinguished Professor of English at Lehman College in the Bronx, where he joined the faculty in 1968 and has taught for over thirty years. Additionally, he is a founding Advisory Board member of the CUNY Institute for Irish-American Studies at Lehman College. He also has taught and served as a visiting writer at Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, New York as well as teaching workshops across the U.S. and in Ireland. Collins is a member of the faculty of SUNY Stonybrook Southampton College, where he teaches poetry workshops. Collins was named U.S. Poet Laureate in 2001 and held the title until 2003. Collins served as Poet Laureate for the State of New York from 2004 until 2006. Collins has been named Senior Distinguished Fellow at the Winter Park Institute in Winter Park, Florida, an affiliate of Rollins College. He is on the editorial board at The Alaska Quarterly Review, not actively involved since 2000.[5][6] He is on the advisory board at the Southern Review, and is similarly named in other journals. In 2012, Collins became Poetry Consultant for Smithsonian Magazine.
As U.S. Poet Laureate, Collins read his poem The Names at a special joint session of the United States Congress on September 6, 2002, held to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks.[7] Though, unlike their British counterparts, U.S. poets laureate are not asked or expected to write occasional poetry, Collins was asked by the Librarian of Congress to write a poem especially for that event. Collins initially refused to read "The Names" in public, though he has read it two times in public since 2002. He vows not to include it in any of his books, refusing to capitalize in any way on the 9/11 attacks. However, "The Names" was included in the The Poets Laureate Anthology, put out by the Library of Congress, for which Collins wrote the foreword. The only book-published version of "The Names", it contains a number of regrettable typographical errors. The poem also appeared in the New York Times, September 6, 2002. As Poet Laureate, Collins instituted the program Poetry 180 for high schools. Collins chose 180 poems for the program and the accompanying book, Poetry 180: A Turning Back to Poetry—one for each day of the school year. Collins edited a second anthology, 180 More Extraordinary Poems for Every Day to refresh the supply of available poems. The program is online, and poems are available there for no charge.[8]
In 1997, Collins recorded The Best Cigarette, a collection of 34 of his poems, that would become a bestseller. In 2005, the CD was re-released under a Creative Commons license, allowing free, non-commercial distribution of the recording. He also recorded two of his poems for the audio versions of Garrison Keillor's collection Good Poems (2002). Collins has appeared on Keillor's radio show, A Prairie Home Companion, numerous times, where he gained a portion of his large following. In 2005, Collins recorded Billy Collins Live: A Performance[9] in New York City. Collins was introduced by his friend, actor Bill Murray.
Billy Collins has been called "The most popular poet in America" by the New York Times.[10] When he moved from the University of Pittsburgh Press to Random House, the advance he received shocked the poetry world—a six-figure sum for a three-book deal, virtually unheard of in poetry.[11] The deal secured for Collins through his literary agent, Chris Calhoun, then of Sterling Lord Literistic, with the editor Daniel Menaker, remained the talk of the poetry world, and indeed the literary world, for quite some time.[12]
Over the years, the U.S. magazine Poetry has awarded Collins several prizes in recognition of poems they publish. During the 1990s, Collins won five such prizes. The magazine also selected him as "Poet of the Year" in 1994. In 2005 Collins was the first annual recipient of its Mark Twain Prize for Humor in Poetry. He has received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York Foundation for the Arts and in 1993, from the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation.
One of his most critically acclaimed works, "Fishing on the Susquehanna in July"[13] has been added to the preserved works of the United States Native American literary registry as being deemed a culturally significant poem. The poem has been included on national Advance Placement exams for high school students.
In 2012, he appeared as himself in an episode of the PBS animated series Martha Speaks.
Collins guest hosted The Writer's Almanac during Summer 2013.[14]

Looks like a case where they based the auction on one of their other auctions and thought they changed everything but missed the title. In the details section is this:
Product Information The Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D is a digital SLR Camera with a CMOS image sensor that allows you to capture memorable moments of your favorite times. With a wide viewing angle of 170 degree, you can take shots of vast landscapes even from a shorter distance. This Canon 18.0 MP camera incorporates a 3-inch LCD display that allows you to preview or playback pictures and videos. Furthermore, you can also record HD videos on-the-go with the Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D digital camera. Moreover, this black Canon 18.0 MP camera has a self-timer function that enables you to take your own pictures without hassle. Also, with built-in flash you can click photographs even in low-light conditions with this black digital SLR Camera. Additionally, this camera comes with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lenses, which aid you in taking shots perfectly. What's more, with USB and HDMI port, you can connect this Canon 18.0 MP camera to your HDTV. Product Identifiers Brand Canon Model Rebel T4i / 650D MPN 6558B003 UPC 013803150605 Key Features Camera Type Digital SLR Sensor Resolution 18.0 MP Screen Size 3" Lens System Lens For SD EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Looks like that is from the relisted auction. So they really messed up, AGAIN. As the old auction has this: Product Information This Canon 18.0 MP camera comes with a nine-point all cross-type autofocus (AF) system that includes a Hybrid CMOS AF sensor, which greatly increases autofocusing speed. The sensor in this black Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D enhances autofocus interruption time by utilizing contrast and phase detection combined.

Similarly, the Canon EOS Rebel T4i/650D also has Handheld Night and HDR Backlight, both of which take numerous images to construct the best image in certain situations. For quick and easy access to images, the Canon 18.0 MP camera is designed with a 3-inch Clear View II Vari-Angle touchscreen LCD monitor so users can easily reach settings or pinch zoom and slide through images. With a resolution of 5184x3456 pixels and an EF-S 18 mm-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 image stabilized zoom lens, this digital SLR camera ensures consumers can capture crisp, clear, high-quality photos.

When you think about sun safety, remember our mantra: slip (on a shirt), slop (on some sunscreen) and slap (on a hat). Our "23 Ways to Stay Safe in the Sun" will do some of the work for you. Here's just a taste.
When choosing eyewear (sunglasses or glasses) you want to mimic the shape of your face with the glasses. For example, if you have an oval face shape, you want to choose oval frames, or if you have a teardrop or spade face shape, you want to choose aviator-style glasses. Make sense?

China, U.S. to form working group on cyberspying issue
The U.S. and China have agreed to form a working group on cybersecurity, after a recent volley of cyberspying accusations from both sides.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry announced from Beijing that the two countries will ramp up action on cybersecurity, Reuters reported.
Cybersecurity "affects the financial sector, banks, financial transactions -- every aspect of nations in modern times are affected by the use of cybernetworking, and obviously all of us, every nation, has an interest in protecting its people, protecting its rights, protecting its infrastructure," the news agency quoted Kerry as saying after a … Read more

Two new twists to Pack Expo Las Vegas
The final session of the March 13 Press Event was a panel discussion on sustainability. PMMI's Egan, in his introductory remarks as moderator, recommended that packaging professionals have a look at "Enhancing the Sustainability of Products and Packaging," a new online brochure from Ameripen that suggests we think more broadly about the role that packaging plays in the total system it supports when it comes to reducing waste.
Joining Egan on the panel were John Schnarr, director of strategic marketing at Nordson, and Bob Williams, vp sales and marketing at Triangle Package Machinery Co. Nordson is a leading maker of equipment used to apply adhesives. Schnarr described how a switch from one continuous strip of adhesive to an intermittent pattern of adhesive is providing a better bond on corrugated cases at a major food company even though less adhesive is used. He also showed how Nordson solutions in multilayer coextrusions are bringing lightweight benefits and performance improvements in barrier packaging materials.
Triangle's Williams highlighted the impressive progress in source reduction being made by MOM Brands (formerly Malt-o-Meal), where a move from a bag-in-box to a flat-bottom bag format has reduced packaging material usage by as much as 75% in some cases. Williams recommended a look at MOM's Bag the Box site. Williams also described a study showing that when IQF meat transitions from a conventional doy-style package to a four-corner-seal standup pouch, 3.5 million pounds of greenhouse gas emissions can be eliminated on an annualized volume of 25 million pounds.

This place is basically a run down apartment used as a hostel. It is in a good area, but that's all it has going for it. There is only one bathroom and it is run down and gets dirty quick. The rooms could use a paint job. There is a very small common area and that's about it- it does not even feel like a traditional hostel. I felt like a lot of the reviews online for this place misrepresented the hostel. I've stayed at a few hostels around Mexico and this place was the worst.

The BEST hostel I had the pleasure to b in Mexico City. Alberto the GM is always ensuring all is OK, Jazmin the day secretary is very sweet, the night gentleman is also very nice plus the hostel is excellently located, their beds r confy areas constantly cleaned, and since is a small place the atmosfere is family style. Next time I am in DF I have to lodge here.

Nice hostel - pretty basic. Enjoyed the rooftop and the staff was always very friend. Plus, the location cannot be beat - its right in the heart of Zona Rosa, steps away from great food and a subway station. I definitely recommend this hostel.

The best value option in town! The hostal is in a very good area, just few steps away from M Sevilla, taxis de Sitio and colectivo buses making it very easy to get around this fantastic city! It's in a very good colonia called Juarez, better known as la zona rosa and you can walk to other great neighborhoods. The hostel is basic but super clean and the staff is very friendly, I felt like I was in my own apartment in DF. Will miss Mexico City ! Besos

I've stayed in a number of hostels in the past and I must say, this has been my favourite. The staff(Joel and Jasmine)made me feel right at home from the first minute I arrived there and have become good friends with them now. The location is perfect, it's safe, walking distance to a number of huge attractions and good, cheap restaurants just around the corner. Peace, Francois

4 nights for 3 (online deal) was good value. Beds were comfy. Staff were friendly. Only 2 bathrooms for all the rooms so had to queue up often (sometimes no toilet roll). Rooms surround common area with a TV - supposed to go of at 1am! but a couple of times on past 2am. Noise travels from common area so hard to sleep if lots of people up. Don't clean rooms but did open our curtains each day and one day left the window open too. Good basic breakfast and good communal kitchen.

Low Price Guarantee
Comment: Good looking, sturdy, easily packed. Wish it were leather, but the added weight of real leather would make it extremely heavy when packed. LOTS of room inside! Will probably cut a piece of plexiglas for bottom so it won't sag over bike rack.
Mary Lu Duffy
Fairhope, AL
Comment: Bag met all my expectations. Definitetly recommend. Shipped in a very timely manner.
Comment: Good looking tailbag, plenty of room but it could have had another bottom, it´s too soft. Arrived in 10 days and that´s normal for "overseashipping" at least to Sweden
Hans J
Veddige, Sweden
Comment: Fast service. Works perfectly to lean back on. Plenty of room.Great price.
Comment: This attached easily to my Softail custom. The velcro strap fit easily around my seat back and the rings on the bottom easily allowed for 2 bungee cords to secure the bag to the tail rack. Velcro on the sides of the lid were good. They'll help keep the lid down just in case you forget to use the clips to secure the lid. Inside there is a net along the back of the bag to pack little items. The bottom is firm and holds the bag's shape. It did bend somewhat over either side of my bike's luggage rack but it did not bend so far that it touched the paint.

doctorfrog says: Old game that'll run on anything. And it's free. Use your brain to unravel the narrative!
doctorfrog says: Arma 2 is a box of toy soldiers you can up-end on a giant map and do anything you want with. If it weren't so clunky and graphically demanding, it'd have a higher rating from me.
doctorfrog says: A sobering game about the results of overwhelming nuclear war. I only played it once.
doctorfrog says: A thinking man's shooter from 1999. In terms of free choice and heady subject matter, few games have surpassed it.
doctorfrog says: This is a classic, sprawling RPG. It's time has long passed, but it remains hugely involving and demanding.
doctorfrog says: This is extraordinarily difficult game to manage and understand as you foment a revolution in a foreign country. You direct bands of hired guns, and manage every bullet, every weapon, every moment of rest and action. Very detailed, very hard.
doctorfrog says: An involving adventure game that proceeds along its own pace, in an historical era very few games bother with. Stay sharp or miss opportunities as the narrative plays out. It's like a book, and you're one of the characters.
doctorfrog says: Another extremely complex and involving game. Manage an interstellar empire, expansion, research, conquest. One of the most notorious and best strategy games of all time. Very, very hard.
doctorfrog says: Pinball was the best arcade experience available in the 70's and early 80's. It's ostensibly just a game of keeping the ball from falling in the hole, but BRUSA shows that pinball games are far deeper than that.
doctorfrog says: A very dark, disturbing adventure game, but not too difficult to go through. It might give you a nightmare or two, so be warned.
doctorfrog says: There is a SimCity 5 under production at this point, but the second to the original is still second to none in terms of approachability and addictiveness. Design your own city, rule it as you please. Pretty friendly and not too tough.
doctorfrog says: This is a moderately difficult game that has you building castles in a medieval European setting. Defend your castle against enemy onslaughts, and see what it means to support an infrastructure. Medium hard.
doctorfrog says: It's free, but it's astoundingly difficult to play, and requires tons of patience and reading. I've heard it's pretty good, but I wouldn't know, it's too hard for me to get into!
doctorfrog says: A beautiful game of alien species management on an interstellar space station. One of the most lovely and enjoyable strategy games of all time. Not too difficult, looks great, and will run on lots of different PCs.
doctorfrog says: Star Control 2 is free as a bird under the name "Ur-Quan Masters." Lots of space exploration, old-school arcade-style combat, and figuring out the right things to say to the right people. Pretty easy to start play, but very tough to beat.
doctorfrog says: A very complex and tough strategy game, you control the future of mankind as one of many contentious factions on a foreign planet. One of the best Civilization-style games, and similar to
doctorfrog says: Control vast armies of robots warring over alien planets, and basically throw them at each other. An RTS classic from 1997.
Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

How the nucleus accumbens integrates information from multiple upstream regions has been a central question for decades. In this issue of Neuron, Britt et al. (2012) photostimulate glutamatergic axons from the amygdala, prefrontal cortex, and hippocampus in the nucleus accumbens, characterizing the functional role of each pathway both in vivo and ex vivo.
