It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
December 23, 2013 by Core'dinator
Filed under Core Blog, May Arts Ribbon, Stampendous
Well, yes it has been for a few weeks now but only FIVE days left until Christmas..can you believe it?
Today we have Designer Kim Moreno working some of her Core magic….ENJOY!
I just love the Tillie Dot paper and knew that it would make a cute and quick Christmas card so I went punch happy and put together this card in a snap! I punched 8 stars from the green cardstock and one from the yellow and sanded them each carefully with my Coredinations sanding block and arranged them on the Snowflake cardstock, that I tore along the bottom, in a tree shape. I then added jewels and a sticker to complete my card.
Something I look forward to at Christmas is my kids' visiting and getting their photo taken with Santa. I love the growing collection I have, seeing how fast they are growing up and realizing that next year there will be an extra one in the photo! Eeek!
Recently I scrapped last year's photo, and wanted to keep to a soft, pastel color scheme.
I used only cardstock from the Core'dinations Whitewash collection – I've been just a bit obsessed with it lately! But I love the soft colors it gives and how effective just a little bit of sanding is.
You can see in the close up photo below how the edge shows the core color so easily.
For the panel down the bottom of the layout, I used a star punch to layer shapes punched out of the same cardstock. But with that little sand around the edges they really POP!
Now to work on this year's photo!

If you like cards you came to the right place, just sayin'! Today we have some gorgeous cards for you from our very talented design team member, . But first… we wanted to say Thank YOU for an awesome week and weekend of Cropping Hard Core style!
We will post winners as SOON as we can. We hope you had as much fun as we did. Seeing Core'dinations in action is always amazing and I learn so much and see so many new things. So stay close!
Now here are Tracy Grubers two CUTE cards. She always stamps beautifully, don't you think?
There is no question that I love to stamp and color with Copics. The awesome part? I can stamp on my Core Tags and then color them. They are made with a really heavy card stock, which allows you to color and shade your images without the ink bleeding. I used a Lawn Fawn stamp set to make this cute baby card. The background is made with Spotted Jillian Dot and Vintage Core'dinations papers.
The Chocolate Box Collection has some really cool card stock! I love how one side is brown and the other side has a variety of colors that can be revealed when sanded. I used one of this card that was a tan backing to keep with the "animal/jungle" theme. I paper pieced the leaves with green card stock from the Darks paper pad.
What makes a well designed and well balanced layout?

Personally, I would ask Debbie Standard. She always creations beautiful layouts that not only showcase Core but they are full of amazing details, beautiful photos and over all well designed elements. What do you say we check out a few?
And don't forget we are still cropping away! TONS of time to get things done . Check out details Here:

Today Heather Kaesgan created the most AWESOME tablescape for us that is Halloween themed.

Samsung is in need of crisis management, analysts say, as ineffective product differentiation sparks margin erosion and a decline in market share.» Read More
The Dow fell by triple digits on Tuesday as worries about further losses stemming from the mortgage crisis moved back into the spotlight.
Yes, but not for the long term, Cramer says. Here's how you trade this market.
Stocks closed lower—even though oil fell to $113 a barrel—as a fresh round of warnings about banking troubles squelched the market's week-long rally.
Now that inflation is no longer haunting the markets, the future earnings of high-growth stocks have become much more attractive.
When Google's Gmail service went dark last night for about 90 minutes, cutting off millions of users from their email, it shone a bright light on the promise--and problems--of so-called Cloud Computing.
With commodity prices coming down, many parts of the market can start their return ascent.
Stocks finished with modest gains as oil dropped modestly, continuing their almost-perfect inverse relationship on a day that also saw the further resurgence of the dollar and solid gains in technology.
The moment I first saw Amazon's Kindle electronic book reader, I thought, "Oh wow, here's a product searching for a market, rather than an innovation addressing an unmet market need." Flash forward to today as Citigroup doubles its Kindle sales projections, from 190,000 to a whopping 380,000 units this year.
Citigroup said on Monday that Amazon.com's Kindle electronic book reader appears to be selling much better than expected and could double a previous estimate for units sold this year, sending shares in the online retailer up 9 percent.
Stock index futures pointed to a lower start for the week on Wall Street as oil prices climbed on fears of the affects on energy markets of the war between Russia and Georgia over the South Ossetia region.
When Apple was preparing to launch its "app store" for iPhone, the online software marketplace of free and for-sale third party developer applications, I suggested then that this was potentially the great hidden gem in the iPhone story. That App Store might some day rival iTunes as a revenue stream.
After introducing guest trader Zach Karabell, aka "The Academic," the gang immediately dives into the main lesson learned after stocks soar to end the week (the highest close since June). The dollar also "exploded," with its biggest jump in 8 years against the euro. "Currencies typically do not move like that," says Dylan of the USD's 3.3% gain this week. The S&P 500 also had its best week since April, due in part to the commodities pullback -- it ended the day up 2.4%.
Stocks rallied Friday as a more than $4 a barrel drop in oil prices offset the drag of Fannie Mae's earnings miss. It's going to be the same story next week: Energy prices. Even if there are disappointments in CPI or Wal-Mart's earnings, investors are expected to overlook them as the drop in gas prices puts more money in consumers' pockets.
Eight iPhone owners have joined an elite clan according to a report by the Los Angeles Times: Their Apple gadget is running a program that cost nearly $1,000.
Put this one into the, "You Gotta Be Kiddin' Me," file. But it's gotten so serious that Apple Inc. was forced to take action.
A week from today, LucasFilm and Warner Bros. will unleash "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," the latest installment of the Star Wars money-making machine. And with it comes the spotlight on cool technologies.
Kevin Cronin, Putnam's head of investments, thinks technology is the way to play the current feeble market environment.
Stocks advanced Tuesday, building on the prior session's rally, as a drop in oil prices and encouraging outlook from Cisco helped offset disappointment in Freddie Mac's results.
The S&P 500 has moved further into positive territory led by tech giants. Here's what they are contributing.
As we enter day two of the qualifying rounds, all major indices were down but Australia's ASX has taken the lead, followed by India's Bombay Sensex. In our poll's early voting, many of you suggested that Israel's T25 might be in contention for a medal despite a rough couple of days. Here are some stats and stocks from Israel.


text: How to Write a Great Resume! Greg Iaccarino Kari Nysather L&S / Human Ecology & Graduate Business School Career Services Advisor Career Services Advisor What do I need a resume for? ¡ To get your target employer's attention…in 30 seconds or less! ¡ To communicate your credentials ¡ To demonstrate your achievements ¡ To create a first impression of your professional image Getting Started : Know thyself and thy job ¡ The biggest initial obstacle to writing a resume is describing your experience in terms of skills and abilities and not just as the duties you performed or your job responsibilities. ¡ Sometimes it's necessary to convey job functions, but employers are really looking for you to identify what you learned from those duties and how they're going to transfer to the new job (since no two positions have identical, static responsibilities). Getting Started : Know thyself and thy job ¡ Once you've identified your skills, then you can begin looking for the job(s) that would be the perfect fit for you. If you're having trouble narrowing your job search, rank the skills or talents you've learned in your education, work, internship, volunteer or extracurricular involvement in the order in which you'd most like to use them in your future career. Resume Styles ¡ Which style will best represent your skills and experiences to a potential employer? l Reverse Chronological l Functional l Combination Reverse Chronological format… if you're staying on the same career path ¡ The REVERSE CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME is the traditional structure for most resumes. ¡ This format focuses on the Experience section and highlights in detail the last several jobs you've had as if they were rungs on the career ladder you're now climbing. ¡ This type of resume is best used if you're sticking in the same profession or type of work, or if you're applying within a conservative field (such as law or academia). ¡ A career objective on this type of resume acts as the next rung you'd like on your career ladder. Functional Resume… if you want to veer down another path ¡ The FUNCTIONAL RESUME highlights your major skills and accomplishments from the very beginning. ¡ The functional resume is a must for career changers, those with divergent careers, those with a wide range of skills in their given profession, and who want to make slight shifts in their career direction. ¡ Readers can see clearly what you can do for them, rather than having to read through job descriptions. ¡ It helps target your resume into a new direction or field, by lifting up from all past jobs the key skills and qualifications that help prove you will be successful in this new direction or field. Combination Resume… for something in between ¡ A COMBINATION RESUME is another wonderful option. ¡ This type includes elements of both the chronological and functional formats. ¡ It may be a shorter chronology of job descriptions preceded by a short "Skills and Accomplishments" section (or with a longer Summary including a skills list or a list of "qualifications"); or, it may be a standard functional resume with the accomplishments under headings of different jobs held. ¡ It maximizes the advantages of both kinds of resumes, avoiding potential "turn-off" of either type. Essential Components ¡ Contact Information ¡ Educational background ¡ Relevant professional or school-related activities, clubs or organizations ¡ Experience Must Have's: Contact Information ¡ Your Name ¡ Your Address: Most college students give "current" and "permanent" ¡ Phone Numbers: Make sure that any phone number you include has a professional message at the other end ¡ Email address: Again, make sure it's professional…(ie. no email@example.com) Contact Information (example) Maria Velasquez email@example.com Permanent Address: 367 Alameda Drive, Chico, CA 95926 Present Address: 1623 Monroe Street, Madison, WI 53711 Phone: (608) 257-1914 (home) (608) 279-0484 (cell) What's next Experience or Education? ¡ If you are a current college student or about to graduate, you generally list education first ¡ If you've been out of school for a few years working, then you generally list experience first Must Have's: Educational Experience Education: ¡ Always list the name of your University first ¡ Next, spell out your degree ¡ List your major(s) and certificates after your degree and your graduation date (or expected graduation) ¡ You can also list relevant coursework ¡ Academic awards, honors, and recognition should also be listed under this section ¡ You may want to list your GPA…it depends Educational Experience (example) Example: University of Wisconsin-Madison Bachelor of Arts, May 2002 Double Major: International Relations and Spanish Awards and Honors: Chancellor's Scholarship Dean's List (8 semesters) Hilldale Research Grant Recipient Relevant Coursework: Latin American Politics International Economics Business Spanish International Business Must Have's: Experience ¡ You can use subsections for specific skills or experiences l (Volunteer/Community Service, Study/Work Abroad, Language Proficiencies, Professional Memberships, Public Relations Experience, Editing/Journalistic Experience, Fundraising Experience, Laboratory Experience, Experience With Children, etc.) ¡ Include company name, city and state ¡ Dates of employment (month or season, and year) ¡ Job Title ¡ And excellent descriptive statements to convey the skills you used, the accomplishments you made, and the initiatives you took… Experience (example) Intern, Human Rights Watch Washington D.C. Summer 2001 l Performed research for international human rights campaigns l Initiated contact with international political organizations such as the European Union l Translated documents from English to Spanish and vice versa What's an excellent resume vs. a mediocre resume? ¡ Use ACTION verbs ¡ Show your achievements ¡ Demonstrate scope ¡ Readability and organization ¡ Clear and Concise Language ¡ Error Free (check grammar, spelling, content) ¡ Relevance, Relevance, Relevance !!! Weak vs. Strong Descriptive Statements ¡ The example statement below was on a student's resume that I counseled on resume improvement. After further discussion, I found out he was not concisely showing his abilities and skills as an Assistant Sales Manager. The statement on the next page reflects the change. ¡ "Responsible for stocking inventory, working with employees, helping customers, keeping books, and closing store." Strong Descriptive Statements ¡ Supervised and trained 30 employees in selling shoes, customer service and stocking shelves in a store with sales of $200,000 annually ¡ Consistently exceeded Corporate Sales Goals ¡ Top sales manger out of three managers ¡ Created and implemented employee incentive program, and increased sales by 20% per year Optional Resume Components ¡ Objective statement – (mixed reviews on this) ¡ Skills Summary or Professional Profile ¡ Honors or Awards ¡ Availability ¡ References upon request ¡ Computer Skills ¡ Group Projects ¡ Rule of Thumb… ¡ Make sure it's relevant to your target job !! More on Career Objectives… do I need one or not? ¡ The rule of thumb on Career Objectives… l If you are changing career directions, or have a diverse background you may want to use a career objective. l If your resume show consistency in a particular career path, you may not need one. If you use a Career Objective… make sure it clarifies the following ¡ the Position that you're applying for ¡ the Industry you're interested in ¡ or the Skills you would like to utilize More specifically, a Career Objective can define… ¡ Functional area of interest and/or specific job title ¡ (sales, data processing, research, copy writing…) ¡ Type of organization or industry ¡ (governmental, manufacturer, retailer ¡ social service agency, financial institution…) ¡ Level of position — optional, unless listed ¡ (mid-level, entry-level...) ¡ Size and scope of organization if relevant ¡ (small, large, local, regional, international…) Examples to help you prepare your own career objective: for ADVERTISING: ¡ Interested in a career in media or market research field with a large agency. Particular focus on corporate communications. for COMPUTER PROGRAMMER: ¡ Seeking assignment as a programmer or systems analyst with an interest in marketing and finance applications. for PERSONNEL: ¡ In pursuit of a personnel assistant post in public service organization with partiality towards human resources management. Other Optional Components ¡ If you have little professional work experience, think about the skills that you used in the following areas: l Research Papers/Project l Summer Jobs l Certification Courses l Internships l Campus jobs (Work study) l Campus Activity Positions l Entrepreneurial/self-employed jobs l Temporary Work l Volunteer Work: service learning, tutoring, mentoring, clubs, non-profit organizations l Extracurricular Positions What NOT to Include? ¡ Personal information l Marital or family status, age or date of birth, etc. ¡ Pictures ¡ High school honors l Undergrad awards are okay if relevant ¡ Personal interests l Unless you know how it connects ¡ Personal characteristics l Example: reliable, fast learner, team player Final Test! ¡ Try a variety of styles and organizational techniques – what works best for you? ¡ Have professionals in career services and your field read your resume to be sure of clarity and image projected ¡ Keep more than one resume on file to accentuate different skill sets

If you or a friend has ever been pulled over for a traffic violation or suspected of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, you may have been asked to submit to a breathalyzer test. The breathalyzer test consists of breathing into a small plastic tube that is attached to a device that can measure the levels of alcohol in the lungs and bloodstream. This is called the "blood alcohol limit" (BAC) and it is how the authorities can tell if you have had too much to drink and may be breaking the law by driving yourself home from that party. The breathalyzer has been an invaluable tool for law enforcement for many years. However, if it is determined that your BAC is above legal limits, how important is this evidence when dealing with the actual DUI court case?
Breathalyzer tests are generally the fastest and most effective way to determine if a driver has had too much to drink, so that the law enforcement officers can act quickly to arrest and get that person off the street. This prevents countless numbers of DUI-related accidents and deaths every year. If a suspect refuses to submit to the breathalyzer test, they can be arrested and detained for a blood test based on suspicion of DUI, so in most cases they will agree to be tested on the spot. Then this evidence is used when it comes time for them to report to the judge in court to answer for their actions. It's very hard to argue against scientific evidence that the breathalyzer tests provide, similar to DNA evidence, there's no denying it once it is submitted to the court.
The breathalyzer saves countless lives. Sometimes even knowing they could be tested with a breathalyzer will deter drinkers from getting behind the wheel, so there's no way to tell how many lives are saved by programs like this in addition to designated driver campaigns. Breathalyzers are cost effective ways to prevent a very expensive hazard on the roads as well, costing on average only $97 per unit. That's fairly insignificant as it concerns life-saving equipment and other tools that the law enforcement division has to work with. And it's much less costly than a human life by any measure.
The breathalyzer test has come up against some scrutiny when it comes to how well they accurately test for the presence of alcohol in the bloodstream. Research shows that in a very small number of cases, the breathalyzer results can show a higher BAC percentage, leaving doubts as to the validity of the tests or the testing devices themselves. A false positive on a breathalyzer can result in an innocent person being convicted of a DUI when they were actually within legal limits for alcohol consumption. That opens up a can of worms when considering the personal, legal and financial costs this can cause. A false positive can occur if the breathalyzer unit is defective or tampered with, something that law enforcement agencies do their best to avoid. The benefits of the breathalyzer test far outweigh any possible negatives. The evidence provided by the breathalyzer test is considered very important evidence that is very hard to dispute therefore it is likely that the offender will place a guilty plea and they will pay the price for their lack of responsibility.
In conclusion, the breathalyzer test is a valuable and important test, with evidence that's nearly impossible to dispute in a court of law. Most of all, it saves lives.

The Wednesday before the session, I received an urgent conference call from RPG.net headquarters in Langley.
"Bad news," they told me. "Your ratings are plummeting. You didn't exactly debut at the top slot, and readers're bleeding away from you. Heck, the 'MSTing John Wick' thread in the 'Best of the Forums' gets more hits than you do. We need to shake things up a bit."
"What do you mean?" I remembered when Vanna White had guest-hosted "52 Pick-Up", and how the lawyers were still trying to sort out the tangled skeins from that little debacle. "Do you want a celebrity guest?"
"No, no, nothing like that," they said, reassuringly. "But this Laura chick; she has to go." They paraphrased Marcel Proust's housekeeper at me: "After one has known Hilary Doda, all other women seem vulgar."
"Oh," I said, carefully. "So what do you want me to do?"
"A few years ago, we got some leftover NPCs from a 'Big Ears, Small Mouse' fire sale."
"And?" This was starting to sound suspiciously like a celebrity guest star to me.
"We want to replace Laura."
"Replace Laura?"
"Is there an echo here?" They sounded annoyed. "Yes. We have this giant talking mouse, and we think his playing style would mesh well with your group..."
I know an ultimatum when I hear one. But I wasn't going to cater to The Bosses that easily; instead, I begged. I pleaded. And then, when that didn't work, I groveled.
"Look," I told them, "Laura's been begging for a hiatus for weeks now. I've got another former player (re-)joining the group, so let's see how he does before we make any rash judgements."
"Fair enough," they said. "But remember: the Mouse." Then they hung up.
The new player I was referring to was my cousin Nate. Nate's currently serving as a USMC reservist at Great Lakes, and he lives in the Gurnee area, not terribly far from Erich's home. Now I know that there's a stereotype that only pathetic losers game with their family members, and let me assure you all: it is absolutely true. I am a pathetic loser. But Nate is a pretty fun guy to game with.
He got started out on Warhammer 40,000 (playing Space Orks, for those of you familiar with the game), and eventually joined up with my nebulous group of players who met about once a week for GURPS games involving massive amounts of firepower. Ever before he became a marine, Nate was a great believer in heavy weaponry. He also had a distressing propensity for scoring Own Goals on his hapless teammamtes, because if Nate's character had a weapon, it would be used. Period.
For some reason, Erich and Nate work well together, forming a sort of Dave-and-Brianesque bond (to put it in KoDT terms): Erich knows the rules, and Nate kills things. It took a little work on Nate's part to find Erich's apartment (he was supposed to show last week, but couldn't find it), but he was able to make it this week, which was doubly fortuitous, as Laura was out with a migraine.
I spent my train ride home from work mapping out a dungeon in record time (simplified by not populating it and leaving that part for the actual game), so I at least had something prepped this time. I'd also managed to read up on the rules, so that I at least sort of knew what I was doing, and also what and when I was prepared to throw the rules to the wind and completely wing things. (With GURPS and D6 Star Wars, that's something I can do effortlessly, but any other system can be problematic.)
We started out with Laura's character wandering off (to safely remove her from the game in case of danger) and Nate's doughty first-level Cleric encountering Erich's Knight Errant. Awkward roleplaying followed, and I swiftly railroaded them to the dungeon. There was some dickering about where to park Nate's donkey before they plunged into the murky darkness, and then we were off. Huzzay!
The PCs quickly smashed into a room, where they easily defeated two goblins guarding a chest with a sleeping potion inside of it. Erich used it as a chaser for his hip flask, and while he was out could, Nate claimed the remainder. Erich demanded dibs on the next treasure chest.
The next room contained two chests, one with a dinky little +1 dagger (first magic weapon!) and the other with a -1 Cursed short sword (second magic weapon! Paging Mr. Haul...). Erich forced open the first chest, used the dagger to open the second, and claimed the shortsword (named "Egregious S", by the way) for his prize. He gave the dagger to Nate; I should note here that neither of them had either of the appropriate weapon proficiencies. Poor Erich.
Two more goblins appeared, via an un-checked-for secret door in the previous room; they were armed with spears, a flask of oil, and a lit rag. Erich tried to kill them with his crossbow, but the shortsword leapt into his hand unbidden, spoiling his aim and making it pretty damn difficult to reload. (Nate offered to act as loader, but Erich wasn't going for it.) Erich charged, and was doused with oil for his troubles. The other goblin (the one holding the rag) jogged backwards for maneuver room, and the goblin with the flask of oil bit Erich and latched on. The goblin with the rag lit its compatriot on fire whilst attempting to ignite Erich, and Nate (who'd been staying back in case Erich pulled a Guy Fawkes) rushed in and scored an amazing critical hit with his battleaxe, cutting the fiery Goblin off of Erich and killing it with a single (30-point!) blow.
The other goblin was quickly slaughtered, and the PCs proceeded deeper into the catacombs. The next room they entered was a stable for a lone Subterranean War Moose (I really, really liked the name, and they were underground, so...), which Erich tried to sucker by petting as he readied his shortsword. He was bitten for 11 points of damage and missed horribly with his cursed weapon, so Nate rushed in to save his buddy. Here (and this is my favorite part of the whole evening), Nate rolled a 1. He then scored an amazing Own Goal on Erich, doing something insane like twenty points of damage and infuriating his erstwhile comrade-in-arms. Still, the PCs persevered, and managed to finish off the moose, though not without loss: they ended the fight with a combined total of twenty hitpoints.
Limping onwards, the PCs found a larder occupied by a spice rack, a dead adventurer, and a scroll that they failed to decipher. The War Moose's mate chose this moment to catch up with them, and the two heroes duked it out, emerging victorious with a combined total of seven hitpoints and one suit of scale mail between them.
At this point, it was 10:30, so we called it a night. All in all, I was very happy with the session; combat went quickly and I didn't get bogged down, Erich and Nate had fun, and the Quote List was amazing.

Raiders sign J.T. O'Sullivan as No. 3 quarterback

The Raiders placed quarterback Bruce Gradkowski on the injured reserve list Thursday, ending his season and probably his two years here. Oakland signed ex-49er J.T. O'Sullivan to back up Jason Campbell and Kyle Boller.
Gradkowski started four games this season, including last week vs. Miami, before reinjuring his shoulder. An MRI exam on Monday showed a third-degree separation, and the Raiders thought that the Gradkowski-Campbell "controversy" was finally over.
But Gradkowski returned to the team facility Wednesday, said he didn't need surgery and thought there was a chance he could play again this season, in four weeks or so. On Thursday, Oakland told him that wouldn't be the case.
"It would be a week or two weeks before he could even throw again," coach Tom Cable said. "You look at what's left on our schedule. It's just not enough time. I think it was a good decision made to move forward."
Gradkowski's contract is up at the end of the season. Campbell, meanwhile, signed a one-year $4.6 million extension for next season after being traded to the Raiders.
O'Sullivan, who joins his 11th team, has played 17 career games, starting eight games for San Francisco in 2008.

Clouds will slowly depart late tonight and temperatures will fall to the single digits in eastern KELOLAND. The teens will be likely in central South Dakota and the twenties in western KELOLAND.
Saturday will be another well below average day in eastern KELOLAND with highs in the twenties. At least the sun will be out and the winds will be light. Central South Dakota will be a little warmer with highs in the thirties to near forty. Western South Dakota will have a warm day with highs in the fifties.
Sunday will be mild for all of KELOLAND. Highs will reach the forties and low fifties in eastern South Dakota. Middle fifties will be common in central South Dakota and the middle sixties will be likely in western KELOLAND.
While we will start next week mild, colder air will arrive by Tuesday. A cold front and low pressure system will slide across KELOLAND Monday into Tuesday. The system will spark periods of light rain and light snow for the southern half of the area. Highs will fall to the thirties by Tuesday, but they'll rebound to the forties and fifties by Thursday.

From Earth Sky:
In what might be the first study to report continuous measurements of net CO2 exchange of urban vegetation and soils over a full year or more, scientists from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Minnesota conclude that not only is vegetation important in the uptake of the greenhouse gas, but also that different types of vegetation play different roles. Their findings will be published July 4 in the current issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research – Biogeosciences, a publication of the American Geophysical Union.
"There has been little research of this type in the urban landscape," said Joe McFadden, an associate professor in the UC Santa Barbara Department of Geography, and a co-author of the study. While continuous CO2 measurements have been made in natural ecosystems all around the globe, only in the past few years have researchers attempted to use them in developed areas such as cities and suburbs, which often contain large amounts of green space.
The researchers found that typical suburban greenery, such as trees and lawns, played significant roles with respect to CO2 uptake. For nine months out of the year, the suburban landscape was a source of CO2 to the atmosphere; but during the summer, the carbon uptake by vegetation was large enough to balance out fossil fuel emissions of carbon within the neighborhood. Compared to the natural landscape outside the city, the peak daily uptake of CO2 in the suburbs would have been at the low end uptake for a hardwood forest in the region.
The study was funded by NASA and is a "first step" toward quantifying the role of vegetation in extensive developed areas, like suburbs, which are the parts of urban areas growing most rapidly in the country. Potential uses for this type of research include urban planning –– where land use and vegetation choices are major decisions –– and policy decisions based on reducing greenhouse gases.

From The Guardian:
From coal mines to rice paddies and cooking fires to diesel exhausts, 14 highly cost-effective measures could quickly curb global warming and save millions of lives, while also boosting global food production. That is the striking conclusion of a new study published in Science and the most authoritative look yet at the opportunities offered in tackling methane and black carbon - soot - pollution.
The headline findings are striking. The measures would reduce warming by 0.5C by 2050, very useful indeed with the world failing to get to grips with carbon dioxide emissions. And that's only half the tale. They would also avert between 0.7 and 4.7 million premature deaths caused by air pollution every year and bump up crop yields by 30 to 135m tonnes a year.
Methane and black carbon have grabbed attention before, in a major UNEP report in 2011 for example, because of the speed with which measures to tackle them take effect. Black carbon floats in the atmosphere for about a week, methane for about a decade, while carbon dioxide hangs around, heating the planet, for about a century. That means cuts in methane and black carbon take effect quickly, though CO2 remains the larger problem.
Drew Shindell, at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who led the research is clear that this is not an either/or situation: "It is not at all a substitution. It would be a big mistake to focus on dealing with the near-term problems of methane and black carbon without also focusing on the problem of carbon dioxide as well."
Nonetheless, his team's work shows action on methane and black carbon is hugely worthwhile and, for the first time, the study shows reveals the regional benefits, from a more stable monsoon in India to better growing plants in Mexico.

From The CBC:
A new NASA study predicts massive ecological changes for Canada's Prairies and boreal regions by the year 2100.
Those areas are in "hot spots" highly vulnerable to massive environmental changes this century due to global warming, the study states.
Much of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba is predicted to see major shifts northward of plant and animal species.
"By about 2100, the climate change projections that we have today would suggest that there would be pressure on that grassland so prevalent in [the Canadian Prairies] to move further northward — and at the expense of the forest moving further northward as well," said NASA climate scientist Duane Walliser, who spoke with CBC News from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Walliser said that all across the globe, whole ecological zones such as deserts and tundra will be on the move because of "unprecedented" warming at a pace faster than at any time in 10,000 years.
But Western Canada will be among the areas hardest hit.
A map of the globe on the NASA study shows much the Prairies in bright red "hot spots" of ecological stress, where 100 per cent of the landscape is predicted to see major changes in plant species.
The NASA study says 37 per cent of Earth's land surface will transform from one major ecosystem zone, or biome, into another, while 49 per cent of land surfaces will see at least some changes in plant species.
Bergengren said some wildlife will not survive these transformations.
"Obviously, it is much easier for plants and animals to migrate or adapt to this level of climatic change over 10,000 years than it is over 100 years," he said.

From Science Daily:
By 2100, global climate change will modify plant communities covering almost half of Earth's land surface and will drive the conversion of nearly 40 percent of land-based ecosystems from one major ecological community type — such as forest, grassland or tundra — toward another, according to a new NASA and university computer modeling study.
Researchers from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, Calif., investigated how Earth's plant life is likely to react over the next three centuries as Earth's climate changes in response to rising levels of human-produced greenhouse gases. Study results are published in the journal Climatic Change.
The model projections paint a portrait of increasing ecological change and stress in Earth's biosphere, with many plant and animal species facing increasing competition for survival, as well as significant species turnover, as some species invade areas occupied by other species. Most of Earth's land that is not covered by ice or desert is projected to undergo at least a 30 percent change in plant cover — changes that will require humans and animals to adapt and often relocate.
In addition to altering plant communities, the study predicts climate change will disrupt the ecological balance between interdependent and often endangered plant and animal species, reduce biodiversity and adversely affect Earth's water, energy, carbon and other element cycles.
"For more than 25 years, scientists have warned of the dangers of human-induced climate change," said Jon Bergengren, a scientist who led the study while a postdoctoral scholar at Caltech. "Our study introduces a new view of climate change, exploring the ecological implications of a few degrees of global warming. While warnings of melting glaciers, rising sea levels and other environmental changes are illustrative and important, ultimately, it's the ecological consequences that matter most."
When faced with climate change, plant species often must "migrate" over multiple generations, as they can only survive, compete and reproduce within the range of climates to which they are evolutionarily and physiologically adapted. While Earth's plants and animals have evolved to migrate in response to seasonal environmental changes and to even larger transitions, such as the end of the last ice age, they often are not equipped to keep up with the rapidity of modern climate changes that are currently taking place. Human activities, such as agriculture and urbanization, are increasingly destroying Earth's natural habitats, and frequently block plants and animals from successfully migrating.

To whet your appetite, here are a few snippets of what you can find inside:
From 'MAINE ROAD MISERY' by Johnny Phillips
City were rebuilding and Allison's spending, which included the untried Mackenzie and Michael Robinson, just didn't work out. Daley's form suffered and he became emblematic of the side's failings. Of that record transfer, Allison would later blame his chairman Peter Swales for going above his head and dealing direct with the Wolves board, which got the deal done quicker but at an inflated cost. The nadir was probably an FA Cup 3rd round defeat in 1980 to Fourth Division Halifax Town at The Shay.
"First Division against Fourth Division in the cup and we're losing 1-0 with 15 minutes to go," remembers Daley. "I looked around our team out on the pitch and it cost about £8.5million to assemble. NASA only spent £10m getting a man to the moon and we couldn't get past Halifax."
From 'THE NUMBER 3: A STUDY IN NUMEROLOGY' by Luke Constable
If you've ever seen the film The Number 23 then you'll most likely hate being reminded that you'd ever done so. It features rubber-faced loon Jim Carrey getting serious in a dramatic role as a man convinced that the eponymous numerical figure is somehow cursed, and is somehow destroying his life. Sounds crazy, huh?
Well, this phenomena known as numerology is as real as the divorce papers your Mum handed your crap Dad that time. Carrey is a long-time believer in the '23 enigma' and cited various examples of the number's eerie properties in promotional interviews prior to the film's release in 2007. To wit – Michael Jordan wore 23 throughout his basketball career, Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times, and actor Jim Carrey nearly ruined his career by making a film about the number 23. Quite what these points are meant to prove is up to you, but to Carrey and other advocates of this eerie curse, it means something absolutely mental.
I can sense your excitement though, dear reader, gathering like the folds of a fat man's pants in so much proverbial bum-crack. Could it be that a similar numerological curse presides over the accumulated weight of football's past, present and future? That all events are pre-ordained, shaped by the whims of destiny? Might it really be true that one solitary number is responsible for controlling the very sport we love?
Why, yes, yes and yes. Issue number three of The Football Pink is the perfect place to share my life's not insubstantial work. Extracted from my university thesis, I present my theory on The Number Three and its invidious influence on the world of football. Look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair.
From 'FOUNDING FATHER – TOM WATSON' by Michael Hudson
His contemporaries called him "the nicest man in football", The Guardian the first truly great manager in the English game. He won five Football League titles, built Sunderland's finest ever team, contributed to the founding of Newcastle United and managed Liverpool for nineteen years. But Tom Watson's grave lay unmarked and all but unremembered for almost a century after his death. As recently as 2012, two years after Liverpool were first approached about funding a headstone for the club's longest-serving manager, his only memorial was a handwritten cardboard sign in a corner of Anfield Cemetery.
Born in Heaton Terrace, Newcastle in 1859, Watson had an unremarkable amateur playing career with Rosehill Football Club before taking up the secretary's post at Newcastle West End. The duties of a club secretary were normally restricted to arranging fixtures and recording match details, but the affable Tynesider's genius came in his ability to spot and organise talented football players. Arranging for West End to take over the lease on St James' Park, he oversaw their entry into national competition and massively raised the profile of the club by attracting Scottish internationals Ralph Aitken and Bob Kelso. Kelso, capped for his country and twice a Scottish Cup winner, later added an English championship with Preston North End and an FA Cup while at Everton, arriving on Tyneside as an unofficial world champion following Renton's 4-1 victory over English cup holders West Bromwich Albion. But both the player and the man who signed him were soon on the move, reports suggesting Watson had become disaffected when West End's board criticised his organisation of a larger than expected cup tie crowd.
In the summer of 1888, the same year representatives of twelve clubs met in Manchester to form the Football League, Watson crossed the city to Newcastle East End. The effect was immediate. Offering £5 signing-on fees and the promise of a Tyneside factory job, Watson was able to entice a further succession of Scottish players across the border. Within three years West End's fortunes had dwindled, their remaining assets, including the twelve years left on the St James' Park lease, transferred to East End. In December 1892, a team built around a spine of Watson's remaining Scottish signings played its first game as Newcastle United.
From 'THERE'S NOTHING DULL ABOUT DULWICH' by Martin Cloake
After the league title was won, the players stayed in the club bar late into the night, dancing to old-skool reggae with the fans. Not, in case you were wondering how you missed this, at the self-styled Theatre of Dreams in Manchester, but in the clubhouse in the Tommy Jover Stand at Champion Hill, tucked in behind the Sainsbury's on Dog Kennel Hill in south east London – just by the car wash – and home to newly-crowned Isthmian League Division One South champions Dulwich Hamlet.
I didn't stay for the party. I was in the back row of the Tommy Jover Stand when Xavier Vidal thumped home the second-half equaliser that clinched the title, my young son and I leaping from our seats together and punching the air as the packed stand erupted in relief. Then the woman next to me, sitting with her son, said: "This is going to be the longest 20 minutes of our lives." But The Hamlet not only held on, they never looked like losing their grip as they had in a nervy first-half performance.
At the end, the hard core packed in behind the goal into which Vidal's 18-yarder had arrowed burst over the low fence onto the pitch. As they gathered in the centre circle with the players, they were joined by many more fans who strolled on to the grass and sand in one of football's more sedate pitch invasions. "Do you want to go on there?" I asked my son. He gave the standard shrug and nod of the apprentice teenager. "Alright, yeah." So we ambled on, soaking up the atmosphere on a spring afternoon that had, as if scripted, turned from showers to bright sunshine as soon as the scores were leveled and the title secured. We watched as the players fought their way up to the balcony in the stand; as midfielder Erhun Oztumer, 'the Lionel Messi of non-league football', unfurled a Turkish flag, and the trophy was lifted. And then we went off to catch the bus.
There's plenty more where that came from. So pick up your copy TODAY!!

Recent Falmouth Reviews
Great Time on Waquoit Bay
We were one of 3 couples staying at your cottage; it was more like a home than a cottage. Nice and clean, wonderful place, all of the amenities you would need. Having a dock for our boats was perfect. Short boat ride to sandy beaches, warm water, fishing, and once out of the Bay it was a short trip to Oak Bluffs, nice day on The Vineyard without the hassle of the ferry. We brought our Bocce and Ladder Ball games, so the lawn area was used every afternoon. Grilling was convenient with your gas grill right there. The cottage was just as nice, if not nicer than your listing, pictures and descriptions accurate, as well as the amenities listed. We look forward to coming back next summer if you would have us.
we enjoyed our stay!
The cottage is a cozy getaway and satisfied our needs comfortably. The sixties kitchen is cool and well equipped. The decorations and furnishings are simple and very tasteful. Jeanette is a dear! The patio with gas grill and free bikes make the cottage an even better deal! Room for improvement: A light on the patio would be great. New covers on the living room couch might be a thought. It is conveniently located and offers lots to see nearby. Falmouth is a cute little town with beautiful beaches and marches. Thanks for a great stay!
Great, clean house n a neat little neighborhood
Clean, easy rental that was a second from a really nice sandy beach. The whole neighbor hood is classic cape is great for walks, to workout, run etc... It reminded me of visiting the cape as a kid. I was surprise at how big the yard was to just hang out in as we did cook twice on the grill. But there is also a bunch of good restaurant right in the area, which the owners were kind enough to point out and they were easy to deal with. This was my first rental and it was what I'd hoped. I would definitely recommend it to family. I'd also plan to cook/grill more at the house since there is some cool little markets close by and I forgot my good camera. There are some beautiful sunsets to see.

The 2nd AGCO Africa Summit – January 21, 2013
AGCO will host the 2nd annual Africa Summit on January 21, 2013 in Berlin, Germany.
Food security has never been so profoundly challenged. In 2050, it is projected that the global population will rise to more than 9 billion people. The challenge is to produce more food to meet this ever-increasing demand; with less resources and at a higher cost than ever before.
In addition to the world's exploding population, diet patterns are changing: as developing nations gain affluence eating habits shift from staple crops towards more consumption of dairy and meat products. Annual meat production alone will need to increase 75% by 2050 to keep up with demand. This puts further pressure on already-dwindling reserves, and means society will have to make a trade-off between growing crops to feed the local community, and delivering marketable goods to meet demand elsewhere. Innovation and investment has driven agricultural productivity to new highs in developed countries, and should now be redirected towards a continent that has the resources and potential to feed the world.
Africa provides the answer. Nowhere in the world is there such an abundance of untapped resources. According to the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) 15% of the world's arable land lies in Africa, of which 86% remains uncultivated. Pre-1960 – Africa provided 10% of the world's food – that figure is less than 1% today.
Africa lies at the heart of what promises to be a new Agricultural Revolution.
The solution is to develop a systematic approach that enables a strategic partnership to deliver crops that feed increasing populations in an economically, environmentally and socially responsible way. While the challenge is enormous, the opportunities are both substantial and achievable. Farmers are among the main beneficiaries of agricultural development and are at the very core of the solution. But there is no 'one-size-fits-all' approach. A lack of infrastructure, mechanization and technology across the continent calls for market-based cooperation between farmers, private industry, government and society to establish a new blueprint.
Africa holds the key to ensuring a sustainable food supply, but only if a new road map for progress is developed, harnessing both the expertise of the private industry sector and the knowledge of local communities.

Massey Ferguson 9500 Series Combine Proudly Waves the Maple Leaf
For the first time since it was launched last fall, the new Massey Ferguson 9500 Series axial combine will be on display at the 2012 Western Canada Farm Progress Show.
The combine will be wrapped proudly in the Canadian flag, recognizing the pride and heritage of the first widely available self-propelled harvesters which were manufactured in Toronto, Ontario. "There is a great sense of pride among Massey Ferguson combine owners because of the long history of innovation and harvest excellence the machines have always delivered," says Kevin Cobb, product marketing manager at Massey Ferguson. "The new 9500 Series offers the very latest in innovation, bringing growers some pretty impressive fuel efficiency and harvest capacity benefits. The Western Canada Farm Progress Show is a fitting stage to dress this combine with the Maple Leaf and to recognize its Canadian heritage and pride. It's your country, your combine." Visitors to the Western Canada Farm Progress Show may see the 9500 Series combines at the Massey Ferguson display in space #9420 on Lot M.
The 9500 Series has exhibited exceptional fuel efficiency without compromising power or torque ratings. "Growers are seeing 20 percent improvement in fuel efficiency, as well as 20 percent increase in harvest capacity with the 9500 series," Cobb adds. The improvements are made possible by AGCO POWER diesel engines with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) clean-air technology. With SCR, the exhaust reduction process takes place outside of the engine after combustion. As a result, the engine stays cooler – so as to not diminish engine performance or fuel efficiency.
Massey Ferguson has further enhanced performance by changing the engine's configuration. It's now in line with the rotor, so power flow remains direct. This helps optimize power for smooth, efficient harvesting even when terrain, environment, crop volume and crop conditions become particularly challenging.
The Massey Ferguson 9500 Series features three all-new models: the MF9520, with a six-cylinder 8.4 liter engine and the MF9540 and MF9560 which each offer an all-new 9.8 liter, seven-cylinder engine positioned in-line with the axial rotor for maximum driveline efficiency.
"The new Massey Ferguson harvesting lineup answers the most challenging question – how to build a combine with more capacity and less complexity," adds Cobb. "As evidenced by the all-new Massey Ferguson 9500 Series axial combines, we've come a long way since Massey-Harris perfected the world's first commercially successful self-propelled combine in 1938. Because we've not forgotten the principles and ideas upon which Massey Ferguson was founded, we are committed to designing and developing state-of-the-art machinery that exceeds grower's expectations in performance and reliability."
For more information on the new Massey Ferguson 9500
Series axial combines, be sure to attend the Western Canada Farm Progress Show or stop by your local Massey Ferguson dealer.
AGCO Intivity Center and Manufacturing Expansion Officially Open
AGCO celebrates the grand opening of Intivity Center and the 75,000-square-foot expansion of its Jackson, Minn., manufacturing center.
The investment brings production of Challenger and Massey Ferguson high-horsepower wheeled row crop tractors to North America — a decision that was announced in early 2011. The manufacturing center expansion will contribute more than $17 million dollars and 200 jobs to the local economy, bringing the total number of professional, support and skilled manufacturing positions at the facility to 1,050. Intivity Center, a 17,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art visitor center, is AGCO's first welcome center in North America, and showcases the farmer-focused innovation behind the brands upon which the company has been built.
Intivity Center offers an extensive collection of historical artifacts — many never before seen by the public. In addition, it includes a glimpse of the future of agricultural equipment through interactive displays demonstrating equipment technology in development at AGCO. Open to the public Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Intivity Center is expected to attract an estimated 10,000 visitors per year.
Martin Richenhagen, chairman and CEO, and Bob Crain, senior vice president and general manager, AGCO North America, opened Intivity Center with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by more than 500 dealers, employees, state and local elected officials and the media. A public open house for the local community will be held Saturday, June 9, 2012.
"Today is a great day for AGCO, and we're thrilled to bring the production of Massey Ferguson and Challenger row crop tractors to North America for our North American customers and dealers," said Richenhagen. "This is one in a continuum of efforts AGCO is undertaking through our commitment to deliver superior products, service and innovation as we have never done before.
"AGCO is proud to bring North American farmers the benefit of our global expertise in agricultural equipment, and Intivity Center captures many examples of our efforts, both from the past and those we will be bringing to market in the future," added Richenhagen.
Crain reiterated the reasons Jackson was chosen as the ideal place in North America to manufacture the company's row crop tractors.
"There is a long-standing tradition of hard work, commitment and understanding of customer needs here in Jackson. This commitment is evident from the speed with which the team here undertook and completed the construction, and brought the line up to full capacity to produce the Massey Ferguson and Challenger row crop tractors we can now proudly say are 'built in North America' for our customers and dealers here," Crain said. "Thank you to everyone who has made this day possible, particularly our outstanding team of Jackson employees, led by Eric Fisher, director of operations. Jackson and our new Intivity Center are truly the new hometown of Agriculture and Innovation."
Farm equipment manufacturing has been a part of the Jackson community since 1963, when Ag-Chem Equipment Company was founded as a distributor of spraying equipment. Ag-Chem was purchased by AGCO in 2001. Jackson is now home to Challenger and Massey Ferguson high-horsepower wheeled row crop tractors as well the Challenger track tractors and application equipment.

Sassieon Dupris - INDICA
Artist: Sassieon Dupris
Producer: Mic West
Album: Love| Fear| & Fantasies II
Avg Rating: 4.0 ( 7 total votes )
Like many other R&B singers before him, Sassieon Dupris has chosen to make his DJBooth debut with a love song. But the relationship depicted on INDICA is slightly nontraditional, consisting of a man, a woman and a girl named Mary Jane. Over a blissfully mellow instrumental by Mic West, the Oklahoman recording artist celebrates the simple pleasure of getting lifted with someone you love, delivering his verses in a blunted near-whisper. Will you be flipping INDICA on next time you light up with your main squeeze (or on your lonesome, if you happen to be single)? If so, you'll undoubtedly find more to your liking on Love| Fear| & Fantasies II, scheduled to drop digitally August 14.
