MT Candidates for Congress
At Large:
History of Montana. Information that every Montana Election Candidates for US Senate Should Know:
Native Americans have inhabited this land for thousands of years. 200 years ago Lewis and Clark traversed what would one day be known as Montana. Discovered in the 1860s, gold attracted men with visions of riches. Outlaws, cattle, cowboys and railroads quickly followed. The story of the 20th century became a saga of ranching, mining, logging, tourism and the preservation of nature's treasures.
Archeological evidence has shown indigenous peoples lived in the area for thousands of years. For example, rock art in Pictograph Cave six miles (10 km) south of Billings has been dated, showing human presence in the area more than 2,100 years ago. Most indigenous people of the region were nomadic, following the buffalo herds and other game

The Department of Biological Sciences is a diverse group of faculty and students focused on the study of living organisms across a wide variety of scales from the cellular and molecular to the landscape scales. In addition, students and faculty regularly collaborate with colleagues in other departments and institutions to foster truly interdisciplinary approaches both in the classroom and in the research setting. Research strengths of the department include: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Ecology and Conservation Biology, and Neuroscience and Behavior.
The mission of the department is three-fold:
- To provide high-quality instruction in Biology for undergraduate and graduate students;
- To conduct research of national and international significance in the field of Biology; and
- To provide professional leadership to the national and international scientific communities.
We offer three undergraduate majors (biology, microbiology and neuroscience), two specializations (Ecology and Conservation Biology; Marine and Aquatic Biology) and master's and doctoral degree work in the three areas of focus as well as in related areas.
The department is proud of the education we provide students in our courses at all levels and the research experiences they gain in the laboratory and field. Our students are among the most competitive when they graduate and go on to succeed in their chosen field upon completion of their undergraduate or graduate work at the University.

Why Soy Candles?
Once you use a soy wax candle, you will know exactly why - soy wax candles are longer burning and cleaner, without paraffin candle soot and smoke buildup.
Madeline Island Candles are made from good, old-fashioned, earth-grown soybeans to create environmentally friendly candles. The soy wax that we use is renewable, biodegradable, and made in the USA.
The Island
It could be the history, cultural heritage, or perhaps it's natural beauty that has made Madeline Island so bewitching. Bald eagle nests to discover, children scouring Big Bay beach for flat rock skipping stones, and others forgetting clocks and deadlines while they enjoy these jewels of Lake Superior – the Apostle Islands.

The Yellow Shafted Flicker
The name that the Ojibwe people gave to Madeline Island was "Moniwunakauning Miniss" meaning "Home of the Yellow Breasted Woodpecker" – also known as the Yellow-shafted Flicker. A medium sized member of the woodpecker family and native to most of North America, the Northern Flicker is one of the few species of woodpeckers that migrate. When Equaysayway, daughter of Chief White Crane and a member of the Ojibway aristocracy, married fur trader Michael Cadotte, she was given the name " Madeleine". Her pleased father declared the island should be named in her honor.

Hampshire County Council statement after Woolwich attack
Hampshire County Council has issued a statement following the death of a soldier in Woolwich on Wednesday. Councillor Roy Perry was one of the founding co-chairmen of Hampshire's Interfaith Network.
– Councillor Roy Perry, Leader of Hampshire County Council
I know from my many good contacts with Muslims in Hampshire formed since we created the Interfaith Network, that they are just as appalled as people of all other faiths at the terrible murder of the young serviceman in Woolwich. Sadly all religions including Christianity have people who distort their faith and do unacceptable things supposedly in the name of their religion as we saw in Northern ireland for instance.
The councillor added:
– Councillor Roy Perry, Leader of Hampshire County Council
I am confident the good and peaceful inter community relations we have in Hampshire and which we have worked collectively to achieve, means this appalling incident will not detract from the peace and harmony we enjoy in our county. I thank our local Imams for their leadership and their clear statements of condemnation of the perpetrators of this act.

Now is not the time to add bonds or bond funds to one's portfolio. The risk of rising interest rates coming down the road will reduce the value of the bonds. At historic low rates, unless one holds individual bonds to maturity, the yield from the bonds will be more than off-set by the declining price of those bond holdings, especially in a bond fund. In regards to PIMCO, they are reducing their holdings of U.S. Treasury debt in a big way in anticipation of rising rates. That should tell you something.

For Students in Recovery: The Student in Recovery listserv was developed by the ABA Commission on Lawyer Assistance Programs (CoLAP) to provide a confidential email vehicle for law students who want to get, or stay, clean and sober while in law school. This is a chance for students to connect with and ask questions of their law student peers throughout the US and share their experience, strength and hope. If you wish to be added to the listserv, interested law students should contact Niki Irish, directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. Students should be prepared to talk a bit about their history and about their need and desire to communicate with other law students facing similar challenges. Ms. Irish will make the final determination to add the student to the Listserv and will provide each student with the rules and regulations regarding use of the "Student in Recovery Listserv." When a student graduates and is admitted to the bar, he/she will be removed from the Listserv. This service is confidential.

Studio tour: Lovely
Name: Lanie List
Location: 313 West 4th Street, Garden Level Entrance, West Village, NYC!
Company: Lovely
What is your aesthetic? It's a total girl-fest here. Venetian mirrors, robin's egg blue walls, pink bicycle, papel picados. When getting married, brides have to start melding their interior design styles with their new husbands, so we like the idea of Lovely being a place the bride can totally girl out before she takes that next step. We also have a touch of vintage rustic in there, to take some of the sweetness off the top. As for our dress aesthetic…we cater to so many looks: romantic, classic, glam. No two brides are alike so it's important to have a curated mix of dresses and accessories to personalize each bride's look.
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? Finding a dress should be a blast, so the whimsy in our store carries over to our sales approach. Relax, have a good time, giggle lots, and find the most amazing dress!
Favorite part of your studio? By far our 'trying on salons'. Each brides gets a private room with a ginormous mirror and ample seating. It makes for such a lovely experience. Our favorite part will probably be our garden once we are finished with the landscaping and can have back yard parties!
Where do you go for inspiration? BLOGS! A lot of our décor elements were adopted from someone's wedding or design décor. We are going to change them up with the seasons, which makes for fun projects for our employees, and down the road, fun workshops in our space for brides and industry folks.
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? Our iPad is pretty amazing. We had it with us at the Cynthia Rowley bridesmaid launch event, which took place in Cynthia's store, and we took appointments remotely.
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? We could use another floor! We need more space to accommodate our wait list.
Anything else we should know? Well we have one little secret…we are helping a good friend from the bridal industry launch a new line so we are super excited about that. Make sure you check out our blog before October market and we'll be revealing all of the Juicy details!

Studio tour: The English Dept
Name: Elizabeth Dye
Location: Portland, Oregon
Company: The English Dept.
What do you do? I am a dress designer specializing in non-traditional wedding gowns. I've been working as a clothing designer for about 10 years, and bridal has become more and more my specialty. It really chose me—my first wedding gowns were for friends who despaired that there was nothing out there for them in traditional gown-land. Since then I've discovered that it's a niche that really suits my sensibilities. I love to get a bit fancy, and that dash of drama seems just right for a special garment like a wedding dress.
What is your aesthetic? Modern simplicity inset with antique details. I like classic dress silhouettes that are universally flattering, re-invented using unusual fabrics and mixed-media details. Whenever possible, I incorporate fabrics and trims that have that soft-focus charm I associate with heirloom garments from the late 19th and early 20th century. The most incredible dresses were being made in those decades—it's really the last era of handmade, before the Industrial Revolution and mechanized garment manufacture changed everything. Although I'm past the point where I'm able to make everything myself, by hand, I want all my dresses to have that feeling. I want my dresses to feel personal, intentional, and loved.
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? Since this is my work space, it really needs to be spare and uncluttered. That said, the limited palette of whites and pale neutrals is very much my style! I keep cuts of antique lace, buttons and trims in bins within easy reach, since these pieces always inspire me. I am a visual person and am known to tape a piece of lace or ribbon to the wall to keep myself thinking about how to use it.
Favorite part of your studio? I fell in love with the light immediately—the north-facing windows deliver soft, steady sunlight all day long. In our often rainy Northwest, good light is crucial to helping me stay productive and in a sunny mood!
Where do you go for inspiration? Historical garments, period films and set pieces. I love the Regency Period, as well as the silver screen glamour of the 1930s. I believe that many of the most beautiful dresses in the world have already been made, and I enjoy rediscovering and reimagining those ideas from my own point of view.
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? She's not really a tool, but Sarah (my studio assistant) helps make it all possible! Not only does she contribute to the very real work of cutting and assembling the dresses, she is a wonderful sounding board for new ideas and design challenges. I am by nature a collaborative creator, and I love having her in the mix—it makes me a better designer.
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? I wish I could clone her and have a roomful of helpers. Baby steps.
Anything else we should know? There's a lot of emphasis on "the dress" when it comes to planning a wedding, and it's my mission to make that dress an enjoyable and meaningful part of the journey. Marriage is a momentous time in people's lives, and I think it's wonderful that more and more brides are choosing alternatives to the soulless ritual of buying a big poofy princess gown off the rack. I have been fortunate to meet many incredible women who have honored me with their trust by wearing one of my dresses. I think I have a pretty great job.

Studio tour: David Beahm Design
Name: David Beahm
Location: 529 West 20th St. Suite 11W, NYC
Company: David Beahm Design
What do you do? Custom Event Styling: social, corporate, not-for-profit and destinations
What is your aesthetic? We try desperately to remember for whom we are designing, so I guess we hope that our aesthetic is that of our client – with some occasional gentle judicious guidance, of course…
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? I like it because it is all over the place, just like our clients. I have decorated it, hopefully, so that there is an element that every person who comes in can find something visually that makes them comfortable. There are clean, hard lines, no color areas, colorful areas, modern touches and oriental rugs to soften.
Favorite part of your studio? Number one – we have wide open space! But I do love the way the sunlight plays on Vivian's (our studio cat) fur through the glass bricks. We didn't have full sun in our last studio.
Where do you go for inspiration? We live in New York – I walk down the street and always see something new and wonderful every time.
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? Wide open communication.
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? If I could find a way to plug my imagination into an imaging device so that clients could see the way I envision their events, our sales would be through the roof. But when it comes to gadgets, bring on the newest and the best – they make me very happy.
Anything else we should know? I have the great fortune of being blessed with a garden on my rooftop in Hell's Kitchen. I have trees, about twenty five different herbs, decorative plants and, this year, nine different varieties of heirloom tomatoes that I grow in Earth Boxes. Until we get a formal link, you can visit them on my New York City Tomato Cam. View it at http://beahm.viewnetcam.com:50000/CgiStart Click "Single" to bring up the cam.

Studio tour: Emersonmade
Name: Emerson
Location: Portsmouth NH
Company: EmersonMade
What do you do? Womens Apparel and accessories
What is your aesthetic? Timeless classics mixed with statement pieces
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? Our studio is in a old brick mill along side a river. Our professional aesthetic is very organized but also I think the company headquarters should be a really inspiring, visually exciting place. You want something that can tell a story and capture your interest and imagination.
Favorite part of your studio? Thick solid brick walls and deep windows. The building is inspiring and the walls with their chipping concrete, unevenness, and character just make you want to create things
Where do you go for inspiration? Research is probably the biggest thing. I spend lots of time researching, collecting, analyzing, and editing. Second to that would be nature and traveling. Both make you step back and appreciate life and all that exists. For instance Fireflies exist. Can you believe that! how is this possible.
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? Input from my best friend and better half Ryan. I constantly bounce ideas off of him and he tells me exactly what he thinks- good or bad- which is an indispensible. He's half of emersonmade and I'm unbelievably lucky to have him as my mate. Also my computer especially when we're commuting from nyc to nh weekly working on the clothing line.
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? Anything that creates more time in the day. So many things I want to do, accomplish, and see. But no, surprisingly can't think of anything to upgrade to unless there are inexpensive robots out there I can buy who do chores and housework.
Anything else we should know? We are always trying to find ways to make our products better. I think having a workspace that reflects the character of your products and creates happy employees is key in the long term of being successful.

Studio tour: Merriment Events
Name: Courtney Spencer
Location: Richmond, Virginia
Company: Merriment
What do you do? Event planning & design
What is your aesthetic? funky elegant/tradition with a twist
How does your studio style convey your professional aesthetic? I love mixing old + new. My desk is a antique piece I found for a bargain at West End Antiques (hello heaven). The paint is chipping and its edges are worn…I LOVE that. It means it's had a life before me…it's full of history and story. There's something too easy about just going out and buying a room full of new pieces. That so totally isn't me. I like the thrill of the hunt…finding that one piece that's just so interesting you can't leave it behind. And, I abhor officey looking spaces, so instead of leaving my new filing cabinet office park black, I spray painted it ivory and used ribbon as drawer pulls. Pretty + functional. I hope the events I design are full of details that convey story & meaning, just like the pieces in my office.
Where do you go for inspiration? I usually go to antique stores & fabric shops. If I'm really needing to get out of the way, I drive out to the country…Virginia is so beautiful.
What tool do you use in your business that you can't live without? My hands.
Is there anything you'd upgrade to? More hands.

The early season and special dates calendar for the Big 12 conference came out on Tuesday morning and while there was one expected development in regards to the games that the Longhorn Network will carry, there was one surprise.
In the former category, the still-fledgling network will carry the New Mexico State opener on August 31 at 7 p.m. CT. In the latter category? The season's third contest against Ole Miss on September 14 will start at the same time on the same network, which one AP writer commented could make it the most-watched illegal stream of the year for college football fans, a statement that could certainly hold true if ESPN can't come to more carriage agreements before the season.
Ole Miss fans may have a better shot of watching the game than many Texas fans, at least those located in the Mississippi area:
Ole Miss & ESPN are working on TV accommodations for Rebel fans for the Texas game.— Ole Miss Football (@OleMissFB) June 4, 2013
The LHN has made viewership accommodations for local television networks in the past so opposing fans have at least some access to the games.
A third game should also air on the school's network, most likely the home contest against Kansas on November 2.
The team's lack of success over the last three seasons, compounded by struggles in the other two major sports, haven't exactly made the proposition a better investment for carriers . Meanwhile, ESPN doesn't look likely to make off their demands just to get the network out there.
So, cue the hue and cry against the network once again.
The good news is that the high profile of the game pitting a potentially rising Texas team against what is unquestionably a rising Ole Miss team under Hugh Freeze could help push carriers to think a little bit more about coming to an agreement with ESPN. And any viewer ire should, as always, be directed towards the carriers since Texas athletics has nothing to do with negotations and ESPN isn't going to chance their stance because of public pressure. The carriers could possibly be another story, however.
In other programming news, the second game against BYU in Provo is an ESPN2 telecast that kicks at 6 p.m. CT and the Thanksgiving battle against Texas Tech won't be the only Thursday game this year, as ESPN is picking up Texas-Iowa St. on October 3 at 6:30 p.m. CT.

Crisis over primary school places
It is believed about 800 children in the capital are still without primary school places after an extra 6000 applications were received.
Are primary school problems blighting the capital?
A lack of primary school places is blighting the capital.
Imagine having to sell your home because you cannot find a state primary school place for your child.
That is the drastic measure one mother is having to go through because of the lack of places in London schools.
Another is still chasing a place for her child despite the fact it is already the first week of term.
Those are just two of the people who contacted London Tonight, after we reported on Monday on the primary school problems.
And there are hundreds more like them.
The full story now from Piers Hopkirk.
Shortage of school places expected to hit 90,000
The shortfall of primary and secondary school places across the capital is set to rise faster than expected, to around 90,000 by 2016, London Councils have warned.
Long-term demand for school places will continue to grow across the capital, with the cost of meeting this expected to reach £2.3bn within the next four years, according to new analysis done by the organisation which lobbies on behalf of the capital's 33 local authorities.
Councils have been trying to provide 241 new classrooms in London to meet the demand for pupils just about to start reception class.
This year 6,000 more children applied for a reception place in London for September, compared to September 2011, bringing the total number of applicants to 100,000.
Department for Education : 'We're creating thousands more places'
A Department for Education spokesperson said:
We know that London has pressures, which is why we're creating thousands more places to deal with the impact of soaring birth rates on primary schools.
We've already invested just over £1 billion in London this year and last to create extra school places and hundreds of millions of pounds will follow.
We are building Free Schools and letting the most popular schools expand to meet demand.
We are also intervening to drive up standards in weak primaries across the capital, which have empty places simply because parents don't want to send their children there.
800 children still have no primary school place
It's thought around 800 children in the capital still without primary school places, leaving parents concerned.Read the full story

Kids drop their lunch off in an assigned bin and say good-bye to their parents. Thursday groups meet at the Kids Camp Magic Carpet, to the left of the lodge.
Groups leave at 9am. If you are running late, instructors will take one run and return to the meeting to pick up any latecomers. If you miss the 2nd check-in, you can join us at lunch. Lunches are taken between 11:20 am and 12:00 pm in the Mountaineers Room and Kids Camp. Please check in with a supervisor to see where your child's lunch is located.
Students will need to bring their lunch in a disposable bag and will not be able to go to the cafeteria to purchase food. Make sure you clearly label the lunch with a first and last name. Please take into consideration our lunch room is small, which limits parent visitation. Alpine Kids is not responsible for lunch boxes and we cannot return them at the end of the day. If your child has special dietary needs for their lunchbox, please speak with a supervisor.
Group Placement
The first day and a half is spent getting children into the appropriate groups, which is based on age and ability level. For the remainder of the season, children stay with their designated group. If the coaches and supervisors see a need to adjust a child's placement, we will move them as necessary. Instructors are focused on building technique using appropriate terrain to develop abilities in anticipation of more challenging terrain. Our focus is on skill, using all mountain terrain.
Chairlift Riding Policy
Be advised that your child may be riding lifts alone or with other children or adults, while enrolled in these programs. Please review the most recent Children's Chairlift Code of Conduct, and help us to train your child to understand the importance of sitting back, holding on, and no fooling around, while on a lift. Click here to review our chairlift riding policies.
We will run regardless of weather conditions 99% of the time. It is very rare for us to cancel the program due to weather, however if there is a resort closure we will determine a plan of action that morning. An email will be sent out as late as 8:30am, regarding any changes. Please do not call the supervisor's office as they have on-hill duties. See the snow & grooming report
Make-up Sessions
It is your responsibility to participate in the days designated for the program. We do not offer makeup days or drop-ins, and you may only participate on the day and time you registered for.
All students must have the following: eye protection, helmet, pass, sunscreen, gloves or mittens, skis and boots, and appropriate snow clothing. Snacks are not provided, so please send a snack in a pocket.
Tips to make your day go smoothly…

RUGBY UNION: Chinnor book is start of a living history
8:00am Thursday 19th December 2013 in Rugby By Ed Mezzetti, Sports reporter specialising in Rugby, Cricket and Athletics. Call me on 01865 425456
BOB Mitchell hopes his history of Chinnor provides an opening chapter rather than a final page.
The club stalwart, former player and committee member compiled a book to mark Chinnor's 50th anniversary this year.
And as his work goes on sale, Mitchell hopes it will prove a springboard for others to fill in some of the blanks.
"I decided to call it a living history because now we have created it, we can build on it over the years," he said. "I started it well over a year ago.
"We have not been very good at keeping records as a club.
"But what we do have is a number of people who have been at the club throughout its life, so that has helped me piece together the history.
"The first three captains are still involved."
Chinnor were founded in the village's Bird in Hand pub on March 15, 1963.
The club's first full season began on September 14, 1963 and they hosted Dings Crusaders in National 2 South on the same date 50 years later.
In between, Chinnor played at four different homes before moving to their Kingsey Road, Thame ground in 1988.
They announced themselves as a force in county rugby by winning the Oxfordshire Cup in 1977, but it is the last decade where they have enjoyed greatest success.
Chinnor have won the county cup for the last four seasons and are enjoying a second season in National 2 South, with only Henley Hawks of Oxon's indigenous clubs ranked higher.
Asked about his highlight in compiling the book, Mitchell said: "Just meeting a lot of people who were involved in the club in the early days.
"Some I have met personally and others through the powers of the internet.
"Putting it together has been fun, although it was knackering.
"I just felt that in 50 years' time, there wouldn't be these people around and their memories would be lost.
"It was something that needed to be done.
"I have now got a box full of memorabilia at home."
Their anniversary year has been marked by a number of celebratory events and voting for the club's all-time best XV.
Chinnor have produced some outstanding players over the years, perhaps most notably Tom Johnson, Dave Seymour and Paul Volley in recent times.
Who was the best? Mitchell would not be drawn.
"It is hard to know," he said. "I wouldn't get involved."
The book can be ordered via chinnor-rfc.com

LAS VEGAS -- Major advances were made against the Carpenter 1 Fire in the past 24 hours and the wildfire is now 45 percent contained, Incident Management Team officials announced.
Over the past 12 days the fire has charred nearly 44 square miles and burned six structures at a remote ranch on Mount Charleston. As of Thursday morning, the fire was only 15 percent contained.
Interactive Map of Carpenter 1 Fire
The rainy weather gave firefighters an opportunity to gain ground Thursday evening against the blaze and there is a 50 percent chance of rain Friday. Crews have been working to protect around 400 homes on the mountain. The fire is contained in the Rainbow subdivision area. There are 1,386 people and 75 engines being used to fight the wildfire.
While the rain has brought relief to the fire crews, there is some danger of flooding on the mountain due to loss of vegetation.
U.S. Senator Dean Heller is expected to tour the Carpenter 1 Fire Friday morning.
There will be a community meeting Friday at 5:30 p.m. in Pahrump at 2100 E. Walt Williams Drive, the commissioner's chamber at Calvada Eye.
The cost of fighting the blaze has reached nearly $12 million.

Alright, all you Sun (Joe) Life (Robbie) Stadium attendees! Time to tailgate!
Susan & I are arriving FLL at noon, grabbing a car, checking in to hotel, then stopping at beverage/food store. From there we head to the parking lot. Since we're flying in, we'll be "roughing it.

It'd be great to hook up with Phinsiders. If anyone's up for it, throw me an email & I'll throw back my cell so we can map out the parking lot. I'm not familiar enough with the lot(s) to know where to park but I know how to drink!
Oh yeah, while Tunaflipper suits me just fine, I also go by Josh.
Just look for us. We'll be wearing orange.

Starfish started two lunch deals in January. One is the "express" set, costs rmb58 and includes a small soup, salad, fruit and a main. The other is the "chef's" set, costs rmb118 and includes an appetizer, main and dessert, with a choice of three for each. The deal runs Tuesday to Sunday, 11:30 AM to 2 PM, and I stopped by just before Chinese New Year to "express" myself.
Before I get to that, an oyster update: Starfish covers a good swath of North America with its new lineup. The place has Kumamotos, Yaquina Bays and Olympias from Oregon, Standish Shores, Marionports and Onsets from Massachusetts, Moonstones from Rhode Island and Salutation Coves from Prince Edward Island. Plus, in a cross-ocean nod, a bunch of Gillardeau #2 from some place called France. To guarantee stocks, check ahead at 6416-5499 or info (at) starfishbeijing.com.
Back to lunch. The soup, salad and fruit arrived simultaneously and were fine. Fresh, healthy, the kind of stuff that should do a body good even if making it scream for calories. Nothing to write home about or even inspire an SMS. Etc. But what made this lunch something to type a post about was the seafood linguine. This dish arrived loaded with five kinds of seafood — salmon, halibut, clams, mussels, shrimp — a tiny fish market on a plate. Pretty much worth the price of lunch alone.
Good stuff and an experience made better by the efficient and polite staff. I will be back to try more dishes. But one weird thing about Starfish is how eerily quiet it is. On every visit, the music has been barely audible. Is this to emphasize the sound of the oyster tanks? Or because Starfish has the most noise-sensitive neighbors of all-time? Or because the vibrations from even moderately loud jazz have been known to make Yaquina Bay oysters explode? Someone get to the bottom of this!

Accident at J30 causing M25 misery
Updated 3:04pm Monday 19th May 2014 in News
A MULTI-vehicle smash caused long delays on the M25.
One lane was closed clockwise and the entry slip road at Junction 30 of the M25 was partially closed following the collision, which involved a lorry and a car.
Lane one of three had to be closed on the main carriageway, and a car was left sideways on at the end of the entry slip road.
Queues stretched back as far as junction 29, for Romford and Basildon but delays have now eased.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - According to a new study at the University of Maryland, researchers are testing the effects of music on blood vessels. They are not just testing easy listening but country, rap, rock and every other kind of music.
Dr. Michael Miller, a cardiologist at the University of Maryland Medical Center says, "What we found was that listening to music that we enjoy, and I think that is the critical component here, really seems to boost our blood vessel dilation." He goes on to say, "It's not only causing the blood vessel to dilate, but it also affects the way platelets clump together, so it reduces clot formation."
Whatever the music, researchers found it did more than just make people feel good. It relaxed blood vessels and increased blood flow, similar to what happens during aerobic exercise. Likewise, the study found music that irritates you can have the opposite effect, like making you anxious on the inside as well. So, besides eating right and exercising, this study found that listening to your favorite music may be another good prescription for heart health.

RBI to allow more banks to import gold
Our Bureau
Mumbai , March 1
The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to permit more banks to import gold and ease the eligibility criteria.
Inviting applications from banks for permission, the RBI said that it would apply the eligibility criteria liberally while considering these applications. This, it said, was being done to enhance competition in this sector. Currently, 17 banks are authorised as nominated agencies for import of gold.
Currently, to apply for authorisation as nominated agency for import of gold, the applicant entity should be a scheduled commercial bank with an unimpaired total capital of Rs 300 crore or more for its business in India. In case the capital for its business in India falls short of this, its global capital can be taken into consideration, provided it has sufficient experience and expertise in the area of gold internationally and is willing to submit a letter of undertaking from its head office to the effect that it would stand ready to provide support and assistance to its gold operation in India.
The bank's ratio of total capital to risk-weighted assets for business in India should be 9 per cent or more as per the latest balance sheet. It should have fairly advanced risk-management system in place to be able to identify various risks involved in the supply of gold.

Bee keeping has become a hot topic in South Bend. The Common Council is considering an ordinance that would make urban bee keeping easier.
The new proposal would allow people to have bee colonies on lots smaller than one-fourth of an acre.
To help people understand the ordinance and bees themselves, Unity Gardens has been hosting bee workshops. The group has been working with Commissioners and the public to help them understand why bees are so important.
Mitchel Yaciw, manager of Unity Gardens said bees are helpful for everyone.
"To me there's several things. One, pollination. We're gardeners to bees increase pollination in gardens. We have this whole global colony collapsing going on while we're losing bees and urban bees seem to do better."
The South Bend Common Council will be discussing the urban bee keeping ordinance again on June 24th.

But thank God! Matt Cooke has finally been suspended. How many times does a jackass have to complete an illegal check before they get the boot from the ice.
Here's the report from ESPN.
Matt Cooke is the biggest cheap shot artist and dirt/scum/anything else you can think of-bag in the NHL. Can't stand the bastard....can you tell? I wouldn't want him on my team, even if it guaranteed a Stanley Cup win. I'd rather have to work for the championship.

LONG LIVE THE KING: Last year, Vanity Fair called Rupert Murdoch "King of All Media," and with his unsolicited bid for Dow Jones & Co. Tuesday, he showed no signs of being dethroned. News Corp. revealed its interest in acquiring Dow Jones for $60 per share for all outstanding shares, which equates to approximately $5 billion. In a statement, Dow Jones said its board and trustees of the Bancroft family were evaluating the proposal. However, a Bancroft family representative later said there were enough shares against the proposal to stop the takeover.
Depending on what happens next, the bid could open up the floodgates for other big-money players, namely private equity. And Bloomberg was briefly mentioned as a counter bidder, although the company swiftly squashed such speculation. CNBC's initial report Tuesday sparked a busy day of trading in Dow Jones stock, which traded up 55 percent. But having control over Dow Jones, which includes the Wall Street Journal, could come in handy when Murdoch launches his new business channel later this year — a media outlet he has called more "business friendly" than rival CNBC.
Murdoch is certainly known to like powerful platforms, as evidenced by his willingness to absorb years of losses at the New York Post. The Journal would no doubt bring out his more serious side (don't expect a Page Six of the business world), although the newspaper in recent years has been expanding its softer features and coverage of the fashion world — not to mention chasing down those much-needed ad dollars.
It's unclear whether Murdoch's bid raises antitrust concerns. A Justice Department spokeswoman declined to comment, but added that Murdoch and Dow Jones would be required to go through the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act process if the acquisition were completed. She added that the Justice Department had historically investigated mergers involving news organizations. — Amy Wicks

Ellison, Linden pace Giants' win
Pair drives in three apiece; Morris toils through 1 2/3 innings
Giants 12, Brewers 8
at Maryvale Baseball Park, Phoenix

Brewers on the mound: Ben Sheets, Milwaukee's likely Opening Day starter, allowed two runs on two hits and a walk in the first inning, but settled down in a six-pitch, 1-2-3 second inning. The Giants fought back to take the lead in the fourth inning against right-handed reliever Dennis Sarfate, who was tagged for three runs including the one that scored on Myers' walk.Cactus League records: Giants 2-1, Brewers 2-2 Up next: The Giants are on the road again Sunday for a game against the Mariners in Peoria, where lefty Noah Lowry will face Jeff Weaver.

Aussies triumph in thriller
Espinho, Portugal, June 4, 2004 - Australians Andrew Schacht and Josh Slack advanced to round two of the main draw at the 2004, Swatch - FIVB World Tour, Portugal Open in Espinho on Friday following a dramatic confrontation with Julius Brink and Ksell "Kelli" Schneider of Germany.
Having lost the first set by 24-26 to the Germans, Schacht-Slack recovered to take the second 21-18 before sweating it out in what seemed like a never ending third and final set that finished 20-18 in favour of the Australians.
"In the end there was hardly anything in it at all," Schacht admitted afterwards. "A couple of good defensive plays by us towards the closing stages frustrated them and they couldn't put the game away when they were up. They had a few match points that they couldn't capitalise on but having said that, I thought they played really well. We met them in China a little while ago and beat them in three sets so we know they're a good team and if you let them play they can cause you a lot of problems."
As for Slack, a recovery of mind after the opening exchanges was crucial to his team's victory. "I let some missed opportunities early on fluster me and my head was all over the place for a while," said the Adelaide star. "But in the third set when we had to play I was calm, talked a lot and set out plans that came off. I think the difference might have been that we were calmer than them at the end of the match," he added.
China Open winners, Javier Bosma and Pablo Herrera of Spain slumped to a 2-0 (21-17, 27-25) defeat to Russian 25th seeds Roman Arkaev and Dmitri Barsouk while there were no problems for World Champions Ricardo and Emanuel of Brazil in their first game of the tournament as they took 35 minutes to grab a 2-0 (21-13, 21-16) win against Portuguese players Pedro Azenha and Jose Teixeira.

The Atlanta Hawks have made a lot of changes lately by letting go of a lot of bench players, trading long time starters, and picking up new free agents. A team that had not made more than one change to the starting lineup in over 5 years has now completely mixed it up and fans are very happy too. But patience will be necessary with this team. Even tho they still have Teague, Smith, and Horford they have not made up for the talent that was let go.
Joe Johnson is now on the Nets. His talent will be missed, his contract will not be. Marvin Williams is on the Jazz. He was not a fan favorite after being drafted 4th overall in front of CP3 and Darron Williams, but he did average over 10 points per game and had a good amount of rebounds as a small forward. Fans are okay with these players being traded away, but the Hawks now lack the talent and the height. The lineup has always been a little short but now without the two huge wing players they are even shorter.
Joe Johnson is 6'7 and Marvin Williams is 6'8. Those were probably the two biggest wing players in the NBA and gave the Hawks many advantages, especially on defense. But those two players are gone, Hawks have still not replaced either starting position but we can assume the new players will not be as tall as they were, and the front court is still very short with Al Horford at 6'10 and Josh Smith at 6'9.
Right now I'm sure the small forward position will be filled by a free agent pickup, but the shooting guard position seems it may be filled by one of the very talented point guards who are all also not over 6'2. But it is one of the biggest questions for the Hawks right now and fans wait for the answer. Will it be the very smart and well known Devin Harris? Or could it be the player known for instant offense off the bench, Lou Williams? It could even be the lights out rookie that is actually a shooting guard, John Jenkins.
One thing we do know is no matter which way they go the Hawks will be one of the shortest teams in the NBA leaving them at a big disadvantage for the 2012-2013 season. Now nobody is expecting this team to win the finals this season while they are rebuilding, but many analysts still expect them to have a winning season and even make the playoffs. Others expect them to be in the lottery. It's amazing how people could have such different opinions about one team, but we will have a much better picture of where they stand once they have a 15 player roster. When will that be? Who knows... All we know right now is that Danny Ferry is changing things up and we like it.

It's been pretty hard lately to go into a thread around here without running into a hundred new comments of argumentative hogwash between two people that aren't seeing eye to eye. I'm not a big fan of reading arguments, so I'm kinda at the "I wanna talk with my internet pals, but I don't want to end up in an argument."
So anyway, I figured an off topic fanpost devoted to whatever the hell we wanna talk about.
And just as a clarification, I'm not calling anyone out who has called someone out. I understand that we are emotional fans here, but I feel like we could use a little vacation spot around the site for a bit. Talk video games, beer, and whatever else.
Rec the post to keep it at the top and such.

Stacie Levy | March 25, 2013 | Comments
The key to proving our value and receiving the desired verdict is in presenting the right mix of evidence.
I recently was summoned for jury duty and selected to be a juror on a three-day criminal trial. It was my first time being actually selected and my first real-world look into our justice system. As the U.S. court system is based on the premise, "Innocent until proven guilty," it's the prosecutor's job to provide evidence and convince the jury of any guilt.
In our world of technology and "Law and Order" episodes, we often think of evidence as hard or quantifiable stats, actual DNA, or the smoking gun with finger prints. But oftentimes, the smoking gun isn't always found and, even when part of the hard evidence is available, it may not be enough to convict. More evidence is ultimately needed.
During the trial, the prosecution presented numerous types of evidence and, in the end, all pieces supported the one outcome she hoped we'd come to - a guilty conviction. There were many testimonies, photos and drawings, walk-throughs of the timeline and order of events, video, and even an expert witness who was qualified to talk about typical patterns or trends with this case type.
The idea of evidence, as seen in our justice system, can also apply to our marketing automation practice. As we build out nurture streams to use in our campaigns, ultimately we're trying to convince a juror or jury of buyers to engage and buy from us. We should assume the premise, "No contract until offering is proven valuable."
So, under this premise, how do we do the convincing? How do we deliver the conviction, er, contract? With undisputable evidence, of course! Even if we don't realize it, we're most likely already using evidence within our marketing campaigns. The key to proving our value and receiving the desired verdict is in presenting the right mix of evidence.
Buying a product or service is oftentimes a balancing act of emotional and rational decision-making. Here are some of the questions buyers ask themselves:
To paint a full picture of our value, we need different types of evidence to appeal to the various decision criteria in the buying process. Focusing on nurture or drip campaigns, here is a list of some pieces of evidence that can help play to both the emotional and rational decision criteria and can easily work their way into an email.
Hopefully this list helps you get started in building out your evidence. In the end, there usually isn't one piece of evidence that can generate the verdict you want. It's about all of the pieces working together to tell a story and walking our prospects through the reasons to buy. Let's prove our case, er, value!

Dinosaurs are a diverse group of animals. They first appeared during the Triassic period, approximately 230 million years ago, and were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for 135 million years, from the beginning of the Jurassic (about 201 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (66 million years ago), when the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event led to the extinction of most dinosaur groups at the close of the Mesozoic Era. The fossil record indicates that birds evolved from theropod dinosaurs during the Jurassic Period and, consequently, they are considered a subgroup of dinosaurs by many paleontologists. Some birds survived the extinction event that occurred 66 million years ago, and their descendants continue the dinosaur lineage to the present day.
Archaeopteryx (ar-kee-OP-ter-iks) is considered by most to be a true flying dinosaur. It has feathers, and only birds have feathers; therefore, Archaeopteryx is usually considered a bird. (This argues for the evolution of birds from theropods.) Seven specimens showing the faint impression of feathers have been found. In one case (the Teyler specimen) the fossil was mis-identified in 1857, and the error was not corrected until 1970 when the feathers were first detected.
Plenty of robots can fly -- but none can fly like a real bird. That is, until Markus Fischer and his team at Festo built SmartBird, a large, lightweight robot, modeled on a seagull, that flies by flapping its wings. A soaring demo fresh from TEDGlobal 2011.
Renowned paleontologist Jack Horner has spent his career trying to reconstruct a dinosaur. He's found fossils with extraordinarily well-preserved blood vessels and soft tissues but never intact DNA. So, in a new approach, he's taking living descendants of the dinosaur (chickens) and genetically engineering them to reactivate ancestral traits — including teeth, tails, and even hands — to make a "Chickenosaurus".
Feathers are one of the epidermal growths that form the distinctive outer covering, orplumage, on birds and some non-avian theropoddinosaurs. They are considered the most complex integumentary structures found in vertebrates, and indeed a premier example of a complex evolutionary novelty.
Watch this video by the BBC about feathers and dinosaurs and the mystery that baffled many scientists.

According to Estadio Deportivo Newcastle are after Sevilla defender Juan Cala, and talks between the player and Sevilla for a new contract are at an impasse.
Juan Cala – Newcastle interested
The 24-year-old 6'2″ center-back becomes a free agent in the summer, and the club and player are unable to come to an agreement on a new contract, and Estadio Deportivo are reporting today that talks between the club and player have broken down.
The player has been at his home town club Sevilla since 2000, and has played for the Spanish U19 side once, so he is not a full Spanish International.
He has had loan spells at both Cartagena and at AEK Athens, and he has played 111 times for the Spanish club and scored eleven goals.
Cala has 19 appearances and one goal this season, but we wonder if the player is good enough for Newcastle?
We can only assume that Graham Carr has picked him out as a player who could do a job at Newcastle, who are always well aware of players contracts running out – so they can bring players in as free agents on Tyneside.
French club Toulouse and Belgian club Anderlecht are two other clubs said to be interested in signing the right-footed player.
What do you think?

Sports stars and hospital staff step out for Bournemouth's first March for Men
10:27am Thursday 6th March 2014 in News By Nicky Findley
SPORTS stars and hospital staff were among the 350 people who stepped out to show their support for men's health at a new fitness event on Sunday.
March for Men is open to men, women and children and involves a 1km, 5km, or 10km walk, run or march along Bournemouth seafront and Lower Gardens.
Team GB volleyball player Dan Hunter and sailing sisters Kate and Lucy Macgregor were some of the famous faces at the event, organised by the Bournemouth Hosp-ital Charity.
The charity's fundraising officer, Barry Wilson, said it was a phenomenal start for what will now be an annual event in the town.
"It really exceeded our expectations in terms of support, not just from the number of people who took part, but also the 50 volunteers who helped with the running of the event."
He added: "There are several local races that support women's health, but until now, men's health has been overlooked so we wanted to redress the balance."
Consultant urologist Josh Phillips said: "Men's health is an important issue in the community and one that sometimes is overlooked. Here at the Trust we see and treat over 15,000 men each year for a number of conditions including prostate and testicular cancer.
"March for Men is a chance for the community to get together and walk the walk for men across Dorset."

The Los Angeles Kings may be considered underdogs against the St. Louis Blues because of their lower seed, but there's no reason to believe this won't be a great series from start to finish. In addition to the fact that the Kings more than proved themselves as playoff contenders with their win over the Vancouver Canucks, they got the better of St. Louis in the regular season, winning three of the four games between the two teams.
This series should be defined by the battle between two of the NHL's hottest goalies. Because of an injury to Jaroslav Halak, Brian Elliott has taken over as the No. 1 goalie in St. Louis. He was excellent in the regular season and carried his form into the Blues' first-round series against the San Jose Sharks. Opposite him will be Jonathan Quick, arguably the best player between the two teams in the Kings-Canucks series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The magic DEQ2496,
This review is from: Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Processor (Electronics)
After some research I purchased a Behringer DEQ2496 and calibration microphone from Amazon as a "last resort" attempt to solve a problem with my (expensive) hi-fi - a noticeable and distracting bass boom. Previously I had spent many months repositioning my speakers (PMC OB1i's), experimenting with different listening positions, and trying foam bass traps and lots of extra soft furnishings as it was obvious that the boom was a problem with my room acoustics, not the equipment.
The Behringer unit was connected between the digital output of my Cyrus CD player and DAC as it seemed to me that any additional analogue conversion in the signal path would be detrimental. As the CD player has 2 digital outputs I was able to easily compare results by switching inputs on the DAC.
To cut a very long and tedious story short what the DEQ2496 did for me was to identify and allow me to correct a very significant 80hz spike. Brilliant. The musical magic of my Cyrus/PMC system is now fully restored.
Advice for users who are trying to solve a similar problem to mine;
Take time and trouble to get to grips with how to operate this unit (it's not easy), experiment with different EQ/PEQ settings, and use the memory functions to store results so you can compare.
Whilst it's tempting to play around with equalisation over the full frequency range, the overall effect can destroy the sonic "signature" of the hi-fi system - so only use the DEQ2496 to target very specific bands.
Let your ears be the judge of how much correction to apply - in my experience much less than the RTA/Auto EQ functions would indicate.
If you have to boost any frequencies make sure you compensate by reducing the EQ gain setting in the Utility menu to avoid any clipping.
With patience, perseverance and a lot of critical listening I've solved my room acoustics problem and whilst the DEQ2496 might not be accepted by some as a true "audiophile" solution, I can wholeheartedly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars DEQ2496 Ultra Curve,
ChrisK "JonK" (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Processor (Electronics)
I bought the Ultra Curve to EQ my main PA using the 32 band graphic and the frequency analyzer. I don't use the other parts (feed back killer, parametric )
I have always built my own PA cabs and tried to balance the sound by ear. I have had to down size my system and I wasn't happy with the sound I only had a15 band graphic so I looked at other 32 band graphics and relised that to get a good sound by ear would be difficult.
Using the ECM8000 measurement mic and the frequency analyzer was easy and gave me the best sound I have had in the past 20 years. It's also good at EQing a room before a gig The pink noise that you have to put out last less than a minute.
I also use it to EQ the room and sound in my home studio just save the EQ to a memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great piece of equipment.,
This review is from: Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Processor (Electronics)
Purchased for use in small demo studio.
A few years ago Behringer used to be AKA for cheap and nasty but lots of "nice" flashing lights. Times have changed. Behringer's keen pricing has obviously let them achieve some volume and economies of scale despite the tough economy, which they've clearly ploughed back into R&D.
This unit is extremely easy to understand and configure. Feature packed, yet easy to navigate menus. I place the unit between desk and monitors using the digital s/p DIF. It is low noise and input/output levels are fully controlable and accurate. The RTA is great for analysing / autocorrecting the listening space and for tweaking different monitor sets, although budget about another 40GBP for the linear measurement mic (sold separately). (The mic is also amazingly linear considering it is around a tenth the price of competing products.)
Only minor complaint would be no soft(i.e. muted) shutdown/ startup, which leads to pops and cracks on power-up/down, so a little care is needed to protect amps/ speakers.
You can't complain at this price level. A really useful piece of equipment in a semi-pro set-up. Well done B!

5.0 out of 5 stars buy one!,
Dr. Michael J. Johnson - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Processor (Electronics)
I wanted this as a mastering tool for home recording projects, but also as an EQ for my system.
I use a pro amp driven by the preamp out (before the tone stack) of an old integrated.
Its a great amp, but has an overly strident midrange.
So, kill two birds with one stone - set up so that I can ensure recordings sound good after mixing (I have a CD recorder) in my usual listening space whose characteristics I am used to, and give me a really good EQ to tweak the sound of my old pro amp.
There is quite a steep learning curve with this unit.
I confess to not reading the instructions properly initially, to the detriment of my speakers.
Be careful that levels are properly set if you intend to use the auto EQ feature.
Pink noise kills tweeters stone dead.
Others have gone into more detail , but you have a choice of parametic or graphic EQ
There is a dynamic EQ so you can change the parameters with volume (say more bass at low volumes, lessening as the volume rises)
The stereo expander is a nice little touch as are the compression tools.
If you use a trs to RCA lead you can connect the aux out to a spare input on the hi fi and listen to what the optical digital out sounds like - usefull if you are mastering, as you can A-B between your project and a "target" recording whose sound you are aiming to emulate.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great bit of kit,
B. Johnson "BJ" (Bath, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behringer DEQ2496 Ultra Curve Processor (Electronics)
I use this to EQ my tops, but even when I attached it to my home speakers in my bedroom, the improvement after RTA was simply stunning. Every stereo should have one of these attached, purely for the RTA functionality. The extra features (like extra outs, stereo width (which allows mixing down to mono)) makes this a great purchase! :)
