By Joseph Sobin Approximately two weeks after the devastating 9/11 attack on New York City I was walking through Central Park.

RAM Talks Art: Free Teacher Open House at Riverfront Museum Park Oct. 15
By Stacey Sauer
Education Coordinator, Rockford Art Museum
The school year is well under way. Many teachers have spent their summer planning for the upcoming year, generating lesson ideas and embellishing their classrooms with decorations that are staples of any schoolroom (apples and pencils, anyone?). However, for many teachers and homeschool parents, finding the right activity to supplement their lessons can be difficult.
Have you considered how local cultural organizations can help? Local museums and cultural organizations are a fun and easy way to supplement your curriculum, whether through performances, field trips or outreach opportunities. Thursday, Oct. 15, stop by Riverfront Museum Park to visit the Teacher Open House and see what some local museums and organizations have to offer.
The free Teacher Open House is held every year at Riverfront Museum Park, and this year will have seven local museums and cultural organizations represented. This is a one-stop opportunity to explore all of the educational offerings that these organizations have to offer. With so many choices, you will be sure to find something to supplement your lesson plans.
Would you like your students to learn more about archaeology or natural science? Check out the Burpee Museum of Natural History, and learn about their fossil or archaeology tours and workshops. Ask them about their museum boxes as well (if you can't go to the museum, bring the museum to you!). Is science a large focus in your curriculum? Discovery Center Museum (DC) offers focused field trips and demonstrations that will hold your students' interest as they learn important science concepts.
Have you heard about Rockford's Ethnic Heritage Museum? Local history comes alive at this museum, which is housed in a home built in 1850. Here, you will be able to explore galleries devoted to the primary immigrant groups that settled in southwest Rockford. Let your students examine early maps of Rockford, everyday items, vintage clothing and more to help them learn about Old World traditions and customs.
Are you a teacher who is looking to increase the presence of art in your classroom? Stop by Rockford Art Museum's (RAM) table, and pick up some information about Art Reach. This outreach program—which began as the Junior League's Picture Lady program—offers 90 art portfolios in more than 30 different themes. You can check out up to three portfolios at a time, for up to three months each. Why not utilize this completely free resource to create a mini art gallery in your room?
Many teachers are limited to a handful of field trips each year. If you are looking to get more for your money, stop in and learn about collaborative field trip opportunities. These include Terrific Tuesdays and Fabulous Fine Arts Fridays. On a Terrific Tuesday field trip, your students will participate in themed classes presented by DC, RAM and Rockford Dance Company. This immersive and diverse educational experience will expressively engage students' bodies and minds in science and art. On a Fabulous Fine Arts Friday field trip, your students will work with RAM, Rockford Dance Company, and Rockford Symphony Orchestra to explore how these three disciplines are interrelated. This year's Fabulous Fine Arts Friday theme is Inspired Stories: Tales the Arts Tell, which will teach your students how the elements of art, music and dance all relate to skills needed in language.
The 2009 Teacher Open House will be held Oct. 15, from 4 to 7 p.m., at Riverfront Museum Park, 711 N. Main St., Rockford. Admission is free. Stop in and enjoy food and drink while you learn what your local cultural organizations have to offer. Stop in for a moment, or stay the whole time!
Contact Rockford Art Museum Education Coordinator Stacey Sauer at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Anime Music Videos ("AMV") are one of the many highlights of anime cons and FanimeCon is no exception! Our Fanime Music Videos ("FMVs") competition showcases the best videos each year from fans around the world (literally!). We've received and continue to receive entries from all over the country (regularly from Brazil, Scotland, Morocco, Hungary, and Korea among others).
The top entry in each category as voted by the audience and the judges will receive prizes. The two groups then choose a "Best-In-Show" each and those entries also receive prizes.
After the show, we'll also be holding an award ceremony where we'll highlight the best videos and deliver the prizes to the winners in attendance.
Dates and locations TBD. Any questions, email us at email@example.com

The Fanime Game Show is back for another season on Stage Zero on the main Concourse! We have returned for our 16th season, and are ready to give away lots of prizes.
We have lots of games ready to go, some of our favorite formats, and a few new entries. The different rounds span anime trivia, video games, and general knowledge. We have a few "secret" themed shows for those who know a lot about one particular series. Each game involves a different mix of strategy, knowledge, and luck. As long as you know things, you have a chance of winning it all.
As always, we choose our contestants right from the audience. Are you fast on the buzzer? Are you full of trivia knowledge? Do you like getting on stage? Are you willing to have a good time in front of an enthusiastic audience? Do you like winning things? Then stop by the Game Show and become a contestant.
We have lots of valuable prizes to give away. Plushies, box sets, figures, gift cards, and more! Every person that plays in our games will win something, and may walk away with something nice.
On top of that, the winner of each day will be able to play our new bonus round, and can win several hundred dollars in cash. Clear 21 questions in the time limit, and you can be one of the biggest winners in Fanime Game Show history.
If you are fast enough, know enough, and are lucky enough, you may wind up that much richer, just for answering questions!

FORT COLLINS - This fall, arborists completed the first phase of a project designed to create a statewide inventory of urban and community forests, and quantify the environmental benefits they provide.
The inventory will help urban and community foresters around the state address such concerns as emerald ash borer – an invasive insect pest first confirmed in Colorado last month and already responsible for the death or decline of tens of millions of ash trees in 21 states. One of the first steps in responding to emerald ash borer and other insect pests is identifying where host trees are located; this inventory is intended to fill in the existing gaps.
"Although this is only a random sampling of trees in Colorado communities, this project will complement existing tree inventory data and fill in the inventory gaps necessary for community foresters to make tree management decisions," said Vince Urbina, community forester for the Colorado State Forest Service.
Funded by a 2011 USDA Forest Service State and Private Forestry Grant and administered by the CSFS, the inventory project enlisted contractor Davey Resource Group to gather tree inventory data on 200 randomly selected, one-tenth acre plots. Sampling locations were located in communities along the I-76, I-70 and U.S. Highway 50 corridors in eastern Colorado. Arborists collected data on urban trees, including tree size, canopy density, number of trees by species, overall health, environmental benefits and crown condition. The data will be used to determine susceptibility to invasive pests. Analysis of the Phase I data should be complete by Dec. 1, and will be made available to Colorado's community foresters.
The second phase of Colorado's tree inventory project began this month, with 40 plots completed in Grand Junction and others started on the northern Front Range, but was halted due to advancing fall conditions and the loss of leaves on deciduous trees. That phase will resume in Front Range communities in early summer 2014.
The inventory project is the result of community forestry threats identified during development of the 2009 Colorado Forest Action Plan. The plan was produced by the CSFS to focus limited resources on forest management where it will achieve the greatest benefit.
More information about urban and community forestry issues is available at http://csfs.colostate.edu.

It looks like Asda's George line is anticipating another cold, wet summer: their spring/summer 2013 line includes lots of sweaters, a smattering of trench coats and a few pairs of boots. All of this is, of course, very suitable for British springtime, and while we're sure they'll have some more summery pieces available later in the year, even if they didn't, well, this lot will probably work just as well for our summer, too…

EURUSD Euro Crisis Jobless, Economy Worsen
EURUSD Euro Crisis Jobless, Economy Worsen
The European Union raised its unemployment forecast for the 17-nation euro zone economy next year to 12.2 percent from the previous 12.1 percent.
The European Commission had expected record euro zone jobless levels to fall next year but a weak recovery suggests overall numbers may yet cross the 20-million threshold.
The European Commission is forecasting that the recovery across the 28-country bloc will continue into the second half of the year, albeit at a tepid pace.
The executive arm of the European Union said in Brussels it expects the region's economy to grow by 0.5 percent over the second half of the year and be flat for the whole year. In its previous forecast in May, it predicted a 0.1 percent annual decline.
It also expects the 17-country euro zone to continue its recovery from recession in quarterly terms. However, over 2013 as a whole, the euro zone is still expected to have contracted 0.4 percent. In 2014 though, it is penciling in 1.1 percent growth.
The euro zone's unemployment is expected to remain at its record-high of 12.2 percent this year and next.
Spanish public finances are unlikely to reach EU norms by 2016, the European Commission said. Madrid's public deficit is forecast at 5.9 percent next year and will rise to 6.6 percent in 2015, the EC said.
After nine quarters in a row of recession and soaring unemployment, the commission said weak tax revenues will make public finances vulnerable in the absence of a major pick-up to put the economy back on track.
The number of people registered as unemployed in Spain increased by a little over 87,000 in October as many jobs created in the summer tourist season come to an end.
The Labor Ministry said the October figure took the total number unemployed to a rounded 4.8 million. In October, like September, unemployment usually increases as the tourism sector reduces headcount ahead of winter.
Spain's third-quarter unemployment rate of 26 percent _ the second highest in the 28-country European Union after Greece _ shows much more is needed for the economy to regain health.

FOXBOROUGH -- Randy Moss has had a lot of adjectives attached to his name over the years: selfish, petulant, mercurial, brilliant.
But at the dawn of his third season with the Patriots, he's picked up another description: mentor. In fact, the 32-year-old Moss has taken a proactive role as an advisor to new and veteran players who might be struggling to learn the New England system, as well as those teammates who want to know the trade secrets of the six-time Pro Bowler.
Last season, veteran Kevin Faulk spoke admiringly of the way Moss went through a tutorial on when to raise your hands before a catch: You don't want to put your hands up too early, lest you give away the location of the ball in the air to the defensive back who's keeping an eye on you.
And there were several times in training camp this past month where Moss could be seen working with other wide receivers. One particularly illuminating series came one afternoon when he, quarterback Tom Brady and fellow receivers Wes Welker and Joey Galloway were in one positional grouping, away from the 11-on-11 drills. As Galloway ran his routes, Moss served as a defensive back, guiding the newcomer as to where he needed to be and when.
"Randy, when he's out here, is one of the hardest working guys we have and he's so fun to have on the team," Brady said. "He's a great teammate and we have a great relationship."
Moss hasn't talked about his new role -- he hasn't spoken to the media since the start of camp -- but it wasn't a surprise to many who work with him on a daily basis.
"Randy's very good with younger players," said Patriots coach Bill Belichick. "He and Tom are always talking and the other receivers, Greg [Lewis] and Joey [Galloway] and Wes [Welker]. They talk a lot about different techniques and how a certain defender plays and how to play against him -- those types of things."
Moss' breadth of knowledge isn't limited to working with the receivers. According to Belichick, he's also been able to offer some guidance to New England's defensive backs as well. It's a character trait that has impressed teammates on both sides of the football.
"I think that was reflected last year when Randy was elected captain -- not because of his playing ability, but because of his leadership and the way he interacts with his teammates and the way he supports them," Belichick said. "Not just the receivers, but also the defenders."
The relationship between the defensive backs and wide receivers can be complicated. Going up against each other every day in practice can foster a competitive environment, one that could occasionally spark some resentment between the two camps.
But Belichick said Moss' contributions have added to the "healthy relationship" between New England's defensive backs and wide receivers.
"They have a good working relationship with each other: 'This is what I'm trying to do to you,' and, 'This is how I'm trying to defeat it,'" Belichick said. "When a receiver tells our defensive back, 'Hey, this is what you're doing that's giving me trouble or what you're doing is making it easy for me,' and the player can improve on the other side of the ball, then ultimately it improves him. So, it's a healthy relationship, and it's one we try to encourage.
"And I think we get a lot out of it. The players are good about it. They're good about helping the younger players, and they're also good about working with each other on different strengths and weaknesses and techniques that can be beneficial to our team."

Common Core moves continue in Manchester, Nashua
The Manchester Board of School Committee voted nearly unanimously Wednesday to develop "Manchester Academic Standards" that would make us of the Common Core State Standards, but only as a foundation for a district-wide overhaul of the curriculum, which would draw from multiple sources.
The Manchester district was poised to move forward with curriculum guides developed over the summer to align its curriculum with Common Core. The district paid a Boston-based consulting company $84,000 to assist in the process.
Ben Dick, the president of the city teachers union, said the new proposal has "the potential to be something great."
Banfield of Cornerstone Action said that she and others would be watching closely to ensure that Manchester develops a genuine alternative to Common Core and not the same standards by another name.

Recipe by Chef John
"I've added pork to ground beef in chili before, but I've never tried it with all Italian sausage, and I loved the results. We Italian'd this up even more with cannellini beans and a touch of basil, but other than that, it's a fairly classic chili. Garnish with sour cream, avocado, red onion, and basil."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 tablespoons
ancho chile powder

2 (15 ounce) cans
cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

green bell pepper, diced
I am usually not a chili fan, but I like this chili. Way better than the usual ground beef ones.
We really liked this - it does have a bit of a kick but the sour cream and avocado garnish help to tame it. I made this with Johnsonville All Natural sausage. I didn't have tomato puree so I used a can of diced tomatoes in sauce which worked great.

To cut down on the prep time, I sautéed the peppers in EVOO until softened, then added a spoonful of minced garlic to the peppers and cooked for an additional minute or so, & finally added the veggies to the sausage mixture. I let it cook for 15 mins instead of 30. No salt needed. This dish is really amazing the next day. WOW!
I was surprised to see Italian sausage instead of the traditional meat found in chili however this was a great mix of flavors and a hit at my house. Another winner by Chef John. I am becoming a huge fan of his recipes. Thanks much!!!!

No current Talk conversations about this book.
My husband rates Sorcery & Cecelia a ten. He found it a quick, fun and entertaining read. I had a harder time getting into the book. Even after the plot took off with one of the character's disppearance I still found my attention wandering. It was until the last 80 or so pages that it completely engrossed me.
Ever since the publication of Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, Regency and Victorian fantasies have become all the rage. I'm a great fan of Regency and Victorian literature, as well as of fantasy novels, so I've been excited to dip into these novels myself every now and then. I found Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell completely beguiling. Loved the writing of The Night Circus but had no patience with the central love story. Sorcery and Cecelia I had no patience with, period.
Of course Strange & Norrell didn't create a subgenre but merely popularized it, and apparently Sorcery and Cecilia was written before the demand for alternate histories swelled so. I have to give Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer credit for that, since I won't be giving them credit for much else.
The authors dedicate the book to four authors they cite as inspirations: Jane Austen, Georgette Heyer, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Ellen Kushner. I've not read any Kushner, but I don't see anything that even remotely recalls Austen or Tolkien in this book. Heyer, a little, but even billing Sorcery as Cecilia as "Heyer! with Magick!" would be overselling it. Heyer at her best is laugh-out-loud funny, creates unique, interesting, and distinguishable characters, and is capable of real feeling.
Wrede and Stevermer started Sorcery and Cecilia as a letters game, and it should have stayed that way. The plot is a mere nothing. Again, that might have been fine if there was enough humor, romance, and charm to counteract its insubstantiality, but there isn't. It's odd that Wrede and Stevermer created Cecy and Kate independently, because they are practically indistinguishable, aside from one being clumsier than the other. Each has a villain particular to her plotline, who of course are in cahoots. Each of them has an uptight aunt, likewise indistinguishable, breathing down her neck, and each is romanced by a dark and sardonic Stock Regency Hunk. *yawn* Everyone in this novel is just so vanilla. Cecy and Kate are always making fun of their respective siblings, Oliver and Georgy, who are in love, but honestly they are the most interesting characters in the book, mostly because they have faults other than spilling coffee on gloves. I cared a whole lot more about Georgy's gambling addiction than any of the magical goings-on.
There were a few good scenes, such as when Cecy—or was it Kate?—first sees the Enchanted Chocolate Pot and is almost poisoned, but so much of the rest was just meh. A thoroughly forgettable romp. Actually, it didn't even have enough spirit to be called a romp.
Now I want to play the letters game with someone, just because I think it would be fun. But I doubt I'd ever dream of publishing the results. And I will certainly not be reading the other books in Wrede and Stevermer's series.
How fun! Delightful romp. Gail Garriger meets Georgette Heyer. Love the epistolary form which allows for greater, sharper wit since everything is told post-action with the benefit of insight. I wish I knew someone with whom I could play this game. The heroines are clever and quick to react and though the language is sometimes a little too modern to allow for any true suspension of disbelief as regards to the setting, the world is believable enough. Will definitely read the sequels.
I am constantly on the hunt for new and interesting books to engage my 10 year old, especially if they have nothing to do with Yu-gi-oh or Pokemon or Shonen Jump, Avatar, Goosebumps, Animorphs, Lemony Snicket or Naruto. This book is based on a game called the Letter Game, where two people take on different personas and write letters as that persona for a defined period of time. I don't think that
the authors intended to write a book, but found one at the end of their game. The authors (letter writers) write about cousins just after the Napoleanic wars in an England where
sorcery and magic are part of every day life. The story tells the trials and tribulations of two teenaged girls who are trying to save people they care about from death by magic. One is in London having her "coming out Season" while the other is left behind in the country. The book was a little hard to follow in the beginning, but I came to care about the characters and their adventures. The authors tidied up the ending very carefully and not-too quickly.
This story - told entirely in epistolary form consisting of the correspondence between two cousins, Kate (written by Caroline Stevermer) in London with Aunt Charlotte for her Season, and Cecilia (Patricia Wrede) left behind at home with Aunt Elizabeth in Rushton, Essex - tells their interrelated adventures in an alternative England where magic exists as an honourable profession (to the extent that Wizard Wellington uses it in the war).
There are nefarious doings afoot, revolving around an enchanted (of all things) chocolate pot. Kate meets the Mysterious Marquis of Schofield, who has never bothered to visit his country manor near Rushton, while Cecy helps untangle his affairs at the Essex end, no thanks to a certain Mr. Tarleton - who is quite hopeless at spying from the shrubbery.
The two cousins, with long experience of getting into and out of scrapes in their childhood with their siblings (vis à vis the episode with the goat), find themselves involved in more serious affairs. They conduct themselves with their customary sang froid (developed over years of explanations to their aunts) and adventuresome curiosity - not to mention collecting beaux and attending balls along the way - and rescue not only themselves but their friends; in spite of the gentlemen's well-intentioned efforts to protect them.
This was a delightfully lighthearted romp in an alternative Regency England. I've had this book on my TBR pile for a while, and I wish I had picked up The Grand Tour, so I could continue reading the cousins' adventures without having to wait.
I also like the afterword, in which the two authors (Patricia C. Wrede and Caroline Stevermer) take turns to tell us how the book came into being, as they wrote letters to each other in the personae of the two heroines, with no knowledge of the other writer's plot.
Absolutely fun!
Four and a half stars.

A great deal is happening in London and the country this season.
For starters, there's the witch who tried to poison Kate at the Royal College of Wizards. There's also the man who seems to be spying on Cecelia. (Though he's not doing a very good job of it--so just what are his intentions?) And then there's Oliver. Ever since he was turned into a tree, he hasn't bothered to tell anyone where he is.
Clearly, magic is a deadly and dangerous business. And the girls might be in fear for their lives . . . if only they weren't having so much fun!
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:42:00 -0400)
In 1817 in England, two young cousins, Cecilia living in the country and Kate in London, write letters to keep each other informed of their exploits, which take a sinister turn when they find themselves confronted by evil wizards.

SATURDAY, Oct. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Smoking takes at least 10 years off women's lives but they can significantly reduce that risk if they quit smoking early enough, a new study suggests.
Researchers looked at more than 1 million women in the United Kingdom who were recruited when they were aged 50 to 65 and followed for 12 years. Initially, 20 percent of the women were smokers, 28 percent ex-smokers, and 52 percent had never smoked.
Women who still smoked three years into the study were nearly three times more likely to die in the following nine years than nonsmokers. This threefold increased risk of death means that two-thirds of all deaths of female smokers in their 50s, 60s and 70s are caused by smoking, the researchers said.
The death risk among smokers increased sharply with the amount smoked, but even those who were light smokers (1 to 9 cigarettes a day) at the start of the study were twice as likely to die as nonsmokers, according to the report published online Oct. 27 in The Lancet.
The investigators also found that women who had stopped smoking before the age of 40 avoided more than 90 percent of the increased risk of dying associated with continuing to smoke, while those who quit before 30 avoided more than 97 percent of that increased risk.
"If women smoke like men, they die like men -- but, whether they are men or women, smokers who stop before reaching middle age will on average gain about an extra 10 years of life," study co-author Sir Richard Peto, of the University of Oxford in England, said in a journal news release.
The authors of a commentary accompanying the study agreed that the findings are "simple and unequivocal."
"That we had to wait until the 21st century to observe the full consequences in women of a habit that was already widespread in the mid-20th century, when tobacco smoking pervaded much of the developed world, might seem paradoxical," wrote Rachel Hux

There has been much recent interest in how features of residential environments (the built environment as well as social features of neighborhoods) affect the prevalence and development of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, including obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Identifying modifiable features of neighborhoods that contribute to cardiovascular risk would have important implications for the development of interventions and strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease and reduce social inequalities and race/ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk. Although randomized trials and/or evaluation of quasi experiments or natural experiments will ultimately be needed to determine the effectiveness of specific neighborhood-level interventions, rigorous observational work is still needed to determine what the most promising areas for intervention may be. However, very few observational studies have the type of detailed neighborhood and individual-level data necessary for this work. This competing renewal application builds on prior work conducted under R01 HL071759. As part of the prior project cycle we created a unique and rich dataset with a multiplicity of rigorous objective and survey-based measures of residential environments linked to the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a state-of-the art, longitudinal, population-based, multi-site and multi-ethnic epidemiologic study of cardiovascular disease. In this renewal we propose to enhance and update the neighborhood-level environmental measures to allow for methodologically rigorous longitudinal analyses that build on key findings of cross-sectional analyses conducted as part of the prior cycle. The Specific Aims of the project are: (1) To examine associations of specific neighborhood characteristics (including measures of access to healthy foods, walkability and urban design, access to recreational resources, and neighborhood stressors) with changes in diet, physical activity, and body weight over time; (2) To examine associations of neighborhood characteristics with incident diabetes and hypertension as well as with changes over time in continuous measures of insulin resistance and blood pressure (3) To examine associations of neighborhood characteristics with incident fatal and non fatal cardiovascular events; and (4)To investigate the contribution of neighborhood environments to race/ethnic and socioeconomic differences in longitudinal changes in risk factors and incident disease. In addition, the creation and maintenance of a rich data set on environmental features for MESA participants over time will generate a unique resource to be used in gene-environment interaction studies as MESA genotyping proceeds. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: If features of neighborhoods are shown to be important in the development of cardiovascular disease and its risk factors, strategies to prevent cardiovascular disease may need to focus on environments as well as individuals. Identifying the specific neighborhood features that are most important is key to the development and future testing of these interventions.
