In the coming year the Spanish Family-to-Family Education Program will take a giant step forward in reaching Spanish-speaking families. Pictured above are the new teachers recently trained in El Paso, Texas, who will offer free Family-to-Family classes in El Paso and in Juarez, Mexico. These NAMI volunteers were trained by Texas State Trainers Lupe Morin and Aurora Attel.
On another front, the Family-to-Family program is being inaugurated by NAMI Puerto Rico. Organized and promoted by Silvia Arias, NAMI board member and NAMI Puerto Rico executive director, a training was held in March for 18 new teachers eager to expand the program throughout Puerto Rico. This group was trained by NAMI's national Spanish trainer Norma Garcia Bangs. The first classes will begin in San Juan and Dorado.in early April.
In Monterey, Mexico, classes for Spanish speaking family members continue to expand under the direction of Hugo Garza, founder of the advocacy organization Ingenium. Another branch of this organization is offering Family-to-Family classes in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
In May, NAMI will host the first national Spanish Family-to-Family Training of Trainers session, taught entirely in Spanish to Spanish-speaking teachers who have been selected to be state trainers. Fourteen Family-to-Family Spanish teachers from California, Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Mexico will gather in St. Louis for a 3-day training session conducted by Norma Garcia Bangs. Gaining Spanish state trainers will mean that more teachers in these states can be trained in Spanish, and can in turn offer more Spanish classes in their communities.
We are looking forward to the day when all NAMI states with large Spanish populations will have Family-to-Family state teacher trainings and classes in Spanish, and we are very excited about the growth of the program in Mexico and Puerto Rico.

People who think Victory Rush is overpowered are probably those who have not played many other classes other than Warriors.
After leveling both a Rogue and Druid recently, I can say that Victory Rush is in no way overpowered.
Mutilate Rogues have 100% uptime Recuperate, which is 2% health every 3 seconds, Combat Rogues have 4% health every 3 seconds from Recuperate but don't get it refreshed for free like Mutilate Rogues.
Cat Druids get 4% maximum health proc heals on every Crit from Leader of the Pack with ~30+% crit rates in addition to 100% chance to proc free instant Healing Touches (which is around ~60-70% of their health pool) every 5 CP finisher (less for less CP)--both of which the mechanics are available mid-fight and not afterward. They also gain mana from Leader of the Pack which can be used on instant HoTs.
Victory Rush is quite nice, but no more powerful and probably weaker than many other self-healing mechanics out there. Most classes got things that reduce downtime between pulls while soloing, and Victory Rush is that for Warriors.
Cat Druids, for instance, can solo basically any elite or 2-3 man quest with 5 CP Healing Touch + Rejuv combos between DoT refreshes (Rake -> Mangle -> Mangle -> Rip -> HT -> Rejuv -> Mangle -> Rake -> Mange -> Rip -> HT -> Rejuv -> etc...) which Warriors have a hard time doing unless they go Prot and use cooldowns.

2007 Chicago Auto Show: BMW Alpina B7 - An M7 in all but name
by Frank Filipponio (RSS feed) on Feb 7th, 2007 at 5:32PM
They finally brought it out, so we covered it. Actually, we shouldn't sound so aloof. After announcing the BMW Alpina B7 way back in February of 2006, the Bavarians finally decided to show us the production version here in Chicago. And although it wasn't much of a revelation, it WAS a rather impressive vehicle in person. As we just told you last week, it's basically an M7 in all but name. The slightly streamlined 7-series adds the not-so-subtle Alpina classic rims (all 21 inches of them), a revised dash with a unique cluster, and the signature Alpina front and rear aero aids. Oh, and that... Read More

Putin's War
In 1997 I published an article in these pages1 in which I tried to draw some conclusions about the Chechen war of 1994-1996. In Moscow, the presidents of Russia and Chechnya had just signed a pact that rejected the use or threat of force and postponed a final resolution of Chechen-Russian relations until the year 2001. It seemed to me that the war was finally over and that the time had come to sum up recent events.
I was cruelly mistaken. However, at the time no one in his worst nightmare could have dreamed that there would be politicians in Russia who, being of sound mind and memory, would resume the Chechen war on an even greater scale than before. It was even more difficult to imagine not only that the war itself would be supported by the Russian public, but that it would result in unprecedented political dividends for the Russian leaders who presided over it, particularly Vladimir Putin, who owes his accession to the presidency largely to his backing of the war.
For American readers to fully understand how unthinkable a metamorphosis has taken place, let them imagine for a moment that in, say, 1978, the president of the United States resumed the war in Vietnam. And furthermore that this action was applauded by all Americans—from miners and farmers to university professors and students. Inconceivable? Of course it's inconceivable. Nonetheless, this is precisely what has happened in Russia today.
First, I must make it clear that a huge share of the guilt for what has happened lies with the Chechen people and its leaders.
In the first months after the military action ended in 1996, it seemed that there was an opportunity to establish a democratic regime in postwar Chechnya, one that would act according to the rule of law. If that had happened it would not, in my view, have mattered whether Chechnya remained part of the Russian Federation or not. In January 1997, Aslan Maskhadov was elected president of Chechnya. Maskhadov was a moderate and responsible leader, a man who definitely preferred a secular model of development to an "Islamic state."
Of course, there were serious concerns about Chechen behavior at that time. The extortion and violence against the remaining local Russian-speaking population, including kidnappings for ransom or enslavement, not only did not cease with the end of the war but increased many times over. And the new Chechen authorities made absolutely no attempt to stop this criminal activity, although in a country as tiny as Chechnya, with a population of fewer than one million people, everyone knew perfectly well which of Maskhadov's former associates were making money on the slave trade, where the captives were held, how the ransom was extorted, and so forth. Yet after every reported kidnapping of a well-known victim, the president of Chechnya made public statements in which he explained events, in vague and extremely unconvincing terms, as "provocations by the Russian secret service." There were hardly any attempts to rescue prisoners. There were no attempts to track down or to punish the organizers of these crimes.
The kidnapping of numerous journalists was particularly repugnant. These were people who for two years, at serious risk to their lives, had told Russia and the world the truth about the last war. Chechens were as indebted to them for the peace as they were to the military victories of the Chechen militia.
The result was not long in making itself felt: correspondents stopped traveling to Chechnya, and a completely new, diametrically opposed attitude toward the republic formed among Russian journalists. It is hard for me to reproach the journalists for hostility toward Chechnya.
Furthermore, the norms of Islamic law were introduced in Chechnya in a particularly harsh form, including corporal punishment, the amputation of limbs, and public executions broadcast on local television. All of this forced people friendly to Chechnya to doubt the sincerity of Maskhadov's intentions to defend the secular nature of the state—intentions that he never stated publicly, by the way—or, at the very least, to doubt his resolve.
Unfortunately, the fears that I expressed about Chechnya's future in my 1997 article turned out to be well founded. During the last three years, the president and government of Chechnya have not been willing to risk taking decisive measures to bring order to the republic. Their reasons are obvious—they were afraid that the first firm step they took would lead to an uprising and civil war. But Maskhadov's timidity led to the worst possible outcome: almost complete loss of control over the country and the transfer of real power into the hands of the so-called "field commanders," among whom are such people as the slave traders Arbi Barayev and Ruslan Khaikhoroyev, the terrorists Salman Raduyev and Shamil Basayev, and the Jordanian Islamic fanatic Khattab, who many assert is an ally of Osama bin Laden. The last vestiges of the system of state authority disappeared in the confrontation between the government and the field commanders.
In other words, the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria never actually came into existence—even as an "Islamic republic." Instead, a black hole was formed on the world map out of which bearded people driving Kamaz trucks and carrying Kalashnikovs descended from time to time on the neighboring regions of Russia. Sometimes they would seize livestock and disappear with them, sometimes people. No one knows with any accuracy what actually happened within the territory of Chechnya itself.
What we do know is that Basayev and Khattab mounted in August a "liberation crusade" into neighboring Dagestan. Apparently, they and the other commanders of the Chechen units that invaded Dagestan saw themselves as "internationalist warriors for Allah," Islamic Che Guevaras, one might say. They were certain that fellow believers on the other side of the border would greet them with open arms. They were mistaken: the Dagestanis met them with weapons. Even some Chechens—both in Dagestan and, it is said, in the border regions of Chechnya itself—attempted to stop the insane raid. They understood what the consequences would be. "You will pass only over our dead bodies," they are said to have told Basayev's and Khattab's people. "No problem," replied "Allah's warriors." So the informal Chechen rural patrols in the border regions let them through.
I have no right to judge peaceful peasants who yielded to heavily armed Islamic thugs. But had they known all the consequences of the Dagestan venture, many of them would, I believe, have preferred to risk death rather than let the Islamists cross the border. And if President Maskhadov could have foreseen all the consequences (and it was his job to do so), he would have done everything he could to prevent an incursion into Russia from the territory of Chechnya, even at the risk of civil war.
In Dagestan, for the first time since the end of World War II, the Russian army carried out a genuine mission of liberation. It protected the inhabitants of Dagestan from outside attack. The army did its work badly: it suffered losses from its own artillery fire and its own air strikes. For weeks it could not take several small mountain villages that had been captured by Basayev and Khattab; and it failed to warn the peaceful populations of these villages about its impending use of artillery and bombing. The Russian troops engaged in pillaging and violence against people in the liberated areas, although, in comparison with the previous war, their behavior was fairly moderate. In the end, however, the army fulfilled its mission. Some of the Islamist invaders were dispersed; others were forced back into Chechnya.
Apparently, at this point a monstrous idea was born in the heads of the army generals and Moscow politicians: to use the momentum of the Dagestan victory to unleash a new war with Chechnya.
It is easy to understand what the generals wanted. They wanted revenge for their shameful defeat in the previous war. The motives of the politicians are far more complex. I recently tried to describe some of them in the Berlin paper Die Welt:
For reactionary Russian politicians the resumption of the war is also a form of revenge, revenge against the "vile liberals" and the "irresponsible loudmouths" who in 1994-96 roused public opinion against the bloody demonstration of Russian state power.
But I am afraid that this interpretation was far too simplistic. I underestimated the level of cynicism pervading contemporary Russian political life. Of course, the "reactionary Russian politicians"—supporters of nationalist-patriotic groups and various factions of the Communist Party—would have been happy to dispose of the "vile liberals" as well as the decrepit Kremlin tsar, who authorized the cease-fire agreement at the town of Khasavyurt on August 31, 1996, and signed the pact in Moscow in May 1997. But they didn't get the chance to do this.
The new Chechen war was used as political ammunition by other people, above all by Vladimir Putin, and others close to the Kremlin. At the very height of the military action in Dagestan last summer, Yeltsin fired Prime Minister Stepashin and replaced him with Putin. Moreover, the President publicly named Putin his "heir for the year 2000"—an announcement which at the time provoked only laughter. And indeed, it seemed ridiculous. First, how was it possible that the current president could "appoint" the future president—are we living in Haiti or some such place?
Second: Putin, a man with a professionally nondescript face, previously the director of the FSB (the KGB's successor organization), was virtually unknown to the public at large. It seemed that he had absolutely no chance of winning in a campaign against such experienced politicians as Evgeny Primakov, the former prime minister, Yury Luzhkov, the mayor of Moscow, or Gennady Zyuganov, the leader of the Russian Communist Party. Third: after the financial crisis of August 1998, Yeltsin's own reputation was such that his public support of any candidate seemed to mean disaster for the person he backed.
Putin, however, was not fazed. Without missing a beat, he confirmed that he did indeed intend to run for president, but that at the moment the most important thing was the war in Dagestan. This impressed the public—and, in fact, seemed a correct judgment: Could there be anything more important for the government than military action on its own territory?
After the Chechen forces left Dagestan and returned to Chechnya in August, Putin announced that the current state of affairs in Chechnya could no longer be tolerated—which was true. The government could not stop now, he said; it had to strike at the Chechens' bases, "even," he said, "if they are on the territory of Chechnya." (This logic is understandable, too—but leaves unmentioned a basic problem: How do you distinguish a "terrorist base" from a normal Chechen village?)
Putin began to send troops to the borders of the Chechen Republic. Many people took his words and actions as merely a demonstration of military power for the benefit of Maskhadov and the other official Chechen leaders, a move meant to force them to turn, at last, from mere verbal condemnation of the Islamic extremists to active measures against them. For attentive observers, however, his motives were obvious: the new prime minister had no intention of limiting himself to threats. He never even tried to initiate contacts with the legitimate government of Chechnya. He didn't consider it necessary to present Maskhadov with an ultimatum. He wanted war, and it was clear why he wanted it.

Curriculum & Resources: Sleep Lessons and Bees
Resources from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Pollinator Partnership will grab your students' attention—and appreciation—for the key role that sleep and bees play in our quality of life.
NIH Sleep Lessons
VISIT WEBSITE: http://science-education.nih.gov
We spend about one-third of our life sleeping. Science—and our bodies—tell us that sleep greatly influences our decision-making, livelihood, and survival. There are few text books for educators and students that address the science of sleep, which is why the National Institutes of Health (NIH) created its website and lesson plans for high school students.
The NIH website helps your students explore sleep, sleep disorders, and biological rhythms with credibility—connecting scientific research and personal data. Your students will make sense of sleep concepts using data from their personal sleep journals coupled with lesson plans, such as "What is Sleep?" and "Evaluating Sleep Disorders." Free, downloadable lesson plans are available from the NIH website. Print lessons can be ordered, too.
This should convince you and your students that eight hours of sleep not only feels heavenly—it's one of the best things you can do for your mind and body. Below are some sample lessons:
Before getting started on the NIH lessons, students collect data on their own sleep habits, then analyze their data in subsequent lessons. For those with Internet access, students can compare their cycles with those of other students around the country.
Click here for the Student Sleep Journal.
Lesson: What is Sleep?
In this lesson, students will express what they know about sleep, and by the end of the lesson they will understand that sleep is an essential, biologically motivated behavior. Students will also be more aware of their own sleep/awake cycles and be able to test their personal sleep data with sleep hypothesis and misconceptions. Be sure to consult the teacher's guide document, "Information About Sleep."Click here for the sleep lesson.
Lesson: Exploring Good and Bad Sleeping Habits
In this lesson, students begin by identifying both good and bad sleep habits—and their benefits and consequences. Then, they participate in a role-playing scenario that will hit close to home: sleepiness and driving.Click here for the good and bad sleep habits lesson.

Tomato Cages, Set of 4
Customers Also Bought
Super-Sturdy Tomato Cages Support Heavy Yields
- Extra-strong tomato cages keep tomato plants upright for a bigger, cleaner harvest
- Big, 8" square openings make harvesting easy
- Hinged panels fold flat for compact storage
Longtime customer favorites, our heavy-duty, galvanized steel tomato cages are taller, wider and stronger than old-fashioned cone-shaped supports. And unlike flimsier versions, these are strong enough to support full-grown vines loaded with tomatoes. The tomato cages support plants on all sides (no tying needed) and keep plants up off the ground for better air circulation, cleaner fruit and fewer diseases. Large openings make harvesting easy, and the cages fold flat for off-season storage. In windy locations, we recommend anchoring with our Extra-Tall Earth Staples, sold separately.
- Steel Gray is galvanized steel; Red and Green are powder-coated steel
- 14-3/8" square x 39" H including 7" legs; 32" H installed
- 8" square openings
- 10 gauge wire
- Cages fold for easy off-season storage

I bought a set of these cages last year and loved them. I bought another set this year, and next year I'll buy another set until I have enough for my entire garden. Easy to use, easy to store away. Never have to stake and tie up another plant.
During the winter, when I don't have a garden, I use them around some of my smaller plants that need to be covered during a freeze. I can cover the cage with a blanket, garbage bag, etc.
Best Uses
For tomatoes and tomatillos and good for spreading branches but not adjustable in height
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Hold Up Tall Full Bushes
- Leave More Stepping Place
- Separate Plants
- One Cage Did Slant
- Someone Else Put Them In
Best Uses
- Good In Small Garden
- Tomatoes Stay Higher
These cages are definitely stronger than the cheap ones that are available. They will definitely last longer, so they are a good value. The cheap ones may only last a year and get so out of shape and let the plants fall over. My garden is small and I have to put my plants closer together, so each plant is more upright and defined.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Already assembled
- No tangles
- Pretty color
Best Uses
- Other Large Flowers
- Tomatoes
These look great in my tomato garden (red against the green leaves)and they're easy to install no tangling when trying to put them together
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Stackable
- Store Easily Flat
- Sturdy
- Could be taller
Best Uses
These are great tomato cages. I also use them for my green peas and as support cages for my bell peppers. They could be a little taller so that I wouldn't have to stack them three high for the tomatoes. I purchased my first cages from Gardners supply over 10 years ago and am still using those cages. Had to buy more since I expanded my garden space.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy to store
- Easy to use
- Effective
- Lightweight
- Expensive
- Lightweight
Best Uses
- Peas
- Tomatoes
Bought these on sale at the end of last season. Installed them at the appropriate time (rather than trying to rescue weighted down vines!) and everything grew right into them. They are lightweight, I hope they will clean off & store for several years to get my money's worth out of them. So far I'm very pleased with this purchase.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Easy to put together
- They work great
- none
Best Uses
My tomatoes are growing great and contained in their spaces.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Great Value
- Sturdy
Best Uses
I have very large tomato plants and these cages hold my plants up and I don't have to worry about them being knocked over. They are easy to push in the ground and are very sturdy.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Foldable
- Looks great
- Perfect height
- Well constructed
Best Uses
- Bush Beans
- Tomatoes
Never use stakes/poles again.
Easy to fold/unfold
Myriad of uses in garden, tomatoes primarily for me, would also work for bush type
Stacks easily for storage
Plus they look good in the garden
- Was this a gift?:
- No
Best Uses
My tomato plants were already a few feet tall so putting these cages around them was easy and didn't break any branches. The plants have more room to breathe in these cages than the traitional round supports you can buy everywhere.

Nearly every little girl and a small percentage of boys that ever took tap or ballet in Grand Junction were given those lessons by Jeanne Harper. The Jeanne Harper Studio of the Dance turned out some pretty fabulous little toe dancers and I was not one of them.
My parents squeezed out some money to enroll me in dance lessons with Bobbie Fifield when I was in first grade. It wasn't talked about so much in my family because it was pretty much a fiasco, for me, anyway. I'm sure the reason I was given these classes was number one, my sister, Becky, took classes and was actually quite accomplished, and number two, maybe they thought they would "take" and I'd gain a little coordination. Number three, my mother, Ruby, was a professional sewer and more than likely relished the idea of making a costume.
I was painfully shy and at the end of our Can-Can number, the line of dancers had to turn their rear end to the audience and flip up their skirts. I did not attend the recital. I've always told the story that I didn't tell my folks when it was exactly or I ran away from home. I know the Can-Can skirt got sewn because my mom made a miniature version for my Barbie Doll which I still have. My costume was probably remade into a costume for our poodle dog, Lisa, to wear in a downtown parade with my brother.
Several of my girlfriends took lessons from Jeanne Harper. Patty Cowan Costello gracefully danced all her life and Jaymie Fortune Popish was another accomplished student that went on to teach dance. Dance developed in them what Jeanne Harper herself said: It teaches "personality and poise and it gives them so much confidence." I think I fell through the cracks with my lack of willingness to perform.
I doubt that most of Jeanne's students or their parents knew her past. She was born Ida Jeanne Harper in 1899 in Oklahoma City, Okla., and grew up in Las Vegas, N.M., graduating from high school in 1918. She and her sister, Maurine, attended the New Mexico Normal University in her hometown and were absolutely involved in the arts, teaching in the community and performing for service clubs and banquets.
From there Miss Harper enrolled in the Horner Conservatory in Kansas City, Mo., to study piano and voice. Between semesters she traveled with various Chautauqua groups, which back then were a little educational and a little vaudeville. "Babe" as she was called on the circuit, toured with the group to 800 towns and 33 states. She traveled throughout Colorado and that may have been why she settled in our beautiful little town.
After her storied five-year career on the road, she moved to Los Angeles to study with dance icons Ruth St. Denis and Ted Shawn at the Denishawn School of Dance. This was her first concentrated lessons in dance. It took her a long way.
By now, it is the Roaring '20s and Ida Jeanne "Babe" Harper decides to change her course and travel to New York to pursue her dream of becoming an opera singer. She studied for one term at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester. While there, she was a singing showgirl in an operetta titled "The Darling Duchess." She admitted it was a flop, having closed after only a five-week run in Boston. While there, her roommate was in a show across the street with Al Jolson who she said took so many encores that the cast would have their costumes and makeup off and be waiting outside the stage door before the applause died down and he came out in his derby hat, swinging his cane.
By the late 1920s, Babe was still touring in the summers and teaching dance in her hometown of Las Vegas, N.M. She managed to travel to Chicago, New York and back to California to continue her education.
In the 1930s, Jeanne made her way to Grand Junction. She began teaching dance while living at the La Court Hotel. Her studio was located in a variety of locations and in no particular order, the Labor Temple, The American Legion Hall, the Dean Studio Building and 518 Main St. on the second floor. She offered classes in toe, tap, ballet and acrobatic dancing. She held recitals at the Avalon Theatre, Mesa Theater, Palisade High School, and eventually, the new Grand Junction High School. She continued to entertain in her own groups across the Western Slope, reviving many of her former Chautauqua routines.
Somewhere along the way, Jeanne Harper met Kenneth B. McQuaid, a man her same age and a veteran of World War II. They may have been school chums in New Mexico. They were married on Christmas Eve of 1942 in Lawton, Okla., soon after McQuaid had rejoined the Army. On the road again, Jeanne Harper McQuaid moved to Alhambra, Calif., for three years while her husband was enlisted.
Returning to Colorado, they settled in Alamosa. It wasn't until 1949 that she returned to teaching permanently in Grand Junction, as a commuter. She would teach a class Monday in Alamosa then hop on the bus and return to the Harper Studio of the Dance. In the early '50s she broke ground on the little cinder block building at 827 Rood Ave. It is still there. In 1972 Mr. McQuaid joined Jeanne in Grand Junction. At one time there was an apartment in the back of the Rood Avenue studio where Jeanne would reside. The couple eventually moved to an apartment at 1302 Glenwood Ave.
Ida Jeanne "Babe" Harper McQuaid passed in 1996, just three years short of living a century. Over the course of those years she taught countless children grace, poise and confidence. I hope to hear from some of those students and be able to tell their stories and share their recital photos.
Watch for part two in the coming weeks.

The Washable Squashable Highchair
Order in the next 23 hours 37 minutes and select next working day for delivery to mainland UK on Tuesday
The only adaptable fabric highchair that is practical, adaptable, washable, squashable, affordable, loveable, funky & fun!
The Totseat travel highchair is your perfect out-and-about companion. It converts dining chairs, of all shapes and sizes, into a high chair, squashes into its own tiny travel pouch, and is completely machine washable.
The Totseat travel highchair is the most versatile on the market, converting high-backed, low-backed, knobbly, open-backed or rounded chairs into a safe haven for your little one. It's really easy to use, simply slip over the chair back, adjust the length, clip firmly, and sit back and enjoy.
The Totseat is compact, squashable and washable. Keep one in your handbag, or around a relative's. Its small zipper bag is great for wet bibs too.
We're using this at home and if needed when we're out. Its really easy to assemble. The sitting position is great.
Excellent product. Really easy to use, versatile and folds away really small for easy transportation. Also it was delivered extremely quickly.
Our son can't sit still. The restraint is not safe as he would lean forward a few times and jut wriggle out. He is one years old. Probably better for younger children.
Recently got this product & it's proving to be very useful. Quick and easy to set up. Only used it on one of our dining chairs so far but works really well on there. The product does say that it isn't intended to replace a high chair, but for us so far it's a good in-between step for our 16-month old from a high chair to a proper chair.
Living in a small house, it is difficult to find a place for things my grandson needs like cot, highchair etc. Saw this on the Kiddicare website and bought it straight away. It is brilliant. Packs away in its own bag and fits inside my handbag for use when out and about. It is strong and stable in use. Ideal for my 15 month grandson. Thank you Kiddicare for bringing this to the market.

- Impact of Oxygen and Pesticides on Microbial Cellulose Degradation in Aerated Agricultural Soils: A Microscaled Analysis of Processes and Prokaryotic Populations (2011)
- The polysaccharide cellulose is a major component of organic matter in terrestrial ecosystems and its mineralization drives carbon fluxes in soil. The degradation of plant-derived saccharides (e.g., cellulose, cellobiose, and glucose) is catalysed by a huge diversity of aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms (including Bacteria, fungi, and protists), but there is limited information about their phylogenetic identities and their in situ relevance in soil. Soil is a heterogeneous habitat in which oxic and anoxic microzones co-occur, and in which the distribution of O2 can change rapidly. Hence, the availability of O2 is an important factor that determines the activity of the saccharide-degrading community in microzones of aerated soil. Likewise, the accumulation of potential toxic pesticides in agricultural ecosystems might influence microbial activity. It is not resolved how active cellulolytic and saccharolytic taxa respond to rapid changes in the availabilities of O2. Furthermore, it is unclear if pesticides impact on the degradation of cellulose and cellulose-linked processes, and influence the activity of active saccharide-utilizing microorganisms. Hence, this study first identified cellulolytic and saccharolytic aerobic and anaerobic Prokaryotes that catalyzed the degradation of supplemented [13C]-labeled saccharides by 16S rRNA stable isotope probing. The metabolic response of major bacterial taxa to pesticides and fluctuating availabilities of O2 was further analyzed with taxon-specific qPCR assays. Eukaryotes that contributed to soil carbon flux were identified by targeting 18S rRNA genes by the collaborative group of Dr. A. Chatzinotas at the Helmholtz Centre (UFZ) in Leipzig. Cellulose, cellobiose, and glucose were mineralized to carbon dioxide under oxic conditions, whereas different fermentation products accumulated under anoxic conditions. Fermentations occurred concomitant with the apparent reduction of nitrate and ferric iron. The degradation of supplemented saccharides was stable under oxic and anoxic conditions. Archaea were no active constituents of the cellulose-degrading community in the investigated soil. [13C]-cellulose was mainly degraded by Kineosporiaceae (Actinobacteria), the cellulolytic taxon Cluster III Clostridiaceae (Firmicutes), and the new family-level taxon 'Cellu1-3' (Bacteroidetes) under anoxic conditions. Under oxic conditions, the new family-level taxa 'Sphingo1-4' (Bacteroidetes) and 'Deha1' (Chloroflexi), and Planctomycetaceae (Planctomycetes) were involved. Active community members in [13C]-cellobiose and [13C]-glucose treatments differed from those in [13C]-cellulose treatments, and were selectively activated by O2. Twenty-eight of the 48 labeled bacterial family-level taxa did not closely affiliate with cultured species. Labeled Eukaryotes belonged to the families Bodonidae, Eustigmataceae, Mallomonadaceae, Opistonectidae, unclassified Chrysophyceae, and unclassified Stramenopiles. These families inhabit autotrophic algae and bacteriovorus flagellates. It is likely that these active Eukaryotes were labeled by incorporation of [13C]-carbon derived from grazing on active cellulolytic and saccharolytic soil bacteria. Fungi were not labeled in stable isotope probing experiments. The pesticides Bentazon, MCPA and Nonylphenol impaired cellulose-linked microbial processes only at pesticide concentrations far above the recommended rate. The impairment was most pronounced under anoxic conditions. Planctomycetaceae and the new family-level taxon 'Sphingo1-4' were sensitive to pesticide addition under oxic conditions, whereas Cluster I Clostridiaceae and the new family-level taxon 'Cellu1-3' were reduced under anoxic conditions. Nevertheless, the impact of pesticides on the degradation of saccharides at in situ-relevant concentrations seems to be minimal. These collective findings suggest that (i) a large uncultured diversity of Bacteria was involved in the degradation of cellulose, (ii) O2 selectively activates different cellulolytic and saccharolytic taxa, (iii) Cluster III Clostridiaceae, and the new family-level taxa 'Sphingo1-4' and 'Cellu1-3' represent the major cellulolytic constituents of the microbial community in the investigated agricultural soil, whereas Cluster I Clostridiaceae, Intrasporangiaceae and Micrococcaceae are saccharolytic satellite organisms that utilize cellulose-derived carbon, and (iv) the degradation of plant-derived saccharides is a community function that is stabilized by the rapid response of active bacterial taxa and independent of fluctuating availabilities of O2 and of pesticide application.

The Open Data Institute Gains Five More Partners
Max Smolaks of Tech Week Europe reports, "The Open Data Institute (ODI), the UK non-profit organisation co-founded by Sir Tim Berners-Lee and Sir Nigel Shadbolt to make better use of the huge amounts of information collected by the public sector, has signed up another five organisations to serve as its international 'Nodes'. The Tech City-based ODI was established in December 2012 as the culmination of plans to transform access to government data and has since expanded to a number of different countries. The new nodes are located in Osaka, Seoul, Sheffield, Philadelphia and Hawaii, marking the first time the ODI has expanded to Asia." Read more

If Gamers Were Civil War Generals
The McClellan: This player buffs and buffs, meticulously plans every possible avenue of attack, and would never dare fight without being at full Hit Points. But they're also easy to bluff and intimidate, and despite their tactical skill, if you can bloody their character, chances are they'll backpedal.
The Sherman: Burn, burn, burn. The moral question of orc babies in the dungeon is no question for this player. When they clean out a dungeon, it stays cleaned. It's brutal, but at least you don't to worry about those orc raids now. Dungeoncrawling is cruelty; you cannot refine it.
The Lee: The player everyone wants. Gracious, a solid tactical thinker, but definitely not afraid to move the action forward. If there's any problem, his battle plans can be a little too hazy at times. Sometimes gets a little too gutsy and pays for it, but without risk, where's the glory?
The Forrest: This guy just showed up at your table. No one in your group particularly likes him, and it's clear he didn't learn gaming from any sort of orthodox boxed set. But man, can he roll the dice. This is the crazy S.O.B. who somehow managed to escape when surrounded by 4d6 bugbears.
The Pope: Arrogant, dismissive of other players, and a bit of a one-true-wayist. You're pretty sure this guy could be a good roleplayer (and he seems to do fine at conventions), but at your table all he's ever done is nearly get everyone TPK'd.
The Burnside: Likeable and self-deprecating, this guy does ok as the quiet backup, but every time your GM tries to give him some "spotlight" time, it all goes horribly south. He's ok being the quiet one at the table, but your GM insists in putting him on the spot. He knows he's not a great roleplayer or gamer, and you wish everyone was ok with that, as it would save your group a lot of heartache.
The Grant: This guy has a crappy job, drinks too much, had to move back in with his parents, and possibly writes bad Star Trek fanfic inexplicably involving Alyson Hannigan. But when he shows up at the gaming table, he's an All-Star. He isn't always the #1 tactician or roleplayer at the table, but he's always there, continually moves things forward, and is generally the type of player every GM enjoys having around.
The Stonewall: You're fairly certain this guy is certifiable. He misses one out of every 4 sessions, and half the time when he's there, you're not entirely certain what he's talking about. But he does some of the most incredible, brilliant things you've ever seen at the gaming table, and that makes it all worth it. When he's on, he's untouchable.
The Butler: This guy probably plays in your game because a) he's someone's ride, or b) he owns the store you're playing in. No one really wants him there, but you have to admit, he has his uses. When it's his turn, he's brutal, to the point, and likely to cause a spot of trouble for other players. But it seems like you'll just have to grin and bear it.
The Fremont: This guy tells you he was "huge" in the RPGA a couple of years ago. He's doing you a favor by playing at his table. When you tell him to tone it down, he angrily threatens to have his network of gamers "boycott" your table unto perpetuity. Continually talks about his own game he's writing, which you're pretty sure is just a mix of Naruto and Exalted.

I know it's sort of looking at it backwards, but I love the idea of Ulysses Grant hunched over a notepad, knokcing out some Trek/Buffy fanfic!

@kelvin: Me too, FWIW. :)

Very cool Zach.
But you left out some:
The Hancock: The highly capable player who often saves the group when the 'plan' goes south, but is otherwise overlooked at the gaming table in favor of those with a larger personality.
The Reynolds: Another excellent player, but he always comes down sick or otherwise is pulled away from the campaign shortly after it starts. Real Life(tm) sucks.
The Picket: Gung Ho and willing to charge into anything to support the other players, this player can take the a possible resulting serious defeat to- heart- becoming a lackluster player thereafter.
Great fun here :)

- ckutalik said...
Awesome. I havw a McClellan at my table and just like his archtypical namesake he passes up perfectly normal combat risks in his cautiousness.
You forgot the Pickett though. You know the guy who insists on that suicidal frontal attack.
- June 9, 2009 at 10:08 AM
- ckutalik said...
Wow Gleichman made the exact same comment about Pickett in the time it took me to type it out. So-called great minds do indeed think alike.
- June 9, 2009 at 10:10 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Good call on the Pickett!
The Hancock could also be the Thomas ("Rock of Chickamauga").
Shame about Reynolds, because when he's actually there, he's fantastic, right?
- June 9, 2009 at 10:14 AM
- Gleichman said...
Indeed, if only The Reynolds could make very game- the players would rock!
Anothe one.
The Stuart: an able and skill player, but is often off doing his own thing when most needed.
This could go on for some time :)
- June 9, 2009 at 10:26 AM
- Zachary The First said...
The Stuart's the guy who's goes on "side quests" in the middle of the games when everyone else is trying to kill the dragon.
"Where's Stuart?"
"He's back in the town, still trying to haggle over the loot, and spying on that temple we saw".
- June 9, 2009 at 10:40 AM
- Gleichman said...
Few remember his Civil War career, but...
The Custer: A glory hound with luck, a combination that leaves him often disliked at the table. This player has yet to meet the battle he can't win, but he'll keep trying...
- June 9, 2009 at 11:13 AM
- ckutalik said...
What about the Longstreet? You know the guy that's a pretty decent tactician in his own right, but gets the blame when the Lee's plans unravel.
- June 9, 2009 at 11:22 AM
- Zachary The First said...
Ah yes, the party scapegoat. :)

I have to say this is one of the more brilliant and inventive category systems that I've seen in a while. Good Going. I just hope I never have to decide which one I am ;)
- June 9, 2009 at 12:03 PM

@Bonemaster: Thanks! You need more examples, let us know. :)

- Helmsman said...
Nice analogies. I don't know the slightest bit about the American Civil War other than Lincoln was on the north side, but I certainly dig the gamer analogies. Interestingly my best friend and the guy who basically mentored me through most of my gaming days is a spot on Fremont which I'm ashamed to admit has rubbed off on me a little, though I've never been to a Con so I don't have any names to drop... yet. ;)
- June 9, 2009 at 12:17 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@Helmsman: *wince*
Fremont's actually an interesting character. I'm afraid here I have painted him in somewhat of an ungenerous (if still no less accurate overall) light, but his career, pre-Civil War, is engaging in its own right.
- June 9, 2009 at 12:43 PM
- Helmsman said...
Hey if I didn't believe both my friend and I had certain redeeming qualities I wouldn't have mentioned it. The fact is yes we can be opinionated bastards (he more than me ;) ) but I wouldn't be here if I didn't see what you guys have to offer, and that hopefully I can bring something to the table as well. Which I'm sure Fremont did in his own right, otherwise he wouldn't be a noteworthy general.
- June 9, 2009 at 12:52 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@Helmsman: Well put!
Interestingly enough, Fremont's nickname was "The Pathfinder". Clearly a Paizo fan. ;)
Here's a pretty even-handed treatment of the fellow:
- June 9, 2009 at 1:15 PM
- kelvingreen said...
The Cromwell: Bitches and moans about the GM until he leaves the table, then takes over and introduces his own ruleset which no one likes nearly as much as the old one.
Oh, sorry. Wrong Civil War. ;)
- June 9, 2009 at 1:31 PM
The Chamberlain - quiet but competent, a good party member but nothing special. But then comes that one time when it counts the most, and he becomes DA MAN!
- June 9, 2009 at 1:36 PM
- Zachary The First said...
@Kelvin: Yes, wrong Civil War, but awesome. :)
@John: Chamberlain is likely my favorite Civil War general, thanks to Little Round Top. I wanted to include him in the list, but couldn't think of a good way to express it. Nice work!
- June 9, 2009 at 1:38 PM
You forgot the Farragut: plays a dwarf or some other high-hit-point character. Immediately attacks upon encountering an opponent, without making any effort to coordinate with other party members.
- July 31, 2009 at 1:42 PM
The Armistead: Always charges into battle as a one-handed sword wielder, has shouts to encourage nearby players, and also cares deeply about the Hancock players.
- March 14, 2013 at 5:23 AM

I will run H ICC 5's tonight and see if I can pick up something like Nighttime as uglyb suggested.
Def as agg says the theorycraft is in and it works as all of us are reporting.
Worse case run H-FOS and get nighttime it is much better than any tanking weapon you will find.
** Remember Warcraft players fail in directions you never thought possible.

Kathy, I said, "I'm lost" though I knew she was sleeping
I'm empty and aching and I don't know why
Counting the cars on the New Jersey Turnpike
They've all gone to look for America
I haven't really felt a lot of issues with threat either. It feels a little dicier on multi-mob pulls when dps starts to aoe early and I find I need to work to keep a threat lead where before I could /afk 20 seconds into a single target pull but generally, its not bad.
I did run icc last weekend with a fury warrior who outgeared me and insisted on doing max dps instantly, as soon as the pull started. I had gently cautioned him in whispers to moderate his initial threat to no avail. He pulled Saurfang off of me at the start of the encounter and I let him die with my finger resting on the unused taunt keybind. I told him as much after and he /quit the raid. Oh well.
The Nighttime is a good idea, what enchant do you guys recommend for it if I can pick it up tonight? It seems we are going away from defensive stuff and more offensive for the threat. I was wanting Rimefang's claw, but this sounds like a better idea. I was thinking beserking, but it reduces AC too and I don't like that trade off. Now I am thinking Mongoose, but thought I should check here first.
So I went and picked up Nighttime the other day. So far it seems to have worked. I am still working with it but my TPS seems to stay above 8-10k now in Heroics and AOE tanking has gotten easier. I still want to get some more testing in but it defiantely seems to be doing the job. The rage gain is a bit more clunky and not as smooth as it was with Rimefangs Claw but im starting to get used to it.
@Agnum: I was using Rimefangs Claw up until 4.0.1, and I don't know what the rest of these folks have found to be the best enchant, but I still used Bladeward on it.
Ive only had threat issues at the beginning of the pull. Like the first 5 seconds. I moved some of my avoidance to hit/expertise to I hit more often. Also you could try Shield Block then Shield Slam. If it crits, you should have a decent lead on threat.
I also go alot slower in my rotation to not be rage starved. Ive also noticed doing this seemed to make my threat pretty decent. Ill pull 15-35k TPS depending on crit strings.
My first v4 spec, I saw the B&T and said rend, WTF?! Needless to say I didn't spec it. I spent the next 5 days struggling with my old methods trying to hold aggro. Then I said, WTF. To make rend so prominent, Blizz must have tweaked my threat as drastically as they tweaked my rage.
So I respecc'd 2 points B&T, started every fight with a charge, rend, TC combo. I haven't had many problems holding mobs since.
I know, I know, the rend description doesn't say squat except that it makes the target bleed. It doesn't even mention threat.
When my target has rend, all the mobs hit by my TC start bleeding too. It really pisses 'em off.
Please try it yourself before explaining how lame rend is.
charge rend TC FTW
One thing that everyone seems to be ignoring is expertise, what is it sitting at? Hit is not as important but is important none the less. I was tanking all off H ICC with 13 expertise and 160 hit until 4.0.1 now im running 243 hit and 30 expertise(with food buff and glyph) and have zero threat issues(other than the wandering ghouls in p1 of H LK) and this includes tanking the 3rd and 4th ragings in the 2nd transition where bloodlust has been popped and dps is going all out switching to the 3rd spirit the second it stops moving.
Am I the only one that finds threat easier in this patch? Aoe feels about the same, and only requires a tiny bit more work to do then post patch. Single target threat is stupid easy if you have a md or tricks for the pull if not it's only a little stressful on initial threat but then it just becomes a joke when vengeance kicks in. 5mans are easier then before now that we actually get rage. Other then the initial shock this patch has been a good one.
ICC boss tanking got easier but ICC trash and heroics were definitely harder if you have specific classses fire mages, shadows with VE on, Dk's and fury warriors are the main problems.
** Remember Warcraft players fail in directions you never thought possible.
I think Blizz corrected the threat issue some what. The first 2 days after patch I couldnt do any threat at all, but now its no problem. I believe Blizz made an error and corrected it with the emergency patches.
Btw, there has been a lot of emergency patches after 4.01. Guess we are playing a trial game up until Cata. Hope all will be solved by then.
If the world didn't suck.
We all fall off...

Meg Ryan and Judith Regan "Below the Radar" on Table One
The spring power lunch season has officially begun at Michael's with plenty of famous faces and talking heads (Charles Grodin, Star Jones, Lawrence O'Donnell) mixed in with the usual suspects today. None other than Meg Ryan turned up with Judith Regan and slipped in practically unnoticed. Ah, but it's my job to tell you these things.
In the 'six degrees of separation' world that is the dining room at 55th and Fifth, Judith and I grew up in the same hometown of Bay Shore on Long Island. Her mother was often my substitute teacher in high school, and we've always had interesting chats whenever our paths have crossed. It's been a while since I've seen the famously fiery ex-book publisher and she told me she's adapted a new approach of "staying well below the radar" while working on her Sirius XM show. "No one even knows where I live," she said. I knew better than to question the strategy of staying out of the limelight by sitting at Table One on a Wednesday at Michael's, so we talked about mutual friends and exchanged pleasantries about our families. When Meg showed up, she couldn't have been nicer as we chatted about our daughters who we adopted from China the same year, are the same age and both wear glasses. (Sorry, but it's all OTR.) Later, on the way out, we talked a bit more and I suspected she had plenty more to say on the subject but didn't want to get caught it the crush of folks lining up for their coats. Oh, well. Maybe next time.
I was joined today by Stu Zakim, public relations vet and "transformational executive" (How's that for a title?) Mike Berman. Stu, a veteran marketing guru who has helped shaped the image of Showtime, Universal Pictures and Wenner Media, struck out on his own in 2010 with his own firm, Bridge Strategic Communications. His current clients include the Montclair Film Festival, now in its second year, and Mike, a turnaround specialist and business blogger who dispenses straightforward strategies on his blog, Berman Means Business. Stu has been working with Mike since last fall to extend the reach of his no-nonsense messaging espousing a holistic approach to building businesses. With recent headlines on media mash-ups and corporate meltdowns, we had plenty to talk about. Since Mike penned his first piece for CNBC's website entitled "Five Turnaround Tips for Ron Johnson, JC Penney and Others" earlier this week, I thought a discussion about JCP's embattled CEO was a good place to start. In a nutshell, says Mike, Johnson "was set up to fail — he can't fix Penney's."
He explains, "What's happening with Ron Johnson is a metaphor for what's wrong with business today. You can't hire a rock star as if he's just come down from the mountain top with the solution to every problem. No one person is able to do what he's saying he can do." According to Mike, Johnson's first mistake was expecting an already beaten down team to buy into widespread change without first stabilizing the organization and clearly articulating a long term vision for the future. Letting 10,000 people go among a shell-shocked workforce didn't help matters, either. "In the classic turnaround, you can be a hero by coming in and reducing staff, closing under performing stores or factories for the short-term, but in the long-term that doesn't create value and kills the economy. Executives have to ask themselves, 'How can I make sacrifices for the benefit of the entity?" Because so many companies rely on the slash-and-burn strategy as an immediate solution to stem the bleeding of their bottom line, Mike tells me he no longer works on "classic turnarounds" because he finds them "totally souless." Now there's something you don't hear every day.

Saturday, June 08, 2013 - True To SizeJust bought one of these and I love it. Very comfortable. The fabric is soft and stretches. Don't notice you have it on. Am wearing it right now and I think it's kind of erotic. Sizing was right on for me, but I can see where if someone wants it a bit looser, they would go up a size. Will buy more.

Selling our products is key to economic success, says Daniels
Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels met with area entrepreneurs on Thursday afternoon to formally launch "DreamHaven," an innovative program designed to inspire and motivate entrepreneurs to convert new business concepts into reality. Daniels' speech was designed to address why entrepreneurship is vital to the future of rural economies and how "DreamHaven" will step up to help.
"DreamHaven" was created by a grassroots league of local volunteers and was spun out of the Jay County 20/20 Vision initiative to support local business people as they take courageous steps toward converting new business concepts into reality. "DreamHaven" was formed to help new entrepreneurs built on local strengths such as several nationally lauded startup companies in technology, entertainment and manufacturing.
"This is a time when we better be able to sell our products," Daniels said to a packed house at the learning center. "It's important that we deliver more value per dollar; we need to go to the kind of places who have taken our dollars and work to bring them back to put somebody to work.
"We need to get the dollars America sent over there (China) and bring them back to put Hoosiers to work," Daniels said. "We will not be successful until we get a place that grows on its own. We need people who are job makers, not job takers. We need to become an Indiana that sells."
Chris Fennig, who is heading up the "DreamHaven" push said that one of the essentials to business success in the area is faster broadband service. He noted that efforts are being made to connect faster broadband service to surrounding communities.
"What is it you can do that makes sure the next job comes here," said Fennig. "We need to offer jobs that pay better than average and then raise wages from there. As that process takes place, it gets easier. We want to build the best business climate possible."
"We have long taken an innovative and diversified approach to developing our community," said Portland Mayor Bruce Hosier. "We are pleased that these efforts have been recognized at the state level and that Governor Daniels has chosen to celebrate this new initiative with us."
"Our energy strategy is to maximize home-grown Hoosier energy," said Daniels. "We have the potential of more BTU's of coal alone in the Illinois Basin of southern Indiana than Saudi Arabia has oil.
"Let's pay Hoosiers to mine it and move to make it into electricity," continued Daniels. "Ethanol is very much a part of all of this. Every time you buy a gallon of ethanol, it is a gallon that didn't bring money from Venezuela or some other place."
"DreamHaven" is coordinating five evening boot camp seminars designed to educate, motivate and equip business people to realize the dream of starting a new business. These seminars are designed to teach budding business leaders how to articulate a unique value proposition, analyze market opportunities, document assumptions and acquire the resources they need to convert business concept reality.
"We want you to make all of the money you can. Go make money; we want you to succeed. Pretty soon you will go hire somebody," said Daniels.
Those interested in the "DreamHaven" concept can call Chris Fennig at 260-693-7671 or go to www.mydreamhaven.com.
