Kat, I would be interested in doing some trading with you if you would like. I would be interested in JoAnne Pring, Mrs. George C. Hitchcock, and Afterglow (2 of Afterglow if you have them). I have a very extensive list of plants so you can check them and see if I have anything that you want. The only tropical I have up for trade right now is Albert deLestang. If you are not familiar with this tropical, it is an Austrailian waterlily that I have had much success growing. If you are interested in seeing what this lily looks like, go to http://www.victoria-adventure.org/waterlilies/anecphya_galleries/gigantea_albert_de_lestang.html where you can find a photo gallery of it. Though none of the pictures show it, Albert has a pretty icy blue tone on the first and second days. The flowers on this lily last a week compared to the four days of other tropicals. The plant that I have to send is a smaller plant but has TONS of growth on it and will be blooming size in a few weeks if given the proper care. It got a later start than all of my other tropicals. I also have Almost Black and then you can check my trade list and see what all else I have that you are interested in (go to www.geocities.com/lucasdalderson/myplants.html). I have most of the hardies up for trade but a different story on the bog plants and tropicals. I would be willing to trade 2 hardies per tropical with the exception of Almost Black because it is slightly rare. All plants will be good sized though Almost Black is a start but has very nice growth on it like the Albert deLestang. Let me know if you are interested in doing some trading. Happy ponding, Lucas D.

Relations between the two countries cooled after the Hague tribunal's acquittal of Croatian General Ante Gotovina, who was indicted for war crimes against Serbs in 1995.
By Igor Jovanovic and Drazen Remikovic for Southeast European Times in Belgrade and Zagreb -- 10/12/12
Former Croatia general Ante Gotovina releases a white dove as a sign of peace after making a speech November 24th to a crowd of 10,000 at Zadar. [AFP] |
While politicians leading Serbia and Croatia may be at odds after the Hague tribunal's acquittal of Croatian General Ante Gotovina last month, citizens such as 51-year-old Zrinka Kutlesic in Zagreb are taking a more moderate view.
"I am glad that our generals are released but I do not give it such great importance. Life goes on," Kutlesic told SETimes. "Tomorrow I will certainly say hi to my Serb neighbour. No politician or general can make me hate or fight with my neighbours."
The up-and-down relationship between the two countries seems to have taken another dip with the November 16th ruling that released Gotovina and Mladen Markac, who had been sentenced to 24 years and 18 years, respectively, for their roles in a 1995 offensive to retake Croatia's Krajina region.
Judges had ruled that the men were part of a criminal conspiracy, led by former Croatia President Franjo Tudjman, to expel Serbs from the region. Their convictions were overturned in a 3-2 decision by the appeals court, which ruled that prosecutors had failed to prove that the conspiracy existed.
Croatia President Ivo Josipovic said he believed Gotovina was a hero and that he could imagine the general as his adviser. That statement raised the ire of Serbia President Tomislav Nikolic, who angered Croatia earlier this year by referring to Vukovar as "a Serbian city."
"All that talk of him being angry because I said something about Vukovar is a lie," Nikolic said. "He has been waiting for this ruling. Now he wants us to talk -- me as the president of a people who committed crimes and him as the president of a people who has not been convicted of anything."
The Serbian ambassador to Berlin, Ognjen Pribicevic, said that Serbian-Croatian relations have constantly been going up and down over the past 15 years and that they may be fully sorted out only with Serbia's accession to the EU, which Croatia will join in mid-2013.
Croatian analysts said that the cooling of relations between the two countries was to be expected after the acquittal of the Croatian general.
"However, that kind of relations must be changed in the future because of the Serb and Croat citizens. Citizens deserve better treatment and they don't need the tensions. They need people who will work on reconciliation," Davorka Budimir, political analyst and vice-president of the Croatian Political Science Association, told SETimes.
Predrag Simic, professor at the Belgrade Faculty of Political Sciences, told SETimes that relations between Serbia and Croatia are also important for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
"However, after their significant enhancement during Boris Tadic's term as Serbian president, now those relations are at a very low level and it will be very difficult to restore them to a higher level. It will take time," Simic said.

Neighbors to the north | There's more than tundra up there
Posted By John Turnbull On 5 November 2005 @ 23:57 In Canada | 1 Comment
Toronto | Toronto councillors, as of late October, have approved public financing for a 20,000-seat soccer-specific stadium to host a Major League Soccer expansion franchise in 2007. The stadium would also be available to help stage—along with venues in Montreal, Edmonton, Ottawa, Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia—the 2007 FIFA World Youth Championship, which already has been awarded to Canada. The city would contribute about $10 million to construction of the $63 million facility, with the federal and Ontario governments along with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, owners of the Maple Leafs (National Hockey League) and Toronto Raptors (National Basketball Association), making up the difference. Debate has been spirited, with some objecting to the public subsidy.
"This is so wrong. This is so bad," said Councillor Mike Del Grande during the 4½-hour debate. "It's a backroom deal" (Vanessa Lu and John Spears, "City Spends $9.8M for Soccer Stadium [1]," Toronto Star, 28 October).
Others wonder whether MLS can lure interest, now that European football is readily available. "For most Toronto fans, the focus is on the very best soccer in the world—European soccer," says Bruno Hartrell, co-owner of the United Soccer League's Toronto Lynx [2]. "The North American product is so far down the ladder to those fans, you're very hard-pressed to attract them" (Cathal Kelly, "Soccer Gamble: Can MLSE Make It Work? [3]" Toronto Star, 29 October).
At play, too, are questions of soccer's place in the sporting culture of an extraordinarily vast (3.9 million square miles) and diverse land mass, as well as the desires to preserve Canada's distinctiveness in relationship to the United States. No one questions that soccer could replace ice hockey in the hearts of Canada's sports watchers. Georgie Binks, a Toronto writer, compares the yearlong National Hockey League lockout to "losing a lover." Six of the NHL's 30 teams are based in Canada; Hockey Night in Canada [5], telecast on Saturdays by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp., is a national institution, dating to its origins in radio in 1933. "We felt shunned and very hurt," says Binks. "I was encouraged most people didn't go completely insane. I couldn't envision at first what it might be like. For many of us, it wasn't reality" (Ed Graney, "Finally! Game On, Eh? [6]" San Diego Union-Tribune, 4 October).
The NHL returned on 5 October following its hiatus. Binks's friends seemed divided on the impact of hockey's absence on the national libido. Some polling suggested that Saturday-night hockey facilitated amorous encounters; some are not so sure. Binks writes: "One woman wrote to me that her husband had always done the ironing during the hockey game, and now the ironing basket was filled to overflowing. But it had meant no change to their sex life" ("What's the Score? Does No Hockey Mean More Action? [7]" CBC News, 4 February).
Like the United States, however, soccer nearly tops the charts in Canada when it comes to participation. The last major survey of nationwide participation in sports [8], completed in 1998, shows soccer placing second to ice hockey (37 to 34 percent) among boys 5–14 and second to swimming (30 to 28 percent) among girls. Participation rates in soccer dropped to 11 and 6 percent of active men and women, with ice hockey (men) and swimming (women) remaining the most practiced.
According to the Canadian Soccer Association [10], there were 825,000 registered youth and adult players in 2004, with 347,000 women, or 40 percent of the total. In a country of 32 million, the per-capita numbers are high. Pockets of fervor also exist, with Newfoundland mentioned in a recent BBC report as being especially "football mad" (BBC World Football [11], 29 October; archived audio available as of 7 November). The St. Lawrence Laurentians [9] of Newfoundland competed in October's provincial Challenge Cup [12], established in 1912; as Newfoundland and Labrador champions, they represented a tiny, seafaring community of 1,500 with Irish roots. The Laurentians' website chronicles the first recorded game in 1904, complete with the name of referee and goal scorer. "Soccer is a religion there," CSA competitions director Angus Barrett tells the BBC's Margot Dunne.
If you look down at the bleachers, there's a gentleman there in a yellow jacket. He's actually broadcasting the game back to Newfoundland. And they've been doing that for about 15 years. It's the only province that has its games broadcast back on radio.
In a follow-up interview to the BBC report, Owen Hargreaves [13]—born in Calgary, Alberta, and a midfielder for Bayern Munich and England (his father is from England, mother from Wales)—is asked about Canada's failed attempts to form a professional league (the Canadian Soccer League folded in 1992) and whether Canadian soccer always will be linked with the United States. The Toronto Croatia, established by Croatian immigrants, competed in the former North American Soccer League and were crowned champions in 1976; they were preceded by Toronto Blizzard and Vancouver Whitecaps.
Among women, Vancouver Whitecaps, London Gryphons, Ottawa Fury, Sudbury Canadians, and the Toronto Lady Lynx represent Canada in the semi-pro W-League [14], another primarily U.S. venture. Many of Canada's best women players, moreover, such as Christine Sinclair at the University of Portland, receive their training at American colleges. "Growing up the way I did and in Canada the way it is there are a lot of people that move, like my family, from other countries," Hargreaves says. "So there are a lot of South American families there. There's interest in football from I think the parents, so [for] the teenagers there are no possibilities, there are no leagues."
At the international level, the senior women's team continues to show progress while the men—who last qualified for the World Cup finals in 1986—slip in FIFA rankings. Further, the U-19 women's team barely lost to the USA in the final of the 2002 FIFA championship before 47,000 in Edmonton, Alberta. M. Ann Hall, in her treatment of Canadian women's soccer in Soccer, Women, Sexual Liberation (Frank Cass, 2004), mentions, too, the striking figure of 33,000 adult women playing the game. A strong adult women's competition exists even in Whitehorse, Yukon, where the First Nation Community recreation consultant, Charly Kelly, has a soccer-ball tattoo on her foot. Her six closest soccer friends, according to Hall, bear the same identifying marker.

Canada's own (American/Canadian) football league flounders when compared with the NFL. Only when Canadian clubs can play against serious opposition will there be any serious interest. I'm looking forward to the MLS expansion, but even so, there may not be enough of an audience, with everyone glued to Italian and English football on their televisions.

Hi, I've been looking at modern shrub roses. Astrid Grafin von Hardenberg, Summer Memories, Addictive Lure and Sonia Rykel have enormous appeal for me. I'm hoping that someone in my climate has experience of these. It's probably classified as 10b, lowest winter temp is 8C (47F), and reaches 40C (104F) occasionally in summer, but mostly around 30C (86f), with highish humidity for 2 months late summer. Trish. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The National Rose Society of Australia has a website with links to several local clubs. I'll put a link below -- a local expert would know which varieties would do best in your microclimate in the Sidney area: |
Here is a link that might be useful: National Rose Society of Australia
Thanks Petaloid, I've looked at their site. They list a number of roses that haven't been good for me,and don't list many that have been. But I will get in touch with someone in the Sydney area. I would still be interested to know how others have fared with the roses I listed. Trish. |

WSJ: The US should intervene as China strengthens its military. Economist: How to deal with WikiLeaks. FT: China's paranoia gets in its way.
The world economy looks to be even more divided in 2011
An opinion piece in the Economist argues the United States, eurozone and emerging markets are all headed in different directions concerning growth prospects and policy choices. New divisions may lead to more frictions ahead.
QUOTE: A more divided world economy could make 2011 a year of damaging shocks.
The EU must show its commitment to further enlargement
Carl Bildt, Franco Frattini, William Hague and Alexander Stubb, the foreign ministers, respectively, of Sweden, Italy, Britain and Finland, write in the International Herald Tribune that the European Union must return to its old ideals. In order to support more growth, stability and democratic institutions across the continent, it must open its doors to membership.
QUOTE: At its coming General Affairs Council, the EU should restate its strong commitment to further enlargement.
The US should intervene as China strengthens its military
An editorial in the Wall Street Journal states that with the help of Russia, China is dramatically improving its military capabilities. The piece argues that the United States must follow these changes closely and get more involved in order to maintain the balance of power Asia.
QUOTE: The American friend that has most to fear from this is Taiwan. Even now, the People's Liberation Army could probably assert air superiority over the island. That means the risk of escalation and miscalculation across the Taiwan Strait is growing.
North Korea's leaders are not crazy
Victor D. Cha, a professor at Georgetown University and a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, writes in the Washington Post that there are many myths surrounding the secretive North Korean regime. Contrary to popular belief, the regime is not crazy, negotiations won't improve the situation, and China cannot be counted on to bring about change.
QUOTE: In truth, the country's diplomats are savvy and well-educated about the United States, and have an epicurean taste for California's red wines. In my negotiations with them as an official in President George W. Bush's administration, I always found them to be rational.
Small emerging nations should be represented at the G20
Mauricio Cardenas, Luis Carranzaand Andres Velasco, former ministers, respectively, in Colombai, Peru and Chile, write in Project Syndicate that if the G20 wants to be more effective and play a bigger role in establishing a balanced global economy, small emerging nations should have a rotating seat at the table.
QUOTE: If countries are not adequately represented, international economic coordination will return by default to the multilateral institutions where it made little progress in the years that led up to the crisis.
How to deal with WikiLeaks
An opinion piece in the Economist argues that the United States is right to be angry with WikiLeaks, but it must follow its laws when dealing with the founder. If America deviates from its laws, it will damage its alliances and credibility and look impotent.
QUOTE: The best lessons to bear in mind are those learned in such costly fashion during the past decade of the "war on terror". Deal with the source of the problem, not just its symptoms. Keep the moral high ground. And pick fights you can win.
China is not foreign to diversity of thought and opinion
Columnist Doug Saunders writes in Toronto's Globe and Mail that the Chinese government is wrong when it tries to argue that basic human rights like the freedom to criticize authorities is a Western import.
QUOTE: Chinese economic historian Roy Bin Wong has shown us that China has independent traditions of markets and public roles as robust and well-rooted as those in Europe.
Obama's tax move will help him in 2012
Columnist Doyle McManus writes in the Los Angeles Times that President Obama's decision to extend the Bush tax cuts infuriated his liberal base. However, the deal is likely to be warmly accepted by independents, whose support the president needs to win reelection in 2012.
QUOTE: Most [American] campaigns are won in the center, among independent and swing voters who are neither reliably liberal nor deeply conservative.
China's paranoia gets in its way
Beijing bureau chief Geoff Dyer writes in the Financial Times that the refusal to allow Liu Xiaobo to attend the Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is only one example of how China has made more and more illiberal decisions. It has been unclear what has provoked this "illiberal lurch."
QUOTE: China's leadership has an enviable technocratic capacity to get things done – think of all those high-speed trains – but also a deep-seated paranoia about domestic political opponents that has been on full display this week.
Base North Korean policy on fact, not rumor
An editorial in the Korea Times argues that policy regarding North Korea must be made based on known facts and not rumors. It argues that South Korea already seems to be planning for reunification when it is only wishful thinking at this point that North Korea will collapse.
QUOTE: The government should bear in mind that confirmed facts should be the only criteria in formulating North Korea policy. The administrations both in the U.S. and South Korea have failed in this thus far.

Hi everyone, Happy March! Yup, it's almost spring and FINALLY the weather is nice. I sure hope it stays this way. I don't know about you, but in my 13 years here in the Valley this was my least favorite winter. Gray, frosty, gloomy. Yuck! This last weekend, and today, have been heavenly. I've cleaned up most of the carnage from the record breaking cold snap in early January, and am propagating plants that did great, and composting those that didn't. What about you? Here are a few things looking really nice right now. Aloe myriostigma finally mature enough to flower. I got it several years ago as a seedling and it should be a reliable late-winter blooming in the future. A beautiful, disastrous mess on the patio. Clashing gaudy colors, same-sized leaves, all the things that DON'T make up Good Garden Design. Yes, somehow, I love this corner of the patio, overflowing with petunias, oxalis, geraniuns, lobelias, pansies and ageratum Finally, something a bit more restrained, a nice compact powdery blue Agave parryi with some Euphorbia ridiga starting to bloom nearby. Talk about an easy, fun combination: just give them sun and slop water on them once a week or every ten days and you're good. Easy! What about in your garden? What looks great? Awful? Have you made any deliberate changes due to this past winter weather? We'd love to see/hear! Happy gardening! |

After that frost, the only things looking good right now are one bougainvillea that was on a protected side of the house, garden herbs like dill, rosemary, oregano, and greens like my Merlot and Simpson Black Seeded lettuce and Purple Russian Kale: |
(sorry, don't know how to post multiple files using this site's Image Upload). Some plants are showing signs of life though, ike my largest bougainvillea that I had trained to grow over the patio trellis. Starting all over again, but at least it's alive. |
As did the our Lisbon lemon we planted a year ago. It suffered the worst of all our citrus, dropping every leaf and having to be cut back the most. I haven't been out to examine the front yard yet, but in the back I think we only lost one boug and one lantana. Lemon: |

Great new pics, PhxLynne! It looks like everything is rebounding nicely--that's good to see. Cute kumquat and delicious looking lettuce! Most of my citrus had only very minor damage, all except for the 7 foot tall orange tree I grew from seed. It got zorched, LOL, but is bouncing back nicely too. Thanks for taking the time to post your pics! Just for fun here's a couple of things looking pretty good right now: Epiphyllum guatemalense 'Curly' which I got as a small rooted plant several years ago. Wilson the tennis ball included to show size. Neat, contorted plant with very boring, small, dingy blooms that open around 2:00 a.m. and only stay open for a couple of hours--definitely not worth getting up to see! A large pot hidden underneath the foliage and blooms of some 'Picasso in Pink' petunias paired with a red zonal "geranium" (Pelargonium) and blue lobelias out on the patio. 'Maricopa Red' a new-ish hybrid fairy duster. It's a cross between our native and super durable (but pale colored) Calliandra eriophylla and the bright red Baja fairy duster (Calliandra californica). It has the best habits of each parent. That's a spineless prickly pear Opuntia in the background. Obviously this is my back garden--otherwise the javelina would eat that spineless cactus to the ground overnight, LOL. |

Your roses DO look wonderful Jaspermplants! Thanks for posting them so we can all enjoy them. They're great! This is the first garden I've had in a long, long time without a single rose. I need to remedy that! I love the pergola in your pic too--really nice! I don't have any beautiful roses to share, but here are some other blooms going crazy in the garden. It's another section that's not what I'd call well-designed or well-thought out, but it IS pretty and everything is so easy, why not just relax and enjoy it, right? Here are some cacti and succulents with yellow Gladiolus tristis (wonderfully fragrant at night), pink desert penstemons, blue ageratum, and some red geraniums in a hanging basket, plus red/orange nasturtiums by the birdbath in the backround. Good old Gasteraloe 'Green Ice' blooming on the east side of the house. It's a hybrid between a Gasteria (which love it here) and Aloe variegata (one of the few aloes that can struggle here in summer) and has the best traits of both parents: the durability and happiness-with-this-climate of the Gasteria and the neat patterned foliage of the aloe. So easy and fun. I buy them any time I see them for sale. Water only when dry, and afternoon shade, keep them happy. ZERO protection this past winter and you can see it looks great. I added Wilson the tennis ball to show relative size. That's a big clump of Stapelia gigantea in the background, another favorite plant. Keep the pics and updates coming. I gotta go rose shopping now, LOL. Happy gardening! |

Recent purchases to train up the columns of our new patio extension include white Lady Banks Rose... |
..and pink bower vine. Both are on south-facing posts in full sun, so have my fingers crossed with how they will do in the heat of the summer. |
In the vegetable garden, herbs look great - German and French thyme, dill, oregano (Greek and Mexican), basil (Thai, purple, Itailan), cilantro, tarragon, marjoram, chives, sage, bay, mint, rosemary, parsley, lavender and lemon verbena. I'm also still cutting lettuce. |
I also planted peppers (poblano and jalapeno) and tomatoes - Pink Brandywine, Black Prince, Ace 55, Red Beefsteak Heirloom, Husky Cherry, and Black Cherry. The Husky Cherry already has the first tomatoes: |
Citrus trees all survived the frost and are doing much better. My Meyer lemon is leafing out and covered in blooms. |

Wow, great updates everyone, things are really looking good! Love the wildflowers, and the plumeria waking up (mine are just now showing signs of life, and yes, I did lose quite a few this winter, grumble, but my favorite 'Celandine' made it through like a champ). Great tomatoes, citrus recovery, and charming garden pics too. You all are so talented, so fun to see these! Just for fun, here's a raspberry colored California poppy blooming in the garden, plus a super cute little Mammilaria cactus, about the size of a tennis ball, plus just two of several blooms on my yellow flowered Cyrtanthus, a fun bulb with grassy foliage that does great here. Happy gardening, Grant! |

Some claims of retail racism involve not shoplifting policies, but perceived differences in customer treatment. William F. Causey, an attorney with Nixon Peabody LLP in Washington, DC, who represents retail chains, tells of a case he handled in which an African American woman bought a pair of sunglasses and found they were scratched. She tried to return them to the store but wasn't allowed to because she had no receipt. She asked a white friend to return them for her, and a different sales rep allowed the exchange without the receipt. The customer presumed the reasons were racist and filed a lawsuit. "We settled the case," Causey says. "The store is to train employees on diversity sensitivity, our law firm will review its policies on returns to make sure there's no discrimination, and [the store] provided a small monetary payment and new sunglasses."
Causey advises retailers to examine their policies and procedures to make sure customers are treated consistently. "The way stores get into trouble is treating each incident as an isolated event and not seeing the pattern," he says. "Make sure your policies are consistent with the law, and make sure employees understand them." In addition, Causey advises retailers to provide diversity and anti-discrimination training for all employees. Such training typically includes scenarios on videotape for employees to comment on. "Employees need to treat all customers the same and know how to deal with problems when they arise," he says. The cost of training is far less than the cost of a lawsuit.
To combat shoplifting, Taber advises moving to an electronic anti-theft system with sensors that must be deactivated at the checkout lane. "These are colorblind," he says. That can eliminate altogether the need for following customers around. Greeting customers as they arrive and making eye contact can also be strong deterrents to shoplifters-while making honest customers feel they're getting service.
Making sure you don't discriminate against customers is just good business, Taber says, especially given how many customers you can lose over bad publicity. "Any retailer would have to have a suicidal bent to deliberately alienate the African American community."

I found these videos on YouTube by a German rose gardener, Markus Kobelt. He's got over 300, lots of them on Austin roses. If you're a German speaker and unfamiliar with these videos, I think you might like them. Is there a Google translator that translates audio?

If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you. Les Brown There are amazingly wonderful people in all walks of life; some familiar to us and others not. Stretch yourself and really get to know people. People are in many ways one of our greatest treasures. Listen once in a while. It's amazing what you can hear. It's very intense to be in front of a live audience. It's just an amazing experience. It's dangerous. Everything out there is heightened. The bad stuff is extra-worse. The silences are extra-silent. The good stuff is amazing. It's electric when you walk out there. For 90 minutes, you're on this other planet. You can't be as old as I am without waking up with a surprised look on your face every morning: 'Holy Christ, whaddya know - I'm still around!' It's absolutely amazing that I survived all the booze and smoking and the cars and the career. |

NPR to Demonstrate Captioned Radio at White House
Washington, DC - Jul 19, 2010 - NPR's research and development group, NPR Labs, has been invited to demonstrate its latest technical innovations at the White House and at the Commerce Department as part of the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). At both events, NPR Labs will demo its captioned-radio initiative which paves the way for enabling deaf and hard of hearing Americans to experience or "listen" to radio.
At the White House, the NPR Labs team will show government officials and representatives from groups representing disability communities its prototype car dashboard featuring a captioned-radio display. The display is a dual-view screen. The driver's view shows GPS navigational maps while the passenger's view shows real-time text of the audio being broadcast over the radio. For safety reasons, the driver cannot see the passenger's screen view. The technology takes advantage of digital radio transmissions to send a closed-captioned transcript of a live broadcast to the screen on a specially built receiver.
NPR Labs will also take part in a technology expo set up by The Commerce Department and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and will demo the technology to the public and government officials.
The development is the core focus of public radio: to provide services for unserved and underserved audiences, including the hearing impaired. One in every ten Americans -- 36 million people -- has hearing loss, and this number is expected to double by the year 2030, according to the Hearing Loss Association of America.
At the Commerce Department, NPR Labs will demonstrate the dashboard as well as one of its technologies for the blind and visually impaired. Its Personalized Audio Information Service (PAIS) allows blind and low-vision listeners of Radio Reading Services (RRS) to choose radio programming by topic for on-demand listening. The technology uses XML tags in program information, which can be transmitted in the comment title field of a standard HD Radio channel. The tags can also command HD Radio receivers to alert the listener to emergency messages, such as tornado or hurricane warnings. Major funding for NPR Labs' accessibility projects has been provided by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research and the Public Telecommunications Facilities Program.
NPR Labs conducted the first live captioned radio broadcast on election night 2008, when NPR's election coverage was simulcast in captioned-radio format. The team collaborated with the International Center for Accessible Radio Technology at Towson (MD) University, WGBH's (Boston) Media Access Group and Harris to provide live captioning coverage for five local Public Radio Satellite System stations: WGBH; WTMD Towson, MD; WAMU Washington, DC; KFCR Colorado Public Radio in Denver and KJZZ Phoenix.

The Rubin The Red Book of C.G. Jung
The Red Book of C.G. Jung
This unprecedented exhibition marks the first public presentation of the preeminent psychologist C. G. Jung's (1875-1961) famous Red Book. During the period in which he worked on this book Jung developed his principal theories of archetypes, collective unconscious, and the process of individuation. It is possibly the most influential unpublished work in the history of psychology. More than two-thirds of the large, red, leather-bound manuscript's pages are filled with Jung's brightly hued and striking graphic forms paired with his thoughts written in a beautiful, illuminated style. Jung was fascinated by the mandala—an artistic representation of the inner and outer cosmos used in Tibetan Buddhism to help practitioners reach enlightenment—and used mandala structures in a number of his own works. Jung's first known mandala-like work, Systema mundi totius (1916), will be on display. Created between 1914 and 1930, the Red Book has never before been seen in public, outside the circle of Jung's family and very close friends. Alongside the 95-year-old volume will be a number of oil, chalk, and tempera paintings and preparatory sketches related to it and other original manuscripts, including the Black Books, which contain ideas and fantasies leading up to the Red Book. The exhibition coincides with W.W. Norton & Company's publication of a facsimile and translation of the Red Book.
Copies of the new publication will be available for perusal in a reference area in the gallery and available for purchase in the Shop @ RMA. The works of art and archival materials included in The Red Book of C.G. Jung are on loan from the Foundation for the Works of C. G. Jung, the Jung family private archive, and private collections. W.W. Norton & Company's publication is edited by Dr. Sonu Shamdasani, General Editor of the Philemon Foundation and Philemon Professor in Jung History at the Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at University College, London. The Red Book is one of the volumes of the Philemon Series, sponsored by the Philemon Foundation.

College! It's all about exposure to new ideas, learning skills for your future career, and, oh yeah, ceaseless romantic floundering. After high school, higher education is likely the last time you will be around so many people of your own age all the time. Who could blame you for sleeping with some a few many of them?
But just like those student loans that you'll be paying off until retirement (haha, in this economy, do you think retirement will still be around when we're old?), there's going to be some sex you regret. Sex you wish you hadn't had. Sex you wish you had had. Sex that you don't want to tell anyone about except the anonymous comments section of The Frisky.
After the jump, here are our worst sex regrets from college. It's only fair that you share your own! Keep reading »

©1970 Ursula K. Le Guin (P)1994 Recorded Books, LLC
I'm a web developer based out of Sacramento, I listen to books while I work, and love audible.
"Where's the rest of the story?"
This book rated between 2 and 3 stars for me. It's not because it was badly written, but it's because not much really happened. It was like reading the first 3 chapters of a book, and then having the book end right with you get introduced to the characters and they actually do something. Or it was like reading a short story in an anthology. I'm hoping the 3rd one has a lot more meat to it.
"In Some Ways, the Best of the Original Trilogy"
If you liked The Wizard of Earthsea, this is a must-read sequel. I love how LeGuin pulls on a few threads from the first novel but mostly departs into a completely different tale ... in tone, structure, plot, and even in geography. Marginalizing Ged as a character until halfway through is a brilliant stroke and gives us a new character to care about in the form of a young girl, chosen one of the old powers of the Earth. The result is powerful ... lyrical, dusky, narrow in scope. Wow. It probably works best for young adults, as a coming of age story for girls. But it has a universal appeal.
"Interesting but slow story"
The story of this is interesting but it starts out very slowly, and you spend the first half of the book waiting for the introduction of any characters you know from before. Many pivotal moments are waved over or explained away as having occurred in another time, and where many books discuss the how and why of things, this one just discusses what without any real deepening understanding of the world and how it works.
I was entertained enough by the first book to keep going, but only because I had nothing better going at the time.

Quick reminder, if the chart below seems alien to you, consult our guide to free agent d-man for a primer on Hockey Abstract's player usage charts.
The market for wingers is probably the deepest in this free agency. There are numerous top-6 contributors available and plenty of depth forwards to go around. That means reasonable prices for teams looking for help on the flanks. Let's dive right in.
The Lemons
- Brian Gionta (Declining Veteran) - Gionta didn't have terrible season, putting up 40 points while dealing with shut down deployment from Michel Therrien. But at 35, his useful years are dwindling quickly. His ability to drive possession has undoubtedly declined towards the twilight of his career and he's coming off of a $5 million dollar AAV contract in Montreal. He'll likely take a pay cut this year, but the question is how much? Taking on a risky 35+ contract for a guy who's showing the wear and tear of age isn't a great bet. Similar Players to Avoid: Todd Bertuzzi (DET), Radek Dvorak (CAR)
- Steve Bernier (Bottom 6 Filler) - Borderline NHLers like Bernier can be picked up at almost any time if you need some cannon fodder. Only teams with a serious lack of depth on the farm need apply. Similar Players to Avoid: Jack Skille (CLB), Stephen Gionta (NJ), Cam Janssen (NJ), Chris Thorburn (WPG), Mike Brown (SJS), Shawn Thorton (BOS), Adam Cracknell (STL), Patrick Eaves (NAS), Chris Connor (PIT), Chuck Kobasew (PIT), Ryan Jones (CGY)
- Ryan Callahan (Overvalued Intangibles) - You'll hear the phrases "leadership" and "hard worker" thrown after Callahan's name a lot. The question is, are all those fuzzy intangibles worthy of the huge contract Callahan wants on the open market? With consistently middling on-ice results and only average point production, the short answer is no; and the New York Rangers sure seem to agree since they unceremoniously dumped their captain at the trade deadline. Similar Players to Avoid: Nikolai Kulemin (TOR)
Disclaimer! Not all of the guys listed above are necessarily bad NHL players. Some of them could be serviceable pick ups and depth guys. But remember, we're trying to get the most bang for our buck in free agency.
Smart Buys
- Jarome Iginla (Old but Still Truckin') - While Iginla is most certainly a veteran, and most certainly declining, he's merely fallen from superstar to above-average Top-6 contributor. Jarome is still good for 60+ points and isn't a total drag on his team's possession stats. Given his age, any long term contract would be a potential gaffe in the making, but if you can get him on a one year deal at a reasonable number, you'd be crazy not add his 30 goals and 30 assists to your team's attack. Similar Players: Daniel Alfredsson (DET)
- Marion Gaborik (Expensive) - Gabbo is the darling deadline pick-up of this year's playoffs. He's got a history of multiple 40 goal seasons, his possession numbers aren't bad, and he's still got excellent speed. Its no secret Gaborik is a bonafide top line scorer. And coming off a contract that paid him $7.5 million AAV, he'll be looking for another pay day in free agency. If you've got deep pockets and nothing to lose, Gaborik might be the right fit.
- Ales Hemsky (Best Value) - Hemsky has been a positive play driver on two struggling teams in Edmonton and Ottawa. And since he's not putting up top-end numbers like some of the bigger names, Hemsky might be floating under the radar this free agency. That mean's a cheap contract for strong playing driving ability, and in the right situation, Hemsky still has the play-making skill set to produce points. Similar Players: Radim Vrbata (PHX), Lee Stempniak (PIT), Matt D'Agostini (BUF), Pierre-Marc Bouchard (CHI), Steve Downie (PHI)
Disclaimer! You should never buy on a player without considering his career numbers, his quality as a teammate, injuries, age, and previous contract. Don't forget to check back soon for our overview of left wings.

Being both amazing and resolutely independent, Valve is in the fortunate but sadly rare position of being free to say whatever the hell it likes about anything. And it does. Although currently enjoying a great big make-up hug with the PS3, MD Gabe Newell has been no stranger to giving Sony's machine a brutal kicking in the past. But to balance things out a little, he's just fired the phrase "train wreck" at Xbox Live.
Speaking in one of an epic series of interviews currently being prepared for the internets by our busom buddies at PCGamer.com (this one covering Valve's self-precieved failings), Gabe blamed the current XBL system for a big chunk of Valve's console-based woes.
Speaking alongside project manager Erick Johnson and marketing director Doug Lombardi, Gabe mentioned Valve's currently happy situation of bundling its own Steamworks game update and maintenance tools with the PS3 version of Portal 2, comparing it to the nightmare Valve has had in trying to deliver the full Team Fortress 2 experience to its Xbox 360 customers.
Erik Johnson: Favourite conversation of ours! PS3, so far. The way we've dealt with those customers so far, and the product that they have. And the lack of updates on the 360, for TF2, is also a total failure. Those are the ones that sting the worst because…
Doug Lombardi: There's actual ramifications.
Erik Johnson: Because it got all the way through to customers. It's like a bug. If you fix a bug before it ever ships, it's pretty cheap.
If you ship it and then fix it, it's really expensive. Those ones are really bad.
Gabe Newell: That's why we're really happy with the current situation with the PS3… We're solving it now in a way that is going to work for our customers, rather than assuming something is going to emerge later that will allow us to fix this.
PC Gamer: Was the mistake on the Xbox side to think that Microsoft would let you update it more often?
Gabe Newell: We thought that there would be something that would emerge, because we figured it was a sort of untenable… Oh yeah, we understand that these are the rules now, but it's such a train wreck that something will have to change.
Want more? Well there's plenty more. PCG already have the first of their big Valve interviews up, with six more to be added over the next week. The full version of this one joins it at around 4PM today, GMT, and covers a grand old 13 things Valve think they have failed at. Keep checking back at the Valve Week hub page for more. It's all guaranteed to be great.

Similar to military culture, federal employment comes with a new set of terms to understand.
Competitive Positions: Most civil service jobs fall under this category. Competitive jobs must be filled through a fair, open, and merit-based process. The competitive examination, which is open to all applicants, may consist of a written test, an evaluation of an applicant's education and experience, and/or an evaluation of other attributes necessary for successful performance in the position to be filled. Competitive Status: A person's basic eligibility for assignment (for example, by transfer, promotion, reassignment, demotion, or reinstatement) to a position in the competitive service without having to compete with members of the general public in an open competitive examination. Once acquired, status belongs to the individual, not to the position. General Schedule: The general pay scale system for white collar jobs in the federal government. Positions are identified by GS level from GS 1 to GS 15 KSAs: An acronym for "Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities." An applicant's qualifications for a position are often determined with reference to the KSAs that are relevant to successful performance in that position. MSP: Military Spouse Preference Noncompetitive Positions: A position in the competitive service that is not made by selection from an open competitive examination and that is usually based on current or prior federal service. A noncompetitive action includes (1) all of the types of actions described under inservice placement, (2) appointments of non-federal employees whose public or private enterprise positions are brought into the competitive service, and (3) appointments and conversions to career and career-conditional employment made under special authorities. Preference Eligibility: A veteran, spouse, widow, or mother, who meets the definition provided in 5 U.S.C. §2108. Preference eligibles are entitled to have 5 or 10 points added to their earned score on a civil service examination.

In every part of our vast country you'll find unique experiences to make your dream holiday come true.
'There's nothing like forging through the ancient banded iron formations of Weano Gorge in Karijini National Park, WA.'
Karijini National Park was a shared favourite destination for American geologists Jill and Paul, who took their two teenage children on a six week camping trip through Western Australia. Determined to squeeze in an adventure before Paul began a three-month stint at Sydney University, the family flew to Perth before driving north in a hire car.
"My husband and I are both geologists, so we enjoy hiking through geological wonders. Our kids have grown up doing this with us and they love to explore," Jill said.
Jill, Paul and the family loved hiking through the ancient landscape of Karijini National Park, which sits near the small town of Tom Price in Western Australia's Pilbara. Jill described it as "the most incredible place", and the family spent a week here, exploring the rugged red gorges, mighty waterfalls and sparkling waterholes. This is where Jill captured the photo of her son, Erik, clambering over the "Precambrian banded iron formations" of Weano Gorge.
"We camp because it stretches out the money so we can see more, but it also brings us very close as a family. We also learn so much wherever we go about nature, culture, history and from other travellers," Jill explained.
On their Western Australian trip, Jill, Paul and the children also discovered the limestone Pinnacles in Nambung National Park, north of Perth, and saw "sand dunes swallowing Geraldton". In the Shark Bay World Heritage area they met the friendly dolphins of Monkey Mia and were captivated by the ancient marine stromatolites of Hamelin Pool.
Further north the family stayed in Coral Bay and took snorkelling cruises out to Ningaloo Reef, spotting migrating whales and sting rays. Another favourite family destination was the south end of 80 Mile Beach, where local Aboriginal custodians have a rich and continuing presence. The entire beach is 220km long and sits between Port Hedland and the pearling port of Broome, where the family also visited.
The family travelled as far north as Geikie Gorge in the Kimberley, before looping back inland through Karijini National Park and Tom Price, where they toured the local iron-ore mine. In the state's golden outback, they visited the grand old gold town of Kalgoorlie and saw Hoover House (where former US President Hoover once worked) in the nearby ghost town of Gwalia.
Memorable destinations along Western Australia's south-west coast included Esperance, Cape Le Grand National Park and Lucky Bay, with its dreamy white sand. The family saw the giant tingle trees near Walpole and visited Calgardup Cave and Cape Leeuwin before driving back to Perth.
"We love Australia so much, it is always hard to leave. Our kids are heading off to college soon, but they will never forget the adventures we've had. We aren't wealthy and don't have a lot of nice things, instead we save our money and blow it on these unforgettable trips with our kids. It's worth it. We hope to return as a retired couple and do the grey migration round trip," Jill said.

Unlocking a New Passion as a Former Athlete
As an athlete, there's nothing in the world that can replace the feeling you had scoring the winning goal of the championship game and hearing the roar of the fans around you. You're always trying to replace that feeling you had as an athlete and then you realize after a few years that you're never going to replace it – it's one of a kind. Once you realize this, that's when you say to yourself, "OK, well, I've been blessed with that time. But now it's a new time."
Because athletes spend so much of their time dedicated to their sport at an early age, this creates a unique situation in which time has not been allocated to acquiring interests in other areas. Likely, the hardest time for all former athletes is simply figuring out what they can do after their sport. What other untapped talents and passions do you have? Former athletes transitioning into a career should say, "Although I still identify myself as an athlete, I have replaced my sport with a passion for something new, as well as a commitment to succeed in my career."
A great example of someone who excelled at her sport and then successfully transitioned into a career outside of sports is Kerri Strug. You may remember her as the gymnast who completed her second vault on a badly damaged ankle to guarantee the gold medal for the US team in the 1996 Olympics. After becoming a national sports hero for her performance in the Olympics, Kerri Strug worked as an elementary school teacher at Tom Matsumoto Elementary School in San Jose, California before moving to Washington, D.C. in 2003, where she worked as a staff assistant with the U.S. Office of Presidential Student Correspondence. Now, Strug works in the Justice Department's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention staff as a presidential appointee.
Even though Kerri Strug will always have a place in her heart for gymnastics, she has found her new passion, and so can you. As a company comprised of many former-athletes ourselves, we understand the challenges that athletes face as they transition out of athletics and into a career. Athlete Connections provides opportunities for athletes to connect with potential employers and find a promising career suited specifically for them. Upload your resume today to access our one of a kind Job Board featuring employment opportunities for athletes by employers particularly looking for the inherent attributes of a student-athlete.

Any of you guys tell me my current marathon fitness? I'm aiming for a sub-3 in Toronto Scotiabank Marathon about 11 weeks from now. I'll try to put my log in public to see my recent workouts.
Anyways I'm hitting all the Daniels workouts for VDOT 53 including the TLTs and did my first MP run today 2 x 10.5/k with 30secs rest @4:12/k and the second was 4:09/K.
My brain can't compute kilometers, but it doesn't look live you've raced in a long time. Do you have any upcoming races? Races will give you the best idea of your current fitness.
There was a point in my life when I ran. Now, I just run.
Well, fuckers

Channel Guide: The Positives, Possibilities and Puke-Worthy Shows of the 2012 Midseason
Channel Guide By Mikela Floyd on January 4, 2012 | Comments (4)Ah, the television midseason. By now, the public has decided which new shows they'll stick with (Revenge, 2 Broke Girls, New Girl), which they're unsure about (Pan Am, Prime Suspect, Once Upon a Time) and which aren't even worth thinking about (The Playboy Club, Free Agents). There's little chance that if something hasn't become appointment viewing by now, it's worth cancelling the DVR season pass. So while we're all finally getting over the tragedy that was Charlie's Angels, the network bigwigs are using their highly-representative sample (comprised, one can only imagine, of elderly people, religious zealots, and the entirety of the state of West Virginia) to determine just what they'll throw at us next. Sure, some of the best shows have been birthed out of a midseason replacement (ahem, Happy Endings, ahem), but the pickings are often more than slim – shows the networks don't often find strong enough to debut with their fellow newbies in the fall. So what will we have to look forward to (or to run away from) in our TV Guide in the coming weeks? Sure, PBS will kick off the second season of critical and ratings darling Downton Abbey January 8th, while NBC's 30 Rock is back January 12th. Cee-Lo Green will once again be gracing our television screens with The Voice's post-Superbowl premiere, and Timothy Olyphant will be emanating his rugged swagger on Justified once more, as the lawman drama kicks off its third season January 17th. But what of the newly minted […]
Channel Guide: 5 Promising Midseason Series
Channel Guide By Amber Humphrey on December 17, 2011 | Comments (1)After all of the hype from the fall television premieres has died down, we are now in for the second wave of excitement that happens midseason. If all of the shows that begin airing in September are dinner, then the ones that come in the winter are dessert – of course, that dessert can be horrible, you know, maybe taste a little like Sons of Tucson. This metaphor is wearing thin, so before I start talking about oatmeal raisin cookies and non-fat yogurt, here's a list of the midseason series premieres that I have my eye on.
Trailers For Fox's New Series Including Abrams's 'Alcatraz' and The Animated 'Napoleon Dynamite'
Television By Merrill Barr on May 17, 2011 | Be the First To CommentEarlier today FOX unveiled their fall schedule which I'm sure left us all excited for the prospect of a new Abrams show. And just to keep that excitement alive they have now released some trailers for all their new series, including Terra Nova, Napoleon Dynamite, and Alcatraz. So without any ado whatsoever, here are the latest promos for all of FOX's new prime time programming:
Movie News After Dark: Remembering Jim Henson, Alcatraz, Tintin Posters and The Ambiguously Gay Duo
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 16, 2011 | Comments (1)What is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly column chronicling all that is good and true(ish) in the world. But enough gay banter, its author caught the new trailer for The Muppets this evening — it's attached to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides — and it was adorable. Not Pirates, that wasn't great, the Muppets trailer. Speaking of Muppets, here's something sad… 21 years ago today, Jim Henson passed away. Our friends over at /Film are remembering him by posting a wonderful documentary called The World of Jim Henson. It's worth your time, as you might imagine.
FOX Cleans House, Wonder Woman Pickup Rumored
Television By Merrill Barr on May 10, 2011 | Comments (7)After weeks of negotiations between FOX and Universal over the production costs of hit medical drama House M.D., the show has finally been renewed for an eighth season on the network. The issue of the negotiations stemmed from the fact that FOX wanted to drastically cut the cost of producing the show since the recent drop in ratings from last season. Series stars Hugh Laurie, Omar Epps, Olivia Wilde, and Robert Sean Leonard are all signed on to return, but co-stars Lisa Edelstein, Jesse Spencer, and Peter Jacobson are all still in the middle of negotiations. However, their returns are almost a guarantee. In addition to the renewal of House, the network also picked up three pilots to series including the comedy I Hate My Teenage Daughter starring Jaime Pressly, another comedy in the form of The New Girl starring Zooey Deschanel, Bones (which also saw a renewal a week ago) spin-off Finder which had a back door pilot on the hit crime-drama a couple weeks ago, and the new J.J. Abrams series Alcatraz.
