Measuring Earthshine to Illuminate Earth's History, Climate Change, and the Search for Extraterrestrial Life
Earthshine continues to shed light on climate variables, and scientists are using Earthshine data to search for life on distant planets. Goode will describe the worldwide network of inexpensive ground-based robotic telescopes he is developing to measure Earthshine and better understand climate variables. Scientists also use Earthshine models to search for complex life on distant planets. Other Earthshine models illustrate what Earth looked like in the distant past.

Baltimore and Phoenix: How Urbanization Affects the Nitrogen Cycle for Good and Ill
Studies in Baltimore and Phoenix under the National Science Foundation's Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) program have begun to reveal how urban activities change the cycling of nitrogen, a critical element in ecosystems that can also become a pollutant. Nitrogen from human activity that enters watersheds is exceptionally sensitive to climate variability and therefore to climate change, according to new analyses conducted by scientists in the Baltimore Ecosystem Study. Delivery of this critical pollutant to coastal waters such as the Chesapeake Bay occurs at moderate to high flows, a finding with significant implications for the design and implementation of restoration activities. Work from the Central Arizona-Phoenix urban LTER site shows that restoration activities can create "hotspots" of nitrogen removal in retention basins and artificial lakes, restoring nitrogen removal functions that used to occur in natural streams now degraded by urbanization. Work in both Phoenix and Baltimore has also found that residential areas have surprisingly significant capacity for storage of carbon in soil and vegetation, removing from the atmosphere some of the carbon dioxide that contributes to global warming.

New Discoveries at the Edges of the Solar System
Voyagers 1 and 2, launched in 1977, are approaching the edge of the solar system, the first manmade objects to do so. Heading in different directions, they are reporting a large north-south asymmetry in the shape of the heliosphere, the "bubble" within which the Sun dominates, that could be caused by an interstellar magnetic field pressing inward on the southern hemisphere. Voyager 2 could cross the termination shock at any time during the next year or two. Beyond the termination shock, there are large holes and bumps in the magnetic field, and the speed of the wind is lower than expected, and possibly inward sometimes. Voyager 1 has found a new source of low energy particles coming from the shock but, contrary to predictions, did not find the source of higher energy anomalous cosmic rays.

Sharing information about distant skies
One of the biggest challenges for scientists who study global climate patterns is obtaining detailed information about local atmospheric conditions around the world. This press conference will highlight a data distribution system that is beginning to connect meteorologists and weather observers in the United States and Latin America, providing scientists with unprecedented amounts of information in near-real time. The system, created by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research's Unidata program, uses the Internet to distribute real-time observations and forecasts for educational and research purposes. Professors, students, and others who watch the skies can enter their observations, enabling researchers to track highly localized changes in atmospheric conditions from thousands of kilometers [miles] away. This system will be made available to additional continents and may eventually incorporate ecological and other types of observations, strengthening both data flows and international collaborations.

Global Data Interchange and Next Generation Science
Understanding the Earth system is crucial to enhancing human health, safety and welfare, alleviating human suffering including poverty, protecting the global environments, reducing disaster losses and achieving sustainable development. Increasingly, the geosciences draw on ever-larger, more complex, and data sets coming from an ever-increasing range of disciplines to develop and test its hypotheses on how our world works. When developing a new model for predicting weather patterns or trying to increase warning times for flood-prone areas, our reliance on information and its accessibility requires that data systems not be "home grown," but rather conform to internationally adopted standards and provide the infrastructure to maintain them. The upcoming international science years offer extraordinary examples of how supporting data infrastructure in the geosciences leads to a new level of data integration and knowledge discovery to support these goals.

Biogeophysics Debuts: First Look at Recent Research
Biogeophysics is a new sub-discipline that bridges the gap between geophysical monitoring and biogeochemical activities. In this press conference, panelists present some of the most recent advances in biogeophysical research: (a) in the clean up of contaminated soils using electrokinetics (application of an electrical field), (b) in planetary exploration and biomedical issues (use of geophysical methods to detect living organisms), and (c) in nanotechnology and the better understanding of microbial activity in soils.

Early Warning From Space of Deadly Floods and Landslides
Landslides and floods claimed over 300,000 lives between 1985 and 2005, mainly in parts of the world without extensive flood and rainfall monitoring networks. Using advanced new observations from space, scientists are beginning to build early warning systems with potentially global reach. Researchers will discuss cutting-edge efforts to turn satellite observations of rainfall, rivers, and surface topography into warning systems. Specifically, scientists can now detect floods using satellite microwave sensors to gauge discharge from rivers by measuring changes in river widths. With heavy rainfall as a primary cause of flooding around the world, they can now use satellite-based precipitation estimation to improve warning systems. Lastly, the panel will detail how scientists are using satellite observations to map and detect rainfall conditions that may trigger landslides and debris flows, which are responsible for thousands of deaths and billions of dollars in destroyed property each year.
Session: H23A

Revolutionizing Space Exploration With Onboard Computers
Recent developments in onboard decision-making software are making possible revolutionary new space missions. This press conference will present highlights of current missions using this software, as well as a look ahead to future missions. The Autonomous Sciencecraft aboard the Earth Observing One spacecraft processes imagery to actively track volcanic eruptions, flooding, and freezing and thawing of snow and ice. These concepts are also being deployed on planetary missions. Software will enable the Mars Exploration Rovers to track dust devils and detect clouds, increasing the efficiency of study of the Martian atmosphere. Software has also been developed for the Mars Odyssey mission to enable onboard detection of polar frost changes, thermal events, dust storms, and water ice clouds.
Session: IN43A
Workshop on AIM and THEMIS for Science Writers
Whether it's taking a baby picture of the universe with Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP), or detecting the brightest explosions in the universe with Swift, NASA's Explorer program has made some of the biggest scientific discoveries. This fall, NASA plans to launch two new Explorer missions, Time History of Events and Macroscale Interactions during Substorms (THEMIS) and Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM). The THEMIS mission plans to unravel the tantalizing mystery behind auroral substorms, an avalanche of magnetic energy powered by the solar wind that intensifies the northern and southern lights. THEMIS will help scientists understand how and why these space storms create havoc with satellites, power grids, and communication systems The AIM mission seeks to explain why mysterious brilliant silvery blue clouds keep appearing at the edge of space in the mesosphere. To what extent does the Sun control the dramatic variability seen in these clouds? Are these clouds, which did not exist a century ago, a temperature gauge for climate change? This science writer workshop will explain why these missions are so important to understanding how solar activity affects the Earth. Participants

2. Attention PIOs: Sending press releases to Joint Assembly
Public information officers are urged to work with scientists from their institutions to produce press releases and other materials for the media, related to their research, regardless of whether the scientists will be participating in press conferences. We suggest around 40 copies of printed materials and three copies of any video for broadcast, which should be in commercial Beta format.
The simplest way to send such materials is with the scientists themselves, asking them to drop them off in the Press Room (Room 322, Baltimore Convention Center). If that is not feasible, you may send them by overnight express service, for delivery on Monday, 23 May or after.

At an isolated part of the beach of Cannes a beautiful French girl threw herself into the sea. A young man off at a distance noticed it and dashed into the water to save her, but it was too late. He dragged the seminude body ashore and left it on the sand while he went in search of some official. When he returned he was horrified to see a man making love to the corpse.
"Monsieur!" he exclaimed, "that woman is dead!"
"Sacre bleu!" muttered the man, jumping up. "I thought she was a nun."
To be a monk or to be a nun is to be dead. And there are millions of ways of how to die and not live.
Truth surrounds you. It is in the air, it is in the fragrance of the flowers, it is in the flow of the river, it is in the green leaves, it is in the stars, it is in the dust, it is in you. Only truth is! But you go on avoiding it and you go on asking questions - How to attain to truth? Where is the map? Which way is it? And even if the map is given to you, the map does not help you in any way. In the first place the map cannot be given, because the truth goes on changing. It is not a stagnant phenomenon; it is continuously changing. It is alive, it is breathing. It is never the same; it is never the same for two consecutive moments.
Says old Heraclitus, "You cannot step in the same river twice." In fact, you cannot even step once; the river is flowing, the river is flowing so fast. And not only is the river flowing, you are flowing. You cannot step in the same river twice: the river changes. You cannot step in the same river twice: because you change.
Truth is dynamic. Truth is not something dead. That's why it cannot be contained in words. The moment you utter it, it has passed, it has gone beyond, it is no more the same. The moment you say it is so, it is no more so. Words lag behind.
To be with truth there is only one possibility: drop words. Language lags behind. Language is lame. Only silence can go with truth, hand in hand. Only silence can move with truth. Only silence can be so fast, because silence has no weight to carry. Words are loaded; they carry weight. So when you are carrying words, great theologies in your head, great abstractions, then you cannot walk with truth. To walk with truth one has to be weightless. Silence is weightless; it has nothing to carry. Silence has wings. So only in silence is the truth known, and only in silence is the truth transferred, transmitted.
The tyro asked the master:
"Master, what is the first principle?"

A 69-year-old Great Falls Man, DelRay Saeman went missing Friday while on Placid Lake. We're told the man was taking his motor boat out on the water to do mechanical work at around 3:30. The boat was later found drifting towards shore, but no one was inside.
Search and rescue crews spent all day looking over the weekend. Missoula County Sheriff's Office says crews are meeting and plan to search again in the next couple of days.
And the search for a missing Huson man on Flathead Lake has now turned into a recovery mission.
The Lake County Sheriff's office says 36 year old Nathan Bird was reported missing Sunday, when his two dogs were found along with his boat near Finley Point.
Public Information Officer Karen Sargeant says they searched the last two days in the Narrows area between Finley Point and Kings Point.
It is not believed foul play was involved.
The investigation continues.

text: ''The original thing about this film is that the acting is only one strand of a three-stranded piece,'' says British actress Justine Waddell (above, with Michael Weatherly), 27, of Peter Bogdanovich's The Mystery of Natalie Wood, in which she plays the late screen icon. Airing in March on ABC, the biopic combines original photos, interviews with such peers as West Side Story's George Chakiris, and reenactments of Wood's life and, as the title suggests, eerie death by drowning in 1981. Though Waddell nailed the American accent with the help of a dialect coach, singing was another matter. ''I sang, and then they dubbed rather like Natalie,'' she laughs, referring to Wood's West Side vocal stand-in. ''I have my own Marni Nixon.''

Although traders might decide to trade nice plants for a handful of magic beans or to simply give their plants away, it isn't reasonable to expect them to & it's certainly not polite to simply state that you want their plants or to state that you *will* trade your offering for theirs.
When you request something, please remember to offer something in return, to *ask* the trader if your offer is agreeable, & to keep in mind the equibility of the trade. Example:
If I have something in mind to trade, I would make sure my offering is something equally as nice as the roses, maybe a couple of whiskey barrels or some such. & I'd ask the trader if she wants to trade;
A little thought & a little thoughtfulness will make our swap a happy experience for everyone, & I'm looking forward to seeing everyone enjoy the swap. |

forgot to include this thought: It isn't yours until your trade partner says it is. Do not take anything from anyone else's stuff until you are face-to-face with the person & the person agrees. Even if your name is on the box, find the trader & make sure she still wants to trade for what you're bringing (does anyone remember the year a newcomer brought just-sprouted plants? the plants were less than 1/2" tall, & she had to dig them out of their common pots to put them into individual pots; hardly anyone wanted to trade their healthy, well-rooted plants for those tiny, fragile seedlings). |
- Posted by sylviatexas (My Page) on Sun, Apr 6, 08 at 11:18
Although Brenda & Ruben are generous & always say, "we love doing this", it does cost them some money, so please bring them something for their trouble/expense (especially important if your party is a large one). |
Sylvia, how well put !!! I also like to think of it as an exchange of information from all the great gardeners that attend. For me, it is never what I get out of it, but feeling as if I have offered a fair trade and the other person is happy as well. It is almost time, and I know we will all enjoy it! Thank you for all you do to make it a success!!! |

If any one had a whiskey barrel to trade, I would be very happy to make it a great trade for them. I could not agree more about the ediquet post. I have witnessed some that were unfair to one trader, but they were too nice to refuse. Unfortunately, there seem to be some that don't get this message and are repeat offenders, if you will. christy |

I have a question on who is responsible for "packaging" the traded plants? I don't have enough boxes/tops for the plants I'm trading out - do I need to get more or is it up to the recipient to bring something to carry their plants? Lin |
Lin, I for one, will be able to provide containers for my plants, if this helps any. I am bringing the cannas bareroot, and just bringing newspaper for them to be wrapped in. Some things are just too difficult to pot up. Also, the aretemisia will have to be divided once I get there. |
- Posted by tina_2 zone8 tx (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Tue, Apr 8, 08 at 10:50
Hi - Well, I usually have most things potted. That, is the hardest part. Most traders, bring help or park near you - to load up. Especially, if it's a large trade. I like many other gardeners - always, bring a wagon. It really, helps me out. And sometimes, people ask to use it. My health issues, put a damper on lugging big pots of plants. So, you should not worry. There are usually, lots of helpers running around. Besides, gardeners are really helpful people. At one swap, a ladies young son offered to be my helper. thanks - tina_2 |
Everyone on planet Earth has plastic grocery bags stuffed in a drawer, closet, basket, crock or cranny somewhere around the house. If you don't have pots enough, a little earth, moist newspaper and a plastic gocery sack make great temporary pots. They keep the car clean too as you hurry home with your treasures. And if you tie them up right it's easy to get spouse and spouslings to help carry them to your garden for you. Cheryl |

I've traded plumeria for cherry tomato seedlings, brugmansia for seeds, bromeliads for unrooted cuttings.. It just depends on what you want in return. I'm bringing stuff that is extra out of my garden. Stuff I've rooted cause I can't throw anything out, pot up every tiny seedling, root cuttings I find in alleys or trash piles, I can't see a plant abandoned! I drag them home & wonder why. If you showed up at my house I'd give you a shovel & help you dig pretty much anything that can be divided. Or take cuttings of it. I try & bring home less than I take & one of these days may come home with nothing. Other people only want to trade like for like, a big rooted plant for the same thing. This is a personal choice. But me, I LIKE to trade a big blooming plumeria for a tomato seedling-the newbie that I traded with was soooo happy, and now she is rooting cuttings of that same plumeria & sharing it with others. It just makes you feel good to see someone so happy that they got a plant they adore & it cost you a pittance if anything. Potting soil is still pretty afordable and you can get empty pots from everywhere-everyone I know saves them for me. Warm fuzzies are the best thing in life and nothing is warmer than a happier gardener. Relax and enjoy the swaps, don't get uptight and freak out, make trades that make you happy, think about your plants going to new homes & brightening lives. |
- Posted by barkingdogwoods 8a (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 08 at 13:21
Thanks, all. Most of my plants are potted (Water plants and Cannas are the exception, but I may be able to get the cannas into a pot) - but I know how hard it can be to get things from one spot to your car, and thought I'd rely on the experience of previous exchanges to see what else I needed to bring. Lin |
- Posted by wildflowers4me 9/10 (My Page) on Tue, Apr 8, 08 at 14:20
I agree with Tally. Warm fuzzies for me. I usually just bring plants to give away because it makes people happy and that makes me happy. Some people need to be reminded that they are not to take plants off tables without asking, and not to take plants under tables or in carts or wagons because those are acquired plants from trades. All swappers feel differently about how they want to trade. If in doubt, ask the swapper. |
Sylvia, this is great info for all swaps, and should be kept at the top of this page. |
Tally is right and we have traded alot in the past and will in the future.......We want to trade for something good and unusual, but we will trade or give away alot of plants, just to hear a "THANK YOU". If no one has anything I need now, but I have something they want, I say they can owe me..........(whats up with the ICE thing Tally) David in Arlington |

I will definitely be buying this, assuming it comes to the US(probably will, I figure).
I wouldn't mind buying Totori and Meruru Plus for the Vita either.
Is it likely that the NIS America store will have an exclusive edition of this game or is it still to early to tell?
I'm probably passing on this. I still have two and a half unplayed PS3 Atelier titles sitting on my shelf, not to mention Qoga. They're just coming out too fast for me to keep up with.
That's always something I've liked about Gust. The company can produce good games of consistent quality at very regular intervals. I'm just waiting for the 3DS series expansion

Sharing Nursing's Knowledge: The August 2013 Issue
Have you signed up to receive Sharing Nursing's Knowledge? The monthly Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) e-newsletter will keep you up to date on the work of RWJF's nursing programs, and the latest news, research, and trends relating to academic progression, leadership, and other critically important nursing issues. These are some of the stories in the August issue:
Nurses Advocate for Health System Change
Like so many others, nurses, too, have bad personal experiences with the health care system—but several RWJF Scholars have turned those challenges into efforts to make positive change. They are using their experiences with violence, bullying, poor care coordination, and other health problems to advocate for more access, better care, and other reforms.
Nurse Leader Combats Cancer Among African Immigrant Women
After a difficult experience trying to get care for her mother, RWJF Community Health Leader Ifeanyi (Ify) Anne Nwabukwu's eyes were opened to the difficulties immigrants face accessing health care in the United States. Nwabukwu founded the African Women's Cancer Awareness Association, which aims to address disparities in awareness, prevention, and access to quality health care services. The Association opens its doors to all people, but targets African immigrant women, and especially those who are underserved or uninsured.
A Fast Track to Bachelor's Degrees in Nursing
A new initiative designed to ease the transition between associate and baccalaureate degree nursing programs opened its doors to its first class of students this summer. Based at the School of Nursing at California State University, Los Angeles, the program enables students with associate degrees in nursing to earn baccalaureate degrees in nursing in 12 months. Supporters say the program will eliminate redundant coursework, enhance diversity in the nursing workforce, and help develop more nurse leaders.

Certainly couldn't let that opportunity to remind us all he'd have been in first class pass by . . .
I know we have our problems with these people, but man oh man, they don't know what they are doing chicken-wise.
And hello to them finally showing series 4 of the UK version here in the US!
Wait so today is Hitler's bday, the anniversary of Columbine, the anniversary of the oil spill, and the day after Skynet became self-aware? Whoa, that's some bad juju.
That said, I thought the commercial was cute.
What I find weird is that the kid was on the Today Show the morning after the Superbowl. I mean, how did that get arranged? Even assuming he lives in NYC, did the booking person watch the ad and get in touch with him immediately to set up an interview at 7 the next morning? How could they have known that the ad would be such a "phenomenon" (eye roll) that it would require follow up interviews? I am assuming that Volkswagon pre-arranged the whole thing to garner more publicity for their commercial (ugh) and the Today Show, which I think still sometimes pretends to be a news show, went along with it (double ugh).

In a related story, the people on Hoarders have expressed concerns that the show makes them look "kinda weird" and "undateable."
How much did this little jokeroo cost, anyway? What did he do- take the golf cart to the pimp my ride place? Hire Banksy to paint the Wham! portraits? Does Brad Pitt even know where to procure pink balloons? He probably hasn't even been in an actual store since Thelma & Louise.

- The High Evolutionary intends to build a god fit for the twenty-first century. And you will be his raw materials.
- -- High Evolutionary src
As a student in the 1920s, Herbert Wyndham was inspired by the work of Nathaniel Essex to perform his own genetic experiments, evolving rats in his parents' basement. Later, when he attended a conference in Geneva, Wyndham was approached by a disguised Inhuman, who gave Wyndham the secrets for unlocking genetic codes. As a result, he created a serum that allowed for genetic alteration, but his controversial work got him expelled from Oxford University[2].
However, Wyndham joined with another fellow scientist, Jonathan Drew to continue his work, and they set up base in Transia on Wundagore Mountain in a futuristic citadel that his Inhuman contact gave him a workforce of Moloids to build. Drew's daughter Jessica Drew became ill thanks to their proximity to the mountain's reserves of uranium, and she was treated by a combination of spider serum and Wyndham's evolutionary technology and placed in suspended animation. This process would later result in Jessica becoming the superheroine known as Spider-Woman[3].
Drew's wife was killed by a werewolf, Gregor Russoff, and died, while Wyndham survived the same attack. Jonathan left Wundagore, and Wyndham constructed a suit of advanced armor to protect himself. Soon after this, aided by a new assistant Miles Warren, Wyndham created the New Men by evolving animals into humanoid forms. Jonathan returned to Wundagore possessed by the sorceror Magnus, who warned him that the mountain was the banishing place of the demon Chthon, though the scientifically-minded Wyndham scoffed at this - albeit Magnus convinced Wyndham to teach the New Men a chivalry code as ethics.[citation needed] One of the New Men was the Inheritor, an evolved cockroach who developed megalomania and, unlike his peers, refused to follow Wyndham's orders and chivalry code. Wyndham reacted by banishing him to outer space.[4]
Russoff used the mystical book the Darkhold to try and cure his lycanthropy, and in the process freed Chthon. Wyndham, now known as the High Evolutionary, and the New Men, now known as the Knights of Wundagore fought the demon, banishing him again. However, at that moment, a pregnant woman Magda gave birth to twins Wanda and Pietro on the mountain, in the citadel, and Chthon's power touched them, giving him a conduit into the world. The twins would grow up to become the mutant superheroes the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
The High Evolutionary's New Man Bova first tried to pass the twins on to Robert Frank, whose wife had died in childbirth[5], before giving them to a gypsy couple who had lost their own children[6].
After clashes with the heroes Thor[7] and the Hulk[8], the High Evolutionary decided to launch his citadel into space. There, Wyndham temporarily evolved himself into a disembodied intelligence[9]. He later devolved himself back into his normal form, but now had powers, including the ability to evolve or devolve other creatures at will.
When Galactus discovered the existence of Counter-Earth, the High Evolutionary created another army of New Men and sent Gorr to acquire the help of the Fantastic Four against the world eater and its herald, the Destroyer[10].

Children and Chores
I've been seeing posts as of late about what age is appropriate to assign chores for their kids to do around the house, and it got me thinking about whether or not I should start "a chore list" with my almost 5 year old.
Granted, I ask him to help me with things…cleaning up toys, bringing his dishes to the sink after supper…but easy things that I know he can do without hurting himself, breaking anything, or making a bigger mess.
It is true that kids need to learn how to be responsible and at the same time feel needed and making a contribution to the family, but how do you know what age that should start?
My son received an amazing gift for his 4th birthday last year. It was a Melissa and Doug Monthly Magnetic Calendar.
He loves it. It comes with so many fun magnets: first day of school, first day of camp, go to the doctor, go to the park, and our new favourite….clean my room!
Z decided when we were doing the month of June, that the 'clean my room' magnet should be put to use. I thought to myself, "If he wanted to do it, then great! A perfect age to start!"
We've started with the easy stuff. First, was to clean the floor in his closet from all of the toys. Second, was to make his bed every morning and he is! Okay, we've forgotten a few times….note to self: Consistency is key.
On Saturday he asked if we can play in the basement and I told him as soon as I clean the living room and put the laundry away…when I got back from doing the laundry, the room was clean! Everything had been put away. He did it by himself without me having to ask and when I came downstairs and saw what he did, he noticed the look of pride I had on my face. It made him so happy that he was involved and helped.
I took to Pinterest after hearing about "chore charts" and "age appropriate chores". I couldn't believe the amount of different ideas you could find!! http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=kids%20chores
Like so many other things in a kids life, they have to be ready and willing to do it. Nagging just won't get us anywhere.
So start your list, have some fun and remember…have some patience! Because that thing that takes you 2 minutes to do…will now take 30!
What age did you start asking your kids to help out around the house?

Corporate foundations gave an estimated $4.4-billion to charity last year, a 3-percent decline from 2007 after adjusting for inflation, according to a new report.
And giving this year is expected to be down again, with slightly more than half of the corporate foundations surveyed anticipating a drop in contributions.
"We're going to see even more of the effects of the economic downturn in 2009," says Steven Lawrence, senior director of research at the Foundation Center, the New York organization that published the report. "Especially as a result of the mergers and upheavals in the banking and finance industry, we're likely to see more dramatic cutbacks and foundations ceasing to exist."
The Foundation Center examined nearly 2,500 corporate foundations for its report.
The study did not include donations made directly from corporations themselves, gifts that account for the bulk of corporate largesse. In 2007, when corporate foundations also gave about $4.4-billion, Giving USA, the annual tally of American philanthropy, reported that businesses gave a total of $15.7-billion.
The Foundation Center figures also do not include gifts from so-called operating foundations, grant-making organizations commonly established by drug companies to distribute medicine to low-income Americans. Thirteen of the biggest such groups made in-kind gifts in 2007 worth $2.6-billion, according to the Foundation Center.
The Foundation Center's new report says that giving by corporate foundations has grown more slowly over the last couple decades than other types of grant makers.
Donations from community foundations increased nearly six-fold from 1990 through last year, while private, or independent, foundations, more than tripled their giving.
Gifts from corporate foundations, by comparison, grew 90 percent (or less than double) during the same time.
Banking and Finance Institutions Likely to Decrease Giving
Corporate foundation giving declined as a share of all foundation giving from 17 percent in 1990 to 10 percent last year. And that share may continue to drop, according to the Foundation Center's Mr. Lawrence.
He says that corporate foundations are less likely to hold assets they can draw from when money is tight, and companies are subject to pressure from stockholders who may prefer a strict focus on business rather than philanthropy.
"The good news is that we hear the leadership of corporate foundations say they continue to take very seriously their responsibility as corporate citizens of their communities and the world," Mr. Lawrence says. "But when profits are down and shareholders see the value of stock go down, it may be hard to continue to provide all that support."
Especially vulnerable, he says, is the banking and finance industry, which has typically accounted for the biggest single chunk of giving by various types of businesses — about 25 percent.
"Three of the top five corporate foundations are facing very challenging situations," he says, referring to the Bank of America, Wachovia, and Citigroup, which together gave away a total of $382-million through their foundations in 2007. "This is definitely a pressure point where we expect to see the impact of the economy."
The Foundation Center's report offered an estimated giving figure for last year, but the bulk of the data focused on 2007 for which audited figures were available.
For that year, corporate foundations distributed an average of $1.76-million in total grants. And one out of every five of the nearly 2,500 grant makers gave away at least $1-million. A quarter of all gifts went to education causes.

What do you like most about your job as a Chat Host?
I love talking to new people that I would not normally get the opportunity too. Sharing in their experiences and getting to know them. Talking to them about their kids, their hols, their problems and new projects; everything.
It's fab having a good ole natter and a laugh with roomies. It feels like I've known them for years.
It's like a big extended family.
I also love when a roomie wins a big jackpot. The friendly and happy atmosphere in the room when that happens.

Depression Home
Doug didn't know what was happening to him. Ordinarily an outgoing person, he had begun spending his free time alone in his room. Life seemed to provide no pleasure. Even food didn't taste as good as before. He couldn't bring himself to study, and his grades were beginning to reflect it. His friends were starting to worry about him. He always seemed to be sleeping, and when he was awake he seemed distant, humorless and aloof. Normally cheerful, he could be seen crying over "little things." At times, feelings of guilt would almost overwhelm him. For the first time in his life, Doug was considering suicide. Doug was suffering from a deep depression.
At any point in time, 10 percent of the adult population is suffering from serious depression. On these pages is information which we hope will provide help and encouragement.

"There's not much new material"
There is nothing wrong with this book. I would be quite interesting to someone new to Dawkins. If you have read many of his books and watched the BBC specials, then you are already familiar with a good portion of the story.
I would have said his performance was excellent except that I went to an appearance where he read from the book. His performance in person was quite funny, lively and emotional. The Audible read was more reserved.
I found the book didn't grab my attention until he wrote about his graduate work and beyond. It seemed to end abruptly as well. I have a feeling an authorized 3rd person biography would be much more interesting.
You know you're going to read it anyway. Why bother reading these reviews? It's good, it's just not his best
"not his best"
The Trouble With Physics: is still one of my favorite books. Read it first if you haven't already.
"ask: was the study double blind"
eye opening how irresponsible the media is when publishing a story
yes. andrew wakefield should be held accountable for the damage he has caused.
the rest of the mail order quacks should be publicly ridiculed for their nonsense. I'm talking about you Chopra
"a masterpeice"
I'm extremely picky about which audio books I download so they are all really good or I return them. This one stands apart. I could easily rank it in my top 5
Richard Lenski's experiment
The timbre of his voice and the refinement of the performance is "like wiping your ass with silk"
"a history of time"
only an intelligent friend that enjoys both history and science
I liked the timeline of timekeeping and it's effects on society
honestly I think Adam frank did a better job explaining time that Sean Carroll did in his book. The two books are very different though
"If you don't know who he is, look him up"
yes. it's a great book. It is a tad brief but still enjoyable
""eat if Joe Rogan""
my 3 word summary: people believe that?
It was eye opening. I had no idea how far people's marbles were rolling.
I laughed a lot
follow his blog at discovermagazine
"The best book so far on explaining beliefs"
without hesitation. It allows the reader to look at different beliefs/superstitions from the outside
"one of my favorites"
the tone and pacing of the book were just right. I listened to it with my 7 year old
bayesian statistical predictions.
I am being forced to write additional words to meet a 15 word minimum even though I was asked to sum up the book in 3 words
just read it. it's fun for all ages!


text: Impressionistic and bold, the nine stories in this collection frame the middle period of Chekhov's career. Exploring both complicated and intense emotions, Chekhov presents a world without simple answers or universal truths. "Ward No. 6″ is a savage indictment of the medical profession. "The Black Monk," the story of a scholar who has strange hallucinations, explores ideas of genius and insanity. "A Woman's Kingdom" and "Three Years" show women discovering that money, marriage, and choices do not necessarily bring happiness. In "Murder" religious fervor leads to violence, while in "The Student" a young man recounts a tale from the gospels and undergoes a sudden spiritual epiphany. Also in this volume are "The Grasshopper," "Adriana," and "The Two Volodyas."

Students Gear Up for New Bachelor's Program at Cape Fear
Next week, more than 30 students will begin classes for a new bachelor's degree program at Cape Fear Community College.
The program is in partnership with Wesleyan College and offer degrees in business administration and elementary education.
Evan Duff is vice president of adult education at Wesleyan. The school has agreements with several community colleges across North Carolina allowing students with associate degrees to transfer their credits to Wesleyan's four-year programs.
But he says that housing the initiative on Cape Fear's northern and downtown campuses is a new approach.
"This is the first partnership in several years where we're physically offering the degrees on their campus accommodating their students. So, this is kind of the first of its kind for the college."
He says many students with an associate degree in applied science, from two-year vocational programs at Cape Fear, have trouble finding four-year colleges that accept their credit hours.
"Schools, public and private, are very limited with the amount of credit they will accept from an Associate of Applied Sciences student. Typically, they don't transfer in a lot of their credit hours because they're more technical in nature."
With the Wesleyan program, students can transfer up to 64 of their credit hours, which is the maximum amount that a four-year school can accept for a two-year degree.
An additional 60 students are in the process of applying for the program, which will start classes every eight weeks.

Maybe being taken for a ride isn't such a bad thing after all.
With the Route 59 expansion project under way, the city of Naperville and Pace are offering a new free ride program this summer for those who use the Route 59 Metra station and are looking for options to shorten their commute and help reduce some of the congestion associated with the construction project.
As part of the program, Pace bus routes from three of the city's park-and-ride lots to the Route 59 Metra station will be free every weekday for Pace Routes 672, 673 and 675. Parking at the park-and-ride lots is free, and Pace service to the Route 59 Metra station runs express without stops.
The three park-and-ride lots include:
95th Street: located at 91st Street and Wolfs Crossing Road (Pace Route 672)
Community Christian Church: located on Emerson Lane near Ogden Avenue and Rickert Drive (Pace Route 673)
Wheatland Salem Church: located at 95th Street and Book Road (Pace Route 675)
Those who choose to utilize the park-and-ride lots as part of the free ride promotion can have their Route 59 parking permit suspended. The permit may be reinstated at anytime at no additional cost to the permit holder.
The free ride program began Tuesday and will run until Aug. 29.

Federal Political Action Committees
What is a Federal Political Action Committee (PAC)?
The term "political action committee" (PAC) refers to two distinct types of political committees registered with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC): separate segregated funds (SSFs) and nonconnected committees.
SSFs are political committees established and administered by corporations, labor unions, membership organizations or trade associations. These committees can only solicit contributions from individuals associated with connected or sponsoring organizations.
Nonconnected committees are not sponsored by or connected to any of the aforementioned entities and are free to solicit contributions from the general public.
Does a Federal Political Action Committee (PAC) have to register with your office?
A political committee that is subject to reporting under both Section 1-45-108, C.R.S. and the Federal Election Commission Act of 1971 must register with our office as a Federal PAC and file disclosure reports.
To determine whether or not you need to register with our office, see Rule 1.18, which defines a political committee. A political committee is a person or group of persons with a major purpose of supporting or opposing the nomination or election of one or more candidates. For the purposes of Rule 1.18, major purpose means:
The organization specifically identifies supporting or opposing the nomination of one or more candidates for state or local public office as a primary objective in its organizing documents; or Annual expenditures made to support or oppose the nomination or election of one or more candidates for state or local public office are a majority of the organizations' total spending during the same period.
If a person or group of persons does not meet these major purpose tests, they are not considered a political committee under Colorado campaign finance law and are not required to register and file disclosure reports.
How do I register our Political Action Committee with you?
Before registering make sure that you have:
The committee name and any acronyms that you will use. A registered agent. The registered agent's email address and phone number. Physical and mailing addresses for the committee's principal place of business. A description of your committee's purpose. This information should be detailed, including candidates, ballot measure numbers, or policy positions that you will support or oppose. Financial information, including the name of the bank where the committee has or will have an account.
To register:
Go to the TRACER campaign finance disclosure website. Click on the "Committee Registration" button. Select "Federal PAC", then click on "Next". Fill out the form. When you are finished, click on "Submit". Print a copy of the form for your records. Click on "Finished" to complete your registration. Login information will be sent to the registered agent's email address.
If you need help using TRACER, see Learn to Use TRACER.
I have more questions.
See the Federal Political Action Committee FAQs.

Every once in awhile I like to post a readers email and challenge ya'll to help them come up with ideas for their next big event. This time DeBran needs help…..she wrote this:
"I love your site and love throwing parties but I am completely stumped on a baby shower I am throwing for a good friend in September. Her hubby is a firefighter and she is doing the nursery accordingly. She loves everything about decorating w/firefighter theme, so I know she'd like a shower based around that theme. I, however, want it to be unpredictable, sophisticated rather than cutesy, and just really beautiful and amazing. haha…no big deal, right?? So I am looking for some great ideas for something along those lines, maybe just some firefighter touches, but not the whole thing? Thanks so much for your time and your fabulous ideas for everything!!"
So, in the comment section please write our your ideas for her. Put links to possible resources or post a link using inlinkz to a party that she might find helpful for her firefighter baby shower.
I'm going to kick things off by saying that I think using a vintage firefighter motif would make it more sophisticated. And since it's for a baby shower, the idea of bringing in some vintage toys could be fun as well. Like this vintage firefighter toy truck…
So…gals what are your ideas? I can't wait to hear what all you fabulous ladies think of!

I got this hibiscus from lowes ,end of march 07,,it bloomed like crazy for almost a month and then totally stopped..last week i went and got some miracle grow bloom booster acc to the advise of those who help in the garden center at lowes..and fed all my plants with a highly diluted mixture of this..so far nothing much has happened.!
there is a lot of new grow as well as yellowing of leaves.,even my salvias are refusing to bloom ..only thick green foliage..what could be the reason..??????? also can someone look at the pics and tell me what kind of hibiscus is it ? the pic was taken 2 weeks after i got the plant home..it was so pretty then..! |
Here is a link that might be useful: picasaweb
Follow-Up Postings:
Wow, a ? I might actually be able to answer! I'm totally new to Hibiscus (hibiscuses is plural?) and I found this forum to ask my own ????'s. However, I did read something just a few minutes ago about how to take care of plants that aren't blooming. Go to this website http://www.fancyhibiscus.com/ and on the left side of the page scroll all the way down and click on A Growing Plan. I guess these are heavy feeders? Good luck! Christina |

- Posted by jenny_in_se_pa USDA7 Sunset 32 (My Page) on Tue, May 29, 07 at 9:25
Hibiscuses bloom on new growth so the ferts would encourage more growth, which has to mature before it goes into a bloom cycle once more. Often nurseries, big box stores, etc., get them from greenhouses right when the controlled growth that occurred after fall/winter pruning has matured to get them in bloom for sale. Basically you have to be a little patient now while it does its growth spurt before it will be ready to bloom again. Don't be too concerned about yellowing/dropping leaves as they will do this when their environment changes (amount of water, sun, temperature). and the stems will resprout new leaves eventually. In any case, that's a pretty one and I wish you luck with your "baby"! :) |

The wholesaler I buy this cultivar just calls it rose. I am not sure if there is a specific name other than that. They are gross feeders and prefer more potassium and less phosphorus inspite of what the folks at Lowes may say. It doesn't mean that what you have won't work but I would consider getting a 3-1-2 ratio fert to alternate with your present fert regime. Also they seem to like an extra kick if magnesium so add a tbsp. of epsom salt every other feeding to keep the green leaves healthier and better able to protect themselves from pests. Good Luck and Happy Growing David |
