The great thing about consumer sentiment about organic food is that it appears to be unprompted. Marketers are not making false claims as to nutrition, calories, et cet. But when consumers hear organic, they see "better." It is what it is; somehow, a heckuva step up from non-organic.
But wait. Just as spinmeisters are polishing the golden halo of organic food, another uncooperative advocacy group is pointing out what they consider flaws in the regulation of organic fruit.
In the past week, I received this e-mail about the use of antibiotics in apple and pear production. From the news release:
Portland, OR—Consumers Union, the policy arm of Consumer Reports, Food & Water Watch, and the Center for Food Safety are urging the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB) to discontinue the use of antibiotics in organic apple and pear production, citing the potential undermining of the integrity of the organic label and threats to public health and consumer expectations. The NOSB—which meets in Portland, Oregon, this week—will vote on a petition to extend the use of oxytetracyline beyond the existing expiration date of October 21, 2014.
New data from a poll commissioned by Consumer Reports confirms that most consumers do not know that the USDA organic label can be found on foods produced with antibiotics and don't believe they should be allowed to carry that label if antibiotics were used. Specifically:
• When asked whether antibiotics are used to treat disease in apple and pear trees, two-thirds (68 percent) of people said they don't know, 17 percent said they don't think they are, and 15 percent said that antibiotics are used.
• When told that apple and pear trees can be sprayed with antibiotics to treat disease and then asked whether fruit from these trees should be allowed to have an "organic" label, more than half--54 percent--said they don't think they should be labeled as organic. Only 11 percent of thought they should be labeled as organic, and slightly more than one-third (35 percent) answered that they don't know if they should be labeled organic.

Leaf Season
Curbside Leaf Collection takes place mid-October to mid-January each year. During this period, residents may place "loose" leaves behind the curb for collection. Peak period occurs between mid-November and Christmas and collection takes longer. Your patience during this time is greatly appreciated.
- Loose leaves are collected by crews using vacuum machines. To insure city-wide coverage, established routes have been developed and are pre-assigned. Your neighborhood will be serviced as quickly as possible.
- To expedite pickup, especially during peak season, putting leaves in bags, sheets, roll-outs or other containers enables compost crews to pick them up on your regular yard waste day.
PLEASE NOTE: It is UNLAWFUL and a VIOLATION of CITY CODE to place, sweep or blow leaves and other yard waste into the curb, gutter, street, storm drains or catch basins. Warning notices will be issued to violators, with tickets issued to repeat offenders. Materials MUST be placed behind the curb for collection.
Please do not place leaves over water meters or utility boxes.
The employees in the Environmental Services Division are pleased to provide this service to you. We request your cooperation and patience as we work to Keep Wilson Clean and Green!

Today has been everything the Summer Holidays should be.
I think we all look back nostalgically and reminisce about the long summer holidays where we were out from morning until night with only a bottle of pop and a bag of chips to keep us going whilst we biked our way around the neighbourhood. We bemoan the fact our kids don't have it as good as we did that times have changed yadda yadda.
Well today my lovelies we had the perfect day. We left the house at 9am and got back at 8pm. The best bit is, it cost us NOTHING.
We are lucky to have an amazing park nearby that also happens to be exactly half way between our house and that of a good NCT friend so it makes sense to meet there.
The park is perfect - in the centre you have a children's play area that is based around a huge wooden pirate ship, this in turn is surrounded by sand and water fountains that provide hours of fun as children build tunnels and towns and re-direct water and make dams. Once they have had enough of that there are zip wires, tunnels and climbing walls. It truly caters for all ages and once the play area is exhausted, there is tennis, football, rounders and a skate park.
Despite being the perfect park, it doesn't get to busy and you can quite literally, let the kids run wild.
We arrived at 11am and had a wonderful time, breaking about 1pm for Margarita pizzas eaten straight out of the box, piping hot with cheese dripping down the kids chins. We had a break for ice creams and then my oldest school friend who happens to live close by was also in the park and invited us back to tea so we ended up playing cricket in her garden until 7pm.
On the way back we stopped at the farm shop to buy some duck eggs for breakfast and all 3 kids had a bath to get rid of the sun and fell into their beds - tired, happy and loving life!
Peace and Love

Rated 3 out of 5�by Ms1Sassy Cute Blazer
I loved the color of this jacket, however I thought that it ran small. I ordered the 00 and found it to be extremely snug. I have another bebe blazer in a 0 and one in a 4. I think you will definitely go a size up in this number. I am a 32ddd but the chest area fit fine, it was under the arms & shoulders that were to tight.

Rated 5 out of 5�by FloridaGirl Stunning!
This jacket is much nicer than depicted. I purchased a size 4 in white. Just wait till you get it on. I had to professionally steam the jacket myself, since it came wrinkled, but once you get it on you will be astounded. First of all, I was wearing a pair of jeans when I got it, so when I put it on, I realized that it even looked great with ripped jeans. The only reason I originally purchased this jacket is because I needed a white jacket to wear with a Herve Leger bandage dress that I own. So when I put the jacket on, I realized I could wear it almost everywhere! It's so versatile. You can wear it for many different occasions. For example, you can go from the office out to dinner, go dancing, wear it to church or temple service, or even shopping at the mall. This is an amazing jacket. It seemed to run a little small but I could still wear the size 4 that I normally take. Thanks BEBE for this amazing jacket. I have plans to wear this one a lot!

The All-Stars Light The Fuse
A night of combo dances brings Melissa to the top.
With no results show this week, Dancing with the Stars turned its attention to matters in the outside world. There were a couple of cute bumper segments leading into commercial breaks which impersonated negative political ads about the contestants, and Tom Bergeron spent the evening hyping the issue of Sandy relief.
But the final seven, to their credit, worked hard to make the week's fusion theme a relative success, even though no one will be going home based just on Monday night (scores this week will once again carry over to next week, when two will go home). No one was truly disappointing, not even Kirstie Alley, who is pretty overmatched at this point and seemed to spend much of her time in recent days collecting hurricane relief supplies.
Kirstie and Maksim Chmerkovskiy were tasked with fusing the quickstep and the samba, but while she's been notoriously bad on quickstep in her two seasons, that part of the dance actually worked decently, probably because she practiced it more. The samba, however, looked like it was left by the wayside as she worked on her Sandy duties. To her credit, she admitted she hadn't done well, even saying that her score of 24 was "generous" (the three 8s she received were the only scores that low given out all night to anybody).
Kelly Monaco and Valentin Chmerkovskiy are still lost in love, which might have hampered them with their foxtrot/cha cha fusion. There was a good foxtrot section at the beginning, but the rest of it seemed a little disorganized, and Kelly did a lot of spinning that didn't seem to have much to do with either dance. The judges gave her three 9s, which made this one of the night's lesser dances, but even so, it came across as a bit of an overscore.
It looks like Apolo Ohno and Karina Smirnoff have patched things up permanently, so hooray. They had to fuse the paso doble and cha cha, but despite dramatic bleep-filled rehearsal sections, the dance went well, with the pair getting three 9s that might have been a little better had they not performed first. The transition was not as seamless as with some of the better pairs, but there was plenty of flair, punctuated by Apolo taking his shirt off (we knew that was coming eventually). Every little bit helps with the voters – you could tell everyone remaining was spooked by Sabrina Bryan getting voted off.
No one helped himself this week more than Emmitt Smith, who had the good fortune of going back to what's been his favorite dance, the samba. What was surprising, and probably surprised partner Cheryl Burke after some iffy rehearsal footage, was that he did so well transitioning in and out of the slower rumba. Carrie Ann Inaba had some issues with his upper body and gave him a 8.5, but the other two judges loved Emmitt, giving him 9.5s. He's still going to have his work cut out from here on it – he has more obvious trouble spots than the other males remaining – but this week helped.
I'm not sure how the intensity of Gilles Marini is coming across with the voting public. Wanting to win this much isn't always such an attractive quality. He and Peta Murgatroyd got to close the non-marathon portion of the evening with a combo Argentine tango/samba. Gilles is Mr. Tango, and arguably stressed that dance a little too much – the samba was about as minimal as you can get and still have it be a fusion. A trio of 9.5s kept him near the top, but he might be coasting on reputation a little bit.
Melissa Rycroft and Tony Dovolani still have this way of fading into the background for me unless she's battling a potentially crippling injury. The judges seem to be becoming bigger fans than ever, though, giving her a 29 this week (with a 10 from Carrie Ann) for a tango/cha cha that really didn't come across as anything worthy of those numbers. The cha cha in particular looked very perfunctory, which is a surprise because it's not like she can't handle it athletically.
Would Shawn Johnson be hampered this week by Mark Ballas having to step in for the recuperating Derek Hough? Not in the least. After all, Mark was her partner in Season 8, and Derek sill handled all the choreography for the tango/paso doble fusion. She might have been lucky in that these two dances go together fairly seamlessly, but it was still an easy choice as the night's best – the 30 from the judges shows they agreed. I'm still on board with Shawn as the favorite to win this season, if Derek (who says he will be back next week) doesn't keep getting on Len Goodman's bad side.
There was plenty of filler this week (two-hour show with just seven contestants yet), highlighted by a swing dance marathon at the end, with the finalist getting bonuses from 4 to 10 points depending on when they got tapped out. Kirstie getting bounced first was no surprise, but she was soon followed by Gilles (not necessarily a stellar freestyler) and Apolo. Emmitt and Shawn followed, leaving Kelly and Melissa. Lifts were allowed in the marathon, but even by those standards, Kelly seemed to be surviving based more on gimmicks than on genuine swing. The judges eventually saw it that way, giving Melissa the win and Kelly a very needed 9 points as a consolation prize.
What did you think of this week, especially the decision to go without results for the second time in three weeks?

Former Bank Vice President Pleads Guilty To Embezzlement
Orlando, Florida - Sharon Williams (51, Orlando) pleaded guilty today to theft, embezzlement or misapplication by a bank officer. She faces a maximum penalty of 30 years in federal prison.
According to the plea agreement, Williams was the Vice-President of SunTrust Bank's Real Estate Construction Administration. From October 2004 to October 2011, she used her position to steal more than $200,000 from various accounts at the bank. Williams would prepare debit tickets that made it appear as if a transaction was being done for a commercial client. In fact, the money was transferred to one of Williams' personal accounts. To conceal her thefts, Williams signed the approvals for the transactions herself and wrote on the majority of the tickets that the transactions were for "inspection fees" or "fees." Her theft was detected after a bank employee discovered a $5,615 debit from a general ledger account on October 5, 2011 was deposited into an account that belonged to Williams. Williams was terminated from her employment.
This case was investigated by the United States Secret Service. It is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg.

Breakfast Topic: Way better than my first time
I am leveling what will hopefully be my sixth level 80. It is my ninth character slot on my main server, leaving one spot for a worgen druid. I really like leveling. The term "altoholic" has been thrown around -- but once they get to 80, I stop caring about them. It's the leveling process that I really enjoy. It seems leveling gets better and better each time I attempt it. I light up every time I get level achievements, and I love that feeling of getting a mount for the first time.
For this alt, I have decided to level like it's my first toon with some semi old-school restrictions. My current alt is a 27 dwarf paladin, and I cannot use the dungeon finder nor run with heirlooms. I didn't give my alt gold or bags. I am not buying or training for riding skill until level 40 and epic at 60. I am trying to stay in the natural quest progression (I did run to Elwynn Forest to kill Hogger, but I didn't take the quests) provided by the game. This is incredibly hard. At 27, I have exhausted every possible quest in Wetlands at my level, and none of the quests have sent me on to another zone.
Why do this? With all my alts, each leveling experience became easier. I haven't leveled the same class twice, and each time I level an alt, it seems I can complete quests at a much higher level then I did before. Even as a mage, I could handle red-leveled mobs, but as a paladin, I have been running all my quests when they are still orange or red. Maybe it's an understanding I didn't have when I started or I am better skilled for leveling. Either way, every time I level a toon, it's way better than the last time or even the first.
Am I crazy for leveling under such "harsh" conditions? Do you have nostalgia for old-school leveling? Is there one part of leveling you love? What classes are the easiest to level? Are paladins OP when it comes to soloing content?
Have you ever wanted to write for WoW.com? Your chance may be right around the corner. Watch for our next call for submissions for Breakfast Topics via Seed, the Aol guest writer program that brings your words to WoW.com. The next byline you see here may be yours!

Appeals court affirms decision
By MIKE CORN
By MIKE CORN
A Kansas Court of Appeals panel has affirmed a decision by Senior Judge Jack Lively, turning aside Logan County's request to let it poison prairie dogs where endangered black-footed ferrets have been reintroduced.
The decision, handed down Friday, leaves in place a restraining order effectively limiting any poisoning of prairie dogs to a 90-foot barrier surrounding the nearly 10,000-acre complex where the ferrets have been reintroduced.
The three-judge Appeals Court panel heard oral arguments on the case in May during a hearing in Larned.
The court's ruling essentially mirrored what Wichita attorney Randy Rathbun -- representing Logan County landowners Bette and Larry Haverfield and Gordon Barnhardt -- said was at the heart of the case.
"I think the judges understand this is a problem with a state statute flying right in the face of the Endangered Species Act," he said immediately after the hearing.
Jim McVay, Logan County's attorney, sought to strike a middle ground in the wake of Lively's decision upholding an existing restraining order against Logan County.
The Endangered Species Act, the court said in its opinion, "preempts the county from a unilateral eradication of all prairie dogs within the complex. An eradication as authorized ... would destroy the food supply and habitat of the black-footed ferret, constituting an unlawful taking under ESA."
Eradicating some of the prairie dogs, the judges went on to say, "can only be addressed with the participation of necessary federal authorities through negotiation or federal litigation.
"A state court with only state actors lacks jurisdiction to resolve the underlying issues. Consequently, the district court's imposition of an injunction will not be disturbed."

Brilliantly Disguised Opportunities The theme for the 2013 Annual Meeting is "Brilliantly Disguised Opportunities" — focusing on understanding the many challenges on higher education's horizon and seeing them as opportunities in disguise. How will Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and the growing global demand for education change our lives as teachers? How will disappearing print journals, open access models, and other advances in scholarly publishing change our lives as researchers? How will the increasing demand for accountability and related financial pressures on tuition levels, student loan debt, state tax support and philanthropy change our colleges and universities? How can we help invent a better future? Come to Anaheim and join in the discussion.
Submission Information Submissions can be made in the areas noted below. For accepted submissions, all participants will be required to register for the meeting, and pay associated registration fees.
Note: You will need your AAA member ID to submit a paper for the Annual Meeting. If you have forgotten your AAA member ID, CLICK HERE to retrieve it. If you are not a AAA member, CLICK HERE to obtain a unique identifier for submission purposes.
To track your submission, you will need to create a user ID and password during the submission process. You will need this information to update and/or access the status of your submission.

Faculty-Student Collaborations in Accounting — Submission Deadline: May 5, 2013 The goal of this workshop is to explore and discuss collaborations between accounting faculty and undergraduate or masters students. The following are some examples of faculty-student collaborations:
Volunteers: The Program Advisory Committee strongly encourages all members to consider volunteering to serve as reviewers, paper discussants, and session moderators. If you are submitting a paper or proposal for the 2013 Annual Meeting, please consider "giving back" to the community by volunteering to serve in one or more of these roles.
Concurrent Paper and Research Forum Sessions — Submission Deadline: January 9, 2013 Submissions are made by section/topic area. Submissions to any section that are deemed to be within the purview of another section category will be redirected to the more appropriate section for review. Please Note: Authors may submit more than one paper to the Annual Meeting. However, it is considered an abuse of valuable reviewer and liaison time to submit the same paper to more than one Section Designation. Submitting the same paper to multiple Sections will disqualify your submission from consideration.
Section-Sponsored Concurrent Panel Sessions — Submission Deadline: January 9, 2013 Submissions are made by section/topic area. Submitters are responsible for populating the panel, extending invitations, and hosting participants, as appropriate. Note: If your proposal is on a topic that is non-section or cross-section focused and of general, wide-spread interest to all members, please email your panel idea to one of the Team Leaders of the At-Large Sessions Team on the Program Advisory Committee.
New Scholar Concurrent Sessions — Submission Deadline: January 9, 2013 New Scholar Concurrent Sessions provide junior faculty members constructive feedback on their research prior to submission to academic journals. Faculty earning their Ph.D. in 2008 or after and current Ph.D. students are eligible to submit papers for consideration. Submitted papers in this category are peer reviewed. Senior researchers in each area will critique papers accepted for the New Scholar Concurrent sessions and provide feedback in small interactive sessions with authors. In addition, individuals whose papers are accepted for the New Scholar Concurrent Sessions will be asked to review and critique another accepted paper.
Pre-Conference Workshops and Symposia (CPE Sessions) — Submission Deadline: January 9, 2013 These sessions comprise full- and half-day workshops, providing opportunities for in-depth attention and study of more complex issues and topics.
Effective Learning Strategies Sessions (ELS) — Submission Deadline: April 8, 2013 These sessions offer an interactive format for presenters to have an intimate forum for exchange of ideas and resources that support learning in accounting. Refer to the Poster Session Presentation Guidelines for more information.
Emerging and Innovative Research Sessions — Submission Deadline: April 8, 2013 These sessions are intended to highlight promising emerging and innovative research ideas.

Many of our local churches host Watch Night services to ring in the new year. It's a proud and deeply rooted tradition that let's us count the blessings of this past year, reckon with those things we wish to let go, then free ourselves of limitations as we imagine a new year filled with possibility.
For the Burton Street Community, the blessings of 2011 are worth mentioning.
In early 2011, we continued implementation of our newly developed neighborhood plan by hosting our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service. A crew of Americorp members and community volunteers braved the chilly weather to start the clean-up of Smith Mill Creek on the northern border of the Burton Street Community. (Stay tuned for info about this years Day of Service!)
Starting in early Spring, the Peace Gardens held their first annual seed & plant sales. Enough funds were raised to pay for much needed greenhouse supplies and the spring & summer seed purchase. Many thanks to the community for their love & support!
As Summer drew near, Luke Perry & Asheville Design Center launched the area's first Design-Build Studio. Building on the ideas of re-use and re-purposing found throughout the community, a group of college students (lead by Luke Perry) designed and built a unique and functional outdoor learning center overlooking the Peace Gardens. Since completion, the project has garnered national attention: check out this article!
And, we hope you were all with us at this year's Burton Street Agriculture Fair and Farmer's Jubilee. We had such a good time. Consider helping out this year!
As 2011 drew to a close, a dedicated group of folks put some finishing touches on plans for a technology center and solar panel installation imagined at The Burton Street Recreation Center. Asheville Design Center continues to be a treasured community partner and we look forward to closer ties and exciting projects as 2012 unfolds.
We welcome 2012 and are eager to continue the great works of our community! We welcome newcomers, bid farewell to those who are leaving, and create closer and closer ties between neighbors.
REMEMBER: Community meetings are the 3rd Monday of each month at 6 pm. All meetings are held at the Burton Street Recreation Center, unless otherwise posted. Hope to see you there!

Learning to help your kids love winter is a snap when they're wearing the right apparel. We love this jacket as it allows you to outfit your teen with a highly functional piece that survives the fashion crucible without costing a fortune. The Iconic Jacket is sized to fit girls up to the age of 18, with a slight shape (no slacker look here) and flattering, longer waist. The waterproof/breathable jacket held up to storm days on Oregon's Mt. Bachelor, when winds reached 40 and temps plummeted to single digits. Our tester, a respected junior alpine racer, raved about the warmth, suppleness, and fit of the Iconic—the coat moved with her, whether she was running gates or hiking the Cone. Obermeyer, one of the most respected brands in ski apparel, was founded in 1947 in Aspen, Colorado, by Klaus Obermeyer, who at 93 is still leading the company. The brand specializes in high-end but fairly-priced mountain apparel—and is one of the few brands that serve youth and teens with equal seriousness as men and women. The Iconic really mimics its name with a classic, feminine shape that never goes out of style. Inside the jacket's clean lines and longer silhouette you'll find 140 grams of warm Permaloft insulation in the body and 100 grams in the sleeves to provide warmth without bulk. The exterior is a striped jacquard made of a polyester/CD polyester print with HydroBlock V (Obermeyer's proprietary microporous waterproofing). Obermeyer's CZV, a control zone ventilation system, maintains warmth, but breathes and wicks moisture, so there's no wetness, even on crazy pow days. As with all youth and teen Obermeyer products, the Iconic jacket uses the company's innovative EWS (extended wear system) to maximize wear time—meaning the jacket will last several seasons, not just several runs.

If you invest in one piece of alpine ski gear this season, consider new boots. We've tested literally dozens of women-specific alpine ski boots, and Salomon's Instinct became our favorite due to its excellent power transfer and pain-free ride. The boot helped us float through heavy Oregon powder, and then transition to hard-pack groomers. It is designed for front-side carving, with an extraordinary nimbleness and control. You quickly notice that turning is easier as the boot has amazing sensitivity—almost as if it were reacting to your thoughts; it's easy to see why they named these boots "Instinct." It combines the performance of a World Cup racing boot with all-day comfort, which is saying a lot if you've ever skied in WC boots before. Credit the heat-customizable PU shell (with the same World Cup technology used in race boots, designed to expand precisely to the width of your foot for optimal fit and performance), and a heat-customizable liner that conforms to your foot. The liner is warm and cradles your foot with no sloppy dead space. This four-buckle boot comes in three flex patterns, 70, 90, and 100. We like the 100 flex for aggressive "expert" skiers, but if you're under 120 pounds and a beginning or intermediate skier, definitely go with the softer 70 or 90 which will allow you to get more out of the boot, so that you're flexing your ankles to initiate turns. The cuffs are designed for a woman's calves, with padding that is soft and comfortable without being squishy. Extra control is via a Velcro power strap that cranks in the fit and locks your foot into a forward, aggressive position to help keep you out of the back seat, with your weight on the balls of your feet where it belongs.

For many apparel manufacturers, "women-specific" often means that they shrink the length, narrow the shoulders, widen the hips, and add a lot of color—which is why brands like First Ascent rise to the fore in the outdoor industry. Their Rainier Storm Shell Pants benefit from all the same high-tech elements found in the men's version, including three-layer waterproof/breathable material with reinforcement patches in the seat and knees, a feel and sound that's far softer and quieter than any hard shell should be, and three-quarter length waterproof side zips that make on-and-off a breeze, even over bulky hiking boots. The combo of belt loops and an integrated belt system also let you dial in the perfect fit. The cut is tailored to a woman's slimmer frame—but the real touch of genius can be found with the U-shaped rear zipper, which allows femme testers to easily commune with nature without having to shed the pants (or a climbing harness) in the process. (a detail that's not part of the men's Mount Rainier) These pants are ideal as an extra layer to toss on when conditions become nasty while hiking, backpacking, or climbing. But they do double duty as your backup ski or snowboarding pants for all but the gnarliest of conditions. As they're designed to go over a pair of hiking pants, expect them to be roomy; go smaller if you want a truly trim fit or are planning to wear them over a next-to-skin baselayer.
Very few of us can—or even want to—wear athletic shoes all the time. But towering platforms, pencil heels, and skyscraper wedges don't always fit the bill. Our active-minded female set instead turn to Cape Clogs, a designer and distributor of Swedish orthopedic clogs. The sixth-generation clog manufacturer in Smaland, Sweden, produces clogs in assorted colors, upper materials, and heel heights; our testers love the new Dala line with their 2.5 inch heels. The suede leather uppers soften quickly to conform to the particular shape of your foot. A braided leather band limits the stretch of the upper and offers the forefoot and instep extra support. The sole is a molded alder wood that doesn't absorb your sweat or odor, plus the heel is open, so the back of your feet breathe. And we like the closed-toe design as it affords some modesty for feet that have suffered years of abuse in too-tight climbing shoes and ski boots. While the wood under your foot isn't initially as comfortable as, say, a pair of faux fur boots, the shape of the footbed is designed to provide both scaphoid and metatarsal support, as well as to encourage posture with a slightly dropped toe bed.

On hot summer days at the pool or beach, it's hard to look beyond your bikini. But then kids need popsicles, a towel was left in the car, or you spy your potential new boss strolling past the lifeguard stand. Scrunched into your beach bag, taking up less room than a can of Red Bull is your Dash Dress. The whisper-soft fabric glides on over a wet bathing suit to add modesty and sophistication to any waterside scenario. But this dress is ideally suited to handle any warm-weather outing. From shoulder to hem, the dress measures 36 inches—short enough for a hot summer day, but long enough that you could wear it to church. The V-neck front is secured with three snaps for extra venting, and we love the minimal pocket design, with one small chest pocket perfect to secure an iPod shuffle, and a flat, hand-sized hip pocket that shields a small zippered security pocket just big enough for I.D., credit card, key, or cash. The fabric is a light, frothy polyester and spandex blend that resists stains and snags while providing UPF 30+ sun protection. The tight weave naturally repels water (if you get splashed, water beads off)—but if you sweat or your suit soaks through, testers report that the dry time is less than five minutes in the sun.

Despite widespread speculation that Hanover's own Bill Bolling might be considering an independent run for the Governor's Mansion, the incumbent lieutenant governor announced March 12 that he would not throw his name in the hat as a third candidate.
"After a great deal of consideration, I have decided that I will not be an Independent candidate for Governor this year," Bolling said in a statement. "There were many factors that influenced by decision to forgo such a campaign."
The largest hurdle facing Bolling was on the financial side. After speaking with donors over the past few weeks, Bolling said he was confident he would be able to fund a competitive campaign. But without the resources of a major political party, Bolling said it would be difficult to raise the $10 million to $15 million it would take to win.
"You can have a winning message, but if you don't have the resources to effectively communicate that message to voters, you cannot win," Bolling said.
Running as an independent against a party-backed Republican would also have obvious political ramifications for the longtime member of the GOP, a reality that outweighed his concerns that the party is headed in the wrong direction.
"I still have many dear friends in the Republican Party, people who have been incredibly supportive of me over the years," he said. "Maintaining their friendship and respect means more to me than the prospects of being Governor and I was unwilling to jeopardize these longstanding relationships by embarking on an Independent campaign."
Still, Bolling noted his dissatisfaction with the current political climate in Virginia, noting that the "'Virginia way' of doing things is rapidly being replaced by the 'Washington way.'"
"As a result, the political process has become much more ideologically driven, hyper-partisan and mean spirited," he said. "Rigid ideologies and person political agendas are too often placed ahead of sound public policy and legitimate policy disagreements too quickly degenerate into unwarranted personal attacks."
Bolling's first elected office was as a member of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. He won a narrow contest in 1995 for the Virginia Senate over a 20-year incumbent and stayed in that chamber until 2005 when he was elected lieutenant governor. He was reelected to that post in 2009.
Bolling said he looked forward to working with the current administration in the months to come as his term comes to a close. Following the end of his term, Bolling said he planned to return to the private sector and to look for other ways to serve the Commonwealth.
"I love Virginia and I will always be willing to do my part to help make Virginia a better place," he said.

Florida's efforts provide a win for all parties in the farm-to-school equation, Bergstrom says. Pero's school sales have grown over the years as more districts buy more products – and opportunities are open to operations of all sizes.
Growers should make the state Agriculture Department their first stop for information about participating. "They've taken out a lot of the learning curve," Allen says.
Safley says her department also will guide growers if they lack the required certifications and audits for the program, and help connect them to other growers or processing facilities to better meet school needs.
"We still have a lot to learn," she says.
The program is evolving, starting with an already implemented change into seven smaller regions for smoother transportation.
Coming this summer is a beta test of an online program to match growers' products and customer needs. Modeled on the University of Illinois' MarketMaker site, she hopes for a full launch in the fall.
"This is new territory for all of us," Chong says.
She encourages growers to work with her on how best to participate.
"Two heads are better."

get rid of them.. and then sterilize the shovel... looks like hvx ... all hosta are going to look ratty .. in almost full sun.. but the damage will not look like that .. ken |

It's this picture that looks like HVX in a Gold Standard. Ken's right. Dump the lot. Plant Astilbe. Steve |
crap kinda thought so but was wishful thinking that I was just being paranoid, thanks. |
I know its bad form to mention other plants here but since I won't be planting hostas back in the spot were I am removing these two. ( wasn't the best place for them anyway) what would you put in there if you were me? Full sun most of the day right beside a pond. Rocks on both sides of the beds. And I like hostas of course can't have here what are some others that might work instead thanks! |

Call me crazy, but that does not look like HVX to me. It looks like a mixture of frost damage and color changes. |
Well they are gone now, better safe then sorry. Truth be told I didn't love these ones anyway. They were yard sale/plant sales finds so I doubt I paid much form them in the first place. I will check out the sedum's tomorrow when I go the nursery, thanks for the suggestion :). |

i wasnt 100% sure either.. but why risk it.. they were cast off from a neighbor ... no idea what to put there.. since i cant see the area.. other than the hosta in the small pix ken |
- Posted by ctopher_mi Z5 MI (My Page) on Sat, Jun 23, 12 at 15:28
None of it looks like HVX to me, it just looks like frost damage or maybe it was stepped on just before it came up. Chris |
I also have a distorted leaf on some plants, and do not worry about it. |
We had a lot of late frost in our zone 5 gardens. A few of the first leaves on the hostas have the distorted look. Good eye test on these hostas is to look at the new leaves, if they are not coming up with distortion or the molted bleeding look, then its probably just frost damage. Agree with Chris on this one. |
- Posted by hostahillbilly Zone 4 (My Page) on Sun, Jun 24, 12 at 22:42
These pictures are difficult to make a 'final determination'. Here we would 'quarantine' them to an area far away from the 'regular' garden area and watch them for a year or more. fwiw, |

I was unaware of the recall, until I had a fire, then I checked the internet, I wish I had done this before I purchased this snowblower, although this mach starts well and blows snow, the handle height is not good and I'm 5'10", it seemed to stop running if too much snow got on the mach, the day it burned it had stopped, I cleaned it off and restarted it, it immediately caught on fire, I went into the house to get something to put the fire out, looked back out and the fire was about 4 feet high, called 911, went back out, my neighbor from 150 yards away was now out there, wondering what I was cooking at 5:30 in the morning, we smothered the fire with snow. Off to work I go,
that I check the internet, find there may be a recall , find a number and call what seems to be India or someone that is very hard to understand, finally get a number from him to call, now we have 2 people that speak the same english, yes my machine is on the call, some one wiil be out to check the mach in about 3 weeks. Good thing I kept my shovel. I have a 8 hour window, will the service man call if he's not coming or will I have to find another # to call. From this day forward I'll always check the internet before purchasing anything that's this expensive. I've had the mach 3 years, the first month the discharge chute broke, they would not send me a new one I had to bring the mach back to the store, they sent it back to Mass to be fixed, the second year the z clip for the throttle broke, I used picture wire in place of the orig cable, the brush holder also broke the first year, this year I had to replace the chute again, I also replaced the throttle cable, 2 storms later the mach burns .. |

Sure bad luck. |
If you don't want the same machine with a different name I would look up as see which brand names are made by the same company that sears sells, probably MTD or AYP if I had to guess. They make alot of different brand that they have contracts with or brought out. IMO I suspect Sears will probably going to try to weasel out and say operator fault or error after three years, but I guessing again. |

Jordan Belfort Is Now Attempting to Become the Wolf of Reality TV
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on December 30, 2013 | Comments (1)You know him and hate him as the loud-mouthed financial superstar portrayed by Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street. Well get ready, gang, because Jordan Belfort is potentially coming to television in a reality show currently getting shopped around the networks. It makes sense, because if anyone could embody the unofficial slogan of the reality TV world, "I'm not here to make friends," it's probably Belfort. While audiences have been enthralled with Belfort's story told through the Martin Scorsese film (or not), fellow rich guy and Electus CEO Chris Grant read the source material — Belfort's memoir of the same name — and saw a natural born star in his real-life version. You see, he's not just the man who scammed investors out of $110 million throughout the 1990s and partied with a guy who probably looked vaguely like Jonah Hill, he's now a "successful motivational speaker" living and working out of Los Angeles after serving time for his crimes.
Martin Scorsese Lands Screen Legend Matthew McConaughey for 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on August 2, 2012 | Comments (1)Okay, so maybe screen legend is pushing it, but it's kind of hard not to get excited about the career resurgence that Matthew McConaughey has experienced in the past year. Remember all those years he was doing lame romantic comedies and cashing checks? Well, forget them, because hopefully that's all over. This year the man famous for his bongos, his abs, and his southern drawl has already shown up in worthwhile projects like Bernie, Magic Mike, and Killer Joe, and now Variety has word that he's keeping that momentum going by being the latest to sign on for Martin Scorsese's next, The Wolf of Wall Street. You remember what The Wolf of Wall Street is, right? We've only written up about a thousand casting announcements for it so far. It's Scorsese's look at the real life adventures of decadent day trader Jordan Belfort, and all of the drug and adrenaline fueled shenanigans he got himself into back in the '80s (you know, before he got caught being involved in illegal trading and money laundering and had to go to jail).
'The Artist' Star Jean Dujardin Can Talk, May Do So In Martin Scorsese's 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on June 14, 2012 | Comments (1)Seeing as it's been confirmed that Martin Scorsese's next film, The Wolf of Wall Street, is going to start shooting in August, the clock is starting to tick when it comes to getting the cast together. Already we know the obvious part, that frequent Scorsese collaborator Leonardo DiCaprio is going to star as the titular bad boy investor. And we also have word that intriguing supporting players Jonah Hill and Kyle Chandler have signed on as DiCaprio's wing man and the FBI agent trying to take him down, respectively. But Scorsese's job doesn't stop with just a recruiting of three big names. Variety is reporting that casting on the film has continued, and Scorsese is close to landing a fourth big name as well.
Kyle Chandler Will Take Leonardo DiCaprio Down in 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Casting Couch By Kate Erbland on May 10, 2012 | Be the First To CommentKyle Chandler should be one of the biggest leading men in Hollywood. That's really all there is to it. Post-Friday Night Lights, the Emmy-winning actor has started to line up some really solid feature work, like Argo, Broken City, and Zero Dark Thirty. Seeing such a talented actor getting some big breaks lessens the sting of the end of FNL – just a bit. But Chandler isn't content to work with just Affleck, Bigelow, and Hughes, though, he wants the big guns. Deadline Dillon reports that Chandler has now joined the cast of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street. Leonardo DiCaprio is already on board to play the lead, Jordan Belfort, as the film is based on Belfort's memoir about his dramatic rise and fall on Wall Street, one punctuated with both bad personal (drugs! booze! parties!) and professional decisions. Jonah Hill is also set for the film, playing a friend of Belfort who gets mixed up with his business dealings as well. But if DiCaprio and Hill are going to wheel and deal, just who is going to take them down? Chandler, of course.
Scorsese and DiCaprio to Start Shooting 'The Wolf of Wall Street' in August
In Production By Nathan Adams on March 15, 2012 | Be the First To CommentJust a little over a year ago it was announced that director Martin Scorsese and actor Leonardo DiCaprio planned on teaming up for a fifth time in order to make a movie called The Wolf of Wall Street. These guys always keep themselves busy though, and the script for the film was still being adapted from the memoirs of former day trader Jordan Belfort, so it wasn't really clear when it would go in front of the camera, if ever.
Shocker: Leonardo DiCaprio Joins Martin Scorsese's 'The Wolf of Wall Street'
Casting Couch By Nathan Adams on February 17, 2011 | Comments (2)Just a couple days after the stunning announcement that Helena Bonham Carter would be in her life partner Tim Burton's next film, now comes the news that Martin Scorsese is going to do another project with his life partner Leonardo DiCaprio. Both men have projects in the works currently, Scorsese is finishing up Hugo Cabret and DiCaprio is shooting J. Edgar, but when schedules clear up their intention is to begin work on The Wolf of Wall Street. Sopranos veteran Terry Winter is currently adapting the script for the film from the memoirs of Jordan Belfort. It will detail Belfort's life in the 80s taking drugs, having sex, and engaging in some illegal trading. Belfort eventually got himself landed in jail because of his delinquent ways, but now he is free and sober and had this to say about the project, "After almost four years in development, I can't begin to tell you how thrilled I am to finally be working with Leo and Marty on this. They're the ultimate dream team, and it was definitely worth the wait." I don't know if I would go as far as to call Scorsese and DiCaprio "the ultimate dream team," but I've enjoyed all of their collaborations to varying degrees so far. Even Shutter Island, which got a lot of mixed reviews last year, was a strong performance from DiCaprio; maybe one of the best of his career. It will be interesting to see how the duo stacks up to people's memories […]

Optical microscopy, spectroscopy, and spectral imaging (including fluorescence, Raman, and Fourier transform infrared [FTIR]), high-throughput imaging, superresolution techniques, multiplexed microscopy, multivariate image analysis, image preprocessing, spectral unmixing, and multivariate classification for applications in the early detection of disease/damage, immune response, signal transduction, energy transfer in photosynthetic pigments, and biomarker discovery.
My group's research focuses on developing and applying novel analytical-imaging and multivariate-analysis tools to elucidate complex spatial–temporal relationships in biological processes.
Traditional fluorescence microscopy can locate up to three fluorescent probes in three dimensions. In single- or double-label experiments, these measurements can be interpreted in a relatively straightforward manner. However, when making multicomponent (>4) measurements, assigning accurate fluorescence contributions becomes extremely challenging due to (1) spectral bleed-through; (2) autofluorescence, which is typically broad, nondescript, and overlapped spectrally with the analytic signal of interest; and (3) the environmental sensitivity of the probe. These challenges, which effectively reduce accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and multiplexing, greatly hinder the ability to quantify fluorescence measurements in complex biological systems.
To alleviate these limitations, my research group employs spectroscopy. We have developed both hyperspectral fluorescence line scanning and hyperspectral confocal fluorescence microscopy systems. We have also complemented total internal reflection microscopy with a unique optical design that facilitates simultaneous dual-color acquisition. In separate efforts, we have used vibrational spectroscopies (Raman and FTIR) to provide spatially resolved molecular information without the use of fluorescent labels.
The addition of a spectral dimension can result in a three-, four-, or five-dimension image data set (2–3 spatial, 1 spectral, and 1 temporal) that is beyond human visualization capabilities. We couple these high-dimensional image data sets with multivariate analysis tools to mathematically extract the underlying spectral signatures and create quantitative spatial–temporal profiles.
Our work interfaces analytical chemistry and optical physics with molecular and cellular biology and has direct impact on human health, plant science, and renewable-energy research. We work collaboratively with researchers from different scientific disciplines to tackle complex bioscience problems, including the multiplexed imaging of endogenous and exogenous fluorescence in cells and tissues, the visualization of host–pathogen interactions, the identification of molecular biomarkers for early detection of disease/damage, and membrane-specific imaging of receptor–ligand interactions.
This project was funded under the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director's New Innovator Award in 2009. When successful, this project will provide an unprecedented view of protein interactions in the living cell through the development of novel spectrally resolved superresolution microscopy methods.
Our role in this interdisciplinary, interinstitutional program will focus on the integration of imaging and microfluidic platforms to enable single-cell experiments over a large number of cells. This aspect will provide statistical significance to the results and enable model development and validation.
Funded by Sandia's Laboratory Directed Research and Development Program, this multidisciplinary project will improve the fundamental understanding of the effect of scale on biological processes regulating algal growth and lipid production. We will combine a suite of advanced bioanalytical spectroscopic tools with genomic and standard biochemical assays to understand the effects of light and population dynamics in several species of algae that are being considered for commercial biofuels use.
PARC is one of 46 Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) established nationally at universities, national laboratories, nonprofit organizations, and private firms by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. A multi-institutional collaboration, PARC seeks to understand the basic scientific principles that underpin the efficient functioning of natural photosynthetic antenna systems. These principles will then be used as a basis for man-made systems to convert sunlight into fuels. Our specific work within PARC will use advanced spectral imaging and analysis methodologies to isolate fluorescent signatures from natural and bio-inspired photosynthetic pigments to increase our understanding of the spatial distribution and abundance of these critical components in the energy transfer cascade.

I had a high outdoor table that had an umbrella in it....yes, the wind took it and now I have a table without a top. Any creative ideas on how to replace this? We don't have to spend too much as it is an old set. Thank you in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not a creative thought but the same thing happened to us some years ago and our insurance paid for it. You may have a deductible and I don't know of course about your home owner's policy but you could look into it and also the cost of replacement by a glass company and see if a solution exists there. |
- Posted by kathyg_in_mi (My Page) on Sat, May 14, 11 at 19:44
It happened to us a few years back. Went to a glass place and they said it would be cheaper to buy a new table, so we did. Chairs don't match exactly, but it was cheaper! Kathy G in MI |

Contact your furniture manufacturer to ask about glass replacement table tops. If the manufacturer does not sell replacements, the company may be able to recommend a reputable glass shop in your area. |

Hi all. I wasn't sure exactly where I should post this. Here's my dilemna:
I live in an apartment in New York City that comes with a small dirt yard where I do gardening. Naturally I like to keep my supplies close at hand, so I have things like a very large bag of mulch, extra planters, bags of rocks, stakes, etc., all just sitting out in my back yard. I cannot afford to buy a tool shed as they all seem to be $1000 and up. I don't mind if these supplies get wet during rain/snow. But what I DON'T like is that all these things are sitting on the ground, and so due to stagnant water etc., all the bags etc get "yucky" with slugs etc. My main objective is to figure out a way to elevate all these things off of the direct ground. I am thinking a tiered stand might be good, and while I searched a bit online, none of them seem to have shelves that are deep/wide enough, to be able to accommodate my large mulch bags, plastic storage boxes for rocks, etc. Any suggestions how I can accomplish what I want...how to elevate these things off of the ground? Thanks! |

Not sure how big you need but just get you some concrete blocks and set them side by side. Then put your stuff on top of the blocks. I'd use haydike (sp) blocks for height....DT |

Home Depot has some large, molded plastic, storage boxes that were $99. If you don't want to spend that much, check out the LARGE size coolers, they are $30 ++. |
You also might give a look at Rubbermaid's website. They have a lot of outdoor storage solutions, but they're also kind of pricey. |
Run by some of the bigbox stores and ask them for a few of their wooden pallets. They get things off the ground and you can probaly get them free. |
Pallets and a tarp.......$20.00.......Done! |
- Posted by squirejohn 4 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 6, 11 at 4:49
There's another outfit (Shelter Logic) that sells tarp sheds. I bought a 6X6'three years ago for $99. |
- Posted by twelvegauge 8 (My Page) on Sun, Mar 6, 11 at 11:41
I use pallets for keeping bags off the ground - but there are different grades and sizes. I buy 4-foot square pallets that are made of oak - which means that they are big and heavy. I set them up on bricks so that they don't lie directly on wet ground. I get them at a pallet supplier, who sells mainly to truckers and businesses - try "pallets" in the yellow pages. Seems like I paid $6 each the last time I bought them. |

Distinguished Achievement Award – Honors alumni who have distinguished themselves in their professional and personal lives.
The GSM just finished one of its best years in our short history, and you should feel very, very proud to be an alum of the fastest-rising school in the Top 50. Here are some highlights:
The Graduate School of Management Alumni Association (GSMAA) is governed by a group of alumni volunteers who serve on the board of directors. The board meets at least three times a year to plan events and ensure that alumni have a strong voice in the ongoing growth and development of the School. The board's mission is to facilitate strong affiliations among alumni, students, faculty, staff and the communities that we share.
The Business Partnership Program provides a vital link between the School and the business community—one that supports ongoing initiatives in fundraising, placement, admissions, and student and alumni services. The GSM Alumni Association's (GSMAA) board of directors is committed to increasing the number of Business Partners, leveraging alumni who want to bridge their organization with the GSM.
When you become a Business Partner, you expand the GSM's footprint in Northern California, one of Dean Currall's key objectives for the School.
Active volunteer efforts are one of the best ways to foster a close-knit alumni community. This year, the GSM Alumni Association's board of directors is seeking to increase the ranks of the School's volunteers, tapping into alumni who are willing to spend a few hours making a difference in the GSM community—with students, fellow alumni, faculty and staff. Volunteerism will increase engagement, affinity, communication and connectedness among alumni.
Directors of the Graduate School of Management Alumni Association (GSMAA) board have a unique opportunity to make a difference in the UC Davis Graduate School of Management community. The GSM is a young and great School, and one stakeholder can make a huge impact on the future of the program. A stronger program makes for a stronger alumni base, and ultimately, a more valuable degree.

Mimic, Book Two of The Identity Trilogy, Is Now Available
Investigate the World of Android with Detective Drake 3GI2RC |
The Identity Trilogy | Published 28 December 2012 |
I couldn't permanently harm the men I was after.
I also couldn't communicate with them because access to their comm was blocked. I held my left hand high and broadcast an image of my badge with scrolling ID under it, leaving it in place in the air before me and controlled by my onboard PAD as I reached
for my airbelt controls.
The men stopped working and pointed at me as I pressed the controls of the airbelt.
The airbelt lifted me from the ground and shot me toward the wreckage. Two of the suspects nearest me pulled laser pistols and took aim. They didn't use slug-throwers because the resulting recoil would wreak havoc on them in the microgravity. Laser pistols didn't have a recoil issue.
Mimic, written by Mel Odom and the second novel in The Identity Trilogy, is now on sale at your local bookseller, our webstore, and digitally for your Nook, Kindle, and iOS device!
Detective Drake's Investigation Continues
In the future, the world has changed, but crime has not. Mimic is set in the gritty, cyber-noir world of Android. The story of New Angeles Detective Drake 3GI2RC continues as he navigates the tangled web of lies and corruption that lie in wait around every corner.
Set in the Android universe and following the events of Golem, Mimic continues the story of New Angeles Detective Drake 3GI2RC after he has been reassigned to the moon with a new partner.
Drake is not your average Bioroid. First, he's one of the New Angeles Police Department's few android cops, and second, he's haunted by the memories of another man, Simon Blake. Still struggling with questions about his identity, Drake continues to seek answers about his identity: where does his programming end, and his own personality begin?
For more information on this tale of cyberpunk noir, visit our website for The Identity Trilogy and check out our previews of the first and second chapters. Then head to your local retailer or visit our webstore to pick up or download your copy today!
Mel Odom's The Identity Trilogy is a series of novels set in the Android universe, and it tells a story of murder, manipulation, and mystery in a world where humanity and technology collide.

Top transportation tips
- Inspect produce with the truck driver present before loading and unloading.
- Check pulp temperatures at loading and unloading and note them on the bill of lading.
- Pre-cool produce before loading.
- Don't put temperature recorders where vents will blow on them in the trailer to ensure accurate readings.
- Require carriers to provide constant temperatures rather than relying on cycling patterns of refer units.
- Make sure all documents are completely filled out to avoid delays at border crossings.
