ARC, Advocacy for Respect for Cyclist held a memorial ride for recently deceased cyclist Mike Rankin.  Mike, a long time courier was killed when a cab went through a yellow light, sending him into the middle of University Avenue.
A small group of cyclists met at Bloor and Spadina at 8:00 am and started a slow ride across Bloor to Jarvis.  At Yonge street it was decided to head south as the ride had started late and some participants were worried they would have to go to work before the ceremony could finish.
Police, while frustrated with the speed of the ride, refused to cork the intersection to speed the ride along.  Police blocked one lane of University so a banner could be unfurled that stated "A cyclist was killed here last week.
Participants took to the street for a minute of silence.  A ghost bike was placed in the middle island of University Avenue where a makeshift memorial, complete with flowers and the remains of Mike's shattered helmet.
The helmet was found in the garbage with some of Mike's personal belongings the day after he died.  Police have since said that they were responsible for disposing of his belongings and have since given a half-hearted apology.
Police have decided that charges will not be laid against the cabbie that killed Mike.  They made no apology for this.

High Point Creamery, Park Burger and Adagio Baking Company opening in Hilltop/Crestmoor
Lori Midson
For the past several months, there's been a flurry of activity on the southwest corner of Holly and Cedar, an intersection that sits on the cusp of Crestmoor and Hilltop on a plot that was once an old gas station, now long gone. But Rob Naiman, who grew up in Crestmoor and is the founder of the Robert L. Naiman Company, LLC, a commercial real estate firm, scooped up the lot last year, and later this spring, the center will be home to Denver's fourth Park Burger, a second outpost of Adagio Bakery and the first location of High Point Creamery.
See also: The original Park Burger expands its Platt Park location
"There isn't much in the way of food offerings in this neighborhood, but the demographics are great, and this is an area where people can walk or bike to with their kids," notes Naiman, adding that he "tries to find tenants that appeal to a broad spectrum of people."
Mike Meirowsky, who owns Adagio, a popular bakery that first opened in Park Hill in 2006, inked a lease on a 1,500-square-foot storefront in the new build-out, and not only is it markedly larger than the original, but the menu will significantly expand, too. "This will be a play kitchen for us to try out some things that we've always wanted to do -- breads, for example -- and the menu over here will be a lot more creative," says Meirowsky, revealing that the breakfast board will include "all the stuff from the bakery side, plus dishes like corned bread French toast with peach compote; banana bread French toast; and duck confit with sunny-side up eggs."
Breakfast is an underserved segment in Hilltop/Crestmoor -- and in Denver, in general, claims Meirowsky. "There aren't enough good-quality breakfasts in Denver, and I think what we're planning to do here will be a really good fit for the neighborhood," he says, noting that the breakfast and lunch menus are the work of chef Corey Navin, a longtime friend of Meirowsky and a former Denver chef (he was he sous at the now-defunct Sparrow), who took an extended sabbatical before Meirowsky lured him back to the burners.
"Corey took a career break, but he's ready to get back into the kitchen and help us do some really great things," says Meirowsky. "He and I work well together, and this is a great opportunity for him to be a part of growing our business, which is what we want to do," adds Meirowsky, whose bakery and 54-seat cafe will be open from 6 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. seven days a week.
Adagio will be joined by Park Burger, a 2,500-square-foot build-out, which makes it the largest of all three tenants. But unlike the other trio of Park Burgers, this one will only pour beer and wine, an adjustment that was made following an unsuccessful attempt to get a full liquor-license approved.

Ringleader and Girlfriend Plead Guilty in Identity Theft Fraud Scheme Involving over 250 Individual Victims
Stole the Identities of Doctors Who Applied for Fellowships at Johns Hopkins Hospital Where the Girlfriend Worked
Baltimore, Maryland - Ringleader Derrick Hill, age 52, and his girlfriend Renee Cabell, age 51, both of Woodlawn, Maryland, pleaded guilty today to conspiring to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.
The guilty pleas were announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Robert Jasinski of the United States Secret Service – Baltimore Field Office and Anne Arundel County Police Chief Larry W. Tolliver.
According to their plea agreements, from August to October, 2009, Hill and Cabell conspired with their co-defendants John Coffey and Tawney King to negotiate counterfeit checks drawn on victim bank accounts.
Hill received checks which had been designated for destruction by banks and stolen before they could be destroyed. He also received personal identity information and personal financial information from King who was employed by Highlandtown Community Health Center. According to King's plea agreement, King accessed patient files and provided Hill with the patient identifying information either directly or through her friend Cabell. Hill used this information to create counterfeit checks using victim's financial account information and the identity information of other victims. He also obtained counterfeit identification cards and personally altered genuine Maryland driver's licenses so that they displayed victim identity information but the photograph of one of several co-conspirators, including Coffey.
Hill recruited Coffey to help him cash the checks at banks and retail establishments. If the counterfeit checks were cashed at a retail store, Hill told his co-conspirators what to buy. Proceeds, whether cash or merchandise, were given to Hill, who paid his co-conspirators a small percentage for each successful transaction.
Additionally, Cabell provided Hill with the names and identity information of doctors who applied for fellowships at Johns Hopkins Hospital where Cabell worked, processing the fellowship applications. Hill used the doctors' identities to rent apartments, buy merchandise and obtain services. Indeed, shortly before Hill's arrest, Hill was attempting to rent another apartment in a doctor's identity because he and Cabell were about to be evicted for non-payment on the apartment they rented in the identity of another doctor.
The defendants obtained cash, merchandise and services worth over $188,000. The identities of over 250 individuals were compromised. All four defendants will be required to pay restitution for the full amount of the victims' losses, which exceeds $188,000.
Hill and the government have agreed that if the Court accepts the plea agreement, Hill will be sentenced to 11 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett scheduled his sentencing for March 18, 2013, at 3:00 p.m..
Coffey and King previously pleaded guilty to the same charges. Cabell, Coffey and King face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the conspiracy and a mandatory consecutive sentence of two years in prison for aggravated identity theft. Judge Bennett scheduled sentencing for Cabell, Coffey and King on March 21, February 13, and February 19, 2013, respectively, all at 3:00 p.m..
Today's announcement is part of efforts underway by President Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force (FFETF) which was created in November 2009 to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. With more than 20 federal agencies, 94 U.S. attorneys' offices and state and local partners, it's the broadest coalition of law enforcement, investigatory and regulatory agencies ever assembled to combat fraud. Since its formation, the task force has made great strides in facilitating increased investigation and prosecution of financial crimes; enhancing coordination and cooperation among federal, state and local authorities; addressing discrimination in the lending and financial markets and conducting outreach to the public, victims, financial institutions and other organizations. Over the past three fiscal years, the Justice Department has filed more than 10,000 financial fraud cases against nearly 15,000 defendants including more than 2,700 mortgage fraud defendants. For more information on the task force, visit www.stopfraud.gov.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the U.S. Secret Service and Anne Arundel County Police Department for their work in the investigation. Mr. Rosenstein praised Assistant U.S. Attorney Tamera L. Fine, who is prosecuting the case.

BUTTE - The owners of the historic Dumas Brothel in Butte are trying to restore water service to the building for the first time in 13 years.
The owners will have to pay Butte-Silver Bow to replace and reconnect the water main on Mercury Street. Then, the brothel will have running water and a working restroom.
Michael Piche and Travis Eskelsen took ownership of the brothel in June 2012. Since then, they've paid almost $6,000 in delinquent property taxes that accumulated over the years.
They've also restored natural gas service for the first time in 12 years.
Nearly four tons of debris has been removed from the interior. Five sky light glass panes that are broken or missing will be replaced.
The owners hope to eventually open the historic brothel as a museum/bed and breakfast.
The brothel owners have set up an account to help restore water.
Visit the Historic Dumas Brothel Facebook page for more information.

PROVIDENCE — The Route 195 Redevelopment District Commission gave the necessary approvals Monday evening to begin seeking "forward-thinking development proposals from developers, businesses or institutions" interested in the prime real estate now vacant in the heart of the capital city.
"So we're ready to go to market," commission Chairman Colin P. Kane said.
Details that interested parties must follow are expected to go live on the commission's website Tuesday, Executive Director Jan A. Brodie said. That information is in an approximately 140-page "Developer's Toolkit" and an official "Request for Information," two documents the commission approved with separate 4-0 votes.
Anyone seeking to develop the land in this first round of submissions must turn in a proposal before May 1, 2014. The commission promises to review all proposals within 60 to 90 days. The second-round deadline is Aug. 1, the third is Nov. 1, and so on.
The commission will accept proposals in a process it has dubbed "rolling submission," much the way some colleges accept student applications on a rolling basis. However, proposals that meet the May 1 deadline will be reviewed by the commission first — giving them what Kane called after the meeting "an early mover" advantage.
In an interview, Kane spoke of what an opportunity he thinks the land holds, located in the heart of the city, near the waterfront and near several top-notch universities. But he acknowledged he doesn't know what kind of interest the commission will see.
"I don't have a clue," he said, reiterating what he told The Providence Journal last month, that the market will dictate what gets built there. "The market's the market."
It doesn't help that the state's unemployment rate is the worst in the nation, he said. But, Kane said he hopes the commission's pre-development work will help attract developers.
"We're putting every parcel out at the same time because we want to maximize exposure and maximize opportunity," he added.
Perhaps the first indication of potential interest will be seen at two public informational sessions the commission has set for Feb. 25 and March 25. Those 11 a.m. sessions at the Rhode Island Commerce Corporation offices, 315 Iron Horse Way, in Providence, are a time for interested developers to tour the land, if weather permits, and to ask questions.
Just four of seven commissioners attended the meeting on a snowy night. The weather and road conditions prevented the commission's new brokerage firm, Jones Lang LaSalle, from getting to the meeting. A team from the Boston office of the Chicago-based firm was expected to discuss strategies it will employ to market the 17 land parcels.
Kane told the commission he hopes the firm can present at its next meeting, March 17.
Also on March 17, the commission will hold a public hearing on proposed developer fees included in the "Developer's Toolkit."
They include zoning fees that range from $100 for a "base fee" to "+$1,500" for projects costing between $10 million and $100 million. Application fees would be based upon total project cost, with a maximum charge of $50,000, the tool kit proposes.
All information approved Monday for developers will be posted on the commission's website, www.195district.com. That site can be tricky to locate with a Google search, but the commission learned Monday its web designer is working on "search engine optimization" tools to allow people to find it more easily.
Commissioners at Monday's meeting were Kane, Barrett Bready, Diana L. Johnson and John M. Kelly.
They also approved six temporary art installations — at a cost of $12,000 to the commission — expected to be built on the land within the coming months.
Three artists attended the meeting — Matthew Kramer, Aarti Kathuria and Sophia Sobers. The other three selections were by Frank Hammond, Topher Gent and Adam E. Anderson.
One glitch has arisen about where to install some of the artwork. Brodie learned recently of a helipad on the eastern side of the Providence River, on the parcel Kane says is also the site for the Providence Flea market. Kane told the commission he has since learned the helipad was licensed in 1969 and that about 59 helicopter "touchdowns" take place there each year.
The parcel is so small it's almost undevelopable, so the helipad shouldn't get in the way of development, Kane said after the meeting. The commission will determine where to put the artwork so that it doesn't interfere with helicopter landings, he said.

Follow the Saskatchewanderer in 2014
Caitlin Taylor, the 2013 summer Saskatchewanderer, is back and this time she's going to explore all facets of Saskatchewan for an entire year.
"When I learned that I won the expanded Saskatchewanderer position, I was so excited," Taylor said. "In fact, I'm still excited. I feel like I'm dreaming. I can't wait to start sharing our province's terrific stories with the world."
In addition to showing what makes the province a great place to play, Taylor is going to demonstrate why it's a great place to live and work. Taylor's extensive film and social media background - not to mention her previous wandering experience - makes her the perfect candidate to kick off the expanded Saskatchewanderer position.
The one-year pilot project, which used to be housed solely in the Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport, is now a partnership between Parks, Culture and Sport, Agriculture, Economy and Tourism Saskatchewan.

We were thinking of installing IPE flooring through our entire house. But we have two 70 lb dogs and are worried about scratches.
Has anyone heard of vinyl floating floors? They look like wood floors. We have been told they are very durable and will not scratch. Thoughts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Just as with any product type, there are 'quality grades' within each category, so keep that in mind when making a selection. Also, if you think your pooches might be able to get under an exposed edge, then consider having the flooring glued down with the correct adhesive. |

I read a blog post last night that left me a little bit concerned, and I literally woke up in the middle of the night thinking about this – What if there were no Organic Search Results? Will "Google Search" eventually turn into one gigantic pay for position web directory? After all, they've been pushing the organic search results further and further down, while continuing to try and monetize every result on the page.
On 8-12-10 Google performed an experiment with the it's SERP in certain areas that appeared to have removed the traditional organic search results altogether and replaced them with what appeared to be results primarily from the Google Maps page. Apparently they clarified it was map results mixed in with the Organic search results, but it still left me thinking: what if Google eliminates the traditional organic search results for local searches and completely replaces them with the polluted review-spam filled Google Maps listing currently available?
Would that be good or bad for businesses? What about search marketers? And most importantly, would it be good for the end user?
Please share your comments below because I would really love to hear your thoughts.

Hopefully with Bing now powering Yahoo we'll see some more good things happening there so we don't have to only count on Google for delivering us substantial organic search traffic.

Hi Marty,
I totally agree. I'm excited about what Bing is doing.

Is installing orange peel finish on the walls in my bathroom ..around the outside of the shower and wall where the sink would go...a good idea.. I hired a non licensed person.. and got a big surprise when i found out. that he put orange peel finish on my walls?? isnt it ,airy mud? or whipped plaster??? and doesnt it erode with water?? im worried...
dreemr |
Follow-Up Postings:
The orange peel needs to be primed and top coated with satin, semigloss, gloss or eggshell paint. Not flat because its in a wet area. It's done all the time. |
Plaster (which I'm guessing this is) properly cured is incredibly hard, not waterproof but if well painted, not damaged by high moisture. You can install ceramic tile later if it is a hard plaster surface. |

Okay, who's got 'em and what are your experiences with them?
Let's talk... |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't have 'em, but my understanding is that they are caused, at least in part, by estrogen dominance. This appears to occur at sometime in your 30's when progesterone levels drop, but estrogen levels don't. I have read that you can treat them with natural progesterone cream, but I don't have experience to back that up. I had a partial hyst prior to my 30's, so there was no uterus to develop fibroids.

I have a couple smallish ones. I have heavy periods, but I'm 49 and I figure the estrogen well will be running dry relatively soon, so I'm waiting it out. |
My fibroid problems were resolved about 2.5 years ago with a UFE. Check out the Yahoo EMBO group for lots more info on this procedure. |
Helo my name is Dana and I was diagnosed with fibroids about a year ago...I can't even start to explain how bad I bleed sometimes more than 2 40 box of super tampons in two days plus thick pads. I have panic attacks usually after the bleeding starts which that last for a full 7 days,I crave ice too...If I could eat dirt I would eat that too. I have aleast two or three days that I feel " normal".The Doc. says they will shrink later but I don't think I want to wait that long I'm only 44 this could last for years. I had a anxiety yesterday and had to go with resue to the Hosp. because BP got really high along with bad anxiety, was not fun to say the least, blood work and ekg were fine this is so scary when you start feeling like this for no reason (what is it? when you hit 40 you go nuts?> Thanks for listening, I know I can't be alone out there... take care and God bless |
I'm in my early 30's, and I have a few large ones, and a couple smallish ones. I've just talked to my doctor, and we've made the decision for me to have a myomectomy. |
Dana - You mentioned that you crave ice and also dirt. Craving ice is associated with anemia and I believe dirt might be as well. You had blood work done, did it mention anemia? Anemia can cause a multitude of issues, with anxiety being one of them. I think it would be a good idea to mention the cravings to your doctor, often it is the first sign of anemia. Take care |
Thanks Matti i have an appointment next week I'll mention to the Doc. about my cravings, I Hope She can give me some good news this visit..I don't want to be put on a lot of medications and it seems that's all they want to give anymore.I know that the ice thing is crazy its like eating candy for me I'm eating it right now. Thanks for yor time, Have a great day Dana |
I had 'em, and then I had a UFE. This was eight years ago, and it worked like a dream. Look into it. |
On my visit to the GYN last month, the Dr. suspected uterine fibroids. I had an ultrasound done and I have 1 large one, size of a lemon and a few smaller ones. The Dr. offered different treatment plans, one would be birth control pills but since I smoke and over 35 that really isn't an option and besides I've been on them before and they made me sick. Another would be where the Dr. would burn the lining of my uterus (can't remember the name of the procedure) and hopefully remove at least some of the tumors. She said about 30% of the women don't have periods anymore. This appealed to me but, I don't insurance. I'm 46 and the Dr. said that I'm probably starting perimenopause and the fibroids would naturally shrink without the estrogen that my body won't be making. I've had 3 very heavy periods within a 6 week time frame, which left me literally drained. Anyone else out there decided on letting nature take it's course instead of the surgery? |
- Posted by ilovedobies (My Page) on Sat, Aug 2, 08 at 3:26
Hot flashes were driving me crazy so I decided to try HRT. My periods were very heavy for a few years but one night when I was lying down I felt my stomach and I had a hugh lump hard as a rock. Went for testing and it was a fibroid the size of a grapefruit and two small ones. I was 55 at the time and still having periods. My doctors told me to stop the HRT immediately because of the estrogen. He told me I could have surgery or I could wait and it would shrink on its own. At the time we had a new puppy and I didn't want to leave him, even though I know my family would of taken care of him. It took a few months to shrink and I finally stopped having periods when I was fifty eight years old. |
Thanks lovedobies for responding. Glad to hear that someone else decided to wait for nature to take care of this problem. I really don't like the idea of surgery unless it is absoultely necessary or life threatening. Are they completely gone? |
- Posted by ilovedobies (My Page) on Sun, Aug 3, 08 at 4:14
Hi renee After a few months I went back for testing and they were gone. Just shrunk on their own like my doctor said, good luck with your decision. |
Uterine fibroid embolization is not surgery - it's a non-surgical procedure performed by an interventional radiologist. It can be very effective in resolving fibroid symptoms for people who don't want to live them for years while waiting for menopause. |

On the hard-hit Rockaway Peninsula, the risk of a major hurricane barreling down on the barrier island was always in the back of residents' minds. But while Sandy's destruction was always a nightmare that could happen, once it did, it ushered in a new standard of living.
Many Rockaway residents are prepared to raise their homes or completely rebuild, and city programs, though not without their criticisms, seem to be helping.
"The various programs in place are impressive when they come through," said John Cori of Friends of Rockaway Beach. "We definitely have issues with the Bloomberg administration, but in hindsight, it was extremely impressive. It gave people a better choice than going into trailers at Floyd Bennett Field."
Cori said that for many people, the problem remains getting funds from insurance claims to rebuild basements, but otherwise life on the peninsula is slowly returning to normal.
But the need for assistance in Rockaway is still apparent.
Rena Resnick, a spokeswoman for the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, said her organization is serving 2,000 ongoing clients and has taken up 6,000 new clients since the storm, most of whom are in the Rockaways. The council opened a restoration center on the peninsula for four months after the storm so residents could access federal relief agencies and the Red Cross.
On much of the peninsula, Sandy set a new standard for building resilient infrastructure.
In Arverne, L&M Development Partners was due to close on the Ocean Village complex at Beach 59th Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard the day of the storm. The firm ended up closing on it two weeks later.
"We didn't think about the possibility of not closing," said Rick Gropper, a project manager at L&M. "We thought about what to take from the storm and prepare for the next."
What that meant for the 1,093-unit complex was moving its electrical infrastructure from the basement to the ground floor — a "heavy undertaking" according to Gropper — as well as installing generators on the roofs of the development's high-rise buildings.
Post-Sandy construction at Ocean Village is 90 percent completed, Gropper said. Every unit is occupied, including many by Sandy victims who had lost their previous homes.
Broad Channel, which was especially hard hit, has come back to normal, according to resident Don Riepe, president of the Northeast Chapter of the American Littoral Society.
"Many people are raising their homes, I raised my floor," he said.
Riepe noted that there were a few people who have moved out, but most have stayed.
Dan Mundy Jr., president of the Broad Channel Civic Association, said the vast majority of residents have rebuilt or are in the process of rebuilding, but a number of them — roughly 15 percent — saw their homes completely destroyed and are waiting for funds from the $61 billion federal Sandy aid bill that was promised.
"There isn't a single person in Broad Channel who has gotten a penny to help out," he said. "We've got some people out here who are out of their house and need money. I don't understand, where did the money go?"

Sports Venue LED Displays Technology Showcase
Jan 5, 2011 12:00 PM, By Bennett Liles
Designed to provide high-quality video images in an outdoor, high-ambient-light environment, the TF-16BK module from Barco uses a flat black matrix background for high-contrast output and 16mm pixel pitch to deliver fine detail with a three-black-lamp LED configuration. Each tile is 60"x60" with a density of 3600 LEDs, producing a typical calibrated brightness of 6000 nits and a contrast ratio of 7000:1. The unit has 16-bit color processing and a 110-degree horizontal viewing angle to 50 percent brightness. It also features an 800Hz refresh rate and maximum power consumption of 400W with an average consumption of 120W. The tile is 37.8in. square, weighs 106lbs., and has a rated operating life of 100,000 hours. This is a vital specification on such equipment due to the high ticket investment made in these display systems. Each TF-16 tile is rain-rated (IP65 front, IP54 back) with clickable shaders, and each has an operating range spec of -31 degrees to 122 degrees Fahrenheit with a choice for maintenance access from the front or rear. The tiles can be mounted in flat, convex, or concave shaped frames to suit existing architecture.
For a small-footprint, lightweight-module design, D3 LED (Dynamic Digital Displays) offers the TrueElement Gigabit Ethernet-based outdoor LED display module with 16-bit color processing, diagnostic features, and diode level color calibration provided by its Windows-based control system. Each 14.9in.-square tile weighs less than 20lbs. and is weather-sealed by two vacuum-molded rear cover panels. Each unit has its own temperature-sensing, forced-air cooling with auto-high-temp shutoff, a data distribution system, and onboard memory. When one module is substituted for another, the replacement automatically imports its address and calibration data from those around it through the bottom-mounted RJ-45 port. Each module is installed into a steel frame by way of a spring-loaded four-point latching system with adjustment pins, allowing access from front or rear using no special tools. The TrueElement Smart Module is designed with a recessed area on the bottom that includes connection ports for power, data, and ventilator. Pixel pitch availability ranges from 8mm to 24mm, and the TrueElement Front End Video System accepts high-def signals including uncompressed HD-SDI, HDMI, and Blu-ray.
Daktronics fields a wide variety of LED signage products including indoor/outdoor tile modules and ribbon board displays. Among the outdoor LED display modules offered is the DVX line with sealed inputs and outputs along with a louvered face to increase contrast in high ambient light and mask the seams between panels. The DVX products range in pixel pitch from 10mm, with a minimum viewing distance of 22ft., to the 26mm module, with a minimum viewing distance of 59ft. The smaller 10mm and 12mm resolution modules use three-in-one SMD pixels providing a viewing angle of 140 degrees horizontal and 75 degrees vertical. The larger-pitch modules use discrete red, green, and blue LEDs. The modules use adaptive cabinet mounting for a range of available display shapes and allow LED-level (sub-pixel) processing for smooth motion and sharp lines. The displays are rated at 100,000 hours, and system health monitoring is done through Intelligent Device Management (IDM). The Venus 7000 display controller can be used for video, fascia, and message center displays, and with its Quick Display feature, it can launch synchronized presentations with background audio. A calibration feature allows newer, brighter LED modules to be matched to older ones to avoid a patchwork appearance.
One of the newest and most advanced integrated LED video displays has been provided by Lighthouse Jumbovision for the Bradley Center, home of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks. Designed by Anthony James Partners and integrated by TS Sports, the Bradley Center's new center-hung video board features more than 1,000 square feet of Lighthouse Pi6-S 6mm-pitch LED video distributed across four main screens, plus 300 linear feet of Lighthouse Pi10-FA 10mm-pitch entertainment strips encircling both the top and bottom of the center-hung videoboard. In addition to a scoring matrix and four LED video corner wedges that feature the home team's logo, the center-hung videoboard boasts a world's first underside LED video display featuring a Lighthouse P16i/o (16mm) screen, which is capable of displaying video, logos, and animations. The Bradley Center's one-of-a-kind center-hung video display features more than 2,500 square feet and nearly 3.5 million pixels of LED video. The new video system is 29ft. tall and 32 ft. wide, and it weighs approximately 50,000lbs. One of the most beneficial aspects of the all-LED video system is its versatility. In addition to the Bucks, the Bradley Center hosts Milwaukee Admirals hockey, Marquette University basketball, and Milwaukee Iron arena football. The new scoreboard can be customized to provide a true home court or field for each team.

The genuine product is usually priced around the range of 45-55 USD. Any price range, which is too much below the above-mentioned range, might be a fraud product campaign.
Dr. Clifford's video elaborates that the ketone is a chemical compound derived from raspberries. This compound is responsible for the very luscious smell of the fruit.

I live in west Tennessee, where we have had extreme high temperatures and drought conditions for several weeks. I have several cherry tomato plants that are absolutely LOADED with cherry tomatoes that are not ripening. They begin to change and then burst on the vine unless I pick them early. When I bring them inside some ripen but others stay orange. Any ideas? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Splitting is always a problem. Especially with heat extremes. It caused by inconsistent soil moisture levels - wet soil followed by dry and then by wet, etc. So the best bet is to adjust your watering pattern as much as possible and pick the fruit at blush (aka break stage) before watering. Some varieties are more prone to splitting than others so what variety are you growing? Are your plants well mulched? How and how often do you water? Have you been pruning the plants at all? Can you shade the plants in any way from the late afternoon sun? More info please. Dave |

WHATEVER IT TAKES Broadcast Premiere
CAAM is proud to announce the national PBS premiere of Christopher Wong's award-winning documentary "Whatever It Takes" on March 30, 2010 on Independent Lens.
CAAM is proud to announce the national PBS premiere of Christopher Wong's award-winning documentary "Whatever It Takes" on March 30, 2010 on Independent Lens.
Part II. FEATURE DOCUMENTARIES
With SFIAAFF 2010 fast approaching, we here at CAAM thought it'd be an opportune time to look back and pay a visit to some of the featured films and artists from our last festival, and to catch up with them about the progress of their films since SFIAAFF 2009.
The San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival (March 12 – 22, 2009), presented by the Center for Asian American Media, wrapped with an estimated attendance of over 25,000, including over 200 filmmakers, actors and industry guests.
It's hard to believe, but I can finally announce that WHATEVER IT TAKES has been completed! At times, I never thought my film would be done. There was always another scene to shoot, another rough cut to edit, another technical detail to manage. But through it all we persevered, and now we are ready to show our film to the world.
Last month, something happened which reminded me that I'm not just making a film. In documentary, we're not just dealing with footage that we shot a few months ago; we're dealing with individuals whose lives continue evolve. This is real life, and sometimes things change for the better, sometimes for the worse. In this case, it was definitely the latter…
Right before you start a documentary film, before you shoot a second of footage, what do you have? You might know who your main characters will be, but you have no idea of how they will "perform" on camera. You might know the history behind your project, but who knows how you'll portray it. What we do have, of course, is a vision of what the film can be. This latter vision was the genesis for my documentary WHATEVER IT TAKES.
So I need to apologize again for the long absence between blog posts here… As you might imagine, things have been incredibly busy as we get to the very end of the film. Right now, we are consumed with three major tasks: finishing the edit, crafting the animation, and choosing a composer.
What's more interesting in a documentary? A story about one person or many? If you capture the lives of four or five individuals, it seems like you would have an interesting mix of narrative threads to follow. But if you follow just one person around, you might not get enough action to fill out your film.
Well, kind of… I should explain. Since July 2007, WHATEVER IT TAKES has been supported by the Sundance Institute Documentary Fund. Besides CAAM, Sundance has been our other major backer, providing us with not only a large grant, but also much needed creative and technical assistance.
Everyone tells you that you can't make a film by yourself. So true. But while it's absolutely crucial to have a wonderful camera crew and editing team, it also really helps to have an awesome film organization (or two) backing you up. For this project, we have had amazing support from CAAM, and I want to spend some time bragging about them… (FYI, CAAM did not put me up to this; this is completely my own doing.)

I'm just daydreaming ahead a few months....
But, my Monstera is walking on the wild side. We haven't decided if it's going to stay in this house & get trained around (in that case, no or less pruning) or move when I move, or what. The leaves aren't all that large, but the petioles are VERY long - like, 24"! many years of lowish light, I suppose? - so it just looks outta control. It is outta control. Anyone know how it will respond to pruning? I also have a red Phil that is wildly leggy with little leaves - for sure a low-light issue! - that I'm also thinking of pruning in... oh, 6 months or so. It's on a make-shift trellis & happily climbing, but looking... well, ratty. Lots of new growth on both of them though! Thanks All!
Follow-Up Postings:
It will respond happily to pruning by making more branches in the axils (crotches) of leaves on the branches you pruned at least the ends off of. Pruning all branches back to 2 leaves and eliminating the branches that don't contribute to an attractive appearance is the best way to a full and balanced plant. Al |

A tweet from Mark Shriver clued us into this column by New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof (published February 4, 2012):
A BATTLE between a class of fourth graders and a major movie studio would seem an unequal fight.
So it proved to be: the studio buckled. And therein lies a story of how new Internet tools are allowing very ordinary people to defeat some of the most powerful corporate and political interests around — by threatening the titans with the online equivalent of a tarring and feathering.
Take Ted Wells's [at left], fourth-grade class [14 kids] in [the Park School] in Brookline, Mass. The kids read the Dr. Seuss story "The Lorax" and admired its emphasis on protecting nature, so they were delighted to hear that Universal Studios would be releasing a movie version in March. But when the kids went to the movie's Web site, they were crushed that the site seemed to ignore the environmental themes.
So last month they started a petition on Change.org, the go-to site for Web uprisings. They demanded that Universal Studios "let the Lorax speak for the trees." The petition went viral, quickly gathering more than 57,000 signatures, and the studio updated the movie site with the environmental message that the kids had dictated.
"It was exactly what the kids asked for — the kids were through the roof," Wells told me, recalling the celebratory party that the children held during their snack break. "These kids are really feeling the glow of making the world a better place. They're feeling that power." ....

I planted a bare-root Dwarf North Star Cherry this spring. It had two bare branches, which happily started leafing out and it was doing very well for many months. Now suddenly this last month the leaves have turned yellow/orange and there seem to be bugs of some sort living on the under side of the leaves. Can anyone tell me what this may be? And what I should do to fix it? |
Follow-Up Postings:
It's a case of Black cherry aphid. Your leaves will start to curl if ants start farming the aphids. Spray with Spectracide Triazicide or another approved insecticide. |
Thanks BSmith! I always thought aphids would be smaller. Huh. Guess I'd better go to the store. |

Hi. I'm getting ready to cut back my spreading purple lantana and I would like to share some of it with all my new friends here on garden web. Am I better off taking cuttings and trying to root them (?rooting hormone vs water) or should I try to pull out rooted segments?

I have rooted lots of Lantana, I find the most tender ends easiest to root. I usually have a plastic pot (usually the hanging basket type) filled with potting soil. I nip about 2 inches just below a node, strip off bottom leaves, dip in rooting hormone, tap excess off, and plunk into this pot. I get lots of new Lantana plants that way. They grow pretty well in the pot, often if I don't get them transplanted, I just bring the plant into the garage for the winter, keep it watered near a window and it is great in the spring and has grown a lot. I find Lantana a very easy plant to propagate. Pauline |

I would be interested in becoming a recipient of the purple lantana. Thank you |
- Posted by gardenpaws_VA z7 NoVA (My Page) on Tue, Oct 4, 05 at 21:57
I'm not sure about propagation of L. montevidensis (purple or white), but I should know more soon, as I have a couple of whites I want to keep over and propagate. The small-leaved forms of L. camara (possibly a hybrid? I don't know the genetics, but the leaves are about the same size as L. mont.) root easily for me, either in water or just stuck in whatever pot is handy. I've been practicing on mine for over 25 years now, as I still have a plant that was (potted) part of my wedding decorations. |
I am interested in propagating a lantana from my neighborhood school yard. It is the most wonderful, deep red that I have ever seen. Thanks for the great instructions. Wondering if there is any issue with copyright when taking cuttings from plants that you don't own? |

Barstow College Music Department |
Mr. Timothy E. Garvin, Director of Bands I was a student for 2 years at Riverside Community College before transferring to California State University, San Bernardino. I reflect back on my musical training and experiences at RCC with gratitude and appreciation. I learned much about music education, performance preparation, and music literature while attending a community college. I support the California Community Colleges and highly recommend them to any student who desires the opportunity to learn and build upon their passion for music. B.A. in Music, California State University, San Bernardino (for more biography, logon to – www.barstowhsmusic.org) Barstow College Concert Band (Music 6 A B C) In the spring of 1987, I began teaching the Barstow College Concert Band as a substitute director for Dr. Bill Graham. After a very successful semester, I was hired as the band director at BCC with Dr. Graham's recommendation. Dr. Graham's health made it impossible for him to continue. Since that time, the Barstow College Concert Band has grown to an ensemble of over 50 musicians and has become a top quality performance ensemble. I invite anyone who loves to play their instrument to join us. No audition required. In the fall of 1990, the Barstow College music department expanded to offer a jazz reading class, which involved sight-reading and studying the various styles in the world of jazz education. With a group starting with 9 players, the ensemble has grown to a 25 member "Big Band" which performs regularly throughout the high desert. Reflecting back on some of the highlights, the Jazz Ambassadors have performed at Bally's Grand Hotel in Las Vegas, Pacific Coast Jazz Festival, Citrus College Jazz Festival, and the River Palms Hotel in Laughlin, NV. The Jazz Ambassadors have become a fine ensemble and a great representative of Barstow Community College. I invite anyone who plays an instrument and loves jazz to join us. No audition required. If you would like to play your instrument again, but perhaps you're thinking it's been too long since you've played. No matter, there is no audition required to join either the BCC Concert Band or Jazz Ambassadors. All you need is the desire to play music and have fun doing it. I have always commented that the bands at Barstow College are fun because the members seem very happy during rehearsals and performances. Based on the fact that most bands are generally very stressful with many of the members experiencing anxiety, please come out and try us out. You will have fun.. You will soon realize that making music is fun, enjoyable, and relaxing. More important, we will achieve the highest quality musical performance together. Please contact me, Mr. Timothy Garvin, at any of the listed contact points. Thanks again for your interest in BCC Instrumental Music.
