Alexia Obar: Involved, In Touch and in it for the Long Haul!
Caring and Involved:
My name is Alexia Obar and I am running for School Committee. I have been an active volunteer with the Wayland Public Schools since 2004 when my oldest child entered Kindergarten. My involvement spans a wide range of activities; town-wide volunteer for the Elementary and Middle School Cultural Enrichment Committee, PTO leader and member of Superintendent Dr. Stein's Elementary Building Use Task Force, which recommended returning to K-5 neighborhood schools.
My extensive involvement with the schools currently as a class room volunteer, PTO leader and parent of children at the elementary, middle school, and high school level afford me a comprehensive view of the Wayland Public School system.
I honed my skills in the State Legislature as Chief of Staff where I coordinated statewide coalitions to pass legislation and gained extensive experience with state budgets. The process and data analysis on which I worked extensively, provided me the experience needed to work on our evolving and complex school budget.
Stays in touch as a team player does:
Communication is the cornerstone of a strong school system. Good communication reveals conflicting viewpoints and encourages problem solving through compromise. As a former Legislative Director I have a keen interest in listening to other people's divergent viewpoints and being a thoughtful problem solver.I believe communication is crucial to maintaining and cultivating a prized school system. As MS PTO President, I introduced the highly popular "Middle and More Coffees" to facilitate conversations between parents, teachers and administrators about various topics at the Middle School. It is time to reenergize and reunite the various groups in our community in their shared goal to support a strong and fiscally responsible school system, by working together to find efficiencies.
As a member of the School Committee I would be receptive and proactive in responding to the needs of our students, parents, teachers, and the community at large. We need to rebuild trust through communication. I would encourage the entire committee to enter into dialogue with staff, administration, and the public regarding all aspects of our schools including educational, business, and administrative matters.
Long Term Oriented:
With Children in all 3 levels of our school districts, I have a lot invested in this system and thus have a critical long term view. I am dedicated to the success of students at every level.I plan to use my skills and experience to help bring the invaluable resources in our community together through the development of more task force initiatives. This town is chock full of great intellect and skillful people who are willing to donate their time for the betterment of our children. An example of this was a task force I was fortunate to be a part of that studied the reconfiguration of the elementary schools. Together we will develop thoughtful proactive plans and eliminate reactive decision making. Through strong leadership and the use of sub-committees to gather data and present solutions to issues facing our district we can continue to make Wayland schools a leading district.

Dear Tax Talk, Can I open a Roth IRA if my only income is from rental property and interest? Is income from being a landlord considered earned income? I am looking for a way to put this money into a fund that does not pay taxes or need to be declared for the next three to five years. -- Maddy
Dear Maddy, In order to set up an IRA, Roth or otherwise, you (or in the case of a married couple filing jointly, either spouse) must have taxable compensation, which is a more precise way of saying earned income. Compensation for purposes of an IRA includes wages, salaries, commissions, self-employment income, alimony and separate maintenance. It does not include earnings and profits from property, interest and dividend income, pension or annuity income, deferred compensation, income from certain partnerships or any amounts excluded from income (such as from Form 2555, relating to the foreign earned income exclusion).
Since rental income is not considered compensation for purposes of an IRA, you cannot make an IRA contribution. If you have sufficient rental activities and you're keen on contributing to an IRA, then you might want to consider setting up a management company that would employ you to manage the properties.
For example, you can set up an S corporation that receives a management fee from each property. Those fees are deducted on the rental property Schedule E and, in effect, wash with the income realized by the S corporation. The S corporation uses these fees to pay you a salary, which allows you to make your IRA contribution.
However, an IRA is really not an investment to make for three to five years. At a minimum, a Roth IRA needs to be around for five years in order to achieve the tax-free return you're looking for on growth within the account.

Stock 2013 Jeep Wrangler JK with 35″ Tires
One of the more common questions we're asked is what size of tire can our Flat Style Flares accomodate with a JK's stock ride height? The internal debate has always been between a 33″x12.50″ and 35″x12.50″ – the 35″ rubbing slightly . The biggest culprit that rubbed the 35′s was the JK's pinch seam located in the rear wheel well (Forum thread on seam removal). This frivolous extension of the body serves no real function, and can seriously scrape the tread on your tires when articulating.
So we decided to put the 35″ tire theory to the test, and took a stock 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and threw our Flat Style Flares and 35″x12.5″ KM2 M/T's on it. Paired with Hanson bumpers – our Rubicon with a stock suspension was ready to tackle the Big Bear Jeep Jamboree! Continue reading

Evolution of macromolecular assemblies
Our interdisciplinary research coalesces at the junction of macromolecular crystallography, molecular evolution, biochemistry, and structural bioinformatics. The lab's main long-term goal is to elucidate the pathways and mechanisms by which the structures and functions of macromolecular complexes evolve. Several interrelated projects are currently underway, all of which involve studying the three-dimensional structures of macromolecular complexes by integrating empirical experimentation with bioinformatics.
Crystals and 2.8 Å diffraction of a resurrected ancestral enzyme, malate dehydrogenase from green sulfur bacteria (Chlorobia)
The structures and functions of biological macromolecules are the end-products of a historical process, which in some cases may stretch back over the past 3-4 billion years. Hence a precise molecular understanding of macromolecular assemblies ultimately must be informed by evolutionary mechanisms. For knowledge of the macromolecular structure-function relationship, we consider it essential to explicitly incorporate modern developments in population genetics, phylogenetics, and probability theory. Conversely, structural knowledge also informs evolutionary inferences.
Our lab is interested in many diverse, basic, and unresolved problems in molecular evolution:
- What are the mechanisms by which new functions evolve?
- What are the physical constraints on protein evolution?
- How can we reliably distinguish distant homology from convergence in structurally similar protein domains?
- How do substitutions distal from the active site affect catalytic activity?
- Are ancestral enzymes functionally promiscuous? Does specificity increase during evolution?
- To what extent is evolution adaptive or due to chance events?
- How many substitutions are required for evolution of a new function (e.g., a new binding interface)?
- Do novel functions evolve by small or large increments?
- How "reversible" are evolutionary trajectories? Does the order of substitutions matter?
- What is the importance of correlations among mutations (epistasis)?
- Do the functional and structural effects of beneficial mutations and substitutions conform to an exponential distribution, as predicted by some modern theories of natural selection?
- How do protein structures and functions respond to real, historical amino acid substitutions? Are they different from the artificial mutations we engineer in modern enzymes?
The answers to these questions have broad implications for understanding the protein structure-function relationship, including rational efforts to design (and redesign) proteins for particular functions.
Bayesian methods in structural bioinformatics
From a Bayesian viewpoint, probability is a measure of a degree of belief, and thus probability theory can formally be considered as an extension of classic Aristotelian logic in the presence of uncertainty. In recent years Bayesian statistics has experienced a great resurgence, due to theoretical advances, massive increases in computing power, and successful applications to complex and difficult scientific problems.
Bayes theorem, the universal acid relating empirical observations to theory (data D to a hypothesis H)
Accurate analysis of structural differences and commonalities is of fundamental importance for understanding the structure, function, and evolution of biological macromolecules. For the past 40 years, structural analysis methods have relied on the biophysically unrealistic and restrictive least-squares criterion to find optimal superpositions. We are developing probabilistic models of structural change that can take advantage of powerful maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian techniques, which will greatly expand our abilities to accurately superposition, align, and analyze structural conformations. While we concentrate specifically on the conformations of macromolecules, the methods we are developing have broad mathematical generality and will impact not only molecular structural biology but also an unusually wide range of scientific fields, including any that compare the shapes and conformations of objects.
We are also interested in developing likelihood and Bayesian methods for single-molecule structural analysis and electron microscopy image reconstruction.
Mechanisms of single-stranded nucleic acid recognition
Specific recognition of single-stranded nucleic acids by proteins is crucial for maintaining, manipulating, and utilizing the genetic material contained in cells. Single-stranded nucleic acid recognition participates in a large variety of fundamental, dynamic biological functions, including telomere regulation, mRNA splicing, DNA replication, transcription regulation, DNA damage repair, stages in bacterial and viral life cycles, translation, and retrotransposition. More generally, non-specific binding of single-stranded nucleic acids is also essential for DNA damage repair, DNA replication, apoptosis, recombination, chromosomal condensation, and bacterial conjugation. Consequently, protein recognition of single-stranded nucleic acids has been clearly implicated in many pathological processes in humans, ranging from cancer, aging, various infectious diseases, autoimmune illnesses, to drug dependency.
In the past few years, several high-resolution structures of sequence-specific ssDNA and ssRNA complexes have been determined. The intermolecular interactions observed in these structures hint at possible mechanisms for sequence-specific recognition, and several common themes have emerged. However, relative to double-stranded DNA complexes, very little is known regarding mechanisms of single-stranded nucleic acid recognition. We are using a combination of crystallographic studies, bioinformatics, and evolutionary analysis to explore mechanisms of single-stranded nucleic acid recognition in various model systems, including telomeric proteins and transcription regulators of toxin expression in pathogenic bacteria.
The hippogriff (part eagle, part lion, part horse) in the image above symbolizes the empirical testability of evolutionary theory: Given what we know of the evolution and phylogeny of modern animals, we conclude that such a creature will never be found, neither living nor fossilized.

The folders may not be the same, but they will be similar sounding, just copy the files into the folders which are similar sounding. OR try downloading the drivers as rpm's from rpm.pbone.net or rpmfind

I'm modifying my PV system.
I'm in an area of heavy timber and can't avoid occasional shading of some of my panels. The bottoms of one or more panels will be shaded for some time as the sun moves.
To increase efficiency do I need to install blocking diodes on the outputs of each panel? Or will the factory installed bypass diodes take care of this?
I have KC 135's and a couple of similar Sharp's.
I am also planning to replace my present mppt controller (it's too small for my additional panels) with a pwm controller because of this shading problem. Is it true that mppt controllers have a problem with intermittent shading?
I am also planning on installing an ammeter that can be switched off. Is it better to open the leads from the shunt or short them with the switch? If shorting is better must the switch and conductors be rated for the ampacity of the circuit?

This March, Princeton Tec will unveil a new outdoor/all-purpose headlamp that should hit the sweet spot for weekend warriors and backpackers looking to light up the backcountry (or brave a power outage). The design of the Vizz itself is nearly idiot-proof, with one big button—and that's about it. Press the button once and you illuminate two ultra-bright red LEDs, press it twice and get dual ultra-bright white LEDs. You can also hold the button down to cycle through the modes, which includes a 150-lumin max-bright LED that can illuminate up to 90 feet. The Vizz is waterproof down to one meter for up to half an hour, and runs on three AAA batteries—with a built-in power meter to let you how much juice you've got left in the estimated 160-hour run time; a low-battery indicator also triggers when you're down to 20 percent.
Show Me: Most Recent
This inventive flashlight from Snow Peak reminds us of a lavaliere microphone. You clip the battery pack to…wherever (belt, pack, tent pole, tree branch). Then you affix the powerful magnet on the light to another location—the brim of your baseball cap, the seam of your coat, your shoulder strap, a fold or pocket in a tent; the magnetic is strong enough to make a connection through your fingertip. It's a fun, highly versatile way of directing up to 70 lumens of illumination where you want it. You can also nestle it on the batter pack itself to create more subdued ambient light.
It runs on three AAA batteries, runs for 140 hours on the lowest of three settings, and will hit the shelves in late March/early April.

"Throw away all your old flashlights and headlamps," said our tester after taking the NAO on a three-week road trip. "The reactive-lighting NAO is the only headlamp you'll need, or want to use." We don't take the word "revolutionary" lightly, but the new NAO headlamp is worth getting excited about. In contrast to other lamps, the 400-lumen NAO has a beam that automatically adjusts to focus on your target. If you're pouring over topo maps, the light adjusts to a wide beam with low output. When you look out the tent fly to see if it's a raccoon or bear rustling by the picnic table, the beam focuses, with greater light intensity for—drum roll please—a distance of 300 feet. Other advantages include fewer manual adjustments and a better burn time than any other headlamp we've tested. The NAO comes with a single rechargeable lithium battery that's guaranteed for 300-plus charges—we didn't do the math, but that's a lot of alkaline batteries you won' t need to buy. Each charge provides nearly five hours of use in high Reactive mode (the auto-adjust) or eight hours in low Reactive. You can set the lamp on a constant function, which disables the sensor, but cuts significantly into the battery life, as the Reactive power setting really does make power use more efficient. The rechargeable battery can be replaced with 2 AAA batteries, but our testers swear that the rechargeable battery ups the lamp's performance. We were leery of the downloadable battery management program that allows you to adjust the light intensity, burn time, and beam distance on a computer, but are happy to report that even techno-troglodytes found it easy (and fun) to customize the lamp's performance. The easiest option is using the custom profiles pre-programmed to enhance performance for specific activities like climbing, running, trail running, and hiking. Two features worth noting: a big off-on knob that's easy to manipulate with gloves or in the dark and a water-resistant shell that never leaked, even during a monster Texas monsoon that one tester encountered while night hiking up a mesa near Lajitas.

We seldom like it when people take something we love and mess with it—but in this instance, we applaud the move. The Hozuki Lantern is an icon in Snow Peak's camping boutique line, and the Mini is a smaller, perhaps wiser considering the price, alternative. Named after the sacred plant that served as the design for the ancient Chinese paper lantern, this light includes an innovative "candle mode" that lets the LED flicker in response to sound or wind—you get that candle-lit ambience in your tent without, you know…burning down your tent. The light has other settings as well, including high, low, stobe, and variable dim. Fed by 3 AA batteries, it'll burn for 70 hours (on low). Max lumens come in at 60—sufficient for reading or doing the dishes. Oh, and its only two inches tall.
In stores October 15
www.snowpeak.com, 2.3 ounces (without batteries)
Hand's-free lighting is a no-brainer industry standard, and the headlamp tech race is mostly focused on brighter lights and intuitive innovations that adjusts a headlamp's brightness as you look at different things. But we like how Snow Peak has taken a different approach and addressed the collective desire for some ambient light when you no longer need to light at the point at which you're specifically look. When you're done with your targeted lighting needs, just pop open the rubber mounting on the 2.2-inch-diameter light and you get 180-degree glow, perfect for mellow light in a tent or at base camp. Four light modes—high, low, strobe, and variable, which dims as you hold the power button—offers a variety of moods, and a hook on the back of the strap lets the lantern dangle off a tree branch or the inside of a tent. Then, when you need to shift back to headlamp mode, push in the rubber ball and you've got directional lighting. It runs on three AAA batteries, with 140 hours on low (eight lumens). It won't win any svelte design awards, and when testing the head lamp, it would occasional pop into lantern mode. We could still see, of course. But those who plan on using it mostly as a headlamp would likely prefer a more fail-safe option.

Origin of EURO
Rhymes with EURO
adjective \ˈyu̇r-(ˌ)ō\euro
noun (Concise Encyclopedia)Single currency of 16 countries of the European Union (EU), including Germany, France, and Italy. It is also the official currency in several areas outside the EU. The euro was adopted as a unit of exchange in January 1999. Those who advocated the currency believed it would strengthen Europe as an economic power, increase international trade, simplify monetary transactions, and lead to pricing equality throughout Europe. Euro currency notes and coins were introduced in January 2002 and became the sole national currency in all participating countries by March 1. Britain and Sweden decided not to adopt the euro immediately, and voters in Denmark rejected it.

Colaiannia says that Kerstner--who now lives in Ohio and is eagerly awaiting a Colaiannia concert in Columbus next month--made him appreciate that there was more to playing the piano than just scales.
"She always made it interesting," he says. "I was having trouble with this one Rachmaninoff piece. I just couldn't get it. She said, 'If you play it properly, you'll hear water in the background.' I thought she was this crazy old lady. I played it and played it, and I didn't hear anything. Then I started to hear it. She was right. That's when I realized you could create emotion through music."
Colaiannia took lessons from Kerstner for seven years. When she moved away, he studied with Kathleen Joiner, then the pianist for the Denver Symphony Orchestra. But he soon had a falling out with Joiner over his refusal to give up playing basketball; Joiner didn't want him to risk injuring his hands. He had a shot at a traditional career as a concert pianist, but Colaiannia wasn't prepared to invest the kind of single-minded devotion to classical music that would lead him to a conservatory.
"I thought if I did that, I would end up teaching piano in a basement somewhere to a bunch of kids who didn't want to learn it anyway," Colaiannia says now. "I wanted more out of life. I knew if I was ever going to do music, it would be my music. And if nobody in the world liked it, so what?"
With his parents solidly in his corner, Colaiannia went on to earn a basketball scholarship to the University of Colorado. He never quite abandoned the piano--he played ragtime at the venerable Red Slipper club, accompanied silent movies at the Hungry Farmer, then slipped into the soft hell of the cocktail-lounge circuit--but most of his energy was poured into pre-med classes. Colaiannia had an idea that he might make a pretty fair heart surgeon. After three years he had most of the requirements for medical school completed but was still a few credits short of an undergraduate degree. A counselor suggested that he apply to dental school, just for the practice. Much to Colaiannia's surprise, he was accepted. Curiouser still, he decided to check it out.
"I thought that if I turned them down, I probably wouldn't get into medical school," he says, "so I went ahead and accepted the position."
Dentistry paid the bills, but Colaiannia was soon bored with the routine. He turned to buying and selling practices, then became the director of a dental-insurance company. His musical career had dwindled to occasional stints with fleeting rock bands. Once in a while he got to rub shoulders with celebrity--a studio session with Alice Cooper, performances at private parties for the likes of David Niven and Sid Caesar; even a backstage meeting in his youth with his idol, Liberace, who advised him that family was very important--but as the years wore on, it seemed that Colaiannia was not destined to shake up the music world after all. To most of the people he met, he was Dr. Lou.
Two events several years apart helped turn things around for Colaiannia. In 1988 an acquaintance asked him if he could provide the background music for an instruction tape in meditation that was being prepared by a Boulder company. "Up until then, I'd been trying to write songs that someone would play in a piano bar some day, with lyrics and everything," Colaiannia says. "I'd never done anything that might be considered new age."
The company paid him a hundred dollars for his piano ramblings. The tape was so successful that another version, featuring just the music, was quickly released and sold thousands of copies. Colaiannia never saw another dime from the venture, but his emerging rep as a new-age composer secured him a concert at Chautauqua in Boulder, sponsored by radio station KHIH-FM/95.7. That in turn led to several offers from Narada and other record labels. Unfortunately, the timing was all wrong. Colaiannia was a divorced single parent; his son, Louis III, was only five years old. The labels expected him to perform as many as 300 concerts a year. Colaiannia figured touring was out of the question until his son was older.
He would, he decided, concentrate on composing rather than performing. But he kept his work to himself, right up to the death of his father in 1994. Colaiannia was devastated.
"My father and I were extremely close," he says. "Best friends. Dad was the person who always said I could do whatever I decided to do. He would even come to the concerts when I was in a heavy-metal band. He hated the music, but he would come. When he died, I was the executive director of an insurance company, and it looked like that was all I was going to be."
The loss of Louis Sr. sparked something in Colaiannia. He began building a theme around the notes D-A-D, a piece that developed with a certain classical rigor but oozed new-age romanticism. "That was my personal space to go and grieve," Colaiannia says. "I could think about my dad and it was okay. I never wanted anybody to hear that song."

Tickle tongues' taste receptors with six of Black Mesa's wines and six New Mexican cheeses, earthier alternatives to showy moon gouda. Guests are gifted with two souvenir wine glasses and $20 towards a bottle of their choice, including Black Mesa's award-winning blends, such as Coyote, Antelope, and Black Beauty (prices range from $12.45-$34.50), ensuring at-home sips are enjoyed in more appropriate receptacles than plastic cups or "World's Best Cousin" mugs.
Ron and Olha Dolin didn't discover their shared passion for wine and spirits until after they were married. Together they use Ron's Ph.D. in engineering and Olha's generational knowledge of producing vodka and brandy in Eastern Europe to craft handmade wines and fine spirits. Their wines include the specialty Emotion series, which includes cherry sherry, apple ice wine, and a wine made from rose petals. The two also distill spirits ranging from blue corn vodka and bourbon to gin made from New Mexico juniper, pinon, chamisa, sage, and rose hips.
On a leisurely drive through Santa Barbara, Ron Midgett glimpsed cymbidium orchids growing in people's yards. The cluster of star-shaped blooms, the vibrant hues, and the way the petals seemed to collapse into themselves all had Ron hooked.
Four decades later, he has taken his love of orchids far beyond the realms of adoration. He has grown orchids across the United States, bred his own blooms, and assessed hybrid blossoms as an accredited judge for the American Orchid Society. And at New Earth Orchids, he introduces gardeners to dozens of orchid breeds, earning a slew of positive press and love letters from bumblebees. Additionally, he strives to make orchid growing accessible to novice gardeners by providing growing tips, stocking proper supplies, and offering free workshops.

The Ottawa Senators have acquired defenceman Andy Sutton from the New York Islanders in exchange for a second round draft pick. Sutton has been a member of the Islanders since 2007-08 and has just over 500 NHL games under his belt.
Sutton isn't a particularly special player, but he is a competent defenceman who brings some useful stuff to the table. While a quick glance at his stats this season show a guy who doesn't have any offensive upside, Sutton isn't bad offensively; he's twice scored eight goals and three times topped the 20-point mark, while just last year he had 10 points in 23 games. He was a point-per-game player in college and put up surprisingly good numbers in the AHL as a young player and in 2004-05 tore up the second-tier Swiss league.
Offence isn't Sutton's calling card, though. He's 6'6" tall, plays with an edge, and while he isn't a top-tier shutdown guy he's very capable in his own end. He's started a lot in his own zone the last three years, and this year started getting matched against top opposition. His plus/minus for the woeful Islanders is a respectable minus-6 over 135 games, and his Corsi rates aren't outstanding but they're fairly good given the circumstances.
Ideally, Sutton slots in at around the number four or five slot on a decent defence corps. He's an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, so this should be viewed as strictly a rental trade (like the Dominic Moore trade but unlike yesterday's Denis Grebeshkov deal). Basically, I think the Senators acquired a good player but probably gave up more asset-wise than they really should have, while Garth Snow got good value back for a rental depth player.

Diabetes Educator of the Month: Sue Thom
Susan Thom, RD, LD, CDE, is a dietician and diabetes educator in Cleveland, Ohio. She runs a private practice called Diabetes Associates with her partner, an RN, and is involved in many local programs as well as national ones. Susan Thom is also the incoming president of the American Association of Diabetes Educators (AADE).
DIABETES HEALTH: How long have you been involved with diabetes care?
Susan Thom: Since I graduated from college, about 15 or 16 years ago. But I've had diabetes since I was 14, so I guess you could say I've been involved since then.
DI: Where do you work?
ST: I have a private practice in Cleveland called Diabetes Associates. I'm in practice with Sally Lybarger, a nurse who also has diabetes. We've been doing this for 6 years last month.
DI: What kind of patients do you see?
ST: Oh, we see all kinds of patients: gestational diabetes, type I's, type 2's...doctors refer a lot of people to us, some people look us up in the phone book because they want to have better control of their diabetes. We run a lot of programs: in-patient programs, trainings.... We have a program at a local college called "Diabetes Education Update." We also do programs for diabetes supply companies. We do a little bit of everything. I'm consulting once a week with a local hospital that doesn't have a diabetes program, and I'm setting one up. We both write for newsletters, and in fact I just finished my first book.
DI: Oh, really? What's it called?
ST: It's a book for teenagers called "You're in Control: A Teen's Guide to Diabetes," which I co-authored with Jean Betschart, RN, CDE. It should be coming out this fall.
DI: So what do you dislike about working with diabetes?
ST: I don't know, I enjoy teaching. I didn't think I would, but I do, and I'm good at it. I guess I hate the paperwork; I like to work with people but I know the paperwork is important, too. I also hate the fact that so many people are missing out on diabetes care because many doctors won't refer their patients to CDE's (Certified Diabetes Educators).
DI: What's your favorite part of being a CDE?
ST: The teaching, being around people; I'm a people person. I also enjoy my activities with the AADE (American Association of Diabetes Educators). I get energized just by being around all these creative people.
DI: What's your favorite diabetes book?
ST: It's kind of funny, but my favorite is the very first book I read when I was 14 and was first diagnosed with diabetes: "The Peripatetic Diabetic" by Barbara Toohey and June Biermann. I read it three times, cover to cover, and was really impressed by all the information it contained.
DI: Do you have any tips for diabetes educators or people with diabetes?
ST: Try to be as scheduled as you can be: schedule time out for yourself. I have a general philosophy: If you work hard, play hard to achieve a balance. I work hard, sometimes through the weekend, but I play hard too. If possible, get a job doing what you like to do. I know that some people can't, but it reduces stress, and that helps with blood sugar control.
Another tip is to get to know your body. People need to know how their body reacts to different factors. Doing imagery and relaxation techniques have helped me; I know all my red flags for hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Many people don't know their bodies at all.
DI: You're a dietician, do you have any food tips?
ST: Yes, don't be overly rigid with your diet. I eat what I want in moderation; moderation is the key. I'm a vegetarian so I can have dessert; I gave up red meat for dessert.

My Hall`s Honeysuckle vine took a beating this winter and it has alot more dead than green in it. Should i prune it hard now or wait till later. It covers the top of my 30 ft fence so the branches are very thick, How can i tell if the branches still have any life in them? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Honeysuckles are tough plants. It is extremely hard to kill them. The large branches I 'm pretty sure are still alive. If you want to check, you can scrape a bit of the bark off and see if there is still green in them indicating that it is still alive. But if you don't see any sign of life on a branch when other branches are leafing, it is probably dead. You can prune the dead branches anytime. The honeysuckle will recover fully in no time! |

Why do astronomers use telescopes?
Astronomers use telescopes because they're much better than our eyes. Here are a few reasons:
1 Telescopes see lots of colors - telescopes can collect light that our eyes are unable to: radio, microwave, infrared, ultraviolet, x-rays and gamma rays.
2 Telescopes collect lots of light - our pupils are only a few millimeters across, so we can only collect photons over a tiny area whereas telescopes can collect photons of huge areas (football fields worth for radio telescopes)
3 Telescopes see fine details - Because of the wave nature of light and the nerves in our eyes, we can only see details about the same angular size as Jupiter's width. Telescopes can allow us to resolve fine details - like Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
4 Telescopes can record observations with cameras - You can see things with your eye and draw them, but telescopes can share observations with the world! This is especially important for convincing skeptics what you saw was real!

Introduction to Queens Park
Queens Park is renowned as one of the finest Parks in the North West if not the whole of England. It is a traditional Victorian Park currently undergoing renovations to bring her back to her former glory. Within her 45 acres are walkways, trees, shrubs, planting, children's play area, crown green bowling, ornamental lake, grassed areas, memorials and Lakeside Pavilion. Originally given to the people of the town by the London and North Western Railway Company, she is steeped in history with a true Crewe engineering background.
Following recent renovations Queens Park is well worth a visit with Play programmes and a full programme of Summer Entertainment for all to enjoy. Refurbishment plans consist of a £6.5 million transformation, which includes support grant funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund valued at £2.7 million, with the remaining investment from WREN and Cheshire East Council.

Every case is different and we all have to answer that question for ourselves but here are a few pros and cons to think about.
Being published by an established book publisher
A. Advantages:
B. Disadvantages:
Self-Publishing a Book the Traditional Way
IV. Self-Publishing Using Print-on-Demand
For a detailed discussion of E-books, see the next article by Virginia Lawrence.
An Important New Direction in Publishing?
As artists, writers, and publishers using the Internet, we have all heard about e-books, yet there seems to be little e-book awareness in the popular press. Why? There are several reasons: no major player has caught the fancy of general-interest editorial staff, the methods used to create and deliver e-books are still in flux, and the questions of appropriate royalties and pricing remain open.
E-books available today range from simple text files to html files to Adobe pdf files to full-fledged multimedia extravaganzas. Some e-books are meant only for viewing on a full-size computer monitor, while others are built for printing, and others are formated especially for the Rocket Book or the Palm Pilot.
Consider e-book delivery systems: E-books can be sold on CDs or even floppies, so those delivery systems are reasonably straightforward for people who are somewhat familiar with a computer. E-books can also be sold in downloadable files. As long as a downloadable purchase process is streamlined and carefully explained, downloadable delivery can be a boon to both the purchaser and the publisher.
At last report, the major print publishers were offering the usual print royalties or even less in royalty to authors who agreed to be published in e-book format. At the same time, those publishers were charging hard-cover prices for e-books. This seems unnecessarily greedy, doesn't it?
An e-book delivered online as a file will require editing and formatting, but it will not require an expensive print run or storage of the resulting books. An e-book delivered online doesn't even have any shipping costs after the delivery system has been set up.
Of course, an e-book on a CD does involve duplication costs, but those are lower than hard-cover printing, and CD storage takes no more than one quarter the space required for book storage. Shipping costs for feather-light CDs are lower than for hardcover books.
The price of an e-book should reflect the publisher's lower costs. As the word
spreads in the popular media that e-books are available at reasonable prices, and e-books are available for immediate gratification by download, the real e-book groundswell will begin.
SPAWN will be part of that e-book groundswell as we offer our members a chance
to publish their books in e-book format. Watch this space for details very soon.

So Stephen Marche has offended the people of Toronto. Today on Grantland.com he posted an article calling Toronto "The Worst Sports City in the World." That's not the first time that a phrase along those lines has been uttered in regards to "the Centre of the Universe." In June ESPN The Magazine considered Toronto "the worst city in North America for pro sports."
Of course Grantland.com is run by Bill Simmons of ESPN.com. So apparently ESPN isn't too fond of Toronto. Torontonians are used to that. A lot of people hate Toronto.
But why is Toronto such a bad sports city, according to Marche?
As it stands, the Argonauts are 2 and 6 3 and 9. The Blue Jays this year aren't completely terrible, but when you've said that, you've said everything. They may be a rising power in the East, as many claim, but they sure haven't risen yet. The Raptors are still in their post-Bosh wilderness (not that the Bosh period was a golden age), and Toronto FC currently rests at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Leafs, who matter to Torontonians more than all the other teams combined, have not won the Stanley Cup since 1967, and they haven't made the playoffs in a franchise-record six seasons. The only team with a longer dry spell is the Florida Panthers.
Okay… when you look at it that way it's pretty sad. Most Torontonians would agree that the city isn't exactly successful in the professional sports realm. There are probably people reading this right now who weren't alive when the Blue Jays won the World Series in 1993.
No one would disagree with the downright futility that is the Toronto sports scene. However, that isn't the only reason why Toronto is considered the worst sports city in the world. Marche continues:
The tragedy of the Maple Leafs runs much deeper.
The problem with hockey in Toronto is the nostalgia that dominates how the game is played and consumed here. More than winning, Torontonians love the style of old-time hockey, a spirit of straightforwardness, brotherly violence, and what for lack of a better word I will call "not-fancyness." Hockey commentators here love nothing more than explaining how hockey games are won by cycling the puck, driving at the net, ugly goals. "They don't look pretty, but they win games." They love saying that.
Despite having more money than any other hockey team in the league, the Leafs have not purchased any brilliant players in an era overflowing with brilliant players. What the Leafs specialize in is the great bush-league heroes — this is not an accident nor is it the fault of the suits. They know what their audience wants and they give it to them.
Apparently Toronto Maple Leaf fans don't want talented players. They want grinders. To a certain extent, that's true. Brian Burke loves to talk about "pugnacity, testosterone, truculence and belligerence," but he isn't the only general manager who thinks that way. The Boston Bruins just won the Stanley Cup with a pretty "truculent" team. Besides, how do you "purchase" a brilliant player anyway? Don't free agents have a say in where they play?
They do and they're not choosing to come to Toronto.
But are Toronto Maple Leafs fans somehow responsible for this? Do they want the "wrong" type of players on their team and that's what is holding the Leafs back?
Cathal Kelly of the Toronto Star has his own viewpoint on Marche's assessment:
Toronto fans, there's a reason why the Brad Richards' of the world won't come here — it's because they're afraid of disappointing you. That's a healthy fear. As soon as that fear fades, we're on the path to becoming Nashville or the Islanders.
Kelly disagrees that Toronto sports fans are bad or that the city is somehow become used to losing, but he does make a good point: Why would a talented NHL player come to play in Toronto (and likely struggle) in front of a now angry fan base?
"Being a Leafs fan right now isn't some sort of hippy celebration of ineptitude. It's about raging against their faults," writes Kelly.
"It's gotten past the point where whining about how bad things are feels cathartic. It just feels like whining."
Clearly Leaf fans aren't happy with losing. They're not satisfied with a group of "bush-league heroes." They want their team to win hockey games. However, since they're so vocal and so passionate when the team is losing, could they be scaring off high-profile free agents?
More from Marche:
Toronto fans like extravagantly ordinary players. How else to explain paying $3 million for Darcy Tucker? Or $5.5 million for Bryan McCabe? Sometimes I wonder if Toronto would even know what to do with the Sedin twins, who are less like quick-fisted farm boys and more like magical changelings conceived by elves in the Scandinavian forest.
I recently overheard a conversation in a bar about whether Sidney Crosby would ever return to hockey, and one guy said, "I told you he was made of glass." That's typical; Toronto wouldn't take Sidney Crosby even if he were on offer. Not tough enough.
It's easy to cheer for "character guys." No one boos a player who works hard every night, fights every battle and stands up for his teammates. But people do boo elite talent when that talent isn't scoring goals and the team isn't winning.
Is it better to stop attending games when a team is losing than to go to the game and jeer your own team? Stephen Marche thinks so.
Marche was right when he said that the Leafs have very few marquee players in their line-up, but it's not because management hasn't tried to "purchase" them. It's not even, despite how it looks, because Leaf fans don't want those types of players. Leaf fans desperately want players like the Sedins and Crosby, but when the team struggles those are the players who will feel the vocal wrath of Leaf Nation.
And now, for whatever reason, the league's elite do not want to play in Toronto. Is it because those players would rather join a "sure thing" and compete for the Cup or is it because they don't want to face an angry Leafs fan base?

I'm growing four kinds of bush beans in pots. The pic below shows some of them in shade, but that only happens at the end of the day. I could move them if you think that's a problem.
Two varieties of beans are showing yellow leaves at the bottom. These are the pots with the largest plants, the ones with tendrils and blossoms. It has been blazingly hot here this week, and I've been trying to assess their water needs. I'm thinking maybe in my efforts to not over-water, it's possible I haven't given them enough. Would under-watering explain the yellow leaves? Thanks! Susan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Under-watering to the degree it affects the nutrient stream would be accompanied by wilting. If you're not getting wilting, it's almost a sure bet your plants aren't drought stressed. It's more likely a nutritional deficiency (N, probably) - we can chase that down if you want to, or possibly a symptom of over-watering/compaction/heavy soil. Al |
Hi Al! I'm thinking I should have used your planting mix--and I will, if I can ever figure out where to get the ingredients. I've seen a slight bit of wilting, but I haven't let them get to the point where it's very evident. These beans are planted in Miracle-Gro Potting Mix. Does that change the diagnosis? |
It doesn't change anything other than add to the possibility that over-watering might be the issue. Lack of O2 in the root zone can have a considerable impact on root function, and therefore nutrient uptake. If you're pretty confident you're not over-watering, I'd guess it to be a need for fertilizer. If you like, sharing what you're doing about nutrition might help narrow things down to where you can be pretty sure. Al |
Actually, I've done nothing about nutrition. From my reading, I got the impression that beans require little to nothing in the way of fertilizer. In fact, I was concerned that the potting mix I used might give them too much nitrogen. Here are the mix's fertilizer numbers: 0.21 - 0.14 - 0.07. The package claims the mix fertilizes for six months. I'm open to suggestions! Thanks, |
Beans in the ground are generally not given too much N because N tends to make them push foliage instead of making beans. In containers, you still need to fertilize. I bet that a half dose of 20-20-20 or 24-8-16 will green them up & get them moving. Al |
Great! I have the 24-8-16, and will mix up some half-strength. Many thanks. |
Make sure you let us know what happened!! ;o) Al |
It's all good, Al! No more new yellow leaves, and lots and lots of tiny beans. How often do you suggest I repeat the above feeding? Also, I was checking out the fertilizers I have on hand, and found a bottle of liquid Starter Plus, by Schultz. It's a transplanting solution, containing Vitamin B1. It's also a 5-10-5 fertilizer, plus 0.1% iron. Would this safer to use than the higher-nitrogen Miracle-Gro I used above? Either of them could be mixed at half strength. Thanks! |
Used at low rates, the 5-10-5 probably won't hurt anything, but it supplies about 12x more P than your plant needs in relation to it's N needs. Since N is the must used element, other nutrients are usually measured as a function of N. While going about the chore of growing, plants use about 6X more N than P, so I can't think of any container culture application where it would be better to use a fertilizer that supplies more P than N. That said, it's not going to kill your plants or cause great harm; it's just that there are better options. If you were referring to the 24-8-16 as a high N fertilizer ..... it really isn't. Remember, the % numbers mean nothing individually. If there was a fertilizer that was 48-16-32, it's not considered a high N fertilizer any more than 9-3-6. Yes, it has more N by weight than the 9-3-6, but both are 3:1:2 ratio fertilizers and contain the same amount of N. How this works: The instructions for mixing will direct you to use only about 1/5 the amount of the more concentrated 48-16-32 as the 9-3-6; so in the end, you're supplying the same strength solution, even though 1 fertilizer id many times 'stronger' than the other. The 3:1:2 ratio fertilizers work so well; because there is little excess in the soil. Let's think about what happens when you use your 5-10-5, with 12x more P than necessary. Let's say your plants are looking a little yellow & need fertilizer. You fertilize & all starts to look well, but soon, your plants are running out of N and yellowing again. Since there is still lots of P left in the soil, you fertilize. This supplies a little N (in relation to P) but it alsu supplies another BIG dose of excess P. Now you have LOTS more P in the soil than necessary. P raises pH AND competes with Fe (iron) and other micro-nutrients, the symptoms of which includes the yellowing that comes with deficiencies. As you add more fertilizer in the hope that the yellowing will be reversed, it gets worse instead. When you use a 3:1:2 ratio, the plant uses the nutrients evenly, so they are all becoming deficient at the same time. When you fertilize, you're not increasing a notable excess on ANY element, which is not the case as when using high-P formulations. If you have a plant that needs to have its vegetative growth slowed, simply switch to a 1:1:1 fertilizer or alternate its use the same 3:1:2 ratio you're using. You can also use 3:1:2 ratio fertilizers at low doses (to restrict N) and supplement the K (many use Pro-TeKt 0-0-3 for this). A summary: I use 3:1:2 ratio soluble fertilizers on EVERYTHING, unless I am intentionally trying to stress the plant by limiting an element (usually N), and I never intentionally apply a fertilizer that will supply an excess of one or more elements in relation to the other essential elements. Excesses are as bad as or sometimes worse than deficiencies. (Dr C Whitcomb et al) Al |

Glad to see they are doing better. :) JoJo |
Forgot to say you can watch the older foliage & when it starts to look "not quite as dark green as they were a few days ago" you can apply fertilizer - prolly about every 2 weeks - depending on your dosage. If you think the plants are pushing too much foliage and not making enough beans, switch to 20-20-20 or another soluble 1:1:1 fertilizer. Al |
Thanks, JoJo. Boy, Al, I hope you make your living in education, because you're a natural-born teacher. Thanks for all the info in this thread and elsewhere on the forum. A lot of us would be struggling without you! |

Before 1950
The photographs in this section are from the mid-late 19th century and early 20th century. The individuals presented here, or referenced to here, were either known homosexuals of the time (otherwise known during the period as "deviant" or "preverted") or depict an understanding of how gay and lesbian life might have been lived during an earlier time.
The images in this section provide a glimpse into gay and lesbian life in Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Flint during the 1950s. The event timeline highlights a number of ways that the gay and lesbian community started to gain some mainstream visibility.
The 1960s were a time of political change in the LGBT community and ultimately lead to the Stonewall Riots of 1969 in NYC. As shown in this part of the exhibit, there was a burgeoning LGBT publication market, as well as an increase in public awareness of gay and lesbian groups. Other facts about Michigan's gay and lesbian life of the time are included in this section.
Gay and lesbian activism really started to take off around the state during the 1970s. Gay pride events started gaining traction around the state as did many forms of activism. These activities, along with the removal of homosexuality as a mental disorder from the DSM in 1973, worked as a way to gain visibility for the community and to fight publically againist many forms of social and legal discrimination.
The 1980s were a time of great struggle for the LGBT community. With the discovery of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s, an increase in the number of discriminatory laws against gay and lesbian groups, and with a noticable politcal backlash against the community, this decade marks a time of significant challenges for the LGBT movement.
This number of gay pride parades and events around the nation really began to take off in the 1990s. With LGBT visibility at record breaking numbers, the country begins to witness more public acts of violence and discrimination against gays and lesbians. The 1990s also demarcates political and ideological differences within the LGBT community itself.
About This Exhibit
Thank you to the original curators and developers of the Michigan's LGBT Heritage exhibit. These people include:
Tim Retzloff, Julie Herrada, Matthew Bietz, and Anthony Hand.
According to the original Michigan's LGBT Heritage website (1999):
"The exhibit, "Artifacts & Disclosures: Michigan's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Heritage" represents the convergence of two dynamics: a desire of the Lavender Information and LIbrary Association to stage an exhibit to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, and the wish of the curators to assemble and share some wondrous artifacts which disclose an aspect of the state's history that has just begun to be revealed.
Drawing fragmentary evidence from repositories both local and national, we attempted to create a sort of giant scrapbook of Michigan LGBT life modeled after the pioneering 1994 New York Public LIbrary exhibit, "Becoming Visible: The Legacy of Stonewall." We hope we succeeded in documenting the diversity, complexity, and longevity of our various communities."
