It was a love of linen and an attention to detail that first fired Bernie de Le Cuona's desire to create beautiful fabrics.
She crafted her very first design into a cushion which buyers ordered immediately. Now after some twenty years in the business Bernie has a reputation that is second to none for developing exquisite fabric collections harnessing the colour and beauty produced by the best International master weavers. Her immense skill and natural flair for fabrics also demands a refined finish, look and drape which make them truly unique.
Artisan techniques underpin each new fabric introduced into the collection – Bernie has led the way with stone-washed linens, embossed linens and the use of tonal wool yarns to add a special dimension to unique embroideries on superb quality linen base cloths and, of course, her signature wool and cotton paisleys which are recognised worldwide. Her cushion collection enjoys the same reputation.
The company's growth has moved the hub of the business from an understated carriage house to Mistress Page's House in Windsor.
Built in the 17th Century and allegedly the home of a mistress to King Charles' II upon whom Shakespeare based the character of Mistress Page in The Merry Wives of Windsor.
The modern warehousing carrying the complete collection of fabrics and accessories is just a stone's throw away.
Whilst the Walton Street showroom in London draws many International clients to the collection, flagship showrooms in Moscow and the D&D Building in New York demonstrate the de Le Cuona look to a wider audience. There are now ten third party showrooms across the USA and Canada.
To service the every growing demand for' de Le Cuona style' Bernie has added an eclectic mix of rich textured materials that accomplish a look of soft glamour and understated elegance; these are known as the 'Eclectic Collection'. When schemed with the subtly textured simplicity of the linens or the grandeur of the paisleys, the Eclectics round-off the collection which offers discerning customers all the elements for a beautiful and comfortable home.
The Team
Founder and CEO: Bernie de Le Cuona
Bernie de Le Cuona founded what is now the world's largest own-brand linen collection in 1992. Today she is the sole designer and creative force of the business and acclaimed for her commitment to producing some of the best and most beautiful textiles. Her name is synonymous with superior linen and layers of luxurious fabrics, including hand woven wool paisley and the more glamorous ecelctic cloths such as silk velvet and couture cashmere.
Managing Director: Emily Williams
Emily works closely with Bernie and is responsible for the strategic growth of the business as well as ensuring the smooth day to day running of the company. She brings many years of experience working closely with influential and high net worth clients globally. She joins de Le Cuona after almost ten years with Warren Buffet's NetJets, and has a deep understanding of the levels of service and product quality the discerning de Le Cuona design and private client demand.
Board Director: Grant Pearson
Grant has been involved with de Le Cuona from the early days and joined the business formally 7 years ago as a shareholder and board director. He brings his entrepreneurial spirit, having successfully sold two businesses, and a wealth of information technology experience to the business.

3M completed the expansion of its manufacturing facility in Columbia, MO, for Ultra Barrier Solar Film. The expansion will help it meet growing demand for high efficiency flexible photovoltaic (PV) modules. New production equipment and product innovation will help the company drive down costs, according to Derek DeScioli, Global Business Development Manager for the 3M Renewable Energy Division. That will help customers provide competitive PV to the commercial rooftop market The Ultra Barrier Solar Film acts as a replacement for glass and is engineered for high light transmission, a high level of moisture barrier performance, and excellent weatherability. The company said that, compared with rigid glass modules, large area, light weight flexible PV modules made using the solar film can achieve significantly lower balance of systems (BOS) costs by requiring less installation time, removing the need for metal racking, and reducing logistics expenditures. The film may also enable lower module manufacturing costs by allowing manufacturers to commercialize large area modules assembled in a continuous roll-to-roll process.

When the fuzzy reports about Adrian Peterson's arrest first started to emerge Saturday, as the day unfolded I tried to make an educated guess about who was the primary douche in a scenario that has plenty of idiocy, either from Peterson for being a drunken fool, or from the police for being heroes during a time when there was no villain to be apprehended. The only crime in the club was likely a desire for water.
As is the natural order of things during a case of this nature where details are shady and non-existent at first, it's becoming quite clear that pointing a finger in any one direction is a futile effort. Someone did something unacceptable to someone, but right now it's the word of Peterson against the recollection of the events by the police and the club owner, and it's impossible for us to arrive at a definitive conclusion until more information surfaces.
The spiral into the he said/she said bickering is inevitable, and so was the copout in the previous sentence about more information. But there's been a unique, odd turn this afternoon. Earlier today Peterson hired a lawyer, even though he's surely aware that the Houston PD is considering his offense to be a very minor one, and it's been reported that at most he'd get a fine.
The lawyer Peterson hired isn't just some slack-jawed yokel bent on doing his best Lionel Hutz impersonation by using the tie defense.
He hired Rusty Hardin. You know, the guy who just defended Roger Clemens.
You're wondering the same thing we're all wondering. If this is shut a simple, petty fine, why would Peterson hire a high-priced big wheel lawyer? There's a simple answer to that simple question.
This case isn't so easy after all, and Peterson is very, very pissed. He's fully aware that even the perception that he had a moment of drunken stupidity which ended in handcuffs could seriously damage his reputation, possibly to the point that he losses some endorsement opportunities. He knows and is confident in the truth, and he needs to salvage his public image. Now.
The club owner maintains that Peterson was belligerent prior to being removed from his establishment, while the police say that the Vikings running back shoved an off-duty officer, which started the ensuing mini melee. That ended in Peterson's arrest, and one of the happiest mugshots of all time.
Peterson's few comments have been contained in two tweets so far, which included a quality Winston Churchill quote, and his continued insistence that the truth will emerge. But his lawyer has been more than happy to talk on his behalf, because that's what lawyers do.
Hardin issued a statement this afternoon, and vehemently denied the accusations against his client.
"Adrian Peterson did not resist arrest this past Saturday morning and any suggestion that he pushed, struck or shoved a Houston Police Officer is a total fabrication. He, in fact, was struck at least twice in the face for absolutely no legitimate reason, and when all the evidence is impartially reviewed, it will clearly show Adrian was the victim, not the aggressor."
He continued, saying the Bayou Club where the incident occurred should apologize.
"We have been investigating what happened since Saturday afternoon, and it is absolutely clear to me that the charges should not have been filed, and the Bayou Club owes Adrian an apology for having put out a totally false version of what happened. Adrian Peterson does not act the way he has been described in the initial reports, and he did not act that way Saturday morning. He was only in that club for 30 to 40 minutes, was never objectionable to other patrons, and never physically resisted any police officer. Adrian is extremely upset about these false allegations. These charges are totally at odds with the way he has conducted himself throughout his career, and he asks that his fans and the public at large reserve judgment until they hear all the facts. Adrian looks forward to his day in court."
Anyone willing to shrug those words off as the kind of harsh, damning blather typical of a lawyer needs to consider this point made by Peterson's father. Sure, he's sort of a little biased too, but he's also right.
"The officer said he pushed him, shoved him, then why is he not charged with assault?" Only charged with resisting arrest. Doesn't make sense."
Through the murkiness and conflicting reports, that's a puzzling question which remains unanswered, and it's rooted in the same police department that essentially tasered former Texans guard Fred Weary for looking at two police officers in a cruiser. The look he gave them wasn't the right one.

DSP News Release: Detectives Probe Robbery with Shots Fired Location: Fairways Inn, 4167 S. DuPont Parkway, Smyrna, DE Date of Occurrence: Saturday, July 23, 2011 at 2:00 a.m. Suspects: Five black males with white hoods covering their heads. No further description is available. All were armed with handguns. Victim: -52 year old Dover, DE man -22 year old Dover, DE female -31 year old Smyrna, DE male Resume: Smyrna- Delaware State Police detectives are currently investigating the robbery of the Fairways Inn in which numerous shots were fired that occurred early this morning. The incident happened at approximately 2:00 a.m. this morning as a 52 year old male victim was exciting the Fairways Inn located in the 4100 block of S. DuPont Parkway in Smyrna, after closing up for the night. As the victim, who was carrying the night's proceeds from the business, was walking to his car parked in the lot, he was confronted by a male suspect who began firing a gun at him. The victim dropped the money that he was carrying and ran for cover behind several parked cars in the lot. The victim, who was also armed, produced his own handgun and began shooting back at the male suspect. It was then that four other male suspects, all with hoods covering their heads, also began shooting at the victim. As this was occurring the first suspect picked up the money that the victim had dropped. All five suspects then fled on foot and were last seen running northbound on Rt. 13. It was learned that a projectile fired by one of the suspects had struck a vehicle in the parking lot that was occupied by a 22 year old Dover female and a 31 year old Smyrna male. They were not injured, however. The 52 year old male victim was also not injured. The investigation into this incident is on-going at this time.

Childhood Leukemia: A Guide for Families, Friends & CaregiversThis most complete parent guide available covers not only detailed and precise medical information about leukemia and the various treatment options, but also day-to-day practical advice on how to cope with procedures, hospitalization, family and friends, school, social and financial issues, communication, feelings, and, if therapy is not successful, the difficult issues of death and bereavement. Woven among the medical details and the practical advice are the voices of parents and children who have lived with leukemia and its treatments. As many parents have already found, advice from "veteran" parents can be a lifeline. Obtaining a basic understanding of topics such as medical terminology, how drugs work, common side effects of chemotherapy, and how to work more effectively with medical personnel can only improve the quality of life for the whole family suffering along with their leukemic child. Having parents describe their own emotional ups and downs, how they coped, and how they molded their family life around hospitalizations can be a tremendous comfort. Just knowing that there are other kids on chemotherapy who refuse to eat anything but tacos or who have frequent rages can make one feel less alone. Parents who read this book will encounter medical facts simply explained, advice to ease their daily life, and tools to be a strong advocate for their child. This second edition contains significant updates to the information on treatments, chemotherapy drugs, bone marrow transplants, coping with side effects, and resources. It also contains a personal treatment summary and long-term follow-up guide for your child to keep as a permanent record. |

Stan Lee, the most famous of all comic creators, has announced an upcoming iOS game called Stan Lee's Verticus. In the game, a team of intergalactic criminals have planted a doomsday device in the core of the earth, and only one hero can stop it. The game hits the App Store this fall, but you can watch the trailer below.
An endless falling game, Verticus has you plummet through the Earth's atmosphere, down into the ground and deep into the earth to dismantle the bomb. Along the way you have to dodge and destroy obstacles, powering up your character as you play through the game again and again.
Interestingly, Stan Lee himself plays your mission commander, so you'll see his likeness and hear his voice in the game. You can also hear his distinctive voice narrating the trailer below. Give it a look.

My daughter is having open heart surgery on January 10, 2014. She has an atrial septal defect and a mitral valve cleft that are both being operated on.
Any advice? I'm obviously terrified. She's 4. She will tell you she's having surgery and theyre going to fix her heart and understands that she will be at the hospital for a few days with mommy and daddy. She's cool, calm and collected. I however, can not get a positive thought in my mind..does anyone know how long this surgery lasts? or have any experience on this? i just want her to be ok
Also any advice on what I should bring to the hospital for her? and us? we'll be staying with her as much as we can but looking at facebook on my phone only provides so much mind numbing distraction.

This section discusses a variety of additional treatments including antiangiogenesis agents, bisphosphonates, spot radiation, radiopharmaceuticals and investigational agents that were not discussed in previous sections.
Angiogenesis is the growth of new blood vessels. This is a normal biologic process that occurs in both healthy and disease states. Angiogenesis is necessary for cancerous tumors to keep growing and spreading. Thalidomide, bevacizumab (Avastin®), lenalidomide (Revlimid®) are examples of drugs that inhibit angiogenesis.
Bisphosphonates come in oral and intravenous forms. They can be used to treat osteoporosis and/or metastatic cancer in the bones. The intravenous agents, Zometa® and Aredia®, are primarily for cancer, though they are also potent anti-osteoporosis agents. In addition to bisphosphonates, Denosumab® targets a protein known as the RANK ligand. This protein regulates the activity of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). Denosumab has been shown to be more effective than Zometa at delaying bone complications.
Individual tumors can be targeted with either external radiation or with bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals. Radiopharmaceuticals represent a theoretically attractive approach because they target relatively stable bone stromal elements, yet they have the potential capacity to inhibit the growth of both metastatic CRPC cells and the cancerous stem cells that give rise to continued cancer growth, despite the administration of conventional hormonal chemotherapy. Further, it may be possible to alter stromal elements via radiation in a manner that inhibits growth-promoting tumor-stromal interactions; older clinical studies indicate that radiated bone may be a less hospitable environment for development of metastatic disease.
Finally, participation in clinical trials can allow you to gain access to new research treatments before they are widely available.

The Teutonic Knights were a German-based Roman Catholic Crusader order formed in the late 12th century in Acre. During the Middle Ages they were a crusading military order and wore white surcoats with a black cross. The knights sometimes used a cross pattée as their coat of arms; which later became the German Iron Cross. The medieval Teutonic Knights played an important role controlling the port tolls of Acre. After the Crusades the Knights moved to Transylvania in 1211 to defend Hungary against the Cumans. As with the Knights Templar the Teutonic Knights faced persecution through the years and continued to decline slowly through the middle ages but existed until 1809, when Napoleon Bonaparte ordered its dissolution. The Order even survived Napoleon and continued to exist, headed by Habsburgs through World War I, to the present day. Our Teutonic Arm Bracers are available in quality White Leather with Black Cross. 9" long, Fits "forearms" up 16" in circumference. 8-10 oz white leather bracer with Leather lace closure.

Quoted from Victoria Are any of those vegetables cooked, or do you mostly eat raw salads?
Quoted from Victoria Thanks. Just checking because some people who eat their vegetables only raw sometimes develop difficulty assimilating the nutrients.
Quoted from Lloyd Not meaning to hijack but this is interesting. Anything online that might be a good read?
Quoted from Victoria Sorry, Lloyd. My statement is referring to observing a number of my friends (probably around a couple dozen over a 20 year period) who ate only raw vegetables and no cooked ones.
Quoted Text The wide variety of nutrients that they should have been getting from the abundance of vegetables eaten didn't seem to me to be translating into a balanced health system in their bodies.
Quoted from DoS Well so what is the plan C_Sharp?You know yourself better than we do. (Oh and some people Steam their vegetables for the reasons above)
Quoted from JJR Might I suggest eating your salad at lunch, so you don't have to use the micro, and then make dinner at home so you can cook it?
Quoted from ruthiegirl Secondly, I'd count a biofeedback machine that tested your body "as it is right now" over a computer program that calculates "how much fat you should need" but isn't programmed to allow for such factors as malabsorption. If you're only absorbing half the fat you consume, you'll need to consume twice as much to absorb what your body needs. SWAMI is a wonderful program, but it's not nearly as complex as the human body and the results often need tweaking.
Quoted from DoS What type of work demands that schedule? That would destroy me I think. Do you work every day and will it ever back off, like is it seasonal or something?

Crushes and Kisses
Ahh...don't you just love the feeling of a new crush? How you get super excited whenever someone mentions his name. They way your smile is a mile wide whenever you see his name pop up on the screen of your cell. And, my favorite, that warm felling of butterflies whenever you meet after not seeing each other for a while. It's so great!
It's even better when you're spending time with that person and start to see that the two of you have a lot in common. That's when you start to feel like you're making a real connection, and you just can't wait 'til that special moment?the first kiss!
I remember every first kiss I've ever had with a BF. I remember where we were and what happened afterwards. A smile. A giggle. A long happy sigh. I was fifteen when I had my first ever kiss with my first BF, and I was so nervous cause I wasn't sure I'd know what to do!
I don't have a BF right now, but I do have a new crush and I definitely see myself reaching that anxious, butterfly-filled, wanting-to-be-kissed phase.
So, what do you do when you start crushing on a new guy? Do you crush from afar, or go for it and start moving towards making him your new BF? And what about that first kiss?do you wait for him to make the first move, or let him follow your lead? How can you tell when the moment is right? Let me know!!!
Here's to new crushes and great first kisses!
Meridith ;-)

[899] Mixed Epithelial and Stromal Tumor of Kidney. Molecular and IHC Findings of a Possible New Hereditary Syndrome
Lai Jin-Ping, Beatriz A Walter Rodriguez, Phyu P Aung, Marston Linehan, Maria J Merino. NCI,NIH, Bethesda; NCI, NIH, Bethesda
Background: Mixed epithelial and stromal tumor (MEST) of the kidney is a rare renal tumor occurring predominantly in perimenopausal women. Recently it has been postulated that MEST and Cystic nephroma represent variants of the same process because their morphological and molecular characteristics. We report five new cases of kidney MEST and describe the occurrence of these tumors in a familial setting.
Design: Five cases of MEST including 2 familial tumors and 3 sporadic were studied. Tumors were immunohistochemically evaluated for ER, PR, SMA, Desmin, CA-125, Her2, calretinin, bcl-2, CD99, pax-8 and Ny-eso-1 antibodies. Protein expression of the DICER1 gene encoding an endoribonuclease was also performed. The presence of t(x;18) (p11.2;q11) translocation for human synovial sarcoma was investigated by RT-PCR. For loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis of the 3p12-3p21 region, tumor and normal kidney areas were microdissected and the DNA extracted. Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was also done to evaluate presence of genetic gain or losses in the MEST.
Results: The familial tumors occur in a 75-year old man with bilateral renal masses with similar morphologic features, and in his two daughters. One daughter is 47 years old and had a 3 cm renal mass, morphologically similar to the father's. The sister has a cystic renal mass and will undergo surgery. The three sporadic cases were all female aged 36, 40 and 52 years. Morphologically, the tumors were well circumscribed and varied in size, cystic component, and amount and cellularity of stroma. By IHC, ER, PR, SMA and Desmin were positive in the stromal cells for all five cases. Pax-8 was positive in the epithelial component. Calretinin showed focally positivity in both epithelial and stromal cells. CA-125 and Her2 were negative. One sporadic case, showed dense cellular spindle cell proliferation. Immunostain was positive for Bcl-2 and CD99. However, there was no evidence of the t(x;18) (p11.2;q11) translocation by RT-PCR. LOH for VHL markers (3p-3p21 loci) (D3S1038, D3S1110, D3S1597, D3S1317, D3S1560) was performed in all the cases but there were negative. CGH analysis also yield negative results for large areas of gain or losses. All patients have remained free of disease.
Conclusions: We conclude that Mixed Epithelial and Stromal Tumor of the kidney are neoplasms with excellent prognosis that can occur in a familial and hereditary setting. The histological and molecular profile for the hereditary and sporadic cases are similar.

Kadner: Hard times are good for politicians
By Phil Kadner firstname.lastname@example.com March 23, 2013 12:47AM
Cook County Commissioner William Beavers speaks after being found guilty on all counts at the Everett M. Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago, Ill., on Thursday, March 21, 2013. | Andrew A. Nelles~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: April 25, 2013 7:07AM
Why do people give you money?
That's a question I've been asking political candidates for years, and the answer I get sounds a lot like the one you might receive from a little child who is asked why Santa Claus brings him gifts.
Instead of "because I'm good," the politicians' version is "because people want good government."
Cook County Commissioner William Beavers (D-Chicago), convicted last week of federal income tax fraud, used political contributions to gamble at casinos.
Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who pleaded guilty recently to similar charges, used his political contributions to buy stuffed elk heads, dine at expensive restaurants and buy a luxury watch and mink capes, among other things.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a wise man worth more than $1 billion, decided to cut out the middle man and spent $2 million this winter to buy himself a congresswoman, Robin Kelly.
Kelly, who's expected to easily win Jackson's former congressional seat in April, would insist that she is her own person.
Bloomberg contends that he merely supported her through his political action committee because she's anti-gun and so is he.
There's nothing illegal about Bloomberg investing $2 million in Kelly. In fact, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it's every wealthy person's constitutional right to enter the market for congressmen.
And it wasn't illegal for Beavers to spend $100,000 or more trying his luck at the slots at Horseshoe Casino in Hammond. He crossed the line when he failed to report as income the money transferred from campaign funds into his personal accounts.
In addition to spending money on fancy gifts for himself, Jackson used his campaign fund to pay his wife a salary.
There's nothing illegal about that, either. It's done all the time. Politicians put family members on the payroll, even if they're not facing opposition in their bids for re-election.
And all of this is done in the name of "good government.'
I take a different view of campaign contributions. I believe they're legal bribes.
"That's a contradiction," people sometimes tell me, contending that a bribe is inherently illegal.
But here's what Merriam-Webster has to say on the definition of "bribe":
"1: Money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust. 2: Something that serves to induce or influence."
Well, that sure sounds like a definition of a campaign contribution to me.
There are people, I admit, who will send $10, $25 or $50 to a political candidate who are true believers.
They're trying to help their "guy" or "gal" get elected because no one else could do the job or the alternative is so awful they can't stand the thought.
But I can't help feeling that campaign fundraising is inherently evil. It goes back to what my mother told me when I was a child: "You don't get something for nothing in this life."
Unless you're a political candidate ...
Kelly, who's expected to receive about 70 percent of the vote in the April 9 special election, is still raising money. An email sent by her campaign reads:
"Dear Friend,
"Today, the NRA released their best fundraising numbers in over a decade. Meanwhile, communities across America continue to be plagued by devastating gun violence.
"The stories on the nightly news get worse and worse, but the NRA raises more and more money. It's shocking and wrong.
"Powerful pro-gun forces are doubling down to prevent common sense gun reforms from ever passing. They know the wave of public opinion is with us — with making our communities safer, making our neighborhoods stronger — so they're pinning their hopes on big moneyed special interests.
"We can't let them win. And with you on my side, they won't.
"Can you contribute $25, $50, or $100 today and send a message to the NRA?
"... Anything you can afford will help us do the work we need to do to save lives. Grassroots support and small-dollar donors are the key to showing the special interests how strong our movement to end gun violence is.
"Please consider a donation today of $25, $50, or $100 to show pro-gun special interests that they can't buy their way to victory ..."
So it's shocking and wrong for the National Rifle Association to raise money but good for Kelly.
I received an email from Kelly's campaign recently, boasting that she had raised more than $200,000 for her special election campaign.
I tried to find out how many fundraisers she's attended and where, but her campaign staff failed to provide the information.
It really doesn't matter.
The public isn't bothered by this sort of thing anymore unless a public official buys a $40,000 Rolex watch or uses his campaign fund to subsidize his gambling.
Barack Obama raised so much money, more than any other presidential candidate in history, that he could turn down the federal cash he could have gotten to run for office. So did his Republican opponent.
And that campaign occurred during one of the worst economies in this country's history, when people were struggling to pay their mortgages and wealthy folks were screaming that taxes were killing them.
Billions of dollars going into campaign war chests that might be used for some other purpose.
And the funny thing about it is, all those folks who invest in government never complain when they find out their money went into a slot machine or was used to buy Michael Jackson's old fedora.
And for all those people out there who have invested in good government over the years, have you ever seen a return on your money?

Pacific Coast Ecosystem Information System (PCEIS): From Description to Prediction
Project Leads and Affiliations:
Henry Lee II, EPA/Office of Research and Development
Deborah A. Reusser. USGS-Western Geographic Science Center
Key Collaborators:
Joan Cabreza, EPA Region 10
Laurel Hillmann, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department
Project Abstract Written: October 2005
Project Timeframe: 2006 - 2008
Project Summary:
The primary thrust of this project will be to produce an enhanced version of the Pacific Coast Ecosystem Information System (PCEIS), a georeferenced database of the native and nonindigenous marine/estuarine species and coastal landscape characteristics for the Pacific Coast. PCEIS will be released as a stand-alone Access database. Version 1, to be completed in FY06, will synthesize the distributions of the estuarine benthic invertebrates and fishes in Oregon, Washington, and California. The current beta version contains over 6000 species. Version 2, to be completed in FY07, will expand the geographical scope to include estuarine species' distributions from southern Mexico to Alaska. Version 2 will also synthesize the distributions of marine/estuarine flora and fauna in wetlands and outer coastal habitats (e.g., rocky intertidal). Distributions of individual species can extracted at a range of spatial scales, from the entire Pacific Coast to specific sub-estuaries, as well as by habitat type (e.g., soft-sediment, hard substrate). Alternatively, the total list of native and nonindigenous species can be extracted for a specific area. PCEIS is also synthesizing landscape characteristics for all the Pacific Coast watersheds, including estuarine characteristics (e.g., estuarine area, percent intertidal) and watershed characteristics (e.g., population, landuse from NLCD, climatic data).
Outputs from PCEIS will be used to address a number of scientific and management issues. One scientific thrust will be to use the species' distributions and landscape characteristics to evaluate niche models to predict species distributions, especially nonindigenous species. The primary model to be evaluated will be the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Prediction (GARP), which builds "niche" rules by iterating through environmental data layers evaluating species presence. Another scientific thrust will be to use the species outputs from PCEIS as "master lists" to evaluate indices of taxonomic distinctness as multi-scalar metrics to evaluate the impacts of invasive species and/or pollutants on taxonomic structure. In terms of management utility, one of the primary benefits of PCEIS will be to provide ready access to the baseline geospatial distributions of marine/estuarine flora and fauna and to landscape attributes/data layers for coastal watersheds/estuaries. Such information is basic to conducting ecological risk assessments and in assessing which species are at risk. The geospatial baseline distributions of nonindigenous species are also key to assessing the efficacy of ballast water management (e.g., are new species invading) and in an "early detection – rapid response" strategy to invasion. Finally, development of metrics of estuarine condition and models to predict species distributions provide managers with quantitative tools to assess ecological condition, conduct risk assessments, manage invasive species, and manage rare/endangered species.

Hilary Gan is an MFA candidate in fiction at the University of Arizona, an Education Intern at The University of Arizona Poetry Center, and writer-in-residence at Hollinger Elementary.
I was lucky enough to be present for the Poetry Out Loud Southern Arizona Semi-finals competition--I even scored a seat by the outdoor propane heater for the last half. I am a fiction writer who knows very little about poetry and who tends to favor the out-of-vogue and terribly inappropriate narrative poetic stylings of Charles Bukowski. I like it when ugly language is repurposed into something beautiful, and I like finding beauty in grittiness.
My mother is an English teacher and says that the best poems for high schoolers are the old, tried-and-true sentimental poems: 'O Captain, My Captain!" and so forth. Sentimental rhymers were the poems most of the students chose to perform.
Robert Oliphant argues in his article "Speech, Hearing, and America's 100 Most Memorable Children's Poems" that the memorization of poetry helps children develop phonemic awareness, learn multiple connotations for words, and become "civilizationally literate." He goes on to explain that rhymes allow children to practice distinguishing between consonants, while literary devices use words in different contexts and allow students to expand their understanding of meaning, as well as expanding their vocabulary to include words that are uncommon in their neck of the woods.
So it appears that the students who are going on to the State Competition on Thursday, March 29 in Phoenix (Joshua Furtado, Cassandra Valadez, and Mark Anthony Niadas) were the students who gleaned these lessons well enough to express their poems with the full force of their own personality.
Two out of three of the winners were actors in their school drama clubs, and it showed. What made them stand out was their treatment of the poem like a conversation. They let sentences and meaning dictate their delivery, rather than the rhymes; they recognized and allowed the humor of their pieces into their performances, and it was clear that somehow they related deeply to their poems in unique ways, which brought hidden meanings to light. They had distinguished their phonemes to the point that they could choose to ignore or emphasize them. They had understood multiple connotations so well that they could express them with the tone of their voices. And they had understood the purpose of the poem so well that they could take, say, a 19th century poem written by a guy in Massachusetts and perform it in Tucson, Arizona with all of the emotion of the original and some besides. In short, they had learned their poems.
So if you would like to see what an arts education really does for our students, please think about attending the State Finals Competition, held here:

Google's 'Priority Inbox' to affect email marketing strategies
Direct marketers are already working out how to adapt to Gmail's new Priority Inbox system amid fears that the new feature could lessen the impact of email marketing.
The new service is being rolled out to users of Google's Gmail system this week. It creates a two-tier inbox: one for 'priority mail'; and another for the remainder of a person's emails. Google will also retain its spam filtering system.
The internet search giant has come up with the priority system to help users cope with the amount of emails they receive in a day.
Users can switch on the feature in a click, instead of setting filters and creating multiple folders as they had to with previous services. Gmail will then adapt the way it treats incoming emails based on the account owner's pattern of usage.
The introduction of the system will now put a premium on creating messages that can make it into the 'priority' inbox.
Guy Hanson, director of email services at dbg and a member of the DMA's Email Marketing Council, welcomed the system, saying it would "force email marketers away from the 'scattergun' approach to mass broadcast and encourage them to use best practice".
"Sending email based on data insight such as previous purchase behaviour or customer profile will increase their relevance and mean organisations are providing email communications that people want to interact with. The reward for this will be better inbox positioning with less competition," he said.
As one of the behaviours it will pick up on is the tendency for the account holder to reply to a message, marketing emails – especially those sent from "do not reply" email accounts – will be at a disadvantage. It will also deprioritise emails that are routinely deleted without being read.
Elliot Ross, senior creative designer at e-Dialog London, said: "The key to getting into the priority inbox is relevance. The user is now actively teaching filters what they want to read, so every mailing should be as useful and engaging as possible.
"This means segregating your lists, following design and HTML best practice and cutting out irrelevant 'blanket blasts' to everyone. It might even mean mailing people less sometimes."
He feels, however, that marketers should not see the advent of 'smarter' inboxes as necessarily being a bad thing.
"Bear in mind that whilst the user will check the priority email first, in this folder they will be scanning things quickly and looking for things to act upon. The users mind state once they come to read the regular inbox afterwards may be easier to engage with for some marketers," Ross said.

Features of the KX600S Pro
- Package and Contents
Being a budget motherboard you would expect a budget package. This is what you get but it does have everything you will need in order to get yourself up and running. First off you get your motherboard, along with this is a Driver CD with Norton Antivirus included to keep your PC clean from the nasties. Albatron has been known in the past to include a very in-depth user manual, and this time it gets even better. Not only does the user manual weigh in at over 200 pages, but it explains the full BIOS functions in all the major languages, so no matter if you speak English, Chinese or German, you will have no problems setting up this board from the User Manual.
You also get two IDE ribbon cables, two Serial ATA cables, Serial ATA power splitter, I/O shield as well as reference stickers you can place on your case either on the inside of the side panels or wherever you choose to give you easy reference for locating jumpers and switches if you should ever need to reset the BIOS.
- Motherboard Layout
The motherboard itself is pretty well laid out for what you might think is more of a hardcore user's board, without all the addition features. The motherboard itself only measures 200x292mm, easy able to squeeze into any ATX Midi tower case, and even some of the more tightly constraining cases. The only major gripe is the location of the 20 pin ATX connector being placed between the I/O plate and the Northbridge heatsink. This causes the bulky 20 pin power lines to clutter around the CPU heatsink, causing some air flow problems.
The placement of the FDD connector could also have used some thought; however, we don't see this motherboard going into extremely large cases, where the FDD drive is extremely high up, however, the placement of the cable in this position does cause further air flow restrictions.
Albatron gives you one AGP 3.0 slot and five PCI slots to add in whatever cards you see fit, with the limited onboard features, the more PCI slots the better.

For the $49.50 Australian (roughly $25 US) you pay for one of these lovely kits from PC Case Gear, I would have to say it would be a worthy investment for case modders who don't already have neon lighting for their case, or maybe even the type of user who wants to bring the night club to their home, as I did.
I realize not everyone will opt to put the light on top of their monitors, but it was only something I did to show how powerful and effective the light really is, but it does look cool all the same.
With all the features and quality of the kit considered, the latest PC Case Gear Cold Cathode Light kit is the most impressive neon light kit I have ever used, and the price tag is affordable as well. If you have not yet considered case modding, why not give it a go and there is no better place to start than our Case Modding Madness forum - I've only shown you the tip of the iceberg in this review and if companies like PC Case Gear keep releasing quality products like this, you'd be missing out if you don't join in on all the fun!
- Pros
High light output
Does not increase case temperature
Looks great
Good instructions
- Cons
None noted
Rating - 9.5/10 and TweakTown's Editors Choice Award

On a drive in downtown Anchorage, Alaska, this strange light appeared in the sky ahead of us. It lasted a couple of minutes then vanished.
–John Estes
Giving credit where credit is due as always I found this picture on the Coast to Coast AM main page. This picture is one of the more interesting ones I have seen in a while. Now, I'm not a fan of the "lights in the sky" reports or pictures for that matter, but this is no ordinary light in the sky…. or is it? I have no idea but it sure is a great picture and needs to be shared with as many people as possible. What do you think it is? Let us know on our minisode this Thursday night at 11pm eastern on blogtalkradio.com/mindcemetery.

Nicknamed "Cowtown" for its place as a widely known cowboy and cattle drive destination in the late 1800s, Wichita is the largest city in the great state of Kansas. Also known to be a place for aircraft development, the first airplane was built in Wichita in 1917. The city would experience a large population boom during World War II due to its location as a major manufacturing site for airplanes needed for the war efforts.
There's plenty to see and do in the Wichita metro area. The city has more than 30 museums, 30 art galleries and 32 golf courses, just to name a few attractions! All of the local amenities that this area has to offer makes it a great place to look for Wichita apartments for rent.
Living in downtown Wichita is inexpensive and offers lots of options for dining, entertainment and shopping. Wichita apartments for rent average at $629 per month, which is much lower than the national average.
If you really want to get to know Wichita and its history, check out the Kansas Aviation Museum to learn about the city's history in flight, or go to the Old Town Marketplace for shopping and dining. You'll be sure to find plenty to do here, all at inexpensive prices.
When you're looking for apartments in Wichita, consider choosing neighborhoods like Delano, an older neighborhood with unique galleries and shops, College Hill, which offers a beautiful view of the cityscape and Bel Aire, a great residential area with easy access to schools and shops.
One of Wichita's most desirable qualities is that it has a lower cost of living than the national average. Wichita apartments for rent take up about a third of the city, which is a larger number of rental options than those renting in the state of Kansas. In Wichita, almost all amenities are lower in cost than the national average, including most groceries, transportation and healthcare. Simply put, apartments in Wichita are a great deal! The city has everything you could want at much lower costs. The only thing you'll need when moving to Wichita is a car. The city ranks 38 out of 50 in walkability compared to other large cities. In other words, this city is largely car dependent.
Wichita is home to Wichita State University, Newman University and Heritage College, among others. Most students in Wichita don't take public transportation to get around, but with money saved on the low costs of Wichita apartments and other amenities, you can spend the extra cash to get to your classes!

The Toronto Raptors announced Friday they have re-signed guard-forward Alan Anderson and guard Ben Uzoh to second 10-day contracts. The Raptors signed Anderson to his original 10-day March 26 and Uzoh on March 27.
Anderson, 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, has appeared in six games with Toronto, starting one contest. He has averaged 5.8 points, 2.0 rebounds and 16.0 minutes. He totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3FG) and four rebounds in Wednesday's win at Philadelphia. It was his first starting assignment since April 17, 2006 as a member of the Charlotte Bobcats.
Anderson came to the Raptors from the NBA D-League's Canton Charge, where he averaged 21.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in eight appearances.
Uzoh has appeared in five games with the Raptors, averaging 3.2 points, 2.6 assists and 12.0 minutes.
Uzoh, 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, joined the Raptors from the NBA D-League's Rio Grande (Texas) Valley Vipers. He averaged 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 30.8 minutes in 20 appearances.

Money is our madness, our vast collective madness
games, zoso June 14th, 2012In the eternal border skirmish between Genius and Madness Peter Molyneux is a gun-runner and mercenary with no qualms about supplying and fighting for both sides, often at the same time. Having left Lionhead to found 22 Cans his first new project is Curiosity, a cube that can be chipped away with one of three chisels that cost nothing, 59p and £50,000. Not only an exploration of the psychology and morality of monetisation (perhaps touching on the rather interesting points Richard Bartle raised about fairness in micro-transaction based games) but also, as Oscar Wilde would have doubtless put it, mad as a box of frogs.
Talking about the game and wider issues, a GamesIndustry article suggests "… there are examples of individuals spending far more in free-to-play games – one World of Tanks player invested almost £500,000 in a single tank." Sounds a touch high to me; I've heard of similarly insane totals being bandied about in relation to Project Entropia, but never World of Tanks. Extensive and thorough research (30 seconds spent typing "world of tanks £500,000″ into a search engine) didn't turn up anything apart from the original article, and a deeply confused "Related Posts" plugin that decided people reading about footballer Rio Ferdinand might be interested in "World of Tanks Ferdinand weakspots". Actually, that's not a bad idea; make a note, Darling: play heavily armoured tank destroyer as centre back for England.
The most expensive tank you can buy in World of Tanks, on the EU/US servers at least, is the Löwe for (depending on exact amount of in-game gold bought for real money, special offers etc) somewhere around £40; even if you use gold to convert experience to qualify faster for a Tier X tank, convert gold to credits to buy the tank, spend gold on training the crew, buy gold cosmetic camouflage, fire gold ammunition and use gold consumables in every match while snorting gold dust as some kind of bizarre and entirely ineffective narcotic (don't try and get high on unreactive metals, kids) you're not going to dent half a million quid.
The economy of the game functions in a different way in other regions, so I guess there was some crazy one-off purchase somewhere else; the only other explanation I could think of (barring a major decimal point shifting error) is that a World of Tanks player, inspired by the game, went and bought an *actual* tank. I was having a bit of a poke around the MilWeb armoured vehicle classified ads, as you do, and at the time of writing Northeast Military Vehicles Services LLC have got a rather nice looking M18 Hellcat (Tier VI US tank destroyer in the game) for $469,000…

June 14th, 2012 at 11:39 amShiny – one of those would totally add to my front yard! ahem….some people are just mad :D
I am impressed by the way, you actually put the proper ö in Löwe!
Gank Says:
June 14th, 2012 at 4:59 pmYea, that's got to be a mistake. You can't actually 'invest' that much in a single tank. I'd say you could unlock every tank with gold for faaaar less than that. You can't buy tanks off other players, and as you said the most expensive one to buy is $50 and once bought, can't be upgraded (so no more money can be spent on it).
Pete Says:
June 15th, 2012 at 4:24 pmCould it be that they spent 500,000 WOT gold on the game, which would be about £1500? Still a lot, but not so completely bonkers.

Grundon's Self Binding Path Gravel is a naturally occurring material, quarried from a deposit of sponge gravel, a unique product with a very pleasing natural reddish/brown colouring which will improve and mellow as the pathway weathers.
For calculating volumes use 1.8 tonnes per cubic metre which relates to approx. 7 square metres per tonne when laid to a compacted depth of 75mm. And approximately 13 square metres per tonne when laid to a compacted depth of 40mm.
The foundation must be of sufficient stability to carry the proposed traffic. The area must have sufficient drainage which will ensure any storm water can drain away freely. Where a path is to be constructed which has sloping ground which would shed water onto the pathway, a French drain must be constructed on the slope side or sides alongside the pathway to take the excess water, so as not to flood the pathway. We would not recommend that Coxwell 5mm Path Dressing is used in these locations.
We recommend using Coxwell Pathway Sub-Base, which is a totally compatible base material for the Coxwell Self Binding Gravel. This is laid 100mm thick and then compacted using a suitable weight vibrating roller. When the Coxwell Pathway Sub-Base is fully compacted and is still moist, the Coxwell Self Binding Path Gravel can be laid. This should be done in two layers, each 40mm thick to achieve a finished compacted depth of 80mm. Lay both layers 60mm thick, rake and compact each layer. The ideal compaction is best achieved by the initial first two passes of the roller being carried out with the roller vibrator turned off, then continue compacting with the vibrator operating. The Coxwell Pathway Sub-Base and the Coxwell Self Binding Path Gravel must both be very moist but not too wet when rolling.
If a finer surface is required i.e. Golf Courses, Coxwell 5mm Path Dressing can be added. Follow the above laying guidelines, but when the Self Binding Path Gravel has been laid and raked to the cambers required, leave uncompacted, and whilst still moist add 15mm of Coxwell 5mm Path Dressing, rake evenly and compact using a vibrating roller, as described in the previous paragraph with the first two passes of the roller with the vibrator turned off.
If any repairs should be required at a later date, then scarify the surface of the path, moisten and add a new layer of the same material and compact.
1. | Laying Guidelines must be passed onto the Laying Contractors. |
2. | Laying Guidelines MUST be followed at all times. |
3. | Moisture content MUST be maintained at all times. |
4. | When newly laid there may be some initial staining but this will diminish with exposure to the elements. |
5. | The pathway will strengthen and harden with the design usage and weathering. |
6. | Be advised, horse and motorised traffic WILL NOT enable surface compaction to take place. |
7. | The laying of Coxwell Self Binding Path Gravel is not recommended during frosty and or snowy weather conditions. |

Heading into the BIOS we're dealing with the new CLICK BIOS 4. From first glance the overall layout is pretty similar to what we've seen in the past, but a bit like the new Gaming Series board we looked at recently, you can see the BIOS is color coded to match the board / series that it's on. There's also a few subtle additions that we'll look at in just a moment.
All the standard options are here and if you're in the BIOS, you'll probably no doubt be heading into the OC section of the BIOS, which of course gives us all the overclocking options that we're used to seeing.
Two new areas that stand out, though, include the new Hardware Monitor section that gives us a more detail look at what's going on in a number of areas. It's pretty nice and a good overall addition to the BIOS. The other area is the new board explorer section that tells us what is where. As you can see in the second picture our mouse cursor is over the CPU area and you can see across the bottom that it lets us know we're using an i7-4770K which is clocked at 3.5GHz.

Page Reviewed / Updated - May 2014
The OAP program provides financial assistance to elderly, low-income Colorado residents to help them attain a minimum monthly income. In addition, the OAP program provides some individuals, who do not qualify for Medicaid, with health care benefits.
To be eligible for the Old Age Pension, applicants must be 60 years or older, a U.S. citizen and Colorado resident. As an individual, he or she can have resources valued at up to $2,000, or as a married couple, up to $3,000. In 2014, applicant's monthly income cannot exceed $748.
There is an additional qualification for the health care benefits portion of the program (OAP Health Care Program) which is that participants must be between 60 and 65 years of age. This rule exists because at the age of 65 other health insurance programs become available such as Medicare.
Individuals can receive up to approximately $700 a month, but this amount may be reduced by other income such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income or Veteran's Assistance. Individuals receiving Old Age Pension grants that don't qualify for Medicaid also can receive medical benefits, although these benefits focus more on immediate medical needs instead of long term care.
One can learn more about the OAP or apply for benefits through their County Department of Social Services. Contact information can be found here. There are several files available for download which contain additional information about this program here.

Special Information Updates Pertaining To ALL STATES
The deadline for Commercial Driver Self-Certification is still January 30, 2014.
This is the deadline date for commercial drivers to have filed documents with their State Driver Licensing Agency (SDLA):
- Your self-certification affidavit declaring which commercial category you drive.
- Depending on the category you certify – A copy of your current medical card (and any applicable variance documents).
Drivers who have not completed this requirement by the deadline will be downgraded to non-commercial, Class D privileges only.
Drivers, you still need to carry a paper copy of your medical card, until 2015.
The reason for SDLAs collecting this information is so that it will be stored in the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) online database. Once this process is complete, drivers will no longer have to carry a paper copy of their medical card.
SDLAs are behind in setting up this database, and on January 10, 2014, FMCSA pushed the State Agencies reporting deadline to January 30, 2015.
Important Notes For Commercial Drivers:
This does not change your self-certification deadline. You must still get your documents in by January 30, 2014.
You still need to carry a paper copy of your medical card, until 2015.
