The first things I work on are organizational skills, learning how to approach homework proactively, and increasing self-esteem with schoolwork.

I will have my own car and can tutor at your home. My rate is $60/hr and I have several references made up of Chicago parents and students, available upon request.

My name is Nick and I'm a double major in English Literature and Economics at Cal. I graduated high school in 2011 with a weighted GPA of 4.51 and an unweighted GPA of 3.91. I excel in all sorts of subjects, especially mathematics, English, and American history. I'm also a highly qualified SAT tutor. I'm very up-to-date with the test, as I only took it two years ago. My score breakdown is as follows: 790 in Critical Reading, 780 in Math, 710 in Writing, 2280 Composite. I've been tutoring elementary, junior high, and high school kids for five years now, and even after all that time, I?m hard-pressed to call it a ?job.? Being a student myself, I know what makes kids tick. Whether it's through humor, sports, or what have you, I can find ways to connect to kids. And once I earn their trust, getting them interested in learning is nothing more than a cakewalk. If you're interested, I am too. Contact me!

I've been working as a teacher, academic tutor, and homework coach throughout the thriving Berkeley community for over 14 years. Currently, I'm accepting new students who are seeking to improve their writing and study skills, and learn how to organize and manage their own educations.

My name is Sarah Lewites, and I'm a senior in the IB program at Berkeley High School. I've posted here before in a different category, but I decided ''multiple subjects'' made the most sense.

I can work during the next few weeks as students prepare for finals, as well as through the summer. Thanks so much!

A recent transplant to the Bay Area, I graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a degree in Art and minors in Physics and Astrophysics with academic honors. I have been teaching in the classroom and as a tutor for the past 10 years, both in the US and abroad. I have a comprehensive understanding of learning theory, and know how to teach to an individual's particular learning style. My aim in tutoring is to give an individual the tools to complete a problem set while also imparting an understanding of the underlying principals the problem set relies upon. In this way the student is able to both conceptualize the theories behind an idea and concretely demonstrate his or her understanding. I am happy to help students in any of the disciplines of mathematics, physics, astrophysics, writing, etc. Feel free to contact me with any questions.

I was the president of my house in the Berkeley Student Cooperative, which means I have facilitated meetings, moderated conflicts, and have been trained in communication skills. I was an athlete/team captain in highschool, so I understand the importance of being a positive roll model. Compassion is a personal and professional philosophy of mine, so I have a lot of patience, and I want to push my students to learn. I have experience with teaching, but it has been mostly unpaid for friends and other students. I would like to charge $40/hour, but am more than happy to negotiate for families that cannot afford that. In fact if anyone really needs a free tutor, I would enjoy taking on one student given appropriate circumstances. Email me with questions, I am happy to answer.

Im intrested in more of a commercial set up ,and have read so many books and videos as of late, looks like several ways to go about it. This is my first try. 4 55 gallon drums cut in half. started with leaves and peat moss and a good supply of rabbit manure. The barrels have drains I catch the worm tea in and that's working out very well. i have been adding veg scraps and they make short time of that. started with 6000 red wigglers. I have been able to keep them going doing well for a month now. A few hrs ago I put some shredded un-composted veggies and buried them in a cple bins. BUT I did something interesting, I washed out the bucket with the pulp and poured it in one bin, they were all over it in about 30 minutes. I have recently acquired 2 large square bales of alfalfa hay, and am shredding it to start a compost pile, mixed with manure. i think it may make a good bed for next year when I out grow the barrels. i also have access to mushroom compost cheap by the truck load, Has anyone used it? . i am very intrested in experienced wormers giving me what ever advice you might offer. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You seem to be doing very well. Just a couple of comments. Manure mixed with alfalfa is going to be high in N. You will want to mix it with something high in C before you compost it. Conventional wisdom on mushroom compost says that by the time the mushrooms are done with it, there is little in it left for the worms. I would start with a smaller amount and see how the worms respond before committing to truckloads. |

it seems rotting hay is a good C ingredient, and I have access to some old very rotten wheat straw. pictured is my pile of rotting alfafa hay. small shredded pile to the left, is already heating up nicely (think I will outgrow this chipper/shredder soon) . larger pile is about 6 ft high. |
Please note: leachete is not tea. |

"First time on THIS forum. I am new to this and I have had my bin for about 1 month. I have seen the word "leachate" a number of times. What is it?" Mainly dirty water. Just excess water that runs thru the bin contents. It "leaches" some things from the bin....mainly color....and is worthy of tossing on plants because it probably has some minute qualities of the things it leaches thru. CarlosDanger |

Please note: worm tea is not leachate. Leachate is most often but not always a waste product. Worm tea is a living product of a mixture of micro organisms which are oxygen needing. Thus it can not be purchased in a container which has been sealed for more than a tiny amount of time. Worm tea is brewed in non chlorinated water with air over hours or days. Worm tea is made not from Leachate but from worm castings. Exempted from this is the one, two or three on this forum who harvests their beds with water harvesting methods. Something different than molding rotting exfood dripping leachate. Welcome. Nice first post. I hope you have the rabbits the rabbit manure came from. That will make the whole worm thing way easier. My issue is vermicompost is heavy. I think it is heavier than the system supports are designed for. On the other hand the building you are vermicomposting in seems way nice. Lucky worms. |
If I had a million dollars, I'd do a commercial setup like this: Form an LLC, buy a paper shredding truck, get contracts with local businesses to destroy their old paper documents (carbon bedding source that you get paid to collect with the added bonus of collecting old hard drives for high grade aluminum, small amounts of platinum and paladium and rare earth magnets), buy a garbage truck, get contracts to haul food waste from local grocery stores/restaurants etc (food source you get paid to collect) Then get several open top dumpsters to make your vermicompost and buy a Bobcat with all sorts of attachments to mix the stuff up and scoop it and dig holes and take off some sweet jumps. I haven't quite figured out the packaging and marketing thing, but if you have a friend with a white lab coat and frizzy hair, he can say he's a scientist and go around to stores and garden extravaganzas saying the stuff if black gold that will miraculously make your vegetables grow. Then I'd buy an airplane and put a hot tub in it. |

thanks for the answer to what is leachate. Now I know ! |

we are doing rabbits as well. but it wont be enough to support the whole thing. I found a local horse manure supply as well. the barrel set up is just the nursery till i get enough breed to do bins. |
I have rabbits too. Had two this winter and all of the sudden I have 21, well 20 since I ate one for supper. I've just been adding the rabbit manure right to the garden without feeding it to the worms. |
- Posted by TEXANConnection none (My Page) on Sat, Jul 19, 14 at 13:25
this is my hot steaming pile of future worm bedding. horse manure and the alfalfa hay . the little pile in the back is the same except I shredded that hay. had a inch of rain on it so its heating up nicely. |

Question for anyone familiar with how patient we need to be with a granite fabricator who cut our hand picked granite all wrong. Example, we have a short L shaped island, and it was seamed (not necessary) and not bookended with right piece to match the pattern. Also the bar top above the island was laid with the pattern going the opposit direction. This is holding up the finish of our kitchen, and I'm not sure that we owe them another try at the same project, since this appears to have been a no-brainer from the start. We had another fabricator/installer check the work and he confirmed our suspicions. At this point, I want to tell them to eat the expense, and I want to just get a new fab/installer so we can get finished. Anyone wondering, they never asked us if it was ok to do what they did...they just did it, and the installer never blinked, so I don't want to use him again either. Appreciate anyone's input whose been thru this, or is in the business and has experience with such things. |

WHAM13 - Search Results
Woman found dead in Livingston Co.
Hemlock, N.Y. - A Hemlock man is charged with tampering with physical evidence after a dead body was found in the woods behind his house.
The arrest of Gary C. Flemke, 61, stems from an investigation of a missing person and later the body of a female behind the residence at 5215 Bald Hill Road in the Town of Livonia, Hamlet of Hemlock.
Im confident well have more charges in the near future on the same suspect who was arrested today [Saturday]," said Sheriff Thomas Dougherty, Livingston County.
The investigation began just after 8pm Friday night.
The Livingston County E911 Center received a complaint from an out of state family member that he could not reach his mother. A deputy was dispatched to her residence to attempt to locate her.
After checking the residence and finding no one home, the deputy checked with neighbors and also tried her cell phone. Her whereabouts remained unknown.
After further investigation, the whereabouts of her husband, Flemke, were also unknown.
Deputies launched a missing persons report and eventually found Flemke in Dansville.
Friday night into Saturday morning, crews searched for evidence at the Bald Hill Road home.
The victim's body was found in a wooded area behind the home. Her death is considered suspicious.
Flemke was arraigned in the Town of Livonia Court before Justice Robert Lemen.
He was remanded to the Livingston County Jail on $250,000 cash bail.
Lori Scala of Hemlock said, Its shocking I mean its very shocking thing. I dont think theres ever been anything like that here. I mean everybodys friendly, everybody talks to everybody.
Back in the eighties you would never think any of this stuff would ever happen, just kind of kosher pickle, more or less," said Curt Stephens who grew up in Hemlock. "I dont know I guess I never thought something like this would happen.
The investigation into the death is ongoing.

I received this Marginata about 6 months ago and it was fine until a few weeks ago when the leaves started to droop extremely, the past few days I noticed some yellow spots/blotches on the leaves. I tried repotting it and that did not help at all. Could the soil be retaining to much water? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

My best guess would be that it needs more light than what its currently getting. What direction does that window face? I don't own a Marginata, but the Dracaenas that I do have, they all receive very bright, indirect sunlight all day long. I have several Ponytail Palms (yeah, I know they're a completely different type of plant. I'm just referencing it as an example...) and if/when they don't receive enough sunlight, their leaves will droop and look saggy, too. Well, their newer leaves will. Once again, that's a different type of plant with different growing conditions. But the reason is the same, if they don't get sufficient energy from their light sources, then they won't be perky and erect like they should be. |
It's currently in front of a window facing South and about 5 ft away from a window facing West. |

I like to use boolean expressions in searches.
For example:
(file name = "bracket") OR ( (file name = "lifting eye) AND (state = 'released") )
This would give me all brackets and all lifting eyes which are released
I agree we need 'OR' as an option. Currently just being able to 'AND' criteria is limiting.
This would also be helpful in Category Rules assignment. We have a semi-intelligent part numbering system where the first few digits define the category. Some have categories have overlapping prefixes (fixtures with different prefixes due to legacy assignment or running out of sequential numbers within a prefix group - hey, I only inherited the system) where a boolean assignment rule would allow me to assign multiple prefix groups to one category.
Like mentioned above I am missing the OR operator. And when havenig a AND and an OR operator there must be something like a group function as wel to bond them together.

Loading... Evelina (original 1778; edition 1967)by Fanny Burney, Lewis Gibbs
Work detailsEvelina by Frances Burney (1778)
Compact | Rate recommendations
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I rated this a solid "B" after I read it. Now, less than 2 years later, I cannot recall a single thing about it. Evelina does not wear well with time, unlike Austen heroines. In fact, Evelina herself is very wearing. She is prone to tongue-tied shyness (which comes across as vapidity); she is utterly dependent on others for her opinions (Elizabeth Bennett would kick her to the curb); she prefers to faint, blush, weep, and vacillate between humiliating embarrassment and embarrassing humiliation than assert herself or withstand an importunity (Emma would wash her hands of her). What possessed Ms Burney to ever try to make a heroine out of such unheroic material, I don't know. How she contrives to get (or if she ever does get) Evelina, the perpetual ingenue into competent adulthood I don't know either, because I'm 70% through the book and am feeling the feelings that Elizabeth and Emma would feel. I am not surprised that the world of literature did little note nor long remember Evelina's entrance into it when the likes of Elizabeth and Emma made their respective entrances. I'll admit that reading 18th century fiction is sometimes harder than I'd like it to be. The authors either don't know, or just don't abide by, the rules of fiction that we're all used to. But more and more often I'm struck instead by the sheer joy and verve that animates 18th century novels, and that often seems to have gone missing in the twentieth century--and, obviously, this very much the case with Evelina. There's not a whole lot of unity to the tale, and there are plenty of scenes that Burney includes for no reason other than that they're funny and or mortifying (e.g., random monkey attack towards the end of the novel. No, really.) But it turns out that the funniness, sentiment and mortification of these scenes is more than enough justification. Burney is funnier than Fielding, more touching than Richardson, and a better writer than everyone but Swift at his best--and this is her first novel. I'm looking forward to the others. If you're really into Austen, and can handle some rougher edges and a more satirical narrator, this is a great book for you: Evelina herself is the Great English Heroine a few years after Clarissa, and a few years before Lizzie Bennett. The most interesting part of this book, though, is the way Burney plays with the modes of eighteenth century fiction: she gives us satire, sentiment, farce, social commentary, bawdy wit, and sententious BS in almost equal doses. And most impressively of all, you can sense that Burney is in total control of all of them, recognizes that each mode lines up well with a way of life as much as with a literary fashion (sometimes this is made obvious in the novel, as Mrs Selwyn stands for satire and Villars stands for sententiousness), and is willing to give each a say--before, ultimately, coming down on the side of Selwyn's satire and Evelina's proto-LizBennettian irony (which itself develops throughout the book rather than being, as in Austen, constant from the start of P&P). She wields a kind of authorial control that very few twentieth century anglophone authors can (Anthony Powell, William Gaddis, J. G. Farrell and Muriel Spark come to mind as possible comparisons). PS: this edition is great, too--lovingly and helpfully annotated and introduced. During some points in the novel, I just wanted to rattle Evelina and ask how she could be so naïve, but then those were the times when women weren't so "knowledgeable" about the world...I got through it eventually. The letter format, while not exactly true to written letters, helps to provide the necessary pause a modern reader might need to take stock of the story. Jane Austin's works make a bit more sense if this is indeed some of what was available for her to read. The first two thirds of this or so are rape culture as horror story: every single man Evelina meets corners her with importunities. If she rejects him politely, he ignores her and carries on; if she tries to walk away he stops her, or goes with her, and carries on; if she resorts to other means she's scorned (by the world and even herself in hindsight) for her impropriety and it results in a new man accosting her with even greater rudeness. And then the first man returns another day unperturbed. I lose track of how many people end up seriously pursuing her this way: at least five (Lovel, Merton, wossname, Sir Clement, and Branghton Jr) not to mention all the nameless men in the garden maze etc. It escalates unrelentingly and -- okay, I was less frightened for her than absolutely outraged at the men and her so-called friends and society at large, then and now. Anyway, then the romance started being more important and so the focus turned to clarifying her parentage, and that was all fine and sweet; the resolution - or more precisely the problem - turned on introducing a hitherto-unknown petty villain, but okay. Evelina and her beau are pretty adorable together once she gets to know him as a person and not just as the one man in the world who isn't actively sexually harrassing her. no reviews | add a review Is contained inHas as a commentary on the text
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0192840312, Paperback)Frances Burney's first and most enduringly popular novel is a vivid, satirical, and seductive account of the pleasures and dangers of fashionable life in late eighteenth-century London. As she describes her heroine's entry into society, womanhood and, inevitably, love, Burney exposes the vulnerability of female innocence in an image-conscious and often cruel world where social snobbery and sexual aggression are played out in the public arenas of pleasure-gardens, theatre visits, and balls. But Evelina's innocence also makes her a shrewd commentator on the excesses and absurdities of manners and social ambitions--as well as attracting the attention of the eminently eligible Lord Orville.Evelina, comic and shrewd, is at once a guide to fashionable London, a satirical attack on the new consumerism, an investigation of women's position in the late eighteenth century, and a love story. The new introduction and full notes to this edition help make this richness all the more readily available to a modern reader. (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:43:04 -0400) This is the story of a young woman's education in the ways of the world in 18th century England. Commentary, notes and a reading group guide is included. (summary from another edition) |

Many broadband providers talk about speed, so we chose to focus on the activities that high-volume data users — Productive People — need high-speed connections for on a daily basis.
"The identity sidesteps the emphasis on speed that other broadband providers focus on and instead throws a spotlight on the daily needs of high-volume data users in the capital — characterised by the colourful 'London's Productive People' seen throughout the visual identity."
The design includes a broad range of component illustrations, enabling it to stretch across all media and marketing touchpoints and communicate the many ways in which Relish empowers Productive People.
The identity has been applied to packaging, campaign work and even pizza delivery-style bikes which will deliver the modem to buyers.
A website www.relish.net has been designed by TH_NK.
We created a short video (embedded below) to showcase the brand and to show how the characters interact and move when animated.
We also created a film for the Relish brand launch event.

7 appreciated remarks about "Relish"
The character work really makes this, there's something of Keith Haring about them, playful, flexible, communicative and well rendered.
Completely agree, Richard. It's got this child-like sense of expression which makes for a very friendly and welcoming identity.
I think that both the idea to not focus on speed and the way the identity was executed with that in mind is brilliant. Great work by Turquoise!
While there is some joy in the illustrations and colour palette, my overall impression of the identity is it is largely forgettable and will fade to the background.
Also the illustrations are little too similar in style to those used in the Governments Change4Life campaign….
Fun and friendly. I like the approach although the main logotype is a bit forgettable.
Thanks for the comments everyone! We really appreciate the feedback :¬)

Yes, I believe light spotting counts as a "period" -- slight thought it may be -- and you should start counting over now. I made it to 11 months last year and then had a period. Now I'm close to reaching that again, so we'll see what happens. |

Lena Schömann, producer of box office hit Fack Ju Göhte (Suck Me Shakespeer), is switching to Constantin Film after 12 years at the distributor-producer's subsidiary Rat Pack Filmproduktion.
Schömann's credits at Rat Pack included The Crocodiles family film franchise and 3D adventure Wickie and the Treasure of the Gods directed by Christian Ditter..
Together with Becker, she produced writer-director Bora Dagtekin's box-office hits Turkish For Beginners and Suck Me Shakespeer which has seen by over 7m cinema-goers in Germany alone and has taken over € 52 m since its release last November.
Schömann's first project at Constantin will be the sequel to Suck Me Shakespeer, which will begin shooting this summer and be released by Constantin Film on September 10, 2015.
Suck Me Shakespeer, which won a German Film Award last month as the country's most successful feature of 2013, is handled internationally by Berlin-based sales outfit Picture Tree International.

Movie News After Dark: Batman Live, Green Lantern's Abs, Animatronics and An Edgar Wright Explosion
Movie News By Neil Miller on April 13, 2011 | Comments (5)What is Movie News After Dark? For tonight at least, it will be your gentle companion. Due to it being a little on the late side, it will be brief and to the point. The point being all the audio/visual goodness that it can provide in one sitting. Fear not, generation of non-readers, there will be video! Tonight's lead is something you'll wish you could wipe away from your memory banks moments after you see it (so right about now), a first look at the stage production "Batman Live." Clearly drawn from the recesses of Joel Schumacher's mind, buried somewhere alongside his other horrid mistakes, is the look and feel of this London-set 'stravaganza. God save the Queen, and The Dark Knight.
Geek Gift Countdown: Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Box Set
Features By Neil Miller on December 4, 2010 | Be the First To CommentWe get it, you saw the movie and no one else did. We're very sad about it, as well. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World may have been one of the more entertaining and fun films to see a release in 2010, but that doesn't mean it was able to take that quality to the bank. You know what the world needed? More people who had read the Scott Pilgrim comic series by Bryan Lee O'Malley. And even though the film's release came and went, then came again on DVD and Blu-ray (another highly recommended gift — call that one a bonus), it doesn't mean you can't get someone started with the gift of Pilgrim. That's where today's treasure swoops in with the power of self respect.
Watch This: 'Scott Pilgrim' vs The Q&A Session
Interviews By Dustin Hucks on November 3, 2010 | Be the First To CommentTuesday night, fans of all things Scott Pilgrim were treated to not only a showing of the film at the Egyptian Theater in celebration of the release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World on Blu-Ray and DVD on the 9th of this month, but a fantastic Q&A session hosted by Guillermo del Toro featuring the director himself, Edgar Wright. Accompanying him were Michael Cera, and Scott Pilgrim creator Brian Lee O'Malley. Being that this was my first time in the presence of the greatness that is Guillermo del Toro, I didn't know what to expect — but it's very clear this is the guy I want doing pretty much every Q&A for every event from here on out — ever, including the presidential debates. Before the film began, del Toro took the time to mention the difference between effortless directing, and the talent to pull it off using porn star boners as an example. Clearly, Edgar Wright is the pornstar boner of directing in the eyes of Guillermo del Toro. Who knew? It only got better from there.
Edgar Wright on Scott Pilgrim's Perpetual State of Adolescence
Features By Jack Giroux on August 13, 2010 | Comments (10)Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is unlike anything you've seen before. Despite being a comic book adaptation, it's unlike anything we've seen. This summer hasn't been the greatest season for wide releases, but with the summer coming to a close, it'll end with something more unexpected and out there with Edgar Wright's name on it. Just like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, it's a film that has a heart big enough to win over non-nerds alike. It's not a full on fanboy movie, and that seemed important to Wright. He hits the right amount of gray areas, has its hero being selfish and reckless and, most importantly, has a yeti fighting a dragon – where else have we seen all of this in one film? Unless I'm mistaken, nowhere. Thankfully, Wright (a film school reject himself) had plenty to say about his latest and best film thus far:
Scott Pilgrim: 5 Reasons Why It's The Movie You Need This Weekend
Features By Neil Miller on August 12, 2010 | Comments (12)As I mentioned to my beloved followers on Twitter late last week, I exited my own screening of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World convinced that director Edgar Wright's style was perfectly matched with my own tastes. Wright's films — everything from his work on Spaced to Shaun of the Dead to my very favorite buddy cop comedy Hot Fuzz — have all the right pieces to play perfectly to my own moviegoing disposition. His films have undeniable energy. This is oft referred to by people who don't know any better as his ability to "play to the ADD generation," but is more in line with Hitchcock's knack for suspense. It's just always there. Wright's films are brisk and consistent because he doesn't allow much room for downtime. The jokes are meticulously strung together to create not beats, but a constant stream of style and tone. I adore this in his films. I also love the way he casts the things. So to say that Scott Pilgrim — based on a series of books filled with wry observations about culture as I've experienced it in my 26 years on the planet — is built for someone like me is an understatement. To me, it's the perfect marriage of filmmaking style (Wright) and razor-sharp writing without the loss of character depth (comic creator Bryan Lee O'Malley). This may be the case for many of you. But what does it offer to the rest — the millions of folks not familiar with the […]
'Scott Pilgrim' vs. the Lofty Expectations of Fanboys
Features By Neil Miller on June 21, 2010 | Comments (5)What do you expect from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World? Seriously. Do you expect that it will be as fresh and full of wit as the first time you read through Bryan Lee O'Malley's comic series? Will it be as ripped with energy and inventive humor as Edgar Wright's first few films? One can only hope that it will be both. One can only feel confident — at least based on what we've seen so far — that it will deliver on these promises. But what if our expectations carry beyond that point? Is there a point where one can expect too much from such a property? I have a feeling that we're about to find out.
New 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World' Trailer is On Like Donkey Kong
Movie News By Neil Miller on May 31, 2010 | Comments (3)After several days and a social media campaign to get 100,000 fans to follow the film on Facebook, Universal has released the latest trailer for Edgar Wright's upcoming film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Scott Pilgrim Trailer May Debut Online This Weekend
Movie News By Neil Miller on March 24, 2010 | Be the First To CommentOur friends in the UK may have yet another great reason to see Kick-Ass this weekend. That is, aside from all the buzz. It will also have a trailer for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World attached to it, marking one of the most highly anticipated trailer debuts of the year.

This is where she began her scientific career as a plant biologist, studying the effects of environmental stress on plants, specifically by examining the expression of heat shock proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana. Upon choosing graduate schools, Bianca's sincere interest in plant biology and her passion for encouraging environmental awareness and protection led her to the Darrin Fresh Water Institute.
And so, she entered the Biology Ph.D. Program at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in September of 2010, and subsequently joined DFWI in the spring of 2011. Here, she now conducts exciting research on wetland plant species and their ability to filter out harmful pollutants. Bianca thinks that scientists tend to focus on the negative effects of human impact, how our actions are detrimental to organisms and systems, but that they rarely consider how such impacts are taken advantage of. With this in mind, Bianca seeks to investigate how wetland plants utilize aspects of human impact and how they adapt within environments that are constantly encroached upon and inundated with pollutants. She hopes that with this knowledge, more efficientphytoremediation schemes can be developed in the future.
When not in the lab or in the wetlands around Lake George, Bianca is an avid ballet dancer and instructor. She has performed professionally with the Albany Berkshire Ballet, and has been on their faculty as a ballet, modern, jazz,andrepertory instructor since 2006.

The C30 is powered by a turbocharged, 218-hp five-cylinder and will be available with either a six-speed manual or a five-speed manu-matic. It will come in two trim levels, with the uplevel model featuring a body kit, eighteen-inch wheels, and an MP3 jack. Two suspension settings are available: comfort and dynamic. (The European version also will have a sport setting.) The car we drove, a Euro-spec model, was fitted with the stiffest setup. The sport setting is fine for mirror-smooth pavement and well-kept racetracks, but on frost-eaten blacktop you would want more compliance, a better low-speed ride, and less brittle responses over transverse irritations such as highway expansion joints. We would also prefer more steering feedback than what's provided by the electrohydraulic setup, which feels artificial and not quite quick enough. Volvo officials emphatically defend this calibration, pointing out that it was selected to address the different requirements of the thumbwheel generation.
We aren't totally convinced by the five-cylinder engine. The numbers are solid (0 to 60 mph in 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 146 mph), but although the torque delivery plateaus from 1500 to 4800 rpm (where 236 lb-ft is on tap), throttle response can be hesitant, and there is a prevailing feeling that you're in the wrong gear. Since a pushy driving style induces torque steer even before a corner comes into sight, it's best to leave the shifter in D, avoid the final 2000 rpm, and relish the considerable pulling power. In line with the overall dynamic mediocrity are the strong but uncommunicative brakes, the much too casual body control, and the predictably passive handling, which lacks the depth of modularity we are familiar with in the Volkswagen GTI.
You don't have to have a soft spot for fairy tales to appreciate the Volvo C30, but it helps. After all, this car has chosen the emotional route to your heart, and it begs to be measured by more subjective criteria than its run-of-the-mill rivals. In terms of sheer driving pleasure, the new Volvo meets only our most basic expectations. But as far as performance and street credibility are concerned, it combines the charm of an icon with the A-to-B competence of a modern hatchback. While the C30 is clearly the wrong choice for the evil mother-in-law, Snow White and her Prince Charming are going to love it.

Acquity Group Study Finds Top Retailers Leave 73% Of Customer Tweets Unanswered
CHICAGO, Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Acquity Group (NYSE MKT: AQ), a leading global Brand eCommerce® and digital marketing company, announced today the social media findings from its 2012 Brand eCommerce Audit™, which evaluated Interbrand's 2012 Best Retail Brands on customer engagement across major digital channels, including big browser, social, and mobile.
While every brand on the list except one has a Facebook page, and 45 out of 50 are on Twitter, only 12 brands had a cohesive presence across all five of the major social networks analyzed (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube).
The audit revealed Twitter had the largest gap between usage and interaction. With a 90 percent adoption rate among the brands, less than 27 percent actively participate in Twitter conversations with consumers. In fact, companies were least likely to respond to or engage with customers via Twitter than any other social media channel evaluated.
"Although most brands are signed up for the major social networks, many struggle to understand how they fit into their overarching business strategy. As a result, our audit revealed several critical areas of improvement when it comes to actually connecting with consumers across social channels," said Jay Dettling, Executive Vice President at Acquity Group. "The important take away for brands is to avoid haphazard or sporadic use of social media. When a new social media channel is introduced, brands need to take the time to analyze the potential impact and return, and develop a solid strategy from there."
Brands were most active on YouTube, with 80 percent of the brands leveraging the channel at an 85 percent engagement rate. Even though the majority of companies (56 percent) have yet to utilize Instagram, the brands with a presence on this platform also had a high level of interaction (79 percent). Pinterest was identified as the most popular up and coming social network, with 60 percent adoption and 70 percent interaction. According to Dettling, these findings demonstrate the growing importance of engaging consumers through videos and visuals.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Sunday, August 16
Comerica Park
Attendance: None
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - A pair of Ryan Raburn errors in the 10th inning did the Tigers in, as the Royals edged Detroit, 3-2, to avoid a sweep in the finale of a three-game set from Comerica Park.
Mike Jacobs drove in a run for Kansas City, which has just four wins over its last nine tries. Willie Bloomquist also knocked in a run in the win.
Magglio Ordonez had a solo homer for the Tigers, who are 3-4 over their last seven games and went 0-for-16 with runners in scoring position Sunday.
"It was one of things where you gotta keep battling and try to have better at- bats," Tigers catcher Gerald Laird said of the results with runners in scoring position. "You can't worry about results...it's just one of those things that's part of the game."
Neither pitcher factored into the decision, as Armando Galarraga went five frames and gave up two runs on four hits with six strikeouts and two walks for the home team. Kyle Davies lasted six innings and yielded a pair of runs on nine hits with three punchouts to one walk for the Royals.
"This game we were able to pick one in the 10th inning and avoid the sweep," said Davies.
With the game tied at two in the 10th inning, Fernando Rodney (2-3) was on the mound trying to keep it even. Josh Anderson had a one-out single and David DeJesus reached first on Raburn's fielding gaffe. Bloomquist advanced the runners with a groundout, and Billy Butler reached first to allow a run to score as Raburn's throw was off the mark.
Jacobs then walked to load the bases before Alberto Callaspo flied out to kill the rally, but not before the Royals took a 3-2 edge.
Joakim Soria (3-0) got Marcus Thames to go down swinging, but Miguel Cabrera finagled a single back up the middle. Carlos Guillen whiffed for the second out and Clete Thomas popped up to end the game.
The Royals got on the board in the first inning. DeJesus led off with a walk, moved to third two batters later on Butler's double and crossed home to make it 1-0 as Jacobs singled to center.
Ordonez tied it in the second frame with a solo homer to left field.
KC took a 2-1 lead in the fifth. DeJesus drew a two-out walk and crossed home as Bloomquist followed with a double.
The Tigers tied it in the home portion, though. Adam Everett led off with an infield single, moved to third on Placido Polanco's base hit and trotted home for the equalizer on a wild pitch.
