Starting a New Garden Plot
Hello there,
My husband and I have owned our house for 1 year now, this winter I would like to make a 20x20 garden polt out of what was once a lawn in my front yard. The grass is over grown and sloped down hill away from the house. there are a variety of weeds and things growing on their own (horsetails, mint, grasses, boxwood shrubs) Before I started reading about permaculture I would have had my friendly neighbor tractor rototill the area. Now I'm feeling like this might not be the ecologically sound idea.
I have a Bunch of straw bedding full of goat poop goodness to add to the already rich dark soil. Chickens are part of our little family too.
So my question, how to create a space for the veggies herbs and such so they wont compete with the grass? with out tearing everything up? is it ok to till the soil the first year and then just mantain it after that without tilling? Any ideas? Hand pulling a whole lawn just can't be the answer =). thank you!
Horsetail cannot be beaten. the rest you can solarize or cover with cardboard to smother it then build a garden on top of that. Some "peraculture" methods such as double digging absolutely require that you go through and turn the soil.
g'day rudymegan,
you could chcek out our raised garden beds there may be some ideas there for you?
Here is a link that might be useful: lens garden page
thanks for the info! I looked up how to solarize and I'm worried that I don't have the kind of hot sunny days that are needed this time of year. I live in Northern California on the coast so I have a lot of foggy cool days. The summer brings a few months of solid sun but those are the best (and only for some crops) growing times!
The layered mulch idea seems good.
You mentioned that some methods need the soil to be turned... would this mean rototilling? I don't have a problem with this method it would save me lots of time. I was afraid it was bad for the soil though.
Len- your page is very nice and I might look at raised beds. I will have to look in the the costs of border materials and starter soil.
Thanks again - still looking for answers on the "permaculure- to till or not to till" idea
Rudymegan, I have a small organic farm in coastal Summerland, S.Barbara County. So I can commiserate with your cool foggy growing environment. There are some summer months where we see the sun between 4 pm and sunset. My main problem, then, is the same as yours: soil temperatures too low for really good summer cropping of those tomatoes, eggplants, cukes, and corn. Long ago I moved away from heavily mulched cropping ground to raised bed into which we work compost and, as needed, "organic" fertilizers. Raised beds with dark-colored soils tend to heat up faster; mulches keep soil temperatures lower in summer and warmer in winter in our sort of climate.
We do rototill to work in amendments and raw OM materials not taken to the composting area. This practice is hard on the soil organisms and should be limited. If you decide to work the soil with tractor, figure you can have a lot of organic matter disked or rototilled where after a few months you can begin gardening in earnest.
You never mentioned how deep your soil reached, the texture of the soil, how steep the slope and what exposure (e.g. South, North)
The soil reaches at least 5 feet (we planted a redwood last year and dug a good deep hole.) The soil is moist, not too clay-like but does stick to your boots. When dry or wet it is easy to dig and work with. the slope is less then 15 degrees. exposure is to the east and south. We have a mountian to the west so the sun sets fast here.
What kind of food producing plants have you had success with? I came from the centeral valley and I tried my regular peppers, tomatoes, summer squash, and some corn. the corn did ok and I see it growing around town, but it still didn't trun out like I wanted. my pumpkins did great! and I only threw them in as an after thought. the tomatoes had a little green house (4 foot plastic tent type) and I got one big bowl and then no more. I'm thinking articokes, brocolli, spinach, carrots, and i'd love some tomatoes... they just don't grow here like in that warm valley =)
Other than the Mtns on the West, your site is blessed. Your frost season may limit what you can grow in winter time compared to what I can grow under my subtropical Mediterranean climate.
The kinds of vegetables and herbs you can grow are many; you can even grow the heat lovers of summer with a little more effort and expense and the right varieties.
Our summer crops are all pre-started for later transplanting, often through plastic sheeting that allows more soil heating. We also use perforated plastic tunnels over wire hoops or just floating row covers to create warmer interior temps and more optimal growing conditions. Keeps bugs and critters off the plant too. You can use paper mulches but these don't allow for as much soil warming.
Without the use of these infra-red transmitting plastics, our transplantings of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and squash family plants are delayed by a month or more. In some years with late rains, our soil temperature at 6 inches doesn't warm past 60F until June. We try to get out first cycle of summer crops in by mid to late March by which time cold weather and most rains have passed.
Given our climate, we can grow most cool-season crops year round, or least stretch the season at both ends.
Today I've been seeding transplant trays with lettuce, beets, broccoli, cabbage, endive, escarole, kales, Swiss chard, kohlrabi, onion seed for green bunching onions and scallions, leeks, peas, and a bunch of Asian greens and mustard greens. About the only things we direct seed are radishes and carrots.
We already have growing most of the above as well as arugula, cilantro, parsley, leaf and stalk celeries, garlics, onions, shallots, fava beans, snap and snow peas, Brussels sprouts, spinach.

Big Button Game: Metacity Introduces Flexibility
The current button arrangement redesign in Ubuntu causes numerous bugs in GNOME and Ubuntu. The Metacity team now wants to step in.
The recent hot discussion around the redesign of the three standard window buttons to move them from right to left in the Ubuntu 10.04 window alerted Metacity window manager developers to a problem they've long been grappling with: if a designer includes specific images for the buttons in a developed theme, they can't be moved without breaking the underlying design.
A GNOME user can now freely determine where the buttons go, but themes present a special problem in that the button_layout key specifies their position in the GNOME configuration. The solution is not optimal because button_layout is persisted across themes (the global setting) so that a user can't change the positioning when introducing a new theme.
GNOME developers want to solve this problem so that future themes will overwrite the button_layout setting, which would require a new Themes v3 format. Metacity developer Thomas Thurman in his blog is rather recommending a workaround involving a separate GKeyFile configuration file in the theme directory that would parse the key-value file to set the button layout for any new theme.

Photo of the day - Kallis
Another very reserved and shy person in our team. You can call him brother of Rahul :-) Also very camera shy. Ray saw this photo and said this is a very very rare moment and is like sighting a Tiger in India.
About this photo - Taken during one of the practice sessions. Was just moving around Kallis waiting for this rare moment. There was a blue backdrop of the CLT20 in the stadium. I used that to get a nice BG for some images.
Place - Chinnaswamy Stadium
Equipment - Canon 1D Mark III + Canon 100-400
Another note - It is not about taking good pictures. They also need to processed well to get the right output.

quote:And do I not gain 5.0% on that $1,000 over 30 years
quote:Does that $1100 include taxes and insurance payments?
quote:My point was the extra $1,000 I put toward the principal knocked off 4 months in payments, seeing as how I am still early in my loan, saving $4,400 over the next 30 years.
quote:Personally, I am doing a refi right now for 30 years at 3.25%, and have no plans to prepay. For me, prepaying only gives me a 2.4% ROI, which is probably a negative real rate. No way in hell I am prepaying that puppy.
quote:No, just no.
quote:It does not alter the amount of interest that is taken from your monthly payment each month as this is all pre-calculated

I am so confused about what to do. In 1991, I was married for the first time ever, at 29 years old. I had a great job making good money, as well as great benefits for my two sons and myself. I knew my own gut feelings on the marriage subject and how I could count on what I was providing for my family, without any help from someone else. I took the ongoing advice of others and married my boyfriend (not the father of my sons), And disaster followed. It went from bad, to totally bizarre. I was so tormented by this misfit of a person and the toll it was taking on the kids. Then I find out he bisexual and that was it.
Now it is 1996 and he is out of my life financially, but not without still coming around to torment me some more after I had left my job to help him and his family start their own ironworks business. I found myself with three jobs to make ends meet. Two years later I met Jim, and he was so persistent, with a great work ethic, and looks, and many other fine attributes -- or so it appeared. After dating him for about two years, he convinced me to marry him and that would be great because of his health insurance, as I had none at the time. I was reluctant, but he did all of the paperwork to obtain the marriage license. We were married in 2000 and I worked two jobs then and he bought me (so he said) a house in 2000 in a town quite far away from where we had been living. It took me two years to move into this house.
I found out his family members occupied five bedrooms and three baths I was so horrified to know that this arrangement would be the cornerstone of my increasingly downward spiraling life. He was physically, verbally, horrifically abusive -- so much so that he got felony probation of five years in lieu of six months in prison for domestic violence. I had been so wrapped up in the constant turmoil of his ongoing needs, as well as those of his four children and his mother, who is still collecting every cent she can on every payday, and driving the new car he bought her before leaving me penniless, and without the car he was still paying on for me. It was the only car he ever bought me. We always had mine.
He filed taxes from 2000 to 2011 as head of household and listed me as his wife (it has my job title as homemaker) and that is a huge understatement. I did everything for that man, and he never lifted a cup, or plate. He was waited on hand and foot. And I was faithful and dedicated to our marriage, so much so that the other marriage had not crossed my mind since I had paid to divorce the first one and did just that, or so I believed, only to find out the divorce never went through.
My sister is a paralegal and I truly believed in her ability when she said it was done. That is what I believed until just before he moved out from our apartment in California to Illinois to live with his kids and I signed away my half of the annuity fund notary and all. I told him of my discovery online, that I had checked for the divorce record and found none. He is so mean and I will not give up. I will not give up.

"Customized this with bright pink and yellow for my daughter's first birthday party - they turned out so spectacular. ONLY criticism is that the weight of the stickers is a bit thin... but used them as seals for her invitations and they perfectly coordinated with the address labels (same Fantastic First group, which I also customized). Happy customer!"
"We loved this label. It match the party invitations we ordered and we used them to personalize our party favors. We wish they came in larger options and other shapes too!"
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"This item was a fantastic addition to my nieces birthday. It received praises from everyone as it added a personal touch"
"I bought these to label my daughter's birthday favors. I have not used them yet, but they are a well made product and I bought the matching invitation. They feel like good quality stickers and look beautiful."

Moccasin Bypass To Close For Guardrail Installation
The Moccasin Bypass will be closed for two consecutive days during the week of November 15-19 as guardrails are installed in several locations along roadway. The two-day closure period will be chosen based on weather conditions, and the Town of Estes Park Public Works Department will barricade the road at Riverside Drive near the Aerial Tramway entrance as well as near the western-most entrance to the Estes Park Medical Center. Traffic will be detoured through downtown to Stanley Avenue. All entrances to the Medical Center will remain open.
Public Works Director Scott Zurn commented, "The guardrail will enhance safety along this section of roadway, primarily reducing the potential for motorists leaving the roadway and encountering the steep embankments." The majority of the guardrails will be installed along Crags Drive above the Aerial Tramway facility. Another will be installed across from the western-most parking lot of the Estes Park Medical Center. For more information, please contact the Town of Estes Park Public Works Department at 970-577-3588. Subscribe to receive Town news in your e-mail inbox by e-mailing email@example.com.

i love love love love this eyeshadow!! i usually have trouble with creasing, so i need to apply base, then carefully apply eyeshadow, and it takes awhile. with this, i don't even need to use a base, i have absolutely no creasing. i like the creamy texture, and love this shade. its a basic neutral brown with shimmer, but not too much. only complaint is it gets a bit difficult to sharpen.
MY COMPLETE HG!!! LOVE this cream eye shadow so much, the perfect nude shimmer that lasted the whole day without any creasing whatsoever. It's also the most versatile thing ever, you can build up the intensity for both day and night looks and can also be used as a base and brow highlighter. I've had this one little tube for so long and it's seriously lasting me for forever. I wish it these shadows weren't discontinued, not only were they divine but they were so cheap. So Maybelline liquid eyes might be worth looking into as they are also great.
I wish these shadows hadn't been discontinued! Chill the Champagne never creases and it lasts all day. It's a gorgeous, shimmery bronzey-champagne that applies smoothly and is great as a base or on its own. The colour really brings out the blue in my eyes.
I found this item on clearance b/c it's being discontinued...what a steal for under $3!!! :O I don't like many of the other Maybelline CE shadows because they are too glittery, but Chill the Champagne is simply nice and shimmery. This does not crease at all and is very easy to apply and blend (with a patting motion). Many taupe/champagne shades make my GGG/MMM skin looked washed out, or do not match with it, but this one compliments it just right.

opinionAlso in this section: The Greater Caribbean This Week The view from the top by Luis Carpio No prow can slice through a cloud of ideas Peoples who know not each other must hurry to know each other, as those who ready themselves to fight together. José Martí, Nuestra América A popular cop-out in the debate on our integration has been the old saw that, whilst the people embrace each other, the leaders turn their backs. Dangerous sophistry that, if one truly believes in democracy, as it denotes either a blind leadership or an indolent electorate. Though there might be something to the popular criticism of summits and summiteering (too many, too often, too costly, too few results), a more informed analysis yields that great turning points are owed to these events. Indeed, if democracy is meant to be a bottom-up affair, from that very fact follows that elected leaders are expected to lead and thus, when even the best intentions stagnate, they can always benefit from the refreshing View from the Top. The 4th ACS Summit, held in Panama City on 29th July on the heels of our 10th anniversary, comes when the Association has achieved a level of maturity that requires a New Vision for the future. Our leaders have recognized that the time is ripe to move more rapidly toward our objectives through promoting greater consultation and co-operation, taking into account the dynamics of the wider international agenda. Yes, the Panama Declaration might be a bit lengthy. It did indeed go into a series of issues, which might not be entirely germane to our work. It addresses countries support for the multilateral system with the UN and its charter at its core. It talks about energy cooperation, terrorism, drugs, democracy, corruption and effective public administration, sovereignty and non-intervention, the handicapped, HIV/AIDS, indigenous peoples and human rights. I must also point out that the summit went an extra mile in its embracement of democracy by paying special tribute to the former president of Trinidad and Tobago, HE Arthur N.R. Robinson for his contribution to the creation of the ACS, his personal courage in the defense of democracy and his important role in the creation of the International Court of Justice. Though many are driven to despair by the insertion of these supposed non- ACS issues, it must be acknowledged that, in so doing, leaders underscore that, far from being a think tank or cooperation agency, the ACS is indeed the mechanism envisioned in its 1994 convention, i.e. that the ACS was and is, from its very inception and the circumstances of its birth, apolitical forum. Beyond that, it must also be acknowledged that it would be unthinkable for national leaders to abandon fundamental principles and core commitments from one forum to the next. None of this is intended to underplay the mandate-specific achievements of the summit, as the political support received from heads was translated to all areas. The Caribbean Sea is our patrimony and our leaders, as its custodians, pledged to continue seeking its recognition as a special area in the context of sustainable development by the UN. A lofty aspiration, as it is envisioned to go beyond the merely declaratory, to enable us to obtain the necessary assistance to take on the serious responsibility of effectively assuming the sovereignty over waters which, in the case of some Caribbean nations, can be larger than their land area. Our vulnerability to natural disasters and their negative impact on efforts to ensure sustainable (socio-economic) development was acknowledged. Furthermore, heads agreed that the best way to combat vulnerability to natural disasters is to integrate disaster management and risk reduction into development policies and plans and reaffirmed the importance of international and regional cooperation. Heads also recognized the sad state of affairs posed by an intra-Caribbean trade at only 8% of our countries global commerce and the need to promote regional investment to cushion our dependency on (often fickle) extra-regional investments. Talks on an ACS agreement on investment promotion and protection were approved and the work undertaken by the ACS to support the progressive dismantling of obstacles to trade and the mobility of capital also received support as did the insistence on recognizing the special vulnerabilities of the small economies amongst us. As tourism is one of our most important sources of foreign direct investment and foreign exchange earnings as well as a significant provider of employment in the region, the ACS was mandated to continue to aim at increasing the number of visitors. Leaders underscored the fact that the ACS Convention Establishing the Sustainable Tourism Zone of the Caribbean creates the first such zone in the world, thus paving the way to market a tourism product in a manner consistent with attracting ecologically aware tourism as well as with the development of a environmental and socio-economically conscious tourism industry. The state of air and maritime transport in the Greater Caribbean was also addressed as transport was acknowledged to be a channel for strengthening regional ties, especially in the areas of trade and tourism. In that respect, the ACS was recognized as an instrument for addressing the main challenges of maritime and air transport within the framework of the Associations program: Uniting the Caribbean by Air and Sea. However, and much to my personal delight, implicit in the language of the declaration and the debate, is the recognition that the trade and tourism woes of our region will no longer be laid at the feet of the air and shipping industry. Getting back to the politics, in both the declaration and the debate, Heads drew an unbroken line between the action envisioned and the ultimate goal of the ACS: To work toward the social end economic development of our people, to combat poverty, hunger and social exclusion and to give the Greater Caribbean its rightful place in the world, for: The Caribbean regional integration movement will succeed to the extent that we diligently strive for a New Global Human Order. Cheddi Jagan, From Montego Bay to Georgetown Luis Carpio is the director of natural disasters and transport of the Association of Caribbean States.

This is the screen that greets you when you launch the NYTimes iPhone app. It is running off and fetching some stuff from NYtimes.com.
Here is the latest news. Notice that I was using this app with WiFi on (on my first gen iPhone). Even via WiFi this app took forever to download content. A few pictures simply didn't load at all.
OK, I know this app is free, but why would anyone think that using that much of such a small screen for an ad was a good idea? It is true that the ad doesn't show up on every article, but for the articles that include an ad that ad just stays down there hogging the screen.
Here's an example of the pictures not loading. Pretty darned lame on WiFi, don't you think?
This is the part of the app with the most promise, but sadly that promise wasn't realized. I was hoping for something like Boston.com's Big Picture blog, but instead I got more slow loading pictures, this time in a grid!
It has all the sections of the paper. By clicking Edit you can customize the bottom nav bar.
I took this screenshot just because it includes an iPhone. Meta!

Faced with rising numbers of foreign entries (long- and short-term), China in 2012 adopted new legislation to manage its migration flows—the first reform to the country's immigration law since 1985. With an underlying tension in the legal framework between restricting immigrants deemed unwanted and welcoming those viewed as desirable, this feature examines the exit-entry law's key points.
Read Article
An estimated 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, about 13 percent of the total U.S. population, constituting the world's largest foreign-born population. This Spotlight from MPI's Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova offers the most current and sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—including origin, educational attainment, the unauthorized, deportations, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Migration has begun to follow the flow of capital after years of Chinese investment in major infrastructure projects in Zambia. This feature article, based on original research including the coding of 25,000 Zambian entry permits, examines the emerging migration pattern from China to Zambia, as Chinese migration to the country has increased 60 percent since 2009.
President Obama's sweeping executive action to shield as many as 3.7 million unauthorized immigrants who are parents of U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents from deportation is facing tough legal and political challenges. This month's Policy Beat examines the efforts to proceed with implementation of DAPA and the expansion of DACA despite a lawsuit brought by a coalition of 26 states and staunch opposition in the Republican-controlled Congress.
Fifty years ago, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, radically altering U.S. policy and reshaping the demographic profile of the United States. Examining the foreign policy and domestic concerns leading to the law's enactment, David S. FitzGerald and David Cook-Martín argue that the demise of the national-origins quota system was driven by geopolitical factors.
With the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1943 and normalization of U.S.-China relations in the late 1970s, Chinese immigration to the United States has steadily increased, to a population of more than 2 million. Using the latest data, this Spotlight highlights characteristics of Chinese immigrants from mainland China and Hong Kong, including their top state and metro areas of residence, immigration pathways, educational attainment, and more.
Use this data tool—referred to as "one addictive interactive map"—to examine immigrant populations by country of origin and destination. Find out how many Americans live in Mexico, how many Ukrainians in Russia, or Filipinos in Saudi Arabia, for example.
Whether as migrant-sending or migrant-receiving locations—or both—many countries have rich, complex international and internal migration histories. MPI's online journal, the Migration Information Source, offers profiles of more than 70 nations. Written by leading scholars, these profiles delve into countries' migration histories, demographics, policymaking, and more.
Circular migration means a continuing, long-term pattern of international mobility. The European Union set up two pilot programs in 2008 that seek to facilitate this type of movement.
Remittances to developing countries have steadily climbed, but the economic crises this year raise the question of how those countries will fare with the United States and Europe in recession.
MPI's Muzaffar Chishti and Claire Bergeron report on the 2008 presidential election, two Supreme Court cases on immigration, Arizona Proposition 202, and more.
Contrary to a widely held view, not all immigrants have little education. About one in three immigrants is a person with either a U.S. or foreign college degree.
In the United States, asylum on the basis of sexual orientation was first granted in 1994. Swetha Sridharan of the Council on Foreign Relations explains why U.S. immigration law focuses on sexual identity rather than sexual conduct, and what this distinction has meant for asylum seekers.
U.S. lawmakers are preparing to vote on reauthorizing the 1996 legislation that limited immigrant access to federally funded welfare benefits. Audrey Singer, Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, maps out what is at stake for all sides in the debate.
Resolving complex legal, social, and security issues after Sept. 11 will not be easy. But what does immigration have to do with it? Muzaffar Chishti, MPI Senior Policy Analyst, explains.
Large-scale migration from Mexico to the United States is expected to continue well into the next decade. MPI Co-Director Demetrios Papademetriou looks at attempts to move the U.S.-Mexico migration relationship from one mired in problems and recriminations to one yielding important and reciprocal economic and national security benefits.
Australia plans to increase its 2002-2003 immigration program to the highest annual intake since the end of the 1980s.
The Palestinian refugee population is one of the world's oldest and largest, and poses enduring challenges to international aid organizations. The Source asked Karen Koning AbuZayd, who has been UNRWA's Deputy Commissioner-General since August 2000, to give her perspective on the current crisis.

I am running a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04. At work I have a 1080p monitor I attach via HDMI. I notice that if I am at home just working with the laptop screen and then put the laptop to sleep (just by closing the screen), and then bring it into work and plug in the monitor I get sticky edges between the screens (despite having them disabled).
If I start my laptop with the HDMI monitor plugged in, I do not suffer from these symptoms. Ideally I would love to solve the issue of not having sticky edges at all after plugging in the monitor (so I don't have to restart my machine), but I have had no such luck.
One solution I tried to entertain was just restarting the x server. After googling around for a bit, I learned I can write:
sudo service lightdm restart
sudo restart lightdm
both seem to do the same thing, but lightdm never actually restarts. I just get stuck at the attached screen. Any ideas?

Rob Kardashian has always lived in the shadows of his older sisters, but now it turns out the 26-year-old might hide a huge secret. Rob is, according to Star magazine, a father.
Rob reportedly has a 4-year-old son, that is the unexpected result of a fling with a woman who lives in Miami. "Rob had a get-together at his apartment, and some people noticed a teddy bear on his bed", an insider claims. "They asked him why he had it, and he said it was a present for his son".
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is reportedly uncomfortable talking about his secret love child with friends. The source claims Rob has a relationship with the child, and that he sees his son whenever he and his baby mama comes to L.A.

The innovative Mam Microwave Steam Steriliser is the ideal support for everyday baby life and makes a perfect design statement in the kitchen.
Up to 6 bottles with components can be flexibly arranged on 2 levels, yet the Steriliser is extra small so that it fits the majority of microwaves.
No bottle rack necessary! The grooves on the inside of the lid can be used to drain the sterilised products. Simply place the basket with products or the individual bottles inside.
The appliance can also be used for cold-water sterilisation.
Contents remain sterile for up to 24 hours if lid is unopened.
I use it for my newborn it works lovely could do with being a lil shorter but its okay |
brilliant foxymoxy 15 Aug 2013 |
I've had a few different top makes of microwave sterilisers but started using MAM bottles (and stopped using self sterilise bottles due to needing larger bottles) I have a very small microwave and this manages to fit in. I can do 4 11fl oz bottles at the one time with dummies also. I haven't found any cons yet. |

"Fort Worth Robbery Suspect Shot, But Not By Police
(CBS 11 News) FORT WORTH Gunshots rang out at an Albertsons grocery store in Fort Worth after a robbery attempt on Tuesday night. A suspect was shot, but not by the police.
The incident took place at about 11:30 p.m. at the store located on Sycamore School Road.
According to the Fort Worth Police Department, three armed men walked into the store and began robbing customers and employees. One of the victims called her husband who was waiting just outside of the store. The husband then walked into the store with a concealed handgun and confronted one of the suspects.
"We certainly don't encourage that," said Lt. J.D. McCarthy with the Fort Worth Police Department. "We ask that, most of the time, contact the police department and let patrol officers handle those situations."
The suspect, identified as Raysun Johnson, was shot in the backside as he was leaving the scene. He is undergoing surgery at JPS Hospital in Fort Worth, and is expected to be arrested when he is released.
The other two suspects fled the scene and have not yet been found.
Police are calling the shooting an act of self-defense, and are not charging the husband. "
Here's the link
This section of town is a fairly dangerous place even in daylight
crack-houses and gang violence, too bad we don't have the old "regulators" like at the turn of the last century, citizens just got fed-up with the crime and outlawry, but of course there were no police on the frontier.

One of my favourite professors always used to say, "A degree in history doesn't disqualify you from anything." While true, this begs the question, what exactly does history qualify you for?
I've always struggled with justifying, to myself and often to others, my decision to study history. I'm sure nearly everyone in the humanities has had this conversation at some point in his or her life:
"What are you studying?"
"Huh, what are you going to do with that?"
Many people in the humanities, myself included, feel a degree of envy from time to time when they see people working on more vocational degrees. People studying accounting become accountants. People studying medicine become doctors. People studying teaching becomes teachers. I don't want to trivialize the amount of work and struggle it takes to complete these degrees and find these jobs, but I often feel that other degrees have better defined career trajectories. No person studying veterinary medicine ever had someone ask what they were going to do with their degree.
What do people studying history become? Historians? Professors? Unemployed?
In my darkest hours, it's easy to feel that history (and the humanities in general) is somewhat frivolous, something that's interesting but not necessarily vital to the functioning of society. Stop me if this conversation sounds familiar:
"So what's your research about?"
"Oh, I'm working on (jargon). It has the potential to cure cancer. How about yours?"
"Me? I'm looking at what the size of twelfth-century books tells us about how the readers used them."
The necessity of the historian's role in today's society is not always apparent. Because of this it's easy to feel that that the world could go on without historians.
After reading a number of different news stories this week I'm more convinced than ever that historians are vital to the functioning of society. Historians serve a vital role because there are people out there who are actively manipulating history to serve their own political, financial, and social goals. In an age where both information and misinformation travel like wildfire, historians and all those in the humanities, serve society by advocating and educating critical thought and discourse.
In a recent speech, Barack Obama discussed the role of the American government in contributing to the success of individuals, arguing that even 'self-made' business owners own some of their success to the hard work of the American government and American people. As an example of this principle he cites the creation of the internet, stating, "The Internet didn't get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all companies could make money off the Internet."
This is a fair assessment of history. American tax dollars contributed to the creation of the internet through military-funded research that led to the creation of APRAnet, the first large-scale packet-switched network. This network was an integral first step in building the internet as we know it today.
In an editorial on the Wall Street Journal, L. Gordon Crovitz wrote his own version of history, saying that "It's an urban legend that the government launched the Internet." He concludes his piece with the following statement:
"It's important to understand the history of the Internet because it's too often wrongly cited to justify big government. It's also important to recognize that building great technology businesses requires both innovation and the skills to bring innovations to market. As the contrast between Xerox and Apple shows, few business leaders succeed in this challenge. Those who do—not the government—deserve the credit for making it happen" (emphasis added).
Despite noting the importance of understanding the history of the internet, Crovtiz himself seems to completely misunderstand it. As Timothy B. Lee (no relation to Tim Berners-Lee) observes in his article on Ars Technica, Crovitz displays very little understanding of the internet's history, confusing ethernet, internet, and the web in his article and even misunderstanding how to reference block-quotes.
It's clear from reading Crovitz's article that it's not a case of simple misunderstanding, he is intentionally manipulating the past to serve his present agenda of discrediting Barack Obama and undermining the idea of government sponsorship. It's not at all difficult to research the history of the internet, it's an event which happend (largely) within our life-times and is corroborated with ample written records and living witnesses. Unlike many historical topics, there is very little scholarly debate surrounding its creation. Even the bastion of conservative propaganda Conservapedia recognizes the role government funding played in the creation of the internet.
Crovitz's article is part of a larger attack on critical thought. I realize that I'm starting to sound somewhat like a conspiracy nut, claiming that forces are conspiring to attack critical thinking by using history to manipulate the populous. Thankfully though, the Republican Party of Texas have recently announced that the war on critical thought is all too real. The Texas GOP wrote the following into their 2012 platform in the section on education:
"Knowledge-Based Education – We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) (values clarification), critical thinking skills and similar programs that are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) (mastery learning) which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student's fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority."
As far as the party is concerned critical thinking skills challenge 'fixed beliefs' and undermine parental authority. In other words, critical thinking skills allow students to think for themselves. Free thought? One shudders at the very thought of this unimagined horror.
Instead of Higher Order Thinking Skills, the party would rather that schools "support a return to the traditional basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, and citizenship with sufficient discipline to ensure learning and quality educational assessment."
But what about history? It seems to be left out from the GOP's list of 'traditional basics.' Worry not, the GOP is pro-history. Well, at least pro 'American' history. The party outlines its stance on history in the following paragraph:
"Traditional Principles in Education – We support school subjects with emphasis on the Judeo-Christian principles upon which America was founded and which form the basis of America's legal, political and economic systems. We support curricula that are heavily weighted on original founding documents, including the Declaration of Independence, the US Constitution, and Founders' writings."
History is encouraged as long as it fits the GOP's approved version of American history. Since students won't possess the critical faculties to question whether America was actually founded on Judeo-Christian principles, or question why in an increasingly globalized and multi-cultural world an exclusive focus on American history is appropriate, the GOP's history class would be less about education as it would be indoctrination.
Like the article by Crovitz, the GOP sees history as a political tool. By stripping students of critical thought and expounding a singular historical narrative that revolves around Christ and the Constitution, history class is akin to brainwashing.
Sadly Texas isn't the only state attempting to use history to brainwash a new generation of voters. A 2011 performance review of public schools in Louisiana gave 44% of the school in the state a failing grade. In an attempt to improve education in the state, Louisiana has implemented a voucher program for low and middle income families, helping more students attend private schools. This policy sounds great in theory, but in practice many of these private schools are little more than indoctrination camps for far-right religious ideals.
As Zack Kopplin notes in his article on Change.org, many of these private schools teach utter nonsense in the guise of fact, including things like the existence of the Loch Ness Monster, that God used the Trail of Tears to bring First Nations communities to Christ, and that the severity of the Great Depression was exaggerated by liberals.
One school participating in the voucher program, called Claiborne Christian School, states in its handbook that students are taught "to discern and refute lies commonly found in [secular] textbooks, college classrooms, and in the media." This isn't the kind of critical thinking that students should be learning in schools.
So let's bring this back around to the role historians play in society. The internet gives everyone an unprecedented ability to share information, but the ability cuts both ways. Misinformation can be spread just as easily as information. Historians, and all those who believe in the betterment of society, have the ability to think critically and question how and why information is being used.
Historians who have gone into teaching play the critical role of educator, teaching future generations how to question and to think critically. Historians working in other fields also play important roles by taking active roles in their communities and by being politically active.
The study of history equips individuals with the tools they need to make their own decisions and not to follow along blindly to whichever group that speaks the loudest. The cornerstone of any democratic nation is an informed populous and historians play an essential role in informing and engaging this populous.
History is a great thing. It can be used to engage, to education, to entertain, or a host of other positive things. It's a shame that groups are using history as a weapon in this war on critical thought. Historians have a responsibility to make sure that history is used for the betterment of society and not to its detriment.
It's often said that history is written by the victors, let's make sure that we don't lose the war on critical thought. I'd hate to see how the other side would write our history.

Ten Best DJ Booths in EDM: From DJ Shadow to Skrillex, Avicii, and Daft Punk
8. Justice
When it comes to dance music, Frenchies pretty much do everything better. Justice rule the world of gritty filter house, and their stage set up reflects their metal roots. More Marshall amps than you've ever seen create a wall, with the epic center-piece of their glowing, signature cross. And with the addition of their second album, they added illuminated organ pipes and at one point in the show, Gaspard Auge (the one with the mustache) comes out and plays on a hidden keyboard. It's fucking sick.
7. DJ Shadow
Not only is he one of the illest mixers there is and an incredible turntablist, but he plays inside some kind of space-egg. It flashes all over with lights and images projected so as to seem like the orb itself is alive and spinning around. Sure, you can't really see him, but what is there to see anyway? Just some guy working his damn ass off. We appreciate the effort and the visuals. < Previous>

We resolve a family of recently observed identities involving 1/π using the theory of modular forms and hypergeometric series. In particular, we resort to a formula of Brafman which relates a generating function of the Legendre polynomials to a product of two Gaussian hypergeometric functions. Using our methods, we also derive some new Ramanujan-type series.

STEUBENVILLE, OH -- About one day ago, I saw a headline that made me shudder and livid at the same time.
The headline: Coach Reno Saccaccio of Steubenville High School got a two year contract extension.
That right there validated the reason why I did not take any action demanding the Steubenville School District take action against Coach Saccaccio. I knew that early on (from both Twitter chatter and from blogposts) the Steubenville School District was full of rape enablers, from the school board on down to the pupils and that any calls of action would go ignored by the district.
That is why I called on feminists like Katherine Redmond of the National Council Against Violent Athletes and the Frisky women to bypass the Steubenville School District and take the demands straight to the Ohio High School Athletic Association in Columbus.
The OHSAA is the sanctioning body of Ohio's high school athletics, with their roles about the same as the South Carolina High School League here.
The OHSAA is the one who can enforce punishment for a multitude of things in Ohio, such as for covering up sexual assault.
It is incumbent upon us to flood Commissioner Daniel Ross's inbox demanding that he ban Steubenville High School's football team from the postseason for at least this upcoming season.
It is worth noting that Williston-Elko and Jonesville were kicked out of the postseason for something far less severe in 1991.
If the NCAA can ban Pennsylvania State for four years for covering up molestation from Jerry Sandusky, then most certainly the OHSAA can hand down a precedent-setting punishment to Steubenville and make it known that sexual assault will never again be second-fiddle to sports.
Contact Dr. Ross and demand that he ban Steubenville High School's football team from the playoffs in 2013!
Thanks to Think Progress and Jessica Wakeman for the links.

Tony Womack - 2B - STL ESPN's Jayson Stark confirms that Tony Womack and the Yankees have agreed to a two-year, $4 million contract.The money isn't bad, but with the Yankees, the money is pretty much irrelevant. That the Bombers are committing to a second baseman and probable leadoff hitter who will range somewhere between average and atrocious is great news for the rest of the American League. Dec. 7 - 11:46 pm et Source: ESPN.com
Jaret Wright - S - ATL According to the Washington Post, Jaret Wright will sign a three-year deal to pitch for the Yankees.The contract is in the same neighborhood of Kris Benson's three-year, $22.5 million contract with the Mets. We think that's too high unless Leo Mazzone comes with him. Wright isn't likely to collapse outside Atlanta, but he might not perform much better than Javier Vazquez did last season.

On May 19, the south portion of the Red Line will be closed from Chinatown/Cermak Station to the 95th Street terminal while the tracks are replaced. During the five months of scheduled construction, nearly 45,000 daily riders of the Dan Ryan Red Line will need to use alternative transit service.
We understand that this construction is necessary to improve our transit system, but we also know it will be an inconvenience for many riders.
So here's the scoop about getting around during the closure, where to get the latest travel info and how to avoid delays.
Tip 1: Get to know the Green Line
During the Red Line south closure, the CTA will be using the Green Line 63rd/Ashland to connect south side riders to the Loop and beyond. If you live or work close to a Green Line station, use that during the construction.
The Green Line will operate 24/7 and all buses on east-west streets that currently serve Red Line stations will also stop at the Green Line. For example, if you currently take the 47th Street bus to the Red Line, that bus will drop you off at the Green Line.
Tip 2: Remember to get off at the Garfield Green Line station for shuttle buses
If you regularly travel south of 63rd Street on the Red Line, you will need to use the shuttle buses that CTA is providing. These buses connect the 69th, 79th, 87th and 95th/Dan Ryan stations to the Garfield station on the Green Line.
At most times of the day (4 a.m.-1 a.m.), there will be express buses that take you directly from each of these stations to the Garfield Green Line station and back. These express buses are called R69, R79, R87 and R95.
Remember, these buses only stop at Garfield and the final destination indicated by their route name. All shuttle buses are free and you will also get free entry to the Green Line if you arrive by shuttle bus.
Tip 3: Pay close attention to bus route names and destinations
If you travel between two stations south of 63rd Street (from 95th Street to 69th Street, for example), you will need to use the free local shuttle called R63. This route will run between 95th and 63rd Streets making stops along the way at all the normal Red Line stations.
Keep in mind that most of the time (4 a.m.-1a.m.) the R63 will terminate at 63rd Street; it will not take you all the way to Garfield to connect to the Green Line. So if you are hoping to get to the Loop, make sure to take an express bus instead.
If you need to travel between 1a.m. and 4 a.m., no need to worry about which bus to take. Only the local service will operate at that time and it will make all stops between 95th and the Garfield Green Line station.
Tip 4: Allow extra time for traffic and transfers
The shuttle buses may travel directly on the Dan Ryan or through side streets as traffic allows. CTA will do its best to find the quickest route for the buses, including having real time information for bus drivers to make adjustments, but it's a fair bet that travel times may take longer than the train, especially during rush hour.
Tip 5: Consider a different route
As part of this plan, all buses south of 63rd Street will be offering a reduced fare.
Pace and Metra are also helping make it easier to get around during the Red Line closure. Pace will run two new express buses to the CTA's Roosevelt Red Line station during rush hours: one from the Pace Blue Island park-and-ride lot, the other from the Harvey Transportation Center. Each service will provide six morning and six afternoon trips for the duration of the project, as well as one midday round-trip serving Blue Island, Harvey and the Roosevelt station.
Metra will change the flag stops to regular stops at five Metra Electric stations in proximity to the Red Line for two inbound trains during the weekday morning rush hour, and two outbound trains in the weekday evening rush hour. Those stops are: 63rd, 75th, 79th, 87th and 95th. In addition, several Saturday trains also will make regular stops, instead of flag stops, at those five stations.
Tip 6: Stay connected with real-time updates
We hope everything runs smoothly with the alternative service, but delays can happen. Use one of these methods to stay connected so in the event of traffic, overcrowding or service breakdowns, you can make changes to your travel plan.
Know your rights! Sign on to the Red Line South Riders Bill of Rights asking the CTA to keep its commitments to residents living in affected areas.
I get why the shuttle buses are free, but why is entry to the green line from these shuttles free? I loves close to 2 north side lines previously that had closes stops on the brown and red lines. We all had to pay. Sure the additional walk or bus to the next station was a hassle, but nothing more than a minor nuisance. The loss of revenue to the CTA seems like a big hit. What's the reasoning, especially in comparison to other station closures on other lines? The south side with metra and buses has more alternatives than I ever had. Seems like a bad business decision.
I am cringing because service south of 95th Street is perpetually poor. My question is, whether there will be buses and commuter trains scheduled in such a manner that would pick up the slack.
For instance, will there be increased runs on the Blue Island and Mainline branches of the Metra Electric when the Red Line closes?
I pose the same question for the Metra Rock Island, which I sometimes use when the Metra Electric does not run during certain hours.
How would weekend service be affected on the CTA, METRA, and Pace lines?
Not looking forward to the 5th circle of hell that the red line shutdown will create for summer/fall transportation. Seems like there are some extra/special services for everyone except folks in/near Beverly and Morgan Park. Apparently Metra, Pace and CTA don't realize how many people in our area use the red line as a Plan B to supplement the Rock Island's inadequate night and weekend schedule. Metra's doing more for folks who live east of the red line. Pace has just announced special express buses for folks in Blue Island and Harvey. That Pace plan could be great for folks at the far south end of Morgan Park, but it's too far south to make logistical sense for folks closer to 95th St.
A few extra night and weekend runs on the Rock Island would make a big difference for Beverly and Morgan Park. I've written to Metra with a few specific suggestions. I hope you will encourage members in Beverly and Morgan Park to do likewise.

Protein acetylation has emerged as a major mechanism in regulating cellular metabolism. Whereas most glycolytic steps are reversible, the reaction catalyzed by pyruvate kinase is irreversible, and the reverse reaction requires phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK1) to commit for gluconeogenesis. Here, we show that acetylation regulates the stability of the gluconeogenic rate-limiting enzyme PEPCK1, thereby modulating cellular response to glucose. High glucose destabilizes PEPCK1 by stimulating its acetylation. PEPCK1 is acetylated by the P300 acetyltransferase, and this acetylation stimulates the interaction between PEPCK1 and UBR5, a HECT domain containing E3 ubiquitin ligase, therefore promoting PEPCK1 ubiquitinylation and degradation. Conversely, SIRT2 deacetylates and stabilizes PEPCK1. These observations represent an example that acetylation targets a metabolic enzyme to a specific E3 ligase in response to metabolic condition changes. Given that increased levels of PEPCK are linked with type II diabetes, this study also identifies potential therapeutic targets for diabetes.
