Redistricting process concludes with a compromise
Its first attempt at a redistricting compromise wasn't a success, but the Henrico County School Board found that a second compromise solution fit much better.
The board voted unanimously Dec. 13 to adopt a redistricting plan that shifts the boundaries of 13 West End elementary schools while creating boundaries for the new Kaechele Elementary, which will open next fall. To craft the boundary map that it adopted (Option 3), the board followed Chairwoman Diana Winston's suggestion during a work session earlier that day and merged the portion of Option 2 north of West Broad Street with the portion of Option 1 (Adjusted) south of West Broad Street. The compromise plan "really provides a balance for relief and seems like a no-brainer," Brookland District board member Beverly Cocke said during the work session. The plan will move about 1,300 students to new schools in the fall, including the 425 who will begin at Kaechele. All but one of the affected schools (Ridge Elementary) will have student populations below their capacity. Colonial Trail, Davis, Longan and Short Pump elementariness all will receive population relief as part of the redistricting plan. Rising fourth- and fifth-graders at all schools will be permitted to complete elementary school at their current schools should their parents provide transportation, while no current middle-school students will be affected by the changes. The board opted to leave Ridge's boundaries unchanged from their current design – something that a number of Ridge parents had requested. The school is among the most diverse in the county, with a significant blend of immigrant and low-income students; parents had argued that several redistricting proposals would have removed large segments of the school's volunteers and PTA members from its community, thereby harming its students. One proposal also would have trimmed so many low-income students that the school likely would have lost its Title I funding. The board intends to examine Ridge separately in the near future to determine how to address its needs, Winston said. She pointed to nearby Three Chopt Elementary, which is under capacity, as a school that could help alleviate its overcrowding. Adoption of Option 3 moves a group of students from the Hampshire neighborhood from Rivers Edge Elementary to Shady Grove Elementary but keeps them together at Holman Middle School (which Hampshire students currently attend). The result will cause Holman to be at 101 percent of its capacity next year, while Pocahontas Middle also would be near capacity. Board members discussed a desire to relieve crowding at both schools by creating new course offerings at Short Pump Middle School, which is projected to be at just 73 percent of capacity next year. Superintendent Pat Russo told the board that his staff would work to devise possibilities that might pull 200 or more students to Short Pump Middle from other middle schools. The board's vote concluded a rollercoaster final week of the redistricting process, which began Dec. 6 with more than 40 speakers addressing the board at a public hearing at Hermitage High School. There, a majority expressed outrage at a proposed "blended" option that had been designed late last month by school planning officials at Winston's request. She sought the option to learn whether portions of Option 1 and Option 2 could be combined and altered to use West Broad Street as a dividing line between school boundaries. Speakers were upset that the blended option would have pushed Gayton Elementary more than 200 students over capacity. They also complained that the option had not been subjected to scrutiny by the 24-member committee of community volunteers who designed the other options. Board members agreed and removed the blended option from consideration within several days. Last week, Winston said that school planners took undue criticism from the community for simply doing what she had asked. The fact that the blended option wasn't feasible, she said, quickly became obvious to everyone involved, prompting the board to kill it. "It didn't take a rocket scientist – even Diana Winston could figure out that it wasn't going to work," Winston said. "So it is a very open process." |

Travinia brings contemporary elegance to Willow Lawn
It was another win for Willow Lawn when Travinia Italian Kitchen and Wine Bar opened there six months ago, nestled in the heart of the re-made shopping center. The contemporary American Italian restaurant boasts 13 locations up and down the East Coast, with the Henrico location opening in August.
In the same week, I hit up Travinia twice, once for lunch and once for a late dinner. At lunchtime on a weekday, I was overwhelmed by the smell of garlic and by the number of working professionals in nice suits on their lunch breaks. When we first walked in, I was concerned our meal would be a little too pricey based on the décor – it's a really nice place. Luckily, the menu has a variety of options for every budget. > Read more.
Soak up the fun
'SpongeBob' movie energizes with wit, laughter
There's a ton of sugar in The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. Literal sugar, as SpongeBob Squarepants (Tom Kenny) and Patrick (Bill Fagerbakke) inhale their own weight in cotton candy and eat ice cream, one scoop per mouthful.
At one point we burrow into the brain of our boxy yellow hero and discover the inner workings of his brain: googly-eyed cakes and candies that giggle and sing. All of which is extremely appropriate for a film like Sponge Out of Water. Because not only is the movie sweet (the "awwww" kind of sweet), but it's the equivalent of a 30-candy bar sugar rush, zipping between ideas like a sponge on rocket skates.
The story under all this is really not that complicated. SpongeBob flips burgers at the Krusty Krab. > Read more.

Modena,I can't help much, Henry's father was John born abt. 1748, son of Adam and Margaretha Beck. I am still searching for his mother but believe she may have been a Sharp. I found a list naming Henry and his siblings in Preble Ohio in the estate papers of brother William, with all of the males recieving land back in Guilford county from a John at different times. I have not found an estate record of any kind in Guilford for John but John is listed as an heir to Adam in deeds. If there's any other questions I can answer let me know and I'll do my best.. Good Luck. Kerry Notify Administrator about this message?

Peanut Brittle
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 2 3/4 cups raw Spanish peanuts
- 1 ounce butter (1" x 1" cube)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp soda
- 1 tsp vanilla
This recipe takes quite a lot of counter space. Start by taking four cookie sheets and buttering them. Around each cookie sheet, spread aluminum foil (need about 4 square feet around each cookie sheet). In a heavy bottomed sauce pan, add the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Make sure not to get any on the sides of the pan. Heat on low until everything becomes liquid, then turn heat up to medium. Insert candy thermometer, and boil mixture until it reaches 240 degrees F. Slowly, add the peanuts. The mixture should NOT stop boiling. Continue heating until the mixture reaches 310 degrees F. Remove the pan from the stove. Toss in the cube of butter. Mix the soda, salt and vanilla, and pour them into the mixture. Mix it all up using a wooden spoon. Pour the mixture onto the 4 buttered cookie sheets. Get you fingers REAL buttery. As the peanut brittle cools along the edges, pull it out into thin strings. It usually takes two people to keep up with it. As soon as everything has cooled down, store the Peanut brittle in a sealed container. It is very hydrophillic and will stick together if you let it sit out.

Hybrid Theory is the debut album by the American rock band Linkin Park, released on October 24, 2000 through Warner Bros. Records. The album was a commercial success, having been certified Diamond for sales of over 10 million units in the United States alone as of 2010, peaking at number two on the Billboard 200, and also reaching high positions on other charts worldwide.
Recorded at NRG Recordings in North Hollywood, California, and produced by Don Gilmore, the album's lyrical themes deal with problems lead vocalist Chester Bennington experienced during his adolescence, including drug abuse and the constant fighting and divorce of his parents. Hybrid Theory takes its title from the previous name of the band as well as the concept of music theory and combining different styles.
Four singles were released from the album: "One Step Closer", "Crawling", "Papercut", and "In the End", all of them being responsible for launching Linkin Park into mainstream popularity. While "In the End" was the most successful of the four, all of the singles in the album remain some of the band's most successful songs to date. Although "Runaway", "Points of Authority", and "My December" from the special edition bonus disc album were not released as singles, they were minor hits on alternative rock radio stations thanks to the success of all of the band's singles and the album. At the 2002 Grammy Awards, Hybrid Theory was nominated for Best Rock Album. The album is listed in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. It was ranked #11 on Billboard's Hot 200 Albums of the Decade.[1] A special edition of Hybrid Theory was released March 11, 2002, a year and a half after its original pressing. Hybrid Theory has sold 27 million copies worldwide,[2] which makes it the best selling debut album of the 21st century.[3] Linkin Park performed the album in its entirety for the first time at the Download Festival on June 14, 2014.[4]
Linkin Park was founded in 1996 as the rap rock band, Xero: lead guitarist Brad Delson, vocalist and rhythm guitarist Mike Shinoda, drummer Rob Bourdon, turntablist Joe Hahn, lead vocalist Mark Wakefield and bassist Dave Farrell (who was not with the band during this point to tour with Tasty Snax). In 1999, after Wakefield's departure, lead vocalist Chester Bennington joined the five members Xero and the band was renamed to Hybrid Theory. Bennington's previous band, Grey Daze, had recently disbanded, so his lawyer recommended him to Jeff Blue, vice president of A&R coordination for Zomba, who at the time was seeking a lead vocalist for Xero. Blue sent Bennington two tapes of Xero's unreleased recordings — one with vocals by former Xero member Mark Wakefield, and the other with only the instrumental tracks — asking for his "interpretation of the songs".[5] Bennington wrote and recorded new vocals over the instrumentals and sent the tapes back to Blue.[6] As Delson recalls, "[Bennington] really was kind of the final piece of the puzzle [...] We didn't see anything close to his talent in anybody else."[7] After Bennington joined, the group first renamed itself to Hybrid Theory and released a self-titled EP. Legal complications with Welsh electronic music group Hybrid prompted a second name change, thus deciding on "Linkin Park".[5][8] Throughout 1999, Linkin Park was a regular act at the Los Angeles club, The Whisky.[9]
The music that would ultimately become the Hybrid Theory album was first produced by Linkin Park in 1999 as a nine-track demo tape. The band sent this tape to various recording companies and played forty-two different showcases for recording industry representatives, including performances for Los Angeles promoter and impresario, Mike Galaxy's showcase at The Gig on melrose.[6][10] However, they were initially turned down by most of the major labels and several independent record labels.[5] The band was signed by Warner Bros. Records in 1999, due in large part to the constant recommendations of Jeff Blue, who had joined the label after resigning from Zomba.[5][6][7]
Despite initial difficulties in finding a producer willing to take charge of the debut album of a newly signed band, Don Gilmore ultimately agreed to head up the project,[6] with Andy Wallace hired as the mixer. Recording sessions, which mostly involved re-recording the songs off the demo tape, began at NRG Recordings in North Hollywood, California in early 2000 and lasted four weeks.[6] Shinoda's rapping sections in most of the songs were significantly altered from the original, while most choruses remained largely unchanged.[11] Due to the absence of Dave Farrell and Kyle Christener, who took part in the 1999 extended play, the band hired Scott Koziol and Ian Hornbeck as stand-in bassists; Delson also played bass throughout most of the album. The Dust Brothers provided additional beats for the track "With You".
Bennington and Shinoda wrote the lyrics of Hybrid Theory based in part on early demos with Mark Wakefield.[5] Shinoda characterized the lyrics as interpretations of universal feelings, emotions, and experiences, and as "everyday emotions you talk about and think about."[12][13] Bennington later described the songwriting experience to Rolling Stone magazine in early 2002:
" | It's easy to fall into that thing — 'poor, poor me', that's where songs like 'Crawling' come from: I can't take myself. But that song is about taking responsibility for your actions. I don't say 'you' at any point. It's about how I'm the reason that I feel this way. There's something inside me that pulls me down. | " |
—Chester Bennington, Rolling Stone Magazine, 2002[5] |
The music of Hybrid Theory draws from diverse inspirations. Bennington's singing style is influenced by acts such as Depeche Mode and Stone Temple Pilots,[5] while the riffs and playing techniques of guitarist Brad Delson are modeled after Deftones, Guns N' Roses,[6] U2, and The Smiths.[5] Mike Shinoda's rapping, present in seven tracks, is very close to The Roots' style. The lyrical content of the songs primarily touches upon the problems that Bennington encountered during his childhood, including child abuse, constant and excessive drug and alcohol abuse,[5] the divorce of his parents, isolation,[14] disappointments, and the aftermath feelings of failed relationships.[15] Stylistically, the album has been described as nu metal,[16] rap metal[17] and alternative metal.[18]
The album eventually produced four singles. "One Step Closer", the album's second track and first single, was gradually recorded in increments after Linkin Park struggled with "Runaway", and features a guitar riff and electronic percussion in the introduction transitioning into a bridge with distortion-heavy guitars and aggressive drums.[19] It is also infamous for the "Shut up when I'm talkin' to you!" refrain screamed by Bennington one minute and 48 seconds into the song.[19][20] The music video for "One Step Closer" was shot in a Los Angeles subway[21] and became an instant hit, eventually receiving heavy rotation on MTV and other music television networks.[6] Stand-in bassist Scott Koziol is shown performing with the band in the video.[21]

The second single was "Crawling". Lyrically, the song focuses on Bennington's personal experiences with child abuse — the physical violence, the difficulty in breaking the cycle of abuse, and the subsequent loss of self-esteem.[citation needed] This concept is echoed in the music video, in which a girl (Katelyn Rosaasen) is abused by her father and can be seen in the beginning of the video with several visible bruises.[22]
"Papercut" was the album's third single, and its lyrics describe paranoia. The music video for "Papercut" features the band performing in a hallway opposite a completely dark room on the walls of which are scribbled the song's lyrics. Various supernatural themes are present in the video, and special effects are used to create eerie renditions, such as the "stretching" of Shinoda's fingers and the "melting" of Bourdon's face.[23]
The fourth single to come from Hybrid Theory was "In the End", which prominently features a signature piano riff performed by Shinoda. His rapping also dominates the verses of the song and is later joined by Bennington's vocals in the chorus. The song's concept is mainly based on one person's failure. It is considered symbolic of an ending relationship, however, it can also represent broken trust in a once long-lasting friendship. The music video for "In the End" was shot at various stops along the 2001 Ozzfest tour and was directed by Nathan "Karma" Cox and the band's DJ Joe Hahn, who would go on to direct many of Linkin Park's future videos (the two also directed the music video for "Papercut").[24][25] Although the background for the "In the End" video was filmed in a California desert, the band itself performed on a studio stage in Los Angeles, with prominent CGI effects and compositing being used to create the finished version. Performing on a studio stage allowed Hahn and Cox to set off water pipes above the stage near the end and drench the band.[citation needed] The music video won the Best Rock Video award at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards.[26]
"Points of Authority", the fourth track on the album, has its own music video that can be found on Frat Party at the Pankake Festival, the band's first DVD. Drummer Rob Bourdon describes the recording process of the song: "Brad wrote this riff, then went home. Mike decided to cut it up into different pieces and rearranged them on the computer [...] Brad had to learn his own part from the computer." Regarding the song, Delson praised Shinoda's skill, describing him as "a genius" and "Trent Reznor-talented".[5] On live performances of the song, when Shinoda raps the line, "Forfeit the game" verse for the third time in the song, Bennington would rap the verse along with Mike.
With Hybrid Theory being Linkin Park's first album, Mike Shinoda, who had worked as a graphic designer before becoming a professional musician, has stated that the band had looked through books for inspiration on how to present themselves for the first time. The result was a winged-soldier which Shinoda illustrated himself. According to Chester Bennington, the idea of the soldier with dragonfly wings was to describe the blending of hard and soft musical elements by the use of the jaded looks of the soldier and frail touches of the wings.[27] The cover also features scrambled lyrics of the album's songs within the background, though the lyrics of "One Step Closer" are the most prominent. A different version of the soldier can be seen on some of the album's singles. The cover of Reanimation, a remix album of Hybrid Theory, features a robotic version of the soldier that is similar in-appearance to a mobile suit Gundam, a line of robotic combat machines that are featured in the Gundam Wing anime series, which achieved a high popularity in the United States prior to the album's release.
Hybrid Theory was released in the United States on October 24, 2000 following radio airplay of "One Step Closer".[28] Hybrid Theory also sold 50,000 copies in its first week,[29] entering the U.S. Billboard 200 charts at #16 in late 2000,[30] and was certified gold by the RIAA five weeks after its release.[6] In 2001, Hybrid Theory sold 4.8 million copies in the United States, making it the best-selling album of the year,[31][32] and it was estimated that the album continued selling 100,000 copies per week in early 2002.[5] Throughout the following years, the album continued to sell at a fast pace and was certified diamond by the RIAA in 2005 for shipment of 10 million copies in the US.[33] As of June 2014, the album has sold 10,222,000 copies in the US.[34]
Four singles from the album were released throughout 2001 (though "Points of Authority" was released as a promotional single), three of which were chart successes on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks charts.[35] The single "In the End" was the highest charting single from the album, which peaked at #1 on the Modern Rock Tracks charts and appearing on charts worldwide. The success of "In the End" was partly responsible for Hybrid Theory's chart success; it reached #2 in the Billboard 200 in early 2002 behind Weathered by Creed and by J to tha L–O!: The Remixes by Jennifer Lopez. Hybrid Theory was the 11th best performing album on the Billboard 200 during the decade, the album reached the top ten in its 38th week on the chart and stayed in the top ten for 34 weeks. The album spent 105 weeks on the chart (roughly 2 years)and re entered at #167 in February 2011.[36] The album also charted in 11 other countries at fairly high positions and ranked among the top ten in the charts of the United Kingdom, Sweden, New Zealand, Austria, Finland, and Switzerland.[37] At the 44th Grammy Awards in 2002, Linkin Park won Best Hard Rock Performance for their song "Crawling". Additional nominations for Best New Artist and Best Rock Album lost out to Alicia Keys and All That You Can't Leave Behind by U2.[38]
Following the success of Hybrid Theory, Linkin Park received invitations to perform at various rock concerts and tours, including Ozzfest, the Family Values Tour, KROQ-FM's Almost Acoustic Christmas, and the band's self-created tour, Projekt Revolution, which was headlined by Linkin Park and featured other bands such as Cypress Hill and Adema.[5][7] During this time, Linkin Park reunited with their original bassist, Dave "Phoenix" Farrell.[5] The band kept an online journal on their official website throughout their 2001 and 2002 touring regime, in which each band member made a respective notation. Although the notes are no longer on their website, they are available on fansites.[39] Linkin Park played 324 shows in 2001.[5]
A two-disc special edition of Hybrid Theory was released on March 11, 2002 in Asia.[40] The first disc contains the original album, and the second disc features live performances of "Papercut", "Points of Authority", and "A Place for My Head" recorded at the Docklands Arena for BBC Radio 1. Also featured on the second disc are two studio tracks: "My December" — a song written after the release of Hybrid Theory for inclusion on KROQ's "Slim Santa" CD, and "High Voltage", a remix of the song originally on the Hybrid Theory EP.
On August 12, 2014, the band released a Live CD of the Download Festival 2014 performance where they played their debut album in its entirely, "Hybrid Theory: Live at Download Festival 2014".

Hybrid Theory received generally positive reviews from critics. Stephanie Dickison of PopMatters commented that the band was a "far more complex and talented group than the hard rock boy bands of late", and claimed that "they will continue to fascinate and challenge music's standard sounds."[20] Q magazine gave Hybrid Theory four out of five stars.[45] Robert Christgau of The Village Voice wrote that "the men don't know what the angry boys understand", and gave the album a "two-star honorable mention rating", citing "Papercut" and "Points of Authority" as highlights of the album.[41] Jenny Eliscu of Rolling Stone gave the album two and a half stars and commented that Hybrid Theory had "as much potency as albums by Limp Bizkit or Korn" and called it an album that "reflects the frustration of life".[46]
AllMusic writer William Ruhlmann said that "Linkin Park sounds like a Johnny-come-lately to an already overdone musical style" and called "One Step Closer" "a typical effort", referring to the lyrics of the song's chorus.[28] Johan Wippsson from Melodic praised Don Gilmore's production and described the albums as "destructive and angry but always with a well controlled melodic feeling all over."[43] NME's Noel Gardner commented that "otherwise damn fine soaring emo-crunchers like 'With You' and 'A Place for My Head' are pointlessly jazzed up with tokenistic scratching," giving the album a score of six out of ten.[49] Tyler Fisher at Sputnikmusic gave the album a 3.0/5, saying "Hybrid Theory stands as a defining mainstream album at the turn of the century, and for good reason.", but calling the guitar riffs "often bland and unoriginal".[47] Mike Ross of Jam! declares the albums as a combination of the best of hip hop and heavy metal. He goes on to state "...they can actually rap. They can actually crank out a ferocious, head-banging groove. They can write introspective lyrics with intelligence. It adds up to one of the finest new rap metal bands I've ever heard."[42]
Later in 2002, Linkin Park released an album entitled Reanimation. It included the songs of Hybrid Theory remixed and reinterpreted by nu metal and underground hip hop artists.[50] Contributors to the album included Black Thought, Pharoahe Monch, Jonathan Davis, Stephen Carpenter, and Aaron Lewis. The sound of later Linkin Park albums would involve experimentation with classical instruments such as strings and piano, both of which, along with the same elements of electronica from Hybrid Theory, are prominently included in the band's second studio album Meteora.[51] As Shinoda explains the difference in the sound between Hybrid Theory and Meteora: "That electronic element has always been there in the band – it's just that sometimes we bring it closer to the front."[52]
Hybrid Theory found itself in several "must have" lists that were compiled by various music publications, networks, and other media. In 2012, Rock Sound named Hybrid Theory the best modern classic album of the last 15 years. In 2013, Loudwire ranked it at #10 in its Best Hard Rock Debut Albums list.[53] Some of the more prominent of these lists to feature Hybrid Theory are shown below:[54]

Greetings from the Tampa Bay :) My name is Lea, and I am the author of Mother Baby Child ( http://motherbabychild.blogspot.com ). I started this blog to share my experience in having a baby just before my 1st son was about to turn 18 years old, as well as what life is like as a married mom after being single for so many years. I also blog about Christianity, baby and child stages, homeschooling, ADHD, Autism, Blog Marketing, etc. I share a lot on that blog during the non-summer seasons.
I also have a new blog ( http://burnfatloseweightgetskinnyfeelgreat.blogspot.com ) to accompany my Skinny Body business. I am working hard to complete the design of this new blog, so that I can provide valuable health lifestyle and weight loss information, as well as to share a solid opportunity for moms that want / need to make money by working at home.
I invite you to explore my blogs and provide your feedback. I have GFC on both of them.
Now that my baby is older, I have more time to meet the moms at this network and am really excited about this!
I look forward to reading your blog and networking with you here at MBC :)

The $7.2 billion of stimulus funding that is being spent to expand broadband access to rural and poor areas nationwide will have a resounding effect on residents' lives, businesses, health care and educational services. Yet it could end up hurting small telecom providers that rely on local community support as the new networks could entice larger telecoms to compete for those markets.

Prepare for an evening of gustatory and auditory delights at Bella Notte, featuring an Italian dinner theatre and silent auction. The event, sponsored by Central Washington University's student chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) will begin at 7:00 p.m. on May 3 at Gallery One, 408 Pearl St. in Ellensburg. There will be a fabulous Italian feast catered by Wineworks, as well as a brilliant program of Italian song, performed by CWU student vocalists. Tickets are $30, and may be purchased online at ww.wu.edu/tickets/single-events.
The many musical selections include Puccini's "Quando men vo" from La Boheme, sung by Brittany Stahley; Mozart's "Come scoglio" from Cosi fan Tutte, sung by Alix Deenin; and Rossini's "Ai capricci della sorte," from L'Italiana in Algeri, performed by Christian Reed and Marija Bosnar.
The proceeds of the event will help CWU vocal students pay for competition/travel fees for the annual NATS auditions. This year, the club will also donate funds to the CWU Opera Ensemble for their spring production.

My boyfriend suffered from Premature Ejaculation for years but cured it recently. Our sex life is now much better. See http://www.boostmypenis.com
Free Tip For Guys That I learnt from boostmypenis.com
I am going to put the steps in this Description.
1. Get a warm towel. NOT HOT! And place on your penis for 5 minutes.
2. Sit straight up - feet on the floor.
3. Lube up your penis and your right hand.
4. Make an OK sign with your left hand. Twist that over and grab the base of your cock with the O of your fingers. That hand will not move. It keeps the blood from flowing out of the penis.
5. With right hand make another OK. With the O do Not twist your hand. use in that direction. Now with the Left hand grabbing the bade of the cock Use the right hand to slowly do a milking technique as if you were milking the cow. DO NOT CAUSE YOURSELF AND DISCOMFORT!
ALSO DO NOT HAVE AN ERECT PENIS! It needs to be only semi erect. If you get erect stop until you have went half soft again.
6. After about 10 mins slap your penis on your leg about 20 times. This gets the blood flowing.
Repeat all the steps 3 to 4 times. You need to do this atleast 5 times a week for 30 mins a day.

Hello Geri,
I would need some specific information about your situation before I could offer any suggestions? Perhaps you could explain more why you believe you have not been having any active sex life. What has changed since before when your sex life was active and now when it is not active?

text: At the tender age of 17, Jonas B. Kelsall announced that when he graduated high school he wanted to become a Navy SEAL. His parents had to sign the enlistment papers because he was not yet 18. To ease his mother's apprehension, he promised that as soon as he finished BUDS he would go to college. His plan to become a SEAL came as a complete surprise to his parents, but he always was a person of his word, and so the papers were signed and Jonas entered the Navy.

There was a time, 15 or 20 years ago, when the New York Botanical Garden had taken on the rough edges of its surroundings in the Bronx. A rawness seemed to frame the grounds, and a mustiness had crept into the monumental Library Building. The grandeur of the garden's original design, 250 acres of remarkable plantings, including historic collections of conifers, lilacs and azaleas, seemed obscured. The garden drew lots of visitors, many from the immediate neighborhood, but it was valued as much for its open space as for its plants.
But in the past decade the physical aura of the New York Botanical Garden has become almost luminous. The horticulture, like the open space, has grown vastly more inviting. To walk through the garden now is to walk through a setting in which the plants seem almost to announce themselves. One by one, the garden's various sections have been restored as have the buildings and institutions that inhabit the garden grounds. In 1997 the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory reopened after a four-year restoration. A 12-acre children's garden was added in 1998. And yesterday marked the grand opening of the William and Lynda Steere Herbarium, which houses seven million plant specimens, as well as the LuEsther T. Mertz Library, which gives the garden's remarkable holdings a thoroughly modern new home within the original 1901 library building.
In a sense, this opening restores the balance between the New York Botanical Garden's scientific and public enterprises. The rejuvenation of the grounds and the conservatory could be felt by almost anybody who visited the garden in the past few years. The new library and herbarium will be of greatest use to scientists, scholars and professional gardeners.
As this opening suggests, the New York Botanical Garden is that rarest of entities, a place where the work of scientists overlaps directly with the pleasures of the public. In the new herbarium and the restored library, in the Haupt conservatory and in beds and plantings across the grounds, the New York Botanical Garden encompasses the history and the future of the botanical sciences, and it does so now in a manner that fully justifies its standing as one of the greatest institutions of its kind.

Crean making Indiana cool again
BLOOMINGTON, Ind.
Tom Crean's starting center sits in a sweat suit, pinned to the bench by the NCAA's eligibility process. His top returning scorer just pitched his protective walking boot. His best athlete is 11 months into an exhaustive rehab of his shattered left knee.
No wonder one computer formula had Crean's Indiana University team ranked outside the top 100. The Hoosiers have started this season with two 20-point victories, but the CIA can't find anybody prepared to pick them higher than eighth in the formidable Big Ten.
Sign up!
Get the scoop on Signing Day from Scout.com.Now it was 12:40 p.m. on Nov. 10, and Crean was in his office, primed to take the call he'd been awaiting since April 2, 2008, the day he left Marquette for Indiana:
At 1:05 that day, Cody Zeller, a consensus top-20 Class of 2011 recruit from Washington, Indiana, a hoops-obsessed town about 65 miles southwest of Bloomington, was having his press conference to announce his college choice.
Zeller is a 6-10 forward with double-double potential. He would make three calls. One to Roy Williams of North Carolina, who coaches Cody's older brother, Tyler, and had made at least a half-dozen trips to woo him. One to Brad Stevens, who has everybody convinced more Sweet 16s and Final Fours are coming to Butler.
And one to Crean, who needed Zeller the way Tom Izzo once needed Mateen Cleaves or Matt Painter needed Robbie Hummel -- a symbol it was cool to sign with the home-state university again.
Crean answered his phone at 12:40. Zeller spoke.
"Unfortunately I have to call a couple of coaches who I really like and tell them that I'm not coming," Zeller said.
Crean inhaled, his stomach plunging into complete somersault mode.
"But this is my third call and I want to play at Indiana," Zeller said.
"I didn't know what to say," Crean said.
"He was pretty excited," said Zeller. "He didn't say anything at first."
No need for Crean to say another word. The rest of the basketball world is saying it for him. Within minutes, the coach received congratulatory text messages from Damon Bailey, Calbert Cheaney, Kent Benson, Randy Wittman, Dane Fife and a string of other former Bob Knight players with Final Four pedigrees. Bill Polian of the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh, Crean's brother-in-law, called with congratulations. One Indiana recruiting web site registered more than 1 million page views that day.
That reflected the percolating adrenaline but, more importantly, it was a sign of unity behind Crean from an Indiana old guard that has been fractured since Knight was fired in 2000.
"Cody Zeller signing with Indiana means two things," said Dan Dakich, a former IU player and coach who now hosts a radio show in Indianapolis.
"It means they're getting a really good player who fits the way Tom likes to play. He's a really good defensive rebounder who's a great pick-and-pop guy.
"But it also means that it's OK for really good players to go to Indiana again. That's important because there are a lot of really, really good players in the sophomore, freshman and eighth-grade classes in the state.

"For every coach, there's usually that one guy you just have to get, the way Coach Knight had to get Quinn Buckner or Isiah Thomas. Cody Zeller was that kind of guy for Tom."
Some of those really, really good in-state players have already told Crean that help is on the way. Forward Hanner Perea, a five-star, top-10 prospect, and guard Ron Patterson, a top-75 recruit, are orally committed with 7-footer Peter Jurkin in the 2012 class. Trey Lyles and James Blackmon Jr., a pair of top-25 freshmen, have also told Crean they are coming to Indiana.
"The hardest thing to do is get that first olive out of the jar," said former football coach Jack Harbaugh, Crean's father-in-law. "You get that first one and the rest come out a lot easier."
Little has come easily at Indiana lately. The Hoosiers have won 16 of 62 games the last two seasons as Crean started cleansing the toxic residue of the Kelvin Sampson era, one that resulted in NCAA probation and a complete roster overhaul.
But the truth is that it hasn't been absolutely cool to sign with Indiana for nearly two decades, including the last seven seasons of the Knight Era. Knight, the game's winningest coach, won his last Big Ten title in 1993 and won four games in his last seven NCAA tournaments in Bloomington.
Eric Montross (North Carolina) and Jason Gardner (Arizona) were in-state guys who chose not to play for Knight, just as Mike Davis whiffed on Greg Oden and Mike Conley (Ohio State), Josh McRoberts (Duke) and Luke Harangody (Notre Dame).
Crean is rebuilding the roster -- and the brand. He is preaching a commitment to defense, frenetic energy and team play.
Crean has three nice pieces in forward Christian Watford and guards Verdell Jones Jr. and Maurice Creek, although Creek will need time to regain the explosiveness in his surgically repaired left knee.
A year ago Indiana ranked 10th in the Big Ten in defensive field-goal percentage at 44.4 percent. Indiana's first two opponents, Florida Gulf Coast and Wright State, have made only 33.3 percent of their shots. That's the first stat to monitor.
But to get back to .500 -- or beyond -- this season, Indiana will need the NCAA to clear Guy-Marc Michel. He is a 7-foot-1 center and junior-college transfer whose experience playing with a club team in France is being examined.
"We're all praying for Guy to get eligible," said wing Victor Oladipo, one of Crean's freshman. "But people are starting to believe that Indiana is changing and changing for the better. That's what we all came here to do and that's what we're going to do."

FlipPix Jigsaw - San Francisco
By GabySoft
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
An old Japanese logic puzzle takes on a new look with FlipPix Jigsaw! Touch tiles to paint them or break them to form colorful components of familiar landmarks. The goal is to use logic to determine which tiles should be filled to reveal a hidden picture.
FlipPix Jigsaw provides a new twist to FlipPix Art puzzles. Each of the individual puzzles forms a piece of a larger picture. After the puzzles are solved, the pieces of the picture must then be rearranged to form the final image.
FlipPix Jigsaw San Francisco contains 8 iconic scenes of San Francisco:
- The Golden Gate Bridge
- The Palace Of Fine Arts
- Coit Tower
- Alcatraz
- Cable Cars
- Pier 39
- Lombard Street
- Row Houses
FlipPix Jigsaw has 85 puzzles in three sizes for a total of 255 puzzles, ranging from very easy to quite challenging levels of play.
FlipPix Jigsaw is designed specifically for tablet devices and incorporates a type of logic puzzle often referred to as a nonogram or griddler.
A short tutorial on the basics of the game is included.
