The Greenburgh Nature Center in Scarsdale, NY is a 33-acre nature preserve that serves as both a wildlife refuge and environmental educational center. The center holds fun family activities during each season of the year, from maple sugaring in early spring to a holiday train show in December.
Once farmland, the nature center was a family estate for several decades before it was bought by the Town of Greenburgh in 1975 and developed as a nonprofit wildlife and nature preserve with a focus on education.
Just off Central Avenue, on a busy strip of road in Scarsdale that boasts shopping malls, businesses, and restaurants, lies 33 acres of green oasis known as the Greenburgh Nature Center.
Founded as a nonprofit in 1975, the GNC serves as both a wildlife refuge and an educational center that works to promote the appreciation and understanding of nature and the environment, with a focus on hands-on learning activities.
The GNC's grounds include outdoor fun in the form of a nature-themed playground, birds of prey aviary, working beehives, organic garden, barnyard, pond, and nature trails, as well a stone manor house that has a rotating art exhibit, a discovery room with interactive exhibits for kids, and a live animal museum featuring more than 100 critters—from bugs and snakes to ferrets and chinchillas. There's also a greenhouse with botanical exhibits and a gift shop on the premises.
The center hosts educational programs with a nature theme during every season, including about 150 classes for school groups (throughout the NYC area) during the week and close to 70 different public events on weekends.
Because it's a nonprofit, the center relies on volunteers of all ages to help out with gardening, clearing trails, and a variety of other projects.
In early March, the center hosts an annual Maple Sugaring Party to celebrate the peak of maple sugaring season and the end of winter. Families can help collect sap, make maple-themed treats and crafts, and learn how maple sugaring was done by Native and colonial Americans.
GNC's Earth Day/Arbor Day Celebration, typically held the Sunday after Earth Day, features a tree planting ceremony, fun activities that teach visitors about the environment, and opportunities for volunteers to help clean up the grounds and prepare them for spring.
The center hosts a Spring Celebration and Egg Hunt the Sunday before Easter. Kids venture into the woods to collect eggs, which they can trade in for Easter treats (the hunt is split into age categories so tiny tots don't get trampled by the bigger kids). And the whole family can enjoy spring-themed crafts and activities throughout the day.
The newest staple in GNC's calendar is a Farm to Table Fundraiser in mid-May, when area restaurants come together to prepare locally sourced food and drink to support the center.
From late June through early September, families can stop by the grounds for a Storywalk. A nature-themed story is chosen, and pages of the book are mounted on trees along the center's trails, so little ones and parents can read together while taking a walk through the woods.
The popular Butterfly Exhibit, now held outside in the meadow, kicks off in late June and stays on view through early August. The exhibit features several kinds of native butterflies, all in different stages of metamorphosis.
During the Harvest Party in early September, visitors can watch the beekeepers extract honey from the hives, learn about gardening, and get hands-on with the produce grown in the GNC's organic patch.
In October, stop by for the Fall Festival to build scarecrows, carve and paint pumpkins, and make apple cider.
Kids ages 10 and younger are invited to wear their costumes to the GNC in late October for the Scarecrow and Pumpkins Parade featuring Halloween-themed crafts, activities, and nature walks.
Just before Thanksgiving, young children can participate in a Turkey Scavenger Hunt through the woods, and the year rounds out with a Holiday Train Show in December where you can see miniature model trains chug along among mini replicas of area landmarks.
The center also hosts camps and special programs for kids during all school breaks, and birthday parties are offered throughout the year.
Address: 99 Dromore Road (off Central Avenue), Scarsdale
Hours: Grounds are open daily, dawn to dusk. Indoor exhibits: 9:30am-4:30pm weekdays (closed Friday); 10am-4:30pm weekends.
Admission: $7; $6 seniors and students; $5 children ages 2-12; free for children younger than 2 and for members
For more information: 914-723-3470 or greenburghnaturecenter.org

When we're sleeping, our bodies do everything they can to stay asleep. So rather than waking us up, outside stimuli—smells, sounds, sensations—often become woven into our dream narratives. "The dreaming mind has this really cool way of seemingly flawlessly incorporating the outside interference into the storyline of the dream," explains Lauri Loewenberg, a certified dream analyst and member of the International Association for the Study of Dreams.
Which means that there are a lot of influences that can shape how your dreams play out. Just keep in mind that your natural dreams, i.e. those that aren't at the mercy of what's happening around you in the real world, help you process your thoughts and feelings about your day. Too much interference, Loewenberg says, "can be disruptive to the message your dreaming mind is trying to give you."
If you've ever incorporated the sound of your alarm clock into your dream—maybe it became a fire alarm or a whistle—you know that real-life sounds can find their way into your dreams' storylines. An app even monitors sleep and plays sounds specifically designed to evoke certain dreams. Loewenberg attests that soundtracks can influence the content of your dreams, and while she doesn't recommend making a habit out of this—again, it interferes with the cognitive work your dreams are meant to accomplish—she says that "it's okay, once in a while, if you want to influence a really awesome dream, to play your favorite album quietly while you sleep. Or maybe the sound of the ocean, if you want to dream about a romp on the beach with Ashton Kutcher." For a restful sleep, though, she recommends white noise: It drowns out the other sounds around you and should improve your sleep, allowing for organic dreaming.
In a small 2008 study, German researchers introduced either a positive smell (roses) or a negative smell (rotten eggs) when women entered rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep—a prime time for dreaming. When the women were woken up, they were asked about what they'd dreamt. Smelling roses yielded positive dreams, while smelling eggs yielded negative dreams. Loewenberg explains that if you smell flowers, chocolate or perfume when you're awake, it tends to evoke positive emotions, so it makes sense that the dream would follow a similar pattern. But there's a biological explanation, too: "The limbic system part of the brain that controls the ability to receive smell also receives emotions," she says.
Sleeping position
Okay, here it gets a little wacky: A recent study out of Hong Kong found that sleeping on your stomach increases the chances you'll have a sexual dream—or a dream about being persecuted. The examples of themes mentioned in the study include "having a sexual relationship with a big wheel or celebrity," "being smothered, unable to breathe," and "being tied, unable to move." Which all makes sense: When you're on your stomach, your genitals are in contact with the bed—i.e., they're stimulated—and it's harder to breathe, just like when you're having sex…or being suffocated. One more tidbit about sleeping position: The best way to remember your dreams is to stay in the same position you were in when you woke up. "That's really all it takes to be able to start remembering your dreams," says Loewenberg. "Don't move—stay put." And if you wake up to go to the bathroom and want to re-enter the dream you were in the middle of, try getting right back into the position you were sleeping in before getting up.
Your state of mind
Not surprisingly, your mental state—not just what happens to you and around you—has a huge impact on your dreams. Depression, for example, can influence your dreams' color palettes. "I've found in my research that if you have a dream that's in black and white or where the colors are muted or it's in shades of gray, that can be a symbol for depression," Loewenberg says. (Depression, however, also suppresses dream recall.) Loewenberg explains that the weather patterns you dream about are connected to your mind frame, too: Anxiety brings tornadoes, which represent "spinning out of control"; a clear, calm mind tends to dream of sunny days; and depression and sadness can bring rain. "Weather in dreams is very much connected to your emotions in real life," she says.
Ever wonder why you're haunted by pizza and ice cream in your dreams when you're trying to lose weight? "Whenever you quit something—drinking or smoking or even just cookies—you're going to dream about it," Loewenberg says. That is, if you diet or cut out sugar, your dreams are likely to feature a delectable buffet of treats. People who quit smoking tend to have dreams about smoking for the first couple of years afterward stopping the harmful habit—and some are visited infrequently by such dreams even 30 years later, Loewenberg says.
Drugs and vitamins
There's a whole host of ways in which pharmaceuticals can influence your dreams. "A lot of prescription meds affect REM and can really make your dreams crazy," Loewenberg says. Nicorette, for example, tends to give people intensely vivid dreams. Drugs can also affect dream recall: Since depression makes you less likely to remember your dreams, anti-depressants can counteract that effect. Vitamin B6 has also been shown to help people remember their dreams more vividly and easily.

Tobacco Products
Reporting Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents in Tobacco Products and Tobacco Smoke Under Section 904(a)(3) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
March 2012
This document, when finalized, will provide guidance on how companies can comply with the requirement to report on the quantities of harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs) in tobacco products.
FDA recognizes that industry may be unable to meet the deadline due to current testing limitations. In recognition of this, the draft guidance identifies 20 HPHCs from the full list of 93 HPHCs, for which testing methods are well established and widely available. FDA is currently exercising enforcement discretion to require reporting about these 20 constituents.
The abbreviated list of 20 HPHCs is included in the draft guidance and listed below.
Table 1. Abbreviated List of Harmful and Potentially Harmful Constituents
HPHCs in Cigarette Smoke | HPHCs in Smokeless Tobacco | |
Acetaldehyde | Acetaldehyde | Ammonia |
Acrolein | Arsenic | Arsenic |
Acrylonitrile | Benzo[a]pyrene | Cadmium |
4-Aminobiphenyl | Cadmium | Nicotine (total) |
1-Aminonaphthalene | Crotonaldehyde | NNK* |
2-Aminonaphthalene | Formaldehyde | NNN** |
Ammonia | Nicotine (total and free) | |
Benzene | NNK* | |
Benzo[a]pyrene | NNN** | |
1,3-Butadiene | | |
Carbon monoxide | | |
Crotonaldehyde | | |
Formaldehyde | | |
Isoprene | | |
Nicotine (total) | | |
Toluene | | |
1 - Roll-your-own tobacco is defined in section 900(15) of the FD&C Act to mean "any tobacco product which, because of its appearance, type, packaging, or labeling, is suitable for use and likely to be offered to, or purchased by, consumers as tobacco for making cigarettes." The term cigarette filler is not defined in the FD&C Act. For purposes of this draft guidance, we intend cigarette filler to mean the cut, ground, powdered, or leaf tobacco that is a component of a cigarette.
** N-nitrosonornicotine

Dopamine signaling is implicated in reinforcement learning, but the neural substrates targeted by dopamine are poorly understood. We bypassed dopamine signaling itself and tested how optogenetic activation of dopamine D1 or D2 receptor–expressing striatal projection neurons influenced reinforcement learning in mice. Stimulating D1 receptor–expressing neurons induced persistent reinforcement, whereas stimulating D2 receptor–expressing neurons induced transient punishment, indicating that activation of these circuits is sufficient to modify the probability of performing future actions.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — A northeastern Indiana fire official says a steel plant worker in Fort Wayne was severely injured when his armed was crushed in a machine press.
Deputy Fort Wayne Fire Chief Mark Nelson says the man's arm became caught Monday morning in the press at the Valbruna Slater Stainless plant. He tells The Journal Gazette (http://bit.ly/VOSwxW ) the man's arm was nearly amputated by the machine and he may lose his arm.
When medics and firefighters arrived at the plant the man had been freed from the press, but his clothing was still tangled in the machinery. Authorities did not release the man's name.
Valbruna Slater Stainless makes steel bars for use in airplane landing gear, jet engines and other products.

In a sign of what the nation might hope is the start of a continuing trend, Colorado became the first Western state to adopt tougher gun control laws with the recent signing of legislation.
The measure, which is similar to what Vermont legislators were asked to consider but decided not to tackle this year, bans magazines for automatic assault-style weapons that hold more than 15 rounds and requires background checks made online or through private parties (like gun shows).
Here's another reason a tax on carbon dioxide emissions (a carbon tax) makes good economic sense: According to a study done for the International Monetary Fund, governments throughout the world are subsizing cheap energy to the detriment of the world economy (not just the environment) to the tune of $2 trillion in 2011.
In the ongoing budget battle in Montpelier, Gov. Peter Shumlin's pitch to avoid higher taxes resonates with the average Vermont voter and Main Street businesses, while Speaker of the House Shap Smith has the political muscle of the House (and the support of a host of lobbying groups representing the low-income population) on his side to support a package of tax increases to balance the budget.
House Speaker Shap Smith and Gov. Peter Shumlin are as politically attuned to each other's positions as any member of the same party could hope for. And in the governor's first term, the two worked well together to balance budgets in tough times and make significant progress on steps toward health care reform, pro-business incentives and education.
Why, then, is there such a rift over balancing this year's budget? In particular over the Earned Income Tax Credit program, and the House's insistence to raise broad-based taxes on the rich?

With the crossover deadline for legislation coming due last Friday, it's appropriate to briefly review a few of the more significant measures that have been drafted, discussed and passed — starting with the Senate.
At Middlebury's Town Meeting, the one surprise came in the spur-of-the-moment discussion over the economic viability of the town's newly hired business development director. In what started out as an introduction of the new director, Jamie Goucher, the conversation quickly turned to how the director's performance would be measured and how committed the stakeholders were to funding the position over the first five years and thereafter. The concern was that taxpayers would be funding the position after the year 2017.
In today's Addison Independent, we feature six-plus pages of town-by-town election coverage that previews the highlights of Town Meeting Day for each of the county's 23 towns. We also cover and report the most important budgets — town and school districts — and the most prominent elections on the front page and main news pages in section A.

Super fun!
It sounds like you guys are having a really fun time. That's awesome. I can't wait to hear all about it when you get home. You better be taking tons of pictures!!!
Your Loving Cousin,
"The Hills" of Connemara
Trip Start
May 21, 2007
Trip End
Jun 01, 2007
This led us down (zoom into the map to see what the following means) N59 to R341, where we had a coffee and toured the grounds of Ballynahinch Castle, which is all about fishing and really neat.
Then it was back to N59 up through Clifden, and into Moyard. Here we stopped at Cottage Handcrafts, where Elisa got a Claddagh necklace and Josh finally got his much-wanted tweed cap (thanks Ken!). We proceeded to Connemara National Park, then left because living in the northwest makes us unimpressed with beautiful things, hehe.
We parked in the "car park" of Kylemore Abby and had a picnic that included some store-bought Irish soda bread. Hmmm.
The view was amazing, but we didn't bother with the tour, as it was €12 each and our guide book said it's a letdown for the price. After lunch we bounced on peat bogs... so cool!
We stood 15 feet apart and one of us jumped, and the other could not only feel it, but we could see the vibration moving across the ground! Like Jello! We then headed down R344, through the hills.
It was so beautiful, and we saw so many sheep today. There was a be-speckled lamb on the road that not only bounced and hopped but literally jumped into the air! Elisa wanted to kidnap him. Josh wanted him for lunch.
We returned to the B&B for coffee and now we're updating our blog. Tonight we'll probably eat something. And drink more Guinness.
Tomorrow we begin moving south, next stop being Dingle town, with lots to see along the way. Stay tuned!

COLUMBIA — Hybrid and electric car owners enjoy high mileage rates and reduced carbon emissions, but the firefighters have to assess what type of vehicle they are dealing with at accident scenes.*
Fifty-seven representatives of nearly 50 local fire departments and first-response units met Saturday in the MU Student Center to attend an Electric Vehicle Safety Training project presented by the National Fire Protection Association and the MU Fire and Rescue Training Institute.
The course was designed to give representatives training and safety information that they could use to teach local staff about how to correctly respond to traffic accidents involving electric and hybrid cars.
In conjunction with the courses, which are scheduled to be conducted in all 50 states within the next year, the MU Fire and Rescue Training Institute is developing electric and hybrid vehicle training materials for national distribution. These materials, called Electric Field Guides, are being compiled with the help of the MU College of Engineering Electric Car Club.
The guides were designed to be used by first responders at the scene of accidents. They will contain easy-to-reference information on how to identify an electric or hybrid vehicle, as well as technical information on how to properly disable the high voltage circuit, which could pose a danger to first responders and accident victims.
Assistant Director Kevin Zumwalt of the Fire and Rescue Training Institute said the goal is to produce the field guides in three formats: print, which will be published nationally; electronic, which can be accessed by mobile data terminals on fire engines; and as downloadable PDF files online.
The courses being conducted nationally were funded by a $4.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.
As hybrid and electric cars become more commonplace, the information offered Saturday will "become a normal course of training" for fire and rescue crews, Electric Vehicle Safety Instructor, Jason Emery, said.
Saturday's training included three essential safety steps for first responders: identifying an electric or hybrid vehicle involved in an accident, immobilizing the vehicle and disabling the high voltage circuit connected to the car's power supply.
A Chevrolet Volt and Toyota Prius were on the site Saturday to demonstrate some of the specific design issues Missouri first responders would be encountering between different makes and models of electric cars. These differences will also be detailed in the Electric Field Guides produced by the institute.
While Emery said most of the feedback from training courses has been positive, there were a few discontented voices from firefighters at Saturday's seminar when they were told they would not be allowed to crash the model vehicles for some real hands-on training.

Newcastle United Under-18 0 Aston Villa Under-18 1 (Villa win 2-1 on aggregate)
Newcastle United Under-18 0 Aston Villa Under-18 1 (Villa win 2-1 on aggregate) Young Magpies hopes dashed as Villa go through IT'S 25 years since Newcastle United last won the FA Youth Cup and the wait goes on after Aston Villa emerged from St James' Park with a place in the final last night. A bizarre first-half winner from Villa's Connor Taylor proved the difference over the two legs and despite enjoying plenty of possession, Newcastle rarely tested goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist. Their hopes weren't helped by Phil Airey's sending off for his second caution 14 minutes from time. First team boss Chris Hughton, whose side could be confirmed as the Championship title winners later today without kicking a ball, was among the near 5,000- strong crowd to witness the defeat, along with owner Mike Ashley and Derek Llambias. But Newcastle found a final spot beyond them with Villa now facing Chelsea for the Youth Cup. The best two chances of the first half fell to Newcastle but Airey was denied on both occasions. Airey, who scored in the first leg, headed over just before the quarter hour and also saw a shot blocked by defender Danny Devine. Plenty of neat passing, however, was not enough to separate the teams and then Newcastle Academy boss' Joe Joyce's side had it all to do when Villa opened the scoring 11 minutes before half-time. There was more than an element of fortune about it. Taylor headed goalwards from Samir Carruthers' centre, and goalkeeper Jak Alnwick's dived to his right but the push only turned the ball on to the post and over the line. An injury, which looked serious after a challenge from Carruthers, brought an end to Newcastle captain Jeff Henderson's semi-final, but his departure led to a double change that brought fresh impetus to the home team. Haris Vuckic, brought on along with full-back Patrick Nzuzi, was quick to make an impression. The Slovenian, being watched by Chelsea, struck low from distance and goalkeeper Benjamin Siegrist failed to gather. Newcastle, however, failed to make the most of the loose ball. On the hour mark the Newcastle crowd must have feared it was not going to be their night when Samuel Ameobi's near post header from Samuel Adjei's corner was cleared before the latter's left foot curler shaved the top of the bar. But when Airey was shown his second yellow for stamping on Carruthers, the chances of a comeback receded. Match facts Goals: Taylor (34, 0-1) Bookings: Dummett (43, foul); Airey (45, foul) Sent off: Airey (76, second bookable offence) Referee: Gary Sutton (Lincoln) 6 Attendance: 4, 959 Entertainment: *** NEWCASTLE UNITED (4-5-1): Alnwick 6; Tavernier 7, Henderson 7 (Nzuzi 46, 6), Folan 7 (McGorrigan 90), DUMMETT 8; Ameobi 6, McDermott 6 (Vuckic 46, 7), Inman 6, Newton 6, Adjei 6; Airey 6. Subs (not used): Robinson, Taylor. ASTON VILLA (4-4-2): Siegrist 7; Berry 7, Williams 7, Devine 7, Deeney 7; Simmonds 6, Blythe 6, CARRUTHERS 8, Roberts 6 (Nelson-Addy 31, 6); Taylor 6, Poyser 6 (Cameron 90). Subs (not used): Barrett, Dyer, Johnson. MAN OF THE MATCH: Samir Carruthers Newcastle fans might not like it, but he was a menace from start to finish.

Amusingly this has all further tightened the panty knots of some of Global Underground's most purist fans. For most of its existence, the GU sound was readily identifiable — deep, and often dubby, but firmly falling into the "progressive house" rubric in clean, linear mixes. But earlier this year, with Global Underground 032: Mexico City, Adam Freeland swiveled the concept 180 degrees, with an astonishing mixup of everything from filthy French hipster house to Norwegian shoegaze rock. It was, then, a good predecessor for Layo and Bushwacka!, who continued to strain the brand into further oddball turf. Still, it's a little unclear what it all has to do with Brazil.
"The Rio part has got nothing at all whatsoever to do with the music, in terms of the actual music on the CD," Benjamin concedes. Rather it's more about an energy thing, capturing a vibe that would go down well in Brazil, where the two DJs often perform both as a duo and solo. (Benjamin is next headed down in January for a three-week stint at the Santa Catarina island club Warung).
"They're really into music, into the stuff we play. We've been going there for 10 years," says Benjamin. "On a personal level, I've flown there 36 times in the last 10 years. We've got a strong connection with the kind of Latino end of the culture there as well. Italy, Spain, South America — all Latin places. It's the spirit of the culture, the body language. It's really warm; it's really friendly. I guess we really vibe off it a lot." Saturday, then, everyone should feel right at home.

First lady, Bill Clinton herald Maya Angelou as force in history
Published on Jun 8, 2014 7:19 AM
WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina (REUTERS) – First lady Michelle Obama remembered poet, author and civil rights champion Maya Angelou on Saturday as a dominant cultural force who taught black women and people of all races to celebrate their own worth and beauty.
Mrs Obama credited the writer's works, including her pioneering 1969 autobiography I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, with helping carry a young black girl from the South Side of Chicago to the White House.
"She celebrated black women's beauty like no one ever had before," Mrs Obama said to more than 2,000 people at Angelou's private memorial service in North Carolina.
"She told us our worth had nothing to do with what the world might say."

Nothing cheetos all in the bedsheets
Cheetos all in bedsheets
Price. Reservations were correct.
Slow check in. Pool closed. Couch cushions very worn. Bed too firm. Typical to below average condition.
New hotel.
Chairs for the desk were terrible. Would not roll. Tried two different. Must be due to the sculptured carpet.....
The room was cleaned
Bed was uncomfortable dogs barking desk person could tell us about our bill or take our discount
convenient location, price, friendly staff, pet friendly. comfortable bed
While the room looked immaculate upon arrival (and was, for the most part) I happened to look under the edge of the bed, and noted heavy dust. Breakfast consisted of dry cereal, packaged sweet rolls, no milk was available for cereal and TEPID coffee
Room was very clean, manager very courteous, easy to find, quiet even though close to highway.
Bathroom very small, bed linens clean but faded and outdated, pillows were not very soft.
IT was very clean, and very quiet, even though it is on a major street. I never heard anyone walking down the hall or steps...For an older hotel, it is worth the money..
Only issue I had, was cheap toilet paper(my pet peeve)otherwise it was a good experience.
usually don't get room with good A/C but room stayed nice and cold.
swimming pool was not clean, hot tub did not work.
staff was helpful, hotel extremely clean
computer system was slow
everything was wonderful,clean,neat
I prefer real eggs
There was friendly service.
The common spaces were cramped especially at breakfast.
Good location.
Put us in a smoking room. Smell was terrible. Manager said there were no other rooms. We refused to stay.
Early coffee at 5:30. Cookies in the afternoon. Comfortable bed with lots of pillows. Coffee maker and refrigerator in rm.
not much choice in Brownwood. Staff seemed to care but were less than organized
room smelled like an ashtray even though it was listed non-smoking. A/C did not work very well. Bathroom showing wear. Breakfast hours said they opened at 6AM but were never ready and poorly stocked
How nice the front counter people weree
No coffee pot in room
The room was clean and the managers were nice people.
The WiFi didn't work most of the time. Internet access is very important to us. So, that was a let down there was no internet. The continental breakfast could have been better as well. Very limited on choices.
Here's why:
We're not the seller At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time? Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us Please send us an email and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

No idea how I set this up
Image text transcribed for accessibility: Design a combinational circuit that implements an "increment by 1" function. Specifically, it takes as input a decimal digit X (represented using 4 bit BCD X3X2X1X0) and outputs a decimal digit Y (in BCD Y3Y2Y1Y0) equal to X + 1. For an input of X = 9 (=1001), let the output roll back to Y = 0 (= 0000). Find the 4 functions in simplest SOP or POS form. You should assume that input combinations of 10 through 15 do not occur.

CPI functionaries swept the Kadapa Collectorate road and staged a dharna before the Collectorate holding brooms up on Wednesday deploring inaction to curb mosquito menace. Though district Collector K.

Kim thinks his words were adorable — do you agree?
Kris Humphries seemed to give a serious diss to his bride-to-be Kim Kardashian by claiming his mother is the most beautiful girl in the world! Now Kim is speaking out — and she loves him for it!
Kris, 26, was walking with Kim, 30, when he was asked the question on July 28 and responded, "Second most beautiful. [Number one is] my mom!," TMZ reports.
When asked for her thoughts on this near-diss, Kim actually defended her man, TMZ also reports.
"It was definitely cool for him to say," she said. "I thought it was sweet."
What do you think, HollywoodLifers — do you agree with Kim or is Kris being too much of a mama's boy?

Jags, Justin Blackmon agree
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Jacksonville first-round pick Justin Blackmon agreed to terms Monday with the Jaguars.
Kuharsky: Time To Get Up To Speed
Preparing newly signed Justin Blackmon should be a deliberate process, aimed at having him ready for the opener, Paul Kuharsky writes. Blog
The Oklahoma State wide receiver is the last first-round pick to reach a deal. He was chosen fifth overall by the Jaguars.
The contract will be worth about $18.5 million for four years, which is the maximum for a fifth pick under the NFL's rookie wage system.
Blackmon, who missed the first 11 days of training camp, was arrested in Stillwater, Okla., on June 3 and charged with aggravated DUI when he registered a .24 alcohol level, three times the legal limit. He later apologized and indicated he would stop drinking. Blackmon pleaded guilty at his court hearing July 24.
Blackmon isn't likely to play in the Jaguars' first preseason game Friday against the New York Giants. New rules call for a player to have three days of non-contact work before he's allowed to put on full pads.
The team said he would sign the deal Monday night or Tuesday morning.

Rate Dr. Rod J. Rohrich
Dr. Rod J. Rohrich's Ratings
Dr. Rohrich is the quintessential expert on plastic and cosmetic surgery! My appointment went smoothly and treatment was highly effective for my facial concerns. I would definitely recommend Dr. Rohrich for any one seeking a caring and knowledgeable doctor for their plastic surgery needs.

I trust Dr. Rohrich. I experienced a prior disfiguring procedure from an incompetent plastic surgeon 15 years ago. Dr. Rohrich not only corrected the disfigurement but improved the results beyond my expectations. He gives you the results you expect. He is professional, he honesty tells you the truth and then encourages you to study all your options. He is committed to excellence, is exceedingly experienced in all areas of plastic surgery and most important he is compassionate. He truly is an exceptional plastic surgeon. His staff are well trained and dedicated to address every aspect of your needs and comfort. It has been a joy to work with Dr. Rohrich to attain my very successful results.

I saw Dr. Rohrich for a breast augmentation and have been back to him for other non-surgical cosmetic procedures (Botox/Juvederm). I have been more than pleased with my results from everything that he has done for me. My experience with Dr. Rohrich and his staff were more than I expected. Dr. Rohrich is easy to speak with and honest in helping me to realize my goals. He maintains a professional relationship yet makes you feel comfortable. He listens to his patients and works to help you achieve the best possible outcome that leaves you natural looking and improved. My surgical procedure was without complications and the healing and end results have been outstanding. He and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and happy to answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering cosmetic surgery/procedures. He has a true art and expertise in this area.

I chose Dr Rohrich as my plastic surgeon to perform a tummy tuck and liposuction. He is an amazing surgeon with the experience and expertise that made my decision to have surgery with him a no-brainer. He provided me with detailed information about my procedure. I was truly pleased with the attention and care that I received, but mostly with the wonderful results! I have referred so many of my friends to him!

Dr Rohrich is the best of the best as a person , as a doctor and as a Plastic Surgeon. He reshaped my nose to make it match my face in an natural way . It changed my life and improved my self-esteem so much. The great thing about Dr Rohrich is that he is so caring and compassionate and passionate about what he does and it shows!

Went in for a rhinoplasty consult. This office is like a plastic surgery factory. You speak to one person, who moves you to another, then you're in the patient room for the consult and after that you're moved again three times more. My consult with Dr. Rohrich was very fast. At the end of it, he said to me "You're beautiful. Now we're going to make your nose match". As to infer that there is something wrong with my nose when there is not. My choice to have this done is completely elective and superficial. A staff member also commented to me "Dr. Rohrich will 'FIX' the...." referring to my nose. I would never leave my face in the hands of such an impersonal office, especially one who seems to embark on intentionally offending patients maybe as a sales tactic to ensue insecurity in them to seal the deal. On myself, this had an adverse affect. This is the quintessential example of a plastic surgery office that has become money greedy.

Dr. Rohrich performed Botox and Juvederm injections on my facial areas and I could not have been more pleased with the results! I look natural, rested, and refreshed and the results have definitely exceeded my expectations! I would highly recommend Dr. Rohrich for anyone seeking an exceptional plastic surgeon with a keen artistic eye. In addition, his staff was very friendly and helpful.

Jazz: Listening for Life – Discovering the joy of listening.™
Our mission is to improve listening skills, and inspire the belief that music not only enhances one's life, but is essential. With money raised with our ongoing efforts, we finance classes in schools across the country, conducting workshops about jazz, listening, and how to better appreciate live music performance.
Our musicians are full-time, award-winning concert artists, who bring a wide perspective, as well as a variety of stylistic influences to the project. Each has extensive experience in music performance and education.
We've asked young people of all ages to be involved in this fundraising effort too, spreading the word through social media, because they want high-level professional musicians to come to their schools and this project makes that possible. Please donate anything you can!

Judy Carmichael: Listening for Life
Pianist and radio host launches program to bring jazz musicians to schools across the country.
Jazz Times, by Lee Mergner, January 2011
Click here to read article.
Better listening skills enable a richer experience of life.
How can jazz make us better listeners?
Studies confirm what we all suspect: attention spans are shrinking, and while most have cell phones to their ears or headphones on, no one's listening.
BETTER LISTENING: Musicians learn to discriminate between different pitch and tone quality, and improvising jazz musicians, in particular, must be intensely engaged to anticipate what comes next, when having a musical conversation with another.
BETTER FOCUS: Musicians have 40% less hearing loss as they age, because of their acquired listening skills. "If you spend a lot of your life interacting with sound in an active manner, then your nervous system has made lots of sound-to-meaning connections that can strengthen your auditory system." Nina Kraus, Director of the Auditory Neuroscience Laboratory at Northwestern University.
BETTER COMPREHENSION: Jazz is a complex musical form that engages the listeners and, like all great art, is enjoyed even more deeply with greater understanding. Understanding complexity increases intelligence.
The Jazz: Listening for Life mission is to teach jazz appreciation and listening skills from the greatest listeners in the world: jazz musicians.
Jazz: Listening for Life was created with a generous grant from Henry and Gilda Block and the Ken Kolker Foundation to Jazz Inspired, Inc. which supports educational programs and the oral histories made though Judy Carmichael's Jazz Inspired.

Charity trains service dogs for military vets
MELVILLE, N.Y. — Two years ago, a sniper's bullet struck Kimberly Ison while the Army staff sergeant was stationed in Serbia. It shattered her wrist and left her with a concussion and a fractured sense of security.
Ison, who previously served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, became distrustful of crowds and fearful of leaving her San Antonio apartment. Worse still, Ison, who also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, became such an active sleepwalker and feared she would harm herself while in a dream state.
But a 2-year-old golden retriever named Bosley, trained by America's VetDogs, a Suffolk County, N.Y.-based charity, is helping Ison regain a sense of well-being.
"I would wake up in the closet or in the bathtub. My biggest fear was that I'd get into the car and drive," said Ison, 53. "He's pretty much given me my life back."
At the VetDogs campus in Smithtown, N.Y., which echoes with the tumult of kenneled canines, war-scarred troops from around the country come to be matched with dogs taught to care for them. In addition to the Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center, military therapy dogs trained in Smithtown are used to comfort patients at the Eisenhower medical center at Fort Gordon, Ga. And George and Raleigh — a golden retriever and a mixed golden/lab — are stationed at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C.
Under an arrangement that began in 2007, two "combat stress" dogs from Smithtown are stationed with psychotherapists in Tikrit and Mosul, Iraq, providing emotional relief for troops dealing with sleep disorders, homesickness or battle-related anxieties. Two more are scheduled to go to Iraq in August.
On a humid July morning, service dogs trained there with Ison and other disabled service members — including an amputee, a soldier blinded by his injuries and several with post-traumatic stress disorder — who were picked from a waiting list to receive them.
The dogs helped with balance problems, fetching and retrieving dropped items, and carrying small backpacks. Soldiers with PTSD were matched with dogs that had been taught to sense situations their new master may find stressful, such as crowds, and to physically block strangers who are getting too close.
Bosley has learned to keep Ison from leaving her bedroom if she walks in her sleep. If Ison stirs in the middle of the night, the big golden retriever bounds to the door to block her way.
He also watches for signs of increasing anxiety in Ison, a common symptom of PTSD sufferers.
When the crackle of fireworks going off near the Smithtown training facility reminded Ison of gunshots, Bosley took Ison's hand in his mouth and walked her back into the building.
"I was in tears," Ison said. "I wondered, 'How does he know this?'"
Health experts credit service dogs with helping to ease the recovery of patients recuperating at military and veterans hospitals here and across the country.
America's VetDogs was founded in 2003 by the Smithtown-based Guide Dog Foundation for the Blind. The charity has provided about 100 veterans with dogs, said spokesman William Krol.
Dogs that are bred at the Smithtown kennels are sent for about a year to the homes of "puppy walkers," who teach them basic commands and familiarize them with behaving in public.
Once they are old enough, the dogs return to the VetDogs campus for several months, learning how to cope with the specific need of a veteran waiting to be matched with a dog.
Finally, veterans arrive at the campus for about 10 days of training with their dogs, learning how to convey their needs and how to keep their dogs from distraction.
Army Spc. Brandon Rethmel, 23, of Colorado Springs, Colo., who spent a year at Walter Reed after a leg amputation, applied for a service dog after meeting George, a VetDogs animal stationed there.
Rethmel was uneasy about talking with psychotherapists about a rocket attack in Afghanistan that destroyed his leg and killed a buddy, Sgt. Rodrigo Munguia Rivas, 27, of Maryland.
Having George around helped him relax enough to open up.
"Especially George, that made it a lot easier," Rethmel said from his wheelchair. "It wasn't as stressful."

"Excellent book!"
Great follow-up to Koban. A few good space battles and a sweet show-down between the third-gen Kobani humans and Krall.
The narration was great imho.
Overall, if you enjoyed the first book then this is good purchase.
"Thoroughly enjoyed."
Story- Interesting and entertaining plot. The pace was about perfect for my taste.
Narration- Excellent job by Patrick F. My only minor complaint was the cadence of some of the (mostly female) characters. The odd pauses distracted me for the first few chapters. I must have adapted or their frequency diminished because it didn't bother me for long. Other than that- fantastic narration.
Good mixture of action, politics, science, strategy/strategic planning. Count me in for the follow-ups.
"A worthy continuation of the story of BlackJack"
If you're reading this then chances are that you are already familiar with the series. For me, Jack does a good job balancing details that bring the book to life- without bogging it down with inconsequential details.
The story itself is a pretty good one. I'm only halfway through but so far I'm enjoying it. Not quite as action-packed as some prior titles but the stage is being set.
The narration by Christian is as good as prior books. He has a good range of characters and IMO it adds to the story.
Overall, if you enjoyed the previous books in the series then this one is a definite buy.
"Good premise but bogged down"
I guess there wouldn't be much to read if the protagonist actually followed quarantine and didn't interject himself into the neighborhood politics. That said, I'm still disappointed and had to stop listening about half-way through. To go through all the effort to prepare and then blow off basic quarantine to attend neighborhood meetings and try to become a high-profile member just doesn't make sense from the prot.'s perspective. That in addition to the tedium that inevitably resulted from the fine-grained detail given regarding the neighborhood social scene and I was done.
"Can't take anymore Kyle...."
Riggs' intelligence has been on a downward spiral (nosedive in this volume) for the last few book. For me, it hit the unbearable point during book 7. No reason for his decline has been given so perhaps it's unintentional. Regardless, the story has been ruined for me.
Mark Boyett's narration was excellent as I've come to expect. His character inflections provide a great color to the narrative.
Sad really, the story itself is very interesting to me.
"Fantastic learning experience."
This series of lectures was both entertaining and very enlightening. I found myself every bit as engaged with this as with most of the fiction titles I've listened to and not the slightest bit dry.
The info itself translates well for non-scientists. IMHO it gives the average person different ways of approaching questions and claims made by others - be it medical professionals, sales people or other individuals.
Well worth listening to.
"Wow. Great book!"
Practical Buddhist wisdom interspersed with interesting life stories. I've listened to and read a number of other Buddhism books. This one is tied for #1. The cadence of the book for me was neither rushed or slow. The author's points are clear and well made. The content is well structured.
The narration was well done. Intonation was dynamic without being overly dramatic. I can honestly say that this is the first audiobook I've heard where I've not been annoyed at some point by the narration.
The story underlying the book- that of the author's journey from a stressed PR guy through self-employment to published author was interesting IMHO. The story didn't focus on the achievements themselves but were used to educate in the same way as his older friend with cancer and a poor career choice was: illustrating alternate perspectives and responses. I had no sense of a 'look what I did! how awesome am I!?'. That is somewhat surprising in retrospect, given the achievements themselves.
The moderation was also nice. The author didn't drop all of his material wealth (and actually argues against it) nor celebrating achievements. Believing instead that more good can be done from positions of relative wealth and power than those of a penniless man without influence. The middle road seems far more achievable to me than a more spartan existence and sounds like a still worthwhile goal for those starting out. To me this is one of the key strengths of this book. Your life doesn't have to be taken over or radically change to begin.
All in all, definitely worth the buy.
