Underwhelmed in Amsterdam
... very very long and not moving fast. - I don't really do queues and certainly not outdoors in gusting winds and driving rain, so that fell off my agenda fast. I moved on the the Van Gogh Museum, killing time there in the slightly shorter queue by asking locals how the name is pronounced, wandering if the American 'Van Go' or the British 'Van Goff' is more accurate, but the answer was more 'Fon Choch' ( the 'ch' pronounced Welsh-style) so it seems we ...

Overwintering Ornamental Grasses in Pots
I have had good luck with ornamental grasses in the ground, but I'm thinking about planting some perennial grasses in pots for my full-sun deck. Anyone have any luck leaving them outside in pots all winter or keeping them alive in the garage over the winter?
Hi Alisonn,
Here in Monmouth county I have had good success overwintering various containerized ornamental grasses in my garage. Depending on hardiness, some might do okay outside over the winter, but I'd be wary with some of the bordeline ones like Miscanthus.
With large ornamental grasses in pots, be sure to stay on top of the annual repotting duties in the spring, or they can easily become potbound. It's a good time to make divisions and multiply your grasses! If they do become potbound, just be that much more vicious when you cut them up.
Best of luck!

Google makes Gmail's unsubscribe feature more noticeable in an effort to help email recipients fend off spam. What does this mean for marketers looking to promote their businesses via email?
Google is adding an "unsubscribe" feature to Gmail in order to help email recipients remove themselves from unwanted promotional lists.
Gmail users can find the unsubscribe button in the top right-hand corner of the header field in promotional emails. The updated feature means that users will now be able to stop emails that they do not wish to receive in a more efficient manner, rather than needing to look for the tiny opt-out option generally found at the bottom of an email.
This is what the new button looks like:
Google tells ClickZ that the unsubscribe feature in Gmail is actually not new, but this recent modification makes it more convenient for email recipients to remove themselves from these lists. Gmail users could previously already unsubscribe from unwanted messages with the "unsubscribe from this sender" link in the details dropdown. However, most found it difficult to recognize that link and ended up reporting promotional emails as spam, even though some of those emails are from legitimate senders. The modified feature should rectify that.
Although this new link seems helpful for email recipients, could it become an obstacle for marketers who are looking to promote their businesses via email? According to Google, this will not be the case, as the updated feature will ensure that businesses maintain a good sender reputation.
The rationale, says Google, is that if a certain number of people report a sender's messages as spam, Gmail's system will classify that sender as a spammer. The unsubscribe button will help email recipients define real spam and reduce spam reports on promotional emails that are legitimate.
It's still unclear how Google differentiates between promotional and non-promotional emails, because the unsubscribe button appears in some emails (including those from The New York Times and Google itself), but not others (including those from Amazon and PayPal).

COLLEGE ROWING CREW Throw Team Member into River Circa 1936 (Vintage Film Home Movie). Rowing is one of the oldest intercollegiate sports in the United States. However, rowers comprise only 2.2% of total college athletes. This may be in part because of the status of rowing as an amateur sport and because not all universities have access to suitable bodies of water. In the 2002-03 school year there were 1,712 male and 6,690 female collegiate rowers. This is compared to the 2,037 male and 2,049 female high school rowers who competed in the 2003-04 school year.

Tribune reporters Dan Wiederer and Rich Campbell discuss the Bears' signing of controversial player Ray McDonald.
Guessing about quarterbacks is a bad thing in the NFL, almost as bad as importing Canadian Football League coaches.
In August, defensive end Ray McDonald of the 49ers celebrated his 30th birthday with friends at his 4,800-square-foot home in San Jose overlooking a golf course. Guests arrived as early as 3 p.m. with the party going strong enough to generate a noise complaint after midnight.
A newsman trusts his instincts.
The Tribune's Dan Wiederer and Rich Campbell review where the Bears stand after the owners meetings.
PHOENIX — The first time John Fox walked into the Bears headquarters, it was based at Lake Forest College and the team wasn't far removed from victory in Super Bowl XX.
PHOENIX — On the final day of the NFL owners meetings two years ago, the Bears issued a news release saying Brian Urlacher was not returning to the team.
PHOENIX -- A day after the Chicago Bears reached a controversial and heavily scrutinized one-year contract agreement with defensive end Ray McDonald, coach John Fox became the team's latest spokesman to endorse the move and the thorough research that preceded it.
PHOENIX -- Now that John Fox has decided to proceed with Jay Cutler as the Chicago Bears starting quarterback, there's the task of getting him past the deficiencies that have helped prevent the Bears from becoming a perennial playoff team.
PHOENIX — The NFL wrapped up the owners meetings Wednesday morning and flipped its calendar to the annual buildup for the draft. This year, that means Chicago is about to command the spotlight.
PHOENIX -- Chicago Bears owner George McCaskey understands what's at stake. Tuesday's signing of defensive end Ray McDonald comes with risk and plenty of potential drama.

Patrick Willis made seven Pro Bowls and a strong case for the Pro Football Hall of Fame yet his sudden retirement at 30 paled in comparison to that of a lesser 49ers linebacker.

Twenty-eight-year-old Isabel Bookbinder has figured some things out:she's moved in with her loving lawyer boyfriend, and despite her mother's adoration of all things matching, she's finally discovered her true calling—fashion design. After all, she knows her Manolos from her Louboutin, her Pucci from her Prada, and she's always poring over fashion magazines (the celebrity pages of fashion magazines, that is). She's even landed a position with Nancy Tavistock, editor at top fashion magazine Atelier, and creative muse to hot designer Lucien Black.
So learning from the very best, the future's looking bright for Isabel Bookbinder: Top International Fashion Designer. Within days she's putting the final touches on her debut collection, has dreamed up a perfume line (Isabelissimo), and is very nearly a friend of John Galliano. Yet nothing ever runs smoothly for Isabel, and fabulously fashionable as her life may be, it soon seems to be spiraling a little out of her control.
With her characteristic humor, charm, and tendency to stumble into sticky situations, Isabel Bookbinder is an irresistible heroine you're sure to fall in love with.
Holly McQueen has wanted to be a writer ever since discovering that the nuns at her junior school would let her off math homework if she wrote a story instead. After unexpected detours via law, magazine journalism, and even musical theatre, she began writing her first novel in 2006. Holly lives with her husband in London. She still avoids math.
"Full of humor and spunk, this is a delightful installment in the misadventures of McQueen's charmingly farcical character." — Booklist

DEFINITION of 'Put-Call Parity'
A principle referring to the static price relationship, given a stock's price, between the prices of European put and call options of the same class (i.e. same underlying, strike price and expiration date). This relationship is shown from the fact that combinations of options can create positions that are the same as holding the stock itself. These option and stock positions must all have the same return or an arbitrage opportunity would be available to traders. Any option pricing model that produces put and call prices that don't satisfy put-call parity should be rejected as unsound because arbitrage opportunities exist.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Put-Call Parity'
The above illustration demonstrates a simple put-call parity relationship. Looking at the graph, we see that a long-stock/long-put position (red line) has the same risk/return profile as a long call (blue line) with the same expiration and strike price. The only difference between the two lines is the assumed dividend that is paid during the time to expiration. The owner of the stock (red line) would receive the additional amount, while the owner of the call (blue line) would not. However, if we assume no dividend would be paid to stockholders during the holding period, then both lines would overlap.

President Barack Obama reached another significant milestone on the long difficult road toward economic recovery when General Motors (GM) recently launched one of the largest initial public offerings (IPO) in American history. I believe that the proper stimulus investment in the African American business community will also bring a much-needed economic recovery.
To the astounded pseudo-economists and near-sighted politicians who vociferously criticized President Obama for using federal stimulus funds to reorganize and stabilize GM, the fact is the stimulus worked. The investment of taxpayers' dollars worked to save GM jobs and to catalyze a financial rebirth of GM. Now as a result, in Detroit and in other cities where GM and the automotive industry is based, there is an increase in the opportunity to regain some of the jobs and businesses that went under when GM went down. The nation's biggest automaker in very heavy trading closed its first day on its return to Wall Street at $34.19-a share price. Billions of dollars were raised. President Obama stated, "We are finally beginning to see some of the tough decisions that we make in the midst of crisis pay off."

Bank Teller Education Requirements
Bank tellers require little formal education. Learn about on-the-job training, job duties and requirements to see if this is the right career for you.
Essential Information
Bank tellers aid customers in making deposits, withdrawals and other transactions. Most bank tellers hold a high school diploma or the equivalent and receive on-the-job training after they're hired. They need to be familiar with basic computer use and might be tested on general math aptitude. A background check is also required. During their on-the-job training, they learn to perform various teller duties and get information on the bank's policies and practices.
|Required Education
|High school diploma or GED certificate
|Other Requirements
|Math proficiency test, background check
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)*
|Median Salary (2013)*
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).
Educational Requirements
Bank teller positions require a high school diploma or GED. A college degree isn't necessary to find work, but a 2-year associate or 4-year bachelor's degree in math, finance or business might help one get hired or promoted. Education in a second language can also help in finding work with banks looking for applicants fluent in foreign languages.
Prospective tellers are tested on their aptitude with figures. They generally need to be able to work on computer terminals. Since they handle cash and personal information, applicants must pass a thorough background check.
Certificate Programs
Though not required, some schools offer short bank teller education programs resulting in a certificate. Classes in these programs explain bank operations, banking regulations, ethics and teller duties. The curriculum is designed to strengthen the student's math and customer service skills.
On-The-Job Training
During on-the-job training, tellers are introduced to the bank's computer applications, trained on cash-counting and check-processing machines and taught how to interact with customers. They must also learn the bank's security, audit and compliance procedures.
Bank teller training also covers special services, such as redeeming U.S. Savings Bonds, taking coin orders and issuing bank-certified checks or traveler's checks. Tellers learn to make out money orders, take utility and loan payments, issue license plate stickers and provide customer access to safe deposit boxes. They might be trained to assist in sales initiatives geared toward finding customers interested in investments, loans and credit cards.
Career Duties
A teller's daily tasks include setting up a cash drawer, counting cash, taking deposits and making withdrawals. They file deposit slips and other paperwork, sort checks, handle correspondence and balance accounts. They might need to be proficient with spreadsheets and online teller systems.
Most full-time bank tellers spend 35-40 hours a week at terminals, working face-to-face with clients. Since they provide a direct interface between a bank and its customers, they must know how to handle complaints in a courteous and professional manner. Some might work at drive-up windows or as ATM attendants. Those who have seniority, superior performance records and, in some cases, college degrees might advance to positions such as head teller, supervisor, loan officer or branch manager.

Cisco Manages Energy for Multitude of Electronic Devices
Cisco has been talking about the "Internet of Things" for a few years. Now the company is beginning to talk about powering down all these "things" to save energy.
In July 2013, Cisco acquired JouleX – a provider of enterprise IT energy management for network-attached and data center assets. JouleX has since been incorporated into Cisco's energy portfolio via its EnergyWise offering.
"We saw that the market for energy management is a growing one, particularly with IT pushing 25-80 percent of enterprise energy consumption, writes Cisco's Global Communications Director Marc Musgrove, in a blog posting.
Musgrove points out that the numbers of electronic devices has exploded. Individuals own multiple devices from cell phones, to tablets, to laptops. And organizations such as schools and hospitals use a plethora of electronic devices, which all need to be plugged in and charged, resulting in a huge unmanaged IT expense.
"It's unrealistic to expect individuals to power down their devices when not in use," writes Musgrove. "At the same time, we've found that a single work place device is left powered on for an average of 8,000 hours over the course of its use but only actually utilized 25-50 percent of the time."
The company estimates that if businesses have greater visibility into their operations, they can reduce energy costs by as much as 60 percent, and Cisco wants in on that energy management business. Cisco gives examples of two customers that have saved energy:
- Using JouleX software, Indiana's Hammond School District discovered 1,800 devices that were left powered on after hours during the week and 1,200 over the weekend. Armed with this information, the school district implemented policies to power devices down, and is now using 35 percent less power with an annual projected savings of $31,500.
- The Nij Smellinghe Hospital in the Netherlands used JouleX to gained visibility into its IT environment and was able to achieve a 30 percent reduction in energy. Although the primary purpose of the software was to power off devices at night and turn them back on in the morning, the program also made employees more aware of energy management and resulted in changed behavior.

Legislation Would Create Tougher Penalties For Heroin Use, Trade
Attorney General Jack Conway and two Kentucky lawmakers are introducing a bill aimed at curbing the state's growing heroin epidemic.
Sen. Katie Stine and Rep. John Tilley want to raise penalties for heroin traffickers, provide funding for anti-heroin education and expand Medicaid services to include treatment for opiate addiction.
The bill builds on a previous attempt by Stine to charge dealers with homicide in overdose deaths. She says that the new bill tries to focus as much on both sides of heroin use.
"The bill targets, principally, two groups: The trafficker, who needs to be run out of Kentucky or locked up; and the addict, who has broken the law, but who has created their own personal prison of addiction that is worse than any jail the state could design, and they need treatment," she said.
Stine doesn't have a cost estimate for the bi-partisan legislation.
Conway says the number of heroin overdoses increased in Kentucky by 650 percent last year.

Michelle Hunziker recently co-hosted the 49th Ceremony of the Golden Camera awards in Germany and she did so in fantastic fashion. Michelle Hunziker's presence on the stage was sensational as she flawlessly hosted the awards ceremony and looked as if she were never pregnant despite recently giving birth to her second daughter. Michelle Hunziker looked as if she could walk down a modelling runway and displayed the presence that has made her such a desired brand ambassador and entertainment personality in Germany and Italy.
However, Michelle Hunziker is not only a great television host she is also a talented singer as she has countless times throughout her career including at the 2014 Golden Camera Awards. In December 2013 she provided Germany a great Christmas present when she sang a Christmas song with the music superstar Michael Buble. Her impressive singing talent was further displayed at the German Cameras she performed a song with German singing star Hape Kerkeling which displayed her singing talent.
In 2014 fans of Michelle Hunziker will have the opportunity to hear more of her music as she and Hape Kerkeling recently announced that they are releasing a joint single song, "Come a bit to Italy". Michelle Hunziker is one of the few stars in the entertainment world who can combine the ability to act, sing, model and be an entertainment television host in multiple languages.
Michelle Hunziker is making the year 2014 a very productive one as she finds herself hosting award shows, making scintillating music and enhancing her impressive reputation as an entertainment television personality. She is an entertainment personality who can make even the best nights better as she showed with her co-hosting of the 2014 Golden Camera Awards.

Tomato seedlings too tall and skinny
This is my first time growing tomatoes from seed and I'm afraid they're too tall and skinny. I planted them about 2.5 weeks ago.
I've had them on a window sill (it's been cloudy lately) and grew them in Burpee seed pods.
Any suggestions? I would like to attach a picture, but not sure if that's possible on this forum?
Well, if you have tall, skinny tomatoes, just bury them up to their leaves and they will be fine.
Wait until they have their second pair of true leaves, then either plant them in the garden, or bump them up to a bigger pot. Lay them in a shallow trench, and bury them up to their bottom leaves. Water well, and that is all there is to it.
The tomato will make roots down the length of the buried stem, and will have a much better root system. This is the way I plant all my tomatoes, even those I have purchased.
Best of luck.
Some of the best tomatoes that I ever raised were really tall and lanky. (They were about 2 ft. tall). I bought them that way. I buried them in a trench (all of the leaves were removed, except the very top 6 or 8 leaves). The plants REALLY produced that year.
Hello "kikivision",
I just wanted to let you know that there are a couple of posts about the same thing over on the Tomato Conversations forum.
I'm not saying that the advice given here is incorrect in any way, it is right on base. But I think a couple of additional options were discussed in greater detail.
hi everyone. my tomato plants have grown really tall 5'-9" to be exact with the help of a nylon line with a counter weight..but i've notice bottom branches wither and turn yellow or stay curled up and plant doesn't get thicker like i've seen in other tomato plants.. ill appreciate any help im a newbie growing tomatoes..thank you all for your time

The Matthadiguda Declaration for Food Sovereignty in Telangana -2015

- Published on Wednesday, 04 March 2015 15:10
(India, Telanganam February 24, 2015) Over 600 delegates participated in the Telangana Food Sovereignty Summit organised by the Food Sovereignty Alliance, India and hosted by its member organisation Telangana Adivasi Aikya Vedika, in Matthadiguda village, Adilabad district, Telangana, between February 22 and 24, 2015. Diverse social movements and civil society organisations of Telangana as also Adivasi, Dalit and Farmers movements from Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Jharkhand, Karnataka and Maharashtra participated and expressed their solidarity with the Matthadiguda Declaration on Food Sovereignty in Telangana:
We the adivasis, dalits, peasants, shepherds and co-producer citizens of Telangana, Indiaassert our collective rights to our land, forests, water, air, indigenous seeds and animals, our diverse food cultures, our knowledge systems and local markets. We shall safeguard our sacred relationship with Mother Earth and protect this abundance of life for future generations. We declare that it is women of our communities who are leading this movement.
Declaration of the International Forum for Agroecology

- Published on Wednesday, 04 March 2015 14:52
Nyéléni, Mali
27 February 2015
We are delegates representing diverse organizations and international movements of small-scale food producers and consumers, including peasants, indigenous peoples and communities (together with hunters and gatherers), family farmers, rural workers, herders and pastoralists, fisherfolk and urban people. Together, the diverse constituencies our organizations represent produce some 70% of the food consumed by humanity. They are the primary global investors in agriculture, as well as the primary providers of jobs and livelihoods in the world.
We gathered here at the Nyéléni Center in Sélingué, Mali from 24 to 27 of February, 2015, to come to a common understanding of agroecology as a key element in the construction of Food Sovereignty, and to develop joint strategies to promote Agroecology and defend it from co-optation. We are grateful to the people of Mali who have welcomed us in this beautiful land. They have taught us through their example, that the dialogue of our various forms of knowledge is based on respectful listening and on the collective construction of shared decisions. We stand in solidarity with our Malian sisters and brothers who struggle – sometimes sacrificing their lives – to defend their territories from the latest wave of land grabbing that affects so many of our countries. Agroecology means that we stand together in the circle of life, and this implies that we must also stand together in the circle of struggle against land grabbing and the criminalization of our movements.
There is no Agroecology without Women

- Published on Thursday, 26 February 2015 17:56
Mali, Sélingue, February 25, 2015 – Although men still have the most privileges with regard to access to land, credits and other agricultural inputs, one cannot speak of agroecology without women. Women play an important role in the food production all over the world, thus there is no people´s Agroecology without a central and leadership role for women.
This was the reason why in the afternoon of the first day of the International Forum on Agroecology taking place in Sélingue, Mali (24-27 March), more than 60 women from Africa, Asia, Americas and Europe decided to convene a parallel "women space" to have a common understanding on the significance of their work as peasants, fisherfolks or pastoralists. Nandini Jairam, a peasant farmer from Karnataka, India said "it is thus essential that women discuss and exchange their experiences and challenges among themselves in order to have a clear understanding of the value of their valuable work".
Mali: "Agroecology is in our hands! We are building it further together!" - Opening of the International Agroecology Forum

Sélingué, 24 February 2015 – Today, the sun has risen brighter than ever in Mali to warm the more than 250 delegates of the first International Forum on Agroecology being held at the Nyéléni Center in Sélingué, south Mali hosted by Confederation of Peasants Organizations of Mali (CNOP) and La Via Campesina, and organised by organisations which are part of the International Planning Committee for Food Sovereignty (IPC). There are women and men, from diverse constituencies, among them farmers, fisherfolks, indigenous people, pastoralists and urban consumers from all corners of the world, arrived to the center in buses from Bamako and other regions of Mali (See photos on tvCampesina).
"I decided to come here because we are building a necessary movement, that will claim back what was always ours: our peasant knowledge of doing agriculture ", said a woman farmer from Mali, as she was running to attend the women caucus, this afternoon.
Over the next four days, the women and men of the conference will debate, share experiences and celebrate agroecology with the view to reinforcing a common vision and principles, as well as deciding on a common strategy to claim back the concept of agroecology, "beyond just the scientific aspect, to encompass its social, economic and political elements", as Gilberto Schneider, from the Movimento dos Pequenos Agricultores (MPA) in Brazil, pointed out.
