Morning light streams through a window onto a round table filled with the paraphernalia of a wine tasting. But this is no ordinary tasting room. It's Jacques Torres' chocolate factory in DUMBO, a section of Brooklyn under the looming Manhattan Bridge where crumbling warehouses and hip businesses share the narrow streets.

AFRICA/SUDAN - Agreement between Khartoum and Juba on oil
Khartoum (Agenzia Fides)-Sudan and South Sudan have reached an agreement on the price Juba has to pay to use the pipelines in Khartoum to export its oil.
According to Pagan Amum, head of the south of Sudan negotiating delegation, Southern Sudan has agreed to pay 9.10 dollars a barrel for exports through the pipeline Petrodar in High Nile, and $ 11 for those which pass through the CNPOC pipeline that starts from the State of Unity.
For months, South Sudan has blocked its oil exports because of a harsh dispute with Khartoum on the use of the pipelines.
According to Amum Sudan asked a fee of $ 36 per barrel, later reduced to $ 25. The head of the South Sudanese negotiators stressed that the agreement reached is therefore convenient to Juba and revealed that South Sudan has offered $ 3 billion in direct financial assistance to Sudan. Khartoum, which after the independence of South Sudan has lost most of the oil reserves, is in fact in serious financial difficulties, which has led to some recent popular protests for the rising prices of basic necessities and taxes.
The agreement will last for three years and a half. After that South Sudan hopes to be able to use a new pipeline which flows in Kenya, to export its oil production.
In September there will be a meeting between the Sudanese President and that of Southern Sudan to face other disputes that divide the two States, first of all the border disputes and that relating to the status of Abyei, the oil-rich border area, which is disputed between Khartoum and Juba.

British Government@LSE is an initiative currently based in the Government Department to promote and develop research on British Government being conducted at the LSE. So far world class speakers have attended our events, talking on a range of topics.
Past events are available on the left hand side menu.
From time to time there are changes to event details so we strongly recommend that if you plan to attend this event you check back on this listing on the day of the event.

You can get immediate notification on the availability of an event podcast by following LSE public lectures and events on Twitter, which will also inform you about the posting of transcripts and videos, the announcement of new events and other important event updates.
The British general election of 2015 takes place against a remarkable backdrop of political and economic uncertainty. The country's major parties are far less dominant than they once were. Insurgency can be seen in Scotland and parts of rural England, reducing the predictability of the outcome in many constituencies. The Scottish Nationalists, UKIP and the Greens are all building support. Constitutional reform will be offered, competitively, in party manifestos. The economy is growing strongly but problems remain, notably the weakness of tax receipts. Deficit reduction means public spending will be constrained throughout the next Parliament, raising major questions about Britain's on-going defence and foreign policy capacity. In domestic policy, the quality of public services and growing inequality have to be tackled. It is also possible the election result will trigger an 'in-out' referendum on whether or not the UK should leave the European Union.
British Government @ LSE, working with departments and institutes across the School, is running a series of panels about the election, taking place between January and April. In each of these events, LSE academics will outline the key challenges facing the country and consider a range of possible responses. The panels and speakers are summarised below.
At each panel, there will be opening contributions from the speakers, followed by an open discussion involving members of the audience. In common with other LSE events, these election debates will be open to the public.
Past events are available here|
Date: Wednesday 25 March
Time: 18:30 - 20:00
Venue: CLM.4.02
Speakers: Anthony Seldon, Michael Finn, Rosie Campbell
Chair: Tony Travers
The British General Election of May 2010 delivered the first coalition government since the Second World War. David Cameron and Nick Clegg pledged a 'new politics' with the government taking office in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the 1930s. Five years on, a team of experts drawn from academia, the media, Parliament, Whitehall and think tanks assesses this 'coalition effect' across a broad range of policy areas. Adopting the contemporary history approach, this pioneering book addresses academic and policy debates across this whole range of issues. Did the coalition represent the natural 'next step' in party dealignment and the evolution of multi-party politics? Was coalition in practice a historic innovation in itself, or did the essential principles of Britain's uncodified constitution remain untroubled? Fundamentally, was the coalition able to deliver on its promises made in the coalition agreement, and what were the consequences - for the country and the parties - of this union?
Sir Anthony Seldon is a leading contemporary historian and political commentator, and the 13th Master of Wellington College. A Fellow of King's College London, he is an expert on political leadership and has authored or edited over 35 books on contemporary history and politics.
Dr Mike Finn is Director of the Centre for Education Policy and Lecturer in the History of Education at Liverpool Hope University. He has taught history and politics extensively in universities, including as a Research Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford and as a Bye-Fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge. In 2006 he was Head of Research and political speechwriter to the Leader of the Liberal Democrats during the transition from Charles Kennedy to Ming Campbell.
Dr Rosie Campbell is a Reader in Politics at Birkbeck University of London. Rosie has research interests in British politics; particularly political representation, political careers, political participation, and women and politics. She is the principal investigator of the ESRC funded Representative Audit of Britain, which will survey all candidates standing in the 2015 British General Election, and co-investigator of a Leverhulme funded study of parliamentary candidates and MPs from 1945-2015 www.parliamentarycandidates.org|
Date: Monday 20 April
Time: 18:30 - 20:00
Venue: Wolfson Theatre
Speaker: Professor Tim Bale
Chair: TBC
In May 2010, Labour suffered one of its worst ever election defeats. A few months later it chose Ed Miliband as its new leader. His task? To win back power after just one term in opposition - a tall order given how many voters had come to blame Labour for the economic mess the country was in, and to see the party as a soft-touch when it came to immigration and welfare.
Even those who were more sympathetic had their doubts. Was Ed Miliband really leadership material? Would he be able to overcome defeating his elder brother to get to the top? Would he have to do as he was told by the trade union leaders who had helped him win? Could he resolve the tensions between Blairites and Brownites, Blue Labour and New Labour? Might his desire to keep his colleagues united mean Labour stayed stuck in its comfort zone? Would he, in seeking to break from the party's recent past, take it too far to the left? Could he offer the electorate something really radical in 2015 or would he instead choose something safer but ultimately less inspiring? And what should twenty-first social democracy look like now that the money had run out?
This book, by one of the country's foremost experts on party politics, seeks to answer all those questions and, in the run up to the 2015 general election, to ask one more: will Ed Miliband's five year mission turn out to be 'mission impossible'?
We recently ran a new Research Seminar programme where LSE academics discussed their work in their area of British Government.
This series of events is now over but we hope to begin again soon.
GV311: British Government|
The British Government course (GV311) is a new Undergraduate Course with open public access.
Members of the public are welcome to attend any or all of the weekly lectures or to follow the course online. The whole event and seminar package will appear online after they have been edited and upload.
Why British Government@LSE?
The LSE has always been closely involved in the study, advice and development of British Government with many of our students moving into careers in civil and public service as well as politics, and many of our most notable Professors have contributed to the understanding and development of British Government and politics.

MBA News: What Does an MBA Cost From a Top Business School?
From bargaining for scholarships and the increasing tuition of MBAs at America's top business schools, to an inspiring rags-to-riches story and bizarre PayPal policies, there's a lot to share. Let's dig into this week's MBA news!
What you don't know can cost you
One of the biggest misconceptions about going for your MBA is that there is little scholarship money or financial aid, beyond loans, to be had to help you offset your MBA cost. That's a VERY expensive misconception. The reality is that, depending on your needs and merits, business schools have plenty of scholarship money to award to high-achieving students. Ever seen their endowment figures?
Our advice to prospective students applying to those top business schools: package yourself the best you can and learn the art of the bargain. Be respectful and proactive when it comes to financial aid. The worst they can say is no. (Poets … Read full post
Are Business Schools on the Right Path? – Part 1
"The tragedy of the world is that those who are imaginative have but slight experience, and those who are experienced have feeble imaginations."
– Alfred North Whitehead, in an address to the American Association of the Collegiate Schools of Business, 1927
In a 2005 Harvard Business Review Online publication titled How business schools lost their way, authors Warren G. Bennis and James O'Toole theorized that business schools had come to focus much too heavily on "scientific" research (deriding quotes were placed around the word scientific by the authors). This misplaced pedagogical focal point had hence caused the production of graduates (i.e., MBAs) that were ill-prepared for actual, real-world management. In Bennis' own words, the thrust of their thesis is this:
"Most leading B-schools, in a valid attempt to become respected and respectable, had adopted an inappropriate model of academic excellence. Instead of measuring themselves in terms of the … Read full post

My Workout: Exercising to fight Parkinson's
Wednesday December 26, 2012
Who: Barry Carlson, 70, Portland; 5 feet 7 inches, 160 pounds.
For the 35th year in a row, Carlson completed the Roy Webster Cross-Channel Swim in Hood River on Labor Day. Normally he makes the crossing in about 24 minutes but in 2006 he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The swim now takes him about 35 minutes. His son Tary follows him in a kayak so he can take breaks. Carlson's wife of 22 years, Sharon Thorne, says, "His determination is strong; his will to finish keeps him at it." Still, this year's swim was likely his last.Read Article

Maybe the New York Knicks had already guessed that something was amiss, that their director of pro scouting and free agency, John Gabriel, was not quite the same man they hired in 2008. Maybe they had noticed a twitch or a tremor, or had taken a quick mental snapshot of an otherwise vibrant 50-something executive traveling cautiously down a flight of stairs.Read Article
Genetic manipulation of urate alters neurodegeneration in mouse model of Parkinson's disease
Wednesday December 26, 2012
A study by Massachusetts General Hospital researchers adds further support to the possibility that increasing levels of the antioxidant urate may protect against Parkinson's disease. In their report published in PNAS Early Edition, the investigators report that mice with a genetic mutation increasing urate levels were protected against the kind of neurodegeneration that underlies Parkinson's disease, while the damage was worse in animals with abnormally low urate.Read Article

Dial-A-Diagnosis? The Parkinson's Voice Initiative
Tuesday December 18, 2012
FLORIDA — BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is a condition of the brain affecting approximately six million people. It is most commonly characterized by slowness of movement, stiffness, shaking, and loss of balance. Parkinson's often develops after the age of 50. Although Parkinson's disease is one of the most common nervous system disorders for the elderly, it can affect young people too, usually because a form of the disease runs in their family. Nerve cells use a brain chemical called dopamine to control muscles. When the nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine are destroyed as a result of Parkinson's, the nerve cells in that particular part of the brain will not properly send messages. The result is the loss of muscle control. The damage gets worse over time.Read Article

Acupuncture Slows Parkinson's Disease - New Discovery
Tuesday December 18, 2012
New research reveals how acupuncture protects the brain in areas damaged by Parkinson's disease. Scientists at the World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Traditional Medicine have discovered two acupuncture points that prevent the breakdown of an important brain protecting enzyme, tyrosine hydroxylase. This enzyme helps the body to create L-DOPA, an important dopamine precursor and drug used in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. It is now known that acupuncture prevents decreases of the L-DOPA creating enzyme in the thalamic portions of the brain thereby improving the motor function that is destroyed by Parkinson's disease.Read Article
10 New Years and Holiday Recommendations for People with Parkinson's
Tuesday December 18, 2012
The holidays can be a bittersweet time for many of us, who have a tough enough time negotiating life with Parkinson's during normal months. With the holidays there's more potential for difficulties. There's temptation to indulge in excess food and drink, and crowds of people in malls and on the road, it's cold in many places, and it get's dark early. You see family and friends who have not seen you in a while since maybe things have progressed. It can all be rather overwhelming.Read Article

LOTS of photos of my Garden
I'll try to post this link, hope it works. Caution-there are a lot of photos to view. Hope you enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed growing the flowers and taking the pictures.
Yes, indeed, there were LOTS...but so fun to watch in a slideshow!
Cute lil birdies with mouths wide open!
Loved the red Passiflora.
I miss my Ixora after seeing yours.
The one you have marked as Lilies? looks like white Freesia to me.
Your pond looks lovely!
I love the colors of the purple/blue Clematis & the LA Iris!
Seeing your Porterweed reminded me I put that on my Wish List long ago. :)
Great potting table! I need something more orderly like that.
It was great to see all the critters too!
I'm curious if the others will have to join (become a member) of Imagestation. I'm already one (I store 20k+ pix there) & the people I invite to my albums have to do that. But mine aren't public. So, I am just curious if it's different for public albums?
Thanks for sharing!
Here is a link that might be useful: your link
Rosemarie, thanks for all you kind comments. And thanks for ID'ing the "lily" as Freesia. I'm not sure about having to become a member to view my albums at Imagestation, it may be so, but don't know. I guess I'll see if others try to view it.
rcnaylor, thank you too. I really love our pond. It was the nicest thing in our backyard that we did for ourselves and the critters, and we just love it.
Absolutely incredible garden. You must be an expert photographer. Do you know what the name of the purple and blue daylily was? I would love to trade for some. Absolutely stunning. Loved the picture with the baby birds! Quite an oasis you have.

(Southern Africa)–We turn next to the crisis brewing in Southern Africa. According to World Vision's emergency teams, the years of drought, insufficient harvest, and instability have made food shortages widespread. The situation may near famine status by this summer if current levels of humanitarian aid don't change. Eleven million people are at risk of starvation in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland and Mozambique. World Vision staff represents Jesus Christ in their work with people who are impacted by wars, poverty, or disaster.

Josh Hutcherson Hosting 'SNL': 4 Things to Watch For
A "Catching Fire" spoof is a given, but will "Saturday Night Live" tackle JFK or Batkid?
Saturday Night Live is catching Hunger Games fever this weekend, with Catching Fire star Josh Hutcherson making his hosting debut.
Last week, SNL had an easy target and obvious choice in the form of Toronto mayor Rob Ford. This week the show potentially could make some interesting moves. Here are a few possibilities:
JFK Assassination 50th Anniversary
Can SNL successfully tackle this national tragedy? Seinfeld famously had "The Magic Loogie," while SNL has taken on the killing of John F. Kennedy before. For the 1983 20th anniversary of JFK's death, SNL did a sketch in which incredibly uninformed people weren't aware that the assassination had occurred. And during its first season, a man playing an audience member interrupted host Richard Pryor to say he had proof there were two assassins in Dallas. But the audience member was shot and killed before he could make his revelation. Could we see the return of Jon Hamm to play the president, even?
PHOTOS: 10 Stars You Forgot Were 'Saturday Night Live' Castmembers
Catching Fire
This one's a given. Saturday Night Live already tackled The Hunger Games when Jennifer Lawrence hosted in January, with Taran Killam playing Hutcherson's Peeta. Among other things, SNL mocked the not-so-hot chemistry between Katniss and Peeta, and also made fun of Peeta's big move – camouflaging himself like a tree. It wasn't among the best of its movie parodies. Remember Christoph Waltz's DJesus Uncrossed or the more recent Wes Anderson horror film? It's time for an A+ Hunger Games sketch.
Batkid saved San Francisco Nov. 15, too late for SNL to incorporate him into last week's show. Like most people, we can't get enough of Batkid – and though we have no idea what SNL could do with the young crime fighter, we'd be curious to see what they came up with.
PHOTOS: 'Hunger Games: Catching Fire': Meet the Key Characters
Back to the Future
Like Batkid, we don't really have much of a rationale here, other than that Hutcherson is small and scrappy-looking like Marty McFly. He'd probably look good in an orange vest and a denim jacket.
What are you dying to see on this week's SNL? Sound off in the comments!
Saturday Night Live airs at 11:30 p.m. Saturdays on NBC.

Hi pd,
Just for fun, I attempted it and got the same message. I suspect it is a GW fluke that won't allow the subject line to just have 2 alpha characters, and the rest numeric.
I tried it making the 'Subject of Posting' line...
ju1234 (member trade) and it looked like it would have been accepted if I'd chosen to 'Submit'. I'd suggest trying it that way, or something similar without posting anything positive or negative in the Subject line.

White House told of CIA complaint against Senate
Alerted in advance,March 12, 2014 11:13 PM
Share with others:
WASHINGTON -- The CIA's director and its top lawyer told White House attorneys in advance about their plans to file an official criminal complaint accusing Senate Intelligence Committee aides of improperly obtaining secret agency documents, the White House confirmed Wednesday.
Lawyers in the White House counsel's office neither approved the CIA move to refer its complaint to the Justice Department nor provided any advice to the agency, presidential spokesman Jay Carney said. "There was no comment, there was no weighing in, there was no judgment," he said, citing protocol not to interfere in the ongoing inquiries into the matter by the FBI and the CIA's inspector general.
The public controversy erupted Tuesday when Senate Intelligence Committee chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., accused the CIA of snooping in a computer network it had set up for committee aides conducting an investigation into the CIA's George W. Bush-era interrogation and detention program, possibly violating the Constitution as well as federal law.
She also disclosed that a top CIA lawyer had filed papers with the Justice Department saying committee personnel may have violated the law by possessing certain agency documents.
Mr. Carney made his comments at the White House as the Senate Intelligence panel's top Republican avoided taking sides in the dispute between the chairwoman and the spy agency. Georgia Sen. Saxby Chambliss said in a Senate floor speech that he does not know all the facts, and a special investigator may be needed to find out what happened. He said pointedly that GOP staff aides were not involved in the activities at the heart of the dispute.
Mr. Carney did not specify whether President Barack Obama was directly aware of the CIA decision, saying more broadly, "The president has been aware in general about the protocols and the discussions and occasional disputes involved."
Mr. Obama avoided commenting on his involvement at the end of a White House meeting Wednesday with female Democratic lawmakers about women's economic issues. "With respect to the issues that are going back and forth between the Senate committee and the CIA," he said, CIA director "John Brennan has referred them to the appropriate authorities. And they are looking into it. And that's not something that is an appropriate role for me and the White House to weigh into at this point."
Mr. Carney's confirmation of White House awareness of the CIA decision deepens the complicated chronology that led the committee head to denounce the CIA and its top officials Tuesday for allegedly trying to intimidate and monitor the agency's congressional overseers.
Ms. Feinstein's committee has been investigating the CIA's now-shuttered "black site" overseas prison system and harsh detainee interrogation techniques. The committee's long-overdue report has been stymied by its inability to fully review a classified CIA report on the secret interrogations, while CIA officials have questioned whether Senate investigators breached a classified computer system in their efforts to press for the material.
Mr. Carney said Mr. Brennan and acting CIA general counsel Robert Eatinger informed White House officials about the agency decision to make a referral to the Justice Department. He would not say when that notification occurred.
A spokesman for national intelligence director James Clapper said Wednesday that Mr. Clapper has been "fully aware of the circumstances related to this matter and is in regular contact with Director Brennan."
DNI spokesman Shawn Turner did not say whether Mr. Clapper was told in advance of the CIA plans to file its complaint to Justice, or whether he approved of that. "Commenting on this issue while it is under review by the Justice Department would be inappropriate for someone in his position," Mr. Turner said.
Ms. Feinstein castigated Mr. Eatinger, though not by name, and characterized the move as "a potential effort to intimidate this [Senate panel] staff, and I am not taking it lightly." She contended that CIA officials monitored Senate aides as they worked on their report, raising concerns of a clash between the legislative and executive branch over the Constitution's separation of powers.
Ms. Feinstein said the CIA actions appeared designed to hamper her panel's inquiry and may have violated the Constitution, federal law and an executive order that bars the agency from conducting domestic searches.
Mr. Brennan said the CIA was "not in any way, shape or form trying to thwart this report's progression."
Mr. Obama said he was "absolutely committed" to declassifying the Senate Intelligence Committee's report. "I would urge them to go ahead and complete the report, send it to us," he said. "We will declassify those findings, so that the American people can understand what happened in the past, and that can help guide us as we move forward."

Tea Roses, Deer and dependable rainfall
My true tea rose bushes have never looked better. They all still have their late fall and winter foliage and it's healthy. No blooms, but I can handle that; it's the great foliage going into February that may not have happened before. We've had consistant rainfall of an inch a week and temps that bottoms out in the low teens.
Today the noon deer herd at the bottom of the hill numbered six; boy, does that herd grow when I'm not looking. And it's so nice to see the elders of the herd showing the youngsters how to climb through the fence around our species rose garden.
That dependable rainfall had positives: some of our big trees appear to be five to ten feet taller. Their offspring, that I overlooked when weeding last spring are now three to four feet tall and need shovel treatment to get them out of the rose gardens. I've lost two chinas that were on the north side of slightly larger roses; except the slightly larger roses (White Pet) are now much larger and just shaded White Pearl in Red Dragon's Mouth out. One of my Safranos was also shaded out by Arcata Pink Globe.
With the not-frigid temps we've had there is no way to slow down growth. The one thing I've got to do is get on top of some cankers that are active on some of the more modern roses. The mild that I like to work in the garden is the same mild that stimulates the fungi that are my rose cankers AND the red-magenta rims around those cankers are expanding (response to fungi-making ethylene gases.)
Anne, it sounds like spring's already hit your place. I was out today (it was 58F out!) checking things and I have growth going on all over the place. Not the best thing for the roses but like you said you can't stop it. I'm most worried because everything is leaf mulched for winter and, of course, we haven't had much real winter weather and there's no snow anywhere. So I'm worried about cankers too. I don't dare pull off the mulch because you know the instant I do that it'll go down to sub-zero and I'll lose them. We have all of February and a good part of March that's still winter and could decided to behave like winter. So I'm just sitting tight and hoping and praying. If it's still this warm come the beginning of March though I'll probably pull the leaves off the beds and let them grow. I don't know about the pots because March can be a wild month weather wise here. It can be in the 50s during the day and the teens at night. What do you do in weather like that? Do I take them out and hope they don't freeze to death or leave them in and hope they don't cook?
This is stuff I have to deal with basically every year anymore. Here in Italy, global warming has ruined the climate. This year is particularly worrisome. Up to now, it's been mild and super-dry (this driness will, however, hopefully ensure lack of fungus problems, so I guess that's the silver lining,though it won't be fun if they have to start rationing water...)Many of my roses have started growing, sort of, with lots of little leaf buds swelling. Others have put out the beginnings of basals and new leaves.Now, a Siberian front has moved in. We did get some snow last night,maybe 4 inches,thank Heaven. But the temps are predicted to go way down below normal, with HIGHS at-9 degrees Celsius! Worse yet, it's supposed to last for more than a week.Awful. regards, bart
Yes, Ann, I'm also worried about my poor roses (everything else seems to love it!!!). Their feet are probably so soggy with all the rain, I'm curious what will happen in the spring. I just hope its been cold enough here to snap the once bloomers into full dormency so they'll bloom!
Hi Tammy: it's rainy here too. We went from really dry to wet. It's the WARMEST winter here in a decade. My roses are still green to the tip. Normally Knock-outs die back to the crown. Thanks for the info. that once bloomers need cold dormency to bloom (I didn't know that).
Our temp. was record high 50's yesterday, now it's 40's. It feels weird to send my kid to school without dressing her up in snow-pants and boots.
It happened after I typed. I was out weeding and I heard a clatter (finally got to use that Christmas poem word) down in Rocky Narrows where the paved road is. Lots of sounds that I hadn't heard before.
Then one of the handsomest horses I've ever seen emerged. He couldn't have made that much noise! Then a pair of ridden horses really close- then two more ridden horses all in a four horse hitch. The four were being trained to pull a wagon. The wagon was heavily laden, much heavier than I expect the old wooden wagons to be. Then a glint of sunlight hit the barrel of the cannon. This was not a small cannon, but one almost five feet long.
What a great thing to do on a sunny January day. Train your horses so they can participate in reinactments. (Beats weeding.)
Back to roses.
I have kept roses in pots in a wheelbarrow for moving in and out of the garage. Also on a two layered cart, also for moving in and out. Before we had three vehicles in need of garaging, the third bay that faces south was mine in winter for certain plants: good weather=door up; bad weather= door down.
About the once blooming OGRs. In late fall, when I talk to my roses, every fall I tell the OGRs how smart they are. Forget the moderns that hold onto their leaves well into December. The OGRs drop their leaves regardless of the apparent hot/cold; it HAS to be length of day related.
Now spring has its own effects on them. I've had moss roses here that bloom and are nice for a short while. Then we visited the garden up west of Canton Ohio and I almost went into shock at the size of the sprays of roses that developed on their moss roses. HUGE sprays of ten or more buds (I would be lucky to get three buds per spray.) On their sprays, two or three buds would bloom at once, and there were still so many, many more buds to come that they were going to have a longer bloom time, just because their were so many more buds to happen. I'd guess that that was a function of cooler growth times in early spring. Then there was the Madam Hardy we saw up in Portland Maine. My Madam Hardy made three inch blooms. The one up in Portland was five inches across. (Their version of the Pacific North West moster HT blooms.)
This winter will go towards ballancing out the two winters we had here (we've had this place for about 16 years) when temps were below 0Fahrenheit.
Re the soil moisture: as long as the soil smells OK while I'm weeding, I know the moisture is moveing through and I am avoiding anoxic conditions. IF I were to get that rank sulphur smell, I'd rather know now than later when the plants would show a problem. This is one place where being on a hill with a roll-down if you slip slope is an advantage; I can always change the drainage if the plants don't like it.
Strawberry, I believe that the once bloomers need full dormency to bloom their best; I remember hearing that someplace...but maybe someone else can clarify it further. I do know there's some roses that don't do well in warm climates because they need that cold snap every year to perform well. :)
What a wonderful spectacle that must have been, Ann!
Not all once bloomers need a cold period. It depends on what class they are. Chinas, noisettes and tea roses don't need any cold to bloom. There are probably others too that I don't know about because I can't grow most of them here anyway. As for the rest if you've had frosts or freezes a few times that's probably all it will take and they'll bloom just fine for you come spring. I don't think it takes weeks of complete freeze to trigger it.
And like Ann noted, the length and strength of daylight does play a major part in their coming out of dormancy. As the sun gets higher up in the sky and the daylight hours get longer the roses begin more active growth. So that may also be playing a part in why all of our roses seem to want to be growing now. I know I've certainly noticed the longer daylight!

This guy needs some serious help. The whole thing with the shotgun shell was pretty stupid. Someone send him a box of rounds that says "WARNING!!! Do not use if you are a dumb ass". What does this guy think is faster, a car or a bullet. And what the hell does he mean who will the jury beleive. He actually thinks they will believe someone who randomly ran over and killed a law abiding citizen who still had their pistol strapped in their holster. People these days. What are some numbers and addresses to some of the high up NRA people?
5pages on this baked out f his mind hippy who should be sprayed win a fire hose and maced in the face. Every time you go watch his videos it just validates and encourages him to make more. I say leave him alone he is so fried hat soon he will die.
Either that or kill him. He is a convicted child molester so no great loss. Hey you can run him over. I'm not a violent man but I have no room in the world for some one who harms a child.
did anyone catch the part about him stating it was alright to run over a person carrying, because you feared for your life, and then say to kick the gun out the holster before the police arrived? the nutjob is promoting murder and evidence tampering! i suspect even the anti gunners would find this idiot not exactly playing with a full deck!
Has anyone seen his videos from a year ago? He's sayin that the NRA is responsible for 9/11, the Kennedy assassination, and the Lincoln assassination, which is kinda funny since Lincoln was assassinated in 1865, and the NRA wasn't formed until 1871.... You ignorant POS!

The Wisconsin Council on Children and Families' "Race to Equity" report indicates that Wisconsin, and particularly Dane County, may have the worst racial disparities in incarceration in the nation. MOSES, a Madison-based interfaith social justice organization, is working to fix that.
In fact, it may go even farther than that. Amy Pooler, a leader in MOSES, said, "Dane County has the worst racial disparities in incarceration rates of African American rates in the country, and that means in the world, because the U.S. already incarcerates more of its population than any other nation on Earth."
A masked and armed robber is still at large after robbing a store on State Street on Tuesday night, Madison police said.
Officers were sent to a report of an armed robbery at the Life is Good Store at 514 State St. just before 7:30 p.m., according to a release.
The robber ordered the store clerk onto the floor at gunpoint, reached into the till, took an undisclosed amount of money and fled in an unknown direction, officials said.
The female store clerk was not injured.
The robber is described as a black man in his 30s, 5 feet 7 inches tall with a chubby build. He was wearing a dark coat, dark jeans, dark shoes and a dark scarf covering his face.
Police said a drunken homeless woman beat a man with a metal crutch in downtown Madison early Thursday because she wanted his sleeping spot.
The Madison Police Department said Loretta D. Manuel, 38, is homeless and is one of many who sleep on the streets downtown. Early Thursday morning, Manuel wanted to sleep out of the wind in a spot near the front doors to the City County Building on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. But a 53-year-old homeless man was already sleeping there.
At 3:15 a.m., Manuel reportedly grabbed an aluminum crutch that belonged to another homeless person, began yelling and violently striking the man in the head. Police said the man tried to block the woman's blows and was able to get up and get the metal crutch away from the alleged attacker.
A man nearby heard the kerfuffle and called 911; police who were inside the City County Building were able to respond quickly, according to the report.
A homeless man suffered bumps and bruises after he was attacked in downtown Madison Sunday night, according to Madison police.
The Madison Police Department said a 44-year-old made small talk with a woman on the 500 block of North Frances Street at about 9:15 p.m.
The man told police that an angry man who was thought to be the woman's boyfriend came over to where the 44-year-old was located and punched him, according to the report. The woman and another couple also punched the man.
The 44-year-old told police he thought a woman fired a BB gun at him. Police said no BBs or pellets were found at the scene.
A witness saw the man getting attacked and said the assailants fled as the witness approached.
The report said the man was was not able to provide good descriptions of his attackers.
A 45-year-old man was found outside a downtown tavern with life-threatening injuries early Friday, police said.
The Madison Police Department said the injured man, who is not from Wisconsin, was found outside the Red Rock Saloon at 322 W. Johnson St. shortly after 2 a.m.
According to the report, officers believe the man was punched and then hit his head when he fell to the pavement.
Police said a vehicle carrying several people was pulled over a short time later on Mineral Point Road. Those individuals are being questioned by police but have not been arrested.
Police asked anyone with information about the battery to to call Madison Area Crime Stoppers at 266-6014.
University of Wisconsin police are asking community members to watch out for green, blue, orange or yellow Union chairs that may have been stolen, according to a release.
Each year, the Wisconsin Union has a number of the metal Union sunburst chairs stolen, officials said. The chairs come yellow, blue, green, orange, red and white, but the red and white chairs can be purchased online.
Approximately 250 Union chairs were stolen last year, officials said.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison Police Department has partnered with the Wisconsin Union in an effort to deter the theft of the chairs from the terraces, according to the release. New programs are being established to cut down on the amount of chairs that are stolen every year.
A priceless family heirloom was reportedly stolen among other valuables from a university student's bedroom as he slept overnight Wednesday, police said.
Madison police said a 20-year-old University of Wisconsin-Madison student woke in his room at a fraternity house on North Henry Street Wednesday to find his Star of David pendant had been taken.
Police said a burglar had entered two rooms at the house where two fraternity brothers were sleeping at about 2 a.m.
Police spokesman Joel DeSpain said that the four students -- three 19-year-old men and the 20-year-old -- discovered electronics and money were missing Wednesday morning and called police.
The student's Star of David that was snatched had survived the Holocaust, according to the report.
"The worth of such a pendant goes far beyond dollars and cents," DeSpain said.
The pendant has the Hebrew letter Shin in the center and is attached to a gold necklace, police said.

Yeah the unrated version has the thing where u can make a person like they did on the movie its totally cool
I thought that the movie was really good. The plot is pretty cookie cutter but the cinamatography was great as well as the acting and production values. Alltogether a great movie. I rented it then bought it the next day, worth owning. Oh and the create a character feature is done to unlock additional special features.
I liked it too. Who wouldn't want to play a game that kills you the same way you died in it. A lot of people on xbox live will start playing a lot better, lol.
Plus, three people lived in the end, not two.
Does anybody else have something to say about Stay Alive?

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon

Lu had been nicknamed the "golden whistle" for his supposed integrity during an earlier match fixing scandal which rocked Chinese football eight years ago.
Depending on the amount of money involved, and if he is found guilty of taking money as a public servant, he could face the death penalty.
The other two referees arrested were Huang Junjie, a nominee last year for the China Super League's best referee award, and Zhou Weixin, who retired in 2004 after being given an eight-game suspension by the national association for a bad call.
Wei Di, the head of the Chinese Football Association (CFA), was quoted by the China Daily as saying he was "shocked" and "hurt" at news of Lu's arrest.
"He is undoubtedly a first-rate referee in terms of working ability, but his morals are a far cry from his 'golden whistle' reputation," he said.
Club relegations
Wei took over as head of the CFA after his predecessor was arrested as part of the sweeping crackdown against corruption in the game.
As part of the CFA's crackdown two Chinese Super League clubs have also been relegated to the second tier for being associated with corruption.
A second division team from the northeastern city of Qingdao was kicked out of professional football altogether for match-fixing.
Facing intense pressure from China's leaders, Wei has pledged to end such activities, but has complained of issues that include a lack of transparency, autocratic management, and strong ties between coaches, players and gambling syndicates.
Last week, more than 200 referees were sent on a five-day "Anti-corruption Rectification Education Camp".
China's leaders have also linked corruption and poor league management to the lowly state of China's national team, which currently ranks 83 in the world.

Football Drives HDTV sales, CEA Study Finds
Football Drives HDTV sales, CEA Study Finds
February 01, 2013
A new CEA study finds that football is more than just the national pastime – it's also an excuse to shop for a new TV. According to CEA's forthcoming
Sports and Technology Study V
, nearly a quarter (22 percent) of high-definition television (HDTV) owners in the U.S. bought a new set in order to watch the Super Bowl – the highest ranking sporting event to affect HDTV purchases.
But come Sunday night, TVs won't be the only CE devices capturing football fans' attention. Of the 70 percent of online U.S. adults who say they'll follow the championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, 10 percent say they'll follow the game via social media. Meanwhile, eight percent say they plan to keep track of the score and stats online, while seven percent say they'll watch clips and highlights online, and another seven percent say they plan to stream the game live via the Internet.
Kevin Tillmann, senior research analyst at CEA, says sporting events have a strong track record of driving TV sales year after year. "The impact of these sports events on consumer electronic sales is even higher when factoring in TV accessories and premium broadcast services. One quarter of online U.S adults that subscribe to cable, satellite or fiber-to-home television service currently pay extra to subscribe to a premium sports package."
Sports and Technology Study V
report will be published in March and will be available for free to CEA members at
. Non-members will be able to purchase the study at

There is nothing wrong with exclusivity agreements as long as they are with the affected parties. If a provider wants exclusivity, they should make an agreement with the SUBSCRIBER that they will get a discount if they agree to not sign with a competitor for a certain amount of time.
I explained why in the banking analogy which you must have missed. So if you don't like your employer deciding where you bank, just find a friendlier boss? Sorry, wrong.The exclusivity contracts being discussed have nothing to do with rental agreements. In this case landlords are being paid to perform the anti-competitive actions of a third party. There is no doubt that they are wrong, I would question why they are legal at all. The agreement you are talking about is when tenants agree to exclusivity which is fine... exactly like I said.
The last HOA I worked with (no, I'm not a fan) with a headend system landed basic cable (or what we used to call basic cable, before it was downsized) for $11/door (not drop), where the retail rate was running nearly $50/month. Dish MDU contracts avail similar discounts - but only when you do the entire building.
No, I didn't say that. You did. Of course HOA members have the right to attend board meetings and voice their objections or approval

Yeah, it is definitely sad. It is also sad that people come out and try and defend this greed as 'good'.
