1881 – Château de Chantilly, Oise, France
The Château de Chantilly comprises two attached buildings; the Grand Château and the Petit Château which was built around 1560 for Anne de Montmorency. The Grand Château was destroyed in the French Revolution. It was repaired in a modest way by the last Condé, but then entirely rebuilt in 1875-1881 by Henri d'Orléans, duc d'Aumale (1822-1897) to the designs of Honore Daumet. It is owned by the Institut de France, who keeps it open to the public.

China Crushes Six Tons
Of Ivory to Stem Elephant Poaching
In an effort to stem elephant poaching, Chinese authorities
have crushed six tons of confiscated ivory
, the first such effort in the country's history. Coordinated by the State Forestry Administration and the General Administration of Customs, the event was widely publicized and aimed at spreading awareness in China of the scale of the global poaching crisis. Conservation
groups consistently name China as a major driver of elephant poaching, as the country's growing middle class has increasingly sought to buy ivory ornaments and ivory-based medicinal therapies, which have no scientific or medical basis. The six tons of ornaments and tusks that were crushed represent only a fraction of China's ivory stockpile, which is probably more than 45 tons, the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) estimates. Still, many conservation groups are applauding China's efforts. "This destruction of ivory by China is a symbol of the government's growing responsiveness to the ivory crisis," the WCS said.

The researchers found fertile females as well as individuals at all stages of development, showing that the Atlantic species is reproducing in the frigid waters. The one-centimeter amphipods are smaller than respective Arctic species, meaning that the spread of the Atlantic crustaceans northward could reduce the volume of food available to Arctic predators.

Intensifying Storms Are
Contributing To Ongoing U.S. Wetlands Loss
The U.S. is losing wetlands at a rate of 80,000 acres per year, in part because of intensifying coastal storms and sea level rise, according to a new
government study
. From 2004 to 2009, the country lost more than 360,000 acres of freshwater and saltwater wetlands, a decline driven both by traditional factors, such as coastal development, as well as worsening storms and slowly rising seas, the study says. The rate of loss is a signal that government efforts to protect and restore wetlands are failing to keep pace with major environmental changes, experts told
The Washington Post
. The most pronounced wetlands losses were along the Gulf of Mexico, where major hurricanes have wreaked havoc on coastal lands. Along the Atlantic coast, a rapid increase in coastal development is funneling stormwater runoff into wetlands that cannot handle it, the study said. The loss rate of 80,000 acres annually represents a 25 percent increase over the rate of wetlands loss during 1998-2004, the last time government agencies examined the problem.

Microplastic Pollution Harms
Worms at Bottom of Food Chain, Study Finds
As plastic trash accumulates in ocean ecosystems, it may be damaging worms and other sensitive marine life at the bottom of the food chain, scientists report.
Two British studies found
that microplastics — tiny remnants, less than 5 mm in diameter, from the breakdown of plastic trash — made seafloor worms eat
Beach sediments churned by a lugworm
less and transferred pollutants from the plastics to the worms. Because they ate less, the
worms had less energy to invest in important functions
such as growth, reproduction, and churning sediments, one of their most important roles in the ocean ecosystem. The worms also
absorbed harmful chemicals from the debris
, including hydrocarbons, antimicrobials, and flame retardants, researchers said. Lugworms, often called the "earthworms of the sea," are considered an indicator species because they feed on ocean floor sediments. Microplastics have been accumulating in those sediments since the 1960s, and, although each particle is nearly invisible, taken together microplastics are the most abundant form of solid-waste pollution on the planet.

Poachers Killed 22,000
Elephants in Africa Last Year, Group Says

deaths from poaching were officially reported in Africa and that another 7,000 deaths went unreported. Although that number is a slight decrease from the 2011 estimate of 25,000 poaching deaths, CITES officials warn that poaching rates are far too high and could soon lead to local extinctions. Africa, which is currently home to roughly 500,000 elephants, could lose a fifth of its elephant population over the next 10 years, CITES says. "The estimated poaching rate of 7.4 percent in 2012 remains at an unsustainably high level, as it exceeds natural population growth rates (usually no more than 5 percent)," the report says.

and field data, researchers from Myanmar and Singapore said that the dense mangrove cover in the Ayeyarwady Delta declined from 2,623 square kilometers to 1,000 square kilometers in that 33-year period. The main cause was agriculture expansion and the researchers said that if rates of destruction continue at their current pace the delta's mangroves could be completely deforested by 2026. Reporting in the journal

conservation efforts. A major success story is the
leatherback sea turtle
, whose Atlantic population has recovered enough for the species to be considered only vulnerable, rather than critically endangered. The IUCN attributed the leatherback rebound to better protection of nesting beaches and reduced fisheries bycatch. The updated Red List contains more somber news, though, for the

, the national symbol of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The striped-legged forest giraffe, a species of okapi, is on the brink of extinction due mainly to the long, ongoing civil war in that country, which has led to increased poaching and loss of habitat.

Pollution From Plastic Trash
May Make Tiny Island a Superfund Site
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency plans to study whether plastic pollution on a small island in the Pacific Ocean is severe enough to

Tern Island marine debris
Oahu, is home to millions of seabirds, sea turtles, and the endangered Hawaiian monk seal. The U.S.-based Center for Biological Diversity asked the EPA to add the entire Northwestern Hawaiian Islands and parts of the so-called
Great Pacific Garbage Patch
to the list of federal Superfund sites due to extreme marine debris pollution, but the agency has only agreed to undertake an environmental study on Tern Island. The island is awash with debris ranging from plastic water bottles and bits of plastic to discarded fishing gear and home appliances. Studies have shown the trash can take a heavy toll on wildlife — seabirds, for example, often ingest bits of plastic after mistaking them for food and eventually die of starvation. The EPA study is the first step of a potentially years-long process to determine if the island qualifies for listing under the 1980 Superfund law.

U.S. Crushes Six Tons
Of Illegally Trafficked Elephant Ivory
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
destroyed six tons of elephant ivory
today that field agents seized over the past 25 years. The U.S. Ivory Crush event, which took place in Denver, Colorado,
marked the first time
the FWS has destroyed large quantities of ivory. The move was an attempt to send a clear message that the U.S. will not tolerate illegal ivory trafficking and the toll it's taking on elephant populations in Africa and Asia, the FWS said. Seized ivory is usually kept as evidence for prosecuting traffickers, then later used for education and training, but the FWS had accumulated far more ivory than it needs. The ivory that was crushed included full tusks, carved tusks, jewelry, carvings, and other objects, and came from at least 2,000 poached elephants, the FWS estimates.

Disturbed Tropical Forests
Are Slow to Regain Plant Biodiversity
In tropical forests that are regrowing after major disturbances, the ability to store carbon recovers more quickly than plant biodiversity,

. However, even after 80 years, recovering forests store less carbon than old-growth

forests, according to a study published in the
Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
This is likely because regenerating forests are often dominated by small, fast-growing trees and it may take centuries for larger trees, which hold more carbon, to become established, according to scientists from the Center for Ecology & Hydrology and Bournemouth University, who studied more than 600 recovering tropical forests. Tree species that are hallmarks of old-growth forests were rare or missing in the regrowing forests, the study showed. Since regenerating forests are often located far from old-growth forests and surrounded by farmland, it may be difficult for animals to move seeds between the forests, which may account for the lower plant biodiversity, researchers said.

Iranian conservationists have been involved in a decade-long campaign to protect the cheetahs and educate indigenous people living near them. But sanctions imposed by Western nations over Iran's nuclear program have hampered these efforts, making it difficult to secure international funding and equipment, such as camera traps.

Animals May Play Significant
Role in Carbon Cycling, Researchers Say
Wildlife may play a more important role in the global carbon cycle than researchers have previously given it credit for,
according to a study
from an international group of scientists. Although models generally include
Wikimedia Commons
Muskoxen in Alaska
carbon cycling by plants and microbes, they often ignore the ways animals contribute to the process. That's a mistake, says Oswald Schmitz, an ecologist at Yale who led the study, because the actions of wildlife can affect carbon cycling through "indirect multiplier effects." For example, the massive loss of trees in North America triggered by the pine beetle outbreak has caused a net carbon change on scale with British Columbia's current fossil fuel emissions, the researchers reported in
. And in the Arctic, where about 500 gigatons of carbon is stored in permafrost, large grazing mammals like caribou and muskoxen can help maintain the grasslands that have a high albedo and thus reflect more solar energy. "We're not saying that managing animals will offset these carbon emissions," Schmitz said. "What we're trying to say is the numbers are of a scale where it is worthwhile to start thinking about how animals could be managed to accomplish that."

Agricultural Ammonia Emissions
Threatening U.S. National Parks, Study Finds
Ammonia emissions from agricultural fertilizers are threatening sensitive ecosystems in U.S. national parks, a
study led by Harvard researchers
has found. Thirty-eight national parks are seeing nitrogen deposition levels at or above the threshold for ecological damage,
Great Smoky Mountains N.P.
the study says.
In natural ecosystems, excess nitrogen can disrupt nutrient cycling in soil
, cause algal overgrowth, and make aquatic environments acidic. While some of that nitrogen comes in the form of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from power plants and vehicle exhaust, existing air quality regulations and new clean energy technologies are helping reduce NOx emissions. Ammonia emissions from agricultural operations, however, are expected to climb as demand for food and biofuels surges. Daniel Jacob, who led the study, said that because ammonia is volatile, only 10 percent of the nitrogen makes it into the food, with much of it escaping through the atmosphere and being deposited across the landscape. According to the report, published in
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
, hardwood trees, such as those shown above, are most sensitive to excess nitrogen in eastern temperate forests, while in western national parks lichens appear to suffer first.

Nutrient Recycling by Sponges
Is Vital in Sustaining Reefs, Study Says
Sponges are the unsung heroes of coral reefs, helping the vibrant ecosystems thrive in the marine equivalent of a desert, a Dutch team
working in the Caribbean has found
. Scientists had long questioned how reefs, some
of the most productive communities on earth, were able to survive in low-nutrient tropical seas. Bacteria help recycle some nutrients, but the so-called "microbial loop" can't account for the high rates of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorous recycling needed to maintain a coral reef, researchers say. Sponges fill that void by drawing in plankton and organic matter expelled by the corals and shedding cells that other reef organisms ingest as food, the researchers
report in
. The "sponge loop," as the Dutch team calls the process, recycles 10 times more organic material than bacteria do and produces as many nutrients as all other primary producers in a coral reef combined, they say.

Using camera traps, bushmeat surveys, and DNA analyses, researchers from Panthera, the Wildlife Conservation Society, and other groups completed the first-ever survey of 12 small carnivore species throughout the country. The study found two species — the common slender mongoose and the Cameroon cusimanse — that hadn't been found in Gabon before, and it documented an extended range for the Egyptian mongoose. "It appears that these species are widespread and not currently threatened, but the proximity of many small carnivores to human settlements and the growing bushmeat trade could potentially impact these populations," said Wildlife Conservation Society researcher Fiona Maisels, who co-authored the study. "These new findings will help inform future management."

The Partnership to Save Africa's Elephants, which includes the governments of seven African nations, will fund programs that scale up anti-poaching enforcement, combat trafficking at ports and markets with more enforcement and harsher penalties, and curb the demand for illegal ivory with ad campaigns aimed at consumers in China, Vietnam, and other nations.

Under a pair of agreements with the non-profit Center for Biological Diversity, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service also has consented to a plan under which Mexican gray wolves that cross the U.S.-Mexico border and establish territories in Arizona and New Mexico will no longer be captured by U.S. authorities. The agency will also start releasing captive Mexican gray wolves into Gila National Forest and allow them to establish territories throughout much of New Mexico and Arizona. That rule, set to be finalized by January 2015, significantly expands the habitat for a
beleaguered population of about 75 Mexican gray wolves
in those states. Wildlife ecologists have been advocating for such measures, saying increased protections and expanded territories are essential to the recovery of the Mexican wolf population, but states in the region have strongly opposed such an expansion.

Bears Using Wildlife Corridors
In Canadian Park, Genetic Tests Show
Genetic testing has revealed that bears in Canada's Banff National Park
routinely cross the bridges and underpasses along the Trans-Canada Highway
, evidence that the ecological corridors provide safe
A grizzly passes through a Banff underpass
passage along a busy roadway that otherwise
threatens to fragment wildlife habitat
. Using 420 wire snag "hair traps" and 497 rub trees at 20 crossings to collect hair from passing bears, researchers from Montana State University determined that 15 individual grizzly bears and 17 individual black bears used the passages over a three-year period. According to researchers, those accounted for about 20 percent of the park's bear populations, suggesting the passageways are providing enough connectivity to maintain a healthy ecosystem for bears and other large mammals. Twenty-five passages
were installed in the 1990s
when the government widened a highway that includes a 100-mile stretch bisecting Banff.

Too Many Urban Beehives
May Do More Harm Than Good, Experts Say
A surge in urban beekeeping
may be doing more harm than good to honeybee populations
, according to UK scientists. As
the number of rooftop hives increases in cities worldwide
— including London, where there are
Matthias Walendy
A Berlin beekeeper
now 10 hives per square kilometer — two researchers from the University of Sussex warn that too many hives can be detrimental.
Writing in
The Biologist
, the magazine of the Society of Biology, they suggest that inexperienced beekeepers can create conditions in which there isn't enough food for their insects. "If there are too many colonies in an area, then the food supply will be insufficient," Francis Ratnieks, a professor at the university's Laboratory of Apiculture and Social Insects, told the BBC. "This will mean that colonies do not thrive, and may also affect other species that also visit flowers."

This episode has a lot of twists & turns. What You think will happen & what actually happens will surprise you. The actors & writters did an excellent job! Grab a cup of tea,go to the sea side on a dark foggy night & snuggle up in a blanket while listening to this mystery.Look out to sea for distant lights & listen to fog horns. I suggest you DONT go by your self. This is a real sailors yarn.... | |

I've been commenting a lot on how I was able to see the end coming a mile away. The same is true here. I don't claim to be unusually prescient or savvy, but I am a big fan of the mystery/fantasy/horror/sci-fi anthology genre. The Twilight Zone, Tales from the Crypt, the Outer Limits, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, all that stuff. And so, yes, I did see the writing on the wall by the end of Act I because I'm used to this kind of story. I agree with Kathy that it was well-written and well-acted. Listen carefully; it's a rare episode in that E.G. Marshall lies to the listener about certain plot points. Dream sequences but no supernatural elements. | |
Andy, 2011-11-23 11:56:49 |
Really wasn't looking forward to this one. I generally can't stand ship tales. But this was pretty hard-hitting. A ship's captain, who was once scalped by Indians but somehow survived, albeit with his head in a fairly disfigured shape, brings his wife on board for a nefarious mission to Africa that involves selling slaves. He keeps her locked up in their cabin, and becomes increasingly paranoid that every man on board wants to have her. With his brute strength he embarks on a jealous, murderous rage, intent on making the ship their own personal paradise. Gotta say, it kept me interested... | |
Tony, 2012-02-23 18:23:00 |
To elaborate on the three previous comments would be frivolous. They describe "Sea Fever" to the tee. The greatest compliment that I can give an episode is if I would recommend it to someone as what I refer to as a "first listen." This episode fits that category. | |
Davy Joe, 2012-07-04 00:54:53 |
Excellent sound effects really help to add realism to this episode. I love a good OTR ship tale and this one is excellent. | |
Wes, 2012-09-05 04:53:48 |
A terrific tale of a sea voyage where the captian is a very jealous man. He brings his wife on board which causes terrific problems. | |
Giovanni, 2012-12-12 16:53:42 |
How to kill all on a ship, and why. | |
Fuston, 2012-12-12 19:16:42 |
A jealous sea captain sends men to their deaths for even looking at his wife. Unfortunately, some men just can't resist. | |
Jeff Alarcon, 2013-01-17 09:21:31 |
This is another version of the story "Walking Shadows" by Alfred Noyes which was done a bit better as "The Log of the Evening Star" on Escape. A lot of good dialog in this one and none too slow but they pissed away the big shock with a filtered "ghost voice"... The simple revelation of the captain alone in his cabin, speaking as though to his wife - as seen by the last survivor - would have worked better. Then they beat us over the head with the point several times (Yes, his wife is dead. She was dead before the voyage. Yes, we got that...) before the captain follows her. Still looking for a few really good episodes. | |
Bing Bachini, 2013-01-17 09:22:40 |
A sea captain takes his wife with him wherever he goes, but protects her most jealously. There is a reson for the old nautical superstition about women on board a sailing ship. Here we discover why, and the disturbing consequences. I really enjoy these historical episodes. | |
Bernadette, 2013-01-17 09:37:40 |
One of the better episodes for evoking atmosphere. As my home is not air-conditioned, I especially enjoy listening to this episode whenever my area experiences an extreme heat or cold spell. The wind, waves, water, and especially the story line indeed provide some well needed chills (when it's hot, of course). | |
beenolas, 2013-07-24 00:26:59 |
I thought it ironic that the captain was jealous of anyone trying to look at his wife, when his wife wasn't even there. Quite the psychotic person, but it sounds like the type of person who would run a ship like that. | |
Alec, 2014-01-31 10:51:09 |
This is one of the best episodes I've listened to so far. If you notice, the captain's wife never talks to any of the crew members, and in the end you learn why. | |

SUFFOLK -- The Fire Marshal's Office is looking into what caused a fire at a vacant farmhouse Saturday night.
Fire and rescue crews were alerted to a fire in the 800 block of Longstreet Lane just before 8:30 pm. Units arrived shortly after and were able to contain the fire to the front of the two-story farmhouse.
Engines 1, 4 and 7, Tankers 1 and 7, Battalion 1, EMS 1, and Medic 7 responded to the scene.
There were no injuries reported, but police blocked off the roadway for a short time.
No other details have been released about a potential cause of the fire.

As the ace starter for back-to-back College World Series champion South Carolina, Michael Roth was a big name in the college baseball world before being drafted by the Angels last year. A big enough name to make him a catfishing victim, it turns out.
Roth told Bill Shaikin of the Los Angeles Times about his experience, which started with a text message from someone in the summer of 2010:
That started a stream of flattering texts and alluring phone calls from a woman Roth never had met, including the requisite visits that inevitably were canceled at the last minute.
Roth said he sensed something fishy within a few weeks. He played along for a year, in the process discovering that three of his college teammates also had been in touch with the same woman, who claimed her name was Hope Porter.
Roth apparently never figured out the real source behind the Porter identity, and he's long since moved on. He also indicated that while he does feel some sympathy for Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, he feels Te'o was pretty gullible for letting it go so far.
The 23-year-old Roth was the Angels' ninth-round pick in last year's draft. While he was an excellent college pitcher, pro scouts didn't think too highly of his stuff and he's viewed as a long shot to reach the majors and stick.
- humanexcrement - Mar 9, 2013 at 3:53 PM
What's with the Angels and fish imagery? From Tim Salmon to Mike Trout, and now their top prospect is getting "catfished"? Maybe they're a bouillabaisseball team.
- sophiethegreatdane - Mar 9, 2013 at 6:24 PM
Fantastic! And I'm not just saying that for the halibut.
- dmcmillan2286 - Mar 10, 2013 at 10:02 PM
enough carping about the fishy connection…
- tfbuckfutter - Mar 9, 2013 at 3:56 PM
From what I have ascertained from following the Monti Teo story….this means that he is gay and not as good at the sport he plays as he was before the catfishing, right?
- cosanostra71 - Mar 9, 2013 at 4:38 PM
Te'o's play is being regarded as lesser because of his awful performance against Alabama in the National Championship Game, and was seen that way even before that whole thing started.
- tfbuckfutter - Mar 9, 2013 at 5:06 PM
Crap goes in the sewer, not all over my jokes.
- cosanostra71 - Mar 9, 2013 at 5:35 PM

- anthonyverna - Mar 9, 2013 at 5:18 PM
I don't think it counts as catfishing if he didn't bite. It doesn't sound as if he tried to meet or was distraught or called MTV. It sounds as if he moved on and lived life.
- tfbuckfutter - Mar 9, 2013 at 5:23 PM
"including the requisite visits that inevitably were canceled at the last minute."
I think that means he intended to meet.

Do you have a throbbing sensation on only one side of your head or neck? Do you feel pain in your sinuses or is the pain more generalized throughout your entire head? Are your eyes sensitive to bright light? By answering these and other question about the source and symptoms of your headache, you and your physician will be able to uncover the type of headache you have and which treatment or medication will work best. Finding the best treatment option for you or your care recipient includes, going into a doctor's appointment prepared with details about your headache. It is becoming increasingly essential to have this information readily available for your doctor given today's time limitations on visits.
Unknown to many, there are basically three categories a headache can fall under: Tension-type, Vascular, or Organically caused, according to the National Headache Foundation fact sheet.
Tension-type- An ache located where the head and neck muscles meet. There are two kinds of tension-type headaches, episodic and chronic. Episodic tension-headache is recurrent headache episodes lasting minutes to days. The pain is typically pressing or tightening with mild to moderate intensity, bilateral in location and is not made worse with routine physical activity. Chronic tension-type headaches are present for at least 15 days per month for at least 6 months. The pain is typically pressing or tightening with mild to moderate intensity, bilateral in location, and is not made worse with routine physical activity.
Vascular- The headache category that includes, migraines and cluster headaches, and is thought to involve abnormal function of the brain's blood vessels or vascular system. Symptoms of migraine headaches include: vomiting, nausea and sensitivity to light and sound.
Organically-caused- Evidence that a more serious complication exists such as: a tumor or infection. The pain is mostly dull and general in quality and can last anywhere from a short to long period of time.
Before going to see your physician, The National Headache Foundation recommends keeping a diary about you or your care recipient's headaches. If you or your care recipient is currently seeking treatment for your headache, record that information as well. The diary should include specific details about your headache including:
Information about your headache and general medical history.
Record and track the attacks and what you did to treat them, include:
Symptoms (i.e. vomiting or pain between eyes)
Triggers (i.e. after you ate chocolate)
Impact on your life (i.e. amount of days lost at work)
Record what medication you took (i.e. over-the-counter sinus medicine)
Write down when you took the medication
If it was effective in relieving pain or symptoms
How long the medication worked
By learning the triggers and patterns of your headache, you will feel more in control and less of a slave to pain. It will also enable you and your doctor to prescribe the best treatment option for you or your care recipient. Advances in biofeedback, relaxation, and other preventative techniques offer migraine sufferers a means to prevent a headache rather than just treat one after it's onset.

Found a basket case 58 mercury 2 door monterey is it worth doing anything with? Is it worth parting out the chrome parts?
Question type: General
All parts seem to be there, crhome is good but some pitted. All emblems look complete and solid. interior is shot from mice. motor is like a solid iron anchor. I have a few more pics. It has a V8 from what I can tell. Hard to look at as it was covered in leaves and pine needles. Anything worth pulling off the car? I hate to see an oldie like this go to the crusher!

Well, there are a few questions... which engine,360 or 400 hp. Merc-o-matic transmission or standard with overdrive; and what about A/C? With these questions answered, you can see what the restored value would be. If you got it running to average condition, it could bring up to $7500. I have not seen any of these go for over $20k in absolute show condition! I see a car in the woods that seems to be resting on the floor pan. RUST! maybe most of it. Is the engine frozen... big bucks and then you get to the tranny. Unless you are a full blown body man, and can do most of the labor yourself, I don't see how you get this up and running for less that $7000-$8000. You will have to decide it it is worth the time and money. I am not even sure if you could make any money just parting it out since you didn't say how much you have to pay for it.. Personnel I would pass on it. Good luck. '

When I go after an old car it's because I like it. I'm not looking for an investment. I think the car is cool so I buy it & fix it. If it costs more to fix than "book value" who cares? I have a car that I like & enjoy. If you like it, I say go for it. -Jim

Nike Air Max 90 – Bamboo – Medium Olive
July 19, 2012 BY Aaron Hope / 0 / 5
Nike Sportswear currently has several different 'Infrared' versions waiting in the wings, but ironically enough, none of them are done in the basic Nike Air Max 90 style. So while the signature colorway ushers in a few new variations on this all-timer, the classic AM90 shape is fre...Read More

Although it was introduced in the 1970's, digital camouflage print continues to have a futuristic air about it mainly due to the pixelated micropatterns we associate with the digital space. Seems to be a perfect fit for the Insta Pump Fury, a shoe that was certainly ahead of its own time...Read More

One Hour Book Bag
What materials did you use? Use medium weight fabric for the exterior and the interior of the bag for a sturdy book bag. Use 4 #3 grommets (7/16") to hold the knotted straps.
What are you most proud of? Simplicity! The pattern is so simple I can make up six or seven in an evening after working all day, starting at 5:00 PM and fix supper in the middle of my evening and still get to bed at a reasonable time. I work with a group of women who get together and we sew bags for charity work. This bag is perfect for working assembly line with several women and there is work for the non-sewing women, also.

Legal eagles to offer free aid to bridge access gap
Tennessee's lawyers are raising the bar in their service to the poor.
Hundreds of attorneys will offer free legal service in 45 events across the state during Pro Bono Public Service Day on April 4.
The Tennessee Bar Association calls it the "largest number of lawyers providing (free) legal assistance on one day in Tennessee history."
"The response has just been so heartwarming, you can't believe it," Tennessee Bar Association president Buck Lewis said of the collaboration among state and local bar associations, legal aid groups and judges.
Attorneys will do everything from writing simple wills and living wills to pointing folks in the right direction to get their problems solved.
Memphis attorneys typically command a $200-$250 hourly rate. Lewis conservatively estimates that attorneys statewide will provide $450,000 of free service on April 4.
When the economy "fell off the cliff" after Labor Day, Lewis said, "that heightened a lot of sensitivity to the need out there. People going through foreclosure and losing their jobs. It's not business as usual anymore."
The Bar Association estimates that 700,000 legal problems were unmet in Tennessee last year.
The state's legal-service agencies have waiting lists and must turn away more than 40 percent of the people seeking help, according to the bar.
Lewis, 53, of Memphis, an attorney with Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz, became bar president in June. He made access to justice a priority of his tenure.
The Tennessee Supreme Court has thrown its support behind the yearlong Justice4All campaign.
"The court has announced access to justice is its No. 1 priority," Lewis said.
The campaign comprises four parts: Educate, collaborate, participate and legislate.
The state Bar Association has pushed one bill through the General Assembly to the governor's desk. It would end a prohibition against lawyers employed by the state -- more than 400 attorneys -- from providing pro bono work.
And the association has asked the state Supreme Court to adopt ethics rules that will promote more pro bono -- for the public good -- work.
Most of the people seeking help on April 4 will likely have problems involving debt or family law, including domestic abuse and violence, Lewis said.
"People tend to think these people are helpless," he said. "They're not. Some are very able and very intelligent. If you can point them in the right direction, they can help themselves."
If the problem is more difficult and the person is indigent, "we will then make it a pro bono case and ask somebody to take it on as a case," Lewis said.
Free legal help
Five of the 45 events offering free legal service will be in Memphis on April 3-4.
Legal Lines Call-In Program, WREG Channel 3, 4-6:30 p.m. April 3. Number to call is (800) 753-9734.
Wills for Heroes at Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library, 3030 Poplar. Simple wills for police, firefighters and emergency workers. 9:15 a.m. April 4.
Legal Clinic, also at Central Library. At 9:15 a.m. April 4.
Juvenile Court Clinic at Binghamton United Methodist Church, 258 N. Merton. 1-4 p.m. April 4.
Advanced Directives (including living wills and powers of attorney), 2-4 p.m. April 4 at Signature Nursing Home, 1150 Dovecrest; St. Francis Nursing Home, 5959 Park; King's Daughters & Sons Nursing Home, 1467 E. McLemore; Cordova Estates Assisted Living, 1535 Appling Care Lane; and Germantown Plantation Senior Living, 9293 Poplar.
PLUS: Race Judicata 5K Run/Walk, benefiting Memphis Area Legal Services. Starts at Mason YMCA, 3548 Walker. Registration begins at 8 a.m.; race starts at 10 a.m. April 4.

Mode profile imaging and loss measurement for uniform and tapered single-mode 3D waveguides in diffusive photopolymer |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 6, pp. 6575-6583 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (1101 KB)
We demonstrate single-mode uniform and parabolically tapered three-dimensional waveguides fabricated via direct-write lithography in diffusion-based photopolymers. Modulation of the writing power is shown to compensate Beer-Lambert absorption in the single-photon initiator and to provide precise control of modal tapers. A laminated sample preparation is introduced to enable full 3D characterization of these modal tapers without the need for sample polishing which is difficult for this class of polymer. The accuracy and repeatability of this modal characterization is shown to allow precise measurement of propagation loss from single samples. These testing procedures are used to demonstrate single-mode waveguides with 0.147 dB/cm excess propagation loss and symmetrical tapers up to 1:2.5 using 1.5 microwatts of continuous write power.

One of the things I've looked at here over the past couple years from time to time is what effect starting field position has had on how effective the Titans have been at scoring or conceding points. I think the first time I did it was when I tried to compare how the offense fared in 2009 under Kerry Collins to how it fared under Vince Young, and I've kept it up since. I actually planned this post as one of my bye week updates, but didn't get the chance to write it then. Offensive coordinator Chris Palmer's firing makes now a great time to look at it, though, because when I got the chance to run the numbers, the comparison to 2011 was striking.
The methodology is basically the same it's been in the past. Touchdowns are worth 7 points. Made field goals are worth 3 points. Missed field goals are worth 2 points. All other drives are worth 0 points. End of half/game drives ending in kneeldowns are excluded, as are desperation drives that don't end in points (e.g., the final drive against Jacksonville last week). I'm not trying to cheat the numbers in any way, and frankly the results surprised me.
So, let's see those results. Chart? Chart.
2012 | 2011 | |||||
# Drives | Pct | Pts Per Drive | Zone | # Drives | Pct | Pts Per Drive |
36 | 31.0% | 0.92 | 1-19 | 41 | 23.6% | 1.49 |
29 | 24.8% | 1.52 | 20 | 48 | 27.6% | 1.10 |
43 | 36.8% | 2.28 | 21-49 | 66 | 37.9% | 2.17 |
9 | 7.7% | 4.44 | 50+ | 19 | 10.9% | 2.42 |
What do we see here?
First, it's worth keeping in mind we're dealing with relatively small sample sizes that can see moderately-sizable swings even from game to game. Kicking a field goal after the early interception of Chad Henne against the Jaguars lowered the points per drive starting at or beyond the 50 by 0.19 on the season. The sample sizes on the other side of the 50 are larger, thus less prone to skewing by a single drive, but I wouldn't be too surprised if I re-ran the numbers next week and found one of them had changed by that much. These are indicative, not gospel.
That said, look at just how many drives are starting inside the 20, and just how bad the Titans are there. When I ran the numbers for 2011, I found something weird last year-both the Titans and their opponents did better on on drives starting inside the 20 than they did on drives starting on the 20. I'll run with the defense numbers later, but that's not been the case for either the Titans or their opponents this year. It's also not the case that a particularly large number of backed-up drives are making the Titans look worse than they are. Even on drives starting between the 16 and the 19, the Titans are averaging only 0.69 points. The sample size for that subset is of course not large (13), but it does give an indication of the problem.
Why are the Titans starting so many drives inside their own 20, then? Well, there are two culprits. The first is kickoff returns. But, Tom, average starting field position for the offense after a kickoff is up this year, to 21.4 from 20.9. Correct, but averages are funky things. Let's take a look at the distribution of where the Titans have started after kickoffs this year compared to last year. Chart? Chart.
2012 | 2011 | ||||
# Returns | Pct | Zone | # Returns | Pct | |
17 | 25.8% | 1-19 | 10 | 15.2% | |
25 | 37.9% | 20 | 40 | 60.6% | |
23 | 34.8% | 21-49 | 16 | 24.2% | |
1 | 1.5% | 50+ | 1 | 1.5% |
And there's the rub. Where Reynaud produces on average slightly better results (an extra half-yard average on 60-something kickoff returns is nothing to completely hate), he seems to actually return many more kicks. And while some of those returns to beyond the 20 and help the offense, too many of them end up short of the 20.
As for the second culprit, the other big way the Titans get the ball back is when the other team punts. Here's where the Titans have started after a punt this year compared to last year:
2012 | 2011 | ||||
# Post-Punt Drives | Pct | Zone | # Post-Punt Drives | Pct | |
17 | 47.2% | 1-19 | 26 | 32.9% | |
3 | 8.3% | 20 | 7 | 8.9% | |
15 | 41.7% | 21-49 | 40 | 50.6% | |
1 | 2.8% | 50+ | 6 | 7.6% |
Ah, so it's still Darius Reynaud's fault then? Not so fast, midget! By Football Outsiders numbers, the Titans currently have 5.1 points of Punt Return value, up from 3.4 points last year. Granted, that includes things like fumbles and return scores that aren't included in this analysis. By conventional numbers, Reynaud is averaging 8.7 yards per punt return compared to Marc Mariani's 10.7 last year. But without Mariani's punt return score, which doesn't matter for field position, he averaged 9.1 yards per return. That's more or less a wash. No, the second culprit is not the punt return, but where the punts are kicked from. And that culprit is the defense. The Titans have started more drives backed up because the defense is giving up more yards, letting teams punt from closer to the Titans' goalline.
Conclusion-Type Things
The Titans' offense has been sort of respectable, at least as good or better than they were last year, at converting drives into points, except when they start inside their own 20. They're starting inside their own 20 a lot more often this year than they were last year. Starting inside their own 20 is primarily caused by two things: more kickoff returns that don't make it out to the 20 and too many punts inside the 20 because opponents are punting from so close to the end zone. Unless those things change or the Titans become more efficient at converting particularly bad field position into points, the Titans' offense is likely to struggle just as much under Dowell Loggains as it did under Chris Palmer.
I'll cover field position and defense in another post.
