The Randall Division of Cell and Molecular Biophysics is a strongly interdisciplinary research division in the School of Biomedical & Health Sciences at King's College London. The Division includes a variety of research groups addressing different topics within this field. The BRIL project aims to enhance the repository facilities at the Randall Division by: o Embedding the repository within the researchers' day-to-day research and experimental practices. o Allowing data and metadata to be captured in automated fashion, for example from equipment or processing and analysis software o Allowing the structure of experimental processes as a whole to be captured, modelled and stored within the repository, rather than just the individual data sets. o Enhancing browse and access facilities so that users can explore and re-use these complex representations, and data exchange facilities to increase interoperability with other repositories in biomedical disciplines. o Integrating the repository into the wider King's infrastructure, and in particular the Institutional preservation practices and policies As well as enhancing this specific repository to address the needs and practices of the targeted research groups, we will also ensure that the architecture and software components produced are sufficiently generic and can be exploited and enhanced in other disciplines and institutions.

BRII will enable efficient sharing of research management information using semantic web technologies. Ontologies and taxonomies will define and describe data objects (eg people, research groups, funding agencies, publications, research 'themes') to forge connections between them and provide web-based services to disseminate and reuse this information in new contexts. It will create efficiencies, greater accuracy of data, and better discovery of research activities at Oxford. University data sources will include academic departments and central services. Half the project will be devoted to stakeholder input, collaboration and 'buy-in' aimed at evolving current work practices and processes. Project start date: 2008-11-03. Project end date: 2010-04-03.

In response to the ever increasing complexity of integrated learning and teaching systems, there is an equally increasing demand for institutions to be able to manage person and group identity, sharing this information between appropriate systems components, or bricks, in an open and sustainable fashion in order to improve the student experience. BEWT intends to benefit from the work of the contributors of the CETIS IMS Enterprise Webservices Toolkit (CETIS ES SDK) by integrating same into the UHI institutional VLE, Bodington, which is an important VLE used by many UK HE and FE institutions for teaching and learning. UHI also manages student and staff information through its institutional SRS, SITS:Vision, which interacts with other UHI elearning service bricks through a middleware brick called Siva which allows SRS information to drive account management in the related bricks, including the Bodington VLE. In addition to utilizing the CETIS ES SDK while extending Bodington and Siva, two core bricks in the UHI elearning service wall, BEWT will help to standardize Bodington to conform to using IME ES; this in turn would be valuable to other systems integrators seeking to tie Bodington into other IMS ES aware bricks. Also, BEWT will provide important evaluative feedback, generated through real use of the toolkit, back to the CETIS ES SDK developers. Finally, there should be an impact on the wider VLE community to the benefits of using IMS ES in elearning scenarios. Project start date: 2005-04-01. Project end date: 2005-09-30.

beginners guide to digital preservation
Beginner's Guide to Digital Preservation was created for the JISC by UKOLN as part of a project that ran from April to September 2010. A blog (the JISC Beginners Guide to Digital Preservation project blog) has been written about the process of putting together the guide. The aim of this guide is to provide digital preservation information for members of the JISC community who arenÆt active in the area of digital preservation. It takes a straightforward approach to the subject area, is pragmatic and applicable to those who are new to the topic area.

automatic metadata generation
Use cases for the automatic generation and use of metadata will be developed using an approach that maximises the use of current community knowledge. Through knowledge-gathering workshops, commissioned expert reports, and surveys of the wider community it will be possible to identify a number of key use cases defining how metadata can be automatically gathered and how that metadata will be used. This approach builds on existing expertise and allows the focus to be on gathering use cases, analysing them, identifying tools and services, prioritising them, and assessing the main costs and benefits. The project will deliver general guidance for service providers in HE, a synthesis of previous work on automated metadata generation and a set of recommendations on tools and services required in the future.

Building on the British Library's ground-breaking work in creating the first online fully-searchable digital library of sound recordings from one of the world's treasure houses of audio heritage, these nine new digital collections will make available around 4,200 hours of audio content. The recordings, which range from canonical classical repertoire to interviews with Holocaust survivors, will be supported by images and added value features to enhance the existing service and transform teaching, learning and research. The British Library Archival Sound Recordings (ASR) 2 draws once again on the wealth and diversity of the library's audio holdings. The nine collections chosen for this e-resource reflect the broad remit of the archive, covering field recordings, music recordings and oral history to name just three, but they also provide deeper tranches of content to complement the current ASR collections. The Sony Radio Awards news and current affairs material builds on the Sony Radio Awards radio drama package included in the first ASR project to deepen the online resource documenting UK radio broadcasting. The Decca West African recordings further enrich the three Africa-related packages already available in the resource, while the historic recordings of canonical classical repertoire complement the archive of recorded performances of Beethoven String Quartets included in the first project. Each of the collections contains material which is unique or not easy to access elsewhere. By deepening the critical mass of archival audio material for online access, the service meets the needs of many more users. It also increases the visibility of audio content in the digital domain and its availability for repurposing to teachers, researchers and lifelong learners. Project start date: 2007-01-01.

ark project
Analysing Raptor at Kent (ARK) is a project adopting the production version of the Raptor toolkit and using it to improve our understanding of the demand for and use of electronic journals and databases, by the staff and students of the University of Kent. Raptor reports allow assessment of the usage of each Academic school, which can use this data to ensure provision of resources appropriate to the needs of users and to improve internal charging models. The project builds on the work of the successful Raptor pilot programme at Kent. The pilot established the viability of running a pre-release version of the Raptor toolkit, on the UniversityÆs servers. This pilot also made a preliminary assessment of management overheads, software reliability, response times, support costs and the usefulness of Raptor reports to the needs of the Library and IT services.

An Alternate Reality Game (ARG) consists of three elements: a series of challenges, an underlying narrative, and a collaborative community. While all three elements will be facilitated online, many challenges take place in the real world, and may be collaborative or individual. The ongoing story provides coherence to the challenges, and the collaborative community provides a forum for students to share information, provide hints for each other and work together. In this pilot the focus will be a single area of induction: library and information skills. The ARGOSI project aims to examine the potential of ARGs as an engaging alternative method of supporting student orientation, socialisation and induction. The project will address four research objectives. These consider the issue of whether an ARG is an effective and appropriate medium for enabling students to: - Meet the intended learning outcomes of the library and information skills induction; - Create social networks during the induction period; improve their confidence in navigating the city and university campus; - Engage in, and enjoy, the induction experience.

ARCOMEM is a EU-funded research project. It is about memory institutions like archives, museums, and libraries in the age of the Social Web. Memory institutions are more important now than ever: as we face greater economic and environmental challenges we need our understanding of the past to help us navigate to a sustainable future. This is a core function of democracies, but this function faces stiff new challenges in face of the Social Web, and of the radical changes in information creation, communication and citizen involvement that currently characterise our information society (e.g., there are now more social network hits than Google searches).

The AIMSS project was based on work carried out in SUNCAT Phase 1. This looked at the ONIX for Serials formats, which were under development, for the transmission of information appertaining to serials from publishers/aggregators etc to participants in the chain including libraries. It was recognised that the format could be used to provide SUNCAT with up-to-date information on holdings of participating libraries. ONIX for Serials is an internationally developed, structured and extensible format for the transmission of data about serials. The ONIX for Serials formats have been piloted as part of their development but they have not been tested by UK libraries. Serials Solutions provides accurate data for more than 100 aggregators, publishers and subscription agents and SUNCAT, maintained by EDINA, is creating a union catalogue of serials (print and electronic) held by UK research libraries. The broad aims are to transmit information about serials subscriptions and update library records held in MARC 21 format. Project start date: 2005-10-01. Project end date: 2006-05-31.

AGROVOC was first developed in the 1980s as a multilingual structured thesaurus for all subject fields in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, food and related domains (e.g. environment). Its main purpose was to standardize the indexing process for the AGRIS database in order to make searching simpler and more efficient, and to guide the user to the most relevant resources. In the last 10 years, use of AGROVOC has considerably expanded to the point where it is now a tool for organization of explicit knowledge and development of ontologies and multilingual search functionality. AGROVOC has been transformed into a concept server as well as a term-based thesaurus. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: AGROVOC)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 0.1%.

I don't know anyone who hasn't wandered into the water with their relief zipper open at least once. It took me two times to really learn the lesson. (I use a lowered pzip.)
My personal dry suit advice - before launching walk into the water and immerse up to the neck. In addition for checking things like open zippers, it is also the easiest way to burp your suit and to figure out if you need to add or delete layers.

If the Orioles do complete the Bedard trade, word is they would likely then send All-Star second baseman Brian Roberts (.290, 12 HR, 57 RBIs, 50 SBs) to the Chicago Cubs for prospects, possibly outfielder Felix Pie and pitcher Sean Gallagher (3-1, 2.66 at Triple-A Iowa). Pie batted .362 with nine home runs and 43 RBIs at Triple-A Iowa but hit just .215 in 177 at-bats with the Cubs in 2007.
However, the Roberts deal appears to be waiting on completion of the Bedard deal.
This trade might help the Mariners outfield depth if they do go forward with a trade for Bedard.

Alaska Cruise Ship Tax Initiative, Measure 2 (August 2006)
The Alaska Cruise Ship Tax Initiative, also known as Measure 2, was on the August 22, 2006 ballot in Alaska as an indirect initiated state statute, where it was approved. The measure placed various taxes on cruise ships and cruise ship passengers.[1]
In 2009, an executive from Carnival Cruises announced that the firm was thinking about suing the State of Alaska over Measure 2. Carnival Cruises was concerned that the taxes imposed via Measure 2 were driving cruise ship companies out of Alaska and into more profitable areas.[2]
Patti Mackey, Executive Director of the Ketchikan Visitors Bureau, said, "I think Alaska has become a more difficult place for the cruise lines to do business. The tax and all of the associated regulations that were part of the ballot initiative are all part that equation, and certainly the economy right now isn't helping."
Ralph Samuels of Holland America said the costs related to Measure 2 "exacerbate" declining revenues in the cruise ship sector. Samuels claimed that declining revenue margins would result in cruise lines pulling their ships out of the state. Juneau Lawyer Joe Geldhof, who authored Measure 2, said Samuels was playing "Chicken Little politics." He elaborated, "People run around saying, 'The sky is falling, the sky is falling,' and after the chamber lunch, people say, 'The sky is falling we have to get something done'. Ralph is trying to create hysteria, to stampede legislators over the cliff and repeal the head tax."[3]
A lawsuit was filed against Measure 2 on September 18, 2009. According to the Alaska Attorney General, a legal challenge would not be able to kill the measure, but could change how the state legislature spends revenue from the tax. He stated, "The economic benefits of the cruise ship industry to Alaska are clear, but so are the passenger impacts on the state. The 1 million visitors a year this industry brings is a huge influx in a short period of time. The state and local communities spend significant amounts of money to host these visitors."[4]
On June 24, 2010, Gov. Sean Parnell (R) signed legislation that lowered the $46 tax to $34.50, with additional savings of $15 for ships that stop in certain locations.[5]
Election results
|Alaska Measure 2 (August 2006)
Election results via: Alaska Department of Elections
Text of measure
The language appeared on the ballot as:[1]
|This initiative would impose a $46 per person per voyage tax on large cruise ships to pay for vessel services. It would provide for the proceeds from the tax to be deposited in the state general fund and, subject to appropriation by the legislature, distributed to municipalities. It would levy a tax on cruise ship gambling activities in state waters. It would change the way cruise ship corporate income tax is calculated. It would require cruise ship operators to gather and report more information, and get a new type of permit for sewage, graywater or other wastewater before discharging in state marine waters. It would assess a $4 per passenger berth fee and require large cruise ships to have state-employed marine engineers (Ocean Rangers) licensed by the Coast Guard to observe health, safety and wastewater treatment and discharge operations. It would authorize citizen lawsuits against an owner or operator of a large cruise ship, or against the Department of Environmental Conservation, for an alleged violation of any permit condition, provision of environmental statutes or performance of duties. It would also enable a person who provides information leading to enforcement of the law to receive 25 to 50 percent of fines imposed. It would impose additional requirements on disclosures about on-ship promotions of shore-side businesses.
A group called Responsible Cruising in Alaska supported Measure 2.
Campaign contributions
Responsible Cruising in Alaska raised and spent just $8,497.[7]
The group opposed to the shipping tax was called Alaskans Protecting our Economy.
Campaign contributions
Alaskans Protecting our Economy raised and spent $1,357,924, with the largest single donation of $1,344,244 coming from the Northwest Cruiseship Association.

FRANCE'S FASCINATING ART: FROM THE MEDIEVAL CATHEDRALS TO POST-IMPRESSIONISM, all-day seminar, Saturday, March 28, 2015
France is unequaled for her range of artistic styles and accomplishments--always with unparalleled French elegance and sophistication. Journey vicariously as these lectures examine the highlights of architecture, sculpture, painting, and decorative arts in France, from the late Middle Ages through Post-Impressionism, concluding atop the Eiffel Tower.
1. Middle Ages: Romanesque building methods, monsters, and moral instruction at Toulouse, Tournus, Vézelay, and Mont St-Michel. Soaring Gothic cathedrals and sparkling stained glass at Notre-Dame-de-Paris, Chartres, the Sainte-Chapelle, and Beauvais, too skeletal to avoid collapse.
2. Renaissance and Baroque: Join French Renaissance royalty and enjoy life in the splendid châteaux and gardens of the Loire Valley at Chambord and Chenonceau. Dramatic Baroque paintings by Georges de la Tour and Nicholas Poussin. Visit with Louis XIV at the palace of Versailles.
3. Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, and Realism: The pendulum swung from light Rococo pastel fluff, to austere severe Neoclassicism, to Romantic escapes, and finally to everyday genre in Realist scenes. Boucher, David, Géricault, and Manet.
4. Impressionism and Post-Impressionism: The Impressionists painted in terms of light and atmospheric conditions, whereas the Post-Impressionists used color to express emotion and to analyze pictorial structure. Monet, Renoir, Degas, van Gogh, Gauguin, Cézanne, and Seurat.

Byrum Announces Candidacy for Ingham County Clerk
State Representative Barb Byrum (D-Onondaga) is announcing her candidacy for Ingham County Clerk.
Byrum says she wants to make the county clerk's office more customer friendly, transparent and accountable. She says her experience as the ranking Democrat on the House Redistricting and Elections committee qualifies her to enact reform. Byrum strongly opposes Republican sponsored legislation that would require all Michigan voters to show identification. She calls that an unconstitutional poll tax.
"If someone shows up to a poll to vote and they don't have their ID, all of those workers need to know that that person has a right to fill out an affidavit and then vote," Byrum says.
Byrum adds she'll also ensure the clerk's offices in Lansing and Mason each offer the same services. Byrum will appear on the ballot in the August 7 Democratic primary. Lansing city clerk Chris Swope says he will also run for the seat.

LOVE!I couldn't agree more with the previous reviewer - I'm obsessed too! This is the most perfect everyday necklace. Simple, yet unique. I love it so much that I bought 2 - the chain is extremely thin and delicate and I'd be so upset if it breaks, so I got an extra one as insurance...or it will be a beautiful gift for a friend!
So cute!I got this little necklace at thee Anthro store - I'm obsessed it with. It's delicate and it sparkle nicely. The pictures online do not do justice to how cute it looks in perfect. It's perfect to layer or to wear alone!

Versatile bronzed rose gold & dark pewter pieceSaw this in the store paired with a simple dress double-looped and have routinely done the same. This piece is extremely versatile, structured, has a good weight to it, and can be paired with almost anything in my closest. The colors adapt with warm or cool outfits, casual or business casual. I would probably not go too formal with it. It can be looped once, twice, or even three times if you can get it over your head. I've received many compliments in & outside of work. Wish it was a little less pricey, but I'm getting very good use out of it! P.S. the links are uniformly stacked- the online photo is a bit deceiving in showing some of them turned a couple different directions.
Simple but sophisticatedThis is a cool piece. Great addition to any wardrobe. The feel of the metal is slick

Great Everyday NecklaceLove this as a quick throw-on-and-go summer necklace. The quality is great - no fear of loosing fringe or beads. I like that it is neutral enough to go with everything, but the tassel/bead cluster is interesting enough to make any outfit a little more interesting. I know I'll get a lot of wear out of this!
Perfect statement pieceThis was my 1st Anthropologie purchase and I love it! It's neutral and pops against solid colors... Looks great against black! It's a tad heavy but you get used to it!

Beautiful in person - but way overpricedThis was paired with the Lola Cocoon Tunic in my local store. It has more gray in the beads and looks so much better in person. It is really beautiful. I purchased the dress and thought that the necklace would be a perfect touch...until I saw the price. I is not a $148 necklace (the dress was $158 - and totally worth it by the way). Maybe the beads are rare or something, but I was floored when I saw the price. The associate told me that several of the girls at the store wanted the necklace, but even with the discount they could not justify it. I am looking for a similar style somewhere else.
Great necklaceA piece of jewelry that is timeless. I went into Anthro today to pick up something else and all jewelry was 30% off only way to justify buying the necklace. I will say that this necklace is well made better than some other pieces I bought. The associate told me that they are trying to get better quality jewelry

Interesting piece that will go with anything!Great necklace. Interesting talking point, but also subtle and will go with anything. There is some give in the quill, but it is easily bent back into place. High quality jewelry.

Stunning!So lovely, it sparkles with hints of yellow and gold. Great purchase!

gives interset to any outfitsIt's an eye catching piece but not in a flashy way. Able to mix and match it with many blouses or dresses. Can also be layered with another shorter necklace.

The Producers (1967)
Singer: Don't be stupid, be a smarty. Come and join the Nazi party.
Leo Bloom: I'm in pain and I'm wet and I'm still hysterical!
[Searching for the sure-fire flop]
Max Bialystock: "Gregor Samsa awoke one morning to discover that he had been transformed into a giant cockroach." Nah, it's too good.
Max Bialystock: How could this happen? I was so careful. I picked the wrong play, the wrong director, the wrong cast. Where did I go right?
Roger De Bris: Ah, Bialystock and Bloom, I presume! Heh heh, forgive the pun!
Leo Bloom: [to Max] What pun?
Max Bialystock: Shut up, he thinks he's witty.
Max Bialystock: Shut up, I'm having a rhetorical conversation.
Franz Liebkind: Not many people know it, but the Fuhrer was a terrific dancer.
Leo Bloom: Actors are not animals! They're human beings!
Max Bialystock: They are? Have you ever eaten with one?
Franz Liebkind: Hitler... there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!
Roger De Bris: Will the dancing Hitlers please wait in the wings? We are only seeing singing Hitlers.
Max Bialystock: Roger, did you have a chance to read "Springtime for Hitler?"
Roger De Bris: [emerges from behind a partition wearing a dress] Remarkable, remarkable! A stunning piece of work.
Leo Bloom: [under his breath] Max... he's wearing a dress.
Max Bialystock: No kidding.
Roger De Bris: Did you know, I never knew that the Third Reich meant Germany. I mean it's just drenched with historical goodies like that... Oh dear, you're staring at my dress. I should explain. We are going to the choreographer's ball tonight and there's a prize for the best costume.
Carmen Giya: And we always win!
Roger De Bris: I don't know about tonight. I'm supposed to be the Grand Duchess Anastasia, but I think I look more like Tugboat Annie. What do you think, Mr. Bloom?
Leo Bloom: ...Where do you keep your wallet?
Lady: [during the Springtime for Hitler performance] Will you please, shut up!
Franz Liebkind: You shut up! You are the audience! I am the author! I OUTRANK you!
Max Bialystock: That's it, baby, when you've got it, flaunt it, flaunt it!
Max Bialystock: You have exactly ten seconds to change that look of disgusting pity into one of enormous respect!
Max Bialystock: Bloom, I'm drowning. Other men sail through life, Bialystock has struck a reef. Bloom, I'm going under. I'm condemned by a society that demands success when all I can offer is failure. Bloom, I'm reaching out to you. Don't send me to prison... HEEELLP!
[Leo Bloom walks in on Bialystock romancing Holdmethouchme]
Leo Bloom: Oh my God!
Max Bialystock: You mean "oops," don't you? Just say "oops" and get out!
Leo Bloom: ''stammering'' Ah-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

Leo Bloom: Ooh, I fell on my keys!
Franz Liebkind: [runs backstage to try to stop the play]
Stagehand: Hey, what can I do for you?
Franz Liebkind: You will please be unconscious.
[hits him on the head]
Max Bialystock: Leo, he who hesitates is poor!
Max Bialystock: Money is honey! Money is honey!
Max Bialystock: [smiling at Leo to calm him down] Well you know what they say, 'smile and the world smiles with you'
[looks at audience]
Max Bialystock: this man should be in a straight-jacket
Leo Bloom: I'm a nothing. I spend my life counting other people's money. People I'm smarter than. Better than! I want... I want...
Leo Bloom: I want everything I've ever seen in the movies!
The landlord: He who signs a lease must pay rent. That's the law.
Max Bialystock: You miserable wretch! How dare you take the last penny out of a poor man's pocket?
The landlord: I have to. I'm a landlord.
Max Bialystock: [to God] Oh, Lord, hear my plea; destroy him! He maketh a blight on the land!
The landlord: [also to God] Don't listen to him; he's crazy.
Jury Foreman: We find the defendants incredibly guilty.
Leo Bloom: My blanket! My blue blanket! Give me my blue blanket!

Leo Bloom: Uh, I beg your pardon?

Max Bialystock: They'll say, "A wuma wa wa wa wa!"
Max Bialystock: Max Bialystock is launching himself into little old lady land.
Max Bialystock: Thank you, I knew I could con you.
Leo Bloom: Let's assume, just for the moment, that you are a dishonest man.
Max Bialystock: Assume away.
Max Bialystock: That's exactly why we want to produce this play. To show the world the true Hitler, the Hitler you loved, the Hitler you knew, the Hitler with a song in his heart.
Max Bialystock: You're an accountant! You're in a noble profession! The word "count" is part of your title!
Concierge: Who d'ya want?
Leo Bloom: I beg your pardon?
Concierge: Who d'ya want? Nobody gets in the building unless I know who they want. I'm the "concierge". My husband used to be the "concierge", but he's dead. Now I'M the "concierge".
Max Bialystock: We are seeking Franz Liebkind.
Concierge: Oh... the Kraut! He's on the top floor, apartment 23.
Max Bialystock: Thank you...
Concierge: ...But you won't find him there... he's up on the roof with his boids. He keeps boids. Dirty... disgusting... filthy... lice-ridden boids. You used to be able to sit out on the stoop like a person. Not anymore! No, sir! Boids!... You get my drift?
Leo Bloom: We... uh... get your "drift". Thank you, madam.
Concierge: I'm not a "madam"! I'm a "concierge"!

All: THE QUICK FUSE!
Max Bialystock: Here's to failure
Leo Bloom: ...To failure
Drunk: Why, thank you! You're very kind!
Lorenzo St. DuBois: [after Goebbels throws a reefer into a vase, and a large explosion occurs] They try; man, how they try!
Franz Liebkind: Der Führer does not say, "Achtung, baby."
Franz Liebkind: Baby! Baby!... Why does he say this "baby"? The Führer has never said "baby". I did not write, "baby". What is it with this, "baby"?
Leo Bloom: [reading the title of the play for the first time] "Springtime for Hitler" a gay romp with Adolf and Eva at Berchtesgaden... Wow!
Hold me, Touch me: [locking the door to Max's office] Let's fool around.

Leo Bloom: Hysterical attacks have a way of severely depleting one's blood sugar.
Max Bialystock: They certainly do... they certainly do!
Max Bialystock: Don't you see, darling Bloom, glorious Bloom? It's so simple. STEP ONE: We find the worst play ever written, a surefire flop. STEP TWO: I raise a million bucks. Lots of little old ladies out there. STEP THREE: You go back to work on the books, two of them - one for the government, one for us. You can do it, Bloom; you're a wizard! STEP FOUR: We open on Broadway. And before you can say STEP FIVE, we *close* on Broadway! STEP SIX: We take our million bucks and fly to *Rio!*
Max Bialystock: [on "Springtime For Hitler"] ... It's practically a love-letter to Hitler!
Leo Bloom: Wow. This play wouldn't run a NIGHT!
Max Bialystock: A night? Are you kidding? This play's guaranteed to close on PAGE FOUR!
Lorenzo St. DuBois: I would like to sing this song, it's about love, and hate. Psychedelically speaking I am talking about the power.
One of singers: I was born in Düsseldorf and that is why they call me Rolf !
Max Bialystock: What did it get me? I'm wearing a cardboard belt.
Leo Bloom: Do you think he'll take the job?
Max Bialystock: ONLY if we ask him.
Roger De Bris: Just do what you do best.
Lorenzo St. DuBois: I can't do that here! That's why they put me away, man...
Roger De Bris: Oh, sing, sing!
Lorenzo St. DuBois: Love Power! Talkin' 'bout Love Power! The Power of a Sweet Flower... is gonna rule the Earth!
Lorenzo St. DuBois: And there'll be a Great Rebirth! Love is the Power that is mine...

The NHL announced Tuesday that the Bruins will host the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals Saturday night at 8 p.m. at TD Garden.
Both teams will be well-rested since they swept their respective conference semifinal series. The Bruins beat the Flyers in four straight, concluding their sweep last Friday night. They will have had seven days off before playing Saturday. The Lightning will be playing on even more rest, eliminating the Capitals on May 4 in four straight, a span of nine days between games.
Game 2 will also be in Boston Tuesday night at 8 p.m. before the series shifts to St. Petersburg for Games 3 and 4. The Lightning host the Bruins Thursday, May 19 at 8:00 p.m. ET and Saturday, May 21 at 1:30 p.m. ET at the St. Pete Times Forum.
If necessary, Game 5 is set for Monday, May 23 at 8:00 p.m. ET in Boston, while Game 6 will be back in Tampa Bay on Wednesday, May 25 at 8:00 p.m. ET, and Game 7 will be played in Boston on Friday, May 27 at 8:00 p.m. ET.

Tickets are available for purchase at the TD Garden Box Office, on www.bostonbruins.com or via phone by calling Ticketmaster at 800-745-3000. The Bruins say a limited number of tickets will likely be released from various NHL and team holds between now and the start of each game.

RODALE NEWS, EMMAUS, PA—People love butterfly bushes. They're beautiful, colorful, and there's no debating it, they draw tons of butterflies into your yard. But there are two big problems with these plants, explains Doug Tallamy, PhD, professor and chair of the department of entomology and wildlife ecology at University of Delaware in Newark, and author of Bringing Home Nature: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants (Timber Press, April, 2009). They stem from the fact that Nature never meant for these bushes to be here, so the plants aren't equipped to feed the beneficial bugs and birds in our region of the world. This disrupts the entire food web—and that can come back to bite us in the butt.
THE DETAILS: The first problem? The butterfly bush has been placed on a number of government and university invasive species lists because of its ability to spread easily and outcompete native plants. Originally from Asia, these plants have virtually no natural predators here, so they infest areas and crowd out native plants that provide food for native bugs, birds, and other animals. The second problem with the beloved bush? While it draws butterflies with its nectar, it does not supply butterfly larvae with food, which means they'll have to expend time and energy finding another place to lay their eggs. So if you want the best for those butterflies that visit your garden, it's good to have plants that offer not just the nectar, but also act as a host site. Especially since some of the plants that are better for butterflies are getting crowded out. "Many people think all plants are the same. But when invasive plants grow, they take up space native plants could occupy," says Tallamy. "We've got to put the right ones back where they belong."

We at American Iron Magazine are very concerned about the unwelcomed effects of the ethanol blended gasoline in our motorcycles, cars, trucks, boats and even lawn mowers. The US government has mandated an increasing percentage of ethanol in our gasoline, which we feel is a foolish decision.

The CastCoverZ! Broken Bones Club Helps Make Broken Bone Healing Fun and Community-Centric
The world leader in cast covers and patient-requested orthopedic gear announces a club for people who have broken a bone.
Hollister, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2011
Enduring a broken bone or sprain is painful enough, to add insult to injury having to wear an ugly, cumbersome cast, boot, splint or brace can make it worse. For these reasons CastCoverZ!, the leader in cast covers and the world's largest specialty retailer for providing orthopedic after-market products has created a club that brings together people of all ages who have one thing in common – they all have broken a bone.
Annette d. Giacomazzi, Founder and Owner of CastCoverZ!, describes the inspiration for creating the club, "My daughter has broken seven bones. When I listen to her talk about her injuries with other injured people, they speak a language that a lot of people don't speak. When I speak to customers I realize they feel better when I speak their language. There's something very comforting in having someone understand what a colles or talus fracture is. That's when I realized there is an accidental affinity among people who have suffered a broken bone. I wanted to infuse some fun and lightheartedness into an otherwise serious situation. The Broken Bones Club was a natural creation from that realization."
The Broken Bones Club concept may be new, but its significance is staggering when you look at these statistics. There are 7,000,000 fractures in the United States every year, combined soft tissue injuries (e.g.: ankle sprains, shoulder strains) and orthopedic surgeries (bunion, back and ACL repair surgery, among others) for a total that skyrockets to 60,000,000 people in the United States every year suffering from an orthopedic event.
"1 in 5 people in America are broken, casted, splinted, braced, booted or in a sling or on crutches, every year", says Annette d. Giacomazzi. "When you realized the numbers of Americans with broken bones is on the rise, the necessity for bringing together this community is in great demand!" A family friendly member's forum is planned for the near future and more branded gear.
Elements of The Broken Bones club membership include "Member of the Broken Bones Club" t-shirts, coffee mugs and a free downloadable, membership certificate at the CastCoverZ! website, http://www.castcoverz.com/broken_bones_club_cast_gear.php.
CastCoverz!â"¢ offers functional and fashionable products designed to cover casts, orthotic walking boots, splints and braces, as well as offer companion products that make a patient's life simple and bring relief, comfort and fun. CastShieldâ"¢ lets you shower with confidence and dignity, CastCooler® gives immediate relief from the itch and stench of/from wearing a cast, DryProâ"¢ lets you get back in the pool or go to the beach, and LemonAid® Crutches offers crutches in vibrant colors and a practical, yet fashionable crutch accessory line, CrutchWear®. CastCoverz! has been featured in Parenting Magazine, About.com, Mom Invented, Orthopedic This Week, Lower Extremity Review, KidzWorld, Newsday, and many more. CastCoverz! products are currently available at select orthopedic surgeon offices, such as TRIA, in Bloomington, Minnesota or at http://www.castcoverz.com. CastCoverz! ships world-wide and is represented in Benelux by Lomed.

SC sets Shari'a bar exams next January
MANILA—The Supreme Court has set the Shari'a Bar Examinations on January 19 and 26, 2014.
The announcement was contained in one-page court resolution dated July 2, 2013 and signed by clerk of court Enriqueta Vidal.
The Court set the dates for the exams in reply to a request dated June 4, 2013 from Mehol Sadain of the National Commission on Muslim Filipinos and upon the recommendation of the Office of the Bar Confidant.
"The Court resolved to grant the request of Mr. Sadain for the scheduling of the 13th Special Shari'a Bar Examinations on January 19 and 26, 2014," the resolution stated.
The high court also appointed Judge Kaudri I. Jainul as chair of the board of examiners.
Shari'a law practitioners, also called Shari'a counsellors, litigate cases in the Shari'a district and circuit courts, most of which are located in Mindanao. Although they are recognized as special members of the Philippine Bar, Shari'a law lawyers are not allowed to practice law in regular courts and may not use the title "attorney."
Shari'a courts were created in 1977 to resolve certain cases involving Muslims who are covered by Islamic law. Cases include those on personal status, marriage, matrimonial and family relations, succession and inheritance, and property relations between spouses.
The first Shari'a bar exams were held in 1983.

America's Cup champ Coutts defends rules changes
SAN FRANCISCO Not long after helping to sail one of the new America's Cup catamarans around ghostly San Francisco Bay, four-time winner Russell Coutts scoffed at accusations by two foreign challengers that defending champion Oracle Team USA is benefiting from safety changes.
Coutts, the CEO of Oracle Team USA, also defended regatta director Iain Murray, who said Wednesday that he was frustrated that Emirates Team New Zealand and Italy's Luna Rossa have protested his ability to recommend safety changes following the death of Andrew "Bart" Simpson in the capsize of Artemis Racing's 72-foot catamaran on May 9.
The Kiwis and Italians are unhappy with Murray's requirement that the high-performance boats have deeper rudders with larger winglets to give them additional stability.
Team New Zealand's protest is set to be heard Monday, a day after the Kiwis face Luna Rossa in the opening race of the Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers.
If the jury sides with the two teams, Murray said he has "no choice but to go back to the Coast Guard and inform them that the safety plan hasn't been met and a discussion will have to be had whether the permit to race stands or doesn't stand. Without a permit to race on San Francisco Bay, there will be no racing."
Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa have suggested that the changes to the rudders will aid Oracle, which doesn't have to race until the opener of the 34th America's Cup on Sept. 7. The changes to the rudders were among 37 safety suggestions made by Murray that range from lower wind limits to additional safety equipment worn by the sailors on the fast, space-age catamarans.
"They're making these accusations as if we're having to do things because we're not confident about winning," Coutts told The Associated Press at Oracle's headquarters in a massive old shipping warehouse on Pier 80. "I'm confident in our team. I think we've got the best sailing team out there and I think we've proven that over the last two years. Frankly, I think we have the best technology. But even if we had even technology, I'd be betting on us because I think our team has proven we're better than them."
Coutts is the most dominant skipper in America's Cup history. He sailed undefeated through three straight America's Cup matches, the first two with his native New Zealand and the third with Alinghi of Switzerland. His fourth victory came in 2010 while serving as BMW Oracle Racing's CEO, although he didn't sail on the boat in either race.
Oracle Team USA is loaded with former America's Cup winners and Olympic gold medalists. Ben Ainslie, the most successful sailor in Olympic history with four straight gold medals and a silver, is helmsman of Oracle's backup boat while Jimmy Spithill steers the syndicate's newest boat.
Coutts also defended Murray, an Australian who's a former America's Cup skipper.
"There's been a lot of stuff that's been unfair to Iain Murray," Coutts said. "He's a skilled naval architect and an extremely honest and credible guy, and knowledgeable guy. To suggest he would favor one team over another, frankly, is insulting to him, and it's also insulting to us. We play by the rules and we win playing by the rules."

Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI: He commands the best seat in the stadium; and knows how to enjoy his cricket, having played the game at the first class level. For Suresh Shastri, former left-arm spinner and current international umpire, it has been a wonderful year of officiating.
He stopped playing in 1986 and soon took to umpiring. "I couldn't stay away from the cricket field," was his honest submission. Seven years later, he strode to the middle with K. Parthasarathy as fellow umpire and took the first step towards realizing his goal to become a competent umpire.
As a player he had often seen decisions going against him, umpires erring in making judgment. Shastri, TV umpire for the recent India-Pakistan Test at the Ferozeshah Kotla, understands it well. "It is human to make mistakes but the best umpire is one who makes the least mistakes. I try to learn from my mistakes and that has helped me improve from the time I first stood in a first-class match in 1991," said Shastri. He was in the first batch of players-turned-umpires with S. Venkataraghavan, an illustrious member of that elite group.
When he made his international debut as an umpire in the match against Zimbabwe at Pune in 1993, Shastri knew the task was going to be tough. "Those days we would get just one match in one year," he remembered. From 1993 to 1998, he stood in a mere four matches. Since last November, when he returned to the international panel, Shastri has officiated in 15 one-dayers and two Tests.
Umpiring is a challenge and Shastri has learnt to live with the pressures. "You can't imagine the decibel of the noise when you stand in the middle. It is very difficult to concentrate," he confesses. But his 'pranayam' helps Shastri bear the pressure and his good work on the field has earned him respect from the players, with Sachin Tendulkar leading the list.
Mental strength
Umpiring, like playing, is mental. "You have to be fit, healthy and mentally very strong. The agility has to be top quality. You hardly get a second to check the foot of the bowler and follow the line of the ball. One has to be at his best all the time. There are 16 to 20 cameras at various angles keeping an eye if you err. It is a nice feeling when someone praises you (on the field or in the media). It used to be a thankless job once but it is good to know that appreciation is coming from various quarters these days for good umpiring. There is an incentive to win the best umpire award too now."
Shastri is a man of few words. He can be tough when a bowler asks why his appeal does not find favour with the umpire.
"I answer but it depends on how the question has been asked. If it is a request, I explain after the over. If the bowler tries to be smart, I too snap and tell him to come at the end of the day's play. But nothing is ever personal."
The 52-year-old Shastri takes good decisions and bad decisions in his stride. "You must introspect but not to the point where you get depressed or carried away, depending upon the decision."
On his job, he just smiles and concludes. "It is the most demanding vocation. An umpire is giving a decision every ball of the match. Even when I don't call a no-ball, it is a decision."

I absolutly LOVE this stuff. I have a tons of problems with my sensitive skin. This fits the bill. I cant use anything synthetic. Everything causes break outs and rashes from head to toe. This soap was a god send. I found that if I dont use the citrus conditoning rise that my hair will be a goopy mess. My skin is soft with no rash or break outs. When used diluted as shampoo then followed with the conditioner diluted down that they sell my hair is fan freaking taskic. It saves me time and money because I use 1 product head to toe. With the exception of the citrus conditioner. If you use properly this stuff is wonderful. Now if not diluted like they suggest then I can see why people might not like it. So dilute dilute dilute. I always keep it prediluted in a small bottle in the shower for my hair. Then i use a few tiny drops on my Clarisonc brush on my face. Then a few tiny drops on a bath puff to wash my body. If I need to shave I use a few drops in my hand then lather on where I need to shave. Remember to use the citrus conditioner thay make to rinse out the soap from hair or your hair will seem a goopy mess. Some how the conditioner cuts the soap out to make hair soft and shiney.

Just about the best true soap you can buy. Economical. Remember to dilute, dilute and dilute. Will purchase Dr. B's again and again. I will never go back to SLS based soaps again.

I bought a 32 oz container of this stuff more than 3 months ago ($13, Vitacost), and I just recently ran out (and it was being used by both my boyfriend and me twice a day each in the shower). Don't let the runny consistency fool you, a little goes a LONG way, and it lathers like a dream. The scent is delicious - probably the best smelling soap I've ever used. Even my boyfriend is obsessed with this stuff, and he has very sensitive skin. I'm not sure how effective this would be as a household cleaning agent, but as a body wash, I highly recommend it!

I so wanted to like this line because of the total lack of chemicals.
However I think it's a horrible house cleaner (and I only clean with homemade products like olive oil soap, vinegar and soda). I only use it to clean the tile floor in the kitchen. And I don't think it does a great job, too!
I also find it very drying as a handsoap, even dilluted.
I think I'm going to use it a shampoo on my boy's hair and as body shower because I always moisturize afterwards anyway

This is the most versatile product ever. I went to clean my make up brushes today and ran out of my Sephoria brush cleanser, so I used my Castille instead. What a fabulous job it did cleaning my brushes. It works better than the regular cleansers or sprays. The all rinsed nicely and their shape remained the same. It's crazy that I can use this as a house cleaner or as a body wash. I love the almond sent, although it doesn't linger to long. I found that Castilles removes unwanted spray tan on those places where no one wants it.... Like your ankles and in between my fingers. It leaves my hands so soft, even after long exposure. This is a staple in my cleaning routine.

I'm kind of a soap freak. I usually have an entire drawer full of soaps at any one time. I keep around seven bars in my bath, one for each day of the week. I've used soaps made from all kinds of animal milks, fruit, veg and nut oils. I've ordered soaps from other countries and paid more for shipping than for the soap, just to try something different. I've collected soaps from my various travels. I've used soaps of all colors, shapes and scents. Yes, I am a self-proclaimed soap-a-holic. My favorite soap of all time was an obscure soap made by a Mormon company in Utah called Stevens soap. It was really, really amazing and I had friends send me dozens of the bars, even after I'd moved away. They discontinued it (boo) and since then I've been in search of a new favorite soap. After all the hundreds of bar soaps I've used I think I've finally found my holy grail of soap. It's this one! I especially love sweet smelling, creamy, moisturizing soaps that have quirky packaging and this one fits the bill to a tee. I couldn't ask for more in a soap. Perfection!

LOVE this liquid soap for showering. I use it w/a bath brush & it lathers up beautifully. (I got sick of bar soaps that wouldn't lather in hard NYC water & left a sticky tight-feeling residue on my skin.)
I have used this in Citrus but the scent was a bit off to me. I like Peppermint a great deal better but don't always want to feel freezing cold after a shower (good for a cool-off in the hot summer!), so as a non-cooling alternative I purchased Almond. LOVE the smooth creamy scent. Was hard to choose between this and Lavender but Almond won out. Next time I may buy Lavender, as my mom loves the relaxing scent of lavender.
I love that these soap products are organic, pure, fair trade, very reasonably priced, readily available in healthfood stores & now even in drugstores, & most of all I never have the feeling of scummy residue on my skin after showering. These soaps leave me feeling fresh & clean.

I love Dr. Bronner's soaps. This one smells wonderful and cleans well without over-stripping my skin. Over the years, I found these soaps to be very good at controlling body breakouts and always keep a bottle in the shower and a small one for travel. Another trick I learned is to wet your hands first with a little water and then pour a bit of the soap, rub your palms together to get a creamy lather, then rub over your skin. I want to try the rose one next. This is organic and has coconut oil as a base ingredient. You can even find these at Target which is convenient for me. Highly recommended.
