Throughout history, emeralds have been one of the most intriguing of all the precious stones. Its rich, green hue has given it a legendary status throughout history.
Perhaps disappointingly the name 'emerald' isn't actually taken from any romantic mythology or legend. Originally derived from the Greek 'smaragdos', and then taken from 'esmeralde' in the Old French dialect, the word's literal interpretation simply means 'green gem'. I told you it was disappointing!
While the name might not be awe inspiring, the emerald certainly has a history that is makes up for its moniker. These beautiful green gems have been the subject of desire and need, wanted by those who have sought it for its value and its perceived powers. Kings and queens, emperors and moguls, maharajahs and maharanis, popes and sultans have all possessed emeralds. The economic value of a large, well cut emerald is impressive, but so is the belief in its power.
Emeralds in legend
The emerald is thought to bring good luck, which has to be the most wanted intangible power humans crave. Green is the colour of luck and good fortune. To be worn or kept about the person could improve someone's chances of finding prosperity or safe travel. It might seem like groundless superstition, but when it came to trade routes across continental plains, you would take all the help you could find!
Green also symbolises rebirth and fertility. It is the May birthstone, representing the oncoming summer and nature at its peak. This theme is echoed right back to Ancient Rome, where the colour green represented the goddess Venus. She was the goddess of love, of beauty and prosperity, Emeralds were the sacred stone of Venus, and would be set in emerald jewellery and given as gifts of love.
Today's emeralds
Emerald continues to be enjoyed today, losing none of its charm and attraction. South America, specifically Columbia, holds perhaps the richest strain of emeralds, which has been mined for centuries. In fact, it was the Incas who originally mined for these precious stones, and many of those deposits are still yielding emeralds to this day.
The primary emerald mine in Columbia is located at Coscuez. It's believed that around 60 faces are currently being worked, offering up the majority of the country's emerald output. Unlike emeralds found in other parts of the world, there is a certain uniqueness to Columbian emeralds. They are a truly shining green, often unencumbered by any other impurities or tints.
The Coscuez mine is a perfect example of the ongoing need for these beautiful gems, which are still adored by millions.
A choice of elegant gifts, including emerald May birthstone jewellery can be found at Parriss Jewellers

Retire in Spain
Spain Is a European Retirement Paradise
Retiring in Spain is an increasingly popular option for many expats looking for a retirement that combines First-World European luxuries and charms with Spain's famously sunny climate and abundant seaside living.
Retire in Spain on the Costa del Sol
For Europeans, the Costa del Sol is the most popular part of the Spanish coastline to buy, rent, or invest in real estate. Part of Andalusia province, its infrastructure is excellent: there are international schools, first-class medical facilities–and there's certainly no problem finding real estate agents, doctors, and lawyers who speak English.
Some areas along this coast are highrise horrors, of less appeal to North Americans than to sunshine-obsessed British, Germans, and Scandinavians. North Americans looking to immerse themselves in Spanish culture may instead want to check out seaside Málaga, with its museums, shops, ancient history—and fast, modern air and rail connections to the rest of Spain. Or they may prefer exclusive areas like the smart marina resort of Puerto Banús.
Retiring on the Orange Blossom Coast
Travel an hour north of Valencia and you're in the heart of the Costa de Azahar–the Orange Blossom Coast. Still largely untargeted by foreign vacationers and homebuyers, it boasts acres of orange and almond groves, as well as sandy beaches like those of the Costa Blanca, farther south. And it must be said that it shares some of the same highrise developments… though that doesn't deter hordes of summertime vacationers from Madrid and other large Spanish cities.
But you'll also find traditional Spanish villages…. With a population of just 12,000, Benicassim feels totally Spanish. Five wonderful sandy beaches stretch for almost 5 miles. And although there are some unattractive tower blocks, the backdrop of green mountains is unscarred by ribbon developments of bungalows. Criss-crossed with ancient pilgrim paths, these sierras are especially lovely at sunset when they take on a rosy pink glow.
Retiring on the Costa Dorada
South of Barcelona lies the Costa Dorada. Dotted with towns like Castelldefels, Sitges, and Vilanova I la Geltrú, this stretch of coast offers sophisticated living as well as beautiful beaches…and is an easy suburban-train ride to Barcelona and its big-city amenities.

This certainly comes as a surprise:
In his book Sensible Cruising Designs, L. Francis Herreshoff promulgated the concept of a slim, canting-keel, 45-foot cruiser as the "ultimate sailing machine." In 1957, Kiwi designer Jim Young built the boat out of kauri wood; with Herreshoff's permission, he made some slight alterations to the design. "He added a foot of beam, fortunately, expanding it from six feet to seven feet," says Gary. "It made her somewhat habitable down below."
Though Fiery Cross was New Zealand's first canting-keel raceboat, after only a couple of years the boat was given a fixed keel to comply with the racing rules of the time.
New Zealand Classic | Cruising World
On "modern" times the concept was reinvented by Pascal Conq that was the one to use it successively in racing boats, I mean canting keels as we know them today. Him and his senior partner Finot (and some other French designers) were the ones that developed a reliable system as we know it today, working on Open60, that were much the testing boats were was made all the extensive testing to make them reliable.
Canting keels : A 30 years story ! | finot-conq architectes navals
Looking at Fierry Cross system I have some doubts regarding its reliability but then at the time they do not have the technology to do better than that.
I agree that the boat is not only a breakthrough in design as it is very modern even if it escapes completely the concept of a planning boat. I am quite sure the boat is still a very good boat upwind.
It certainly deserves its place on this thread. The boat:
some more interesting information on the words of the designer, Jim Young:
In L. Frances Herreshoffs book Common Sense of Yacht Design, he advocated the system of canting the keel to windward to get the stability of a beamy boat, but in a narrow hull and without the drag of wide beam.
I thought that a great idea. It would add greatly to the sensation of sailing, great for cruising or reaching up to Kawau Island and up the northern coast. So I built her with that set-up in mind and you can see in the photograph of the hull being turned over of a hollow where the keel fin was recessed.
I knew that if you wanted speed then the boat would have to be long. And to keep costs down the hull would have to be narrow, plus having light gear with a light rig and everything else light and inexpensive. And the type of hull itself was the same as Herreschoff had advocated in his book, a double ended hull.
I had some correspondence with him because the boat he drew was the same length, 45 feet, but had only 6 foot (13.7 x 1.8 m) beam with 6.5 foot (2 m) draught. And I wanted to make this boat 7 foot (2.13 m) beam and so I wrote to him saying I was interested in his ideas but wanted to increase beam and asked him what he thought of that. He was full of enthusiasm and pleased to see someone carry out his ideas."

Dehler Info
Welcome to Sailnet! Undoubtedly you have already visited the
Dehler web site
. You should take a look at the
Dehler Reviews here on Sailnet
If memory serves, a few months back there was a discussion on Dehler. Aha.
it is. If you are looking at used Dehlers (and almost all of us buy used boats), then bankruptcy and a company sale don't have a huge impact on you. Mostly, it can affect your ability to obtain information on old boats and parts only the dealer would have, such as a rudder. Other than that you almost always end up dealing with a Marine Supply store anyway.
If you are looking at buying an older Dehler,
this 2001 thread
is worth reading. I don't know of anything else at Sailnet about Dehlers per se, but I recommend that you also take a look at the
Buying a Boat
board. This
2002 Cruising World Review
might also be helpful.
These are the only references I have run across. Most of my boat review bookmarks don't yield anything on Dehlers. I'd say, then, that Google should be your best friend when it comes to finding Dehler info. Happy searching!

Rosie Perez to Sue Over 'Law & Order: SVU' Injuries
According to the NY Daily News, Perez was filming a guest role on the hit New York City-based crime drama in September 2009 when a scene called for an extra to forcibly shake her. The violent action caused Perez to suffer a herniated disc which took two surgeries to correct.
"The thing to do was taking someone who knows what he's doing to make it look violent without being violent," said Perez's lawyer Brian O'Dwyer, who filed a lawsuit Wednesday in the Brooklyn Supreme Court. "This person was not a stuntman, he was just an extra."
Perez continued to work on the episode, titled 'Hardwired,' which O'Dwyer said likely caused her injuries to worsen.
"There was pressure on her to continue and finish up the episode and she did," he said.
The lawsuit doesn't mention a specific dollar amount the 'Pineapple Express' actress hopes to get from the lawsuit, but given the severity of her injuries, O'Dwyer expects "very substantial" damages.
Perez underwent two surgeries to correct the problem, including a spinal fusion last summer, just days before she attended a White House ceremony. The actress attended the event in a wheelchair and neck brace.
"She's still suffering severe pain, numbness of the arms, and she'll never be the same despite the surgery," said O'Dwyer, who added that the injuries Perez sustained on the 'Law & Order' set resulted in her loss of work for nearly a year.

NOW you will see acting!!! Up until the "accident" she couldn't act alive. Get ready for the Academy Award act (for that big pay day to follow). I hope they put a clause in the probably award that she will not be allowed to do certain things, so when her "miraculous healing" happens she can't try the movies again -- although she is just a "D" actor in a world of "B" movies.

Not that I think that Rosie Perez is anything special, but I have a herniated disc in my neck, and I've had spinal fusion surgery, and it's brutal as hell! There's not going to be any miraculous recovery for her. All the surgery did was stabilize her injury, the pain never, EVER goes away. I feel really bad for her.

Couldn't agree with you more. Look Rosie used to be a dancer and I am sure she has had a lot of wear and tear on her body. Was she hurt? I'm guessing she was to what degree...who knows. What I do know is that the head honchos will not be losing a dime out of pocket. Insurance who claims to protect studios when this occurs are the ones who will be paying out. I say take them to the cleaners. They have no problem taking us to the cleaners every month. Go for it Rosie take it and take it all!

ok if she thought the scene was dangerous she should have gotten a stunt double to stand in for her, secondly if she was injured as badly as she claims she was she should have quit right away. sounds like she needs exposure and a paycheck...if I were NBC Id fight this one all the way

Just like whiplash, back and neck injuries often don't show up right away. I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. Think shaken-baby syndrome. This can easily happen.

BOISE Some highly acclaimed women are in Boise for the next several days to talk about women in leadership. Boise State s Andrus Center for Public Policy is hosting the event that's expecting upwards of 1,000 people in attendance.
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor will be the keynote speaker at the event that begins Wednesday night with her being presented with the Andrus Leadership Award.
The topics that will be discussed in the Jordan Ballroom at Boise State University are important and sensitive.
The program was designed to provide highly acclaimed women in this country with the opportunity to discuss the challenges and hurdles that women have faced and overcome in the workplace, and the work that remains so that they can enjoy genuine equality and erase the inequities that affect the workplace, said Dr. David Adler, Director of the Andrus Center for Public Policy.
Adler set his focus on the first female appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court - Sandra Day O'Connor and former Ambassador to Finland Bonnie McElveen-Hunter as marquee women for his conference.
Once those two agreed, it was simply a matter of reaching out to extraordinary women in different fields throughout America, said Adler.
In all, 18 women, including Idaho's own Barbara Morgan, will talk about what it takes to rise above what Adler says are years of inequality for women.
Here's an opportunity to place Idaho on the map when it comes to promoting those virtues of tolerance and diversity, said Adler.
They'll hear success stories, along with mishaps and missteps from other women.
I think that this is going to be a conference in which women will feel empowered because they'll be hearing directly from other women who have scaled the heights in their respective industries, said Adler.
Thursday and Friday there will be several speakers and presentations.
Tickets are sold out, but there will be an overflow that is free and on a first-come, first-served basis.

Zoe Saldana too intense for new love?
Could Zoe Saldana finally get Bradley Cooper to settle down? Insiders say no.
Less than a year after breaking off her engagement to longtime beau, Keith Britton, there's word that Zoe is looking for a deeper commitment from her new love.
The problem is, he's just not there yet. In Touch Weekly reports that Zoe is pushing for something serious because she thinks he's "the one," while Bradley is just enjoying the moment.
"Zoe is really intense," one source said, adding that she even wants Bradley to move in with her. "Bradley really likes her, but he's trying to keep things casual."
Willow Smith shaves her head
Short hair must be the new things for the Smith kids. Just days after her brother Jaden Smith revealed his own freshly shorn locks, little sister Willow Smith has debuted her own shaved head.
Willow debuted her cropped look in a couple of pics on Twitter, one of which found her in the dance studio.
Are you feeling this look for her?
Serena Williams snags new man?
Age ain't nothing but a number for Serena Williams. HelloBeautiful.com reports that Serena was spotted on a lunch date in Paris with Bulgarian tennis pro, Grigor Dimitrov. After they finished their food, they went for a romantic walk around the city.
The kicker? At 20, he's 10 years Serena's junior. The age difference doesn't seem to have been an issue on their date, however. "They were laughing and seemed to really enjoy each other's company. It looked like a first date," one witness said.
Rihanna lightens up
Rihanna's gone blond yet again; this time for an upcoming cover of Elle magazine. While RiRi's look for "You Da One" was a neat platinum bob, the singer debuted a shaggier look last night on Twitter.
"bleach + weave #WERQ," she tweeted.
After her shoot for Elle, Rihanna took her look courtside to see the Los Angeles Clippers play the Denver Nuggets at the Staples Center.
Madonna teases Super Bowl
Life's good when you're an international superstar. In Madonna's new video for "Give Me All Your Luvin'," which she'll perform at the Super Bowl this Sunday, she's followed and protected by a legion of football players.
But there's more for Madge! The pop diva also has a troop of cheerleaders, led by Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., backing her every move.
We won't spoil the rest of the spectacle for you. Check it out now to get an idea of what you can expect to see during the halftime show. We just hope she doesn't plan on decapitating any players or punting any babies during her time onstage.

By NG SU-ANN
THE jungle orchestra was playing in full force as we trekked through the Penang National Park recently.
From gurgling streams to high-pitched crickets, this natural symphony orchestra gave a resounding performance, reminding us that we were not alone as we trekked through the park.
Rainforest trees reigned supreme here while mangrove swamps dominated the jungle's perimeter.
It was a wondrous sight to see certain parts of the interior bathed in light while different shades of gree-nery cloak the woodland floor, perfuming the air with a faint fragrance.
We were on a guided tour condu-cted by the Malaysian Nature Socie-ty to trek from the Teluk Bahang fi-shing village to Pantai Kerachut.
Along our three-hour journey to Pantai Kerachut at the other end of the park, Joseph pointed out the in-teresting flora and fauna at certain spots.
"Good news! We don't have to worry about leeches as this park is the country's only leech-free rainfo-rest," he said.
The park, he said, was home to se-veral animal species including the mousedeer, spring hill tortoise, Asian terrapin, freshwater eel, ot-ters, king cobra and crabs, adding that there were occasional sightings of dolphins along the seashores.
Joseph also showed us a rattan palm called 'wait-a-minute'.
"A group of trekkers including foreign tourists were passing by one day when one of them got caught by this clingy palm. He called out to his group members by saying: Wait a minute!" he said.
A member of our nine-member group, Datuk Anwar Fazal, said the last time he visited the park was 20 years ago.
"Today, I can see more facilities to cater for the increasing number of visitors," said the 64-year-old foun-der of the Consumers Association of Penang.
He described the park as a national treasure which not only contri-buted to the tourism industry but also to the education and research sectors.
Throughout the trail, there were 'monkey-proof' thrash bins where visitors had to push a lever to open the hatch.
Apart from such new features, oc-tagonal picnic tables were placed at strategic rest areas.
At Pantai Kerachut, we saw the fa-mous rare meromictic lake which was unfortunately dry at this time of the year.
A natural phenomenon, the lake was formed when the river mouth was blocked by sandbank resulting in fresh river water getting trapped within and seawater seeps through the sandbank to fill the lake slowly.
The two layers of fresh and seawater never mix. The cool fresh wa-ter stays at the top while the warm seawater stays at the bottom, hence the name meromictic.
Proper camping amenities make camping a luxury here. They include separate female and male shower areas, a covered multi-purpose hall and even a kitchen.
Bird watching should not be mis-sed here. We spotted four pairs of white-bellied sea eagles circling the sky.
This sandy stretch is also the nesting place of the Green Turtles (Che-lonia mydas) and Olive-Ridley Tur-tles (Lepidochelys olivacea). Occa-sionally the Leatherback Turtles are seen here.
The 2,562-hectare Penang Natio-nal Park is currently the world's smallest national park. Previously known as the Pantai Acheh Forest Reserve, it was gazetted as a national park in 2003.
Since then, it has attracted an ave-rage of 3,000 visitors every month. Before this, there were only 800 visitors monthly here.
Park development committee chairman Teng Chang Yeow, who is also state Tourism Development and Environment Committee chairman, said this pristine site harbou-red a wealth of 417 flora and 143 fauna species.
"The park is unique as it contains several different types of habitat including the meromictic lake, hill and lowland forest, wetlands, mangrove forest, sea with coral reefs and turtle nesting beaches."
Trees and plants found here include Chengal, Meranti Seraya, Jelutong, Gaharu, Tongkat Ali and Bintangor, he added.
Exploring the park
As there is no road system into the national park, visitors can either trek through the jungle trails or take a boat from Teluk Bahang fishing village (from the north) or Kampung Pantai Acheh (from the south). The following are several interesting spots in the park:
Pasir Pandak
This is a shady camping ground. With civilization just around the corner, it makes a suitable venue for family outings. At the Teluk Bahang roundabout, continue straight towards the fishing jetty. This beach is easily accessible wi-thin walking distance from the jetty. The national park headqua-rters is situated here.
Teluk Tukun
It is about 20 minutes from Pasir Pandak. The trail is a clear and easy walk along the coast to reach Teluk Tukun beach. Camping grounds are built along Tukun River which flows into Teluk Tukun. A small island opposite is Pulau Tukun Tengah.
Tanjung Aling
It takes about 30 minutes to reach Tanjung Aling from Pasir Pandak.
Tanjung Aling houses the Universiti Sains Ma-laysia research centre and the forest and coastal areas are being used for research on bio-techno-logy. There is a jetty to bring in supplies from town. The beach is easily accessible and it is a sui-table camping site for campers.
Teluk Duyung (Monkey Beach)
You can walk or take a boat (only during high tide) to Teluk Duyung. You can reach Teluk Du-yung about one and half hours from Tanjung Aling. Teluk Duyung is a beautiful bay protected by Muka Head's cape.
Muka Head
Here stands a majestic lighthouse built in 1883 and a cemetery that is at least 80 years old that resembles those in Acheh. The peak of the lighthouse offers a panoramic view of the surrounding islands.
Teluk Kampi
Teluk Kampi has the longest beach in the park. Trenches found along the northern coast indicate that the beach was a defence post for the Japa-nese Army during World War II. From Pantai Ke-rachut, it takes a hike of one hour to reach this beach.
Pantai Mas
Formally a coconut plantation, it is now an overgrown wasteland. Accessing Pantai Mas with fishing boats is only available during high tide. Alternative access is through the trail either from the United Hokkien Cemetery at Teluk Bahang about 5km away (three-hour trekking) or Kam-pung Pantai Acheh in the south about 1.5km away (one-hour trekking).
Things to bring
at least 1.5 litre of drinking water & food for lunch
sunglasses & sun block
insect repellent
binoculars (for bird watching)
ultra-light fishing tackle (for anglers)
spare change of clothes with small bath towel
camera (optional)
a pair of slippers (optional)
Wear comfortable walking shoes/san- dals; preferably light cotton T-shirt & shorts/ longs (do not wear jeans as they are too warm for the climate and get very heavy when wet).

Beautiful with great quality and price
I love the fact there were several beautiful Themes. Each with personalisation available to make our save the dates and invitations as unique as our wedding. Everything sent has been to be great quality.
Beautiful winter wedding invite!
I love my invitations! I loved that I could completely change the back of the invite (to match the image on the front). It looks so beautiful! The upgraded linen paper was so worth it. The card stock feels great in hand and I think it eliminates some bending. Overall, I'm so happy! Only thing that could have made it better would have been glitter :)
My invitations were exactly how I wanted them to be! They looked perfect!
Beautiful !
I love these invitations they came out perfect! Creating them was so easy.
Exquisite Quality!
I searched and searched for the perfect fall invitations. They had to be colorful, of great quality, and of course. . . Beautiful. I couldn't have found a more PERFECT invitation than A Falling of Leaves. The quality is unsurpassed! I just LOVE the texture and thickness of the linen stock paper; it made the cost worth every dime. The design was exactly what I was looking for. . .A prelude to our Autumn themed wedding. To say that the invitation was 'pretty' would be an insult. With the slender vellum holding it all together, it was simply LOVELY! Everyone was impressed! There really isn't much more that needs to be said, except, PLACE YOUR ORDER!

Have to agree, went on tribble to see the new content and I must admit to been impressed by what I've seen. Only indended to be there 5-10mins max but ended up spending 3 and a half hours there! So much to do and see, there's small touches in graphics that just starts to finish off STO and the large multi-player dimension to the game really opens STO in a different dimension. Drawn into a fight that's not yours and/or coming across someone who's died and bringing them back even when they're not teamed with you is just brilliant, imagine doing that at ESD.
The new reputation system looks good as it gives the single player a structured outlay to earn equipment and though may drain resources from fleet projects it gives the individual a chance of improving themselves with collected resources instead of having to wait to use it in a certain fleet project.
All in all a very good addition with no bugs experienced during my 3 and a half hours game play from running around the new planet to fighting in space in nearly every system, just got the frustrating wait for the release to make progress with it on the live server....

Apple Drops Out of Top 20 Most Trusted Companies for Privacy
Apple has dropped out of the Top 20 list in world's largest survey of consumer trust. Apple's 21st ranking in the Ponemon Institute's Most Trusted Companies for Privacy Study is its lowest ranking in three years. The survey asks consumers to name and rate organizations they believe are most committed to protecting the privacy of their personal information.
Apple fell from 8th place in 2009 to 12th in 2010, 14th in 2011 and 21st in 2012.*Apple was not the only major company to find itself having been knocked out of a top-20 place, being joined by both Google and Facebook.
The Ponemon Institute is careful to point out that the survey reflects consumer perceptions of privacy, rather than actual privacy practices. Apple Insider notes that Apple has tightened its privacy controls in a number of ways following revelations that the Path app was uploading users' address books without permission. Apple now requires apps to obtain explicit permission from users before contact information can be accessed. Apps also seek permission before using accessing location data.
Both Apple's App Store and Google's Android Market were criticised by the FTC in December for failing to disclose to parents ways in which data might be shared from children's apps.

MARCH 30, 2007--Season tickets for the St. Croix Valley Summer Theatre season are now on sale for the company's 41 st season on the University of Wisconsin-River Falls campus. The season includes the highly anticipated stage version of Disney's "High School Musical."
Based on the smash-hit movie, "High School Musical" unfolds live on the Davis Theatre stage Tuesday, July 31-Saturday, Aug. 11, with a cast of nearly 40 young actors.
The stage show will feature dazzling production numbers, new songs, and all of the familiar characters from the Disney Channel original film version.
"High School Musical" is directed by Erik Quam, whose previous SCVST credits include "Oliver!", "State Fair," and "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." The choreographer is professional dancer Gretchen Page, a River Falls native. The musical director is another River Falls native, James Norman.
The summer theater's season opens June 26 with the affectionate and warm-hearted comedy-drama "The Last Night of Ballyhoo," by Alfred Uhry, the award-winning author of "Driving Miss Daisy."
Performances run June 26-July 1.
Uhry's play takes place in Atlanta in December 1939 on the same night that "Gone With The Wind" is premiering there. But the socially ambitious Freitag family is more concerned with who is going to Ballyhoo, the social event of the season.
Filled with love, poignancy and tender comedy, "The Last Night of Ballyhoo" won Broadway's 1997 Tony Award for best play.
UWRF theatre professor and SCVST veteran Meg Swanson is directing.
A zany musical comedy filled with wacky characters and genuine charm that bursts with romance and country humor rounds out the 2007 summer theater season.
"Radio Gals," with music by the writer of "Pump Boys and Dinettes," takes the stage July 10-21, directed by Rosy Kirk, who helmed the SCVST's 2006 "Sisters of Swing."
The delightful plot unfolds in the late 1920s when the local music teacher Hazel Hunt receives a radio transmitter as her retirement gift. And what's more fun than to start her very own radio station - and Hazel's impromptu WGAL goes on the air.
Hazel's wacky "all-girl orchestra" of eccentric locals - the Hazelnuts - gather daily in her parlor, turn on the transmitter, and set hearts thumping and toes tapping with songs, homely chatter and plugs for a rejuvenating tonic that probably owes its kick to a still out back.
The problems begin when Hazel's radio wave jumping brings a button-downed federal radio inspector to her door. But she soon discovers the inspector is a talented crooner under the bureaucratic façade and he quickly succumbs to the music and Hazel's romantic shenanigans.
"Radio Gals" musical direction is also by Norman, with choreography by UWRF instructor Denise Baker, who will also costume the show.
All productions are in Davis Theatre, in the Kleinpell Fine Arts Building, UW-River Falls, 420 Cascade Ave., River Falls. Evening performances begin at 7:30 p.m., Sunday matinees are at 1:30 p.m.

Recipients of the 2012 state 4-H project awards were recognized at the Iowa 4-H Youth Conference in June. A state 4-H project award is the highest achievement 4-H'ers can receive in 4-H Youth Development project work through ISU Extension and Outreach. Information about the recipients is available by county.
4-H youth development specialist Brenda Allen said these awards indicate that the youths not only have mastered skills in that particular area, but also have shared their knowledge through presentations, workshops or helping others. In addition, 4-H project award winners must convey what they've gained in their project through a rigorous state application and interview process.

In the 4th inning, Louisville trails Charlotte 4-2. Armando Jollyroger is off to rough start thru 3, giving up 7 hits, 2 walks, and 4 earned. Hamilton has a walk, Burriss and Fellhaurer singles, Negrin and Corky doubles. The man, the myth, the mustache with both ribeyes.
In South Bend, Cisco has given up one earned on one hit with no walks and two Ks thru two. The Dragons lead the Silver Hawks 3-1 on the strength of hits by Superfluous J and Mejias-Brean, followed by a Winker two run tah-tah. Really starting to wonder how long he needs to hit like this before a promotion. My guess is another 4-5 weeks of playing at a high level might do it.
Sharky has gone two scoreless against the Baybears. Mattair and Durango have hits.

Washington: An influential American Senator, known as India's best friend in the U.S. Senate, apologised on Sunday for "mistakenly" calling India a security threat to the U.S.
While defending the need to continue with the F-22 programme, now being closed down by the Obama administration, Senator John Cornyn said in an interview that the U.S. needed these fighter jets for protecting itself from increasing national security threats from countries such as North Korea, Iran and India.
Mr. Cornyn is founder and Co-Chair of the Senate India Caucus and had played a key role in the passage of the India-U.S. civilian nuclear deal. He has been one of the prime supporter of deepening of strategic ties between India and the U.S.
"It's important to our national security because we're not just fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq... we have graver threats and greater threats than that, from a rising India, with increased exercise of their military power; Russia, Iran, that's threatening to build a nuclear weapon; with North Korea, shooting intercontinental ballistic missiles, capable of hitting American soil," he had said.
"Senator Cornyn regrets the mistake and apologises for any misunderstanding this may have caused," Kevin McLaughlin, his spokesperson, said in a statement after the issue was brought to the notice of the media by an Indian American.
"Senator Cornyn misspoke saying 'India' when he meant to say 'China.' As Founder and Co-chairman of the Senate India Caucus, no Senator has greater respect or admiration for India or values our relationship with them more," McLaughlin said. — PTI

Director of Strategy Nick Fowler addresses the challenges and future of UK research at the HEPI Autumn Conference
At the Autumn Conference of the Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI), senior UK higher education leaders and policy makers gathered to zoom in on the Research Excellence Framework (REF), a new system for assessing research quality and determining research funding in the UK. REF is set to go live in 2014, and with SciVerse Scopus as the sole bibliometric provider, Elsevier will play a major role in what should be a driver of a dynamic and internationally competitive research sector. However, Elsevier's role in measuring, managing and improving UK research goes far beyond the REF. As one of the conference's main speakers, Director of Strategy Nick Fowler discussed Elsevier's increasing involvement in the future of the UK's research sector.
Fowler started his speech by referring to the report 'International Comparative Performance of the UK Research Base - 2011', that the Department for Business, Information and Skills commissioned from Elsevier and recently released. "One of the main conclusions of the report is that the UK is a global research leader, but its ability to sustain its position is far from inevitable against the backdrop of emerging research nations. While R&D spending and the number of researchers remain essentially flat in the UK, emerging players like China, India and Brazil are growing these critical research inputs rapidly. China now spends almost five times as much as the UK spends on research. Its spending is growing on average by 18% per year, more than twenty times faster than the UK. This explains why China has rapidly become the second largest source of scientific articles after the US, and is expected to become the world's leader by 2020. Similarly, Brazil and India are growing their outputs at double-digit annual rates, and together they now publish almost as many articles as the UK."
He continued: "So how can UK universities sustain and advance their positions in research in the face of these intensely competitive dynamics? There are four levers that institutions are applying:
- The first lever is to improve the institution's funding win-rate. This could mean winning more from national sources, whether as institutional block grants from the REF, or via researchers' competitive bids for grants.
- The second lever is to attract the best researchers, both from the UK and beyond, whether established or early career researchers.
- The third lever is to improve the efficiency of the research process to which funding and human capital are applied such as through collaboration.
- The fourth lever is to have better information about inputs, throughputs, and outputs to increase the ability to monitor and manage research performance. Better information about outputs and outcomes also helps universities demonstrate their strengths, and thereby improves their ability to compete for funding and talent.
To illustrate Elsevier's ongoing involvement in strengthening the UK's research sector, I'd like to expand on the fourth lever. Against the backdrop of intensifying international competition, UK universities lack robust information to manage their research activities even though they have performed extremely well historically. This was a conclusion of a JISC-funded study that Imperial College London conducted in collaboration with Elsevier last year. It found that universities and funding bodies lack standardised information to measure, monitor and manage their research activities. It found that universities have worked in isolation, re-inventing the wheel and missing opportunities to collaborate with each other, with funding bodies and with suppliers to implement robust indicators of their inputs, throughputs and outputs. This has given rise to inefficiencies in the research system. Universities also lack an objective basis upon which to compare themselves to inform their decision-making.
This is a remarkable situation. It is as if UK universities are vessels sailing on the Ocean of Research without nautical instruments to guide them. Meanwhile, conditions are becoming stormier and powerful well-fuelled new players have entered the race.
The JISC-funded study called for stronger integrated working between funders, universities and suppliers: over the past year significant progress has been made. For example, eight UK universities are now working in partnership with each other and with Elsevier on a voluntary, self-funded open project. The universities (Bristol, Cambridge, Imperial College London, Leeds, Oxford, Queen's University Belfast, St Andrew's, and UCL) comprise almost 40% of Research Council awards and account for almost 40% of UK-authored articles each year. The project aims to develop a broad set of metrics that can provide a holistic picture of an institution's research activities in ways that are consistent and comparable. It is called Project Snowball because it aims to create a snowball effect: by building consensus on the metrics' definitions, calculations and sources, it seeks to provide a core that others can bind onto over time. A report on Snowball's progress is openly published. Further details about the metrics, definitions, and calculation methodologies will be made available for all to use in the coming weeks.
Of course, these metrics will need to be complemented by other types of information. Just as the recently-published BIS report used case studies of UK research strengths to add insights to data, Snowball metrics will benefit from other information to provide a more rounded picture, as for example case studies are being used by the Research Councils and by HEFCE to describe research impact. And even then, this information will need to be interpreted wisely: no amount of metrics or case studies can substitute for sound judgement. Metrics and case studies should inform judgement-based decision-making but should not replace it.
To compete effectively in the intensely competitive landscape of global research, UK universities will need to have better information to develop strategies that maximise their research outcomes and to leverage their inputs. They will need to invest in systems to deliver that information. They will then be better equipped to know where they are located in relation to one another and to get to their desired destination as the seas get rougher and more competitive. With robust information and the tools to deliver and query it, UK universities will be able to mitigate the risk of being cast adrift as their non-UK counterparts navigate themselves to safe harbours."
The HEPI Autumn Conference
The Higher Education Policy Institute (HEPI) is the UK's only independent think tank devoted exclusively to higher education. Founded in 2002, its mission is to improve higher education in the UK by creating a better informed policy environment - informed by research and analysis, as well as drawing on experiences from other countries. HEPI runs a range of events selected to maximise their effectiveness in reaching out to their target audiences, among which the annual HEPI Autumn Conference.
Research Excellence Framework – driving a competitive UK research sector
This year's HEPI Autumn Conference – Assessing impact, rewarding excellence: REF 2014 and beyond – took place at the Royal Society of London on 22 November and centered around the Research Excellence Framework (REF), a new system for assessing quality and determining research funding, which is set to go live in 2014. The UK funding bodies want the REF to become a driver of a dynamic and internationally competitive research sector "that makes a major contribution to economic prosperity, national wellbeing and the expansion and dissemination of knowledge." In September this year, four UK Higher Education Funding Bodies, representing England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, had decided to use Elsevier's SciVerse Scopus as the sole bibliometric provider for the 2014 REF. At the HEPI Autumn Conference a range of senior HE leaders and policy-makers, who have been central to shaping the strategic direction of the new funding framework, gathered to discuss the process of moving into the implementation phase of the REF.

Sexual violence is a problem at Brown University, and university officials should take immediate action to improve the process for responding to sexual assault, according to an interim report from Brown's Task Force on Sexual Assault.
The report includes more than two dozen recommendations, including the adoption of trained fact-finders to investigate reports of sexual violence.
Brown President Christina Paxson says a protest that forced former New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly to halt a lecture last year was a violation of Brown's policy on the free exchange of ideas.
"There is no doubt that the disruption of Kelly's lecture represented a violation of these policies," Paxson wrote in her final response to the incident, which was posted this week on Brown's website and sent in an email to Brown students and faculty.
Officials at Brown University say they expect a full report on the school's sexual assault policy to be complete by the end of the fall semester. The Brown Corporation discussed the issue at its quarterly meeting on Friday, just before Brown's commencement ceremonies got underway.
In the final installment of our series Paying For It: Rhode Islanders Struggle with Student Debt, education reporter Elisabeth Harrison visits the Rhode Island Student Loan Authority to speak with Executive Director Charlie Kelley. She asked him to walk through the payment system for a student who has borrowed $31,000, about the average for recent graduates in Rhode Island.
This year, Brown University plans to honor acclaimed authors Jeffrey Eugenides and Lois Lowry, both Brown alums, along with U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez and seven other Brown graduates.
At the Rhode Island School of Design, commencement festivities will include an honorary degree for designer Todd Oldham and a keynote speech from designer Bruce Mau.

Sleep Innovations Readies Stanley Utility Mat For Hardware Show
Friday April 12th, 2013 - 1:20PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
Sleep Innovations will launch a new Stanley branded utility mat at the upcoming National Hardware Show. The licensed anti-fatigue mat offers floor protection, is slip-resistant and relieves pressure on the feet, knees and back, according to the company.
Developed for the DIY consumer, and for those who spend a lot of time standing at a home workbench or other utility space, the Stanley utility mat is said to provide cushion, support and durability due to the mat's polyurethane construction. The resistance to common fluids and chemicals found in a garage or home workshop, as well as an anti-skid bottom, make the mat ideal for any utility space, noted the company.
Made with 100% tear-resistant polyurethane, the mat is said to perform well in resistance to motor oil, grease, antifreeze and WD 40, and it features a 20-year limited warranty. The Stanley Utility Mat is the first of a series of mats under development for the utility space and comes in a 24-inch by 36-inch size for $49.99 and a 36-inch by 60-inch size for $119.
The National Hardware Show will be held in Las Vegas from May 7 to 9.

Latest weapon against obesity: local craft beer
You're welcome, America
In the battle against our ever-expanding waistlines, there's an unexpected new weapon: beer.
Brew Rendezvous, a May 18 benefit for the anti-obesity campaigns of the Community Health Improvement Partners (CHIP), will celebrate the nutritious contributions of local farmers, chefs and the folks making the stuff that is blamed for beer bellies.
Does this make sense? It does to JuliAnna Arnett of CHIP, a San Diego think tank that studies public health issues. While beer is a source of calories, the local craft breweries that produce it have also proved to be a valuable resource in the fight for good food.
"They've put their money and their muscle behind a more sustainable and healthy food system," Arnett said. "A number of brewers here are really involved."
Fine. But for overweight Americans, isn't beer part of the problem, not the solution?
"Well, let's go back to what they used to say about avocados," said Noel Stehly, who raises avocados, other produce and livestock at Valley Center's Stehly Farms. "They'd say, 'You can't eat that, it's full of fat, it will kill you.' Now, it's heart food."
Brew Rendezvous doesn't make that claim for beer — quite. But the afternoon event at SILO in downtown's Makers Quarter will underline local brewers' role in supporting local agriculture, ensuring that San Diegans are able to enjoy a wide variety of fresh, wholesome food.
Larger conversation
Arnett's view of brewers as nutrition warriors began to take shape in 2000, with the county's first foray into the Slow Food movement. An international crusade on behalf of locally grown and humanely produced items, Slow Food found a champion in North County.
"Even before Stone opened its restaurant in 2002," she said, "Greg Koch, the CEO there, helped open the Slow Food chapter in San Diego."
Brew Rendezvous
When: May 18, 1 to 4 p.m.
Where: SILO in Makers Quarter, 753 15th St., San Diego.
What: Food and drink from 10 restaurants, nine farms and 14 breweries.
Admission: $55; $25 for designated drivers. Tickets can be bought online at utsandiego.com/brewtickets.
Information: utsandiego.com/chip.
That commitment deepened when Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens debuted. The restaurant eventually became the county's largest buyer of local produce; opened its own 19-acre organic farm; and, along with numerous other breweries, donated spent grains — a nutrient-rich brewing byproduct — to local farmers.
"That offsets our feed costs," said Stehly, whose sheep, goats and chickens all consume modest amounts of spent grains from breweries like Rough Draft, Helm's, Belching Beaver and Thorn Street. "It's a win-win. We are not dumping it in a landfill, and the animals benefit from it."
While humans don't eat spent grains, Arnett sees this as part of the larger conversation we should have about diet and environment.
"It's not just apples or oranges," she said. "How was that food produced? What was the impact on the farmworker and the farmer? Or the consumer? And how does that impact our economy?"
The 14 breweries highlighted at Brew Rendezvous are businesses, employing thousands of people at relatively high-paid jobs. Most are involved in the food community, using local ingredients in their beers, collaborating on beer dinners, even opening their own restaurants.
