Call for strategy to fight cyber threats
Mohammad Abdul Qudoos / 20 May 2010
The UAE should have a strategy to defend itself against cyber crimes, cyber espionage and the possibility of a cyber war, an expert on security said.
We should know who can and will attack us and we should be able to defend ourselves, Richard A. Clarke, who has served three consecutive US presidents as senior White House advisor, said in a lecture, Cyber War: The next Threat to the UAEs National Security, at the Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research.
Praising the UAEs role at the UN and GCC level against cyber threats, he said, Diplomacy is one way to deal with these threats at the international level. Diplomacy and dialogue can be used to control them. The UAE has a great role to play in creating an international system of cyber teeth.
Every nation is vulnerable to cyber threat, including the UAE, since it is one of the most wired nations in the world, he said. Masdars (Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company) work on alternativee energy, for instance, could be of interest to many and espionage in a modern society can come from anywhere in the world.
Clarke said there is no international regulatory authority to control cyber threat although non-governmental organisations might exist. There is also the need for an international law on cyber war. However, agreements would have little effect.
Cyber crimes have become a multibillion-dollar industry, as big as narcotics cartels. A few criminals have been caught and many are protected by nations. Through cyber espionage, corporations can within hours lose information that can fill 10 libraries. Both corporations and nations are involved in cyber espionage, he said.
Espionage techniques are used to cause damage and destruction to the enemy in a cyber war. These activities are possible by hackers because of faulty software.
Cyber attacks can affect a nations power grid and transport system and destroy a countrys banking system and economy, he said, giving examples of many countries which, he said, have used cyber attacks in wars. We should be able to protect out fibre system and data farms. Clarke said terrorist organisations have not used cyber attacks. firstname.lastname@example.com

The formation of water-soluble organic ligands by radiolytic and chemical degradation of several strong acidic ion-exchange resins was investigated under conditions close to those of the near field of a cementitious repository. The most important degradation products were studied and their complexing properties evaluated.Irradiation of strong acidic cation exchange resins (Powdex PCH and Lewatite S-100) resulted in the formation of mainly sulfate and dissolved organic carbon. High-performance liquid chromatography analysis indicated the presence of oxalate, contributing to 10 to 20% of the organic carbon. The identity of the remainder is unknown. The presence of oxalate as a complexant is consistent with results from earlier work. Complexation studies with Cu2+ and Ni2+ showed the presence of two ligands: oxalate and ligand X. Although ligand X could not be identified, it could be characterized by its concentration ([X]T ~ 10-5 to 10-6 M), a deprotonation constant (pKH ~ 7.4 at I = 0.1 M), and a complexation constant for the NiX complex (log KNiX ~ 7.0 at I = 0.1 M).In the absence of irradiation, no evidence for the formation of ligands was found.

If you're thinking of staying up all night on Tuesday 6 November to find out who America elects, you don't have to do it home alone.
The Redhook Red Eye Election Night Party at Redhook in Clerkenwell starts at 8pm and live coverage goes through till dawn. Tickets are £65 but that includes all food and (booze) drink through the night and breakfast-to-go if you make it to the end. You can do the Popbitch political picture quiz when the news gets dull.
The Frontline Club party will be watching it all on various channels from 8pm. Tickets are £12.50, which includes wine and beer, but they'd like you to book a table for an themed menu dinner in their restaurant between 6-9pm too.
Join Obama supporters at the only American-organised election night party that starts at 9pm and lasts till 6am. Nine live big screens will be showing American news channels Fox and CNN all night long. Tickets are £32 and include a buffet, champagne voucher, election guide and special souvenirs. There's a press photocall at 11:30 pm for a special surprise, in the Famous Three Kings in Fulham.
It's free entry to the American Bar at the Stafford Hotel from 9pm where there's live coverage and an "election night veteran bar team" prepared to meet your anxious alcohol needs. Just keep an eye on your bar tab if you're staying till dawn.
US Election Giggle 2012 at Bethnal Green Working Men's Club is spicing up coverage with political comedy and fun punditry, promising "the best (and hopefully last) Mitt Romney jokes you'll hear all year" from 9pm until it's over, tickets £10.
Join Democrats Abroad at the Marylebone Sports Bar and Grill from 10.30pm. Tickets are £10 and can only be paid for by American citizens but there's no such restrictions once you're into the party. SOLD OUT (see comments)
We haven't yet got wind of a Republicans Abroad equivalent.
The Lexington pub on Pentonville Road's pulling down the big screen and squishing up the sofas (get there early to bag one) to watch the results roll in from 11pm with hotdogs, twinkies and other American fare on sale and free entry to the event.

ESA voices concern over US fiscal situation
On March 1, a series of automatic spending cuts are set to occur unless Congress produces a plan that reduces the federal deficit by $1.2 trillion. These cuts will drastically scale back federal support of scientific research, environmental protections and education and do nothing substantive to address the nation's fiscal problems. "Scientific research reaches across a broad cross section of society that goes well beyond academia,"...
Further discretionary spending cuts unnecessary to address federal debt
This post contributed by Terence Houston, ESA Science Policy Analyst While the taxation aspect of the fiscal cliff may have been averted, budget sequestration was merely punted until March 1, which means funding for federal agencies responsible for science and environmental initiatives remain at risk unless Congress can come up with a plan to reduce the debt by $1.2 trillion before then. The across-the-board indiscriminate cuts to...
Budget sequestration – it's not Congress's first rodeo
A ticking time bomb is set to go off in January that would cost millions of jobs, stifle discretionary spending investments in disaster response, conservation, education, research and innovation as well as increase taxes on millions and potentially spur another recession – the fiscal cliff. Coinciding with the expiration of a series of tax cuts and unemployment benefits, the fiscal cliff also includes across-the-board cuts to...

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsHow To Drivetrain
Steeda Tri-Ax Billet Shifter - Precision Peace - Who Says Hot-Rodding Is Dead?
Hate your '05's rubbery shifter? Find salvation with our steeda tri-ax billet shifter install
Horse Sense:
Project car provider Rich Robello is the second '05 GT owner to submit his new 'Stang to our camera before making his first payment. Who says hot-rodding is dead?
Enjoyable as the new Mustang is, ask anyone who's driven one and they'll report the shifter is a rubbery disappointment. Finding gears is a reasonably accurate exercise assuming your adrenal glands aren't secreting sauce like a musk ox, but the feel is disconnected-mushy even.
So here is Steeda bursting through the opportunity door before you can get that new Mustang out of the dealer's driveway-Steeda engineers must hide in the bushes-with a snazzy billet shifter ready to go. The business end of the shifter, including the adjustable, positive stops and billet collar and pivot ball, are familiar stuff to late-model enthusiasts. The attachment hardware, braces, and other specifics to the '05 shifter are, of course, new to all of us.
Also new is the installation procedure. Whereas Mustang shifters have traditionally installed from inside the cockpit, the new shifter installs mainly from under the car. That's because the '05 shifter is remotely mounted from the transmission and it's necessary to access the bracketry from underneath. This entails disconnecting the driveshaft from the transmission to gain access to the shifter, but because the transmission/driveshaft interface is a flange, this is straightforward nut and bolt work. It is not necessary to remove the driveshaft from the car or disconnect the exhaust, and there is no transmission fluid mess to work around.
So, unlike before, changing the '05 shifter requires a floor jack and jackstands at the least, or if you've fallen off as many dirt bikes as we have, a hoist. For the first time, though, count on several hours-shops will have the task down to a couple of hours after a few run-throughs.
Aside from saying it's a heavy-duty, well-built piece here, we'll let the photos and captions handle the details of Steeda's Tri-Ax shifter and move on to our driving impressions. Car owner Rich Robello was kind enough to let us do the snick-snick thing with his achingly new car, although we followed his cue and didn't try any hammering heroics with the five-speed's new joy lever. The action was definitely improved, with the rubbery offensiveness replaced by a manly precision. We judged the muscle required fine for enthusiasts and approaching noticeable for those weaned on four-banger lightweights. The gap between the gates is tight, so it takes a handful of shifts to get the feel down, but it is rewarding in its performance personality.

2004 SVT Cobra - Flame On!
Bobby Kimbrough's SVT Cobra Breathes Fire!
While he was losing the IRS, Bobby gained some Metco Motorsports aluminum rear suspension bars, Metco's double adjustable upper and solid lower aluminum control arms, Bilstein shocks and Eibach Sportline springs. The swap mandated Harris install a traditional set of "over-the-axle" exhaust pipes. Last time we looked, he was still riding on the stock Cobra disc brakes and 17 x 9-inch chromed Cobra wheels with 275/40R17 Mickey Thompson drag radials in the rear and Goodyear 275/45R17 in the front.
The interior of this insanely powerful Mustang with the "look at me" paint is surprisingly close to stock. Changes include a couple of Auto Meter Lunar gauges for monitoring boost and fuel pressure, plus a UPR chrome interior trim package and a Reichard Racing pistol-grip shift handle.
"Someday I might want to add some racing seats and harnesses," Bobby told us, "but for now the interior suits me fine."
If only he could be so content with the engine mods. Last we heard, Bobby was talking with Harris Racing about plans to upgrade the 4.6-liter's internals, add nitrous, go with different camshaft profiles and perform some head work. The next time we get passed on I-485 by this flamed Cobra, we expect it will be putting out close to 900 horsepower!

WORKING with laser beams is a hazardous business, because our eyes focus the laser light onto a tiny spot on the retina. A strong steady beam or a brief intense pulse can burn the retina, causing a permanent blind spot. But American researchers are now developing new devices to prevent lasers injuring eyes without obscuring their normal vision.
There are stringent safety rules governing the power of lasers that people might be exposed to in day-to-day life, for example in supermarkets. But laboratory lasers have caused a few eye injuries, and the development of new military laser systemsfor use either as anti-personnel weapons ("Lasers designed to blind",
Those who work with lasers have long shielded their eyes with goggles or protective lenses made from materials which absorb light ...

Kampala — The International Monetary Fund has downgraded Uganda's 2011/12 growth by one percentage point to 4 per cent, saying the crisis in the Eurozone is likely to slow progress of the economy.
This is the first time in more than 5 years that the IMF has projected Uganda's growth below 5 per cent. The downgraded growth is an indication that Uganda's economy has this time round been weakened by both external and domestic factors.
Speaking in an interview, Mr Thomas Richardson, the IMF resident representative, told Daily Monitor: "Growth in Uganda will slowdown in 2011/12 than earlier projected mainly due to the weaker global economy."
Late last year Bank of Uganda revised the country's growth to 5 per cent down from a 6.7 per cent. Uganda, in 2011 endured some of its worst economic indicators exacerbated by high inflation, high interest rates, scarcity of key commodities and power shortages among others.
Mr Richardson said: "There's a lot of uncertainty about what will happen in Europe but given the current baseline forecast for the Eurozone, we think growth in Uganda will be between 4 and 5 per cent." According to Mr Richardson, the slowdown in the Eurozone will be felt through reduced demand for exports and tourism.
Reacting to the matter, Dr Adam Mugume, the Bank of Uganda director for research said economic activity is slowing down but not necessarily stagnated," adding that the country's widening current account requires financing through increases in exchange inflows.

Accommodation and facilities:
Silent location at end of beach. Nice bird life around the creek behind the resort. Pool area is tiny and you have to walk through the restaurant to reach the beach. No one seems to care of if the outdoor showers work or if there are other repairs to be done. Restaurant is poor due to Thai food - you find an excellent place 200 meters south on the road, beside the petrol station. Very friendly staff and very good cleaning ladies. Very hard beds ... Beach needs cleaning as most places. Strongly recommend to protect the feets from glass.

Accommodation and facilities:
Here we have stayed many times. Nice bungalows. Pleasant and helpful staff. No buffet breakfast but you order your breakfast from a menu. Is it something that you want that is not on the menu (eg yougurt) you can get it anyway. All the food we ordered at the restaurant was good except for a fillet mignon, which was hardly a fillet, it was too tough for that.

We spent 5 nights in the resort and had a wonderful time there. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We caused them many troubles arriving one night too soon - and got so much help in return. The rooms are very clean und the beach bars of Klong Nin are not too far away (2 min walk). Everything is quiet, peaceful and relaxed. We would definitely go there again.
Reservation service:
Very easy and comfortable. Thank you!

We are a family travelling with three children. Lanta Ilmare suited us very well! Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice and clean bungalow (family). Good food in the restaurant, and just a few hundered meters to walk on the beach or on the road to other restaurants. Some shopping also close by. Calm and relaxing place and nice beach, apart from the glass on the beach, something that annoyed us on several beaches on Lanta.
Reservation service:
Booking went fine also for airport pick-up!

Prime Minister Najib Mikati heads a Cabinet session at the Grand Serail in Beirut, Lebanon, Wednesday, March 21, 2012. (The Daily Star/Mohammad Azakir)
BEIRUT: Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in remarks Wednesday that the Cabinet would only refer to Parliament a proposed salary scale adjustment for public sector workers after the necessary funding for it was secured.
"The wage scale [adjustment] for public sector workers will only be referred to Parliament if the appropriate sources of funding become available," Mikati told As-Safir newspaper.
The Union Coordination Committee, a coalition of private and public school teachers and public sector employees, announced Tuesday a general strike to be held on Oct. 10 and vowed it would not back down from its demands for a public sector salary increase.
The UCC insists that the Cabinet forward the salary scale draft law for endorsement in Parliament.
Three weeks ago, the government adopted a new wage scale but has yet to refer it to Parliament for final approval.
The measure, should it be approved, would see category one employees (such as general directors of public departments) receiving an increase on LL2.9 million a month; category two employees would get an LL1.7 million hike; category three employees would get an LL940,000 increase; and the state's lowest-ranking clerks should receive a LL210,000 hike.
Public high-school teachers, the main advocates of the new scale, will receive around LL1 million in raises, while public elementary school teachers will receive LL789,000.
Earlier this week, Lebanon's Economic Committees handed Mikati a copy of a study that warns of negative consequences of the implementation of the wage scale adjustment.
The committees, supported by the private sector, have voiced fear that any hasty wage hike for public sector employees would cause a rise in inflation and increase in the budget deficit.
Although not dismissing the proposed wage hike, Central Bank Governor Riad Salameh says he favors implementing the increase in increments over the next three years to reduce the impact of the measure on the monetary situation and inflation.

Coffee Bars Order Coffee Online - So can you!
Have you been thinking about opening up a coffee bar but you are trying to figure out the logistics of ordering and getting supplies? Many people are not aware of this, but coffee bars order coffee online and then have it delivered to their business. This allows for them to run their business smoothly, getting the coffee that they need when they need it, but not putting any more effort into the ordering and receiving process than is necessary.
Healthy Coffee - Live long and prosper!
Ever wondered if what you are drinking is healthy coffee, or has it never even crossed your mind. There has been a lot of debate over the years about how healthy or unhealthy coffee is for the body. If you ask any doctor on the spot most of them would probably give you a vague answer that included eating and drinking everything in moderation. While is this a good rule of thumb, what if you knew that the cup of warmth that you enjoy every morning was actually healthy coffee?
Decaf Coffee - Whats the fuss over caffeine?
So, every time you go out and get coffee you order decaf. What exactly is that? Do you know what the difference is besides the caffeine between the regular coffee and the decaf? It is funny how we can go through much of our lives eating and drinking things, such as decaf coffee, and not really know much about them. Here you will learn a little bit more about that hot brew that you enjoy so much. You might actually learn something that you could have never guessed.

Coffee Roasters - From Grean to Bean!
There are many coffee roasters on the market today each of them offering you something different. Ten or 15 years ago there were not many home use machines for consumers to buy, but now you can find some really practical as well as really high quality machines that will allow you to not only brew your own coffee in your home, but also roast it.
Which Coffee Grinder? Here are the basics…
A coffee grinder is an essential part of any coffee lovers set up. If you want the best tasting coffee you need to make sure that you have a grinder. When you use a grinder you are able to use freshly roasted beans to make your coffee. The fresher your coffee beans are the better your coffee will taste. If you have been using pre-ground coffee beans up until now, you don't know what you are missing!
Coffee Makers for the home, office or business!
There are many different coffee makers on the market today for you to choose from, you simply have to determine what sort of machine you would like. Whether you need a machine for home, the office, or your business there are plenty of different models for you to choose from. Whether you are making coffee for just a few or you are making coffee for a whole café or restaurant full of people, there is a machine out there for you. Some of the most impressive machines on the market today are of the commercial variety because they are capable of doing so much. Shopping for commercial machines really can be overwhelming, though!
Coffee Supplies from people who really know what you want!
If you own a business and you serve coffee there are going to be some coffee supplies that you need. The best way to get these supplies is to find someone who has all or most of them so you can get everything from the same reliable source. You may be surprised how many things that you need to consider when you look into coffee supplies, as there are many different things out there for you to think about.
Coffee Beans - Full of surprises!
You drink coffee all the time, but do you really know what coffee beans are? Do you know where they come from? There is a lot that you can learn about these little beans that may enlighten you or just surprise you. Perhaps if you learn a little bit more about the beans you will enjoy that cup of coffee each morning or afternoon all the more.
Coffee Services to help your business stay at the top!
Coffee services are as vast and varied as the different types of coffee that are on the market today, so if you would like to have coffee in the office there are many different services that will make coffee service as simple as possible. Many businesses are hesitant to serve coffee because they know that it can be more of a hassle than it is worth. When you have the right services at your beck and call it will suddenly become so much easier to serve coffee in the work place.

Oral history
Sesquicentennial oral history project
Marking the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the University of Massachusetts, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) is conducting an oral history project to capture the many voices and diverse experiences that make up our campus community. The anniversary presents an opportunity to reflect on the real achievements — and real challenges — of public higher education over the past century and a half, and a chance to consider where we would like to be in the future.
Over the course of eighteen months, the staff of SCUA and our associates will conduct one hundred and fifty interviews with an array of administrators, faculty, students, alumni, and university employees, as well as selected members of the local community. As they are completed, the interviews will be made available to the public through this website and Credo, SCUA's digital repository.
If you are interested in participating in the project, please contact the SCUA staff.
Regional history
As one of the main repositories documenting the history of western Massachusetts and New England, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives collects primary materials relating to the political, cultural, economic, and intellectual life of our region, and the lives and experiences of its residents.
Concentrated in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the collections in SCUA touch on many aspects of the history of the region with developing depth in immigration, labor, work, and industry, social change and movements for social change, and literature and the arts. Among the more valuable collections for the political history of the region is the papers of Silvio O. Conte, Republican congressman from the First District of Massachusetts from 1959-1991. A member of the House Appropriations Committee (and its ranking minority member from 1979-1991), Conte is particularly remembered for his work in Health and Human Services, education, and the environment. SCUA also holds collections for state representatives John Haigis and Maurice Donahue, as well as other figures involved in political life in the Commonwealth.
Although the Department holds materials relating to individual communities in western Massachusetts, the history of the Quabbin watershed is a particular focal point. SCUA collects books printed in the Quabbin region and more generally, in rural New England prior to 1900, as well as manuscript, printed, and photographic collections relating to Quabbin towns.
Significant collections
- Business and industry
- In addition to collections relating to organized labor and the labor movement, SCUA attempts to document the experience of work and the business community to provide a rounded understanding of work life in New England. For a more complete listing, see our guide for Labor, Work, and Industry.
- Civic organizations and charities
- Collections ranging from the records of charitable organizations that provide social services to groups that foster civic engagement and social justice, benevolent and ethnic self-help societies, to organizations that support social and professional communities.
- Family history
- SCUA has a strong interest in "family collections," typically collections that include correspondence, photograph albums, family and farm accounts, and other materials that reveal the every day lives of New Englanders. Researchers on family life and genealogy should note that many collections indexed under other subjects contain personal and family information of some importance. Our printed materials collections include many local and county histories, genealogies, and other resources which may be useful for understanding family life.
- Immigration, demography, and ethnicity
- SCUA is particularly rich in collections documenting the Polish immigrant community in Massachusetts, but our holdings include fine material on Southeast Asian immigrants and African Americans.
- Medical history
- Collections include daybooks and medical accounts of physicians, primarily from the nineteenth century, personal papers of physicians, and some materials on public health policy.
- Military history
- Although SCUA has scattered holdings relating to earlier wars, the department houses interesting materials relating to World War II and the War in Vietnam, with the latter concentrated on the antiwar movement.
- Political life and culture
- The distinctive political culture of Massachusetts and formal and informal political activity in the Commonwealth. Although the collections extend back into the nineteenth century, our focus is primarily on the post-World War II period.
- Printing in rural Massachusetts
- SCUA collects books, broadsides, and other materials printed in rural New England prior to 1900. The collections include a growing collection for the printers in the Quabbin region, Solomon and John Howes, but also includes works printed in small towns throughout Berkshire, Hampshire, Hamden, and Franklin Counties.
- Quabbin Regional collections
- Collections relating to all aspects of life and the legacy of the four towns inundated by the Quabbin Reservoir: Dana, Greenwich, Enfield, and Prescott, as well as surrounding communities such as New Salem, Petersham, and Wendell. In our rare books holdings, we have a number of works printed in Enfield or Greenwich, mostly by Solomon and John Howe.
- Religious life
- Our efforts to document the spiritual lives and religious commitments of New Englanders has resulted in a number of manuscript and archival collections. Our social change holdings include a number of collections on spiritually-motivated social reform, and our rare book holdings include hundreds of published sermons and other printed materials relating to religious life in the region.

United Congregational Church of Holyoke (Holyoke, Mass.)
United Congregational Church of Holyoke (Holyoke, Mass.) Records, ca.1830-1990.
Call no.: MS 787
The present day United Congregational Church of Holyoke is the product of complex history of growth and consolidation of five separate churches responding to the changing demographics and spiritual needs of the city. Established in 1799, the First Congregational Church in Holyoke was initially a small congregation perched above the floodplain south of the center of town, sharing preachers with the equally sparse population of Baptists until the establishment of the First Baptist Church in 1826. The First Congregational Church was finally erected in 1838, and ten years later, the Second Church was established in to serve the needs of the growing Protestant population in the city center, building their own church in 1853 as the mill economy was booming. Reaching out to the millworkers, members of the Second Church opened the Grace Mission in 1870, which spun off into its own church in 1896. Skinner Chapel was founded in 1909 as an addition to the Second Congregational Church, dedicated to the prominent Skinner family. Finally, the German Reformed Church was organized in 1892, though meetings were held years earlier. In the latter part of the twentieth century, however, declining memberships in each of these churches led to a series of mergers, beginning in 1961 when the German Reformed Church united with the First Congregational to become the First United Congregational Church. Grace Church and the First UCC merged in 1973 to become Grace United, and in 1996, Grace joined with the Second Congregational Church to become the present UCC of Holyoke.
The records of the UCC of Holyoke document over 200 years of the ecclesiatical history of an industrial city. In addition to records of membership, baptisms, marriages, and church governance, the collection includes valuable records of the women's missionary society, the German Maenner Bund, and a long run of church newsletters that offer insight into the weekly course of events in the religious community. Materials relating to Skinner Chapel are part of the collections of Wistariahurst Museum.

Abbe, Edward H.
Edward H. Abbe Papers, 1828-2004.
Call no.: MS 736
Born in Syracuse, N.Y., in 1915 and raised largely in Hampton, Va., Edward Abbe seemed destined to be an engineer. The great nephew of Elihu Thomson, an inventor and founding partner in General Electric, and grandson of Edward Folger Peck, an early employee of a precursor of that firm, Abbe came from a family with a deep involvement in electrification and the development of street railways. After prepping at the Rectory and Kent Schools, Abbe studied engineering at the Sheffield School at Yale, and after graduation in 1938, accepted a position with GE. For 36 years, he worked in the Industrial Control Division in New York and Virginia, spending summers at the family home on Martha's Vineyard. After retirement in 1975, he and his wife Gladys traveled frequently, cruising both the Atlantic and Pacific.
Ranging from an extensive correspondence from his high school and college days to materials relating to his family's involvement in engineering, the Abbe collection offers an in depth perspective on an educated family. An avid traveler and inveterate keeper, Ed Abbe gathered a diverse assemblage of letters, diaries, and memorabilia relating to the history of the Abbe, Peck, Booth, Gifford, and Boardman families. The collection is particularly rich in visual materials, including albums and photographs, depicting homes, travel, and family life over nearly a century.

Founded under the Morrill Land Grant Act of 1862 as the Massachusetts Agricultural College, UMass Amherst has long been dedicated to the study and teaching of agriculture and the natural sciences. One of two land grant institutions in the Commonwealth (along with MIT), the university has played an important role in the development of scientific agriculture in New England and has been a major factor in agricultural instruction through its classes and extension service.
SCUA's collections contain a wealth of information on the history of agriculture and related fields, including horticulture, botany, entomology, animal husbandry, gardening, and landscape design. The strength of the collection lies in documenting the development of American agricultural sciences with an emphasis upon the northeastern states, but it is supplemented with numerous works on British, French, and German agriculture. Adding additional depth are the records of the several departments at UMass Amherst charged with instruction in the agricultural sciences and the papers of individual agricultural educators.
Currently, SCUA is particularly interested in documenting the growth of organic agriculture, heritage breeds, and the practices of sustainable living.

I have been here 3times and all I can say is " awesome" Walter and Lee are so fun to talk to, very good hosts and would recommend this place to anyone. Love love love it

This was a last-minute booking due to a schedule mix-up. All I can say is that it was "okay." Lee was very pleasant, the breakfasts were good. Our room and bathroom (old but clean) were very small, even cramped. We were there late at night so it wasn't really an issue.

Walter and Lee were excellent hosts. The Lily Pad Cottage was perfect and secluded. Quite simply, Lee's breakfast was gourmet. He really is a phenomenal cook. I couldn't have pictured a better time staying at a bed and breakfast. Truly relaxing, welcoming, and superb. We hope to stay there again. Ryan and Michelle

Walter & Lee were excellent hosts. Lee cooked unusual and excellent breakfasts each morning. While eating had very informative conversations about the house and area. Pointed out very good restaurants to eat at.

Lee and Walter - we had an amazing stay! The hospitality, accommodations, and breakfasts were all over the top. We truly felt at home and plan to come back very soon. We stayed in the Lilly Pad Cottage and even though it isn't a huge room we were completely comfortable and had a relaxing time. It was great visiting with you both! See you soon!

My husband booked us the Lily Suite for our first wedding anniversary this past weekend. It was enchanting! Lee and Walter were amazing, hospitable hosts, and Lee's breakfasts were nothing short of incredible. The suite was cozy and had all the amenities one could want. Lee and Walter were so friendly, and we had great conversations with them. They were full of tips about what to do and where to eat, and when we left, we felt like they had become our friends. Lee even hugged me goodbye! The icing on the cake was this: upon finding out that we were there for our first anniversary, Lee and Walter presented us with a dozen gorgeous red roses and a bottle of champagne! That really blew us away. We will definitely be back!

Lee and Walter were perfect hosts! The room was quaint and full of interesting decor. We enjoyed looking at everything. The outside of the B and B was decorated with the most wonderful Halloween decorations. This provided a very welcoming atmosphere after traveling to get to Eureka Springs. It also made it easy to locate in the dark after a day of sightseeing. The breakfast was amazing each day! Although Lee says he recently taught himself to cook, we already missed having breakfast with him today. The breakfasts were comparable to an upscale restaurant. Both Lee and Walter were a wealth of information regarding things to do and places to see in the Eureka Springs area. They truly made our stay more enjoyable and we look forward to seeing them again! Thank you Lee and Walter for your help and hospitality!

We chose the Gilded Lily as our wedding anniversary present/retreat in 2010 and were so impressed with the owners, Lee and Walter that we decided to make it an annual event. We did not reserve a suite soon enough in 2011; however, we did return in August 2012, and have already reserved a spot in 2013. The ambiance, courtesy, professional attitude--as well as the exceptional culinary efforts--are incomparable. As a real bonus, they have recently purchased a bar in downtown, and made it what we deem as the best club in town--with the best bloody Marys one could desire. We're devotees for life. --Thanks, guys, Mike and Suzy Henderson Just an additional word about Lee and Walter personally: two more hospitable, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable fellows you couldn't hope to meet. They're warm and fun to talk with, just all-around great guys. Thanks again. Suzy

Walter and Lee were just awesome hosts this past weekend; we could not have asked for a better time. Lee cooked a 5 star breakfast and had it ready each day at 9am. This breakfast would have easily cost 10+ dollars per plate at any restaurant. The Lily Suite is very roomy. We were very impressed with the size of the jacuzzi and the relaxed atmosphere of the suite. We completely fell in love with the B&B experience and look forward to staying with Walter and Lee once again. I thank both of you :) Jason & Kristin Summers

My partner and I stayed at the Gilded Lily for our anniversary. It was the first time we had stayed at a B&B. The whole experience was absolutely wonderful. Walter and Lee made us feel at home and the food was totally awesome! We look forward to booking with them again. Oh and their dogs are so funny. Yup we will have to go back again and again.

Katherine Heigl blogs again, this time on marriage and husband Josh Kelley
New celebrity blogger Katherine Heigl is back for another personal essay on iVillage. While Heigl focused on her daughter, Naleigh, in her first missive, the star uses her second blog post to discuss the secret to her marriage. Heigl has been married to musician Josh Kelley since Dec. 23, 2007.
"Josh and I have only been married four years and though that may seem record-breaking in Hollywood, we're still considered newlyweds to the rest of the world," she admits.
Heigl writes about how she was talking to a friend about why so many marriages fail nowadays, and the friend told her about a South American civilization "that has a practice of holding a four-day festival once a year where every man and woman of age in the village dresses up in costume and masks, celebrates, sings, eats, dances and ultimately physically connects with anyone who may catch their fancy -- whether they are married or not. The villagers have four days to act out all their fantasies, sexual or otherwise, with no consequences to the relationship they may already be in. The result is that their divorce rate is so low it doesn't exist."
Very interesting -- but not something Heigl would ever do.
"I have no desire to physically hook up with any man other than my husband and have been a serial monogamist from the moment of my first serious relationship at 20," she says. "I have never been able to connect with a man sexually without it becoming emotional, without giving a piece of my heart and soul to that connection. I always loved the idea of Samantha on 'Sex and the City,' but it just isn't how I'm built."
Heigl can next be seen in "One for the Money," out Jan. 27.

Thank you RFT for choosing us! Our family has worked hard since 1966 to provide the St. Louis Area with a quality pool room the entire family could enjoy. We are truly honored!
Best Place to Play Pool St. Louis 2009 - Cue & Cushion
2425 Woodson Road
Overland, MO 63114
Shooting pool in a bar with a pool table is good fun, but where do you go when you just want to rack and shoot? The Cue & Cushion is that rarity — a genuine pool hall attached to a billiard- and pool-table dealership. ("Dealership" because these pieces of furniture are as streamlined and beautiful as automobiles. And like Volvos, some have heated cushions.) The carpeting keeps the volume down, save for the intermittent clack of the balls on the table. It's a good place for serious pool playing — so serious, in fact, that there is no bar. That cuts out the "I can only play when I'm drunk" crowd — not to say that it's a bad crowd. Some of our best friends (heck, some of us) are that crowd. The way we see it, that's drinking with a little pool playing thrown in, whereas Cue & Cushion is pool playing — or billiards or snooker — with a little pinball thrown in. This parlor is like a showroom where you can test drive all the merchandise every day. And we do mean every day: The pool hall's open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. (Friday and Saturday till 3 a.m.). The base rate's $3.60 per hour (per person) with numerous discounts. All are welcome; go sharpen your game.

Although relatively rare, if mastitis is not treated effectively (or soon enough), it is possible to develop a breast abscess. This is a collection of pus inside the swollen alveoli and breast tissue. The signs of a breast abscess can be the same as for mastitis (without much improvement using antibiotic treatment), but the swelling over the reddened area often fluctuates and can present as 'pitting oedema'. This is a swelling of the skin that when you push your finger into it, a small impression, or 'pit' stays for a few seconds after you take your finger away.
Treatments for a breast abscess include going into the hospital to have antibiotics through a drip in the vein, and/or an operation to drain the abscess. You can take your baby with you and continue to feed from the breast after the operation, if it is not too painful. Talk to your doctor about making the incision as far away as possible from your areola. If it is too painful to breastfeed, then gentle hand expressing of your milk may be possible. Continuing to empty the breast after the operation will reduce the pressure away from where the abscess was removed. Some women will try and resume their breastfeeding after a couple of days, when the incision is more healed.
It is not uncommon for breast milk to leak from the incision after the removal of a breast abscess. This may persist for a few weeks. However, breast milk does contain many anti-infective and healing agents that can prevent any further infections and help the breast tissue to repair. You may wish to place a clean, gauze dressing over the incision and change this regularly until it completely heals.

You will have access to your own private account that will enable you to easily declare for swim meets, sign-up for jobs, see your children's swim times history, maintain your own contact information, and more.
We look forward to having you join the Nu Wave Swim Club year round program and are excited for another great year!
There is a non-refundable $275.00 annual registration fee for all year round team members. If joining the team after February 1, the non-refundable annual registration fee is $175. This fee includes USS registration, swim cap, t-shirt, and certain fixed costs incurred by the team in handling a swimmer. All registration fees must be paid upon registration.
Nu Wave is a year round swim club, committed to paying coaches and pool rental 12 months per year. Therefore, dues are based on a twelve month contract. There are no refunds for withdrawal from the team after November 1, 2014. Our fiscal year is September 1- August 31.
Because the administrative aspects of the club are performed by parent volunteers, we seek simplicity in these matters. For those swimmers who are able, we encourage payment of dues annually. If you opt for the annual payment plan for team dues, a summary of dues by training group is as follows:
Riptide $975 Annual payment due at Registration
Tidal Wave $1000 Annual payment due at Registration
Cylcone $1,100 Annual payment due at Registration
Tsunami $1,250 Annual payment due at Registration
Senior $1,375 Annual payment due at Registration
Pre National / National $1,500 Annual payment due at Registration
If you instead opt for the monthly payment option, a monthly dues amount will be due at Registration and on the 1st of each month afterwards from October 1 through June 1 (a total of 10 monthly payments). The dues amount per month varies according to group:
Riptide $ 112 per month
Tidal Wave $ 115 per month
Cyclone $126 per month
Tsunami $143 per month
Senior $158 per month
National/Pre-National $172 per month
Each year Nu Wave host its annual fundrasier, USA Swimming Foundation Swim-a-thon, a fun and easy way to collect the much needed funds for our organization. The goal is for each swimmer to raise at least $300 through pledges. Swimmers will be assessed up to a $300 fee if they fail to meet their fundraising goal. Donations are tax deductible.
