5. Give your lawn an edge.
Tidily edged beds and sidewalk areas give a landscape a professional look. "Whether the bed lines are straight or curved, they'll look better crisp rather than ragged," says Doug Hall, senior editor of Organic Gardening magazine.
A round-point spade is among the most effective tools for edging lawns. Hold it at a right angle and insert the spade into the soil right along the garden border or sidewalk, and push it along the edge for a clean cut similar to that of a powered electric edger. (But without the pollution.)
6. Make the most of mulch.
Apply a fresh layer of untreated mulch to your flower beds for a fresh, clean look, or simple rake the existing mulch lightly for the same groomed effect. Just stay away from synthetically dyed mulches, and if you have dogs or your guests do, avoid cocoa bean shell mulch—it's potentially toxic to pooches. For more info, read How—and Why—to Mulch the Heck out of Your Garden.
7. Create one focal flower pot.
"Instead of diffusing your efforts all over the yard, plant one big, beautiful container, and place it on the deck or patio, or wherever the guests will congregate," suggests Hall. "Instant gratification."
Organic Gardening magazine offers the following recommendations for choosing the right container plants:
• Choose plants that will last all season in your container, such as summer annual flowers or tropical plants with bright foliage, as opposed to spring ephemerals or bulbs.
• Consider the light exposure where the container will be placed, then select plants for that exposure—sun or shade.
• Since soil in small pots dries out faster, larger containers are easier to keep watered when the weather turns hot; however, big pots are heavy to move, so put the container in place before filling it with soil.

Tongariro National Park is the oldest national park in New Zealand, located in the central North Island. It has been acknowledged by UNESCO as one of the 25 mixed cultural and natural World Heritage Sites.
Tongariro National Park was the fourth National Park established in the world. The active volcanic mountains Ruapehu, Ngauruhoe, and Tongariro are located in the centre of the park.
There are a number of Māori religious sites within the park, such as one at the grave to Te Heuheu Herekeikei. The summits of Tongariro, Ngauruhoe and Ruapehu are tapu (sacred).
Most of the park is located in the Ruapehu District (Manawatu-Wanganui Region), although the northeast is in the Taupo District (Waikato Region, or Hawke's Bay Region to the north).
Tongariro National Park stretches around the massif of the three volcanoes Mount Ruapehu, Mount Ngauruhoe, and Mount Tongariro. The Pihanga Scenic Reserve, containing Lake Rotopounamu, Mount Pihanga and Mount Kakaramea, though outside the main park area, is part of the park.
On the park borders are the small towns of National Park Village and Ohakune. Further away are Turangi, Waiouru, and Raetihi. Within the park borders, the only settlements are the tourism-based village of Whakapapa and Iwikau Village, which is in a nearby ski-field and consists solely of ski accommodation. Tongariro National Park is surrounded by well-maintained roads that roughly follow the park borders and provide easy access. In the west, State Highway 4 passes National Park village, and in the east, State Highway 1, known for this stretch as the Desert Road, runs parallel to the Tongariro River. State Highway 47 joins these two highways to the north. The southern link is State Highway 49. The North Island Main Trunk railway from Auckland to Wellington passes National Park village.
The first activities in the young Tongariro National Park were the construction of tourist huts at the beginning of the 20th century. But it was not before opening of the railway in 1908 and the building of roads in the 1930s that a significant number of people visited the park. The second Tongariro National Park Act, in 1922, started some active conservation efforts, but it was not until 1931 that the first permanent park ranger began work. Road construction into Whakapapa valley had already begun in the 1920s. The first ski hut was built in 1923 at an elevation of 1770 m, thereafter a road, and, in 1938, a ski lift in the area. This early tourist development explains the rather uncommon existence of a permanently inhabited village and fully developed ski area within a national park. The hotel Chateau Tongariro, which is still the centre of Whakapapa today, was established in 1929.
In the early 20th century, park administrators introduced heather to the park, for grouse hunting. Grouse were never actually introduced, but the heather is sprawling, threatening the ecological system and endemic plants of the park. Efforts are being made to control the plant's spread, however complete eradication seems unlikely.
The western diversion takes water from six rivers and streams from the Whakapapa River to the Whanganui River, into Lake Rotoaira via Lake Otamangakau. The Tokaanu power station is connected to Lake Rotoaira via a six kilometre tunnel through Mount Tihia. It also draws water from the Tongariro River via the Poutu tunnel and canal.
On the eastern side of Mount Ruapehu, water is diverted from the Kaimanawa Ranges and headwaters of the Wahianoa River through a 20 km tunnel into the Rangipo dam. The 120MW Rangipo power station is 230 m below ground. Its turbines are located in a cavern cut from solid rock and lined with concrete. Genesis Energy has developed mitigation measures with stakeholders that aim to lessen the environmental effects of the Tongariro Power Scheme.
Some of these measures include lake level management, ecological monitoring programmes, and agreements with local iwi to establish a process for iwi involvement in environmental monitoring and access to information. The electricity generated at the Tongariro Power Scheme goes into the national grid. Then it is distributed to residential, commercial and industrial customers throughout New Zealand.
The most popular track in Tongariro National Park is the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. Most of the track is also part of the Tongariro Northern Circuit, a two to four day tour, which is one of New Zealand's nine Great Walks. Side trips to the summits of Mount Tongariro and Mount Ngauruhoe are possible on these tracks. Another route is the three to six day Round the Mountain Track around Mount Ruapehu. Besides these, there are numerous shorter tracks appropriate for day tramps. With this track net, three camp sites, two emergency shelters, nine public and four private huts and the facilities in Whakapapa, the park is well developed for tourism. These tracks also serve as winter routes, as well as the track to the summit of Mount Ruapehu. Rock-climbing is also an option. Snow season is from the end of July to early November. The biggest ski area, also called Whakapapa, is on the north-western slopes of Mount Ruapehu. It has 15 lifts, covering an area of 5.5 km². Directly next to the ski field are 47 ski club huts; most of them also accommodate non-club members. The next settlement is on the bottom, in Whakapapa. A slightly smaller ski field called Turoa is on the south-western slope. Though it has only nine lifts, the skiing area, of 5 km², is almost as large as Whakapapas. There is no accommodation at the ski field; the nearest town is Ohakune. These two ski fields came under common management in 2000. Ski passes can be used on both fields, and a lift or run from one field to the other is planned. Beside these major ski fields, there are also the Tukino ski area, privately run by the Desert Alpine Ski Club, and the Aorangi Ski Club on the south-eastern slope. It has two T-bar lifts, and covers 1.9 km².

EGLIN AFB — Bill and Suzette Greer had been looking at planes outside the Air Force Armament Museum for nearly an hour Tuesday before they realized the museum was closed because of the federal government shutdown.
The visitors from Texas were disgusted.
"You can't even use the bathroom, but I tell you what, those people in Washington, they've got their bathrooms going," said Bill, a retired Army veteran. "When we decided to send all the non-essential personnel home, why aren't all the senators and congressmen there?
"If the government's closed, what are they doing?"
Bill said the sole bright spot in the entire mess was that active-duty military will continue to work and get paid.
Fort Walton Beach resident Leon Greene waited Tuesday for his wife and son outside the Social Security office on Racetrack Road in Fort Walton Beach. The office was open for business as usual.
He said he could see both sides of the budget issue that has stalled the country.
"It's just a mess," he said. "Seems like they all can't get together. It's the same old thing."
Greene and his family were not expecting a direct impact from the shutdown. However, they could benefit from the Affordable Care Act, which kicked off Tuesday with insurance exchanges opening across the country.
Greene has had two heart attacks and a quintuple bypass, while his wife has survived cancer twice. Their adult son is bipolar and possibly schizophrenic, he said.
"I think the Obamacare plan, like I understand it, is going to help people," said Greene, who added that his family has struggled to find affordable insurance.
But he also believes America must start living within its means.
"There's got to be a budget," he said. "They can't just keep printing more money and going farther and farther in debt. I sort of felt it would come to this."

Developed by the Massachusetts Association of Regional Planning Agencies
Step 1:Identify areas within your municipality that you would like to see developed for commercial/industrial or mixed uses.
Ch. 43D expedited permitting is specific to sites designated as Priority Development Sites (PDS). The PDS may include an individual parcel or several contiguous parcels. The locations must be:
(1) zoned for commercial, industrial or mixed uses;
(2) eligible under applicable zoning provisions, including special permits or other discretionary permits, for the development or redevelopment of a building at least 50,000 square feet of gross floor area in new or existing buildings or structures; and
(3) approved by the landowner(s) as a priority development site.
In addition, there is a preference that locations meet one or more of the following criteria:
(1) located adjacent to areas of existing development;
(2) include underutilized buildings or facilities; or
(3) located close to appropriate transit services.
In pursuing the Ch. 43D designation, the municipality is making a statement that these are the specific locations within the municipality where development should occur. The decision to prioritize these areas is very important.
In selecting a site, the municipality should consider: 1) the master plan for the community, 2) the regional plan for growth and development, 3) the availability of infrastructure, and 4) any community impacts that may be problematic in the permitting stage. The municipality will have 180 days to review permit applications within the PDS. To accomplish this task effectively, these factors must be assessed prior to designating a PDS.
Step 2: Consult your Regional Planning Agency (RPA)
RPAs have been selected by the Legislature as a partner in the Ch. 43D process. They have expertise in selecting appropriate sites, and navigating the steps in the Ch. 43D process, including the application and technical assistance request. In addition, they have partnerships with Mass Development and other agencies, and can assist with soliciting additional technical assistance from other sources.
Step 3: Approach the relevant landowners
Ch. 43D requires that every landowner within a PDS approves that the site receive that designation. While the majority of landowners appreciate this opportunity, it is important the engage them early in the process to receive support for moving forward. The landowner will ultimately be required to endorse the Ch. 43D application before it is submitted to the Interagency Permitting Board; other forms of consent letters will not be accepted during the application phase in lieu of landowner signatures on the application.
Step 4: Review Zoning Bylaws and Ordinances
Ch. 43D requires the municipality to issue decisions on all permits for a PDS project (see Step 5 for specific list) within 180 days of the application being deemed complete. In most cases, city or town ordinances and bylaws allow for a decision within this timeframe, but the administrative policies and scheduling needs to be adjusted. However, in some cases where bylaws spell out an order of review for the various boards sequentially, it may be practically impossible to review the project within 180 days. With town counsel assistance, towns should assess the local bylaws and ordinances to assure that the 180 day review period is possible, and if not, propose amendments prior to designating a PDS (i.e. simultaneous review of a permit application by multiple boards, joint board hearing).
The ordinance/bylaw review should take these requirements into account to assess whether an amendment is necessary to accomplish Ch. 43D. These steps will help determine the specific procedures that the municipality will utilize to meet the requirements of Ch. 43D.
Step 5: Consult with relevant boards and commissions
Orders of conditions and wetlands decisions issued by the Conservation Commission, Special Permits issued by the ZBA and/or Planning Board, Site Plan Review issued by the Planning Board, Flammable Materials License issued by the Fire Chief, historic district decisions, and Title V and septic decisions issued by the Board of Health are all subject to the 43D requirement that all permit reviews be completed within 180 days for projects on a PDS. Building permits issued by the building inspector, ANR plan approval and subdivisions under the subdivision control law are not affected by this statute.
In order to gather support at town meeting and effectively implement the expedited permitting statute, it is important to meet and discuss the Ch. 43D proposal with these boards to gather feedback and fully understand their particular review processes.
Furthermore, the relevant boards and commissions are a great resource to discuss technical assistance needs and procedural improvements.
Step 6: Finalize Location
Upon receiving feedback from the various boards and commission and landowners, the municipality is ready to finalize the location to propose to the legislative body for PDS determination. )
Step 7: Bring the Priority Development Site Proposal to the appropriate legislative body for approval
The town meeting, town council, or city council must approve the creation of a PDS by a simple majority vote. While this requirement seems onerous, the process has been smooth to date because the landowner(s), town leadership and relevant boards have been consulted and have supported the proposals. Among other things, those presenting at town meeting should consider highlighting the specifics of the Ch. 43D program including the prospective uses for the parcel, potential uses for the technical assistance grant, and the tax benefits of development on the proposed parcel.
Each Priority Development Site requires a separate vote of the Town Meeting, Town Council or City Council. Sample warrant text was prepared in conjunction with the Attorney General's Office and is available online at www.mass.gov/mpro under "Chapter 43D Expedited Permitting."
The vote of Town Meeting, Town Council or City Council does not constitute "opting in" to the program. The community does not accept the provisions of Ch. 43D on the PDS until after the Ch. 43D application is been approved by the Interagency Permitting Board (see Step 11).
Step 8: Amend Zoning Bylaws and Ordinances (if necessary)
When the town meeting considers the PDS application, it may also consider any zoning bylaw/ordinance amendments necessary to implement the requirements of Ch. 43D. Rather than wait until the application is approved, the town/city could consider any necessary changes at the time of PDS municipal approval.
This step requires time and resources that many municipalities may want to request in the technical assistance grant (see Step 10). This step may come later in the process, however the community should be aware that there is no "opt out" provision if the community accepts Ch. 43D and subsequent zoning changes fail to meet the required local vote. Therefore, it is strongly advised that communities make any zoning changes that would otherwise prohibit a 180-day review before opting in to Ch 43D.
Step 9: Identify a Single Point of Contact
Chapter 43D requires that a single person be designated to serve as the municipal point of contact on Priority Development Sites. The individual must be a municipal employee or an employee of a quasi-municipal agency who will be charged with responding to inquiries the site, providing and accepting permit applications, communicating decisions to applicants, etc. It is recommended that the designated Point of Contact be a staff member and not an elected official.
Step 10: Submit Application to Interagency Permitting Board
Upon completing the previous steps, the municipality must submit an application to the Interagency Permitting Board for approval. There is no particular timeline for this step. For instance, a community may pass a Chapter 43D article at Fall Town Meeting and submit applications six months later.
The Ch. 43D application must include details on the PDS and requests for a technical assistance grant (if being requested). The one-time grant is available to assist municipalities to meet the statutory requirements of Ch. 43D and to take actions that facilitate growth. The grant request does not have to be presented at the same time that the first Priority Development Site is designated. This request may be made at the same meeting or a later meeting. The grant can be used to hire municipal staff, or engage consultants to provide technical assistance, or invest in technology improvements related to increased permitting efficiency. In formulating the grant request, the municipality must define the various tasks for which it needs technical assistance, determine a budget, and identify a timeline to accomplish these tasks.
The Interagency Permitting Board meets regularly and makes all decisions with 60 days of receiving an application. For more details on the Board, please visit www.mass.gov/mpro and click Interagency Permitting Board.
Applications are due 21 days prior to the next regularly scheduled Board meeting, and applicants should appear in front of the Board to present their case and answer questions. For complete instructions on the applications process and eligible grant requests, please view the Guidance Tool at www.mass.gov/mpro under Chapter 43D Expedited Permitting.
Step 11: Opting in
Once the Interagency Permitting Board renders decisions on an application for PDS designation and a technical assistance grant, the municipality will be noticed and required to enter into a contract for that grant. Once the contract has been executed, the municipality will receive a check or electronic fund transfer from the Commonwealth for the technical assistance grant, if approved. Once the municipality cashes that check, accepts the electronic transfer, or endorses an opt-in form in the absence of a technical assistance grant, the municipality has officially "opted in" to the Ch. 43D program and a 120-day implementation period begins. If a grant request was not made, the community will sign a Chapter 43D Acceptance Form for the site(s) and this will begin the 120 day period. During that 4-month period, the municipality must reform all the necessary procedures, bylaws and rules in order to issue all permitting decisions for a project within the PDS within 180 days. Once the 120-day period expires, the community is legally obligated for a period no less than five years to render permitting decisions on a PDS within 180 days or less . There is no "opt out" provision during these five years.
Please note that this step-by-step guide is a resource to steer a municipality through the various steps necessary to adopt and implement Ch. 43D. This is not intended to substitute the regulations, 400 CMR 2.00, or proper legal counsel. In addition, there are several helpful documents available through the Mass Permit Regulatory Office at www.mass.gov/mpro.

2012 another good year for ND cropland valuesFARGO – A January 2012 county survey conducted by the North Dakota office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service confirmed what anyone who has been following the farmland market knew: Cropland had another strong year because values were up about 18 percent statewide.
By: NDSU Extension Service, INFORUM
NDSU Extension Service
FARGO – A January 2012 county survey conducted by the North Dakota office of the National Agricultural Statistics Service confirmed what anyone who has been following the farmland market knew: Cropland had another strong year because values were up about 18 percent statewide.
"By any measure, it has been a historical run for farmland values," said Andy Swenson, North Dakota State University Extension Service farm management specialist. "Since 2003, cropland values have increased at an average annual rate of about 13 percent, with the sharpest increases occurring since 2007. This surpasses an eight-year period of strong growth in the 1940s."
Swenson said the strongest run-up in cropland values during the past 100 years was a nine-year period – 1973 through 1981 – that averaged 18 percent annually. Land values then dropped 40 percent from 1981 through 1988.
"It was 24 years – in 2005 – before values again reached those that were achieved in 1981," he said.
The prevailing theme fueling land markets since 2007 has been profitable crop production and low interest rates. Strong crop prices and generally strong yields have more than offset spiraling production costs, Swenson said. Another factor is the downside risk to producers. This has been mitigated by the strong prices at which they can insure the crop.
A major concern to the land market is the necessity of continued high crop prices because costs of production have more than doubled in a decade. There also is the risk of higher interest rates and an imminent reduction in government support programs for agriculture.
The largest increase in cropland values from January 2011 to January 2012 was 28 percent in the southeastern region to $2,120 per acre, followed by increases of 22 percent to $2,195 in the northern Red River Valley and 17 to 19 percent for these three regions: east-central region to $1,425, southern Red River Valley to $3,083 and northeastern region to $1,246.
Cropland values increased 15 percent in the south-central region to $1,017. The smallest increases, 12 to 13 percent, occurred in the northwestern region to $666, southwestern region to $816 and north-central region to $1,032.
"The survey indicated that land rents, as typical, did not change as much in percentage as land values," Swenson said. "On average, cropland rents increased about 6 percent. This was still a strong increase from a historical perspective."
The largest increase, 12 percent, occurred in the south-central region. The average rent is $47.10 per acre. The east-central region increased 8.5 percent to $56.10. It increased 7 percent per acre in the southern Red River Valley to $101.10, northern Red River Valley to $76.50 and southeastern region to $89.10.
Land rent rates in the northwestern region increased 5 percent to $33.50 per acre. The smallest increase, 4 percent per acre, was in the southwestern region to $34.30, north-central region to $45.60 and the northeastern region to $47 per acre.
Swenson cautioned that the values and rents are averages for large multicounty regions. Prices can vary considerably within a region because of soil types, drainage and location.

The Gathering—a series of events and festivals to celebrate Irish culture, history and genealogy—is building up a head of steam before it begins in January. According to the website for the Gathering, "throughout 2013, Ireland will open its arms to hundreds of thousands of friends and family from all over the world, calling them home to gatherings in villages, towns and cities…The Gathering Ireland 2013 provides the perfect excuse to reach out to those who have moved away, their relatives, friends and descendants, and invite them home."
Minister of State for Tourism & Sport Michael Ring has urged anyone interested in the Gathering Ireland 2013 to head along to one of the last two Town Hall meetings being held over the next week in Limerick and Kerry.
Some 7,000 people have attended 52 of these meetings since they kicked off in June, including at least 5,000 people in the last two months. Some 600 new Gathering events are now being planned at community level.
"The Town Hall meetings have been a great success. Thousands of people have attended, and loads of great events and Gatherings have been identified. The whole point of these meetings was to get communities involved right across Ireland, and the response has been tremendous," Minister Ring said.
"I'm delighted that so many people took the opportunity to find out more, and to see how their families, businesses and communities can be part of it all. I would urge people everywhere to start making plans for their own Gatherings," he said.
The Gathering Ireland 2013 provides the perfect excuse to reach out to those who have moved away, their relatives, friends and descendants, and invite them home…
The meetings are an opportunity for people to find out how they can get involved in the Gathering, and see how it can benefit their own region. They have also generated loads of new ideas:
- International Garda Festival, Longford -- Ireland's first Ban Garda came from Co. Longford, and a Gathering is being planned to invite female police officers from across the world to Longford to participate;
- Dig Deep in Castlecomer -- A Gathering is being organised in Castlecomer, Co. Kilkenny to invite miners and people whose family members worked in the Castlecomer mines to come back for a reunion in 2013 and record their stories for posterity;
- Lighthouse Keepers' Reunion -- Hook Lighthouse is one of the world's most famous and photographed lighthouses. A gathering of lighthouse keepers from all over the world, including a visit to the lighthouse, is being planned by Wexford communities.
Gathering Ireland Project Director Jim Miley said: "The momentum is really building for the Gathering and the community meetings really were a big part of this. There are over 600 Gatherings already planned, and so many of those great ideas came directly out of the Community meetings. I would encourage people to extend an invitation to people they know overseas to come to their gathering. Big or small, corporate or community these gatherings will benefit communities."
The final two Gathering Ireland 2013 Town Hall meetings are taking place as follows:
Tuesday 23rd October, Limerick Strand Hotel, Limerick;
Thursday 25th October, The Dingle Skellig Hotel, Kerry.
All are invited and encouraged to attend, so take this opportunity to get involved in The Gathering Ireland 2013, or to get further information on the Gathering, and find out how you can plan a Gathering in your local community.

Lady Tigers Improve to 13th in Qdoba Invitational
Feb. 16, 2009
MIAMI LAKES, Fla.—Senior Rachel Larson fired a second round 75 to help the University of Memphis women's golf team improve to 13th place at the Qdoba Invitational. The tournament is being played at the Don Shula Golf Resort with the University of Miami serving as the tournament's host school.
Larson is seeking her third straight top-20 finish dating back to last fall. She is currently in a tie for 28th with a two day total of 155. Freshman Marissa Steen carded a second round 80, giving her a two round total of 158 and leaving her in a tie for 44th. Leslie Grabeman posted a second consecutive 83, and Kathleen Glavin turned in an 84. The two are in 66th and 70th place, respectively.
"As I said coming into the tournament, I expected Rachel to have a solid showing," said Lady Tiger head coach Beth Harrelson. "Her feel around the green has been great, along with the rest of her game, and it really showed out there today."
Larson is the team's lone senior, and is seeking her 15th career top-20 finish. The best finish of her career was a tie for fifth at the 2006 Wildcat Fall Invitational. Her second round 75 also tied her lowest round of last fall, which came at the Lady Red Wolf Classic in Jonesboro, Ark.
The Lady Tigers fired a team total of 322 on day two, leaving them with a two round team total of 649, good for 13th place.
Georgia State, the #43 ranked team in the nation, held on to the lead in the team competition, posting a team total of 299 on day two to give them a two round total of 590. The #16 team in the country, Louisville, fired a second day team total of 296—the lowest of any team on day two—to pass North Carolina State and get into second place. Louisville has a two round total of 595, leaving them just five back of Georgia State.
There is now a three-way tie for the top individual spot in the competition, as Laura Anderson of Louisville, Iliska Verwey of Georgia State, and Cindy LaCrosse of Louisville all posted two round totals of 146.
The University of Memphis women's golf team will wrap up its play at the Qdoba Invitational tomorrow, February 17th when the third round tees off. Follow all the action as it unfolds at www.golfstat.com.

This is a large, 2.43 mts. or 8 feet square, embroidered linen wall hanging. Its scroll and animal motif makes me think it is English. I am trying to find out more about it, its age, the name of the type of needlework, origin, purpose (wall hanging, bed curtain or other). Thank you!

Ascot United and Bracknell Town were both knocked out by Cricklade Town and Witney Town respectively.
Nicky Bateman put the Satsumas ahead from the penalty spot and further goals from Luke Lee and Bateman secured their passage to the next round. Kieran Davis and Sean Flaherty scored for Hinksey.
Meanwhile, the Yellamen had three players sent off as they suffered a 4-2 extra-time defeat to Cricklade Town.
The scores were locked at 2-2 after 90 minutes with Rob Saunders and Ian Brooks netting for Ascot.
But the Yellamen were clearly hampered by the dismissals of Jon Bennett, Liam Woozley and Saunders, and the lack of personnel told in extra time with Cricklade scoring twice more to come away with the victory.
The Cricklade goalscorers were Jack Allan (2),Ryan Thomas and Ben Carter.
Bracknell Town fought back from two goals down but were narrowly beaten 3-2 by Hellenic Premier Division opponents Witney Town.
Conor McDonagh's double gave Witney a two-goal cushion but Scott Williams and Shane Cooper-Clark levelled the scores for the Robins before James Dobson scored the winner shortly after.
Binfield slipped to sixth in the Hellenic Premier Division after conceding a late goal to go down 3-2 at home to Oxford City Nomads.
Carl Davies put the Moles ahead twice and they were leading 2-1 with 12 minutes to go until the wheels came off and Adam Lovegrove scored the winner for Oxford two minutes from time.
Finchampstead netted eight without reply against Milton Utd in Division One East.
Leading the way with four goals was Harry Swabey with further goals coming from Greg Alexander (2), Josh Sapsed and Stewart Manicom.
Sandhurst were thrashed 6-1 at home to Molesey in the Combined Counties Premier Division while Eversley & California narrowly lost 3-2 to AFC Croydon Athletic in the second round of the EL Records Challenge Cup.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution and the Japanese debut of Final Fantasy XIII-2 were big hits for Square Enix in 2011 and helped the publisher post a strong profit during its latest period.
For the nine-month period ended December 31, 2011, the publisher posted net income of ¥5.01billion ($65.78 million), up 175 percent from last year's haul of ¥1.82 billion ($23.8 million).
Square Enix attributed the sharp increase in net income to sales of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Final Fantasy XIII-2, which were released in Japan during the period. Revenues from Square Enix's Web, smartphone, and social networking services were also called out as contributors to the bottom line.
Total net sales during the period came in at ¥95.74 billion ($1.26 billion), down 2.5 percent from the ¥98.18 ($1.28 billion) recorded a year prior. A significant chunk of that total stemmed from the company's Digital Entertainment business unit, which posted ¥53.7 billion ($704 million) for the period, a rise of 6.2 percent from the year prior.
Square Enix said its full-year forecasts of ¥65.61 billion ($861 million) in net income on ¥130 billion ($1.7 billion) in net sales remain unchanged for the year ending March 31, 2012.

By Air Force Lt. Col. Ellen KrenkeNational Guard Bureau
ARLINGTON, March 31, 2010 More than 1,500 National Guard members in three Northeast states are waging a war against rising flood waters after several days of rain combined with melting snow.
Massachusetts has called up more than 900 soldiers, while Rhode Island and Connecticut have more than 500 and 150 on duty, respectively.
U.S. Northern Command also activated two coordinating units today in support of the Federal Emergency Management Agency's northeast regional office to assist in the flood response, officials there said.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval L. Patrick has authorized the mobilization of 1,000 soldiers and airman to support the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency.
Soldiers have filled and transported about 9,000 sandbags from the state highway department in Lexington, Mass., to points of distribution in Lexington, Tewksbury, Bridgewater and Millbury.
Additional soldiers and airmen called for state active duty not only will continue to fill and transport sandbags to affected areas, but also will conduct emergency evacuation operations and presence patrols and provide security to isolated areas, according to a news release from the state.
Twenty-one National Guard trucks are headed to Fall River, Mass., to assist with evacuations in the Watuppa Pond area, and 6,000 sandbags are being delivered and emplaced in Middleboro, Blackstone and Concord.
Guard officials said the Massachusetts Guard is pre-positioned at strategic locations throughout the state, capable of providing communication support, transportation support, medical support, predictive flood modeling and maintenance sustainment support.
"The men and women of the Massachusetts National Guard are eager to assist the citizens of the commonwealth," said Army Maj. Gen. Joseph C. Carter, Massachusetts adjutant general. The commonwealth can rely on our diverse capabilities, our strategically located units, and our quick response during times of need."
Army 2nd Lt. Danielle Golden, a platoon leader with the 125th Quartermaster Company, supervised soldiers who were filling sandbags in Lexington. Golden, who normally works as a state corrections officer, said this is the first state mission in which she has participated since joining the Guard.
"Any soldier that gets to be a part of a mission like this at least once is lucky," she said.
Army Staff Sgt. Ross E. Bandy of the 272nd Chemical Company said he's glad to help, crediting a friend's service with inspiring him to join the Guard. "I am a Navy veteran, and I have a friend in the Guard who helped out during the 2008 ice storm," he said. "After seeing him, I thought I'd join and help some people out."
The 79th Troop Command in Rehoboth, Mass., coordinated the movement of filled sandbags from Lexington to areas designated by MEMA. The initial tasks MEMA assigned to the National Guard have been completed, Guard officials said.
Just to the south, Rhode Island soldiers have been tasked with assisting various state and local authorities with traffic control, evacuations and transportation. The Rhode Island Guard continues to work in close coordination with the Rhode Island EMA on where and when to position Guard personnel and equipment.
All guard missions will be based on input from RIEMA, which is closely monitoring the situation with all state and local agencies, according to a news release from the state.
"We are an integrated emergency management agency; we're maintaining situational awareness. We are well linked with FEMA and [the Department of Homeland Security]," said Rhode Island's adjutant general, Army Maj. Gen. Robert T. Bray, at a news conference yesterday. "Our main focus is safety and infrastructure, specifically to keep the main thoroughfares open."
He added that the Guard activation would last for as long as necessary. "We are prepared to put personnel and equipment where they will be best utilized," he said.
In Connecticut, soldiers are conducting high-water rescues and sandbagging operations, Guard officials said.
(Army Staff Sgt. James C. Lally of the Massachusetts National Guard contributed to this report.)

10. Watoga State Park
Both the oldest and largest of West Virginia's state parks, 10,100-acre Watoga takes its name from the Cherokee word watauga, meaning "river of islands"—a reference to the wide, sandy Greenbrier River, which forms the park's western border. For a delightful view of the river and the park's rugged jumble of ridges, hollows, and thick second-growth forest, try Arrowhead Trail, a steep but rewarding one-mile trek climbing from the Riverside Campground area to the old log lookout tower. Or drive the park road up to the T. M. Cheek Memorial, one of the highest spots in the park, for a sunset picnic.
Tiny Hillsboro, a mile farther south on Rte. 219, might seem like an ordinary West Virginia mountain town, but literary pilgrims know it as something far more significant—the birthplace of Pearl S. Buck, author of The Good Earth and the first American woman to win both the Nobel and Pulitzer prizes. Buck spent most of her childhood in China with her missionary parents but fondly remembered her grandparents' spacious West Virginia farmhouse as her "gateway to America." You will find it open from May through October; the house represents an intriguing mix of Oriental and Occidental, with furnishings that range from handcrafted walnut pieces crafted by Buck's own grandfather to a small collection of Oriental memorabilia.
11. Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park
In no state did the Civil War create such sharp divisions of loyalty as it did in West Virginia. While 30,000 men from the hills took up arms for the Union cause, some 7,500 others traveled south to don Confederate gray. So when the Battle of Droop Mountain took place on November 6, 1863, the fighting—quite literally—pitted brother against brother.
The clash would also signal an end to the conflict on West Virginia soil; Union forces outflanked Confederate troops on the peak and sent them heading south for good. Some 7,000 men fought that day, and a few of the 400 who lost their lives are buried here. Three and a half miles of trails lead from the Battlefield Museum and cemetery through the 287-acre grounds to majestic ridgetop views of the Greenbrier Valley to the north.
12. Beartown State Park
A few miles southwest of Hillsboro, a spur road leads to Beartown State Park, a 107-acre preserve on the eastern slope of Droop Mountain. Erosion has gnawed away at the ancient sandstone that forms the mountain's crest, leaving behind massive boulders, deep crevices, towering cliffs, and sandstone corridors—a giant three-dimensional maze so thick with vegetation that you'll feel as if you've stumbled upon a natural greenhouse. In the cool, damp recesses, pockets of ice sometimes linger until late summer.
13. Lewisburg
Following in the footsteps of retreating Confederate forces, the drive descends the back of Droop Mountain, making a long glide down to Lewisburg, 1,000 feet lower in elevation and some 24 miles to the south. A 236-acre parcel of the town has been designated a National Historic District; it's easily explored on foot with the aid of a map from the visitor center at Carnegie Hall, which also serves as the town's cultural hub. Other stops on the tour include the Old Stone Church (the oldest continuously operated church west of the Alleghenies), the Museum of the Greenbrier Historical Society, the Greenbrier County Courthouse, and the Confederate Cemetery. A wander among historic tombstones will lead you to the common grave of 95 unidentified soldiers, casualties of the Battle of Lewisburg.

Lance Armstrong's Power
The instantaneous power generated by a force that does work is the rate P = dW/dt at which it does work. The SI unit of power is the Watt, equal to 1 Joule per second. The average power is the work done by the force, divided by the time over which it was applied. If the work done by a force F through a small displacement dx is dW = F . dx, then the instantaneous power is P = F . v.
(B) (Bonus question; your group will get an extra whiteboard point for today if you can show me by next class a solution that gives the right answer to the following:) There is a friction force on a rolling object (due to deformation of the object and the surface on which it rolls) called rolling friction. To a good approximation this is a constant force; for a good road bike this is 3.5 N. The air friction force on a bicyclist is proportional to the square of the square of the riders velocity, and has the value (0.26 kg/m ) v2, where v is in m/s. Using Armstrong's sustained power output, with what speed (in miles per hour) could he ride on level ground?

The only known dinosaur stampede has turned out to be evidence of a probable river crossing rather than a mass escape, according to new Australian research using 3D analysis.
Numerous tracks dating from between 95 and 98 million years ago found at Queensland's Lark Quarry Conservation Park were left by small, bipedal dinosaurs called ornithopods, ranging in size from chickens to emus.
"Many of the tracks are nothing more than elongated grooves, and probably formed when the claws of swimming dinosaurs scratched the river bottom," said study lead author Anthony Romilio at the University of Queensland (UQ) in a press release.
"Some of the more unusual tracks include 'tippy-toe' traces–this is where fully buoyed dinosaurs made deep, near vertical scratch marks with their toes as they propelled themselves through the water."
Skartopus australis track (3D movie) by Romilio et al 2013 from The University of Queensland on Vimeo.
If the dinosaurs were fleeing, then the tracks ought to be much flatter. Also, comparison with swim traces left by dinosaurs elsewhere suggests changes in the water level over time.
"The smallest swim traces indicate a minimum water depth of about 14 centimeters [5.5 inches], while much larger ones indicate depths of more than 40 centimeters [15.7 inches]," Romilio said. "Unless the water level fluctuated, it's hard to envisage how the different sized swim traces could have been preserved on the one surface."
"Some of the larger tracks are much more consistent with walking animals, and we suspect these dinosaurs were wading through the shallow water."
The animals could have been traveling downstream, as suggested by the large intervals between tracks, leaving markings over several days or possibly even weeks.
The paper was published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

The World's Libraries Online
In many parts of the world, the best developed information infrastructure is
supported by libraries. A country's national library typically houses information on legislation, historical archives, patents and sometimes court and tax records. University libraries store information on research and are often a gateway to international information services. But not all library portals are created equal.
Public libraries serve a broader clientele, often by providing internet terminals and access to electronic databases. But not every country's library infrastructure is up to the challenging task of being an information gateway for citizens. Not all national, university, and public libraries have the capacity to maintain a website, and not all provide website access in the range of languages that their citizens read, write, and speak.
GRAPHIC: Comparing the World's Wired Libraries
Three fourths of national libraries have Web sites but only 54 percent load in the country's national language. For example, Tajikistan's national library offers online access in Russian, but not Tajik. Sixty-nine percent of national libraries load in English but only 20 to 25 percent of the world's people speak English.

Concert Given by Unhasu Orchestra to Mark May Day
| Pyongyang, May 2 (KCNA) -- A concert "Family of the General" was given by the Unhasu Orchestra at the People's Theatre with splendor to mark May Day, the international holiday of the working people.

He warmly congratulated the participants on May Day.

Even in the age of internet marketing, the phone remains one of the most important tools for communicating with clients. Whether a new client is calling for the first time to schedule an initial appointment or an existing client is calling to check on the status of a case, how your firm responds to callers speaks volumes about the professionalism of your office and can significantly impact your business.
The most important advice is to answer your phones. If no one answers when potential clients call, they may call another attorney instead of leaving a message. Likewise, for existing clients, difficulties in reaching their attorney may strain the attorney-client relationship and cause them undue anxiety about their legal issues.
The following are some common sense tips for people, such as receptionists, paralegals or attorneys, who answer the phones in your law firm:
- Answer phone calls by the third ring.
- Greet callers warmly and identify the company and yourself: "Good morning. Thank you for calling Justia. This is Elizabeth. How may I help you?"
- Speak clearly and use a positive tone of voice. One tip is to smile while you're talking on the phone, as this comes across in your tone of voice.
- Don't chew gum or eat food when answering the phone.
- Write down the caller's name the first time they tell it to you so you can refer back to it later in the call.
- Avoid using slang or filler words like "um" or "like" during phone calls.
- If you need to put a caller on hold, ask if it's okay first, and don't leave a caller on hold for more than a minute without checking back to give a status update.
- When taking a message, be sure to get names and phone numbers correct. Ask your callers to spell their name if needed, and repeat phone numbers back to them.
- If you need to transfer a call, always let the caller know that you are going to transfer the call to another person. Let the caller know in advance the name and phone number of the person who will be joining the conversation in case the call is disconnected.
- End the call by thanking the caller for calling or saying "Have a nice day" and let them hang up first.
It's also important to respond to messages left by potential clients, current clients, and other people who contact you. Ideally, messages should be responded to within one business day.
Asking your staff to follow these simple guidelines for communicating on the phone presents your law firm as a courteous and professional organization, and can help you bring in new clients and retain current clients.

Most college hoops coaches are happy to have one go-to guy on their roster. South Florida coach Stan Heath likes to think he has at least seven of them. There are no stars in Heaths prosaic lineup, which features seven players who average between 6.8 and 9.6 points per game and none who score more than 10 a night. But the newly crowned Big East coach of the year has found a way to make his unconventional and often-unremarkable rotation work. As a result, his 23-10 Bulls a perennial Big East hanger-on that had gone just 23-81 in conference play before this year have completed a long-awaited transformation and secured their first NCAA tournament berth since 1992 after the most impressive regular season in school history. "History kind of shows that different teams have succeeded different ways," said Ron Anderson, Jr., who averages 7.2 points and 5.5 rebounds per game for the Bulls. "A lot of times nowadays people are more interested in the flashiness of a game or how high somebo...

I've been swooning over the Random Orbit chandelier for quite some time now and have come to the conclusion that if I had a spare $1,850.00 to spend on a light fixture this most definitely would be the one I blew it on. But until that time comes, you can find me drooling over this photo and imagining how much richer my life would be with the Random Orbit in it. The End.
Dying over this! It has a fairy princess feel about it – love that!

I agree, if I had an extra $1,850 lying around needing to be spend on a light fixture, this would be it. Definitely. Loving it!

Side Effects is Soderbergh in full, flinty vigor. It's anything but a formula murder mystery. show more
It's a gripping, maddening and thoroughly satisfying thriller, made with artfulness and integrity. Soderbergh sees things in his actors and gets things from them that other directors don't. show more
Like a lot of meds, it loses its effectiveness over time, and you'll build a resistance to Effects eventually, particularly when it dissolves into a standard crime flick. show more

Mixed review - very slow to start and I felt the details got a bit \"muddled\" as the plot unfolded. Has a bit of a Hitchcock feel to the movie without Hitchcock\'s sharp focus. Enjoyed Jude Law. Okay matinee movie.

NIGHT in, night out, the rhythmic radio signals reach Earth. The slowest of them sound like a nail being hammered into wood, or a shoe being slapped against a post to rid it of mud. Others are more like a stuttering motor stopped at a traffic signal. Some make almost continuous tones, ripe to be combined into cosmic mood music.
Always the same signature tunes, always from the same points in the sky. Small wonder that when astronomers first heard them back in the 1960s, some thought they were messages from alien civilisations.
The signals aren't from ET, however; they are from pulsars. These extreme cosmic objects have been keeping us on our toes for over 40 years, and are poised for their greatest coup yet. Meticulous measurements of pulsars' timekeeping might just solve one of the biggest mysteries of modern physics: the whereabouts ...

Re: The Journey of a pHD bodybuilder - Train, Eat, and Think like a Pro!
Hard for me to say right now. I think if you are able to time it right, complex carbs will do just fine. But I find it needs to be 60-90 minutes prior to the workout to work optimally. Wait longer and energy will not be as good; eat sooner and you might have stomach problems. I started having easily digested carbs in my shake because I have a hard time timing that w/ my schedule. This allows me to time my carbs consistently.
I would try out both methods and see how your energy and performance is in the gym.
