Over the past 35 years the collection has grown to about 4,000 volumes, with the recent additions of about 1,000 volumes of rare books dating back to 1586. The library serves both as a research center for staff in the preservation and commercial branches of SSE and as a place for scholarly exploration of historic agricultural methods, foodways, and vegetable-fruit-herb-flower varieties. The library also houses the institutional archive, including all Seed Savers Exchange publications and eventually all provenance records related to the heirloom seed collection held by the organization.

Plattsburgh State University of New York

I retired from PSUC in 2005, although my last year of teaching was 2010. I have been doing workshops: "Teaching as Performance," addresses the performance aspects of classroom teaching; and "Presentation Skills," which helps librarians who need to make presentations to boards, departments, etc. Both have received very positive feedback; if interested, contact me at my home address.

Hired at the Senior Assistant Librarian rank in 1981, I was promoted to Associate Librarian in 1987 and to Librarian in 1995. I received the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Librarianship in 1995; the Eastern New York Chapter of ACRL's Librarian of the Year award in 1997; and in 2003 was promoted to SUNY Distinguished Librarian, the highest rank in the SUNY system.

Glomerulonephritis (gluh-MARE-you-low-ne-FRY-tis) is an inflammation of the glomeruli, the parts of the filtering units (nephrons) of the kidney that contain a network of capillaries (tiny blood vessels).
Kidneys filter the blood. The main functional units of the kidney, where the filtering takes place, are called nephrons. Each kidney has about a million nephrons, and each nephron has one glomerulus (singular of glomeruli).
Glomerulonephritis damages the glomeruli, causing symptoms such as blood in the urine, foamy urine, and swelling (edema) around the face, eyes, ankles, legs, and abdomen.
Some cases of glomerulonephritis get better on their own. Others respond well to treatment, and most of the time, any damage done to the kidneys heals completely. Only in rare cases does glomerulonephritis cause long-term kidney problems.

New First Aid Kit for Today's World
Yesterday's family first aid kit has gotten an upgrade. Today's disaster kit contains all the traditional elements of a first aid kit and expands it to include survival items that could make the difference between life and death in the case of emergency.
Experts say the best way to cope with disaster is to prepare and have everything you might need in one place. That way you'll be ready to deal with emergencies large and small, from a bee sting to a biological attack.
Although recent world events may have made many people more aware of the need for disaster preparedness, researchers say the basic principles of protecting you and your family during a disaster haven't changed.
"There is no difference between the kits we've been recommending before 9/11 and after," says Rocky Lopes, PhD, senior associate for disaster education at the American Red Cross.
"What is different is that a lot more people are paying attention to terrorist threats or other types of hazards. And people are more serous about looking at kits that contain first-aid items as well as disaster preparedness things."
What's a Disaster Kit?
Lopes says the American Red Cross and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) recommend that every household assemble a two-part family-disaster supplies kit.
The first part consists of a home first-aid kit with standard supplies, such as bandages, antiseptic ointments, and non-prescription drugs, to deal with minor medical emergencies.
"These are things that a lot people have in their medicine cabinet and kitchen drawers, but we recommend that people have them together in one place so they know where they can find it and can grab it and go if they need to take it with them," Lopes tells WebMD.
For a full list of medical supplies that should go into a first-aid kit or a basic first-aid manual, contact the local American Red Cross chapter in your area, or visit their web site.
The second part of the disaster kit includes tools and emergency supplies that you might need in case you have to evacuate your home quickly or are confined to your home for a few days due to a natural, biological, chemical, or nuclear disaster.

I believe the most important things in life...
I believe the most important things in life are always improving yourself and the good moments you share with the special people in your life. Sometimes you have to create those moments yourself and for others. My favorite exercise is swimming(summer) bike riding and the gym (other seasons). I believe that variety is important, so I also have "T25" and "Insanity" from "Beach Body" and a Bowflex when things start to get boring. I like photography but I'm a total beginner, so don't ask for advice, although I could give you a little. I bought a super expensive Sony camera that I like to fool around with, but usually-auto mode is better than manual mode. I always get asked to take photos for friends. I like expressing my deep thoughts and ideas, and photography is one of those languages. But I also have different "IPADS" because I have many ideas that I like to put together. (I'm a good "Power-Pointer " and consider myself an expert with Microsoft Office). I'm constantly being inspired by the world around me. I also take pride in that I think I am a good instructor. I feel like I'm a natural when it comes to breaking things down, empowering people and capturing their attention in provocative ways. Maybe I'll be college instructor 1 day. I'm a certified flight instructor because flying is my passion (although I haven't flown in many years, but I use to fly for a living). I believe in changing the world for the better, and everyday, in my own way, even though it might be small, I work toward that with dedication.

First Days of Art Center
Today... is my first day of Art Center. I am very pumped, the next few days are orientation, so if anyone wants to meet up, let me know.
I'll write up a summary when it's all said and done, the orientation that is.
`What sort of people live about here?' asked Alice.

Remeber to ask your "dept. chair", if this is such a talented art college, why do we have an orange dot for our logo?! They couldn't come up with anything better?

Japan data confirms economy shrinks 0.9% in July-Sept
Published on Dec 10, 2012 9:18 AM
TOKYO (REUTERS) - Japan's economy contracted for a second straight quarter in July-Sept, revised government data showed on Monday, indicating that weak global demand nudged the export-reliant economy into a mild recession.
Analysts expect another quarter of contraction in the final three months of this year due to sluggish exports to China, keeping the Bank of Japan under pressure to loosen monetary policy as early as this month.
"There have been some positive indicators out in October but there is still a good chance that Japan's economy will suffer another contraction in the October-December quarter," said Takeshi Minami, chief economist at Norinchukin Research Institute in Tokyo.
"The Bank of Japan may ease policy this month, as suggested in remarks by Deputy Governor Kiyohiko Nishimura last week. The bias is for further easing, so even if the central bank stands pat this month it will likely act in January."

I appalled at how some fans can defend a company that's just fooling around with them.
Listen "you won't get later in game the Imperials"... that's your wishful thinking. I don't even know why you're making this up.
Zenimax has already stated that yes you will be able to play Imperials later on.... when you go in the cash shop and you update the regular edition to the imperial edition.
Understand? If you want to play the Imperial race you MUST pay 20$. This is 100% confirmed at the moment. Will they change this in the future and make the Imperial edition free? who knows but as of now thisi is the plain and simple truth.
And since they 've already flat out lied a couple of times to cash more grab i guess it's not "oh so strange" imagine that even the "racial unlock" of the preorder will be sooner or later in the cash shop.
Yes this is not 100% confirmed but considering how greedy they are and how new players will complain for sure that other players are able to do things they cannot (playing any race in any alliance)... they will give players the option to do so. For the "correct" amount of $$$ of course.

They ate maximising their income now when hope and hype are at their highest... They know that most will buy the box and shortly after, uninstall. The people currently defending the CE will be the ones moaning about being ripped off in 4 months time.

This game looks truly ordinary and like a cardboard version of the single player games. There are a dozen games like this already out there.

I was going to go for the CE, but then I thought I really just want the in game bonuses and don't really need another statue. I have the CE of SW:TOR, Skyrim (really cool looking dragon statue), and I just got the CE for console for my son, (he got the game I got the goodies) of Batman Arkham Origins, got a cool led lit statue with it for half of what it was when it came out. Shelf is kinda full so I really did not need another statue, that and I saved $20 getting the digital Imperial Edition, so there is my first month of sub.

The author is pretty spot on with how I feel about it. The initial news of the faction-locked races cooled my interest because I always play the same race in TES games and didn't appreciate Zenimax picking my faction for me in a game where they claimed it's all about faction pride. My problem continues because I don't preorder games. Returning some of the freedom of character creation these games have always had in a manner which requires buying their product before it has been released doesn't leave me feeling positive towards ZOS at all. Without even taking into account developers prior statements about the importance of faction locking to the design of the game and their desire to go with a sub fee so every player is on equal footing this decision to tie things that matter into preorders is moving me from feeling ambivalent about the game to being pissed. Races in an Elder Scrolls game certainly matter to me at least. It goes beyond a cosmetic thing when you're using an IP with this much history and lore to it.

okay 'i have to ask what has gotten into the gaming community now a days. its like we've gained this sort of upcoming amatuer rock band mind set. "companies should just make games for the love of gaming" "man companies are just plain greedy" " They shouldn't have subs let usa play for free" its like this hippie approach to video games.
these games are made by businesses not community art centers. these guys have to make a profit on their games. they have employees, whom need to get paid, they have bills, they have first to make all the money they spent on making the game back before they can make any profit. its how the world works MONEY MONEY MONEY!!! folks.
yeah it may seem a bit cheap to charge us for features some have taken for granted in OTHER games. but isn't the idea of a DIFFERENT game to I don't know... being not like the others.
like how people bash on upcoming MMO's to be WoW clones yet they get pissed off because this new MMO doesn't have the features WoW does and more. I guess if we think that way every shooter should be like COD or every adventure game should be like Tombraider or every RPG should be like Mass Effect...
I agree with orbitxo about this community its full of the MMO veterans that spent most of their time bashing the games they played rather than enjoying them. Of course not everyone is like that but on many of the threads here spaning many different MMO's its just a shit storm of nerd rage, over critical analysis and general negativity. lol its like you guys have nothing nice to say about playing video games its all pitch backs to mmo that got it right in the past I guess.

RIM confirms HSDPA BlackBerry
RIM's president and CEO Mike Lazaridis has confirmed that the company is developing a HSDPA enabled BlackBerry.
The comments came in a FT interview when the paper asked the CEO what his latest squeeze was.
The reply:
"One of our prototypes - a 3.5G BlackBerry. It's very fast over third-generation networks that have HSDPA."
The news will be music to the ears of BlackBerry fans looking for fast internet access away from a Wi-Fi connection.
Earlier in the year we reported on rumours that RIM was working on a 9000 series BlackBerry that would sport HSDPA as well as Wi-Fi and be due out in 2008.
We will keep you posted.

Operator: Welcome to the Signet Jewelers' Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Results Conference Call. My name is Lorraine and I will be your operator for today's call. At this time all participants are in a listen-only mode. Later we will conduct a question-and-answer session.
I would now like to turn the conference over to Mr. James Grant, Vice President of Investor Relations. Sir, you may begin.
James Grant - VP, IR: Good morning and welcome to our fiscal 2013 earnings call. On our call today are Mike Barnes, CEO; and Ron Ristau, CFO.
The presentation deck we will be referencing is available from the financial section of our website www.signetjewelers.com. During today's presentation we will in places discuss Signet's business outlook and make certain forward-looking statements. Any statements that are not historical facts are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially. We urge you to read the risk factors, cautionary language and other disclosures in the annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC today. We also draw your attention to Slide 2 in today's presentation.
Now I will turn the call over to Mike.
Michael W. Barnes - CEO: Thank you, James and good morning, everyone. We are very pleased with our record fourth quarter and full year results. For the quarter, our comps at Signet increased by 3.5%. U.S. division comps grew at 4.9% on top of an 8.3% increase in Q4 of the prior year. U.K. comps declined 1.9% that was against a 1.7% increase in the Q4 of the prior year.
I'll speak in a few minutes about how we're addressing the U.K. results. Signet delivered record Q4 profits driven by the strong execution of our strategies, which led the growth in same-store sales, store productivity and gross margin. Operating income was $267.7 million, up $23.8 million or a 9.8% and diluted earnings per share were $2.12, up $0.33 or 18.4%.
Now, turning to the excellent results of our full fiscal year 2013; same-store sales increased by 3.3%. The U.S., which represented 82% of our sales for the year delivered 4% comp store sales, which was outstanding after an increase of 11.1% last year. In the U.K., we comped slightly positive at 0.3%. We delivered a record profit for the year. Our operating income climbed by 10.5% and diluted earnings per share came in at $4.35, up 16.6%.
There were other highlights as well beyond just the income statement. We repurchased 7.4% of our outstanding shares in fiscal 2013. Also, we increased our dividend in the first quarter by 20% and I am very happy to say we announced today another dividend increase this time by 25% or $0.03 per share on a quarterly basis.
Also during fiscal '13, we had a strong operational performance. We increased our square footage globally by 8.2%. In part through the acquisition of Ultra stores to gain a leading position in the outlet channel space, and organically by opening 46 new Kay and seven new Jared stores for a total of 53.
Now looking at the annual U.S. performance in a little more detail; in general for the year, we saw a broad based strength across many merchandise categories in both Kay and Jared, as well as the Ultra acquisition, which occurred at the beginning of Q4. U.S. total sales were approximately $3.3 billion, up $239.8 million or an increase of 7.9%.

Tuesday night at Sherman Floyd Fieldhouse, fans got to witness strong fourth-quarter rallies for the winning teams. One of those rallies came from the homestanding Poteau Pirates, who came from behind to down the Muldrow Bulldogs 45-42.
The other fourth-quarter rally was produced by the visiting Muldrow Lady Bulldogs, who came back from a nine-point halftime deficit to down the Lady Pirates 48-47.
In Tuesday's edition, two Poteau girls had their point total against Heavener listed incorrectly. Montana Roll scored 16 points and Kaitlan Standridge scored 15 points.
POCOLA — The Pocola Indians had not played since Dec. 20 at Hartshorne, and it may have shown in the first half of Tuesday night's game with the Heavener Wolves at the Pocola High School Gym. However, thanks to a strong second half, the Indians were able to prevail 58-56 in overtime.
The Indians trailed 30-18 at halftime, but outscored the Wolves in the second half 32-20 to tie the game at 50-all to force overtime.
In the extra four-minute period, the Indians outscored the Wolves 8-6 to cap the comeback.
HOWE — The Howe Lady Lions may have made an early statement for next week's LeFlore County Tournament, saying don't count the defending champions out just yet.
The Lady Lions, who are seeded seventh in next week's tournament, posted a 42-38 win over the Panama Lady Razorbacks Tuesday night at the Howe High School gym.
The Lady Lions led 10-9 after a period, 22-14 at halftime and 26-24 after three quarters.
The Poteau Pirates wrestling team will try to secure a bid to next month's Class 4A Dual State Tournament on Thursday night at Sherman Floyd Fieldhouse.
The Pirates (11-4) will welcome the Sallisaw Black Diamonds and the Wagoner Bulldogs to town for three duals beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday. Sallisaw and Wagoner will go first, followed by Poteau against Sallisaw and Poteau against Wagoner.
Archery season is over for this year, so now it is time to hunt some different critters for a while. We still have a couple weeks left to do some squirrel hunting before the season closes, and predator hunting is good this time of year, also.
One type of hunting I love to do is crow hunting, and it is open for the next couple of months. It is a lot of fun for kids and grown-ups alike, and I plan on taking my boys on a few trips in the near future.
The Poteau Daily News has a new Facebook page.
"Actually we made the switch a few months ago. Word has been slow to get out because we left the old page up," said PDN publisher Robert Shearon.
"The old page has been eliminated and we are hoping everyone will find their way to our new page. We keep it posted with links to news and sports stories, and some readers have posted comments and notices," Shearon said.
A rash of burglaries over the last two weeks has resulted in three men arrested in connection with part of them.
Two men, Levi Poor, 25, of Heavener, and Bradley Steelman, 35, of Cameron, were arrested after several guns were stolen from a Hontubby home on Jan. 6. According to the arrest affidavit, Poor told officers he stayed in the vehicle while Steelman went into the home and stole the guns.
Both men have been charged with second degree burglary, knowingly concealing stolen property and conspiracy to commit burglary. They are being held in the LeFlore County Detention Center.
Hosanna Christian Fellowship will hold a weekend crusade Jan. 25-27 with guest speaker Larry Mosely of Tulsa.
Services will start at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 10 a.m. Sunday.
Hosanna is a Bible-based, non-denominational church focused on
uniting people in the family of God.
It is located at 21920 Branson Road, one mile north of Walmart on U.S. 59.
Childcare will be provided for children second grade and younger.
MIAMI, Okla. — Getting 29 points from Jaymere Hadden wasn't enough for the Carl Albert State College Vikings in their 82-64 loss to the Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College Golden Norsemen on Monday night.
D. Brown's 14 points weren't enough for the Carl Albert State College Lady Vikings either, losing 70-48 to the NEO Lady Norse in the first game on Monday night.
The CASC teams will return to action Thursday night at Mick Thompson Fieldhouse against Seminole State College. The women's game will be at 6 p.m., with the men's contest at 8 p.m.

text: Bookmarks BenignPrint-Friendly Previous imageEnlargeCloseNext image / Navigator"Benign" refers to a condition, tumor, or growth that is not cancerous. This means that it does not spread to other parts of the body. It does not change or destroy nearby tissue. Sometimes, a condition is called benign to suggest it is not dangerous or serious. TumorA tumor is an abnormal growth of body tissue. Tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign).Read Article Now Book Mark Article In general, a benign tumor grows slowly and is not harmful. However, this is not always the case.A benign tumor may grow big enough or be found near blood vessels, the brain, nerves, or organs. As a result, it can cause problems without spreading to another part of the body. Sometimes, these problems can be serious.

Increasingly, similarity networks are being used for evolutionary analyses of molecular datasets. These networks are very useful, in particular for the analysis of gene sharing, lateral gene transfer and for the detection of distant homologs. Currently, such analyses require some computer programming skills due to the limited availability of user-friendly freely distributed software. Consequently, although appealing, the construction and analyses of these networks remain less familiar to biologists than do phylogenetic approaches.
In order to ease the use of similarity networks in the community of evolutionary biologists, we introduce a software program, EGN, that runs under Linux or MacOSX. EGN automates the reconstruction of gene and genome networks from nucleic and proteic sequences. EGN also implements statistics describing genetic diversity in these samples, for various user-defined thresholds of similarities. In the interest of studying the complexity of evolutionary processes affecting microbial evolution, we applied EGN to a dataset of 571,044 proteic sequences from the three domains of life and from mobile elements. We observed that, in Borrelia, plasmids play a different role than in most other eubacteria. Rather than being genetic couriers involved in lateral gene transfer, Borrelia's plasmids and their genes act as private genetic goods, that contribute to the creation of genetic diversity within their parasitic hosts.
EGN can be used for constructing, analyzing, and mining molecular datasets in evolutionary studies. The program can help increase our knowledge of the processes through which genes from distinct sources and/or from multiple genomes co-evolve in lineages of cellular organisms.

One of last year's biggest hits was Kid Rock's "All Summer Long," which blended Lynyrd Skynyrd's Southern rock classic "Sweet Home Alabama" with Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London."
Now Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd have joined forces for the 2009 Rock and Rebels Tour, which will headline the Marcus Amphitheater on the last day of Summerfest, July 5.
Tickets for the 7 p.m. show will go on sale at 10 a.m. April 4 at the amphitheater box office and through Ticketmaster, www.ticketmaster.com and (800) 745-3000.
There are four ticket tiers: $72 for red seats, $57 for yellow seats, $47 for bench seats and $27 for lawn seating. Prices do not include service charges.
Since making his mark in 1998 as a rapper with "Cowboy" and "Only God Knows Why," Kid Rock has engineered a comeback by veering in the direction of Southern rock and country.
Lynyrd Skynyrd is one of the defining touchstones of Southern rock with a résumé of hits that includes "Free Bird," "What's Your Name," "Tuesday's Gone" and "Gimme Three Steps." The band has soldiered on through tragedy, surviving a devastating plane crash in 1977 that killed frontman Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines.
Eventually, Van Zant's younger brother Johnny stepped in and has fronted the band off and on since 1987.
In addition to the July 5 Marcus Amphitheater show, Summerfest has also announced several additional grounds stage headliners, including the Barenaked Ladies on June 27, Rise Against and Rancid on June 25, country songstress Sara Evans on June 27, Afro-beat pioneer Femi Kuti on July 2, Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart on June 29 and the Roots on July 3.
Summerfest runs from June 25 through July 5.
