Who graduated from Norwalk High School in 2000, graduated from Syracuse College in New York State in 2004, spent two years living in Ukraine where she served with the Peace Corps, and plans to leave Oct. 10 for 10 months in Burma?
Abby Vogus, that's who. Not to mention that she got married less than a week ago, and although she's leaving soon for Burma with her new husband, she doesn't speak a word of Burmese.
Is Abby worried about the fact that she does not speak the language of the country where she's going to live?
"I'm kind of just relying on the luck I had in the Ukraine. I was able to pick it (the language) up really quickly. With the wedding, I didn't really have time. When I get there, I'll be immersed in it and quickly pick it up," she said.
By the way, although she's just gotten married, she hasn't changed her last name. That's not because she wants to make a feminist statement instead, it's simply because there isn't enough time to bother with a detail like changing her name.
"We're leaving again. I'd have to get a new passport," she explained.
She's going to Burma because her husband, Matt Walton (whom she met while in college), is going to study there for a doctorate in political science. His dissertation is on Buddhism and democracy. Burma is a Buddhist country, and he has a fellowship to study the language.
It's no accident that I am writing about Abby. My own older daughter left last week for a year in China, and it caused me to wonder why some Norwalkians decide to go so far from home.
Abby's first decision to leave Ohio was when she was one of a handful of students in her graduating class to go to college out of state. She chose to study public relations and, later, international relations at Syracuse University.
"I was really excited and a little scared because obviously everybody else was going to places in Ohio like Bowling Green, and they had friends going with them. It was a little intimidating but I was excited to be going somewhere different. Norwalk is for the most part white and Christian. I wanted to be somewhere where there are other religions and races," she said. She went on to spend the fall semester of her junior year in London, England.
After graduating from college, she left in September to teach English in Ukraine with the Peace Corps. She also worked on a project there to educate people about AIDS, and to lessen discrimination against those who have that disease.
Did she have any hesitation about going so far away?
"There's the day before you go when you think, 'Oh my God, what am I doing?'" Abby explained, adding, "I just knew I wanted to experience those other cultures." Especially when studying international relations, Abby said it is important to understand how people in other countries think, and that's something you can't learn by being in a classroom in the United States. "Sometimes there's a different mentality, different things that are important in different countries. People aren't the same everywhere. I wanted to go somewhere where I could experience that." For example, she explained that people in Ukraine have a more collective culture rather than the individualism in the United States. Ukrainian students don't think they're cheating when they share answers. Rather, they think they are working together and helping each other.
But back to Abby's travels. Going to Syracuse...to London...to Ukraine....to Burma.....I asked her if it's hard on her parents to see her go so far away.
"I think they trust me that I'm not going to put myself in danger or anything," she replied. "They obviously wish I was closer....It's usually pretty teary when I have to go for a long time, but I also think they're excited for me because it's what I want to do."
And does Abby have any wish to settle down?
"It's a little hard...especially right now," she acknowledged. "Most of our friends around here are getting married, starting to have babies...I feel temporary. I don't like that feeling of being temporary. I want somewhere I can unpack my things and have a whole house to put them in, not living so that everything has to fit in two bags that I can check in and one carry-on.
"I obviously miss my family when I'm gone a long time," she continued. "Norwalk is a nice place where you know everyone....in that sense, it's kind of hard. I'd like to have a place that's really home. But then again, at the same time, when I'm home in Norwalk too long I start itching for some other adventure."
What does Abby see in her future? Will she and her new husband eventually settle down here in Norwalk? (I asked Abby this question, but perhaps I was thinking about my own children, too, and whether they will end up living nearby... )
Abby responded that when she and her husband Matt settle down and start having children, she'd like to live somewhere in the Midwest or perhaps the east coast. "Somewhere where I could drive in one day to Ohio," is how she explained it.
Within a day's drive of Ohio? That sure sounds a lot closer than Burma or Ukraine or China, for that matter. A day's drive sounds pretty good to me.
Meanwhile, to Abby and to all of our children who are far away, I wish you all many adventures and a safe return. And don't forget to write home.

Hi! I have a question and concern. I found out after over 10 years of suffering that I have a Gluten Allergy. I also have a Lactose allergy which I've known of since I was 5. As of April I have been gluten-free and only as of recently I've been getting HORRIBLE anxiety and sometimes really back panic attacks for no reason. I did a lot of research and decided to cut sugar out of my diet to see if it would help reduce the anxiety I had. It stopped, and I feel like a new person!
I'm pretty much assuming I am hypoglycemic. My problem is, how do I get fruit's and healthy sugars into my body without having an attack? I've had processed sugar in small amount ( under a tablespoon ) and even 4 grapes and got anxiety. Has anyone else struggled with this? I'm hoping to get some help on this issue.

Redeployment Managed Computer menu not consistent
I upgraded to 7.5 yesterday. After fumbling around for awhile, I was able to find the settings to get the redeployment menu to show for already managed computers, but it's not consistent.
I couldn't get the menu to show on the first machine I tried (it had been powered off since before upgrade, agents not updated on client). I thought maybe the deployment agent needed to update so I powered it on to update and tried a 2nd machine.
The 2nd machine was showing the menu properly consistently (agents were updated on this machine). Then I decided I wanted to change the text of the prompt, did that in NBS General Settings with "Apply NBS settings immediately" checked. Confirmed on server when I made the change that config was requested and changed.
Rebooted 2nd machine and it didn't prompt, went right to "Symantec NBS pre-select automation processing" and booted to production. Rebooted and same thing. Restarted Symantec Network boot service on server and no change.
Rebooted up 1st machine that had not worked previously, and it correctly sees the redeployment managed computer menu and the new prompt text now.
Rebooted 2nd machine a few times, and it continued to not show boot menu, then it just started working again (and so far consistently).
When making a change to NBS General Settings, is there some cache on the server that needs to clear itself out, or some time period that needs to pass for agents to work as expected? Or how can I troubleshoot if this issue continues to happen, where some managed machines aren't getting the menu ?
Also, can someone confirm if the DS agent on the client needs to be updated to see the menu?
Thanks, as always
Comments 5 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Seeing this again without making changes to NBS General Settings. Got the menu, booted to PXE, rebooted to test again and now am not getting the menu (just going back to Symantec NBS pre-select automation processing). So frustrating.

Starting with robotics can be hard, if you don't know where and how to start. Best way to start is to make mobile robot. In this step-by-step we will show you, how to make cheap robot with parts available in your local store and household.
Before you start you should make some plans how platform should look like. We did some sketches how robot should look like. Later we made some modifications so everything fit in properly.
I made this robot with my good friend purgec. (http://www.instructables.com/member/purgec/ )
Step 1: Tools and parts
- board
- breadboard
- arduino (any one you like, we used mega)
- motors
- fasteners
- Velcro fasteners (hook-and-loop)
- screws (for making holes in board)
- knife
- tape
Step 2: Markup
You should start with marking up where everything should be. We did realized, that breadboard is little to big so we modified sketches to fit breadboard on base. Because of that motors must be mounted little bit back then in sketch.
Step 3: Breadboard
In late steps we realized, that we did that too early because fasteners can got messy from making holes.
Step 4: Motors
We used modified hobby servo motors. How to modify a servo: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-modify-a-servo-motor-for-continuous-rotatio/
For mounting servo motors we cut holes in base board. After debate how to do it (drill can destroy this kind of board) we cut holes with two screws, smaller and sharper for making holes and bigger to make holes bigger.
For mounting motors in position we used fasteners. Fasteners were cheap, but where to short so we improvise. After this step robot was nearly finished
can i use DC motors ?
and what is the use of bread board here and how does the robot work?
when we power it does it go just straight?
plz answer i hav to make it in 4 days
You can use DC motors with some kind of reductor or other transmition, so you can get more torque from them.
Breadboard is not used in this project. Later it was used for connecting aditional Arduino shields.
It goes only forwards becouse sample program is written this way. You must edit sample program that in some time it will go backwards. If you want robot to go right and left, you must also edit program.
can u please post the code?
That green board, what is it?
I do belive that your 3 batterie pack will not do the job. Arduino got 5 V voltage stabilizer on board. Stabilizer must have 7-12 V for propper action (4 AA batteries will barely do the job). Also, that black box, looks like there is battery inside. What voltage output does it have?
Sory about my last post... It was written in hury and it is a mess.
My modification got pros and cons. Cons is using H-bridge (more elements, not very cheap). Pros are that you can connect motor to any voltage up to 12 V (9 V for micro servo, I tested those voltages) and you can control motor speed with PWM.
So in the end modification depends on aplication in which motor will be used. You can check on my instructable LISA. I am using modified servos at 7.2 V for higher tourqe and H-bridge build with relays. But tourqe is still a little low. In future I plan to raise voltage up to 12 V. There is no way this can be done by your modification. But with Arduino platform it would be better to use your modification, becouse you get lost of H-bridge which is not cheap and you get the same result.

Superb Gem Red 1924 Cent1924 1C MS67 Red PCGS. Normally one thinks of the 1924-D and (especially) the 1924-S Lincoln cent issues as the conditional rarities of the year, but at the Superb Gem Red level, the 1924 Philadelphia is also most elusive. More than 75 million examples of the issue were minted, yet PCGS has seen only seven submissions at this highest grade level. This example is medium orange with a slight suggestion of greenish tinge, nearly subliminal. There are simply no visible carbon spots or other impairments, and the strike is considerably sharper than expected. A super example for a fine Registry Set.(Registry values: N991) (NGC ID# 22CC, PCGS# 2551)

A Family That Sings Together Stays Together... Especially The First Family
By Zoe Spielvogel
"So, are you a Democrat now?"
My brother Max asked me this seemingly profound question after I sent him a series of pictures from First Lady Michelle Obama's Let's Move! Girl Scout Campout held on the South Lawn of the White House Tuesday evening.
I've always considered myself politically independent, seldom buying into the "fiscally conservative, socially liberal" line fellow non-partisans often like to throw around. I often find that members of both political parties have incredibly coherent and logical arguments – except when they, you know, don't – and I usually side with whoever makes a more valid point in any given debate.
That being said, the Let's Move! Outside Campout featured the President and the First Lady in a natural setting that almost made me forget that I was in the heart of global political activity. That is until my brother sprung that thought-provoking question on me.Read More »

Arisaema jacquemontii (Jacquemont's cobra lily)
Detail of a pressed and dried herbarium specimen of Arisaema jacquemontii
Species information
Arisaema jacquemontii Blume
Jacquemont's cobra lily
Least Concern according to IUCN Red List criteria.
Alpine and subalpine forests and rocky slopes.
Ornamental, fermented leaves and boiled tubers are eaten in Nepal, medicinal.
All parts of the plant contain oxalic acid and calcium oxalate crystals (raphides) which are strongly irritant and can result in severe poisoning if eaten. Can only be eaten safely after being properly processed and cooked.
About this species
Arisaema jacquemontii is a cobra lily belonging to the same genus as jack-in-the-pulpit (A. triphyllum). One unusual trait shared by all Arisaema species, and not those of other genera within the Araceae, is the ability of plants to change sex during their lifetime. Arisaema plants are typically male when small, and female or hermaphroditic when large, with a single plant capable of changing sex depending on its nutrition and genetics, and perhaps changing sex several times during its long life (20 years or more).
Arisaema wightii, A. exile, A. cornutum, A. cylindraceum.

Geography and distribution
Native to Afghanistan, China, India, Nepal and Pakistan. Arisaema jacquemontii is fairly common in Himalayan forests at 2,300 - 4,300 m above sea level. It also occurs in the Nilgiri Hills in southern India, and the Khasi Hills region of north-east India.
Like all members of the genus Arisaema, Jacquemont's cobra lily is a tuberous perennial. It grows to about 70 cm tall and dies back to ground level in the winter or dry season.
It usually has two palmate (hand-shaped) leaves, each with five to nine leaflets. The spathe (sheathing bract) is green on the outside and pale-green inside, with faint white stripes, and arches over the spadix (unbranched inflorescence), its tip elongated and coiled. The spadix is unisexual and has a white or purple, tail-like tip. The fruits are globose berries, which are red when mature.
All parts of the plant are poisonous.
Threats and conservation
There are no known threats to this common species. However, a 1980s survey of the Khasi Hills (a montane region in north-east India) reported the species to be uncommon in the forests there, and noted a general decline in the populations of all the plants used medicinally by local people, some species having disappeared altogether due in part to deforestation.
Conservation assessments carried out at Kew
Arisaema jacquemontii is being monitored as part of the 'IUCN Sampled Red List Index for Plants', which aims to produce conservation assessments for a representative sample of the world's plant species. This information will then be used to monitor trends in extinction risk and help focus conservation efforts where they are needed most.
Fresh vegetables are scarce in many rural areas of Nepal, as people do not own large fields to grow vegetables year-round, and most villagers cannot afford to buy fresh vegetables in the markets. In addition, the climate in the Himalaya is too harsh in winter for many crops to grow. To counter the frequent lack of fresh vegetables, Nepalese villagers dry or ferment available green vegetables for later use. 'Gundruk' is prepared by fermenting leafy vegetables (such as various species of Brassica), or the leaves of wild plants.
Despite being poisonous if eaten raw, the leaves of Arisaema jacquemontii are used in this way. Fermentation helps to break down the toxic ingredients.
The tubers are also dug up, boiled and eaten like potatoes. In India, the tubers are crushed and the juice used for treating ringworm and various other skin diseases.
Jacquemont's cobra lily is widely cultivated as an ornamental.
Millennium Seed Bank: Seed storage
The Millennium Seed Bank Partnership aims to save plant life worldwide, focusing on plants under threat and those of most use in the future. Seeds are dried, packaged and stored at a sub-zero temperature in Kew's seed bank vault at Wakehurst.
Description of seeds: Average 1,000 seed weight = 10.9 g
Collections stored in the Millennium Seed Bank: One
Composition values: Average oil content = 1.8%. Average protein content = 14%.
This species at Kew
Arisaema jacquemontii can be seen growing in the Water Garden and Bog Garden at Wakehurst.
Dried and alcohol-preserved specimens of Arisaema jacquemontii are held in Kew's Herbarium, where they are available to researchers from around the world by appointment. The details of some of these, including some images, can be seen online in the Herbarium Catalogue.

Geographic Range
This species of butterfly, Papilio machaon, is found primarily in Europe and Asia, but populations are becoming more scarce and confined. Other regions where Papilio machaon can be found include Canada, Alaska, and California. ("Russian Butterflies", 1997; Carter, 1992; Struttmann, 2004)
- Biogeographic Regions
- nearctic
- palearctic
- Other Geographic Terms
- holarctic
Old World swallowtails live in varying habitats that span the world. In a variety of elevations, they find homes in grasslands, hilltops, tundras, forests, mountains, and other temperate areas. Some are even found in subarctic and Arctic areas of the globe. ("Russian Butterflies", 1997; Carter, 1992)
- Habitat Regions
- temperate
- Terrestrial Biomes
- tundra
- savanna or grassland
- forest

Physical Description
Papilio machaon has a striking coloration of black on top of a yellow base color. There are blue and red spots on the hind wings. A mutation or variation on swallowtails' natural color is the occasional butterfly that displays melanism, a black coloration on the wings, rather than yellow. The are fairly large butterflies compared to most others. Old World swallowtails have two overlapping wings, which create a wing span anywhere from 5.5 - 8 cm in length. Some females even have a fore-wing span that reaches beyond 8.8 cm. (Carter, 1992; Holland, 1907; Maier, 1998)
- Other Physical Features
- ectothermic
- heterothermic
- bilateral symmetry
- polymorphic
- Range wingspan
- 5.5 to 8.8 cm
- 2.17 to 3.46 in
Like all butterflies, Old World swallowtails undergo metamorphosis. In 8 to 10 days the eggs hatch into the larvae. The larval stage lasts for about 6 - 7 weeks, after which the pupal stage begins. Pupation usually occurs in August. This stage is the longest (and most variable) of the butterfly's life cycle lasting anywhere between 2 to 24 weeks. The adult stage is very short, often lasting only a few weeks. After breeding, the butterfly will die and the cycle begins again. (Burton, 1979; Struttmann, 2004)
- Development - Life Cycle
- metamorphosis
Adult swallowtails display hilltopping behavior and use this to identify potential mates. Following mating, females lay their spherically-shaped yellow eggs singly on the milk parsley. The breeding season is sometime in May through July. (Burton, 1979; Sbordoni and Forestiero, 1998; Struttmann, 2004)

- Breeding season
- May - July
Beyond developing and laying eggs, there is no parental care in this species.
- Parental Investment

The flight of Old World swallowtails is characterized by the strong flapping of their wings during the months of May and June. The butterflies of the north have one flight sometime in May through July while those of the south have two flights. (Burton, 1979; Sbordoni and Forestiero, 1998; Struttmann, 2004)
- Key Behaviors
- flies
- motile
Food Habits
In its caterpillar stage, Papilio machaon derives nourishment from its birth place on the milk parsley grown in parts of Europe, or among other various plants, preferrably those of the parsley family. These young caterpillars tend to eat the leaves of their host plant. Once these caterpillars have grown some, they prefer to eat the flowers on these plants. Adult butterflies feed on the nectar of these flowers. (Burton, 1979; Carter, 1992; Struttmann, 2004)
- Primary Diet
- herbivore
- Plant Foods
- leaves
- nectar
- flowers
Ecosystem Roles
Like all butterflies, Old World swallowtails can be effective pollinators.

Economic Importance for Humans: Positive
This species is very diverse, but has become less and less widespread. Aesthetically, they are unique and are still very rare in collections worldwide. (Holland, 1907)
- Positive Impacts
- ecotourism
Economic Importance for Humans: Negative
There are no known or serious adverse affects to humans noted at this time.
Conservation Status
There are no special concerns listed for Old World swallowtails, although it is recognized as rare. Efforts have been made to re-introduce it in some areas of England where it is no longer found. This was unsuccessful but could later be retried. According to the the Nature Conservancy Global Rank, it is a G5, secure globally although rare within its habitats. (Struttmann, 2004)

- Nearctic
living in the Nearctic biogeographic province, the northern part of the New World. This includes Greenland, the Canadian Arctic islands, and all of the North American as far south as the highlands of central Mexico.
- Palearctic
living in the northern part of the Old World. In otherwords, Europe and Asia and northern Africa.
- bilateral symmetry
having body symmetry such that the animal can be divided in one plane into two mirror-image halves. Animals with bilateral symmetry have dorsal and ventral sides, as well as anterior and posterior ends. Synapomorphy of the Bilateria.
- ecotourism
humans benefit economically by promoting tourism that focuses on the appreciation of natural areas or animals. Ecotourism implies that there are existing programs that profit from the appreciation of natural areas or animals.
- ectothermic
animals which must use heat acquired from the environment and behavioral adaptations to regulate body temperature
- fertilization
union of egg and spermatozoan
- folivore
an animal that mainly eats leaves.
- forest
forest biomes are dominated by trees, otherwise forest biomes can vary widely in amount of precipitation and seasonality.
- herbivore
An animal that eats mainly plants or parts of plants.
- heterothermic
having a body temperature that fluctuates with that of the immediate environment; having no mechanism or a poorly developed mechanism for regulating internal body temperature.
- holarctic
a distribution that more or less circles the Arctic, so occurring in both the Nearctic and Palearctic biogeographic regions.
Found in northern North America and northern Europe or Asia.
- internal fertilization
fertilization takes place within the female's body
- metamorphosis
A large change in the shape or structure of an animal that happens as the animal grows. In insects, "incomplete metamorphosis" is when young animals are similar to adults and change gradually into the adult form, and "complete metamorphosis" is when there is a profound change between larval and adult forms. Butterflies have complete metamorphosis, grasshoppers have incomplete metamorphosis.
- motile
having the capacity to move from one place to another.
- mountains
This terrestrial biome includes summits of high mountains, either without vegetation or covered by low, tundra-like vegetation.
- native range
the area in which the animal is naturally found, the region in which it is endemic.
- nectarivore
an animal that mainly eats nectar from flowers
- oviparous
reproduction in which eggs are released by the female; development of offspring occurs outside the mother's body.
- polymorphic
"many forms." A species is polymorphic if its individuals can be divided into two or more easily recognized groups, based on structure, color, or other similar characteristics. The term only applies when the distinct groups can be found in the same area; graded or clinal variation throughout the range of a species (e.g. a north-to-south decrease in size) is not polymorphism. Polymorphic characteristics may be inherited because the differences have a genetic basis, or they may be the result of environmental influences. We do not consider sexual differences (i.e. sexual dimorphism), seasonal changes (e.g. change in fur color), or age-related changes to be polymorphic. Polymorphism in a local population can be an adaptation to prevent density-dependent predation, where predators preferentially prey on the most common morph.
- seasonal breeding
breeding is confined to a particular season
- semelparous
offspring are all produced in a single group (litter, clutch, etc.), after which the parent usually dies. Semelparous organisms often only live through a single season/year (or other periodic change in conditions) but may live for many seasons. In both cases reproduction occurs as a single investment of energy in offspring, with no future chance for investment in reproduction.
- sexual
reproduction that includes combining the genetic contribution of two individuals, a male and a female
- temperate
that region of the Earth between 23.5 degrees North and 60 degrees North (between the Tropic of Cancer and the Arctic Circle) and between 23.5 degrees South and 60 degrees South (between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle).
- tropical savanna and grassland
A terrestrial biome. Savannas are grasslands with scattered individual trees that do not form a closed canopy. Extensive savannas are found in parts of subtropical and tropical Africa and South America, and in Australia.
- savanna
A grassland with scattered trees or scattered clumps of trees, a type of community intermediate between grassland and forest. See also Tropical savanna and grassland biome.
- temperate grassland
A terrestrial biome found in temperate latitudes (>23.5° N or S latitude). Vegetation is made up mostly of grasses, the height and species diversity of which depend largely on the amount of moisture available. Fire and grazing are important in the long-term maintenance of grasslands.
- tundra
A terrestrial biome with low, shrubby or mat-like vegetation found at extremely high latitudes or elevations, near the limit of plant growth. Soils usually subject to permafrost. Plant diversity is typically low and the growing season is short.

Jake has been effective with very little run support this year. Kenny Williams has done a crap job getting pitching for this team. W have only 2 quality startersand only 2 quality relievers. Time for him to go!
Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 9/22/12
Veteran pitcher Jake Peavy made his 30th start of the season on Friday, continuing to show some inconsistencies as of late, as the Angels beat him 6-2 in Anaheim. As it lines up right now, Peavy will make two more regular-season starts for the Sox, with the hope of pitching into the postseason. But it is now looking like they will be the final two regular-season starts that Peavy will make in a Sox uniform. The right-hander had been informed that the team was not picking up the $22 million club option for next season, and while it wasn't surprised by it at all, it again gave him something to think about moving forward into the offseason. "I get it," Peavy said. "But (the contract) is not in the forefront of my mind at all. There's nothing that I'm worried about other than trying to get this team in the playoffs. I wouldn't even know where to start with finances and how any of that works out. This will be my first time in this position, but I've made it clear that I'd l...

Keep Salem Beautiful Obtains Grant to Help Paint Activity CenterKeep Salem Beautiful has obtained a $2,050 grant that has been used to purchase paint for the Salem Community Activity Center. KSB Coordinator Jane Marshall and Salem Community Activity Center President Don Ruston made the announcement. Marshall says the grant awards through Keep America Beautiful are being used to purchase paint that features innovative raw materials provided by Dow Coating Materials.
"I was notified that they had paint available, so I called Ruston, and asked if they could use some paint for the Activity Center, and he said 'yes', so he helped me write the grant, and to our surprise, they granted it" said Marshall.
Ruston explains how the paint will be used.
"we've been needing to repaint the cafeteria and lower part of the gymnasium, as well as several other rooms that will get a fresh coat of paint" said Ruston.
Ruston says it has been ten years since the center has been repainted. Ruston worked with the owner of Salem hardware, Matt Caruth, to order the Sherwin-Williams Harmony Paint. Dow is in its seventh year as a national sponsor of the Keep America Beautiful Great American Cleanup.

An honest-to-goodness Colonial with clapboard siding isn't something you see every day in Manhattan or Brooklyn. But Staten Island isn't like the other boroughs. Perhaps by virtue of its isolation, it has managed to retain a decidedly suburban vibe. Working Girl notwithstanding, Hollywood production companies eager to replicate a small-town feel without having to invade one have been known to shoot there instead. (See Richard Dreyfus's The Education of Max Bickford) Critics belittle Staten Island for being so different too different? from the city, but fans of the hushed streets and verdant corners say that's precisely why they love it. Prodigal-borough status aside (the name of a local blog of course), Staten Island has much to offer buyers. First, many of the spaces are huge, as in four to six bedrooms. Plus, they're shockingly affordable; with one exception, all the properties listed below are priced at under a million. The open houses listed after the jump are in the northwest neighborhood of Mariners Harbor or the North Shore itself, which means you won't be too far deep in the heart of the island. Not that there's anything wrong with that. S. Jhoanna Robledo

MADISON, WI, May 3, 2010-Conventional agriculture production relies heavily on fossil fuels, particularly in its ability to provide energy at a low cost. However, the uncertain future of fossil fuel availability and prices point to need to explore energy efficiencies in other cropping systems.
Most of the U.S. Corn Belt relies on a two-year rotation of corn and soybean with heavy inputs of fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides derived from fossil fuels to achieve high yields keep costs low. Matt Liebman, Michael Cruse, and their colleagues at Iowa State University conducted a six-year study to compare energy use of a conventionally managed corn and soybean system with two low input cropping systems that use more diverse crops and manure applications, but also use less fertilizer and herbicides. The results were published in the May/June 2010 edition of Agronomy Journal, published by the American Society of Agronomy.
The two input systems consisted of a three-year rotation of corn-soybean/small grain/red clover and a four-year rotation of corn-soybean-small grain/alfalfa-alfalfa. Between 2003 and 2008, nitrogen fertilizer inputs in the 3-year rotation decreased 66% and decreased 78% in the 4-year rotation. Herbicide use decreased 80% in the three-year rotation and 85% in the four-year rotation. Despite the energy input reduction, corn and soybean yields matched or exceeded the conventional system yields.
Did the application of manure decrease the fossil fuel energy costs? Manure prices are dependent on local economic conditions, but the two low-input systems used 23% to 56% less fossil energy than conventional systems. To analyze the energy and economic costs of manure application, the researchers used two approaches. One where manure was a waste product of live stock and essentially free of cost except for the energy used in its application, and a second approach as if the costs of manure were the same as commercial fertil

My daughter is a HS junior and has begun her college search. She has been gluten-free for 9 years. She also has other food allergies.
Obviously, the competance of the dining services will be a major part of her college decision. Does any one have any input on what colleges are really good or not good at handling gluten-free diets and food allergies?
She is primarily interested in schools in the Northeast and possibly the mid-atlantic area.
We would love some input from people with recent, first hand experience either attending college or who have recently visited.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

This example uses the
slvnvdemo_powerwindow example
model to show how to verify a component in the context of the model
that contains that component. As you work through this example, you
use the Simulink® Verification and Validation™ component verification
functions to create test cases and measure coverage for a referenced
model. In addition, you execute the referenced model in both simulation
mode and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) mode using the Code Generation
Verification (CGV) API and then compare the results.
Note: You must have the following product licenses to run this example:
The component you verify is a Model block named
control. This component resides inside the
power_window_control_system subsystem
in the top level of the
slvnvdemo_powerwindow model.
The Model block references the
slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller model.
The referenced model contains a Stateflow chart
which implements the logic for the power window controller.
To verify the referenced model
you need to create a harness model that contains the input signals
that simulate the controller in the plant model. Perform the following
Open the
slvnvdemo_powerwindow example
Open the
power_window_control_system subsystem.
The Model block named control in the
power_window_control_system subsystem
references the component you verify during this example—
Load the referenced model:
Simulate the Model block that references
slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller and
log the input signals to the Model block:
loggedSignalsPlant = ... slvnvlogsignals(... 'slvnvdemo_powerwindow/power_window_control_system/control');
slvnvlogsignals stores the logged signals
Generate an empty harness model so that you can create new test cases manually:
harnessModelFilePath = ... slvnvmakeharness('slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller');
slvnvmakeharness creates a harness model
The harness model includes:
Test Unit — A Model block that references the
slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller model.
Inputs — A Signal Builder block that contains
one test case. That test case specifies the values of the input signals
logged when the model
slvnvdemo_powerwindow was
Test Case Explanation — A DocBlock block that describes the test case.
Size-Type — A Subsystem block that transmits signals from the Inputs block to the Test Unit block. The output signals from this block match the input signals for the Model block you are verifying.
moveUp and moveDown — Two output ports that match the output ports from the Model block.
Save the name of the harness model for use later in this example:
[~,harnessModel] = fileparts(harnessModelFilePath);
Leave all models open for the next part of this example.
Next, create a test case that tests values for input signals to the component.
Add a test case for your component to help you get closer to achieving 100% coverage.
For this example, use the
signalbuilder function
to add a new test case to the Signal Builder block in the harness
model. The new test case specifies new values for the input signals
to the component:
Load the file that contains the data for the new test case into the MATLAB® workspace:
The workspace variables
newTestData and
newTestTime contain
the test-case data.
Add the new test case to the Signal Builder block in the harness model.
signalBuilderBlock = slvnvdemo_signalbuilder_block(harnessModel); signalbuilder(signalBuilderBlock,'Append',... newTestTime, newTestData,... {'endstop','obstacle','driver(1)','driver(2)','driver(3)',... 'passenger(1)','passenger(2)','passenger(3)'},'New Test Case');
Simulate the harness model with both test cases, then log the signals to the referenced model, and save the results:
loggedSignalsHarness = slvnvlogsignals(harnessModel);
Next, record coverage for the
slvnv_powerwindow_controller model.
You have two sets of test case data:
loggedSignalsPlant — Logged
signals to the Model block control
loggedSignalsHarness — Logged
signals to the test cases you added to the empty harness
To simulate all the test data at the same time, merge the two data files into a single data file:
Combine the test case data:
mergedTestCases = slvnvmergedata(loggedSignalsPlant,... loggedSignalsHarness);
View the merged data:
Next, simulate the referenced model with the merged data and
recover coverage for the referenced model,
Model coverage is a measure of how thoroughly a test case tests
a model and the percentage of pathways that a test case exercises.
To record coverage for the
slvnv_powerwindow_controller model:
Create a default options object, required by the
slvnvruntest function:
runopts = slvnvruntestopts;
Specify to simulate the model, and record coverage:
runopts.coverageEnabled = true;
Simulate the model using the logged input signals:
[~, covdata] = slvnvruntest('slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller',... mergedTestCases,runopts);
Display the HTML coverage report:
cvhtml('Coverage with Test Cases from Harness', covdata);
slvnv_powerwindow_controller model achieved:
Decision coverage: 44%
Condition coverage: 45%
MCDC coverage: 10%
Note: For more information about decision coverage, condition coverage, and MCDC coverage, see Types of Model Coverage.
If you do not achieve the desired coverage, continue to modify the test cases in the Signal Builder in the harness model, log the input signals to the harness model, and repeat the preceding steps until you achieve the desired coverage.
To achieve additional coverage to bring your model closer to 100% coverage, modify or add test cases using the Signal Builder block in the harness model, as described in Create and Log Test Cases.
To verify that the generated code for the model produces the same results as simulating the model, use the Code Generation Verification (CGV) API methods. When you perform this procedure, the simulation compiles and executes the model code using the merged test cases:
Create a default options object for
runcgvopts = slvnvruntestopts('cgv');
Specify to execute the model in simulation mode:
runcgvopts.cgvConn = 'sim';
Execute the
slvnv_powerwindow_controller model
using the two test cases and the
runopts object:
cgvSim = slvnvruncgvtest('slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller', ... mergedTestCases, runcgvopts);
These steps save the results in the workspace variable
Next, execute the same model with the same test cases in Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) mode and compare the results from both simulations.
For more information about Normal simulation mode, see Execute the Model.
When you execute a model in Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) mode, the simulation compiles and executes the generated code on your host computer.
To execute a model in SIL mode, you must have an Embedded Coder license.
In this section, you execute the
slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller model
in SIL mode and compare the results to the previous section, where
you executed the model in simulation mode:
Specify to execute the model in SIL mode:
runcgvopts.cgvConn = 'sil';
Execute the
slvnv_powerwindow_controller model
using the merged test cases and the
runopts object:
cgvSil = slvnvruncgvtest('slvnvdemo_powerwindow_controller', ... mergedTestCases, runcgvopts);
The workspace variable
cgvSil contains the
results of the SIL mode execution.
Compare the results in
cgvSil to
the results in to
cgvSim (the results from the
simulation mode execution). Use the
to compare the results from the two simulations:
for i=1:length(loggedSignalsHarness.TestCases) simout = cgvSim.getOutputData(i); silout = cgvSil.getOutputData(i); [matchNames, ~, mismatchNames, ~ ] = ... cgv.CGV.compare(simout, silout);
Display the results of the comparison in the MATLAB command window:
fprintf('\nTest Case(%d): %d Signals match, ... %d Signals mismatch', i, length(matchNames), ... length(mismatchNames)); end

Infrared photography is a way of creating images using the invisible infrared light that strikes your subject. Long-time infrared experimenter Nevada Wier calls it "invisible poetry," because in the process of studying this technique, you move beyond your usual methods of photographing and discover a new way of seeing the world. Infrared is not only ideal for creating unusual, surreal landscapes, but it's also startling for portrait and still life photography.
Infrared photography in the digital age is light years ahead of its film counterpart. Two factors have led to this unique niche becoming more accessible: first, the use of digital cameras that have been converted to render infrared light and, second, new digital workflow protocols.
In this two-day intensive, Nevada introduces you to digital infrared photography. Using converted cameras and Adobe software, you will learn the ins and outs of photographing and processing your images. After getting comfortable with the technique, you move into the creative and experimental side of making images with the infrared spectrum.
Historic Santa Fe and the neighboring town of Nambé, provide us with dramatic locations for our infrared explorations. By the end of this intensive you are a maven of invisible light and a maker of photographic poetry. In addition you come away with one print of your favorite image.

St. Mary's celebrates speedy heart treatment
Most people with hear disease don't have what Jan Ernest, vice president of cardiovascular services at St. Mary's Hospital, calls "Hollywood heart attacks," where they clutch their chest and fall to the floor.
The symptoms are normally much more subtle with a feeling of tightness in the chest, shortness of breath, weakness or fatigue.
"A complete heart attack can last 12 to 24 hours," Ernest said. "It's not uncommon for people to wait a couple hours before coming in."
But if they're experiencing symptoms, people need to get to a hospital emergency room within 20 minutes, she said.
Response time is important, and that's why St. Mary's ST-elevation myocardial infarction team was celebrating Thursday the hospital's being ranked by the American College of Cardiology for the second year in a row among the top 10 percent in the nation in the time it takes staff to treat a heart attack patient.
The hospital met the American College of Cardiology's national goal of treating patients in less than 90 minutes 100 percent of the time.
"It's not that we have 90 minutes," Ernest said. "We want faster than that."
The process of diagnosing a heart attack and unblocking the clogged artery is a team effort, she said, from the Emergency Medical Services personnel who begin the procedures to the cardiologists who inflate the angioplasty balloon.
Ernest said a team composed of staff from each area involved in handling a heart attack holds immediate reviews to discuss any problems, what went well and what could have been better.
Low times for treating a heart attack are especially crucial because every minute spent untreated, heart muscle near the clogged artery dies, Ernest said.
Cardiologist Philip Casino said the hospital has treated one heart attack patient in less than half an hour, but most cases are handled in less than 60 minutes. That, he said, is the hospital's new goal — to have every case handled in under an hour.
"I think we've achieved what the ACC wants us to achieve," Casino said.

By definition, that can't happen. Destiny is not controllable. Just look at the Carolina Hurricanes, who were a win away from a playoff berth entering Saturday night's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Hurricanes responded -- well, they took the ice at least at the RBC Center -- with a listless first period and never recovered en route to a 6-2 loss. Instead of the playoff returning to Raleigh, it will be the New York Rangers who get to face the Washington Capitals in the first round of the playoffs.
"I didn't feel the tension (early), but it mounted when it got (to a) two (goals)," Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice told reporters after the game. "Simple things became difficult to do. . . I think there was a chance (that Carolina) was in shock at 3-0. We felt alright going out and had come off the good night and then, boom. It happened so fast that you're shell-shocked a little bit."
The 'Canes could not solve lanky Lightning goalie Mike Smith, who only had one victory in 10 games against Carolina. (That one victory did come March 26, the 'Canes only regulation loss in their previous 10 games.) Smith made 42 saves, had one assist and came a couple feet away from scoring with 'Canes goalie Cam Ward pulled in the closing minutes of regulation.
Not bad for a goalie who will likely begin the playoffs on the bench in deference to the more veteran Dwayne Roloson.
The Lightning built a 3-0 lead in the first period off goals by Dominic Moore, Vincent Lecavalier and Steven Stamkos. It became a 4-0 lead midway through the second period off a Brett Clark tally.
By the time the 'Canes got on the board with 7:29 left in the second via a Cory Stillman power play goal, the game was basically unsalvageable.
What a difference 24 hours makes. The 'Canes cruised to a 6-1 victory over the Atlanta Thrashers a night earlier, a game that put them into a position to earn the eighth and final seed in the Eastern Conference a couple different ways. A Rangers loss to New Jersey would have made the Lightning-Hurricane game moot. Instead the Rangers earned a 5-2 comeback victory over the Devils to set up a win-or-golf game for the Hurricanes.
Still, Maurice said he'd take the disappointment of just missing the playoffs over being an also-ran.
"It should make it harder (to take)," Maurice said. "It should make it more painful. The more you invest in something, the more painful it should be when it goes away from you. Still, we'd much rather be in a situation where we fought as hard as we could to get to this point and have to go through the pain of this result than if we would have let it slip away a month ago."
With the end of the season, teams usually start to list the injuries they have hid the last several weeks. The first was captain Eric Staal, who Maurice said suffered a pulled groin three weeks ago.
"It got to a point last week (that) we weren't certain we were going to have him in the lineup," Maurice said. "He played so very well on limited legs and produced points."
With Saturday's loss comes the end of a stellar season by rookie Jeff Skinner, a favorite for the Calder Trophy. Skinner had an assist to bring his point total to 63, the highest of any rookie. His 31 goals were the third-most goals by a rookie, trailing New York Islanders forward Michael Grabner (34) and San Jose's Logan Couture (32).
Soon the 'Canes will assess who will be around next season. Forwards Erik Cole, Chad LaRose, Stillman and Jusi Jokinen, along with defenseman Joni Pitkanen will be unrestricted free agents. Maurice, who is in his second stint as Carolina's head coach, even addressed if he might be back.
"(General manager) Jim (Rutherford) will make his assessment," said Maurice, who took the 'Canes to the playoffs after he replaced Peter Laviolette during the 2008-09 season. "I'm very proud of the way the team has performed this year."
It didn't take long, however, for Luke DeCock of The News & Observer to point the blame:
Someone's going to have to answer for this. Surely it will be coach Paul Maurice, who hasn't taken a team he has coached for a full season to the NHL playoffs since 2002 and who cannot account for a loss Saturday that cost the franchise millions of dollars.
No matter how highly owner Peter Karmanos and general manager Jim Rutherford regard Maurice, even they must see that it's time for a change. Maurice is a good man and a good coach, but the past two seasons haven't measured up, and Saturday's flat-line with everything on the line defies explanation.

UBI Quarterly Net Rises 82% Beating Estimate on Higher Revenue
Aug. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Unione di Banche Italiane SCPA, Italy's fifth-largest bank, said second-quarter profit almost doubled on higher income from lending and trading.
Net income rose to 48.1 million euros ($64 million) from 26.5 million euros a year ago, the Bergamo-based bank said in a statement today. That beat of the 34.1 million-euro average estimate of eight analysts surveyed by Bloomberg News.
Chief Executive Officer Victor Massiah is reducing costs and steering clients toward more lucrative products as stricter measures of bank-health and record-low interest rates squeeze margins. UBI is one of the 15 Italian lenders included in the European Central Bank's region-wide review of bank balance sheets. The regulator is looking at how banks value their assets and whether they can withstand shocks to the industry, part of an effort to prevent another financial crisis.
Revenue rose 3.5 percent from a year earlier to 882.5 million euros boosted by a 6 percent increase in net interest income, a 4 percent gain in fees and 10 percent increase of income from trading.
UBI's common equity Tier 1 phased-in ratio, a measure of financial strength, rose to 12.7 percent as of June 30 from 12.2 percent at the end of March. Loan-loss provisions rose to 230.5 million euros from 226.2 million euros.
UBI shares rose as much as 4.6 percent and were 1.6 percent higher at 5.59 euros as of 11:28 a.m. in Milan trading, giving the lender a market value of about 5 billion euros. The shares are up 13 percent this year, compared with a 5.2 percent decline in the benchmark Bloomberg Europe Banks and Financial Services Index in the same period.
