There was no change in the 1st Congressional District Republican primary outcome after the State Election Commission certified the recount results Friday.
The final tally still means second-place finisher Curtis Bostic will face first-place finisher Mark Sanford on April 2 for the GOP nomination.
Election Commission spokesman Chris Whitmire said the only change after the mandated recount was that third-place finisher Larry Grooms picked up one vote, in his home Berkeley County.
The addition came after officials discovered one ballot had been misread because of a scanning issue in which no vote was recorded.
The results gave Sanford 36.9 percent of the vote to 13.3 percent for Bostic and 12.4 percent for Grooms.
The recount was held because the margin between Bostic and Grooms was less than 1 percent.
On the Democratic side, Elizabeth Colbert Busch was certified as the winner of the party primary, getting 96 percent of the vote to 4 percent for Ben Frasier.
Also Friday, Sanford was endorsed by Jeff King, who also had sought the nomination. King is the third candidate to back Sanford since Tuesday. The others are Elizabeth Moffly and Keith Blanford.

This is ideal for the cold windy springs we have. I start my carrots, lettuce. spinich, parcely and direct sow tomato seeds. My husband made me one and he really couldn't do it cheaper. I plan on ordering another.
the only improvement would be if the covers could be latched in the open vent position to prevent the wind from blowing them open.

We bought the raised bed and the cold frame that matched in size. They were fairly easy to put together and made of beautiful materials. We had some difficulty lining up the two clear covers with the rest of the frame, but managed in the end to make it work.

Overall a good product, however, if I had had the time, I think I would have been able to build this for the same price or less. There is only one size for the opening, so I purchased automatic vent openers, however thier installation reduces the amount of growing space by about a square foot. Also one of the boards was slightly bowed, but easily was pushed and held back into place with a 1x2.
I was most pleased with the corner brackets being air tight, but was left wanting with how the top window edge lines up with the back board.
The window is of good construction and overall the product was easy to build.

PLATTSBURGH — Summer is long gone in the North Country, but the Plattsburgh farmers market is still going strong.
Unlike its warm-weather counterpart, the winter market is held indoors, at the City Recreation Center at the Old Base Oval in Plattsburgh.
"We are a producer only market, which means everything for sale here is produced locally," said Beth Spaugh, owner of Rehoboth Farms and organizer of the winter market.
Spaugh said fresh salad greens are offered all winter long at the market, where a wide range of goods are available.
Vendors include Rehoboth Homestead, Asgaard Farm, Creative Custom Candles, Stone House Vineyard, Underwood Herbs, Adirondack Specialty Foods, The Skinny Baker, Katie's Creations, Parker Family Maple Farm and Woven Meadows and Farm.
Rhonda Butler and David Brunner, owners of Asgaard Farm in Au Sable Forks, offer a sampling of their farm's products at the market, which includes grass-fed beef, goat cheese, sausage, soap and caramels.
There is variety there, but Butler said it all goes back to one animal.
"Everything on our farm is related to goats," Butler said.
But she didn't stop there. Soon Butler realized that, by utilizing the animals effectively, she could have a fully functioning farm.
"Goats and cattle are very complimentary feeders," Butler said. "The main advantage is they clean the fields for one another."
Butler explained that goats can safely ingest the parasites that harm cows, and vice versa.
In addition to ungulates there is also a bright yellow chicken coop, which is now festooned with holiday decorations, that is on wheels for easy relocation.
About four days after the cows move through the fields the chickens, and their coop, follow, picking protein-packed insect larva out of the manure.
After the chickens are finished, the goats return and the cycle begins again.
By rotating livestock in this manner, Butler and Brunner can keep their animals healthy without using pesticides.

The Chicago Food Glossary: A Guide to the Unique Dishes of the Windy City

A parched landscape with cracks in the ground thirsting for moisture, weeds competing with other vegetation in a struggle to choke the remnants of water from the soil and a man with a wide brimmed hat, sun-seared skin, looking toward the sky wondering when it will rain – these are images of areas associated with erratic rainfall or those that are suffering from drought.
And although one might not see a windstorm with tumbleweeds blowing across a barren stretch of land, the drought that began Dec. 15 impacted Aiken County, as it was one of seven South Carolina counties on the Georgia border that's eligible for federal emergency small business disaster loans.
Small agricultural cooperatives, small businesses engaged in aquaculture and most private nonprofit organizations in those counties that experienced some type of impact because of the drought are eligible to apply for the loans through the Small Business Administration, Michael Lampton, Small Business Administration spokesman said. The loans are contingent on the nature of the incident.
If the drought causes one of the aforementioned businesses to lose its ability to pay bills, account for payroll and retire fixed debts that could have been addressed under normal circumstances, they'll be eligible for those loans, said Lampton. The loans are not to be confused with lost sales or profit.
Those businesses involved with agricultural production, farming and ranching are not eligible to apply for loans through the Small Business Administration, with the exception of aquaculture enterprises. Nurseries are also eligible to apply.
"The Small Business Administration can provide assistance to the those businesses in the community that were impacted," said Lampton, in a phone interview Wednesday afternoon. "This infusion of working capital can help sustain the operations because they've lost revenue as a result of the drought."
But, what do area businesses do to cope with limited or erratic rainfall, evaporation and the challenge of keeping a place sufficiently irrigated?
River Rich Hunt Club's Watson Bode was able to weather the storm, or lack thereof, by having sufficient irrigation on his property. Bode uses a sprinkler system on his garden every three days, and his flowing wells and an electric pump on his property to keep his ponds full.
"The sandy land doesn't hold moisture," said Bode. "It would have to rain every five days. And for the past three or four years, rainfall seems to come to a stop every May."

Frequently Asked Questions for Augason Farms Food Storage Products:
Q: How will my product be shipped?
A: Most items are shipped by small parcel carriers like FedEx or UPS. The larger kits will arrive in multiple boxes from a single carrier.
Q: What do the numbers mean that are marked on my Food Storage Kit Boxes?
A: To facilitate fulfillment of your order, all kit boxes are pre-assembled with specific products, then pulled from inventory to assemble your order. Numbers on the boxes may not be in sequential order. Pail items will be shipped in separate cases.
Q: Why when I open the cans/pails, are some only partially filled?
A: With some products, settling occurs and is expected. Cans/pails are sold by weight and not by volume for that reason.
Q: Once I open the product, how long do I have to use the product?
A: Shelf life varies by product and is affected by temperature and moisture. Once the can/pail is opened, the storage life for most products is approximately one year.
- Beans, Freeze Dried Fruits & Vegetables, Grains: 30 years (Exception – Brown Rice: 7 years)
- Bakery Staples: 30 years (Exception – Ultimate Gel, Shortening Powder, Flour, Vital Wheat Gluten, Dough Enhancer: 10 years)

A: Product is best when stored in a cool, dry place at temperatures between 55˚F and 70˚F (ideal humidity 15%). Once product is open, please ensure the lid is secure when storing and use within the guidelines.
Q: Does heat or cold affect the shelf life of the product?
A: Heat shortens the storage life of any food – the cooler the storage, the longer the storage life.
Q: How do I compare "servings per can or pail" to product weight?
A: The truth is you cannot. Our serving sizes and number of servings per can are set with respect to government guidelines on food nutrition and recipe requirements for each product. You will find some recipe creations may require multiple servings of specific products to create the recipe. When reviewing food storage kits, a good comparison is based upon number of persons, calories per day, length of time and calculating the total number of meals possible. For example: 1-Person, 1-Year (3 meals per day, 365 days = 1,095 total meals), 1,700 calories per day.
Q: If a can gets dented, does it affect the quality of the product?
A: Small dents may occur in cans from shipping, and this is normal. They do not pose a problem, provided the seal has not been broken at top or bottom of the can. If the seal has been broken at the top or bottom of the can, please contact Sam's Club Customer Service to resolve the issue: 1.888.746.7726.
Dents should not occur from shipping in pails.
Q: Are the cans/pails marked with "use by" dates?
A: Cans/pails are marked with a production date called a Julian date. For example, 12022 means the can was produced in 2012 on the 22nd day (January 22). Each can is also marked with the expected storage life.

It has a satin finish–it has more of a frosted look than your average satin. This shade will be a nice highlighter on light-medium to medium skin tones especially. It's a bit like the shade in Giorgio Armani #1 Madreperla. Urban Decay Skimp is similar but lighter. MAC Bisque is a touch darker and matte.

5. Also, Khloé already looks kinda over it.

About UT Arlington: UT Arlington is 2-8 coming into
its first ever WAC game. The team joined the conference this season, but is
moving to the Sun Belt in 2013-14. Going into the weekend, UTA is led by
Malaika Green with 8.2 points per game and Aron Garcia leads the team in
rebounds with 7.4 per game. Green is shooting 39.5 percent from the floor with
13 assists and 11 total rebounds. Garcia has started nine of the Mavs 10 games
and proves to be a staple on defense for the team. Shooting just 35.8 percent
(19-53) the junior has tallied 54 defensive rebounds with 10 blocks and 10
steals this season.
Series History Versus
the Mavericks: The Aggies are 0-3
against the Mavs, with the most recent meeting coming in 2005. This marks the
first meeting between the teams as conference opponents, however. UTA joined
the WAC starting this fall, and will move to the Sun Belt in 2013-14.
About La Tech: La
Tech is 4-6 this season before heading into WAC play. The team is winless on
the road, picking up each of its four wins on home court. The Techsters are
still showing to be powerful at the glass with Brittany Lewis shooting 51.6
percent from the floor. She has started each of the Techsters 10 games and
still manages to help in defense, averaging 6.2 rebounds a game. Lewis, while
shooting well from the floor, has made just one three pointer in her six
attempts and is shooting 57.1 percent from the line.
Series History Versus the Techsters: Louisiana Tech has won nine straight agaist the Aggies,
with an overall series record of 16-2. The last time NM State picked up a win
over the Techsters was in February of 2008 during the WAC tournament
quarterfinals in Las Cruces.
The Looks
Looking Ahead: NM
State gets back on the road after nearly a month at home. The Aggies travel to
UTSA on Jan. 3, before making the short trip to meet Texas State on Jan. 5.
Looking Back: NM
State bounced back after a 60-44 loss to the New Mexico Lobos with a 75-50
victory over UMKC. The win marked the sixth of the Aggies season, tying the
teams win total for the 2011-12 season. The Aggies bounced back after a
two-game losing streak to beat the 'Roos by the largest margin against any
opponent this season.
Sophomore Danesia
Williamson tallied 21 points on the night with a steal and two rebounds. She
marked a season high seven assists. As a team, NM State shot 41.5 percent from
the field and picked up 29 points off UMKC turnovers. The Aggies also shot 46.7
percent (14-30) behind the three-point line with four of those coming from
Aggie Country
About the Aggies: NM State is 6-4 on
the season with a 5-1 record at the Pan American Center. The Aggies are
shooting 33.6 percent from the floor after the 10 games and have collected a
team total of 361 total rebounds. The team is staying consistent at the line,
shooting 68.3 percent from the line with Stefanie Gilbreath leading at the line
with 22-for-26 on the season. The Aggies were on a four-game win streak in
November before falling to I-10 rival UTEP in early December.
Home-Court Comfort: The Aggies are 5-1 in
the Pan American Center this season. Prior to the Dec. 18 loss to Rio Grande
Rival New Mexico, the Aggies boasted a perfect record at home. During the
2011-12 season, five of NM State's six wins came at the Pan Am.
Aggies in the WAC
NM State opens WAC play after a 6-4
start. Last season, NM State found itself 1-13 in conference play with the
teams only win coming against San Jose State on
Senior Night (2/18). Saturday marks the first conference match-up between the
Aggies and UT Arlington since the recent conference realignments.
Seasons Leadings
Danesia Williamson has
proved to be essential on the court for the Aggies this season after starting nine
of the Aggies nine games so far. She boasts an average of 14.2 points per game
with her season high coming against I-10 rival UTEP (11/28) when she scored 23,
helping NM State to a 69-68 win over the Miners. She has posted seven games
with over 15 points and has not left a game this season with less than nine. In
the Aggies most recent game against UMKC, the sophomore transfer picked up 21
point with a season high seven assists.
Kelsie Rozendaal leads
the Aggies this season with 56 total rebounds. She has collected 35 of those on
the defensive side of the ball while still managing to average 10.0 points per
game. The senior averages 6.3 rebounds a game and leads the team with a 53.7
field goal percentage (29-54) in her nine games this season. Rozendaal had her
best game this season on opening night when she posted her first double-double
of the year with 22 points and 11 rebounds, helping the Aggies to a 77-76
overtime win.
Preseason Accolades: The Western Athletic
Conference coaches and media picked NM State to finish eighth and ninth in
their respective preseason polls, and senior guard Stefanie Gilbreath was named

Samford University provides work opportunities for students through the two following programs: The Federal Work Study program (FWS) is need-based, as determined by the FAFSA, and the Institutional Student Employment Program (ISEP) which is not need-based.
There are two types of student employment opportunities: Federal Work Study (FWS) and Samford's Institutional Student Employment Program (ISEP).
Students must work with the Office of Financial Aid to determine if they qualify for the FWS program. Learn more about FWS or search open FWS positions.
If you do not qualify for the Federal Work Study program, you may still be able to find on-campus employment through Samford's Institutional Student Employment Program.
After you have found a student job, you must complete the student employment paperwork before you begin working. Bring completed forms along with appropriate documents for the I-9 form and your banking information to Human Resources. No scans, copies or faxes can be used. Human Resources staff will be available to assist you with completion of these forms but cannot give tax advice.
Students should also bring a voided check or routing and account information from your bank if you want to participate in direct deposit.
After completing all requirements for student employment, you will receive a Student Employment Authorization Card as confirmation that you are eligible to begin working. No one should allow a student to perform any type of work without seeing their card. Show this card to your supervisor and begin work.
To view your federal work study award, earnings and balance through Banner Self-Service follow the one-time setup instructions below.
Please use this information to monitor your remaining work study balance and to be aware of changes in your award.
Students may contact employers about on‐campus jobs directly or search a list of available on campus positions with job description, job requirements and contact information. Most jobs for the fall semester will be listed by August.
Students who are eligible for FWS also have the option of finding employment through the FWS Community Work Service Program. This program allows students to work for a local nonprofit organization or public agency, or as a reading/math tutor for local elementary schools through the America Reads and America Counts Programs while utilizing their FWS award. Possible opportunities may be viewed on the Agency List. Students interested in working through this program should contact the Office of Financial Aid at email@example.com, (800) 888-7245 or (205) 726-2905.
If you have been awarded funds through the Federal Work‐Study program for the upcoming aid year, these funds will be paid as a paycheck for hours worked on a biweekly basis.
Institutional Student Employment Program positions are funded by department budgets on campus. Student earnings will be paid biweekly in the form of a check or direct deposit payable to the student.
Students employed by Samford University must complete the following forms and return them to the Human Resources department on the third floor of Samford Hall.

Sure, you can launch your Android app in IntelliJ's debugger, but that's slow. IntelliJ allows you to dynamically attach the debugger to a running device using the "Attach debugger to Android process" button. That's fast!

We have published a simple Android project that illustrates how to use tabs in an Android app:
TabWidget, and
android:divider. Thank you Pivot Ryan, the original author, for taking the time to write and open source this. Check it out, fork it, and enjoy — https://github.com/pivotal/Pivotal-Android-Tabs
IntelliJ trick: in a
colors.xml file, place your cursor on a hex value and hold down
Shift. You'll see a large preview of the color.
(Repost from the 6/22/2011 Standup blog): You can use a selector drawable to set Android text color for the various states (focused, selected, etc.) using a drawable xml file. IntelliJ will complain and say this is invalid syntax but the application will use the file as you would expect. This only seems to work for the
android:textColor attribute in
Android ListView#addHeaderView and ListView#addFooterView methods are strange: you have to add the header and footer Views before you set the
ListView's adapter so the
ListView can take the headers and footers into consideration — you get an exception otherwise. Here we add a
ProgressBar (spinner) as the
// spinner is a ProgressBar
We'd like to be able to show and hide that spinner at will, but removing it outright is dangerous because we'd never be able to add it again without destroying the
ListView — remember, we can't
addHeaderView after we've it's adapter:
listView.removeHeaderView(spinner); //dangerous!
So let's hide it! Turns out that's hard, too. Just hiding the spinner view itself results in an empty, but still visible, header area.
Now try to hide the spinner:
Result: header area still visible with an ugly space:
The solution is to put the progress bar in a
LinearLayout that wraps it's content, and hiding the content. That way the wrapping
LinearLayout will collapse when its content is hidden, resulting in a headerView that is technically still present, but 0dip high:
<!-- simplified -->
Then, set the layout as the header:
spinnerLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.header_view_spinner, null);
And when we need to hide it, hide the layout's content, not the layout:
Now the header disappears from view. No more ugly space at the top!

On Wednesday during the closing segment of a three-and-a-half hour keynote presentation at his company's developers conference, Google Google CEO Larry Page chided the media for its interpretation of his company's relationship with other technology firms. Making one of his first public appearances since missing company events with vocal cord ailments last year, Page made it clear that he was unhappy with the portrayal of Google as a divisive figure in Silicon Valley.
"Every story I read about Google is kind of 'us versus some other company' or some stupid thing, and I just don't find that very interesting," said Page. "We should be building things that don't exist."
Early critics of Google's new music service, however, would argue that the Mountain View, Calif.-based company is doing the exact opposite of what its cofounder wants. Announced at Google I/O shortly before Page's appearance on stage, "Google Play Music All Access" places the $303 billion (market capitalization) tech behemoth squarely in the path of companies like Spotify and Rdio in a crowded music streaming space that provides users no shortage of options.
While Google's music application had been a rumored announcement a day before the conference, most held their commentary on the search giant's new foray into audio streaming until after the service was unveiled at I/O. At the conference, it was initially met with applause from the Google-hospitable crowd–as were most products–but it didn't take long for skeptics to call out the company in light of Page's pronouncements.
"Google fans seem to eat this kumbaya stuff up, to really believe it," wrote John Gruber, a blogger who runs the Apple Apple-friendly site Daring Fireball. "But Google is the company that built Android after the iPhone, Google Plus after Facebook Facebook and now a subscription music service after Spotify."
Those skeptical of All Access point to its similarities with preceding competitors, of which there are plenty. With regards to the actual music, Google's service offers millions of songs across 22 genres from the major labels of Universal Music, Sony Sony Entertainment Group and Warner Music Group, though its catalogue on a macroscopic level seems undifferentiated from the likes of Rdio, for example. The use cases for All Access also offer little variance, with user-curated playlists drawing comparisons to features on Spotify. The "laid-back" radio-like streaming approach that was championed by Google Engineering Director Chris Yerga at I/O, can be likened to Pandora.
Priced at $9.99 a month–similar to Spotify but more expensive that Pandora at $3.99–All Access seems like a development created more out of necessity than out of innovation, says Forrester analyst and Forbes contributor James McQuivey.
"If Google failed to make a play for the music business, it would later regret it because its customers would remain forever tied to another digital service even if Google Android and Chrome devices continue their dominance," he said. "That explains why Google Play is adding All Access."
After coming up short with its attempts at an online audio library with Google Music in 2011, the Larry Page-led company does not want to fall behind again in the musical arms race. That realization comes at a time when Apple, Amazon and even Beats Electronics have been reported to be building out their own streaming capabilities, while Spotify, Pandora and Berlin-based SoundCloud continue to thrive in unique audio verticals. SoundCloud CEO Alexander Ljung, however, didn't seem worried by the entry of another big player.
"Google's All Access provides more choice to consumers, but the more players in the space that launch an all-you-can-eat subscription service the more obvious it becomes that SoundCloud is the only true differentiated platform… providing everyone the opportunity to discover new and original music and audio," he said.
For now, it remains to be seen if users of other audio platforms would be willing to make the switch to Google's service, which is currently only available in the U.S. There's not much more you can do to attract them "short of making the music free," said McQuivey, who believes the company missed a significant chance to expand.
"The real opportunity is for a blended media subscription experience, imagine a $24.99 a month for all-access music, free Netflix-like streaming, two current movie downloads and a lending library for paid games where you can "check out" one paid game at a time for free for one week," he said. "That would be a way to make Google Play media content do more than merely copy iTunes, Pandora and Spotify."

NOTE: This page has been updated to reflect the fact that the American Opportunity Tax Credit, which was to expire at the end of 2010, was extended for an additional two years through December 2012 by the Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2010.
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), more parents and students will qualify for a tax credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit, to pay for college expenses.
The American Opportunity Tax Credit modifies the existing Hope Credit for tax years 2009 2012 under ARRA. The credit was extended to apply for tax years 2011 and 2012 by the Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2010.
The new credit makes the Hope Credit available to a broader range of taxpayers, including many with higher incomes and those who owe no tax. It also adds required course materials to the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for four post-secondary education years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maximum annual credit of $2,500 per student.
The full credit is available to individuals whose modified adjusted gross income is $80,000 or less, or $160,000 or less for married couples filing a joint return. The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above these levels. These income limits are higher than under the existing Hope and Lifetime Learning Credits.
Qualified Expenses
Qualified expenses include tuition and fees required for enrollment or attendance at an accredited college, university, vocational school, or other postsecondary educational institution that is eligible to participate in a student aid program administered by the Department of Education.
Qualified expenses do not include room and board, insurance, transportation, or other similar personal, living, or family expenses. Qualified expenses may include fees for books, supplies, and equipment only if the fees must be paid to the school for the student's enrollment or attendance. In addition, qualified expenses may include student activity fees if the fee must be paid to the school for the student's enrollment or attendance.
Note: If you pay qualified education expenses with certain tax-free funds (GI Bill, Pell grants, military tuition assistance, employer-provided assistance), you cannot claim a credit for those amounts. You may only claim expenses that are not covered or exceed the amount of tax-free assistance you received.
Education Credit Eligibility
You can claim a Hope Credit only for an "eligible student." An "eligible student" is a student who:
You can claim a Hope Credit for only two tax years for each eligible student. An eligible student can be you, your spouse, or your dependent for whom you claim an exemption.
The Lifetime Learning Credit is not based on the student's workload. It is allowed for one or more courses that the student takes at an eligible educational institution. The credit is not limited to students in the first two years of postsecondary education. Expenses for graduate level degree work are eligible. However, to be eligible for the credit, the student must be taking course work in order to acquire or improve job skills. There is no limit on the number of tax years for which the Lifetime Learning credit can be claimed for each student. The amount you can claim as a credit does not vary (i.e., increase) based on the number of students for whom you pay qualified expenses.
Both the Hope Credit and Lifetime Learning Credit may be reduced if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is between $47,000 and $57,000 ($94,000 and $114,000 if you file a joint return). You may not cliam a credit if your MAGI exceeds $57,000 ($114,000 if you file a joint return). You cannot claim either credit if you are married filing a separate return.
Claiming Your Education Credit
You claim the Hope credit by completing Parts I and III of Form 8863 (PDF) and submitting it with your Form 1040 or 1040A. Enter the credit on Form 1040, line 49, or on Form 1040A, line 31.
For additional information on education credits, refer to Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education. You can also download a copy of the IRS Publication 970 in PDF format.

I first learned about the Japanese tradition of Cherry Blossom festivals, or Hanami, during an undergraduate course in the philosophy of aesthetics. I heard about how everyone would take time out from their busy schedules to sit under the trees and immerse themselves in the beauty of the pink blossoms. We discussed how the beauty of the blossoms has as much to do with their fleeting presence as to do with their exquisite appearance. This awareness of the transience of the blossoms themselves and the happiness we derive from their splendor is described in the Japanese aesthetic term "Mono no aware" or "an empathy toward things". This is an enduring concept in Japanese cultural and aesthetic traditions.
I have always looked forward to and admired the Cherry Blossom season, which is particularly rich in Vancouver thanks to many trees received as gifts from Japan. My parents have a cherry blossom tree that for years served as an exceptional climbing tree and a fortress of sorts. I remember climbing it while it was in bloom, and how I could be completely concealed within the cloud of soft blossoms. Now, every year the first budding cherry trees fill me with anticipation for when warmer, sunnier days will slowly but steadily start to beat back the gray damp walks to and from the Skytrain on my daily commute. I know that the cherry trees will only bloom for a short time, and by the time they are gone, I will be enjoying the warmth of the sun on my skin once again!
Until I learned about the Japanese traditions surrounding this season, I had never really considered how brief a time we really have to enjoy these particularly pretty trees in the span of a year. Learning more about the aesthetic and philosophical traditions surrounding the trees deepened my appreciation of these natural art forms. I can't help but consider how their slow emergence, or sometimes sudden appearance, transform a familiar landscape much the same way a piece of public art can change the experience of a familiar place.
The fluffy blossoms spanning every shade between fuchsia and white are even more moving when grouped together. There are countless streets lined with the blossoms and the VCBF website has 900 suggestions of places to visit and walks to take to appreciate the blossoms in all their glory. They even include updates of when a particularly popular area is no longer in bloom so that you don't end up disappointed.
My particular favourite spot is one I visit 5 times a week, twice a day. The entrance to Burrard Sky Train station is a tiered garden lined with rows of cherry blossoms and Magnolias. On nice days, the sun shines through the blossoms illuminating them like a forest of lights! As the buds continue to multiply, so do the number of people who stop to take photos, or simply to sit beneath them and bask in their magnificence for a while. I highly suggest you do the same. It is simply breathtaking. It is one of the best art shows of the year.

Fleets and Facilities Department Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy 1% for Art
A large boulder etched with abstract lines evoking water ripples forms the focal point of Call and Response, a sculptural installation on the plaza of Fire Station 10. Natural stone inlays set into the plaza are reminiscent of designs from Asian art and a nod to the station's location at the edge of the Chinatown-International District, home to Seattle's original Asian immigrants. The shapes of the inlays reflect the arc of a steel, laser-cut "water spray" sculpture, which depicts a firefighter wielding a hose.
Stuart Nakamura writes: "Call and Response pays tribute to the service and valor of the firefighters of Fire Station 10 with these three elements: a stainless steel arc of water containing the imagery of smoke and a firefighter; a rough-hewn, moss-covered granite boulder; and inlaid arcs of natural stone. Known in the Seattle Fire Department as 'The Rock,' Fire Station 10 continues the historic tradition of protecting the downtown and International District communities with its response to emergency calls."
In 2003, voters approved a $167 million Fire Facilities and Emergency Response Levy to build 12 replacement fire stations and seismically upgrade the remaining 19 stations. The Office of Arts & Culture, working with the Fleets and Facilities Department and the Seattle Fire Department developed a program to incorporate site-specific art at Seattle's new neighborhood fire stations. Call and Response is one of three artworks at Fire Station 10, for which Gloria Bornstein wrote an art plan, Different Voices, One Community.

Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): You were hoping to have a smooth transition from Holland to Kansas City but I heard you had some troubles in that department. What happened?
Marloes Coenen: Oh it was really awful! Now I'm in Kansas City so I'm happy but it started the day we left. We made it to the airport, we were on a train in New York and on the runway ready to take off to Kansas but we got deplaned and we were the only flight that got cancelled. We decided to get a hotel and it was a really bad hotel. The next day we had a flight at 5 o'clock but it got cancelled and we had to go to a new airport for a flight at 7 o'clock but that one was cancelled too. Then we ended up getting delayed until 9:45 pm and finally got in late last night. Now, the sun is shining here in Kansas and Invicta is great.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): Okay, I've got a few fan questions for you. The first is, do you have any tricks to help you deal with pre-fight nerves especially before huge fights like Saturday night's rematch against Cyborg?
Marloes Coenen: Well it's simple. I compete in MMA because I like doing it. I started with amateur jiu-jitsu competitions and kept progressing all the way up to where I am now. The way I see it, if you aren't doing what you love to do then that's when you get the nerves. I don't get the nerves because I'm legitimately excited to be in there and to compete. To me, no matter who I'm facing, I'm having fun.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): You've been very outspoken about all the work you've put in with your strength and conditioning for this upcoming fight against Cyborg. Does that mean you're officially done with 135 pounds?
Marloes Coenen: No, no, no, no. Not at all. I just think I'm a better fighter at 145 and that's why I like fighting there. I made 135 three times. The first time I made it I was feeling really good and it was a good fight. The second time I made it was harder and the third time I was fainting half the week. I did a lot of traveling and didn't recover and when I was supposed to rest I was dieting again. I can make 135 but I need a rigorous series of dieting and professionals around me so I can be strong in the ring as well.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): I've seen some videos of you working diligently with your strength and conditioning. How much stronger do you think you'll be against Cyborg on Saturday than you were the first time you fought her?
Marloes Coenen: I'm still kind of amazed at how I look right now. After training, when you get out of the shower, you look up and see yourself and I'm like, "Is that me?" I'm a lot stronger than I ever have been. I always thought I was naturally strong because my grandmother was a very strong woman but I never did such a professional strength and conditioning program like I've been doing. Before I don't think I did it hard enough or that good because I did it by myself all the time. Now, with Martin, he trains the guys and the girls and it's fun because I'm not he only one and I think it's a big difference right now.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): I know it's rude to ask a woman about their weight, but you mentioned eating breakfast on the day of weigh-ins the last time you fought Cyborg. With all this work you've put in, how much heavier do you think you'll be when you step into the cage against her this time?
Marloes Coenen: (laughs) I don't know what my weight is right now, but I think I'll be at least 10 pounds heavier. I was always exhausted before, not dieting and I just lost a lot of weight naturally from training back then so I weighed 145 naturally. Now, the muscles have replaced the fat and I'm going to be much bigger and stronger and that makes me happy.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): While many are bringing up your first fight against each other, you both recently fought the same opponent in your last fights. How would you compare your performance against Fiona Muxlow against Cyborg's?
Marloes Coenen: Well I did win 10 seconds earlier than Cyborg so that was nice. Cyborg did what she always does which is what she does very effectively. I wanted to do the same thing and go in there and get the KO. My trainers told me I had to take it to the ground so I did. We did some drills for that. I ended up in guard again and got the armbar. My stand-up has improved definitely.
Brian Hemminger (MMAmania.com): It looked like Cyborg was slowing down quite a bit against Muxlow despite the dominant striking performance, perhaps because she was trying to hard to finish the fight. Do you think conditioning will be a big factor on Saturday night?
Marloes Coenen: I do. Fiona told me the day after that Cyborg was breathing very heavily. But again, when she was fighting me she was also breathing heavy in the first round. When you have so many muscles on your body, you can get exhausted. I think conditioning will be very big in this fight. Stamina is key.

I'd never meet anyone from Tishomingo before. Turns out this versatile lady, Tina Zimmerman, hails from a small Oklahoma town which, at a population of 3500, bears a striking resemblance to Old Summerville, in the days when we had our first tourism surge. Tishomingo, which is named for the Chickasaw Indian Chief, was founded in 1852, seven years after Summerville's incorporation. Her home town was originally a camp site because of its springs. Summerville began as a camp site because of pine trees. Both towns were – and are – known for attracting visitors because of natural beauty.
Tina tells me Tishomingo is a small charming place with a rich history and close, caring people. This is a major reason why, when she came here, she thought "moving away from my family almost killed me and I knew the only way I was going to be happy here was if this was my new small town home." Accordingly she volunteered for the Junior Service League as well as at her children's' schools and got busy with her neighborhood association. She came to love our town and now – through a bit of serendipity –coordinates Tourism for the Greater Summerville/Dorchester County Chamber of Commerce.
She's been here 14 years, but didn't come directly from Tishomingo. After college, she met her husband Phil in Dallas where they both worked for an aerospace company. "Mine was an office job with numbers and pricing and it wasn't my thing." So she quit and became a stay-at-home mom for 19 years. When Phil's aerospace career brought him to this area and as their kids, Dylan and Hanna, now both at USC, grew older, she became a partner in Southern Graces, a catering service, but stopped that "wonderful but exhausting" enterprise when her kids got into high school. Then about three years ago she heard about an opening at the Visitor Center front desk, three days a week. That was perfect as she could handle that work schedule and continue to volunteer.
Enter serendipity. The then tourism coordinator left her position about three months later and Tina says she "kind of got selected." She also says she took to the work immediately and "thank goodness for Nancyjean (Nettles) and Rita (Berry, Chamber board chairman, and President and CEO, respectively). who trained me quickly." From the first, she loved the creativeness of the job.
Tina's strengths include affability, curiosity, and the skill to search for and find solutions. She has steered the Chamber's "Birthplace of Sweet Tea" and "Sweet Tea Trail" tourism initiatives. She heads up a Trolley Task Force, investigating obtaining an appropriate vehicle for the proposed Sweet Tea Trolley Tours and is looking into getting historic homes on tour. Both these ideas are to augment the "Birthplace" and the "Trail" by offering more local attractions, thus encouraging the usual half-day visitors to stay at least overnight. She has the ability – no doubt, partly because of her obvious enthusiasm for the job – to ask for and get help.
"I wasn't born here but I like it because there is that sense that we're proud of our town. I am proud of the town's many strengths, such as our former mayor's four-decade tenure and our football coach's half century on the job. I love that and I take ownership of it – that's my town!"
All of this surely also makes her "The Girl from Summerville."

We recently put together our list of the best Windows apps, but students have different requirements for getting things done. For everyone gearing up for a semester of college, we've put together a list of the best Windows apps for students.
ResophNotes and Evernote
ResophNotes is a fantastic Simplenote client on Windows. Simplenote is a great way to keep all your class notes synchronized and stored in one place so you always have access to them. Evernote is an excellent resource for students to capture everything they have going on in class. If you need a little inspiration for how to use Evernote, Shep McAllister's guest post on the Evernote blog outlines a lot of ways you can use Evernote in school, including taking snapshots of notes, blackboards, organizing research, and more.
What we really like about Wunderlist as a to-do app is that it syncs across multiple devices, and it's incredibly easy to use. If you want to keep it simple, you can, but if you want to create complicated task lists for various classes, you can do that as well. Another handy feature for students is the ability to share your task lists with others. This should help make group projects less of a crapshoot.
Get Organized
If you're looking for one place to drop all your assignments, events, and keep track of your grades, then Get Organized is the app for you. It's simple, and not especially pretty, but it gets the job done.
Kindle for Windows
Carrying around textbooks is a huge hassle. Instead, provided your books are available digitally, you can just carry around your computer and access them on your PC. The Kindle app is also a great way to highlight, take notes, and share those notes with other classmates.
Not long ago, students were stuck with Microsoft Office for their office suite, but now that Google Docs has offline editing it's a perfect replacement to Office for most students. The best part is the fact that it's free, but it also has pretty much everything you need: spreadsheets, presentations, and a document editor. It also stores you documents in the cloud so you never to worry about the horrible just-lost-my-paper panic.
We mention Dropbox in our annual Lifehacker Packs, but it's worth noting again for students. Not only is Dropbox a handy place to store all your files, it can also be a lifesaver when you realize you forgot to bring in an assignment. Simply pop into Dropbox, and email the link directly to your professor from any computer.
You'll likely have a lot of PDFs to read at school, so you'll need a solid PDF reader. We like SumatraPDF because it's free, simple, and does everything you need it to without being a bulky piece of software.
Internet and Communication
Chrome's a great choice for students because it syncs all your settings, browser history, and your extensions. This makes it easy to keep your school laptop synced up with your desktop at home and your browser on your smartphone. Power users can get a lot of Chrome, so when you're not busy writing papers, you'll have plenty more to do.
Instead of wasting your money on SMS messages for your phone, an easy way to save a little cash in school is to use an instant messaging client. The bonus is that if you're using it on your computer your professor probably won't even realize you're not paying attention.
Whether you just miss your parents, or you want a cheap and free way to talk to friends at other schools, Skype is one of the easiest video chat clients to use. It's also a way to phone-ify your computer so you don't have to worry about an annoying cell phone bill.
The Extended Pack
You have an abundance of choices for streaming music on your computer, but we're fans of Spotify for its massive collection of songs, and its free radio apps on mobile. Rdio is also worth looking at if Spotify doesn't fit your needs. The point is, with streaming apps you don't have to worry about trying to afford music throughout your college career. Plus, students get a discount on Spotify's premium subscription, so you can stream to all your devices for just $5.
While we generally prefer Google Docs for creating and editing your own documents, that doesn't mean everyone else does. Just to be safe, it's not bad to have an Office suite on your computer, and LibreOffice is nice to have around in case you can't access Google Docs. It's also helpful for when you need advanced formatting options for certain types of assignments. Plus, it does just about everything Microsoft Office does.
Keeping track of research can get really complicated, especially when you're working with a bunch of different documents from your library. Mendeley is an organization tool that helps you keep track of all those PDF files. It also lets you annotate and generates citations on the spot.
If you're looking for more great apps for your Windows machine beyond what's in our student pack, head to the Lifehacker Pack for Windows.

Gmail's transition to labels-that-look-and-act-like-folders is finished: you can now use drag-and-drop to label messages. Labels no longer live in their own container and they're displayed below the built-in labels: inbox, spam, trash, etc.
To make room for other features, Gmail only displays the most frequently used labels and hides the other labels behind a "more" dropdown. The list of labels is now customizable: you can hide built-in labels and some of your labels, while changing their order. If you rarely check the "spam" label or you don't save drafts, you can hide the system labels from the settings page.
"You now have control over which of your labels show. We've done our best to get you started by automatically showing the labels you use most and hiding the rest. Label hiding is my favorite new feature, since it saves me from having to look through labels I rarely use. If I ever need to reach any of my old labels, I just click the "more" link," says Damian Gajda, from Google.
I don't see the new features in my Gmail accounts, but Google promises that the changes are rolled out today.
Update: Google wants to make labels more visible. If you didn't create labels, Gmail will add four labels for you: Personal, Receipts, Travel and Work. "When I joined the Gmail team, I was surprised to learn that only 29% of Gmail users had created any labels. We realized that if you didn't know about labels, it would be easy to assume Gmail had no way to organize your mail. Not only were "labels" unfamiliar, they were kind of hidden," explains Michael Leggett.

- Die "Krankheit der Könige" verstehen und behandeln : am Frankfurter Hämophilie-Zentrum sind Forschung und Therapie eng verzahnt (2010)
- Heavy ions and X-rays in brain tumor treatment : a comparison of their biological effects on tissue slice cultures (2009)
- Background: In this interdisciplinary project, the biological effects of heavy ions are compared to those of X-rays using tissue slice culture preparations from rodents and humans. Advantages of this biological model are the conservation of an organotypic environment and the independency from genetic immortalization strategies used to generate cell lines. Its open access allows easy treatment and observation via live-imaging microscopy. Materials and methods: Rat brains and human brain tumor tissue are cut into 300 micro m thick tissue slices. These slices are cultivated using a membrane-based culture system and kept in an incubator at 37°C until treatment. The slices are treated with X-rays at the radiation facility of the University Hospital in Frankfurt at doses of up to 40 Gy. The heavy ion irradiations were performed at the UNILAC facility at GSI with different ions of 11.4 A MeV and fluences ranging from 0.5–10 x 106 particles/cm². Using 3D-confocal microscopy, cell-death and immune cell activation of the irradiated slices are analyzed. Planning of the irradiation experiments is done with simulation programs developed at GSI and FIAS. Results: After receiving a single application of either X-rays or heavy ions, slices were kept in culture for up to 9d post irradiation. DNA damage was visualized using gamma H2AXstaining. Here, a dose-dependent increase and time-dependent decrease could clearly be observed for the X-ray irradiation. Slices irradiated with heavy ions showed less gamma H2AX-positive cells distributed evenly throughout the slice, even though particles were calculated to penetrate only 90–100 micro m into the slice. Conclusions: Single irradiations of brain tissue, even at high doses of 40 Gy, will result neither in tissue damage visible on a macroscopic level nor necrosis. This is in line with the view that the brain is highly radio-resistant. However, DNA damage can be detected very well in tissue slices using gamma H2AX-immuno staining. Thus, slice cultures are an excellent tool to study radiation-induced damage and repair mechanisms in living tissues.
- Taurolidine reduces the tumor stimulating cytokine interleukin-1beta in patients with resectable gastrointestinal cancer : a multicentre prospective randomized trial (2009)
- Background The effect of additional treatment strategies with antineoplastic agents on intraperitoneal tumor stimulating interleukin levels are unclear. Taurolidine and Povidone-iodine have been mainly used for abdominal lavage in Germany and Europe. Methods In the settings of a multicentre (three University Hospitals) prospective randomized controlled trial 120 patients were randomly allocated to receive either 0.5% taurolidine/2,500 IU heparin (TRD) or 0.25% povidone-iodine (control) intraperitoneally for resectable colorectal, gastric or pancreatic cancers. Due to the fact that IL-1beta (produced by macrophages) is preoperatively indifferent in various gastrointestinal cancer types our major outcome criterion was the perioperative (overall) level of IL-1beta in peritoneal fluid. Results Cytokine values were significantly lower after TRD lavage for IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-10. Perioperative complications did not differ. The median follow-up was 50.0 months. The overall mortality rate (28 vs. 25, p = 0.36), the cancer-related death rate (17 vs. 19, p = .2), the local recurrence rate (7 vs. 12, p = .16), the distant metastasis rate (13 vs. 18, p = 0.2) as well as the time to relapse were not statistically significant different. Conclusion Reduced cytokine levels might explain a short term antitumorigenic intraperitoneal effect of TRD. But, this study analyzed different types of cancer. Therefore, we set up a multicentre randomized trial in patients undergoing curative colorectal cancer resection. Trial registration : ISRCTN66478538

LEXINGTON, Mich. — Carol Connell remembers well the gift she gave Sara Ylen, a friend seemingly forced to bear too much misery. Ylen, a Michigan mother of two young boys, said she was battling cancer just a few years after a man was convicted of her rape.
"It was a little box, a very ornate box, to hold a prayer. She needed God to look over her," Connell said, recalling the 2008 lunch when she gave Ylen the jewelry. "Sara was visibly touched."
Connell now can't help but wonder whether Ylen was showing gratitude or simply perpetuating years of jaw-dropping deceit.
Ylen's community, which had come to admire her as the subject of a newspaper's award-winning 2003 series about surviving a rape, rallied when her cancer diagnosis became public. Churches sold Super Bowl sub sandwiches and auction items to raise money. Friends cut her grass, bathed her at her modest home and provided hot meals. An insurance company paid nearly $100,000 for hospice care.
Now the 38-year-old is charged with fraud, false pretenses and using a computer to commit a crime after state police found no doctor who diagnosed cancer. The charges come as those who regularly helped Ylen reel from the news that the man who spent nearly 10 years in prison for her rape was released last year, after newly discovered evidence cast doubt on whether she'd ever been attacked.
"The fact that she's lived this long is a miracle. But maybe it wasn't a miracle after all. ... I'm just baffled. Is she the biggest con artist in the state of Michigan or the victim?" Connell said.
The fraud case isn't Ylen's only concern. In a neighboring county, she is charged with making a false report of rape just last year, even using makeup to create bruises.
Ylen and her attorney, Dave Heyboer, have not returned phone messages seeking comment. The Associated Press went to a Lexington address listed in court documents, but she no longer lives there.
The two cases against Ylen come years after she first emerged in the public eye in the Port Huron area, 60 miles northeast of Detroit.
In 2002, Ylen told police she had been raped in broad daylight in a Meijer store parking lot more than a year earlier.
There was no surveillance video, physical evidence or witnesses. James Grissom, an off-duty Meijer employee with a past sex-related conviction, was charged after Ylen said her attacker, like Grissom, had a skull tattoo. He was found guilty in 2003 and sentenced to at least 15 years in prison, an enhanced punishment because Ylen said her attacker gave her a sexually transmitted disease.
