Chile and grass were topics at annual Plant Material Center's field day
The cool morning air and festive red canopy covering the open wagon made the tour through the fields of the Los Lunas Plant Material Center very pleasant during the annual field day earlier this month.
Visitors ranged from local gardeners to farmers, ranchers and locals who just wanted to learn and see the cultivated acres of native plants being researched.
The wagon tours took visitors to three particular plots of plant research — the prairie coneflower, big sacaton grass and chile.
Wagons left for the fields about every half hour from 8 to 11 a.m. or so.
Attendees learned interesting facts, such as that Anaheim green chiles are a New Mexico chile grown in California.
Fabian Garcia developed the germ plasm, and Gilberto Ortega took them to California, said Dr. Stephanie Walker, New Mexico State University extension vegetable specialist.
"It bothers me that California gets credit for the pod type when they did not develop it," said Walker. "Anaheim chile actually has it's root here in New Mexico. It's a New Mexico germ plasm."
Also, while chile is originally from Central South America, the long green chile was cultivated in New Mexico.
There are basically three chile industries in New Mexico, the cayenne pepper, paprika and the long green chile industries, she said.
Research is being done to cultivate a New Mexico chile that is amendable to mechanized harvest and develop a chile harvest machine to reduce the labor for the crop.
The chile candidates are the New Mexico commercial cultivars, such as Joe Parker, Big Jim and Sandia. The ideal traits include a bigger, meatier and hardy chile that machine harvest won't easily break, yet also a chile that is easily de-stemmed. The desired plants would also grow their fruit on the outside as opposed to bunched at the top or within the foliage close to the stem.
Research is also being done to develop a chile that is naturally resistant to plant diseases and pests commonly found in New Mexico. These include curly top virus, spread by beet leafhoppers, and chile wilt, which is caused by fungal diseases. Drip irrigation can help alleviate some soil diseases.
Blossom end rot is typically a calcium deficiency, Walker said, but usually New Mexico soils aren't calcium deficient. It's caused by drought stress when the plant is first flowering and setting fruit. Making sure the plant has plenty of water at that critical time can curb this problem, but not eliminate it altogether, because the dry heat in the state is hard for plants to bear, Walker said.
Other research being conducted includes the different characteristics of the New Mexico Landrace varieties of chile peppers, which are genetically very distinct from the southern varieties, she said.
"The Landrace chiles basically have been bred the traditional way by families in Northern New Mexico for many, many generations," Walker said. "And of course, Chimayó is the most famous.
"It looks like a long time ago, families obtained chile seed up there, and then generation after generation, selected for attributes that they liked and for plants that were well adapted to Northern New Mexico."
Walker fears these chile seeds will be lost by the commercial breeds being grown in the area, so NMSU and the Plant Material Center are working to preserve the Chimayó, Escondida, Cochiti, Zuni and other varieties of Landrace chiles.
Charles Havlik, a senior research assistant at the center, lived in northern New Mexico and has some associates that have saved seed in their families for generations.
He is working toward a master's degree in horticulture, and his master's project is his research in Landrace chiles.
"Chuck has shown in his work that the different varieties have very distinct heat levels, distinct wall thickness, yield is certainly an issue," Walker said "For the most part, most of these varieties tend to be smaller fruited and thinner walled than the commercial varieties I'm working with for machine harvest. They tend to be hotter, some of them are very, very hot, and some are almost mild. It's kind of based on the taste of that community and what they selected."
The center's agronomist, Danny Goodson, gave a presentation at a plot of big sacaton bunch grass, a native warm season, perennial grass.
"We finally were able to release this as a variety back in 2010," Goodson said. "The name is 'windbreaker,' and if you think about it, that name kind of gives it away as what we're using it for now."
Windbreaker is an excellent wind-break to protect row crops and prevent soil erosion.
"It's a good species for wind strip situations," Goodson said.
The center began collecting this grass back in the 1980s, and made selections for the best of them. The released variety is a combination of 10 different varieties grown throughout New Mexico and Texas, he said.
Originally, their research was for a pasture grass as a niche grass when the cool season grasses quit growing. As a forage, it is tastiest to livestock before the plant matures, so it requires close management to keep it grazed low.
As a mature plant, it can be baled for a low protein hay or used as a mulch. It is also used as an ornamental plant, especially in low-water landscapes and xeriscape gardens.
The plant grows largest when the spacing between plants is five to six feet, Goodson said.
He suggested using transplants, watering regularly when first getting it started, and planted at elevations below 6,800 feet.
Windbreaker would also be good for alleviating dust storms across highways.
The center is now looking at the species as a potential bioenergy crop, because of its huge forage production, he said.
At the plot of prairie coneflower, Gregory Fenchel, agronomist and PMC manager, explained that prairie coneflower is an inexpensive way to control roadside soil erosion.
In range rehabilitation, coneflower can help attain a more diverse native plant community, because it is a pioneer species.
Pioneer species are the first to colonize previously disrupted or damaged rangelands, beginning a chain of ecological restoration.
The young plants are nutritious and palatable to livestock and big game animals.
The Plant Materials Center is a division of the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, and has developed more than 30 improved conservation plants.
Major conservation concerns include erosion and sediment control, range production and improvement, riparian restoration, and abandoned cropland re-vegetation.
The Plant Material Center is located at 1036 Miller Street SW, off of N.M. 314. For more information, call 865-4684, and Dr. Stephanie Walker can be reached through her email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

if you had 10 children that you fed and raised would you just give one to the bear? Wheres the compassion for the llama? The thing was clawed at and damaged, not much longer and it surely would have died a grotesque death.
to respond and answer your question... the wool is used
A smart bear would know it is better to eat berries that do not try to run away from it then to try and first kill a llama then eat it. This bear was stupid and messed with the wrong living object. What if the llama was a kid? Should the bear be slapped on the wrist, turned around to go back into the woods and left to go attack again? This llama could have easily been a goat, dog, sheep, rooster, or any pet, heck it could have easily been a child, what is it going to take to realize that?
great post, seems the bear lovers always take the day off when a real bear attack occurs.
why? The article has facts within it, It only appears one sided because it was such a drastic event, a bear attacks a llama and a woman tried to protect her llama, bears are supposed to fear humans, they do not obviously and this one paid the ultimate price. There is a bear problem in NJ, whats it going to take to realize it? A kid instead of a llama, how about a bear lover getting attacked? It wont matter, a complete mauling would have to occur to wake these people up.
To me the article title says the llama and owner of the llama were both recovering after the bear attack, the llama was physically attacked and the owner is recovering from the traumatic sequence of events.
I disagree, moral of the story is that bears have lost their fear of humans and it needs to be re instilled.
wait you said it is "in their nature" it is in a bears nature to attack a llama? Since when? Bears are supposed to be in the woods eating berries, but now since they lost their fear of humans they come attack llamas, this is absolutely not "in their nature" go read a book you people who think you know everything make me sick.
You said, "This lady is a cukoo ! Tough ? She had a hissy fit ? kicked a dead bear ? c'mon. "
You must be joking right? You also said the bear was innocent, you are wrong, the bear was attacking and destroying property, some of this property may be used as an income for the person who owned the llama. Please do not glorify the bears. Did you even read the article, this was one of the most aggressive bears the person has seen. Obviously the bear presented a problem other wise the law would not have killed it. Bears are a problem, please stop trying to say the bears were here first and they deserve to live.... why no compassion for the llama?
This makes the legit hunters look like crap, this is a sad and tragic story. These poachers should be fined and punished to the highest extent possible.
I agree with you 100%, this makes the legit hunters look horrible.
I voted yes, I do not mind working in the back yard no more.
I feel activists are revolting, wishing that humans would be killed instead of the bears... do you not find that revolting?

Preliminary Sketch - Landscape Garden Plan, W. van Dok, Hand Drawn, Glen Waverley, 1999 Reg. No: HT 21896
- Summary:
- This preliminary sketch of a water efficent, drought tolerant domestic garden design; hand drafted by Wendy van Dok in 1999. The plan was produced by Wendy during her participation in a landscape design course at Holmesglen TAFE in 1998 and 1999. The donor used this plan for the redesign of her own garden. Wendy van Dok's gardem was featured in the Museum's 'Water Smart Home project'.
- Description:
- Paper based A3 sized plan. Hand drawn plan comprising images and annotations. Coloured pencil and ink.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This landscape garden plan is practical and personal response to water scarcity and its impact on Australian gardens and their cultural value. The donor's plan highlights how an awareness of environmental concerns and issues can be reflected in landscape design. The plan is historically significant in that it is representative of the value of gardens in Australian culture and how this has had to be rethought and renegotiated in light of increasing water scarcity. The plan is hand drafted which is also significant as the majority of this type of landscape planning and design is now computer aided.
After the completion of this plan and its practical implementation the donor established a landscape design business called Water Efficient Garden Scapes. The business was in operation for approximately five years. The water sensitive landscape design business was motivated by a desire to reconnect people to nature in an urban context and to bring wildlife back into urban gardens. This plan was the donor's first water sensitive garden and is significant as it also represents the beginning of her commercial venture.
This landscape garden plan is extremely applicable to the Water Smart Home Project and broader issues of sustainability. The plan is directly connected to a story featured on the Water Smart Home website. It is also representative of responses to environmental issues and to water conservation in a domestic context.

Preparing students to thrive in a world of constant change is at the heart of a Hun School education. Not only are students taught to explore academic theories and to communicate thoughts concisely, they are guided to use their voices to establish educated opinions and lead. Leadership takes many forms at The Hun School, and student leadership opportunities are everywhere.
In the classroom students express their ideas, persuading one another to see beyond their individual scope. On the fields of competition, athletes encourage those around them to focus their abilities and energies to achieve greatness as a team. In the performing arts, students direct productions, symphonies, and choirs, bringing together the talents of many to create art.
These opportunities help students develop skills in communication, collaboration, time management, prioritization, and planning. Sufficient breadth and variety within those roles helps The Hun School maintain its valued culture of diversity, student empowerment, and impassioned participation.
The measure of any School program is in the voice it provides students to help shape it. Student leadership is not only about opportunity, but a responsibility to contribute. Students are not just receivers of information, but participants in the community.
Ryan Hews, head of Upper School
The measure of any School program is in the voice it provides students to help shape it. Student leadership is not only about opportunity, but a responsibility to contribute. Students are not just receivers of information, but participants in the community.
Student Government Links:
The Hun School's Student Government wrote its own Constitution in November, 2011. With a student-elected Senate, House of Advisory, and Executive Board, The Hun School's Student Government brings together the voices and energies of ninety-one students to help shape the student experience at The Hun School. Members of Student Government address the needs and desires of the student body. They seek first to understand how the School might function better and secondly to assure that it can.
Proctors are student leaders in the Resident Life community. They are invaluable student resources in campus-life. They help new students adjust to life away from home, act as liaisons between students and faculty in the dormitories, and are responsible for helping to develop weekend programs.
Patrick Quirk
Students of the freshman and sophomore classes are required to take a semester-long seminar. The seminar series of classes introduces and cultivates interdisciplinary skills such as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking as well as enforces the standards and expectations of academic rigor and community participation. Leadership and community education continues through the years at The Hun School as Student Deans and Advisory Groups organize thematic grade-level opportunities at every grade level. Opportunities range from important adolescent discussions to teamwork building scavenger hunts.
Through the generous support of the Aidekman family, The Hun School of Princeton is endowed with a gift that will benefit leadership training and education for generations of Hun School student leaders. Curriculum development, training programs, and mentorship drive The Hun School's work in preparing students to lead.

Program Authorization: La. Constitution, Article X, Part II, Section 16-20; Louisiana Revised Statutes 33:2471 et seq. and 33:2531 et seq.
The mission of the Administration Program is to administer an effective, cost-efficient civil service system based on merit, efficiency, fitness, and length of service, consistent with the law and professional standards, for firefighters and police officers in all municipalities in the state having populations of not less than 7,000 nor more than 400,000 inhabitants, and in all parish fire departments and fire protection districts regardless of population, in order to provide a continuity in quality in law enforcement and fire protection for citizens of the state in both rural and urban areas.
The goals of the Administration Program are:
1. Administer tests of fitness for original entrance and promotion to applicants for positions in the municipalities or fire protection districts, score the tests, and furnish the results to the board for which the tests are given.
2. Provide an orderly system of personnel management for each fire and police department to which the system applies by providing each local board a classification plan appropriate for that jurisdiction to facilitate the proper allocation of each position with the classified service, as well as ensuring that all personnel actions are within the framework of the law so that such actions as necessary may be taken when deficiencies are noted.
3. Provide for the overall administration of the statewide Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service System by responding to requests for assistance concerning the operation of the system and providing advice and guidance as necessary to an anticipated 95-100 local civil service boards, along with the respective appointing authorities, departmental chiefs, governing bodies, and employees within the system.
The Administration Program includes the following activities: Administration, Personnel Management and Classification, and Test Development and Research.
The Administration activity provides oversight and management of the testing function; oversees the test validation process to ensure compliance with professional standards; provide advice and guidance to the local civil service boards and local officials on the scheduling and administration of examinations, and personnel management functions as they relate to American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accommodations; and reviews examination analysis and approves final grades.
The Personnel Management and Classification activity conducts job analyses and develops examination plans based upon local job analysis information; works with local boards in developing classification descriptions and qualification requirements; reviews persons reported as eligible on roll call for promotional examinations; and tracks needed personnel management documentation from local boards pertaining to test administration and applicant eligibility.
The Test Development and Research activity constructs or modifies test items according to professional standards and from recognized sources; prepares written examinations and assessment center job stimulations from examinations plans; develops study guide material for local distribution; conducts major validation projects for examinations developed for multijurisdictional use; administers examinations in local jurisdictions, and, when requested, with ADA accommodations; participates in examination review and analysis in the exam grading process; and evaluates performance on job simulation exercises according to established benchmarks.
1. In FY 1998-99, the Administration Program will ensure that all examinations administered are validated in accordance with professional and legal standards for the jurisdictions for which they are administered.
1 This figure assumes that no theft of examinations will occur.
2 This increase in the number of legal challenges is based upon the lack of a criterion validation study for the Firefighter examination and the agency's inability to provide proactive staff training without additional funding.
2. In FY 1998-99, the Administration Program will administer examinations within 90 days from receipt of exam request to the administration of the examination and will return grades to local civil service boards within 30 days of examination date.
3. In FY 1998-99, the Administration Program will evaluate accommodations requested under the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), restructure or translate examination as required, and provide for adequate testing atmosphere so as to not disadvantage qualified applicants with disabilities.
4. In FY 1998-99, the Administration Program will maintain a uniform and comprehensive classification plan within each department for all jurisdictions.
5. In FY 1998-99, the Administration Program will advise local boards when personnel actions are not appropriate or in compliance with civil service laws.
6. In FY 1998-99, the Administration Program will provide efficient assistance to boards, appointing authorities, department officers, and classified employees of municipalities regarding the duties and obligations imposed upon them by R.S. 33:2471 et seq. and R.S. 33.2531 et seq.
7. In FY 1998-99, the Administration Program will encourage employee training in the classified service.
This program is funded with statutory dedications derived from "two hundredths of one percent of the gross direct insurance premiums received in the state, in the preceding year, by insurers doing business in the state." (Per R.S. 39:32B.(8), see table below for a listing of expenditures out of each statutory dedicated fund.)
Non-Recurring Adjustment(s) for psychologist and information services
Adjustment(s) for Civil Service, Training and Other Statewide Interagency Transfer Activities
The total means of financing for this program is recommended at 103.2% of the existing operating budget. It represents 97.5% of the total request ($837,550) for this program. The net increase in funding is primarily due to increased funding for merits, retirement, civil service, risk management, and legislative auditor fees, which is partially offset by the removal of non-recurring expenditures for psychologist and information services.
This program does not have funding for Professional Services for Fiscal Year 1998-1999.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- A Black Hawk helicopter crash on the campus of Texas A&M has claimed a second life.
Sgt. Charles C. Mitts, 42, of Spring, Texas, died Wednesday night at Memorial Hermann Hospital, hospital spokeswoman Ann Brimberry said.
Mitts was one of five soldiers aboard the UH-60 when it crashed Monday afternoon shortly after takeoff during a routine training exercise.
Mitts, who served with the Texas Army National Guard, was deployed to Iraq from 2006 to 2007.
"Of course it's always a tough time for those that are left behind," CPT. Adam Collett said. "When we lose one of our fellow service members they do ban together, it's time like these where everyone really pulls together to support each other. "
The crash also killed 2nd Lt. Zachary Cook, 22, a recent Texas A&M graduate. The three others aboard were injured, but are listed in stable condition.
Investigators from Fort Rucker, Ala., have arrived for the inquiry into the crash.
Classes resume Tuesday following the winter break.

First phase of Durham County data center unveiled
In case of high winds, the walls and roof are reinforced. Should power fail, there are batteries and electric generators. To keep the property secure, there is a gated entrance and an eye identification scanner.
Those are some of the features of the first phase of a new data center that has opened in Durham County near the Research Triangle Park on Northeast Creek Parkway.
On Wednesday, the New York-based data center developer Sentinel Data Centers opened the doors to the new facility in a grand opening event held to showcase the building to technology and other business leaders.
"It's all about data security," said Brian Baker, the company's vice president for business development, during an interview and tour held Wednesday before the grand opening. He showed off the security features, as well as equipment designed to keep the facility running in case of outages.
The building is 420,000 square feet in total, but the company has built out 50,000 square feet of space specifically for storing computer servers. They're targeting larger companies that need to store lots of data, and also need to keep it private, as their customer base. Baker said that could include businesses that need to store health or financial data that also abide by federal privacy regulations.
The total build-out of the first phase was about 120,000 square feet, which includes the dedicated computer storage, as well as office space and rooms that house mechanical or electrical equipment.
He said they now employ more than 20 people.
He showed off one of the five long, white-colored rooms that the company wants to fill with other businesses' computer servers. His voice echoed slightly as he moved in the room, and overhead lights turned on and off with motion sensors.
The room is designed to allow cool air from the floor to be sucked into the computers, and for hot air ejected from the machines to be routed into the ceiling and cooled before it cycles back into the room.
There's also a raised floor system, he said, with concrete-reinforcements underneath that can support 5,200 pounds per tile.
Previously, the building was a window manufacturing plant. The Durham County Board of Commissioners approved an $800,000 incentive to entice the company to locate a data center in the facility in Durham County.
Durham County Commissioner Ellen Reckhow championed the project as a redevelopment of an existing, vacant building. She said the company's investment will also boost the county's tax base.
"Data centers are not going to produce a lot of jobs," she said. "I think all things being equal, taking a vacant property and putting a good reuse into it that enhances our tax base is positive for the county."
Ted Conner, vice president of economic development and community sustainability for the Greater Durham Chamber of Commerce, said it's a "great addition" to the county's tax base, and is a "real improvement" to the technology infrastructure that can serve other area businesses.
"They located the facility here in order to serve companies and organizations already based here in the Triangle, and allow companies to move forward without having to make that huge capital investment," he said. "I really look upon this as something that's going to make our community infrastructure more robust."

President Obama signaled strongly on Monday that he will fight Republican efforts to weaken the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, created last year as part of the Dodd-Frank financial-reform bill, vowing to battle both for the agency and his choice to head it, former Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray.
The president's warning was issued during his Rose Garden announcement that he is nominating Cordray to head CFPB, which is set to begin operations next week.
Declaring that "this bureau matters," Obama said he is ready to stand up to what he called "an army of lobbyists and lawyers right now working to water down the protections and the reforms that we passed" and their "allies in Congress who are trying to undo the progress that we've made. We're not going to let that happen."
He cast the new agency as a response to the financial crash of 2008, which, he said, was "not the result of normal economic cycles or just a run of bad luck." Instead, he blamed abuses and a "lack of smart regulations." He added, "We're not going to just shrug our shoulders and hope it doesn't happen again. We're not going to go back to the status quo where consumers couldn't count on getting the protections that they deserve."
Obama was joined in the Rose Garden by Cordray, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, and Elizabeth Warren, the former Harvard professor who first conceived the agency and has spent the last year setting it up. Liberals had pushed hard for Warren to be named the director, but she was strongly opposed by Republicans in Congress and was viewed by the White House as unconfirmable. The president alluded to that opposition but praised her toughness and called her "perhaps the leading voice in our country on behalf of consumers."

This is going to be one of my very rare posts that has nothing to do with geriatrics, but since this morning I found myself frantically searching Google for the info above, I've decided to share what worked for me.
Let me start by saying that I did not find the answer on Google. What I found is "If the post wasn't published, I'm afraid it's gone." I also found instructions for retrieving a published then deleted Blogger post, but those didn't work for me because I had just deleted a draft.
Here's what worked for me:
1. Start typing "blogger" in your address bar, and your browser will start proposing recent webpages that begin with www.blogger.com. You'll notice that in the long string of URLs related to your blog, there is a blogID, and also a postID.
2. Start trying to load pages with different postIDs. Assuming you looked at your draft post recently, one of the URLs will reference the postID of your deleted post. In my case, it was the highlighted post ending in 072.
3. When I found the URL of my deleted post and tried to load it, I saw my post briefly, then it turned into this:
4. You can try to capture a screenshot of your deleted draft at this point. Better to retype it all than to have to recreate from scratch. But in my case, when I clicked close on the error message, my post was fully visible on the screen.
5. Copy and paste your draft, preferably to something other than Blogger. You'll keep getting error messages if you try to save the draft page on screen though.
6. Never forget that Blogger doesn't keep deleted drafts in a trashcan for you. This strikes me as a big flaw in the design, but there it is.
Hope this information is helpful to other beginner Blogger users out there.

H. K. B. DAVIS GOLF BALL Filed Feb. 20, 1936 4; j INVENTOR @2256 Q ATTORNEY Patented Feb. 1, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.
This invention relates to improvements in golf balls and is directed more particularly to the provision of a novel surface for a golf ball.
It is one of the principal objects of the inven- 5 tion to provide a golf ball which has an outer surface formed in a novel manner so that it is possible to achieve greater distance of flight than is possible with golf balls at present used. That is to say, I have found that my new ball will travel a greaterdistance when struck with a club than will any of the golf balls now in use when struck with the same amount of force and in the same manner.
It is another object of the invention to provide a ball having a surface of such a character as to bring about greater controllability. That is to say, with my new surface construction it is possible for the player to have more control over the direction and travel-distance of the ball as well as control of the amount of back-spin, etc.
It is another object of the invention to provide a golf ball which is of usual size and material, according to the standards set by the United States Golf Association, for example, but which has the added advantage of at least appearing to be of greater size than the balls now commonly used. As is obvious, it is desirable from the players point of view, at least, that'the ball preferably be easy to see and be of such a nature as to facilitate the players keeping his eye on the ball. It is for that reason that most golf balls are painted white, for example, and it is one of the advantages of the golf ball of my invention that while it is not different than others in this respect, it is so formed as to create what may be called an optical illusion, if so. desired, so that it at least appears to the naked eye to be of greater diameter than it actually is and is therefore of course easier to hit.
Various other novel features and advantages of the invention will become more apparent after a reading of the following description of the present preferred form thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing wherein:
Fig. 1 is a plan view of the golf ball of the invention; and
Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1.
Referring now to the drawing in detail, my invention will be now fully described.
In Fig. 1 there is shown a golf ball 2 in the general form of a sphere, as is usual. The ball may be formed of various materials, of course,'and the particular internal construction of the, ball is not animportantpart. of this invention.
However, it is desirable that the ball be of more or less standard size since when the ball is to be used in oflicial tournaments, at least, certain specificationsas to size must perforce be complied with. As will presently appear, while my new 5 ball conforms to these specifications in every respect, its distinctive formation tends to render the ball easier to see so that the user thereof has the advantage over the users of the ordinary ball.
The manufacture of golf-balls has come, within the past few years, to be more 'or less of a science and much attention has been paid to the surface thereof. That is, it has been commercially necessary to construct balls which will fly as far as possible without wobbling or wavering and which at the same time may be kept under the control of the player as much as possible; that is, may be hit without skidding either on the club or on the ground and with or without back-spin, as desired.
While the internal construction of a ball is important, of course, it is also important to form the outside of the sphere so that best results may be attained since it is known that no appreciable distance can be obtained with a perfectly smooth sphere.
It is desirable therefore that the surface may be roughened in order to attainthe desired controllability and distance. This has been done by providing aplurality of spaced-apart depressions 30 in the surface. I have discovered, however, that if the depressions are too deep or not deep enough, the desired distance and proper degree of controllability can not be attainedfbut that in order to cut down air resistance as much as possible without sacrificing distance and control? lability a not-too-rough surface is preferable.
It is believed to be desirable here to refer to the formation of the golf-balls now most commonly used, namely the so-called mesh and dimpled balls. The meshball has a roughened surface formed by providing a plurality of continuous raised bands extending around the ball, some horizontally and'some'vertically, and, of course, crossing one another in the manner of a mesh so as to provide relatively depressed portions surrounded by raised portions. It is to be noted that these bands are commonly of the same width throughout their length and are crossed a number of times throughout their length by a plurality of other bands of the same width.
The so-called dimpled ball is molded into a true sphere but has a plurality of more or less equally spaced concave circular depressions thereon surrounded by;,raised portions. This ball also has 55 continuous raised bands extending both horizontally and vertically around the ball but the bands are not of the same width throughout their length since, as is obvious, the bands of the dimpled ball have outwardly curving portions extending away and around the circular indentations. In both cases the raised portions are all joined together so that the total area of the raised portions is considerable and constitutes a generally continuous raised part.
I have found that these balls tend to skid on the club and do not stop as quickly as is desirable on a back-spin shot and one reason for this appears to be the continuous bands or generally continuous raised portion. Furthermore, it has been usual to cut depressions in-these balls between .0125 and .0145 of an inch since only in this way can the desired distance, steadiness and controllability be approximated.
As will presently appear, the novel surface of my golf-ball more nearly approximates a smooth surface, to thereby cut down air resistance. At the same time the surface is roughened to provide controllability without sacrifice of steadiness or distance. I have found that with the surface construction of this invention the depressions may be as shallow as from .006 to .008 of an inch and actual tests have shown the balls to be superior to prior art balls in respect to distance and controllability and other characteristics. It is also one of the common objections of prior art golf balls that they-not only may have depressions which are too deep, but that the depressions are too angular and have sharp corners. The sharp corners are readily broken down as the ball-is used and since it is customary to either enamel or. paint the balls after molding, it will be obvious that if the corners are too sharp, the enamel. or paint is very likely to be chipped off which, of course, is objectionable.
To this end, I form the surface of the ballso that the corners of the marginal edges of the raised portions are more or less rounded, as will be described, and I have found for the most desirable results that the radii of these curvatures depend somewhat upon the depth of the adjacent depressions as well as the angle of the marginal sides of the depressions.
I accomplish these and other objects by constructing the-ball so that it has a distinctivelyformed outer surface which has, I believe, as one advantage, less wind-resistance than balls now commonly used, and which, in addition, makes it possible for the player to attain more accurate control over the balls direction when struck. It is usual to form the outer cover, at least, of a golfball by a molding process and my golf ball may be made in this way, although the resulting product is more important than the particular manner in which it is obtained.
As shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing, I provide on the surface of a sphere 2 a plurality of rows of alternately depressed and raised portions, 4 and 6 respectively. That is to say, the surface of the sphere is formed to be more or less like a checkerboard with depressed portions spaced in the manner of the red squares of a checker-board and raised portions positioned relatively thereto in the manner of the black squares.
However, as will presently appear, there are certain features of my ball which are novel over the same size as is the case with the spaces of a checker-board.
The surfaces of the prior art balls are in distinct contrast with my ball for a number of reasons.
In this case there are no continuous raised bands extending around my ball, but, instead, a continuous relatively straight path taken around the ball consists of alternate raised and depressed portions. In other words the surface is broken up to a greater extent than prior art balls.
According to this invention, the greater part of the plurality of raised and depressed portions '4 and 6 are formed to be of greater width at one end than the other. This is preferably arranged by forming the portions 4 and 6 so that they each have four sides with one pair of opposite sides of substantially equal length, but converging towards one another, and with the other pair of opposite sides of unequal length, as is obvious.
The sphere 2 is also formed to have six poles 8, all substantially equally spaced from one another, and, according to this invention, the surface of the ball is divided into six panels with each panel having one of the poles as its approximate center, as shown in Fig. 1. Then, each panel is formed to have a plurality of rows of alternately arranged raised and depressed portions above described, the rows extending radially and concentrically relative to the control pole.
For purposes of description, one panel is shown in Fig. l. Preferably a plurality of rows of adjacently-disposed raised and depressed portions 4 and 6 extend outwardly from the pole 8 of each panel towards the outer edges of the panel with their narrower sides innermost, as shown. It will be seen that extending outwardly from the outermost side of each raised portion 4, for example, is
a. depressed portionli, with the narrower side of the latter adjacent the wider side of the former. Preferably the opposite equal sides of the portions of a row are in alignment as shown.
Of course, with this arrangement, it is obvious that the areas of the portions-4 and 6 of a panel are greater farthest from the pole 8, of the panel in which they are contained, than those nearest the pole. That is, the radially extending rows just described diverge in width outwardly so that the portions are of gradually increasing size.
I have found that this effect tends to give to the ball a greater capacity for travel as well as facilitates the obtaining of a greater degree of control over the ball by the player. I also have found, particularly where the surface formation which I have just described is provided around each pole of the ball, that the ball is easier to see and is, therefore, easier to strike with a club.
Especially is this so when the player places the ball on the tee in such a way that a pole-8 is squarelyintheline of vision so that the player's eye is concentrated on a panel with'the pole 8 exactly in the center and diverging rows radially extending therefrom. It will be seen then that not only does this construction break down wind resistance and facilitate accuracy in control of the ball but it makes it easier for the player to keep his eye on the ball.
It is, of course, desirable that the ball be uniform on all sides in order to prevent wobbling. It is obvious then that since, as stated, the portions 4 and 6 are not of the same area, but of different areas, that the surface of the sphere must be divided up into several equal areas having substantially the same number of portions 4 and 6 and formation of rows. Otherwise, the ball would be out of balance and this is one of the reasons 75 why I provide what I call panels, one each around each pole 8, with the alternate .depressed and raised portions 4 and 6 of each area extending radially from the pole thereof preferably in the same manner.
Now I provide in each panel, as stated, a plurality of these rows just described extending radially of the pole and with the portions 4 and 6 thereof gradually increasing in area. These rows are adjacent to one another and are staggered relative to one another, as shown.
That is to say, the raised portions 4 of one row are opposite the depressed portions 6 of the rows on opposite sides thereof. Thus, it will be seen, there are constructed a plurality of concentric rows of alternate depressed and raised portions 4 and 6 which are disposed concentrically of the pole 8.
The areas of the portions 4 and 6 of each of these concentric rows are equal, with the areas of the outermost rows greater than the areas of the innermost rows. This concentric row formation does, I have found, tend to increase the flight of the ball and further prevents its wobbling.
As has been before mentioned, the raised and depressed portions 4 and 6 are preferably formed to have four sides, two of which are equal and two of which are unequal. With the staggered construction which has just been outlined, the raised portions 4 are all substantially surrounded by depressed portions 6 with the raised portions 4 abutting one another at their corners only.
As one feature of the invention the sides or edges of the raised portions of a panel extend radially and concentrically relative to the pole of the panel so that altogether the edges throughout the surface of the ball are disposed at various angles relative to one another and extend in many various directions. This may account for the fact that the ball is capable of great distance and has marked controllability without the depressions being of depth that might be said to be objectionable.
While I have described the invention in great detail and with respect to a preferred form thereof, it is not desired to be limited thereto since many changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. What it is desired to claim and secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. As a new article of manufacture, a golf ball consisting of a sphere formed to have on its outer surface a plurality of rows of alternately arranged relatively depressed and raised portions, said portions having four sides and the raised portions being disposed so as to abut one another at the corners thereof only.
2. As a new article of manufacture, a golf ball consisting of a sphere having a plurality of poles and formed to have on its outer surface a plurality of rows of alternate depressed and raised portions radiating outwardly fromeach pole, said portions having four sides and the rows and portions being arranged so that the raised portions abut one another at the corners thereof only.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Kim Zolciak: "Peter Can Kiss My Ass!"
After Peter Thomas insinuated that Kim Zolciak chose not to go on the trip to South Africa because of a race issue — and not because she had three children at home, including a newborn, while her husband was away at training camp for a month — Kim chose to call him out on Twitter and give him a piece of her mind.
On Sunday night Kim tweeted, "Peter is so ignorant!! Kj was 7 weeks old, I was breastfeeding and Kroy was gone at football camp! Sooo Peter can kiss my ass!!!"
According to Peter, Kim would have had no trouble leaving her kids at home if the ladies were going on a trip to Italy or another European country, and she only chose not to go on the trip because the gals were headed to Africa.
Given that Kim had a pretty full plate (to put it mildly) when the h'wives headed off on vacay, we think this is just another case of Peter sticking his foot in his mouth. Again.
When is this guy going to learn to keep his ridiculous opinions to himself?

The Parking Scenario:
Parking can be a challenge
on a good day of surf and although it may be difficult to
find a spot, on a good day, it's going to be worth it. The
main parking source for the Streets at Del Mar is street
parking. Along all of the streets on the West side of the
101 is free parking in front of the residential houses.
Because the streets are small, make sure to look around for
any one-way street signs and no parking signs. Please be
courteous and do not block any of the residents driveways.

Beach Accessibility and Conveniences:
There is beach access
located at the end of almost every street. Simply walk
toward the ocean and you are certain to be near an entry
point to the surf. Most entry ways are between homes that
are set on the beachfront.
General beach access
The beach access at 25th
There are restrooms set up
at these beach access points, not all of them but from what
we have noted, there was a restroom set up every 3rd or so
street access point. The restrooms are city maintained and
free to the public within open hours of operation.
The restrooms at 25th street
There are lifeguard
stations set up along the entire coast of Del Mar beach and
the lifeguards are set in those stations for the summer
months. During the winter months, a lifeguard may or may not
be on stage which is something you must take personal note

Virginia State Income Tax
Virginia Individual Income Tax returns must be filed annually on or before May 1; however, there is no penalty for refund returns filed after the due date. Effective with 2005 returns, taxpayers get an automatic filing extension to November 1 each year. This extension is for filing returns. Taxpayers should still pay 90% of the tax due on or before May 1 each year.
Responsibilities of the Commissioner of the Revenue's Office include reviewing and processing tax returns for Poquoson residents. Each return is reviewed for completeness and accuracy. Taxpayers are notified of any errors or omissions and allowed to correct these errors before the returns are forwarded to the Virginia Department of Taxation, which may prevent having to file an amended return later. Taxpayers whose returns are accepted by the online system usually receive their refund within 1 to 2 weeks, rather than the 3 or more weeks it takes for normal processing. Prior year and amended returns often require two or more months to process.
Do you need to file a Virginia tax return? Stop on line 9 of your Virginia form 760 and check to see if that figure falls below the following: Single $11,950; Married filing separately $11,950; Married filing jointly $23,900. If line 9 falls below the corresponding value, then you only need to file a Virginia return if you are to receive a refund.
Our staff will complete Virginia Individual Income Tax Returns for Poquoson residents who visit the office with a complete copy of their Federal Income Tax return, including W-2's and 1099's showing VA withholding. There is no charge and no appointment is necessary.
Taxpayers who have received correspondence from the Department of Taxation concerning their return may contact the Commissioner of the Revenue at (757) 868-3020 for assistance, or may call the Department of Taxation at the number indicated on their correspondence, or at (804) 367-8031.
Taxpayers who make Estimated Tax payments are required to file Form 760ES Voucher 1 annually on or before May 1 with the Commissioner of the Revenue's office. All subsequent payments for that tax year are sent to the City Treasurer and should be filed in accordance with the due date on the respective voucher.
Did You Know?
- Virginia allows a Non-Refundable Earned Income Tax Credit, equal to 20% of the Federal Credit, on the state return.
- In Virginia, taxpayers 65 and older may be eligible for a deduction of up to $12,000, $24,000 if both spouses are 65, on their state returns plus an extra $800 exemption amount.
- Virginia does not tax Social Security Benefits, so a subtraction is allowed on the state return for any taxable Social Security benefits on the Federal return.
- Virginia also does not tax Unemployment Benefits. Any taxable benefits on the Federal return are subtracted from Virginia taxable income.
- Active-duty military taxpayers who list Virginia as their state of legal residence may be eligible for a deduction of up to $15,000 on their state return.

This fall, for the first time, the nation's largest public university system will offer the option of online courses to all of its students, using digital technology to overcome pervasive space shortages in real-world classrooms.
A program revealed Wednesday by the 23-campus California State University includes more than 30 courses approved systemwide, from Elementary Astronomy to the History of Rock and Roll.
This means a student from San Francisco State can sign up for a microeconomics course taught at CSU Northridge, while students from that Southern California campus can learn all about U.S. politics from a professor who teaches in San Francisco.
"It's radical for our system," said Mike Uhlenkamp, a CSU spokesman.

CLEMSON — Clemson forward K.J. McDaniels scored a team-best 14 points and made two critical free throws tonight in the final seconds to lift Clemson to a 63-60 win over Georgia Tech in Littlejohn Coliseum.
Clemson improves to 12-8 overall and 4-4 in the ACC.
Clemson shot just 45 percent from the free throw line, but McDaniels was able to knock down a pair of free throws with 16 seconds to play to force Georgia Tech to attempt a last-second three that was off the mark.
Pinewood Prep product Milton Jennings fouled out and scored just nine points of 4 of 12 shooting after producing a career-best 28 points Sunday vs. Virginia Tech.
Devin Booker was feeling better (flu) today, but he was just 3 of 10 from the field.

Jamie is in Chinatown meeting with FBI Agent to inform her that he will not be working for them undercover to investigate the Blue Templar. As he is walking around, he witnesses in a nearby alley two tough looking Chinese men roughing up and attempting to kidnap two young Chinese women. Although not on duty, Jamie's instinct is to police the situation. Everyone scrambles away but Jamie chases one suspect thru the dark, busy streets of Chinatown and the suspect runs into moving traffic and is hit by a car and killed. Since the suspect died and Jamie was not on duty, he will now be investigated by Internal Affairs. Danny suspects the men are part of Asian Triads in Chinatown, who, amongst other crimes they commit, kidnap illegal immigrants, and often prostitute them. Danny and Jackie track down one of the suspects, Nelson Chiu, he is uncooperative and is later found dead in his car, execution style. Danny and Det. Tuan, who works the Chinatown beat, find information that leads them to Mott Street Munificent Society, a community service center. From Lee's autopsy it is discovered from the blood on him that woman 1 (Ming-Tai) is pregnant. Inside the community center Danny and Jackie find the medical clinic waiting room that is filled with pregnant young Chinese illegal immigrant women. There is an advertisement for an adoption agency amongst the medical pamphlets, indicating a "reward" for giving your baby up for adoption. This leads them to Dr. Wakefield, an uptown fertility doctor who works pro-bono once a week at clinic. We learn that he, his Chinese American wife, and the Triad have been selling these babies, as though they are coming from China to couples who cannot conceive. Ming-Tai was running because she wanted to keep her baby. Danny and Jackie find her just in time, as a Chinese doctor working with the Triads is about to perform a c -section on her, take the baby, and leave her for dead. Jamie's investigation by Lt. Bello from I.A. concludes with the testimony from the red headed woman (FBI Agent Anderson), that witnesses saw Jamie talking to in Chinatown that night. Agent Anderson, undercover as a tourist, corroborates his story that he was giving her directions to Canal Street. Sydney is offered a job in London for 6 months and accepts it. It is clear that Jamie's love and life is his job as a cop, and she breaks their engagement. At family dinner, Jamie arrives alone, and Nikki announces that she wants to become a police officer too.

I am the Metadata Librarian at NASA Goddard, working for Cadence Group. I received my Master's Degree in Library Science from the University of Maryland in December of 2013. My specialization is in archives, with a personal concentration on metadata and accessibility.
While still in school, I created EADiva.com, a beginner-friendly version of the EAD 2002 tag library. I am currently working on updating the site to EAD3. After that has been completed, I plan to create tutorials introducing beginners to EAD 2002 and EAD3. I believe in lowering barriers to understanding metadata. Many people who are intimidated by something sounding "techy" when they don't consider themselves "techy" can learn if it's presented in the proper fashion.
Just as I care about access to information in libraries and archives and information about archival description schemas, I care about the overall accessibility of information to persons with disabilities. I've done some self-study on accessibility issues, both physical and technical, within archives as well as web accessibility. I've also volunteered with Bookshare, a service that provides accessible copies of undigitized books to persons with qualifying disabilities.
In June of 2014, I began work at NASA Goddard as their Metadata Librarian. I use a variety of metadata schemas to manage materials in our institutional repository for internal and external patrons. For my work history, check out my LinkedIn profile. To get to know me better, I'm @ruthbrarian.
- EAD 2002, EAD3, Relax NG: Thanks to my work on EADiva and upcoming revisions based on EAD3, I am very familiar with both encoding schemas as well as with Relax NG, my preferred language for reading their schemas. I have also created test XML schemas in Relax NG to enhance my knowledge of the language.
- XML/XSLT: I have a strong understanding of the basis of XML, through a variety of work, including writing EAD and Relax NG documents. I have experience transforming EAD with XSLT, primarily for projects, and researching how various archives transform their EAD-encoded finding aids.
- EAC-CPF: I have attended presentations on EAC-CPF and read through the tag library. I have a basic understanding of the purpose and function of the schema and have experimented with some creation tools.
- X/HTML and CSS used for Wordpress themes and miscellaneous tasks. I have written three simple Wordpress themes for personal use and heavily-modified dozens for personal or client use.
- PHP and SQL: I can read and write basic PHP and SQL. I have edited PHP files for Wordpress and Drupal. I regularly write a variety basic SQL extracts for a database used to track authors and publications at work.
- RDF and SPARQL: From my work with Fedora and reading of O'Reilly texts to assist me with tasks, I've developed a basic understanding of RDF triples and how they may be searched using SPARQL and some iTQL.
- Fedora: I create and manage Fedora objects in the Goddard Institutional Repository.
- Wordpress: From 2008 to 2010, I worked nights and weekends as a Wordpress consultant. I migrated sites to Wordpress, handled database edits and transitions, repaired hacked sites, and modified themes. In the process, I earned enough to pay for my MLS in its entirety.
- Archivists' Toolkit: I began using Archivists' Toolkit in 2011 as a tool to teach myself more about EAD. I used it for describing the collection I processed during my 2013 field study.
- ArchivesSpace: I have installed v.1.0.4 locally and am experimenting with AT database migration, as well as with regular use.
- LSCH, MARC, AACR2, some RDA: I used all of these during an 18-month monograph cataloging project at work.
- Microsoft Office, Innovative Millennium/Sierra, Sirsi Symphony: Used regularly at places of employment.
Schwartz, Molly and Ruth Tillman. "Embracing Archivists' Toolkit to Implement EAD." Student paper presented at MARAC, Richmond, VA, October 25-27, 2012.
My section of the paper focused on the methods I'd used to teach myself more about EAD and Archivists' Toolkit and how other students could replicate them. I followed it up with tutorials on the EADiva site and a collection of sample EAD finding aids donated by other archivists.
Volunteer/Professional Work
EAD Roundtable Co-chair: I am serving in a two-year position as a co-chair of the Society of American Archivists' Encoded Archival Description Roundtable. We are currently working on resources to coincide with the anticipated release of EAD3. (August 2014-August 2016)
EAD3 Official Tag Library: After I had given helpful technical feedback on the beta schema of EAD3, I was invited to be an extra pair of eyes in the editorial revisions to EAD3 official tag library. I have given complete feedback on two drafts of over 100 pages of the tag library. (Feb. 2014 - present)
INALJ Maryland: As the Head Editor of the INALJ Maryland page, I reviewed daily submissions from my assistants, posted them to the site, and collected my own job listings for the page. I also wrote monthly posts for the INALJ blog. (Sept. 2013 - March 2014)
Bookshare: I have scanned or edited over a half-dozen books for the Bookshare collection. These books are made available to persons with qualifying disabilities at low or no cost. I donate the participatory credits I've earned to scholarships for Bookshare users. My time for this project is limited, but I hope to continue doing 4-6 books/year. (June 2013 - hiatus)

PRINCE GEORGE COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) — Witnesses said they saw the driver of an SUV run a red light and slam into a car on Oaklawn Boulevard in Hopewell Tuesday.
Now 96-year-old Ellen Jones is preparing to bury two of her daughters who were killed in the wreck.
Jones' large family are doing their best to comfort her as they come to grips with the gravity of the loss.
"We can't fathom what she's going through right now," Nichole Seawood, Jones' granddaughter, told CBS 6 senior reporter Wayne Covil.
Carol Jones, 69, and 71-year-old Shirley Tarvor, 71, died Tuesday after witnesses told police a SUV ran a stoplight and hit the small car.
Tarvor had just recently moved back to Virginia to help care for her aging mother.
"She hadn't been here long. Now she gone, she's gone," Ellen Jones said, as two of her granddaughters held her hands as she began to cry.
Kim Jones, who lost two of her aunts, said the family is clinging to their faith during this trying time.
"Just prayers… I mean my grandma is strong. She's taught us how to be strong and she's taught us when things get tough, we pray," Jones said.
Family members said one funeral will be held for both sisters Saturday. The viewing will be at noon at Morning Star Baptist Church off Route 10 followed by the funeral at 1 p.m.
Hopewell police said charges are pending in this case.

Willing to see how training devices for medical students are produced? Welcome to one of the companies located in Saint-Petersburg that produces devices for rendering the first aid and plastic skeletons. Click on the image to view the full size.
A plant producing training aids for medical students was created on the basis of the Soviet Health Ministry in 1934. The enterprise had two departments in Moscow and one in Leningrad. A huge number of training aids were produced that time. Some of them are still kept in schools and colleges. Doctors and scientists participated in development of the models being exact copies of health-care products. After the fall of the Soviet Union the enterprise broke in pieces as well forming three independent companies.
A few words about production of training devices. Its body is made of vinyl plate with the help of metal press.

Stila Backstage Palette Review, Photos, Swatches
Shimmer on Backstage with Stila
Stila Backstage Eyeshadow Palette ($28.00 for 0.39 oz.) is an eyeshadow palette with six shimmering shades that range from pale peach to rich teal. The palette was inspired by the trends seen at Fall Fashion Week, and all six shades are new and can be used either wet or dry.
I'm so pleased to be able to say that THIS is a palette worth purchasing. The formula of the eyeshadows is exactly like Stila's normal line. After my experience with their last palette, I was a little wary of this one. The texture is incredibly soft (which may take some getting used to if you've never used Stila eyeshadows before), pigmented, and almost creamy despite being a pressed, powder eyeshadow.
- Chiffon is a shimmering medium peach with light yellow undertones. This is the only shade that seemed a little more on the glittery side; chunkier shimmer rather than very fine.
- Flamingo is a red-based fuchsia purple with a light iridescent fuchsia sheen. It's like a pinker version of MAC's Stars 'n Rockets.
- Pacific is a medium-dark blue with a lighter blue shimmer-sheen.
- Luster is a mauvey-plum with a slight gray cast and golden sheen–this is a shade I can get down with, because it's very different.
- Poetic is a light mauve with a silvery sheen. It reminds me of MAC Shale.
- Coal is a rich, darkened teal with a soft teal sheen.
The palette itself has a brocade texture/patterning on the outside but is made out of paper. There is no mirror inside (which doesn't bother me, but as many palettes have them, I thought it was worth noting), just a quote. Each eyeshadow is approximately 0.065 oz., which is a little more than your average single eyeshadow, but the palette is priced at just $28 (or ($4.67/each), so it's a great deal and represents Stila as a brand–quality and all.

RECOMMENDATION: If you love jewel-toned eyeshadows with soft, buttery textures, Stila's fall palette is a winner.
