Renowned chemist compares, contrasts Franklin and Faraday
Sir John Meurig Thomas
Sir John Meurig Thomas
stepped into the Oberkotter Auditorium of Lewis Laboratory, faced an audience of rigorously educated scientists, and captivated them with reflections on an unschooled man without whom much of science today might not be possible.
Speaking with a Welsh lilt, summoning passion and wit, and drawing connections to literature and music, Thomas brought to life Michael Faraday (1791-1867), the man who discovered electromagnetic induction and has been called the father of electrochemistry. And Thomas illumined Faraday's myriad achievements by comparing and contrasting them to those of American statesman, scientist and inventor Benjamin Franklin.
Thomas, emeritus professor of chemistry at the
Davy Faraday Research Laboratory
at the Royal Institute of Great Britain, spoke Oct. 17 as part of the Distinguished Lecture Series of the
P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science
His one-hour talk, titled "Faraday and Franklin," was distinguished as much by its lively vocabulary and its breadth as it was by Thomas's obvious affection for his subjects. It is doubtful, for example, that a Lehigh audience will soon again hear nitrogen trichloride described as "capriciously explosive" or a scientist's voluminous output referred to as "Haydnesque."
This should not be surprising. While earning a reputation as one of the world's premiere chemists, with catalysis being his forte, Thomas has served as vice president of Cambridge University's Musical Society and has been honored for his service to Welsh culture. Also, 2006 marks the tricentennial of Franklin's birth and the 250th anniversary of Mozart's. And last April, when the American Philosophical Society celebrated the inventor's 300th birthday, the group invited Thomas to Philadelphia to speak.
Laying the foundation for modern physics and chemistry
If Franklin was the best known and most admired man of science in the Western world in the 18th century, Thomas said, then Faraday—who was born the year after Franklin died—achieved that distinction in the 19th century.
The similarities between the two men were as numerous as the contrasts.
"Each discovered a large variety of new phenomena by doing spectacular and dangerous experiments," Thomas said. "Each wrote hugely popular science books with nearly identical titles. Franklin's was titled
Experiments and Observations in Electricity
and Faraday's was
Experimental Researches in Electricity
"Each man believed in prudence, industry, skepticism, intellectual honesty and the sacrosanctity of evidence. And both, of course, were auto-didacts. Franklin left school at the age of 10 and at 12 was indentured to a printer, while Faraday left school at 13 and soon afterwards was apprenticed to a bookbinder."
Faraday lacked Franklin's publishing, civic, diplomatic and legislative skills, Thomas said, and in contrast to his predecessor's "gregarious and effulgent" nature, the British scientist was "retiring and almost reclusive."
And while Franklin was known to indulge his worldly passions on occasion, Faraday was a lifelong Christian who preached sermons in the Sandemanian Church, an offshoot of the Church of Scotland. His favorite Bible verse, Job 9:20, which Thomas read, stressed humility: "Though I am righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I am blameless, it shall prove me perverse."
Franklin's scientific accomplishments should be well-known to American students: he invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the odometer, the Franklin stove and the three-wheel clock, to name just a few, and he founded America's first public library, the Philadelphia Fire Department and the aforementioned American Philosophical Society.
Faraday was a great admirer of Franklin, whom he often quoted. His contributions to physics, especially electro-magnetism, and to chemistry (he produced the first compounds of carbon and chlorine), said Thomas, laid the foundation for advances that are still being made two centuries later.
"Faraday liquefied a dozen new gases, including ammonia, established the formula for making benzene, pioneered organic photochemistry, became a superb analytical chemist, identified isomers of many chemical compounds, improved the optical quality of glass, developed glass fibers, pioneered the study of dielectrics, and identified the phenomenon of semiconductivity.
"The prodigality of his output was Haydnesque," Faraday said, referring to the 18th-century composer of 104 symphonies. "The body of work he left behind has not been equaled since."
A discovery that changed the world
It was in the arena of electricity and magnetism where Faraday left his biggest mark, Thomas said. In August 1831, in the basement of the Royal Institute of London, Faraday showed that a magnetic field could produce an electric current, expressed in "lines of force." This principle of electromagnetic induction made possible the electric transformer and generator. Later, Faraday demonstrated electromagnetic rotation, the principle behind the electric motor. And in 1845, he discovered that magnetic force affects light and that a magnetic field rotates the plane of polarized light, a phenomenon known today as the Faraday effect.
"Faraday believed profoundly in the concept of the electromagnetic field," Thomas said. "His discovery of the lines of force was an incredibly important achievement that changed the world."
Faraday owed much of his success to the experiments he devised; indeed, he has often been called the world's greatest experimentalist, Thomas said.
"Faraday believed that the experiment was the servant of the imagination, and that there was an answer to every question. His choice of problems on which to conduct experiments was astute, and he devised the best instruments to use. He demonstrated his discoveries in remarkable and often gripping ways."
One of the most famous experiments Faraday conducted took place in 1836 inside the "Faraday cage." To illustrate that an electric charge applied to the outside of a charged conductor would not affect anything inside the conductor, Faraday sat inside a specially built room coated with metal foil while a high-voltage discharge from a generator struck the outside of the room. His audience observed a huge flash of light from the 150,000-volt charge, Thomas said, but the scientist was not harmed.
Faraday demonstrated and discussed many of his discoveries at the Friday Evening Discourses, which he founded in 1826 for lay people, and at the Christmas Lectures, which he founded in 1827 for young people. Both continue today.
"Mozartian perfection"
Faraday's scientific achievements might not have come to pass, said Thomas, were it not for his skills as a bookbinder and his ability to write clear, compelling prose. While working as an apprentice, Faraday developed an avid interest in chemistry, read voraciously and attended lectures by leading scientists. A customer gave him tickets to four lectures given by Humphry Davy, the most renowned scientist of the day.
"Michael Faraday sat entranced and mesmerized by the pellucidity of Davy's narrations," Thomas said, "and went on to record his detailed observations into a book that he bound and sent to Davy, along with a request, which was eventually successful, for a position as Davy's assistant.
"It was a document of Mozartian perfection, and it impressed Davy immensely."
Thomas, who was born and educated in Wales, couldn't help but notice that Davy expressed his gratitude to Faraday with typical English understatement in a letter that began, "I am far from displeased…"
"Only an Englishman would say that—not a Welshman or an Irishman or a Scotsman."

Video:How to Deadhead Flowerswith Charlie Siegchrist
Deadheading perennials stops blossoms from going to seed, saving the plant energy and you garden work come springtime. Find out how to deadhead flowers properly.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Deadhead FlowersHi, I am Charlie Siegchrist for About.com Home and Garden, and today we are going to talk about deadheading flowers.
Why Deadhead Flowers?Deadheading is essentially the removal of blossoms that have gone by. The plant expends a lot of energy making flowers, and then expends even more turning the pollinated flowers into seeds.
There are very few perennials we like to see go to seed in our garden. We would rather they use the energy making more buds for next year. We want to keep what is in flower and anything else we can cut off.
How to Deadhead FlowersGather up everything you can easily reach with one hand, and take as many as you can conveniently grasp, and keep moving right along. So here we have a plant that in a few short seconds looks much cleaner and tidier, and its remaining blooms can show off in much better condition.
Deadheading Different FlowersDeadheading can happen on perennials of any size. This is a perennial sunflower, and it depends how picky you want to get. We want to remove anything that is obviously dead, flowers that are really gone by like that one. Same idea, grab two or three stems at a time. There is no need to be persnickety, if you do not get all of them. If you get eighty five percent you are a hero. You save the plant a scad of energy, you save yourself from weeding out seedlings next spring, and you improve the appearance of the plant.
Thanks for watching. To learn more about this subject visit us on the Web at Homegarden.About.com.

We've had a lot of emails asking about Christmas delivery and buying a Fitbit Tracker as a Christmas gift. Unfortunately, as our FAQ states, we can't guarantee Christmas delivery. In order to eliminate any confusion, we're going to remove any mention of late December as a ship date and just provide a date of "Q1 (First quarter) 2009″.
Since we have just kickstarted the manufacturing process for the Fitbit Tracker, we will be making very frequent updates on this blog as to our status. We are regularly making trips to our various manufacturers in Indonesia and Singapore. We just made our first trip in mid-October. Eric and I are taking turns with our bi-monthly visits so as not to annoy our significant others who are also doubling as our first line beta testers :).
After every trip, we will make a post which will provide a shipping date update and also photos that show the latest progress of the Fitbit in the manufacturing process. This blog will be the best source for availability and shipping updates, so please subscribe to it. Hopefully, this will give everyone a very transparent look into what we're doing and ensure that no one feels like they are completely in the dark as is typically the case with most consumer electronics companies.
Setting up the manufacturing process in Asia has been a very exciting, enjoyable and, at times, frustrating process. If people have questions about things we have learned or seen, please post questions in the comments and we'll try to do future posts that answer your questions. We have learned a lot from our advisors and suppliers who have been through this before and we feel obligated pass on this knowledge so more cool stuff gets made by others.
You might also see us reaching out to you on Twitter if you pose a question on there.
so are we going to see more details about the final product itself yet? Is the only difference from the initial prototype screen?
Thanks for the update — I ordered this the same day that you presented this at Techcrunch and I can't wait to try it out!
Hey guys – I just wanted to let you know that I'm an American living in Singapore right now looking forward to your product. I ordered a Fitbit to be sent home to my house in Denver because we'll be home by the end of December, but I didn't realize you had a manufacturing plant here in Singapore. That is great. If you're out here in the next 6 weeks and need recommendations on hotels/places to eat, questions answered, etc., feel free to email me. My husband and I have a travel blog too about our adventures around Asia if you want to check it out. Take care and don't work too hard!
Looking forward to your product…to bad you chose Asia for production. Guess that is asking to much now days.
What is your Twitter username?
check out http://www.bodytrace.com, similar idea to yours…
Thanks for getting started on Twitter! I've been SO EXCITED about the FitBit, and getting news of it via Twitter will be great. If you want to hit two birds with one stone, I recently found this article on feeding blog posts directly to your Twitter account: http://is.gd/8bVw
Good luck getting everything ramped up and ready to ship!
I am so excited about your product! I have been telling everyone I know about it.
I am OK with waiting until March if it means getting a better support module. It is important that the online part is robust and user-friendly. You may want to partner with http://www.fitlogix.org, they have the program created, but have been using the ActiPed.
Joe, I don't think the bodytrace is very similar to this as the fitbit seems more like a single sensor pedometer that gets its data wrapped in a gyminee like website experience. I look forward to getting my hands on this but will have to wait until sometime in Q1 it seems.
In the meantime check out an already shipping multi sensor system that provides clinically accurate data. Check out the http://www.gowearfit.com website for more details.
I was really looking foward to a Chirstmas delivery. I still plan on buying one, wish you the best of luck.
It's December. Is there a status update?
I too am looking forward to this…any further word on shipping date?
Any updates? I've been returning pretty regularly hoping to see your progress but haven't seen anything since your Nov 14th post. Are you on track for a Q1 launch? Do you think it'll be the beginning or end of Q1? Hope the manufacturing line is shaping up!
I left a comment here last week but accidentally used an incorrect email address and my post was withdrawn, so I think this blog is being monitored for false posts, just not regularly updated with content. Any news on the progress of the fitbit, guys?
I'm very excited to receive an update. It should be *crossing fingers* about a month yet until I receive this great product.
you know.. the draw of this for me is the lack of arm band. I want something I can wear all day that isn't cumbersome. Plus.. with the website being free (and not a monthly cost comparable to a gym membership).. it's very appealing.
However… I'm dying for more information!!!! Any new news … would be great.
I ordered my fitbit the day you launched at TechCrunch50 and am excited to get my hands on it! Can you update the blog so we know what to expect?
when will this actually be delivered?????
Will gym equipment interfer fitbit like it does heart montior
So, it is almost March 2009. When will you be shipping?

About your remark regarding the dogs terrorizing DeLand, you said "they looked frightened and remorseful" I was wondering how you could know that. I can honestly say when I buriud my cat they tore apart he looked frightened and trapped. Those dogs are not one bit remorseful and would do that to someone else's animal or possibly child in a heartbeat.i think giving them a option for adoption is unjust because my cat and other family pets were not given any option.

If Obama's challenge is to keep the momentum going, does it matter if some think he's already letting it drain away? Salon.com's Walter Shapiro saw Obama finding his voice Saturday night -- only to begin to lose it Sunday morning. "The fiery Obama of Saturday night had been replaced on Sunday morning by a replicant, a tepid candidate mostly concerned with avoiding mistakes rather than winning converts," Shapiro writes. "If Obama really wants to be the one who knocks Hillary off her pedestal, he should remember that statues rarely topple without a hard push."
Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., is playing to his strength, with an op-ed today in the Baltimore Sun outlining his plans for Pakistan.
Senate Banking Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., told ABC's George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" Sunday that a recession is looking likely. "It's certainly pointing in that direction," Dodd said. And he had this to say on reports of the Clinton camp planting questions: "The idea that this is a contrived setting, been orchestrated and set up ahead of time, I think would hurt you here."
For as static as the Democratic field seems, the Republican side is proving impossible to narrow down. Bloomberg's Heidi Przybyla looks at former governor Mike Huckabee's, R-Ark., ability to scramble Iowa. "Though he's a Scripture-quoting champion of social conservatives, his populist economics may limit his ability to broaden his support among Republican constituencies," she writes. "The result is a kind of populist fusion -- he's also anti- abortion, pro-gun and a foe of gay marriage -- that has catapulted Huckabee to the first tier of Republicans in Iowa."
As for Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, "the Internet has harnessed him," Katharine Q. Seelye and Leslie Wayne write in the Sunday New York Times. "Mr. Paul's once-solo quest has taken on a life of its own. It is evolving from a figment of cyberspace into a traditional campaign, with yard signs, direct mail and old-fashioned rallies."
And AP's Ron Fournier catches up with Iowa waitress Anita Esterday after the media sensation blew through town. "When I got home, there were 60 messages on my machine," Esterday says. "Are you guys nuts? . . . There's a war going on and the price of oil is going crazy. Look at all the toys being recalled right now. Just look at the news! Isn't there something else you can be writing about?"
The kicker:
"If it were Bartholomew, that would be a different story." -- Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom, explaining why the campaign is having fun with the name "Mitt."
"The views of my mothers are not necessarily the views of mine." -- McCain, jumping in on "Hardball" after his 95-year-old mother said of Romney: "He's a Mormon and the Mormons of Salt Lake City had caused that scandal. And to clean that up, again, it's not a subject."
"Are we nuts thinking Hillary Clinton could be president of this country? Honest to God, just stand back and think about it." -- Joel Surnow, executive producer of "24." He's leaning toward Rudy.

ATHENS — If Oak Hill coach Norm Persin wanted efficiency from his ball club Saturday afternoon, the No. 2 Oaks may have written a new definition of the term.
By running long offensive possessions, Oak Hill passed its Division III Southeast District Semifinal test by pounding the paint to eliminate No. 6 Meigs 49-32. The Oaks advance to next Friday's district final against No. 1 Sardinia Eastern, which defeated No. 4 Chillicothe Southeastern 64-44 earlier in the afternoon.
"We said that we've got to attack, we have to attack," Persin said.
For the game, Oak Hill was 18-of-37 from the field in the school's first district appearance since the Oaks won the 2009 Division IV State Championship.
Oak Hill led from wire-to-wire in the contest, starting the game with a 9-1 run while the Marauders missed their first nine shots while turning the ball over on eight occasions. Persin chalked up the effort to the full week's worth of preparation.
"We did a really good job of preparation and I thought our (reserves) were very instrumental in that," Persin said. "They ran through their offense with their shuffle cut and their flex. We were very well prepared for that."
Meigs slimmed the lead in the second half to six points on two occasions but the Oaks used high-percentage shots at timely spots to extend the lead. For the game, Oak Hill held a 40-12 advantage on points in the paint.
Nathan Kidd led the Oaks with 13 points on a perfect six-of-six night off the bench. Persin is glad to see the versatility out of his senior.
"He was a tremendous spark, he got to the rim, he hit a key three," Persin said. "The thing about it, why he got to the rim was because he got a couple of steals and that got us going early. We can start him, we can bring him off the bench, it doesn't matter to Nate (because) he's just been an instrumental kid."
Before the start of the fourth, the Marauders had committed one foul the entire contest. They decided to put pressure on Oak Hill at the line. The Oaks were fouled 10 times in the fourth and were 10-of-12 from the charity stripe in the final 1:57 of the game to salt it away.

The Overseas Railroad (a.k.a. Florida Overseas Railroad and the Overseas Extension) was an extension of the Florida East Coast Railway to Key West, located 128 miles (206 kilometres) beyond the end of the Florida peninsula. Work on the line started in 1905 and was completed in 1912;[2] the line was in daily passenger and freight service until its destruction by a hurricane in 1935.
Henry Flagler[edit]
Henry Flagler was a principal in Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler and later in Standard Oil during the Gilded Age in the United States. Flagler took interest in Florida while seeking a warmer climate for his ailing first wife in the late 1870s. Returning to Florida in 1881, he became the builder and developer of resort hotels and railroads along the east coast of Florida.
Beginning with St. Augustine, he moved progressively south. Flagler helped develop Ormond Beach, Daytona Beach, Palm Beach, and became known as the "Father of Miami, Florida." Flagler's network of railroads became known as the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC).
Key West Extension[edit]
Flagler was not content to rest by the time his railroad had reached Miami in 1896. The Florida Keys, a string of islands that reach more than 100 miles (160 kilometres) southwest from the southern tip of mainland Florida, appealed to Flagler. The outermost key, Key West, was only 90 miles (140 kilometres) from Havana, Cuba. Prior to the 1950s, there was a great deal of freight and passenger traffic between the U.S. and Cuba; in addition, Key West was closer to the Panama Canal (then under construction) than any other U.S. port. In 1904, Flagler decided to extend his railroad to Key West.[3]
The construction problems were formidable and labor turnover was high. The first portion of the line, from Homestead to Key Largo, was across swamp. The dredging of drainage canals provided material for the roadbed. Along Key Largo, however, the problem was not terrain but insects. Worse than either terrain or insects was the weather: a hurricane in September 1906 destroyed the initial work on the Long Key Viaduct and killed more than 100 laborers. In 1907, the opening of Long Key Viaduct, more than two miles of concrete arches (eventually becoming FEC's trademark), allowed service to begin to Knight's Key, where a marine terminal was built.[3]
Hurricanes in 1909 and 1910 destroyed much of the completed railroad. After both hurricanes, work resumed at a faster pace — Flagler was 80 years old and wanted to ride all the way to Key West on his railroad. The completion of Seven Mile Bridge assured many that the line would soon be completed. Flagler, by then blind, arrived in Key West on January 22, 1912, aboard his private railcar Rambler,[3] telling a welcoming crowd, "Now I can die happy. My dream is fulfilled."[4]
Regular service on the 156-mile (251 km) extension — dubbed the "Eighth Wonder of the World"[5] — began the following day, with through sleepers between New York and Key West (called the Havana Special) and connections at Key West with passenger steamers and car ferries for Havana. Flagler died less than 18 months later in May 1913.[3]
The 1935 Labor Day Hurricane washed away approximately 40 miles (64 kilometres) of the Middle Keys section of the line.[3] In addition, the Long Key Fishing Camp was destroyed, along with an FEC rescue train which was — with the exception of locomotive #447 — overturned by the storm surge at Islamorada, Florida.
With Flagler gone, FEC was unwilling to repair a line that had never repaid its construction cost — an unknown figure at the time only hinted at by the federal valuation of $12 million ($315 million today).[3] It was later determined that the total cost of what had been derisively nicknamed "Flagler's Folly" exceeded $50 million ($1.31 billion today), all from his personal fortune.[6]
The railroad structures, however, were built to withstand the harsh tropical climates of the Keys. FEC cut the railroad back to Florida City, 30 miles (48 kilometres) south of Miami, and sold the remaining land to the state of Florida. As the concrete viaducts and steel trestles survived intact, the state built Overseas Highway (U.S. 1) over them in 1938.[3] Most of U.S. 1 was rebuilt in the 1980s, converting the former viaducts into fishing piers and pedestrian paths part of the Florida Keys Overseas Heritage Trail.[7] The viaducts and bridges were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]

Lustering lipstick is a sheer, glossy hot pink. I feel like it runs cocoler, with bluer undertones, so it may be too cool for some warmer complexions.
Girl About Town lipstick is a creamy, opaque hot pink. To me this is one of the overall must-have lipsticks, period.
Impassioned lipstick is a bright hot pink that runs a little warmer, a little more orange-red tone to it. It has a super creamy finish, and it is ultra pigmented.
See two more…
Speak Louder lipstick is a bright, clean pink with blue undertones. It has a creamy, low-sheen finish with good color pay off.
Chatterbox lipstick is a creamy, opaque bright pink with reddish undertones. It's a warmer pink, which is always a nice change of pace.

BEAUMONT - Hanna Elfving and Carolina Masó will look to impress among some of the best talent in the region this weekend as the duo sets out for Ft. Worth to compete in the ITA Texas Regional on the campus of TCU.
Elfving, a freshman out of Sweden, will be making her first trip to the annual event after participating in the Islanders Open and Northwestern State Invitational earlier this year. Prior to joining the program, Elfving was a very accomplished player in her native country, picking up over 150 top three finishes in national events.
Masó, a junior, is coming off an impressive spring season a year ago, going 8-5 at No. 2 singles. In last year's regional event, the Mexico native picked up a straight sets victory over Marie LeBlond of UTEP before bowing out in similar fashion to North Texas' Valentina Starkova.
In doubles, Masó teamed up with Alicia Porte to advance to the Round of 16, where they ultimately fell victim to Aeriel Ellis and Noel Scott of the University of Texas.
The first day of the ITA Texas Regional is set to begin with doubles play at 8 a.m. on Thursday at the Bayard H. Friedman Tennis Center.

HOUSTON - A fire captain from with local ties who was injured battling a 5-alarm blaze at a southwest Houston motel that killed four of his comrades will be released from the hospital on Wednesday, according to the Houston Fire Department.
HFD units and personnel will line the streets to salute Captain Bill Dowling as he leaves Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Texas Medical Center and finally head home. Engine 68 will carry the captain down North Macgregor Way to Highway 288, then on to I-45 North. Volunteer Fire Departments will also be staged along the route outside the city limits.
Captain Dowling lost both of his legs and suffered brain damage after getting trapped in the fire on May 31, which has become known as the deadliest day in the Houston Fire Department's 118-year history.
Dowling was trapped in the fire with his legs pinned by burning debris. He was awake and alert when he was rescued and shouted to his fellow firefighters to let his wife know he would be okay, but his condition began to worsen soon after. After the medical amputation and he began to awake from several weeks of sedation, it became apparent that he suffered hypoxia. The condition left him barely able to communicate.
His colleagues from Houston Fire Department Station 68 drove their ambulance to Memorial Hermann Hospital to personally transfer Dowling to the rehabilitation facility at TIRR, the same facility where Congresswoman Gabby Giffords underwent rehabilitation.
After months of rehab, the captain is now being allowed to return to the comforts of his own home, but he still has a long road of recovery ahead.
Dowling's parents grew up in College Station and his family members have been keeping up with his progress.
Killed in the Southwest Inn fire were: Capt. Matthew Renaud, 35, who had been with the department for 11 ½ years; engineer operator Robert Bebee, 41, who joined the department almost 12 years ago; firefighter Robert Garner, 29, who joined the department 2 ½ years ago; and Anne Sullivan, 24, a probationary firefighter who had graduated in April from the Houston Fire Department Academy.
Thirteen firefighters in total were injured. Firefighters Anthony Livesay and Robert Yarbrough were seriously injured in the fire, but they fought against the pain and were released from the hospital to attend the memorial for their fallen comrades.

Ventura County Sheriff's Office receives $100,000 gift
The Ventura County Sheriff's Office will be receiving a $100,000 gift from a local woman's estate.
Irene Zilphia Parks lived in Camarillo for a number of years and then spent her last years in Ventura. She died on Sept. 28, 2011, at age 91.
Parks bequeathed money to the Ventura County Sheriff's Office, as well as other public safety agencies.
Because of Parks' time in Camarillo, the bequest will be used at the sheriff's station there, said Ventura County Sheriff Geoff Dean.
On Tuesday, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the use of the gift for the Camarillo station. The item was on the board's consent calendar.
"Mrs. Parks' generous bequest is greatly appreciated," Dean said.
The sheriff noted that the money also will be used for many city police volunteer organizations, including the citizen patrol, disaster assistance response team and Explorer post. The gift also will be used for the sheriff's K-9 program, which has a dog assigned to the Camarillo station.
"The bequest will be held in a trust account," Dean said. "We will return to the board to request increased appropriations and revenue budget when a determination is made on how these funds will be used."

Lee Fang: As the Republican presidential candidates tour Iowa hoping to lock up the 2012 nomination, they will hear an assortment of questions on energy policy. Some of them will be planted by the oil and natural gas lobby to steer the candidates toward pro-Big Oil policies.
Proposition 16: Bad for Californians
Tracy Emblem: California allows cities and counties to purchase electricity or develop it locally through an energy provider of their choice. Currently, 68 percent of California's electricity is generated by investor-owned utilities. Proposition 16, on the June 8 primary ballot, would alter local government's ability to develop electricity service and is bad for California's residents and businesses.

International Fashion Showcase: Kathleen Kye
If there's one thing that definitely flies in today's fashion world it's a touch of the ridiculous (Thom Brown's maniacal headgear hardly looked out of place on the catwalk in Paris). So we're pretty sure that Kathleen Kye will fit right in – her menswear makes good use of dramatic silhouettes and is full of visual punnery. The Korean designer likes to poke fun at commercial chic and calls "fun-loving" her design ethos. With three catwalk collections already under her belt and ready-to-wear line just released, she's well on her way to spreading her feel-good fashion to the masses.

Oregon has the top spot in the category that no state wants to lead. the number of people who have turned to food stamps in order to survive. Today, nearly one-in-five Oregonians are using them and the program is at risk of being defunded in congress.
In today's world of unhealthy eating, fast processed food reigns supreme. It's cheap and appealing especially if you only have three dollars a day to eat. At a time when more people are without a job, homeless, or on disability many are on supplemental nutrition assistance- fighting to get the bare necessities. As a result Oregon ranks number one in the nation for the number of people on food assistance. So I wanted to see what it's like. Could I eat healthy on the amount of food stamps i would get? The average amount I would get would be $96 per month. Or just over three dollars a day on the healthiest meal I could find. day one of the food stamp diet and i was feeling pretty good about it. The only problem is I ran out of money before I could get all of the food groups i need. Sticking to basic food groups I had to be flexible with all the ingredients. Most days I stretch my breakfast items out. The two eggs I had planned for breakfast I ate closer to lunch to keep me from being hungry. Rice cakes and peanut butter. At dinner, organic free range chicken with organic greens and brown rice. But im still not getting all of the nutrients I need, and im really hungry. but i've already spent my money. actually i went over by five dollars wanted to find out how things got this way. Why are all of the bad foods so cheap, and the good foods so expensive? so I headed to the growers market to find out about commodity crops. Every year billions of federal dollars are given to farms through the farm bill. the farmers get compensated for growing huge amounts of corn, soy beans, wheat, cotton and rice. to make hydrogenated oils, trans-fat, high fructose corn syrup. which is in just about everything theses days .But these farmers growing local fruits, vegetables and free range meats don't get those federal dollars. It's more expensive as a result. Now it's all starting to make sense. I'm hungry so I couldn't miss out on the sample dishes at the market. For me the food stamp diet long term would be nearly impossible. I couldn't afford all the necessary food groups, I was hungry, I couldn't concentrate or even sleep well.

Service & Justice in Action – Trinity's Spirituality
At Trinity, we believe education and faith/spirituality are transforming powers. Through education, we come to understand the issues and context of poverty. Through the values of faith/spirituality, we are invited personally and communally to "do justice." The stage is set for action, for making a difference for the world in which we live.
As we grow academically, our students gain knowledge and people skills, experience cultural and socioeconomic diversity, and grow in personal awareness and compassion. We become more aware of our role as global citizens. We become the "advocates for justice, peace and reverence of all human life". (Adapted from Empowered by the Spirit #73, A letter about Campus Ministry from the United States Catholic Conference of Bishops, 1985.)
Campus Ministry pursues justice through:
- weekly service opportunities
- an Alternative Spring Break service trip (ASB)
- community based learning (Cunneen Fellowships)
- alumnae/i presentations on social justice initiatives ("Sower's Seed" Lecture)
- advocacy projects
We hope to form a habit of serving and doing justice that not only reaches out to individuals but to communities as well.
We build relationships over time with service agencies both near and far. Often we share a common vision and sometimes a joint project. We stand with our service partners in solidarity working for a common good. Many of our efforts happen here in Ward 5 while other programs take us to vital partner locations, like THEARC in Southeast.
Whether the project is a one time event, a semester-long weekly commitment or an ongoing project that spans several years, our students gain experience and social analysis skills. The lessons learned about the issues surrounding poverty, the day-to-day lives of the poor, and one's own gifts for making a difference are life-changing.

"Let the construction get under way!" declared Dr. Devin Stephenson, president of Three Rivers College, at the conclusion of a ceremony to mark the start of the college's Eastern Campus.
And the construction of its Sikeston site is coming none too soon. Stephenson told the standing-room-only crowd at Life Church, where the ceremony was conducted due to recent rains, that the current Sikeston campus is at capacity and having to turn students away.
The new facility, when completed near the intersection of Highways 61/60 is expected to provide room for 1,500 students. It will feature state-of-the-art computer and science labs, LPN-to-RN program facilities, a Learning Resource Center and an exhibit hall/auditorium. Also it will serve as a base for Three Rivers' workforce development programs, which provide training and education for employers.

Becoming Masters
November 28, 2011
Filed under News
This year's Masterworks performaces took lots of preparation and practice.
Every two years, the Symphony Orchestra and A Cappella Choir get together to perform a Masterwork which is Shubert's Mass in G. In addition to numerous class time rehearsals and sectionals for each different part in which the orchestra and choir were apart, there was an 8th hour rehearsal as well as two hour rehearsals during the day.
For first time members of A Cappella, the Masterwork was not what they expected.
"This is my first time working with the orchestra, it's pretty exciting," said Leah Bell (10). "I've never done a mass before."
Shubert's Mass in G held a duration of a little over half an hour where the orchestra and choir combined to perform in front of parents and faculty. There were only two returning members that had previously done a Masterwork, Samantha Jones (12) and Kellen Hope (12).
Kellen Hope switched voice parts for the Masterwork as opposed to the one two years ago.

Cooking from "Scratch"
I offer you recipes that I prepare often or recipes that are family traditions. I will tell you in advance if it is one that requires a bit of thought as I sometimes do not measure exact ingredients. These you can experiment with easily and none of them are complicated. That's the best part of scratch cooking, you can claim the dish as your own.
Note to new cooks: from scratch means you start with basic ingredients where nothing is pre-mixed and you have to measure the quantities.
Of course, there are recipes from others that have proven just too good to not share. Like the Best Breadmachine White Bread. It would be wrong to keep that to myself. Then there are those that are simply links to articles I've written elsewhere but they take you directly to the recipe.
We discuss using fresh vegetables, making your own seasonings, growing your own herbs and how to use them. I hope you stay for a while and enjoy using the recipes and suggestions. Leave a comment or share something. I will post the recipe with full credit to you if you do.

Heat oven to 400 degrees. On a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle peppers with 1 tablespoon oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, about 18 minutes. Let cool slightly, then rub off skins and remove stems and seeds.
In a food processor, puree chickpeas and garlic until very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add roasted peppers and vinegar and puree until combined. With machine running, drizzle in remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with radishes.
Fridge Raid
Swap out the peppers and combine the base chickpea butter with cooked dark leafy greens, eggplant, broccoli, carrots -- whatever vegetable you have on hand.

Bearcats Lose to Western Oregon, 8-2
MONMOUTH, Ore. –After 14 consecutive road games, Western Oregon
won its 2006 home debut this afternoon with a 8-2 non-conference
baseball victory over the Willamette University baseball team at
the WOU Field Tuesday.
The victory was also officially the first for interim head coach Jeremiah Robbins. Long-time coach Terry Baumgartner resigned as the WOU mentor yesterday.
The Bearcats struck first, scoring a run in the first inning without the benefit of a hit, and then added another unearned counter in the second inning.
Sean Anderson led off the game with a walk, then moved to second on a groundout and a stolen base. Kelly Gilmore drove Anderson home with a grounder to shortstop and the Bearcats had a 1-0 lead.
The Bearcats tacked on a run in the second when Steve Johnson led off the inning with a single, then came around to score on Lee Eklund's sacrifice fly.
The Wolves took the lead for good with three runs in the bottom half of the second, taking advantage of two Willamette errors. Travis Coursey led off the inning with a double and Eric Beasley later added an RBI-single.
The Wolves would add single runs in the fifth and sixth innings, and closed the door in the seventh with three scores. In that inning, Paul Fisher had an RBI double and Matt Skundrick drove in a run with a single up the middle.
Ryan Smith took the loss for the Bearcats, going six innings and allowing five earned runs. Kelsey Nakata and Nic Nottingham each pitched a scoreless inning of relief.
Jacob Cathey pitched two innings of perfect relief to pick up
the committee win, allowing only one hit and fanning four. Adam
Hoffman also went two innings and did not give up a hit, while Nick
Waechter struck out the side in the ninth.
Score by Innings R H E
Willamette 110 000 000 - 2 4 5
Western Oregon 030 011 30x - 8 8 1
Smith, Nakata (7), Nottingham (8) and Eklund.
Renyer, Cathey (3), Timm (5), Hoffman (6), Shivers (8), Waechter (9) and Beasley (5).

While the constitution provides for freedom of expression, this is rarely respected in practice; the government dominates the media and often persecutes those in the private sector who dare to criticize it. Much of the current media legislation is vague about which offenses a journalist may be charged for, a fact that is often taken advantage of my government officials. For example, the 1997 Press Law forbids the dissemination of "information inciting civil disobedience or serving as propaganda for enemies of the Burundian nation during a time of war." The November 2003 Media Law also provides for harsh fines and prison terms of up to five years for the dissemination of information that insults the president or is defamatory toward other individuals. In 2006, a new law was proposed that would more accurately define the responsibilities and limitations of journalists in Burundi, but no progress on this legislation was made in 2007.
In 2006, the government abused its consolidated power to implement a crackdown on media outlets that criticize its policies. In fact, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Burundi was Africa's third leading jailer of journalists in 2006. The situation looked particularly bleak when a number of media outlets questioned the government's allegations that a coup had been attempted against its regime and warranted the arrest and torture of several prominent opposition leaders. The dissenting media outlets – including Radio Publique Africaine (RPA), a frequent government target, and Radio Isanganiro, a station backed by the American NGO Search for Common Ground – were all charged with "violating state secrecy" and a number of their employees were sentenced to prison. However, the situation seems to have improved in 2007. For example, in January a court remarkably acquitted the three journalists who had been imprisoned and rejected the government's assertion that their behavior compromised public security. Also, unlike the previous year there were no reports of journalists having been harassed or arrested for being critical of the administration. Nonetheless, the events of 2006 have created a lot of fear within the private media outlets causing many journalists to self-censor.
The government dominates Burundi's media industry; it owns Le Renouveau, the country's only daily newspaper, as well as the only television station and the sole nationally broadcasted radio station. However, there are still six private newspapers that are able to publish on a weekly basis but are generally restricted to the Bujumbura area due to financial and infrastructure constraints. The ownership of the private radio stations tends to be highly concentrated, but some, like RPA, are still able to provide diverse and balanced coverage. The government doesn't actively limit the internet, but poverty does prevent the majority of Burundi's citizens from accessing this still very elite media. Less than 1 percent of the population was able to access it in 2007.

What I dislike most about my jazz-drumming is my solo's and fills. They are too much rooted in the chopsy/funk/fusion spectrum of drumming. Hopefully, they will come with experience and vocab practicing.
Thaard please know that all my critiques are some nit picky shit and I only share it because I see an abnormal amount of potential in your playing
as for the solo type vocab....that stuff will come in time ....through listening ....and in my opinion transcribing
I have a fantastic For Big Sid transcription that I have pulled endless amounts of vocabulary from for many years that I could send you ....it would be a really great start to feeling that classic vocabulary
first I learned it note for note....had a blast doing it by the way
then I broke it down to the licks I liked most
I then altered some of them to fit my tendencies and slightly modernized them ......and use them to this day
I feel it is important to learn the classic vocab before approaching the more contemporary vocab of Ari Hoenig , Brian Blade, Eric Harland, Justin Faulkner ...and guys like that .....all those guys modernize classic vocabulary
here is Justin Varnes youtube page....he is in the middle of something he calls "52 licks"
he puts out a lick a week that he borrows from some of the greats and tells you the tune he got it from so you can go listen and pull your own inspiration from ....each one really good to learn....and it is all simple stuff but very affective
here also is a guy named Tim Metz youtube page....also a great resource for some nice vocabulary
hit me up with your email address if you want that Max Roach transcription I mentioned earlier
I want to do everything I possibly can to help you because I really admire what you are doing and highly respect your playing ability

Tier 4 Adult Students
If you are coming to the United Kingdom as a full time research student your offer letter from the University should contain all of the information you need to make an application for a Tier 4 visa under the Points Based System.
If your offer letter explains that you need an ATAS certificate you should apply for this via the dedicated Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) website before you apply for your visa. The FCO will email your certificate directly to you as soon as it has been approved. The ATAS process takes at least 20 working days (i.e., about a month) and so you should make allowance for this when you are calculating your anticipated arrival date in the UK.
The Home Offices website has a step-by-step guide on how to apply for your visa, how to complete the application form, and how to extend a visa once you are here in the UK. With regard to visa extensions the International Office desk in Student Central can help pre-enrolment students with an unconditional offer as well as current students.
The UK Council for Student Affairs has a useful list of frequently asked questions about immigration and visas that you may wish to consult before completing your application form

Researchers from ECU's Sellenger Centre need help answering this question as part of a research project being conducted in collaboration with WA Police.
The Centre for Innovative Practice reached a major milestone in November 2014 with their Innovative practice in the Indian Ocean workshop.
Research photography winner – Philippa Vojnovic
The Research Photography Competition will showcase research taking place at ECU through the medium of photography, with images being exhibited during Research Week from 15-19 September, 2014.
Researchers Pamela Henry and Nikki Rajakaruna from the Sellenger Centre are currently collaborating with the WA Police Academy to develop proficiency standards for police use of force training.
An ECU researcher has three lessons for fellow Aboriginals hoping to make it in business.
Dr Susanne Bahn showcases the tablet training tool RiskSpotter Hazard ID.
Car thefts in WA have increased by almost 50 per cent in three years but a new research project by Edith Cowan University aims to slash that figure.
Final report released, Wednesday 25 September.
A new project from ECU's Centre for Innovative Practice will improve risk awareness by utilising tablet technology.
Are foreign workers taking Australian jobs? Dr Susanne Bahn says 457 visa workers play a vital part in plugging the skills gap.

Phillies won't wait around for Carlos Ruiz
Nov 8, 2013, 10:50 AM EDT
Ruben Amaro Jr. has made no secret about wanting to re-sign catcher Carlos Ruiz, but the GM also made it clear yesterday that the Phillies won't wait around for him to make a decision.
Amaro told Ryan Lawrence of the Philadelphia Daily News that if Ruiz takes a long time to decide "I can assure you … there will be very little chance of bringing Chooch back. We can't afford to miss out on other opportunities."
Ruiz has already been linked to the Rockies and several contending teams with catching needs will surely be interested as well. Ruiz is 35 years old and posted a .688 OPS for his worst mark since 2008, but he batted .268 with a .741 OPS in 52 games after the All-Star break.
- WillIEverSeeACupInMyLife? - Nov 8, 2013 at 11:09 AM
Love Ruiz, but not for money he will get on free agency. Thanks for the memories Ruiz, but we don't need any more bad contracts.
- chew1985 - Nov 8, 2013 at 11:31 AM
So NOBODY'S worth what they're going to get paid in the upper crust free agent market this year. That's the logic apparently.
Well Jason Werth wasn't worth it to the Phillies. Hunter Pence wasn't worth it to the Phillies and now Carlos Ruiz may not be re-signed. And where have we finished since these guys left?
McCann will be WAY to expensive, so they're not really going to spend any big bucks on a catcher. Maybe that's why they stocked their farm system with 2014-15 minimum wagers at that position.
The Yankees are ready to go on another spending binge, though they're playing tough with Cano. They'll sign him eventually. 200 million plus.
And every other big name free agent will be overpriced.
That's a sure-fire prescription for mediocrity at Citizens Bank Park for years to come. The owners might as well put it in their pockets and we can return to the mid 1990s, cable deal money be damned.
Maybe they'll have a Travis Lee/Chad Ogea appreciation night by mid-May because we are now, truly again, as Dave Montgomery used to love to say, "a small market team."
- chadjones27 - Nov 8, 2013 at 11:49 AM
Do be so shocked if the Yankees don't go on a spending spree like everyone assumes. The only player I see them paying top dollar for is Cano. I have a feeling they'll let the market decide the price of the other players.
- WillIEverSeeACupInMyLife? - Nov 8, 2013 at 11:55 AM
What are you rambling about?
- chew1985 - Nov 8, 2013 at 2:11 PM
I'm in a drunken stupor still mad that it's no longer 2008; and that Ruben Amaro, a blind man by baseball standards, was given the keys to my favorite "sports" car.
- raysfan1 - Nov 8, 2013 at 12:24 PM
Overpaying free agents is a surer road to mediocrity than almost anything else. It hampers signing and developing other players, and the production the team gets is not what is expected. They've got $120M tied up next year in 7 players already. They're no small market team, but they've spent unwisely in the past–and spending unwisely now would not help.
- tuberippin - Nov 8, 2013 at 8:30 PM
"So NOBODY'S worth what they're going to get paid in the upper crust free agent market this year. That's the logic apparently."
Logic which is wise given the talent at hand aside from perhaps Tanaka (which even then remains to be seen).
"Well Jason Werth wasn't worth it to the Phillies. Hunter Pence wasn't worth it to the Phillies and now Carlos Ruiz may not be re-signed. And where have we finished since these guys left?"
The Phillies becoming old and more injured and simultaneously (if not consequently) less productive doesn't justify giving Jayson Werth $126 million over 7 years. It also doesn't justify giving Hunter Pence $90 million. And if you're going to use the logic that not signing these contracts was what has done in my Phils, let me ask you this: how'd Washington finish last season with Werth hitting .340 with an OPS over 1.000 after the ASB? How'd the Giants finish with Pence in the fold with a spankin'-new contract extension?
- ewyorksockexchange - Nov 8, 2013 at 12:41 PM
I love chooch and everything he's done for the organization. He is one of the major reasons why Halladay, Lee, and Hamels have had success here in philadelphia. He calls a great game behind the plate, has been better than average with the bat, and has played fantastic defense at the catcher position. Lidge only had a perfect season because Ruiz was able to block that wild slider when it hit the dirt.
That being said, his throwing and trapping ability has diminished in the last couple of years, and at 35, his defense and hitting will only continue to decline. Anything more than a one year deal for the phils would be a mistake, and since there are certainly teams that will offer a multi year deal, he won't be back.
Thanks for the memories, Carlos. You are a local legend here in Philly. Hopefully you can come back and retire a Phillie.

I'd rather the Rangers go after someone like Ruiz, other than McCann for 100 million. I just don't see the Rangers paying for McCann when they have a youngster name Alfaro in the wings. Ruiz , also seems like he could help with the young pitching core around Arlington .. who knows though , rangers for 2014 payroll is 87m … That is not a lot for a billion dollar team

July 30, 2015
WASHINGTON (AP) - Republicans in the Senate have blocked a plan
by Democrats to pump $56 billion in government spending into the
economy through public works projects, help for the jobless and
money for states struggling with their Medicaid bills.
The 52-42 tally fell well short of the 60 votes needed to defeat
a GOP fillibuster. The White House promised a veto anyway, saying
the measure would not work and would cost too much.
The failed measure would have followed up on a bipartisan plan
enacted this winter to try to boost the economy through tax rebate
checks. With the economy still sagging, Democrats have long pressed
for a follow-up plan to extend unemployment benefits, boost food
stamp payments and build infrastructure projects like roads,
bridges, water and sewer projects and school repairs.

Nicola Upson – An Expert in Murder – New Book Release – 5/20/08
Hardcover – 5/20/08
AN EXPERT IN MURDER – A Josephine Tey Mystery – An Expert in Murder is the first in a new series which features crime writer Josephine Tey as its lead character.
It's March, 1934, and Tey is travelling from Scotland to London for the final week of her celebrated play, Richard of Bordeaux – but joy turns to horror when her arrival coincides with murder.
Detective Inspector Archie Penrose is convinced that the killing is connected to the play. Richard of Bordeaux has been the surprise hit of the season, with pacifist themes which strike a chord in a world still haunted by war, but now it seems that Josephine Tey could become the victim of her own success, as her reputation – and even her life – are put at risk.
A second murder confirms Penrose's suspicions that somewhere amongst this flamboyant theatre set is a ruthless and spiteful killer. As his investigations lead him from the romance of the West End to the stark reality of the trenches, he and Tey must confront their own ghosts in a search for someone who will stop at nothing to right the wrongs of a past generation
Cleverly blending elements of the Golden Age author's real life with a fictional murder mystery, An Expert in Murder is both a tribute to one of the most enduringly popular writers of crime and a richly atmospheric detective novel in its own right
Nicola Upson was born in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, and read English at Downing College, Cambridge. She has worked in theatre and as a freelance journalist, and is the author of two non-fiction works, and the recipient of an Escalator Award from Arts Council England.
Since discovering the work of Golden Age author Josephine Tey/Gordon Daviot, she has developed a passion for the theatre and literature of the period, and an admiration for those who wrote and performed between the wars. Her research has included many conversations with people who remember the time and who knew Josephine Tey, including Sir John Gielgud and Margaret Harris, one of the design team 'Motley'.
She lives with her partner and splits her time between Cambridge and Cornwall, where the next novel in the series is set.
