When did the trademark of Robin Hood appear?
And how did the first woods look like?
Scientists have now found complete fossils of the world's oldest forest, during the Devonian era, 385 million years ago.
But this forest may have looked like young palm trees as it was made of slender trees about three stories tall and with a top made of branches lacking leaves that resembled bottlebrushes.
Two newfound fossils have delivered unprecedented clues about how the first forests looked like. "What it looks like is a palm tree, or perhaps a tree fern," said the study's lead author, paleobotanist William Stein at Binghamton University in New York. "It's a kind of morphology that's instantly recognizable among some modern groups [of trees]. The bottlebrush-like branches likely used photosynthesis and produced spores," Stein said.
The fossils discovered in New York State are similar to 385-million-year-old fossilized stumps found one hundred years ago in the nearby town of Gilboa.
But till this discovery, scientists could only guess how Eospermatopteris looked like. "What we found in the last couple of years was evidence of what the top of these things looked like. They indicate the fossil trees belong to a previously known plant group called cladoxylopsids," Stein said.
"Scientists suspected the fernlike cladoxylopsids were large, but experts never had more than the branches to work with. What we got here is like a double whammy. On the one hand, we know Eospermatopteris is these great stumps. On the other hand we have real evidence for how big the cladoxylopsids actually were."
"The new fossils are surprising because they indicate Earth's first trees evolved without the aid of leaves and horizontal branches. It was probably so advantageous to be bigger than the others that they achieved [height] even if they didn't have the proper organs," said co-author Brigitte Meyer-Berthaud, a paleobotanist with the National Center for Scientific Research in Montpellier, France.
She discovered in 1999 another species, Archaeopteris, described as the world's most ancient tree.
Archaeopteris, dated 385-359 million years ago, presented horizontal branches, leaves and a vast root system, considered to be crucial traits to grow in a treelike stature.
Cladoxylopsids, including Eospermatopteris, were spread worldwide 400 to 385 million years ago. "These early trees played a major role in establishing Earth's first terrestrial ecosystems. Trees really dominate those kinds of environments they're found in. They really are the entire fabric in which an entire ecology fits in a terrestrial realm," he said.
Since Eospermatopteris lacked leaves, the forest floor was well sunned and the trees likely dropped their branches, the way modern trees drop their leaves, in one or more years' cycles, delivering a woody litter, providing habitat for many primitive arthropods, like spiders and insects. "The traits of the Gilboa trees are found in many tree types throughout history. [The traits] cannot all be traced back to the same common ancestor, so it's clearly a recurrent evolved form. The reason for that is probably ecology, probably something to do with a way of being a large tree or a large plant", said Stein.

NEW YORK (AP) — Chipotle restaurants are ringing up more sales than ever before.
The chain said Thursday that sales at established locations rose 13.4 percent in the first quarter as it saw an increase in customer visits. Sales at established locations are an important indicator of a company's financial health because the metric strips out the volatility of newly opened and closed locations.
In a call with analysts, Chipotle's Chief Financial Officer Jack Hartung said the strong performance pushed the company's average annual sales to more than $2.2 million per restaurant for the first time. That's compared with less than $1.5 million in 2006.
Exactly how much money a restaurant pulls in each year varies depending on several factors. Aside from its popularity and the prices it charges, a big differentiator can be how long it's open throughout the day. McDonald's, for instance, has long outpaced Burger King and Wendy's in part because of the popularity of its breakfast menu. It's why Taco Bell recently decided to start opening its stores a few hours earlier to offer items like a waffle taco.
As long as companies are paying for fixed costs like rent, the idea is that they want to do as much business as possible.
Maximizing sales is also why companies talk so much about improving "throughput" – how quickly they can ring up orders so people aren't waiting in line (and potentially walking away). In the first quarter, Chipotle said it increased the number of transactions it handles during the peak lunch hour of noon to 1 p.m. on Fridays, one of its busiest days.
Here's a look at the average annual sales per restaurant for 2013, according to restaurant industry tracker Technomic:
-Starbucks – $13.1 million
-Panera $2.52 million
-McDonald's – $2.5 million
-Chipotle – $2.17 million
-Wendy's – $1.51 million
-Taco Bell – $1.41 million
-Burger King – $1.2 million

The Marijuana BowlPermalink +
Sun, Jan 19, 2014, 9:39 pm // John Servais
Too funny to ignore. Checking news web sites in the hour after the Seahawks win shows only the British and the online Seattle PI willing to point out the elephant in the room. The Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks, representing Colorado and Washington states, the only two states in the Union to legalize the enjoyment of marijuana, have their teams in the Super Bowl. Awesome.
Well, the straight laced media may choke on the entertainment value of this, but I'll bet the next two weeks reveal much fun in alternative media. And it will very effectively put this issue of a benign and enjoyable smoke right in front of all Americans and others around the world. The criminalization of weed would be a minor comedy except for the absurdly serious imprisonment of thousands - hundreds of thousands - of innocent and law abiding citizens. And the absurd reluctance of local police and elected officials everywhere to get real and accept the legalization of pot.
Weed Bowl, Bong Bowl, Stoner Bowl, and of course - This Bud's for You. All too funny. Really nice.

Let me be blunt, the Seahawks are going to smoke the Broncos. I mean, that score is going to be really really high.

Climate Change and Agriculture
Impacts, Adaptation and Mitigation
Climate change is likely to have significant impacts on the agricultural sector to which farmers will have to adapt. While agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, it is also a source of carbon storage in soils. This report examines the economic and policy issues related to the impacts of climate change on agriculture and adaptation responses and to the mitigation of greenhouse gases from agriculture. It outlines research undertaken and underway in other national and international research agencies. It also highlights some of the knowledge gaps on the impacts of climate change on food production and the uncertainties of those impacts in a global context that warrant further research efforts. In particular, the report analyses marginal abatement cost curves, which show the relative costs of achieving reductions in greenhouse gas emission through the implementation of different actions in the agricultural sector. The aim of the report is to help guide policy makers in the design of policies to address climate change issues in agriculture.less

Toronto – The Canadian Opera Company's 2011/2012 spring season opens with one of the great operatic masterpieces of the 19th century, Jacques Offenbach's The Tales of Hoffmann. This darkly romantic tale about a tortured artist's failure to find love makes its long-awaited return to the COC stage. Johannes Debus conducts the melody-filledscore and Lee Blakeley directs a production that takes its cues from Gothic-Romanticauthor E. T. A. Hoffmann's own work. Sung in French with English SURTITLES™, The Tales of Hoffmann runs for nine performances at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts on April 10, 14, 18, 21, 27, May 3, 6, 8 and 14, 2012.
Making his COC debut as Hoffmann, the barfly poet who spins captivating reminiscences of lost loves to his fellow drinkers, is American tenor Russell Thomas. Hailed for his "ringing top notes" (Chicago Sun-Times), described as "superb" (New York Times) and noted for performances "sung with passion" (The Times, U.K.), Thomas is one of the most exciting vocal and dramatic talents on the international opera and concert scene today. Also appearing as Hoffmann for two performances (May 3 and 8) is COC Ensemble Studio graduate tenor David Pomeroy, whose rich voice has been heard with major opera companies and orchestras across Canada and throughout the United States and Europe. Pomeroy made his 2009 Metropolitan Opera debut in the role of Hoffmann, following his last appearance with the COC in 2009's Madama Butterfly.

MADISON, Wis. –- Team USA and captain Jake McCabe (Eau Claire, Wis.) posted their second consecutive blowout victory at the 2013 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship on Wednesday morning, this time a 7-0 win over Czech Republic in the quarterfinals, to earn an early Thursday morning date with Canada. The winner advances to the gold medal match on Saturday, while the loser will play for bronze in Ufa, Russia.
McCabe contributed on the scoresheet for the second-straight game for Team USA, as his power-play point shot hit off a teammate and deflected to John Gaudreau. Gaudreau finished at 28 seconds of the second period to give the U.S. a 2-0 lead. McCabe has a goal and two assists through five games of the tournament.
Now the Americans face Canada, a team that defeated them, 2-1, during group play. The rematch is set for a 3 a.m. CT start on Thursday morning. The game airs live on NHL Network and on NHL.com.
The victor will play for gold against the winner of the other semifinal contest between Sweden and Russia, while the losers meet for the bronze. Those games are scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 5, with the bronze medal contest at 3 a.m. CT and the gold medal match at 7 a.m. CT.

Seattle's 'poison' NBA plan
SEATTLE — A group of prominent local businessmen, including an attorney representing this city, discussed a "poisoned well" plan aimed partly at forcing the Oklahoma City-based owners of the SuperSonics to sell the NBA team rather than move it to their hometown.
Testimony in federal court here Friday also revealed that Wally Walker, a former star player and executive for the team, was given the duty of driving a "wedge" between the NBA and the Sonics' owners before a critical vote by NBA owners on whether the team could relocate to Oklahoma City. Attorneys for the owners kept Walker and local real estate developer Matt Griffin on the witness stand for hours as part of their strategy to show Seattle had "unclean hands" when it filed suit against the owners to force the Sonics to play out the last two years of the team's lease at a city-controlled arena. The attorneys sought to show the city was involved in a plan to keep the Sonics here for two years to "bleed" the owners and put the lead owner, Oklahoma City investor Clay Bennett, "in a box." The link made by the attorneys to the city was former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton, who was hired by the city last fall after the Sonics sought arbitration to get out of the lease. At a news conference after Friday's testimony, Paul Lawrence, an attorney for the city, told reporters that the city didn't have unclean hands and had never been involved in the plans discussed in court. Lawrence said the city had made clear right after Bennett bought the team in 2006 that it wanted the lease, which runs through the 2009-2010 season, honored. Lawrence said the city didn't file suit until after Bennett's group took action to get out the lease. The trial over whether the Sonics must stay here for another two years is set to resume on Thursday, for one day, for more testimony and closing arguments. U.S. District Judge Marsha Pechman is not expected to rule that day.
The 'poisoned well' planGorton was present at a meeting at Walker's house last October when Mike McGavick, a former executive at the Safeco Insurance Co., presented a plan called "The Sonics Challenge: Why a Poisoned Well Affords a Unique Opportunity." Also present at the meeting was Microsoft Corp. executive Steve Ballmer, who had been asked to consider heading up a local ownership group to buy the team and keep it in Seattle. Parts of the plan shown in court said: •"For the best likely outcome, two things have to happen next: Oklahomans have to be willing to sell and the public folks have to do the right thing." •"The critical path is to separate the NBA from the Oklahomans, while increasing the exposure of both." •"The city (of Seattle) has taken the first of several steps and is about to take the second. First, they hired Slade Gorton and used the misstep of an out-of-state arbitration filing to file suit, increasing the prospect of locking (the owners) into losses in Seattle; This also exposes the league to embarrassment in a market they like." •"So it is a pincer movement — increasing the Oklahomans' costs in an unpleasant environment while increasing the league's belief that an alternative solution gives it a good new owner and keeps it in a desirable market." Owners' attorneys showed other e-mails from Griffin to Ballmer and from Gorton to Griffin and others talking about the option of bleeding Bennett as a way of forcing him to sell. In an e-mail from Gorton to Griffin and others, the former senator wrote: "Bennett will sell at a reasonable price only if pressured by the NBA or if he faces an expensive and unpleasant legal future." In that same e-mail, sent last December, Gorton said, "Bennett owns the team, wants it in Oklahoma City and sees relatively clear sailing to the NBA approval except for our lawsuit, which at best can delay his move and make it more costly." Brad Keller, an attorney for the owners, questioned Griffin, a civic leader here, about the e-mail: "You didn't have a lawsuit pending did you?" "No," Griffin said. Keller asked, "So when he said 'our lawsuit' you knew he was referring to the city's lawsuit, right?" "Yes," Griffin said. Griffin said he had discussed the "poisoned well" plan when he met with Ballmer about representing the Microsoft chief to look at options regarding the Sonics, including buying them from Bennett. Keller asked about the line in the "poisoned well" plan about locking in losses for the Oklahoma City owners. City of Seattle's 'poisoned well' documents

DevelopmentsFriday in the SuperSonics trial: •Attorneys for the Oklahoma City-based owners sought to prove a key point in their legal strategy: That Seattle had "unclean hands" when it filed a lawsuit to force the Sonics to play out the last two years of the lease at outdated KeyArena. The attorneys' contention: That the city refused to take a buy-out of the lease because it wants to bleed the owners and force them to sell the team to a local group, possibly one headed by Microsoft Corp. chief Steve Ballmer. "Unclean hands" is a defense that can be used in a contract dispute. •Former Sonics star player and front office executive Wally Walker testified that he hosted a meeting at his house in October to discuss a "poisoned well" plan that said: "For the best likely outcome, two things have to happen next: Oklahomans have to be willing to sell and the public folks have to do the right thing." •Real estate developer and civic leader Pat Griffin testified that he wrote an e-mail to Ballmer saying, "Bennett needs to sell at a reasonable price; Litigation to stay and forced bleeding of about $20 (million) per year will help." •Seattle City Councilman Nick Licata testified that he advised state legislators in 2006 against supporting a plan committing city funds to a renovation of KeyArena. Licata also testified that he doesn't think professional sports teams have the economic value to cities that some argue.

Hannah Thomas is a senior research associate at the Institute on Assets and Social Policy. Dr. Thomas' research focuses on the intersections of wealth, family and community. She explores individual and family relationships to wealth - its accumulation, depletion, and uses. She is particularly interested in the ways that access to wealth - community or individual - impacts social mobility and opportunity. To date her work has focused on how families and communities accumulate or lose wealth through housing and work. Recent publications have examined how work provides access to accumulation or depletion of wealth. Her dissertation examined the structure of global mortgage finance system and the ways it alters neighborhoods through foreclosure sales. Earlier research on families' experiences of foreclosure with the City of Boston between 2007 and 2008 revealed how homeownership can drain family wealth and leave families vulnerable to subsequent income disruptions. Dr. Thomas manages the project "Leveraging Mobility," a multi-site interview study examining the interaction of race, assets and social mobility. Prior to working at Brandeis University, she worked as a research associate for a community development organization in Maine, researching and evaluating the impacts of asset-related policies and programs. Hannah has written and published work on depletion of wealth through foreclosures, the role of quality work in building wealth, community development finance and foreclosures. She regularly presents at national meetings of asset practitioners and researchers. She is experienced in conducting qualitative research including ethnography, institutional ethnography, and in-depth interviews. She also works with quantitative data and GIS. Currently she is also a research fellow with the Center for Financial Security at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She holds a MA Cantab in Geography and an MA in Social Policy and Sociology.

This is getting out of control.
They're even posting in the "Site Being Hacked" thread.
Attention Moderators,by greenaonir aifsenghMost if not all of these SPAM posts are by the above spammer.I know its not this simple but block his user name or block his IP address!Saying "this is getting out of hand" implies that we ever had a hand on it.I say again, we need to oversee the posts of people new to the forum. Let the noobies view the content that is freely available but moderate and approve their posts for a period of time before allowing free accesss to posting JUNK like these SPAM posts. We can't keep letting stuff like this happen to these forums and expect any new "serious" interested guests or prospective members to even consider BPL as a helpful or informative website.There is a page and half when I last looked of JUNK on the recent posts listing!Uncle Jed Clampett said it best, "Pitiful, just pitiful"!Party On ;-?Newton

This does seem more like a malicious attack rather than a simple spammer.Who is a moderator besides Roger? I sent him a PM but he's obviously not at home (it's midday tomorrow where he is).More moderators are needed here!Edit: I see the poster's name just got changed to SPAM, which at least means the incoming flow has been stopped!Second massive attack in 5 days, and I'll bet it's the same outfit!

Archaic forum softwareA single moderatorHandicaps placed on that single moderatorFrankly, I'm surprised this site isn't more popular with spammers.
Hi all> I know its not this simple but block his user name or block his IP address!As soon as I am notified I block the poster from sending any more. That's simple.The problem is that sometimes they post while I am asleep - literally, as I live in Australia. Other times I am out working on the farm or something. So someitmes they have a window to work in.When it was just one or two postings I was able to delete them by hand. I imagine you will all understand that with a spam attack of this magnitude I simply don't have the hours in the day to delete each one separately. (In case you are wondering, I am not paid for this.) I have asked Ryan J to organise some way for me to 'delete all postings by X'. I have no idea whether this is even possible with the Forum SW we have.Moderation: well, that is tricky. What happens when I am away for a week in the bush? A new reader would have to wait till I come back. Is this acceptable? Even if we put that in place, all they have to do is register half a dozen names, wait until those names are approved, then let rip using one name after another.On low traffic sites new registrants have to have their first dozen postings 'approved'. But with the number of new registrations we get every day, that would become a full-time job (=$$$). Problems, problems...CheersRoger Caffin

If even a quarter of those new registrations are paying members reinvest those funds into the software and / or a compensated moderator position.I always try to be positive, informative and helpful when I can on this forum. I apologize for the tone of this post. I know that this problem isn't easily fixed but it needs to have the proper tools put into place for the fix.Party On,Newton

@ John Remember RJ's letter to MLifer's? He said there will be no changes for the next long while. (can't give specifics here as RJ thinks it's top secret) I've volunteered for moderator a few times through the years. I'm here enough, could do something actually productive.
Learn SQL and you can delete all posts from a single User (or any number of users) from your DB in less than a second. It is a trivially simple thing to do. You can also filter new posts containing certain keywords (I.e. "Tiffany") from "new" users and throw them into a moderation queue without much effort.Adding more moderators cleans up the mess, but why not solve the problem.
The proliferation of new spam attacks is directly related to the maintenance of the first wave of posts without deletion. It may be a PITA to delete posts, one by one, but I strongly suggest whoever has that capability being doing that in batches of time you can tolerate, immediately. Wait another week without action and the forums will be obliterated. BTW, I am aware of the shortcomings in the CMS and BBS software, but the point here is that -- so are others. (In the event owner/admins read here, I renew my free offer from the mega thread about M...)
Since the messages remain, if the intention is to Optimize Serach Engine results, well, they've succeeded.Maybe Ryan could even get a volunteer to create a one click method to delete user and all their posts.
Does BPL need some volunteer mods? I would volunteer. I am online most days for many hours and have time to delete some of these SPAM posts. I would agree to only address the SPAM posts and to relinquish moderator status after the spam attacks stop. If that would help. I do have experience as a moderator, I am an admin on another forum although I believe the software is somewhat different but probably has similar functions that I could learn quickly.
I'll volunteer to be a moderator.And delete any posts I disagree with : )
bpl is getting hit by not running its own forum software. These are all fully automated attacks, it's useful to stop thinking of spammers as people, the stuff is done by tools running automatically through lists of targets, and other lists of targetted links and search phrases, with some customization possible. The spamming software tools used just saw a huge improvement in quality, far more robust than they used to be, Russians tend to be very good at this game.By allowing posts to remain, you are providing a high quality target in terms of seo (search engine optimization, aka, spammers) with high value pages, about the best they could hope for. You need to remove all spam postings as soon as you humanly can, deputize a few people if you need to, otherwise you going to have even worse problems. Remember, a spam posting is NEVER made by a real person, so the procedure should always be this: detect new spammer username, get list of all posts done by user, freeze user asap, but do not delete yet, then delete all postings by that user, then delete the user, tedious, but if you do it fast enough, not too bad usually. Also, they don't usually post too much until they think they can get away with it.I've pm'ed roger about some technical issues that don't benefit from public discussion, but if you don't get a handle on this quickly you may have bigger problems.Flagging postings etc does little good, though it can help find postings that the mods may have missed. Ignoring or leaving up spam postings, as bpl has been doing, is NOT one your options, unless you want to terminate this site and move on with life.
Captcha, or "challenge-response", would do the trick...PITA, but so was last night."Get a Free CAPTCHA For Your Site""A free, secure and accessible CAPTCHA implementation is available from the reCAPTCHA project. Easy to install plugins and controls are available for WordPress, MediaWiki, PHP, ASP.NET, Perl, Python, Java, and many other environments. reCAPTCHA also comes with an audio test to ensure that blind users can freely navigate your site. reCAPTCHA is our officially recommended CAPTCHA implementation." CAPTCHA
Edited by greg23 on 10/15/2012 14:41:23 MDT.
nothing you believe will work works, trust me on this. Captcha's make them laugh. Google did some very advanced ones and they had them cracked, full automation, within weeks, maybe days. That's why spammers like using automatically generated gmail accounts so much. Even when captchas did work, briefly, they just would pass it to a low paid drone somewhere to fill the stuff out, then pass it back, but they don't need to do that anymore. Most turing test type question/answer stuff also doesn't work anymore, though some does if done right, at least for automated attacks.The takeaway when dealing with spammer and virus authors and so on is to realize that they are really far ahead of you, always. That's because they do it for a living, and have more incentive to stay ahead....Yes, recaptcha was what was cracked in the latest versions of the spamming software, again, using those methods doesn't work. Hasn't for years. Might work until the next software update is released for new stuff, but recaptcha was specifically noted as a feature that was cracked.The ways that work, by the way, have also been known for years, and they don't include relying on captchas.

I too, moderate on other forums and would be happy to have a "delete" button for these clear-cut cases. I DON'T want to police other issues, but as has been pointed out, there's sort of yeast-growth law to these attacks and there's much less clean-up the sooner you get started. Ideally you'd have people throughout the time zones - Roger is obviously up while most of us sleep. Here in Alaska, I'm often up when the forum has quieted down between 48-state and Aussie waking hours.
So here's a question....if we were to have a few moderators and as moderators do, they police the site. If someone gets snippy or downright awfully rude.....And that person was a subscriber or a MLIFE person, and they had to be banned. How would that happen. Do you refund the person? Dunno I don't like the idea of others defining behavior on here. I feel we do a good enough job self policing. As for the spam? That is quite disheartening to see. But how often does this happen? Moderator? No
Edited by kennyhel77 on 10/15/2012 20:31:22 MDT.
People have been recommending and volunteering for moderators for at least the past year. Most of the recommendations here have been recommended in other threads as well. Some of the recommendations may cost more or require more technical prowess than Ryan or Addie can provide. Extra moderation is free.For new guests and guests that were once paying members, how would you feel about paying for MLIFE membership on a site that won't even take easy free steps to keep it viable? With the payoff being 5 years, I can't see this site lasting that long regardless of membership. With this kind of response to spam, a malicious attack by an amateur may be all it takes to end this site permanently.The point is, the response to spam doesn't inspire confidence. It makes me regret that I paid BPL with a credit card in the past. I've since had to cancel that credit card. I'm not saying the fraudulent activity on my credit card was the fault of BPL due to lax security as I simply don't know, but it wouldn't surprise me if it was. There's no way I'm renewing my membership unless I can pay via Paypal or some other reputable intermediary.

Computer maker Dell announced recently that it had made the first steps into the smartphone market with the launch of its new Mini 3 handsets. According to the company, the phones are to be launched in China on the airwaves of China Mobile, as well as in Brazil, with Claro, which is part of the largest mobile phone network in the Americas, America Movil.
According to Dell, the launch of Mini 3 shows the company's commitment to mobile devices and to Internet services through its partnership with carriers around the world. The company was the first to use China Mobile's 3G technology and services into a series of netbooks, and it also has agreements with carriers like Vodafone in Europe; Australia/New Zealand, AT&T and Verizon in the U.S.; M1 and Starhub in Singapore; and Maxis in Malaysia, which enable it to deliver more options for those who want to be connected.
"Our entry into the smart phone category is a logical extension of Dell's consumer product evolution over the past two years," Ron Garriques, president, Dell Global Consumer Group, said. "We are developing smaller and smarter mobile products that enable our customers to take their internet experience out of the home and do the things they want to do whenever and wherever they want."
The first Mini 3 smartphones came to the market with the Android operating system on board, the company added. This way, the handsets deliver an enhanced power, flexibility and customization options for users. In addition, the devices also came with an elegant style, the computer maker announced. Additional details on the phones will be delivered by the company's carriers as soon as they are getting ready to become available for purchase, namely in November in China and before the end of the year in Brazil.
"This signals an important milestone in the long term partnership between China Mobile and Dell," a China Mobile spokesperson added. "We are excited for Dell to be among the first manufacturers to introduce new technology based on the OPhone platform. We look forward to working with Dell as it brings innovative new products and services to add value to our customers' lives."

From very early on in Maurice Ravel's career it was clear that he was excited by the orchestra's capacity for passion, exoticism and excess, and that strings, wind and brass, unlike the piano, sustain sounds. He was a master of orchestration and one of his favourite occupations was orchestrating his own piano music. Most of the works in this superb collection were originally written for the piano, with the exception of the three ballets.
Many of Ravel's greatest works for orchestra are here, including pieces inspired by his Spanish background, Boléro, Alborada del gracioso, and his homage to Spain, the Rapsodie Espagnole. The collection also features one of Ravel's most astonishing achievements, the Valses nobles et sentimentales: a set of seven sparing and dissonant waltzes, Daphnis et Chloé, the sumptuous full-length ballet he wrote for the Ballet Russes, and the dark and menacing portrait of the dance – La valse.

Families Weekend '96 has record guest attendance
Rice first hosted a series of events targeted at students' families about 15 years ago. What began as "Parents' Weekend" only had around three events until four years ago when the Families Weekend Committee added, among other events, the campus lecture series and a campus-wide party. Panel discussions at each college recently replaced an assembly on student life.
"We have tried to let parents experience as complete a picture of college life as possible," Associate Director of University Events Jennifer Harding said. In 1993, the committee changed the name from Parents' Weekend to Families Weekend to indicate the inclusion of other family members and guests.
Some of this year's highlights were the Tailgate Barbecue, the showcase of the Gardiner Symonds Teaching Laboratory, the Leadership Rice panel discussion, brunch in the colleges and the Rice vs. University of New Mexico football game. Cultural presentations included the Wiess One-Acts, the Rice Players' The Madwoman of Chaillot and a concert by the Shepherd School Symphony Orchestra.
"My assessment of the weekend is that it was very successful," Harding said. "It really showcased the best of Rice for the families and guests. It shows them that Rice has more to offer than academics."
Brown College freshman Wendy Van de Kerckhove's mother, Carole said, "It gave me a feeling for the kind of life that my daughter was leading after she had settled in and an opportunity for me to see that things were going OK for her."
The Families Weekend Committee, whose members include students, college masters, Harding and Vice President for Student Affairs Zenaido Camancho, will begin designing next year's program after Homecoming.
They will consider feedback from parents and students and attendance figures in deciding what to change.
