- How to Read a Study Record
This clinical trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter, study. After informed consent is obtained, patients will be evaluated for eligibility based on glaucoma severity, eye health, and visual acuity. Following successful screening, use of all topical glaucoma medications will be stopped for a period of "washout" to establish a qualifying medication-free intraocular pressure (IOP) value. Clinical follow up will be scheduled over the course of the 24 month study, and examinations will be repeated to monitor eye health. At the 1 and 2 year follow up, those patients on ocular hypotensive medications will be instructed to washout, and then have the diurnal (IOP taken in the morning, mid-day, and afternoon in the same day) IOP evaluation. Annual follow up will occur up to 5 years. The primary effectiveness endpoint is a decrease in diurnal IOP from baseline compared to the 24 months diurnal IOP following medication washout.

Cumbria firm wins deal to roof Australia Prime Minister's home
Last updated at 17:11, Monday, 08 October 2012
STONE quarried from Cumbria soil at Kirkby has been shipped 10,500 miles around the world where it will take pride of place on the roof of the Australian prime minister's official residence.
Kirkby based company Burlington Stone recently filled a £140,000 order to supply 17,100 tiles made out of its famous Westmorland green slate.
The 450-million-year-old stone will be used to tile the roof of The Lodge in Canberra, which is occupied by Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
Burlington Stone's marketing director Sally Finney said the Westmorland variety of stone was in huge demand both nationally and internationally.
She said this latest high-profile international order was a measure of not just the stone's amazing natural attributes, but the company's outstanding craftsmanship.
"We then sell our finished stones throughout the world and it's not just roofing slates that we supply, but stone that can be used for internal and external applications," she said.
"We quarry all our stone from quarries in the Lake District and offer 11 natural stones. All of those stones are processed here at Kirkby using craftsmen with a lot of experience."
The Lodge was built in 1927 as a temporary residence "until such time as a monumental prime minister's residence" was constructed.
However, the "monumental" living quarters envisaged never materialised and the 40-room Georgian revival-style mansion became the elected prime minister's official abode.
Burlington Stone itself has a rich history, having been founded in 1843 by William Cavendish, the Second Earl of Burlington. The company remains in the hands of the Cavendish family.
While locals might have noticed the stunning Westmorland stone adorning numerous Cumbrian buildings, it is also a fixture on some of London's most recognisable landmarks.
London's Tower Bridge and St Pancras Station are inextricably linked to Cumbria through their slate roofs.

I'm quite happy to report that I'm off for Michigan for the first time in all my days on Wednesday. Online editor Amanda Dameron and I are off to film the third and final installment of our color theory video series The Full Spectrum in Holland and Zeeland, Michigan, on the grounds of the eminent furniture maker Herman Miller.
Amanda claims that she'll be outside my apartment at 4:30 AM on Wednesday to pick me up for our flight to Grand Rapids, and I'm hoping that I'm in fine enough fettle for the filming the next day. I'm quite excited to see the Herman Miller facilities and archives and talk color with Susan Lyons, who specializes in the stuff.
I'm also quite curious to see the turn-of-the-century Marigold Lodge just on Lake Macatawa that Herman Miller runs for their out-of-town guests.
After that I'll be headed north to Midland, Michigan, to visit the Alden B. Dow Foundation and home. It looks pretty groovy and I'm quite excited to see it in person. I'll be reporting from the road, of course, but if any of you out there have suggestions on what to see or do in Holland, Zeeland, Grand Rapids, or Midland, don't keep quiet.
You can leave a comment on this post, or keep in touch with me on Twitter. I'm The Pocket Square. More from the Great Lakes State once I get there!

Ahhh, one moment, jeune fille avec les cheveux rouges, while I introduce this edition...
Kim Bates, our Music Editor, has returned from the Winnipeg Folk Festival and has been busy editing our music reviews for your reading pleasure, and while we may have naught for books this time around, never fear. Come the first issue of August we'll be back with book reviews aplenty! We'll cover the spectrum from a look back at the heyday of Robert Silverberg and Hentry Kuttner's careers to the cutting edge of indie chapbooks today and just about everything in between. Well, okay, maybe not everything in between, but still a fair sampling of a number of genres, including historical, superanatural romance, non-fiction, mystery and even good old-fashioned fantasy. A little something for everyone!
But first a look at why danser avec des ours down in Oberon's Wood is a good thing indeed...
For the longest time this year, summer fluttered her wings against the panes of spring. Now, sunlight lingers long and hot. Afternoons stretch like thrice-pulled saltwater taffy, and the days here at the Green Man have become the drowsy, heat-sleepy days of our warmest season. There is no doubt, when the air is heavy and breath comes languid from the lungs -- warmth exhaled into warmth, drawn in as warmth again -- that those fluttering wings have long since spread, unfurled across the land and become the too-heavy blanket of unfettered summer.
What does one do when the mind and body fall prey to the slow, hot haze of summer days? One waits, of course. One waits for the sun to sink, and for the stars to creep into his vacant seat. One watches the moon rise to hang low and globular in the nighttime sky like overripe fruit, illuminating all of Oberon's wood. And when the hands of the clock in the Green Man hall meet in the middle of Time -- at midnight -- one goes to the party.
You may not have realized you were invited: you may not have paid close enough attention to your dreams of late. That's how such invitations are customarily delivered; in dreams. In fact, you're invited every year, though also never, as Time shows far less consideration for human convention inside dreams and the realm of the Consort to the Faerie Queen.
But perhaps you have attended our parties, after all. It may simply be that later, waking, you dismissed your recollections as mere fancy, or the common (if dreams are ever common) workings of a mind at sleep. Perhaps you recall dancing with a particularly fine gentleman of a bear? The one in the lavender waistcoat? His great, huge paws rested gentle as thistledown upon your shoulders, and he led you in a most divine waltz beneath the trees. (Though he's not quite so light upon his feet as the sylph; who would be?)
No? If it wasn't the bear with whom you danced, might it have been the undine? Not you? Well, if you're sure. They have beautiful voices, those water nymphs, and there really is nothing quite so lovely as a midnight water-waltz on the banks of the old millpond in Oberon's wood. Enough Dragon's Breath Stout and a few turns about the pond, and a man could forget more or less everything he nearly thought he'd hardly ever remembered, almost...
This year we're keeping the festivities simple. Our twelve bands have been booked, both human and fey (and three who refuse to be classified as either). The instruments await: the pennywhistle, the concertina, the dulcimer, the zither. The autoharp, the theremin, the ocarina and the drum. This year there are mad rumors of an invisible gargantuan harpsichord, to be played by a thousand invisible fingers.
But rumors are just that. Such an appearance (so to speak) remains highly unlikely, in the main.
If good food is what you seek, our twelve over-burdened wicker hampers have been packed. (The things are massive! Someone -- we won't say who -- wanted to hire a dozen elephants to bear the load! Elephants, in Oberon's Wood! Perish the thought. The Ents were more than happy to volunteer for the task, once the need was made clear.) When entering the fey-touched realms, one usually feels more comfortable taking food with, though there are plenty here at the Green Man who scoff at the dangers. In fact, more than one on the Green Man staff has been seen to consume quite copious amounts of fey-wrought food, and even more copious amounts of intoxicating beverages of questionable origin. We've not lost anyone yet for more than a fortnight, to our knowledge. Faerie prerogative? Perhaps. You're more than welcome to come find out for yourself; to each his -- or her -- own. As has already been explained, you're always invited, and never. It's up to you.
David Kidney, Master Reviewer and Music Production Editor, here speaking to you from his desk, just before leaving on two weeks' holiday. As we prepare for our vacation to Manhattan, the excitement is palpable. We have our currency exchanged, and the clothes we're going to take are in the laundry hamper, ready to be washed, and packed. I bought myself an MP3 player, finally, after what seems like years of ignoring them, and then weeks of selecting the right one...and I've spent those same weeks creating a playlist, that would suit me on this trip. Trouble is...there's just so darn much music out there. I went with a 4 GB player because 500 songs just wasn't enough. Every time I thought I had it figured out, I'd browse through my CD collection and see another album or two that just HAD to be represented!
And that's a big part of the challenge of writing for GMR. There's new stuff coming in every week, nay, virtually every DAY! Look at the list of musical offerings our staff has reviewed this time...
Donna Bird leads off this batch of music reviews with some Scottish accordion music. I have to confess, I thought there was a typo in the headline, but...nope...it's The Sensational Jimi Shandrix Experience and the album is called Electric Landlady. Donna was confused too...'The band's name, the album title and the very strange cover art, somewhere between psychedelic and Weird Al Yankovic, confused the hell out of those of us who are old enough to remember Electric Ladyland, the 1968 masterpiece by the Jimi Hendrix Experience.' Anyway...once we all got that sorted out...there was a rush to borrow Donna's copy of Shandrix's CD. Read her review to discover why!
Denise Dutton has a look at another of Raven Records' re-issue two-fers. This time it's Gary Stewart and Dean Dillon, Brotherly Love / Those Were the Days. Their brand of honky-tonk seems to have sparked Denise somewhat, 'You can almost smell the sawdust and beer...this CD has me up for some good old low-down music myself. I'll be the gal in the back of the joint picking out certain George Jones songs on the jukebox 'til the band of the night's next set comes along.' Read the whole review here.
My first CD review this issue is of the newly expanded, re-issued tribute to my favourite cowboy. The Riders In The Sky released Public Cowboy #1 ten years ago, but 2007 is Gene Autry's centennial, so they added a track or two, some new artwork, liner notes, and put this one back on the market. Is it any good? Well, you'll have to read my review , but I'll give you a hint, 'If you remember Gene Autry and the days of the classic western -- or if you just want to relax to some quiet, if a bit hokey, music -- this is just the ticket.'
Then I listened to 70s Soul which is one title in a new series called Number 1s. That's right 1s. The big numeral 1 is the sign you've found the right series. The digit is cutout as part of the cover design for each of the individual CDs. I liked this one because it 'is filled with 18 funky tunes, and not necessarily the ones you might be expecting.' Read my review to find out which ones (1s) they picked!
Peter Massey writes about something that's not a folk album, but definitely worth a listen. And that's Catherine Howe's Princelet Street about which Peter says, 'I asked to review this album...only because 30 years ago I used to park in Princelet Street and indeed I recall getting a parking fine for doing so...Princelet Street... is...only really famous for being the stalking ground of Jack the Ripper!' Turns out, the album isn't about Jack, it's not about parking tickets either...but...well, why'n't you read for yourself what Peter says about it.
Mr. Massey also writes about some new Canadian music, Terry Tufts' The Better Fight, and he has some Tufts' inspired suggestions for how you might dispose of it, if you don't enjoy it. You can read all about them in the review here, but based on Peter's comments about the, 'new wave, contemporary acoustic folk style on the rest of the album, which is essentially very North American and easy listening...put[s] me in mind of Tom Paxton and Gordon Lightfoot with a nice clear concise delivery that never sounds strained,' you're advised to read the whole review.
Next up is Danansooz At Last CD, reviewed by Lars Nilsson. He confesses that while '...there are a few lows as well on the record...this a good debut album by any standards...they might even establish themselves as a big name on the folk scene. I am already waiting for the next one.' Don't know Danansooz? Find out about them here.
Lars tackled >Music from a Small Island by Simon Mayor with Hilary James for his next assignment. He says, '...if you like real people playing real music without worrying a second about what is popular or fashionable...' then this might be an album for you. Read the rest of what he said, here.
Here's a couple of albums of Welsh music also reviewed by Lars. Allan Yn Y Fan's Belonging and Aros by Delyth Jenkins are both recommended by Lars. He says, 'it is difficult to pick out individual tracks...[but] it works very well as a whole,' about Belonging and that Jenkins's album is 'filled with great tunes and lovely performances.' But to read the details, you'll need to go thisaway.
If you were wondering about a definition of what a lullaby is, you might want to check out Lars's look at Kelly Hood (and friends) Little Woolly Lullabyes. 'Here we have an album of...lullabies, in this case Scottish and Irish ones, with the bagpipes, an instrument that once was used to get signals through to troops during raging battles, as one of the main instruments. Am I missing something?' Go here to find out what Lars missed.
Lars Nilsson might have missed loud lullabyes but he sure got the CDs in the mail. He reviews Eddi Reader's Peacetime too. '[She] must be one of the greatest singers of our time.' Lars declares 'With more than 20 years of experience from rock, folk-rock and folk, and with more than a little jazzy influences in her music it is a wonder that she has remained a secret for the vast majority of the CD-buying public.' Well, judging by Lars' review she won't remain a secret much longer. Read his rave here.
And there you have it, a batch of new releases to ease the summer doldrums. Pour yourself a tall cold one, and settle back with any of these CDs. Me? I'm busy adding a couple of tracks from Public Cowboy #1 to my MP3 player. After that, I'm gonna borrow that Lullabyes disc...
Orla Melling has a reading recommendation for all of us: 'The Endicott Studio's summer edition of the Journal of Mythic Arts is up and it is, as always, a treasure trove of stories, poetry, critical essays, and fabulous illustrations. This edition is specially dedicated to Young Adult fiction and they've included excerpts from The Light-Bearer's Daughter accompanied by two beautiful pictures. Do pop over and have a look (at all of it, I mean, not just my bit!) here. I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and sit down for a great read.' Our review of Melling's The Chronicles Of Faerie are thisaway.
From the liner notes to Y Ffordd I Aberystwyth (The Road to Aberystwyth), the new recording from Robin Huw Bowen which we will be reviewing in the first edition in September. The liner notes go on to say that 'The selections on the CD are a celebration of the 20+ years he's been touring, with each track dedicated to friends and family, musicians he has worked with. The music includes hornpipes and Gypsy tunes as well as gigs and waltzes. Where would Welsh harp music be today if Robin was still working in the library rather than touring the world and spreading the word on this music?'

A long term goal of the Microbial Observatories Program is the discovery of new species. The influence of environmental gradients on microbial communities is also of interest. A powerful mechanism in the evolution of new species is geographic isolation; if species discovery is but a single goal, we might consider cultivating bacteria (Archaea and Bacteria) and describing their communities from the most isolated habitats. The fact is, however, that many of Earth's most isolated places have already been visited and extensively studied by microbiologists, e.g., Antarctica. We have instead opted to explore a much closer area, and one noted for its biodiversity.
|Fig 1. There are only five natural lakes on Hawai'i's 132 islands. We sampled Lake Laysan on Laysan Atoll, Lake Kauhako on Moloka'i, Lake Wai'ele'ele on Maui, Green Lake on Hawai'i, and an unreported anchialine pond on the Pearl and Hermes Atoll. [ Honolulu]
The Hawaiian Archipelago is widely recognized as a biodiversity 'hotspot', where some endemic Eucarya may be restricted to a single island, or even to a single location high on one volcano (Carr et al., 1989). On most Hawaiian islands one can find habitats as diverse as xerophytic deserts, grasslands, and lush rain forest, each of which may host native plant and animal species. Although plants, birds and insects present conspicuous examples of adaptive evolution in Hawai'i (e.g., Amadon, 1947), investigations of bacterial species or consortia in the islands' terrestrial habitats have not been reported. The implications for microbial diversity of plant and animal speciation in isolated regions remain unexplored (e.g,. Staley, 1997; Myers et al., 2000). Isolating novel microorganisms is not necessarily a straightforward task, since their ranges or growth requirements cannot be predicted (Bull et al., 1992). Novel microorganisms may, however, offer phylogenetic insights or new bioproducts, so habitats considered likely to host species or consortia of interest should be protected (Colwell, 2000). Such habitats should also be explored. This is true for Hawai'i, where endemic fauna and flora are considered to be at great risk of extinction, and because many islands have yet to be inventoried.
Distinct habitat types in Hawai'i may lend themselves to studies of microbial diversity. Anchialine pools for example are accessible, but although they may host unique crustaceans their littoral locations might also ensure their bacterial flora is similar to that of the adjacent ocean. In contrast to the strictly coastal anchialine pools, a type of habitat that occurs in different locations and whose each example can be differentiated by physical, chemical or climatic factors might yield a broader range of microorganisms. Areas that have been little explored and/or unaffected by human activities would also merit investigation. Sites meeting each of these criteria do exist in Hawai'i, in the form of natural lakes. Indeed, only five lakes have been described in Hawai'i (Maciolek, 1982). These lakes in fact range over 3960 m (13000 ft) elevation and 1150 nautical miles of the archipelago (Fig 1 ). All but one occur in craters, but they otherwise have little in common. Chemically, the lakes vary from freshwater to hypersaline, oxic to anaerobic, and also differ in terms of inorganic nutrient concentrations, and surrounding vegetation and animal flora. Only one lake hosts vertebrates, and even these are introduced fish. Nutrient cycling in each lake is probably dominated by bacteria since invertebrates tend also to be poorly represented. We aim to employ both molecular and cultivation techniques to describe microbial diversity within each lake water or sediment sample. Neither technique alone is able to detect all species in a sample, so we hope that by combining the two methods we will detect microorganisms that might otherwise be missed by a single method approach. Through this approach, we also aim to discover and cultivate new bacterial species. Novel species may be detected by molecular methods only, but there can be no substitute for actually having a viable microorganism in vitro. We are also establishing a collection of microorganisms from Hawaiian lakes, archiving all pure strains under glycerol or by lyophilizing. This ensures the cultures are available to other parties, and also that they may be used in other studies. For example, several have already been screened in another laboratory for activities against MRSA and other clinically important pathogens.
We believe that Hawaiian lakes
present an ideal opportunity to study microbial diversity. Their different
locations, morphometries and chemistries also facilitate studies of microbial
communities across environmental gradients. Few habitats in Hawai'i
have not been influenced by human activities, but the inaccessibility
of these lakes has ensured they remain largely pristine. Hawaiian lakes
have also been largely overlooked in the biological literature, with most
reports tending towards specific components of their biota, particularly
in Lake Waiau on the island of Hawai'i (Laws & Woodcock, 1981;
Massey, 1981; Kinzie et al., 1998). The last and most thorough summary
of Hawaiian lakes dates back 20 years, and considered only bathymetry,
chemistry and the more prominent biota (Maciolek, 1982).

Fish Passage Barrier Removal Board
The recovery of Washington's iconic salmon and steelhead depends on access to healthy fish habitat. To achieve this, state agencies, restoration groups, and local governments have each focused on removing fish passage barriers as funding becomes available. Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has found that fish barriers often remain downstream of corrected barrier projects, thus coordination is imperative to the success of opening up habitat to increase fish populations.
Mission Statement
The Fish Passage Barrier Removal Board (FBRB) created in 2SHB 2251 (RCW 77.95.160) is charged with developing a statewide strategy that will expedite the removal of human-made anadromous fish passage barriers in the most efficient manner possible. The board will focus this effort on developing a prioritized approach to barrier removal on state and local roads, and on barriers owned by private parties. In developing this approach, the board will coordinate with other salmon recovery efforts so the combined cumulative effects can result in fish passage throughout a watershed, a significant step towards salmon recovery. Once the strategy is developed, the board will review and approve projects for funding.

Dr. Philip Koi's Ratings
Dr Koi is a great doctor for treating interstitial cystitis. He is very professional and respectful of female patients, which is not always the case with urologists. He was willing to test me right away for IC, due to my symptoms. Many other urologists want to go through many other painful, but profitable tests first. Dr. Koi seemed to want to get right down to diagnosing me and treating me. He clearly wants to help his patients to feel better and I am very happy to have found him. His nurses have done bladder installation procedures on me and all of them are very kind and helpful.

I like Dr. Koi. He is not the warm and fuzzy type, you aren't going to leave laughing after a good joke or anything. However, he is to the point, professional, polite, and I would say a smart doctor. Unfortunately I will be seeing him for sometime, but he makes the visits easier. He is punctual, staff is nice. Multiple offices you can visit, and other doctors in the practice if he were to be unavailable (though that has never happened).

Welsh Experience Day for GCSE Students
On Friday 11 March the School of Welsh's annual Welsh Experience Day was held. More than 30 pupils attended, all of them preparing for their Second Language Welsh GCSE examination in the summer.
The day was an opportunity for them to practise their Welsh, learn more about the School of Welsh and about careers in the Welsh workplace. Various activities were held – workshops with our language tutors, careers sessions with the presenters of the television programme 'Stwnsh', and a computer session focussing on the 'BBC Bitesize' programme. At the end of the day there was an award ceremony for those pupils who created the best Welsh posters on the theme 'Our Area'.
Very positive feedback was received from the pupils. The day was also an opportunity for the School to reinforce its links with local second language schools.

I like a good stock market rally as much as the next investor, but here's another sign that the Fed cut rates too much, too soon.
Inflation in China — recently at 6.5% per month — could, and very likely will, spill over onto our shores.
UPDATE: I forgot to say, Whenever a government freezes prices to contain inflation, it only delays the inevitable. And also makes it worse. Today's 6.5% inflation could easily top 10% or more tomorrow. Watch China closely. Watch China's labor market even more closely. It wouldn't take much more than a minor murmur in job creation to cause some sleepless nights in Beijing.

City of Palms Classic roundup: New Jersey juggernaut rips apart Chicago-Whitney Young
FORT MYERS - Elizabeth (N.J.)-St. Patrick, ranked No. 2 nationally by ESPN, won 92-68 over Chicago-Whitney Young in this quarterfinal match behind 37 points from Western Kentucky recruit Derrick Gordon.
Gordon's output was the highest of any scorer in the first two days of the tournament. He hit 12 of 20 shots, including 6-of-9 shooting from 3-point range. Gordon added three steals.
St. Patrick, seeded second in the field and runner-up its last appearance in 2008, became the fourth team the past four years to score more than 90 points. Kentucky commitment Michael Gilchrist, rated among the top five seniors by most recruiting services, had a quiet 13 points to go along with eight rebounds and seven assists.
Sam Thompson, committed to Ohio State, had 17 points to lead Young. Paul White added 14.
* * *
Alpharetta (Ga.)-Milton 68, Fort Myers 43: The Eagles, ranked 15th in the nation by USA Today, moved into the quarterfinals with a thorough dismantling of Fort Myers. Milton took an 11-3 lead less than two minutes into the game and never looked back.
Milton's trio of Division I-bound seniors were too much for the Green Wave. Julian Royal (Georgia Tech) had 13 points and five blocks; Shannon Scott (Ohio State) had eight points, 10 rebounds and six assists; and Dai-Jon Parker (Vanderbilt) added seven points, six rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks.
Evin Graham scored 20 points to lead Fort Myers, including 12 in the second half. He was the only player with more than seven points for the Green Wave, who hit just 4 of 28 first half shots while falling behind by 25 points.
Fort Myers hasn't won in the first round of the City of Palms since 2004, dropping four straight. Last year the Green Wave lost their opening game but won two in a row to advance to the consolation finals.
Winter Park 75, Reserve (La.)-Riverside 63: It was a slow start for the Winter Park and Duke recruit Austin Rivers, but both got it going in the second half.
Rivers had two points in the first quarter and just six in the first half but finished with a game-high 28 points. The 6-foot-5 guard, ranked the No. 1 senior in the country by ESPN, hit 11 of 17 shots and had seven rebounds and five assists.
Winter Park (9-1) moved into the quarterfinals for the third straight year. The Wildcats finished third in 2008 and were runners-up last year.
With the defense focused on Rivers, Florida Atlantic commitment Brett Comer had 15 first half points and finished with 20. Rivers is now eight points shy of passing former Brooklyn (N.Y.)-Lincoln player Lance Stephenson for third place on the City of Palms' all-time scoring list.
* * *
Miami-Dr. Krop 65, North Port 57: The Lightning moved on to the consolation semifinals thanks to 24 points from Kansas State recruit Angel Rodriguez.
North Port trailed by five at halftime, but took a 52-51 lead with five minutes to play on Kasey Wilson's free throws. Dr. Krop regained the lead with three minutes left, and Rodriguez's 3-pointer with two to play sealed the victory.
Wilson, committed to Central Florida, finished with 17 points, eight rebounds and three blocks for the Bobcats. North Port's Larry Taylor had a game-high 27 points, including three 3s.

To Mets fans from 1964 to 1979, hearing those words before, during and after games at Shea Stadium became just about as identifiable a phrase as Tug McGraw's "Ya Gotta Believe!" and Bob Murphy's "Happy Recap."
"The melodies that sprung from Jane Jarvis' Thomas Organ were the true sounds of Shea," said Mets announcer Gary Cohen, who attended many games in the upper deck in his youth and heard Ms. Jarvis entertain fans with classics like "Meet The Mets" and "The Mexican Hat Dance."
"It made you feel that everything was possible."
For Jarvis, too, it was a special experience.
"I was so inspired by the wonderful joyfulness of the fans and the players," she said. "And the pride people had in that new stadium. They'd say to each other, 'Have you been out to Shea Stadium to see a game this year?'"
But after 16 wonderful years -- as the Mets went from National League doormats to world champions and back again -- her role was eliminated. From that moment on, the name Jane Jarvis was rarely heard in Flushing.
Then in late March, after more than a quarter of a century gone from the baseball spotlight, there she was in the news again when a construction crane fell onto and destroyed a building adjacent to her residence on 50th Street in Manhattan.
It was a traumatic event for Jarvis, who had to leave the comfort and safety of her home for temporary housing in various hotels until friends found her permanent residence in the Actor's Home in Englewood, N.J., where she currently resides.
But the silver lining was already apparent: Had it not been for the news of her proximity to the accident, an entire generation of Mets fans might not have heard of her again or been able to learn of her years before and after her tenure at Shea.
Her career took her to radio stations where she had her own program, "Jivin' with Jane," and to the Milwaukee Braves where she became their organist. It was then onto the Big Apple where she worked as a staff composer, arranger and executive for the Muzak Corporation.
In 1964, the Mets needed an organist for their new stadium and asked around about the best one in town. They were told, "Jarvis." She auditioned and was hired on the spot.
"I think early Mets management was aware that organist Gladys Goodding had a great following when she played at Ebbets Field," said author, baseball historian and jazz aficionado Lee Lowenfish, "and in hiring Jane they were smart to draw on another Brooklyn Dodger tradition."
Jarvis soon established herself as a member of the group of great ballpark organists that included the late Eddie Layton of the Yankees. Yet, even among them, she had a distinctive approach and repertoire that was solidly ensconced in a musical world she had studied for decades.
"Her style was a bit different from most other ballpark organists, owing to her background as a jazz musician," said Mets radio announcer Howie Rose who, like Cohen, grew up rooting for the Amazins and listening to Jarvis.
"I played all jazz tunes at Shea," she said. "There were people playing jazz tunes on the organ, but they weren't playing jazz. I was the only one."
To wit, Jarvis added: "I was the best damn organist that ever played at Shea Stadium."
Her skills and stamina were tested on the night of July 13, 1977, the New York City blackout.
In the sixth inning during a Mets-Cubs game, after lights flickered then fell dark, stadium auxiliary power provided whatever little electricity was available. Somehow, the Thomas Organ remained on, and Jarvis played for hours hoping to keep the crowd entertained and calm.
"I was literally playing in the dark," she said, thinking back on that long night when she even resorted to playing Christmas songs. "I couldn't see. But I can tell you right now, I was scared; I didn't know if my playing was sufficient (to keep the crowd relaxed)."
But it was the people she met, even more than any specific event, whom she still remembers most fondly, like the the original announcing team of Bob Murphy ("We were such good friends"), Lindsay Nelson ("A charming man who had such tragedy in his life") and Ralph Kiner ("Whenever he was honored. he made sure I was invited").
In 1980, when the Payson/de Roulet family sold the Mets to Nelson Doubleday and Fred Wilpon, the new regime inherited a team and stadium in disrepair and decided a change was in order. That included Jarvis.
"It was Frank Cashen's idea to remove the organ altogether after he took over as general manager in 1980," said Rose.
She was let go, replaced by the prerecorded music and sound effects that fill most of the Major League Baseball parks to today. (Wrigley Field's, Yankee Stadium's and a few other organs have escaped the onslaught.)
Yes, maybe gone from the baseball scene, but followers of the jazz scene knew she never left.
Jarvis continued to be a mainstay around the New York City club scene, often appearing at Zinno's in the Village with some of the top bassists of the era, recording two albums and making a name for herself.
In 1990, John S. Wilson of The New York Times wrote of her performance there, "Miss Jarvis is now a strong musical personality in her own right who can take the most familiar jazz material and move it in a strong, fresh direction."
Although Jarvis' career as a respected jazz pianist, performer and arranger was longer than the years behind the Thomas organ, it is at Shea where she earned most of her fame and developed her largest fan base.
"Jane had a delightful way of keeping the fans entertained," said Cohen, "But most important, there was a certain predictability to her selections that made you feel comfortable like your mom's pot roast."
"Jane Jarvis was a staple. Her music was an integral part of the Shea experience; clearly one of it's signatures," said Rose, who once played a recording of Jarvis for former Met Bud Harrelson only to have Harrelson tear up. "That's how much a part of the fabric she and her music were," Rose explains.
Now, as the Citi Field construction cranes continue their daily work beyond the outfield fence building a new monument to history and memory, the Mets are honoring those who made a significant contribution to the team's 44 years since moving from the Polo Grounds.
"I can't even bear to even think about it," she said, her voice filling with the emotion as she speaks about the Shea's final season. "All the memories that go with it."
The question now is whether the organization feels just as warmly about Jarvis.
"The current management group doesn't have any special feeling toward me," Jarvis said. "But I would love [to be a part of that countdown] celebration. You can't imagine what that would mean to me. I'm very frail, and I would have to have somebody walk with me.
"I think it would be wonderful if she were welcomed back as part of the countdown, or, even better, if she had a chance to play her music one last time at Shea " said Rose.
"You must remember," Jarvis said, apologizing for occasionally forgetting a name or a date, "I'm 93. It isn't that I'm senile or anything. It's just that all of this took place so long ago."
"But, you know," she adds innocently in Mets lexicon, "I've had an amazing life."
Jane Jarvis will be a part of a program at the Lincoln Center library called "Baseball and Music" on Tuesday, July 8.

You are seriously out of your depth.
I am aware they are two different shots, although yesterday at first glance I wasn't.
My point still stands, even that footage could have looked a lot nicer.
Thanks for the info on the equipment used. I certainly defer to your expertise.
I don't think anyone needs to be versed in camera equipment to know they don't care for what they see though...and I don't care for what I see.
The later shot I posted does use the same ILM filmed shot, and the difference is night and day.

Biography – Mark Richards
Terms like "mellow," "polite," "calm," or "mannerly." always seem to accompany descriptions of Mark "MR" Richards, but to see him in full "wounded gull" mode unleashing on waves from 2-25 feet, one would be hard pressed to find a worse word to describe him. Innovator of the twin fin surfboard design, member of the Aussie class of '75 who busted down the door and shattered every conceivable aspect of surfing at the time, and holder of no fewer than 4 world titles; Richards arrived on the scene at the right time and through talent and tenacity made the most of every second of one of surfing's most tumultuous eras. MR is driven and talented, for sure. But mellow? Maybe on the beach, but in the water, he's shown the world he's a beast.
Born 1957 in Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia, Mark Richards was the only child of a surfer and used car salesman who, in 1961, opened the first surf shop in town. Subsequently, little Mark was soon riding waves by age six. With natural ability and a pure devotion to the sport, MR dove in head first. Inspired by the smooth and aggressive surfing of Nat Young, Richards improved quickly, performing well from the schoolboy and cadet divisions all the way to the juniors. He eventually placed second in the juniors division at the 1972 Australian national titles (behind winner Simon Anderson) and made the national team for the world contest in California. He placed second in the 1973 Australian Open division (behind Terry Fitzgerald) and won the national junior title (placing fourth the following year).
A few years prior, MR had picked up a second passion that would help define his legacy: shaping surfboards. At 13 he received an electric planer for Christmas and was shaping his own boards by 15. At that time, professional surfing did not exist. If you wanted to live the surfing life, you had to be a shaper: that was the dream. That electric planer would prove prophetic in that Richards would, eventually, not only push the edges of surfing performance but he would also alter the path of board design.
At 15, Richards took his first trip to Hawaii with shaper Geoff McCoy. But after a harrowing session at big Sunset, he boarded a plane a week later with a new found respect for the powerful waves of the North Shore. Undeterred by the experience, MR committed himself to not simply improving his big wave attack, but, doing it better than anyone else. For Richards, winter in Hawaii was now mandatory, and he quickly tuned into the rhythm of the waves and culture on the North Shore, helping him negotiate around much of the anger the Hawaiians aimed at visiting surfers. His "mellow" presence on land served him well as good karma rolled his way. In Bustin' Down the Door, Richards writes about one such fortunate experience in 1974 when MR found himself with the possibility to fill a no-show slot for the Smirnoff Pro/Am (the implied world championship contest at the time). But with no money for the entry fee, he was poised to lose the chance of a lifetime. Fortunately, fellow Aussie, Wayne "Rabbit" Bartholomew gave him the cash. The 18 year-old Richards surfed through heat after heat before being stopped in the semi final in closing out Waimea. Richards writes, "For the only time in my career, I was praying each time my name was read, hoping that I would come in last. When my name was finally called for fourth place, I breathed a huge sigh of relief – I didn't have to go out and surf the final." He returned the following year and won both the Smirnoff Pro at Waimea and World Cup at Sunset, earning $9000, a sum unheard of for surfers in that era.
Richards' surfing style had matured into a strange but beautiful flow. At 6'1" and 175 pounds, his long lean frame looked nothing like the standard surfing athlete, but in the water, he flew across the wave with his arms outstretched and knees bent in. He drew long elegant lines which earned him the nickname, the "wounded gull." Whether it was a backhanded nickname or not, he used his unorthodox approach to dominate large surf, but in small waves he found the single fins of the time held him back and set to task coming up with a new vehicle in gutless surf.
Amidst the chaos of the 1976 North Shore surf season, Richards retreated to the Chuns Reef shaping room of one Dick Brewer, who was royalty in the shaping world at that time. MR spent a month under the tutelage of the legendary craftsman where he developed his shaping technique and honed a new design that would change the direction of surfing in the coming years. The idea was based on a board ridden in Australia by Reno Abellira earlier that year, which was short and wide with two fins. MR lengthened the design and packed it for competition. MR would later term this board his "secret weapon" and directly credited it with his competitive success in his first world tour victory in 1979.
Surfers in Hawaii knew a change had come in how these brash Aussie and South African kids were recklessly attacking every inch of the waves, but the world hadn't quite gotten the message until the 1977 release of Bill Delaney's seminal surf film Free Ride. A new crop of surf stars including Richards, Shaun Tomson, Peter "PT" Townend, Ian Cairns and Rabbit were obviously surfing more radically than Hawaiian mainstays like Hakman, Lopez, and BK. They became known as the "Free Ride" generation. Free Ride linked films like The Hot Generation before which had introduced short boards and Nat Young to the world and Momentum decades later which exposed new performance levels.
Richards dominated professional surfing from 1979 to 1982, winning in both small and large surf and holding at bay one the greatest surfers never to win a title, Cheyne Horan. Horan placed second in 1979, 1981, and 1982. During this time, MR rode brightly colored boards and infamously paddled out in a silver wetsuit brandished with a Superman symbol. He may have declined to join the Bronzed Aussies, but he was not above using flash to get press.
Shortly after winning his fourth title, early back problems came to fruition and forced his "retirement" from pro surfing. True to his "mellow" nature, his retirement included winning the Billabong Pro in 1985 and 1986. The former event was held in both giant Waimea and throttling Sunset Beach. From 2000 to 2002, MR competed in the grandmasters division of the Quiksilver Masters Surfing Championship, eventually capturing what would become essentially his fifth world title with a win in 2001.
Richards was one of the first surfers to be inducted into the Australian Surfing Hall of Fame, was granted the Order of Australia medal, and was inducted into the Huntington Beach Surfing Walk of Fame. After his record breaking title run in the 80's, MR returned to his roots in Newcastle where he now runs the surf shop his father started and shapes surfboards.
Married with three children and living life in his home town, maybe, just maybe, Mark Richards has finally mellowed out. But probably not.

From: Michael Mendlowitz, CEOCommerce Payment Systems
Dear Merchant,
If you are looking for a professional, top-quality, low cost merchant account so you can accept credit cards, I've got what you're looking for.
My name is Michael Mendlowitz. I've been helping merchants set up their businesses for eight years, and I've had thousands of conversations with people just like you. I know what you're looking for – something quick, easy, and affordable, without any of the hidden tricks or traps that most other processors stick you with.
About 8 years ago I was starting a small business just like you… and just like you, I wanted to learn everything about my industry. Yet, what I found out… to be perfectly honest… was not pretty. There were BIG banks and processors that were ripping merchants off, charging thousands of dollars for credit card terminals, locking them into long-term agreements, over-charging on discount rates, and offering virtually no customer support at all. Suffice it to say, there were a lot of angry merchants.
That is when I decided to start my company with one single focus in mind: Treat my customers how I would want them to treat me. Now, 8 years, and over 22,000 merchants later, we still stand by the very same principles. And here they are:
At Commerce Payment Systems we never try to lock you into a contract for years. If you wish to leave us (and very few do), we will let you go. There are absolutely no exit fees or fines when you terminate your agreement with us.
You owe it to yourself and your business to call and find out more about how easy it is to save money, time, hassles, and irritation when you work with an outstanding merchant account provider like us.
Call us today during business hours, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. EST at 1.866.999.4622!
I have nearly a decade of experience helping businesses get set up to take credit cards.
We want to help you get started!
No hidden charges. Ever
No start up charges. Ever
I know I've made a lot of huge claims in this letter. I know how merchants think. So I'm not counting on you to believe me without having the experience, so I invite you to see for yourself!
Call 1.866.999.4622 now. Our merchant account advisors are waiting to give your business the extra personal attention that we think it deserves.
Michael Mendlowitz, CEOCommerce Payment Systems

I was recently let go from my job. My husband and I were planning to borrow from my 401k for our first home, now we can't. Can we rollover my 401k to his?
By Heath4111 from Hoboken, NJ
Here are the recent answer to this question.
By Cathy01/29/2010
Depends on the amount, company, etc. You need to check with your HR dept that you left. If it is over a certain amount you can leave it alone, if it is with an outside company already ie Principal. Don't use it! You'll have to pay penalties and taxes that could use it all up anyway. It's hard not to be tempted but remember it's for retirement...not a short term investment. Best of luck!

If you have lost your job, can you afford to buy a house on one income? How stable is your husband's job? Think carefully before you take the jump to owing a home! Maybe you should wait? Best of luck to you and your hubby.
By susan [8]01/24/2010
Check with an accountant. In my state, you cannot do any type of rollover if you are receiving unemployment, since you are still considered an employee of that company and they have the right to recall you. Once your unemployment benefits run out or you get another job, you can roll over the money to another IRA account that is under your name. You cannot roll money over to another person's account--it would be like taking the money out (you'll have to pay taxes on it), and then putting other money into that person's account. Besides, why would you do that? Down the road, if something happened and you split, that person would get your money!
By Deanj01/22/2010
Why don't you ask a professional person such as a person from a mutual fund, a bank or a CPA that deals with IRA's? A well meaning person would like to help but gives you the wrong information it will cost you big dollars in taxes if you get it wrong. I don't think the proferssional folks would charge for a question or two or three.

I suggest to talk to your banker or put it in a federal credit union, good luck.
Thrifty Fun has been around so long that many of our pages have been reset several times. Archives are older versions of the page and the feedback that was provided then.
Unfortunately I will be losing my job on Sept 14th. My company has a 401k plan that I have never contributed to, but they apparently have been putting money in it for me for the six years I have been here. What should I do with it?

Rated 3.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by justapinch LOVE LOVE I am so happy with this purchase! Looks exactly as advertised and looks great on my stainless steel fridge! I think I need to order another set though, my spice collection is larger than I realized! July 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by CharlestonGirlie Perfect Spice Jars I was looking for a way to consolidate my spices in the pantry and had considered going magnetic but was concerned I'd have to make the whole kit myself. Fortunately for me, World Market has these little babies. They hold approximately the exact same amount as the spice jars that World Market sells so I'm able to empty the whole jar into the spice tin, thus saving significant space in my pantry. The color looks adorable on my fridge! A quick organization tip: use a label maker to keep track of which tin has what spice. July 22, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Kchrisfox Cool but lids stick I got green and blue spice tins. The magnetic part is awesome. Convenient, works just like I expected. The green ones are super. The blue ones, for some reason ALL stick. The lid fits too tightly, and turning the lid is how you dispense the spices. You twist to a perforated opening for dashes or a 1/2 in open slit for pouring/measuring. If it doesn't twist easily... Obviously, can't use an oil to loosen it up, that would get in the spices and gum up the openings. I rubbed the sides with wax paper and it improved opening for a few uses, now looks like I need to do it again. These lids seem to have been cut too tightly. December 24, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by LadyDi13 Cute, but cheaply made These are cute, but poorly made. I bought two, and the plastic part of the top had already fallen off one when I got it, making it unusable as a spice tin. However, these are so inexpensive, I didn't bother returning it. I use it to hold a pen and note paper for shopping lists, but of course that's not why I bought it. I would have preferred if the top had glass instead of plastic. I won't be buying any more of these. August 3, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by nm22 Not as described I bought 2 of these to store some loose tea. The description says they are 4 inches in diameter but they are not even close to that. They are about 2 1/8 inches high, 2 3/8 inches in diameter and one holds 3 ounces, not 9 ounces as listed. This is not what I was looking for. There is an error in the description and I hope it gets fixed. I tried twice to upload a photo but the site wouldn't cooperate. July 3, 2014

BANGOR, Maine (NEWS CENTER)-- Since 15-year-old Nichole Cable's body was found late Monday night, hundreds have rallied together to show support for her family and honor Nichole. One way they've done that is through forming the Nichole Cable Memorial Fund.
The fund is designed to raise money for Nichole's family as well as to help other families who are going through similar situations. The Workstore in Glenburn is making stickers and several items of clothing with Nichole's name and picture on them. Orders can be placed at email@example.com or by calling 207-947-1100. The store's goal is to raise $3,000 for the family.
Cassandra Conroy is another person who is doing her part to help out. She was at the Bangor Mall Saturday selling remembrance bracelets for $2.75 each. $1.75 to pay for them to made and the rest going towards the memorial fund.
"I knew that a lot of people wanted bracelets and memorial things for her to remember her by," said Conroy. "I just felt like donating was something that I should be helping with.
There will be a fundraiser Saturday night at 7 p.m. at the East Ridge Stable in Charleston. That will include a candlelight vigil, silent auction and raffle.
Another event going on to raise money for the Nichole Cable Memorial Fund is a spaghetti supper scheduled for Friday, May 31, from 4:30-7 p.m. at the Old Town Knights of Columbus Hall at 5 Gilman Falls Ave. The meal will cost $5 per person and donations will be accepted. A candlelight vigil is scheduled for immediately after that dinner at the Riverfront Park.

Alabaster 'Eye Idols'
From Tell Brak, north-eastern Syria, about 3500-3300 BC
Tell Brak is the modern name of a huge site in north Mesopotamia, which was clearly one of the most important cities in the region during the late prehistoric period. Monumental buildings appear to have been rebuilt over many centuries. It was at one of these, known today as the Eye Temple, that the archaeologist Max Mallowan excavated hundreds of these miniature figurines, with their pronounced eyes. They may represent worshippers, placed as offerings.
The figurines have been grouped into five types. Some have a single pair of eyes, with or without decoration; some have three, four or six eyes; some have small 'child' eye figures carved on their front (like here), and on others the eyes have been drilled through.
Examples of figurines with drilled eyes have been found at a number of sites of this period across north Mesopotamia. Recent excavations at Tell Brak have confirmed their date.
