Vegetation Mapping
One of the goals of the National Park Service's Inventory and Monitoring Program is to provide the information and expertise needed by park managers for effective, long-term management of the natural resources held in trust. Understanding the vegetation communities found in a park provides an important baseline for sound natural resource stewardship and management. 2008 marked the completion of a vegetation map created for Cape Cod National Seashore from photo interpretation of 2000 aerial photography. Areas of relatively homogeneous plant species composition and structure that occur in a uniform habitat were grouped together as communities. Field surveys were carried out to determine accuracy of these interpretations. In the final vegetation map, twelve plant community classes are mapped individually and fifty-eight communities are aggregated into seventeen additional classes. Some of the classes were aggregated to improve the accuracy of the final product. There are also several non-vegetative cover classes. The completed vegetation map consists of twenty-eight classes. A table listing all classes and showing their total area (in hectares) and total percent cover is provided at right.
The project was carried out in partnership with NatureServe, a non-profit organization specializing in assisting science-led conservation efforts. The US National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) system was used to establish a standardized and compatible approach to identifying plant communities for this project. Detailed descriptions of all the plant associations can be found in the Vegetation Map Technical Report. Subtle differences in soil, elevation, and hydrology affect what plant community will occur in a given area. The checkered but intensive land use history of the Outer Cape is another factor that plays a significant role in the distribution of community types. Fourteen vegetation associations occurring within Cape Cod National Seashore are considered globally rare by USNVC standards, highlighting the conservation value of lands within the park.
The completed vegetation map serves as a powerful tool for scientists and resource managers. The map will serve as baseline information giving those charged with land stewardship a greater understanding of how the Seashore's vegetation communities are changing over time. This is an important factor in ensuring the obtainment of management goals related to native and non-native species composition, disturbance (for example deer browse and fire), and issues related to succession. Also, by identifying the distribution of plant communities across the landscape, one can harness a better understanding of the association of other organisms (for example wildlife) across the same landscape.
To access project data, please visit the USGS/NPS Cape Cod National Seashore Vegetation Characterization Program page.
In addition to the 2000 park-wide vegetation map, researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have developed a fine-scale remote sensing map of an area of the Seashore known as the Province Lands. The Province Lands represent the post-glacial extent of the Outer Cape consisting of predominantly sand and gravel surficial geology. The maritime dune communities that persist in this region of the park are home to a number of species of conservation concern. Using satellite imagery as its data source, the map cues into the unique spectral signal reflected by different plant species and species assemblages. By programming a range of spectral values for the different assemblages found in this landscape, researchers can identify and assign cover classes to an entire imagery data set at a very fine resolution. In some cases the cover classes can be assigned to the species level with a very high degree of accuracy. The development of the map represents the next step forward in vegetation mapping technology. Currently, the Seashore is considering the development of similar maps for regions outside of the Province Lands.

Loe: Grand Cayman offers miles of pristine beach, ideal place to get away from it all
Among Caribbean jewels, Grand Cayman glows
Because cruising typically gives you only about eight hours to explore a port of call, I've kept a list over the years of places I found especially intriguing that I wanted to return to someday.
That's what brought me back to a Caribbean island called Grand Cayman. I had a chance to see a dozen or more of these Caribbean jewels during the 25 years when I was a cruise tour leader. For most, a day's visit seemed just about right. But Grand Cayman left a different impression. There was something special about this dot of land just a few hundred miles south of Cuba.
What I remembered most from my brief visit was a stretch of seven miles of pristine beach on the island's west side. I walked a mile or two of it after the taxi from the ship dropped me off. The sand was like talc and the water temperature was ideal. I made a mental note that there were plenty of options for accommodations right on that beach if I ever made it back.
Turns out that for about the same amount you'd spend on a nice cabin on a one week cruise of the Caribbean you can move into a home on the beach in Grand Cayman for a week — if you plan your arrival for after April 15. So last month, after the peak season rates expired, I spent a week in a condo just a few paces from the water's edge of the renowned Seven Mile Beach. I even encouraged another couple from Ventura County to join us. They rented the unit above ours.
The setting was all I remembered, and more. The water was warm, the sand amazingly soft and the snorkeling was good. Weather in late April was pleasantly warm with just enough clouds and breeze to keep it from feeling too hot.
The routine we quickly settled into was to have a simple breakfast and lunch in our condos, interspersed with plenty of water time, beach walking and reading in the shade of beach umbrellas. In the evenings we'd splurge on dinner in one of the island's restaurants. For an eatery to qualify for our business it had to serve outdoors, preferably on a patio right on the water. There were plenty to choose from.
Driving a rental car on Grand Cayman was a bit of an adventure. They drive on the left side of the road there. A mental reprogramming is required every time you venture out. I encouraged all my passengers to keep reminding me to make tight left turns and enter parking lots in what seemed like the exits. Out of fear for their lives they were very active back seat drivers. The advice I got at the rental agency was especially valuable; follow the cars with the yellow license plates (local residents) and do what they do. The concept of outfitting rental cars with bright white plates is apparently for the general safety of all Grand Cayman residents.
The locals couldn't have been a more welcoming bunch. A tourist information booth lady named Donna Mae, whom we met at the airport while waiting for our suitcases, recommended restaurants to us. Next day we saw her in one of the restaurants and renewed the acquaintance. By the end of our stay she visited us at our condo, bringing souvenir trinkets and sharing stories of her life 50 years earlier as a child on Grand Cayman.
All the local residents we met seemed quite content and very friendly. They not only live in a beautiful place, Grand Cayman has the highest per capita income of any Caribbean Island. That may be partially because the residents are such hard workers. Many told us they hold down two, or even three jobs. For instance, Donna Mae drives a taxi on her days off and sells silk flowers out of her home. During my week on Grand Cayman I saw not one person begging nor any evidence of homelessness.
One outing was a highlight of the trip. A little more than an hour's drive from Seven Mile Beach at a place called Rum Point you can take a nighttime kayaking tour. What's the point of paddling around in total darkness on a moonless night? Bioluminescence, my friend! Yeah, I didn't know what that was either. It is the emission of light by a living organism. Due to some unique geographical conditions, there is a bay on the island where the phenomenon is quite dramatic, thanks to a particular species of plankton.
The results of this chemical reaction are quite dramatic when you stir the water. Move your paddle back and forth and the water glows in the dark. At one point our tour leader dove into the bay and swam under our kayaks. His body shape and movements was clearly outlined in a ghostly luminescent blue visible from the surface. We were wowed. It looked like something from the movie Avatar.
Back at the condo as I lounged in my beach chair, I'd watch the parade of cruise ships appear on the horizon every morning. Then starting as early as midafternoon they'd be on their way back to sea. They were all gone by 5 p.m. Those poor passengers, hustling to and from the ship, with just a few hours in yet another Caribbean island. They'll need to come back and spend some time if they want to really get to know Grand Cayman.

President Barack Obama wants to eliminate, as part of his proposed fiscal year 2015 budget, aggressive Social Security claiming strategies "which allow upper-income beneficiaries to manipulate the timing of collection of Social Security benefits to maximize delayed retirement credits."
Now, that plan to stop upper-income beneficiaries from claiming and then suspending their Social Security benefit may or may not become a reality. But what remains a reality, at least for now, is this: The incentive for waiting to claim Social Security until age 70.
And that incentive, according to a series of just-released fact sheets and the like from National Association of Social Insurance, is significant.
Consider: If you claim Social Security at age 62 you'll get just 75% of the monthly benefit you would have received had you waited until full retirement age. But if you wait until age 70, you'll get 132% of what would have been your full retirement age benefit. Or put another way, if your full retirement age benefit is $1,000 a month, you'd get just $750 a month if you claim at age 62, or $1,320 if you wait until age 70.
How to make sense of mixed sentiment signals
The consumer-sentiment report showed sentiment was weaker than expected in March. Does that mean anything for stocks? Not as much as you might think. Spencer Jakab explains on MoneyBeat.
The decision about when to claim Social Security decision is, for most people, not an easy one. To do it right, you need to consider many factors and answer many questions, some of which are, frankly, unanswerable.
What are some of those factors and questions? Well, the NASI addressed many of the factors and questions in its just-released tool kit, Social Security: It Pays to Wait, which includes, a three-minute video: Social Security: It Pays To Wait; a one-page fact sheet, When Should I Take Social Security?; and a 16-page brief, When Should I Take Social Security? Questions to Consider.
To be sure, it's well worth reading and studying the NASI's tool kit. It's also worth learning what experts participating in an email discussion had to say about the NASI's tool kit and what they think beneficiaries need to consider before taking Social Security.
1. Take it seriously
First, what's especially difficult about the when-to-claim-Social Security decision is that you have to decide what to do early in your 60s, long before you know the answers to your questions about your health and life expectancy. And two, the decision is irrevocable.
"Unfortunately, some decisions have to be made early in the game, such as the decision about when to take Social Security, or what option to take from the defined benefit plan, and once made, are generally irrevocable," said Chuck Yanikoski, the president of Still River Retirement Planning Software and RetirementWORKS.
"Other decisions can be put off, or modified, but once made limit one's future choices. So the further a person gets into retirement, the fewer options they have — and not only because of past decisions that they can't take back, but because of declining health, fewer or no opportunities for re-employment, possibly declining asset balances, and generally no likelihood of other new sources of income or assets."
Yes, there's a continuing need to reassess and modify your plan as things change during retirement, but that cannot be an excuse for not doing the best possible job at retirement, Yanikoski said.
"Planning around the time of retirement has a much bigger impact than individual course corrections during retirement, so it is best to do that planning as if you were only going to get one shot at it," Yanikoski said.
2. Don't use your break-even age
Advisers sometimes suggest, as part of the process, that you ought to determine the age at which you would come out ahead if you delay Social Security. In other words, the experts want you to determine your break-even age.
Now the break-even age, according to an analysis by Rande Spiegelman, a vice president of financial planning at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, depends on the amount of your benefits and the assumptions you use to account for taxes and the opportunity cost of waiting.
In his analysis, Spiegelman calculated the break-even ages for a top wage earner turning 62 in 2013 with monthly benefits (in 2013 dollars) at ages 62 and one month of $1,923; 66, $2,591; and 70, $3,447. And what he found was this: The break-even age is between:
- 77 and 78 for the top wage earner deciding whether to take Social Security early at age 62 vs. at age 66, the full retirement age (FRA);
- 80 and 81 for those deciding whether to take Social Security early at age 62 or at age 70; and
- 83 and 84 for those deciding whether to take Social Security at FRA vs. at age 70.
Read When Should You Take Social Security?
Research, however, shows the Social Security Administration's historical use of "break-even analysis" has the effect of inducing individuals to retire early, according to Jeff Brown, a professor at the University of Illinois.

Yoga: A Stretch of…………..Faith?
Religion: Not Just a Hair Trigger Word.
The day we moved to this house our elderly neighbors came out to see who we were. The first question they asked was, "What church do you go to?"
Aside from the fact that it was a somewhat rude question from the part of the country where I come from, as spiritual pursuits are personal and shouldn't matter to anyone else, I was taken aback because they assumed we went to a church. We don't. And I was a little uncomfortable telling that to people I'd met for one minute because, to my mind, they were assessing me the way people around here size you up according to where your kid is educated.
They meant no harm and for this culture it is not rude and church is their community and they were probably wondering if I would be part of it and hoping I was. As I hesitated with a shake of my head, they asked if we worked in the area and I said I was a yoga teacher. "Oh, yoga", the wife quietly said with a confused and forgiving smile." Did that excuse me from the religious question? Was yoga my religion? It didn't matter. We have been the best of neighbors but what I thought was a silly misinterpretation of my job was maybe more my misunderstanding of yoga.
About fifteen years ago I had a woman in class who said that she had a son with colitis and was looking for ways to teach him to relax. She came back to tell me that she couldn't come to class because it was antithetical to her religion. She said she was a Christian. People here introduce themselves as Christians and think nothing of it but identity by religious beliefs was new to me. She impressed me as narrow minded and trapped and I wondered if her son's condition was exacerbated by moral strictness or guilt. I never thought that her perception of yoga or my class was correct. After all yoga is a system of energy management, a philosophy that holds no God as king, a direction for moral and ethical conduct that veers down no particular religious path.
Or is it? Wikipedia describes religion as a set of beliefs explaining the existence of and giving meaning to the universe, usually involving devotional and ritual observances and often containing a moral code governing the conduct of human affairs. It is also described as a communal system for the coherence of belief in a highest truth.
Webster defines yoga as a Hindu theistic philosophy and theistic means belief in a single God and my favorite guru, B.K.S. Iyengar, makes references to the 'Lord' in his description of yoga.
It seems the view of yoga as a religion would be correct. It seems that it was my mind that was too narrow. I'm considering my place in this religion.
Reflected in the media, household publications and the internet, yoga looks like a phenomenon that deserves attention. Is this country embracing a philosophy or a faith in its runaway yoga mania? I have a vision that depicts perhaps a singular aspect of modern yoga. I hear chanting, and name changing and see prayer shawls flying and eyes rolled up in ecstasy. I hear a foreign tongue in an ancient language calling out the name Krishna in all his incarnations. Anjeli mudra, hands in prayer, is ubiquitous. I see statues of Hindu Gods. I hear an incantation. I see a shrine of offerings to invisible beings. The word "goddess" has been resurrected. Women are the leaders of the dance, hair blowing in the wind.
An off balance nation searching for answers is a great opportunity for ambitious life-coaches and sales people. Zen collides with Dale Carnegie as Tony Robbins and Werner Erhard like yoga gurus gather numbers like Joel Osteen in the mega-church. The term principle, previously enjoyed by polygamists and Moonies, has found a home on the banner head of a fast growing yoga community. Yoga isn't just yoga anymore it's a kind of yoga and yogis with business heads are marketing names and promises and manifestos like the many divisions of the church. Come to us, come to us, says the number crunching preacher luring us in. Cleanse your toxins and free your soul. The yoga studio becomes a franchise. The teachers are independent satellites. They are salaried employees.
If yoga is a religion then who amongst us is qualified to teach it? It's a complicated religion which makes it even harder. It's almost impossible not to happen upon a pathway to things unseen when doing a physical practice done with integrity. Even if we aren't teaching a religious aspect of yoga but doing asana and breath, students made need guidance beyond anatomy. Through the body comes the awakening of yoga. Then what? Call your shrink and your priest and don't ask me or do you assume the character of either? You could be playing with fire. And what if you describe the poses and the names? There is talk of sages and deities. And what about when the first strain of a mantra comes over the loudspeakers. We cross into something beyond the body. What are we responsible for? How many yoga studio advertisements casually toss the words body, mind and spirit into the menu? Are there skills to back that up?
I once took a class from a new teacher who told me that my knee hurt in a pose because of unresolved past life issues. Noooo, my knee hurts because I have a fallen arch which caused a strained medial crucial ligament and partially torn meniscus. But thanks anyway. Maybe she would think that my arch had fallen because of unresolved past life issues but I hope she would get to know me before mentioning anything about it.
I took a class in which we were held hostage in a backbend while being read a description of animal torture from a PETA pamphlet by some ahimsa (non–violence) preaching visiting yogis. I, who run screaming from the room if I see a suffering animal on television, left feeling sick and violated. I later read a quote by the same empire building offender saying that the secret to life was to take things lightly. I took that lightly. Thanks for the laugh.
We use the word consciousness. Has it become just a word without content? Are we just conscious of what's convenient to see?
The Harvard psychologist B.F. Skinner did an early experiment with pigeons. They got rewarded if they made figure eights and hit tennis balls. That's funny and awful but Skinner was proving that even natural beings will do weird things for immediate rewards.
What bigger reward is there for a new yogi than to be part of the group? It's human nature to want to be accepted by the pack. A couple of students from a local studio which follows a highly stylized practice took class with me recently. They moved through the postures by rote. They paid no attention to my instructions, they finished every vinyasa with anjeli mudra although I wasn't teaching that and jnana mudra, the seal of wisdom appeared at every opportunity.
I asked one of them what those gestures meant.
She answered, "I don't know."
I said, "Then why are you doing it?" and she said again that she didn't know.
"If you don't know what it means and you don't know why you're doing it, then it's just jewelry! Do what you need to but you ought to understand what you're doing."
Tennis playing pigeons remind me she's been trained to mimic for the reward of membership and the uniquely human bonus of pride in emulating a popular teacher's style that was borrowed from an even more popular yoga teacher's style.
The sign on the church across from my house which has maybe the worst sentiments ever and always once said, "We like Sheep". Do we like 'sheep' in yoga too? Are we raising sheep? Not for me, thanks. Raising two kids has been all I can be responsible for. And that crowded barn just feels claustrophobic. I'm not crazy about hanging out waiting to be fed and watered on anyone's schedule either and I expect my students feel the same way.
Are we supposed to be missionaries spreading light into the darkness? What are we part of? Who are we accountable to? Who are we kidding, could it be ourselves? What about the aim of yoga to uncover the veil of illusion that covers the universe, how's that going? What about for profit and power? Religion tends to be entwined with society and politics. We need to make a living at our work and power may just be handed to us when people follow. Are we fit to manage that? How many times have I been ignorant? Have I done any harm? Those are hard questions but they have to be considered on a regular basis when you're dealing with so many personalities; when some may want to find in you their physical therapist, psychotherapist and priest.
I'm driving down a country road on a moonless night and the street lights are suddenly and briefly gone. I'm driving blind. It's just a stretch of darkness, I think. It's a stretch in the dark; a stretch of faith. I don't want to hit anyone, any animals and I slow down and tell myself, "I can't see anything but I won't hit anything. I refuse to hurt anyone." "I'm on a stretch of faith."

Yes, you're right in that too many people are getting spooked by Yoga! It's unfortunate because Yoga is being taught by half-baked folks who resort to the metaphysical at a whim! Yoga is essentially a science – a science of spirituality and human potential. There is a need to present it like this. Bhakti aspects are very often over-emphasized, even more than the foundations of yoga itself.
Great article, Hilary! Now, the academic speaks: The Yoga darshana is one of the six "orthodox" philosophical traditions (darshanas) in Indian culture, "orthodox" meaning here that they claim Vedic roots. It is usually paired with Sankhya, because the two share a cosmology and a primary concern with release from suffering, but where Sankhya is atheistic – meaning, here, that its principles work without regard to any belief in any kind of god – Patanjali made the innovation of introducing ishvara pranidhana, "surrender to the Lord," as one of the effective paths out of suffering/bondage. "Ishvara" means Lord (or lord), but it does not name a deity: it is defined as a "special soul" which has never been bound by mistakenly identifying itself with the physical world. Iyengar uses the term theistically because that's his orientation, and he is not wrong in doing so, but "ishvara" can equally well be understood as an archetype of free consciousness. One of the difficulties about the "Is yoga a religion?" question is that the category religion does not mean the same thing in Indian culture as it does in Western. If we think of the Judaeo-Christian model for "religion", meaning something with a single founder and a holy book and a set of tenets and a priesthood, then yoga is not a religion. If you rethink religion to mean something more like dharma, a path of practices and duties which can be both individual and shared, then it does make sense to say that yoga is your religion. I tell people no, it's a philosophical practice, and for the most part I leave my bhakti practices out of my public classes. I am now going back to work on my dissertation involving images of the goddess. Thank you.
Wonderful Hilary! I love how you question everything and if we take the time to follow through with our questioning we may actually wake up one day. I remember those traveling yogi's reading PETA excerpts and learned that if you cry in Salamba Sarvangasana you get tears in your ears. Thanks for reminding me of that. Thank you
Hilary – very thought provoking. I really enjoyed the article and appreciate your insight as always!
Yoga means union….need I say more….yoga should not be diversified into styles or any thing else. It is oneness with the One!
Great article Hilary….I love it…and totally grok that which you speak about.
We must remember….UNION! Anything else is chitta vritti! Then therefore we need to continue on our mats and practice!
Om Mani Peme Hung!
Peace to all!
HIlary..I truly appreciate your honest reflection. I have often heard the same claims of Buddhism; "It's not a religion, it's a way of life." I think it's very clear that Tibetan Buddhism is a religion and the yoga derived from it is as well from the religious tradition, and in most cases considered esoteric. I have made the claim in the past that Buddhism is not a religion and it was because I so afraid of being placed in the same category as my former christian upbringing. But, it seems in todays world, being a part of a religion is so much more than the practices and beliefs that compliment/direct your path. Adopting the views, blindly following those appointed to lead by the praticioners even though you have never met them in person, etc. Can someone practice Tibetan yoga and not be part of the Buddhist religion? Yes. Can someone pray in anjali and have aboslutely no religious orientation or training, yes. Just like in all religions, organizations, social groups…I tink the important point is to embrace practices that help unfold your journey and not take on the identity, which can be not only limiting but actually detrimental to a spiritual path. Thank you for your courageous questioning.
Is this like the P 90 X system. I have been looking for some information on it but this seems like it has potential. Merely want to make the best decision
[…] "Yoga: A Stretch of Faith" might have been my first or second on elephant, and maybe one of my best, because I explored the […]

The Breakfast Club Chats With WKBW's Mike Randall + His Puppet Dudley [VIDEO]
KidsFest is this weekend, and Mike Randall will be on hand with some of his puppets! We had a chance to not only talk to Mike, but also Dudley The Duck!
KidsFest is this weekend, and Mike Randall will be on hand with some of his puppets! We had a chance to not only talk to Mike, but also Dudley The Duck!
Here is Mike Randall's Channel 7 forecast as of 5:45 a.m. on Tuesday.
Having listened to Channel 7's meteorologist Mike Randall, there is a pretty good chance that high wind and rain could cause downed power lines and outages in Western New York. Here are five steps to take prior to the approaching storm.
When there is big weather news, we are lucky to have the team from Channel 7 on our side. Mike Randall joined us to share his insight about what we can expect here in Western New York from Hurricane Sandy.
Mike has been with WKBW-TV for 28 years filling a number of duties including feature reporter. He received his Certificate of Broadcast Meteorology from Mississippi State University. He also earned the Seal of Approval from the American Meteorological Society as well as the National Weather Association.
At least here in Western New York the mammoth storm we'd been hearing about kinda fizzled. Depending on what source you were depending on the forecast said we could get anywhere from 8 to 16 inches of snow - maybe more. And with high winds it could create some very dangerous conditions.

The first time it didn't work because I've choosed the 1.44 emulation option
Well..since it seems that I might get support for my NIC if I use the cdrom32.fs ...can anyone point me to some assistance in creating this?
My burner is on a HeXP machine and I use Roxio EZ CD creator. I have found a way to make a bootable CDROM....but it askes for emulation type and I dont know which mode to choose:
floppy 1.44 floppy 2.88 hard disk none
I have tried all of them and nothing seems to work. It burns fine, but wont
boot off of it.
Has anyone done this with roxio that could point me towards what I need to do?
thanks in advance!

The Lock In: Maz O'Connor
Get ready for The Lock In - the UK's top Folk & Hip-Hop dance extravaganza – where some of the UK's oldest forms of dance are brought bang up to date as they collide with some of the youngest in an exciting new dance show.
The Lock In does for English folk dance what Riverdance did for Irish dance and Diversity did for street dance, bringing some lesser-known forms of dance into the mainstream. Fast-paced and innovative, the show brings together some of the UK's top clog, sword and Morris dancers with their counterparts from the worlds of B-boying, popping and krump.
Maz O'Connor
Young ballad singer from Cumbria, Maz O'Connor, has appeared as guest singer with Last Orders, winners of the BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award 2007, before going on to become a finalist in the competition herself in 2009.

Can a pen change a child's life?
We have thirty-six children waiting for a mentor to be matched. Can you be a mentor for one of them?
These are kids who are low risk for trafficking right now, but struggling at school and home, and need a little more encouragement and kindness in their lives. A simple letter written just for them.
Will a simple letter really make a difference?
Yes. Our kids keep every letter carefully, and read them over and over and they're eager to write back. For almost all of them, this is the first piece of mail they've ever received. Knowing someone in another country cared about them enough to write a letter, and most of all, that that person wants to know about them, their hopes and dreams – that is a Big Deal to our kids, who are used to being ignored by the world.
Don't you have to be super-perfect to be a mentor?
Nope. You have to be kind. That's really it. You don't have to be a brilliant writer, or know lots about Cambodia or even children. You'll need to have a working pen and a coffee break to write a letter once a month. We'll send reminders and keep track of letters so you don't even have to be organised! Just write with kindness.
Is it like a sponsoring a child?
Close, but with a twist. Because our kids all come from families struggling with really difficult problems, we think very carefully about how we match you to a child. Shared interests like football, a child's dreams of becoming a nurse, being the youngest in the family – we look for shared elements to build a friendship on. For the child receiving your letter, you're special because you've been chosen just for them.
The $45 a month mentorship fee does help a lot as the average cost of a child with Riverkids, but it doesn't go directly to the child so that children who don't have mentors get the same help and support too.
So how do I get started?
Reply to this email and we'll get you sorted out. There's a short form to fill out and we'll call you to go over some questions about what your interests are, so we can figure out which child would be the best match to you. Then we'll send you a welcome pack with their first letter and everything you need to get started.
Can children take part too?
Absolutely! We love matching families – the letters are a wonderful experience to share with children. We prefer not to do direct age matches, but look for shared interests like football or reading, so the children have lots to share.
What if they write about something scary or sensitive and I don't know what to do?
That's exactly why we need mentors like you so our children have a safe place to ask for help. All the letters are read by us to look out for worrying problems like this. We'll help the child first, then update you with advice on helpful things to say in your next letter. Often, what they need is simply to be heard. "You miss your mum a lot. I'm thinking of you, and I hope she comes home soon too."

Riverkids works with children and families in danger of abuse and trafficking in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
We identify children at high risk because of extreme poverty, drug abuse, alcoholism, gambling, child abuse or other children or family involved in trafficking. Then, we talk with the families to work out what help they need and what will keep their children safe.
Sometimes, it's as simple as getting the children enrolled in school. Other times, we need to provide emergency shelter for abused children and urgent medical care to prevent a greater crisis. For our families, selling their children is a desperate solution to complicated long-term problems that can't be quickly solved, but instead need patience and compassion to find practical solutions like vocational training and family counselling.
Our community centers are within walking distance from the crowded and dangerous slums our families live in. That makes it easy for the families to ask for help during an emergency, and makes our centers part of the local community. We hire staff from the local slums where possible too.

Debreate is a free and open source software that has been designed from the ground up to allow you to easily and quickly create binary packages, native installers for Debian-based operating systems, such as Ubuntu and Linux Mint, in the DEB file format, using nothing both source tarballs (tar.gz files).
The application will allow you to create distributable .deb packages of software, games, media, themes and artwork. It will allow you to build DEB installers for both 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms.
Getting started with Debreate
For your convenience, the software is distributed as a dual-arch, native installer in the DEB file format, installable on any Debian-based OS. This is the recommended package for installing the Debreate software on your computer, but you can also try the portable tarball.
After installation, start the application from the main menu of your desktop environment. You will be able to manage scripts, which will be executed before or after installation, as well as before or after removal of the DEB package.
Additionally, the software allows you to create menu launchers for your projects, by adding filename, icon, executable, character encoding, terminal support, notification support, category, etc. Information about dependencies and conflicts can also be added.
Under the hood and supported OSes
The software is written entirely in the Python programming language and uses the portable wxWidgets GUI toolkit for its graphical user interface. It's compatible with Debian GNU/Linux, Ubuntu and various other distros based on these two projects.
Because it depends on several Debian utilities, the software will only work on Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu. It has been successfully tested with both 32-bit and 64-bit instruction set architectures.

COVE POINT, Md. — A vast dock stands a mile offshore here, its concrete legs planted in the water and its steel tentacles poised to suck natural gas in a liquid state from special refrigerated tankers up to a thousand feet long.
But on a recent clear fall afternoon, there wasn't a tanker in sight. Inside a control room, operator Ron Keraga watched computer monitors that did not blink. The only flurry came from the sea gulls, which perched on the railings outside and then left a white trail behind them.

The first recorded reference to Exbury is in the Domesday Book of 1086 where the village is noted down as being called Teocrabrae. (The "T" was thought to be a diminutive of "at eocrabrae"). The two recorded heads of family were Bolla and Wolfgeat. They farmed 27 hides (270 acres) each. The next known reference to Exbury was in 1217, when the small town of Exbury, at that time owned by the Berkeley family, was destroyed by the French, retreating following their defeat at the Battle of Lincoln. Only a small chapel and a number of scattered farmsteads remained. There is little recorded history between the Battle of Lincoln and the purchase of the estate in 1726 by William Mitford. One of his first acts was to plant the cedars of Lebanon near his farm, later to become Exbury House, plus many avenues of trees radiating out from the House. However many of these avenues did not survive his grandson William Mitford, who was an avid follower of the Reverend William Gilpin M.A. and the "Picturesque" movement. The Top Pond formed part of William Mitford's "Ladies Walk". The "Gentleman's Ride" has now become the public highway that loops through the centre of Exbury, each corner of which is designed to frame a view of the Isle of Wight. This can still be seen today, but only from on horseback, across the top of hedges!
A great deal of information concerning the Estate and its workings from 1726 to the early 1800s can be found in the Exbury Ledger, whose microfiche is available at the County Library in Winchester. In the 1700s the economy of Exbury was based on sheep, general crops and a two-pan salt works. When the latter closed Exbury opened a brickworks, which operated up until the First World War. The Mitfords built the current Exbury village using this characteristic yellow brick.
Henry Mitford was appointed British Ambassador to Japan in the 1880s and sold Exbury to John (later Lord) Forster. Forster, Lord Montagu's brother-in-law, had two sons; one was killed in the first three weeks of the First World War, the other in the March following the armistice. This broke his heart. A memorial to the two sons may be visited in Exbury Church, this became a template for other memorials seen in churches around the country.
Lord Forster was offered the job of Governor-General of Australia and sold the Exbury Estate to Lionel de Rothschild in 1919. Lionel had moved to Inchmery House eight years earlier, to be close to his friend Scott-Montagu. They shared a passion for speed – on land and water. In 1906 they beat the water speed record at 28.8 knots and in 1907 went on to win the prestigious Perla del Mediterraneo. Photography – particularly colour photography – was in its infancy, and Lionel was soon to try his hand with the Autochrome, with considerable success. His main inspiration for his pictures were Gardens, later to become the central pre-occupation of his life and a lasting legacy.

Someone suggested the easiest way to do was to import contacts in gmail and then sync via gmail onto Note 2. I managed to sync all the phone numbers but now I face another dilemma. As i tried to send an sms to a bunch of people, when I selected the '+' button next to the recipient box to add more recipients, the phone offers me a list of "email addresses" along with other contacts which it apparently has synced from my gmail.

Goodbye and Good Luck
By Bill Piner, Director of Schools
One of my professional highlights each year is the Academy's Spring Performance of our upper level students. Watching these young dancers perform, I can't help but feel proud of their growth and maturing accomplishments. Many of these dancers have been with us since they began dancing many years ago, so pangs of nostalgia creep in too. Each year we say goodbye to another group of graduating seniors who will go into the world, taking a part of us with them and leaving a part of themselves with us. As my own daughter inches closer to this transition, I find myself even more aware of the momentousness of the occasion. This is a big deal!
This year we have four graduating seniors, three who will be pursuing university degrees at Butler University, Yale and NYU. The fourth will be furthering her dream of a professional career by trying to obtain a position in a professional program of a ballet company. Upper level BAA students not only spend many hours a week in the studio, they also have to dedicate numerous hours to academic requirements and interests. Some former students have gone on to professional careers in companies such as New York City Ballet and Kansas City Ballet. Others have chosen to attend universities such as Harvard, Tulane and SMU. Each one of the hundreds who have passed through ours doors over the years is unique and we celebrate their many and varied accomplishments…have a great life, seniors and don't forget to write...or tweet!

Citation: Rew, L.J., Wiles, L., Shaw, D. 2008. From Maps To Knowledge To Management: Understanding, predicting and managing the invasion process can be improved by using geographic information systems. Weed Science Society of America Meeting Abstracts. Chicago Illinois, February 7, 2008 Technical Abstract: Concern over the invasion and consequent spread of non-native plant species is increasing in crop, range and wild land areas. Invasion of non-native species is considered second only to loss of habitat in terms of extinction of native species. Cost of control of non-native plant species, particularly those designated as "noxious" in the U.S. due to their potential negative economic impact, runs to billions of dollars per year. Land managers are generally faced with limited resources to manage non-native plant invasions over extensive and diverse landscapes, and have inadequate information on how best to prioritize and control them. Geographic information systems (GIS) provide a means to understand and model the environmental and biotic variables which drive the processes of invasion and analyze the spatial distribution of the problem. Topics which are being addressed by invasion ecologists using GIS include: determining the most effective methods to survey and map established and newly invading species; determining where such species are most likely to spread rapidly; how to prioritize species, populations and areas for control; and predicting areas most at risk of target species invasion. This symposium aims to explore some of these topics and demonstrate how GIS can be used to further our understanding of the processes which drive invasion, and the most effective management practices to control such invasions

Dairy-Free Chocolate
Posted By Susan Clemens On 2010/09/03 @ 11:13 am In Milk and Egg Allergies | No Comments
Once upon a time, the only way you could get a chocolate bar free of dairy was to make it yourself! Companies are catching on that those with an allergy to dairy might still go for chocolate and we now have a few options.
Most companies had stopped shipping chocolate bars during the hot summer months as heat affected the quality of the product, but September's here and so is production!
Enjoy Life makes both dark and milk (rice milk) chocolate bars to satisfy all taste buds! They also offer chocolate chips for the baking. All products are dairy- nut-, soy- and gluten-free.
Guardian Angel Foods sell the cutest chocolates from hearts, to zoo animals or dinosaurs! If you want fondue or baking chocolate, they offer that as well. They boast, "All of our delicious products are made without peanuts, nuts, eggs, sesame, bovine protein and dairy."
Nonuttin's Double Chocolate Chunk Granola bar is a granola bar that thinks it's a chocolate bar (or is it the other way around?) Either way it's sure to satisfy both your hunger and your sweet tooth! Again, this company offers 70 per cent dark chocolate chunks. All products are free of dairy, egg, peanut, fish, sesame, mustard, wheat, sulfite and gluten (certified by GFCO).
South of the border and shipping to Canada are:
Amanda's Own offers dairy free, nut free and egg free chocolate in bars, shapes (from fancy foil wrapped to cars and puppies) as well as chips for baking.
Divvies offers both Devvine Chocolate and Chocolate Benjamint (with organic peppermint crunched up candies). Both are made in the company's-own dedicated facility where no peanuts, tree nuts, milk or eggs enter the doors.
Premium Chocolatiers create the finest truffles and gourmet chocolates to indulge chocolate lovers including those with milk, nut, egg, and gluten sensitivities.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency [1]has been warning for some time now that imported chocolates are not always safe.

Every good boy deserves fudge
1. Method of Loci
Use familiar route or scene
Imagine to-be-remembered things along the way
2. Key Words (Peg Words)
one is a bun
two is a shoe
three is a tree
four is a door
five is a hive
six is sticks
seven is heaven
eight is gate
nine is a line
ten is a hen
use this memorized structure, form images
3. Methods of Association
use structures already in memory the alphabet, words, sounds of words
first letter technique
I before E except after C
30 days hath september, april, june and november
4. Narrative technique (Bower & Clark, 1969)
use story structure
students learn 12 lists of 10 words
some students make up stories, some just read words
immediate recall for each list is 99%
recall for ALL lists at end of first session was 93% for the story
group and 13% for the control group
If you ever go on jeopardy learn this story:
Washington and Jefferson made many a joke. VanBuren had to put
the frying pan back. Lincoln just gasped, "Heaven guard America!"
Cleveland had coats made ready to wear home. Coolidge hurried
right to every kitchen jar nook. Ford could read books carefully, but....
How do mnemonics work?
Mnemonics provide structure
Mnemonics provide associations at encoding
Mnemonics provide retrieval cues
Mnemonics still require rehearsal, study and practice
Mnemonics help you to remember arbitrary lists by IMPOSING meaning, organization or imagery

Farewell, Pong: Atari files for bankruptcy
- From: news.com.au
- January 22, 2013
THE grandfather of the video game has declared bankruptcy.
Atari - the company who brought the world one of the earliest video games, Pong - is planning to sell its logo and all of its video game titles.
PlayStation 4 Day: Tune in to news.com.au's livefeed and coverage
"The Chapter 11 process constitutes the most strategic option for Atari's US operations," the company said in a statement.
Fear not, this may not be the end of the beloved gaming company.
In fact, it could be a pretty clever way for the company to liberate itself from its French owners to rise from the ashes and reclaim its former glory.

Atari stopped being Atari when they sold to JTS. Atari under Warner was responsible for all the classic arcade games and the Atari 2600 which everybody had hooked to their 1980's televisions. Atari under Jack and Sam Tramiel were responsible for successfully moving the company into the 16-bit computer era, with the popular Atari ST range of machines competing against the Commodore Amiga, and the handheld Atari Lynx. Atari's last hurrah was the Atari Jaguar, in which they sinked all hope and finances. Unfortunately it didn't pan out well, and Atari sold to JTS and then to Microprose who kept the classic branding alive... but it wasn't really Atari.

Chapter 11 means restructuring, it wll allow atari to shed legacy obligations and emerge with a stronger finanacial backer. THQ did this about a month ago as well.

My first computers were Atari and they were great. I used them for music sequencing and then with Auspac to get papers from the national library in Canberra over the phone line using a modem that was a real modem, modulate/demodulate, who remembers that? They were way ahead of their time. The desktop icons what we take for granted today as far as I know Atari were the first to use. Then when I set up an office Atari were used as office computers and I became a whiz at an Atari version of Lotus 123. My secretary loved them for word processing. Eventually I had to move on but it was a sad day when I got my first Windows PC. I suspect this means I am a legacy! .

Time marches on I guess. I remember playing Pong lying on the floor in front of the TV and the elderly family chihuahua kept running behind to look for the ball - was very funny. Oh the memories!
Comment 8 of 15
Andrew of Brisbane Posted at 10:40 AM January 22, 2013
Yeah, sorry but this is a poorly researched article. The Atari that made Pong and the 2600 died a long time ago. The current Atari is just a brandname that was sold off to give another company cred.

|The Game Story:
|LEWISBURG, Pa. - John Togneri (Longmeadow, Mass./Loomis-Chaffee) scored an unassisted goal with 2:25 left in the third overtime period to help the Bucknell men's lacrosse team to a come-from-behind 8-7 victory Saturday afternoon at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium. Togneri was one of three Bison players with two goals in the contest.
Bucknell, which is ranked 19th nationally, upended the No. 20 Buckeyes to improve to 2-1 this season. It was the first win over a ranked opponent for the Bison since they defeated then-No. 17 Army at West Point last April.
Bucknell, which was outshot 34-19 in regulation, had plenty of chances in the overtime periods, but Ohio State goalie Stefan Schroder made two of his eight saves in the second overtime. Togneri, who had brought the Bison to within one (6-5) with his first goal early in the fourth quarter, finally ended the contest that was played under both sunny skies and intermittent snow squalls.
The Bison trailed 6-4 after Ohio State (1-2) ended a 3-0 run with a goal by Kevin Buchanan seconds into the third quarter. However, they netted four of the next five goals for their second consecutive one-goal home victory.
After falling behind 1-0 early, Bucknell tallied three consecutive goals, including a pair in man-up situations. The Bison then scored just one goal over the next 17 minutes of play before their late-game rally. Bucknell was strong in man-up situations, netting three goals in its first four chances. Overall, the Bison were 3-for-6. Ohio State failed to score on its only man-advantage opportunity.
Austin Winter (Boonton Townshio, N.J./Mountain Lakes) and Tim Brandau (Owings Mills, Md./McDonogh) joined Togneri with two goals for Bucknell. Winter also dished out a career-high four assists. He scored the game-tying goal with 3:35 left in regulation off an assist from Togneri.
Nick Sciubba (Sea Cliff, N.Y./Salisbury School) was strong in net for Bucknell, registering 12 saves to bring his season total to 35. Just 19 of the Buckeyes' 35 shots in the game were on goal.
Buchanan and Jeff Ryan paced Ohio State with two goals apiece, while Joel Dalgarno registered a pair of assists.
The Bison, who have won their last five of their last six overtime games, will continue their five-game homestand next Saturday, March 8, when they host Mount St. Mary's at 1 p.m. at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.
