Inaugural Book Launch Cohort Selected
Five groups of people coming from all sides of the educational spectrum with one common goal: Create digital books to facilitate innovative teaching and learning at Ohio State.
Recently, the autumn 2014 Book Launch cohort celebrated with a kickoff meeting before their fingers hit the keys and their hard work begins. At the kickoff, the groups were given the opportunity to introduce themselves to one another, present their book ideas and meet the ODEE team who will support them throughout their Book Launch experience.
The books will hit Ohio State's Digital Bookstore in January 2015. As part of the ODEE's mission to provide affordable textbooks to students at Ohio State and the rest of the world, these digital books will be made available to purchase at no or very low cost, especially when compared to the high cost of conventional, printed textbooks.
Now, let's take a look at some of the projects featured in this inaugural cohort:
Interstellar and Intergalactic Medium
Led by Dr. Barbara Ryden and Dr. Richard Pogge from the Department of Astronomy will produce the first of a multiple part interactive digital book series for graduate students in Astronomy at Ohio State and to share throughout the world. Graduate students at Ohio State are trained in "order-of-magnitude" thinking, typically meaning they are required to purchase expensive and large textbooks that don't require in-depth reading. With students having tight budgets and being required to buy unnecessary materials, Dr.'s Ryden and Pogge wanted to develop a shorter, less in-depth version of the same material, which supports the pedagogical methodology.
"Tailored specifically to Ohio State's Astronomy curriculum, we will provide a very inexpensive and interactive alternative to the traditional astronomy textbook," said Ryden.
Principles of Weed Ecology and Management
Led by Bruce Ackley from the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science, Principles of Weed Ecology and Management will reach far beyond both on-campus and online students. The book will act as a global resource featuring high quantities of interactive material such as 3-D objects, videos, interactive images and more. The purpose of the book is so that students, professionals or amateurs in their gardens can learn about and identify common weeds in an engaging format. Considering the digital format, additions can be made to the book after initial publication to add more strains of weeds furthering the reach of the educational resource.
"Not everyone has the opportunity to have a shelf full of books containing different weeds to identify and it's expensive," said Ackley. "In our digital book, we're going to create high resolution and 3-D images to help kick start a comprehensive identification tool on one, single platform."
SPARK: Literacy Strategies and Supports for Out Of School Learning Experiences
Led by Edward Hill at the Ohio Resource Center for the Department of Education and Human Ecology, SPARK is a digital book to be used extensively by educators throughout the state of Ohio. It will enhance and extend the ORC's current training and development opportunities to administrators of out of school programs in the state. Current materials are limited to face-to-face training with printed documents and presentations. The project team intends to develop SPARK as a resource that can reach a much wider audience increasing reader engagement with interactive and media rich elements.
"Research has shown that kids sometimes lose ground with their education during the summer months," said Hill. "We hope to SPARK ways to bridge that educational gap both in the summer and during out of or after school programs."
Leadership Road Trip
Led by Jane Wright for the 4-H Youth Development group within Ohio State's College of Food, Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, this digital book will experience 4-H's experiential learning model. The book will act as a proof of concept containing more than 200 similar publications created for 4-H participants in Ohio and throughout the United States. Leadership Road Trip will cover leadership topics that are geared towards the almost 300,000 K-12 4-H participants in Ohio. The students will be able to document and share lessons from the book throughout the school year in addition to having a mobile-ready option for the students within the program.
"We sell more than 200 project books in other states for 4-H participants on a wide range of topics," said Wright. "I'm very excited to reach our kids through this medium and provide a more comprehensive resource encompassing more than one topic at a time."
Microbiology 4000 Interactive Lab Manual
Led by Mette Ibba from the Department of Microbiology to develop a digital version of the existing Microbiology 4000 course lab manual. She and her team promise to greatly enhance the book's content by bringing static elements to life. They also hope to build student engagement, improve integration of the lecture component of the course and be part of a holistic plan to modernize this lab through the use of iPads. The team hopes the book with it's availability in the iBooks Store, will impact more than just roughly 1,500 Ohio State students every year who are enrolled in this General Education course.
"Most of our students take this course because they have to as a requirement for their major, not because they're particularly interested in microbiology," said Ibba. "So we hope making a more exciting lab manual in the digital format will help generate interest in our program."

This new perfume has a storied pedigree. After reading The Book Of Lost Fragrances, a thriller that details the quest to locate a scent created in the days of Cleopatra, fragrance designer Frederick Bouchardy was inspired to bring the novel's star scent to life. Even if thrillers aren't your favorite literary genre, you're sure to love the spellbinding blend of orange blossom, myrrh, and other exotic notes.
I usually throw away perfume samples. (1) They're impossible to open without spilling everywhere. (2) I never like the perfumes. This was a DOUBLE WIN! I adored the little roll-on bottle. So cute, so tiny, that despite myself I opened it and put it on my wrist. Then spent the rest of the morning thinking, "Mmm, what's that lovely scent?" Before remembering the perfume. The next morning I picked up the bottle, read all the info, realized I'd never heard of this brand, and put it on both wrists. LOVE IT! It's floral, gentle, smells like sunshine in a garden instead of smelling like perfume. And it's grown-up, not girly. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll be buying the full size!!5
I'm still not sure if I love this scent or if I'm not quite into it, but it's quite fascinating. It lasted a very long time, and I liked that it had just a touch of muskiness to it. On me, it wasn't very feminine, but that gave it a lot of appeal. I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy this for the fall (once my summer fragrance runs out).3

"interest".What's most notable is that often, kids or babies are allowed to cop a feel, simply because it's said that [[ChildrenAreInnocent they don't understand what they're doing]].Note that there seems to be some level of DoubleStandard, since [[AllMenArePerverts most of the examples seem to be male]].See also {{Kidanova}}, which deals more with the romantic aspects, as opposed to the sexual ones.Not to be confused with ThePigPen, who is filthy in a different way.----!!Examples:[[foldercontrol]][[folder:Anime & Manga]]* Shin from ''Manga/CrayonShinChan''. His sister Himawari also seems to have a thing for guys.* ''Manga/DetectiveSchoolQ'' gives us Kazuma Narusawa, who ''somehow'' got a hold of the ''exact'' measurements of the teenaged Megu's GagBoobs...* Anya, one of the three {{Token Mini Moe}}s in ''Anime/{{Gravion}}''. Best exemplified in the episode where she and some of the older maids have Eiji trapped in a game of ''StripPoker.''** Brigitta as well when it comes to Eiji's "physicals". The only one not an example of this trope is Cecile.* Tsurugi ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'' Part 8. He likes touching Yasuho too much.* In ''Anime/KillLaKill'', Mako Mankanshoku's younger brother Matarou knows the teenage Ryuko Matoi is sexy and is always trying to peep at her bathing or changing clothes.* [[KidHero Aladdin]] from ''Manga/MagiLabyrinthOfMagic'' likes groping breasts a bit too much...* All of the boys in ''Manga/MaicchinguMachikoSensei'' fit this trope but particularly Kenta, who is often the ring leader of the boys and works out several plots to grope, disrobe, or otherwise act pervy to the eponymous Miss Machiko.* Rabi from ''Anime/MajokkoMegChan'' had an arsenal tricks aimed at catching his "big sister" disrobed, from yanking the sheets off Megu's bed in the morning to using a fishing rod to lift her skirt.* Momoka from Anime/MawaruPenguindrum. She [[spoiler: went missing]] as an elementary schooler. Her Diary is very detailed and specific about how her future life would have gone. This includes sexual activities with her prospect VictoriousChildhoodFriend, Tabuki.* In ''Manga/MinamotoKunMonogatari'' a nameless young boy loves to caress Hanada's (one of the love interests of the protagonist, Terumi) breasts and ass on a day to day basis. The mother regularly scolds him but only when Hanada unintentionally gives him the cold shoulder [[spoiler: (after she had sex with Terumi)]] he became meek and finally started acting his age.* In ''LightNovel/MushokuTensei'' Rudeus is very much this from infancy to his teen years due to being the {{reincarnation}} of a rather dirty {{otaku}}. This is largely overlooked by others not because he's a child, but because he's a Greyrat, everyone of whom has weird tastes.** Ars as an infant is noted to always feel for the breasts of whoever picks him up. So long as they're female it's fine, but if it's a man he immediately starts crying.* ''Manga/OnePiece'' has Momonosuke from the Punk Hazard Arc.While taking a bath with Robin and hugging onto Nami's breasts , he comes off as an innocent child.... that is until he gives off a smug smile shows he has a dirty mind. This does not sit well with Sanji, Brook or Kin'emon* ''Manga/{{Pastel}}'' plays this off within the first chapter, when the kid named Okuto falls purposefully onto the main female lead,Yuu .He ends up grabbing her breast , infuriating the main character Mugi.* Johji from the Death-T arc in ''Anime/YuGiOh''.[[/folder]][[folder:Comic Books]]* Jose, Von Reichter's clone-son from ''ComicBook/{{Cybersix}}'' is a depraved rapist trapped in a 7 year old's body. Even in the LighterAndSofter animated series he often gets rather... grabby around beautiful women.* Konstantinopel from ''ComicBook/DeKiekeboes'' is also less innocent than in his earlier appearances. He is in love with an older woman in ''Schiet Niet Op De Pianist'' and at times intentional makes sexual remarks.* The main character of ''ComicBook/LePetitSpirou''. He goes towards a magazine store to buy adult magazines, is in love with his math teacher. Hell, even just looking at the front art gives you a brief indication that he's sexually attracted to older women.* ''ComicBook/{{Titeuf}}'' of the comic book named after him. Quite often, he makes sexual remarks and makes works that have sexual references (whether or not intentional).[[/folder]][[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]* Curtis one of the three killer kids from ''Film/BloodyBirthday'' is very perverted, he spies on his friend's older sister while she changes, looks at pornographic magazines, and he murders a couple after watching them have sex.* In telling his origin story, DonJuanDeMarco claimed to have started out this way [[spoiler: (but he was lying)]].* Freddie from ''Film/{{Splash}}'' was a pervert even as a child.* Baby Herman from ''Film/WhoFramedRogerRabbit''. He complains, at one point, about having [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "a fifty-year-old lust, and a three-year-old dinky."]] In a subversion, Baby Herman is [[OlderThanTheyLook really that old]], he just ''looks'' like a baby.** The character he plays as in the shorts may have elements of this, though, with Roger finding an adult magazine (complete with centerfold of Jessica) in his carriage at some point.[[/folder]][[folder:Literature]]* In John R. Powers' ''The Last Catholic in America'', we're introduced to one of Eddie Ryan's fifth-grade friends, Felix "The Filth Fiend" Lindor, thusly:--> Felix Lindor had enough dirt in his mind to apply for statehood. He had to have gone through puberty during his preschool years because he was already a dirty old man by the time he got to the first grade. He constantly made snide remarks about "Dick and Jane," and once when we were talking about "Superman," Felix told me what ''he'd'' do if he had X-ray vision. ** In the sequel, ''Do Black Patent Leather Shoes Really Reflect Up?'', Felix the Filth Fiend returns, this time attending the same high school as Eddie. Of course, since he's now a teenager, his character doesn't really qualify for this trope, but Eddie, the [[FirstPersonPerspective narrator]], does mention:--> Felix the Filth Fiend Lindor started taking an interest in the opposite sex the moment he realized which one he was opposite. Before he was old enough to attend school himself, he was already hanging around playgrounds with his pockets full of candy. In grammar school, during a civics class, the nun once asked Felix what would be the first legislative act he'd pass if he were a congressman. Felix said he'd outlaw slacks. [[/folder]] [[folder:Live-Action TV]]* Frederick Crane, on ''Series/{{Frasier}}'', grew up in a state of mutual adoration with Daphne Moon. Taking after his father with the ladies, Frederick exploits her maternal streak when he hits puberty, and hugs perhaps a little closer and more intimately than is appropriate. The only person not to notice the change in Frederick's focus is Daphne...* One episode of ''Series/{{House}}'' featured a young boy who was quite...interested...in Cameron, pinching her butt and attacking Chase when he displayed his "interest" in her as well. [[spoiler:Turns out, the father's testosterone cream had rubbed off on his kids, causing his eight-year-old son to experience puberty and all the [[TeensAreMonsters psychotic hormone changes]] that brings.]]* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':** Lily is a kindergarten teacher; in the pilot episode she comes home with a painty handprint on her (white) shirt. Three guesses where.** A later episode shows Lily and Marshall debating names for their upcoming child, looking for something gender-neutral that Lily won't associate with an obnoxious kid in her class. They settle on 'Jamie', but the next day she comes to the bar angrily with similar handprints, and says "NOT JAMIE!"* In the TV movie ''Film/AtomicTwister'', a teenage girl asks the little boy she's babysitting if he wants to do anything, as they are stuck in the house due to the weather. The boy gets out the game Twister, which she appears to accept as innocent fun, but it's obvious the boy is enjoying the physical contact the game involves.[[/folder]][[folder:Video Games]]* In the Eden level of ''VideoGame/DragonsLair II'', the Cherubs—who look no older than kindergartners—seem a little ''too'' interested in climbing around on Dirk, tickling him, holding him down and spanking him.* Nils Lutefisk from ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' tries to use his budding psychic powers to spy on the girls' cabin.-->'''Nils:''' My parents let me watch R-rated movies, so I think I know a ''little'' more about this than you do.[[/folder]][[folder:Western Animation]]* Stewie Griffin from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is definitely depraved and has shown attraction to several people of both genders (such as Brian).* The ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' kids, though they suffer from PingPongNaivete (not Kenny, he's dirty though and through!). Clyde Donovan is also a honorable mention; he held a speech about lesbian cheerleaders and ditched the World of Warcraft battle to read Playboy.* From ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Bart Simpson seems to swish back and forth. Sometimes he is well aware of sexual topics, other times he is innocent as a normal child his age would be. [[/folder]]----

Bargain Airfare For The Holidays
by Chris Malone
posted Oct 2 2013 5:03AM
It's hard to believe it but Thanksgiving and Christmas are a couple months away. So if you are planning to travel by air, here are some important dates on when to get the lowest price. Rick Seaney, CEO of FareCompare says that the prices of flight in fall usually take a dip because kids are back at school, and airlines stuggle to fill seats on plane between summer and the start of the holiday season. Seaney says between October and the first few weeks of November flights are cheap, and this time is called the "dead zone." The other dead zone occurs between a few days after Thanksgiving and continues through mid December or so. Seaney warns be careful of buying tickets too close to Thanksgiving as demand is much higher and therefore prices are higher too. Seaney says the most expensive days to fly are the day before Thanksgiving (November 27th) and the Sunday after Thanksgiving (December 1st). If you must fly for Thanksgiving, consider flying on Thanksgiving itself and you'll save a time at the airport and money.

Tennant's best episodes are ones like Blink, Gridlock, Silence in the Library, Midnight or Waters of Mars. Ones that like.. actually
Thankfully the writer of the abhorrent Rise of the Cybermen redeemed himself with my favourite New Who episode to date, The Girl Who Waited.
I loved Journeys End. It was a piece of art.
You have the worst Doctor Who taste of all-time. You seem to hold intelligent writing in contempt and genuinely seem to desire the series to be as stupid and simplistic as possible. I'm glad you're not getting your way.
YUCK YUCK YUCK! As I remember, I didn't like Blink much, I hate Doctor less episodes, Gridlock was average if that, SITL was quite good, Midnight was suprisingly good, but average, and waters of mars was a gooden. The girl who waited? THE GIRL WHO WAITED????? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????????/ That's in y top ten worst episodes of all time. Awfull soppy episode. Obe of the episodes which made me hate the Ponds even more.
No sorry, but you have one of the worst dr. who taste ever. Alot of people agree with me and think RTD is such a good writer and complicated stuff issn't the right way to go. You know one day whether it be many years or not, I will be getting my way again, so yeah.......
Tell me are you American by any chance? It seems that the Yankees have different taste to the Brits (I'm British BTW).

She will also be the town's new doctor. One of the first people she encounters is her ex-boyfriend, and Riley's father, Zach Bowden. She isn't prepared to tell him that he has a son. It appears that bad boy Zach is now a Christian. Will that make it any easier for Delia? Kastner's sweet second-chance story shows that looking to God for strength and wisdom, especially when confronting our past, is indispensable.

"When you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail." No where is this statement more true than in medicine. A perfect example is in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
If a doctor suspects their patient may be diabetic, they can run an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), in which the patient is given a glucose load, and subsequent blood response is measured to see how effectively the glucose is cleared from the blood. In a non-diabetic, the blood sugar only rises a relatively small amount, as the intact and functional beta cells of the pancreas secrete just the right amount of insulin to reduce the blood sugar levels to normal levels.
If a person is given an OGTT and their blood sugar spikes more than expected, then by definition they are glucose intolerant. They have failed their OGTT, and cannot tolerate carbohydrates the way a non-diabetic can.
In medical school, we are taught that the primary goal in treating diabetics is to keep blood sugar levels low, and that hemoglobin A1C levels are predictors of further disease progression. There are two major ways to control this blood glucose level, with what we put into our bodies as well as ways to control the blood glucose after it has already risen, such as insulin or other diabetes drugs, such as the alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are a category of drug that work by decreasing the absorption of carbohydrates in your gut, resulting in a smaller rise in blood glucose. However, the unabsorbed carbohydrates need to go somewhere, causing the predicted unpleasant side effects of stomach discomfort and diarrhea.
Now instead of taking a drug that will reduce our absorption of carbohydrates, result in various side effects and and cost additional money, why not just eat less of the very foods spiking the blood sugar in the first place? In other words, why would the American Diabetes Association tell us that a diabetic diet should be 40-50% of the calories from carbohydrates, when by definition, these are the very foods they cannot tolerate? Here is how they describe it on their meal planning page: How Much Carb?
A place to start is at about 45-60 grams of carbohydrate at a meal. You may need more or less carbohydrate at meals depending on how you manage your diabetes. You and your health care team can figure out the right amount for you. Once you know how much carb to eat at a meal, choose your food and the portion size to match. It seems equivalent to a person with a peanut allergy slightly lowering their peanut intake and just injecting him or herself with an epinephrine pen after each meal. Why not just stop eating peanuts and avoid the potential side effects of epi injections? Why don't they just not eat the carbohydrates in the first place? After all this was the treatment of diabetes in the pre-insulin era. Here is how Dr. Elliot Proctor Joslin described it in 1893: Diabetic treatment is of the first importance. The carbohydrates taken in the food are of no use to the body and must be removed by the kidneys thereby entailing polydipsia, polyuria, pruritis and renal disease...The beneficial effects were seen at once, and she was advised to "eat all the cream, butter and fatty foods possible. And here is how the Joslin Diabetes Center, named after Dr. Joslin above, describes it 120 years later: "Starchy foods, such as bread, pasta, rice and cereal, provide carbohydrate, the body's energy source. Fruit, milk, yogurt and desserts contain carbohydrate as well. Everyone needs some carbohydrate in their diet, even people with diabetes....The biggest difference between the USDA's guidelines and Joslin's is the recommendation of fewer carbohydrates and more protein in the diet, as recent studies have shown that this helps people eat less and lose weight... [diabetics should consume] 40 percent [of calories] from carbohydrates." Diabetes is diagnosed by demonstrating a glucose intolerance and therefore, the first line of therapy should be a reduction in glucose. Why is this logic not the first, most obvious treatment? Of course if the patient refuses, or they reduce their carbohydrates and their blood glucose levels continue to remain elevated, then further therapy is in order.
I believe it is because food is not "a hammer" physicians are equipped with. Medical training in nutrition is essentially absent apart from outdated vitamin deficiencies, yet doctors are expected to know it, so they default to the USDA's MyPlate for advice and information. This is seen as a constant, unchangeable variable in treatment of any food related disease, regardless of the etiology, given the label of "diet" or "lifestyle." Just the fact that alpha-glucosidase inhibitors are used as a treatment before a low carbohydrate diet confirms this.
Furthermore, if the patient is given a low fat high carbohydrate diet (as is the standard of care today) to manage their high blood sugar and they do comply with it meticulously, they will very likely need the insulin, alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, and/or metformin to control their daily dose of 180 grams of the very nutrient they cannot tolerate.
When you look for clinical trials testing this logic, you see things like this:
Hemoglobin A1C levels. Dark triangles are patients on the low carb, ketogenic diet. White triangles are patients on the low fat, high carb diet.
The triangle lines are the diabetic patients. The dark triangles represent those on a low carb, ketogenic diet. Their blood glucose and Hemoglobin A1C is significantly lower than those eating a low fat, high carbohydrate diet. This graph also illustrates how in non-diabetics (the circle lines), there is no difference, further supporting the fact that diabetics are carbohydrate intolerant ( via awlr.org ).
Once you have a basic understanding of how the three major macronutrients alter your blood glucose and insulin levels, devising a plan to reduce blood sugar levels becomes simple. Carbohydrates of all kinds raise blood glucose AND insulin

I ran into this couple on Sunday as they road through town and I thought I would share:
On 01.06.2003 we started our tour around the world in Limburg, a small city about 80 Km north of Frankfurt in Germany. Our plans were to travel around the world with our bicycles (and somertimes with a folding canoe or our packrafts) within 3 or 4 years. The reason for this tour is to see the world with our own eyes, instead of believing the bad news on TV. We are going to to meet the people in every country, to built up our own opinion, and so far we have only very good experiences.

Secretariat film screening and benefit
There hasn't been a Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978, so the pressure is on for 3-year-old thoroughbred Orb, who won the 139th Kentucky Derby last weekend. In advance of next week's Preakness Stakes in Baltimore, the Secretariat Foundation and Maryland Jockey Club will honor the 40th anniversary of the legendary Secretariat's 1973 Triple Crown, which made him the first horse in 25 years to earn the trophy. On Tuesday evening, join Penny Chenery, Secretariat's owner, and Ron Turcotte, Secretariat's jockey, for an evening to benefit the Secretariat Foundation's work in equine research, rehabilitation and recognition. The evening kicks off with a roundtable discussion sponsored by ESPN on the 1973 Preakness Stakes and the controversy surrounding the official winning time. The discussion will be followed by a screening of "Secretariat's Jockey, Ron Turcotte," a new documentary following the jockey's 16-year career, which ended with the tragic 1978 fall that left him paralyzed. Tuesday at the AFI Silver Theatre & Cultural Center, 8633 Colesville Road, Silver Spring 301/495-6700. Web: secretariat.com.
D.C. toasts the Black Mixology Club
It's no secret that Washington, D.C., wasn't very dry during Prohibition — and we have a plethora of bartenders serving up Prohibition-era cocktails created here to prove it. On Friday, join the area's best bartenders (and their fans) to celebrate World Cocktail Week and toast the black bartenders in particular who helped lubricate the city despite the restrictions. While enjoying some of the oldest-known cocktails, you'll hear the stories of cocktail legends like Dick Francis, a freed slave who mixed drinks for many members of Congress — and whose son would go on to earn a medical degree from Howard University. After you've loosened up a bit, dance to the city's signature go-go sound performed by another Washington legend, the Chuck Brown Band. Proceeds will benefit the Museum of the American Cocktail, a New Orleans-based organization devoted to preserving one of America's greatest culinary contributions to the world. Friday at the Howard Theatre, 620 T St. NW. 202/803-2899. Web: dctoasts.com.
World Bonsai Day
Saburo Kato, the third-generation owner of the renowned Mansei-en Bonsai Garden in Japan until his death a few years ago, believed that those iconic miniature trees could promote peace and friendship throughout the world. The art form dates back thousands of years and, according to the Kato family's philosophy, provided an outlet for contemplation and creativity for both grower and viewer, as bonsai are not grown for any reason other than pure enjoyment. On Saturday, the National Arboretum will celebrate World Bonsai Day with demonstrations by the Potomac Bonsai Association, curator-led arboretum tours, and an exhibit about Kato and the founding of the World Bonsai Friendship Federation. If you need some contemplation in your life, enter to win a bonsai of your own. While you're there, you won't want to miss the arboretum's other exhibits, including the azaleas that are in full bloom right now. Saturday at the National Arboretum, 3501 New York Ave. NE.

Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival
Behind many of America's jazz greats, including Duke Ellington, Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, was a great woman — Mary Lou Williams (1910-1981), an American jazz pianist, composer and arranger. Williams wrote and arranged for Ellington and was a mentor to Davis and Gillespie, among others. She began playing jazz piano at parties when she was just 6 years old, and by the time she was 15, she had played with Ellington and been praised by Louis Armstrong for her talent. This week, the Kennedy Center will open the 18th Mary Lou Williams Women in Jazz Festival honoring the "first lady of jazz piano" and her influence on jazz artists over the decades. The festival opens Thursday with a concert featuring the Tineke Postma Quartet, the Amina Claudine Myers Trio and Sheila Jordan and Jay Clayton, and continues through next weekend with headliner concerts as well as free performances on the Kennedy Center's Millennium Stage. Opens Thursday at the Kennedy Center, 2700 F St. NW. 800/444-1324. Web: kennedy-center.org.
The sun is shining (most days), the flowers are blooming, and the National Zoo's adorable endangered Andean bear cubs will be introduced to the public this weekend. It's definitely spring in Washington. And though it might be past bedtime for the cubs, who were born in December, the National Zoo will keep its doors open Thursday evening for ZooFari, the annual benefit featuring entertainment and serving bites by more than 100 local chefs. In addition to food tastings, enjoy wine tastings, pastry demonstrations, hands-on animal demonstrations and a silent auction with the opportunity to win a behind-the-scenes visit with the zoo's Asian elephants, including Bozie, who will join the herd this summer when she arrives from the Baton Rouge, La., zoo. VIP ticket holders will get the chance to try handcrafted cordials from Bloomery Plantation during a pre-event reception. Thursday at the National Zoo, 3001 Connecticut Ave. NW. 202/633-2614.

FBI Budget Cuts Risk U.S. Anti-Terror Operations, Mueller Says
The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reduced training and travel, delayed information-technology upgrades and faces the equivalent of 2,200 vacancies due to the budget cuts that went into place March 1, Director Robert Mueller said.
Mueller, who has led the FBI since 2001, told a House Appropriations subcommittee today that the reductions will result in around $550 million in cuts to the bureau's budget and may result in furloughs.
"We have planned for the possibility of furloughs," Mueller told the lawmakers. "Any furlough would pose a risk to FBI operations, particularly in the areas of counter-terrorism and cyber."
U.S. lawmakers are considering spending bills that may give the FBI more flexibility with its funds or, in the case of a House measure, restore some of the funds.
Representative Frank Wolf, a Virginia Republican and chairman of the panel, said he would be willing to approve FBI requests to move funds within the bureau if needed. Lawmakers, who provide funds for the agencies tied to specific purposes, are generally required to sign off on any efforts to move those funds elsewhere.
Congress mandated $1.2 trillion in across-the-board cuts over nine years, including $85 billion over the next seven months, as part of a 2011 deal to increase the U.S. debt limit.
Mueller predicted the more than 2,000 vacancies estimated to occur because of the budget cuts would set FBI personnel back almost two years.
"It's going to hurt tremendously," he said.
