Debt limit vote splits Md. Democrats
A proposal to raise the nation's $14.3 trillion debt limit without making significant cuts in federal spending failed in the House of Representatives Tuesday and split the Democratic members of Maryland's congressional delegation.
Reps. John Sarbanes, C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger and Donna Edwards supported the proposal, while Reps. Elijah E. Cummings, Chris Van Hollen and Steny Hoyer opposed it. All are Democrats. The state's two Republicans, Reps. Andy Harris and Roscoe G. Bartlett, both voted against the bill.
The bill, which failed 97-318, was brought to the House floor by Republicans who acknowledged early in the debate that they would not support it. The measure was intended to put Democrats in a political bind by forcing them to vote on a "clean" debt limit measure without spending cuts -- an idea they initially favored.
Republicans have sought to pair any vote to raise the debt limit with spending cuts. By supporting the measure Tuesday, Democrats left themselves open to attack that they are not serious about federal spending. Seconds after the vote, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, a Virginia Republican, used his Twitter account to blame Democrats for voting "blindly to raise the debt ceiling without real spending cuts."
Van Hollen, of Montgomery County, called the vote a "political stunt" and accused the GOP of "demagoguing the debt ceiling increase for political gain."
Edwards, who backed the measure, called the GOP move "irresponsible grandstanding."
All Republicans opposed the bill, but the Democratic caucus split, with 97 in favor, 82 opposed and seven voting present.
"Marylanders sent me to Congress to end Washington's spending spree – to get the economy moving and build an environment for positive job growth," Harris, a Baltimore County Republican, said in a statement. "A vote to yet again increase the debt limit without needed spending reductions would simply continue to kick the can down the road."
The U.S. reached its debt ceiling May 16, but the Treasury Department has said it can continue to pay the nation's bills until Aug. 2. As the deadline approaches, the issue promises to consume Congress. Several bipartisan groups of lawmakers, meanwhile, are negotiating behind the scenes in search of a compromise.
The House vote followed similar political maneuvering by Senate Democrats last week. In that case, Democratic leaders forced a vote on a 2012 budget approved by House Republicans, even though many GOP senators opposed the spending plan. That budget, drafted by Republican Rep. Paul Ryan, includes a major overhaul of the Medicare program.

Platies and tank cleaning/water changes
I have a 20 gallon tank that is mostly Platies (6- 2 male, 4 female) and I've noticed that Platies are basically small, aquatic Panda Bears. To put it less delicately, they poop a LOT. More than such a small creature should be able to.
I do test my water often, and stick to a water change schedule of approximately 30% every week- week and a half. So far they're okay, but it seems like the water levels cross the threshold from safe to danger zone REALLY quickly, like overnight. Of course, ANY ammonia or nitrites at all are "danger zone", but my concern is the levels getting high suddenly and me not catching it.
I'm currently running an Aquaclear 30 (went a size up on both of my tanks) and I have plenty of live plants.
My question is: would it be safe and beneficial to do water changes more frequently (maybe 20% every 5 days) and/or in a larger amount (40%-50%) in order to keep their water frm getting into the 'danger zone'? I don't want to do TOO much and kill the needed bacteria, but I dont like cutting it that close.
How old is the tank? Sound like a cycle is going on. I would use Seachem Prime or AmmoLock to detoxify ammonia but keep it available for the cycle to complete.
This is the normal and expected result of fish living, eating, and pooping in the water, only it hits 'critical mass' faster than expected. (Although maybe not "faster" for Platies...)
My concern is whether I can safely increase water changes to accommodate the 'critical mass' without negatively affecting the good bacteria in the aquarium, and if so, what would be the best way to do that (either a higher percent of water changed or just more frequent water changes).
I'm certain it's not an issue of overstocking. It's a 20 gallon tank with 6 Platies (not even fully grown-- maybe 1.5" each), one Golden Wonder Killifish (about 2.5"), and two Diamond Tetras (a little over 1" each). (Diamond Tetras are temporary; this issue existed well before they were introduced to the tank, and doesn't appear to be affected by their presence.)
I should also add that I am diligent about checking the filter, using a gravel vac when doing water changes, and cleaning the algae, etc. from the glass.
I'm unwilling to use chemicals as a) they will not solve the problem (levels will just continue to increase, not balance out eventually as with a cycling tank); and b) I don't feel they are a substitute for regular tank maintenance.
In my opinion the only reason for ammonia is a cycle. I also think that there is such a thing as too clean. Removing all the waste doesn't give bacteria enough food to thrive. I didn't suggest any chemicals to try to solve the issue but just to help create a safer environment for fish.
I'm definitely wary of the dangers of a too-clean aquarium; that's the concern that prompted me to post my question. :) I'm wondering whether it's better in terms of not getting the tank 'too clean' to change more water each time using my current schedule, or to change slightly smaller amounts more frequently than I do now.
Sorry my question wasn't more clearly worded before.
Well....I'm out of suggestions. I'll stick to my original hypothesis that your tank is cycling. Hope someone else can offer a different suggestion.
Posted via Mobile Device
A water change of 50% right away would definitely help alleviate the ammonia / nitrate issues for the immediate future. Since the majority of your bacteria is located on the interior surfaces of your tank (plants, decor, substrate, glass), don't worry about water changes negatively impacting the colonies. Water changes are nothing but good. Additionally, you might experiment with your feeding routine / amount. Lots of input = lots of output. Good lluck !

Check Out Deepfall Dungeon, a Free 3-D Dungeon Crawler
Last year's Legend of Grimrock gave something of a shot in the arm to the old-school dungeon crawling genre — at least by making a good example of it pretty highly visible. But if you're itching for some new grid-based monster-slayage, direct your attention to Deepfall Dungeon.
Deepfall is an indie dungeon crawler of the old-school variety, and it's notable because 1. the dungeon is involved and deep, 2. the user interface is accessible and clean, and 3. it's free. The game itself isn't quite as involved as some of the (paid) dungeon crawlers you might be used to, but it's a good time if you're wishing to experience a little bit of nostalgic fun.
You can snag Deepfall Dungeon from its website.
Thanks, PC Gamer and Free Indie Games.

Black Locust
Wood Anecdote
Black Locust
Black locust excels in hardness and durability, so pioneers cut it for fence posts. Shipbuilders, though, preferred it for masts.
When English naturalist Mark Catesby first visited Jamestown, Virginia, 100 years after its founding, he saw only the stark ruins of what the first inhabitants in 1602 had called home. But at each corner of the tumble-down huts remained a post-as solid as the day it was erected. He marveled at the still-sound wood, which had been named "locust" after an old-world look-alike.
Other colonists eventually learned of locust's longevitiy, too, because the tree became widely used. No wonder.
Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia), as it has come to be called, offers superb qualities. Because a locust's trunk contains mostly sapwood, it's strong. In drying, locust hardly shrinks. In stiffness, it outdoes hickory. Fighting decay, it outlasts white oak. Burned, a cord of black locust throws off the heat of a ton of coal. And machined and sanded, the wood takes on a high luster.
Yet, black locust has never attained commercial status. That's because in most of the areas where it grows the tree suffers from insect attack, leaving few trees sound enough to harvest. So instead of becoming commercial lumber, black locust winds up as fence posts, firewood, and railroad ties. Except for one fleeting moment of historical greatness, that's the way it has always been.
You see, a variety of black locust, caringly cultivated in the late 18th century in New Jersey and New York-especially Long Island-earned renown. The tree's straight, branchless trunk proved perfect for shipmasts. Even today in the area, you can still find examples of those once sought after "shipmast locusts."
Are they the same as in Louisiana ? These are bearing numerous long thorns . We call them "black locust" .6/18/2015 09:50:51 AM Report Abuse
We built our house in 1977 and there was an old black locust stump cut off flush with the ground that had been there what appeared to be a long time. It is still there and looks just like it did 37 years ago. My father and I build fence with black locust posts in the early 1950s and it was so hard that we held the fence staples with pliers to drive them into the posts. Some of those post are still standing and have outlasted the fence that was attached to them. So much for steel vs locust7/27/2014 05:00:21 PM Report Abuse

It is untreated Black Locust and is still intact today. Dad said that it was the only thing Locust was good for.

RISMEDIA, July 8, 2011—The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) released its Commercial Real Estate/Multifamily Finance Quarterly Data Book for the first quarter of 2011. First quarter data on the commercial real estate markets show the natural effects of the turn of the real estate cycle. Broader economic indicators were positive in the first quarter, but provided less of a tail wind to commercial real estate markets than they might have. Despite this softness, real estate fundamentals have stabilized and are beginning to show signs of mending. Transaction volumes are picking up, and pricing and loan performance are showing initial signs—inconsistent though they are—of improvement. Any pick-up in economic growth will speed the healing; any slowdown will draw out the cycle.
For most property types, vacancy rates remain elevated, transaction volumes remain muted and property prices remain below their peaks, but the natural ebb and flow of the real estate cycle is beginning to have an effect. Economic growth, coupled with a constriction in new supply in the wake of a real estate downturn, is helping to stabilize and mend the commercial real estate markets. The pace and shape of continued recovery will be driven by the rate of economic growth and by how investors and developers react to the market changes they see and foresee.
The Data Book compiles the most up-to-date information on topics of interest to commercial/multifamily real estate finance industry participants and observers including trends in property sales, originations, delinquencies and mortgage debt outstanding. For the full analysis please click here.

Franiqua, who her mother said was very shy before joining Camp Diva, admits she surprised herself by speaking up about something she used to never talk about. She was also surprised that Angela Patton understood. In fact, inspired by Franiqua, the "Dance of Their Own" event at the jail was created. Patton said since its beginning, she has taken girls ages five through 17 to the jail for the memorable evening.
The fathers who participate are serving sentences for non-violent crimes like drug possession. The sheriff usually greets the girls and escorts them in, handing them off to their dads. This year the event was held on June 8. Patton said Gov. Bob McDonnell attended, leading the girls in and delivering a "Father's Day message that was extremely supportive, not judgmental, and talked about giving second chances, co-parenting and re-entry.
"Dressed in suits, the attitudes of these grown men change," said Patton. "Then you can hear the girls oooing when they come in and see their fathers, especially those who may have never seen them in anything other than pants hanging below their waists.
"A radio personality announces each father and daughter. The daughter is on the father's arm and he pulls out her chair and makes sure she takes her seat."
During the night, there are activities aimed at getting father and daughter to talk to one another and to build memories. Each father and daughter receives a journal. The daughter writes on the first page of the father's book and he writes on the first page of hers. Each gives a video message to the other also and the messages are incorporated in a personalized CD given to each girl and father later as a memento.
"Leaving is always very emotional, but they leave with a memory and a sense of hope," Patton said. "We always end in a circle after a Soul Train line."
Camp Diva keeps in touch with both father and daughter. While the two are at their date at the jail, the organization also holds a special spa event for the mothers, introducing them to other support programs Camp Diva offers. All of the efforts are geared at building a healthy relationship between the mother and father, one that sustains and nurtures their daughter.
Patton is meeting with 20 wardens soon who are interested in possibly having Camp Diva put on similar events at their facilities. It's a model she hopes will be used by grass roots organizations nationwide.
Patton knows the events are making a difference.
"I ran into a mother visiting her husband at the jail. "Inside Edition" did a story on our father-daughter dance at the jail and this woman's daughter was in it—maybe five seconds. The woman told me they taped it and she said, 'My daughter watches it every day before school–and when she gets home.' It was only five seconds, but it gives her hope."
Unfortunately, the inspiration for "Dance of Their Own," Franiqua Davis, has not been able to dance with her father, who is in a prison hours away from Richmond. He has been incarcerated for 12 years, since she was a toddler, but he is scheduled to come home this November and Franiqua says the two of them are already looking forward to the community "Date with Dad Dinner and Dance to be held March 16, 2014.
"She's never been to one of the dances, but she has talked to the girls all about it," said Patton." She saved her dance for her dad. I told her that's some kind of love."
Meanwhile, Franiqua, said she is "really, really excited" about her father coming home. And she is happy she spoke up when questioned by Patton about the community dance.
"It's okay to speak up if you don't like something," said the tenth grader who wants to be a doctor. "You can speak your mind in a positive way and things can change."

He's owed money, he's got a daughter and a grandson out in the world who he needs to catch up with, and he has to get acclimated to a (criminal) society that has changed greatly in the time he's been away. And Dom Hemingway is coming for everything full throttle.
Jude Law stars in the delightfully foul upcoming comedy "Dom Hemingway," and to get you in the spirit of the flick, six clips have dropped online. They're a bit naughty, with nudity and copious amounts of cursing throughout, but they also hit right on the vibe of the Richard Shepard written and directed flick. Dom has answer for everything and no filter in a movie we called "a big piece of raunchy entertainment, that goes down like a night of whiskey and beer, but without the hangover."
Co-starring Richard E. Grant, Demian Bichir and Emilia Clarke, "Dom Hemingway" opens on April 2nd. Watch below.

The statement by Jr NTR on Saturday evening that he had no differences with the TDP and that he would be working for the party for ever has come as a great relief for the party leadership, particularly its president N Chandrababu Naidu.
In an interview, after the release of his latest film, Dammu, Jr NTR said that certain things were happening without his involvement. "Many things are being attributed to me and I am at a loss not knowing how to react", he said.
The stoic silence maintained by Jr NTR and his father N Harikrishna for quite some time had led to speculations that there were serious differences between the Nara and Nandamuri families. Harikrishna not playing a role in the party activities and his absence from the politburo meetings gave credence to such speculations.
Vallabhaneni Vamsi, TDP's Lok Sabha candidate in 2009 election, meeting YSRCP president Jaganmohan Reddy at Vijayawada and hugging him in public was also seen as an act which was encouraged by the father and son.
Referring to this recent controversy, Jr NTR said he had nothing to do with it and said, "Vamsi, for me is just a producer of the film Adurs". He clarified that he is with TDP and will continue to be with it. "Why would I differ with the party which was founded by my grandfather? If I take a stand once, I will stand by it till my last breath," he stressed.
On joining politics, he said he is just 28 and too young for politics. He said, "I do not know anything about politics. At a later stage, may be after 25 years or more, I may or may not enter politics." He also denied that there were any differences between him and other family members. "I campaigned for the party in 2009 with a particular objective and that will remain unchanged."
He hoped that this would put an end to the ongoing controversy that there were differences between the party leadership and his family. "Whatever, I or my family is today, is because of the blessings of my grandfather and hence there is no question of distancing from the party", NTR said.
There were also speculations that the differences between the two families arose since last Mahanadu as Naidu wanted to promote his son as his successor in TDP. Though Naidu denied any such move, the speculations did not die down. Political circles now say that Naidu's brother in law, N Balakrishna played a major role in bringing the rapprochement between the two families.

Hello, though most people are afraid too, I did. My baby is 2 months old today, and already she eats baby food, cereal, breastmilk and baby oatmeal, and when i have to drins formula. I would say it depends on your baby. Try it out, 1 tableapoon to start with 4 oz's breastmilk or formula, wait to give your baby anymore, until they have a poop to see if they can digest it, before you give them anymore. Than you'll know if your baby can handle cereal, but I say why not? I went from on demand breast feeding every hour, now, at 2 months, My Little Audrey eats 4 oz's formula, or breastmilk or whatever I can give plus formula, baby food and cereal, before bedtime, and she'll sleep for 12-13 hours, than she'll wake up and I'll BreastFeed her or formula feed al day, and then for dinner, the food, milk and cereal. I geet more sleep, and she feels full, so everyone's SUPER HAPPY!!! Hope this helped, and GoodLuck!posted 09/13/2010 by Chloe09+Audrey10_Mom
not recomended, there intestins and tummy is not ready to handle food. I know it seems like your feeding the baby all the time but give it a few more weeks and it will slow down. when my son was born 4+ mon ago i too felt like i wasnt giving my daughter enough mommy time, so any time i had to feed the baby i asked her if she wanted me to read to her. she loved it. i would finish a book and have her run and get me another. If you bottle feed you can prop the baby up on a pillow and do an activity with your daughter while in the same room as the baby. Also on days i eat small meals i noticed my son nursing more, so i decided to bump up my calorie intake and he went back to his regular eating time. So try eating foods with more calories and see if that helps. If you want more ideas let me know :) Hope these help :)posted 08/31/2010 by yellowrosekay
Most of these answers will sabotage your breast feeding supply and some of them are down right dangerous. You'd be best to check with a well-informed pediatrician who is up to date with the latest infant studies. Cereal in a bottle is an aspiration hazard and no responsible doctor will advise you to use that as a trick to make an infant sleep more.posted 09/17/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
I did. I would say yes. Try 2-3 ozs of Breast Milk and 1 tablespoon of rice cereal. :-) It helps my 7 week old sleep great! :-)posted 09/03/2010 by Chloe09+Audrey10_Mom
6 weeks seems a bit early to add solid type foods. If you are tapped dry maybe you could give him a little formula in addition to the breast milk.posted 09/02/2010 by tnkitty
I started adding baby cereal to my son's breastmilk when he was 2 weeks old. his pediatrician told me to cause my son lost alot of wieght right after he was born. he was 7lbs when born and went down to almost 4lbs in 2 weeks. So his pediatrician suggested to do that. he didn't nurse as much and started gaining wieght. So yes you can.posted 03/23/2011 by kammyb86
Absolutely NOT! Six weeks is WAY TOO EARLY! Nothing solid before 4 months PLEASE! I know it's tough but it's not about you.posted 10/25/2014 by rozhasrisen
My little man is having vomiting issues... Someone told me to try a little cereal in his breastmilk bottle to see if it helps. He typically eats 5-6 oz but vomits up 1-1.5oz during/after eating. I have tried smaller more frequent meals but it just makes him mad and he has to puke more often. We have had an ultrasound done to rule out Pyloric Stenosis, but I am at my wits end with all the puking. We are changing his pediatrician because it took an act of God to get them to schedule the ultrasound and since it was normal, they want to label him as a "happy spitter!" 1-1.5 oz each feeding is not spitting up! That is vomiting and not normal! Any advice would be appreciated!posted 09/18/2013 by JRMsmomma
I had this same problem with my first son. He had two different pediatricians. At 4 MONTHS he was still not making it even close to through the night and I asked the first Dr. about cereal in the bottle and he had a FIT!!! At 5 months he STILL wasn't sleeping through the night. I switched DR's and the knew ones first suggestion was "put cereal in his bottle" LOL! I did and he slept 13 hours that night!!!! My poor baby was HUNGRY. Ask your DR. but also your his/her mom and you know your baby best!posted 03/24/2013 by lolli mo
My mother put cereal in milk when i was coming up & i have done so with both of my children & neither one of them have had any weight problems/stomach problems or any other problems. It really just depends on your baby. I can also so that it doesnt cause obesity i am 31 yrs old 5ft 2in tall and my average weight is 125-130lbs as a healthy adult. It depends on your genetics & your eating habits. My middle child *my 1st son was very skinny even with adding the cereal to his bottle. My newborn is now 1week & 2days & i feel like a milk maid all i do is nurse & pump! So i will wait until he is 2weeks before i start adding cereal & i plan to supplement with organic formula for when his dad feeds him!posted 01/08/2013 by Jocelyn721

We're just days away from seeing the much-hyped Breaking Dawn Part I wedding scene, and a few Twilight cast members are letting bare-bones details slip.
"Rob [Pattinson] looked like a stud," Kellan Lutz tells InStyle.com. "And Kristen Stewart is just stunning. She really made everyone turn heads. She looked so beautiful."
According to Pattinson, Stewart did turn heads — and for good reason. "I'd seen her in the wedding dress, but pretty much everyone in the cast hadn't seen her," he told Ann Curry Thursday during a chat on Today. "So when she's walking down the aisle and everyone turns around to her, it's genuine curiosity because there was so much secrecy about it."

Thank you sfa and daryl for your replies. I'll look at that dynamic-range thing although I don't have a slightest idea what it is for :)) Thanks again for your prompt replies.
Normally the RAW->JPEG conversion is linear. But ... if you set the D-Range highlight expansion then the conversion curve gets slightly rounded off at highlight, thus getting you one more stop of dynamic range in the highlights. But there are no free lunch. To be able to fit that extra dynamic range you have to expose less. And thats what you do if you set a higher ISO.

David Adkins (Broadway's "St. Joan") will be Malvolio; Darius de Haas (Broadway's "Kiss of the Spiderwoman," "Carousel," "Rent,") will be Feste; Lucas Hall (Off-Broadway's "The Merchant of Venice," "Othello," "All's Well That Ends Well") will be Orsino; David Schramm (Broadway's "Finian's Rainbow," "Bedroom Farce," "Tartuffe") will be Sir Toby Belch and Mahira Kakkar ("Romeo and Juliet," "Coriolanus") will be Viola in the Westport Country Playhouse production of William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night, or What You Will."
Artistic director Mark Lamos will stage the play which runs Oct. 11 through Nov. 5.
Also featured are: Jordan Coughtry ("Romeo and Juliet," "Hamlet," "Othello") as Sir Andrew Aguecheek; Rick Ford ("Henry V," "Cyrano de Bergerac") as Captain/Priest; Donnetta Lavinia Grays (Broadway's "In the Next Room or the vibrator play") as Maria; Justin Kruger ("A Midsummer Night's Dream") as Fabian/Valentine; Rachid Sabitri ("Rafta Rafta," "Twelfth Night," "Romeo and Juliet") as Sebastian; ; Paul Anthony Stewart (Broadway's "Fiddler on the Roof," "Cyrano") as Antonio; and Susan Kelechi Watson (Broadway's "A Naked Girl on the Appian Way") as Olivia.
Also: Nakeisha Daniel and Kimberly Maresca as Olivia's Attendants; and Myron Lee and Chris Ryan as Orsino's Attendants.
It will be the final mainstage show of the 2011 season for the theater, which is celebrating its 80th year.
"I first encountered this magical play as an actor at the American Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut [and which starred Lynn Redgrave]," says Lamos. "It was the play's remarkable mix of comedy and pathos, sadness and joy that meant so much to me. Though I'd acted quite a bit of Shakespeare by then, this play seemed unusually rich, strange and satisfying. The chance to revisit a play in which music is the food of love--and happiness and melancholy are entwined so perceptively and humorously-- is irresistible."
Lamos has directed almost 30 productions of Shakespeare plays -- many at Hartford Stage where he was artistic director in the '80s and '90s -- and multiple productions of "Twelfth Night," "Romeo and Juliet," "Cymbeline," "The Taming of the Shrew," "As You Like It," "Antony and Cleopatra," "Pericles," "The Tempest," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Hamlet," "The Merchant of Venice," "Measure for Measure," "Much Ado about Nothing," "All's Well That Ends Well" and "Julius Caesar."
Lamos will be talking about the play in the October issue of American Theatre magazine.

The search is still on for a man who tried to kidnap a girl from a Tallahassee elementary school.
The brazen hallway grab stunned parents and teachers.
Now, deputies are upping patrols in the neighborhood in hopes of spotting the man with the amber glasses.
Folks who live near Ruediger Elementary can't believe someone would be so bold as to try to snatch a student right out of a school hallway.
"It's scary that somebody would actually go onto the school grounds and try to grab a girl, that's just shocking," says Patrick Kelley. He lives near Ruediger Elementary and has two children who went to school there.
We met Marlow Matherne as he and his daughters walked home from a nearby park. "It's pretty scary, but I have lived in this neighborhood for a long time and it's a pretty safe neighborhood as far as I'm concerned," he said.
Deputies have increased patrols in the neighborhoods in and around Tharpe Street and Martin Luther King in hopes of spotting the suspect. They have also knocked on the doors of more than a dozen of sex offenders who live near the school.
"We have attempted to contact all the offenders and predators within a two mile radius of the school," said LCSO Captain Rob Swearingen. However, he said deputies did not discover anything on those rounds that would link them to the abduction attempt.
Deputies say the teacher, who thwarted the kidnapping, will help them craft a composite sketch once school resumes on Monday. For now, the description of a black man in his 20's with amber tinted glasses is the best they've got.
If you have any information on that man, who he might be, where he might be, you are asked to call the Leon County Sheriff's Office at 850-922-3300.

When Celine Wolff steps onto the Madera South High School campus she is surrounded by nearly twice the number of people that populate her entire hometown of Groß Bülten, Germany.
"It's much bigger than in Germany," the exchange student said in a distinct German accent. "I only have one school building over there. We stay in our own classrooms and the teachers come to us."
The 16-year-old junior has been in the United States for just eight weeks, but already she has made friends at the high school and has settled well into her schoolwork.
"At the beginning it was difficult," she said. "In every class I have people I understand well. Every week I have more friends and know more people. I am practicing for the basketball team, but at the moment I don't know if I should join a club; there are many students who tell me about their clubs." ...

Over four months in early 2012, students and faculty collaborated to generate over sixty highly diverse strategies for thinking about the Botanical Gardens today and its potential addition of an Orangery. Through the hands-on creative process, the Gardens staff and volunteers, UB faculty and students and outside design critics collaborated and a great and rigorous project emerged. This project explored not only the Orangery but the essence of the Botanical Gardens' existing buildings, its collections, origins, possibilities today and implications for the future. The life of the Botanical Gardens, its horticulture collection, staff, volunteers, its influence on visitors and the community were all considered as alive and changing - as having Lifecycles.
This formed the basis for a design studio entitled, LifeCycles. The studio asked students to consider the growing and evolving roles of time itself in the design process, planning, construction and use of complex, often hybrid programmed buildings such as the Botanical Gardens. Students' work dealt with heat and ventilation controls, lighting, spatial organization and movement of visitors. The studio, taught by professors Jordan Geiger, Coordinator; Brian Carter; Nerea Feliz; Curt Gambetta and Brad Wales, considered how we think about nature and how it translates into our modern buildings. The buildings' relation to horticultural sciences, shifting global patterns, migration and climate change were also considered. The studio concluded that the Botanical Gardens and the surrounding landscape (interior and exterior environments) must be considered a combined architectural-landscape object that needed to compliment and contrast with the existing structure's simple separation of interior and exterior spaces. At the end of the semester, students, faculty, staff, volunteers, and outside design critics collaborated to choose six diverse designs from the studio to be part of the LifeCycles exhibit at the Botanical Gardens.
As the Botanical Gardens looks toward a sustainable future, these projects and models are important to promote creative and thoughtful visions for the future. Visitors will be able to enjoy these creative scale models and consider the possibilities of reinventing the Botanical Gardens' interior and exterior spaces.
The LifeCycles exhibit is included with admission to the Botanical Gardens. Admission tickets can be purchased at the door for $9 adults, $8 seniors (55+), $8 students (13+ with ID), $5 kids (3-12), Garden Members and kids under 3 are free!

Abuse taints life in country these people call home
By Saskia Konynenburg
Some members of Whangarei's Asian community say they face constant persecution and racial abuse, leaving them feeling unwelcome in New Zealand.
A group of Asian teenagers contacted the Northern Advocate saying they were often harassed and many of their peers had "experienced aggression from a very small but disturbing minority in Whangarei".
Despite having spent most of their lives in New Zealand, they were still made to feel like foreigners in a country they called home.
Their concerns comes as new Census figures show New Zealand's Asian population has grown to 9 percent, surpassing Pacific Islanders for the first time – and prompting some to complain of an "Asian Invasion".
However, the Census figures show little grounds for a racist backlash in Northland, where the Asian population is not even 2 percent.
Nickie Muir, the group's English tutor, said she had seen the racism first-hand. She described how a carload of youths yelled at her students: "Go back to your own country."
"I was quite shocked and the kids claim this sort of abuse is not uncommon. When they wrote the letter, I realised there was a problem," she said. All the pupils had experienced racism, she said.
The authors of the letter wanted to stay anonymous as they feared further abuse. They also didn't want to be seen as "moaning".
"We don't complain in general because we just don't want the hassle but many of us have spent more time in New Zealand than we did in `our' countries and many more of us were born here. Our cultural identity therefore is here."
One Korean resident who has seen racist threats is Young Ho Bae, who owns two shops in Whangarei. He was bashed in his central city store, Your Living, in October in what he says was a racially motivated attack by up to 15 youths.
"I have people shouting things at me, I get rude finger gestures and eggs thrown at my car. It is usually by young people but not always. I've been abused and my wife has also been physically attacked.
"I think Asian people are targeted because we look different. If someone from Europe moves here, no one can tell that they're not a Kiwi. We Asians stick out and our English isn't always that good," said Mr Bae, who has lived in New Zealand for 14 years.
"My kids have been picked on and it is hard for them because they were born here. They feel like New Zealanders so they don't like the racism," he said.
One woman, who wished to remain anonymous, said racism had decreased since she moved to New Zealand from South Korea six years ago – but there was still a problem.
"We still get people coming into our shop and saying things like, `Oh you're just a bunch of Ching Chongs'. However, the racism is seeming to get less. It was much harder at first," she said.
"I still don't feel at home and welcome here. The population of New Zealand is changing and becoming more diverse and people just need to accept this."
A spokesperson for the Human Rights Commission said most racial discrimination in Northland focused on Maori-Pakeha relations, but discrimination against other groups was likely to flare up as more migrants arrived.
Last year, the commission received 491 complaints of discrimination on the grounds of race, colour or ethnic or national origins, down from 597 in 2005.
Many were employment-related, such as racial harassment by co-workers, reluctance of employers to employ people who were visibly different, and people being required to speak only English at work. Racial harassment accounted for 24 percent of the complaints.
The commission urged people to call its information line on 0800 496 877 for advice or to log complaints.
The Advocate's editorial on this issue is spot on:
Anti-Asian attitudes are a disgrace
Laura Franklin, Editor
What kind of society are we living in when Asian teenagers feel harassed and victimised to the extent that they decide to send an anonymous letter to the newspaper, asking for understanding?
Today we examine a reported racist streak in Whangarei that has shown itself, at its worst, in the form of an attack on a shopkeeper and also in many other incidents of abuse and prejudice.
Some of the young people who say they have suffered from anti-Asian taunts and threats have in fact grown up in New Zealand. Many of them feel as "Kiwi" as the next kid – and yet they look different, and so they find themselves to be singled out.
All of this is especially saddening since Northland prides itself on the quality of the welcome it gives to visitors and locals alike. Ask anybody who lives here what this region feels to be its most important values, and "friendliness" and a "laidback nature" will usually be mentioned near the top of the list.
For the majority of people here, those accolades are true. This is indeed the type of region where people still smile at each other on the street, pass the time of day in a store and take the time to chat with their neighbours.
How disappointing, then, that certain sectors of the community may be feeling that acceptance is denied to them.
Small-minded bigots who victimise others on the basis of race – or any other arbitrary characteristic – drag all of us down.
It's particularly concerning that some of those dishing out the hatred and bias seem to be teenagers themselves. Where are our young people learning to judge one another so harshly and unreasonably?
One doesn't have to look far for an answer. Recent reports that census figures showed a 9 percent increase in New Zealand's Asian population drew forth a distasteful barrage of opinion on talkback radio, and no doubt in homes around the country.
Many seemed to overlook the detail that the "Asian" category in the New Zealand census takes in people from India, the Phillippines, Cambodia and Sri Lanka as well as Chinese, Koreans and Japanese. A large chunk of the world, in fact.
English people still number the highest among immigrants to New Zealand. Australians and South Africans are arriving on our shores in large numbers also.
Those migrants, from wherever they hail, will by their very nature be enterprising and motivated. Anyone – of any background – who leaves their homeland to establish a new life in a new country must have high levels of courage, adventurousness and an open-minded attitude.
The opposite, in other words, to the type of person who will never venture outside his small circle, never expand his horizons, and who will never learn to treat people of other racial groups with the respect that all of us deserve.

Despite all the crimes Al Capone was linked to during his lifetime, from bootlegging to prostitution to murder, the one charge that ever stuck for the notorious Chicago mob boss was tax evasion. The biggest name of the Prohibition Era was out behind bars for not paying his taxes.
In 1931, Capone was sentenced to 11 years for not paying $215,000 plus interest in taxes. Capone didn't serve out the full sentence, but sending him away to jail dissolved Capone's ties to organized crime.

Home » Summer 2007 » "The Future of Sexuality Research" Conference
This past April, researchers from a wide spectrum of disciplines gathered on the campus of Indiana University for the inaugural conference of the University Consortium for Sexuality Research and Training (UCSRT), hosted by The Kinsey Institute.
In the keynote address, Dr. Martha McClintock, Ph.D. used the example of her research on odor, pheromones, and sexual selection to call for a transdisciplinary approach to sexuality issues. "The challenge is to learn to speak across disciplines," McClintock urged, "respecting the value of various contributions and perspectives."
The conference, "The Future of Sexuality Research: Methodological to Social Policy Innovations," attracted a range of newer academic researchers and independent scholars, as well as many sex research pioneers. Participants represented diverse fields of study, approaches, and levels of expertise.
"Our mission was to define some of the next generation topics, create a new interdisciplinary conversation, and also to help the younger pool of scholars find new and significant networking relationships with older scholars," said Dr. Gil Herdt, member of the steering committee and director of UCSRT.
Plenary presentations and research displays considered specific research under the broad topics of sexual citizenship and health policy, sexual identities, and divergent methodologies. Topics included the consideration of race, religion, global politics, gender identities, and youth culture.
One recurring theme was the effort to find effective ways of translating research findings in order to make meaningful data available to policy makers. Participants emphasized the need to work as advocates on issues of sexual policy, health, and human rights.
Borrowing from the title of a presentation by Dr. Deborah Tolman, the conference proved to be "solidly edgy," exploring innovative methods of inquiry, collaboration, and research.
The full program booklet with abstracts is available online:
Collaborations continue to happen through the UCSRT Dialogues website, www.ucsrt.org.
