Cultivation 101: Single Digging to Repair Soil
Single digging is so called because it involves turning over the soil to the depth of a single spade blade.
Step 1: Create a Trench
Start by digging out the soil from the first strip. Work from the front to the back of the strip, and create a trench one spade or "spit" deep and one spade wide. Place the excavated soil on the surface to one side of the trench.
Step 2: Dig Second Strip
Add organic matter, such as well-rotted manure or garden compost, to the bottom of the trench. Then dig out the second strip as in step 1, but place the soil into the first trench, so that it covers the organic matter that has already been added.
Step 3: Add Organic Matter
Add some more organic matter to the second trench, using a fork to break it up if necessary. Fill in this second trench using the soil dug out from the first. You can dig larger plots in the same way, dividing them up into several strips.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The New Orleans Pelicans will try to halt a six-game
losing streak Wednesday night when they welcome Southwest Division rivals, the
Houston Rockets, to New Orleans Arena.
The Pelicans haven't won since Jan 3 in Boston and three of the losses on this
recent slide came in the Big Easy.
It's easy to figure out why the Pelicans have struggled. Leading scorer Ryan
Anderson took an ugly fall in the Celtics game, suffered a herniated disc and
acknowledged he could be done for the season.
"I have my fingers crossed (to return this season)," Anderson said. "I will be
praying for that. Obviously I was to be back as soon as possible. (But) this
is something that if I got hit again, it could be more than just career
ending. So I want to be careful about it."
At minimum, Anderson will be shut down for two months.
All-Star point Jrue Holiday is out of action for the immediate future with a
stress fracture in his right tibia. Tyreke Evans is questionable for
Wednesday's game with a sore left ankle, which has cost him the last two
On Saturday, the Pelicans were game, but didn't have enough to hold off the
San Antonio Spurs. New Orleans fell at home, 101-95.
"We had our chances tonight and we just didn't execute down the stretch," New
Orleans head coach Monty Williams said.
Anthony Davis filled the stat sheet with 22 points, 11 rebounds, three steals
and two blocks for New Orleans. Brian Roberts scored 19 points, while Eric
Gordon added 12 points and Austin Rivers registered 11 off the bench in the
The Rockets have won two in a row and Wednesday's tilt will end a four-game
road trip. Houston dropped the opener in Atlanta, but topped Washington and
Boston before reaching New Orleans.
Against the Celtics on Saturday, Dwight Howard scored 32 points, grabbed 11
rebounds and made enough free throws down the stretch to lift the Rockets to a
104-92 victory.
Jeremy Lin recorded 16 points and nine assists, James Harden netted 16 points
as well and Chandler Parsons returned from a three-game absence to add 14
points for the Rockets.
"It was really good tonight. I thought it was going to be a lot more sore,"
Parsons said of his injured knee that kept him sidelined.
Terrence Jones registered a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds. Omri
Casspi also netted 12 for the second unit.
The Rockets return to Houston for a five-game homestand Friday with the
Oklahoma City Thunder in town. Milwaukee, Portland, Sacramento and Memphis
also visit Space City.
The Rockets beat the Pelicans earlier this season and have taken seven of the
last 10 meetings. Houston, however, has lost seven of its last 10 in New

|100 years old: Albert Bahler celebrates life
|Written by Darci Tomky
Whether he was farming, milking his dairy cows or playing trombone, Albert Bahler has watched Holyoke grow from dirt streets and horses and buggies to what it is now. In his 100 years, he's experienced several wars, the Dust Bowl, the Depression and unthinkable sadness, but through it all he and his wife Annie still say, "It's the best life you could ever ask for."
Born in the small town of Oregon, Mo. Sept. 18, 1909, Albert grew up on the family farm. Still looking to farm, Albert's dad bought land in Colorado. At 9 years old, Albert and his family packed up and set out for Holyoke in 1919—the place where Albert would live ever since. The Bahlers' possessions were shipped by train and the family made the long trek by car.
Albert, the second oldest, lived with his two sisters and one brother on their farm southeast of Holyoke. He attended Pleasant Valley school through the eighth grade.
"Everybody worked hard then," said Albert, recalling he got his first Hereford cattle in 1928—the beginning of a treasured profession and hobby. Not only did Albert raise registered Hereford cattle, he also showed and sold them at the Stock Show for 30 years.
In addition to cattle, Albert farmed corn, wheat and alfalfa hay. He said he started off farming with horses, switched to tractors for a short time and then went back to horses. He remembers buying his first tractor in 1942 for $1,200. You just can't get equipment for that price any more, he said.
Ten Holstein baby calves began a new venture for Albert—dairy farming. He bought the calves in 1945 and ran the dairy until 1986. Albert said they milked twice a day, and 80 head of cattle was the most he milked at a time.
Referring to Albert's wife Annie, some have asked him lately, "Well how'd you put up living with Annie for 100 years?" and Albert simply replies, "I don't think I could find a 100-year-old woman, but maybe two 50-year-olds."
Despite the jokes, it's obvious Albert and Annie have gone through a lot together in their 76 years of marriage.
Both Albert and Annie have lived in Holyoke for 90 years, both of their families moving to the area in 1919. Ironically enough, they didn't cross paths until 1931. Albert was playing trombone in an orchestra at a dance that Annie happened to be attending, and the rest is history. The two married in 1933 when Annie was only 16 and had three sons together.
After spending one year at Albert's parents' place, the couple lived in town for one year. For 12 years they lived at the E.A. Stickle Ranch followed by 52 years at their home just southeast of Holyoke. The past 10 years they lived in a house in town and moved to the Carriage House just last Sunday.
Even though the Bahlers have experienced much tragedy in losing their sons—Bob, Bill and Jack, they rejoice in their three granddaughters and seven great-grandchildren.
One thing that stands out about Albert and Annie is their view of money. Albert recalled living through the Depression era and simply said nobody could borrow money because nobody had any credit. It taught us the value of money, said Albert.
He remembered how his dad had bought land for $60 an acre and then sold it for a mere $12.50 an acre during the Dust Bowl.
Albert and Annie lived by the rule that they would never buy anything they couldn't pay for. As a result, the Bahlers have never had any debt and never had a single credit card. Because of their strong work ethic, Albert and Annie have been able to retire with plenty of money and haven't had to worry about paying off debt.
Annie regards themselves as being "mighty lucky" and says they "couldn't have found a better community." Albert and Annie have gotten involved in the Holyoke community the last 90 years whether it was attending the Lutheran church or Albert's 20 years of trombone playing in his band.
Although the Bahlers have "quit running around now," in the past they have enjoyed some traveling with two cruises and a couple bus tours in the U.S.
Now regarded as a centenarian, Albert celebrated his much anticipated 100th birthday Friday, Sept. 18. Albert's older sister also lived to be 100 years old, and Albert joined fellow Holyokite Velma Biddle who reached the century-mark in August. Among all his birthday festivities, Albert was excited to get a birthday card all the way from Japan as well as a hand delivered card from Eileen Rudder of Holyoke who will also be turning 100 in December.
There is no doubt Albert still holds his claim to being the oldest man in Phillips County, and he certainly continues to add to his countless number of memories from the past 100 years.

In response to Bookboy007's comment:
Look at where his career numbers fit all time?
Product of the system. Even a stiff like Alex Auld put up Vezina-like numbers in Boston's defensive "system" (with a worse D-core at that) years back. Stick Rask on a team that cant play defense like Philly, and he is the one with the 2.78 GAA getting run out of town like Bryz right now.
What makes Thomas not a product of the system, then? The fact his team scored a ton of goals in his 4 SC Final wins while Rask's team couldnt score in triple OT?

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Parker Smith scored 18 points and Charles McRoy had 14 to lead North Florida to a 72-47 victory over Florida A&M on Thursday.
Travis Wallace and Ray Rodriguez had 12 points each for the Ospreys (3-4) in their lone home game in a 12-game stretch.
The Rattlers (1-6) were led by Reggie Lewis with 13 points.
North Florida opened the second half with a 7-2 spurt for a 46-32 lead on David Jeune's layup 1:42 in and pushed it 59-36 on Wallace's layup midway through the half.
The Ospreys' lead never dipped below 19 points from there.
Florida A&M made the first bucket, but when North Florida's Cameron Naylor made two foul shots, the Ospreys led 18-8 with 12:50 left. North Florida maintained at least an eight-point lead and made it 39-23 on Charles McRoy's dunk with 1:45 left.
The Rattlers cut it to 39-30 at halftime.

Great fit, holds tight
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Great fit for my Ford Fusion. Holds the bike very well. Attached a photo for reference.
can i install on the VW Golf?
Without knowing the model year of that car, I'd say double check on Thule's site using their fit guide - but it looks like it will work for a VW Golf!
Can it be fitted Lexus RX350/2013??...
Can it be fitted Lexus RX350/2013?? thanks
Hey HP Lee,
Yes this trunk rack will fit nicely on your 2013 Lexus RX350.
best trunk rack around
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have had a few trunk racks over the last 20 years and this far and away is the best. It's fast and easy to adjust, very secure, comes with locks to lock the bikes AND the rack to your car. I know that doesn't really seem possible but I think it makes it as difficult to take your stuff off here as any roof rack and your not going to smash your bikes on your garage. Super easy to install and remove in a matter of seconds.

Rafael Nadal was spotted on the green in Mallorca getting an early jump on his Easter weekend holiday accompanied by two unknown, yet super cute, friends (can anyone ID them?).
I'm not a huge fan of golf and less a fan of golf clothing but Rafa somehow makes these fashions look damn good, especially the khakis. Actually, it's probably no mystery how he does it.

Exactly, Rich. And thanks for this Rafapost, as always.
Oh lordy LORDY, that ASS!! He looks so fine!! I've never seen him in khakis before but if this is the result, more please! Tasty :D
I normally don't like golf at all, but with Rafa I ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. IT. And those khaki trousers. THOSE KHAKI TROUSERS!!! I mean, Rafa's LEGS and ARSE in those khaki trousers, is what I mean.ReplyDelete
Yeah, guy in cart is def. Tomeu. I'm sure I recognise the other guy. Maybe I know him!? Maybe I have a close friend that hangs out with Rafa on the golf course, without me knowing about it!!!
Eh, perhaps not likely...

Guy in cart - Bartholome Salva-Vidal aka Tomeu, lowly ranked singles player, sometimes plays doubles with Rafa (they even won Chennai once), but more importantly, they are elementary-school buddies, grew up together in Mallorca.ReplyDelete
Dunno bout the other guy, probably from the same gang of friends. They all hang out on the beaches and go clubbing whenever Rafa is home. The only semi-famous one is Tomeu. As Rafa wrote in his blog, one is a painter, but not for paintings, he paints houses!

Yes, the basement-dungeon club is his neighbourhood unglamorous watering hole called Bauxa.ReplyDelete
Go to bauxa.net and click to IMATGES (gallery) - the patrons traditionally mug for the camera and the club posts their photos weekly. Rafa & his gang are fixtures over there (Rafa less so, being on the road so much, but whenever home, he's bound to surface there). Especially hillarious are theme-nights, New Year and carneval (Rafa came as Jack Sparrow in February).
Guys like tequila, drank it once from a footie cup they won locally.
Rafa is THE most unselfconscious celeb there is.
Hey CC,ReplyDelete
You stalk, I mean KNOW, more than me! Gotta give credit where credit is due.
he makes everything look fun... :)ReplyDelete

Oh Rafa, thank you for bending over a lot.

Tomeu Salva and Rafa won the Junior Davis Cup/World championship for Spain way back but Tomeu took a long time to mature physically and never made it higher than the ATP 300s). He is Rafa's best friend (since the age of 7) and until this year he was playing challengers and always travelled with Rafa to the majors as hitting partner. But he is now a tennis coach in Manacor and last year was reported as having been seen helping Ana Ivanovic out with her training when she was on Mallorca by hitting with her.

Young Racers' Club August 2010 - Jimmy DenisWritten on May 7, 2010 This month's lucky YRC contest winner is Jimmy Denis from Riverhead, NY
Jimmy Denis, Riverhead, NY
Lookout Circle Track readers! Here comes this month's Young Racers' Club winner, Jimmy Denis. We get a lot of YRC entries from all over the United States and even some from Canada. Often times, our younger racers will give us some info on activities and charities that they are involved in outside of the racetrack. But Jimmy Denis has blended the two together nicely. You can find him behind the wheel of the No. 92 Grand Enduro at Riverhead Raceway in Riverhead, New York. "I started racing when I turned 16, but I had no driving experience prior to racing," says the now 18-year-old. "In my first five races I had three Top 10s and a Top 5." Those are some pretty impressive stats, but it gets even better. "My second season of racing was my first full season where I beat out the guy who helped form this division at my track, for my first career victory." (Check out the pic!) In addition to nabbing his first win last year, Jimmy also grew out his hair and then donated it to the "Locks of Love" foundation, a charity that makes wigs for children who have lost their hair from chemotherapy treatments. Jimmy says that he plans on driving another full season at Riverhead, his quarter-mile home track, this year and will race for "Passionately Pink for the Cure" which is a program to help find a cure for breast cancer. Well, Jimmy, to help you with your preparations our good friends at Day Motorsports have a $250 gift certificate headed your way! Congrats!

From bikes to tires to hydration systems, the right gear is essential to finishing the seven-day stage race. Here's what worked for one rider. --Louis Mazzante
A few weeks prior to the race, I noticed the seals of this 100mm-travel Fox F29 model had been compromised and oil was seeping into the air chamber, limiting travel. After a quick overhaul by the manufacturer, the fork once again felt soft and supple. It smoothly tracked over rain-slick roots, absorbed high-speed hits and, thanks to adjustable compression damping and a lock out, provided a solid platform for spinning up climbs and sprinting across logging roads. The F29 uses 32mm stanchions, which were adequately stiff for most trails, but on several of the course's longer descents—like the high-speed drop off Forbidden Plateau on Day 1, I wished for the more robust 34mm tubes Fox now uses on its 140mm 29er forks.

Geospatial Line of Business Presidential Initiative
The Geospatial LoB will identify opportunities for optimizing and consolidating Federal geospatial-related investments to reduce the cost of government and improve services to citizens. Cross-agency coordination of geospatial activities is still lacking and is needed to help identify, consolidate, and/or eliminate redundant investments. The establishment of the Geospatial LoB will result in a more coordinated approach to producing, maintaining, and using geospatial data, and will ensure sustainable participation from Federal partners to establish a collaborative model for geospatial-related activities and investments.

text: Andrew M. Brown, in today's Telegraph 'notebook' comments on LibDem MP Jo Swinson's claims that children's TV lacks strong female characters – that they are all too 'pink and princessy', pointing out that books are a much better source of strong female role models than TV. I do not know whether Ms. Swinson ever wore pink in her youth, but if she did clearly it did not stop her political career. It is a fact of life that little girls adore 'bling' – the pinker and princessier the better; no one forces it upon them in a cunning ploy to avert thwart their ambitions, although perhaps the fault is that of parents wanting a 'perfect' little daughter. Deplorable as this might be, there are much worse things to worry about, such as the corruption of little girls, by – well – adult TV. Better that they watch parades of pink… Read more

Will defense hold the key Friday night when Steubenville Catholic Central and Magnolia put their multi-faceted offenses on display at Alumni Field?
The Crusaders (6-3), still a likely qualifier for the postseason in Ohio despite last week's 21-20 loss to Madonna, feature one of the area's premier quarterbacks in junior Brenton Colabella and a solid running game led by Doug Maslowski.
Coach Mark Batton's Blue Eagles (7-1), eager to nail down home-field advantage in the early rounds of the West Virginia playoffs and still with a shot at an OVAC 3A Division title, have a game-breaking receiver in Stephen Rogalski along with two standout rushing threats in Drew Keller and Kage Rohde.
With both offenses capable of putting a lot of points on the board in a hurry, it is likely the team that plays the best on the defensive side of the football will emerge as the winner.
''We saw Colabella last year and I was really impressed with him," Magnolia Coach Mark Batton said.''You can tell that he put the time in during the offseason to get better. ''You have to get there with two or three people if you want to tackle Maslowski. He's an exceptional athlete."
Last week, Colabella joined the Bellaire rifle Spencer Badia and Beallsville's Terryn Jarrett as the only three Ohio Valley quarterbacks surpassing the 2,000-yard mark so far this season. The three-year Catholic Central starter completed 12 of 23 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown, elevating his passing totals to 129 of 214 for 2,078 yards, 25 TDs and only five picks.
Zach Herrington has been Colabella's main target, having accounted for 37 receptions, 683 yards and 15 scores.
The hard-running Maslowski has crossed the goal line 15 times for the Crusaders while gaining 786 yards on 102 attempts.
Steubenville Catholic coach Steve Daley faces just as many concerns preparing his team to try and slow down the Blue Eagles' ability to run and throw the ball.
'Both their backs run hard and you have to be aware of where Rogalski is on the field at all times,'' Daley said. ''Our offense also has to be ready for what they do defensively. Magnolia sends pressure on every play and they get there quickly.
''Madonna was successful in bringing that kind of pressure and we have to work protection-wise to make sure we give Brenton the opportunity to play his game.''
The Blue Eagles' offense got a huge boost last week when Rohde exploded for five touchdowns in the 46-6 romp against Barnesville. Rohde found the end zone four times on runs of 27, 14, 17 and 1-yard along with his 9-yard scoring reception on a pass thrown by quarterback Tanner Hanna. Rohde carried the ball nines against the Shamrocks but finished with 109 yards.
Keller has been Magnolia's leading ball-toter throughout the season, turning his150 carries into 771 yards and six touchdowns.
Rogalski's 39 receptions have resulted in 625 yards and five scores but you can add on another six touchdowns on runs from scrimmage and defense.
Hanna's passing continues to be a big factor in the Blue Eagles' success. Showing steady improvement throughout the year, Hanna has 69 completions in 130 attempts for 921 yards and eight six-pointers.
Batton is hoping for another fast start, similar to what he saw last week against Barnesville when Magnolia's defense forced a three-and-out, followed by Rohde's 49-yard run the first time he touched the ball.
''I was concerned coming off the bye week, Batton pointed out. ''But the defense did its job and Rohde's five touchdowns really helped."
Should Magnolia defeat the Crusaders, ''Big Blue" could also capture the OVAC title depending on the outcome of the Bellaire-Martins Ferry game that same evening.
Disappointed is the best way to describe Daley's feelings after the Crusaders failed to score in the second half after building a 20-7 lead.
''All three losses came down to maybe one first down here or one stop. Saturday night was the same thing," Daley said. ''I felt we could have done a few things differently. Maybe I got a little cautious. (Ross) Comis did a nice job of leading them on those two long drives in the fourth quarter."

Portland, OR (Sports Network) - Manu Ginobili made the go-ahead free throws
with 12.9 seconds remaining, as the San Antonio Spurs solved their problems at
the Rose Garden by pulling out a 112-109 win over the Portland Trail Blazers.
San Antonio trailed by as many as 14 in the third quarter before Gary Neal,
playing crunch time minutes with Tony Parker out with the flu, sparked the
comeback with 15 fourth-quarter points.
Neal finished with a career-high 27 points, Ginobili had 17 and Tim Duncan
chipped in 22 points and nine boards for the Spurs, who snapped a seven-game
slide in Portland dating back to the 2007-08 campaign.
Nicolas Batum matched his career high with 33 points, and LaMarcus Aldridge
netted 29, but both missed from long range in the closing seconds in
Portland's third straight loss.

Two teens charged with burglary
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 4:58 p.m.
Two teens who tried to go on a burglary spree Thursday didn't get far after an alarm went off at one home and a resident shooed them away from another.
The two were caught by Marion County Sheriff's Office deputies in the area of the burglaries in Marion Oaks.
Jaishun Paramore, 18, and a 17-year-old, who is not being identified because he is a minor, are accused of breaking into a home in the 3000 block of Southwest 130th Lane, where they reportedly took jewelry. Soon after, they are accused of trying to break into a home in the 13300 block of Southwest 33rd Court, where an alarm went off, causing the pair to run off, reports state.
The duo then went to a home in the 3700 block of Southwest 133rd Loop and rang the doorbell several times. A man inside said he saw one teen in his backyard and then heard someone trying to open his bedroom window from the outside. He grabbed a kitchen knife and pulled the blinds and saw the second teen.
The pair ran away and the man called 911. Officers were already in the area responding to the earlier alarm and caught both young men.
The younger teen admitted to the three incidents. Paramore did not talk to officers, according to reports.
Paramore was booked into the Marion County Jail on three counts of burglary and one count of grand theft. He was released Friday after posting an $8,000 bond. The 17-year-old was charged with at least one count of burglary and was being held at Marion County Juvenile Detention.

We have a site with around 20 users. When the users with older versions of Internet Explorer or Firefox open the compose popup in Zimbra, it all works fine. However, the machines which have updated to IE v6.00.xx occassionally get a silver background screen on the popup, and nothing more.
I have temporarily fixed this by telling Zimbra to not open a new window, but to do the compose in the current window. However, having a separate window to compose in is a Good Thing, so I'm getting a lot of flack.
any ideas? Anyone else having this problem? I will be going onsite Friday to do some additional troubleshooting.

PCC in the News
News: Softball Keeps Home Victory Streak Alive At 6 Games
The Pasadena City College softball team continued its run of success at Robinson Park Thursday with a 12-2, South Coast Conference victory over El Camino College-Compton Center. The Lancers are 6-0 in home games this season, outscoring opponents by a 43-6 count.
The Lancers, 7-6 overall, have now won by the 8-run mercy rule five times this year, four of those at their off-campus home diamond off of Fair Oaks Avenue. PCC iimproved to 1-1 in conference play while the Tartars are 1-4 and 0-2.
PCC scored two runs in the first inning, six more in the second, and four in the fourth.
Shortstop Katelynn Thordarson batted 3-for-3 with a triple and three runs scored to lead a 10-hit Lancers attack. Catcher Allison Lacey was 2-for-3 with two RBI while first baseman Natalie Ficocelli hit 1-for-2 with two RBI. Designated player Melissa Izumida drew three of the team's eight walks against Compton pitchers, including twice on bases-loaded situations for two more RBI.
Winning pitcher Cierra Newton ran her record to 4-4 by throwing the complete-game, five innings, scattering eight hits and allowing just one earned run. She received stellar defense as centerfielder Jazmin Hernandez robbed Compton's Elizabeth Morales of a possible home run as Hernandez ran full force and caught her drive over the shoulder, bowling over the auxilary fence in straight-away center field.
PCC will play a make-up game on Monday, Feb. 18 as it hosts Chaffey College at 12 noon. The game was originally supposed to be played at Chaffey, but was rained out on Feb. 8.

"Beyond Corporate Raiding: A Discussion of Advanced Fraud Schemes in the Russian Market"
November 9, 2010
2:00 p.m.
1539 Longworth House Office Building
The death of Sergei Magnitsky and the fraud against Hermitage shocked the world, but was this conspiracy an isolated incident? How many others are in danger of suffering similar fates? Do these practices continue? Is there hope for change? Constant reports of corruption on the rise in Russia stand out in sharp relief against the strident anti-corruption rhetoric of President Dmitriy Medvedev who has called for an end to "legal nihilism" and the practice of authorities "nightmaring" businesses.
Join the U.S. Helsinki Commission for what promises to be a fascinating and provocative discussion with Russia's leading anti-corruption crusader, shareholder activist, and top blogger Alexei Navalny, who Time magazine dubbed "Russia's Erin Brockovich." Navalny will address these and other questions about making an honest buck in the wild east.

"I've been running the competition for about nine years and I think it's a terrific activity for the middle school students, because it achieves the basic goal of improving their communication skills, particularly in front of a group," said William Cornforth, head of speech and drama at the high school. "At a young age that is a very good education accomplishment. They also get to meet kids from the other middle schools, and they get to interact with the Wheeling Park kids who are really their teachers, as well."
Triadelphia Middle School ruled the event, taking first-place honors in four of the five categories. Forensics coach Lara Parsons praised her students for their hard work.
"... Some would even come in early before school to get pointers and practice. They're a really good group of kids," she said.

Video: More Of Bruce Leshan's Complete Charlie Brotman Interview
Video: Part 1 of Bruce Leshan's Interview With Charlie Brotman
TAKOMA PARK, MD (WUSA) -- Charlie Brotman's announced so many inaugural parades, a friend once had to remind him when he started.
He's been in the parade stand opposite the President since 1949. Barack Obama's second .... will be Charlie Brotman's 16th.
The one-time voice of the Washington Senators has been telling people for years that his first inaugural parade was Eisenhower's. It turns out he actually started with Truman's.
"It was the first inaugural parade to be on tv, and they needed some students. I was one of the students. Wow!" Brotman says, sitting in the Takoma Park basement he's loaded with photos, presidential seals, and the old benches from Griffith Stadium.
He says he really got started after he announced Eisenhower throwing out the first ball of the Senators' 1956 season. "Hi, this is the White House," someone told him on the phone.
He says he's never taken a dime from the inaugural committees of 11 different Presidents.
Brotman says the parades are often a reflection of the personalities of the President. "Eisenhower, military man, blah. Very conservative. Kennedy, gregarious, outgoing. He has a great, outgoing parade."
Then there was Jimmy Carter. "Carter, is not really an exciting guy. Nor was his parade."
Brotman says Reagan had both the best and worst parades. "Reagan moved Hollywood to Washington. And of his buddies and co-stars, and all his television. He brought everybody who was anybody to his parade.... His second was the worst, because there was no parade.
The temperature when organizers cancelled the parade on Jan. 21, 1985 was minus four degrees. "The musicians lips stuck to the trumpets."
America must have been tougher back in Kennedy's day "Plowing, shoveling, burning, whatever it takes. And that day, Pennsylvania Avenue was totally clear, and the whole rest of the city was snowed in. Correct, it does pay to be President."
Brotman has scripts and mementos going back decades. One of his most prized is the giant seal from under George W. Bush's reviewing stand. "When, it's over, the President leaves, and he left this behind."
And he says he'll keep announcing tell he's 115. "I started when I was three."
Brotman says from his stand, he can see much farther down the parade route than the President. The commander in chief ends up depending on Brotman to tell him when to stand and salute.
The former Washington Senators baseball announcer will turn 85 before his next parade.

The X Factor
What Are the X Factor Top 6 Singing on December 5, 2012?
We are always wondering why contestants on The X Factor sing one song when we would rather hear another, and it seems the powers that be heard our thoughts. The FOX show teamed up with mega-sponsor Pepsi (yeah, we see you guzzling that, Britney) to present a challenge to fans in picking out this week's songs for the Top 6. To fill the time and show off another side to each contestant, they will also be singing unplugged versions of popular songs.
So, what are they singing this week? Here's the complete list (Pepsi Challenge, unplugged, respectively):
Carly Rose Sonenclar — Beyonce's "If I Were a Boy" and Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me"
Diamond White — Rihanna's "Diamonds" and James Brown's "It's a Man's, Man's, Man's World"
CeCe Frey — Katy Perry's "Part of Me" and Lady Gaga's "Edge of Glory"
Tate Stevens — Garth Brooks's "If Tomorrow Never Comes"
Fifth Harmony — Demi Lovato's "Give Your Heart a Break" and Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain"
Emblem3 — Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" and Bruno Mars's "Just the Way You Are"
What do you think of these choices — will they allow all of the final six contestants to shine equally, or are some in a better position to break through than others? Weigh in below with your thoughts.

The idea that economics is all about the markets has been challenged by this year's award of the Nobel Prize in Economics. One half of the prize has gone to the political scientist Elinor Ostrom for showing that natural resources, like fish stocks or woodlands, can be commonly owned and still managed successfully. The other half of the prize has been awarded to the economist Oliver E. Williamson for demonstrating that the internal structures of firms and companies can be better at resolving conflicts than the open market. The award of the prize shows that economic theory can shed light not just on hard business transactions, but also on other forms of social organisation.

Plus was brought to you by light
This year's Nobel Prize in Physics has gone to three scientists for developing the technology that makes Plus possible. Charles K. Kao has received one half of the prize for developing the optical fibres that transmit information throughout the world. The other half of the prize is shared by Willard S. Boyle and George E. Smith for developing the digital camera's electronic eye, known as the CCD sensor.
Information is transmitted over the internet using light. A flashing laser beam is directed through optical fibres, with the flashes encoding the 0s and 1s that make up digital information. This process works because when the light beam hits the glass walls of the fibre, it bounces off and is moved forward. Optical fibres had been used even before the invention of the laser, for example by doctors to look into people's stomachs, but they were only capable of transmitting information over very short distances, as the light quickly leaked away when travelling through the fibre. When Charles Kao started working in the field in the 1960s, his aim was to improve the technology so that all of 1% of light would arrive at the end of a 1km long cable. Today, due to Kao's work and the generation of scientists he inspired, this number has increased to 95%! As a result, the network of optical glass fibres that spans the Earth today is over 1 billion km long. If you wrapped that length around the Earth, you would span it more than 25 000 times.
Light also plays an important role in the work of the other two prize recipients. Boyle and Smith were trying to develop larger memory capacity for computers, when they realised that Albert Einstein's photoelectric effect could be put to good use. According to this effect, electrons can be "knocked about" using light. Boyle and Smith realised that by knocking electrons out of light sensitive cells sitting in a silicone plate, they could transform an optical image into electric signals, which in turn could be turned into digital information. By 1975 Boyle and Smith had used their invention to construct a digital video camera which was good enough to manage TV broadcasts. In 1995, the first ever fully functioning digital camera was produced, and the rest is history. And although the CCD sensor has recently been challenged by another piece of technology, the complementary metal oxide semiconductor, bets are still on as to which of the two will rule the future.

Ice-free Arctic within 20 years
A leading polar researcher has warned that the Arctic may be ice-free during the summer in 20 years' time, with most of the thinning of the ice taking place over the next 10 years. Professor Peter Wadhams of the Polar Ocean Physics Group at the University of Cambridge was speaking at a meeting which announced the results of the Catlin Arctic Survey, an expedition to the Arctic which took place earlier this year with the aim of measuring ice thickness. The polar explorers, led by Pen Hadow, found that ice floes were on average only 1.8m thick. Once the ridges between ice floes are included, the average thickness rises to 4.8m, but the results are still worrying.
"The Catlin Arctic Survey data supports the new consensus view - based on seasonal variation of ice extent and thickness, changes in temperatures, winds and especially ice composition - that the Arctic will be ice-free in summer within about 20 years, and that much of the decrease will be happening within 10 years," Wadhams told the BBC. The exact impact of an ice-free Arctic on the global climate system is unknown, but scientists know that the lack of ice may accelerate global warming, as less sunlight is reflected back into space, slow down the gulf stream, which is responsible for the relatively mild climate in North-Western Europe, and dramatically change the marine eco-system.
Earlier this year Plus collaborated with Arctic Survey Education to produce a set of teaching resources exploring the science behind the survey. The resources look at climate and sea ice models, GPS and cartography, how to predict future climate trends, and how to present statistical evidence. To find out more about maths and the Arctic, read the Plus article Maths and climate change: The melting Arctic, which is based on an interview with Peter Wadhams. You can find out more about Wadhams's latest announcement on the BBC website.

Buses may be safer than babies, at least when it comes to swine flu. Preliminary results from an online flu survey suggest that contact with children poses one of the greatest swine flu risk factors, while the use of public transport seems surprisingly safe.
Plus will soon bring you a package of articles on the maths behind swine flu. But first we would like to know what you think has been the best source of information about swine flu? Did the media do well reporting on the virus? What about government information? Or did you go and see your GP to find out what to do about swine flu? Please let us know by voting in this quick poll, or tell us in more detail what information you found useful, or a nuisance, by leaving a comment on this blog.

Autumn is upon us, and as every year we're anxiously pondering what winter might have in store. According to the Met Office's tentative forecast based on early indications, we're in for a milder winter than last year, with rainfall at or above average. A more definitive forecast is due out in November, but it wouldn't be surprising if the people at the Met Office were a tad nervous about putting their necks out once again. Their April forecast, stating that the UK was "odds-on for a barbecue summer", sent British tempers flaring when July turned out to be one of the wettest on record. In response to the miserable weather, and mounting criticism, the Met Office revealed in August that its earlier optimism had been based on a 65% probability of a hot dry summer, and insisted that it had explained at the time that this forecast did "not rule out the chances of seeing some heavy downpours at times". Too right, you might say, since the overall rainfall for summer 2009 turned out to be 40% above the historical average.
To be fair, the Met's barbecue debacle was down to a failure to communicate its predictions clearly, rather than predictive incompetence.... Read more!

The language of symmetry in Islamic Art
The monthly Maths-Art seminars at the London Knowledge Lab, that explore the connections between mathematics and art, arose out of the Bridges Conference held in London in 2006. In the next seminar, Richard Henry, an artist and teacher with a specialism in Islamic geometric tiling, will talk about practical geometry and the language of symmetry in Islamic art.
"My work draws considerable inspiration from Islamic art, its history, craft techniques and geometrical ideas," says Henry. "I have a deep interest in the mystical philosophy that underlies the art and how this influences the design of Islamic buildings, with their special sense of sublime tranquility that is often experienced. In explaining these I will present images from an extensive field study that I carried out in Iran. I will also discuss the occurrence of non-periodic tilings in medieval Iranian designs, and how these are related to the modern mathematical theory of Penrose tilings."
The methods Henry uses to create his beautiful images are based on some of the earliest geometric methods used in mathematics: "I am particularly interested in practical geometrical methods, using compass and straight edge, for pattern construction for artists and craftspeople, and have explored these in my own works in painting, print and tile-mosaic. In this talk I will illustrate some of these methods for setting out patterns."
The seminar is on Tuesday 13 October 2009, from 6-7.30pm, at the London Knowledge Lab, 23-29 Emerald St, London, WC1N 3QS (travel information & maps). Everyone is welcome and no reservation required, but an email to firstname.lastname@example.com would be appreciated for planning purposes.
You can read more about geometry and art on Plus, including the articles on Roger Penrose and Penrose tilings.
