City commission candidates provide views on police headquarters project
I sincerely hope that all candidates keep in mind that at the heart of this issue is the fact that the men and women in blue do not have the resources they should have to serve this city. The facilities are in bad shape. Showers are broken. They spend a huge chunk of their day driving back and forth between buildings in order to do their job. They work tirelessly away from their families to keep our city safe. We owe it to them to give them the tools they need to keep Lawrence functioning as the amazing city it is.
There are many big picture projects that would be wonderful to take on, but it's important to see where the need is NOW. Our police officers need a solution NOW.

And the IPO fell flat
That's a valid point. Although, it seems that the counterfeit and spammy ads have lessened recently to be replaced by well-known and higher level companies. Perhaps, this was a change in lieu of the upcoming IPO?

And the IPO fell flat
I think you perfectly illustrate the mindset of many potential investors. Without tangible assets and mere days after a very public bashing of one of their revenue sources (GM removing ads), it just seems like this may have been a bit premature. There are a lot of things that Facebook has done right, but I think they still have some wrinkles to iron out before they can appeal to this type of market.

We went here last night for the first time and are now big fans. The complimentary queso with the chips and salsa was delicious as were the 2 for $5 margaritas on special. All four of us loved our meals and had great service from the staff. Even though we were sad to see Backyard Burger close in this location, we're thrilled that El Potro is here. Great place.

Tonight was the first time I'd ever been to Nail Citi and I was blown away at the awesome service and kindness of the family who runs the shop. I was in and out with a beautiful pedicure in under 45 minutes and greatly enjoyed chatting with the nail technician while there. So, not only do they have the best prices in Lawrence, but they also have wonderful customer service. I will definitely be going back.

Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran Wants Help from Social Media
Good example and good point.
Hopefully, a strong social media team is put into place before political figures launch a campaign, page or other social media account.
As we've seen from Brownback's page, political affiliations can foster some incredibly negative reactions. Certain social media platforms give opponents a stage to say what they want and put it front and center to all viewers.

Everything You Need To Know About Virtual Servers For Your Business

Naomi Webb
As opposed to dedicated servers, where you have exclusive access to resources, a virtual private server (VPS) shares hardware and software resources with other websites or operating systems. You might think that this is a bad thing, but virtual servers can afford a number of benefits. First and foremost, your website will be the only one hosted in the allocated virtual environment, with independent resources such as CPU, RAM, disk space, etc. Therefore, other websites on the same physical system won't affect the performance of yours. Second of all, you get complete root access to your server...

Mom: Rawls Magpie Maddie
Black and White with heavy ticking is finished as a bird dog. Maddie is a loving family pet, no watch dog in her, unless she were to lick you to death :-) On game it's a different story. She will hunt just as hard as any other GSP and can handle any size bird as well as a hog. Her strongest trait is her unbelievable sense of smell. Per her trainer Mike Miller in Leonard, TX, "One of the best noses I've seen in the past 10 years". In addition to bird hunting, Maddie was professionally trained as a wounded animal tracking / recovery dog by Joe Leverage in Iola, TX. There are videos of her tracking on youtube and to date she has a 95% recovery rate. We also have her granddaughter. She is trained as a retriever for both land and water. Melanie also inherited her grandmothers unbelievable sense of smell and has made an excellent bird dog at only 18 months.
Dad: Reed's Redd Man
Solid liver in color, a natural water retriever, and excellent upland bird dog. Laid back in nature but has a very strong hunt drive.

Hands-on: Samsung Galaxy NX reviewPocket-lint
Of all the announcements made by Samsung during its Galaxy and ATIV London media event, the one that has stood out the most is the - some would say inevitable - decision to put an Android operating system on a compact system camera. Samsung has made the leap and the much-rumoured Samsung Galaxy NX is the end result.
Pocket-lint had a chance to play with the NX before its official announcement and we have to say, adding Android to what is a fully-featured interchangeable lens camera is an interesting move. Adding LTE 4G connectivity is a masterstroke.
But let's be straight about it, this is not a phone masquerading as a camera. Unlike the Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom, this is essentially the Galaxy Camera for amateur photographers who take their hobby seriously. One that is compatible with Samsung's existing range of NX lenses, including the 3D one. And in that it will turn many heads.
It is, in essence, an NX camera like many of its stablemates. Parallels could indeed be drawn with the NX20 released last year, and this could actually be seen as an update to that model in many respects. Therefore, it sports a 20.3-megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor, and a similar advanced hybrid autofocus system.
The body is also similar in style to the NX20's. Although the Galaxy NX is technically a compact system camera, measuring 136.5 x 101.2 x 25.7mm and weighing 495g with a standard battery means that to describe it as "compact" is pushing it. It's actually as large as a small DSLR and reassuringly hefty to boot. Admittedly, some of the weight in hand during our brief play will have been made up by the 18-55mm Samsung lens on the front, but we wouldn't expect this camera to be used for standard holiday snaps.
Inner specifications are impressive. Like the Samsung Galaxy S4, the Galaxy NX is powered by a 1.6GHz quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM. There is also 16GB of internal memory, with a microSD card slot allowing for expansion by up to a further 64GB.
The aforementioned compatibility with 4G data in regions that support it (3G in those that don't) is a brilliant move that will make you wonder how you ever got on without it. You will be able to instantly upload pictures to the cloud - most likely through Dropbox, as Samsung has a partnership - no matter where you are. And if you're in a Wi-Fi hotspot, all the better, as it won't come out of your network plan.
Wireless internet connectivity even comes in the form of dual-band Wi-Fi (a/b/g/n), so it should be super quick and stable too. And there's Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity and GPS in-built. An accelerometer means you can even play tilt-based games on the camera, such as Real Racing 3 or the like.
The smartphone-style features don't end there. The Galaxy NX comes with a massive 4.8-inch HD TFT LCD touchscreen on the rear (the same as the Galaxy Camera) and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Google Play is accessible for app downloads (imagine Instagram being connected to such a quality camera), and many of the software features found on other recent Samsung devices are present. Photo Suggest, which gives you hints on what to snap based on your location and other photographer's guidelines, Story Album, which sorts pictures automatically into galleries, and Smart Mode 2.0 are all to be found. The last gives you a plethora of filters and options to explore and shoot in, although it will drop the resolution (by about half) to process the effects.
And there is the Galaxy NX exclusive Camera Studio. This is a widget that allows you to store all the most important applications that relate to your camera. That way you can spark it up either in the default shooting mode, or into Camera Studio without having to navigate through the OS.
Physical features include a pop-up flash, electronic viewfinder, USB and HDMI sockets and a hefty 4,360mAh battery. Plus, the camera has an ISO range between 100 to 25,600. Video can be recorded in Full HD 1080p 24/25fps, 720p video can be shot at 50fps. And finally, the Galaxy NX will come with Adobe Lightroom included in the box.
We can't wait to have a play with the Galaxy NX for real, in the Pocket-lint test labs, but just from our initial impressions we think this could set a benchmark for other manufacturers to follow. Certainly on the connectivity and sharing front.
It does feel somewhat of a sequel to the Galaxy Camera, but with picture performance at the forefront. That is very exciting. Very exciting indeed.

Yahoo looking to take on Netflix and Amazon by commissioning own online TV series
Yahoo is ready to enter the TV streaming business in a bigger way than ever before. It is said to be looking to commission four 10-episode comedy TV series to stream online. And is willing to pay a fair penny for quality content.
Sources that have been "briefed on the company's plans" have told the Wall Street Journal that Yahoo is close to ordering the four series, offering budgets of between $700,000 and a few millions dollars per episode.
They will be made by writers and directors with TV experience.
Not only does Yahoo want to take on Netflix and Amazon in screening original content, but it is seen as a direct salvo in the web giant's battle with Google and YouTube.
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer is expected to announce the TV-calibre content to advertisers during its "NewFront" event on 28 April. We should find out more about the shows and their streaming locations then.

Second chance: Boost for Button as Vettel is penalised for overtaking manoeuvre
If Lewis Hamilton had his way he would have already been halfway back to his Monaco pad by the time Ferrari's Fernando Alonso had clinched victory in the German Grand Prix.
Forced to limp into the pits after an early puncture, Hamilton was urging his team to call it a day as early as the fourth lap having dropped to 22nd in the order.
Bullish: Lewis Hamilton believes he was well within his rights to overtake Sebastian Vettel to unlap himself
It fell flat: Hamilton's car sustained a puncture, taking him out of contention in the race
Sebastian Vettel would certainly have liked McLaren to have heeded the call after Hamilton passed the Red Bull driver to unlap himself on lap 35.
Vettel, trying to close in on Alonso in the lead while holding off Jenson Button in third, showed his displeasure by gesticulating three times in Hamilton's direction from the cockpit of his car.
Vettel's anger had not abated by the post-race press conference as he branded Hamilton 'a bit stupid' for dicing with the leaders despite being so far down the field.
Hamilton responded to the jibe by sarcastically declaring: 'It shows his maturity. I didn't want to get in the way of Jenson.
'That was the reason (I overtook him).'
With the spat developing, the stewards ensured Vettel's mood took a turn for the worse and Button's for the better.
Judging that the tussle with Hamilton had slowed him up, Vettel then found himself dropping to third behind Button thanks to a 2.4 second stop by McLaren which beat the previous record they set in Valencia.
The real winner: Fernando Alonso (centre) was in fine form at the German Grand Prix
The knock-on effect was that Vettel needed to pass Button on the penultimate lap to regain second place.
Using his DRS overtaking aid, Vettel went around the outside of Button at the hairpin and in doing so he was forced to put all four wheels beyond the kerb and off the track.
The stewards refused to accept Vettel's explanation - that he was trying to avoid a collision and there was less grip on the painted run-of area - and hit him with a 20-second penalty which demoted him to fifth and promoted Button to second.
'I drove into the pits and they were just putting on the replay,' said Button who had already complained about the move over his radio.
'You could see that he overtook me off the circuit.
'He thought it was working out for him at the time but obviously the stewards didn't think it was correct.
Controversy: Vettel incurred a penalty when he left the track to overtake McLaren's Jenson Button
'We know what the limits of the track are and we have got to make sure we don't push our luck.'
Button dismissed the idea that Hamilton taking on Vettel was a Chris Froome to Bradley Wiggins style example of teamwork.
'I don't think Lewis was helping me out,' Button said. 'I don't think Sebastian lost anything, he will obviously say he did.
'He (Hamilton) is allowed to do that.'
All good knockabout stuff and, having survived a pre-race steward's inquiry into their engine mapping system and the suspected aerodynamic advantage it produces, Red Bull's luck with the authorities was always likely to run out.
Button, of course, was delighted with the extra points after collecting just seven in the previous six races not to mention his first podium since the Chinese Grand Prix in April.
Class act: Alonso took the spoils in Hockenheim over Vettel
Indeed, the signs are good for both McLaren drivers that their updated car is now able to give Red Bull and Ferrari a run for their money.
'It's nice to be back on the podium,' said Button.
'In the last couple of races, I've been very happy with the car but the results haven't been there because the pace hasn't been there.
'This race gives me a lot of confidence.'
Even so, the only real winner at Hockenheim yesterday was Alonso.
His progress to the chequered flag, and a 34 point advantage over nearest challenger, Red Bull's Mark Webber, was about as serene as it can get behind the wheel of a Formula One car.
All a far cry from Ferrari's disastrous pre-season testing and early campaign form.
How they fared in Hockenheim
'We made a very good recovery when you think of where we started in the Jerez test where we were maybe two seconds off the pace,' Alonso said.
'We are very happy with the points we have achieved but it means nothing, there are still another ten races. We need to be consistent.'
If Alonso does that he will take some stopping. Hamilton rates the Spaniard as his most dangerous rival and, aware early on he would not be fighting with him at the front, perhaps it was understandable that he wanted to knock it on the head.
Hamilton stuck to his guns after the race about the wisdom of ploughing on given all was lost.
'I was a lap down and my car was damaged,' insisted Hamilton despite being able to set a fastest lap and having the pace to overtake Vettel.
'I don't understand any point in driving around in a broken car. My differential was badly damaged, so was my rear floor, so I was just driving for the sake of driving.'
With next weekend's race in Hungary the last before the summer break and what promise to be some interesting contract negotiations with McLaren, Hamilton will be hopeful of a more meaningful driving experience.

My piano improvisations range in style from classical to early 20th century, to more contemporary harmonic styles. In developing my improvisations I usually begin by creating a short intro section of music which captures my interest and I wish to develop further. This usually becomes the basis for the improvisation but I use different techniques such as variation, development, and structure to help create a satisfying improvisation. I rely on my knowledge and understanding of harmony, counterpoint, form, piano technique, inspiration, and most importantly, my inner ear to help develop my improvisations into musical works that attempt to approach the ideal of a finished composition.

Writing Zope Products
helloworld.py is a perfectly legal Zope product; we can install it in lib/python/Products, and Zope will not mind. Unfortunately, Zope also will fail to notice that helloworld.py is there at all, will not add it to the Add selection list and generally will ignore the work we did in writing our product. It's clear that we will need to beef up our skeletal product if we want it to interact with Zope. We will call this enhanced version the "smallhello" product.
For starters, we must change the structure of our product from a single standalone module file (helloworld.py) into a full-fledged Python package. A package is a directory (smallhello) within the Python search path (defined by the variable sys.path) containing one or more Python source files. In our case, the smallhello directory will contain two files: a smallhello.py file that is quite similar to helloworld.py (see Listing 2) and __init__.py (see Listing 3), which initializes and helps to register our object.
Listing 2. smallhello/smallhello.py
Listing 3. smallhello/__init__.py
The __init__.py file first imports smallhello.smallhello, defining the module's methods and attributes. But the crucial part of __init__.py, at least as far as Zope is concerned, is the initialize method. After Zope discovers and imports smallhello, it invokes smallhello.initialize, passing it a ProductContext object (called "context"). In other words, initializing an object results in that object registering itself with the server.
The initialize routine itself is pretty straightforward, although our version does some rudimentary error trapping (using try/except) to ensure that things work correctly. Our smallhello product only passes two arguments to context.registerClass: the finalhello.finalhello object that we want to add and then a tuple of constructors that should be invoked when we want to create a new instance of our product. Remember to include a trailing comma if you pass a single item to constructors; otherwise, Zope will fail to load the product.
The constructors parameter is just one of a number of named parameters that we can pass to context.registerClass to customize the way in which our object is registered with Zope. For example, we also can pass an icon parameter that tells Zope which graphic (a filename inside of our package directory) should be placed next to instances of our package within Zope.
Turning helloworld.py into smallhello.py (see Listing 2) requires some small changes. We start by adding a method that allows Zope to create new instances of our product. By convention, such management-related methods begin with manage_, so our method is called manage_smallhello. This is the same method that was named in the constructors tuple passed to context.registerClass.
The most significant change to our smallhello class is also one of the least obvious: we have made it a subclass of OFS.SimpleItem.SimpleItem, one of the Zope product base classes provided as part of the Zope package (in the OFS.SimpleItem package). Without inheriting from SimpleItem, many things—from cutting and pasting of objects to acquisition—would fail to work as we expect, if at all. There are several possible base classes from which your products can inherit; SimpleItem, as its name implies, is designed to be the simplest and most straightforward of the bunch.
While modifying smallhello.py, I decided to add two other methods that produce content. One of them, other_html, produces output that is similar to index_html—except, of course, index_html is displayed by default when no other method is specified, while other_html only is called when explicitly named in the URL.
I also added a foo_file method that demonstrates how to return the contents of an HTML (or DTML) file from disk. It can be annoying and frustrating to put all of your HTML inside a Python module file; this way, you can keep the DTML files inside of the package directory but modify them independently of the program itself. Note that we had to import the HTMLFile method from the Globals package in order for this to work.
I modified the __init__ function in smallhello.py to take three arguments: self, id and title. (Previously, it only accepted self and id.) The __init__ function is invoked each time a new instance of smallhello.py is created, which is done through a call to manage_smallhello. Inside of manage_smallhello, our call to self._setObject sets the object ID to a generic smallhello_id, with a title of smallhello_title. Because we hard code the ID in our example, and because IDs must be unique within a folder, this means that we only can have one instance of our smallhello product in a given folder. There isn't enough space here to describe how to read and write parameters, but a quick look at the examples mentioned in the Resources section should make it obvious how to do this.
After the call to self._setObject, manage_smallhello then redirects the user's browser to the main (index_html) method. We could display some output instead, redirecting the user's browser to another method in our object, but I took the easy way out and decided to send users to /index.html on our site.
After you have installed the smallhello product, you can stop Zope and restart it again. You should see "smallhello" near the bottom of the Add menu; selecting it will send you to the index.html page on your Zope site. Because we haven't made our product as user-friendly as it could be, you will have to enter the URL manually (index_html, other_html or foo_file) in your browser. But there isn't any reason why these pages cannot contain links to each other or why other pages on the site cannot link to them.
What do you know? We've created a Zope product!

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

-The Facts-
Author: Hylton Coxwell
Publishing Company: Liquid Metal Publishing
13 x 11, 132 pages
Vulva 101 is truly an amazing project that Coxwell put together in order to help women learn to be more comfortable with themselves by shedding light on how different we all truly look. It's no secret that a lot of women are very self conscious when it comes to their bodies; usually concerning stretch marks, excess fat, or saggy breasts. But the truth is, a lot of women have a difficult time with the way their lady parts look. This incredible book helps eliminate the shame some women might feel, and exposes the beauty and diversity among us all.
There are a total of seven chapters in this book, the fourth chapter being the longest and containing the most images. Before chapter one there's an acknowledgements section, and a forward written by sex educator Viktoria Kalenteris. She touches on how pleased she is with the concept of this book and how important this project is. The acknowledgements feature the names of the one hundred and one women who's openness made this project possible, and includes many others that contributed to this cause in other ways.
Now, while this book does feature an incredible amount of nude images (319 to be exact), it's tastefully and beautifully put together. These images are artful and were done for a cause. There are plenty of books available that will fulfill your sexual needs, the purpose of this one was designed to give confidence and validation to many who feel uncomfortable with the way their vulvae look.
The first chapter explains how and why the book came together, where the idea initially came from, and how he started the project. It's impressive the drive behind it, and how important it was for Coxwell to put this book together. The second chapter goes into the various names and ideas people have surrounding the vulvae, as well as how censored it is and the discomfort many people have surrounding even the word itself. The third chapter, titled Ouchy!, discusses the many ways vulvae can temporarily or permanently be changed either due to an accident, or purposefully. Accidents, hair removal, surgeries, and body modifications (tattoos and piercings) are mostly what's covered.
Chapter four is where the flood of images start. The models that were photographed were all between the ages of 18 and 65, and were all between 85 lbs and 320 lbs; talk about a diverse group of women! The first page in this chapter covers various points about the shoot and models themselves (including the age/weight information), leaving the pages of images to speak for themselves.
Each page is dedicated to one woman; three photos are used to show various angles of her vulvae, and the background of the pages are in black which really helps showcase the images themselves. Only women are shown in this book, and the images are close up. You can't tell the person's age or weight, and only sometimes can pick out their exact ethnicity. All photos were shot in natural light and are as close to the woman's true skin tone as possible.
The angles shown are different on each page, some simply laying down, some standing up, and some shown spread apart. The pubic hair is different with each image, and the women were encouraged to keep it the way they normally would. Apart from common differences (shape, size, etc.), there are many images where the woman has tattoos and/or piercings; truly showing off how we're all unique.
When the book is open, two different women are shown, still with three images on each page. The overall look and feel of the book isn't one you would put on the shelf, it's what a lot of people would call a 'coffee table book'. It's large and image focused. However, if you have young children it might be best to keep this book out of their reach. For a more mature female (older teen and up) it certainly could be used as an educational tool. No female should go through life feeling like something is wrong with the way their anatomy looks, even when they're still an adolescent. Books like this can really change the way girls view their bodies, long before they think something is wrong with theirs.
The fifth chapter in this book touches on bisexuality, primarily focused on the women who posed for this project. He came up with a little scale that looks at three different categories of attraction; physical, sexual, and relationship interest, and put together a chart showing the results. This didn't feel like it was directly related to the concept of the book, but could perhaps help someone who's struggling with their sexuality.
Chapter six is filled with comments from the women who posed. They discuss their experience, thoughts on the project, advice for others, and how they felt after seeing their photos. Some comments are short, while others are a little more detailed. Either way, it brings a smile to my face reading about what a positive experience this was for so many.
The final chapter is on a theory Coxwell had about the length of a woman's inner labia being similar to women's menstrual cycles synchronizing. He thought at first that the length depended on where the women were from, but how the theory quickly was eliminated as more women were photographed. He also discusses how various things can effect a woman's cycle and how cultural differences effect us.
-My thoughts-
I love the whole idea of this book! I think of all the concerns women have about their bodies, the vulvae are least discussed. The images in this book, though considered graphic, are well done and enlightening. I really think they found the perfect middle ground between medical illustrations and something pornographic. I think that's what I appreciate most about this book.
I felt like the text in the book could have covered things better. Some sections felt totally irrelevant, but some areas were really great. I wish they had stuck with how the project came together, a brief history, and the women's feelings before and after and left it at that. It's really a small thing considering what a fantastic project this is, but I easily lost interest in what was written in the chapters themselves.
The front cover of the book displays the title very boldly, but no nudity is shown.
The book has a dust jacket, but the cover of the book and jacket look exactly the same. The shiny surface of the book and pages easily pick up fingerprints. That was a little annoying, but not a huge deal.
Vulva 101 is available to purchase through Amazon.com
A special thank you to Liquid Metal Publishing for providing me this book free of charge in exchange for an unbiased review. This is in compliance with FTC guidelines.

You keep writing bad ass book reviews, and I'm going to need a locking bookshelf. lol
This is such a great concept, I'm going to check this out. I've never felt confident in the appearance of my Vulva so maybe this could help!
This is a great book review. I love the idea for this book and the tasteful way it looks at differences. They should have combined this with #pussypride.
Great review on this book and the pictures are awesome, now I don't feel so bad on how mines looks as well. You do have great book reviews I know who I am coming too after I read mine. I need help and have never written one. Thanks for sharing!
As one of the models featured in this book, I cannot begin to describe all the warm and fuzzy happy feelings I get every time I see another enthusiastic and positive review. Seeing how it's affected some of the other commenters positively just make the warm-and-fuzzies that much greater.
Hands down, one of the greatest experiences of my life thus far. ♥♥♥
Very nice review. It's quite an interesting book. My girlfriend's actually in it as well.
Oh man, I should get this. I taught myself how to identify the various parts of my genitals using dry textbook diagrams for the names and I watched "Ebony" porn to see if my coloration was right for a Black woman.

Topic: Seed and Plant Sources, Seeds and Seeding, Edible Plants, Poisonous Plants, Grasses or Grass-like, Trees
Title: Grasses for horses in Austin
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:Hello Mr. Smarty Plants We just bought 4.5 acres in Travis County off HWY 290. We have 3 horses we keep on it but there is very little grass in the pastures. What is the best type of grass to seed and what is the best time to seed? The soil is hard and rocky like all Central TX. Also we have quite a lot of sand burs in the yard is there anyway to get ride of them without using herbicides. Thanks for your time
Mr. Smarty Plants has answered nearly 8000 questions over time, but not 8000 different questions. Since pasturing horses is far from a unique concern, we are going to link you to some previous questions from Smarty team members who know more about the subject than we do:
Grasses for horses from Hockley, TX
Trees that horses should not be around
Native grasses for horses in Manor TX. Paragraph from this answer:
According to the EPA, Schizachyrium scoparium (Little bluestem), Sorghastrum nutans (Indiangrass), Paspalum plicatulum (Brownseed paspale), Muhlenbergia capillaris (Gulf muhly), Panicum virgatum (Switchgrass) and probably Andropogon gerardii (Big bluestem).
In that same answer, you were referred to our National Supplier Directory, where you can get a list of native seed suppliers, plant nurseries and consultants for youg general area. All have contact information so you can call ahead and determine availability.They should be able to give you very good information on planting times, suitable soils, etc.
Follow each of those plant links to our webpage on that plant, where you can get propagation information.
We also recommend you read our How-To Article, Recreating a Prairie, which is what you are doing, basically.

UN weather agency reports record greenhouse gas levels in 2011
The Associated Press
Published Tuesday, November 20, 2012 6:33AM EST
Last Updated Tuesday, November 20, 2012 11:22PM EST
GENEVA -- The main global warming pollutant reached a record high level in the air in 2011, the U.N. weather agency said Tuesday.
Concentrations of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere averaged 390 parts per million during the year. That is up 40 per cent from before the Industrial Age, when levels were about 280 parts per million, the World Meteorological Organization said.
Carbon dioxide, the chief greenhouse gas, stays in the atmosphere for 100 years. Some of it is natural, coming mainly from decomposing dead plants and animals, but scientists say the bulk of it is from the burning of fossil fuels.
There have been 350 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere since 1750 and it "will remain there for centuries, causing our planet to warm further and impacting on all aspects of life on earth," said WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud. "Future emissions will only compound the situation."
Between 1990 and 2011, carbon dioxide and other gas emissions caused a 30 per cent increase in the warming effect on the climate, the agency reported.
After carbon dioxide, methane has the biggest effect on climate. Atmospheric concentrations of methane also reached a new high of 1,813 parts per billion in 2011, up 159 per cent from pre-industrial levels of about 700 parts per billion. About 40 per cent comes from natural sources such as termites and wetlands, but the rest is due to cattle breeding, rice agriculture, fossil fuel burning, landfills and incineration, the agency said.

The Vice Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard will host a panel discussion scheduled for August 6, 1:00 p.m., 2100 2nd St., SW, room 2415, here, with 10 women who served in the Coast Guard during World War II.
Vice Adm. Vivien Crea, the service's first woman to achieve the rank of Vice Admiral, will lead a discussion among 10 veterans of the U.S. Coast Guard Women's Reserve, who are also known as SPARs. Joining the panel will be the Coast Guard's most junior enlisted woman and most junior commissioned woman serving in the National Capital Region. This gathering of history-making women provides a unique opportunity to hear first-hand the experiences of women in the U.S. Coast Guard.
SPARs filled shore-based military positions during World War II, thereby allowing men in the Coast Guard to serve at sea and overseas. SPARs were under military direction and subject to assignments according to needs of the service. More than 10,000 women volunteered to serve as SPARs between 1942 and 1946.
"The SPARs are an integral part of our collective heritage," said Crea. "It is not often enough that we have an opportunity to speak first hand with those who have had such an influence on our service and have paved the way for so many. They have been an inspiration to me and I am honored to host such a remarkable group of women."
Adm. Thad Allen, the commandant of the Coast Guard, will unveil Crea's official portrait following the panel discussion. The portrait will commemorate Crea's service as the Coast Guard's second in command as she prepares for her Change of Watch ceremony scheduled for August 6.

Home > Press > OLED vs LED Lighting
By Cathleen Thiele, Technology Analyst, IDTechEx
The latest devolopments in the OLED lighting space will be one of the major topics at the forthcoming Printed Electronics USA 2012 conference & exhibition (www.printedelectronicsusa.com). The event, being held on December 5-6 in the heart of silicon valley at Santa Clara, CA, USA, focuses on the commercialization of the technology, covering broadly organic, inorganic, thin film and flexible nanotechnologies.
LED Market
It has taken twenty years for LED lighting to reach 8% of the $80 billion global lighting market, appearing in everything from car headlights to home lighting to street lighting. However, compared to the previous years, the foremost rapid growth has slowed down and every possible niche market is fairly populated.
What is the impact on OLED lighting? Will those in OLED lighting achieve efficiencies, yields and lifetimes fast enough before LED becomes ingrained? Printing is already being applied to LED lighting for connectors and even printing LEDs themselves. Others are mounting LEDs on flexible substrates. But will the thermal problems restrict the applicability of LED lighting on flexible substrates, paving the way for OLED lighting there? Who is investing in OLED lighting manufacturing?
OLED Market
Just as it is the case with the LED market the majority of the OLED market is still driven by displays. Compared to that, the OLED lighting market is very much in its infancy, with rather expensive OLED luminares and lamps commercially available as samples or used in design installation, but no mass production is in place, yet. Nevertheless, OLED lighting attracted a lot of interest and investment in the last couple of years and virtually all lighting companies are involved in OLED research and development. If OLED lighting is to suceed in penetrating only a small portion of the global lighting market, revenues could be in the millions. In fact, IDTechEx forecasts a $200-300M annual opportunity for OLED lighting in the next 2-3 years.
What comes next?
The next big topic for OLED lighting R&D is the development of flexible panels resulting in first products by 2015. This is driven by and will benefit from the flexibility trend for OLED displays, which will drive the development of better and cheaper flexible barriers, a key bottleneck for the technology, in the next couple of years.
Key Challenges
Other key challenges ahead are investment for larger area device manufacturing to lower the panel cost, reduction of material costs (esp. for glass, edge barriers etc), improved yield, the availability of low cost, and differentiated product design and marketing from LED lighting.
Printed Electronics USA 2012
At the forthcoming Printed Electronics USA 2012 event the topic will be discussed in great detail by the following presenters:
Dr Srinivas Sista, Materials Scientist at GE Global Research will talk about OLEDs for Lighting Applications, with focus on improving the performance (Efficiency, Lifetime and Cost) of solution processed OLEDs through device design. GE Global Research is one of the world's most diversified industrial research labs, providing innovative technology for all of GE's businesses. GE Research has been the cornerstone of GE technology for more than 100 years, developing breakthrough innovations in areas such as medical imaging, energy generation technology, jet engines and lighting.
The applicability of Printed Electronics Technologies to OLED lighting will be discussed by Mr Takeo Arai of Konica Minolta, Japan; this includes Konica Minolta's activity in OLED lighting, their world's first all-phosphorescent OLED product, a technical approach to R2R process for OLED lighting, and high-barrier films for printed electronics or flexible OLED. Konica Minolta, a leading company in EP (Electrophotographic Printing) sector, now has industrial inkjet technology as well.
A market forecast for the OLED lighting sector compared to state-of-the-art LED lighting will be given by Dr Norman Bardsley, Consultant on Displays and Organic Electronics at Bardsley Consulting. He will compare large area OLED lighting agains large areas diffuse lighting as well as capital, material and performance of LED vs vacuum processed OLED lighting vs solution processed OLED lighting, and conclude with a LED and OLED lighting forecasts 2013-2023.
Mr Mike Lu, Director OLED Technology at Acuity Brands Lighting, will give an overview of OPLED Luminaire products and application designs.
Related topics discussed at Printed Electronics USA 2012 are Flexible & Bistable Displays, New Progess with Barrier Film, The Future of Transparent Conductors and more. For further information and registration see www.PrintedElectronicsUSA.com
Report on OLED vs LED
You can learn more by referring to the IDTechEx report on "OLED vs LED Lighting - Analysis, Players and Markets". This report outlines the technological trends in OLED and LED lightings. It also identifies key areas requiring innovation in order to improve performance and to drive down cost. Furthermore, this report critically assess the selling points of OLED vs LED lighting on the basis of different parameters including form factor, flexibility, efficiency, cost, emission temperature, etc. Next, the report examines the value proposition of OLED for different target markets, including various niche segments in the residential, commercial and industrial lighting spaces. Finally, this book paints detailed picture of the OLED and LED value chains, identifying players at every stage.
