TC TO JOHN FORSTER ; 3 May 1840; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18400503-TC-JF-01; CL 12: 131-132
Chelsea, 3 May, 1840—
My dear Sir,
By all means engage this cheapest of Reporters,1 and bind him down firmly to attend and work; six guineas surely will be worth laying out for his shadow of us, do what we like with it!
Fraser had spoken with another Reporter, who however made but a vague undertaking to give "substance of the lecture," "salient points" &c; I write now to Fraser that he shall revoke even that vague undertaking, that we will depend on this man of yours. I enclose a Ticket for him; there is no Prospectus here: but pray send him your own, and get another from Fraser. I leave it all with you.
Christie seemed to understand that he had given you entire command over his stock of Circulars and Library ware; and the fact, it seems, is that you remain like myself entirely extra muros [outside the walls], destitute even of one circular! I have written to Christie that he must communicate with you straightway. I believe he will shew face somewhere among us tomorrow or next day. He is busy with his Library Article for the Westr Review.2 When is the fire to be opened in the Chronicle, in the &c &c? When are we to begin advertising? When are we to—O Heaven, nobody came but Craik and I to Committee yesterday; we could not make a quorum, could only leave a card! Do you know if Fitzgerald actually has distributed those 2,000; or even if he is actually doing it? The beautifullest promises will avail nothing at all; Pusey's hard guineas will be as light fairy-money, and all our trouble to no purpose, unless they be actually distributed those 2,000 Prospectuses,—stuck, in real physical fact, into the fists of 2,000 individuals of the human species! I wish you would look after that too.
Fraser has had out the Miscellany Book almost a week now;—yet I doubt has still sent you no copy? A crack of the whip shall awaken him this day. If before Tuesday morning you do not see the Book lying visible on your table, fancy that there is something rotten in the State of Denmark,3 and pray do me the kindness to send a hint of it swiftly over hither!
I have ridden like a Hector, subduer of horses:4 yesterday morning I galloped round by Highgate and Hampstead before breakfast. It helps not; I seem sicker than ever! If the prayers of the wicked availed anything, I would solicit—Ah me!5
Yours in boundless haste /
T. Carlyle

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Four Wildcats were members of the All-Pac-12 first or second teams, as announced by the conference Wednesday. Shelby Pendley was awarded first-team all-conference and Brigette Del Ponte, Hallie Wilson and Lini Koria were named to the second team.
Pendley hit .346 and led Arizona with 18 home runs and 53 RBI with a slugging percentage of .730. Pendley is one of three freshman named to the 20-player first-team all-Pac-12.
Koria, who was named all-Pac-10 Honorable Mention each of her first three years, was named to all-conference second team after hitting 16 home runs and batting .328 on the season. Koria drove home 33 runs and slugged .723.
Del Ponte earns her third citation on the all-conference team, this year a second-team selection. The third baseman was a first-team selection as a sophomore in 2011 and a second-teamer as a freshman in 2010. The junior has hit 14 homers and 14 doubles while driving in 51 runs this season.
Wilson earned second-team honors in her freshman year after leading the team with a .355 batting average from UA's leadoff spot. Wilson hit 12 doubles and a pair of home runs while driving in 26 runs.
Jessica Spigner was named all-Pac-12 Honorable Mention in her first year with the conference. The senior transfer from Tennessee hit .257 with eight home runs and 33 RBI.
Pendley and Wilson were also named to the conference's all-freshman team. Chelsea Goodacre and Chelsea Suitos received honorable mention citations for first-year-players.

Vi har været godt tilfredse med at bo i Sabelli House. Meget hyggelig lejlighed. Dejlig restaurant/ vinbar lige ved siden af. Men vi var lidt bekymrede over at det tog lang tid fra vi havde booket den på nettet til vi kom i kontakt med udlejeren omkring udlevering af nøglen og hvornår vi ville ankomme. Det manglede badehåndklæder og vidskestykker, selvom vi havde fået at vide det ville i lejligheden. Vi fik dog håndklæder da vi spurgte efter dem. Vi kan godt anbefale lejligheden.
Sanne Palludan og Kasper Maden.
Vi boede i lejligheden i San Lorenzo kvarteret fra d. 11. april til d. 18. april. Vi havde et dejligt ophold der, og Bruno var meget hjælpsom med hvad vi bad ham om. Vi vil gerne bo der igen , når vi-forhåbentlig - skal gense Rom! Med venlig hilsen Bodil og Agner Boel.
The loft is situated in a lively part of Rome which is hip because of the University and students that live there and low on tourists.
Its close to termini rail station and has tram and buses close by.
Its a nice space with a small but compleet kitchen.
The bathroom is small and the shower is too small in size; when you're big you will not fit!
Another problem is thats it is noisy; noisy from other apartments and noisy because of the restaurant nextdoor who has a outside terras but where you also hear the kitchen rumor through te wall.
appt. was a little shabby, furniture not functional
friendly host, great Location
we loved the Sunna pattio
All in all a very nice apartment!
Metro/Bus lines 3 min. walk from apartment. Lots of Bars are situated near to the Apartment.
Ideal for a city trip in Rome!
Reception was very friendly, always available via phone if there were any questions concerning Rome or apartment.
Accommodation like on pictures! Terrace very big & beautiful!
Only negative thing: No elevator & water in shower is changing.
Organisation very good and friendly, rooms fine and clean. Shower very small and water temperature changing. Carpet in front of entrance door was smelling.
All in all very nice flat
The apartment in general was quite nice. 2 separate bedrooms with ok beds, kitchen equipped with all basics that you need for a short stay incl. coffee, tea etc., and a small bathroom with shower, WC and BD. However, we had problems with the water in the shower being cold every single day and thus always had to call the local agent, Andrea, to fix it. He was very helpful each time, came promptly and organised someone to fix it properly after our stay, but nonetheless this took quite a toll on our experience of the flat. Without this, it would have been a 5 star review. Andrea also recommended a great restaurant close by. Best aperitivo & pizza ever!
Very well situated flat in Roma with a very good connection with the tramway. But people have to know the restaurant under this appartment is quite noisy in the evening half of the week (including Sundays). It is necessary to come with good earplugs (with them you have not at all any trouble to sleep) and a night mask because curtains protect few from the day light in the morning. Internet wifi connection is difficult to get and is available only near the kitchen window.

OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton scored three runs in the second inning and rode the fast start to a 10-1 win against Bradley (20-21, 2-9 MVC) to take the second game of the weekend Missouri Valley Conference series at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha and secure the series win.
Falling for the 13th time in 15 games, the Braves have dropped below .500 for the first time this season, while Creighton (30-10, 8-3) maintains its spot atop the league standings.
Trever Adams hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the second inning to give the Bluejays a 1-0 lead. Three more hits and a sacrifice fly extended the lead to 3-0. The Braves got one run back in the top of the third catcher James Kottaras singled, advanced to second on an error by the Creighton rightfielder and third on a David Compitello sacrifice and scored on a Rob Elliott ground out.
With starting pitcher Jonas Dufek (7-1) and reliever Mark Winkelman keeping the Braves off the board the rest of the way, Creighton steadily stretched its lead by adding one run in the fifth and one in the sixth, before breaking the game open with a 5-run eighth inning.
Junior lefthander Tory Doerr (2-2) took the loss by allowing four runs on four hits in his 4.0 innings of work. Dufek scattered five Bradley hits and walked one, while striking out seven in his 8.0 innings.Bradley will try to salvage the final game of the weekend series and climb back to .500 when the teams meet in a 1 p.m. game Sunday at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha. Sophomore righthander John Nasshan (2-5) will make the start for the Braves.

The correct method isn't always an option. A group of my buddies are headed to Hayward, Wi. for their annual "Boys Weekend" tomorrow. One of the guys found trouble with his intake manifold on his '47 FL. Seems as though the threads on the nipples are a little weak. The builder should be spanked for letting that go. Anyway, the question is what type of smoowie can he use to seal them to get him by for the week end? The real fix of course is to replace the nipples. Time and availability doesn't make that an option if he is to make the run. He is leaning toward green loctite. Any other short term solutions?
Smoke 'em till the wheels fall off!

It's almost game day, and millions of fans are gearing up to root for the Seahawks or the Broncos (go Broncos!) But don't limit your sports love to a few hours on a Sunday night. Here are five reads with sports themes to keep the fandom going. The best part about them? Both YA and non-YA readers can enjoy!
1. The Art of Fielding- Chad Harbach
In The Art of Fielding, five people are affected at a college in Michigan when a throw goes off course. Harbach's characterization, setting and relationship development are unmatched in this moving tale.
2.The Legend of Bagger Vance- Scott Pressfield
Pressfield writes about Bagger Vance, a mysterious caddie who mentors troubled war veteran in the game of golf and the Authentic Swing.
In basketball, Jackson and his coach know the odds. The question is, will they throw the game for a bet, or will they play to win? Hoops was written decades ago, but the message is still prevalent today.
4. Catching Jordan- Miranda Kenneally
What's better than books about football? Books in which the QB of the football team is a girl. Kenneally paints a picture of a powerful teenager girl with the ability to fall in love. Although this story is definitely not like the others in this list, I couldn't help but including one with a strong female as a sports figure female lead.
5. Seabiscuit: An Underdog Story- Laura Hillenbrand
The underdog story is always a crowd please-er, but an underdog story about a horse with a crooked leg and sad tail? Even more heartwarming. Seabiscuit is definitely worth the read.
Stay warm and read on, fellow bookworms!

The keywords Facebook and Twitter in the short movie abstract caught my attention and made me pick "We Live In Public" as one film I wanted to see out of the great program at the IFF Boston last weekend.
The documentary is a portrait about Josh Harris, a visionary maniac so to say (cf. luvvy) and possibly
the greatest internet pioneer you've never heard of.
Having made millions of dollars in the dot.com bubble, he created and funded eccentric art projects like Quiet: We Live in Public, a colony with 100 people living under 24-hour surveillance in a bunker in New York City.
People want 15 min of fame, every day.
The master tapes filmed in the bunker must be a paradise for psychologists and sociologists and probably deserve a place in a university library. The bunker is a very brutal, exaggerated and compressed picture of the effects of sacrificing privacy and sharing your life with literally everybody. That part of the documentary raises the question for me why do we want to share our personal information on commercial platforms like Facebook or MySpace. What do we get in return? Targeted advertising and hundreds of connections to people you barely know, is that it?
I especially like the quote
Everything is free except the video we capture of you. That we own.
of Josh Harris. A principle of the bunker in 1999, but I guess it still can be easily applied to many Web 2.0 business models nowadays.
"We Live In Public" is a truly fascinating documentary and clearly one of my movie recommendations for 2009. Go watch it!

Ka'u coast could be home of new national park
HILO — The Ka'u coast and areas on other Hawaii islands would be candidates for an expanded National Park System under a bill announced Wednesday by U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz, a Democrat from Hawaii.
The bill, Schatz's first since his nomination to the Senate in December, would require the Secretary of the Interior to conduct special resource studies on the Ka'u coast at the southern tip of Hawaii Island, along with studies on the northern coast of Maui, the southeastern coast of Kauai and historic sites on Midway Atoll. The bill could also include the island of Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands if requested by the governor of the Northern Mariana Commonwealth.
The studies would help determine the areas' suitability for addition to the National Park System.
The Pacific Islands Parks Act of 2013 would require the studies to be complete within three years of funding being made available. Money could come from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, enacted 50 years ago to use revenue from extraction of offshore oil and gas to conserve other natural resources.
"This is a very exciting moment for Hawaii's economy and our natural resources," Schatz said in a telephone news conference Wednesday with Hawaii representatives of environmental and nonprofit land acquisition groups. "Visitors from all over the world travel to Hawaii to experience not only the natural beauty, but also the cultural and historical significance, of our national parks."
Schatz said Hawaii's seven national parks accounted for $259 million in tourism revenue in 2011.
Asked why the federal government would consider land acquisition during a tough economy, Schatz and others said the parks plan is very early in the process. The economy is expected to improve, and the bill sets the stage for acquisition when the time is right, they said.
"Even in tight budget times, we make important decisions about allocating our resources," said Suzanne Case, Hawaii state director for The Nature Conservancy.
The studies to be undertaken by the secretary of the interior, under the bill, would evaluate the national significance of the site, determine its suitability and feasibility as a unit of the National Park System, consider other alternatives to preserve the area and identify cost estimates.
Schatz said he's already met with key lawmakers to help ensure the bill gets a hearing.
Lee Hong, Hawaiian Islands state director for The Trust for Public Land, was also optimistic about the bill's chances.
"Hawaii, because of its unique natural and cultural resources, has always competed well," Hong said. "Even in tough economic times, Hawaii's unique cultural and natural resources … do compete well nationally."
Schatz invites suggestions on potential park sites as well as feedback on what the people of Hawaii and the Pacific want from their National Park System and other public lands.
Comments can be made by selecting the "new parks" from the topics drop-down menu at schatz.senate.gov/contact.cfm.

Federal and State Governments Share Welfare Costs
The OAA program established the precedent of splitting welfare expenditures between the federal and state governments, while allowing the states to retain a significant amount of authority and autonomy to set standards, eligibility, and payment levels as they desired. The states, in turn, continued to share welfare expenditures with local governments, which meant that at least two, and sometimes three or more, levels of government were involved in the provision of public assistance, a situation which continues to this day.
This division, and the conflicting goals of providing a service that the public considers valuable while guarding the purse of the taxpayers, created inter-governmental tensions and rewarded efforts to shift beneficiaries into programs where some other level of government would assume a greater share of the cost. At the same time, beneficiaries had their own incentives to use or avoid certain types of services, depending on what kind of help they would receive and how burdensome the requirements for receiving it were likely to be. The OAA program was about to demonstrate that "gamesmanship" could affect program costs and utilization.

... that's the name I've seen the most and that's what I'm calling him
Snowflake created by *go show her some love*

These shutters have a natural and warm appearance. As far as functionality, they are good insulators, have a high structural integrity, and are recyclable. They're also stylish and well-designed looking, and can be painted or stained to match any number of decors. Because the frames are self-squaring, it is fairly easy to install wooden shutters. Because specialty sizes are available, there's a good chance you can find the right shutters for your windows.
In areas and rooms that are highly humid or are around a lot of water, moisture might be a problem. Wooden shutters might not be the best choice in a steamy bathroom, as humidy and moisture can make the wood warp, crack or split.
As with all window treatments, costs can vary greatly depending on the manufacturer, size, type of wood, and if there is a finish on the shutters (and what kind). Sometimes they will be priced by the square foot or square inch.
One nice thing about wooden shutters is that they can last for decades!
The most appropriate locations for wooden shutters are kitchens, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, dens, and offices–basically all locations in your house where there is not a high level of moisture. There are many places and uses for interior shutters can will make a good impression.
Wooden shutters require a minimal amount of maintenance. To clean them, use a feather duster or soft cloth (like a microfiber cloth) to remove dust that accumulates between the louvers. Be sure to clean the shutters with the louvers tilted in all positions, as to thoroughly clean them. Washing is not recommended for wooden shutters. Vacuuming with a brush attachment is also a suitable method of cleaning the shutters.

Greek Restaurant Will Replace Joe's Superette
No more prosciutto balls, probably, but maybe some dope dolma?
Last year, Lucali owner Mark Iacano was stabbed and almost died outside Joe's Superette, a musty old Italian deli on Smith Street known for its cast of characters, cold cuts, and legendary prosciutto balls. The 50-year-old deli closed the following month. One year on, Iacano was back to making pizzas and the prosciutto balls were discovered basking on Prince Street, but the old Joe's space remained unoccupied — until now: Pardon Me For Asking reports a Greek restaurant with seats and takeout is in the works. The new restaurant will have outdoor seating and its owners are aiming for a mid-August. [Pardon Me For Asking]

Darwin writes,
is it credible that if God were now to make a revelation to the Hindoos, would he permit it to be connected with the belief in Vishnu, Siva, &c, as Christianity is connected with the Old Testament. This appeared to me utterly incredible.

Those who have issues with high cholesterol are often advised to seriously limit the amount of beef they eat – sometimes to lower the amount to as little as two servings a month. What is a generation that's been raised on burgers and fries to do?
One possibility is to trade beef burgers for turkey burgers. The September 15, 2014 issue of for women First shares a recipe for Hawaiian turkey burgers with pineapple salsa which is both delicious and could keep you from missing those beef burgers as much.
Since the recipe calls for fresh diced pineapple, the magazine also provided this tip for carving a pineapple:
- Use a knife to cut off its top and bottom, and to peel (this minimizes the mess)
- Quarter the fruit lengthwise
- Place quarters cut side up on work surface
- Using your hand to anchor, guide the knife down the length of the fruit, just below the hard core, to remove
- Repeat for each quarter
- Dice the pineapple
Now, for the recipe.
- 2 cups diced fresh pineapple
- ¼ cup minced red onion
- 1 jalepeño pepper
- 2 Tablespoons fresh mint
- 1½ pounds ground turkey
- 5 Tablespoons pub burger seasoning (like McCormick Grill Master)
- 6 hamburger buns
- In bowl, toss first 3 ingredients. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until needed.
- Heat grill.
- In processor, pulse mushrooms until minced.
- In large bowl, mix minced mushrooms, ground turkey and seasoning; shape into 6 patties.
- Grill 8 minutes or until done, turning once.
- Serve burgers on hamburger buns, topped with salsa.

Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells
ISBN13:by Yildirim, Sibel
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the 1st edition with a publication date of 12/1/2011.
What is included with this book?
- The New copy of this book will include any supplemental materials advertised. Please check the title of the book to determine if it should include any CDs, lab manuals, study guides, etc.
Induced Pluripotent Stem (iPS) cells are mature cells that have been genetically reprogrammed so that they return to their embryonic state. It is not yet known if iPS stem cells and embryonic stem cells differ significantly. Today many fundamental belief systems in biology are shifting towards accepting that mature body cells can be reverted to an embryonic state without the help of eggs or embryos. With their changed identities, iPS cells are then ready to serve as new tools for research in the fields of disease pathogenesis, drug discovery, oncology, and cell transplantation. One example of this would be using iPS from a patient's mature cells to repair damaged tissue; it is thought that there would be very low incidence of rejection of the 'new' tissue in these cases. For the last four years, this therapeutic promise has been studied by hundreds of researchers worldwide in an effort to understand the ability of these cells to reverse their biological clocks.

With three former players named to the National Football League's 2012 All-Pro team, Oregon tied with Cal and Texas for the second-most of any school in the country behind Georgia, which had five.
Max Unger (2005-08) of the Seattle Seahawks was named the first-team center, while Buffalo Bills' safety Jairus Byrd (2006-08) and former All-America defensive tackle Haloti Ngata (2002-05) of the Baltimore Ravens made the second team.
Ngata's Ravens, who also feature one-time Oregon tight end Ed Dickson and quarterback Dennis Dixon (practice squad), play at New England in the AFC championship game Sunday at 3:30 p.m. PT on CBS.

On April 3, Queensrÿche starring Geoff Tate performed to an eager crowd of fans at the House of Blues, Sunset Strip. The band included Robert Sarzo and Kelly Gray on guitar, Randy Gane on keyboards, John Moyer on bass (filling in for Rudy Sarzo) and Brian Tichy on drums (filling in for Simon Wright) and additionally Sass Jordan on vocals.
Geoff Tate, the unmistakable voice behind such songs as "Silent Lucidity" and "Eyes of a Stranger" is considered one of the best voices in heavy metal and often cited as the inspiration for many singers to follow. Without delving into the much publicized frenzy which resulted in the division of band personnel, Geoff Tate has put together a new lineup of stellar musicians to rival any band.
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Operation: Mindcrime, the band performed the critically acclaimed album in its entirety. Tate continues to prove he's a more than capable vocalist diving into diverse and often challenging music. Akin to an opera singer, Tate's vocal range spans several octaves and on this night never showed any sign of slowing down.
Robert Sarzo and Kelly Gray on guitar gave exceptional performances both together and individually shining in their unique guitar styles. Brian Tichy (Whitesnake) gave a drum solo conjuring up the power of Bonham and the showmanship of Moon. Simultaneously playing and tossing drum sticks in the air, Tichy captivated with his coordination skills, all the while never missing a beat. Additionally, John Moyer (Disturbed) on bass and Randy Gane on keyboards extended the lineup giving excellent performances. And vocalist Sass Jordan added that extra spark of class and brilliant vocals.
I highly recommend this show even if you're not familiar with all of the songs in Operation: Mindcrime, you will be caught up in the moment and become an instant fan, like me. Queensrÿche continues their tour through the summer.

My daughter Anne was the first person to use Energy Profiling in a dating experience. Anne learned about her true nature when she was 18 years old.
Anne is a Type 2, subtle, connected, detailed, soft, and very heart-centered. The first step for Anne to be clear on who she wanted to marry was for Anne to live true to her nature.
Anne dated every Type and with each date became more and more clear on what she was naturally attracted to and what she wanted in a companion.
She decided Type 1's were not right for her, Type 2's were too much of the same thing, Type 4's were too structured and Type 3's were just right.
Anne wanted that fiery, adventurous nature that Type 3's have.
When Anne was 22 it was clear to her she wanted to find the man of her dreams. So she told the Universe to bring her the Type 3 man of her dreams.
I am a Type 3 and don't like too many details so I am going to get right to the point and tell you she met him and married him within 6 months of that declaration.
For the detailed version of Anne's Energy Profiling Love Story and to get some amazing dating tips to meet your dream boat listen to "The Living Your Truth with Carol Tuttle" radio show that was broadcast on July 13, 20009.
Energy Profiling is going to be the answer to a lot of people finding and meeting the right "type" of person and then riding off in to the sunset in to a relationship that is even more than they could ever hope for.
Don't know your dominant Energy Type yet, well you need to know who you are first to know what you want in your lover! Find out now!

Secrets of Success
the 'D' reservoir
Saturday, March 17, 2012
We decided to visit Tophill Low water pumping station.
It's an RSPB reserve with two large reservoirs set in wetlands between the west bank of the River Hull and Barmston Drain that are a haven for wildlife. It's a working station and provides water for the town of Kingston-upon-Hull whilst also being open to nature lovers.
The reservoirs are high sided concrete and very deep so can only be viewed from high hides and viewing platforms built around their sides. They are named 'O' and 'D' because of their shape. Each is surrounded by wetland areas, copses and woodland.
We decided to do the shorter three mile walk of the 'D' reservoir.
Climbing the steep open tread steps to the first hide, covered in wire mesh so the unwary don't slip, we caught glimpses of the water as we went up. There were flocks of mute swans, various ducks and lots of gulls. We watched for a while from the quiet peacefulness of the hide and I was pleased to see a smew, it's only the second time I've ever seen one, but he was too far away for a photograph so I had to be content to watch through my binoculars. He's a spectacular little fellow with white plumage covered in what looks like black graffiti. There were two ruddy ducks too with their gorgeous ginger plumage and bright blue beaks.
The next part of the walk is a meandering path, you stroll through a beautiful snowdrop covered wooded area where sunlight filters down through the canopy. There are small ponds set here in small open glades, which in summer attract dragonflies, butterflies and insects but this time of year there isn't a lot to see, just a waterhen scurrying into the foliage at the pond's edge. The different colours of which are interesting, the old brown spent reeds with new green shoots forcing their way up from the bottom and the cotton tufted reedmace heads blowing in the wind.
Following the beech mast strewn path through the woodland we saw the double slotted tracks of roe deer embedded deep in the once muddy ground but sadly not the animal itself.
A grey squirrel scampered up a tree and sat watching us from it's lofty vantage point knowing full well it was safe...he was nibbling delicately on a pine cone with his pretty tail arched over his back like a fluffy parasol.
We rounded the high wall at the top of the reservoir committing ourselves to the flat side of the 'D' shape. I'm not as keen on this bit as the other as it's a long straight concrete road which the wardens use for transport. It seems to go on forever but it is besides the Barmston Drain so you can occasionally see waterfowl and there are small birds in the hedges which run alongside. There are often roe deer in the field across the water but today wasn't our lucky day.
Entering a wooded area once more we came across a larch tree in flower with it's pretty bright pink female cones, we found them last year and had hoped they would be in flower again. The tiny yellowy brown appendages on the underside of the branch are the male cones which will eventually grow into the cones we all recognise. There were more bushy tailed grey squirrels leaping around from branch to branch and elusive bluetits sang out their appealing little shrill noted songs though we never did catch a glimpse of them.
Then we were back at the car park, removing our walking boots before sitting in the warmth with a cup of steaming hot chocolate.
All this walking must surely be good for me...lol...even if I really enjoy it and it doesn't feel like exercise!
Here are a couple of pictures:
pretty pink female larch cone flowers, the small yellowy brown appendage underneath is the male cone
delicate green weeping willows, there are usually lots of rabbits feeding under them but a new rabbit proof fence has been erected so they might have got 'rid' of them
The long straight concrete road I'm not too keen on walking, the deep set Barmston Drain is over the mesh fence on the right

Back in October on an otherwise ordinary Tuesday, room 137 suffered the theft of its infamous illustrated toilet seat hall pass. Recently, a diligent young man reported a sighting (which I appreciated) but didn't tackle the perpetrator (which I would have preferred).
Then, last week, Daniel, one of my former students who had heard of the disappointing loss, came into my room after school with a gift and a story. He and a friend had been driving and caught a glimpse of a detached hubcap on Front Street. Daniel had shouted, "Let's get it!" (Who wouldn't?) After procuring the filthy prize, they decided it would make a suitable replacement for my hall pass. And since it was already covered in grime, Daniel explained, it would deter students from choosing to leave my class, for they wouldn't want to touch it. "But if they absolutely need to, they can just pick it up with a Kleenex like this," Daniel said with a demonstration.
As a testament to poor timing, our school is moving toward a uniform hall pass system next month, with a nondescript, plastic pass for each room. My principal, who walked in toward the end of my conversation with Daniel, said that Daniel's idea of gluing the boring plastic pass to the hubcap wouldn't fly. So there's really only one thing left to do: assemble a decorating committee to doodle on and bejewel the hubcap, then hang it on the wall until I retire.
November was a month of heated exchanges at New York City PTA meetings. Cathie Black, who has never worked in or studied education, took the helm as the new school chancellor. I wrote at the time about the irony of teachers being pressured under NCLB to be deemed "highly qualified" while Black, who wears $47,000 bracelets, is tasked with slashing costs in her school districts.
I wished NYC the best as Black and her deputy (who, unlike Black, did not need a waiver to serve in his position, since he has been a teacher, principal, and school founder) presumably buckled down. I read an article where she challenged the public to give her a chance, which seemed fair enough. But then she opened her fat mouth and shoved her Manolo-Blahnik-heeled foot into it.
I should point out that I'm not someone who typically gets riled up over verbal gaffes, be they by students, colleagues, pundits, or politicians. The outrage and media coverage following slips of the tongue are usually more irritating than the slip itself (which is often funny and more than a little true). Further, people make jokes within their professions that would be misunderstood by those outside, even if they were taken in context.
But when you're in Cathie Black's position, starting out in the red on the ledger of public opinion, you don't assume you're part of the fraternity that can now make "insider" jokes, and you certainly don't arrogantly try out your humor at community meetings. Her joking response to the problem of overcrowding in classrooms was that birth control "would really help us." My jaw dropped when I read it, and not because it wasn't mildly amusing, but because it underscored her detachment in so many ways, not the least of which was implying that she was overwhelmed and had thought—however briefly—that her job would be easier if only there were fewer kids.
Again, as with many solecisms, her comment was true: education would be helped if we didn't have to spread our resources so thinly. But in this economy, I doubt that any teacher less than two months into her job would venture to make such a thinly-veiled complaint. Black needs to shut up and swallow this bitter little pill . . . and leave others' pills out of it.
November was also a month of heated exchanges in my school community when a stolen 9 mm gun was found in our building, a case still unsolved by local police. Partly as a result of three years of my nagging about the dangers of potential violence on our campus, we were two weeks away from a scheduled lockdown drill (complete with a half-hour, school-wide lesson plan) when the handgun turned up. Those of us who had worked on the drill watched in bemusement as our administration announced and reiterated countless times that "this drill has nothing to do with the gun found on our campus."
What could be so terrible about scheduling a lockdown drill in light of recent events? Isn't that, one of my colleagues wondered, what we call a "teachable moment"? We never received an explanation about why connecting the gun and the what-to-do-in-the-event-of-a-shooting lesson was such a bad thing, but it's not surprising in a school and a district that has turned a blind, naïve eye to reality for years.
Recently, one of my colleagues interrupted a brewing fight in the hall. A student removed his sweatshirt, and a knife fell out. Warning nearby kids and alerting two other teachers on their way over, my colleague yelled, "Knife!" The kid picked up the weapon and ran, with the three teachers chasing him through the halls (over a girl) and out the building. They didn't catch him, but they knew who he was, and those of us hearing the story that night were not surprised when we learned the name of the fugitive.
Three days later, the student strolled past me in the hallway. I learned that he had received only two days of suspension—not for the knife at school, but for running from the teachers. An administrator told me that the teacher wasn't certain he'd seen the knife, so there wasn't any solid proof of its existence. My BS meter pointed at red for two reasons: [1] when I heard the story from two of the teachers who pursued the kid, there was no expressed doubt about what had fallen on the floor; [2] if what had fallen was, as the kid later claimed, a skateboard tool, why would he run like hell?
My district touts a "zero tolerance" policy regarding weapons that's been in place since 1993. I can easily explain the policy, as their application of it mirrors my own zero tolerance policy toward mushrooms: I loathe them, but if I'm at someone's house and it's just too inconvenient or awkward to mention my distaste for mushroom casserole, I'll eat it. And that's what happens in our public schools time and time again. They're not fans of teenagers with weapons, but bad press about expulsions makes principals look bad, makes good athletes get transfers, and makes the front office frought with phone calls from worried parents. Therefore, they swallow the nasty truth and wash it down with a big gulp of denial.
So what is more terrifying: the knife or the placid response to it?

Creare has developed a number of advanced technologies to meet the needs of aircraft and portable gas separation applications including Onboard Oxygen Generating Systems (OBOGS) and Onboard Inert Gas (i.e., nitrogen) Generating Systems (OBIGGS) for military and commercial aircraft. On aircraft, nitrogen is used for fuel tank inerting, and oxygen for emergency breathing, aeromedical use, and special operations missions requiring oxygen prebreathing. Small, lightweight oxygen- and nitrogen-generating systems are also needed for mobile hospitals, home oxygen therapy (HOT), and remote equipment servicing uses. These applications often have unique constraints and requirements.
Our technological approaches span a broad spectrum and include cryogenic separation, molecular sieves, semipermeable membranes, ceramic membranes, and proton exchange membranes. Several of these technologies are described below.
Cryogenic Separation Systems
Creare's cryogenic separation systems extract high-purity oxygen (99+%) and nitrogen (99+%) from aircraft engine bleed air using advanced, compact cryogenic distillation technology. Cryogenic cooling is provided by a reverse-Brayton cryocooler. The systems produce liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen for storage and gaseous nitrogen for distribution directly to the aircraft fuel tanks. We have developed large-scale systems for military aircraft application and miniaturized systems for HOT that are based on the production and use of low-pressure liquid, rather than high-pressure gaseous oxygen.
Semipermeable Membrane Separation Systems
Creare's semipermeable membrane-based OBIGGS combines advanced technology with novel turbomachinery and heat exchangers to provide a lightweight, low-power aircraft fuel tank inerting system.
Molecular Sieve Separation Systems
Creare has developed molecular sieve based oxygen generating systems that combine the advantages of a molecular sieve with the advantages of liquid oxygen storage. In applications that have high peak and low off-peak flow requirements, this hybrid approach allows for a very significant reduction in the size of the system. The molecular sieve and its resource requirements can be much smaller than would be required to meet the peak flow requirements. The peak demand requirements can then be met by the stored liquid oxygen.

Rocket Engine, Liquid Propellant, F-1, Mockup
This is a mockup of the F-1 liquid fuel rocket engine. The F-1 engine, producing 1.5 million pounds of thrust, was the power plant for the first stage of the giant Saturn V launch vehicle. The Saturn V launch vehicles propelled Apollo program astronauts on their historic journies to the Moon between 1969 and 1972. The first stage of the Saturn V, or S-IC, was fitted with five F-1's for a total lift-off thrust of 7.5 million pounds.
The F-1 used RP-1, a type of kerosene, and liquid oxygen as the propellants. The F-1's 2,500 pound turbopump pumped in the propellants at 42,500 gallons per minute and was cooled regeneratively.
This F-1 mockup was a gift from the Rocketdyne Division of Rockwell International in 1976.

Nectar gardening is new to many avid gardeners, but as the Butterfly House exhibit at Tyler Arboretum validates, the benefits are bold and beautiful, and a welcome sign for your fluttering friends. The concept is simple. Select from many lovely nectar plants, include host plants, and invite to your garden caterpillars to butterflies, such as the monarch. August is the right time to learn more.
Butterflies need our help
In the past 10 years, there have been reports detailing the decline of the migrating monarch butterfly. Loss of habitat and cold temperatures are some of the sited reasons by organizations such as monarchwatch.org and journeynorth.com. To help reverse their decline, planting native milkweed, providing nectar plants and avoiding pesticides are encouraged. The Butterfly House at Tyler Arboretum offers an up close and personal way to learn more about monarchs and other butterflies, as well as, which nectar plants to consider for your garden. Best of all, at the Butterfly House at Tyler Arboretum, you get to watch and learn of butterflies in their own world of favorites. The 1,400-square-foot screened enclosure is a delight for young and old to experience, as butterflies, such as skippers, swallowtails, and monarchs, flutter around you and the colorful flowers that they adore.
Invite butterflies to your garden
You will surely recognize some of the flowers that are part of the extensive planting inside the Butterfly House at Tyler Arboretum. Likely, some of these same nectar plants are flowering in your garden, this August. Well-loved flowers, such as coneflowers and zinnias, are just two of the many mainstay nectar plants that are native to our area. There are also nectar plants we would consider an herb or spice, which certain butterflies prefer. One detail that may be new to gardeners who wish to bring butterflies to their space, is the importance of growing host plants for caterpillars to devour. The Butterfly Weed, different than the Butterfly Bush, is one such host plant ideally desired by the monarch caterpillar.
August is the time for butterflies
August is the time to take advantage of that which is in bloom and this exhibit. The Amazing Butterflies exhibit is open until September 1st to enjoy learning from the personable spokesperson at the Butterfly House. The experience is delightful whether you visit with children, adults, or on your own. Another opportunity in August is the Butterfly Festival. This special event is Saturday, August 23rd from 10:00 am until 2:00 pm, and sponsored by Rebud Native Plant Nursery. Either way, August is the month to feel free as a butterfly, at Tyler Arboretum. Watch, listen, and learn more about how to invite these fluttering friends to you garden. Life is certainly more colorful and vibrant with butterflies in our world, and it feels so wonderfully free when we get to experience the world of butterflies. Flutter in, soon, to the Butterfly House at Tyler Arboretum. It is such a perfect time to be free.

GEN's Expert Panelists Discuss Technologies and...
North Carolina State University scientists report the discovery of how a specific protein-protein interaction prevents the cell from turning one of its switches off, which leads to uncontrolled cell proliferation.
The researchers say that Raf secures one of the two so-called switch regions in mutated Ras, so that the second switch can act like a closed door that isolates the key area where the overall signal switch is located.
In the chain of 189 amino acids of which Ras is composed, the position in question is at the 61st amino acid, which is normally a glutamine known to help in turning the interaction switch off. Mutation of this amino acid to leucine is a commonly observed defect in cancer cells.
"The switch only gets stuck on when Raf is present and the defective Ras has position 61 as a leucine, or one of the few amino acids shown to cause cell transformation, one of the properties observed in cancer," says Carla Mattos, Ph.D, associate professor of structural and molecular biochemistry and the lead author of the paper. "For glutamine or the mutations that do not cause cell transformation, the molecular door can fly open and allow access to the switch, even when Raf is bound to Ras. The door can always open in the absence of Raf, mutation or not."
The paper is published in the December 2007 edition of Structure.

The number of eligible students for the city's gifted and talented programs for grades kindergarten through third grade went down this year, the New York Post reported on Friday night.
Only 26 percent of children who took the entrance exam, or 9,993 students, qualified for the programs, compared to 33 percent, or 11,876 students, last year — a decrease of 2,000 students.
Students can only apply for gifted and talented programs if they pass an assessment. District gifted and talented programs are in district elementary schools, running from kindergarten to the school's terminal grade, according to the Department of Education's official website. Citywide programs do not give any district priority, accepting students from all five boroughs.
There was also income disparity in the results, with students living in wealthier districts making up a large percentage of students who passed the exam.
Forty-three percent of 3,668 students in Manhattan District 2, which covers Tribeca, Greenwich Village and the Upper East Side, passed the exam. And forty-six percent of 1,677 students living in District 3 on the Upper East Side also passed the exam. But only 21 students, or 11 percent of 213 students tested in District 7 in the South Bronx passed.
As part of his mayoral campaign, Mayor Bill de Blasio said that he would remove single-test criteria for admissions and gifted and talented decisions, including selective schools, and institutionalize the use of portfolio assessments in schools.
The application deadline for gifted and talented programs is April 21. The DOE will notify families during the week of May 26.
