Give a Gift Membership
With this gift of nature, Nature Conservancy magazine arrives all year long. Join
As part of Earth Week, The Nature Conservancy in New Mexico hosted a volunteer work day on Thursday, April 25, from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m. for employees of long-time and valued partner, the Public Service Company of New Mexico (PNM). Twenty volunteers outfitted in gloves and work boots rolled up their sleeves to conduct trail maintenance and build fences around groups of cottonwood trees to protect them from resourceful beavers.
The preserve's history began in 2000 when PNM donated 190 acres of open space to establish the Santa Fe Canyon Preserve. Years of restoration and conservation work has turned what was once the center of Santa Fe's hydroelectric industry into an oasis with wildflowers, willows, deer, bear and beaver.
The now 525-acre preserve is located only a few miles from Santa Fe's historic downtown plaza.
"This preserve has become a popular place for locals to exercise or simply enjoy the outdoors and view wildlife," says Bob Findling, the Conservancy's Director of Land Protection & Stewardship, who is responsible for managing the preserve. "We're grateful for the long term commitment of PNM to the preserve, which began with the company's original land donation. The preserve provides an important linkage between the City's open space trails. And, it has become a focus of local environmental education and recreational activities."
PNM values the Conservancy. "We believe in the work The Nature Conservancy does throughout our state," says PNM Vice President Chris Olson. "Their science-based conservation work provides solutions that protect important lands and waterways we all depend on. We're proud to partner with such an outstanding organization."
Volunteer work days on the Santa Fe Canyon Preserve are scheduled 2-3 times a year. Organizations and individuals interested in participating in a volunteer work day or learning more about The Nature Conservancy are encouraged to visit the Conservancy's website at nature.org/newmexico.
If you are interested in covering the work day, email Tracey Stone at firstname.lastname@example.com.
With headquarters in Albuquerque, PNM is the largest electricity provider in New Mexico, serving 500,000 customers in dozens of communities across the state. PNM is a subsidiary of PNM Resources, an energy holding company also headquartered in Albuquerque. For more information, visit PNM.com.

Is there the effect of sun rising and sun setting, in terms of Rayleigh scattering and visual spectrum and other factors completely similar and symmetric? I mean can one recognise them from a picture taken from the sky?
The average air temperature is always lower at sunrise, which changes the atmospheric refraction infinitesimally. On the moon, you would only have the tiny difference from the doppler shift due to your motion relative to the sun, so that sunrise would be a teeny-weeny bit bluer than sunset.
In most areas yes, there is more atmospheric pollution generated during the day so sunsets are slightly redder than sunrises.
But from purely orbital/geometric measurements, no they are identical.

Aloe striata in bloom. Looks nice against the rock. Granite!
According to some newspaper somewhere the best place to hold your wedding in San Angelo, Texas is at the Cactus Hotel.
Perhaps one of the most well-known sites for weddings in San Angelo is the Cactus Hotel. More than 60 weddings a year take place at the Cactus, said Marilyn Flage, manager of the Cactus.
I wonder if they have any cactus at the Cactus Hotel? Let's find out, shall we?
This looks like a wedding, but I don't see no cactus nowhere. Even if you click the picture to embiggen, you won't see any cacti in that photo at the Cactus Hotel.
What about the exterior?
Wow! You never know what you'll find on the internets these days. A classic antique postcard of the Cactus Hotel in San Angelo, Texas and not a single cactus in sight. Beautiful card, but still, what a ripoff.
Last weeks travels took me all the way down to the Bowery and the New Museum New York where they were closed due to installing new exhibits on all floors at the same time. Interesting!
However, I did get to see one piece of art on the facade of the building as part of their facade art program. This is Isa Genzken's Rose II.
The rose sculpture, which measure 28 feet tall, is on loan from a private collector who, as The Observer noted, paid 750,000 Euros for the sculpture.
And the building was designed by recent Pritzker Prize winners SANAA who also designed the interesting glass pavilion in Toledo.

How to Gain an Inch on Your Hips
One Methods:Eating to Gain an Inch on Your HipsCommunity Q&A
With most cultures obsessed with being slim and losing weight, people who want to gain weight often have a hard time finding resources to help them. Gaining weight in specific areas, such as your hips, requires a targeted workout that will build the sets of muscles that surround those areas. When you gain inches or centimeters around your hips, you will also need to expect your bottom or butt to grow as well. Gain an inch on your hips by creating a workout that will target that area and by eating more calories to support the growth of muscle around the hips.
1Measure your hips with a tape measure. This will provide your starting point. Wrap the tape measure around the widest part of your hips for an accurate reading.
2Join a gym. To get access to the exercise equipment you will need, join a gym or athletic center. The local YMCA will also provide the machines and support you need.
3Consider working with a personal trainer. While a private trainer can be expensive, having professional attention will help you reach your goals.
- Ask your trainer to create a set of exercise to help you gain an inch in your hips. Your trainer can provide guidance while you are in the gym and give you advice on how to workout at home or on your own between sessions.
4Buy some weights to keep at home. Doing hip exercises between your trips to the gym will help you add an inch to the area.
- Talk to your trainer about how heavy the weights should be that you buy and use. If you do not have a trainer, start with weights that are heavy enough to keep you from doing more than 5 to 10 repetitions when doing squats or lifts.
- Wear a weight vest if you cannot afford to buy weights. You can make a home made vest for when you are working out at home. For example, a backpack filled with books will work or you can use a toddler or small child when you are doing specific exercises for your hips.
5Do squats. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, and bend deeply with your knees, keeping your back straight. Use your strong hips to push yourself back up into a standing position.
- Use weights if you have them. Squats will work your gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus, which will help give you wider hips.
6Do lunges. Stand up straight with about 2 feet (0.6 m) of space between your feet. While holding weights, bend your right knee while your left leg stays straight. This puts you in a lunge position.
- Use your hips to push you back into a standing position. Lunge back down to the left side and push yourself into a standing position. Do this for 5 to 10 repetitions.
7Walk sideways on a treadmill. Set the treadmill on an incline and start at a slow pace. Cross your legs over one another to walk sideways. This will give your hips the tension they need to induce muscle growth.
8Do hip thrusts, also called butt bridges. Lay on your back with weight on your hips. With your knees bent, press your butt up in the air, until your back is elevated off the ground and straight.
- Hold onto the weight so it does not fall onto your head. Do between 8 and 10 repetitions before stopping to rest.
9Supplement your hip workouts with regular weight training. Lifting weights and using resistance machines at the gym will increase your overall strength and muscle tone, helping you add an inch to your hips.
Eating to Gain an Inch on Your Hips
1Increase your calorie intake daily. In order to gain an inch on your hips, you will need to eat more. For example, if you currently eat 1,800 calories per day, try increasing your daily caloric intake to 2,200.
2Eat more protein. Protein will build muscle in your body, and replace any fat that you burn off while you work out.
- Choose foods with high protein contents, including eggs, fish, chicken, beef and pork. You can also get protein from nuts.
3Snack on almonds. Almonds provide vitamin E that is easily absorbed by your body. This vitamin prevents free radical damage that heavy workouts can often cause.
4Choose Omega-3 fats. Found in foods like salmon, walnuts and spinach, these fats help your muscles recover and grow.
5Use olive oil for energy. Put oil on your salads, vegetables and use it to marinate your meat. It will provide the energy you need to fuel your workouts and increase your strength.
6Consider an eating plan specific to your workout. Many bodybuilders and weightlifters commit to the Paleo diet - an eating plan that imagines how the cavemen ate during the Paleolithic period. This diet contains meat, fish, vegetables and fruit.
7Use supplements to increase your energy and muscle growth. Try muscle milk, protein bars or any other supplements that are on the market.
Community Q&A
- Keep a training log to track your progress. You can record workouts, mark your hip measurements and make notes of any special challenges or victories you encounter while adding an inch to your hips.
Things You'll Need

- Gym membership
- Weights

Rafting in Bosnia: A Landscape of Incomparable Splendor
By Cindy-Lou Dale
En route to Mostar from Sarajevo, driving through a dizzying canyon, my guide, Sasha, decided to stop off at Konjic, a small town on the way. There was a man there, she claimed, I needed to meet.
My trip to Bosnia was purely an academic one – a meeting with a history professor at Mostar University, so arranged that I could savor a few days in the country which had once been beaten to within an inch of her life in a recent civil war.
"Samir Krivi?," Sasha explained, "is a physical training instructor by profession, but he also owns a whitewater rafting company."
I recall thinking how civilized it all was – a cooked breakfast served on a wooden deck, shaded from the baking sun by canvas covers, followed by a general rule guide to rafting. Later we all piled into an assortment of 4x4's and pootled off, following the river some 19 miles (30km) upstream.
A Stab of Despair
A panic-induced protest stuttered to a start when Samir handed me a wet-suit and helmet. In hindsight I think because I mentioned that I had done a bit of canoeing in Malawi, he assumed some measure of competence on my part.
I fixed him with the most respectful grovelling look I believe I have ever mustered and enquired if he expected us to be getting wet. He smiled broadly, indicating that I should look into the canyon.
I felt a stab of despair when I peered over the edge; several hundred feet below was a deeply carved gorge with a foaming froth of fast moving white water. A small, uncontrolled squeak escaped me.
"Now," Samir announced, "we raft."
And so it was that I began my unintended first-ever whitewater adventure, when I gingerly stepped into a rubber raft containing several other wide-eyed innocents, all looking a little owlish. I showed them my teeth and sat down, securing my feet under the ropes.
Cartoon Velocity
Then, with a startled cry, and a near backward summersault, we took off with a velocity seldom seen outside a Road Runner cartoon. Shrieking hysterically, we surfed through huge rapids and deep troughs as if on an Exocet missile.
I was quietly certain we would all die this day, all except Samir of course, who evidently feared nothing. Following what felt like a small eternity, but in reality was but a few minutes, the waking nightmare was over and we were in calm waters.
Despite myself I became rather excited at the prospect of the next set of rapids and uttered a cry of pleasure when Samir pointed them out.
Dazzling the Senses
The Neretva is 140 miles (225km) in length, of which 126 miles 203km is in Herzegovina and 14 miles 22km in Croatia.
The upper stream of the Neretva contains water of Class A purity and is ranked as containing the coldest water in the world with temperatures as low as seven or eight degrees Celsius (44-46° F) in the summer months.
Later, when we entered the calmer waters, I began to look around and see truly astounding sights; like the plump mountains suddenly and infinitely splashed with every sharp shade that nature could bestow, offset against white canyon walls and turquoise coloured waters, under a vast summer sky; a contrast that truly dazzles the senses.
We rafted for several hours, passing through a landscape of incomparable splendor and ended the trip where we had breakfasted earlier in the day.
"Bosnia is more than a rugged country," Samir explained. "It's a way of life which demands extreme outdoor sports. Some sportsmen paraglide off the top of Viso?ica and over the canyon of Rakitnica; others prefer to mountain bike across the Prenj plateau - Bosnia's version of the Himalayas."
He took a long pull at his pint and grew thoughtful. "The locals, though, favour rafting on the crystal-clear rapids of our world renowned Rivers Neretva, Una and Tara."
Fearsome Folk
Soon Sasha and I resumed our journey to Mostar where we spent the night in a charming not-touched-since-the-60s type of hotel.
Our fellow diners were possibly the most fearsome looking folk I had seen since a recent family reunion. They looked as if they had just come in from killing large animals in the woods, perhaps with their teeth.
The dining room was hung with wallpaper which was doing its best to flee dampness; which is what I did immediately upon finishing my meal.
I awoke the next morning to a world bathed in that predawn light that seems to come from nowhere.
An Amiable Giant
We struck off before breakfast in a north-easterly direction towards Foca and the River Tara. We grouped with a few other thrill seekers at the local offices of Encijan Rafting, where Milan Supic-Sherpas loaded us into his 4x4 and proceeded further to Vranovina.
En route Sherpas used every four-wheel drive feature his vehicle possessed, driving on a steep and narrow mountain track, often needing to make three point turns on sliding gravel.
We arrived at Encijan's camp to a lavish buffet lunch set out beneath a covered wooden deck, overlooking a raging mass of turquoise water.
Sherpas, an amiable giant, with a handsome peasant look about him, explained that the River Tara was coined the jewel of Europe.
"This," he said, waving a hand in the general direction of the wild, foaming river, "rises from the mountain ranges in the northern part of Montenegro and flows 87 miles (140km) until meeting with the Piva River where it forms the River Drina, one of the longest and largest rivers in the Balkans."
"And that," he said, indicating the forest surrounding us, "is one of the last three remaining jungles in Europe with many trees more than 500 years old."

Janeane Garofalo
"I guess I just prefer to see the dark side of things. The glass is always half empty. And cracked. And I just cut my lip on it. And chipped a tooth." -Janeane Garofalo
Janeane Garofalo has been making us laugh, think and drool (not necessarily in that order) for more than two decades now. In addition to a successful stand-up career, she is familiar to most from her days as a supremely cynical and acerbic character on The Larry Sanders Show and as a promiscuous Gap manager in 1994's Reality Bites.
There's no doubt that Janeane has left her stamp on the nation. Now, if she'd just leave her stamp on us, we'd be eternally grateful.
Janeane Garofalo BiographyJaneane Garofalo was born on September 28, 1964, in Newton, New Jersey, and is of Italian and Irish descent. Her father, Carmine, is a former Exxon executive and her mother, Joan, was a secretary (she has since passed away). Janeane spent part of her high school years at Madison High School in New Jersey, but when her family moved to Houston, Texas, she was forced to switch schools. She cites the trauma of this move as the impetus for her sarcastic tendencies.
janeane inspired by david letterman
Inspired by the writing of The David Letterman Show, Janeane decided to become a comedian and dreamed of eventually writing for Letterman. While majoring in history and American studies at Rhode Island's Providence College, Janeane took the first steps toward her comedic career -- she entered a talent search and was named the "Funniest Person in Rhode Island."
Before breaking into show business, Janeane worked as a bike messenger, shoe salesperson and secretary to supplement her income as a stand-up comic.
janeane on ben stiller and larry sanders
After small parts in even smaller movies, Janeane Garofalo's career officially began in the early 1990s, doing comedy sketches on The Ben Stiller Show (1992) -- she was romantically linked with Ben Stiller during her stint. Her next major gig came about that same year, as a recurring character on the Emmy-winning HBO series, The Larry Sanders Show, from 1992 to 1997.
On the personal front, Janeane married The Ben Stiller Show writer Rob Cohen in 1992, in a Las Vegas chapel (as a joke). The relationship ended, but the marriage has never officially been nullified.
janeane garofalo in reality bites
Garofalo received more recognition for her acting over the next few years, appearing in Reality Bites (1994) alongside Winona Ryder and Ben Stiller, and earning a spot as a cast member on Saturday Night Live's 1994-1995 season.
She was allegedly offered the role of Gale Weathers (which went to Courteney Cox) in the hit slasher flick Scream (1996), but turned it down to pursue other projects (among them 1996's little-known Sweethearts).
janeane garofalo in the cable guy
In 1996, Janeane co-hosted the MTV Movie Awards with Ben Stiller. That same year, she appeared in numerous high-profile projects, including The Truth About Cats & Dogs, The Cable Guy and Larger Than Life. She followed these up with roles in Touch (1997), with Gina Gershon, Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (1997), with Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow, The Thin Pink Line (1998), Half Baked (1998), and Permanent Midnight (1998), starring Ben Stiller.
Continuing her friendship with Stiller, she co-authored a book with him in 1999, called Feel This Book: An Essential Guide to Self-Empowerment, Spiritual Supremacy, and Sexual Satisfaction. Janeane continued a torrid work pace in 1999, appearing in seven projects, including Kevin Smith's Dogma and the misfit superhero comedy Mystery Men, starring alongside Stiller once again.
Her film output did not slow down over the next few years -- since 2000, Janeane has appeared in films like Steal This Movie (2000), The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle (2000), Wet Hot American Summer (2001), Big Trouble (2002), and Wonderland (2003).
janeane on crossfire and in stay
In 2003, Janeane became extremely outspoken against the war in Iraq, appearing on CNN's Crossfire to debate the issue.
In 2004, she appeared in the comedy Jiminy Glick in La La Wood, starring Martin Short. More recently, she appeared in Duane Hopwood (2005) and the made-for-TV movie Nadine in Date Land (2005), and she can be seen in the drama Stay (2005), with Ewan McGregor and Naomi Watts, in late 2005.
janeane garofalo on the majority report
In addition to her reputation as a social commentator and political activist, Janeane remains a vocal political agitator as a cohost on The Majority Report, a talk show on Air America Radio.

2008 Research Summary
Parallel Web Browser
View Current Project Information
Ras Bodik, Krste Asanovic, Leo Meyerovich and Chris Jones
With 4G networks and better output devices, building a parallel browser will be the last step to desktop-quality, AJAX-full browsing on an energy-limited handheld. Only a manycore handheld will provide the cycles needed for parsing (including translation to DOM), rendering (including page layout), and scripting--the three primary browser activities. Unfortunately, all three are considered nearly inherently sequential. In this project, we will explore techniques to parallelize all three. Older discarded styles of parsers appear promising for parallelization. Although irregular dependencies make parallelization of rendering challenging (e.g., changing one letter may force re-layout of an entire page), rendering is a dynamic programming dwarf composed with a graph traversal dwarf, and is parallelizable with some software speculation. Our goal is to turn every website developer into a parallel programmer without plaguing them with threads and/or locks. A transactional DOM has been proposed by others, but we think we can do without threads and transactions, remaining entirely implicitly parallel thanks to a streaming language, SkipJax (derived from BrownU's FlapJax (FlapJax 2007)) that combines reactive and media programming.

"If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government, and which against the usurpations of the national rulers may be exerted ...."
Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28
Febrruary 2013
There is no question that our government has betrayed their constituents. The irresponsible fiscal policies, endless scandals and unConstitutional acts/executive orders have put law abiding people under the chains of tyranny. One of the major causes of this situation is the democratic process to elect our "representatives" to the Constitutional Republic. The number of people who have sold their vote (and our Liberty) for entitlements is evil. Enslaving others through redistribution for your own self-interest is evil.
But can evil be quantified in our case? Someone who has taken an oath to uphold the Constitution and then supports tyranny is also evil. The Southern border crisis manufactured by our "government" would never happen if our soldiers and law enforcement officers would uphold the Constitution. Any one who supports illegal acts by submitting to intimidation is a coward. A paycheck to support your family is no excuse to submit to tyranny. Are you really supporting your family by guaranteeing their enslavement? Does any law abiding American really not see the consequences of supporting evil?
So who is more evil: someone who passively endorses tyranny by selling their vote or someone who hides in shame and actively supports tyranny? I do not understand why our border guards do not speak up concerning the immigration camp conditions. We are no longer the America given to us by the sacrifices of our forefathers. Can anyone imagine trying to justify their actions on Judgment Day? Just doing my job was not an excuse at the Nuremberg Trials. When the administration's blackout on the border crisis is breached, it will not be an excuse in the future.

Yes, I agree the left has stole the elections. I will never be convinced Obama and his commies friends ever won a election fair and square,in fact I myself sometimes wonder if it is worth voting.In las Vegas the machines were fixed,if you voted for Mitt if showed up for Obama .How about our troops out of the country not getting ballots and the plane went down with the ballots that did get done?I want to know why Soros owns the voting machines and why was the ballots counted in Spain? Where are the republicans on this matter?
I didn't mean to say all christians don't vote,I am a christian but we can't put our head in the sand and just pray.I pray to God everyday to help us fight this evil and I feel in the end we will win,goodness always does.
Genevieve -- Who said anything about not voting?
Not me. I vote in every election
Sally's question was how did Obama win both elections.
The answer is that the Left "steals" elections.
Examples: They count "dead" peoples' votes. They also bus people in from other areas to vote. And the results of the count of voting machines can be "altered." That's why we need to return to paper ballots.
Here in Minnesota, Sen. Al Franken won his office when the votes were recounted. Suddenly, a bag of ballots was found in a janitor's closet. And then another bag of ballots was found in the trunk of someone's car. Surprisingly, all those extra votes were for Al Franken! What a strange coincidence!
The U.S. is in two "wars" at this time. One is a political war. The other is a spiritual war.
A spiritual war cannot be remedied by a political solution.
Many, many Americans have moved away from God. Satanism is growing rampant. The entertainment industry has grown immoral. One rock star stated that if you want to become successful in the music world, you have to join a satanic group. In general. American children mimic rock stars, movie stars, etc. by the way they dress and behave. And many educational systems have been changed to "dumb down" our children.
Until Americans return to respecting God, not much in our nation is going to improve. If we focus on being in daily conscious contact with God, the Left will lose its power.
"unless god intervenes" yes, we must pray to God for strength but God said" God helps those who helps themselves".I've heard christians say when asked if they are voting or if they are worried about what is happening in America, they say God will take care of us.May-be in the after life but how about now ???? you see what is happening to Chrisitans in the middle east ,don't think it could not happen here if Obama has anything to do with it.Everyone must do their part in protecting America from this evil so get off your high horse and vote and make your voice heard.
If they do not have the support of the sovereign Citizens of the fifty sovereign states then the pathocratic parasites in Washington are nothing more than helpless and hopeless wannabe thieves. The cadre of no-talent fools that we have managed to elect to be "our" government do not have a P.T.P.I. unless someone in the fifty states produces it and sends it to them -- and, bizarrely, when they buy it, we send back to them in the form of taxes some of the money that they use to pay for it.
Most of them are certainly delusional -- but then, what are we if not delusional when we expect things to be made better in and from Goofyville on the Potomac. It's time to pull the plugs and close the valves and shut them down.
There is still an option to war, but it involves some work for the all of us who still care enough to make the effort. The House and the Senate can arrest Obama for sedition and high treason - his orchestration for allowing the flow of illegals across our border and doing nothing to stop it, and providing money, weapons, and comfort to terrorists who aim to kill Americans. Maybe when Americans start dying from diseases these illegals brought, or the gang members start killing Americans, the outrage will begin. We have become a nation of sheep except for a few that are pissed off beyond description. My question: of what are we afraid? These border guards can refuse to partake in the transfer of these illegals throughout the country. Why doesn't their union call for a general strike? Some border agents are already getting sick, and they have children and family at home. Why don't they scream, "Hell, No!" Until more of us stand up to this half breed, ineligible piece of garbage, he will continue pushing us. He has been testing us since he usurped the Oval Office. His nuts - if he has any - should have been squeezed 5 years ago. BUT IT'S NEVER TOO LATE!! Visit us for more.
William Homolka, Editor & CEO,
Thats why we need ID all over and that why Holder dont want it we have it here in Mich..
Sally Furgerson -- I believe Obama won both times by stealing the elections. It happens regularly. Unless God intervenes, it can happen again in 2016 -- whether Obama or a different Progressive runs for the office.
We must get -- and stay -- in conscious contact with God and Christ in prayer, asking for their help in defeating whichever Democrat runs for the office.
selling out your principles is evil...
Doing what the boss says has a little bit to do with keeping a job. There are some employers who have a problem with things they consider insubordination and most people who like their jobs prefer to keep them. The boss who issues the evil order is the most evil of all.
I think it goes like this:
Extremism in the face of tyranny is obedience to God.

Mee-ow kitten! These Tattoo Pantyhose ($23) are s-e-x-y. Each pair is hand designed and you've got your pick of stockings, full length, or pantyhose. There's a lot of different designs, but we're crushing on this little Follow Me Birdie design. Different, unconventional and totally non-committal.
I just ordered the Twitter knee sock version. Oh, I so love being a fashiongeeksta!

Bruce noted: >>>It might be enough to show that even relatively strong FM or SSB signals from close by aren't enough to swamp the signals from the tire telemetry chips, by rigorous and empirical testing .. or it might not. (A great deal depends on how rugged the manufacturers make the telemetry receivers and what the effects of the inevitable cost- and corner- cutting in the design process will be.)<<< Many of these automobile issues are resolved by the needs of the safety, commercial and industrial users (ie police, fire, package delivery etc..) who have no qualms about using high power(100W) radios to insure constant communications. I'm sure the local sheriff doesn't want his dashboard telling him his tires are going flat on a 120 mph chase down some lonely highway...or during one of those spectacular California Freeeway chases you see all the time. Not suggesting that this will happen again, but at the earliest inclusion of computers into automobile as brains, both the major radio manufacturers and the automakers had to work together to make sure your car would continue to run when you transmitted. Mostly the solution was cable routing, antenna location, shielding and bypass...some vehicles didn't make the cut, so you just didn't buy them. It could get as far as it did with passenger side airbags, where a "workaround" to disconnect them becomes available. As for the guy driving beside you, that's another story.

Second Trimester: Bump It Up Put spring in your step with a colorful Johnny Was embroidered cotton sundress (think beach cover-up next year). Pair it with comfy bright yellow Jacynthe ballerina flats by Repetto (both at Capucine, 20 Harrison Street; 212-219-4030). Map It
Third Trimester: the Final Countdown Since you'll be in nesting overdrive, score a silky soft layette by Victoria Christmas (Estella, 493 Sixth Avenue; 212-255-3553).

Emergency rescue personnel celebrate the recovery of 8-year-old New Berlin girl who survived deadly crash
Dozens of emergency responders from around Lake Country gathered to celebrate the recovery of 8-year-old Amie Rindt, seven months after they helped rescue her from a terrible car accident on Highway 16 in Nashotah. There wasn't a dry eye in the firehouse as Amie, her brother Sam, 6, and their father, Nick walked slowly into the bay of Lake County Fire and Rescue Station in Delafield on April 5.
"This celebration is about Amie and her family. It's truly an amazing miracle. People don't often survive these types of traumatic injuries. We're all so grateful to be able to meet Amie and her family again under better circumstances," said Capt. Nick Heltemes of Lake County Fire and Rescue.
On a gloomy Sunday afternoon last September, emergency crews were dispatched to the scene of the deadly head-on collision involving two vehicles that took the lives of Oconomowoc resident Glenda Skalecki and her mother, Karen Gulley.
"The scene was so large. I remember thinking, 'Where do we start; how do we fix this situation?' But we all worked together, and it was a miracle. I never thought I'd be here today, and I'm so grateful to be a part of this celebration," said Lt. Thom Moerman of the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.
Nick Rindt of New Berlin sustained minor injuries and his son, Sam, suffered a broken rib from the collision. Amie, who was 7 at the time of the accident, was transported to Children's Hospital by the Flight for Life helicopter. Her story of survival and ongoing recovery has touched the lives of many.
Grim scene
After performing a quick medical triage, the first emergency responders discovered Amie, lifeless in her booster seat with her head slumped down and her skin ashen.
"When we first arrived on the scene, we didn't know what to expect. The little girl didn't have a pulse, and we immediately started CPR. I am so grateful for our training. You don't think about it; you just do what you have to do. I'm just happy everyone is OK. To see Amie again after what she went through is awesome," said Scott Surges, firefighter/emergency medical technician from Lake County Fire and Rescue.
According to a news release from Lake County Fire and Rescue, Amie's survival and recovery after such a traumatic injury is rare, with only a 4 percent chance that resuscitation would be successful.
Survival story
"This is a great story about survival. The reason why we are all here today to meet this family and celebrate such a positive outcome is due to the efforts of emergency responders from Stone Bank, Hartland, Okauchee, Lake Country Fire and Rescue, the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department and the 911 dispatch center. It doesn't matter what is says on the side of our vehicles; we all worked together to help rescue this little girl and her family," said Lake Country Fire and Rescue Chief Jack Edwards during the ceremony.
"Amie was in a medically induced coma and slept through her 8th birthday. She spent seven weeks in ICU and was finally released on Dec. 23," explained her grandmother, Shirley Rindt of New Berlin. "The impact from the accident caused her head to snap so far forward that her brain stem stretched away from her spinal cord. We were told she was technically dead at the scene."
Amie has endured 14 medical procedures and is slowly recovering from her traumatic brain injury, but is back in school at Ronald Reagan Elementary School in New Berlin. During the celebration, she presented a handmade card to her rescuers that reads, "Thank you for saving my life because I could've died, you know. I couldn't survive without you."
"Today brings back a lot of emotions, but I am so grateful our family is whole. I met the men who started CPR on Amie and brought her back. They were the beginning of a positive outcome. Without the efforts of all of these people, Amie wouldn't be here right now," added Shirley, wiping away tears.
During the event, Amie and her brother, Sam, were able to meet all of the emergency personnel involved with their rescue and received a personal tour of the fire station and rescue apparatus. The Flight for Life helicopter also made an appearance, landing in the baseball field next to the station. Amie and Sam were given a tour of the helicopter by flight medic John Emerson.
Emerson has been a working with Flight for Life for the past 19 years. "It was quite an accident on a busy highway. We all worked so well together; it's nice to know we have such great partners on the ground," said Emerson. "We transport a lot of people, and we never get to see them again. We see a lot of hurt, and it's pretty neat to have the chance to celebrate something positive with this family."

An interesting photograph walked into the O'Dell House Museum today. This is not a totally uncommon event. As it is known that the Annapolis Heritage Society collects archival material for the western part of Annapolis County, we have people offering us archival documents on a regular basis. These include ledgers, manuscript records, recordings, videos and, as in today's donation, photographs. Since we have a limited storage capacity, we only collect material directly related to our region. Other materials are directed to the proper museum or archives who would collect them.
One of the most discussed events in recent Annapolis Royal history is the collapse of the Annapolis Royal to Granville Ferry bridge on June 9, 1960. Those of us who live in the area have all heard the stories of how the last vehicle to cross the bridge was the school bus returning to Granville Ferry. In the telling, this story is sometimes elevated to Hollywood extremes with the bus narrowly escaping as the bridge plunges into the water. I am sure that Hollywood would add a background explosion as the bus turns safely onto the Granville Road.
In all seriousness, it had been known for some time that the bridge was moving more than normal. This had something to do with the ongoing construction of the new Annapolis River Causeway. When the fill for the causeway was put in place, the currents and eddies which had affected the bridge for over 40 years began to change. These changes put new stresses on the bridge which led to its collapse. As a young man, Philip Milo of Granville Ferry was hired to watch the bridge an make notes on its movements. The former Annapolis County Councilor gives an excellent presentation on his time as the bridge watcher if you ever have the chance to hear him speak.
To demonstrate the strength of the tides in the Annapolis Basin, one of the large metal spans broke free and fell into the water. This span spent the night stuck in the mud near the end of the Annapolis Royal Wharf. When the next tide went out, the span was swept out toward the Bay of Fundy never to be seen again. Some local fishermen claim that the span still sits under the water in Port Wade.
When the bridge collapsed the next closest way to get across the river was to drive to Bridgetown and back which takes approximately 40 minutes. To save residents some time an interim ferry system was put in place. Passengers were transported by motor boat until October when some vehicles were allowed to cross the causeway.
It looks like I am having the month of March start with some disasters. My last post was on historic fires in Annapolis Royal and today's is on the collapse of the bridge. I may run with the disaster theme a bit longer and make my next post about some images from a train crash.
All for now,

College Hockey:Ohio State Women Jump To CHA
Move Gives Conference Six Teams, Autobid Eligibility
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State women's ice hockey team has accepted an offer to join College Hockey America and will begin league play in 2004-05, ending a five-year affiliation with the Western Collegiate Hockey Association.
"We have certainly enjoyed our stay in the WCHA. It has been very beneficial for the growth and development of our young team," said Andy Geiger, Ohio State director of athletics, said. "At the same time, we look forward to our new affiliation with the CHA and the opportunities this league presents. The proximity of the teams in this league make it especially attractive from a travel standpoint for Ohio State."
Ohio State is one of two teams which will begin start CHA play in 2004-05, as Quinnipiac accepted the CHA's invitation in July. The CHA Women's conference, which began in 2002-03, currently consists of Findlay, Mercyhurst, Niagara and Wayne State. Mercyhurst claimed the regular-season and playoff titles in the league's inaugural campaign.
Ohio State is familiar with the teams in CHA, as the Buckeyes have played Findlay, Mercyhurst and Wayne State during the past four years. OSU will play three teams currently in the conference (Findlay, Mercyhurst and Niagara), as well as Quinnipiac this season.
Since moving to Division I in 1999, Ohio State has competed in the WCHA. The Buckeyes placed fourth in the standings in each year except 2001. That year, the Buckeyes placed fifth during the regular season, yet still advanced to the WCHA championship game by upsetting regular-season champion Minnesota.
"We have had a positive experience competing in the WCHA the past five years," Jackie Barto, Ohio State head coach, said. "We are very excited about joining College Hockey America, which is committed to women's hockey and the growth of collegiate hockey. We look forward to beginning this new association next season and feel it will be a positive for our program."
With the addition of Ohio State and Quinnipiac, the league will feature six members, the minimum number required to be eligible for an automatic berth in the NCAA championship.
"I think it's a huge positive that Ohio State looked at the big picture for not just themselves, but also from a women's hockey standpoint," said Niagara coach Margot Page. "We have four [six-team] leagues now. Because of that everyone's getting a home, which hasn't happened in the past."

Dear LA Teacher,
I noticed that the curriculum for my English class next fall includes developing a web page. Would you explain how that is done?
Nervous LA Junior
Dear Nervous LA Junior,
When assigned to create a web page, think about its purpose. Are you creating it for personal reasons, business intentions, or for an educational goal?
A website for personal reasons would highlight pictures you want to share with friends or relatives. Perhaps you're a budding poet and would like to see how well your poetry is received. Make sure you include a place for your readers to make their comments.
A business website needs to be cutting edge and professional looking. Is your product line from a reliable source and your business practices are beyond reproach? This will help guarantee success.
An educational website should focus on an area of education you'd like to highlight. The featured picture, Rainbow Nursery, is a website showing a successful pre-school. Perhaps you'd like to provide advice for parents, games for kids, or videos on science or history. Whatever you decide, make sure it's colorful, organized, and kid/parent friendly.
Whatever you decide is the purpose of your website, first you'll need to plan it out meticulously.
Prior to building the author website, Books by Michael Thal, a plan needed to be put into place. Since the website is a business site promoting the books of a specific author, the website builder planned for six separate pages. The first page introduces the author, three pages promote his books, while another page announces events like a guest slot on a talk radio show, a book launch party, and an appearance at the Orange County Children's Book Festival. Finally, one page is set aside for a blog where he writes about educational issues and parenting. On the pages promoting his books, the author includes the book covers of each of his YA novels, a blurb about the books, a book trailer, and reviews.
Once your website is planned, register a domain name. Research in any search engine, like Google or Yahoo, which will provide domain name registration sites. Register.com and GoDaddy.com are two recommended sites.
Next, make sure the domain name matches the idea you have for your web page. For example, if you're developing an educational website showing the disadvantages of corporal punishment, create a domain name like nocorporalpunishment.com or dontsmackyourkids.edu. If the domain name is available, you'll be told immediately by the registration website. If it is taken, create a new one.
If you go to a website builder like Web.com you will be charged a minimum of $1.95 per month. On GoDaddy.com, they are running a special for a new .com for $2.99 for the first year. Shop around until you find what you're looking for.
Web Hosting
Most web hosting companies will also make sure you obtain the domain name. These companies manage the server on which your web page is located. Some possible companies include GoDaddy.com, Web.com, and Networksolutions.com. There are also a few free services like Weebly.com, AwardSpace.com, and 888webhost.com.
Once you have decided on a host company, return to the outline you originally developed. Flesh it out and save on a word or text document. When all your pages are ready, go back to the host server, select a suitable template that serves your purposes, then cut, paste, and publish.
You don't need an engineering degree in computer science to develop a web page. All you need is a willingness to learn and a platform to show off your ideas. If you have the patience and devote the time needed to make your website as professional as possible, you are ready to show the world a bit of your talent.
Good luck,
LA Teacher

Hi all,
I carry a 1911 for self defense and was considering switching to this ammo for my ccw needs ( I carry corbon in the 165gr +p load now and recoil is NOT a issue for me). The 1911 has a 3.5" barrel & is the reason I am currently carrying the165 gr loading, I'm trying to keep the velocity up since the barrel is on the shorter side. Would there be any plus for me to switch to either of the above rounds for self defense carry over the corbon 165gr +P hollow point I'm carrying now.
If you do indeed think I'm better off with one of the above federal rounds, please let me know which of the two you would consider being the better round to go with and why, I'm also wondering what would make one round better than the other & why ( Bonded vs. Tactical )

Ever wonder how artists conceptualize a painting? Or how filmmakers visualize a scene in such entirety that it seems to flow with seamless transition? Maybe you've been struck by a story and wondered where they dreamed up their idea? Artwork: Seeing Inside the Creative Process ($25) gives us a chance to step inside the minds (and notes!) of some of our most creative designers, artists, writers, and filmmakers. We think this might actually help us begin that book/painting/fashion line we've been dreaming about doing but have been too paralyzed to start.

Having moved back to my home state of Alabama 18 months ago, I've caught Tim Tebow's act many, many times.
His exploits in a University of Florida uniform are already the stuff legend is made of and, whether you like him or not, the guy is a winner.
Which brings me to the inferno of uproar being fanned by national sports talk show hosts from coast to coast about why the Denver Bronco's inexplicably plucked the ex-Gators quarterback with the 25th overall pick in last month's NFL draft.
To put it simply, Tebow is the anti-loudmouth, end-zone celebrating athlete that so many pure sports fans have grown to detest.
A lot of modern-day athletes will tell you that Hall of Famers like Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, John Elway and Emmitt Smith are past history. And that they … this new brash breed … are what's happening now.
But what we remember about all those former greats is that they let their play on the field do the talking. And the only "taunts" they gave their opponent was a quick stare that let them know who was really "the man."
They didn't do The Worm in the end zone or practice celebrations in front of their bedroom mirrors the night before the game.
Sadly and whether people really want to say it or not, this new breed of athlete many think is killing the game are so often young black men suddenly turned millionaires, who flaunt their new-found riches in jewelry, cars and trouble.
Which brings me back to Tebow.
He epitomizes the kind of athlete a lot of folks want to see.
I personally have a problem with the way he 'publicly" gets in his teammate's faces "on the field" when they make a mistake, because the unwritten sports rule says you take that stuff to the sidelines and not air it in front of 75,000 fans and a national television audience.
But, again, you can't argue the fire that burns in this guy, and so many people will explain his in-your-face style as a "passion to win," or just his high-strung nature as an athlete.
The impassioned, near tearful "we'll be back" speech he gave to the media after a home loss to Ole Miss in 2008 … a speech the team used to propel them on to the national championship … is captured on a plaque outside UF's athletic building for all to forever see.
I heard an interview Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis gave recently, saying: "When Kentucky quarterback Andre Woodson came out of college a few years ago, he had the same hitch in his throwing motion that Tebow has and nobody helped him."
It was an obvious reference to the multitude of people who've come forward, most notably ex-NFL coach turned ESPN analyst John Gruden, to take Tebow under their wings this off-season and help him correct the time-consuming inefficiency in his passing motion.
Like it or not, you can't argue with what Lewis is saying or the obvious inference to race he's making.
But … and this is a big but … Andre Woodson doesn't represent what Tebow does. He also doesn't have a Heisman Trophy sitting in his house.
People get so offended whenever the race card is played in America, and I'm getting sick of it because … like it or not … race has a lot to do with this country.
It's at the very foundation of America's history, and should be taught in schools so young kids coming up know its origin and how to deal with it peacefully … if that's possible.
To think race will go away if you just don't talk about it is, well, pretty stupid.
Just like it's stupid if you don't think the bulk of sports fans in this country want to see more guys like Tebow playing the game … a guy who puts team first and lets all the accolades coming his way for that attitude fall where they may.
I had the pleasure of covering Barry Sanders in Detroit, when he thrilled fans for years with his low-key attitude and "team first" mentality while playing on crappy teams.
And if ever there was a player who deserved to dance in the end zone after a score it was Barry … especially after all the magician-like "now you see him, where did he go "stuff he pulled on the field.
I asked him once why he never danced when he scored, but simply threw the ball back to the ref and went to the sidelines. He looked at me kind of confused and dryly said: "Because the play was over."
Yes, the Broncos are betting a lot that Tebow can bring some of his magic back to a team who still remembers the legendary games of that guy who wore "number 7."
But more importantly to them, they're bringing in a guy who … like it or not … has an "old school" knack for playing the game the way a lot of folks think it should be played.
With actions, not dance moves.

Bronzers are not just for the face and eyes anymore! This high fashion cosmetic accessory has become the perfect finishing touch for any skin complexion, giving you that sun-kissed all over shimmering glow, from your head to your toe!
Bronzing highlights adds a bright and fun glimmer to your appearance, and provides a healthier, richer look to your skin's surface. It is ideal for women with pale skin types to use to enhance the vibrancy of their skin; however, bronzers work for anyone who wants to add a little shimmer to their skin tone. Bronzers, which have been used in Hollywood for years, are fast becoming a must-have item for women who want a little something extra to capture attention. These products are sold as a powder, liquid, cream and gel, so there is a formula designed just right for everyone.
There are all different types of bronzer shades to choose from, so there is freedom in choosing how light or dark you want your skin, and they generally blend very well. Prior to using any type of bronzer, it is advisable to properly exfoliate the skin in the bath or shower, to ensure a smooth surface and sufficient removal of dead skin. Also, if applying a cream, liquid or gel, be sure to allow time for the product to dry completely before getting dressed to avoid staining your garments.
Apply bronzer to your favorite exposed feature, such as your shoulders or bust-line and you are guaranteed to get noticed. Don't forget to powder your cheeks and nose to give your face an unbelievable glow!

Let $X$ be a Hausdorff, locally connected and locally compact space. Let $U$ be a connected subset of $X$ and let $x,y \in U$. Prove there exists a compact connected subset $T$ of $U$ such that $T$ contains both $x,y$.
Well I tried using regularity and local compactness but didn't get far. Any ideas?

Hot answers tagged grinding
If you're grinding a small amount of grain for a partial mash or speciality grain additions to an extract brew, you could use a Corona mill. They don't provide a particularly good crush, and your efficiency will suffer, but if the bulk your fermentables comes from extract, it won't matter too much. And it'll be miles better than a food processor. You can ...
You have to grind the malted rye to expose the endosperm for gelatinization and conversion. Flaked rye has already been gelatinized and can be added to the mash without any pre-processing. The rye kernel is smaller than barley. I've found that it's best to tighten up your mill a bit to give a good crush.
The best way to do it is with a grain mill. By buying in bulk, you can use the savings to amortize the cost of a mill pretty quickly. If you have a friend who also brews, you can go in together on a mill to cut the cost. The ease of use and increased efficiency from a proper crush will make you glad you got the right tool for the job.
Most likely, if it doesn't smell foul everything will be fine. I think for the most part, any lactic acid produced will primarily help to keep your mash pH a little lower (possibly buffering any salts you might add, and possibly helping to aid mash efficiency). If you wind up tasting something off, you'll know what it was that caused it and know that ...
A grain mill is definitely recommended over using a food processor - you want to actually crush the grain rather than chop it up. Crushing the grain breaks up the endosperm to provide a greater surface area, improving efficiency, but without producing excessive amounts of flour. A grain mill, particularly the 3 roller type, doesn't tear up the husks, but ...
If you are stuck without a mill, try using a rolling pin, instead of a food processor. The rolling pin should at least crack the grain open. You might try crushing grain on top of a thin towel. The towel will stop the grain from rolling around while you try to crush it. It will take you a very long time to crush a "full mash" worth of grain using the rolling ...

Football is one of those sports that for me, the season seems to last forever. For others, it doesn't last long enough. For Chargers fans specifically, either of the two sentiments can be felt during any given football season. This Sunday, San Diego faithful football fans can't wait (or quite believe) that the Bolts have made it to the playoffs. They continue their quest to the Super Bowl with a game against the Broncos on Sunday, January 12.
Football fans will gather 'round in a frenzy of chicken wings and cold beers hoping to see the Chargers take it one step further this weekend. It's a good thing some of San Diego's restaurants have hopped aboard the bandwagon and are offering some delicious menu items to please any crowd.
The game will be televised on the 16 flat screen tvs downtown at The Commons Bar. Their signature Football Sunday Brunch menu will keep you fueled throughout the day. It includes menu options such as a eggs, sausage, tater tots, bacon, and shredded cheese breakfast burrito and a Southern Bowl made with three homemade biscuits, three breaded chicken strips, and eggs all topped with homemade sausage gravy. Bloody Marys and $10 bottles of champagne are also available on game day or choose from their extensive list of craft beer.
Game Day Specials at Ciro's Pizzeria and Beerhouse, recently undergoing renovation, in the Gaslamp Quarter includes football-themed deals for fans to enjoy while watching their team on the tv screens. The 1st Down gets you two gourmet pizzas and six knots for $25; the 2nd Down is one 18" pizza, 6 knots and choices of two appetizers for $40; and the 3rd Down gets you two 18" pizzas, 12 knots and choice of 4 appetizers for $80. Any way you slice it, sounds like a party to me.
If you are in La Jolla, head over to Beaumont's Eatery where you can enjoy a craft cocktail or one of the ten California beers that are on tap daily. You won't find your average game day eats, but the fare is tasty with a bit of a gourmet twist including the Short Dip, Pork Belly Street Tacos, or Wild Boar Sausage Flatbread. Beaumont Eatery is also home to Chef Morris' Le Beast! Burger which is a ½ lb. wild boar, elk and bison blended patty topped with smoked chili marmalade, beer battered onion rings, and cambozola served on a pretzel bun.
Two of San Diego's finest hotels provide some unexpected game day watch party options. Redfield's Sports Bar at Manchester Grand Hyatt has billiards and darts to pass the time during commercials and a menu of munchies including prime rib sliders and loaded nachos. They offer a full bar so you can get your Sunday Bloody Mary fix as well. The Sports Bar a.k.a. The Bar at Rancho Bernardo Inn is good for both guests and locals to enjoy their signature RBI cheeseburger or braised short rib quesadillas while cheering on the Chargers to bring home the win.
