It's that time of year again, time to pick garlic mustard. Keep in mind, if you are out and about on the trails, pick garlic mustard. Whether picked to add to the pantry or the garbage container, please pick what you can. Garlic mustard, a nuisance weed which has proliferated in this area is the only plant legal to pick in public parks. Garlic mustard grows so fast and thick that it reduces the native plant populations, especially wildflowers.
April 27: 1-3 p.m. Prophetstown State Park, east end parking lot. Garlic mustard pull. The gate fee is waived for volunteers for this pull (link).
April 27: 1-3 p.m. Heartland Outdoor Kids will meet at Moyer Gould Woods in Carroll County (link). This is great family opportunity. Moyer Gould Woods includes old farm land and some pristine woods overlooking the Tippecanoe River.
Out and about
April 25-27: Brown County Wildflower Foray. Head down to Nashville for this wildflower weekend. Follow the pre-arranged hikes or head out on your own (link).

Should Swiss Franc Be Pegged to Euro to Halt Its Relentless Rise?
Calls by some Swiss politicians, industry groups and labor unions for the country's central bank to check the relentlessly rising franc by pegging it to the euro at a fixed rate has gone down like a lead balloon with those who stand to lose the most by such a proposal.
Namely policy makers at the Swiss National Bank, since such a move would mean them surrendering the reins of monetary control to their counterparts at the European Central Bank in Frankfurt, and so maneuvering themselves out of prestigious, if at times stressful, jobs.
And of course Switzerland isn't even a member of the European Union, with the idea of joining its neighbor's club being rejected at previous national referendums.
The idea of a franc-euro peg has been floated in recent weeks as the so-called Swissie soared to all-time highs against the currency of its biggest export market.
The SNB tried in vain to check the franc's appreciation, intervening between March 2009 and June last year by buying up huge amounts of euros, which then continued to slide in value, leaving the SNB with a 19 billion-Swiss-franc book loss last year.
This drew considerable flak from the Swiss public for throwing good money after bad.
But the inability of the European politicians and monetary authorities to find a credible solution to the long-running debt crisis, which is the prime reason for nervous investors to seek shelter in the franc, has left the SNB a helpless onlooker.
SNB vice chairman Thomas Jordan Wednesday acknowledged the importance of finding a sustainable solution to the euro-zone fiscal woes, and also conceded that should the disease now afflicting Greece, Ireland and Portugal be caught by Italy, then the Swiss economy could be in trouble as well.
Mr. Jordan however also pointed out that a franc-euro peg would mean Switzerland giving up its interest-rate advantage –its key rate at 0.25% compares with a euro-zone rate of 1.5%– and that such a move would be unconstitutional.
The liberal Swiss business lobby Economiesuisse doesn't rate the idea either, pointing out that if Switzerland didn't want to surrender its monetary autonomy, it would have to introduce capital controls in order to fix the franc's value.
"Such controls would undermine investor confidence in the Swiss financial centre and cause huge problems for Swiss multi-national companies," said Economiesuisse economist Rudolf Minsch.
Even a temporary peg would be foolhardy, as it would attract massive speculative currency flows, and require heavy buying of euros to defend.
"At the end of the day the price of a peg could be inflation," Mr. Minsch said.
And the prime policy goal of the SNB is: to maintain Swiss price stability.

Dry September
by William Faulkner
Analysis: Steaminess Rating
Exactly how steamy is this story?
There isn't any actual sex in this story, but the main action is driven by a rumor that Will Mayes has raped or otherwise sexually abused Minnie Cooper. The text strongly suggests that Minnie is sexually repressed, and that she may have started the rumor to get attention. While not explicitly shown, sex drives the tragic plot of "Dry September." Readers and teachers should prepare for serious thinking and discussion of sex, sexuality, rape, sexual abuse, and spousal abuse when approaching this story.

Fertilizers & Nutrients
Plants need sun, water and nutrients to grow. Many of the nutrients plants need are found in the soil and air. When there's an ample amount of nutrients in the soil, plants grow and produce, but if even one nutrient is low, plants are less likely to grow and produce less. Fertilizers are made from nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium – all elements found in nature – help rebalance the nutrients in soil, foster crop growth, and ultimately help farming families keep our state growing healthy.

This is the latest version of "Adams: A Family Album" completed November, 2010. It's primarily a compilation of hundreds of priceless old family photos dating to the late 1800s. In an effort to bring the subjects to life for the viewer, I've incorporated a brief history of my Adams lineage that covers many of the photo's subjects as well as early Adams dating back to the 1600s. I also included a comprehensive family tree that records 12 generations of Adams. I concluded the book with maps (showing the route traveled by early ancestors), information on the final resting place of several primary family members, and images of several old documents (wills, mortgages, etc.).
This book is very comprehensive in regards to my family history but, without a doubt, it will be a life-long project. As I acquire more documents, information and photos the book will be updated. For more information you're welcome to visit my family web site at www.clydeadams.com/adams_family_website/
with over 30 years of experience as a graphic artist, my work has covered the gamut; from logo design to annual report production and everything in between. over the years my clientele has varied; i've designed marketing material for hospitals, fund raising packages for charities, and technical publications for government agencies. my recent, somewhat accidental entry into the world of blurb has been an exciting sidebar in my career. my goal is to avoid the cookie-cutter approach to book design and provide clients with designs worthy of their photos and stories. i offer full book layout or just cover design. for more information visit my website or contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Highland Oaks undefeated in season
caines | 5/30/2013, 5:30 a.m.
Stopped in playoff semifinals Sports is a big way of getting young people involved in positive activities, even at the middle school level. Perhaps thats why there was such a buzz recently when the boys basketball team at Highland Oaks Middle School completed the regular season undefeated at 9-0. According to Head Coach Donovan Carter, 29, this years team was extremely talented and worked hard to make it through the season without a loss. We started the season in March and were playing two games a week, he said. As the season continued we really started to jell and felt pretty good about our chances of winning the championship. The Panthers had to beat Carol City in order to clinch a bye going into the playoffs. Next up was Hialeah Miami Gardens whom they defeated. But the shots failed to fall in their favor in their semi-final loss to Miami Coral Springs. Yes the boys were disappointed but they made a great run this year and were very proud of them, Carter added. Carter has been with the team for three years and is a former Navy medic with a background in sports medicine. He was assisted this year by Assistant Coach Daniella Desilva. What about next year? Well Carters not sure if hell be back at the helm or not. He hopes to move up to high school coaching and is being courted by several local teams for a junior varsity coaching position. But the Panthers will be back next year hopefully with a championship trophy. By D. Kevin firstname.lastname@example.com

Fête De La Musique 2012
Midsummer. Most children growing up in Berlin will probably never even know what that word means. They will think: "Summer, oh, that's just another word for autumn, right?", because that's damn straight what it feels like. But once upon a time, even Berlin encountered heat waves. Even I have spent days in the city with my skin melting off my bones. I would worship every second of it if it happened again.
Of course, summer will return – someday. Probably in October. I don't mind as long as it does. In the meantime, Fête de La Musique, the annual midsummer festival that is celebrated all across the world, was taken here with a little ironic twist. Rain and windy weather made it quite difficult to enjoy the Open Airs, but then again: we're born to party. We've had worse than this. Let's not dwell on it (but yes, let's dwell on it, I will not stop until summer returns with full force. I will also not stop complaining about it in every post until it happens. I'm a grumpy person and I need sunlight for my pale skin).
Like the Carnival of Cultures or the First of May, the Fête de La Musique festivities are free and for everyone to enjoy, but they are naturally of a different quality. Since it's always on the 21st of June – in my experience usually work days – the extend of the parties can range from two hours to two days. So we've made it a ritual not to be too stressed out or eager to find the perfect place to rave. Sometimes it just happens, that's cool. Yesterday was more like an interesting stroll through Kreuzberg, a major excuse to listen to some great music by Robot Koch and Jahcoozie at our favorite spot on Cuvry Straße by the Spree and to go down on Kreuzbergs best chicken at Hühnerhaus. It always comes down to the same thing: we love our neighborhood and we will definitely not move away from here, not even if there's a cute little apartment in the Schillerkiez available. Right? Right.
Hippie Hipsters
Great photos, really captured everything yesterday… Robot Koch & Jahcoozi – definitely the highlight for me as well!
was für ne bekackte einleitung.
Ich finds gut und schöne Fotos mal wieder

Krass, wie sehr Berlin* gerade im Timetunnel der 80er-Jahre drin zu stecken scheint. O_o Zurück in die Zukunft ganz ohne Fluxkompensator.
Sehr schöne Bilder, wie immer!
(*) oder Teil davon; einen repräsentativen Anspruch wird die Photoserie über Fête De La Musique in Kreuzberg auch kaum für sich beanspruchen wollen
nice pictures!!!
Hey, vielen Dank für die coolen Bilder!

Andrew MacDougall of the Boston Globe has a feature story on UMass running back Jamal Wilson who is in the mix to be the Minutemen's starter for next weekend's season-opener against Boston College at Gillette Stadium. Wilson earned his way as the starting tailback last year before suffering injuries down the stretch which limited his play. The Minutemen figure to have a deep and experienced backfield this year with four different players having started games during their careers.
Daily Collegian: Former @UMassFootball star Marcel Shipp overseeing a strong running back competition
Mark Chiarelli of the Daily Collegian has a story focused on all-time great Marcel Shipp who is now coaching the running backs which is a group that could potentially be one of the deepest in terms of talent this year. Shipp gives his thoughts on Coach Whipple's offense, while Jamal Wilson and Lorenzo Woodley speak to being coached by one of the greatest players in UMass history.
The defense looked impressive throughout the night turning in several highlight plays, but wide receivers Jalen Williams and Shakur Nesmith each put on displays for the offense with several outstanding plays of their own as Team Minutemen defeated Team UMass in the annual Spring Game on Wednesday night at McGuirk Stadium.

Besigye urges youth to join fight against bad governance
Posted Thursday, April 3 2014 at 18:48
Former Forum for Democratic Change president Kizza Besigye has asked the youth and the elite to join the struggle against the militarisation of politics in the country, saying it has caused power imbalance.
Speaking at a public lecture organised by Uganda Martyrs University, Nkozi in Mpigi District on Wednesday, Dr Besigye said imbalance of power had frustrated efforts towards democratic transition through free and fair elections.
He said citizens and their leaders had been greatly disempowered.
"They are not allowed to organise or to assemble together to discuss the affairs of their country. They have no access to information and whenever they try to do so, they get arrested," Dr Besigye said.
He made the remarks in response to Prof Albert Luswata of Uganda Martyrs, who wanted to know efforts made by the Opposition to attract the elite to join the struggle in the fight against bad governance.
Dr Besigye claimed the NRM government uses the nation's weapons to silence the majority of citizens and deny them their right to demand for democratic change.
He urged Ugandans to mobilise themselves and be defiant to the bad acts of the police.

Living With Depression/Medication
- A Note on Anti-depressants
Prescribing anti-depressant medication is one of the main ways that doctors treat depression. The use of anti-depressants can be controversial. As with all issues related to your health, it's important to educate yourself. Read as much as you can and don't be afraid to ask your doctor any questions. If you are taking anti-depressants, it's important to be aware of the side effects they may have on you. When you are prescribed a new medication, always take the opportunity to talk to your doctor. Ask them any questions about any possible side effects or how long it should take before you will feel different. Read the information provided with the drug. Report any unexpected or distressing side effects to your doctor.
If you decide you want to stop taking anti-depressants, talk to your doctor first. Your decisions may be affected by your mood. Also, some anti-depressants can have severe side effects if you stop them abruptly.

Shasta County has demanded that land and restaurant owner Reverge Anselmo tear down a $65,000 wall and guard shack on Inwood Road in front of a chapel on his property.
Although Anselmo said it is just another case of the county selectively enforcing laws against him, the county says the wall removal is a matter of public safety because its placement is a traffic hazard.
Anselmo built the wall where a barbed wire fence had been, but Shasta County Public Works Director Pat Minturn argues that a barbed wire fence and a solid wall are two different things.
According to the county, Anselmo put the driveway to the chapel, which he built without a permit, too close to a curve on a road where the unposted speed limit is 55 miles per hour.
Everyone agrees that the wall encroaches on county land, however, how far the wall encroaches is up for debate.
Minturn said it is not so much that all or part of the wall was built on county land – it is that it is a safety issue.
Anselmo said the survey of the land was done under false pretenses when he spoke with Minturn to widen a bridge elsewhere on his property.
Minturn told us that it was Anselmo's own representative who told the county about the wall's encroachment last month, leading them to investigate the safety problem.
Anselmo has until June 15 to remove the wall or appeal.
County Counsel Rubin Cruse said if the wall is not taken down, the county could knock down the wall and bill Anselmo for it or get a court order forcing him to do it.
Anselmo said that if the wall is torn down, he plans on building an even bigger wall to replace it.

On the right you can see the books I've published, and I've also tech-edited a number of books including Peter Krogh's The DAM Book.
If you're a publisher checking me out for a writing project, I can take on anything involving these programs which I use daily:
- Image editing – Photoshop – Lightroom – Aperture – Nikon Capture – Capture One
- DAM – iView / Expression Media / MediaPro – Extensis Portfolio – Bridge
- Web design – Dreamweaver – Fireworks – WordPress
- Mobile – Adobe DPS
While I list programs where I've plenty of experience, that's not always necessary – it is just as important to understand what the typical reader would seek to accomplish. In fact, in one case (I won't say which) I received a commission to write a book without ever having seen the program which was its subject – and began writing the book too. My wider experience allowed me to discover, and convey, what the reader would need to learn.

After viewing the Spring 2014 Fendi shoes and bags, I have been obsessing over everything and anything Fendi. Naturally, I started to search for Fendi shoes available for sale right now, and as soon as I found the Fendi Perforated Leather and Suede Boots, I have been coveting them. The high amount of intricate detailing, a speciality among the Fendi artisans, is finished impeccably.
This Fendi boot has a little bit of everything mixed into one. We have the studded ankle strap, the perforated leather upper, the a deep-V opening that is outlined with a suede cut-out, and, my personal favorite, the honeycomb cage pewter heel. What makes this shoe successful is how it is all designed in a very subtle way – the all-black colorway balances everything nice. If this shoe was designed with different color leathers, I don't think we would be swooning as much as we are right now.
Try them on at Net-A-Porter for $1,395.

Miss Glick makes the point that the destruction of Israel is a key requirement by the Left for the triumph of Socialism just as the jihad against Israel is the spear head in the global movement to create the Caliphate. As we celebrate the week of Passover, let us never forget that the eternal liberation movement is that of the Jews.
by Caroline Glick
Hamas terror boss Fathi Hamad is a notable figure. Hamad is both the director of Hamas's al-Aksa television station and the terror group's "minister" of the interior and national security. His double portfolio is a clear expression of the much ignored fact that for terrorists, propaganda is inseparable from violence.
On March 23, Hamad was interviewed by Egypt's Al Hekma television station. The interview was translated by MEMRI.
Hamad made two central points. First, he claimed that the Palestinian war against Israel is the keystone of the global jihad. Second, he said the Palestinians are not a distinct people, but transplanted Egyptians and Saudis.
In his words, "At al-Aksa and on the land of Palestine, all the conspiracies, throughout history, have been shattered – the conspiracies of the Crusaders, and the conspiracies of the Tatars. At al- Aksa and on the land of Palestine, the Battle of Hattin was waged. The [West] does not want this noble history to repeat itself, because the Jews and their allies would be annihilated – the Zionists, the Americans and the imperialists.
Hamad next explained, "Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, [Egyptians] whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians."
What Hamad's interview tells us is that today Hamas – the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood – is more interested in unity with Muslim Brotherhood-dominated Egypt than with Fatah. Whereas in the past it joined Fatah in obscuring the direct link between the jihad against the Jews and the jihad against the non-Muslim world, today it seeks to emphasize the connection. To this end, Hamas is willing to abandon the myth of Palestinian nativism and acknowledge that the Palestinians are an artificial people, invented for the purpose of advancing the global jihad in the key battlefield of Israel.
Hamad's statements underscore a widespread sentiment among Israelis about the revolutions now tearing apart the Arab world. That sentiment is that while the results of these revolutions will be catastrophic in the medium and long term, in the short term they bring respite to Israel. With Arab regimes – new and old – struggling to consolidate power, they have little time or energy to devote to their war against Israel.
Unfortunately for Israel, while the Arab world is increasingly uninterested in the Palestinian war against Israel, Europe and the American Left are more than happy to pick up the slack.
Consider two recent events. First, two weeks ago the UN Human Rights Council voted to launch a commission whose goal is to criminalize Israel for the existence of Israeli communities beyond the 1949 armistice lines.
The council's decision to form a new kangaroo court to criminalize Israel was not the result of the Arab diplomatic war against Israel. It is the consequence of the European diplomatic war against Israel. It is Europe, not the Arabs that has barred Israel from caucusing with its UN regional group – the Western European and Others Group. By barring Israel from the caucus, the Europeans have denied Israel the ability to make its case to other UN member nations.
For its part, the Obama administration pays lip service to the need to end the Human Rights Council's obsessive war against Israel. But at the same time, it has effectively joined that war by legitimizing the anti-Israel council both by joining it, and by refusing to use its membership as leverage to coerce the council into abandoning its campaign against Israel.
Then there was last Friday's Global March to Jerusalem, in which a consortium of protesters organized by Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran and the international Left intended to storm Israel's borders and fill the state with hostile foreigners.
As Ribhi Halloum, the coordinator of the march said last year, the goal of the GMJ was "to move the right of return possessed by Palestinian refugees from theory to practice."
In a press conference in Amman days ahead of the operation, Halloum said that organizers expected for two million people to mass at Israel's borders and attempt to breach them.
In the end, the GMJ failed to mount its planned invasion. The sum total of the day's events amounted to several violent local demonstrations by Palestinians in Judea and Samaria joined by foreign and Israeli leftists. Israel's borders were not breached.
The GMJ's failure to achieve its aims owed to the same pan-Arab distraction that Hamad tried to address in his interview with Egyptian television.
But while the Syrians, Egyptians, Jordanians and Lebanese have more urgent business to attend to, the international Left has intensified its own campaign against Israel.
Leading anti-Israel, (and anti-Jewish) leftists including George Galloway, Desmond Tutu, Mairead Maguire, Noam Chomsky, Jeremiah Wright, Cindy Sheehan and Medea Benjamin served as members of the GMJ's various organizing committees. These self-proclaimed human rights activists had no problem with the fact that the Iranian regime took a central role in organizing the operation or that the clear goal of the campaign's Muslim organizers is the destruction of Israel.
To the contrary, this goal is now openly shared by growing numbers of Western leftists. In an op-ed on the Guardian's online opinion forum, Sarah Colborne, a member of the GMJ's organizing committees and its national coordinator for the UK as well as the director of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign in the UK wrote, "The struggle for Palestinian rights is at the core of the global movement for social and economic justice."
Judith Butler, one of Colborne's American counterparts, has opined that "understanding Hamas, Hezbollah as social movements that are progressive, that are on the Left, that are part of a global Left, is extremely important."
So just as Hamas's Hamad claims that the jihad on Israel is the key campaign of the global jihad, Hamad's Western partners claim that destroying Israel is the key to the Left's campaign for socialism.
Disturbingly, the international Left is receiving indirect support for its goal of destroying Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem, (and through it, destroying Israel), from the US government. Just days before the GMJ failed to unravel Israel's physical control over Jerusalem, in a jaw-dropping exchange between State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland and AP reporter Matthew Lee, Nuland refused to say that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.
The US has always been deeply hostile to Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem. Beginning in 1950 the State Department directed US diplomats to discourage other governments from establishing their embassies in Jerusalem. But while the US has always undermined its own alliance with Israel by aligning its policy on Jerusalem with Israel's worst enemies, under President Barack Obama, the US's willingness to express this hostility has been unprecedented.
This hostility has been demonstrated most famously by Obama's demand that the government stop respecting Jewish property rights in the city.
It has also been given graphic expression by the administration's decision to move the Consular Section of the US Consulate in Jerusalem from an Arab neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem to the site that Israel allocated for a new US embassy.
The site is located in the Jewish Arnona neighborhood in western Jerusalem.
Israel allocated the land to a future US Embassy after Congress passed the US Embassy Act in 1995 which obligated the US government to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The site was chosen, among other reasons, because its location in western Jerusalem put it outside the dispute regarding whether or not Israel will retain sovereignty over eastern, southern and northern Jerusalem in a hypothetical peace treaty with the Palestinians. The US government uses the non-resolution of the Palestinian conflict with Israel as its justification for refusing to accept Jewish property rights in those areas of the city.
The US Consulate in Jerusalem is not subordinate to the US Embassy in Tel Aviv. It presents itself as the unofficial US embassy to the non-existent state of Palestine. By utilizing the site in western Jerusalem allocated for a future embassy as an extension office of the consulate, the Obama administration made clear its rejection of Israel's right to sovereignty over all of Jerusalem. And in light of the US law that recognizes Jerusalem as Israel's capital and orders the government to relocate the embassy to Jerusalem, the Obama administration not only indirectly legitimized the cause of those who seek the destruction of Israel.
It did so in contempt of US law.
In truth, there is nothing new about the West's rejection of Israel's right to sovereignty or even to its support and sponsorship for the Arab war for the destruction of Israel. Such animosity predates not only the 1967 Six Day War. It predates the establishment of Israel.
British Col. Richard Meinertzhagen, who served as an intelligence officer in wartime and post-World War I Mandatory Palestine, made this point clearly in his memoir Middle East Diary.
Meinertzhagen wrote that the first Arab terror assaults on Jews under the British military government were instigated by the British military. Just before Easter in 1920, British military authorities contacted future Nazi agent Haj Amin el Husseini and encouraged him to attack the Jews of Jerusalem.
They told him, "He had a great opportunity at Easter to show the world that the Arabs of Palestine would not tolerate Jewish domination in Palestine… and if disturbances of sufficient violence occurred in Jerusalem at Easter, [the British High Commanders] would advocate the abandonment of the Jewish home."
Today, the Jewish people begin their week-long celebration of Passover, the Jewish festival of freedom. This evening we will read in the Haggada that our fight for freedom is an eternal struggle.
When we assess the global nature of the current assault on Jewish freedom and sovereignty in our country, we see the truth of that message.
While our present circumstances give us much to celebrate, the work of Jewish liberation is far from over.
Read the rest – The eternal liberation movement
It seems that Mitt Romney and Benjamin Netanyahu once worked for the same organization.
One of the things to think about in respect the current political campaign is the impact that would be felt were the president of America and the prime minister of Israel on the same page. We were put in mind of this by Michael Barbaro's illuminating dispatch in today's New York Times, describing the friendship that sprang up in the late 1970s between Benjamin Netanyahu and Mitt Romney. At the time the future prime minister of Israel and the future front runner for the Republican nomination for president were both working for the same company, the Boston Consulting Group, and honing their analytical abilities in the same weekly brainstorming sessions, "absorbing," Mr. Barbaro reports, "the same profoundly analytical view of the world."
We will never forget how America's relationship with Israel descended into acrimony during the latter years of President Clinton's administration. That was when Secretary Albright was hectoring the new premier in Jerusalem, Mr. Netanyahu, over the so-called peace process. It wasn't, at least not then, a problem of the Democratic Party. We also watched President Reagan's near magical relationship with Israel fall off during the accession of George H.W. Bush as the 41st president. That was the period of feuding over loan guarantees that America was giving to enable the Jewish state to build the housing it needed, partly because so many thousands of Jews were fleeing the Soviet Union.
We didn't see a return to relationship that was both warm and successful until the rise, here, of President Bush's son, George W. Bush, and, in Israel, of Ariel Sharon. The two had bonded when the former defense minister of Israel gave the future American president a tour of the Samarian hills, from which the logic of Israel's strategic choices becomes so clear. Under the leadership of George W. Bush and Ariel Sharon, the acrimony disappeared from the relations between the two governments. No doubt this was helped by the degree to which their common interests became so evident in the war on Islamist terror.
That President Obama permitted that warmth to evaporate is one of the errors of his presidency. We would not say that there has been no working relationship, but the political warmth has gone. Instead we have had a roller-coaster of ups and downs in the two administrations, even while both sides have protested that everything is in fine shape. The tension between the two has loosed a cataract of leaks on what might, or might not, be the plan for Iran. It has returned us to the days when the secretary of state — in this case Mrs. Clinton — exhibits an Albrightian disdain for the way the Israelis are handling what is left of the peace process.
We would not want to suggest that relations between any two countries, leastwise those between Israel and America, are merely a matter of personalities. Relations are ultimately governed by national interest. But neither would we want to suggest that leadership doesn't matter. We learned this in, among other moments, the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Golda Meir's envoy in Washington, Yitzhak Rabin, swung behind President Nixon. This helped sideline the peace plan hatched in the state department and advanced by Secretary of State Rogers. The plan was recognized as short-sighted by Henry Kissinger, who encouraged Mr. Rabin not to blame, indeed to appreciate, President Nixon. Rabin's sagacity led to the breakthrough understanding that Republicans could be the party more sympathetic to Israel.

I recently bought a micklem bridle for my horse. i was thinking exactly the same as you and took the risk. my horse is absolutley fantastic in it, hes so happy. after riding him in a grackle and dutch gag which ripped his mouth to pieces and being so young it made him a sharp ride in jump offs, he would flick his head up when turning. he is simply a different horse and i ride him now in the micklem and a eggbut snaffle. i have also found where i work in the past that the multibridle lunge caveson ring does rub the nose but it seemed to heal pretty quickly!
29 September 2011 14:39
hi i have just bought second bridle lge on first horse whosadly died sept now standard black on new horse.best thing iveever used when fitted properly pressure on nose before mouth.my 1st boywas in pelham and curb before using new bridle seemed happier from day one used with myler comfort snaffle.new horse same bridle and bit accepted from first time wearing it seems more relaxed nice broad area covers poll and sits away frm facial nerves.ideal to use as headcollar in lorry lunge then add bit to ride saves carrying to much stuff around i say go for it.
07 May 2011 23:16
hi i bought one but returned it after one use. The reason i returned it was that the lunge ring on the noseband caused rubbing on my horses face. The one time i did use it i didnt see any difference riding in the micklem bridle to riding in an ordinary bridle. i personally dont see any benefit to using one but maybe others have had differnt experiences. hope this helps!

In prep for DreamHack Kinc over at Nordic Hardware has been playing with a couple of GeForce 8800GTX cards in SLI and has already managed to pull a new 3DMark03 world record of 84,244 points, and thats with his Core 2 Extreme chip only running at 4GHz as well! - A few days ago Kinc also scored himself world record runs with 3DMark2001 and 2005. What a champ!
Kinc has spent the day warming up before DreamHack by testing his system with dual graphics cards, I.e. SLI. Earlier it's been single-card records, but this time it's all the way with dual cards. He has primarily focused on 3DMark 03 and then managed to reach 84,244 points, a new world record.

Comics Time: Trigger #1
Trigger #1
Mike Bertino, writer/artist
Revival House, April 2010
24 pages
Buy it from Revival House
They don't make 'em like this anymore. Time was, a fella could stand in the aisle of one of your better comic book shops and watch one-man staple-spined anthology series like what Mike Bertino's Trigger #1 augurs roam the countryside in huge horizon-spanning herds, from the halcyon days of Eightball and Optic Nerve to outliers like Rubber Necker and Uptight. Now, Buenaventura Press's quixotic damn-the-torpedoes efforts aside, the format is the provience of minicomics and micro-publishers. And bless 'em, because as seen here, it's a useful format.
Bertino puts himself through the paces with three comics done in three different tonal and artistic styles. First up there's a literary-fiction young-professional thing about a teacher's first day with a new class. You've got your white-guy class'n'race issues, the ominpresence of alcohol, and a sexual politics sideswipe--the material suggests Tomine, while the straightforward, oval-eyed art reads to me like part-Jessica Abel, part-Hope Larson. Then there's the funny middle section, which seems to use the fact that flannel is in again to tell a very '90s altcomix-style story about a drunken debacle in a dive bar. Shit jokes, cusswords, crude and emasculating romantic mishaps, an anthropomorphized unicorn named Buttface abound, the story unfolds with a charming well-paced "one bad night" logic, and Bertino flips his style around to a rubbery Johnny Ryan/John Kerschbaum kinda thing. Finally, in a story of the sort that would likely find the most purchase in other alternative-comics anthologies today, a young man comes to terms with his abuse-scarred past via a series of might-be-visions, might-be-hallucinations. Here the art is at its most delicate and loveliest, like a thinner-lined Gabrielle Bell or a sturdier Anders Nilsen; the visions are done in a melty Mat Brinkmany freakout mode, with flame effects that reminded me of Jesse Moynihan. As a bonus, there's the multicolored art-noise cover and equally messy/melty/monstrous/indecipherably fonted endpages, a sort of Providence-school cameo appearance.
Sandwiched together as they can only be in the solo anthology model, the disparate stories and styles provide a snapshot of Bertino's range of interests and abilities; moreover, the whole product takes on an invigoratingly restless feel, as reader and artist alike appear not to know which way he'll head with the next story. I suppose all the name-dropping above indicates that it comes across as a sort of greatest-hits package for the past decade and a half of alternative comics, and that it does, but I'm not complaining! After all, Bertino appears to know exactly which style to employ to achieve each of his desired effects, which is smart cartooning. Besides, the point of one of these one-man shows is to have room to explore, experiment, dabble, pastiche, parody, imitate, whatever, whether in service of a fully formed statement down the road or just for the love of the game.

Oh...I am so sorry for being a bad blogger! Not that you can't function just fine without my posts...haha. I just feel bad that I haven't got a single thing to blog about! Work work and more work. That's all it is. Nothing cool, nothing spectacularly wonderful.
Oh wait...but... school will be starting soon, and my last child is going to be in 1st grade!!!! DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS???
"nuff said."
Take er easy...

Thanks for your comments!
I have made a few changes to the print (scroll down to previous post), thanks to some of your constructive criticism! (You were all wonderful to comment, and I truly value your opinions!)
But then I went on a little getaway BY MYSELF...up to Midway, Utah. It's a lovely little hideaway called The Homestead, tucked away into the mountains. (The pictures of the flowers above are from the grounds.) It was established in 1886 or something like that, around a natural hot spring. I brought my computer and my tablet and tools, set them up in my room, and went at it.
I did it because I have been surrounded by family for weeks now, which is great, but hasn't helped much in the area of creativity! I just needed to concentrate for a couple of days, with no interruptions. It was really restful for me, and I got a LOT done. My husband made all of the arrangements for me, and took care of the kids. Can't tell you how much I needed that.
Well, one of the things I created was a new main print for this collection. I may still use the one you've seen, (new and improved) either as a companion print, or in another collection entirely. But I am going to keep most of this newest one a secret for now. (Here's a couple of snippets)
It was really interesting to see how well I work in a controlled environment. I found that I could work for 5 or 6 hours straight without so much as eating or using the bathroom! I would just put my music on and get into the ZONE.
I did take a 2 hour break once on day two and hit the pool with a good book. It was really hot, and the water was perfect. But then...back to work! (I love my job...couldn't be better suited to me.) Then I would take a long walk in the evening when it cooled down for an hour or so, and then back to work for a couple of hours before going to bed. It was wonderful! So peaceful! The moment I got home we had to pack up for a camping overnighter for my husband's mom's 80th birthday celebration. That's her in the green jacket. Isn't she adorable???
It was fun, too in a different way! I did the zipline a few times, tried out my archery skills, played some volleyball, (my favorite sport), and slept on the ground with all my kids (the ones that live at home.)
So now I'm back at home, and playing a little catch up...with housework and "work" work. But it's all good, and these times are what makes life worthwhile!
Hope you are enjoying yours, too!

New Colorway Happenings
This is the first of many to come, but I thought you might want to see what I've been up to. Designing fabric is fun, but I don't get much sleep. I was up till 4 last night, and 3:45 the night before that. It's the only time I can be alone with my thoughts and my sketchpad.
Here is a sneek peek of what I'm working on now. This is Fall, 2010. My deadline is fast approaching...hense the late nights!
Tell me what you think! (Even if you don't care for it!)
This is the main print for the group. It's bigger than it looks.
I'm trying to blend the two colorways together... I think it works so far...
Here it is in yellow and pink.
What do you think??

Cali to see Halle (again)
Babies in sunhats...why do I live in Utah???
(Natalie and Halle , Newport Beach, July 4th, 2009)
Well friends, It's good to be home, but it would have been great to have stayed a little longer! The beach at Malibu is still calling me, and I am left to close my eyes and pretend I'm still there. It was a wonderful, short trip to see my little Halle Rose! It's true she was here in Utah to visit me only a couple of weeks ago, but Grandmas can never get enough!
This is little Halle wearing the Santorini skirt I made for her. (She's also a sucker for jewelry...had to be wearing a necklace whenever possible.)
Kissing cousins?!? (How cute is that?) This is Halle and her little cousin Carson, sharing a smooch! Or is it Tyler? I could never tell, they are the most identical twins I have ever seen!
Girls having fun in the sun...Halle would run straight for the water. No fear at all. She would get knocked over by the waves, get completely submerged, and come up laughing and choking...not one bit scared. We had to watch her like a hawk!
Malibu Beach, July 6
Oh, it was sweet.
But, alas, I am home again, and back in the proverbial saddle/computer chair! (No picture of that, thankfully.)
Why oh why does time have to fly when you are having fun???
Who made that rule?
(We need to talk, him and me. And not just about that.)
...Hope your summer is sweet too.

There would be no better place for watching the runners sing their homily to San Fermin just before the start of the running of the bulls if the parking lot and sports center are built as planned by the architects. In the architectural plans drawn up by the Tabuenca & Leache architectural firm two lifts have been included and one of these would serve "to cover the drop that exists between Descalzos Street and the Museum Square above" and this would mean putting a walkway just over the place where the running of the bulls starts. It would be placed at just three meters from the San Fermin niche and this would an extremely attractive position for the media to get some good TV shots and would be equally attractive to photographers looking for good snapshots of the runners singing their homily to the saint just before the start of the running of the bulls.
In the simulation offered by City Hall it can be seen that the exit and entrance doors of the parking site would be located just behind where the starting rocket is sent off to start the running of the bulls. The model also shows that a walkway is planned to continue the Paseo de Ronda just behind. But it seems that this option is likely to be rejected finally as it would not allow access for the city bus service (maybe the Miuras would also get blocked off!). The report from the cultural entity - Institución Príncipe de Viana- states that other alternatives for the two planned lifts should be considered. As it is still in its preliminary plan, the architectural project will still be debated and discussed some more before the definitive approval is given by the authorities.

Tracking M&A Advisors' Track Record Along Acquisition Sequences – The Positive Influence of their Industry Expertise and Advisory Relationships on Serial Bidders' Acquisition Performance
Pascal Stock
University of Mannheim - Department of Finance and Accounting & Taxation
September 24, 2013
This study extends the literature of acquisition sequences by examining bank advisors' influence on the performance in mergers and acquisitions by modeling banks' expertise on the industry level and their advisory relationships with serial bidders. The advising investment banks' industry expertise and its access to the serial acquirer's private information have a positive influence on the acquisition performance. Experienced banks help serial bidders to complete value creating acquisitions faster and to withdraw quickly from value destroying deals. The analysis shows that the matching of the most experienced banks with the most frequent serial acquirers is efficient in terms of higher returns, a shorter time to resolve the bid, a higher completion probability and a higher probability to make a good acquisition decision.

Below are current and past research projects conducted by members of the CHiLL Lab. Please see the respective project web pages on the dub website linked for each project to find associated researchers, publications, and downloads.
We are interested in designing technology to help detect, record, and track important developmental milestones that occur in children during their first 5 years of life. By tracking these milestones, we can help parents and healthcare providers detect developmental delays such as autism or deafness earlier, which can improve the effects of interventions. We have developed design guidelines for developing technology to support new parents in record-keeping and implementing novel technologies to support better record-keeping and decision-making about developmental progress. We have also designed and evaluated two systems called Baby Steps and KidCam, which were aimed to meet the record-keeping needs of new parents. We are currently in the process of developing a web portal with subsequent text messaging, Twitter, and Facebook links to help make tracking more interesting and motivating. Baby Steps is funded by the National Science Foundation.
Empathy in Health Technologies
Many projects in HCI focus on health care and data collection, including those that help might diagnose or identify different disorders or communicate health information. One danger of this is the potential for these technologies to cause unnecessary fear and anxiety in its users over their health or the health of their loved ones. We are exploring ways that technology can be designed to be more empathic and sensitive to the prospect of delivering potentially negative health care information, and in particular, technology that may potentially identify bad news of a diagnosis.
Heuristic Evaluation of Persuasive Health Technologies
Persuasive technologies for promoting physical fitness, good nutrition, and other healthy behaviors have been growing in popularity. Despite their appeal, the evaluation of these technologies remains a challenge and typically requires a fully functional prototype and long-term deployment. In this project, we attempt to help bridge this gap by presenting a method for using heuristic evaluation to evaluate persuasive technologies. We developed a set of 10 heuristics intended to find problems in persuasive technologies that would affect persuasive elements, adoption, or long-term effectiveness of the technologies. We compared the performance of Nielsen's heuristics to our heuristics on two persuasive technologies using 10 different evaluators. Using our heuristics, evaluators found more severe problems more frequently. In addition, the issues that found only by our heuristics were more severe and more relevant to persuasive, cultural, and informational issues of the interfaces evaluated. Our method can be helpful in finding problems in persuasive technologies for promoting healthy behaviors earlier in the design process.
We have been researching and designing ways that computing interfaces can actually make us think more rather than less. The research includes determining opportune times to make tasks cognitively harder, methods that make users think more without being frustrating or annoying, and activities that can be seamlessly integrated into people's everyday tasks. Example ideas include a Firefox extension that requires you to solve 10 simple arithmetic problems before you load Facebook, switching the order of items on a person's iGoogle home page every visit, and a digital picture frame that quizzes you on facts about your family. Our work has included formative work, design ideation, prototyping, and the definition of a design space framework for technologies in this space. We are also working toward developing a design framework for categorizing and generating new ideas.
Lullaby is a system designed to help users improve the quality of their sleep by monitoring environmental factors that disrupt sleep (currently light, sound, temperature, and motion) along with sleep quality itself (using commercial sleep trackers like the Fitbit) and providing feedback. To be practical for deployment into bedrooms, it is designed to be unobtrusive and inexpensive. It aims to respect users' privacy in this sensitive context by providing them with the ability to selectively disable data collection and to review and delete collected data. Lullaby helps users identify relationships between sleep disruptions and environmental factors; in the future, we plan for Lullaby to give concrete recommendations for addressing identified sleep disruptors. Lullaby consists of four components: the sensor suite, the data collection computer, a sleep tracking device, and a tablet interface for control and feedback. We are currently conducting evaluations of this study. Lullaby was funded by the UW Royalty Research Fund, Intel Labs Seattle, and an NSERC PhD fellowship.
Personality & Persuasive Technology
Though a variety of persuasive health applications have been designed with a preventive standpoint toward diseases in mind, many have been designed largely for a general audience. Designers of these technologies may achieve more success if applications consider an individual's personality type. Our goal for this research was to explore the relationship between personality and persuasive technologies in the context of health-promoting mobile applications. We conducted an online survey with 240 participants using storyboards depicting eight different persuasive strategies, the Big Five Inventory for personality domains, and questions on perceptions of the persuasive technologies. Our results and analysis revealed a number of significant relationships between personality and the persuasive technologies we evaluated. The findings from this study can guide the development of persuasive technologies that can cater to individual personalities to improve the likelihood of their success.
Sensing & Inference in the Home
We have conducted several studies to understand the acceptability of sensing and inference systems in the home. The first study used an anonymous postcard and surveys to understand and characterize the private moments that occur in the home that participants would not want recorded. The second study used sensor proxies to probe people's responses in situ to sensing and inference systems.
ShutEye is a research application that was developed by the University of Washington and Intel Labs Seattle for Android-based mobile phones. The intent of ShutEye is to help improve people's awareness about healthy sleep hygiene—that is, the practices that are believed to promote improved quality of sleep. A glanceable display on the wallpaper of a person's mobile phone provides recommendations about common activities that are known to impact sleep relative to sleep and wake times: consuming caffeine, napping, exercising, eating heavy meals, consuming alcohol, ingesting nicotine, and relaxing. For example, a person can quickly glance at his or her phone to see if having a cup of coffee or doing vigorous exercise right now is likely to impact tonight's sleep. ShutEye was evaluated in a 4-week field study with 12 participants who were recruited from the general population.
Sleep Technologies Design Space
We are investigating the design space for the use of technologies to support health sleep behavior. As part of this research, we conducted a large survey, interviews with 16 participants, and a contextual inquiry with a sleep disorders center. We determined a number of design opportunities and challenges for working in this space. To help map out the space of existing and future computing technologies for supporting healthy sleep, we developed a framework that can be used to organize existing technologies and look for opportunities to design new ones.
