While continuing to expand her impressive portfolio of calligraphy projects for private clients, Cheryl Jacobsen is helping to create a program with various lettering classes at different levels.
Jacobsen, an adjunct assistant professor in The UI's Saturday and Evening Program, teaches students how to write with a broad edged or pointed pen and develop the skills associated with that knowledge—an understanding of letterforms and a better grasp of spatial perception and design.
"My work at the Center has allowed me to expand my view and my teaching to make connections for myself and others between lettering and other disciplines such as typography, printing, paleography, bookbinding, fine art, medieval history and graphics," Jacobsen said. "Hands-on collaborations with other book artists from the Center are especially rewarding."

SEATTLE - Tickets for the Washington men's basketball team's final home game against top-ranked Stanford sold out Friday. The March 6 game will be televised live on ABC (KOMO 4 in Seattle) at 3 p.m. Pacific Time. The game also airs on UW flagship radio station KJR (AM 950) in Seattle.
Tickets are still available for the Huskies' only other remaining home game, a Thursday, March 4 encounter with California.

The California game features a Web Ticket Special. All bleacher seats can be purchased on-line for $7 rather than their usual price of $10.
The Stanford game marks the sixth sellout since Bank of America Arena re-opened for the 2000-01 season after renovations. Washington's game against Gonzaga in December also sold out this season.
The Huskies' game against Arizona on Jan. 13, 2001 was the first sellout in the new 10,000-seat configuration. The Wildcats' visit to Seattle last year drew a record crowd of 10,028 on Jan. 11, 2003.

Hurricane Arthur was a Category 2 strength storm, with Saffir–Simpson estimated wind speeds from 154–177 km/h, and with the storm's trajectory predicted to head towards Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Arthur made landfall during the night time near the Outer Banks of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.
In the morning of Friday, July 4th, 2014, there was a stationary front moving eastward ahead of the hurricane into Nova Scotia. Just east of that front, roughly located between Truro and Halifax, a region of localized instability with 70+ dew points and 31.6 degrees Celsius (89 degrees Fahrenheit), forced up a line of convective storms along the boundary producing at least one weak supercell that resulted in some lightning, \pea sized hail, and a brief wall cloud ( See slideshow).
A day before landfall in Nova Scotia, the hurricane degraded into a tropical storm with estimated winds between 63–118 km/h. When the tropical storm finally struck Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the storm mainly packed high winds and had a lower estimated tidal surge than was predicted when the storm was of hurricane strength. Winds near Yarmouth were mostly in the range of 80 to 100+ km/hr. In Halifax, there were sporadic power outages, mostly caused by large broken tree branches hitting power lines ( See slideshow). In other areas of the province, such wind damage was considerably higher, with entire trees reportedly downed in some areas. At Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, the tropical storm, (with estimated winds between 63–118 km/h), produced a number of waves ranging between 5 meters, and at times reaching as high as 10 meters (See slideshow).

We've all got a horror story about the time our mom gave us a box filled with tampons and a training bra in front of our entire family that one Christmas, or the time our new boyfriend gave us a membership to an S&M club, or, worse still, diet pills. In honor of the worst gifts we, the Outblush staff, have ever received, we present a special holiday edition of Doubtblush: Wreck the Halls, where we'll tell you the stories of the most awful gifts we've gotten, and find a modern counterpart to it.... You know, just in case you've got a White Elephant party coming up.
Picture, if you will, a wee nine year-old, princess-and-My Little Ponies-obsessed Janetor. (Also, an inveterate sugar fiend.) At a Christmas party for swim team, we were all asked to bring a gift worth $15 or less, and since our ages ranged from 6 to 18, most of the team parents played it safe and bought Blockbuster gift cards, candy gift bags, cookie sets, etc. Throughout the party, my eyes greedily roamed the gift table, trying to figure out which gaily wrapped gift would contain the most sugar, which my mother surely wouldn't be able to ration out for me if I hid it in my swim team duffel bag before she arrived to pick me up. The anticipation grew and grew, until I was pretty much full-on Hyperbole and a Half-style jonesing for what I knew would be a fabulous feast of HFCS and Red Lake Number 5.
Finally, my turn came to pick up a bag. I grabbed the biggest one still left on the table, and ripped into it: A giant, gross, Predator movie action figure, much like this Alien VS. Predator: Requiem NECA Action Figure Series 4 Battle Damaged Masked Predator ($65). I'm not sure whether or not I should be ashamed of this, but I hollered, "WHO BROUGHT THAAAAAAAAAAAT?" and burst into tears. A seven year-old little boy came forward and yelled, "I did! It's COOL!" and he ripped it out of my hands and ran off. Sadly, by the time I calmed down, there were no more gifts left on the table.... And this little sugar addict spent the rest of the party wrapping cookies and jelly beans in napkins from the food table, stuffing them into her duffel bag.
Since that day, when going to a group gift exchange, I have played it extra safe and stuck to Starbucks gift cards, boxes of Godiva, and the like.
cute story : )
I love that you referenced allie's blog hyperbole and a half! Her stuff makes me die laughing. I knew you ladies were awesome but this just seals it!
Spaghatta Nadle! (Also: Kenny Loggins ruined Christmas.)

In a new twist on the now-established cruise industry blog concept, Holland America's launched the first that will focus solely on the process of building a brand-new ship. Featuring the 86,700-ton, 2,104-passenger Eurodam, a prototype design for the line, the blog at www.eurodamnews.com offers tidbits ranging from technical (the development of a new air injection system) to traveler-friendly, like itinerary announcements and ship design details.
One of the draws of the blog is that key members of the new-build team will participate. It's too early to tell whether contributions from executives intricately involved in the Eurodam new-build process will yield ripe fruit -- but I can't think of another cruise line that's giving readers access to folks like this, including the line's director of new-builds, Eurodam's hotel operations chief and HAL's itinerary planner. Take note, too, that all postings have room for reader feedback.
One caveat: Like many other cruise line blogs -- including the candid, sometimes over-the-top (in a good way) series of postings by Carnival Freedom Cruise Director John Heald -- this one was birthed by the line's public relations department.
And so far, there are times when the Eurodam copy is slightly less than forthcoming and this of course reminds you that, in fact, this is a public relations vehicle rather than a blog from an objective source. One piece that immediately brings home that point is a posting under accommodations; this notes that an additional deck on the ship "will accommodate 63 more staterooms than the Vista-class ships." What the piece fails to mention is that Holland America is basically increasing capacity without adding any significantly measurable extra space. Small detail, but still read with a critical eye.
It's anticipated that the blog will be updated several times a week -- with the ultimate goal of adding new info on a daily basis leading up to Eurodam's debut in June.

A Funny and a Craft
She especially does not like to sit still at the table. She will eat enough to take the edge of any hunger she might be experiencing and is then ready to get down and run around. While this isn't problematic at breakfast or lunch, it causes trouble at dinner. She is practicing sitting at the table and keeping us company as well as not grabbing onto us with her dirty hands. A couple common refrains at our dinner table include, "No, you may not get down yet. We need you to sit still. Get back in your seat. Eleanor! Get in your seat!" "Ellie! Please don't touch me with your dirty hands. We don't grab people or touch them when we're eating." "Use your napkin, please."
Well, at dinner the other evening she was bored. Obviously, she was really bored. She put her head in the sleeve of her 'Punzel gown and called out, "Look at me!!" Oh my stars! We all just about died laughing as she entertained us by making funny faces.
Lily wanted a pretty clipboard. This is not a pretty clipboard.
1. Walking with Tami this morning.
2. All my crocci are blooming. I'm sooooo happy I planted all those bulbs this past fall!
3. Chatting with Robin today.
4. Chatting with Jessie for the first time in forever today. Girlfriend is BUSY!
No milestones.

My goodness! That child is HILARIOUS! LOVE her Punzel dress.
Once again Hal, and El and twins. Hal insists on sitting by me, for all meals. She is constantly out of her seat and either leaning on me, or holding on to me with her messy hands. Oy! Even at restaurants, she will always ask to sit by me, and then uses me for her napkin the entire time. I'm glad she wants to sit by me, but......well, you know. :)
- jaydee said...
That child is hysterical and, I can really see one of these photographs appearing on her wedding day slide show....mmm... "slide show". Now that's showing my age. But, you get what I mean!
Love the washi tape clipboard. What a difference it made. Now, it truly is a clipboard worthy of use!
Your croci. What a wonderful sight that must be. Us... more snow overnight!

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2013 Article IV Consultation with the PhilippinesPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 13/44
April 18, 2013
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2013 Article IV Consultation with the Philippines is also available.
On March 29, 2013, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Philippines.1
In 2012, the Philippine economy shrugged off weakness abroad to grow by more than 6½ percent, while preserving internal and external stability. This reflected strong consumption and investment, fuelled by exceptionallylow interest rates and sustained remittances, as well as continued export product diversification. The current account surplus remained around 3 percent of GDP supported by remittances and business process outsourcing exports, while inflation moderated to 3.1 percent in yearaverage terms.
Large and stable inflows from abroad contributed to the cumulative 10 percent real appreciation since end 2009. Despite the larger-than-expected appreciation of the peso last year, reserves still rose by about US$9 billion. In total, they remain high—at the equivalent of 34 percent of GDP. Capital inflows moderated in 2012 relative to the previous year, but picked up in early 2013.
Financial and real estate markets have been buoyant. Equity prices rose by one third in 2012, bank credit and other sources of financing are growing briskly, while shortterm Tbill rates have dropped below 0.2 percent. Real estate activity is proceeding quickly, although price growth remains in the single digits.
Despite the strong economic performance over the past decade, the benefits have not permeated the broader population. Unemployment is around 6¾ percent—high from a regional perspective—and the poverty rate remains stubbornly elevated. The weak investment climate of poor infrastructure, limited competition due to tight restrictions on foreign investment and concentrated ownership, and continued red tape and corruption are seen as contributing factors.
Policies are geared to maintaining stability and supporting sustained and inclusive growth. The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) has reduced its policy interest rate while utilizing a broader range of tools than in the past to respond to easing domestic inflation pressures and low interest rates abroad. The fiscal stance was mildly supportive of growth in 2012. The government is undertaking reforms to raise fiscal revenue while increasing social and infrastructure spending and lowering the debt ratio. In the financial sphere, oversight and regulation of the real estate sector has been stepped up. Expanded social programs will help meet basic needs, while numerous PublicPrivate Partnership projects in various stages of preparation are intended to alleviate infrastructurerelated growth bottlenecks.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the authorities' prudent policies which have delivered strong macroeconomic outcomes and set the stage for favorable economic prospects for the near term. However, Directors noted risks associated with global uncertainties, volatile capital inflows, banks' increasing exposure to some sectors, and the possibility of stretched asset prices. Accordingly, they stressed the importance of continued prudent policy implementation and stepped up reforms to bolster resilience, sustain high growth, and reduce poverty.
Directors welcomed the broadening of the policy toolkit to strengthen monetary control and preserve macrofinancial stability. In this context, they noted that authorities' participation in the foreign exchange market continues to be limited to smoothing excessive volatility, and urged that the exchange rate continue to move broadly in line with fundamentals. Careful deployment of macroprudential measures will be key to managing inflows and risks of asset price bubbles. Directors highlighted that arrangements to ensure adequate central bank capital will be essential to support operational independence of monetary policy.
Directors commended the generally proactive financial sector oversight. Further steps to close supervisory gaps, including by broadening the central bank's authority to allow supervision of conglomerate parents of banks and strengthening legal protections for supervisors would help mitigate systemic risks from real estate, shadow banking, and concentrated credit exposures. Directors welcomed recent actions to address weaknesses in the regime to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism.
Directors endorsed the authorities' continued focus on further strengthening the fiscal position over the medium term. Efforts to improve tax administration and compliance, broaden the tax base, and reduce exemptions will be necessary to generate budgetary space for infrastructure and social spending. Recent increases in alcohol and tobacco excises are welcome steps in this direction.
Directors noted with satisfaction some improvement in the business climate. However, to sustain strong growth, increase domestic job creation, and reduce poverty, they saw the need for further reforms geared toward increasing investment, improving infrastructure, and enhancing governance. Directors agreed that the expanded coverage of public health care, conditional cash transfers, and longer compulsory schooling would help meet immediate basic needs and support a more productive workforce. To catalyze private investment, Directors encouraged the authorities to relax limits on foreign ownership, execute public-private partnerships in a transparent manner, and strengthen the medium-term fiscal framework.

TC TO JOHN RUSKIN ; 5 May 1856; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18560505-TC-JRU-01; CL 31: 82
Chelsea, 5 May, 1856—
Dear Ruskin,
Our dining-place on Wednesday (day after tomorrow) is "71. Glo'ster Place, Portman Square" (Mr Rennie's); and it is proposed that you should call for us there at 10 ½,—half past 10;—we will of course come down to you directly; and that will bring us to Bath House in excellt time. To get out of it again, with a carriage,—ille labor hoc opus [that is the labor, this is the challenge] (like the route to a certain other place);1—but we can advise about that too, if such is your resolution.
I have little doubt the Oxford Address is what Lord Ashburton meant; but I could not find him yesterday, on trial;—and it was agreed I should take you to him in person on Wednesday evening, and let him tell his own story. Take no trouble therefore about the Address till then,—unless by accident you hear again tomorrow, whh is not likely.
Mr Rennie, "71. Gloucester Place Portman Square, at ½ past 10 Wedy Evg": that is the essential point;—and I will hope a pleasant meeting.
Yours always truly /
T. Carlyle

1.Flip open your first magazine and leave the
cover out to the left.Thumb through
about ten pages, then fold those pages in half towards you, tucking the pages
ends back towards the binding.Use a
paperclip to secure the page ends together close to the binding.
2.Repeat this until you've folded in all the
pages in the magazine, about 10 pages at a time.Don't worry about counting pages – it doesn't
have to be exact so guessing is fine!
3.When you're done, fold the cover in in the
opposite direction to create a semi circle.
4.Repeat this process for the next
magazine.Then glue the spines of the
two magazines together – back to back – and you will have created a full
5.Repeat this entire process with your
remaining two magazines, and then stack one magazine circle on top of the other
so that it's a good height for your bedside table.

Clark County's law enforcement agencies.
When Betsy the cow is running amok in the streets of Ridgefield, you'd better call Officer Jason Ferriss to get things under control. He knows a guy who can identify the owner of practically any bovine in the county just by description and will do what he can to get Betsy back to pasture.
Clark County's law enforcement agencies.
Police work in Clark County's smaller cities looks a little different than it does in Vancouver and some parts of the county patrolled by the Clark County Sheriff's Office.
Officers in those smaller departments — including Battle Ground, Camas, La Center, Ridgefield and Washougal — generally have more time to patrol their beats, make contacts with citizens and keep an eye out for problems. Patrol officers who work for the big, busier agencies usually spend a larger part of their shifts bouncing from call to call, while specialists follow up on specific crimes.
That's not to say that one department's strategy is better than the other.
"It's just a different way to do the same thing," said Sgt. Scott Schanaker, a sheriff's office spokesman. "It's a different approach."
It boils down to call volume and resources.
Call load
Ridgefield police officer Ferriss, one of six officers with the department, spent 10 years with Longview police before coming to Ridgefield about four years ago. He said there is a definite difference between how a larger departments works, compared to smaller ones.
"As far as police work, the difference is call load," Ferriss said. During a typical shift he gets three or four calls, which is a lot less than he would get in Longview, he said.
Sheriff's deputies "can easily do eight to 12 reports a night, on a busy night," sheriff's office spokesman Schanaker said. "Sometimes you're hopping," other nights deputies might have one call that takes a lot of time and sometimes deputies work traffic.
"It just really depends," he said. "It's the ebb and flow of the calls."
Officers in Camas see more ebb than flow.
Officer Brent Mayhugh said he spends a lot of time on patrol looking for problems, making contact with people and working traffic — the No. 1 complaint category his department receives.
"It's a city where you can be more of a proactive officer," he said.
That means trying to address problems before they happen instead of responding after they do, he said.
One of his recent projects was watching a stop sign in front of Prune Hill Elementary School. Mayhugh thought a few people might be rolling through the stop. After watching the intersection for more than a month and making several stops he thinks people are starting to get the point. He hopes his work will prevent a pedestrian from getting hit there.
Camas Police Chief Mitch Lackey said those lower call volumes also mean that patrol officers can get to less-serious crimes.
"We still go on every call. Many agencies find they have to prioritize and can't go on those lower-priority calls," Lackey said. "If you call 911 here in Camas, no matter how small your problem might seem, we'll send an officer to the house and the officer will try to fix the problem."
Types of crime
La Center Police Chief Tim Hopkin has been working for the department since 1985. At the time, there was only one other officer. Today his department has 13 people on staff, including two civilian clerks. That works out to be about three officers for every 1,000 people in town, he said. Most other departments in the county hover somewhere around one officer per 1,000 residents.
Most cases his department sees are minor theft, malicious mischief and domestic violence, Hopkin said.
That falls in line with basic calls with other departments.
Ridgefield officer Ferriss said he dealt with rapes, shootings, bar fights and other serious crimes in Longview. He doesn't really see that sort of crime happening in Ridgefield.
"Here, I think the threshold is a little lower for the type of stuff I respond to," he said. Now he spends a lot of his time with neighbor problems, animal complaints and traffic enforcement. Some of those things weren't always handled in person at Longview, he said.
One time a man stopped by the station and told Ferriss a neighbor was upset because a cat was pooping in his sandbox.
Ferris investigated.
There was a language barrier, Ferris said, but the neighbor said there wasn't a problem.
Then, Ferriss returned to the man who reported the problem to get more information.
At his doorstep, the man closed the door behind him. His eyes were wide and Ferriss could smell marijuana.
He discussed the cat, went back to the police station, got a search warrant and returned to the home. Turns out the man had a grow operation, Ferriss said.
"That reinforced that you never know what kind of call you're going to get or what it's going to turn into," he said.
Residents seem to appreciate seeing their police force out on those calls.
Ridgefield resident Clyde Burkle said he hasn't had any direct interactions with police in his hometown, but he feels safe knowing they're out there.
"As a citizen that (seeing them out on patrol) provides me with a good feeling," he said. "For a small town, I think we have a very competent department."
Familiar faces
Spending a lot of time in the community and talking with citizens means that many cops in small towns know just about everybody.
Camas' Mayhugh said he gets to know residents and "bad guys" in his city. Those "bad guys" also know him — and other officers in the department — by name and their personalities. They like certain officers and not others, he said.
On a recent shift, Mayhugh saw a group of young men walking back from the Camas Municipal Court. He stopped his car and checked in with the men, some of whom he'd arrested before, to see how they were doing at home, work and with the courts. The men knew Mayhugh by name. Some answered his questions openly, others were more guarded with their responses.
Making connections is part of the small-town policing Mayhugh enjoys. He said talking with people generates leads and helps build a rapport with residents.
What goes where
Ridgefield's Ferriss has a pretty good idea what cars belong where and who is who in Ridgefield. Sometimes he'll spend part of his shift looking for out-of-place vehicles or other things that just don't belong.
"I kind of know what should be parked where," he said. "In a small town you kind of get to know people."
Jim Maul lives just outside the Ridgefield city limits, but says he still benefits from the police department.
"I believe that our department … is doing a really good job," he said. "From a traffic standpoint, our kids are safe moving around town."
Maul said he sees officers around town who serve as reminders for people to be good.
"If I had something negative to say, I would," Maul said. "I have the highest respect for their professionalism."

|Mark Levi, The Pennsylvania State University
|Physics often provides mathematics not only with a problem, but also with the idea of a solution. Some calculus problems can be solved more quickly without calculus, by using physics instead. Quite a few theorems which may seem somewhat mysterious become completely obvious when given a proper physical incarnation. This is the case for some "elementary" theorems (the Pythagorean Theorem, Pappus' theorems, some trig identities, Euler's formula V-E+F=2, and more) and for some less elementary ones: Green's theorem, the Riemann Mapping Theorem, Noether's theorem on conserved quantities, and more (no familiarity with any of these is assumed). I will describe a miscellaneous sampling of problems according to the audience's preferences.

Awesome Center to Match with Monitor 60 Towers 12/11/2013
This review is from: Polk Audio CS1 Series II Center Channel Speaker (Black) Single
I cant say enough good about this center. Price is great right now and quality is fantastic. I know many people recommend the CS2 for a little more low end however its bulkier and this speaker sonically is a perfect match for the tower monitor 60's. Also I don't recommend going lower then 80hz on any center channel as it will make voices and audio a bit deep. Many audio enthusiasts recommend keeping your center at above 100Hz but I find that 80Hz which is the THX std works great. I keep my towers at 60hz which allows them to sound as good for music as they do for movies and it keeps the frequency curve near flat with the center as your about an octave higher then the -3db threshold of both sets of speakers. I verified in my own listening tests as well as using a sound level meter and for me this is the sweet spot with this setup. For my rears Im using the monitor 30's also at 80Hz which also blend perfectly with this center. I dont recomend running any speaker down to the lower range it can hit as the volume will slope off and the audio will not be as clean. If you want a flat response for HT you have to set your cross over at about an octave higher, it doesn't need to be perfect and will give you a bit of head room and take some strain off your equipment and speakers. Let the sub woofer do its job and hit the low frequencies. Anyways its an awesome speaker and I don't think most people need the added response of the CS2 as you traditionally set your cross over well above what the speaker can handle, yes its response may be just a hair flatter at the same cross over but its not worth the price delta in my book. Most consumers will be very pleased with this setup and its a no brainier if your using the bookshelf Polks like the R30's as they have an identical range.
None, tremendous value for the dollar spent.

What is the VMmark Benchmark?
VMmark is a free tool used by hardware vendors, virtualization software vendors, and others to measure the performance, scalability, and power consumption of virtualization platforms.
The VMmark benchmark:
- Allows accurate and reliable benchmarking of virtual data center performance and power consumption.
- Allows comparison of the performance and power consumption of different virtualization platforms.
- Can be used to determine the performance effects of changes in hardware, software, or configuration within the virtualization environment.
Why a Virtualization Platform Benchmark?
Server consolidation typically collects several diverse workloads onto a virtualization platform — a collection of physical servers accessing shared storage and network resources. Traditional single-workload performance and scalability benchmarks for non-virtualized environments were developed with neither virtual machines nor server consolidation in mind. Even previous single-server virtualization benchmarks have not fully captured the complexities of today's virtualized data centers.
VMmark 2.x: A True Multi-Server Virtualization Platform Benchmark
VMmark 1.x pioneered single-server virtualization benchmarking with its unique tile-based multi-application design. VMmark 2.x took the next step, filling the need for a multi-server virtualization platform benchmark by incorporating a variety of common platform-level workloads such as live migration of virtual machines, cloning and deploying of virtual machines, and automatic virtual machine load balancing across the data center.
VMmark 2.5: Server and Storage Power Measurement
In addition to the performance measurement in previous versions of VMmark, VMmark 2.5 adds the option to measure both the absolute power consumption and the power efficiency of the servers and storage used in the benchmark tests. This allows purchasing decisions to include not just absolute performance, but also performance per kilowatt, an increasingly significant factor in the total cost of ownership of computing resources.
Note: Though VMmark uses the SPEC® PTDaemon, VMmark results are not SPEC metrics and cannot in any manner be compared to SPEC metrics.
How Does VMmark Work?
The VMmark benchmark combines commonly-virtualized applications into predefined bundles called "tiles." The number of VMmark tiles a virtualization platform can run, as well as the cumulative performance of those tiles and the performance of a variety of platform level workloads, determine the VMmark 2.x score.
A Peer Reviewed Benchmark with More than 200 Published Results
Before being published, VMmark results must be submitted to a review panel composed of a variety of companies that have published VMmark benchmark results, ensuring the fairness and integrity of the benchmark.
Since its inception in 2007, more than 200 VMmark results have been published on the VMmark website and VMmark has become the standard by which the performance of virtualization platforms is evaluated.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Soil, Water, & Fertilizer
Growing Cole Crops (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Mulch is a protective layer of material such as straw, hay, leaves or grass clippings. Placing four to eight inches of mulch around your garden vegetables prevents weeds, keeps the soil cool and helps retain moisture in the ground around your plants. Mulch is practically a must in the South.
Cole crops don't need to be mulched when the weather and soil are cool. But you can use mulch to provide the cool, moist growing conditions they need if it's hot.
Brussels sprouts have to be in the garden for a number of months before they mature, so it's likely they'll be subjected to some hot, sunny days. Mulching them will help them endure the heat with fewer problems.
One of the benefits of mulch is that it cuts down on weeds by shutting out light to the ground it covers. If you really hate to weed, you can mulch the walkways between your garden rows as well as the vegetables themselves. Try to use a mulching material such as straw that contains few, if any, weed seeds, so you aren't planting more weeds than you prevent.
Black plastic is another type of mulch, but it is used mostly to warm up the soil for heat-loving plants, such as melons and tomatoes. Don't use it on cole crops. Organic mulches are best, as they tend to keep the soil cool.
Side-Dress Fertilizer
Some plants need extra nutrients during their growing period. They either use the initial fertilizer completely or they take such a long time to reach maturity that the fertilizer has been washed away. Giving plants a second dose of nutrients is known as side-dressing.
You usually will want to sidedress broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. The best time to sidedress cabbage is just before it starts to head. The plants will use this boost to produce a second crop once you've harvested the first. Brussels sprouts are in the ground a long time and the foliage is quite dense, so they really respond to a second dose of fertilizer just before they start budding.
To sidedress, simply draw a circle in the soil around the base of the plant, about four inches from the stem. Sprinkle a handful of 5-10-10 or dehydrated manure in the ring and cover it with an inch of soil.
The tender foliage can be burned by the nitrogen in the mixture, so place the plant food a few inches away from the base of the plant. This will also ensure that the nutrients will seep gradually into the soil, reaching the roots a little at a time rather than all at once.
If there's no rain soon after side-dressing, water around the base of the plant to send the nutrients to the roots.

On June 5, 2012, Paul Shishis of Oshawa, Ontario stood outside his workplace during a break at approximately 10:14 a.m. and felt the desire to snap a few pictures of the CN Tower, which he could see toward the west in Toronto.
What he captured should not have surprised him, since he has been finding UFOs on film for quite a few years now at work, at home and everywhere in between. In this case, however, he was surprised because he saw nothing odd in the sky while taking the shots with his new camera with a 24X zoom.
"I walked up the two-storey stairs for a better field of vision over to the west," Shishis explained. "I took three 'zoom' camera still shots within seconds at 10:14 a.m. Later when examining the three photos of the CN Tower, I noted something odd in all three pictures. I did not see the object due to the distance yet my camera caught something out of the ordinary."
The first photo, he said, revealed a "strange black box-shaped-like object with a single white light center directly above the tower or nearby." In the second and third photos, the object seemed to change in shape and density appearing "semi-translucent."

There is nothing to go off of but my own experience at this point in time. Acting III just started Monday night. It was not what was expected, but actually much better. Right now the class consist of just one other girl and I, her name is Samantha. She was not in class on Monday though. Monday was a one on one course with our instructor, Matthew Pyle. From experience, he is a great instructor and cares about the well being of his students.
Upon arrival he asked that I bring in a scene to read from the Wizard of Oz. He knew that auditions are coming up soon for this and that he could help. He also asked for a head shot and acting resume as well. Both of us were sitting in a conference room and the first thing he did was ask personal questions. Something like that always puts a person in a comfortable place. The comfort of knowing that others care about how comfortable another person is.
Being there to learn and listen is one thing, but sometimes it's nice to be listened to. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' was next on the list, he wanted to hear it. He knew that a song was needed for this audition so we started with this song. It was very still and very quite, so then we decided to try 'Vienna', by: Billy Joel. By the third or fourth performance it was accomplished. All the thoughts and feelings that one should be thinking and feeling during a song like this were there.
Matthew was very honest in both harsh and in good ways, but that is what acting is all about. People think that it looks easy and maybe it does, but there is defiantly a lot more to it than what meets the eye. If one is looking for a career in acting, than the best thing they can do for themselves is find a class where they matter and find an instructor who makes them feel like they matter.

Athlete Parties at Celeb-Friendly Resto, Gets Pretty Much Everything Comped
Who would have possibly thought Hakkasan would comp its celebrity customers?
U.S. Open winner Andy Murray hit Hakkasan with his entourage this week, racked up a $5,000-plus bill, and got the whole thing, save the tip, comped. Yahoo! Eurosport got its hands on the bill and it's as extravagant as it sounds. A waiter at the restaurant tells "Page Six" that this is standard practice: "For them, it's just good publicity." And here we all are writing about it so, yep, looks like that's true. [Yahoo! Eurosport via Eater, Page Six/NYP]

When the bubble chamber first burst onto the scene
Strange particles were first seen in 1947(1) in a cloud chamber of Blackett, triggered by hadron showers produced by cosmic rays. Soon after, other strange particles, then called V particles, were also seen in nuclear emulsions. Progress in our understanding of these new particles was slow, partly because the experimental possibilities were limited to cosmic-ray observations, and partly because the phenomena were so totally outside of what was then known.
I remember in 1949, on a bulletin board at the Princeton Institute of Advanced Studies, a photomicrograph of a nuclear emulsion event, showing what is now known as a K-meson decaying to three pions. We all saw it. There could be no doubt that something interesting was going on, very different from what was then known, but it was hardly discussed because no-one knew what to do with it.
The copious production of these particles, indicative of the strong interaction, was at odds with their long lifetimes, indicative of the weak interaction. Pais noted in 1952 (2) that this could be understood by inventing a feature of the strong interaction, a selection rule, which would permit their production but forbid their decay via the strong interaction. He implemented this in a mechanism that required the new heavy particles to be produced in pairs. This was extended some months later by Gell-Mann (3), who ingeniously combined the selection rule with the notion of isotopic spin. It required that the pair of Pais be composed of a "strange" and an "antistrange" particle.
Enter the accelerator
The arrival of accelerators of sufficient energy facilitated the study of these new particles enormously. The Brookhaven Cosmotron accelerated protons to 3 GeV, six times the energy of the highest energy cyclotron, and sufficient to produce the new particles in collisions on nuclei, and Ralph Shutt and colleagues had developed a new type of cloud chamber. The V particles produced in cosmic-ray showers had been observed in cloud chambers, but these were very inefficient for accelerator experiments because, once made sensitive by expanding the gas, they would require 1 min of relaxation before they could be expanded again. The accelerator cycle, however, was typically 1 s. The new "diffusion" cloud chamber, in contrast, was continuously sensitive and made it possible to demonstrate the production of strange particles in pairs(4) and verify the hypothesis of Pais and Gell-Mann (figure 1).
Two years later, in 1955, Gell-Mann and Pais (5) noticed that the neutral kaon should exist in two versions, one strange and the other antistrange, one the antiparticle of the other. In addition to the known neutral kaon, there should be another one, with the same mass but with much longer lifetime and with different decays, with opposite symmetry under space inversion.
This idea, which seems obvious now, was not obvious at the time. It was not easy for me to understand or to accept this proposal when I read it, but a few days later T D Lee succeeded in explaining it to me. Once understood, the idea could not be rejected.
The experimental confirmation a year later by Lederman and Landé(6) marked a big step forward. It was also carried out at the Cosmotron, and used what was, to my knowledge, the largest cloud chamber ever, 1 m in diameter. The large size made it more likely that the long-lived kaon, with a decay path of the order of 10 m, would decay inside. The chamber had been built at the Nevis laboratory some years before, but had never found any use. This, to my knowledge, was also the end of the long and glorious career of the cloud chamber in particle physics.
In 1953 Donald Glaser invented the bubble chamber(7), which went on to dominate particle physics, especially strange particle research, for the next 20 years. He showed that energetic particle trajectories can be made visible by photographing the bubbles that form within a few milliseconds after particles have traversed a suitably superheated liquid (figure 2).
The bubble chamber
The advantage of the bubble chamber over the cloud chamber at accelerators was two-fold: the higher density of the liquid proportionally increased the number of interactions produced in it, and it was faster to reactivate, matching the frequency of the accelerator cycle.
Within a year, John Woods, in the group of Alvarez at Berkeley, succeeded in producing tracks in liquid hydrogen.(8) The chamber was a metal cylinder to which glass plates were attached, using indium ribbons as seals. In addition to being a major cryogenic technical achievement, this also demonstrated the crucial fact that for use with accelerators, where the expansion can be timed with respect to the accelerator cycle, the bubble chamber environment need not be as ultra-clean as was the glass vessel of Glaser, which permitted the liquid to survive in its superheated state for relatively long periods.
Three graduate students, John Leitner, Nick Samios, Mel Schwartz, and I began work at Nevis on the design of a practical experimental bubble chamber (9) to study strange particle production at the Cosmotron, I think early in 1954. By 1955 we had a 6 inch (15 cm) diameter liquid propane chamber. This was used at the Cosmotron in the first experiment using this new technique. The work profited a great deal from a generous collaboration as well as friendship with the inventor, who was working on a similar project at Brookhaven with his former student, David Rahm. (10)
Rapid action
Our main technical contribution at Nevis was the discovery of a rapid action three-way gas pressure valve, the "Barksdale" valve. This made it possible to recompress the liquid within milliseconds after the expansion, and so to reduce the undesirable thermal effects that result if the pressure remains low for longer times and greater quantities of liquid boil.
As work progressed, we were joined by R Budde from the newly established CERN laboratory, who had been sent to learn about the new technique. The chamber had a serious flaw, which we nevertheless accepted in order to get experimental results - the liquid became clouded and lost its transparency after a few hours of operation. It was then necessary to empty and to refill the chamber, with a consequent loss of time.
The experiment (11)used a pion beam of energy 1300 MeV, only slightly more than the minimum required to produce a strange particle pair. There was no magnetic field, so the particle momenta could not be measured. However, the information from the spatial directions of the observed particles, recorded stereoscopically, sufficed to permit the identification of L hyperon and neutral kaon decays, to distinguish collisions on hydrogen from those on carbon, and so identify the processes we wanted to study (figure 3).
The lifetimes of most of these particles are of the order of 10-10s, and consequently their path length is typically some centimetres. The several dozen events obtained gave the first quantitative measure of the production probabilities and angular distributions for negative pion on proton reactions, giving a positive kaon and a S-, and a neutral kaon and a L. In retrospect, the most interesting result was a precocious glimpse of parity violation, soon to be at the centre of the particle physics stage.
The development of bubble chambers went on apace. Within a year the 10 inch (25 cm) hydrogen chamber of Alvarez was in operation at the Bevatron, which was then, with 5 GeV protons, the world's highest-energy accelerator, and which had permitted the discovery of the antiproton by Chamberlain, Segrè, Wiegand and Ypsilantis in 1955.(12) In 1959 this was superseded by the 72 inch (1.8 m) chamber, the workhorse of the Bevatron for more than a decade, which led to the discovery of several meson and hyperon resonances.
At Brookhaven the Shutt group made important technical advances. In 1958 its 20 inch (50 cm) chamber came into operation, followed in 1962 by the 80 inch (2 m) chamber. This went on to take 11 million photographs, and the results included the important discovery in 1964 of the triply strange W- hyperon,(13) confirming the SU(3) symmetry proposed by Gell-Mann to account for the multiplet structure and mass regularities of the observed strange particles, and which mothered the invention of the quark (figure 6).
At CERN a 30 cm hydrogen chamber came into operation in 1960, and the 2 m hydrogen chamber in 1964. This became the main CERN tool for the study of resonant and strange particle physics for a decade and kept hundreds of physicists busy and happy. Gargamelle, a very large heavy-liquid (freon) chamber constructed at Ecole Polytechnique in Paris, came to CERN in 1970. It was 2 m in diameter, 4 m long and filled with freon at 20 atm. With a conventional magnet producing a field of almost 2 T, Gargamelle in 1973 was the tool that permitted the discovery of neutral currents.

BPA, bisphenol A, Breast Cancer Fund, Silent Spring Institute, Environmental Health Perspectives, BPA in canned food, phthalates, Robyn Griggs Lawrence
BPA levels in families who ate fresh rather than canned or plastic-packaged food for three days dropped by an average of 60 percent, according to a study released today by the Breast Cancer Fund and Silent Spring Institute. Bishphenol A (or BPA), which is used to line food cans, has been linked to breast cancer, infertility, early puberty and other health problems.
The five families in the study, which was published in Environmental Health Perspectives, avoided canned foods and drinks and meals prepared outside the home in lieu of freshly prepared organic meals in glass storage containers. During the three days that the families ate the fresh food, their BPA levels dropped on average by 60 percent. When families returned to their regular diets, their BPA levels climbed back to the higher levels.
Phthalates, plastic-softening chemicals that can interfere with reproductive development, also dropped in participants when they ate fresh food. Levels of DEHP, a phthalate used in food containers and plastic wraps, dropped by an average of 50 percent when families were on the fresh-food diet.
"This study suggests that removing BPA from food packaging will remove the No. 1 source of BPA exposure," says Janet Gray, Ph.D., science adviser to the Breast Cancer Fund. "The study should serve as a call to action for industry and government to get BPA out of food packaging and to fix the broken chemical management system that allows it to be there in the first place."
"This is an important study," says Andy Igrejas, director of Safer Chemicals for Healthy Families. "It highlights two things: first, the government still does not have a handle on these chemicals even though health concerns have been established for years. Secondly, there is something consumers can do. As long as the federal government fails to identify and restrict toxic substances, consumers will increasingly have to take matters into their own hands through efforts like restricting their packaged food."
Last year, Consumer Reports tested 19 name-brand foods and found the highest levels of BPA, ranging from 36 parts per billion (ppb) to 191 ppb, in Del Monte Fresh Cut Blue Lake Green Beans. High levels were also found in Progresso Vegetable Soup, with BPA levels ranging from 67 to 134 ppb, and Campbell's Condensed Chicken Noodle Soup, ranging from 55 to 102 ppb. Based on studies from the 1980s, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) considers exposure of 50 micrograms per kilogram of BPA per body weight per day to be safe. A 165-pound adult eating one serving of canned green beans, which averaged 123.5 ppb of BPA, would ingest .2 micrograms of the chemical — 83 times the recommended amount.
Earlier this month, China followed Europe, Canada and the United Arab Emirates in banning BPA from children's products. The U.S. Food and Drug Association has not addressed the chemical, and its proposal to list BPA as a "chemical of concern" has stalled in the White House Office of Management and Budget. Nine states have passed laws regulating BPA. The National Resources Defense Council recommends avoiding baby bottles and sippy cups made of polycarbonate (hard, clear, shatterproof) plastic, marked with the recycling symbol #7 and sometimes labeled "PC."
The Breast Cancer Fund and Silent Spring Institute offer the following suggestions for reducing exposure to BPA and DEHP:

FRESNO, Calif. - Senior guard Taylor Thompson became the 20th player in Bulldog history to score 1,000 points in a career, as she scored 19 points to lead the Fresno State women's basketball team in a 60-50 victory over Colorado State on Saturday at the Save Mart Center.
Fresno State (10-5, 4-0 MW) has now won four-straight to open Mountain West play and the win over the Rams (11-4, 3-1 MW) gives the Bulldogs an early leg-up in the conference race after the two teams entered the day tied for first in the league standings.
"We're very grateful for this win because Colorado State is a great team," head coach Raegan Pebley said. "We know that every game in our conference, anyone can win. You got to show up and think, 1-0, you can't rest on past success."
Rest was one thing not on Thompson's mind Saturday. In playing all 40 minutes in the game, she scored her 19 points on 6-of-9 shooting and also grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, had four assists, no turnovers and two steals.
"Any time you get something like that it's a real honor because this is a great school with great players that come through," Thompson said of becoming the 20th Bulldog to go over 1,000 career points. "I'm just really honored to get that, it's a great accomplishment for me and a great accomplishment for our program and our team."
Pebley noted her accomplishment means that much more given the fact that much of her career she has been the main distributor, not scorer. Thompson ranks fourth in school history for assists in a career with 403.
"I think that is something special about 1,000 points for Taylor, is that in her career here she's played around great scorers," Pebley said. "She's played with some great scorers, some of the best in the west, not just in our conference. So to be somebody that sets them up to be great scorers, but then can also score 1,000 points in her career as well I think is tremendous.
"It's a testament to her when she says she does whatever needs to be done to help the team, that's exactly right."
The Bulldogs were able to end Colorado State's seven-game winning streak and they did so with defense, holding the Rams to a season-low 50 points.
"They're a team that scores a lot and our 3-point defense was great," Pebley said about holding CSU to 50 points and 2-of-11 from behind the 3-point arc.
CSU shot just 35.3 percent in the game and the Bulldogs forced the Rams into 15 turnovers.
Alex Sheedy had six of Fresno State's 12 steals in the game. The Bulldogs also did a good job converting, scoring 20 points off of CSU's turnovers.
"We couldn't allow them to play to their strengths, which was going to be in that half-court motion [offense]," Pebley said was a key to Fresno State's success on defense. "We did a great job of dictating the pace and I feel like we were able to find success with that and it fueled our offense. If we hadn't gotten some offensive transition points and some steals and turnovers, I don't know if we would have gotten the `W' tonight because in the half court their defense was excellent."
Fresno State ended up shooting 41.1 percent for the game, but used a big first half where they led by 13 points to fuel the victory. CSU quickly cut that halftime lead down to five points in the first five minutes of the second half, but the Bulldogs continued to find an answer all game long.
Along with Thompson's 19, center Jacinta Vandenberg scored 12 points.
Fresno State only hit 4-of-22 attempts from downtown, but were solid at the free-throw line by connecting on 10-of-11 attempts.
Colorado State was led by guard Ellen Nystrom, who scored 17 points and had six rebounds.
The Bulldogs remain at home to host San Diego State on Wednesday at 7 p.m.

CliveBarker starts us off with the Prologue for Odyssey II and selects the submissions for the final books. The ultimate creative challenge to produce the ultimate deviantART book.
Clive Barker, an "artist first" bestselling author of 20+ books, including the New York Times bestsellers Abarat; Abarat: Days of Magic, Nights of War; Abarat: Absolute Midnight and The Thief of Always, the creative force behind horror films - Hellraiser, Candyman and Nightbreed and the producer of acclaimed Academy Award winning drama Gods and Monsters has requested your collaborative participation in bringing to life one of his otherworldly narrative creations. He will write the opening Prologue to kick things off and he will be the final judge on all the chapter submissions and illustrations.
Last year, Odyssey Into 2012 turned out to be as inspirational as it was aspirational, in the end as auspicious as it was originally audacious. We took a chance and we learned a lot from you - all who took the time and stayed up late trying to be "creative on a deadline." You should be somehow rewarded. We think we've just the thing to seduce you back for participation in Odyssey II.
Who better than the Hellraiser himself, author of some of the most imaginative literature ever recorded in the English language and a truly accomplished painter, Clive Barker to act as the spectral hand guiding the writers, illustrators and animators of our new Odyssey II to its most mind-blowing end.
Clive has already authored the five paragraphs of the Prologue. Up to this point only techgnotic, marioluevanos and a trusted few of their associates have read the intriguing passages. We are now experiencing sleep disturbances and momentary visual and auditory hallucinations. It may be coincidental, but... Let's just say Clive has provided us with the perfect beginning of the most horrible nightmare, or the most revelatory ode to joy and happiness, ever - one that could go in so many possible directions, too many to imagine. But then, that's your job now.
Clive Barker has decided that proceeds from the book sales of Odyssey II will be donated to The Amanda Foundation and not PETA. The Terms for Submission for Odyssey II have been changed.

In the late 2003, Francisco Reyes converted his franchised Aristocrat Restaurants at the food courts of Shangrila Mall and SM City North EDSA to Reyes Barbecue outlets. In the middle of 2005, the Reyes brothers decided to form a partnership to engage in the franchising of Reyes Barbecue to entrepreneurs. The brothers are the sons of Teresita "Mama Sita" Reyes, the eldest daughter of Doña Engracia "Aling Asiang" Reyes. They deem the brand as an appropriate vehicle to serve the famous barbecue dishes of the Reyes clan to the broad market in a quick-service format.
From the first Reyes Barbecue franchised outlet in Theater Mall Greenhills which opened on October 2005, the chain has grown to more than 40 outlets by the first half of 2008. Eventually, Reyes Barbecue is envisioned to be the global barbecue brand to be found in cities all over the world.

LG played with the typical "candy bar" mobile phone form factor and came up with an elegant and unique extended shape for the BL40. With its eye-catching 4" wide (21:9) touchscreen display, the Chocolate is more practical as a mobile web browser than most phones. The problem? Lil' Orphan Chocolate has no U.S. carrier 'cause Verizon shied away from releasing the unconventional BL40 stateside and went with the Chocolate Touch instead.
