My interest in the field of (applied) ethnobotany is constantly growing through my passion - ancient and current cultural uses of various plant bark, its management, and commerce. I have a BA in Archaeology from Vilnius University (Lithuania), experience of working in the field, archives and in the laboratory. Last years of work connected me to ethnobotany and step by step I begin to specialize in Alpine, Arctic and sub-Arctic vegetation. So far I have been working with traditional knowledge of native peoples in Northern Scandinavia and South Western China. All along the way gained knowledge formed the solid and sustainable foundation of an accurate view of my individual scientific direction. I hope everything I do with the help of ethnobotany will contribute to informing the encounters between peoples in the North, reveal and heal the burdens of history, suggest new approaches to curation of indigenous peoples' heritage, encourage cooperation among local, indigenous and other institutions.

Aloha! My name is Matthew Bond, and I'm a Canadian/American botany Ph.D. student at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa. As a Cornell University undergraduate, I studied Plant Sciences with a concentration in Plants and Human Health.
Our lives depend on plants- for every five people in the world, three use medicinal plants as their primary source of medicine. I want to know how people choose these medicinal plants- why do people look at their environment and decide to use certain plants for medicine rather than others?
To answer this question, I'm currently working in Solomon Islands. My ten-month research trip is exploring how plants, and humans, and their environments affect one another, and may also help us to develop new medicines. Feel free to follow my adventures on my blog!

Student committee member Cory W. Whitney is a PhD Candidate at University of Kassel, Witzenhausen, Faculty of Organic Agricultural Sciences and Scientific Staff at the Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences in Kleve, Germany. He is a human ecologist, ethnobotanist, and organic agronomist with more than ten years experience in nonprofits, environmental educational organizations, and research institutions. Cory is interested in supporting and strengthening sustainable practices through education, development, and participatory research; seeking solutions to the interconnected issues of loss of biodiversity, loss of traditional culture, and food insecurity.
Betsabe D. Castro-Escobar
As a native of Puerto Rican, I grew up in tropical gem that is rich in biodiversity and natural wonders. My interest in plants and people began in my childhood when I use to help my grandparents prepare traditional herbal remedies whenever we got sick. My growing curiosity for plants and people motivated me to pursue a BS degree in Integrative Biology at the University of Puerto Rico and later a MA degree in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Missouri.
Now, I am a first year graduate student with Paul Fine and Thomas Carlson in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of California, Berkeley . My general research interests lie in the intersection of the fields of tropical ecology and ethnobotany. I am especially interested in how humans can promote evolutionary responses to culturally significant plants. I attempt to compare the phenotypic variation and plasticity of ethnobotanical plants in different islands of the Caribbean Basin. I am also interested in establishing research sites in Northern California and the Amazon.
Ghita Heidt
I am not the typical student, I am a single mother and after a long break from university I have returned to finish my degree. I have always been interested in plants since I was a young girl living in the North. Now I am an older "girl" living in the south and my love of plants and their uses has stayed with me these many years. As far as ethnobotany is concerned and my focus in my studies I am still trying to figure that out. At Florida State there has not been any professors interested in ethnobotany that could give me any guidance and most everything I have learned of plants has been self guided. I did some independent study on the medicinal uses of Hypericums of Florida along with georeferencing and have explored the biogeography of plants while at FSU.
I find myself interested in the evolution and biogeography of plants and how this has affected the the various cultures of the world but also how culture has affected plants and their dissemination over the planet. At this point of time in the history of our world I also find incredibly important the protection of this knowledge of the many uses of plants and also the conservation of said plants and the ecosystems within which they reside.
Brandon Dale
As an amateur botanist researcher who studied the cultural and scientific aspects of traditional medicine, with a specific focus on the types of herbal therapies that are used to heal, I did not think that there would be any majors that truly captivated all of what I wanted to learn as an undergraduate. However, after taking a biology class during my first semester called "The Botanical Roots of Modern Medicine," my eyes were opened to an entirely new world of academic pursuits – ethnobotany and pharmacognosy. After being equipped with knowledge of traditional healing systems, traditional botanical knowledge and phytotherapy, I knew that this is what I wanted to study as an undergraduate and beyond into my doctoral degrees.
Wanting more experience within these fields, I began to conduct research involving medicinal plants and reaching out to those who had similar interest, which inevitably lead me to the SEB. Serving on the SEB's Student Committee would allow me to share my passions for the field of ethnobotany, while creating opportunities for other students to access mentors, internships and SEB resources. As an undergraduate, I feel especially inclined to serving on the SEB Student Committee so that I can reach out to the undergraduate population of ethnobotanist to build a community that promotes academic inquiry and conversations amongst undergraduates interested in ethnobotany.
Anna Elise Stratton
I am a Biology and Food Systems (Environmental Studies) undergraduate student at Tufts University in the Boston area. My real passion lies in ethnobotany, however, and I am thrilled to have discovered the SEB student page and committee this year.
Since my freshman year of college, when I began working with Dr. Selena Ahmed (now at Montana State University) on her tea agroecosystems project, I have been enthralled by the plants-and-people relationships that make up ethnobotanical research. Following that spark, I have conducted two independent field-based research projects, the first on seed-saving practices among the Mapuche in southern Chile and the second on plant biodiversity and agroecosystem vitality in eastern Guatemala. My methods in the more recent project involved interviews with (Guatemalan) Q'eqchi' Maya farmers and maize grain collections for protein analyses. These dual methods illustrate my blossoming interest in finding ways to tell both plants' and peoples' stories about agroecosystem changes.

Ray Roberts Reservoir - 2003 Survey Report
Prepared by Bruce Hysmith and John H. Moczygemba
Inland Fisheries Division
District 2-A, Pottsboro, Texas
This is the authors' summary from a 46-page report. For a copy of the complete report, use the download link in the sidebar.
Ray Roberts Reservoir was surveyed in 2003 with trap nets and electrofisher, and in 2004 with gill nets. This report summarizes the results of these surveys and contains a management plan for the reservoir based on these findings.
Reservoir Description
Ray Roberts Reservoir is a 35,719-acre impoundment on the Elm Fork Trinity River north of Dallas-Fort Worth in Denton, Grayson, and Cooke Counties. It was constructed in 1987 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for municipal water supply, flood control, and recreation. Ray Roberts has a drainage area of approximately 692 square miles, a shoreline length of 207 miles, and a shoreline development index of 8.6. Principal tributaries are Isle du Bois, Buck, Range, Wolf, Indian, and Spring Creeks. Approximately 38% of the reservoir is < 15 feet deep. Average rainfall is 36 inches annually. The lake level fluctuated approximately 3.5 feet during the period June 2002 through May 2004. There are seven boat ramps, eight public access areas and angler access at eight bridge crossings, and handicap access is adequate with boarding piers at all boat ramps and a long fishing pier at the Isle du Bois Unit of the Ray Roberts State Park. A park access fee of $5 per person per day or $60 annually (from month of purchase) is required before launching a boat at all sites except Pecan Creek Park off FM3002 on the Elm Fork Trinity River arm of the lake.
Fish Community
- Prey species: Historically, the electrofishing catch rate of gizzard shad has remained at or above 100.0/hour. The 2003 electrofishing catch rate of gizzard shad was 127.0/hour, a decrease from 1998, and below the district average of 173.7/hour for 2003. The Index of Vulnerability (IOV, Di Cenzo et al. 1996) for gizzard shad was 25, a decrease from the IOV of 72 in 1998. The 2003 electrofishing catch rate for bluegill was 123.0/hour, a decrease from 1998, and below the district average of 146.7/hour for 2003. Ninety-two percent of the sample population was < 4 inches total length (TL). The electrofishing catch rate for threadfin shad was 189.5/hour in 2003, which was the highest catch rate on record.
- Catfishes: Blue catfish first appeared in this reservoir in 1998. Their abundance increased as indicated by the 2004 gill net catch rate of 1.4/net night, equal to the district average for 2004. The sample population was comprised of 7- to 26-inch groups and 67% of the sample population was legal size (> 12 inches TL). Remaining relatively stable since 1995, the gill net catch rate of channel catfish in 2004 was 5.5/net night, similar to the district average of 5.4/net night. The sample was dominated by 7- to 9-inch groups. The sample population was made up of 31% legal fish (> 12 inches TL). Relative weights varied greatly by inch-group, but seldom lower than 90. Directed angling effort for catfishes (blue and channel catfish combined) declined in 2000, according to annual creel survey statistics. Angler catch rate and harvest rate for catfishes declined after 1998. The angler harvest rate of channel catfish in 1998 was 1/hour, in 1999 0.7/hour, and in 2000 0.5/hour. The average size harvested was 15 inches. Results from the spring quarter only for 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2004 indicated directed effort for "catfishes" dropped in 1999, but increased in 2001 and 2004. The catch rate and harvest rate for combined catfishes were highest in the spring of 2001. Sizes of channel catfish harvested during these four spring quarters were similar to the annual creel survey analysis.
- White bass: The 2004 gill net catch rate for white bass of 1.8/net night was above the district average of 1.2/net night. The sample population had 74% legal-size fish (> 10 inches TL). Relative weights varied by inch-group, but remained around 80. White bass grew to 10 inches TL in less than 2 years. Annual creel survey statistics indicated a decline in directed angling effort for white bass during 1998 through 2000. However, angler harvest was highest in 2000. The angler harvest rate of white bass was 0.7/hour in 1998, 0.5/hour in 1999, and 1/hour in 2000. The average size harvested was 12 inches. Results from the spring quarter creel survey for 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2004 indicated an increase in angler harvest rate from the spring of 1999 to the spring of 2004; the highest harvest rate was recorded in the spring of 2004. Anglers were harvesting almost 2 white bass/hour.
- Largemouth bass: The 2003 electrofishing catch rate for spotted bass was 15.0/hour, which is the highest on record. A strong year-class of young-of-the-year (YOY) was observed in 2003. Relative weights of stock-size and larger was around 90. The 2003 electrofishing catch rate for largemouth bass of 85.0/hour, was below the catch rate in 2002, but higher than the district average of 82.0/hour for 2003. From 1988 to 2003, nine electrofishing surveys were conducted with an average catch rate of 102.7/hour. Five of those nine surveys produced electrofishing catch rates of 86.7/hour or below. The lowest electrofishing catch rate on record was 48.0/hour in 2000. Despite the apparent absence of big largemouth bass, population dynamics seem normal. A largemouth bass virus (LMBV) survey in 2003 showed a 1.7% incidence of LMBV in the 60 largemouth bass collected. The reservoir was opened to the public January 1, 1990 with a 14-inch minimum length limit, 5 fish daily bag. The regulation has undergone numerous changes since to ensure protection of big fish in the population. Currently the harvest regulation is a 14- to 24-inch slot length limit, 5 fish daily bag limit (only 1 fish > 24 inches). Since slot length limits permit the harvest of smaller fish, 98% of the sample population was legal to harvest. Growth was generally faster than the average growth in the Ecological Region 5. No fish > 24 inches TL were collected during the standard survey October 2003; however two eight-year-old largemouth bass in the 22- and 24-inch groups were collected during a LMBV survey July 2003. Their counterparts in Ecological Region 5 were only 20.8 inches TL at 8 years old. Relative weights varied by inch-group, but never lower than 80. Florida largemouth bass (FLMB) intergradation increased from 40.0 % FLMB alleles in 1998 to 57.0 % FLMB alleles in 2003. During the same period % FLMB (pure Florida) increased from 10.0% in 1998 to 17.0 % in 2003. Since 20 % FLMB alleles is the accepted minimum for FLMB influence in a population, we feel this current intergradation represents a significant accomplishment, especially since the last stocking of FLMB was in 2001. There was also an increase in intergradation from 2002 to 2003 and no FLMB were stocked during that time period. The high number of intergrades and pure FLMB recorded in 2000 and 2001 may have been influenced by collecting YOY in the fall, following a spring stocking. Except for an increase in directed angler effort from 1998 to 1999, directed angler effort and catch rate of largemouth bass declined during the three-year period from 1998 to 2000 according to annual creel survey statistics. Angler harvest was low all three years. There was evidence of non-compliance with the fish harvest regulation. An analysis of the spring quarter creel survey for 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2004 provided results similar to the annual analysis. Angler catch rate in the spring of 1998 was very near the same as for all seasons combined, directed effort was highest in the spring of 1999, thereafter, declining dramatically in the spring of 2004. Angler catch rate for largemouth bass was similar in 2001 and 2004. Again, harvest of largemouth bass was insignificant and non-compliance with the harvest regulation occurred in all years except 2004. The angler catch rate of largemouth bass in the spring of 1998 was 0.8/hour, 1/hour in spring of 1999, and 0.4/hour in spring of 2001 and 2004
- White crappie: Crappie is the second-most-sought-after species in this reservoir. Based on trap netting surveys, white crappie abundance continues to increase. The trap net catch rate of white crappie for 2003 was 8.6/net night, more than double the 4.0/net night collected in 2000, but slightly below the district average of 12.5/net night for 2003. The white crappie sample population included 29% legal-size fish (> 10 inches TL). Relative weights varied slightly by inch-group, but remained around 90. White crappie grew to 10 inches TL in 2 years and, in general, demonstrated a faster rate of growth than the average for Ecological Region 5 reservoirs. Annual creel survey statistics over a three-year period from 1998 to 2000 indicated a decline in directed angling effort for white crappie. Angler catch rate increased from 1998 to 1999, but sharply decreased from 1999 to 2000. Angler harvest rate of white crappie dropped to a record low in 2000. There was evidence of non-compliance with the fish harvest regulation in 1998 and 2000. We compared creel survey data from the spring quarters of 1998, 1999, 2001, and 2004. The highest directed angler effort and angler catch rate occurred in the spring of 2004. Angler harvest rate of white crappie was the second highest on record in the spring of 2004. Anglers harvested 0.5 crappie/hour.
Management Strategies
- Based on current information, the reservoir should be managed with existing fish harvest regulations.
- Concern for the apparent lack of largemouth bass in the slot, prompted an increase in electrofishing effort to include not only a standard fall electrofishing survey, but a spring electrofishing survey as well. Perhaps the standard fall electrofishing with a random sampling design is not effectively producing catches of big largemouth bass. It may be coincidental that electrofishing catches prior to random sampling contained more big bass. We plan to use non-random sample site selection to augment random sampling. Age and growth studies have shown largemouth bass in Ray Roberts Reservoir grow faster than their counterparts from other reservoirs in Ecological Region 5. The FLMB genotype is well represented in the population with FLMB alleles at 57% and pure FLMB at 17%. Intergradation persists despite the last FLMB stocking was in 2001.
- Concern for performance of the fishery as shown by recent creel surveys has prompted us to propose another annual creel survey to begin June 2004 and include the acquisition of anglers names and addresses who would consent to responding to and attitude and opinion mail-out survey. Furthermore, we propose to survey anglers who formerly fished Ray Roberts Reservoir, but failed to return in 2003 and 2004.
- Creel surveys showed harvest of illegal size fish. We plan to confirm evidence of noncompliance of fish harvest regulations with law enforcement personnel.
- Water quality problems may be contributing to declining primary productivity; hence fish production. We plan to research water quality history for Ray Roberts Reservoir with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), University of North Texas (UNT), and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE) to identify latent water quality problems.
- Finally, we recommend updating the Ray Roberts Reservoir (Lake Ray Roberts) web page on the TPWD web site with appropriate information as needed.

Authorities in St. Charles Parish are looking for an escaped inmate.
According to a news release from parish officials, Charles J. Conrad III escaped from the Nelson Coleman Correctional Center about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Conrad, 34, was working in the kitchen when he escaped by climbing a fence near the facility's dumpster, the news release said.
After further investigation, the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office says it has determined that Conrad contacted Erica Williams to pick him up in a vehicle.
Conrad was described by authorities as an African-American man, standing 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds.
He was last seen wearing an orange jump suit.
Conrad was being held on charges of armed robbery and second-degree battery. He is now wanted on an escape charge, and Williams is wanted on a principle to escape charge, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Authorities said Conrad has family in the St. Rose and Kenner areas.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact the St. Charles Parish Sheriff's Office by calling 911 or 985-783-6807.

Marriage blocked
A Pakistani living in Limerick who wants to marry a Latvian woman has told the High Court that they were "shocked and devastated" when they were told the day before their wedding that they could not marry.
Last week, the couple secured leave to bring a High Court challenge against the Limerick County Registrar's refusal to allow their marriage, following a Garda (police) objection.
The couple, Ina Aksjonova, 23, and Shahid Mahmood, 25, living in Clare Street, Limerick were due to be married last July.
However, they were "shocked and devastated" after being informed the day before their wedding that the ceremony could not go ahead because the Gardai had lodged an objection.
The couple told the court that their marriage is not one of convenience and have argued they should be allowed to marry because no impediment exists to their proposed marriage.
Justice George Birmingham granted the couple leave to bring judicial review proceedings against the registrar for Limerick and the commissioner for an Garda Síochána arising out of the decision to lodge an objection to their marriage.
In their proceedings the couple are seeking a declaration that no impediment exists to their marriage.
They are also seeking a number of orders from the court, including orders quashing the objection lodged by the Gardai, and the decision by the Limerick County Registrar to refer the objection to the Registrar General for consideration.
Sunniva McDonagh, solicitor for the couple, said that Aksjonova is a Latvian national who works in a cafe in Limerick, while Mahmood, from Pakistan, is an information technology student in Ireland. They met on a Latvian social networking website.
Counsel said that an objection can only be lodged in respect of a marriage on the grounds that an impediment exists. In this case there was no such legal impediment. Counsel said the couple are not related, have never been married, are over 18 years of age, are of sound mind and are of the opposite sex.
Counsel added that the decision taken by the respondents in this action amounted to an unlawful interference with their right to marry.

Sleepless in Donegal
Donegal people don't rest too easily, as the results of a study show that when it comes to healthy sleeping habits residents of the county rank way down the list in Ireland.
The new A. Vogel survey reveals that Donegal ranks 22nd out of the 26 counties in terms of getting a good night's sleep. Near neighbors Leitrim claimed the title of soundest sleepers in the country.
Commenting on the results, A. Vogel's herbal advisor Nicola Murphy confirmed, "Unfortunately Donegal appears to have some of the worst sleepers in Ireland."
The study looked at the sleeping habits of all 26 counties based on the popularity of the herbal sleeping remedy Dormeasn which is used to help relieve sleep disturbances.
"Getting a good night's rest is really important as sleep is designed to restore our body to full function after wearing ourselves out during the day," Murphy insisted.
"For many of us, it can be difficult to switch off when our had hits the pillow. When our sleep is disturbed our bodies don't get time to repair."
And the county hosting the worst sleepers? That title went to Cavan, closely followed by Waterford and Dublin.

Craigavon Mayor Stephen Moutray and Upper Bann MP David Simpson are meeting with local health chiefs in the near future after two elderly patients were attacked in their beds in Craigavon Area Hospital.
The assault on the patients -- one of whom is over 90 -- took place in a medical ward and was reported to Moutray, who is angry about the attack and that the assailant was permitted to remain in the same ward as the patients for three days "until he discharged himself."
The Southern Area Health and Social Care Trust has confirmed the incident, but added such incidents were rare and that they operate a zero tolerance policy against violence.
And the charity Aged NI has roundly condemned the incident, with chief executive Anne O'Reilly saying, "It is important to ensure that older people in hospital are well protected and that procedures are in place to make sure that staff are able to observe what is happening and take action."
Moutray said that the 90-year-old sustained head injuries, while the other suffered bruises and cuts.
It happened at the beginning of October and he is seeking an "urgent meeting with the hospital's chief executive and with officials of the Southern Health and Social Care Trust to sort out the problem of violence in hospitals."
He added, "There are great concerns over the safety of patients and staff, and I want to know what the level of security is and whether there have been any prosecutions. I will be asking all these questions at the meeting.
"My information is this was a totally unprovoked attack and many questions have to be answered."

I feel confident declaring these the world's easiest bunny breadsticks to make, because I can't fathom any less steps. In fact, I don't even really know what to say about them, because they are so simple.
How are YOU doing? Tell me. What's going on?
Are you cooking Easter dinner? Or brunch? I have the perfect bread to serve. Bunny breadsticks.
They look exactly like bunnies, don't they? I mean exactly. No confusion at all.
how to make super easy bunny breadsticks
you will need:
- 1 (11-oz.) can Pillsbury® Refrigerated Breadsticks
- baking tray
- parchment paper
- Preheat the oven to 375º F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside. Separate the breadsticks. With your palms, roll a breadstick on the counter to form a ten-inch log. Hold both ends and form a "U." Cross the top as shown.
- Repeat with all the breadsticks.
- Place on the baking tray (or two trays, if you need to) and bake for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden. TIP: Work quickly with the dough, if you can, and try and minimize handling. The more the dough is handled, the tougher the breadsticks will be.

This bikes name is "The Bandit" I know it''s not very catchy but hey it sticks... I bought the bike off of a friend of mine as a commuter, then I realized it wasn''t an underpowered overwieght standard scoot! This bike it such a blast to ride, everyone who can ride a motorcycle should ride one of these bikes at least once! This bike is stock with the exception of: Rejet, Yoshi Zyclone Full system, and a gold valve fork job. This bike has over 31,000 miles on it and with the exception of the piss poor charging system it has been a dream to own. The fit and finish on the bike was ok but after it''s full restoration two years ago, it has been very easy to keep looking good!

Technical Abstract: The random amplified polymorphic DNA assay was used to compare four isolates of Sarcocystis neurona and eight species of coccidia from the genera Sarcocystis, Toxoplasma, or Eimeria. A single, common 550 bp DNA fragment was amplified from the DNA of each S. neurona isolate using a 16-nucleotide primer. Cross hybridization analyses among S. neurona isolates showed that DNA fragments had at least partial sequence homology. The primer generated several DNA fragments, including a 550 bp DNA fragment, from the related coccidia. DNA hybridization analyses indicated no sequence homology between these fragments and the 550 bp DNA fragment generated from S. neurona. The S. neurona 550 bp DNA fragment also did not hybridize with genomic blots of various related coccidia. These results suggest that the S. neurona DNA fragment may be useful as a species-specific probe.

MORAGA -- Paul Marigney's nickname from his days at Saint Mary's College is P-40. He lived up to the billing Sunday night.
Marigney, who played for the Gaels from 2000-05, scored 42 points and led the veteran White Team past the younger Blue Team 115-111 in Saint Mary's first All-Star Classic alumni basketball game.
"The name still remains, nine years later," said Marigney, who was named the game's MVP.
Marigney, whose nickname came from a memorable 40-point performance he delivered against Pepperdine his senior year, had eight 3-pointers and helped hold off a late charge by the Blue Team.
Mickey McConnell had 35 points to lead the Blue Team, which was coached by Matthew Dellavedova, fresh from his rookie season with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Omar Samhan had 23 points and Stephen Holt added 22 in defeat.
The White Team, consisting mostly of players from the mid-2000s, built several double-digit leads despite not having Patty Mills. The recently crowned NBA champion with the San Antonio Spurs was supposed to coach the team but didn't show up for unknown reasons.
In addition to Marigney's heroics, Daniel Kickert made six 3-pointers and had 26 points. He also won the halftime 3-point shooting contest. Diamon Simpson had 21 points and 14 rebounds.
For Marigney, this game represented a celebration of the success Saint Mary's has enjoyed since coach Randy Bennett took over beginning with the 2001-02 season.
The Gaels went 2-27 Marigney's freshman year, the program's fourth straight losing season under Dave Bollwinkel, who took over when Ernie Kent left for Oregon immediately in the aftermath of the Gaels' 1997 NCAA tournament appearance.
Bennett came in a year later, and his only losing season was his first one. By Marigney's senior year in 2004-05, the Gaels were back in the NCAA tournament and have made four more trips since.
"We were the cornerstone of switching this program around after the terrible team we had with Bollwinkel," Marigney said. "We came back and we kept the foundation, and we did everything we could to turn this program around for Patty, for Matthew, for Mickey, Diamon, Omar, all those guys."
In defeat, Samhan acknowledged some disappointment.
"Oh, I'm crushed," he said jokingly. "At the end, we were playing to win and Delly was coaching, so it was fun. You always want to win in those things."
He agreed that the event served as a great reminder of the success of Saint Mary's, which has been the winningest NCAA Division I program in California over the past decade.
"It's just a tribute to Bennett for how much he's been able to do, how he's kept us all in and still keeps in contact with everybody," Samhan said. "It's a great experience."

BERKELEY -- With an abundance of walkers, runners and cyclists, well-used parks, health-conscious schools, breast-feeding moms and tobacco-free public spaces, the city looks healthy. And it is -- for most residents.
Nonetheless, Berkeley has significant health inequities that the 2013 City of Berkeley Health Status Report calls "avoidable," "unjust" and "predictable by race/ethnicity ... income, housing, and education."
Dr. Janet Berreman, who heads the city's Public Health Division, shared data from the report at an Oct. 29 City Council work session: while many in Berkeley's white community -- 55 percent of the population -- enjoy homeownership, post-high school education and access to health care, life for many of the city's African Americans -- 10 percent -- is less rosy.
African Americans living in Berkeley are twice as likely as whites to live in poverty (a family of four living on less than $23,550 per year), and twice as likely to bear a premature baby. Blacks are hospitalized 14 times more for diabetes and five times more for hypertension.
The report focuses on the stark gap dividing white and black health outcomes, covering to a lesser degree Latino and Asian-American communities where the disparities are less pronounced.
Berkeley has multiple programs targeting the health divide, including health and mental health clinics serving mostly lower-income people, clinics at Berkeley High School and Berkeley Technology Academy, teen parenting programs and a community-based project in South Berkeley focused on hypertension.
Budget cuts, however, have hampered these efforts.
"As a result of the economic downturn ... the Public Health Division is about 50 percent of the size it was (in 2007)," Berreman told the council. "We have diminished resources to do this work." In a separate interview, Berreman declined to discuss how the consequences of cuts impact efforts to eliminate disparities.
Councilwoman Susan Wengraf asked Berreman to go beyond statistics. "I want to know the why," she said.
Berreman pointed to "racial inequities ... rooted in the long history of racial inequality in our country," and said solutions are beyond the capacity of a single agency or city.
Still, there has been progress, Berreman said, singling out the Black Infant Health program's role in reducing the rate of low-birth-weight (under 5.5 pounds) African American babies from four times that of white babies in 1991, to 2.5 times today. Still, she said, "That level of disparity is not acceptable."
BIH founder, Dr. Vicki Alexander, retired director of Berkeley's Maternal, Child and Adolescent Health explained in a phone interview that the BIH program worked because it was sensitive to participants' needs.
She described the program's core, sessions educating expectant and new African American mothers, and program elements that she likened to sunflower petals. The "petals" are support that participants receive when literally taken by the hand to navigate the maze of public services, including "getting past a welfare interview without getting pissed off by the way you're treated," she said.
The support includes building trust among participants facing "the constant assault society puts on you, between the job, education, the way people look at a black person as you walk down the street," Alexander said.
Budget cuts, however, eliminated 2.5 of the four BIH staff, one of whom was a mental health professional. "'Petals' are what the program had before we were cut back," Alexander said.
Interviewed in the Public Health Division offices, Berreman underscored the importance of looking ahead, noting her department recently added tobacco prevention staff -- 25 percent of adult African Americans in Berkeley smoke -- and staff for emergency preparedness focusing on vulnerable communities.
A school-based mobile asthma clinic is expanding.
"There have been reductions in the six-year period (2007-13) we're talking about," she said. "The reductions aren't my primary focus at this point. The reductions had an enormous impact a few years ago. Where we are now, is really a new normal. We have a strong (Public Health) Division. We are focused on moving forward."
While the council did not discuss health policy at the work session, Councilwoman Wengraf suggested it might be "appropriate to re-evaluate how our resources are being used in light of this information."
On Nov. 12, the council will look at NAACP and Health Commission proposals to reduce disparities.

Maybe we can all pitch in $10 each and help the highway department get new signs.
I was leaving ABC Debayeh two days back and I noticed that Fuddruckers was opening up across the highway. Finally we'll be able to have some decent burgers in Lebanon like the one below which is a Fudds burger I shot at the Kuwait branch. Their cookies are also amazing but hopefully they stick to the proper recipe since the cookies in the Bahrain branch for example are extremely horrible.
How we want it to look …
How it really is …
An oil leakage was reported in the Midterranean sea off the costal down of Dora [Naharnet]. Its cause is a ship that was emptying its cargo.
LBC reported few minutes ago that the leakage is huge . [Kataeb Portal]
As if we needed more pollution to the sea after the 2006 war. I haven't stepped in the sea since then and I will most definitly refrain from doing so this summer.
After the 5000 drop in gas prices in Lebanon only a month ago or even less, the prices have increased by 1700 LL already. 600 LL the 1st week, 800 LL the 2nd week and today a 300 LL increase.
3 weeks from now, we will be back to the original crisis. Hourray!
Enjoy the things you can buy for 5000LL ( 3400 LL now) before it's too late.
We've been witnessing people revolting in neighboring countries for the same reasons, with the sole difference is that we are democratically voting for the people screwing us up.
Every time I hear the Radio One commercial advertising Earth Hour I keep thinking to myself they can't be serious. Earth Hour is basically an event where everyone around the world turns out the lights for 1 hour for a better world or something lame like that. Believe in it or not, Earth Hour might make sense in countries where they have 24hours of uninterrupted electricity but in Lebanon? Come on… it's like Earth Hour every day or more like 12 Earth Hours every day.
I keep reading every 2 or 3 days about a number of people arrested by the ISF or the Lebanese Army due to possession of weapons or driving without papers or having search warrants to their names.
The average number of arrested people is around 40-50 every time but today it peaked at 121 individuals, among whom those involved in the "small family dispute" in Ghobeiri. [Link]
What happened in Ghobeiri is another typical Lebanese dispute which happens every now and then. [Example]
While I am glad that so many were arrested, my question is how many nights do those criminals spend in prison? 2 days? 3 days?
I hope I am wrong but I feel the same people keep getting arrested and then released and then arrested again every now and then.
It seems to be that most municipalities in Lebanon have an innate desire to screw up whatever is left of their cities. Jounieh is no exception to that despite trying to cover up its garbage with nice and shiny monuments and places.
We've been hearing about this amazing maritime sidewalk in Jounieh (Near ATCL) since ever and until now all we got were some repairs done on the already existing one. Now they're planning to replace the very unhealthy and unsafe playground they have done for kids with a small garden or park or whatever is showing on the picture below.
This may seem as a good plan if one disregards everything around the place, but let's explore what surrounds this "soon 3al lebnene" to be accomplished project:
– Arguile places all over the sidewalk.
– Huge Generators blowing toxic air into children's lungs in the playground.
– Army Base & ATCL Generators blowing toxic air into people's lungs while jogging on the sidewalk.
– Cars passing all day long emitting carbon dioxide.
– A "Bar 3al lebnene" (Estedrite) right across the street from the playground.
Kind of reminds me of Maya Zankoul's post on how buildings are portrayed and how they truly are. [Link]
Let us not talk about the roads there because they are no better than Jal el Dib municipality in terms of incompetence. [Link]
Whose country's flag is this?
It looks a lot like the Indian flag. Possibly Indian Cricket fans heading to a cricket game?
Going to ask our building concierge tonight if they organize such games in Lebanon. It would be fun to watch (maybe just once though cause I never understood or liked cricket).

Analysis: What's Up With the Title?
Let's see… the book is called Holes and it's about, well, holes. What a coincidence. But really, Shmoop doesn't think the title is anything really tricky or fancy. It's just Sachar's way of pointing us to some of the most important themes and symbols in the story. In fact, you might want to check out the "Symbols" section to really get the dirt on holes.

Ina Haney's daughter, Sue, died almost seven years ago. The Christmas following Sue's death, Haney's family looked to find someplace where they could work together to serve dinner for the needy.
Haney says even though they had a family, they still felt something was missing during the holidays. They could not find any agency or group providing food service on Christmas day.
Haney and her family started their own dinner that winter at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Grand Island. The first year, they served a Christmas meal to 250 people with the help of volunteers.
Last year, the dinner set out plates for over 800 people. They are making enough this year to serve 1,000. More than 250 volunteers are lending a hand to decorate the church, wrap presents for Santa to give away to children and make more than 700 pounds of turkey.
The dinner is given to anyone who wants to come to the church. Dinner is served from 12 p.m. until 2 p.m. on Christmas Day.

'Great Gatsby" setup
"Careless People: Murder, Mayhem, and the Invention of 'The Great Gatsby'"
By Sarah Churchwell
Penguin Press; 400 pages; $30
Sarah Churchwell's zesty cocktail of history, biography and literary criticism vividly captures the disordered existence of F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald during the 18-month sojourn on Long Island that inspired his greatest novel.
In fact, many readers will close her book astonished that Scott managed to write "The Great Gatsby" at all.
It's even more astonishing to realize that "Gatsby" was published in 1925 to decidedly mixed reviews, many of them dismissing it as a superficial melodrama.
Churchwell helps us see how critics could have so spectacularly misjudged Fitzgerald's masterpiece by elucidating its links to various events forgotten today but well known to contemporary readers, including a double murder in New Jersey in September 1922.
Churchwell, an American academic teaching in England, doesn't claim that "Gatsby" was directly inspired by the deaths of Episcopal minister Edward W. Hall and his parishioner-lover, Eleanor Mills.
Rather, she contends that the story of the Hall-Mills murders is the novel's "phantom double ... a nightmare version of grotesque reality, unrelieved by the consolations of art."
There are many such murky statements in Churchwell's book, which is stronger on atmosphere than intellectual rigor. But she does a brilliant job of re-creating "the world that prompted Fitzgerald to write 'The Great Gatsby.'"
It was indeed a world of "careless people," as Scott famously termed Tom and Daisy Buchanan in "Gatsby," and he and Zelda seemed the most careless of all as they enthusiastically participated in the Jazz Age party culture.
Zelda stripped off her clothes in public places; Scott capped all-night revels with a visit to the morgue. They had shouting matches that ended with one or both passed out on their front lawn.
The Fitzgeralds decamped to France in 1924 so Scott could sober up and get down to work, but this period of "drinking and raising hell generally" (his own words) was crucial to the creation of "Gatsby."
East and West Egg sprang from the cold eye Scott cast over Long Island's social landscape, where old-money mansions in Sands Point looked haughtily across Manhasset Bay at the nouveau-riche dwellings of Great Neck.
Narrator Nick Carraway's allegiance to upstart Gatsby over the entitled Buchanans had its roots in Scott's sardonic awareness that the 19th century robber barons who built Sands Point were just as crooked as the bootleggers and stock riggers of Great Neck.
Over and over, Churchwell demonstrates that Fitzgerald, even at his most dissolute, was gathering facts to serve his searching fictional commentary on the American dream and the enduring power of illusion.
What does all this have to do with the Hall-Mills murders? Not much, really. While disapprovingly outlining the lurid tabloid coverage of the case, which was never solved, Churchwell occasionally connects it somehow to "Gatsby."
She compares real-life social-climber Eleanor Mills to the fictional social climber Myrtle Wilson, which is mildly interesting. But it's simply far-fetched and confusing when she follows up the New Jersey prosecutor's surmise that Mills and her lover had been killed "in a case of mistaken identity."
She reminds us that in the novel grieving George Wilson kills Gatsby because he mistakenly believes Gatsby was driving the car that struck Myrtle.

POPLAR BLUFF -- With just under six minutes left in the ballgame, it seemed the Delta Lady Bobcats had things under control against the Naylor Lady Eagles.
That's when Naylor's Moriah Goodrum took over.
Goodrum scored nine fourth quarter points to lead Naylor to a 42-37 win over Delta in the state quarterfinals.
The fourth quarter began with both teams tied at 30. After Delta scored the first five points in the frame, including a 3-pointer with 5:53 on the clock, it looked as if Delta would pull away. Unfortunately for the Lady Bobcats, they would not score again until the closing seconds of the contest.
A layup from Ericka Engelman with 5:08 left to play kicked off a 12-0 run for the Lady Eagles that spanned almost five minutes and saw a five-point deficit turn into a seven-point lead.
"We had control of the game with about three or four minutes to go," said Delta head coach Mark Verticchio. "I think we just got a little too cautious, we didn't play to win, we played not to lose."
With 1:21 remaining in the contest, Naylor's Kendal Rodgers was fouled and went to the line for two shots. Despite missing both free throws, Rodgers was able to pull down her own rebound and get the ball to Goodrum who gave the Lady Eagles their first lead of the quarter.
"Rodgers had 15 rebounds, but she had a really big one there off of the missed free throw," Naylor head coach Gene Deckard said.
During the Lady Eagles' run, Goodrum posted nine of her game-high 22 points. Five of those points came from the free throw line, where Goodrum knocked down some clutch shots to help seal the victory for her team. She was 3-of-4 from the charity stripe in the final 30 seconds of the game.
"We tried to make sure that our senior went to the line," said Deckard. "She's stepped up big for us all year."
"We were forced to foul the wrong girls," Verticchio said. "We just had to hope they wouldn't knock their free throws down, but they hit the ones they needed to."
Following Goodrum's free throws, Delta was unable to score and was forced to foul. Katelyn Hughey capped off the Naylor run with a free throw.
Taylor Smith would finally put points on the board for Delta on their next possession, but it was too little too late.
Both teams got off to a sluggish start offensively in the contest. Despite having several open shots, the teams managed only 12 combined points in the first quarter, with Naylor leading 7-5.
Although the second quarter saw increased offensive production for both teams, the trend of missing open shots continued. Naylor was an ice-cold 6-of-22 in the first half, while Delta was 4-of-17.
"In the first half we just didn't make many shots," Verticchio said. "We're not talking about bad shots, we're talking about layups."
Delta was led in scoring by Smith and Machela VanGennip, who each finished with 11 points. The Lady Bobcats, who finish their season at 19-9, will graduate five seniors.
"They overcame so much adversity, and they had a great season," Verticchio said of his team.
Naylor will advance to Columbia for the state semifinals starting Thursday.
NAYLOR (42) -- Katelyn Hughey 8, Ericka Engelman 5, Moriah Goodrum 22, Kendal Rodgers 7. FG 14 FT 14-25 F 17. (3-pointers: none. Fouled out: none.)
DELTA (37) -- Taylor Smith 11, Kendra Burnett 4, Machela VanGennip 11, Tori Burton 2, Samantha Bartels 9. FG 13 FT 7-10 F 16. (3-pointers: Smith 1, Bartels 3. Fouled out: none.)

PORTAGEVILLE -- The home opener for the Portageville Bulldog basketball team was a success Friday evening as they defeated the visiting Richland Rebels 75-53. For the Bulldogs, it was a team effort that put away the Rebels from the opening tip.
Head coach Jim Bidewell said his Portageville squad handled the Richland defensive pressure well for four quarters.
"Our kids are all seniors for the most part," Bidewell said. "They should be able to handle pressure situations. I thought the kids played hard."
Byron Wright got things started for the home team as he cashed in for two points to put Portageville on the board first, then he followed up with an explosive dunk seconds later only to be whistled for a traveling violation erasing the bucket. Wright didn't give up however, and on the next offensive possession for the Bulldogs he threw down a two-handed dunk to electrify the home crowd. He finished the game with 18 points and a handful of steals, assists and rebounds.
Richland fell behind in the first quarter 24-12 and head coach Casey Knight attributed the Rebels' poor first half play to first game jitters as well as their mental preparation.
"We came out and I don't think mentally we were prepared to play the game," said Knight. "You know when you come in and play Portageville that they're going to play physical. They're going to get up and defend you well and they're going to shoot, hollar and (follow). That's what I call it because they shoot it and crash the boards."
The Rebels gave up just eight offensive rebounds in the first half, but Portageville capitalized each chance they got and at the break they led 42-29.
"We hurt ourselves," Knight said. "We had 16 first half turnovers, and it was like every time we did something good then we followed it up with something bad. We never strung the good runs together."
The second half was closer as far as score was concerned, but the Bulldogs held firm to their lead, countering each scoring run that the Rebels threw their way. Dometric Treadwell scored eight of his 16 points in the second half to aid the Portageville victory.
Leading the way offensively for the Bulldogs was Donnell Minnis. The Portageville senior had 22 points and eight rebounds and was 7-for-10 at the charity stripe.
On the flip side, Drew Thornton led the Rebels with 15 points, seven rebounds and six assists. Next in line in the scoring column was Ryan Kleffer with 11.
"We're making a few mental mistakes like every team does early in the year, but I felt like our effort was good," Bidewell said. "If they continue with the good effort then good things will happen. Of course it's easy to play in front of your home crowd, but I'm pleased."
Despite losing the season opener, Knight said he was pretty pleased with his squad's season debut.
"I told the guys that we had to contain penetration, box out and limit their shot opportunities," said Knight. "I think we did an okay job with that."
Portageville (1-0) will host Kelly on Tuesday evening while Richland (0-1) will have their home opener against Campbell. Both games are scheduled to begin junior varsity action at 6 p.m.

Q&A With Michelle Smith, The Founder Of Milly
Founder and top designer of Milly, Michelle Smith, caught up with Heard on the Runway after unveiling her Fall 2011 collection at New York Fashion Week to talk about the latest trends, her inspiration and some of her favorite fabrics.
WSJ's Heard on the Runway: What inspired the designs for your Fall 2011 collection? How does your inspiration come through in your designs?
Michelle Smith: I think trends from the 70s are perfect for right now. Also, I design around the fabrics I choose. This season, I've been using luxuriously textured materials, like mohair, suede and tweeds. To balance the heavier looks, I'm including fluid silky dresses, some bias cuts and evening pieces.
WSJ: You have used bright colors and rich textures in your Fall/Winter collections for the past couple of seasons. It looks like bright colors are becoming synonymous with the Milly brand.
MS: I design clothes that I want to wear and for me, it always starts with color. I was drawn to emerald green this year, beautiful sapphire blues and jewel tones. I like combining them to create a rich, intense color palette.
WSJ: Are there any colors or fabrics that you absolutely hate working with?
MS: We really have to be careful with silks and other fine fabrics to make sure they doesn't shrink, snag or pull. We also have to keep in mind that fabrics with loose weaves are prone to wearing poorly at stress points, while material cut on a bias can create a ripply effect on the seams if it isn't sewn properly.
A lot of sewers accustomed to working with silk are retiring, so the talent pool is shrinking. The factories don't like handling silk fabrics because the production time is longer, which slows down their capacity.
WSJ: When did you start planning for your fall line?
MS: Putting a collection together can take a long time. I started looking at fall fabrics and developing color stories six months ago, right after our spring collection. I had all of my fabric samples delivered before Christmas to avoid the mill shut-downs in Italy during the holiday season. I like to get everything done as soon as possible.

GRETNA, La. – The owners of New Orleans Harley-Davidson in Metairie are suing the shop's former office manager to recover nearly $100,000 allegedly stolen during the course of her employment.
Crescent City Partners on April 28 filed suit against the former office manager in the 24th Judicial District Court. The dealership said it hired her to work as an office manager July 2, 2012. The company claims that Dec. 3, 2013, the general sales manager noticed that a cash payment of $4,000 was missing and questioned her about where it was.
Crescent City Partners alleges that the office manager first stated that that she had given the $4,000 to the finance and insurance manager, but quickly changed her story and said that she had left her desk drawer, where the money was left, unlocked over the weekend, according to the Louisiana Record.
The dealer asserts that after conducting a forensic accounting, it found that the defendant was responsible for the missing cash and that $97,770.75 had gone missing from the dealership since she had begun working there. She is accused of conversion of funds, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and unjust enrichment.
The office manager was arrested last December after the money was discovered to be missing.
