Event Information
Nonfiction Book Group: The Inventor and the Tycoon
Date & Time: July 1, 2014 6:30 pm
Discussion of The Inventor and the Tycoon: A Gilded Age Murder and the Birth of Moving Pictures, by Edward Ball. Nearly 140 years ago, in frontier California, photographer Eadweard Muybridge captured time with his camera and played it back on a flickering screen, inventing the breakthrough technology of moving pictures. Yet the visionary inventor Muybridge was also a murderer who killed coolly and meticulously, and his trial became a national sensation. Despite Muybridge's crime, the artist's patron, railroad tycoon Leland Stanford, founder of Stanford University, hired the photographer to answer the question of whether the four hooves of a running horse ever left the ground all at once—and together these two unlikely men launched the age of visual media. This riveting true-crime tale of the partnership between the murderer who invented the movies and the robber baron who built the railroads puts on display the virtues and vices of the great American West.
This discussion will be held upstairs in the library.

|Incredible moving lights in the sky
Two nights in a row over salt lake city we have seen very strange objects in the sky. The best way I can discribe it a circular shape of light and a stream of light that looks to he hanging below. Flashes of color (red and green) can be seen at times. They hover without hardly moving. Last night my husband Reyes to convience me it was an odd looking star, but then it began to move (he lost it and startedjumping up and down). It looked as if it went thru the atmosphere because the light dimmed and disappeared. It was moveing extremely fast.
I know we can't be the only ones that saw this. Incredible!!

Trevor Earns His Spurs

Story by SSG Jennifer Bunn
Vilseck, Germany – The tradition of an Army Trooper earning their spurs dates back to the beginning of the cavalry when newly enlisted Soldiers learned how to ride their horses without spurs so they did not harm the animal.
Today, to earn their silver spurs, cavalry squadrons conduct 'spur rides'; a day in which Soldiers are tested on their proficiency of common military tasks and skills while pushed to physical exhaustion.
Within the ranks of 1st Squadron, 2nd Cavalry Regiment on Aug. 27 was Trevor Pedersen. A precocious 8 year old who got out of the first week of third grade to find out what it is like to be a Soldier.Read More

Merritt H. Powell
Posted by David Gettman on May 13, 2015 in Current News, Fiddler's Green | 1 comment
Merritt H. Powell, 81, passed away in Daytona Beach, Florida, May 10, 2015.
For many years until traveling got to be too much for him, Merritt volunteered at his own expense to go all over the country and often overseas to play his bagpipes at 2d Cavalry ceremonies and funerals.
He first joined the Regiment as a young PFC at Merrill Barracks in 1954 with Battery B, 70th Armored Field Artillery Battalion, which became 1st Howitzer Battery while Merritt was with them. He was standing on the parade field in uniform 50 years later when Howitzer Battery's colors were cased at Fort Polk, Louisiana to become 4th Squadron Artillery Hell.
A retired attorney and long time life member of the 2d Cavalry Association, Merritt was instrumental with the legal aspects of incorporating the 2d Cavalry Association. His dedication, devotion, service and contributions to both the 2d Cavalry Regiment and the 2d Cavalry Association are unmatched. He will be sorely missed.
Haigh-Black Funeral Home of Ormond, Florida are handling the arrangements. A viewing will be held on Monday 18 May, from 1600 – 1800, at the funeral home. The address is 167 Vining Ct, Ormond Beach, FL 32176.
The Funeral will be held on Tuesday 19 May 2015 at 1300 at Palm Cemetery, in Winter Park Florida. There will be a graveside ceremony only. Click here for maps and directions: http://www.haigh-black.com/memsol.cgi?user_id=1579247Read More

If you have a child with Hirschsprung disease, your chance of having more children with Hirschsprung disease is greater. Talk with your doctor about the risk.
Hirschsprung's Disease At A Glance
- Hirschsprung disease (HD) is a disease of the large intestine that causes severe constipation or intestinal obstruction. People with Hirschsprung disease are born with it.
- The large intestine, which includes the colon and rectum, is the last part of the digestive tract.
- The cause of Hirschsprung disease is unclear. Hirschsprung disease is not caused by anything a mother did while pregnant.
- The main symptoms of Hirschsprung disease are constipation or intestinal obstruction, usually appearing shortly after birth.
- Newborns with Hirschsprung disease almost always fail to have their first bowel movement within 48 hours after birth.
- Hirschsprung disease is diagnosed based on symptoms and test results.
- Hirschsprung disease is treated with surgery called a pull-through procedure.
- A child who has been very sick from Hirschsprung disease may need an ostomy to get better before the pull-through procedure.
- Most children pass stool normally after the pull-through procedure.
- People with Hirschsprung disease can suffer from an infection of the intestines, called enterocolitis, before or after surgery.
- If you have a child with Hirschsprung disease, your chance of having more children with Hirschsprung disease is greater.

Xia, Q; Gao, XG; Chu, W; Sorooshian, S (2012). Estimation of daily cloud-free, snow-covered areas from MODIS based on variational interpolation. WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH, 48, W09523.
AbstractNASA's MODIS global snow-covered area (SCA) products are one of the mission's major objectives that frequently contain cloud hindrances, which degrade their practical usability. Many techniques have been developed to mitigate the problem but with no assurance of eliminating all of the clouds. An image-processing algorithm with its kernel based on the variational interpolation theorem is developed to automatically obtain cloud-free dynamic SCA maps from MODIS. Two cases consisting of "accumulation" and "melting" phases are processed and validated using observations at 121 ground-snow sensors over the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. The results show that the algorithm cleared all the cloud hindrance over the period of study. In terms of accuracy, the retrieved cloud-free snow cover for the accumulation case had an average omission error of around 22.5% and average commission error of around 2.1%, as compared to all available ground sensors. These high percentages of errors basically came from the input data of Terra and Aqua, which had omission errors of 14.3% and 20.2% (and the commission errors of similar to 0.5%), respectively. For the melting case, when there were fewer clouds and hence more sensors available, the errors of omission and commission between the algorithm and direct observations from Terra and Aqua were close to each other (5.7-5.0% for omission and 0% for commission).

Post subject: Can anybody help?
It took a while to find the man I wanted to stay with forever and when I did, it never occurred to either of us there would be too much difficulty having a child. I have wanted a family for as long as I can remember, but several miscarriages, along with failed IVF treatment the message from the specialists was bleak. The moment I was told Youll probably never be able to have a child was a moment of indescribable anguish. There was one hope - we were told that a special gift of donated eggs might lead to a pregnancy. Would anyone be willing to be an egg donor to help us to have a baby? This child would have loads of love. We are under Guys ACU and we are asking Alison who works with them, to help us find someone. If you are a mum, under 34, healthy and pretty amazing we would love your help. You cannot imagine how grateful we would be.

I wish you so much luck in finding a donor as I know exactly how it feels waiting so long for a child
I have also had failed IVF but thankfully I am now waiting to start an Egg donor cycle using my sisters egsg so I am very, very lucky, Do you have family or friends who may be prepared to help you?
I hope you hear from someone who can help

Hi!!! If you are ready for donation, why don`t you trust the doctors? They would choose the donor which would be the best for you. The thing is that not her appearance is important. You must understand that the donor`s health condition is to pay attention to. Remember that the donor would be checked for genetic disorders. Moreover, the blood group influences a lot. So, trust the doctors. Of course if you clinic has high rates and the doctors there are professionals. Good luck)))

Hi Iwish4ababy,
I hope you will find your egg donor as soon as possible. Even if you do not find the person who will donate eggs for you,there still are clinics which offer infertility treatments. Many of which provide egg donation programs. And in some countries, for example in the Ukraine, the prices for such programs are really affordable!

All Sorts of Weird Stuff offers news and information about George R.R. Martin, in particular about his A Song of Ice and Fire series.
"When I was young, I read all sorts of stuff. One week it would be Lovecraft, the next Vance. It was all imaginative literature, or as my dad called it 'Weird Stuff.' It was all 'Weird Stuff.'"

New to the series? Read our spoiler-free review of A Game of Thrones.
Read our Privacy Policy.
We previously noted the "All-Century Poll" that Locus Magazine put together, which aimed to list the best SF/F of the 20th and 21st centuries respectively according to voters. In the novel categories, George R.R. Martin did quite well, with A Game of Thrones being voted the #2 fantasy novel of the 20th century (behind The Lords of the Rings, of course).
Now Locus has gone on to publish full results in the short fiction categories, and you'll spot a few George R.R. Martin works along the way. Most notably, Martin's famous science fiction/horror novellete, "Sandkings", ends up at #5 on the 20th Century Novelette list. Just missing the top 10 on the Novella list, on the other hand, is Martin's award-winning story "A Song for Lya", at #12 in the 20th Century Novella list. A number of Martin's other works appear in the extended list, and many of these can be found in the massive story collection Dreamsongs (Order: Volume 1, Volume 2, Kindle Bundle) which we always highly recommend to those who are fans of Martin's writing. The second volume also contains "The Hedge Knight", the first of the Dunk & Egg novellas set within the Seven Kingdoms about 90 years prior to the events of the novels—it's well worth reading in its own right.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

Volunteers keep alive? great Buffalo tradition
On Saturday, I plan to attend West Side Rowing Club's 100th Anniversary Celebration. It will be a wonderful opportunity to catch up with old friends and teammates.
Anticipating the event brings back memories of steel mill rows and conditioning runs, sunny days and sudden squalls off the lake, race festivities on the Black Rock Channel, and rewarding trips to St. Catharines and Washington. We learned the sport and a lot about ourselves. We had the chance to work out with world-class athletes (on conditioning runs with Jim "Chick" Hewson � we ran, he race-walked). We saw leadership and team-building at work from coaches like John Bennett and Charlie Fontana and oarsmen like Jim McMullen, Jim Wynne, Sonny Fox, Bob Uhl and Bobby Sauerwein, all great role models. We learned to ask more of ourselves than we might otherwise from men like these. The West Side experience also made possible college scholarships for many over the years (including, in my day, several from Hutchinson Tech, Bishop Timon and my old school, Bishop Fallon). We alumni owe much to WSRC.
The announcement of the 100th Anniversary Celebration promises there will be "no boring speeches," which is a safe harbor from having to thank so many who make it all happen. WSRC's success is due in large part to the selfless contributions of time and talent of volunteers like Bill Fleming, Doc Schaab, Bob Uhl and many others. Volunteering continues to this day and with some, like the Cotters and Schaabs, it's a family affair. You won't find their names on buildings or even on the website, but many of these West Siders have put in over 50 years of volunteer work and have earned our gratitude for keeping alive a great Buffalo tradition.

Williamsville schools? could do a better job
On Aug. 19, The News had a graphic in the paper analyzing Williamsville School statistics. As a former teacher and current city resident, I have heard the endless derision from the 'burbs about how superior suburban education is. I am curious as to why Williamsville gets a free pass on the mockery and ridicule.
According to the numbers, Williamsville spends more than $14,000 per student, has only 10 percent of its students on free or reduced lunch, 2 percent of the students are learning with limited English and less than 10 percent of students are in a special education program. To enhance these numbers, the school has a 96 percent attendance rate. In spite of all of these statistical advantages, Williamsville manages a graduation rate of only 92.6 percent. Residents should be outraged, not boastful!
How is it that one of the school districts that is consistently held up as an example of great education can't even manage to get its graduation rate as high as its attendance rate? Stop pointing at the city and telling us how inferior our education is. Clearly the numbers do not bear this out.

Senior citizens must? stand up and be heard
The senior population is growing and demographics are on our side. The older population increased 11.2 percent from 1997 to 2007. Americans ages 65 and older now number 37.9 million. On average, we retire at 64 and can expect to live another 16 years. It is estimated there are more than 500,000 union retirees in our state. We can be a formidable agent for good government and senior rights in our community if we work together; priorities have included actions to protect Social Security, Medicare, retiree pensions and health care benefits.
The power of dedicated retirees cannot be underestimated. Act as community ambassadors and effectively promote the needs and interests of retirees and working people. Seniors are respected and have outstanding voting records.
That is why this presidential election is so important; the issues are clear and seniors hold the key to how our government will govern. Private and public sector run businesses want us to believe we must learn to live with less � killing the American dream. Let's not be the last to retire.

Obama did not remove? work rules from welfare
I was dismayed to see the publication of a blatantly untrue op-ed from a Heritage Foundation writer in the Aug. 19 Viewpoints section. In it, the writer made the statement that President Obama had written a memo that removed the work requirements from welfare. This assertion is untrue. It has been fact checked by numerous news organizations and has been found as lacking any manner of truth. Politifact gave it its worst rating, "Pants on Fire" as did the Washington Post (four pinnochios). FactCheck.org, a non-partisan website, also found no validity in the statement.
Any reading of the directive itself should put an end to this argument. The directive clearly states, "The secretary is only interested in approving waivers if the state can explain in a compelling fashion why the proposed approach may be a more efficient or effective means to promote employment entry, retention, advancement, or access to jobs that offer opportunities for earnings and advancement that will allow participants to avoid dependence on government benefits."
How can that be construed as gutting the work requirement? Put aside the facts that these waivers were requested by Republican governors, and that similar waivers were requested by Gov. Mitt Romney back in 2005. The evidence is clear that Obama's memo does not in any way take the work requirement out of welfare. The fact is this memo's purpose is to increase the employment rate for those on welfare. That fact is indisputable.

President deserves? another four years
Mitt Romney's ideas are the same as President George W. Bush's ideas, which were responsible for the deepest recession since the Great Depression. Trickle-down economics didn't work then and it won't work now. President Obama saved the auto industry, which is back on its feet with people providing for their families. He also got Osama bin Laden, who would be planning his next attack.
The health care reform the president passed prevents insurance companies from capping your coverage because you have a pre-existing condition. Seniors have saved hundreds on prescription drugs and young people can stay on their parents' insurance until age 26. Obama has doubled Pell grants, helping 4 million students afford education. He fought for tax cuts for working families and small businesses, not for a tax cut for himself and billionaires like Romney. Obama fought for equal pay for equal work and signed the Fair Pay Act. He did it for women who are now breadwinners for their families. I will vote for Obama. He deserves another four years to get us out of the mess it took Bush eight years to create.

We characterize some properties of the zero crossings of the Laplacian of signals¿in particular images¿filtered with linear filters, as a function of the scale of the filter (extending recent work by Witkin [16]). We prove that in any dimension the only filter that does not create generic zero crossings as the scale increases is the Gaussian. This result can be generalized to apply to level crossings of any linear differential operator: it applies in particular to ridges and ravines in the image intensity. In the case of the second derivative along the gradient, there is no filter that avoids creation of zero crossings, unless the filtering is performed after the derivative is applied.

Club news
The membership of the Tampa Bay Chapter of the Institute of Engineering Technologies UK recently provided a generous grant to the youth of Cub Scout Pack 400, chartered by St. John's Episcopal Church, Clearwater.
The grant, for the continuation of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Robotics Program and for the purchase of two additional Lego robotics kits and accessories, was presented March 12 at the Clearwater Yacht Club.

IF Wonderboy was on sale at the walmart, I would tell you to go get him right now and keep him with you always, through all your great times, through all your not so great times, through all your worse than not so great times.
Cause, I can think back to times when I needed a solution to something, he was quick to provide a thoughtful answer..If I needed to just complain, and vent about things, he listened and made me laugh at those things and learn something...This guy truly keeps the crossover network in my brain working..
All in All,
Wonderboy has an ability to reduce the complex to the simple, and to me that is True Genius.

Not only do I enjoy long walks on the beach, I arrive early to pick up litter and rescue starfish.
I am able to bicycle up steep inclines.
I consult with the FAA to plan safer routes for migratory birds.
During my lunch break, I recycle enough office paper to save 3.7 acres of rain forest.
I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail.
At night, I transcribe the proceedings of the Baltimore City Council into Braille.
I am the proud breeder of a fleet of champion Beagles.
I do not perspire.

Once, I rescued hostages from an Iranian prison using only a magnifying glass and a spork.
Gary Kasparov consults me on chess.
After liberating research monkeys, I employ them to review tax returns for the IRS.
I am an ace at blackjack, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Nicaragua.

But it ended closer to 11 p.m., not because of poor planning the annual fund-raising Gala is a paradigm of how to throw yourself a congratulatory party while increasing the coffers but because there was just so much important stuff to get through.
Artistic director Helgi Tomasson was congratulated for his 20 years at the helm of what is now an internationally recognized dance company by a smart, well-made video. Talking heads ranging from Mark Morris to London's senior dance critic Clement Crisp lauded Tomasson and SFB.
During the congratulations, someone on stage dropped the factoid that SFB had been "in the black" for 13 years. I doubt any other major performing arts organization in the country can match this impressive record. And so finally on to the dancing.
Tomasson opened his program, as he always does, with students from the school, perfectly executing simple, but eloquent, sliding steps to the "Polonaise" from Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin."
Balanchine's "Tarantella" (music by Gottschalk) is an old favorite, but it got off to a rocky start musically, with dancers Vanessa Zahorian and Nicolas Blanc slightly behind conductor Andrew Mogrelia's beat.
Frederick Ashton's ethereal "Thais" duet (music by Massenet) found Katita Waldo and Vadim Solomakha having been beautifully schooled by Anthony Dowell, the original male lead. After that, the "Bluebird" pas de deux from Tchaikovsky's "The Sleeping Beauty" (Elizabeth Miner and Guennadi Nedviguine) seemed earthbound.
Mixing musical styles for variety, Tomasson presented excerpts from "Terra Firma" (music by Michael Torke, choreography by James Kudelka and danced by Kristin Long and Damian Smith) and "In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated" (music by Thom Willems, choreography by William Forsythe, danced by Muriel Maffre and Pierre-Francois Vilanoba).
Then he topped them both with his own "Concerto Grosso" (music by Geminiani after Corelli), the Gala stunner from 2003, with four handsome boys from the corps led on a wildly virtuoso chase by Pascal Molat.
After the extended intermission, we got a taste of Lar Lubovitch's Richard Rodgers ballet, "Smile With My Heart," to be seen in full next week on subscription Program 1. With David Kadarauch and Michael McGraw playing the composer's own arrangement of "My Funny Valentine," Tina LeBlanc and Stephen Legate purred through Lubovitch's sweetly intimate connections.
The meaty program before surrendering its gravitas to the hilariously tawdry pas de deux from Minkus' "Don Quixote" (Lorena Feijoo and Joan Boada predictably brought down the house) and to the totally swoony balcony scene from Prokofiev's "Romeo and Juliet" (Yuan Yuan Tan and Yuri Possohkov) sprang two surprises.
"Sin Regreso" (to taped music of Philip Glass, including train sounds) is choreographer Myriam Agar's reflection on the 2004 Madrid train bombing. It was made expressly for Gonzalo Garcia, who danced with passion and grace.
Tomasson's own world premiere, "Bagatelles" (to piano music of Bela Bartok, played in the pit by Roy Bogas), seemed possibly too tasteful and austere for a gala. Moises Martin, Sarah Van Patten, and the new Thai soloist, Nutnaree Pipit-Suksun, danced in Yumiko Takeshima's shimmering turquoise unitards.
The "I Got Rhythm" ensemble from Balanchine's "Who Cares?" ended the exhausting evening on a high note.
Next week, the real thing, as the 72nd SFB season commences Feb. 1.

C 52. The Rule of Saint Benedict prescribes that "before the entire community and in the presence of God and his saints the novice is to promise stability, conversion through a monastic way of life, and obedience" (RB 58: 17-18). The three elements contained in this promise are not meant to exhaust the full range of the monk's self-offering. Rather, they are mutually related aspects of the one total commitment of the monk to prefer nothing to Christ by taking up the monastic way of life.
C 53. By his profession of stability the monk commits himself to perseverance in the monastic community of his profession until death (cf. RB 4:78; Prol 50). This commitment binds the monk not only to the community of a particular locality but especially to the monastic way of life of that community. By strengthening the monk's resolve to remain in loving service of his Lord and his brothers within the concrete circumstances of his own monastic family, such stability fosters his abiding in the love of Christ (cf. Jn 15:10,12).
C 54. By his profession of conversion through a monastic way of life (conversatio morum), the monk commits himself to the persevering exercise of monastic discipline and self-denial that school him for growth towards the fullness of love (cf. RB Prol 45-49; 7:67). The ascetical labor of sharing in Christ's passion by dying to sin and by leaving unchosen many things of great value for the sake of the Kingdom leads to the life and freedom of the resurrection (cf. RB Prol 50). This paschal character of the monastic way of life shines forth in the monk's following of Christ in his poverty and celibate love.
C 54.1. The poverty that the monk embraces in the monastic way of life has its source in Christ's total dispossession of himself for love of his Father and the world and finds its model in the first Christian community, "where all things were held in common" (cf. Phil 2:6-8; Acts 4:32; RB 33). Benedictine poverty directs the monk towards a spiritual dependence on Christ as represented by the abbot, towards a radical interdependence among the brothers by a mutual sharing of goods, and towards a reverent and responsible use of material things so that in everything glory be given to God (cf., e.g., RB 31-34; 53:15; 57:8-9). To this end, in accordance with the proper law of the Congregation, the monk renounces, by his temporary profession, the free use and administration of his property; by his solemn profession he renounces his property absolutely and loses the capacity to acquire and possess property (CIC 598.1; 600).
D 54.1. 1. Before his temporary profession a novice is to sign a document, valid in civil law, ceding the administration of his temporal goods to whomever he chooses and making disposition for their use and their revenues (CIC 668.1; see Appendix 3). He is likewise to make provision for the disposition of any income that may accrue to him by way of pension, subsidy, or insurance in any way whatever (cf. CIC 668.3).
D 54.1. 2. With the consent of the abbot, the person of the administrator and the terms of administration may be changed during the period of temporary profession.
D 54.2. 1. Before his solemn profession a monk is to sign a document, valid in civil law and effective on the date of his solemn profession, giving his property to whomever he chooses.
D 54.2. 2. He is also to sign a document of renunciation (see Appendix 4) and a last will and testament, both documents valid in civil law and contingent upon his solemn profession, determining that whatever he may acquire after solemn profession is acquired for and in the name of his monastic community. The current abbot and his successors in the office of abbot are to be named as the executor of the last will and testament (cf. CIC 668).
C 54.2. In foregoing marriage and family in order to enter into the life of his monastic community, the monk responds to the God who loved him first and calls him to prefer absolutely nothing to the love of Christ (RB 4:21). The monk's commitment to a celibate life of total continence (CIC 599) serves as a sign that a new age has dawned with Christ and as a means of transforming all his human powers of loving into a living sacrament of God's love.
C 55. By his profession of obedience the monk seeks to enter more fully into that mystery of loving obedience whereby Christ, fulfilling his Father's will, laid down his life for all and opened for the future the hope of the resurrection. Through his listening for and heeding of God's will as it is mediated to him both by his abbot and by the needs of his brothers, the monk seeks to express the lordship of Christ over his entire life (cf. RB 5:12-13). It is in this spirit that the monk binds himself to obey his superiors, including the Supreme Pontiff (CIC 590.2), in accordance with the Rule of Saint Benedict and the proper law of the Congregation (CIC 598.1; 601).

Pro and con: Glad universal background checks bill got disarmed; Shame on John Cornyn, Ted Cruz for voting against it
Disarm N. Korea, not U.S.
It was good hearing President Obama admit defeat of his bill for expanding background checks for gun purchases. Along with him was Joe Biden, with a really long face. Also with him were Newtown parents, who expressed dismay that the supposed 90 percent of Americans who supported this bill couldn't get it passed in the Democrat-controlled Senate.
Where did they get 90 percent anyway? One of the problems is that this government is selective in which laws they enforce. Obama's regime doesn't enforce immigrations laws, marijuana laws or current gun laws. Case in point: David Gregory of NBC.
Every one of these people with the president today are blaming the NRA for all the gun violence in America. It wasn't an NRA member who shot up those kids in Newtown!
I applaud the Senate and the NRA for protecting our Second Amendment rights. I would think disarming Iran or North Korea would be more important than disarming America.
Robert Richter, Seagoville
Shame on Cornyn, Cruz
Shame on senators Cornyn and Cruz for voting against the Manchin-Toomey amendment, which would have created universal background checks on all gun sales. Background checks are a small but important improvement in gun laws, but our Texas senators have embarrassed our state in the face of literally overwhelming support for this measure.
Their minds remain fixated on conspiracy-laden viewpoints of the gun lobby rather than the public's anguished calls for modest relief from gun violence.

Meriden Puerto Rican Festival Committee hosts Latin Gala
Meriden Puerto Rican Festival Committee hosts Latin Gala
MERIDEN — The recent successes of the city's Puerto Rican Festival led organizers to develop a second major event to act as a fundraiser.
This Saturday the Meriden Puerto Rican Festival Committee will host a Latin Gala at the Four Points by Sheraton on Research Parkway. In previous years, committee member Michael S. Rohde said, an organization held a similar event, but it has not been held recently.
"The Puerto Rican Festival has been a wonderful success...so we wanted to do a second event," Rohde said. "There was a Meriden Hispanic Foundation that used to do a big dance at the Knights of Columbus, but since it stopped, nothing has been comparable. So we planned this big event with Latin flavor, so that's why we're doing this."
The event will feature live music from DJ Rico, in addition to Pedro Valentin. Valentin is a longtime resident of the state and recent winner of a Paoli award. Los Premios Paoli, or The Paoli Awards, honors artists and musicians in the Latin American community each year. Committee Chairman Hector Cardona said the live music should make for an entertaining evening.
"This is just something to have a good time for a couple of hours," Cardona said. "We want to just enjoy the night and thank the people for being at the festival and being a part of it."
Four local people will be honored with awards being given by the committee for their community work. Among them is Beat the Street Director Larry Pelletier, Martin Luther King Jr. Scholarship Breakfast Chairwoman Rhudean Raye, general manager at Four Points Yvonne DeAngeli-Fontanez, and Valentin Karate owner Efrain Valentin. Each award recipient also has various other involvement in the community.
Cardona said each community activist is deserving of the award and applauded them for their involvement.
"There are a lot of people in Meriden we would like to acknowledge, but we can't do it all in one shot," Cardona said.
"These are people who worked hard in the community and deserve the acknowledgment to let people know they're working hard, countless hours with the community to make it a positive community."
The event will be held from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday. For tickets, call (203) 537-0117 or (203) 915-7846.

After a Decade, Pierre Cardin Returns to the Runway
Pierre Cardin's space-age outfits seemed futuristic in the 1960s.
But when several dozen new versions took a spin down the Paris runway Wednesday, they looked like a retrospective.
The 88-year old designer hasn't shown a Paris runway collection in 10 years, and he made up for lost time Wednesday with a marathon 45-minute show of 300 outfits.
That's three times as long and five times as many clothes as even the biggest fashion houses – and the way many houses used to show their collections before the fast pace of short clothing seasons and rushed buyers and editors took over.
Mr. Cardin said the collection wasn't a retrospective, and that he's not backward-looking. His inspiration came from lasers and satellites, to produce something contemporary and futuristic. But he believes that what looked good 40 years ago is still current today.
"What you need to do is strike hard and then be copied," Mr. Cardin said backstage. "It's a sign you're a designer when you're copied."
Cutting-edge designers such Balenciaga's Nicolas Ghesquiere have drawn from Cardin's looks, but moved them forward in a way Mr. Cardin didn't do Wednesday.
The name Pierre Cardin may ring a bell – perhaps you have some of his underwear, or an umbrella, cigarette lighter or a PC tablet. In the 1970s and 80s, Mr. Cardin began farming out his name to anyone who would pay a fee to put it on their products; the licensing wave he started tarnished the designer fashion industry for more than a decade.
Now brands such as Dior and Gucci have reeled in their license businesses, while Mr. Cardin's name is still spread wide.
But Mr. Cardin says he still loves designing clothes the most. He threw everything into Wednesday's collection – men's and women's, summer and winter, sportswear and formal wear. The show decor was underwhelming: gray plastic conference chairs were lined up in two rows of unassigned seating, and the models walked on the gray office carpet that covered the floor of the Espace Cardin rental hall.
The first looks were a throwback to Cardin's heyday: men's and women's catsuits in fuschia, brown or purple with stiff hoops accentuating the hips, knees and elbows. Accessories were just as outrageous. A man wore a mini tire around his wrist. Women strutted in extra-large hats in the shape of cherries or cones.
Then he followed with less iconic a-line minidresses with a rainbow of narrow stripes around the arm holes and hem. Boxy silk-print jackets were paired with polyester trousers. "They're very commercial," Mr. Cardin said. "I mixed in some retail pieces because I need to sell."
Now Mr. Cardin is thinking about the future of his company. He said he is close to selling it, but would not say who the buyer is.
"It's almost done but not completed," he said. He wants to ensure the future of his company. "But if I was 20 years younger, I wouldn't do it."

Cristina Lei Rodriguez | Store Windows (Walgreens, South Beach), 2012 | site-specific installation | Courtesy of the artist and Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Miami
Location: Walgreens Windows, 2300 Collins Ave, Miami Beach (23rd St. and Collins Ave.)
Cristina Lei Rodriguez (b. 1974, Miami, FL) lives and works in Miami. Her work has been exhibited widely internationally at institutions and private collections including Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo; Serpentine Gallery, London; Miami Art Museum, Miami; de la Cruz Collection, Miami; The Rubell Family Collection; and 2nd Athens Biennale, Greece among others. She has had solo exhibitions at Fredric Snitzer Gallery, Miami; Team Gallery, New York; Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin, Miami/Paris; and Brand New Gallery, Milan.
Artist statement:
"My sculpture making practice is a negotiated balance between being both impulsive and intentional about the forms I make. I experiment freely within a strict set of ideas that tie the work together. This allows me to work intuitively in the studio where I work messy and quick. Materials are crushed, broken, mended and embellished — a cycle of being deconstructed and put back together in modernist inspired form. Sculptures are made from plastic, paper, plaster, paint, glue and selected objects that range from the precious to the forgettable. "
Store Windows (Walgreens, South Beach)
"A store window is part of the city we experience every day. The window is an opportunity for goods to be desired, and for the store to communicate what they are about through a visual language we all speak – shopping. My objects are abstract sculptures made from the same materials that one expects to see on display — glittery objects on acrylic pedestals, plastic, shiny and new. Yet my objects are hard to pin down. They have a polished appearance, at once organic and minimalist, in a glamorous and sanitized vision of nature that reveals a strong tension between the natural and the artificial, omnipresent in the landscape of Miami, the city where I am from."

Morning Briefing: Region Watching Euro Equities, PPI
- Local/GMT
- 0900/0700 Richter CEO at 2Q earnings press conference
- 1130/0930 Hungary 3-month T-bill auction
Central Europe will see more roller-coaster trade Tuesday amid a dearth of local events, as Western European corporate earnings and euro-zone producer price data maintain the spotlight and serve as an indicator of the continent's economic outlook.
Regional equity markets are expected to trace gains and losses of their peers, namely in Germany, while the Polish zloty and Hungarian forint should see continued volatility.
The Royal Bank of Canada views the forint as a good bet vis-à-vis the zloty and Czech koruna, thanks to Hungary's hefty current account surplus.
The koruna is expected to see less volatile trade than its peers ahead of the Czech central bank meeting later this week, at which policy makers are expected to leave interest rates steady.
U.S. House members voted to increase the debt ceiling and cut $2.1 trillion from the budget deficit Monday evening, sending a historic blueprint for the nation's fiscal future on to the Senate, which is expected to pass it Tuesday. Lawmakers sought to avert an economic disaster the day before the nation could begin defaulting on some obligations.
POLAND: Poland's central government budget deficit in the period January through the end of July reached 21.1 billion zlotys ($7.65 billion), 52.6% of the full-year plan for 2011, the finance ministry said in a statement Monday.
POLAND: Poland's finance ministry will offer bonds maturing in 2015 and 2021 at a switching auction Thursday in exchange for papers maturing in August, September and November 2011, the ministry said in a statement.
CZECH REPUBLIC: Dutch postal company PostNL (PNL.AE) said Monday it has completed the sale of its addressed and unaddressed Mail activities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to ID Marketing.
CZECH REPUBLIC: The Czech Republic's state budget deficit narrowed in the first seven months of 2011, compared with the corresponding period a year earlier, as the government reined in expenditure and benefited from higher tax collections.
HUNGARY: Hungarian financial watchdog Pszaf has launched an online calculator to help troubled household mortgage holders find out how much their monthly instalments would change if they signed up for a government scheme fixing the exchange rate of the Swiss franc, which set a new record against the forint Monday.
ROMANIA: Romanian foreign exchange reserves fell to EUR32.68 billion in July from EUR34.4 billion a month earlier, news agency Mediafax reported, citing central bank data released Monday.

ROMNEY - Hampshire assistant coach Bryan Beverage walked off the practice field Monday saying the weather was for the ducks.
The Trojans took the field for their second practice of the day, and a light rain started to fall. As the practice progressed, so did the rain, leaving everyone dripping wet by the final whistle.
It didn't hinder the players' attitudes, though, as the rain seemed to hype the guys up even more.

The Hampshire football team works on defensive drills during a rainy practice Monday. The Trojans lost a few key players from last season but are looking forward to the coming season with some young talent.
"They get excited about practicing in the rain, something different. They like it," Hampshire coach Darren Grace said. "It's the first day it's rained. Practice has been going good.
"The weather's been great for football practice, hasn't been too hot, and getting a lot done, I think, as far as the kids being in decent shape, and the weather's not real hot. We're getting a lot of reps in. The kids aren't getting as tired as easy with the low humidty. It's been good so far."
Hampshire ran practice for the second day in pads as the players got ready for full contact Tuesday.
"They get excited to put the pads on, and we can make contact tomorrow, so they're excited about that," Grace said.
As pumped as the players were, there were a few familiar faces missing from the Trojans roster.
Key players like Shane Ennis and Dane Heavener graduated, leaving some holes for Hampshire. However, the coaching staff is pleased with the players stepping into those roles.
"I'm happy with our quarterback filling Shane's spot. I don't think he's got as strong of arm as Shane had, but he's pretty accurate, and he's working hard. He's only a junior, so I got him for two more years. He's a big target like Shane was," Grace said.
"He's taller than Shane at 6-foot-3, throws a pretty accurate ball, needs to get a little strength in his arm, but we're happy with Jordan Grapes right now as our quarterback. Dane, it's hard to fill his speed. We're still looking. I don't think we have anybody as fast as he was on the outside, but we're gonna have a couple new receivers that do a good job. They're more possession guys than speed guys."
It's not just the positions the younger players have stepped up into either. They've happily taken over leadership roles, impressing Grace with how hard the players are working already.
"We have some kids that I'm really happy's stepping up. They worked hard all summer and even all winter. Andrew Thomas is a hustler and a scrapper for us. He works hard in the weight room and on the practice field," Grace said. "As far as doing what you're supposed to do on the practice field and game field, Zach Rhodes is big for us as far as leader on defense.
"Dalton Pritts is a big leader on defense, and on the offensive side of the ball, I think, Jordan Grapes has stepped up in the quarterback spot leading our offense."
It was easy to see the new leaders stepping up as the Trojans worked through drills. Players would help coach their teammates through the exercise and demonstrate the right technique whenever needed, something that has helped the Trojans get a lot of work in during practices.
"We've been working, basically splitting it up into some special teams, some offense and defense. We got a lot of defense in right now compared to what we had in the past. We have a lot coverages in. Blitz package is in. I think we're further ahead defensively than we were last year at this time," Grace said. "Offensively, I think we're right on schedule with putting stuff in and learning. A lot less work on our passing game right now than the run game. We worked a lot on the run, so I think this week we'll be picking up the pass game a little bit and installing a few more passes and the protection."
As the players trekked up the hill through the rain at the end of practice, the young players buzzed with excitement about the coming season. For many, it's the beginning of what could be a few more good seasons for the Trojans.
"A lot of the guys have stepped up and stepped into a position. A lot of sophomores and juniors. We're gonna play some sophomores and a lot of juniors," Grace said. "Our senior class is probably, I think we have 10 kids in our senior class. So it's not like last year when we had 14 or 15. And for us, a class of 14 or 15 is good numbers."

Tadpole Update
By lskrocki on Oct 07, 2008
The batch of tadpole eggs from June is still producing frogs. I must have missed the lesson in school that the rate they mature varies wildly. Since it's now fall in Colorado & since the night temps are expected to drop below freezing this week, I setup a small indoor tank to rescue 12 slow growers and provide a fun learning experience for the family (plus, I'm a sucker for critters in need).
I'll release them into a local natural pond (their native habitat) when it's warm -- let's just hope the family enjoys the charming sound of their nightly serenades in the meantime.

For The Journal
CHARLES TOWN - The Washington Patriots believe they are a force to be reckoned with, and with a 3-0 victory over the St. Maria Goretti Gaels, they confirmed that point.
Article Video

However, for Washington coach Tim Michael, the team is just getting up to speed.
"We're starting to gel. We're putting in a new system, and now they are starting to execute it better," Michael said. "All in all, I'm happy with what I'm seeing so far."
Michael had to be happy after the Patriots sent 15 of their 20 shots on goal, and their defense limited the Gaels to just three shots.

Journal photo by Ron Agnir
Washington's Devyn Hosby, left, and St. Maria Goretti's Lauree Lorensen scramble to get the ball after a collision in front of the goal during the second half of their game Monday.
Washington controlled the tempo and possession from the early going, but was unable to convert any of its early scoring opportunities into goals.
After their first three shots posed little threat to the Gaels, the Patriots pounded the next four shots on goal and began to expose a few holes in Goretti's defense.
Washington finally broke through when midfielder Amy Stewart dribbled down to the out of bounds line and crossed the ball to midfielder Rachael Kauffman, who buried it in the back of the net to give the Patriots a 1-0 lead in the 29th minute.
"It was important to show we were going to keep that pressure up all game, and it was going to eventually go in," Kauffman said. "And finally, it went in."
The Patriots kept the pressure on in the second half, and it turned into more scoring.
Kayde Gustavel took a rebound of a Gael defender and shot from the 18-yard line, lifting the ball over Goretti goalkeeper Lauree Lorensen and into the far side of the net to give Washington a 2-0 lead in the 45th minute.
Midfielder Angel Dixon added another goal in the 65th minute after a corner kick bounced off several players before Dixon settled the ball and shot toward the far post to give the Patriots a 3-0 lead.
"I was worried it wasn't going to go in. She had it for a second, then it went through her fingers. It worked out in my favor," Dixon said.
Despite the lapses on defense, Gaels coach Mark Barone was pleased with his team's first outing of the season.
"They did what I expected them to do. They just had some momentary lapses on defense," Barone said. "Unfortunately we didn't get chance to put it in the back of the net. I have a young team, and I was happy with what I saw in the first game of the season."
For each team, the future will see how well they mesh and come together as a team.

AbstractFood quality monitoring, particularly foreign object detection, has recently become a critical issue for the food industry. In contrast to X-ray imaging, terahertz imaging can provide a safe and ionizing-radiation-free nondestructive inspection method for foreign object sensing. In this work, a quasi-Bessel beam (QBB) known to be nondiffracting was generated by a conical dielectric lens to detect foreign objects in food samples. Using numerical evaluation via the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, the beam profiles of a QBB were evaluated and compared with the results obtained via analytical calculation and experimental characterization (knife edge method, point scanning method). The FDTD method enables a more precise estimation of the beam profile. Foreign objects in food samples, namely crickets, were then detected with the QBB, which had a deep focus and a high spatial resolution at 210 GHz. Transmitted images using a Gaussian beam obtained with a conventional lens were compared in the sub-terahertz frequency experimentally with those using a QBB generated using an axicon.

By now you've probably heard that Jake Owen popped the question to longtime girlfriend and video co-star Lacey Buchanan onstage at a hometown show in Vero Beach, Fla.
But before he even considered placing the 2.5-carat oval-cut diamond on the finger of his now fiancée, Lacey, Jake was faced with the one task that has forever caused terror in the hearts of men: He had to ask her father.
"The first time I met him, he said, 'Look, if you have any plans whatsoever of breaking my daughter's heart, you might as well let her go right now,'" Jake tells CountryWeekly.com with a laugh. "He told me that if she ever came crying to him that I had broken her heart, he would go ahead and hunt me down."
And while many a man would have ran straight through the screen door at that point, Jake persevered. Four months later, he returned to ask Lacey's father for permission to take her hand in marriage.
"It's really hard for people to sometimes understand my business and my lifestyle," says the 30-year-old. "I know any father of someone dating a guy like myself had to be a bit leery, but I told him that he had absolutely nothing to worry about."
So now, the planning for the lavish wedding ceremony begins . . . or does it? "My life has always been about keeping things simple and I don't see either one of us spending a long time planning a wedding," he says. "I have a lot going on this summer touring with Kenny [Chesney] and Tim [McGraw] and a lot going into the fall and, well, we just love this time of the year. We are both from Florida, so we are thinking it will be a cool, laid-back sunrise service on the beach. We might have a guy playing a little nylon-string guitar or something. I bet our wedding doesn't last for more than 10 or 15 minutes. We love the idea of starting the day fresh . . . a dawn-of-a-new-day sort of deal."

Michael Fitzgerald">
Diane Disney Miller, Walt Disney's eldest daughter, and by some accounts the inspiration for Disneyland, died last week. She was 79. Believe it or not, there's a Stockton angle.
Diane Disney married college sweetheart Ron Miller. After working for Disney, Ron Miller founded Napa Valley's renowned Silverado Winery - and co-founded Silverado Broadcasting.
In the 1990s, Silverado started by buying Stockton stations: KWG and sister station KYBB, KWIN, KCVR and KJOY, before moving to acquisitions in Modesto and Reno.
Stockton radio people were astonished. "The people there were like, 'Good God, we're owned by the heir of Mickey Mouse,' " said former radio personality Bill Slayter.
To this day, almost nobody knows Disney's daughter had an interest in Stockton radio. Diane Disney Miller wanted it that way.
"Ron and Diane both were that way," said Roy Williams, who managed Silverado's cluster of stations. "They were just very private people. They didn't want anyone to think of them any different than Ron and Diane Miller."
Silverado sold its stations in the 2000s. But the radio people from that era remember hobnobbing with Diane Disney Miller.
"She was a very dynamic person," Williams said. "Can you imagine, growing up as the daughter of Walt Disney?"

Vanity Fair
by William Makepeace Thackeray
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
She had mastered this rude coarse nature; and he loved and worshipped her with all his faculties of regard and admiration. In all his life he had never been so happy, as, during the past few months, his wife had made him. All former delights of turf, mess, hunting-field, and gambling-table; all previous loves and courtships of milliners, opera-dancers, and the like easy triumphs of the clumsy military Adonis, were quite insipid when compared to the lawful matrimonial pleasures which of late he had enjoyed. (30.6)
Translation: One-night stands can't compete with good old-fashioned married sex.
Quote #8
Rebecca was a good economist, and the price poor Jos Sedley had paid for her two horses was in itself sufficient to keep their little establishment afloat for a year, at the least; there was no occasion to turn into money "my pistols, the same which I shot Captain Marker," or the gold dressing-case, or the cloak lined with sable. Becky had it made into a pelisse for herself, in which she rode in the Bois de Boulogne to the admiration of all: and you should have seen the scene between her and her delighted husband, whom she rejoined after the army had entered Cambray, and when she unsewed herself, and let out of her dress all those watches, knick-knacks, bank-notes, cheques, and valuables, which she had secreted in the wadding, previous to her meditated flight from Brussels! Tufto was charmed, and Rawdon roared with delighted laughter, and swore that she was better than any play he ever saw, by Jove. And the way in which she jockeyed Jos, and which she described with infinite fun, carried up his delight to a pitch of quite insane enthusiasm. (34.72)
This image of Becky's money-tinged striptease is a very nice way to conflate the interest of those around her (sex) with her own (financial security). This is a literal representation of the constant connection in the novel between the sexual release for men that women bring to relationships and the wealth and material well-being that men bring. Of course, in Becky's case, she has to bring both – and here, she is doing just that.

Saurabh Mukherjea, Head of Equities, Ambit Capital in an interview with ET Now talks about banking stocks.
What are you doing with banking stocks?
In an economic downturn, it is never a particularly clever idea to be buying banks. India's economic downturn has at least 2-3 more quarters of softening in GDP growth. I would not be going too close to banking stocks at this juncture. We are at least three, probably more like six months away from buying banks wholeheartedly.
