sense the loss and the grief and the pain as if it happened yesterday. The
sculptures of the chairs representing the victims of the bombing is haunting and
it?s difficult to look away when you?re standing there, looking across an open
field, knowing just how many people died as a result of that terrible day.
if the souls of those who died there remain, serving as a reminder of what
happened and what we need to do as a society to prevent such an unspeakable act
from happening again.
there wasn?t much talking. A National Parks employee stood by the pool,
answering questions if anyone wanted to know anything about the memorial or the
bombing but otherwise, there was silence under a brilliant blue fall sky.
had planned on doing ever since I was told I?d be headed to Oklahoma for the
Bricktown Showdown. I lost friends on 9/11 at the World Trade Center and have
watched in wonder how the folks planning the memorial and rebuilding in downtown
Manhattan have bungled the whole thing almost from the outset.
the private sector have mishandled the whole operation. So much so, it would
probably behoove them to pay a visit to the Memorial here if they haven?t
already and see just how quickly and respectfully a plan was enacted after the
bombing took place.

what happened on 9/11 as something catastrophic but also as something that took
place somewhere else. I?ve spoken to people in California, Arizona and Colorado
about 9/11 and what happened in New York and Washington and Pennsylvania that
day and they don?t understand the magnitude of it all.

of being violated pops up every time I drive into the city as well, knowing that
as great a city as it is, it will never be the same.
knowing that many of them were children, I realized that as a New Yorker, I
never fully understood what happened here or the impact it had. And while I?m
not sure I completely understand now, having visited the memorial certainly gave
me a better idea of what the brave people in this community endured.
We PITY the fool
By now, we're hoping you know that PITY stands for Pitcher of the Year. Over the last few weeks, we've been throwing names out there on the ol' radio show, Around the Minors (still heard, by the way, on MLB Radio every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 12-1 p.m. ET).
So, here it is late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. But we didn't want to wait any longer than necessary to start getting your votes on who you think the overall Minor League Pitcher of the Year is. You can either comment down below or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, with a subject line of MINORS and we'll tally the fan vote.
So, without further ado, here's a list of the pitchers we've unofficially nominated for PITY in 2006 (they are listed in order of when we brought them up on the show):
Matt Garza, Twins
Jason Hirsh,
Chuck Lofgren, Indians
Yovani Gallardo, Brewers
Kevin Slowey, Twins
Scott Elbert, Dodgers
Brian Anderson, Giants
Scott Lewis, Indians
Jason Windsor, A's
Sonnanstine, Devil Rays
Matt Maloney, Phillies
Will Inman, Brewers
Philip Hughes, Yankees
Happy voting all! Vote early and often.

South Korean tourists killed in Sinai bombing
CAIRO -- An explosion tore through a bus filled with South Korean sightseers in the Sinai Peninsula on Sunday, killing at least four people and raising fears that Islamic militants have renewed a bloody campaign to wreck Egypt's tourism industry.
The bombing near the tip of the Red Sea's Gulf of Aqaba was the first attack against tourists in Sinai in nearly a decade.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. But the blast bore the hallmarks of attacks blamed on the al-Qaida-linked militant groups that have been battling government forces in Sinai's restive north for years.
At least three South Korean tourists were killed and 12 seriously wounded, according to Egyptian security officials. The Egyptian bus driver was also among the dead, the officials said.
"I am deeply saddened by the incident," Tourism Minister Hesham Zazou told state TV. The Egyptian presidency called the attack a "despicable act of cowardice" and vowed to bring the culprits to justice.
Egypt's vital tourism sector, which normally accounts for about 11 percent of the economy, has been badly hit by the deadly turmoil that has roiled the country since the 2011 revolt that overthrew ruler Hosni Mubarak.
Sunday's blast came as signs of a slow recovery in the industry were emerging, especially at Red Sea resorts in Sinai like Sharm el-Sheik.
Egyptian security officials said they believe the blast was caused by either a car bomb or a roadside bomb that was detonated by remote control.

Despite the devastating fire, Patel moved forward to rebuild Blackman Township's new Holiday Inn.
The $6 million, 65,000-square-foot building opened last week and has received positive feedback from the community, Patel said.
"We have a nice, beautiful hotel," he said. "I'm pleased and happy with the quality we have."
The new hotel, located north of I-94 and east of Meijer on Airport Road, features 99 guest rooms, two pools, a fitness center and a conference center that holds 120 people.
"We're very excited not only to have additional hotel rooms but to have meeting space," said Mindy Bradish-Orta, president and CEO of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. "We get at least one call a week for convention space, and we usually have to turn them down."
Holiday Inn also has Kem's Restaurant, which serves breakfast and dinner and has a bar with six beers on tap.
Patel's family owns about 20 hotels in Michigan, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Patel also owns Country Inn & Suites, which opened at 3506 O'Neill Drive in 2005.
The new hotel will help the Jackson area sell its image to potential businesses and developers and will bring more people into the community, area leaders say.
"(Patel's) hotels are very accommodating, and he does a very good job," said Scott Fleming, president and CEO of The Enterprise Group, the county's economic-development agency. "I'm looking forward to the new hotel."
Mark Kostrzewa, general manager at Holiday Inn, said he is relieved the hotel is finally open.
"It's been a very long process," he said. "It's definitely been an experience."
One goal for the hotel was to bring the Holiday Inn name back to Jackson. The former Holiday Inn that opened in 1960 near I-94 and U.S. 127 changed its name about two years ago.
"It's been missing for a while now," Kostrzewa said. "It's a very established name in the hotel industry."
The four-story hotel has created jobs for the area, employing about 40 people.
In January, Patel received the Phoenix Award from the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce in recognition for his work.
No arrests have been made in the May 2009 fire. The case remains under investigation.

The holding of a ritual is no trifling matter. Not only does it require thought and planning, but a careful consideration of 'Place'. We should also decide upon any ritual implements to be used, and, if needed, masks and images.
In theory, a ritual can be held anywhere, and in practice we may have to settle for places that are less than ideal. Nevertheless every attempt should be made to ensure that the place of the rite is felt to be somewhere special, or, by a dedication, has been made so. Ideal of course are woods, preferably old woods of deciduous trees. Open places, moorlands, heaths, stone circles and any fragments of the wild that have been left to us by the exploiters and despoilers of our landscape. Even if it is indoors and in a city the site should be carefully considered. The atmosphere of a place is of paramount importance. We all know that there are places which repel and are unfriendly, sometimes even downright hostile. Any scintilla of doubt about a location should effectively rule it out for ritual. T. C. Lethbridge in his perceptive book Ghost and Ghoul, has discussed this problem of influences at some length, and in this connection it might be helpful to study it.
Once great care was given to the siting of houses, temples, and other buildings. Our word for this is Geomancy, an art being rediscovered here in the recent upsurge of interest in 'Earth Studies' and sites of power such as old stone circles. In China the art is still practised, and is known as 'Feng Shui'. It means building to take advantage of the natural flow of landscape, harmonising with it not opposing. In a recent TV Programme about Hong Kong, there was the example of an ill-sited sentry box which so attracted unfriendly forces that sentries had committed suicide there, and not surprisingly no other soldiers would inhabit it. In desperation the authorities called in an expert on feng shui, who quickly sorted the matter by realigning the sentry box to attract more favourable forces.
There is also the matter of emanations from the Earth itself, strange lights and peculiar apparitions in the heavens. These fathered the very widespread idea of 'dragons', and such creatures are found in the lore of many lands. Such phenomena, well enough attested, (I have seen and experienced ball lightning myself), have given rise to the tales of flying saucers, though there seems no evidence to associate them with extra-terrestrials. They seem very much of this Earth and part of Her being. It is held by many that sites along such 'Dragon Paths' are peculiarly suitable for rituals. What it all comes down to is that our world is felt to be an entity in its own right, and to have its own purposes. Therefore it would be very foolish of us who dwell on its surface not to attempt to live and work in harmony with its being. An important expression of this idea can be found in J. E. Lovelock's book Gaia. Again and similarly the Chinese with their concept of 'Tao' consider the totality of their environment and the necessity of being 'with it', co-operating, not opposing the natural world around us.
As I write this I am sitting in a very old house that has been carefully aligned to two mountains, one on either side. It has been cleverly situated so that the North South axis meets the winter with a shielding wall, the South being windowed, sunny and friendly. As a result the place has an aura of benign calm, influences that are remarked upon by all who visit it. The surrounding garden which used one time to be a sheep pen is also similarly blessed. Yet I lived and carried out rituals in London for many years. Many places can be sanctified and by repetition of ritual observances, and by good and holy intentions, can become, as it were, infected by them. Stones, rocks, areas in old woodland, (and there are still some such in and near London), and buildings can become charged and retain emotional and spiritual forces for our good; concrete never. Stone circles are still felt to be most powerful for rituals; the stones seeming to have some definable yet spiritual charge. I, and others with me, felt this 'magic' strongly when we carried out the ritual of the Hallows at the Rollright Stones; for we must remember that these places were dancing grounds for centuries, and it is in the dances of our rituals that we both re-charge the stones and take from them their power to unite us, exalt us, and cleanse us both spiritually and mentally. Dowsers can get decided reactions from such stones much as they can from fresh running water, which is also a power source creating what Lethbridge called a 'Naiad Field'. Witches knew all about this when, as often, they chose to work and meet by mill streams. Salt, and salt water is a powerful neutraliser of spiritual influences, particularly bad ones. We recognise this when we throw salt over our shoulders to avert bad luck, and when we dedicate a new ritual site it should be so cleansed at the outset.
When we have decided that a site is suitable; and I suggest that one of the best tests is to go there and sit quietly for one hour at least and upon three several occasions; we may proceed upon the Dedication. I feel that this ceremony is best carried out either at the time of one of the Waxing Year Festivals, and should be a precursor to it, or at the time of the New Moon. Both occasions are propitious being concerned with light, life and growth.
The Dedication
The area of the rite should be ritually cleansed by being censed. Herbs for this purpose are readily available, or the equally widespread joss-sticks can be used. Salt, the reason for its use having been explained above, should be sprinkled around the perimeter of the area, and to the four quarters. A small altar should be set up in the centre of the area with its shorter axis aligned roughly North and South. The altar should, if possible, have upon it an image of the Goddess, or a representative symbol of Her. Another emblem can be chosen to represent the God.
After the area has been cleansed, the images should also be censed and lustrated. The rest of the water should then be sprinkled around the area. Suitable prayers should be offered. They should not be in any set form unless so wanted. What is necessary is that they should be heartfelt and carry the messages of gratitude for birth, the quickening to life, the hope for wisdom, and the final prayer for the presence of the Deities to bring with Them the magic spirit to the circle. Each attender should then be presented with an ash staff, as token of the spiritual pilgrimage that is started here. The ash is a premier wood of paganism, and has many attributes. In Norse legend it is the world tree, Ygdrassil, the habitat of Woden who is the God of Wisdom. It is associated with horses, because of its buds, and is a prime symbol of beginning and intention. Its domestic use is widespread as the handle of many garden implements, and more interestingly it is the stick of the classical 'witches broomstick'. Therefore it is in many senses a travelling tree.
Each attender then places his staff before the altar, kneels and individually makes a dedication to the Goddess and the Gods, declaring themselves ready to begin the spiritual journey in that place of rite, and to practice in their lives the virtues and the lessons that they learn there.
The staffs are then taken up and processed 9 times leftwise around the altar in honour of the Goddess, and 8 times sunwise in honour of the God.
We have now completed the first ritual. The marking out of a place apart, somewhere special, which whatever other use we may put it to, particularly if it has to be indoors, is always there to be awoken at the beginning of any ceremony.
For the closing or the awakening of any circle we need to use a sword or knife. The closing is simple. The knife is scored outwards across the circle three times to the North, South, East and West. The awakening is performed by scoring with the circumference three times to the four quarters, or by tracing the circumference out three times with knife point. This simple ceremony can precede any ritual.
Having considered and decided upon our place or places, before we can carry out the rituals, we need to consider what tools we may need.

The Fortune Café:
a novel in three parts
Blog Tour & Giveaway: Win $25.00 Amazon OR PayPal CASH!
MIS-FORTUNE: Emma, a waitress at The Fortune Café will do anything to avoid opening a fortune cookie. Each fortune is rumored to somehow magically come true. Being a girl grounded in reality, she doesn't have time for that kind of nonsense. But when trying to prevent a food fight at the café, Emma accidently cracks open a fortune cookie: "Look around, love is trying to catch you." If there is one thing that Harrison, her former best friend in high school is good at, it's catching her unaware.
LOVE, NOT LUCK: Lucy has always been lucky . . . until her parents meet her fiancé's parents at a disastrous lunch at The Fortune Café, and she breaks her lucky jade necklace. Even worse, her fortune cookie reveals that "True love is for the brave, not the lucky." How is she supposed to read that? She's always considered it lucky how she met her fiancé. But after breaking her necklace, Lucy's luck takes a dive. And when her fiancé dumps her, the only person she can turn to is Carter, the unluckiest guy she knows.
TAKEOUT: Stella is content in her new life of taking over her mom's jewelry shop. No more boyfriend to worry about, and as long as she stays busy, she doesn't have to dwell on her non-existent love life. When Evan comes into the shop with his young daughter, Stella is charmed. But she is reluctant to complicate her straightforward life, so when she reads her fortune after ordering takeout from The Fortune Café, she completely ignores it. After all, how can a fortune as vague as "Do the thing you fear and love is certain," apply to her?

About MESA
Weekly Maryland MESA Meetings
Students attend weekly meetings with MESA advisors and counselors. At these meetings, students are provided with mathematics and science workshops, assistance with science/mathematics fair projects, career counseling sessions, self-esteem workshops, goal-setting and problem-solving activities, computer literacy instruction, and technical writing seminars.
Field Experiences
In an effort to make students more aware of careers in the sciences, Maryland MESA sponsors field experiences that enable students to interact with engineers, mathematicians, and scientists in their professional environments. Field trips are planned according to students' interests and research projects. Students conduct research, write summaries, and participate in related discussions and workshops.
Science Fairs, Engineering Projects, and Mathematics Competitions
Maryland MESA provides students with scientific methodology instruction and guidance in researching and preparing their science and engineering research projects by encouraging them to select topics of special interest and to function scientifically, creatively, and independently. With guidance from MESA advisors, students develop science and engineering research projects for entry in school science fairs, the Maryland Science Fair, and the Morgan State University Science Fair. Maryland MESA students are also invited to participate in the Science Olympiad, as well as activities sponsored by MathCounts, Olympics of the Mind, and local colleges and universities.
Saturday Academies
To assist students in improving and developing their academic abilities and problem-solving skills in math, engineering, and science, Maryland MESA partners with universities and colleges to sponsor Saturday Academies. These programs consist of academic tutorials and hands-on projects that assist students in developing their knowledge of scientific concepts and applications.
Summer Programs
Maryland MESA partners with local universities, colleges, and industry organizations to offer two summer programs. Students participate in hands-on activities such as balloon and rocket design and construction. Included in the curriculum are workshops and classes in science and mathematics, computer programming, communication and study skills, and career orientation and awareness. These programs also include guest speakers and field trips to science- and engineering-related sites.
Career Counseling, Academic Tutoring, and Mentoring
Maryland MESA advisors partner with professional engineers, college students, and parents to provide tutoring and mentoring opportunities for students. MESA advisors also alert students to potential sources of scholarships and other financial aid. Students are introduced to a variety of colleges and universities through college bulletins, meetings with visiting college and university admissions representatives, and field trips to local colleges and universities. Maryland MESA students also have the opportunity to meet and interact with college students majoring in science and engineering.
Computer/Technology Instruction
Because the ability to use technology as a tool is essential for engineers, scientists, and mathematicians, it is important for Maryland MESA students to have strong technical and computer capabilities. Students participate in computer and technology tutorials, use scientific and graphing calculators, utilize the Internet for research, and have access to computers and technology for practice and personal use.
Communication Skills Instruction
Because the ability to communicate verbally and in writing is critical to success in any discipline, Maryland MESA emphasizes that it is important for students to perform at a high level in English as well as in science and math courses. To strengthen verbal and written skills, students work with educators and mentors to develop and execute verbal presentations, prepare written evaluations of field experiences, write technical reports in conjunction with science and engineering research projects, and may keep a written journal of their activities and accomplishments. Maryland MESA also provides information to its students about locally and nationally sponsored essay and public speaking contests.
Workshops and Training for Teachers
Maryland MESA teachers and advisors are provided with professional development opportunities that relate to the mission, goals, and purposes of the Maryland MESA program. Workshops are held during the summer and throughout the academic year. Through these workshops, MESA teachers learn new teaching and motivational strategies; receive academic enrichment materials and information; increase their awareness of math-, science-, engineering-, and technology-related careers and the academic preparation required for entering these fields; network and exchange ideas with colleagues; and interact with university, industry, and governmental agency members.

NEW YORK -- Finally, almost seven months after the evil deed, Tom Glavine told Mets fans what they wanted to hear all along.
Yes, he was devastated, after all -- but with a qualifier.
"In the realm of sports, it was a devastating loss," Glavine said before last night's Mets-Braves game at Shea Stadium.
If only Glavine had simply said that on Sept. 30, perhaps some of the abuse thrown his way would have been muted. Perhaps.
Then again, when you allow seven runs in a third of an inning in the most important game of the year -- an 8-1 loss to the Marlins that sealed one of the worst collapses in baseball history -- it really doesn't matter what you say.
But Glavine, who returned to Shea last night with the Braves for the first time since the day his five-year Met career ended on that sour note, tried to explain what he meant that day.
"I'm not devastated," he said at the time, "but I am disappointed. Devastated is a word used for greater things in life than a game."
The comment enraged many Met fans, who felt it only proved that Glavine was never a real Met and didn't care about their heartbreaking misfortunes. Nothing could be further from the truth, said Glavine, who explained he was only trying to find some solace in a devastating -- yes, devastating -- loss by saying, hey, at least I've got my family and their health.
"Was it the right time to make that point?" he asked rhetorically. "Probably not. I was trying to find comfort in what was an otherwise miserable day."
Glavine said he was sorry that his comment was misinterpreted to mean he didn't care. In fact, he called the outing the most regrettable of his 22-year, 672-start career.
"Believe me, I understand what it feels like when your favorite team loses," he said. "I'm sorry about that. It was not my intent."
Last night Mets fans didn't have much of a chance to vent their anger at Glavine (0-1, 2.38 ERA), who is on the disabled list for the first time in his career and won't pitch in the series. But he said that when he wandered around the city, he was warmly greeted by people.
"Nobody threw anything at me," he said, "so that was a positive."

Williams dominated the second-set tiebreaker, clinching the match with an ace, after the Chinese player had saved three match points in the 10th game and one in the 12th.
In the first tiebreaker, Williams picked up four of her last five points on unforced errors by Li and the American clinched the set with a second-service ace.
Williams has a perfect record in Melbourne Park finals, having won titles in 2003, 2005, 2007 and last year.
Justine Henin or China's Zheng Jie will attempt to break that streak -- they played the other semifinal later Thursday to determine who takes on Williams in Saturday night's final.

The FBI alleged in a 2006 request for a search warrant that Philadelphia labor leader John J. Dougherty's bank records showed a pattern of deposits and withdrawals of "substantial amounts of cash" in "what appears to be an effort to conceal financial dealings."
From 2002 to 2005, the FBI said, Dougherty deposited about $106,000 in cash that could not be traced to any known source, according to a copy of the warrant application that surfaced this week in a lawsuit.
The FBI also alleged in 2006 that it had evidence that Dougherty received about $300,000 in free renovations on his South Philadelphia home.

text: Well it looks as though our Bra-lellujah! story the other day was more timely than first suspected, because the back has become latest craze in body anxiety. There's a flurry of reports today about the newest trend in cosmetic surgery - yes, you can now eliminate all those back bulges with the help of a back lift. It's called the "bra-line back lift" because the scar can be hidden underneath your bra. All very effective I'm sure, but a nice shaping camisole might be altogether less painful.

This year marks the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War. This isn't an anniversary to "celebrate", but such a pivotal conflict in our nation's history is certainly one to commemorate and learn more about through the amazing stories told by the people involved. Sarah Edmonds was one of those people.
In the picturebook biography Nurse, Soldier, Spy: The Story of Sarah Edmonds, A Civil War Hero,
we learn that when she was just 16, Sarah disguised herself as a man and ran away from her home in Canada to escape an arranged marriage. She came to the United States and assumed the name Frank Thompson. When the call came in Michigan for young men to join the Union army, "Frank" wanted to sign up as a way to thank the country she had been living in for the last three years. While the other soldiers teased Frank about her small feet, no one ever guessed that Frank was actually a woman.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Joe Biden says the United States continues to support Iraq in its fight against al-Qaida-linked militants.
The White House says Biden spoke by telephone today with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Car bombings and shootings killed 13 people across Iraq today, and clashes between security forces and al-Qaida-linked militants continued in the contested western province of Anbar. Iraq's al-Qaida branch, known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, has taken over parts of the Anbar capital Ramadi and controls the center of the nearby city of Fallujah.
Biden commended al-Maliki's government for its efforts to integrate tribal forces fighting al-Qaida into Iraqi security forces, and to provide compensation for those injured and killed fighting the militants.

Terrorist Groups as Business Firms: A New Typological Framework
Aaron Zelinsky
University of Maryland Francis Carey School of Law
Martin Shubik
Yale University - School of Management; Yale University - Cowles Foundation
21 Terrorism and Political Violence 327
Existing typological frameworks currently fail to categorize terrorist groups by their operational characteristics. We propose a new framework which compares terrorist groups to business firms. In our framework, terrorist groups are mapped on two axes: centralization of resources and centralization of operations. Using this framework, we separate terrorist groups into four typologies echoing familiar business arrangements: Hierarchy, Venture Capital, and Brand. Responses to each typology are briefly sketched out. We conclude by analyzing the changes in Al Qaeda over the last two decades in the context of our framework, focusing on its increasing decentralization. We close by proposing appropriate policy responses to combat Al Qaeda in light of its current Brand typology.

SESSION: Mundane and Profane Uses of Medieval Sacred Spaces II: Synagogue, Mosque and Shrine in the Central and Late Middle Ages
I am looking for proposals dealing with mundane/profane uses of mosques in the later Middle Ages. The accepted paper, which will replace one that has been withdrawn, will be part of a session exploring the following topics:
1. "The Synagogue in Provencia as a Social Institution during the High Middle Ages"
2. "Sanctified Space: Thaumaturgy and Carnival at the Shrines of the Saints"
The original call for papers follows.
Organized Session Proposal: "Mundane and Profane Uses of Medieval Sacred Spaces"
Although technically reserved for worship, medieval sacred spaces accommodated numerous mundane and profane activities that included wine hawking, ball playing, hearing legal cases and sexual encounters. This session will explore the mundane and profane uses of medieval sacred spaces and investigate the larger significance of such uses. Papers may discuss any mundane activity that took place in ritual spaces. They may also look at violent explosions that sometimes occurred in them (such as the twelfth-century murders of Charles the Good in the castral church of Saint Donatian and of Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral). If accepted, this session which hopes to benefit from papers drawing on a variety of relevant disciplines might include presentations on Jewish, Christian (eastern and western) and Muslim sacred spaces; inter- and intra-cultural comparative discussions are also welcome.
If you are interested in participating in this session, please e-mail me directly at email@example.com. The deadline for submission of abstracts is March 1, 2001.

As a founding member of
the Meters
Neville Brothers
, New Orleans vocalist and keyboardist
Art Neville
helped immeasurably to shape the contemporary New Orleans funk sound.
's first band,
the Hawketts
, tasted local success in 1954 with the carnival perennial "Mardi Gras Mambo" on Chess. He cut some nice solo singles for Specialty during the late '50s, notably "Cha Dooky-Doo," as well as contributing two choruses of storming piano to Jerry Byrne's 1958 classic "Lights Out." "All These Things," a gentle ballad, also did well locally in 1962 on the Instant logo. He assembled
the Meters
in the mid-'60s and the instrumental quartet proved the Crescent City's answer to
the MG's
until their 1977 breakup. That's when
and his siblings formed
the Neville Brothers
, who went on to reign as the leading musical export from New Orleans.

How to Manage Pests
UC Pest Management Guidelines
Silverleaf Whitefly
Scientific Name: Bemisia argentifolii
(Reviewed 11/06, updated 11/06)
In this Guideline:
Silverleaf whitefly adults are tiny (0.06 inch, 1.5 mm long), yellowish insects with white wings. Their wings are held somewhat vertically tilted, or rooflike, over the body and generally do not meet over the back but have a small space separating them. Another species that may be present, bandedwinged whiteflies (Trialeurodes abutiloneus), have brownish bands across their wings.
Whiteflies are found mostly on the undersides of leaves. They fly readily when plants are disturbed. The tiny, oval eggs hatch into a first nymphal stage that has legs and antennae and is mobile. The legs and antennae are lost after the first molt and subsequent stages remain fixed to the leaf surface. The last nymphal stage, often called the pupa or the red-eye nymph, is the stage that is easiest to identify.
Last instar silverleaf whitefly nymphs are oval and yellowish with red eye spots. The edge of the pupae tapers down to the leaf surface and has few to no long waxy filaments around the edge. In contrast, bandedwinged whitefly nymphs have many long waxy filaments around the edge, and the edge is somewhat vertical where it contacts the leaf surface.
Whiteflies are sucking insects and their feeding removes nutrients from the plant. As they feed, whiteflies produce large quantities of honeydew that reduce alfalfa hay quality because sooty molds (fungi that produce black spores) often grow on honeydew. Sooty molds are not known to harm cattle or horses, but resemble mold from water damaged hay that produce toxins. Hay buyers are not likely to buy moldy looking hay or will discount the price of the hay. Silverleaf whitefly can cause economic damage to alfalfa in the low desert regions of Southern California and Arizona from July through September.
A silverleaf whitefly-resistant alfalfa cultivar (UC-Impalo-WF) is available for use. Research continues to develop cultivars with higher levels of resistance to silverleaf whitefly as well as to bandedwinged whitefly. If insecticides were registered whitefly control in alfalfa, they would not be cost effective. The use of insecticides for whitefly control in alfalfa is not cost effective.

Our First-Ever Food Awards
2012 Food Awards
We're never quiet when we find a new product we love. We make it a point to try out the newest "health" food being marketed and uncover brands with a smaller ad budget and a bigger nutritional bang. But we've never given you one collective list all at once like we've done in our first-ever food awards!
We've spent the summer developing nutrition criteria, scouring every shelf of the grocery store, reading labels until our eyes-crossed, and swapping lunch calories for taste-testing calories all in the name of helping you put the best food possible on your grocery list.
Our qualification process looked like this:
Work with our Mary Hartley, RD to develop a clearly defined nutritional criteria for each food category. Parameters were made for calories, fat, sugar, sodium, fiber, and vitamins and minerals.
Scour the grocery store for five foods in each category that met our criteria or got really close. In a lot of categories, it was sometimes hard to find even one.
Review those five finalists for artificial and chemical ingredients that would immediately remove them from contention for the winning position.
Taste test each food to declare an ultimate winner.

The LA Lakers will be dealing with all kinds of roster turnover as soon as the lockout ends, and one of them is key guard Shannon Brown.
He was an essential part of the Lakers bench, averaging 8.7 points a game on a mere 19 minutes of playing time.
Now, just hours before the lockout officially goes into effect, Brown has decided to opt out of the final year of his contract and enter the cold and lonely world of free agency.
Brown told reporters it was the best decision for himself:
We made the best decision for me and everybody around me. It's an interesting time to do this because of the lockout, but I think this is the best thing for me to do right now.
I haven't ruled out the Lakers; I don't know if they will rule me out. I'm staying open.
Now let's take a look at five jerseys he will potentially be wearing whenever the 2011-2012 season gets underway.

Thanks to Pennon Environmental Trust we have been able to continue our work to improve and enhance the visitor experience across the sites. This month saw the installation of a new viewing screen at Exminster Marshes, along the turf path which will enable people to get views into the etland, which previously have not been available.
The screen is located in an area that we are improving for family groups and young people, where we have also provided seating and Gemma, our Visitor Officer, is making a willow shelter. So why not take a walk down the Turf path and have a look for yourself.
We have also just secured planning permission for the installation of a pond dipping platform nearby. We hope that the installation of this together with the upgrade of our facilities on Powderham will be undertaken in the next few months. Situated on the southern side of the reserve, working with the Turf Pub we hope to provide some excellent summer events, so if you are a keen pond dipper; follow the website so not to miss out.
Good to see the Golden Triangle plans are progressing so well. Viewing screen looks fab - heard there was a crane admiring it recently.

Diamond Path Lace - A pattern to make a shawl, scarf, cowl and mobius loop.
Many folks have made my Garter Stitch Diamond Lace shawl and have asked for a scarf version. Now you can knit this easy lace pattern and make a 6 inch wide flat scarf, cowl or mobius. With more repeats, you can make a shawl the desired width and length you need.
For the sample shown, I used No. 3 (US) needles with Red Heart Fashion Crochet thread (100% cotton) Size 3, 125 yards. Using the entire ball, this produced a strip approximately 26 inches long and 6 inches wide. This length is suitable for a mobius or cowl. 3 balls would make a scarf just over 6 feet long.
Gauge: Not too important! Use the yarn and needle combo that not only works with how loose or tight you knit but also results in good looking lace. Yardage of yarn/thread depends on how long and wide you decide to make your garment.
You can make this easy to knit garment in any weight yarn.
You can use any weight yarn for this pattern!

While the surprise success of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, which has been No. 1 at the box office for two straight weeks, has thrust the bug-eyed breed into the spotlight, they have a long and storied history as one of Hollywood's favorite breeds. From Bit Bit to Bruiser, PEOPLE.com walks you though Hollywood's Chihuahua Hall of Fame:
Tinkerbell Hilton: The OBHC, or Original Beverly Hills Chihuahua, is the tiniest Hilton who has more accessories than most Park Avenue heiresses, has her own unauthorized biography and was even the subject of a kidnapping scare when she went missing in August 2004. Luckily, the dog was reunited with owner Paris Hilton after a week. "She is like a child to me," Hilton said at the time.
Gidget, the Taco Bell Chihuahua: With her bulging eyes and infectious catch phrase "Yo quiero Taco Bell!" Gidget helped kick off the chihuahua craze with a series of commercials that ran from 1997 to 2000. Befitting her trailblazing status, she had a great later career role as Bruiser's mother in 2002's Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, before dying of cancer three years later.
Bit Bit Spears: Few creatures have lived a more charmed life than Britney Spears's canine companion. In her prime, the dog had her own room, complete with pintsized furniture, and was once treated to a $180 steak at Picasso Steak House in Las Vegas. While no longer a constant presence under Britney's arm or on her website, Bit Bit is said to be living out her dotage in the actress' Malibu estate.

Coco Millan: As the smallest member of Cesar Millan's pack on the Dog Whisperer, Coco has spent zero time in haute couture, but it is still managing just fine, thank you. Coco had been brought to Millan to rehabilitate its aggressive behavior and ended up staying when his son, Calvin, fell in love with the dog.

Kawasaki Teryx Roof Review 0
The rainy season is far from over so we added another level of protection to our 2010 Kawasaki Teryx 750 Sport. A glaring chink in the Teryx's armor is the cab top – there isn't any. Side-by-sides of all make and variety come with roll cages, but it's not standard practice for the manufacturer to bolt on a roof. When it was time to weatherproof our long-term UTV we turned to the Kawasaki accessory catalog and weighed multiple options of plastic and aluminum. Ultimately we settled on the aluminum top with a black finish. At $171.95, the black version is about half the price of the brushed aluminum, and we think it looks better than the bare metal. Another key advantage of the aluminum over plastic is a low-profile design. The door to our garage only has about six inches of clearance on the stock cage and the plastic roof is shaped to where it sticks up considerably more than the aluminum version.
The roof uses thick strips of foam to keep vibration and noise to a minimum against the roll cage. The first step is to do a dry fit and mark where the roof and cage come together. Then lay on the foam using the self-adhesive. The foam sticks well – we put these on in freezing temperatures and only used the exhaust to warm the adhesive and it hasn't peeled off anywhere. Getting the roof put in place only requires four mounting bolts. The hardware packet includes a quartet of simple brackets which attach at the existing roll cage connection. Simply remove one of the bolts from the cage, put the aluminum bracket in place and replace the bolt with a slightly longer one provided with the kit. Keep all of these slightly loose to make it easier to line up the four holes on the roof. Once the roof is on, cinch down the top bolts and then crank down the cage bolts. Simple.
As expected, the roof does just what it's supposed to. We're much happier getting out and coming back to the Teryx in the rain and not having to sit on a wet seat. Coverage is adequate and the drip lips manufactured onto the front and rear edge channel water off to the side. Larger riders might find that it drips onto the edge of their outer leg. This is the only thing we can find wrong with the roof's design.
The roof blocks more than water. We found it handy at keeping branches out of the cab when wheeling through brush. One slight drawback is that branches get wedged between the front edge of the roof and the cage and wind up coming along for the ride. While this can be annoying, the tradeoff is that there's less worry about a big branch snagging the cage behind the driver's range of vision, which is much more of a danger.
Even though it was the rain that got us thinking about a roof, this accessory is useful year-round. The roof is very light and is easily managed by a single person. This aids in installation but more importantly doesn't add much heft to the machine. Of course the top is good at stopping water coming straight down, but it doesn't do a whole lot while in motion. If you're serious about staying totally dry while moving, check out Kawasaki accessories' full cabs or at least a windshield. The aluminum roof can be used in conjunction with a full windshield so there's no need to modify anything. Also consider more side protection like solid doors or fender flares, which you can read about in our Kawasaki Teryx Fender Flares Review.
The aluminum top slides right into our parking garage without issue and we appreciate keeping a low profile when ducking under branches out on the trail. Another benefit of springing for the aluminum top is that it should have a longer lifespan than the plastic. Roofs are naturally exposed to the worst elements and just constant beating from sunlight will eventually wear down polymers, so we're looking forward to even longer-lasting performance. There were times when we'd leave the UTV in the garage and go do chores without it just because it's a pain to deal with a wet seat. Now it isn't an issue and the Kawasaki is a more valuable tool overall.

Okay, let's begin by taking a look at the homepage and understanding what the key differences were in making it work on both desktop and mobile. So let me just size this down to the mobile version for just a second. You can see a couple of things right away: first, the logo is smaller; second, the navigation bar is vertical now instead of horizontal, and the appearance is also different. And if I scroll down, you'll see that the content is now in one single vertical column, not two columns, and the Tour Spotlight is now above the Monthly Specials.
The video element is now gone and if we scroll down little bit more, you can see that the footer navigation has changed it layout just a little bit, so let's scroll back up. So let's think over the code, and I'm going to show you the key places in the code where we have to make some changes in order to make that work. Let's begin by taking a look at the logo section. So here in the main.css file you'll see that the logo is a class that's defined on the a.logo rule inside the main header.
So if we look back in the index code, you'll see that we scroll down. So here's the header and it has the ID of main header, and this is the linked tag that has the logo class on it. So the logo image is not embedded directly into the page; it's defined as part of a style sheet. So here in the main style sheet you'll see that it has a width and a height that's appropriate for that particular image. It's displayed as a block-level element. And here's the part where the image is being included as a background image from that URL. It's absolutely positioned on the page, which works well for desktops, but not so much for mobile, and so we specify the top and the left, and that's so the navigation bar to get around it.
Now, take a look at the same thing over in the mobile. So if we go down to the mobile version of that logo--and that's right down here on line, I think it's a 211, yeah here it is. So same thing where we have the main header in the a.logo class, but now look at the differences here. In this case the position is relative, and we're relatively position it because we don't want to be an absolute place on the screen, because mobile screen sizes can be a little bit different. The background image here, instead of including it from a URL to an image that's directly on disk, we're using a Data URI. And you'll recall we learned about Data URIs earlier on the course.
Now the last thing about using the Data URI here is that it's saves us a HTTP request back to the server and since this dial sheet will be cached along with the other style sheets and other assets that come down with the site, this image wont have to be downloaded again and again, unless of course it changes. We've also change the width and height to be more appropriate for the smaller logo, and the position, again as I said earlier, is being displayed as relative as a block-level element. So the result of that is that when a page is displayed in the smaller context on a mobile screen, we're using a smaller version of the image, and it's positioned in the middle of the page content rather than absolutely at the upper left.
All right, now let's take a look at the navigation bar. Let's go back over here. So this is where the navigation bar begins and you can see that the siteNav is the ID of the navigation bar that we're to be changing Go back over the code. You can see that this guy right here. Now the navigation element, again, it's based this the bunch of unordered lists with list items in it, and we don't care on the mobile contacts about these sub-items down here. So we're not going to be showing those. What we're going to do is take look at there main.
So here in the main.css file you can see that the list items and the unordered list that take up the navigation bar are defined using left floating. There's a list-style of none. This is always basic nav bar stuff, but you can see that they have heights defined. There's background colors. There is a width here of 1038 pixels, because that's the width of the screen and in fact, if you take that and add this you'll get something around like 1280 pixels. Now that's a desktop width, and that's not going to work on the mobile context, so we need to change that.
Also, each of the list items that make up the navigation bar, you can see there being floated to the left, and they've being positioned as relative. So let's take a look over at the mobile.css to see how that's a little bit different, and that's defined up here on line 141. So in this case, we have the siteNav URL, and it's not floated at all, and that's because we want it to display in a vertical fashion, rather than a horizontal fashion. You can see here that we've got some style that defined on the unordered list that makes up the navigational in.
So for the background color we're going to inherit with the background color is underneath it--in that case the white screen. The list style type is still set to none. We have a little bit of margin bottom underneath it. That sets the bottom of the unordered list off from the content. And we aligned the text in the center of the page. And instead of having a width of 1280 pixels, we just say that the width is 90% of whatever its container element is. And if we go back to the code, we'll see that the container element of the unordered list is this navigation bar right here.
So we don't want this to take up a large horizontal space; we want it to be vertical and just take up 90% of the width. So that's the main change there. The other change that we made is in each list item you can see that we changed the background color, the text is aligned in the center of each one of the list item elements, and the width is defined as 45%, with a minimum width of 170 pixels, so that that way each list item takes up about half of the unordered list container, which is what give us that nice centered look to the navigation bar when it's viewed in that vertical fashion in the mobile site. Let's take a look it now at the background image.
So recall back here in the code-- in fact that we bring it up again. So this background image right here is not going to make sense in mobile, so we need to get rid of it. We also need to get rid of this Find Your Tour button and this big h1 that sitting here. We're not going to need to use that. So let's go back to the code. All right! Let's go to the main.css, and we scroll to line 131. And in mobile we'll also take a look at where that's defined. So this was pretty easy.
Here in the main.css file, the background image of the homepage, you can see its home wrapper right here. And if look at the index.html, that's this guy right here. There's the home which is the body, and this is the wrapper that wraps all the contents in the homepage. So the background image of that is this giant background image right here. In the mobile context, however, we just simply say background image is none. So we want to hide that so that way it want be displayed when the page is viewed in a mobile setting. And right below that is the actionCall section, which is this area right here. Let's find it.
So this actionCall section right here, that's for that big h1 that says, "Explore our world your way," and here's that big Find Your Tour button. So if you look at the main.css, you can see that the action call has a height, it has a position, it has all the styles associated with it. And in the mobile.css we simply say display none for all that stuff, so it's being hidden in the mobile version. All right! Let's take a look at the menus, because recall that in the desktop version of the site we have these dropdown menus. Well, we don't want those to show up in the mobile or tablet versions, so let's take a look at the code for that.
Here in the menus file you'll see that we are doing a test right here. Now this is jQuery and if you're not familiar with jQuery, don't freak out. It's basically just a statement it says, "Hey, is the width of the document greater than 800," and if the width of the document is greater than 800 then we go ahead and build all the menus. I'm not going to walk through all that because that's just complex code. But the main thing to take away from here is that this code is only to execute if the document width is greater than 800 pixels. If it's less than 800 hundred pixels, none of this is going to happen, and those menus just simply won't be there.
All right! Let's lastly take a look at the content wrapper section. Let's go back to the main, and we'll look here. This is the homes contentWrapper, and that's this div right here. So the contentWrapper is what wraps all the main content in the page, everything below the navigation bar and that action call section we had at the top. This is-- if we go back to the page you'll see it. So the contentWrapper is all this stuff down here, the two-column layout, the video, everything up until the footer. So let's go back and take a look at the code.
So in the contentWrapper for the main, a couple of differences here. The main content floats to the right, right here, This main content, that's this part right here, the Spotlight, the Explorer's podcast, that floats to the right. The secondary content, which is the multi-specials and all that stuff, that floats to the left. And you can see that they are being given a widths of 700 pixels and 400 pixels collectively. So that's what gives us that two-column layout. But we don't want that in mobile. So we're going to look over mobile and we're going to see that in the contentWrapper the main content has no float, it takes up 100% of the width, and its got no padding or margin. And the secondary content also has no float, and it takes up 100% of the width.
This is what it causes those two elements to flow in one single line rather than next to each other. And last but not least, let's take a look at the video element, so that this guy right here, videoPodcast. Now on the desktop site, we want that to show up, but the problem is it's 512 pixels wide, and that's too large. And on some mobile devices HTML video is not going to work. So, just to make things simple, we're going to look for the videoPodcast, and you can see that on mobile that's being set as display to none.
Okay, so those are the main changes that we had to make to the index page to get things to work on both desktop and mobile.

The purpose of this work is to study the statistical properties of the MDD for stochastic processes characterized by the stylized facts of real financial time series. The numerical results obtained using a Monte Carlo code are firstly validated against the analytical predictions available within the academic framework of the Brownian motion. The statistics of the maximum drawdown is then analyzed in term of both its expectation value and distribution function for processes whose increments are not independent and present non vanishing excess kurtosis and skewness. The expectations for the maximum drawdown are finally compared, along with their confidence intervals, to the events observed in the historical financial time series of different asset classes.

The hand with which one does not normally masturbate.
"It's been so long since I've had sex that I had to use Stranger Hand last night for some variety" Or "I sprained my wrist, so I had to use Stranger Hand last night."

Can you define these popular missing words?
When a guy sits on both of his hands till they go numb and continues by beating off his pecker. Ths gives the sensation that a stranger is jacking you off.
Whoa!!! that was crazy i just did ths thing called stranger hands and it really works.

A college course in biblical archaeology sparked the interest of Roy Kornegay, who first traveled to the Holy Land in 1972.
"It's the only way to really understand the past," Kornegay said. "It's one of the few factual ways to go back into history to find out what life is really like."
Kornegay, director of missions for Amarillo Baptist Association, said he has made 13 trips to Israel, nine trips to Egypt and trips to Greece and Jordan.
"My goal is to stand everywhere mentioned in the Bible, someday," Kornegay said.
He said his travels through the Middle East have included visiting the Great Pyramid at Giza, climbing Mount Sinai and snorkeling in the Red Sea.
Kornegay said one of his most memorable experiences was riding through the ancient cliff city of Petra, Jordan, which was portrayed in the movie "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade."
Riding on horseback with huge cliffs on each side produced a unique sound, he said.
"I felt like I had gone back 3,500 years in history," Kornegay said. "That was probably one of the eeriest trips."
Kornegay said biblical archaeology is important, and he supports funding efforts but doesn't want to see all unexplored sites to be excavated at once.
"It's good that archaeological work can be done, but I hope that many places remain left untouched," he said.
"The purpose of archaeology is not gold, jewels or money, but to uncover history. It's not as urgent as if they were treasure hunters looking for gold."
