Home again after a busy genealogy summer
Hello, readers.
My summer was very busy, filled with several genealogy conferences and speaking engagements in California, Washington and Canada.
If you're interested in discovering your family history, I highly recommend that you attend a genealogy conference. These events usually offer special sessions for newcomers, some provide classes in essential skills, and all provide information on new resources, publications and much more.
There are numerous genealogy conferences each year and they highlight different research areas. There are events for people researching Polish, German, Dutch, Eastern European, Jewish and other specialties, as well as general events addressing topics common to all genealogists and family history researchers.
My summer began as a speaker at the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree in early June, which was attended by more than 1,000 regional genealogists, offered many top speakers, sessions on technology and ethnic research, a vendor room packed with books, software and useful displays. This year's event was co-sponsored by the Cajun research group, so there was a definite Louisiana flavor to special sessions.
My topic was "Creating Hope," which focused on how writing on genealogy for general publications and newspapers presents the possibilities of family research to a wide audience that has never thought about pursuing their roots.
From Los Angeles, I visited genealogy friends along the way and spoke in Seattle and Vancouver BC on the same topic, adjusting the content to the specific audience.
In Seattle, Washington, the joint program was sponsored by the Jewish Education Council and the Jewish Genealogical Society of Washington State, while in Vancouver, the event was sponsored by the Jewish Genealogical Institute. In Victoria BC, I connected with a long-lost branch of my husband's family, and we spent a delightful day in the mountains about an hour's drive away.
On my way once again, I arrived in Salt Lake City to attend the annual Federation of Eastern European Historical Societies (FEEFHS), followed by the 27th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy.
Unfortunately, I missed the two major general genealogy conferences, but perhaps I can schedule them for next year.
In the next few postings, I'll provide you with highlights of each stop, the programs and more. Readers who have questions or comments about these events are invited to write in, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Buy does a 180 degree change, will sell HP TouchPad in U.S. stores at fire sale prices
0. phoneArena 20 Aug 2011, 22:33 posted on
After first telling everyone that it would ship unsold HP TouchPads from its U.S. stores back to HP, Best Buy has changed its mind and Saturday night announced that it was joining those selling the webOS flavored tablet at HP's directed sale price of $99.99 for a 16GB TouchPad and $149.99 for a 32GB model...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

54. biscutbob (Posts: 82; Member since: 08 Jul 2011)
It doesnt make sence that B&N would carry a different tablet other than the nook.. do they really have an Hp touchpad?
2. exo2u (unregistered)
where do you get that from? i think its said sold out all day today if im not mistaken, hopefully its just saying that if you want one your probably gonna have to personally go in to try and pick one up tomorrow....hopefully
10. Charlie (unregistered)
I ordered mine off the website at around 8:45-9:00 pm on saturday evening, and marked it for in store pick up... already got email confirmation that its ready for pick up tomorrow morning when the store opens... since than the website has been saying SOLD OUT!... thats where i get that from...
my brother in law was able to order one as well before best buy sold out of em...
sorry guys, unless best buy made by putting it up for sale early and noticed it and took it down to put it back up sunday morning, the HP TouchPad is gona from best buy... keep looking!
42. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
it might have said sold out because they were originally going to stop selling them. I know most retailers near me say they are sold out of them already. Dont know if its from a low stock to begin with or people really are going nuts since its 100 bux.
3. Kyle (unregistered)
Best Buy you are stupid. Why on earth would you not sell the touchpad out when HP themselves are selling out their inventory!?
4. Whateverr (unregistered)
This is a disaster!
5. eLmo82 (unregistered)
I got the same brick wall all day today. Hopefully since this was posted after the local Best Buy closed their is hope I may get one when they open tomorrow morning at 11a.m.
7. exo2u (unregistered)
me too man, good luck, ill be doing the same tomorrow
6. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
so happy I got mine yesterday from Wal-Mart. Its a great tablet especially for only 100 dollars.
22. PeterIfromsweden (Posts: 1230; Member since: 03 Aug 2011)
How does it work ?
Is it a good tablet ?
43. remixfa (Posts: 14255; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
nope.. there's no BADA on it :)
49. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
They said it didn't had much to stand out for :/ many are actually buying it to put honeycomb on it
8. Thump3rDX17 (Posts: 2160; Member since: 10 May 2010)
well i'll try again tomorrow i guess. hope i get there in time. o:
9. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
wow best buy ditched it quick. They dont even have it on their website anymore. No listing saying out of stock, its just completely gone. A search for "touchpad" only links to a screen protector for the device.
Well looks like Im out of luck on this. HP's website that has you notified when they have more in stock is broken, probably got flooded with requests. Checked everywhere else I could imagine that I could shop Online or go brick and mortar and they either say they are out of stock or they have removed the listing completely, though Officemax was strange as they removed it from the standard tablet listings but not the search results.
11. veritech (unregistered)
Hey does anyone know if Costco will do this too? They had a lot in a store when i was there but they still had it at full price.
12. matistight (Posts: 440; Member since: 13 May 2009)
Stupid Best Buy Mobile (in the mall) told me that they are sending them back for a "recall"....really? liars
46. come on (unregistered)
Read the article you're commenting on more closely, and you'll see that best buy intended to send them back, then changed their minds.
13. Cinnamon (Posts: 87; Member since: 16 Jun 2011)
Told me they were sold out on the phone :(
14. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
Don't you mean tablet? :p
16. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
He meant he called them over the phone, genius.
37. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
miz please change your display pic so this obvious case of distraction doesn't happen again. I just can't focus when I see hot sweaty oiled up men. Glad we share common interest ;] hahaha
15. osanilevich (Posts: 284; Member since: 29 Sep 2009)
unless HP will continue to support webOS after discontinuation, there is no point of purchasing a touchad (or any webOS device for that matter)
17. The_Miz (Posts: 1496; Member since: 06 Apr 2011)
At $100, it's a steal and better than anything with Android on it.
38. RORYREVOLUTION (Posts: 3108; Member since: 12 Jan 2010)
and with all that money you saved you can buy all the miz posters you want. Just need some hand lotion now ;]

I like turtles
18. OpTiKaWn (unregistered)

55. graceR12 (Posts: 1; Member since: 03 Oct 2011)
Best Buy is the largest consumer electronics retailer in the world. As the winter season approaches, Best Buy plans to boost its online presence. The technology company also plans to reduce short-term hiring by half. Those out of work and dreaming about some short-term relief will have to look elsewhere. Meanwhile, the merchant is spending unheard of quantity on its lobbying efforts. Best Buy spends more and hires fewer as the holiday season approaches. This is the company's way of combating its revenue losses.

Filling Power Vacuums in the New Global Legal Order
BCLR & ICLR symposium
Friday, October 12, 2012 | 9:00 a.m. – 5:15 p.m. | East Wing room 200
Globalization is a complex social process with many descriptions, definitions, critics, proponents, causes and implications. This symposium will focus on the consequences of one salient feature of globalization, nearly universally acknowledged—the devolution of power from the state.

This symposium is free and open to the public. No registration is required.

World Bank Signs Three New ERPAs for Biogas Projects in Mexico
8 November 2011: The World Bank signed three new emission reduction purchase agreements (ERPAs) with Bioenergía de Nuevo León, to buy 1 million carbon credits generated through a biogas plant in Monterrey, Mexico.
Through these projects, 70 percent of public lighting in Monterrey comes from clean biogas produced by the city's waste facility. During the day, electricity from the plant is also used for the city's metro system. The project has also benefitted from GEF funding and the Danish Carbon Fund.

Gift Annuities
Charitable gift annuities are used by donors to transfer cash or marketable securities to the College and receive fixed payments for life for themselves and/or another loved one.
Example: Virginia, age 80 and very active, wants to contribute to the Centenary Fund for Student Scholarships, but wants to use the income from a portion of her assets for her favorite hobby — traveling. After talking with members of the Philanthropy department at the College, Virginia realizes that she can transfer $35,000 to the College for a gift annuity and receive $3,220 per year (9.2%), part of which is tax-free income. She will also benefit from a $16,527 tax deduction now. At Virginia's death, her $35,000 annuity becomes a gift to the College's endowment.

Our clinical services currently are directed at providing evaluations and treatment for patients being considered for solid organ transplantation at Duke.
Biofeedback and Pain Management Services [3] – We seek to treat psychological and psychophysiological factors and processes that are associated with the onset, maintenance, and resolution of chronic pain. Our clinicians treat chronic pain in a number of disease states including low back and failed back surgery syndromes, fibromyalgia, sickle cell disease, headaches, neuropathic conditions, phantom limb pains, post-surgical pains, urological and gastric pains.

Medical Management of mental health disorders and/or cravings to help prevent relapse is available through referral by the treating therapist.

Some Jewish Voters Wear Their Hearts on Their Heads
Estelle Julian expects to turn some heads with the political message on her head this week. The 76-year-old Jewish Republican will be sporting a yarmulke with the words "John McCain is Zayer Shain," Yiddish for "John McCain is Great," at a Reform synagogue in Hillsborough, N.J.
The traditional Jewish head covering is usually plain, with solid colors or simple patterns. But this year, a number of American Jews will observe the Jewish New Year, which begins Monday night, with yarmulkes promoting presidential candidates.
Shlomo Perelman, owner of Judaism.com, said political yarmulkes first became popular during the 2000 election season, when Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut became the first Jew on a major-party presidential ticket. That year, Mr. Perelman sold 60 of the yarmulkes, also known as kippahs. This year, they are making a bigger splash in the Jewish community. Mr. Perelman has sold about 160, and another retailer, Shmuel Tennenhaus, has sold more than 400. "You're going to have quite a political statement in all the [synagogues] around the country," said Mr. Perelman.
Mr. Tennenhaus began selling political yarmulkes through a Web site he launched in late June called vanitykippah.com. His self-designed kippahs for supporters of Barack Obama say "The Obamicah" on one side and "My bubby [Yiddish for grandmother] is voting for Obama" on the other. Ms. Julian's McCain kippah was also one of Mr. Tennenhaus's creations.
Mr. Tennenhaus has sold 269 in support of Sen. McCain -- including five dozen to his campaign -- and 172 in favor of Sen. Obama. The figures are surprising, given that typically, Jewish-Americans have voted overwhelmingly Democratic in presidential elections. Sales of Mr. Perelman's yarmulkes are more true to form, with Obama kippahs easily the top sellers.
Judy Davidson, a member of Sen. McCain's National Jewish Advisory Coalition, purchased several dozen to hand out at the Republican National Convention.
Not everyone is amused. "It's inappropriate," said Rabbi Shammai Engelmayer of Temple Israel Community Center in Cliffside Park, N.J., president of the North Jersey Board of Rabbis. "Would anybody put 'Vote for McCain' or 'Vote for Obama' on a cross? Anybody who did that would be considered sacrilegious."
Ari Schulman, a 24-year-old Jewish real-estate broker in Long Island, N.Y., and a registered Republican, says he'd never wear a yarmulke with a political message on it. "Advertising on a kippah is inconsistent with Jewish ideology," he says.
"The point of a kippah is to indicate a certain level of humility, that our ego stops here," says Rabbi Michael Lerner of Beyt Tikkun, a Jewish renewal synagogue in San Francisco. "When that religious point gets transformed into an advertisement for a political candidate, or simply a way for somebody to make lots of money, I think there's a misuse of a religious object taking place."
When are gimmicky business ideas worth pursuing? See Sarah Needleman's post and share your thoughts.
Rabbi Stephen Stern of the Arden Heights Boulevard Jewish Center in Staten Island, N.Y., disagreed. "The yarmulke doesn't have any holiness attached to it," he said, unlike a prayer shawl that is used in religious rituals. He says kippahs with political messages are akin to ones with sports-team logos, which most people accept now. "They just have a different theme to them," he explains.
Wayne L. Firestone, president and chief executive officer of Hillel, the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, says yarmulkes touting presidential candidates reflect a modern way that many young Jews express themselves. "Students tend to feel very strongly about their views," he says. '[They] want to be able to share that with their friends in the community in which they're socializing."

text: A health magazine reported that physicians measured 100 adults' blood pressure using two different arm positions: parallel to the body (along the side) and perpendicular to the body (straight out). Readings in the parallel position were up to 10 percent higher than those in the perpendicular position, regardless of whether the patient was standing, sitting, or lying down. Explain the possible cause for the difference.

Question: Last summer, the leaves of my red-twig dogwood were almost entirely eaten by masses of little caterpillars. Is there anything I can do if it happens again?
Answer: The evil little eaters are the larvae of the dogwood sawfly, a non-stinging cousin of wasps. For the last two years they have attacked a small pagoda dogwood I have, skeletonizing most of the foliage so that only the rib veins remain.
Here's the bad news: They aren't caterpillars, which are the larvae of butterflies and moths. It's bad because Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis), the natural control that is so safe and useful for cabbage loopers and tomato hornworms and their kin, will do nothing to stop sawfly larvae.

Charles Ramsey's turbulent 15 minutes of fame
NEW YORK -- Helping to free three women from a decade in captivity would seem to be enough. Neighbor Charles Ramsey also has become a star, offering moments of levity in an unspeakably horrible story, free publicity for a restaurant chain and unexpected lessons in race relations.
Ramsey lived next door to where Ariel Castro is alleged to have kept the women in a makeshift prison until Monday afternoon, when Ramsey happened to be home and heard Amanda Berry's scream.
Or let him tell it: "I got the day off from work, so naturally you're doing nothing."
Actually, he was "eating my McDonald's," a fact he trumpeted so frequently that the grateful food giant is trying to get in touch with him. A website that compiled some of Ramsey's television interviews kept count of how many times he mentioned McDonald's in each.
Ramsey, 43, gave a series of interviews to television stations. The interviews are performance art masterpieces, so filled with colorful language and astute reporting that he trended on Twitter and was the subject of Internet memes.
During his initial interviews, Ramsey said he "used to barbecue with this dude. We eat ribs and whatnot, listen to salsa music."
There was nothing exciting about Castro, he said. "Until today."

"You spot them four runs right out of the gate, it's tough to overcome that," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said.
Soriano connected again with a leadoff blast in the third, a drive that bounced off the top of the wall and went out.
Happ (3-4) allowed five runs and seven hits in 4 2-3 innings. He walked two and struck out five.
Gardner threw out Toronto's Moises Sierra at home plate in the fifth. Sierra hit a one-out double and was waved home on Ryan Goins' single, but Gardner charged the ball and threw it to catcher Chris Stewart, who tagged out the sliding Sierra.
Reynolds hit a leadoff homer off Rogers in the sixth, his 17th.
NOTES: Toronto grounded into inning-ending double plays in the sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth. J.P. Arencibia was the batter in the seventh and ninth. ... Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos said Gibbons will return in 2014, even though the team is in last place. ... Gibbons said RHP Josh Johnson (strained right forearm) won't return this season. ... Toronto RHP Chien-Ming Wang cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Buffalo.

"99ers" — those long-term unemployed who have exhausted all available 99 weeks of unemployment benefits — have formed the American 99ers Union to lobby Congress to create a Tier V of federal unemployment benefits, she reports.
The coalition is comprised of a number of groups: Advocacy For the Long Term Unemployed (AFLTU), Extend Unemployment Benefits, Jobless Unite, the Layoff List, Now: Jobless / Next: Homeless, Tier 5 Unemployment Extension Needed,
Tier 5 To Survive Unemployed Unite, UCubed, The Unemployment Examiner,
Unemployed-Friends, Unemployed States of America, Unemployed Underemployed, Active For Progressive Change in Government, Unemployed Voices, Unemployed Workers Action Group, United, Angry, Voters, and 99ers United.
The American 99ers Union first order of business is to get members and readers to join in a faxing/emailing/calling campaign on Wednesday, Sept. 22, between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. in order to get the Americans Want to Work Act, introduced by Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, passed into law.
The bill would create an additional tier of federal unemployment benefits that would provide 20 additional weeks of benefits for people in states with an unemployment rate of 7.5 percent or higher as well as extend through 2011 the HIRE Act tax credit, which cuts payroll taxes for businesses that hire workers who have been unemployed longer than eight weeks and provides a $1,000 tax credit for each new worker employed for at least a year.
The bill is stuck in committee and doesn't appear likely to pass any time soon.
According the American 99ers Union: "An avalanche of messages received all in one day will clearly demonstrate to the Senators that there are indeed many of us who desperately need this bill to be signed into law."
The union recommends that people contact their own two senators since senators often ignore requests that come from out of state.
The union aims to wield the political clout of the 99ers and those who support them. It writes:
"Inform our senators that we are watching their votes very closely and we will vote against those who oppose this bill in the November election, encourage our friends and family to vote against them and use the internet and media to encourage the general public to vote against those who will not help Americans who are suffering without unemployment insurance during this national emergency."

Weld County commissioners on Wednesday upheld a decision county health officials made in November to deny an ambulance license to University of Colorado Health.
The appeal on Wednesday was from a decision made before a lengthy overhaul of the county's ambulance code earlier this year, commissioners said, so UC Health will have to apply for a license under the new rules.
Before the code change, ambulance providers were required to have a primary base of operations in the county or provide primary care to get a license in Weld County. As of early February, the code reads that providers can get a first-tier license if they have a contract with a fire protection district in the county.
UC Health recently signed contracts with three fire protection districts — Windsor-Severance Fire Rescue and Johnstown and Milliken fire protection districts — meaning the organization qualifies for a license under the new rules. But Amy Kolczak, who legally represents UC Health, said the organization appealed the original decision with the hopes that officials would not have to go through the lengthy, and somewhat costly, process of reapplying.
It costs about $5,000 to pay for inspections and fees to reapply, in addition to a reexamination of all of the ambulance equipment and protocols, she said. By the time the reapplication process is complete, Kolczak said UC Health may not meet its contract with the three fire protection districts to begin service in May.
Kolczak said UC Health officials were confident they would win an appeal under the old rules, citing a facility in Greeley that UC Health officials said served as their primary base for operations within Weld County. UC Health argued it was not fair to deny its original license application because a number of other ambulance providers with no base of operations in the county and no provision of primary care got their license renewed, such as Platte Valley Ambulance Services, Kolczak said.
But Weld County Commissioner Barbara Kirkmeyer said she disagreed. Fort Collins-based UC Health does not have a primary base in Weld, she said. The Greeley facility was not even leased to UC Health until after the initial application in November, and managerial and other activities don't occur there, Kirkmeyer said.
"It's a location to park their ambulances," she said.
Only Commissioner Doug Rademacher disagreed with Kirkmeyer, saying that UC Health met the requirements in the fall and certainly meets them now because of its contracts with fire protection districts. Rademacher was the sole commissioner to vote to overturn the county's previous decision.

Da Vinci Code, The
When Jacques Saunière gets murdered inside the Louvre, history specialist Robert Langdon is requested to attend the murder scene by Captain Bezu Fache: on the ground there are several codes written the Langdon may explain, but more important: Langdon's name is present as well which makes Fache think Langdon is the murderer. Langdon doesn't know this but agent Sophie Neveu who was related to Saunière believes the message the dead man wrote is a sign that Langdon has a message for her. After all, Langdon was supposed to meet Saunière that day.
Veneu decides to help Langdon stay out of the hands of Fache and together they head off to unravel the mystery of the puzzle Saunière has laid out. A puzzle that will lead them to a religious secret that has been protected for centuries and may shake the foundations of Christianity.
Sound and Vision:
The image quality is almost perfect with hair sharp details, no compression errors and good use of colors and contrast. Great job!
Also the audio is very well done with an ambiant 5.1 track that makes perfect use of the different channels for music as well as effects.
Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code was a major bestseller and this of course had to result in a movie. At the box office, the Da Vinci Code did very well and I'm sure Sony won't be disappointed by the DVD sales but personally I was very disappointed by the movie. The actors seem to be doing their job on auto-pilot except for Ian McKellen who does a splendid job. Hanks has made Langdon a rather smart version of Forrest Gump while Tatou tends to break the limits of over-acting at times. Paul Bettany on the other hand plays like a robot and doesn't manage to uplift his character above the average robot-like extremist.
I haven't read the book myself but if the movie is anything like it, I'm really wondering what's so special about it. Is it "shocking" that the catholic church isn't a bunch of good guys? I really don't think so. Is the plot so amazingly special that we haven't seen anything like it in years? Actually, I found it quite predictable. So, what makes The Da Vinci Code so special? Honestly, I wouldn't know. In my opinion it's a rather mediocre thriller that does its job but doesn't stand out in any way.
The DVD itself stands out in the image and sound department, but if you want some extras, you'll have to go for the more expensive special editions.

Pool pumps are used to circulate water as part of a swimming pool water filtration system. You should circulate the entire amount of water in the pool at least once per day.
How Much Horsepower (HP) Do I Need?
The necessary HP for your pool pump depends on the size of your pool. When in doubt about the size of your replacement pump, match HP with the previous model. If you don't know the HP, check the ordering information charts.
How do I calculate the capacity of my pool?
If your pool is circular…
If your pool is rectangular…
How Much Horsepower (HP) Do I Need?
The necessary horse power (HP) for your pool pump depends on the size of your pool. If replacing a pool pump, normally you want to match HP of a new pump with the previous model's HP. If you don't know the HP, use this chart as a guide for the number of gallons circulated by a pump according to the number of hours the pump is run per day. To comply with Title 20 energy savings standards, choose WAYNE model WIP90, 9/10 HP pool pump.
What is Title 20 Compliant?
Pool operation consumes up to 20% of a typical home owner's electric bill. Title 20 is an appliance efficiency standard adopted by California, and other states, that requires a pool pump to meet certain energy and performance specifications. You'll find our WIP90 pool pump listed in the database of pool pumps certified to ANSI/APSP-15 on the web site for The Association of Pool & Spa Professionals®. Check your local codes for pool pump motor efficiency requirements.
More ways to save energy, from Rosie Romero, an Arizona homebuilding and remodeling industry expert for 35 years:
1. Sign up with your electric utility for a time-of-use rate plan. You'll pay a reduced rate for electricity if you run your pool pump and other appliances, such as your dishwasher or washing machine during hours of the day when demand for electricity isn't at its peak.
2. Run your pool pump less. It's not necessary to run it round-the-clock. Most manufacturers recommend running it between eight and 10 hours a day in the summer and about half that in the winter.
3. Put a timer on the pump so it automatically shuts off after those hours, and set it to run only when you're paying off-peak rates.
4. Switch to LEDs, which use up to 75 percent less energy than your traditional incandescent underwater lights. LEDs last for years and come in multiple colors.
5. Keep your chemicals in balance. Doug Sydenham of Postorino Pool Service & Repair in Scottsdale says it costs about $125 to have a pool service come out and test the level of "total dissolved solids," such as calcium, in the water and determine whether you need to drain and refill your pool.
6. Clean trap baskets, filters and pool walls and floor regularly. Clogged baskets and filters can prevent the water from flowing freely and will slow your filter. The harder the pump has to work to keep the pool clean, the more you'll pay to run it.
How Do I Install My New Pool Pump?
Pool pumps should be placed on a solid, level surface as close to a pool/spa as possible, while complying with NEC and local codes. When installing a pool pump, locate the pump in a dry, well ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Water should never come in contact with the pump motor.
Before you leave the store, make sure you have:
Screwdriver, Pipe Wrench, Adjustable Wrench, Hacksaw, Knife, Pipe Clamps and Check Valve.
INSTALLATION Highlights: In-ground pool pumps are self-priming. Mount pump below water level for easy priming. If the pump must be located above the filled water level, keep the vertical distance to a minimum. Keep the piping as straight and short as possible. Slope horizontal runs upward to the pump to prevent trapping air. Use independent piping supports to alleviate strain on the pump. Install valves and unions in the pump suction and return lines to facilitate servicing. Add a check valve in the suction pipe for in-ground pumps at or below the water level and keep it fully open during operation. Plug into power source once all connections are complete.

Several plant descriptions might include hollylike leaves, yellow flowers or both, and seven kinds of perennials offer both these attractive features within the range of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8 through 10. Despite their different light, soil and water preferences, all seven share the toughness and tolerance of challenging growing conditions characteristic of plants originating as American natives.
Berberis Varieties
Also named Mahonia, Berberis aquifolium is one of the approximately 15 species of the large barberry (Berberis spp.) family described as pointy- or prickly-leaved. Gardeners know these species as Oregon grape, mountain grape or grape holly, hardy in USDA zones 5 through 10 and tolerant of a wide variety of growing conditions. Species range from upright bushes 4 to 6 feet high and as wide, including Berberis aquifolium Pursh, to creeping types from 8 to 24 inches high such as Berberis aquifolium var. reptens. Yellow spring flowers are followed by wildlife-attracting bluish-black fall berries and evergreen foliage that takes on red color in the fall. Tough, soil-holding roots provide erosion control and enable survival on dry slopes. Originally woodland plants, these garden varieties tolerate a range of sun, shade and moisture conditions.
Low- to Midsized Shrubs
For hot, windy full-sun areas, dwarf coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis), also called coyote bush and chapparal broom, brings yellow flowers and leathery, toothed leaves to these sometimes-difficult growing conditions. Evergreen coyote brush is hardy in USDA zones 8 through 10 and needs low to moderate water. Yellow male flowers appear July through October, and most nursery plants originate from male plant cuttings. Female plant flowers are white, cottony and messy. Coyote brush grows to between 4 and 8 feet high and wide and tolerates a range of poor-soil and erosion-prone conditions. Fragrant sumac (Rhus aromatica) also tolerates poor, rocky or shallow soil but requires moderate moisture and good drainage. Hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9, it is a sprawling low shrub, from 2 to 6 feet high with a 6- to 10-foot spread. Yellow April flowers and shiny trifoliate toothed oval leaves are followed by red berries. Fragrant foliage turns shades of red in fall. Frequently dioecious -- bearing one sex of flowers -- sumac is sometimes monoecious, combining yellow male catkins and tiny clusters of yellow female flowers on the same bush.
Large Shrubs
"Ilicifolia" is a species descriptor meaning "holly-leaved." Holly-leaf redberry (Rhamnus crocea ilicifolia) and holly-leaf cherry (Prunus ilicifolia) share evergreen holly-shaped foliage, yellow-tinged flowers and red berries attractive to birds and wildlife. Hardy in USDA zones 7 through 9, redberry sports yellow-green flower clusters in spring, followed by red summer berries. Foliage is evergreen, rounded and toothed. Redberry grows in full sun to partial shade, tolerating sandy soil, dry soil and salty air. Bushy shrubs reach 3 to 15 feet in height with a spread of 5 to 10 feet. The flowers of hollyleaf cherry are white or cream with yellow centers, blooming from March to May. Berries ripen in early fall. Once eaten by Native Americans, who called the plant islay, berries attract birds and other wildlife. Evergreen leaves are dark, glossy green. Fast-growing, up to 24 inches in a season, holly-leaf cherry reaches 25 feet in USDA hardiness zones 9 and 10. This shrub has broad light, water and soil tolerances, including the ability to grow in very acid or very alkaline soil.
Evergreen Oaks
Canyon live oak (Quercus chrysolepis) is a multistemmed shrub or tree reaching between 16 and 65 feet in USDA zones 5 through 10. Yellow-green spring flowers are followed by acorns. Evergreen foliage is noticeably toothed and holly-like. Canyon live oak has an affinity for sunny to part-shade slopes, growing wild in chaparral woodlands and mixed forests. Like its smaller cousin, huckleberry oak, it is a good choice for erosion control. Huckleberry oak (Quercus vaccinifolia) is a low, spreading, thicket-forming evergreen from 1 to 5 feet high and 1 to 10 feet wide. Hardy in USDA zones 6a through 9b, huckleberry oak has oval, dark green, lightly toothed leaves and displays yellow catkins in the spring. It favors southern exposed slopes in the wild and is a tenacious soil holder.

A Pakistani imam now faces blasphemy charges for setting up a learning disabled teen.
Imam Khalid Chishti is accused of planting pages of the Koran in a bag containing burned papers carried by the girl to make it look like she had burned Islam's holy book.
The cleric was arrested late Saturday night after his deputy and two other men told a magistrate he had planted the pages in her bag.
"I have not done anything wrong, this is a fabrication," he told reporters as he was led to court, blindfolded, and shackled.
The 14-year-old girl, who is believed to have Down syndrome, is still in maximum security prison after a court extended her detention. She could face life in prison if convicted of desecrating the Koran.
Her attorney said Chishti's arrest proves his client's innocence, and he will ask the court to dismiss the charges at her bail hearing on Monday.
Chishti allegedly told witnesses it was a way to "get rid of Christians."

I'm really not sure why Rangers fans were so baffled with the Blueshirts loss to the Flyers Sunday afternoon at MSG considering they hadn't won a Game 2 on home ice since beating Vancouver in the Stanley Cup Finals in 1994.
Yes, you read that correctly, the Rangers haven't won a Game 2 at the World's Most Famous Arena in 20 years.
So what's the best remedy for home struggles? Going on the road of course.
The Rangers were the epitome of road warriors this year as they set a franchise record with 25 wins away from the Garden, which was tied for second most in the NHL.
They were 8th in the NHL with 111 road goals and 3rd in road goals allowed with just 99.
For the fancy stat crowd, the Rangers had the 7th best road Corsi % (shot attempts for compared to against) with a 50.7% as well as the 6th ranked road Fenwick (unblocked shot attempts for compared to against) with 51.1%.
Here's Vigneault on what's made the Rangers so successful away from home (via NHL.com)…
"If you look at our road record, we have that because we continue to play the same high-tempo, north-south type of game and rolling the lines quickly," Vigneault said. "There are certain matchups that we are looking for. There are certain we don't want. Once we're in the flow and the guys are playing well and executing well, sometimes you're not as concerned about matchups as you are pace and tempo."
The road was also the setting of three of the team's most memorable and unlikely victories this season.
October 26, 2013 – Sitting at 2-6-0 and their season on the cusp of spiraling out of control before even playing a home game due to the MSG renovations, the Rangers put together a spirited effort at Joe Louis Arena, which resulted in a 3-2 overtime victory over the Red Wings on a Derrick Brassard breakaway winner. What seemed all but certain to be a 2-7-0 season opening road trip turned into 3-6-0 and two weeks later the Rangers were above .500.
November 16, 2013 – With the Rangers still floundering around the .500 mark, a visit to their House of Horrors (aka the Bell Centre) seemed like a guaranteed loss for the underachieving Blueshirts. However, behind the superb goaltending of Cam Talbot the Rangers held on for a 1-0 victory, their first win in Montreal since 2009.
March 16, 2014 – With the Rangers dropping into one of the dreaded wild card positions after losing three of four at a crucial time of the season, a visit to the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, where the Blueshirts have a notoriously tough time playing, seemed like a tall order. But behind their biggest offensive output of the season, the Rangers defeated the Senators 8-4 lifting them back into third place in the Metropolitan Division while catapulting them to a 9-2-2 finish to the season and home ice in the first round of the playoffs.
Now, I'd be remiss if I failed to remind everyone that the Rangers were 0-2-0 at the Wells Fargo Center this year, while being outscored 6-3. In the Blueshirts defense, the first loss was during that disastrous nine-game season opening road trip, while the second defeat was Henrik Lundqvist's first start after the Olympic break. So, the Flyers caught them at very opportune times.
While tonight's Game 3 in Philadelphia may seem like a daunting task, the reality is the Rangers have the Flyers right where they want them.

A British company has invented a new camera that can see weapons, drugs or explosives under people's clothing from up to 80-feet away.
The Thruvision company developed the T5000 camera device to combat terrorism. They say it could be used in crowded airports, shopping malls and at military installations.
Company officials say the camera does not reveal any physical details and is harmless to people. They explain that it's a key way to enhance security.
"Acts of terrorism have shaken the world in recent years and security precautions have been tightened globally," said Clive Beattie, the chief executive of ThruVision. "The ability to see both metallic and non-metallic items on people out to 25 meters is certainly a key capability that will enhance any comprehensive security system."
But critics are worried that Britain is just becoming a surveillance society. Hundreds of thousands of closed-circuit cameras monitor people every day throughout the entire country.
How Does it Work?
The camera uses imaging technology to identify objects by the natural electromagnetic rays, known as Terahertz rags, or T-Rays that they emit.
The technology behind camera works on the basis that all people and objects emit low levels of electromagnetic radiation. Researchers say Terahertz rays are somewhere between infrared and microwaves on the electromagnetic spectrum and they travel through clouds and walls.
Each piece of material has its own unique wave. Therefore explosives can be distinguished from a block of clay and cocaine will appear different from a bag of flour.

This appetizers came just at right moment!
I used whole grain toast and I crushed the fennel seeds with the mortar.
We loved it, and we think to prepare this during the holidays again! The fennel is a great change in the guacamole and fits perfect with the salmon. I couldn't expect a better combination.
I took this recipe for the colors (green and salmon), but we are really impressed about the taste and unusual combination with fennel. Thanks a lot for this great winner!
LOVED it! But sorry for not using french bread, I used oatmeal crackers instead since I wanted to serve it as a (bite-size) starter. Everybody enjoyed it, including DD, and got a lot of 'hhhmmmmm's! I loved the addition of fennel seeds and the carrot gave a nice little crunch to it. I didn't mash the avocados, I chopped them instead. Thank you, Studentchef, for sharing this wonderful recipe, I definitely will be making it again, next time with french bread!
Yum! This made a great brunch for me.I quartered the recipe to make 3 toasts. I used rye bread and red onion. Thanks!

(Editor's note: This month, we asked
Tribune readers to share their holiday memories.)
Growing up in Weld County as a youngster I remember the stock market crash causing a lot of economy problems. Then along came the Dust Bowl days as I remember seeing the sun as a faint yellow glow in the mid afternoon. Now fast forward to the fall of 1945, I was stationed at Inchon, Korea.
At that time, cell phones and computers were on the drawing board. So the only contact from my bride of one year and family was by U.S. Postal service and two-week delivery. On the night of Dec. 20, 1945, our sleeping quarters caught fire. When fire trucks arrived there was no water — the hydrants were frozen. The fire finally burned itself out. We were then quartered in an abandoned five-story building that had no heat or electricity.
For a Christmas program on Christmas Eve, our chaplain had services in another factory warehouse with dirt floors. The pews were empty nail kegs with planks laid over them. The service men that attended were dressed up in the new issued (because of the fire) OD color khaki work uniforms. We sang Christmas carols a capella. Tape decks and CDs were not even invented then. After a very inspiring service and taking communion, we sang the Doxology. After all these years when I sing this song my eyes start to produce moisture.
It was then that I prayed, giving thanks that I was there instead of lying somewhere in a foxhole on that cold night.

With all the excitement over renewable energy, it might be reasonable to assume that fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas will go the way of the steam engine in the next 20 years.
Not so fast, says Daniel Yergin, author and one of the most influential voices in the world of energy.
"There is always the possibility that something big will happen very quickly, but probably not," Yergin said in an interview this week before delivering a lecture at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
"On a worldwide basis, about 80 percent of energy today is oil, gas, and coal. You say, What's it going to be in 2030? Most studies say somewhere about 75 percent of the bigger pot."

The use of financial compensation as a recruitment tool in medical research
continues to be debated on ethical grounds. Critics are against economic or
market models, in which market forces determine payment practices, primarily
because of the perceived undue inducement potential1- 11 and
on other grounds,1,12 including
that participants from lower socioeconomic levels bear a disproportionate
share of the research burden.3 Many of these
arguments apply not only to the purest market model but to any model in which
compensation to participants exceeds some threshold. We argue that economic
forces operate regardless of how investigators choose to compensate participants.
Thus, it is imperative that investigators acknowledge these forces and design
compensation schemes that explicitly take economic forces into account.

Duvall resident Alan Rumpf displayed his collection of tops at the grand opening of Children's Services of Sno-Valley's Family Center in Duvall.

by Lisa Allen, Valley View editor
DUVALL--Although the younger kids attending last week's Children's Services of Sno-Valley's Family Center grand opening may not have appreciated the significance of the event, they certainly demonstrated their appreciation of the variety of kids' stuff the Center offers.
Dozens of youngsters made use of the play equipment and toys even while the speeches dedicating the facility were ongoing. After all, kids are what the Center is all about.
"We are celebrating something here I have looked forward to for a long time," said Children's Services Director Joan Sharp. "Even though we have brought home-based programs here and to the schools, we have finally brought our full vision of nurturing and educating children and families to Duvall." Children's Services of Sno-Valley is based in North Bend.
An exuberant King County Executive Ron Sims aided in the ribbon cutting for the new facility. "In my neighborhood years ago, the parents organized to develop a center for kids," Sims said. "It was incredible for the neighborhood, and it is so nice now to see wonderful things happening in the Valley. I am honored to be here."
Center Coordinator Maria Fuller said she appreciated the work done by all the volunteers and youngsters who helped out. "I want to thank everybody," she said. "With everyone's help the things that can happen are astounding."

No. 6 Cal will play the Ducks at 12:30 p.m. Saturday in Autzen, and to look at the Golden Bears is to see Oregon as it used to be.
Cal coach Jeff Tedford was the UO offensive coordinator in the magical 2001 season, in which the Ducks won the Pac-10 title outright and punished Colorado in the Fiesta Bowl. He essentially runs the same offense at Cal.
Both Cal coordinators -- defensive coordinator Bob Gregory and offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig -- spent time at Oregon.
Running backs coach Ron Gould played at Oregon and began his coaching career there.
Director of football operations Mike McHugh held the same job at Oregon. Strength coach John Krasinski was a strength coach at Oregon. Equipment manager Ed Garland was an assistant equipment manager at Oregon. Video coordinator Matt Fox worked as an assistant video coordinator at Oregon. Recruiting assistant Kevin Parker played for the Ducks and has an Oregon degree.
It's interesting, because in some ways the Cal program is more like the Ducks of 10 years ago than Oregon is now.
R-G columnist George Schroeder wrote this morning about Ludwig, who replaced Tedford as UO offensive coordinator.
Note the quote by former UO coach and current athletic director Mike Bellotti in Schroeder's column. It sounds like Bellotti was happy to see Ludwig leave.
Ludwig, of course, landed on his feet at Utah, where the Utes went unbeaten and won the Sugar Bowl last season. He went Cal prior to this season, and his guys lead the Pac-10 in scoring and total offense after three games -- although, admittedly, the Bears haven't played a very demanding early schedule.
Bellotti took the Ducks in a different direction after Ludwig's departure, adopting a spread offense that ultimately led to Chip Kelly becoming UO coach.
So a very interesting subplot to the game Saturday will be the clash of offensive philosophies, between Kelly's spread and the more traditional, pro-oriented attack the Ducks used for about two decades.
At the moment -- especially since USC's faceplant last week in Seattle -- the Bears are the trendy pick to win the conference title. But this will be Cal's first major hurdle of the season, and should give us a read on whether the Bears are legit and whether this Oregon team will contend for something more than a bottom-feeder bowl game.
