New Trees for Transition Garden
This week we have been planting trees in the Transition Garden.
Before I launch into an animated discussion on the individual plants we've chosen for the space, let me give you a basic primer on what the Transition Garden is all about. Firstly, this is the space that ramps you up from the lower level of our new Car Park to the Entrance Plaza where you'll get your tickets. It is a nice gentle slope, so it will be easy for people of all abilities to make their way into the North Campus. It is also a stepped garden on a fairly severe slope. With these points in mind Mia Lehrer + Associates (ML+A) had to design a garden that would function physically, biologically, and thematically (we wanted more than just a random selection of plants). Thanks to ML+A this garden tells a great story.

Apple defends position on cash
Apple chief executive Tim Cook fired back against hedge fund mogul David Einhorn, defending the company's distribution of cash to its shareholders and calling a recent lawsuit filed by Einhorn's firm "a silly sideshow."
Cook's remarks, made at a Goldman Sachs technology conference on Tuesday in San Francisco, were his first public comments about the suit, which was filed by Einhorn's Greenlight Capital last week in a New York federal court.
Greenlight's suit aims to stop the vote on an Apple proposal to require a shareholder vote to issue preferred stock. It alleges that Apple's proxy violates a rule of the US Securities and Exchange Commission by bundling the preferred stock provision together with other items.
"I find it bizarre we would find ourselves being sued for doing something that's good for shareholders," Cook said. "I think it would be a lot better use of funds to donate that time and money to a worthy cause."
Einhorn is pursuing the measure as he tries to prod Apple to return more of its $137bn in cash to shareholders through a new preferred class of stock that would issue dividends.
Cook called the idea "creative" and said Apple is in "very active discussions" about returning more cash to shareholders. Last year, the Cupertino, California company announced plans to return $45bn over three years through a dividend and stock-buyback programs.
A spokesman for Greenlight responded by saying, "If Apple thinks the lawsuit is a waste of resources, it could simply end the matter by complying with existing law" by unbundling the proposed changes. On Tuesday, shareholder advisory firm Glass Lewis & Co said it supported Apple's proposal. Glass Lewis said that it was "somewhat concerned" with the bundling of items in the proposal, however. Institutional Shareholder Services sided with Apple on the proposal last week.
Cook said the cash pile "is not burning a hole in our pocket" and the company has made an acquisition about every other month for the past three years. The deals tend to be small and related to controlling the "primary technology behind our products."
Apple has looked at large acquisitions, but "it didn't pass our test." He said Apple will likely look at large deals in the future, but aims to have a "disciplined and thoughtful" acquisition strategy.
"We don't feel a pressure to go out and acquire revenue," he said.
Apple shares were trading up about 1% during much of Cook's keynote interview Tuesday morning, but they fell afterward, ending down 2.5% at $467.90.
The stock has taken a hit after Apple last month reported slowing fourth-quarter revenue and profit growth. The results further fanned concerns about consumer demand for Apple's devices.
Some investors said Cook's remarks gave them confidence in the company's growth. "I liked his answers," said Morris Mark, president of Mark Asset Management in New York.
He said he was encouraged that Cook was "not dismissive" of Einhorn's proposal.
Mark said his firm sold a "material" amount of Apple stock last year, but lately has been holding or moderately increasing its position.
Cook grew animated when the conversation veered toward Apple's culture and innovation track record, repeating his oft-used phrase that innovation at the company "has never been stronger."
He played down concerns over iPhone market-share growth. He said only half of global wireless subscribers currently have access to the iPhone, leaving plenty of room for expansion.
Cook wouldn't detail whether Apple would consider making a cheaper version of the iPhone, especially for prepaid wireless customers in emerging markets. He stressed the company has taken steps to make products more affordable and highlighted its broad line of iPod media players that come in different models. "The only thing we will never do is make a crappy product," he said.
Cook said the company was surprised by the level of demand for the two-generation-old iPhone 4 in the fourth quarter. In the US, the device is generally free at wireless carriers when customers sign a two-year service contract, and supply was constrained for much of the period.
He also said Apple plans to invest heavily in its retail stores, which averaged more than $50m in revenue per store last year. This fiscal year, Apple plans to expand the size of 20 stores and add 30 more world-wide. He said that when he needs a pick-me-up, he visits one of the company's stores, which he likened to "Prozac."

Boston beats Yankees 4-3By DOUG ALDEN
the associated press | August 02,2014BOSTON Anthony Ranaudo pitched six solid innings in his major league debut and Dustin Pedroia drove in two runs as the Boston Red Sox snapped a three-game losing streak with a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Friday night.
Ranaudo (1-0) allowed two runs and four hits, including a solo homer Carlos Beltran hit into the New York bullpen in the fourth.
Ranaudo walked four and struck out two, and he scattered the few mistakes he made well enough for Boston to hang on after taking a 2-0 lead in the third.
The Red Sox grabbed that 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third inning when Pedroia mashed a ground-rule double that scored Brock Holt.
Pedrioa scored when David Ortiz singled to right field.
Boston grabbed another run in the fourth inning on a single by David Ross that countered Beltrans homer in the top half of the inning. Beltran drove in another run in the sixth inning, making it a 3-2 game.
Boston grabbed one more run before Derek Jeter led off the eighth with a shot over the Green Monster to pull the Yankees within 4-3, but they failed to drive Mark Teixeira in for the tying run after his ground-rule double with one out.
Koji Uehara pitched the ninth for his 22nd save.

PRINCESS ANNE, Md. - (Oct. 14, 2011) - The Division of Institutional Advancement held its annual President's Donor Reception Oct. 13 to express appreciation to loyal supporters who helped the university reach – and exceed – its "Campaign for Excellence" goal.
Division vice president Gains Hawkins told those who attended the festivities in the Student Services Center ballroom that the campaign tally was $15 million when it ended June 30, topping a goal of $14 million set in 2002.
Many of the donations collected over the past seven years underwrite scholarships for deserving students, including three undergraduates in the Honors Program, who addressed the 2011 gathering.
Dr. Mortimer Neufville, (second from left) UMES interim president, with honors students, (from left): Michael Tadesse, Lauren Ritter, Yvonne Puplampu-Dove and Braia Spady.
Michael Tadessé and Lauren Ritter, both juniors, and senior Yvonne A. Puplampu-Dove offered heartfelt testimonials and expressed gratitude for the scholarships they've received.
Puplampu-Dove, a native of Ghana who calls Lanham, Md., home, is a biology major interested in a career in medicine; possibly bio-medical research.
She is the oldest of four siblings and will be the first in her immediate family to earn a college degree when she graduates in May 2012. She has a 3.8 grade point average.
"Receiving a scholarship was a surprise to me," she said, adding, "it also brought joy to my parents."
She spent the past two summers working as a research intern, including a stint at the University of Maryland Baltimore County tracking the migration of genes in the ovaries of fruit flies.
"It was very interesting," Puplampu-Dove, 21, said. "I learned a lot."
Tadessé, who was born in Ethiopia, said he had lots of college offers as a high school senior in Silver Spring, Md., but chose UMES because "I just had a feeling that I could come here and be someone."
Tadessé has a 3.5 GPA and is studying finance and marketing. He described the scholarship he received as "a life-changing award."
"I would like to acknowledge the donors for their generosity and for their contribution," he said at the reception. "Without your support, I would not be standing here … giving my gratitude."
"Your continued support of the university," he said, "is enormous in helping to provide a quality education in this fostering place and making us an elite HBCU."
Tadessé said some day he hopes to establish a non-profit organization to help the less-fortunate, especially children living in poverty.
Ritter, who is from Chincoteague, Va., is a transfer student from Eastern Shore Community College majoring in applied design with a specialization in photography.
Just 18, Ritter is already a junior (with a 4.0 GPA), who wants to pursue a career in commercial photography. She currently owns four cameras and hopes to acquire a Hasselblad, "the Mercedes Benz" of still photography, to achieve that goal.
She picked UMES because of its reputation in arts education and for its diversity. Her scholarship, Ritter told the audience, enabled her to remain in school.
"Your generosity has given me a new hope," she said, in reaching "the honor of being a graduate"I hope I will be able to help students achieve their goals just as you've helped me," Ritter said.
The donors also heard testimonials from two graduates, who had surrogates read statements about how scholarships helped them through school and find success after leaving UMES.
Bill Robinson, director, UMES Office of Public Relations, 410-621-2355.

"What's that contraption?" as a prompt is a good one, however what took my eye was the way they couple was dressed. In my great grandparent's day, one didn't venture forth to ride in those new-fangled contraptions in just any old clothes. Such an outing was an event, and must be considered so.
|Courtesy of the JGH & Roots"n'Leaves Archives
Here you see members of my McPherson family on a family auto outing. Based on the photo and the information in my Uncle Ralph's letters, it appears that this was a new car purchased by either Clare McPherson (back row, left) or Walter McPherson (who was most likely taking the photograph). My great grandparents, James B and Libby, never owned a car and depended upon their sons for automobile travel. They were more comfortable with the horse-drawn wagon or surrey.
Bundled into the car were my great grandparents James B. and Libby McPherson, their son Walter and his wife Grace, sons Donald, Bud and Lyle; and James and Libby's youngest son Clare. Their destination was Monticello, Minnesota, to visit Aggie Fiske (the eldest daughter of James and Libby), her husband Clive and their family. The trip would likely have taken a half a day or more from their home near Crow Wing Lake, which was about 150 miles north of Monticello. They would have stayed at least overnight, and probably for a couple of days before heading home.
I would venture to say that the photo was taken as the Crow Wing Lake folks were preparing to return home because they look like rather neat and tidy which is not what one would expect after a 5 hour or so drive from their homes up north. As you can see, the Fiske family's apparel is casual, everyday clothing, while those in the auto are neatly and stylishly dressed in warm clothes for the trip. Although Grace's attire is not visible, I am sure she was properly dressed for the occasion. Most pictures of my great grandfather James B McPherson show him in bibbed overalls, so he too was well dressed for the occasion.
|circa 1919, l to r: Clive Fiske, Olive Leone Fiske, Aggie (McPherson) Fiske,
and Henrietta Elizabeth (Libby) McPherson
Courtesy of the JGH & Roots"n'Leaves Archives
According to all reports, Libby was a frugal woman who could squeeze a penny to make a nickel. So I would guess that she made her driving outfit and took the pattern from a picture in a mail order catalog, such as the one below:
It looks to me like Libby patterned her outfit, with modifications, on the $4.35 number in the top row. Taffeta was one of the more popular fabrics used in this type of dress, and, to me, hers does look like taffeta. Her daughter-in-law Grace was a fashion conscious woman and more than likely had a newly purchased driving suit. In fact, Grace owned a stylish millenery store in Canada a few years before these pictures were taken.

John Maine is so hard on himself!
So far, spring hasn't been so kind to John Maine, but I'm not worried. He's coming back after surgery, just starting to get his groove back. He says he's pitching with no pain; he feels good. But poor Johnny is just so hard on himself!
We all know Carlos Delgado keeps a journal, and lately those with keen eyes will have seen Daniel Murphy jotting notes in a similar one. Now, an anonymous source sent me a copy of John Maine's journal. The one he keeps off the field…
Excerpt from the journal of John Maine:
Woke up at 7:08 today. I pressed snooze once, and I didn't intend to do that, but I feel good.
I burned the toast, threw the oven mitt on the floor. I can make better toast–I know I can. I'll have to do better next time.
Why couldn't I finish my crossword puzzle? Four squares empty. I can do the whole crossword. I don't know what happened. Those squares just got away from me. I'm mad.
Pelf beat me to warm up today. How could I let that happen? Must drive faster tomorrow.
Knew I shouldn't have pressed snooze.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yes, poor Johnny, give yourself a break.
I got sucked into watching the WBC yesterday– but it was a real joy! D-Wright went 3-for-5, and they beated Venezuela(!) like rented mules. It was all about pitching– V's lineup is loaded, but they have no bullpen. Also saw Australia beat Mexico (!) which was surreal.
Jose Reyes had a brilliant explanation for why the DR was beaten by the Netherlands on Saturday: "Baseball is crazy sometimes." Word!
Haha, yes for once Victor Zambrano came thru for us! And yes, Jose, wise words indeed.
Heya Zoe – In his haste, John also misdialed a cell number by pressing the 2 instead of the 5; ironed a crease into his chinos which was 2 degrees off vertical and spelt Port St Lucie 'Port St Lucia' in a postcard to his family. His day just goes from worse to worse. He needs to get a grip!I hope you don't mind, but I've added you to my list of favorite Mets bloggers. You're the first name on there on my MLBlog. Keep up the good work.Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
Seriously? I'd hate to see how he reacts when it comes to something that's REALLY important.
popej-thanks for the props!

Even though the output of wafers produced at 40nm node quadrupled at Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company in Q3 2009, actual yields of chips may be lower than back in Q2. TSMC itself considers the present yield issues "logistical problems".
According to a news-story from DigiTimes web-site, at present 40nm yields at TSMC are at approximately 40%, down from 60%. This might be an issue with the fact that both ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, Nvidia Corp. and some other customers have started to produce new designs at TSMC. However, the contract maker of chips claims that the source of the issue lies in matching the production equipment.
"Since we reported on [40nm] three months ago, we have fulfilled most of the expectations that we had at that time. However, new problems have also cropped up, but these new problems are logistical problems. They have to do with the ramp up of new production equipment. We have had to not only increase the yields, but also have had to ramp up the wafer starts on 40/45nm in the last six months and the ramp up speed has been unprecedented," said Morris Chang, the chairman and chief executive officer of TSMC.
Even though the vast majority of chamber matching problems was resolved by late Q3, some of them still persist and will affect the company's financial performance even in Q4 2009.
"Lots of new tools were brought in and they added a complexity to production. The problems that I have just mentioned that have cropped up recently had to do with two chamber matching. We consider these to be logistical problems and we are in the process of resolving them very quickly. […] Because of the reduction in the two chamber matching problems, the 40/45nm problem did affect the gross margin in the third quarter to the extent of about 1.5%s. Because the problems have not been completely resolved in the fourth quarter, the problem will further affect the fourth quarter gross margin to the extent of about 2%," added Mr. Chang.
TSMC believes that 40nm wafers are on track to reach about 10% of wafer revenue in the fourth quarter of 2009.

Patrick's #10 team using former #78 team crew
Neff: *One last question. Your pit crew this year that will be pitting Danica Patrick in the #10, is it your old crew from the #39, a whole new crew or a combination of old and new guys?
Gibson: "Actually, it is all guys that were working at Stewart-Haas last year that were pitting the #78 at the end of last year. That whole group of guys has moved over to the #10 team to pit Danica. The reason for that is that at least five of those guys work on the cars in the shop for our team. It makes more sense to take guys who work on the cars every day to be more connected to the cars when they get to the track. A lot of those guys I have worked with since the DEI days in the past. It pretty much just made sense to have those guys on the pit crew
from Jayski.
this is what I thought they would do for this season, before the season ended. But then I heard Ryan had a brand new crew & the 39 guys were going over to Danica. So is it untrue that Ryan got a new crew, or did they just get rid of the old 39 crew. Now I am confused. Maybe Danica said, #### no I dont want that slow A$S crew over here pitting for me

Skip to comments.Labor dept. backs off rule to limit farm work by kids
Posted on 04/26/2012 6:04:27 PM PDT by prairiebreeze
The U.S. Department of Labor is withdrawing a rule that would have limited the sorts of work that children can do on farms.
(Excerpt) Read more at minnesota.publicradio.org ...
I searched, didn't see this news posted.
Good news, but I'm still livid at the very thought.
Calls were made
Even the liberal frenchman was livid in a nuanced kind of way. But they never would have known if I hadn't read it here on FR and printed out an article for them to read.
Do I need to break out the coffin races, beer and trebouchet?
This was about shaping the future of farming where the only people doing it will be THE GOVERNMENT.
That WAS funny! Thanks.
Yeah...they'll try this again...
Blowback from thousands? Actually this reads more like blowback from 0bama and them stirring up a hornets nest during an election year.
Hi johnny. I guess we all need to do the work the MSM/press doesn't do. Good for you.
King: Obama Administration Finally Caves on Youth Farm Labor
Thursday, April 26, 2012
Washington, DC- Congressman Steve King (R-IA) released the following statement today after the Department of Labor announced that it will withdraw its proposed rule to prohibit young people from working on family farms and participating in agriculture education programs including Future Farmers of America and 4-H.
"Once again President Obama's overreaching policies have outraged the American people," said King. "I'm happy to see the backlash surrounding this rule has prompted the Department of Labor to withdraw the proposed rule. The Department of Agriculture collaborated with the Department of Labor on this direct assault of American family farms. Family farms are the core of American culture, and for centuries they have played a large role in instilling a strong work ethic in young people. I know because I raised my three sons in rural Iowa and taught them the value of hard work."
"I'm pleased to have had the support of many farm families as I've worked to oppose this rule in order to ensure that young people will still have the same opportunities. This policy was not only unnecessary, it threatened the very way of life that I and so many others hold dear. When will President Obama realize that his out of touch policies do not reflect the values of the American people? His actions continue to show that he is disconnected with the people in the heartland of this great country."
But sometimes.... Sometimes... he remembers life under the Nazis. I think that's why he made the call.
I told my kids—Do not ever trade the country for the city. Freedom starts on the farm. But, 2 currently live in the city.
Those kids take jobs from Mexicans who are now leaving the country in record numbers with (loser) Obama's votes!
I guess 4H will still be at the State Fair this summer.
"The Department of Labor backed off the rule in February. The department now said it will not pursue the regulation again during Pres. Barack Obama's administration."
Code for they will ram it down farmers throats if obama is re-elected. It's just a temporary backoff until they can slip it unnoticed into some other legislation.
Sorry I missed the joke. Who is this frenchie?
This just lit up social media yesterday.
Credit where due, FoxNews carried what the Labor Dept wanted to do on every evening show last night. However, if your neighbor watches the alphabets, or nothing at all, he wouldn't have known.
Like a nuclear warhead makes for a good illumination round.
When I've got an old liberal frenchman neighbor calling to gritch about government overstepping.... that's overstepping.
Yeah I saw that quote from Franken. I supposed even a stopped clock is correct twice a day. Actually, I didn't want to post from MN Public Radio source, but it's all I found in a quick search for a link.
Don't forget Zer0's "Rural Council"
Of course, I would never have seen it on TV because I wouldn't own one.
Seems so, Turbo. Seems so.....thank the Lord.
Axelrod told Obummer that you better tell the Unions we are going to lose the election on this issue. You see how fast Obummer fliped flopped his labor department. The end of the road is near as America will wake up vote Obummer out in November. He keeps getting the snowball gaining speed as it rolls towards the election.
I know lysie. There was nothing but sinister in the entire plan.
Too bad we cannot stir up such angst on some of the other crap Obama is pulling.
The EPA for instance.
Thanks prairiebreeze.
PS it is up to us as Americans to stand up to Obama—God knows our representatives will not.
that's just toooo damn funny...
I'd forgotten about the frenchman. Heh, thanks for sharing all this.
They back off for now, but t come back at a different approach, 'later', like they always do.
I imagine others, such as myself, emailed this to ALL, as well. This went viral on many levels.
I know, I certainly did my part to light it up.
Very well could be. Vigilance will be essential. And should Zeroman win a second term...God forbid...there will be no holds barred.
Sarah wins another one.
I think the Supremes did a pretty good smackdown on them recently.
I did not know specifically; HOWEVER, it reminded me of Romney e.g. the 'nuanced' politician that vacations in France and speaks French...
We have beat them back on the 2nd Amendment. It's taken half of my adult life, and we're still not back to pre-GCA laws, but we're headed that way.
Take heart, remain conservative, and move ever forward.
The Amish would have been hit hard by this ruling.
The original link doesn't seem to still be at the thread you posted. Ding-dang..
Obama will have "more flexibility" to ram this down our throats after the election. Tyranny unleashed.
Since the first 2 posters were veteran ATRW folks, I mentioned it because it speaks volumes about government over-reach if that old barstid made a phone call. After looking at all sides and hemming and hawing and being 'nuanced'.
Meanwhile, the drumbeat of Dictator Obama grows louder:
regulate - control - destroy - Regulate - control - destroy - REgulate - control - destroy - REGulate - control - destroy - REGU
Was this a "human rights" initiative or a "safety" initiative? I want every one involved in making this decision extracted by the scruff of their necks and kicked to the curb. My God how did we ever get here and when will we reach the breaking point?

Gimme a Call (edition 2010)
by Sarah Mlynowski
Work details
Gimme a Call by Sarah Mlynowski
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I can see why some people would dislike this book and others would like it. I definitely think I would have enjoyed it more when I was in high school, but it's still a cute, fluffy read. I do think there could have been a much deeper exploration of the themes of regret, trying to balance the past/present/future, the bigger impact knowledge of the future can have, but for a high school fluff book, it's a fine read to kill a few hours. I'm a little frustrated at some of the body negativity, but the sad thing is that it's pretty much the norm. Still, I'd like to see YA authors making steps to lessen the acceptability of critiquing other peoples' bodies rather than normalize it. Honestly though, minor end spoiler, I wish the characters had been aged up like at the very end. It would have been so much more interesting, there are more changes happening in a person's life around college, and I could imagine a cool Jessica Darling-like story there. I hope the possibility for an aged up sequel is still around!
GIMME A CALL is a fun, quick read about second chances, learning from your mistakes, and how to not lose yourself in a boy.
There are two main characters, but they're actually the same girl. Devi, the senior, manages to call herself in the past, just as she's starting high school. She's in a rough spot and regrets the choices she's made over the past three years and relishes the chance to change things (via her past self) for her present and future.
I really enjoyed following along with the switches that occurred in the future as a result of younger Devi making changes in the past. Sometimes they were good (like a better prom dress!) and sometimes they weren't good at all (marital trouble for the parents).
GIMME A CALL is a cute, fast-paced story full of well-developed characters and an interesting look at how high school, and what comes after, can turn out very differently with just a few small changes. It would make a fantastic teen movie!
See more of my reviews at StoryboundGirl {dot} com.
Mixing an original plot with vivid characterizations and believable dialogue, "Gimme a Call" is the rare YA book that teaches a lesson without moralizing or condescending to readers. Mlynowski, who began her career as a contemporary "chick lit" author, revisits themes of regret and the road not taken in this YA book, the tone of which-- although not the actual plot-- will be familiar to adult readers of her 2006 novel "Me vs. Me." Our heroine, Devi Banks, is friendless, academically underachieving, disconnected from her unhappy, overworked mother, unemployed father, and distant college-student sister, and recently dumped by the boyfriend who has consumed her entire high school experience when we meet her near the end of her senior year. After she drops her cell phone in the fountain at the mall while wishing that she could teach her younger self some lessons she's learned the hard way, Devi discovers that her phone can now call only one person-- herself, at age 14. The rest of the book alternates between the viewpoints of Senior Devi and Freshman Devi while exploring the impact that the choices made early in adolescence can have one the rest of one's life. The philosophical questions and ethical dilemmas faced by Devi will make excellent fodder for discussion, and this book is highly recommended for mother-daughter reading groups. Ages 12 and up.
"If I could go back in time, the most important thing I would tell myself would be this: never, ever fall for Bryan... Imagine that. Talking to my fourteen year old self. I wish."Devi is a senior in high school, and when her boyfriend Bryan breaks up with her right before prom, she realizes that she's wasted her entire high school career paying attention to him -- instead of studying, keeping up with friends, trying out activities and clubs... and now she's alone at the mall. When she accidentally drops her cell phone into the fountain, it barely comes back on after being drowned. Once it does, it will only dial one number. Her own. And the voice on the other end is none other than Devi's freshman self. If you could contact yourself a few years ago, what would you tell yourself? What would you try to change? What Devi discovers is that every change on her freshman self's side of the phone leads to incredible consequences on the senior self side, some wonderful (getting into UCLA and Harvard), and some horrible (discovering her parents had divorced and both remarried). As long as she can contact her younger self, they can work to change things and make the future the best it can be... right? Well, maybe after a trip to the mall and a mani-pedi. 7th grade and up.
What kind of advice would older teenage you give younger teenage you? How could it change your life?The premise of Gimme a Call was quite clever, and the working back and forth of cause and effect was well done, if sometimes oversimplified.I really liked the young Devi, who felt like a nice but realistic young lady. She doesn't quite know what her goals and priorities are, which isn't unusual for someone just starting high school.The older Devi is another story altogether. She's finishing up high school, and she didn't make the best of choices throughout her time there. She's blown off her studies, alienated her friends, lost touch with her sister, with all of her energy going toward her boyfriend. And he's now broken up with her.These choices aren't what bother me about her. It's her relationship with her younger self. She never tries to work together with her younger self. She's bossy, demanding, and very much looking at it in terms of the ends justifying the means. She's just overall very unpleasant. I wish she'd been a little more balanced, while still having room to grow.Overall, it was a short fun read. It was one of those YA books where I felt while reading it that I wasn't the target audience, and I suspect the appeal will be higher for those of the intended age. My 12 year old daughter liked the book quite a big, although she didn't love it.
Filled with tech-savvy details, this gives a contemporary feel to a timeless YA dilemma: how to keep friends and academic priorities while cultivating a love life, too.
Mlynowski fans will not be disappointed with this blend of chick-lit, light fantasy, and comedic mishaps.

Devi's life isn't turning out at all like she wanted. She wasted the past three years going out with Bryan—cute, adorable, break-your-heart Bryan. Devi let her friendships fade, blew off studying, didn't join any clubs . . . and now that Bryan has broken up with her, she has nothing left.
Not even her stupid cell phone—she dropped it in the mall fountain. Now it only calls one number . . . hers. At age fourteen, three years ago!
Once Devi gets over the shock—and convinces her younger self that she isn't some wacko—she realizes that she's been given an awesome gift. She can tell herself all the right things to do . . . because she's already done all the wrong ones! Who better to take advice from than your future self?
Except . . .what if getting what you think you want changes everything?

The cause of death was officially listed as "pleurisy of the left side, consumption of the right lung, general miliary tuberculosis and parenchymatous nephritis." Whitman's work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection "Leaves of Grass," which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality. Some of Whitman's best known poems include "Song of Myself," "O Captain! My Captain!" and "Beat! Beat! Drums!"

1830: The Book of Mormon is first published by Joseph Smith in Palmyra, New York, as "The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon upon Plates Taken from the Plates of Nephi." According to Smith's account, the Book of Mormon was originally written in otherwise unknown characters referred to as "reformed Egyptian" engraved on golden plates. Smith claimed that the last prophet to contribute to the book, a man named Moroni, buried it in a hill in present-day New York and then returned to earth in 1827 as an angel, revealing the location of the book to Smith and instructing him to translate and disseminate it as evidence of the restoration of Christ's true church in the latter days.

He gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose, with many of his most admired works coming from this period.
1812: A political cartoon in the Boston Gazette coins the term "gerrymander" to describe oddly shaped electoral districts designed to help incumbents win re-election. The term got its name from Massachusetts Gov. Elbridge Gerry, who the month before had signed a redistricting law favoring his party.

Catching up with the Royal Bangs: New band member and a new album
Royal Bangs: (from left) Chris Rusk, Ryan Schaefer, Sam Stratton
Knoxville electro-pop indie darlings the Royal Bangs will play a rare hometown show on Friday, Sept. 21, at The Ciderhouse (112 Ramsey St. in Knoxville's Warehouse District, adjacent to The Valarium; Marina Orchestra opens the show), and we caught up via email with singer/instrumental wizard Ryan Schaefer to get the skinny on what's happening with the guys.
The band plans on debuting a "bunch of new material" at the Ciderhouse show, Schaefer writes, from the band's forthcoming new album. Although it's untitled right now and a firm release date has yet to be locked in, it's a safe bet given the band's last two nationally distributed releases — 2009's "Let It Beep" and last year's "Flux Outside" (released on the Glassnote label) — a lot of fans in East Tennessee and beyond are waiting on pins and needles for a new record.
It's "almost finished, just getting it mastered now," Schaefer writes. "We recorded it in Nashville with our friend Patrick Carney (of The Black Keys and founder of the Audio Eagle record label, which released "Let It Beep") producing and Roger Moutenot engineering. It was really fun to make. Dylan Dawkins (formerly of up-and-coming fuzz-pop band Yung Life and the side project Persona La Ave) plays bass for us now, so we could actually track most of it live, which was kind of new for us. Usually we figure everything out in the studio, but this time we had it more or less put together before we got there, and the songs can breathe a little bit more because we're playing them together."
The band's other two members include guitarist Sam Stratton and drummer/percussionist Chris Rusk. The Sept. 21 show starts at 10 p.m., and admission is $10; it's a presentation of that most awesome Old City indie-rock club The Pilot Light.

Kristen Stewart Tones Down The Sex Appeal At Spanish 'Twilight' Photocall
After two successive "Twilight" premieres in which she wore see-through ensembles, Kristen Stewart toned it down a bit for "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2" photocall in Madrid, Spain, on Thursday.
The actress opted for a flattering black and white dress with a gold collar by British designer Julien Macdonald, and she didn't show any cleavage, stomach, or much leg. This is quite a departure from her most recent red carpet ensembles.
On Monday she attended the film's Los Angeles premiere in a strapless lace dress that showed off her legs and backside. On Wednesday night in London she wore a sparkly black lace bodysuit with an open back.
Stewart's highly anticipated new film hits theaters tomorrow.

At their regular meeting Jan. 17, board members listened somberly as CBC President Dr. Beatrice Espinoza, announced that the latest enrollment figures showed CBC down 124 students from the same time last year — which equates to a $400,000 loss.
"We're down," she said.
Projected enrollments in December failed to materialize, Espinoza said, "because in some cases, the students were hopeful that they would pass their class, and didn't."
The Alice, Beeville and Kingsville campuses all reported lower enrollments; Pleasanton's enrollment was slightly higher — by 15 percent.
The more positive result from the spring headcount was the number of students taking classes online — up 24 percent from last semester — despite what one staff member says has been a reluctance on the part of some teachers to adopt the new technology.
However encouraging, the loss of revenue kept the board's attention, because the 2013 budget was based on a student body forecast to be higher.
"My concern," Espinoza said, "is that we're serving less than five percent of our service area population. There's a lot more capacity — we just haven't figured out yet how to tap it."
She formed a strategic management enrollment task force last semester to combat the downward enrollment trend. It has just submitted a five-year plan focusing on students' enrollment, retention and completion.
It also is calling on the progress of each student to be examined monthly and to pair the role of faculty advisers with student recruitment activities to mentor students who are within 15 semester hours of completing to assist them with any academic problems with which they might be struggling.
At the task force's recommendation, CBC started its registration this semester earlier, and aligned the publication date of its catalog to coincide with other institutions of higher learning.
Espinoza says she already has started to address the issue by giving full-time faculty a full load and cutting back on adjunct professor contracts.
That the 2014 budges process begins next month is adding pressure for immediate action.
Finally, Espinoza addressed the proverbial elephant in the room:
"If we're saying this is our real number of students, partly because of the demand for workers at Eagle Ford, then we're going to have to figure out what our real size is. Either we have to re-size to fit the lower numbers or we have to work really hard to find students."
While acknowledging that the Eagle Ford Shale oil boom was robbing CBC of potential students, board chair Paul Jaure said the college needs to get across the message that the boom's requirement for personnel is shifting. "Now the need is for higher-paying, middle-management positions and they require better training."
"I don't know how you accomplish this," he said. "Maybe we should be using companies such as Conoco or Marathon to have their people go to high schools to tell students the kind of college training they need to work for them.
"Somebody, somewhere is going to be training them."
Failure to find those students, Jaure told the board, eventually would mean staff cuts.
"We're doing a great job here with what we are doing," he told the board. "But, at the same time, we're a business. We can't keep the doors open if we keep doing what we're doing now. The reality is that somehow we need to look harder at the people who work for us. It's not easy. People are worried about their jobs. But if we don't do it, we're in trouble."

Sometimes both at once.
Yet, as happy as I am with our relationship, I'm shocked that Hollywood refuses to acknowledge that women have histories as well, utterly ignoring any franchise aimed at girls. Like jealous, insecure boyfriends, the studios don't want to think about a woman's past; instead they are content to force-feed her romantic comedies and period pieces about oppressed women weep-running over moors.
I think ladies probably deserve better.
I have always championed women's rights, particularly in public and when I thought there might be some attention to be gained from it. To that end, I'm offering Hollywood these four gritty reboots of cartoons aimed at young girls. The characters are the same but the stories have been updated for the modern woman. They are visceral and real -- and with any luck, worth something.
Rainbow Brite -- Brighteous Kill
In an apocalyptic desert future, where civilization has collapsed and towns are overrun by outlaws, an orphan named Wisp and her talking horse struggle for survival, but their lives take an unexpected turn after accidentally trampling and killing a leader of a prominent gang. To escape vengeance, Wisp is forced to flee to the most anarchic town in the desert nicknamed Rainbow Land for its patchwork of disjointed misfits, and degenerates who were too dangerous and violent to fit in anywhere else. Rather than killing her, the community reveres Wisp for murdering such a famous man. As her legend grows, the leaderless gang comes looking for revenge, and threatens to destroy the whole town. Now the young stranger must prove her worth by defending Rainbow Land with the help of a ragtag crew of unstable sociopaths called The Color Kids while simultaneously learning the true meaning of family amidst the ensuing bloodbath.
Jem -- The Enemy Inside
Renowned record producer Jerrica Benton is successful and well-respected in her career, but privately battles loneliness and crippling depression. To cope, she develops the alter-ego, Jem, a singer and songwriter who quickly gains international fame and fully embraces all aspects of the rock and roll mythos. For a while, conservative Jerrica and party girl Jem peacefully coexist, satisfying two necessary but conflicting aspects of one woman's life, but gradually Jem becomes too powerful for Jerrica to control, threatening to take over her life completely. The psychological thriller explores the dark world of human duality and the dangers of surrendering to a life of indulgence. Also, there is some tasteful nudity.

The two young women, with their music and singing, had won the hearts of boys from a Dominican Republic children's home. At the film's viewing, the two were surrounded by the boys who obviously were filled with admiration for the two Americans visiting some 1,850 miles east of their home in George West,
Then one of the boys looking at Elizabeth and Mary said, "Tu eres angel."
It took a moment to figure out what the boy had said, but Elizabeth and Mary realized the boy was telling them they were angels.
"It summed up what they meant to us and what we meant to them," said David Valverde, First Baptist Church George West youth pastor.
Valverde and a group consisting of 13 from First Baptist Church George West and one from the South Texas Children's Home had journeyed to the Dominican Republic for a one-week mission trip from June 2 to June 9.
"The group of boys who we mostly hung out with were wonderful; they opened their arms to us and took the time to explain things to all of us silly Americanos just so we could have a conversation – usually the conversation involved a lot of pointing, nodding in recognition, then laughing because we still didn't really know what was going on but we were having fun," said Katheryn Cansino, one of the mision members.
"Our church had networked with South Texas Children's Home – in Beeville and Goliad," Valverde said.
"They have a counseling ministry, as well as a children's home," he added.
Valverde said he also worked with international ministry vice president Joann Berry.
He said she has the connections. Her parents were the first Baptist missionaries there. Now, the mission has grown to schools, homes and churches.
"We began considering the trip a year ago in August 2011. And we began a year of planning and preparations," Valverde said.
The group flew in on a Saturday and stayed the first night next to the main church. Lots of teams start there – dental teams, church teams and other various teams.
"Sunday, we went to the main church and did a one-day program," Valverde said.
Then the group traveled to Bethesda Boys Home; the orphanage is home to 12 boys and one girl, ranging in age from 14 years old to 10 months old.
"All were Dominican except for two, who were Haitian," Valverde said.
"In the morning, we went to the boys home and Christian school. We did painting and refurbishing of desks," he said.
"And we were helping to rebuild the security wall around the school," he added.
That afternoon, a vacation Bible school type of program was presented at the church.
"We had music, arts and crafts, games and recreation," Valverde said.
"Those were the main things we did Monday through Wednesday," he said.
Thursday, the missionary group took the boys and girl out for pizza, the park, pool and playgrounds about 90 miles east of the home.
He noted that the Baptist General Convention of Texas collects coins, rolls them up and sends them to the world Hunger Offering.
"Members collect that throughout the year at the First Baptist Church George West. Thursday afternoon, we were able to use that money to go and buy food for a particular home," he said.
Valverde said it was great to see how the money is actually used.
After a fun day, the group took the boys back to their home in La Romana, Dominican Republic
"Friday, we played tourists. We went to the capital – Santo Domingo, then to the beach," Valverde said.
"We flew home on Saturday," he said.
"Personally, I loved the trip to the Dominican Republic. Completely immersing yourself in a culture for a week is very eye opening. Then at the same time it was very comforting to see how God's love transcends country boarders and breaks down any walls of difference," Cansino said.
She said the people in the Dominican Republic mostly live in poverty and yet the tourist industry is booming there.
"...It made me sick to think of how selfish I am, and so many of the people of the United States are," she said.
"The thing is these boys have next to nothing. They have a basket of clothes with maybe three shirts and a couple pants, and yet they were willing to share food, which can also be a scarcity for them, and expected nothing in return," Cansino said.
Cansino posed the question: "Wouldn't it be nice if more people lived that way? Never expecting anything back and being surprised when you do. It's a lesson many have learned but many more still need too."
Valverde said the group plans to come back to the Dominican Republic.
"I don't know when. We need to raise the funds again, but it is the desire of the group," he said.
Cansino confirmed that desire to return.
"It was truly an experience of a lifetime, I am thankful that I was able to participate, and I hope to be able to go back again one day," she said.

"I love the 'Open Forum for Non-Catholics' shows. I have learned so much from these programs, and they've helped me to not be caught off-guard when I'm called to answer friends, family members, and co-workers who question the teachings and doctrines of the Church."
~ Tom
"Let us then not be ashamed to confess the Crucified. Be the cross our seal, made with boldness by our fingers on our brow and in everything; over the bread we eat and the cups we drink, in our comings and in goings out; before our sleep, when we lie down and when we awake; when we are travelling, and when we are at rest."
~ St. Cyril of Jerusalem in his "Catecheses" (xiii, 36), on the sign of the cross, a practice familiar to Christians in the second century and which had passed into a gesture of benediction by the fourth century, as many quotations from the Fathers show

it should also be noted that anyone can start a new round; but please do so with a New Topic, using hogwash and your proposed word in the Subject line.
we usually use an additional new thread for the list of definitions, and another for the results -- otherwise things just get too muddled, what with all the whinging and digressions, etc.
