In fact, I have always believed Sun modeled their keyboard after the original Apple keyboards, down to the existence and placement of "open <symbol>" and "closed <symbol>" keys. (These were the Open-apple and Closed-apple keys from the Apple II days, now replaced by (open) apple/command keys.)
Later, Apple replaced their keyboard layout with the 101-key layout that the PC had made an industry standard.
Complain to the PC crowd. Specifically, complain to the U.S. government which mandated that companies like IBM standardize on a single keyboard layout (rather than one for each platform: VM, OS/400, AIX, etc.). That standardization gave you your 'control'-key in the lower left.
Also, don't equate "something I am unfamiliar with" to "UNIX-antagonistic". Many UNIX vendors other than SUN get along just fine with the 'control'-key in the lower left. Also, many non-U.S. keyboards have layouts requiring greater dexterity than your simple gripe. (The '/'-key on German keyboards comes to mind.)
Now, stretch your pinky and feel free to adapt.

Mayweather constantly tops both Forbes and Sports Illustrated lists of the 50 highest-paid athletes of the year and he certainly let's us all know all about it on Instagram. This is the fake life you would live if you banked $100 million per match.

A 58-year-old Clovis man faces 33 years in prison after a jury convicted him Friday on multiple counts of possessing and distributing child pornography, according to District Attorney Matt Chandler.
Chandler said the jury took about half an hour to convict William Marquis, who had been free on bond. Marquis was taken into custody after the jury's verdict and faces sentencing by 9th Judicial District Chief Judge Teddy Hartley at a date not yet determined.
Chandler said Marquis was found guilty of all 12 felony counts of possessing and another five felony counts of distributing child pornography.
"Those who participate in the viewing and sharing of sexual images of children are just as culpable as the criminals that are in the business of manufacturing the images," Chandler said in a press release. "It is sad but true, each image produced and distributed represents a sexually abused child and every time that child's image is downloaded and viewed that child is victimized all over again."

Dear friends,
Despite the downturn in overseas refugee arrivals last year, the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) and its partners served nearly 102,500 new arrivals in Fiscal Year 2011, including 56,379 refugees; 24,845 asylees; 11,114 Cuban/Haitian Entrants and Parolees; 7,120 Unaccompanied Alien Children; 1,400 Unaccompanied Refugee Minors; 1,033 Special Immigrant Visa holders; 565 Victims of Trafficking, and 40 Amerasians.
None of this could have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of our partners on the ground: in the state and local governments, voluntary agencies and Mutual Assistance Associations, mainstream providers and private industry, and most importantly, the many volunteers who form the backbone of the U.S. Resettlement Program and the ideals it seeks to uphold.
The highest number of overseas arrivals mirrored arrivals in the past few years, with Burmese (16,901) and Bhutanese (14,882) leading, followed by Cubans, Iraqis (9,415), Somalis (3,148), Iranians (2,024) and Eritreans (1,980). In all, the U.S. received refugees from more than 65 different countries across the globe this past year, most of them having spent many years in countries of asylum, and all of them now given a chance to live in freedom and security.
To facilitate their successful integration and resettlement, ORR launched several new initiatives in Fiscal Year 2011, including a brand-new Microenterprise Development Home-Based Child Care Program. Recognizing that refugee mothers are often excluded from traditional employment and microenterprise programming, this new initiative provided $2.25 million in grant funding to 13 organizations, designed to prepare refugee mothers to establish and operate their own child care centers. Not only does it provide a source of sustainable income for the women business owners, it also allows them to care for their own children while they work, and offer culturally-competent child care to other working moms in their communities.
Another new initiative for FY2011 is the provision of a Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) grant to create a resource center for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) refugees, to ensure that LGBT refugees are received in communities able to meet their full scope of needs, in the most welcoming environment possible.
ORR continues to hold regular conference calls with State Refugee Coordinators and Health Coordinators, and with Ethnic Community Based Organizations, and has also expanded collaborations with partners within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to raise the profile of refugees, and link refugees and service providers to key programs and assistance. One tangible result of these collaborations was the awarding of nearly $4 million in funding to five ORR grantees, under the ACF Office of Family Assistance Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood grant.
ORR was pleased to initiate HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius' trip to a Resettlement Transit Center in Langata, Kenya this summer, where she was briefed on the overseas medical screening process and the importance of presumptive treatments in the prevention of infectious diseases. The Secretary also joined Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the Refugee Admissions Consultation with Congress to discuss the Presidential Ceiling on refugee admission for FY 2012.
As many of you also witnessed, Secretary Sebelius attended the 2011 ORR National Consultation for the second year in a row, delivering a heart-felt speech of support for refugees and the contributions they have made to our country. This year's National Consultation was our most successful and well-attended one yet—due in great part to all of you, and we thank you for your collaboration and contributions.
Looking forward to 2012, ORR is busy readying its new website, set for initial launch in late January 2012. Be sure to check out the site as it progresses, which will feature success stories from ORR's partners, refugee profiles, and an updated funding map showcasing all ORR grants by state and program.
ORR remains committed to putting refugees at the forefront of all we do, and we applaud and encourage your efforts to do the same. Here are some of the successes achieved in ORR programs in Fiscal Year 2011, with your help:
Anti-Trafficking in Persons
In addition to offering comprehensive case management to foreign victims of human trafficking and supporting public awareness and outreach campaigns to help identify victims, ORR also certifies victims. Certification makes them eligible to receive federally funded benefits and services to the same extent as refugees so that victims can rebuild their lives safely in the United States. In FY 2011, 463 certifications were issued to adult victims of human trafficking and 102 eligibility letters were issued to child victims.
Individual Development Accounts
During FY 2010, ORR's Individual Development Accounts (IDA) program awarded $4.7 million to 22 grantees in 20 states. Consequently, grantees were able to provide financial literacy training to over 2,300 refugees, including asset-specific training such as home ownership, financing education, and business planning. Grantees provided some $3.5 million for asset purchases to refugees, assisted refugees in leveraging ORR funds to purchase assets in excess of $8.25 million, and assisted hundreds of refugees in accessing post-secondary education and training.
Additionally, ORR signed an MOU with the Office of Community Services' Assets for Independence (AFI) program to implement a two-pronged approach to increase IDA access to refugees. This includes contracting with technical assistance providers with extensive refugee experience to assist refugee-serving organizations in obtaining AFI funding, and to assist AFI grantees reach more refugees. Through this collaboration, five organizations that have a refugee focus were funded by AFI at a total of $1.7 million. Four of the organizations are currently ORR IDA grantees.
Matching Grant
In FY2011, the Matching Grant program transitioned from a program year to the federal fiscal year beginning in 2012. ORR served 29,696 people in the Matching Grant program in 2011, with 51% of program participants entering employment; 56% becoming self-sufficient (not dependent on any cash assistance) within the first 120 days post-arrival, and 71% attaining self-sufficiency at 180 days after arrival.
In all three categories, program targets were exceeded by ORR's grantees; this increase can be attributed to the recovering U.S. job market and the grantees continued adaptation to a more challenging economy. The program expects this positive growth to continue in PY 2011, as the job market strengthens and service providers continue to refine their methods of job development and placement.
Microenterprise Development
A direct result of ORR's push to increase its working relationship with other federal agencies, the ACF Office of Community Services included refugee service providers as eligible applicants in its FY2011 announcement for Job Opportunity for Low Income Individuals (JOLI) funding. As a result, three of ORR's partners—the Business Outreach Center, Center for People in Need and International Rescue Committee--were awarded $270,000 each from OCS, nearly 25% of the total amount awarded.
In FY 2011, the Microenterprise program was funded at $4 million for 18 grantees, operating in 15 states. Collectively, these programs served 3,032 refugees, providing business training, pre-loan/post-loan technical assistance, and loan provision. The grantees made 558 loans to refugee entrepreneurs, totaling more than $4.6 million, of which more than $3.25 million was leveraged from other sources, and creating 743 new job opportunities through these businesses.
ORR Refugee Placement
Based on the National Security Council-led interagency process, ORR and the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) instituted joint quarterly placement consultations with resettlement stakeholders. In 2011, ORR and PRM co-hosted four quarterly placement consultations. Hundreds of representatives from resettlement agencies, state refugee coordinators, refugee health coordinators, ORR's Ethnic Community Self-Help program grantees, and ORR technical assistance grantees participated.
ORR and PRM shared information on new arrival numbers, overseas pipeline and populations, ORR funding opportunities, refugee employment outcomes, a variety of mainstream services available to refugees and a host of resettlement indicators. In addition, ORR provided resource information and data to assist PRM in their FY11 and FY12 Consolidated Refugee Placement Plans. This collaborative effort is designed to improve the initial refugee placement process.
Preventive Health
In FY2011, the Preventive Health grant entered a new funding cycle. ORR announced the availability of $4.7 million in funds under the grant for FY2012. The new cycle will last three years. After an informative review process, 38 applicants were selected to receive awards. Funded projects will work toward the goal of increasing the number of refugees and other ORR-eligible populations who receive a health screening soon after arrival. Projects include such activities as transportation assistance, interpretation, and health education for refugees.
Refugee Agricultural Partnership Program
Fifty people attended the annual Refugee Agricultural Partnership Program (RAPP) Workshop in Washington, D.C. in January, including representatives of all 14 RAPP grantees, plus others from eight non-grantee organizations. Presentations were made by experienced grantees, six USDA staff members, and representatives of two national private organizations. ORR conducted monitoring visits to six of the 14 grantees this year, eight of which received RAPP funds this year for the first time.
The RAPP Network continues to expand its reach, due to widespread interest in community gardens and farming among refugee serving organizations and populations. With 14 current grantees in 13 states, and an active network of past grantees, the program also receives outstanding media attention, including a full-page article in the New York Times, and hundreds of profiles in newspapers, on television and radio across the country. More than 240 persons receive and exchange information through the RAPP Listserv; a sign-up link is available on the ORR website.
A lesser-known program of ORR is its Repatriation program, which repatriates American citizens from foreign countries following natural disaster or crisis, or personal distress. Even in the absence of large-scale disasters such as the Haitian earthquake of 2010, ORR's Repatriation Program served 720 citizens and their dependents in FY2011, coming from such countries as Mexico, the United Kingdom, Israel and Germany.
State-Administered Programs
In 2011 ORR worked to improve and enhance programs by improving measurement instruments. After almost a year of work with the ACF's Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation and the Office of Management and Budget, a revision was finally approved by OMB for the ORR trimester reporting instrument. Among many enhancements, a new efficiency measure was developed to indicate the success of the Refugee Cash Assistance program and overall refugee self-sufficiency for refugee cash assistance recipients. Similarly, ORR has revised budget estimate data collection tool to improve cost estimates, financial planning and overall fiscal management. ORR has also initiated renewal of the State Plan annually submitted by States for certification of their Refugee Resettlement plan.
Suicide Prevention
Following up on an alarming rise in suicides within certain refugee communities, ORR partnered with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and ORR's Technical Assistance provider, the Refugee Health Technical Assistance Center (RHTAC), initiating an epidemiological study to better understand the underlying causes and associated risk factors (e.g., camp experiences and cultural beliefs) contributing to a cluster of suicides among Bhutanese and Burmese refugees.
To design a response strategy, RHTAC reached out to Bhutanese community members and experts in the field, including the Suicide Prevention Resource Center, the QPR Institute, and Living Works, developer of the Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST). A master level gatekeeper training was held in Boston in September, with 10 Bhutanese individuals from eight states participating. In April 2011, ORR requested a rapid assessment Epi-Aid protocol from the CDC on the issue, with translation of the resulting instruments into Nepali. Data collection in resettlement communities in Arizona, Georgia, New York, and Texas is scheduled to beginning winter 2012.
Supplemental Services for Recently Arrived Refugees
In FY 2011, the Supplemental Services for Recently Arrived Refugees program funded 14 programs at $2,630,037 in 11 States. The Supplemental Services program provides services to newly arriving refugees and unexpected large secondary migration of refugees where communities may not be sufficiently prepared in terms of linguistic or culturally appropriate services for incoming populations. More than 4,500 refugees and asylees received assistance through the services offered by these programs.
Unaccompanied Alien Children
In FY 2011, there were 7,120 new placements of unaccompanied alien children (UAC) into ORR care and 3,247 UAC were reunified with family members and sponsors. ORR funds care provider facilities nationwide to provide a safe environment for UAC, until they were reunified with family members or sponsors in the U.S.; repatriated to their home country by immigration officials; turn 18 years of age, or receive immigration relief. The children receive classroom education, health care, mental health services, and case management.
Under a $6.1 million contract with the Vera Institute, ORR expanded the Legal Access Project to provide legal services to all UAC, allowing 6,594 children in ORR care and 406 released children to receive legal services in FY2011. ORR also matched 174 exceptionally vulnerable unaccompanied alien children with child advocates. In addition, ORR collaborated with the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) for the successful implementation of the Legal Orientation Program for sponsors of UACs in 13 metropolitan areas.
Unaccompanied Refugee Minors
Through its network of caretakers, ORR offered specialized foster care to unaccompanied refugee minors (URM), designed to meet their special needs and to help them develop social skills to enter adulthood. During FY 2011, over 1,400 youth were served in the URM program, with 317 minors entering the program. The URM team conducted a Working Session during the 2011 ORR National Consultation for 100 participants from local service providers, state partners, national voluntary agencies and ORR staff. Highlights included presentations by URM youth in the program, a session on family tracing and reunification and a session focused on trauma and mental health.
Best regards,
Eskinder Negash, Director of ORR

Call it a rust-to-riches story. Corrosion careers are paying better than ever, with average annual salaries for professionals in the United States, Canada and the European Union reaching new highs, according to a new survey by NACE International.
Average annual salaries for corrosion professionals in the United States topped six figures for the first time, and salaries for Canadian and EU professionals also set records, according to the new 2013 Corrosion Career Survey, conducted by NACE's Materials Performance magazine.
The NACE Foundation of Canada is helping to educate the next generation of
corrosion engineers and technicians. Salaries in Canada are rising.
On the Rise
Including salary and bonuses, the average annual U.S. compensation for corrosion professionals is now $103,148, up 4.6% from the 2012 figure of $98,384, reported Houston-based NACE.
In Canada, the average compensation rose by 0.69% to CAN$108,108. Last year, the increases were 2.6% for the U.S. and 2.3% for Canada.
In Europe, the annual average salary is now €68,637 ($88,336 USD), up by 3.7% from last year's €66,098, NACE said. The society noted that corrosion salaries actually declined by 1.8% in Europe from 2011 to 2012.
Average Salary by Highest Education Level (U.S. / Canada / Europe)
Materials Performance has conducted its annual corrosion career survey of NACE members since 1998.
The survey collects information on annual compensation, job duties, work experience, education level, company size, number of years in the profession and challenges for today's professionals. Survey results provide the latest details on demographics and salary levels for corrosion professionals in all fields of corrosion control.
Tushar Jhaveri, NACE International president, said the good news not only reflected the professional expertise of corrosion professionals but validated the maturity and significance of the industry.
"It is encouraging that this year's survey revealed that the U.S. average salary has reached the six-figure milestone, and that Canada and Europe are experiencing salary increases as well," says Jhaveri, chief executive of Vasu Chemicals in Mumbai, India.
Average Salary by Years of Corrosion Experience (U.S. / Canada / Europe)
"It is a sure sign that corrosion control is a well-established industry with professionals that continue to prove the value of their knowledge and expertise."
Industries and Demographics
Other highlights of the survey include average salary by NACE certification level, average salary by job type, average salary by U.S. state, average salary by Canadian province and territory, and average salary by European country.
The survey also examines salaries as related to NACE certification.
NACE International's president called the increasing salaries "a sure sign that corrosion control is a well-established industry with professionals that continue to prove the value of their knowledge and expertise."
The largest group of survey participants in North America works in oil and gas pipelines/storage tanks. Fifteen percent of U.S. respondents work in coatings and linings, compared with 18 percent of respondents from Canada and Europe.
Other highlights:
The full survey can be found here.
Founded in 1943, NACE International, The Corrosion Society, serves 30,000 members in 130 countries. The organization offers technical training and certification programs, conferences, industry standards, reports, publications, technical journals, and government relations activities.
Comment from Andrew Mumford, (8/1/2013, 9:07 AM)
As an Owner of an Inspection firm, a problem I have with NACE's message is that there is too much emphasis on how much money you can make, and not enough emphasis on retaining and implementing the knowledge and practices your taught. As someone that is continually hiring inspectors, it is amazing the salary expectations of applicants who lack basic written communication skills, and when interviewed cannot demonstrate that they've retained the fundamentals of their training. It is also amazing how many individuals once hired lack the effort to satisfactorily perform their job. I would like to see more emphasis on the necessity of the professional to develop beyond the one week training course, and less on dangling the golden carrot in front of their eyes. With a strong honest work ethic, training, knowledge, and experience the salary rewards will follow. I think there is a flaw with the survey of average salary by years of corrosion experience.
Comment from Jerry Hardenbergh, (8/1/2013, 10:30 AM)
Andrew, well said!!!
Comment from Patrick C Sweeney, (8/1/2013, 11:30 AM)
I agree with Andrew. Also, I had hoped that this annual survey would have progressed over the years to be more than a simple online survey - clearly without any verification for accurate responses. A technical organization like NACE should not be publishing such misleading data. A NACE CIP Level 2 with Marine "ON AVERAGE" makes $167,750 per year? Really? Placing a simple footnote that this data is only based on 5 respondents (out of thousands of people) with this qualification is not responsible journalism or statistical reporting. NACE reports that the survey has a 95% confidence level? Really? I am curious how NACE analyzed the data. If a highly compensated coating supplier sales-manager also happens to carry a NACE CIP level 2 Marine Certification, should his compensation be presented/included as an inspector classification? MP should take a closer look at this accuracy of the information that they are presenting to our community.
Comment from James Hill, (8/1/2013, 6:37 PM)
Food for thought........
As a seasoned professional in the Coatings Industry with over 23 years experience in Sales and Technical Service, as well as BS in Business Management from the University of Southern California, I am appalled and outraged as to the quality of NACE Inspectors (Levels I, II, and III) I encounter out in the field today. I am an expired NACE Level I. I have worked for two of the top six Coating Manufacturers in the world (PPG and RPM). NACE puts uneducated personnel through their courses because there happens to be a shortage of inspectors. I encounter NACE level III inspectors with 7 years experience and they know nothing about surface preparation and coating of concrete? The Industry is watered down. More coming...............
Comment from James Hill, (8/1/2013, 6:42 PM)
Also,In today's devalued American dollars $120,000 is not a lot of money. While Ben Bernanke continues to purchase $85 billion dollars worth of mortgage backed securities, those dollars have less purchasing power.

Disclaimer.....please excuse any grammatical errors or spelling mistakes within the previous two comments for they were sent from a "smartphone".
Comment from James Hill, (8/1/2013, 6:53 PM)
....that's 85 billion dollars a month........
Comment from James Schuster, (8/2/2013, 7:20 AM)
I too am very dissappointed by this survey. I have been a peer reviewed NACE CIP for 20 plus years with a bachelors degree and too often these days see Level 1 and 2 inspectors with salary expectations that are ridiculous ! Since NACE has done away with the minimum experience requirement i too often find inspectors with one week of training representing themselves as "Coatings Experts" and find facility owners who assume that because an individual is NACE Certified expect these inspectors to truly be coatings experts and too often are dissappointed in the knowledge they are getting for what they are paying for. Bring back the minimum experience requirement !
Comment from WAN MOHAMAD NOR WAN ABDUL RAHMAN, (8/4/2013, 12:26 AM)
Gone are the days when we use to have quality CIP. Now people are interested in making more money . Everything in this world is being commercialized. So we have now is quantity instead of quality CIP.
Comment from Billy Russell, (8/5/2013, 9:28 PM)
In total agreement with Andrew, and all, LMFAO @ Level 2 making 167,750 that is a complete misleading joke. period
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (8/6/2013, 11:29 AM)
Billy - that number is Level 2 with Marine. These guys are probably working offshore on oil platforms, 80+ hours a week - and possibly being paid as 1099, not as an employee. It's also "fewer than 5 responses"
Comment from Billy Russell, (8/7/2013, 4:20 AM)
offshore level 2 with marine working 90 hours a week does not make that, the 5 are not being truthful, nor is it representative of the average salary range, the Market has been flooded with the now "NO EXPERIENCE Necessary" certified in 1 week guys who are in the field with Vis 1 and a shiny new hard hat, look at me Im in charge attitudes, accepting the new price range that we all know the bottom fell out of I know level 3 &2 being offered 24- 31 an hour by the major inspection firms. this survey is a marketing tool and nothing realistic about it.
Comment from James Schuster, (8/7/2013, 9:09 AM)
Billy you hit the nail on the head, marketing tool and nothing realistic about it !This survey in no way is representative of actual salaries being offered by most major inspection firms.
Comment from Chris Langston, (9/23/2014, 4:07 PM)
It really stinks to read about how the standards have been lowered right now, and this was a year ago! I am taking the level 1 course in a week. I guess one has to start somewhere? I understand and respect all the comments above. God Bless
Comment from Billy Russell, (9/26/2014, 7:49 PM)
A more accurate survey should be published, detailing actual pay stubs, the truth is they are not working 12 months a year include how many months they are drawing unemployment, how many graduates of the NO EXPERIENCE necessary fiasco most are still looking for work , Look at the CIP group on linked in the majority of the post are not anything technical, it is mostly former Bartenders and carpenters looking for work again a year later those are completely misleading Numbers, based on a 3 month project during the season, you do not get to add the other 9 months thinking that's what I would of made, Marketing tricks to increase numbers is shameful and extremely disappointing, put inspectors back on the committee and get the accountants that decided to change the experience requirement out of policy procedures watching the deterioration of the respect level is infuriating...
Comment from Karen Fischer, (9/30/2014, 9:56 AM)
This is an insult to those of us who took NACE nearly 20 years ago.... Being judged by the assembly line now called NACE... I never made the wages they list, not even remotely close.
Comment from William Bastian, (10/1/2014, 8:21 AM)
I agree whole heartedly with Karen. NACE is now nothing more then an insult to those of us who have worked hard and diligently over the years to refine and understand the nuances of our professions and responsibilities within the coatings community. It has become an assembly line that cares only about cranking out the courses, without any real thought to why individuals are taking them. I know from speaking to individuals during my sessions, many were there for a holiday from work, with no desire to pursue or even have any intention of pursuing a career in the inspection world. As to the NACE salary debacle they chose to post, perhaps you should be more concerned with who, what, where, and why than with how much money the NACE Inspector is making annually. I was recently at a job site where an individual went to the CIP I class. He went because his company thought it would "look" good on his resume. He will earn more salary then I, because of his position within his company and will never once be called upon to do any coatings inspection.
Comment from Steve Sparks, (8/30/2016, 10:55 AM)
I have been in the coating field for 40 years and recently met an inspector who was Just completing peer review and had only been a level 2 for a few weeks. their prior field time was as a safety inspector. Less than 2 years in the coating field and already a NACE III. They thought at was a great way to make money! And they were encouraging their friends to become inspector as well. My 40 years gets me nothing!

Linnaeus Garden History
The Vision
The Linnaeus Teaching Garden was a gift to northeastern Oklahoma. On June 8, 2006, a standing-room only crowd of over 200 people gathered under a tent for its dedication.
The speakers expressed their gratitude for the time, money and effort expended by the many people who helped make the garden a reality. Bonnie Hammond, then executive director of the Tulsa Garden Center, said it all started with a vision first voiced by Tulsa Garden Center horticulturist, Barry Fugatt.
The vision began with the idea of educating homeowners about horticultural possibilities for their own backyards. At first it lacked the components necessary to make it a success – funds, location, plants, products, and volunteers.
It All Comes Together
Slowly but surely during 2005 and early 2006 the pieces fell into place:
- Nearly 3,000 individuals contributed donations equaling more than $800,000.
- The Tulsa Parks Department provided the location, authorizing the use of 1.55 acres of prime real estate located in Woodward Park.
- Industry sponsors donated products and services for hardscaping and planting having a value of more than $500,000. More than 4,000 individual plants comprise the garden, and they have all been donated. These donations have been ongoing over the life of the garden.
- Over 180 people volunteered to become the initial group of Linnaeus Gardeners. It was these volunteers who contributed their time and effort to prepare the beds and plant the trees, shrubs and flowers that grace the garden.
Garden Namesake
The garden was named in honor of Carl Linnaeus , Swedish naturalist and the father of botany. Tulsa sculptor Rosalind Cook created a six-foot tall full-figure bronze statue of Carl Linnaeus which she unveiled in the garden pavilion as the finale of the dedication.

A Very Unusual Trial
In Texas, two nurses anonymously reported a doctor to the Texas Medical Board for what they considered to be malpractice. The doctor complained of harrassment and local law enforcement found out who filed the complaint. Now one nurse is being prosecuted for reporting. The charges against the other nurse were dropped due to prosecutor's discretion. The medical board has warned of a dangerous chilling effect if the charges are pursued. But, the sheriff and the DA are convinced that the case is valid. Regardless of the outcome, a civil suit has already been filed against the hospital, the doctor, the sheriff and the DA's office on behalf of at least one of the nurses alleging violations of her First Amendment rights, among other things. Is it a case of prosecutorial misconduct or a vindictive nurse trying to get a doctor ousted? Trial begins Feb. 8.

"Anonymous" bloggers, don't be stupid. A physician blogs about his malpractice suit during the trial, using an alias, and is unmasked in court. He settles the next day.
Medicine means finally getting to say you're sorry
Physician, kneel thyself and apologize for your mistakes. Words can hurt, and words can heal. Can the words "I'm sorry" keep you from being sued? It seems like it. People are talking about physicians being empowered to apologize, including the Indiana General Assembly, Ira Glass, Lucian Leape, and even the entire Hah-vahd hospital system. Does your doctor need a little practice? Make her/him watch the handy instructional video.
Medical Malpractice Myth
Medical Malpractice Myth explores the idea that it's not litigious patients, ambulance chasing lawyers and runaway juries behind the rising costs of medical malpractice insurance. It's the increasing occurrence of medical malpractice that's driving those insurance rates up.
Should a doctor be able to refuse to help patients?
Conscience Clauses and Health Care --"Yes, we need to respect individual freedom of religion. But at what point does it cross the line of not providing essential medical care? At what point is it malpractice?" she asked. "If someone's beliefs interfere with practicing their profession, perhaps they should do something else." The Protection of Conscience Project feels differently: Protection of Conscience Laws are needed because powerful interests are inclined to force health care workers and others to participate, directly or indirectly, in morally controversial procedures, while NARAL says: ... Many of these clauses go far beyond respecting individuals' beliefs to the point of harming women by not providing them with full information or access to medical treatment. Medicine, not ideology, should determine medical decisions.
Dr. Cat v. Dog, Esq.
Doctors refuse laywers. So your last client managed to get restitution from that quack who left the clamp in her abdomen, just in time to pay for your daughter's delivery. Good luck finding an OB. Or perhaps your husband works for a law firm. Good luck with that nursing job. Maybe you're a neurosurgeon making less take-home than your insurance premiums. What are you going to say to the next ambulance chaser with migrane trouble? The war between the two solitudes could start racking up a real body-count.

Agree with the colored poster board, just keep the background a distance behind the fly so it is not in focus (nice blurred background).
I just started experimenting with a new technique I found in some of the macro photography forums. If you are using a macro lens with a SLR digital camera, you can put the camera on a tripod with a f stop of at least 16 (more depth of field) and take a series of photos from front to back or visa versa with a focus point moving up the length of the fly (5-6 points seem the work fine) then use a program that stacks the images as overlays with a result of having the entire fly and hackle in focus. The program is a free down load called "Combine ZM" I will try to post a link if interested.
Lighting and White balance are also important. Try diffusing the light with white tissue paper or bouncing the flash to reduce shadows. This may be over kill for you but it works great.
Here is an example of the process:

The current Spa City Hotdogs menu is short and sweet, literally. With items like "peanut butter madness" the hotdog with peanut butter, maple bacon and jalapenos or the more traditional "all the way NYC" with sabrett onion sauce, kraut and spicy brown mustard, it's a toss up whether people will embrace these different options or be turned away.
For those who love a fresh hotdog on a hot summer night, I think Spa City Hotdogs will be booming this summer. Be sure to look out for them in front of Putnam Den each Thursday - Saturday this summer.

About 600 km farther westward later now. I have driven from an area of Canada first settled in the 1640s by Baroque explorers to one that came under the Victorian British plow around two hundred years later. When I was at the museum that sits on the spot where the French founded Montreal, standing among foundations in a thoughtful presentation, I spoke with a nice young staffer who had no idea that my town just 300 km up the St. Lawrence has a lot of its early stone buildings still up, occupied with people working.
After days of clinky cafe life and an amazing amount of second hand smoke, our hotel tonight is part of a small prosperous Ojibwe community set among fields and woodlots. One of the bigger names in US country music is playing across the road. Didn't know until I checked in. I have a sense the quiet of the hallways is a temporary state of affairs but that is fine. For three nights, we slept soundly to the roar of the big city.
The combination of experiences since waking has an odd sense of Canadiana about it - as did stopping at a small town LCBO on the way. I have a complex relationship with the store my son has dubbed the LickBo. It has plenty of what anyone might need, the prices are good for the most part but there is that whole unevenness of stock selection thing. Sometimes it is irritating and then, like today, you stop in a town of just a few thousand surrounded by miles of farms and find Fuller's London Porter, Spaten München as well as Chimay "off-white" on the shelves. Which should be more than enough, right? But a half hour's drive to the next state monopoly store in the next market town might have none of those but a few others that are interesting enough. The managers likely have no idea what each other stocks... or why.

These were delicious! However, there was way too much filling. It made 3 dozen Tassies, and there was so much left over I baked it in a 6" casserole 1" deep. I added a dash of salt to the crust and the filling. I made 1 dozen with gluten-free pastry, using 1/4 cup cream cheese, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/2 cup gluten free baking mix, and handled it the same way as regular pastry. There were just as good as regular, and just as easy.
Tasses, After looking through every single pecan pie tassies and pecan tart recipe on Recipezaar, I chose your recipe because I wanted the "pecan pie" filling too. The filling was perfect and the shortbread flaky and buttery. I will use this recipe every Christmas holiday. I quadrapled the dough recipe but only doubled the filling. It worked out, but I made the pastry a little thick because it was so good! I can't wait for everyone to try them. Thank you for posting this wonderful recipe.
I used pre-made pastry in mini muffin tins to make these tassies. Served them at a bridal shower and everyone enjoyed these. I used a dark corn syrup. Thanks for sharing.

Holocaust Victims' Violins to be Used in Monaco Concert
The Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte-Carlo will perform a "Violins of Hope" concert in Monaco featuring
Several violins of Jewish Holocaust victims murdered by the Nazis
The concert will be held May 5 at Monaco's Grimaldi Forum, and the stories of their owners will be told, according to a report in the Nice, France Matain daily.
The idea was initiated by Smadar Eisenberg, president of Friends of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Monte-Carlo association, who obtained the instruments from the atelier of Amnon Weinstein – an Israeli violin maker who for years has been collecting and restoring musical instruments belonging to Holocaust victims.
The life stories of the instruments' owners will be told during the concert along with other biographies of musicians who lived through the Holocaust, including that of Alma Rosé, a conductor of the Auschwitz women's orchestra and niece to the composer Gustav Mahler.
Additionally, homage will be paid at the concert to Hans Krasa and Gideon Klein – two Jewish musicians who continued to compose until their deaths in the Nazis' gas chambers.
All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the Hebrew University's neurology research center.JTA

Greetings! Does anyone know of a forum/message board for folks in metro areas looking to share housing or to rent a room? I'm moving to Chicago next month and thought I might like to find another HIV+ person to rent a room from, but I'm not having much luck finding such a site. I hate to post it on Craig's list "HIV+ seeks same to room!" or perhaps not?Your thoughts?
Hi Chicago~Have you contacted any ASO's in the area? They might be able to assist. http://www.thebody.com/hotlines/other.html#IllinoisI wouldn't hesitate to post on Craigslist, but I would probably post under the "Personals--Men Seeking Men" forum rather than the general "Housing Wanted" forum.Perhaps someone from the Chicago area will be along soon and can be of more help.Good luck with your move!

Puthussery Lab
Structure and Function of Retinal Circuits
At the first retinal synapse, cone signals are segregated into parallel processing streams by different types of bipolar cells, the second-order neurons of the retina. There are at least 10 types of bipolar cell in the human retina, yet relatively little is known about their functional properties and how they modify cone signals to generate the distinct functional properties of ganglion cells. We are currently investigating how differences in glutamate receptors and voltage-gated ion channels influence the functional properties of bipolar cells that drive the magnocellular and parvocellular visual pathways of the primate retina. To approach these questions, we make single-cell recordings from bipolar cells and ganglion cells in whole-mounts. To complement these physiological investigations, we combine immunohistochemistry with super-resolution and confocal microscopy to study the localization of voltage-gated channels and neurotransmitter receptors in retinal neurons. Recently we have found that voltage-gated sodium channels are expressed in bipolar cells that drive the parasol ganglion cells of the magnocellular pathway, a mechanism that is likely to enhance motion detection (See our recent publication from this project: Puthussery et al., 2013, J Neurosci).
Neural Signaling in the Degenerating Retina
We are also interested in how neural signaling is altered by photoreceptor degenerations such as Retinitis Pigmentosa and Age-Related Macular Degeneration. We are currently investigating changes in ion channel function in degenerating photoreceptors and examining the effect of photoreceptor degeneration on function of downstream bipolar cells.
Employment Opportunities
A postdoctoral position is currently available in the Puthussery lab for a qualified Ph.D. A background in cell biology, neuroscience or physiology is ideal. If interested, please send your curriculum vitae and the names of three references to email@example.com.

Sylvia Lee Bahovec
Sylvia Lee Bahovec passed away from pancreatic cancer June 26, 2013.
She was born in Caldwell, Idaho.
Sylvia lead a very exciting life in her youth. She sang and danced on USO tours, later performed on the 3rd biggest cruise ship at the time, the Raffellio, and in clubs in New Jersey. In New York the patrons would clear the floors to watch Sylvia and her husband dance. From living in the Virgin Islands to being a deck boss commercial fishing, she and Lawrence traveled abroad extensively. In Yugoslavia a film crew treated them as royalty touring with them making a documentary about Lawrence's father Fredrick Bahovec. (Lawrence was the first native Alaskan Tlingit on TV there.)
Last year at 75 she went zip lining in Hawaii. Wrangellites will remember her as the founder of the Shady Lady Fancy Dress Ball and the ugly dog contest. She and the original Shady Ladies traveled to promote Wrangell tourism and were in the Sea Fair Parade many times. She also had "Something Special", a gift store with beautiful and unique gifts. She made exclusive custom jewelry, was an avid reader and a fantastic cook with published recipes.
She was preceded in death by her parents; brother Rex; sons Craig Vandervest and Tom Maxand; and granddaughter Hanna Maxand.
She is survived by: her loving husband of 33 years, Lawrence Bahovec; her daughter Shannon Vandervest; grandchildren John Franco, Laura Lee and Brook Vandervest, Katrina Chelse and Heidi Berg, Trent Maxand; six great grandchildren; and siblings Vaughn and Ramona Zimmerman.
A service will be announced this fall.

Free Skin Cancer Screening
Posted: August 13, 2013
ORANGE CITY – On July 25, nearly 60 community members came to Florida Hospital Fish Memorial for a free skin cancer screening. Of those, 21 were advised to see a specialist for care and nine needed biopsies.
"More than 2.2 million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year. That is a large number of people, and unfortunately, that number is expected to continually rise," said Mohamad Masri, MD, Florida Hospital Fish Memorial Oncologist/Hematologist and one of the physicians who performed the free skin cancer screenings. "It is a common misconception that you cannot die from skin cancer, but the unfortunate truth is that one person dies from melanoma almost every hour. That's why it is important, especially for Floridians who are often out in the sun, to watch for changes in your skin and get an annual skin screening."
About Florida Hospital Fish Memorial
Florida Hospital Fish Memorial is a 175-bed full-service hospital providing inpatient and outpatient services in addition to 24-hour emergency and critical care. The hospital is a member of Adventist Health System, the largest Protestant not-for-profit hospital system in the nation and works to provide exceptional, patient-focused care to the DeBary, Deltona, Orange City and Sanford communities.

If you do science you should read this
Brian Greene, a professor of physics at Columbia, writes in the Sunday New York Times (June 1, 2008), ". . . Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective…..To be able to think through and grasp explanations — for everything from why the sky is blue to how life formed on earth — not because they are declared dogma but rather because they reveal patterns confirmed by experiment and observation, is one of...

conflict with Bayezid II
Bayezid II was the elder son of the sultan Mehmed II, the conqueror of Constantinople. On the death of his father in 1481, his brother Cem contested the succession. Bayezid, supported by a strong faction of court officials at Constantinople, succeeded in taking the throne. Cem eventually sought refuge with the Knights of Saint John at Rhodes and remained a captive until his death in 1495.
...party and the Turkish aristocracy. Bayezid was installed on the throne by the Janissaries because of their military domination of the capital, while his more militant brother Cem fled to Anatolia, where he led a revolt initially supported by the Turkish notables. Bayezid managed to conciliate the latter, however, by exposing to them his essentially pacific plans, which...

...loftiness and grandeur of expression. The 14th- and 15th-century representatives of the classical style displayed great charm in their literary compositions, their verses simple and pleasing. Sultan Cem (Jem; died 1495), son of Mehmed the Conqueror, is an outstanding representative of their number. But soon the high-flown style of post-classical Persian was being imitated by Ottoman authors,...
imprisonment by Aubusson
Later, when Cem (Jem), brother of Mehmed's successor Bayezid II, took refuge in Rhodes, Aubusson, despite his promise to Cem of safe conduct, accepted a bribe from Bayezid and had Cem imprisoned. After six years, Aubusson turned Cem over to Pope Innocent VIII, who had been vying with the kings of Hungary and Naples for the possession of so valuable a political weapon as the Sultan's brother.

I can't even fathom the time and patience this must have taken Daniel Larsson and Tomas Redigh to complete. All made from coins. Can you imagine? Commitment with a capital "C". Great job guys. Perfect 8 bit soundtrack too.

I was really hoping I'd pop across to the comments to see that someone else had already made the 'doubting thomas' remarks that I now feel obliged to make.ReplyDelete
If they'd been here already I'd be able to share a little thrill of righteousness, then perhaps a humble spoonful of melancholy that this 'D Thomas' was so keen to spend his (or her) actual life doing all this doubting... perhaps these guys really DID spend weeks and weeks in their 'living room' pushing coins around a large black cloth?
Nah. Ad creatives with time and not enough paying clients this week. I blame the over eager animator they cajoled into doing the fakery with the promise of a gig on the next Dove concept.

One of the most out-of-left-field awesome video games for the Wii last year was the Steven Spielberg developed Boom Blox. Today, Spielberg and Electronic Arts announced a second game in their partnership, Boom Blox Bash Party! It's going to be released this spring for the Wii.
The game will be more social experience than the first Boom Blox. It includes an online component and the ability for users to share levels that they build with others online, as well as download extra levels from EA. Spielberg said, "We know families and friends really enjoyed playing the original Boom Blox together, so we designed more explosive multiplayer experiences with Boom Blox Bash Party."

text: Posted January 16, 2013 · Report post I usually skip the primer in my makeup routine and just apply moisturizer (boscia's black hydrating gel), but sometimes my makeup settles into fine lines, or even creates fine lines where there aren't any lol. My foundation is supposed to be anti aging, but I think it needs a good primer to go on smoothly. I would like to find something that is paraben free, noncosmedogenic, does not clog pores, and targets fine lines (I only have a few on days where my skin is on the drier side of its oiliness). Any suggestions? Primers I tried: korres, boscia, laura mercier, too faced, smashbox, bare minerals... didn't have much success with these. Any other recommendations? Current regimen: garlic supplements [as needed], Enzymedica gluten blocker [as needed], nicadan [not sure if it works yet]. I try to simplify as much as I can. Don't take more supplements than you need....try one at a time and be patient. The supplements that really helped me when my acne was at its worst: inositol, DIM [not as frequently now!] digestive enzymes [don't need them every day anymore, only on cheat days], herpanacine & vitamin C with rose hips/ low acid [not every day], regular sun exposure for vitamin D3, superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzyme supplements. NOTE: I do not recommend DIM for long term use, and I do not recommend hormonal creams without doctor supervision. Lifestyle & Skin Care: acupuncture, regular exercise/ yoga, low histamine diet, avoiding unnecessary stress, balancing skin's PH (using Image Ormedics), using distilled/ filtered water to wash face, occasional high frequency facials...

As our community moves closer and closer to the wildland urban interface - the area where the "city" meets open land - there are practical and specific steps you can take to protect your home from wildfires.
Defensible Space is the area around your home where the vegetation has been modified to reduce the fire threat. The size of a home's defensible space varies, depending upon property size, location, and topography. Sometimes a defensible space is simply a homeowner's properly maintained backyard. Yet another property owner might need to provide over 200 feet of defensible space around their property. To calculate an effective defensible space for your home, go to http://www.livingwithfire.info/. Click on "before the fire" and then go to the "defensible space" section. Please explore this website. It will give you great information on many aspects of how to protect your home from wildland fire.
The purpose of defensible space is two-fold. A properly designed defensible space can provide our firefighters with a safe place from which to defend your home from an approaching wildland fire. At the same time, homes with adequate defensible space are more likely to survive a wildland fire, even without firefighter assistance.
The Sparks Fire Department would like to encourage you to create a defensible space around your home. You can do this by implementing the three "R's" into your landscaping design: Removal, Reduction, and Replacement. Remove dead or flammable vegetation. Reduce vegetation by pruning or mowing. Providing space between plants and trees removes the continuous fuel bed that might otherwise exist throughout your yard. The more continuous and dense the vegetation in your yard, the greater the wildfire threat to your home. Replace flammable vegetation with less hazardous choices. Shorter plants are better than taller plants, and non-woody plants are better than evergreens or junipers.
It is also important for the safety of our firefighters, should they respond to a wildland fire in your area, that your address is clearly posted and readily visible from the street, and that the street signs are posted and unobstructed. Clear vegetation along both sides of your driveway; and, if your driveway is longer than 150 feet, a turnaround suitable and large enough for fire equipment is required.
As more and more of us move into what was formerly open spaces, it becomes increasingly important that we work together, as neighbors, to keep our homes, our subdivisions, and our communities safe. Ideally, we should all have appropriate defensible space around our homes. If you and your neighbors would like help organizing, planning, applying for grant money, and implementing a fire safe neighborhood plan, the Nevada Fire Safe Council can help. The Nevada Fire Safe Council is a non-profit membership based organization whose mission is to assist local groups who are willing to take the necessary action to improve the survivability of their neighborhoods and communities. For further information, please visit their website at www.nvfsc.org.
For more information on wildland fire safety visit http://www.firewise.org/.
If you have questions or would like clarification on any of this information, please do not hesitate to contact the Sparks Division of Fire Prevention at 353-2266.

What is Intellectual property (IP)?
According to the Intellectual Property Institute of Canada:
"Patents, trade-marks, copyright, industrial designs and similar rights are referred to as "intellectual property". These rights are "property" in the sense that they are based on the legal right to exclude others from using the property and in that ownership of the rights can be transferred. The rights are "intellectual" in the sense that they protect intangible subjects, usually arising out of some form of human creativity."

I have had the good fortune of always being able to offer my little baby plenty of milk. However, in all that I've read about the problem of over-supplying, it'll go down once you follow cues of your baby. Well, it's been 2 months now and I have the problem of wetting my sheets every night even though I sleep with a cloth diaper in my nursing bra. (When I wake up for her 2AM feeding it is soaked through & I have to change it, but my sheets are still always soaked.) I go through at least 2 sets of disposable nursing pads during the day.
For about 4 weeks, I went without pumping any extra milk at all to see if my supply would somehow regulate, but it made the problem worse because I would leak through shirts and get lots of clogged ducts. For about a week or so, I've been pumping to relieve some of my supply and it's been better. I'll actually get about 4 ounces or more AFTER I've fed my daughter. I've been freezing it.
However, my concern is this: though pumping has temporarily fixed the problem, I'm worried that pumping will actually increase my milk supply even MORE and then she won't get through to the hind milk. Advice?!

Patriot Docks can be ordered with maintenance-free poly Dock-Top™ panels or with cedar decking. Both options involve 4' x 4' drop in sections that are easy to handle. With Patriot Docks, deck panels are supported all around their perimeter and down the center. Most dock makers only support the ends and the center. The difference results in secure panel end support for a solid feel as you move up and down your dock. Only Patriot Docks include strong cross tie supports every four feet. Both types of panels stay put because of the underside rails and/or ribs.
Cedar Deck
Poly Dock-Top™
Individual panels connect together with 6 connecting clips. Simply lay panels upside down on a flat surface and tap on the self-aligning connecting clips with a hammer. It takes just a minute or two for each 4x4 section. Optional Deck Lockers keep poly decking on the dock in windy conditions. These mount on the bottom side at the edge joints. Simply twist the rotating swivel to "lock" the panel to the frame. For more details on the Dock-Top™ go to www.dock-top.com.

Kathy and Bruce Workman are quite the dynamic duo. Owners of Edelweiss Cheese Shop in Verona, the couple combined Bruce's forty years of cheese-making experience with Kathy's warm personality and managerial prowess to launch the specialty-store-meets-deli one year ago as an extension of Edelweiss Creamery, a fixture in Monticello for ten years.
Since opening in 2012, the shop has attracted both local and national customers intent on sampling the store's premier artisan Wisconsin cheeses. "About fifty percent of the people come in for cheese curds, because they think that's what Wisconsin represents," Kathy says.
Still, the offerings exceed merely cheese. Edelweiss Cheese Shop stocks quality accouterments like Quince and Apple preserves and Potter's Crackers, plus local meats from Gempeler's of Monticello and Usinger's and Bolzano of Milwaukee. You'll also find an extensive selection of Wisconsin-brewed craft beers and a handful of wines and sodas made in-state.
Don't miss the pithy (yet delectable) deli sandwich menu: Build-your-own with meat, cheese and veggie choices or try a Braunschweiger and onion sandwich, a grilled Reuben or the shop's unparalleled grilled cheese that boasts a mélange of melted-to-perfection cheddar, Swiss and Butterkäse. Whatever you choose, pair it with a side of chips and a pickle and a local beverage and you're in Dairy State paradise.
Kathy is passionate about expanding customers' knowledge of artisan Wisconsin cheeses offered at the shop, which include Lacy Swiss, Muenster, Gouda, Emmentaler, Havarti and Butterkäse, one of the store's most popular products.
"I try to sway them a little toward something different, so we always have samples out for them to try."
