Eastbourne is one of Britain's more elegant resorts, enjoying a glorious location on the south east coast. With a relaxed atmosphere and excellent sunshine record, the resort has been a firm favourite with holidaymakers for decades. Notable features include its flat five mile promenade, lined with benches and decorated by Eastbourne's famous Carpet Gardens.
There is a small train that runs along the promenade, stopping at the various attractions, restaurants and cafés on the sea front. The resort boasts a good variety of sporting facilities for both participants and spectators, from bowls to international tennis. There are museums, cinemas and dancing at the Winter Gardens as well as all day concerts performed on Eastbourne's attractive Edwardian bandstand.
This stretch of coastline is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The breathtaking chalk cliffs of the South Downs mingle with the broad sandy shores ideal for bathing. Beachy Head, the most famous cliff of the Eastbourne downland, has spectacular panoramic views from Brighton in the west to Dungeness in Kent to the east.
The resort is close to the historical sites of Hastings and Battle and a short drive to Brighton, one of the country's oldest and most fashionable resorts. Inland, the picturesque Cuckmere Valley is a delight to explore and a visit to the nearby English Wine Centre for a tasting is a must. For those who wish to explore further afield, there are daily excursions to France which can be booked in the resort (passport required for trips to France).
Town Centre
Shoppers will find high street names amongst the town's flower-lined pedestrianised streets and its main indoor centre, the Arndale. For those looking for the exclusive and distinctly individual, the Little Chelsea Quarter sells antiques, hand-made furniture, jewellery and ceramics.
Beach and Gardens
Eastbourne has clean, inviting beaches, predominantly of shingle leading to sand at low tide, which offer excellent bathing. Its award-winning gardens range from the striking Carpet Gardens along the sea-front, to the rockery of Helen Gardens and the shingle based Sovereign Park with its 130 species of wildflowers.

Agile Development Processes
Many product development organizations have been experimenting with what has become known as "Agile Software Development" methods, the most popular of which is known as "Extreme Programming" (XP) but there are several others including Crystal, Adaptive, Scrum, and Pragmatic Programming.
Titles, Roles and Responsibilities
The more I discuss the role of product management with people the more I run into confusion about titles. The title "Product Manager" can mean very different things to different people, depending on the industry they're from or even the particular company they work at. To me this is a sign of how new the high-tech product development field still is.

Inspire Families to Read Together — Host a Pajama Party!
Children love being read to, especially right before bedtime. There's something really special about cuddling up in bed under the covers with a great book. Why not motivate your students to read by creating a class celebration that promotes literacy? Read Across America Day on March 2nd is the perfect date to invite families into your classroom for a reading celebration. Take a look at photos from the last pajama party at my school, and read about sure ways to make your party a hit. Grab a comfortable pair of pj's, and let the reading begin!
Read Across America
Join schools across the nation in a celebration of reading on Wednesday, March 2nd. Visit Seussville to find out more about this special day. You'll find printable activities there, as well as lesson plans and a planning calendar to help you incorporate the writing of Dr. Seuss into your classroom throughout the year. My Top Teaching friend Ruth Manna wrote a post on planning for this special day a few weeks ago. The incredible Christy Crawford teaches us that "Reading Goes to the Dogs" in her post about inviting therapy dogs into the classroom — something I hope to do, too. Check out these posts for ideas as you make your plans to read, read, read!
Host a Pajama Party!
As you make your plans to celebrate Read Across America Day, consider hosting a special pajama party in celebration of literacy. It doesn't have to last more than an hour, yet students will remember this special day for years to come.
Share your thoughts about creating this event with your administrators and colleagues. These conversations are a starting point to get your entire school community involved with inspiring students and their families to read together.
Create a Welcoming Invite
I work in a school that is located right in the middle of Jackson Heights, Queens, one of the most diverse neighborhoods in New York City. Many of our students' families speak languages other than English at home. Regardless of their first language, every parent should feel welcomed and able to become involved in this event. They may feel hesitant to read aloud in front of others, so encourage them to bring in books written in their native language. Translate your invitation into the languages that your students' parents speak. Make them feel comfortable so that they will join in the fun.
Consider Parents' Availability
Remember, not all parents will be able to attend your party. I grew up in a single parent family with a mother who worked really hard to make ends meet. I honestly don't know how she did it. It was very difficult for her to take time off from work to attend events that took place during the school day. There were many times when she just couldn't make it, no matter how much she wanted to.
It's important to be thoughtful about your students' home situations. Some children may be upset that their moms and dads will not be able to attend. Prepare your students for this before the event, to help them cope with their feelings. Perhaps a grandparent, aunt, uncle, or older sibling can make it instead? You want your event to be a success. Make other options available so that no one feels left out.
Photo above: My mother, Joanne, with my sister, Jennifer, and I in the early '70s.
I have found that most parents who are able to attend will gladly share their books and their time with other students in the class. Give them an extra special thanks for helping out.
How will you know who will be attending? When creating your invite, include a tear-off sheet like the one below to help you get ready for your guests. Use this information to speak with your students about parents who may not be able to make it.
Since you'll have parents in and out of your classroom on the day of the event, this is a great opportunity to provide them with resources to support their children at home. Print out a few articles to hand out at the end of the party. Whether you give out a collection of tips on improving reading comprehension, suggestions to help them choose books to read at home, or ideas for "non-book" ways to get their children reading, your efforts will be appreciated.
Have a computer set up with Scholastic.com's Parents site displayed and allow them to sign up to receive a monthly newsletter. Parents are always looking for tools to use at home. Provide them with opportunities to gather resources to help support the reading work you are doing in the classroom.
Enjoy the Celebration!
Our schoolwide pajama party took place last week and was a great success. Take a look at these photos and tips to help you get ready for your big day.
Tip #1: Ask your students to bring in their favorite book from home.
Photo: Reagan and her mom enjoy reading a family favorite, When Vegetables Go Bad! by Don Gillmor.
(I love how mom arrived in her pajamas, too!)
Tip #2: Invite parents to read books written in their home language.
Photo: Caroline and her mom read Con todo mi corazón, the Spanish version of I Love You With All My Heart.
Tip #3: Remember to serve up some snacks. (Cookies and milk are always a hit!)
Photo: Joe takes a break from reading to serve up the delicious cookies to the guests.
Photo: Brandon and his mom read James and the Giant Peach while munching on some snacks.
Tip #4: Bring in a favorite stuffed animal from home. (You're never too old.)
Photo: These smiling 4th graders had plenty of "friends" to read to!
Photo: Juliana reads to Rebecca, her American Girl doll — in matching pj's, of course!
Tip #5: Have some of YOUR favorite books on hand to share with students.
Photo: Braezy, Michelle, and Valentina enjoy my copy of Oliver Jeffers' Lost and Found.
Tip #6: Encourage parents to sit down and get comfortable!
Photo: Gianna's dad joins in on the fun. Daniela and Gianna take turns reading to him.
Tip #7: Allow students to share an eBook with friends!
Photos above: Sydney shares an eBook on her Nook with Olivia, Chelsea, and Valentina.
Tip #8: Remember to wear your pajamas!
Photo: Kevin and Thomas look great in their pajamas. Armed with cookies and books, they are ready to read!
Tip #9: Invite (a virtual) Justin Bieber to your party!
OK, I must admit it. I have Bieber fever! It started when I took Olivia and Ryan (my 7-year-old niece and 9-year-old nephew) to see Justin Bieber's movie Never Say Never last Saturday. I was really impressed with how talented this young star is. (It was a good movie! Go see it!)
Shortly after seeing the movie, my sister found a special link of Justin Bieber reading a bedtime story on Pizza Hut's site for their incredible reading incentive program "Book It!" Like it or not, most of your students are probably head over heels for him. Allow them to watch Justin Bieber reading Dr. Seuss' classic The Cat in the Hat. They are sure to get a kick out of it!
Tip #10: Have fun!
I hope that these ideas will inspire you to start planning a fun event to connect with your students and their families. Whether it's a classroom party, a grade level event, or a schoolwide celebration, you will make an impact on students and their families as you get them excited about reading. With state tests right around the corner, we all need to celebrate reading now more than ever. Open up your classroom and invite family members in to join your community of readers. Enjoy!

Hi Dr. Haidary! =)
We really have a great team of teachers and administrators working together. Add supportive parents to the mix, and you've got an amazing school. I'm so glad that you are a part of it all!!
=) Danielle
Kathy!! I think I caught a glimpse of you wearing a nice pair of slippers on pajama day! I'm glad that your cuties in C06 had a fun time. With or without pajamas, I know that you are always working hard to make reading fun. The kids have told me all about Poppleton and his character traits. Keep up the amazing work in there!
=) Danielle
Hi Kelly! Awwww, you're welcome. Comments like yours make it all worth it. Thanks for taking the time to follow my posts. =)
The reading with Justin Bieber is so cute! It will have lots of little girls looking for Seuss books. I'm really upset that the "Book It!" site no longer makes it accessible. So, I reached out to them and wrote this:
"I ♥ Book It! and added a link to Justin reading, The Cat In The Hat on my latest blog post with Scholastic. . .However, I see that the video is no longer available!!? Is there any other link available for kids to access it?! =,("
Here is a copy of their response:
"We are checking on this. If is possible to extend use of the webcast, we'll communicate with a post here as well as on our site. Thanks.- Official BOOK IT! Program"
So, I'm crossing my fingers that they will extend the use of the webcast. In the meantime, I hope you can access it at your school using YouTube!
=) Danielle
Hi Carin! Thank YOU for getting the whole school involved in such a great event. I know there was a question about allowing the upper grade students to wear pajamas to school. You encouraged students to write persuasive letters to convince you to let them come to class in their pj's -- and they did! I read one of the letters and it was pretty amazing. As you can see from these photos, the children in the upper grades loved coming to class in pajamas. It was really such a great day. Thank you for allowing us to have fun with reading!
=) Danielle
PJ Day was a huge success, again. How cute to see everyone dressed and ready to read. So many parents went in late to work to participate in this fabulous event. Kudos to you for arranging it!!
Ms. Mahoney this is way adorable. It is wonderful to see our children and parents reading together. We in C06 had a truly successful day! KD
Danielle, I just wanted to say thank you for all the wonderful ideas! I have become a "follower" of your posts and I know the Justin Beiber clip is going to rock some of my second grade girls worlds next Wednesday!
Thanks again!
It was so nice to see so many parents reading with their children. A good time was had by all.
Thanks for your comment, Melissa! When I checked the links this morning, I was happy to find out that Pizza Hut was celebrating the success of the bedtime story viewing. "Over 506,000 people viewed Justin's reading!" However, I was really upset that they made the video inaccessible! It was still up and running late last night. =( I contacted them to see if they could make the link available so that kids can continue to have access to it, but haven't heard back. But yes, luckily, you can find the link on YouTube. (Many schools will have that site blocked, but kids can watch it at home with their parents.) Sorry if it caused you any trouble! Thanks again! =) Danielle
Hi Chanda! I was so surprised to walk into your classroom to find your students gathered around Sydney's Nook!! (How cute are those little girls?!? Love them!!) Technology has come a long way since my first reading pj party over 10 years ago!! You had a terrific turn out with so many parents. I love the photo of Yasmin and her family. Such a wonderful event!!
;) Danielle
I couldn't find Justin Beiber on the link (it showed him, but wouldn't allow you to watch it),but I found it on you tube. Just FYI
Love the pics!!, thanks

For the cheesecake filling
- 3 x 300g/11oz pack Philadelphia cheese, or other full-fat soft cheese
- 250g golden caster sugar
- 3 tbsp plain flour
- 1½ tsp vanilla extract
- finely grated zest of 1 lemon (about 2 tsp)

- 1½ tsp lemon juice
- 3 large egg, plus 1 yolk
- 284ml carton soured cream
For the soured cream topping
- 142ml carton soured cream
- 1 tbsp golden caster sugar
- 2 tsp lemon juice
Position an oven shelf in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to fan 160C/conventional 180C/gas 4. Line the base of a 23cm springform cake tin with parchment paper. For the crust, melt the butter in a medium pan. Stir in the biscuit crumbs and sugar so the mixture is evenly moistened. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack while preparing the filling.
For the filling, increase the oven temperature to fan 200C/conventional 240C/gas 9. In a table top mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the soft cheese at medium-low speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. With the mixer on low, gradually add the sugar, then the flour and a pinch of salt, scraping down the sides of the bowl and the paddle twice.
Swap the paddle attachment for the whisk. Continue by adding the vanilla, lemon zest and juice. Whisk in the eggs and yolk, one at a time, scraping the bowl and whisk at least twice. Stir the 284ml carton of soured cream until smooth, then measure 200ml/7fl oz (just over 3⁄4 of the carton). Continue on low speed as you add the measured soured cream (reserve the rest). Whisk to blend, but don't over-beat. The batter should be smooth, light and somewhat airy.
Brush the sides of the springform tin with melted butter and put on a baking sheet. Pour in the filling - if there are any lumps, sink them using a knife - the top should be as smooth as possible. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to fan 90C/conventional 110C/gas 1⁄4 and bake for 25 minutes more. If you gently shake the tin, the filling should have a slight wobble. Turn off the oven and open the oven door for a cheesecake that's creamy in the centre, or leave it closed if you prefer a drier texture. Let cool in the oven for 2 hours. The cheesecake may get a slight crack on top as it cools.
Combine the reserved soured cream with the 142ml carton, the sugar and lemon juice for the topping. Spread over the cheesecake right to the edges. Cover loosely with foil and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Run a round-bladed knife around the sides of the tin to loosen any stuck edges. Unlock the side, slide the cheesecake off the bottom of the tin onto a plate, then slide the parchment paper out from underneath.
Mixing the ingredients
The way you blend the ingredients is crucial: under-beating can lead to a lumpy mixture, over-beating can whip in too much air. This can result in uneven cooking, bubbles, and cracking.
Keep everything at room temperature
Keep everything at room temperature. To avoid lumps and ensure even mixing without over-beating, it is essential to have the soft cheese at room temperature before starting. Ideally, let it come to room temperature in its pack for 2 hours. If you're short of time, cut the soft cheese into chunks and leave to soften for 1 hour. It also helps to have a tabletop mixer with a powerful motor. But if you don't have one, a hand-held mixer works fine.

this is a clip of this cheesecake being made..
I've made this cheesecake twice now, and I have only used 2/3 of the ingredients (600g soft cheese etc) and I still find that there is alot of it and more than 12 servings. I love the cheesecake, however the biscuit bottom is thin and does go very soggy, I doubled up the amount of biscuits I used the second time to make it thicker. Great recipe though, easy to make and very yummy! just very large.
Made this cheesecake the other day. Very nice!! I wouldn't change a thing. It baked fine in my electric fan oven just right at the times given. I have two small queries. Family complaining of soggy bottom. Anyone know why this happens? It happened with the Tia Maria cheesecake but I thought that was because I froze it. Second some of the instructions slightly confusing. the bit about putting the sour cream in, to me it reads as if you need two large cartons of sour cream??! I just used one, and it turned out ok. I would definitely make this again. Family love even with the soggy bottom.
Made this at the weekend. Like many comments already posted it needs more biscuit for the base. After adding the mixture to the base I cooked mine for about 45 mins total and two hours cooling in the oven then into the fridge. Whilst it was absolutely delicious I felt it a little too light in texture, for me it could have been a bit firmer. That could have been because it needed a longer cooking time or perhaps I over whisked the ingredients. I didn't whisk for very long but I don't have table top mixer and my hand held has various speeds which starts as fast and then faster. I will definitely make it again though but will add more biscuit and reduce mixing time to a minimum and see how it goes from there.
Now been three days since I made the Cheese cake and the texture has actually improved so it is now the consistency I expected it to be. The lemon flavour is much more subtle so I think it really benefits from resting in the fridge for a couple of days. Only problem is that there is a lot of liquid at the base but this may be improved with a thicker base.
Making this right now, can't comment on test yet but have a small issue, I use a fan electric oven, the cheesecake has taken a lot longer than recommended to cook. Every time I check with the knife it comes out with cream on. Any suggestions for next time...higher temp for longer or is it meant to take that long to cook and the 35mins suggested is wrong?
I know it may be to late but for the future, when you do a baked cheese cake it will not be the right thickness when out the oven i would stick to the cooking times (adjusted for your oven) and look for the wobble in the cake as described in the description. Unlike cakes it will not set in the oven, leaving it to cool in the oven is the 1st process of this and the overnight chill is the second. If you leave it in the oven to long you may find it has a grainy texture which is cause it has curdled from over cooking. I found this out when doing my first baked cheese cake!
well, this is the first cheesecake i have ever made and the response from my friends after eating it was amazing. a slice of heaven, i can die happy now, best cheesecake i have ever tasted, delightful are just some of the comments i recieved and i agree with all of them, best chhesecake ever. i topped it with dark belgium choc sauce, strawberries/kiwi and honeycomb bits.

Nokia N8 Compression Module Hacked! – Smooth 30FPS video and 11MB 12MP noise reduced images.
During my lecture I read some comments here (thanks Alex68 for tip) and on twitter about hyperX's mod for the N8 (he's the guy responsible for giving the i8910 life after the glorious abandonment from Samsung) – google didn't show anything but vaibhav from the handheldblog found the original hyperX post.
First to note is the N8's image sizes. They're incredibly compact. 12MP images are around 1-2MB. In comparison, the i8910 form samsung has 8MP at 3-4MB with the Panasonic Lumix TZ10 (camera) at a hefty 5MB for its 12MP shooter.
With file compression, you loose a touch of detail. Remarkably that's less evident with the N8. This mod unfurls the compression from a slight 1-2MB to 11MB.
Just bask in that heavily noise reduced image. Look at the leaves and the clarity of the licence plate at this crop. Now the N8 has very high detail anyway (despite what engadget shows in their tests), and it would be interesting to see a comparison image of non-hacked N8.
Next the video. A change from 25FPS to 30FPS.
YouTube upload and Original file.
Download the original file from here.
Damien Dinning (head honcho, Nokia Imaging) has mentioned before that they are working on increasing frame rate (as well as possible continuous autofocus) – whether that will ever reach consumers and if so when is uncertain.
YouTube version below, though note that it's still processing and youtube does mangle the quality/frame rate of the uploads.
- Based on the original file – The panning whilst super quick is very smooth. There's no sense of being inside jelly and the screen just wobbling. (But in the youtube video it seems to have dropped some frames as the jelly effect is much more obvious – though no where near as bad as on the SE VIVAZ where it feels like you're in a blender)
- Again for comparison of improvement we do need 25FPS version.

Purpose: Monthly dosing with inhibitors of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) results in stable or improved visual acuity in most patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration. However, a minority of patients show little if any response to therapy with persistent or worsening macular fluid. Pharmacokinetic modeling was performed to determine if more frequent dosing with anti-VEGF drugs could be theoretically beneficial.
Methods: A mathematical model comparing the time-dependent relative binding activities of ranibizumab, bevacizumab, and aflibercept (VEGF Trap-eye; VTE) was used to determine the theoretical peak and trough binding activities when the drugs were injected every 14 days and every 28 days. The intravitreal half-lives of ranibizumab, bevacizumab, and the VTE were estimated to be 3.2, 5.6, and 4.8 days, respectively. The relative molar binding activities of ranibizumab, bevacizumab, and the VTE used in the analyses were 1, 0.05 to 0.2, and 140, respectively. The expected peak and trough binding activities for ranibizumab, bevacizumab, and VTE were calculated. Dosing every 2 weeks was performed on selected patients who had a poor response to monthly therapy.
Results: Dosing of a drug every 2 weeks resulted in markedly improved trough binding activity, but had little impact on the peak binding activity when calculated through Day 28. The dosing of bevacizumab every 2 weeks resulted in trough binding levels that were superior to monthly dosing with ranibizumab at a dose of 0.5 mg and potentially superior to the levels achieved when ranibizumab was dosed monthly at a dose of 2.0 mg. The VTE displayed superior binding levels for both peak and trough levels even when compared with ranibizumab doses given every 2 weeks. Two case reports demonstrate the clinical usefulness of dosing with anti-VEGF therapy every 2 weeks in eyes with VEGF-dependent macular fluid appearing to be refractory to monthly dosing.
Conclusion: The theoretical increase in trough binding levels when anti-VEGF drugs are dosed every 2 weeks most likely explains the clinical benefit observed in patients who received biweekly injections after their poor response to monthly therapy. The short-term use of biweekly dosing may be an attractive treatment option for those eyes that show a treatment response within 2 weeks of an injection, but rebound with increased macular fluid after a month. In the future, VTE should provide higher trough levels of anti-VEGF binding activity and eliminate the need for biweekly dosing in those eyes with VEGF-mediated exudation that appear unresponsive to monthly ranibizumab or bevacizumab.

An Egyptian jihad leader, with self-professed links to the Taliban, called for the destruction of the Sphinx and the Giza Pyramids in Egypt, drawing ties between the Egyptian relics and Buddha statues, local media reported this week.
Murgan Salem al-Gohary, an Islamist leader twice-sentenced under former President Hosni Mubarak for advocating violence, called on Muslims to remove such idols.
All Muslims are charged with applying the teachings of Islam to remove such idols, as we did in Afghanistan when we destroyed the Buddha statues, he said on Saturday during a television interview on an Egyptian private channel, widely watched by Egyptian and Arab audiences.God ordered Prophet Mohammed to destroy idols, he added. When I was with the Taliban we destroyed the statue of Buddha, something the government failed to do.
His comments came a day after thousands of ultraconservative Islamists gathered in Tahrir Square to call for the strict application of Sharia law in the new constitution.But in retaliation to Goharys remarks, the vice president of Tunisias Ennahda party, Sheikh Abdel Fattah Moro, called the live program and told Gohary that famous historic military commander Amr ibn al-Aas did not destroy statues when he conquered Egypt.So who are you to do it? he wondered. The Prophet destroyed the idols because people worshiped them, but the Sphinx and the Pyramids are not worshiped.Gohary, 50, is well-known in Egypt for his advocacy of violence, Egypt Independent reported.He was sentenced twice, one of the two sentences being life imprisonment. He subsequently fled Egypt to Afghanistan, where he was badly injured in the American invasion. In 2007, he traveled from Pakistan to Syria, which then handed him over to Egypt. After Mubarak's fall in early 2011, he was released from prison by a judicial ruling, the newspaper added.In recent months, fears have surfaced that the ultra-conservative Salafi political powers may soon wish to debate new guidelines over Egyptian antiquities.


text: Hammonton was settled by William Coffin in 1812. It was situated strategically between the shipbuilding center of Mays Landing and the iron towns of Weymouth and Batsto. The economy fi rst centered around the sawmill and glassworks established by Coffin, but since the early 1800s, its roots have been agricultural in nature (with all puns intended). The infl ux of Italian immigrants, many from one town of Gesso, Sicily, supported the agrarian base with hard work and a family atmosphere. As a matter of fact, according to the latest U.S. Census, Hammonton is the U.S. municipality with the largest concentration of Italians. More than 54 percent of Hammontons 12,604 residents call themselves Italian. Thats the largest concentration of any place in the nation with more than 1,000 people, just ahead of Johnston, Rhode Island; East Haven, Connecticut; Rosetto, Pennsylvania: and Frankfort, New York. Hammonton, which was originally spelled Hammondton, offi cially broke away from Mullica Township in 1866. Its current nickname Blueberry Capital of the World is emblazoned upon billboards as you enter town and blueberries adorn many logos and signs throughout town however, at one time, it was also known as Peach City.

Dear reader and followers,
we are starting this new channel focusing on the Uk market, in particular we will keep you updated on the FTSE100.
We will publish suggestion for trading signals based on one of our Trading System that we currently run on our servers to trade the market. Since the system is quite conservative, thus we have few trades per year per symbol, i decided to apply it on the whole market in order to increase the trade ratio over the trading period.
We will publish the signals as soon as they are generated by the system along witha visual rap presentation on a chart. Notice that on the chart we plot daily bars but some of the Open and Close conditions of the system are based on a higher time frame, the weekly one.
During flats period, or significant market movements we will make some analysis and we will go in deep in any topics you prefer. In fact i get the chance to remember you that you can always contact me for any further information or detail.
I wish you good luck,

A new tool in the fight against bee parasite
BBSRC-funded scientists at Rothamsted Research have made a discovery which could help in the fight against the parasitic Varroa mite, which is devastating to bee colonies. They have developed a test for the detection and management of resistance to an insecticide used to treat Varroa-infected honey bee hives.
There has been a significant decline in European honey bee colony numbers over recent years and hive infestations of the mite, Varroa destructor, are an important factor in contributing to this decline. One of the most effective treatments for removing the mites from a hive is the use of selective pyrethroid insecticides that are highly toxic to the mites, but safe for use with bees.
The intensive use of these compounds over the years has led to widespread resistance in Varroa populations, greatly reducing their effectiveness. Rothamsted Research scientists, who are strategically funded by BBSRC, have now identified the genetic change that causes this resistance in UK mite populations. They have also developed a diagnostic test that allows rapid monitoring of the frequency of resistant mites within individual infected bee hives. The test provides an accurate measure of resistance within Varroa-infected hives before treatment and hence it enables informed decisions of the likely effectiveness of the available treatments. The study is published today in the journal PLOS ONE.
The diagnostic test that Dr González-Cabrera and his colleagues have developed enables individual mites to be analysed quickly and accurately for the presence or absence of the mutation. The test is robust and can be applied to live or dead individual mites making it easy to assess the frequency of the mutation in infected hives by taking the debris from the hive and simply separating out the mites. Initial results using the test have shown that the mutation is only present at high frequency within hives that have a recent history of pyrethroid treatment. This indicates that the resistance mechanism is less frequent and widespread within Varroa infected hives than is generally thought. Therefore, by carefully monitoring the distribution and frequency of the mutation in local Varroa populations using the diagnostic test, it should be possible to develop a pro-active resistance management programme. Such programme could involve rotation of different products (including pyrethroids) aimed at maintaining a more effective control of this highly damaging pest.
Professor Lin Field, Head of Biological Chemistry and Crop Protection at Rothamsted Research, said: "Given that honeybees are an essential component of the nation's biodiversity and contribute to food security by pollinating some crops, it is vital that we identify the best possible management strategies of the Varroa mite. Our work contributes new tools in order to effectively manage the health and abundance of bee colonies".

It may hard to believe with today's Big Ten style of play, but this conference has produced some quality NFL starting quarterbacks. This is somewhat surprising when you consider that the Big Ten has earned the reputation of being an old school conference that prefers to run the ball and wear the opposing defense down.
Some of the best quarterbacks to ever play have come from Big Ten schools. There are a couple of Hall of Famers on this list, as well as two guys who will be giving a Hall of Fame speech once they retire. There are also a few guys who were slightly underrated during their NFL playing days.
The list of successful quarterbacks from this conference is much better than the running back position has provided.

Interview With Paul Reiser, Star Of 'The Paul Reiser Show'
Paul Reiser hasn't been on television in a while. That's the case in real life, and it's also the case on Reiser's new NBC sitcom, "The Paul Reiser Show," which the actor co-wrote and produced. Like a diet version of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Paul Reiser Show" follows a fictionalized version of Reiser's life 11 years after the end of his star making role in "Mad About You." Struggling with his fading celebrity and with a wealth of free time, Reiser spends his days wrestling with his kids' school projects, hanging out with a disparate group of chuckleheads that he calls his friends, and trying to figure out if there's another project out there that can spark his interest. Reiser recently sat with a bevy of reporters, including Starpulse, and took questions about his life outside of the spotlight, the genesis of his new show and shooting a scene with Larry David.
On Developing "The Paul Reiser Show:"
"I wasn't at all looking for it, there was no design and this came about, to be honest, a very nice executive over at Warner Brothers called and said I want to sit down and talk to you about something… I didn't know what it was and then when I sat down he said "We'd like you to develop something for you and we want you to be back on TV" and I went "Why?..."
There are people who want that sort of, you know, his words were saying "your sort of adult, smart, heart-felt comedy," and I said "Well, I'm really kind of enjoying staying home with the kids," and geez when you do a TV show you have to really wake up early and everything and work hard and - but it was, you know, I'm nothing if not susceptible to flattery and nice things.
So he said "Why don't you go write something that you feel like writing and let's see what happens," and I went away and this show came out of it. And I didn't know what it was going to be, to be honest, and I just wrote my life and when it was done I thought this was really fun, this would be a fun show to watch for me and I know people would watch this and I felt like this is a good way for me to do my comedy.
And having the 10/11 years not being out there really was something I wanted and as it turns out it kind of very much gave me the genesis for what the show because that I wouldn't have known. You know, if you put a gun to my head three, four, five years ago I wouldn't have been able to come up with the show but because I was really living that life of not being out there and being a guy who used to be on TV and being a guy whose job and daily life is, you know, taking the kids to school and putting out the little domestic fires, not literally. That suddenly when I started to look at it, I thought that's actually very rich and very universal. So the timing just seemed right."
At its core, the show shares many similarities with "Mad About You," with some key differences. Reiser explains:
"One of the premises of the show is sort of that when you're a father of kids -- I find most guys have backed me up on this -- that you realize your friends are not people of your own choosing, that your friends are all fathers of your kids' friends or husbands of your wife's friends, and in my case this has certainly been true. And I have this world of friends that I look around and go "How did I get these people?"
He continues:
"One of the things that's really fun about this is this show to me is everything that "Mad About You" had and then so much more. I mean at the heart of it, it starts, you know, it's really based on my life, and my life starts with my family and that is the priority so it always comes down to… "Well, here's what's going on in the home and here's what's going on with my wife and my kids." But you rarely see the kids in the show. They inform the show and you're doing things and you're running around doing stuff for your kids, but you're not going to see them much by design.
… There's a lot of great stories of husband and wife stuff but they really serve to sort of ground the other stories. I think the kick-off for all the stories is about the guys, and that's an element we didn't have in "Mad About You." That is so fun to explore this, and it was not really part of my life 15 years ago and now it is and now I have this group of guy friends that you suddenly find yourself, you know, driving to Disneyland with these two guys for three hours so, okay, this is my life now."
When filming his new sitcom, Reiser not only pulled from his experience working on Mad About You, he also pulled from a pool of familiar directing talent, including "Mad" co-star Helen Hunt, and "Diner" buddy Daniel Stern:
"[After] seven years of "Mad About You" I learned what worked for me, and I learned what works and what doesn't work, and going into this it was very much - there were certain decisions. I just knew I wanted to make it a certain style and I wanted - sometimes just the way you structure the work day. I mean I knew I wanted this to be surrounded by friends and… I called friends that are directors.
Helen Hunt was the first director I called, and Daniel Stern is an old friend and Bryan Gordon… It's just a very sane, you know, at this point everybody wants to - you know you want to do your work but you want to get home, it's - I think gone are the days where people say let's hang out until three in the morning and eat Chinese food and never see our families. I think people want to get home and have a life as well as do a show, so it's really been run very efficiently and that was very much by design."
He also talked briefly about his preferred method of shooting single camera:
"I always wanted to do single camera. Even when we did "Mad About You" I originally pitched it as a single camera, which they didn't do back then, and it has come into play. You know, as fun as it was to have a live audience, I never really felt that comfortable with it. I love it when I do stand-up, it's great to have an audience, but I always felt that when doing a show it kind of distracted me a bit and this feels just perfect and right and it has a much more real life quality which is what the show is really about."
Reiser also spoke briefly about the parallels between his TV family and his real family:
"On a good day they're very tickled; on the other days they're going "Why did you tell them that?" But you know what, my brilliant [writing] partner Jonathan Shapiro is - he's putting his family in there too and one of the great things about having a partner is you get to hide behind the other guy and go "Honey, that was really more his wife." So we feel that enough names have been changed to protect the guilty."
Comparisons between Reiser's new show and Larry David's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" are inescapable, seemingly in anticipation of that, Reiser had David appear as himself on the show's first episode. He elaborates:
"I called Larry and I said "I'm sure you're not going to want to do this, but we wrote this part for you, you've got to do it," and he was so gracious, he says, "Here's the thing, I don't like to memorize scripts so we'll improvise it"and I said done, let's do that.
And I got very nervous, to be honest with you, because he's brilliant, he has developed that art form and he's just really a genius and I felt when we did that scene I felt like I was getting into the rink with Ali. I went "Let me just keep running around and hopefully I won't get hurt." And it was a two-minute scene and we have 45 minutes of tape because he was no brilliantly funny. That was the longest most challenging editing thing was getting Larry down to the time we had allotted on the show.
But he was so great and somebody had said early on "Well, this show, Paul, it's sort of like your 'Curb.'" And I went yes, that's fair, and it's a very different feel, but yes in that I'm playing me and Larry plays himself and so on. So that we improvised that scene, and when Larry says to me "Hey Paul, you know what you should do? You should do your own version of my show, a 'Curb,'" I went - my head kind of exploded, frankly, because I go if he were actually filming my show and you're telling me that.
And, you know, my friends, I have a friend who constantly rides me, he goes "You come off as Mr. Nice Guy on TV, you're Mr. Sweet, Nice Guy, but I know you, you're not that nice." And I go "I know that, but America doesn't know that."
So we got to do that in the scene really made me laugh and Larry David of all people saying you're so much worse than me, that made me laugh, to be honest, that's my favorite joke in the whole show."
Since the end of "Mad About You," Reiser kept mostly out of the spotlight, but worked on several pilots as a producer. He elaborates:
"I got to do a lot of stuff, I wasn't just really sitting staring into space. And I had written and developed--written and produced-- a bunch of pilots, about six pilots, that I was not acting in. So I was certainly keeping active and creative, but I wasn't at all looking to be on TV, I really wasn't. And I wasn't fighting it either, it just didn't come up.
… There are one or two [pilots] that I would still like to do, you know, and produce. There was one that we did which was called "The Ripple Effect," and it was about how unrelated people affect each other's lives. But it was done in a very funny and sometimes dramatic way that, you know, you're in a bad mood and you and somebody says something to you so you get in your car and now you're angry and you hit somebody and that affects seven other people and at the heart of it was this element - this very global conceit that we are indeed all connected and you never know how and, yes, it was a little like Babel, but funnier and shorter."
NBC's 8:30 Thursday night timeslot has had trouble in the past, and as a producer, Reiser reveals some light on the pressure to find a big audience instantly despite an impatient network:
"One of the things about TV and launching a new TV show that is the trick is everybody wants you to be a hit right away, you know? And you have to come out with huge numbers, and I have never felt that I could do that with anything. I don't think that I'm going to - you know, I'm not reinventing the wheel here and I don't think - and this show was kind of thrown [out] suddenly, very quickly and I don't expect that we're going to come out and we're going to beat "American Idol." We're not that show. But I do know that this is the show that week after week will build and people will, you know, if given it's chance, and people leave it in its spot, which is something networks don't like to do, but I'm tremendously confident that if you just put this on and leave it, there will be a huge audience that will find it and it won't be 200 million people, but there will be many, many people who will be drawn to the show and so I can't wait for it to get on the air."
"The Paul Reiser Show" premieres Thurs. Apr. 12 at 8:30 on NBC.

They brought work with Hubert Humphrey through two national campaigns and his vice presidency, and during the Johnson administration's Great Society triumph and Vietnam tragedy. As 1963 ended, I had never met Humphrey, my boyhood hero and now ...

Now, more than forty years after the Johnson-Humphrey campaign, Medicare, Medicaid, the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts, federal aid to education, efforts to stop nuclear proliferation, and consumer protections are considered "givens" in our national life. But in the early 1960s they were not. Advocates of these causes had fought for them throughout the postwar ...

Despite his public and private vows of restraint in Vietnam, Johnson had used an ambiguous encounter in the summer of 1964 between U.S. and North Vietnamese vessels in the Tonkin Gulf to gain passage of a Tonkin Gulf Resolution in the U.S.Senate. The resolution gave Johnson broad authority in conduct of the war. Floor manager for the resolution was Foreign Relations Committee ...

Both public and internal pressures were driving Johnson toward a reexamination of Vietnam policy. The events we associate with 1968 really began in the middle of 1967. Johnson received word that the federal budget deficit would be $28 billion, about twice that predicted only six months earlier. Johnson could not continue to wage war and also maintain the Great Society without seeking ...

The Humphrey-Muskie campaign spent the first part of September 1968 pulling the Democratic Party together.

Had we known what would happen during the Nixon presidency, I am certain that Johnson, Humphrey, McCarthy, the Kennedys, and all Democrats involved in the 1968 election would have made whatever extra effort was necessary to win the presidency for Humphrey.

To those of us active in national politics during the 1960s and 1970s, it seemed incredible that Richard Nixon had rebounded from a presidential-election loss, a humiliating California gubernatorial-election loss, Watergate, and Vietnam to be twice elected president. Yet, if Albert Camus' remark that "character is fate" ever was to have relevance, it certainly came to apply to Nixon, whose feelings ...

President Bush the elder, succeeding President Reagan in January 1989, was in the difficult position of not only following a popular president but also having to clean up the debt burden his predecessor had created.

The president's 1996 reelection campaign against Senator Bob Dole was a mismatch. Clinton was the younger and more aggressive and articulate candidate.

The presidency of Bush the younger was to be one of "compassionate conservatism" and incremental domestic reform, led by a former Texas governor who had reached across party lines to govern successfully in his home state.

If you are reading this then you must have already recognized that there is more to cornering a motorcycle than you have already gained from experience or practise.
Often a rider will think that practise is the answer to their cornering issues, road or track.
The trouble with this plan, is what do you practise? Do you practise the same mistakes over and over? If you don't know what to practise it can ultimately be a costly series of trial and error. Some riders learn quickly using this method but most of us have neither the budget or the bones to follow this path.
So what do you do now? Well the paths open to road riders are limited here in the GCC at the moment, there is no real road training other than the experience you gain, but you are looking for an improvement so this is good!
On track days it's harder still. You can get towed around by an "instructor" who can "show you the line". But this is a step in the right direction, you have asked for someone to help you improve or have shown a willingness to have more fun!
If you race there are a number of people you can call upon, your team, your manager and your competitors. But how many of these people are trained and specialized in cornering – the very place where you are losing time?
Ask yourself these questions:
We know the reasons why you are being held back!
We have the answers to those "why is he better/faster/smoother than me?" questions. We have the skills in coaching to make a REAL difference, in any corner, at any speed, anywhere, road or track. We don't have any magic "go faster" fairy dust, no magic wand, no tricks or tips. There is no fast track to better cornering. What there is, is a sound, proven series of techniques to help you get the best from yourself and your bike. All we need is a commitment, a willingness to learn and we WILL make your cornering better – as to which thousands of our students will attest.
So what are you waiting for?

Loc: New York City
Among the monuments left to photograph, the Empire State Building stands tall. But if you do stop to take a picture of it, you may notice something different near the top. The ring of twinkling lights is gone from the observation deck: there are no tourists there photographing you. The building has been left unilluminated at night since, I dont even remember when it was, Monday? It would almost be comforting to suppose it were a sign of mourning, but one has to think it is a question of defense.
In the park are those who point it out on this second of loveliest daysbut not many, it is relatively quiet in Midtownthis last and longest standing of rivalrous siblings. And where are they, all those hordes of visitors? Not on the streets. But there has been no egress from a newly sober Gotham. Ninth wonder of the world this, the withdrawal of the polyglot throng.
Most do not look long at the building, though. They prefer their books, a hand around their coffee, an arm around their love. Different sorts of comfort in the spectrum of that emotional intensity through which we pass in the course of a normal day. These comforts carry new meaning, now, in the very fact of their belonging to that spectrum. More than simple reminiscences of the ordinary, they are theonly seeminglytentative taproots of imperative life.
And people do watch the building; I am sure, it is as a signal of that life.
Tomorrow, the Stock Exchange will reopen. The first one or two are bound to be madhouse days. Then things will settle into a semblance of the ordinary. For weeks, the invisible hand will play the shell game of prosperity or want beside a now workman-like search for bodies, evidence, the excavation of rubble. For years, if we are fortunate enough to have them left to number, the business community will work beside the terrible void in the skyline.
It will take more than good fortune, but diligence with which the ordinary will never again be quite so ordinary. And that is where I take heart in the 65% figure. It is not, for example, the resounding and nearly entire bigotry that met Al Smith when he campaigned against Hoover beyond the North East.
As a city, New York is far from innocent. We have been slavers. We have preached, from cloistered vantages, against almost every religion and ethnicity. But we have also welcomed themourselves. And if that welcome has often been exploitative, so, too, has it often been heartfelt. Queens, where Helen lives, is the most ethnically diverse landscape in the world.
In the course of my lifetime I have witnessed how, from some of the crimes we, as a nation, have perpetrated, we have begun to acquire a new sense of justice. Had Maverick not subjected the statistic to a sleight of handthat is, were it even an authentic figure concerning an out and out call to violence, I would still find reason to take some sort of comfort in it. It is not 95%. And if we have learned so much as to quiet the call for blood that much, perhaps not all hope is lost.

March 10, 2013
TO: Area News Media
FROM: Captain Jack Dykstra, Holland Department of Public Safety Public Information Officer
REF: Missing Person – Emelene Joy VanDyke, 36 year old female
March 10, 2013 2135 hours – UPDATED INFORMATION
Holland Police were advised this afternoon by the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) that a vehicle matching the plate number entered into a national database had been scanned by a stationary unmanned license plate reader (LPR) on US-70 near Alamagordo, New Mexico at 1552 hrs this afternoon.
Law enforcement agencies in that region and the surrounding states was notified to locate and check well being of the occupants of the vehicle however at this time the vehicle has not been located.
Since that information was obtained a request for photos to confirm the plate was on Emelene VanDyke's vehicle, the Hyundai Accent and police obtained those photos. They are not being released at this time however initial indications are that the vehicle in fact the Hyundai Accent and the white female driving appears to resemble Emelene VanDyke. It also appears that she is alone in the vehicle.
Further efforts to locate Emelene will be increased and focused on this area with the hopes of reuniting her with her family. Further information will be released later as information develops. Police have notified Emelene VanDyke's family of this documented sighting.
March 4, 2013 1430 hours – UPDATED INFORMATION
Detectives conducted several search warrants for various records and locations and conducted several interviews to determine what led up to the disappearance of Emelene VanDyke.
Investigators determined that several items associated with camping are missing from Emelene's home including a tent, sleeping bag and other miscellaneous camping gear. Through debit card transactions made before her disappearance detectives found she had purchased additional items that support she may have been planning to go camping.
Since the date Emelene VanDyke left there have been no sightings or locations where Emelene was seen. Police are reviewing past history and again asking for the public to contact us if they have seen her oir have any additional information on where she might be. There is still no known connection or relationship between Fred Byrne's disappearance and Emelene VanDyke's eith other than that they occurred within two days of each other in the Holland area.
2-22-13 1229 hrs - Holland Department of Public Safety is asking the public for help in locating 36 year old Holland woman Emelene Joy VanDyke. Emelene has been missing from her home in the 500 block of College Avenue in Holland since leaving for an apparent "retreat", possibly in the Traverse City area on the weekend after February 14, 2013.
Emelene was last seen by her neighbor and last heard from after sending a text message at approximately 6 p.m. on February 14 after she purchased a new car from a local car dealership and withdrew a significant amount of money from her bank.
In all surveillance photos reviewed Emelene appears to be alone and there was no indication from anyone that spoke to her that she was under any duress or acting suspicious.
Investigators are concerned about her well being because her cell phone and debit card has not been used since the 14th of February. She had taken scheduled time off from her work and was due back in to come work on the February 19th but she did not show up. Emelene's employer contacted her ex husband, who has legal custody of her 3 children, to report that she did not come into work which is very unusual. Emelene's ex-husband reported her immediately as missing to police on February 19th.
Emelene was last seen driving the new car she purchased a gray, 4D, 2013 Hyundai Accent (very similar vehicle photo attached) bearing Michigan license plate CGE1862. Emelene has sandy blonde hair and hazel colored eyes is approximately 5' 7" in height and approximately 200 lbs. (see photo attached)
Anyone who has information about this case is urged to contact the Holland Department of Public Safety at (616) 355-1100 or the detectives at 355-1150. Persons also may email investigators at email@example.com. For persons wishing to remain anonymous they may call Silent Observer at 1-877-887-4536 or they may visit the SO website at http://mosotips.com to submit an e-tip.

I love a bit of Andy Warhol, and I love a bit of NARS. So I was pretty thrilled when it was announced that the two were to collaborate for a collection. I bought a highlighter (which I'll be posting about very soon!) and more recently this set, as I just couldn't resist. Inspired by the look of Warhol's muse and sixties It Girl Edie Sedgwick, this set is beautifully presented in a 16mm film canister (which is authentic, by the way!). Onto the contents!
The set contains a Pure Matte Lipstick in shade 'Film Star' (which is a new colour but I'm not sure if you can purchase it seperately). I expected it to be really drying but as long as your lips are in good condition it's easy to work with. I generally use a little lipbalm before applying pale shades like this anyway just to avoid any appearance of dryness.
The eyeshadow in the shade 'Edie' is a new slightly shimmery cream shade which is also available to buy separately. This has actually taken place of any other shadows recently as it's portable and easy to wear with anything. I don't suppose it really shows up to anyone but myself but I love it since it creates a clean base. Perfect!
The Eyeliner Stylo in 'Carpates' (that translates as black to me and you) is easy to use and a nice, intense black which is pretty much all I look for in a good eyeliner. Seems to be long wearing too so no quibbles here.
Finally, the set comes with a blush duo of Deep Throat (which I've reviewed before here) and Amour, a deeper peachy pink shade. The two work really well together as one is a matte and the other has a touch of shimmer. I like to swirl my brush around the both of them and lightly apply as Amour is very pigmented so it's easy to overdo it!
I'm so pleased I took the plunge and bought this since I honestly will get use from every product. It's good value too since you're saving around £30. Perfect present for a very special person.. yourself included. Love it love it love it!
Are you a NARS fan? Has anything from the Andy Warhol collection tickled your fancy?
