Natural honey supports a colony's immune system, but replacing it with GMO-based corn syrup just adds insult to injury, lowering their defences against the pesticide cocktail they bring in with the pollen. I'm sticking to honey food stores in the winter for now. Let's see how I do.

It will be late tomorrow at the earliest that a decision on Fix's immediate racing campaign will be made.
Owner Gary Harding and trainers Bev and Ken Kelso are at a tricky crossroad after Fix's gallant victory in Saturday's $100,000 Cambridge Stud Sir Tristram Fillies Classic at Te Rapa.
It comes down to the choice of whether Fix goes forward to the Oaks at Trentham, a race which could have a powerful influence on the Filly Of The Year series.
Fix leads the series after Saturday, but Soriano, which finished second to her, can leapfrog Fix if she wins the Oaks.
"There are a number of things we have to weigh up," said Ken Kelso yesterday.
"Obviously the series is a big part of that."
The Kelsos and Harding are sharing lunch tomorrow, when a decision will be made.
An interesting part of the equation is whether Fix will cope with the step from Saturday's 2000m to the 2400m of the Oaks.
Watching the race live on Saturday, it appeared Fix was running on empty from the 175m and that she bravely held the opposition at bay.
After several replays of the finish it's easier to believe that even if Fix was doing her best, she was still comfortably holding the others.
Rider Vinny Colgan had a slight change of position.
Initially he said: "At the 200m I was waiting for something to run past her."
Later he said: "I didn't have to really punish her to get there."
If the connections decide the 2400m won't be an issue there is always the option to pay a late entry fee into the Derby at Ellerslie, for which Fix was not an original entry.
"One thing is for sure," said Ken Kelso, "she won't be running in the Lowland Stakes."
According to the trainers, Fix came through what looked to be a tough race in exceptional order.
"She ate up beautifully last night and was looking for her breakfast this morning. She's as bright as anything."
The Kelsos did a magnificent job picking Fix up after her tough winning run in the Royal Stakes at Ellerslie - she looked in truly wonderful condition in the parade on Saturday.
Co-trainer Graeme Rogerson was typically upbeat after Soriano's second.
"She'll beat the colts out of sight in the Derby," he said.
Sioriano is likely to contest the Oaks and the Derby.
Third-placed More Than Sacred will now head to the Oaks, according to co-trainer Tony Pike.
"We hadn't seriously considered it before, but she sat three wide in that race and still fought on so she's going to see out the 2400m at Trentham."

Barcelona, SPAIN – High level meetings between Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker and senior officials of Catalonia have taken place in Barcelona on the back of yesterday's announcement that the airline is to be a strategic partner of football giants FC Barcelona.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker, top left, in discussion with the President of Catalonia, the Honourable Mr. Artur Mas in Barcelona. The meeting was also attended by airline management, FC Barcelona VP Economy & Strategy, Javier Faus and Director of Marketing and Communications for Qatar 2022, Nasser Al-Khater following the carrier's announcement of a three-year partnership with football giants FC Barcelona.
Al Baker met with the President of Catalonia, the Honourable Artur Mas, and Mayor of Barcelona, the Honourable Xavier Trias, to discuss new trade, business and investment opportunities.
During the courtesy visits, Al Baker said that the airline planned to further expand its operations in Barcelona – the Catalonian capital – from the current 10 flights each week to double daily, helping boosting trade and business links between the State of Qatar and Catalonia.
"Extra frequencies would be a tremendous boost to the economy of Barcelona and the surrounding areas, helping create new jobs and also bring more tourists to this fabulous city," commented Al Baker afterwards.
"When Qatar Airways launched flights to Barcelona in June 2010, we started off with daily services using narrow-body aircraft, gradually increasing to larger planes offering twice as much capacity. And we then improved capacity further to the current 10-flights-a-week, which clearly shows our commitment to Barcelona and Catalonia as a whole.
Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker presents crystal oryx gift to the President of Catalonia, the Honourable Mr. Artur Mas.
"Qatar Airways looks forward to working with FC Barcelona through our new strategic partnership that starts this summer, giving us even more opportunities to connect the loyal fan base of Barca in Catalonia and millions of the club's fans around the world."
Both the President of Catalonia and Mayor of Barcelona expressed their excitement about the partnership between Qatar Airways and FC Barcelona, bringing in great benefits to the renowned football club and Catalan region.
They were also delighted to hear Qatar Airways' plans to increase capacity to Barcelona as the new services would benefit the people of Catalonia, helping create more jobs in the process.
Qatar Airways offers travellers from Barcelona an exciting network of destinations to fly to, to cities across the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific via its Doha hub. The airline operates a modern fleet of 121 aircraft to over 125 destinations globally, including destinations in Europe, North America and South America.
In addition, Qatar Airways operates daily non-stop flights between Spain's capital city Madrid and Doha.
Over the next few weeks and months, Qatar Airways will launch scheduled flights to a diverse portfolio of new routes, including Chicago, USA (April 10); Salalah, Oman (May 22); Chengdu, China, at a date to be confirmed, and many more start-ups to be announced.
Qatar Airways currently has orders worth over US$50 billion for more than 250 aircraft, including Boeing 787s, 777s, Airbus A350s, A380s and A320 Family of aircraft. In addition to winning Skytrax's prestigious Airline of the Year 2011 and 2012, Qatar Airways was named Best Airline in the Middle East for the seventh year in a row, and its Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport was named Best Premium Service Airport for the second consecutive year in 2012. Skytrax is the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and is considered the ultimate benchmark for excellence in the airline industry. In October 2012, Qatar Airways became the first of the major Gulf carriers to officially announce plans to join a global alliance having been invited into the oneworld group.

Sandy demands resources, tests the nerves of travelers in El Paso
El Paso, Texas - Sandy touched down near Atlantic City, N.J. Monday evening as a post-tropical cyclone instead of a hurricane. Despite its reclassification, the superstorm is already demanding resources and testing the nerves of travelers thousands of miles away, in El Paso.
UTEP student Lanre Tanimola and his brother were flying into El Paso from Philadelphia when they got stranded. Tanimola blames Sandy. "Because of the hurricane they had to delay the flight from Philadelphia," said Tanimola. "We got to Dallas late that night and we couldn't get another flight to El Paso, so we had to wait until today."
A few flights through El Paso International Airport were delayed as of Monday evening, including flight from Dalllas Fort Worth carrying Tanimola and his brother. Tanimola said even though he arrived in El Paso later than expected, he's happy to be home.
The 95 scheduled Monday departures from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport that were canceled amounted to fewer than 20 percent of the day's schedule. DFW spokeswoman Sarah McDaniel said 93 scheduled arrivals also were canceled.
The cancellations involved flights from and to Eastern Seaboard airports from Washington to Boston.
Major carriers such as American Airlines, United and Delta canceled all flights into and out of three area airports in New York, the nation's busiest airspace. According to the flight-tracking service FlightAware, nearly 10,000 flights have been canceled for today and tomorrow, almost all related to the storm.
"The effects are going to be lingering for weeks," said El Paso Red Cross Executive Director Mark Matthys. "We're hearing it could take a month for that area to recover."
Matthys said the El Paso Area Red Cross will be sending volunteers to help provide relief from the superstorm, adding to more than 1,000 Red Cross disaster workers from all over the country who've already been dispatched to storm-ravaged portions of the East Coast.
Sunday night, thousands of people stayed over in 112 Red Cross shelters from Maryland all the way up to Massachusetts. Matthys said depending on the storm's severity, El Paso could end up sending two or three waves of volunteers over the coming weeks.
"It's a very expensive operation; we're spending a lot of money for food and to operate the shelters," said Matthys. "It's being paid for by good-hearted people like you and me, through donations."
Monday afternoon, El Paso Electric announced they had received a request to send crews to help in the restoration of power in the wake of Hurricane Sandy and the northeast storms.
According to a news release, El Paso Electric is making preparations to send three crews, approximately 17 people, in addition to bucket trucks, boom trucks and other equipment to assist Baltimore Gas and Electric. The company serves approximately 1.2 million electric customers in a 2,300-square-mile area encompassing Baltimore City and all or part of 10 Central Maryland counties.

Reviews of this property
The room is very clean , but the information are not the same that are writen here, because you can't have shower in morning , and here is writen that is before at 11 pm also at 10 in the morning you have to go outside to leave the house and this is not writen , if you are thinking to go out during nighy is not a good place at first to come back with a bus it needs hours and you have to wake up early and also nobody cares that you are sleeping but are making in the way to wake you up ,
that was at all nice at for me was at all a good stay because it is not nice at all to say to the person that are paying for the stay and are respectfull to your rules that you change rules how you like .
If you want to make money and rent your room and you don't want people at home ( and i was using only my room , not other spaces )i think is not the way at all.
Also is more than a week and the description is still not changed .
Paula was an excellent hostess. She explained all the things that we needed when we arrived. Moreover she was really kind because she gave us extra information about the city, public transport and interesting places to visit. The room and the toilet were very clean and tidy and the breakfast that she offers is perfect for starting the day with energy. The house is really lovely and it has a lovely decoration. I would like to recommend this nice, peaceful and clean place for a future guests, and if I ever go again to London I know a beautiful place to stay! =)
I was very welcomed by Paula and her husband, David, it was a lovely home and I would definately stay there again.
My stay at Paula was very nice. She and her husband were really nice and helpful. It was all very clean. Any time. Many Thanks.
Mein Aufenthalt bei Paula war sehr schön. Sie und ihr Mann waren wirklich sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Es war alles sehr sauber . Jeder Zeit wieder. Vielen Dank.
Paula was a lovely host with a loving and responsible family. I had a good stay and felt quite safe in the house. The room is as advertised, clean and functional. Highly recommended.
I stayed with David and Paula for 2 weeks and must admit I've rarely met such relaxed, kind and forthcoming hosts. It felt more like some sort of home instead of a b&b - If you wanted to chat, there was time for that - and if you wanted to be on your own, that was respected as well. While I was there, 2 young Southamericans arrived and it was absolutely thouching to see how much they helped them since they knew little about Europe. Being familiar with London I managed on my own - but did I have doubts about anything they were there.
More hosts like them! :-)
I felt very comfortable at Paula´s home. The room was nice and clean with view to the garden. It´s very near to the train station and in 20 minutes I was in the city center. There are often other guests as well but everyone was friendly and considerate. Paula is a great host and I can absolutely recommend to stay at hers.
Reviews for this host's other properties
Very lovely house just 20 minutes far from the Centre on London. Just 5 min walk to Grove Park train station.

Thank you again!

The 10th anniversary Rhythm and Vines music festival lived up to expectations as 30,000 people welcomed 2013 with fireworks - eventually - at the biggest New Year event in the country.
The impressive music line-up was a reward for many who had travelled the distance to Gisborne, with 8000 people camping on-site and a further 14,000 at Baywatch campgrounds.
Kiwi darling Ruby Frost took the Rhythm stage early on the final evening, impressing the crowds with a range of electric pop ballads in a silver space suit.
The 25-year-old said this was the third time she had played at Rhythm and Vines and the festival had become part of her summer ritual.
"The first time we played we camped out here. The festival has really helped me grow musically, allowing better time slots for people to hear the music.''
Another relatively-unknown act with a couple of well-known fashion labels behind them impressed crowds at the more intimate Cellar stage on New Year's Eve.
Huffer fashion director Steve Dunstan and Stolen Girlfriend's Club director Marc Moore make up the DJ set People of Paris.
Gisborne band Fighting Like Stags took the Jager stage before the countdown to a largely local crowd who came out in force to support their own.
Headline act The Presets were a magnet for festival-goers as they played a DJ set that got the crowds ready for the countdown to 2013 and set to watch an impressive fireworks display light up Waiohika Estate.
The display went off seven minutes after the clock struck 12, leaving crowds waiting until it was finally ignited in an impressive display - Bringing Rhythm and Vines to an end for another year.
Organisers are blaming the delay on a technical glitch.

Pluripotent stem cells, those cells capable of transforming into any type of tissue in the human body, hold the key to one of science's biggest challenges: the formation of new blood vessels.
Researchers in the laboratory of Sharon Gerecht, associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, have demonstrated a method that causes these powerful cells to form a fresh network of blood vessels when transplanted in mice. Shawna Williams, writer at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, reports here on this new research, which was published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. You can find the article here.
Here's a comment from Gerecht, who is affiliated with both Johns Hopkins Physical Sciences–Oncology Center and Institute for NanoBioTechnology:
"In demonstrating the ability to rebuild a microvascular bed in a clinically relevant manner, we have made an important step toward the construction of blood vessels for therapeutic use … Our findings could yield more effective treatments for patients afflicted with burns, diabetic complications and other conditions in which vasculature function is compromised."
The Gerecht lab, in collaboration with researchers at the School of Medicine, has been working on this puzzle for some time. One important stride in this current work is that the vessels are forming and persisting in a living animal and not just in a culture in a flask.
Says lead author and doctoral student in biomedical engineering, Sravanti Kusuma:
"That these vessels survive and function inside a living animal is a crucial step in getting them to medical application."
You can read about some of the Gerecht lab's previous findings in this particular pursuit in the articles listed below:

|Original Source Summary
|A comparison between the Hesquiat and Tsimishian Indian tribes of British Columbia, approaches and dilemmas towards preserving and maintaining cultural and tribal heritage. The Kirks first visit the Hesquiat tribe with archaeologists looking for clues into the tribal past. The original village of Hesquiat was moved in the 1920s and destroyed in 1965 by the Alaskan earthquake and subsequent tidal wave, a modern village was established in its place. The Hesquiat people face feelings of displacement. Through archaeological efforts of the Provincial Museum in Victoria, Hesquiat heritage is being preserved. Cultural preservation: animal bone analysis, genealogical efforts, linguistic preservation, and reclaiming stolen dance masks. The Kirks next visit the villages of Kitwancool and Kitwanga and Kispiox and 'Ksan of the Tsimishian Indian tribe. The Tsimishian people maintain their culture by inhabiting their original land and practicing the old ways: totem pole carving, longhouse building, and pot-latching (ancient ritual of song and dance). They sustain cultural and tribal unity through commissioned totem pole carving and touring dance groups. The program focuses on how Hesquiat and Tsimishian Indians maintain tribal unity and values in a modern world.

ESA to Honor Charles "Dom" D'Ascoli With Weinstock Award
The Electronic Security Association announced Charles "Dom" D'Ascoli as the 2013 Morris F. Weinstock Award during the 2014 ESA Leadership Summit.
January 20, 2014
ORLANDO, Fla. — The Electronic Security Association (ESA) has named Charles "Dom" D'Ascoli as its 2013 Morris F. Weinstock Person of the Year Award Tuesday during the 2014 ESA Leadership Summit in Orlando, Fla.
Considered the highest honor in the electronic security industry, the accolade recognizes an individual for his/her outstanding achievement and ongoing efforts on behalf of the association.
D'Ascoli, who was elected as president of the ESA executive committee in 2010, founded security system installation and monitoring company Smoky Mountain Systems in 1982. The firm also provides telephone system sales and service, home automation including lighting and control systems, and associated low voltage equipment and applications.
He also founded Smoky Mountain Internet Services Inc., a facilities based ISP and Web hosting and design company and is the managing partner of Unicom Communications LLC, a competitive local exchange carrier reselling local and long distance telephone service in North Carolina and Florida since 1997.
In 1984, D'Ascoli joined the Georgia Electronic Life Safety and Security Association (GELSSA) where he successfully lobbied for the passage of the current Georgia licensing requirements. His efforts prompted the association to elect him as secretary of the board of directors, served GELSSA for three years in that capacity.
He later joined the North Carolina Electronic Security Association (NCESA) in 1995. At NCESA, he has held two nonconsecutive terms as president, a term as vice president, and a term as treasurer. For eight years, he represented NCESA on the ESA board of directors. He also served as chairman of the standards committee and sat on the elections, National Training School and investment committees.
In 2007, he was elected vice president on the ESA executive committee and served in that capacity until his election as president of ESA in 2010.
During his presidency, D'Ascoli oversaw the move to new headquarters in Irving, Texas, allowing ESA increase service to members. D'Ascoli's leadership also led to the creation of the member service center, where members are now able to get immediate assistance when they contact the organization.
ESA will present the accolade to D'Ascoli during the Electronic Security Expo (ESX) in Nashville, Tenn. on June 23-26.

Faith Column: Go home!
The Gospel according to Mark has rather strong emphasis on demon possession. Now, wait a minute! Don't quit reading this article because you think I am about to go in a direction similar to the one that took place in the early 1970s, when our society had an interest in exorcism with the production of the film "The Exorcist."
This article is not about demon possession, nor is it about exorcism. Rather it's about where God wants you, the reader, to be a witness to His Son, Jesus.
If you are so inclined, take out your Bible and look up the passage from Mark 5:1-20. It's the account of Jesus' healing of a man who was possessed by a "legion" of demons. A Roman legion consisted of anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 soldiers. If you do the math, that's about two or three demons per pig that were drowned in the sea.
(Forgive me if I've gotten ahead of some of you, particularly those not familiar with the factual story.) Rather than getting bogged down in the re-telling of the healing of this man who, before his encounter with Jesus, lived among the tombs, I want to fast-forward to the end of the story, to the part where the man is healed, in his right mind, and makes a request of Jesus.
Mark tells us that after Jesus healed the man, the citizens of that area begged Jesus to depart from their region. Note: The "normal" people want nothing to do with Jesus. Yet this just-healed-former-demoniac begs permission to join Jesus with the rest of His disciples as He travels and preaches the good news of the kingdom of God.
Jesus turns down the man's request. However, our Lord graciously answers his "prayer" by saying, "Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how He has had mercy upon you." (Mark 5:19)
"Go home!" If you are like me, you may have imagined that in order to serve Jesus you would have to go to some faraway nation and be a missionary. Or perhaps you would have to give up your profession or career and enroll yourself in the seminary, monastery or missionary training school of your choice. (Don't get me wrong, I'm not against folks in the foreign mission field.)
But this is my point: Where does Jesus want you to serve Him? It's with your spouse, your children, your siblings, your parents and your friends — the persons in your life that you are closest with — and what happens in these relationships? Invariably, we hurt one another because that's what sinners do.
But here's the good news: Thanks to Jesus who has had mercy on you, you are able to say, "I'm sorry for …" Or, "I forgive you for …" In other words, you can live in repentance and faith by confessing your sins to one another and forgiving or absolving one another just as you pray in the Lord's Prayer: "and forgive us our trespasses (sins) as we forgive those who trespass (sin) against us."
Wow! What a great way to serve the Lord! God grant it in your life, for Jesus' sake. Amen!

Ggal that is a beautiful block you made Carriem, top marks indeed..
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Ggal that is a beautiful block you made Carriem, top marks indeed..
Carrie & Gardnergal - that block is awesome! Lucky Carrie!
"You have enough quilts made when your soul is filled, your creativity satisfied and your fingers just won't work anymore."
GG and Carrie, gorgeous block!
Another hot day here I think I will stay home today and do nothing!
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
DH came into my sewing room this afternoon and said "let's have a look at what fabric you have that might go with these tigers" aarrrrrggghhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! I thought there was going to be blood shed when we actually saw my stash but hold on to your chairs. He says "you really don't have much do you", (is he blind!!!!!) I though he was joking but apparently not as he asked what was the best place to search for fabric and I said Hancock's. He then says well lets look at what they have, by now I am ready to faint
It gets better
I find 2 fabrics that would work and he is humming and harring and then says just get both but make sure you get enough so you can play around with the layout.. there was a border print that went with one of the fabrics and he said get that too.... Now I know I am dreaming ... SO I have 13 yards of fabric winging its way to me and I don't have to hide it I might just forgive him for being a pain in the neck earlier (just maybe)
I'll bake him Lemon Squares tomorrow
Karen, that's a keeper. Does he have a brother ??
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Anael he has 3 brothers but he is the best of the bunch, in 35 years of marriage I have only met his oldest brother once and have never met his wife or son.. My out-laws er I mean in-laws were a bit strange..
Carrie, I love the block GGal made. The blues are my favorite color and she did an outstanding job. Your quilt is going to be so bright and cheery!
Still working extra days & evenings for the next 2 weeks then hope things slow down so I can get back into my Bat Cave. Worked a little on the 50 Fab stars but not a lot of progress made. Will catch up on everyone soon but hope all have a great day.
Imagine all the people living life in peace...(John Lennon 1940-1980)
GGal and Carrie M ... wow! Shows how a fabric can really get movement into a block as I can really see that spinning like a pinwheel in the wind!
CarrieM ... ice ice ice and take care of that shoulder!! Slugging bolts of fabric around is probably hard on it! No more Fairs for Quilts til September and I'll enter at 3 or 4 thru to our Thanksgiving. There are no competition classses at the CNE where we do The Story of Butter Display as well as the Dairy Barn milking demos and education centre. Starting to gear up the prep for it, as it's in August.
JeanieG ... Guess that was too obvious for me to google it I like the colour and must remember it. I want to paint my bedroom, though never sure what colour I want. Like your choice, I want something quite neutral so I can show off all my different quilts. I've been thinking a "white" similar to yours or with more of a yellow tone.
MiraB ... oh dear! two more weeks of different tigers. Perhaps you should do one on orange too for him!! So I had that all typed before you posted your update and thought you were in a dream!! I hope that you really OVER ORDERED so there'll be fabric for you for other projects!!!!! BTW 13 yards just does not sound like enough, so maybe better order another 13 today!! .... Did he settle for the black? What a wonderful man that MrMiraB truly is!!!!! Not just Lemon Squares for him, but his whole favourite dinner should be made to his praises!!!! Will look forward to hearing all about the big Quilt Luncheon on Thursday ... of course, pics too! It's so nice that you can have so much time with your DD!!! Thankfully the two of you share your quilting love.
QNSue ... does WalMart not deliver to your home? I know a friend here orders online and can return if not suitable. Sounds like the best option for you.
Anael ... Good plan ... stay home and CHILL! I heard that it was 33.5C in London, England yesterday for the Royal birth, so am thinking you are much the same!
JanRN ... I bet you are mostly recovering between shifts and then back to work each time. Hope it's a little cooler, to let you do so! Then think of all the FARTs in August!!!
Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!
Goodmorning! Oh I forgot to mail my MB AGAIN! so I will do it today... reliably UNreliable... sheesh!
QuiltE I dont have my recipe on me, Im at my sisters, but the noodle is "Acini De Pepe", its small and round, but bigger than tapioca... I dont know if you can find it. I will round up the recipe... Im sure my sister has it somewhere!
!!!!!Chubby Babies!!!!! ohhh they are so darling! Aneal, thanks for the pics, the babies are simply amazing
Candace is Deranged

Sew many ideas ... just sew little time!!

Agree. I think whether it is Jerrigan or Hixon we will be fine..
Agree. I think whether it is Jerrigan or Hixon we will be fine..
If this is true.. torrain better be playing.. im sorry but wilson isn't ready to carry the load by himself.. torrain has proved he can carry most of the running game with his time on the skins..
Ahmad didn't seem himself at all on Sunday. When did he hurt his knee?
He has a sprained knee, as per NFL.com.
Still not good.
I am not a big Bradshaw fan. Back during our first superbowl he carried a big defensive end for five yards. Lately he has not moved the pile at all. We need someone who can move the pile. BTW, I never though Jacobs moved the pile very well for a guy who is as big as he is. Always thought his biggest asset was having a huge blocker for pass plays. If you can't move the pile, you are not going to make third and short. I just don't think Bradshaw with his feet and ankle situation is very effective any more. I respect his toughness, but I don't think he is very effective, too many plays where he gets stuffed on first down. I did however like the way Andre Brown moved the pile.
Some people are calling for Jacobs to come back, but personally, I'd like to see us with a back that is more versatile. Maybe Wilson can be more of a pass catcher and bring back that dimension of the game we lost when Tiki retired.
The solution is, we have to keep them from scoring. Then we'll only have one KO to return, and almost anybody should be able to handle that job. So Defense is the key to solving this problem!

The New School
Annual Hans Maeder Lecture With Nobel Prize-Winning Psychologist Daniel Kahneman
Daniel Kahneman, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology and
Professor of Public Affairs Emeritus at Princeton University, and a
founding partner of The Greatest Good, a consulting firmwill deliver this year's annual Hans Maeder Lecture entitled "Why Hawks Win."
Why Hawks Win:Arguments that pit hawks against doves have a familiar script: the hawks see a more hostile adversary than doves do, they believe that the adversary will respond to force, and they believe that their side will prevail in conflict. In negotiations, hawks have a more negative view of the opponent's motives, and believe concessions will be exploited rather than reciprocated. A review of the cognitive biases most studied in recent decades leads to an unexpected conclusion: common biases favor hawkish positions, causing hawks to be viewed as more prudent than they really are. Hawks are persuasive and they probably win more arguments than they deserve.Daniel Kahneman was educated at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem and obtained his PhD in Berkeley. He taught at The Hebrew University, at the University of British Columbia and at Berkeley, joining the Princeton faculty in 1994, retiring in 2007. Over a wide-ranging research career he has been involved in many fields of psychology, ranging from vision and attention to the study of juror behavior and the measurement of well-being. He is best known for his contributions, with his late colleague Amos Tversky, to the psychology of judgment and decision making, which inspired the development of behavioral economics This work earned Kahneman the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2002 and other honors, including honorary degrees from several Universities, the 2006 Thomas Schelling Award given by the Kennedy School at Harvard "to an individual whose remarkable intellectual work has had a transformative impact on public policy", the Outstanding Lifetime Contribution Award of the American Psychological Association in 2007, and the Talcott Parsons Prize of the Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2011. He was instrumental in establishing the teaching of Psychology as a core discipline in the Woodrow Wilson School for Public and International Affairs at Princeton. Kahneman's recent book Thinking, Fast and Slow is a best-seller in several countries. (Photo credit: Audra Mellon).

US Supreme Court Rules Make Firms Track e-mails, IMs
Looks like those companies in the industry that make storage equipment just got some sales help from the US government. And who says lobbying doesn't help business.
For full story:
WASHINGTON - U.S. companies will need to keep track of all the e-mails, instant messages and other electronic documents generated by their employees thanks to new federal rules that go into effect Friday, legal experts say.
The rules, approved by the Supreme Court in April, require companies and other entities involved in federal litigation to produce "electronically stored information" as part of the discovery process, when evidence is shared by both sides before a trial.
The change makes it more important for companies to know what electronic information they have and where. Under the new rules, an information technology employee who routinely copies over a backup computer tape could be committing the equivalent of "virtual shredding," said Alvin F. Lindsay, a partner at Hogan & Hartson LLP and expert on technology and litigation.

Reviews for this host's other properties
Very good location from the city centre just 9 minuts by metro. Metro is just 3 minuts by foot. The first day Andy received us and he spent all time we needed to explain us everything about the city and the apartment.
I would highly reccomend it!
Andy was extremely helpful. Flat is like on picture all great . Highly recommend
Super apartment, perfectly equipped, Good windows keep the city noise typical street back largely, when they are closed; then you can sleep well. Andrew is a nice landlord who is also valuable tips on the city.
Super Wohnung, perfekt ausgestattet, Gute Fenster halten den großstadttypischen Straßenlärm weitgehend zurück, wenn sie geschlossen sind; dann kann man gut schlafen. Andrew ist ein netter Vermieter, der auch wertvolle Tipps zur Stadt gibt.
We were 4 persons on a very nice trip to Prag in week 14 2014. The apartment was very fine and clean. Andy gave us many informations about Prag in the week with sms. It was super. The apartment is very near to allthings in Prag. There is very many resturants near Miru just 5 min. walk and they are good and the prices low. So in all it has been a super stay.
Linda, Bjarne, Henny & Per
Ps: Do use this apartment.
Andrew was a fantastic host.
He took time to tell is where and what's.
His view of where to go to meet the locals was specific and helped us alot.
The apartment was fantastic, and the location was just perfect. 4 min walk to the nearest metro.
Will stay there again next time.
Thx Andrew
Extremely friendly host.
Excellent apartment.
Everything you need for a good stay there.
To be repeated
Uiterst vriendelijke gastheer.
Prima appartement.
Alles wat wat je nodig hebt voor een goed verblijf is aanwezig.
Voor herhaling vatbaar
It was a wonderful stay with Andrew. The apartment is clean, nicely decorated and quiet. In the kitchen everything is there that you need. The park in front of the house is unfortunately not possible because these parking lots are reserved for residents, but about 100 meters down the road you will find a parking space in the next district. Nearby there are also some nice restaurants where you can eat well and on a budget, we needed for dinner with drinks together about 30 €. The city is best explored with the tram line or subway. Tickets are available from the vending machine (coins erfoderlich) or at the subway station Miru at a cash register. Many thanks to Andrew for the nice and easy absorption in the apartment. We wish you all a happy and a happy new year 2014. Parg is worth the trip. Greetings Stefan
Es war ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt bei Andrew. Die Wohnung ist sauber, schön eingerichtet und ruhig gelegen. In der Küche ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. Das parken vor dem Haus ist leider nicht möglich da diese Parkplatze für Anwohner reserviert sind, aber ca 100m die Strasse runter findet man einen Parkplatz im nächsten Bezirk. In der nähe gibt es auch ein paar schöne Lokale in denen man Gut und Günstig essen kann, wir brauchten für Abendessen mit getränken zusammen ca. 30€. Die Stadt erkundet man am besten mit der Starssenbahn oder U-Bahn. Tickets gibt es am Automaten (Münzen erfoderlich) oder an der U-Bahnhaltestelle Miru an einer Kasse. Herzlichen Dank an Andrew für die nette und unkomplizierte Aufnahme in der Wohnung. Wir wünschen allen einen guten rutsch und ein gutes neues Jahr 2014. Parg ist eine Reise wert. Gruß Stefan
Andrew is very polite and friendly. The flat was good, clean and close to everything we needed. Great job, Thanks Andrew. I can surely recommend this flat. Bye.
Andrew was a wonderful host. He met us at the train station and took us to his beautiful apartment. He spent more than an hour with us. He explained to us every thing we needed to know. How to use the metro, where to go and gave us very useful information about the local area.
We have no hesitation in recommending this beautiful apartment with a very nice host.
We were welcomed and adopted as well. Good advice from Mr. Scott were very helpful. The apartment is really central. However, a car in this environment is very cumbersome. Can also be neglected because of the excellent connections with metro and tram. The apartment itself is to say that it is really well decorated and spacious. We will gladly return.
Elke and Günter Rottländer and friend (elderly couples).
Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und ebenso verabschiedet. Gute Ratschläge von Mr. Scott waren sehr hilfreich. Das Appartement liegt wirklich zentral. Allerdings ist ein Auto in diesem Umfeld sehr hinderlich. Kann aber wegen der ausgezeichneten Verbindungen mit U- und Straßenbahn vernachlässigt werden. Zur Wohnung selbst ist zu sagen, daß sie wirklich gut eingerichtet und geräumig ist. Wir werden gerne zurückkommen.

There's a local campaign in the Greater Toronto Area sponsored by the good folks at the Salvation Army called Toy Mountain. People bring in gifts of new toys that will, we are told, be distributed to children in need. The underlying theme is that there can be nothing worse than for a kid to wake up on Christmas morning without a toy under the tree.

Okay, so... I'm going to attempt to build one of each type of beehive in relatively common usage around the world. (Yeah, I know big task, so I'm not going to do it all at once.) I already have plans and/or dimensions for the following hive types:
* Langstroth (eight and ten frame plus assort nucleus designs)
* Warre
* Layens
* Dadant-Blatt
* William Broughton Carr (WBC)
* Brittish National
* Adansonian
If anyone has plans for these others, I'd really appreciate it:
* Zander
* German National
* Norwegian "trough" hive
* anything else I might be forgetting, including those designed for the asiatic honeybee
Language of the plans doesn't matter if accompanied by even half-decent drawings. I've already pretty much decided that horizontal top-bar hives come is such a bewildering variety that I'm not going to mess much with them.

UTSA senior Jessica Rogers
UTSA senior named to ESPN First Team in softball
By Kyle Stephens
UTSA Sports Information Director
(May 15, 2007)--UTSA senior Jessica Rogers has been named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District VI First Team for the third straight year, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced May 10. The South Grand Prairie High product now is eligible for her second Academic All-America honor with voting by a national panel beginning this week.
Rogers, a first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-American in 2005, was one of 12 student-athletes from the Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas selected to the squad and one of two from the Southland Conference, joining Brooke Lockhart of Southeastern Louisiana.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Rogers graduated in December with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology and boasts a 3.77 cumulative grade point average. An eight-time UTSA Dean's List honoree, she completed her first semester of graduate school last week.
A four-year starter at third base, Rogers recently earned first-team All-SLC honors for the fourth consecutive season -- one of only 11 players in SLC history to accomplish that feat -- and was named to the All-SLC Tournament team for the second time last weekend.
The 2005 SLC Student-Athlete, Player and Hitter of the Year, she demolished three league career records this season -- home runs (69), runs batted in (192) and total bases (525) -- and also set school standards for runs (159), hits (281), extra-base hits (104) and at-bats (732). Rogers finished this season with a .404 batting average (74-for-183), nine doubles, 18 home runs, 53 RBIs, a .749 slugging percentage, 11 walks, a .442 on-base percentage and two sacrifice flies.
In order to be eligible for academic all-district honors, a student-athlete must maintain a cumulative G.P.A. of at least 3.20 on a 4.00 scale and participate in at least 50 percent of her team's games. Freshmen and first-year transfers are not eligible.

I would, but I don't think you would believe it. LOL
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I would, but I don't think you would believe it. LOL
This is the view from the door. Currently I am working on a QAYG Christmas quilt. I am hoping to re-organize over Christmas break to make room for my new machine so that I can start using it.

I love seeing these pictures ... but, my room has gone through a major change and really looks pretty bare - now the longarm area is another thing ...
Nope, not my areas.
I was hoping to see one that looks as bad as mine, but not yet. I think I will wait until tomorrow!
'what an interesting iron and rest? What is that?
It takes real skill to choke on air, fall upstairs and trip over completely nothing .... I have that skill!!!
My plate may be full, but my cup runneth over with blessings.
If I knew how to post pictures of my sewing rooms I would. They are organized construction zones. As I tell my friends and family, if your coming to see me, come on over. If your coming to see my house, make an appointment. My sewing rooms get messy creating, when I am finished with something I straighten it up but I can't remember the last day I didn't sew for at least 2 hours so there is always "construction" going on in one or both of them. Every once in a while I just say to myself, ok clean it up and then jump back into construction.
I love the prominent display of good old Rip.
A couple of weeks ago I was missing some fabric, two 6 yard pieces meant as backing for quilts. I'd been at my daughter's house taking care of grandkids for 6 weeks and doing some sewing there also (not much!). Looked there, had my granddaughter look everywhere, and then my daughter. No luck. I had to have one 6 yard piece and I finally found a piece that "would do" and ordered it, but in the meantime I absolutely went through everything. Took out all my fabrics, refolded, and redid my stacks by color. Went though all my drawers and boxes and bins and made everything absolutely neat. Lables now put on every box and bin. Still couldn't find it. So, new material arrived and I got back into quilting. Quilt almost done. But my quilting room? Oh, my! Everything is out, all over the place (only the things I used, not so much fabric). I always work on two or three things at once and then clean up. Mark me down as #5 in this thread of those of us who can't figure out how to post pictures.
Love your Bernina. :0) Is that a magnetic pin holder? Never have it around your computerized machine...

I want to congratulate one hell of a Giants football team. You guys dominated us in all three phases today and you deserve all the credit for the win. We won a close game against you last year and you beat us in a close game in the NFCCG. You have a great offense and your running game was balling today. Your defense was boss today and you showed why you are the defending SB champs. One thing I've noticed bout you guys this year is you almost always step up to the level of your competition. I look forward to watching you guys play the remainder of the year.
On a side note, I really hate the media and how they always blow stuff between two teams out of proportion. Anyone who didn't give the gmen a chance today are just ignorant.
Good luck for the rest of the year and I hope you guys can stay injury free. We have a lot of work to do but I hope we are good enough to win the division and make a playoff appearance again. Good luck with them Skins!

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I love that two tone blue Morse! I don't see anything like that on Craig's list here. Most machines listed there are either rusted badly or if it does work they want far too much for them.
Dee Fox,
I like your machines, especially the robin's egg blue Kenmore, it looks like some of the bobbins in the picture are the wrong type. They should look like the bobbins with lots of holes in them, or a solid version of them.

Different from the sock beside the sock. I google knitting two socks together and found the sock inside a sock.
I like knitting from the toe up because I don't have to deal with picking up stitches. I would love to figure out how to knit a sock inside a sock from the toe up.
Remember the Willcox and Gibbs I showed you months ago? Here it is - I finished the clean up yesterday and got it stitching. I love it. I've had another look at the picture of Nancy's W&G treadle because I remember her saying that the W&G is good for decorative stitching. It's a really neat chain stitch.
Charlee - Hope you are well! Nice you are enjoying the knitting. Why not knit two socks at once on the same needle to keep them the same length? I used to do that with sleeves. It just means you have two balls of wool dangling about.
Nancy - Lovely to see your two Jones machines together. The one that refers to Queen Alexandra will be the older of the two. She died in 1925.
Muv -
Beautiful! From a fellow W&G ower - it turned out beautiful!
Yours is handcrank? Mine is electric - I have to work on the electric a bit and the start on the outside.
I have one of those on my wish list. They're just so cute!
Muv...it looks great!!!

Science now takes for granted the importance of forces and time spans we can't perceive directly
Robert L. Dorit
Two centuries before Charles Darwin wrote On the Origin of Species, Bishop James Ussher calculated the age of the Earth. To do so, the Primate of All Ireland (time has given his title a certain irony) carefully mined the Old and New Testaments for genealogical information that might lead him back to the date of Creation. In so doing, he concluded that the Earth was only about 5,600 years old. It's easy to ridicule the bishop and his date, but to do so misses a larger point. Ussher's approach was rigorous—even elegant—and he seemed to understand that the Earth's age could only be inferred through careful observation of evidence. What doomed his result—and, indeed, many a conclusion in science—were faulty assumptions. The bishop, who took as an axiom that the biblical account of Creation was literal, painstakingly did the math attendant on the notorious biblical begats. He then dutifully added to his tally the five days that separated the creation of the Earth from the creation of human beings, and arrived at the exact date of Creation: October 23, 4004 B.C. Of course, he was wrong.
By the 18th century, scientists in various disciplines had used diverse approaches to calculate the planet's age and reached different conclusions. As they did, the Earth got older. Still, by the mid-19th century, when Darwin was writing the Origin, the age of the planet was a contentious issue. Although the 4004 B.C. date had fallen from favor, estimates still varied wildly and tended to err on the side of youth.
What Darwin realized was that a youthful Earth was appealing not only because it adhered to the biblical time line, but also because it was simply easier to imagine. He knew that his own argument for natural selection depended on vast conceptions of time, and he also understood that the time spans required would be nearly impossible to comprehend. In a section of the Origin entitled "On the Lapse of Time," he wrote:
It is hardly possible for me even to recall to the reader, who may not be a practical geologist, the facts leading the mind feebly to comprehend the lapse of time. He who can read Sir Charles Lyell's grand work on the Principles of Geology … yet does not admit how incomprehensibly vast have been the past periods of time, may at once close this volume.
Darwin feared that his readers would be unable to understand the deep time over which natural selection acts, and that their failure would be problematic for his argument. Those with limited imaginations might as well put away his book at once.
From the time he began writing in his notebooks after returning from his voyage on the HMS Beagle, Darwin knew that his was a radical theory, time spans aside. In 1837, 22 years before the publication of the Origin, he wrote "cuidado" (caution) in his journal as he thought about the implications of his ideas. As many have noted before, in the new Darwinian reality, human beings were still a unique species—but no more so than any other species, living or extinct. Gone forever was the notion that we were special, that our origins were unlike those of any other organism on Earth. Darwin carefully avoided mentioning human beings in the Origin, writing, in a masterpiece of understatement buried on page 488 of the first edition: "Much light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history." Indeed.
Still, when I recently reread the Origin, I was struck by a subtler blow the book delivers to human hubris. The Origin remains, even in the 21st century, a radical work, which argues that the fundamental forces driving life on this planet occur on timescales that render the span of a human life insignificant. Furthermore, although the effects of natural selection are there for all to see, its daily operation is almost completely hidden from view. Both our life spans and our five senses are inadequate to the task of comprehension: The most powerful mechanism of organic change lies well beyond our everyday experience.
By Darwin's time, 19th-century geologists and paleontologists were well aware of the fossil record—and they knew that fossils were old. Naturalists recognized the characteristic appearance and extinction of faunas in the geologic record; by the mid-1800s, they had named the periods and even established their order of succession. But the implications of the fossil record for the age of the Earth remained controversial. One group of scholars constructed increasingly elaborate theories of successive catastrophes that reconciled the fossil record with a young Earth. Lyell and Darwin belonged to another camp, pioneered by James Hutton, which argued that the fossil history was evidence of a far more ancient Earth. As Hutton put it in a 1785 paper presented to the Royal Society of Edinburgh, Earth's geology revealed "no vestige of a beginning, no prospect of an end."
The matter was far from settled. Indeed, the assignment of accurate absolute dates to the geologic timescale would have to wait for the discovery of radioactive decay at the turn of the 20th century. That's not to say no one tried; clever calculations were certainly attempted during Darwin's lifetime. Most notably, the influential physicist William Thomson—better known as Lord Kelvin—argued for the power of physical approaches to the question of time spans. He used the rate of cooling of an originally molten Earth to conclude that our planet was likely 100 million years old.
Here again, as with Bishop Ussher, the flaw was not in the method, but in its underlying assumptions. Kelvin knew nothing about radioactivity and the constant heat it supplied. His model of a cooling Earth failed to account for new heat contributed by radioactive decay. Nor did he consider the transfer of heat from Earth's deep interior to its crust by convection. These omissions led to a serious underestimate of the planet's age.
At the same time that Kelvin was making the case for a 100-million-year-old Earth, geologists championed a completely different approach. Their argument depended on careful observation of the speed of deposition and erosion in contemporary landscapes. Geologists in the 19th century understood that these processes, writ large, could carve canyons, build up or erase thick sedimentary layers and reshape topography. By looking at these large-scale phenomena in terms of slow—but measurable—current rates of deposition and erosion, they could estimate how long those processes had been at work to generate contemporary geologic features. This approach, sometimes called uniformitarianism, would lead to significantly greater estimates of the age of the Earth.
In the first edition of the Origin, Darwin employed this method to calculate the age of the Weald, a sandstone formation in Southern England. This feature, once covered by a layer of chalk (still visible in nearby formations), had been completely denuded. Based on estimates of the rate of erosion, Darwin calculated that it would have taken at least 300 million years to remove all of the sediments covering the Weald. This estimate was three times greater than even the most generous prevailing notions of the age of the Earth. Kelvin was unimpressed with both the method and the result that Darwin obtained. And, as it turns out, Darwin was wrong, too. The Weald, in an unusual turn, was younger than he thought. Shortly after its publication in 1859, Darwin acknowledged that his estimate was likely incorrect, and the episode continued to disturb him. In an 1860 letter to his friend Asa Gray, he complained that "in fact geologists have no means of gauging the infinitude of past time." A few months later, he wrote to his friend Lyell about the dangers of extrapolation:
Having burnt my own fingers so consumedly with the Wealden, I am fearful for you.… for Heaven-sake take care of your fingers; to burn them severely, as I have done, is very unpleasant.
By the third edition of the Origin, published in 1861, the discussion of the age of the Weald was entirely gone. Telling time was proving trickier than Darwin had thought.
Despite his misstep with the Weald, Darwin was profoundly influenced by his training in geology and his deep friendships with many of the leading geologists of his time. Natural selection, in effect, was a force directly analogous to erosion and deposition. Like erosion, it was capable of destruction, eliminating the less fit in the struggle for existence. And, like sedimentation, natural selection could also act as a creative force, building new forms through the slow accretion of imperceptible changes.
But if geology was slow, natural selection was even slower. Lyell, in a metaphor that Darwin later admired as "capital," made the point in his book Principles of Geology:
In a word, the movement of the inorganic world is obvious and palpable, and might be likened to the minute-hand of a clock, the progress of which can be seen and heard, whereas the fluctuations of the living creation are nearly invisible, and resemble the motion of the hour-hand of the time-piece.
Natural selection needed time, and lots of it—time immeasurable in human life spans.
Aware of the challenge involved in communicating such a vast expanse of time, Darwin began the Origin in a beautifully calculating way. The first chapter is a compendium of examples of artificial selection brought about over a few generations of selective breeding. These reassuring instances demonstrate selection at the human scale, with human agency as the driving force. Many of Darwin's readers, country gentlemen of means, would have been intimately familiar with the breeds he discussed. An avid pigeon fancier himself (he boasted of belonging to two London pigeon clubs), Darwin marshalled the English carrier and the short-faced tumbler, the runt and the barb, the turbit, the pouter and the fantail—all the while alluding to the power of pigeon fanciers to generate these breeds from a single rock-pigeon ancestor. Easing slowly into the scope of time, Darwin reassured his readers that these many breeds had been brought about in the course of human history.
This first chapter, "Variation under Domestication," had, as its name suggests, an explicit agenda. In it, Darwin established the importance and ubiquity of variation. By emphasizing the consequences of artificial selection, he struck an important first blow against the purported immutability of species. And by alluding to the common ancestry of so many radically different contemporary variations, he set the cornerstone of the argument for descent with modification. But behind these explicit goals, this chapter also bolstered readers' confidence in their ability to understand vast stretches of time and to apprehend nature through their senses. Darwin wrote, for example, that:
the earliest known record of pigeons is in the fifth Ægyptian dynasty, about 3000 B.C. … but Mr. Birch informs me that pigeons are given in a bill of fare in the previous dynasty.
He thus anchored his argument in the realm of human history. When he spoke of how "King Charles's spaniel has been unconsciously modified to a large extent since the time of that monarch," he reassured his readers that the forces at play are within the scope of human experience. He knew, I believe, that if we could understand his examples—which he explained with extraordinary care—then we might be ready for a glimpse of deep time.
By offering that glimpse, the Origin ushers us into the world of contemporary science. It asks us to acknowledge the riotous diversity of living forms and then accept that they are the result of material forces we cannot directly observe, acting over time spans we cannot imagine. It reminds us that chance operates at scales both large and small, and that selection sifts inexorably through life's variety. We live our lives in three dimensions for our threescore and ten allotted years. Yet every branch of contemporary science, from statistics to cosmology, alludes to processes that operate on scales outside of human experience: the millisecond and the nanometer, the eon and the light-year. For some, this is cause, if not for despair, then for strong suspicion and perhaps even rejection of the scientific enterprise. But there is grandeur in the notion that we are part of nature, and not above it. And there is comfort in the realization that, although our senses and brains constrain us, we can still understand phenomena far beyond those we can witness. In the end, it may be this ability to slip the bonds of our own experience—those of time, those of our senses—that makes us human.
So it's worth taking a moment to contemplate what we now know: The Earth is 4,540,000,000 years old. Life has been around for at least 3,500,000,000 of those years.

Rhode Island College students Julie Kessler and Jamilah Pittman were recently honored for winning Kingston-Mann Student Achievement Awards for Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Scholarship.
The awards are named for Esther Kingston-Mann, former director of UMass Boston's Center for Innovative Teaching and founding director of the New England Center for Inclusive Teaching.
The awards "acknowledge the work of students who make a valuable contribution to diversity and inclusion scholarship by expanding our understanding of ideas and experiences that have not always been acknowledged or recognized by traditional disciplines," according to the program's website.
Kessler and Pittman were among nearly 30 students from several colleges throughout New England who competed for the 2012 awards. They were among seven students chosen for cash awards up to $300.
The awards were announced in November, and Rhode Island College President Nancy Carriuolo recently honored Kessler and Pittman during a small ceremony on campus.
Kessler, a senior sociology major with minors in creative writing and gender and women's studies, wrote an essay called "What's in a Constitution? The Act of Covering in United States Society." It focuses on the gap between the Constitution's alleged social justice and the experiences of non-dominant groups. Her essay also reports on the growth of racism, sexism, heterosexism, and classism in spite of the Constitution and why members of non-dominant groups are forced to hide their differences.
Pittman, a senior majoring in management and social work, were among seven award winners from throughout New England, submitted an essay called "Biracial Identity Development and Online Communities." It presents original research of how mixed race people describe themselves online and reports on the meanings attached to these descriptions. Pittman hopes to conduct further research on family and peer influences on biracial identity formation.
Each was praised during the ceremony "for representing Rhode Island College with such scholarly distinction."
For students interested in participating, the submission deadlines for this year's awards are May 25 and Dec. 30, 2013. Click here for more information on Kingston-Mann Awards or contact email@example.com

Film bio of artist Jesse Trevino given to UTSA
By Janice Odom
Director of Development -- Foundation and Organization Relations
(March 9, 2007)--One of the few original reels of San Antonio artist Jesse Trevino's biography, "Spirit Against All Odds," is headed to the UTSA Library Archives, thanks to local art dealer and gallery owner Lisa Ortiz.

The donation of the film came about when Arturo Almeida, UTSA art collection curator, visited Ortiz at her gallery and suggested that the film would be an excellent asset for the UTSA archives.
Produced in the 1980s and narrated by award-winning actor Martin Sheen, the documentary has been shown many times on PBS and copies are in libraries across the country, according to Ortiz.
The 16 mm film given to UTSA is one of only two or three original prints of the documentary that tells the story of Trevino's challenges after losing his painting hand to a war injury suffered in Vietnam. First encouraged to return to school to become an art teacher, he was challenged by one of his professors to learn to paint with his left hand.
Noting how difficult that must have been for the artist, Ortiz said that "you can't tell the difference in his work" painted before and after the accident. Considered one of the country's finest Hispanic artists, Trevino had a one-man show at the National Museum of Art at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., in 1994, and his work is represented in the Smithsonian's collection and in other museums throughout the United States. President Ricardo Romo has added several of Trevino's paintings to the UTSA Art Collection.
The reel of film Ortiz donated to the UTSA Library Archives was given to her after she helped the filmmakers during their three-week production stay in San Antonio some 20 years ago. At the time, Galeria Ortiz represented the artist.
"The film is very inspiring -- like a movie," Ortiz said, adding that she was "happy that it will be saved and archived at UTSA."
Almeida said that the 16 mm film will be transferred to DVD so that students and other UTSA Library patrons can enjoy Trevino's inspirational story.

According to US Magazine, the James' pic was taken in 2004, a year before he wed Bullock. Apparently, however, James did it for shock value, and was just joking around.
"He had a stepmom whose father lost family in the camps, and they'd talk about it growing up. Jesse's not a white supremacist."The photo arose on the same day that rumors that Sandra Bullock had decided to file for divorce. Additionally, it's been reported that James has entered a Tucson rehab facility, though an unknown type of facility.

Reviews of this property
I had wonderful time at Athens. The room is very nice, really well-kept and clean. Staff is helpful and polite. Surrounding is quite good however street noise is audible. The place is in very useful localization - approx. 5min. to Metro station and 15 min. to bus terminal.
I recommend very strongly this room and Miglen.
Modern spacious apartment close to public transport. The only negative is that it is located on a busy street and the noise is continuous with traffic all the time, especially the noise of buses and motorbikes.
Showed up a day and a half late due to flight delays and was still greeted and well taken great care of :)
we had a great time at Miglen's house, all perfect and confortable, we enjoyed the staying and our journey, surely we will come back in the beautiful Athens! thank you so much, see you!
Miglen and his family are fabulous hosts. Everything about the apartment is clean and comfortable. The location is ideal, close to public transport and the centre of Athens if you like a walk. I will return without hesitation and am envious of anyone else enjoying my room. :-)
The room was fine and also Miglen and his acquaintances were very friendly. However, it was over 30 degrees in Athens during our stay and it was therefore very hot in the room. The fan has little brought and when you opened the balcony door, you could hear the street noise of cars.
The neighborhood where is located this property is very run down and there many people live under poor conditions, it shows immediately. The crisis has greatly added to this quarter and it should be a conscious one does not lives in a posh area.
The price is unbeatable, however, so vote for me and price / performance!
Das Zimmer war in Ordnung und auch Miglen und seine Bekannte waren sehr freundlich. Allerdings hatte es über 30 Grad in Athen bei unserem Aufenthalt und es war daher sehr heiß im Zimmer. Der Ventilator hat nur wenig gebracht und wenn man die Balkontür öffnete, hörte man den Straßenlärm der Autos.
Das Viertel, in dem sich diese Unterkunft befindet ist sehr heruntergekommen und es leben dort viele Menschen unter ärmlichen Verhältnissen, das merkt man sofort. Die Krise hat in diesem Viertel stark zugeschlagen und es sollte einem bewusst sein, das man nicht in einer noblen Gegend haust.
Der Preis ist allerdings unschlagbar, daher stimmt für mich auch Preis/Leistung!
We never met our "host" Miglen but a charming young woman who is present in the residence all day. To confirm our flight home was available and she tried to do his best with patience and gentillesse.La room, clean, with balcony. Decent breakfast served from 7:30 The WIFI worked well
The two black points: no double glazing and a lot of noise until late at night and only one bathroom for four bedrooms upstairs can accommodate up to 11 people
Nous n'avons jamais rencontré notre"hôte" Miglen, mais une charmante jeune femme qui est présente dans la résidence toute la journée. Pour confirmer notre vol du retour elle a été disponible et a essayé de faire son possible avec patience et gentillesse.La chambre, propre, avec balcon. Petit déjeuner correct servi à partir de 7h30 La WIFI a bien fonctionné
Les deux points noirs: pas de double vitrage et beaucoup de bruit jusqu'à tard le soir et une seule salle de bain pour 4 chambres à l'étage pouvant recevoir jusqu'à 11 personnes
Hello Miglen,
It was great! Very close to Plaka where everything happens. The quality of the room was also perfect for us!
We had a very nice stay at Miglens place! It is an old apartment, but there were everything we needed and it was very cheap. The hosts were simply the most helpfull and friendly people. The apartment lies only 15 minutes walk from acropolis, so if you need a cheap place close to the centre of Athens, Miglens place is perfect :)
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

I have 14 years with bees, but this is my first year back in since mites. Yes, I'm old.
As one trying to pull 45 new hives through the winter. I've researched various treatment and non treatment programs, but see nothing that makes a dramatic difference given the money and time required.
I think the drought here has helped keep the mites down for now. I haven't treated, am open to it, but also afraid I'll kill half the queens I just put in.
Since MAQS is formic acid, I'd be inclined save a few bucks and treat with formic acid if and when I see the need.

de-ice lvl 1.110 help
I have vmplayer setup with BT5 and de-ice 1.100. Every thing is working fine. I can connect to the webpage, i can nmap the target. Now where the issue is is with de-ice 1.110. i can nmap and see open ports just fine, port 80 is open but for the life of me, no OS can connect to the simple web page that is on the de-ice challenge. i googled and watched a youtube video to see if i was crazy about trying to connect to a web page. however, it seems that every video i watch, they just type the ip in a browser and off it goes to a site. mine does not.
remember i can nmap and see the open ports so i know that the image must be at least partially working.
