Curious about planting some in northeast Oklahoma. Large flowers, guess a good supply of nectar, wondering if the bees work the flowers.
Curious about planting some in northeast Oklahoma. Large flowers, guess a good supply of nectar, wondering if the bees work the flowers.
The bees work the one in my yard. Looks to be pollen only though.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
All on second hand info, so you need a lot more research on it. They are really messy trees to have in the yard and that's first hand knowledge.
It depends. I live in NWNJ and when my magnolia blooms it is still too cold for the bees.
My neighbors magnolia literally buzzes when in bloom. I'm not sure if it's just pollen that they're collecting but they certainly are getting something. But I agree with UT's statement, very very messy. There is at least two species of magnolias that I know of though, maybe more, and I've been told that one species is not messy at all. For the life of me the name of the non messy one is escaping me at the moment of course.
Tulip Poplar is in the magnolia family and it is a major nectar (probably the largest) flow throughout the mid atlantic. Of course it is different in many ways from the classic southern magnolia.
From a book chapter by Dr. Gary Knox:
Flowers do not produce nectar, but attract pollinating beetles with fragrant sugary secretions. Beetles of the Nitidulidae family are the primary pollinators of magnolia flowers, in part because magnolias evolved long before bees and other flying pollinators.

Beetle Pollination and Floral Thermogenicity in Magnolia tamaulipana (Magnoliaceae)
Gregg Dieringer, Leticia Cabrera R., Manuel Lara, Larisa Loya, and Pedro Reyes‐Castillo
International Journal of Plant Sciences
Vol. 160, No. 1 (January 1999), pp. 64-71
From the abstract ---
Our results indicate that M. tamaulipana possesses a highly specialized beetle pollination system involving Cyclocephala (Scarabaeidae: Dynastinae) and members of the Staphylinidae. Of the 366 insects visiting 213 flowers of M. tamaulipana, 364 were beetles. Cyclocephala caelestis accounted for 52% and Myrmecocephalus sp. for 46% of the visits.
This blog has pix of bees (honey and bumble) working magnolia (at the stamen base, but notes that they are late arrivals.
I live in Tulsa and have a 30' Magnolia. They drop their huge leaves twice a year and the seed pods are 4" long. The highest maintenance tree I've ever seen, something's always dropping off of it. When the blooms fall off I get to deal with ants, roaches and snakes. But they do attract bees and those big Cacida killer wasps love them too.

If you leave the limbs all the way to the ground, you can run the mower around the tree and blow all the leaves and pods back under the tree. No mess, no maintainence. Plus they look like a huge green Christmas tree.

by Chad Dechow
The author is an associate professor of dairy cattle genetics at Penn State University.
The Animal Improvement Programs Laboratory (AIPL) at USDA releases DHI statistics every year. Those trends found at http://aipl.arsusda.gov/publish/dhi.htm allow us to track a variety of traits. There are many impressive trends in this data, but the combination of a steady rise in milk, fat and protein yields coupled with lower somatic cell counts stand out to me.
The reason I find this combination impressive is the antagonistic genetic correlation between yield and mastitis. The correlation suggests that we should see a slow but steady rise in the rate of mastitis as milk yields go up over time. We also need larger udders to hold the extra milk, and big udders are likely to be closer to the ground and more easily injured. Today's cows have the same number of teats as lower-yielding cows in the past. Higher yield means more milk exiting through the same four teats, resulting in more potential wear on teat ends.
Despite the potential added stress on a cow's udder, average test-day somatic cell counts have declined from over 300,000 in 1995 to just over 200,000. Meanwhile, milk yield has improved by nearly 8 pounds per day in the same time period.
Credit type-minded breeders
We need udder capacity to hold more milk, but there is more than one way to boost udder volume. Udders can be deeper or they can be longer and wider. Breeders have placed a lot of selection pressure on making sure udders did not become deeper and more loosely attached, even though bulls that transmit the best udder conformation may not have always been at the very top of bull rankings for other traits.
The genetic relationship between udder traits and mastitis is well-documented. The single most involved trait is udder depth. Udders held far from the ground and close to a cow's body wall are less susceptible to mastitis. A strong fore udder attachment also has a favorable relationship with mastitis resistance and is highly correlated with udder depth. The relationships between the other udder traits and mastitis are relatively modest.
A 1994 study helped to document the success that North American Holstein breeders had in limiting upward movements in mastitis cases in response to higher milk yields. Researchers from Sweden evaluated the change in milk yield and mastitis incidence. Sweden has a national database of mastitis treatments and is able to track how mastitis rates have changed over time. Swedish dairy producers imported North American Holstein semen, and researchers noted that this yielded a substantial gain in milk yield. However, mastitis rates did not climb as milk yield rose, which was attributed to the terrific udders of North American Holsteins. As the authors stated:
"The "Holsteinization" of the Black and White cows in Sweden has, on average, led to a marked increase in production without a change in the prevalence of mastitis, despite the generally observed antagonistic relationship. A possible deterioration has probably been counteracted by correlated positive effects of simultaneously improved udder conformation," (Journal of Dairy Science, Volume 77, pages 3252 3261).
I have challenged the direction that we have taken for type traits such as body size and will provide some thoughts on dairy form in the future that not all will agree with. However, it is quite clear that breeders knew what they were doing when it came to udder traits. They deserve credit for placing strong emphasis on udder conformation at a time when many involved with genetics thought that it would shift selection pressure away from more economically important traits.
It wasn't until 2000 that udder composite was included in the Net Merit index. There is some evidence that the relationship between udder traits and herd life is not as strong now as it once was. I think this is largely because of the tremendous progress we've made in udder conformation.
Further opportunities
The Swedish researchers were able to pinpoint improved udders as largely responsible for the favorable mastitis outcome because genetic evaluations for SCS (somatic cell score) were not yet available at that time. The researchers noted that even though we had prevented upward trends in mastitis, improvements in genetic selection programs were certainly possible. Indeed, the genetic trend for SCS rose slightly until the last 5 to 10 years for most breeds. The release of SCS and productive life (PL) evaluations in 1994 have provided additional opportunities to select for udder health. As a result, SCS genetic trends are now declining for most breeds. The exception to this is the Jersey breed, where the genetic trend appears to have leveled off more recently.
While we have developed a fairly robust system to select for mastitis resistance with the combination of udder conformation, SCS and productive life, additional improvements are possible. Some bulls have daughters with high rates of mastitis even though they have good udders and low SCS. Such bulls can only be detected by generating direct mastitis PTA (predicted transmitting ability).
The nationalized cow health databases in Sweden and other Nordic countries facilitate estimation of mastitis-resistance PTA. We do not have such a system in the United States. However, our dairy farmers do record a substantial amount of cow health data with various dairy herd management software programs. Researchers have demonstrated that such data can be used to generate disease resistance PTA, so there is potential for us to expand our udder health selection toolkit to include direct mastitis evaluations in the future.
It takes a team effort
The maintenance of high levels of udder health in our dairy population despite substantial gains in milk yield represents a successful collaboration of different industry segments. Much of the credit for the improvement in udder health certainly goes to changes in management, milking routines and housing strategies. Quality bonuses that provide incentive to improve udder health have been a help. Scientists have developed novel traits like SCS for genetic selection, and type breeders have helped to improve udder conformation. Ultimately, it is our dairy producers who implement the genetic selection and management changes that have helped to protect the well-being of dairy cows as we select for higher yields.

Reviews of this property
The apartment is on a 4th floor, close to metro station. It's very nice and so clean... It's a good place:)
Sabine was so helpful and understanding, Thanks!
The room Sabine offers is clean, quite and its easy to reach downtown Munic from there as its not far away from the next subway-station but sadly Sabine is a moody host: the first evening she was friendly, talkative and even offered me to watch TV with her, the second evening she didnt even open the door while she was speaking to me from another room and she slammed doors while shouting with aggression to me because I had forgotten to turned off the light (... just for some minutes) in the bathroom we shared! This attitude of her made me feel quite uncomfortable staying there for the second night and I was happy to leave the following day! Also everybody should notice the check-out time is 9.00 o´clock in the morning (even on a German-Holiday!!) which isnt usual at all and not the norm worldwide and I may say so as I have traveled all over the world during my life! Conclusion: all in all I can not recomment the room due to the experiences I have made there with Sabine and her behaviour toward me as her guest ...
It's a great experience to stay in Sabine's place for me except the WiFi there which can't even be shown on my phone WiFi list. I don't know what's wrong with that. But it's important for a visitor.
Everything went smoothly, a nice and uncomplicated hostess and a cozy apartment

Lizbeth Brunswick - Patient Story
"The nurses at Fox Chase were fantastic and extremely compassionate."
— Lizbeth Brunswick
Beth Brunswick travels up and down the east coast from house to house working, fly fishing and enjoying life. Although she rarely sits still, Beth and Ed, her husband of 23 years, were relaxing in Florida in late February 2014. She noticed that her stomach was hard to the touch and was quite distended. "I thought this must be what it feels like to be pregnant," admitted Beth, who never had children. She would soon find out that the hard mass in her abdomen was an ovarian tumor.
While she had no symptoms, other than the distended stomach, Beth sought the attention of her primary care physician, who practices in Florida. The following day, Beth had a CAT Scan and was instructed to return to her doctor's office immediately. That's when Beth learned she had ovarian cancer. "To say I was shocked is an understatement," said the physically-fit 60-year old. "I had never been in the hospital and am rarely sick. Cancer wasn't in my radar."
Beth moved quickly and called her gynecologist, Susan I. Kaufman, DO, FACOG, in Cherry Hill, NJ, who suggested she meet with Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Chief, Gynecologic Oncology at Fox Chase Cancer Center. Beth made an appointment for the following week and flew to New Jersey to stay with her sister. Dr. Rubin had recently moved his practice to Fox Chase so Beth was his first patient. She brought her husband, her father and sister, Julie, to her appointment and immediately felt confident in their decision to come to Fox Chase.
"I knew I wanted Dr. Rubin at Fox Chase to guide me on this journey."
"Dr. Rubin is incredibly reassuring and calm, which was just what we needed. I knew I was in the best hands and wouldn't have considered going anywhere but Fox Chase," shared Beth. "Once he described my treatment plan, I knew I wanted Dr. Rubin at Fox Chase to guide me on this journey."
Unfortunately, this wasn't Beth and Julie's first trip to Fox Chase. "Our mother was treated here for pancreatic cancer," explained Julie. "Although she didn't survive, she was treated with dignity and respect throughout her treatment."
"The nurses at Fox Chase were fantastic and extremely compassionate."
On Friday, March 7, Dr. Rubin performed the delicate surgery to remove Beth's tumor, which had spread to the omentum (located in the stomach). She stayed in the hospital for three nights to begin her recovery process. "The nurses at Fox Chase were fantastic and extremely compassionate," noted Beth, who was impressed with their responsiveness.
Due to the advanced stage of her cancer, Dr. Rubin recommended a course of chemotherapy. Dr. Rubin is a surgical oncologist who also manages chemotherapy treatment for his patients. In April 2014, Beth began an 18-week course of treatment. While she was recovering from surgery, Beth's husband underwent spinal surgery in New York City. "It's been a tough time for us, but I look at this as a bump in the road," shared Beth, who believes her positive outlook on life will help her get through this journey.
During her treatment, Beth manages to work in New York, working private designer sales and coordinating wardrobe for her clients. "I love what I do and I love my life," beamed Beth, who will not let cancer treatment stand in the way of living her life. In May, she plans to take her niece and nephews to Spain.
In October 2016, Beth was a featured speaker at at the annual Laurel Society Dinner, an event that recognizes the most generous supporters of Fox Chase. She talked about the outstanding care she receives, her current chemotherapy treatment, and her trust in her doctor.
"I am confident in Dr. Rubin's ability to treat me," she said. "But I know that if this treatment is not effective, there may be a new drug on the horizon thanks to research."
"I am so pleased with my decision to come to Fox Chase for treatment."
"I am so pleased with my decision to come to Fox Chase for treatment," Beth added. "I would recommend Dr. Rubin and Fox Chase to anyone with cancer. He's the best there is."

The last census reported that approximately 363,000 Kiwis live alone. This number is expected to increase by two thirds over the next couple of decades, making one-person households the fastest growing.
The number of Kiwis travelling solo is also likely to take off, as singles temporarily wave goodbye to friends and families and take advantage of their holiday freedom.
Flight Centre New Zealand's executive general manager, Mike Friend, says going it alone is an increasingly popular trend, as singles make the most of their opportunity to go on holiday when, where and how they want.
"Travelling solo is invigorating and character-building, but it can also be intimidating and a little more costly than travelling with a friend or partner," Friend says.
"The good news is that steps can be taken to reduce the safety-related risks that may deter some solo travellers and to reduce costs, particularly when it comes to accommodation.
"In terms of safety, the rules are generally the same, whether you're travelling alone, with a friend or partner or as part of a broader group."
Flight Centre has compiled 10 helpful hints to help solo travellers prepare for their trips.
1. Beware the single supplement
Unfortunately, the average hotel won't offer you a single room - unless you're prepared to pay for it.
If you're travelling alone, chances are you will be offered a twin or double room and asked to pay a "single supplement".
This basically means you will pay twice as much as a sharer because you will pick up most or all of the cost of occupying a room for two.
2. Happy to share
Although solo travellers may not be able to avoid the dreaded supplement at hotels, the good news is that the travel industry is responding to their needs.
There are now huge numbers of singles' package tours, cruises and resorts offering singles' weeks.
To avoid the single supplement on tours, it is also common for tour operators to pair up people of the same sex to share accommodation.
3. Dormitories
If you don't mind sharing, an obvious way to avoid the single supplement is to stay in dormitory-style accommodation.
The other obvious advantage is that hostels and other similar establishments are great places to meet like-minded travel companions if you are keen to make new friends or to share part of your travel experiences.
To keep costs down, some organised tours now offer multi-share accommodation options. So you will be sharing a room, regardless of whether you're travelling alone or with a friend.
4. Plan ahead
No one is watching your back when you're travelling solo.
It's important to plan ahead, particularly when it comes to sightseeing, finding your way around and making your way to your hostel or hotel.
Work out in advance where you're staying and how to get there from your arrival at an airport, bus or train station.
If walking, map out a route and memorise key details. If you need to consult a map, be discreet.
Where possible, adjust your travel schedule to ensure you arrive at your location at a reasonable hour.
5. Dress down and blend in
When you're on the road, you probably don't need the Rolex and your full range of jewellery. Leave expensive items at home or locked away securely.
Where possible, try to blend in with the locals.
While out and about, store important documents securely and don't carry large amounts of cash.
6. Stay in touch
If you're on your own, it's crucial to stay in touch with friends and family. Let them know your itinerary - where you're going and where you're staying.
In addition, Kiwi travellers can register their details with Safe Travel and are encouraged to update their details while they are travelling.
7. Backpack
No one's watching your back, but someone may be watching your backpack.
On days when you're not travelling, lock it away in a safe and secure location in your hotel or hostel and take a smaller bag.
When travelling, try to keep your luggage as close to you as possible. If you need to put it down, loop it around your leg so it is not an obvious target for bag snatchers.
The other great luggage challenge for solo travellers is what to do with the suitcase or backpack when nature calls. If possible, take it with you.
8. Meal time
Seasoned solo travellers generally opt for busy eateries, rather than more intimate dining options. Books, laptops, Kindles and magazines are handy meal-time companions when you're travelling alone.
9. Social networking sites
Social networking sites can be a valuable source of information for solo travellers.
In 2010, Flight Centre acquired an 80 per cent interest in gapyear.com, a website that focuses on travellers taking off for a year's break between university and a new job.
Visitors to the site have access to useful articles and tips, in addition to touching base with travellers who are already embarking on similar journeys.
Airbnb and couchsurfing.com are other sites worth reading if you're travelling independently overseas.
10. Daytrips
If you plan to visit major tourist attractions, consider joining an organised day-trip. You may give up some of the freedom you desire, but you also remove some of the potential dangers associated with travelling solo.
11. And finally
Don't forget travel insurance. If your bags are lost or a health problem arises while you're travelling solo, nobody's automatically on hand to help you.
Insurance will be a valuable investment at a time of need.

We are a 501 (c) 3 Non-profit Organization, which means that all your donations are tax-deductible up to your personal tax limits. We are not Government funded. In fact, we do not receive any money from Government sources, so the burros depend entirely on you and your generous donations. Our Sanctuary is home to 215 wild burros (donkeys), mules, horses, dogs, cats and lots of wildlife.
Presently our Sanctuary is the only safe place for our animals. We hope that one day our wild burros and horses can return into the wilderness, the land that is rightfully theirs, to live free and safe on their own.
Currently, without Wild Burro Rescue, our animals have no place to go.
Our Sanctuary is located on 130 acres in the High Sierras on the foothill of Mount Whitney on Highway 395.

I bought a complete FAL spring kit from Midway.
It was pretty reasonable IIRC it was @$12
I figured if I'm going to do a build, I might as well start with new springs. The nice part is that each spring is individually packed and marked. As I used a spring, I put the old spring back in the pack and resealed it.
Now not only do I have all new springs in my build, I've got a spare which is easily identified.
A lot of these springs look very similar, so this is a big help. Best 12 bucks I ever spent.
Edit; I just checked the invoice the spring kit was only $10.79

Very nice location.Apartment very nice but felt like there was too much of the host's stuff about.Also on the 4th floor,with no elevator, a bit of a hike after a long day walking around. Easy for public transport.Just around the corner where you can pick up the number 21 bus to centrum station.Host was easy to contact.
Hanneke is really nice and helped us at all times, even during the stay she took care about us, if everything was correct.
Her apartment is perfect to rest after an exhausting days of walking, very clean and near the center.
If I have to go back to Amsterdam I know where I would like to stay.
We had a great time at Hanneke's Apartment which was very cosy and clean! It was super easy to get into the city and the contact was easy in english and very friendly!! Thank you!! we would love to stay there again :)
We had a Great Time at Hannekes Apartment. The contact was very friendly and everything was fine at the arrival. From her Apartment it is just a Journey of 10 Minutes to the centrum of amsterdam. Hanneke is a Great Host.
Very happy with our stay at Hanneke's apartment.
Area is great for fresh food available in supermarkets and handy for buses/trams to centre of Amsterdam and bus 15 to Station Zuid for train connection to Schiphol (journey took about 30 mins in total to airport).
Quiet and relaxing apartment with a lovely welcoming bottle of wine!
Very good and prompt communication from Hanneke.
Thank you!
Hanneke's apartment was just as advertised: bright, charming, 2 balconies (both with table and chairs), well equipped, close to local shops and well connected to
city centre and airport. Hanneke was friendly, helpful and available. A cosy home away from home, perfect for 2 people.
We had perfect three days in Amsterdam and in Hanneke's place! The apartment was clean and cosy. The tram and bus stops were found just behind the corner so it was easy to visit city centre. Hanneke was very kind and friendly host and we really can recommend her apartment for everyone! :)
We had a very nice time in a comfortable appartement!! It has been a wonderful weekend near to the city center and a very nice host. Thanks!! Every time again!!

So many are flying that the reduced entrance is jammed with all of the coming and going. Would they be doing orientation flights after being clustered for a while or just flying to eliminate outside the hive?

"It wasn't exactly like a sewer," he says, "but there were days that you would come in, especially the hot days and at low tide, and . . . all the fetid odors that you could imagine were just coming up, rising up from the banks."
Geake is walking along the river that he chronicles in his new book, A History of the Providence River: With the Moshassuck, Woonasquatucket & Seekonk Tributaries. Today, though, the foul-smelling river of his childhood is almost unrecognizable. It has been moved, uncovered, flushed of many of its pollutants, stripped of its wharves, and transformed from one of the city's most glaring embarrassments to one of its marquee attractions. In fact, on summer nights, people actually come to the river to inhale the sweet wood smoke that wafts up from WaterFire's crackling braziers.
Geake's tome is bookended by two men who floated up the river with big ideas: Rhode Island founder Roger Williams, who paddled around Fox Point with visions of establishing a religious haven on its shores in the 1630s, and former Providence mayor Buddy Cianci, who buzzed upstream in a motorized dinghy some 360 years later to officially dedicate a new park called "Waterplace," whose design echoed the city's old saltwater cove.
But it is the interim decades where Geake — an events coordinator for the Brown Bookstore, by day — spends most of his time. The Providence River story is a tale of commerce, he says, as we walk south toward the I-Way bridge, the Hurricane Barrier, and Narragansett Electric's South Street Power Station — all of which have a time in the book's spotlight. In the 1700s, the river was the city's gateway to far-flung ports in Russia, China, the Netherlands, and India. It was also the setting of one of the city's darkest chapters — Providence, Geake reminds readers in A History, was a bustling slave trading port that briefly topped Newport as the busiest in Rhode Island.
Hard as it may be to imagine now, the river was also a prime source of food production. Fish markets lined the river's banks up until the early 20th century. And in the previous century, oysters plucked from Narragansett Bay were harvested, packed, and shipped by the tens of thousands here. "At the foot of Washington Bridge, on either side, there were oyster plants," Geake says as we walk. "There was another one at the foot of Gano Street." In his book, he describes an "oyster saloon" in Providence where patrons could enjoy what a guidebook from the time described as "delicious bivalves, served in every style desired."
If there is a hero to Geake's story, it isn't Cianci or Williams or even the sailors and oyster shuckers who went home from their jobs on the river with sore muscles and bleeding hands (if they came home at all; many mariners left for sea on the Providence River and never returned). It is the legendary architect William Warner, who passed away last August. It was Warner, Geake writes, who in response to plans in the 1980s to pave still more of the Providence River, instead sketched a plan for moving the river 100 yards east and re-opening it with small, arched bridges. At the time, citizens and city officials sneered at this "Moses Plan." And yet the man persisted.

Lam Rising: FYQ1 EPS Beats, Q2 EPS View Tops Consensus
Shares of chip equipment maker Lam Research (LRCX) are up 89 cents, or 1.7%, at $53.10 in late trading after the company this afternoon reported fiscal Q1 revenue in line with analysts' expectations, and profit per share that topped consensus, and forecast revenue this quarter in line with consensus and profit per share higher.
Revenue in the three months ended in September rose 12%, year over year, to $1.01 billion, yielding EPS of 81 cents.
Analysts had, on average, been modeling revenue of $1.01 billion and EPS of 71 cents.
Shipments rose 9% from the prior quarter to $987 million.
Gross margin in the quarter was up a half a point from the prior quarter at 45%.
Further details are available in a supplementary deck of slides.
For the current quarter, the company sees revenue in a range of $1.1 billion, is in line with the average $1.1 billion estimate, while EPS may be in a range of 97 cents to $1.07 versus the consensus 93 cents.
During a conference call with analysts following the report, CEO Martin Anstice said the company had narrowed its outlook for total wafer fabrication equipment (WFE) spending by chip makers this year to a range of $28 billion to $30 billion, down from a range of $28 billion to $32 billion offered back in July. Anstice said some customers are not upgrading equipment for "logic" chip fabrication as quickly as expected as they reuse more of their existing equipment. He also said chip foundaries are not making as much investment in equipment for "trailing-edge" production as previously expected.

st: coding for McClements equivalence scale
Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:34:32 +0000 (GMT)
Dear all,
I using household survey data and I like to code my households according to the McClements adult equivalence scale (used in analysing income distribution). I wonder if there is a easy way to do this in Stata. My data looks like so:
Household Individual Age etc
1 1 23
1 2 8
2 1 55
2 2 etc
For the McClements scale we need a household income conversion coefficient as follows:
0.61 for adult1
0.39 for spouse
0.09 for dependent aged 0-1 year
0.18 for dependent aged 2-4 year
I will then divide the household income by that coefficient.
Can anyone help with easy way to implement this in Stata?
Many thanks.
Cindy Gao

Frank Diller
Renowned geneticist and broadcaster David Suzuki is a one-man environmental movement. But the author of more than 30 books, host of the Canadian TV series The Nature of Things, weekly syndicated columnist and founder and chair of his own environmental organization (www.davidsuzuki.org) knows that one person can do only so much.
In 1998, Suzuki wrote The Sacred Balance: Rediscovering Our Place in Nature, a celebration of humanity's essential relationship to the natural world and an end-of-century call to preserve the environment for future generations. He recently returned to the project with a four-part television series (broadcast in September on PBS and now available on DVD); a companion book to that series, The Sacred Balance: A Visual Celebration of Our Place in Nature; and a Web site (www.sacredbalance.com) featuring series information and conservation suggestions.
Taking time out from his travels across Canada, Suzuki fielded a set of e-mail questions from the Scientists' Bookshelf in early November.
In The Sacred Balance, you identify seven items that are essential for human beings: earth, air, fire, water, biodiversity, love and spirituality. You transcend the standard definitions of these elements (for example, you describe love in both biological and cultural terms) to offer a more holistic approach to the environment. What led you to this worldview?
In the late 1970s, I did an interview with a young activist named Guujaaw, who is now president of the Haida Nation. Guujaaw had led a battle against clear-cutting in Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia) for several years. I knew that the Haida had 80 percent unemployment and that many of the loggers were Haida. So I knew they needed the jobs and asked what difference it made if the trees were all logged. His answer was that if the trees were all cut, then he wouldn't be Haida anymore, he'd just be like everybody else. With that simple reply, he opened a window on a radically different way of looking at the world.
He was telling me that being Haida means being connected to the land in a way very different from the dominant society. In the years that followed, I encountered many indigenous people in North and South America, Africa, Borneo, Papua New Guinea and Australia, and always the sense of connectedness to the land was the same. Native people refer to the Earth as our mother and tell us we are made of the four sacred elements: earth, air, fire and water. On reflection, I realized that they are absolutely right and that science corroborates their insights. We are created by the air, water, earth and sunlight. This is not some new scientific breakthrough; it is simply recognition of ancient knowledge.
I wrote that up in my book The Sacred Balance, and as I wrote, I realized that the miracle of life on this planet is that the web of life, biodiversity, is responsible for creating, cleansing or replenishing the four sacred elements. Plants created the oxygen-rich atmosphere and continue to do so; trees, plants, fungi and bacteria filter water and render it potable. All of our food was once alive, and most comes from the soil, which in turn was created by life; and all of our fuel—the energy in our bodies and in flame—was created by photosynthesis. Our biological nature dictates that we have an absolute need for clean air, clean water, clean soil, clean energy and the biodiversity to deliver those elements to us.
Abraham Maslow showed us that we have a nested series of needs. Once we fulfill our immediate basic biological needs, then our social needs emerge, and the most fundamental need we have as social animals is love. Children who are fed, clothed and sheltered but are never hugged, kissed and told they are loved are fundamentally crippled, physically and psychically. They die like flies. We need love to learn how to love, to empathize, to be a part of the human family. To maximize that need, we have to have strong families and communities free of chronic high levels of unemployment, hunger, poverty, injustice, insecurity, terror, war and genocide.
When we have met our social needs, then we need spirit. We need to know that we are not in charge, that we are a part of the natural world and that there are sacred places. I believe that if these needs are not met, we cannot realize our full potential and achieve happy, healthy, meaningful lives.
In your new book, you touch on the problems associated with regulating a product before fully understanding its environmental impact. You cite the risks caused by the pesticide DDT and chlorofluorocarbons before noting that "There is no reason to doubt that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) will also have unexpected effects."
As a geneticist, how would you approach the development of genetically modified foods?
I am shocked at how little my colleagues in genetics pay attention to history. They actually forget how ignorant we are—that although we have achieved incredible manipulative powers, we know next to nothing about the real world in which those manipulations will reverberate.
Science does not proceed in a linear fashion the way we write up our grant applications, you know—experiment A leads to experiment B to C to a cure for cancer. So all of the supposed benefits of our manipulations are purely speculative. We don't know how it will all turn out. And then when we create new organisms, new products, and release them in the wild, in our food, in our drugs, we simply don't know enough to anticipate what the consequences will be.
I believe that until the science is mature—that is, until we can take a completely specified sequence of DNA, insert it at exactly a specified sequence in a recipient and predict completely its behavior—the science is not ready to be applied. When we can do that, we won't be able to publish, because we publish papers when we get results that we didn't expect. Last time I looked, the papers and journals in biotech were exploding. To me, it indicates we must not know a helluva lot. In any revolutionary area, most of our current ideas are wrong. That's how science proceeds—by invalidating, altering and discarding our current ideas. What we believed in 1961 when I graduated with a Ph.D. in genetics seems ludicrous today, and so will today's ideas in 20 years.
So what is the rush to apply ideas that will prove to be irrelevant or wrong? Money, of course.
How would you rate the environmental policies of the current U.S. and Canadian governments?
I think the current U.S. government is the most ecologically destructive government we've ever seen. [President George W.] Bush has an agenda that does not allow for the inclusion of scientific advice; his actions are based on ideology. So although fossil fuels are finite, more than half in the United States comes from foreign governments, and there are enormous repercussions for climate change.
Bush has taken the most shortsighted, self-destructive policy going to ensure a continued supply and dependence on foreign oil and exacerbation of climate change. What is egregious is the way information is being twisted to exclude serious scientific discussion.
Canada's record is not that great, but to his credit, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien did ratify the Kyoto Protocol despite enormous pressure from the United States not to.
In the new book, you describe how your childhood explorations of a swamp introduced you to biology, and you note that "The endless variety and surprise of nature that enthralled me as a boy have been replaced by the glitter of our own creations—electronic games, shopping malls, and the virtual world of the Internet." Your foundation (www.davidsuzuki.org) and TV series (www.sacredbalance.com) have established their own virtual spaces. What are the potential benefits and drawbacks of this technology for the environmental movement?
If the series can capture excitement that leads to an exploration of the real world, I would be delighted. The problem is that television is a virtual world. Even the best nature programs are not reflections of the real world, they are fabrications. We send a cameraman to remote places to try to get the best shots over a period of months. Those shots are edited together to give an impression of nature on steroids, hopped up with exciting action. But in the real world, nature needs time to reveal herself. Television cannot tolerate that time, so we create a nature for viewers that doesn't exist and expectations that nature cannot deliver.
In the introduction to The Sacred Balance (1998), you write:
[T]his has been the decade in which the media have dismissed environmental issues as matters of minor interest. . . . The media mantra, repeated over and over, is that the real bottom line must be the marketplace, free trade and the global economy. When the media are dominated by wealth and large corporate interests, this economic faith is like religious dogma and is seldom challenged.
Do you think that media coverage of the environment has changed over the last five years?
Yes, programs and articles are fewer and fewer and more superficial.
Folks in media have the attention span of a hummingbird and are bored with what they see as repetitive environmental stories. The problem, too, is that stories are reported as if there is no connection between them. So a drought in southern Alberta, forest fires in northern Alberta, pine beetle outbreaks in British Columbia (winters are too warm to kill them) and smog in Toronto are stories that are reported as if there is no connection.
Are there stories that are being covered effectively?
No. Compare coverage of the World Scientists' Warning to Humanity (November 1992), in which more than half of all Nobel laureates suggested we may have as little as 10 years to avoid an ecological catastrophe, with coverage of O. J. Simpson, Princess Diana and Bill and Monica.
What do you think are some of the most important stories not being covered by the media?
I think there is not enough of a critical analysis of the fact that the way the economists see the world is destructive. Economists "externalize" most of the natural world—biodiversity, ozone layer, fossils, water, topsoil and so on. The "services" performed by nature are not accounted for in our economic system, so that a tree, for example, is seen as having no value until money is spent to watch it (ecotourism) or cut it down. Economics is based on the enormous creativity and productivity of human beings, and so it is assumed that steady growth is possible (which it is not) and necessary! No one asks the important questions, such as what is an economy for, how much is enough, is it providing what people really need.
What do you consider to be the highlights of your various careers as a broadcaster, scientist and writer?
My highlight as a scientist was establishing that temperature-sensitivity is a useful property of mutations in Drosophila, which allowed all kinds of experiments to be done in neurobiology and development.
In broadcasting, A Planet for the Taking and The Sacred Balance are television series of which I am very proud. In radio, It's A Matter of Survival and From Naked Ape to Superspecies were important series, as was Quirks and Quarks, the long-running weekly radio series that I originated and hosted.
As a writer, I am very proud to have been a weekly columnist for 12 years and to have never missed a deadline. The columns became collections that were best-sellers (four in all). I am proud of every book I've ever published.

U.S. Response to the Global HIV/AIDS Epidemic
HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact on countries, communities, and families around the world. Through a variety of Federal programs, the United States provides much-needed assistance and education to the countries most heavily affected by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
In 2003, the U.S. launched PEPFAR to prevent HIV transmission and treat those affected by HIV/AIDS in areas of the globe most devastated by the epidemic. The initial legislation approved up to $15 billion over 5 years, to be spent in the 15 countries with the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence. PEPFAR is administered by the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator.
In 2008, PEPFAR was reauthorized for an additional five years (2009-2013). The reauthorization allocated up to $48 billion and added another five countries. The 20 current focus countries include: Botswana, Cambodia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Guyana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Russia, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Vietnam, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.
U.S. Agency for International Development - HIV/AIDS
USAID, an independent Federal government agency that works under the guidance of the Department of State, supports long-term economic growth and is a key partner in PEPFAR.
CDC - Global HIV/AIDS Programs
Working through PEPFAR, physicians, epidemiologists, public health advisors, behavioral scientists, and laboratory scientists affiliated with the CDC collaborate with Ministries of Health and other partners to combat HIV/AIDS in more than 70 countries in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and the Caribbean.
Health Resources and Services Administration - Coordinated International Collaborations
HRSA's global HIV/AIDS efforts focus on clinical system-strengthening and developing human resources for health.
HHS - World AIDS Day
Observed each year on December 1st, World AIDS Day provides governments, national AIDS programs, faith organizations, community organizations, and individuals with an opportunity to raise awareness and focus attention on the global AIDS epidemic.

I was in Wien in March, the house is 1 minute to the tube station and in 10 minutes you can get the City centre. There is a small shop near the flat perfect to buy food. The flat is quiet and clean and Katherine was very helpful and friendly with us.
Landlord - Helpful and good communication. Detailed instructions to get there provided without asking. Apartment - Looks new and comfortable with good heating. The only thing missing is an oven in case you need to bake a cake or lasagne. Otherwise, it is completely furnished, from coffee machine, microwave oven to fridge. Location - Very convenient. 5 mins to the city center. The U-Bahn station is literally just 30 steps from the main door and there's a convenient store right next to it. It's already on my fave list.
Great location and perfect appartment for families.
Perfect location, welcoming host and good value for money .. The kitchen had everything you need.. We had minor issues like the heater in the living room worked for one day then didn't work again but the heater in the bedroom was strong enough to reach the living room, also the bathroom didn't have soap. In general we enjoyed our stay in the apartment and may come back again :)
Very bad price quality blance.
The bed was not the one on the picture, it was in a significantly worse condition, old and quite noisy.
The flat as such and the overall hygiene were alright, but if the check out is supposed to be at 10am, it ought to be 10am. Nonetheless, at 9.40am the cleaning woman entered the flat to change bed sheets, towels, etc. Worst thing was that she stayed inside the apartment, and wouldn't leave. Unacceptable, and needless to say that we had never before experienced such a situation.
As for the location, the flat is close to the Prater park, but quite far from the city centre (45 mins walking!). The area is definitely not the nicest in Vienna either.
The apartment is very well. This is very new and well connected. Very close to the amusement park in Vienna. You have a metro stop right in front of the apartment. Walter was very kind to us. Highly recommended to spend a few days in Vienna. Thanks for everything.
Transport possibility super, flat all right, friendly acceptance. Worth it.
The apartment has perfect location. It's near the metro station which if you want can walk to the inner city center. Walter and Birgit are great hosts, they are very kind people. I will advise this flat to my friends who want to visit Vienna. Danke schön.
Everything was very good. The apartment is well located, just two minutes to the railway station, and no more than 15 minutes to the city center.
All is very clean!And the kitchen is big enough to have 6 persons to eat together.
If we come back to Vienna, we will not hesitate to choose the same apartment.
Birgit, many thanks for your hospitality!

Movie Review: John Carter
John Carter isn't terrible. But it never shakes us, sweeps us up or transports us with its own unique vision.
Director: Andrew Stanton
MPAA Rating: PG-13
Studio: Walt Disney Pictures
Since the '30s, Hollywood has been trying to make a movie out of pulp maestro
Edgar Rice Burroughs' 1917 A Princess From Mars, the kickoff to the author's dozen or so installments of legendary John Carter of Mars interstellar adventure series.
Long decades of near-misses and canceled celluloid productions crushed the hopes of such film luminaries as Ray Harryhausen, John McTiernan, Tom Cruise, Robert Rodriguez and John Favreau and Looney Tunes director Rob Clampett. While other movie makers like George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and James Cameron went ahead and unofficially pilfered from Burroughs' stirringly imaginative, visionary books in the making of Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Avatar.
That's how rich, fun and spirited Burroughs' stuff is. Someone stumbling into John Carter might wonder what all the fuss is about. The gargantuan, frequently entertaining, but often lumbering, movie marks the dispiriting live-action debut of Finding Nemo and WALL-E director Andrew Stanton.
The film stars Taylor Kitsch (growly-voiced, appealing, but one-note enough to rival Keanu Reeves) as the heroic, mysterious, pacifist Civil War captain who was swept mysteriously to the soon-to-be-extinct planet called (by its four-armed, giant green inhabitants) Barsoon.
Once there, our war-weary hero gets swept up in yet another, even more confusing war. He wins over a sword-wielding, battle-ready princess (Lynn Collins) whose father (Ciaran Hinds) has promised her hand to a villainous conqueror (Dominic West) who is ruled by an even more villainous shape-shifter (Mark Strong). As if all this wasn't confusing enough, there are not one but two framing stories.
One of them involves an 1870s Army officer (Bryan Cranston, wearing an awful blond wig) trying to enlist Carter's help in slaughtering Indians; the other has Daryl Sabara, as a young Edgar Rice Burroughs, inheriting his uncle's sprawling estate, fortune and diaries. What had every right to be a jaw dropping, brilliantly original, breathless Saturday matinee was full of good intentions that fell flat. And cheesy. Some of the dialogue by Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon is intelligent and fun, but jeez Louise, this thing is long, repetitive and constantly screeches to a halt courtesy of blah-blah-blah exposition that's as murky as the pointless 3D.
John Carter isn't terrible. But it never shakes us, sweeps us up or transports us with its own unique vision. Maybe they'll get things right in a promised sequel, but with production costs rumored to be around $250-million, it's best not to hold our collective breath.

Submit your email address below to receive email updates from Cumbria24.
Cumbria's top public health doctor is asking the government's Attorney General to consider forcing private health clinics to help women who have been given PiP breast implants.
Professor John Ashton, Cumbria's Director of Public Health, is writing to Dominic Grieve urging him to clarify the law around private clinics which have used sub-standard breast implants.
Although clinical evidence so far has not shown that PiP implants are at greater risk of rupture than other breast implants, their substandard make-up means women should be entitled to have them removed or replaced by the clinics which provided them.
Professor Ashton said: "This is not just a moral duty, but a legal one, and it is irrelevant whether the clinic in question is personally at fault for the product failure.
"I want to stress from the start that all the clinical evidence so far shows that women with PiP implants are at no greater health risk than those who have received other breast implants.
"What is beyond doubt though is that PiP implants have been made with cheaper materials for which they were never designed.
"If you buy a sub-standard product from a shop, the shop has a legal duty to replace it with a better one or give you your money back. The same rule should apply to private medical products.
"These cheque-book clinics were happy to carry out this procedure with sub-standard breast implant products for thousands of pounds at a time.
"Just like any other seller of substandard goods they should be legally bound to rectify the problem. The refusal of some clinics to help their patients has left some of those women worried and confused. I do not think it is fair to the taxpayer or other NHS patients for the NHS to foot the bill.
"It is totally unfair and unrealistic to expect every woman in Cumbria who has been sold these implants to go through a lengthy and expensive legal process to have their implants replaced.
"That's why I am asking the nation's lawyer to consider taking action to bring these cheque-book clinics to task and force them to act.
"If they refuse, their license to practice surgery in this country should be removed."
Detailed advice for women with PiP breast impants is available at www.nhs.uk (http://www.nhs.uk/news/2012/01January/Pages/government-review-advises-on...)

It will take awhile. But with a GOOD DC, teams will start to figure out how to defesne the schemes being deployed by the Washington Redskins.
same thing happened with the Wildcat. Eventually teams figured out how to play against it effectively.
What RGIII did to the Giants, he also did to the Cowboys, as witnessed last night.
I truely think defenses (THAT HAVE A SMART DC THAT IS) will be better prepared next year with plenty of tape to watch and prepare against.
Players must remain disciplined and remain in their lanes and not overpersue and get caught out of position. Each DL and LB player needs to be aware of who they are responsible to defend. Too frequently Giants were out of position or looked confused or not set.
That is a lack of preparation and adjustments.

Can someone explain to me when and how to use a queen cell protector
Jay T
Can someone explain to me when and how to use a queen cell protector
Jay T
After the queen cells are sealed you take the cell off of the cell bar, install the cell protector, then the cell protector must be put into a special frame for holding a bunch of cells. You will notice that the cell protectors have an open bottom, this open bottom is sealed off when you put it into the special plastic frame (storage bar). This set-up would be used when the cells are in the finisher colony to keep a stray virgin from killing all the cells. It happens more than you would think!
If you have your queen cells in an incubator you wouldn't need them unless you were unsure of when emergence would occur.
I've never heard of a cell protector like muskrats.
when I think cell protector I'm thinking about individual protectors an individual queen cell into when introducing into a hive where you haven't found the queen, it stops the old queen from killing the new queen in the cell.
It allows the virgin queen to hatch and then usually the 2 queens battle it our to see who stays.
You can use all sorts of things as cell protectors we use either small lengths of irrigation hose or tinfoil but lots of people will use commercial protectors which are fine if you are only doing a few cells but get expensive if doing hundreds.
having said that, In my opinion it's better to find the old queen and then introduce the queencell bare.

Cultstoppers.com, a site dedicated to educating Los Santos about the dangers of the Epsilon Program, has launched today. The site claims that five people sporting KIFFLOM sweaters were abducted in Los Santos by the Epsilon Program itself.
These five appear to be GTA fans from Twitter.

The Caribbean appears increasingly fragile as governments struggle to balance economies amid a pullback in traditional sources of foreign investment
For Peter Phillips, Jamaica's finance minister,
the outlook is grim: "Our debt to GDP ratio was 128% at the end

stranglehold on our capacity to fund vital social services as

Phillips is not alone: his counterparts across the region
are facing a similar set of challenges. Their weak, open
economies have borrowed increasingly to fend off the effects of
years of weak global growth. And it is becoming increasingly
hard for them to take on fresh debt as interest rates soar and
their creditability falls. Fiscal deficits are increasing and

hard pressed to meet local and foreign debt obligations.

Can Walmart Save the World?

Walmart is certainly a retailer that evokes many emotions. At the same time, the numbers are undeniable. Worldwide, more than 100,000,000 shoppers per week choose to spend their dollars there. The company could have a major impact on sustainability. Some corporate sustainability efforts can be fairly easily thrown into the cynical greenwashing file. And Walmart has certainly suffered reputational slings and arrows for many reasons, but when the largest retailer in the world dedicates itself to a serious sustainability agenda we should probably sit up and notice.

[quote user="Coach Carter"][quote user="Morehead State"][quote user="Coach Carter"][quote user="Morehead State"]
[quote user="Coach Carter"]So you are willing to trade the best pass-rushing end on the Giants and draft another defensive end? that would make us the Bills not the Giants - look at what they have been doing the past few years with running backs. Osi is a stud, give the man a bump in contract and see what he can do fully healthy. The guy has been playing on one leg, knee and hip for the past couple of years and have been very productive. You just don't find guys like that in the draft. I want a guard, tackle or center/guard with our first or second round pick. We need help on the inside. And I want a bruising running back.[/quote]
In a heartbeat.
Osi is a part time player for us.* He's the third best DE on the team.* It isn't a trade of Osi for a rookie.* (by the way I said that I want a RB).* Its an opportunity to free up almost $5MM in cap space.* Money that could be used to sign Victor Cruz and also help with room to sign the draftees and other FA's.
And we don't have the cap room to resign Osi.* I don't think (despite what the team line may be) its even a possibility.* I think its either trade Osi now, or keep him for the last year of his deal and then let him go.* Its not the end of the world if he stays and plays out his contract.* But I'd prefer he be traded now.
And you mention that he's been playing hurt.* Well he's hurt a lot and now he's passed 30.* Do you think an older version of Osi will be healthier than the younger version was?
[/quote] Yes I do. Osi had the hip procedure one year and the knee the next. Those were his two major ailments. With that resolved, you will see an element he did not have the last two years - the chase. Osi could not run after he did his initial burst up-field. Also, you have to stop with this "third best defensive end" nonsense. Osi is being compared to Tuck and JPP, these guys are (all around) all-pro and possibly future hall of fame defensive ends. Yet Osi is still the best PASS RUSHER on the Giants. It isn't like being third best overall defensive end is an insult, it is all relative. Unless you work for the Giants, I don't want to hear anything about cap space, where there is a will, there is a way. The Giants got to and won the superbowl because of their pass rush and it will remain that way.[/quote]
Numbers are numbers.* the cap is what it is.
"Where there's a will there's a way" is fantasy. You have to start cutting people in order to increase your cap space.* We have reconfigured all the contracts we can.
Osi is a great pass rusher.* Buts thats all he is.* He's one dimentional.* And he plays hard when he feels like it as well.
I really don't want to get into an argument about Osi.* This thread is about picking who you want in the draft vs. who you think we'll draft.
Do you have a position on this or not?[/quote]
I want to keep Osi, cut/trade Kiwi and draft a guard, tackle or center/guard. Osi being one dimensional is an oversimplification of his abilities. Stopping the run does not mean you make the tackle. Also, Osi lines up vs the best athlete on the o-line on most plays.
When you make cap space, you don't get rid of your best players.
A passing league means more passing, which means more need for a pass rusher. Pay the man, and stop with the hate.[/quote]
JPP in his 2nd year DOMINATED the way osi dreams he could. osi is not the best pass rusher on the team, he's the best off the edge i guess when he runs upfield and around the LT, but JPP has the quickness to incorporate that and has a much better bull rush and can split double teams, all this while he is still raw....Osi isnt one of our best players, he is one of our best role players but we have others who can fill that role. all that said, i'd rather osi retire a giant. our three DE's are LETHAL...
ok back to the game.
Should draft: receiving threat; K.Wright or Randle or Fleener whichever one of those 3 is available
Will draft: Kendall Wright (I think he's gonna be one of those players who should go way earlier but drops to us) He is a suped up MM. He can go deep, go over the middle, and take quick passes and get YAC.


text: The OL is not fine. They do a better job at pass blocking but have been struggling to block well when running the ball for over a year now. For every run you want to blame Bradshaw for not going the right way you can blame the OL 5 times for having defenders almost take the hand off from Eli. They ran the ball well playing from behind against Tampa and then hers are not a good team.

Advisor and Mentoring Programs
Do you have professional experience which could benefit students? Hastings students are eager to learn about "life after law school" from those who have "been there, done that!" Whether you are practicing law or using your J.D. in another way, here in the U.S. or around the world, we have students who would greatly appreciate the information and advice you can provide.
Alumni Mentor Program Director, Louise Francis (415) 565-4826, has information and can be reached by email: email@example.com. To participate in the Alumni Mentor Program, complete the Advisor Information Form and forward it to our Office of Career & Professional Development. Louise Francis will contact you.
The intent of the program is to match students with experienced professionals who will be role models and available to advise students on a range of topics. By providing students with contact with local lawyers and judges, the program gives students the opportunity to learn those things they need to practice law which they may not learn in an academic setting. Mentors assist students in defining and accepting their future roles as lawyers and serve as role models in dealing with clients, colleagues, the courts and the community.
Mentors are matched with law students interested in (or curious to learn more about) their area(s) of practice or nonlegal profession. The exact nature of the mentor relationship will be defined in different ways by each pair. For example, typical activities could include, among other things, discussions regarding what the daily practice of law is like in the mentor's practice area, mock interviews to help the student prepare for upcoming job interviews, going to court together, to local bar association meetings or special lawyering events, such as lectures and luncheons. Mentors also are encouraged to allow their students to shadow them for a few hours or half a day at their office, in court, at a hearing, oral argument, deposition, conference, etc. Other forms of mentoring are also acceptable, such as meeting for lunch or coffee, or just talking by telephone.
Please feel free to structure the program with your assigned student(s) to meet the needs of your practice and your available time. It is the quality of the relationship, not the quantity of time spent, that determines the success of the mentoring relationship.
Note: Because student interest in different practice areas varies from year to year, not all mentors will be matched every year. We hope, however, to keep the current mentor pool as large as possible to accommodate these fluctuations in student interest.
Alumni also may offer to conduct mock or informational interviews with students. Mock interviews can take place at Hastings or the alum's firm or place of business and should be conducted exactly as if the student were interviewing for a job. Generally, this would entail a 15-20 minute interview followed by 10-15 minutes of feedback on interviewing technique. This is a great opportunity for students to hone their interviewing skills. Informational interviews, on the other hand, allow students to question mentors regarding their experience, how they chose their particular practice area or specialty, what training they would suggest and what constitutes their daily routine. This practice helps students learn and feel more comfortable with networking, an essential skill for the job search process.
Preparation for judicial clerkships/externships
Judges and former clerks can play a key role in helping students prepare for the judicial clerkship application process by reviewing application materials, holding mock interviews with students and advising students on how best to position themselves for a successful application.
Career panels
Alumni can give students practical advice regarding the nature of their work and professional opportunities in their field by participating in panels hosted by the Office of Career & Professional Development. These career panels cover a wide range of career options, such as nonlegal careers, hot practice areas in the law and how to turn summer associate positions into permanent offers.
Office Tours and Receptions for First Year Students
Alumni and their firms/places of work can host small gatherings of first year students for an office tour and casual reception. This activity allows first year students to gain exposure to different legal workplace environments and to meet with alums in a relaxed atmosphere to discuss important issues such as choosing a particular practice area, firm life versus government practice, or legal versus nonlegal careers. If there are several Hastings alumni at one firm, they could jointly sponsor the event.
Other options
The list of options presented above is by no means meant to be exhaustive. Alumni will find that mentoring can be an extremely rewarding experience and can take a variety of different forms. We encourage you to explore other options which may not be presented here and let us know what is successful.
To participate in the Alumni Mentor Program: Complete the Advisor Information Form and email it to email@example.com.

Hacked up the tab-expansion code in Xchat. It was doing a rather lazy first-fit, and I kept talking to Greg Lehey's backup connection, groggy-B, instead of his primary connection, groggy-P. Attempts to modify his naming convention met with a stone wall of 'this is how we named things at Tandem, so it must be right.'
I also implemented a weighted selection; when you choose one amibguous definition over another it will prefer the one you just selected over all others. For instance, once you've addressed groggy-P in a message, the next time gr<tab> will select groggy-P over groggy-B and green.
I haven't decided if I like the weighting or not. I'll work with a few more days, make a decision, and contact the Xchat maintainer to see if he is interested in the patches. If not, I may add them to the BSD port/pkg kits.

Buying a bach is widely regarded as the Kiwi dream - and it's one that Hamiltonians Marie and Barry Nicholls fulfilled when they bought a place at Raglan.
About 12 years ago, the couple bought a charming cottage with great views of the estuary, despite it needing some work.
"The interior was a challenge, but luckily we like a challenge," says Marie.
Because money was tight, they made few changes to begin with but found that just removing the blinds and net curtains opened the house out to the view. "It was a small change," says Marie, "but one that transformed the feel of the bach."
Early on they also repainted all the rooms but it wasn't until quite recently that they made any structural changes. "Barry made the front three rooms of the bach into one open-plan dining/living area, and opened up the kitchen to the view," says Marie. "We pulled up the carpet and found beautiful tongue-and-groove floors underneath."
Creating the sort of interior look they liked was never going to be a problem given that Marie owns Zinnia, a store specialising in new and vintage homewares and gifts. While attending auctions to buy pieces for the shop, she also managed to pick up some great stuff for the bach too - leading to its retro look.
"It happened accidentally," says Marie. "The retro cane coolie chairs were found at church fairs for around $2. That started me on the retro theme. It was fun finding pieces to decorate with and one piece often led to another. Because there's only one bedroom, the 1960s bed-settee was a practical way to accommodate family and friends - for sitting and sleeping."
Marie has found many of her treasures locally at secondhand shops, antique stores and church fairs. "Before you know it, you have a collection," she laughs. A group of shell boxes is one of her favourites and they're complemented by a shell lamp bought at auction.
Not all of the items on display in the Nicholls' bach are vintage though. Some new pieces augment the retro collection, including a brilliant blue vase and bowl made by a local ceramicist.
Marie also has a few cushions made by Limited Vintage, a Kiwi company that uses recycled wool blankets and felt to create one-off cushion covers. Marie's favourite cushion is decorated with labels from old blankets. "It's a history of blanket-making in New Zealand."
Style tips:
Flight of fancy: Seaside baches lend themselves to marine themes. Marie has collected shell boxes and is building up a flock of ceramic seagulls that hangs above the door into the sun room.
Key colours: Using interior colours that reflect the
environment gives homes a relaxed, serene feel. The Nicholls use blue and white extensively to reflect the sea and sky.
Break out: While you might decide to theme a room or your house, don't stick too rigidly to it as different looks can still work together well.

Rhode Island's hip-hop community is mighty healthy and 2014 is shaping up to be another banner year for locally sourced lyricists. There are a number of homegrown must-hear acts primed to drop new material in the coming months, including the highly anticipated return of Sage Francis. We caught up with some of Rhody's finest for a mid-2Q rap report. And check back for full features on some of these deserving artists. Don't sleep — support local hip-hop!
In the past few months, hip-hop heads have been treated to new music from PVD-via-Burlington rhymer Mertz (mertzmusic.com) and his debut solo album, The Good In the Bad. Dynamic duo DirtyDurdie (dirtydurdie.com) have kept us sporadically fed with their excellent "throw-ups," spontaneous collaborations with notable local lyricists available for a limited time (free of charge). Revered RI rhymers such as Chachi Carvalho and Swann Notty have already hopped on tracks, plus the supremely slick-witted ESH the Monolith on "Special Bus."
ESH (eshthemonolith.bandcamp.com) got his start here over a decade ago before relocating to Allston, MA, two years ago, and has since joined forces with numerous emcees and producers from the Boston area (and beyond), including the Arcitype on their 2013 EP Nightworks (look up the new video for "Werewolves Anonymous"). ESH and Intrikit just released A Hitchhiker's Guide to a Verse under the name Loop Minded Individuals , with guest shots from Romen Rok, Moe Pope, Seez Mics, and many more. Cop the download or limited edition red cassette tape right now — this is an early entry for album of the year.
Juan Deuce (juandeuce.bandcamp.com) returned a few months ago with the superb six-cut EP Hi, Anxiety, which featured production from longtime partner Falside ("System" is an instant classic), who made the permanent move to NYC. Melon Meat is Fal's latest (and trippiest) installment in his "beat tape" series (just $5 each at falside.bandcamp.com), and word is Juan & Fal will re-up with the full-length debut Galapaghost slated to drop later this year.
Later this summer we will also get the return of Night Enders member Hayes (nightenders401.bandcamp.com), who released the thought-provoking u.s.A Cry for Help late last year with production from 8th Wundah, and just released a video for the new single "Entering Providence." Be on the lookout for an album release show in mid-August at Dusk.
Sean Sbardella aka Meta P (metap.bandcamp.com) will drop Evolution of the White Wolf this summer (Brooklyn phenom Block McCloud recently signed Meta to his Disturbia Music Group). The Barrington-bred emcee just filmed a video for the album's first single, "Evolution," at Dusk. Meta is a natural-born performer and borderline batshit-crazy onstage; he recently slayed crowds opening for Slaine in Newport (one of the most memorable hip-hop shows I've seen — such a blast) and Mobb Deep at Simon's 677. Also look up his Poison Man collabo with Mayhem and DJ John Gotem. Sbardella recently moved back to the Provy area and we I-talians are calling out all you rappers now for his backyard bocce league. Come get some!
