You would think that after playing intelligence analyst Ruth Evershed in BBC spy series Spooks for seven years, Nicola Walker would be able to get to grips with a few simple sums. However, in the English National Theatre's adaptation of Mark Haddon's best-seller, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time, she plays the mother of teenage savant Christopher Boone who, despite his constant behavioural problems, boasts a prodigious gift for numbers.
"I've got a bit better since I started doing the show but I'm absolutely appalling at maths," she laughs. "On the first day of rehearsals, we all had to say how good we were at it and impressively the room was split 50/ 50 between those of us who were dreadful and those that said that they adored maths because it's like the purest language."
The latest in a long line of much-loved books that have been turned by the National into successful stage productions, Curious Incident screens in Auckland cinemas as part of this year's NT Live season.
Scripted by seasoned playwright Simon Stephens and directed by War Horse's Marianne Elliott, it begins with Christopher resolving to find out who killed his neighbour's dog, Wellington, before embarking upon a hazardous trip to London to track down his errant mother. It's a thrilling journey brought brilliantly to life through the cutting edge use of lights and film.
"It's got a cinematic quality to it but it's not trying to be like a movie and that's one of the reasons why it really works," says Walker. "It feels like it's joyfully embracing the theatrical parts of the book.
Christopher's version of how a play works is laid out for you with props being pulled out of the floor. The video-scape is quite cinematic but the way we interact with it is really theatrical so it's like a really lovely marriage of the two mediums. We're doing things in the play you couldn't do in a film because people would say it was too avant-garde. I think it feels honest and true; like we're trying to tell the story."
Boasting a cast that includes Una Stubbs as nosy neighbour Mrs Alexander and Niamh Cusack as teacher and narrator Siobhan, Walker is full of praise for Luke Treadaway's excellently measured performance as the intensely troubled but hilariously affectionate Christopher.
"He's a phenomenal actor," she says. "He has a very lonely time on stage and is very much on his own. We're a really tight group off-stage but once the play starts running, Christopher doesn't touch or make eye contact with anybody and if he does it's a painful and frightening experience. I can't imagine what that is like, because one of the ways in which you survive in a show like this is through looking at the other actors but Luke is completely alone.
"I'm a big fan and I've told him I'm always going to be in the front row of whatever he does next, like some strange middle-aged, stalking lady fan."
Presumed dead by Christopher, Walker's character Judy is a distant presence for most of the first half as she waits a considerable time before making a dramatic entrance.
"It was Marianne's decision not to bring me on earlier, as I could have come on as part of the ensemble group, which helps manifest Christopher's world from the very beginning," says Walker.
"But Marianne decided that until Christopher finds her letters, she doesn't exist in his head. It makes sense to me but it was difficult at first, so I've learnt not to get ready too early. If I get ready when everybody else does, I'll end up sitting in my dressing room for half an hour, staring out the window and just getting nervous. So now I get ready when I hear that the show's up."
Having abandoned Christopher and run off to London, Judy's apparently selfish actions don't immediately endear her to the audience. "I didn't have a child when I first read the book a few years ago but I have one now so I find it easier to sympathise with her," says Walker. "But that's just typical of how until you've actually experienced something like that, you're probably going to be more judgmental about it.
"We talked a lot about it in rehearsal and as a mother I felt very angry towards her for ages. I thought it was appalling that she should have left her son but I gradually came to understand their relationship and the incredibly difficult time their family has been through. She's so full of self-pity, guilt and love that she can't express that towards her son."
Ultimately, Walker hopes that audiences will make up their own minds. "I know actors always say this but it isn't my job to defend her or sentence her guilty," she says.
"I'm just meant to try and be her. I do understand her and why she did it now but that's as far as I need to go to be her on stage."
Soon to be seen in BBC drama Last Tango in Halifax, Walker was sad to see Spooks come to an end after almost a decade.
"It was a big part of my life," she says.
"I wanted Ruth and Harry to have a happy ending and to somehow sail off into the sunset together. But of course it's Spooks, so that wasn't going to happen, but I think they were right to do that."

All you need to know about best flat screen TV
All you need to know about best flat screen TV
LCD screens are amazingly bright, the best to view in dark lighting conditions. Sharp has also incorporated the X-Gen 1080p panel along with the UltraBrilliant Edge-Lit LED backlighting. So when choosing a flat screen, it is highly recommended to chose the one that is HD ready over an HD capable TV Because of the convenience that it offers to the consumers. CostsThe costs vary from style to style and from option to option. The difference in pricing is getting smaller, however. The IPS technology ensures that you enjoy vivid and clear motion picture from any angle. It didn't take long to ship and I was ready to start putting my plan to action. It should be clear and precise. If you are like me, you probably have a couple of LCD screens at home that are simply wasting space.
The 30 inch flat screen plasma or LCD can be purchased for around $800 and in some sales, they go for as little as $600. Production of some TVs have led to environmental problems because off greenhouse gases emitted during production. When electricity passes through the crystals, tiny color pixels light up to produce an image. A entertainment center is a great place for a television to sit, the mount sits inside or on top of the entertainment unit. This will require special wall anchors, but this hardware is usually included with most wall mount hardware kits supplied with the mount. Wherever you place it, there will stay from then on. Have you decided to buy a flat screen TV but don't know where to start to find one that's right for you? Are you trying to figure out which models are the best flat screen TV's out there?I've been in this boat and felt overwhelmed when walking into showrooms looking at dozens and dozens of TV's.

A Hybrid Technology That Can Pay for Itself
Buying a hybrid is currently a pastime for early adopters and those who are prepared to pay to salve their environmental conscience . Do the return-on-investment (ROI) math and you'll realize that the fuel savings never bridge the economic rationale gap because of the higher initial cost of hybrids. That appears about to change! Ultra-capacitor-based energy storage systems have long promised a breakthrough for the automotive industry and AFS Trinity's announcement of the real world performance specs of its plug-in hybrid system is landmark. The company's patent-pending Extreme Hybrid (XH) technology employs a proprietary dual energy storage system that combines Lithium-Ion batteries and ultra capacitors with control electronics. In just completed road tests, a 2007 Saturn VUE Green Line SUV fitted with an XH drive train, exceeded 150 mpg, and improved the zero to sixty time from 12.5 seconds, to 11.6 second running in electric-only mode -- something it can do for 40 miles at a stretch. The punchline is that in hybrid mode, it runs 0-60 mph in 6.9 seconds, which is faster than a Porsche Cayenne. Whatsmore, based on driving 340 miles a week, the company's consumer payback analysis suggests the technology will pay for itself in less than four years -- this appears to be the first economically viable, commercially-available hybrid auto technology.
Plug-in hybrids offer the prospect of dramatically extending the all-electric vehicle (EV) mode of hybrid vehicles which can be recharged using grid electricity (typically overnight using discounted off-peak power) and several NAIAS announcements indicated that after years of recalcitrance, Toyota looks set to produce a plug-in, roughly at the same time as Toyota's arch rival, GM. On available info, neither appear close to the performance of the AFS Trinity system.
"Extreme Hybrids don't need high priced technology and don't require new or expensive fuels, such as hydrogen, which, according to Argonne National Labs, will cost twice as much as gasoline at the pump and require installation of an infrastructure costing half a trillion dollars. The Extreme Hybrid is not a concept," said AFS Trinity CEO Edward W. Furia, "but a practical alternative that relies on cheap electricity from America's vast existing energy infrastructure--the electric power grid." Furia also pointed to a recent U.S. DOE study that concluded sufficient excess electrical generating and transmission capacity exists today during off-peak hours in America's power grid to recharge 84% of America's light duty car, truck and SUV fleet -- 184 million vehicles -- even if they were all converted to plug-in hybrid drive trains. The Extreme Hybrid tests just completed at Michelin's Laurens Proving Grounds in South Carolina produced...more than 150 miles per gallon of gasoline based on the EPA Combined Urban/Highway Driving Cycle with 6 days per week of 40 miles per day in all electric mode and one day at 100 miles with assistance of the gas engine. Different driving patterns will produce different results...40 mile all-electric range on a single, overnight charge...Extended range of 400 miles with hybrid operation...rapid acceleration in all modes of operation, including all electric mode in which no gasoline is burned at all...highway speeds up to 87 miles per hour in either all electric or hybrid mode...Even faster acceleration and higher speeds possible in future production models should the company decide to configure them for such performance. "Keep in mind that these results were not in a small two-seater, but in a medium-size family SUV designed to support a serious supermarket run or a family's weekend recreational activities," Furia said. According to Furia, the next step for AFS Trinity is to license its breakthrough technology to carmakers who want to incorporate the XH drive train into their vehicles. "That would be our preference," said Furia. "However," he continued, "If carmakers decide not to take advantage of this offer, AFS Trinity intends to raise the funds to begin modifying existing hybrids or manufacture its own 150 mpg SUV's and, eventually, 250 mpg sedans. We believe such production models could be available for sale in three years." Furia explained, "The SUVs that we just completed that were outfitted with the XH drive train could have been any SUV made by anyone. The XH is a new generation of plug-in hybrid drive train ready to multiply the gas mileage of any SUV or any standard sedan." "In spite of growing popularity of hybrid vehicles," Furia said, "none of them have delivered gasoline savings sufficient to repay the purchase price premium of the hybrid system during the useful life of the vehicle. With the Extreme Hybrid that is about to change." Extreme Hybrid technology in commercial production is expected to cost around $8,700 more than current, gas-only SUV's. "However, if the price of gasoline is, say, $2.85 per gallon, XH gasoline cost savings could repay the purchase price premium in 3.5 years," Furia said. "The higher fuel prices go, of course, the faster the premium is repaid. At a price of $5 a gallon, which is the price already being paid in parts of the world, the premium could be repaid in less than three years and the savings would continue to grow. Tax and other incentives could accelerate this process." The technology that made these results possible came from the former space and atomic energy scientists at AFS Trinity's Livermore, California, laboratory with integration of the technology into the American SUVs made possible by respected global automotive engineering leader, Ricardo. "This has been a collaboration of rocket scientists and car guys," Furia said. "They have taken the best from aerospace and computer science as well as automotive engineering to produce in a very short time frame and largely with off-the-shelf components a working vehicle prototype in which the XH plug-in hybrid drive train has been demonstrated in a family-size SUV." Furia said, "The Extreme Hybrid drive train is an economical solution to the high cost of gasoline, the dangers of oil dependence and the environmental damage caused by too much gasoline being used to travel too few miles." "This is a time in automotive development where many promises have been made and a wait-and-see attitude has developed," Furia said. "The XH-150 is not a promise but a fact with 'tires to kick.' The XH-150 does not require exotic or controversial fuels, it works within the present energy infrastructure, and components are available off-the-shelf at reasonable prices -- prices that will only drop lower as volume demand increases. Just as important, XH production vehicles are capable of being built now at prices many people can afford."
"Addressing the central limitations of chemical batteries was critical to creating the Extreme Hybrid," Furia explained. "Batteries work best when they provide a slow, steady flow of electricity. Offering enough power for fast acceleration is difficult and damaging to batteries, and this is especially true as batteries become deeply discharged."
"The most common solution is to employ many more batteries and simply shallow-discharge them, which is impractical for all but expensive, exotic vehicles. Instead, the Extreme Hybrid accesses AFS Trinity's long history of developing Fast Energy solutions for NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense and others. At the heart of this new Fast Energy technology are patent pending control electronics to cache power for short periods in ultra-capacitors and provide this power in bursts for all-electric acceleration that is better, in many cases, than the internal combustion engine of the host vehicle," Furia said. "Until the Extreme Hybrid, hybrids have resorted to gasoline to satisfy acceleration demands." According to Furia, one reason carmakers have resisted plug-in hybrids has been reports of some isolated, but troubling fires involving lithium batteries in laptops that were pushed beyond thermal limits. "All devices through which currents are drawn experience some resistive heating, including all types of batteries. Batteries can be safe if they avoid excessive resistive heating. By using ultra-capacitors as pools of rapid energy," Furia explained, "the proprietary control electronics of the Extreme Hybrid not only keep the batteries within safe resistive heating limits, but also extend battery life. We regard XH technology as an important safety breakthrough, which is a critical factor in making Extreme Hybrids practical now." "Gasoline mileage is calculated by using average American driving patterns estimated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and simulating the EPA combined urban/highway driving cycle of the host vehicle operating only with its conventional hybrid drive train. In 2003, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported that 78% of Americans drive less than 40 miles a day. On those days, drivers of Extreme Hybrids will need no gasoline at all even driving an SUV," Furia said. "Say someone drives 40 miles a day 6 days a week and 100 miles the seventh. That's 340 miles a week. The first 280 are electric. The next 60 miles use gas. That's 340 miles on a little more than two gallons of gasoline for the week, assuming 32/29 urban/highway mileage in the host unmodified hybrid SUV. Although this translates into 170 MPG, we use a more conservative 150 MPG to take into account that mileage will vary depending on where and how a car is driven, but we are comfortable that 150 miles per gallon of gasoline is a good number." ABOUT AFS TRINITY AFS Trinity is a privately-owned Delaware corporation headquartered in Bellevue, WA, that is developing Fast Energy Storage and power systems for vehicular, spacecraft and stationary power systems utilizing batteries, ultracapacitors, and flywheels.

Amanda Erickson's brief history of the parking meter is fascinating, not least because it illustrates a point that many business owners and public officials misunderstand today: low turnover of parking spaces is bad for business.
What was once the transportation mode for the rich has become de rigueur for the masses. Streets meant for horse and buggy now needed to transport hundreds of cars to and from work every day. Then, of course, there was the question of parking. By the 1920s, downtown shop owners had begun to complain in earnest about the parked cars left by workers during the day.
Without proper infrastructure, shoppers had no place to stop; as a result, business was dropping rapidly.
This was a problem in cities across America. But no place was quite so innovative as Oklahoma City.
There, storekeepers turned to newspaperman Carl C. Magee (who, we should note, is also famous for uncovering the Teapot Dome Scandal in New Mexico and shooting a corrupt judge in a fight in Las Vegas). Magee had his own ideas, but he also sponsored a contest calling for designs of a timing device that would allocate set amounts of time for parking. The winner – the Black Maria – was based on a machine created by Magee and Gerald A. Hale. Hale and Magee formed the Magee-Hale Park-O-Meter Company. The first meter was installed on the southeast corner of First Street and Robinson Avenue on July 16, 1935.
The totally mechanical devices required a nickel each hour and were placed at 20-foot intervals along the curb, on the spaces painted on the pavement.
Like most parking decisions, this one stirred up controversy from the start. Drivers were outraged, calling the meters a tax on their right to own vehicles. But they parked at the metered spots anyway because it was where they could find a spot.
Soon, it was difficult to find a spot without meters. Storekeepers clamored for them, and city officials were none-too-disappointed by the extra revenue.
Of course it's also possible to set meter rates too high. In fact, it's a certainty that your city's meter rates will be too high at some point in the day, if the price is the same all day, and if the price is the same for very busy areas and less busy areas.
How you know prices are too high is if you consistently see 3 or more metered spaces open on relatively busy blocks during regular business hours. If meters are the right price, there will always be about one or two spaces open on every block.
To avoid mispricing meters and hurting business, the political authorities should choose a *vacancy rate* not the meter price. Make city council or the Parking Authority Director choose a vacancy rate (80-90%), and then let the electronic parking meters' algorithm set prices, block by block, to achieve that rate. That way, residents can't get mad at politicians over parking prices. They can argue for a lower parking vacancy rate if they want to pay lower prices on average, but at least this would clarify the trade-off between parking prices and parking availability.

First - welcome!!
The often quoted fair decision-making factor is - are you in fear of your life.
This does not need a firearm to be present - it could be a knife, Louisville Slugger, even a bag of potatoes but - if the threat is perceived as serious (and you'd have to justify that in court) ........ then you could feasably draw your sidearm.
But - note well - in most cases if you got that far - you'd also better be prepared to use it. It presupposes too in many states you had little remaining option for retreat.
It is fortunate however that in many cases a presentation can defuze things enough to save the day but - if that occurs with no shots fired .... be sure also to call in the incident and explain ... you are the good guy - and want to make sure some scumbag doesn't try and make you out to be the aggressor.

Borders can't be secured before reform
Re: the May 8 article "Immigration bill hinges on secured border, GOP says."
The Washington politicians who say they won't discuss immigration reform until our borders are secure have it backwards. Our borders will not be secure until people can apply to come here legally to fill the vacant positions that need to be filled for the economy's sake.
We have spent billions on southern border security, and yet people still find a way to get in to work. First establishing a legal mechanism to screen and approve immigration is the only way that will work. We have a 1,500-mile southern border and countless boat inlets and landing fields. Security can never be total, but legality will make it less necessary.
Our 3,000-mile border with Canada is even more wide open, but nobody seems to worry about that. Perhaps Washington politicians think they can fool us. Pretending to be willing to "discuss" immigration reform after our "borders are secure" is their clever way of saying "never," while avoiding blame for doing nothing.

Let Tucson decide local issues for itself
Re: the April 30 article "Bill signed preventing Tucson from destroying 'buyback' guns."
I see that the governor has just signed a bill preventing Tucson from destroying "buyback" guns.
It somehow seems a little like talking with a forked tongue. Our Republican-controlled Legislature is very quick to tell Tucson what we can or cannot do, particularly when the action involves guns, while stating that local government is best as it is closer to the people.
So, that being the case, why does our Republican-controlled Legislature continue to write legislation preventing local governments from taking actions that local citizens approved? Why can't Tucson destroy "buyback" guns? And why can't Tucson pass an ordinance requiring background checks at gun shows?

Penalty a slap in the face to taxpayers
Re: the May 3 article "Penalties just $5K in work-theft case."
My only comment is, a slap on the wrist for the criminals and a slap in the face to the taxpayers. Nothing new here.

Tell lawmakers to back AHCCCS expansion
Re: the May 2 column "A legislator's frightening vision of subsidized health care."
Thank you, Sarah Garrecht Gassen, for skewering Rep. David Gowan's cold and nonsensical comments on Medicaid expansion. Gowan needs to acknowledge that there are many people who are working full time with no health care who by virtue of their low salaries are eligible for AHCCCS. If Arizona agrees to accept the federal dollars available to expand AHCCCS many of those on the waiting list can be enrolled. To decline that money will not only be immoral, it will be dumb.
Alarmingly, the governor has decided to approve legislation disallowing any of these monies to be allocated to Planned Parenthood - which provides a wide range of health services to women. Often these are women who work in low-salaried positions and would be eligible for AHCCCS through Medicaid expansion.
If you care about the welfare of our fellow citizens, contact your legislators at 398-6000.

LDS temple would mar Foothills views
Re: the May 4 article "Foothills site likely for Mormon temple."
The Daily Star recently reported that the LDS church wants to build a massive temple nearly as high as the Tucson airport tower right in the middle of the Catalina Foothills. Not only will this private, members only complex "pave paradise and put up a parking lot" for over 250 cars, but the building includes a 95-foot high tower that will severely impact the unspoiled views of the Catalinas that thousands of Tucsonans enjoy daily.
County rules prohibit structures over 44 feet in the Foothills for good reason. This structure would tower twice that height as well as create traffic and lighting problems in the area. Reportedly the LDS church has two other sites under consideration that would not violate existing rules.
The Pima County Planning Department and the Board of Supervisors should say no to this misguided plan and preserve the scenic beauty of the mountains.

$344,329 is why Flake opposed gun-check bill
Please don't wonder why Sen. Jeff Flake did not support the initiative for gun control background check. The NRA spent $344,329 in the 2012 election to support Rep. Flake's campaign and defeat his opponent. He received more than twice what the next closest politician got (Orrin Hatch, $166,348). If we the people don't take money out of politics, politicians will not make decisions to benefit the majority of Americans.

Small black ants have been invading my kitchen. How do I get rid of them?
Rate This FAQ
Average Rating:
Ants invade the home to forage for food, to seek shelter or both. They are often called sugar ants because they are attracted to sweet foods. They enjoy other food and materials as well, including greasy materials, starchy substances, wood and all kinds of plant and animal materials. Part of the reason ants become a nuisance in our homes is that they often like the same kinds of food we do.
Ants often nest outside homes and come indoors at opportune times during the year. In the spring, some species develop wings and fly to new locations. They invade homes to forage for food or to establish a new nest.
Termites also develop wings and swarm during the spring. They look similar to flying ants. Examine them closely to make sure you are seeking treatment for the correct pest. Ants are thin-waisted and have elbowed antennae. Termites have thicker waists and have antennae that resemble strings of tiny beads. You may need a magnifying glass to examine antennal features.
If you find you have termites, contact a local, reputable pest control company. If you have ants, consider these tips for control.
· Install under-door seals to prevent their entry. This is probably the most effective method of control. Also seal cracks and crevices to eliminate passages into the home. If you do not seal entry points, ants will most likely find their way into your home at some later time.Determine which food materials they are feeding on in your home and store those items in airtight containers.Clean regularly. Ants lay down a scent or pheromone trail for others in the colony to follow. Therefore, regular cleaning with a disinfectant will help eliminate trail-following and more ants. Be sure to clean the floor, along floorboards, on counters, in cupboards and anywhere you find ants foraging. If the above methods don't work, consider treating doorways, floorboards and other ant-infested areas with an insecticide registered for indoor use. Follow product label directions. Be cautious to keep the chemical away from food, and don't allow children or pets to use the floor area for the period of time recommended on the label. If you are able to locate an ant nesting area outside your home, treat the nest site with insecticide and clean up the area to prevent the ants from reestablishing. For further information on control of ants in the home, visit http://lancaster.unl.edu/enviro/pest/factsheets/003-97.htm.

st: Some annoying problems with my stata 10
Thu, 28 Feb 2008 17:00:38 -0800
Dear Stata users,
Thanks for reading my post.
I have come across some strange problems with my Stata 10:
Example 1:
. reshape wide pre01 pe01, i(fy) j(region6) ;
(note: j = 1 2 3)
variable fy not found in using data
r(111); t=0.25 16:51:33
But the variable "fy" is clearly listed in the variable window. The
data editor also shows the complete data column.
Example 2:
. outreg2 using table1, label word tstat bdec(4) tdec(4)
symbol(***,**,*) alpha(0.01,0.05,0.1) replace ;
variable __000008 not found
r(111); t=1.42 16:48:50
I also run both programs in my Stata 9.2. NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! I
looked online and find little related solution to this problem except
some doubt this is memory problem. So I downloaded and installed
230699_ENU_i386_zip which is said to solve the memory conflict between
Stata 10 and XP. Unfortunately, my problems do not go away.

Gold edged lower in Monday trading. The metal slipped even as the U.S. imposed a fresh round of sanctions on officials and companies close to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Newmont Mining (NEM[1]) shares tumbled after it called off merger talks with fellow miner Barrick Gold (ABX[2]). In a letter to Barrick's board[3], NEM complained that "our efforts to find consensus have been rejected out of hand repeatedly." NEM stock ended the day down almost 7%, while ABX shares fell more than 3%.
Gold futures for June delivery dipped 0.1% to $1,299 per ounce on Monday, according to CME Group[4]. Gold prices were as high as $1,306.60 and as low as $1,292.10. Bullion closed in London at $1,297, according to BullionVault[5].
Silver futures for May delivery sank 0.5% at $19.59 per ounce. Monday's high for silver was $19.76, while the low was $19.47.

Can you say, Edgar Allen Poe?
I've always wanted a home with secret passageways and rooms.
I actually ran an EMS call one time, the caller said, "She's in the last room on the right." We were like, "Where?" He said, "Oh, wait" and pushed a hidden switch on the wall. The hidden door popped open.
We are looking at moving and I told my wife we have to get a house where I can do that!
Personally, I'd like an old missile silo for my secret base...

A friend of mine who I went to high school with and is a fellow paramedic is also a magician. When he built his house a few years ago, he had a couple hidden rooms and a hidden spiral staircase installed. He did it all himself. He said it was tough convincing the building inspector that one of the rooms was a closet. He said his plans didn't make sense. He also had to wall things in when the inspector inspected the work and then go back in and retrofit the spiral staircase after the house was built.
When I finally build a house...IT WILL have at least one secret room in it.

The Maori Party wants all public servants to learn Maori and may require immigrants to swear an oath of allegiance to the Treaty of Waitangi, policy papers show.
It wants to ensure Maori have a greater say in local and central government decision-making and to legislate to further protect Maori property rights.
Steps to reduce poverty and educational and health disparities and better protect the environment are also on the policy agenda.
Party leaders believe National and Labour have become increasingly conservative and fickle on Maori issues and are determined to put a proudly pro-Maori set of initiatives in front of voters.
But it's not all plain sailing - the question of what is or is not Maori Party policy appears to be a moot point in some cases.
The party released a 2 1/2 page list of policy directions and some firm pledges in June, which it is labelling its policy manifesto.
This week co-leader Tariana Turia promised a 48-page manual used by candidates, to the Herald.
She described it as party policy.
Sent out a day later it was described in an email as "draft ... not yet finalised in some areas." But yesterday the document - entitled "Maori Party Policy Areas: candidate policy information pack" - was described as a list of "talking points only", by Mrs Turia's spokeswoman.
Labour has repeatedly claimed the Maori Party lacked clear policy, suggesting it is restricted to little more than the repeal of the Foreshore and Seabed Act.
The Maori Party is battling Labour for the seven Maori seats and could be the determining factor on who leads the next Government - a situation which is intensifying Labour's pursuit of the seats.
Recent Marae Digipoll survey results suggest Labour is regaining support in the seats.
While Hone Harawira is 16 percentage points ahead of Labour's Dover Samuels in Te Tai Tokerau, the Maori Party candidate's lead has halved. The poll found Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples and John Tamihere were neck and neck.
Labour's Nanaia Mahuta is believed to have increased her lead over Angeline Greensill in the Marae Digipoll survey of the Tainui electorate out today.
Mrs Turia has always maintained the Maori Party could work with Labour or National. Of the two, National had done more for Maori but kept it quiet because of its "red-neck" voters.
But the policy confusion, her stance on post-election options - attacked by Labour as "a vote for the Maori Party is a vote for National" - may be scaring voters and account for the polling shift.
The Digipoll and the Maori Television-TNS poll show Labour winning the party vote in the Maori electorates - in a split vote, Maori Party supporters would be unlikely to tolerate allegiance with National.
Despite the political rhetoric, the policy manual reveals the Maori Party's policy objectives - while probably closest to the Green Party - are much closer to Labour than they are to National.
Some Definites
Compulsory for public servants to learn Maori
Raise drinking age to 20 years or above
Compulsory matauranga Maori (knowledge of things Maori) in schools
Reinstate GE/GMO moratorium until impact studies completed
Remove gambling machines
Review RMA and Local Government Act to affirm hapu and iwi authority
Some Indefinites
(From candidate's policy manual - which party has variously labelled policy, draft policy, then just talking points)
Prepare for energy rationing and cut speed limit to 90km/h
Free primary health care for under-sixes and over 65s
Establish Maori council for immigration, make it mandatory for Crown to consult it on all immigration matters
Oath of allegiance to treaty for new citizens
No freehold land to be sold to overseas investors
Poll watch
The DigiPoll Tainui survey, Marae, Television One, 10am today. The Maori Television-TNS poll, on Te Tai Tokerau. Te Kaea, 7.30 tonight.

I personaly feel the camera crew would try and make the police officers look bad no matter what. I believe under the conditions where the food stuff will be spoiled and and these guys had to eat I would not feel they were stealing or doing a dirty deed. They have to eat to remain in a reasonable frame of mind to do their job. I defer to their common sense and need to survive also. It does upset me that police officers are disarming the people, I don't mean the bad guys but Mom and Pop just trying to survive. When a police office crosses the line of our Constitution and its protection offered I believe it takes away from his person.

Just like a haircut, can I walk into a plastic surgery consultation with a picture of Jennifer Aniston and say "I want that nose!"...or is that not helpful and doctors get mad at these types of requests?
Can I Ask for Jennifer Aniston's Nose when Getting a Nose Job?
Doctor Answers 20
Bringing a photo to a Plastic Surgeon's office can be useful or a warning sign
When I was a resident I was warned that if a patient comes to my office armed with photos of celebrities or models, turn around and run the other way. This is not necessarily true. Coming with a photo or two of what you like can show the surgeon what your personal aesthetic is. This does not mean you will get a nose exactly like Jennifer Aniston, your nose is unlikely just like hers was before any surgery was performed. What I do with these photos is review why you like the nose you have cut out from the magazine and demonstrate why yours may or may not have any similarities. Also, most photos in magazines are in full makeup to cover imperfection then photo-shopped further to make everything look perfect.
On the other hand, if you think that a nosejob will make your career in modeling or acting, this when bringing photos is counter productive.
Use celebrity photos as a discussion tool for rhinoplasty
She has a nice nose so why not. That is a common type of request. Many patients are unable to express exactly what they wish to change about their nose so they pick their favorite celebrity nose and show me. I think it actually helps. I ask the patient what they like or don't like about the celebrity nose so that I get a sense for what the changes that are desired. This dicussion, combined with computer imaging, makes for an excellent consultation.
Of course it is not possible to give you Jennifer Aniston's nose, nor would her nose necessarily suit your face. It may be possible to change your features so they are more similar to hers.
Web reference: http://8west.ca/rhinoplasty/4-exciting-benefits-of-rhinoplasty/
Jennifer Aniston's Nose
If a doctor gets mad when you ask for Aniston's nose, find another surgeon. Certainly you cannot have her nose, but it does give the physician an idea of your aesthetics. It is a starting point to discuss how your nose can be improved. After evaluating the existing nose, the procedure should be individualized to compliment the surrounding facial features. In over thirty years I've never done the same nose twice.
You might also like...
How to get Jennifer Aniston's nose
This request may or may not be unreasonable. If you want the exact nose, then yes, this is an unreasonable request. However, if you say that you like the size and shape of her nose and that you would like your nose to be like Jennifer Aniston's, then you may be able to work with your plastic surgeon. Of course, there is no guarantee that you will get the exact same nose, but bringing in pictures of things that you like gives your plastic surgeon an better idea of your aesthetic goals. Good luck!
Web reference: http://www.DrSchreiberPlasticSurgery.com
Your nose is not Jennifer Aniston's nose
Unless your nose looked exactly like Jennifer Aniston's did growing up and your face looks just like Jennifer Aniston's face, it is not realistic to ask that question. You will be disappointed. Think of objective qualities you like (shape, tip, width) and try to communicate those with your surgeon. Simply pointing at a two dimensional photo of Jennifer Aniston is not a good idea.
Web reference: http://www.enhanceyourimage.com/procedures/rhinoplasty.cfm
Jennifer Aniston's nose may not be as perfect as you think
Jennifer Aniston's nose may not be as perfect as you think. While I encourage my patients to actually bring in pictures of noses that they like or prefer, it is not possible to make your nose exactly like the picture you bring in. The reason is because not all noses have the same amount of cartilage, skin thickness varies and size and supporting structures vary from person to person. That being said I do feel it is helpful to bring in a picture of the nose you like at your consultation because most surgeons can at least appreciate the type of profile, the tip position, the length and the rotation that you prefer and that would best fit your face. So in summary, while your nose cannot be made to exactly look like someone else, it is indeed helpful in my opinion to discuss the parts of the ideal nose you like to see where your nose can fit in the scheme of things. I hope this information helps.
Jennifer Aniston's Nose? Not Realistic
One of the most important things to realize about rhinoplasty is that each nose has a range of possible outcomes based on the original anatomy of the nose. Another point to consider is that Jennifer Aniston's nose looks great on her face but might not look so good on someone else.
Each individual nose has unique characteristics related to skin thickness, integrity, shape, size, and quality of the structural cartilages, size of the nasal bones, and tip projection/ rotation. A rhinoplasty result will vary on how these variables can be tailored while preserving structure and function.
You can ask for it....but you probably won't get it!
There's nothing wrong with you requesting Jennifer Aniston's nose; it'll give your surgeon some insight into your aesthetic ideals.
That being said, results in rhinoplasty are highly variable on the characteristics of your nasal skin, nasal bones and cartilage. Your surgeon can try to mimic the shape of someone else's nose, but almost certainly will never be able to achieve it exactly.
Hope this helps. Best of luck.
Web reference: http://www.drjdallasplasticsurgeon.com/rhinoplasty.php
Rhinoplasty to have celebrity nose, not advisable
It is not advisable to ask for these types of requests during a rhinoplasty consultation. It is best to have realistic expectations in regards to the presenting issues with your own nose, allowing the surgeon to make the rhinoplasty adjustments according to your own unique facial features. This way your nose, bone, cartilage, and skin will compliment and be balanced with your own facial features, rather than trying to give you somebody else's nose.
Web reference: http://www.seattlefacial.com
Your nose might be better that Jennifer Aniston's!
You can certainly ask for her nose, but why would you?
1. Her nose shape is far from ideal.
2. Her nose is pretty good on her face, but it might be totally wrong for yours, even if you could get it.
3. You cannot predict exactly what your nose will look like after that surgery. You can get a pretty good approximation looking at your surgeon's before and afters, and going over computer imaging results. Different noses have different limitations on final result.
4. Different surgeons have their "signature noses" sometimes. I would emphasize again looking at their before and after, and making sure you are satisfied with the diversity of their work.
5. Rhinoplasty is an incredibly complex operation. Why do you think it takes so much longer to learn that than to cut hair? It is a different process.
6. There are different reasons to have a rhinoplasty. Trust me, getting somebody else's nose is never a good reason.

The jobs of Florida historians and genealogists will soon be much easier, thanks to a recent grant for the University of Florida libraries.
In August, the National Endowment for the Humanities announced it would be awarding $325,000 to the Florida and Puerto Rico Digital Newspaper Project, a joint project between the Smathers Libraries and the University of Puerto Rico-Rio Piedras. The project, which is part of the larger National Digital Newspaper Program, aims to create digital archives of Florida and Puerto Rican newspapers published between 1836 and 1922.

Re: what is the paw for?
Re: what is the paw for?
1.17 will always be special in my heart...
Re: what is the paw for?
Re: what is the paw for?
As for the paw, nab's right. I gave my cousin a full game (since my dlc doesn't even work there) and he didn't get the paw.

Technically, 1.17 is special. You have to have played the game before 1.17 came out to get paw.
No, it's not special. It's not as if ND just was like, "Oh, it's patch 17 now. I guess it's pretty obvious that now we should give everyone a paw on their symbol." No, it was absolutely not a coincidence that the paw was released at the same time U3 went F2P. The reasoning behind the paw was that there should be something to distinguish between F2Per's and owners of the game (or I assume). Just, like I said before, it is not retroactive.
It's pretty obvious that this distinction is over the definition of "special." I'm saying that the number 17, and subsequently the patch 17, are not special in and of themselves. If there was any reason for them to be "special" it would be that UC3 went F2P in that same patch (F2Per's do not get the paw). In other words, if UC3 had gone F2P in patch 1.18 then no one would have gotten a paw until patch 1.18 debuted. What you are saying is the direct consequence of what I am saying. But it just doesn't making any sense to say that patch 17 was special. You had to play UC3 before it went F2P to get the paw. In other words, you had to own it to get the paw. However, the paw is not retroactive.
I feel like arguing and making that distinction. There's not really anything wrong with what you said it is just misleading (not that it could lead you to anything of any consequence though ).
Wipe that smile off your face and get your tryhard face on!!!

How much do your weekly groceries cost?
>> 4.06.2010
For the next post in my "How Much?" series, I'm breaking down my grocery bill directly from last night's shopping trip...
$1.05 Spinach
2.50 Pineapple
1.99 Bag Grapefruit
2.99 Strawberries
1.06 Bananas
.45 Avocado
1.68 Lettuce
1.14 Sweet Potatoes
Total: $9.87
$2.59 Strawberry Jam
1.59 Pasta Sauce
1.50 (after $1 coupon) Frosted Mini-Wheats
2.00 Raisin Bran
2.89 Chocolate Cheerios (had coupon for milk)
.82 Can Refried Beans
1.14 Whole Grain Mac & Cheese
.60 Ramen (4)
2.38 Honey Wheat Bread
Total: $15.51
$.99 (after $1 coupon) Omega 3 Milk
2.07 Cheese
2.98 Gallon Milk
Total: $6.04
$1.89 (after $1.75 coupon) Bird's Eye Shrimp Scampi
1.89 (after $1.75 coupon) Bird's Eye Shrimp Scampi
4.25 Red Baron Frozen Pizza
Total: $8.03
Grand Total: $39.45 (for two)
Believe it or not, this is a very average weekly grocery bill (we did also buy dog food, but I included that here). Sometimes we'll go as low as $20, but never over $55. How do we keep costs low?
*Buy protein in bulk or on sale. First, I have to say that not eating red meat, chicken, or pork very often cuts down on the costs big time! For the protein that we do eat (I do a lot of fish and veggie meat/ Nate does chicken)
*Skip the snack food. We do snack, but not on pre-packaged crackers or chips. Fruit, veggies, or a PB&J will usually fill us up between meals. We didn't need to buy dessert this week (thanks Easter), but usually a sweet cereal, $2 sherbet, or packages of sugar-free Jello fill that spot.
*Plan out the menu and buy only what you need. It's really not as time consuming as it might sound. Nate and I actually meal plan while we're driving to the store. We really only need to plan out four meals... Monday is pasta night, Thursday is frozen pizza night, and we go out to eat one weekend night.
*Shop sales the smart way. If you weren't going to eat it, don't buy it! That said, stock up if you eat it all the time! I went for the great deals on the Bird's Eye meals and Frosted Mini-Wheats so that we can skip buying those things next week.
What do your weekly grocery bills look like? How do you keep your costs low?
PS I might have omitted a box (or four) of clearance Peeps from the total... I promise that they aren't part of our normal grocery bill!

Baghdad blast kills 11 as family hopes for mercy
Page Tools
Hostages Eugene Armstrong, Jack Hensley and Kenneth Bigley, and Rihab Taha, the biological weapons scientist Iraq is to release. Photos: Reuters, AP
A suspected suicide car bomber struck in a crowded commercial street in Baghdad yesterday as relatives of a British engineer held hostage in Iraq were preparing for the worst after the radical group that kidnapped him and two Americans killed a second American hostage.
The blast killed at least 11 people, many of them among scores of men queuing to photocopy documents for their applications to join Iraq's security forces. It was a grim rejoinder to President George Bush's earlier claim at the United Nations that the war against terrorism in Iraq was being won.
The blast destroyed several shopfronts and an ice-cream stall. Dozens were wounded by shrapnel.
Sandals and shoes lay in pools of blood on the pavement. Iraqis covered burnt flesh lying on the ground with shop banners torn down by the explosion.
Officials at Baghdad's Yarmuk hospital said 11 bodies were brought in.
Insurgents have repeatedly targeted Iraqis queuing to apply to join the police and National Guard. Last week, a suicide car bomb attack on a queue of recruits outside a Baghdad police station killed 47.
In Britain authorities were waiting for news from the kidnap gang calling itself One God and Jihad, which demands the release of Iraqi women from Abu Ghraib and Umm Qasr jails to spare the life of a British hostage.
But a US embassy spokesman insisted that "the two women are in legal and physical custody of the multinational forces in Iraq and neither will be released imminently". This contradicted Iraq's Justice Minister, who had promised to release one prominent female Iraqi prisoner and to consider the release of the second.
The family of Kenneth Bigley, 62, who was seized with the two Americans from their house in Baghdad last week, gathered at their Liverpool home after making a plea to the British Government to agree to the kidnappers' ultimatum.
But there seemed little hope for Mr Bigley after the gang, believed to be led by a suspected al-Qaeda operative, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, announced it had beheaded the second American, Jack Hensley. It warned Mr Bigley would be next.
The family of Mr Hensley received confirmation that the headless body handed over to US officials in Iraq was his. Hensley's brother, Ty Hensley, told NBC's Today show Hensley's wife, Pati, was "extraordinarily devastated".
Zarqawi's spiritual mentor, the Muslim preacher Omar Youssef Jumah, known as Abu Annas al-Shami, who justified the beheading of hostages, was killed on Friday in a US air strike, associates and relatives said yesterday.
Mr Bigley's son, Craig, made a dramatic appeal to Britain's Prime Minister, Tony Blair, urging him to agree to the kidnappers' demand. "Only you can save him now," he said on BBC television. "You have children and you will understand how I feel at this time."
Mr Blair talked with Mr Bigley's family on Tuesday, officials said, but they refused to give details.
However, a Foreign Office spokesman insisted the Government would not negotiate with the kidnappers.
Iraq's Justice Minister, Malik Dohan al-Hassan, said the Government would release Rihab Taha, a biological weapons scientist. A hearing would be held to determine whether to release the second woman, Huda Amash, another weapons scientist who has been dubbed Chemical Sally.
The kidnappers said in their message that they would release a video of the second killing soon, just as they had posted a videotape on Monday of the execution of the first American, Eugene Armstrong.
Two United States marines were killed in fighting west of Baghdad on Tuesday, a US soldier was killed in a bombing near Tikrit while another soldier was killed in an attack on a patrol in the northern city of Mosul.
Since the start of the war at least 789 US military and Pentagon personnel have been killed in action. When non-hostile deaths are included, the toll is at least 1039.

Michael Joseph Gentilli
Madison, WI - Michael Joseph Gentilli, age 84 of Madison, WI passed peacefully at University Hospital March 31st, 2014 surrounded by his family and friends.
Mike was born in Milwaukee, WI on April 24th, 1929. The son of Joseph and Lena Gentilli.
Mike was raised in Madison, attended Blessed Sacrament and Edgewood High School.
One of Mike's fondest memories was playing football on the Edgewood team that was undefeated from 1940-44. Mike also played baseball and basketball and lettered all four years.
Mike was inducted into the Edgewood Athletic Hall of Fame along with his son Pat in 2000.His true talents would not be known until he performed at the Edgefest Follies singing and dancing to raise a few laughs and eyebrows for his alma-mater.
During high school, Mike assisted his fatherat the three Piggly-Wiggly stores in Madison when needed. His dad then purchased his own produce market on Monroe Street. Although Mike's driver's license was "still in the mail", he would drive with his dad to Milwaukee often bringing fresh produce to the store. Mike had many stories to tell of those trips and we all enjoyed hearing them. It was here that Mike began to create the long lasting relationships with his friends that he held dear to him.
Upon completion of high school, Mike joined the service as a navy SeaBee and served his country on the island of Guam during the Korean War.
After his honorable discharge, Mike worked at the Snack Shack and attended the University of Wisconsin. This is where he met the love of his life "St. Mary's Hospital Girl" Mary Jane Berger. They became best friends, married. Together they raised six children, twin daughters and four sons.
Mike started his business selling petroleum for Philgas and for over thirty-five years, he owned and operated the Motor Oasis Truck Stop in Monona. Mike was the type of owner that brought people to the Truck Stop because of his honesty and integrity. A handshake is all he needed.
When his children were able to do the house hold chores, Mike began playing golf by packing up his clubs in his car saying, "it's time to go to work" and headed to Odana Hills golf course with his father and friends. Mike has had four holes-in-one and won the State Senior Doubles Golf Tournament. While Mike mastered the course with his straight drives and long irons, his two footers would redefine what a "gimmie" is all about.
The love Mike had for his family and friends is what he had always cherished in his life. There was nothing in the world that he would rather do than to watch his kids and grandkids all together at the house. That charismatic "whistle" of his would be the signal to all that Grandpa is in the house.
Mike is survived by his wife Jane, his daughter Mary (Kevin Retelle) of Madison, sons Michael(Sue) of Woodbury MN, Joseph(Terri) of Madison and Robert(Cheryl) of Belleville: twelve grandchildren and one great granddaughter, daughter- in- law Diane Patenaude and Son-in-law Phil Stoddard, brother Jack (Helen) Gentilli and sister MaryAnne (Art Schuman), along with many loving nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents, son, Patrick 1999 and daughter Marcy 2004, sister Kay Clementi and Madeline Gentilli
A Mass of Christian burial will be held at ST. MARIA GORETTI CHURCH, 5313 Flad Avenue, Madison, WI, at 11:00am on Wednesday April 9th, 2014 with Monsignor Michael Burke officiating. The visitation will be held on Wednesday from 9:00am until time of Mass at the church. Private interment will be at Resurrection Cemetery in Madison.
Mikes family wishes to thank the VA Hospital SICU Unit and the UW TLC nurses and doctors for their loving compassion toward his care.
In lieu of flowers, memorials can be sent in Mikes name to St. Maria Goretti or Edgewood High School 2219 Monroe, St, Madison, WI 53711
Pops, you will be missed by all. The journey you have had was done "Your Way"
We love you.

Mutualism vs. Symbiosis
Symbiosis is a relationship between two organisms: it can be mutualistic (both benefit), commensal (one benefits), or parasitic.
Learning Objective
Compare Mutualism and Symbiosis
Key Points
- Mutualism, a relationship in which both species benefit, is common in nature. In microbiology, there are many examples of mutualistic bacteria in the gut that aid digestion in both humans and animals.
- Commensalism is a relationship between species in which one benefits and the other is unaffected. Humans are host to a variety of commensal bacteria in their bodies that do not harm them but rely on them for survival (e.g. bacteria that consume dead skin).
- Parasitic relationships, in which one species benefits and the other suffers, are very common in nature. Most of the microorganisms studied in medical microbiology are parasitic and feed on human tissue. For example, cholera, leshmaniasis, and Giardia are all parasitic microbes.
- Symbiotic relationships can also be classified by the physical relationship between the two species. Endosymbionts live inside the tissues of the host, while ectosymbionts live outside of their partner species.
A close and often long-term interaction between two or more different biological species
A class of relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits without affecting the other
A relationship between individuals of different species in which both individuals benefit
Full Text
Symbiosis is any relationship between two or more biological species. Such relationships are usually long term and have a strong impact on the fitness of one or both organisms. Symbiotic relationships are categorized by the benefits and physical relationships experienced by each species.
Common types of symbiosis are categorized by the degree to which each species benefits from the interaction:
- Mutualism: In mutualistic interactions, both species benefit from the interaction. A classic example of mutualism is the relationship between insects that pollinate plants and the plants that provide those insects with nectar or pollen. Another classic example is the behavior of mutualistic bacteria in ecology and human health. Gut bacteria in particular are very important for digestion in humans and other species. In humans, gut bacteria assist in breaking down additional carbohydrates, out-competing harmful bacteria, and producing hormones to direct fat storage. Humans lacking healthy mutualistic gut flora can suffer a variety of diseases, such as irritable bowel syndrome . Some ruminant animals, like cows or deer, rely on special mutualistic bacteria to help them break down the tough cellulose in the plants they eat. In return, the bacteria get a steady supply of food .
- Commensalism: In commensalism, one organism benefits while the other organism neither benefits nor suffers from the interaction. For example, a spider may build a web on a plant and benefit substantially, while the plant remains unaffected. Similarly, a clown fish might live inside a sea anemone and receive protection from predators, while the anemone neither benefits nor suffers.
- Parasitism: Parasites are organisms that harm their symbiotic partners. Parasitism is incredibly common in nature: depending on the definition, more than half of all species may go through at least one parasitic stage in their life cycle. There are many well-documented examples of parasitic bacteria and microorganisms throughout this text.
Symbiosis can also be characterized by an organism's physical relationship with its partner.
- Endosymbiosis: a relationship in which one of the symbiotic species lives inside the tissue the other. For example, Coral polyps have special algae called zooxanthelle that live inside their cells. Zooxanthelle provide sugars to the coral through photosynthesis. Similarly, nitrogen-fixing fungi often live inside the cells of plants, providing nitrogen in exchange for the sugars of photosynthesis.
- Ectosymbiosis: a relationship in which one species lives on the outside surface of the other. Barnacles that live on whales and bromeliads that live on tropical trees are examples of endosymbionts.
These categories can be paired with the above terms to better describe the species' interactions. For example, you might say that a gut bacteria is an "endosymbiotic mutualist," or that a flea is an "ectosymbiotic parasite. "

BRISTOL, R.I. -- As RWU Law Director of Diversity and Outreach Deborah Johnson scrolled through her emails on Monday morning, she quickly became overwhelmed by the letters of praise she received for bringing an inaugural event to campus. One note, she says, captures the entire essence of the event.
"It was extraordinary to see the whole atrium rocking with the passion and energy of the gospel choir and the RWU chorus," the message read.
An afternoon full of spirited singing, the first-ever GospelFest at RWU began with a workshop, which brought together community members to learn the art of gospel music and practice a song to be performed alongside the Prism of Praise Community Gospel Choir and the Roger Williams University Chorus during the evening public performance.
"This portion of GospelFest involved experiential learning which there is a big emphasis on here at RWU," Johnson says.
The Prism of Praise Community Gospel Choir became known to members of the Roger Williams Community after RWU Law Dean David Logan attended a performance and insisted that their talents be heard on campus, Johnson noted. A Christian music group, Prism of Praise prides itself on its multiethnicity, recognizing people's differences and celebrating diversity. Gospel music's greatest contribution to society, according to Prism of Praise music director Michael Évora, is hope.
This inaugural event sparked the collaboration of a unique cohort of cosponsors: the Roger Williams University School of Law, the RWU Music Department and the University's Spiritual Life Program. These groups brought together a diverse body of participants unified in song to inspire the emotive and excited audience in Global Heritage Hall. With the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy still sharp in people's minds, donations to the Red Cross for relief to victims of Hurricane Sandy were collected at the conclusion of the event to the impressive tune of more than $550.
"It was a magical evening," Johnson says.
