How to Find Me on Twitter & Save Frogs and Mice
Shocking as it may be, some miscreant impostor on Twitter is calling himself the Grumpy Gardener. Use this link to find the real deal: http://twitter.com/grumpy_gardener.
I just received a press release from the Humane Society that should cause us all to stop and think. We are urged to carefully consider the matter of pool safety for wildlife during the coming swim season. Here is a shocking quote:
"According to the most recent statistics, there are more than 8 million swimming pools in the U.S., and an estimated 1 of every 1,027 pets drown in pools each year. Yet, this tragic figure doesn't account for the tens of thousands of wild animals that suffer the same fate.
For example, think of a small frog that jumps in for a refreshing swim but finds the water's surface too far below the pool's edge to crawl out, or a field mouse that leans over the edge for a quick sip only to fall in and swim around until exhausted."
I just know I won't be able to sleep tonight for thinking about those poor frogs and field mice. So if you have a pool and don't want to live a life of tragedy and guilt, here are some things you can do to protect wildlife.
1. Post signs that say, "Not responsible for tiny rodents and amphibians. Swim at own risk."
2. Hire a certified Life-Frog trained in CPR.
3. Place life preservers made from tiny rings of styrofoam attached to dental floss around the pool in case of emergency.
4. Do not permit frogs and mice to swim without proper supervision.
5. As a last resort, lower the water level in your pool to one inch.
Don't let an innocent frog croak!!!

Citation: AKIN, D.E. FLAX FIBER. KIRK OTHMER ENCYCLOPEDIA FOR CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY. JOHN WILEY & SONS, INC. DOI: 10.102/0471238961.0612012401110914.a01. 2003. Interpretive Summary: Information on flax fibers in the literature is scattered and needs to be brought together is a comprehensive review. This manuscript reviews the history and old and current work on flax fibers as an industrial product. The review is important as flax is considered a potential source of a new industry to help rural economies.
Technical Abstract: Flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a versatile plant that supplies consumers both fiber and seed. The long, strong bast fibers processed for linen are prized for comfort and a distinctive appearance in textiles, while shorter fibers are used in textile blends and for specialty paper, reinforced composites, and a variety of other lower-value applications. World production of flax fiber has declined from a few decades ago, but particular countries with a long history of flax, e.g., Russia and former Soviet Union countries, China, and Western Europe, still dominate in production and areas cultivated. To extract fibers, flax stems are first retted, which is a microbial process to loosen fibers from non-fibrous tissues. The most widely used practice is dew-retting, where proper moisture and temperature support colonization and partial degradation of flax stems by indigenous fungi. Low quality and other disadvantages of this practice have prompted research for new retting methods, particularly those using chemicals and cell-free enzymes. Methods to test fiber properties exist, but uniform standards using objective measurements are needed. Research is being undertaken to develop standards towards a uniform classification system for flax fiber. Linen is about 2-3 percent of the textile market, having been replaced some time ago by cotton as the premier natural fiber for textiles. Still, linen continues to maintain a share of the luxury textile market. Potentially, the greatest future for flax fibers could be as cottonized, short fibers for textile blends and as industrial fibers with a range in properties for non-woven materials and composites.

Cheryl Cole is reportedly furious with her former boss Simon Cowell, after the revelations that were made about her in a recent biography of his.
The music mogul granted author Tom Bowers unprecedented access to his life, while he compiled the book on the X Factor boss and though the finished product is officially unauthorised, it is widely accepted that all the claims made in it are based on truth.
For this reason Cole is said to feel totally 'betrayed' by the X Factor boss, who she feels degraded her when speaking about the relationship they used to share.
Simon and Cheryl were always close, ever since she joined the lineup of the ITV show back in 2008 but in the book, it is claimed that she teased and tempted Cowell, who fancied her madly, so that she could get what she wanted from the TV boss.
It claimed that both Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh were jealous of the sway she held over Simon, while he supposedly admitted that he was entranced by her charms.
The author also wrote that the decision to sack Cheryl from the X Factor USA last year was made by Simon and not American TV executives and it is said that she originally accepted a big money deal to return to the UK show, where she would be given Cowell's plush dressing room as part of her new contract.
However, he claims that her new manager Will.i.am put a spanner in the works and in the end, she left Simon in the lurch and refused to speak to him again.
Things had just started to thaw between the pair, but now they seem to be at loggerheads once more and a source told The Mirror:
"Cheryl is disappointed and angry at what he has said and can't understand why he has done it. Their relationship was not in a great place anyway."
"This just makes things worse and virtually rules out any chance of them working together ever again."
Cheryl seemed to be sending a message to Cowell this weekend, when she took to Twitter to write:
Its Amazing what a few kind, genuine words can do for someone..And vice versa how mean words that don't really mean anything can affect them
Choose your words carefully.. Life is tough enough!..

FOUR CORNERS, PAS DE DUKE and More Set for Alvin Ailey Dance Theater's 2013-14 Season
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, beloved as one of the world's most popular dance companies and New York City Center's Principal Dance Company, will return to the New York City Center stage for the 42nd consecutive year from December 4, 2013 - January 5, 2014with exciting performances that have become a joyous holiday tradition.
Artistic Director Robert Battle continues to expand the Company's diverse repertory with premieres and new productions representing a wide range of important choreographic voices that give Ailey's extraordinary group of artists new ways to inspire audiences.
In-demand choreographer Aszure Barton's world premiere is an exhilarating conversation with Ailey's renowned dancers, who inspired the process, movement and composition, as well as the original, percussive score by musical partner Curtis Macdonald. With a collaborative stylistic approach that is constantly evolving and like no other, Barton's unique and award-winning choreographic achievements are increasingly gaining wide recognition and have been presented by a diverse group of important national and international dance companies.
Wayne McGregor's Chroma is a ballet filled with layered, beautiful dancing and astonishing lifts. The Ailey company premiere, supported by commissioning funds from New York City Center, marks the first time a work by this multi award-winning British choreographer will appear in the Ailey repertory. Set to an amalgam of original music by Joby Talbot and orchestrations of music by Jack White III of The White Stripes, the work explores McGregor's curiosity of a concept freed from whiteness and the drama of the human body. Created in 2006 for The Royal Ballet, a luminous, minimalist set designed by architect John Pawson uses motifs of inside and outside, entrance and exit, light and shadow, void and plenitude, to create a spatially charged environment explored through the medium of the ten dancers' bodies.
Modern dance innovator Bill T. Jones's D-Man in the Waters is a true modern-dance classic and a New York Dance and Performance ("Bessie") Award-winning work. Set to Mendelssohn's Octet for Strings in E-flat Major, Op. 20 (1825), it is a celebration of life and the resiliency of the human spirit that embodies loss, hope and triumph. The addition of this joyful tour-de-force to Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater's repertory comes 30 years after Alvin Ailey originally invited Bill T. Jones to create Fever Swamp for the Company.
Ailey's extraordinary dancers have become known as inspiring interpreters of the unique dance storytelling of celebrated choreographer Ronald K. Brown.Four Corners, set to the music of Carl Hancock Rux and various artists, recently had its acclaimed world premiere during Ailey's historic engagement at Lincoln Center's David H. Koch Theater. Using Brown's signature blend of modern dance and West African idioms, the work's eleven dancers bring to life the vision of four angels standing on the four corners of the earth holding the four winds.
For the 2013-2014 season, Associate Artistic Director Masazumi Chaya will restage new productions of The River and Pas de Duke - two of the 14 ballets founder Alvin Ailey created during his career that celebrate the musical genius of the legendary American composer Duke Ellington.
Originally choreographed in 1970 for American Ballet Theatre and first performed by Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in 1980, The River features Ellington's first symphonic score written specifically for dance. The suite combines classical ballet, modern dance and jazz in sections suggesting tumbling rapids and slow currents on a voyage to the great sea, mirroring the journey of human existence.
Pas de Duke was Alvin Ailey's modern dance translation of a classical pas de deux honoring two of the most renowned dancers in the world, Judith Jamison and Mikhail Baryshnikov. It was first presented as part of the "Ailey Celebrates Ellington" festival at Lincoln Center's New York State Theater in 1976, commemorating the nation's bicentennial with America's two great art forms - modern dance and jazz music. Last staged for Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater during the 2006-2007 season, it captures the exuberance of the star dancers' qualities and techniques as the male and female soloists go toe-to-toe and line-for-line in a bravura and playful competition.
A special performance will be held on Tuesday, December 17th celebrating renowned Guest Artist Matthew Rushing, who has been inspiring Ailey audiences for over two decades. A former student of The Ailey School and member of Ailey II, who was also appointed Rehearsal Director by Robert Battle, Rushing has been acclaimed as one of the great male artists on the American concert dance stage.
"It is exciting to pair the amazing artistry of the Ailey dancers with important choreographic voices to further expand the repertory and give our audiences in New York and around the world a cornucopia of treasures to enjoy. It gives me great pleasure to provide a platform to share new and acclaimed works by a variety of dance makers - from Aszure Barton, Ronald K. Brown and Bill T. Jones to Wayne McGregor, Ohad Naharin and Ji?í Kylián," stated Artistic Director Robert Battle. "Along with performances of repertory favorites, new productions from our founder Alvin Ailey's legendary collaboration with Duke Ellington, and the opportunity to pay tribute to the incomparable Matthew Rushing, there will be much to see and celebrate during Ailey's five-week holiday season at New York City Center."
The December 4th Opening Night Gala Benefit performance and party will launch the season with a fundraiser to support Ailey's extensive educational and training programs for young people. Following the exciting company premiere performance of Chroma, Revelations danced to live music will provide the inspiring finale for the memorable opening.
In addition to performances of Ailey classics, including Alvin Ailey's signature American masterpiece Revelations, notable ballets from Ailey's recent seasons will also be presented, including Ronald K. Brown's landmark and spiritually-charged Grace, Ji?í Kylián's sensual and visually surprising Petite Mort, Garth Fagan's seminal From Before, Kyle Abraham's dynamic multi-faceted Another Night, Ohad Naharin's unique and innovative Minus 16, modern dance master Paul Taylor's Arden Court and hip-hop choreographer Rennie Harris' soul-lifting Home.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater inspires all in a universal celebration of the human spirit using the African-American cultural experience and the American modern dance tradition. Having embarked on an exciting new era in Ailey history, Ailey's 30 dancers will move audiences in a diverse repertory of premieres, new productions and repertory classics by a variety of choreographers, revealing once again why Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is one of the world's most beloved dance companies.

The 2013-2014 Season Program: Highlights:
Artistic Director Robert Battle continues to add dynamic new choreographic voices to expand Ailey's diverse repertory and provide Ailey's extraordinary dancers with new ways to inspire. The premieres and new productions provide a platform for a rising and unique dance collaborator, a celebrated choreographer whose unique dance storytelling is inspiringly interpreted by the Ailey dancers, and exposes Ailey audiences and dancers to a multi award-winning international choreographer whose work is being performed by Ailey for the first time. The new season presents a signature work by an American dance innovator and new productions of cherished works from the company founder's celebration of the legendary musical genius Duke Ellington.
2013-2014 Season World Premieres:
Title TBA (2013)
Choreography by Aszure Barton Original Music by Curtis Macdonald
Robert Battle has commissioned in-demand choreographer Aszure Barton to create a world premiere on Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater for the 2013-2014 season. Set to an original, percussive score by musical collaborator Curtis Macdonald, the body of music, like the work itself, is inspired and driven by the energy of the dancers. With a collaborative stylistic approach that is constantly evolving like no other, Barton's exhilarating conversation and relationship with Ailey's renowned dancers informs the process, movement, composition and atmosphere of the creation by a wonderful group of artists. Dance Magazine described her work as "vulnerable and feisty, brightly adept yet peculiar, witty and impetuously wild." Born and raised in Alberta, Canada, Barton received her formal training at the National Ballet School in Toronto. Barton has created works for Mikhail Baryshnikov, The National Ballet of Canada, Nederlands Dans Theater, American Ballet Theatre, the Martha Graham Dance Company, Sydney Dance Company, and Les Ballet Jazz de Montréal (Resident Choreographer 2005-08), among others. She recently received the Banff Centre's 2012 Koerner Award for Choreography and Canada's prestigious Arts and Letters Award for her outstanding choreographic achievements.

2010 Wrap
ATHENS, Ga. ----- The 2010 Georgia soccer season marked the debut of first-year head coach Steve Holeman. Holeman, who brought 15 years of experience from his days at Ole Miss, became the fourth head coach in program history and introduced the team to a 4-3-3 system and a renewed work ethic.
2010 marked the first season for assistant coach Dan Blank, who accompanied Holeman in the move after spending the previous three seasons on the staff in Oxford. It also marked the first season for Georgia's highly touted 14-member freshman class, chock full of All-Americans, national team members, and state champions.
The new-look Bulldogs finished the season with an overall record of 11-6-4 (5-3-3 SEC), advancing to a familiar place: the semifinals of the SEC Championships for the third time in four years. Georgia may have been narrowly left out of the NCAA Tournament field, but when 2011 rolls around, the scene will no longer be a new one for Holeman and the young nucleus. "While we do lose some key seniors we have a great group of young players coming back," Holeman said. "I think we relied heavily on our freshmen this year in the scoring output with our three leading scorers [Alexa Newfield, Meghan Gibbons, Nicole Locandro] all being freshmen." "They're only going to be better next year. This year we may have been a little inconsistent because of how young we were, but it will be huge for this group to come back with experience. We'll definitely be a more veteran team when next fall rolls around."
After dropping a close 1-0 result to No. 24 Duke in the season-opener, Georgia took care of business in its next four non-conference outings to move to 4-1 early on. The Dogs then headed out to California with a chance to make a huge statement to the rest of the country in the Stanford Nike Invitational Sept. 10-12, and the Bulldogs did just that. Ranked No. 23 at the time, Georgia took a 1-0 lead up to the 79th minute of play before surrendering the tying goal and then the winner in overtime to No. 2 Stanford, but proved they could play with any team on a given Friday. The following Sunday match saw the Bulldogs earn a 1-1 tie with then-No. 9 Santa Clara to complete the statement. A couple of ties that could have been wins plagued Georgia's early SEC slate, but the Bulldogs did not lose a game between Sept. 10 and Oct. 17, a string of nine games. On Oct. 15, Georgia rolled into Columbia, S.C., and came away with a 1-0 victory over the No. 14 Gamecocks before heading to Gainesville, where they took a 1-0 lead at the Gators up until the 82nd minute. In similar fashion to the Stanford game, the Bulldogs would allow the game-winning goal to UF in overtime, but again showed their prowess against a top-15 opponent. Despite losing their last two of the year - at home to Auburn and on the road at Tennessee - Georgia ended fourth in the SEC East and overall to head into the league championships in Orange Beach, Ala., for the sixth consecutive year and 13th time overall.
Georgia got revenge on the Tigers in the first round of the SEC Championships in a 2-1 double-overtime thriller, then scored first on the Gators again in the semifinals before falling, 3-1, to face elimination. With the NCAA Tournament field compiled largely on the basis of RPI rankings, some of Georgia's ties came back to prove costly and the Bulldogs were affected by other results, as the committee evaluates factors like strength of schedule and quality wins. In the end, Georgia was left on the outside looking in. "I have a lot of thoughts on this season," Holeman said. "I think ultimately we fell short of our goals. To finish fourth in the SEC would by a lot of standards seem not bad, but we were a team capable of winning the SEC title and we fell short of that. We would have loved to extend our season into the NCAA Tournament, and we're disappointed, because we were very close, not to see our name up there." "I do think we proved a lot this season."
Among the highlights of the 2010 campaign for the Dogs was the play of first-year starting goalkeeper, redshirt sophomore Ashley Baker. Baker led the SEC in numerous statistical categories throughout the season, but perhaps her most impressive figure was her string of four straight shutouts and a total of over 561 minutes of scoreless soccer, good for the longest such streak in SEC play in school history. Baker earned SEC Defensive Player of the Week honors Oct. 11. Baker was one of three Bulldogs to receive conference recognition in 2010 as rookies Alexa Newfield and Nicole Locandro were named Freshman of the Week in back-to-back announcements during the first two weeks of the season.
Other awards for Georgia in 2010 included Susannah Dennis on the TopDrawerSoccer Team of the Week (Aug. 30), Kelli Corless as Collegesoccer360.com Primetime Performer of the Week (Sept. 13), and a foursome of Bulldogs landing on the SEC end-of-year lists. Headlining was Newfield, who snagged first team All-SEC as well as All-Freshman honors. Baker and defender Rebekah Perry were named secondteam All-SEC while defender Torri Allen joined Newfield on the All-Freshman squad. Four selections tied the Georgia record, who also had four players honored in 2007 and 2008.
The Bulldogs spent the majority of the season ranked in at least one of the major polls, with their highest coming at No. 17 in back-to-back weeks in the NSCAA poll Sept. 20-27. The 2011 Georgia team will return 25 players, including eight regular starters and nine who made at least 10 starts. It returns a keeper who stopped over eight of every 10 shots sent her way. It returns 89 percent of its scoring. "The fact that we didn't get into the tournament this year will help next year," Holeman said. "It was certainly a teachable moment. You want to learn that every game matters and I think we'll be hungrier next season."

LatAm corporate credits slide on currency weakness
By Davide Scigliuzzo
NEW YORK, March 10 (IFR) - Latin American credits extended losses on Tuesday as traders struggled to find buyers in the midst of a currency rout and a 3% slide in oil prices.
"If I look at my screen I see offers on every corporate bond," said a broker in Miami. "It is still extremely difficult to find bids."
Weakness in a number of emerging market currencies, with the Mexican peso hitting an all-time low of 15.65 to the dollar, was the main driver of the sell-off in credit, said the broker.
Corporate bonds were bearing most of the brunt, ending the day some 25 to 75 cents lower in price, with oil-related names such as Colombia-focused Pacific Rubiales underperforming.
"With (WTI) oil (prices) back below US$50 (a barrel), we saw better selling in the afternoon," said a New York-based trader.
Pacific Rubiales 2025s, for example, were last spotted at a bid price of 66.5, or two points lower on the day.
Among the few credits bucking the trend was Mexican infrastructure company Empresas ICA, which saw its 8.875% 2024s rise 50 cents to a cash price of 76.
"I think the (ICA) bonds looked relatively cheap and over the last week or so more people started paying attention," said the trader. Continuación...

Chancellor, The Senate of the University has resolved that the degree of
Doctor of the University be conferred upon LINDSEY HILSUM
About seventy years ago two eminent reporters attacked the forced
enclosure of women journalists in the ghetto of women's issues and opened
the international arena to their talents and expertise. When Martha Gellhorn
served as a war correspondent during the Spanish Civil War, she was unique
among reporters, not least for her gender. Gellhorn's career continued
through the war in Finland and the Second World War, when she became the
only woman journalist to go ashore with the troops during the D-Day invasion
of Normandy. She later reported on the communist takeover in China, the wars
in Java and Vietnam, and the Arab-Israeli Wars. In 1990 at the age of 81 she
reported on the war invasion of Panama. When the Bosnian war broke out two
years later, she finally agreed that she was too old to go.
Claire Hollingworth had an equally long and distinguished career. She was at
Poland's border with Germany on the outbreak of World War II, and she later
reported the Desert War – despite Monty's attempts to remove her from the scene.
She was staying at Jerusalem's King David Hotel when it was blown up; and she
later covered two Arab-Israeli wars, Algeria in the 1960s as well as Aden, Burma
and Ceylon and wars between India and Pakistan.
Gellhorn and Hollingworth had begun as exemplars of a very rare breed.
Progress since that time has been rapid, albeit far from complete. More than 75
women served as war correspondents in Vietnam. Several were wounded; three were
taken were prisoner; two were killed. They won numerous awards, including a
Pulitzer Prize. Now forty years on, women are indeed present at all levels of
journalism – shooting film, editing, producing, reporting.
Lindsey Hilsum now appears almost nightly on Channel 4 News, where she is
readily recognisable, eschewing where possible battle fatigues for her trademark
scarf always draped gently over her left shoulder. She was diplomatic
correspondent from 1996 and has been International Editor since March 2004. She
brings to her reporting of Iraq the capacity to explain difficult issues in
clear, simple language, conveying her own sense of humanity while she unravels
layers of complexity with great forensic skill. Her outstanding professionalism
has been widely recognised among her own colleagues. This year she received the
informal, possibly it is still a secret, Channel 4 News Groaning Shelf Award
given to the person whose contributions have had an unprecedented impact. That
award, perhaps it is still a virtual award, also came with
the requisition order for a new glass display case at Channel 4 mainly to
hold the new awards gathered by Lindsey Hilsum and indeed Channel 4 sees Lindsey
Hilsum's work as a major ingredient in its own success in winning BAFTA,
International Emmy and Royal Television awards this year for various aspects of
its war coverage. In April 2004 Lindsey Hillsum won the Voice of the Listener
and Viewer's Special Award for Excellence in Broadcasting for her reports from
Iraq. The Voice is an independent organisation campaigning for high quality
radio and television programmes and for the principle of public service
broadcasting. In May Lindsey Hillsum was named Broadcast Journalist of the Year
at the One World Media Awards, with a portfolio including pieces from Iraq
during and after the war. It also included a report on American oil investment
in Equatorial Guinea, revealing new insights into that sordid, brutal and
corrupt regime. For this film she and Soren Munk also won the 2004 Amnesty
International UK Media Award for TV News, recognising excellence in human rights
journalism that has made a significant contribution to the UK public's greater
awareness and understanding of human rights issues.
Lindsey Hilsum upholds and extends the fine traditions of her eminent
forebears and, like Gellhorn and Hollingworth, she has witnessed on our behalf
the most dreadful occurrences of recent years. The optimism that a New World
Order would follow the fall of communism rapidly evaporated in the realities of
international conflict, including civil war, ethnic cleansing, and new tactics
of international terrorism. These conflicts reveal unspeakable acts – the rape
of women as an instrument of conflict, the deliberate mutilation of children,
torture and mass executions – as well as the indescribable anguish of survivors.
If conflicts are to be prevented or resolved then they must first be
understood. A good journalist will not simply show us a burning building or a
distraught survivor but puts events and developments into their historical and
political context to help identify their underlying causes. It is not enough to
report individual events no matter how powerful. This was especially important
both in the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, where the facile but erroneous
explanation was that long standing ethnic hatreds lay at the base of ethnic
cleansing and genocide. It is also important in Iraq, where the occupying
coalition itself seemed to have brought with it little awareness of social,
religious, and historic conditions or regional differences.
So the modern journalist must understand history and culture. New types of
international intervention such as that argued in humanitarian terms by the
Kosovo conflict, the response to international terrorism in Afghanistan, or the
war in Iraq also require a knowledge of the new international human rights'
regime, the concepts of genocide and war crimes, the terms of the Geneva
Convention, the findings of international tribunals. It was the events in Rwanda
that led to rape being recognised as an act of genocide for the first time by an
international court.
Lindsey Hilsum brings these skills to bear to convey understanding of these
contemporary tragedies. At the same time journalism is also about story telling.
It is about human beings and using the power of words to generate that empathy
which links us all to the human condition. We can easily be numbed by the
gruesome sights of dead and injured. The reporting of foreign tragedy can
dehumanise or trivialise human suffering. Misery overload is a real danger. We
do not know these people. We cannot smell the pervasive stench of death.
Reporting can also create a sense of intrusion. We become international
eavesdroppers, uncomfortable at the rawness of emotion, the invasion of privacy,
the loss of individual dignity. It takes a fine journalist to tread the line
between mawkishness and emotion, to engage us with the suffering of our fellows,
to remind us with passion but without cliché of their capacity for courage and
tenacity of spirit.
Lindsey Hilsum has seen her share of human suffering and degradation. After
graduating from the University of Exeter in French and Spanish she joined Oxfam,
working in Guatemala where she had also spent her student year abroad, and in
Haiti. She began writing freelance articles on Central America and the
Caribbean, continuing after moving to Kenya as Information Officer for the UN
Children's Fund in Nairobi. In the 1980s she covered wars in Ethiopia, Uganda,
Mozambique and the Sudan, reporting variously for BBC World Service Television,
BBC Radio and The Guardian. From 1990 – 1993 Lindsey Hilsum was a Senior
Producer for BBC World Service Radio, editing Newshour and Newsdesk, as well as
a rolling news programme during the Gulf War, and a series of radio
documentaries about the aftermath of the war.
After that it was uncertain whether she would go to Rwanda or Burundi.
Whether by judgement or serendipity, Lindsey Hilsum was the only British
reporter in Kigali in April 1994, when Rwandan President Habyarimana and his
Burumdian counterpart were killed when Habyarimana's plane was shot down near
Kigali Airport. The Rwandan Armed Forces and Hutu militia, the Interahamwe, set
up roadblocks and went from house to house killing Tutsis and moderate Hutu
politicians. Thousands died on the first day, the UN itself avoiding
intervention as a violation of its own mandate simply to monitor the situation.
In 1997 Lindsey Hilsum won the first of her Amnesty press awards for her
television documentary, 'Rwanda : The Betrayal', and she was the overall winner
for her reports for Channel 4 News from Rwanda and Zaire. In 1999 she reported
NATO's bombing campaign from Belgrade and from Kosovo. A few months later she
was visiting Chechen refugee camps and hospitals in the neighbouring Russian
Republic of Ingushetia.
Lindsey Hilsum also writes for The Guardian, The Observer and The New
Statesman. She has also contributed to the literary magazine, Granta. She has
written on war, but she has also pursued issues of the aftermath of war, for
example, the lack of treatment for AIDs contracted by rape victims in Rwanda.
The aftermath is still prolonged even in Bosnia and certainly in Kosovo,
emphatically so in Rwanda. Recently the Rwandan parliament investigated the
murder of genocide survivors and the intimidation of witnesses.
What are the qualities Lindsey Hilsum brings to her work in circumstances of
apparently endless horror? Some are obvious – intelligence of course, great
personal courage and determination, and the gravity with which she approaches
her task as a serious communicator. She brings to her work a strong sense of
morality, yet moral outrage never descends into piety or sentimentality. She
does not approach her task with preconceived judgements. She does her research
thoroughly, she has the capacity to arouse trust, and she is very good at asking
the basic questions and at getting people to talk to her. She understands the
rules of evidence and how to weigh it. She takes nothing at face value. She is
also, it must be said, quite capable of causing trouble, quietly when that seems
best but noisily when it suits. She has been expelled from Ethiopia (twice) and
from Somalia, and for a time she was officially persona non grata in
This capacity to rock the boat is apparently rooted deep in her personal
history. At the age of six she risked expulsion from primary school by
persuading her fellow pupils not to eat their carnivorous school dinners. She
remains a committed vegetarian and indeed animals have provided her a refuge and
a means of decompression from the horror of the world's shameful trouble spots.
At home in London she has a tripod in her bedroom window where she charts the
species of birds appearing in the New River Reservoir at Stoke Newington.
Following a particular brutal period she takes to the back of a horse, as when
she rode a physically gruelling 300 miles with the Lur nomads from their winter
to their summer pastures high in the Zagros mountains after the official ending
of the war in Iraq.
In addition to her love of animals she has a great capacity for human
friendship. She is utterly loyal to her friends throughout the world, not losing
them along the way as many of us do but accumulating them in a vast bank of
friendship, keeping track of them, devoting time and attention, money, helping
their children. She understands the value of achievement but also its
limitations. The quality of her journalism reflects her own capacity for
empathy, a dispassionate head but a compassionate heart. It is fitting indeed
that we honour her.

Introduction of DNA into mammalian cells is a powerful tool for studying the function of various DNA sequences, and for gene therapy. The process of introducing DNA into cells for the purpose of gene expression is called transfection or gene delivery. Synthetic compounds used to facilitate DNA transfer are often named synthetic vectors or transfection reagents. Compared with biological (viral vectors) and physical methods that are covered elsewhere in this volume and in the next volume, the major advantages of synthetic vectors (or chemical methods) are their simplicity, ease of production, and relatively low toxicity. Many synthetic compounds have been developed since DEAE-dextran was first used in transfection experiments more than 35 years ago. Rapid progress in developing more efficient synthetic vectors has led to successful DNA delivery into a variety of cell types in vitro and in vivo. More importantly, in the last few years, we have witnessed significant efforts and progress in elucidating the mechanisms underlying synthetic vector-mediated DNA delivery. With the continuous effort to meet the need for safe and efficient gene-delivery methods for human gene therapy, it is foreseeable that significant advances will be made in the future. This article concentrates on four major types of chemical reagents that are available to most investigators: calcium phosphate, DEAE-dextran, cationic lipid, and cationic polymer. Each of these types of reagents has its advantages and disadvantages, some of which we briefly outline in this overview chapter.

Ford City volleyball has plenty of room to grow
As Ford City boys volleyball coach Casey Cousins distributed uniforms two weeks ago, he marveled at how many jersey numbers he marked down on his clipboard.
Just days earlier, Cousins counted the number of players at practice on one hand and doubted the team's viability.
A group of slightly more than a dozen eager-to-learn players emerged in mid-March and allowed Ford City to field a full lineup. Now the Sabers, severely lacking in experience, aim to scratch their way into a fourth consecutive playoff berth.
"It was kind of tough trying to get guys to come out," said senior Doug Purrington, one of the team's three returning players. "Everybody that's here we basically recruited. By 'we,' I mean me, Jeff (Morhac) and Cameron (Beal) and one or two people we already had.
"I think we can work with this team. It's going to be a fun experience."
A shaky start came as no surprise to Cousins, who coached Elderton the past two seasons and replaced Gregg Hedglin, who resigned during the offseason. When Cousins learned Ford City had an open coaching position and West Shamokin would absorb Elderton's program last spring, he debated which position to pursue.
West Shamokin represented the more attractive destination, but Cousins viewed that as a reason to consider Ford City, which graduated its entire starting lineup.
"I knew that if I didn't take that (West Shamokin) job, there'd be a good coach out there in (former assistant) Scott Craig," Cousins said. "I wasn't sure what else would be available here if I didn't take the job. So I thought the best thing we could do was divide our talents and make sure that both programs are looked after."
Cousins, an eighth-grade history teacher at Ford City, will lean on Purrington as well as sophomores Morhac and Beal for on-floor leadership.
Promising newcomers to the sport include senior David Kutsch and junior Dakota Fickes. But the talent remains raw. Skills such as passing and hitting — things Cousins took for granted at Elderton — are slow to develop.
"I was spoiled because at Elderton most of the kids had played before, and with Andrea (Lasher) being my assistant, she was awesome with that building block kind of stuff where I never really had to do that," Cousins said. "So I found myself scratching my head (earlier this season) like, 'I don't even know where to begin.' That's the toughest part. ... We'll get there, though."
As Purrington pointed out, Ford City finished 3-7 in section play to tie St. Joseph for fourth place, so the Sabers hardly need a dominant run to return to the postseason.
Deer Lakes and Derry, both WPIAL semifinalists last season, remain the cream of the Section 2-AA crop, and West Shamokin is a perennial playoff qualifier.
So the last spot again should come down to Ford City, St. Joseph and Summit Academy.
"We've got a really top- and bottom-heavy section," Cousins said. "The games that we should be in, I'm hoping we'll be in. And the games that are against those top-tier teams, I'm just hoping to look like a volleyball team and get something out of it.
"Even if we can just get some guys to come watch us and see us having fun, that'll help build the program for future years."

If you like Merlot, try Grenache.
Devotees of medium-bodied red wines who like the soft texture of Merlot will enjoy Grenache (or Garnacha, as it is called in Spain) for its strawberry and cherry flavors and the festive kick provided by its higher alcohol content, (usually about 15 percent). Spicy cinnamon and licorice notes enhance the varietal's convivial character. Drink the intensely juicy Tres Picos Garnacha 2012, ($18, at liquor stores) with turkey burgers or pork fried rice.

Saracens have been the Premiership's most improved side all winter and in scorching conditions in Watford their hot streak continued yesterday. After faltering at Wasps a week earlier a late try by Glen Jackson ensured a bonus point as well as victory that takes them into third place and puts them on course for a spot in the play-offs.
It is not often that play in a Premiership match is halted for a drinks break, as it was here, and the tempo of the game inevitably fell after the break in energy-sapping conditions while a belligerent Quins side made sure that the result was in doubt until Dan Scarbrough celebrated his new contract with Saracens' third try 10 minutes from the end.
The hosts were able to help lift the gloom over a town recovering from Saturday evening's FA Cup disappointment. As Watford contemplate relegation Saracens can even dare to dream about taking the Premiership title at Twickenham next month, something that not even their most optimistic of supporters could have wished at the start of the season.
Harlequins' play-off chances evaporated in the sunshine and their day was also marred by the sight of their England wing, David Strettle, being helped from the pitch after half an hour with an injured leg. Strettle's chances of going to South Africa with England next month look slim.
Saracens began the game at full throttle and only one result looked possible in the first quarter. Kris Chesney battered his way over the line in the corner after 12 minutes after Richard Hill and the Kiwi fly-half Jackson had both been stopped on the Quins' 22. But Saracens squandered at least two other try-scoring opportunities while Hugh Vyvyan's try in the same corner, just after Chesney's score, was ruled out because of a forward pass.
Saracens, who had squandered a 13-point lead at Wasps last Sunday, then handed the initiative to Quins as Mel Deane scored a try after a sublime pass from Andrew Mehrtens had given Simon Keogh space on the left touchline. Jackson appeared to put Saracens out of range with his accurate penalty kicking but with the last move of the first-half the visitors were back in the game.
Chris Hala'Ufia, Quins' powerful Tongan No8, turned the ball over in midfield with a crunching tackle on Cencus Johnston, Mehrtens hacked the ball down field and Strettle's replacement touched down just before the ball hit the dead ball line.
After the break Saracens found new momentum and when Rodd Penney fielded a clearing kick by Mehrtens the Saracens wing cut inside, Neil De Kock continued the move and an enormous gap opened up for Thomas Castaignède to glide through to put daylight between the sides.
Saracens, who also have a European Challenge Cup semi-final here against Bath next Sunday, celebrated wildly. Their director of rugby, Alan Gaffney, said: "We should have scored three tries in the first 10 minutes and I felt a bit suicidal at half-time when we were only 14-12 up. We always thought we'd start this season slowly but are now peaking at just the right time. We've still got to play Worcester who are now playing for their lives but our destiny is in our own hands."

I use standard RCBS reloading dies for my jacketed bullets. I bought a Lee Factory Crimp Die to crimp them. You can use the RCBS dies to crimp but I think the Lee die works better.
I am looking to buy reloading dies for 35Rem. I have an RCBS rock chucker press and have reloaded for many years. I understand that reloading for the 35rem. can be a challenge with the angle of the shoulder. I will be loading both jacketed and cast bullets. What Die brand and set would you suggest?
I use standard RCBS reloading dies for my jacketed bullets. I bought a Lee Factory Crimp Die to crimp them. You can use the RCBS dies to crimp but I think the Lee die works better.
Does the RCBS reforming/depriming die flare the case?
The RCBS sizing die does not flare the case.Lyman make the M die for that. I thought Lee had one too but I couldn't find it on their site.I've been using the Lee collet neck die for my 30/30 and 35 Rem. Some people say you can't use a neck die for a lever. I'am on my second or third loads for the brass no problems yet.FS reloading shows a Lee universal flaring die
The 35Remington is said by some to have very short brass life because of the small shoulder, but in most cases this would be caused by over sizing of the brass. Always with bottle neck cartridges, size the brass the minimum amount possible that will allow brass fired in your chamber to again chamber in your chamber after sizing. This can be done with a Full Length die and you do not need a Neck Sizing die.
The RCBS dies will work just fine, but as said, if you are loading cast bullets, you will need a neck expanding/flairing die to take care of that situation. Lyman make a product which will take care of that need.
Some like the Lee "Factory Crimp Die" but I think it is a sometimes thing and most of the time a quality 2 die set will do the job without the extra expanse and additional step.
Sending a "PM" your way.

Dry the River
The t-shirt was designed collaboratively between Jonathan Lindley, Art Director, and Peter Liddle of Dry The River. The two of them organized a photo shoot at Turton Towers which is a historic building half way between Bolton and Darwen. The design is based on their song "History Book", depicting a Victorian technique which was used in schools in order to correct children's posture. As Peter explains, "I really like the idea of using old books to say something about the weight of history and how we all labour underneath that... I feel like maybe we're all balancing history books on our heads, in that we're carrying the weight around with us, the burden of responsibility".
About The Band
Since mid 2009, Dry the River have lived and worked in their shared home in Stratford, east London. A disparate bunch from singer-songwriter Peter Liddle, drawing narrative inspiration from university studies in Medicine and Anthropology, to once homeless punk-rock drummer Jon Warren and classically trained violinist William Harvey, the band grew from the haphazard seeds of varied personal and musical upbringings taking inspiration from Neil Young to Arlo Guthrie to Neutral Milk Hotel via Bruce Springsteen and Devendra Banhart. They've toured with such acts as Plan B, Bowerbirds, Johnny Flynn and the Magic Numbers.

So far very happy that I did it. The recovery hasn't been too bad. Decided to do it because I had a huge diastasis and lots of extra skin after carrying triplets to 34 weeks.
Today I woke up with increased swelling of the 2-3 inches above my incision. I feel more uncomfortable and have increased "tightness". It doesn't feel soft like fluid accumulation and it doesn't look infected. Today is a holiday so I can't really call the office to have them take a look at it. I'm feeling worried and just wondered if this is normal.

After missing the opening pool match against the USA, the chilled-out Wasps flyer has been an ever-present in the England side.
He has answered questions over his defensive abilities, even bundling Sebastien Chabal into touch against France, and chipped in with two tries in both the Samoa and Tonga victories.
A keen footballer in his youth, Sackey had trials for Crystal Palace and, according to hooker Mark Regan, "only eats burgers".
What are these?
