It's very amateurish and lack of details. Good start though. As of now you're in the stage of learning, you still need to understand the principles (spacing, typography, color theory etc.) and work on it. Do not give up and keep designing. Best of luck.
themelux saidthank you both very'll take their advice
While this is an amazing start there are a ton of things to be fixed. The overall quality of the image could be improved and one of the biggest things I noticed was the main navigation was HUGE I would lower the size on it!
I have no iphone or ipad but you have my vote ;D
Well a few weeks ago, had posted a template psd that at that moment I looked excellent, after watching several tutorials and templates ThemeForest popular here in this get a much better result than the last but certainly I still have to learn and understand more about this.
So here I leave this job (preview) hope their criticisms and comments.

Weather Outlook — Kyle Imhoff, Department of Earth and Mineral Sciences
After a very soaking rain that fell across much of the region early in the week, a much drier period will begin starting early Thursday and last in to the upcoming weekend. Some showers will occur across parts of the state during the day on Wednesday, with far southeastern Pennsylvania having the potential for some heavier showers later on in the day. Beginning on Thursday, a ridge of high pressure will build in to the area from the west, resulting in dry conditions and moderating temperatures. On Friday and in to the weekend, temperatures will remain near normal levels with clear conditions across the state. Some showers may try to enter the region later on Sunday in to the early part of next week. As discussed in the previous outlook on May 1st, alternating episodes of dry and wet weather will continue through the middle part of the month as next week looks to bring another period of unsettled weather to the state.
Thin Alfalfa Plantings: Deciding When to Give Up — Marvin Hall, Penn State Forage Specialist
I have received many phone calls and email messages over the past several weeks expressing concern about new alfalfa seedings being very thin (few plants per square foot). These communications inevitably end with this question "how thin is too thin to keep the seeding?"
I have generally said that the bare minimum number of alfalfa plants in a new seeding should be 15 per square foot. If the numbers drop below that threshold then the stand will not yield as well as it could, stand longevity may be compromised and weed competition may be a greater problem. I recently went back to alfalfa studies I've conducted over the past 20 years where the new stands were variable (17 locations/environments) but we kept the plantings and collected data from them.
Unfortunately, 16 alfalfa seedlings per square foot was the lowest density (average of five locations) we collected data from. The new alfalfa seedings with plant densities of 16 alfalfa plants per square foot produced less yield than the greater plant densities only for the 1st harvest in the seeding year (see Table). Subsequent yields were not different between 16 and 60 seedlings per square foot.
|Plant density 4 weeks after planting
Plants per square foot
|1st Harvest Yield
|Seeding year total yield
|1st Harvest yield in year after seeding
|(% of average)
|Least Significant Difference at 0.05
We also monitored the plant density from these studies for five years and found no difference in stand density after 18 months. Consequently, initially thinner stands of 16 plants per square foot had the same length of stand life as much higher stand densities.
So, if your new alfalfa plantings have 15 or more seedlings per square foot then they are worth keeping!
Maturity and Diseases on Winter Grains — Greg Roth, Grain Crop Management
Maturity of our winter barley and wheat is well ahead of normal and could have some important consequences on crop yield and management this year. Barley heading dates for Thoroughbred, a popular winter barley were April 29 at our Rock Springs trial this year, compared to May 12 last year and May 5 in 2010. Our wheat lines started heading May 7 compared to May 26 last year and May 15 in 2010. This will likely mean that our small grains, if not damaged by previous frost, could benefit from cooler temperatures during the grain fill period, and perhaps a longer grain fill period and higher yields.
Harvest could also be earlier this year leading to expanded opportunities for double cropping with soybeans. With the current price of soybeans, this could be a good opportunity for grain producers who plan accordingly.
The disease situation in wheat is critical to monitor. Powdery mildew and Stagonospora have been advancing upward in the canopy in our variety trial recently with the cool wet conditions. With the potential high yields in this year's crop, it is important to try to keep these diseases off the top two leaves. There are striking differences among varieties for mildew resistance in our trials so if you are seeing heavy mildew infestations, you may want to reevaluate varieties for next year.
Most wheat is heading and or flowering and is at or approaching the critical stage for treating for head scab or other diseases if the risk is high. The risk for head scab has been low on the FHB Risk Assessment Tool, but today high risk areas began to appear on our map, likely due to the warm and wet conditions this week. There is also some risk of a leaf rust infestation as Kentucky has reported rust in many fields. Some of those spores could have moved here during the last two weather fronts that moved through.
I would be monitoring wheat diseases and planning fungicide applications accordingly. Triazole fungicides such as Caramba and Prosaro have the most activity on Fusarium Head Blight when applied at flowering. These products also provide good control of powdery mildew, leaf blotches and rust when applied for the critical early grain fill period.
Preemergence Soil Residual Herbicides For Soybean — Bill Curran and Dwight Lingenfelter, Penn State Weed Science
We have seen a number of new soil applied soybean herbicide products come into the market place over the last few years. Most of these are new mixtures of active ingredients found in other products although a few such as Sharpen (saflufenacil) are new active ingredients. Unlike some areas of the US, most PA farmers that grow soybeans have fortunately had fairly diverse rotations that include corn, small grains, Roundup Ready and conventional crops, maybe alfalfa or other types of hay and probably some tillage helping to diversify the weed management program. Herbicide resistant weeds and in some cases no-till are driving the adoption of residual herbicides. Some northeastern farmers certainly do and would benefit from residual herbicide programs in soybean, so where do they make the most sense?
Here is our list:
- Long-term continuous no-till where reliance on herbicides is greater than where tillage is used is a prime candidate.
- Roundup Ready crops - This becomes even more important in continuous Roundup Ready soybeans and corn which often depend heavily on glyphosate for weed control. This is where horseweed/marestail is a problem in soybean and glyphosate alone will NOT work.
- Wide-row soybeans can benefit from a residual herbicide in combination with a single well-timed post application. This helps suppress the weeds early in the summer and the post application cleans things up.
- Perennial weeds – With problem perennials like Canada thistle, pokeweed, hemp dogbane, or other problem perennials, glyphosate applied to the perennial weeds at the bud to bloom stage will have the biggest bang for the buck (or better yet in the fall). Control the annual weeds with the soil- applied residual program to allow for the slightly later more optimum post application targeting the perennials.
- If you routinely have problems controlling annual weeds because of high severity, prolonged germination pattern, or other reasons with a single in-crop application, then a soil applied program can make sense.
- If you are unfortunate enough to be dealing with glyphosate resistant or tolerant weeds like horseweed (marestail), ragweed, or lambsquarters, then a soil residual program will help this effort. This can also be true for ALS-resistant weeds like shattercane, pigweed, and foxtail.
- Finally, a soil residual program can definitely provide some insurance and lessen the workload when weather and tight spray schedules are frequently a problem in making a well timed application.
So, as you prepare to plant that soybean crop, consider where residual programs make the most sense and choose the program for good reason(s).
Two Caterpillars to Consider: Black Cutworm and Armyworm — John Tooker, Penn State Entomology Specialist
Unlike the Midwest and Great Plains that have experienced heavy black cutworm flights this spring, Penn State's Black Cutworm Monitoring Network has yet to formally detect a significant flight of black cutworm moths (eight moths over two nights) in any of our traps across the state. While we have not detected a significant flight, we have had the highest trap activity near Kutztown (Berks County) and Hallam (York County). Given the warm spring across the eastern US, it may be that spring flights have been protracted a bit, preventing large populations from coming north all at once.
Nevertheless, as young corn seedlings grow across the state, growers would be wise to scout their fields for cutting damage. Seed treatments and transgenic corn varieties can still be vulnerable to some damage, and it is worth reiterating that well-timed scouting and spot rescue treatments are usually the most economical strategy for managing black cutworm. For more details on black cutworm, its biology and management options see our fact sheet.
True armyworms: While Penn State does not have a statewide monitoring effort for true armyworm moths, Mary Barbercheck in the Department of Entomology has a few traps out in Centre County this Spring. These traps have captured an impressive number of moths, telling us that at least in the central part of the state true armyworm moths have arrived and their larvae are likely to be active soon. Growers should be aware of this pest and some of the factors that contribute to fields being "at risk" for damage. True armyworm typically causes problems in reduced tillage or no-till systems when corn is planted after a small-grain cover crop or when corn is adjacent to recently harvested small grains. They can be particularly problematic when the window between burning down a small-grain cover crop and corn planting is too narrow (less than two weeks).
Adult moths fly into Pennsylvania after overwintering in the soil in states to our south. Females lay their eggs on weeds and/or grasses along field margins or on small grains and move to corn when weeds or grain cover crops are killed with herbicides. Armyworm can occasionally cause problems feeding on small grains sowed for harvest, but tend to be problematic more often in corn when small grains are harvested because armyworms move to young corn plants. Armyworms tend to feed at night along the margins of corn leaves, avoiding midribs. During the day, larvae hide in leaf sheaths or in the soil or leaf litter.
Rescue treatments are usually the most efficient and economical tactic for managing true armyworm because populations are very spotty and preventative applications may not have sufficient residual activity to kill caterpillars that hatch out later. Armyworms can warrant treatment should infestations reach 25% of plants in a field. A recently revised fact sheet provides more information on armyworm.
Residual Corn Herbicides in Post Applications — Dwight Lingenfelter and Bill Curran, Penn State Weed Science
The unusual weather patterns interspersed with recent rainy and windy periods have made it difficult for timely herbicide applications. In some cases, burndown herbicides and residuals were applied a few weeks ago and are now running out of steam or the corn is already coming up and no herbicides, including a burndown, have been applied. Unless it's Roundup Ready or Liberty Link corn, the options for broad spectrum burndown are very limited. (We do not recommend application of Gramoxone even if the corn is in spike stage, but would suggest other herbicide tank mixes or using 2-pass herbicide programs.)
There are a number of herbicides, including residual products that can be applied after planting up until corn and weeds reach a certain size or growth stage. The greatest risk of failure comes with trying to control annual grasses such as foxtail and panicum as they are emerging without including a foliar applied herbicide.
With the increasing acres of Roundup Ready (glyphosate) and Liberty Link (Liberty 280) corn, we have more flexibility in how we manage weeds after emergence. In addition, a number of "conventional corn" products are available to control emerged grasses (e.g., Accent Q, Basis Blend, Capreno, Equip, Impact/Armezon, Laudis, Option, Realm Q, Resolve, Resolve Q, Steadfast (ATZ) and Steadfast Q). Even more products are available for broadleaf weed control.
In most cases, these POST or foliar-applied herbicides can be tank-mixed with residual products to provide several weeks of control. For most products, do not apply in a liquid fertilizer carrier if corn has emerged or injury may occur. Maximum corn and weed sizes vary for early POST herbicide applications in corn depending on the product.
Herbicides such as Balance Pro, Radius, and Princep must be applied before corn emergence. Balance Flexx and Corvus contain a safener and can be applied up to early POST (V2 growth stage) to corn. Other herbicides such as Bicep II Magnum, Bullet, Dual II Magnum, etc. can be applied to corn up to 5 inches tall. Acetochlor-containing products such as Degree (Xtra), Harness (Xtra), FulTime, Keystone (LA), and SureStart can be applied to corn up to 11 inches tall. Herbicides including Atrazine, Lumax, Lexar, Guardsman Max, and Realm Q can be applied to corn up to 12 inches tall (20 inches tall for Resolve Q). And finally, Prowl H2O, Halex GT, and Warrant can be applied to 30 inch tall corn or less.
Keep in mind, when tank-mixing with other pesticides, to follow the most restrictive product label. For a listing of additional herbicides and maximum corn heights and information on maximum weeds sizes for these products please refer to Table 2-2.12 in the Penn State Agronomy Guide. Or refer to the most recent herbicide label for use guidelines and additional information— http://www.cdms.net/ or www.greenbook.net or http://www.agrian.com/labelcenter/results.cfm.
Slug Populations are Ramping Up, Alfalfa Weevil Ramping Down — John Tooker, Penn State Entomology Specialist
We are starting to hear about slug infestations this spring. The warm winter likely allowed more slugs to survive the cold weather, and the recent wet weather and cool evenings have been ideal for slugs. Now, we are starting to hear of slug infestations across the state in emerging corn and soybean fields. Slugs, of course, are most often problematic in no-till systems and thrive in high moisture, high residue fields.
While growers have limited control options available for slugs, an integrated approach that deploys a suite of tactics against slugs is best. For fields with heavy residue or a history of slug infestations, growers should consider mechanical, biological, and chemical options. Even in no-till fields, some light mechanical options may be available and helpful. Some of our research in collaboration with Sjoerd Duiker here at Penn State indicates that a shallow, vertical disking of only three inches deep prior to planting can knock back slug damage by nearly 80%. This disking appeared to be useful because it reduced the amount of residue on the soil surface, perhaps decreasing housing for slugs. Similar results may be found with turbo-till units, though we have not been able to assess these vertical tillage units very well.
Natural enemies common to most agricultural fields also have a chance to contribute to slug control. Some ground beetle species and other soil dwelling creatures are voracious slug predators. Unfortunately, natural enemy populations in many crop fields never get a chance to build because of regular use of insecticides. Some growers tank-mix insecticides in the spring as an insurance policy against other potential crop pests, but it should be recognized that applications of insecticides in absence of crop damage are economically dubious and have the potential to disrupt often unrecognized natural enemy-provided control.
If slug problems are particularly bad, growers have to consider chemical options. Metaldehyde baits (e.g., the Deadline line of products) are typically the first choice, but are usually most effective when applied carefully over just the infested portion of the field rather than being broadcast field wide. As an alternative to metaldehyde baits, some growers have had success controlling slugs with nitrogen solutions, which are typically applied at night with 30% nitrogen mixed one to one with water and sprayed over the field at 20 gallons to the acre. This is a contact poison with no residual activity so it needs to contact slugs when they are active and available on plants (it is not clear how much of the nitrogen becomes available to the plant). As a last resort for fields with severe slug problems, growers in Pennsylvania have the option via a "2ee Recommendation" to use Lannate LV against slugs. I am aware of only one evaluation of Lannate for slug control and the results were not perfect, so I would encourage growers to use this as a last option primarily because of the toxicity of this carbamate insecticide.
For a full sense of slug life history and control options available, see our recently published slug fact sheet.
Alfalfa Weevil: For most of Pennsylvania alfalfa weevils should be winding down—if you still see them in the field, the larvae should be nearly mature and almost ready to pupate. According to the PA-PIPE (Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education) system (following the link at the top of the page and then click "public maps" and then "alfalfa weevil") alfalfa weevils should be in the non-damaging pupal stage, whereas central and northern counties should be seeing later instar larvae.
Alfalfa weevil is typically a pest of the first cutting of alfalfa, and it is uncommon for economic populations to feed on the re-growth of the second cutting—so resist any temptation to treat economically meaningless populations. For details on the life cycle, economic thresholds, and management options, see our alfalfa weevil fact sheet.
PA Crop Insurance Update — May, Gene Gantz, RMA/USDA, 717–497–6398, email@example.com
PA producers received $61.4 million in crop insurance indemnities that were paid to over 8,500 farms for a statewide average of $2.95 for each dollar of producer paid premium. Enrollments for 2012 crop insurance protection increased, as did the level of protection purchased, with nearly 600 more policies enrolled at the coverage levels of 70% and higher, compared to 2011.
2012 may well be the year that will reward producers for paying more attention to details. These details include placing extra emphasis on production and risk management throughout the growing season. Many producers have already made their decision to insure their corn, soybeans and other crops at levels of protection that they have determined are necessary to manage their risk exposures and as a foundation for their crop marketing plan.
The remaining ongoing responsibility will be to file prompt notice of damage of loss to your insurance agent if damage occurs. Many fruit growers have already taken this action because of late frost damage. As you do your field work, remember that many insurance policies for field crops include replanting and prevented planting coverage, as well as full growing season protection. But be sure to remember that a prompt notice of damage is required and an adjuster must be able to evaluate the damage in order for you to receive the full benefits of your policy(s). Also, be sure to file an accurate acreage report before the deadline.
If you have questions on deadlines for your area or on other issues, contact your crop insurance agent promptly.
Wishing you the best of success in 2012!
Lots of Mustard Family Weeds Bringing Color to the Landscape — Bill Curran and Dwight Lingenfelter, Penn State Weed Science
As you drive around the state this time of year, you will see lots of yellow and white flowering herbaceous plants. Many of these are considered weed species and members of the mustard family also known as the Brassicaceae or Cruciferae family. Plants in this family are numerous and often winter annuals or perhaps biennials and perennials. They generally form a basal rosette that over winters and produces a branched flowering stems in early to mid spring. The flowers are yellow or white (sometimes purple) have four petals and four sepals. The fruits are seed pods and are either a compact silicle which is usually ovate or an oblong silique that looks like a bean pod.
I discovered a nice publication from the University of Idaho published back in 2000 titled Mustards in Mustards which describes some common mustards and how to distinguish them http://www.cals.uidaho.edu/edcomm/pdf/WREP/WREP0143.pdf. Another useful website is from plant-life.org which does a nice job looking at different flower and fruit color and shape http://montana.plant-life.org/families/Brassicaceae.htm. Below are some of the more common mustard species that you now see flowering around our region.
- Birds-rape mustard (Brassica rapa) also known as field mustard and wild turnip is a winter annual or biennial. The leaves are smooth and clasp the stem. The plants often reach 3-feet in height, the flowers are yellow, and the fruits are siliques. This species is very similar in appearance to rapeseed or canola (Brassica napus)
- Dames rocket (Hesperis matronalis) is an erect biennial or perennial that can reach 5 feet in height. It is unique from other mustards in that the flowers are pink or purple in color. It is often confused with phlox species which have opposite leaves that are not toothed and flowers with five petals rather than four. Although it is considered somewhat invasive, its attractive appearance has helped it spread and has sometimes been a component of wild flower seed mixes.
- Field pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) is one of the most common winter annual mustards in the region. The flowers are white and the fruits are distinctly round and flat.
- Field pepperweed (Lepidium campestre) is a winter annual forming a basal rosette with finely toothed leaves. The plant bolts producing small white or greenish flowers that develop into egg-shaped silicles. This plant is very similar to Virginia pepperweed. The fruits of Virginia pepperweed are flat and round.
- Garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) is a biennial that is most common in wood lots and along field edges. It can become established in no-till and unmanaged pastures. The foliage has a "garlic" like odor when crushed. Generally considered an invasive species the first year's growth is short statured with triangular to heart-shaped leaves. The flowering plants that you see now have conspicuous white flowers that will produce long siliques
- Shepherd's-purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) is a winter annual producing a prostrate basal rosette. The flowering stems are mostly unbranched with mostly inconspicuous flowers producing a triangular to heart shaped silicle that is referred to as a "shepherd's purse".
- Wild Radish (Raphanus raphanistrum) is a winter or summer annual. The stems have stiff hairs and the leaf margins are toothed. The flowers are light to pale yellow fading to white with age producing a pod-like fruit (silique).
- Yellow Rocket (Barbarea vulgaris) a winter annual or biennial that has bright yellow flowers forming siliques. This is a weed found along roadsides, fallow fields, and sometimes in hay and pasture.

Romance is such a new construction. It was just a few hundred years ago that women were just purchased and traded out on the open market. This makes the history of Valentine's day both fresh and confusing.
Historians still aren't quite sure why Valentine's day is related to St. Valentine.
Was it that he fell in love with his jailer's daughter?
Was it that he married lovers?
We don't quite know.
What we do know is that some etymologists think Valentine's day is just a confusion of consonants. Back when the letters v and g were considered interchangeable, the Norman word "galantin" which meant "a lover of women," was at one time written and pronounced valantan AND valentin.
We love our romance, we can't be bothered to keep our consonants straight.
Sounds pretty human.
All of that said, my favorite part of Valentine's day are all the superstitions.
Graveyard Visions
Back in the 1600s, a girl, could conjure up a vision of her future spouse. All she had to do was go to the graveyard on St. Valentine's Eve at midnight.
There, she would sing a song and run around the church twelve times.
Boom. Vision of her future husband bestowed.
Stay at Home Version
If she didn't want to leave her house, she could do what this lady did back in 1754:
"Last Friday was St. Valentine's Day, and the night before I got five bay leaves and pinned four on the corners of my pillow and the fifth to the middle; and then if I dreamt of my sweetheart, Betty said we should be married before the year was out.
But to make it more sure I boiled an egg hard and took out the yolk and filled it with salt; and when I went to bed ate it shell and all, without speaking or drinking after it.
We also wrote our lovers; names on bits of paper, and rolled them up in clay and put them into water; and the first that rose up was to be our Valentine.
Would you think it? Mr. Blossom was my man. I lay abed and shut my eyes all the morning, till he came to our house, for I would not have seen another man before him for all the world."
Got that?
All you have to do is pin a few bay leaves to your pillow corners, boil an egg, take out the yolk without breaking the shell too much, fill the hole with salt and eat the whole thing without water.
Vision granted.
Humans, we are weird.
Tomorrow, we'll probably make some heart shaped bacon, cut up some heart shaped strawberries and deliver Valentines to the people we love the most.
Hope your Valentine's day is chock-full of love.

As the filming of the new James Bond movie takes place in Bregenz, Austria, fans are given the chance to see what happens behind the production there as an on-set video has been released.
As the production of new James Bond movie "Quantum of Solace" gets underway in Bregenz, Austria, a behind-the-scene footage of the filming there has been unleashed by the action movie's production team. The one minute long video contains some of the on-set location scenes as well as comments about the film by Daniel Craig, Olga Kurylenko and director Marc Forster.
Accompanied with 007's theme song, the footage opens with a clip in which sleek Bond walks amidst others to a spot that seems to be a bar table. The video then cuts into Craig's on-set interview followed with Foster's. The two discuss about what they have in mind on the new superspy agent and also what to expect from it. Though the compilation of clips doesn't reveal any action scenes, it still provides fans with many on-location shooting footages.
Bringing back Craig as the second time Bond, "Quantum" will serve as the follow-up film to "Casino Royale" as the story is said to be focusing on Bond seeking to mend his broken heart by unveiling the reason behind Vesper's betrayal and uncovering the organization blackmailing his former lover. The 22nd installment of the high octane Bond's adventures will be able to be seen in theaters on November 7.

Flower Child: Sam Fox's Newest Restaurant to Open April 29 in Arcadia
Courtesy of Flower Child
Get ready, people, because restaurateur Sam Fox seems confident that his newest restaurant concept is going to turn your entire life upside down.
Opening Tuesday, April 29 near the northeast corner of 44th Street and Camelback, Flower Child, "is the start of a food revolution by Sam Fox" -- at least according to a press release. (The release even included a poem to explain the restaurant's dedication to animals and organic produce. Seriously.)
So what exactly does this revolutionary new restaurant promise? Read on.
See also: Sam Fox's "Life-Changing Food Experience" on Camelback Is a Juice Bar
Courtesy of Flower Child
Located next door to Wally's American Pub & Grill, Flower Child will be a fast-casual health-focused restaurant serving a menu with naturally raised proteins, and organic and local produce. There will be no refined sugar.
Look for dishes such as an Asian avocado salad with kale, edamame, pickled mushroom, and sesame vinaigrette ($8) and a Thai buckwheat noodle salad that features avocado, mint, daikon radish, and Thai basil ($7). There's a selection of vegetable and grain plates that let you choose one ($4), two ($7), or three ($10) dishes to build-your-own meal. Options include red chile glazed sweet potato, quinoa tabbouleh, gluten-free macaroni and cheese, and Indian spiced cauliflower.
Proteins can also be added to any of the salads and plates -- grass-fed steak ($7), all-natural chicken ($5), sustainable salmon ($7), and organic tofu ($4).
The last sections of the menu include four whole grain wraps such as The Rebel with steak, charred onion, port salut cheese, horseradish yogurt, and arugula ($13) and the Thai Dye with spicy tofu, thai basil, carrot, daikon radish, cliantro, and snap pea ($9). There are also four hot pots that include a sesame beef bowl, organic tofu and mushroom pho, and madras curry chicken.
There will also be a small selection of organic beer and wine on tap, seasonal fresh lemonades, and dozens of varieties of loose-leaf hot teas.
Other features will include biodegradable packaging and "an environment that feels more like a buzzing farmers' market than a fast-casual restaurant." The design for the 3,300-square-foot restaraurant was inspired by "an East Coast potting shed" and will include an open kitchen and large windows.
We're still not sure how this is going to be the blaze that starts a food revolution.
The most interesting thing we've heard so far is that this will be the first restaurant to offer kombucha on tap.
Flower Child will open on Tuesday, April 29.

Program Records Fall on Day 2 of SEC Championships
Feb. 20, 2013
COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The Kentucky men's swimming team found historic success on Day 2 of the 2013 Southeastern Conference Swimming and Diving Championships. Lucas Gerotto, Tripp Crosthwaite and Travis Green each had swims that would put them high in the UK record books for many years to come.
"We had some great swims on the men's side especially," said UK head swim coach Gary Conelly. "Travis Green went fourth-best ever in the 500-freestyle while Tripp and Lucas broke team records in the 200-IM."
Green's career-high time of 4:21.47 puts him fourth all-time in Kentucky history in the 500-freestyle event and earned the senior 15th place, scoring points for the Wildcats.
Later in the evening, Gerotto and Crosthwaite touched the wall consecutively to each break the UK men's all-time record in the 200-individual medley. Gerotto's time of 1:47.20 puts him a top the list in the Kentucky record books, while his senior teammate Crosthwaite now sits in second all-time at 1:47.25.
Gerotto's and Crosthwaite's swims were good enough to give them top-20 performances on the night to add to UK's tally while junior Will Heidler also earned a point for the Wildcats with a 24th place finish in the event with his time of 1:49.83, which is good for sixth all-time in school history in the 200-IM.
While the men started the second day of action off strongly, it was the women who capped it off on the backend.
Freshman diver Rebecca Hamperian rallied her way into the finals of the 1-meter springboard event Wednesday morning in the preliminaries. She was the lone Wildcat to make it to the finals in the event, and she did it in impressive fashion.
"Rebecca Hamperian made an awesome run on her last two dives of the preliminaries to get into the final," said UK diving coach Ted Hautau. "Which is great to see in a freshman and shows her growth over the course of one season."
Hamperian finished the night in eighth place with a 283.85.
To close out the evening, the team of Laura Dawson, Megan Eppler, Mandy Myers and Christina Bechtel earned UK's best relay performance of the SEC Championships thus far. In the 200-freestyle relay, the foursome earned eighth place with a time of 1:32.06 to earn big points for the women's team heading into the third day of events
After two days of action on the campus of Texas A&M, the Kentucky men sit in 10th place (119), while the women hold on to ninth place (194) at the 2013 SEC Championships. Day 3 action begins at 11 a.m. ET. Thursday's list of events is as follows:
Thursday, Feb. 21
400 IM (prelims)-- 10 a.m.

A jobs-oriented social network for military service members is opening to a new kind of recruit this Memorial Day: Veterans. That expands its target market nearly tenfold from 2.5 million to some 24 million people.
RallyPoint, which launched last November and has raised $1.6 million from angel investors, was previously open only to active servicemen and women and focused primarily on career movement within the military, said co-founder Yinon Weiss. In its first half-year, it signed up nearly or 25,000 active military members, or 1 percent. RallyPoint aims to make that 10 percent in the next year.
Now the site, founded by two Iraq War veterans turned Harvard Business grads, has partnered with AT&T (NYSE:T), Lexmark (LXK) and Bloomberg LP for Phase 2, when anyone who has served in the U.S. armed forces can join.
(Read More: Veterans' Next Battle: Finding a Job )
RallyPoint will highlight both military and post-military experience in terms other servicemen and women understand. In addition to career opportunities within the military, the site will focus on openings in the private sector, academia and volunteering.
Until now, military members could reach out only to corporate participants, such as Amazon (AMZN), Target (TGT) and Accenture (ACN), that have specialized military recruiters on staff. In the new phase RallyPoint members will be able to connect with veterans anywhere who come onto the site to represent their company, vastly expanding the potential to network.
Weiss said the system and hierarchy of the military call for functionalities that don't compute on a civilian site like LinkedIn (LNKD), such as the ability to search for people and jobs by rank, military base, specialty or training code. Indeed, because the military is a closed ecosystem, Weiss said: "Most don't think of joining LinkedIn till they're out of the service. And that puts them at square one."
Other employment-related sites for former soldiers include jobs board Hire a Hero, which since 2006 has been connecting vets with companies eager to hire them. It has some 370,000 registered members, about 25,000 active, and currently lists 15,374 positions, according to Executive Director Rob Barr.
He said many soldiers come home with leadership skills and training that don't immediately translate to civilian workplaces. That's why the Armed Forces Support Foundation that backs Hire A Hero now has its sights on a new goal: To raise $350,000 by October for a pilot staffing agency to connect veterans to temp-to-hire positions. With Staff A Hero, transitioning veterans could get the kind of training, such as with spreadsheets or presentation software, that few in the military receive.
The similarly named Hiring Our Heroes was launched in March 2011 by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. According to its website, it has hosted more than 430 hiring fairs and helped more than 18,400 veterans and military spouses get jobs.
Yet another approach is taken by CareerMob, a not-yet-live site that will use questionnaires to match vets with career paths they may not have thought of, and will recruit former military members in targeted fields to mentor newcomers.
Co-founder Josh Seefried said he and his partners are "still coding it up, talking to investors," but that they hope to launch in the coming weeks. CareerMob gained attention by winning the competition StartupBus, in which teams developed start-up concepts en route to the SXSW technology and arts festival in Austin, Texas.
(Read More: Investors Eye SXSW Start-Up that Started on a Bus )
LinkedIn does host military user groups such as Iraq War Veterans and US Army, where many thousands connect and exchange career information.
Barr said he doesn't feel competitive with the other job sites, and he would encourage veterans to use any or all of them. "Networking is always the best way to get a job," he said. "I'm all for it."
(Disclosure: Comcast, the parent company of NBCUniversal and CNBC, joined the Hiring Our Heroes initiative and committed to hiring 2,000 veterans by 2015.)

My great-aunt Nancy Rice-Jones, who has died aged 96, was a leading light in the international refugee and social welfare movements. Her work for the precursors of many of today's best known organisations, together with her charisma, won her many friends all over the world.
She was born in Nottingham, the second of three children, although her family was Welsh. After school in Swansea, she did a two-year social work course at Bedford College, London. Her practical experiences of working with poor families opened her eyes to the reality of poverty in Britain, and shaped the rest of her career.
In 1932, she went to St Hugh's College, Oxford, to take a degree in philosophy, politics and economics, before moving back to social work, initially with the London County Council and then at the Birmingham Settlement.
During the second world war, Nancy served in the Auxiliary Territorial Service, now the WRAC, working in a military hospital in Birmingham. By her own account, she served with no distinction - an educated but unpractical lady among the other ranks.
A short period with the Control Commission in postwar Germany followed, and her subsequent life focused on international social welfare, particularly the plight of refugees. She rose to become head of the international department of the National Council of Social Services (now the National Council of Voluntary Organisations), and then moved on to be the British secretary of the International Council for Social Welfare.
Nancy formally retired in 1972 at the age of 60, but her commitment to working for refugees intensified and she took on a part-time role as administrative secretary for the Standing Conference on Refugees (now the Refugee Council). She was appointed MBE for her work in 1974.
During this period she travelled to crisis zones - Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, Palestine and many parts of Africa and Latin America. Her job involved coordinating the efforts of charities such as Oxfam and Help the Aged, and ensuring money was spent effectively on the ground.
Nancy's outgoing personality and generous character made her a lot of friends in far-flung corners of the globe, whom she delighted in visiting whenever possible. A favourite tactic was to follow up on a vague invitation to visit by marching straight to the travel agent and booking her flights, well before any protest could be lodged.
She continued to travel to countries including Canada, South Africa, Ethiopia, Australia and Laos until well into her later life. Even in her 90s, Nancy remained an active member of the United Nations Association, Asylum Welcome, and the Liberal Democrats in Oxford. She was a larger-than-life character whose interest in, and concern for, people from all walks of life and parts of the world endeared her to friends and colleagues alike.
Her sister Bettine survives her.

Fraudulent Emails Appearing to Come from NACHA
NACHA reports that individuals and organizations in the U.S. and other nations are receiving emails that fraudulently claim to come from NACHA regarding ACH payment transactions.
NACHA provides consumers and businesses with these tips:
- NACHA does not process nor otherwise touch the ACH transactions that flow via the ACH Network nor between financial institutions and their customers.
- NACHA does not send communications of any type to persons or organizations about individual ACH transactions that they originate or receive. If you or your member has received a communication of this nature that purports to come from NACHA, it is fraudulent.
- NACHA is the industry trade association that manages the development, administration, and governance of the ACH Network, the backbone for the electronic movement of money and data.
- The ACH Network serves as a safe, secure, reliable network for direct consumer, business, and government payments, and annually facilitates billions of payments, such as Direct Deposit and Direct Payment.
These incidents are occurring with greater frequency and increased sophistication. Perpetrators are conducting similar phishing attacks in which they are sending fraudulent emails that claim to be from the Federal Reserve Bank, IRS, other federal agencies, as well as commercial financial institutions, other payment organizations, technology companies, and businesses.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman on Friday said the reason so many Republicans are opposed to the Federal Reserve's new monetary stimulus scheme of quantitative easing is because they really want the economy to stay weak in order to harm President Obama.
Readers are advised to strap themselves in tightly in preparation for the paranoid lunacy on display:
What do the government of China, the government of Germany and the Republican Party have in common? They're all trying to bully the Federal Reserve into calling off its efforts to create jobs. And the motives of all three are highly suspect.
After somewhat explaining the plan and why he thinks it's necessary, Krugman made with the conspiracy theories:
So what's really motivating the G.O.P. attack on the Fed? Mr. Bernanke and his colleagues were clearly caught by surprise, but the budget expert Stan Collender predicted it all. Back in August, he warned Mr. Bernanke that "with Republican policy makers seeing economic hardship as the path to election glory," they would be "opposed to any actions taken by the Federal Reserve that would make the economy better." In short, their real fear is not that Fed actions will be harmful, it is that they might succeed. [...]
No doubt some of Mr. Bernanke's critics are motivated by sincere intellectual conviction, but the core reason for the attack on the Fed is self-interest, pure and simple. China and Germany want America to stay uncompetitive; Republicans want the economy to stay weak as long as there's a Democrat in the White House.
Let's think about this for a moment.
If Krugman were correct, and the goal of the GOP was to sabotage the recovery to harm Obama, then wouldn't Republicans be pushing for allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire on December 31?
Certainly, the best way to tank this fragile economy would be to usher in the largest tax hike in history on New Year's Day.
As it's Republicans that want all the tax cuts to be made permanent in order to give businesses and consumers the dollars they need to make purchases and investments, it is specious to say the GOP are trying to undermine the recovery.
Sadly, this is just an extension of the media's ad nauseam claim that if you oppose Obama's policies it's because you're racist.
All this Nobel laureate has done is give that silly postulate a financial flare.

Look, since I guess I'm currently the only admin here, I've been tasked with perma-banning you.
Before you do though, I'm putting aside all of my characters to tell you what I really think of you.
First, you are NOT and administrator on this wiki. You do NOT get to waltz right in and make yourself the head honcho of this wiki. No one here likes you going around and breaking canon just so you can play grandmaster. If anyone, the administrators should get to be higher up on the totem pole, not whiny, insolent, ungreatful little whelps like you. Look at everyone else here, they all have characters that can weave in and out of the episodes, but you on the other hand, you blatently go crashing though the story, not carrying if your stories make any sense. Then you go on to toss aside characters that had substance, like Todd.
Next is your needless obsession over Per. WHY? You'd think after the first 50 times he rebuked you, that you'd wise up and try to play teacher's pet with someone else before that person kicked you out.
Now it comes to your contributions and asnine comments on how we need to re-structure the wiki. You have posted NO atrifacts to the database, your sections are futile at best, and you don't seem to know when you are behind. We will not change this just for one whiny brat. We've made this clear, so why do you keep coming back? You are a minority of one with no power here.
Finally, why, why, WHY do you keep pestering us with your stories? As you can tell, we can tolerate them when they improve, but other than that, we have no intrest in reading them. If you want reviews, post them on Fan Fiction and see how well people like them, because we here at the wiki sure as hell don't care much for them.
I don't want you to respond flamboyantly to this. When you have read this, just respond 'I have read this'. Don't try to pull some Agent Karess bullshit over on me. This is between you and me as wiki users, not your little O.P'ed character who thinks he can walk around the Warehouse like he owns the place. Oh wait, he doen't think that, he does that already to everyone's disgust.
Without wax,
Afftectos, all of the Historical Artifact Recovery Personnal, current Warehouse Agents, and most of all, Mrs. Frederic.Loading editor

Brandon Rhea, Jan 25 04:59 pm (UTC): Hello, Thank you for contacting Wikia. I'm sorry you're having this experience. One of the great things about Wikia is that our wikis are maintained by their members, and each can be managed differently depending on the preferences of the admins. The downside of this freedom of community, however, is that Wikia staff members do not intervene in most user disputes. It sounds like your choices are to either compromise and try to get along with this admin, or to focus your efforts on another wiki where your contributions are more appreciated. I would also suggest considering walking away from the situation and not associating with this user any further. A clean break could be good for everyone. I hope you find the solution you need. We will put this to our fullest extents. Best regards, Brandon Rhea Wikia Community Support

Pirates close to deal with lefty Sanchez
The Pirates have made progress toward signing free-agent left-hander Jonathan Sanchez, who if healthy will head to spring training Monday to vie for a roster spot. Monday night, an industry source confirmed the club and Sanchez are close to an agreement on a minor league deal.
A deal with Sanchez might signal an end to talks with free-agent lefty Francisco Liriano. The Pirates tried to sign Liriano in December, but backed away after he broke his upper right arm. Liriano is not expected to be ready to pitch by Opening Day.
Sanchez, 30, last season went a combined 1-9 with an 8.07 ERA in 15 starts with the Kansas City Royals and Colorado Rockies. He went on the 15-day disabled list in May due to biceps tendinitis, then went on the 60-day DL with the same injury in August. In 2011, Sanchez missed time with a sprained left ankle.
Before last season, the San Francisco Giants traded Sanchez to Kansas City for outfielder Melky Cabrera. Sanchez put up a 7.76 ERA in 12 starts before the Royals designated him for assignment. Sanchez then was dealt to the Rockies, for whom he was winless with a 9.53 ERA in three starts.
Sanchez made $5.6 million last season. He has not drawn heavy interest this offseason on the free-agent market due to his injury problems and declining performance.
Sanchez was a 13-game winner in 2010 with the Giants. He averaged 9.5 strikeouts per nine innings that season and led the league in fewest hits allowed per nine innings (6.6).
The Pirates eyed Sanchez in 2009, when they were shopping second baseman Freddy Sanchez (no relation). Jonanthan Sanchez's stock skyrocketed when he threw a no-hitter on July 10, 2009, amassing 11 strikeouts in an 8-0 victory against the San Diego Padres.
The Pirates eventually dealt Freddy Sanchez to San Francisco for prospect Tim Alderson, who last season pitched for Double-A Altoona and Triple-A Indianapolis.
Pirates pitchers and catchers report Monday to Bradenton, Fla., and will have their first spring training workout the following day.

TSG files Chapter 11
November 30, 2009,
North Wales, Pa. – On the brink of a loan default, fabric finisher TSG Incorporated filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
Its four operating divisions include: Synfin Industries, Synthetics Finishing, Combeau Industries, and Longview Machinery Company.
TSG owes PNC Bank approximately $4.9 million under three separate loans, which were secured by "substantially all" of the company's property and some of its mortgages, according to bankruptcy court documents. One of the loans is due to mature today, another tomorrow.
While the third loan won't mature until Dec. 1, 2010, defaulting on any one loan automatically throws the others into default, the company told the court.
Under the terms of its loan agreements, TSG owes the bank more than $2.7 million as of tomorrow, according to court records. TSG told the court it had tried and failed over several months to reach an agreement with PNC.
The fabric finisher has asked the court to allow it to use cash collateral to keep its operations running and also requested an expedited ruling on the matter.
PNC cut off access to TSG's loan in late July, and the fabric finisher has been running operations using accounts receivable, the company said.
TSG is the second fabric-related business this month to have its funding by PNC shut off. In early November, fabric supplier Weave Corp. turned its assets over to the bank after PNC called loans worth $8.7 million. Weave has since re-opened.
TSG continues to operate. It began in 1901 as Levy's International Water Shrinking and Drying Company. At its peak, it employed 500 hundred people and operated five facilities in Pennsylvania and North Carolina. Today it employs 105.

Cruising with family aged 11 through 80!: Carnival Glory Cruise Review by PattiPB
Overall Member Rating
Cruising with family aged 11 through 80!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Background: My parents have done at least 30 cruises. My sister and her husband are on their fifth, and my family has done nine. As a group, we've done four Carnival cruises.
Arrival/embarkation: We all flew into Ft. Lauderdale [Southwest from Las Vegas (me), Tampa (parents) and Philadelphia (sister)]. Stayed overnight at Holiday inn Doral ($70 priceline). Decent hotel---no breakfast, though. Shuttle from Ft. Lauderdale was $80. We rented a minivan for one day for $60 total. Sunday, we returned the minivan, and Dollar shuttled us to the Port of Miami. My sister took a taxi for $65. Embarkation was quick and painless. At the terminal at 11:30, eating on the Lido at More 12:15.
Staterooms: Balcony cabins 8266/68/70. Steward opened the locks on the balcony doors, so we had a triple balcony with access to all our rooms. Very convenient. Cabins were fabulous. The most storage space we've ever had in a cabin---including other CCL, RCCL, NCL and Disney ships. My parents bathroom lock didn't work---fixed immediately. Sister had no hot water---fixed immediately.
Travel conditions: Seas were rough the first few days. Captain and CD made many announcements reminding guests to be careful. Seas were so rough the Living in America show was postponed for safety of performers. Worst seas we've ever had----didn't negatively affect our experience at all! Sun was shining every day, wind was what we usually expect at sea. It was Spring Break but we encountered NO drunk and disorderly people, or over-the-top partiers at all. If anything, nightclubs were less busy than we've seen in the past. Bars were hopping, as was the casino. A few groups of running kids in the hallways---but they were generally on scavenger hunts with the kids clubs.
Dining experiences: We are NOT foodies, although we've dined at some extremely fine restaurants over the years (we live in Vegas, not a small town). Hands down: The BEST food we've ever experienced on Carnival. There was not one night when MULTIPLE starters and entrees weren't being delivered to our table. We even discussed it on the way to the airport yesterday---couldn't pick one favorite dish over another. Lido was fine---long lines for Mongolian grill and Burrito stations. Fish and chips---fabulous and never a wait. Always waiting for pizza to be ready, but the calzones made the wait worth it. Chocolate buffet for lunch on the last day was brilliant! Everyone got to experience it, and the choices were fabulous. Much better idea than midnight.
Ship activities: Things didn't run on time, which is a pet peeve in my family. Stop waiting for the latecomers---it only encourages them to come even later!!! Bingo was fun---no winners this year, though. Kids loved the deck parties (line dancing) and enjoyed the movies on the big screen. Don't miss tea---we enjoyed it so much we did it both sea days. Neice (21) loved her spa treatments---no high-pressure selling. Enjoyed martini tasting (4 for $15), and we won the $50 off your booze purchase raffle in the store.
Comedy club/Karaoke: LOVED having four different comedians doing both family and adult sets. We saw all the comedians with and without our kids, and enjoyed it immensely. Unfortunately, I think they moved Karaoke to a much smaller venue to make room for the comedy, which definitely made Karaoke less desirable to the one member of our family who does it every night. My kids, however, LOVED the family karaoke times---they hadn't experienced it since Disney, and it was great for them.
Ports: What can I say??? Picked this itinerary specifically to return to our favorite ports in the Eastern Carib; can't go wrong with St. Thomas, San Juan and Grand Turk. There is so much to do, great things to see and beaches to explore. Nassau was a throwaway for us, but we did the Frommer's walking tour and it was a great way to see the city on our own. Here is how we spent each port day:
NASSAU: Walking tour. Took two hours. Great way to see the city at NO cost.
ST. THOMAS: Godfrey tour (second time)$30 per person. Loved the new lookout point since Mountaintop burned down. Didn't have enough time to do Secret Harbor, so we returned to Megan's Bay---sooo glad we did! Love that beach. SAN JUAN: Sister did Bacardi tour---enjoyed it very much. Good samples! We did both forts---LOVED it. Used the free shuttle system. GRAND TURK: Long and lazy beach day. It was wonderful! Be mindful of kids at Margaritaville---their version of "Quest" that day was definitely R-rated!!!
Disembarkation: Waited until 9:45, when the last group was called, and walked calmly and quietly off the beautiful Glory. It was a BREEZE!!! We were out the door meeting SAS transportation by 10:10 (great service to FLL for $13 per person).
Final comments: The Glory was in fabulous shape, the crew was attentive and pleasant, and it was overall a fabulous week. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. This was one of our best cruise experiences from embarkation to reviewing the pictures we purchased last night when we unpacked. If you are reading this in preparation for your Glory cruise---I envy you. Less

Cabin review: 8D8270 Balcony
8266/68/70 - a bit too close to the atrium elevators. We could hear the elevators "ding" when they arrived all night, and some loud conversations in the atrium area. Below other cabins, but very close to Lido pool and buffet.Read All Balcony (8D) Reviews >>

General Discussion / Re: MRT (Mississippi River Trail)« on: February 08, 2017, 11:25:48 am »
The MRT does still exist but the non-profit group that supported its development has ceased to exist in any formal state. While parts of the MRT are also the Great River Road, not all of it co-aligns. I think you might be able to find archived info about the MRT on this website: http://www.mississippirivertrail.org/ and Bob Robinson wrote a trail guide: https://www.amazon.com/Bicycling-Guide-Mississippi-River-Trail/dp/0981895204
The MRT is being supported through the National Geographic Geo Tourism project: http://mississippiriver.natgeotourism.com/ and individual state trail projects. Iowa and MN are the best supported/developed. Minnesota's section of the MRT is also designated as UBR 45 (see adventurecycling.org/usbrs and then search Maps and Route Resources). You can find DOT maps of the route: http://www.dot.state.mn.us/bike/mrt/ and Iowa: http://www.ctre.iastate.edu/mrt/
I believe there is also a great deal of traction around Memphis and the MRT due to the opening of the Harahan Bridge. I found this site which offers some links: http://www.lmrcc.org/outdoor-recreation/bicycling/
I hope all this helps!

The Philadelphia Flyers seem interested in trading veteran Vincent Lecavalier to Ottawa, but the likelihood of that actually happening appears remote.
However, it can't be completely ruled out as the Senators are looking to fill a void at centre following Tuesday's trade of Jason Spezza. And they still appear to have a logjam on the blueline.
Lecavalier, 34, scored 20 goals and 17 assists in 69 games last season and has 403 goals and 508 assists in 1106 career games. He also helped lead the Tampa Bay Lightning to the 2004 Stanley Cup.
But for any deal to happen, it's believed the Flyers, already facing serious salary cap issues, would have to assume a healthy portion of what remains on the five-year, $22.5 million contract Lecavalier signed last summer. Lecavalier also owns a no movement clause, meaning he could veto any deal.
According to Tim Panaccio of CSNPhilly.com, the Flyers were actively shopping Lecavalier at the NHL entry draft last weekend, but potential deals with Florida and Nashville fell apart over how much of the remaining contract the Flyers would assume.
While Lecavalier's salary cap hit is $4.5 million, it's a de-escalating contract. Lecavalier is due to make $6 million next season ($2 million of which has already been paid out in a signing bonus), $4.5 million in 2015-16 (including a $2 million signing bonus), $3 million in 2016-17 ($500,000 signing bonus) and $3 million in 2017-18.
Last summer, the Tampa Bay Lightning bought out the final seven years of Lecavalier's previous 11-year, $85 million deal.
The Senators did make an addition Thursday, signing 31-year-old defenceman Aaron Johnson. Johnson had four goals and 36 assists with Hartford of the AHL last season. He has played in 291 NHL games, with the Columbus (twice), the New York Islanders, Chicago, Calgary, Edmonton and Boston.

Maceo Parker
Pisgah Brewing Company
Friday, October 5, 2012 from 6:30 PM to 11:00 PM (EDT)
Maceo Parker: his name is synonymous with Funky Music, his pedigree impeccable; his band: the tightest little funk orchestra on earth.
Everyone knows by now that he's played with each and every leader of funk, his start with James Brown, which Maceo describes as " like being at University "; jumping aboard the Mothership with George Clinton; stretching out with Bootsy's Rubber Band. He's the living, breathing pulse that connects the history of Funk in one golden thread. The cipher that unravels dance music down to its core.
"Everything's coming up Maceo," concluded DownBeat Magazine in a 1991 article at the beginning of Maceo Parker's solo career. At the time Maceo was remembered by aficionados of funk music as sideman; appreciated mainly by those in the know. More than a decade and a half later Maceo Parker has been enjoying a blistering solo career. For the past sixteen years Maceo has been building a new funk empire, fresh and stylistically diverse. He navigates deftly betweenJames Brown's 1960's soul and George Clinton's 1970's freaky funk while exploring mellower jazz and the grooves of hip-hop.
His collaborations over the years performing or recording or both have included Ray Charles,Ani Difranco, James Taylor, De La Soul, Dave Matthews Band and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers.His timeless sound has garnered him a fresh young fan base.
It is almost impossible to separate which came first, Maceo or the funk. The amazing P-funk Parker has been at it with his legendary alto horn for some time dating back to the 1960's. That's when Maceo and his drummer brother Melvin climbed on board the James Brown funky soul funk train. It wasn't long before James coined the solo summoning signature, "Maceo, I want you to Blow!". To most musicologists it's the musically fertile group of men from this period of James Brown's band who are recognized as the early pioneers of the modern funk and hip-hop we still jump to today.

Wildlands & Woodlands
Wildlands & Woodlands (W&W) is a science-based conservation vision for the New England landscape.
The project is led by the Harvard Forest and Highstead and is advanced by partnerships, organizations, agencies, and individuals across the region.
The 2005 W&W report was written by a small group of Harvard Forest scientists. It established a scientific rationale for permanently protecting 50% of the Massachusetts landscape from sprawl and development.
The most recent W&W report, written by 20 scholars from institutions across New England, was released in 2010. It calls for increasing the pace of conservation to permanently protect 70% of New England in managed and wild forests by 2060. This scale of conservation would retain and enhance the many benefits that forests currently provide, including clean air and water, tourism and recreation, and an array of forest products.
The W&W reports, and the Harvard Forest research supporting them, have led to significant policy changes in Massachusetts and are becoming increasingly relevant at the federal level and in other regions across the country.
Much of this policy work is overseen by the Harvard Forest Program for Conservation Innovation and the Program for Science & Policy Integration.
Visit the Wildlands & Woodlands website to learn more.
