Beatriz Setuain, Head of Sales, Imagina, SpainFavourite film I really enjoyed Javier Ruiz Caldera's comedy Spanish Movie (main picture). It was a guilty pleasure. Plus we have been involved in so many of the films that they parody in this movie so it was quite a personal, but hysterical, experience for me. It was about time that they made such a movie here in Spain.Biggest news storyThree Spanish movies (

Bjorn Hoenvoll, Distributor, Nordisk Filmdistribusjon, NorwayFavourite filmThe Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (main picture). It may be unfair to choose one of our own releases, but still – Stieg Larsson's Millennium Trilogy was a best-seller, expectations for the film were high, and it delivered in full. Noomi Rapace in the lead was exactly as I had imagined [the character of Lizbeth Salander].Biggest news storyThe celluloid print has existed for more than 100 years, but in Norway i

Denis Pedregosa, head of productions, Kanzaman Films, SpainFavourite filmClint Eastwood's Gran Torino was brilliant. Clint's character reminded me of Dirty Harry, but now with self control. I actually didn't know what the film was about at first, I assumed it was something to do with the Gran Torino car, but then when I watched it I was hugely impressed by the story of him paying back his debt and the culture clash with his neighbours. The films I really enjoy are the o

Faruk Alatan, head of acquisitions, Medusa Films, ItalyFavourite filmIt was definitely My Bloody Valentine 3D (main picture), it was the opening of the 3D season [here] and we released it on 125 3D cinemas and made more than $8.6m (€ 6m). It was a surprise nobody expected. Everyone said, "don't buy 3D films" but that film has helped the growth of 3D screens in Italy. One small picture started it all.As far as international, it's the beginning of the era of 3Ds –

Harry Potter weaves magic on 2009 box officeWarner Brother's Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Price has topped the worldwide box office so far this year, taking $929.4m.
Hussain Amarshi, Distributor, Mengrel Media, CanadaFavourite film: The White Ribbon (main picture) by Michael Haneke is my absolute favourite film of the year. The scope of the film, the incredible tension that Haneke creates and the absolutely beautiful black and white images make this one the most compelling and important film of this year. It is also a film that people will be seeing 50 years from now. It is simply a maste

Jane CampionJane Campion fell in love with Andrew Motion's biography of John Keats, and knew that to do justice to a cinematic rendering of the ailing Romantic poet's chaste love affair with the headstrong, rebellious Fanny Brawne she would have to study hard. "I fell to my knees having read Motion's biography," Campion explains. "I was in awe of this story and the courage of these young people to go through what they do to face a certain end."Campion read and re-read Keats' letters before embarki
Jane Scott (pictured), Producer, Mao's Last Dancer, AustraliaFavourite filmInglourious Basterds (pictured right). It's classic Tarantino: challenging us with originality, violence, a compelling story of revenge and not a dull moment. He adds a confronting, curiously-spelt title. Loved it. We're a bloodthirsty lot.Biggest news story An inglourious basterd of another kind: Bernie Madoff. When Madoff went to tr

Nicely inspired by a true story.Biggest news story Good news came with new possibilities such
Jim SheridanJim Sheridan has coaxed some of the best performances from some of the finest actors in the business, so it is no surprise that he elicits career-best work from Tobey Maguire, Natalie Portman and Jake Gyllenhaal in his US remake of Susanne Bier's Brothers."I think one of the reasons I work well with actors is that I have been doing this since I was 17," he muses.

This is film is special as I feel no one could have told the story better than Imtiaz. And no one could have played the parts better than Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone and Giselli Monteiro. This was our first film with Illuminati Films Love Aaj Kal was a huge box office success in India and internationally.Biggest news story
Kathryn BigelowFor many, Kathryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker is one of the most tense cinematic experiences of the year, but Bigelow insists she is merely reflecting the real lives of the US bomb-disposal units in Baghdad."A day in the life of a bomb 'tech' in Baghdad, where bombs are at the epicentre of the conflict, is so inherently dramatic that I didn't need to give it many cinematic flourishes. It doesn't need it. Mark [Boa

Kim Dong-Ho, Festival Co-Director, Pusan International Film Festival, South KoreaFavourite filmI liked Bong Joon-ho's Mother (main picture) best. It has an extraordinary innate artistic value and Kim Hye-ja's acting was excellent, too. Of course, across the years I had seen her mostly in TV dramas and in Kim Soo-yong's film Late Fall [which was released in 1982], but again she gave a superior performance in Mother.Biggest news story

Peter JacksonIt was always going to be a risk for Peter Jackson to make a film of a novel as beloved as Alice Sebold's 2003 classic The Lovely Bones."There is no such thing as a perfect movie.

Auckland plays tribute to All Black great
Office of the Mayor
News Release
22 October 2012
Auckland plays tribute to All Black great
On behalf of Auckland, Mayor Len Brown has paid tribute to Sir Wilson Whineray, who died at Auckland Hospital today.
Sir Wilson was the longest serving captains of the All Blacks and was considered by many to be the All Black's greatest captain.
Auckland-born Sir Wilson played for six different provinces, but achieved his greatest provincial success captaining Auckland.
In his business career, positions held included Chairman of the National Bank and Chairman of Carter Holt Harvey.
He was also Chairman of the Hillary Commission and the first New Zealander inducted into the IRB Hall of Fame.
"Sir Wilson was a great leader with an outstanding business career, a wonderful kiwi," says the Mayor. "He not only led great All Black teams but one of the greatest Auckland teams. Sir Wilson was a true gentleman."
Sir Wilson was a member of the Mayor's first XV, a group of well known Aucklanders from all walks of life, who helped promote the Rugby World Cup in the lead up to RWC 2011.
He was 77.

Washington, DC— Nevada Senator Harry Reid released the following statement regarding Republican threats to shut down the government:
"Speaker Boehner said his goal is to not shut down the government. If he is serious about that, he should completely take a shutdown off the table and tell other Republicans to stop with the threats. A government shutdown could mean no Social Security checks for seniors, and no money for border security or paychecks for our troops. Families across the country are struggling and they are worried about their livelihoods.
They deserve better than threats of a government shutdown that would have devastating consequences at a time our country and their families could least afford them."

The Gallant-Lambert-Vanstone (GLV) algorithm uses efficiently computable
endomorphisms to accelerate the computation of scalar multiplication of
points on an abelian variety. Freeman and Satoh proposed for cryptographic use two families of genus 2 curves defined over $\\F_{p}$ which have the property that the corresponding
Jacobians are $(2,2)$-isogenous over an extension field to a product of elliptic curves defined over $\\F_{p^2}$. We exploit the relationship between the endomorphism rings of isogenous abelian varieties to exhibit efficiently computable endomorphisms on both the genus 2 Jacobian and the elliptic curve. This leads to a four dimensional GLV method on Freeman and Satoh\'s Jacobians and on two new families of elliptic curves defined over $\\F_{p^2}$.

FABTV: The Masthead With Marie Claire
We all know what goes on inside an issue of Marie Claire, but now we can witness what happens inside the inside. The Masthead With Marie Claire is a video series that goes behind the scenes of the publication's photo shoots to reveal styling and beauty secrets. Editor in Chief Joanna Coles narrates and other editors divulge the logic behind their fashion editorial decisions. In this particular episode, we get inside info about a tribute shoot for the late Yves Saint Laurent. Joanna shares interesting tidbits, including that they not only pulled YSL clothing but also pieces by other designers who were inspired by him. The camera also follows photographer Kevin Sinclair as he works to get the money shots.

With the great distance between communities across all the three territories, the provision of appropriate health services is a big issue for many people. Add to that, the lack of long term qualified staff and the North's health services sometimes just barely reach Canadian standards... so when Ms. Davies brought her Canadian Public Health Forum to Yellowknife... I wanted to attend. Knowing that only a few people from the North would be able to attend, I brought my video camera with me so others could participate.. at least in a second hand, digital kind of way...

You can issue your next request in the completion event handler (or post a task that then issues the next request). Whether or not there is priority doesn't matter, as the storage tasks can't run until your task completes. While the TinyOS task model could support the notion of priorities (its implementation in 1.x doesn't, but the 2.x scheduler is open to the idea), all of the concurrency analysis is at odds with preemption.

The context of the polling question was related to possibly
improving the throughput of the Soekris 4801 by enabling
polling to offset the throughput penalty of it's IRQ design.
Really a driver bug that only manifests on shared NIC IRQs.
I don't have a 4801 to test if polling makes any difference.
>> Turning on polling increased the machine's load to a noticeable level.
CPU load is not the same thing as bits/sec throughput.
A CPU load increase that gets you more bits/sec throughput
is a good thing (provided you still have enough CPU for
heavy loads).
If you are starting with only a P166 then the added CPU load
would not likely help the throughput. That wasn't the question
though. We are talking about a 4801 (faster CPU).

from 5th
Edition, February 2006
5th Edition, February 2006
February is just
three months away from June. While I
didn't have to come to
Birthdays and chocolate
Naqi arrived late for his own surprise party on 1st February. We had decorated the tv room after work, and by 6pm were waiting for him to arrive. He had gone for a shower, unaware of why we were anxious for him to come. About 6:30, he came down the stairs. Indeed, he was surprised by the balloons and applause. By this time, I'd noticed that the cake set out a few minutes earlier said "Happy Birthday Naqi and Emma". I, too, was surprised, thinking I would miss celebrating my birthday (2nd Feb) at the hostel because I was leaving later that night on a train to Chennai. Naqi and I soon found ourselves being treated as the guests of honor. At HMI, that position almost always comes with a flower garland. And so two were bestowed upon us.
Shobha asked us each to say something. I hesitated. She encouraged me, "Tell us your birthday wish. In my place," she said, "it is tradition to share a wish on your birthday." Oh no, culture clash. I responded, "But in my home it is considered bad luck to announce your birthday wish." We resolved the cultural incompatibility; I shared my second-to-top birthday wish. Naqi's speech was more revealing. Visibly moved by the gathering in his name, he said, "This is the first time I've celebrated my birthday. Thank you so much." His response is not unusual. Many Indians do not grow up with birthday celebrations. And if there is a celebration, it's less likely to be a big party and more likely to include prayers, a special trip to the temple or church, and maybe some sweets or special food at dinner.
Here, I've
witnessed people using their own birthdays as a chance to celebrate their
community. For instance, one friend
spent her birthday delivering soaps and sweets to a nearby orphanage. Another friend organized a picnic (Indian for
"outing") on his birthday and took 18 of us to another city to visit historic
Islamic sites. Often, the birthday
celebrant will distribute sweets at the office.
If it is the birthday of someone living in the hostel, we do usually
throw a party. It is simple one: cake, decorations, maybe
some chips, music and dancing, cool drinks.
("Cool drinks" is vernacular for soda or pop. I assume this phrase originates from the
times when refrigerators were even more scarce in
Speaking of
chocolates, in February I finally confronted several Indian friends on a
particular point of linguistic contention.
"Why do you say 'chocolate' when you mean hard candy? If you want me to bring you fruit candies,
why do you ask for chocolates?" The language of sweet foods in
Before leaving the topic of birthdays, I should mention another tradition about the birthday cake. The first piece is not eaten by the birthday celebrant. Rather, she is to feed the first piece to the person of her choosing. Because Naqi and I shared a party, we were each other's chosen one. The photos from our party more closely resemble an American wedding reception. It's a nice tradition . . . to have your cake and feed it too.
The Chennai SuperFast Express
I had to leave
the party early to catch an 8pm train to Chennai (
This was my first
train ride in
Weddings . . . too much to say
Last week I noticed a friend reading a book called Marrying and Burying. The book explores how cultures structure their lives around a few basic rituals, of which marriage and burial are two. February brought my Indian introduction to both.
After a delay of
4 hours, we finally got off the train in Chennai, spent the afternoon with Florina's mother and nephews and then traveled by car to a
town about 4 hours away, to attend the wedding of Bala,
Ashok's friend from their days studying social
work. Bala now
oversees the family's large farm in a village near to the town. Because of the family's prominence in the
village, this was a big wedding. (I'm
not sure if there is any other kind in
Whether Hindu,
Muslim, or Christian, weddings in
My reaction to these weddings provoked me to consider how culture shapes our most personal ambitions. I cannot imagine daydreaming as a child about being a bride in the ceremonies I witnessed here. Ashamedly, I even felt sorry for the marrying couple, thinking, "Oh, it's too bad you can't have a nice wedding ceremony." I'm so attached to my expectations for a wedding that I actually felt sympathy for these couples because I did not find meaning in their rituals. It is not as though any wedding ritual – whether Indian Hindu or American Christian - holds the secret for a lasting, happy marriage. Nor do I think all weddings should be exactly alike. In my ashamed feelings of sympathy, I realized how much I am a product of a culture dominated by "western Christian" rituals. Confronting this reality is part of dealing with the challenge I mentioned in the first newsletter – the challenge of accepting that people "can be happy in the midst of this".
(For a glimpse of
how prominently marriage features into Indian society, take a look at the
advertisements and links on Yahoo!'s
February also brought opportunity to witness another passage of life - burial. Francis is the co-manager of the hostel. His mother, Lizzie, expired on February 12. (In Indian English, "expired" is often used in place of "died".) Though she became sick several months ago, doctors could not diagnose her condition and her death this month was unexpected. It was a difficult loss for HMI, primarily to see Francis suffer, but also because Lizzie had worked for years as the cook at the Director's residence. As the only son in a family now without both parents, Francis is responsible for the family (sisters, nieces, nephews) and all that had to happen after his mother's death.
If I were at
home, I would have immediately become involved in the planning – traveling to
Kansas, arranging details with the funeral home, etc.. But when I was present for those details at
another family funeral, even then I wondered, "How do I respond?" Surely, anyone suffering loss feels this uncertainty. But I observe in
As an American, I'm less likely to take comfort in the abundance of rituals, but when I sat in that internet café in Colombo, wondering "how to respond" to Grandma's passing, I thought of Lizzie's death and how rituals, even if not comforting, do provide answers.
Tsunami Project
During the trip with Florina and Spring, we also visited HMI's tsunami project in the Nagipatnam District of Tamilnadu state. HMI began the project in January 2005 with funding from Mennonite Central Committee and in collaboration with BEST, a local Nagipatnam NGO. HMI calls itself an International Centre for Research, Interfaith Relations, and Reconciliation. The tsunami project was initiated as an expression of the latter, to help victims reconcile with their life on the water. The project puts strong emphasis on reclaiming land, returning fisherfolk to the sea, and counseling. We spent a long day driving along the beaches.
At one point, we were visiting three farmers at a house several kilometers away from the beach. I could not see the ocean from this distance. Someone commented about the tsunami, "The wave came this far." Eye-witness accounts vary about what happened on that fateful day in 2004. Some residents claim the water stayed in their homes for a few seconds, others say their homes were flooded for 30 minutes. Florina, who has worked extensively with trauma victims, said that such varying accounts are typical after a trauma like the tsunami. Levels of water damage in the buildings suggest that water from the tsunami returned to the sea after only a few minutes. I stood in the farmer's yard that evening and looked out over farmland in every direction. What left me awe-struck was the thought that a wave had come this far. Not a downpour from the sky that sits in the house until it dries or drains. No, this was a wave, a moving force of water, dynamic enough to come several kilometers inland and return to sea within a few minutes. Perhaps I came a little closer that day to standing in fear of God's creation.
Life continues in these communities. BEST's farmland supervisor showed us the fruits of much labor - acres and acres of soil reclaimed after a giant wave left the land full of salt. We picked grains from the first rice harvest since the tsunami.
The contributions of international charities were obvious throughout the district. Thinking back, I might compare that first relief camp to a home decorator's showcase , except that instead of interior designers advertising their decorating skills in a living room or kitchen, roadside signs in Nagipatnam acknowledged a Dutch organization that built the shelters, or a German church that set up the water system, or an American group that contributed funds for the new homes.
That first relief camp of fisherfolk families was, of course, anything but an interior decorator's showcase. Rather, the living conditions met all the criteria of cramped and smelly. These fisherfolk never lived in fancy houses, but before the tsunami they lived within feet of the sea, rich with space. Florina explained that many fisherfolk actually lived lives of relative leisure and abundance, sometimes bringing in 100,000 rupees for a single day's catch. They would often spend it the same day on village parties and gatherings. Some days brought a much smaller catch, maybe only 1,000 rupees to be shared by several families. Their lives were simple. They did not emphasize saving, but the money that was saved was kept at home, and was swept to sea in the tsunami.
Thus, one dynamic
of relief efforts in this district was the challenge of delivering charity to
persons accustomed to being wealthy and living with abundance. Florina described one particular conflict from
the initial days after the tsunami. News
of the devestation quickly spread throughout
The dynamic in fisherfolk communities also highlights another dilemma. If not for the tsunami, international charities probably would not have bothered with fisherfolk communities in Tamilnadu. The fisherfolk were self-sufficient people who enjoyed their lives and were proud of their lifestyle, even if these lives were simple and un-educated. But now that charities are there, they face the dilemma of whether to restore the quality of life that fisherfolk cherished, or to give them what the charities consider essential for quality of life – education and better connections to the outside world. The latter may improve their status on the development index, but will they enjoy life more?
Florina also shared
stories of post-tsunami "volunteers" from
All this said, the challenges I mentioned – rejected help, disrespectful volunteers – are the exceptions in a relief effort of global proportions that continues to transform lives for the better. The exceptions point out the delicacy and complexity of an effort which, even it is mildly successfully, is a historic accomplishment.
We spent several hours accompanying the counselors to meetings with village women. Our visit began at a relief camp where we gathered with women and girls at a session facilitated periodically to provide them a place to share their stories and concerns.
A memorable moment in our visit came towards the end of the day, when I heard the story of a woman who had been with us since morning. She came to that first women's meeting with her 1 yr-old daughter. She was introduced as a local and a volunteer with the relief effort. We saw them throughout the day as we followed the counselors to other appointments. After an afternoon meeting, I stood with this woman and several others, one of whom asked about her family. The translator explained that this mother with whom I'd been smiling all day, making conversation without words, adoring her little girl, was the mother of a young boy who died in the tsunami.
There was a point during that first women's meeting when I realized that every person in the room – except for the visitors - had lost a family member or close friend in the tsunami. This was a community bound by mutual loss. At the time, I felt like I was experiencing a rare opportunity to be in a community bound by common loss, a concept foreign to me. But, thinking back on that room full of women, and thinking of the refugee communities I met in Atlanta, the slums of Juarez, Mexico, and the war updates on nightly news, I wonder instead if the rarity is to be in a community in which loss and hardship are private affairs.
Morning on the water; lunch on the shore
The lighter side
of our visit to the tsunami project was a morning boatride
in the
After the boat
ride, we attended a community meeting and then went for lunch. We arrived at the house used as living
quarters for the men on BEST's staff. Stepping inside brought immediate relief from
the sun and heat, and we sat on the unrolled floor mats. Nagalakshmi and
another counselor insisted on serving us before eating, so they brought out the
banana leaves. Leaves from the banana
tree are the typical plates in homes and
casual restaurants in southern
What followed was a lunch to put Red Lobster to shame (except for the absence of cheese biscuits). Fish curry, fried fish, crab with a curry gravy, and prawns to beat all prawns. With second-helpings a must, it was, to say the least, a feast. I thought of how much this meal would cost at home. And I wondered . . . would Americans be a more patient people if we had to de-bone our fish?
Another stop on
the trip to Chennai was a morning visit to

After one night out with Spring and Jaclyn, I returned to the hostel thinking of how much I enjoyed the evening; how inspired I was by our conversations – their ideas, plans for future, passions in life; and how easy it was to be with them. At this point, neither of us had known each other for more than a month.
For the last five
months, I had lived with Indians, Europeans, and Africans. We had shared a hundred meals, stayed up late
in conversation, shopped together, ridden all over the city in buses and autos,
and lived each day in the same small community of HMI. Yet, I never in those five months felt the
same ease as I did that night with two Americans whom I'd known for a few
weeks. Likewise, before meeting the other

These and other
instances are teaching me how much I rely on common experience to communicate. I suppose it's similar to what happens when a
group of college friends reunites years after graduation – all they talk about
is the college days; or when colleagues gather for the company picnic – they
still talk about work. Obviously,
culture and country of origin determine much of whether our experience is
common. But it was not until coming to

Staff Retreat and Translation: Say again?
HMI held its
staff retreat in February. This was a 5-day
workshop consisting primarily of large-group and small-group discussions. It was the first time I experienced all staff
coming together for more than a one-hour staff meeting. And because this retreat was about dealing
with staff concerns, staff development and planning for the future, it was
essential to have everyone's participation.
Doing so required extensive translation of everything that was
said. All but 2 people spoke Hindi
(myself among the exceptions), but a significant number of these Hindi speakers
are more comfortable in English or Telugu.
Every exchange, every activity, every discussion took twice as
long. (But if I say it was "twice as
long", that reflects my narrow definition of "efficiency" because I'm measuring
it against how discussion occurs when everyone speaks the same language, a
circumstance that isn't so readily available in
The entire
retreat was a lesson in how multi-lingualism affects
a working environment. For instance, in
our small group discussions, the several attempts to randomly assign partners posed
the difficulty of making sure that the woman who spoke only Telugu was in a
group with someone who could translate. If
it feels like I already wrote about the dynamics of language, 'tis true, and
you can expect more in future newsletters.

myself in the last 6 months is that I'm still more interested in what happens
These Indian friends who returned home in February have far fewer options than I to live and work away from "their people". Regardless, they will serve their people well. Their commitment to their people has helped me to consider that home is part of God's intention for the world. Perhaps, attachment to home, at its purest, does not divert us from vocation but rather directs us to the place where we can be most useful. Perhaps "saving the world" is really about allowing everyone to be in the place they can call home and to be content with that position. With the world not as God intended it (at least I hope not), restoring people to home may require some to step away from their people and live in a far off place. Perhaps some of us are even equipped with the patience and motivation to do so. I don't know that I am among this group. But I thank my PGCR friends for reminding me that I, too, have "my people" and it is okay if I am most useful in "my place".

CaesarTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
If a picture is worth 10,000 words and Caesar can command 100 ships with a wave of his hand and half a loaf of bread is better than none, how much is 1/136 of a picture of Caesar holding a full loaf of bread with 200 ships behind him worth?
HintRead it carefully.
AnswerThe answer is 10,000 words.
1/136 of a picture is still a picture, so it would be worth 10,000 words.

Merrill Lynch has retained its "Underperform" recommendation on Boral, with a price target of $4.00, as near-term macro demand in all of Boral's key markets is expected to be flat to down.
The broker says Boral's earnings before interest and tax margins have declined across its cement, ready mix concrete, aggregates and asphalt businesses over much of the past decade despite a strong volume environment.
Also, while major participants in the Australian construction materials industry have announced significant price increases for ready mixed concrete (5 to 8 per cent) and aggregates (15 to 20 per cent), to take effect from April 1, 2012, the broker is sceptical as to whether these will stick, as similar announcements last year do not appear to have been successful.

Shallow areas: Shallow areas are large expanses of shoals or of shallow water where the changes in depth are relatively slight. Some bays fed by river systems are shallow throughout.
Shoals, banks and bars: Shoals are shallows that constitute offshore hazards to navigation. They are defined as having a depth of 10 fathoms or less and may be composed of any material except rock or coral. A shoal may be an isolated feature or part of a shoal area composed of two or more shoals. A bank is an area of relatively shallow water which is, however, of sufficient depth for safe navigation. Bars are ridges of sand or gravel, often at the mouth of a river, which may obstruct navigation. Note that shallow areas of rock and coral are charted as ledges and reefs and labeled, rather than being delineated solely by depth indicators.
Irregular bottoms: Irregular bottom areas may consist of shoals, shallows, passages, deeps, etc., and are characterized by relatively large and abrupt depth differences throughout the region.
Smooth bottoms: Smooth bottom areas are expanses where variations in depth are gradual and are relatively small compared to the size and depth of the area as a whole. Smooth areas in relatively deep water are the least important feature shown on charts. Generally, they pose no navigational hazard. These are depicted to provide "bottom detail" to navigators, rather than to enhance boaters' "safety."
Navigable channels and passages: A channel or passage is a relatively deeper navigable route through an otherwise shallow area. Natural channels or passages are important features which contribute to the navigational value of a chart. Natural channels may constitute routes from deep water into shore or harbor areas, or routes between deep water areas through shoals or bordering shallow areas.
Deeps: Deeps are local deformations in the bottom configuration characterized by a significant increase in depth when compared to the surrounding areas. The boundary of a deep is the zone which separates the deep area from the surrounding shallower water. The size of the zone depends on how well the deep can be distinguished from the surrounding area.

Facts, Identification & Control
Bryobia praetiosa
Clover mite adults are oval shaped, eight legged, red colored and about as small as the head of a pin. The front pair of legs is very long compared to the other six legs and may be confused for the mite's antennae.
Although clover mites are not a danger to human health and do not destroy furniture, clothing or food items, they can become an indoor nuisance when invading homes, business and medical facilities. Once inside, they will soon die, but not until they have created problems resulting from an annoying presence and cosmetic damage from red stains resulting from mites that are crushed. This stain is not the mite's blood, but is the mite's body pigments. Clover mites are not blood feeders, but feed on plants getting their nutrition from sucking plant juices from grasses, clover and other plants common to lawns. Clover mites can become a nuisance in multi-story buildings since they can live on rooftops and patios where mold or mildew provide sources of food.
Clover mites go through 4 life stages – eggs, larvae, nymphs and adults. The clover mite overwinters in any dry protected location primarily in the egg stage. Sidewalk cracks, walls of buildings and logs can host vast numbers of overwintering eggs.
The overwintering eggs hatch early in the spring and clover mite adults become active as soon as the temperature warm above about the mid-forties and begin to climb up the exterior walls from the ground and gain entrance around windows and doors. Overwintering mites hatch in the spring and begin to produce second generations. Spring generations will aestivate, which is a form of summer hibernation where mites go inactive on warm, dry days. Second generations typically complete in the fall.
Clover mite populations may become large since females can lay up to 70 eggs and each becomes a mature adult in 30 days or less under suitable circumstances. Clover mites reproduce by parthenogenesis, which means the females are able to reproduce without being fertilized by the males.
Observance of the reddish colored clover mites crawling on surfaces such as windowsills and siding on the sunny sides of homes are the most obvious indicator of an infestation.
Clover mites are found throughout the United States.
Control of clover mites is best left to your pest management professional (PMP). Your PMP will perform an inspection and use the inspection findings to prepare an integrated pest management plan for clover mite control. Your PMP will use his expertise and knowledge to recommend the application of effective and efficient chemical control measures to reduce the clover mite problem. However, his control program will likely include some helpful preventive measures the homeowner may choose to employ, as well. Among these preventive measures are:
- Using a wet sponge or a crevice attachment of a vacuum cleaner to remove mites, making sure to take precautions to avoid crushing the mites and causing stains.
- Removing all grass and weeds from around the foundation perimeter and leaving vegetation free strip about two feet wide. This method is especially important on the south and southwest sides of the structure. Clover mites are not as likely to move through bare, loose soil as they are through soil that is supporting plants that touch the structure's foundation. Use of pea gravel can also discourage mite movement into the structure.
- Sealing holes, cracks and gaps on the foundations, windows and doors, thus helping discourage mites from entering the structure.
- Making sure to use window screens that are tight fitting.
- Making sure not to over-fertilize the lawn or ornamental plant areas since clover mite populations tend to do better in lawns that are well fertilized.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — A police detective says a Connecticut man charged with a brutal home invasion that left a woman and her two daughters dead initially told investigators he may have poured gasoline before the house was set on fire.
The testimony undercuts defense efforts to blame Joshua Komisarjevsky's (koh-mih-sar-JEV'-skee) co-defendant. The defense has blamed Steven Hayes, who was convicted last year and is on death row, for pouring the gas.
Komisarjevsky's attorneys tried to show the jury he immediately cooperated with police by telling them two girls were still in the house engulfed in fire, while Hayes offered no help.
Detective Joseph Vitello says Komisarjevsky told him he kept his gloves on during the crime in contrast to Hayes. The defense says Hayes wanted to kill the family because he was worried he left DNA evidence.

16U Tomahawk Tryout Attendees and Families,
Thank you for attending our tryouts. I know some of you drove a long way to get here. Some of you also took advantage of our pre-tryout practices this week which enabled us to take an extended look at you. For some of you, we met for the first time today.
Playing for a select softball team can be a big commitment. Playing for the Tomahawks IS a huge one-year commitment in both time and money. This is an overview of how our year usually plays out.
First of all, I know everyone is probably tired from playing high school ball and then jumping right into a summer season that may have just ended for many of you. It is very important that you take time off to let your body rest. For that reason, we won't do anything as a team for the remainder of August. Please take advantage of this break – you need it worse than you think.
We will most likely play in the Belleville high school league (anyone still in high school is eligible meaning we will be facing many older players). Those games are Sunday doubleheaders beginning on 8th of September. Aside from the games, we will offer volunteer Saturday practices. The more of those you attend, you quicker you will see your softball skills and your roles on the team develop.
We will most likely play in one or two fall tournaments, one of which may be out of town and generate overnight expenses (hotel, food, gas).
I am a firm believer that your school work must be one of your top priorities. Your education will take you much farther in life than softball. Both school work and school sports will take priority over anything we do with the Tomahawks during the school year.
We will take about a month off during the Thanksgiving/Christmas time frame to again allow the girls to rest. Those dates will be firmed up later.
We will probably play two indoor tournaments in Pekin, IL during the winter. Sprinkled around those tournaments will be indoor practices (most likely on Sundays). They work best for any girls playing volleyball or basketball or both.
After the winter tournaments and practices, we try to give the girls another month off to rest up for school softball.
During the school softball season, I spend my time attending your games. There will be little to no interaction as a team during that time. There will definitely not be any practices.
Each girl selected for the team is chosen because of the skills she brings that we believe will help us field a winning team. I'm a firm believer that a team will play better and be more successful if everyone is there. Once the school softball season is over, I expect a total commitment to attend every game and practice during the summer (Jun and Jul). There are always exceptions to this and they will need to be addressed as early as possible and could be a determining factor in your selection to the team.
During the summer, we will play in five tournaments and the Belleville 16U/18U League.
The cost for playing on the team this year will be $600, $500 for returning players unless they need new uniform items. Most families elect to take advantage of the installment plan we offer. If selected for the team, we would require a $100 non-refundable payment be made within 1 week to hold your spot on the team. A second $100 payment would be due before our first fall league game (8 Sep). This fee includes the cost of your uniform and other incidentals (hoodies, t-shirts, etc)
Speaking of roster spots, if we call to offer you one, we would hope for an affirmative answer right way but would need one within 48 hours. Anyone not accepting our offer may check back with us at a later date if they change their mind. However, you must understand that we may elect to offer that spot to someone else in the interim.
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to call me. Our web site will provide additional information to include the community activity work we did and how our team fared this past summer: http://www.eteamz.com/TomahawksHome/index.cfm

PEKIN, ILL. — When Jerome Andrews talked to his sports psychologist about breathing techniques, he never bothered to ask what happens when you can see your breath on the golf course.
The Oak Park senior ignored the cold and wind Saturday and won the Class AA state championship at Lick Creek Golf Course. Andrews, who finished with an 8-over-par 152 for 36 holes, shot a final-round 77 to finish three shots ahead of Marion`s B.W. Bruce.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am an attorney (do not practice real estate law and only remember the basics from law school) looking to purchase a new construction home with my non-attorney partner. The contract was drawn up by the builder and includes the 3 day attorney review clause. The process as I understand it is that the Buyer negotiates the price and options with the Seller and signs the contract, then once the Seller signs, the 3 day attorney review period begins. I know from reading the contract that there are several items that need to be changed. Should I sign it and then seek counsel from a real estate attorney to change it, or try to change the terms myself before I sign anything? If I changed the terms and signed it, wouldn't that negate the 3 day attorney review period?Can I do the closing myself?
Technically, the three day attorney review period is only required in contracts that are prepared by a real estate broker (Opinion 26). The three day period begins to run when the fully executed contract is "delivered" to the parties.
Requesting changes prior to signing the contract would not negate the three day attorney review period. If it is a broker prepared contract, attorney review will remain. If, however, you are not dealing with a real estate broker but are instead negotiating directly with the builder or its attorney, then you may elect to delete the attorney review period from the contract.
My experience with new construction contracts is that the builder may negotiate price and delivery date - but will resist any substantive change to the form of contract. But, every builder is different and your results may vary.
The nominal cost of retaining an experienced real estate attorney to represent a buyer should make the decision a "no brainer". You could do the closing itself. However, if you have no experience in real estate matters, the old adage about the attorney who represents himself / herself applies. A transaction involving new construction can be much different than the sale of an existing home. There are limitations and additional concerns with new construction. I would recommend that you consult a friend or colleague who handles transactional real estate - including new construction.

- The letnik is a summer garment, at least the Russian version. A fur-lined garment, the kortel, was for winter.
I always figured it was called a letnik because of the lovely wing-like sleeves. :)

Bradley Cooper to Star in 'The Elephant Man' Revival on Broadway
The American Hustle actor will play John Merrick, a despondent man living with terrible physical deformities, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Bernard Pomerance's award-winning 1977 play was famously adapted for the big screen by David Lynch in 1980 starring John Hurt. But unlike the film, the stage show sees the lead actor suggest the deformities through his performance, rather than relying on prosthetic make-up.
Cooper previously played the role in a limited run in 2012 at the Williamstown Theater Festival in Massachusetts. It is unclear whether his co-stars in that production, Patricia Clarkson and Alessandro Nivola, will also appear in the Broadway show.
The play will mark Bradley's first return to the New York stage since his 2006 stint opposite Julia Roberts and Paul Rudd in Three Days of Rain.

TNT began production last week on Southfork Ranch on the update of the classic series.
Larry Hagman, 80, returns as J.R. Ewing, scheming away as usual. Patrick Duffy and Linda Gray are also back. Less than two weeks ago, Hagman announced he had cancer, "a very common and treatable form of cancer."
He added, "I will be receiving treatment while working on the new Dallas series. I could not think of a better place to be than working on a show I love, with people I love. Besides, as we all know, you can't keep J.R. down!"
Josh Henderson stars as J.R. and Sue Ellen Ewing's son, John Ross, who is determined to undermine his grandmother's legacy by drilling for oil on Ewing land. "The energy's amazing," says Henderson in the video of the first day at work. "I'm nervous," cracks Hagman.

Clairton board OKs dek hockey concept
A new dek hockey club is forming in Clairton City School District.
Eighth-grader Christopher Johnston pitched the idea to school directors at Wednesday night's meeting with the help of secondary mathematics teacher and new club faculty sponsor Mike Henninger.
School directors unanimously approved the club, pending approval by the Clairton Education Association. District officials said the sponsor position would have to be added to the contract in a memorandum of understanding.
"Some reasons it would be great for the school is it is (an) alternative to basketball or football," Christopher said. "Hockey builds confidence and teaches leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and it's great for exercise. We often see other professional athletes involved in criminal activity, but this is rare for an NHL player."
Christopher said he received information from Al Ernst, CEO of South Hills Dek Hockey along Worthington Avenue in Jefferson Hills, about using the rink at $75 per hour, and equipment for 20 players would cost about $1,500.
"The code of conduct at South Hills Dek Hockey rink provides for a no-checking game, which allows us to safely enjoy this game," Christopher said. "Additionally, they do not tolerate any abusive behavior, which helps us to learn the proper behavior that is expected from hockey players."
He presented the board with a list of classmates interested in the club.
Henninger said he was unsure of sponsoring the club until he spoke with Christopher.
"The excitement and enthusiasm were pouring out of this kid," Henninger said. "I decided this was a worthy undertaking. This was something worth doing. You can tell Chris loves hockey as much as I do, and as such he shares my passion and my desire to share that passion with other players. I love hockey. It's an intense high-speed workout like no other ... Hockey's very much like a chess game. There's strategy. There's as much thought that goes into it as there is physical strength ... One of the biggest things is it builds an understanding of the value of hard work."
Henninger said he's not sure how much start-up money the club would need, and would like to open it to students in seventh through 12th grades.
He also expressed concerns about playing seniors against seventh-graders, and he has to find a way to break down teams according to grade level.
Christopher said South Hills Dek Hockey teams consist of players ages 13-16.
The ultimate goal is to create an interscholastic league and play against other schools, Henninger said.
In other business:
School directors approved a five-year, $200,000 loan from PNC Bank at an estimated rate of 1.91 percent. The loan is for capital improvement projects.
They approved a $2 million tax and revenue application note with PNC Bank with a rate of 1.61 percent.
The board approved a software maintenance agreement between Harris School Solutions and the district, effective July 1 through June 30, 2014, totaling $14,922.30. It is a $1,403.79 reduction from the current school year's $16,326.09 agreement, primarily because of the elimination of three software modules.
The board accepted Mincin Landscaping and Tree Service's $8,170 proposal for the district's grass mowing and brush trimming.
