Research Description
Research in the Reisner group involves the synthesis of hybrid inorganic-organic frameworks that have properties similar to nanoporous zeolites that are used extensively in industry for the separation of gases, water purification, and hydrocarbon cracking. Our current focus is on framework materials derived from tetrakis(azolyl)borate and hydrotris(azolyl)borate ligands. We are particularly interested in determining how synthetic conditions affect the topology of the hybrid framework that is crystallized from a given reaction mixture. This knowledge can be used to help develop more rational synthesis of hybrid framework materials. These materials have the potential adsorb and separate CO2 from gaseous waste streams.
Students conducting research in the Reisner group have the opportunity to synthesize and characterize new framework materials. Students learn a variety of synthesis techniques including the manipulation of air-sensitive compounds and solvothermal synthesis. Common characterization techniques include powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), thermal analysis (TGA and EGA-IR), NMR (1H and 13C), microscopy (SEM), and IR spectroscopies. We collaborate with other institutions to do single crystal X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and gas sorption studies.

Je ne trouve que des superlatifs pour décrire ce lieu...
La situation tout d'abord, le domaine se situe en haut d'une colline avec vue sur la méditerranée, bercée par une brise marine. La vue est à couper le souffle !
La location et les aménagements sont tout simplement magnifiques, tout est fait avec goût et soin et d'une grande finesse. Tout est pensé pour le confort et le repos des vacanciers (piscine impeccable, terrain de tennis, jeux pour enfants, VTT, aires de repas). Sans oublier le vin, en effet le domaine vit au rythme de la vigne, les vendanges étaient d'ailleurs en cours lors de notre séjour. Et le vin est très très bon...
Sachez que ce petit paradis se mérite : l'accès, qui se fait par un chemin un peu chaotique de 3 km environ à travers la forêt, demande un peu de patience (10-15 minutes en voiture).
Je ne peux que recommander cette location à toutes les familles qui recherchent le calme et le repos dans un cadre magique, près des accès routiers pour découvrir les richesses toscanes : Pise, Sienne, Florence, San Giminiano (mon coup de cœur), mais aussi l'île d'Elbe. Sachez également qu'il y a un restaurant à 10 mn à pieds du domaine, qui fait d'excellentes pizzas à déguster en pleine nature au milieu des italiens du coin...
Amineh, la propriétaire du domaine, est une hôtesse à l'image du domaine, discrète, efficace et accueillante, tout comme Chiara, sa fille.
Anita et Bernard
This place is heaven on earth! We absolutely fell in love with the whole place. The apartment was new, stylish, comfortable, well kept, air conditioned and had everything we needed and more. Extra plus for lovely and soft beds. The house is situated on the top of a hill and the view was just breathtaking. The swimmingpool was modern, clean and a view in it self. Chiara and her mother Amineh was the perfect hosts, and even if they just had started to rent out apartments, they had thought of everything. We would love to come back, and have recommended the place for all of our friends in Norway!
The farm Tenuta Pakravan Papi is located in a haven of tranquility just a few kilometers from charming old villages of the surrounding hills, the sea and the small towns of Cecina, Rosignano and Castiglioncello, nice beach resorts where you can find every kind of service and sports and recreational activities, both daytime is night, enjoy the rich culinary tradition Tuscan restaurants in the area, and then find, back to the estate, all the tranquility and freedom of a holiday in contact with nature and tradition.
At 20 minutes from the Etruscan ruins of Populonia, 40 minutes 'drive from Pisa and Volterra, 1 hour 30 from Florence and Siena: the strategic geographical position of the Estate Pakravan Papi offers the opportunity to visit in a day the major cities' art in Tuscany, destination of world tourism.

WORLD number one William Fox-Pitt's hopes of landing the Rolex Grand Slam have been dashed after this weekend's Mitsubishi Motors Badminton Horse Trials were cancelled because of a waterlogged course.
The Sturminster Newton star was hoping to be more than £280,000 richer if he had collected the £65,000 Badminton winner's purse, as this would have guaranteed another prize of just under £220,000 as only the second rider to achieve a Grand Slam.
Badminton director Hugh Thomas said: "The recent exceptional rainfall has left the ground at Badminton totally waterlogged and partially flooded. Further rain is due this week, leaving no chance of the ground drying out."
The Grand Slam is awarded for consecutive Burghley, Kentucky and Badminton victories in any order, but it is nine years since Britain's Pippa Funnell swept the board, which underlines the considerable degree of difficulty involved.
Fox-Pitt secured victory at Rolex Kentucky, his second triumph in three years, aboard his 2011 Burghley champion Parklane Hawk after a tense showjumping finale at the weekend.
Fox-Pitt, courtesy of his overnight lead after cross-country, was last to go in the show-jumping phase, but he held his nerve amid intense pressure.
Second-placed combination Allison Springer and Arthur had four faults, so Fox-Pitt enjoyed the luxury of one fence in hand. They also ended with four faults, but a score of 45.3 proved enough.
Parklane Hawk had the first part of a double down halfway around the show-jumping course, but the combination never looked back after that.
Fox-Pitt said, after his win at Kentucky: "It was a huge relief. The pressure was on us when we hit the fence, but I thought to myself not to panic. He is a super jumper and a fabulous horse to ride.
"He normally jumps a clear round, but he was kind of messing around, not really looking at the fences.
"Parklane Hawk has only done one four-star before, and he has shown how good he is in all three disciplines, although there is room for improvement in the dressage.
"He's a big trier, and not a confrontational horse. He has adapted to eventing very quickly from racing – he is an amazing horse."
Fox-Pitt is set to spearhead Britain's Olympic medal bid at Greenwich Park in late July, with Parklane Hawk now a strong Games contender, although his performances on Lionheart and Oslo at Chatsworth next month will be closely monitored.

Federal politics is back in the territory where it is being played as if every day could be the Gillard government's last.
For a few brief months after Slipper's defection from the Coalition last November, that sense of parliamentary uncertainty had abated.
The sense of uncertainty now, however, is much more deadly than it was before the Slipper defection, because the combination of the growing stench around Slipper and Thomson isn't just about the legitimacy and credibility of the government, but the legitimacy and credibility of Parliament itself.
In an environment where it is almost impossible for the government to appear as if it is in control of events, Prime Minister
The brutal reality of the numbers is that no matter where Thomson sits and where Slipper slips, the Coalition still has one less vote than it previously did and Labor still has the numbers to get its legislation through the Parliament.
But the pressures on the crossbenches are changing. Until now, it has been in their own self-interest to support Labor and to not seriously consider a no confidence motion.
If the question becomes one in which it is not just Labor that it is the subject of voter hostility and disrepute, but the entire Parliament, the balance changes.
The independents generally know that they are already the subject of considerable hostility from voters, who resent their power to keep the government in office.
But if, as the Slipper and Thomson cases drag on, both Labor and Parliament are dragged into real sleaze, the pressure on the independents to challenge the government's place in Parliament will be intense. After all, they would be doing it for exactly the same reason that Gillard says she is asking the two men to stand down from chair and party respectively: the reputation of the Parliament.
At this point, the furthest any of the independents are going is
The Prime Minister, of course, faces a separate set of questions about why she took so long to act on the two men which, like Slipper's appointment itself, go to her judgment.
It would have been easily open to her to claim a version of the "London convention" followed by
The Slipper allegations emerged just as she was heading to Singapore a week ago. She chose to remain silent about them while still in Australia. She probably should have done so until she returned.
Gillard's argument that there is a balance that has to be found between the issues of the reputation of Parliament and the presumption of innocence are perfectly reasonable.
But we live in unreasonable times. And her handling of this issue has left her own caucus as sullen as some of the voters who put it there.

Final: Grizzlies 96, Mavericks 85 - February 29, 2012
Locker Room Video
Key Stat of the Night
After Dallas shot .541 (20-of-37 FG) in the first half, Memphis limited the Mavericks to a .357 clip (15-of-42 FG) after halftime.
Key Run of the Night
Memphis scored the first eight points of the fourth quarter to extend its lead to 15 points (82-67) with 8:01 left in the game… Dallas would get no closer than seven for the rest of the game.
Player Notes
- Leading the Grizzlies in scoring (22 points) and rebounding (11 rebounds), 2012 All-Star Marc Gasol recorded his seventh 20-10 game this season.
- Mike Conley scored 20 points and handed out 10 assists for his sixth double-double of the season, one shy of his total from all of the 2010-11 season.
- Quincy Pondexter scored eight points and grabbed a career-high eight rebounds off the bench… He surpassed his previous high of six recorded on Feb. 8 against MIN
Marc Gasol tallied 22 points and 11 rebounds in the Grizzlies' 96-85 home win over the Mavericks on Wednesday. Mike Conley had a double-double (20 points, 10 assists) and Rudy Gay scored 18 points. Next, Memphis travels to Toronto on Friday at 6 p.m.
Game Notes
- Memphis extended its home winning streak to a season-high five games… The last time the Grizzlies won five-in-a-row at home was during a five-game streak that stretched from Feb. 11- March 1, 2011.
- Winners of eight of the last 10 games, Memphis began the second half of the season by moving a season-high five games above .500.
- Memphis has won seven out of the last 11 meetings with Dallas… Before that, the Grizzlies held a 7-46 overall record against the Mavericks.
- When at FedExForum, the Grizzlies are 11-0 this season when leading at the end of the first quarter.
- The Grizzlies snapped the Mavericks' five-game road winning streak against Western Conference opponents… The Mavericks' last road loss against a Western opponent was on Jan. 18 against the Los Angeles Clippers.
- Tonight marks the third overall game and first-ever Leap Day victory for the Grizzlies… The other two instances were losses at Houston (95-116) in 2008 and at Sacramento (87-112) in 2000.

They said...
Coach Hollins
On the game:
"They were attacking us, and we were playing too conservative on defense in terms of trying to take them off the three point line instead of taking away the paint first. In the second half I thought we did a much better job. We gave up 17 points in the second half in the paint. Usually we're somewhere in the 35-40 range for the whole game. They had 35 at halftime. We corrected that a little bit and did a much better job in their pick- and- rolls. They tried to go small. We were able to switch a lot of things that took them out of rhythm, and our offense versus their zone was outstanding. Our ball movement and our aggressiveness of attacking the zone was one of the keys to winning the game because it made them have to play man-to-man, which is what they didn't want to do against us because of the size they were playing with. Once Dirk (Nowitzki) went out and (Brendan) Haywood got into a little bit of foul trouble, they weren't able to really match up with us but our execution against the zone was superb."
On the players:
"He (Quincy Pondexter) played extremely well. He was a little bit bigger than O.J. (Mayo) and when they had (Rodrigue) Beaubois and (Jason) Terry, I wanted to get a bigger guy on Vince Carter and let Tony Allen guard Terry and we slowed him down after that match up in the fourth quarter. Rather, it was key for us ballooning the lead up."
On Dirk Nowitzki leaving the game:
"We didn't have to worry about that. I thought overall we played extremely well. We shot the ball decent. They were shooting 54 percent in the first half and they wound up at 44 so they had to be somewhere in the 30's through the second half. That was also key thing we did in the second half was predicated to our defense. Then when they went back to zone, we attacked and attacked and we wound up getting a very sweet win. It's nice to have taken care of business."
Tony Allen
On the game:
"We were getting after it in practice the past few days and the guys came in ready to work. Today was a reflection of that. The guys took care of themselves over the weekend. They came home from the weekend and were ready to work and brought it here tonight on our home court."
On the upcoing game in Toronto:
"When we get to Toronto, it is business. We have to bring the same focus and be ready to come out with nothing less than a win."
Mike Conley
On the game:
"Our tempo was better in the second half, defensively. We did a great job running them up the three-point line. We played our style defensively and did a good job in our transition. When we play in a comfortable zone like that we are hard to beat. It was a great win, it says a lot about our discipline. Throughout the last five days, we have had a lot of time to think and rest and the guys came back from the All-Star Weekend with the right focus and mindset to be ready to play tonight and to beat a team like Dallas. Marc (Gasol) played well tonight. We tried to play through our big guys. Marc can find guys and be aggressive when the time is needed."
On the weekend:
"It's a very winnable game, we understand that it's going to be tough especially being on the road in Toronto. We have to come with the right mind set being focused from the start with high energy."
On the season:
"This season is so condensed that every game means as much as the last. Believe it or not, but the Toronto game is bigger than the Dallas win. Each game gets bigger and bigger, so we have to take it one game at a time."

Asthma -- United States, 1980-1990
Since the 1970s, the prevalence, morbidity, and mortality of asthma * in the United States and other western countries have increased (1-3). In 1990, related health-care expenditures for asthma were estimated at $6.2 billion, or nearly 1% of all U.S. health-care costs (4). This report updates a previous report (5) on national trends in disease burden for asthma using the latest available data from CDC's National Center for Health Statistics' multiple-cause-of-death file, the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), the National Hospital Discharge Survey, and the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS).
From 1980 through 1989, the age-adjusted death rate ** for asthma as the underlying cause of death increased 46% from 1.3 per 100,000 population (2891 deaths) to 1.9 per 100,000 (4867 deaths) (Figure 1). During this period, the death rate increased 54% for females (from 1.3 to 2.0 per 100,000) and 23% for males (from 1.3 to 1.6 per 100,000).
The annual asthma death rate was consistently higher for blacks than for whites *** during this period; for blacks, the rate increased 52% (from 2.5 to 3.8 per 100,000), compared with a 45% increase (from 1.1 to 1.6 per 100,000) for whites (Figure 1). The increase in the death rate for black and white females was similar; 63% (from 2.4 to 3.9 per 100,000) and 64% (from 1.1 to 1.8 per 100,000), respectively. However, the increase in the death rate for black males (37%; from 2.7 to 3.7 per 100,000) was more than twice that for white males (17%; from 1.2 to 1.4 per 100,000).
Asthma is generally treated in outpatient settings. Results from the NAMCS indicate that physician visits for asthma as a first-listed diagnosis increased from 6.5 million in 1985 to 7.1 million in 1990. The age-adjusted rate for physician visits increased 35% for blacks (from 2520 to 3390 per 100,000 population) but decreased 8% for whites (from 2790 to 2580 per 100,000). For blacks, the rate of visits decreased 46% for males (from 2410 to 1290 per 100,000) but increased 98% for females (from 2600 to 5140 per 100,000). For whites, the rate decreased 23% for males (from 2640 to 2020 per 100,000) but increased 8% for females (from 2930 to 3160 per 100,000).
From 1980 through 1990, the age-adjusted hospital discharge rate for asthma as the first-listed diagnosis varied slightly, from 180 per 100,000 to 188 per 100,000; the highest discharge rates occurred in the middle of the decade. Females had higher hospital discharge rates than males each year; blacks were more than twice as likely as whites to be hospitalized each year.
Based on NHIS results from 1980 through 1990, the age-adjusted prevalence rate for self-reported asthma increased 38%, from 3100 to 4290 per 100,000 population (from 6.8 million to 10.3 million persons affected). The rate increased 50% for females and 27% for males. From 1981 through 1988, the annual prevalence rate for black females increased from 2750 to 6060 per 100,000; from 1980 through 1989, the rate for white females increased from 2960 to 4700 per 100,000.

Editorial Note
Editorial Note: The findings in this report indicate substantial variation in patterns of disease burden of asthma among subpopulations in the United States -- especially during the latter 1980s. These variations may reflect changes in disease occurrence, disease severity, use of health-care facilities, trends in diagnostic and coding practices, and increased public awareness. For most persons with asthma, symptoms are mild and can be managed with outpatient care. An expert panel report recommends using daily patient diaries, regular peak-flow monitoring, developing a patient-provider partnership, and using corticosteroids and cromolyn preparations when appropriate (6).
The etiology, morbidity, and mortality of asthma are multifactorial with possible familial, infectious, allergenic, environmental, socioeconomic (7), and psychosocial influences. For persons with asthma, suspected precipitating factors -- such as res- piratory allergens (e.g., house-dust mites [8] and molds), respiratory infections, tobacco-smoke exposure, and environmental and other occupational exposures -- should be controlled. However, the role of these and other risk factors in the development and manifestation of this disease is not completely understood. The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases' National Cooperative Inner-City Asthma Study intends to clarify some of the risk factors for asthma among urban populations (9).
The national health objectives for the year 2000 include decreasing disability and hospitalizations for asthma and increasing education about asthma (objectives 11.1, 17.4, and 17.14) (10). In addition, the disproportionate increases in the morbidity and mortality of asthma among races other than white have resulted in increased use of emergency rooms and hospitals (9).
To decrease asthma morbidity and mortality, health-care providers and public health officials need to address the prevention and control of known risk factors, access to regular health care and follow-up, the increased role of primary care in treatment, effective use of emergency rooms, appropriate hospitalization, the availability and cost of pharmacotherapy, patient/provider education, and the effectiveness of these interventions. Further efforts to characterize asthma epidemiologically should address the effect of underlying patterns of illness on the distribution of disease severity, the use of health-care facilities (including emergency-room visits and hos- pitalizations), and the presence of comorbid conditions before death.

Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj are two cute Barbie dolls as seen in the pictures of 'Up Out My Face' music video.
Mariah Carey has teamed up with one of the Young Money's artists Nicki Minaj in a music video supporting her single "Up Out My Face". Beside making a cameo, Nicki is also assumed to lend her vocal to the track.
As a teaser, several pictures of the forthcoming video have been outed by Mariah's husband Nick Cannon on his official website. They capture the two singers as two Barbie dolls with Mariah wearing a red long dress, while Nicki sporting a white mini skirt.
Mariah has also promised to post several stills on Twitter. "So, you all know I don't know how to twitpic-But I WILL! Check out some pics from 'UOMF' featuring the fabulous Nicki Minaj! Stonewinner!" she wrote. However, it is still unclear whether or not the snaps will be new ones.
"Up Out My Face" appears in Mariah Carey's latest studio album "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel". The track was written and produced by Mariah, The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. Its music video is yet to have any premiere date.

Man issued 2 summonses after bringing gun to RIC
Citizen Staff Reports 10/09/12
A Disputanta, Va. man was cited at Richmond International Airport Oct. 8 after it was discovered that he had a .25-caliber handgun in his carry-on bag. TSA officers detected the gun as the man's carry-on baggage passed through the checkpoint metal detector.
TSA officials contacted the Capital Regional Airport Commission Police, who regularly patrol the airport. The police responded, confiscated the weapon and issued two summonses to the man related to state weapons charges. There was no impact to airport operations. The man, who was ticketed to fly to Atlanta, was able to continue on his flight.
Some weapons are permitted to be transported in checked baggage if properly packaged, but passengers should check with the airlines for proper procedures as well as checking into local laws before doing so.
Passengers can review the prohibited items list on the TSA homepage or they can download the free MyTSA application from the TSA homepage. The TSA web site and the MyTSA app have a "Can I Bring?" feature that allows users to type in items they plan to bring on a trip to get an explanation of TSA's security policies for the item, including whether the item can be taken in carry-on luggage through the security checkpoint, packed in checked baggage, both, or neither. The mobile app is available to download for free at http://www.tsa.gov/mobile.

For the ninth year in a row, Puritan Cleaners is conducting a one-day-only community program that offers everyone in Richmond a free cleaning of one pair of pants. The event, called Free Pants Wednesday, will be held on Wednesday, Aug. 2. The offer is good at all 13 Puritan locations throughout the greater Richmond area with no strings attached. There are no minimums or other stipulations (other than suede and leather pants are excluded). This year, Puritan has partnered with the Richmond SPCA to help raise awareness for the Free Pants Wednesday program while also raising awareness for homeless kittens awaiting adoption at the Richmond SPCA's humane center. The two organizations collaborated on a short movie which can be viewed at http://www.puritancleaners.com/community/free-pants-wednesday. This video is the latest in the light-hearted, low-budget, and intentionally campy videos associated with the Free Pants Wednesday program. Previous versions have featured racing at Richmond Raceway, ex-VCU basketball coach Shaka Smart, Todd "Parney" Parnell and the Flying Squirrels, and Bill Bevins and Shelly Perkins of Easy 100.9. > Read more.

|Also Known As:

|Cause of Death:
|Birth Place:
|London, England, GB
|Cast ... actor artist
(2009), and costarred as a chilly doctor with Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand and old pal Clooney in the Coen Brothersâ¿¿ bleak comedy "Burn After Reading" (2008). Reviewers were divided over the film, but again agreed that Swinton was a true and unique talent. Critics were running out of adjectives with which to praise Swinton, but they again heaped the best they had upon her for an exquisitely drawn supporting role as a Russian woman who has a poignant affair with Brad Pittâ¿¿s title character in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008). They found reason to shower her with further accolades for "I Am Love" (2010), an Italian film that she and director Luca Guadagnino had developed together over 11 years. Swinton starred as a Russian-born, high Italian society wife, who undergoes an awakening from her heavily structured, repressed existence when she meets a younger, handsome chef (Edoardo Gabbriellini). After returning to play The Witch in "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" (2010), Swinton played the grieving mother of a young man (Ezra Miller) who goes on a high school killing spree in "We Need to Talk About Kevin" (2011).ontinuing to work steadily in projects obscure and high-profile alike. Gifted unlike any other actor of her generation, Swintonâ¿¿s career seemed limited only by the scope of her immense creativity.
Swinton was born on Nov. 5, 1960 in London, England to Australian mother Judith Swinton and Major General John Swinton, former member of the Scots Guard and head of the Queens Household Division. Her fatherâ¿¿s post necessitated that Swinton and her three brothers lived in various countries growing up, though they always returned to the family estate in Scotland â¿¿ an estate which had been in the family since the ninth century. Tilda was educated at the exclusive West Heath Girls School in Kent, England, where her academic excellence was at odds with the schoolâ¿¿s main goal of training privileged young women for a future as the wife of royalty. Classmate and friend Lady Diana Spencer was one example of the schoolâ¿¿s success in this regard. But Swinton was not cut out for the traditional role dictated by her heritage. Instead, her intellectual and artistic instincts first lead her to study writing and literature at Cambridge University, where she graduated in 1983 with a degree in social and political science. In addition to her academic studies, she became involved with the schoolâ¿¿s drama department, participating in a number of stage productions. Though not enamored of theater, Swinton was more taken by the idea of filmmaking and felt being onstage was a means to that end.
Swinton returned to Scotland and began her performing career with the Traverse Theater in Edinburgh, before spending a year onstage with the Royal Shakespeare Company in London. Her more creative voice began to surface when she shifted to avant-garde stage productions like Bertold Brechtâ¿¿s "Die Massnahme" and the award-winning "Man to Man," where she played a woman who assumes her dead husband's identity. A chance meeting and instant creative rapport with director Derek Jarman offered Swinton an opportunity to work in film. She instantly felt at home in the collaborative atmosphere of his productions, making an auspicious film debut with "Caravaggio" (1986), her classical looks custom-made for Jarmanâ¿¿s biography of the Italian painter. Next up, Peter Wollen tapped Swinton's ethereal, androgynous presence to play an alien android shipwrecked on Earth in "Friendship's Death" (1987), before the actress played the role of Mozart in Aleksandr Pushkinâ¿¿s "Mozart & Salieri" on stages in Vienna, Berlin and London. Swinton gave bold performances in Jarmanâ¿¿s "The Last of England" (1988) and "The Garden" (1990), before brilliantly capturing the icy hauteur of a woman scorned, Queen Isabella, in "Edward II" (1991), for which she earned a Best Actress Prize at the Venice Film Festival.
Confirming her place as an emerging icon of the art house, Swinton delivered a dazzling and complex lead performance in "Orlando" (1992), an adaptation of Virginia Woolf's chronicle of an Elizabethan courtier who evolves in both gender and lifestyle over the course of 400 years. In the same film, Swinton also doubled as the young Elizabeth I, prompting reviewers to note her resemblance to portraits of the Virgin Queen. Swinton developed a working relationship with filmmaker John Maybury with a film adaptation of "Man to Man" (1992), before the philosopher biopic "Wittgenstein" (1993) and documentary "Blue" (1993) marked her final collaborations with Jarman, who died the following year. In 1995, Swinton could be found sleeping in a glass box on display at Londonâ¿¿s Serpentine Gallery as part of a performance art piece by Cornelia Parker. Meanwhile, there was no shortage of directors waiting in the wings to work with the renowned risk-taking actress. She garnered critical attention as a lawyer who undergoes a personality crisis at the height of professional success in "Female Perversions" (1996) and continued in avant-garde films as the pregnant Ada Byron, daughter of poet Lord Byron and writer of the worldâ¿¿s first machine algorithm, in "Conceiving Ada" (1997). Nearly unrecognizable and hugely pregnant with twins, Swinton reunited with Maybury to play an acerbic lesbian in "Love Is the Devil" (1998), based on the life of painter Francis Bacon.
Swinton next gave a brave performance as the mother of a family torn apart by incest in Tim Rothâ¿¿s "The War Zone" (1999), which landed a slew of Best Film nominations, including the Independent Spirit Awards and British Independent Film Awards. Despite a strong performance as a Utopian island-dweller opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Beach" (2000) was an overall flop. But Swinton followed up with some of the best reviews of her career as a mother who goes to great lengths to protect her teen after his abusive lover is found dead in crime thriller, "The Deep End" (2001). Making her blockbuster debut, she supported Tom Cruise in a pivotal role in the indefinable "Vanilla Sky" before enjoying a brief but noticeable role as a Hollywood development executive in director Spike Jonze and writer Charlie Kaufman's acclaimed "Adaptation" (2002). Following co-starring roles opposite Ewan McGregor and Michael Caine in undistinguished thrillers "Young Adam" (2003) and "The Statement" (2003), Swintonâ¿¿s talent for bold dramatizations was better utilized as the androgynous, morally complicated angel Gabriel in the comic book-derived "Constantine" (2005).
Swinton stepped back into independent film for Jim Jarmuschâ¿¿s "Broken Flowers" (2005), playing one of four ex-girlfriends of a man (Bill Murray) on an unusual quest, and turned out another solid performance as the matriarch of a dysfunctional clan in Mike Millsâ¿¿ quirky suburban comedy "Thumbsucker" (2004). Swinton finished out the year with a role she seemed born to play, the icy White Witch of "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" (2005), making for a deliciously nefarious nemesis. Little seen in limited release independent dramas "Stephanie Daley" (2006) and "The Man from London" (2007), Swinton was a must-see in the George Clooney legal thriller "Michael Clayton" (2007), one of the bigger critical hits of the year. She received the Academy Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role (as well as a BAFTA) for playing the conflicted CEO of a troubled agro-chemical corporation, and proved that Hollywood indeed had an appropriate place for smart, unconventional, craft-oriented actresses like Swinton. The actress essayed another complex role, starring in "Julia" (2008) as an alcoholic woman who becomes involved in an extortion scheme while trying to conquer her demons and stay alive. The challenging film earned Swinton another round of excellent reviews.
Swinton memorably, but briefly revived The White Witch for "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian"

Tharold Simon. In case you havent noticed, Pete Carroll likes his cornerbacks tall, long and physical. And the Seahawks coach thinks he has found another one in Simon, a 6-foot-2, 202-pounder who was selected in the fifth round of the NFL Draft.
He did a good job, Carroll said during his minicamp wrap-up Q&A with the media. He fits the profile of the big guys that we like. Hes long. Hes an aggressive kid. He has good savvy, can anticipate routes and things.
By the time we get him to (training) camp, I would think he can compete with our guys. He looked kind of in the fashion of guys that we like.
Today, Simon was working on the right side with the No. 1 defense the spot where 6-4, 221-pound Brandon Browner has been the starter the past two seasons. Saturday, Simon got some snaps on the left side where 6-3, 195-pound Richard Sherman developed into an All-Pro corner last season after moving into the starting lineup midway through his rookie season in 2011.
The incumbent backups are Walter Thurmond, Jeremy Lane, and Byron Maxwell each a draft choice since Carroll arrived in 2010, as well as second-year pro DeShawn Shead.

Seattle Seahawks Training Camp Profile
Chris Harper
The Seattle Seahawks knew heading into 2013 that they needed to add some extra weapons to quarterback Russell Wilsons arsenal.
They went out and traded for Percy Harvin, who will immediately add a dynamic quality to the offense. The Seahawks also spent a fourth-round pick on Chris Harper, a wide receiver from Kansas State who has the potential to be a difference-maker early on in his NFL career.
It didnt take long for Harper to show that he could make an impact for the Seahawks. During the teams rookie minicamp, the former Wildcat tore it up albeit against subpar opponents. According to reports, he showed a keen ability to catch the football and impressed coaches in the process.
The only downside for Harper is that hes buried on a wide receiver depth chart strewn with talent. Harvin and Sidney Rice are entrenched as the top two pass-catchers for the Seahawks, while Golden Tate should see plenty of time as the No. 3 receiver after a breakout season in 2012. Although Doug Baldwin suffered from a sophomore slump last year, his ability to change a game with his hands is undeniable.
Still, its hard to see the Seahawks letting Harpers talents go to waste this season, even as a No. 5 receiver. Hes a big, strong, aggressive receiver with the speed and hands to complete the package. Throughout his time at Kansas State, he was also asked to block a lot, which helped him develop terrific blocking abilities.
If it wasnt for the fact that he caught passes from a subpar quarterback in Collin Klein, Harper might have gone much higher than he did.
Its going to be tough for Harper to crack the rotation considering the Seahawks depth at wide receiver. However, if he can prove during training camp that his talents shouldnt be wasted on the bench, head coach Pete Carroll is smart enough to find ways to utilize him.
Harper is far from a sure thing, but the upside and physical tools are there for him to thrive in the NFL. Well see during training camp if the Seahawks can harness his potential and turn him into a contributor.

Seahawks Spencer Ware, wherever he plays, promises to be physical
RENTON Spencer Ware isnt sure where he fits with the Seahawks just yet.
Ware spent most of his college career as a tailback at Louisiana State before declaring for the draft after his junior season. The Seahawks then drafted Ware in the sixth round with the intention of grooming him as a fullback. He has also spent time on special teams.
But Ware makes a guarantee, regardless of where he plays.
One thing I can tell them, Ware said, is theyre going to have a hard-nosed player, whichever one it is.
Wares many hats are one of the reasons the Seahawks liked him in the first place. He could also represent an eye to the future. Michael Robinson, Seattles starting fullback, is only under contract through the end of this season.
Yet Wares biggest strength his physicality hasnt been on display at rookie minicamp or organized team activities. Thats because the drills are mostly noncontact.
I dont think well know about Spencer until you get him into pads because he is a very physical football player, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. Remember, we thought he was the toughest running back in college football last year, so we hope to see that when he carries the ball, as well as blocking.
Ware had his best season as a sophomore, when he rushed for 707 yards and scored eight touchdowns. He was LSUs workhorse back for much of that season, but his role changed dramatically after he was suspended for one game midway through the year (along with Tyrann Mathieu and current Seahawk Tharold Simon) for testing positive for synthetic marijuana.
He would never hold such a featured role again. He carried the ball more than 20 times in five of in his first seven games before the suspension. He never had more than 16 carries in the six games after. He rushed for 367 yards, fourth on the team, his final season.
That didnt change the Seahawks perception of Ware as a versatile back. Ware is 5 feet 10 and 229 pounds and prides himself on his physical running style. He also caught at least 10 passes in each of his three seasons at LSU, and Carroll singled out his pass-catching as a strength.
On the day he was drafted by the Seahawks, Ware was asked the standard question of who he compares himself to.
I want to say Marshawn Lynch, just how aggressive he is, Ware said. When he gets the ball in his hands, he seems like hes angry, and thats kind of how I feel when I get the ball. I feel like I let out some steam on someone else when the ball is in my hands.
The question is, can he do the same when the ball isnt in his hands? If he indeed transitions to the role of fullback, Ware will have to learn the nuances of a new position.
As a physical runner, you run hard to break tackles and make people miss, Ware said. Fullback, you dont want to miss. Its more of just sizing your defender out and trying to dissect him, picking bits and parts of him as you work through the game and try to get him worn down.

Making the most of Zach Millers absence
Zach Miller has been conspicuous by his absence during the first three days of the Seahawks training camp.
For starters, he is the starting tight end, that is. Then theres the unnerving fact that the other six tight ends on the 90-man roster have combined to start a total of zero NFL games, compared to 91 for Miller.
Theres no question that Zach has established himself as a fantastic part of our football team, coach Pete Carroll said after Saturdays practice, the first with the players wearing shoulder pads. This is not going to hurt his development at all. Hes really close to being back.
With Miller sidelined by a sore foot, the coaches are getting a chance to not just look at but examine the less-experienced tight ends who are competing for the other two spots on the 53-man roster. Right?
Sure, and Ive got a lot of guys to look at, tight ends coach Pat McPherson said.
At the head of the line are Luke Willson, who was selected in the fifth round of Aprils NFL Draft; and Sean McGrath, who spent most of last season on the practice squad but was signed to the 53-man roster in December.
It really does give Luke and Sean a chance to really be up in there with the No. 1 offense and do some good things and see if they can be the No. 2 and No. 3 guys for us, McPherson said.
The competition had been for the No. 3 spot, but incumbent backup Anthony McCoy was lost when he ruptured an Achilles tendon during an OTA practice this offseason. So this extra work really is benefitting Willson and McGrath.
Luke is continuing to progress, McPherson said of the 6-foot5, 252-pound Willson. He came back a little bigger, but with the same speed.
And it was Willsons speed that attracted the Seahawks, because he can provide an element that has been missing at the position.
Were only on our third day of install, McPherson said of the seven-practice process of installing the offense to open camp. So we need to get everything in to really take advantage of all the things that he can do.
Its doubtful that anyone worked harder in the offseason program than McGrath, who was signed as a rookie free agent last year. If want-to is any kind of a factor, McGrath will be around after the final roster cut.
Sean has had a great offseason, he really has, McPherson said. He did a nice job in the spring. Hes a steady dude and hell catch the ball. But weve got to see him be real physical, too.
And that wont really happen for McGrath and Willson until the preseason games start on Aug. 8 with the opener in San Diego against the Chargers.
Youll be able to tell some stuff out here, like how they keep up mentally and how they run routes, McPherson said. But you really cant know if a guys going to be that guy until he starts playing against other teams.
The other tight ends, meanwhile, are also getting additional reps in practice as they try to move up the depth chart. Heres McPhersons take on each:
Michael Palmer (6-5, 252) He was signed this week after playing the past three seasons with Atlanta Falcons. Palmer had 21 catches for 123 yards and three touchdowns while in Atlanta.
Hes a pro. Hes learning the system really quick, McPherson said. Hes very smart, very accountable. And he seems like hes a tough guy and knows how to play football. But hes still learning the system.
Cooper Helfet (6-3, 239) He was in camp as a rookie free agent last summer and spent some time on the practice squad last season.
Cooper does some good things, McPherson said. He missed most of the spring (with an injury), so hes getting some needed reps.
Darren Fells (6-7, 281) A basketball player in college, Fells is trying to make the quantum leap from being an all-CIF tight end at Fullerton (Calif.) High School to becoming an NFL tight end.
Lets see what Darren Fells can do. Today is the first time hes worn football pads (in a long time), McPherson said. He did fine today. But hes 6-8, so hes always going to be dealing with that. Hes got to be able to play low and get himself underneath a defender more. Hes athletic enough that he can do it, hes just got to get used to doing it more.
Victor Marshall (6-4, 225) He did play college football, but as a wide receiver at the University of British Columbia. So Marshall is making a transition of a different kind.
Hes got some growing pains getting into the physical part of it, just because hes never really done it that way, McPherson said. But he put on some weight over the summer and hes carrying it fine. He catches the ball fine. He runs great.
Then theres Miller, who has been there, done that. He is, not surprisingly, the best blocker of the group. He is a proven receiver, also no great shock because he had a pair of 60-plus catch seasons while with the Oakland Raiders before signing with the Seahawks as a free agent in 2011.
Zach being out it is certainly giving guys a chance, Carroll said. Its giving Luke a great shot. Hes getting first-team work every day, and the demands of that are great. But its good for him to have the heat on him a little bit.
Hes pushing to get his stuff right and hes doing a very nice job, too.

Luke Willson:
As a 5th round draft choice, Willson may have been a sleeper heading into camp, but with former backup TE Anthony McCoy tearing his Achilles tendon earlier this year and starting TE Zach Miller sitting out the start of training camp nursing an injury, he has certainly gotten his fair share of action with the first-team offense, and really has made the most of that opportunity so far.
But who is Luke Willson? For starters, the 65 250 pound TE played 4 seasons at Rice, and was one of the teams senior leaders despite battling injuries this past season. In his career, he racked up 986 yards on 78 catches, and hauled in 9 TDs. Last season, he was the Owls #2 TE behind Vance McDonald, who was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2nd round of this years NFL Draft.
Willson is a very athletic TE for his size. At Rices Pro Day, he posted fantastic 40-yard dash times of 4.57 and 4.46, obviously incredible given his 250-pound frame. He also posted 23 reps on the bench press, and had an astounding vertical leap of 38 inches. His 40-time, bench press, and vertical, as well as his 3-cone drill time, short shuttle time, and broad jump, would have all placed among the top 10 TEs at the NFL Draft Combine.
With Zach Miller absent from camp so far, Willson, along with second year TE Sean McGrath, has had a great opportunity to show what he can do with the first-team offense, and perhaps more importantly, against the Seahawks stout first-team defense. Hes made a few standout plays in practice already, making athletic catches on more than one occasion. With his size and speed, the Seahawks may have found a gem late in the draft this year in Willson, and he has a great opportunity to be the teams second TE behind Miller in Week 1.
Chris Harper:
The Seahawks 4th round draft choice this year, Chris Harper is a big, physical receiver who figures to compete for the teams fifth WR behind Percy Harvin, Sidney Rice, Golden Tate, and Doug Baldwin. But with Harvin, Rice, and Baldwin all known for their lack of durability at times, especially now with Harvin already dealing with a hip issue, Harper could make a significant impact at times this year.
Harper actually came out of high school as a QB, which is what he played for the first few weeks of his college career at Oregon before he and his coaches decided to move him to WR following a shoulder injury. After one season at Oregon, Harper transferred to Kansas State so he could be closer to his family in Wichita. Over the next 3 seasons, he became QB Collin Kleins favorite target, hauling in 123 catches for 1734 yards and 12 TDs.
Standing at 61 and weighing 234 pounds, Harper is one of the tallest and by far the heaviest Seahawk WR, and as his 4.55 40-yard dash time shows, he isnt slowed down much by his size either. He can be very difficult to cover at times due to this size-speed combination, and he isnt easy to bring down once the ball is in his hands.
His very strong hands and athletic ability were on display in practice Sunday, when during a 2-minute drill, he made a great catch along the sidelines inside the 5-yard line after QB Russell Wilson had scrambled away from pressure. Going forward, Harper figures to make an impact on special teams and as one of the teams key subs at WR, and it will be interesting to see how he grows as he learns the position at the NFL level.

Jesse Williams
The fifth-round draft choice had what Carroll labeled "a really good day" in Friday's mock day.
At 325 pounds, the defensive tackle from Alabama and Australia brings an element the line needs after Alan Branch signed elsewhere in free agency size and length at the three-technique spot.
"He really looked good," Carroll said. "That's the best he's looked, by far. He played very physical football and controlled the line of scrimmage well. He's a real smart kid, real smart football player. You can see the savvy that he has. He senses a lot of stuff.
"So this is a real exciting preseason for us, and for him. We want to see where he fits in."
Asked who else jumped out in the video review of Friday's mock game, Carroll listed cornerback Byron Maxwell, rookie running backs Christine Michael and Ware and rookie tight end Luke Willson.

Rookie Luke Willson fits in at tight end for Seahawks
RENTON A week into training camp, Seattle Seahawks fifth-round selection Luke Willson already looks more comfortable in the offense.
Just ask his position coach, tight ends coach Pat McPherson.
Hes a sharp kid, McPherson said. Hes very vigilant in his studying, and just staying on top of everything mentally. Hes doing a great job out there. For a rookie, hes been dynamite.
Willsons play also has caught the attention of quarterback Russell Wilson.
Luke looks great, Wilson said. Hes doing a great job at understanding where he needs to be at the right time. He has a great sense of looking for the ball, and hes got unbelievable hands and a lot of speed.
With regular starter Zach Miller on the physically unable to perform list to begin training camp, Willson is listed as the starting tight end on the depth chart for Thursdays exhibition opener at San Diego.
Although Millers relegated to the sideline, Willson said the veteran has regularly been in his ear throughout practice, offering tips and advice.
Zachs been a ton of help, Willson said. With him being out right now, hes really been talking me through a lot of plays what to think, and what to look for pre-snap. Hes been tremendous for me so far.
The former Rice star has demonstrated he has the physical attributes to play tight end in the NFL. He admitted to being a work-in-progress as a run blocker, but said learning the playbook has been the most challenging thing so far at training camp.
For me, the toughest part has been the mental part of it, Willson said. I mean, were up here, especially as rookies, until 8:30 (p.m.). Weve got meetings and special teams stuff things like that going.
Its not a bad thing, but you really have to be focused, because if you miss that little bit of crucial information, all of sudden it shows up on the field. So thats kind of the big thing for me is mentally, I really have to be focused in.
McPherson said hell dial things back a little bit for Willson during practice this week so hes fresh for Thursdays game.
Right now, to get ready for this game, partially its my job to help get his legs fresh again, so we can get him back to that speed, McPherson said. He takes so many reps, and he runs so hard, that he gets a little tired, a little sore.

Time for Seahawks' Jordan Hill to put on big boy pads
RENTON Jordan Hill noticed an immediate difference from college to the NFL during his first day with full pads last week when All-Pro center Max Unger and left guard Paul McQuistan crashed down on him during a run-blocking drill.
When its a double team, pass or run, youve got to put on your big boy pads and be ready to go, Hill said, smiling. I like going against the first team because I know Ive got to bring it each and every play.
At Penn State, the 6-foot-1, 303-pound defensive tackle was a man amongst boys, using his quickness, strength and leverage to overpower his opponents.
The movement is the thing that we saw on college tape, Seahawks defensive coordinator Dan Quinn said. As a 3-technique inside pass rusher, hes very active, and thats one of the things I noticed right away.
A first team all-Big Ten performer his senior season at Penn State, Hill finished with a career-high 64 tackles, 4.5 sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss in 12 games.
But Hill, a third-round selection for the Seahawks in this years draft, faces a steep learning curve. Seattle head coach Pete Carroll said the team drafted Hill for his ability to rush the passer from the interior of the defense.
Its similar to what I did at Penn State, Hill said. I like playing both inside positions. Ive just got to get comfortable. Once I get comfortable, Ill be ready to go.
Hill, 22, is third on the depth chart at nose tackle behind starter Brandon Mebane and backup Clinton McDonald, but will be given an opportunity to earn time as part of Seattles third-down pass-rush package.
Wed like to see him really compete to be on the nickel group, and rushing the passer, Carroll said. Hes got nice quickness. Hes got a good style about his pass rush. Well see if that fits in. Right now, hes making some good impressions in that regard so that would be a great role for him to fill.
Hill is one of a handful of young players on the defensive line who will get a chance to show what they can do in the exhibition opener against the San Diego Chargers on Thursday. Carroll also has had high praise for fifth-round draft choice Jesse Williams, who has been working at defensive tackle on early downs,
and might be the front-runner to replace departed free agent Alan Branch as the teams run-stuffing defensive tackle.
Second-year pro Jaye Howard, a fourth-round selection last season, also continues to make plays in practice and will see time at strongside defensive end behind Red Bryant. And third-year pro Mike Morgan is slated to start at Leo defensive end with Chris Clemons and Cliff Avril injured.
Ive seen a lot of growth in him in the past two weeks, Mebane said about Hill. Hes getting better. Hes getting a lot of reps, like weve all done as rookies. So Im happy to see him develop.

WEEKI WACHEE — The battle for positioning in Class 3A, District 7 has been ruthless. And with Fivay trying to fend off Weeki Wachee for third place, Friday night's boys soccer game was as meaningful as it gets.
Weeki Wachee, on pace for the best campaign in the program's three-year history, came back in the second half to top the Falcons 2-1.
The victory seized third place for the Hornets (6-3, 6-3) and put them only one win from last year's season total, when the team went 7-7-5 in Shane Tarbox's first season as coach.
Fivay (7-3-1, 5-3-1) was on the short side of a lopsided time of possession in the first half, but despite being outshot 8-3, the Falcons put their lone shot on goal into the back of the net only six minutes into regulation. Connor Magli lined a pass to Jacob Hindman on the right side of the box before Hindman lined a cross-field shot off the inside of the left post past Weeki Wachee keeper Mike Van Slee.
"We've been notoriously slow starters," Tarbox said. "We usually give up the first goal, but the kids always seem to come on strong after that."
That was one of only two shots on goal that Van Slee (one save) faced. The young, restructured defense for the Hornets held strong.
Down 1-0 after halftime, Weeki Wachee took only eight minutes to knot the score. Dakota Johnson connected with Mike Tinari on a short pass directly in front of the net. Tinari scored his fourth goal of the season, lining a shot past Fivay keeper Luke Theede (three saves).
"Mike is always in the middle of the action with the ball," Tarbox said. "He is so valuable to what we do offensively."
Tinari added his fourth assist of the year when he centered a beautiful pass to Bailey Hypes in front of Theede. The forward, playing in only his second varsity contest, scored his first goal, which ended up being the winner.

Begin with filling in your information in the Background Information Tab (Acreage & Applicator Name & License Number).
For each application, select the growth stage from the drop down list, enter application date, and start/stop times of each application. Select applicator (your name should appear if filled out in Background Information), target pests and pesticide trade names from the drop down lists, enter number of acres applied and spray rate and use the comments cell to add extra information.
The spreadsheet will automatically fill in the pesticide product information (Formulation, Ingredients, EPA #, REI, PHI, Use).
Fill in the Cost per Unit and the spreadsheet will calculate Total Costs including a Cost Summary in the Background Information Tab.
Please email Sladjana Prozo if you find that there are products missing and/or described incorrectly. If you have ideas for improving the spreadsheet we'd be happy to hear them as well!

Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Dog-A-Log gives you access to Dog Breed information on the go.
This application utilises a database of Dogs collected off of wikipedia.org - and condensed down for the iPhone.
Dogs are sorted into groups by name, and you also have the ability to do a rudimentary search of the dogs. This should make it easier for finding information on the dog that you are interested in.
Dog-A-Log now also includes the ability to view larger images of the dogs.
The information in Dog-A-Log has been gathered from wikipedia.org, and you may know more up to date or accurate information. If you would like to improve the resources, either email us the changes, or edit them directly on wikipedia.org and email firstname.lastname@example.com so we can update our records as well.
wikipedia.org is a great place for sharing information, but sometimes that information can be incomplete or inaccurate. If you notice errors, please let us know and we will update wikipedia.org and our application (or you can do it yourself directly). Also if you have a better image of a dog, and are willing to let us use it - please email it.
