"To know things, for us to know things, is bad for them. We get to wanting and when we get to wanting it's bad for them. They thinks we want what they got . . . . That's why they don't want us reading." --Nightjohn "I didn't know what letters was, not what they meant, but I thought it might be something I wanted to know. To learn." -- SarnySarny, a female slave at the Waller plantation, first sees Nightjohn when he is brought there with a rope around his neck, his body covered in scars.He had escaped north to freedom, but he came back--came back to teach reading. Knowing that the penalty for reading is dismemberment Nightjohn still retumed to slavery to teach others how to read. And twelve-year-old Sarny is willing to take the risk to learn.Set in the 1850s, Gary Paulsen's groundbreaking new novel is unlike anything else the award-winning author has written. It is a meticulously researched, historically accurate, and artistically crafted portrayal of a grim time in our nation's past, brought to light through the personal history of two unforgettable characters.
"Nightjohn should be required reading (and discussing) for all middle grade and high school students." --School Library Journal, Starred "Among the most powerful of Paulsen's works, this impeccable researched novel sheds light on cruel truths in American history as it traces the experiences of a 12-year-old slave girl in the 1850s." --Publishers Weekly, Starred "Paulsen is at his best here."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Starred An ALA Notable Book and Best Book for Young Adults

Finding Movie Quotations
Ever get a line from a movie stuck in your head but you can't remember the film it's from? Or you've got a twenty riding on a bar-bet about the accuracy of a TV quote?
Despair no more. The site QuoDB.com has the answers.
The site is a huge database of movie and television scripts, and it will pinpoint down to the second where in the film the quote appears. For instance, I looked up the word multi-pass:
01:09:24 Multi-pass.
The Fifth Element (1997)
01:09:18 - And this is?
01:09:21 - Leeloo Dallas. Multi-pass.
01:09:24 - Multi-pass.
01:09:25 - She knows it's a multi-pass.
01:09:27 - My wife. We're newlyweds. Just met.
The site tells me the word appears five other times in the film, and details on those are only a mouse-click away.
Definitely a site worth bookmarking.

Kryptonite in the OED
The latest additions to the OED Online includes an entry for kryptonite. Definition:
In the fictional world of the comic book hero Superman: a substance that renders Superman weak and powerless. Hence in figurative or allusive use: something that can weaken or damage a particular person or thing; an Achilles heel.
And the dictionary includes the following note:
Kryptonite is most commonly depicted as a green mineral that came to earth from Krypton, Superman's home planet, following its destruction. Other types have appeared in various comic books, films, etc., each having different properties.
Kryptonite first appears on the Superman radio program in 1943. It's comic book appearance dates from 1949. The earliest figurative use cited by the OED is from 1965.
The Word The Internet Didn't Know
Not really.
The word parbunkells got a flurry of press coverage starting a few days ago, such as this piece from Popular Mechanics. Artist Julia Weist rented a billboard in Queens to feature the word, claiming that it was a forgotten seventeenth-century word that did not appear on the internet. Gizmodo declared the word to be "dead to the digital world—and to almost every living person." Weist was trying to make a point about how information is shared over the internet, telling Gizmodo:
The word has also become a shortcut to a portrait of meaning making and content production on the Internet, both human and non-human, in the sense that you can search for it and see spools of information, reaction, conversation, re-context- ualization and response. In that sense it's all or nothing, and now that word has been used, the more usage the better.
But she chose a bad example to make her point, and the mainstream media covering the story got a lot wrong.Read the rest of the article...
Teaching Registers
The Economist's Prospero blog has a post on the necessity of teaching different registers of speech. It uses Portuguese as an example, which I can't speak to, not knowing the language, but the fundamental point the article makes is a good one: "Instead of a rigid right-wrong approach, with the written form always being taught as right, it would be better to teach the idea of register: that certain forms are used in casual speech, other forms in formal speech, others still in writing."
It's a good point. Students are smart, and they instinctively know how to switch registers—they do it all the time in their own speech. The only thing that needs to be done is make them aware that they do it. It's not a difficult concept.
Depicting World Languages
A neat visualization of the twenty-three most popular languages, depicted proportionally by the number of speakers.
The graphic was created by Alberto Lucas Lopéz for the South China Morning Post.
Data like this is always a bit suspect, but this chart is based on the information at Ethnologue.com, which is generally pretty good. The biggest problem is that it represents only the top twenty-three languages, leaving out the other six thousand or so. It also only captures L1, or first-language users. The total number of English speakers, for example, is much larger. It also fails to capture dialectal differences; for example Chinese is not as unified as the chart makes it out to be. Still, it's a useful visualization in many ways.
For me, the most surprising thing in the image is the realization that French has relatively few speakers. There are some 87 million additional L2 speakers, but that's still not a lot compared to the other languages on the chart. I would have guessed that it would have been much higher. Still, in the rankings of all world languages, French is in the top one percent.

1. This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed by the accused petitioner, seeking grant of anticipatory bail in a case bearing FIR No. 139 dated 14.10.2000 under Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 (hereinafter referred to as Act), recorded in PS Sadar, Panipat.
2. At the outset the question arose as to whether the offence under Section 7 of the Act is bailable or non-bailable Hence the learned counsel for the parties were directed to address their arguments on this question.
3. After hearing the counsel for the parties and after perusing the record, it transpires that Section 7 of the Act, as it stood prior to the amendment of the said Act by virtue of the Essential Commodities (Special Provisions) Act, 1981, would be relevant in this regard. It transpired that under Section 10-A of the Act, as it stood prior to 1981 amendment, every offence punishable under the said Act was cognizable. Subsequently, by virtue of 1981 Amendment Act, the words "and non-bailable" were inserted. Initially, this was done for a period of 5 years from the date of commencement of the 1981 Amendment Act (1st September, 1982). Later, on this period of 5 years was enhanced to 10 years. Later on this period was extended to 15 years. After the expiry of the said period of 15 years, the amendments which were introduced by way of 1981 Amendment Act, ceased to exist, The Essential Commodities (Special Provisions) Ordinance, 1997, was promulgated by the President of India on 3rd October, 1997, whereby the Essential Commodities Act, 1955 was amended. However, no Act was passed by the Parliament in this regard. Subsequently, 2 more Ordinances were promulgated by the President of India in the year 1988, amending the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. Even amendment bill was also introduced in the Parliament. However, no Act was passed by the Parliament, amending the Essential Commodities Act, 1955. In this manner, the Ordinances promulgated in the years 1997 and 1998 lapsed in due course of time. The resultant effect is that the provisions of Section 7 of the Act, which existed prior to 1981 Amendment Act, would be applicable to the present case.
4. As referred to above, prior to 1981, every offence under the said Act was cognizable, as provided expired, it would be clear that the words "and non- bailable" cannot be read in Section 10-A of the Act, with regard to the offence which had taken place after the expiry of the period of 1981 Amendment Act (as extended from time to time) and after the period when the 1997 and 1998 Ordinances had lapsed. The net result would be that with regard to the offences committed after the expiry of the said period, the words "and non-bailable" could not be read in Section 10-A of the Act. Once it is found that the words "and non-bailable" had been omitted in Section 10-A of the Act, that by itself would not be sufficient to hold that all the offences under the Act had become bailable. The Essential Commodities Act, 1955, as it exists after the expiry of period of 1981 Amendment Act (as amended from time to time) and after the lapse of 1997 and 1998 Ordinances, is thus silent as to whether the offences under the said Act are bailable or non-bailable. In that eventuality, we have to fall back upon the provisions of Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. In Schedule II of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, it is provided that with regard to the offences against other laws (other than Indian Penal Code), if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for less than 3 years or with fine, the offence would be bailable and if the offence is punishable with imprisonment for 3 years and above, the offence would be non- bailable. Since the Essential Commodities Act does not specify as to whether the offence is bailable or non-bailable, the above said provisions of Code of Criminal Procedure would apply.
5. In view of the above, the question as to whether the offence is bailable or non-bailable, would depend upon the quantum of punishment provided under the said Act. Some of the offences committed under the Act are punishable with imprisonment upto 7 years, whereas some of the offences are punishable with lesser imprisonment, the maximum sentence provided is imprisonment for one year. It will all depend with regard to the offence committed by the accused. A similar view was taken by a Division Bench of the Bombay High Court, in the case reported as Pruthviraj Chandrakant Shinde v. State of Maharashtra, 2000(1) Recent Criminal Reports 531.
6. In the present case, it is not disputed before me that the offence involved is punishable with maximum punishment of 7 years. That being so, the offence is non-bailable. That being so, the provisions of Section 438 Cr.P.C. would be applicable to the present case.
7. Coming on merits, the learned counsel for the State, on the basis of instructions received by him from ASI, Sandeep Singh, of PS Sadar, Panipat, has submitted that in the various ration cards, the entries regarding the sale of the sugar etc. are there in respect of the disputed period.
8. After hearing the counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, it is directed that in case of arrest of the petitioner, in this case, petitioner shall be released on bail by the Arresting Officer, on furnishing band to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer. It is further directed that the petitioner shall join investigation, shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence, and shall not leave India without the prior permission of the Court.
9. Order accordingly.

Ali Larter Is In, and On, Shape
Ali Larter has always been one of those celebrities that I find to be inspiring, fitness wise. She always seems to have a realistic view of working out and her own body image. Her interview in the latest issue of Shape magazine provided a little more insight on what she does to stay so darn fit.
Here are highlights:
"Working out has always been part of my life," says Ali, who grew up playing sports like softball and soccer. "Now that I'm in my 30s, it's become even more important to take care of myself." A dedicated runner, Ali takes advantage of the near-perfect Los Angeles weather with 25-minute jogs three or four times a week through the Hollywood Hills. "This is nonnegotiable," she says of her two- to three-mile run. "I don't think about it, I just do it. I never, ever miss my workout. Never!"
Amen sister!

Discussing Energy Industry and Energy Policy on House Floor
... balance of his time. the gentleman from massachusetts. mr. capuano: madam speaker, i yield as much time -- one minute, to the majority leader. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from maryland is recognized for one minute. mr. hoyer: i thank the gentleman for yielding. i was in my office, as i have been over the days recently where i see the distinguished minority leader rise. i see other members on that side of the aisle rise, beat their chest about drilling. my side of the aisle is for drilling. we just had a press conference on drilling. but as i sit there, i think to myself, you know, the american people gave the opportunity to the republican party, the minority party now in the house of representatives to lead this country and they gave them all of the power in washington. they gave them the respect si, house of representatives and united states senate. they did that in the year 2000. they had already given them the house. and two oil men were elected president and vice president. and in january. the vice president decided to have and he had over the coming months in 2001, he convened a meeting, a secret meeting of those involved in the energy industry, to adopt energy policies. in that meeting, the minority leader is now leaving, i'm sorry, but we'll see him late ir-- that meeting perhaps resulted in success, i don't know. i don't know what the meeting was about. but during the course of the presidency of bill clinton, oil went from $1.06 to $1.46, five cents per year was the increase in the cost of gasoline at the pump for americans. and then president bush, vice president cheney, the republicans came to town, all of town. and gas went from $1.46 in january 20 of 2001 to over $4.10 on average throughout this country. pretty stark. and now it goes up from time to time from five cents a day, where under bill clinton, five cents a year. and then the republicans five years later, adopted a bill, 2005, their energy policy. they were in control of the house, control of the senate and had the presidency. they passed that bill. gas was then about $2.20. and they said, we have adopted an energy policy. said it on the floor, said it when they signed the bill. we've done a bill now that's going to stable idse prices and going to make sure that americans have energy supply. that's what they said, not what we said. . ladies and gentlemen, had who are listening to the debate on this floor, i tell you that there are 68 million acres right now, right now available for leasing. you ring your hands and say, well, open up places for drilling. we've done that, friends. look at the statistics. 68 million acres in the lower 48. and another 20 million acres give or take a million in alaska. they talk about a wildlife refuge that they want to drill in. but they don't talk about the 20 million acres in the national petroleum reserve area in alaska. currently available. the administration could be pursuing leases on it. we may well have legislation say, administration, start moving. start drilling. start bringing product to the market. so we'll bring prices down. now, of course, one of the aspects of bringing prices down, my friends, will be that the oil companies will make less profits. now, i know everybody in america believes that the oil companies want to get more product so they can bring prices down and make less profits. i know all americans believe that's the way the system works. the republicans keep harping on drilling. we want to drill. we want to produce more american product and by the way we're going to bring legislation to the floor that's going to say, when you drill, sell it here in the united states of america. keep our resources here in the united states of america. so i want to tell my friends there are 88 million acres. ...

It's not every day a porn king thanks the Lord above. "There is a God, don't think there isn't," former adult shop owner Con Ange told Saleroom this week. "I've waited a long time for this day. He got his just reward."
"He" is Sotheby's Australia chairman
A few years earlier, Mr Smith gave evidence in a successful action brought against Mr Ange's estranged wife Mimi by the auction house Bonhams & Goodman, where Mr Smith was then national head of art.
Mr Ange's wife had consigned 22 paintings from the couple's collection to B&G for sale in May 2009, but Mr Ange had obtained an 11th hour injunction preventing the sale from going ahead. B&G then successfully sued Mimi Ange to force payment of a $730,000-plus withdrawal fee.
In that March 2010 court case, Justice Kim Hargrave of the Supreme Court of Victoria said he preferred the evidence of B&G chief Tim Goodman and Mr Smith to that of Mr and Mrs Ange. He also accepted Mr Smith's valuation of a key work, Frederick McCubbin'sMidsummers Eve.
Mr Ange relishes what he sees as ironic similarities between the two cases; Smith's property dispute began when he sought an injunction to stop Mr Gould selling a Brett Whiteley work he claimed was joint property.
In a further irony, the disputed Ange paintings – including the McCubbin, now carrying an estimate of $1.2 million to $1.6 million – form the backbone of Bonhams' November 19, $5 million to $7 million Australian art sale. Bonhams is now fully owned by its international parent after B&G was dissolved in late 2009. Mr Smith and Sotheby's Australia were never going to get the sale, Mr Ange says, the proceeds of which will go to his former wife.
The November sale is also interesting for others reasons. Bonhams' chairman Mark Fraser says the colonial and Heidelberg school works that make up three-quarters of the auction are ready for a comeback, if the sale of Arthur Streeton's Settler's Camp for $2.1 million in May is any indication. That sale set an auction record for Streeton, and was the highest price paid at auction for the year.
"That was a painting I had tried to sell at Sotheby's for $1.5 million a decade ago and couldn't," Mr Fraser said. "In previous years it would have been a Nolan or a Whiteley but people are looking for value and these are blue-chip." He attributed renewed interest in colonials and Australian impressionists to a resale royalty scheme that encourages buyers to find works that would not be subject to it down the line. Then there is a broader shift from the '90s minimalism that favoured big modernist paintings towards an eclecticism that groups different styles and periods "almost like 18th-century connoisseurship".
"More importantly, I think people are recognising the period's significance," Mr Fraser said. "A lot of this art was bought in the 1980s, around the bicentenary, when nationalistic Australian art schools were very important, for huge sums of money that, adjusted for inflation, we are not seeing again."
The November 19 sale will be followed by an Aboriginal auction that mirrors it, featuring several early Papunya Tula works, including Clifford Possum's seminal 1972 Love Story. "We have tailored the sale to what we think are the foundation works of the Aboriginal art movement, Papunya boards," Mr Fraser said.

To clarify the location (since it is well worth the hike), take a faint path to the right from the main Mountaineers Dome trail when you reach the first plateau above the road (well before the dome and much lower than it looks in the guide). Follow this, and some exposed pipe in places, past several areas of unconsolidated rock until you are directly below the route. The trail then turns and heads up the hill to the base of the climb.
Scrabble around right of the route for the walk off, or to access the Contractor Rock area.

Publication Acceptance Date: 12/20/2007

Citation: N/A Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Silvopastoral management attempts to optimize the biophysical interactions between pasture grasses, trees, and grazing animals to increase the productivity, efficiency, and sustainability of the entire system. Determining how best to space and thin trees within mixed hardwood silvopastures to provide for sufficient forage production and adequate soil nutrition requires detailed knowledge of resource capture, allocation, and distribution across system components. This study integrates chemical, biophysical, and microbiological/microfaunal assessments with spatial models to address the following questions: (1) What is the zone-of-influence of individual trees on soil properties relevant to forage production?; (2) At what spatial and temporal scale should soils be sampled to adequately quantify the patchiness resulting from uniform and non-uniform tree distributions?; and, (3) How can we incorporate knowledge about tree-derived spatial heterogeneity into soil management practices and risk assessment for silvopastoral systems? The utility of individual soil variables for management, monitoring, and/or risk assessment depends largely upon the process and the scale of interest. Understanding how soil properties vary in response to tree-forage interactions is a critical first step to developing sampling strategies that allow managers to better synchronize patterns of nutrient availability with the needs of forage and livestock production.

At Carnegie Mellon University and other schools, staffers at student papers recently learned that lesson after attempts at humor fell flat.
Carnegie Mellon's paper, The Tartan, voluntarily shut down for the rest of the semester after it published a cartoon in which a goat uses a racial slur while telling a mouse how he had hit a black person on a bike. The 12-page spoof, dubbed The Natrat — Tartan backward — also included a depiction of female genitalia and poems about rape and mutilation.
University of Scranton officials closed the student paper, The Aquinas, after it parodied Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, college administrators and Georgetown University, a fellow Jesuit institution.
The student newspaper at the University of Nebraska at Omaha apologized Friday for its April Fools' section, which school officials said demeaned African-Americans. The paper, the Gateway, had a wraparound edition titled the Ghettoway, with headlines pen names for writers like Mindjo Bidness and Ono Udidn.
At Carnegie Mellon, The Tartan fired its cartoonist, who didn't respond to an e-mail request for an interview Tuesday. The school is forming a committee to look into what happened. Alex Meseguer, the editor in chief, who has said fatigue clouded the editors' judgment, announced at an open meeting attending by about 150 students Tuesday night that he would take a leave of absence until fall. He did not respond to an e-mail and phone message seeking an interview Tuesday afternoon.
Mark Goodman, executive director Student Press Law Center in Arlington, Va., said such April Fools' issues are getting less common. "Back in the '70s and '80s, it was extremely common," he said.
Goodman attributes the decline in part to school papers becoming more professional.
"I think what most newspaper staff have come to realize is, humor and satire are completely appropriate ... in the right place" such as a regular humor or satire column or separate publication, Goodman said. "The conflict, I think, for newspapers is when every other issue of the year they're covering straight news ... it create problems."
Also, not everyone is adept at humor or satire, Goodman said. "Anyone who's ever written satire knows it's not really easy," he said.
"When you engage in humor or satire, the challenge that a newspaper ... faces is one of interpretation. The general idea is that people who are doing an April Fool's joke expect that people on whom it's played will understand the prankster's position," said Aly Colon, an ethics-group leader at the Poynter Institute, the journalism research and education center in St. Petersburg, Fla. "That's where a disconnect can take place."
Goodman said the law center discourages April Fool's editions, noting some have led to lawsuits. Still, he said, the organization defends the rights of student editors to decide what to print.
"The suits are seldom successful, but the problem is, they can really cause a lot of headaches" in terms of cost and effort to fight, he said.
"At many of the newspapers where this happens, there isn't a professional adviser on staff," he said.

for the price, it is GREAT -- a lovely outpost for family adventures, right on a beautiful little lake. The host was accommodating and responsive. We used the boats, we used the grill, we explored Great Barrington and the surrounding area on a beautiful Memorial day weekend.
The house and furnishings are in need of some updating, e.g. old beds and bedding, loose kitchen sink.
Overall though, good experience!
We really enjoyed our vacation at the house. We had 3-4 adults and seven kids (ranging in age from 1.5-13 years) staying the property. The house is somewhat rustic but comfy. Bedrooms are very small, but the living area was more than adequate for our group. Kitchen has everything you would need to cook (except for microwave). There is a tv in the living room and another in one of the bedrooms. No TV reception as far as I know, but they had a large collection of tapes and dvds, so everyone could find something. We also uitilized the local library at great barrington to take out some more books and dvds. There is a nice collection of sports equipment in the basement, as well as some kids toys, a bunch of books from baby to adult, fishing poles, some bikes, and of course the boats (with a decent supply of life jackets). The grills are charcoal, so buy some if you want to use them. The fire pit is a nice touch if you like making fires. The lake is better for boating than for swimming. There is small clear area near the shore, but it has a lot of plant matter closer to the shore. If you're a good swimmer, further away from the shore is better, but for little kids it was somewhat of a problem. There are also beavers in the water, but those seem to show up only closer to sunset. Not too many bugs based on the location, but we did get some bites, so bring some bug spray. Shopping is close by (10-15 minutes) in great barrington. There is a also a great plaground, tennis and basketball courts (equipment available at the house) five minute drive away at French park. Overall, everyone really enjoyed our stay. I took a star off because one of the bathrooms had issues with water in the bathtub (cold water didn't work-the owner said he'll look into it) and because we ran into a problem with garbage pick-up. Also, verizon and at&t had reception, but t-mobil would not start working until great barrington (I could get roaming in French Park, but very poor reception). No wi-fi available. Overall, everyone really enjoyed our stay and I would recommend it to our friends.
We had a wonderful stay at the lake house! The view of the lake from the balcony is beautiful. The living room is really spacious and comfortable! The area is gorgeous and we really enjoyed kayaking on the lake and the fire pit outside! Just a short drive to Great Barrington and all its great shops, restaurants, and amazing Soco ice cream!
Our extended family (8 people + dog) stayed here for a week in July and really enjoyed it, despite the lack of AC during a heat wave. It was easy to kayak the lake, we could all eat dinner on the deck, we made s'mores around the fire pit, and the kids loved all the toys and games (plus the badminton net and hammock). I would definitely recommend it, but renters should be aware of a couple of things:
1. There's no Internet, and while the owner said AT&T cell service is excellent, we got virtually no signal with our Verizon or T-Mobile devices. (This was a challenge for me personally, because I had to work part of the week and was hoping to set up a mobile hotspot. But the adorable town of Great Barrington is very close by, with free Wi-Fi in the library.)
2. It's a pretty rustic and natural setting, which was a plus for some of us but not for everyone. We saw a number of beavers -- legit! -- swimming in the lake, which was really cool. We also saw a water snake near the dock, which was not as cool, and pretty much kept us from swimming the rest of the week!
If you don't mind getting up close and personal with nature, and are more interested in kayaking than swimming (or visit in the winter instead) then it's a really nice, cozy, pet-friendly place for a big group.
We stayed here during the coldest week in Feb. to go skiing. There was plenty of room for everyone to gather together, to eat or work on art projects. The kitchen was small but functional and had plenty of dishes, utensils and large enough pots and pans. The only thing missing was a microwave. The beds were quite comfortable with plenty of extra blankets. The basement had the ping pong table but, it was unheated down there, so we didn't use it.
It was plenty warm in the house even with the temperatures below zero. There were shovels available to clear off the small snow. The driveway and parking area was plowed.
There were several ski places in the area to choose from.
Bill was quite accommodating and very helpful as we made arrangements to stay here.
We appreciate your generosity and kindness, thank you.
What a lovely house! it was raining the weekend we stayed, so we didn't get to use the lake much, but it was still cozy as ever and perfect for our group of friends. It's a gorgeous view on the deck, plenty of space, big comfy couch, and all the amenities we needed. Thanks Bill!

A holiday in Ventnor offers an extensive menu for those that wish to do more than simply relax on the sheltered sandy beaches it provides.
There is some absolutely fantastic scenery to capture your imagination if you are into painting or photography with high views across the island from the top of St Boniface downs and some idyllic spots tucked away in the old village of Bonchurch or along the Undercliff drive towards Niton and some breathtaking views out to sea.
We are lucky enough to enjoy our own little micro climate thanks to the downs that protect us from the northerly winds , we regularly see temperatures a couple of degrees higher than the rest of southern England. Because of this Ventnor is home to one of the best botanic gardens in the country where many rarities thrive.
To the east of Ventnor lies the picturesque village of Bonchurch a favourite haunt of Charles Dickens that has little changed since his day. A leisurely stroll will take you into the Luccombe land slip. an area of outstanding natural beauty and a SSSi (site of special scientific interest ) and a little further on the old village of Shanklin
For those of you that are a bit more outgoing you can find stables nearby offering riding lessons and hacking sessions.
For those that have a liking for mud there are plenty of off road routes for mountain biking
And for those that like the waves there is surfing, windsurfing and sailing or for a more tranquil time why not hire a boat and go fishing or relax on one of the Ventnor bay tours.
We have a bowling green, a little putting green and golf course with spectacular views and tennis courts open to the public all within easy walking distance. Just before the botanic gardens there is Ventnor cricket club where you can enjoy some good quality local matches.
A little further afield you can find a bit more adventure with one of the two paragliding/hanggliding schools (Butterfly Paragliding) or if you are a qualified pilot already we can introduce you to the local club and show you the flying sites nearby.
There are lots of very good pubs and restaurants in Ventnor. We can particularly recommend Phileas Foggs Restaurant.
Lovely Steephill Cove, short walk along the seafront from Ventnor.
The famous Needles at the western end of the Isle of Wight seen from the viewpoint near the historic Rocket Testing site at Tennyson Down. Did you know that the Black Arrow launcher for Britain's first satellite, Prospero, was tested here? The satellite was launched in 1971 and is still in orbit now, 40 years later.

LE MARS, IA -- Wells' Dairy has changed its name to Wells Enterprises. The Wells organization produces Blue Bunny ice cream, a name well-known in the vending industry.
The name change reflects the company's new direction as a leading manufacturer of ice cream and frozen novelties.
Founded in 1913 and still family-owned, Wells divested itself of its fluid milk and cultured dairy businesses three years ago. Today, the city of Le Mars reports that more ice cream is produced there by a single company than in any other city in the world. This distinction was formally recognized in 1994 with the designation of Le Mars as "Ice Cream Capital of the World."
Wells Enterprises maintains a website at wellsenterprisesinc.com.

When Marcos García-Ojeda was a post-doctoral researcher at the Pasteur Institute in France, a friend told him that UC Merced was looking for stem cell biologists. García-Ojeda's work investigating how bone marrow stem cells become T cells and other blood cells turned out to be a perfect fit.
"We want to find out what signals cause a bone marrow stem cell to become a developed blood cell," he explained. "We think physical environment has something to do with it - when a stem cell is harbored in its niche, it receives chemical and other signals that cause it to remain a stem cell. When it moves away, it begins to differentiate."
The immunology focus of García-Ojeda's research is motivated by a phenomenon that shaped the thinking of many in his generation: the global HIV/AIDS epidemic. He hopes that someday, in addition to fighting HIV with anti-retroviral drugs, doctors will be able to strengthen the immune system using healthy cells created from blood marrow stem cells.
"When I was first interested in AIDS research there was a stigma attached, not just to the disease, but to researchers who worked on it," he said. "That's changed."
Life in Merced is a big adjustment after spending three years in Paris, but García-Ojeda knows California. He earned his Ph.D. at Stanford and his M.A. at UC Santa Cruz.
Although he just arrived at UC Merced in May 2006, he has already begun applying for grants to support his research. Like other stem cell scientists at UC Merced, he says the passage of Proposition 71 was a factor in his decision to come to California. He also appreciates the chance to be a part of the outstanding diversity found in UC Merced's faculty and student body and the potential of having a medical school associated with the university.
"A medical school or hospital would open up a whole new potential avenue of research," he said.

NEW YORK (Oct. 21)
A team of Israeli and Italian researchers has developed a technique that expands the donor pool for leukemia patients in need of bone marrow transplants.
The method, developed by scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and Perugia University in Italy for obtaining and treating bone marrow, eliminates the need to find a close donor- recipient match.
Leukemia — a group of cancer-like diseases of the blood cells affecting bone marrow and blood- forming tissues and organs — is generally treated with strong chemical and radiation therapies. Bone marrow transplantation, a painful procedure with a limited survival rate, is considered a last resort for terminal cases.
Until now, patients eligible for the radical therapy required a donor whose immune system matched theirs for six genetic markers — three from the father and three from the mother — to avoid rejection and other complications.
These restrictions meant that patients had to find matching donors among their siblings or among the general population, which is even rarer.
Global registries have increased the odds of finding a match, but Jews and members of some other ethnic groups often have a difficult time finding suitable matches among the databases' millions of names.
Since most patients have relatives who do not match on all six of the markers but who can serve as bone marrow donors using the new technique, "advances in this area will greatly increase the availability of transplants as curative therapy," professors Yair Reisner of the Weizman Institute and Massimo Martelli of Perugia University conclude in the Oct. 22 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
As a result of their work, patients can receive bone marrow transplants from donors matched along only three immunological markers, a partial match shared by parents and children.
Between siblings, there is a 75 percent chance of finding the vital correlation — and finding a partially compatible donor is also possible among extended family members, according to the Weizmann Institute.
Reisner sees big advantages with "mismatched" bone marrow transplants.
"When you don't have a donor, we can offer you something. You're not lost," he said in a telephone interview from Tel Aviv.
And for those waiting to locate an unrelated donor through a registry, he said, "we should be able to offer a solution immediately."
Bone marrow from unmatched donors carries the danger of triggering residual immunity in the recipient's blood that may reject the "foreign" marrow. In other cases, the transplanted marrow works against its host in a reverse- rejection.
The Reisner-Martelli method attempts to overcome this problem through "megadoses" of donated stem cells, which are obtained by injecting the donor with special hormones and collected through a process called leukapheresis.
Those cells are "cleaned" of their immune-system agents, giving them a decent chance of being accepted.
The new technique is already being implemented in hospitals in Israel, the United States, Germany and Austria.
Martelli and Reisner, whose collaboration dates to 1985, tracked the progress of 43 patients with acute forms of leukemia who received unmatched transplants between 1995 and 1997.
At the study's end, the Israeli-Italian team reported results comparable to the outcomes from perfectly matched transplants.
Sixteen of the patients — none of whom had responded to other therapies – – were free of the disease.
The remaining patients either relapsed or had died of the disease or complications from the treatment.
"It's not a home run," said Claudio Anasetti, the director of the Unrelated Donor Marrow Transplant Program at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, one of the world's foremost facilities. "But it's a big step towards how to get a transplant without too much toxicity."

"It is not enough to have altar girls, women readers or women as the president of caritas," he said.
Love (caritas—charity) is identified with justice; and the will, the goodwill, is love.
Loving-kindness (caritas, ) was not as yet ranked as a virtue.
Only the fides which is formed and completed in caritas is a virtue (Art. 5).
For the sake of thy charity, which is the head and the top of all the testaments, ut dicitur, caritas super exaltat omnia.
caritas, or charity, strikes another note—high price, and thus dearness.
But this rational love (amor) and charity (caritas), the theologic virtue, may meet.
For caritas is the informing principle of Faith, and the highest virtue of the grace-illumined will.
caritas is one of the theological virtues, and as such Thomas treats it.
caritas is set not in the appetitus sensitivus, but in the will.

Baker Hughes, a GE company, has a new site. Want to see how we're inventing smarter ways to bring energy to the world?
Our SFIB™ stress and failure of inclined boreholes software offers full 3D stress modeling for wellbore breakouts and tensile wall fractures. Forward modeling of inclined drilling-induced tensile wall fractures allows for assessment of the stress state around a wellbore. This also reveals tendency for compressive and tensile wellbore failure.
With SFIB software, you get down to uncommon and uncommonly profitable modeling detail. You can include thermal effects and account for rock strength anisotropy in weak bedding planes. Employ thermoporoelastic, poroelastic, and chemoporoelastic rock models for time-dependent effects on stability from mud-rock interactions.
Optimize well design and reservoir production
The software offers critical stress field knowledge, which is crucial for solving wellbore stability issues, optimizing hydraulic fracture design, and maximizing production. You can collaborate to design optimally stable wellbore trajectories and determine optimal mud weights. This prevents excessive and costly wellbore failures and sidetracks while eliminating intermediate casing strings. Drilling and reservoir engineers can use existing well data for future well design and optimizing reservoir production.
More effective early well planning, more comprehensive data usage, and powerful proprietary technology diminishes costly rig time and wasted efforts.
The quantitative risk assessment module presents success probability as a function of equivalent mud weight. The module shows which variables most impact risk, enabling the best possible business decisions for your reservoir.

Troubled former England star Paul Gascoigne has been charged with two counts of common assault following an incident at a railway station.
British Transport Police (BTP) on Sunday said the ex-footballer had also been charged with being drunk and disorderly.
A BTP spokesman said the charges against the 46-year-old related to an incident which occurred on July 4 at Stevenage rail station in Hertfordshire, north of London.
The former Newcastle United and Tottenham midfielder was arrested after officers were called to the station at about 2130GMT and was later released on police bail.
Reports at the time claimed Gascoigne's ex-wife Sheryl and a security guard at the railway station were the victims of the assault.
Confirming that Gascoigne has now been charged with three offences, Baljit Ubhey, the Chief Crown Prosecutor for Thames and Chiltern CPS, said: "Following a BTP investigation, a file was forwarded to us to consider whether any criminal charges could be brought against the 46-year-old man.
"Having carefully reviewed all of the available evidence, Thames and Chiltern CPS authorised officers from BTP to charge the man with common assault and being drunk and disorderly.
"The charges are in relation to an incident at Stevenage rail station on the evening of Thursday July 4. The decision to charge was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors."
Gascoigne, who received treatment for alcoholism in an American clinic earlier this year, has been bailed to appear before magistrates in Stevenage on August 5.
Earlier this year, Gascoigne said he wanted to "get back to reality" after the latest health scare in his battle with alcohol addiction.
He told ITV1's Daybreak in March: "I didn't ask to be an alcoholic, but I must admit I worked on it. I went to any lengths to get my drink, I'll go even further to stay sober."

Militia records are in separate archives by regiment in Kew.
They are original attestation/service documents and are in boxes
approximately by surname, but as they are frequently accessed by
researchers I advise you to search the whole box and the ones either
I found both my grandfather and his brother's records.
But you have to know the regiment.....i tookl an educated guess that
they would have attested in their local county militia....
The docs are, depending on the period quite informative....mine were mid
1880's and considted of a folded two page, double sided form. The front
page is the attestation, second page onwards give description of person,
nok, medical records and servive record of places served, and sdischarge
details with years service....these people qualified for a small pension
There is another archive for those receving a pension via Royal Chelsea
Hospital (The Irish are split out to Kilmainham hospital)but it is not
There is yet a further archive covering medical discharges to
1913....this is on microfilm and a real slog as it is filmed by date of
medical board.
The militia archives are not indexed on Procat by individual soldier's
names but by regiment.
The Chelsea and Kilmainham records are indexed by soldier's name on
The medical discharges to 1913 are not indexed by soldier's name in
Procat is the old name for the search engine for the National Archives.
The link to search the National archives is:
This is not a real friendly serach engine so little is a lot...main
thing is to set dept code to WO
This can be manipulated in several ways:
Search on surname and dept code WO
Search on place of birth or county of birth and dept code WO
So doing this you may get lucky with circa pre nid 1800's discharges to
pension as these are individually indexed by name but then of course the
army got so big and was being continually reorganised that the indexing
reverted to regiments only.
BTW Always check out the Documents online section of the Nat Archives at
Kew. This is continually expanding and has:
WW1 POWs, Royal Navy Seamen's documents, WW1 Medal cards, WW2 Seamen's
Medal cards, and a few other databases including PCC wills (these were
wills probated in Canterbury but cover wiltshire if the estate was large
enough or spanned more than one ecclesiastical court)
Documents from the documents on line section can be downloaded direct on
payment of around £3.75 per shot as pdf documents.

Baroque church
The church, which was built at the same time as the convent, is primarily Baroque in style, although it has undergone several modifications.
It is the only building from the old Santo Domingo convent that still retains its original configuration. It was begun in 1592 and was not completed until over a century later. There is a single nave, 31 m long, and five lateral chapels on each side. The high altar is presided by a Baroque Genovese reredos. In 1730, the church underwent important modifications following the explosion of the Santa Llúcia gunpowder store. The most important are the three Valencia-style tile covered domes that tope the chapels of Sant Antoni, la Purísima and Del Roser. Several fires have ruined most of its artistic value (mural paintings and images). It houses the Sant Pere Apòstol parish church since 1928.

Penguins defenseman Lovejoy returns early from knee surgery
The Penguins welcomed back defenseman Ben Lovejoy just two weeks after knee surgery. He was inserted into the Game 1 lineup Wednesday after Matt Niskanen didn't participate in the morning skate because of an upper-body injury.
The original prognosis for Lovejoy's recovery was about a month.
"Before the surgery, I thought it would be longer," he said. "This is awesome."
Lovejoy worked with Deryk Engelland on the third defense pairing.
> > Philadelphia also welcomed back two regulars from injury, center Daniel Briere (bruised back) and defenseman Nicklas Grossman (upper body). Both missed the final three regular-season games because of hits by Penguins center Joe Vitale.
> > In his morning news conference, Penguins coach Dan Bylsma took umbrage at the notion name-calling between his team and the Flyers is a recent development.
"It's not like it just came out of the woodwork," he said. "Most of the nicknames for Sidney Crosby have originated out of Philly and their fans. It's not anything new. Frankly, the start of the series makes it go away. It's about playing hockey now. Name-calling fades."
> > Crosby summed up his stance on all the verbal jabs succinctly: "A lot of times you forget about that stuff. It's there in every playoff series. Maybe not to this extent, but nobody really remembers what's said. Everyone remembers who wins the series."
> > Left wing Matt Cooke had a slightly different take on Crosby's critics: "I'm not sure why anybody ever thinks it's a good idea to make him mad. Anytime it's happened before, he's gone out there and completely dominated games. Good on us if that's what happens."
> > Jaromir Jagr, 40, strongly suggested he'll return for another season, and it will be with the Flyers "if they'll have me back." Jagr had 19 goals and 35 assists in 73 games after three years in Russia.
"I know I'm going to play," he said. "I don't know where I'm going to play, but it doesn't matter because I love the game. Right now, I'm here and just want to get ready for playoffs."
