FORMER Ambleside May Queens and attendants took a nostalgic look back at what what was once a highlight of village life.
Old photographs of the celebrations belonging to Joan Newby, who has lived in the village all her life, went on display at a 'Crowning Glories' coffee morning in Ambleside Library.
Vera Newton, whose sister Barbara was also a May Queen, was among those sharing memories of the great day with Marjorie Herrington (nee Frost) who was Ambleside's very last May Queen in 1953.
"The May Queen would be about 15 years old, accompanied by two train and crown-bearers," recalled Ms Newby, 92.
"The coronation was held every year on a Friday in May in the Ambleside Assembly Rooms."
May Queens were not Ambleside's only 'crowning glory'. At one time, the village also crowned a Rose Queen to mark Queen Alexandra's Rose Day, introduced in 1912 to celebrate the golden jubilee of the Danish consort's arrival on British soil 50 years before. Ambleside's May Queens were usually associated with the local Merrylegs folk dancers.
"The May Queen celebration was organised by Miss Una Blezzard, a keen member of Merrylegs who also taught the children folk dancing, and Elsie Youdell was the pianist," said Ms Newby.

The new Queen and attendants would be photographed in the garden at Wraysholme, Millans Park.
Old photographs of Ambleside's Crowning Glories will be on display at Ambleside Library until mid-June, as part of Local History Month.
Ambleside Oral History archive also has interviews recounting May Queen celebrations, especially the memories of the late Mary Hallatsch (nee Boow) at www.aohg.org.uk

Toucher expands the concept of the iPhone AssistiveTouch with Touch, an adapted Android version of the well-known home addon. When it comes to save time, every idea is welcome, no matter where it was launched first. Toucher is a great idea that make us more efficient. Want to know more? Keep reading.
The idea is quite simple: a suspending point on your homescreen that displays a controls menu when touching it. Those controls are divided in four basic categories: "Lock" (lockscreen), "Favor" (quick access to your favorite apps), "Home" (back to the homescreen) and "Switch" (power controls menu: APN, brightness, flashlight, auto-rotate,etc.). The suspending point will be accessible from any app, app drawer or home screen. That's the whole point with this app.
One of its plus-points is theme switching. There are various themes to choose among. Themes don't change only the background color of the suspending menu. They completely change the appearance. Thus, if you install, for example, Windows Phone theme, the "drawer" displayed will reproduce Metro layout, quite faithfully.
If you like Android but you'd like to improve the way you access to your most used stuff, you should take a glance at this. Really useful.

Over the years I've grown accustomed to ever more bizarre social work stories surfacing in the media during 'silly season' and, every year, I'm used to the moral dilemma of whether we should even dignify them with a response, writes Nushra Mansuri, professional officer at the British Association of Social Workers.
But this year I have been caught unaware by two stories: a Channel 4 News report last Friday July 20 about organised networks helping families to flee UK social services, followed by yesterday's Sunday Morning Live, which asked, 'Should we take children away from problem families?'
We all know the child protection system is not infallible and that, sadly, there will be instances when professionals have made the wrong decisions, but surely we don't want to question whether protecting children is a legitimate role for the state?
The first report revealed how some families involved with child protection services in the UK are being helped to flee abroad by apparently well organised and established networks. These networks do not accept the legitimacy of family courts and social services to intervene in the lives of children where neglect and emotional abuse are suspected.
Ian Josephs, an 80-year-old UK businessman who helps finance some of the families to 'escape', almost came across as a 21st century philanthropist doing his bit for vulnerable families. Worse still, they also laid claim to having a 'screening service', which included 'background checks' on a family. I am sure this is not what David Cameron meant when he unveiled his vision of the 'big society'.
Nevertheless, when a member of parliament – in this case John Hemming – is on camera confirming the view that family courts can't be trusted, and saying he's also been supporting families in their endeavours to leave the UK, it adds credibility to these networks. And, in contrast, it undermines the work of all child protection professionals.
While still in a state of semi disbelief from the Channel 4 News programme, I was further affronted on Sunday by a panel of experts debating whether social services should remove children from 'problem' families. (This was a bit of a double whammy as I strongly disagree with the term 'problem families'; it tends to pathologise certain individuals and is, in my view, very ideologically driven.)
However, when we are talking about children subject to familial abuse, I would beg to differ with some members of the panel and respectfully ask if these children have a right to life. Surely this is still sacrosanct, otherwise we might as well rip up the Children Act 1989, and all that followed, and withdraw from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
For me, both reports highlight the critical importance of social work having a voice and being able to articulate it. Attacks on the profession aren't going to go away and we need to be able to start a dialogue with a whole range of people to get our message across. So don't just get angry – get writing, typing, blogging, lobbying, posting, tweeting and broadcasting so that we are a significant and vocal (albeit minority) voice in these debates.

How do I get the name of a Form?
I looked in the HTML manual, and it is unclear - to me - if there is a currently supported attribute.
The Manual mentions something about using "ID"...
I want the name of each Form in my website, so I can use that to name a $_SESSION variable.
You can retrieve it like any other form variable using $POST or $GET.
It's usually only needed if you are processing multiple forms on the same page. In that case, you only need to check isset($_POST['myform']).
Hang on. You're telling me to look in $_POST - which is what I would have expected - but that still doesn't tell me how my Form gets a name and what that name is?!
You have to assign it as an attribute in your HTML first.
<form name="myform" method="post">
<!-- other stuff here -->
echo 'myform was submitted.';
Does that actually work?
When added name='createAccount' to my Form, and then I echoed the $_POST array, name was no where to be seen!!
Based on what I have researched, name does not get carried over in the $_POST array and is a throwback to older code.
Doesn't seem like your code can work.
(BTW, I think I figured a workaround. I just need to unset($SESSION['formtoken']) AFTER my script has successfully validated all Form data. That way, the Form doesn't need to get reloaded, and a NULL form_token seems to be okay.)
Hm, it looks like I was mistaken.
The only other alternatives would be to create a hidden field within the form to identify it, or go by the name of the submit button.
The name attribute on forms is not actually used for anything (except for antiquated JavaScript).
Where you have the same form being submitted for different purposes or different forms being submitted to the same process you need to distinguish between them by the name on the submit button fields. To handle the bug in some IE versions where the submit button name doesn't get passed when the form is submitted using enter it is always the first submit button that gets triggered in that situation so no value passed for the submit button can be treated the same as the value of the first submit button.

text: Hey guys, I have a set of 17" Evo 5 Sport Mille Miglia rims for sale. They came off a 1997 Bmw z3 they are a 17x8 with a 5x120 bolt pattern with a positive 40 offset. They have Bridgestone Potenza RE 730 tires on them that are in really good shape. I never drove with them on my car much, but they have great traction and I would say they have around 80% tread left. The Fronts are 225/45'zr17's on the front and 245/40zr17's on the back. They are bigger 45's in the front so that they dont look smaller and out of place next to the 245's in the back, but they still have a good staggered look. These are great rims but I will be honest and say they have a little bit of curb rash on 1 or 2 of the rims, but it really isn't that noticeable unless you pay attention and spot it out. I have seen others having these same rims but with different tires trying to sell them from 650 up to 1000 bucks and I think thats a little ridiculous. Unfortunately I don't have my beemer anymore so they are no good to me so I was thinking letting them go closer to $350-$400. $350-without shipping charges $400-shipping included. I am also free to offers. My name is Kc and you can e-mail me at email@example.com but I dont check my e-mail often or a better way to contact me would be (405) 618-7091.These are pictures of wheels that are identical to mine but these are not mine, sorry I dont have any at hand but if you contact me I would be glad to send detailed pics of the rims. Again open to any offers. Thanks

After about eighty-five minutes of discussion in two different increments, the Milaca School Board approved a change for a college writing class on a 5-2 vote at its April 17 meeting.
The change for the class, called a College in the Schools writing class that is taught by veteran English teacher Audrey French, will now allow time for conferences with individual students.
Board members Mark Herzing and Todd Quaintance repeatedly expressed reservations about the change during the meeting and both ended up voting against the motion to approve the change
There was discussion about the change early in the meeting, with French and Mora High School teacher Julia Blenkush, who runs a similar class there, telling board members what they thought the advantages of changing the program would be.
That discussion went for about 50 minutes and then the subject came up later on the agenda before the vote on a motion.
Included in the motion was approval of the schedule change with an off-campus component that will allow participating students to not be at school, if they choose, during the conference time for other students.
Quaintance asked about conferences in either first hour (beginning of the school day) or seventh hour (end of the day. He said he didn't like the off-campus part of the proposal.
Herzing asked if it was fair to all students to allow such a thing, saying he was concerned about safety of students and about attendance.
Quaintance and Herzing kept repeating their concerns and finally board chair Jeff Larson asked Superintendent Jerry Hansen what his concerns were about the proposal.
"Very little to none," Hansen answered. "What I've heard from Mora is nothing but positive."

Otley's director of rugby Tom Rock has announced this week that he is leaving his post to start a new career in the RAF.
And already the Cross Green club have installed former Bradford Bulls chief executive Ryan Duckett as his interim replacement.
A former player with the club, 37-year-old Duckett, returns to Otley after playing for their neighbours Ilkley this season.
Rock's brother Andrew, who works at Prince Henry's Grammar School, will assist the coaching team which also includes Mark Luffman and Neil Hargreaves.
Otley have made good progress under Tom Rock's guidance and are fifth in National League Two North.
He said: "It is going to be hard leaving now as the club is making good progress on and off the field.
"Times were hard when I came to the club 18 months ago, but now the outlook is great."
He added: "I have been fortunate to receive help from a lot of people, but I shall be keeping an eye on how the club gets on. I hope I might play again in the future."
Rock, 28, who is joining the RAF officer training school at Cranwell in January, is delighted Duckett is taking on the role of interim director of rugby.
"He has a lot of experience of playing at National League level and possesses administrative skills which he brings to the post," he said.
Duckett is looking forward to the challenge of his new role but is quick to stress it is an interim appointment as he is looking to get back into full-time sports management.
He said: "Otley is a club I know well having had two spells there as a player. I have many friends at Cross Green."
He also revealed that he was sorry to be leaving Ilkley.
"Ilkley is a great club with some super people," said Duckett. "I have really enjoyed my time there and I wish them well as they bid to win promotion from Yorkshire Division One."
Ilkley coach Rhys Morgan said: "I am sorry to see Ryan go because he has done a good job for us on the field this season.
"This is a great opportunity for him and we all wish him well."

Well, they do now, and I don't suppose we are more tolerant of either standing and/or having to concentrate than Elizabethans were.

But would they have stood that long to hear a total entertainment in which the play was sandwiched between pre-play juggling, singing, etc. and a post-play jig? If so, it would have been fairly easy to adjust the lengths of the pre- and post-play entertainments to accommodate shorter or longer plays, as Mike Hirrell persuasively suggests in his groundbreaking SQ article.

I guess I was revealing my Presentist leanings: I probably should have written that I cannot stand for a four hour play (or three or two or one, for that matter).
William's and Larry's and Steve's points noted. I might add, with no hope of generating controversy, that Elizabethans were perhaps more able to concentrate after listening to extremely long sermons.

I began the exam, which I'm willing to continue. Steven observed,
>>> . . . it is reasoned that the radically shorter . . . "bad" quarto
>>> versions of plays such as Romeo & Juliet . . . represent texts
>>> somehow derived from the supposedly cut down "originals"

I still say "there can be no real doubt that the corrupt texts derive from plays nearer to the better texts." Chambers observes of R&J, "Q1 is certainly a 'reported' text, and its derivation from an original more closely resembling Q2 is apparent" (v.1, 341). I'm sorry Chambers is using a debater's trick. I fell for it, thinking he was stating an opinion that I had come to myself.
Q2 R&etc. is better in most respects. The question for me is not whether Q1 is shorter, but where it comes from. Chances are, the good text is also the 'good' length because it is nearer the 'original.' When Steven speaks of texts "somehow derived from the supposedly cut down 'originals' . . ." he implies (and now repeats) that bad texts may not derive from demonstrably better texts. But they obviously are derivative—not independent. Steven's arguments from earlier years champion the bad texts, despite the evidence in each case. His 'length' essay seems meant to support his early theme. I can cite evidence in support of Chambers.

Structure and patterns are largely irrelevant to the 'memorial' question, which comes first.

I am myself certain of the memorial reporting.

Steven confuses the issues here. All is hypothetical to some extent, of course. I don't believe any of the bad quartos derive from 'dictation' per se, which implies a voluntary (if paid-for), non-performance, whole-cast reprisal before a stenographer—with no help in transcription. McMillin and others favor that source largely because shorthand was dismissed as a method of transmission.
Memory plays a role, by definition, in any form of memorial reporting. A shorthand report necessarily depends on actors' memories. The key is the availability of written text from an unbroken series of transcriptions deriving from authorial copy. Any transmission not in reference to copy is memorial.

The memorial gist of Q1's prologue corroborates the rest of the play. The whole case, easy as pie, nevertheless requires citation from earlier studies. Most current views are clouded by Laurie Maguire's "not MR" assessment. But if her misinterpretation of the evidence is corrected in reference to shorthand theory, former scholarship is vindicated.

Transcription error can't account for Q1 R&J.

I don't think the bad quarto in this case is a memorial reconstruction; it's a theatrical report of a play long in repertory. The players could do it in their sleep; and they did.

Q2 didn't exist. If Q1 is a report it was played pretty much as is. The shorter text is not imaginary and not transcription.

To criticize a practitioner is not necessarily to "swing at." The option is to let faulty work pass as good.

Every publication invites criticism. Dramatists is often poorly executed, not least in its study of The Captives. For example, in describing its first page, Ioppolo asserts that Heywood "has made a few currente calamo changes . . . . These are most noticeable . . . [in] the crossed-out line 'ffor instanns, who so ffond'. . . . He has made some major cuts . . . by simply drawing a vertical line close against the margin . . . . These deletions are also currente calamo . . ." (98).
Arthur Brown (MSR) observes that [Heywood's] hand appears to have gone through the play a second time making further alterations and marking passages for omission in a different ink [Ink 2]" (vi). Of the first page, Fol. 52a, referring to the same deletions as Iopollo, Brown notes that the "deletion here ['for instance'], the cancellation of 11-34, the deletion of yet and the insertion of all are in Ink 2" (1).
A different ink "going through a second time" is never currente calamo. Iopollo makes no mention of Ink 2 (other than to suggest Heywood later added a second deletion line). But almost all of Heywood's alterations throughout the play are in Ink 2, including deletions of hundreds of lines. Otherwise, the authorial manuscript is remarkably clean—so clean that it cannot support claims—the only claims that matter—that foul papers cause the numerous corruptions of the Shakespeare canon.
Heywood adjusted his text first time round (and second time round), as any author might in any case, but I agree with Honigmann that the ms. is fair copy. Iopollo's assessment depends on her mistaken description. There's no dispute about this: "If Heywood is fair copying here, rather than composing in foul papers, his deletions are early enough in the text that he could easily have abandoned this sheet and started over . . . . Instead he marks the cuts . . . showing that he is still engaged in the act of composition". The large deletion on the first page occurs after the whole text was put to paper. Starting over was not an option.
What must really be happening is that Heywood and a players' rep are cutting the play together after it was finished. Iopollo agrees the hand behind "Ink 3" is a theatrical figure, but she asserts his "only substantive changes to dialogue and content are his cutting of two minor characters and their speeches in one scene" (113). But Ink 3 deletes at least fifty lines elsewhere, sometimes extending Heywood's cuts.
This is not "valid work"; it is mistaken and conclusions drawn from it are also faulty. Anyone depending on her report of Heywood's play will be misled. I spoke more of this in 2008. Another practitioner's work is on the horizon, however; more may be said of this play in Paul Werstine's latest treatise on a number of manuscripts. In other words, calling for ridicule (speaking of debating tactics!) may not end discussion. I would even like to see it continued here.

Subject: Urk, yet again
Steve Roth would like to rescue some greater flexibility about shortened plays. First off, I'd like to get some number attached to the idea of how often anyone mentions two hours as the length of a play. Is it ten? A hundred? Help!
Next, it would be so simple if only the changes between long and short texts dealt primarily or even secondarily with length. That's the red herring that leads speculation away from the CONTENT of the textual variants, especially in the radically-variant Shakespearean quartos and folios.
The Padua Promptbooks show how a company interested in reducing playing time would go about cutting to reduce length, but those don't at all resemble the quarto and folio variants found in Shakespearean texts.
Right now there's this heavy stress on a hypothetical urgency to cut a play down to two hours. But if you're trying to reduce a play, then to my mind there's no reason to bring in changes of characterization, plotting, or relationship to sources, especially where many of those changes don't reduce the play's length. Those other textual changes that do not reduce length have traditionally been ascribed to various sources of transmissional error—forgetful or extemporizing actors, sloppy scribes, and (why not?) stenographers juggling imprecise coding technologies.
(I'm skipping over the problems of the publication of these supposedly post-composition versions prior to publication of the longer "original" texts, as well as the corollary problems of the publication of full-length or "good" quartos, their somehow still-undiscovered shortened-to-two-hours versions, and those multiple texts like Richard III and Othello where we find two overly long versions somehow emerging into print. )
For a number of years I've been showing how the largest portion of these so-called transmissional errors can be maintained as errors only by the theatrically-tone-deaf and creative-process-blind defenders of a fantasy of Authorial Abstinence, "Just Say No to Revision."
Okay. So my rhetoric is getting away from me, and I shouldn't even imply that my immensely kind and supportive friends and mentors who happen to feel that Shakespeare wasn't responsible for the most interesting textual variants we find are in any way blind or deaf. But . . . . but . . . . but . . . . let me give you a f"r'instance. You can check it out yourself.
Among the Duke of York's sons, in the 1595 Octavo text on a number of occasions Richard is set out only as equal to his brothers, but in the Folio he is instead singled out as being more energetic, brave and aggressive than his brothers. I'll give two instances: At the grisly moment in the opening scene when Richard trumps his brothers shows of martial prowess by holding up the head of Somerset, the dialog runs, "Rich. Speake thou for me and tell them what I did." and poppa says, "What is your grace dead my L. of Summerset?" In the Folio, York's line reads, "Richard hath best deserv'd of all my sonnes. / But is your Grace dead . . . " A few scenes later, York in the Octavo reports:
Three times this daie came Richard to my sight,
And cried courage father: Victorie or death.
And twise so oft came Edward to my view,
With purple Faulchen painted to the hilts,
In bloud of those whom he had slaughtered.
A brave Richard, but a twice-as-brave Edward. But in the Folio, the equivalent of the third line above reads, "And full as oft came Edward." Richard in this text rallied his father just as often as did his elder brother. And in lines only found in the Folio, York continues:
And when the hardyest Warriors did retyre,
Richard cry'de Charge, and give no foot of ground,
And cry'de, A Crowne, or else a glorious Tombe,
A scepter, or an Earthly Sepulchre.
In these examples, the Folio text highlights Richard. I'll stop here with the suggestion that you look for more of these kinds of variants yourself.
If we wish to cling to the idea that the shorter versions were derived from the pre-existing longer ones, and were cut for primarily theatrical rather than literary values, then we have to conclude that some agency carefully leveled Richard's character for the performances which were then memorially or stenographically or minimally or collectively transcribed into whatever was used as the copy for the Octavo. But then they may have been slipped back in on occasion? Yikes! Maybe Lukas Erne and Stephen Orgel and Andrew Gurr and Gerald Downs can believe that the Shakespeare and his actors or the pirates or the stenographers would do that. I can't. Maybe because I've made so many more blunders in my life than most people, I have a different "feel" than these guys about what an error looks like.
Here's an alternative hypothesis: Suppose that Shakespeare wrote the form of the play underlying the Octavo. And then in the fullness of time—say as long as it took him to write his way to the end of that manuscript, or maybe after that Octavo form may even have been played by a company of actors—suppose further that he developed the idea that the NEXT play he'd work on would feature Richard. Then suppose that he had the opportunity (because of changes in personnel, in the ownership of texts, or entering into new venues, or his own relationship to the transforming acting company at hand) to go back to revise and add to that script underlying the Octavo. " Hmmmm," Bard wonders, "How can I beef up Richard's part, prepping the audience for this upcoming play? " And so we find those purposeful and detailed changes from what was first inscribed for the version underlying the Octavo appearing in the Folio.
Thought is free. Evidence is golden.
Look at the texts.
p.s. I'm sorry, Gerald Downs, but I went through Stone's book when it came out. I thought he was blowing smoke back then. I'm having too much fun doing things other than extricating coherence from those flabby books.
p.p.s. Hardy Cook questions the willingness of people to stand for the four hours or more that an afternoon in the theater seems to have called for. Well, in a not-so-sedentary age, many people (even of high rank like Elizabeth's courtiers) did a lot of standing. I built myself a stand-up desk, and I clock that length of time on my feet most days. My dad was a letter carrier, did that much and more standing and walking for more than fifty years. And people waiting to vote in Florida last week. And in the London Globe, as I recall, there's a lot of milling around comes with admission to the yard to ease stiffening legs (at least before the recent reconfiguration of the yard which seems to hold benches and a lot of extended stage platform and access stairs now; to me it looked that way in the "live" broadcasts of All's Well and Much Ado I saw in the last few weeks).

The expansion of nanotechnology has resulted in subsequent increased release of nanoparticles (NPs) into aquatic environments during the cycle of manufacturing, transportation, consumption, and disposal [
Heavy metals including Zn, Cd, Pb, Ni, Cu, and Co have adverse effects on the growth, cell division, photosynthesis, and destruction of primary metabolites in algae [
To further explore the mechanism of the synergistic toxicity of NPs and heavy metals to algae, we investigate how TiO2 NPS influence the bioavailability of heavy metal zinc (Zn). Zn is an essential component of various enzymes for algae, particularly those in photosynthetic electron transport. At elevated concentrations, Zn is toxic with its most toxic form Zn2+[
The objective of this study is to determine the synergistic toxicity of nano-TiO2 and Zn2+ on

The toxicity of nano-TiO2 to algae was reported by other researchers [
The synergistic toxic effect of Zn2+ and nano-TiO2 was examined using a fixed concentration of nanoparticles; the nano-TiO2 particles alone were not toxic at low concentrations from 1.0 to 10.0 mg/L.
Although Zn2+ at concentrations below 0.3 mg/L showed no significant toxic effects on
NPs in aquatic systems produced potential risks, not only from nano-particles, but also from their ability to accumulate and enhance the toxicity of these background contaminants. Nano-TiO2 alone at low concentrations (<10.0 mg/L) did not cause significant inhibitory effects. Thus, its fate and potential aquatic effects could be easily overlooked. However, low-concentration nano-TiO2 served as Zn2+ carriers and increased the total Zn2+ uptake by algae. Moreover, the concentrations of the NPs in the water body were always at the microgram level. The biomagnifications of NPs from lower trophic aquatic organisms to higher ones strengthened this risk [
Samples of
Nano-TiO2 particles (rutile form) 40 to 50 nm in diameter were purchased from Zhejiang Hongsheng Material Technology Co., China. The suspensions (1000 mg/L) were placed in an ultra-sound water bath (100 W, 40 kHz) for 30 min before being diluted to different exposure concentrations. Zeta potentials and particle sizes of nano-TiO2 were measured by a dynamic light scatting (DLS) size analyzer (Zetasizer Nano-ZS, Malvern, UK). Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images were taken using a JEOL SM4800 SEM. Suspensions of 1.0 and 10.0 mg/L nano-TiO2 were prepared by dilution in the culture medium. At 10 min intervals, the absorbance of nano-TiO2 suspension was measured using a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The settling behavior of the NPs was investigated by the reduction of absorbance over 600 min.
The interactions of Zn2+ with nano-TiO2 were studied by performing the traditional batch sorption experiment. A stock solution of Zn2+ was prepared by dissolving ZnSO4 into DI water. The solution was diluted into 125 mL flasks to serial concentrations of 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/L with 50 mL culture medium. The pH of the Zn2+ solutions was adjusted to 7.0 ± 0.1 using 0.01 M HCl or NaOH. The nano-TiO2 suspensions were diluted to a concentration of 10.0 ± 0.1 mg/L in each flask. The mixed suspensions were then shaken to achieve sorption equilibrium within 10 h. The mixed suspensions were centrifuged at 5000 rpm for 10 min.

We analyze geometry of the second order differential operators, having in mind applications to Batalin–Vilkovisky formalism in quantum field theory. As we show, an exhaustive picture can be obtained by considering pencils of differential operators acting on densities of all weights simultaneously. The algebra of densities, which we introduce here, has a natural invariant scalar product. Using it, we prove that there is a one-to-one correspondence between second-order operators in this algebra and the corresponding brackets. A bracket on densities incorporates a bracket on functions, an "upper connection" in the bundle of volume forms, and a term similar to the "Brans–Dicke field" of the Kaluza–Klein formalism. These results are valid for even operators on a usual manifold as well as for odd operators on a supermanifold. For an odd operator ∆ we show that conditions on the order of the operator ∆^2 give an hierarchy of properties such as flatness of the upper connection and the Batalin–Vilkovisky master equation. In particular, we obtain a complete description of generating operators for an arbitrary odd Poisson bracket.

R Hymes sighted in Arena league
Former Ravens WR Randy Hymes signed recently with the Cleveland Gladiators (fronted by Bernie Kosar).
During Monday night's game against the Orlando Predators Hymes went up for a pass and saw it intercepted in front of him. The miked-up Orlando coach (Jay Gruden, brother of Jon) observed 'he's a terrible route runner; they're just trying to throw a high ball'.
Later in the game Hymes made a special teams tackle, and caught a td on a neat slant route.
they had a bunch of people miked up, but results were mixed due to the strong language which, ahem, some athletes indulge in ("hey, watch the ---- --- over the middle, you ----, they been running that ---- all night."), so there was as much ---- as actual talk.
I think this was the first Cleveland pro football playoff win since the Schottenheimer era?"Nothing stops these Baltimore Ravens. Beat them, injure them, shove them to the bottom of the standings, drag them into a hostile environment and mount a big lead, and they just keep trudging forward like nothing fazes them."

Re: R Hymes sighted in Arena league
I saw that one handed leaping catch and thought, durn he looks pretty good on that.
Ravens didn't keep him around for a while because he didn't have some skill... just could never get the whole package he needed together. Maybe in the AFL he can showcase the areas he was good at and the deficiencies won't be as glaring.

Axl Rose Says Guns N' Roses Have Two New Albums Completed
The new issue of Revolver features an exclusive interview with Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose--you can read an extended excerpt right here. In the interview, Rose reveals that GN'R have two new records already completed, a remix album of songs from 2008's Chinese Democracy and what he calls "the second half of Chinese."
"We recorded a lot of things before Chinese was out," Rose says. "We've worked more on some of those things and we've written a few new things. But basically, we have what I call kind of the second half of Chinese. That's already recorded. And then we have a remix album made of the songs from Chinese. That's been done for a while, too. But after Vegas [Guns N' Roses is performing a residency at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino that runs through June 7], we're going to start looking very seriously at what we're doing in that regard."

As part of their Freeway series, Write Act Repertory is currently staging "All The Wrong Places," consisting of four one-acts all penned by Herman Poppe. There is a nice mixture of drama and comedy in the disparate pieces. Rebecca Lorenne and John Lant produce.
January's Ukelele, directed by Rebecca Lorenne, examines the aftermath of issues surrounding an abandoned baby in an unplanned pregnancy.
Moving to the lighter side, Testing the Spider provides some laughs and surprises as two current friends meet a blast from the past for one of them, but things are not exactly the same. Louise Kroot-Haukka directs.
The skit-like A Little Social Intercourse is a sexy, energetic, playful look at communication and relations under the direction of Dan Spurgeon.

DANGEROUS trees and 'exploding pavements' brought drama to Highcliffe yesterday.
Police were forced to close Lymington Road around noon after reports of an underground explosion near the Co-op store.
Witnesses reported a loud cracking noise before the pavement was pushed up.
Dorset Police said the incident was caused by flood water building up in a drain.
As a precautionary measure because of underground electricity cables in the area, engineers were forced to cut the power supply – a move that blacked out a number of local homes.
Meanwhile, as this drama unfolded a neighbouring road had to be closed to allow tree surgeons to safely remove two towering pines that were in danger of toppling in high winds.
A Dorset Police spokesman said: "The paving stones were pushed up because of pressure from a drain, due to all the extra water down there.
"The electricity company isolated the area where it happened as a precaution, and as a result some residents were without power."
The two 80ft pine trees were taken down in nearby Wharncliffe Road, causing the road, which had been on the diversionary route for traffic from Lymington Road, to also become temporarily blocked.
Roy Osborne, who owns the trees, said: "The trees were in danger of becoming unstable, what with the forecast of high winds, so I informed the police and spoke to a tree surgeon. The tree surgeon agreed and said they should be taken down straight away.
"These trees are between 70 and 80 feet and very much exposed to high winds on the cliff top.
"It was always a concern that if they fell, they would fall across the road. I was concerned there was a danger to life and limb.
"The main trunk will be taken down today, then the other trunk will be taken down during the week."

My daughter's name is Audrey Saison — both names are steeped in meaning for me and my husband, and both stem in part from my connection to my paternal grandparents, Kathy and Joe. Kathy passed away in 2010 and we lost Joe just 11 days before my daughter's birth.
One of the reasons Lucas and I kept coming back to Audrey as a name is that it was my grandmother's middle name. We didn't want our girl to be named for anyone, but since we really (really really) loved it, it was a nice side benefit. Every time I say my daughter's name, I think about how someday, I'll be able to tell her about the generations before her, and tell my Audrey what a brave and interesting woman her great-grandmother was.
(I'll wax poetic on Audrey's middle name some day because it has an even deeper connection with my emotions…tied in part to the life lost, life born experience I felt when my grandfather died…but that will be another post.)
When Joe died, my parents were tasked with the role of cleaning out their apartment (my parents now live in the coastal Maine house where Kathy and Joe spent years before moving to an assisted living home). They found years worth of things — furniture, dishes, trinkets, clothes…items that were near and dear to my grandparents but don't really have a place in our homes today.
So, my mother started sending us pictures and lists of things that we could choose to have, if we wanted. It's kind of a heartbreaking thing, having to say yes and no to things that my grandparents thought were important enough to keep, but which I don't have much sentimental attachment to.
Until I saw one thing on the list that I had to have. A giant stack of my grandmother's hand-written recipes.
Now, I'm not much of a cook. But I want to be. Especially now, because I can picture her sitting down to list out the ingredients and instructions. There are smudges and food stains on these index cards that I know are a result of her picking them up and putting them down through the cooking and baking processes, making sure that everything made it into the bowls.
There are sweet (brownies!) and savory recipes; plans for families big and small.
There are small cards and big cards and white cards and pink cards. They're in alphabetical order (so that's where I got my Type A personality!) and they smell faintly of aged paper and flour.
I'll never make everything off these recipes, but I'd love to have them some day for my daughter. I will show her the handwriting and tell her how Kathy and Joe always signed every card and letter with smiley faces. I will tell her about lobster dinners and lamb dinners and picking flowers for the table and arguing with my brother over who got to snuff out the candles when we were done eating. I'll describe the little kitchen where we drank freshly squeezed orange juice and popped pre-dinner popcorn when we visited my grandparents. I'll drink earl gray tea with her and share the tradition that my grandmother had with me — lots of milk and just a spot of tea.
Maybe my Audrey will see these cards and roll her eyes. "Mooooooom, I have to read these? Why didn't she just use her iPad? And lamb is gross."
That's fine. Because someday, she'll be glad I kept these.

(CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama said his administration is taking a "very close look" at Arizona's new anti-illegal immigration law, examining it for any "implications, especially for civil rights."
"I want everyone, American and Mexican, to know my administration is taking a very close look at the Arizona law," said President Obama during a press conference on Wednesday with Mexican President Felipe Calderon.
"We're examining any implications, especially for civil rights," said Obama. "Because in the United States of America, no law-abiding person – be they an American citizen, a legal immigrant, or a visitor or tourist from Mexico – should ever be subject to suspicion simply because of what they look like."
Several top administration officials, who have criticized the law on television and before Congress, admitted they have not either read the law or studied it in detail.
For example, on May 17, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) asked Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, former governor of Arizona, about the law during a hearing about the Gulf Coast oil spill, saying, "Have you had a chance to review the new law that was passed by the state of Arizona?"
"I have not reviewed it in detail, I certainly know of it, senator," said Napolitano.
Napolitano also said, "That's not the kind of law I would have signed."
On May 13, Attorney General Eric Holder said he had not "read" the law but went on to criticize it. He told the House Judiciary Committee that he had "expressed concerns" about the Arizona law, "on the basis of what I've heard about the law" from newspaper and TV reports.
Holder has also questioned the constitutionality of the law and has said the federal government may challenge it in court.
"I've just expressed concerns on the basis of what I've heard about the law," Holder told the House Judiciary Committee. "But I'm not in a position to say at this point, not having read the law, not having had the chance to interact with people [who] are doing the review, exactly what my position is."
Phillip J. Crowley, assistant secretary for public affairs in the State Department, also admitted that he has not read the law.
"Have I read the law? No," he said on May 18.
"You're talking about the context of this law and you haven't read it?" asked the Fox News reporter.
"I'm simply responding to a challenge that says that we at the Department of State were apologizing for America," said Crowley. "We were actually standing up to America by saying this is how we function in a civil society. This is how we function under the rule of law."
Crowley was defending Michael Posner, the assistant secretary of the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor at the State Department, for telling the Chinese Delegation during a meeting about human rights that the Arizona immigration law is an example of a "troubling trend in our society" and an indication of "discrimination or potential discrimination" in America.

Michelle Obama Declares It's Safe to Travel to Mexico
On her first solo foreign trip, First Lady Michelle Obama visited Mexico last week, kicking off an international tour in which she will be focusing on "engaging the world's youth in conjunction with [a] broader vision of global engagement," according to ABC.com.
After experiencing what she praised as rich culture, warm people, and great food, Obama was asked whether she thought Mexico was safe to travel to. Her response:
Our embassies are not discouraging American visitors. I think that they are encouraging them to be aware and to be smart as they travel…I would encourage any American to spend time here."
Obama flew into Mexico City, where she was greeted by the U.S. ambassador to Mexico Carlos Pascual, Mexican ambassador to the U.S. Arturo Sarukhan, and of course, dozens of children. While in Mexico City, she visited with children at the elementary school Escuela Siete de Enero, observed a youth performance at the National Museum of Anthropology which she toured with Mexico's First Lady Margarita Zavala, and delivered a speech addressing the importance of engaging communities through youth outreach.

Some small mining contractors could be facing a correction as their stocks hover close to more than one-year highs despite the earnings impact from the Queensland floods – prompting questions about whether the risks are adequately reflected in current market prices.
But quantifying the financial implications of a devastating weather event is tricky as no one can accurately forecast when mining operations in the state will resume, as estimates vary wildly from a few weeks to some months.
Many miners in the state have declared force majeure and UBS noted that water damage appears to be largely affecting direct mining operations.
Mining contractors are typically paid only when the mines are in production and when their equipment is being utilised.
This could be particularly bad news for investors in
The contract is worth around $30 million a year and, based on UBS's figures, that accounts for around 9 per cent of forecast revenue for 2010-11.
Merill Lynch also warned that Industrea is most at risk of the small cap mining services companies and Cockatoo Coal said it is premature to give a timetable on when operations will resume at the mine, although delays could last for weeks if not longer.
The stock has slipped in the last few days and was down 2.2 per cent to $1.32 this morning, but is still within shouting distance of last month's 15-month high of $1.50.
Credit Suisse has downgraded the stock to "neutral" on Friday but Merill Lynch has reiterated its "buy" recommendation for now as it is anticipating only a 10 per cent impact on earnings and has lowered its price target by an equivalent amount to $1.56 a share.
But the impact could be even smaller than that. A spokesperson for Industrea told the Austrealian Financial Review that half the 2010-11 earnings from the project has already been booked.
Shares in earthmoving equipment company
While some experts believe the wet weather will have little to no impact on the stock, the risk-reward balance appears to be tilted somewhat to the downside as the current share price doesn't leave much elbow room for error, given it is less than 5 per cent under the average broker price target of $1.10 a share.
The stock is also on a one-year forward price-earnings of around 10 times, which some believe is fair value because it is hard to forecast earnings more than two years out for such contractors.
On the upside, Emeco's management reassured investors in November last year that the wet weather in Queensland was having little impact on earnings.
UBS estimates that around close to 24 per cent of its fleet value is based in that state and around 45 per cent of its 2009-10 revenue comes from the coal industry.
Emeco was trading flat at $1.045 this morning.
But like Emeco, its current share price doesn't leave much room for disappointment and it is difficult to predict how difficult site access will become once the water recedes as many roads and bridges have been damaged by the deluge.
Site access is probably the biggest risk factor facing mining contractors due to the time it could take to repair damaged infrastructure.
The stock was trading flat this morning at $1.52, or 7.9 per cent under last month's record high of $1.65. This puts the stock on a one-year forward P/E of around 10 times.
However, activity has not come to a complete halt in the midst of this disaster. Western Australia-based mining and civil engineering contractor
This is the company's first significant project in the eastern state and the news sent its shares jumping 1.4 per cent to $2.24 this morning – 1¢ below last month's 28-month high.

Sacred Heart fish fry has fed locals for more than 20 years
The annual fish fry at Sacred Heart School in Jeannette has spanned 23 years, beginning in 1991, and continues to flourish through this Lenten season.
Originally organized by Kathy and Ron Dinsmore, it has about 50 to 60 volunteers a week, some as young as 10 and as seasoned as 91.
"It's a family thing," says Kathy Goodall, facilities manager at Sacred Heart Church. "We have a lot of family members. It wasn't always like that. We also see familiar faces that don't belong to our churches."
Goodall invites anyone of any faith to attend.
With the assistance of these volunteers, patrons can enjoy a variety of Lenten-approved items without waiting for long.
"We have a nice, manageable evening," Goodall said.
"People don't have to wait. We used to have lines out the door."
Even with the school closing in 1995, the event went back to being run by members of the parish council, and Goodall and Mary Jo Brecht have run it since 1998.
In 2003, the cafeteria was made handicapped accessible.
The fry averages 250 eat-in dinners and 100 take-out dinners each week in a three-hour time period.
In addition to the food choices offered at the fry, there is an Easter craft raffle every week, with hand-crafted items donated by parishioners and non-parishioners alike.
Tickets are three for $1.
The raffle started with a wooden bunny and cart filled with candy that was made every year by Ray Wtorkowski until his death in 2007, and now averages 25-30 craft items a year.
A 50/50 drawing is held each Friday night at the price of three for $1.
This year, Sacred Heart anniversary T-shirts are available for purchase, as well as Cat's Meow replicas of the Sacred Heart School building for $20 and Sacred Heart candles for $10.
As always, volunteers are encouraged to join.
Kids as young as fourth-graders, under the supervision of their parents, can assist serving the dessert to patrons in the cafeteria, and in sixth grade, they can serve dinners. Others are needed to assist in serving coffee and assisting with clean up.
The menu for this year includes baked and fried fish, shrimp or crab cakes with fries or pierogies for $7.50 and baked or fried fish sandwiches for $5.50.
A la carte items include six-piece shrimp or two crab cakes for $5.50, fries for $2, or $2.50 with cheese, three pierogies for $2 and coleslaw or applesauce for $1.
Meatless pizza is $7 for a whole pizza or $1 a slice.
Pop and bottled water are available and a variety of desserts are available for $1 each.
The fish fry is held Fridays through Lent from 4-7 p.m. in the cafeteria at Sacred Heart on North Seventh Street. The fry is open Good Friday.
Call 724-527-9940 for take-out orders beginning at 2 p.m. Fridays and meals are available for pickup after 4.

First Deus Ex 3 Details Emerge 157
Ostracus writes "Deus Ex 3, the third entry in the influential FPS/RPG series, was confirmed to be in development by Eidos Montreal nearly a year ago — and now the first solid details on the game have finally emerged. UK magazine PC Zone has a cover story on Deus Ex 3 for their 200th issue (which has reportedly just begun reaching subscribers), and CVG has relayed a number of interesting tidbits from the preview: '... this time around combat won't be influenced by stats, but will rely purely on your personal marksmanship skills. Instead stats will influence "a vast array of fully upgradeable and customisable weapons," and you'll be able to tailor your arsenal to your play style with mag upgrades, scopes and other add-ons. What's more, stealth will now rely on a cover system rather than shadows, and damage will be dealt with by a very Call of Duty-style auto-heal.'"

I've been attempting to get an Apple Mac (OS X, 10.4.8), when connected

as to why it is getting blocked. Oh yes, and all the firewalls have

Am I doing something wrong? Any help appreciated.

Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase: Inhibition in ducks dosed with lead shot

AbstractLead concentration in blood and erythrocyte delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALAD) activity was measured in mallard ducks dosed with one all-lead shot or one lead-iron combination shot. For 2 weeks after dosage, lead in blood of ducks given an all-lead shot was fourfold higher than in those dosed with lead-iron shot. At 3 and 4 weeks, the differences in lead residues were directly proportional to lead content of the shots. ALAD activities measured at these intervals were inversely correlated (P < 0.01) with the concentration of lead in the blood, suggesting that biochemical responses to the two types of shot were dependent upon the quantity of lead present.

Do you want to make Ohio.com your homepage?
Thank you for checking out the Car Chase blog. This blog is no longer being supported, updated and available on Ohio.com. And has been discontinued.
You will be redirected in 10 seconds...
Perfect weather made for the largest crowds ever. Organizers are estimating that nearly 25% more spectators attended the concours on Sunday than last year. Unlike other major automotive events that I have attended this year, a large part of the crowd was made up of families. Features such as Chef Brendan Meeker's cooking demonstrations, the scale model display and kids' "build and take" corner and the Summit Racing sponsored Glenmoor Garage were filled with active participants both young and old, male and female all day long.
Not that anyone has anything against Edsels. As a matter of fact, they were actually very good cars that were victimized by some of the worst marketing decisions in automotive history. The reason is, despite one of the events main features being "The Cars of Edsel Ford", he had nothing to do with the Edsel. In fact, he died fifteen years before the Edsel automobile was conceptualized and produced.
As in previous years, the nice people at the Glenmoor Gathering have given us a limited quantity of tickets to share with our readers/commenters at no charge. To receive your complimentary ticket (normal price $20) to this great event, just contact Tabetha Salsbury at 330-966-3600 or firstname.lastname@example.com and mention the Car Chase blog. The first eight people to contact her will receive one free ticket for the concours to be held on Sunday, September 20!

ROME – Silvio Berlusconi's acquittal in a high-profile sex-for-hire case has boosted the former Italian prime minister's determination to revive his political career, despite his growing isolation in the corridors of power.
The 77-year-old's conviction to seven years in jail for paying for sex with an underage prostitute known as "Ruby the Heart Stealer," whose real name is Karima El-Mahroug, was overturned by an appeals court on Friday.
The media magnate is now rumored to be attempting to rekindle relations with his former right-hand man and prodigy, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano, who broke ties in November to set up his own party, the New Center Right (NCD).
"In a certain sense Berlusconi has never been out of the game. He's always been an important player able to pull in millions of votes," political scientist Roberto D'Alimonte told reporters.
A friendship deal would boost the right wing — which fared badly in the European elections — and possibly help put Berlusconi back on the political map following a series of legal scandals which saw him ousted from parliament last year.
The two men, who have not been on speaking terms for months, were reported by Italian media on Monday to have had a lengthy conversion about healing the rifts between the NCD and Berlusconi's center-right Forza Italia ("Go Italy!") party.
"Let's end the fighting, the Italians are tired. Let's work to bring the moderates together," the billionaire is reported to have said to Alfano, who is considered a traitor by many of Berlusconi's fiercest supporters.
The 43-year-old is said to have pledged his undivided loyalty in return.
The small NDC is a key ally in Prime Minister Matteo Renzi's coalition government and holds three important ministries — interior, transport and health — but only managed to win just under 4 percent at the EU elections.
The center-right in general suffered, with a beleaguered Forza Italia pocketing just 16.8 percent of the vote, while Renzi's center-left Democratic Party (PD) scored a stunning win over the Euroskeptic right with 40.8 percent.
Though Berlusconi has kept a low public profile while carrying out community service for tax fraud, he has been deliberating over the creation of a new "federation of parties" on the right, built around Forza Italia and NCD.
"With the acquittal in the Ruby case, we've now moved from the theoretical to the practical," Italy's best-selling Corriere della Sera daily said.
All right-wing parties — including the anti-immigration Northern League and Fratelli d'Italia ("Brothers of Italy") — will be consulted on the federation, a "declaration of intent" will be signed and a program established, it said.
The aim is to hold primaries in time for regional elections later in the year and pick a candidate to become leader of the opposition and eventually run against the young and charismatic Renzi at the next general elections in 2018.
Berlusconi and Alfano are expected to hold a working lunch on the subject this week — though the latter is determined not to relinquish the NDC's goals.
"Either Forza Italia wants to join us in creating a large, popular and European alliance, or it wants to play footsie with the racist and anti-European extreme right," he told the Messaggero daily in an interview on Sunday.
"We are not asking for an act of generosity. We are asking for a clear political line which is compatible with ours," he said.
Political expert Gianfranco Pasquino at Johns Hopkins School in Bologna said he doubted Berlusconi would be able to revive his career with a last-ditch attempt to unite the right and bring Alfano back into his inner circle.
"The split with Berlusconi is too serious. If Alfano wanted to come back to Forza Italia he would have to have to fight those who don't want him. The right is seriously fragmented," he said.
"Renzi is enjoying an extraordinary moment and there's nothing Berlusconi can do about it," the professor said, adding that the center-left "looks like it will be in power for a long time."
And D'Alimonte agrees: "The Berlusconi period is coming to an end. We're at the end of the day — it's a drawn-out end, but it's an end nonetheless."
According to Pasquino, the man who dominated the political scene for the past two decades "is over and has no chance of dominating the political scene again."
The center-right would be best advised to pick a fresh-faced leader with no connections to the aging magnate, who still has several legal issues pending — including a trial for bribing a senator — and may yet see the sex-case return to haunt him in Italy's highest court, he added.

My attendance at the Blog Brûlée was partially funded by Sponsors of the Blog Brûlée, and I received a discounted registration to the event in exchange for writing this post. Opinions expressed are my own. I was not compensated for my time.
Ten days ago, I hopped a plane to Boston, rented a car, and drove much farther than I anticipated, to Smuggler's Notch Resort in northern Vermont, where I joined 18 other, creative, smart and talented healthy food bloggers at Blog Brûlée. The intimate and experiential blogging conference was started last year, by 4 registered dietitians who work as food bloggers, food communications experts and owners of amazing companies that do amazing things, like work with some of the top healthy food brands around to create recipes and help market their products, publish nutrition and food-related articles all over the place, and run a pretty darn successful healthy food photo sharing website.
