In June every year, my partner, Andrew, and I go to northern Ontario to open his family cottage. But until last year, this annual rite was inevitably bittersweet, for the trip always served as a reminder of another holiday home -- the safari lodge that my father had built in the jungles of Sri Lanka, and where I spent my childhood vacations.
On the way to the cottage last year, as we drove past fields of tall grass that rippled silver in the wind, I gazed out, lost in the memory of traveling to the lodge in my father's open jeep, past green paddies in which women wearing white blouses and colorful sarongs stood ankle-deep in the mud, tending their crop. As our car entered a copse of aspen and birch, the wind turned into a soft, ocean-like roar -- and I was back in that jeep, passing miles and miles of white sand and turquoise ocean. When Andrew and I crossed a dry, scrubby landscape, I thought of the Dry Zone of Sri Lanka, with its arid fields, hot winds and stunted trees flowered orange and red. And when we turned off the two-lane highway and onto the rutted cottage road I couldn't help but think of the turn onto the jungle path that led to the lodge, the thorny undergrowth so dense that the branches banged and rattled and scraped against the jeep.
After we had arrived at the cottage and I had helped Andrew unload our provisions, I walked down to the lake and stood there looking across at the palatial houses that had sprung up on the other side. I remembered sitting on the deck of the lodge, gazing at the far shore of the lake where flamingos, painted storks, peacocks, buffalo, deer and even an occasional elephant could be seen drinking, bathing or searching for fish.
What marvelous holidays my brother, my two sisters and I had there as children. Despite the crocodiles, we bathed in the lake, making sure to stay in the shallows, one of us keeping an eye out for the deceptive logs. In the dry season, we played cricket or tag or ran races on the lake's parched floor. At times we would venture into the jungle, pretending to be game hunters, my brother leading the way with his air rifle, but the moment we saw elephant dung or leopard paw prints we would run back to the lodge shrieking half in terror and half in delight.
Nothing quite symbolized the end of our life in Sri Lanka as the destruction of that holiday home. The lodge was in the deep south, an area that had the same implications for us minority Tamils as the American South once had for African-Americans. The Sinhalese community was at its most racist there. Yet my father loved the landscape of the south and so, against the advice of his friends, he built his lodge in the early 70's. In 1977, the lodge was burned by a Sinhalese mob. My father went back and rebuilt it. For the next few years, the sign marking the entrance to the lodge was frequently covered with racist graffiti or torn down. In 1981, the lodge was burned again. This time, my father accepted defeat.Continue reading the main story
Eventually the growing violence between the Sinhalese and Tamils consumed our country and my family was forced to immigrate to Canada. Four years after we left Sri Lanka, I returned to look at the site. The jungle had taken over and the only thing that remained was the tower that used to house the water tank.
From the cottage garden, I could see Andrew going about the holiday home he had known since childhood, tidying up, taking down the curtains, cleaning the windows. The injustice of it all rose up in my chest. His history had continued; mine had not. He spent every Christmas in the house of his childhood, every summer at this cottage. His ancestors were buried in the same cemetery that now held his father's grave.
When I went into the bedroom above the boathouse, I saw that the shelves were filled with the things of his past -- magazines for teenagers, a tattered Scrabble game, yellowed paperback Daphne du Maurier novels, a Mennonite quilt. As I gazed at the shelves, however, my eyes alighted on a small spiral notebook. It was mine. I took it down and began to go through the pages.
Over the years I had been coming to this cottage, I had noted in the book the details of the landscape on our trip north. Passing the village of Lemonville, (where Andrew's great-grandfather once lived) I had written that first year, ''Pretty purple flowers, in ditch''; the next year: ''Purple loosestrife abundant in ditches''; then ''Loosestrife too abundant. Hope they don't choke day lilies that make Lemonville so lovely in July'' and finally: ''P.L. worse than ever.''
With each year, I saw the progress of my entries from unfamiliar to familiar to taken-for-granted; a growing knowledge of my landscape.
As I looked around the room, I found other evidence of my presence -- a pair of fire-engine-red slippers, bought in Chinatown for $1; my ''fried egg'' sweater, thus called because Andrew pointed out that the pattern on the front looked like eggs done sunny side up; acid-washed jeans from my club days, turned into cutoffs, and then just abandoned.
Taking down the du Maurier novels, I saw that I had bookmarked each of them with memorabilia from summers past. One book held a photograph of me in my old favorite swimming trunks; on the back, a friend had written ''f.y.i., Speedos went out in the 80's.'' Another had a piece of paper with the phone number of a close friend who had moved to Australia; in a third was a card my niece had made when she came to visit. I had been so caught up in the past, I had not realized that this Canadian holiday home held my history too.
The task I had taken on that day was to clean out the tool shed that had belonged to Andrew's late father. It was so jammed with stuff that I could barely push the door wide enough to squeeze inside. After I cleared a little room, I began to fling things out into a pile to be taken away -- cans of rusted bolts and nails and hinges, battered metal boxes filled with the ghosts of tools past, packages of mildewed linoleum tiles, moth-eaten fishing vests and jackets, corroded gutter pipes and rakes, fishing tackle that had come unwound from its spool and lay in a great webbing on the floor. As I waded through these layers of the past, I thought how hard it must have been for Andrew's father, a child of the Depression, to throw anything away. And then, a passage from the Tirukkural, an ancient work of Tamil philosophy, rose into my mind -- ''As one by one we give up, we get freer and freer of pain.''
The sun had climbed high in the sky and its rays stretched in great bars across the lawn. A loon was calling on the lake, a motorboat had started up in the distance, children were playing on swings in the neighboring garden. It was time to go swimming.Continue reading the main story

How to let the form user see the submission ID and at the same time let him know that's the las submission?Asked by gaudolino on September 10, 2013 at 11:17 AM
When one creates/edits a form it is possible to add Submission ID field, which is visible to a creator and which holds last Submission ID. Is it possible to make it visible also to end users, so they can know whther they already kick some limit - I would name it Last Submission ID?
Thanks for contacting us.
That's possible by creating an autoresponder email and include the ID field in the body so that your users receive a copy of the form and know the submission number/ID. Now to let the user know he has kick the submission limit you will need to do some alternative workaround to give that submission limit to your form and let the user know at the same time.
After adding the Unique ID to your form, please follow these steps:
1. Go to Setup & Embed tab>Preferences>Form Limits and define the Submission limit number as the limit you want to have in the form.
2. Then Create an autoresponder and include the ID field in the body of the email. Also, also add a warning message like this " _The submission limit number of your form_ is the submission limit of this form. So, if you r submission ID is _the number again_, you wont be able to send one more submission."
Then your autoresponder body will look this way:
I Have created an example form:
Feel free to send it, you will get the autoresponder with the ID and the warning message.
I hope this helps, however, if you need further assistance, please let us know.
Yes, I use Submission ID in email notifications. But I would need an end user to see a number of people who submitted a form beforehand, i.e. before he submits a form. I thought that if it is possible in back end, it could be also possible in a form.
So, what you need is to show the number ID in the form, so that your user can see it when filling out the form and in that way he can know the number of people that has submitted the form before him?
If that is the case, let me tell you that it can't be done with the Unique ID field, as it is a hidden field by default. However, I think there could be a workaround by applying some code to the source code of the form so that you can accomplish what you need.
I would need some time to look for a solution, so I will get back to you if I'm able to. However I can't promise anything. Will do my best to help you.
did you succeed in customizing source code of o form to provide an user
with info on number of previous submissions?
Best Regards,

Hi Milan,
I'm not sure if I got your question correctly, what you want is to show the submission ID in to your form so the form users would be able to view it before submitting the form? If yes, this is not possible, simply because submission ID is generated in the backend after the form is submitted.
However, if you mean generate a random number and display it to your form, this is possible when you add custom scripts to your form source code. Here's an example:
Refresh the page to create random numbers.
I used this script: http://pastiebin.com/5235a5d7485b6
Customize this script to work with your form.
- Number length can be changed in the code //var string_length = 8;
- Display the generated numbers into a specific field in your form by changing input_1 (field ID). //document.getElementById('input_1').value
Let us know if you have further questions. Hope this helps. Regards!
I would like to show form users Submission ID, but not the one you wrote
about (Submission ID that is only generated after a user clicks Submit
buttton), but Submission ID of a previous form user who already sent a
submission - this ID also appears in a form editor.

Thanks for the clarification. Unfortunately, that's not possible with JotForm as mentioned in my first message. I'm afraid there's no workaround for that, we'll wait for my colleagues suggestion about this if they have any since I have no clue at the moment.

text: Already in the Sixties and Seventies trend-conscious people were attracted to the Orient in search of inspiration, self-discovery, fantasy and romance. The colours of the trendforecast Oriental Sixties are inspired by warm colours, as they were very popular during the Sixties. A black or white contrast emphasizes the look and gives the design the je ne sais quoi.

Robert and Samuel Bell are identified by some researchers as brothers who came from Ireland to North Carolina c. 1750.

The third weekend of March lacrosse features some intriguing non-conference matchups. In battles featuring four undefeated teams, Albany and UMass are set to clash in Amherst on Saturday and James Madison heads to Baltimore to take on the Greyhounds. Princeton and Virginia will square off in Charlottesville. Florida continues their homestand in an Orange & Blue affair. Georgetown, coming off their first win of the season, heads to Chapel Hill. Lastly, Sarah Jonson and Taylor Thorton are returning home in high fashion as Northwestern and William & Mary will be duking it out on Saturday evening in Cowboy Stadium. Here's a rundown of it all:
UMass and Albany head into this weekend's contest undefeated. Jackie Lyons has been the glue of the Massachusetts attack for four years and is having an impressive senior campaign. Seniors Taylor Frink and Nikki Branchini lead an Albany lineup that is averaging almost 16 goals per game. The matchup will be a hard fought battle on Saturday at Garber Field.
The Great Danes and the Minutewomen are very similar on paper. Senior leadership where it counts and some fresh faces in the scoring column. Rookies Katie Ferris (UMass) and Ariana Parker (Albany) are having breakout years as both lead their teams in goals. Jackie Lyons runs the show offensively for the Minutewomen and leads the team with a very balanced 23 points (12g, 11a). All-American Nikki Branchini has moved into more of a midfield role this year for the Great Danes, but is still the team's top defender. A Lyons vs. Branchini matchup is likely one and will be an exciting one to watch.
Saturday's game could be a high scoring affair as both offenses boast a number of threats. Ferris leads the team in goal scoring as a rookie. She's a pure finisher and has gained confidence since the season began.
Frink is Albany's leader in points (14g, 10a). The Great Dane offense runs through her as she leads the team in assists. If both offenses are firing on all cylinders on Saturday, this will be a great game to catch.
The Greyhounds narrowly escaped Delaware on Wednesday as James Madison cruised past Princeton. When the Dukes travel north to Baltimore on Saturday, both teams enter the match undefeated. This non-conference matchup features two fast and athletic squads.
Grace Gavin currently leads a veteran Loyola squad. The depth and balance that the 'Hounds posess is a scary matchup for any team. It seems when one is shut down, another steps up for Loyola. JMU lacks the depth that Loyola has, but certainly not the skill. US team member Casey Ancarrow and All-American Mary Kate Lomady form a scoring duo that will need to be accounted for on Saturday. Look for this to be a fast-pace game as both teams can run-and-gun. Should be an exciting showdown at Ridley Athletic Complex.
On Wednesday evening, Decker scored a team-high six points (4g, 2a) coming off the bench for the Greyhounds. Running on their second midfield, Decker is just one example of the depth that Loyola boasts.
Zabel ranks third on the team in scoring. JMU's two leading scorers (Ancarrow & Lomady) will be marked tight on Saturday as Loyola boasts a talented D. Zabel and Ariel Lane will have to produce for the Dukes.
Both the Tigers and the Cavaliers have been having up and down seasons. Virginia (4-3) recently topped William & Mary overcoming an 11-5 halftime deficit. The defense buckled down and Bailey Fogarty (6gb, 3dc, 4ct vs. William & Mary) shined from the backline for the 'Hoos. Princeton (3-2) dropped a 10-5 decision at James Madison on Wednesday. The Tigers are led by senior Lizzy Drumm (13g, 1a) and Jaci Gassaway (9g, 6a).
UVA juniors Julie Gardner (15g, 13a), Charlie Finnigan (22g, 5a), Josie Owen (15g, 10a) and Ainsley Baker (18g, 4a) lead the Cavs in scoring efforts as each have over 20 points on the season. The fifth leading scoring on the team has just 9 in comparrison. All-American Liz Downs & Bailey Fogarty will need an answer for Drumm and Gassaway. More scoring options will need to emerge for the Tigers on Saturday if they hope to keep up with the Cavs. Virginia's Big Four will need to be accounted for as Princeton will look to Erin Tochihara to have a huge day in goal for the Tigers.
The senior defender was key in the 'Hoos comeback victory of the Tribe on Wednesday night. The posessions she gained for her team (6gb, 3dc, 4ct) were game-changing. She leads the team in ground balls and caused turnovers this season.
Pyle ranks think on the team in points (8g, 2a). The Virginia defense is a talented and disciplined one. They will look to shut down Jaci Gassaway & Lizzy Drumm. On Saturday, Princeton's next few leading scorers will need to step up.
The Gators and the Orange are set to clash Saturday in Gainesville as Florida hosts their home game of the season. The Orange are coming off a Tuesday win over Towson. Florida (7-1) has been outscoring their opponents at will and haven't been challenged since a season-opening loss in Chapel Hill. Syracuse (2-3) has struggled early on, but has recently found some consistency on offense and the defense has been superb.
The Gators have a run-and-gun style much like their assistant coach's (Caitlyn McFadden) alma mater. When the Orange and the Terps squared off last weekend, Syracuse slowed the game down. They held the ball on offense for long posessions. On the defensive end, the Orange were on. The 'Cuse defense held Maryland to just 7 goals. The Gators haven't been challenged since their season opener (loss to UNC). Florida has cruised by every opponent since then. Will Syracuse slow the game down again in Gainesville? It all depends on how the Gators are on the draw and on offense. If Florida doesn't gain posession off the draw and if they don't capitalize on their shots, Syracuse could slow the game down on offense.
Cullen leads the team in scoring (36g, 4a) and has played a huge role in Florida's rise to the top 10 this season. She goes hard to goal and rarely turns the ball over. If the Orange want to top the Gators on Saturday, they will have to contain Cullen.
The sophomore attacker is the quarterback of the Syracuse attack. Her thirteen points (5g, 8a) are second-best on the team and she does well under pressure. Tumolo will need to continue to produce this weekend as the Orange look to upset the Gators.
The Heels and the Hoyas will square off on Saturday afternoon in Chapel Hill. The Hoyas earned their first win of the season on Wednesday as they narrowly espcaped Johns Hopkins, 12-11. The Heels have just two losses of the season at the hands of No. 2 Northwestern and No. 3 Penn. Georgetown has gotten off to a rough start as their youth is still adjusting. North Carolina is just starting to hit their stride and their scoring efforts are becoming more and more balanced.
Georgetown can score. They snuck 15 past Northwestern and have scored double digits in three of their four contests in 2011. Where the Hoyas have struggled is on defense and in goal. In just four games, the Hoyas have allowed 65 goals and boast just 22 saves. Conversely, North Carolina's defense has been stellar. The Tar Heel backline doesn't give up many opportunities. If the Hoyas are going to top the Heels, they'll need strong defensive play. UNC All-American Corey Donohoe and US team middie Laura Zimmerman will need to be kept in check.
Zimmerman missed the first few games of the season due to a hamstring injury. The junior middie has been back in the lineup for a few games now and has helped UNC become more balanced on attack.
If Georgetown earns their second W of the season, it will be on the back of a strong defensive effort. The All-American defender will likely draw the task of stifling UNC's Corey Donohoe. If Donohoe is held at bay, the Hoyas may find themselves in the game.
In my opinion this is the matchup of the weekend simply due to the venue. A game in Cowboys Stadium is huge for the growth of the sport. Playing in that venue is likely a dream come true for both teams, especially Dallas natives Taylor Thornton (Northwestern) & Sarah Jonson (William & Mary). The two high school teammates return home and square off against each other Saturday evening under the lights in the largest domed stadium in the world.
Northwestern has shown it's the "same as it ever was" in Evanston in 2011. The Wildcats have been roaring past opponents since their overtime win at North Carolina. Since the UNC contest, the 'Cats have doubled up on each opponent. The attacking prowess of the Wildcats will undoubtedly be the focus of this game. If the Tribe can get the ball on the attacking end, Grace Golden & Co. could make this a game. If Northwestern has the ball, Shannon Smith will need to be contained or the purple flood gates could open in Dallas.
Thornton's homecoming is one of high fashion as her team preps to square off in Cowboys Stadium. She has been spectacular for the Wildcats this season and is en route to becoming a 4x All-American.
The Dallas native and Hockaday alum returns home and will have her hands full on Saturday. Likely drawing the Smith matchup, she will need to quiet the leading scorer and Wildcat quarterback. Jonson leads the Tribe in ground balls (16) and caused turnovers (10).

MEXICO CITY Mexico may have to wait up to another year for the U.S. aircraft it says it needs to prevail in a fight against drug syndicates that shows no sign of waning.
Five helicopters that arrived Tuesday are only part of the U.S. aid package agreed to in 2007 to help combat cartels, said Rep. Jose Luis Ovando, chairman of the security committee in the Chamber of Deputies, Mexico's lower house of Congress.
"The time frames have not always been what one would like, and the flows of money have sometimes left something to be desired," he said.
LAW ENFORCEMENT: Police step up in Mexico's drug wars
BACKGROUND: Mexican drug gangs wage war
INTERACTIVE: Villa Ahumada, in the cross fire of the drug war
The $1.3 billion assistance package promised to Mexico under the Bush administration is caught up in U.S. bureaucratic delays, says a Dec. 3 report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). As of Sept. 30, 3% of the funds had been spent since the deal was struck.
The delays come as Mexican authorities are locked in an increasingly bloody battle against the drug cartels. The U.S. Defense Department says Mexico's deadliest drug cartels have reached a combined force of 100,000 foot soldiers, which rivals the size of the Mexican army.
In 2006, President Felipe Calderón stepped up the fight by dispatching troops to cartel strongholds along the central Gulf and border states. The cartels are fighting back, and more than 13,000 people have died in the violence since.
In the central Mexican town of Tancitaro, the mayor, city council and police force resigned this month because of threats from cartels.
What Mexico is up against
The major cartels earn billions of dollars annually and use it to buy protection, fighters and arms. Among their ranks are former members of elite army units turned hit men. Automatic weapons, bulletproof vests and helmets are standard equipment for cartel soldiers, who are armed with rocket launchers, submarines and even anti-aircraft missiles.
Their might has made Mexico a major producer and supplier to the United States of heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine and the major transit country for cocaine, the Congressional Research Service says. It was with this in mind that President Bush sealed the Merida Initiative.
The initiative funds aircraft and surveillance equipment to track and break up trafficking networks, as well as vehicles that can manage the terrain where cartels sometimes operate. It also provided funds to improve police ranks, weed out corruption and bolster the courts.
Aircraft account for half of the package. Mexico requested aircraft to hunt down marijuana and poppy farms, speedboats carrying Colombian cocaine and planes carrying marijuana.
The government is also building a network of police bases, each with a heliport, so that authorities can send federal reinforcements anywhere in the country within minutes.
In a Tuesday ceremony, U.S. military officials handed over the first five helicopters to the Mexican air force, but 15 other aircraft may not arrive until 2011, the GAO said.
"It's frustrating," said Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., a member of the House subcommittee that oversees aid for Mexico. "The slow pace was something we didn't anticipate."
Yet to arrive:
• Up to eight UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters for the air force and federal police.
• Up to four Casa 235 Persuader surveillance airplanes for the navy.
• Up to eight Bell 412 helicopters for the Mexican air force.
'Cumbersome' logistics
The GAO said the delay is due to a miscalculation of time and logistics. Haggling with manufacturers over aircraft contracts takes up to six months, and the State Department has had to negotiate with Mexico and other agencies over equipment and delivery of the aircraft, the GAO report said.
In March, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton admitted the helicopter purchases had been "cumbersome" and said her department would try to speed the process.
The State Department said it has delivered other big-ticket items, including 26 armored vehicles, 30 ion scanners for detecting drugs and explosives, five X-ray vans and forensic equipment for tracing bullets. U.S. trainers also are teaching investigative skills to thousands of Mexican federal police recruits at an academy in the central city of San Luis Potosí.
It wasn't until September that the U.S. government signed contracts with Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. of Stratford, Conn., for the first three Black Hawk helicopters. Building those helicopters will take an additional 12 to 18 months, the GAO report said. That would put their delivery date in late 2010 or early 2011.
The surveillance planes will take even longer to build: 18 months to two years, the report said.
Mexico says it needs the help to match the strength of the cartels.
"We have before us a task that is still challenging and inconclusive," said Julian Ventura, Mexican undersecretary of foreign relations for North America. "Our societies demand and deserve strong and safe communities, communities that can develop without the threat of violence and drugs."

In a life largely free of regrets, John Browne has two. The first is that he didn't push harder to make BP a player in the Alberta oil sands. The second is staying in the closet as long as he did.
The two regrets are not unrelated. BP Canada's pass on the oil sands was an economic decision. The company thought it could make more money on unconventional oil. Mr. Browne's decision to keep his homosexuality secret, at least in his professional life, was also economic. He thought that if he came out, it would have stopped his rise to the top of one of the world's biggest oil companies. "I was certain that if people in BP had known I was gay, it would have been the end of my career," he wrote in his 2010 memoir, Beyond Business.
Today, Mr. Browne is surprised that his reluctant outing did not inspire other gay executives to do the same. "As far as I know, there is only one recently appointed, out CEO in the FTSE 100 or S&P 500," he tells me over our lunchtime non-lunch in west London's ultra-posh Mayfair district.
I had been looking forward to our lunch, not just because Mr. Browne was – and remains – a big player in an industry that I had covered on and off for my entire career, but because he had offered to take me to one of Mayfair's private dining clubs.
But when I show up at the RiverStone Europe offices, where he is a partner, he says he had lost his appetite. His voice is hoarse; he picked up a cold in New York. So we hunker down in the sixth-floor meeting room, overlooking the Royal Academy of Arts. Coffee is ordered, and biscuits – cookies to you and me. "Absolutely from my private reserve," he says about the cookies, laughing.
Mr. Browne – Lord Browne of Madingley, to use his proper title – is short and trim, with the precise manner of a military officer, though he never did military service. His father did. He is articulate and has an amazing range of interests. Over an hour and a half, he talks about everything from shale gas fracking and BP's Persian roots to Venetian engravings and what it's like being a writer as well as the public face of the European arm of an American private equity firm. His third book, The Glass Closet, is to be published in June.
Mr. Browne, 65, spent his entire career at BP, the former British Petroleum, and was CEO from 1995 to 2007, when he was felled by the scandal triggered by a lie over how he had met his boyfriend at the time, a Canadian. His top-dog years at BP made him Britain's best-known executive, largely because he employed a string of ultra-savvy, bottom-of-the-market acquisitions to turn a second-rate player into a global energy powerhouse. At the height of his power, he was dubbed the industry's "Sun King" by the British press.
Mr. Browne was very much shaped by his father, also called John Browne, and his mother, Paula Wesz, who was of Jewish descent, born in Transylvania when it was part of Hungary, and lived with her son until she died in 2000. The senior Mr. Browne was a career British army officer who worked for the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, BP's predecessor; she was a milliner, designer and translator. Both were education disciplinarians and pushed their son to excel in all subjects.
"My mother was acutely aware of achievement from the very beginning," Mr. Browne says. "Go to school, work hard, learn an instrument. She said the only thing they can't take away from you is what's in your head, so you better fill it up. Everything else is completely temporary. She remembered that people would take their belongings to Auschwitz, which turned out to be another way for the Third Reich to collect wealth."
His parents met at the end of the Second World War. She had survived the Auschwitz work camp. "She was told to march and miraculously survived," Mr. Browne says. "My mother was taken to Hamburg and ended up as my father's interpreter. She spoke Hungarian, Romanian, German and English. They had a great romance and got married."
The two of them, with young John in tow, had a life of great adventure. Mr. Browne remembers coming home in late 1956 to a mob of exotic strangers, among them an eye surgeon and an opera singer – refugees, as it turned out, from the Hungarian uprising. "My mother was some sort of single-handed resettlement agency for Hungarian refugees," he says.
Then it was off to Iran, where the senior Mr. Browne worked at the Masjid-i-Suleiman oil field in the west. Young John remembers the famous oil well blowout at Ahvaz in 1958, one whose fires could be seen 80 kilometres away. "I was six years old, looking at the sight of the great explosions," he says. "There were huge flares of gas you could see at night and you could smell the oil everywhere. It gave me the taste for the oil industry."
The younger Mr. Browne studied physics at Cambridge, toyed with the idea of a career in academia, changed his mind and joined BP in 1969 at age 22. He was promptly expedited to the Alaskan oil rush, where he worked as a trainee petroleum engineer. Until he resigned six years ago, he had never worked at any other company.
Along the way, he had stints in Calgary, San Francisco and Cleveland. The Calgary years, in the late 1970s, convinced Mr. Browne that BP should not be an oil sands player, setting it apart from rivals such as Exxon and Shell. I ask why he and his then second-in-command, Jim Buckee, who would later become CEO of Talisman Energy, BP Canada's successor, took a pass on the Alberta goo. "We concluded that BP didn't have all the best bits of acreage, that Imperial and Shell did," he says. "We just didn't have enough money to do everything we wanted."
He now admits that he "absolutely" should have pushed harder in the oil sands and that new technology, such as SAGD – steam-assisted gravity drainage – went a long way to make oil sands production more profitable.
But Mr. Browne will be remembered more for what he bought than what he didn't. Between the late 1990s and the early part of the past decade, he did three deals that launched BP into the big leagues, all of them done when oil was at rock-bottom prices. BP merged with Amoco and shortly thereafter bought Atlantic Richfield and Burmah Castrol.
BP got even bigger in 2003, when he and the Russian oligarch Mikhail Fridman formed the TNK-BP joint venture, creating Russia's third-largest oil producer. "We made a huge amount of money with TNK-BP," he says. "We invested about $7-billion [U.S.], plus some tangible assets of $1-billion. The company generated dividends and we sold at a return of five or six times" (BP and its Russian partners had a fallout in the post-Browne era and TNK is now owned by Russia's Rosneft).
But shade was to fall on the Sun King's empire too.
In 2005, an explosion at BP's Texas City Refinery killed 15 and injured 170. An independent report on the tragedy concluded that it was the fault of a safety mishap that could have been avoided. Two years later, Mr. Browne lied about how he met his live-in Canadian lover, which, in fact, was done through an escort agency. He lost his case against the Mail on Sunday newspaper to keep the details of his private life out of the press.
That ended his career at BP and at Goldman Sachs, where he was a director (at BP, he was replaced by Tony Hayward, whose own career would end with the Macondo oil blowout in the Gulf of Mexico).
Does he wish he had come out the closet years earlier? "Yes I do, [but] that's a retrospective fallacy. …It's not without risk coming out even today." He won't say more for fear of front-running his book about "being gay in business."
Mr. Browne wasn't down for long after his humiliation at BP. He is chairman of Cuadrilla Resources, the British company, about half-owned by RiverStone, that is leading the (slow) charge into British shale-gas development. He is also chairman of the Tate galleries and the lead non-executive board member of the Cabinet Office, giving him a key role in government business policy. His passion is Venice, where he owns a Grand Canal apartment full of Venetian engravings and photographs by Wolfgang Tillmans and Robert Mapplethorpe.
But it is BP that defined his career, one that both made him the Sun King and blotted out his sun because of fear about exposing his gay life. "BP was a tremendous experience and I don't think you could follow that," he says. Indeed, but collecting art and writing books in a sumptuous Venetian apartment isn't a bad consolation prize.
One employer, BP PLC, for 41 years, ending in 2007.
Turned BP into a global energy giant through takeovers of Amoco, Atlantic Richfield and Burmah Castrol.
Until the Macondo well disaster, BP paid about 10 per cent of all dividends in Britain.
Resigned in 2007, joined Riverstone Holdings, an energy private equity firm.
Chairman of Cuadrilla Resources, a British shale gas driller.
Author of Beyond Business, his memoir, and Seven Elements That Have Changed The World, a science book. His book about being gay in business, The Glass Closet, to be published next year.
All things Venetian. Has owned an apartment on the Grand Canal since 2000.
Collects Venetian engravings from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, pre-Columbian terracotta, photographs by Robert Mapplethorpe, Wolfgang Tillmans and Hiroshi Sugimoto and paintings by Ian Davenport.Report Typo/Error

Reach Nirvana
As the grunge lore goes, Kurt Cobain actually smelled like Teen Spirit. We can only surmise it was due to cuddling in the crook of the arm of then-girlfriend Tobi Vail, wearer of said deodorant. Legend has it that his girlfriends bandmate noticed Cobains adolescent girl odor and spray-painted Kurt smells like Teen Spirit on his wall. Not realizing there was a deodorant by the same name, Cobain was struck by the phrase and named Nirvanas 1991 single after the scent. The subsequent marketing boost for the Mennen brand of arm-pit stink was crushing to Cobain, who became exponentially disillusioned with rock fame as Nirvanas popularity peaked. Seventeen years ago this Tuesday, MTVs Kurt Loder broke the news of Cobains self-inflicted, fatal gunshot wound to the head. Hearts broke in youngsters with fingers poised over their Discmans play button for another listen of In Utero. Those fans are now 30 to 40 years old and are still likely to mope around on the anniversary of Cobains death. For the rest of you, stop by Churchills Pub for the Nirvana Tribute. Bands Mere Quantum Noise, Armada!, the Disciples, Mistr Rey, and Dino Felipe will deliver renditions of their favorites from Bleach, Nevermind, and In Utero.

Love Under the Camphor Tree (クスノキの恋) is the 15th episode of Aikatsu! TV anime series and the 15th episode of its "1st Season" (
Otome manages to score a last minute appointment with her favored brand's top designer; but when she gets lost she comes across an old woman in search of a camphor tree and decides to help her out instead.
One day Otome paces around, trying to determine where she has wound up. So she starts to think about what led her there.
In class, Johnny brings up a very special audition. For those who pass, they will be given a Mastery of Appearance. Ichigo is really excited, but Aoi points out that in a way this is like a final exam for them. After class ends, Aoi informs the other three that she managed to get them a private dance lesson while Ran points out how important team work will be this time. They find the dance lesson very difficult and the woman claims that they are not even concentrating on their appearance. It doesn't matter how they look, and she tells them to think about themselves instead of her just telling them to.
As lunch comes by the girls try to figure out what the instructor may have meant, but Ichigo believes it just has to do with how one looks. She then goes on to say that Aoi has been keeping track of her calorie intake before they notice that Otome has only been eating a lot of sweets. She claims to be fine though and Aoi also points out that if eaten careful, chocolate can provide a good use for substance. Ran decides that a new discussion should be in order, but before she can think of something to say, they realize that Otome has run outside to look at the flowers.
They track her down and they drag her elsewhere to start discussing that she should get her hands on Premium Cards for the audition. She is the only one in the group without any and they take turns talking about the brands before Aoi recalls how much Otome likes Happy Rainbow. She explains how one obtains the Premium Cards before they go to ask Johnny where to locate Happy Rainbow's top designer. He mentions how hard it is to please this particular designer, but he claims he can easily set something up. But the girls accuse him of just going on to ask Orihime again.
Later on, the girls mention the Audition again and Otome frets over holding them back. Ran tells her that with this behavior she wont be able to pass, and she states that if they cannot all use the Premium Coords then none of them will. They will rely strictly on skills to show everyone that it wont matter. So with this said the girls quickly get to work training.
During break, Ichigo receives a text and reads it to the others.
The next day, the four girls proceed to chase their teacher around wondering what happened to getting the appointment with the top designer. He wasn't able to get it and feels really bad, but runs off so that they stop harassing him. Ran decides that none of them will use the premium cards, but suddenly Orihime comes by and gives Otome a letter from Makoto, the top designer of Happy Rainbow. She tells her not to be late since he's strict and right away Otome prepares to go for it.
Later on, Otome happens to wander by the same road she got lost on the previous day when she happens to spot a cute old lady. The woman scolds her for being rude and Otome apologizes and makes an attempt to leave. But she stops her to ask for help, explaining how she used to live in this town a long time ago and is in search of a big camphor tree. She wishes to find it as it's special to her, and while Otome is touched by this story, she realizes that she has her appointment to get to. However, she can't resist doing something so nice and helping love, so she agrees. The old woman introduces herself as Ikuyo and Otome promises to help her.
Meanwhile the trio are still trying to determine what's going on. They receive a text from Otome saying she needs their help and they leave the campus after they get permission. Upon locating her, Ran scolds her since they have more important things to do then look for a tree, but Otome claims this is just as important and asks them to help her look for the big camphor tree. Aoi tries to use the map on her Aikatsu phone, but struggles to locate the right one since there's so many. Ikuyo doesn't have any other information to help them, and because of her age she also can't walk that far on her own, so Ichigo volunteers to carry her.
After they visit six shrines, Ikuyo mentions that she did not see the tree and is worried they may have passed it. As the girls take turns carrying her, running back and fourth, she suddenly remembers that it has been over fifty years and can't remember anything else, other than where it may be. Ran believes they should be going since it's already after three, but Otome remains dedicated and they run around the area to speak to the residents in hopes of finding someone who recognizes it.
Suddenly Otome runs into a strange man and knocks him over. He scolds Otome and mentions that he has to hurry up for his appointment. She asks him about the three and Ichigo manages to locate it, but the only thing left is the stump. Where it is revealed that it had to be cut down after a bad storm ruined it. Despite that, Ikuyo is very happy to have found it and she tells them the story of what happened and mentions that the boy had turned her down. But she did marry soon after and even now, she has three grown children and her husband has become bedridden since then. Before she knew it, she had come there to search for her memories.
She thanks Otome for her help and gives her a special ring on a necklace that belonged to the boy that turned her down. It may be special to her, but she wants Otome to have it and her memories are good enough. She also thanks the others and takes her leave. The trio remind Otome of her appointment afterwards and by the time they reach it, Otome realizes that the strange man she ran into was Makoto, the top designer. Right away he accuses her of being after the Tropical Basket Coord he made and tells her that she can't have it since she's five minutes late. Aoi tries to explain why she was late but he refuses to hear it.
Although disappointed, Otome claims that it is fine because it was her own fault for being late. She does not deserve the time and effort he put into making the coord. Ran then mentions the time again and she decides that they will just use their normal coords. While Otome feels down, she also has great feelings about helping someone and brings up the pendant. Suddenly, Makoto asks Otome why he has it, since his Father gave one to him exactly like it. He checks the nearby drawer and finds his Fathers pendant still inside and starts to wonder if the old woman Otome was with may have been the very same one in his Fathers story.
He explains that his dad really liked this girl, but he had to reject her due to Family circumstances. He gave the pendant to her so that she would have something to remember him by, and like Otome, it was a very touching story to Makoto. He feels overjoyed in knowing that not even after fifty years, the woman still remembers it dearly. In hearing this Otome decides to give Makoto the other half of the pendant since she is sure his father and the woman would prefer it this way.
Touched by Otome's kindness Makoto decides to give her the Tropical Basket coord as thanks. But she is unable to thank him properly before Ran yanks her away to remind her that they have to hurry up and get back to school before they're too late for the audition. The four girls quickly run back and make it just in time to change and perform to "Trap of Love".
After their performance the girls notice they got the Mastery Mark. Mizuki has come by to comment on this and mentions how much harder things will be getting now. She then informs Ichigo that she's going to be her partner, much to Ichigo's shock.

Following the first July live evaluation period, with prime events in North Augusta, Ga., (Peach Jam), Indianapolis, Ind., (Adidas Uprising) and Charlotte, N.C. (Under Armour Challenge), several new Terps targets emerged, as expected. Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon ended up extending a few offers earlier this week, while establishing connections with many other potential recruits as well.
The next live period runs from July 15-19, although there aren't quite as many "major" events this time around. Even so, we fully expect more names to crop up in conjunction with the Terps.
First, let's recap the July 9-12 weekend:
Class of 2016 Notes
In the 2016 class, the most recent scholarship went out to power forward Sacha Killeya-Jones (Episcopal/Lynchburg, Va.), a 6-10, 205-pound four-star who already held verbals from the country's bluebloods. Killeya-Jones is projected to land at either Kentucky or North Carolina, both of which have been after him for awhile now. It's going to be difficult for the Terps to gain much traction, especially since they entered the game a little late.
Another rising senior, Sacred Heart's (Waterbury, Conn.) Mustapha Heron, also claimed a Maryland offer, although the small forward probably had a conditional one for several months. The five-star talent has had contact with UMD since Scott Spinelli was on staff, so there's already an established relationship. He's considering a visit to College Park, Md., at some point, though that's highly tentative.
Ultimately, Heron, who decommitted from Pittsburgh April 17, may be St. John's bound. He recently visited Alabama and Memphis, but the Johnnies hold weight since Barry Rohrssen, his former recruiter at Pitt, is now with the Red Storm.
A couple other star 2016 talents mentioned in conjunction with Maryland recently include small forward Terrance Ferguson (Prime Prep/Dallas, Texas), power forward Juwan Durham (Tampa Prep/Tampa, Fla.) and small forward De'riante Jenkins (West Oaks Academy/Orlando, Fla.). None of the trio claim Terps' offers yet, but could receive them if their interest in UMD is reciprocal.
Ferguson, a five-star recruit, has Kansas all over him and could very well wind up a Jayhawk before it's all said and done. The 6-7, 180-pounder has visited KU, hosted KU coaches, and had headman Bill Self watch him during the April and July evaluation periods. Alabama, Louisville, Baylor, Florida, SMU and Texas are also making a potent push, but it'll be hard for any of them to top Kansas.
As for the Terps, assistant Dustin Clark and Turgeon have connections in the Lone Star State, so maybe they can make some inroads here. We're not banking on it, but we'll keep Ferguson's name in mind just in case.
Durham, meanwhile, is a four-star from the Sunshine State with all the Florida programs after him. UF, FSU and Miami are among his primary contenders, and he figures to sign with one of those three. Apparently the Terps and recruiter Cliff Warren have been involved, though, so we'll see what kind of impression they make as the summer moves along.
Jenkins is the least heralded of this latter group, holding offers from Clemson, Wake, USF and ECU. Warren has watched him and may have some interest, but it remains to be seen if Turgeon will make a run. The 6-6, 180-pounder may be a fallback option in case Wenyen Gabriel and others fall by the wayside. For the time being, he's projected to Clemson.
The rest of the 2016 "names to know" have been discussed in previous write-ups.
Turgeon and Clark both watched elite New York sharpshooter Kevin Huerter (Shenendehowa HS/Clifton Park, N.Y.) last week, the 6-5, 170-pounder remaining a top shooting guard target. The feeling is the Terps are firmly in the game for Huerter, who should be visiting College Park in August, but Notre Dame may be the leader. Evidently the Irish and head coach Mike Brey have left a deep impression, Huerter eager to see South Bend, Ind., next month as well.
Michigan is also a primary contender and may rank second or third in the pecking order. Syracuse, which was firmly involved in Huerter's recruitment, just received a commitment from shooting guard Tyus Battle and may no longer be pursuing the Shenendehowa product in earnest (unless Huerter elects to go to prep school for a year, reclassing to 2017).
The Terps also saw shooting guard Brandon Robinson (Douglas County/Douglasville, Ga.) fill up the stat sheet at Peach Jam, further raising his stock. Robinson has a number of new programs coming after him now, but we're sensing Maryland, Florida and FSU remain at the forefront of his mind.
Of all Maryland's 2016 guard targets, Robinson is still the most likely to become a Terp. We'll see if that's still the case following the next two live periods.
Roman Catholic (Philadelphia, Pa.) point guard Tony Carr, meanwhile, did not participate during the first July live period due to an injury. Regardless, his stock has fallen a bit and it's questionable whether or not the Terps are still pushing for him. Carr has Indiana, Penn State and Pitt after him and could wind up at one of those three locales.
We're leaving him "warm" on the hot board for now, but he could move to "cool" at any time.
As for DeMatha's (Hyattsville, Md.) combo guard Markelle Fultz, well, he's probably out of Maryland's reach. Not only did Fultz add his coveted Kentucky offer, but he picked up North Carolina earlier this week as well. Now, Fultz is considering KY, UNC, Arizona, Louisville and Washington, with the Terps on the outside looking in.
At small forward, Wenyen Gabriel (Wilbraham & Monson/Wilbraham, Mass.) remains priority No. 1 and Maryland's most realistic target -- barring a late charge on the aforementioned Mustapha Heron or Terrance Ferguson.
Gabriel continued to play well last weekend at the Adidas event, adding offers from Notre Dame and Texas in the process. He'll undoubtedly give both programs a look, although publically Gabriel is staying mum, insisting he's very much open to all his suitors.
That said, Gabriel allowed that Maryland, Providence, UConn, BC and UVA have made him "a priority," according to Scout's Evan Daniels. The Terps, in particular, have been making a push here, and when Gabriel releases his leaderboard this August, Maryland should be at or near the front of it.
Gabriel is still on track to visit College Park next month, with his college decision coming later during the fall. Although he has plenty of attractive options, we like Maryland's chances thanks to recruiter Bino Ranson's deep rapport with him.
Last week, we mentioned power forward Kassoum Yakwe (Our Savior New American School/Centereach, N.Y.) as a name to monitor following his Maryland offer. And this week we learned from Yakwe's coaches the Terps are indeed right in the thick of things with the 6-7, 220-pounder. Despite the late scholarship, Yakwe is apparently intrigued by UMD what with recruiter Dustin Clark's overtures. He's even considering taking a visit to College Park after the evaluation periods.
Iowa State, Kansas, UConn, St. John's and Indiana, among others, are also involved, although a few of the above (KU, ISU namely) may have backed off some. If so, the Terps could make things interesting, to say the least. Stay tuned.
As for potential center recruits, we haven't heard much beyond the two prospects we've been mentioning for awhile now: Udoka Azubuike (Potter's House Christian Academy/Jacksonville, Fla.) and Jacob Larsen (Denmark).
Azubuike recently told Scout, though, that Florida, FSU and Kansas were after him the hardest. We don't project Maryland to gain much ground on that group, although Azubuike isn't ending his recruitment anytime soon. There's time for other programs to become involved, but we don't see him winding up at Maryland.
Larsen, meanwhile, remains a mystery. We're still waiting to hear whether he'll be turning pro or heading to college for a year. All we know is the Terps continue to monitor him, which is why we're keeping him on the hot board.
So, as the summer moves along, it's looking like the Terps may be positioning themselves for a guard (Robinson is most likely), along with Gabriel and/or potentially Yakwe. If Turgeon can bring in at least two of those three, he'll probably be satisfied.
Class of 2017 Notes
Mark Turgeon certainly isn't shy about pursing the nation's elite. He extended even more offers to top 2017 talents earlier this week, banking on a strong 2016 campaign to help coax them to College Park.
The new recruits, with Maryland scholarships, on the hot board are:
De'Andre Ayton, C, 6-11, Balboa City (San Diego, Calif.): Nation's No. 1 center recruit; has Kentucky, UNC, Duke, Kansas and all the bluebloods after him; a five-star recruit.
Billy Preston, PF, 6-9, Prime Prep (Dallas, Texas): A five-star forward; Turgeon and Clark have made early inroads; has Kansas, Texas schools and potentially more bluebloods on him.
Hamidou Diallo, SG, 6-4, Woodstock Academy (Woodstock, Conn.): Was previously on hot board, but Terps just offered this week; a five-star recruit; UConn leads early; others involved are St. John's, Louisville, Indiana, Minnesota, Providence and now UMD.
Kevin Knox, SF, 6-7, Tampa Catholic (Tampa, Fla): Was previously on the hot board, but Terps just offered this week; a five-star wing; Cliff Warren has a connection here; Terps have Knox's attention, according to sources; UMD will have plenty of competition from Florida schools, nation's top programs.
Brian Bowen, SF, 6-7, Arthur Hill (Saginaw, Mich.): Was previously on the hot board, but Terps just offered this week; a five-star recruit; Michigan State an early front-runner; Duke, Kentucky and Michigan also involved.
Other new names on the radar (no offers yet) include:
Mitchell Ballock, SG, Eudora (Kans.): Four-star recruit; early offers from Kansas, Iowa State, Indiana, Oklahoma, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Creighton, UNLV.
Darius Perry, PG, Wheeler (Powder Springs, Ga.): Four-star recruit; early offers from Minnesota, FSU, Texas A&M, Wake, Xavier and others.
As a reminder, the recruits we've written about previously (with Terps offers) are:
Mohammed Bamba, PF, 6-11, Westtown School (Westtown, Pa.): Five-star recruit; wide open in recruitment; Terps have gained some traction; has Nova, Arizona, UConn, Kentucky, Arizona on him; likely bound for a blueblood.
Jordan Tucker, SF, 6-7, Archbishop Stepinac (White Plains, N.Y.): Five-star recruit; has spoken highly of Maryland following offer and may visit College Park; Syracuse may lead; UConn, Oklahoma, Indiana heavily involved.
Myles Douglas, SF, 6-7, Friends School (Baltimore, Md.): Maryland is probably the leader, though how much he develops will depend on how hard Turgeon pushes; UMD's to lose if they want him; Miami and Temple also involved.
Cody Riley, PF, 6-7, Sierra Canyon HS (Chatsworth, Calif.): Five-star recruit; Kansas, Arizona, Cal, UCLA resonating early.
D.J. Harvey, 6-6, SF, DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, Md.): Five-star recruit; always speaks highly of UMD; has visited College Park numerous times; is likely blueblood bound (Kentucky, Duke, UNC) or maybe Arizona.
Trevon Duval, PG, 6-3, St. Benedict's HS (Newark, N.J.): Five-star point; wide open in his recruitment; has been to Maryland and has some interest; Kansas, Louisville and Syracuse all over him.
Quade Green, PG, 5-11, Neumann-Goretti (Philadelphia, Pa.): Four-star point; has visited College Park and likes Terps; remaining open as he gathers offers, but UMD has left positive early impression; MSU, Penn State, Providence, Penn State also involved.
Other prospects the Terps are monitoring (no offer yet) that we've mentioned before include:
Zach Kent, 6-10, C, St. Andrew's School (Middletown, Del.): Coach reports offers from La Salle, Notre Dame, Temple, St. Joe's; Terps are monitoring closely; likes UMD a good bit and has visited.
Daniel Mading, 6-9, PF, S. Benedict's HS (Newark, N.J.): Four-star recruit; offers from Boise State, JMU, LSU, Arizona State, etc.; jury still out on how hard Terps will push.
Tyler Polley, 6-7, SF, Sagemont School (Weston, Fla.): Three-star recruit; has a few mid-major offers; Terps monitoring, waiting on development; has some connections to Maryland.
Hameir Wright, 6-7, SF, Albany Academy (Albany, N.Y.): Under the radar recruit; Terps keeping tabs.
Lonnie Walker, 6-5, SG, Reading (Pa.): A potential five-star recruit; has Villanova on him and Wildcats could lead for the moment; Maryland could offer shortly; has interest in visiting Terps and likes the program.
M.J. Walker, 6-4, SG, Jonesboro (Ga.): A top football and basketball recruit; Terps should offer eventually; Clemson, Duke, Florida, Syracuse, Miami, Michigan on him, with Kentucky lurking.
Luis Hurtado, 6-4, SG, Sagemont School (Weston, Fla.): Under the radar guard with Georgia, FSU offers; Terps know about him and watched him during live periods; UMD in "monitoring" stage to see how Hurtado develops.
Matt Turner, 6-4, SG, Blair Academy (Blairstown, N.J.): Not much known about his recruitment; Terps did check him out and are intrigued.
Myles Cale, 6-3, SG, Appoquinimink HS (Middletown, Del.): A potential high-major recruit; has visited UMD and likes Terps a lot; interest is apparently reciprocal; if Turgeon antes up, UMD could be in position to land Cale.
Eric Ayala, 6-3, SG, Sanford School (Hockessin, Del.): Has offers from Cincinnati, La Salle, St. John's, St. Joe's; Terps and Bino Ranson keeping tabs on him; Ayala's been to UMD before and is intrigued by the school.
David Beatty, 6-3, SG, St. Benedict's HS (Newark, N.J.): Emerging shooting guard with PSU offer; Maryland knows about him, but jury out on the interest level right now.
Elijah Clarance, 6-3, SG, St. Maria Goretti HS (Hagerstown, Md.): Intriguing glue-guy; Terps keeping tabs, but not sure if high-major talent yet; has visited UMD and might jump at chance to play for nearby school.

The first leak from the album features Saigon, Inspectah Deck, Ransom and Quan (remember him) and the track is called "Cut My Throat".

Clinton Hails Key Senate Committee Passage of Breast Cancer Bill
Clinton-backed bill would help research link between environmental pollutants and breast cancer
Washington, DC - Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton hailed passage by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee of the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act, legislation that would authorize the creation of NIH-funded research centers to explore the links between environmental pollutants and breast cancer. Senator Clinton is an original cosponsor of this legislation.
"With increased research, we can learn more about the environmental factors that contribute to chronic disease." Senator Clinton said. "I am proud that we are making the commitment to improving our ability to investigate the links between pollutants and breast cancer. This legislation is the first step in improving our overall response to environmental health concerns."
Fran Visco, President of the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC), welcomed passage of the bill and praised Senator Clinton's leadership of on this issue. "We are grateful for Senator Clinton's' leadership and steadfast support over the years, for the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act. As a lead sponsor of this bill, Senator Clinton has worked with the advocacy community and within the Senate to advance our cause. This landmark breast cancer legislation recognizes that it is time for a national strategy to address the connection between the environment and the development of breast cancer. Now, thanks in large part to the key efforts of Senator Clinton, the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act moves to the full Senate. NBCC is committed to working with Senator Clinton to make certain the bill is enacted this year, so that we can discover the causes of breast cancer, and gain the knowledge needed to prevent it, treat it more effectively, and hopefully, eradicate this disease."
Three million women in the United States are currently living with breast cancer, one million of whom have not yet been diagnosed. On average, over 13,000 new cases of breast cancer are diagnosed each year in New York State, with about 3,000 annual deaths caused by this disease.
The Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act would direct $30 million annually to establish Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Centers of Excellence in order to conduct collaborative research on environmental factors that are linked to breast cancer. It would also establish a panel of experts, including patient advocates, to develop a comprehensive strategy for research in this area.
Several New York universities are already engaging in innovative research in this area. Earlier this year, Senator Clinton visited Cornell University's Sprecher Institute for Comparative Cancer Research and met with researchers from their program on Breast Cancer and Environmental Risk Factors, who are working to translate this research to help women understand and minimize their environmentally-connected risks.
Senator Clinton has long been active in promoting increased research into links between health and the environment. In 2001, she worked with her colleagues on the Environment and Public Works Committee to hold a field hearing in Long Island on the possible links between the environment and breast cancer. She has also introduced the Coordinated Environmental Health Network Act, which would establish a nationwide tracking network to help identify connections between disease and environment, develop a response system for addressing public health threats, and expand the biomonitoring work of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.


text: Posted May 26, 2009 Yeah there is definitely a long way to go. On a Brandon Knight note...I have heard he is not high on Florida at all. There was even a write-up in the Miami Hearld (I think?) about Florida not being one of his top schools. I actually think that you guys have a better shot at Knight than you do Irving but with the factory that Cal is going to have going over there at UK I will find it surprising if the #1 guards go anywhere other than Lexington. I mean you have what the top 3 guards in the last 3 classes all going to play for Cal?? I don't see Knight being different unless a darkhorse like Duke, Syracuse, or maybe even Miami sells him. But you guys are in a good position to land the #1 class in the country for 2010 if you can get Harrison Barnes to commit (more likely than not IMO). A class of Dawkins, Hairston, Thornton, and Barnes would be good enough for top 5 IMO and if you brought in Knight as well that would be the #1 class without a doubt. K's swan song perhaps? He's not coaching that much longer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes, when I am looking for a new book to read, I will head over to Project Gutenberg's author index, pick a letter at random, and browse. Sometimes I will run across an author I've been meaning to read, or a lesser known work by an author I enjoy.
Not too long ago I was browsing the letter W when I came across The House in Good Taste by Elsie de Wolfe. I was excited to find this work by the woman credited as the first interior designer in the U.S., and even more excited when I discovered that some of the ebook formats included the original book's black-and-white photos.
I loaded the Project Gutenberg ebook onto my Sony PRS-505 Reader and settled down to read. My expectation was that the prose would be whimsical and eccentric and I was not disappointed on that count. De Wolfe's 1913 text begins with a passionate endorsement of a burgeoning decorating spirit in the U.S.:
I know of nothing more significant than the awakening of men and women throughout our country to the desire to improve their houses. Call it what you will--awakening, development, American Renaissance--it is a most startling and promising condition of affairs.
I loved trying to imagine this time in history that de Wolfe was describing, when a wave of interest in interior design washes across America, bringing optimism to the land.
The House in Good Taste was intended to be used as a practical handbook, with its guiding principles being "Suitability, Simplicity and Proportion." De Wolfe uses her own grand living quarters as decorating examples throughout the book and frequently mentions--without explanation--a Miss Marbury, who shares her household. De Wolfe's biographers and society gossip columnists of the period identified Miss Elizabeth Marbury as the decorator's lesbian lover.
I often found myself persuaded by de Wolfe's strongly worded opinions on interior design. When I started the book, I held no real opinion about--to use one example--brass beds. But after reading de Wolfe's scathing remarks about brass bed frames ("For the last ten years there has been a dreadful epidemic of brass beds") I've reconsidered the matter and I agree with her they are, to borrow her words, vulgar and ostentatious.
But de Wolfe's dislike for brass beds is as nothing compared to her feelings for nineteenth century black walnut furniture, which she assures "will never be coveted by collectors, unless someone should build a museum for the freakish objects of home furnishing" and "will never be surpassed in ugliness and bad taste." After reading that, I had to go look up mid-Victorian black walnut furniture on eBay. It is incredibly hideous.
When it comes to thinks she likes, de Wolfe is big on the use of trellis work indoors. There is an entire chapter devoted to the subject, called "The Art of Trelliage." The photo reproduced below, taken from the ebook, shows de Wolfe's own "judicious use of trellis." It is an interior motif for which she became famous.

I need to make a 3 or 4 tier round cake to serve 130 people. What size rounds would I make for 3 tiers and 4 tiers?
3 tiers - 6,10 & 14in = 128 servings
4 tiers - 6, 8, 10 & 12in = 130 servings
Those include the top tiers.
this might help from the Wilton site
Thank you!!
I went to the wilton serving size chart and tried to figure it out myself by doing the math but I didn't like what I was coming up with. Both these replies are very helpful!

Baked Beans
Recipe by Ruby15
Aunt Audrey Dewey's Recipe
Top Review by Nimz1466
We really enjoyed these baked beans with our fish tonight. The flavor combo was excellent. I cut the recipe in half for the 2 of us and some left overs for DH using 1 15 oz can of pork and beans and 1 15 oz can of kidney beans. Left out the butter beans as they are not one of our favorites. I cut the onion to one half of a large onion and only used 3 slices of bacon and that was good for us with this recipe. Loved the garlic. This was just excellent. Thanks so much for sharing. Made for PAC Spring 2010 :)

This is the only foundation that I will use. I have combination skin and every other foundation I have tried, no matter the type (liquid, powder, compact), has made me break out. This powder does not make me break out. It is light enough that you cannot tell you are wearing makeup and yet it does its job and covers small imperfections.
I've used this product many times, and love how it covers everything and stays on all day. I highly recommend this product. It never lets me down. I use it on a regular basis.
This coverup powder is effective yes, to cover up dark spots or acne scars... but I'm not too sure if you would consider having your pores blocked effective.
I would not recommend this product for those who are acne pores as it does clog my pores. I only wear it when I have a night not.
Not impressed - I am a MAC girl however I like to try new things as they come out and it just doesn't compare. Doesn't last and comes off easily.
I have been on a hunt for an everyday pressed powder foundation recently and one of the Sephora sales associates recommended this. She matched it to my face in the store - although, its always really hard to tell the true color because of the poor store lighting.
As it turns out, it was WAAAAYYYY too light for me (R230). I am a MAC NC35 for reference. I have now swapped it for a shade higher R250, but I am still having troubles convincing myself that it's a good match to my skin tone.
- looks natural
- buildable without looking cakey
- mineral powder
- has SPF 20
- can get flakey in dry spots
- doesn't conceal redness completely
- poor color range (it alternates from Yellow undertone to Neutral undertone between shades)
- must use their 'Precision Brush' to get a good application (or a similar dense bristle, flat top brush)
Currently undecided on the product. It works, but I would love it more if I could find the perfect match to my skintone. For the price, I am willing to give it a longer try. Probably not something I would recommend and hype up to my friends though.
Didn't blend in well, but it's okay foundation
Long lasting coverage. Doesn't feel like you have a ton of make up on.
Oil control, SPF and decent coverage in one - great to use over a tinted moisturizer. You only need a little bit of powder so one container could last years.
One of my favourites. I have problem area skin and it provides good coverage without looking cakey
I bought this is hopes to have a convenient touch up available when I don't want to carry around the loose Bare Minerals powder and a brush, however, it didn't meet my expectations. It left my skin feeling and looking dry. It looked very cakey, which was surprising considering how amazing the loose powder looks. I tried several different sponge-type applicators, including the ones for the Mac powders. I attempted using the Bare Minerals brush as well and the finish is not as nice as the one achieved from the loose powder.

Glass-Shield Cloaking System is an eBook in Deus Ex: The Fall. It can be found in Yelena Fedorova's room in the Tyrant Jetliner.
The Glass-Shield Cloaking System is composed of a grid of fine induction wires connected to a deep-tissue control implant (typically located in the back or ribcage) which, in turn, is linked to the brain. The matrix can be layered directly beneath the surface of the epidermis or over the plating of cybernetic limbs; when activated, it generates a tuned, fixed-focus electromagnetic field that temporarily adjusts the frequency of EM radiation around the user. The net effect is a 'cloak of invisibility' which appears near-perfect.
