With a technology grant from the Legal Services Corporation, Pine Tree has created three legal aid apps for Android, iPhone, iPod and iPad:
- the National Legal Aid News app
- the National Legal Aid Finder app
- the HelpMELaw app (for Mainers)
They are available from the Google play (for Android), Apple's App Store, and online.
The National Legal Aid News app provides news about legal aid and related programs around the country. News is available for legal aid programs state by state, for national legal centers for low-income people, for the Legal Services Corporation or for all the news. The app will provide the fifty most recent news stories for any state or category.
"National News" gathers news about the Legal Services Corporation and several news topics of general interest. "National Legal Centers" gathers news about national organizations such as the National Consumer Law Center, the National Health Law Program and others. In each state we gather news about programs providing legal assistance to the low-income community. "All The News" selects the fifty most recent news stories from all the news feeds. We gather bad news as well as good news.
The National Legal Aid Finder app provides contact information and website links for legal aid programs around the country. Information is provided on a state by state basis. Initially we provide information on only staff-based programs providing direct representation to low-income clients, but watch for an upgrade to include pro bono programs, as well.
For each program in each state, where such information is available, the Legal Aid Finder app provides a phone number for requesting legal assistance, a phone number to contact the administrative office, and a link to the program website offering self-help information.
The Finder app is available from Google Play (for Android) and is available as a Web App that should function on any smartphone platform iOS, Windows Mobile, Palm, Blackberry or others. In iOS "add to Home Page."
The Maine HelpMELaw app provides interactive contact information and website links for the major statewide legal aid programs in Maine.
This app also features a news feed that delivers the news from all of Maine's statewide legal services programs.
Finally, find some of the most popular online self-help content for Mainers looking for easy-to-access legal information. This content includes, for example:
- "Tips Before Your Rent," from Pine Tree Legal's very popular Rights of Tenants in Maine self-help tool.
- An overview of MaineCare eligibility, "Who's Eligible and Who's Not," from Maine Equal Justice Partners.
- Legal Services for the Elderly's heavily trafficked information on preparing "Powers of Attorney."
- "Voting Rights" from the Maine Disability Rights Center.
The HelpMELaw app is available from Google play (for Android) and will soon be available as a Web App that should function on any smartphone platform: iOS, Windows Mobile, Palm, Blackberry and others. In iOS "add to Home Page."

Sermon: All Saints' Day
Sunday 30 October 2016
The Revd Pete Hobson, Director – Leicester Cathedral Revealed
Mistaken Identities?
(Dan 7.1-3, 15-18, Eph 1.11-end & Luke 6.20-31)
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar. Then the Englishman decides he doesn't like it – so they all have to turn around and head for the door…
Why is that sort of joke supposed to be funny? It's to do with what we associate with particular identities – and there are certainly many punch-lines to that particular opener I wouldn't be using here – or indeed anywhere! Of course, we mostly learn to look beyond those sort of crude stereotypes. But not too far: most of us, if pushed, would probably assert some sort of identity that helps shape how we see ourselves.
I've been listening to the 2016 Reith Lectures on Mistaken Identities by the US philosopher, Kwame Anthony Appiah. Four lectures on our personal identity as shaped by the forces of religion, nationality, race and culture. So far only the first two have been broadcast – and they're well worth a listen, if you're the sort of person who likes to use BBC iPlayer! His overall premise is that each of these four common signifiers of personal identity – religion, nationality, race or culture – can easily hide as much as they can inform.
Appiah's first talk, on religious identity, takes the somewhat relativist view that religious truth is essentially a malleable concept and that appeals to orthodoxy as revealed in religious texts – such as the Bible or the Qu'ran are very changeable things. I'm not wanting to argue the toss on that here and now, but alongside that he also made the point that for most of us orthodoxy – believing the right things – is less important than orthopraxy – doing the right things. And also that for most of us both of those find their expression not in solitary belief or action – but in community. Which brings us back to identity. We define ourselves, in part, by those we choose to associate with.
So here we are this morning, all busy associating with each other in this particular congregation; listening to readings from our Scriptures; saying or singing certain things together; and perhaps (though that's harder to tell) walking out of here at the end and living our lives in certain common ways.
So at the risk of making his point for him, I'd like to see what our Scriptures offer us by way of inspiration this All Saints festival. Three different types of writing, with, I suggest, one common thread of Identity.
Daniel 7 is written into a context where Israel is in captivity in Babylon, and identity is both very clear – that of a slave nation – and also very uncertain – at the whim of the conquering nation. The dream of the 'four great beasts' is clearly explained as describing the global political scene of the day – and beyond it. How can God's special people, threatened and captive, think to survive in a world cast askew on the storms of mighty armies and movements. Probably much as the refugees just displaced form Calais jungle feel today. The answer is that their identity as God's special people – "the holy ones of the Most High" – does give them a security and protection that lies above and beyond all that earthly uncertainty. How comforting that actually felt in the face to day-to-day realities may be another matter. But it was god's word to them through Daniel.
Turning now to Paul writing to the Ephesian Christians in the early decades of the church, they too were a small minority of a minority, in a hostile world, ruled by emperors who were at best ignorant of them, and at worst – think Nero – out to get them. Many of them still saw themselves as Jews, albeit ones who had a new insight into how God was redeeming their people. Others were gentiles become Christians, and it was just beginning go dawn on them all that maybe something new – beyond Jew and gentile – was emerging. Paul's opening words to them here set a cosmic scene of who Jesus Christ is – and who they are in the new inheritance and identity "in Christ" (v11). He goes out of his way to emphasise that they belong to him who is "far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but in the age to come" (v21). Again, we don't know how it felt to be on the receiving end of those words – but it's very clear what is being claimed by them.
And so to the words of Jesus himself, from Luke's version of the Sermon on the Mount, in chapter 6. Jesus, as so often, takes the more directly personal approach, with a series of Blesseds and a series of Woes. Who are we? We are the strange people who love our enemies, and who pray for those who abuse us. We are the ones who give to others. We are the people who are willing to weep now, and laugh later, to be hungry now, and be filled later. We are the mad people, who live in a way diametrically opposed to the ways of the world. We do as we would be done by, not do as they did to us.
That's an identity, is it not? Not based on nationality, or colour, or culture. Not really based on religion either. But based on citizenship of somewhere not to be found on this world's values. We are defined as citizens of Heaven, and ours is the kingdom of God.
At its best the church does look and feel like that – a community of people not just believing differently, but living differently, and doing it as a community together. Of course, at its worst we can be indistinguishable from the rest – factional, inconsiderate and selfish. Or worse.
We live in a world where all the traditional identities are breaking down – so it's no longer enough to identify ourselves as mainly English, Irish or Scottish; black, white or coloured; religious, agnostic or atheist; CofE , Methodist, Catholic; working or middle-class; straight or gay. In this confused and confusing world, there is an alternative to reducing everything to pure individualism of "if it makes me feel good, then I'll do it". We belong to a community, to a movement – to a Kingdom – that offers us another, and better identity. One that, I suggest that need not be mistaken, but instead is the best, most sensible, most life-giving choice a human can make. We are all the Saints who belong to Christ. And Christ belongs to God. And everything, ultimately, belongs to him.
An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman walked into heaven. And who they had been really didn't matter anymore compared with who they had become. Because in God's Kingdom, All Saints are valued the same!

This long-awaited monograph by the former field director of the investigations at Florence Cathedral arrives nearly forty years after both the major excavations beneath the cathedral and Franklin Toker's extensive and brilliant excavation report published in 1975.1 It is part of the Florence Dome Project, which envisages the appearance of four volumes related to the diachronic history and the longue durée of this important monument. Known as Santa Maria del Fiore, the cathedral is the result of a series of building campaigns carried out from the end of the thirteenth century to the late fifteenth century under the guidance of celebrated architects and artists such as Arnolfo di Cambio, Francesco Talenti, Filippo Brunelleschi, and Giotto. The Baptistery of San Giovanni corresponds more or less to the same chronological span, since its main building and decorative components date back to the period between the second half of the eleventh century and the beginning of the sixteenth. The history of the complex, however, is rooted in deeper history: corresponding to the western part of Santa Maria del Fiore, in Late Antiquity there stood the first Florentine ecclesia episcopalis. A first phase of the baptistery is likely to belong to this church, although our understanding of its chronology remains problematic. The earliest ecclesia underwent major structural changes in the course of the ninth century. In 852, it appears in written sources as domus sancti Iohanni, while a document from 987 mentions its dedication to Santa Reparata. The church of Santa Maria del Fiore that was built over this earlier structure became one of the most important architectural monuments of medieval Europe.
The excavations, conducted from 1969 to 1974, reach their final conclusion in this volume. In addition to the excavations that he oversaw himself, Toker examines earlier archaeological investigations that were conducted at the site starting in the late nineteenth century. He also includes the "informal excavations," which began in 1331 on the initiative of the Bishop Francesco Salvestri, and in which were found (according to their medieval chronicler Giovanni Villani) the remains of Saint Zenobius, an important bishop of the church of Florence in the late fourth and early fifth centuries.
The book is divided into three main parts, each organized into multiple chapters. The first part of the book, "Excavated Structures," includes a helpful timeline and an extensive section documenting the cathedral and its baptistery in color photography. Here, Toker rightfully describes the Baptistery of San Giovanni as "among the most enigmatic buildings in Europe" in terms of its original form and building chronology. He provides a very useful and substantial review of all previous investigations of the monument and attributes its original construction to the early Middle Ages. Toker's proposal that the baptistery was an auxiliary to Santa Reparata rather than to Santa Maria del Fiore is a very important point, since the presence of a baptistery in close relation to the first church, likely in the sixth century, seems to confirm that this complex as a whole must have been the insula episcopalis, the main episcopal church of the city.
Part I ends with an extensive, detailed analysis of Santa Maria del Fiore and Santa Reparata, moving backward from the most recent material to Roman times. This analysis is the largest and most important part of the book, providing a new understanding of the building's formal evolution and historical context. The discussion is enriched by ground plans, elevation drawings, and other helpful illustrations, many of which originated in connection with the site's excavations in the 1970s. Toker carefully examines the Late Antique building fabric, emphasizing the uncertainty of its dedication date while at the same time upholding the plausibility of its dedication to Santa Reparata. A central find from the original building is one of the biggest and most significant mosaic floors in all of Italy, located in an apsidal interior divided into three aisles by two rows of columns, an arrangement common to Late Antique episcopal complexes. Based on the correspondence of the results from radiocarbon dating to epigraphic considerations of the donor inscriptions in the mosaic floor, Toker proposes a sixth-century date for the original church building. The subsequent early medieval phase involved major structural and planimetric changes, wherein the building was expanded with side chapels and a crypt. This expansion likely reflects significant investments on the part of Carolingian elites, whose intention could be described as the renewal of the postclassical city. Such investment would have occurred in spite of socioeconomic policies that, at least in Tuscany, had by the ninth century onward diverted spending to rural areas.
The smaller second and third parts of the book may be of less direct interest to architectural historians, but they offer useful considerations for the chronology and use of the buildings and their phases. The second section, "Excavated Artefacts," is a collaboration among several medieval archaeologists and art historians, who examine all of the finds from the excavations. The section begins with a methodological introduction by Toker, which is followed by specialized discussions focusing on the ceramic and numismatic finds as well as art historical analyses of paintings and sculptures from various eras spanning Roman through early medieval contexts. The final part of the book, "Application of Archaeological Science," presents a very useful study of issues related to archaeometrical analysis. The first two chapters of this part, which are coauthored by several scholars, follow a diachronic and archaeological approach to provide a detailed overview of the absolute chronologies inferred from the stratigraphic analyses of the various phases of Santa Reparata. The authors support a dating of the earliest construction of the church building to the sixth century, and indeed samples from the mosaic floor may conclusively exclude an alternative dating to the second half of the fourth century. In addition, anthropological studies of the remains found in the graveyards (most notably those of Filippo Brunelleschi) provide interesting insight into the daily life of medieval Florence and its inhabitants. The book ends with a concise but exhaustive summary of the technological applications employed in the study, including dendrochronology, thermoluminescence, archaeomagnetism, and metallurgy.
To sum up, Toker and the numerous other scholars who have contributed to this volume provide an authoritative overview of, and compelling conclusion to, centuries of archaeological campaigns. This book will be a fundamental point of reference for researchers interested in the Florence Cathedral and, more generally, Roman to Renaissance Florence. Moreover, it sets a brilliant example for archaeologists and historians of art and architecture wishing to collaborate across disciplines to create successful diachronic analyses of important monuments and sites of long duration.

Las secciones de crédito en el ordenamiento jurídico español
A credit section is an economic and functional demarcation within a co-operative that, without having an independent juridical personality out of the co-operative it belongs, operates as a financial entity, limiting its active and passive operations to the co-operative and its members. The credit sections are recognized by all the autonomical co-operative laws and they have been especially regulated in Catalonia and the Valencian Community. The regulation contained in the Ley de Cooperativas 27/1999 (Law of Co-operatives 27/1999) clearly restricts the subjective and objective field of activity of the credit sections, but it does not limit the action sphere of co-operatives governed by the autonomical legislation. The main problem raised by the credit sections derives from its lack of juridical personality and not from the fact that they are not considered as credit entities.

Jean Toussaint (ts) Mark Kavuma (t) Ashley Henry (p) Daniel Casimir (b) Femi Koleoso (d)
Since saxophonist Jean Toussaint left Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, he hasn't looked back. Nor has he spent a career trying to repeat the past. The experiences gained in that world-class hothouse have enabled him to push forward and embrace challenging and often high profile musical collaborations in many different jazz styles. Today he works out of London as a band leader/composer, and educator.
Born in the Caribbean, Toussaint studied at Berklee with peers Branford Marsalis, Greg Osby, Jeff 'Tain' Watts and others. He joined Blakey in 1982 and toured and recorded with him for four years with fellow band members Lonnie Plexico, Terence Blanchard, Mulgrew Miller and Donald Harrison. Based in New York with the Messengers, Toussaint regularly led the jam sessions at the famous Blue Note club.
Initially invited to teach at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Toussaint came to London in 1987 and still uses the city as his base. He has released 10 CDs as a Leader and guested on many more. Collaborations with musicians based in the UK have included Bheki Mseleku, Julian Joseph, Jason Rebello, Cleveland Watkiss, Steve Williamson, Orphy Robinson and others. Toussaint is also invited to join tours with US musicians visiting Europe: he has played with Wynton Marsalis, McCoy Tyner and the Gil Evans Orchestra. In the last couple of years, he has played North Sea Festival (Den Haag), The New Morning (Paris), Montreux Festival (Switzerland), Clermont Ferrand Festival (France), Cork Festival (Ireland) as well as many clubs and theatres. He still teaches at Guildhall, and also at Trinity and Birmingham Conservatory. Jean has played at Swanage several times in the past few years, most recently with his tribute to Art Blakey. In the tradition of his mentor, brings his latest group of brilliant young musicians to the Festival.

You are here
Benicar is a brand name for the drug olmesartan medoxomil, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that has been used for the treatment of high blood pressure. It works as relaxing the blood vessels for easy blood flow. The drug is made and sold by Forest Laboratories and Daiichi Sankyo. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved this drug in April 2002. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
Major side effects of Benicar:
- Severe, chronic diarrhea, substantial weight loss and fatigue.
- Sprue-like enteropathy - A potential side effect linked with Benicar, a disease with combination of symptoms like diarrhea, weight loss, and erosion of villi within the small intestine, which can disturb absorption of nutrients. This leads to malnourishment, which can cause other digestive problems.
Less severe side effects of Benicar:
- Dizziness
- Joint or muscle pain.
- Stomach pain, nausea, vomiting
- Weakness
Lawsuit Allegations:
On July 03, 2013, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a warning to the manufacturer of Benicar. The warning stated that the side effects of this drug were not disclosed to patients as well as the prescribers that this drug can cause intestinal problems known as sprue-like enteropathy (severe, chronic diarrhea with substantial weight loss). As result of its evaluation, the FDA announced that olmesartan drugs would update their label to include the risk of sprue-like enteropathy. In April 2015, Daiichi Sankyo settled a case filed by the U.S. Department of Justice for $39 million. The fine was paid by a subsidiary of Daiichi Sankyo for paying physicians to promote and prescribe the drug. Many consumers are filing a lawsuit against the company for the adverse effects they have suffered after the ingestion of this drug.
Evidence to be looked for in potential cases
- Usage of Benicar and other statins in Pharmacy Records.
- Duration of Benicar usage in Medical Records.
- Proof of injury and Treatment provided for injuries
Medical Record Review and claim validation of Benicar case should take approximately 3 hours in most instances; however, this approximation may vary in cases based on the volume of records.

WIN 7 PRO x64
to HUDE again, I said that I ASSUMED that it might be the new motherboard due to the wide range of problems that I had experienced, It was not. Sometimes when everything goes wrong and we ASSUME that we did everything correctly we start looking at other possibilities too soon. It's best to stay focused on the most likely possibility and not go looking at every possible thing that seldom happens.
Remember that assume means 'makes an A$$ of U and ME'. so don't worry about everything.
If you feel that overclocking may caused the problem, then reset your MB to it's safest defaults in the BIOS.
However, please at least find out what type of hard drives you have.

When your Mercedes-Benz CLK320 left the factory, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who wants European styling in their automobile. You bought your CLK320 because its a reputation for strength and German engineering struck a chord inside you; so why would you be okay with second rate when it comes to great quality auto parts? While it's not hard to buy replacement parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to maintain your automobile. Mercedes-Benz automobile drivers have come to expect a certain level of a reputation for strength when driving their CLK320 around town.
Your engine's electrical parts are critical for regular daily operation. Your Mercedes-Benz CLK320 alternator has a pulley that spins as the crankshaft spins because they are both connected by a drive belt. Inside that alternator, a constant supply of current for your car or truck is generated as a pair of metal claws and brushes spin around a coil; creating a powerful electromagnetic field. The energy from your alternator continuously charges the battery, and at the same time distributes current to the interior electronics, lights and turn signals, and any other electronic part on your Mercedes-Benz CLK320.
Don't let a Alternator repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by using anything but the highest quality repair parts. Ordering new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement CLK320 parts on the internet.

Studies on xylogenesis focus essentially on the stem, whereas there is basically no information about the intra-annual growth of other parts of the tree. As roots strongly influence carbon allocation and tree development, knowledge of the dynamics of xylem production and maturation in roots at a short time scale is required for a better understanding of the phenomenon of tree growth. This study compared cambial activity and xylem formation in stem and roots in two conifers of the boreal forest in Canada.
Wood microcores were collected weekly in stem and roots of ten Abies balsamea and ten Picea mariana during the 2004–2006 growing seasons. Cross-sections were cut using a rotary microtome, stained with cresyl violet acetate and observed under visible and polarized light. The number of cells in the cambial zone and in differentiation, plus the number of mature cells, was counted along the developing xylem.
Xylem formation lasted from the end of May to the end of September, with no difference between stem and roots in 2004–2005. On the contrary, in 2006 a 1-week earlier beginning of cell differentiation was observed in the stem, with cell wall thickening and lignification in roots ending up to 22 d later than in the stem. Cell production in the stem was concentrated early in the season, in June, while most cell divisions in roots occurred 1 month later.
The intra-annual dynamics of growth observed in stem and roots could be related to the different amount of cells produced by the cambium and the patterns of air and soil temperature occurring in spring.
Several studies have recently investigated tree-ring growth in conifers (Deslauriers et al., 2003; Schmitt et al., 2004; Deslauriers and Morin, 2005; Dufour and Morin, 2007; Ko Heinrichs et al., 2007; Rossi et al., 2007). Cambial activity and xylem formation have been widely analysed, describing the dynamics of xylem development and cell differentiation over time (Rossi et al., 2006a; Deslauriers et al., 2008) and relating tree growth with endogenous (Ladefoged, 1952; Rossi et al., 2008a) or environmental factors (Rossi et al., 2006b; Rossi et al., 2007; Seo et al., 2008). However, all these studies essentially focused on stem growth. There is basically no information about the intra-annual growth of the other parts of the tree.
In trees, the root system is one of the main carbon sinks and constitutes a significant part of the plant biomass, monopolizing >50 % of the whole metabolism (Troeng and Linder, 1982). Although root growth can strongly influence carbon allocation and tree development (Fayle, 1968), little knowledge is available about root xylem formation at a short time scale. Some authors illustrated primary and secondary root tissues in vascular plants by anatomical observations without describing their development (Denne, 1972; Krause and Eckstein, 1993; Krause and Morin, 1999). Despite the well-known differences in anatomy and physiology between stem and roots (Panshin and de Zeeuw, 1970; Savidge, 2000), the mechanisms of xylogenesis and the factors involved in regulating cell formation are supposed to be similar in these two parts of a tree (Catesson, 1994; Larson, 1994). A longer period of cambial activity is assumed to occur in roots than in the stem, although this information is based mainly on 1-year-long monitoring of Pinus strobus that lacks details about sampling and methodology employed (Stevens, 1931).
At the moment, the available information about the onset of cambial activity and xylem production in the different parts of trees is contradictory and often based on hypotheses never confirmed or rejected. According to Zimmermann and Brown (1971) and Funada et al. (2002), cambial activity should reactivate first close to buds and propagate basipetally, so that the cambium in roots should be the last meristem to start. Other authors instead affirmed that the progression of cambial onset in conifers presents no clear pattern or direction (Savidge and Wareing, 1984; Riding and Little, 1986; Savidge, 2000). The progression of the ending of cambial activity is also still controversial. Some investigations found that cambial activity ceased later at the base than at the top of the tree (Riding and Little, 1986). However, other authors proposed a different behaviour; in autumn, the reverse process would begin when the base of the tree becomes dormant and the pattern would propagate acropetally up to the top of the crown (Zimmermann and Brown, 1971; Kozlowski and Pallardy, 1997; Vaganov et al., 2006). As far as is known, no definitive pattern of onset and ending of xylem formation has been demonstrated in the various parts of trees.
The aim of this study was to analyse and compare cambial activity and xylem formation in the stem and roots of two North American conifers in order to assess the specific pattern of xylem differentiation in the different parts of the tree. Repetitive micro-samplings and histological analyses of the developing xylem were used to describe the phenology of cambial activity and timing of intra-annual tree-ring growth over three growing seasons in the boreal forest.
The study was conducted on Abies balsamea (L.) Mill. and Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P. growing in two stands located 400 m apart and established after a forest fire in the early 1920s (Gagnon, 1989). The study sites were at Lac Simoncouche (48°12′N, 71°14′W, 350 m a.s.l., Québec, Canada), in the southern part of the boreal zone, in the balsam fir–white birch ecological region. The mean annual temperature recorded at the sites in 2004–2006 was 2·2 °C, with a mean annual precipitation of 984 mm.
Every year, ten A. balsamea and ten P. mariana with homogeneous diameters were chosen (Table 1). Trees with polycormic stems, partially dead crowns, reaction wood or evident damage were avoided. Trees were chosen from 20 pre-selected trees after having assessed growth rate homogeneity by counting the number of tracheids in the tree rings of three preceding growing seasons on microcores (Antonova and Stasova, 1997; Deslauriers et al., 2003).
Tree-ring formation was studied weekly from May to November for 3 years, from 2004 to 2006. Limited access to the study sites and important snow cover did not allow sampling before May. In each tree, wood microcores (2 mm in diameter and 15–20 mm in length) were collected on the stem and on two main roots using surgical bone marrow sampling needles (DBMNI-1501 inter-V médical). Microcores contained phloem, cambium, the developing annual xylem and at least three preceding tree rings. In the stem, samples were taken at breast height (1·3 m) following a spiral pattern (Deslauriers et al., 2003). Spacing between samples was at least 2–8 cm horizontally and 2–3 cm vertically in order to minimize formation of wounds or resin ducts (Forster et al., 2000). In the root system, samples were taken every 3 cm following a sinuous pattern, beginning about 25 cm from the stump and only in the upper parts because of the eccentric growth of the roots. Microcores were placed in a solution of ethanol and water (for P. mariana) or left to air dry (for A. balsamea) and stored at 5 °C in order to avoid tissue deterioration of the cambial zone.
Microcores were dehydrated in successive immersions in ethanol and Histo-Clear™ and embedded in paraffin according to Rossi et al. (2006a). Transverse sections, 7 µm thick, were cut with a rotary microtome, stained with cresyl violet acetate (0·16 % in water), placed on slides and gently stretched with a fine needle. About 3500 sections were observed under visible and polarized light at ×400–500 (according to the quality of the sections) to distinguish the cells in the cambial zone and the differentiating xylem. The number of cells in the cambial zone, in radial enlargement, in cell wall thickening and the number of mature cells were counted along three radial files (Fig. 1A). In the cambial zone, cells had small radial diameters and thin walls (Skene, 1969; Antonova and Stasova, 1997; Fig. 1B–D). Cells in radial enlargement were larger than cambial cells with thin violet walls that were not birefringent under polarized light (Kutscha et al., 1975) (Fig. 1A). Cells in wall thickening were birefringent under polarized light and showed violet and blue walls (Abe et al., 1997). Walls of cells in secondary wall thickening changed from light violet, at the start of the process, to blue, when maturation was complete. Lignification was characterized by the appearance of a blue colour in the middle lamella that spread into secondary walls of the differentiating tracheids (Fig. 1A). Xylem tracheids were considered lignified and mature when walls were completely blue (Rossi et al., 2006b).
The cell number in the three radial files was averaged for each tree and used to assess onset, duration and ending of the two phases of xylogenesis (radial enlargement and wall thickening). Each phase of xylogenesis was considered to occur when at least two radial files out of three showed cells in the given phase.
The width of annual rings varied within the tree circumference and along stem and roots and, consequently, among the different samples (Schmitt et al., 2004). According to Rossi et al. (2003), the number of cells of the three previous years was counted on three radial files per sample and used to standardize the cell number around the circumference and along the roots. A ratio was obtained for each sample by dividing the mean cell number of the sample by the mean cell number of all samples per tree. The number of cells in each xylogenesis phase was then multiplied by the ratio to standardize the data according to the sample's relative position on the stem or roots (Deslauriers et al., 2003). According to the relative position of the sample, the standardized number of cells in each j-sample and i-phase (ncij) was calculated as:
where nij was the number of cells counted, aj the mean cell number of the previous rings for each j-sample, N the number of j-samples and am the mean cell number of previous rings of all j-samples.
To compare the date of onset and ending of xylem tracheids differentiation between species and sampling location, a multifactor analysis of variance (MANOVA) was performed using the General Linear Models Procedure in SAS® (SAS Institute, Inc.). Before the analysis, data were examined to verify the normality of distribution and homogeneity of the variances (Quinn and Keough, 2002).
In order to assess dynamics of radial growth, the number of tracheids over time was fitted with the Gompertz function using JMP IN® 5·1 (SAS Institute, Inc.). For each factor (species, sampling location and year), the three parameters of the function were estimated by minimizing the sum of squared deviations between each observation and the predicted values by the fitted regression model. The Gompertz function was defined as:
where y is the weekly cumulative sum of tracheids, t the time of the year computed in Julian days, A the function asymptote and β and κ the x-axis placement and rate of change parameters, respectively. From each estimated function, the period of culmination of growth rate corresponding to the inflection point (tp) was calculated as the ratio between β and κ.
Similar annual dynamics were observed in the cambial zone of stem and roots of A. balsamea and P. mariana during 2004–2006 (Fig. 2). Without cell production, corresponding to the period from the end of August until the beginning of May, the vascular cambium consisted of for or five cells in both stem and roots (horizontal dotted line in Fig. 2). In May, the number of cambial cells increased to seven to nine, reaching a maximum between June and July. The number of cells in the cambial zone increased before the presence of tracheids in radial enlargement. In some cases, the number of cambial cells at the start of the sampling exceeded the minimum number of dormant cells. For example, the cambial zone in roots of A. balsamea in 2006 consisted of six or seven cells at the first sampling day (2 May or day of the year 122), whereas fewer than five cells defined the cambial zone during dormancy. After mid-July, the number of cambial cells gradually decreased until the end of August and, from September, was observed to remain constant.
In the three studied years, the onset of cell radial enlargement, corresponding to the beginning of xylem differentiation, varied from 19 May to 31 May and was synchronized between stem and roots in 2004 and 2005 (Tables 2 and and3).3). However, in 2006 cell enlargement in the stem started before that in roots (MANOVA, F = 11·10, P = 0·016, Table 3). In the stem, the highest values of enlarging cells (three or four) were observed between June and mid-July, while the greatest numbers of enlarging cells in roots were observed during July. The end of radial enlargement occurred in mid-August in both the stem and root.
The onset of wall thickening occurred in June, earlier in the stem than in roots (Fig. 3). In the stem, the highest values of wall thickening cells were 10–12 for A. balsamea and 8–10 for P. mariana, observed at the end of July. In roots, the highest values of wall thickening were observed between August and September, with eight to ten and five or six tracheids in A. balsamea and P. mariana, respectively. The ending of cell wall thickening and lignification, corresponding to the end of xylem differentiation, occurred in the last days of September, in the same periods for stem and roots during 2004 and 2005 (Table 3). However, different endings of cell wall thickening were observed between the sample locations in 2006 (MANOVA, F = 10·35, P = 0·0022; Table 3) and statistically significant interactions with species (MANOVA, F = 4·36, P = 0·0417; Table 3).
The patterns of tree-ring growth were examined in both stem and roots of A. balsamea and P. mariana (Fig. 4). The Gompertz function adequately fitted the observations, with R2 varying between 0·90 and 0·99 (Table 4), whereby roots showed slightly lower values than stems. Although the onset of xylem production was synchronous between the two sampling locations in 2004 and 2005, the patterns of growth clearly differed in stem and roots. Most tracheids were produced in June in the stem, while cell production occurred during July in roots; the date of the inflection point of the Gompertz equations was calculated at 20 June in the stem (day of the year 171), on average 30 d before that in roots (parameter tp; Table 4), indicating an early decline of the rate of cell production in the stem. Similarly, 50 % of the tracheids produced were delayed and achieved at the end of June in stems and at the beginning of August in roots.
According to the asymptote of the fitted function (parameter A; Table 4), at the end of the growing season, the number of tracheids along a radial file in the stem of A. balsamea and P. mariana was 41·7 and 23·3, respectively. In roots, higher amounts of tracheids were observed (up to 75 % more than in the stem), except for A. balsamea in 2005, when a similar number of cells was counted in autumn. This observation was especially pronounced for cell production in roots of P. mariana in 2006.
In the last decade, many studies have been conducted on intra-annual wood formation in both conifer and broadleaf species, but none, as far as is known, concerned xylogenesis in roots. This investigation described and compared cell production and differentiation between stem and roots in two boreal forest species during three growing seasons. The results revealed similar xylem phenologies in 2004–2005, but delayed endings of cell differentiation in roots compared with the stem in 2006. The production of xylem was concentrated in the stem early in the season, while most cell divisions occurred 1 month later in roots.
Cambial reactivation is assumed to be promoted by auxin, produced in the younger shoots and exported basipetally along the stem to induce the production of xylem (Larson, 1969; Aloni, 2001) and regulate xylem development (Tuominen et al., 1997; Uggla et al., 1998). Following the basipetal movement of the auxin, periclinal divisions in the cambium should begin close to buds, spread downwards toward branches and stem and finally occur in the roots (Larson, 1969; Denne, 1979; Lachaud et al., 1999). However, in this study no pattern in the direction of the progression of the onset of cambial activity was observed between stem and roots in the two studied species, suggesting that the auxin required for cambial resumption could already be available in the dormant tissues before spring (Little and Wareing, 1981; Sundberg et al., 1991).
The hypotheses on the direction of cessation of cambial activity and xylem production through the different plant tissues are still contradictory (Zimmermann and Brown, 1971; Riding and Little, 1986; Vaganov et al., 2006). In the present investigation, the ending of xylem differentiation occurred in similar periods in 2004–2005, but in 2006 a longer period of xylem formation was observed in roots than in the stem. This longer differentiation period in the developing root tissues corresponded to a higher number of xylem cells produced, particularly in P. mariana. The ending of latewood differentiation is related to cell production in vascular cambium; the higher the number of cells produced along a radial row, the longer the overall period of tree ring formation becomes (Gričar et al., 2005, Rossi et al., 2008a). Incorporation of wall constituents in latewood cells is an energy-expensive process for a tree and wall thickening and lignification can require up to 40 d for a xylem tracheid (Rossi et al., 2006b). The greatest number of cells produced by roots in 2006 led to a higher accumulation of developing cells in differentiation and delayed the conclusion of xylem maturation.
The onset of xylem production occurred early in the season and terminated at the end of August, at temperatures still favourable for growth. This could indicate a different physiological mechanism involved in controlling xylem phenology at the beginning and ending of growth, with effects of both internal and external factors on cambial activity. Thermal sums are known to precisely estimate the beginning of growth (Schmitt et al., 2004; Seo et al., 2008) and Rossi et al. (2007) assessed a threshold temperature limiting spring carbon allocation in xylem of Alpine treeline trees, which suggests an important influence of temperature on cambial reactivation in these environments. On the contrary, the cessation of cell production is unrelated to the annual temperature trend (S. Rossi et al., 2008). Rossi et al. (2006b) observed that the growth rate in the stem culminated during the summer solstice, when the photoperiod was maximum. However, this work reports a different growth pattern in roots, with delays of up to 1 month for the culmination of growth in the soil. At the end of cell division, high amounts of abscisic acid were detected in stems and associated with the termination of cell production (Lachaud, 1989), but proof that abscisic acid directly induces cambial dormancy is still lacking.
In the boreal forest, temperature is the main factor driving xylogenesis during spring (Antonova and Stasova, 1997; Vaganov et al., 1999; Deslauriers and Morin, 2005). Vascular cambium is a sink for non-structural carbohydrates, and cambial activity requires a continuous supply of energy in the form of sucrose, extracted from the storage tissues for the first formed cells, or produced by photosynthesis (Hansen and Beck, 1994; Oribe et al., 2003). Temperature allows the metabolism of carbon allocation to be accomplished (Körner, 1998). Although cell differentiation was estimated to begin in the same period at both sample locations, stem and roots concentrated most xylem production in two different periods of the year, with earlier tracheid accumulation observed in the stem. In spring, air temperature increases sharply in May–June, although the soil temperature remains close to zero during snowmelt and is observed to increase at least 2 weeks later than the air (Rossi et al., 2007). This delayed temperature increase in the soil could explain the different patterns of xylem growth observed between stem and roots.
Further investigations should be interesting to follow the reactivation of the cambial zone during the spring. In the present study, sampling only started at the beginning of May and approximately within half of the observations, the number of cambial cells exceeded the minimum number counted at the end of the previous year. As reported in the literature, physiological processes occurred in the cambial zone before cell division is observed (Frankenstein et al., 2005). However, the present method did not allow the observation of structural modifications in the cambial zone in order to identify the onset of cell production according to Frankenstein et al. (2005).
In conclusion, the xylem of stem and roots in A. balsamea and P. mariana showed similar periods of cell differentiation during 2004–2006, but with different intra-annual growth dynamics. This behaviour could be related to internal and external factors such as the amount of cells produced by the vascular cambium and the different patterns of air and soil temperature in spring.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — A noisy pile driver began pounding away on a construction site in the Pearl District Wednesday morning, just over a month after protesters tried blocking the developer from using it.
The Hoyt Street Properties project Block 20 on NW 10th Avenue is right by Chapman Elementary School, where blankets and wooden posts were put up to curb noise from the incessant pounding.
Parents of the nearly 100 children who attend the school and some nearby residents called on Hoyt Street Properties to use a quieter piece of equipment called an auger instead of a pile driver.
Protester Mary Sipe previously told KOIN 6 News, over the last 2 1/2 years, 13 developers have responded to neighbors' concerns with pile drivers and used augers instead. But she said Hoyt Street Properties wasn't as willing to compromise.
"We have in writing… that their decision was because of the cost," she said.
However, Hoyt Street Properties said soil conditions, not cost, influenced its decision. Using a pile driver would give Block 20 the safest foundation, the developer said.
Now that pile driving at the construction zone has begun, neighbors say they're having trouble sleeping and are becoming concerned about building stability.
"It woke us all up, everyone on our floor got up," Pearl District resident Gabriel Rivera said. "Everyone, I think, thought one of the buildings started to collapse."
Other neighbors say the pounding has been shaking appliances and shelves and scaring their pets. Some people have started to wear noise-canceling headphones.
While Rivera says he understands that ongoing construction is part of life in Portland, he's shocked the city is allowing such a high level of noise.
Neighbors have asked commissioners to limit the use of the pile driver.
The noise review board sent a proposal to Commissioner Amanda Fritz to do just that in September. KOIN 6 News reached out to her for comment but did not hear back.

The house has now been divided into two separate houses, with a common entrance. The east wing is occupied by the Pereira-Braganza family, which has a small chapel with relics of St. Francis Xavier. It also has artifacts, collected by the family over a number of years. The house also has a large ballroom and a Salon. Tiles from Portugal, antique chandeliers from Europe and beautifully carved, ornate rosewood furniture adds to the beauty of the house. A few things which give a distinct look to the house include a pair of high-backed chairs, which has the family crest, which was given to the Pereira-Braganza family by King Dom Luis of Portugal. Most of the furniture items set in the house date back to the 18th century and have been prepared using local seeso (martel wood) and lacquered with mother of pearl by craftsmen from Curtorim village. The house also has many items coming from antique aficionados.
The west wing of the house belongs to the Menezes Braganza family.

Robert Downey Jr. To Star in 3D Sci-Fi Film Gravity 2010-03-15 07:30:00
Robert Downey Jr. to Try Defying Gravity
The Iron Man is going to blast off! Robert Downey Jr. has lined up his next big blockbuster: the actor is in talks to star in Gravity, a sci-fi film directed by Alfonso Cuaron.
This is just the latest in Downey Jr.'s string of action flicks — Iron Man 2 is out May 7, and he starts shooting the sequel to Sherlock Holmes this Fall. Bonus: Gravity will go somewhere (besides space) the actor hasn't gone before: it'll be in 3D! RDJ will play the leader of a group of astronauts who is left alone in orbit with a female colleague when his team is destroyed by an exploded satellite. Angelina Jolie was reportedly attached to the costar role, but has since dropped out.
I have no trouble envisioning RDJ in the part since he's already proved to be one of my favorite action stars. What say you?


text: Three years ago, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, and Helen Mirren starred in Red, a movie about retired spies who get called back into work, even though they're all too old for this shit. Now, in Red 2, they're even older for this shit, and they get pulled back into action again, with even more actors who are too old for this shit. Shit, presumably, ensues.

Canon Thornton, Rector of Little Downham
Photo courtesy of the Cambridgeshire Collection, Cambridge Central Library
Canon F.F.M.S. Thornton.
Frederick Ferdinand Martin Schleicher Thornton was Rector of Downham from 1892 to 1907. He was born in Hamburg in 1846. In his youth, he travelled extensively in Europe, America and Australia.
He was ordained deacon in 1872 and became curate of Ringmer, in Sussex, where he was made a priest in 1873. He left Ringmer in 1874 to become vicar of Preston Deanery in Northamptonshire, where he remained for four years – during this time (1875-76) he also studied at Trinity College, Dublin. He then moved to St Sepulchre's Church, Northampton, between 1878-1890. He was chaplain to the County Hospital, Northampton Prison and the Northamptonshire Regiment. During his tenure, in 1879, he married Harriet Emily Woolston, the daughter of a Wellingborough brewer.
The couple had five children. The only girl, Caroline Emily, died of teething convulsions in 1884, aged 10 months. Two sons – the eldest, Major F.E.Thornton, a professional soldier, and the youngest, A.C.Thornton – died in the First World War. F.E.Thornton died in 1917 leading his Indian Regiment against the Turks in Mesopotamia and Pte.A.C.Thornton, who had emigrated to Canada, died fighting for his adopted country in 1915. He was a good linguist and had been posted to the front as a 'listener' to report back on German plans. He was grievously injured when he was blown up – he was operated on at a British clearing station on the French/Belgian border, had a leg amputated but died four days later.
Another son worked in the City and the fourth also became a Major. B.M.Thornton served with the then Ordnance Corps on the Somme, Ypres and in Italy. He was awarded the MC in 1918.
Rev Thornton was made a Canon of Ely in 1890 and was the Special Missioner for the Diocese of Ely from 1890 to 1919. The London Daily News of 31 March 1892 reported that he 'has accepted the living of Little Downham'.
Ely Remembrancer, August-September 1897, St Leonard's Church, Downham, carried reports on the Bible Class excursion to London. 'On 10 July, the Rector took the Bible Class to London for the day. The whole day was spent in sight-seeing from one end of London to the other. The Bank of England, Mansion House, St Paul's Cathedral, Charing Cross, Trafalgar Square, Horse Guards, St James' Park, House of Lords, House of Commons, Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London were all visited.' The party then took a steamer on the Thames and saw various bridges 'including the new Tower Bridge' (opened in 1894) – finally, they rode on top of an Omnibus which took them back to Liverpool Street Station 'whence they reached home again after a very happy and instructive day'.
The Rev Canon Thornton was interviewed by Rider Haggard (the author of 'She' and 'King Solomon's Mines) of the Daily Express on 10 August 1901. It was one of a series of Haggard's articles and was entitled 'Downham, by Ely' and examined 'the rural problem in Cambridgeshire'. Rider H.Haggard wrote two volumes on Rural England in 1901 and 1902 – they were published by the Fabian Society in August 1905 (cost: 1d). The Rev Canon Thornton felt passionately on the subject of money-lending to the smallholders of land in the area. Rider Haggard examined how, before the drainage of the Fens, bright and hard-working individuals worked out a way of reclaiming and cultivating large areas. However, under the system of 'copyhold', 'that evil burden under which so much English land still labours', there was a heavy tax on their efforts. Whenever a smallholder died, the lord of the manor demanded two years' estimated rent or – in the case of a sale – for one and half years' rent. The smallholder could never find the money and therefore had to use moneylenders.
'On this matter Canon Thornton, under whose guidance we inspected the small holdings, had a great deal to say.' Unless the practice was stamped out, Thornton told Haggard, life would 'become unbearable'.
'Canon Thornton is a clergyman whose views certainly demand attention if only on account of what he has done and is doing in his district. The income of the living still amounts, I believe, to £1,000 a year, every halfpenny of which is spent in the parish where he employs no fewer than four curates to attend to the three churches, one of which – a tin building that is also used as a school – he erected himself in the Fen land. Briefly they (his views) are that the conditions of life among many of his parishioners are brutalising in their hardness…and that the people grow stolid, hard and capricious.'
At the end of the article, Haggard comments: 'As it is, they manage to live, although I agree with Canon Thornton, under conditions that in some cases are almost degrading in their severity.'
(PLEASE NOTE: I was aware of some of the facts made in the next paragraph, 'Like many of the better clergy…' on your website but I would be interested to see the sources).
In 1904, he bought Shudy Camps Park, (I have no source that suggests it was 'with a view to retirement'), an estate in South Cambridgeshire comprising six farms, twenty houses and a pub. (Note: he did not retire in 1907). He continued in his role as Honorary Canon to Ely Cathedral and Special Missioner throughout the Great War. His wife, Harriet Emily, collapsed and died in the church at Shudy Camps two weeks before the end of the war – she was laying flowers in memory of her two sons. It is believed by the family that she died of a broken heart.
The Rev Canon Thornton became vicar of Shudy Camps in 1919. He was a J.P., chairman of Linton Rural District Council and, in 1918, Chairman of the East Coast Flood Defence Committee. He was a member of the National Geographical Society and the Royal Historical Society. In 1935, he tried to resign his canonry but the Bishop of Ely retitled him 'Canon Emeritus'.
The Rev Canon Thornton died on 7 June 1938, as the World War Two storm clouds were gathering.
