It's a very cool shirt, but the image has sort of a "dot matrix" appearance (probably intentional). I think it would look better if it was a full resolution "normal" image instead. But I still like it.

Degrees of the Scale (lesson)
Intervals Triads Chords & Harmonies - Part 1 Degrees of the scale
Greetings all, and welcome to the latest GMC Theory Lesson!
In this multi part lesson we are going to build on our knowledge of the major scale, and start looking at a couple of key concepts around chord and harmony construction. When we are done, you'll be able to understand complex relationships between notes, harmonize a lead line, construct a B augmented chord, and leap tall buildings in a single bound ...
Degrees of the Scale
All of the above starts simply with a concept that should already be familiar to you as the formula for a Major Scale. If you are not familiar with major scales, check out the major scale lesson here. Next, we are going to learn about degrees of the scale - this is a system for talking about notes in a scale without reference to the notes themselves, or what scale they are in. This is a little boring for now but will help us a lot later on.
You should remember that starting at the root note of a scale, and applying the Whole/Half formula, we can generate the scale. For those of you that have forgotten, the formula is:
Technically, we should be calling the whole notes tones and the half notes semi-tones, so I am going to rewrite the formula with different letters, to remind you of this:
So far so good, but where is this leading? Well the formula above tells us about the gaps between different notes of the scale, but we need a way to refer to the notes themselves, and we do this by a system of numbers and names. We start with the root of the scale and give that the number 1, (sometimes roman numerals are used), and count up one for each note in the scale. Each of these numbers is a degree of the scale, each degree also has a name.
For example, the scale of C has the notes C,D,E,F,G,A,B,C according to our formula. We would number them as in the table below. I am also showing you the formula steps, and the name of each degree.
Notice, that when we get back to C an octave higher, we call it the Tonic again, and call it the 1st degree, as in scale terms the two notes are equivalent. Also note that the 7th note can be called either the leading note or subtonic.
What does this buy us? Well, lets look at the scale of D major in the same way:
As you might expect, although the notes are completely different, the names, degrees and Gap formula all remain exactly the same. So what we have here is a way of talking about the relationship between different notes in a scale regardless of the actual notes themselves. If we want to talk about the 3rd note of a scale, it performs the same musical function regardless of the key, and we now have a language to talk about it that is independent of the actual note or scale. In our examples above, E in the scale of C, and F# in the scale of D are both 3rd notes, and anything we want to say about 3rd notes relates to each equally. This will come in very handy later on.
As a final note for this lesson, you will be pleased to know that the formal names (Dominant, Tonic etc) are rarely used. Most people refer to the numeric degrees of the scale, so if you can't remember the names don't worry!
In the next lesson will see how we can use degrees of the scale to understand intervals, and from there we move on to chords and harmonies!

Health Problems in Pregnancy
Every pregnancy has some risk of problems. The causes can be conditions you already have or conditions you develop. They also include being pregnant with more than one baby, previous problem pregnancies, or being over age 35. They can affect your health and the health of your baby.
If you have a chronic condition, you should talk to your health care provider about how to minimize your risk before you get pregnant. Once you are pregnant, you may need a health care team to monitor your pregnancy. Examples of common conditions that can complicate a pregnancy include
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure
- Kidney problems
- Autoimmune disorders
- Sexually transmitted diseases
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Infections
Other conditions that can make pregnancy risky can happen while you are pregnant - for example, gestational diabetes and Rh incompatibility. Good prenatal care can help detect and treat them.
Some discomforts, like nausea, back pain, and fatigue, are common during pregnancy. Sometimes it is hard to know what is normal. Call your doctor or midwife if something is bothering or worrying you.

Vascular Diseases
The vascular system is the body's network of blood vessels. It includes the arteries, veins and capillaries that carry blood to and from the heart. Problems of the vascular system are common and can be serious. Arteries can become thick and stiff, a problem called atherosclerosis. Blood clots can clog vessels and block blood flow to the heart or brain. Weakened blood vessels can burst, causing bleeding inside the body.
You are more likely to have vascular disease as you get older. Other factors that make vascular disease more likely include
- Family history of vascular or heart diseases
- Pregnancy
- Illness or injury
- Long periods of sitting or standing still
- Any condition that affects the heart and blood vessels, such as diabetes or high cholesterol
- Smoking
- Obesity
Losing weight, eating healthy foods, being active and not smoking can help vascular disease. Other treatments include medicines and surgery.

The San Joaquin Valley's Pied Piper of precision agriculture and one of the innovators in reduced tillage and narrow-row cotton production continue to challenge the conventional, seeking answers to rising costs and reducing returns.
Both shared their latest efforts to reduce costs and or increase yields with consultants, growers and others at the recent Central California Cotton Conference in Shell Beach, Calif.
Kings County, Calif., farmer Ted Sheely is the valley's precision agriculture Pied Piper, and he continues to challenge the conventional by going where no one has ventured before in dividing up fields and getting away from one-size-fits-all farming through computerized variable rate technology using aerial imagery and prescription farming.
His newest variable rate experiments using aerial imagery to write application prescriptions based on varying conditions within a field are in defoliation and irrigation. One proved remarkably successful financially, and the jury is still out on the second. These experiments follow successful variable rate applications of gypsum, nitrogen, cotton planting seed and plant growth regulators.
Soils on the west side of the San Joaquin can be variable and sodic. In the field where Sheely conducted the variable irrigation experiment, the SAR was over 12 — "pretty tough conditions."
Obviously salts limit crop yields. One way to mitigate sodic conditions is to use expensive, hand-line sprinklers to leach out salts. However, like most West Side growers, Sheely delivers water to row crops using canals, ditches and furrows, which is less expensive than hand-moved sprinkler lines. And with laser leveling, flood irrigation can be highly efficient. However, it does not mitigate sodic conditions.
Incorporates imagery
Using aerial imagery from In-Time, Sheely and his consultant Brock Taylor divided up a large field in to 3 areas based on sodic soil conditions. Two of those areas were sprinkled early and then flood irrigated. One was flood irrigated from the beginning.
One area was sprinkler irrigated twice and in another, more sodic area, five times. After early season sprinkler irrigation, conventional flood irrigation was used to finish the crop.
"The same amount of water was applied to all three. The difference was the applications, " said Sheely.
He added up the costs of sprinkler irrigation and balanced them against the added yield based on past yields within the three areas using harvester yield monitor data. For the twice-sprinkled area, he made 125 pounds more lint per acre with an income over expenses of $54 per acre. For the cotton sprinkled five times, he yielded 320 pounds more lint per acre with a profit of $173 after sprinkler costs were deducted.
The other new variable rate trial on Sheely's farm involved defoliation, which averages about $18 per acre in cost.
Again, the trial field was divided into three areas for three defoliation treatments.
The premise behind the trial was partly to reduce defoliation cost, but more important to Sheely is the impact of defoliation rates the three-year project will have on lint quality.
For the first year, Sheely said he saved a little money on defoliation in some treatments using aerial maps and different defoliant treatments. One area it cost more than budget. One area of the field was not defoliated; a fact Sheely said "made me nervous."
Quality goal
"This is not about saving material cost. Variable rate defoliation is about improving quality, and we will not know the impact of the three treatments on quality until we get all the grades back," said Sheely. "Even if it improved quality minutely, it will be worth it."
Dos Palos, Calif., producer Daniel Burns has a strong history with narrow-row cotton. For several seasons, he had recorded yield increases — some in the double percentage digits category — in producing cotton planted two rows per beds spaced 30-inches apart verses a single row of cotton per bed.
That made him a natural for the first public field test on growing 15-inch cotton, one of the newer cotton planting configurations getting a lot of publicity across the U.S. Cotton Belt.
There is noting new in growing cotton in rows narrower than 30-inches. However, what is new is the ability to harvest the cotton with a spindle picker, thanks to the development of a unique 12-row cotton spindle picker from John Deere spindle harvester.
This picker breakthrough is what convinced Burns to see if he could do the same thing with 15-inch cotton as he did with twin-row narrow-row cotton. (Deere does not like to call or identify 15-inch cotton as ultra-narrow row since it is gathered with a spindle harvester versus a brush or finger stripper, the normal harvesting method for UNR.)
Dilemma persisted
However, the dilemma of how to economically spindle harvest cotton planted in rows narrower than 30-inches did not go away as many had hoped, at least not for Burns after one admittedly challenging year of producing cotton in 15-inch rows on San Juan Ranch Burns manages.
Burns admits producing 15-inch cotton in less than ideal growing weather in '05 was a "tremendous challenge." Getting a stand after more than 2 inches of rain almost scuttled the entire project which was set up with the University of California, Deere and San Juan ranch to compare the three methods of producing cotton — conventional single-row 30, twin-row 30-inch cotton and the 15-inch wide cotton rows.
He does not have yield data all the cotton, but he projects yields varied on the 15-inch cotton among the three fields he grew of it. It likely ranged from one bale to more than two, he guessed based on module count.
His goal in experimenting with 15-inch cotton was to continue to reduce costs by reducing tillage. The cotton in 15-inch rows was no-till and he estimates he saved at least $80 per acre over conventional 30-inch narrow row cotton and probably $50 over his double-row 30-inch cotton.
Adaptation problem
"Although we had a terrible year, I can see where 15-inch cotton has a fit — if you can figure out how to pay for the $380,000 cotton picker," said Burns, who experienced difficulty in picking the 15-inch rows with a harvester that was not equipped with GPS guidance. The cotton was planted with GPS, but the AutoFarm units he uses on his tractors would not adapt to the Deere picker.
Deere has developed a 12-row cotton harvester with one row feeder equipped with a knife that slices off the plants and feeds them into an adjacent row where there is a spindle harvesting mechanism.

Following her brief hospitalization on Thursday for internal bleeding, Vicki Gunvalson has now been released.
Despite her release from the hospital, the Real Housewives of Orange County star tells E! News that she is not feeling much better. The reason she was hospitalized? Internal bleeding due to ulcers in her colon.
Vicki also denies reports that her hospitalization was caused by anxiety from her divorce. "It's not due to anxiety," says Vicki. "It's not due to a divorce. I'm very sick. I was hemorrhaging. It was very scary. I have internal bleeding in my colon, and they fixed it."
Vicki tells E! she had surgery on Friday and is now home on required bed rest. "I'm not feeling good," says Vicki. "They said I'll be OK. It could flare up again, but I'm very healthy and I didn't do anything to cause this. People just get sick. I'm going to be OK."
E! also reports that Vicki's soon to be ex-husband Donn Gunvalson paid her a hospital visit despite their pending divorce. "It's amicable," Vicki said. "We're perfect. We're not fighting."

During a meeting held recently at the United Nations in New York, IUCN and The Nature Conservancy provided information on policy recommendations on how to improve the management of deep-sea fisheries and ecosystems. The recommendations were developed following a workshop jointly organized by TNC and IUCN.
Whilst acknowledging that considerable progress has been made by States and Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) on deep sea fisheries management, including areas closures and the creation of new regional management structures, full implementation of existing agreements and greater compliance still needs to be ensured.
To overcome some of the challenges faced by States and RFMOs in complying with existing agreements, the participants' recommendations included: greater sharing of deep-sea fisheries data, better guidance on undertaking risk assessments, elimination of subsidies that generate overcapacity, and tighter thresholds to minimise bycatch and protect key ecosystems.
Fishing is often undertaken without proper catch limits and enforcement of obligations. Deep-sea fishing in the high seas is carried out by relatively few vessels from a small number of countries and contributes only marginally to global marine capture fisheries. However, this deep-sea fishery, if not properly managed, has the potential to decimate unique species and ecosystems that the international community has only just started to discover. Ensuring the sustainability of deep sea fisheries is still feasible, and would only require a fraction of the efforts needed to fix other fisheries. It simply requires a strong political will.
"It is urgent to deal with fisheries subsidies. States should urgently put in place regulations to remove all incentives that result in excess capacity of fishing fleets, ineffective distortions of socio-economic systems, and economic policies that exacerbate threats to the sustainability of deep water resources", said Harlan Cohen of IUCN's Global Marine Programme. "Where there is no management, there should be no fishing".
While deep sea fisheries face challenges related to the lack of knowledge about deep sea species and ecosystems, many of the management issues actually relate to a lack of implementation of general fishery governance and management principles. "Fishing should not be allowed in areas where data are not collected or shared", said Imène Meliane, Director of International Marine Policy at the Nature Conservancy.
"An international programme to contribute fisheries-related data and information to a common database would greatly assist States and Fisheries organizations in the identification and location of vulnerable marine ecosystems," said Carmen Revenga, leader of the sustainable fisheries strategy at The Nature Conservancy.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Dozens of Palestinian prisoners on Wednesday ended their 63-day-long hunger strike after reaching a deal with Israeli prison authorities, a Palestinian official said.
The development comes against the backdrop of a broad Israeli ground operation in the West Bank in search of three Israeli teens who went missing in the Palestinian territory nearly two weeks ago. There have also been near-daily rocket attacks from Gaza, prompting Israeli airstrikes in retaliation.
Earlier Wednesday, a rocket fired by Palestinian militants toward Israel exploded in the northern Gaza Strip, killing a 3-year-old Palestinian girl and wounding three other people, a Gaza health official said.
A Gaza security official said the militants' rocket exploded prematurely inside the coastal strip. Both Palestinian officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to media.
Since 2012, Palestinian prisoners have staged a series of hunger strikes, sometimes as individuals and sometimes in larger groups to protest "administrative detention," a policy that can keep some prisoners in custody for months without charges.
Israel has defended the practice as a necessary tool to stop militant activity, including attacks.
About 5,000 Palestinians are imprisoned in Israel for offenses ranging from rock throwing to deadly militant attacks. Of those, some 190 are administrative detainees, while another 143 Palestinians detained in recent raids have also been held under the policy.
The latest hunger strike was launched April 24 and involved 77 prisoners, according to Qadoura Fares, an advocate for Palestinian prisoners. It ended Wednesday after the deal was struck with Israel Prisons Authority, said Minister of Prisoner Affairs Shawqi Al-Aissa.
Fares said the agreement "states that the prisoners stay in hospital until they recover, and then they will be taken to the prisons they were in before the strike while Israel ends punitive measures against them." The measures included limited visits by family members as well as removal of televisions and other amenities from their jail rooms.
"This is not a big victory but it has shaken the administrative detention law," Fares said, adding that the prisoners will "continue their struggle for freedom."
Fares said the crisis over the missing teens "had a very bad effect on the strike," reflecting what some observers have said — that Palestinians can't expect Israel to make any concessions under such circumstances.
The three Israeli teens — Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel, a 16-year-old with dual Israeli-American citizenship — disappeared on June 12 in the West Bank.
Since then, the territory has seen a spike in violence. Israel has accused the militant Palestinian Hamas group, which controls Gaza, of being behind the abduction. Hamas has praised the kidnapping, but has not taken responsibility for it.
The Israeli military said troops arrested 17 Palestinians in the West Bank overnight. It also said that since the operation to locate the teens and crackdown on Hamas began, about 370 Palestinian suspects have been arrested, including about 280 Hamas members.
In a related development, Israel's parliament earlier this week postponed a vote on a bill that would allow force feeding prisoners. Last week, Leonid Eidelman, the president of the Israeli Medical Association, told The Associated Press that Israeli doctors would "absolutely refuse" on ethical grounds to force-feed hunger-striking Palestinian prisoners.
Under the bill, a judge could sanction force-feeding if an inmate's life is perceived to be in danger. The government argues that a death in custody could trigger violent unrest in prisons or the Palestinian territories and harm Israel's security.
Israeli hospitals have so far been successful in keeping Palestinian hunger strikers alive without having to resort to force-feeding. This includes offering hunger strikers supplements of glucose, vitamins or electrolytes.
The Israeli military said Gaza militants fired a total of five rockets at Israel late Tuesday. It said two were shot down by the "Iron Dome" rocket-defense system, while one fell in an open area and two landed inside Gaza.
The Israeli military responded early Wednesday with a series of airstrikes across Gaza, saying it targeted five concealed rocket launchers, a weapons-manufacturing facility and a "terror activity" site.
Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, a military spokesman, said Israel is "determined to act against those that strive to target Israel."
Associated Press writer Mohammed Daraghmeh in Ramallah, West Bank, contributed to this report.

How can I change the colour of the white grout on my new ceramic tile floor? The grout was light for the first few months, but now it has gone grey and dingy.
Yes, grout can be coloured, but in your case the first challenge is get-ting rid of dirt that caused the grey tone. The lighter the grout, the faster it gets dirty, and that's what's happened in your case.
I'd start by using a toothbrush to scrub the grout lines with a bleach and water solution. Rinse well, mop and let the floor dry for a day.
All building supply outlets carry tile grout stain in various colours. Choose one that complements your tiles, yet is darker than the white grout that got dirty so fast. You need to apply the stain carefully (a tooth-brush with the outer bristles snipped off performs well), working it into all the grout joints while keeping it off the tiles as best you can.
I've seen this kind of grout stain in action several times and it works very well. Complete a test patch in a corner somewhere, just to be sure the tiles themselves don't absorb stain.
How can I soundproof a basement ceiling? I'm planning to build a tenant apartment downstairs and I don't want noise to be a problem.
The best way to improve the sound resistance of a basement ceiling is to install something called resilient channel, before ceiling drywall goes up. It's lengths of trough-shaped, light-gauge sheet steel that fastens at right angles to the bottom edges of floor joists. Drywall fastens to this metal, with the screws gripping only into the metal channels them-selves - not the wood of the joists. This separation of drywall from floor joists has a powerful sound-blocking effect. Once the drywall is taped and painted, resilient channel really boosts sound insulation values.
If you're planning to renovate any first-storey floors later on, various rubber underlay products are available to inhibit the medium frequency sounds of footsteps and movements from being transmitted down below.
How can I stop my sump pump from running all the time, even in dry weather? A plumber suggested I change the check valve, but I think the problem has something to do with the discharge pipe ending only four feet away from my basement wall. I regret that I bought a house with a sump pump. Can you help?
Let me put your mind at ease. You needn't feel regret about owning a home with a sump pump. Many great houses have this feature and it works fine.
There are three main things that could cause a sump pump to run all the time. Either the float switch isn't adjusted properly (preventing the pump from shutting off even when it has pumped out all the water it can), or there's a year-round stream of water coming into your basement (not likely), or your theory about water recycling back through the foundation wall is correct. Since you've had a plumber in, I suspect that the float is OK, though I'm a little suspicious about his judgment, given the questionable check valve advice he offered.
I'd begin by concentrating your efforts on getting the water moved farther away from your house. This is key. Perhaps you could run a new pipe around the side of your house and then away. If this isn't possible, then consider rerouting the drain line out another wall. Even a temporary pipe moving water well away from your house for a day or two will tell you for sure if you're on the right track. Then you can proceed with confidence that repiping will be worthwhile.

1. Search form interface and searchable fields
The search interface shown in Figure 1 illustrates the form as found on the results page. The form on the home page contains the same fields but arranged differently. This form allows searches to be filtered by the following fields:
- Title and Keywords (text box)
- Authors (text box)
- Volume/Number (drop down menu).
Items to be searched can be entered in the text box and refined by selecting volume/number from the drop down menu. Then press enter key or click on the "search" button.
2. Special characters
Some characters have a special meaning (figure 2) when used in text box fields.
Characters that represent any single character: (for example: s?ck = sack, sick, but not sidekick)
- Question mark ( ? )
- Underline ( _ )
- Apostrophe ( ' )
Characters that represent any sequence of one or more characters: (for example: s*ck = sack, s1234ck, or sidekick)
- Asterisk ( * )
- Percentage sign ( % )
The use of the whitespace character on the Title/Keywords field:
When two or more words are typed separated by white spaces in the Title/Keywords text box field, the search result will only include papers containing ALL the specific terms. For that reason, when multiple terms are typed, the search will be very specific and will result in fewer records.
The use of special characters on the Authors field:
In the Authors field the white space does not have a special function, so when searching by "José Joaquin" the result will only return records where at least one of the authors has that text within his name. For example: Antonio José Joaquin, Alanjose joaquin sanchez, etc. To search for José John Joaquim, you should write "José * Joaquim" or "José % Joaquim"

The official demolition of the Gainesville Police Station began Thursday morning.
The official demolition of the Gainesville Police Department Headquarters began Thursday morning.
The building, at 721 NW Sixth St., is being razed to make way for a brand new facility. According to GPD spokesman Officer Ben Tobias, senior members of GPD — including Chief Tony Jones — were on hand to see the first bricks fall.
"It was actually quite emotional for the officers that watched the first strikes of the excavator," Tobias said. "There are a lot of memories from that building. A lot of us were sworn into service inside the old station, but now we're one step closer to making new memories in a new building."
Originally, a renovation was planned and began in late 2010, but code compliance and asbestos issues made a complete demolition and rebuild more cost-effective.
The building has been vacant since then, and Chief Jones said he's felt the impact of the displacement.
"Our police officers and staff have been displaced for over 2 years, and they had to look at the old building just sitting there empty," Jones said. "Now we all can see progress towards a brand new building for both us and the community. Now it's real. Now it's tangible."
The demolition should take about four weeks, Tobias said, with the site prep for new construction to follow.
The Gilbane Building Company is overseeing the construction, and Cross Construction is handling the demolition.
According to Tobias, Gilbane's Project Executive Joe Frisco said safety and being "good neighbors" will be the top priority as the project moves forward.
"Gilbane is excited about moving into the construction phase of the project," Frisco said. "We could not have gotten this far in the project without a huge team effort from GPD, the city of Gainesville and the local community residents."
At the start of the demolition, a large crane picked away at pieces of the back of the building while a fire hose sprayed water — to minimize pollutants released into the air. Tobias said the construction company will recycle parts of the building to keep with Gainesville's recycling initiative. Also, he said the department is aware of the noise the work will create and will work to curb it.
"Everyone has gotten used to the old building being abandoned," said Tobias, "but we are about to see a flurry of activity there. By nature, construction projects add a great degree of noise and extra traffic, but the work crews have been educated on the city's noise ordinance. They aim to complete this project with as little public disruption as possible."

Dems Just Wanna Have Fun
Convention-goers aren't going to let a little ethics law prevent them from having awesome parties.
See Slate's complete Democratic Convention coverage.
When the Distilled Spirits Council threw its blowout bash Monday in downtown Denver, lobbyists from places like Daimler, Amgen, and Lockheed Martin mingled with politicians. Never mind that Congress passed a law in 2007 cutting back on comingling. The distillers found a loophole: By distributing literature on underage drinking, the party qualified as "educational" and was therefore legit.
That's just one way party-throwers are keeping this year's shindigs within bounds. The Honest Leadership and Open Government Act, passed by Democrats when they first took over Congress, prohibits lobbyists from paying for gifts to members, including meals and music. But the legislation has more loopholes than a Scottish fortress. Herewith, a quick rundown of ways the Democrats—with assists from the House and Senate ethics committees (see their narrow interpretations of the law here and here [PDFs])—are still managing to have fun.
Spread the love. You're not allowed to throw a party in honor of a single House member. But if it's for multiple members, that's cool. That could be why AT&T threw a party Sunday night for all 47 Blue Dog Democrats instead of just one. It also explains the Visa and US Bank party for the freshman class of House members. (That's House only, mind you. The Senate still bans members from attending honorary corporate-sponsored parties.)
Throw a blowout. Don't host some dinky little gathering. Make it a rager. That way, you're protected by the "widely attended" rule, which says lawmakers can attend a corporate-sponsored party as long as 25 nonlawmakers are also attending. You'd think they'd be eager to admit nonlawmakers like me. You'd be wrong.
Stick a toothpick in everything. Ethics rules allow food of "nominal" value that's not part of a meal. So the more "reception"-y your party, the better. A hamburger in a bun is a meal. A hamburger with a toothpick in it—that's a "slider." In theory, this prohibits anything larger than "finger food." Raw oysters can support toothpicks, for example, but oyster pasta can't. Good rule of thumb: If you can serve it on a stick, do.
Carbo-load. Protein equals meal. Meal equals bad. So if you're serving breakfast, stick with bagels and croissants instead of eggs and bacon. Your lawyers—and your arteries—will thank you.
Keep the music in the background. The new rules ban free music events for lawmakers. But if it the music is in the background, like a reception, play ball. Some groups are fudging it. At the RNC, the Minnesota Agri-Growth Council is hosting a party featuring the '80s hair band Styx—hardly background music. Attendees therefore have the option of paying $20 if they're feeling guilty about enjoying "Mr. Roboto."
Ditch the furniture. To qualify as a "reception," a party must force attendees to stand instead of sit. Theoretically, lobbyists and politicians can't hobnob as efficiently while standing up, not unlike the "three feet on the floor" rule at New England boarding schools.
Adopt a cause. Many ethics rules vanish if the event is for a charitable purpose. So if lawmakers were feeling skittish about attending a poker tournament held by the Poker Players Alliance, never fear—all proceeds go to the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Lawmakers can also attend the Recording Industry Association of America's Kanye West concert because they're teaming up with the One Campaign to pass out literature on AIDS and poverty.
Keep goodies cheap. Under the old rules, parties could distribute gifts and trinkets worth up to $50. Now that's been reduced to $10. So this year, the cigars in the gift bags provided by the Rocky Patel Premium Cigar Company are crappier than in the past. Nor is it a coincidence that data-transaction company First Data is passing out refreshment vouchers worth "up to $10."
Ethics reformers insist the new rules are making a difference. They have also inspired transparency groups like the Sunlight Foundation to keep tabs on which companies are feting whom. (See the group's complete party list here.) But as with any regulatory regime, from NASCAR to music downloading, new rules spawn creativity as much as they reduce violations. The rules also make this year's parties more exclusive than ever, as organizers make sure no uninvited attendees inadvertently violate the code. (At least that's the excuse.) And they prove, once again, that there ain't no party like the lobbyist party, because the lobbyist party don't stop.

The Vain Vampire
Robert Pattinson doesn't seem to care about his appearance. In that sense, he's the exact opposite of Kellan Lutz who, time and again, appears to be more manicured than even his female castmates.
This is Kellan in Vancouver yesterday hooking up with Peter Facinelli. The style scarf looped just so around his neck, and the cap, an open cardigan over a tee, with versatile white shades that flip up to show his eyes…
Dude. That's a well put together outfit. Snaps.
And then there's Kellan the Beefcake. Spotted at the gym working on his bulk, shirt off, giving many of you ladies the moist. Sure. I get it. It's not my personal quiver trigger but the conventional appeal of a muscle man isn't surprising in the least.
There's also something to be said about a lack of vanity. About a guy who doesn't try so hard and doesn't care so much.
Perhaps I'm standing alone on this one.
If that's the case, please, by all means, enjoy.
Coming soon…

The chilling report that the Pentagon is planning a "three-day blitz" targeting Iran hasn't gotten much play here in the U.S. The British press, meanwhile, has been buzzing with what the Bush administration's plan is for Iran, and the news isn't good.
The Times of London, which reported on the Pentagon's plans, has a source who claims that the U.S. is looking to launch air strikes against 1,200 targets in Iran.
The Department of Defense is always "planning" something. It's what a military does, scenario planning. But with the tough talk coming from President Bush and a series of odd bits of news (a proposed gradual troop drawdown from Bush and the jet carrying nuclear weapons over the U.S. "by mistake"), a bunch of grim theories are emerging.
We can engage in scenario planning, too. For example: Why would Bush want to start pulling out troops earlier than the date suggested by Democrats (a plan he shot down)? To send them elsewhere, perhaps? And the DailyKos.com reports that the base at which the nuke-carrying B-52 landed, in Barksdale, La., is "a jumping off point for Middle East operations." The U.K.'s Sunday Telegraph, meanwhile, reports that recently "a group of Bush administration staffers is gathered to consider the gravest threat their government has faced this century: the testing of a nuclear weapon by Iran."
Now, there may be no connection between those stories, but together, they certainly feed the frenzied mood surrounding the U.S. dealings with Iran, whose President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is hardly a cool-headed leader himself, dishing out his own brand of rhetoric. But according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, there's no evidence that Iran has weaponized its nuclear program. IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei said the U.S.'s standoff with Iran is "a reminder of pre-war Iraq...Based on the evidence, we have, we do not see ... a clear and present danger that requires that you go beyond diplomacy."
A ray of hope comes via news that former Iranian president Hashemi Rafsanjani (a moderate compared to Ahmadinejad) has been chosen to lead The Assembly of Experts, a clerical body that handpicks the country's supreme leader, a position higher than that of the president. So the hardliners' days in Iran may be numbered.
The U.S. already has lost a tremendous amount of credibility in the eyes of the world -- so far, the most dangerous stash of Iraq's chemical weapons we've found have been stored at the United Nations Building in New York since 1996. While our president may think he's a cowboy, the fact remains that we can't go it alone in this world. We need allies. We need good will. We need real, sophisticated leadership.

Trooper injured trying to save children from fire
Trooper injured trying to save children from fire
Two children have died in a house fire in Burke County despite the efforts of an N.C. Highway Patrol trooper to rescue them.
Four adults who lived in the home in the Connelly Springs area of southeastern Burke County were also injured.
Authorities have not released the names of the victims, but a man at the scene identified the children as an 11-year-old boy and his 6-year-old sister. The man said they were his grandchildren.
Shane Bowman of the Hildebran Fire Department said the initial call indicated that people were trapped in the home. Firefighters found flames coming from the windows, doors and roof when they arrived.
Bowman said the trooper tried twice to enter the house but was driven back by flames and smoke.

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) — Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his Argentine counterpart and ally, Cristina Fernandez, announced new energy and food agreements Wednesday, then Maduro cheered supporters of Argentina's president with a rousing speech at a soccer-stadium rally.
Maduro said their two countries are more closely aligned than ever despite the deaths of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and of Nestor Kirchner, Fernandez's husband who preceded her in the presidency.
"Hugo Chavez Frias and Nestor Kirchner! I feel them hear, more alive than ever!" Maduro said to wide applause.
It was the high point of a regional trip meant to shore up support after Maduro narrowly won an election challenged as fraudulent by his opponent, Henrique Capriles. The disputed outcome and related violence have Venezuelans even more polarized, and Maduro is looking to shore up friends amid questions about the sustainability of the petrodollar diplomacy Chavez spread around the region.
Maduro met earlier with President Jose Mujica in Montevideo. The Uruguayan leader gave Maduro, who will inherit Mercosur's rotating presidency in June, a boost when he said Venezuela's presence in the trade group is very important. After Argentina, Maduro was heading to Brazil.
Fernandez mobilized "Organized and United," a coalition of pro-government groups that reliably delivers supporters to political rallies, to put on the stadium gathering.
She also announced 11 accords promising more cooperation on energy, technology, transportation and food. Without giving details, Fernandez also said that she and Maduro made progress on new deals between their state-controlled oil companies.
But Maduro's Venezuelan opponents also have gathered at every stop along the way, denouncing him as a threat to democracy.
While Fernandez was sending busloads to fill the 21,500-seat All Boys stadium, his rivals were calling for protesters to gather at Argentina's iconic obelisk. Venezuelan opposition lawmakers also met with their counterparts in Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina and Colombia, lamenting together the lack of criticism from the region's presidents.
Maduro dismissed his opponents as "right wing extremists" and said "they can travel to Siberia or Antarctica to complain if they want to."
This trip is purely symbolic because most of the region's leaders already showed their support by attending Maduro's inauguration in Caracas despite Capriles' efforts to challenge the results, said Jorge Restrepo, who directs Colombia's Resource Center for the Analysis of Conflicts.
That has more to do with economic pragmatism and petroleum than a shared ideology, said Ivan Garzon, who runs the law and political science departments at the University of La Sabana in Bogota, Colombia.
Venezuela is a huge importer of goods, bringing in $59 billion worth last year. In exchange, it provides a massive amount of oil and natural gas at preferential terms to its Latin American allies.
Maduro is probably telling his allies that Venezuela's petrodollars won't dry up, the analysts said.
"He'll tell Cristina, 'Relax, the checkbook is still working.' The money won't flow as quickly as it did under Chavez, but it's not going to stop tomorrow," Garzon said.
Restrepo agreed: "No one will intervene in Venezuelan politics. It's in no one's interest to do so."
But Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman dove right into the fray, blaming Maduro's opponents for any violence.
"This is a president who is being attacked by an opposition that doesn't respect election results. There's an opposition that will receive him here as well," Timerman said. "Their line is, 'If I win the elections, they're democratic; If I lose, they're fraudulent.' "
Associated Press writers Damian Pachter in Buenos Aires, Vivian Sequera in Bogota and Pablo Fernandez in Montevideo contributed to this report.

While Oldsmobile sold vehicles as an upscale brand, their vehicles had remained in the grasp of everyday motorists. Among many Oldsmobile sedans, the 88 (or Eighty-Eight) moniker provided a mix of luxury and family car characteristics for decades. The Oldsmobile 88 endured 50 years of production before being retired after 1999. In the 1990s, the strikingly designed Oldsmobile Aurora provided a captivating effort to restructure the image for an auto company regarded as behind the times in its segment (the sedan also debuted an all-new Oldsmobile rocket emblem). The Oldsmobile Aurora would be one of the first non-Cadillac branded vehicles to feature the Northstar V-8 engine technology. The Aurora inspired a new crop of vehicle designs including the Alero and Intrigue sedans during the latter years of production for the brand. An Alero four-door sedan would be the final vehicle to be produced by Oldsmobile when General Motors discontinued the brand in 2004.
(Model years 2004 - 1926 including exotics and classic cars)

London's the O2 is looking to expand its programming beyond live music and establish itself as an entertainment destination similar to the Southbank Centre, The Stage can reveal.
The Greenwich peninsular venue is staging its first pantomime this year – Aladdin: A Wish Come True, starring Lily Savage as Widow Twankey and created by veteran theatre producer Michael Rose, will premiere in a purpose-built 1,920-seat theatre. But while the theatre is a temporary structure, there is a three-year plan in place, if Aladdin proves successful, for Rose to stage pantomimes again.
And the O2's chiefs have said they will even consider creating a permanent theatre to stage everything from seasonal shows to straight plays.
The O2 general manager Rebecca Kane told The Stage: "We've had five years of phenomenal success. Who knew AEG, a US company coming for the first time to trade in the UK, could turn the dome into the world's most popular arena for music?
"The exciting challenge now is to build on that. It means moving from that purist focus on music in the arena and pushing the O2 out to become a real destination in its own right, 365 days a year – so you know there will be always be something happening somewhere on the site."
Citing London's Southbank Centre – the world's biggest single-run arts complex – as a key inspiration, Kane said the O2 had already started branching out beyond music by hosting events such as the Sundance London film and music festival, the Royal Ballet's production of Romeo and Juliet and Andrew Lloyd Webber's Jesus Christ Superstar.
It now plans to stage events across the site – inside and out – to create more of a hub for entertainment.
"Somewhere like the South Bank would be an inspiration," she added. "If you think about the walkway and what it represents – it's got restaurants, bars, the London Eye, a wealth of attractions, and the Southbank Centre is the core anchor of that.
"We're looking at doing more around the arena as well as in the arena. In 2011, we had 192 events inside so there is a bit of growth potential but the really exciting challenge is what we can do with the other spaces."
She said the company was "investing heavily" in bringing theatre to the O2: "It's the first time we've built a purpose built theatre. We're putting a lot behind it."
Asked whether she might consider making it a permanent fixture Kane said: "Potentially. We're up for trying things. In terms of the theatre, we want to get it right this year, see how it goes, build a broad audience. But we still have some areas that don't have permanent installs so there's an opportunity if this works to having something more regular."
Kane said family-led shows were the obvious option – but she refused to rule out anything, even Shakespeare. "Family is the obvious demographic. But that's not to say we wouldn't ever consider staging something else. We're open to all options."

East Carolina University's School of Nursing recently hosted the first international meeting of the Bamboo Bridge project, designed to promote a greater understanding and collaboration of traditional and modern health care.
The project is being launched under the guidance of Dr. Martha Libster, associate professor of nursing at ECU. Other partners are Assumption University of Thailand Nursing Science, the University of Minnesota's School of Nursing, the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Nursing's Global Health Leadership Office and Sigma Theta Tau, the international honor society of nursing.
The project promotes global partnership between nurses and traditional community healers.
The World Health Organization defines traditional medicine or healing, such as herbal remedies, hydrotherapies and spiritual ritual, as methods routinely used before the arrival of modern medicine. Also called western or biomedicine, modern medicine is the dominate system of health care in most industrialized nations. Bamboo serves as the metaphoric bridge in crossing cultures, healing traditions and emerging technologies.
"Everything for me is plant-related and has been since I was knee-high to a weed," said Libster, internationally known for her work integrating nursing practice and healing traditions, particularly the use of botanical therapies. She is a health care historian, nurse psychotherapist and 'herbal diplomat,' also the title of one of her books, and serves on the advisory board of the American Botanical Council.
Nurses are often educated in urban areas or facilities closely aligned with medical centers focused on modern medicine. However, nurses have historically worked in rural communities and facilities that support traditional medicine. Elderberry, loaded with vitamin C and garlic, a potent antioxidant, has been used for hundreds of years as a traditional home remedy. Even the root of sweet-smelling kudzu, a prolific vine in North Carolina, is being researched for medicinal uses. Eighty percent of the world's population continues to use traditional methods of healing, according to the WHO.
Through their roles, nurses often serve as 'cultural diplomats' as they consider conventional recommendations and evidence-based decisions in health care, according to the Bamboo Bridge Web site, www.BambooBridge.org .
The Bamboo Bridge project fosters opportunities for cross-fertilization of knowledge and practice between nurses and traditional healers with a focus of achieving a greater understanding of situations in which traditional and biomedical health care beliefs and practices can complement each other, according to the Web site.

If you haven't seen "Surf Craft" at the Mingei International Museum in San Diego, go now. The compelling exhibition about American makers and shapers of all kinds of wave-riding boards ends Sunday.
Surf historian Richard Kenvin has assembled an amazing collection of boards from the early 20th century to the present. Even if you don't know anything about surfboards, these marvels of wood, fiberglass and foam stand on their own as works of art.
"Other surfing [exhibitions] are more based on nostalgia," says Kenvin, who surfs and has been researching surfboards for a dozen years. "This is more the craft story."
Indeed rarely have the 60 to 80...

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — As Indiana Jones might say: Why did it have to be the Year of the Snake?
When the Chinese-speaking world ushers in its new year on Sunday, its 12-year zodiac will turn from the dragon to one of the world's most despised animals. As undeserved as the snake's reputation might be, its last two years did not go so well: 2001 was the year of the Sept. 11 attacks and 1989 was when Chinese forces crushed pro-democracy protests around Beijing's Tiananmen Square.
This is already a down holiday for some souvenir sellers and could be a slow year for obstetricians; an appointment setter says fewer prospective parents are setting appointments. But astrologers say they see some good signs for 2013.

In Britain, awnings and window shutters are often categorized under blinds, which are so named because they limit observation and thus blind the observer to the view. The main types are slat blinds which can be opened in two ways, and solid blinds, which can only be raised or lowered, and are sometimes called shades.
The term window blinds can also be used to describe window coverings generically—in this context window blinds include almost every type of window covering, i.e. shutters, roller blinds, cellular shades (also called honeycomb shades), wood blinds, roman blinds and of course, standard vertical and horizontal blinds. In the United Kingdom, awnings are sometimes called blinds or shades.
Many window blinds are made with slats of fabric, metal, plastic, or wood that are adjusted by being rotated from an open position (in which the slats do not overlap) to a closed position (in which they do). Metal window blinds are often used outside of a home or business to protect against theft, temperature, onlookers, glare, bad weather, or fire (in fire-prone areas); often, these blinds are machine-operated, rather than hand-operated.

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — A Bahrain lawmaker says he set fire to an Israeli flag during a parliament session in a show of support for the Palestinians in Gaza.
Osama al-Tamimi says he smuggled a canister of gasoline into the chamber and set the flag ablaze Tuesday. The incident prompted a five-minute suspension of the session.
Al-Tamimi says he sought to "send a clear message to the international community" about Bahrain's support for the people of Gaza as they face Israeli attacks in retaliation for stepped up rocket strikes by the Palestinian group Hamas.
Bahraini authorities have banned pro-Gaza public rallies as part of wider clampdowns against political marches. The country last month outlawed all political gatherings in attempts to quell a 21-month-old Shiite-led uprising against the Sunni monarchy.

ABIDJAN (Reuters) - A militant youth leader and close ally of Ivory Coast's ex-president Laurent Gbagbo was charged with war crimes and murder, a spokesman for the state prosecutor said on Monday.
Charles Ble Goude, the former head of the Young Patriot street militia, was arrested on an international warrant in neighboring Ghana last week and was handed over to Ivorian authorities at the weekend.
Ble Goude was a powerful figure in the inner circle of Gbagbo, who is now awaiting trial before the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. He eventually rose to become minister of youth.
Rights groups accuse his followers of committing grave human rights abuses including ethnically motivated killings and torture during a brief post-election civil war in 2011 that killed over 3,000 people.
"He is currently before a judge for his hearing ... The charges were war crimes, murder, economic crimes and kidnapping," spokesman Habiba Coulibaly said.
Ble Goude fled Ivory Coast at the end of the conflict, which was triggered by Gbagbo's refusal to accept a 2010 election defeat to Alassane Ouattara.
A U.N. experts panel last year accused him of continuing to raise money from exile in order to purchase weapons used in a series of attacks against security and infrastructure installations that began last August.
Ble Goude's supporters say the charges against him are politically motivated, and accused the governments of both Ivory Coast and Ghana of rushing his transfer.

The University of Delaware held its inaugural One World, One Health animal, human and environmental health symposium, titled "Global Thinking for the Greater Good: Interdisciplinary Health Discourse and Research," in the Townsend Hall Commons on Wednesday, Aug. 22.
The event was sponsored by the UD College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR), the College of Health Sciences (CHS) and the Delaware Environmental Institute (DENIN) in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture-Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS).
The day started off with two concurrent morning sessions running from 9-11:30 a.m. The first, titled "Plugging In," dealt with regional interdisciplinary health efforts and outlined ways in which University departments and individual researchers can "plug in" to ongoing and future projects.
Speakers included Karl Steiner, senior provost of research development for the Research Office; Kathy Matt, dean of the College of Health Sciences; and Bob MacDonald, coordinator for partnerships and grants at USDA-ARS.
Steiner spoke about the importance of having multiple principal investigators on research projects, noting that National Science Foundation (NSF) funding for multi-principal investigator projects has gone up 29 percent in recent years, while funding for single principal investigator projects has gone up only 7 percent. He noted that the NSF mirrors a national trend toward awarding multiple-principal investigator projects.
Steiner said that pilot funding is available for researchers through the University and statewide, with programs such as the Delaware Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), supported by NSF, and the Delaware IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE), supported by the National Institutes of Health.
He said that with more than 60 academic departments and schools and numerous institutes spread across the University, there is a need for collaboration between researchers.
Steiner also stressed that in the jungle of securing competitive grants, it is important for researchers to "use all the help you can get" and to "work with colleagues to do something innovative, because if you're doing the same thing that somebody else is doing," you won't succeed.
Interdisciplinary work
Matt discussed the interdisciplinary opportunities available at UD specifically through the Delaware Health Sciences Alliance (DHSA) and the future opportunities that will be available at the Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus. Matt said it is important to not limit partnerships but to expand them, and spoke to researchers about the importance of pilot funding to help show initial results with their work.
"The challenge is when you have a new idea and you have to partner with other people, you don't have a track record," said Matt. "That's why in every situation I've been in, seed funds, angel funds — these pilot funds — are greatly important so you can get together, get the data, get your publications, get an abstract, get your presentations and you can show that, 'This isn't fictitious, I didn't just write this on the proposal, we're already working together and we have some data and we know that we can do this.'"
Matt also talked about successful collaboration projects at CHS, such as the "babies driving robots" program that is a collaboration between the Department of Physical Therapy and the Department of Mechanical Engineering, as well as the possibility for future collaborations between UD departments and the community in general as afforded by the new STAR Campus.
Matt said it is hoped the campus will demonstrate "healthy living by design," and said that will come about through a cooperative effort with the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources.
In the other concurrent morning session, "From Here to There: UD Graduate Student Resources and Career Planning," speakers presented information on UD resources available to graduate students, career planning and the transition from graduate school to the workforce.
Next came lunch, which gave participants a chance to network with fellow researchers and look at research presentations on display.
Tips for researchers
From 1-3 p.m., there was a panel discussion titled "From Good to Grant," which explored real world experiences and the logistics of developing and administering interdisciplinary research projects and grants.
The session was moderated by Leigh Botner, research development director for the Research Office, and panelists included:
- Kali Kniel, associate professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences;
- Manan Sharma, research microbiologist in the Environmental, Microbial, and Food Safety Laboratory (USDA ARS);
- Steven Stanhope, professor in the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology and lead scientist in the Bridging Advanced Development for Exceptional Rehabilitation (BADER) Consortium (CHS);
- Carl Schmidt, professor in the Department of Animal and Food Sciences; and
- Dan Flynn, associate dean of research (CHS).
Kniel said that it is important to know one's personal strengths when working in a collaborative setting and that "patience is very important when dealing with different personalities."
Schmidt stressed that talking to fellow researchers and going to meetings is very important, and said research should aim to have a broad impact. He also noted that it is important to establish a laboratory and get papers published as well as find people in the research field who complement you.
"My area of expertise is sequencing and bioinformatics and I knew that we had to use some quantitative genetics in my research and so I actively pursued one of the leading quantitative geneticists at Iowa State as part of this project," said Schmidt, referencing a $4.7 million research grant he received through the Climate Change Initiative of the United States Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA) to study heat stress in poultry.
Flynn spoke about programmatic grants, saying that the three most important aspects of securing a programmatic grant are to have:
• A grant leader who has very strong credentials;
• A compelling vision, something that addresses an important issue that scientists and the people of the society are looking at and talking about, allowing regional assets to guide the growth of the research program, and;
• Strong credentials among the faculty who participate on the program and high quality of their ideas.
"That's what's going to drive this and get that grant funded," he said.
Flynn also said that it is important to remember that as the leader of a research group, you need to help to advance the careers of everybody on that team. "At the end of the day, the real lasting legacy of leadership is the careers of the people that you advanced behind you and then that's a culture of leadership that you pass on."
The symposium closed with a poster session and refreshments from 3-5 p.m., with tours of the CANR farm and gardens also available at that time.
