General Information
Course Description
9547 - A survey of the Scientific Literatures and their Illustrations - This course rests on the following assumptions:
- Humanities students are seldom exposed to texts pertaining to the scientific world. This is true also with students of scientific disciplines who, even more rarely, read classical, recent or contemporary scientific texts.
- The literary qualities, styles and aesthetics of many classical scientific texts have been recognized as comparable to the literary texts which are still the main objects of study in comparative literature and theory.
- The widespread use of English as the main linguistic tool for exchanging and announcing scientific discoveries and/or technical implementations has resulted in a reduction in scientific communications written in other languages.
- A student unaware of the plurality of the different original texts written in a large variety of languages may loose contact with the inner fabric of the scientific thought itself.
The graphic illustrations of ideas, discoveries, instruments of the scientific and technological communities represent a text on their own.
Topics to be covered: The architectural drawing; the text and the visual in pre-Homeric times; the Homeric and post-Homeric worlds; measurement and number; the graphical discovery of life; the geometry of cities; the light, its nature, speed and density; the quest for atoms and natural and artificial lives; theory and comparative aspects of scientific literature.

Venue for Craig trial not certainFairness for Heckel suspect at heart of pending phone survey.A Reno County judge on Friday ordered a telephone survey of county residents be conducted in a Hutchinson homicide case, to help determine whether a man charged with murder can receive a fair trial here.
Defense attorneys for 50-year-old Billy Joe Craig Jr. have filed a motion for a change of venue in the case, but Reno County District Judge Tim Chambers will not rule on the matter until the survey is completed. The judge also is researching media coverage of the case. Craig is charged with first-degree murder and other charges in the June 2011 shooting death of 27-year-old Hutchinson resident Jennifer Heckel. His trial, which was set for Jan. 28, has now been postponed. During a pretrial hearing earlier this month, Craig's attorneys, Greg Bell of Hutchinson and Carl Maughan of Wichita, said two Pittsburg State University professors could conduct the telephone survey of Reno County residents and tabulate the results. A similar survey was conducted in the Barton County capital murder case against Adam Longoria, who was convicted of killing 14-year-old Alicia DeBolt, and that survey took about two to three months to complete, Bell told Judge Chambers. In the Longoria case, three out of four people surveyed said they believed Longoria was guilty, but Barton County District Judge Hannelore Kitts still denied a change-of-venue request. Craig's attorneys have argued that the extensive pretrial coverage by both Hutchinson and Wichita media outlets has made it impossible to pick a fair and impartial jury in Reno County. In a case prosecutors have described as mistaken identity, the charges against Craig and his co-defendant, Charles Christopher Logsdon, allege they were targeting local drug dealer Kayla Rodriguez but entered the wrong house with a third man, whose name has not been released. In November, Reno County jurors convicted Logsdon of first-degree murder, along with other charges alleging a conspiracy between the two and the third man. He was sentenced to life in prison. blog comments powered by Disqus Inappropriate comments include those which: are libelous or defamatory are obscene, pornographic or sexually explicit; substituting characters for letters is not acceptable degrade others on basis of race, gender, class, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability or other classification are predatory, hateful or intended to attack, intimidate or harass writers or other commenters. contain advertising or solicitation misrepresent your identity or affiliation Also: Please don't hijack comment threads to controversial topics; keep comments relevant to the topic.

The Counseling Center serves as a resource to faculty and staff by providing consultation, referral information, and education on mental health topics.
The Counseling Center does not provide personal counseling to university employees, only students. Employees seeking such services are encouraged to contact the Employee Assistance Program through Wayne Corporation (502.451.8262 or 800.441.1327).
Faculty and staff are often the first people in whom a student confides. If you should have questions about how to be supportive to a student, how to effectively address an emotional/psychological issue with a student, or how to make a referral, the Counseling Center staff can provide confidential consultation.
Faculty and staff who are seeking mental health services for themselves, family or friends may contact our office to receive referral information on providers in the community. For more information about when and how to refer a student for counseling, we have prepared the following document: (How to Refer a Distressed Student)
If there is a mental health topic that you would like to address with students in your class, residence hall or organization, you can contact our office at 502.272.8480. Common topics include:
We can accommodate most program requests with enough notice.
Suicide is the 2nd leading cause of death among college students. Faculty and staff are often in a position of influence with students and may have students confide in them thoughts of suicide. When this happens, it is important to feel prepared to respond in the most effective way possible. QPR (Question, Persuade, Refer) is a 90 minute program designed to give faculty and staff the basic tools to respond in such situations. To arrange a QPR Training for your department or group, contact the Counseling Center 502.272.8480. To learn more about QPR, click here.

An event to get your motor running
August 23, 2012 , 11:44 AM by Patrick Mitchell
The Ballarat Festival of Motoring is back again for 2012 and it promises to be bigger and better than ever. And it comes just in time for Father's Day! The organiser of the festival and ABC motoring contributor John Emery joined Prue Bentley on ABC Ballarat and South West Vic Mornings to reveal what will take place over the next fortnight. At Easter last year, thousands of motoring enthusiasts converged on the Ballarat airfield to mark the 50th anniversary since the last motor race was held in Ballarat. Feedback from the event has seen the addition of a number of key events at this year's festival – many of which will allow enthusiasts to show off their own vehicles and motoring expertise. The event will again pay homage to Ballarat's motoring history, with a car driven by motoring legend Jack Brabham (pictured above) on display. The Ballarat Festival of Motoring will begin on Saturday August 25 with events being held in Buninyong and Ballarat until Sunday September 2. For more information including a full program of events and ticket prices visit the Ballarat Festival of Motoring website.

2011 favourites
With everyone hitting memory lane at the moment, I thought I'd follow the same, well-worn path and revisit some favourite food experiences of 2011.
The year has unlatched many great surprises, from the Three-Milk Cake at El Capo – the Ryan Gosling of desserts, because it somehow becomes even more good-looking everytime you see it – to the delicious spiced rhubarb with soda at Duke Bistro (maybe my favourite drink of the year?).
My favourite meal of 2011 was at Momofuku Seiobo in Pyrmont (you can read my overdetailed, epic recap of the dinner here), while the place I could not stop revisiting was 121BC in Surry Hills, an excellent wine bar that actually ends up giving dark alleys a good name. The food there is gorgeous and so well-priced; and the staff so good-humoured that you don't mind the wait when it's inevitably busy or crowded. I wanted to propose marriage to the Eggplant, Provolone and Romesco Sauce sandwich at Sonoma's newest cafe in Alexandria. Similar expressions of lifelong commitment did cross my mind also for the choc-sponge with passionfruit mousse, praline and meringue at Bourke Street Bakery's new diner, Wilbur's Place.
The Bridge Room was an elegant addition to Sydney's restaurant scene. Its Strawberry Marshmallow Meringue with strawberry paper, yogurt and ripple invites joyful destruction with a spoon. This place is also proof that you needn't freak out if there's nothing you can eat on the menu – there are excellent vegetarian options if you just ask (and none of them a tired mushroom risotto).
I enjoyed the revamped Oscillate Wildly (which my friend Tom endorses as being better than Quay – at a fraction of the price) and Claude's (where the Tuesday series of "Mighty Bouche" dinners proved to be a lot of fun).
Hinky Dinks proved time travel was possible via barstool (and via the right old-school cocktail). And by the standards of any era, this '50s-charged bar is also a great place to be.
We also went long-distance dining, driving 220kms in one evening just to get to Biota Dining in Bowral, where each dish crackled and popped with flavour.
I went further than that to see UK jellymongers Bompas & Parr put on a sugar-laced and gelatin-set event with Burch & Purchese at Melbourne's Food and Wine Festival. The wobble of the architectural jellies and all-you-can-eat confectionery wonderland made the trip worth it.
And for some other 2011 highlights, here's a rundown of what was impressing me earlier this year.

Oh! Oh! If I'm not much mistaken, that photo of the El Capo three milk cake is from the afternoon when you and I went there together! :)

Thanks so much for all your very kind comments. Here's to more appetite-rewarding places in 2012!
Tori, thank you for your lovely words. I'm really stoked to know that those tips made your Sydney stay a little more memorable.
Claire, yes, that is correct, that was a fun afternoon. You have an amazing memory (& are very good company!), I would not dissuade you from a Sydney sojourn at all! - February 5, 2012 at 5:03 PM

Lowering the corp tax rate to encourage buisness's to expand and move to this country does something very important in my opinion.
It creates jobs for people who become taxpayers.
The corporations may get a tax break on a few percentage points on taxation. With the amount of people unemployed how much taxation revenue will 10 million people back to work generate? They will also not need gov't to supply their needs.
So you have federal expenses cut. Plus you have added tax revenue come into the fed gov't as well as state tax revenue increase.
Buisness's create jobs.
Give a little and get a lot in return. Simple math as I see it.
Plus you will end up with 10 million happier people.
You would be more credible if you admitted basic truisms and debated on debatable points. When you say something that everyone with a brain knows is ludicrous, everything else you say is ignored or derided.

The NHS-ester chemistry is widely used and referenced in the literature. NHS-esters reactions are fast and amine-specific. Because lysine residues are abundant and easily accessible of on the hydrophilic surface of most proteins, they usually crosslink with high efficiency. Using homobifunctional linkers is a "shotgun" approach to capturing interaction complexes; the reagents will crosslink any and all interacting molecules whose respective lysine residues come within the spacer length of the crosslinker. All that is needed to detect a particular interaction complex after crosslinking and (usually) cell lysis is a specific antibody or other probe for one of the target molecules in the complex.
The new diazirine photo-reactive linkers combine robust NHS-ester chemistry with a light-activatable reactive group that is able to crosslink with molecules where no amine residue is available or accessible (even DNA, polysaccharides and other molecules). Diazirines are more efficient than traditional photo-reactive moieties (aryl-azides) and give higher yields. These heterobifunctional linkers enable "two-step" reactions in which "bait" proteins can be labeled, added to a cell and light-activated to crosslink at the desired time (e.g., upon cell stimulation when the interaction of interested is presumed to occur).
The two Photo-amino acids Photo-Leucine and Photo-Methionine are used in metabolic labeling approaches as they are incorporated into proteins by the protein synthesis machinery (Ref 3, 4). They do not alter the cell's metabolism and are essentially non-invasive. They are relatively easy to use (no need for artificial tRNA) and non-toxic. As zero-length linkers, they are very specific, do not result in large artificial aggregates and provide excellent recovery yields (see "Stat3" figure above). They are available for two hydrophobic amino acids that cannot be targeted by traditional chemical crosslinkers, making them an ideal complement and especially interesting for studies of hydrophobic interactions. They are equally well suited for cell-surface and intracellular proteins.

Best Dj: 1985 was about the time Oscar P began building his HOUSE music roots. Foundations were laid with trips to Chicago, black vinyl pressings, Djs he followed in Brooklyn, and the Legendary Paradise Garage. We caught up with Oscar P to discuss his new album, how things came together and if electronic music has indeed come full circle.
Best DJ: Oscar welcome, looks like a good year so far for you?
I definitely feel blessed this year. Many great things have happened. I mean you work hard, put in the hours, but things don't happen over night.
Lets talk about the new Album Bk 2 My Roots?
Every year I do an album project, because I come from a time in the music industry where this is what sets up my year as an artist. I'm also always looking for new ways to market myself, and the albums have become a signature of what I'm about creatively. It's my roots re-visited. I've never done a project on this vibe before with a classic feel. If you hear every song on the album, and it takes you back to a club you lived in, then I've done my job.
Best DJ: Your past albums have touched musically on a hybrid of NY, Chicago, and Detroit. Why?
My past albums have had the same flavor, but each year it gets more defined. The more you do something the better you get at it. Thats how life works. Those are the influences I had growing up, and now its come full circle. All you have to do is look at the Top 10 on any of the top sites, and you will see each city represented nearly every week, and the influences can be seen worldwide. I think New York has earned its place in history with the producers and Dj's that have come out of the city. Those cities have made an impact on me. Its also no secret South Africa has as well. You can hear it on my records. This disco era is also important to me and you can hear it in my tributes to that culture.
Best DJ: If I tell you its often said that Djs like Carl Craig had to go to Europe to get recognition and that seventy percent of techno house records made in the US were sold in Europe, what would you have to say?
Thats no surprise. I built my name in places like London, when I was younger. I traveled whenever I could to get out there and work, and build fans. The cats in Detroit and Chicago were doing this alot longer. But it was the same for my generation. I wasn't popular in New York until I left New York.
Best Dj: As a lover of Chicago based house music. The first time you heard French Kiss by Lil Louis, what effect did it have on you?
HUGE Impact. That record changed the game. It pushed the landscape, and showed us what could be possible.
Best DJ: You mention being infuenced by the legendary hot mix 5 radio show broadcast from Chicago, how about Detroit's electrifying mojo?
Again HUGE. Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig, Stacey Pullen, Eddie Flashin Folwkes. These guys were in a realm of their own. Even today they continue to push music foward and influence me. But the Hot Mix 5 was the awakening, the catalyst, the root, my kunta kinte. I heard that first. I first went to Chicago in 85, and I came back with a shoe box of casettes. I then RAN to Vinylmania, and played these tracks I recorded from the radio to Manny Lehman. I found 95% of these records, and I was hooked.
Best DJ: The song Time Machine on the new album. This was also the name of a past album by you in 2009..
I'm sure very producer has a story like this one. When I first recorded Time Machine, no one really got it. I had heard a track from Mike Dunn, that I loved with him shouting out the scene in Chicago. I was like man I need to make something like that. So I came up with the concept of building a time machine, and going back to every grew up in. The Djs. Todd Terry, MAW, Danny Tenaglia, Roger S, Doc Martin. But the track came out and nothing happened. Then over the years as it floated around, it grew on people. In the last 2 years its the first track that everyone asks me about wherever I go. It's really amazing. Today, with technology music travels fast, but since we have so much music coming out each week it also travels slow. We re-launch it to see what happens. I think the song came out too early. Remix single pack is coming. We just finished the video directed by SWIFT. It's crazy.
Best DJ: For the video peek go here:
Oscar P - Time Machine - Open Bar Music
Best DJ: A lot of people don't realize thats you on the vocals.
When I was younger, rapping, breakdancing, lofting, was the culture here. I did all of that. In the past few years I gravitated to spoken word type stuff, on some of my records.
Best DJ: The Message with C. Scott received a heavy response from top Djs all over the world. Was WMC the climax?
WMC was def the climax for it. It was first broken in by Tony Humphries, and Louie Vega, and by the time we were in Miami, it was getting action from David Morales, Frankie Knuckles, Marques Wyatt, Doc Martin, Aki Bergen, Todd Terry, Miguel Migs, DJ Spen. It's an old school vibe that works for a lot of people. MFSB were pioneers. The work we put into it was crazy. We had 2 musicians we found on the subway. It's not all samples, and most of it is replayed. We concentrated on certain sections, because we knew it would be impossible to do a proper full cover. I think we did a good job. Ask Tom Moulton who mastered the original. He said it was close, but he could hear it. I mean, thats a compliment.
Best DJ: What other tracks, and artists appear on the album?
Oh man. Gypsymen aka Todd Terry, Foremost Poets, Davidson Ospina, Christian Scott, DJ Ax, Charles Dockins, Rainy Payne, DC's Born I Music, Moba Sound. My albums are usually a collection of collaborations, re-mastered remixes, and some unreleased material. My fave on the album is The Love Track. I have been getting great responses on this one.
Best DJ: South Africa seems to be very present on your Open Bar Music artist roster.
I'll hopefully be in SA later this year late October. SA is a hotbed of talent. I'm an A&R man at heart, so I love discovering and exposing talent. So in the past year we've introduced Ocean Deep, Lifa Bekwa, Vincemo, Tinozz, ZuluMafia, Dj Ouder, the Candi Bean crew and many talented individuals to the states. I see these guys growing in the music business, and I see them now working with many other labels as well. Thats a great sign. But I just open the door. They have to take their talent and build once the door is open.
BEST DJ: After all these years how do you handle critique?
In all walks of life, you need people to tell you that you suck as much as you need people to tell you that they love you. It goes hand in hand, but that how you grow. I have a solid team around me. People who will slap the ego out of me if I get out of line. It gets the job done. That fear of getting slapped...we dont want that. hahahahahah.
Best DJ: Any upcoming tour dates?
Right now I'm working on an album tour with stops Texas, Hawaii, San Diego, Denver, Berlin, UK, and South Africa towards the end of the year which Im highly excited about. Will be announcing details, and dates soon. The schedule changes each day as we get more offers each week.
Best DJ: What's been the biggest track you played out?
Right now anything by J Paul Getto, Martin Buttrich, Jimpster, Todd Terry, Ospina, Da Capo, Maurice Joshua, Will Montone, Rocco, Pezzner, Cajmere, Migs, Aki Bergen, I'm digging what Franco Du Mulero and Hector Romero are doing, the list is too long. I love house music. All forms, all cultures.
Best Dj: The underground sound seems to be using a lot of 80's loops right now? Listening to Soul Clap and Art Dept last season at DC 10, and a lot of those noises come from the older machines.
The Nu-Disco sound is huge. Soul Clap are my boys, and I am so happy to see them blow up. I saw those guys put in the work. Recently I saw Art Dept at a Verboten party. Great show. I love those styles. The thing about House music is, its ever-evolving, each generation brings in something new taking it to the future from elements of the past. The cycle comes full circle. That's the great thing about this. Everyday in the music business we we evolve, just like music. Thats a powerful thing.
Best Dj: the future of digital music, where is it going?
Streaming. Streaming. Streaming. For me its in here and now. Its in the details. I think the future is being created in the studio right now. Like we talked about Nu-Disco. People were doing this years ago. It just exploded the the last 2 years. This was the future back then.
Best Dj: You also have a love of soulful vocalists?
YES! I've worked with many great singer-songwriters. Arnold Jarvis, MJ White, Vicky Martin, David Walker, but my favorite collaborator is Marcus Pearson from the UK. We've done some amazing projects together. We just released his new album MY LIFE. You must listen to it.
Best DJ: For a quick listen of the new album go here. Listen on Traxsource
Best DJ: Are you playing on laptop, or CDs?
Generally CDs. I was raised on mixing with the pitch, so gravitating to cds from wax was easy. Though I'm on Ableton alot these days.
Best DJ: What are the next productions / remixes we can expect from Oscar P?
Just finished remixes for Paso Doble, Distant People, Luis Machuca, Benji Candelario, J Fortino, and I'm about to start work on others.
Best DJ: OK. Picture this scene OP. A mothership is about to land with all the musically departed. A Who's Who of spirits from the past to collaborate with you in your studio. Come on, anything is possible. Who is your dream team?
Hmmmm. Do they all have to be dead?
BEST DJ: Nope, go for it.
On Guitars Randy Rhodes, and Jimmy Hendrix. On Piano Johnny Hammond. On Drum Machine Kenny Dope and Todd Terry. On Vocals I gotta have Seal, Jamiroquai, and Michael H. from INXS all together. Then For Remixers to the end product....Carl Craig, Stimming, Nina Kravitz, and Black Coffee. Ok I'll stop...dammit!
Best DJ: Tell us something your fans don't know about you?
I was a hell of a dancer back in my time, and thats where all this started for me. The club circle. The baby powder. SSSSHHHHHH.

Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It 2-Sided Half Cube:
Bought this item for my duffel bag. Easily fits shampoo/conditioner and body wash in plastic lined compartment. The other side is mesh and works well for swim goggles and swim cap. I like that it keeps items organized and I do not have to worry about shampoo spilling out into my gym bag.
Best Uses
Comments about Eagle Creek Pack-It 2-Sided Half Cube:
Great product. I used it in combination with the Double-sided Cube, and was ridiculously happy with it. I used the 2-sided half-cube for socks & underthings/bathing suit, etc.; the 2-sided cube was for shirts, pants/skirt, etc.
The benefit of the double-sided feature: you can organize and separate your clothing in ways that make the most sense for you and your trip: by climate, clothing cleanliness, clothing type, etc.
I found the cubes incredibly useful and can't wait to use them on my next trip.

iPhone hacker comex publishes JailbreakMe exploit code
So you know that JailbreakMe site that let's you jailbreak your iOS device? Well, Apple published an iPhone and iPad update today to plug that hole, and right after, iPhone hacker "comex" published the source code of the JailbreakMe site. Why is this relevant? Well, now any would-be evildoer has access to that exploit and can thusly infect any pre-iOS 4.0.2 device using the same exploit. So you have two options here if you want to stay safe. You can update to 4.0.2, or if you want to stay jailbroken, download the PDF Warning tool. One interesting thing in all this is that if you are running the original iPhone or iPod touch, Apple doesn't have a fix for you. So you are essentially stuck with a vulnerable device unless you jailbreak it. How's that for backwards?

The Eddleston Water is a small tributary of the River Tweed. Over time the course of the river has been extensively altered and long sections were straightened to improve agricultural production. Changes in land management have also altered how the land drains. Together these changes have led to an increased risk of flooding in Eddleston and Peebles and damaged the river itself, leading to reduced water course length and habitat loss.
Following a detailed survey a restoration strategy has been developed which will reduce flood risk to Eddleston and Peebles and restore natural habitats. The Tweed Forum and the University of Dundee, who are delivering the project on behalf of SEPA, are talking with local landowners and farmers to obtain their views and to explore the potential for introducing restoration measures, including natural flood management, on their land.
Monitoring the effects of these measures is an important part of this project and will provide valuable data on how successful natural flood management and restoration measures are.
To view a leaflet which summarises the Eddleston Water Project please click here (906KB)
The Eddleston Water Project has successfully delivered it aims and objectives including successful partnership working a unique platform for investigation of the effectiveness of habitat improvement measures and natural flood management. This latest update summarises the project so far:

This chick is scary good.
Don't know who she is? You should...so here's some reading material:
MMA Weekly asks the question: Is Ronda Rousey the Babe Ruth of MMA?
She's not just all brawn, though...in fact, she's become somewhat of a sex symbol in the sports world posing for ESPN's Body Issue.
The New York Daily News reports the Body Issue is the most you'll be seeing of Rousey, though, as she quelled rumors that she would be posing nude in Playboy.
That Body Issue cover? Yeowza.
Rousey will fight Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 for the Women's Bantamweight Championship on February 23rd.

December Parks Report
The three main issues this month: 1) the playground at Couch Park is deteriorating 2) there was a stabbing of a homeless individual (adjacent to or within the park boundaries) when the police arrived to take the report the victim was not in the park the report locates the incident at NW 20th and Glisan 3) the park bond/levy 2013
History of Couch park and the current crisis:
In 1973 work began to redesign Couch Park from a flat school yard. The NWDA and the MLC school were active participants in making the park into a community gem. The NWDA was concerned by the closure of the Couch School and the failure to restore the Brown House. The federal funds earmarked for restoring the Brown House were shifted in to the property to create an active public park with three art installations. The school transferred responsibility for the upkeep of the park, the pool and the gym to PP&R in order to best maintain these assets for adjoining community.
The landscape architect Mike Whitemore was inspired by Peope's Park in Berkeley California and as a young graduate of architectural school volunteered on the project to build his resume in the 1970s. He was also the Land Use chair of the NWDA for many years. The playground structure was conceived as a way to honor the lost Brown House and for the pitch of the playground roof line to mirror the pitch of the roof of the William Temple House.
The entire Couch Park property is deeded to Portland Public Schools yet the park and and any repairs to playground are the responsibility of Portland Parks and Recreation. Right now repairs and equipment within the playground is in a critical boarding on unsafe condition
Public Event Notification – AIM for the CURE Melanoma Walk 5/11/13
111037 aim for the cure melanoma walk 13 prompts.pdf
Public Event Notification – Portland Trail Series – multiple dates in May / June, 2013
November Parks Update
In brief:
1) Equipment was removed at Couch Park-images included 2) First Meeting of the Ranger Advisory Meeting-notes from meeting below 3) Talks about the future of Summer Concerts at Wallace and Couch Park-to be addressed at the next S&L meeting 4) Mike Abatte talks with NWNW about the future of parks-previously posted 5) Grant with Friendly House to host the Bike-In movie-grant submitted 6) concerns expressed to the committee over the behavior and increasing size of crowds watching the Swifts 7) research project on history of Couch Park–to be presented on December 14th at MLC School
In Long:
I will not be able to cover each of these seven park related activities in this single month. There was no need to make park scan reports this month because of the intensity of contacts with park staff in person, on the phone and by e-mail this month.
This last month Couch Park Playground lost two pieces of playground equipment to wood rot. This included the zipline and and half of the monkey bars. At the NWNW board meeting the S&L Committee presented a list of questions. It seems that the replacement cost of the playground is half a million dollars. The questions asked at the NWNW board meeting were covered in a previous posting.
Dr. Tanya March (me) joined the Downtown Park Rangers Advisory Committee the first meeting was in October the next meeting will be in January. There is room for more community members in the committee if you are interested simply reply to this post. It is the role of the advisor to keep PP&R appraised of community needs regarding parks, advise on livability issues and provide input and evaluation. It was noted that various trains resulted in extra support at Couch Park for part of the summer. The dog off leash issue continues to be thorny. The park rangers are ambassadors, the enforcement option they have to ticket off leash dogs is no befitting of this roll, so currently they are only focusing on giving owners warnings. The parks department has been trying to enable rangers to cite dig owners with the type of fines currently only applicable by the staff of animal care and control. The rangers visited Couch Park 65 times in May, 87 times in June, 80 times in July 42 times in August and 55 times in September. From May-September rangers have the total of parks 30 park exclusions from Couch Park, 1o warnings, 18 dog citations (May, June, July only) and 15 "camps" removed from Couch Park. On the upside Parks is doing a better job working with both Police and homeless support groups like Join-more pro active approach. Couch is one of 16 parks in the new program. Couch Park was included because of the 500 "service calls" the year prior to the start of this new ranger program. Next meeting will focus on the private security force that come into the parks at 5 pm.
I also spent sometime researching and cleaning the mosaic tile art on various planters in the park (see picture top of this post). The artist was sculptor Jere Grimm who worked with several hundred community members to create these glass murals on two large planter beds in 1976. The glass was donated by Bullseye Glass of Portland. Teachers and students of Couch-Metropolitan Learning Center, Chapman, Cathedral School, Friendly House and Temple Beth Israel's religious education school all we active participant artists. "Students are doing their original pasteups with glass on paper, and each design will be transferred to the planters during construction", Beth Fagan The Oregonian May 23, 1976, p. 15.
We will be talking about Summer Park Concerts at the next S&L meeting and are actively looking for new volunteers.
Here is an interesting article from the May 23, 1976 issue of the Oregonian on the history of Couch Park: OregonianCouchParkMay23,1976.pdf.
Parks Update October
Last week PP&R wrote to (me/Tanya March) and a few others that there was a safety concern at Couch Park and that a fence was going up at part of the playground. I observed that the zipline was chained putting it out of service. Children were climbing on top of the zipline and the wood rot at the footing was causing the entire system to shake. I asked Mike Abbate about the lack of a fence and my concern for tranparency a sign appeared this morning.
The questions prepared by NWDA Safety and Livability over the week and worked on by the Questions for Mike Abbate with Notes with my meeting notes. Thank you to NWDA board member Juliet for getting our question some time at the NWNW Board Meeting.
09-12 Park Monitoring
In early September, just in time for the start of school, Couch Park received a nice sprucing-up from Portland Parks and Recreation – bark chips were added to the off-leash dog area, sucker growth around the park's trees was removed, and the ivy on the slope was trimmed. The park looked much better after the crews were done. Thanks to everyone one helped.
Public Event Notice – Chapman Swift Family Fun Run
Register for the inaugural Chapman Swift Family Fun Run; there's something for everyone! A free 1mile event for elementary age kids, then for everyone else, a 5k run around the gently undulating streets of NW Portland and beautiful Wallace Park. Both runs begin and end at Chapman School, where we will watch the world famous Vaux Swifts elude the hawks and disappear into the chimney for the night.
Sylvia Linginton site director of the SUN School at MLC for decades has passed.
Dear Neighbors,
Mr. Aptekar at Parks and Recreation wrote me that Sylvia Linington passed away last Wednesday after a long illness. Sylvia was a longtime recreation coordinator who retired from MLC Community School in 2008. Her 25+ year career with PP&R included time spent as a dance instructor, and running the programs at her beloved MLC, Ockley Green, Mt. Tabor, Fulton Park, & Montavilla CC.
A gathering to celebrate Sylvia is tentatively planned for the afternoon of Sunday, September 16 at her home in NW Portland. Sylvia's family has suggested memorial donations to the Friends of Forest Park organization. Sylvia gracious manner will be missed by everyone who knew her. She was a mentor and anchor for me for many years.-Tanya

Wallace Park had no reports this cycle. I will keep checking on ADA swing, bark chips in the dog park and tags which are all recurring issues.

In addition to these park reports I wrote the rangers asking for security at the final Couch Park Concert-aggressive pan handling and heaving drinking has been a concern this year. On the up side the wasps at Couch are not scary. These muddy sections on Couch Park are attracting wasps. Mud daubers are very unlikely to sting, even when thoroughly aroused-so children, dogs and other users are safe.

Nissan Displays Redesigned Food Truck At LA Show
The new truck is specially designed for mobile restaurateurs. The Nissan NV is smaller than the standard food truck, so it can fit into smaller roadside spaces. It has chrome bumpers, and built-in bluetooth technology.

Let's consider now, those vehicles that offer something really cheap - the food trucks that have become so popular. At the L.A. Auto Show, Nissan has on display a new truck specially designed for mobile restaurateurs. Our last word in business today is: culinary concept car.
The new Nissan NV is smaller than the standard food truck, so it can fit into smaller roadside spaces. It has chrome bumpers, and built-in Bluetooth technology. The design is also a departure from the old souped-up, second-hand mail truck look. One food truck owner described it as cool and futuristic. But perhaps best of all, she told the Los Angeles Times, having a major carmaker behind this, quote, brings a legitimacy to the food truck industry that we're starving for.

More copies of this ISBNKabbalah and Jewish Mysticism : an Introductory Anthology (06 Edition)by Dan Cohn-sherbok
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments. Publisher Comments:Rabbi Professor Dan Cohn-Sherbok presents the important texts which underpin Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism, providing supporting explanations to help readers unfamiliar with the subject.
Synopsis:Kabbalah is often associated with pop-stars, their distinctive red wrist bands, and media scepticism. In this fascinating work, Dan Cohn-Sherbok bypasses the hype, exploring the mystical tradition's spiritual and textual development from the early rabbinic period to the present day.

Looks like Sherman Falls... a great choice. Way to go Dad!!
September 24, 2008 - Sept 24
Mr.Waterfall in person!!!
Way to go Joe, you have done an incredible amount of work with promoting our waterfalls,on behalf of everyone whom has enjoyed our great gift Mother Nature has left for us many thanks and keep up the excellent work!
I look forward to discovering every 101 waterfall in Hamilton! Doe Mr. Hamilton Waterfalls offer tours?
I think Julie is right, definitely looks like Sherman Falls! What a beautiful backdrop for a picture!
My uncle, boyfriend and I ride our bikes from waterfall to waterfall! (not to all 101, we choose about 5-6 falls)It's a great ride and we get to see how powerful each one is thanx to the rainfall we have had this year!
Hi Jennifer,
Sadly I do not offer tours, however if you check out the www.cityofwaterfalls.ca/ website, it provides lots of information on the 101 waterfalls. Good luck and have fun exploring Hamilton's hidden gems!
This captures you and your mission perfectly!!
With all the work you've done to bring awareness to the waterfalls of Hamilton, you are truly changing the way Hamilton is perceived.
Thank you for showing us the beauty of Hamilton!
Hey Larry,
Great work! Beautiful photography. I thought of someone today who might be intrested in your talents.
I have a suggestion too.... How about making thumbnails so that you can see everyone at once and access the profiles you would like to see? That way I can see if you shot any of my friends!!!
Sandy...Love that idea. So much better than trying to scroll through..Larry great shot (as ususal) love the waterfalls...And Joe thanks for your efforts and love of Hamilton.
What a great picture!
I love Hamilton's waterfalls! It's always a great choice when hanging with friends or family.
The truth just shines trhough your post

Publisher pulls plug on ailing FHM magazine
Craig Dixon, March 16th 2012
"Once dominant in the "lad's mag" market that emerged from Britain in the 1990s, FHM - For Him Magazine - shocked market observers when it shed half its circulation in the last six months of last year.
It was a long way from the roaring days when, after launching in 1998, FHM and its main rival Ralph enjoyed strong circulation based around sharply designed and written glamour spreads, humour, sport and lifestyle.
But the launch of the more downmarket Zoo Weekly in 2006, followed by the global financial crisis, growth of online content and a splintering of the men's magazine market into niche titles spelled trouble. Ralph died in 2010. Last year, FHM's circulation fell from 50,154 copies a month to 26,026...."

This year's Oscar race is fully in swing. In anticipation of the big ceremony on February 26th, let's vote for our predictions in the big acting categories.
Please read these instructions. This post contains four polls, two for Best Actor and two for Best Actress. Pay attention to the criteria for each poll before you vote.
In this first poll, vote for your prediction of which Best Actor nominee will win the trophy. This has nothing to do with whether you liked the actor's performance or not. We are strictly trying to guess who the Academy will pick as the winner on awards night.
In this next one, this is where you vote for the actor you feel should win the prize, even if they're not actually likely to. This is where you voice your personal opinion.
Likewise, the first Best Actress poll is for your prediction of which woman will take the trophy.
Finally, vote for the actress you think most deserves the prize.
I think the Best Actor category is a lock for Jean Dujardin. Further, I believe that he should win it. In my opinion, he really gave the best performance of the year. I feel a little bad for Gary Oldman, though. Unbelievably, this is his first Oscar nomination, and it looks like the Academy will pass him right over.
The Best Actress category is tougher to predict. My gut feeling is that Meryl Streep will walk away with her third Oscar. However, the fact that this is Glenn Close's sixth nomination and she hasn't yet won may pull the Academy voters to her side as a sentimental favorite. Since I have not seen any of these movies, I don't have any strong feelings about which actress actually deserves to win.
How do you see Oscar night playing out?

Lamb with eye problemgreenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread |
Came home from work to find 5 day old ewe-lamb laying down while the other lambs and ewes were active. Closer inspection found right eye not opening normal and lots of clear fluid below eye. From Storey's Guide to Raising Sheep, I think lamb has Entropion? "lower eyelid, or both, may be rolled inward. Recommendation: "Inject 1 mL of penicillin just under the skin beneath the lower eye.What do you think? I plan to go out and look again closely at the lamb now. I did observe lamb nursing earlier so not critical yet but this is one of my two replacement twin ewe-lambs. Is entropion a hereditary defect? Mother is not a wooly-faced breed.
Thanks in advance.

Might look at this site: Purdue Animal Science, http://ag.ansc.purdue.edu/sheep/ANSC442/Semprojs/defects/genetic_defec ts.htmInverted eyelid (entropion) is widespread among most breeds of sheep. This trait is highly heritable. Inverted eyelids are a "turning in" of the margin of the eyelid and therefore bringing the eyelashes into direct contact with the cornea. This contact creates an irritation, making it necessary for the animal to blink constantly. As the animal blinks, it is compounding the problem by scraping the eyelashes across a more extensive area of the eye. This extreme irritation if left unattended, can eventually cause blindness. The condition may be noted at birth and treated at that time. Entropion should never be left to take care of itself. If left untreated, the condition could cause sore watery eyes, infection, ulcers on the cornea and even blindness. Entropion condition requires surgical correction by a veterinarian.
-- BC (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 03, 2002.
We have had entropion. Sometimes just holding the eyelid down for a minute or two to roll the lashes into their prpoer place will fix the problem. I have also inject pen.in aqueous solution (not the broad spectrum livestock antibiotic) into the lower lid with a fine (22 g.) needle for severe cases. This is always effective, but a somewhat delicate maneuver, and not for everyone. You need to wrap the lamb in a towel, and have a helper hold the lamb completely still. Entropion has been associated with selenium deficiency by some researchers. I also get rid of lambs that have it, so it is almost completely gone from my flock now. Good luck and steady hands!
-- Lisa (email@example.com), April 03, 2002.
Vicki on the dairygoat board has dealt with this before. You can fix it yourself (my grand-dad always did) by CAREFULLY snipping the eyelid with small scissors. Please look it up in the archives here or on the dairygoat forum. Hope it goes well for your little one! Cara
-- Cara Dailey (email@example.com), April 03, 2002.
Here is a good remedy but it takes two people who aren't afraid to inflict a little pain. Our vet showed us this method and it is easy to do and has been 100% effective for us. First, you need a clean pair of pliers. Yes, pliers. While one person holds the lamb, the other will take the pliers and crimp (pinch) the skin just below the bottom eyelid (provided that is where the eyelashes are turned in) all the way across the bottom. Then, puff the eye with a NFZ puffer. If you haven't vaccinated for tetanus, you should do so now. A shot of pennicillin wouldn't hurt either. What this does is cause trauma to the skin, allowing it to pull back from the eye. It sounds worse than it is and if we can do it, anyone can. The eyelid should become normal looking in a few days. Good luck.
-- JoAnn (email@example.com), April 03, 2002.
I did the needle in the eyelid last night by myself. Looking better already this morning. Thank you for your suggestions. Used a towel to hold the lamb still. Will check again tonight.Thanks again, Chris Nass
-- BossNass (firstname.lastname@example.com), April 04, 2002.
We use a weak solution of Pau D Arco tea as an eye wash - you might want to use this to help avoid infection. It is wonderful, cheap alternative to expensive antibiotics. Email for details

It takes a Jew...
They say you have to be ethnic to get away with telling an ethnic joke; so only Jews can tell Jewish jokes, Blacks Black jokes, etc. And Jon Stewart can certainly be funny (though, in the past few years, he seems to be the one laughing the hardest at his own jokes: never a good sign!). Yet, sometimes he seems to be working too hard to play the "Jew card" and remind us of his Jewishness, in order to validate his (and his non-Jewish cohorts') right to perform Jewish and Israel-themed routines. It might help if Stewart could somewhat plausibly pull off even the basics, like correctly pronouncing the name of the month of Tammuz! The whole thing is remininscent of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry gets offended after a non-Jewish comic converts and then adds Jewish jokes to his routine. Perhaps the problem is that Jon Stewart seems to lack any of that pathos or self-deprecation that one usually expects when a Jewish comic makes the Jewish People the brunt of his or her jokes. In other words, he doesn't really seem to be laughing at himself.

not funny
I love Jewish jokes; in fact I went to see Old Jews Telling Jokes, on Broadway, a little risqué, but hilarious. When Jews make jokes out of seeming ignorance, and think that Judaism is about rugalach, and gefilte fish, it's not funny, or silly, it just perpetuates a sterotype, and does nothing to enhance Judaism. We can certainly find things to joke about in Judaism, but one someone really knows something about it, it's so much funnier.

Toronto, Ontario (PRWEB) June 10, 2012
Toronto plumbers at Same Day Plumbing are now offering Toronto plumbing service discounts to save consumers money this summer. In addition to providing Toronto plumbers service discounts Same Day Plumbing is also offering a free, in person, no obligation estimate to make it easy for consumers to know what they are getting into before agreeing to Toronto plumbing repair. "When we tell people we will give them a free, no obligation estimate the same day for plumbers service in Toronto you can hear the relief in their voice," says Austin of Same Day Plumbing.

We don't jack up the price to make up the difference like other Toronto plumbers," says Austin. A quick search for Toronto plumber reviews on Google reveals that many people feel gouged by the plumber they hire. "We strive for 100% complete customer satisfaction because 90% of our customers are repeat customers. We know if we treat people right they will come back to us for all of their Toronto plumbing needs."
Same Day Plumbing also offers specialized Toronto plumbing services such as trenchless sewer repair and hydro-jetting, these technologies are used to fix and replacement main sewer laterals.

We invest in the best equipment so we can get the job done quickly, which saves our Toronto plumbing customers money," says Austin. A lot of the calls Same Day Plumbing gets are from people who have quoted a job by another Toronto plumber, but they want a second opinion.

One of the most popular Toronto plumber service discounts currently being offered by Same Day plumbing is their $99 drain cleaning coupon.

Same Day Plumbing of Toronto is also currently offering a coupon for $200 off of a new water heater. The coupon is applicable to removal of the old water, installation of the new water heater and any associated water or gas lines. "When the hot water isn't working people usually want to get it fixed as quickly as possible but they don't want to get gouged. We send an experienced Toronto plumber on site. Our goal is to see if we can fix the water before just replacing it. If a new water heater is needed or the customer wants to upgrade to a tankless hot water heater we provide a free estimate for the installation," says Austin.

Driving Even with Early Alzheimer's Could Be Risky for Roanoke Seniors
By Chris Head
Dementia is unpredictable, even at an early stage. There is no telling what the patient will remember, or more so, forget. This is extremely true when driving.
Older people with failing memories often keep driving, but a new study suggests that the risk of Alzheimer's patients getting lost, even on familiar streets, is greater than once thought.
There may be no safe period behind the wheel, even with early dementia, because the disease is unpredictable, Linda Hunt of Pacific University in Oregon tells HealthDay News.
An estimated 30 to 45 percent of Alzheimer's patients continue to drive after diagnosis, HealthDay reported.
The study looked at media stories published between 1998 and 2008 that involved Alzheimer's patients reported missing. Of 207 drivers who were lost while driving:
- 32 died
- 35 were found injured
- 70 were not found at the time the data was analyzed.
- Some had driven almost two days and covered roughly 1,700 miles while lost. Most had set off on routine trips.
"We all want to avoid an older person having a tragic ending," Hunt said. She notes that passengers, other drivers and pedestrians also are at risk.
However, advocates for Alzheimer's patients don't believe driving privileges should be stripped away upon a diagnosis. "Our position is that a diagnosis alone is not sufficient to have someone's driving privileges taken away because many people in the early stages can still drive safely," said Elizabeth Gould of the Alzheimer's Association's national office. Driving needs to be monitored and evaluated by a professional, such as an occupational therapist.
The Mayo Clinic offers several warning signs for determining the best time to take loved ones away from the wheel. They include:
- Forgetting how to locate familiar places
- Failing to observe traffic signals
- Making slow or poor decisions
- Problems with changing lanes or making turns
- Hitting the curb while driving
- Driving at an inappropriate speed
- Becoming angry and confused while driving
- Confusing the brake and gas pedal
At Home Instead of Roanoke, we're what you might call "fans" of the 40/70 rule: When you're 40, or your parents are 70, it is time to start discussing plans for their old age and how they will be cared for, should a disease like Alzheimer's ever set in. We believe the 40/70 Rule offers the best time to broach the topic of senior driving, which can be a rather touchy subject.
When dementia patients do come off the road, don't worry. Home Instead CAREGivers offer transportation for running errands or basic trips around town. Just because Alzheimer's robs an elderly person of their driving skills doesn't mean they won't be able to accomplish activities made easier by four wheels. Simply give our Lynchburg home care office a call at 434-385-0321.
Playgrounds are becoming popular for Senior Citizens.
Yes, playgrounds.
Yes, playgrounds.
By Betsy Head
Call it the Circle of Life: Playgrounds are becoming popular for senior citizens.
Yes, playgrounds (and we're not talking Vegas!). And no, we're not talking about the stations you see on walking trails that offer pull-ups and sit-ups and climbing either. Nope, we're talking honest-to-goodness playgrounds, fenced off in the middle of a city and filled with colorful, fun equipment – just like the ones you'd see for kids.
They're fun, but not just for fun. Each playground furnishing is designed for flexibility training, to improve balance, or simply get the joints and muscles and blood moving.
These senior parks are popping up throughout Europe and Asia. The first in London opened in 2008, followed by a second in the city's Hyde Park earlier this year.
Still, there aren't any of these geriatric playgrounds in the United States, from all the research we've seen. They're not terribly pricy, either, and the ones that have popped up have drawn considerable media attention. The one in London's Hyde Park cost $60,000, or about the price of a well-loaded SUV.
Barring crossing the ocean every day to go to London's senior playgrounds, older Americans should, at the very least, be taking daily walks, using the stairs (if they can) or finding ways to keep their joints turning and blood flowing. Local YMCAs and gyms offer wellness programs for adults 50 and older to encourage regular senior exercise. Senior centers can also be a great resource. Go Googling for the locations of such places in your neck of the woods.
Regular exercise is important the more a person ages. Physically-active seniors are more likely to keep their independence as their balance, flexibility and overall health problems lessen. Regular exercise also helps prevent muscle and bone loss.
At Home Instead Senior Care, we believe that keeping an older adult's mind, body and social life active can prevent or even reverse frailty, both mentally and physically. Our Get Mom Moving program includes ideas for keeping seniors (not just moms or women) engaged in life mentally, physically and spiritually.
As for playgrounds? Seems like it could be an easy purchase for your locality. Give a ring to your leaders and see if one could be included in a budget item.
