Newport Jazz Festival 2011: Joey DeFrancesco Trio In Concert
Airs Tuesday, December 20 at 9:00 p.m.
Not much in jazz combines the churchy moan and shaking hip quite like a Hammond B-3 organ.
And Joey DeFrancesco is one of its modern masters — he grew up around the instrument since birth
(his father is also a jazz organist), cut his first major-label album in his teens and has been honing his
innate swing instincts since then. He's 40 now, and will celebrate with an eponymous album in September;
at Newport, he brings a soulful trio to the Harbor Stage. Recorded live at the Newport Jazz Festival on Saturday, August 6, 2011.

She's a magazine editor and graphic designer. He's a retired computer consultant.
When Ed Charbonneau and Erica Berven decided to buy their first home, they had a vision in mind: Atomic Ranch, as in the Space Age-era houses that have become the height of retro chic to a new generation of homeowners.
As temperatures drop and daylight is in shorter supply, we fight back: We crank up the heat in our homes and turn on lights earlier and earlier. And yet we also want to keep our heating and electric bills as low as we can.
One of the joys of late summer and early fall is spending deck time with family and friends. That is, of course, unless your outdoor structure has become a debris-laden, splintering eyesore.
A few weeks ago, I took an antique chair to TapeMeasure in Pleasantville to get reupholstered.
A few years ago, a good friend of mine asked me to help with the difficult task of clearing out her childhood home. I rented a small U-Haul, drove down to Queens, and helped her sort some of the amazing treasures her family collected over time.

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
January 24, 2011 In The Crease Roberto Luongo
by Philip Myrland
Displaying pretext
Since recording his 400th career win, Chris Osgood has received a lot of attention from media around the NHL. Yet there is another goaltender in the league today that has also been climbing into rarefied air on the all-time list on a more important goalie stat, only he is doing it without much notice at all. The latter stat is Goals Versus Threshold, and here is the list of the current top 10 goaltenders in NHL history:
Goaltenders, Career GVT Rank Name Career GVT 1. Patrick Roy 433.7 2. Dominik Hasek 425.6 3. Jacques Plante 361.8 4. Tony Esposito 354.5 5. Glenn Hall 344.1 6. Martin Brodeur 297.7 7. Ed Belfour 270.7 8. Bill Durnan 254.1 9. Bernie Parent 249.0 10. Roberto Luongo 248.6
According to this metric, Roberto Luongo has prevented more regular season goals against than all but nine goalies in hockey history, and by the end of this season, there is a good chance that there will only be seven names left ahead of him.
To achieve such heights is impressive, but it is made even more impressive by the fact that Luongo is still in the middle of his career. Here is the reordered list based on each of those 10 netminders' career GVT through the age of 31:
Goaltenders, Career GVT through Age 31 Rank Name GVT though Age 31 1. Patrick Roy 289.9 2. Roberto Luongo 248.6 3. Bernie Parent 203.7 4. Jacques Plante 202.7 5. Tony Esposito 196.6 6. Martin Brodeur 195.1 7. Glenn Hall 194.9 8. Bill Durnan 174.3 9. Ed Belfour 154.9 10. Dominik Hasek 151.7
Luongo not only ranks second on the list, but he achieved that ranking despite having three months left in the current season, plus an entire season lost to the 2004-05 Lockout. Under some fairly reasonable assumptions, Luongo might have been at the top if he had been able to make up those games played.

Luongo's reputation as a playoff choker is completely undeserved. His career postseason save percentage is the same as his regular season mark. I did some off-the-cuff analysis last year and found his reputation is based on one really bad game (you know the one I mean); he actually performed extremely well in other elimination games.
Obviously I agree with every word in here, but it's interesting to find out why goaltenders are so badly misjudged. Historically, there have been very few good goaltenders who have completely "fallen through the cracks" of always being on bad teams. The two that come to mind are Tony Esposito and Curtis Joseph. Luongo will be in the same boat if the Canucks don't have one deep playoff run in the next four years.

Can optic neuritis be prevented?In patients with an infectious cause of optic neuritis, eradication of the underlying infection will usually prevent further episodes. In patients with a known immune disorder such as systemic lupus or vasculitis, treatment of the underlying disorder will usually prevent further episodes. In patients with known multiple sclerosis, treatment of the multiple sclerosis may decrease the incidence of future attacks of multiple sclerosis, including optic neuritis. Current treatment includes high-dose intravenous corticosteroids during attacks of multiple sclerosis and chronic preventative therapy including immune-modulating drugs (interferon [Roferon-A, Intron-A, Rebetron, Alferon-N, Peg-Intron, Avonex, Betaseron, Infergen, Actimmune, Pegasys], glatiramer acetate [Copaxone], or natalizumab [Tysabri]), immunosuppressants (mitoxantrone [Novantrone], cyclophosphamide [Cytoxan], azathioprine [Imuran, Azasan], or methotrexate [Rheumatrex, Trexall]). Non-approved therapies that have not shown definite benefit in preventing attacks of multiple sclerosis include plasmapheresis (plasma exchange) and intravenous immune globulin. There are a large number of drugs under study by medical investigators for the prevention of recurrent attacks and manifestations of multiple sclerosis, including optic neuritis, that have yet to receive FDA approval. In patients with diabetes-related optic neuritis, lifestyle modification (weight control, dietary changes and exercise) plus blood sugar stabilization can decrease the incidence of future vascular complications of diabetes. There are no scientifically validated preventive measures for other types of optic neuritis. Anecdotal evidence suggests that maintaining a healthy lifestyle with proper attention to good nutrition, exercise, prevention of obesity, maintenance of emotional health and adequate rest, together with avoidance of toxins such as cigarettes, may prevent many diseases. Regular annual eye exams are critical to maintaining healthy vision. Early treatment of vision problems can prevent permanent optic nerve damage (atrophy).

Apple TV (2010) Jailbreak via SHAtter shown off
Looks like Apple TV (2010) can indeed be Jailbroken via the SHAtter exploit just like any other iOS 4.x device to date. Keep in mind the image above is just a tease and the Jailbreak hasn't been packaged for the masses yet, nor have we heard of any Apple TV-centric Jailbreak apps or extensions yet, but we can dream, right?
What's on top of your list? Xvid and MKV streaming? Hulu Plus? Safari web browser? Let us know here or in our brand spanking new Apple TV Forum.
[@MuscleNerd, thanks to everyone who sent this in]
There are 18 comments. Add yours.
I received mine last night and have not spent a great deal of time with it but Hulu Plus & Safari web would be nice. Would have been nice to be able to plug my external drive directly to the box.
It would be nice to see slingplayer do some updates to support this along with the iPad and ios4 but I won't hold my breath
MKV from external.
Why wouldn't this be done out of the box. I just don't understand it.
Guess it's Roku
@aaron: you'll pay $99 for the AppleTV and then hack it, potentially killing the warranty, yet you have a problem paying $0.99 on a rental?
NETFLIX, and Standard HULU (not Plus), which would require a Safari Browser. OR just an app to provide VeeBeam functionality, wirelessly pull anything off my MacBook.
Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I'm impressed! Very useful info specifically the last part :) I care for such information much. I was looking for this particular information for a long time. Thank you and best of luck.
I enjoy you because of your whole hard work on this web site. Gloria take interest in setting aside time for internet research and it is easy to understand why. We all hear all concerning the powerful ways you create worthwhile thoughts via the blog and even increase response from other individuals on the area of interest so our girl is being taught so much.

Kids' Nonfiction
Who wouldn't want to know about the 100 Deadliest Things On The Planet? It's just one of the new juvenile books available at the library, and it's featured in the Kids' Nonfiction list on the New, Best & Fun page. The book includes the wolfsbane plant, events such as tsunamis, diseases such as smallpox, and scorpions, sharks and killer bees.
For those who may want something a little less anxiety inducing, there's also a new illustrated biography of Helen Keller titled Helen's Big World: The life of Helen Keller. And if you're a gardener who wants to get your children interested in gardening, try Outdoor Crafts: Lots of fun things to make and do outside; it's divided into three segments, Make It, Cook It, and Create It. The young scientist in the family may enjoy Eplore Flight, which presents the history of human flight and includes projects to demonstrate aeronautic science.
The Kids' Nonfiction list always includes a nice variety of subject matter and great books for young readers. So check it out!

Nash, T.H., Ryan, B.D., Gries, C., Bugartz, F., (eds.) 2001. Lichen Flora of the Greater Sonoran Desert Region. Vol 2. Tempe, AZ
: foliose, up to 2-3(-4) cm in diam., irregular to more often orbicular
: usually +linear and discrete to crowded and overlapping, 0.1-0.5(-1) mm broad, +flat to weakly convex, prostrate
upper surface
: tawny gray to gray-brown or brown, epruinose but occasionally developing a patchy epinecral layer in some parts, without soredia or isidia but sometimes developing irregular sparse to rather abundant lobules
upper cortex
: paraplectenchymatous
: white
lower cortex
: paraplectenchymatous
lower surface
: black, sometimes paler at the lobe tips, dull to weakly shiny; rhizines: simple, black
: frequent and usually present, up to 0.9 mm in diam., sessile; margin: entire or more often becoming irregularly crenate or even lobulate, sometimes with a corona of rhizines
: ellipsoid, 16-23(-27) x 8-10.5 µm, Physcia-type
Spot tests
: all negative in cortex and medulla
Secondary metabolites
: zeorin.
Substrate and ecology
: usually on rock, occasional on mosses over rock
World distribution
: North America, Europe, and eastern Asia
Sonoran distribution
: mountains of Arizona, southern California, and Baja California.
: Phaeophyscia decolor is distinguished by its narrow lobes, brownish color, white medulla, and almost consistent occurrence on rocks. The species is most likely confused with P. sciastra, that usually is distinguished by the presence of at least sparse isidia. Very small, poorly developed or badly treated specimens can be especially difficult, although, if there is adequate material for a chemical analysis, P. sciastra can be distinguished by its lack of significant amounts of zeorin. Fragmentary specimens too small for chemical analysis may not be determinable with certainty. Although this species is submerged into P. endococcina by Moberg (1977 & 1995), in western North America all specimens with a pigmented medulla have Pachysporaria-type spores and are clearly distinguished from P. decolor.

TRICK AND TREAT: A recent survey found that workers were willing to give away computer passwords in return for a chocolate bar (the reward for completing the survey).

Trick and treat: Workers divulge computer passwords for the promise of candy
Worried about someone stealing your identity? Hopefully you're more careful than our friends across the pond. Organizers of the Infosecurity Europe computer security trade show were alarmed to discover this week that 121 of 576 subway riders (21 percent) at London's Liverpool Street Station were prepared to reveal their computer passwords in return for a chocolate bar. The only comforting thing about the survey is that more people kept their mouths shut this time than they did last year when 64 percent of those polled were willing to part with their secret code in return for chocolate. It seems that women were most vulnerable on this score: 45 percent of women compared with 10 percent of the men surveyed gave up their passwords to researchers. "This research shows that it's pretty simple for a perpetrator to gain access to information that is restricted," says Claire Sellick, event director of Infosecurity Europe, set to begin in London on April 22, "by having a chat around the coffee machine, getting a temporary job as a [personal assistant] or pretending to be from the IT department." We hope the chocolate was good, at least.
Toxic pets?
Beware, dog and cat owners: a new study indicates that our beloved furry friends may contain high levels of toxic chemicals. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), based in Washington, D.C., found levels of flame retardants (used in fabrics and furniture) in kitties that were 23 times higher than in humans; it also found amounts of the potent neurotoxin mercury (likely from fish in pet foods), a carcinogen, in our purring pals at levels five times higher than in people. Our pooches didn't fare much better: EWG discovered perfluorinated compounds, which are used in stain and grease-proof coatings, at levels 2.4 times higher than in humans. Perfluorinated chemicals have been linked to liver damage and other problems. The research was based on blood and urine samples from 35 dogs and 37 cats at Hanover Animal Hospital in Mechanicsville, Va., collected in December and January. "This study shows that our pets are susceptible to the absorption of potentially harmful chemicals from our environment just as we are," said veterinarian John Billeter, who conducted the tests. "Perhaps even more troubling is that these chemicals have been found in higher levels in pets than in humans, implying potential harmful consequences for their health and well-being and the need for further study."
Maybe we should just ask for directions
It was music to the ears of the direction-challenged among us when Apple and Skyhook Wireless, Inc., cut a deal earlier this year that allowed owners of the newest crop of iPhones and iPods to use Skyhook's Wi-Fi Positioning System (WPS) to map their locations. The bad news: a new study indicates that the system is vulnerable to hackers who could manipulate it and send us astray. Under the Skyhook agreement, mobile phones and digital music players send information about wireless access points they detect to Skyhook computer servers, which in turn sends back data that enables users to pinpoint their positions. This is handy when you're looking for restaurants or shops—or if you're just plain lost. That is, unless some nogoodnik writes a malicious computer program that sends your handheld device false information, according to a group of computer science researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich. The researchers were able to disrupt Skyhook's WPS system—which doesn't require access points on its network to prove their authenticity—by using little more than a laptop, a Wi-Fi access point transmitter, and a database of Wi-Fi access point locations. Let's hope Apple and Skyhook take precautions to prevent such disruptions before too many people are led astray!

IDOT launches 2013 Yellow Dot Program | News
Title (Max 100 Characters)
(KFVS) - The Illinois Department of Transportation, along with the Sangamon County Health Department, first-responders and local participants kicked off the 2013 Yellow Dot program on Thursday.
Due to the successful introduction of the program in 2011, the speakers highlighted the results of last year's program and encouraged all residents of Illinois to take part in this simple, life-saving initiative.
"We want everyone to understand and receive the benefits of the Yellow Dot program," said Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann L. Schneider. "Many children have allergies or disorders and by having detailed medical information readily available to first responders, it could potentially save a child's life."
The Yellow Dot program is a traffic safety initiative that provides first responders with critical personal information necessary to treat victims at the crash site. Because the first hour or the "golden hour," following an injury is the most crucial, this information can mean the difference between life and death.
Last year's press event introduced the program with special focus on the benefits to the elderly. To start this year's program, IDOT is stressing the importance of Yellow Dot for everyone, especially for children with serious health issues or conditions as well.
"Preventing disease, illness and injury is the primary role of public health. Preparing, as is promoted by the Yellow Dot Program, is a valuable tool in keeping families as safe as possible" said Jim Stone, Director, Sangamon County Department of Public Health.
Approximately 110,000 Yellow Dot packets have been distributed up to this point. In addition, several Yellow Dot workshops have been held for people to pick-up packets, have their photo taken for the packet, along with receiving additional life-saving traffic safety tips.
Participants are supplied with a simple, bright yellow decal for their car and a folder. The decal is placed in a conspicuous and consistent place – in the lower left-hand corner of the rear window on the driver's side. The dot signifies there is a folder in the glove compartment containing the following medical information about the motorist: participant's name, current close-up photo, emergency contact information, patient's physician information, medical conditions, recent surgeries, allergies and a list of current medications.
Having access to this information allows first responders to make important decisions regarding emergency treatment and can better prepare emergency hospital staff in the receiving room.
The Yellow Dot program, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, was originally introduced in Connecticut in 2002. For more information on the program and to find a distribution center near you, visit www.yellowdotillinois.org.

Force India deputy team principal Bob Fernley feels it would be unsafe to let rookies test the new Pirelli tyres at Silverstone.
While the likes of Lotus and Sauber are using Kimi Raikkonen and Nico Hulkenberg respectively, a few teams have opted to use only their youngsters at this week's Young Driver Test despite the FIA's decision to allow race drivers to sample the new compounds.
Force India are yet to name their drivers for the Silverstone meeting, but Fernley warns that only experienced campaigners should be testing on the new tyres on safety grounds.
"Yes [race drivers will run] I think for a number of reasons, just safety alone," Fernley said. "The last thing you want to do is to put an untried tyre on to Silverstone with young drivers... I think that it's important for your own peace of mind as a team, and each team has to make its own decision.
"But it's quite important for each team to make its own mind up as to how it wants to expose a young driver, and I would feel more comfortable if our race drivers - having got the experience of the previous tyre to this one - were actually the first part of that process."

5/27/2005: Uzbekistan: Commission to release Policy Focus at Carnegie Endowment roundtable with International Crisis Group |
Contact: WASHINGTON - Commissioner Michael Cromartie will present the findings of the Commission's Policy Focus on Uzbekistan and recommendations for U.S. policy at a roundtable "Human Rights and Instability in Uzbekistan" at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace on Friday, June 3, from 8:15-9:30 a.m. Commissioner Cromartie will be joined by Robert Templer, Director of the Asia Program at the International Crisis Group, who will present Crisis Group's just-released report, "Uzbekistan: the Andijon Uprising," on recent events in Uzbekistan. The meeting will be chaired by Dr. Martha Brill Olcott, Senior Associate at Carnegie. In April 2005, the Commission recommended to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that the State Department designate Uzbekistan a "country of particular concern," or CPC, in accordance with the 1998 International Religious Freedom Act, due to its egregious, systematic, and ongoing violations of religious freedom. CPC designation carries with it the requirement that the U.S. government take specific policy actions, up to and including the cessation of economic and security assistance. Policy Focus on Uzbekistan includes a number of recommendations for U.S. policy. Many of those recommendations were formulated on the basis of a Commission trip to Uzbekistan in October 2004, when the Commission met with Uzbek government officials, human rights activists, religious leaders, and former prisoners in the Ferghana Valley, including in Andijon, as well as in Tashkent and Samarkand. Uzbek government policies towards religious groups and individuals foreshadowed the violence in Andijon. The Commission has joined others in calling for an international investigation, possibly by the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) which has an on-the-ground presence in Uzbekistan, to clarify the tragic course of events in Andijon.

While it's a slight tangent, there's a tendency with these programs to emphasize the positive, which is things like success stories. The problem is, this makes their benefit look like less than it is. The bigger piece isn't going to be making a kid dealt a bad hand by life completing college, it's going to be making the kid dealt a bad hand by life drop out of high school to get a job instead of drop out of high school to go to prison. I've read a paper here and there on this topic, and while I don't remember enough to give even estimates, this effect is probably larger than increased college graduation rate. So for cost benefit analysis, it's important to keep in mind not just the increased graduates at the upper end but the relatively better performance of people on the lower end, which is probably where these programs really pay off. The real winners are the lifers at Burger King who would otherwise be lifers in prison, not the odd success story that everyone likes to talk about that goes on to be an engineer.
ONE of this week's new NBER working papers is a fascinating look at the impact of early childhood education by Susan Dynarski, Joshua Hyman, and Diane Whitmore Schanzenbach. The abstract reads:
This paper examines the effect of early childhood investments on college enrollment and degree completion. We use the random assignment in the Project STAR experiment to estimate the effect of smaller classes in primary school on college entry, college choice, and degree completion. We improve on existing work in this area with unusually detailed data on college enrollment spells and the previously unexplored outcome of college degree completion. We find that assignment to a small class increases the probability of attending college by 2.7 percentage points, with effects more than twice as large among blacks. Among those with the lowest ex ante probability of attending college, the effect is 11 percentage points. Smaller classes increase the likelihood of earning a college degree by 1.6 percentage points and shift students towards high-earning fields such as STEM (science, technology, engineering and medicine), business and economics. We confirm the standard finding that test score effects fade out by middle school, but show that test score effects at the time of the experiment are an excellent predictor of long-term improvements in postsecondary outcomes. We compare the costs and impacts of this intervention with other tools for increasing postsecondary attainment, such as Head Start and financial aid, and conclude that early investments are no more cost effective than later investments in boosting adult educational attainment.
Bolding is mine; that's quite a result. The authors note that early interventions tend to boost test scores immediately but not later in life. This is a well-known dynamic that has often been used to argue against the idea that such interventions can generate lasting benefits. But this paper explains that while test scores later in life don't necessarily show improvement as a result of interventions, other variables do show sustained benefits. In particular, early interventions have a meaningful, positive effect on college attendance, degree completion, and matriculation in technical fields. Indeed, there is a tight correlation between the improvement in test scores shown at the time of the intervention and the increase in the likelihood of attending college.
The authors' work is complementary to that of economists like James Heckman. He explained the seeming benefit of early interventions despite a fade-out in test scores by showing that such programmes could improve the non-cognitive skills that are often associated with educational and professional success—things like motivation, self-discipline, and self-esteem.
Support for early childhood interventions for disadvantaged children is a pretty good bet for economies interested in bolstering long-run growth and economic mobility. It's not the sort of programme with a strong political constituency, however, and so in an environment of weak growth and broad austerity, it's the sort of investment that's likely to get cut while corporate subsidies and benefits for retirees are maintained.

Randy Jones :: He Loves the Nightlife
When multi-platinum recording artist Randy Jones was tripping the light fantastic as one of The Village People - Randy was the "Cowboy" - he wasn't just igniting the nightlife culture...he was disco! "That was a very special time...especially in nightlife," Jones describes that decade which spanned the 70's into the 80's. "It can never be reproduced." But if anyone has the right combination of talent, credibility and personality to give us a glimpse behind the velvet rope of Studio 54 and recreate the glamor of those days, Randy Jones is the man who was in the thick of it.
Beginning on Sunday, May 6, Randy Jones begins a stint at Splash as the host of "Sunday Night Fever" and will be proving that no one can stop the music.
As a significant contributor of popular culture within one of the most influential groups of the disco era, Jones was adding to the palette and texture of the most provocative age in New York City history. "You never knew what was going to happen - there was always some excitement," Randy revealed. Everyone wanted to get into the most star-studded and exclusive clubs in town. Studio 54, Xenon, and the Palladium always had lines up the block, which Jones was able to by-pass with his pop-star celebrity.
"I'm honored that my friends over at Splash approached me about doing 'Sunday Night Fever,'" but really is there any another gay music icon that they could have asked to host a night of frolic and mischief that is set to pay homage to one of the greatest eras in club culture? Randy Jones is the undisputed leading disco expert able to head such a event. "I had been looking for a larger living room anyway," he confessed, but in all honesty, for Randy it is about catching lightning in a bottle, and celebrating great music and fun!
"I want to see everybody there, who wants to see me! I like my friends and like to make new friends - this is a nice fit for me." If we're lucky enough Randy will be convinced to take to the stage and drive the crowd into overload with a rendition of one of the many hits he performed as part of the legendary Village People. "I got my own little setlist - I might jump in up there and give an hour of what I like to listen to."
Jones has also promised that if he must, he'll rattle the cages of some of his friends from the Studio 54 days and enlist them to come out to reinvigorate the dance floor. "I'm sure they'll love to come join me down at Splash and regale us with stories of the disco era."
The legendary space located at 50 West 17th Street, Splash has been renovated and fully equipped to bring the disco into the 21st Century. All you need to bring are your boogie shoes, Randy Jones has got the rest! "Sunday Night Fever" hosted by Randy Jones launches on May 6 at Splash with disco classics beginning at 8pm and it's FREE before 10pm.

There are recipes you make because you like the way they taste (chicken pot pie, carrot risotto, thin and chewy pizza crust); there are recipes you make because you're trying to show love (hot chocolate cookies, homemade cheesecake, soft and chewy salted caramel); and then, also, there are recipes you make for another reason, one not unlike the reason to get a new job or start a garden or build all your furniture yourself:
Because you didn't think you could.
Maybe this is how climbers feel about new mountains, or runners, about setting a new pace. When my brother says he wants adventure, and we end up at the top of the Arcadia National Forest in Maine, maybe this is why.
Because the thing about a challenge or, more specifically, about meeting one, is that it makes you feel powerful, like you can do things. And when we defeat something we didn't think we could, we learn to be less afraid.
In a 2008 CNN article titled "The Spirit of … Adventure," Brigid Delaney writes about this challenge-seeking spirit that accounts for the increasingly common tendency of 20-somethings to take a year off between college and career, or for middle-aged retirees to travel the world. She says "yearning for adventure can strike at all ages," and she quotes a traveler for saying this:
"I see adventure as going beyond something you feel comfortable with. If you are uncomfortable going to the end of your street and you go beyond this, then you are being adventurous."
In other words, adventure may mean climbing a mountain or, adventure may mean taking someone's hand and choosing to trust. Challenge can be moving to a new place or, it can be as simple as going to the kitchen, pulling out ingredients, stepping outside conventions and attempting something you've never tried before or tasted.
Like, for example, a cheeseless, crustless quiche.
Where will you seek adventure this weekend?

Farm Internship Program |
"Let us never forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man. . . . ". . . When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of civilization." Interns are an integral part of Sunfield Farm. Our three- to nine-month farm internship program provides an invaluable and educational work experience in sustainable agriculture for people age eighteen and older. Within a supportive and unique working environment, Sunfield interns are exposed to a variety of tasks that change throughout the growing season, gain many new skills, and become competent at completing a wide range of farming chores as they prepare to become the future caretakers of sustainable farms. Is a Sunfield Farm Internship Right for You?Farming requires long days of physical labor. You should carefully consider if undertaking this commitment is right for you. Farming can be challenging, but most people adapt quickly, enjoy the experience, and finish an internship feeling closer to nature, empowered by their ability to grow high-quality food and dedicated to restoring health to their communities. The following information will help you determine if an internship on our farm is right for you. Sunfield and the Jefferson County FIELD ProgramEducation is a primary focus at Sunfield, and we are committed to providing a strong educational work experience for all interns. To this end, our internship program is partnered with the Jefferson County Farmer Innovation, Education, and Leadership Development (FIELD) program developed by Jefferson County farmers and Washington State University (WSU) Extension.
Sunfield and other participating farms in the Jefferson County FIELD program serve as host farms for interns. Interns from all participating farms meet weekly on the different farms for formal instruction classes, and monthly for a reflection session on their experiences. One week, interns may meet at Solstice Farm to learn about business planning or sheep care; the following week, they may meet on our farm to learn about composting; and another week, they may meet at Spring Rain Farm to learn about beekeeping. In this way, interns learn from many farmers and community members. Interns also work on an independent farm project, which must be approved by the host farmers and is based on the host farm. Interns spend twenty hours per week working on their host farm, and twenty-one hours per week working on neighboring farms, attending classes, watching demonstrations, journaling, and engaging in other life experiences. Through the FIELD program, interns have the opportunity to earn either Continuing Education Units (CEU) or college credit from Washington State University. For more information about FIELD, including previous intern testimonials and schedules, visit www.county.wsu.edu/jefferson/agriculture/fieldinterns/ Join Sunfield for a Unique Experience on a Host FarmSunfield Farm is closely integrated with Sunfield Waldorf School – which sits on five of Sunfield's eighty-one acres of fields, forest, and wetlands – and with several community education programs that take place on the farm. Interns who work on Sunfield Farm not only engage in a wide variety of farm activities but also share the farm experience with children, teenagers, and adults who are enthusiastic about being outdoors, working and learning on the farm. The Sunfield CommunityEach day throughout the school year, our grade school children spend a forty-five minute farm-chore period alongside Sunfield farmers and interns, tending the animals and the land. Volunteers from our parent body regularly assist on the farm. Through our community education programs, visiting local and regional school groups and adults from various community groups come to the farm to learn about sustainable farming. Our farm also provides a nurturing work environment for teens from Jefferson County Juvenile Services, who need to fulfill required community service hours. These different groups provide Sunfield Interns with many opportunities to interact in the community and gain teaching and leadership skills. Anthroposophy and BiodynamicsWe base our farming philosophy on anthroposophy and biodynamics, both founded by Rudolf Steiner – also the founder of Waldorf education. This adds a different approach to how we tend both the land and the animals. Along with farm activities such as preparing beds, sowing, planting, transplanting, weeding, trellising, harvesting, and caring for the animals – including feeding, herding, milking, and birthing – Sunfield interns learn to make and apply biodynamic preparations and to farm in accordance to the rhythms of the celestial calendar. We encourage our interns to research Steiner's approach to farming and education through our book collection and recommended websites. Feeding the Wider CommunitySunfield interns assist with distributing our organically and biodynamically grown food to the local community. Our twenty-five week Community Supported Agriculture CSA program involves packing weekly CSA shares for more than forty members. Throughout the season, interns help sell produce at the local farmers' market and help pack donations made to the regional food bank. Seasonal FestivalsSunfield interns are encouraged to attend our school's seasonal festivals that take place on the farm. During the span of the intern season, these include the May Day, Summer Solstice, Michaelmas, and Lantern festivals.

Im a senior citizen from this area now living in Florida. I visit this area every summer.
Im writing in response to a TV interview with Mitt Romney I saw this morning. The Republicans think the American public is dumb. Im here to say that isnt so. Of course President Obama hasnt been able to do a lot of the things he promised, not with a Republican Congress that is hellbent on him becoming a one-term president. No one would be able to under those circumstances. Also, Mr. Obama knows that if we dont have young people in the work force, Social Security will go broke. Because he gave an executive order in an election year to allow Hispanic young people to stay and work and pay into Social Security they make a villain out of him.
Mr. Obama saved the auto industry and the banks, ordered the assassination of Osama bin Laden, knows what its like to be poor and loves his family and his country.
I will not vote for someone who his entire life never had to wonder where his next meal was coming from, gone to bed hungry nor had to accept food stamps to survive. He has no clue what poor people go through.
President Obama, you have my vote again this time.

The conditions at Barnett Reservoir are about as tough as they get. Last week's rain brought fluctuating water levels, lots of current and plenty of mud.
Here's an interesting video I ran across today of two bucks locked up. This is a little different from some similar videos I have seen in that t...
It was a typical day in the woods for Scott Poag of Clinton and his son, Colby Poag, 8. Set up in a box stand overlooking a green field, Poag said
When hunters entered the woods this fall, word spread that the acorn crop was thin in most of the state. Hunters were able to key in on the available crop, but as time went on, the acorns began to disappear.
In an open-house meeting this week, where members of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service explained the possibilities of a proposed National Wildlife Refuge in the Jackson area, little opposition was heard.
Wind has limited the fishing on Barnett Reservoir for several days, but anglers got a break Wednesday.
A coastal research agency and the Mississippi wildlife department have programs ongoing to restock Mississippi rivers and streams with fish.
For many Mississippi hunters, the start of deer season is possibly the most anticipated day of the year. But when youth season opens, it is often an event that produces memories that last a lifetime.
Game cameras are everywhere these days. Hunters use them to keep track of deer, watch for wild hogs and keep a general inventory of what lurks in the woods. There are probably about as many cameras in the woods as you see in a bank.
Deer season for youth is in full swing and The Clarion-Ledger Outdoors invites young hunters to show off their harvests in our Deer Hunter of the Week photo contest.

- Nearby Hikes (Click Marker for information) |
John is an avid hiker, spending a goodly portion of his time up in the hills, or sitting in front of a computer.
There are photographers, and then there is me. When I am not at work, and sometimes even while there am thinking about photography and the outdoors.
Trail Notes: Alex and I came from Zion to Arches - probably not a surprising move for most touring Utah. Things were chilly in Zion, but they were down right freezing in Bryce...so we decided to stay at Ruby's inn instead of camping out in the teens. And frankly the shower itself made it worth it.
We decided on our scouting traveling day to do Peekaboo loop as our Bryce hike, and I have to admit it was an epic hike - just fantastic. . So we started off early in the morning while things were still freezing..including my parking brake and drove to the Sunrise Point trailhead and began our trip. The decent is quite mild for the first bit, and even if it wasn't you would be stopping often enough to take pictures. The views are just magnificent.
As you decend further over the next hour or so things become more pinion and it becomes easier to envision old man Bryce's cows getting lost in the canyons. That aside the trails are well maked so there isn't much chance of you getting lost along the way. However, given the elevation - you would do yourself right by taking things easy if you are not accustomed to the elevation.
The big choice with this hike is whether to do it as a figure eight or to hike it as a circle. We decided given the light that Peekaboo Loop would best be had by taking the left junction thus making our trip into a big oval. Shortly after the junction things get much better as you become more isolated in the hoodoos and get more and more pristine views. About 40 minutes from the junction you come to high spot upon which you get a full 360 degree view of all the Bryce Ampitheater. Just spectacular. We took a break here for a while before continuing on.
So the the curious thing beyond this, at leas to my way of thinking about it was that there was actually wather in the creeks - but it was frozen solid and about a foot thick. So continuing on takes you by a horse camp and then then on the return taking the outer loop offers more panoramas of the inside loop. Very nice, and it was here we opted to take lunch on a lonely hoodoo.
On the return we past the junction of the figure eight, and chose a route Wall Street which is a narrow canyon with several pine trees growing up though slot canyons. The light in wall street needs to be witness to be believed. It feels just magical, almost cave like. It is also here as the canyon closes up that the most memorable pictures of trees in growing up thought the tiny canyon is expereienced. Infact the Bryce Canyon Park map with the picture of a tree growing up though a tight canyon is from here.
As you work your way up Wall Street you will find a series of switchbacks up the canyon which were masterfully constructed crossing the whole Canyon and even going through a fin on one occassion. Shortly thereafter you will find youself on the rim at Sunset point....which it was when we got there.
Lastly we hiked across the rim back to Sunrise Point to pickup our car and return to Ruby's for another night before heading off to Arches. A day well spent.

- So let's make --
- Let's assume that there [are] three cars in the market.
- And what I want to do is --
- I sensed that some people thought I was suggesting
- that a car, in general, is an inferior good.
- And that's not what I was saying. I was saying
- if we lived in a reality where everyone owned a car --
- your car was a necessity for life --
- and that is true in much of the developed world --
- I was saying that the cheapest car on the market
- might be considered an inferior good.
- And to think about that,
- let's just think about the entire population.
- So let's say that this line -- this line represents

- where everyone owns a car.
- And let's say -- let's represent this car with blue.
- So, let's say a third of the people right now have that car.
- And now, let's say a good chunk of the people
- have this mid-sized sedan.
- This is probably the car
- that most people would like to have.
- It's a little bit safer. It's a little bit larger.
- It [has] a more powerful engine.
- And so, this is where most people are sitting.
- And then you have this ultra --
- this kind of luxury car -- a Rolls Royce, maybe.
- And so, that [is] a very small segment.
- So, this end of the line is the poor --
- So, this is the poor in our population.
- And this is the rich, right over here.
- So this is at some given income level.
- And maybe we could say
- this is true at a particular price point.
- But we'll see -- what we're going to talk about
- is the general impact on demand --
- on the entire curve at any given price point --
- always assuming that this is the most expensive,
- this is in between, and this is the least expensive.
- Now, what happens if income goes up from here?
- WRITING: Income goes up.
- Well, the very poorest,
- they're not going to be able to necessarily
- just trade up to this mid-size sedan yet.
- Although, maybe they'll have more income for other things --
- or they can get a nicer version of this.
- But for the most part,
- they're still going to be driving this car.
- But at kind of the boundary right over here,
- if incomes do go up,
- there will be people who can now afford the mid-sized car,
- And that's what they want.
- And so, these people might start buying the mid-size car.
- And then what will happen, over here?
- Well, maybe there [are] a few people
- at the boundary over here --
- they now have the money to afford this very expensive car.
- And it suits their taste.
- And so they also -- a very small proportion also grows there.
- So what happened here?
- When income went up, the quantity demanded
- at a particular price point for this smallest car, went down.
- But the demand for this mid-size car went up.
- It took a much bigger chunk out of this blue
- than a chunk was taken out of it by the orange.
- And also, the demand for this very expensive car went up
- And that was at a particular price point.
- But assuming this is the most expensive, this is the middle,
- and this is the [least] expensive,
- this would be true of probably any price point.
- And so we have this phenomenon that when income went up --
- the quantity demanded at multiple price points for this car --
- So let me draw its actual demand curve.
- So [for] this car right over here, this is price;
- this over here is demand.
- If its old demand curve looks something like this,
- we're saying that maybe when we thought about this,
- at first, we're thinking of --
- we were thinking the price point right over here,
- we notice when income went up,
- at that particular price point,
- the quantity demanded went down --
- and that would be true at pretty much any price point --
- assuming that this is always the cheapest car.
- So at any price point,
- you would have a decrease in demand.
- Now, remember.
- When we talk about a decrease in demand,
- we are talking about a shift of the entire curve.
- We're not talking about just one particular quantity.
- Now, there was another interesting question
- that was asked.
- And it's a very nice and subtle thing to think about.
- I keep drawing these shifting demand curves,
- And if, at least, I understand the question properly,
- the question is does the curve, when it shifts,
- does it necessary shift perfectly?
- Or does, sometimes, it change?
- Does it shift more at one price point or another?
- And the simple answer is it can.
- In fact, in very few circumstances
- would it probably be a perfect shift.
- Depending on the price point you're at,
- it would probably shift a little bit different[ly].
- So, the actual shape of the curve might change
- while it's shifting.
- But anyway, going back to this.
- So, we see that this cheap car, right here,
- had the unusual property that when the incomes went up,
- the demand curve shifted to the left.
- And that's why we call this an inferior good.
- These other two cars, when --
- WRITING: So, that's price. And this is demand.
- These other two cars, when income went up --
- So, this is the demand curve at first.
- When income went up, demand went up.
- The whole curve got shifted to the right.
- So, they are normal --
- So, this -- these are normal goods.

Rated among the top fast-food chains by Zagat in 2010, Papa Murphy's houses crust contractors who assemble each pizza before customers' eyes, then hand them over for firing in a home oven. Fashion a custom pie ($9+ for a large) from a palette of 23 fresh toppings, or test the design acumen and hand aerodynamics of Papa Murphy's in-house tastemakers by going with a discus from the signature, stuffed, or delite menus. The Chicago-style stuffed pizza smuggles layers of pepperoni and italian sausage under the cover of roma tomatoes, onions, and a mozzarella trench coat ($14 for a large; $16 for a family-sized), and the hawaiian in the signature category comes topped with an archipelago of canadian bacon, Dole pineapple, and mozzarella cheese on a beach of tomato sauce ($11 for a large; $13 for a family-sized).
Adelaida Cuellar first sold her authentic Mexican fare to the hungry public at the 1926 Kaufman County Fair, where she manned a chili and tamale stand. In the face of increasing demand, her five sons helped her open the first El Chico restaurant in Dallas in 1940, and the franchise blossomed—much like a seed blossoms into a human. Today, at the almost 100 restaurants scattered throughout the South, chefs prepare hearty portions of traditional fare, including tacos, burritos, and fajitas, as well as tableside guacamole and, of course, tamales. Margaritas, cocktails, wines, and beers help wash down these south-of-the-border feasts.
With 45 locations, the aromas of hot soup and freshly baked bread greet customers across the nation as they approach Souper Salad's overflowing display of crisp salad greens and freshly prepared hot selections. Menus for the buffet change daily, but can include albóndigas soup, Tuna Skroodle pasta salad, A-MAIZE-ing cornbread, and other dishes. Dine-in guests are free to fill their bowls with their favorite soups and chilis, build their own salads from a plethora of crispy greens and tangy dressings, and see how much soft-serve ice cream they can pile atop a single cone. Patrons can also make a visit to the taco bar or flatbread pizza zone, and gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options are available.

The 13th Annual New York Chocolate Show
The 13th annual New York Chocolate Show, presented by Event International and running from Thursday, November 11 - Sunday, November 14, at The Metropolitan Pavilion (125 W. 18th St.), is the largest show in the United States completely dedicated to chocolate. Considered the chocolate hub of North America, the show brings together more than 65 fine chocolate companies that will present an array of fine chocolates and chocolate-inspired products that will reach 12,000 consumers, members of the trade, and press.
This year's Chocolate Show will feature book signings by award-winning authors; cooking demonstrations in two culinary theaters featuring renowned chocolatiers and pastry chefs who will share secrets of the trade; a Kid's Zone, presented by Young Chefs Academy; and -- something I'm sorry I missed on the 10th -- a Chocolate Fashion Show.
Founded in 1997 by Sylvie Douce and Franois Jeantet, French entrepreneurs with a passion for chocolate, The Chocolate Show was quickly adopted by New York City as one of its favorite shows, and has become the largest and one of the most popular events devoted to chocolate in the United States. The New York Chocolate Show is one of many international Salon du Chocolat events produced annually by Douce and Jeantet. In 2010, shows were or will be presented in Paris, Tokyo and six cities in Japan, Shanghai, Madrid, Cairo, and Moscow.
The New York show is open this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 10 a.m. - 7 p.m. and this Sunday till 6 p.m. Get tickets here.

STATELINE, Nev. (AP) - Sheriff's deputies in northern Nevada are offering a $1,000 reward in the search for a 19-year-old California woman who last was seen on New Year's Eve at a Lake Tahoe casino.
Douglas County sheriff's deputies said Thursday they have no leads in the search for Alyssa Byrne of Petaluma.
Her father, Kevin Byrne, says she was staying with friends at the Horizon Casino Resort in Stateline, Nev. She last was seen on the casino floor shortly after midnight.
Byrne says his daughter and three friends checked into the Horizon and texted her mother on Saturday and texted both parents on Sunday.
She's 5-foot-3, 125 pounds with black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a black sweatshirt, black snow boots and black yoga-type pants with her hair pulled back.

Heron's formula
Heron's formula Using Heron's Formula to determine the area of a triangle while only knowing the lengths of the sides
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- I think it's pretty common knowledge how to find the area
- of the triangle if we know the length of its base
- and its height.
- So, for example, if that's my triangle, and this length right
- here-- this base-- is of length b and the height right here is
- of length h, it's pretty common knowledge that the area of this
- triangle is going to be equal to 1/2 times the base
- times the height.
- So, for example, if the base was equal to 5 and the height
- was equal to 6, then our area would be 1/2 times 5 times 6,
- which is 1/2 times 30-- which is equal to 15.
- Now what is less well-known is how to figure out the area of a
- triangle when you're only given the sides of the triangle.
- When you aren't given the height.
- So, for example, how do you figure out a triangle
- where I just give you the lengths of the sides.
- Let's say that's side a, side b, and side c. a, b, and c are
- the lengths of these sides.
- How do you figure that out?
- And to do that we're going to apply something
- called Heron's Formula.
- And I'm not going to prove it in this video.
- I'm going to prove it in a future video.
- And really to prove it you already probably have
- the tools necessary.
- It's really just the Pythagorean theorem and
- a lot of hairy algebra.
- But I'm just going to show you the formula now and how to
- apply it, and then you'll hopefully appreciate that it's
- pretty simple and pretty easy to remember.
- And it can be a nice trick to impress people with.
- So Heron's Formula says first figure out this third variable
- S, which is essentially the perimeter of this
- triangle divided by 2.
- a plus b plus c, divided by 2.
- Then once you figure out S, the area of your triangle-- of this
- triangle right there-- is going to be equal to the square root
- of S-- this variable S right here that you just calculated--
- times S minus a, times S minus b, times S minus c.
- That's Heron's Formula right there.
- This combination.
- Let me square it off for you.
- So that right there is Heron's Formula.
- And if that looks a little bit daunting-- it is a little bit
- more daunting, clearly, than just 1/2 times base
- times height.
- Let's do it with an actual example or two, and actually
- see this is actually not so bad.
- So let's say I have a triangle.
- I'll leave the formula up there.
- So let's say I have a triangle that has sides
- of length 9, 11, and 16.
- So let's apply Heron's Formula.
- S in this situation is going to be the perimeter divided by 2.
- So 9 plus 11 plus 16, divided by 2.
- Which is equal to 9 plus 11-- is 20-- plus 16 is
- 36, divided by 2 is 18.
- And then the area by Heron's Formula is going to be equal to
- the square root of S-- 18-- times S minus a-- S minus 9.
- 18 minus 9, times 18 minus 11, times 18 minus 16.
- And then this is equal to the square root of 18
- times 9 times 7 times 2.
- Which is equal to-- let's see, 2 times 18 is 36.
- So I'll just rearrange it a bit.
- This is equal to the square root of 36 times 9 times 7,
- which is equal to the square root of 36 times the square
- root of 9 times the square root of 7.
- The square root of 36 is just 6.
- This is just 3.
- And we don't deal with the negative square roots,
- because you can't have negative side lengths.
- And so this is going to be equal to 18 times
- the square root of 7.
- So just like that, you saw it, it only took a couple of
- minutes to apply Heron's Formula, or even less than
- that, to figure out that the area of this triangle
- right here is equal to 18 square root of seven.
- Anyway, hopefully you found that pretty neat.

Amphibians and Reptiles of Mainland Southeast Asia
Discovering reptile and amphibian diversity to enhance conservation throughout Southeast Asia.
From its tropical forests to its mountains and coral reefs, Vietnam is home to an amazing diversity of plants and animals — including many species found nowhere else in the world. It's also the most culturally diverse country in Southeast Asia, with more than 50 different ethnic groups, each with its own language. Internationally Isolated for much of the 20th century, Vietnam is now a fascinating destination for biologists, anthropologists and tourists alike — and changing fast.
Support for the development of Science Topics was generously provided by Sidney and Helaine Lerner, GRACE Communications Foundation.
