If you get a question like this one from Cambridge IELTS book 8, you don't need to worry about comparing the two charts. Just describe them separately:
- Introduction: say what each chart shows
- Overview: write one general sentence about the pie chart, and one about the table
- Details: describe the pie chart
- Details: describe the table
Here's an example 'overview'. Notice that I write a separate sentence about each chart, and I paraphrase several of the words from the question.
Overview (paragraph 2):
It is clear from the pie chart that there are three principal reasons why farmland becomes degraded, and over-grazing is the main one. The table shows that Europe had a far higher proportion of unproductive land than Oceania or North America in the 1990s.
Task: Find the examples of paraphrasing in the paragraph above.

The Mojave desert becomes a battleground when vicious bikers go on a killing spree, causing innocent would-be victims to get bloody revenge. Classic exploitation film violence and action ensues. This low-budget film marks the comeback of formerly popular child actor Russ Tamblyn who goes against type and plays the leader of the motorcycle pack. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

As a major model--she's the face of Burberry Beauty and the brand's just-announced new fragrance, Burberry Body, a Victoria's Secret Angel, and on the cover of British ELLE this month--Rosie Huntington-Whiteley certainly knows how to look good in front of the camera. But creating stunning editorial and advertisement images is a decidedly different art than making major red-carpet moments, so we weren't quite sure what to expect when Huntington-Whiteley started her press tour for Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon. While we can't say we've seen the movie yet, we are certain about one thing: Huntington-Whiteley has been killing it lately with truly standout looks at every premiere and after-party. She's even extra-chic in her off-duty hours, as today's Style Spotlight showcases!
The British beauty tends to go for ultra-glamorous ensembles on the red carpet--and more on that in a minute--hints of which you can see in her day-to-day personal style too. For example, she was snapped earlier this summer in New York wearing an outfit that was both relaxed and camera-ready thanks to a deft combination of perfectly worn-in jeans (Hippie Fade Skinny Jeans ($194) from Jet by John Eshaya) and an ornate, embellished Isabel Marant jacket from the S/S 11 collection. Paired with a latte-colored Alexander Wang Rocco Bag (her exact pick is sold out, but it's still available in bone), a wide-brimmed Rag & Bone Kingsley Wool Fedora ($160), and slouchy Isabel Marant Rosie boots, the result is the perfect mix of high-end bohemian and French editor flair.
While her daytime ensembles are certainly covetable, we also have the utmost appreciation for the impactful dresses Huntington-Whiteley selects for her work events. She seems to split her red-carpet picks between one of two camps: old Hollywood glamour and fashion-forward looks. For example, at the German premiere of Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon, the model/actress wore an open-back, metallic sequined Naeem Khan Cap-Sleeve Trumpet Gown ($7800, available at Bergdorf Goodman in late August) and styled her hair swept to one side (top row, left). The resulting look is truly timeless and the epitome of silver-screen style. We also adored the tiger print Dolce & Gabbana dress Huntington-Whiteley picked for the MTV Movie Awards last month (bottom row, left)--it's so Sophia Loren! (The dress is from the F/W 11 collection and will be arriving in stores in late August or early September; be sure to check Dolce & Gabbana's new e-shop for purchasing information.) Instead of going for a traditional stiletto, Huntington-Whiteley selected a wedge--Sergio Rossi's Tricolor Patent Totem Wedge Sandals ($695) to be exact--which helps to modernize the bombshell frock.
In addition to these screen-siren ensembles, Huntington-Whiteley also embraces her editorial background too, and wears edgier looks with equal aplomb. We were gobsmacked by the sheer-skirted Gucci dress she picked for an appearance at the Moscow International Film Festival late last month (bottom row, right). The black and acid yellow gown--runway look #47, which retails for $7500 and is available later this summer--is directional, dramatic, and perfect for the occasion. Huntington-Whiteley opted for another noteworthy look at the Transformers after-party in London, this time a studded white Burberry Prorsum frock from the Resort 12 collection with a head-turning, cut-out front (top right). The dress has a thigh-high slit and studded, fringed shoulders, the combination of which has a military-meets-Studio-54 allure.
If you are ready to transform your wardrobe and style some Huntington-Whiteley-inspired looks, we're here to help! To achieve an outfit similar to the featured off-duty look, we suggest starting with RHW's exact Jet jeans and then adding a neutral-hued hat, like Sportmax's Felted Wool Fedora Hat ($130) or American Apparel's Wool Floppy Hat ($40) for a more '70s-style look. Grab a printed jacket--like People Tree By Laura Ashley's Floral Print Blazer ($81) or Coldwater Creek's Paisley Embellished Jacket ($50)--some slouchy boots, such as Aldo's Cirocco Boots ($120), and a pale blush bag, Zara's Double Handle City Bag ($50) is a good pick, and you'll be set!
We're also happy to report that emulating Huntington-Whiteley's old-Hollywood party looks is equally easy as creating her more casual ensembles. Instead of a floor-length sparkly silver gown, we like Alice + Olivia's Silver Sequin Marina Dolman Sleeve Dress ($235) or the long-but-less-fancy A.L.C. Theo Ruched Stretch-Jersey Maxi Dress ($360). For a perfect animal-print ensemble, try Camilla and Marc's Blind Call Leopard Dress ($460), which has a very similar shape to her exact Dolce & Gabbana pick! As for our spotlighted stunner's embellished white dress, you can wait for Burberry Prorsum's Resort 12 collection to hit stores, or you can pick up a Halston Heritage Stretch Knit Cocktail Dress ($325) right now. Last but not least, it's time to address Huntington-Whiteley's knockout sheer-skirted Gucci ensemble. If you're attracted to the color and one-shouldered silhouette of this look, but want a more wearable iteration, don't miss ASOS' One Shoulder Dress with Corsage ($103). Though not acid yellow, we also like the idea of pairing a dramatically ruffled top, such as Tory Burch's One-Shoulder Silk-Blend Lame Top ($400), with a long diaphanous skirt, like Rag & Bone's Silk Maxi Skirt ($395) or Evil Twin's Ulterior Motive Mesh Maxi Skirt ($92). The resulting outfit will certainly make a big impact and is perfect for a festive summer evening!

No one has favorited this theater yet
Located in the Oakland neighborhood, on Cottage Grove Avenue near Pershing Road, this theater originally opened in 1908 as the Swanson, a 600-seat vaudeville house. About five years later, it was renamed the Oakland. It would later switch to movies. The Oakland survived into the 30s, and has since been razed.

In the 1960s and 1970s — at the very least — there was no bigger star in Turkish cinema than Cuneyt Arkin. Whether he was a medieval dude with a steel claw defending Turkey from dastardly Crusaders, or a tough-as-nails cop in a plaid blazer defending Turkey from drugs and ninjas, no one could throw down with as much cool as Cuneyt. He was Bruce Lee (well, Jimmy Wang Yu maybe) and Maurizio Merli all rolled up into one glaring package. Similarly, in the 1970s, there was no bigger star in Hong Kong cinema than Bolo Yeung — and by "bigger" in his case we mean the size of his muscles. This bodybuilder turned kungfu movie whipping boy first rose to prominence when he showed up in Enter the Dragon to stand around with his arms folded, looking impressive until he gets his ass kicked by John Saxon — who kicks Bolo's ass even though he could barely kick. After that role, which actually gave him his stage name, Bolo was in high demand. Pretty much every kungfu star in the world wanted to be filmed beating up the Chinese muscle man, and Bolo was always happy to oblige. The man has been beat up on screen by pretty much every martial arts star you could think of. It was inevitable, perhaps, that Cuneyt would one day cross paths with Bolo — even if it was only in the editing room of notorious hack movie makers Godfrey Ho and Thomas Tang.

Shaolin Invincibles
There was nothing about the old VHS box for Shaolin Invincibles that made us think we were renting anything other than a standard "kungfu orphans get revenge on villains who murdered their parents" story. We plucked it from the shelves because, well, why not? We were up for renting anything that wasn't Unique Lama. By the time Ocean Shores video splashed that bright red "The End" graphic onto the television screen, we'd seen tongue-waggling ghosts, bug-eyed zombies, and that most treasured of kungfu film appearances — the kungfu gorilla. I won't say that the impact of Shaolin Invincibles on our mental faculties was as pronounced as it was after watching Young Taoism Fighter for the first time, but that's a pretty high bar to set.

Following our previous articles, Ubuntu Calendar Lens, Ubuntu Web Sources Lens, Ubuntu Gwibber Lens, Ubuntu Books Lens, Ubuntu Cities Scope, Ubuntu Grooveshark Scope, Ubuntu Calculator Scope and Pirate Bay Torrents Lens for Unity, today we are introducing the Ubuntu YouTube Lens and Scope for the Unity interface.
Ubuntu YouTube Lens and Scope are two unique Unity Dash plugins that allows users to quickly search, filter and access videos from the popular YouTube website.
The search results can be narrowed down using the popular YouTube category types, such as Autos & Vehicles, Comedy, Education, Entertainment, Film & Animation, Gaming, Howto & Style, Music, News & Politics, Nonprofits & Activism, People & Blogs, Pets & Animals, Science & Technology, Sports, and Travel & Events, implemented in the Categories filtering section.
The Order filter section allows you to order video results by Relevance, Published, Viewcount, and Rating. The Time filter section allows you to order video results by Today, This week, This month, and All time. And finally, the Ratings filter section allows you to sort videos by their ratings.
The best feature of all is that the YouTube videos can be watched in the popular VLC (VideoLan Client) media player application, instead of a web browser.
To install the Unity YouTube Lens and Scope plugins in your Ubuntu 11.10 operating system, open a terminal window (hit the CTRL+ALT+T key combination) and paste the following commands (one by one, hitting Enter after each one):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:atareao/lenses
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install lens-video scope-youtube
You'll have to restart your session after the installation. After that, you can open Unity Dash and click on the new "Video Lens" icon (yes, the playback icon) situated at the bottom of the dialog. To watch the videos, just click on them and they will open in the VideoLan Media Player, which should be pre-installed in your machines.
Be aware that it is available ONLY for the Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) operating system.

Who Should Replace Laurence Fishburne on 'CSI'?
Somewhere in the middle there is Laurence Fishburne's announcement that he's leaving his post at 'CSI' after only two and a half years. Fishburne, who played lead investigator Raymond Langston, replaced series star William Petersen, who started as Gil Grissom when the series premiered 11 seasons ago.
Those were some pretty big shoes to fill at the time -- and Fishburne didn't always seem too thrilled at the comparisons -- but now who will be the third person to take the job? And how will the show look with lead actress Marg Helgenberger taking a lesser role next season, too?
We've brainstormed some good men -- and one lady -- for the position. Keep reading and share your own casting thoughts in the comments.
Bob Newhart Joins Lifetime's 'Project Five,' 'Heroes' Star Heads to 'Law & Order: CI' and More Casting News
According to TV Guide, Newhart will join the star-studded cast as Dr. Roth, a friend of Jeanne Tripplehorn's character, Pearl.
Besides 'Big Love' star Tripplehorn, the cast includes veteran stars Patricia Clarkson, Tony Shalhoub, Rosario Dawson, Kathy Najimy, Jeffrey Tambor. The project of five short films tells the story of how breast cancer impacts people's lives.
Jennifer Aniston, Demi Moore, Alicia Keys and Patty Jenkins direct separate parts of the film series.
In other casting news ...
• Adrian Pasdar will guest star on 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent.' The former 'Heroes' star will be joined by 'Mad Men' actor Bryan Batt in the episode titled 'Trophy Wife.' Pasdar will play a wine collector and Batt a wine sommelier. [TV Guide]
• Bill O'Reilly is branching out into scripted television. The Fox News anchor will play himself as a potential murder suspect on an episode of 'Rizzoli & Isles.' [TV Guide]
• Adam Arkin is heading to 'The Closer.' The 'Sons of Anarchy' actor will play Steven Hirschbaum, described as "a Bernie Madoff-like businessman." Arkin previously directed an episode of the TNT drama. [TV Guide]
'Justified' - 'Bulletville' Recap (Season Finale)
"You gonna pull the trigger or are you gonna talk me to death?" - Bo Crowder
Boyd Crowder's faith has been the most interesting and mind-twisting mystery of the season.
It's also made him the most interesting character, not just in this show but all of current television. He's a lost soul trying to find redemption for a lifetime of evil deeds and hateful actions, but he's also a conniving criminal with a penchant for causing more destruction and mayhem than a runaway car on an offshore oil rig.
Has he been just wearing the face of a devout man for some grand criminal plan, or is he truly a changed man? And if it's the answer behind "Door No. 2," does being a changed man necessarily make him a better one? The season finale gave us the answers to all of those questions and so much more.
'Sons of Anarchy' Season 2 Episode 12 "The Culling" Recap
With some heavy stuff coming down, SAMCRO and Unser hole up inside the clubhouse as Jax and Clay prepare to battle The League. After Gemma tells Tara that she's Jax's "old lady, which means something in this town," Tara roughs up the tight-ass suit at the hospital.
Weston's kids get hauled off by child protection services, courtesy of Jax, who challenges Weston to a showdown. Their ten best guys, no weapons. A fistfight ensues; Hale shows up and arrests Weston for the porn warehouse arson.
Review: Sons of Anarchy - Service
(S02E11) "If Gemma had gotten raped on John's watch, he'd have written a whole different book." - Jax
Forgiveness can be a funny thing. Assuming you're on the receiving end of something awful, It's not always easy to determine if you'd even be willing to forgive. That's the beauty of forgiveness though -- the act that led you to it might have been sincere, but that doesn't mean your capacity to forgive has to be. Unlike quietly accepting a situation, forgiving a situation has the power to pacify the parties at fault.
As we learned with Opie last night on Sons of Anarchy, his capacity to forgive is huge, but that doesn't mean he ain't lying through his teeth when it comes to his true intentions.
Review: Sons of Anarchy - Potlatch
"Pull the trigger man. That's the only way this leather is coming off my back." - Jax to Alvarez, the head of the Mayans who orders him to give up his club jacket
Jax is supposed to be the hero of this little modern day Shakesperian epic, but he's starting to look more and more like the enemy in each episode.
I don't mean that he'll be the one in the end who has been scheming the whole time behind SAMCRO's back with the white power. This is a well-crafted, slow paced, high caliber drama, not a badly written Schwarzenegger movie with a thrown together twist ending (cough, Total Recall, cough).
Jax is more of an enemy of himself. He might have good intentions at heart, but his moves are nowhere near his brain. Maybe his loyalty to his family runs deeper than he ever imagined. Logic and family hardly make a decent cocktail. Anyone with a brother-in-law can tell you that.
Gone Too Soon: 8 Simple Rules
This week, we're going to take a bit of a departure from the shows we normally cover. It's very rare that a show that puts out 76 episodes could be considered by anyone to be gone too soon, and yet I make the argument that 8 Simple Rules (for Dating My Teenage Daughter) is that show.
I'm also not going to try and convince you that 8 Simple Rules was one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, because it simply wasn't. It was a fairly standard, solid series headlined by a brilliant comic actor... and then it became something else.
Sons of Anarchy: Falx Cerebri
(S02E06) "It's not your time yet, man. This is Clay's club. You either back down or get in line, before somebody gets hurt." - Opie to Jax
It was really hard to find a good quote for this week's episode. I watched the bastard four times before I found the one I did and I'm not entirely thrilled with it.
That's because this week's show was all action and little talk.
The tension between SAMCRO and the Aryans got turned up to 11 when they planted a car bomb in the shop that almost turned Chibs into a fried fish filet that would need a gallon of malt vinegar to be edible. This not only made for a perfect set-up against the club but also within it, driving an even deeper wedge between Clay, Jax and each of their alliances.
Sons of Anarchy: Albification (season premiere)
How do you turn a group of gruff biker outlaws who deal potent drugs to street trash and hardcore hardware to ruthless killers into a likable group of huggable stud muffins?
That's easy. You make a group of radical white supremacists into their enemies. It's the old "lovable by association" tactic of TV writing. Is the audience not buying your childhood version of Darth Vader? Then throw in a wise-cracking alien that sounds like Pee Wee Herman with Down's Syndrome.
However, in the case of the second season of Sons of Anarchy, it's a pretty sweet power play for a show that already packed more punch than an Absinthe smoothie.
Sons of Anarchy, season two -- An early look
The level that FX's Sons of Anarchy's second season has to reach to top their outrageous first might seem unfathomable. But the man helming this ship is writer, creator and executive producer Kurt Sutter - the man who helped steer The Shield through seven strange and unpredictable seasons of treacherous waters that were once deemed unchartable for the likes of basic cable.
It's tight control on what appears to be complete chaos. Sutter and company are a fleet of reckless Sledge Hammers who are willing to blow up whole buildings to get the job done. Trust him. He knows what he's doing.
FX's white hot biker drama kicks off Tuesday and it brings all of the blood, guts, bullets and glory that the first season did in buckets. And that's just in the first five episodes.
Jane After Dark: Sons of Anarchy - bikes, guns, sex and Katey Sagal
I've been hearing about an awesome new show on FX since it aired last year, and finally got around to watching season one of Sons of Anarchy this week for Jane After Dark. Being a motorcycle babe myself, I love any show where bikes or gangs are the central focus.
But even if you've never mounted a bad chopper, there are plenty of reasons to love this badass show about the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club Redwood Originals (SAMCRO). They run a legal automotive business while dealing arms, battling rival gangs, and working with the cops (sometimes) to keep their town of Charming, California a pleasant place to live. You can see all the irony at work here.
FX sets premieres for Sons of Anarchy, Always Sunny, and Nip/Tuck
FX announced their fall premiere dates today and it turns out that they've got quite the schedule lined up for the autumn months.
With Rescue Me set to end it's 22 episode fifth season on Tuesday, September 1st, it comes as no surprise that Sons of Anarchy has been scheduled to fill the Tuesday 10PM ET time-slot starting the very next week on September 8th. The motorcycle drama's sophomore season is generating a lot of buzz ever since the announcement of Henry Rollins and Adam Arkin joining the cast.
But wait - there's more!
New shots from Sons of Anarchy's second season
With Rescue Me plowing through it's massive 22 episode fifth season, it's a little weird to think that we'll be tuning into Denis Leary's FDNY hijnks until September 8th - especially since we're used to having the show be over after about three months.
I'm not really sure what my point is mentioning that, because all I'm doing is piling good news on top of more good news - once Rescue Me ends, Sons of Anarchy is back.
The FX motorcycle drama began filming it's second season recently, with two notable cast additions - Henry Rollins and Adam Arkin. At the time of Rollins casting, nothing was known about his character other than his role as a "new antagonist." Now, according to Fancast, it turns out that both Rollins and Arkin will be playing neo-nazis. If you recall Jax (Charlie Hunnam) and Clay's tumultuous relationship with Darby (Mitch Pileggi) and the Nords, then you know they ain't gonna get along with these two.
If you feel like being spoiled beyond that, pictures and more character info after the jump...
NBC gives Life a full season
"Some TV show...supposed to be good for ya."
"Did you try it?"
"I'm not gonna try it, you try it."
"I'm not gonna try it."
"Hey, let's get Mikey..."
"He won't watch it...he hates everything!"
We give a lot of depressing news here at TV Squad. News about shows being canceled, shows put on hiatus, shows delayed, episode orders on shows cut, shows moved to a bad time slot, characters killed off of shows, etc. So it's good when we actually have some good news about a show, especially one that isn't a huge hit.
NBC has given a full season order to Life, the quirky detective show that seems to be on a different night each week. It started the season on Mondays at 10, and we've seen it on both Fridays and Wednesdays. But the Peacock Network seems to have faith in the show and wants a full 22 from Charlie Crews and crew.
This is good news. One, the show isn't a reality show. And two, it's a good show.
Life: Powerless
(S01E06) Well, this was an interesting episode of Life. Rather than having the focus on Charlie and many of his day-to-day activities, we were treated to the life of Detective Dani Reese. I was a bit concerned about this when I saw the previews because this show is really still in its infancy and a shift in focus for just one episode can throw viewers off. However, as the episode progressed I felt more and more comfortable about the whole setup.

Next time all you have to do is check the bottom of the can or if you're buying a 4 pack the canned date is usually printed on the box. Good luck on your hate toward Golden Road.
8/7 Tame Impala @ Hollywood Forever
8/20 Metz @ Echo
8/21 Modest Mouse @ Hollywood Forever
8/22-8/23 FYF Fest @ Exposition Park
8/26 Savages @ Roxy
This makes my heart happy. I'll bring my own canned, but good to know they will have craft tapped!
A friend of mine runs the beer program at a local restaurant, and apparently he has had (on rare and memorable occasions, but still) distributors provide really, really old beer expecting him not to notice.
Good question^^^
Pours are 8, 12, or 16 oz. Depends on the abv and rarity. All ten bucks which isn't a bad price for great beer at this kind of event.
That is such good news. So stoked for this next weekend.
The Beer Barn was the best addition to Coachella in the past 10 years. Great brews and only a buck more than the shitty Heine (I assume it was $9 this year-didn't even make it to the beer gardens). Hopefully this will stay.

Steve Waugh says Clarke 'ignited' Oz, leadership by 'unleashing inner mongrel'
Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has said that current skipper Michael Clarke has ignited the team and his leadership by unleashing his 'inner mongrel'.
Waugh got inside Clarke's head before the Ashes opener against England in Brisbane last November resulting in an aggressive 'edge' as Australian captain.
According to News.com.au, Clarke has always been tactically astute but had not won over the public and even some teammates including Shane Watson as a leader, although all of that changed after a 'heart to heart' discussion with Waugh before the Brisbane Test.
Clarke stamped his authority on the team in confrontations with England's pace attack headlined by James Anderson and Waugh said that he is glad that his talk led Clarke to get a bit of an edge to his captaincy.
Stating that Clarke should captain the team as he sees it, Waugh also said that the team should be a reflection of the way the captain wants to play, adding that only iron-willed leaders survive in the long term.
Waugh struggled initially to mould his Test unit after Mark Taylor's retirement in 1999, leading to Australia settling for a 2-2 draw against the West Indies in the Caribbean, the report further said.
Waugh, who collected 41 wins in 57 Tests as captain, further urged Clarke to be his own man, instead of always trying to please everyone, in order to gain more respect as captain.

Sun Acquires Virtualbox Vendor Innotek
Sun Microsystems has been on another spending spree: Sun's latest acquisition is said to be Innotek, the manufacturer of the Virtualbox Open Source virtualization solution.
According to a recent press announcement, Sun Microsystems has submitted a takeover bid to Innotek shareholders; the price was not disclosed. The young, German enterprise impressed its purchaser with figures of more than four million downloads since it released its code in January 2007. Virtualbox is to become part of Sun's virtualization strategy, which the enterprise announced in November 2007 under the Sun xVM caption. "VirtualBox provides Sun with the perfect complement to our recently announced Sun xVM Server product" said Rich Green, Vice President Sun Software, and added: "and will align perfectly with Sun's other developer focused assets such as GlassFish, OpenSolaris, OpenJDK and soon MySQL." He sees Sun's xVM server at the core of the data center and Virtualbox as the perfect match for any laptop or desktop. Sun xVM is based on the free Xen virtualization technology which Sun customizes and optimizes for its own applications.
Details of the acquisition and the price have not been disclosed, however, the press release does reveal that the transaction will not impact Sun's profit per share. The deal is scheduled for completion in the third quarter of the 2008 fiscal year, which would be late March.
After MySQL, Innotek is the second Open Source company on Sun's shopping list in recent weeks. January 16 Sun announced the acquisition of the company behind the MySQL Open Source database at a price of one billion dollars.
Virtualbox weighs in at less than 20MB and can be downloaded from the project website. The guest operating system supported by Virtualbox include Windows 3.1 through Vista, Linux Kernel 2.2, 2.4 and 2.6, Solaris x86, OS/2, Netware and DOS.

SCITUATE, Mass. — The town of Scituate plans to lease three new buses this year for Scituate Public Schools instead of buying one new bus, according to a story on boston.com.
The plan is an effort to accommodate competing costs in the district's budget and supplement an aging fleet. Paul Donlan, director of business and finance for Scituate Public Schools, told the news outlet that the buses will replace three 11- to 13-year-old buses in the fleet. The town will lease the buses for approximately $11,200 each per year for a three-year lease. It is responsible for replacing the tires and filters. The leasing company will handle all other general maintenance.The benefit is that, even though leasing the buses will cost approximately the same over the long term as owning and maintaining buses, the leased buses will be traded out every three years, so the fleet won't age, according to the story.To read the full story, click here.

Islamabad braces up for proposed PTA and PTI-led 'Azadi' March
Pakistan capital Islamabad has reportedly braced itself for the proposed joint "Azadi March" by activists and supporters of the Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party and Dr. Tahir-ul Qadri-led Pakistan Awami Tehrik.
The march is reportedly being undertaken to protest against the alleged rigging of the 2013 general elections, which Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) had won.
The Dawn is reporting that the situation in the Pakistan capital and surrounding areas is uncertain, and that there is a fear of violence breaking out in parts of the capital.
It said that key areas of the capital have been blocked off by containers and that cellular services have been suspended there.
The paper quoted Federal Interior Minister Chaudry Nisar Ali Khan , as directing the Pakistan Telecom Authority (PTA) to restore cell phone services in several areas of Islamabad's Red Zone locality.
Subsequently, PTA spokesperson Khurram Mehran ordered the cell phone service to be restored in the vicinity.
Earlier on Aug 12, the Interior Ministry had ordered mobile phone and wireless internet services to be shut down in several parts of Islamabad for an indefinite period, to avoid any untoward incident and security threats during the nation's 68th Independence Day celebrations.
Meanwhile, the Interior Ministry has said that it has not granted the PTI permission to hold a sit-in in Islamabad.
Mujeeb Qadir Khokhar, a spokesman for the ministry, was quoted, as saying: "The ministry has granted no such permission to the PTI."

Book review: 'Rosie' is remarkable
It's natural to be wary of a novel that's been the target of such gushy praise. Publishers in at least 38 countries have snapped up the rights to "The Rosie Project," which has been touted as a "publishing phenomenon," an "international sensation" and no less than "the feel-good hit of 2013."
Well, squelch your inner cynic: The hype is justified. Australian Graeme Simsion has written a genuinely funny novel. It's told in the voice of a 39-year-old genetics professor named Don Tillman, who has Asperger's syndrome, a form of autism that affects his social skills. (Once, while delivering a lecture, he calls on "the fat woman —overweightwoman — at the back," then expresses relief to have so quickly corrected this "minor social error.") As a result, he has only two friends: Gene, a philandering fellow professor, and Claudia, Gene's psychologist wife.
Encouraged by his friends and knowing that "married men are happier and live longer," Tillman begins the Wife Project — an earnest attempt to find the proper mate. He's "tall, fit, and intelligent," he tells himself. "In the animal kingdom, I would succeed in reproducing." In the real world? Not so much. He starts his search disastrously, with a questionnaire for potential dates that includes freakishly selective questions such as "Do you eat kidneys?" (The correct answer is "Occasionally.") A singles party and a speed-dating event prove equally fruitless.
By chance and apart from the Wife Project, he meets Rosie, a woman who smokes, can't cook, doesn't exercise, is chronically late and declares herself a vegetarian — all of which disqualifies her, according to the Wife Project questionnaire. Yet Tillman is intrigued when he learns that Rosie is seeking the identity of her biological father, and he's thrown by the fact that he has such fun in real life with someone who appears so inappropriate on paper.
Simsion, a former IT consultant, wrote "The Rosie Project" as a screenplay. He later turned it into a novel, and last year he won the Victorian Premier's Literary Award for an unpublished manuscript. The buzz spread fast: Sony Pictures has optioned the screen rights.
Reading this novel, you can't help casting the film in your head: Who'll play the lovably awkward (and, the book makes clear, fit and handsome) lead character? Paul Rudd, maybe. Rosie? Jennifer Lawrence, in "Silver Linings Playbook" mode. Definitely.
There's no denying that this is classic rom-com. "I had been living in the world of romantic comedy," Tillman notes toward the happy ending, "and this was the final scene."
The rosiest news of all is that it's not the final scene: Simsion is writing a sequel.

The good citizens of Iceland have two mega-problems this spring. One is their economic and banking situation, which is still in something close to meltdown mode. I cannot fathom finances and economics, so I'm in no position to really follow that part of the current and dreary Icelandic saga.
But the other is geological, and that's a piece of the story a rock-head like me can better understand.
Since the days the Norse settled Iceland more than a thousand years ago, they have had to live with the fact that the Atlantic Ocean basin is slowly but steadily growing. And that matters because the growth is taking place due to volcanoes — including the ones creating their island nation. In short, Iceland is a high point of what geologists call the Mid-Atlantic ridge that is leading to the basin's growth over time, both east and west via spreading at the ridge. Most of the ridge is underwater, but in Iceland it rises above the sea so people can live on it (if they are hardy enough, at least).

Nutcracker Man Had Fundamentally Different Diet
Washington DC (SPX) May 04, 2011
An ancient, bipedal hominid needs a new nickname. Paranthropus boisei, a 2.3 million to 1.2 million-year-old primate, whom researchers say is an early human cousin, probably didn't crack nuts at all as his common handle suggests.
"Nutcracker Man" most likely ate grass and possibly sedges, said geochemist Thure Cerling, lead author of a study published in the May online edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Cerling, a professor of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah, and colleagues determined P. boisei's diet by analyzing carbon isotope ratios in the tooth enamel of 24 teeth from 22 P. boisei's individuals. The hominid's diet has been a source of scientific debate because his powerful jaws, huge molars and big, flat cheek teeth indicated he probably fed on nuts and seeds or roots and tubers found in the savannas throughout Eastern Africa.
But, a few years ago, National Science Foundation sponsored research, led by anthropologists at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, highlighted inconsistencies with the common view by analyzing scratches and wear marks on P. boisei's teeth.
That team concluded the wear marks were more consistent with modern-day, fruit-eating animals than with most modern-day primates. Now, Cerling as his team confirm P. boisei wasn't a big fan of nuts.
"Wherever we find this creature, it is predominantly eating tropical grasses or perhaps sedges," he said.
The isotope analysis indicated P. boisei individuals preferred C4 grasses and sedges over C3 trees, shrubs and bushes. The findings showed their diets averaged about 77 percent C4 plants, ranging from a low of 61 percent to a high of 91 percent.
That's statistically indistinguishable from the grass diets of grazing animals that lived at the same time: the ancestors of zebras, pigs, warthogs and hippos, said Cerling.
"They were competing with them," he said. "They were eating at the same table."
"Frankly, we didn't expect to find the primate equivalent of a cow dangling from a remote twig of our family tree," said study co-author Matt Sponheimer, anthropology professor at the University of Colorado Boulder.
"Fortunately for us, the work of several research groups over the last several years has begun to soften prevailing notions of early hominid diets. If we had presented our new results at a scientific meeting 20 years ago, we would have been laughed out of the room."
The researchers report the findings in a paper titled, "Diet of Paranthropus boisei in the Early Pleistocene of East Africa." The National Science Foundation's Physical Anthropology Program provided funding for the research.
Other authors included Emma Mbua, Frances Kirera, Fredrick Manthi and Meave Leakey from the National Museums of Kenya, Fredrick Grine from Stony Brook University in New York and Kevin Uno from the University of Utah.

A new study of itch adds to growing evidence that the chemical signals that make us want to scratch are the same signals that make us wince in pain. The interactions between itch and pain are only partly understood, said itch and pain researcher Diana Bautista, an assistant professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Aurora, has anyone ever told you that you are beautiful?
You're right, that's too cliché
and demeaning to group you with everyday beauty.
Hot damn girl you know how to bring it.
The undulating curves and caresses
the flashes followed by coy addresses
the teasing the tickling the beckoning
you enthrall like no other.
I have never seen anything like you
and I fear that I never will again
but at least I can die tomorrow
knowing that I witnessed the incomparable glory
of the one and only
Aurora Borealis.
Aurora Borealis
Aurora, has anyone ever told you that you are beautiful?
Spring in Alaska
Welcome to Spring in the Northwest
but like the way north Northwest
Like the where are we on the map Northwest
Alaska, the Last Frontier
the Big Dipper on a navy blue flag
where there are more men than vaginas
"where the odds are good
but the goods are odd"
where you drive past moose crossings
and the Chena River at every turn.
Snow piled upon snow piled upon ice
and gosh darn it if you don't slip
every fourth step.
I see green fighting through barren brown
and I know it seems impossible
but I swear we have seen the forest multiply
in just five days.
Don't peel the birch off the birch trees
(but who would do such a thing?)
and ignore the bedraggled hitchhikers
boring their eyes into your sunglasses
flicking their thumbs at your breasts
and whatever you do
keep your gas tank full and your truck
at the ready.
Si, se puede
Cesar Chavez, Cesar Chavez
A man, Mexican American,
a Mexi-man.
Lacy Telles, not Tell-us
Tay-yes, entiende?
Biking down the streets of San Francisco
Crossing Cesar Chavez Street
Not paying attention at first
Until I biked by Cesar Chavez Elementary
Until I got a day off of school
Until I took a picture of the mural
in the Mission District, rainbow eyes
inside the weathered face.
I didn't know that Cesar Chavez
was a pioneer, a leader, a man
willing to stand
up for human rights, Chicano rights
(And do you know what Chicano means?)
And not just Chicanos, but workers.
Workers exploited, abused,
you know the story
but just because you've heard it all before
does not mean you know.
The parade that parades down the streets
of the Mission does not tell the tale
of the man who fasted
does not tell the tale
of the man who prayed
does not tell the tale
of the man who fought
for the freedom of others,
not just his children, but yours too.
And if you are a farm worker
March 31st isn't just another day
on your calendar
and if you are a union worker
you know that these things are never easy,
have never been easy
And if you, like me, find yourself
riding a bicycle down the spine
of the San Francisco history book,
past the produce markets and
taquerias of Valencia Street,
remember the man
Si, se puede.
Quiet Dark
Two a.m. and no-one is home
Turn off the lights, put down the phone
Crawl into bed with only a book
Pages of words to fill every nook
No work, no school, no paycheck worries
Only space for vibrant stories
Solitude a New York fight
In darkness do I see the light
Ode to the Avocado
Look in the fruit basket, pushing aside
the uneven orbs of citrus until you find
the dark and malleable egg,
the fruit posing as a vegetable,
bright green enveloped by dark green.
Where do you come from, avocado?
I make nachos, and I think
"Make sure to invite ol' A to this fiesta".
I stir fry peppers and green beans
in soy sauce and lemon;
we all know it wouldn't taste the same
without you, Avocado.
Pasta and panzanella salad?
Bellissimo! Buon appetito!
It just doesn't make sense, Avocado.
You're that actor they cast
as the villain in that one movie,
the father in the next,
Santa Claus in the holiday feature,
and then as the bumbling genius who gets
the pretty lady and saves the world.
How can you be so many things to
so many people?
And do you know what??
I saw you in a smoothie the other day.
A smoothie!
What the hell, Avocado?
Someone needs to put you in your place,
before you spread yourself too thin.
Pick a cuisine, already, quit showing up
on every menu in every type of restaurant.
It's flashy, and frankly, kind of
Ok, ok, ok, I take it back.
Forgive me?
Dear A, I love you.
Love, Me.
Learning to Speak Aussie
There are the simple things, like boot versus trunk
or toe-mah-toe sauce versus ketchup.
(Catsup? Does anyone spell it that way, anymore?)
That first time you told me you had the shits,
and I was alarmed.
When my sister killed her interview,
you were alarmed,
then turned around and murdered your burger.
Who sings that song, "I Got You Babe"?
Sonny and … Sure.
Sure. That's not how you spell it.
Sure! Sure! You say. It's Sure.
And then your dad offered me a rissole,
which sounded like rizzle,
at the Ari, which sounded like aria,
but was really the RSL,
which is kind of like an Elk's Lodge,
except I don't really know what Elk's Lodges are
but basically families go there for affordable food and space.
Remember we played the pokeys at the Ari?
At first I thought you were inviting me
to engage in illicit acts at the family gathering
(I wouldn't put it past you, you dirty girl)
but the pokeys are what we call slot machines, slots,
which, come to think of it, do not
sound so innocent, either.
Howyadoon? Four syllables shrunk to two,
your favorite trick.
Reckon it will rain? Grab the brollie.
I feel like bogan is a slang I shouldn't use,
just like you should maybe stay away
from calling anyone white trash.
(It isn't very nice.)
We both dislike pikers, except I didn't know
I disliked pikers, I just knew I hated flakes.
We look into each other's eyes, and you say,
"Sometimes I think you don't understand me!"
and I stare back at you and reply
"I don't understand you."
How can a scone be a skahn,
and a cone be a witch's hat?
How can someone wear a pair of carkeys?
You no longer say "Djal-ah-pee-no",
but Carlos becomes the loss of a car
and Spanish will always be my thing,
not yours, leave the translating up to me, babe.
Do we need a translator?
Nah. It's better this way.
I heart Margaret Atwood
A couple of months ago I joined hundreds of New Yorkers in celebration of Margaret Atwood's birthday. I sat in the audience, by myself, as Margaret Atwood and Neil Gaiman engaged in witty conversation, running the gamut from books to politics to film to America. Something Ms. Atwood said resounded so poignantly, it moved me. Mr. Gaiman told her that he counted her as one of the few role models he could look up to, for she was a poet, a screenwriter, an inventor, and an author of speculative fiction as well as historical fiction. He proclaimed this an anomaly, since most writers stick to one genre or one medium, and he found himself to be more like her, unwilling to be boxed in to just one category. Ms. Atwood replied that she was one of the lucky ones, because "back when she went to college", there was no one who sat you down and made you decide between fiction or poetry; they just let you write. This spoke to me, since I have always been able to move from prose to poetry to screenwriting with fluidity, yet have also faced barriers because of this unorthodox approach. It was even more time appropriate because just one week prior to this event, I was informed that even though I am a Creative Writing major at Brooklyn College, I actually needed to choose an emphasis between fiction, poetry, or plays. This was news to me, and frustrating news, indeed. I am primarily a fiction writer, but I really want to take a poetry class in Spring, and yet this is not recommended unless I want to choose poetry as my emphasis.
And so I sat alone in the audience, for once thankful that no-one was able to accompany me that night because I might have been more self conscious over my emotion. Margaret Atwood is my hero, and she has given me the encouragement I need to refuse a stifling label.
Neddiana Jones
Tonight my sister leaves for Israel. She will be flying into Tel Aviv and then trekking over to Jaffa to start a 5 week program with UCLA. (http://www.nelc.ucla.edu/jaffa/site.html)
When I tell people that my kid sister is going on an archaeological dig in Israel for over a month, usually I am faced with wide eyes, exclamations of awe, and tinges of fear or jealousy sprinkled in the commentary. While Indiana Jones might be a stretch, she will be digging and working with stuff from 1400-1200 B.C., which is pretty awesome.
She will be thrown into a foreign environment, staying with a band of students from various cities, laboring in the heat, and learning in an environment so very far from her home. She has a stack of massively heavy textbooks stashed in her luggage, in addition to the studying she has already completed in advance. She is going to rock it.
Basically I am brimming with pride for my kid sister who is following a dream and barreling through her limitations. This is not an easy adventure, and no doubt she will be faced with surprises each week and unforeseen challenges that inevitably occur when you are on your own in a completely different environment. For those of us that know her, we can see the strength she has been building and accumulating.
She is one smartypants that will no doubt succeed, but I still sometimes look at her as my shy little sister who needs assistance talking to strangers. So proud of the little baby.
Thursday Morning
Sitting in a coffee shop, snow on the streets outside the window and glasses fogging up. Seriously, my glasses keep fogging up. I presume it means I wear them too flush against my face, but I like it this way, less times during the day of me pushing them back off the tip of my nose.
And it is cold outside, but colder than that, and I think about the girl I met yesterday who asked me if I missed California.
The girl who confessed that she hated it here, loathed living in New York, but was sticking it out a little longer because of her boyfriend. They had tried living together in LA, but he hated it, so he dragged her back to New York, and now look where they were. She wanted me to agree, to laud the warmth of the west coast and shake my head at the cold of the east coast (the wind, the stares, the lack of "hello's" from strangers in line) but I didn't.
How could I tell her about my friends and my book club and my work and my writing and my bike rides without sounding like a braggart? Like her year and a half of giving it a go just couldn't compare to my success in fitting in. I thought about inviting her out but then saw the futility in my gesture because it was obvious to both of us she was going to move back to the land of sunshine.
And the sun is shining here, right now, I can see it over my misty glasses and the fogged up window and it is almost possible to forget the chill that awaits because that hopeful sun is shining so brightly.
(P.S. The photo is one I took in Australia. I am dreaming of those sunny days on the water.)
Gorilla Trekking
Part of the reason we joined the tour that we did was because we were gung ho about seeing the Mountain Gorillas. I had never met anyone personally who has done the trek, but I've heard about it through clients and we read about it and were intrigued. We even re-watched the movie "Gorillas in the Mist" (with a few parts that we had to fast forward through) in December to help prepare us. (Sidenote: Despite a few graphic and intense scenes, the movie is worth watching and holy cow was Diane Fossey a pioneer!)
We left our campsite early in the morning (which was status quo for the whole trip, by the way, and any time we were able to sleep past 5:30 in the morning we were ecstatic) in a combi van driven by a local. There were six of us in our group, including me and Hunya, and since the maximum allowed to see a gorilla family is eight, we had two stranger dangers placed with us by the National Park. We were assigned a tour leader, and a security guy equipped with an automatic weapon. (By this point I was so used to seeing men and women strolling around with automatic weapons, I was not that wide-eyed.) We drove to a small village near the border of the Bwindi Forest and we began our hike. Within the first ten minutes, we were winded. It was a high elevation and a steep incline and we had been sitting in the truck for days, so we were ill prepared for the seriousness of the hike. Little did we know that the beginning of the hike was easy compared to the rest of the hike once we were inside the National Park. There are not really trails and many times we were climbing over trees and branches and praying that our feet would not slip through to some unknown depth. My walking stick, which I had initially considered cumbersome, became my gauge for every step and also my balance for when I had to hop and jump and plunge and pray that I didn't miss a step and plummet down the steep mountainside deep into the rain forest. I am telling you, this hike was serious. Erika, an older woman from Germany in our group, was the unlucky one who actually fell. A tangle of interwoven branches caught her like a net, saving her from hurting herself too badly. (It was so shocking when it happened that it took thirty minutes for our concern to wear off into laughter, because she totally fell backwards like out of a movie, and of course it was funny!)
Anyway, after a couple of hours, we finally came upon the gorillas. (Trackers leave early in the morning to find the family for you to see then they radio the guides.) We were lucky enough to see two Silverbacks and one baby!! No joke, the baby did a little mini chest pounding with his tiny fists, which was the cutest thing ever. The gorillas have wee beady eyes set in their oddly shaped noggins and their necks and shoulders and biceps are massive. Beyond massive. The power exuded just when walking is incredible. They can destroy everything in their path while making it look like they are just pulling up tiny weeds. I couldn't stop staring, even though their actions were mundane and simple, and I couldn't stop taking photos. We were all enthralled.
We had to follow them a bit, and it was interesting watching the trackers at work, determining which way to go without getting too close. The law is that an hour interaction is all that is allowed, so when our time was up, we left them to go eat lunch and then head back down. While we were eating lunch, I kept looking up in the tree above us because I thought I heard something. Van and I were a little separate from the rest of our group, but we couldn't see anything above us. Then! We finally saw movement in the super tall tree above the one we were looking in and it was a Silverback shaking around!! He was so high up and disguised in leaves, but then he shimmied down and we watched the whole thing. Of course I uttered the ubiquitous, "I told you so!" but it was lost in our wonder at seeing another big guy right above us. So amazing.
Our hike down was almost as tedious, for it still had inclines and booby traps and despite the man with the machete ahead of us, it was not a trail. Then we had to drive for over two hours to get back to the camp in a van with no AC that kept sucking in red clay and blowing it all over our faces. It felt like we were in a cartoon when the cloud of red dust puffed out all over our faces. When we got back to our camp we discovered that the other group had returned three hours before us. It turns out that some people have easier hikes than others, and that different families are more accessible. Despite our exhaustion, we were so stoked to have had such an adventure. It was untoppable.

Ranging from Palestrina to Mozart to Inspector Morse composer Barrington Pheloung, this unashamedly popular disc of sacred choral works has already provoked a minor kerfuffle: a new arrangement of the Adagietto from Mahler's Fifth Symphony to the words of the Ave Maria has made one Mahler commentator recoil in horror. For less sensitive souls this setting, like others by Rachmaninov, Bruckner and Franck, and contemporaries MacMillan, Whitacre and Rutter, shows off the warm, immediate New College, Oxford sound in which individuals are encouraged to sing out rather than, as some collegiate choirs prefer, blend in. Some tonal unevenness aside, the results are vivid and committed. One for choral lovers, not purists.

Water Chestnut Eradication Report
chestnut was first recorded in North America near Concord, Massachusetts in
1859. Since that time, wild populations have become established in many
locations in the Northeastern United States. Water chestnut was recorded for
the first time in the Bird River in Baltimore County in 1955. The Maryland
Departments of Game and Inland Fish and Tidewater Fisheries used mechanical
removal and chemicals (the herbicide 2,4-D) to control the population. In
1964, water chestnut reappeared in the Bird River and an additional 100
acres were discovered in the Sassafras River in Kent County. Thirty acres
were mechanically removed from the Sassafras River in 1964. A combination of
removal techniques were used once again in 1965, when 200 acres were
eradicated on the Sassafras.
The harvesting efforts were believed to have been successful,
and no plants had been reported until the summer of 1997. A call from a
landowner on the Bird River about an unusual plant led to the discovery of a
small population of water chestnut in a cove just upriver from Railroad Creek.
From the summer of 1997 to the summer of 1998, these plants expanded from 3
acres to approximately 30 acres, and reports were also received of water
chestnut growing in Lloyds Creek of the Sassafras River. Both populations were
in the same locations from which water chestnut had been harvested in the
1960's, suggesting that this was a resurgence of the same population of plants.
Maryland Department of Natural Resources attempted to eradicate water chestnut
from the Bird River, Harford County and the Sassafras River, Kent County during
the summer of 1999. The population in the Bird River had spread from
approximately 50 plants in the summer of 1997 (based on conversations with local
landowners) to over three acres in 1998. By this time, the three acre area was
so heavily covered with plants that the water beneath the plants was barely
visible. The Sassafras population was believed to be slightly larger, but
determining the exact quantity was not possible. Based on conversations with
aquatic plant control experts from around the country, it was decided that
application of the herbicide 2,4-D would be a safe and effective control
technique. Despite this advice, public and state concern over the application of
an herbicide to Chesapeake Bay waters lead DNR to save herbicide application as
a last resort in the event that other techniques didn't work. It was decided to
launch a large mechanical and hand removal effort.
Water Chestnut Management Timeline1999
Mechanical harvesting using an aquatic plant harvesting boat took place on 14, 15 and 16 of June on the Sassafras, and June 18 on the Bird, removing an estimated 260,000 pounds of water chestnut.
A follow-up hand harvesting effort took place in July to clean up the remaining plants.
All harvested plants were composted in the water using floating cages designed specifically for the project.
A combination approach was used, with mechanical harvesting by boat followed by hand removal by volunteers. Approximately 30 volunteers manually removed plants from the Sassafras River and 40 volunteers
manually removed plants from the Bird River.
Less than 1000 pounds of plants were discovered and removed from rivers in 2000, indicating that mechanical and hand removal efforts were successfully reducing the total number of plants.
In the Sassafras River, about 2 acres of Lloyds Creek and 3 acres of Shallcross Creek contained scattered plants. The harvester cut and collected the majority of plants over the course of two days.
Groups of volunteers then combed the river for additional plants in late June removed several more bushels.
In the Bird River, the harvester worked for one day, cutting less than 150 pounds of plants from a small tributary upriver of Railroad Creek. Volunteers finished the job on June 15th, with only a handful of
additional plants being collected.
Efforts once again took place on both the Bird and the Sassafras River in mid to late June, using approximately 80 volunteers.
Not enough plants were present at any of these locations to justify using a mechanical harvester- a significant milestone for the overall eradication effort.
The total volume of plants harvested declined once again, with only a few bushels of plants harvested from the Bird River, and about 200 pounds of plants from the Sassafras.
The combination of mechanical and hand removal of plants from 1999-2002 has proven to be so successful that there has been no need to resort to herbicides to control this pest. It is likely, however, that
continued efforts at water chestnut harvesting will be needed for several more years before we are able to truly claim that the water chestnut infestation is a thing of the past.
2003 - 2007
Control efforts were performed on both rivers using personal watercraft, DNR work boats, as well as canoes and kayaks.
Beginning mid June, DNR personnel surveyed all shoreline areas in the vicinity of the original populations and for several miles along the shoreline both upriver and downriver. In each year, a few hundred plants
were found in each river in generally the same areas as the first several years.
In 2004, a substantial additional population of plants was discovered in a small pond off the eastern shore of Woodland Creek not easily visible from the river. Approximately 600 pounds of water chestnut were
harvested from this pond and the cove into which it outflows. In 2005, no plants were found in this pond, but another pond was found across the river that also contained several hundred pounds of water chestnut.
The Sassafras River Association joined the effort to control water chestnut, and assisted with the collection in June.
A private landowner off of Woodland Creek contacted DNR to request a biologist survey his sediment pond. Approximately 2 acres of the pond were covered with water chestnut, and after an unsuccessful hand removal
effort, the pond level was lowered significantly over the winter.
The pond was treated in July 2008 with Clearcast, and there is very little water chestnut left in the pond in the summer of 2009. An outreach effort was conducted though the Sassafras River Association to
find any private landowners that may have water chestnut infestations on their property.
Removal efforts continued on the on both the Bird and Sassafras Rivers.
Approximately 25 bushels of plants were removed from a small, unnamed creek adjacent to Railroad Creek and Taylor Creek (adjacent to Mariner Point Park). No plants were found in Day's Cove.
DNR biologists worked with the Sassafras Riverkeeper and volunteers from the Sassafras River Association to remove 60 bushels of water chestnut from Turners Creek, Dyer Creek, Woodland Creek, Island Creek
and a small cove behind Pond's Bar adjacent to the Sassafras Natural Resources Management Area. The majority of the plants were collected from Turners Creek.
A record low two bushels were harvested on the Sassafras River, with most of them found in Lloyds and Woodland Creeks.
On the Bird River, 10 bushels were harvested in Days Cove. GPS coordinates are used to mark infestations, and they indicate that infestations are found in the same general areas year to year.
On the Sassafras River, a sharp increase in population was observed, with 220 bushels being collected in Lloyds Creek and 120 bushels collected in Turners Creek.
On the Bird River, 25 bushels were found in Day Cove, which was more than double the previous year.
After a year of record lows on both rivers, it became obvious the seed bank that repopulates these areas is fairly substantial.
After a year with substantial increases in both rivers, 2011 yielded 50 bushels on the Sassafras 40 bushels on the Bird River.
The combination of mechanical and hand removal of plants from 1999-2010 has proven to be so successful that there has been no need to use herbicides. It is likely, however, that continued efforts at water
chestnut harvesting will be needed indefinitely to keep the population in check and to prevent further spread. Funding is actively sought to allow an expansion of the control effort.
The Sassafras River had a sharp decrease in water chestnut in Lloyds and Turners Creek, but an increase in Woodland, Island and Dyer Creeks. Crews from DNR and the Sassafras Riverkeeper removed 30 bushels in the Sassafras, but were forced to cut the harvest short due to Mycrocystis blooms starting in June.
On the Bird River, DNR field staff and interns removed 12 bushels of water chestnut, a sharp decrease from the year before.
DNR will continue to work with the Sassafras Riverkeeper and local volunteer groups to keep water chestnut under control on the Bird and Sassafras Rivers.

Last week WWD reported that magazines like Vogue, Vanity Fair, Lucky and Allure experienced double-digit drops in newsstands sales during the first half of the year. As digital releases gain popularity and people become wary about their expenses, fashion magazines are having a hard time keeping readers interested. Anna Wintour, current Editor at US Vogue, was considered a revolutionary when she first came to the job, as she changed the look of the magazine and gained thousands of readers. Clearly, times have changed, where it takes more than a celebrity on the cover to sell a couple thousand copies and ad pages become more important than the actual content.
Diana Vreeland may have died in 1989, but her footprint on the fashion and publishing industry is still alive today. Throughout her career, Vreeland was an editor at Vogue, Harper's Bazaar and worked with the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute. Besides Wintour, Vreeland is probably one of the most legendary magazine editors to have ever existed. As an editor, Vreeland was known to incorporate collaborations with designers, photographers, actors, models and people in the industry.
Fashionista posted the trailer to Vreeland's documentary film The Eye Has To Travel, which will be out later this year. After the news of depreciating magazine sales, a film about one of the greatest editors of all time could not be better timed. At a point where fashion editors have been playing games of musical chairs over the last three years and leaving publications for better paying retail jobs (Carine Roitfeld anyone?), a reminder of how to run a successful and groundbreaking publication is needed.
When it came to editorials, Vreeland was not afraid to push boundaries and always had a vision in mind. When she was editor at Vogue, the magazine was published twice a month, and every issue was groundbreaking in its style advice, fashion editorials and other content. Today, we as readers are lucky if we can sit through a whole issue. In her autobiography, D.V., Vreeland wrote that "Most people haven't got a point of view; they need to have it given to them." The inside of her magazines included the likes of Twiggy, Cher, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, and launched the careers of Oscar De La Renta, Diane Von Furstenberg and Manolo Blahnik, making Vogue a well rounded publication.
Today, when details on magazine issues are released, online publications dissect: how many times a cover star was used, how many times a certain look was used on different covers, and how a photo appears "inspired" by another person's work. But Diana Vreeland did not gain the title "High Priestess of Fashion" by taking inspiration from others; she was the one that usually offered it.

Technical report on design intervention
Aditi Padhi, Apurva Gupta, Mehul Agrawal, Manoj Majhi
Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati Guwahati, India
Abstract—The following paper outlines a web-based application/platform to facilitate efficient and effective cabsharing. The application serves as a platform for seeking or creating cab-shares. It, like any other social networking website, enables you to create your profile and lets you create a share if you have already booked a cab or lets you join others who are seeking passengers. This paper talks in detail about the methodology followed to achieve the installation of such an application. We started off with user research, followed by defining user requirements and the information architecture and through repetitive feedback from stakeholders and potential users, ended up with the final UI designs of the application. The application acts as an interface to connect two people in search of the people to share the cab and thus fare. Keywords—Cab Sharing; User Centered Design; Information System;
fro to the airport/railway station. Located at the north bank of the river Brahmaputra, commuters have to travel a distance of about 20km to go to the other side of the city, thus paying heavily. Also, since many travel by the same route, there is cumulative wastage of resources, both natural and monetary. Thus, a research was done to evaluate the solution which could be implemented. Qualitative research was done to understand the behavior, expectations and motivations of users. Existing applications were studied for their information architecture, design elements and usability. After the research, we worked towards defining the solution asking the questions of: What would the application be about? Who would use the application? How will the user use it? Why will the user use it?
The project was taken up to solve the problems faced by...
