Registered Charity no 1082853
The Centaur Trust was formed in 2000 as a charity to advance the education of the public in all matters relating to the horse including the art and science of dressage, and the care and welfare of the horse.
The Centaur Trust has recently had a policy change in order to concentrate on the educational aspect and move away from the recreational side.
This will mean that individual hire will no longer be offered and no further Dressage competitions are planned.
Approved Trainers - those holding a formal nationally recognised qualification - will be able to organise and run their own clinics (minimum client number of three) at a low cost.
Approved Groups will be able to continue to organise their own clinics – minimum of two hours group sessions.
Support has also been given in the past to other groups such as:
The Pony Club – UKCC training course for coaches.
British Show Jumping Association – regional training course.
Event Horse Owners Association – regional training course.
The Centaur Trust will continue to support groups such as these.
Please contact us if you or your organisation wishes to run a training clinic –
we may be able to offer support towards costs.
The Centaur Trust runs a number of training clinics where the cost to riders is kept at a minimum and offers some subsidised places for riders of 21 years of age and under.
The Centaur Trust intends to extend the educational training by running events such as Sport Psychology Workshops for example.
The indoor school has a 22x60m silica sand surface. The mezzanine gallery runs across the short end of the arena and is fully glazed on the school side.
A wood burning stove heats the gallery in the winter. Tea and coffee making facilities are available in the gallery.
The outdoor school has a 20x60m silica sand surface. Box parking is on hard standing.

Comments about Focus Foodservice 18" x 24" Chrome Plated Wire Shelf:
...to utilize. First, they fit either way, not just with the galleries up like some chrome shelving. That is because the holes that slide onto the side poles are not tapered. Even so, the plastic clips fit pretty precisely so there isn't any slippage, and I have very heavy things stored on these shelves. Second, the shelves are indeed very heavy-duty--on one shelf I have a 75-pound jeweler's rolling mill and on another about 10 gallon-sized cans of paint--that's pretty hefty stuff. And third, the price is great. These are a good buy and I love the way they work. BTW, always get the wheel package. Moving this unit around where I need it makes life a little easier in my studio.

How to get data computing faster for java developers
The columnar storage is good, especially when there are lots of tabular fields (this is quite common). In querying, the data to traverse is far less than that on the row storage. Less data to traverse brings less I/O workloads and higher query speed. However, the Hadoop application consumes most time on the hard disk I/O without columnar storage.
Increase Database speed, decrease database expenses
The data warehouse is essential to enterprise business intelligence, which accounts for a great part of the total enterprise cost. With the global data explosion in recent years, the business data volume grow significantly, posing a serious challenge for enterprise data warehouse to meet the diverse and complex business demands.
How to ease database computing in Report Development with Data Computation layer
According to research, most complex report development work can be simplified by performing the data source computation in advance. For example, find out the clients who bought all products in the given list, and then present the details of these clients.
Three Solutions for Structured Data Process without Database in Java
In Java, implementing via SQL is a well-developed practice for database computation. However, the structured data is not only stored in the database, but also in the text, Excel, and XML files.
Eliminating Time Waste in Reports with Java Development Tool
According to research, most complex report development work can be simplified by performing the data source computation in advance. For example, find out the clients who bought all products in the given list, and then present the details of these clients.
Developers Find Innovative Way for Data Process in Java
In Java development, the typical data computation problems are characterized with:
- Long computation procedure requiring a great deal of debugging
- Data may from database, or Excel/Txt
- Data may from multiple databases, instead of just one.
Complex Calculation in Reports with Innovative Java Development Tool
In report development, we may need to present the data from multiple databases in one report, such as data from MSSQL database for CRM and Oracle database for ERP. If the reporting tool like iReport only supports single data source, then we need to consolidate the multiple data sources into a single data source.
Solutions of 5 Computation Layers to Data Process in Java
The data computation layer in between the data persistent layer and the application layer is responsible for computing the data from data persistence layer, and returning the result to the application layer. The data computation layer of Java aims to reduce the coupling between these two layers and shift the computational workload from them.
Avoiding Pitfall of Failure: Java, SQL or other Programming Language?
Recently, I read Why Big Data Projects Fail by Stephen Brobst. I can't agree more with his opinions which exposed the problem I've been worried about. In this article, I am going to further discuss this topic to remind the enterprises to beware of falling into such pitfall of failure.
Integrating Dynamic Calculation Script for Set Operations in Java
In Java development, we may encounter the complex set operations. Java alone is not powerful enough to save programmers' efforts in implementing the computation details, which is time-consuming and poor in code reuse. In view of this, programmers usually resort to dynamic calculation script for set operation.

Green Building News
Green Building News June 2007
June 1, 2007
Green Building Initiative™ President Showcases Value of Sustainability to Senate Committee on Environment
Ward Hubbell, president of the Green Building Initiative™ (GBI), recently testified before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works about the opportunities to leverage sustainable construction principles to help curb climate change.
Hubbell joined industry representatives from the National Association of Home Builders, U.S. Green Building Council, Healthy Schools Network and others, who testified during the special hearing, titled "Green Buildings: Benefits to Health, the Environment and the Bottom Line."
As part of his testimony, Hubbell emphasized three key points for the committee to contemplate as they develop future sustainability policies:
- Sustainable design does not by itself result in high performance buildings. It must be combined with effective building operation and maintenance to achieve the desired results.
- Life cycle assessment (LCA) is an essential part of the sustainable design process. Decisions about building materials and products should be based on quantifiable life cycle data, rather than prescriptive approaches (whereby materials are assumed to have environmental benefits based on rapid renewability, recycled content or other attributes).
- Competition in green rating systems is needed to help the building sector contribute innovative solutions to climate change
"The GBI applauds the members of the Committee on Environment and Public Works for tapping a diverse pool of experts from the design and construction industry to share their views on priority issues related to sustainability," said Hubbell. "It is clear that we have a tremendous opportunity, through green building, to help address climate change. But there are no easy answers. To succeed, we must first address fundamental issues within the green building movement-such as the all-too-common gap between sustainable design and actual building performance-which is why we need the collective expertise of the entire building industry."
National Survey Shows Consumers Influenced by Energy Efficiency
Public awareness of EPA's ENERGY STAR® label has jumped to 68 percent of U.S. households, according to a recent nationwide survey. In many major markets where local utilities and other organizations use ENERGY STAR to promote energy efficiency to their customers, public awareness of ENERGY STAR is even greater, averaging 76 percent.
"We are thrilled that awareness of ENERGY STAR continues to grow," said Bill Wehrum, acting assistant administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation. "More than ever, Americans are making a clear choice to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
The report titled "National Awareness of ENERGY STAR for 2006" presents an analysis of a survey commissioned by the Consortium for Energy Efficiency, a non-profit organization that promotes the manufacture and purchase of energy-efficient products and services.
Additional results from the survey show that:
- More than 60 percent of households reported being favorably influenced by the ENERGY STAR label
- More than 30 percent of U.S. households knowingly purchased an ENERGY STAR qualifying product or appliance in the past year
- More than 70 percent of these households reported they are likely to recommend ENERGY STAR products to their friends, with 29 percent of households reporting they are "extremely likely" to recommend ENERGY STAR
The survey report highlights that the government's ENERGY STAR is helping Americans make consumer choices that are energy efficient and good for the environment. The survey has been done for the past seven years.
ENERGY STAR was introduced by EPA in 1992 as a voluntary, market-based partnership to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through energy efficiency. Today, the ENERGY STAR label can be found on more than 50 different kinds of products as well as new homes. Products that have earned the ENERGY STAR designation prevent greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy-efficiency specifications set by the government. In 2006 alone, Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved about $14 billion on their energy bills while reducing the greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those of 25 million vehicles.
Energy-Efficiency Tips to Save Money, Curb Pollution
Despite seasonally higher summer electricity prices and the federal government's prediction of a slight up-tick in summer electricity costs, consumers can exercise considerable control over their home energy bills by employing energy-efficiency technologies and being smart about their energy use, says the Alliance to Save Energy. They also will be reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, helping to protect our environment from the risks of global climate change and contributing to electricity reliability.
"The average U.S. household spent more than $2,000 last year on home energy costs," noted Alliance President Kateri Callahan. "That's a big bite out of a family's budget, but consumers can reduce those costs by up to 30 percent – and even more in some cases – with energy efficiency. And it's not too late to get some financial assistance from Uncle Sam," she continued. "Homeowners who make certain energy-efficiency home improvements by December 31 can cut their 2007 federal income taxes by up to $500."
The Alliance advises consumers to take these additional steps to curb their summer cooling and other energy costs:
Air conditioning….and otherwise "keeping your cool"
- For central air conditioning systems, look for the ENERGY STAR®, the government's symbol for energy efficiency, and purchase the system with the highest possible Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER). When buying new equipment, it is important to get a quality installation. Make sure you get a contractor who can do the job right. Tax credits of up to $300 can help offset the cost of energy-efficient CAC systems.
- Additional tax credits are available for insulation and sealing products and efficient windows, doors, skylights, heat pumps and hot water heaters. Details in English and Spanish at www.ase.org/taxcredits.
- Get even more tax savings by wrapping in funds for energy-efficiency home improvements when refinancing your home mortgage. Most likely the interest you pay will be tax deductible.
- Cooling puts the greatest stress on your summer energy bill and the power grid. EPA's ENERGY STAR Program advises that just as a tune-up for your car can improve your gas mileage, a yearly tune-up of your heating and cooling system can improve efficiency and comfort. And be sure to clean or replace filters monthly or as needed.
- Use ceiling fans with the ENERGY STAR label for additional cooling and air circulation so you can raise the thermostat and cut AC costs. Ceiling fans cool people, not rooms. If the room is unoccupied, turn off the ceiling fan to save energy.
- Seal your heating and cooling ducts. Sealing and insulating ducts that move air to and from a forced-air central air conditioner or heat pump can improve the efficiency of your cooling system by as much as 20 percent – or even more – according to EPA's ENERGY STAR Program.
- Bigger is not always better. Poorly-sized air conditioning units can inflate your energy costs and contribute to poor indoor air quality that worsens allergies and breathing problems. Check with your contractor or local air conditioning system retailer to properly size your unit.
- Let a programmable thermostat "remember for you" to automatically coordinate the indoor climate with your daily and weekend patterns to reduce cooling bills by up to 10 percent. Set it to crank the AC back up before you expect to return, so you come home to a comfortable house without wasting energy and creating pollution all day. EPA ENERGY STAR notes that proper use of pre-programmed settings on a programmable thermostat can yield yearly savings of about $150 in energy costs. Look for the ENERGY STAR on qualified models.
- Install appropriate insulation for your climate, and seal air leaks to increase your comfort, make your home quieter and cleaner, reduce your cooling costs up to 20 percent – and generate a tax credit.
- Go "window-shopping" at www.efficientwindows.org. Discover how high-performance ENERGY STAR windows can cut cooling costs by as much as 30 percent while increasing indoor comfort and lessening fading of home furnishings.
- Cut your air conditioning load and reduce pollution by planting leafy trees around your home and installing reflective tiles on your roof.
- Close blinds or shades on the south- and west-facing windows during the day, or install shading devices such as trellises or awnings to avoid heat build-up.
Additional ways to cut summer electricity bills:
- Generate light, not heat with ENERGY STAR qualified lighting. According to EPA, these energy-efficient products provide bright, warm light but use at least 2/3 less energy than standard lighting, generate 70 percent less heat and last up to 10 times longer. According to EPA, if every American home replaced five high-use light fixtures, or their bulbs, with ENERGY STAR qualified products, the yearly energy savings would be about $60 per household and about $6.5 billion for the nation at large. The avoided greenhouse gases would be equivalent to the emissions from more than 8 million cars!
- Also look for the ENERGY STAR label to cut related energy bills for room air conditioners, major appliances, home office equipment, electronics and more – 50 types of products in all – by up to 30 percent. Find retailers near you at www.energystar.gov.
- Turn off everything not in use: lights, TVs, computers.
- Use dimmers, timers and motion detectors on indoor and outdoor lighting.
- Curb costs of "standby power" by looking for the ENERGY STAR label on electronics – TVs, VCRs, CD players, DVD players, cordless telephones and more – that continue to use less electricity in the "off" mode to keep display clocks lit and memory chips and remote controls working. ENERGY STAR products use less energy while in the "off" mode.
- Activate "sleep" features on computers and office equipment that power down when the equipment is not in use for a while. Turn off equipment during long periods of non-use to cut costs and improve longevity.
Rocky Mountain Institute Names New CEO
Rocky Mountain Institute recently announced the appointment of high-tech industry veteran Michael Potts to head the noted "think and do tank." Potts succeeds Amory B. Lovins who moves up to become RMI's Chairman and Chief Scientist. Both changes take effect immediately, as Chairman John C. Fox also becomes Lead Trustee.
"The world is waking up to the need for efficient and restorative use of natural resources," said Potts. "RMI's innovative whole-systems approach has created groundbreaking solutions for 25 years. Now our time has come and demand for these solutions is stronger than ever."
Potts, an active member of RMI's Board of Trustees, was most recently Managing Partner of Galway Investments, a boutique investment firm. Previously, he served as CEO for American Fundware, creator of the FundWare line of software product used by more than 2,000 non-profit and government organizations and held other senior positions with fast growing high-technology companies. A Denver resident, Potts will split his time between RMI's Boulder office and RMI headquarters in Old Snowmass, Colorado.
Amory Lovins, co-founder and a driving force behind RMI, is in great demand as a speaker and senior advisor. In his new role at RMI, freed of management responsibilities, Lovins will focus on thought leadership, strategic influence and high-impact special initiatives. Those include leading the implementation of RMI's Pentagon-cosponsored roadmap, Winning the Oil Endgame, for getting the U.S. completely off oil by the 2040s, led by business for profit.
Yahoo! recently launched a new solutions-oriented web site, Yahoo! Green, featuring a weekly blog post by Lovins. He conveys in his inaugural post why climate solutions are "not costly, but profitable" and points Yahoo! readers to RMI's Winning the Oil Endgame.

Fertilizing the Lawn with Scott's Super Turf Builder
Hello, friends! I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend. The weather has been fantastic in southern Oregon, very springy, and we've gotten a jump-start on our yard and garden. (Garden post to come!)
Get fertilizer down before weeds pop up, is what my husband always tells me.
We aren't lawn experts, but the first few weeks of nice sunshine in Oregon, we get the mower out and fertilize the lawns.
We try to save money and service/fix the mower ourselves. This year Paul replaced both wheels and got it going in no time. That's one thing I love about the iPhone. You snap a quick photo of what you want to replace and take it to the store. It's so easy to find replacement pieces/buy home improvement parts this way!
I'm the mower in the family, by the way. I don't know what it is about that job, but I love it. Maybe it's the satisfaction of a job complete, nice and neat, and looking great.
So every spring, after the "first mow," we get the fertilizer down, using Scott's Super Turf Builder.
Stomp on the bag to get rid of any clumps.
And hubby gets to work.
The goal for lawn fertilizer is to not kill weeds, but to prevent weeds in the first place.
I love the smell of a freshly mowed lawn. It truly reminds me of Spring and Summer.
And I associate the smell with people coming over to our backyard for a nice sit-down-dinner!
Oh, and see those 9 trees that line the back fence line? They are now gone. Gone! Our neighbors removed all of them last week. One morning we woke up and the tree service was there. (See the man in the tree?)
It took 2 days, but in the meantime, after our initial shock, we realized that we'll have more sun for our 11 raised beds this year. And, the neighbors reported they are building a new fence. Yay!
Change is hard at first, but sometimes it brings great surprises! Stay tuned for a new look in our back yard …
Who mows and fertilizes the lawn in your family, and what month is usually your "first mow"?

I cut the lawn and I usually fertilize it also. I like cutting the grass but don't like feeding it. Our spreader is a little low for my back and I always end up with a sore back for a day or two. I may hire someone to do it this year. I usually cut the lawn around the 18th of April depending on our Midwest weather. Love the smell of fresh cut grass!

Love the smell of the first lawn mowing and the sound of the sprinkler! We have water restrictions this summer in Colorado so we are praying for rain. Send us some please. :)
- #3
I find that stuff works pretty well, though I use the rotary push cart to dispense. I wanted to be organic last season and used corn gluten to try to prevent crabgrass and other weeds..Let's just say I went back to Scotts this year.

28 U.S. Code § 516 - Conduct of litigation reserved to Department of Justice
Source(Added Pub. L. 89–554, § 4(c),Sept. 6, 1966, 80 Stat. 613.)
|U.S. Code
|Revised Statutes and Statutes at Large
|Sept. 3, 1954, ch. 1263, § 11, 68 Stat. 1229.
The section is revised to express the effect of the law. As agency heads have long employed, with the approval of Congress, attorneys to advise them in the conduct of their official duties, the first 56 words of R.S. § 361 and of former section 306 of title 5 are omitted as obsolete.
The section concentrates the authority for the conduct of litigation in the Department of Justice. The words "Except as otherwise authorized by law," are added to provide for existing and future exceptions (e.g., section 1037 of title 10). The words "an agency" are added for clarity and to align this section with section 519 which is of similar import. The words "as such officer" are omitted as unnecessary since it is implied that the officer is a party in his official capacity as an officer.

UNR Financial Aid & Scholarships
Admissions and Student Affairs
Financial aid is any source of funds available to assist students in paying for the costs of a college education. If you think you will need assistance beyond your own financial resources, you are encouraged to apply for financial aid. Whatever your situation, you can be sure that you will be treated fairly and equitably with respect to students in similar financial circumstances as your own.
Most financial aid is based on demonstrated financial need and requires the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Federal and state grants, loans, and work-study are all need-based programs.
Scholarship awards are based on academic merit. College, departmental, foundation, and alumni offer scholarships for specific majors, special talents, leadership, or other criteria specified by a donor. You do not have to show financial need to receive money through merit-based programs. The application process is different from the processes for applying for need-based aid.
Aid is termed to be gift aid or self help. Gift aid includes grants, scholarships, tuition assistance, and other aid, sometimes called "free money". Self-help aid includes work-study and loans that require the student to work or borrow. For specific information relating to medical students please refer to UNSOM's financial planning site.
- Federal Perkins Loan
- Federal Direct Stafford Loan
- Federal Graduate PLUS Loan
- Private Alternative Loan
Please note that due to changes in federal regulations, the Office of Student Financial Aid at the University of Nevada School of Medicine is not allowed to offer recommendations on any lending program. However, we recognize that students need resources for such types of loans. We provide the link to the independent website which offers a current listing of all private alternative loans. Students are encouraged to use the resources on that site to research terms and criteria for various loan programs and make an informed choice.

LOCKPORT, NY - Two suspects charged in connection with the death of five-year-old Isabella Tennant were arraigned on a grand jury indictment Monday afternoon.
John Freeman, Jr. is charged with one count of second-degree murder and one count of tampering with physical evidence.
Freeman's friend, Tyler Best, is charged with one count of hindering prosecution and one count of tampering with evidence.
Tennant was spending the night at her great-grandmother's house in Niagara Falls when she was reported missing in August. Her body was found in a garbage bin that same day just a few blocks from her great-grandmother's home.
Investigators say Freeman killed Tennant and Best helped him dispose of her body. Best later told police where to find Tennant's body.
WEB EXTRA: Read the criminal complaint here
The two suspects didn't say much other than "Yes, your honor" and "No, your honor" as they answered to the charges handed down by the grand jury during their brief arraignments. They were not in the courtroom together.
Both teens pled not guilty and are being held without bail.

Brent Crude Falls on German Data as WTI Discount Narrows
Brent crude tumbled after German industrial output unexpectedly fell, signaling an uneven recovery for Europe's largest economy. The oil's premium over West Texas Intermediate shrank to the narrowest in a month.
Futures slid 2 percent. German production decreased 1.2 percent in October, the Economy Ministry in Berlin reported. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had forecast a 0.7 percent gain. The Brent-WTI spread has tightened by more than $5 in a week as U.S. inventories dropped and TransCanada Corp. prepared to start the southern leg of the Keystone XL pipeline.
"The German industrial number certainly contributed to Brent's weakness," said Tom Finlon, Jupiter, Florida-based director of Energy Analytics Group LLC. "Keystone provided some support for WTI and had an obvious impact on the Brent-WTI spread. The spread is likely to narrow further."
Brent crude for January settlement decreased $2.22 to end the session at $109.39 a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange, the lowest close since Nov. 20. The volume of all futures traded was 5.3 percent above the 100-day average at 4:09 p.m. New York time. The grade settled at $112.62 on Dec. 3, the highest level since Sept. 13.
WTI for January delivery slipped 31 cents, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $97.34 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Volume was 15 percent below the average. The European benchmark's premium to WTI shrank $1.91 to $12.05, the narrowest close since Nov. 11.
German Production
German output declined for a second month in October after a revised 0.7 percent decrease in September. Germany is the world's eighth largest oil-consuming country, according to the Energy Information Administration, the statistical arm of the U.S. Energy Department. The U.S. is first.
"There has been optimism about both the American and European economies, but these German numbers are raising concern," said Bill O'Grady, chief market strategist at Confluence Investment Management in St. Louis, which oversees $1.4 billion. "The Brent-WTI issue has almost become the most important issue in the market."
WTI surged 5.3 percent last week and the WTI-Brent spread tightened after U.S. crude inventories declined for the first time in 11 weeks and TransCanada announced plans to start part of its Keystone pipeline to the Gulf Coast from Cushing, Oklahoma, the delivery point for the Nymex futures.
Supplies fell 5.59 million barrels to 385.8 million in the week ended Nov. 28, the EIA said Dec. 4. Refineries operated at 92.4 percent of capacity, the most since September. Utilization rates usually pick up in December after maintenance is performed during the lull in fuel use between the summer driving and the winter heating periods.
Keystone XL
TransCanada began injecting oil into the southern portion of the Keystone pipeline on Dec. 7, Shawn Howard, a spokesman based in Calgary, said in an e-mailed statement. The company will inject 3 million barrels in coming weeks, he said.
The company estimates it will begin taking receipts and delivering oil via the line in mid- to late January, a bulletin showed. The link ending at Port Arthur, Texas, will have a capacity of 700,000 barrels a day.
"Keystone is why the Brent-WTI spread is narrowing," said Rich Ilczyszyn, chief market strategist and founder of commodities trading firm Iitrader.com in Chicago. "It will probably move below $10 soon. Brent is a little overbought."
Hedge funds boosted bullish bets on WTI in the week ended Dec. 3 by the most since July as economic growth accelerated in the U.S. Money managers increased net-long positions, or wagers on rising prices, by 7.8 percent to 246,661 futures and options combined, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show on Dec. 9.
North Sea
Daily exports of 11 main grades of North Sea crude for loading in January will increase by 3.4 percent, according to loading programs obtained by Bloomberg.
Shipments of Brent, Forties, Oseberg, Ekofisk, Statfjord, Gullfaks, Alvheim, Aasgard, DUC, Grane and Troll blends will total about 64.1 million barrels, or about 2.07 million barrels a day. That compares with about 2 million barrels in revised data for December.
"The North Sea production is coming back and it should put more supplies in the marketplace," said Phil Flynn, senior market analyst at the Price Futures Group in Chicago. "That's going to pressure Brent. The Brent-WTI spread continues to come in."
Implied volatility for at-the-money WTI options expiring in February was 16.2 percent, little changed from 16.1 percent on Dec. 6, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Electronic trading volume on the Nymex was 435,931 contracts as of 4:09 p.m. It totaled 510,791 contracts Dec. 6, 11 percent below the three-month average. Open interest was 1.66 million contracts.

Orange Is the New Orange. Nutritionally, That Is.by Sally Wadyka in Healthy Tips, June 5, 2014
With the new season of the prison drama Orange Is the New Black set to debut this week, it seems like a good time to celebrate all things orange. But that's not necessarily a nod to neon-orange processed food — like crunchy cheese curls — or even prison garb, for that matter. This is about the tasty orange stuff that grows on trees and plants, all of which is uniquely good for us.
"The reality is various types of orange produce are all very similar nutritionally," says Mary Howley Ryan, MS, RDN, owner of Beyond Broccoli Nutritional Counseling, in Jackson, Wyo. "The carotenoids — especially beta-carotene that turns into vitamin A — not only give them their beautiful color but also provide big health benefits." That said, there are literally hundreds of different carotenoid compounds to be found in orange fruits and vegetables, so it pays to try them all.
The antioxidant beta-carotene is found in such plentiful quantities in carrots that it was actually named after the vegetable. This nutrient is also widely studied — research in the Netherlands found that those who had higher levels of carrot intake had significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease. And other compounds called polyacetylenes found in carrots have more recently been shown to inhibit growth of colon cancer cells in mice.

St. Joseph to be included in Eucharistic Prayers
Catholic World News - June 18, 2013
The name of St. Joseph will soon be included in all of the Eucharistic Prayers regularly used in the Latin rite.
The Congregation for Divine Worship has issued a decree calling for the inclusion of St. Joseph in Eucharistic Prayers II, III, and IV. St. Joseph is already mentioned in Eucharistic Prayer I, the Roman Canon, as mandated by Blessed John XXIII.
The decree from the Congregation for Divine Worship, formally dated May 1 (the feast of St. Joseph the Worker), provides the Latin wording for references to St. Joseph, which will follow immediately after mention of the Virgin Mary in the Eucharistic Prayers. The Vatican will soon provide official translations in other languages.
The Vatican decree--signed by Cardinal Antonio Canizares Llovera and Archbishop Arthur Roche, the prefect and secretary of the Congregation, respectively— notes that after Pope John XXIII added the name of St. Joseph to the Roman Canon, there were petitions from the faithful asking that St. Joseph also be named in the other Eucharistic prayers. These petitions, the decree said, had the support of Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis; the latter approved the new mandate.

Booking websites like AirBnB have made it easier to find a cheap place to stay while traveling. It's also easier, however, to book yourself into a bad situation.
In New York City, it's against the law for landlords to lease an apartment in a building with three units or more for less than 30 days to transient visitors. According to state law, even renting out just one unit for a short term stay is considered illegal hotel activity. When the city shuts down an illegal hotel, guests can find themselves on the street.
Apartment owners say the law can be equally vexing. Landlords are subject to fines for running an illegal hotel, and repeat offenders can be charged up to $25,000, as previously reported. [more]

Wall confessions-A A +A
Monday, March 24, 2014
YOU will find them along the highways, in deserted buildings and even in impossible stinky gutters. Have you ever wondered who's behind the burst of imagination in fresh dynamic colors (read: murals) popping up everywhere around the metro?
Others want to sing or dance but Hardchick and Karingkay want to paint. Sprayers in their hands, stains on their skin, the "pseudonymous" tandem is a Cebu-based graffiti duo who can't seem to get enough of the traditional canvas.
With roots in the early '70s, graffiti is an umbrella of ocular art which goes beyond the norms, equating to controversy, which is really sad.
That graffiti is total freedom is Hardchick and Karingkay's dispute. Even if their works get covered up the next day, this passion to paint is an impressive contribution in itself to the progressive art sector down south.
"People keep on seeing new things from us and they'd think, hey, these guys are active, Cebu's art scene must really be alive," they related.
Like most of you, Hardchick and Karingkay observe that opposite to those artworks housed in suave galleries, graffiti is almost a taboo, at least here in the Philippines; synonymous with the youth's decay and all things unhealthy. The pair described an undersized local graffiti scene.
Occasionally, players, even those from overseas, drop by for collaborations. Although conflicts fire up quickly, it's all good; a little rivalry spices things up.
Hardchick, the she and Karingkay, the he, don't tell people their real names, not because they are paranoid, but because anonymity gives them room to project their art. They are scribbling their way through college completion. Ironically, they are not art students. The nearest things they had to art school are cheap watercolors and crayons for some elementary and high school assignments. Their art inclination evolved naturally.
Under the influence of Sever and Nekst of Los Angeles graffiti mob, Mad Society Kings among others, Karingkay strikes mainly on characters, specializing in female portraits in bold outlines and clean details, mostly done in black and white. The simple color combo may have stemmed from the lad not having spare cash to buy paints before. Hardchick, who admires international female graffiti artists Klor of 123Klan and Hera of Herakut, enjoys a mishmash of characters and letters, incorporating cute, colorful and sometimes gritty icons.
Buying paints from their own pockets went on for awhile until something more engaging developed somewhere along the strokes.
"There is no money with graffiti (but there's lots of fun) and we don't go about relying on mom and dad for cash. We can't afford the lifestyle and paint is not cheap," Karingkay was blunt.
In 2008, Karingkay banded with a bunch of original pioneers and founded Blanko Clothing, a school project (named by another friend) turned into a creative sideline for Karingkay and Hardchick, whom officially teamed up circa 2010.
The demographic of followers stretch from tee fans to those who had not the faintest hint of street art. Orders have made it across the board, to the United Kingdom and Japan while a deal is underway in the United States. It's interesting their shirts have been to places they haven't even been to.
Hardchick and Karingkay paint because they want to. Anything good or bad that comes out of it is technically a by-product and is not intentional. They are basically two individuals trying to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, the underground business of painting the town, the rad and responsible way goes on because graffiti is not a crime, alright.

« Influential Chemists, Anyone? |
| Watching DNA Polymerase Do Its Thing »
Posted by Derek
Here's a neat bit of reaction optimization from the Aubé lab at Kansas. Update: left the link out before - sorry!) They're trying to make one of their workhorse reactions, the intramolecular Schmidt, a bit less nasty by cutting down on the amount of acid catalyst. The problem with that is product inhibition: the amide that's formed in the reaction tends to vacuum up any Lewis acid around, so you've typically had to use that reagent in excess, which is not a lot of fun on scale.
By varying a number of conditions, they've found a new catalyst/solvent system that's quite a bit friendlier. I keep meaning to try some of these reactions out (they make some interesting molecular frameworks), and maybe this is my entry into them. But the general problem here is one that every working organic chemist has faced: reactions that, for whatever reason, stop partway through. In this situation, there's at least a reasonably hypothesis why things grind out, and there's always been a less-than-elegant way around it (dump in more Lewis acid).
I'm sure, though, that everyone out there at the bench has had reactions that just. . .stop, for reasons unknown, and can't be pushed forward by addition of more anything. I've always wondered what's going on in those situations (probably a lot of things, from case to case), and they're always a reminder of just how little we sometimes really understand about what's going on inside our reaction flasks. Aggregates or other supramolecular complexes? Solubility problems? Adsorption onto heterogeneous reactants? Getting a handle on these things isn't easy, and most people don't bother doing it, unless they're full-out process chemists in industry.

I heard Dave Collum respond to a question about a stalled LDA reaction that wouldn't respond to the addition of more LDA by saying "That's like saying you have a problem with kids pooping in the pool, and to solve it, you try adding more kids!" I'm not sure if it's completely accurate analogy, but I still like the quote.

Dithionite reductions of nitro groups anyone?
4. jabali on June 12, 2013 11:52 AM writes...
#3: You are right about the dithionite reductions: They either go to completion very quickly or will stall for no apparent reason. But when they work they are great.

I've seen reactions just give up too- I hate it.
I had thought that maybe it was a concentration dependence issue. As the reaction progresses, the concentration of the reagents drops as they are converted to product and, if the reaction rate is extremely sensitive to concentration, the rate will slow down. At the end of the reaction, when there is very little reagent around, the rate has slowed down to the point that the reaction has basically stalled out. At this point, if adding more reagent doesn't help, I would guess that the added reagent doesn't factor into the rate determining step.

I've found that as synthetic chemists a lot of the time we tend to ignore the effects of changing reaction pH. Many pharma-type reactions involve the formation or consumption of amines, and the resulting pH changes that occur during a reaction can have interesting effects upon both reaction rate and selectivity.

Methinks Scott Denmark would eat this paper alive.

That's why there are process chemists that solve these problems.
9. Nick K on June 12, 2013 7:37 PM writes...
I've had a number of cycloadditions which would stop at 30-40% conversion, for no reason I could understand. It wasn't a question of equilibrium as the isolated products did not revert under the reaction conditions. Inexplicable.
10. newnickname on June 13, 2013 3:30 PM writes...
Free radical reactions can terminate or get poisoned. I've had NBS reactions kind of conk out, even with excess NBS; add more, re-initiate, repeat til done.
I've had tin hydride reductions conk out that I would have to titrate to completion by adding more R3SnH and more initiator. One of them needed to be freeze-thaw degassed before each new addition so maybe there was something volatile getting in (O2) or being co-generated (??) in the system.
11. Dave Collum on June 13, 2013 7:11 PM writes...
I, BTW, did say that almost verbatim and did note that the analogy was slightly lacking in content. I get asked this a lot and haven't a clue why some reactions stall. Inhibition by all sorts of occlusion mechanisms is the most obvious, but more reagent should help. You could have something there in trace quantities that plays a role (like copper in your iron catalyst) that gets poisoned. Equilibria are overlooked a lot. I've sensed that physical properties of solutions may play a role. Since we watch reactions pretty carefully, when one stalls we can document that it didn't run out of the obvious reagents...but it still stalls occasionally. Mystery of science (like the yellow in your oils and fur between the layers.)
Former postdoc alerted me to this post. Hi folks.

#10 - Free-radical brominations/halogenations are the worst, esp. with AIBN. I actually think some of them may be super-sensitive to water, because I generally see a lower rate of conking out under super-anhydrous conditions than I do when I'm not as rigorous about keeping the water out.

The Reus-Tarragona Birth Cohort Study of Early Development and Ageing.

- How to Read a Study Record
The recent fall in birth and death rates has led to demographic changes such as low fertility and high life expectancy . The WHO reports the median age of the European population to be the highest in the world and predicts that the proportion of over-60s in will increase from 14% in 2010 to 25% in 2050. There is wide variability in the quality of health and well-being in the ageing population. Longevity with a good quality of life is a consequence of the combination of an individual's genes, nutrition, environment, lifestyle and medical interventions. There is increasing evidence that research into healthy ageing needs to start with early life data to capture all traits and exposures experienced by an individual throughout life. Epigenetic imprinting occurs both in utero and during early postnatal development. Maternal environmental exposures, including nutritional status, may have a permanent effect on the developing foetus by influencing epigenetic profiles and leading to life-long genome adaptation. Numerous reports show that restricted intra-uterine growth due to poor maternal nutrition during pregnancy increases risk in the offspring of developing mental disorders, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease or stroke in later life. To understand the basic mechanisms and interactions through which the ageing phenotype develops, systems involved in key processes of early development must be considered as well as those crucial to health in older persons. The Reus and Tarragona Birth Cohort is a longitudinal study. In the first phase, blood is collected from pregnant women at <12, 15, 24-27 and 34 gestational weeks (GW) and at labor and from the cord. Detailed lifestyle, habits and supplement use data are collected at 20 and 32 gestational weeks and on nutritional habits at <12GW and at birth. Placental vascular function is assessed at 20 and 32 GW by analysis of Doppler waveforms of the uterine arteries. Data on pregnancy evolution and outcome are also recorded. The first phase investigates the association between gene-environment (nutrient and lifestyle habits) interactions and fetal growth and pregnancy outcome. The second phase of the study follows up the children at 7.5 years of age. Growth, exercise and nutritional habits as well as environment and cognitive development are assessed. The aims are to investigate the association between gene-environment interactions associated with healthy development from early pregnancy until 7.5 years of age.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, many are asking themselves, "What can I do to help?" While volunteer efforts and cleanup projects abound, not all of us can pack up the car and head to the affected areas to offer our manual labor. Still, there are other ways to provide relief for those most affected by the storm. How about, for instance, making a few quilts to keep people warm as winter approaches?
I know from personal experience just how comforting such a quilt can be. In 2010, my family lost our home in the Witch Creek Fire that devastated much of Southern California. Among many other donations, we received handmade quilts from all over the country. And while the quilts did keep us warm, their greater purpose was one of comfort. It was reassuring to know that people were thinking of us. It was encouraging to feel that we were being taken care of in some small way. To this day, every time I bundle up with my quilt from Mesa, Arizona, I'm reminded of the generosity, support, and sense of community my family experienced during such a difficult time.
If you're looking to donate a quilt or two to the victims of Sandy, eQuilter (in partnership with Timeless Treasures Fabrics) has made a goal to collect 5,000 quilts. Over the next three months, they will collect quilts in various sizes to send to the areas that were hit hardest by the storm--Rockaways, Long Island, New Jersey, and Staten Island. Don't know what to quilt? Don't worry; the eQuilter and Timeless Treasures websites provide several free patterns for you to choose from. For all of the details you need to get involved and start quilting, visit the project's information page.
In addition, Bumble Beans, Inc. and Basic Housing, Inc. are collecting homemade and store-bought quilts and blankets in any size. They have already donated 100 quilts, and they still need more! For more information about how you can help, visit their website. Here's a sneak peek of their efforts so far:
It doesn't matter whether you make a large quilt or a small one, an intricate quilt or a simple one. What does matter is that you make one! Trust me, your efforts in doing so will truly touch the lives of those affected by Hurricane Sandy. So get quilting, and thank you in advance for your help!
P.S. -- Be sure to check the blog in a few weeks for an update on these relief efforts, complete with more photos! Who knows? You might even see your own donated quilt on here.
we are making 8 more tomorrow morning! God Bless the victims and those working to help repair, return, and restore their lives and homes.
This is a wonderful idea and one that is especially needed, particularly at this time of year. I feel so awful for the folks on the coast. Is there any way Canadian neighbours can help with this project. I am only one, but one is better than none.

The representatives for artist B.B. King has sent a statement to St. Louis' Post-Dispatch in response to a review written by critic Daniel Durchholz of the singer/guitarist's recent show.
Durchholz, along with a number of other area critics, wrote about King being unfocused, rambling and only performing portions of songs over a short show.
King's reps blamed a combination of King's age, a long bus ride to St. Louis and a missed medication for the erratic behavior.
The statement as received by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
B.B. King and his management have become aware of some criticism expressed following his performance at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis, MO on April 4.
This performance was Mr. King's first after a 4 week off time period - and was also preceded by 24-hour/1,600 mile bus trip to Saint Louis from his home in Las Vegas.
To complicate matters further, Mr. King (who is 88 years old) suffers from diabetes - and he mistakenly missed a dose of his prescribed medication on the show day.
The combination of the rigors of the very long drive and high blood sugar due to his medication error resulted in a performance that did not match Mr. King's usual standard of excellence.
Simply put, it was a bad night for one of America's living blues legends ' and Mr. King apologizes and humbly asks for the understanding of his fans.
