The NYU Garden Shop serves the University community and the historic neighborhood of Greenwich Village by designing, installing, and maintaining gardens and containers that welcome people to the Washington Square campus. It aims to foster a sense of unity on our disparate urban campus by creating garden areas and container plantings that will signal to the visitor that NYU is both a part of the city and distinct from the city. It also strives for combining Restoration Ecology with garden design.
One major example of Restoration Ecology on the NYU campus, is the gift of the Class of 2009, a native woodland garden, populated by plant species native to Manhattan before the arrival of European settlers. The designer of the Woodland Garden [pictured right], Darrel G. Morrison, FASLA, made a career of proving that ecological restoration and high aesthetic standards are not mutually exclusive.
"Native plants help evoke a sense of place without the need for expensive and environmentally damaging alternations to the soul," says NYU Sustainable Gardener George Reis. "Using natives requires an understanding of how to create communities of plants similar to those that occur naturally."
Plants are highly susceptible to abiotic stressors, or hazards to plant health that don't involve insect, pests, or pathogens. Abiotic stressors are the reason trees that live in cities have much shorter lifespans than those that live in forests. As a result, gardening in New York City has become more popular in recent years. While it was historically a hobby reserved for the wealthy, gardening is currently the top pastime of United States citizens.

Do heroes deserve the homage we pay them?
Feb 25 2013
—John Wooden
Oscar Pistorius is the latest to join the Fallen Icons league. His story speaks of perseverance, strength, of fighting the odds and rising above adversities. To millions of people, he became an immediate hero. It was a similar story with Lance Armstrong, who having survived and fought cancer became a role model and an epitome of the victory of human spirit for his fans. His confession shattered the faith of all those who admired him. In 2009, Tiger Woods' reputation lay in tatters after his marital infidelity with several women was revealed. Mike Tyson, OJ Simpson, Hansie Cronje, Ben Johnson, Marion Jones; the list just goes on.
Inspiring, incredible, electrifying and illustrious were just a few words once used to describe these athletes. But greed, jealousy, arrogance and many such vices led them into actions that took all that honour and glory away from them forever. Surely it's time to be choosy upon whom we bestow adulation — preferably someone who possesses enduring quality beyond the sport and who doesn't bend or break the rules of the game of life.
The world needs heroes; we all yearn for them. They motivate and inspire us; they help us reach beyond ourselves. They give us hope, they raise our spirits and in celebrating their success, we celebrate the triumph of human spirit and values. They become personal to us. We all have heroes in life that we associate ourselves with on an emotional level. The hearts of many Indians beat with the rhythm of Sachin Tendulkar's performances in cricket; but sometimes the problem is that that we forget that they are humans, just like us. We put them on a pedestal and expect the extraordinary from them. We must remember that we admire them for their achievement in a particular field and must not expect miracles all around. In judging them, we must keep in mind that they are not superhuman, it is we who put them on a pedestal. So while we need to be careful, we also need to be circumspect when they fail at times; they are human after all. The pressure to live up to a certain image can be enormous and sometimes truly challenging.
Then there are many of us who find ourselves on the other side. Whether at the workplace or at home, you become a hero to others because of what you stand for, the way you work and the way you conduct yourself. You achieve professional and material success through years of hard work and people start idolising you. You realise that you have power over people and over how they think and behave. Success is a heady cocktail and you must handle it carefully. It feels great to be admired and respected, but when you reach that position, you owe a moral responsibility to the society at large. Particularly in the age of social media, your life is subject much more to public gaze, than it ever was. People will emulate you in everything that you do. In the words of Bob Dylan, "A hero is someone who understands the responsibility that comes with his freedom." When you become an icon, you need to understand that a huge amount of responsibility is cast upon you to live up to the reputation that gets built around you and you need to conduct yourself with standards that are far higher than for normal people.
"A single lie destroys a whole reputation of integrity."
— Baltasar Gracian
I think the crux lies in integrity. The problem occurs when reality and perception differ; and it can differ because people's expectations of you may be unrealistic. When the world builds a story around you that is not entirely true, but the perception is so intoxicating that you want to hold on to it. You don't want to break the myth. Lance Armstrong said in his confession, "The story was so perfect for so long and almost impossible to live up to...I wanted to be that guy everyone believed in, by any means available."
Because the world needs heroes, it is natural for people to fabricate your story, the proliferating media needs stories and you may become their fodder. However, it is up to you to ensure that the story reflects the reality. Many people get caught in the trap of starting to believe in their own infallibility and greatness. When your own image ensnares and fascinates you, you become like Narcissus, the Greek god who fell in love with his own image and died pining for that love to be returned. The differences between right and wrong disappear and you will do anything to hold on to that image. The only insurance against this is to close the gap between perception and reality. Truth has strange ways of revealing itself and you have to take care not to propagate a fable that is untrue. If you have self-belief in your own reality, the world will accept you and admire you for what you are; and that is the greatest compliment anyone can give you.
"The characteristic of genuine heroism is its persistency. All men have wandering impulses, fits and starts of generosity. But when you have resolved to be great, abide by yourself, and do not weakly try to reconcile yourself with the world. The heroic cannot be the common nor the common the heroic."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
(The writer is CEO of KPMG India)

Headlines We Hope to See on Deadline Day
For the past number of years, Deadline Day has been a pretty major snooze, and 2013 doesn't look any better. The salary cap has made it more difficult to pull off major trades, and greater league parity combined with a shorter season means there are fewer "sellers" this season. Keeping in mind that two of the biggest players (Iginla and Jagr) have already been dealt, the result is a trade deadline day that will be like watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory. Sure, you'll have it on in the background, and it might catch your interest every once in a while, but for the most part, it's pointless and a lot of filler.
Still, there's a chance that some excitement may take place. The New York Islanders have a strong history of making something ridiculous happen, and there are still a few big names left, so it's possible that we may have some exciting or unexpected stories. In an ideal world, we'd have lots to keep us interested; here are a few headlines that most of us would like to see tomorrow.
Roberto Luongo Traded to… Someone
Or Cory Schneider. Or both. Anything to end this anti-climactic so-called "drama." Mike Gillis says that he is in discussions with four teams about Luongo, which likely means the Leafs and three teams he's making up to make it seem like he's not desperate. Apparently there's more interest and possibly more value in Schneider, which, if the Canucks are receptive to that idea, means that the probability of something happening is greatly increased. If either goalie is traded, two teams will certainly change dramatically. If not, we can look forward to more of the always mature and eloquent "number one and number two" bathroom humour jokes that apparently none of us are above.
Maple Leafs Pick Up Veteran Goalie
The playoffs are always more exciting with the Toronto Maple Leafs in them, and it seems that a veteran goaltender could shore up that possibility. The Leafs currently are in playoff position, but it would be great to watch them add something fairly significant that could help them stick around in the post-season. Sure, we'll miss making jokes about the Leafs going golfing early, but it will be worth it to see Toronto stick around a little longer.
Jay Bouwmeester Gets a Haircut
Seriously, dude, you're making over $6 million a year, there's no need to use a community college student.
Gary Bettman Trades the Phoenix Coyotes…
…to someone who will finally move them to a market that matters and can be successful. Remember when a hockey-mad Canadian billionaire wanted to buy the team and move them to one of the most populated markets in Canada? I do.
What would you like to see happen tomorrow? Will Luongo go anywhere? Am I being too harsh on Bouwmeester's hair? You don't have to answer that third one, because no, I'm not. Comment or Tweet, as per usual.

A Must Read - Share
LONDON (AP) — Britain's education minister says he has not killed a mockingbird, but many literature-lovers don't believe him.
Michael Gove has outraged some readers and academics with his campaign to put the basics — and Britishness — back into schools. Longtime American favorites including John Steinbeck's "Of Mice and Men" and Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird" are off the syllabus for a major high school English qualification under new guidelines that focus almost exclusively on writers from Britain and Ireland.
Some educators fear that could lead to the narrowing of British

How do I specify minOccurence and maxOccurence for the collection(list) in .java file with jaxb annotations?
You can't. JAXB annotations have only a very minimal set of validation abilities.
If you need to perform validation at runtime, you need to use an XML Schema for this. If you need to generate an XML Schema from Java, then you need to alter it after you generate it, to add the various bits of tight validation that you need.

Get My Ancestors
Two weeks ago I helped a friend with her family history. Her grandmother had given her two book of her own research which she had published, with extensive family group charts, photos, and photocopies of documents. My task was to enter the deceased family members into new FamilySearch. It was a few days of fun as I got to know her family better by data entry, combining records, researching, and finally having the family file cards she wanted printed. In the Family History Center on Wednesday I used the free Get My Ancestors software to download 10 generations of her ancestors and their descendants. She had submitted no genealogy to FamilySearch, and I had input fewer than 100 people. I was amazed that there were almost 18,000 deceased family members downloaded. Good job ohanasoftware.com! (Caveat: It only works if you have access to new.familysearch.org, which is not yet available to the general public.)
Wednesday I also updated my Powerpoint presentation on indexing, and I gave the FHC Director a copy last night. She wants to use it to teach a seniors group about indexing. The plan is to use the presentation, followed by having members of the group do the Indexing "Test Drive". The "Test Drive" is really well done.
Last night in the FHC, a patron was seeking for the parents of her ancestor Virtue Hall, born 1843 in Somerset, England. (Apparently her family get a laugh from the fact that she is "seeking virtue".) I was able to help her find Virtue Hall as a young child with siblings and her parents John and Harriott Hall in the 1851 census at findmypast.co.uk. She was delighted!
Promoting Family History in an LDS Ward
The Director and I also met with a group of three people from a new congregation, who wanted to know what they could do to to promote family history. We discussed some ideas, including the Administrative Guide to Family History, and how the FHC can be a useful resource. I also mentioned the success that Parkland Ward is having with the new LDS family history course, and assigning family history consultants to help the class members. Knowledgeable and motivated family history consultants are the key to making things happen on the ward level. At the FHC level, the same is true. With knowledgeable and motivated staff, you are ready to help others to find joy and success in family history!

Bangladesh Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey 2006
Road to Progress
Survey Type
Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey - Round 3 [hh/mics-3]
Series Information
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey, Round 3 (MICS3) is the third round of MICS surveys, previously conducted around 1995 (MICS1) and 2000 (MICS2). Many questions and indicators are consistent and compatible with the prior round of MICS (MICS2) but less so with MICS1, although there have been a number of changes in definition of indicators between rounds. Details can be found by reviewing the indicator definitions.
Version Description
Version 1.0: edited data used for final report
Production Date
The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) is a household survey programme developed by UNICEF to assist countries in filling data gaps for monitoring human development in general and the situation of children and women in particular. MICS is capable of producing statistically sound, internationally comparable estimates of social indicators. The current round of MICS is focused on providing a monitoring tool for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the World Fit for Children (WFFC), as well as for other major international commitments, such as the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS) on HIV/AIDS and the Abuja targets for malaria. Survey Objectives The 2006 Bangladesh Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey has the following objectives: · To provide up-to-date information for assessing the situation of children and women in Bangladesh; · To furnish data needed for monitoring progress toward goals established by the Millennium Development Goals, the goals of A World Fit For Children (WFFC), and other internationally agreed upon goals, as a basis for future action; · To contribute to the improvement of data and monitoring systems in Bangladesh and to strengthen technical expertise in the design, implementation, and analysis of such systems. Survey Content MICS questionnaires are designed in a modular fashion that can be easily customized to the needs of a country.

Firefighters have isolated a fuel leak following a collision between two trucks on the Monaro Highway that left two men injured.
Two male drivers were treated for minor injuries and have been taken to hospital by intensive care paramedics, following the crash near Tralee Street at Hume about 12pm today.
ACT Fire and Rescue and the HAZMAT unit worked for several hours to isolate the fuel leak from one of the trucks, and a bobcat was used to build a levee to contain any fuel run off.

Survey Roundup: Rogue IT Activity, Consumer Fears
A look at some recent surveys and reports dealing with risk and compliance issues. Send surveys and reports to email@example.com.
A survey of IT professionals by auditing software company Netwrix found 57% of the 577 respondents said they have made undocumented changes to their IT systems that no one else knows about. Key study findings show 65% have made changes that caused services to stop, 52% make changes that impact system downtime daily or weekly and 39% have made a change that was the root cause of a security breach.
A survey of 1,000 U.S. consumers by research firm GfK found 60% of respondents said concern about their personal data protection has risen in the last 12 months. One-third of consumers said they have been subjected to online fraud, less than 40% trust "marketers and advertisers," "international business" and "online social networks" with their personal data, while 68% or more trust "hospitals and healthcare providers," "online payment systems" and "online retailers" with their personal data.
A survey of information and communications technology decision-makers in large companies in France, Germany, Hong Kong, U.S. and U.K. found 88% said they are changing their cloud buying behavior because of the revelations about NSA surveillance made public by Edward Snowden. It found 31% are moving data to locations where the business knows it will be safe, and 62% of those not currently using cloud feel the revelations have prevented them from moving data into the cloud.
A report on how to plan and prepare for a crisis by law firm King & Spalding looks at some key questions companies need to consider when preparing their crisis-response plan. Among the questions: What constitutes a crisis? How does an organization prepare for one, and is it even possible to do that? And what is the board's role in crisis management?
A PwC report analyzing 100 large companies with clawback provisions from 2009 through 2012 found 92 allowed a clawback following a restatement. Of those, about three-fourths require proof the employee caused or contributed to the incorrect financial reports. The report found 84 companies said misconduct was a trigger to spur a clawback, 44 cited fraud and 16 said negligence.
A survey of SQL injection threats by database security analysis company DB Networks Ponemon Institute found 65% of respondents had experienced SQL injection attacks that successfully evaded their perimeter defenses in the past 12 months. Each SQL injection breach took an average of nearly 140 days to discover and required an additional 68 days on average to remediate, the survey found.
The effects vendor resiliency, or lack thereof, can have on an organization's business continuity strategy are the subject of a report from PwC US. The report finds reliance on third parties is gaining momentum, and if companies lack insight into their critical vendors' resiliency and recovery capabilities, they run the risk of their own strategic goals being derailed.
A survey of company executives in various industries by IT security company KnowBe4 found while 63% of respondents say they consider regulatory compliance to be "very important" only 13% are very satisfied with the current methods they use. The survey found typically 19% of compliance and audit time each year is spent on tracking requirements, and another 31% on gathering and maintaining audit evidence.
Compliance regulators issued 165 enforcement actions against community banking institutions in the first quarter of 2014, a 23% increase from the fourth quarter of 2013. The Banking Compliance Index by compliance management systems company Continuity Control found the average community bank needed the equivalent of 1.69 extra full-time employees and spent an additional $37,621 to cope with just the extra regulatory load.
A survey of 400 in-house lawyers found about 20% of responders said their companies faced a regulatory/investigation matter in 2013, up from 9% in 2012, according to the latest litigation trends survey by law firm Norton Rose Fulbright. About 52% of responders said their companies are spending more time on investigative requests and proceedings than in years past, up from 43% in 2012 and 40% in 2011.
Correction: The law firm King & Spalding was misspelled in a previous version of this post.

To be fair to Dovi, he's riding well and consistantly beating Hayden in races (where have we seen that before?) But the Ducati is as far up the sharp end as its going to get barring someone doing something stupid in front of him or mechanical failure. Yes it is different from anything he's ridden before, everything else corners.

Babies head and stomach measuring small, anyone else experience this?
I am currently 34 weeks pregnant and my babys head and stomach are both measuring about 2.5 weeks behind but his femur is measuring a week ahead. I am concerned that something is wrong and that he may possibly have a syndrome of some sort. The ultrasound tech also thinks that he may have an extra digit on his left foot. I also have complete placenta previa... Has anyone else had measurments similar to this? What was the outcome?

Hi! Everything turned out great! Baby was born 4.27.12 and he's perfectly normal and healthy. He had measured 11 days behind but then caught up. If all your tests, etc look good then you're good! All of mine were normal too- he was 6 lbs, 10 oz which is considered average but small compared to babies who weigh 8-10 pounds. I went every week from the 7th month on and they watched him too but like I said, he's great! (I still think they had my due date wrong and my peadatrician agreed)?My only piece of advice is try to relax and enjoy this time. I am realizing how much time I lose worrying and missing out. Much love and luck to you! Message me if you need to!posted 08/01/2012 by MommieRo

The show was choreographed and staged like nothing ever before and featured a multitude of musicians, the Hawaiian Islands, the appreciative and excited audience, and of course, The King Of Rock And Roll - Elvis Presley. The multi-platinum Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite set also was a blockbuster as it hit the top number one spot on the charts in 1973, making this one of the biggest albums of his career as well as one of the most revered live concert albums of all time proving once again Elvis Presley's career was unlike any other in music history. This live master piece takes off with the Memphis blues rocker See See Rider and his huge seventies hit Burning Love. He follows these up with his tip of the hat to his friends The Beatles with the soulful balladry of Something. More of Elvis' own favorites follow with the Hank Williams' ballad I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and his rockin' interpretation of Chuck Berry's classic Johnny B. Goode. The album also features a nice helping of solid Elvis top chart hits like Blue Suede Shoes, Hound Dog, A Big Hunk Of Love and his smash single interpretation of James Taylor's Steamroller Blues. As a tribute to his Hawaii audience, the ever thoughtful King Of Rock And Roll closed the show with his masterpiece Can't Help Falling In Love from his film Blue Hawaii. In total, the album showcases a very historic Elvis Presley performance which has truly gone onto become the definitive live concert album in his amazing catalog of hit gold and platinum recordings.

Police ask for assistance in New Paris robbery investigation
Police say a man carrying a gun entered the Red D Mart Saturday morning, July 19, demanding money.
NEW PARIS — The Elkhart County Sheriff's Department is asking the community for help with information related to an armed robbery at a New Paris store.

We didn't always have a multitude of channels just a click of a button away. Yossi Nahmias recaps the birth of Israeli television
Yossi Nahmias
Published: 04.29.08, 07:30 / Israel News
Yossi Nahmias
The process of introducing the televised broadcast in Israel would
have made any thriller-lover delighted, done partly in stealth, partly as a named mission, as if it was an undercover operation in the days of the British Mandate in Palestine.
Almost 20 years passed from the day Israel was established to the first broadcast by Israel's Educational Television. Two decades in which the young nation leaped forward, drying swamplands, building cities, instating governmental bureaus and bringing immigrants to their homeland, but when it came to instating television broadcasts – nothing. Nada. Zilch.
Israel was left far behind, trailing not only after the world's richest countries, but behind it neighbors. It was like then-Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion was doing all he could to prevent progress, all while his closest advisors were trying to come up with a way to sugarcoat the pill, to make him see the proverbial light.
In the early 1950s, in the midst of heated discussions for and against television in Israel, the powers at be realized that in the absence of televised broadcasts, Israel was losing hold of a potential strategic asset in the fight for public opinion in the Middle East and around the world.
Then-IDF Chief of Staff Yigael Yadin began exploring the possibility of forming a military television station. Israeli intelligence recognized the medium's potential in reaching the Arab Israeli sector and wanted to utilize it to the nation's advantage.

The real change came in the early 1960s: The number of TV sets in the country was still minor, but as more and more rooftops started sprouting antennas, there was no longer a point in deferring the issue.
In 1962 Ben-Gurion finally warmed up to the idea of instating the Educational Television: The Rothschild Foundation agreed to fund small-scaled broadcasts for the school system. The network, stipulated the foundation, was not to broadcast news, commercials or entertainment content.
Ironically enough, even before the nature of Israeli television was determined as "educational", "military", or "general", before even one program went on the air, the government already began going after "Television owners that were avoiding paying the television tax." The government decided to tax television sets with an annual 50-Israel pound fee and Inspectors were sent to locate rebellious TV owners, who were facing criminal charges if they did not pay up.
The revenues from the TV tax were said to be funneled towards building the Israeli Television's facilities and training its personnel.
The real felon, however, proved to be the government, which tried imposing an illegal tax on the citizens, since if it didn't provide television broadcasts, how could it charge taxes for them?
In January of 1966, the Israeli Educational Television began its trial broadcast. The first official broadcast was expected to go on the air on March 24 – broadcasting a math lesson. The entire country seemed to be holding its breath in anticipation.

A year on, and the Educational Television was nearly nationalized in favor of the Six Day War effort. Eventually, and while the preparations for launching emergency broadcast were speedily underway, the war ended.

Cameroon: Akano embarks on pacification trip
The head coach of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, Jean Paul Akono, took off for Europe yesterday night to meet with some lead players of the team in a bid to restore peace within the national team.
During this two-day trip, Akano shall have talks with Stephan Mbia, Elexandre Song, Nicolas Nkoulou, Idris Carlos Kameni and Jean II Makoun. He shall also watch the matches of some of 40 preselected players for the do or die encounter against Cape Verde in the return leg of the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifier.
The tough part of Akano's excursion shall certainly be his meeting with Alexender Song, and Stephan Mbia who have shown strong opposition to Eto'o since the 2010 World Cup. To restore peace in "Lions' Den", Akano might have to explain to these players why it was necessary to implore Eto'o to join the team after he rejected it two weeks ago when called up for the match against Cape Verde.

Meridian, Miss. The speaker of the Mississippi House was the featured guest for Business Before Hours Tuesday in Meridian.
Rep. Philip Gunn of Clinton has spoken out about his party needing to unify in the wake of a divisive U.S. Senate primary.
Gunn says he has been out-of-town since Chris McDaniel took the next step and filed a court challenge of his loss to Thad Cochran.
"I haven't really kept up with where it stands in the court system," said Gunn. "But I have full confidence the court is going to deal with the evidence and it'll turn out the way it turns out."
Gunn has previously said the GOP should unite and focus on the real enemies of out-of-control spending, government dependency, poor education, and attacks on religious freedom, rather than each other.

Graduates as Active Global Citizens
PC's History Department Prepares Students to be Active Global Citizens
A liberal arts education creates an environment which cultivates in its students the ideal of service to the less fortunate. Learning to think about the experiences, languages, cultures, and history of others allows the liberal arts student to consider how their innate and learned skills can be used for the benefit of people around the world and, by extension, the whole of society.
The History Department at PC offers students an educational experience that places them in the middle of an engaging global-based curriculum. The desired outcome of this journey is the development of active global citizens.
"History students learn about peoples from many different eras, cultures, and experiences," said Dr. Richard R. Heiser, Professor of History. "For them to put that knowledge to work in ways that help others is one of the types of application of knowledge we seek for them."
As another academic year winds down, the results of years of hard work and critical thinking can be seen in three history majors preparing to graduate and make a difference in the world.
Here are their stories:
Taylor Warner '13
Taylor Warner was drawn to PC because of the feeling of community and the service aspect of the school. Her experience at PC was one filled with service opportunities locally and abroad, and this commitment to service combined with education has defined her.
"The PC experience with smaller classes and professors who serve as mentors and role models has meant so much to me," Taylor said. "The liberal arts approach to learning has broadened my perspective greatly."
Taylor has been busy completing coursework for her triple major (History, Political Science and International Studies) and a double minor (Psychology and Chinese Studies). During her time as a PC student, Taylor has participated in a number of study abroad programs, spending time in Egypt, Wales and China.
Taylor's passion for service, combined with PC's motto, "While we live, we serve," led her to be very active in PC's Student Volunteer Services program. She also leads the Big Brother/Big Sister program at Thornwell and works with PC-V, a campus campaign to raise awareness about violence against women in the U.S and abroad. Taylor's commitment to service was acknowledged during the Honors Day Convocation as she received the Jack and Jane Presseau Community Service Award for 2013.
"The approach to learning at PC is wonderful," Taylor said. "It allowed me to use the experiences from my extracurricular activities in the classroom, deepening the learning experience."
After graduation, Taylor will move to Phoenix, Arizona to become a teacher with Teach for America. She looks forward to helping students rise above challenging conditions to learn and experience new opportunities.
Patrick Kennedy '13
Patrick Kennedy's parents became Mission Service Corps volunteers when he was five years old. They moved several times during the remainder of his youth before he came to Presbyterian College. Patrick is completing a triple major in History, International Studies, and Spanish, with a minor in English.
The influence of his parents' vocation, combined with his study abroad experience during his sophomore year, have led Patrick to join the Peace Corps. After graduation, Patrick will be preparing for his new position as a Youth Promoter in Guatemala.
"My experience at PC and the personalized approach to learning, have prepared me well for my first job with the Peace Corps," Patrick said. "I have received an enormous amount of support from faculty and students, including two PC alums, Lacy Feigh and Amanda Sutker, who are currently working for the Corps in Ethiopia."
Patrick and Taylor have also signed up to participate in the Coverdell World Wise Schools program. The program will allow them to collaborate and introduce their students to different cultures and experiences.
Patrick received the Outstanding Senior Award for 2013 and was named the Outstanding Senior for the History and Spanish Departments for 2013.
Eric Blake '13
Eric Blake chose to attend PC because of the strong commitment to service and his positive impression of the faculty when he visited campus.
"The History Department in particular struck me as a very strong community of faculty and students working together," Eric said.
A double major in history and political science, Eric has found the PC experience to be a strong personal growth experience, combining academic and intellectual learning.
"I certainly feel well-prepared as I continue my education at the graduate level," he said. "I have made life-long friends with students and professors, relationships that I know will continue in the future."
The PC experience has led Eric to consider a career involving international relations and U.S. foreign policy, using his knowledge of history to address contemporary issues.
After graduation, Eric plans to attend graduate school to earn a Master's degree in International Studies or World Politics before pursuing a career with the U.S. Department of State or in the U.S. intelligence Community.
Blake was named the Outstanding Senior for the Political Science Department for 2013.

The US president has announced a $300-billion package for improving transportation infrastructure in the country. This would significantly reduce the cost of delay estimated to be $40 billion annually in shipments of cargo, passenger travel. It will also raise safety and productivity in logistics. The stimulus package in the form of fresh investment would be implemented against the backdrop of current interest rate of 2.5%, unemployment level of 6.1% and current account balance of (-) $406 billion (2.3% of GDP). For raising the fund, Barack Obama has hinted at tough measures.
The US steel industry is enthusiastic about the development as this massive government procurement in building of roads, rail, shipping and airways with foreign content rule in vogue, would lead to significant rise in indigenous demand for steel. Further, the tariff protection through a spate of anti-dumping, countervailing measures has already shut the US market to a good number of steel exporting countries like China, Korea, Japan, Turkey, Russia and India.
In addition, the US transportation department annou-nced a 2-year phase out of the older and weaker legacy Track Cars, which means about 2,28,000 track cars would either be replaced or retrofitted to meet the new standards. It has also advised the US Association of Structural Engineers to find out structurally deficient bridges and suggest best methods of construction of these bridges, including ROBs.
This is a classic example of the government joining hands with the industry to solve the problem of bridge safety. In India, the crumbling of flyovers or damages in base structure prompt the government to reconstruct them but the steel industry, unlike the US, does not feel the urge to convince the government to opt for steel concrete composite bridges.
A study from the Netherlands has revealed that steel is more than twice as sustainable as other construction material and therefore should become a critical factor in selecting construction material.
As steel is more recyclable compared to its competing materials, it should always be preferred in large constructions, especially from the point of view of conservation of materials, resources and environment. We need a nationwide campaign for promoting use of steel in construction and building infrastructure. Simultaneously, designers, architects, construction companies and material purchasers need to be assured of timely supply of the nominated profiles at competitive prices.

BERKELEY - California punter Bryan Anger earned his second Freshman All-America notice, this time by Sporting News, on Tuesday. Anger was also selected as a Freshman All-American by College Football News.
In his first year as Cal's punter, Anger quickly established himself as one of the best as his position in the country. The redshirt freshman from Camarillo was named second-team All-Pac-10 and was the only freshman and Pac-10 player to be named a semifinalist for the Ray Guy Award.
Anger was named the Pac-10 Special Teams Player of the Week Oct. 6 when he averaged 47.4 yards on seven punts and placed three kicks inside the 20-yard-line vs. Arizona State. He set a school single-game record when he averaged 60.2 ypp on four punts vs. Stanford, including two of the five longest punts in school history - a 76-yarder on his first boot (No. 4) and a 75-yarder on his second (No. 5). He is the owner of the three longest punts in the Pac-10 this year, while 25 of his 66 punts have landed inside the opponent 20 and has 15 50-yard punts on the year. His 43.7 ypp ranks fourth on the Cal season list and named Cal's most valuable freshman.
Cal will be in action in the Emerald Bowl vs. Miami on Dec. 27 at 5 p.m. at AT&T Park in San Francisco. The Bears completed the regular season with an 8-4 overall record and a 6-3 mark in the Pac-10.

Woah! This is so awesome. I always wanted to do indoor sky diving. And I still what do it! First though I would makes sure that my stomach is empty and didn't drink too much coffee before stepping in to the sky diving simulator. I know I wouldn't be that elegant as the professionals in the video. And there would be more terror screeches from my mouth than anything else but I would still have a blast. And I mastered my "moves" indoor I would give the real deal a try.

One tip, on my commuter I use MTB clips and shoes, on my road bike I use look pedals and road shoes. I find it to be safer/easier to commute on MTB pedals in traffic.
The soreness goes away with time, my recommendation is to gradually add miles, but a good seat is paramount. I took a week of recently (product of weekend trip and a cold) and my first ride was 75 miler. Boy was I hurting at the halfway point! Just one week out of the saddle and my "sit bones" had gotten soft.

Russian journalists focus on local German culture
RUSSIAN PUBLIC TV reporter Olga Somkina and her cameraman Denis Rusakov visit the Vereins Kirche during their time spent in town learning about German life in Fredericksburg. The two work at a TV station in Vladivostok in southeastern Russia. — Standard-Radio Post/Richard Zowie
By Richard Zowie —
On Thursday, Nov. 21, television journalist Olga Somkina spent time in Fredericksburg exploring the German culture and asking residents questions.
Her cameraman was Denis Rusakov.
And when Somkina or Rusakov needed to ask residents any questions, because neither of them can speak English, Dimitriy Motovilov was there to perevodit' (to translate).
If the surnames Somkina, Rusakov and Motovilov sound exotic, that's because the three are from a town over 6,000 miles from Fredericksburg.
Vladivostok, Russia, to be exact.
The three were in town to film interviews and segments for a documentary on various ethnic groups moving to America and how they do at preserving their language, customs, foods and cultures.
They work for OTV-PRIM. A Russian acronym, this translates into English as Public Television of Prim.
Prim is short for Primorsky (or Primorye) Krai. In Russian, a "krai" is a regional administrative division in Russia, in which Vladivostok is located.

I have a Surly/MavicMA3 basic fixed rear wheel and a 1980's 27" front wheel on my conversion with 3500miles on it.
I know a 700c will fit (brake reach OK)
Should I just do the easy no brainer and just get the matching Surly/Mavic front wheel?
Or can I do better at about the same or slightly higher price.
Someday this new front wheel will be on my next fixed (for road) and the 27" will go back on this conversion.
I don't care about style, just functionality and performance is good too where real, not perceived.

I think Ebay is a gamble- I've had positive and negative experiences buying there over the years (mostly positive). I think it may be more of a gamble trying to buy bicycles if one does not have a lot of experience.

You're right, Lucille. Those with experience, a keen eye, and patience...they win out on eBay, at least as buyers. You have to be able to find what you want with disguised in poorly described and photographed items. Craigslist offers better opportunities to find bargains, though.
I tell folks that I wouldn't have the bike that I have if it wasn't for the internet.
I heard about the Xtracycle Free Radical online. I decided that I wanted one. I bought my donor bike at the LBS.
Just about everything on it, I got online, a lot of it from ebay, because some of the things I wanted, they don't make anymore. For example the Shimano Fingertip shifters, vintage Cannondale panniers and handlebar bag, and the Grunge Guard derailleur boots.
I usually also get my upgrade/replacement parts on the bay as well. I would get them from the LBS except for the fact that almost everything I have wanted to get, the LBS has had to order. I found that I could order it online/ebay and get it just as fast or faster.
The thing with online shopping, is you have to know about what you want, as well as what you want.

I mostly buy new stuff on ebay. Many vendors ship USPS Priority so it gets to me in 2-3 days if I need something quickly.
The used stuff tends to get bid up to within 10-20% of discounted new prices IME so it's rarely worth the effort. I'm actually shocked by how much some sellers/stores seem to think their stuff is worth. You really need to shop around the internet to find the best prices on stuff. I would never buy a complete bike that I couldn't see in person first.

I have bought bikes on domestic eBay as well as on eBay.it, eBay.at (Austria), and eBay.uk. Never had a problem.
I've gotten a few good deals on complete bicycles on Ebay.
I filter the search for distance from my zip code because I want to pick the bike up in person for a couple of reasons. First, I don't want to spend on shipping which adds quite a bit on a bike. Next, I get to examine the bike in the presence of the seller, so if there is a dispute about the condition we can settle between us. So far, that hasn't been a problem.
I also snipe bid. I will only bid in the last 15 seconds of an auction so that I don't have somebody else bid me up, and if I get outbid I stay committed to my maximum bid (no time to bid again).
If lack of knowledge about a bike and its value is a problem, a few questions here in the forums or an archive search can get you the knowledge you need before the auction ends.
Second, make your final (serious) bid during the last few seconds of an auction so as to defeat shill bidders and prevent fuel for tit for tat bidding wars. If you do think you are bidding against a shill, bid an increment like $99.99 in the last second. This will very well result in the shill winnng their own auction and having to pay a bunch of auction fees. Never accept any "second chance" offers.
Never bid in even dollar increments, and do not bid in predictable increments.
Lately, my Ebay activity coming in from the US has pretty much dried up due to the International Shipping program. Basically, a high so-called "Import Fee" is being tacked on to most auctions. Since I have never paid an "Import Fee" on bike stuff coming into Canada, I am not clear as to who is collecting this auction-killing expense or why. Sellers should be asking the same question.
There are still great deals to be had from Europe and especially China. Plus the shipping is a lot lot lower from China to Canada (usually free!) than from the US. I can see the border from my house, so it seems strange that it costs multiples to ship 20 miles than 10,000 miles.
Shipping by USPS is still reasonably priced - God help you if the couriers deliver your package. Horrible service including losses, damage, and extortionist delivery fees.
Finally, Ebay is a great venue for getting replacement parts that shops cannot or will not stock. I am tired of the usual line that 9-speed stuff is obsolete and unattainable and I therefore need a new bike.
I've had good experience on Ebay with motorcycle & bicycle parts. The few less-than-favorable episodes were mostly me being ignorant, assuming, and not asking questions. It's hard not get caught up in the the thrill of bidding, but most of what I want will show up again next week. Don't blow past your maximum bid for no good reason.
Pronounced "Murkle"
Only real issues I've had buying bikes on eBay has been damage during shipping. Awhile back I got a NOS Schwinn F1 racer,but the seller didn't pack it right and in addition to scratches,the fork got bent. I let the seller off with a partial refund,but now that I've seen what a PITA it is to find a proper replacement,I should've made him take it back. So if you buy a bike and the shipping is dirt cheap,be prepared for it to be messed up when it arrives at your door.

I have purchased 5 frames on Ebay. No problems but I have been a bike mechanic decades ago. I have gotten some a couple of bad parts on ebay but out of 100 purchases, that not too bad. When getting components online you need to know what you are getting and need to know if it is compatible.with the other components.
A couple of years ago I was upgrading my touring bike to get lower gearing, I needed to get a new rear derailleur that had a larger capacity, but I had 105 brifters that were 10 speed but the shimano 10 speed mountain bike derailieur has a different cable pull. After getting a lot of great information from Bike forums, I purchased the cassette and RD, it all worked perfectly. I discussed this setup with many LBS but they had no idea if it would work.
So, make sure that you know the parts that you are getting online are compatible.
I don't do vintage, I bought them new, rode them, kept them. Now they are just old bikes
At the end of summer, I ran into a cycling acquaintence who had replaced the chain on his early 1990s Trek 520, Uniglide equiped indexed 3 x 7 tourer with Biopace. He was having irritating skipping/slipping due to chainring and cog wear. He's a bit of a masher, despite having a pretty wide range of gears.
Long story short - a bike shop told him that there wasn't a way to correct his 3 x 7, and that it was too expensive, and that he should modernize the drivetrain if he wants to keep the Trek. I looked at it and told him in 2 minutes that we could replace two chainrings, the uniglide with a hyperglide freehub and the cassette for minimal cost.
eBay to the rescue. Truth be told, I didn't advise paying for the Biopace chainrings, which sell at a premium. Total parts cost (two chainrings, freehub, 13-28T hyperglide cassette, cables) was about $110. Once parts arrived, it was maybe a 90-minute fix. I charged him $50 in labor, but he gave me $100 in gratitude. The drivetrain is terrific now. He took it on separate multi day tours of the Carolinas and Virginia during the fall.
Could this have been done on Amazon rather than eBay? Sure, but the chainrings would've cost more, as would the cassette.
Buying something sight unseen remotely from an individual you don't know and never met is a risk, via eBay or otherwise. Prices are lower to reflect that, but in the end the buyer needs to decide if they're comfortable with it.
