Dr. Ray Anderson, newly retired from the Iowa Geological Survey, will present information to the Winneshiek Board of Supervisors on the potential for metallic mineral mining in Northeast Iowa next week.
The public is invited to the presentation, which begins at noon in the large courtroom at the Courthouse Monday, Aug. 25.
Last year, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), working with the geological surveys of Iowa and Minnesota, initiated a program to study the "basement complex" -- rocks below sedimentary rocks or sedimentary basins -- of Northeast Iowa and adjacent Minnesota. Researchers were hoping the area could be an "exploration target" for possible platinum group elements (PGE) and related mineralization -- materials of strategic importance to the United States, according to Anderson.
These basement rocks -- about 2,000 feet below the land surface -- are known as the Northeast Iowa Plutonic Complex (NEIPC) and are currently interpreted as a series of iron-rich intrusive rocks associated with the formation of the Midcontinent Rift System.
The study was initiated due to the similarities between interpretations of the geology of the NEIPC and the Duluth Complex in Northeastern Minnesota. Recent industry exploration of the Duluth Complex has led to the discovery of extremely valuable PGE resources in those rocks, leading to the suggestion of similar mineralization in the Iowa rocks, Anderson said.
Aerial data
The initial phase of the Iowa exploration involved analysis of limited drill data, including an exploration core drilled by New Jersey Zinc in 1961 near Osborne in Clayton County and obtaining high resolution aerial gravity gradiometer, aeromagnetic, and aerial electro-magnetic data late 2012 and early 2013 using low altitude helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft platforms over part of Winneshiek County and adjacent areas of Fillmore and Houston counties in Minnesota.
Future plans include the deepening of a water well north of Decorah to obtain additional core samples of the target rocks and the expansion of aerial gravity and magnetic information in the area around the 2012 Winneshiek County survey, Anderson said.
"At Monday's Board of Supervisors' meeting we will outline the geologic history of Northeast Iowa, our current understanding of the NEIPC and compare it with the proven PGE resources in the Duluth Complex. The current USGS research study will be described and the preliminary results discussed, and we will go on to discuss what might be expected from potential future industry exploration in the area and if that is successful how mining operations might develop. Finally, we will try to answer questions about the potential resources and how exploration and extraction operations might affect the county," Anderson said.
Frac sand
Supervisor Dean Thompson said Anderson's presentation would be informative to the supervisors as they consider issues that are part of the county's 18-month moratorium on frac sand mining. The moratorium expires in December.
"What we're looking for in our fact-finding mission of the county is information about potentials for both industrial non-metallic (silica sand) and metallic-mineral mining in our county. Supervisor Dennis Karlsbroten and I invited Dr. Anderson to speak about potentials for metallic mineral mining based on findings of the U.S. Geological Survey's 2013 airborne survey of Northeast Iowa," Thompson said.

A fascinating new portrait of Medieval Britain that brings together the everyday and the extraordinary. Using wide-ranging evidence, Martyn Whittock shines a light on Britain in the Middle Ages, bringing it vividly to life. Thus we glimpse 11th century rural society through a conversation between a ploughman and his master. The life of Dick Whittington illuminates the rise of the urban elite. The stories of Roger 'The Raker' who drowned in his own sewage, a 'merman' imprisoned in Orford Castle, and the sufferings of the Jews of Bristol reveal the extraordinary diversity of medieval society.
Through these characters and events - and using the latest discoveries and research - the dynamic and engaging panorama of medieval England is revealed. Martyn Whittock is Head of Humanities and History at Kingdown School, Warminster. He is a lecturer in local history and has written numerous textbooks for the educational market. He has been a consultant for the BBC, English Heritage, and the National Trust and has written for Medieval History magazine and archaeological journals.

"Loved the Information."
I enjoyed this book. It was just what I was looking for to answer some questions about daily life in the middle ages.
I found the information about the daily life in England before the Norman Conquest really interesting.
His voice was fine, but he tended not to pause or break between sections.
"Back in the dark ages. "
A good history, well written and researched and well read. With each chapter moving smoothly into the next. Well worth the read.
"great book!"
loved the gruesome details of life then, thank goodness i live now! chaucer was interesting.

CROSS Lane in Radcliffe is set to reopen later today, a week after it was closed last Wednesday when a vacant pub's roof collapsed, trapping a 36-year-old man inside.
The road has been closed in both directions between Park Street and Butterworth Street since around 4.30pm on Wednesday (January 29).
A council spokesperson said work was now completed to the structural scaffolding and it was hoped the Cross Lane would partially reopen this afternoon (February 5).
One lane of the road will reopen to traffic this afternoon and is to be managed with temporary traffic lights.
It is believed the man was checking the structure of the building, formerly The George pub, before buying it to turn into four apartments.
He was rescued by police and taken to hospital but his injuries are not thought to be serious.
One woman, a resident of the house adjacent to the pub in Cross Lane, was evacuated from her property but has now been told it is safe to return.
Building contractors are currently in the process of buying the property from the current owners.
Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) have carried out a formal investigation into the incident.
A spokesperson for Bury Council had previously said it was hoped the road would be reopened within 48 hours.
A police spokesman said: "The police attended and cordoned off the area for the safety of the public.
"The man had scans for his injuries but at this time they are not of major concern."
The latest live traffic and travel news is available here.

Namban Chest
mid-17th Century
Lacquered wood , with gold and silver decoration, inlaid with mother-of-pearl, 33 x 56 x 26 cm
Genre: Asian Art, Decorative Arts
Location: Titian Room
Accession Number: F26w6
Isabella Gardner purchased this lacquered wood box in 1906, and displayed it in the Titian Room along the west wall of the gallery, on top of a Venetian commode.
The Namban Chest was constructed from wood that was joined with both tiny wooden dowels and a variety of nails. The wood was then coated with several layers of true Asian lacquer, called urushi. Urushi comes from the sap of the Rhus verniciflua tree, which is native to several parts of Asia. Typically, multiple thin layers of urushi were applied to an object, progressing from coarser ground layers to fine, pigmented upper layers. The mother-of-pearl shell would have been adhered to the box surface before the layers of lacquer were brushed wet over the entire box. Once dry, the surface was polished until the shell and lacquer were flush. The silver and gold decoration was created using the hiramaki-e technique where metallic powder is sprinkled onto wet lacquer applied in the design area. The final urushi layers on the Namban Chest would have been polished to a high sheen. The decorative metal hardware appears to be made from a copper-based metal that was gilded.
Urushi is a natural polymer and it is initially extremely durable to heat and many liquids. However, over time lacquer objects can become deteriorated due to light damage. Light damage causes a variety of problems, including water sensitivity, surface cracking on a microscopic level, a loss of gloss, and fading of colors.
The lifting and flaking urushi lacquer was locally humidified as needed to regain flexibility, and then a small amount of dilute isinglass adhesive (a fish glue made from the air bladders of sturgeon fish) was flowed under the unstable lacquer with a small brush. A piece of Mylar with a small weight was placed on top of the consolidated area to provide adequate pressure, while the fish glue dried. A traditional Japanese method of applying pressure using flexible shimbari sticks was used on vertical areas where a weight could not be used (see photo). Detached pieces of mother-of-pearl were reattached using a clear, stable, synthetic acrylic resin. The lacquer surface was cleaned with small amounts of low pH deionized water on a soft cotton knit cloth. This cleaning technique had recently been published by lacquer experts at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. The mother-of-pearl pieces were cleaned with a mild aqueous solution on tiny cotton swabs. The metal hardware was cleaned with an aqueous cleaning solution fortified with a chelating agent on cotton poultices. Once the poultices were removed, the surface was rinsed with deionized water on cotton swabs. Finally, several areas of loss on the front of the chest were sealed with a stable synthetic acrylic resin and then in-painted with acrylic emulsion paints to blend with the surrounding surfaces.
Purchased from Moisè dalla Torre & Co. in Venice, Italy in 1906.

I am facing a problem now after upgrading jQuery to v1.7.1. The following stopped working (and it used to work just fine with jQuery 1.4.2 before the upgrade):
$("#nav a").hover(function()
$(this).stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: "(0px 50px)" }, 175);
$(this).stop().animate({ backgroundPosition: "(0px 100px)" }, 175);
Has anyone come accross this problem, and knows a possible fix it? I assume it's caused by a syntax change but can't figure out what is different now.
Thanks a lot!
Yep, they changed things there from jQuery 1.5 onwards. You'll now need to separate them out in to x and y settings.
For example:
$(this).animate({'background-position-x': '0px', 'background-position-y': '50px'}, 175);
Thanks, Paul, I managed to rework the backgroundPosition into background-position-x and background-position-y settings to be able to use jquery-1.7.1. However, that also broke a slider that I'm using on the same page. The error manager says "curAnim is undefined" and points to the slider script. I did a quick check and noticed that even though jquery 1.4.2 has the curAnim property, it's definitely missing from the latest version of the library. Is there a way to bring it back via extending jquery somehow? I'd very much want to know that since I managed to fix 3 other scripts to be able to use them with the latest jquery, and it's this slider that messes things up...
Thanks again!
What is the slider that you are using?
Hi Paul,
It's the jQuery siteFeature plugin: http://s3.envato.com/files/376136/index.html that I'm trying to fix. It runs on an older version of jQuery and I'm trying to make it work with the latest which does not seem to have the curAnim property defined. Thanks a lot!
First start by using the latest version of sitefeature - the version that it's at is at least 2.7.1, and I see in some places that there is a version at 2.7.5 as well. The one you are currently using seems to be 2.6
I see, I downloaded sitefeature 2.7.1 and looked at the code, there seems to be an instance of "curAnim" among the lines so I guess the problem is there still. Haven't found a version 2.7.5 to see if it's the same there...
Apparently, the use of the curAnim feature relates to the tab arrow background animation which I can definitely live without it if nothing can be done about the lines quoted below, for the sake of bringing the slider back to a working state. Either way, thanks for pointing out a new version of the script available, I'll make sure I'll upgrade to the latest available.
$.fx.step.backgroundPosition = function(a) {
if (!a.bgPosReady) {
var b = $.curCSS(a.elem, 'backgroundPosition');
if (!b) {
b = '0px 0px'
b = toArray(b);
a.start = [b[0], b[2]];
var c = toArray(a.options.curAnim.backgroundPosition);
a.end = [c[0], c[2]];
a.unit = [c[1], c[3]];
a.bgPosReady = true
var d = [];
d[0] = ((a.end[0] - a.start[0]) * a.pos) + a.start[0] + a.unit[0];
d[1] = ((a.end[1] - a.start[1]) * a.pos) + a.start[1] + a.unit[1];
a.elem.style.backgroundPosition = d[0] + ' ' + d[1]
As far as I know, backgroundPosition became "background-position-x" and "background-position-y" in the newer jquery so the problem may be linked to that...
It didn't work. Removing the lines around "curAnim" cause the slider to break after reaching the end tab. It normally should go back to the first tab but it doesn't... So I may need some further help here, please.
About the best advice that I can give from here is that you get in touch with the developer of the plugin.SiteFeature discussion: http://codecanyon.net/item/sitefeature/discussion/53896Makfak's profile: http://codecanyon.net/user/makfakMakfak's website: http://www.makfak.com/
If you cannot convince him to update it for a more recent version of jQuery, you'll have to decide whether to stay with the older version of jQuery, or to find a different plugin that works in the version of jQuery that you want to use.
Thanks, I appreciate your help!

The Search for Yield
This question is often asked: How will my portfolio generate enough income? In an ideal world, the investments held in a portfolio would generate enough income to meet an investor's needs without ever having to touch the principal. Unfortunately, that's not always possible and it's certainly a tall order today. As a result, there may be times when income is generated by taking interest and dividends, and liquidating some portfolio holdings. In this low interest rate environment, the better question to ask is: How much can I withdraw from my portfolio each year without outliving my savings?
Interest rates, portfolio stability, and time frames
Several factors have to be considered to determine how much an investor can withdraw over a sustained period. These include the current interest rate environment, portfolio volatility, and the period of time over which withdrawals may be taken.
Today, the potential returns and risks of income-producing assets run the gamut. Historically-low yields on U.S. treasuries and low yields on high-quality corporate bonds make it difficult to generate enough income to keep pace with inflation. High-yield bonds offer more attractive levels of income, but require investors to take on much greater credit risk. Over the long term that could translate into greater portfolio volatility and potentially less liquidity. Municipal bonds (munis) also have the potential to create greater portfolio risk than many investors realize. Not only are munis selling at premiums of 10% to 15% above their value at maturity, but they also have liquidity, call, and default risk and may be subject to AMT (alternative minimum tax).
Dividend paying stocks
On the equity side of the market, preferred or dividend-paying stocks that pay higher yields relative to bonds may be attractive; however, the yields are not guaranteed. A stock dividend may be cut or eliminated. In addition, a stock price decline, due to quarterly earnings disappointment or other bad news, could result in increased portfolio volatility. And, with any equity, your principal is subject to fluctuation and potential loss.
The investment world is full of risk and return trade-offs. A two percent return in a bond investment may not seem all that attractive, but it may offer less risk than some other investment opportunity offering higher return potential. The only way to build a portfolio with a sustainable long-term withdrawal rate that meets your needs over time is by putting together a comprehensive wealth plan, implementing it, and sticking to it.

We inherited an old blanket from my husband's family. We believe it to be an Indian blanket as it has the whirling logs, etc. It was given to my father-in-law (now deceased and who would have been 81 this year) from his parent's estate. We believe it is pre-WWII but really not sure.
The border appears to be some silk type with some tattering but the blanket overall is in great shape with no tears, rips, etc. It is approx. 67" x 67" in size.

I'm not really sure when it happened. At some point in my life I became hooked on heat. It was probably some gateway drug, over-the-counter stuff like Tabasco. A dash on some eggs, and then on a slice of pizza. I craved new sensations: Sriracha, chile verde, South Indian curries. My growing tolerance drove me to hotter and hotter peppers to chase that pony. Capsaicin truly is an addiction, as irrepressible as heroin, only more delicious.
Sugar tempers the pungency of the peppers' kick, buffering the ability for the chemical to attack the nerve endings. Merging sweet and heat is the ultimate culinary slap and tickle, a velvet glove on capsaicin's cruel hand.
Apples and peppers are fast friends, and complement each other well married together in a sweet-hot jelly. The sweetness of cider (and, uh, several cups of sugar) reduce even fiery habaneros to an almost subtle footnote. Almost. A nice, sharp cheddar is all that's missing.
Apple-Habanero Jelly
6 c. raw apple cider
5 c. sugar
1 packet pectin
2-3 habanero peppers
Put the cider in a large nonreactive pan and set over medium-high heat. Chop the peppers coarsely. Once the cider comes up to a simmer, add the peppers. Steep until you get the desired heat extraction; this should only take a couple of minutes. Strain the cider through cheesecloth (the more layers, the clearer your jelly; I don't mind it a little cloudy), and return to the pan. Turn the heat back on.
Mix the pectin with 1/4 cup of the sugar. Whisk into the cider thoroughly. Bring the cider to a full rolling boil. Add the sugar, stirring well to mix. Bring once again to a full rolling boil for one full minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, and skim away any foam. Ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/8″ of headroom. Process using normal water-bath method.

Hundreds of friends, family and sports acquaintances from across south west Hertfordshire gathered at West Herts Crematorium and afterwards at Kings Langley Cricket Club on Friday, May 16, to celebrate the life of David Percy.
David passed away while playing cricket for his beloved Kings Langley Cricket Club on Saturday, May 3. He was just 50 years old.
David was born to Charles and Vida on the March 19, 1964, in Hayes Middlesex. He had two sisters Karen and Sandra.
It was Charles's decision to take a Youth Officer role at Cassio College Watford that brought the family to Hertfordshire in 1972 when they moved Hunton Bridge.
David attended St Pauls primary school at Langleybury and then went on to Kings Langley School where he formed lifelong friendships and met his wife to be, Tanya.
The couple married 25 years ago this September. They had two children, Cassie and Ben, and the family have always lived in the village.
As well as cricket, Dave was a keen footballer, playing centre forward for many teams including SG Browns, the Old Palace Eagles, The Eagle, Sarratt, Hemel Hempstead, Tring , La Casetta and Kings Langley Cricket Club FC.
David had numerous interests including supporting Watford FC and in recent years, cycling, although, according to friends, it was the "social " side of things that he enjoyed most.
But it is probably cricket that he was best known for. Nicknamed "Percy" or "Perce", he was a one club man starting as a fast bowler and making his debut at a very young age when he travelled with Charles Holroyd and other boys to Ridge Lane to play for Kings Langley's third team .
He quickly worked his way up the sides to become the strike bowler for the first team.
David was a critical part of the Kings Langley winning teams in the Village Trophy in 1998 and the Watford Observer Cup in 2006.
His finest cricketing day was August 25, 1984, when he achieved the rare feat of taking all 10 wickets in a match, 10-21 v Langleybury. The newspaper headline that week was "Pacey Percy's Perfect"
Years of pace bowling eventually took its toll and In later years, he turned to a unique form of bowling which we called "sausage".
His legendary status as a local cricketer is demonstrated by the numerous emails and tweets received from other clubs. All said what a fiercely competitive player he was but that he was a gentleman as well.
On May 3 Dave was bowling and about to win another game for Kings Langley when at 6.38pm, with friends and family looking on, he collapsed and died.
His final figures read 6.1 overs, one maiden, 24 runs and four wickets.
Friend Kevin Rolfe said: "While all his friends and family remain in shock Dave will be loved forever and some small comfort has been drawn from the fact that he was doing what he loved best and where he loved best.
"There will no doubt be many lasting tributes to him but two have already been announced to date.
"The first is that every May Day Bank Holiday, Kings Langley Cricket Club will host the Dave Percy memorial cricket match.
"Secondly, as a permanent immediate reminder on Kings Langley common, the end of the ground next to Vicarage Lane has been renamed the Dave Percy End."
He added: "Dave lived life to the full and the huge numbers of well-wisher's at the funeral was full testament to his personality.
"He has left us with wonderful memories, and he will of course always be loved and will never be forgotten.
"As Dave would have wanted, the celebration at Kings Langley Cricket Club went on well into the night with pictures of Dave and his favourite music to remind us of what a remarkable person he was. "

University Housing Policies
Failure to observe these and all other regulations described in the University Calendar/Student Handbook, the Resident Handbook, the Residence Hall Housing and Dining Agreement, or other documentation may result in disciplinary charges, fees, and/or other actions.
Courtesy and Quiet Hours
Residents have primary responsibility for maintaining reasonable conditions for study and sleep in the University Housing. With this in mind, certain behaviors are prohibited based on their disruptive nature. These include:
- Noise from the residence halls that disturbs classes and/or other normal University activities.
- Speakers playing in or near windows to amplify sound to the outdoors.
- Screaming and/or yelling in hallways, stairwells, outside windows, etc.
- Sports activities in the hallways.
- Slamming doors.
The Office of Housing and Residence Life has established minimum courtesy and quiet hours:
- Courtesy hours are in effect 24 hours a day.
- Quiet hours are from 10 p.m. to 10 a.m., Sunday through Thursday, and Midnight to 10 a.m., Friday and Saturday.
During courtesy hours, students are asked to be considerate of the needs of others at all times and to comply with requests for maintaining a reasonable level of quiet. Ideally, students will continually monitor their own behavior so that confrontations are unnecessary. During quiet hours, noise must be reduced so that sounds cannot be heard more than two doors down the hall, or equivalent distance. In addition, a 24-Hour Quiet Period is in effect prior to and during final examinations. This is designed to provide residents with an atmosphere conducive to preparation for examinations, if they desire to study in the residence halls. The 24-Hour Quiet Period will be active during the Fall and Spring semesters, beginning by the day before the first day of scheduled finals.

Men's Results | Women's Results
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Cold, wind, mud. Not the ideal conditions for the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Cross Country Championships, but it didn't stop University of Pennsylvania cross country runners sophomore Thomas Awad and freshman Cleo Whiting from competing in the race, which was hosted by Indiana State at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, Ind.
Despite the conditions, 31 degrees and 17mph winds, the races began on time with the men's 10K at noon and the women's 6K at 1:15 p.m. Awad crossed the line at 32:01.9 and finished 176 in the pack of 253 runners. Whiting completed the race in 21:54.7 and finished 184 out of 253.
The starting line was moved up about 115 meters due to the mud and lingering ponding on the original start line, so there would be a smaller chance of falling near the start. Therefore, the races were short of the original 10Km and 6Km championship race distances, which converted to a time-equivalent of about 20 seconds.
Though the cross country season has ended, the indoor track season begins after the Thanksgiving holiday on December 6. The teams will compete in the Fast Times Before Finals race at Bethlehem.

Grand complications represent the paragon of horology and challenge the watchmaker to the ultimate degree. This apotheosis of haute horlogerie has been a part of the Patek Philippe heritage since the company was founded in 1839. No other watchmaker has been involved in the highest sphere of horology for such a long time without interruption; no other company has created such an impressive portfolio of complicated watches. With 33 complications, the Calibre 89 was the world's most complicated portable timepiece when it was presented in 1989. Grand complications include intricate mechanisms such as the tourbillon, which compensates variations of the center of gravity of balance springs in vertical positions, and the repeater function, which tells the time acoustically by striking gongs. Split-seconds chronographs also belong to this category, as do perpetual calendars and various astronomical indications including sunrise and sunset displays, and stellar progressions. All these mechanisms are highly complex and correlated with one another in various ways. Often, they are enriched with further refinements such as retrograde displays or instantaneous calendarswitching mechanisms. A Patek Philippe tourbillon consists of 31 parts, yet weighs a mere 0.3 grams. Patek Philippe's minute repeaters draw on a tradition established over 150 years ago. Their sound as they strike the hours, quarter hours, and minutes is considered to be the benchmark of acoustic-time indication. Astronomical watches are another domain in which Patek Philippe has shown unprecedented prowess. The Sky Moon Tourbillon is a prime example: it needs both sides of the watch to accommodate all of its features. But these grand complications are not spectacular, one-off showpieces. They belong to Patek Philippe's established collection and aptly demonstrate the excellent skills the Geneva workshops employs on a daily basis.
Timekeeping instruments that provide functions beyond indicating the time and date are called complicated watches. In Patek Philippe's workshops, this class of timepiece is segmented into complications and grand complications. "Useful" complications offer add-on functions that are user-friendly, such as the legendary Annual Calendar. This ingenious complication "knows" how many days each month has and only needs to be corrected once a year at the end of February. Another compli cation gaining significance in the life of present-day nomads is the time-zone indication as implemented in the Calatrava Travel Time – it simultaneously displays the local time in two different zones. This watch is available in a ladies' version. Patek Philippe's World Time watch goes a step further and displays all 24 time zones at the same time. It is based on a principle devised by the ingenious Genevan watchmaker Louis Cottier in the 1930s and perfected and patented by Patek Philippe in 1999. The mechanism makes it possible for the wearer to switch the watch easily from one time zone to the next without compromising the rate accuracy of the movement. Meanwhile, the moon-phase display enjoys an enduring popularity. This poetic complication indicates the gradual day-to-day progression of the moon's face in a curved dial aperture. But the mechanism behind it is more sophisticated than meets the eye. It is so precise that the display faithfully tracks the true lunation for 122 years and 45 days. Only then must it be corrected by one day. "Useful" compli cations also include different types of chronographs from classic manually wound chronographs with column wheels to innovative self-winding Annual Calendar chronographs with monocounter. All these timepieces are crafted in Patek Philippe's ateliers in Geneva. Many of them are endowed with an Annual Calendar mechanism, a moon-phase display, or a powerreserve indication and they belong to a group of watches that illustrates the subtle line between "useful" complications and grand complications.
Patek Philippe's signature collection was launched in 1932 and came to represent the epitome of a round wristwatch. Elegant in its simplicity, the Calatrava is timekeeping at its most classically understated.
Rigorous geometry and pure lines of modernism, characteristic design features of the Art Deco movement, are recognizable in the Gondolo collection, inspired by classic models from the 1930s.
When the Golden Ellipse was launched it became an instant classic, perhaps unsurprisingly, because the distinctive case shape – a rounded rectangle or linear oval – is based on the principle of the Golden Section.
With Patek Philippe's first sports watch, the company introduced a timepiece that was both rugged and streamlined. The current Nautilus collection is a result of the subtle evolution of the original 1970s models.
Inspired by the Nautilus collection of elegant sports watches, the Aquanaut was devised for a younger audience that had an attachment to classical values as well as a passion for modernity.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
We learned in Types of Forgetting that interference with other memories is one way that we forget information. Mnemonics such as the Peg and Loci systems rely on pre-memorized cues. As a result, interference can occur when you use the same cues to remember different lists. Typically, the new list will weaken the memory of the older list.
There are two ways to get around this. First, you could construct multiple sets of locations for the Loci system, and multiple sets of pegwords for the Peg system. Use the different sets for different types of memory tasks and you will reduce interference.
Another way to get around this is a technique called "Progressive Elaboration." This involves the modification of your visualization to incorporate multiple items (one from each list). For example, let's say that you are already using the Loci system to link your front door to a zebra. Now you want to use the Loci system to also remember an ice cream cone. With progressive elaboration, you would incorporate all the items into one visualization (the front door with the zebra with the ice cream cone). Now you can remember multiple lists using the same loci or pegwords.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla.—The Lions came up short in both games of Saturday's doubleheader—falling 9-3 in game one and 14-6 in game two.
Cole Stancil led the Lions in hits with three on the afternoon while also scoring two runs. Chris Newcomb, Dillon Vitale, Michael Revell, and Bobby Twitty all collected two hits each between the two games. Twitty drove in three runs on Saturday while extending his hit streak to 11 games.
In game one of the doubleheader the Lions took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first when Newcomb doubled and was eventually brought home on Twitty's single through the right side.
Barry scored three runs in the bottom of the third though to take a 3-1 lead. Two innings later with the Lions still trailing by a pair of runs, the Bucs committed four consecutive errors in the top of the seventh to allow the Lions to tie the game at three runs apiece.
One inning later the Bucs pushed another run across the board to regain the lead and in the bottom of the eighth put up a five-spot to put the game out of the Lions reach.
Taking the loss for the Lions was Rick Teasley—who tossed seven innings and allowed five earned runs. Earning the win for Barry and improving his record to 3-0 was Adrian Benitez.
In game two of the doubleheader Barry jumped out to a 7-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning. The Lions did show some life offensively in game two—totaling 10 hits—but it was not enough to counter the Bucs' offensive attack.
The Lions scored a pair of runs in the top of the third but Barry followed it up in the bottom half of the inning by adding three more runs to their total.
The Lions' starter Tyrone Miller threw just one and a third innings before being relieved by Austin Buck. Buck tossed and inning and two thirds before be followed up by Chris Williams, Henry Johnson, and Michael Dunnigan—who each hurled one inning apiece.
Next up for the Lions is a midweek game at home against Florida Southern. First pitch for that contest is set for 6:00 p.m.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/6/2010 (2631 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The gong show in Glendale, Ariz., has only just begun.
Jerry Reinsdorf is out of the running to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes and Ice Edge, the lone group now at the table, is wondering aloud about its ability to finance a deal. Don't for a moment think the saga in Glendale is anywhere near over.
Both the NHL and the City of Glendale remain committed to keeping the Coyotes in Arizona and if Ice Edge's bid to buy the Coyotes eventually flames out there will likely be a new suitor ready to step forward and take up the cause.
As time passes and next season creeps closer, Glendale will be under increasing pressure to find a buyer willing to keep the team at the city owned Jobing.com Arena.
Expect the terms to get sweeter and new interest to mount. There are many twists and turns to come as a group of ill-prepared civic politicians struggles to prevent a US$180-million building from losing its main tenant. Glendale city council is highly motivated to keep the Coyotes right where they are and that gives any interested parties a major advantage.
Don't be surprised if someone takes these politicians to the cleaners.
WHO MAKES THE CALL? The Manitoba Moose and Vancouver Canucks have collaborated in selecting coaches for the AHL affiliate in the past and it's always interesting to watch that process play out.
The history of Moose coaches has played out as follows: Vancouver selected Stan Smyl, Manitoba picked Randy Carlyle, the Canucks hired Alain Vigneault and Scott Arniel was pretty much a joint decision.
The Moose have final approval on head coaching hires. Expect Manitoba to generate the bulk of names on a search list and to be heavily involved in the final decision.
CANDIDATE CLAUDE: Moose GM Craig Heisinger will have quietly prepared for this moment and his list of coaching candidates will be extensive. Moose assistant coach Keith McCambridge will get some consideration but if former interim Columbus boss Claude Noel decides he's interested it would be tough to imagine a better choice. Noel won a Calder Cup coaching the Milwaukee Admirals in 2004 and is highly regarded in the hockey world. He's a career coach with close to 20 years service including 10 as a bench boss and half a season at the NHL level.
RICHARDS RESURRECTION: The Stanley Cup final has been one of the most watchable in years and it would be a shame for it to end before the seven-game limit. We're looking for Flyers captain and Kenora native Mike Richards to control Game 6 and send the series back to Chicago for Game 7. Richards has lifted his team in key moments during this playoff, Game 7 against the Bruins and Game 5 against the Canadiens, and now is time for him to once again rise to the moment.
KEANE'S FUTURE: Moose captain Mike Keane is working out like he intends to play next season. Heisinger has not made a decision on whether to offer Keane a contract for a sixth season with the club. With Arniel moving on and a new coach needing to be hired, Heisinger and the organization will have to make a call on Keane soon.

Raise your hand if you've ever experienced the joy of finding a gladiator sandal that you knew you couldn't live without? *Raises hand*
Ever since my black gladiator sandals died (the heel broke off), I've been on the hunt. Not only do I want cute, by I want comfy. You know that's my favorite phrase.
That's when shoe company Naya walked into my life and just in the nick of time. I was seriously ready to give up. Enter the Palomi Sandal ($129.95), in all its glory. I love the herringbone braid feature that runs down the front of the sandal. They have vegetable-tanned leather straps, a contoured footbed, an outsole containing 10-15% cork or rice husk, and an adjustable Velcro®-strap closure.
At first, I wasn't sure I was going to like them. I'm so hesitant when choosing shoes over the internet. You don't know how they're going to fit. That's the most stressful part, isn't it? I've already worn these sandals a few times and have done quite a bit of walking in them and I have NO complaints yet. They're comfortable, easy to put on, and chic! They run pretty true to size and I can't wait to wear them more. I already know I'll wear these out too! You can find them at Nordstrom in various colors and up to a size 12!

Search through millions of records to find out more.
February 15, 1937 — Slonim, Poland
Israel was born to a religious Jewish family living in the town of Slonim. He was called Yisroel by his Yiddish-speaking parents. Israel's father, Lazar Milkow, was a baker who supported his family on a meager income.
1937-39: Israel's grandparents and many of his mother's relatives lived in a nearby village called Kaslovchina. Each summer one of the Milkow boys was invited to stay in Kaslovchina with their Uncle Herschel who worked as a farmer and horse trader. In September 1939 Slonim became part of the Soviet Union. Even though the government changed, the Milkows' daily life continued much as before.
Poland 1933, Slonim indicated
See maps
1940-44: In the summer of 1941, 4-year-old Israel was enjoying his turn visiting Uncle Herschel in Kaslovchina when the Germans attacked the Soviet Union. It was too dangerous to bring Israel back to Slonim, so Herschel took Israel with him when he led his family across the Soviet Union to safety in the city of Samarkand, in Uzbekistan. They lived in a hut with no running water. Malaria and typhus spread; within a year both Uncle Herschel and his wife died, and Israel was placed in an orphanage.
After the war, Israel was returned to Poland, and after many travels ended up in Rome. He was located by American relatives in 1949, and emigrated to the United States in 1950.

Frederick, Maryland's urban tree canopy covers just 12 percent of the city, but an additional 72 percent could possibly be covered by trees in the future, according to a recent study by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, the University of Vermont and the U.S. Forest Service.
Urban tree canopy—the layer of trees covering the ground when viewed from above—is a good indicator of the amount and quality of forests in cities, suburbs and towns. Healthy trees in these urban and suburban areas help improve water quality in local waterways—and eventually the Bay—by reducing polluted runoff. Urban forests also provide wildlife habitat, absorb carbon dioxide from the air and enhance quality of life for residents.
With 12 percent tree canopy, Frederick has less urban forest cover than several other cities in the region, including Annapolis (41 percent urban tree canopy), Washington, D.C. (35 percent) and Baltimore (20 percent). The report finds that 9,500 acres in Frederick, or 72 percent of the city's land area, could possibly support tree canopy because it is not covered by a road or structure (such as a building).
- In particular, 81 percent of the institutional land area in Frederick could support urban tree canopy; currently, only 8 percent of these lands is covered.
- Residential lands are also important, accounting for 34 percent of the city's overall possible urban tree canopy. Education, outreach and incentives for residents to plant trees may help improve Frederick's urban tree canopy cover.
Thirty-eight urban and suburban Maryland communities, including Annapolis, Baltimore, Bowie, Cumberland, Greenbelt, Hyattsville, Rockville and 29 communities in Baltimore County, are involved in setting tree canopy cover goals. Washington, D.C., and communities in Virginia and Pennsylvania have also set urban tree canopy goals.
Under the 2007 Forest Conservation Initiative, the Bay Program committed to accelerating reforestation and conservation in urban and suburban areas by increasing the number of communities with tree canopy expansion goals to 120 by 2020.

It is the right of any person or organisation to petition Parliament to obtain redress of grievances, or to ask it to take some action or not to do something that is contemplated. The right to petition Parliament is of great antiquity.
The presentation of a petition to the Senate is a proceeding in Parliament and is protected by parliamentary privilege. The publication of a petition before presentation is not similarly protected. (See Chapter 2, Parliamentary Privilege, under Circulation of petitions.)
Petitions nowadays are mainly used to express views on public policy issues. The use of petitions to request redress of personal grievances has declined as other avenues for that purpose have developed. Senators frequently attend directly to the problems of constituents, and other sources of redress have been provided by the establishment of the Office of the Commonwealth Ombudsman and legislation relating to administrative appeals and reviews.
Petitions when presented, like other documents presented to the Senate, are public documents. Any person may therefore inspect a petition and extract any information from it, including names and addresses of signatories. There is nothing to prevent such a person then sending material to the signatories. The harassment or other adverse treatment of a person in consequence of their signing a petition could be held by the Senate to constitute a contempt and punished accordingly.
Petitions are presented only by senators. This means that a person who wishes to petition the Senate must forward the petition to a senator and ask the senator to present it. Senators are not obliged to present petitions, but most senators take the view that they should present any petition forwarded to them, unless it is contrary to the rules of the Senate, and despite any disagreement they may have with its contents.
Petitions to be presented are lodged with the Clerk (SO 69). The senator presenting the petition places the senator's name at the beginning of it, together with a statement of the number of signatures. Petitions must be lodged with the Clerk at least 3 hours before the meeting of the Senate at which it is proposed to have them presented. In practice the rule is that petitions for presentation on days when the Senate meets early are lodged the previous evening.
Petitions must be certified by the Clerk as being in conformity with the standing orders. Rules relating to the form and content of petitions are set out in standing orders 70 and 71. The most important rule is that a petition must be addressed to the Senate and contain a request for action by the Senate or the Parliament.
Petitions which are posted and signed electronically on the Internet are accepted if the Senator certifies that they have been duly posted with the text available to the signatories.
Petitions are tabled by the Clerk at the time provided in the routine of business (SO 57). A summary which is circulated indicates in respect of each petition the senator who presents it, the number of signatures and the subject matter. These petitions are deemed to have been received and the texts of the petitions are printed in Hansard. A motion may be moved that a petition not be received (SO 69(3)). Petitions that are received are ordered to be published under standing order 167 and therefore attract parliamentary privilege.
There is no provision in the standing orders for petitions for private bills, which in some legislatures are founded upon a petition of the interested parties, but which are unknown in the Commonwealth Parliament (see Chapter 12, Legislation).
Senators often receive representations from citizens which do not qualify as petitions, such as petitioning letters or documents not properly addressed to the Senate or the Parliament. Such documents may be presented as petitions if the President is satisfied that exceptional circumstances so warrant (SO 69(8)). Exceptional circumstances are, for example, that the subject matter of the petition is immediately before the Senate, that the petition refers to facts of which the Senate might not otherwise be aware, that the petition refers to a serious grievance or injustice to which the Senate should give immediate attention, or that there is no other way in which the document can be treated so as to bring it to notice. Circumstances which are not exceptional are, for example, that there are a lot of signatures attached to the petition, that a great deal of trouble has been taken to collect the signatures, or that the subject matter of the petition is an important public issue.
Some unusual petitions have been presented, including one relating to the textile, clothing and footwear industries written on a jacket and continued on a roll of cloth, which was presented on 2 April 1992.
A petition received in 1991 was from foreign nationals resident outside Australia. Some senators questioned the propriety of this, but the President ruled that there is nothing to prevent such petitions being presented (SD, 6/3/1991, p. 1234). There are many circumstances in which foreigners overseas could legitimately ask the Senate to take some action in relation to matters of concern to them.
Petitions presented to the Senate are brought to the notice of the appropriate legislative and general purpose standing committee. Committees have occasionally undertaken inquiries based on petitions relating to their standing references.

As we all know, the process of importing data into the directory database is the first step in building a directory service. Importing is an equally important step in recovering from a directory disaster such as an inadvertent corruption of the database due to hardware failure or an application with a bug. In this scenario, a nightly database binary backup or an archived ldif could save the day for you. Furthermore, if your directory has a large number of entries (tens of millions) then the import process can be time consuming. Therefore, it is very important to fine tune the import process in order to reduce initialization and recovery time.
Most import tuning recommendations have focused on the write capabilities of the disk subsystem. Undeniably, it is the most important ingredient of the import process. However as we all know, the input to the import process is a ldif file which is used to initialize and (re)build the directory database. As demonstrated by our recent performance testing effort, the location of the ldif file is also very important. I'll mainly concentrate on ZFS in this post as time and again it has proven to be the ideal filesystem for the Directory. Note in some cases, you can save hour's of time by even the smallest gain in the import rate. Especially if your ldif file has tens of millions of entries.
Generally speaking there are few gotchas that need to be kept in mind for the import process. First thing is to ensure that you have a separate partition for your database, logs and transaction logs (this is actually true for any filesystem). For ZFS this translates into separate Pools. Similarly it is recommended to place the ldif file on a pool that is not being used for any other purpose during importing. This maximizes the read I/O for that pool without having to share it with any other process. In ZFS, the Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC) cache plays an important role in the import process as seen in the table below. ZFS caches can be controlled via the primarycache and secondarycache properties that can be set via the zfs set command. This excellent blog explains these caches in detail. To understand and prove the effectiveness of these caches we ran few tests of imports on a SunFire X4150 system with ldif files of 3 million and 10 million entries each. The ldif file was generated using the telco.template via make-ldif. Details about the Hardware, OS and ZFS configuration and other useful commands are listed in the Appendix.
|primarycache (6GB)
|Time Taken (sec)
|Import Rate (entries/sec)
|3 Million
|10 Million
The table shows the results of various combinations of primarycache and secondarycache on the ldifpool only. The db pool where the directory database is created always had primarycache and secondarycache set to all. The astute reader will observe from the Appendix that the ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) is actually configured on flash memory. This did not skew our results as we are concerned with the ldifpool (where the ldif file resides).
So going back to the table, as expected the primarycache (ARC in DRAM) is obviously the key catalyst in the read performance. Disabling it causes a catastrophic drop in the import rate primarily because prefetching also gets disabled and a lot more reads have to go to the disk directly. The charts below (data obtained via iostat -xc) depicts this very clearly as the disk are lot busier in reading when the primarycache is set to none for the 3 Million ldif file import.
So far, I have concentrated on discussing the primarycache (ARC). What about the secondarycache (L2ARC)? Typically the secondarycache is utilized optimally when used with a flash memory device. We did have flash memory device (Sun Flash F20) added to the ldifpool, however our reads were sequential and by design the L2ARC does not cache sequential data. So for this particular use case the secondarycache did not come into play as evident by the results in the table. Maybe if we limited the size of the ARC to just 1GB or less, the pre-fetches would have "spilled" over to the L2ARC and hence the L2ARC would have contributed more.
Finally a disclaimer, since the intent of this exercise is to show the effect of ZFS caches, the import rate results in the table are for comparison and not a benchmark. And i would also like to thank my colleagues who help me with this blog.

Though I have one pair of black Chelsea that have a layer of clear rubber/resin so thin that it is almost invisible applied to the center region of the sole. It came from the store that way. If I were ever to get any form of protection for my soles that would be the only form I accept. None of the other monstrous method I seen on this forum would be acceptable.

Joseph Koterski, S.J.) M.A., Philosophy, Fordham University, 1998 B.A., Philosophy, Wheaton College (IL), 1995 magna cum laude, honors. Honors thesis: "A Study in the Actor-Character Relationship," on Constantin Stanislavski, Tolstoy and Kant About Sarah Borden Before coming to Wheaton as a freshman, I was intrigued by philosophy. One of my aunts teaches philosophy at the University of Dayton, and short holiday conversations sparked my curiosity. But I had no intention of doing more than a few classes, or maybe a minor - if it proved really interesting. It did. So I followed the introductory course with Arthur Holmes's History of Philosophy course, although the original impetus for signing up was as much because I had a little time and a friend talked me into it, as interest. But before it was half over, I was captivated. Philosophy raised questions that I had (more and less clearly) asked for many years and offered models and structures for reflection. At the end of that year, on the final day of classes, I dropped my IDS major in film and dramatic arts, canceled my slot at a semester film program in LA, and decided that I wanted a Ph.D. in philosophy. I did both the MA and Ph.D. at Fordham University in Bronx, New York. Fordham's program strongly emphasizes the history of philosophy, and between coursework and exams, I developed an interest in the relationship between medieval and contemporary thought. I am struck by the beauty and elegance of Thomas Aquinas's synthesis of Plato and Aristotle, as well as his concern for the relationship between philosophical and theological pursuits. On the other hand, the philosophical method and approach of phenomenology strike me as, in broad strokes, correct. I wrote my dissertation on Edith Stein, someone who was deeply formed by the early 20th century phenomenological school yet also developed a great love for medieval metaphysics. The work on Stein's thought has deepened both of these interests, and much of my work has centered around questions regarding essences and essential structures, the problem of universals, individual and universal forms, individuality and uniqueness, and the nature of emotions and value.

Educators discuss proposed end of Agriculture Incentive Grants
The U.S. Department of Agriculture rates California as the number one producer of agriculture in the country. Now, however, agriculture departments in school districts across California face funding cuts in the next school year, and educators warn students will suffer because of it.
"Although I think our classes will still exist and we do have a supportive community, without the funding, it's just going to be a different picture that we're looking at," said Lindsey Kleiner, an Agriculture Education Instructor with Fortuna City Schools.
Agriculture teachers and department heads from Humboldt and Del Norte Counties met in Eureka Tuesday night to discuss the proposed cut of the Agriculture Incentive Grant. The governor's announcement of the proposed budget more than a week ago includes an end to the grant starting next school year. The state has given the Agriculture Incentive Grant to California schools who have met certain agriculture curriculum standards since 1983. Now educators say without the grant, many of the wide variety of programs in agriculture departments are in jeopardy.
"We won't have the money that we need to run our programs. We rely on our grants to fund our programs. The districts can really not provide the funds that it takes to run our classes. Some of our classes are career technical education classes such as shop, Ag welding, and mechanics and power mechanics, and we just will not have the funds to run those," said Sandy Lovfald, an Agriculture Education Instructor with Eureka City Schools.
The legislature is expected to approve the proposed budget in June.
