The Bluegrass Ball Plays Post-Phish in NV
The Bluegrass Ball is excited to announce the addition of a very special Phish after-show event with The Travelin McCoury's and Emmitt-Nershi Band on Tuesday, August 9th and Wednesday, August 10th at The Horizon Casino in Stateline, NV! These shows will be the 6th & 7th installments of Bluegrass Balls whose goal is to bring the spirit of a bluegrass festival on the road and to venues across the countries. Part of the excitement and success of the Bluegrass balls is due to the impromptu jams and unscheduled collaborations - that feeling that you never know what might happen, who might jam, and who might show up on stage. Tickets are on-sale now and available at www.InTicketing.com - included with tickets is a FREE Pre Phish pool party on 8/10!
The Travelin' McCourys do not stand still. They are on the road–and online–entertaining audiences with live shows that include some of the best musicians and singers from all genres. It's always different, always exciting, and always great music. No other band today has the same credentials for playing traditional and progressive music. As the sons of bluegrass legend Del McCoury, Ronnie McCoury on mandolin and Rob McCoury on banjo continue their father's work-a lifelong dedication to the power of bluegrass music to bring joy into people's lives. And with fiddler Jason Carter and bassist Alan Bartram, the ensemble is loved and respected by the bluegrass faithful. But the band is now combining their sound with others to make something fresh and rejuvenated.

text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Because there's no cure for Hunter syndrome, treatment focuses on managing signs, symptoms and complications to provide some relief for your child as the disease progresses. Relief for respiratory complications. Removal of tonsils and adenoids can open up your child's airway and help relieve sleep apnea. But as the disease progresses, tissues continue to thicken and these problems can come back. Breathing devices that use air pressure to keep the airway open — such as continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) or bilevel positive airway pressure (BiPAP) devices — can help with upper airway obstructions and sleep apnea. Keeping your child's airway open can also help avoid low blood oxygen levels. Addressing heart complications. Your child's doctor will want to watch closely for cardiovascular complications, such as high blood pressure, heart murmur and leaky heart valves. If your child has severe cardiovascular problems, your doctor may recommend surgery to replace heart valves. Treatment for skeletal and connective tissue problems. Because most children with Hunter syndrome don't heal well and often have complications after surgery, options are limited for addressing skeletal and connective tissue complications. For example, surgery to stabilize the spine using internal hardware is difficult when bones are fragile. Your child's joint flexibility can be improved with physical therapy, which helps address stiffness and maintain function. However, physical therapy can't stop the progressive decline of joint motion. Your child may eventually need to use a wheelchair because of pain and limited stamina. Surgery can repair hernias, but because of weakness in connective tissues, results usually aren't ideal. The procedure often needs to be repeated. One option is to manage your child's hernias with supportive trusses rather than surgery because of the risks of anesthesia and surgery. Managing neurological complications. Problems associated with the buildup of fluid and tissue around the brain and spinal cord are difficult to address because of the inherent risks in treating these parts of the body. Your child's doctor may recommend surgery to drain excess fluids or remove built-up tissue. If your child has seizures, your doctor may prescribe anticonvulsant medications. Managing behavioral problems. If your child develops abnormal behavior as a result of Hunter syndrome, providing a safe home environment is one of the most important ways you can manage this challenge. Treating behavior problems with medications has had limited success because most medications have side effects that can make other complications of the disease, such as respiratory problems, even worse. Addressing sleep issues. The sleep patterns of a child with Hunter syndrome become more and more disorganized. Medications including sedatives and especially melatonin can improve sleep. Keeping a strict bedtime schedule and making sure your child sleeps in a well-darkened room also can help. In addition, creating a safe environment in your child's bedroom — putting the mattress on the floor, padding the walls, removing all hard furniture, placing only soft, safe toys in the room — may help you rest easier if you know your child has less opportunity for injury. Emerging treatmentsSome treatments that are in their early stages of development have had some success by slowing the disease's progress and lessening its severity. Enzyme therapy. This treatment uses man-made or genetically engineered enzymes to replace your child's missing or defective enzymes and ease the disease symptoms. This treatment is given once a week through an intravenous (IV) line. Given early enough, enzyme replacement therapy may delay or prevent some of the symptoms of Hunter syndrome. It's unclear, however, if the improvements seen with this therapy are significant enough to raise quality of life for people with the disease. In addition, benefits in thinking and intelligence haven't been seen with enzyme replacement therapy. Serious allergic reactions can occur during enzyme replacement therapy. Other possible side effects include headache, fever, skin reactions and high blood pressure. Side effects tend to lessen over time, however. Gene therapy. Replacing the chromosome responsible for producing the missing enzyme could theoretically cure Hunter syndrome, but much more research is needed before this therapy will be available.

Citizen scientists are being asked to create a buzz around pollinators across the United States and Canada, including here in San Diego.
The Great Sunflower Project is led by Gretchen LeBuhn, an associate professor at San Francisco State University. She created the study to track the long-term health of bee populations in North America.
LeBuhn said she is hoping to have 100,000 volunteers to help with a coast-to-coast study on native bee populations.
Those who have at least three feet by three feet of space in their yards are being asked to plant sunflowers, California poppies, Bee Balm, rosemary and other plants known to attract pollinators and count how many bees visit the garden twice a month for 15 minutes at a time.
The Great Sunflower Project has been running for four years and has collected data from every state in the U.S. and many parts of Canada.
LeBuhn said she hopes her analysis of the data collected will contribute to a better understanding of what helps and hurts bee pollination.
Before the study began, there were scattered studies showing bee populations were in trouble, LeBuhn said.
"We don't have an end date for our project," she said. "The longer the data continues to be collected, the more valuable it becomes because we can pick up trends."
The project already has 90,000 volunteers across North America, including members of gardening clubs, civic groups, nature museums, universities and public school classes.
As of Sept. 30, there were 268 volunteers in the city of San Diego.
Those interested in volunteering can visit greatsunflower.org or contact firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

Trophy Chance Missed but Liverpool Need to Look to Champions League for SuccessFebruary 16, 2014
Liverpool will be disappointed to have suffered their first defeat of 2014 after losing the FA Cup fifth-round clash against Arsenal on Sunday, but Brendan Rodgers and his players have bigger fish to fry over the rest of the season.
The loss at the Emirates Stadium is a setback, yes, but once the frustrations of the cup exit abide, the coaching staff, playing staff and fans alike should all realise the importance of what lies ahead outweighs this undeserved defeat.
Far from being soundly beaten in return for the hiding they handed out to Arsenal a week ago, Liverpool were once again the better team and created more than enough chances to win.
On this occasion it was the finishing which let them down and nothing else.
Fingers will be pointed at Howard Webb's inexplicable failure to award Liverpool a second penalty, and while that case has its merits, Steven Gerrard could easily have been shown a second yellow card himself and Liverpool shouldn't have had to rely on penalties to find the back of the net.
Daniel Sturridge, on the verge of history for Liverpool had he continued his scoring streak into a ninth game, suddenly lost his way in front of goal. On another day he might have won the tie with two goals in the opening five minutes as the Reds wove through Arsenal's defence once again.
Luis Suarez's run of bad luck continues, this time in the form of impressive reserve stopper Lukasz Fabianski and one or two scuffed efforts, but really, Liverpool created enough clear, quality opportunities to have put another five past Arsenal on the day.
They didn't, it's disappointing...but they move on.
Nobody should try and pretend that the cup didn't matter; it does, and Liverpool had a great chance of winning silverware through it this season.
But they now face the situation of playing one game per week up until the end of the season, time enough between games to recover freshness and fitness, apply tactical plans and have everybody ready to start each game flying from the first whistle. That is the challenge now ahead of Rodgers and Co.: keep the players focused on starting games well every week.
If they do that, the top-four place and the prize of next season's Champions League which comes with it is Liverpool's for the taking.
With Chelsea still involved in two competitions, Arsenal in three and Manchester City in all four over the last three months of the season, there is no telling who might lose focus and precious points domestically, especially with two of those sides yet to visit Anfield.
The FA Cup remains a prize Liverpool should aspire to win in seasons to come, but the greatest and yet most basic of successes they would have wanted this season was the return to the top four.
Even in defeat come positives and reasons for hope, and the Emirates reversal brought plenty of those for Liverpool on Sunday, once again being better than a club above them in the table and considered a contender for the league title.

Kye's Story
"I am grateful to Pi Beta Phi Foundation for giving me the opportunity to pursue my passion of education reform," Indiana Epsilon Kye Hawkins said.
Kye received the Academic Continuing Education (ACE ) Scholarship from Pi Beta Phi Foundation for the 2011-12 academic year. She currently attends the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign pursuing her master's degree in Education Policy, Organization and Leadership.
Throughout her collegiate experience at DePauw University and in the Indiana Epsilon chapter, Kye excelled at her courses, in her part-time job as senior counselor in the admission office and as Chapter President. "A large part of my educational experience has been outside the classroom. Some of my best and most challenging experiences have been through Pi Phi," she said. "I learned more about balance, time management, delegation and above all, staying true to the mission."
Kye continues to learn outside of the classroom as she serves on the Illinois Zeta chapter Alumnae Advisory Committee and on the executive board of the Champaign-Urbana Alumnae Organization. "The most meaningful part of my experience with Pi Beta Phi is the opportunity to learn and work with intelligent and creative women. I am always so impressed with the women that I meet through my work with Pi Phi."
In the future, Kye hopes to help and guide young students overcome adversity within the education system. "I have a lot to learn before I tackle the problems that our education system faces."
Kye is grateful to the Foundation and its supporters. "I am lucky enough to be able to say with confidence that the friends I made through Pi Phi will continue to inspire and support me the rest of my life. Thank you for investing in me."

PALERMO, Italy - No matter who she teams up with lately, Kristina Mladenovic seems to find her way to the winner's circle.
Mladenovic and Katerzyna Piter picked up their first WTA title as a duo in their third WTA outing in Palermo with a match tie-break victory over the Pliskova sisters in Saturday's final.
While it was the first WTA doubles title for Piter, Mladenovic has collected all six of her WTA doubles titles in a little less than a year with six different partners, not including a WTA 125K Series title last November and a mixed doubles Grand Slam at Wimbledon earlier this month. And she has the WTA lead with four WTA doubles titles this season. Here are all the players with at least three:
Kristina Mladenovic: 4
Timea Babos: 3
Kimiko Date-Krumm: 3
Sara Errani: 3
Nadia Petrova: 3
Katarina Srebotnik: 3
Roberta Vinci: 3
Mladenovic also moved into the Top 5 of most WTA doubles match wins for 2013:
1. Katarina Srebotnik: 36
2. Nadia Petrova: 34
3t. Sara Errani: 32
3t. Roberta Vinci: 32
5. Kristina Mladenovic: 29
Meanwhile, a duo with a lot more history together than the Palermo winners was triumphant at the Hungarian Grand Prix, as Andrea Hlavackova and Lucie Hradecka secured the 10th WTA title of their partnership but just their first this year. In fact, the Czechs had not even been to a final in 2013 until Budapest, so surely will relish this triumph.
Hlavackova and Hradecka did not drop a set in the eight-team draw en route to the 13th WTA doubles title for Hlavackova and the 16th for Hradecka.

A proposed photo identification requirement for voters has become a key issue in this year's contest for Minnesota Secretary of State.
Republican challenger Dan Severson is advocating for a photo ID law, but incumbent DFL Secretary of State Mark Ritchie opposes such a requirement. During a debate between the two candidates today on MPR's Midday program, Ritchie said a photo ID law would hurt thousands of military and overseas voters. He said libertarian-minded senior citizens would also object.
"What I hear senior citizens say to me is look, I've voted since Roosevelt. I've never taken a bit of charity or anything from the government," Ritchie said. "I am not going to start becoming a ward of the state just becauseyou want to deny me the right to vote because I'm so old now I don;t have to drive and I don't carry government-issued identification."
Ritchie also said a photo ID law would negatively impact thousands of military and overseas voters. But Severson called that a bogus argument.
"It's just absolutely wrong, because they have military ID, which are government-sponsored IDS, or they have a passport, which again are government sponsored," Severson said. "There's no reason, and if Secretary Ritchie lacks the creativity and ingenuity to make that happen, the he shouldn't be secretary of state. We need someone who's going to go after this issue and validate the valid votes."
Severson also wants to end Minnesota's tradition of allowing registered voters to vouch for non-registered voters at polling places.
Ritchie said his top priority for a second term as Secretary of State would be to continue modernizing systems and equipment in the office.

The Empire of Fashion:
In a book full of playful irony and striking insights, the controversial social philosopher Gilles Lipovetsky draws on the history of fashion to demonstrate that the modern cult of appearance and superficiality actually serves the common good. Focusing on clothing, bodily deportment, sex roles, sexual practices, and political rhetoric as forms of "fashion," Lipovetsky bounds across two thousand years of history, showing how the evolution of fashion from an upper-class privilege into a vehicle of popular expression closely follows the rise of democratic values. Whereas Tocqueville feared that mass culture would create passive citizens incapable of political reasoning, Lipovetsky argues that today's mass-produced fashion offers many choices, which in turn enable consumers to become complex individuals within a consolidated, democratically educated society.
Superficiality fosters tolerance among different groups within a society, claims Lipovetsky. To analyze fashion's role in smoothing over social conflict, he abandons class analysis in favor of an inquiry into the symbolism of everyday life and the creation of ephemeral desire. Lipovetsky examines the malaise experienced by people who, because they can fulfill so many desires, lose their sense of identity. His conclusions raise disturbing questions about personal joy and anguish in modern democracy.
Praise for the French edition: "It is no easy thing to find an intellectual who succumbs to the futile charm of fashion, who is turned on by the seduction of the ephemeral and mocks the 'beautiful souls' who crusade against rock music and channel surfing. Now, we have finally met that rare bird, that apostle of the postmodern: his name is Gilles Lipovetsky."--Le Monde
"This book makes sense of what might otherwise appear derisory, a book that permits us to understand what blinds us by being right before our eyes."--Esprit
"[Lipovetsky's] is an undifferentiated celebration of modern narcissistic freedom: a defense of bourgeois individualism without the constraints of bourgeois morality. . . . [Lipovetsky is] engaged in the contemporary predicament. He sees the sophistication of modern advertising: he is alive to the social possibilities of our cultural transformation. . . And because he embraces, rather than merely dismisses, the new age, he understands it better."--Andrew Sullivan, The New Republic
"Like all books that really count, Lipovetsky's possesses the virtue of breaking the commonplace consensus. . . . [It is a] savory analysis of the infinite detail of the meanderings in the ephemeral. His thesis is fundamentally the following: if it is clear that fashion is a mix of conformity and of individual choice, its very emergence as a historical phenomenon manifests a global and typically Western logic, that of the break with tradition."--Luc Ferry, L'Express
"This books will entice scholars but is also readily accessible . . . and of interest to many general readers. This makes it a rare find among its kind."--Library Journal

Homes and businesses in a seaside town were flooded when a river burst its banks.
The overflowing River Adur submerged areas of Shoreham in the early hours of yesterday morning after high tides combined with a coastal surge caused the flooding.
The worst hit areas were Brighton Road and Ferry Road.
The Environment Agency issued five severe flood warnings, four flood warnings and 10 flood alerts across the south east coastline.
Rod Gates, crew manager at Shoreham Community Fire Station, said: "It all kicked off at about 12.30am when we were called to Brighton Road in Shoreham near the Sussex Yacht Club.
"When we were making our way to the affected area it became quite apparent that we wouldn't be able to get anywhere near it because the River Adur had burst its banks.
"About 10 to 15 properties had been severely affected by flood water as well as Sussex Yacht Club."
One belongs to Rob Drummond of New Road, Shoreham.
The rear of Mr Drummond's house backs on to Brighton Road, which he said was knee-deep in water by 1am.
Shoreham Airport
About three inches of water had flooded the downstairs of his house.
Mr Drummond, 53, said: "It doesn't sound like a lot but when you're actually standing in it and it's in your home it is.
"We didn't know anything about it so we couldn't prepare. They said the East Coast and Kent on the news but no one mentioned Shoreham.
"You could hear it coming through into the house – it sounded like a mini waterfall."
Mr Drummond and his family spent the next four hours emptying the water with buckets and a dustpan and brush.
The extent of the damage to his property was not yet clear.
He added: "At the moment we don't know if it will affect anything in the long-term but the skirting boards can expand and we have a tiled floor, but whether there's any damage to it I don't know."
In preparation for the second tidal surge, which was due to hit at 1pm, Mr Drummond built a mini concrete wall in front of his back gate, surrounded by sand bags.
"I have lived here six years and never experienced anything like this before," he added.
"It's just a case now of trying to do as much as we can to stop any more flooding."
Riverside Business Centre was also deluged with flood water, so the fire crew had to request back-up which came from Hove Community Fire Station, who sent two engines, and Worthing Community Fire Station, who supplied one.
Mr Gates added: "We were in the area for about three hours pumping water out and we were able to save three properties that would have been destroyed by the floods.
"It's not a lot, but at least it's something."
Rupert Hugill, 40, of Brighton Road, managed to contain the flooding to just his living room and described the response of the emergency services as "really, really, brilliant".
"I phoned the fire brigade and police at around 1am as the water was crashing into everyone's properties.
"They were just fantastic and got here in about 10 minutes. "Luckily we have these steps going into the house which are a built in flood defence.
"We just used anything to try and stop the water and put duvets, clothes and pillows down to soak it up."
When the emergency services thought their work was done, fire fighters were alerted to the Waterside Inn in Ferry Road in Shoreham on the other side of the river.
Lucy Gabriel defiantly defends her home on Brighton Road, Shoreham, from the rising water
Mr Gates said: "The water had come all the way up Ferry Road and the pub bore the brunt of the floods.
"In the cellar, water was 1.2m deep and it became clear quite quickly that everything in there was destroyed.
"There were huge, heavy freezers floating about as well as all the stock – we were there pumping until 6am.
"When we were driving back, we saw the lifeboat house on Kingston Lane, and that was surrounded by flood water too.
"I've lived here in Shoreham for 22 years and I've never seen the tide come in like that – it's really quite shocking.
"We're expecting another high tide at about 1pm, so we're told by fishermen to expect the same sort of thing."
A spokesperson for the Waterside, said: "In the early hours of Friday, the Waterside was badly flooded.
"Since the team received a flood warning on Thursday afternoon, several damage control preparations were carried out.
"The Waterside is temporarily closed and it is all hands on deck while it is tidied up. The team is grateful for the support received from the community and looks forward to welcoming them back in the next few days."
Newhaven was also hit by floods at the same time, with Newhaven Town Railway Station being hit hardest, forcing it to close because the line was under water.
Watch manager at Newhaven Community Fire Station George Harrison said: "We were waking residents and told them to turn their electric off and salvage anything they could.
"Thankfully the water receded before any serious damage was done."
Newhaven Football Club awoke to find its outside pitch almost completely covered by flood water, while at least a third of the pitch nearest to the recreation ground was submerged.
Martin Garry, club secretary, said they would have to wait for the flood water to drain away naturally. He said: "We have a match on Saturday against AFC Uckfield Reserve but I won't be able to say until the morning when I check the pitch whether we'll be going ahead with it."
The floods kept staff at Shoreham Airport busy yesterday morning too as they were forced to shift aircrafts and vehicles from standing water.
Ric Belfield, general manager, said: "The tidal walls were breached and damaged in last night's storm surge causing extensive flooding.
"Many of the businesses on the air- port have been affected and there is substantial damage to the Tidal Walls.
"The airport management are working closely with the Environmental Agency (EA), the councils and the businesses on the airport to secure the flood defences.
"The Operational Airport will stay closed until the defences are secure."
Five severe flood warnings, four flood warnings and ten flood alerts remained in place yesterday afternoon as the EA warned businesses and properties to remain vigilant.

text: In conjunction to my other thread about being accosted by smaller dogs and their stupid owners who don't bother to teach them anything - I've also noticed that people with rescue dogs - and again - small ones in particular at that - are quite lenient in their training and dicipline. "He was just about to be killed when the rescue pulled him - he's really been thru hell and back..." - I've heard exactly this and variations of this in reference to people's smaller rescue dogs. It may very well be the truth but it has sounded equally frequently like an excuse. To not train them, teach them, for not having them under total control, for misbehavior, for letting them slack on basic manners. I'm not saying that rescue dogs or rescuing them is a bad thing - I'm saying that people need to get their heads out of their as$es pronto and get their sh!t together and dogs in line - regardless of them being teacup or giant, high kill shelter rescue or bred and bought. Larger rescues are no exception either. Does anyone else notice this? General leniency on rescue/shelter dogs?

Muscular Weight Gain Description from Healthy N Fit
GAIN MUSCLE THE HEALTHY, NATURAL WAYThe name (MUSCULAR WEIGHT GAIN) implies our product is geared for only bodybuilders and athletes. Although it was formulated with the bodybuilder and athlete in mind, the concept was to make a product that anyone can use to gain weight in a natural and healthy manner. In combination with proper exercise, MWG3 is formulated to produce a quality weight gain of lean body mass (healthy muscle tissue) and not adipose weight (unhealthy fat tissue). Many other brands available are highly saturated with sugars, excessive starches, artificial flavors and sweeteners, salt, fats, and other "junk" and inexpensive ingredients to boost calorie content and improve taste. Be leery of these products as these ingredients will produce a definite weight gain, but one of fat tissue, which is not healthy and a burden on your entire system (especially your heart).
Pro-Amino proprietary blend of immediate and extended release Anabolic Proteins, Peptides, and Amino Acids [Including: Highest Bioavailability Whey Protein Complex (containing Whey Protein Concentrate, Isolate, and Hydrolysate - each rich in Beta-Lactoglobulins, Serum Albumin, and Lactoferrin), Calcium Caseinate (containing Alpha, Beta, and Kappa Caseins), Egg White Protein, L-Glutamine], New Tech 2.0 complex Pro-Carbo Blend (Concentrated Glucose Polymers, Brown Rice Powder, Inulin, Ribose), Creatine Monohydrate, Natural Flavors, Stevia Herb Extract, Papain and Bromelain (Natural Plant-Derived Proteolytic Digestive Enzymes), Lactase, Soy Lecithin.CONTAINS: MILK, EGG, AND SOY. Whey and Casein are milk derivatives. Soy lecithin helps to naturally instantize the product.
Manufacturer's Directions
Mix 3 heaping scoops into water, low fat milk, or the beverage of your choice. Use one or two servings per day, depending on your caloric and protein needs. Consume between meals and/or after workouts. Mixing into milk will further increase the protein and caloric content, and make the shake thicker and creamier. Each serving may be split up into two separate 1/2 servings to better spread your protein intake throughout the day. Do not reduce your regular food intake. Hard gainers may also want to use 1/2 serving or 1 serving before bedtime.
Manufacturer's Disclaimer
This product is formulated to be used by adults in combination with an intense training regimen, along with a proper and healthy diet. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. As a reminder, it is always recommended to check with your physician before taking any dietary supplements or making a majoy change to your diet or exercise program, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medications, or have a medical condition. Discontinue use if you experience any adverse effects. This is a natural product and appearance may vary.

text: The 16 rooms fully renovated, enjoys optimum comfort. An elevator was installed for access to rooms and restaurant. The upgrades have been made while retaining the charm of this old house Jura and maintaining a number of features that have made the fame of this hotel since its construction in 1479. The restaurant upstairs offers a traditional updated kitchen, with ease, with suggestions of the day. Cuisine de terroir at the Marketplace. Beautiful presentation of wines from the owners of the region and other French regions. Balcony-terrace in summer appreciated.

It's getting to be That Time of Year.
That's right: it's back to school and whatever isn't done, isn't done. That long lovely summer you were looking forward to in May? Over. Or nearly so. Except for those of you who are still watching ribbon gymnastics and beach volleyball in preparation for your research sabbatical, summer's ending. What to do, what to do? How to break out of that nasty transition stage where you are just shuffling paper around your desk but unable to to accomplish much — whether it's your own work or anything remotely connected to starting school — because in a few short weeks the students will descend?
I can't do anything about the calendar, but let's try to cheer up with a few Radical solutions to the end of summer blues! For example:
Go on a short vacation to Tudor England. Hilary Mantel's Bring Up The Bodies (Henry Holt 2012) is, as far as I am concerned the novel of the summer, and I can't think of a better time to read it than when you would otherwise be deleting email from the Online Reserve desk. A sequel to Wolf Hall (2010), Bring Up the Bodies continues the story of Henry VIII's reign, written from the perspective of Thomas Cromwell. Taking the reader through the grisly end of Ann Boleyn's short reign as Queen of England, it ends with (SPOILER ALERT!!!!!) the multiple beheadings that cleared the way for Lady Jane Seymour's marriage to the king.
The best part? Other than the rich description of Cromwell's interior life, I would vote for Mantel's skillful argument about the rise of a middle class committed to capitalism and a functioning, centralized state that might safeguard England's future from the idiotic exercise of power by an inbred, undereducated aristocracy that couldn't run a country if you put Nike trainers on it.
The other best part? Visiting sixteenth century Britain without worrying about being bitten by fleas and coming down with the plague.
Go to the movies. I know — it isn't easy. Movies this summer have been downright dreadful, if you ask me, and the horrible shootings at the Batman premiere in Aurora, CO have made going to a movie theater even less compelling. But the film I would recommend if you can get to it (particularly if a post-Olympics America feels like a yawning, dark hole with no bottom) is First Position (First Position Films: Bess Kargman, 2012), which is about high stakes ballet competitions for kids under eighteen. Take a look:
I'm telling you — watching this movie about hard-working kid athletes confirmed my view that the pseudo-sport of Olympic beach volleyball is about the buns, boobs and bathing suits, no more and no less.
Find a new activity. It doesn't have to be a very important activity — like, say, breaking from the Church of Rome or mastering the role of the White Swan. Yours truly, having become urban and lost access to my rowing venue, has joined a yoga studio. I admit that it is a kind of placeholder while I figure out what sports a fifty-something historian with a bum knee (who is barred from all athletic pursuits that include running, jumping and getting hit) can do. A friend of mine introduced me to a bouldering and climbing studio, which could work except for my concerns about dropping in free fall from significant heights. But for now it's yoga. Personally, I like the part best where I am lying on the mat at the end with the fan going thwop, thwop, thwop over my head. But a close second best is knowing that even though I haven't finished a grant, a book or a syllabus that day, at least I have done something and there are little tiny sore muscles all over my body.
How to pick a yoga studio? My advice for those of you who are, like me, yoga nubies, is to pay absolutely no attention to the reviews on Yelp! since they tend to be written by people who are really good at yoga and have requirements about which you and I are as yet entirely ignorant. For example, after I bought a card for my studio (the closest to my apartment) I read a review that said: "They are all about the money at Om Studios, and don't focus enough on The Spirit."
Right on, Om Studios. Thomas Cromwell would have gone to your classes, and so will I, at least for now. But practically speaking? Pick a place that has lots of introductory or basic classes, that is pretty clean, and that doesn't have a lot of incredibly skinny women with no breasts going into Side Crane Pose while you are still trying to scrape your tee shirt off your nose in Downward-Facing Dog.
Call the Republican National Committee and nominate Gay Prof for Vice President. Why not? He would be so much more fun than any of the nominees whose names have been leaked so far. Nominating Gay Prof might also cancel out all that bad poopy that the Romney campaign stepped in on the "foreign policy trip" to Israel. For example, Gay Prof is a professor of Chicano studies and could probably find a way to say "culture" and Mexico" in the same sentence without losing the Hispanic vote. Gay Prof is also renowned for his bipartisanship, his gayness (which could help Romney pink up his image), his collection of Wonder Woman illustrations, and his complete lack of political experience or connection to the Washington Establishment.
Adopt a new pet. There's nothing that says "I'm not ready to face another year of teaching!" like paper training a puppy, chasing kittens around the house or introducing a really unhappy middle aged tabby to a wiggly ShinMin-Poo who won't take no for an answer. Adopting a new pet will allow you to fill your days with putting together the endless documentation and personal references that are now necessary to prove that you are not an animal hoarder. You will cheer yourself up by shopping for the hundreds of dollars worth of cute things made of brightly colored plastic and nylon that every pet needs. You can also turn down all committee assignments for the fall on the grounds that you expect to be subject to random inspections from the Wee Fluffy Society and have signed up for a semester's worth of Basic Dog Training classes that meet at 4:00 P.M. sharp.
Last but not least…..
Go shopping for back to school clothes. Nothing puts off finishing those syllabi like figuring out what you are going to wear at that first department meeting. You'll need a stack of black tees and black 501 jeans — oops! That's just Tenured Radical! But how about a snappy pair of Tony Lama cowboy boots? Or a fancy new messenger bag? If you are coming up for tenure in the fall, you will definitely want to hit the ground in a new pair of Doc Marten's, a motorcycle jacket and a pair of Dr. Dre Beats, now in five c0lors and guaranteed to drown out everything you do not want to hear as you cross campus.
Reader's — how do you cure the end of summer blues?

Hey guys,
I'm working on a project writing an OPC client (a standard in process engineering) and I've come across a little datadesign issue that I could really use your opinions on! Basically the way the OPC server works is you query using a Synchronous read method and essentially after some back of fourth it returns a lot of values in a single messy System.Array, the nature of the client means that this array can be anything from 6 objects to over a thousand or more.
Luckily, as that has to be done is display this allready optimized data in a GridView, but this is where I'm not sure what the best way to do it is. The amount of columns is not dynamic, so that helps a lot but basically I need it to iterate through the Array, insert it into the Grid creating a new row after each 6 values.
My first approach was to write a method that splits the initial Array into a lot of small [6]arrays but surely there's an easier way? I've also been looking into the BindingList object, it seems like something worth using? or maybe a double for-loop?
So in short, I have a dynamic array of values and for each 6 values I need to insert them into a row in a DataTable/GridView - so row1: v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6 /new row v7, v8, v9, v10, v11, v12 and so on unto the breach.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance <3
Key question is "is this an array of objects or a multi-dimensional array?"
If it is the former, it is easy -- just set the datasource property and call DataBind() and you are set, just like binding to any other collection of objects.
Multi-dimensional is a better question -- I'd be inclined to write a wrapper that pushes the multi-dimensional array into a layout object and then bind to the object. Also opens the door for stuff like creating formatting without gads of ASPX template code.
I ended up cutting the massive Array into small arrays of a set length, and then adding the small array into the DataTable using the .loadDataRow(object[], boolean) method.
If anyone should ever need it, here's my final code (C#):
// Cut the values array after each row length and generate a row in the grid
var fifties = from index in Enumerable.Range(0, lol.Length)
group lol[index] by index / 7;
int numRows = 1;
foreach (var fifty in fifties)
if (numRows <= CVcount)
dt.LoadDataRow(fifty.ToArray(), true);
dmvt.LoadDataRow(fifty.ToArray(), true);
// refresh the Grids
Thanks :>
You really don't need the datatable there . . .
How so? I tried binding the Grids directly to the array(s) but I get an Object not compatable error?
Interesting -- where did you get that exception? You can definitely databind to anything that implements IEnumerable (and a few other interfaces) so System.Array should work . . .
I'll try to replicate the error again, since I'm still using my Datatable code.

Cigar Toys
Comparable to a precision German automobile shifting gear, the double blades of the Donatus Pocket Cigar Cutter gently glide and lock together in a click of perfect symmetry. The frosted stainless-steal finish, polished handles and curved hardened edges, bolted in four corners, give the cigar cutter an industrial Art Deco look, making it an accessory to be admired by cigar aficionados or engineering and art enthusiasts alike.
Donatus of Solingen, based in Solingen, Germany -- a virual Mecca of cutlery, produces a variety of cigar cutters and accessories, and like most German engineering, this cutter (which goes by the name Double-Cutter) is sleak, durable, and a bit more expensive than the average product. But you get what you pay for.
The Double-Cutter functions like your typical double guillotine, but it's built to fit three fingers rather than two. Fitting snugly over your thumb, middle and index fingers, the cutter makes slicing a cigar as natural as opening and closing your hand. With three-fingered power and a cutting edge look, your snip can be swift and clean.
Retailing for $94, the Double-Cutter comes protected in a high-grade leather pocket and is available in a variety of styles.

SOCY 151 - Lecture 13 - Marx's Theory of Class and Exploitation
Lecture 13 - Marx's Theory of Class and Exploitation
In order to move from a theory of alienation to a theory of exploitation, Marx develops a concept of class and of the capitalist mode of production. He developed these in The Communist Manifesto, the Grundrisse and Das Kapital. Marx argues that what sets the capitalist mode of production apart from the commodity mode of production is not only the accumulation of money; the capitalist mode of production is characterized by the use of labor power as a commodity to create more value. The capitalist compensates the laborer enough for his labor power to reproduce the commodity (the labor power), but the laborers' power produces additional value: a surplus value for the owner. The worker is exploited when he does not keep or control the value created by his own labor power. Marx argues that the capitalist system forces people into one of two classes: the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. This class dichotomy did not describe accurately social structure in Marx time, when a sizable class of self-employed existed. Marx predicted that this "middle class" will disappear; instead it grew in size over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

What a mental night! The place was rammed, the bass was huge and everything was bouncing.
Ended up standing at the back for most of the night, and even there you were drenched in sweat within 5mins.
Support acts were ok, not hugely into DubStep so got a bit bored. Chase &… (cont'd) Elmo from London

Docket No. AB 511 (Sub-No. 5X)
Decided: August 19, 2010
Central Railroad Company of Indianapolis (CERA) filed a verified notice of exemption under 49 C.F.R. pt. 1152 subpart F–Exempt Abandonments to abandon 2.84 miles of rail line on CERA's Tipton Industrial Lead between milepost 55.66 and milepost 58.5, in Howard County, Ind. Notice of the exemption was served and published in the Federal Register on July 22, 2010 (75 Fed. Reg. 42,814-15). The exemption is scheduled to become effective on August 21, 2010.
The Board's Section of Environmental Analysis (SEA) served an environmental assessment (EA) in this proceeding on July 27, 2010. In the EA, SEA indicates that CERA served its historic report on the Indiana State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) pursuant to 49 C.F.R. § 1105.8(c). However, SEA states that it has not heard from the SHPO regarding its opinion on the potential for the line to contain properties eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (National Register) pursuant to Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, 16 U.S.C. § 470f (NHPA). Accordingly, SEA recommends a condition that CERA be required to retain its interest in and take no steps to alter the historic integrity of all historic properties, including sites, buildings, structures, and objects within the project right-of-way (the Area of Potential Effect) that are eligible for listing or are listed in the National Register until the Section 106 process of the NHPA has been completed. SEA also recommends that CERA be required to report back to SEA regarding any consultations with the SHPO, the public, and any other Section 106 consulting parties that have been identified, and that CERA not be allowed to consummate the abandonment or initiate any salvage activities related to abandonment (including removal of tracks and ties) until the Section 106 process has been completed and the Board has removed this condition.
Additionally, SEA indicates that it conducted a search of the Native American Consultation Database (Database) at http://home.nps.gov/nacd/ to identify Federally recognized tribes that may have ancestral connections to the project area and would need to be contacted as part of the Section 106 process. According to SEA, the Database indicated that the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma was shown as having a potential interest in the proposed undertaking. Accordingly, SEA states in the EA that it is sending a copy of the EA to this tribe for review and comment.
Comments to the EA were due by August 11, 2010. According to SEA, in a letter from the SHPO dated July 14, 2010, the SHPO indicated that that the proposed abandonment would not result in adverse effects to any properties known to be eligible for listing or to be listed on the National Register. Therefore, SEA now makes a finding of "no historic properties affected" pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 800.4(d)(1) and recommends that no Section 106 condition be imposed on any abandonment authorization. Based on the contents of the SHPO's letter, SEA now recommends imposition of a new condition: that, in the event that any unanticipated archaeological sites, human remains, funerary items, or associated artifacts are discovered during the railroad's salvage activities, CERA be required immediately to cease all work and to notify SEA, interested Federally recognized tribes, and the SHPO, pursuant to 36 C.F.R. § 800.13(b). SEA shall then consult with the SHPO, interested Federally recognized tribes, CERA, and other consulting parties to determine whether mitigation measures are necessary. No other comments were received. Accordingly, the Section 106 condition recommended by SEA in the EA will not be imposed, and the condition now recommended by SEA will be imposed.
In the EA, SEA states that the right-of-way may be suitable for other public use following abandonment and salvage of the line. On August 2, 2010, the City of Kokomo (City) filed a request for the issuance of a notice of interim trail use (NITU) for 2 segments of the right-of-way totaling 2.35 miles (the 2 segments) to negotiate with CERA for acquisition of the 2 segments for use as a trail under the National Trails System Act, 16 U.S.C. § 1247(d) (Trails Act), and 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29. The 2 segments are comprised of the right-of-way between: (1) milepost 55.66 near Gano Street and milepost 57.39 at the south right-of-way of the proposed U.S. 35, a distance of 0.62 miles; and (2) milepost 57.88 at the north right-of-way of the proposed U.S. 31 and milepost 58.5 at the south end of the Nickel Plate Trail, a distance of 1.73 miles. The City also has submitted a statement of willingness to assume full responsibility for the management of, for any legal liability arising out of the transfer or use of (unless the user is immune from liability, in which case it need only indemnify the railroad against any potential liability), and for the payment of any and all taxes that may be levied or assessed against, the right-of-way for the 2 segments, as required at 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29, and has acknowledged that the use of the right-of-way for trail purposes is subject to future reconstruction and reactivation for rail service. In a response filed on August 2, 2010, CERA states that it is willing to negotiate with the City for interim trail use for the 2 segments.
Because the City's request complies with the requirements of 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29, and CERA is willing to negotiate with the City for trail use, a NITU will be issued for the 2 segments. The parties may negotiate an agreement during the 180-day period prescribed below. If the parties reach a mutually acceptable final agreement, no further Board action is necessary. If no agreement is reached within 180 days, CERA may fully abandon the line, subject to any outstanding conditions. See 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29(d)(1). Use of the right-of-way for trail purposes is subject to any future use of the property for restoration of railroad operations.
The City also has requested imposition of a public use condition under 49 U.S.C. § 10905 for the 2 segments. The City requests that CERA be prohibited from disposing of the corridor, other than tracks, ties, and signal equipment, except for public use on reasonable terms, and that CERA be barred from the removal or destruction of potential trail-related structures, such as bridges, trestles, ballast, culverts, and tunnels, for a 180-day period from the effective date of the abandonment. The City's justification for its request is that these structures have considerable value for recreational trail purposes. The City indicates that the corridor connects to the north with another 37-mile public trail and that the requested public use condition would allow this trail to be connected to a population center of approximately 46,000 residents. The City states that the 180-day period is needed to review title information and to begin negotiations with CERA.
As an alternative to interim trail use under the Trails Act, the right-of-way may be acquired for public use as a trail under 49 U.S.C. § 10905. See Rail Aban.–Use of Rights-of-Way as Trails, 2 I.C.C.2d 591, 609 (1986). Under § 10905, the Board may prohibit the disposal of rail properties that are proposed to be abandoned and are appropriate for public purposes for a period of not more than 180 days after the effective date of the decision approving or exempting the abandonment.
To justify a public use condition, a party must set forth: (i) the condition sought; (ii) the public importance of the condition; (iii) the period of time for which the condition would be effective; and (iv) justification for the imposition of the period of time requested. See 49 C.F.R. § 1152.28(a)(2). Because the City has satisfied these requirements, a 180-day public use condition will be imposed, requiring CERA to keep intact the right-of-way for the 2 segments (including bridges, trestles, ballast, culverts, and tunnels) and to refrain from disposing of the corridor (other than tracks, ties, and signal equipment), commencing from the August 21, 2010 effective date of the exemption.
When the need for interim trail use/rail banking and public use is shown, it is the Board's policy to impose both conditions concurrently, subject to the execution of a trail use agreement. Here, however, while both conditions will be imposed at this time, the public use condition will expire on February 17, 2011, while the trail use negotiating period will run 180 days from the service date of this decision and notice (until February 16, 2011). If a trail use agreement is reached on a portion of the right-of-way for the 2 segments prior to February 17, 2011, CERA must keep the remaining right-of-way intact for the remainder of the 180-day period to permit public use negotiations. Also, a public use condition is not imposed for the benefit of any one potential purchaser, but rather to provide an opportunity for any interested person to acquire the right-of-way that has been found suitable for public purposes, including trail use. Therefore, with respect to the public use condition, CERA is not required to deal exclusively with the City, but may engage in negotiations with other interested persons.
As conditioned, this decision and notice will not significantly affect either the quality of the human environment or the conservation of energy resources.
It is ordered:
1. This proceeding is reopened.
2. Upon reconsideration, the notice served and published in the Federal Register on July 22, 2010, exempting the abandonment of the line described above, is modified to the extent necessary: (1) to implement interim trail use/rail banking as set forth below to permit the City to negotiate with CERA for trail use of the 2 segments, for a period of 180 days from the service date of this decision and notice (until February 16, 2011); and (2) to permit public use negotiations as set forth below, for a period of 180 days commencing from the August 21, 2010 effective date of the exemption (until February 17, 2011). It is also subject to the condition that, in the event that any unanticipated archaeological sites, human remains, funerary items, or associated artifacts are discovered during the railroad's salvage activities, CERA shall immediately cease all work and notify SEA, interested Federally recognized tribes, and the SHPO. SEA shall then consult with the SHPO, interested Federally recognized tribes, CERA, and other consulting parties to determine whether mitigation measures are necessary.
3. Consistent with the public use and interim trail use/rail banking conditions imposed in this decision and notice, CERA may discontinue service over the line. CERA shall keep intact the right-of-way for the 2 segments, including bridges, trestles, ballast, culverts, and tunnels, and shall refrain from disposing of the corridor (other than tracks, ties, and signal equipment), for a period of 180 days to enable any state or local government agency, or other interested person, to negotiate the acquisition of the 2 segments for public use. If an interim trail use/rail banking agreement is executed before expiration of the 180-day period, the public use condition will expire to the extent the trail use/rail banking agreement covers the same portion of the line.
4. If an interim trail use/rail banking agreement is reached, it must require the trail user to assume, for the term of the agreement, full responsibility for management of, for any legal liability arising out of the transfer or use of (unless the user is immune from liability, in which case it need only indemnify the railroad against any potential liability), and for the payment of any and all taxes that may be levied or assessed against, the right-of-way.
5. Interim trail use/rail banking is subject to any future use of the property for restoration of railroad operations and to the user's continuing to meet the financial obligations for the right-of-way.
6. If interim trail use is implemented, and subsequently the user intends to terminate trail use, it must send the Board a copy of this decision and notice and request that it be vacated on a specified date.
7. If an agreement for interim trail use/rail banking is reached by February 16, 2011, interim trail use may be implemented. If no agreement is reached by that time, CERA may fully abandon the line, after the conditions imposed in this proceeding are met. See 49 C.F.R. § 1152.29(d)(1).
8. This decision is effective on its service date.
By the Board, Rachel D. Campbell, Director, Office of Proceedings.
