Bernard Clarke presents Raymond Deane's The Alma Fetish (with a libretto by Gavin Kostick)
The world premiere is an "enhanced concert performance" with cast, chorus, and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra.
This two act opera concerns the relationship between Mahler's widow Alma, the painter Oskar Kokoschka, and the latter's maid Hulda. Oh yes – and there is also a part for a singing, dancing doll… that meets a sticky end.
A stellar cast includes baritone Leigh Melrose (Oskar), soprano Majella Cullagh (Alma), and soprano Daire Halpin (Hulda).
The Wide Open Opera Chorus and the RTÉ National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Fergus Sheil.
RTÉ lyric fm, Saturday 16 November, 7pm-10pm

According to InternetRetailer.com some web sites have expressed concerns about the effectiveness of the AdSense program. A study by NewGate notes that AdWords program is far more effective. Interesting the opinion of Tom Dugan president of NewGate who "contends that the results of the NewGate study point to an inherent weakness in contextual ads � that they catch consumers at a time when they are not likely to be in a buying mood". Just the opposite opinion of the one I've received last week from Massimiliano Magrini, Head of Sales di Google Italia. Dugan's point of view is very interesting and I might tend to agree with him, even though I think that before talking about theories, predictions and opinions on the matter, it should be better to have a look at more comprehensive AdSense results.
Disney has signed an agreement with Lycos to promote the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" through Europe (which in Italy becomes "The curse of the first moon", boh!). Nine countries will be involved in the campaign that will take advantage of a special web site in nine languages. Disney is trying to take advantage of the very well established Lycos communities. Users might play the characters online by challenging other people throughout Europe in the Fight Club (that will be hosted on Lycos web site). There will also be a chat room and a competition to win the movie gadgets.
There's a new and promising technology for digital ads tracking out there but… it will take a lot of time before it will be accepted and adopted by the industry. CNET News reports today, also explaining how the technology works. Basically, each ad has a 12-digit unique identifier that's used to track it from creation to distribution. The identifier also allows to link this data to demographic information on people to whom the ads have been delivered.
MediaPost presents the case study of Wyndham Hotels online advertising campaign using Pointroll technology. Through its PointRoll campaign, Wyndham is averaging nearly five reservations, 10 room nights, and more than $1,600 in revenue per day. The key is in delivering narrow messages to the users after presenting them with a broad brand message. Excellent results given the tight budget they had to invest in this campaign.

USAToday.com has launched a new program to help its advertisers to target different readers segments online. AdWeek reports, saying that Tacoda Systems' Audience Management System will be used to create Web users profiles and therefore target them with the most appropriate ads.
New Media Age reports that "the trend" among media buyers to divert more spend to smaller Web sites and away from major portals has spun into reverse, according to sources in the online ad industry. IAB has recently released figures concerning 2002, but I believe that, considering the AdSense program launched this year by Google, 2003 might prove different (and better).
Email marketing is just as effective in targeting a business market as a consumer one, but there are some crucial differences. There's a long long article on Revolution Magazine of this month to explain them. Briefly, one of the main problems it's the lack of data (I experience it with the Company I work for as well), while segmentation and precise targeting is the key to success.

can u try and get somebody to put this in a movie trailer parody....if u do, it might go well if they think of something that fits this song. im not a flash creator but i think i should just help out :))
If someone wants to use it in a flash, they can go ahead, but it's usually best to let them make that decision haha. Thanks!

The title is quite fitting, and every time I hear something like this I'm inspired to go back and work on my own music. Great work bro!
Awesome, glad I could help inspire you. Thanks!

I felt my ear drums shake when i listened with my headphones on. Whats also great is that this song may actually entice me to make some animations. Of course i'll need flash first but that shouldn't be difficult.
Yes, that is what I was going for; heavy ear-drum shaking POWER! Good luck with those animations.

I need an idea for a cake for a welcome home from deployment cake if anyone has any ideas that would be great to hear them
Well, to me one of the nicest things about being home would be to have all the foods I love and do all the things I like to, so maybe you could come up with a design that would incorporate some of the person's favorite things.
I have had several wives want a bikini cake done in the US flag or their home state flag. It all depends on how classy the welcome home is I guess lol. My husband is currently deployed and when he is home we do a bbq almost every weekend so his home coming cake will be a grill will ribs and hot dogs cooking away on it.
What about a little house (you could use the Wilton one) and make it look like his house . You could do a welcome home banner across the front?

It gets a little hairy if you want to set error nestedly in a single function, but I've never done that, so I'm not too worried about it.

It seems that somehow we'll need to block until all current operations are done, but I don't know how to do that off the top of my head. Perhaps ufuncs need to lock the flags when they start and release them when they finish. This looks feasible, but I'm not sure of the proper incantation to get this right. The ufuncs would all need to be able able to increment and decrement the lock, whatever it is, even though they are in different threads. Meanwhile the setting code should only be able to work when the lock is unheld. It's some sort of poly thread recursive lock thing. I'll think about it, perhaps there's an obvious way. >> >> It's not entirely plucked out of the error. As I recall, the decision >> was arrived at something likes this: >> >> 1.

You'll notice that we ended up with a slightly more nuanced choice. Besides, the full quote is import: "errors should not pass silently unless explicitly silenced". That's quite a bit different than a blanket error should never pass silently. > The fact that people disagree about this is the reason for the error > handling. Yes. While I like the above defaults, if we have a reasonable approach I can just set them at startup and forget about them. Let's try not to penalize me too much for that though. > Note that overflow is not detected everywhere for integers --- we have > to simulate the floating-point errors for them. Only on integer > multiply is it detected.

Or just document it and don't worry about it. If I'm doing integer arithmetic and I need overflow detection, I can generally cast to doubles and do my math there, casting back at the end as needed. This doesn't seem worth too much extra complication. Is my floating point bias showing? > There is really a bit of work left here to do. Yep. Looks like it, but nothing insurmountable. -tim

Aphids don't stand a chance in the Mill Valley Children's Garden, now that nearly 80,000 ladybugs are on the loose. The garden, a half-acre swath at Edna Maguire Elementary School, was the site of the 13th annual ladybug release on Tuesday, a tradition that helps keep the school's plant beds pest-free. Students, from first- to fifth-graders, took part in the release, cutting open the bags that held the ladybugs and dumping them on to the various vegetables growing in the garden. A ladybug can eat up to 60 aphids a day, making it a useful — and organic — tool to keep aphid populations down. The school was able to acquire the 79,500 ladybugs released in the Children's Garden with the help of a California PTA grant and Sloat Garden Centers. In photo at top, ladybugs gather around the base of an onion plant. Above, children file into the garden to hear a presentation and release 79,500 ladybugs. At right, Kiana Lyman (left) helps Sofia Akram open a bag of ladybugs.

Live on ESPN: Sat 19.30: Colombia are 11/10 (Sportingbet) to beat a youthful Costa Rica side by 2 goals or more in the Copa America.
Costa Rica, fresh from CONCACAF Cup commitments, are sending a largely under-23 squad to Argentina and are 10/1 () to open their Group A campaign with a win. Heiner Mora is the team's representation of experience with 13 caps while youngster Joel Campbell is the hope upfront. The latter is 11/2 (bet365) to score anytime.
Colombia, 4/11 with Betfred to win, should come away from this fixture with maximum points and they have an oppurtunity to put some goals on the board, which could benefit them at the end of the group stages should they snatch a draw with Argentina.
Falcao and Rodallega are the goal threats for Colombia and a good threat they are too. Boylesports have evens about a Falcao goal at any time to add to his massive tally for the 10/11 season while Rodallega can be backed at 6/5 with Paddy Power to net.
If goals are coming Colombia's way then really they should be able to beat a weakend Costa Rica side by at least two goals, something Sportingbet price up at 11/10, while Colombia winning at half time folowed by a full time victory is 10/11 with Blue Square. Those worried by flaky defences can back Skybet's even money about three goals or more in the game.
Compare all Copa America odds and bet at the best price.

I can't believe that last Sunday early morning, I was sitting on a couch in New York and this morning I'm sitting on a couch in Colorado. Things that are the same in this scenario: coffee, cats, fireplace. One big thing that is different: there's a mountain outside my window!
I had fun sharing the road trip with you this week (links below) and next week I'll share posts on how I'm managing in the kitchen with very few utensils, as well as my vegan dining adventures in my new city. For now, how about some vegan news?
This week's vegan links and news
- I suppose this is vegan news. Allegedly Ellen Degeneres is no longer vegan as she mentioned getting eggs from her next door neighbor, who raises "happy" chickens.. There were lots of thoughts shared on Facebook, Twitter and on blogs. I thought this letter, written by Jasmin Singer and Mariann Sullivan, founders of Our Hen House, was fantastic: Dear Ellen: Let Us Tell You Something About "Happy". Their follow-up commentary on the issue and the backlash to their letter is worth a listen on yesterday's podcast: Episode 151: "New and stirring things are belittled because if they are not belittled the humiliating question arises 'Why then are you not taking part in them?'".
- I love it when "mainstream" food sites offer posts such as this one: 6 Reasons to Give Veganism a Try
- I have made it known that I am not a gluten-free vegan. But some of you are, so here you go: Seven tips for gluten-free vegans
- From the Dalai Lama: 'It's Best to Go Vegetarian'
- In the kitchen, Tal Ronnen offers some advice: Putting Taste in Vegan Cooking
- Uh Oh. L'Oréal buys vegan beauty brand Urban Decay. I know a lot of vegans who use Urban Decay (me, me!) and are opposed to L'Oreal products because they still conduct animal testing. This is a serious bummer. Do you use Urban Decay? What will you do?
This week on the blogs
JL goes Vegan
WEDNESDAY: A vegan, her husband and two cats go on a road trip…
SATURDAY: Home! (JL goes Vegan in Colorado)
Stop Chasing Skinny
Have you stopped chasing skinny? Submit your story today!

I could write about great snowstorms I have known, from Chicago in 1967 to Washington, D.C., in 1996 (a journalistic favorite because Chief Justice Rehnquist insisted on starting oral arguments right at 10 a.m. before all justices had made it in) and then declare how these storms don't hold a candle to what's happening now in the nation's capital. (A stunning 54.9 inches for the winter!) But everyone has a blizzard tale this week, so on to something from the law school circuit:
A former Supreme Court law clerk who is now a professor asked last week: Why don't news reporters call law clerks and ask for information on cases? When he was a law clerk, he said to me and the listening students, no journalist ever telephoned.
Now, to anyone who has never been associated with the Marble Palace, this might seem a perfectly logical question. Reporters call people for information all the time, right? But this distinguished professor, who was a law clerk to Thurgood Marshall, knows about the usual code of silence among the clerks. He knows that clerks don't like to be seen talking to reporters in the cafeteria, even about the snowfall. Yet, the essence of his question was serious: What kind of news hounds are you if you don't even try to call the clerks? He also stated – correctly — that the Supreme Court press corps has traditionally been known for its legal analyses on the cases and not for investigative reporting on the justices.
Our press corps has taken hits through the years for not being more aggressive, and the professor had a point—to an extent. I call former law clerks all the time and have gotten valuable information through the years. But clerks still on the job, experience has taught me, are too anxious to talk. I admitted I hadn't tested this view in years, but it's partly because I've built up relationships with justices and am less likely to consider turning to current clerks.
Of course, no one can talk about clerks' talking-out-of-school (and what a reporter might get) without considering The Brethren, the juicy behind-the-scenes account of Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong that relied heavily on law clerks. When I was going through the papers of the late Justice Lewis Powell (a treasure trove at the Washington and Lee University law school) for research on Justices O'Connor and Scalia, I found how perturbed justices were with the clerks – and to a lesser extent themselves – when The Brethren came out in late 1979. The book offered an unprecedented view of the legal maneuvering and petty bickering of the justices on key cases in the 1970s, from abortion to the death penalty. Woodward and Armstrong said scores of law clerks and five of the nine justices had provided them with information.
"This whole episode," then-Chief Justice Warren Burger wrote to Powell as pre-publication rumors were spreading, "illustrates why we … make a mistake in allowing staffers here to talk to anyone outside." Each June, near the end of the term, Burger, who came off as particularly arrogant and petty in the book, used to remind clerks that they had an oath of confidentiality.
Because Woodward and Armstrong appeared to have obtained annual term "histories" written in the chambers of Justice William Brennan, Brennan wanted to make sure his colleagues knew he had not been a source for the book. He wrote Powell on January 3, 1980: "I have never met either Woodward or Armstrong. I have never talked to either of them, by telephone or in person. I have not personally delivered or authorized any person to deliver the histories or other materials to Woodward, Armstrong or anyone else. They could only have obtained them from some unauthorized person or persons, for example a faithless law clerk."
The correspondence regarding The Brethren suggests that the justices who talked believed, at the time, they were conveying serious information to the authors on the Court's workings. They thought it was the clerks who had traded in gossip.
Powell, who was among the five justices who gave Woodward an interview, wrote to his clerks on January 16, 1980: "I am sure you are concerned by the poor light in which the book places Supreme Court clerks. Much emphasis has been placed on the fact that the authors claim to have interviewed 170 clerks, with no identification of those who breached their duty of confidentiality. This casts suspicion on all of the 170. The same also can be said for the anonymous 'reliance' on five justices.
"I think most of you know that I talked to Woodward in September, 1977, when he stated, when requesting the interview and repeated when he arrived, that he was not doing investigative reporting. Rather, he planned a serious book on how power is exercised at the highest levels in the three branches of government. I understand this is now conceded to have been a deliberate (and false) cover plan."
Woodward and Armstrong got the job done, and The Brethren is still in print. I should note that the 1979 book covered cases only through the 1975-76 term. So the authors relied mainly on former clerks for their investigation.
Last week, I concluded my answer to the law professor by asking him: If a newspaper reporter had telephoned while you were clerking, would you have taken the call? No, he admitted. But it still bugged him that no one had even tried.

They're worried about what effect a seated mannequin outside a local shop at an area mall can have on the citizens. So they're only allowing her to place it for three months, rather than the one year she asked for.
The Portsmouth Sea Coast newspaper covered the city council's debate on the topic.
"Have we allowed a chair with a mannequin on city property before?" said Councilor Eric Spear. "Because it kind of freaks me out actually."
Councilor Esther Kennedy was similarly squeamish, "I kind of agree with Councilor Spear. It kind of freaks me out, too."
I'm sorry, the freakout factor is never a good strategy for making public policy that affects a person's business and livelihood. I'm freaked out by snakes, but I've never proposed a piece of legislation that banned them from my city.
City Manager John Bohenko was more concerned for the
"If it appears to be a problem with people, who have a phobia or something, we can probably ask her not to put it out there," said Bohenko.
I guess the more important question for John Bohenko is: what are people with a mannequin phobia doing at a mall in the first place? The place is filled with mannequins. If they're afraid of a mannequin outside, they're going to crap their pants when they step inside.
But Assistant Mayor Jack Blalock, who also owns a downtown business, was the voice of reason and, well, sanity.
"It's a matter of what you like or don't like," said Blalock. "I see this like outside art and a clever way to advertise a business."
Echt told the Seacoast that she has not received any complaints or people collapsing in heaps outside her store since she put the mannequin outside.
"Normally, no one can see the store, and this gets attention," Echt said. "But it's OK. I don't mind."
(You can read a hysterical response from one of the Seacoast's columnists, Lily Robertson, here.)

I was recently given a voucher to spend in store at Shoe Zone to the value of £30. Knowing just how affordable Shoe Zone products are, I was very eager to get into store and pick up some fantastic products for brilliant prices.
The sun has been shining lots recently so the first thing I picked up were the Walkright Boys Navy Velcro Sporty Sandal.
It is easy to get hot and sweaty in this weather so I knew Jack needed some weather appropriate shoes that didn't hinder his plan in anyway and would be perfect all Summer long. We are going away to the seaside twice so we desperately needed something suitable for trekking along the beach and these are definitely the shoes for this – they are just a snip at £4.99!
After the huge success of the Spiderman boots in our house, we caved in when Jack decided he wanted these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles trainers. His feet have recently grown so by buying sandals and trainers to fit his newly grown feet, he is sorted for all weathers. He has been quite eager to wear these in the sunshine instead of his sandals – he loves them that much!
Realising we had a little left to spend, we debated who to spend the remainder on – myself, Jack or my partner – we decided to pick up a new pair of trainers for my partner as he was in dire need and who can say no to those affordable prices?
We were very impressed when looking around our local store. The store was clean and tidy and well stocked. We took a look at all the different sandal designs for Jack and did find another couple of pairs that we liked but didn't have his size – the staff were extremely attentive and helpful though and made sure to check. I was very pleased with my experience.

Be careful mama.
I live in a condominium community so I never have to worry about shoveling. However, if I had a house, I would totally shovel. :)ReplyDelete
Alex loves taking his trucks out in the snow too. boys and trucks.. :D
I kinda like the snow as long as I'm bundled up and keeping warm. Looks like Soren is having a wonderful time!ReplyDelete
:D I agree. Shoveling snow is fun, as long as no one gets hurt. One funny memory I have of shoveling snow is strapping Kidoodle onto my back so I could make a dent in our huge snow stash on our driveway. He was about a year old, and well bundled, but unhappy as could be. He started bawling, and then he started throwing up. . . Er. . . Yuck. At least he threw up in the snow and not on me. I gave up that day. I cried. And then I laughed. :)ReplyDelete
He's getting so grown up! Maybe you should give him the shovel… I'm about sick of the cold weather. Trying to remember our sunburns from NY so I don't miss summertime!ReplyDelete
Was he helping by hauling the snow away in that truck? looks like it ;)ReplyDelete
I don't/can't shovel anymore... and with a huge almost vertical driveway you would need lots of rest breaks! DH uses a lawn tractor with a snow-thrower on it, ugh!
I don't know, man...eating it sounds like more fun than shoveling!!ReplyDelete
Aw, look at that little red-nosed face xDReplyDelete
You best be careful shoveling that snow! I'm all for exercise, but safety first :)
A freshly shoveled walkway always feels nice. I love the Tonka truck! My boys had one too..well, we still have it! Classic toy!ReplyDelete

Highbury proving a millstone for Arsenal's finances
There was good news and bad news on Thursday as Arsenal reported their half-yearly financial results.
While the football side of the Gunners' business is in rude health with pre-tax profits up £4.5m to £24.5m thanks to increases in both broadcasting revenues and matchday turnover at the Emirates Stadium, the dip in the UK housing market is impacting on Arsenal's property business.
The Gunners remain confident that the Highbury Square development can tough out the current economic downturn and to underline the point the club's property business has reported a pre-tax profit of £4.9m for the six months ending November 30, 2008.
However, the redevelopment of Highbury into luxury flats could present some challenges. Construction is close to completion on the development which sits in the footprint of the old stadium but the concern for Arsenal is that the prevailing economic climate will mean sales income from Highbury Square could be slower than expected.
Consequently Arsenal admitted on Thursday that they could be forced to extend the term for repaying the £133.5m loan taken out to finance the Highbury's redevelopment, saying: ''Discussions with the banking syndicate are at a preliminary stage.''
The concern amongst fans will be that profits from Arsenal's successful football business could be used to prop up the property arm rather than be used to invest in Arsene Wenger's squad.
Arsenal chairman Peter Hill-Wood said: ''Clearly there are some significant challenges ahead of us, both on and off the pitch, over the closing months of this financial year and beyond.
''We are closely monitoring the position with a view to ensuring, as we always have done, that the group is on a robust footing and ready to respond to any challenges this exceptional economic climate may bring.
''The UK property market has been particularly affected by the economic downturn and, inevitably, this has had an impact on the group's own property development activities in the period.
''The financial arrangements for the group's property activities are separate and largely operate independently from the financing of the football business.
''This has always been a key aspect of our financial structure for the group and is intended to provide us with the ability to develop the football team as with, for example, the signing of Andrei Arshavin, irrespective of the difficult conditions in which our property business is having to operate.
''I believe these results are all the better for having been achieved against a background of what is clearly a very difficult economic climate.''
Arsenal - who funded the move to Emirates Stadium with a 23-year loan at a fixed interest rate - have always sought to keep their property and football businesses separate.
Speaking earlier this month, chief executive Ivan Gazidis maintained matters on the field should not be adversely affected by the success of the Highbury Square development.
''It does not impact the club because we never based the budgets for the club on anything that happens at Highbury and the two are ring fenced from each other,'' Gazidis said.
''Obviously it is a situation we have got to monitor very closely, but it is not something that will affect the club negatively.
''It is possible, if it generates profit, that it will affect the club positively, but that is not revenue which we have got in our books that if we don't get we would be in trouble - that would simply be icing on top of the cake.''
Overall Arsenal's profits before tax for the six months ending November 30, 2008 were £24.5m, up from £20m, with increased contributions from both the football and property aspects of the Gunners' parent holding company.
The positive effect of the Emirates Stadium effect was shown by an increase in match-day turnover of £3.3m to £44.4m, while broadcasting revenues increased to £28.9m, up £4.5m, and overall pre-tax profit increased to £19.7m from £19.1m in 2007.

Two people were hospitalised yesterday following a three vehicle collision involving a prison mini bus on the A143 in Stradishall, where residents are campaigning for a speed limit reduction.
Police, fire and ambulance services were called to the scene, where a white Mercedes van, a white mini bus and a silver Honda had collided, at about 3.05pm.
Tony Gearing, Stradishall resident, said: "This is the third serious accident in six weeks that I know of. It is only a matter of time before someone is killed.
"At the moment you can drive through our village at the national speed limit, 60 mph, whereas other villages on the A143 like Wickhamstreet have 40 mph speed limits. Still others, like Chedburugh and Little Wratting, have 30 mph restrictions.
"Because there is no limit at all on the Stradishall stretch of the A143 motorists switch off as if they were still on the old dual carriageway, and yet they pass by at least three road junctions, two business entrances and four residential driveways in a few hundred yards.
"Please impose a speed limit to make drivers think before someone dies!"
The drivers' of two of the vehicles involved in yesterday's collision were taken to West Suffolk Hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life changing or life threatening.
No passengers were aboard the prison mini bus. Road closures remained in place until 8.45pm.

Hartsville is a town in Steuben County, New York, United States. The population was 585 at the 2000 census. The town is named after a prominent early settler, Reuben Hart.
The Town of Hartsville is on the county's western border and is south of Hornell, New York.
The first permanent settler arrived around 1810. The early lumber industry gradually converted to raising dairy cows as land was cleared. The town was formed from the Town of Hornellsville in 1844.
Windmills and controversy
In the fall of 2005, it was publicly revealed that Irish windmill company Airtricity was planning to build several windmills in Hartsville, and had signed contracts with several landowners for the use of land on which to put these windmills. This has proved controversial. Opponents alleged that the Town government was excessively partial to Airtricity and the participating landowners, that it failed to take into consideration any of the possible negative impacts of turbine development, and did not make enough effort to negotiate a favourable deal with Airtricity on its own part (towns can require various things of a wind developer, specifically among them a Payment in Lieu of Taxes, or PILOT). In the spring of 2006 some residents brought in B. Thomas Golisano, founder of Paychex, who expressed willingness to provide money to begin a competing wind farm which would give substantially more benefits; specifically, the PILOT and payments to the landowners would be the same as or better than what was being offered by Airtricity, and residents of the town would receive part of the profits derived from the wind farm. This was bitterly fought by the landowners under contract and by certain members of the Town Board. It no longer is being actively promoted.
Two other developments occurred during the same time frame. It was discovered that the Town Supervisor had a contract with Airtricty to allow a power line to pass over her property to the power grid connections, a matter for which she received much criticism. Also, it was announced that the town board was considering using any PILOT funds it received if the project went through to enter the New York State Retirement program. The primary beneficiaries of the entry would have been the Supervisor's father and brother, respectively the head of and an employee of the town highway department. Her father, furthermore, has a contract with Airticity to build turbines on his property. This proposal was withdrawn in the face of opposition.
The Supervisor and one board member resigned, in September and November 2006, respectively, apparently due to criticism of their handling of the issue. A divided board was unable to appoint replacements, but in the 2007 elections, two seats, including that of Supervisor (out of four seats up for elections) went to candidates who had supported the Golisano plan when it was promoted. The incumbent pro-Airtricity deputy Supervisor was defeated by a large margin, and of the other two board members, both of whom were on the other side in the debate, only one was up for election, and received the largest number of votes for a non-supervisor seat. No further candidates were fielded by this faction, and the other two seats were filled by two of the four candidates fielded by the pro-Airticity faction.
In late 2007, Airtricity sold its American operations to E.ON, a German utility company. The town board which took office in 2008 considered a local law concerning windmills, which was enacted in 2009. It permitted windmills to be constructed provided they met certain criteria mainly concerning noise levels and distances from dwellings, while permitting windmill operators and the inhabitants of such dwellings to make exceptions in such cases, if both agreed. E.On ultimately chose not to pursue the project.

|Spacing plays an important role in quality and plant form.
Overgrown, leggy and disproportionate woody ornamentals lose value at retail and decrease profits for growers. It is important to keep growth controlled in production to ensure plants are at their peak when they go to market. Growers have a number of options available for growth regulation, including biological, physical, environmental and chemical controls. Such control tactics help keep woody ornamentals, shrubs and trees compact and visually appealing.
Biological growth controls
As a preventive measure, growers can choose genetics that are less likely to cause problems in production with overgrowth. Choosing less vigorous or shorter cultivars can reduce costs. Physical controls, such as pruning and mechanical shearing increase labor costs, and chemical controls can also contribute to production expenses.
Physical growth controls
Spacing of plants in production can make a large difference with quality and plant form (upright and columnar versus v-shaped or rounded). Tighter spacing can cause woody plants, especially young tree saplings, to grow upward with little branching resulting in weak and leggy plants. Selective pruning of shoots may be all that is required to create a plant proportionate to the container. Shearing can increase lateral branch production and help shape ornamentals. For large operations, a retrofitted lawnmower raised to a desired height above the pot rim is sometimes used to trim liners or smaller containerized shrubs with prolific shoot production.
Growers can restrict growth of woody ornamentals by maintaining plants in small containers for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, prolonged periods in these containers can cause "root wrapping." Transplanting or "stepping" plants up to larger containers can make plants look more proportionate to the container.
Environmental growth controls
Temperature, light and humidity also affect growth. Negative environmental outcomes from being too cool or too warm in a greenhouse or on a nursery pad can cause delayed or leggy plants. If woody plants are grown in the greenhouse, temperatures should be regulated to encourage growth yet avoid excessive stem elongation. A typical setting for day/night temperatures would be 70/60°F. Most woody ornamental growers use slow release fertilizers that contain a balance of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen. If temperatures are too warm (greater than 80°F), the fertilizer prills can release nutrients too quick and provide above average levels of fertility. Undesired growth is sometimes the result of this quick release of nutrients. Fertilizer applications should be timed to coincide with plant growth cycles and temperature variations.
Chemical growth controls
Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) can be used to limit stretch of woody ornamentals. Important factors include timing of application, specific tissue to be targeted, dosage, application techniques and environment conditions.
PGRs with consistent formulations are ideal, so growers can depend on the same performance every time. Generic formulations can sometimes be unreliable, so they should be used with caution.
Growers should also watch out for bark when using PGRs. Bark, the predominant mix component in woody production, has shown to reduce efficacy of some PGRs when used as media drenches. Growers should adjust rates accordingly, especially in more southern locales.
Do not settle for unmarketable, overgrown plants. Controlling plant growth and using plant growth regulators is just as much of an art as it is a science, but these tips can help you maintain compact, beautiful plants.

Friday's Rochester Coverage
Amerks expect to remain patient after six goal game (Rochester Democrat and Chronicle)
Slow start, lack of offense leads to familiar finish by Sabres
'The Sabres (5-20-1) got stuck on one goal for the fourth straight game, and they again took penalties at bad times.'
Briere glad to be back, but he's moved on
'"I always had a good relationship with Darcy," Briere said. "I have nothing bad to say about him. Following that sentence, I think it's exciting that Pat LaFontaine is back. For me, personally, to see Patty coming aboard and trying to turn this franchise around, it's very exciting. I'm happy to see that. It's amazing."'
Dudley gets extension from Habs after Sabres come calling
'"I went to Montreal because of Marc Bergevin," Dudley said in a press box meeting with reporters prior to Wednesday's game against the Habs. "I enjoy the people I work with. It's fun. It's a great gig. If you enjoy something a great deal, why change if you don't have to?"'
Late penalty dooms Sabres in loss to Canadiens; Matt D'Agostini expected to join team today
'"We're talking about penalties again," Sabres goalie Ryan Miller said after a 10-minute players-only meeting. "That's all I have to say about that."'
Former Sabres star Daniel Briere transitioning into new role with Canadiens
'"He's been in hockey," Briere said about Nolan. "He's coached here and there, different places. So I'm sure he's kept active. The game has changed. But I'm sure he has also. I think it's a good thing. From what I've heard, he was very well-liked when he coached here by the players. So it's good to have a guy like that back in the NHL."'
How Social Media Doomed Darcy
'No one really knew who Fake Darcy was. Rumor has it he was someone closely connected to the team. Many of the tweets gave the impression that this individual had more access to the goings-on around the Sabres organization than the average fan.'
Buffalo saw hope
'Approached by the Sabres, Dudley spent his turn. He knows that the reconstruction will be very long and he likes to Montreal. LaFontaine has a very uphill battle. Hiring good CEO will be crucial, as it was in Montreal with Marc Bergevin.'

MELBOURNE Rebels veteran Mark Gerrard was not surprised about his teammate Mitch Inman's impressive first-up game for the Rebels as a replacement for injured captain Stirling Mortlock.
The recruit from Western Force was one of the few highlights for the Rebels in the 35-19 loss to the Waratahs last week.
With the Rebels playing defending champion Queensland tonight in Brisbane, Gerrard believes Inman is more than capable of repeating the performance.
''Mitch has been going really well, he's a strong ball runner and defender so to have someone like that it's almost a Stirling Mortlock mould. But just a younger version,'' Gerrard said yesterday.
Rebels coach Damien Hill coached Inman at Sydney University and was well aware of the 23-year-old's abilities when he was targeting him last year.
''He's 107 kilos, six foot three, fast and driven to be successful,'' Hill said. ''I'm really expecting big things from Mitch over the upcoming seasons. He'll really grow into that role, he'll learn a lot from Stirling and I don't think we could have done better picking somebody to hopefully make 13 their position.''
Hill concedes that Inman's potential would provide him with a selection headache when injured skipper Mortlock, who is nearing the end of his career, was fit to play again this season.
''You need to balance the time they get so that Mitch continues to develop and learn and Stirling still be able to perform and provide his leadership on the field,'' he said.
As for tonight's game, Gerrard, who has moved to the right wing so that star recruit Kurtley Beale can move into the No.15 jersey, said he knew he would have his hands full marking dangerous Reds winger Digby Ioane, who has been uncharacteristically quiet this season.
''I'll try and shut him down as quick as I can,'' Gerrard said. ''He'll be coming off his wing and having a genuine crack so that's something we're going to have to be on top of our game about.''
Gerrard also said new half-back Richard Kingi could provide the X-factor to surprise the Reds. Kingi was chosen ahead of regular half-back Nick Phipps, a Wallabies World Cup squad member.
Meanwhile, the Reds received a boost yesterday when brothers Saia and Anthony Fainga'a rejected large overseas offers to re-sign with the champions.
Anthony is sidelined with a foot injury but he backed replacement Jono Lance to step up as a defensive rock - creating a midfield wall with Ben Tapuai and five-eighth Mike Harris - against Wallabies fullback Beale, fellow boom recruit James O'Connor and playmaker Danny Cipriani.
''With Kurtley injected into their back line, it will definitely pose some threats but, the way we're set up and organised, we're well placed,'' Anthony said yesterday.
■The Rebels have lodged an appeal against the 10-week ban handed to second-rower Adam Byrnes for deliberately making contact with the eye of NSW inside centre Tom Carter. Byrnes has denied eye-gouging and the appeal will be heard by the SANZAR Appeals Committee on Tuesday.

We propose a modified localized carrier distribution scheme based on multi-tone generation to generate 60 GHz mm-wave for different wireless users and it improves the carrier utilization efficiency by 33.3%. The principle of multiple-user discrete Fourier transform spread optical orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (DFT-S OFDM) Radio-over-fiber (RoF) system is presented. This multiple-user system is applicable to passive optical network (PON). Then we demonstrate a 8x4.65 Gb/s multiple-user DFT-S OFDM RoF-PON wireless access system over 40 km fiber link and 60 GHz wireless link using two localized carrier distribution scheme with different spectral efficiency. Compared to conventional OFDM, 2.3 dB reduction of receiver power using DFT-S OFDM modulation scheme and the calculated BER performance for 8 wireless users clearly demonstrates the feasibility of this spectrally efficient multiple-user RoF-PON scheme.

That's the contention of Irwin Kellner, chief economist for MarketWatch and Distinguished Scholar of Economics at Dowling College (Oakdale, NY). 'Prosperity may not be just around the corner," he argues, "but statistical evidence is mounting to suggest that the worst of this recession may soon be past."
According to Kellner, here is all the evidence anyone needs to see that the end of this recession may be near:
The Conference Board's index of leading economic indicators has risen for two months in a row.
Producer prices have increased for two straight months.
Consumer prices rose in January -- the first monthly gain in six months.
The Baltic Dry Index (measures cost of shipping key raw materials) has more than doubled from its recent lows.
Existing-home sales rose in December, and participants in our weekly survey think that another rise took place in January.
Pending home sales went up in December.
Builders' confidence inched up this month.
Thanks to lower interest rates, applications for both new mortgages and refinancings of existing mortgages are rising.
Real hourly earnings rose 4.5% in December following a 3.3% increase in November.
An index of consumer expectations rose in January.
Retail sales shot up by 1% in January -- the first monthly rise since June.
The decline in consumer credit moderated in the latest month.
New orders for consumer and nonmilitary capital goods went up in January.
The ISM index of manufacturing went up last month.
The ISM index of services rose last month for the second month in a row.
The money supply is soaring, a sign that there's plenty of liquidity in the economy.
The 3-month London interbank offered rate, a measure of banks' willingness to lend to each other, has dropped to 1.2% from close to 5% a number of weeks ago.
Other measures of the state of the financial markets, like the TED spread and the 2-year swap spread are down, as well.
Prices of credit default swaps for banks have fallen from their peaks.
The corporate-bond markets are thawing out, too; some $127 billion in dollar-denominated debt was issued in January, the most for any month since last May.
Some securities on banks' books are starting to recover in value.
Now, by any measure, that is quite a laundry list. And one I can't top--nor do I want to!

Everything Is Going Down, But The Word Of God……Ashtabula's police chief spoke to 19 Action News about the details surrounding the shooting at the Hiawatha Church of God and Christ in Ashtabula.
The incident happened around 1:15 outside the church.
According to the report, an adult male waited for his father to exit the church after service was over took out a gun and shot him, fatally wounding him.
The victim's mother witnessed the shooting although most of the congregation was still inside the church.
One of the church's pastors had just gone in and he described the church as packed, with attendance higher than normal due to the holiday.
The pastor that spoke to our crew said that after the man shot his father, he then went into the church and sat down. Members and visitors were reportedly chaotically trying to figure out an alternate way to exit the building to avoid the shooter.
No other people were injured.
Among the attendees were the shooter's grandmother, aunts and uncles.
Police say that the shooter still had the gun in his hands when they arrived to deal with the situation and he was told to put down his weapon.
19 Action News also spoke with the victim's loved ones about what happened on this Easter Sunday turned upside down.
Ashtabula Police is currently investigating the shooting.
For more updates on this story, check back with 19 Action News online and like us on Facebook.
According to members of the Obnoxious Street Committee the man shot his father in the vestibule of the church. It seems the man was causing some type of outburst and the father went to see if he could calm his son down. Additionally, according to account of people tat was at the church today the gunman entered the sanctuary with his gun drawn and the the police actually also entered the sanctuary with their guns drawn and told him to drop it. While being handcuffed he said he worshiped Ali!

La Jolla lifeguard tower rife with cost overruns
Baby bird, seal-pupping, and bad waste pump blamed for budget surprises
Matt Potter 4 p.m., Sept. 21
Oddly enough, Roadside Attractions, the studio marketing Branded, a new thriller-cum-satire of humanity's dependence on corporate logos, saw no need to fire off a promotional flare. Unscreened for the press, Branded dropped on several screens last Friday.
Literal-minded children, whiling away a summer's eve gazing at the sky, are quick to call 17 stars strung together exactly what they are: a constellation. Looking up, Misha Galkin (Ed Stoppard) interprets a glittering assemblage to be the bovine goddess Berengaria, a cheerful talking cow. The laughing cud-chewer would feel equally at home gracing an individually-wrapped triangle of cheese as she does acting as the film's narrator.
Molly Moo Cow materializes just prior to young Misha being zapped by a lightning bolt that. The jolt, at least according to a cheap foreshadowing device in the form of an eyewitness, is one that will forever alter the boy's future as a marketing genius.
Shot in Russia, the film overflows with the type of heavy-handed symbolism one generally associates with the Soviet Union. For their writing-directing debut, the team of Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn bring many a great idea to the table, all of which do little more than rise to the surface in this otherwise synthetic send-up of consumerism.
Branded devotes 10 minutes of its running time arguing that Lenin was the first to come up with the concept of marketing. Who better than Max Von Sydow to play the small (but pivotal, as his agent assured him) role of a ruthless marketing guru bent on boosting food sales. (For the first time in ages a ruddy blush brightens the actor's generally ashen pallor.) He is a firm believer that a well-hammered Rubenesque reminder that "fat is where it's at" should be enough to tip the scales in his favor.
In order to thwart his marketing nemesis, Misha launches a full-out campaign to do away with corporate logos that mar the landscape. What might pass for social commentary quickly sinks under the weight of laugh-free satire. The majority of the chuckles are contained in the film's trailer. The art department must have had a ball whipping up the following ersatz corporate logos.
The talented Leelee Sobieski tries hard at playing Stoppard's love interest, but an underwritten part quickly sentences her to permanent backseat status. Stoppard, whose cheekbones bear more than a passing resemblance to French mime, Jean-Louis Barrault, could have taken a cue from his lookalike and done away with some of the extraneous dialog.
The filmmaker's ambitions begin to logjam around the same time the CGI kicks in. Half-inflated Macy's parade balloons bearing corporate logos sprout from several of the characters necks and begin to follow them around. By the time the floating carcinoma appear, you're likely to be so lost in the jumble of ideas that it will take a road map to find the exit door.
Branded is currently playing at Regal Horton Plaza, Mira Mesa, Oceanside and San Marcos, and AMC Mission Valley. Click for Showtimes.
Reader Rating: Two Stars
I was surprised to see the two stars. Halfway through the review, I thought, "Here comes the black spot."
It ultimately fails, but not before presenting a few original ideas. That's worth a star or two.

WALES women's netball stars take on the old enemy England at Glasgow 2014 today determined to build on an encouraging display against world champions Australia yesterday, writes Andrew Penman.
The Welsh may have ended up on the wrong end of a 63-36 score line against the awesome Aussies in their first Commonwealth Games pool match but vice captain Cara Lea Moseley is staying positive.
The Pontllanfraith goal attack turned 27 earlier this week and she's dreamed of playing for her country on the big stage since childhood.
Moseley's father Kevin played rugby for Pontypool and Newport and won nine Wales caps between 1988 and 1991 and she has now followed in his footsteps by representing her country.
But she's under no illusions as to how tough the task is for Wales, who also face South Africa in their group as well as Trinidad & Tobago and Barbados.
"It's a really tough group but we're improving all the time and we know we've got to play the best if we want to get to be the best," said Moseley.
"The hardest two games are up first against Australia and England and realistically we want to work towards finishing in the top five in the tournament.
"That means we probably need to win three of our five games to qualify for the fifth/sixth play-off.
"The main job for us is to keep everyone together as a unit and to make sure that no one is isolated," she added.
"We've always been a very tight unit; we pull through no matter what."
On today's clash with England Moseley said: "We've played each other a lot in the Super League and we all know each other as players very well, just maybe not as England and Wales.
"We'll go out there and enjoy it and hopefully get a result."
Meanwhile, another Welsh star with a famous sporting father was in action yesterday.
Welsh women's hockey star Xenna Hughes revealed she had been given some good advice from her dad Mark before the 2-0 defeat against England in Glasgow.
"He gave me some good advice about the big occasion and told me just to be confident in my ability," said Hughes.
"He told me to concentrate on what I normally do and not over think things."
Stoke City boss Hughes is unlikely to make the Games as he is currently away with the Potters on pre-season in Germany
"He is in Germany at the moment and very busy," said Xenna.
"I don't think he is going to be able to make it but we will see."

Oops, just realized I posted this in the wrong section, so here it is again!
First of all, what is/was your initial reaction to the name Levin? I've gotten some very negative feedback on it and am now wondering if it is useable. Thanks! Additionally, I was hoping I could get some feedback on some other favorites of mine, as well as some suggestions of names I might like. Here's my (recently updated) list, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions you may have!
Crew (on the fence with this one. I love it but not sure about actually using it... hubby loves it though)
Lyle (hubby doesn't like so it's out.. unless he changes his mind )
Henry (only middle)
Lazarus (I haven't suggested it to hubby yet, but I'm guessing he'll say no...)
Jacob, only with the nickname Jake (not sure about because of popularity. I normally don't mind popularity, but Jacob is just SO popular)
Wiley (my all-time favorite name, but we will probably only use it as a middle, if at all)
Sage (only middle)
Macaulay (only middle)

KENT, Ohio - Kyle Randall's fourth-consecutive 20-point game couldn't push Central Michigan past a hot-shooting Kent State team that won its 11th straight game in the series, this time 87-72.
The Chippewas kept looking for some momentum but it never came. The Golden Flashes didn't let it, hitting 57 percent from the floor in the first half and 55 percent in the second.
Neither team seemed like it could miss in the beginning, leading to the highest combined first-half point total of the season, 84 points. The game jumped out to a 22-21 score in favor of the Golden Flashes before the first clock stoppage as the Chippewas came out hitting 9-of-12 and 3-of-5 from long range while the Golden Flashes knocked down 6-of-8 from behind the arc accounting for all but two of their early field goals.
Austin Keel nailed a three-pointer with just under eight minutes left to bring the Chippewas back within one, 31-30, but the Golden Flashes rattled off five points to go up six at the 7:19 mark, completing a string of field goals on five consecutive possessions. The two teams 'cooled off' to 65 percent (KSU) and 54 percent (CMU) shooting by the seven minute mark and Kent State took a 44-40 lead into the half.
Both teams hit 17 field goals in the first period, nine of which came from long range for the Golden Flashes.
Kent State's hot hand continued after halftime, hitting six of its first eight attempts from the field including two of the first three from beyond the arc.
Chippewas head coach Keno Davis called a timeout at the 8:30 mark to stop an 8-1 run that had given the Chippewas a 12-point deficit, and it sparked back-to-back baskets by Austin Keel - first a three-pointer then a driving layup that brought them back within seven, 68-61.
But a 6-0 run by the Golden Flashes over the next two minutes pushed the hole to double digits for the first time in the game and the Chippewas couldn't recover.
Randall was joined in double figures by Keel's 10 points off the bench. He was the only player to hit multiple three-pointers while five other Chippewas hit one each. All five of Kent State's starters scored in double digits.
