From Asia to Amherst, through time and space
There is rarely a dull moment in the choreographies of Sweet Briar professors Ella and Mark Magruder, and this year's Fall Dance Concert is no exception. In groups or solo, dancers will explore nature, human emotions and scientific phenomena to the scores of a Taiwanese composer, as well as a live orchestra. Performances take place at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9 and Saturday, Nov. 10 in Murchison Lane Auditorium in Babcock Fine Arts Center at Sweet Briar College. They are free and open to the public.
In Mark Magruder's nearly 28 years at Sweet Briar, it is only the second time that the Sweet Briar Orchestra has accompanied the dance department live on stage. Led by Sweet Briar's newly appointed orchestra director, Jeff Jones, the 13-member ensemble will perform Terry Riley's "In C" to a dance Magruder choreographed for 15 Sweet Briar students.
Including two scores in the program by Taiwanese composer Lu Yun, who will attend the concert, is another special treat. The Magruders befriended Yun, a Ph.D. candidate in composition at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, while in Taiwan this summer for the "Dance and the Child International" (daCi) conference. Both professors have choreographed a dance to Yun's work.
Other highlights include a duet by senior dance majors Sarah Fletcher and Jessica Murphy, of Lynchburg, exploring time, space and energy; and a dance for five choreographed by Murphy, in which the dancers portray a spider and a moth.
"On the surface this work appears to be about a spider and a moth, but its deeper meanings on the metaphorical level are about the struggle between dreams and hopes, and fears and past regrets," Magruder explained.
The concert will also feature sophomore dance major Sadé Fountain in a solo about the loss of a loved one and the appreciation of life, Magruder said. "The dance depicts one's inner struggle, and how one's strength allows them to rise above life's many challenges."
Fountain's classmate and fellow dance major Tiffanie Brown stars in a solo to Samuel Barber's music and is the choreographer of a quartet in which four personalities try to work out their differences.
For more information about the concert, please call (434) 381-6150 or email [email protected].

The Gulfstream Beijing Service Center recently received authorization to service Gulfstream aircraft registered in Hong Kong and Macau. The approval was granted through a joint maintenance management (JMM) agreement among the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the Civil Aviation Department of Hong Kong and the Civil Aviation Authority of Macau SAR.
Under the agreement, Gulfstream Beijing can perform maintenance and upgrades on airframes, avionics, powerplants and interiors on Gulfstream G550s, G450s and G200s registered in Hong Kong and Macau. Gulfstream Beijing earned CAAC approval last year to work on those models registered in China.
"The JMM approval is welcome news for many of our Hong Kong and Macau operators who travel frequently to Beijing and nearby cities," said Mark Burns, president of Gulfstream Product Support. "As Gulfstream Beijing grows, our goal is to add authorizations to give our customers more options for maintenance."
According to the company there are more than 200 Gulfstream aircraft based in the Asia-Pacific region, including more than 45 in Hong Kong and Macau.

Journey to Ixtlan
This volume shows the reader the means by which a "man of power" sees, as opposed to merely looking, and how by his concentrated "seeing" he can, indeed must, "stop the world." In it, Carlos Castaneda describes the lessons, the omens, the exercises of the will and body, the arduous trials and tests, the simple yet mysterious demonstrations, the extraordinary visions and experiences by which don Juan, his mentor and friend, prepares him for the task of perceiving things as they are, instead of describing them by the words, conventions and standards of conventional, a priori ideas and language. Here, in the high mountains and in the bright arid desert, Castaneda reaches for power in a series of startling encounters with the unknown--a confrontation with death and the past in the form of an albino falcon, with the twilight wind, with a flesh-and-blood mountain lion, with a mountain fog--and learns the techniques, the concentration, the compassion of the hunter, the man who is "without routines, free, fluid."

Telemarketing Fraud
Telemarketing fraud is a multi-billion dollar business in the United States and if you're age 60 or older, you may be a special target for people who sell bogus products and services by phone. Prize offers, travel packages, vitamins and other health products, investments, charitable solicitations and recovery scams are frequently used to lure unsuspecting victims.
Government regulations like the Telemarketing Sales Rule require telemarketers to make certain disclosures and prohibit certain misrepresentations. For example:
- It's illegal for a telemarketer to call if you've asked not to be called.
- Calling times are restricted to the hours between 8 AM and 9 PM.
- Telemarketers must tell you it's a sales call and who's doing the selling before they make their pitch.
- It's illegal for telemarketers to misrepresent any information, including facts about their goods or services, earnings potential, profitability, risk or liquidity of an investment, or the nature of a prize in a prize-promotion scheme.
- Telemarketers must tell you the total cost of the products or services they're offering and any restrictions on getting or using them, or that a sale is final or non-refundable, before you pay.
- It's illegal for a telemarketer to withdraw money from your checking account without your verifiable authorization.
- Telemarketers cannot lie to get you to pay, no matter what method of payment you use.
How to protect yourself
Don't buy from an unfamiliar company. Legitimate businesses understand that you want more information about their company and are happy to comply. Always ask for and wait until you receive written material about any offer or charity.
If you get brochures about costly investments, ask someone whose financial advice you trust to review them.
Always check out unfamiliar companies with your local consumer protection agency, Better Business Bureau, state Attorney General or other groups. Unfortunately, not all bad businesses can be identified through these organizations.
Always take your time making a decision. Legitimate companies won't pressure you to make a snap decision. It's never rude to wait and think about an offer. Be sure to talk over big investments offered by telephone salespeople with a trusted friend, family member, or financial advisor.
Never respond to an offer you don't understand thoroughly. Never send money or give out your credit card or bank account number to unfamiliar companies. Be aware that any personal or financial information you provide may be sold to other companies.

Support 5Forty3
On 12th November 2013, we started 5Forty3 as an experimental platform to analyse Indian elections and in about four months we have got tremendous support from the readers which is borne by the fact that we have had close to 1.5 lakh hits in this period and get some 30k visitors every month. Going forward, we decided to plug the large gaps in available data of opinions of ordinary Indians on a wide range of issues by conducting political poll surveys to begin with. As India keeps growing, one of the areas that needs to be addressed is non-availability of dependable large data of opinions, which is a space that is either dominated by bogus market research firms or by extremely Left-leaning organizations who pander to their basic levels of insecurities and ideologies. For instance, an otherwise dependable data source such as CSDS is heavily infiltrated by Lefty ideologues at all levels, so one can see their biases in their questionnaire frameworks which eventually produces results that are more prone to their own ideologies.
5Forty3 in conjunction with CRI will create more right-of-centre ecosystems for poll surveys without compromising on our neutrality to data collection methodologies. One of the areas that we want to concentrate on, after the new government is sworn in, is to collect robust and dynamic opinion of India on a range of economic and socio-political issues. If, as is widely believed, a BJP led NDA government comes to power, then 5Forty3 and CRI would ideally like to play the role of providing a feedback chain to the new government through a methodology neutral, right-of-centre perspective analysis and opinion by continuously conducting surveys on important topics. This way, we would like to limit the damage that left-liberal Dilli media would inflict on the next government through their biased opinion making. In fact, this is the one area that would need our maximum vigilance in the next year or so as there are bound to be umpteen attempts to sabotage the next government.
If that is our medium term goal, our long term goal is to evolve as the most trusted election survey and analysis organization by continuously conducting poll surveys for state assembly and national elections. After the national elections in May, over the next one year, many Congress ruled states like Maharashtra and Haryana will be going to polls; if Congress loses these states then the party would go into terminal decline because of the simple reason that its purse strings would be cut off. 5Forty3 and CRI would be concentrating on these states to not only accurately analyse the election scenarios but also to disseminate neutral information for the right-of-centre political cause.
As we are standing on the verge of a new dawn of a centre-right political sunrise in India, CRI and 5Forty3 together would like to contribute to this movement by creating large data ecosystems. One of our first goals is to decipher the upcoming LS polls in April-May – our raison d'etre. 5Forty3 has already conducted opinion poll surveys in Karnataka, Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh in the last 2 months and is currently doing a survey in Maharashtra and Bihar while planning a survey in UP in the 1st week of April.
Our USP on poll surveys is that we release full methodology and undertake complete data disclosure so that our projections are beyond reasonable doubts, which is not practised by any other organization in India. Currently our Bihar, Maharashtra and UP surveys are costing us about 8 lakh Rs, of which we have funding of about 4 lakhs through third party sources (for whom we are conducting individual constituency level surveys). We have also earmarked about 50k Rs for the same activity from the capital that we have been able to raise through online contributions by the way of donations from readers of 5Forty3. Thus we are still short of funds by 3.5 lakh Rs for our pre-poll survey.
One of the problems with long drawn out elections spread over many phases that last for more than a month is that there can be considerable shifts in voter's choices over a period of time due to ever changing political scenarios. Thus, exit polling gives us far more accurate projections of voter behaviour than pre-poll surveys (as was seen in 2004 when most pre-poll surveys projected a NDA sweep which got corrected to a "close-race" by the time exit polls started releasing their data findings). So we would be doing a national level exit polling using our path-breaking methodologies of data collection. We haven't been able to raise capital for this very complex exercise which would provide us great insights into electoral patterns even as elections are unfolding.
Our current estimate is that we would need anywhere between 12 to 15 lakh rupees to conduct this exit polling exercise, depending upon sample-size and spread (details of the methodology etc. would be released on 5Forty3 and CRI by next week), which is only a fraction of the cost that many larger organizations expend. The table below provides likely expenditure. (We currently have a received/promised funding of 2-2.5 lakhs)
|Expense Category
|Budgeted Expense (in Lakhs)
|Ground Level Poll Administration
|Back Office Administration
|Other/Miscellaneous expenses
|0.50 to 1.00
For instance, NDTV and HANSA are reportedly spending close to 2 Cr for their two-three part nationwide opinion polling, while CSDS-Lokniti is supposed to have been contracted by the IBN group for a sum of more than 3 Cr etc.
We would be grateful if you can contribute to this and help in our cause to not only redefine Indian election analysis but to emerge as India's premium large data analytics organization in the field of public opinion over the next year or so.
Please consider supporting this initiative http://5forty3.in/

It's an exhibition game in early August.
One exhibition game in the hottest temperatures of the year.
But Sam Bennett, the Calgary Flames' top pick at this year's draft, is already expecting more of himself next time he hits the ice for Canada's world junior team during the summer development camp tournament in Quebec.
"I don't think I played my best," Bennett said of his performance in Canada's opener at the event Tuesday night.
"It was my first game in a while. I had some chances, but I'd say I was a little rusty. I'm really looking to improve my performance next game."
Bennett, who was reached Wednesday night while watching Canada defeat Russia 5-2 in Sherbrooke, expects to suit up Thursday when the Canadians face Russia a second time.
He was held off the scoresheet in Canada's first game, a 6-2 win over Czech Republic, but did draw a couple of penalties and fared well in the faceoff circle.
A meeting with the coaching staff Wednesday has given him a couple of things to work on next time around.
"A lot is playing away from the puck and competing hard," Bennett said.
"It's making sure you're not focused on the puck the whole time, knowing your responsibilities away from the puck.
"I'm going to take those (tips) and try to add them to my game."
Flames 2013 first-round pick Morgan Klimchuk is also at the camp, as are a trio of other Calgarians in defencemen Josh Morrissey and Dillon Heatherington and forward Brayden Point.
A trio of Hitmen, defenceman Travis Sanheim and forwards Greg Chase and Jake Virtanen, are also among the 40 players participating.
Team Canada concludes the tournament with another clash against the Czechs on Friday.
Understandably, you can imagine players such as Bennett are looking at the depth chart to check out where they fit when the team is chosen for the Christmastime tournament to be held in Toronto and Montreal.
"A little bit. Not a lot, though," he admitted. "You're definitely aware of all the players here and all the talent that's all here. I do notice it, but it's up to the management to make those decisions.
"Our team is really stacked. There's a ton of talent on the team, so it makes it a lot of fun to play. I wouldn't say it's easier (to play) but it's a lot of fun."
A lot of fun, but just the latest event in a busy summer for Bennett, whose off-season has included the draft combine, the draft, the Flames' summer game, world junior camp and working out.
"It can be tough sometimes, but it's all part of the process. There is a lot going, but I'm trying to enjoy it as much as possible," he said.
Besides, the junior standout from the Kingston Frontenacs will feel that much more prepared for the Flames training camp just over a month from now.
"It's another great experience under my belt," he said. "Any time you get to play with the best players in Canada against the best players around the world, it's going to help improve your game."

Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program Fulfills Need
- Aug 11, 2008
- Topics:
With the vision of a few caring people, in 2004 Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack in Farmington, N.Y., created the first Thoroughbred adoption facility run as a collaborative effort between racetrack management and local horsemen. They named it The Finger Lakes Thoroughbred Adoption Program (FLTAP), and operated with a goal of safely retiring horses that raced at their track and then placing them in suitable homes. Since its inception, more than 350 horses have been adopted.
In April 2008 the FLTAP took it one step further, when they opened the doors of the Purple Haze Center, thus becoming the first racetrack to build an adoption facility on its own grounds. A 10,000 square foot structure designed with 16 stalls, an indoor exercise center, horse wash bay and support and storage areas, Purple Haze also includes a 14,000 square foot fenced paddock area on two acres of land. Built by private donations and funding from the state of New York, the facility is a temporary holding place where horses can live and receive the care they need before being adopted. Purple Haze is run by program manager Carly Tangney.
"We do a lot here--care for them, ride them, train them--pretty much everything the horses need until we can find them a home," said Tangney, who started working for the FLTAP as an intern, but now works full time at Purple Haze. "We keep horses an average of about 30 days, but sometimes longer. The barns are always full. We can only take so many. There is a long waiting list--and we only accept horses from Finger Lakes. So you can see the need for more programs like this across the country.
"Aside from doing our part here, our goal is to get enough exposure so that other racetracks will see what we're doing and join us in opening their own adoption facilities."
Tangney says that despite the general perception that most of the horses that come to FLTAP are old and sick, the average age of a Purple Haze inhabitant is 3-6 years. Some come in with severe injuries that require immediate care, but most are just too slow to be successful racehorses, or have relatively minor injuries that prohibit them from racing.
Tangney says it cost about $10-15 per day to care for each horse, not including any needed medical care, such as surgery. The organizers generate the money through fundraisers, auctions, grants and private donations. Finger Lakes also donates $1 for every starter at their meet, and the Horsemen's Benevolent and Protection Association of New York matches that.
"Shipping horses is expensive, so some owners are grateful for what we do," Tangney said. "But there are still many that are sold and end up in the wrong hands. We can only do so much."
With an estimated 100,000 unwanted horses around the country--many of which end up in the horse slaughter pipeline--the need for more adoption facilities is obvious. It begs the question, why don't all racetracks have similar programs?
"That's a good question. I don't know," said Margaret Ohlinger, DVM, a racetrack veterinarian at Finger Lakes who co-founded the FLTAP with trainer Phyllis Shetron and horse owner Valerie Morrison. Last year, the FLTAP won the American Association of Equine Practitioners Equine Welfare Award, the Lavin Cup. "I'd like all racetracks to know that this is a very replicable process. We are a small racetrack, so if we can do it anyone can. It's just a matter of people taking responsibility and caring.
"One of the things that made this possible for us is the management at Finger Lakes, which has been very supportive. They were made aware of the problem of unwanted horses and decided to help us do something about it. That's the first step.
"But it's not just management. The owners and breeders need to take more responsibility for their horses. So many people profit off them, it behooves everyone to do right by them. It's the ethical thing to do. It pains me when owners wash their hands of their horses after they can no longer earn them a paycheck. Too many of them just put them on a trailer and they wind up at auction."

Amsterdam (Oct. 18)
Under the auspices of the board of the foundation for Jewish labor in the Wieringermeerpolder, land reclaimed from the Zuyder Zee, and of the Committee for Special Jewish Interests, James G. McDonald, High Commissioner for German Refugees, spoke here about the problems of refugees.
He expressed his sympathy with the work of Dutch Jewry in behalf of German Jewish intellectuals in physically creative professions.
Speaking of the emigration of Jews from Europe's centers, he recalled that his American Jewish friends in February, 1933, had said to him that Hitler was no real danger and that the German Jews, who had been in the main "100 per cent German," did not think so, either. Now the problem of migration and settlement in other countries for German Jewish youth is urgent, he declared, pointing out that more than £100,000 has been collected toward this end.
He was pessimistic regarding the status of German Jews and urged on the Jewish people, and particularly on the Dutch Jews, who already have given so much, to continue to help their unfortunate brethren, not only in Germany, but also in Poland and Rumania and the other East European countries.
He expressed his disappointment regarding lack of cooperation by Christian organizations, whose help has been insufficient, he said.
"Your example," he concluded, "gives new hope to the fugitives and the refugees."
The president of the Ashkenazic Jewish community in Holland and also of the Committee for Special Jewish Interests, A. Ascher, who presided, expressed the thanks of Dutch Jewry to the High Commissioner for his work, and declared that in Holland many Christians have made gifts toward the cause of German Jewish fugitives.
Dr. H. Lubinski, director of the working village Nieuwesluis, spoke of the retraining problem, while a motion picture, "A Day in the Jewish Working Village," was being shown.
"For the coming months," Dr. Lubinski said, "50,000 Dutch guilders will be needed to increase the number of the inhabitants of this village to 300."

text: Herd hangs on against Belmont By Tommy R. Atkinson December 19, 2011 Story Share HUNTINGTON - Marshall hopes someday to have the kind of NCAA tournament pedigree of Belmont, and the Thundering Herd took a step in that direction Monday night.The Herd held a comfortable lead most of the second half, then had to hold on and sweat out an 87-86 victory over the Bruins. A paid crowd of 5,759 gave the Henderson Center an NCAA tournament-like electricity in the last few minutes.After senior guard Damier Pitts missed two free throws with 5.3 seconds left, Marshall had to withstand a drive from Belmont junior guard Kerron Johnson, whose layup attempt hung on the rim before falling off as the buzzer sounded."I don't know how I missed the free throws, but we got back on defense and fortunately God was on our side and he missed that layup,'' smiled Pitts."[Belmont] had a lot of great shooters out there. They were getting us on the penetrate-and-shoot. That was hurting us. We have to do a better job of closing out on the shooters.''Marshall took leads of 13 points on two occasions midway through the second half, but Belmont junior guard Adam Barnes made two free throws to give his team its first lead of the game at 84-83 with 1:26 left. Pitts put the Herd ahead for good at 85-84 with an off-balance jump shot in the lane with 31.5 seconds to go.After Bruins senior swingman Mitch Hedgepeth missed two foul shots with 17.5 seconds remaining, Herd junior forward Dennis Tinnon knocked down a pair at the charity stripe for an 87-84 edge with 11.5 ticks left.Johnson was fouled as he brought the ball to midcourt because the Herd wanted to prevent a 3-point shot attempt that could have tied the game. Johnson connected on both free throws as Belmont closed to 87-86 with seven seconds remaining. Pitts was fouled after the Herd inbounded the ball, but the 66.7-percent foul shooter missed both free throws to set up the dramatic finish. While Marshall's defense allowed Johnson to penetrate the lane for the layup attempt, they did force the left-hander to take a right-handed shot, which trickled off the rim after rolling from back to front on the right side."It was great experience for our kids to get into a game like that,'' said Marshall second-year coach Tom Herrion. "You've got to find a way and we did."Good teams find ways to win different ways. Some nights you might win comfortably, but tonight we had a lead and didn't finish, then we did. We've got to continue to work on end-of-game situations, but you can't beat game experience.''Belmont, which lost to Duke 77-76 in its season opener at Cameron Indoor Stadium, has played in the NCAA tournament four times in the last six seasons, losing all its first-round games. Belmont nearly pulled a shocker in the NCAAs in 2008 when, as a No. 15 seed, it narrowly lost to Duke 71-70. "Our whole schedule is building us up to the NCAA tournament,'' said Pitts, who finished with 19 points, 11 assists and five rebounds. "Belmont is a great team and it's a good win for the program. We've just got to keep on working.''Marshall sophomore guard DeAndre Kane poured in a game-high 29 points on 12-of-22 shooting with four rebounds, four assists and two steals."[Belmont] never goes away,'' said Kane. "If you watch the games they've played, they're down 10 points almost every game. We got a little careless with the ball in the second half and they hit some big 3s and got back into the game.'' Tinnon added 24 points, including sinking all eight of his free throws, and landed 10 rebounds and blocked two shots for the Herd, which shot 47.8 percent from the field. The Herd shot 51.4 percent in the opening half as it built a 46-39 advantage and needed every bit of that as it withstood the Bruins' final flurry.Johnson finished with 18 points, including making all 10 of his free throws, to lead six Belmont players in double figures. The Bruins, who converted 25-of-29 at the charity stripe, held a 27-5 edge over the Herd in points scored off the bench, and shot 50 percent in the second half. Marshall looked as if it was going to put the game away about midway through the second half, taking leads of 66-53 and 70-57. From the 8:36 mark on, the Bruins began chipping away at the Herd's advantage, pulling within four points on four straight trips down the floor before taking a one-point lead on Barnes' two foul shots with 1:26 to go."If you're a fan it's a great game,'' said Belmont associate head coach Brian Ayers, who was filling in for head coach Rick Byrd after he was ejected from the team's last game."Marshall is a difficult team to go against. Their athleticism in the lane, their offensive rebounding, you've got to step up and make shots.'' Marshall, which played Belmont for the first time in school history, will visit the Bruins on Dec. 29 in Nashville, Tenn."I'm hoping my back goes out so I don't have to make that trip,'' joked Herrion. "These are the types of games that are going to help you get ready for conference play.''BrieflyBelmont competes in the Atlantic Sun Conference ... Byrd is in his 26th season as Belmont's head coach and owns a 617-337 career record in 31 seasons overall ... Marshall junior guard Shaquille Johnson needs 20 points to become the 48th player in school history to surpass 1,000 career points ... The Herd will host West Virginia University Tech at 7 p.m. Wednesday. That will be Marshall's third game in five days.

Melissande "Mel" Boudreau Bauer (as played by Yvonna Kopacz Wright on Guiding Light)
Useful information about Melissande "Mel" Boudreau Bauer
* Graduated from John Hopkins Medical School as valedictorian.
* Kept it secret that Jeffrey slept with Cassie while imitating Richard.
* Currently divorcing Rick Bauer.
Who's played Melissande "Mel" Boudreau Bauer over the years?
Yvonna Wright (September 2001 - Present)
Current and Past Occupation
Current: Lawyer in her own firm
Past: Doctor at Cedars hospital
Past: Legal aid for Harley's Angels
Past: Law clerk for the District Attorney's office
Past History
Mel came to work at Cedars hospital shortly after graduating medical school. She soon developed a relationship with her supervisor Rick Bauer after he protected her from an abusive ex-boyfriend. Their relationship took some time to develop due to his involvement with Harley and their son. When she finally went with Gus, Rick and Mel began dating, despite protests from her family. Their heavy work loads added stress to the relationship, but she proposed to him after their first night together. He happily accepted, but almost died during their engagement from a heart disease. In order to get him a heart transplant, she covered up for the possible murder of Richard Winslow so that she could take his heart. She was severely disciplined by the hospital administration until it came out that Reva pulled the plug on Richard. This combined with a little medical heroism (saving Eden August's life) led to her return to Cedars. Nursing Rick back to health brought them closer as did the announcement of her pregnancy, but she surprised everyone around her by announcing that she would now return to law school. With her new career, she devoted much of her energy to charity work and competition with Jeffrey O'Neil. She soon gave birth to Leah and found herself a helpful ally and confidant to the Cooper family, but, despite her growing place in Rick's life, the death of his best friend Phillip left him cold and distant. He soon looked to Phillip's wife Beth for support and this, combined with other deceptions and his involvement in Ross' death, further strained things. While the couple tried to sustain the relationship for the sake of Leah, she found herself unable to trust him anymore. The marriage collapsed completely when Jonathan announced that Beth and Rick were having an affair. She left him and the hospital, deciding to open a new law firm with Jeffrey.

Burch Farms
Faison, N.C.-based sweet potato grower-shipper Burch Farms, which grows on about 1,500 acres, is planning to up its acreage by about 10% in 2014, said Jimmy Burch, owner.
There are other changes planned, too, Burch said.
"We put in another new optical sorter — it takes a picture of it and takes out the defects," he said.
The company also installed new baggers from Vidalia, Ga.-based Giro Pack Inc. in time for the 2013 September-October harvest, Burch said.
California Sweet Potato Council
The Livingston-based California Sweet Potato Council launched a website, www.casweetpotatoes.com, in December, said Sarah Alvernaz, a member of the council's board and general manager of grower-shipper California Sweet Potato Growers in Livingston.
It's part of an effort by the council to engage in consumer marketing activity "for the first time in a while," Alvernaz said.
The council has gotten some guidance in the effort from the San Francisco office of global public relations firm Ketcham West, Alvernaz said.
"We wanted to basically get a fresh look and new foundation for our consumer marketing, so we created a new council logo and website and established our social media presence through Facebook and Pinterest," Alvernaz said.
The council's web activity was "minimal" before, Alvernaz said.
"We were on it but it was kind of one of those things that was just there and our investment was kind of minimal," she said.
Now, that has changed, she said.
"We're wanting to point out why, for example, you'd want to pay a little more for a California sweet potato, with a better skin and cleaner shape," she said "It's not to detract from any demand from any other state, but from a trade perspective, with California sweet potatoes, there is a significant difference to what's grown back East."
The council also is stepping up marketing in other areas, said Jason Tucker, a council member.
It's about showcasing uniqueness, he said.
"California's sandy soil, green environment, and warm-dry climate provide the perfect fit for a better sweet potato, not to mention the beautiful shape and rich colorful skin," Tucker said in a news release.
The council has unveiled a new logo, too, Tucker said.
California Sweet Potato Growers
California sweet potato industry pioneer "Sweet Potato Joe" Alvernaz, 93, died in November in a nursing home.
Alvernaz co-founded grower-shipper California Sweet Potato Growers Co-op with several partners in 1963. The company now is run by his sons, Jim and Ben, and grandson Matthew Alvernaz.
Joe Alvernaz, who was active in Livingston community organizations, served as president of the California Sweet Potato Council, as well as the U.S. Sweet Potato Council, of which he was a director for 10 years.
Alvernaz was the first California farmer to attend the National Sweet Potato Convention. He also served as president of the Merced County Farm Bureau and was a board member of the Nisei Farmers League.
Alvernaz enlisted in the U.S. Marines in World War II. His nickname, "Sweet Potato Joe" was given to him by his fellow Marine and close friend, the late actor Brian Keith.
Preceding Alvernaz in death was his wife of 64 years, Florence. She died in 2006.
Survivors include five children, a sister, 17 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren.
"Joe did a lot for the sweet potato industry," said Sarah Alvernaz, wife of Matthew Alvernaz and general manager of California Sweet Potato Growers. "He's definitely one of the pioneers, for sure."
Garber Farms
Technology continues to be a focus at Iota, La.-based sweet potato grower-shipper Garber Farms, said Matt Garber, partner.
Garber said the company continues to add "computer controls" to its warehouse space.
LSU AgCenter Sweet Potato Research Station
The Louisiana State University AgCenter Sweet Potato Research Station released two new varieties in 2013, said Tara Smith, extension specialist with the Chase-based organization.
Breeder Don La Bonte unveiled the Burgandy, a variety with red skin and "deep-orange" flesh, which Smith described as having "exceptional quality and a high sucrose content that is comparable to the Evangeline variety" and is "extra sweet." She noted it "stores extremely well."
The second variety, known as LA 06-52, has not yet been named, Smith said.
"This variety has strong uniformity with shape qualities and an attractive cooper skin," she said, noting that it also has a mild flavor and is suited to baking.
The center also has hired a new sweet potato specialist, Louisiana native Mavis Finger, who joined the organization in August.
Finger will take up former responsibilities of Smith, who accepted a new position as Northeast regional director with the LSU AgCenter in February 2013. In her new job, Smith oversees research and extension programs for 12 parishes and three research stations in the region, including the Sweet Potato Research Station.
Smith also is research coordinator at the Sweet Potato Research Station and the Sweet Potato Foundation seed program.
The Sweet Potato Research Station will host a field day Aug. 7, featuring updates on production, varieties and pest management. More information will be available on the station's website in coming months.
Mississippi Sweet Potato Council
The Vardaman-based Mississippi Sweet Potato Council is marking its 50th anniversary in 2014, said Benny Graves, executive secretary.
The council was organized in 1964 by grower-shipper J.R. Penick and Chester Hines, extension agent for Mississippi State University, when the business was beginning to evolve into its modern form, Graves said.
"Farming was changing and it was time to get some info shared among farmers how to grow new varieties and grow better," he said, noting that the council has focused chiefly on promotion, as well as cultural practices and variety development.
Nash Produce
Nashville, N.C.-based Nash Produce is contemplating a possible expansion of its line of packaging to meet growing demands, said Thomas Joyner, president.
There are ongoing efforts in the area of food safety and sustainability, as well, Joyner said, noting that the company already meets all requirements of the Produce Traceability Initiative.
"We continue to work with our growers to make the most environmentally friendly practices and so forth, and we're trying to make it work for everybody from the growers all the way to consumers and be well pleased with the product," Joyner said.
U.S. Sweet Potato Council
The U.S. Sweet Potato Council is moving from Columbia, S.C., and is getting a new leader.
"I'm 75, and it's time to retire," said Charles Walker, who stepped down as executive secretary Feb. 10.
The council's board of directors is searching for a permanent successor. Meanwhile, Jamie Earp, a partner in Earp Farms, Houlka, Miss., and president of the Mississippi Sweet Potato Council in Vardaman, is serving as interim executive secretary of the national council.
"Our main focus will remain on education, promotion and lobbying," Earp said.
The council's preference is to find a permanent leader from inside the sweet potato industry, but the search committee will consider a candidate from outside, Earp said.
Wayne E. Bailey Produce
Chadbourn, N.C.-based Wayne E. Bailey Produce Co. has hired Andy Pope as its chief operating officer, said George Wooten Jr., the company's owner.
Pope, who had worked with the company in a production role for three years, returned to the company in February after having taken a job outside the industry seven years ago, Wooten said.
Pope fills a new position, Wooten said.
"I'm CEO, and I brought him on to assist me in managing my managers," he said, noting that the company has Mike McGursky as chief financial officer; Adam Wooten, who is operations manager; George Wooten III, who manages the company's Columbus County, N.C., division; and Roger Lane, who heads up the Mason County, N.C., location.
Yagi Bros. Produce
Convenience is taking on increased emphasis at Livingston, Calif.-based Yagi Bros. Produce Inc., said Duane Hutton, manager.
"We're really emphasizing the easy preparation, the nutritional value and the variety of colors and tastes available for California sweet potatoes," he said.

Volunteers shovel much-needed paths in Syracuse neighborhood
Tue, 18 Feb 2014 02:34:18 GMT —
In the Elmwood neighborhood of Syracuse, sidewalks and a busy intersection at Valley Drive, Glenwood Avenue and South Avenue were impassable because of snow.
On Monday evening, Syracuse Common Councilor Bob Dougherty organized volunteers to shovel sidewalks in the neighborhood.
Dougherty had proposed implementing a $100 fine against residents who do not clear snow from their sidewalks. The proposal was voted down, but Dougherty is now helping to clear the sidewalks himself.
"We've got two schools, Corcoran and Roberts, right up the street," said Dougherty. "You know, there's a lot of school kids, and we thought this would be a good place to try to make it safer, is what it comes down to."
Neighbors say the area is difficult to walk through in the winter.
"I actually see the kids, that's who goes to school up there at Corcoran," said Willie Mitchell, who lives on Glenwood Avenue. I see them in the streets. "So, for them, it's a major problem. For me, it's probably not as much; only when I have to walk my granddaughter down to the store."
Volunteer Albert Sales said he came out to shovel because he's upset to see such conditions in the area. "There have been kids waiting for the school bus in the road," said Sales. "And that - I don't want to see in my neighborhood."

The City of Monterey Housing Programs Office is seeking proposals for the performance of property management services for the most qualified applicant to provide property management services for City-owned affordable rental properties. The City wishes to retain a firm with a proven track record. All properties will be located within the City of Monterey. The successful applicant will be expected to enter into a two-year (2) contract with the City, with a two (2) year option to extend. The deadline for submission is 4:00 p.m., Friday, October 20, 2017. Under no circumstances will late proposals be accepted.
For the past several months, the Peninsula Regional Violence and Narcotics Team (PRVNT) has conducted an investigation into members of a suspected street gang operating on the Monterey Peninsula. As a result of this investigation, search warrants and arrests warrants were obtained for multiple persons in Monterey County. On 9/18/17, members of the Monterey County Sheriff's Office SWAT Team, Salinas Police Department Violence Suppression Unit (VSU), Monterey Peninsula Regional Special Response Unit (SRU), California Highway Patrol, Marina Police Department, Seaside Police Department, Monterey Police Department, and PRVNT served warrants at locations in Salinas, Seaside, and Marina.
At Sports Camp Plus the emphasis is on fun and sportsmanship. With over thirty activities scheduled during the week campers in grades second through seventh will participate in a variety of sports such as basketball, football, soccer, floor hockey, swimming and more. Sign up now at the Monterey Sports Center. For further information call 646-3439.
Residential property owners are not allowed to advertise short-term rentals in the City of Monterey's residential zoning districts. The Monterey City Code (MCC), Section § 22-19.5 "Advertisement of short-term rentals" ordinance was passed by the Monterey City Council in April 2017.
CALL IF YOU CAN, TEXT IF YOU CAN'T... that is the message being spread by Monterey, Santa Cruz, and San Benito County emergency communications centers. You can now text 911 to reach emergency responders in the tri-county area. Texting to 9-1-1 can be a benefit to those who are hearing impaired or in a situation where calling may put them at a greater risk such as domestic violence, while hiding from an intruder, or in a vehicle being driven by a drunk driver.
Texting 9-1-1 should be used as a last resort as calling 9-1-1 is faster; text messages can take longer to receive and may come in out of sequence. Location accuracy isn't always as good as calling and, if you're roaming or the text can't get through, it will bounce back with a message saying "call 9-1-1."
Currently there are no language translation services available; all text messages to 9-1-1 must be in English using the Latin (regular) character set. The text messages should not include acronyms, emojis, or photos and they cannot be sent as a group message.
If you are deaf, hard of hearing or speech disabled and the service is unavailable, use a teletypewriter or TTY if available.
The Zumbini program combines music, dance and educational tools for 45 minutes of bonding, learning and fun! Zumbini classes always include a parent or legal guardian for each child. After registering, please contact Group Exercise Coordinator, Lauri Ataide at 646-3739 or firstname.lastname@example.com for instructions on how to purchase the $35 Zumbini class bundle needed for class (includes songbook/lyrics for class songs and a plush doll modeled after the main character). All other class instruments/equipment will be provided.
The City has been challenged in past years in achieving full conformance with HUD regulations regarding timely spending of CDBG funds. Active steps were taken in Program Year 2016 (PY2016) to address this problem and spend down the buildup of unspent entitlement funding and program income. Specific activities and spending plans were developed and implemented to spend down the fund buildup and meet spending goals established in the Program Year 2015 (PY2015) Action Plan and Program Year 2014 (PY2014) Substantial Amendment, while remaining aligned with the 2015-2019 Consolidated and Strategic Plans. In 2016 the City successfully completed the workout plan and met timely spending goals.

Five scientists spent a week in the wilderness to understand how heavy use of technology changes how we think and behave.

The biggest barrier to digital learning for teachers is gaining student access to technology. That's followed by a lack of time during the school day. For administrators, the top concern is providing relevant and effective professional development to their staff, followed by limitations and problems with the technological infrastructure, such as WiFi and security. Overall, across both roles, the main obstacle to integrating technology into the classroom was lack of time and an insufficient number of devices to do so.
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
I think the lack of local expertise and support is critical. Too often, I found the people who claimed to be experts were not.
Learning is a very human experience. To learn successfully, it requires us as human beings to exchange information, give and receiv
Via juandoming
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Teaching is a very human experience can also be part of the opening. How we use our tools is subject to this understanding.
Neither technophobia or technophilia is the right solution for our students. The real issue is the process of learning.
Via Ana Cristina Pratas
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
There should be more, but that assumes we move past a simple, narrow definition of technolo gy. Technology is from the Greek meaning art (techne) and logos (logic and word), suggesting it is conversation. Heidegger concluded it is a conversation between a craftsperson and their tools.
We want more conversation between teachers, as craftspeople, with, through, and about their tools.
More and more, it's clear these platforms create divisions, exploit our insecurities and risk our health, says novelist Matt Haig
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
There are some interesting points made in the article. First, social media becomes an echo chamber for ideologies. Second, if the only space we communicate with certain 'friends' is on social media it is commerce-based. Third, the risk of abuse is high.
Not surprisingly, some professors have banned computers from class. But research shows many remain conflicted about their value: in a 2014 survey by Richard Patterson and Robert Patterson of 90 professors at a liberal-arts school, 57 percent agreed that laptops enhanced learning, but 42 percent thought laptops decreased participation. Two-thirds of professors in a slightly larger survey from the same school had laptop-optional policies, and one in five required them for class.
Via Nik Peachey, Miloš Bajčetić
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
The etymology of the technology is a conversation between a craftsperson and their tools. It is about choosing the proper tool for the task at hand and learning how to use it well.
The study indicates there may be negative impacts on learning and using computers in classrooms.
Nik Peachey's curator insight, September 1, 7:07 AM
Sounds like some training is needed for both students and professors.
Unsure about how to gain permission to blog with your students? We have outlined a straightforward 3 step process to get you started.
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
An administrator I worked for (someone who spent little time in a classroom teaching) insisted we could blog without parental permission and their concerns were irrelvant. They are not. That is the best place to begin. What are their concerns and how do we, as actual classroom teachers (not posers) help educate them? Imagine the trust we could build with parents.
The idea that American workers are being left in the dust because they lack technological savvy does not stand up to scrutiny. Our focus should be on coordination and communication between workers and employers.
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
The article focuses on the need to prepare students for the work place, something I disagree with. Yes, as students move forward in school, they focus on what will get them there.
What Andrew Weaver points out is that as the work place changes so do how people prepare for and do work in new work places. What if we focused on a John Dewey way of preparing students? Perhaps, if we are well-prepared to adapt and continue to grow, we can continue to adapt and grow as adults.
"The civil rights movement has always been about ensuring that all people, regardless of race, sex, income, religion, or other factors, have equal access to opportunity. In today's world, technology is increasingly needed to access many opportunities. But not everyone has equal access to technology. The idea of digital equity as a civil rights issue has been raised, and many are calling digital equity the civil rights issue of our day."

It may not be "the" social justice issue of the day. It is definitely "a" social justice issue of the day.

When students did projects that might include parental supervision, I provided guidelines for parents i.e. be a consultant rather than do the project. The reflection questions point is excellent.
A guest post by Don Brown Blended learning provides today's students with some control over their own learning paths. By combining elements of a traditional classroom with digital learning (and student input and customization of that learning), students have more opportunities for success. Royd Darrington and Natalie Darrington are education leaders in Utah's Juab School District and Royd is the principal of Juab High School which was recently admitted to the League of Innovative Schools, a network of superintendents and administrators solving the challenges of K-12 learning through research and technology. This is a conversation with them regarding implementation of blended …

Teachers need support regardless of the model being used in a school.
Jillian Schaibly's curator insight, July 25, 9:50 PM
This article takes about the support of teacher for students. Having a blended classroom where you are able to open up and talk with student can encourage learning, students are able to create in a sense their learning. As administrator you need to understand the different types of learning techniques that can be used, and be able to support the teacher when using them.

"iGen (the generation of young people born between 1995 and 2012) is showing mental health issues across a wide variety of indicators. They're more likely than young people just five or 10 years ago to say that they're anxious, that they have symptoms of depression, that they have thought about suicide or have even [attempted] suicide. So across the board, there's a really consistent trend with mental health issues increasing among teens."

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
We confuse the word technology with tool. Hans-Georg Gadamer suggested when we narrow definitions we excise meaning from words. Martin Heidegger proposed technology (its etymology) is about a conversation between a craftsperson and their tools. Hannah Arendt warned against being controlled by every gadget we encounter.
When teachers take time and have a thoughtful conversation with, about, and through their tools, they embody a dialogue.
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Engaging each student in something that is deeply meaningful to them and they take pride in sharing means being present and mindful as a teacher.
That is hard to do, when you have 2800 students in a "cram school." Teaching is a very human enterprise and is relational.
"As districts across the country purchase technology at a feverish pace, they must ensure they have a solid implementation plan ..."

Pedagogy and pedagogic relationships are essential to teaching. Technology is a conversation about, with, and through ones' tools. It is about choosing the right tools for the job, therefore contextual.
Information in the ecosystem: Against the "information ecosystem"

This is a long, complex, academic article. It included references to scholars such as Walter Ong, Aldo Leopold, Jacques Ellul, Rachel Carson, Gregory Bateson, Aristotle, and David Abram.
Some of these authors i.e. Carson, Leopold, and Abram wrote about the environment. Others i.e. Ellul and Ong were philosophical and Bateson was trans-disciplinary.

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
"To craft good pedagogy, we need more than fancy chairs. We need to be vigilant."
Good teachers remain vigilant to the needs of their students. There are no routine tasks in good teaching and fancy chairs only act as the fidget spinners.
As smartphones have become more common, educators have struggled with the question of what to do with smartphones in the classroom. For K-12 educators, the answer has been to ban smartphones from the classroom completely. College professors have also banned smartphones in increasing numbers. But now there's some evidence to suggest that banning smartphones in the college classroom isn't such a good idea. A study conducted by researchers in Singapore found that undergraduate students who were allowed to keep their phones with them actually scored better on tasks that measured their cognitive functioning. Even when they weren't allowed to use …
Via Ines Bieler
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
The article is clear that using cell phones in a class is not a given. In K-12 settings, allowing students to have their cell phones is a way of teaching them self-control. Instead of banning them, teachers might consider using digital breaks everyt 30 minutes or so.
Elizabeth Hutchinson's curator insight, August 30, 1:15 AM
If professors/teachers found a way of integrating the phone into their lectures/lessons they will begin to be a tool for learning rather than just socialising. Small steps will lead to greater understanding and use.

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
How do we use this information to help ourselves and our students learn to use digital tools well in our teaching and learning. Technology is a conversation with, about, and through our tools. It is not the tools themselves.
From etale
Recently, I woke up thinking about language, how it can reflect and shape our beliefs and values. When we use contemporary metaphors about technology, for example, to describe the human brain, some can look at that as what a missionary might call contextualization. We are using the language of the day to communicate an important truth. However, modern metaphors are not neutral. They don't just help us explain. They also change how we understand something. As such, there are important considerations when we start to describe the human experience using technological metaphors, and when we begin to describe the technological using human metaphors or language associated with the human experience.
Via Miloš Bajčetić, Mark E. Deschaine, PhD
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
"Technological metaphors technologize the way that we think about education, and metaphors associated with life and humanity offer us another opportunity to humanize education. This is true even as we explore the benefits of learning analytics and big data, metric-driven learning, competency-based education, computer-assisted education, blended and online learning, or a dozen other developments."
The Buddha said "what we think we become." Metaphors have a way of doing that to us. We begin to think of schools as businesses, students as consumers, and teachers as entrepreneurs. What is interesting is that technology is a conversation, not a tool in the strictest sense of the word.
Rigor, data-based decision making may lead teachers to errors in assessing student learning. Find out how to address these issues thoughtfully.

Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's curator insight, August 15, 1:34 PM
This is an informative infographic for teachers. Good teachers continuously learn about their students and their needs.
We've all heard the warning cries: automation will disrupt entire industries and put millions of people out of jobs. In fact, up to 45 percent of existing jobs can be automated using current technology. However, this may not necessarily apply to the education sector. After a detailed analysis of more than 2,000-plus work activities for …

Empathy is not something that can be written up in a set of algorithms. I begin with that premise and it might be impossible to replace teachers with robots.
From medium
I believe statements such as these, that often make great Tweets, create compounding problems for educators. Technology isn't just "there". It doesn't just permeate the classroom like the air we…
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
"As teachers, we need to be professional about the decisions we make about technology use."
I agree with virtually everthing in the article. One key point is that digital tools and tools of any kind should not just disappear into the background. Our choices, as suggested in the noted quote, have to be thoughtful, well-planned, and caring. In short, teachers need to choose the right tool for the given moment.
The point about professional photographers in the article is valid. Good professionals take good care of their tools and are aware of them at all times.
Ivon Prefontaine, PhD's insight:
Well used tools can benefit teaching and learning. A key here might be the autonomy students experience, which can lead to them being responsible for their learning.

This week's changes to the Ecologist.org
10th March, 2011
Why we've made some small but important changes to www.theecologist.org
Our two previous sections, News in Brief and News Analysis will be amalgamated into News Focus. This is largely in recognition of the fact that the Ecologist's strength is, and always has been, covering stories in a way that others in the more mainstream media are unable to.
We want to look at issues in more depth and in a more critical fashion. Round-the-clock news and commentary can all too easily degenerate into 'churnalism' - where press releases, agency copy and other pre-packaged materials are churned out as 'news'.
You can expect stories reporting the unreported - and tackling quite often difficult or complex issues. You can expect more investigations. You can expect more photo, or data-led, pieces.
You'll also notice we've reorganised our content to better highlight the work of the world's campaigners and others involved in 'Making A Difference' - much of this material is unique to the Ecologist and again stands us apart from other, more conventional, outlets.
Over the coming weeks they'll be more important developments too - there's a number of special reports in the pipeline as well as new columns and features, which will ensure we build on 40 years of setting the environmental-agenda.

[Thought questions for Disciples and Scripture January 1, 2014]
1. Jesus and the Bible. Notice the caution built into the memory text. "Search the Scriptures;" it says, "for in them ye think ye have eternal life; and they are they which testify of Me." (John 5:39). Read verse 40 of John 5 as well. Does the Bible bring us eternal life? If not, what is our only source of eternal life? Does the Bible play a critical role in our obtaining eternal life? What is that role?
2. The Authority of Scripture. Without the testimony of Scriptures in His ministry on earth, could Jesus have been able to help us fully understand salvation? What about the time before Jesus life on earth? What did God provide as teaching tools before the complete Scriptures as we know them today were available? Why do so many people consider the flood, creation, and the resurrection of Christ to be nothing but myths? What would you do if you couldn't obtain access to the Bible?
3. Public Proclamation. How was Jesus' view of Scripture different from that of the Israelites attending the synagogues when He came to earth? What problems surface when we spend too much time looking in the Bible for rules and standards for behavior? Or is that the primary purpose of the Bible? How can God know our inner feelings, our thoughts, our sinful inclinations and still come to us "with tender compassion"? How is God's attitude towards us sinners radically different from our attitude towards the sinners around us?
4. Personal Ministry. Does your church or congregation have a "personal ministries" department? As a member or regular visitor of your local Adventist church, do you have your own personal ministry in addition to supporting the organized work of the local church? Should you? Your lesson guide states that Jesus opened His ministry with teachings from the Old Testament. Why? Can we do more than we are doing to share the Bible with others? Should we start with passages of Scripture that are more familiar to all in our hearing? Or should we delve in deeply to reveal the mysteries of the Word?
5. The Next Generation. Following the example of Jesus, what should our attitude be towards the Scriptures? The lesson guide states, "Scripture touched every facet of the life of the early church." Does it today? What about our own ideas and experiences? Aren't they just as important in giving the church a sense of direction? How can you and I experience the thrill of reading and praying for understanding of the Word of God? Do we open the pages of your Bible with a sense of anticipation? Or do we rush through the passages we read without helping ourselves to the fruit of God waiting for us there?
6. In the New Year. What plans do you have for the Bible and you in 2014?

Less than a year ago, she nearly died after complications with her gastric band.
But now trades union activist JoAnne Rust has her eyes on another prize, completing the London Marathon next month.
Ms Rust, 47, from Gaywood, says she is inspired to take on her first 26-mile run following her near-death experience.
She said: "Last year I nearly died and now I have got this opportunity that at the time I would never have thought I would be able to do. It is just an amazing chance."
Ms Rust will be raising money for the children's charity the NSPCC. So far she has had sponsorship to the value of £800, but she is pledged to raise £2,000 and is confident she can get it and is particularly thankful to the support offered by the Hanover Housing Association.
"Training has been going really well," she said. "I did a long run on Friday up to 17½ miles and expect to step up to 22 miles."
She has done one half-marathon before but had never dreamed of doing a full marathon. "I love it ... not only is it really good for your health but I find it really helps to settle your mind and relax as it gives you a good chance to think things through as you are running along."
To sponsor Jo go to her Just Giving page or text JORS47 £1 to 70070. "I'm asking people to give a quid to help a kid," she said. "I know it is really tough at the moment, but I feel everyone can give a quid for this."

Summary:Having bought a set of RAC forged CBs with a very light Japanese NS Pro steel shaft I have played with them since 2004. Results are mixed as I love the feel and manouverability of the club, but have lost some 5-10 yards in distance. Of center hits are a real pain, but a oversize club head would not satisfy me as much as the RAC cb. I have switched now to the TM Tour Preferred 2009 irons and cant believe the improvement, inspite of not being forged irons anymore.
The RAC cb is simply good but old technology.

Summary:Got these clubs off ebay for a great bargin at $320. They have TT DG S-300 +1" and 2 degrees up. After about 10 range sessions to get used to them, I have now played three full rounds. Shot 79 today on a very tough course. I would never have been able to do this with my old sticks.
These clubs let you work the heck out of the ball. I used to never be able to work any club under 6 iron. Not any more. Today I drew a 9-Iron perfectly around some trees to set up a birdie.
They are suprisingly forgiving too. They look like blades at address but if you miss the sweet spot left or right you will not lose to much distance. Now if you catch them thin then you will pay.

Here's what you want to know about Andhra Pradesh's bifurcation
After being together for around 58 years, Telangana and Seemandhra parted ways on Monday. The united Andhra Pradesh state was formed on November 1, 1956, by the merger of these two regions.india Updated: Jun 02, 2014 09:01 IST
After being together for around 58 years, Telangana and Seemandhra parted ways on Monday. The united Andhra Pradesh state was formed on November 1, 1956, by the merger of these two regions. With Telangana becoming the country's 29th state, here's a ready reckoner on some interesting facts about the two states post-bifurcation.
Chief ministers: K Chandrasekhara Rao will take oath as the chief minister of Telangana at 8:15am on Monday at the Raj Bhavan in Hyderabad. The CM-designate for residual AP, Nara Chandrababu Naidu, will take oath on June 8 near Guntur in Seemandhra. The residual state will retain the name Andhra Pradesh.
Governor: The present governor, ESL Narasimhan, has been given charge of the two states.
President's rule: Central rule was imposed on March 1 in Andhra Pradesh after N Kiran Kumar Reddy resigned as the CM of the state. President's Rule was lifted in Telangana on June 1 midnight, while it would continue till June 7 in Seemandhra.
Capital: Hyderabad will serve as the common capital for both states for 10 years. Thereafter, it will be in Telangana. However, the Seemandhra capital is expected to come up in a couple of years - most probably between Guntur and Vijayawada (two major towns separated by about 35kms). Till then, the government buildings in Hyderabad will be shared by the two states.
Secretariat: A, B, C and D blocks of the present secretariat would house the Telangana government. Rao will operate from the CM's chamber in the C block. On the other hand, H, J, K and L blocks would house the Andhra Pradesh government. A CM's chamber is being prepared in L block for Naidu. Both secretariats will have separate entrances.
Assembly: The old assembly hall has been given to Seemandhra, whereas the present assembly hall has been handed over to Telangana.
Police chief's office: Telangana has got the present DGP office. Seemandhra's director general of police (DGP) will sit in the adjacent CID building.
Employees: Most of the 12 lakh employees (some posts vacant), including the police force of the united state government, will continue to serve in their positions at the zonal, district and below levels. All-India service (IAS, IPS, IFS) officers, the staff of the state secretariat and offices of heads of departments in Hyderabad have to be distributed between the two states. Final orders are awaited. Around 9800 employees of the secretariat and HoD offices will serve the Telangana government. The Centre has ordered 44 IAS and 31 IPS to work for Telangana.
Finances: Telangana would acquire a surplus budget, while Seemandhra would begin with a deficit of about Rs 14, 500 crore.
