Brockman Memorial Tree Tour
This tour is dedicated to the memory of Professor C. Frank Brockman (1902-1985), who capped an influential, productive career in forestry and outdoor recreation by producing in 1980 the original University of Washington tree tour. Edited by Louise M. Hastie, that eight-page publication featured 81 campus trees, and had to be reprinted by popular demand. Along with the tour, Brockman authored five articles about campus trees for the U.W. Arboretum Bulletin. In 1968, the year he retired from the U.W. College of Forestry (now the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences), his best-selling "Golden Guide" to Trees of North America was released. Brockman's enthusiasm and love of sharing knowledge suggests he surely would welcome this new campus tree tour.
About 480 different kinds of trees beautify the U.W. Only twenty-eight are species native on campus. Since before the turn of the century, forestry professors, botanists, gardeners and landscape architects have planted native and non-native trees for decoration and education. The campus community views trees as valuable resources, studies their ecological roles, and admires their fascinating variations and seasonal transformations. This tour is an online adaptation of the original tour designed by Suzanne Hellmuth and Jock Reynolds. It introduces you to the great green realm of a campus renowned for its lovely landscape. Use the map, or the list of trees below the map to jump to small articles about each tree on the tour. May you gain information and inspiration.

The C. Frank Brockman Memorial Tree Tour is a project of the Washington State Arts Commission's Art in Public Places Program, in partnership with the University of Washington. This public artwork is but one element of a larger public artwork conceived and created by visual artists Suzanne Hellmuth and Jock Reynolds. The two wooden bus shelters on Stevens Way, set amidst the Deodar Cedars growing at the entrance ways to the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences and the Medicinal Herb Garden, were also designed by Hellmuth and Reynolds, collaborating with Hollinger Architecture, Inc. and artist Kurt Kiefer. The construction of the shelters was carried out by Fabrications Specialties, Inc. of Seattle, Washington. Complementing the bus shelters, as yet another element in Hellmuth's and Reynolds' project, is the nearby and Friends of the Medicinal Herb Garden Volunteer and Information Center, a structure also designed and built by the team listed above.
It is the artists' hope that these new campus amenities will be enjoyed by many students, faculty, and staff members of the University, as well as by public visitors and returning alumni. This website is intended to increase personal and public appreciation of this extraordinary living botanical collection. The C. Frank Brockman Memorial Tree Tour will reward a committed stroller with some good exercise and a solid overview of the many tree specimens flourishing on the campus of the University of Washington. Additionally, a quiet stroll through the Medicinal Herb Garden will provide one with restorative time for contemplation and a chance to learn from one of the largest thriving public herb collections extant in the Western Hemisphere.
These fine botanical resources and others exist on the UW campus due to the commitment of the University and the hard work of many generous volunteers. Carly Thornburg wishes to thank the following individuals: Al Wagar, David Campbell, Caroline Rosevear, Thomas Mentele, Dr. Bill Schnall, Bill Brockman, Sara Shores, Cesar Escobar, Kristine Kenney, Howard Nakase, Maryann Baron Wagner, Richard White, Frank Fujimoto, Gina Hills, Cecilia Paul, and Nevada Smith. Suzanne Hellmuth and Jock Reynolds wish to thank the following individuals and entities who have helped bring their public artwork to life: Sally Abugov, Richard Andrews, Steve Archie, The Atlas Construction Specialty Co., Inc., John Chmelik, Dr. Dale Cole, Lee Copeland, Doug Ewing, Jan Gagnon, Dr. Stan Gessel, Beth Herman, Karin Hirschfeld, Brandt Hollinger, Jon Hooper, Arthur Lee Jacobson, Kurt Kiefer, David Marberg, Gerald McGuinness, Robert Murase, Carla Okigwe, George Rolfe, Robert Shrosbree, Simpson Strong Ties, William Talley, Larry Tate, Dr. David B. Thorud, the University of Washington Public Art Committee, Michael Williams, and Olivia Yang.

In a recent interview with the Financial Times, Twitter co-founder Biz Stone repeated what's become a stock line for him: "Twitter should be considered a triumph of humanity not a triumph of technology."
The San Francisco microblogging service has almost certainly, on balance, been a positive force for humankind — a handheld printing press, megaphone, news wire and public bulletin board for anyone who can afford a cellphone.
But for every act of citizen journalism on Twitter helping to foment revolution in repressive regimes or assist people in a tragedy, there are dark and depressing examples of how human nature plays out in 140 characters.
Such was the case this weekend in the Twitter feed of Clara Jeffery, co-editor of Mother Jones.
On Saturday, Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, described as the the most lethal sniper in American military history, was shot and killed at a Texas gun range, reportedly by a former Marine suffering from post traumatic stress disorder.
Jeffery tweeted: "So much for good/talented guy with a gun being able to stop mentally ill guy with a gun."
It was an apparent rebuttal to NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre's now famous quote in the wake of the Newtown tragedy: "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun."
But the reaction to Jeffery's tweet was swift and vicious, soon turning misogynistic and threatening, particularly after the responders realized she had a child. You can read much of the unedited responses here (or if you dig down here).
But these are a few of the nastiest lowlights:
"Erase those disrespectful tweets now you dirtbag motherf—– An American patriot lost his life tonight. You will regret this," wrote @HeidiL_RN.
To which one wonders, RN as in nurse????
Apparently unaware of what Mother Jones actually does, @HeidiL_RN later called for campaign to have Jeffery fired from the progressive San Francisco magazine.
One Rev. Norman Price, going by @StopAtheists, wrote: "How do you even have a child you big ugly dy–? F—- you, f—— slut. Hell awaits!"
He followed that up with: "Keep praying for God to intervene in Clara's life and cause tragedy."
To which one wonders, Rev. as in reverend????
Bruce Fleeger, tweeting as @Fweegy, said: "I hope everything bad that can happen to your family happens x3 and you get to watch it all you disgusting POS."
There was an underlying point to many of the tweets: Don't politicize the tragic death of a military hero.
But see how easy that was to say that without calling someone a slut, speculating on her sexuality, questioning her abilities as a parent, praying for tragedy to befall her family or cryptically saying she's "going to regret this?"
This isn't the language you use when trying to persuade someone to come around to your point of view; this is the language you use when the goal is to bully someone into silence.
It's all the more disturbing because this behavior has become the template for attacks on women who "dare" speak their minds online.
See here or here or here. Or here or here or here.
"Until women can participate without experiencing what @ClaraJeffery experienced, let's stop pretending there's a 'debate' about gun control," tweeted Jamil Smith, a contributor to the New Republic.
But this isn't just about sexism. The episode also reflects the general state of political debate in this country, less a constructive exchange of ideas, more a partisan shouting match amplified by social media.
But I'll tell you, watching the argument scroll by tweet by tweet, one side was a whole lot less constructive than the other — and it was the one that leaped to sexist slurs and threats.
In the longer run, they're undermining their own cause. Gun advocates who can't hold their fire on Twitter make reasonable people wonder about their ability to do so with the real deal.
As a pure PR strategy, praying for violence is not the way to assure people you can be trusted with assault weapons and high capacity clips.
Or as Paige Velthouse tweeted to Jeffery: "Geez, these people tweeting you remind me why we need better and stronger gun laws."
For any responsible gun owners who think these people paint you all in a negative light, you're absolutely right — so you should be first ones shouting them down.
The only good news in all this is that many, many people on Twitter also rose to Jeffery's defense, offering her encouragement, virtual hugs and pictures of adorable babies and dogs.
It was at least a mini triumph of humanity.

Last season the Knicks went 3-0 against the Washington Wizards. Tonight, the struggling Knicks will look to keep that trend going against the winless Washington Wizards.
Here are some things to watch for:
- The Knicks transition defense must be good tonight. With John Wall, one of the most athletic point guards in the NBA, the Wizards will look to pick up some transition baskets tonight against the Knicks notoriously bad transition defense. The Knicks must limit transition baskets against an athletic Washington team if they want to handle the Wizards tonight.
- Melo and Amar'e must be efficient tonight. The Wizards are not a strong defensive team and should not have the ability to slow down the Knicks stars. That being said, New York must get some ball movement and get Fields, Shumpert and Douglas going early in the game. Stoudemire and Anthony will need to get others involved and not play inefficiently tonight. Tonight shouldn't be a night where Melo will be forced to shoot 30 times. This game is a great opportunity to get the offense going by involving everybody and collectively making shots.
- D'Antoni's Bench. Last game against Charlotte, coach Mike D'Antoni played a short 4 man bench (Jorts got 3 minutes so basically a 3 man bench). In this shortened, compressed season D'Antoni has to be careful with the minutes his stars play. Stoudemire and Chandler have had injury problems in the past and playing them each 40 minutes against bad teams is not a way to remedy that.
- Fields/Shumpert. If Iman Shumpert shines again while Landry Fields falters, Knick fans will again be calling for Shumpert to replace Fields in the starting lineup. Hopefully Fields will begin to play better because I really believe Shumpert should be coming off the bench. His scoring ability is great to have off a bench that seemingly has nobody who can score with any consistency. I look for Shumpert to play about 25 minutes tonight coming off the bench.

Franka - Gangsterfilm
Henk Kuijpers was born in Haarlem and raised in Santpoort-Noord. After finishing his studies in sociology, Henk Kuijpers published his first short stories in the magazine Pep and the sole issue of Baberiba. Pep then published his longer story 'Het Misdaadmuseum' in 1974-75, and when Kuijpers was asked to do a sequel, he focused on one of the female characters to take the leading role. This marked the beginning of the career of Kuijpers' trademark series, 'Franka', which was published in Pep's successor Eppo from 1975.
Franka - Het Meesterwerk
Franka is an elegant young woman with a passion for sports. She experiences many strange adventures due to her career as an archeologist. Introducing a woman protagonist in an adventure comic was a brave stroke, but Kuijpers became famous through her creation.
Franka - De Tanden van de Draak
'Franka' appeared subsequently in Pep, Eppo, Wordt Vervolgd, Sjors en Sjimmie, Sjosji, Veronica Magazine, MYX and in the relaunched Eppo, as well as in a series of albums since 1978. A couple of stories were also published in Spirou magazine in the early 1980s. Albums in the French language were published by Dupuis and later Les Humanoïdes Associés.
Franka - Het zwaard van Iskander
Henk Kuijpers is a realistic comic artist who works in a Clear Line style with a great sense of detail, especially in his backgrounds. In addition to 'Franka', Kuijpers does a lot of advertising assignments, among others for Margriet magazine. In 1997, he launched Franka Magazine, an information magazine about his famous character and its author. Kuijpers has been self-publishing his 'Franka' albums since 1999.

micro*scope, http://microscope.mbl.edu, is a communal website that promotes information on the biodiversity of microbes. It includes images, descriptions and taxonomic classifications of microorganisms—both prokaryotic and eukaryotic. The content of the website is freely available for educational use. It currently features almost 11,000 images!
Inside micro*scope
- Images: micro*scope currently contains almost 11,000 images of microbes - prokaryotic and eukaryotic. All images are freely available for educational use.
- A download button on each organism (asset) page allows you to access larger files of the image (e.g. TIFF, PDF) for use in presentations and reports.
- Collections: When possible, each image is placed into a collection of similar images.
- Descriptions: All organism (asset) pages in micro*scope are accompanied with two types of descriptions. The description to the right of the image is a general description of the taxa—usually at the genus level. The description below the image is specific to only that image. It includes information about the organism, as well as where it can be found, what type of microscopy was used, name of the individual that contributed the image, and more.
- Classification: Below the image on the left-hand side is a link to the underlying CU*STAR database. Clicking on the link will pull up the taxonomic classification for this particular organism.
- Link*outs: These links appear on the right-hand side of the page and direct users to other informational pages about this organism. Clicking on the Ward's link, for example, will direct you to educational resources offered by Ward's Natural Science. The NCBI link will direct you to taxa-specific molecular data, PubMed will pull up related literature, and so on.
- Screensavers: There are currently 4 sets of microbial screensavers available. They may be downloaded from the micro*scope home page under News.
- various microbes from the Microbial Life digital library
- marine microbes brought to you by the International Census of Marine Microbes
- microbes from extreme habitats brought to you by the NASA Astrobiology Institute
- microbial imagery from the Bay Paul Center.
- Glossary: A dynamic, image-rich glossary of protistology, microscopy, and general microbiology terms is accessible via the left-hand navigation menu.
micro*scope Structure
micro*scope has a hierarchical structure. There are databases that contain images, names, classifications, and descriptions of organisms. These pieces of information are joined together to form web pages about the organisms. One type of page emphasizes an image with a caption, organism name, name of parent collection, a description of the organism, link*outs, downloadable images, a button that will allow you to make comments. A second type of page emphasizes the classification. The contents are grouped together in collections - each usually coming from a different contributor. Collections are then organized by concept. This structure allows visitors to find information either by typing a name into a search box, or by browsing by concept (or alphabetically or by the classification scheme). Browsing allows you to make increasingly refined choices about which assets you want to see. The site is also assembling an illustrated glossary which can be accessed through the search button in the left hand menu bar.Back to Top
Finding Information in micro*scope
There are many ways to find information in micro*scope. If you know what you want, use the search functions - either on the home page or in the left-hand menu bar. Browse allows you to navigate progressively towards information of interest. You may browse organisms alphabetically by genus name, by taxonomic classification, and/or by recent additions to the website. You can also browse through the collections using an alphabetical listing or by concept.
- Browse Organisms Alphabetically
This feature allows you to browse micro*scope by genus name. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left-hand navigation column to select browse / organisms / alphabetically. The alphabet and page numbers across the top will guide you through the entire collection of representative genera. You will find that there is a lot to chose from. Select an image to view all pages within a particular genus.
- Browse Organisms by Classification
This feature allows visitors to browse organisms by hierarchical taxonomic classification. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left-hand navigation column to select organisms / by classification. In the classification box, select either viruses or cellular life. A drop-down list will appear. Select desired group and a second drop-down list will appear. You may continue to browse through the classification structure until you find the group/organism of interest. The classification we use is called CU*STAR and is a system that is still under development.
Note: We don't have pictures for all organisms in the classification structure. If micro*scope contains an asset page for the selected group/organism, images will appear on the right-hand side of the page. Click on an image to access its associated asset page. If descriptions are available, they will appear in the middle of the classification page above the link*outs. In those cases where we don't have images, you can always use the linkouts to find information at other web sites.
- Browse Organisms by Recent Additions
This feature allows you to view the latest images added to the micro*scope database. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left-hand navigation column to select organisms / recent additions. A page of recent additions will appear. Select an image to view detailed information.
- Browse Collections Alphabetically
This feature allows visitors to browse collections alphabetically. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left hand navigation column to select browse / collections / alphabetically. The alphabet across the top will guide you through all of the collections. Select a collection name to access related asset pages.
- Browse Collections by Concept
This feature allows visitors to browse collections by concept, or theme. For example, concepts include freshwater, marine, sediment, extreme, and so on. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left hand navigation column to select in browse / collections / by concept. A brief list of concepts will appear on the left-hand side of the page, including geography and habitat. Select a category. A new page will appear listing all concepts within the chosen category. Select a concept to view a list of collections. Click a collection name to access asset pages housed in that collection.
Search micro*scope by using the search button on the top of the page or by the left-hand navigation bar. You may search for the names of organisms within the micro*scope website and its underlying classification structure, or search for keywords in the glossary.
- Search the Site
This feature allows visitors to search the entire micro*scope site by taxon or keyword. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left-hand navigation column to select search / this site. A search box will appear at the top of the page. Simply type in the name you want to find and select the search button. Results will appear in three categories: the CU*STAR database, formal descriptions, and image captions. Select a name from the CU*STAR database to access the taxonomic classification for the organism/group or select a name listed under descriptions or image captions to view the asset page featuring the search term.
- Search Glossary
This feature allows you to search for terms in the glossary. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left-hand navigation column to select search / glossary. A search box will appear along with an alphabetical browse menu. Either click on a letter to browse the glossary or enter a keyword in the search box to locate a specific term. There is often a picture with each term - and if you need to know about a term that isn't in here, send an email to the site administrator (email@example.com) and they'll try to add the term to the glossary for you.
- Search Classification
This feature allows visitors to search the underlying classification index CU*STAR for any taxon. Begin on the home page of micro*scope. Use the left-hand navigation column to select search / classification. A search box will appear at the top of the page. Simply type in the name you want to find and select the Search button. When the results appear in the new window, select the name you want and click the Jump button. A hierarchical classification structure will appear below.
micro*scope Terminology
- Assets are pieces of information to be included (in databases) within micro*scope. Currently, most assets are images but micro*scope is set up to allow for considerable flexibility as to the kinds of assets that may be included in the future. Assets are usually placed in collections.
- Asset pages contain information and tools about individual taxa. Each asset page contains the asset (usually an image), name of organism, name of parent collection, general description, caption, link*outs, downloadable image button, links to a classification page, comments, PDF button, and additional assets.
- Classification - within the context of the micro*scope, classification refers to the hierarchical classification of organisms - a biological classification.
- Concept hierarchy is a hierarchical arrangement of assets. This is useful in allowing visitors to find assets by providing a limited number of opportunities to navigate through the hierarchy and make increasingly refined choices about which assets they wish to see. Concept hierarchy is an alternative means of finding assets to 'search' and is appropriate to visitors who have an imprecise idea of what they are looking for. It is created through the hierarchical arrangement of collections, and within micro*scope this is flexible and open-ended.
- Collections are hierarchical organizations of assets within micro*scope. Assets (such as images) are placed inside collections (such as 'Flagellates of Botany Bay'). Collections may be placed within other collections to create one or more hierarchical organizations of assets.
- Content Certified Link*outs offer taxon-specific links to external databases and web sites. The link*outs are selected by experts and so provide a means of accessing information that has been peer-reviewed. Content-certified linkouts will only be visible if there is information at the remote sites. Link*outs are mapped to the underlying CU*STAR classification system so that visitors are guided to other sites that may have content on the same organisms, and are not directed to sites that are not taxonomically relevant. Use link*outs to access external publications, cultures, images, and much more.
- Contributors are those contributing assets to micro*scope or names and taxonomic expertise to the CU*STAR classification structure.
- Database - a repository of electronic information. Data is located within tables, and tables are comprised of records, and records may contain one to many fields. In micro*scope, the databases are built in mySQL software. A table might, for example, contain information on images, and a particular record relating to a picture of a rock in the Eastern Sierras might have fields with the name of the image, the person who took the picture, the location of the image, and a description.
- Descriptions are located on asset pages and on the CU*STAR classification page. They offer characteristics of the taxon, in general, and are not specific to a particular asset. Descriptions are drawn from a database called Bio*pedia.
- Downloadable Images, if present, will cause a zipped tif version of the image to download to your site. The images (sometimes you will get more than you expect) that are downloaded are usually much larger than those on the web site—few are under 2MB. These images are suitable for uses other than display on a computer monitor; you may use them as presentations, posters, student documents, etc. The tif format for the images has been selected for images because it is not a lossy format, but you will probably find it easier to manipulate large files if you convert the image to a jpg image—for which you will need to use a graphics program such as Photoshop. If it is not feasible, a right mouse click on the image on this site will open up a menu which will allow you to download the image which you can see on the screen. This is a 72dpi jpg image, and is suitable for display on a computer monitor. Downloadable files are freely available for educational purposes. Commercial users should contact us.
- Images are generally 400 x 350 pixels, 72 dpi, jpgs. Information regarding the type of microscopy used to obtain the image can be found in the last sentence of the image caption. Images are available in high-resolution and may be downloaded for free use by educators, students, and other non-commercial users. Commercial users need to make contact with the site manager - email@example.com
- Image Captions are long descriptions written by the contributor of the image. Information is specific to the image and includes a description, location of where the sample was collected, type of microscopy used, and individual(s)/institution to be credited.
- Link*outs initiate taxon-specific searches into external databases and web sites. Link*outs are selected by experts and so provide a means of accessing information that has been peer-reviewed. Link*outs are mapped to the underlying CU*STAR classification system so that visitors are guided to other sites that may have content on the same organisms, and are not directed to sites that are not taxonomically relevant. Use link*outs to access external publications, cultures, images, and much more.
- Taxa (plural taxon) refers to taxonomic groups or entities - one taxon, many taxa.
- Visitor - a person visiting the micro*scope web site

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – A 14-4 final two periods proved to be the deciding factor as Birmingham-Southern College (5-2) defeated men's lacrosse (0-1) by the final score of 21-10 Sunday afternoon in the 2012 season opener for the Beacons.
After an extremely close first half, which saw Birmingham Southern holding just a one-goal lead at the half, the host Panthers took control in the second half as they tacked on four goals in the third and then 10 in the fourth to take the victory.
Having a day for the Beacons was freshman Donny Delpha (Walpole, Mass.) who scored four goals while also picking-up one assist. Leo Ajemian (Walpole, Mass.) was second on the team in points as he drove home three goals and also had one assist. Domenic Fichera (Scituate, Mass.) was also a multi-goal scorer as he finished with two in Sunday's contest.
For the Panthers Jacob McPherson scored a game-high six goals, while also assisting on two others. John Sommerall and Erik Klein each had four goals to help fuel the victory.
In the cage, goalies Anthony Fitti (Havertown, Pa.) and Henry Bristol combined for 13 saves respectively. Andrew Huffman finished with six saves to earn his fifth win of the year. Delpha also led the Beacons in face-offs as he picked up 10 of the team's 11. Sommerall was strong on the face-off x as he went 19-for-27 overall.
Andrew Guy (Northbridge, Mass.) collected a game-high nine groundballs, with Delpha finishing right behind him with eight. Sommerall tallied a team-leading eight groundballs for the Panthers.
Through the first two periods the two teams battled for control of the scoreboard as they battled back-and-forth. Delpha scored the first goal of the season for the Beacons on an unassisted play in the first three minutes of the contest. UMass would get three more goals and would lead at the end of the first by the score of 4-3.
In the second the Beacons would get two goals, while the Panthers managed four of their own to take a 7-6 lead into the intermission. The third period was when Birmingham Southern started to pull away from UMass as they jumped out to a three goal lead, which would then carry over into the fourth as they outscored 10-3.
Lacrosse returns to action on Wednesday when they travel to their second Alabama opponent in Huntington College. Start time is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Russia has faced Western criticism over a law banning "propaganda of non-traditional relations," which gay rights groups say has given a green light to harassment and intimidation. The law has prompted activists across the world to demand a boycott of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in February.
In his 70-minute televised speech from an ornate Kremlin hall, Putin pledged to defend traditional family values, which he said were the foundation of Russia's greatness and a bulwark against "so-called tolerance — genderless and infertile."
He lamented the "review of norms of morality" going on in many other countries.
"This destruction of traditional values from above not only entails negative consequences for society, but is also inherently anti-democratic because it is based on an abstract notion and runs counter to the will of the majority of people," Putin said.
Quoting early 20th-century Russian philosopher Nikolai Berdyaev, the president said conservatism does not stop society from progressing but "prevents it from falling backward into chaotic darkness and the state of primitive man."
This statement was met with enthusiastic applause from the audience, which was comprised of lawmakers, judges, religious leaders and federal and regional officials.
Putin is believed to be a devout Christian, but it is only in recent years that he has taken a stand to promote conservative values and the Russian Orthodox Church as he seeks to consolidate his support base.

The origins and politics of Israel's refugee debate
An in-depth look at the historical and political developments that shaped Israel's current African asylum-seeker crisis — and one way to resolve it that meets Israel's own needs while doing right by those who most need its protection. African asylum seekers in Israel have brought their struggle into the limelight in recent weeks.

Just a few hours after a triumphant visit to Mali by France's president, French troops launched airstrikes on Islamic militant sites around Kidal and Tessalit in the country's north, a French Defense Ministry official said Sunday.
French troops bombarded arms and fuel depots in the two northern cities from Saturday night into Sunday morning, according to a defense official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to speak to the press.
The official said "[the strikes] were targeting logistical arms and fuel depots near the Algerian border." But he could not confirm that the latest attacks also targeted armed Islamist training camps.
In an interview with the Sunday's French weekly Le Journal du Dimanche, Malian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hubert Tieman Coulibaly, expressed the government's hope that the French military operation carry on until the Islamists have no more weapons left.
"Faced with seasoned fighters whose arsenal must be destroyed, we wish the mission to continue," Coulibaly said. "Especially given how important the aerial dimension is."
Hollande visited Sevare, Timbuktu, and Bamako Saturday to a liberator's welcome, just three weeks after France unilaterally launched a military intervention in order to stem the advance of the Al-Qaeda-linked fighters in Mali. Since then French troops have succeeded in ousting the rebels from the three main northern cities they occupied, including the fabled city of Timbuktu.
Though Hollande stressed the successes of the French intervention, speaking in Bamako Saturday he recognized continued threats of extremism.
"Terrorism has been rejected. It has been chased, but not yet beaten," Hollande said.

The Tennessee Titans were shredded in a 51-20 loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday. It was the type of comprehensive defeat that leaves an organization asking deeper questions -- and the owner circling the wagons.
Bud Adams is not a young man. The Titans head honcho told The Tennessean he couldn't recall as grisly a loss in 50 years of owning the team. Adams accused the Titans of being "grossly outcoached and outplayed" and vowed to make changes if the ugliness continues.
The result is fear. One Titans coach told Mike Freeman of CBSSports.com that a feeling of anxiety has set in.
"Everyone is scared. We're all looking over our shoulders now," the coach said. "When I say everyone, I mean everyone. There is a sense of panic now throughout the organization."
Relive every game this season online and on-demand with enhanced viewing features, including the "All-22" coaches film. Get NFL Game Rewind.
The assistant told Freeman that coaches are quietly hunting for other jobs in case of a potential mass firing after the season.
Tennessee is on pace to become just the fourth team in NFL history to allow 500 points in a season, and there is no deception in that figure: The Titans have been that bad on a weekly basis. The free-fall might be fierce.

Roxburgh Gorge Trail
The Roxburgh Gorge Trail is one of the 23 Great Rides under Nga Haerenga, The New Zealand Cycle Trail.
Status: Open
Grade: Easy (2)
Duration: 1 day
Total Length: 34km
The Roxburgh Gorge Trail will be a spectacular one-day ride between Alexandra and the Roxburgh Dam along the Clutha Mata-au River, linking with the Otago Central Rail Trail and the Clutha Gold Trail.
Within a short distance from Alexandra the trail heads into the gorge. Along the trail are old schist huts built into the rock by Chinese miners and remains of two small mining settlements.
The Roxburgh Gorge has bluffs rising almost 350 metres on either side of the river at its most dramatic point and has been described as New Zealand's own "Grand Canyon". Opening up this gorge, which has no road access, will open up access to a truly iconic environment. Near Roxburgh Dam the hills become less steep and the swirling currents of the river are replaced by the still waters of Lake Roxburgh.
The opportunity to explore well preserved mining relics set within an imposing and inspiring landscape will appeal to a wide range of people looking for a great one day ride.
The trail's proximity to the Otago Central Rail Trail and the proposed Clutha Gold Trail will also ensure that visitors to the area will have the opportunity to experience even more of Central Otago's unique scenery.
Best time to ride
The trail will be open throughout the year. Spring to autumn (September-May) will be ideal times for passing through the gorge. A highlight will be in late spring when the hillsides will be covered in purple with flowering wild thyme. In late summer and autumn the celebrated colours of Central Otago will provide a graphic contrast to the dry hillsides and schist outcrops.
Getting there
The trail starts from Alexandra, with a car park located on Poplar Grove, which is off Earnscleugh Road on the Bridge Hill side of the Clutha Mata-au. It will end at the Roxburgh Dam, 8km north of Roxburgh. Please note that mobile coverage in the Roxburgh Gorge is patchy at best.
Trail partners
The trail is a joint initiative of Roxburgh Gorge Trail Charitable Trust and The New Zealand Cycle Trail project.

I wanted to start a thread about running Linux (Any distro) on the ideapd y470. Here is what I have discovered so far...
The NVidia GeForce GT 550M GPU (http://www.nvidia.com/object/product-geforce-gt-550m-us.html) cannot be accesed. X windows is using the discrete Intel GPU post install. There is a project to switch on/off the discrete gpu in linux called acpi_call. There is another called byo-switcheroo but I gather the author does not have hardware to support Optimus NVidia GPUS. So I guess (?) acpi_call is the only hope for this make/model. I have uploaded DSDT files (which are a disassembly of DSDT.dat files) from a lenovo ideapd y470 to:
as suggested at:
If anyone is able to get NVidia X windows display to work on an ideapd y470 please post how you did it here? Did it work at full resolution? 1366x768?
I also tried bumblebee but it did not work since acpi_call didn't work. I belive bumblebee uses acpi_call internally so that makes sense. So... so far failure on three points... I could not get the nouveau driver to work either... bumblebee is like an optimus technology but for Linux in case you were wondering what that was.
Also, the 2 usb 3.0 ports on the left side of the ideapad y470 do not work "out of the box" with Red Hat Linux. (Either fedora or CentOS 6). To fix this in Red Hat:
create a file: /etc/sysconfig/modules/xhci_hcd.modules
echo -n "Loading xhci_hcd module..."
if /sbin/modprobe xhci_hcd
echo "SUCCESS"
echo "FAILURE"
chmod 755 /etc/sysconfig/modules/xhci_hcd.modules
This will load the module for usb 3.0 support at each boot in a red hat type OS. Not sure about other distros.
xhci_hcd is kind of experimental in Linux and it has some bugs. So sometimes you may to may need to rmmod it. Definately want to do that before hibernate or suspend operation. Then modprobe it again as you wake up. So with this hack the usb 3.0 ports are good to go.
Wireless and bluetooth transmitter worked fine under CentOS 6.0 and fedora 14. Its a very nice laptop other than the GPU problems in Linux.
Hopefully we can figure out how to get the NVidia GPU to work. Either alone or with bumblebee. Its too bad it doesn't work as the ideapad y450 was a most excelent portable Linux gaming rig. But using the intel drivers with y470 you can't even play minecraft.
I still have one working y450 so I can wait a few months before I give up completely and sell the y470. Cheers.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I just want to chime in and report that I have not been able to get the Nvidia GT550M card that came with my Ideapad y470 to work in Ubuntu 11.04.
Seems to work really well in Windows, however.
I would love it if someone had detailed instructions for getting this working.
I am happy to say there has been some progress on the NVidia graphics issues. Information can be found at:
I just wanted people to know this machine may yet work with hybrid graphics. It seems the ideapad y470 is a bit "different" then some other manufacturers makes / models with respect to optimus calls. This is why it has taken so long to get it working.
Ironhide for ubuntu is apperently a dead project and so bumblebee is the way to go for hybrid graphics on Linux. Unfortunately it only supports ubuntu or arch linux at the moment but fedora support is reported to be on the way soon.
acpi_call is still around but I gather its not as useful.
If people have sucess please post to let us know what you did and what distro you are using?
May be of interest to people following this issue...
I wanted to post pack to this thread about this make/model of notebook. I guess I would say I am satisfied with this solution. I have ordered a second ideapad y470 laptop which should arive by mid march. I need to have a second notebook for my work.
Please see:
This solution works for the Lenovo Ideapad Y470/Y570 make model. So..
If you use ubuntu, debian, gentoo or arch linux, you can install bumblebee packages and also bbswitch via your distro's packages.
You can "build" acpi_handle_hack (its not hard, really!) and you will have working a bumblebee setup.
If you use another distro like me, you can build it from source code. See:
Lastly, my thoughts about this system. See:
It took a while to get working but I am happy with my lenovo Y470 laptop. It has become my main Linux machine.
I am a Linux sysadmin so I run Centos 6 as my distro of choice. I need to have business type apps that work well such as google chrome for GMail, Firefox 10 for having another browser, and Openoffice.org 3.3 for wordprocessor, calc, impress, etc. I use NXclient to connect to remote sessions and rdesktop to connect to a windows system we have at work. I use KVM on a laptop a lot. I use criKet wireless to connect to work when my pager goes off and I'm in the middle of nowhere... (usbmodeswitch library works well with cricKet usb modems) I needed a powerful laptop with a good amout of RAM. I own a Y450 with NVidia Geforce that still works fine but that you can't order any longer...
The y470 seems like a much sturdier machine compared to the Y450. It also seems to run cooler or have better heat tolerences than the Y450 did. At least so far. I haven't tried to compile dolphin emulator yet which will be the ultimate test...
I have been using this laptop for about a month. I have been using bumblebee for about a week. I do not dual boot. So I wiped windows 7 off the laptop.
Besides using my system for development and work stuff I also like to do some "light" gaming in my spare time. Keyword here being light. also watching DVD movies. I have some games working on the new system with and without optirun depending on the game and so far things are going well with getting games working on the new system.
In some games, I tested "sauerbraten" a first person shooter, you will see warnings such as:
"Could not set gamma"
"sd: Gamma correction not supported on this visual"
Which is probbaly a side effect of VirtualGL:
"bumblebee" relies heavily on VirtualGL so that is just the way it goes. "sauerbraten" looks pretty cool / nice visuals on my system and seems fast, like ~120 FPS but maybe if you were super picky you would nitpick that? For me bumblebee is an acceptable solution. I mainly play old school games through emuilators and minecraft. So I would recommend this system to a Linux person who knows what they doing and isn't afraid of doing a little compiling to get "hack-lenovo" working.
Using optirun with minecaft I go from 30 fps to about 60fps which I am happy with. I'm more happy with teh fact that using optirun gets rid of glitches in the intel driver that can be kind of bad with minecraft.
(/usr/bin/intel_reg_write 0x9404 0x00001800 at bootup (rc.local) helps a bit with this)
The USB 3.0 ports seem a slightly buggy but thats probbably my distro. I think I have a workaround I can try for that.
I will probbaly build build bumblebee rpm packages for fedora/ CentOS/ RHEL / scientific linux at some point but I'm not sure when. Perhaps by end of march. I'll post here if I end up doing that before someone else does. Enjoy. I hope maybe this helped someone.
One last thing, the VGA out and HDMI out both work fine in Linux in case you were wondering about that. Some hybrid graphics laptops evidently have issues with the HDMI ports but thankfully the Y470 is not one of them.
Sorry, one last thing today that is IMPORTANT...
DO NOT INSTALL "acpi_handle_hack" on ANY SYSTEM other than a LENOVO IDEAPAD Y470 / Y570. It can mess up your machine and could be dangerous. Read the warnings in my link above please.
This is an old thread and so I am not sure whether the OP will see it. From the picture I see that you get a frame rate of 1100 fps. This is with Bumblebee and optirun.
I have a more than 5 years old laptop with GeForce Go 7300 with 256Mb video memory. Even that gives me a frame rate of 3300 fps with glxgears.
As I have read, VirtualGL causes a drastic drop of framerate( compared to native framerates ). Is that why you have only a frame rate of 1100 fps with glxgears ?
I am intending to buy a Lenovo laptop with an Nvidia graphics card. But this Optimus thing really leaves Linux users only with a crippled graphics card.

The GKK 2011 Annual Meeting was called to order at 6: 31 P.M. on Saturday, May 14, 2011. About thirty-five GKK members were in attendance.
Opening remarks recognized the contributions of Yamakura Shihan and particularly the seminar provided that day. Thanks also went to Mr. Mark Cramer for procuring the facility and to our contingent from Illinois for assistance with the promotion.
It was announced that programs have recently been established in Armenia and Germany. Our thanks go to our CEO Mr. Ed Myers for facilitating their membership and a welcome to our new members.
Highlights from the annual reports of several of our member countries were then presented.
Next was the Treasurer's Report. Our income and expenses remain about equal and reflect past years performance. Copies of the Treasurer's Report are available upon request.
The recipients of this year's prestigious Chairman's Award were announced and a brief summary of their contributions to the GKK stated. Awards were presented to Ms. Deb Crawford (USA) and Mr. Gustavo Munoz (Argentina).
Special recognition was given to Mr. Greg Dodge for his outstanding work on our website. There have been many updates and improvements incorporated recently and all members should check it out. An exclusive autobiography by Izumikawa Kanki Sensei procured by Mr. Jack Coleman also appears there.
New Business includes:
Mr. Mark Cramer requested consideration and clarification on our position for Junior Sho-dan awards. Mr. Cramer presented a clear and compelling presentation of the need for Sho-dan certification for some of those under the age of sixteen. There was general agreement. Our current position is that minimum age for full Sho-dan is sixteen years of age, and by extension, the minimum age for Ni-dan is eighteen. Our long standing practice is that Sho-dan may be awarded prior to age sixteen with the stipulation that confirmation testing is required at age sixteen. Resolved.
Mr. Dan Taylor supplied a very well written proposal for review and consideration of two potential organization enhancing suggestions. These are: (1) standardization of our kata practice to align with the JKF; and (2) obtaining GKK membership in an international organization such as FAJKO Goju-Kai or D.N.B.K. It is important to note that suggestions of ways to enhance our GKK are sought out and appreciated.
(1) After some discussion, it was reported that our initial agreement with Yamakura Shihan stipulates he is the GKK Technical Authority and exclusive source for our training including kata. We will abide by that agreement as a matter of honor as well as expressing our appreciation for what defines us as an organization. It was resolved that our members are allowed to learn and practice the JKF versions of the kata for use in various non-GKK events, but that competency in the training precisely as presented by Yamakura Shihan is required for promotion.
(2) After some discussion of international membership for the GKK, it was decided to send it to committee for further investigation. The committee consists of Mr. Dan Taylor, Mr. Rich Stamper, Mr. Ken Maunz, Mr. Mark Cramer, Mr. Dave Shanemen, Mr. Dwight Scales, Mr. Ed Myers and Mr. Ed Boyd. The recommendation of the committee is to be submitted by 9-1-11.
After requesting additional new business (none) and making closing comments, it was motioned and seconded to adjourn at 7:14 P.M.

I'm not so big on birthdays, but it's the best excuse (and really, any excuse is good enough) to bake a cake. Even if it's my own one. This may not look like a glamorous birthday cake, but it sure was tasty! Spelt flour really gave more flavour and texture to this cake, so I will most certainly be using it in baking again.
This really is such a nice cake, and not least because of the beautiful rhubarb. It's not a difficult cake to make, and once again no electric beaters or other electric kitchen equipment needed! You could serve this with cream or Finnish vanilla sauce, or have on its own like I did. Either way it will make the birthday girl happy!
(Recipe adapted from Waitrose)
225g spelt flour
200g ground almonds (almond meal)
220g brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 small, preferably organic orange, zest finely grated & juiced
2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
75g unsalted butter, melted & cooled
2 large eggs
250ml (lactose-free) milk
300g rhubarb, peeled & washed, cut into small pieces
3 tbsp demerara sugar
Preheat oven to 190C. In a large bowl, combine the flour, almond meal, sugar, baking powder, orange zest and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. In a another bowl, whisk in the eggs with melted butter, then whisk in milk and orange juice. Add the egg mixture with the dry ingredients and fold to combine thoroughly. Grease a 22cm round baking tin, and pour in 1/3 of the batter. Top with half the rhubarb, then add another 1/3 batter. Top with the rest of the rhubarb, then scrape the rest of the batter on top. Combine the rest of the cinnamon with the demerara sugar and sprinkle the mixture evenly on top. Bake for 50 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Check after 30 minutes and cover with baking paper if the top starts getting too brown.

$200 Double Your Money Winner!
| Jim Friend
Pepperell, Mass.
For approximately $30 in materials and three hours in the shop, Jim Friend was able to fabricate a rounded edge for his plow blade. Cutting the slot along the pipe was the most time-consuming step of the process. Jim used a cutting torch but says a plasma cutter would certainly be quicker. The simple retrofit is easy to slip on and off the plow blade. Jim, with help from his wife and daughter, raises beef cattle on Sunnyside Farms.
Plow Edge for Uneven Surfaces
Around our farm, we have a lot of non-paved roads and barnyards to clear after snowstorms. If the ground isn't frozen, the cutting edge of the plow blade gouges too deeply and creates an even bigger mess. I decided to retrofit my plow blade using a 2" steel pipe cut the length of the blade. I cut a slot in the pipe lengthwise and slipped it over the standard edge of the blade. I then welded a couple of steel straps with a hole in the end so the pipe can be bolted to existing bolts in the blade. The result: a 2" rounded cutting edge that can installed or removed in minutes.
Tire Jack Mount
Since our trailer is often away from home, we made a mounting bracket for a tire jack on the neck of the trailer. The jack foot rests in a "pocket" made from flat iron welded to the bottom of the trailer neck. Next, weld an all-thread bolt to the trailer that slips through the jack's lifting holes. Make a homemade handle out of a small piece of pipe welded to a nut that will thread onto the bolt. Set the jack in the pocket, making sure the bolt goes through the hole, and tighten down the handle so the jack is secure.

Tarp Bow Deflector
Tarp bows on a semitrailer or wagon often deflect and spill grain when filling a truck that stops in the wrong spot. I added a 6"x8" piece of rubber belting around the tarp bow mounts to deflect grain back into the trailer where it belongs. When rolling the tarp back down, the rubber pieces are notched and flexible enough to fold flat.

April 6, 2013
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – No. 5 Florida State (26-5, 9-5 ACC) suffered its second shutout loss of the season in falling to Miami (21-13, 6-8 ACC) 6-0 Saturday night on Mark Light Field inside Alex Rodriguez Park.
The win for the Hurricanes snapped a four-game losing streak to their in-state rivals, while it evened the all-time series at 63-63-4 when the two schools square-off in Coral Gables. The shutout was the first for Miami in the series since blanking the Seminoles 10-0 back on April 14, 2004 in Coral Gables.
The Seminoles could not solve Bryan Radziewski all night long as the junior southpaw went 7.0 strong innings scattering just four hits as he improved to 4-1, while lowering his season ERA to 0.78. Radziewski allowed just two runners past first base and both times it was DJ Stewart, who reached third base in the fourth inning and got to second in the sixth.
"Well there is just no question, if you saw it you know the story of the game," said head coach Mike Martin. "Radziewski just did a great job tonight. It's as good a job as I have seen done on us all here. You really got to tip your hat to him, he shut us out.
"Over and over he threw his breaking ball for strikes. He kept his poise out there on the mound the whole time. He just dominated us."
Eric Whaley worked the final two innings to preserve the win. Whaley allowed two hits and two walks, while striking out one.
Stewart was the only Seminole to record multiple hits Saturday night finishing the game 2-for-3 with a pair of singles and a walk. Ladson Montgomery, Brett Knief, Giovanny Alfonzo and John Nogowski each picked up a hit in the loss.
FSU starter Brandon Leibrandt suffered the loss and fell to 4-3 on the year after working 4.0 plus innings Saturday night. The sophomore southpaw allowed five runs on seven hits as he walked three and struck out three.
"He is just a control pitcher, there is no doubt about it," said Martin on Leibrandt. "He cannot walk three guys in four innings of play. He is still going to be fine. We are going to keep giving him the ball."
Brandon Johnson worked an inning in relief and was charged with a run on a hit as he walked one.
Jameis Winston tied a career-high with 3.0 innings of work retiring all nine batters that he faced. The freshman right hander struck out one while throwing just 34 pitches. Winston struck out the first batter that he faced and then recorded five groundouts and three fly outs.
"Jameis really was impressive," said Martin. "Here is a guy that hasn't pitched since Tuesday and he did a good job out there."
Miami wasted very little time cracking the scoreboard in game two with a run in the first to take an early 1-0 lead. Chris Barr led off the inning with a single to center off Leibrandt, moved to second on a sac-bunt by Alex Hernandez and scored on an RBI single up the middle off the bat of Chantz Mack.
The Hurricanes added to their lead in the third on a two-out solo home run by Hernandez. The junior second baseman took a 2-1 pitch from Leibrandt out of the park to left for his first career home run to give Miami a 2-0 advantage.
Stewart opened the top of the fourth with a single up the middle but was left stranded at third after Radziewski recorded a strikeout and back-to-back groundouts to maintain Miami's two-run lead.
Miami pushed its lead to 3-0 in the fourth on another two-out hit this time off the bat of Tyler Palmer. With runners at first and second following an infield single and a walk, Palmer sent a base hit back up the middle. Seth Miller came up firing to the plate but Alex San Juan slid just in front of the tag by Stephen McGee to give the Hurricanes a three-run cushion.
The Hurricanes threw a three-spot on the board in the bottom of the fifth to take a commanding 6-0 lead. Barr and Hernandez reached on a walk and a bunt single, respectively, to open the inning chasing Leibrandt from the game. Johnson came on and after recording the first out of the inning on a sac-bunt by Mack, loaded the bases by intentionally walking San Juan.
Two pitches later, the Canes scored their first run of the inning when Johnson hit Michael Broad on the leg to bring home Barr. Designated hitter David Thompson followed with a two-run single to center but Miller threw on to third to get Broad for the second out of the inning and in the process picked up his sixth outfield assist of the season. Johnson got Dale Carey to fly out to center to end the inning.
Florida State and Miami will return to the field for the third and final game of the series on Sunday, April 7 at 12:00 noon. The game will broadcast live on ESPNU.
Fans can listen to the game on the All-Access player and locally on 100.7 FM. As always, Seminole fans can follow the Noles on twitter @FSU_Baseball and remember to like the Seminoles on Facebook (www.facebook.com/FSUBaseball). Live stats for the game will be available via gametracker.

Remarks at the Final Global Settlement Press Conference
Chairman and CEO
Let me first thank and acknowledge Chairman Donaldson; Steve Cutler, his very able Enforcement Director who led these negotiations; Eliot Spitzer and Beth Golden and their first-rate team; Dick Grasso and David Doherty; Christine Bruenn who so capably represented all the states; and from NASD, our Vice Chairman Mary Schapiro and our team of investigators and enforcement attorneys led by Barry Goldsmith -- many of whom are here today -- whose substantive contribution to this matter was second to none.
Today marks an ending, but even more, a beginning. Because in finalizing this settlement, we take a giant step on the road to restoring and renewing investor confidence.
The final resolution we announce today is a good one for everyone, everywhere, who has a stake in the integrity of the U.S. capital markets.
The sanctions on the firms and individuals involved in this settlement are among the strongest and most substantial in the history of securities enforcement.
In levying these fines and ordering these structural changes, we have sent an unmistakable signal that analyst research cannot be merely a servant of investment banking, and that hot IPOs cannot be doled out to corporate insiders as virtual commercial bribes.
We have also underscored that firms act through individuals, and that individuals will be held accountable for their misdeeds.
Consistent with these principles, beginning in 2000, NASD has investigated and brought charges in more than a dozen other important analyst and IPO allocation cases against individuals as well as firms. Indeed, two cases against individuals are settled as part of this global settlement. And we are continuing to investigate and develop cases against those who have violated their supervisory or individual responsibilities to the investing public.
Today's settlement, along with these enforcement cases and the new rules that are in force or on the way regarding initial public offerings as well as analyst research, will go a long way toward ensuring that these problems are solved -- not only at the large investment houses that are party to this settlement, but throughout a diverse industry.
Building on these efforts, NASD will now look at additional rules that will make good regulatory sense and work throughout our capital markets to assure that markets are honest and are capable of continuing to raise capital for companies that need it.
Let me say in closing that if there is one thing that is proved by today's settlement -- together with all the attendant publicity and lost investor confidence -- it is that playing by the rules is more than good ethics, it is good business. That is a hard lesson, but it is one the participants in this settlement now understand clearly.
And that is good news for every investor and issuer who wants to participate in the most liquid and developed capital markets in the world.
Thank you.

Things have been a little hectic lately, and I have been a HORRIBLE blogger!!!
So... Let me catch you guys up on what been going on!
So... Let me catch you guys up on what been going on!
I gave birth to this beautiful baby girl on February 24, 2011.
I went in the hospital early that Thursday morning ready to get my epidural and have a C-section.
Turns out, an epidural wouldn't work on my back due to a previous back surgery years ago so they had to put me to sleep.
Since they were putting me to sleep, nobody could go back with me:(
So they roll me back into the room with all the nurses and doctors and I was FREAKING OUT to say the least. They had to give me some anxiety medicine because I was so worried I was going to wake up in the middle of surgery. Well they put me down with just general anesthesia, and about 20 minutes later they woke me up and put Kinsley in my arms.
The pain was SUPER bad because they couldn't give me any pain meds when they put me under because they could've hurt Kinsley.I was in so much pain from them cutting my stomach open I didn't even want to hold her so I gave KM to my mom until my pain meds kicked in.
She was 6 lbs 11 oz and 18 inches long, and completely beautiful. It is definately true when people say it is love at first site, it was unreal how much love I had for her and she was only minutes old!
I was determined not to stay in the hospital very long so that night I told my nurse I wanted to get up and walk around so I could start earning some strength back, it was pretty difficult, but like I said I was determined!
I got to leave the hospital that Saturday and Kinsley was down to about 6 lbs, she had a pretty bad case of jaundice BUT we fought it and now she is 10 lbs at 9 weeks!!!
I'll show you guys some pictures of our journey the past 9 weeks.
Here she is at 4 days old.
This was her first bath I got to give her at home!!
Kinsley Mae at 5 days old, so alert!!!
We are still in the hospital in this picture, her little bandaids on her hands where her iv's were:(
2 weeks old! She is SUCH a happy baby!
Good Morning!!
1 month old!
5 weeks!!
Smiling at her mommy!
All smiles!
9 weeks!!
To say the least I am a little obsessed with her and take pictures CONSTANTLY!! I am so happy to finally have everything organized (well organized enough for right now) so I can get back in blogger world!! I hope all of you have had a great past 2 months!! If anything exciting has happened PLEASE fill me in on your lives while I have been absent!!! Miss you guys!!!
