The American Roll Cover is designed to expertly fit virtually every make and model of pickup truck sold today. Our roll cover has been uniquely engineered to adapt to roll bars, and accommodate both factory and aftermarket accessories. Simply stated, the American Roll Cover will fit your truck like a glove!
The American Roll Cover is double wall constructed using strong, lightweight aluminum. The cover alone is able to support an incredible +500lbs! In an effort to reduce scratching, the cover is finished with an attractive and durable textured powder coating. Finally, a unique, flex-tube water drain system and wider side rail seals ensure that unfavorable weather conditions will not lead to rust, or mechanical problems. Our American Roll Cover is designed to increase the durability of your truck. We are so confident that we offer an unheard of 2-year warranty!
If you did not worry about protecting your cargo, you would not be carrying it with you. The American Roll Cover features a specialized locking system that keeps your load safe and your truck bed secure. Whether you are driving down the road, or browsing the shelves of the local hardware store, your cargo will be where you left it and in the condition you left it in.
The American Roll Cover is cleverly designed to accommodate various cargo needs. The retractable cover is tension driven for ease of movement, and has an automatic stop and lock point every 12 inches. This means you have the option of an open truck bed, a closed truck bed, or a partially open truck bed to provide just the right amount of cargo coverage and security anytime.
We took an already great truck cover and made it better! Our covers have been working for truck owners for over ten years. The American Roll Cover has been successful in all weather conditions, and has been used to protect every conceivable cargo. Your feedback has been invaluable during this process! Our innovative research and design team has been hard at work striving to make the best cover better. Redesigned for the discerning truck owner, driven by consumer feedback, made in the USA – the result is an evolution of perfection!
Our roll cover is designed to install in 1 Hour or less. This will minimize down time in an effort to maximize production.
Worry free security! The secure locking system ensures that the cargo you leave in the truck bed will be in the truck bed when you need it.
Our designers wanted a cover that was strong enough to meet your needs. The result is a strong, yet lightweight, aluminum cover with double walled sections.
Wait until you see our cover on your truck! The high quality, textured powder coating and low-profile lid gives our cover a 'notch above the rest' look.
Save your efforts for the task at hand! The retractable cover is tension driven and expertly adjusted to allow for ease when opening and closing.
Keep the cover clean and it will last – it's as simple as that!
We could not find the exact clamps we needed, so we designed and manufacture them ourselves!
Our textured powder coating makes our cover more scratch resistant than any other. Today's pickup trucks are stronger and more luxurious than they used to be. Our special finish is designed to add strength when you work and looks when you play.
We wanted to show you how confident we are in our cover with our full 2-Year Warranty. You will not find this level of product confidence anywhere else.
While no one can claim to make a 100% waterproof retractable tonneau cover – our extra wide side rail seals and 4-way drainage system improve the weather seal between our cover and your truck bed like none other.
Like the cover sections, the lid is constructed of double sectioned, lightweight aluminum and finished with our textured powder coating. The result is a low-profile lid with unmatched strength and durability.
Our canister is constructed of heavy-duty galvanized sheet metal. It might be the smallest on the market (8×8 inches) but it's the strongest. The sides of the canister and mounting brackets are a one-piece construction that reduces flex, increases strength and cuts down on installation time.
We know your truck cover needs are not always as simple as opened or closed. Our ingenious locking system provides an automatic stop and lock point every 12 inches!
Our Keyless Entry Quick Release feature provides very convenient access to your load. This feature enables you to open your cover simply by releasing your tailgate and pulling on the custom-made molded plastic "T" handle. It gives you the keyless freedom you may demand from time to time. Customers asked – we responded!
The American Roll Cover is the toughest, best-looking, and most versatile retractable aluminum cover available today!
American Roll Cover
Installation Guide
How does the American roll cover (ARC) work?
The ARC slides along rails mounted to the sides of the truck bed into a canister at the front of the truck bed. The ARC rolls up into a small canister which measures "8 X 8", smallest in the industry which takes up the minimum amount of space, maximizing bed usage.
What is the ARC made of?
The ARC is made of double section aluminum - the only Roll Cover in the industry which uses double section aluminum and therefore makes it the toughest roll cover on the market today. The aluminum is powder coated with a textured finish making it more scratch resistant and giving it a high quality finish to match the rest of the cover.
Is the ARC waterproof?
The ARC when properly fitted is extremely water resistant, but after heavy rain, a small amount of water may seep through into the truck bed. As part of the installation, four drain hoses are fitted to channel water away from the cover and are very effective. But it's not guaranteed that the ARC is completely waterproof. Water may intrude into the bed via components that are not part of the American Roll Cover such as the tailgate, stake pockets, etc.
Ease of installation?
The cover is custom made for each different model truck so no cutting is necessary. The American Roll Cover is available as a 'clamp-on' kit that requires little technical expertise to fit. Some drilling is required to fit the drain hoses and the fitting instructions must be read carefully and completely prior to attempting installation. Professional installers should take 1 hour or less and first time installers should allow 2 hrs.
Locking positions?
The ARC locks into the side rails so you can open and close your tailgate without having to open the cover each time. If you do not have a tailgate lock, there are various aftermarket locks available which are inexpensive. The ARC has a superior quality lock which locks every 12 inches. The lock is protected from all weather conditions by an elegant lock guard which further protects it from freezing up in the winter months.
Will the ARC improve my GAS mileage?
Your gas mileage should improve between 7% and 10% on the highway, with the cover closed on the bed (except when towing).
Will the cover work with my bed liner?
The rails on the cover are designed to fasten directly onto the truck bed rail. If you have a plastic drop-in bed liner, there are certain minor changes that will have to be made in order for you to get a custom fit with the ARC cover. Under-the-rail bed liners will need less modifications than the over the rail plastic liner.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, there is a two-year limited warranty. See warranty statement.
Can i drive my vehicle with the American roll cover open?
Yes, but you must make sure that the retraction strap is securely anchored to prevent it flapping around and causing damage to your truck.
How strong is the American roll cover?
In the closed position, the cover can support a load of up to 500 lb although, the company recommends against carrying external loads on the cover.
Any maintenance?
Low Maintenance - Wash with water and keep clean. No lubricants or waxes needed.

Bungie gave us the opportunity to dig into the new public alpha of Destiny last week, in advance of E3. If you're interested in reading some more about my day with the game, you can explore my hands-on impressions. However, that day also resulted in a couple hours of hands-on play with the new competitive side of Destiny – the Crucible.
Destiny's competitive Crucible content is fully integrated with the rest of the gameplay experience. In between exploring story missions, cooperative play, or solo wandering, your guardian can travel to orbit and select the new Crucible location, and immediately head into competitive play. Storywise, the Crucible is described as an ongoing effort by one of the in-game organizations (called Dead Orbit) to expand into territory beyond the city.
The Control game mode was available for play in the alpha. The 6v6 mode should be familiar to most FPS players, as it challenges players to take control of three flags scattered around the map, and hold those zones against enemy attack. Each player is assigned onto either the alpha or bravo team before battle begins. Points are scored for holding a flag zone, and for taking out enemy players.
Two maps are available for play in the alpha. The first environment I play is an Earth-based map called Rusted Lands, which is described to be in an area called the Eastern Flood Zone. The relatively tight confines of the map are mostly populated with old ruined brick and mortar buildings. Flags are placed at two roughly opposite ends of the map, while a third hard-to-hold point is set in a roofless courtyard ruin near the middle of the stage. Deaths come quick as enemy players leap over the low walls or rush out of nearby tunnels.
A second map offered one of the rare glimpses we've had so far of off-Earth gameplay. First Light is a map set on the Mare Cognitum area of Earth's moon. This very large map includes a central complex of several lunar buildings, and a surrounding area of more open areas that leave players vulnerable to attack. The glowing shape of Earth hovers in the sky as battles get underway. Playing on the First Light map is particularly significant because I got to see the first couple of weaponized vehicles that have been shown so far. The Pike looks like a floating motorcycle, but it controls nearly identically to the Ghost of the Halo games. I also saw a second larger vehicle that shoots heavy explosive ammo as it floats along the surface.
No matter which map I played on, I got a good sense of how combat feels. In short, Halo players are likely to feel right at home. The speed of movement, shield/health recharge, and the number of shots needed to bring down an opposing player all feel comparable (though not identical) to Bungie's previous work on Halo. However, Destiny competitive play has a number of new wrinkles that feel different from other competitive games. The use of super abilities changes the battlefield in a significant way, providing any given player a powerful tool to take out one or more opposing players. In addition, the variety of weapons that another player might be wielding makes it challenging to gauge exactly what you're facing in any given one-on-one encounter. Perhaps the biggest feature that changes the feel of battle is the use of vertical movement abilities, turning any given conflict into a far more vertical affair. Depending on the movement mode that a combatant is using, it's often easy for them to ascend from the ground to a second floor roof or raised doorway in a single move. During my time in matches, I found that my focus needed to shift to the vertical plane far more than I'm used to in previous Bungie multiplayer experiences.
Even as I played the Control mode on these two maps, the alpha teases with grayed out options for several other game modes. In addition, my half dozen matches only offer a taste of the rewards that players can access over a long period of play. Invest time in the Crucible, and you can gain crucible marks (a currency) and crucible reputation, which in turn can be used to get special weaponry at the tower. Players can also earn crucible gear directly through playing matches, but the specifics of what leads to these unlocks remains undetailed.
One of the coolest features of Destiny is the way it lets players engage with whatever aspect of the game they're most excited about at any given time. I won't be at all surprised upon launch to find players that only play Crucible multiplayer content, and others who never engage with competitive play at all. The game seems to support either direction, and everything in between. While the Bungie developers that were in-game the evening I played handed out some potent smackdowns during my session, I'm excited for some rematches when more elements of the Crucible come online.

If you're an avid user of Google+ and have yet to receive an update notification for the app on your Android device, you may want to check the Market now. A total redesign of the Google+ app for Android has just been released in the last day that features a new UI, bug fixes, battery life improvements and more.
According to the "what's new" section in the Android Market listing, the latest version of Google+ for Android is a "completely new app," and features a "new visual design." The new visual design they're talking about is directly related to Ice Cream Sandwich. The app is still colored the same (lots of gray, red, green and blue), but features back buttons on every page, as well as a new posting UI and a slick new messaging app. Also found throughout the app, especially the messenger, are some of the same graphics shown off in the Ice Cream Sandwich demos from the live announcement.
The two most important things to take away from the update are how committed Google is to design, and how close Android 4.0 and the Galaxy Nexus are to launching. The new Google+ app looks great. The new icons and graphics have a much more refined look to them. Google clearly spent quite a bit of time on the app. And the fact that Google is ready to show off this new design is a good sign that Ice Cream Sandwich is coming sooner than later. Just yesterday, Telegraph reported that here in the US, we may have to wait until after the 17th of this month to see the Galaxy Nexus finally launch. ICS should hit the AOSP and Nexus S devices shortly after that. But there's still good reason to believe the Galaxy Nexus could launch before then. As soon as the 10th to be exact.
Either way, the new Google+ app is the closest thing most people will get to the ICS user interface for at least another week and a half. If you're looking to download Google+ for Android, use the Market widget below.

Latest Diet & Weight Management News
Study: The Popular Reality TV Show May Reinforce Anti-Fat Attitudes
By Brenda Goodman, MA
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Jan. 18, 2012 -- Losing weight and entertaining people at the same time seems like a win-win situation. But such might not be the case for the reality show The Biggest Loser.
Watching reality TV game show contestants sweat, strain, and diet their way to big weight loss may actually lead viewers, especially thin viewers, to more harshly judge all overweight people, a new study shows.
Researchers think the reason is that the show appears to do a good job of convincing us that body weight is entirely within a person's control.
That sets up the idea that if show contestants can shrink dramatically, everyone should be able to.
The problem with that notion, experts say, is that it just isn't true.
"The real reality is that significant, sustainable weight loss is not achievable for most people," says Rebecca Puhl, PhD, director of research at the Rudd Center for Food Policy & Obesity at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., in an email to WebMD.
"We know that the most that we can really expect people to lose and keep off over time from conventional weight loss programs is about 10% of body weight," says Puhl, who studies weight bias, but was not involved in the current research.
"Of course, some people lose more than that, but the vast majority regains that weight within one to five years. We also see this happening on the show -- when people leave the show, many regain the weight back," she says.
A spokeswoman for NBC, the network that produces "The Biggest Loser," declined to comment on the study.
Fueling 'Negative Attitudes'?
The show, now in its 13th season, has been a blockbuster success, spawning an online weight loss program, a line of diet and nutritional supplements, and two luxury weight loss resorts.
"It's great entertainment," says researcher Robert A. Carels, PhD, a psychologist and associate professor at Bowling Green State University, in Ohio.
"In some respects, it does seem to portray obese individuals in a positive light. You get to see their background stories. They work very hard. You're connected to the characters."
"On the other hand," Carels says, "it might kind of backfire."
He says his study and a couple of others have suggested that extreme weight-loss shows, which typically show contestants losing hundreds of pounds with several hours of daily exercise and strict dieting, all while they leave their family and jobs for weeks or months, "may fuel some of these other negative attitudes about how controllable weight is."
Testing Attitudes After Watching Extreme Weight Loss
For the study, which is published in the journal Obesity, 59 college students were randomly assigned to watch an episode of The Biggest Loser or a nature-based reality show, Meerkat Manor, for comparison.
Before they tuned in, researchers tested their attitudes about obesity and obese people by having them answer several computer-based questionnaires.
The students were kept in the dark about the purpose of the study. They were told the tests were measuring how fast they could process the questions.
They were asked, for example, how strongly they agreed with statements like, "Fat people can lose weight if they really want to."
They were also asked about traits they associated with being obese. Choices included positive things like being honest, sociable, and intelligent. Negative choices included lazy, undisciplined, and unattractive.
A week after taking those initial tests, people were asked to watch their assigned shows. Researchers tested them again after they finished the episodes.
As expected, "Meerkat Manor" didn't seem to change how students felt about obesity one way or the other.
But researchers say they saw small, but significant shifts in some attitudes after students watched The Biggest Loser.
"We saw an increase in dislike and an increase in perceptions of controllability," says Carels.
"The dislike seemed to be a little bit stronger in people that were thin and not trying to lose weight," he says.
Weight Bias Is Tough to Change
Other experts had a different take on the study's results.
"I think people, by in large, come with negative attitudes [about obesity], and they're very hard to change," says Rena A. Mendelson, PhD, professor of nutrition at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada. "I'm not sure that you can argue that watching the show made them more anti-fat."
Mendelson has conducted a similar study, presented last year at Canada's National Obesity Summit, which tested 42 people before and after they watched either The Biggest Loser or America's Next Top Model.
Her study found no change in viewers' attitudes toward obesity or obese people after watching either show.
That was surprising, she says. She thought people who watched The Biggest Loser would feel more sympathy and less bias toward obese people afterward.
"I think the real point of their work and our work is how pervasive anti-fat attitudes are; how strong they are and how persistent," she says.

Born: April 1, 1937, Vienna, Austria
Vienna, home to some 175,000 Jews before World War II, was a major center of European Jewry. Vienna was also the intellectual heart of the Palestine resettlement movement. Most of the city's Jews lived in two large districts on the east side of the Danube Canal. Renee's father owned a prosperous men's clothing store in the city.
1933-39: German forces occupied Austria in March 1938. Anti-Jewish measures were quickly imposed. My father was prohibited from doing business and his store was seized. He left for America in early 1939 with the intention of having my mother and me join him there. But in the interim, the situation for Jews worsened and my mother and I were forced to flee to Belgium to escape deportation. I was 2 years old.
1940-44: My mother gave me to a man from the "underground." It was because I was Jewish, he said. I was taken to some nuns who renamed me Suzanne LeDent. At the convent's school I played only rarely with the other children, because they might have asked me too many questions. I learned to pray using a string of beads called a rosary, and won medals for memorizing Catholic prayers. In 1943, when the Germans learned the nuns had been hiding Jews, I was moved first to a family and then to a Protestant reform school near Brussels.
After the war, Renee was reunited with her mother. Five years later they emigrated to the United States.

World of Warcraft.Blizzard's great success story.
I've been away for awhile, and I want to get back to the game.
My history with World of Warcraft started back with StarCraft.
Many of us played StarCraft on the office LAN back in the late 90's. It would be hard to exaggerate the effect that game had. Some of those coworkers have kids who play in StarCraft 2 tournaments today.
Then in 2000, Diablo II arrived and my evenings were lost.
We would sit on the phone for hours while playing the multi-player version of the game. My couch developed a permanent depression where I camped with my mouse on the arm of the couch and the laptop perched on a box.
When I heard that Blizzard was developing a persistent-world game, I was thrilled and terrified. If they could translate that great Diablo gameplay into an MMO, it would change everything. And if I had even more reasons to play, I may never sleep again.
All my Diablo-playing friends jumped on the World of Warcraft beta release. As a software developer, I take beta testing pretty seriously, so I stayed away. But on launch day, I volunteered to be the office purchaser. I showed up a suburban Best Buy when the doors opened, walked past the Half Life 2 displays and to the temporary World of Warcraft counter and bought four of everything. Needless to say, the office closed down early that afternoon.
That was almost nine years ago.
In the meantime, I've created Addons for the game, run a small guild, and acted as CTO for some of the largest WoW-related sites on the Internet.
But in the last couple years, my time in Azeroth has mainly been limited to updating and testing my Addons, and enough questing to keep my primary characters at max level. I haven't been on a raid in three years.
But tales of thrilling heroics and camaraderie on The Instance podcast make me want to play again!
How can I get back into the game?I would like to raid and participate in the higher-level aspects of the game, but the skills have changed so much, the talent system is almost gone, and everything seems to require some sort of reputation points.
It just all seems so overwhelming.
Let's break it down into a concrete course of action:
Reach Out for HelpThe purpose of this series is to hopefully learn from others who have successfully returned to World of Warcraft. Even if I fail to reach those people, at least I will leave some information for the next person.
I may get help from the guild, but I don't even know if my toons are still in a guild.
Pick a ToonWhile my "main" has always been my rogue, I should probably go with my Holy Priest for entering back into the game. Wait times for pick-up-groups should be much shorter, and I can learn the dungeons.
I also have a warrior tank at max level, but I just don't have the skills to tank anymore. So much has changed since previous patches. I don't even know how to train to be a better tank.
Update the GameI've already updated the game client when testing my Addons, but I'll want to review what Addons are being required by raid teams, and what class-specific Addons are recommended.
As an Addon developer, I've always preferred WoWUI over Curse. But has that changed? Do developers still keep their version control at WoWUI?
Review Abilities, Talents, Glyphs, and RotationsThis is what is keeping me from the game right now.
Abilities are automatic, but I want to read up on them and see just how each one actually works. I know I was misusing an Ability on my rogue for a month before I realized it had significantly changed in Mists of Pandaria.
Talents seem to be somewhat unimportant nowadays. Just to fine-tune with your playstyle. Am I wrong there? Let me know!
Glyphs! I don't even know where to start. I need a web site with a comprehensive list of available glyphs and their relative merits.
Spell rotation usually isn't a serious issue until you're trying to optimize things in a raid or arena. So I'm not worried about that right now.
Log InThis can be a problem if you haven't played in awhile.
During one of my Addon update cycles, I forgot my password, and I my smart phone broke.
The phone was replaced, but I didn't have the code for the Authenticator, so I had no way to log in.
Eventually, I worked with Blizzard customer support. I had to take the dusty original Collector's Edition I purchased on that fateful November day back in 2004 from the shelf and read them the CD key.
Gear UpI've never been a hunter of gear. I play the game for the fun quests and adventures with good people.
Gear Level, iLevel, dungeon requirements, tier sets...
Do we still have tier sets?
Expertise? What's that about?
Don't even get me started on gems and enchantments...
How is noob-again player supposed to make informed decisions?
Adventure Awaits!Join me as I begin the journey back to Azeroth.
Perhaps I'll be raiding soon.
Perhaps I'll decide I'd rather play Hearthstone or Puzzle & Dragons.
In any event, I'll let you know what I learned along the way.

Here are the slides:
Slides: What Everyone Should Know About REST
Thanks UX Mastery for the sketchnotes, they are awesome! (Seriously, I would be much more swayed to speak at any conference with sketchnotes because it's a straightforward permanent memento, a better snapshot than slides or video.)
Overall, it was great to be associated with another fine Web Directions conference and the Melbourne Town Hall venue was amazing. I only regret that we were so busy scrambling on the Android app, after launching just a few days earlier, to be around the whole time. But this being my hometown — I'll be back!
Talk Structure
I spoke at Web Directions Code on Friday, a talk on REST. I've been putting a lot of this into practice lately, and the talk was really an attempt to convey the main practical things every developer should know. The structure was:
- Everyone should know about REST because it's not just about websites anymore. Devices, whether computers, fridges, or wearable glasses - are connected, and device-to-device communication happens with web standards, i.e. HTTP. The talk covered three things about REST: Simplicity+Consistency; Security; Caching.
- Simplicity+Consistency: Emphasising Developer Experience (#devexp) was a way to frame the general concepts, ie URLs, HTTP methods, response types.
- Security: How the web is becoming SSL-only, and various authentication schemes. I referenced the latest Traffic and Weather, which has a good discussion on this.
- Performance+Scalability: Mostly about caching. I've been musing on REST caching quite a bit for Player FM's API (most recently thinking about a kind of reverse patch protocol, where the server can send out diffs that get cached), and explained some of the standards and tricks for squeezing efficiency out of the network.
What Wasn't Covered
- I didn't go into the REST acronym or the general theory of REST as an architectural pattern arising from specific forces.
- SSL and caching. Good Twitter conversation afterwards about this point, that you can't cache in the middle of an SSL connection. The answer is to split the connection in the middle and run SSL on either side, with a trusted cache seeing plain-text in the middle. This is how Cloudflare works, and the CEO Matthew Prince chimed in to say it will be free soon. (At least, SSL from client to Cloudflare.) So that means the SSL-protected web could triple overnight.

Hey all,
I own a PS51D6900 which has since some weeks colored vertical stripes on the screen.
First of all ... I have no guarantee anymore ;( so I'm not able to call Samsung Service
Maybe some of you have ideas to repair this...
What I have done so far ...
1) Open the TV and check the cables, reconnect all of them which I can see when removing the back ... still there
2) Ordered a new T-CON board
---- Here my problem is that if I install it the screen keeps black ... I guess the T-CON software is not fitting to main board software
---- The yellow lamp blinks once per second ... so normal operation
---- Is there a way to flash the T-CON board without seeing someting on the screen ( telnet, ex link, ...)?
Thanks in advance

Suburban CEOs, business owners back Romney
If the number of chief executive officers and business owners who contribute directly to the presidential races are any indication of a winner, GOP candidate Mitt Romney would grab the lead, at least in the Chicago suburbs.
Leaders of suburban businesses who contributed to presidential campaigns favored Romney with $209,454 compared to $85,530 for President Barack Obama, according to figures obtained from the Federal Elections Commission. Romney's list of contributors includes Oak Brook's Craig J. Duchossois of The Duchossois Group; Wheaton's James E. Fellowes of office supply Fellowes Inc.; Oak Brook's James Skinner, who retired from McDonald's Corp.; Oak Brook's Richard Portillo of Portillo's Restaurant Group; Libertyville's Mark C. Miller of Stericycle Industries; Hinsdale's Fred Krehbiel, of the family that started Molex Inc.;http://www.molex.com/molex/index.jsp, and Inverness' John A. Canning of Madison Dearborn Partners LLC.
President Barack Obama's contributors include a variety of executives at a number of small and mid-size companies around the area.
While money will continue to flow into both camps through election time, the current breakdown isn't surprising, said Bruce Newman, professor of marketing at DePaul University in Chicago.
"I'm not surprised that more money is going to Romney here because CEOs have known what the office has done for 3½ years under the Obama government and have worked with people in his administration and know where they stand there," said Newman. "They can continue to nurture that relationship or go with Romney and can gain new influence in government and establish themselves there."
A review of the FEC's database of individual contributors around the suburbs, as of June 30, indicates Obama has captured many smaller companies and major portions of the health care, energy, education and financial sectors. But CEOs of large local companies are rallying around Romney.
"I worked for Romney four years ago and now, and there's a marked difference," said Dan Rutherford, state chairman for Romney's campaign in Illinois. "Compared to four years ago, and even from the early part of the campaign, during the primary, business leaders are more enthusiastic in supporting him now. ... They're the job creators and have companies that hire people. They've seen this administration take action and it has not been conducive to growing jobs."
The Obama camp isn't surprised by the leanings of large suburban businesses. But Obama plans to maintain a strong business focus, especially with small businesses and their importance to the growth of the economy, said John W. Rogers Jr., co-chair of the Illinois finance committee for Obama's campaign. Rogers is also chairman and CEO of Ariel Investments in Chicago.
"Business leaders believe in the president's actions in the last four years, especially with health care reform and how to get people back to work," Rogers said.
The FEC said individuals can contribute up to $5,000 for a candidate. But those same individuals also can contribute more through political action committees, known as PACs, which can provide unlimited funding, or through other avenues, such as family foundations.
Despite what Chicago suburban contributions indicate, FEC records show the nationwide total contributions from all individuals is about $136 million for Romney, compared to a whopping $223 million for Obama.
Several local executives were randomly contacted for comment, but they either declined or did not respond.
Then, there are some executives who have contributed to both sides, including Exelon Corp. CEO Christopher Crane. He only offered a comment through a company spokesman.
"Like other private citizens, Exelon's employees, including its CEO, support political candidates for a variety of reasons," said Exelon spokesman Paul Elsberg. "Because they work in the energy industry, Exelon employees often support candidates from both parties who they believe will support sound energy policies that have the potential to deliver economic and environmental benefits to our customers, our communities and our investors. Exelon CEO Chris Crane has contributed to the campaigns of both presidential candidates."
Contributing as an individual also is seen as a form of political marketing that helps business leaders get the access they need related to issues involving their business, Newman said.
"It's about the realm of influence and the ability of CEOs to influence government decision making," he said.
Access and influence are undoubtedly a big part of the equation, said Joan Phillips, associate professor of marketing at Loyola University in Chicago.
"There are certainly individual contributors who will support both candidates because they don't know who will win and they want to be able to get access to those decision makers," Phillips said.
In many cases, top executives just may stick with an incumbent because it's more comfortable, said Phillips.
"There's less risk with incumbents," she said. "You don't like all of their policies or agree with them entirely, but in some cases, they're better than uncertainty."

IFRS 16 Leases is the new leases standard that was published in January 2016 and will become effective January 2019. IFRS 16 will change the accounting practices for occupiers of real estate, eliminating off-balance sheet reporting and requiring them to recognise most leases on balance sheets as liabilities. For occupiers this could have a significant impact on their financial reporting and major implications in their procurement of space for occupation. One potential result could be that occupiers increasingly seek more flexible or short-term leases to manage the impact to their balance sheets and financial statement ratios.
For landlords, accounting practices are generally unchanged from IAS 17 Leases with the profit or loss recognition pattern not expected to change. However, the new standard may impact on the landlord's offering as the requirements of occupiers change. One impact of this could be the acceleration of the current trend by occupiers to adopt workplace as a service through co-working providers.

ROME—After a 4-year investigation, a public prosecutor in Turin has delivered a withering indictment about a controversial stem cell therapy provided by the Stamina Foundation in Italy. The report, issued on Wednesday, describes Davide Vannoni, who introduced the treatment in Italy, as the head of a criminal organization that has defrauded about a thousand patients since 2006 by administering a dangerous and unapproved treatment in exchange for money.
Prosecutor Raffaele Guariniello accuses 19 others as well; they include physicians, members of ethics committees, and directors at three public hospitals where Vannoni treated his patients, as well as the owner of a drug company, two foreign scientists, and the head of the Department of Research and Clinical Trials at AIFA, the Italian Medicines Agency.
Vannoni has asked for up to €48,000 per treatment and €10,000 per year to store cells extracted from adults and children, the report says; his treatments exposed patients to serious risks, it concludes, including the risk of infection, severe bleeding, spinal cord injury, cancer, and ischemia. The report identifies a series of problems with the treatment. No preclinical and clinical studies were done, for instance; Vannoni's team processed, handled, and injected cells under nonsterile conditions; and "bovine serum with no specified origin" was used as a culture medium. Patients "were turned into guinea pigs," the report states.
A judge must now decide whether the accusations warrant a trial. ScienceInsider could not reach Vannoni for comment. In the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Vannoni said that he had expected the charges but said they were unfounded. "I have the documents to prove it and I'll defend my self; 180 civil judges have already proven us right" by ruling that patients have a right to get the treatment, the paper quoted him as saying.
Vannoni, who has a degree in philosophy and was a psychology professor at the University of Udine, is now president of the Stamina Foundation in Turin. He rose to national fame in Italy in 2012, when a popular TV show named The Hyenas claimed that he had cured people of neurodegenerative diseases including ALS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's, as well as several rare diseases affecting both adults and children. Soon, patients began seeking out the therapy.
The treatments were administered at various locations. In 2011, Vannoni signed an agreement with the Spedali Civili Hospital in Brescia to treat 12 patients there. According to the report, some other patients were secretly treated at the Burlo Garofolo Hospital in Trieste. Vannoni also had patients treated in beauty centers in San Marino, a tiny republic surrounded by Italy, and even in the basement of a house in Turin, Guariniello writes.
The 69-page report says Vannoni had a well-developed strategy that aimed to bypass the law on stem cell therapies, take the treatment to public hospitals, get the Italian government to pay for it, and expand the business around the world. In addition, he actively pushed patients to go to court to claim the right to be treated, the report says.
Physicians at the hospital in Brescia were in the dark about the details of the treatment administered there; the report says they used to temporarily leave the lab because a Stamina Foundation biologist "had to add a secret ingredient to the stem cells" that supposedly helped the cells develop into neurons. "What the dossier claims is staggering," says Michele De Luca, director of the Centre for Regenerative Medicine "Stefano Ferrari" in Modena, Italy. "It adds a sense of serious danger to the scientific inconsistency of the Stamina method which we were already aware of. We will wait, however, for justice to take its course."
The report may not be the end for Stamina's treatment. Italy's health minister, Beatrice Lorenzin, has already said that a scientific review of the method needs to proceed as planned.
The review is the result of a political intervention. In 2012, AIFA and the National Transplant Center shut down Stamina's activities after an inspection at the Brescia hospital found several serious problems with the lab and treatment. Following public protests, the Italian Parliament in May 2013 adopted a law ordering the government to design and fund a proper clinical trial of Stamina's method. In September, however, a panel set up to investigate the method said there was no scientific basis for a trial. (The prosecutor's report says that the documents Vannoni provided to the panel were produced by a medicine student who relied mainly on Wikipedia.)
Vannoni successfully appealed the committee's rejection in court, arguing that some of its members weren't impartial. Lorenzin then nominated a new committee that is set to review the method soon. That panel could still propose a clinical study.
But Amedeo Santosuosso, chair of the European Centre for Law, Science and New Technologies of the University of Pavia and a member of the first panel, hopes the saga will end before then. "At this point the minister should have the moral and political strength to take the right decision and put to a definitive end the whole story," he says. "This is one of the darkest chapters in the history of medicine of this country."

Because a total hip replacement is an elective surgery, there are no serious or life-threatening consequences associated with not having it. However, it is important to understand what may result from this decision.
Currently no medicine has been developed that can reverse the process of a joint wearing out. There are medicines and treatments that slow the process. However, the hip joint does not spontaneously heal when arthritis is present. With this in mind, patients with hip arthritis and pain generally do not get better with time, and often experience these symptoms getting worse. In the end, it is your choice whether disability caused by the arthritis is bothersome enough to have this surgery.
The final decision to have or not have surgery rests with you, but all concerns relating to this decision should be discussed with your doctor at length. Then you and your doctor can come up with a treatment method that is comfortable for you.

Balloon Boy's Mother -- It Was All a Hoax
The mother of the "Balloon Boy" has finally come clean, admitting the whole ridiculous fiasco was the hoax everybody knew it was anyway.
In a search warrant affidavit that was released today, Mayumi Heene told sheriff's deputies she and Richard "knew all along that Falcon was hiding in the residence."
In the document, it says "Mayumi described that she and Richard Heene devised this hoax approximately two weeks earlier ... she and Richard had instructed their three children to lie to authorities as well as the media regarding this hoax."
Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden has said he will recommend charges against the family including conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant.

LIBYA: Lack of security hampers humanitarian access
TitleLIBYA: Lack of security hampers humanitarian access
The IOM-chartered ship Red Star One docked at Misrata port on 4 May, delivering 180 metric tons of humanitarian supplies. The ship evacuated 1,073 people (827 third country nationals (TCNs), over 200 Libyans, 36 war wounded, and 8 International Medical Corps medical staff who were replaced by new personnel. On 4 May, Government of Libya forces directed rockets at the Misrata port area, resulting in 7 civilians casualties and 17 injured. Artillery shelling of the port was also reported on 5 May.
In the west, fighting in the Nafusa Mountains continues, blocking access for the delivery of essential supplies to Yafran, Qalaa and other towns in the region. Protracted fighting has led to over 40,000 people crossing into Tunisia since early April. Access to this area is still limited and the humanitarian community is concerned about the situation for the local population, particularly in Yafran and Qalaa. The World Health Organization has received unconfirmed reports from the Nafusa Mountains of shortages of medicines, medical staff and food, and that the situation across western Libya area is worsening.
The Libyan Ministry of Health has also reported an acute shortage of vaccines and other essential supplies in Tripoli. Shortages of fuel are also reported. Security constraints at the Port of Misrata and the road networks in western Libya, the Nafusa Mountains, and around Ajdabiya continue to hinder access for humanitarian organizations. Government forces have periodically been reported to block roads in the Nafusa Mountains region. Food shortages have been reported in Yafran.
The United Nations Special Envoy for Libya, Abdelilah Al-Khatib, has said that both sides to the conflict have voiced their agreement on the need for a cessation of hostilities to end the killing of innocent civilians. However, challenges within the political process remain. On 5 May, the International Contact Group for Libya agreed to set up a financial mechanism that would help the Libyan Interim Transitional Council to cover its running costs.

Boys track preview for Hamilton, Oneida, Camden, Canastota, Morrisville-Eaton and Cazenovia
Decades ago there was a popular book called "The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner." That's around the time Hamilton's track and field team was one of the best of all the small schools in the area.
The Emerald Knights faded a bit a few years ago and dropped the program for a couple years. But coach Richard Hanson encouraged runners like Ben Parfitt to sign up and the sport was resurrected along with cross country.
Parfitt not only learned how lonely long distance running can be but how lonely is can be as a member of a new team. Only a handful of boys took part last year but now Hanson has 10 signed up.
"I'm not sure what to expect," Hanson said.
Hamilton fans should expect good things from Parfitt in the 1600 and 3200, Tyler Dowsland in the sprints and Zack Wilcox in the middle distances.
Oneida boys track team features a large group of underclassmen. Thrower David Carroll, a junior, may be the best of the bunch and should vie for a trip to the state meet. Zach Hall excels in hurdles and long jump and classmate Justin Klossner is a sprinter to lead the group of seniors on the 53-boy roster.
Will Coulter (distance), Steven Patricia (hurdles, high jump), Chris Spencer (middle distance) and Ben Vaccaro (pole vault) are the other juniors to watch on veteran coach Adam Litwak's team.
"We have a good, strong group of sophomores and juniors," Litwak said.
Camden coach Nathan Donaleski enters his fourth year at the helm with hopes of bettering last spring's 2-7 mark. He has some talented athletes back to make that likely, especially Aaron Davis, Kevin Jones and Brandon Arbes. Davis won a sectional pole vault title in 2012 and missed making the state meet by one spot. Jones was fifth in the section in the 100 and Arbes did likewise in the 800. Hurdler Ward Seymour and distance specialist Andrew Spagnuolo also return. Thrower Josh Martin may be the top newcomer for the Blue Devils.
Seymour, Davis, Joe Muller and Jones just missed making the state meet as a 4x100 team last year and should be a force again in 2013.
"We have a team of 42 runners with much more depth than we have ever had the past few years," Donalski said.
Three-sport standout Jesse Puchales is one of the area's best throwers, Anthony Mitchell should fare well in distance events and Jon Townsend may be among the better sprinters when Canastota's boys track and field team begins the 2013 spring season. Veteran coach John Copp (2003-2009 at Onondaga Central, new at Canastota in 2013) also has newcomers Devin Burnett and Joe Sorci in the prints to to count on for points.
Morrisville-Eaton's boys track and field team will once again be coached by Bruce Sherwood (251-148, 1980-2013). M-E was 6-4 in the CSC and 12-5 overall in 2012 and returns just six seniors.
Cazenovia coach Tom Neidl (160-120, 1980-2012) has a roster of 26 that includes just seven seniors, so bettering last year's 1-6 record may be tough. Neidl has some good athletes, however, so there is hope.

Arnold Arboretum, 18 May 2010: No bikes on the path down from Bussey Hill (damn) (tight)
Image by Chris Devers
I can't decide which version of this one I like better:
Either way, it's a shame — this hill looked like it would be a blast to go bombing down on a bike, but it isn't allowed. Oh well. 🙂
The Arboretum has an interactive map on their web site. This map is found at the Arborway Gate.
Pasting from Wikipedia: Arnold Arboretum:
• • • • •
The Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University is an arboretum located in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts. It was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and is the second largest "link" in the Emerald Necklace.
The Arboretum was founded in 1872 when the President and Fellows of Harvard College became trustees of a portion of the estate of James Arnold (1781–1868).
In 1842, Benjamin Bussey (1757–1842), a prosperous Boston merchant and scientific farmer, donated his country estate Woodland Hill and a part of his fortune to Harvard University "for instruction in agriculture, horticulture, and related subjects". Bussey had inherited land from fellow patriot Eleazer Weld in 1800 and further enlarged his large estate between 1806 and 1837 by acquiring and consolidating various farms that had been established as early as the seventeenth century. Harvard used this land for the creation of the Bussey Institute, which was dedicated to agricultural experimentation. The first Bussey Institute building was completed in 1871 and served as headquarters for an undergraduate school of agriculture.
Sixteen years after Bussey's death, James Arnold, a New Bedford, Massachusetts whaling merchant, specified that a portion of his estate was to be used for "…the promotion of Agricultural, or Horticultural improvements". In 1872, when the trustees of the will of James Arnold transferred his estate to Harvard University, Arnold's gift was combined with 120 acres (0.49 km2) of the former Bussey estate to create the Arnold Arboretum. In the deed of trust between the Arnold trustees and the College, income from Arnold's legacy was to be used for establishing, developing and maintaining an arboretum to be known as the Arnold Arboretum which "shall contain, as far as practicable, all the trees [and] shrubs … either indigenous or exotic, which can be raised in the open air of West Roxbury". The historical mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase knowledge of woody plants through research and to disseminate this knowledge through education.
Charles Sprague Sargent was appointed director and Arnold Professor of Botany shortly after the establishment of the institution in 1872.[2] Together with landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted he developed the road and pathway system and delineated the collection areas by family and genus, following the then current and widely accepted classification system of Bentham and Hooker. The Hunnewell building was designed by architect Alexander Wadsworth Longfellow, Jr. in 1892 and constructed with funds donated by H. H. Hunnewell in 1903. From 1946 to 1950 the landscape architect Beatrix Farrand was the landscape design consultant for the Arboretum. Her early training in the 1890s included time with Charles Sprague Sargent and chief propagator and superintendent Jackson Thornton Johnson.[3] Today the Arboretum occupies 265 acres (107 hectares) of land divided between four parcels, viz. the main Arboretum and the Peters Hill, Weld-Walter and South Street tracts. The collections, however, are located primarily in the main Arboretum and on the Peters Hill tract. The Arboretum remains one of the finest examples of a landscape designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and it is a Frederick Law Olmsted National Historic Site) and a National Historic Landmark.
Robert E. Cook is the seventh and current Director of the Arnold Arboretum. He is also the Director of the Harvard University Herbaria located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The Arboretum is privately endowed as a department of Harvard University. The land, however, was deeded to the City of Boston in 1882 and incorporated into the so-called "Emerald Necklace". Under the agreement with the City, Harvard University was given a thousand-year lease on the property, and the University, as trustee, is directly responsible for the development, maintenance, and operation of the Arboretum; the City retains responsibility for water fountains, benches, roads, boundaries, and policing. The annual operating budget of ,350,644 (fiscal year 2003) is largely derived from endowment, which is also managed by the University, and all Arboretum staff are University employees. Other income is obtained through granting agencies and contributors.
The main Arborway gate is located on Route 203 a few hundred yards south of its junction with the Jamaicaway. Public transportation to the Arboretum is available on the MBTA Orange Line to its terminus at Forest Hills Station and by bus (#39) to the Monument in Jamaica Plain. The Arboretum is within easy walking distance from either of these points.
The grounds are open free of charge to the public from sunrise to sunset 365 days of the year. The Visitor's Center in the Hunnewell Building, 125 Arborway, is open Monday through Friday 9 a.m.–4 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m.–4 p.m.; Sundays 12 p.m.–4 PM. The Visitor's Center is closed on holidays. The Library, located in the Hunnewell Building, is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m.. The Library is closed on Sundays and holidays. Stacks are closed and the collection does not circulate.
Two hundred and sixty-five acres (107 hectares) in the Jamaica Plain and Roslindale sections of Boston, Massachusetts, located at 42°19′N 71°5′W / 42.317°N 71.083°W / 42.317; -71.083, with altitudes ranging from 46 feet (15 m) in the meadow across the drive from the Hunnewell Building to 240 feet (79 m) at the top of Peters Hill.
Average yearly rainfall is 43.63 inches (1,102 mm); average snowfall, 40.2 inches (102 centimeters). Monthly mean temperature is 51.5 °F (10.8 °C); July's mean temperature is 73.5 °F (23 °C); January's is 29.6 °F (-1.3 °C). The Arboretum is located in USDA hardiness zone 6 (0 to −10 °F, −18 to −23 °C).
Collections (as of September 14, 2007)
At present, the living collections include 15,441 individual plants (including nursery holdings) belonging to 10,216 accessions representing 4,099 taxa; with particular emphasis on the ligneous species of North America and eastern Asia. Historic collections include the plant introductions from eastern Asia made by Charles Sprague Sargent, Ernest Henry Wilson, William Purdom, Joseph Hers, and Joseph Rock. Recent introductions from Asia have resulted from the 1977 Arnold Arboretum Expedition to Japan and Korea, the 1980 Sino-American Botanical Expedition to western Hubei Province, and more recent expeditions to China and Taiwan.
Comprehensive collections are maintained and augmented for most genera, and genera that have received particular emphasis include: Acer, Fagus, Carya, Forsythia, Taxodium, Pinus, Metasequoia, Lonicera, Magnolia, Malus, Quercus, Rhododendron, Syringa, Paulownia, Albizia, Ilex, Gleditsia and Tsuga. Other comprehensive collections include the Bradley Collection of Rosaceous Plants, the collection of conifers and dwarf conifers, and the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection. Approximately 500 accessions are processed annually.
Collections policy
The mission of the Arnold Arboretum is to increase our knowledge of the evolution and biology of woody plants. Historically, this research has investigated the global distribution and evolutionary history of trees, shrubs and vines, with particular emphasis on the disjunct species of East Asia and North America. Today this work continues through molecular studies of the evolution and biogeography of the floras of temperate Asia, North America and Europe.
Research activities include molecular studies of gene evolution, investigations of plant-water relations, and the monitoring of plant phenology, vegetation succession, nutrient cycling and other factors that inform studies of environmental change. Applied work in horticulture uses the collections for studies in plant propagation, plant introduction, and environmental management. This diversity of scientific investigation is founded in a continuing commitment to acquire, grow, and document the recognized species and infraspecific taxa of ligneous plants of the Northern Hemisphere that are able to withstand the climate of the Arboretum's 265-acre (1.07 km2) Jamaica Plain/Roslindale site.
As a primary resource for research in plant biology, the Arboretum's living collections are actively developed, curated, and managed to support scientific investigation and study. To this end, acquisition policies place priority on obtaining plants that are genetically representative of documented wild populations. For each taxon, the Arnold Arboretum aspires to grow multiple accessions of known wild provenance in order to represent significant variation that may occur across the geographic range of the species. Accessions of garden or cultivated provenance are also acquired as governed by the collections policies herein.
For all specimens, full documentation of both provenance and history within the collection is a critical priority. Curatorial procedures provide for complete and accurate records for each accession, and document original provenance, locations in the collections, and changes in botanical identity. Herbarium specimens, DNA materials, and digital images are gathered for the collection and maintained in Arboretum data systems and the herbarium at the Roslindale site.
Research on plant pathology and integrated pest management for maintenance of the living collections is constantly ongoing. Herbarium-based research focuses on the systematics and biodiversity of both temperate and tropical Asian forests, as well as the ecology and potential for sustainable use of their resources. The Arboretum's education programs offer school groups and the general public a wide range of lectures, courses, and walks focusing on the ecology and cultivation of plants. Its quarterly magazine, Arnoldia, provides in-depth information on horticulture, botany, and garden history. Current Research Initiatives
Plant Records
Plant records are maintained on a computerized database, BG-BASE 6.8 (BG-Base Inc.), which was initiated in 1985 at the request of the Arnold Arboretum and the Threatened Plants Unit (TPU) of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC). A computerized mapping program (based on AutoCAD (Autodesk)) is linked to BG-BASE, and each accession is recorded on a series of maps at a scale of 1-inch (25 mm) to 20 feet (1:240) or 1-inch (25 mm) to 10 feet (1:120). A computer-driven embosser generates records labels. All accessioned plants in the collections are labeled with accession number, botanical name, and cultivar name (when appropriate), source information, common name, and map location. Trunk and/or display labels are also hung on many accessions and include botanical and common names and nativity. Stake labels are used to identify plants located in the Leventritt Garden and Chinese Path.
Grounds Maintenance
The grounds staff consists of the superintendent and assistant superintendent, three arborists, and ten horticultural technologists. A service garage is adjacent to the Hunnewell Building, where offices and locker rooms are located. During the summer months ten horticultural interns supplement the grounds staff. A wide array of vehicles and modern equipment, including an aerial lift truck and a John Deere backhoe and front loader, are used in grounds maintenance. Permanent grounds staff, excluding the superintendents, are members of AFL/CIO Local 615, Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
Nursery and Greenhouse Facilities
The Dana Greenhouses, located at 1050 Centre Street (with a mailing address of 125 Arborway), were completed in 1962. They comprise four service greenhouses totaling 3,744 square feet (348 m²), the headhouse with offices, cold rooms, storage areas, and a classroom. Staffing at the greenhouse includes the manager of greenhouses and nurseries, the plant propagator, two assistants, and, during the summer months, two horticultural interns. Adjacent to the greenhouse is a shade house of 3,150 square feet (293 m²), a 12,600 cubic foot (357 m³) cold storage facility, and three irrigated, inground nurseries totaling approximately one and one-half acres (6,000 m²). Also located in the greenhouse complex is the bonsai pavilion, where the Larz Anderson Bonsai Collection is displayed from the middle of April to the end of October. During the winter months the bonsai are held in the cold storage unit at temperatures slightly above freezing.
Isabella Welles Hunnewell Internship Program
The living collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a paid summer internship program [2] that combines hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Intern trainees will be accepted for 12- to 24-week appointments. Ten interns will work with the grounds maintenance department and two in the Dana Greenhouses.
As part of the training program, interns participate in mandatory instructional sessions and field trips in order to develop a broader sense of the Arboretum's horticultural practices as well as those of other institutions. Sessions and field trips are led by Arnold staff members and embrace an open question and answer format encouraging all to participate. Interns often bring experience and knowledge that everyone, including staff, benefits from. It is a competitive-free learning environment.
Horticultural Apprenticeship
The Arboretum created the horticultural apprenticeship program in 1997 to provide hands-on experience in all aspects of the development, curation, and maintenance of the Arboretum's living collections to individuals interested in pursuing a career in an arboretum or botanical garden.
The Living Collections department of the Arnold Arboretum offers a summer internship program[4] that combines practical hands-on training in horticulture with educational courses. Fourteen Interns/Horticultural Trainees are accepted for twelve to twenty-four week appointments. Interns receive the majority of their training in one of three departments: Grounds Maintenance, Nursery and Greenhouse, or Plant Records.
Lilac Sunday
The second Sunday in May every year is "Lilac Sunday". This is the only day of the year that picnicing is allowed. In 2008, on the 100th anniversary of Lilac Sunday, the Arboretum website touted:
Of the thousands of flowering plants in the Arboretum, only one, the lilac, is singled out each year for a daylong celebration. On Lilac Sunday, garden enthusiasts from all over New England gather at the Arboretum to picnic, watch Morris dancing, and tour the lilac collection. On the day of the event, which takes place rain or shine, the Arboretum is open as usual from dawn to dusk.[5]
Associated Collections
The Arboretum's herbarium in Jamaica Plain holds specimens of cultivated plants that relate to the living collections (ca. 160,000). The Jamaica Plain herbarium, horticultural library, archives, and photographs are maintained in the Hunnewell building at 125 Arborway; however, the main portions of the herbarium and library collections are housed in Cambridge on the campus of Harvard University, at 22 Divinity Avenue.
The inventory of living collections is updated periodically and made available to sister botanical gardens and arboreta on request; it is also available on the Arboretum's website (searchable inventory). Arnoldia, the quarterly magazine of the Arnold Arboretum, frequently publishes articles relating to the living collections. A Reunion of Trees[6] by Stephen A. Spongberg (curator emeritus) recounts the history of the introduction of many of the exotic species included in the Arobretum's collections. New England Natives[7] written by horticultural research archivist Sheila Connor describes many of the trees and shrubs of the New England flora and the ways New Englanders have used them since prehistoric times. Science in the Pleasure Ground[8] by Ida Hay (former curatorial associate) constitutes an institutional biography of the Arboretum.
Institutional Collaborations
The Arboretum maintains an institutional membership in the American Public Garden Association (APGA) and the International Association of Botanical Gardens and Arboreta. Additionally, members of the staff are associated with many national and international botanical and horticultural organizations. The Arboretum is also a cooperating institution with the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC), and as an active member of the North American Plant Collections Consortium (NAPCC), it is committed to broadening and maintaining its holdings of: Acer, Carya, Fagus, Stewartia, Syringa, and Tsuga for the purposes of plant conservation, evaluation, and research. The Arboretum is also a member of the North American China Plant Exploration Consortium (NACPEC).

Day One of the Inkxperiment.
Heck everyone else has lovely baking and cooking blogs with pictures of delicious cakes, and you come here and all you get is a revolting looking mess...sorry.
Having decided to reduce the liquid by half based on the fact that we don't really want three pints of ink, and after a night and day of resting the jar containing the oak galls and the rain water next to the Aga, because apparently it is warmth not necessarily sunshine that this requires, there is quite a nice little inky broth brewing...
I have sourced some copper sulphate and am hoping it will arrive quickly because this is only supposed to steep for one more more 'daye' before adding that, and I am getting quite excited to see what might happen....even starting to think about finding some little bottles for the finished product...and perhaps sealing them with wax and sticking labels on... dovegreyink...do not drink etc.
Though I might be getting a bit ahead of myself there as we have this bit still to come which seems fraught with sticking-to-the-bottom-of-the-pan risk,
And to make your Ink shine and lustrous, add certain pieces of Barque of Pomgranat, or a small quantity of double-refin'd Sugar, boyling it a little over a gentle fire.
Meanwhile, in case you missed it in comments yesterday, Macmillan have a clever competition in progress in connection with The Missing Ink. The winner will have their handwriting turned into a usable font...just think of the handwriting bother that will save you, which seems slightly counter to the ethos of the book, but never mind, it's a bit of fun.
I have done mine and sent it in, requesting no analytical attention from Philip Hensher thank you very much, I don't want to know...
Philip has done an uncannily accurate analysis of the handwriting of famous people this week, though he had no idea whose as he dissected, and which if you missed you can read here.
I love this one...
Oh dear. I try to find something individual and likable in everyone's handwriting, but this is a bit sad and even a little babyish. Those fat loops on the L are not very mature, nor the way it all squashes into the middle zone, with not much in the way of ascenders or descenders. It just stops dead on the line. If you got a love letter written in this hand, you would probably think of Jane Austen's Mr Collins: the author would do, in efficient, practical terms, but they are not going to be romantically exciting.
It turns out to be someone quite important.

Welcome to Little Car in the Big City, where I highlight fascinating cars I found walking around a town that is known for being bigger than everything else, but where every car is fighting to stand out: New York, New York.
One of the true joys of driving a car is going on a roadtrip. Roadtrips are not only the ultimate expression of freedom in its purest from, but they also allow you to enjoy life at a bit of a leisurely pace. The purest of ultimate expression of form of pure of expression of form, then, is to be able to go on a road trip and take your hotel with you. And that's what the Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Edition brought to the table.
The Westfalia editions of VW vans were always a marvel of packaging. The top would pop up, offering extra space in the vertical, while somehow VW's Westfalia-Werke somehow managed to find room inside for a fridge (running on propane or electricity), a stove, a sink with onboard water supply, and two beds that could sleep four adults. You basically ended up with a full RV in the footprint of a Dodge Caravan. Which is not bad, considering that the VW Vanagon came out nearly half a decade before the American version of the minivan debuted.
Somehow VW was still making air-cooled rear-engine models into 1991, which is very impressive if you consider when the German company stopped selling the Beetle. Even still, the Volkswagen Type 2, as the Vanagon was known outside North America, was actually still produced in South Africa until 2002.
Though if you want the freedom-iest freedom, I'm sure you could pick up one of these on the cheap. And hey, how else are you going to get the style of plaid seats without paying for a brand new VW?

In 1983, the life expectancy for people with Down syndrome was 25 years. Today, they can live into their 60s and older.
Blissfully in love, Monica and David are part of a new generation living with Down syndrome, who want what most adults want: love, work and independence. Chronicling their storybook wedding and the challenging start of married life together, the touching documentary MONICA & DAVID debuts THURSDAY, OCT. 14 (8:00-9:15 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO and HBO Latino, during Down Syndrome Awareness Month and National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
Other HBO playdates: Oct. 17 (3:45 p.m.), 20 (8:30 a.m., midnight), 23 (9:30 a.m.) and 26 (2:15 p.m.)
Other HBO Latino playdates: Oct. 17 (3:45 p.m.), 20 (8:30 a.m., midnight), 23 (9:30 a.m.) and 26 (2:15 p.m.)
HBO2 playdates: Oct. 18 (6:00 a.m.) and Nov. 3 (8:00 p.m.) and 6 (6:00 a.m.)
Winner of the Best Documentary Feature award at the 2010 Tribeca Film Festival, MONICA & DAVID is full of humor, romance and everyday drama. Blending fly-on-the-wall footage and personal interviews, first-time director Alexandra Codina (who is Monica's cousin) explores the complex lives of the newlyweds and the devoted families who support them.
The film begins with the wedding of the thirtysomething couple, in love and full of hope and laughter. By their side are two fearless mothers realizing a lifelong dream of a "normal" life for their adult children as they embark on one of the biggest journeys of their lives.
Monica and David's parents encourage them to develop their own interests, while keeping them close to home and sheltered from the outside world. After the wedding, David moves in with Monica and her mother and stepfather, Maria Elena and Bob, and the couple begins to dream of a more independent life. There is a constant grey line between the young couple's capacity as adults, and questions of just how much assistance they need, and whether their parents are willing to let go.
The mothers' biggest fear is what will happen when they are no longer there to support David and Monica. This concern leads to an epiphany for Maria Elena, who poignantly comments, "As parents, we want people to look upon our children with special needs like anyone else. We want them to be treated with respect and with dignity... And yet, because we want to protect them so much, we are typically the first ones who treat them poorly by subconsciously denying them their rights to have a normal life."
After the honeymoon, the realities of everyday life resurface. When Maria Elena and Bob move just north of Miami, Monica and David are also uprooted, disrupting the routines they rely upon. In the midst of the chaos, David is diagnosed with diabetes, further threatening the couple's dream of autonomy.
Maria Elena and Bob accompany them to Best Buddies, an organization that creates opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, where an employment consultant explains, "Ultimately, it's about independence � independence with support."
Gradually, Monica and David take the first steps towards more independent lives, volunteering for a family friend's charity sale, cultivating friendships in their new community and joining a theater company. And Maria Elena and Bob learn that while they are concerned about the couple's welfare, it's important to let them go out into the world.
"There is a tendency to infantilize people with Down syndrome, but Monica and David's love, and their desire for an adult life, are very real," explains director Alexandra Codina. "Like all issues relating to adults with intellectual disabilities � dating, marriage, housing, employment, education, the future and parents' roles � there is no clear line. But there is a clear right for all individuals to pursue their dreams and potential."
She adds, "Each person living with a disability can have a completely different way of dealing with life's circumstances. What is so exciting is how many people who once would have been overlooked are now able to thrive in a variety of environments, including work and relationships."
Alexandra Codina was named one of the "10 Filmmakers to Watch in 2009" by The Independent.
MONICA & DAVID is an HBO Documentary Films presentation; directed and produced by Alexandra Codina; produced by Deborah Dickson; editors, Mary Mahardt and Paola Gutierrez-Ortiz; cinematographer, David Fenster; cinematographers, Juan Carlos Zaldivar and Abel Klainbaum; composer, Steven Schoenberg. For HBO: senior producer, Nancy Abraham; executive producer, Sheila Nevins.
