New Online Financial Resources
Squared Away periodically alerts readers to information online that might be useful to them. These three crossed the transom in August:
- Natural disasters quickly turn into financial disasters. On Hurricane Katrina's 10th anniversary, the National Endowment for Financial Education and other organizations have released a guide, Disasters and Financial Planning. The guide includes tips on how to insure properly against hurricanes, floods, or forest fires and how to hire contractors to make repairs after disaster hits.
- The U.S. Social Security Administration posts a raft of brochures online to explain everything from how to get your newborn's Social Security number or replace your old one (citizen or non-citizen, international students) to disability information for veterans. There's also information on federal benefits many people may be unaware of. For example, low-income Medicare enrollees can apply for extra help – up to $4,000 per year – to pay for their prescription drugs. Many of the brochures come in multiple languages, including Somali and Vietnamese. Click here to see the full list of publications on socialsecurity.gov.
- The Center for Financial Services Innovation's Consumer Financial Health Study sorts Americans into four financial states: "unengaged," "tenuous;" "at risk," and "striving." They're characterized by typical behavioral characteristics of how they handle – or fail to manage – their finances. For example, the unengaged typically "do not know how much their monthly debt payments are."

Tomatoes are a must-have ingredient in many meals. That's why it should never miss out from your garden. Contrary to what many people think, tomatoes are easy to grow.
As a matter of fact, they don't require a lot of tending compared to other garden plants. A mature plant can give you great looking tomatoes for the next couple of months.
If you'd like to plant yourself some tomatoes, here are five tips to help you get started.
1. Space Properly
One thing that tomatoes love is space. You need to properly space your tomato vines so that they can each get ample sunlight. Proper spacing also makes it possible for each plant to get all
the nutrients it needs from the soil.
It also slows down the spread of diseases from one tomato plant to another. The amount of space you need to leave is determined by the variety of tomatoes you're planting.
The stockier varieties only need 2 feet of spacing while the long vined intermediate variety requires at least 3 feet.
2. Plant Deep
When planting the tomato seedling, you should plant it with about two thirds of the stem being below the surface.
The buried part of the stem will sprout more roots thus offering extra support to the vine as it grows. Also, make sure that the area you're planting is well prepared and manured before transplanting your tomato seedlings.
3. Protect Young Seedlings
Young tomato seedlings face many threats, with one of the most rampant being cutworms. That's why it is important to protect your seedlings from being attacked by these worms.
The best way to protect them is by using them in organic deterrents like cardboard. All you have to do is place strips of cardboard around each seeding.
This will keep away the cutworms and in the end, break down and decay once the seedlings are older.
4. Prune Often
To keep your tomato vines healthy, you need to prune them regularly. When the plant first reaches 3 feet high, you should prune the bottom leaves. They don't contribute much to the plant and are better of gone.
In addition, the bottom leaves are more susceptible to pathogens and diseases that might be in the soil. That's why it is good for you to prune them.
Apart from the bottom leaves, you should also prune any small stems that are not flowering. They'll just compete for nutrients even though they aren't producing any fruit.
5. Use Fertilizer
When transplanting your seedlings, it is advisable to add a major nutrient fertilizer into the soul.
This ensures that there are enough nutrients in the soil for your tomato plants to grow. You can find these kinds of fertilizers in any gardening supplies shop.
6. Mulch
Mulching plays an important role in ensuring healthy growth of your tomatoes. You should start mulching several days after transplant your seedlings.
Mulching has several functions. Forstarters, it reduces the amount of water evaporation from the soil thus enabling the soil to hold moisture for longer periods of time.
Secondly, mulching prevents weeds from growing. Shredded leaves and straw are the best materials to use as mulch.
That's it! Growing large succulent tomatoes isn't hard at all. All you need are basic gardening skills and the tips we've mentioned here and you're bound to have a bountiful harvest.

Introducing Portrait Retouching
Photo retouching in itself has a wide variety of applications. One of the most common ones is portrait retouching. As the name suggests, it is the art of using editing techniques to better enhance the content of a portrait and the various elements within it.
This mainly includes things like removing spots and stains from the skin, making the teeth whiter, changing the complexion of the skin and so on. There are plenty of standards that the person editing himself will have to take into consideration. However, the customer also has a say in these things, thus making the job a tad more complicated.
Luckily for you, we are willing to provide such a portrait retouching service to anyone willing to take it. Back in the old days, retouching was done with the help of paint but these days, anything is possible with a computer and the right kind of knowledge.
Photo Retouching Services – What You'll Get from Us
As mentioned before, there are plenty of things that can be done to a portrait in order to make it look good. But what are the things that you will get from us in terms of services? We definitely take the customer instructions into consideration when doing the editing. But generally speaking, here are some things that we can provide:
- Some general adjustments like improving light quality, brightening shadows, making better angles for the light, dimming them out etc.
- Getting rid of unwanted things from the picture. After all, a portrait should concentrate solely on the subject matter of the picture. As such, everything else should take a back seat.
- Correction of different color shades present in the photo. Also taken into consideration are things like contrast, hues, color compliments and things like that.
- Change in the texture of the skin, its glow, adding sharpness to the hair, eyes and sometimes even the ornaments that the person may be wearing. This applies for the clothes as well (removing seams, wrinkles, spots and stuff like that)
- Highlighting certain features of the person by adding more color or by changing certain elements to make it look good. Resizing certain elements also works wonders sometimes.
- Other distractions in and around the portrait should be removed as well, so that the focus lies mainly on the actual painting and nothing else. The subject of the painting plays a huge role in deciding things like these.
In general, this is the kind of work we do when it comes to portraying retouching. If your needs seem to match any of the above services, feel free to use our services.
What is Portrait Headshot Retouching?
When it comes to portrait retouching, one of the most common type of services that we provide is called the headshot retouching service. You can probably guess from the name but if you cannot, it deals with portraits that contain the photo of your entire face.
Usually, it is only the face that exists in the entire portrait, hence the name Headshot. With some professional portrait editing, it is possible to make any kind of headshot look good. We have received some terrible looking headshots from customers in the past and yet, the final result is nothing less than amazing to say the least.
The idea is pretty much the same as before; do everything possible to keep the subject of the photo at the forefront at all times. In this case, the subject matter happens to be your face. And the objective is to enhance it by any means necessary without making it seem inorganic.
There are some ways of going about it:
- Artificial makeup is the oldest technique in the book when it comes to editing headshots. These days, most cell phones have the required software to pull this off, so imagine what a professional can do with it.
- Enhancing the features of your face which make you stand out is what the main concept is all about. All the editing is directed towards exactly that.
- There are also provisions to remove pimples, dark spots and anything else that makes your skin look bad. Consider it an artificial 'beautifier'.
- The color of your skin may also be changed if you so desire. Obviously, there is a limit to how much can be done but the idea is there.

Thanks for chatting to us, Mark. First, you've outlined the exploration of food issues as the inspiration for your project. Where did that journey start for you?
The project began in 2007 while I was working with another artist on a documentary about hunger in the United States. I found myself wondering about where our food came from, the choices we make on a daily basis, our responsibility to society and the land - these led me to begin to explore food issues visually.
We've seen from your site that you travelled to several cities and states for the project. Which were some of your favourites to see?
I really love the State of Texas - even with all of its quirks. Getting to see so many different areas of the state was great, but I also really love Portland, OR.
As you collected information for the project on the road, what sort of format did you envisage the piece taking? When did the photography medium start to take hold?
As I was already working as a visual artist, I started with photography. What I wasn't expecting was to be so drawn into the inviting of complete strangers into the project. I am passionate about food issues, but what really sustained my curiosity over the four years was the interactions I was having with such diverse people. This way of working has shifted my art practice to now seeking to have engagement and conversation as my primary medium.
University Students, 3-Person Household, Drummer for death metal band.
Where does your fascination with food culture and food issues come from?
I am fascinated with food because it is something that we all relate to. It can be so simple, yet so complex. Most of all I still find myself intensely curious about food and it's surrounding issues. I have been semi-obsessed with Food Deserts lately and am beginning a new project here shortly that will begin to explore them in different ways.
You must have really met some characters along the way, and connected to strangers through the intimacy of food and consumption. Which people, if any, stand out in your memory? Why do you think that is?
I truly met some amazing people while working on this project and I am thankful to each of them. Right now I have been thinking a lot about the family that participated in the 100 mile diet for one year. As my wife and I have been trying to source more food locally, it is a real commitment to undertake. Making significant changes for something you believe in is difficult and I am really inspired by their dedication.
Botanist, 1-Person Household, Feels more comfortable among flora and fauna of his era than people.
There's a real element of sadness and dark humour to how the contents of a fridge can speak volumes about its owner. Where do you think the boundaries of hunger, income and patterns of habit cross?
I think that hunger and food insecurity are very complex. It is about broken relationships, lost dreams, tragedy, illness, mental health and so many other things. Each situation is unique and I was constantly amazed at how people found strategies to make it through the day.
Defunct Amusement Park Owner, 1-Person Household , Former WWII Prisoner of War.
How long did you travel around the country to document the fridge interiors? Were there any particular similarities or defining characteristics you noticed from one town to the next?
I worked on the project for four years. Some trips were taken to specifically work on the project, but I also took my 4x5 camera with me everywhere I traveled during that time. I of course saw some regional factors in regards to brand but as soon as I started to think that a fridge would be a certain way, I would be nicely surprised.
Your choice to only show the fridge, and never its owner, is quite a powerful statement. What do you think the contents of one's food can really reveal about a person?
I started out the project photographing the owner of the fridge and the fridge itself. After six months of this I felt that the project was becoming more about judgement of the person than about self reflection. I threw out all the work and started over again. I think that we can learn something about people through their fridge - whether that be about their lifestyle, locale, priorities, habits - but the real richness comes when we use them as a launching point for our own imaginations to envision new ways of living and relating.
Street Advertiser, 1-Person Household, Lives on £265 fixed monthly income.
Finally, we have to ask: what's in your fridge right now?
Oh, gosh. Here's a list:
- Watermelon
- Beer
- Milk
- Turkey
- Leeks
- Eggs
- Spinach
- Blueberries
- Avocado
- Leftover vietnamese food
- Maple syrup
- Bread
- And a few other items!

text: Policymaking On Trade And IP Faces Mixed Prospects In 2008 13/02/2008 by David Cronin for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)By David Cronin for Intellectual Property Watch With America's political elite fixated on the race for the White House, the likelihood that the world's most powerful country will make much progress during 2008 in free trade negotiations with other nations appears slim. Across the Atlantic, however, European Union officials have indicated they will be vigorous in insisting that high standards for protecting intellectual property are upheld as universally as possible. Numerous other bilateral talks are ongoing around the world as well. And attention may be drawn from the longstanding trade negotiations at the World Trade Organization. Peter Mandelson, the European commissioner for trade, has identified IP rights as a core concern for firms from the continent who do business abroad. "For Europe, innovation and invention and creativity are the crucial added value in the things we make and present to the rest of the world," he said during a recent visit to China, adding that IP protection "is now more central to Europe's drive for competitiveness than it has ever been." The idea that the EU's executive, the European Commission, should mount a campaign to insist that patents held by western firms are respected throughout the world was contained in its 2006 strategy paper, Global Europe. Brussels officials handling negotiations aimed at deepening economic links with foreign countries have proposed that provisions on IP be inserted into any eventual free trade accords that are signed. For much of last year, one of the principal objectives of the Commission's trade department was to secure Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) with nearly 80 countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Pacific. But in most cases an end-of-2007 deadline for achieving comprehensive agreements was missed. EPAs were signed with 35 countries, most of which were labelled 'interim' and were restricted to trade in goods. Talks aimed at expanding these free trade deals to such matters as services liberalisation, competition, government procurement and intellectual property will continue this year. The only so-called full EPA concluded in December was with 15 islands in the Caribbean. It stated that both the EU and the Caribbean are determined to ensure increased protection of IP rights "appropriate to the levels of development" of each side. Both committed themselves, too, to "an adequate and effective implementation of the international treaties dealing with intellectual property". The agreement also says that the Caribbean countries shall "consider acceding" to the International Convention for Protection of New Varieties of Plants, which is known by the acronym UPOV. Dating from 1961, that accord allows for a system akin to patents to be applied to varieties of seeds that are considered as discoveries or inventions. While small farmers had an automatic right under the original agreement to use seed varieties – even those subject to such a patent – on their own land, that right was scrapped when UPOV was modified in 1991. Dalindyebo Shabalala from the Center for International Environmental Law in Geneva said it is significant that the Caribbean countries have only agreed to consider joining UPOV, as opposed to making a more binding commitment to do so. Nonetheless, he argued that it would be wrong if EU officials now put pressure on countries from Africa and the Pacific to accept free trade agreements modelled on the one signed by the Caribbean. He also said he was perturbed by indications that the emphasis of the EU's trade activities this year will be placed more on placating large firms than on how trade can be used as an instrument for alleviating poverty. "Global Europe is not a development strategy; it is a mercantilist strategy," he said. "When it comes to intellectual property enforcement, it is always about protecting European markets from competition. Global Europe offers an inappropriate framework if we talk about Europe's relationship with developing countries. And they do include China, India, Brazil and South Africa. While they may be beginning to compete, their people still continue to live in poverty and often in conditions that Europeans can barely comprehend." Last year Mandelson gave a commitment that the EPAs would contain no provisions leading to pharmaceutical patents being enforced in a way that hampered the poor's access to medicines. But anti-poverty campaigners are concerned that free trade deals with countries outside the African, Caribbean and Pacific bloc may have clauses that could prove damaging to public health. One major bone of contention that has arisen in talks between South Korea and the EU concerns the Union's efforts to have rules relating to 'data exclusivity' incorporated in a planned free trade agreement between the two sides. Data exclusivity covers the length of time which information used to make a medicine under patent cannot be used by manufacturers of generic drugs. While the EU had sought that the Korean authorities extend their current period of data exclusivity for new drugs from six to 10 years, that proposal was rejected by the Seoul government. Still, the Commission said on 1 February that it is close to clinching a deal with Korea on the IP aspects of this agreement. It remains unclear, however, whether there will be sufficient progress on other topics under discussion for the EU to sign an agreement with Korea this year. Hopes by the Commission to conclude one by the end of 2007 were not realised. The EU is also involved in trade liberalisation talks with India and the countries of Central America. And the Commission has indicated that it wishes to revive talks with the South American Common Market (Mercosur) that bands together Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. Although talks with Mercosur opened in 1999, they have been stalled for some time. Other free trade negotiations are ongoing around the world without the EU or US, involving countries such as Japan, Australia, Canada, India, China, Thailand and those in Southeast Asia. In addition, developed countries have launched negotiations among themselves for a global Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which are expected to advance this year. Significantly, the focus of EU officials' attention could be more on key bilateral or regional trade negotiations this year, rather than the multilateral talks being organised by the World Trade Organisation. Efforts Continue at WTO Pascal Lamy, the WTO's secretary-general, said on 5 February that he was hoping for a breakthrough in the troubled Doha Round of global trade liberalisation talks shortly. "We all know what is happening in the world economy right now," he said. "I think we are also aware of the need for a successful outcome to the round by the end of this year. The coming weeks will be an extremely intensive period for all of us, but I believe the potential results of the round, and the benefit they can provide across the membership, are worth fighting for." Seasoned observers of international trade politics suggest, though, that major progress for Doha is essentially impossible in a US election year. If negotiations advance, there are IP issues on the table, including an EU proposal to raise the level of trade protection for geographical indications (distinctive products named for places) on a variety of products to the level already enjoyed by wines and spirits, and a separate developing country proposal to require the disclosure of the origin of biological resources and traditional knowledge in patent applications. These have been discussed in the Council on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), which also has seen increased efforts by developed countries to raise IP enforcement in the council. Also at the WTO, dispute settlement cases on IP issues will continue. The WTO launched an investigation on 27 November into allegations that China is unfairly limiting the flow of copyrighted material from the United States into the country. A panel also was formed on 25 September for a separate IP-related case filed by the US alleging that China has failed to provide "criminal procedures and penalties to be applied in cases of wilful trademark counterfeiting or copyright piracy on a commercial scale that fail to meet certain thresholds." Alexandra Strickner, a Vienna-based campaigner with the Institute for Agricultural and Trade Policy, says that the emphasis on bilateral deals is not helpful for developing countries. "It is much harder for developing countries to defend themselves in bilateral or regional negotiations with a big power bloc like the EU," she said. "In the WTO, they can form themselves into bigger coalitions." She urged particular vigilance in monitoring the EU's talks with Central America, given the high level of biodiversity there. Inserting IP clauses into an agreement with Central America could lead to western firms asserting their control over seed varieties or other natural resources there, she warned. Marc Maes from the Belgian anti-poverty group 11.11.11 said that patents can be used by multinational firms to try to control natural resources held in developing countries. "Ninety-five percent of patents are in the North, whereas 90 percent of biodiversity is in the South," he added. Although the EU is not currently eyeing a free trade deal with China, Mandelson will almost certainly remain in regular contact with Beijing throughout the year. He has been critical of the Beijing authorities for not clamping down on the widespread counterfeiting of goods for which European firms hold patents. In 2006, European companies lost one dollar out of every five they made in China because of what Mandelson described as the "theft" of IP rights. Since 2003, the EU and China have been engaging in a formal dialogue on IP issues. While Mandelson said in late 2007 that Brussels officials have been patient throughout this dialogue, "the return we have received on that patience has been frankly too low." Ilias Konteas, a specialist on IP issues with the employers' lobby group Business Europe, said it might be necessary for the EU to begin proceedings against China at WTO level. "The dialogue with China has been taking place for some time now," he added. "We are at the stage where we need to see whether or not it is producing concrete results. If nothing is coming out of this process, then we have to re-evaluate it." The EU's efforts to have IP provisions included in free trade agreements mirrors the approach that the Bush administration has been taking in the US. In December, the US Congress gave its blessing to a new agreement with Peru. Its approval of accords negotiated with Colombia, Panama and South Korea has also been sought. But analysts predict these probably will not get the necessary backing from Congress in a hurry because lawmakers have been distracted by the presidential race. The Democratic Party has indicated it may make some changes to trade policy if it wins control of the White House this November. Hillary Clinton, who is battling with her fellow Senator Barack Obama to be the Democrats' presidential nominee, has stated that she would be prepared to revise free trade agreements already signed by the US. These would include the North American Free Trade Agreement which her husband Bill negotiated with Canada and Mexico. But Aziz Choudry, an editor of bilaterals.org, a website critical of US trade policy, said it would be a mistake to believe a Democratic president will pursue a radically different agenda from Republican George W. Bush. "The flavours might be a little different but it is highly unlikely that the fundamentals of trade policy will change substantially," Choudry added. "The Democratic Party has very close connections with corporations in the US. They are not going to do anything that is going to rock the boat and upset major trans-national corporations."

I keep its foot on the pedal so long it is probably not that much risk of anything like that happening anytime soon ... but it's certainly good to be an undercurrent in the discussion ... in the coming days with with your Olsen I that I plan to drop in its gonna be a very interesting night stay with this deep I wanted to know is I mean now has been a bit of that blog to Skilling Thirroul anomalies in the South actually felt a sudden ... maybe going through this with a fine toothed um what did you find I need this is ... basically a very good report community of ... almost every industry had a jobs beyond cutback since all were in the government sector which has been steadily cutting jobs ... and that probably was gonna get worse as the sequester takes effect this month ... aam and that had even happened yet McGovern was cutting jobs ... aam and then the only other industry to cut jobs of all this transportation that's probably ... a seasonal thing as the wind down after a really big holiday season ... everything else manufacturing construction ... on health care education all those of my strong job gains ... none of this um the the figures of within that somewhat when within that with all that Ellis up ... some key information one is the participation rate because everyone believes in the country is now in the workforce ... aam some people ran some people out tell us that tell us about that yet that that this picture it actually fell a little bit this month and that's one of those sort of like concerning things that otherwise really good report we saw this big drop down menu in the unemployment rate to seven point seven percent ... had a good portion of that was that people getting jobs about a hundred and thirty thousand people who said he didn't say they've bought were employed last month ... or what this one that's good ... but the labor force ... decline ... has declined by more than the people who got jobs ... they see what that means is this we still have this enormous long-term unemployed problem with these people been unemployed for more than six months more than twelve months and some people are getting discouraged dropping out of a labor force ... there is a ... video that with fourth official rate ... over the long term ... is dropping because baby boomers are aging and the retiring but there's also this issue of workers giving up who are legally least we can find a job anymore and that's concerned ... ten on the back to Sudeep Reddy and stay with us felt pumps today ... one other things remaining now Washington is the update the sequester might actually give Obama hold the economy ... this novel would suggest otherwise ... this really shows the divide between the private sector and the public sector when it comes ... to live to hiring ... the private sector despite some of the year's race we saw the for at least last month ... look through some of the noise ... I in in now from Washington but the looking underneath the eye when we look at that the payroll figures from January saying the downward revision revision ... it does leave some concern that the sequester could knock this off of course yet again ... we've seen a year after year after year are strong payroll numbers ... it waiting in a year coming into this praying ... that everything falls apart in the spring so you have to ... be a little bit cautious when you look at numbers like this given the historical record of apparel numbers falling apart as you get into the middle of the year and it would coincide perfectly this time ... with the sequester actually leading to real cuts ... in jobs ... and that some real that the economy ... when it comes to economic growth ... ok we may go back to Phil Izzo for final was felt ...

City News Service
The Los Angeles City Council next week will consider offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the person who gunned down a 19-year-old man at a South Los Angeles car wash. Councilman Bernard Parks introduced a motion to offer the reward after Tavin Price's mother and a local pastor made public pleas for a monetary incentive to generate leads in the case. Price was approached by a person at 11 a.m. May 29 as he went into a smoke shop near the Five Minute Car Wash, 3312 W. Florence Ave., where he had gone with his mother and a family friend.
The individual made references to Price's red shoes and gang affiliation. Price ignored him and went back to his car, police said. Five minutes later, another individual approached Price from behind and shot him several times. Price died at a hospital. The council is expected to vote on the $50,000 reward at its June 24 meeting.
Anyone with information about the case was urged to contact detectives Eric Crosson or Fernando Cuevas of the LAPD Criminal Gang Homicide Division at (323) 786-5100 or (323) 786-5113.


text: 'Like all his Beethoven readings, it is suffused with lyricism; orchestral tone and phrasing are tenderly nursed, and beautifully reproduced'. Words written in The Record Guide—the music industry's bible in the 1950's—and many would still rate Karajan's first Beethoven cycle as the finest he placed on disc. It had been the impresario, Walter Legge, who rather controversially brought him to London in 1946 while the conductor's relationship with the Nazi party was still unresolved. Yet from a musical point of view his credentials were impressive, and when teamed up with Legge's recently formed Philharmonia Orchestra the results spoke for themselves. That the cycle had a rather short shelf-life was much due to the arrival soon after of Klemperer's much vaunted series and Karajan's stereo remake with the Berlin Philharmonic, a full cycle made in the early 1960s. That this 1952 Eroica remains one of the finest on disc stems from Karajan's rejection of the overbearing sadness that had become the norm in the second movement. The scherzo is vivacious—the horn playing never since equalled—and the final has a fresh and urgent feel. His First, recorded the following year, is generally lightweight, elegant and perfectly shaded. Of course if you want the hard-hitting Karajan you will look to his much later cycles, and though at the time the Philharmonia were one of the world's finest orchestras, there were moments when the playing could have been better.The original sound was very good and the transfers are immaculate.

Nashville Predators
2008/09: 40-34-8, 88 points (5th in Central, 10th in west)
Arrived: Marcel Goc (SJ), Ben Guite (COL), Peter Olvecky (MIN), Ben Eaves (Finland)
Departed: Radek Bonk (KHL), Vernon Fiddler (PHX), Greg Zanon, Ville Koistinen (FLA), Antti Pihlstrom (Sweden), Scott Nichol (SJ), Jed Ortmeyer (SJ),
One of these things is not like the other. The Predators were the only team from the Central Division to miss the postseason last year, finishing just three points out the 8th and final spot. Expect much of the same from the Predators this season, the reason being their offense. Sure, Jason Arnott and Jean-Pierre Dumont are good for around 70 points each, but after that there isn't really anyone else providing an offensive punch other then Steve Sullivan, who is surrounded with question marks after coming back from back surgery. Its too bad because they have Shea Weber and Ryan Suter on the blueline, and both are capable of 50 point seasons. If Nasville is to find a way into the playoffs this season it will likely be due to the guys in net. Pekka Rinne and Dan Ellis are both very capable of being the number one guy and that should provide some healthy competition in the Predators net this season.
Jason Arnott -Arnott has been quietly hovering just below a point per game for the past 4 seasons. The problem with Arnott is that he has never played 82 games in 15 NHL seasons and has only broke 75 games in 4 of those 15. If he can stay healthy he should finish right around 30 goals, 70 points and 50 PIMS.
Jean-Pierre Dumont -Dumont has turned out to be a great signing by the Preds. He is averaging 22 goals and 68 points in his 3 seasons in Nashville and has only missed 2 games in that time. 25 goals and 70 points, but could have more if the Preds some more offensive pieces this season.
Steve Sullivan – As noted in our Exposing Yahoo's Draft Rankings article, Yahoo has Sullivan ranked at 406 overall. Of course injuries are a concern, but Sullivan showed he can still play, putting up 32 points in 41 games after missing ample time to back surgery. A point per game is not out of reach and Sullivan has late-round sleeper written all over him this year.
Shea Weber – 17 goals, 40 points and 60 PIMS was impressive as a sophmore, but 23 goals, 53 points, and 80 PIMS last year was even more impressive. Should be one of the first 5 defencemen picked if you're league counts penalty minutes.
Ryan Suter – If you are playing the point with Shea Weber on the powerplay you are bound to get assists, although Suter would likely do it anywhere. His point total has increased every season (45 last year), but the max is likely 50. Suter has averaged 72 PIMS the last two seasons in Nashville.
Pekka Rinne/Dan Ellis – The goaltending situation in Nashville, barring a trade or injury, is likely going to be 1a-1b with coach Barry Trotz playing the hot guy. Both are capable of being the number 1, but I expect to see Rinne getting the nod to start the season. Don't count Ellis out though, he proved his worth in the 07/08 playoffs with an impressive series against the Red Wings. If you end up having Ellis or Rinne on your team, be sure to check out our Between the Posts section to see who's starting in goal everyday, once the season starts

[see also Longair, High Energy Physics, 2nd edition, vol. 1, p. 64, and Wikipedia]
Maxwell's equations imply that all classical electromagnetic radiation is ultimately generated by accelerating electrical charges. It is possible to derive the intensity and angular distribution of the radiation from a point charge (a charged particle) subject to an arbitrary but small acceleration $\Delta v / \Delta t$ via Maxwell's equations (and retarded potentials), but the complicated math obscures the physical interpretation that remains clear in J. J. Thomson's simpler derivation.
If a particle with electrical charge
$q$ is at rest, Coulomb's law
implies that its electric field lines will be purely radial: $E =
E_{\rm r}$.
Suppose a charged particle is accelerated to some small velocity
$\Delta v \ll
c$ in some short time $\Delta t$. At time $t$ later, there will
be a perpendicular component of electric field
$${E_{\bot} \over E_{\rm r}} = {\Delta v \, t \, \sin\theta \over c \Delta t}~,$$
where $\theta$ is the angle between the acceleration vector and the line from the charge to the observer.

The Maremma Sheepdog is a solidly built breed. Its body is strong and well muscled. The chest is deep and broad. From the head extends a neck that is broad and well muscled. There is some loose skin and extra fur at the neck area. It has a massive head that features an average size muzzle and a vague stop. The nose is prominent and black. Its eyes are not prominent and black. Its eyes are not prominent, but average size. The ears are small and set high on its head, but hang loosely at the sides of its head. They are shaped like the letter "V." Both the front and back legs are straight. The breed's tail is set low and hangs down at the hocks. It has a profuse amount of thick fur.
The Maremma Sheepdog is a brave and large breed. It is bred as a guardian of flock and naturally seeks to protect those that are closest to it. While it is devoted, it does have a tendency toward independence. This may hinder training this breed, but not too a significant degree.
Height and Weight
The Maremma Sheepdog varies in size from male to female. Males are about 25-28 inches tall and weigh an average of 77-99 pounds. Females are 23-26 inches tall and weigh about 66-86 pounds.
Health Problems
The Maremma Sheepdog is a generally healthy breed. Hip dysplasia is the most common condition that may develop in some types. Although rare, some types develop conditions of the thyroid.
Ideal Living Conditions
The two big issues with the living conditions of the Maremma Sheepdog are space and temperature. Because the breed is very active, small spaces are not recommended. A large backyard or other spacious areas is more suitable for this breed. While its coat will protect it in cold weather, it does not do well in extreme heat.
The Maremma Sheepdog needs an owner that can provide it with plenty of physical exercise. A daily walk may suffice for most breeds, but this dog needs physical activity that exerts a lot of energy. The exercise doesn't have to take place all at one time. Several opportunities of exercise throughout the day is fine.
Life Expectancy
The Mareema Sheepdog lives an average of 11-13 years.
Litter Size
The Maremma Sheepdog has an average of 6-10 puppies.
The Maremma Sheepdog has the benefit of possessing a coat that will protect it in most weather. However, this is a benefit for the dog only. An owner of this breed needs to spend a significant amount of time brushing and caring for the coat.
The Maremma Sheepdog has a history that begins more than 2000 years ago in Europe.
Flock Guard
White is the main color of the Maremma Sheepdog, but other shades (light yellow or cream) are also accepted.

The Sneak Adtackniks have to confess that we really don't follow contemporary music all that closely; we pretty much stopped at Steely Dan on the rock side, and Thelonious Monk for jazz.
But that doesn't mean we can't rap rapper Rick Ross for his songs featuring more plugs than Joe Biden's head.
Via New York magazine's Vulture blog:
One of the many spectacles on Rick Ross's God Forgives, I Don't (out, finally, this week) is a song called "Diced Pineapples," which turns out to be not so much about canned fruit as it is about sex. Still, the song's title is part of the long, time-honored tradition that is Rozay rapping about food. Lobster bisque, SpaghettiOs, chocolate milk — entire restaurants could be run from his musical food diary. And truly, the man can turn any food stuff into a synonym for money. It is a gift. So, in honor of the Boss's culinary enthusiasm, here, now, is a list of pretty much every single vaguely edible item ever mentioned in a Rick Ross song or verse. (Yes, metaphors count.)
What follows is an endless list of lyrics in 18 categories, from Breads to Legumes to Sweets and beyond.
Check them out and see if you can locate all the brand names. It's fun! And very educational.
(In the interest of full disclosure, we don't know how many of these product mentions might be paid promotion, but given this, we'd guess a fair number.)

Knapweed - Pink Wildflowers
Knapweed is a perennial wildflower with lovely purple flowers - looks somewhat like a thistle but has no spikes. It can be seen all over The Western Isles, Scotland and indeed throughout the UK. It really is a pretty wildflower.
Member of Daisy Family
It is a plant of rough grassland, hedgebanks, road verges and open woods. Knapweed is a member of the daisy family. It is a native species to Europe but has spread to North America.
Butterflies Love Knapweed
Butterflies also love it and very few plants will attract more than this one. The leaves are grey-green, lance-shaped and hairy
Flowers June - September
Knapweed grows to the height of 1 - 2 ft. It is usually in flower in June, continuing late in the autumn, and even when there are frosts it prevails.
Produces Not a purple Dye - but a Yellow Dye
Despite its purple flower, it is actually yellow that is the most typical colour of dye that knapweed produces.
Perennial Thistle Like - No Spines
Common knapweed or 'hardheads' is an upright perennial plant which looks somewhat like a thistle but has no spines.
Knapweed Leaves Attract Insects
The leaves are grey-green, lance-shaped and hairy
Dark flowerheads with pink-purple flowers appear on branched stems from June to September.
The leaves are very attractive to insects including hoverflies, bumble bees and a range of day-flying moths.
Alternative Name - Hardhead
The purple-magenta flowers project, thistle-like, from a flower head that resembles a small bristly pineapple and gives the plant its alternative name of Hardhead.
Insects Love Knapweed
The flowers are a pretty purple colour and a favourite among Bees and butterflies, hoverflies, bumble bees and a range of day-flying moths
Medicinal Uses
Has had medicinal uses as a diuretic & tonic, and wound healer. In Chaucer's day it was called Matfellon, and it was one of the ingredients of the ointments for wounds and the pestilence.
Lovely Meadow Plant - Wet and Dry Ground
No meadow would be complete without a sprinkling of the dark heads of Knapweed in summer. It grows along every wayside, and is found on hills and dry pastures in great abundance, being addicted to both wet and dry ground.

Labour's County Councillor for Gunton, Keith Patience has helped secure a reprieve for the Records Office in Lowestoft after Suffolk County Council had threatened to close the offices and replace them with an unmanned access point.
Cllr Patience and his Waveney District Council colleague, Cllr Peter Byatt, worked with the Save Our Records Office (SORO) campaign group to put pressure on the County Council to think again about their decision to close the office.
The council had taken the decision without consultation to close the office which was announced in a press release without any warning to the people of Lowestoft.
Cllr Patience said; "We welcome the council's U-turn. They have listened to the campaigners and have reversed their decision to close the Records Office for now, but we will need to keep an eye out for what the council proposes for the future. We want to keep a fully staffed office with access to all of Suffolk's heritage here in Lowestoft. We need an appropriate facility for that and Cllr Byatt and I will work for that."

Okay, let's just all agree on no "who cut the cheese" comments
The winner was carted off in a stretcher? Wow.
MKJ, don't worry. The guy said the cheese was definitely NOT for cutting...er...eating.
"There were a lot less casualties than normal."
Ya' know - just sprained ankles and spinal injuries. The usge.
This would be a great event to have at the Windsor Zucchini Festival, provided Windsor has a hill. Maybe they could build one...out of Zucchini!
'Course on the other side of the pond here in the good ol' USofA, a similar event would have been cancelled long ago due to the inability of the locals to get approval to hold the event due to the city attorney's concerns about liablity concerns. And don't get me started about cheese cutting insurance rates!
Behold the power of cheese.
they should combine this with the zucchini thing. ....
in the u.s. we could roll cheese wheels down a giant halfpipe while skateboarders try to retrieve it.
the winner would be Head Cheddar Shredder
Who moved my cheese?
There's a separate event for the women!!!
Gender discrimination! Women should be allowed the same opportunity for spinal injuries as men!
I see a class action!
p.s. the other pictures are hilarious!
Cheese...the misunderstood dairy product...
"This cheese is going straight in a cupboard when I get home. It's definitely not for eating."
Well, several dozen men just chased it down a hill, shedding blood and teeth en route, and tackled it at the bottom. What's not to eat? Do you have any idea what a cheese left in a cupboard smells like after a few days? Worse that the cheese chasers, even.
What is the prize for winning, besides multiple injuries, I mean?
I saw videos of last years event on my bros crapcam. He lives near Gloucester. It is incredible. The hill is quite large and very steep. The British are insane.

- Yield
- Makes 16 fried zucchini blossoms, serving 4 as an hors d'oeuvre
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 to 1 1/8 cups chilled seltzer or club soda
- 1/4 pound mozzarella, grated coarse (about 1 cup)
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh coriander
- 16 zucchini blossoms, pistils removed it desired
- vegetable oil for deep-frying
- In a bowl whisk together the flour, the curry powder, and the salt, add 1 cup of the seltzer, and whisk the batter until it is smooth. Let the batter stand for 10 minutes and, if desired, thin it with enough of the remaining seltzer to reach the consistency of crêpe batter. In a small bowl toss together the mozzarella and the coriander and divide the mixture among the blossoms, stuffing it inside them and pressing the ends of the blossoms closed.
- In a deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil to 375°F. on a deep-fat thermometer. Working quickly in batches, dip the blossoms, 1 at a time, in the batter, coating them completely, and fry them in the oil, turning them, for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp. (Make sure the oil returns to 375°F. before adding each new batch.) Transfer the blossoms as they are fried with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, sprinkle them with salt, and serve them warm.

Marguerite de Navarre's Heptamëron des Nouvells: The Poetics of Metaphysics and the Fiction of L'inquiétisme
THE PRISMATIC CONTES THAT CONSTITUTE L'HEPTAMÉRON OF MARGUERITE, THE QUEEN OF NA- VARRE--"THE PATRON OF THE RE- NAISSANCE, AND THE CHAMPION OF THE LEARNED"1--ARE COMPOSED, FROM THE start, to emphasize the caducity of the world we know. Essentially, they share with Castiglione a universe noted for its frailty, its perishability, its very impermanence. Together, these contes mark a decisive turning point in the development of Continental humanist poetics. Drawing simultaneously and consentaneously on the wit and paradox by which Erasmus exposed man's folly and rescued his wisdom and on the urgent need for cultivation and the strategic use of manners advanced by Castiglione, Marguerite transforms her predecessors' inherent disputation and open dialectic wholly into the service of fiction. The various embedded tales of L'Heptaméron function both philosophically and rhetorically to create a singular--and a memorable--nouvelle. L'Heptaméron (written from 1541; published posthumously in 1558) is a masterpiece of humanist fiction, a splendid and dazzling accomplishment, propaedeutic in turn to the great novels of Rabelais and Cervantes that will follow.
Marguerite de Navarre "was the greatest lady of her time," L. Cazamian writes. He echoes the praise given her at her death in 1544 that she was "certes tout l'honneur Des Princesses de nostre age"; "She was also the most cultivated and gifted woman of the French Renaissance," an "epitome" of humanist culture.2 But she is no feminist epigone of Boccaccio, just as L'Heptaméron is no mere imitation of the Decameron. Whereas the Italian collection of tales remains

'Seinfeld' star reveals the wild J. Peterman monologue the show cut
See Gallery
On a series filled with strange characters, no one on Seinfeld was quite like J. Peterman (John O'Hurley).
Elaine's (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) boss would speak in long, evocative passages, and it turns out that many of his most insane moments ended up on the cutting room floor. O'Hurley says he remembers them all, and why wouldn't he? The man is dedicated to his craft.
After Seinfeld finished, he perpetrated one of TV history's most meta moments ever when in 2001 he bought a sizable stake in the real J. Peterman Company and co-owns it with John Peterman, the man he played on television for years. The pair recently shot a pilot for The Travel Channel called Uncommon Goods, which he describes as a show about "the two of us looking for unusual things around the world."
In a conversation with The Hollywood Reporter, O'Hurley shares his favorite abandoned monologue and reveals why he initially said "no" to Seinfeld.
The writers seemed to have a lot of fun writing for Peterman. Why do you think that was?
The character had this tremendous arc to it. He went from this self-absorbed man of style to this raving corporate lunatic. Which made him even more fun. Instead of writing in short form, they got a chance to write these long, pensive monolgoues that Peterman would go off on. Sadly, most of them were cut from the show. The show was always ten minutes too long and the easiest thing to do is say, "Well, we just have to cut the Peterman monologue." The funny thing is, I still do the monologues and I remember every one of them. They are hysterically funny.
Which is your favorite of the cut?
I'll tell it to you exactly. It was the "Friar's Club" episode. Rob Schneider was playing my hard of hearing assistant. And instead of trying to tell them his next assignment, I just said, "Oh forget about. Elaine, you just do it." She was getting pissed off because of was putting everything onto her that was supposed to be his. I thought they were having a little Tête-à-tête office time. And so I decided I was going to play Cupid and try to encourage it. I bought them two tickets to the Karamazov Bros. Circus and I told her that she and Bob could knock off a little early and get ready. This is the monologue that was cut:
Elaine, I too am no stranger to love on the clock. As a youngster, my father apprenticed me to a honey factory in Belize. The chief bee keeper was this horrible hag of a woman with gnarled teeth and a giant wart that she called a nose. Wooh! She was not attractive, even by backwoods standards. But love is truly blind, Elaine, and as the days went on, working closer and closer together, that sweet smell of honey in the air, I knew I had to have that horrible creature. And I did. So you and Bob have a good time tonight.
What was the casting process like for Seinfeld?
I was on my own series at the time, a sitcom called A Whole New Ballgame. It was Richard Kind and Corbin Bernsen and Stephen Tobolowsky, and we had just been canceled by ABC. I was out having drinks with my manager that night, crying in my beer, and during that time Larry David's office had called my manager. Originally I said no. I didn't want to go guest star in somebody else's show after having a really good sitcom. But my manager never canceled the audition.
What do you think landed you the role?
They gave me a copy of the catalogue. They said, "We just want him to sound the way the catalogue is written." It was long adventure story about an Oxford button down. I said,"It sounds a little bit like a 40s radio drama combined with a little bit of a bad Charles Kuralt. That's where the bombastic voice and the self important, "Mr. MaGoo, legend in his own mind" character kind of started. In the first episode, they hadn't even finished writing the script when we did the table read. By the time they finished it, Elaine was working for me and I had a job. Everyone turned to me and said "looks like you have a job now."
Have you been able to pinpoint what made Seinfeld so different from other sitcoms?
The first time I read the script, I sat down at the table read and go "This is the No. 1 show on television? It's not even funny." And it doesn't read funny. It performs funny. That was the difference and that was what made the show so different.
What is the ultimate Peterman memory for you?
I loved being at the show because my office was my dressing room. I never went to my dressing room. I had one, I just never went to it. The office for me was the most joyful place to be. I had all of my personal stuff on my desk there. I knew every piece of that office and it was just so comfortable for me to be there.
What are some of your favorite memories from the show?
My office set was next to Jerry's apartment. I was privy to the stuff that was going on. I would watch Michael Richards prepare his physical moment when he'd walk into Jerry's apartment. Those skid stops he did were never the same. You'd have to go back to Buster Keaton to find that physicality in a comedic actor. It was brilliant. I used to sit in my chair and I would watch him. I'm watching greatness. Jerry would wander around, almost like he was a tourist. A bowl of cereal in one hand. A pair of jeans and an Oxford button down and sneakers. Cereal, constantly during the day. He was always standing along the back and taking it all in.
