"Planting and Maintenance Instructions are Included"
Lawn Applications:
New Lawns - Plant 5 to 10 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.
Over seeding an existing lawn - Bare spots can be easily filled in by spreading the area by hand or with a spreader. Remember after spreading the seed to lightly rake in the seed to cover no deeper than 1/4 inch. To properly over seed the entire lawn use 2 to 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. after removing as much unwanted dead or living vegetation.
Pasture Applications:
New Pastures - Plant 50 to 100 lbs. per acre.
(25lbs. takes 12-24 months to fully sod pasture.)
*The more seed applied to the lawn or pasture on the first planting the faster the lawn or pasture will fully establish a sod or grass base and prevent future over seeding to fill in bare spots.
Over seeding an existing pasture: Over seeding rates depend on the amount of established or existing grass in the pasture area. Common application for over seeding is 50 lbs. per acre.
Fertilization Recommendations:
Lawn Fertilization: Apply 5 - 10 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per 1000 sq. ft. four times a year(Late Spring, Mid Summer, Late Summer, Early Fall) for the first two years. After a fully established lawn has been accomplished apply 5 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft. two times (Mid Summer,Late Summer) a year.
Pasture Fertilization: Apply 250 - 350 lbs. of 16-04-08 slow release fertilizer per acre in Late Spring, Mid Summer and Early Fall. Animals that are grazing will damage the Bahiagrass pasture if the pasture is not properly fertilized annually. The grass must be provided with adequate nutrients to compete with the animals.
Additional Bahiagrass Information
Bahiagrass (Paspalum notatum Flugge.), a warm-season perennial, is grown throughout Florida and in the Coastal Plain and Gulf Coast regions of the southern United States. Bahiagrass is adapted to climatic conditions throughout Florida and can be grown on upland well-drained sands as well as the moist, poorly-drained flatwoods soils of peninsular Florida. In Florida, bahiagrass is used on more land area than any other single pasture species, covering an estimated 2.5 million acres. Most of this acreage is used for grazing with some hay, sod, and seed harvested from pastures.
Bahiagrass is a warm-season grass that produces more grazing in the summer than winter. Due to the longer growing season, forage growth is more evenly distributed throughout the year in southern Florida than in northern Florida. In southern Florida, growth of bahiagrass pastures slows in October, and many pastures have very little forage after mid-December until the grass starts growing again in early March. In northern Florida, bahiagrass pastures are productive from April to November. On selected sites, the grazing season can be extended by overseeding cool-season legumes and grasses on the bahiagrass pastures. These cool-season forages provide additional late winter and early spring grazing.
Bahiagrass is popular with Florida ranchers because it: 1) tolerates a wider range of soil conditions than other improved grasses; 2) has the ability to produce moderate yields on soils of very low fertility; 3) is easily established from seed; 4) withstands close grazing; and 5) is relatively free from damaging insects (except for mole crickets) and diseases.
Of the major perennial pasture grasses grown in Florida, bahiagrass is one of two propagated by seed. It is a heavy seed producer and begins sending up seed heads in early summer. Animals may graze bahiagrass seed heads and carry seed to new areas where it can become established, as the seed will germinate after passing through the digestive tract of cattle. In some instances, less competitive grasses such as Coastal Bermudagrass and the digitgrasses (Pangola) may eventually be crowded out by bahiagrass. Fortunately, a herbicide, Ally, is available that will remove Pensacola bahiagrass from bermudagrass hay fields.
Bahiagrasses are native to South America and are widely distributed in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Brazil. Several different types have been introduced into the U.S.
Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed is the most widely grown cultivar. It was found growing in Pensacola, Florida in 1935 by Escambia County Extension Agent, Ed Finlayson. Pensacola has long, narrow leaves, taller seed stalks, and it flowers earlier than other cultivars. Like other bahiagrasses, it has a fibrous root-system capable of growing to a depth of 7 feet or more. Pensacola has some cold tolerance, but top growth is killed by moderate frosts. In northern Florida more early-season and late-season production can be obtained from the Pensacola types than from other bahiagrass cultivars.
Tifton-9 Pensacola Bahia Grass Seed
Tifton-9 Pensacola was released in 1987. It was developed through a bahiagrass breeding program by Dr. Glen Burton, USDA, Tifton, Georgia. Compared with the Pensacola cultivar from which it was bred, Tifton-9 has much greater vigor in the seedling stage and develops longer leaves. It also grows better during the short-day, cool season and therefore has 30% greater yield than Pensacola, but quality is the same.
Bahiagrass should be planted on a well-prepared seedbed. Ensure that the seedbed is limed to a pH within the range of 5-6 before planting. The optimum temperature range for bahiagrass seed germination is 85 to 95° F. Summer may be the ideal time to plant in terms of optimum temperatures and moisture, but weed competition may be more severe. Spring plantings may result in a more rapid establishment of a sod if an April or May drought is avoided. In southern Florida, however, it may be planted any time soil moisture is sufficient for germination and seedling establishment. Seed should be broadcast at a minimium of 25 to 30 lb/A, and covered with 1/2 inch of soil. Higher seeding rates up to 100 lb/A can be used to obtain quicker establishment. Most producers use a rolling device after broadcasting the seed to give all the soil coverage necessary, and it produces a firm, smooth seedbed which conserves moisture. Precision planters, such as a cultipacker-type seeder or drill, may be used for more precise seed placement. Less seed should be required to obtain comparable stands when these types of planters are used. One of the best seeding methods is to firm the seedbed with a land roller, plant the seed with a drill, followed by the land roller. Mixing seed with fertilizer and spreading both in one application is a popular method with many producers. If this method is used, do not let the mixture set for more than one day before spreading. Also, be aware of the possibility of losing the nitrogen and potassium to leaching since there is no root system to absorb these nutrients when they are applied. This may not be as much of a problem for spring plantings as it is for summer plantings that are made during the time of excessive rainfall.
Bahiagrass seedlings are small and do not compete well with weeds. Therefore, weed control is very important during the first few months in the life of a new planting of bahiagrass. Also, the small seedlings are sensitive to phenoxy herbicides and thus mowing must be used to control weeds until the plants are 5 to 6" tall and well-established. At that time, a phenoxy herbicide can be used to control broadleaf weeds. Cattle should not be placed on the new planting for 3 months or until the stand is thick enough that you cannot see bare ground. On the other hand, if a "nurse crop" such as Japanese millet is seeded with the bahiagrass, the millet should be grazed enough to prevent it from shading the bahiagrass seedlings. At seeding rates used for pastures, it may take two growing seasons to get a stand well-established. Once established, bahiagrass has an aggressive growth habit and forms a dense sod which is relatively easy to maintain. Peak sod density usually occurs in the third year after seeding. For commercial sod production, the use of a higher seeding rate may allow you to obtain peak sod density more quickly.
Fertilization and Liming
Establishment Fertilization
For new plantings of bahiagrass, apply 30 lb/A N, all of the P2O5 , and half of the K2O recommended on your soil test report as soon as plants have emerged. Apply the remaining K2O and 50 to 70 lb/A N 30 to 50 days later. In southern Florida or if a soil test report is not available, apply 25 lb/A of P2O5 and 25 lb/A of K2O with the N as soon as plants have emerged and apply an additional 25 lb/A of K2O later with the second application of N. If manure or biosolids are used as the main source of nutrients, apply the entire annual application once the plants are large enough to withstand physical damage from the application. Magnesium is usually sufficient, but can be applied with the initial fertilizer if a soil test indicates that it is low. Low magnesium is usually remedied by using dolomitic limestone when the soil is limed. Sulfur may or may not be needed but can be added during establishment by using ammonium sulfate as the N source. Calcium will be sufficient when the pH is raised to the proper level. Micronutrient deficiencies are rare and under typical production situations do not limit growth.
Production Fertilization
From approximately Orlando south, recent soil fertility studies on established, grazed bahiagrass pastures have shown very little if any yield response to the application of P or K even though the soil may have tested low in these nutrients. This result may be explained by the fact that only the top 6 inches of soil is sampled for a soil test and roots of bahiagrass plants can absorb nutrients from much deeper in the soil profile. Additionally, between 70 and 85% of the P and K consumed in forage is recycled to the soil through manure. It is presently believed that soil testing for P and K in this southern region will not indicate whether a bahiagrass pasture will respond to an application of P or K. Therefore, in peninsular Florida south of an east-west line that runs through Orlando, no P or K is recommended for use on established grazed bahiagrass pastures, and soil testing for P and K will not be needed. The suggested fertility program for grazed established bahiagrass pastures south of Orlando is to apply about 60 lb of N alone in the spring. Phosphorous and potassium may need to be added to these pastures in the future if a pasture begins to perform poorly. From approximately Orlando north, soil testing and fertilization recommendations will continue as in the past.
In northern Florida, three fertilization options are recommended for established stands of bahiagrass. Detailed below, these are also printed as part of the soil test report from the Extension Soil Testing Laboratory. Choose the option which most closely fits your fertilizer budget, management objectives, and land capability. The P and K recommended on the soil test report should be modified according to the option chosen, because the P and K recommendation is dependent not only on the soil test results but also the amount of N used.
Low-N Option (for grazed pastures only) - Apply around 50 lb/A N. At this level, N will still be the nutrient that limits forage yield even when the soil test level for P and K is low. Therefore, do not apply P or K. Do not use this option if you cut hay because nutrient removal by hay is much greater than by grazing animals.
Medium-N Option - Apply around 100 lb/A N. At this level of N fertilization, P and K may be limiting if your soil tested low in these nutrients. Apply 25 lb/A P2O5 if your soil tested low in P and none if it tested medium. Apply 50 lb/A K2O if your soil tested low in K and none if it tested medium. Retest your soil every second or third year to verify P and K levels. If you plan to make a late-season cutting of hay, apply around 80 lb/A N between August 1 and 15 (about 6 weeks before the growing season ends).
High-N Option - Apply 160 lb/A N and the recommended rates of P2O5 and K2O for each of your pastures. Split the N into two applications of 80 lb N/A each, applying in early spring and early summer. The fertilization rates suggested in this option are high enough to allow bahiagrass pasture to achieve above average production. Management and environmental factors will determine how much of the potential production is achieved and how much of the forage is utilized. A single cutting of hay can be made without need for additional fertilization.
For established stands of bahiagrass, apply fertilizer in the early spring (February - March) to maximize much-needed spring growth. Bahiagrass is a very efficient forager and recovers nutrients from deeper in the soil profile than other popular forage grasses (up to 70% of N applied is recovered), so danger of leaching losses is low. Bahiagrass has a somewhat unique trait of accumulating nutrients in its stolons. It has been estimated that the stolons in a fully established mature stand of bahiagrass that is well-fertilized may contain a reserve of nutrients that will last 2 to 3 years.
If a good stand of legume (white clover, etc.) exists in the pasture, N fertilizer may be reduced or eliminated altogether. Phosphorus and potassium recommendations for the particular legume should be followed.
Soil testing should be used as a guide for applying lime. In southern Forida, lime to a pH of 5; in northern Florida, lime to a pH of 5.5. Bahiagrass pastures, once limed to the target pH, will require repeated liming depending on the source and amount of annual N application. Pasture may need to be limed again every 2 to 3 years if high rates (> 100 lb/A) of N from ammonium sulfate are used, annually, but about every 4 years if only 60 lb N/A from ammonium nitrate is applied, yearly. Also a higher target pH is required when pastures are overseeded with a cool-season clover or ryegrass. If white clover or other cool-season legumes are overseeded on a bahiagrass pasture, the pH should be raised to 6.5 prior to overseeding. A pH of 6.0 is needed for warm-season legumes and ryegrass. Although soil testing for P and K on bahiagrass pastures is not recommended for south Florida, soil testing for pH every 3 years as a guide for lime application remains very essential.
When establishing bahiagrass on new land that is very acidic, try to apply and incorporate the lime 6 to 12 months before planting the bahiagrass so that the lime will have had sufficient time to nutralize the soil acidity.
Bahiagrass is used mainly for beef cattle pastures. If it is fertilized and rotationally grazed, it will carry about one animal unit per acre from approximately mid-March to mid-November (on southern Florida flatwoods). Carrying capacity will be much less (2.5 acres per animal unit) under continuous grazing on upland sands and for a shorter period in northern Florida. The quality of bahiagrass forage is adequate for mature beef cattle, but weaned calves or stocker yearlings make relatively low daily gains, especially from July through September.
Over the years, bahiagrass has been compared with many other grasses at several locations in the state for both yield of dry matter and animal response. The other improved grasses tend to out-yield the older cultivars of bahiagrass, especially at locations where they are best adapted. No direct comparisons of other species with Tifton-9 are available. Pensacola tends to out-yield Argentine at northern locations primarily due to its superior frost tolerance. Tifton-9 will produce 30% more forage than Pensacola in both northern and southern Florida.
Animal response data is available for different locations within the state. In trials conducted at Belle Glade on organic soils, Argentine produced more animal gain per acre than Pensacola; both produced more than Pangola, and all produced less than St. Augustinegrass. Range Cattle Research and Education Center trials indicated little difference between Pensacola, Argentine, and Paraguay 22. Stargrasses have produced higher average daily gains and greater animal gain per acre than Pensacola bahiagrass. At Gainesville, Pensacola bahiagrass and Coastal bermudagrass produced similar animal gains. Pensacola compared with Floralta limpograss produced average daily gains that were similar, but carrying capacity and total animal gain per acre were greater for limpograss. Work at the West Florida Research and Education Center indicates that Pensacola produces slightly more animal gain than Argentine. At this time, the animal response data available for Tifton-9 Pensacola shows that both average daily gains and animal gain per acre are similar to those of other bahiagrasses indicating the difficulty of converting the forage yield advantage of Tifton 9 to beef products through proper grazing management. Average daily gains of about 0.5 lb/day and seasonal liveweight gains of 250-300lb/A can be expected from grazing well managed bahiagrass pastures.
Ryegrass and various legumes can be successfully grown with bahiagrass if soil moisture is sufficient and if competition from the bahiagrass is reduced before seeding the companion crop. Competition from the bahiagrass can be reduced by grazing off the top growth and disking or chopping the pasture just prior to or at seeding. Soil moisture is critical, especially for ryegrass and white clover; therefore, only selective sites should be overseeded with these cool season species. Irrigated or low-lying pastures in central and southern Florida, moist flatwoods in northeastern Florida, and clay soils in western Florida are suitable sites for overseeding these forages. The summer legumes, aeschynomene, Florida carpon desmodium, stylo, and phasey bean are adapted to the moist flatwoods soils in central and southern Florida. Other legumes, such as crimson clover, red clover, arrowleaf clover, alyceclover, hairy indigo, perennial peanut, and stylo have been used on sites that have good soil moisture but do not flood. Legumes should be used with bahiagrass where adapted. They not only improve pasture quality and all aspects of animal performance, but also reduce the use of N fertilizer. However, incorporation of legumes precludes the use of herbicides to control broadleaf weeds.
Seed Production
Bahiagrass seed production is another source of income on some ranches. Yields range from 50 to 150 lb and occasionally up to 350 lb of clean seed per acre. If a producer plans to harvest seed from a particular pasture or field of bahiagrass, field preparations should begin early in the year.
In January or February, if there is enough accumulated dead grass to supply fuel for burning, it should be burned. Burn after a rain when the tops have dried, but while the soil surface is still moist. Fertilize using the high N option, but split the N by applying the first application with P and K in February or March and the second application of N alone between late April and the end of May, before seed stalks have started to emerge and cattle have been removed. During the spring, keep the grass grazed as short as possible. Never let the top growth accumulate to the point where it lodges and completely shades the stolons. Not all seeds mature at the same time, but ripen throughout the summer. Seeds are mature and ready for harvest if they will strip off when pulled through partially closed fingers. The peak of seed maturation normally occurs in July for Pensacola and in August for Argentine bahiagrasses. If a custom seed harvester is used, arrangements should be made well in advance of the expected harvest date. After the seed is harvested, the remaining forage can be grazed or harvested for hay. The hay will be low in quality, and thus would be a good candidate for ammoniation.
Fertilized bahiagrass, cut at the prehead stage of growth, makes good quality hay. However, it is difficult to cut and bale because the grass is dense and low-growing. Surplus pasture growth accounts for most of the bahiagrass hay. Much of it is low in quality because it is cut after the plants head out and, in some cases, after heads are combined for seed. If hay is harvested from a grazed pasture in the late summer, it is suggested that additional N (60 to 80 lb/A) be applied to grow the hay crop. Also, apply P and K if these nutrients were not applied in the spring. Apply the fertilizer no later than 6 weeks prior to the end of the growing season which occurs around October 1. When a field of bahiagrass is used only for hay production, with multiple cuts, use the same fertility program as would be used for Coastal bermudaguess or other hay type grasses.
The commercial sod business in Florida is a large industry, and ranches may have an additional source of income from selling bahiagrass sod from suitable pastures. Argentine bahiagrass is the favored cultivar in the sod trade because it produces fewer seed heads than Pensacola. See Florida Cooperative Extension Service Bulletin 260, Sod Production in Florida , for additional information.
Crop Rotation
Bahiagrass is used in rotation with peanuts, soybeans, tobacco, and some vegetable crops grown on sand land. After 2 to 3 years growth of bahiagrass, the population level of certain nematodes and other pests is reduced. Also, a slight increase in organic matter and an improvement in soil tilth may result. Tifton-9 Pensacola, with its more rapid seedling growth and quicker establishment, has been suggested for use in certain crop rotation systems.
The best defense against weeds is to maintain a healthy sod that covers the ground. When needed, certain herbicides are available to control specific weeds. Banvel®, 2,4-D, or a combination of the two will control most broadleaf weeds. Velpar® is available for use on smutgrass, and Crossbow® and Remedy® on brush and briars. See fact sheet SS-AGR-08, Weed Control in Pastures and Rangelands , for detailed information on use of these herbicides.
Mole crickets and armyworms are two important pests of bahiagrass. Loss of pasture growth to armyworms is not prevalent but can occur especially during periods of summer or fall drought. Armyworms can be controlled by timely treatment with insecticides. To prevent extensive damage, treatment must be made when worms are small.
Bahiagrass is a favored host for mole crickets. The extensive stolon-root system is a source of enegy carbohydrates and nutrients for the pest. Mole cricket damage to bahiagrass pastures has continued to increase. Damage begins with early spring yellowing of grass followed by dieback in patches and thinning of stand later in the season. The damage inflicted by mole crickets to pasture is aggravated by acid soil conditions (pH less than 4.5). A biological control agent (a beneficial nematode that does not affect any plant) is now commercially available to help control mole crickets in bahiagrass pastures. Other biological control agents are being developed and will likely be available for use in the future. Sometimes toxic baits are available and complementary, which can be applied in the summer and early fall for temporary control mole crickets. See the current IFAS Insect Control Guide for control recommendations.
Bahiagrass is a good general use lawn or pasture grass. Once established it can withstand heavier grazing pressure than the other pasture or lawn grasses in common use. Cattle and Horses are less likely to destroy a stand of bahiagrass when pastures are overstocked and grass production is inadequate to meet the needs of the livestock. Bahiagrasses have the ability to withstand drought and to maintain sod at extremely low fertility levels.
Under minimum fertility, bahiagrass is not very productive, but it will persist as a pasture whereas other improved grasses under such conditions might be taken over by weeds and eventually lost. Bahiagrass has the ability to build up and store a supply of mineral nutrients as well as carbohydrate reserves in its stolons and roots. It also has the ability to continuously cycle nutrients and thus keep them in the top 4 to 6 inches of soil.
Bahiagrass is not as productive in terms of forage as some other grasses because it puts about 50% of its energy production in the sod. Its quality is often low from July into winter. When mature, all of the bahias are extremely fibrous, unpalatable, and low in feeding value. Not much can be done with regard to its productivity relative to that of other grasses, but the quality of feed available in the pasture can be improved by grazing young forage and by overseeding the pastures with summer legumes.
Bahiagrass is a good general-use lawn or pasture grass that responds to moderate fertilization, tolerates unfavorable conditions, and is easier to manage than other improved pasture grasses.

When it comes to winter jackets there is a fantastic collection this season for you to choose from. Starting with the casual ones focused on in this post, it's hard to overlook Penfield's efforts and with a seemingly expanded line of outerwear and a lot of stockists it is set to be the choice of many in the coming months. In the gallery below is their Summit Woodland Parka which is available at Urban Outfitters, but do not overlook other jackets in their collection most of which is available at Urban Industry.
They may now be a cliche, but quilted jackets are certainly still relevant this winter. Instead of choosing a Barbour like we all have, try Lavenham. They are cut shorted and slimmer and whilst they may cost a bit more than your standard Liddesdale they are certainly worth it in terms and quality and aesthetics. The Lavenham Raydon Quilted Jacket is available at ASOS.
Cheap Monday continue to impress with more than their denim this season and the Grey Canvas Parka in the gallery certainly proves this. Over-sized and simple, it's nice to see a jacket so often associated with green and Mod revivalists being given a refreshing makeover.

NH OKs opening of three new charter schoolsBy PAUL FEELY
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 21. 2013 5:50PM
The state's Board of Education has given the green light to open three new charter schools, and will hear a presentation next month from a group looking to establish a fourth.
The three schools approved last Thursday were the Gate City School for the Arts in Nashua, the Mountain Village Charter School in Plymouth and the Founders Academy Charter School in Londonderry.
"The Center would like to thank the State Board of Education and the Department of Education for moving quickly to address charter school applicants after the state budget deal was struck," said Matt Southerton, director of the New Hampshire Center for Innovative Schools.
"Within 48 hours of negotiations concluding, Commissioner Barry had met with four charter school applicants and the Board of Education had scheduled those groups to meet with the Board. It has been a challenging year for charter school applicants but the budget has been signed, the funding process has been fixed and soon New Hampshire children will have some exciting new options in public education."
The total number of approved charter schools in the state now stands at 21.
In September, 2012, the Board of Education announced a moratorium on new charter schools due to a lack of funds available to cover the adequacy payments of $5,450 per student the state doles out to charter schools. A new rule saying Education Board members can no longer deny a charter school application due to lack of state funding alone is also now in effect.
Chairman Tom Raffio said concerns about the lack of funds were addressed when money was included in the state's new two-year budget.
"The funds we needed were included in the budget," said Raffio.
In 2003, the state kicked off a 10-year pilot program to include up to 20 charter schools. Prior to 2003, charter organizers needed approval from the state and local school boards. In 2011, a bill was passed establishing the pilot program on a permanent basis and removing the 20 school maximum.
State education board members are expected to hold a conference early this fall to outline the details for a potential long-term policy on charter schools, said Raffio, given their popularity. State enrollment figures for the 2012-2013 school year show students attending charter schools account for about 1.5 percent of all school-age children in New Hampshire, or over 3,000. That number has jumped since 2007, when only 325 students attended charter schools.
Gate City in Nashua, which plans to cap enrollment at 180 students, has already heard from 175 interested families, said school co-founder Karin Cevasco.
"We are so excited to have the opportunity to open," said Cevasco. "Everyone involved has put in so much work on this, we can't wait to welcome the students."
Cevasco said she and others can now stop worrying about receiving state approval, and instead focus on getting the school ready to open in the fall of 2014. The next step in the process takes place Aug. 4, when interviews with volunteers interested in serving on the school's board of trustees are interviewed. They also need to find a physical location for the school. Applicants are not permitted to sign agreements for schools, such as leases, until they are approved to open by the state.
The founders of the Granite State Academy for the Arts had originally hoped to open a charter called the Seacoast Charter School in Exeter, but were told by education officials the state didn't need another charter school serving the Seacoast region because two were already up and running.
"Our school name has been legally changed to Granite State Arts Academy," said Chairwoman Wendie Leweck. "It became evident that this was necessary due to a location change to the Derry area, because the Department of Education wouldn't endorse a third high school."
The school is now looking to open in Derry, near the Salem border, and will enroll up to 40 students in each of four grades, offering four main programs centered around the arts — dance, music, theater and visual arts. Due to the recent change in name and potential location, Leweck wasn't ready to go before the board this month. She will give a presentation in August about her plans.
The Founders Academy looks to open in Londonderry in the fall of 2014 with a first year enrollment of up to 100 students in grades 6 and 7, adding approximately 100 students each year thereafter. The school will build to a maximum total enrollment of up to 650 students in grades 6-12 at full capacity. A target opening date has yet to be established.
The Mountain Village Charter School, a Montessori elementary school to be located in the Plymouth region, will serve students in kindergarten through eighth grade. According to its website, the school plans a September, 2014 opening with two first- through third-grade classrooms. A fourth- through sixth-grade classroom would open in September, 2015.
Attempts to reach Mountain Village organizers for comment were unsuccessful.

Internet Ethics: Views From Silicon Valley
The Need for Accuracy Online
Charles Geschke and Sally Lehrman
The Internet has surely surpassed the expectations of its pioneers. As a communication medium, it is unparalleled in scope and impact. However, the ease of publication in the Web 2.0 world has created new ethical dilemmas. In this brief video, Adobe Chairman of the Board Charles Geschke points out the gap between what Internet users expect to receive (i.e. factual and accurate information) and what they too often get instead. Is it the user's responsibility to judge which sources to access on the Web, and how much to rely on them? Is it the publishers of information who have a duty to strive to be accurate?
Below, Sally Lehrman (Knight Ridder/San Jose Mercury News Endowed Chair in Journalism and the Public Interest at Santa Clara University, and a Markkula Center for Applied Ethics Scholar) responds to Geschke's comments. Add your own responses in the "Comments" section!
"The Internet has certainly opened up opportunities for anyone to publish whatever they want. In some ways, the proliferation of voices is good. It provides access to ideas and perspectives that traditional news gatherers might miss. It also can put pressure on news organizations to get things right. But, as Mr. Geschke points out, it's hard to tell when the information packaged like news on the Internet is really just marketing or propaganda. That's why brands like the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and local sites such as Patch.com and your own local newspaper are valuable. Their reporting can be trusted.
Ethical traditions in journalism ensure multiple sources and careful attention to facts. But many people have come to expect their news for free, and feet-on-the-ground reporting and fact-checking are expensive. That makes it very difficult for true news operations to survive. Unfortunately, we're seeing a decline in quality as a result. The public must learn to discern--and value--quality news. One way is to learn more about traditional journalism ethics guidelines, found (on the Internet!) on sites such as www.spj.org/ethics.asp and www.rtdna.org/channel/ethics."

In the Aditya Chopra directed romantic drama, Karan, 42, had played a cameo of a lovable, bespectacled sidekick of SRK.
"I have a lot of memories of `DDLJ`. I started my career from there... It is and will be the largest part of my career. The film with its epic love story and innocence had set the barometer," Karan told reporters here at the trailer launch of Bollywood film `Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania`.
"After this, a lot of love stories were made but nobody could touch that bar. It is the pillar of love stories," he added.
Karan said that through `Humpty Sharma..` he is paying tribute to `DDLJ`.
"Our film (`Humpty Sharma..) is an ode to `DDLJ`. One will see glimpses of `DDLJ` but the love story is different from `DDLJ`. We have made this film with honesty, integrity (and) with an intention to entertain people," he said.
`Humpty Sharma...` starring Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan is directed by newcomer Shashank Khaitan. Karan has always mentioned the 1995 romantic comedy as one of his favourite films in the genre of romance.

Good Relationships + Good Care = Quality Care. Everyone should have access to care and everyone should have good care. More and more we are hearing about the importance of quality care and ways to support doctors and hospitals give the best care to their patients.
- What does "quality health care" mean?
- How is quality care measured?
- What's the connection between those measurements and good health?
Good care comes through good relationships-being able to talk to your doctor about your concerns. It comes from having the information you need to ask questions and doing what you need to do in your own life for the best health. The goal of this center is to talk about quality care from the patient's point of view. The goal of quality care is the best health for you!
Diabetes is one of the most important health conditions and one that affects more and more people every day. According to the Center for Disease Control, 26 million people in the United States have diabetes and 27%of the people who have diabetes don't know they have it.
Even though diabetes is common, it can lead to serious health problems throughout the body including heart attack, blindness, leg amputation, and kidney failure. The important thing is that if you have diabetes there is so much you and your doctor can do to prevent these conditions. This includes getting the right members on your healthcare team and giving yourself the encouragement to make progress, one small step at a time. This center provides the information you need to help you on your journey, to work hand-in-hand with your doctor, and do things in your own life that make a difference. It will answer questions like:
Remember that when it comes to good care, no one can do it alone and everyone on your team has a role to play. As doctors and patients, we can work together, keep learning more and doing just a little bit better, one step at a time!

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumer prices rose slightly in May as higher energy costs were partly offset by cheaper food. The small increase comes after two straight declines, underscoring that American consumers are benefiting from mild inflation.
The consumer price index ticked up a seasonally adjusted 0.1 percent last month, only the second increase in seven months, the Labor Department said Tuesday. Consumer prices fell 0.4 percent in April, the largest decline in four years. In the past 12 months, prices have increased just 1.4 percent. That's up from a 1.1 percent annual pace in April, which was the smallest in 2 ½ years.
Slow economic growth and high unemployment have kept wages from rising quickly. That's made it harder for retailers and other firms to raise prices.
Still, tame inflation has helped consumers increase spending this year, despite slow income growth and higher Social Security taxes. It also makes it easier for the Federal Reserve to continue its extraordinary efforts to boost the economy.
And while inflation is low, economists say it isn't low enough to alarm Fed policymakers. Tuesday's report "won't prevent the Fed from beginning to reduce its monthly asset purchases, probably beginning in September," said Paul Ashworth, an economist at Capital Economics.
In May, higher natural gas and electricity costs pushed up energy prices 0.4 percent. Gas prices were flat. Food costs fell 0.1 percent, as grocery prices dropped by the most in almost four years.
Outside the volatile food and gas categories, core prices rose 0.2 percent in May, driven up by higher rents and rising prices for hotels, clothing and air fares. Core prices have increased 1.7 percent in the past 12 months, in line with the Federal Reserve's inflation target of 2 percent.
The cost of health care is rising at a much slower pace than its historical norm, helping to limit inflation. The cost for prescription and nonprescription drugs fell 0.7 percent in May, the steepest decline on record. And the cost for medical services was unchanged in May.
In the past 12 months, overall health care prices rose just 2.2 percent, the smallest yearly increase for that category in more than 40 years.
Consumers have kept spending at a modest pace in recent months. Retail sales rose at a healthy clip in May from April, the Commerce Department said last week. Americans spent more on cars and trucks, home improvements and sporting goods.
Wholesale prices rose 0.5 percent in May, as gas and food costs increased, the Labor Department said last week. But in the past year they have risen just 1.7 percent.
Fed policymakers are meeting Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss the economy's health and consider their next moves.
Steady job gains and resilient consumer spending have fueled intense speculation that the Fed may soon start reducing the pace of its monthly bond purchases. That's caused heavy volatility in stock and bond prices.
The Fed is purchasing $85 billion a month in bonds to keep longer-term interest rates down. That's intended to encourage more borrowing, investing and spending. The Fed says it will continue to buy bonds until the job market improves substantially.
The Fed also says it plans to keep the short-term interest rate it controls at a record low near zero until the unemployment rate falls below 6.5 percent, provided inflation remains under control. The unemployment rate ticked up in May to 7.6 percent, though it is down 0.6 percentage points in the past year.

Dear Class of 2025,
You're welcome. That's right. You heard me. You're welcome. Because while you were getting dizzy on the tire swing and eating Go-Gurt, the grown-ups have been working to make school great for you, and doing so under the most extraordinary conditions.
Consider Dr. J. Michael McGrath Elementary in Santa Clarita, CA. It's a Title 1 school, which means the overall poverty level of the student population is at least 40 percent. More than 85 percent of the students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Yet somehow, McGrath was named a National Blue Ribbon School earlier this year by the Department of Education. The K-6 population, sixty percent of which speaks English as a second language, scored higher than 80 percent proficiency in math and language arts. The school is led by principal Larry Heath, a guy who looks like he was built in the principal factory (tie, sweater vest, slick Gordon Gekko hair). This guy eats, sleeps and breathes education. He loves kids. Every year, to reward his students for all the work they did and goals they reached, he takes them to the movies. Yes, the entire school. And yes, that means hundreds of boxes of popcorn, and hundreds of small sodas.
Consider Broad Acres Elementary in Montgomery County, Maryland, on the outskirts of Washington, D.C. Like McGrath, Broad Acres has plenty to overcome. "We have a lot of poverty. Ninety-six percent of our students receive free or reduced meals," says Kim Burnim, a Broad Acres teacher and the 2006 National Teacher of the Year. "There's also a very high mobility rate. Many of the children who start here don't finish." But Burnim and the school keep fighting. The students' reading proficiency is 81 percent, up from a dismal 47 percent in 2003. But it's not just the children's test scores that matter here. Faced with a high absentee rate and a large population of parents with no health insurance, Broad Acres created an on-site health center with a full-time nurse and regular doctor visits. When one student kept falling asleep in class, the teacher discovered that the child shared one twin mattress with three other siblings. The school got him a bed.
There are 99,000 public elementary and secondary schools in the United States. And these schools are filled with super awesome teachers. Teachers who buy their own classroom supplies (and even toilet paper) when the funding isn't there. Teachers who give exhausted kids beds and rent out an entire movie theater to show Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. And all this happens while you're getting dizzy on the tire swing and eating Go-Gurt. It all happens while you're busy being, well, the Class of 2025.
That's the way it should be, and you don't owe us anything for it. Just remember to be grateful and show gratitude. Besides that, I only have a few pieces of advice for you. Wash your hands after going to the bathroom. Don't forget that M is just an upside-down W. And always remember to say "thank you."

The Jamestown Town Council is currently considering a budget for the next fiscal year that – if approved – would decrease the island's property tax rate by 60 cents.
This is certainly something voters can cheer about.
Recent councils and school boards have done an excellent job of holding the line on tax increases with the annual town budgets. The elected islanders sitting on the council and School Committee have answered the voters' pleas for tax relief over the years, especially during the times of national fiscal calamity, by approving zero percent tax increases and tax increases of less than 1 percent.
But this is the first time in recent memory that the Town Council and School Committee have awarded taxpayers with such a healthy rate decrease.
Enacting the town's annual budget is not an easy job. There are a lot of moving parts. It seems that the cost of everything keeps going in one direction – up. So when we see such a decrease in our tax rate, it certainly gets our attention.
Kudos to the Town Council and School Committee for a job well done. We expect the budget should pass the annual Financial Town Meeting without too many complaints.

By ADAM LAPIERRE
News staff writer
February 15, 2006
Wrestling is not a glamour sport. It is not pretty or flattering, classy, sophisticated, chic or trendy. In this sport, there are no cheerleaders, no pep rallies, no halftime shows and no live radio broadcasts. Wrestling is not the beauty of one's body in motion, the quintessential coming together of a team on the field or a carefully calculated strategy sport.
When a wrestler strips down to a singlet and steps onto the mat, his team disappears with the crowd, noise fades, his heart pounds through his chest and the essence of the sport is revealed: Wrestling is 99 percent preparation and one percent performance. And win or lose … it's all on you.
Most often, a wrestler's pains and sacrifices go unnoticed. The sport is a whole lot of hard work for a six-minute match, if it lasts that long, on a mat laid and taped over a basketball court.
Stepping onto that mat with confidence is the key, whether it's the first round of districts or the state finals. Confidence and poise are traits of a solid wrestler.
Wrestling confidence comes in two forms: genuine and delusional. Although the latter is easily achieved, only the former wins matches.
Genuine confidence comes when a wrestler steps onto the mat knowing he has trained and prepared as hard as possible for the opponent at hand. He has already won the match in his mind. You can see that kind of confidence on a wrestler's face and in his eyes. The best matches, of course, are when both wrestlers have it.
And Saturday night, in the 2006 Intermountain Conference (IMC) district finals, Hood River Valley's 112 pound senor Jose Ramirez had the look. He stepped onto the mat centered in the Crook County High School gym in front of an audience of several hundred, with an expression that read, "This match is mine." His opponent, Garret Gentery from Mountain View High School, had a similar scowl. Six minutes later the two had battled to a 1-1 tie.
Overtime exposes how much heart, determination and will a wrestler has. His body says let go, give up, get some water and rest. At that point, the victor is almost always the one who has prepared more to overcome those feelings.
With both wrestlers on their feet, the match went to a sudden-death overtime period. Ramirez hooked an outside single, Gentery gave up the takedown, and the Eagles added another district champ to the ranks.
"My strategy was that I was going to win no matter what," Ramirez said after the match. "I just wrestled hard and tried to make him wrestle my match, not the other way around. I think I could have done better but it still feels good … All the hard work paid off. I'm proud to actually do something my senior year."
And Ramirez will not make the trip to state alone. Teammates Alex Titus and Leo Gonzalez qualified with second and third place finishes, respectively.
"We're super proud of Jose, Alex and Leo for making it to state," Coach Rich Polkinghorn said. "That's tough to do in this conference."
Titus, who was seeded first in the tournament, won his first three matches, two by pin, to advance to the heavyweight division finals. His match against Guy Hamm of Pendleton came down to the last minute of the third period. Behind 3-1, Titus needed a takedown to stay in it. He tied up and attempted a double-overhook toss, which Hamm anticipated and avoided. Titus was forced to give up a takedown and a 5-1 loss for a second place finish.
"You have to give the Pendleton coaches credit," said Polkinghorn. "Last time the two wrestled Alex threw him twice for five points each. They did a good job of coaching their guy on how to wrestle Alex this time."
The IMC's 135 weight class was stacked this season, and Gonzales had a tough road to qualifying for state. He won his first two matches by pins to advancing to the semi-finals Saturday morning. Winning in the semis is key because it automatically secures a wrestler a trip to the finals, a trip to state, and a trip somewhere quiet to rest for most of the day. Losing means the tough road, which Gonzales took to the consolation finals, where he faced a Hermiston wrestler.
Gonzales wrestled more intense and focused than he had all season. He was a man on a mission, and he dominated the match.
"Of course it feels good," Gonzales said afterwards. "But I'm tired and I want to go home and sleep. I still have a lot of homework to do."
Of the 25 Eagles that competed in the tournament, 11 had podium finishes. The team finished with 146.5 points, which put them in sixth place. As expected, Hermiston took the IMC title by a decent margin, followed by Crook County in second and Redmond in third.
"The tournament went about as we expected," Polkinghorn said. "Districts is an eye-opening experience for some wrestlers. The competition is surprisingly tough and I think our young guys did a great job for us. I have to keep reminding myself that we're such a young team. Our future is looking good and we're excited about next year … I had a great time with the boys and I think it was a fun weekend for everyone. They're nice kids, they work hard and they're truly fun to be around."
The three state-bound grapplers have only today to catch up at school before heading to the three-day state tournament, which starts Thursday morning.

F riedrich von Hayek, the preeminent theorist of laissez-faire, called the "knowledge problem" an insuperable barrier to central planning. Knowledge about the price of supplies and labor, and consumers' ability and willingness to pay, is so scattered and protean that even the wisest authorities cannot access all of it. No person knows everything about how goods and services in an economy should be priced. No central decision-maker can grasp the idiosyncratic preferences, values, and purchasing power of millions of individuals. That kind of knowledge, Hayek said, is distributed.
In an era of artificial intelligence and mass surveillance, however, the possibility of central planning has reemerged—this time in the form of massive firms. Having logged and analyzed billions of transactions, Amazon knows intimate details about all its customers and suppliers. It can carefully calibrate screen displays to herd buyers toward certain products or shopping practices, or to copy sellers with its own, cheaper, in-house offerings. Mark Zuckerberg aspires to omniscience of consumer desires, by profiling nearly everyone on Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and then leveraging that data trove to track users across the web and into the real world (via mobile usage and device fingerprinting). You don't even have to use any of those apps to end up in Facebook/Instagram/WhatsApp files—profiles can be assigned to you. Google's "database of intentions" is legendary, and antitrust authorities around the world have looked with increasing alarm at its ability to squeeze out rivals from search results once it gains an interest in their lines of business. Google knows not merely what consumers are searching for, but also what other businesses are searching, buying, emailing, planning—a truly unparalleled matching of data-processing capacity to raw communication flows.
Nor is this logic limited to the online context. Concentration is paying dividends for the largest banks (widely assumed to be too big to fail), and major health insurers (now squeezing and expanding the medical supply chain like an accordion). Like the digital giants, these finance and insurance firms not only act as middlemen, taking a cut of transactions, but also aspire to capitalize on the knowledge they have gained from monitoring customers and providers in order to supplant them and directly provide services and investment. If it succeeds, the CVS-Aetna merger betokens intense corporate consolidations that will see more vertical integration of insurers, providers, and a baroque series of middlemen (from pharmaceutical benefit managers to group purchasing organizations) into gargantuan health providers. A CVS doctor may eventually refer a patient to a CVS hospital for a CVS surgery, to be followed up by home health care workers employed by CVS who bring CVS pharmaceuticals—all covered by a CVS/Aetna insurance plan, which might penalize the patient for using any providers outside the CVS network. While such a panoptic firm may sound dystopian, it is a logical outgrowth of health services researchers' enthusiasm for "integrated delivery systems," which are supposed to provide "care coordination" and "wraparound services" more efficiently than America's current, fragmented health care system.

Hard to Fit Contacts
> Eyecare Services > Hard to Fit Contacts
Contact lenses are not an easy solution for every person suffering with vision problems. Some eye conditions make wearing contacts a difficult proposition. However, it does not rule out wearing contact lenses altogether. It just means patients need to discuss options with their eye care provider and obtain specialized hard to fit contacts for their specific vision problems.
Finding contact lenses that fit and wearing contact lenses in general can be made more challenging when these conditions affect your eyes:
Astigmatism : Astigmatism develops when the front of the eye curves into a bulge or oval shape. It causes blurred vision and can be difficult to correct because regular contacts cannot account for the bulging.
Dry Eyes : When eyes become excessively dry, it leads to irritation, burning, redness and blurred vision. Contact lenses can exacerbate these conditions by making it feel like a foreign object is stuck in your eye.
GPC : This form of conjunctivitis is caused by inflammation on the inner surface of the eyelid. Protein buildup on contact lenses can make this condition worse.
Keratoconus : This is an uncommon condition that causes major discomfort when wearing contacts. Keratoconus happens when the cornea becomes thinner and allows the eye to bulge forward. The bulge forms into a cone shape.
Presbyopia : Eyes tend to have a tougher time focusing on close objects as they age. This condition is known as presbyopia. It typically affects people aged 40 or older.
Wearing contacts is not impossible if you suffer from one of the above conditions. You do need to meet with an eye care professional, however, and get prescribed contact lenses that are tailored to deal with your specific vision condition.
Gas permeable lenses are a good solution for patients who suffer from GPC or Keratoconus. A GP lens will limit protein deposits from accumulating which will reduce GPC symptoms. It is also effective in containing corneal bulging and relieving pressure on the tissue for a Keratoconus sufferer.
Toric lenses are useful for correcting astigmatism. Since the lens needs to align with the bulge it is correcting, toric lenses must not rotate in order to fit on the eye. They are typically custom made to correct a specific astigmatism. For that reason, this type of lens takes longer to make and costs more than a traditional contact lens.
Bifocal and multifocal lenses can help remedy presbyopia. Monovision lenses are another option for presbyopia. This type of lenses can have one fitted for distance vision and the other for seeing close objects.
Medicated eye drops can be an effective solution for dealing with dry eyes. They will lubricate eyes enough to make contact lenses more bearable, although a punctual occlusion also must be done to plug the ducts in some extreme cases. GPC symptoms can also be lessened through medicated eye drops. They flush out protein deposits and reduce inflammation.

KALAMAZOO—The 33rd annual Bronco Bash at Western Michigan University is set for 3 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 13. This year's bash will be held at the pedestrian mall in front of Sangren Hall rather than at Fountain Plaza.
The early registration deadline for booth space is 5 p.m. Friday, July 26. Applications submitted after that date will be assessed a $25 late fee and processed pending available booth space.
A campus tradition
Each year, over 450 student organizations, university departments, and local businesses and organizations participate in Bronco Bash by providing information, involvement opportunities, and promotional items and coupons to a crowd of some 20,000 people. The event also features novelty attractions, food vendors and a variety of entertainment acts.
"Bronco Bash is a unique celebration that brings the WMU and Kalamazoo communities together for a common event," says Anthony Haduch, one of three student coordinators for the event. "We've been working hard to ensure that the event is mutually beneficial to the organizations that participate in Bronco Bash, as well as the people who attend," he adds.
Students are encouraged to interact with the organizations and departments to discover opportunities available to them as a WMU student and as a member of the Kalamazoo community. "This welcome back event allows our current and new students to celebrate the beginning of another great year as a Bronco. Years of data and feedback tell us that students feel more a part of the community as a result of attending Bronco Bash and our vendors are highly satisfied in their interactions with our student body," says Sarah Hurd, assistant director of Student Activities and Leadership Programs.

Editorial BSI Magazine 2018/01
Modern industrial plants today are highly interconnected systems. Many companies – from SMEs to industrial groups – are increasingly valuing the exchange of information with suppliers or customers as quickly and directly as possible. To achieve this, areas that were previously physically separated from each other are be connected over the Internet – and can therefore be attacked. Cyber criminals can exploit these attack surfaces. Sabotage, espionage and blackmail are often the consequences.
Attacks on industrial plants, sometimes with serious consequences, have been observed time and again in recent years. Industrial control systems, which play a central role in production safety and are therefore particularly crucial to protect, are especially threatened. Against this backdrop, companies have become more aware of Cyber Security – and not merely in the critical infrastructures IT Security law obliges them to invest in for the Cyber Security of their
Cyber Security plays a key role in the digitalisation of production processes. Only when security aspects are initially considered in the design, can digitalisation succeed in developing the desired potential for companies. An important concern of the BSI is therefore to foster sustainable security awareness among business and to lay a solid foundation for digitalisation.
What threat do attacks on industrial control systems pose? How can companies create the adequate conditions to protect themselves? How can Security by Design help to meet the growing challenges? In the latest issue of the BSI Magazine, we present some aspects of cyber security in the world of Industrie 4.0. We hope you enjoy reading it!

Alternative to what?
Given out since 1991, the alternative music album award may have outlasted its usefulness. In what way are acoustic-leaning singer-songwriters Fiona Apple and Gotye competing with the sleekly futuristic M83? Throw in Bjork and Tom Waits -- two fiercely idiosyncratic veterans allergic to genre -- and you've got a grouping too broad to make sense.

Not much happened in Storybrooke this week, aside from some cool magic tricks and the return of a few familiar faces.
The episode, titled "We Are Both," is Regina-centric and explores the events leading up to her arranged wedding and how she first meets Rumpelstiltskin. Meanwhile in Storybrooke, Charming decides to put his leadership skills to the test and keep the townsfolk from leaving.
So that's what happens when you try to leave town
The dwarves contemplate leaving Storybrooke, and who could blame them. The town currently looks like it has been victimized by Regina George. Unfortunately, Sneezy decides to cross the border and his...

Marzilli, South Carolina headed back to Omaha
Omaha, Neb., is the one place that all collegiate baseball players aspire to be in mid-June each year, and for the third year in a row, Hendricken player Evan Marzilli will have the distinct pleasure of competing in the College World Series.
The recent draftee of the Arizona Diamondbacks is a key member of the back-to-back national champion South Carolina Gamecocks, who sewed up their berth in college baseball's showpiece event by sweeping the Oklahoma Sooners in their best-of-three super regional.
In the first game of the series Saturday evening, South Carolina benefited from the pitching of Michael Roth, who hurled 7.2 innings of shutout ball, while a three-run second inning at the plate staked the Gamecocks to an early lead on the way to a 5-0 triumph.
When the two teams reconvened the next day, they were facing a common enemy: Mother Nature. The heavens intervened twice in the sixth inning, with the second delay forcing the suspension of play until Monday with the game remaining scoreless.
The contest resumed in the bottom half of the sixth with Gamecock relief pitcher Tyler Webb working his way out of a bases loaded jam by getting Oklahoma rightfielder Cody Reine to fly out to right, extinguishing a golden opportunity for the Sooners to gain the upper hand in the process.
Steven Okert received the ball to start the seventh for Oklahoma, and promptly allowed a double from the bat of Connor Bright, who was immediately substituted for by pinch runner T.J. Costen.
Costen then became the beneficiary of a throwing error from Sooner first baseman Evan Mistich, whose throw to third from a Tanner English sacrifice bunt whizzed by Garrett Carey, plating the first run of the game.
English later scored the second Gamecock run of the inning when Okert uncorked a wild pitch that eluded the grasp of catcher Tanner Toal.
Oklahoma then halved the deficit in the bottom half of the frame courtesy of a Mistich base hit to right that drove home Carey.
However, just as soon as the Sooners had found new life, the Gamecock bats set about pulling the plug on Oklahoma's hopes of extending their season by at least one more game.
Adam Matthews and L.B. Dantzler knocked consecutive one-out singles to right field, before Costen struck out swinging for the second out of the Gamecock eighth.
English then reestablished South Carolina's two-run advantage with his second run-producing bunt of the game, bringing home Matthews and moving Dantzler into scoring position.
The bunt was merely a curtain-raiser for what was to follow. Chase Vergason proceeded to clear the bases with a double that was crushed to left-center.
The score was now 5-1 in favor of the Gamecocks, and the remnants of the crowd from Sunday were starting to look forward to the program's tenth appearance in the College World Series, which was sealed when Dylan Neal swung and missed on a 1-2 offering from closer Matt Price, who picked up a nine-out save.
First up for South Carolina in Omaha is No. 1 national seed and conference rival Florida, who pose the biggest risk in terminating the Gamecocks' record 21-win NCAA Tournament winning streak.
The Gators have won three of the four previous meetings this season, including a 7-2 decision that eliminated South Carolina from the conference tournament last month.
Their fifth meeting of 2012 will take place on Saturday evening, under the bright lights of TD Ameritrade Park and with the eyes of the nation gazing towards champion and challenger alike. First pitch is scheduled for 9 p.m., with ESPN providing national television coverage.

In last week's Gartner Q4 and FY08 earnings call there was a very interesting point that CEO Gene Hall made:
"… In consulting, fourth quarter results were stronger than expected and this was driven by robust demand for our contract optimization and benchmarking services. These unique services directly help our clients lower costs and their outperformance continued the positive trends from the second and third quarters. …"
This statement should make IT and telecommunications vendors sit up and take notice. Gartner's Cost Optimization Services consultants could be working on enterprise IT purchasing projects that directly impact sales opportunities – and not always positively for any particular vendor.
Unfortunately for vendors, the information you give to a Gartner analyst does not always flow over to their consulting colleagues. Thus, the Gartner consultant could be relying on published research notes, which only tell part of the story and have none of the nuance or most current vendor information that is inside the analyst's head. As a consequence, uninformed consultants might be leaving vendors off a vendor bid list or short changing their capabilities.
It is important that vendor sales representatives determine when Gartner Consulting is part of an IT organization's procurement team for a project. While the end user might mention that Continue reading

Newington officials caused a stir recently by eliminating all remaining Halloween celebrations from elementary schools.
The justification for the decision — that Halloween parties and costume parades exclude children whose religion prohibits Halloween celebration — has raised the question: is Halloween a secular opportunity for children to dress up and have fun, or a religious celebration masquerading as a costume party?
It's unclear how many schools have specific policies regarding Halloween, or when exactly Halloween celebrations started becoming taboo in the public square.
But local scholars say the American culture's increasing diversity and religious pluralism is...

Hi Susan,
I am brand new at the raw lifestyle, b/c of health reasons. I love this breakfast. It is so fast and easy and makes me feel so good and energized. I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am for you and your blog. You have been an inspiration and have helped me to bite the bullet and move forward with this lifestyle, without looking back. Thank you!
Rawtarian's raw breakfast bowl
Prep Time
Total Time
Shelf LifeEat immediately
- 1 shredded apple
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut
- 1 tablespoon raisins
- 1 tablespoon almonds or sunflower seeds
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon buckwheat groats (optional)
- 1/3 cup water or cashew milk
Recipe Directions
- 1. Shred your apple using a hand shredder. (If making only one or two bowls, I use a mandoline slicer with the shredder attachment. If making this for many people, probably easiest to shred in a food processor.)
- 2. Place shredded apple in bowl, and top with remaining ingredients.
- 3. Top with the cashew milk (best) or alternatively use water.
- 4. Stir vigourously. Within a couple of minutes the chia seeds and shredded coconut will absorb the liquid and you will have a delicious, ready to eat raw breakfast cereal.
The Rawtarian's ThoughtsBy The Rawtarian
This recipe is very similar to my raw breakfast cereal recipe; however, there are a couple of key differences - especially the addition of the coconut and the shredding of the apple.
In fact, it is the shredded apple that makes up the recipe - and gives it a stellar texture!
This recipe is for one person.

I tried this recipe and I "Loved" it. Thank you so much for the simple breakfast. I have a question concerning the buckwheat groats? Does it matter if the buckwheat groats is hulled or unhulled?
Hi Emily,
I'm not sure about the unhulled vs. hulled - the ones that I buy at my health food store look like this

Newbie here again! Just finished my bowl and I have to say this is way better than any boxed cereal. I loved the flavors and texture especially the crunch! I am not much of a smoothie gal so this is definitely one I will be eating for breakfast or as a dessert! I love cinnamon so I will be adding more of a pinch next time. I have to admit, I was very skeptical but thought every recipe I have tried so far is awesome so I gave it a go. Thanks again. I am inspired and happy I found your sit. I love and look forward to a healthier, happier, and energetic life.
Aww, thank you. I feel so thrilled when I read messages like yours! :)

Rawtarian's raw breakfast bowl
Fast, easy, filling and so yummy. I'm new to eating raw and really enjoying this site. I saw the idea of using dried cranberries (which I like much more than raisins). Going to give it a try in the morning. Thanks for taking the guess work out of trying raw.
You are very welcome, Benita! Enjoy your brekkie bowl! :)
Sep 28, 2014
I didn't think this would be good, but I tried it anyway. I liked it. I made mine with dried cranberries because I'm not into raisins that much and I don't do nut milks too much since my daughter is allergic to peanuts and nuts (trying to get her to eat better and detox). Anyway, I had banana milk. It was really good. I put too much milk but it was still good. Thanks so much.
Hi Candy, I'm glad you made this recipe work for both you and your daughter! :)

Very yummy breakfast and easy to make. For my cashew milk, i use blueberries, cashew, vanilla, a pinch of salt, dates, water and unsweetened cocunut milk and put all in the blender. Then pour over the bowl with all the ingredients for breakfast. It is delicious! Love this app coz it is convenient!
Glad you like the app, Daisy. And your breakfast sounds delish! :)

What would you recommend if apples aren't in season?
Hi Brett!
Pears or fresh blueberries sound like perfect substitutions to me :)

What is the best type of apple to use? I used a Gala apple & when I shredded it, I got apple sauce. The end result was really good but because of the texture of the apple, it wasn't very filling
Hi Susan, How did you shred it?? Green apples (Granny Smith) tend to work the best, but I just use whichever apple I have in the house at the time :)
Jul 10, 2014
I have said it before and will say it again. You are a legend. I have this for breakfast, lunch or dinner. My hubby and children love it. I often times don't want to share it with them. But I do, its amazingly deli-liciuos.
Just purchased the app and should have done it long time ago. It's brilliant, awesome. Well done GIRL.
Thank you so much, Rachel! You just made my day! :) :)

Glad you like this recipe, Barb! :)

Be Inspired.
Be Inspiring.
Be Inspiring.
Soaring sculptures. Ancient antiquities. Science in
action. This is the bold, dynamic field of museum
studies. Come explore.
Museums educate and inspire. They bring the world to your backyard. And your backyard to the world. They dismantle prejudice. And battle injustice. They spark conversation. And generate awe.
Why the Museology Graduate Program at UW?
When we ask students, alumni and employers what makes this program truly unique, here's what they say:
This program is grounded in research and evidence. To that end, all students must complete a thesis or master's project in order to graduate. We are also the only program in the United States to have a specialization in evaluation.
Exploration is healthy. Curiosity is encouraged. That's why we actively encourage students to try out as many different things as possible. Internships, classes, community events, research projects—all of these are great ways to explore what truly inspires you.
Our faculty and staff are invested in the success of every student. Really, truly invested. From helping you figure out your class schedule, to advising on career options, to making sure you produce a stellar thesis, they will support you every step of the way.
The Seattle Experience
Being in Seattle makes for a unique graduate school experience. Surrounded by water and mountains and one of the fastest-growing cities in the world, Seattle brims with energy, options and opportunity. From the Museum of Flight to the Experience Music Project to the Burke Museum of Natural History & Culture, and all points in between, the diversity of our museums and community organizations reflects our national landscape. Try out different options while in school. And then pursue your career anywhere you like.
Linda High '14
"I am always inspired by the families and students who visit the museum. They inspire me to create innovative and interesting programming. Keeping track of what my peers in this field are working on and implementing around the world is inspiring and pushes me to be a better educator."
Is this program right for you?
As an interdisciplinary program, our students come from all different backgrounds: art history, technology, zoology, anthropology, international studies, education, and business administration. Our goal is to inspire all of our students—regardless of background—to use museums as a way to create stronger communities.
Our students learn to organize and manage museums. But that doesn't do their work justice. The world's best museologists know that museums aren't just about objects. They're about wonder, awe, and curiosity. They're about learning, seeing and doing. They're about taking someone's breath away. About inviting visitors to see every day objects in entirely new ways. About infusing the extraordinary into the ordinary.
"I contend the DNA of talent is stored within the great museums of the world. Museums are custodians of epiphanies." George Lois, art director & designer

Akihabara since of all the anime stuff and Kyoto
I was just in Japan during the holidays, came back last Saturday. Really, it's the most amazing place. Especially since I watch so much anime and stuff, and love their culture just a little too much, it was like: Mind. Blown. To the fact I was actually in Japan. It's honestly everything you'd expect it to be.
So, for the old stuff, it's gotta be Miyajima Island, near Hiroshima. There's this really cool shrine in the water and deer EVERYWHERE. We all rented bikes and rode around. Felt like a music video
For the new, well, we weren't in Tokyo very long because we were going all around Japan, and Tokyo in general is really pro. We went to Harajuku (Street fashion/cosplay kinda place) and yeah, I'd love to go there again, but I think when I go again I wanna check out Shibuya (Shopping town!)or Akihabara (Electronics and anime).
Kyoto is also really good. All of Japan's really good. I'm already making plans to go back, on exchange
Eat well, exercise and die anyway

Kyoto for many reasons. Many temples to visit, gardens, museums, restaurants, architecture etc. I've visited many times over my life to Japan and always found that Kyoto held the single most as a city. Sure there are other places that hold significance in Japan as historical sites but I feel Kyoto just had the most to do and see. Anytime I go to Japan I always stop in Kyoto for at least a week.
If you go South of Kyoto then there is Osaka, East would take you to Hiroshima, Agasaki if you make it all the way East is actually pretty nice as well, mostly a beachy kind of town though. Coming from San Diego it was similar.
I found that Kyoto being the old capital of Japan held most the history of it. Tokyo is nice, but to much hustle and bustle its not different than any other big city that you'll ever go to just add a section filled with anime, etc. Wasn't all that impressed with Tokyo. There is a lot to do in Tokyo gardens, museums, tours etc. Just don't feel the history and connection there. Subways are miserable in Tokyo as well, always packed.
If you speak a little more Japanese than the average bloke on here I would recommend checking out some of the smaller cities like Niigata or Aomori. Still gives plenty to do but definitely a much more rural setting. You will encounter people that still speak some English if your not that great at Japanese but you will assuredly have a harder time in those places.
I think the most bang for the buck is probably Kyoto if I only had a few weeks stay there. But If you have more than 2 weeks you can do a measurable amount of site seeing. I've been about 15 times in my life thus far, both for business and pleasure.
I've never been, but that sounds like the best way to do it. :]
死んでる。Hic nunc est hodie, cras absit. Ad praesens, nusquam quasi nihil.
I'd love to visit Tokyo, Hokkaido, Shibuya, Kyoto, Osaka, and a few others.
Akihabara for the anime
Kyoto for the history and the suicide forest
There are only two types of people in this world; sadist and masochists!
Definitely Akihabara. For the anime and electronics.
Kyoto for the old history.
Let go of your jimmies, and seek unrustlement.
I've been to Japan more than most people, but I've never really been as a "tourist" per say, so I'm missing out on all the sight seeing and stuff. Hopefully I'll do it properly sometime.
