The new South Deerfield School that was to be built, as noted here, replaced a two-story brick building built in the early 1880s that the school district had outgrown. When it was finished the next year in 1913, it was a modern building including central heat, indoor plumbing, and separate school rooms for the classes. In a sense, the building itself represented the growth of the school system in Deerfield and in all of Massachusetts, toward a more specialized and expensive, but more effective system.

We believe that our students need to be aware how historical contributions of underrepresented groups in science illuminate inequalities of opportunity to contribute to science and technology, that a diversity of perspectives are crucial to science when dealing with complex problems, that the impact of science is both local and global, and that science policy decisions are made in the real world in which biases might be hidden. Beginning with the Class of 2020 concentrators may satisfy the Social, Structural, and Institutional Hierarchies requirement by completing 348 in either their junior or senior year.
Students who plan to pursue graduate work or employment in chemistry or a related science are encouraged to satisfy the requirements for a degree certified by the American Chemical Society (ACS). In order to qualify for an ACS certified degree, students must take both 265 and 270, in addition to satisfying all other concentration requirements. Students who plan to attend graduate school in chemistry or chemically related fields are advised to take both 321 and 322. We invite all interested students to attend the departmental seminar series, which is a required part of 371, 551 and 552. Departmental honors are determined on the basis of distinguished coursework in chemistry (normally a minimum GPA of 3.5) and in the Senior Thesis.
A minor in chemistry consists of five courses, at least one of which must be at the 300-level or above. Chem 298 may not be counted towards satisfying the requirements for the minor. The minimum requirement in chemistry for preparation for medical school consists of 120 or 125; 190 and 255; and one additional course at the 200 level. Students who take Chem 270 as their additional 200-level course may also need to take Bio 346 to satisfy medical schools' Biochemistry requirement.
Principles of Chemistry.

Sorry if I'm a little bit distracted today. I've got this problem with a dress for my wedding. Not the wedding dress - that's all fine - but the dress I'm wearing to the wedding afterparty. It is THIS short, hot pink Herve Leger dress that I bought at vast expense from Net a Porter.
It arrived this morning and I fell about it like a starving man on a plate of bacon and eggs.
I tried it on.
It fit - it clung.
My stupid horrible arse arse buggery diet had worked and I looked exactly like a neurotic bride 3 weeks off her wedding.
Fuck... THREE WEEKS? ... Is that it?
Anyway, I rushed upstairs to show Giles who went "Oh my god wow." And then he said. "What are those stains?"
"What stains?" I looked down and saw. With the material pulled taught (taught, not tight) you could see murky sort of water marks all the way down the right hand side. I took the dress off, feeling ill, and hung it up. I rang Net a Porter. They said they'd change it for an unmarked one. But now it's hanging up looking very bright pink and a bit slutty and now I don't know. I'm not really kidding myself too much about a re-wear. I reasoned that I'm never going to be as thin as I'll be on my wedding day and would never have the guts to wear that kind of dress normally, so I might as well just go for it.
But then a little voice in my head - the one that feels ill at the price tags in Anthropologie and scuttles off to Topshop instead - tells me that to buy a dress you might never wear again is profligate and morally bad. But everything I own is a sensible colour and a sensible shape.
Anyway, the indescision rages on.
Meanwhile, here is a picture of a hot cross bun:
made by the lovely Harriet Addison, who follows this blog although she really ought to be writing one of her own (maybe she does?) because she's obviously a much better cook than me. Anyway, get your hot cross buns in for this weekend! I'm off to Waitrose in one hour and don't think for one second that there won't be a cellophane-wrapped package of high-class hot cross buns in my trolley. As I bow to Hadge's higher achievement, I reach for the trans-fats.
In other news, I must report a really textbook bit of storecupboard cooking from Giles yesterday: flageolet and chorizo stew.
You need:
1 Chop up the onion and sweat in a pan with the chorizo for 8-10mins
2 Add the beans (with water)
3 Cook everything, stirring occasionally, for about 12 mins
INSTANT stew. Enjoy with a couple of Haimisha cucumbers.

- What does it take to put on Colorado Shakespeare Festival?
The Colorado Shakespeare Festival, which in recent years has come under financial scrutiny by the University of Colorado for losing money, expects to finish 2013 with a "significant profit," according to the festival's interim director Tim Orr.
The festival, which racked up close to $1 million in losses from 2007 to 2009, saw a nearly 10 percent increase in ticket sales this year over 2012. Though the theater company's fiscal year ends Dec. 31, Orr said the festival is on track to finish in the black for the first time since 2006.
"That puts us in such a good position for 2014," Orr said. "We will have so much more breathing room, more resources and a little bit more money in our pocket to make 2014 even better and more beautiful."
Box office receipts for the 2013 season ending Aug. 11 were 17 percent higher than the festival's revenue goal. The theater company brought in $770,262 in ticket sales this season, up from a projected $657,300.
In the same year that the Colorado Shakespeare Festival posted gains, the University of California-Santa Cruz announced its theater company Shakespeare Santa Cruz would end production because of continuing debts. The North Carolina Shakespeare Festival also suspended operations this year because of financial troubles.
Orr said the Colorado Shakespeare Festival's financial gains are a result, in part, of opening ticket sales four months earlier than in years past. The company put tickets on sale in November 2012, rather than waiting until this March.
The festival also finished its season brochure two months early, giving theater-goers extra time to peruse the 2013 shows and events, Orr said.
One of the biggest changes this year was collaboration between the festival and other departments on campus to create more efficient marketing and fundraising efforts.
"In the past, CSF had its own small marketing division within our own office, we did our own fundraising, we ran our own box office," Orr said. "And other units around the campus like us were doing the same thing. It was the university that said why don't we centralize all of these small efforts into one large effort?"
Orr said the festival plans to repay more than $25,000 for subsidies it has received from the College of Arts and Sciences, and pay off two loans for improvements to the Mary Rippon Outdoor Theatre.
"We're paying off our credit cards," Orr said.
Steven Leigh, the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said he was "very happy" about the festival's financial improvement. Leigh, who had advocated for a stronger connection between the festival and students, said two new classes tied to the festival this summer were successes.
"We anticipate a few more courses next year," he said.
Though the theater company won't have final numbers until January, Orr said there are still two months of fundraising left in this fiscal year.
He and other Colorado Shakespeare Festival representatives will be having a much more positive conversation with potential donors than in years past, he said.
"Oh my goodness, yes," Orr said. "It's an entirely different conversation of, do you want to jump on board and travel with us. We're on an exciting path right now."

Recent research from iSuppli shows that even though the iPhone 4S is more expensive than the Lumia 900, Apple actually pays less per part than Nokia does. The biggest individual price difference is between displays; Apple pays $37 for theirs, Nokia pays $58. All told, Apple pays $190 in parts, while Nokia pays $209, which leads to Nokia making a $241 margin per device, and Apple making $459.
To be fair, Apple has some pretty great agreements in place with manufacturers thanks in no small part to the massive scale at which they place orders, plus the Lumia 900 has a bigger screen and an LTE antenna to pay for. In any case, when boiling costs down to a per-device basis, it's easy to see why Apple is sitting on a mountain of cash. You would think that Nokia would have mastered churning out a bajillionty phones at scale and reaping the benefits of scale, but those glory days of the dumbphone reign are long gone, and clearly not translating well to their future in smartphones.
As much as we can on Nokia for having such slim margins, that's more a result of their market position rather than cause of it; Windows Phone is still very young, and even though it's set to overtake BlackBerry market share given its current momentum, it will be a long time still before Nokia (or anyone else) will be able to see the same margins as Apple.

Two local residents joined members of the Earth Quaker Action Team last week for a small demonstration of environmental solidarity before they closed their accounts at the local PNC Bank branch, 8340 Germantown Ave.
Sharon Mullally of Mt. Airy and Laurie Barron of Erdenheim joined about a dozen other supporters of the Quaker activists in distributing flyers before each woman closed her account with the bank. Both said they were closing their accounts because of PNC's involvement in the financing of mountaintop removal mining practices.
"I've been banking with PNC since 1991," Mullally said. "But I just can't let my money be used to support mountaintop removal."
Mullally said she had researched the effects of mountaintop removal and its impact on nearby communities. She pointed to pollution and the fact that mountaintop removal processes were done with heavy machines that also took jobs away from the local population.
"I'm not saying mining is a great way to live, but mining can offer jobs, which mountaintop removal doesn't," she said.
Barron was going to close two accounts and said she was doing so for the same reasons.
"My conscience will not allow me to continue to support the desecration of the environment," she said. "I've been banking with PNC for 40 years, and it's not convenient for me to switch banks, but I have to."
Both Mullally and Barron said they have never had a problem with PNC staff or customer serviceat the branch. Both said they were switching their accounts to Valley Green Bank and were satisfied that the local bank would not invest in anything like mountaintop removal.
Walter Sullivan, program manager for the Earth Quaker Action Team, said his organization has targeted PNC, not because they dislike the bank, but because it is a bank with a Quaker history and one, he believes, that really would rather be investing in something else.
"We think PNC should not be involved in the practice of mountaintop removal and we think they really don't want to be," he said.
Sullivan, a Mt. Airy resident, said his organization has been holding similar protests against PNCs support of mountaintop removal mining for the last two years. And it has had an impact. The bank changed its policy in late 2010 with a promise to not make loans to any organization that used mountaintop removal as its primary means of mining and would also not lend to individual mountaintop removal projects.
Sullivan said it was a nice change, but argued that the effect was minimal.
"They weren't investing in those companies to begin with, so (the policy change) had no teeth," he said.
Sullivan said members of his organization would enter the bank and distribute information to employees of the bank about their organization and encourage them to learn more.
"We're all for the employees, and we're all for mountains," he said. "We will invite them to learn more about what we're doing."

Between his gigs in front of the camera as an actor and increasingly behind the camera as a director, not to mention his writing career and a highly anticipated Comedy Central roast, James Franco will find the time to host a new art-related series for the Ovation cable station.
"James Franco Presents," which is scheduled to premiere in November, will follow Franco on his exploration of gallery exhibitions, his personal videos and other pet art projects. "It is an art show that is an art piece, meaning the show has synched with the rhythms of my life and work," said Franco in a release.
Ovation said the series will feature Franco's video diaries -- "thousands of hours from James' personal video library will be showcased" -- as well as footage from his most ambitious art films and interactions with his "heroes" from every artistic genre.
CRITICS' PICKS: What to watch, where to go, what to eat
In the past, Franco has shown his interest in visual art through his collaborations with Jeffrey Deitch at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, including a 2012 exhibition entitled "Rebel" inspired by the 1955 movie "Rebel Without a Cause." He has also created his own artwork, including the video piece "My Own Private River," which focuses on the late River Phoenix and the movie "My Own Private Idaho."
Ovation said that Franco will host and executive produce the series. In addition to a memorably sleazy performance in Harmony Korine's "Spring Breakers" this year, Franco had directed three movies that will soon see commercial or festival releases -- "As I Lay Dying," "Interior.

The Real Shpiel
I know I've been working the Jewish angle pretty hard lately, but really, with Purim starting tomorrow and all, this time I just couldn't resist. Why? Because it's totally relevant. Purim is a drama-filled holiday, the Jewish Halloween, really, where everyone dresses up like their favorite character, gets really drunk (actually, the rule is, you're supposed to get so drunk you don't know the difference between Mordecai--good guy--and Haman--bad guy), and performs a dramatic reading of the whole story. And you thought the Irish owned that sort of thing.
Tonight there's a whole lot of top-shelf Purim happening in New York, and by top-shelf, I don't mean Manischewitz.
There's the Fifth Annual Broadway Purimshpiel, in which actors from just about every major production come together to nosh a little, raise some money and tell a little story 'bout a man named Mordecai.
There's also the 92nd St. Y's Purim Party with The Daily Show's Wyatt Cenac and John Oliver, Jewish sketch comedians The Shushan Channel, and what are being billed as gourmet hamantaschen, which will probably draw more audience members than all the entertainment combined.
Of course, if you're like me and there's no chance you'll be anywhere near Manhattan (Or synagogue, sorry.) tonight, here's an article on making your shpiel shparkle.

Evangelicals have been a powerful political force in U.S. presidential elections. Although evangelicals turned out overwhelmingly for Mitt Romney last November 6, the hitherto unknown and unspoken fact is that their numbers have plummeted in just the last few years because their young are leaving Evangelicalism in droves.
Evangelicals sometimes refer to themselves as "non-denominational" Christians. Who exactly are the evangelicals?
This is how Wikipedia defines and describes evangelical Christians:
Evangelicalism is a Protestant Christian movement that began in the 17th century and became an organized movement with the emergence around 1730 of the Methodists in England and the Pietists among Lutherans in Germany and Scandinavia. The movement became even more significant in the United States during the series of Great Awakenings of the 18th and 19th centuries, where it drew far more members than in Europe. […]
Evangelicalism de-emphasizes ritual and emphasizes the piety of the individual, requiring him or her to meet certain active commitments, including:
- The need for personal conversion, or being "born again"
- A high regard for biblical authority
- An emphasis on teachings that proclaim the saving death and resurrection of the Son of God, Jesus Christ
- Actively expressing and sharing the gospel
David Bebbington has termed these four distinctive aspects conversionism, biblicism, crucicentrism, and activism, noting, "Together they form a quadrilateral of priorities that is the basis of Evangelicalism."
John S. Dickerson is an evangelical, the senior pastor of Cornerstone Church, and author of the forthcoming book The Great Evangelical Recession: Six Factors That Will Crash the American Church … and How to Prepare.
Here are excerpts from Dickerson's op-ed for The New York Times on December 15, 2012:
In 2012 we witnessed a collapse in American evangelicalism. The old religious right largely failed to affect the Republican primaries, much less the presidential election. Last month, Americans voted in favor of same-sex marriage in four states, while Florida voters rejected an amendment to restrict abortion.
[…] Evangelicalism as we knew it in the 20th century is disintegrating.
In 2011 the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life polled church leaders from around the world. Evangelical ministers from the United States reported a greater loss of influence than church leaders from any other country — with some 82% indicating that their movement was losing ground.
[…] Studies from established evangelical polling organizations — LifeWay Research, an affiliate of the Southern Baptist Convention, and the Barna Group — have found that a majority of young people raised as evangelicals are quitting church, and often the faith, entirely.
As a contemporary of this generation (I'm 30), I embarked three years ago on a project to document the health of evangelical Christianity in the United States. I did this research not only as an insider, but also as a former investigative journalist for an alt weekly. […]
First, evangelicals, while still perceived as a majority, have become a shrinking minority in the United States. In the 1980s heyday of the Rev. Jerry Falwell's Moral Majority, some estimates accounted evangelicals as a third or even close to half of the population, but research by the Notre Dame sociologist Christian Smith recently found that Christians who call themselves evangelicals account for just 7% of Americans. (Other research has reported that some 25 percent of Americans belong to evangelical denominations, though they may not, in fact, consider themselves evangelicals.) Dr. Smith's findings are derived from a three-year national study of evangelical identity and influence, financed by the Pew Research Center. They suggest that American evangelicals now number around 20 million, about the population of New York State. The global outlook is more optimistic, as evangelical congregations flourish in places like China, Brazil and sub-Saharan Africa.
But while America's population grows by roughly two million a year, attendance across evangelical churches — from the Southern Baptists to Assembles of God and nondenominational churches — has gradually declined, according to surveys of more than 200,000 congregations by the American Church Research Project.
The movement also faces a donation crisis as older evangelicals, who give a disproportionately large share, age. Unless younger evangelicals radically increase their giving, the movement will be further strained.
Dickerson claims to know why the number and political influence of evangelicals have declined in America. In short, it is because evangelicals are out of step with "ground-shaking changes in American culture," including, notably, the move toward support for same-sex marriage.
He claims "The result is that evangelicals are increasingly typecast as angry and repressed bigots. In 2007, the Institute for Jewish and Community Research, in a survey of 1,300 college professors, found that 3% held "unfavorable feelings" toward Jews, 22% toward Muslims and 53% toward evangelical Christians."
So what is Dickerson's advice to evangelicals?
First, he says evangelicalism will never return "to the politically muscular force it was as recently as 2004, when white evangelicals gave President George W. Bush his narrow re-election."
Next, Dickerson says Evangelicals must "refashion themselves into a more sensitive, spiritual and humble movement" by abandoning their moralizing "posture" and seemingly superior demeanor:
We evangelicals must accept that our beliefs are now in conflict with the mainstream culture. We cannot change ancient doctrines to adapt to the currents of the day. But we can, and must, adapt the way we hold our beliefs — with grace and humility instead of superior hostility. The core evangelical belief is that love and forgiveness are freely available to all who trust in Jesus Christ. This is the "good news" from which the evangelical name originates ("euangelion" is a Greek word meaning "glad tidings" or "good news"). Instead of offering hope, many evangelicals have claimed the role of moral gatekeeper, judge and jury. If we continue in that posture, we will continue to invite opposition and obscure the "good news" we are called to proclaim.
I believe the cultural backlash against evangelical Christianity has less to do with our views — many observant Muslims and Jews, for example, also view homosexual sex as wrong, while Catholics have been at the vanguard of the movement to protect the lives of the unborn — and more to do with our posture. The Scripture calls us "aliens and exiles" (1 Peter 2:11), but American evangelicals have not acted with the humility and homesickness of aliens. The proper response to our sexualized and hedonistic culture is not to chastise, but to "conduct yourselves honorably among the Gentiles, so that, though they malign you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God" (1 Peter 2:12).
This does not mean we whitewash unpopular doctrines like the belief that we are all sinners but that we re-emphasize the free forgiveness available to all who believe in Jesus Christ.
Not being an evangelical, I'm very interested in what the evangelicals among FOTM's readers think about all this.

Papua New Guinea-stub
Hi, I see you amended the list of stubs to include one for Papua New Guinea. I have now created the stub and the associated category. --Steve 16:15, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
Adoption sign for FLGenWeb
Hi Rorie, I noticed that you had started but not finished two adoption signs for the FLGenWeb project, {{Adoption FLGenWeb}} and {{Adoption FLGenWeb Project}}. I have corrected to code so that either one will work. As they are now identical (apart from the name), you should probably mark one for deletion.
I have also updated the instructions for creating a new adoption sign to refer to the documentation for the adoption sign template rather than {{UserBox Adopt-A-Wiki Page}} which is an example of how a sign looks, rather than the code to use when creating a new sign. --Steve 12:52, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Getting Started pages project
Thanks for volunteering to help with the Getting Started pages project! I have been working on the Help:Tour page and was wondering if you could come share your thoughts - what concepts are needed for a "Tour" of the wiki? Here is a Sandbox page with the general idea. Feel free to add your own edits/thoughts.
Also, the Edit & Contribute pages just had some changes made, what do you think?
Community Center is next..... --janellv 02:29, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Utah Pages
I just noticed that you added a note on the Utah discussion page about helping with the Utah pages. Sorry I didn't see the note before tonight. We'd love your help. Were you volunteering to be an assistant moderator, or to help with the general content improvement? Right now I'm reviewing all the content that has already been added for Utah, and evaluating the format and styles that exist on all the pages. There are some basic things that need adding, but with the pages the way they are right now, I'm perplexed about where to put the content. Currently I'm gathering my analysis in a Google Doc, but will add the results to the FamilySearch Wiki:WikiProject Utah in the near future. The first thing I need to add on each county page is the template for the invitation to be the moderator. If you have any ideas as to where this little piece of content should go on the county pages, let me know. I welcome your ideas. --Fran 07:06, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

I see major changes on the layout and format of the WV page. Did you do that? If so, please tell me more.

Never mind. It has nothing to do with your edits. The appearance of the page is completely different when viewed in Firefox. I'll give "Feedback" on that. Charlene Pipkin 18:39, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi there. I believe you are approving and posting the county locator maps I uploaded for the counties in Northeast Ohio. It would be great if these could be labeled at "Oh-county.png" to remain consistent with the existing naming convention already on the wiki. I would love to go through all 88 counties and upload pictures, but this is obviously a gigantic task being that I'd have to pull each one off of Wikimedia Commons and upload them one at a time by hand. If there is a way way easier way for someone on the "inside" to do this, I would appreciate it. I am trying to use these locator maps to place infoboxes on each of the county pages for Ohio to neaten things up! Let me know if you can help streamline this or if I can be of any further help. - LeeTHawkins 15:36, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Those interested in owning chickens may get their wish, as Ward 3 Councilwoman Camille Vella-Wilkinson plans to introduce legislation allowing people to have chickens on their property as long as they live on at least five acres.
Vella-Wilkinson, who heads the Council Economic Development Committee, is also in the process of fine-tuning the language of an ordinance that would amend criteria for city purchasing.
While the chicken ordinance won't be addressed until after the budget hearing in the spring, and the purchasing legislation will be addressed at the Feb. 22 meeting, Monday's meeting at City Hall will find Ward 6 Councilwoman Donna Travis withdrawing her ordinance to reinstate beach fees at Oakland Beach, Buttonwoods and Conimicut, as well as Ward 4 Councilman Joe Solomon introducing two pieces of legislation, the first of which would request a six-month expenditure report by all departments, and another relative to the disposal of surplus and used city assets.
The chicken ordinance will propose that conforming lots can obtain up to six hens, and owners of nonconforming lots can have up to four hens. Roosters will not be permitted.
Vella-Wilkinson said the idea is far from foul, as people will be able to have fresh eggs.
"If you have a rooster, you have more difficulty controlling the population," she said. "You can still have eggs but we're not going to have a rooster crowing. People who don't want chickens don't want to have chickens in their yards."
The ordinance will require chickens be penned and live in a coop to keep them safe at night. It also identifies how many feet from the property line the chickens must be. However, the ordinance is not yet fully drafted.
"A lot of communities that are moving towards sustainable living are allowing chicken-raising within city limits," Vella-Wilkinson said. "Things are getting more expensive and eggs are a good source of protein. The chickens are clean so you're not going to have a problem with hormones."
Vella-Wilkinson raised chickens for more than three years when she was in the Navy living in Charlestown, S.C. At the time, her son, Ian, was young and one of the sailors said it was time he had some "critters to take care of."
"He brought me a shoebox with chicks in it," she said. "A chief also brought me Rhode Island Reds. The only reason my neighbors knew that I had chickens was because I was giving away so many eggs. They were thrilled. There are a lot of people from the city calling me saying they are very interested about having the chickens."
Vella-Wilkinson is also in the process of fine-tuning the ordinance that would amend criteria for city purchasing. In the future, she hopes the city will more often consider approving bids made by local businesses, as she feels it could be an effective means of economic development.
According to Vella-Wilkinson, 33.6 percent of revenue from national chains is reinvested back into the local community in which they are located, as opposed to a 64.8 percent return
from local business, which help to support schools, civic services and community improvements.
However, she is still researching the issue and has sought input from local business owners to hear how it would benefit or harm their companies. As a result, she decided to hold the legislation until the Feb. 22 meeting, possibly later.
"In the New England area, if you have a 'Buy Local' ordinance where first priority goes to your local venders, you could potentially limit the local businesses in the municipality when it comes to their ability to bid out in municipalities in Massachusetts and Connecticut because there's no reciprocal agreement," she said. "My intent is to help local businesses and not hurt them in the long run."
While the committee is yet to discuss the legislation, Vella-Wilkinson said she's always looking at ways to assist small businesses.
"I want to help the business communities in the city that have been hit hard by the economy, property taxes and car taxes," she said. "We want to keep our businesses local. I hate seeing empty storefronts."
Further, Ward 6 Councilwoman Donna Travis has decided to withdraw her ordinance to reinstate beach fees at Oakland Beach, Buttonwoods and Conimicut after meeting with Mayor Scott Avedisian and members of his administration last week.
Despite the fact that she isn't thrilled with the amount of littering that occurs at Oakland Beach, Travis said she plans to withdraw it from the docket during Monday's meeting because it would be too pricey for the city.
In 2007, Avedisian recommended revoking beach fees, as departments learned that revenues were about half the cost of running the seasonal program and cost $12,000 annually.
Now, to Travis' delight, Avedisian, along with his chief of staff, Mark Carruolo, and Public Works Director Dave Picozzi, is looking to alternative ways to keep beaches clean.
"I was really trying to get the administration to take notice. That was my big point," Travis said Tuesday. "They've got to do something. We don't need any more added line items in the budget but I know people who are not happy with the garbage problems we are having so we want to try to address it in different ways."
Unlike Buttonwoods and Conimicut, Travis said, Oakland Beach is the only beach with a dining setting. She has seen trash, as well as discarded diapers, in the parking lots and scattered on the beach.
Travis is a member of the Oakland Beach Association, which performs biannual beach cleanups. They also provide maintenance to public property within their ward when needed.
"We want people to be able to come to the beach, but we also want them to pick up," said Travis.
In an attempt to remedy the issue, Avedisian said the city will have four temporary jobs available to high school and college students to tidy up the beaches a few hours each morning before visitors arrive at the beach beginning on Memorial Day. Wages are yet to be determined.
"We're looking at it from a different perspective and figuring out we can control the litter better," Avedisian said. "As it gets closer to summer, we will advertise for the positions."
Also, Ward 4 Councilman Joseph Solomon is set to introduce two pieces of legislation, the first of which would request a six-month expenditure report by all department or acting department directors. He said he feels it's necessary so the council can get an idea for upcoming budget cuts.
"We want to see what has been overspent, under-spent and what is right on the mark right now," Solomon said. "Then, we can present these items when it's time to make the cuts."
He also has an ordinance relative to the disposal of surplus and used city assets. These items, Solomon said, most likely have scrap value.
"Sometimes scrap value is more than the value of the item being sold," he said. "The reason this came to light was because we recently sold off some vehicles that were aluminum and the money we got for these vehicles would have generated more in scrap aluminum value than they did in vehicle value. We want to give the taxpayer the optimal return value on the disposal of certain items."

Not Just Talk: Food in the South Bronx
The BLK ProjeK
Saturday, February 16, 2013 from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EST)
Join us Saturday, February 16th!
(click here for the live stream and follow along with us on twitter at #tanyatalks)
From conflict can come progress. On February 16th we create a platform of inclusion, celebration, discussion and action. Join us for a multidiscplinary approach to discuss food and food access effect on the South Bronx (and beyond).
The South Bronx is a community through which millions of pounds of food arrive everyday but residents have little access to. On that day we will come together in the spirit of progress, action and resiliency. We will explore the themes that create our current reality and then celebrate those who engage, dream big and move forward!
It is a day of talks, visioning, art, music and of course great food and drink.
Don't worry if you can't make it, we will be livestreaming the event.
Check back often as we add more info about our speakers, panelists, muscians and artist.
Confirmed so far:
The BLK ProjeK addresses food justice, environmental justice and public and mental health by empowering underserved women of color through political education, beautification of community spaces, urban farming and holistic health programming. By creating equal access to these enriching experiences for under-served women of color, we strengthen and empower our entire society.
In order to purchase these tickets in installments, you'll need an Eventbrite account. Log in or sign up for a free account to continue.

- A Love of Truth—essential for a just, inclusive and progressive society;
- A Sense of Justice—recognition of the rights and needs, of all.
- Spirit of Cooperation—based on active goodwill and the principle of right human relationships;
- A Sense of Personal Responsibility—for group, community and national affairs;
- Serving the Common Good—through the sacrifice of selfishness. Only what is good for all is good for each one.
These are spiritual values, inspiring the conscience and the consciousness of those who serve to create a better way of life.
The Fate of All Peoples and Nations is Determined by the Values which Govern Their Decisions
The human and world crisis of today is basically spiritual, testing the character, and intention of all men and women. This provides opportunity to reappraise the values we accept as a personal standard of behaviour.
The world of the future depends on what each one of us chooses to do today.
This is a crisis period of significance for the peoples of the world. It should be a time of re-evaluation. A value is the relative worth we assign to some aspect of daily life, or a recognised intrinsic excellence or usefulness. These may be matters of opinion and, therefore, debatable. But many values in human life are basic to the "general welfare of all the people" lying above the daily round and the common task. The principles set out in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights are a constant reminder to all the people of the world of the fundamental goals and purity of motive that influence decisions.
Today, in a rapidly changing world we see a basic confrontation between the old and the new; crystallized, outworn forms and progressive ideas, self-interest and human welfare, nationalism and a planetary consciousness, material values and spiritual values.
Material values confine an individual, a group or a nation within limits determined by the forms of life created to serve its own interests. Forms may change; but if motives of narrow self-interest remain, nothing of value to human culture and civilisation results.
Spiritual values relate to the enlightenment, the freedom and the creative growth of the human race. They promote the innate human tendency toward synthesis and wholeness. They expand rather than limit the horizons of human vision and capacity. They can be symbolised as an upward spiral of infinite potentiality.
The spiritual values of greatest importance are those that lift us out of our self-centered pre-occupations. Self-interest benefits no one, including oneself, so interdependent and interrelated has human society become.
The "sacrifice of selfishness" would release new values into national and international life. It could hasten the end of the arms race, still perpetuated by the power and profit motive, and lead the way towards world disarmament and world peace, visioned and provided for in the Charter of the United Nations.
The sacrifice of selfishness provides for the sharing and contribution of all parts of society in the growth and prosperity of the whole. It provides for responsibility, concern and commitment, for wholeness in attitudes and actions, for a new perspective on life and its true values. The true values of the peoples of the world lie in a few principles or qualities: unity, tranquility—social harmony, security, freedom, and a general wellbeing—"for all the people". In such a framework, a sense of responsibility develops side by side with the rights and freedoms to which all are entitled; mutual trust and respect provide the safeguard.
Each nation, great or small, can play its part. Focused, determined, enlightened public opinion is the most potent force in the world and can produce the needed moral leadership. Let our renunciation of selfishness and of materialism light the way into a better future for humanity.
The hindrances to a new and better world order for all mankind can be summed up in one word, selfishness—national, racial, political, religious, economic and individual selfishness.
New values to live by are desperately needed if our planet as we know it is to survive. Selfishness can be transcended and the vision of a better world can become factual. The time has come in this interdependent world for individuals to submerge their personal interests in the good of the group; for the group or groups to merge their interests in the national good; for nations to relinquish their selfish purposes and goals in the interests of right international relationships and the good of humanity as a whole.
There is a growing tide of aspiration towards new vision for better ways of life for all people everywhere in the world. Human consciousness is opening to spiritual impression and to the realisation that there are desirable spiritual values to be built into every aspect of life, superseding the materialism which has controlled mankind for centuries. These values concern essential attitudes of mind and heart which determine actions and create the circumstances of daily life.
The sacrifice of selfishness would increase the bonds of understanding between peoples of the world, through the practical substitution of international cooperation, mutual tolerance and sharing between peoples and nations. It can liberate the men and women of all nations from limitation into freedom from fear and from want, freedom of speech and of worship, and freedom to expand mentally and spiritually.
The time must come in the history of the human race when so large a number of people have awakened to the finer spiritual issues and values that the old attitudes and activities will be rendered eternally impossible on a large scale.
The goal of the new world order is surely that every nation, large and small (with minorities given equal and proportionate rights) should pursue its own individual culture and work out its own salvation, but that each and all should develop the realisation that they are organic parts of one corporate whole and should consciously and selflessly contribute to the whole. This realisation is already present in the heart of countless numbers all over the world; it carries with it great responsibility. When intelligently developed and wisely handled it will lead to right human relationships, economic stability, based on the spirit of sharing, and a new orientation of person to person, of nation to nation, and of all to that supreme power to which we give the name God.
Translated into national terms, these realisations take the conflict and competition out of the many facets of society. While each group fights for itself and its own self-interest there can be no "social harmony," no tranquility, no security or unity, no freedom or wellbeing.
The fundamental human value needed today as the basis for a better life in the society in which we live is the simple, practical use of the energy of goodwill. Goodwill is an inclusive, cooperative attitude of mind; it is "love in action"; it encourages justice and integrity in those with influence and authority. It is truly the cornerstone of a human society responding to the values of the new age.
Let us support in thought and action those who act with goodwill on behalf of "the general welfare of all the people."

I like much of what Steven Pinker writes, but I thought his book, The Blank Slate, was terrible for its black-and-white version of the nature/nurture argument. As a developmental biologist, I'm probably about as far to the plastic, environmentally-influenced side of the argument as you can get, and I don't believe the human mind is a "blank slate". I don't know anyone who does (I'm sure they exist, spinning out endless wordy fables in humanities departments…but they're not operationally significant at all in the biology departments).
Now Pinker gets cited by a British loon who wants to use his arguments as veiled racism, and of course he's also anti-feminist. So he cheerfully cites Pinker in support, and unfortunately, this is Pinker setting up a false dichotomy…but it's also Pinker writing wonderfully clearly and economically.
Equity feminism is a moral doctrine about equal treatment that makes no commitments regarding open empirical issues in psychology or biology. Gender feminism is an empirical doctrine committed to three claims about human nature. The first is that the differences between men and women have nothing to do with biology but are socially constructed in their entirety. The second is that humans possess a single social motive – power – and that social life can be understood only in terms of how it is exercised. The third is that human interactions arise not from the motives of people dealing with each other as individuals but from the motives of groups dealing with other groups – in this case, the male gender dominating the female gender.
Oh, man, where to begin…
First, that's straight from Christina Hoff Sommers, the one 'feminist' (she's more of an anti-feminist) writer the misogynists love to quote. I have heard so many raving nutcases throw around the terms "gender" and "equity feminism" as authoritative put-downs of any attempt to promote feminist issues, when what they really are are silencing tools to misrepresent people's views.
Equity feminism, as presented in that quote, is nonsense. It's like those people who claim they "don't see color", and therefore they aren't racist and are treating all non-white people equally. You can't pretend to be color-blind or sex-blind in a culture that privileges white maleness! Yes, we want to promote equal opportunity for all, but you won't achieve that by pretending that the historical and social consequences of sex and race don't exist. Respect human beings as male, female, or trans; as black, brown, or white. Recognize the realities of culture and biology, neither of which are as discrete and binary as postulated there.
It's like we're all running a hundred meter dash, and some people get a 95 meter head start, while others begin 100 meters behind the starting line…and we're all going to agree to turn a blind eye to those inequities because we've sworn to pretend that everyone gets a fair start. So no, I'm not an "equity feminist".
But now look at that definition of gender feminists. I'm sure such creatures exist — in a country with a Tea Party, we all know by now that caricatures do come to life — but look at the details there. Pinker lists 3 defining characteristics, and I don't agree with a single one of them. 1) Men and women have different biological predispositions (which cannot be reduced to trite cliches, like women are good at housecleaning and men like football), 2) social interactions are complex and cannot be distilled down to a single factor, and 3) there are multiple levels of interaction — individual, race, sex, class — that affect motives and outcomes. Gosh, I differ because I think human interactions are actually complicated!
So I read that nice clear statement by Pinker, and I have to conclude that I must not be any kind of feminist at all.
Either that, or Christina Hoff Sommers is full of shit.

How We Ship Cannas
Shipments are sent via USPS, UPS and FedEx Ground. Our shipping season is from mid-February through the month of June, based on availability. Please select your preferred Monday ship date from the calendar icon during the checkout process. We ship the majority of orders on Mondays so that your cannas are guaranteed to arrive on or before Friday. We do this to avoid cannas sitting on a dock over a weekend while in transit.
Please contact us by email or phone for orders shipping to Hawaii, Alaska and Puerto Rico. Shipping charges differ for these locations.
How We Package Cannas
All of our cannas are quality checked and then packaged by hand specifically for your order. We select large, three to five eye rhizomes that are packed fresh with peat moss. As the spring temperatures warm during the shipping season, many varieties will have eyes begin to grow. We leave the eyes intact for shipping. This gives you a jump start on the growing season!
Cannas may be planted in the spring after danger from frost. Best results are achieved when planted in a loose, fertile and well-draining soil that has warmed to at least 60 degrees. Here in zone 7 we recommend planting from late March to late April. Adjust this guideline to your zone. Before spring planting, soil can be amended with compost, manure and a high nitrogen fertilizer. Cannas will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Cannas love sun and require a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight.
Plant rhizomes 12 to 18 inches apart. Lay the long part of the rhizome horizontal to the earth's surface with eye up, if visible. This is not critical, as cannas will grow no matter which direction they are planted. Cannas are best planted in shallow, warm ground covered with just about two inches of soil.
In colder regions, (6-8 weeks before spring), bulbs can be planted in pots and placed in greenhouse conditions. When danger of frost is past, remove from pot and plant outside. Cultivate often to keep soil loose and free of weeds.
Watering & Fertilization
Cannas should be watered thoroughly once a week by slowly soaking the area around roots. Cannas are heavy feeders. For optimum performance apply a high nitrogen, foliar fertilizer twice a month. Organic matter turned into the soil, such as composted manure, will provide a great benefit as well. Although cannas will continue to bloom if not dead-headed, cutting old spent flowers and seed pods will make them prettier and neater in the garden.
Insects rarely bother cannas. Leaf-feeding insects and leaf-rolling caterpillars can be stopped by regular applications of systemic insecticide products such as Ortho Systemic Insect Killer.
Cannas will multiply by producing 3 to 5 new rhizomes for each one planted. Dig clumps of bulbs in the late fall or after the first frost for re-planting the following spring.
The most common mistake is allowing the canna rhizomes to dry out too much while in storage.
Two methods of storage are:
- 1. Remove old stalks, leave bulbs in clump with soil intact. Pile clumps and cover with plastic and store in basement, cellar, cool corner of a garage, crawl space, etc. Never store in mesh bags that will allow rhizomes to become too dry.
- 2. Rhizomes can be washed, divided, and layered with peat moss in cardboard boxes with lids or in plastic bags. A few air holes around the sides with help give a small amount of needed air flow. Store in basement or another cool place such as a cool corner of a garage, under the house, cellar, etc.
Rhizomes must not be allowed to freeze during storage. The ideal storage temperature is 50 degrees.
IN SOUTHERN STATES (zone 7-10) where the ground doesn't freeze below four to six inches, cannas can be left in the ground all winter. Cut foliage down to the ground and if needed, cover flowerbed with six to twelve inches of grass clippings, leaves, compost, hay straw, etc. Cannas can be thinned in the spring every two to three years by digging out thick areas of bulbs to allow spacing between the plants.

Despite some serious wintery mix of snow and rain, Park City opening day cracked off with heavy attendance. Head PC snowboard coach, Dave Reynolds was "happy to see everyone out and riding in our park. The crew did an incredible job, and we're looking forward to even more park features as we gear up for a full winter."
The groomers of PC are always a good time, and there was plenty of wide open trail to get some of the first carves of the season off the Pay Day lift. The real story was the park that the crew at PC put together. True to form, there was a full lap of park features, boxes, rails, two sizable jumps, and more for any and all riders to take care of business and be able to claim "I Ride Park City".

The news came across the wires this morning that thumping Marlins outfielder Mike Stanton, who finished 5th in the NL with 34 home runs last year, will now go by Giancarlo Stanton, his birth name. (His full name is Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton, and he says he prefers Giancarlo.)
This is big news not only for Marlins fans but for baseball historians, because lefty reliever Mike Stanton—who pitched from 1989 to 2007 and made the All-Star Game in 2001—is once again entrenched as the greatest Mike Stanton in MLB history. We called up that Mike Stanton, who's now coaching in Texas and appearing on pre- and post-game shows for the Houston Astros, to break the news to him and gauge his reaction.
"Uh, I don't really have a reaction. I know there was a lot of confusion. He's probably getting a lot of my baseball cards, like I get a lot of his baseball cards," Stanton said.
"I know he's of Latin heritage, and maybe he wants people to know that," Stanton said. (The other Stanton told the AP that Giancarlo was an Italian name, and not one of any particular relevance—his parents just liked it.)
"But if he keeps hitting home runs like that, though, probably no one will care what his name is," Stanton added.
For now, former lefty reliever Mike Stanton is back on top of the Mike Stanton pyramid (80s righty reliever Mike Stanton was supplanted years ago), until another Mike Stanton comes along and tries to snatch the crown.

This script takes information from "SHOW STATUS LIKE..." and "SHOW VARIABLES LIKE..."
to produce sane recomendations for tuning server variables.
It is compatable with all versions of MySQL 3.23 and higher (including 5.1).
Currently it handles recomendations for the following:
Recent Changes
- Was manfest in MEMORY USAGE section where total system RAM > 4GB.
- Other values may have the same issue but are not yet reported
- Use /proc/meminfo vs free -b and avoid inclusion of swap space.
This script takes information from "SHOW SLAVE STATUS" from MySQL +4.1 to show what
the delay between the retrieved master's position and the slave's execution position.
This script has a 1 second granularity.
This script produces no output when replication slave is running normally.
If either IO or SQL threads are not running it will print a message indicating so
and print the contentsof the "Last_error:"
I typically set it up on a 2minute cron. It has some logic in place to avoid repeat
e-mailing from CRON when down status is found. It will wait 15 minutes before producing
the next message. You can also disable the scripts checking by changing the "active"
variable to "no". This allows users without direct access to cron to controll the script.
This script assumes that a ~/.my.cnf will be in place for authentication.
This script pulls hot backups of MyISAM tables and flushes the binary log files when called with the 'DAILY' option
When called with 'HOURLY' option it will rsync the binlogs for the server to the specified backup directory.
Recently added support for InnoDB with the 3rd party 'ibbackup' utility Added support for MySQL 4.1 and 5.0.

The Wabash web site, as well as email, telephone service, and Moodle, will be down Saturday, May 21, from 8am until 4pm. During this time, we will move much of our network and server infrastructure to a temporary space so that our primary data center can be renovated.
The data center renovation in the basement of Baxter Hall will take place over the next two months. "During this time we will replace the electrical wiring, install a fire suppression system, improve the cooling and environmental monitoring, protect against flood and water damage, and improve physical security," Director of Information Technology Services Brad Weaver said. "Once completed, the renovated space will offer a more stable environment for our day-to-day operations, and protect against catastrophic loss in the event of a disaster to Baxter Hall."
