Revision as of 10:33, 26 June 2009
A product of the OLPC initiative, Sugar is a Desktop Environment akin to KDE and GNOME, but geared towards children and education. If you have a young son, daughter, brother, sister, puppy or alien, the best way to introduce them to the world of Arch Linux is by deploying an Arch/Sugar platform and then forgetting about it. That's the beauty of Arch Linux (TM) - Deploy and Forget (But Know How to Deploy).
But wait..where art thou, O Sugar?
That's right. To lead such a good life, you need at least some Sugar-related packages in at least AUR.
Getting Started
I have begun noting down the dependencies, and if I do get the time to complete scripting the entire sugar group, I will put them all up on AUR as soon as I am able to.
"I hope we can remove these first-person references soon" -- schiv on himself
And yes, YOU should not be lazy and carry on independently from the information herein.
Building a Bundle
This is a cool build system provided by the developers that allows one to download and build Sugar almost in its entirety. You will be told what you need, and of course, it will not help if what you need has not yet been packaged for us mighty Archers.
The resulting project can then be offered as a bundle. This method of building should not be encouraged, since it is not "modular". A likely analogy is the easy-e17 script, except that we are in the opposite situation whereby there are no modular packages and thus no group - yet. Adding the provision is a safety measure, .eg:
pkgname=sugar-bundle pkgdesc="The Sugar environment and applications built with jhbuild" provides=('sugar-desktop') # as in provides=('e') conflicts=('sugar-desktop')
But as soon as someone uploads a component of the build/Sugar as a separate package, it must be part of the group (and the bundle package will automatically conflict), eg.:
pkgname=sugar-toolkit pkgdesc="The Sugar environment toolkit" groups=('sugar-desktop' 'sugar-desktop-base')
Building a Modular Group
This is the more appropriate route to take. Here is the current list of noted dependencies, acquired by inspecting the build trees of distributions supported by Sugar (Gentoo in particular):
# Syntax: pkgname .. :-> location + comment1 + comment2 .. espeak :-> [community] squeak :-> [unsupported] + outdated + needs patching for sugar evince :-> [extra] + needs patching for sugar pyabiword :-> [unsupported] python-cjson :-> [community] python-telepathy :-> [community] gst-plugins-espeak :-> [unsupported] olpcsound :-> [unsupported] telepathy-glib :-> [community] xulrunner :-> [extra] telepathy-gabble :-> [community] telepathy-salut :-> [community] hippo-canvas :-> [unsupported]
And the bash-fu to install all existing packages (if you have saved the above in a file called sugar.todo):
~# pacman -S $(grep ":->" sugar.todo | grep -v unsupported | awk '{print $1}')
The above basically filters the output, first matching a string with grep, then leaving out matches with grep -v, and finally showing only the first coloumn of stdout with awk.
The following are "Level 2" dependencies:
abiword-devel :-> [unsupported] + required by pyabiword
The Applications
From the Sugar Wiki, the following are the Sugar components that we should be distributing:
hulahop sugar-toolkit datastore presence-service sugar sugar-base artwork imageviewer-activity web-activity log-activity terminal-activity turtleart-activity etoys chat-activity pippy-activity read-activity calculate jukebox write
Things to ponder about:
- Should we prepend "sugar" to all the individual packages (some of the names are pretty generic) eg.sugar-hulahop?
- Even if the name has not been taken by another package in the repos/AUR?

I dunno, I thought it was clear before I saw a couple of replays. I still think the umpire overstepped but Escobar was Not merely running to third. We got two earlier calls we didn't deserve as well (Hunter was safe at third, Davis was out at second). Great game on both sides. Sorry to lose, but loved every minute of it.

Apologies for this weak effort, but I'm just so Bob Davidson'd I don't have the wherewithal to blog my worries on Cecil tonight.

You mean your worries in a sudden loss of velocity like B.J. Ryan kind of way? I have those too.

I had a long reply on Davidson and Cecil that I accidentally closed. I know you`re all disappointed, but here`s the coles notes:
1) Callaspo measured his route to the ball to avoid Escobar, so Escobar never did interfere with him. Callaspo should have ran straight to the ball and Escobar would have gotten out of his way.
2) Cecil`s velocity is only down 1.5mph per fangraphs. I also think it might be due to him throwing a cutter this year. Having said that, the Speed v Horizontal Movement chart of Cecil last night over at Brooks Baseball isn`t pretty.
I shouldn`t write for Coles.

Can't believe it's the same guy who botched the triple play call in '92, too. Brutal.
Re: Cecil... if Jo-Jo and Litsch both pitch really well this week, could he be the one sent down upon Morrow's return to avoid exposing Reyes to waivers? The Jays seem really high on Jo-Jo for some reason; I wouldn't be totally shocked to see it happen (obviously just a temporary stint in AAA for Cecil to figure things out).
- April 10, 2011 at 11:52 AM
Jobbed. I'm re-listening to The Jays Talk to calm myself down.
- April 10, 2011 at 12:22 PM
Got up this morning only about 5% less furious over Davidson's complete incompetence, and decided that if he is somehow umpiring behind the plate at one of the games I go to this year, I would harass him as violently as one can without cursing or being completely obnoxious.
I then remember that some idiot ump had gone on an ejection rampage and actually thrown a FAN out of a game for heckling a player last year (I still can't figure out how that could be allowed unless the fan was cursing/etc.), but I decided it would be worth it to let this clown have it...
So I ended up on Davidson's Wikipedia page to see what other huge screw-ups he had and...guess who the fucking retard ump was who threw the fan out of the game last year?
If he somehow ends up in my vicinity, I'm still going after him
...it will be worth it
- April 10, 2011 at 1:11 PM
Jesus, cmon you guys, you act like it's the first bad call an ump has ever made. Maybe be pissed off with all the runners left in scoring position, or Cecil leaving the ball up in the zone all night.
Are we so entitled that we think every fucking call should go our way. I've watched every inning so far this year and I can count about 4 calls on the base paths that went the Blue Jays way that were clearly wrong when viewed in slow motion.

Yesterday we ran a link to a story in the liberal newspaper, The Washington Post, which broke the news that a study of abstinence-based sex education suggested that the program may actually be successful. And then today the paper prints a column by staff writer Sally Jenkins in its Sports section entitled, Tebow's Super Bowl Ad Isn't Intolerant; Its Critics Are. We couldn't agree more, WaPo. Who wouldda thunk we could say that two days in a row?
Here is the hard-to-believe evidence.

Specifically, in the "Common Lisp" forum, the "What are you doing in Common Lisp lately?" is tagged with a circular field of scrolling text, with a red star in it. () I've deduced that the star means "you've posted in this thread", but that thread is the only one I can see with the scrolling text icon. The URL of the image (topic_read_hot_mine.gif) seems to indicate "hotness" of the thread -- who designates that? Me or a forum owner?
Just curious.

NEW YORK — The government's star witness in the bribery trial of a former top aide to Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was behind bars Friday for violating his
Todd Howe, 57, was taken into custody for violating his bail conditions, but the development isn't expected to derail his continuing testimony in the trial of former Cuomo aide Joseph Percoco and three businessmen. Prosecutors did not comment.
His arrest was approved by a judge who wrote that the government notified him that the revocation of Howe's $100,000 bond was appropriate.
Sometimes, the government keeps
Howe has testified that he hoped to avoid prison by testifying truthfully,
Nicholas Biase, a spokesman for prosecutors, said no new charges were filed against Howe, who was arrested Thursday. He said late Friday that Howe was expected to resume testimony Monday morning.
Howe, shackled at the ankles, shuffled into court for a three-minute hearing Friday. A magistrate judge read him his rights, and a prosecutor said he had agreed to continued detention.
His hair seemed wind-blown, like he'd just stepped off a beach, and he was wearing a sweatshirt with a print of a Martha's Vineyard beach permit from 2014. Martha's Vineyard is a seaside resort town in Massachusetts that
During cross examination Thursday, Howe admitted he had not informed the government that he tried to improperly recover the cost of a $600 luxury Manhattan hotel room just weeks after signing a
He also admitted failing to say in a 2014 application for disability insurance that he had been convicted of fraud in 2010 for trying to dupe a bank into thinking he had deposited $45,000 when he had not.
The government has used Howe's testimony to prove Percoco was paid more than $300,000 in bribes in exchange for helping his co-defendants with state business.
Percoco's lawyer, Barry Bohrer, had promised jurors they would find Howe to be too disreputable to trust his testimony. He said Percoco acted legally and appropriately.
Howe's lawyer, Richard Morvillo, was asked after Friday's court appearance how his client was doing.
"I'm sure you can imagine," he said.
Howe has testified that he now lives in Idaho, where he works as a golf course groundskeeper, sometimes mowing grass and digging ditches.

books shmucks...
I've about 50 non DRM books I've purchased online...
...but I can't use them with google books 'cos you can't copy non google library content to the system.
Android users will be able to browse 3 million books on their phones, after Google Books launched in the UK yesterday. The app has been out in the States for a while but will be available to British Android users from today. Google Books promises a vast array of titles from "favorite bestsellers, up-and-coming authors and …
Did the person who wrote there is no customisation actually use the app? It has all the usual customisation ie. Font size, typeface, day/night, brightness and orientation, as well as linespace (first time I've seen that on a phone ebook app) and justification.
The price of books seems reasonable - £4.99 for Iain M Banks titles. Not sure if it was this that has pushed the proce down on Amazon, but Surface detail was more expensive as an eBook than paperback on Amazon a few months ago.
Its quite a clean, almost plain looking interface but what do you want from an ebook reader? We readers use our imagination - if you want beautiful visuals, WATCH A FILM!
I tried searching for one well known author and didn't get any of their books. Got a lot of books put in front of me from the same area but would have prefered a no match found.
Tried searching for e-books I have already bought. At least as expensive as Waterstones and W.H.Smith.
I've just downloaded "Pride and Prejudice" on my Android phone.
Opened the book.
The first line was...
"Elizabeth, as they drove along, watched for the first appearance of Pemberley Woods with some perturbation."
Eh?? - what about that "truth universally acknowledged" line?
Turns out that this is Volume III of the original three-volume book. No sign of Volume 1 or 2 anywhere....
I haven't looked for a while but this was always the problem with the scanned out of copyright books from Google - there was a lot of noise in amongst the signal. So if you wanted 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' for example, it was easy to find, but relatively hard to find all 6 volumes from the same edition.
It's a great idea, and ultimately it will be transform the world of literature - but we're not quite there yet.
I've been torn by these services a little. I own a Sony ebook reader that uses a Google Books compatible DRM format, however I am dead-set against DRM after buying a load of unreadable-now Mobipocket books in the past (plus I'd need to install some rubbish Adobe software to use it).
I understand that Google Books and Kindle ebooks sometimes don't have DRM but they don't seem too keen on letting me know which ones do and which ones don't. I think that will need to change before I'll spend any money on these services.
If you want modern books, you have to live with DRM.
You can choose DRM on EPUB, which means you can read your book on anything but a Kindle. Or you can choose DRM on MOBI and it means you can only buy your content from Amazon and read it on Amazon approved devices.
Me, I prefer EPUB, as whilst it's still got DRM, I can choose where I read it.
I installed it on my GS2 this morning, not realising that it was a new app.
I watched the video and saw Google making a big deal about how the books synchronise over all devices and figured it must be really old because hey, that's old technology and Kindle has been doing it for ages.
So I'm kind of surprised that this is new in the UK and that the only thing they can think to brag about is the syncing.
Google books is way more expensive than Amazon.
An example. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Paper edition on Amazon - £4.05. Kindle edition - £3.41, Google Books £6.85. Almost exactly twice the price!
Another - Dava Soble's A More Perfect Heaven. Amazon paper edition - £8.39, Kindle edition - £7.97, Google Books £13.79. (I do love the way publishers are clinging to the hardback pricing model here - they'll ship exactly the same file in 6 months for half the price).
Seems to be pretty across the board. Not sure what Google expects to achieve here. It's not like they have exclusivity on the Android platform. Kindle for Android offers much greater value for money. Come on Google, strike the same deals Amazon are obviously achieving.
I was going to award it to the writer of this article, for picking the 3 most negative comments to use in the article, but you have actually won it, by spending time to actually pick examples where Google is more expensive than Kindle.
I checked last nigtht, and most of the time, it's with 10-15p of each other. There seems to be equalish amounts of times when Google is more expensive than Amazon, that there are when Amazon are more expensive than Google.
That said, Google prices will eventually be better, because using EPUB they are in a competitive market. Anyone stupid enough to buy Kindle will be paying whatever Amazon want to charge.
The big 5 publishing houses all switched eBooks to the so called agency model when iBooks was launched. This means that Google, Amazon and Apple all sell at the price that the publisher tells them to - they don't have any freedom.
Google won't end up being cheaper than Amazon due to competition, but neither will Amazon be cheaper due to volume. They'll both stay around the same - and they both have cross platform readers, so there's no particular lock-in with either of them.
I seriously wouldn't take any notice of market reviews, plenty of them are written by idiots. Just the other week I saw that someone, on the market page for a restaurant reviewing app, had written a review for there local steak house on the app page (where you are of course meant to reviewing the app itself).

Linux is generally considered as a geek's operating system and I am completely agree with it. Linux is not only limited to work only. You can also enjoy a lot while working on it. There are many crazy commands which will bring a big smile on your face. Below we are going to discuss few out of them.
1. Oneko : This utility remembers me of the cat mouse game. Cat chases the mouse pointer regardless of its position. You have to download it from the repository by typing "sudo apt-get install oneko" (without quotes) in ubuntu .Then just launch it by typing oneko . You will see a cat following your mouse pointer. You can terminate this command by using the famous Ctrl-c.
2. Xpenguins: We all know about the relationship of the Linux with the penguin "Tux". By using this utility you will see penguins dancing around your desktop. This command is partially GUI based but can be invoked using the CLI. You can install it by using "sudo apt-get install xpenguins" and can invoke it simply typing xpenguins on your terminal. To terminate follow the same Ctrl-c rule.
3. Fortune : You can generate famous quotes using this. It uses the random function during the generation. You can find it in the "fortune-mod" package. For the installation of the package you need to type "sudo apt-get install fortune-mod" . Launch it by typing fortune . You can add it in your bashrc file so that everytime you log in you see a message .
4. Cowsay and Xcowsay : Want to say something to anyone using a cow as a medium?? If yes this utility fits the best. CLI version is cowsay and GUI version is xcowsay . You can find them in the cowsay and xcowsay package respectively. To invoke follow the syntax : cowsay text (CLI) and xcowsay text(GUI) . Example – Let's say "hello" through the cow.
5. sl (oops ls) : As we all know that the "ls" utility (used for listing of files) is used at a very high rate in Linux. But sometimes due to high speed typing we typed it "sl" and "ls". If you had "sl" utility installed you will see a train engine passing by in your command line warning you that you have misspelled the ls. Install sl by using "sudo apt-get install sl" and invoke it using sl.
There are lots of others crazy commands too. Google them and have fun!!!

Is this really Fox News? Or an April Fools joke?Thursday, April 8th, 2010
I couldn't believe my eyes when I read the following opinion piece by Liz Peek of Fox News, but perhaps on the heels of Karl Rove's 2010 Census PSA, the Republicans are finally doing the right thing…even if they are still highly critical of the process and making many unsubstantiated accusations about the White House's influence in this headcount:
Republicans Have It Wrong, Census Forms Need to Be Filled Out Early and Often!
By Liz Peek
- FOXNews.com
I recently filled out my Census form and sent it in. It took about ten minutes, as advertised; four or five to actually write in the required information, and another several minutes to talk myself out of cheating.
Glenn Beck and Representative Michele Bachmann have it entirely wrong. Rather than bristle at the Census' supposed invasion of privacy (you have to provide more info to join Costco, for heaven's sake) they should be encouraging Republicans to respond…over and over again.
Instead of correctly marking down that two people live at my address, I wanted to write in fourteen. Why this sudden urge to fib? I'm afraid that others – many others — will cheat, and that I will lose out unless I do so, too. The more people who respond from my neighborhood, the more federal monies will flow in our direction. Over $400 billion in government funds is at stake. More important is that the Census totals determine how many Representatives your state sends to Congress. That means if you and the people who live next door are undercounted, you will also be underrepresented. That's just plain stupid.
Why am I worried about widespread fraud? The 2010 Census is unusual in that the Obama administration has patched together a veritable army of people intent on increasing the count of those minorities historically considered to be "undercounted." More astonishing, the Census Bureau was awarded an extra one billion dollars in Stimulus funds expressly to "hire additional personnel for partners and outreach efforts to minority communities and hard-to-reach populations." One billion dollars! That's a lot of outreach.
Not only will hundreds of thousands of Census workers fan out in coming weeks to press for higher response rates. Assisting them will be some 30,000 community organizations – such as the SEIU — resembling the coalition that helped elect President Obama. These "partners" of the Census Bureau will be mining Hispanic communities, in particular, where there is typically a high number of illegal aliens. These folks understandably shy from any contact with the U.S. government, for fear that filling out forms – any forms – might lead to their deportation. Those who advocate for illegals estimate that more than one million Hispanics were undercounted in the last Census, costing that community millions in support services.
While that is a reasonable purpose, it also invites fiddling with the numbers. Consider that such minority neighborhoods will almost certainly vote Democratic. The higher the numbers counted, the larger the number of Democrats in the House. That's simple math.

Well! What did you do yesterday?
You know you're wondering how it went, don't deny it. So here's a recap of the day. Aaand…go!
The morning was a little more adrenaline-packed than I had expected, as the traffic was bad and our driver had to perform some insane and possible illegal maneuvers to get us to the studio. (In retrospect we should have taken the subway, but it's hard to say no when someone offers to "send a car for you." It sounded so classy!) Scott kept cramming Xanax into my mouth as I hyperventilated and the driver was all, "Once I drove a high-powered executive when the traffic was this bad, and we had to exit to the nearest heliport," and "Once I was driving Calvin Klein, and he said, 'I cannot sit in this traffic; where is the nearest heliport?'" So I shrieked, "I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO A NEARBY HELIPORT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU ARE GETTING AT," and he shrugged. Because it was exactly what he was getting at. He wished he could dump us at a heliport so that a chopper would take us and he could listen to his news radio in peace.
But as it was, I am too poor to commandeer a helicopter at will, and he was stuck with the two of us--me whimpering, Scott alternately soothing me and sending out Twitters because he was trying to drive me insane--until we reached Rockefeller Center. And we were so grateful that he got us there that Scott kept handing him twenties while I stuck my tongue in his ear.
When we arrived we found out that the segment had been moved up twenty minutes, which I am glad I didn't know beforehand because I would have thrown up all over that lovely car. I had ten minutes to get dressed and get my makeup and hair done. The stylists actually did the makeup and hair at the same time; I don't know how they did it, but they did. If I tried to put on my own lipstick while my hair was being tugged upward to the crazy heights it reached, I would have ended up with pink lines across the bottom half of my face. That's why they're professionals. I could see Tori behind me calling out to Dean, and I realized I have no idea what Dean looks like, he could have been the guy doing my hair, which would have explained a lot. (Enough about the hair, Alice.) (It's just…look. The hair was a little enthusiastic for my taste, is all. But I know, I know—it's daytime TV and they have their mysterious daytime-TV ways. Daytime TV viewers like HAIR! instead of just my normal lowercase style. And so it was.)
A lovely wardrobe lady helped me into my mysteriously high-tech blouse, which had Slots and Tabs and I was sure I was going to mess it up and WHOOPSIE EVERYONE CAN SEE MY BRA! (Which is why I also bought a new bra, by the way.) (It's a lovely bra. You should have seen it.) Once properly dressed, I met up with Laura and Melissa and I made more jokes about all the Xanax I was taking, HAHAHAHA EVERYONE LAUGH AT ME, and they smiled sadly and one of them might have called Poison Control.
(Okay. I took nothing more than some useless homeopathic calming agent, because even though I have Xanax in my possession I'm too scared to take it, and I definitely wouldn't take it for the first time shortly before appearing on live television. I probably would have fallen off that high stool. Or laughed weirdly and heartily at Kathie Lee and Tori's mysterious in-jokes. Oh, wait, I did do that.)
Then we were whisked up to the set, which was not the other set that Kathie Lee and Tori were already on although it sure lookedthe same; there are apparently billions of almost-identical sets within the studio, so that the hosts are always slightly lost and confused as to their whereabouts, and then they won't try and escape. So we sat on our high stools and I was feeling my crunchy hair and thinking what have they done to me when Kathie Lee and Tori glided in and Kathie screamed "THE MOMMYBLOGGERS AAAAIIIIEE" and we all screamed back "AIIIIEEEE!" and then we realized she was cheering and not screaming. That was embarrassing. We shook hands with the two glorious orange creatures before us—seriously, they have so much makeup on them, you can't even tell they're human, if that's what they are, and I'm reasonably sure they might be—and then they were placed upon their seats and energy-boosting nutritional pellets were inserted under their tongues, and we began.
People have commented that the segment seemed…confused, and why didn't Melissa say anything? Here's the thing. We were prepped for many questions, none of which were asked. There were note cards. Kathie Lee and Tori, they had the note cards. In their hands. But they never looked at the note cards. I realized quickly that they were not ever going to look at the note cards, and it was every woman for herself, so I jumped in whenever I could. If they had decided to talk about product reviews, or the relationships between bloggers and corporate entities, Melissa would have been able to jump in and I would have sat there weeping softly into my shirtsleeves. The—questions, I guess you'd all them? Observations? Just happened to veer toward topics I could contribute to, and so I did, and then it was over and everyone looked a little surprised.
We shook hands with Kathie Lee and Tori, and took pictures, and our hosts were placed back in their boxes and wheeled out and everyone else disappeared as well. And we were left to figure out where the exit was. Which we did, eventually, using our Mommyblogging Powers.
So that was that! I managed to talk without using any profanities and my nipples were not even slightly visible, so I couldn't be more pleased. My definition of success in these kinds of appearances has sunk lower and lower, as you can see. And if I ever appear on the Today Show again, I'm going to provide a helpful chart for Kathie Lee explaining where the power button is on most brand-name computers and how you "push" it, and I just bet she'll learn how to turn hers on! She will, you guys. Oh, I can dream, can't I?

Last week, the Dow Jones Transportation Average closed at a record level, exciting a lot of Dow Theory enthusiasts who waited for the confirmation from the Dow Industrials. Finally, they got it.
The theory, developed by Charles Dow in 1884, states that when both the industrials and transportation stocks rally to close at record levels in tandem (the modern strategist interprets it as within a few days), it signals long-lasting market gains — i.e. the 'buy signal'.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average had struggled to scale a new high until Wednesday, when it finally closed at a record level.
Nicholas Colas, chief market strategist at ConvergEx Group, a global brokerage company based in New York, says that the Dow Theory has a long historical track record of predicting bull markets.
\"It would be nice if the transports and industrials moved together, but given current volatility, the theory still holds even if they hit new highs within days.\"
He also points out that within the transportation index it is the airlines that have rallied the most. Delta Air Lines is up 35%, while Southwest Airlines is up 29% since the start of the year. The Dow Transportation index is up more than 4%, compared to a 1.9% gain in the S&P 500.
Airlines companies\' earnings have long been the most volatile, says Colas. But the industry has changed after consolidations and it looks like their profits are turning out to be a lot more sustainable, given the improving economy.
\"When investors buy airlines and other transport companies, it indicates a lot of confidence in the economy,\" he said.

Holiday Fun
Smashing Pumpkins Drop
It's time throw a few pumpkins! Avoid the Black Friday shopping frenzy and visit Cradle of Aviation Museum for its annual pumpkin drop. The kids can drop pumpkins from the museum's upper floor balcony and watch as gravity takes over and the pumpkins become a pile of pulp (or mush) three floors below. It's a great way to demonstrate the effects of gravity or simply use it as an opportunity to let out a little frustration. Either way it's a lot of fun for the whole family. You can bring your own pumpkin or toss one of the museum's pumpkins. After the drop, explore the museum's eight galleries, which take you through on a trip through over 100 years of air and space history, from kites and balloons to man's first steps on the moon.
Friday, Nov. 23, smashing pumpkin drop, 12-3 p.m. Cradle of Aviation Museum, Museum Row, Garden City. (516) 572-4111 or www.cradleofaviation.org.

Brooklyn's Steve Solomon, the star and creator of "My Mother's Italian, My Father's Jewish & I'm in Therapy," brings his comic touch to the season in his new one-man show to ring in the holidays. When everyone arrives home to celebrate the holidays, Steve is thrown together with all his dysfunctional family members in a riotous celebration of the holiday season. The uproarious show examines this time of peace, joy, and remembering why you left home in the first place.
Saturday, Nov. 24, 8 p.m.; Sunday, Nov. 25, 3 p.m. $39 and $49. Madison Theatre, Molloy College, 1000 Hempstead Ave., Rockville Centre. (516) 678-5000 ext. 7715 or www.madisontheatreny.org.

Hailing from C.I.D. narcotics, Sgt. Carver learned a lot of lessons and took advantage of many second chances before he became an effective police sergeant. In the past, he was - along with his running buddy Herc - not at all above some petty corruption and cutting a few ethical corners here and there. During the initial Barksdale probe, Carver provided Burrell with details on the progress of the case behind the back of his lieutenant and co-workers, thereby assuring his own promotion to sergeant. Eventually, Daniels realized that Carver was the mole in the unit and chastised Carver even as the case came to a close. Reassigned to the Southeastern District as a sector sergeant, Carver later finds his way back to Daniels when the port investigation gears up and is offered manpower from the district. Daniels offers Carver the opportunity to redeem himself, but refuses to recognize his new rank, and Carver finishes that probe with his ego deeply bruised. Along with Herc, he escapes to the Western District, where he takes over the street-level drug enforcement unit and goes back to the head-banging, stat-driven arrests with which he is comfortable.
Colvin's drug legalization initiative proves to be an education for Carver, however, and as he begins to see the drug war and policing in a different light, he begins to become real police. His improved ethic eventually earned him the job of acting shift lieutenant in the Western - and a new minefield to navigate as he learns to deal with the officers under his command.

The Winter X Games will cancel a snowmobile freestyle demonstration at the next stop in Tignes, France, next month as organizers review safety protocols in the wake of Caleb Moore's death.
Moore died last month from injuries he sustained when his 450-pound sled rolled over him after a backflip gone wrong in Aspen. The tragedy left everyone involved — snowmobilers, the people who issue the permits for the event and the programmers at ESPN, which sanctions and televises the X Games — re-examining the niche sport.
In a statement released Tuesday, X Games officials said: "Our review of snowmobile freestyle continues."
The X Games stop in Tignes will be March 20-22 and feature some of the top freeskiers and snowboarders in the world.

Viktor Fasth wins again as Anaheim Ducks beat Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 in shootoutNHL.com @NHLdotcom
CHICAGO - Viktor Fasth made two stops in the shootout to remain perfect in six starts and the Anaheim Ducks beat the Chicago Blackhawks 3-2 on Tuesday night in a matchup of the top two teams in the Western Conference.
After Jonathan Toews converted the first shootout attempt for Chicago, Fasth stopped Patrick Kane's backhander and denied Brandon Saad on the right side of the goal to become the first goalie to win his first six NHL starts since Dan Ellis with Dallas and Nashville from Feb. 18, 2004, to Nov. 29, 2007.
Nick Bonino and Corey Perry scored in the tiebreaker for Anaheim, which improved to 3-1 on its season-high, six-game road trip. Ryan Getzlaf and Andrew Cogliano scored in regulation.
Brandon Saad and Nick Leddy had the goals for Chicago, which remained the only NHL team without a regulation loss. Corey Crawford made 29 saves in the first home game for the Blackhawks in two weeks.
Chicago was in front 2-1 before Cogliano sent a deflected shot into the left side of the net with 2:40 left in the third after he had his helmet knocked off. It was the second goal in the last two games for Cogliano, and his second on the year.
The Blackhawks were on the power play for almost four minutes in overtime but couldn't get the winning goal. Fasth made a nice stop on Patrick Sharp's slap shot and a glove save on Marian Hossa to send it to the shootout.
Getzlaf put the Ducks in front with a power-play goal in the second, but the momentum shifted after Chicago forward Bryan Bickell levelled Getzlaf midway through the period. Brad Staubitz immediately jumped on Bickell to defend his teammate. He got a few punches in before Bickell took him to the ice, and the Blackhawks quickly jumped on Fasth for a pair of goals in their first home game since a 2-1 victory over Detroit on Jan. 27.
With Staubitz in the box serving an instigating penalty, Leddy sent a slap shot off the right post and into the goal for his second of the season at 10:17.
Saad then came down and sent a leaping wrister toward Fasth as he was going to the ice. The puck went off Fasth's left shoulder and started trickling down his back. Luca Sbisa went to the ice to try to stop it from crossing the line as players both teams flocked into the goalmouth.
After a lengthy replay review, the officials announced the puck had crossed the line before the goal was knocked off its posts. As the Blackhawks celebrated Saad's second of the year, Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau listened to an explanation from the referees.
It looked as if that goal would be the difference until Cogliano tied it up in the third. He also scored in Anaheim's 6-5 shootout win at St. Louis on Saturday.
NOTES: F Daniel Carcillo skated again Tuesday morning, and coach Joel Quenneville said he might able to practice with the Blackhawks this week. Carcillo hasn't played since he injured his right knee in the season opener against the Kings ... Ducks G Jonas Hiller also skated Tuesday and remains day to day with a lower-body injury. ... Chicago won three of four meetings with Anaheim last season, including both games at home.

From WorldNetDaily:
WASHINGTON – Sen. Larry Craig, R-Idaho, didn't have to plead guilty to sex charges stemming from a men's room encounter with an undercover cop in Minnesota.
All he had to do was hand the police officer a copy of the U.S. Constitution – the document the senator swore to uphold upon first taking office in Congress 27 years earlier.
There is little ambiguity in Article 1: Section 6, which clearly states no member of Congress can be arrested while traveling to or from official session.
Article 1 of the U.S. Constitution says no member of Congress can be arrested while traveling to or from official session except for treason, felony and breach of the peace
Craig was arrested just after 12 noon June 11. He cast a vote on a high-profile cloture motion on the Senate floor at 5:55 p.m. that same day.
That's so cool. I mean, all partisan snark aside, what an obscure and archaic bit of law -- not just any law, but the highest law of the land -- to defend such a petty and low offense. How often does that happen?
And from the partisan snark perspective, one can't but help enjoy the spectacle drag on a bit longer.

It'll take more than a fainting spell to stop Justin Bieber! The 19-year-old pop star took the stage for his final concert in London on Friday, March 8, despite still feeling "a little short of breath."
"U just gotta smile sometimes," the "Boyfriend" singer wrote on Twitter Friday, pointing out that he's trying to stay positive amid his dramatic week across the pond.
"So while I have seen some crazy stuff it is all smiles," he continued. "Im gonna get some rest and keep doing what i love. Entertain all of u. thanks."
And, based on his reaction to his final show shortly after his performance, the singer was amply rewarded for his perseverance.
"Still a little short of breathe tonight but was an incredible show," he wrote. "London fans go hard! 4 SOLD OUT O2 shows in a row!! #BLESSED."
Bieber gave his fans quite a scare during his concert on Thursday, March 7, after the singer fainted midway through the show and had to leave the stage for 20 minutes.
"He left the stage for 20 minutes, then came back and finished the show," his rep told Us Weekly at the time. "He is now on his way to a doctor to get checked out and see what is wrong."
Though a reason for the singer's sudden collapse has not yet been revealed, Bieber has already been back up and running on social media to let his fans know that he'll be just fine, posting a shirtless photo on Thursday.
"Getting better," he wrote after the incident. "Thanks for everyone for pulling me thru tonight. best fans in the world. figuring out what happened. thanks for the love."

Guidelines for a Pleasant Visit
A clever person once thought of an all-encompassing rule for visits to any public place: TAKE ONLY PICTURES AND LEAVE ONLY YOUR FOOTPRINTS. For those desiring more specific guidelines, we ask that the following rules be respected so that others may have an enjoyable and educational visit.
- WALK ONLY ON TRAILS. All other areas (except in the picnic area) are nature preserves or areas where experiments might be in progress. Please do not walk down the intermittent creek channels; climb on rocks or trees, or swim in the lake.
- TRAILS ARE ONLY FOR WALKING. Please do not run or ride bicycles. Excessive noise is distressing to visitors who are bird watching.
- CHILDREN SHOULD WALK WITH ADULTS. Students below college age are ordinarily not permitted on the trails without adult supervision. Children should always walk beside adults because youngsters cannot be controlled properly when ahead of or behind parents.
- WEAPONS AND ATHLETIC SPORTS AND GAMES ARE PROHIBITED. Prohibited weapons include guns, B-B guns, bows and arrows, knives, slingshots.
- NOTHING SHOULD BE REMOVED OR DISTURBED WITHOUT PERMISSION. This includes seeds, fruits, pods, flowers, pine cones, sticks, rocks, feathers, nests, insects, lizards, or any other items. Do not deface living trees in any way.
- PETS ARE PERMITTED IF THEY ARE KEPT LEASHED on leashes under 6 feet long. No pets allowed in buildings, Ramadas, Ayer Lake, or streams. Be prepared to clean up after pets.

Bombs Kill 60 In Holy Cities
The attacks illustrate how difficult it will be to hold elections scheduled for January 30, reports CBS News Correspondent Cami McCormick.
The bombings came just over an hour apart — first a suicide blast that ripped through minibuses at the entrance of the main bus station in the city of Karbala, then a car bomb in a central square of Najaf crowded with people watching a funeral procession attended by the city police chief and provincial governor.
The violence was the latest in an insurgent campaign to disrupt the crucial Jan. 30 elections, the first national polls since the fall of Saddam Hussein — and they were the latest attacks to target Shiite Muslims, the majority community in Iraq and the most likely to dominate the vote.
The car bomb in Najaf detonated in central Maidan Square where a large crowd of people had gathered for the funeral procession of a tribal sheik — about 100 yards from where Gov. Adnan al-Zurufi and police chief Ghalib al-Jazaari were standing.
Youssef Munim, head of the statistics department at Najaf's al-Hakim Hospital, said 47 people were killed by the explosion and 69 were wounded.
The nearby al-Zahraa Hospital received another two people killed by the bombing, plus 21 suffering from various injuries, according to nurse Mohanad Abdul Redha.
"A car bomb exploded near us," al-Zurufi said. "I saw about 10 people killed."
Al-Jazaari believed he and al-Zurufi were the targets of the attack, in which he said three explosives went off at about 2:45 p.m. Both men were unhurt. "As I and the governor were waiting for the funeral processions three explosions occurred," al-Jazaari said. "We were targeted." It was not immediately clear what the other explosions were from.
Residents were pulling bodies of the dead from damaged shops at the square, which is about 400 yards from the Imam Ali Shrine, the holiest Shiite site in Iraq.
The bombing in Karbala, about 45 miles northwest of Najaf, destroyed about 10 passenger minibuses and set fire to five cars outside the crowded bus station. Firefighters tried to put out the blazes as ambulances ferried burned and bleeding casualties to the nearby al-Hussein hospital.
Ali al-Ardawi, assistant for the hospital's director, said 13 people were killed in the attack and 30 injured.
It was the second bombing in Karbala in a week. On Wednesday, a bomb went off at the city's gold-domed Imam Hussein Shrine, killing eight people and wounding 40 in an apparent attempt to kill a top aide to Iraq's most powerful Shiite cleric, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.
The shrine, located near the bus station, was hit by a March 2 suicide bombing that killed 85 people and wounded 100. The holy sites in Najaf and Karbala, south of Baghdad, house the tombs of Shia Islam's most revered saints.
In Baghdad, two mortar rounds struck a hardline Sunni Muslim mosque, wounding four security guards, according to a religious leader associated with the mosque.
The 7 a.m. attack shattered large windows in the Um al-Tuboul mosque, sending up plumes of smoke.
Insurgents on Sunday also carried out a new attack on election officials, with a daylight assault on Baghdad's central Haifa Street, the scene of repeated clashes between security forces and insurgents.
About 30 militants hurling hand grenades and firing machine guns attacked a car carrying five people employed by the commission's Baghdad office and tried "to drag them out," said Adel al-Lami, a member of the Independent Electoral Commission of Iraq.
Three employees, including a security guard, were killed, while two escaped unhurt, he said.
A police official said four people were killed, adding that the ferocity of the clashes prevented police from nearing the area.
Witnesses said the attackers later set fire to the vehicle and wandered the street brandishing their weapons. U.S. and Iraqi National Guard forces cordoned off the area after the attacks, they said. A U.S. military spokesman had no immediate details.
Also, insurgents claiming to represent three Iraqi militant groups issued a videotape showing what they said were 10 abducted Iraqis who had been working for an American security and reconstruction company.
Masked insurgents in the video said they represent the Mujahedeen Army, the Black Banner Brigade and the Mutassim Bellah Brigade, all previously unknown groups. Nine blindfolded hostages could be seen lined up against a stone wall and a 10th was lying in a bed, apparently wounded.
The militants said they would kill the hostages if the company, Sandi Group, does not leave the country. They also threatened more attacks on its Iraqi operations.
Chad Knauss, an American and deputy chief operations officer of Sandi Group in Iraq, declined to comment on the claims. The company, based in Washington, employs 7,000 in Iraq.
Meanwhile, Iraqi police said they detained 45 men who illegally entered from neighboring Iran. The men were detained Saturday at Mandali, a border town 60 miles east of Baghdad. They had no identity documents but claimed to be Muslim pilgrims from Iran, Afghanistan or Bangladesh.
Also Sunday, a diplomat said two Egyptians employed by the Egyptian-owned mobile phone company Iraqna who were detained earlier this week by Iraqi and U.S. troops were released.
When asked why the men were seized from their Baghdad home on Wednesday, Farouk Riyadh Mabrouk, head of the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Baghdad, said only, "It was a big misunderstanding." U.S. and Iraqi authorities have not commented on why the men were detained.

As many of you already know, Legacy Family Tree is very good software for keeping track of your precious family files. I use Legacy exclusively and love their product. I've tried almost all the genealogy products on the market, mostly because I do a comparison lecture on them but Legacy is definitely my favorite and the one I use full time and you can find a free trial of Legacy here and can use it as long as you wish. The surprise is: did you know that Legacy Family Tree is now offering some really good and informative webinars too?
Legacy very recently in 2010 began to offer several free webinars a month which are hosted by Go To Meeting and the best part is that they are totally FREE! Having attended a few of these now, I have to rate them as an A plus offering. I've tried some of the webinars which have been offered by some of the genealogy competitors and find these by Legacy to be among the best and in fact presented in a much better format than some others with bigger names! I have yet to have a failed start up with their programming and never a glitch during the presentations which I have attended. Their classes have been given by a variety of well known genealogists and the best part is that their presenters know how to speak! Today was another very nice instructional class featuring Thomas MacEntee, on "Google for Genealogists". Thomas is a very knowledgeable presenter and Geoff Rasmussen representing Legacy did the moderation. Most of us read and try to learn new research tips and methods every day and each new piece of knowledge helps us along the road on our family trails. Today's lecture was full of great new tips for using many of Googles' products that are of benefit to the family genealogist. I for one can't wait to try out some features of Google Docs which Thomas featured (being a Word person, I never realized some of the great uses and templates within Google Docs). He also highlighted using Google Groups to post queries, I never would have thought of that either!
In short, be sure to check out the classes that are offered by Legacy on their website at Legacy Family Tree. You can sign up on their site to attend the webinar classes in person or you can view them after the presentation on the Legacy website where they are usually listed for viewing for 2-4 weeks after the live presentation. Today they announced that some of the webinars will now become available to purchase on CD for your home use also. The cost is quite reasonable. During the live webinar, guests have the opportunity to ask questions or submit questions live and they have gift drawings after the program for those in attendance. Some of the future classes include two different ones on the use of "New Family Search"; and "Newspapers, Critical Resource to Complete Your Family Tree"; and Chasing Women-Finding Your Female Ancestors" with Leland Meitzler. The live classes are limited so be sure to check them out and sign up early. Remember they are FREE so there is no excuse for not exercising your brains and learning something new!

Lately, I've been on a greens kick. After discovering I could puree spinach and kale into my smoothies without affecting the taste, I started experimenting with hidden, pureed greens in EVERYTHING. And you know what? It totally works.
We're going through at least TWO giant bags of fresh greens per week at my house without my kids knowing they've eaten even a single bite of the stuff! In fact, Jamie will swear up and down he hates spinach and kale, when in fact, he eats it daily without knowing.
Meanwhile, not a single Ritter has gotten sick this entire winter. Coincidence? You decide.
The trick, I'm learning, is to sneak pureed Superfoods into recipes that will mask the green tint. Thus, cocoa powder is my new best friend.
When I mentioned experimenting with these cocoa-banana muffins on Facebook last weekend, one of my girlfriends read it and realized she had all the ingredients in her kitchen already and gave it a whirl as well. Within an hour or so, she'd hopped back on Facebook with a winning review of them. I decided that meant I should post the recipe here, even though I hadn't planned to or taken instructional photos. These are SUPER easy to make, and bake quickly. Your kids will be amazed that you're letting them eat so many, but with low sugar/fat and rich in vitamins and fiber, you'll be smiling every time you see them cram another muffin into their pie holes.
Also, I calculated my muffins to be around 2 Weight Watchers points each (old WW points), so you can eat them all day if you want!
Here's what you need:
- 2 overripe (brownish) bananas
- 2 cups whole wheat flour (regular will work, too)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1 (6-oz) container fat free fruit yogurt (I used Yoplait cherry lite)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup cocoa powder
- about 4 loose cups of fresh spinach or kale leaves (I used both)
- 1 egg (or equivalent egg substitute, which I used)
- handful of miniature chocolate chips (which go way further than regular-sized)
Here's what you do:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees and place 18 cupcake liners in muffin tins.
In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour with baking powder and cinnamon; set aside.
In your blender, layer the following from the bottom up: 1.) two bananas, peeled and broken into large chunks, 2.) the spinach or kale, crammed down as far as you can, 3.) yogurt, 4.) vanilla extract, 5.) egg or egg substitute.
Puree the mixture. You may have to stop the blender once or twice to push the spinach down closer to the blade, but I assure you it will all puree into a smooth, thick green liquid with no discernible leaf bits once it's all worked in.
Pour this mixture into the dry flour mixture and stir until evenly distributed. Add the cocoa powder and miniature chocolate chips; stir just until mixed.
Spoon the batter into muffin liners, making each about 1/2 full to get 18 muffins.
Bake about 12 minutes, or until tops are firm but inside is still soft. Pull from oven and cool in pans for 10 minutes. Transfer to airtight containers (I use large ziploc bags) as soon as they are cool enough. This will help them develop that wonderful stick-muffin-top over an hour or two. And we love sticky muffin tops.
These would probably freeze beautifully if individually wrapped, but my kids and I couldn't keep our mitts out of them long enough to find out. They are good fresh from the oven, but oh-so-much better after they've been in the airtight container for a few hours. The moisture from the soft-cooked centers distributes evenly through the whole muffin and they're just so moist and fudgy. Mm-mmm!

I'm really not here to drag Kornheiser through the mud. Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong has already taken care of business. He called out the ESPN host, extracting a rather comprehensive mea culpa for a rant last week in which Korneiser went off on cyclists and suggested motorists "run them down." As a fulltime commuter cyclist — I haven't driven a car since last June, and rely upon bicycles for transportation — I found Kornheiser's comments to be repugnant.
Here in the United States, bicyclists and motorists are still learning how to share the road. It's an awkward and sometimes tense state of affairs. The last thing we need is a broadcaster giving some unstable motorist justification for aggressive behavior when they pass a bike during rush hour..."
What we can learn from a blowhard
But I also found Korneiser's rant instructive, because it gives us some insight into the unreasonable motorist rage we cyclists sometimes encounter on the road. Washcycle, a DC-based bicycle advocacy group, has prepared a rough transcript of Kornheiser's remarks. Here are his basic complaints:
* Cars are losing lanes to cyclists in congested areas
* Bicycles have no legitimate place on the road
* Cyclists ride "three or four abreast"
* Cyclists look stupid in their bike clothing
* Cyclists are poseurs
* Cyclists deliberately impede traffic
* Cyclists are deliberately rude to motorists"

Those hooks are so cute! Love the board and the stockings too. I'll have to get out to World Market and see if any are left.
Very sweet bird :)
I just saw the pendant light you made for the tree house. ADORABLE! I have almost the same thing in my living room. EXACT same bulb...I love those vintage bulbs. Mine is on a dimmer and is so pretty when it's just barely on.

Hello friend! I'm getting all caught up after being gone last week and have so enjoyed reading your last few posts. :-) The stocking hooks are so fantastic and that deer head is incredible! Loved seeing your beautiful, serene bathroom too and it is so fun to see more of your lovely home. Thanks for your sweet comments while we were gone!

Found this post of yours while I was searching for more "stocking board" inspirations on Google. What darling hooks! Those plus the white-washed, weathered board is perfect together! I too echo the remark of leaving it out all year! The white on white makes it chic & current enough. There's nothing cliche "Christmas" about it to warrant storing it most of the year only to enjoy it for a month & a half. Hope you kept it out! Thanks for the beauty. I'm going to have to pin this for the next time I make a board. Thanks again!

Domus Academy School of Design at NSAD is pleased to announce the addition of the Bachelor of Arts in Product Design program to its suite of global design programs. The program, which is open to enrollment for the 2014–2015 school year, provides students with an integrated design study experience through interdisciplinary education opportunities, an emphasis on international design perspectives, and hands-on projects developed in conjunction with leading design practitioners and companies. A Dec. 12 event at NSAD featuring innovative products will formally mark the launch of the product design program, which has been developed in collaboration with the famed Domus Academy in Milan, Italy, named one of the "World's Best Design Schools" by Businessweek.
The Domus Academy School of Design at NSAD is uniquely positioned to offer students a world-class educational experience through NSAD's interdisciplinary offerings in digital design and architecture, as well as through collaborations with Domus Academy that leverage proven Italian design approaches. The Domus Academy product design master's program has been named among the world's top 30 design schools by Frame Publishers, whose flagship publication, Frame, is a global reference for designers and interior architects.
"There is a growing need for product designers who bring global perspectives and an interdisciplinary approach to designing unique and relevant user experiences," said Ezequiel Farca, an award-winning Mexican designer whose global firm handles architecture, interior and product design projects. "The product design program offered through the Domus Academy School of Design at NSAD addresses this need by providing students with an integrated, world-class education that prepares them to be leaders in their field."
The Domus Academy School of Design at NSAD, which includes the product design program and an interior design program, brings to San Diego the quality and innovation of Domus Academy. To further emphasize the Italian design approach and Domus tradition, NSAD's interior design and product design programs incorporate a study abroad opportunity at Domus Academy in Milan, at no additional tuition cost. In addition, the Domus Academy School of Design at NSAD has been named an example of the Future of Design Education: Teaching Innovation by Interior Design magazine, for "preparing interior design students for 21st century demands."
"We are excited to add the product design program to our growing interdisciplinary offerings as we contribute to making San Diego a center of global design innovation," said Domus Academy School of Design at NSAD Director Elena Pacenti. "Italy has become the epicenter of design-driven brands and culture, developing a products industry that exports design all over the world. We challenge our students to apply this foundation to projects here in San Diego and anywhere in the world."
An event planned for Dec. 12 – "Innovation by Design" – will introduce the Bachelor of Arts in Product Design program to the community by featuring the work of product designers and introducing program instructors and advisory board members. The product design program incorporates an updated and comprehensive definition of product that includes complex and interactive objects as well as product-service systems and experiences. It emphasizes a humanistic approach to design, sensitive to sustainable and socially responsible development, and provides students with not only the tools for "how to do" but the reasons "why to do." Career paths and employment for graduates of product and industrial design programs demonstrate a growing need for individuals trained in these fields. Product/Industrial designers held about 40,800 jobs in 2010, and employment of industrial designers is expected to increase by 10% by 2020, according to U.S. Department of Labor statistics.
The product and interior design programs build on NSAD's strong tradition in architecture programming and provide students with even greater interdisciplinary opportunities in design disciplines. They complement the school's newer programs in construction management, which offers an online master's program, and digital media arts, which is also enhancing its educational offerings through collaborations with Media Design School in New Zealand.

Folic acid is very sensitive and is easily destroyed in a variety of ways, such as by light, heat, any type of cooking, or an acid pH below 4; it can even be lost from foods when they are stored at room temperature for long periods. The potency of this B vitamin is diminished in most food processing and food preparation.
When folic acid is consumed, it is actively transported into the blood from the gastrointestinal tract, where it acts as a coenzyme for a multitude of functions and often is converted to its active form, tetrahydrofolic acid (THFA), in the presence of the niacin coenzyme (NADPH) and vitamin C. In the body, folic acid is found mainly as methyl folate, and vitamin B12 is needed to convert it back to the active THFA. Extra folic acid is stored in the liver, enough for six to nine months of vitamin for body use before deficiency symptoms might develop.
Folic acid deficiency, however, may still be one of the most common vitamin deficiencies. It is more likely to be a problem in the elderly, in alcoholics, in psychiatric patients, in epileptics, in women on birth control pills, and with drug therapy such as the sulfa antibiotics and tetracyclines that deplete folic acid-producing bacteria in the colon. Pregnancy is a time for concern about sufficient folic acid intake (the RDA doubles during pregnancy). Also, those eating the standard American diet that is high in fats, meats, white flour, white sugar, and desserts may develop folic acid deficiency. Eating some fresh or lightly cooked vegetables daily will allow us to maintain normal folate levels.
Folic acid was discovered in 1931 as a "cure" for the anemia of pregnancy. Eating extra yeast also seemed to relieve the symptoms of pernicious anemia, but the neurological symptoms of this disease either were not resolved or appeared later on, confirming some doctors' feelings that there were two different problems involved. In 1945, folic acid was isolated from spinach; we now know that B12 and folic acid produce two very similar deficiency problems. B12 deficiency may lead to progressive and irreversible neurological damage, whereas a lack of folic acid will not, but taking a lot of folic acid may cover up the B12 anemia and other symptoms until it is too late for effective treatment with vitamin B12. Therefore, vitamin tablets of folic acid with over 400 mcg. have been taken off the market and are available by prescription only. If megaloblastic (enlarged red blood cells) anemia occurs, both folic acid and vitamin B12 levels should be checked to assure proper treatment and follow-up.
Sources: The best source of folic acid is foliage, the green leafy vegetables. These include spinach, kale, beet greens and even beets, chard, asparagus, broccoli, sources are liver and kidney and brewer's yeast. Starchy vegetables containing some folacin are corn, lima beans, green peas, sweet potatoes, artichokes, okra, and parsnips. Bean sprouts, such as lentil, mung, and soy, are particularly good, as are wheat germ or flakes and soy flour. Whole wheat bread, other natural, whole grain baked goods, and milk also have some folic acid. And many fruits have folic acid, such as oranges, cantaloupe, pineapple, banana, and many berries, including loganberries, boysenberries, and strawberries.

This insect house is intended for solitary bees such as the Mason Bee and other solitary insects. For the first time, it is now possible to study the previously hidden life and development of our solitary bees by lifting out the front panel with its transparent nesting tubes. It is possible to watch the cycle from egg-laying to development of the larvae, right up until the time the insect leaves the brood chamber the next season. Note that it is essential to properly replace the front panel after each inspection to keep the insects in darkness.
We strongly recommend sunny places for this box.
Material: Box: wood-concrete with weatherproof wooden front panel.
Interior: transparent nesting tubes of different diameters.
External dimensions: height 33 x width 21 x depth 15 cm.
Weight: approx. 9.2 kg.
Transparent tubes can be obtained separately as replacements.

Dan's Pitching Tool
In Dan Dempsey's hands
this small, grey tool
helped to shape Croydon.
Dan cut kerbs and paving stones
with it.
He worked on Croydon underpass
in 1964
and on Croydon flyover
in 1969.

Dan describes
how Croydon flyover was built:
"We worked on the flyover
for about 12 to 18 months.
Now they have machines,
but then it was all manual work.
I used to cut the kerbs by hand
with a pitching tool.
You could take the skin off your hand
if you weren't careful.
It was good money,
but it was bloody hard work."
Building Croydon's roads
As more people bought cars,
Croydon's streets
were choked with traffic.
Croydon Council
transformed the town centre
so that it could cope.
Wellesley Road was widened to 6 lanes
with an underpass
at the George Street crossroads.
A flyover took traffic away
from the main shopping streets.
By the end of the 1960s,
these huge roads cut across Croydon.
The way that people moved around town
changed completely.
Find out more
A good way to start finding out about
the physical changes in Croydon
is by studying maps and photographs.
These are available to see in the

Featured architects in the AMU include:
In 2006, the Alumni Memorial Union added to the Marquette collection with the portrait of Arun Gandhi, who appeared at Marquette University in 2005.
In many of the meeting rooms in the Alumni Memorial Union, crucifixes from across the globe are featured on the wall. With an award from the Simmons Religious Commitment Fund in 2006, the AMU was able to purchase nineteen crucifixes from various parts of the world ranging from Russia to El Salvador to Kenya to display throughout the building. The crucifix project was part of the Alumni Memorial Union's desire to support the university's identity as a faith-based institution.
Crucifix locations in the AMU and region of origin include:
Content of St. Ignatius' life from early childhood through the end of his years covers his experience with Manresa, his own schooling, teaching of the Spiritual Exercises and his impact on the Jesuits and education as compiled by Father Normal O'Neal, S.J. in his account of the life of St. Ignatius for the community of Jesuit High School in New Orleans.
The Life of St. Ignatius of Loyola is outlined on the south hallway of the AMU 3rd floor. Funding for this display made possible by an award from the Simmons Religious Commitment Fund in 2012.
The Haggerty Museum of Art Thai Collection symbolizes the international, academic and artistic dimension of Marquette University. Consisting of 40 paintings derived from wall murals of temples and sacred buildings in Thailand, pieces of the collection are featured in the AMU's Lunda Room on the 2nd floor.
These Thai paintings are intended as a contribution to the multicultural education and environment of Marquette University. They provide a unique visual learning experience for all students and visitors to the Alumni Memorial Union.
"Milwaukee Circle of Life" is a mural celebrating diversity in and around the Milwaukee area. The mural, part of an artist-in-residence, after-school program sponsored by the Forest County Potawatomi Community Foundation, was created by 500 students from a diverse selection of area schools and modeled after the Native American Circle of Life. The program was implemented by SHARP Literacy-Creative SHARP Presentations, Inc., of Milwaukee.
The giant artwork, which consists of separate murals created at each school and reflects the spiritual energy of all races, measures 20 x 5 feet. At the center is an artwork created by Native American students and modeled after the Native American Circle of Life. It will be installed in the Lynch Lounge on the third floor of the Alumni Memorial Union.
Students involved in the project hail from the Hmong American Peace Academy, Indian Community School, Lloyd Street Global Education School, Poplar Creek Elementary School and St. Anthony's School of Milwaukee.
Brought to the second floor of the Alumni Memorial Union in the summer of 2007, the Father Brooks Mosaic was previously on display in the old Brooks Memorial Union. The mosaic was created to show the life and the meaning of the life of the late Father Peter A. Brooks, S.J., past Marquette University president for whom the Brooks Memorial Union had been named.
The story in the mosaic is told in symbolism, the universal language of the Church. Major features of the mosaic include a section that honors Mary, Mother of God and a section that bears the "Chi Rho" symbol for Christ and the alpha and omega - beginning and end.

Looks like iBooks 1.1 includes references to x2 iPad graphics, shorthand for Retina Display graphics that would peg iPad 2's screen at technology-bending 2048x1536. That's precisely double the current iPad's 1024x768 in both dimensions, and precisely what Apple did with iPhone 4 last year. (Doubling the pixels is the easiest way to keep existing apps functional and prevent fragmentation and mass developer angst.)
Doubling iPad 2's resolution would result in a 260dpi display, not as sharp as iPhone 4's 326dpi. As we've said many times, Retina Display is dependent on distance and most people hold an iPad further away than they do an iPhone. So 260dpi should be effectively similar if not the same.
But 2048x1536 is more pixels than the $999 Apple 27" LED Cinema Display, in a smaller area, and in a device that with all other components -- including the rumored Apple A5 chipset powerful enough to drive that many pixels -- starting at half the price.
I'm still not sure that technology exists at that price point. I am getting slightly weary of the back and forth rumors though, so hopefully Apple announces their iPad 2 event and Steve Jobs puts this to rest for once and for all.
Meanwhile, speculate away. If Apple puts their mind and supply chain to it could they get this miracle of glass done?
