In a group of cranes, just as with any flock of birds there is a hierarchy structure that must be established. This is a major part of the socialization process that occurs at Patuxent in order to get the birds to live together as a group before they are sent down here to LA. This structure is fluid and changes over time as the birds continue to mature and as circumstances change. Like most animals, cranes have a series of threat displays they'll go through before they'll actually fight and make physical contact which always brings a risk of injury. One of the other things they'll do is have a "stand-off" with another bird. Height is a sign of dominance in cranes so before two cranes will actually fight they'll stand face to face, each stretching as tall as they can be, pointing their bills up to give them extra height. Sometimes these encounters are brief and other times they can last several minutes until one of the birds backs down or escalates the confrontation by jabbing or chasing off the opponent. In the video you can see two cranes on the left side of the food platform having a "stand-off". The two cranes shown here are both males, L8-11 is on the left and L5-11 is the one on the right. You'll see it looks as if L8 is actually a bit taller but eventually he makes the mistake of starting to lower his head and turn away, at which point L5 takes advantage and jabs at him, displacing him from the platform and essentially winning the confrontation. Once off the platform L8 stands up to L5 again but isn't likely to win this next encounter given how much lower he is now positioned.

Scott Verplank is quickly approaching his 47th birthday, and admits to feeling old. Pain associated with an arthritic left wrist has plagued him for about a year.
He arrives at this week's Travelers Championship at the TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn., having played a sparse 2011 schedule, but he is hopeful of regaining some of the successful mojo of seasons past.
"It's just one of those deals getting old, I guess," said Verplank, who has played nine events this season with erratic results. He has a pair of top-10 finishes, including a tie for second at the Shell Houston Open, a pair of missed cuts and three finishes outside the top 25.
"My biggest problem with it is I haven't been able to be consistent. I've been able to play some weeks and feel okay and I've played some other weeks and just been terrible."
Verplank, though, is not one to dwell on the ailments that go along with being in the profession for so long, which for him has been since 1986 after a heralded amateur career in which he won the U.S. Amateur Championship in 1984 and the NCAA Championship in 1986 while playing for Oklahoma State University.
A year ago at the Travelers Championship, Verplank tied for second, losing in a three-man playoff to Bubba Watson. While Verplank, a five-time winner on the PGA Tour, could view last year as an opportunity lost, he was actually surprised to have even been in a playoff.
"I played very well, made two eagles on the back nine, and all of a sudden I'm playing up 17 and 18 thinking if I could birdie one of those two, then I'd have a really good shot at a playoff," he said. "Well, if I would have birdied either one of them, I could have actually outright won. And I had two good looks at it."
"I was really happy to even have a shot, to be honest with you. At the beginning of the day I would have never thought that I had a chance."
Verplank is unsure how he will play this week. After tying for 54th at The Players Championship, Verplank missed the cut at the HP Byron Nelson Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Classic.
"I'm really looking forward to coming back here," he said. "I love this golf course. I've done very well around here and had a lot of good rounds, so I'm excited to be here this week."
Now, if only his left wrist will cooperate.

Retired Teacher Gets Tested By Tax Fraud
An accountant rarely rings at 8 a.m. with good news. Sure enough, when Paige Brown* took the call, she found out the IRS had rejected her tax return because someone already had filed in her name and pocketed the refund. To make matters worse, the IRS wanted Brown to pay back the money.
"I started frantically calling my credit card companies and telling everyone that my identity had been stolen," said Brown, a retired English teacher from New England.
Tax-related identity theft is a growing problem. In 2012 alone, the IRS was hit with more than 600,000 false claims, according to a recent study from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. The high incidence of fraud is snarling the system. It takes dozens of phone calls and a wait time of six months to more than a year for cases like Brown's to be resolved.
Fortunately, Brown's auto insurance provider covered her for identity management services through CyberScout. Fraud Investigator Maria Valenzuela was dedicated to her case until its full resolution.
"Maria was very reassuring," Brown said. "In a calm, authoritative and professional manner she outlined the steps I needed to take immediately."
The first step: Valenzuela coached Brown on how to work with the three major credit bureaus—TransUnion, Experian and Equifax—to lock down her credit accounts and prevent the thieves from doing further damage.
But the IRS continued to hold Brown accountable for the money the agency had paid out to the identity thieves. She received letters from the IRS threatening to garnish her Social Security benefits to cover the loss.
"One of my biggest challenges was coordinating my efforts with the IRS," Brown said. "That got straightened out thanks to Maria."
Valenzuela moved quickly to protect Brown's credit and resolve the fraud by:
• Calling the IRS to confirm a fraudulent refund had been submitted and paid out.
• Completing the IRS's fraud affidavit.
• Adding a three-year tax marker to her tax file, which flags refunds for verification.
• Placing a 90-day alert with the credit bureaus and ChexSystems.
• Adding credit freezes to Brown's credit files.
• Enrolling Brown in the monitoring of her credit reports.
• Calling the IRS every 30 days until the investigation was closed.
Brown credits CyberScout with giving her peace of mind during a difficult time. Valenzuela's support helped to reduce her anxiety about the situation as well as to resolve the case with minimal stress.
"CyberScout was very good at making me feel secure that I was doing the right thing and that eventually things would be settled," Brown said. "When I called Maria, she always got back to me. She gave me accurate information on the steps that had to be taken right away."
In April, the IRS closed its investigation and acknowledged that the refund issued was fraudulent and stopped all garnishment threats.
One year later, Brown is taking steps to make sure her tax season is less turbulent. She's set up a PIN on her accounts to help ensure the IRS flags any suspicious returns. And she knows where to turn if her identity is ever stolen again.
"If it happens to me again, I would go back to CyberScout in a heartbeat."

Difference between revisions of "Metropolitan Area Airport Codes"
Revision as of 13:10, 25 March 2008
Metropolitan areas might be served by multiple airports. The IATA assigned easily readable airport codes to those regions which include multiple airports. The New York City area for example is served by John F Kennedy IATA: JFK, Newark Liberty International IATA: EWR and La Guardia IATA: LGA. These airports are aggregated into the NYC airport code.
Booking travel
Some booking websites allow users to search airports in the vicinity of the given airports. Those that do not may be tricked into extending the search by using the larger area airport codes as listed below. If you book international flights that connect through a major hub you should decide if an airport change is feasible, i.e. flying into the Buenos Aires Ezeiza International airport IATA: EZE and connect to a domestic flight from the local Aeroparque Jorge Newbery IATA: AEP. Smaller domestic airports are more likely to be served by low cost airlines but that might also force you to re-check your luggage. Ask you airline if they allow interlining tickets - checking your luggage through to the final destination on multiple tickets.
List of Airport Codes
Airports are listed by decreasing importance for international travel. Some flight search engines might include not all airports into their queries.

South America

Why did "Lone Ranger" tank? Johnny Depp will tell you why.
The actor spoke out for the first time since the flick's downfall at the box office, and blamed the film's underwhelming release on the critics, according to Variety.
"I think the reviews were written seven to eight months before we released the film," Depp explained in a new interview.

He continued to state that the movie never stood a chance because of all the negative press surrounding it.
"I think the reviews were written when they heard Gore [Verbinski] and Jerry [Bruckheimer] and me were going to do 'The Lone Ranger,'" he said. "They had expectations that it must be a blockbuster. I didn't have any expectations of that. I never do."
Bruckheimer agreed with Depp's reasoning, telling Yahoo U.K.-Ireland, "I think they were reviewing the budget, not reviewing the movie. The audience doesn't care what the budget is--they pay the same amount if it costs a dollar or $20 million."
He continued, "It's unfortunate because the movie is a terrific movie, it's a great epic film. It has lots of humor. Its one of those movies that whatever critics missed in it this time, they'll review it in a few years and see that they made a mistake."
As of Aug. 3, "The Lone Ranger," which cost $250 million to make, has reportedly grossed $86 million at the U.S. box office.

Every once in a while, photography brings you to important places and people who have achieved success. That occasion happened yesterday when I had the pleasure of photographing Canada's Longest-Drive Champion, Ryan Hawkins on a first-class golf course in Myrtle, Ontario.
On a perfect fall morning here in Ontario, the fall leaves were at their brightest colours and combine that with the backdrop at the 17th Tee at the Royal Ashburn Golf Course, you have the perfect setting to capture a champion who hits a golf ball 420+ yards.
They say a photo is worth a thousand words? Well, I can tell you, standing on the tee box on a Par 5 hole, I witnessed golfers standing on the green looking in utter amazement, how or where these balls were coming from, knowing the person striking the golf ball was more than 400 yards away.
Once word got out that that a champion ball striker was amongst them on the course, the game of golf stopped for a moment while they watched Ryan crushing a golf ball like it was second nature. The sheer power he generated with his swing, was one thing to witness. The other was his dress code. :-)
As Ryan stood there for a moment, I grabbed a shot of his colour coordination and his well-stocked golf bag. I'm glad I took this shot, because I later found out that his sponsors are: Geek Golf and Incepta Execution Golf Shafts, Loudmouth Clothing and Tango Creek Golf and Country Club.
Ryan is a true champion in every way and his sponsors should be so lucky to have him on their team. Our goal yesterday was to capture some images for his own personal use, however, Ryan made sure he spoke to everyone on the course yesterday, those in the clubhouse and even the tuck shop. I arrived yesterday to take photos of a champion, however I left there with a better understanding of the commitment Ryan now gives to his sport and to his sponsors, he so proudly wears and uses their clubs.
To top it all off, both Ryan and I were also in the company of another champion in the golfing industry. Doctor Ron Cruickshank, Director, Graves Academy and Moe Norman Gold Academy and Canada's Only Master Certified Instructor,. Ron spent time with Ryan and I on the 17th Tee while he consistently hit golf balls 400+ yards. He secretly video taped Ryan and during coffee, offered some very helpful tips on improving his swing, thus gaining more distance? is this possible?
After witnessing Ryan hit a golf ball and having the opportunity to listen to a golf expert, I think my golf game just improved by a few strokes. All I have to do now is find out where my clubs are, clean off the 15-year-old build up of dust and get back out there.
Best of luck to you Ryan when you compete in Mexico in November 2013. With the impression you left yesterday with those on the course at Royal Ashburn, I'm sure you will have many following you as you compete for the title of World Champion.
Thanks for a great photo shoot.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Ex-White House hopeful Jon Huntsman joined other Republicans in calling for a wild-card or third-party candidate to try to unseat U.S. President Barack Obama.
"I think we're going to have problems politically until we get some sort of third-party movement or some voice out there that can put forth new ideas," Huntsman told MSNBC Thursday.
"Gone are the days when the Republican Party used to put forth big, bold visionary stuff," Huntsman said.
"Someone's going to step up at some point and say we've had enough of this," he said.
The former Utah governor and ambassador to China dropped out of the presidential race Jan. 16 and endorsed Mitt Romney.
Asked about his endorsement, he said, "I'm not a surrogate for anybody."
"The real issues are not being addressed [by the Republican candidates] and it's time that we put forward an alternative vision, a bold thinking," he said. "We might not win, but we can certainly influence the debate."
When asked who the "we" referred to, he said, "a whole bunch of Americans out there that can't find a place politically."
But he quickly ruled out his own bid.
"That ain't gonna be me, by the way," Huntsman said. "I'm not interested in that."
Huntsman rejoined the private sector two weeks ago, joining the Ford Motor Co. board of directors. He succeeded his father two weeks earlier as chairman of the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
But while he denied an interest in running, he placed second, behind presidential hopeful Rep. Ron Paul, R-Texas, in an online candidate-drafting process by Americans Elect, a non-partisan organization hosting the first national online presidential primary in May to put a third presidential contender on the ballot in all 50 states.
"All I can say is, I'm looking at the political marketplace and the duopoly is tired and we're stuck in a rut," Huntsman told MSNBC.
His comments followed a similar expression of dismay from former Republican Party Chairman and ex-Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour, who told ABC News, "If the Republican primary voters continue to split up their votes in such a way that nobody is close to having a majority, then there is a chance that somebody else might get in."
Barbour, 64, said it would not be "necessarily bad" for a "white knight" candidate to emerge at the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., the week of Aug. 27.
"Romney, [Rick] Santorum, Paul or [Newt] Gingrich -- I don't think any of them has made the case that 'I am the guy who has the best chance to beat Obama,'" said Barbour, party chairman from 1993 to 1997, during which time the Republicans captured both the House and Senate for the first time since 1954.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a younger brother of former President George W. Bush, are often suggested as candidates who might unify the party after a bruising and divisive race.
Christie, who has endorsed Romney, said he still faced pressure to wage his own campaign.
Jeb Bush, who has not endorsed anyone, had no immediate comment about running, but said in Dallas Thursday he watched the debates and found it "a little troubling sometimes when people are appealing to people's fears and emotion rather than trying to get them to look over the horizon for a broader perspective."
"I think it changes when we get to the general election," Bush said. "I hope."

HARRISBURG - With Superstorm Sandy's destruction reviving debate over global climate change, Pennsylvania's effort to fashion a response is nearing another milestone.
The state Climate Change Advisory Committee released a plan in late 2009 with non-binding recommendations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent statewide by 2020. The recommendations are advisory and lack the force of law. Among them is support for production of "low-carbon" electric power from renewable sources of energy, nuclear plants and natural gas.
Now the committee is preparing an update with new recommendations as required by a 2008 state law. The review is prompted by research showing Pennsylvania accounts for about 1 percent of worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases.
The committee is seeking to reduce emissions in five broad areas, said Kevin Sunday, spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection. These are electric generation, industry, residential homes and commercial businesses, transportation and land use and agriculture and forestry.
The scope of the committee's purview is wide-ranging, with such topics as energy-efficient "green" roofs, no-till farming, reforestation and manure digesters under discussion.
The 2009 report includes recommendations to use more efficient lighting systems, an "eco-driving" program to offer fuel-saving tips and incentives to encourage less driving and more tree-planting in urban areas.
The committee's work also addresses the impact of increased drilling for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale region, for example.
While the 2009 plan supports natural gas use, efforts need to be made to control methane emissions from natural gas leakage from wells and pipelines, said Rep. Greg Vitali, D-166, Havertown, a sponsor of the 2008 law.
Mr. Vitali said it's important to pass new state laws to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and go a step beyond advisory recommendations.
He supports legislation to require electric companies to increase the amount of electricity generated by retail power that they sell to retail customers.
"We won't solve the greenhouse gas problem without increasing use of renewables," Mr. Vitali said.

The Oakland Raiders are partnering with the Alameda County Community Food Bank to help their neighbors in need as the region braces for a spike in need during the winter and holiday season.
Staff and families of the Raiders organization are sorting, screening, boxing and shelving food items in preparation for the busy holiday season in the Food Bank's main warehouse in Oakland today, a week prior to Thanksgiving.
In addition, a number of Raiders players will spend their lone day off during the week—the Tuesday prior to Thanksgiving— visiting the food bank and assisting in the preparation of food items.
Fans are encouraged to support the Food Bank's hunger relief efforts this Sunday before the Raiders-Saints game at the Coliseum by visiting their booth in Raiderville from 8:30 am – noon.
Fans are asked to make a monetary donation or donations of healthy non-perishable food items, such as canned meats and vegetables, pasta and sauce, peanut butter and low-sugar cereals. All proceeds go directly to the Food Bank's hunger relief efforts.
Since 1985, the Alameda County Community Food Bank has been at the forefront of hunger-relief efforts in the Bay Area. This year the Food Bank will distribute 24 million pounds of food, more than half farm-fresh produce. The Food Bank serves one in six Alameda County residents by distributing food through a network of 275 food pantries, soup kitchens, and other community organizations.
For more information, visit www.raiders.com and www.accfb.org.
The Oakland Raiders are hosting a virtual food drive, encouraging fans to donate money to help the Food Bank purchase its most needed items. To participate, please go to https://www.vfd-accfb.org/grouphome.aspx?ID=555

Deputy, woman hospitalized crash on I-4 | News
Polk, Florida -- A three-vehicle crash on I-4 near the off-ramp leading to CR 557 in Polk County sent two to the hospital, including one deputy Friday morning.
Authorities say around 10:40 a.m., a gold 2003 Chevy Malibu hit a 2009 semi-tractor trailer and a green 2007 Ford F-150 pickup truck while they were heading east on I-4.
The impact of the crash caused Mary Fow, the driver of the Mailbu, to lose control and slide off the off-ramp and hit Polk County Traffic Deputy Nick Taylor's motorcycle, along with the deputy, while he was conducting a traffic stop on the south shoulder of the I-4 eastbound off-ramp leading to CR 557.
Photo Gallery: I-4 crash involving traffic deputy
Deputy Taylor, who has been with the agency for 21 years, was taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center with non life-threatening injuries. He is listed in stable condition at this time.
Fow was also taken to LRMC where she is also listed in stable condition.
All eastbound lanes except for one were closed for over four hours while deputies investigated the crash. The sheriff's office expects all lanes to be reopened in a few minutes of this update.

DU-CC, as good as it gets
I covered the Broncos last night. Actually, I wrote about the Titans and Denver native LenDale White. It was OK. After the game I walking around the field, trying to get a quick quote from White, and it was kind of cool, considering it was a warm Monday night and America was watching. But again, it was just OK.
This weekend, I'll be enjoying my job much more at the Denver-Colorado College home-and-home series. In addition to watching CU-Nebraska go at it on a beautiful fall day in Boulder, or an Avs-Wings playoff game anywhere, there is no better guaranteed-great sporting event than attending the back-to-back games in Colorado Springs and Denver. In two nights, you get to see the two obnoxious student sections at excellent, cozy rinks, and all the colors, bands, popcorn smell, chants, etc. Another treat is seeing how the teams adjust from Olympic-size ice (Springs) to the NHL sheet (Denver). I'm not saying DU vs. Minnesota or CC vs. North Dakota aren't always great series, too. But the home-and-home deal makes the Front Range affair so special.
Monday night was a game between high-paid players posing for television cameras, and the fans seemingly care about winning or losing more than anyone. Friday and Saturday will be a battle between unpaid guys playing for the name on the front of the jerseys, not the back. We aren't supposed to use words like "battle" and "war" to describe a sporting event, because the idea is not to kill or capture the opponent. But, I'll tell you, in the DU-CC rivalry, sometimes you feel so much energy and emotion from the players you think they wouldn't mind killing each other if that's how they're going to win.
After NFL games, most players, win or lose, have huge smiles on their faces. They walk in circles, trying to find those guys they know, respect, idolize, whatever, and offer hugs and plans to hang out in the future. It's like a post-game party without the booze.
After Saturday's Game 2 at Magness Arena, the teams will line up and shake hands. No hugs or party plans. Nobody will be excluded. And nobody will be smiling. The winning team will want to smile, but out of respect for the losing opponent, they'll save it for later.
NFL players play the game and immediately move on. With DU and CC guys, each game between the two is like life and death. Blame it on youth. Blame it on hype or the history of the programs, but one way or another, they'll play each game this weekend like it's their last.
After Game 2, they won't have anything left, except a hand shake for each member of the opposing team in hockey's extraordinarily respectful fashion. On Sunday or Monday, they'll understand that it was just two games.
And then they'll be able to move on.

(Why does George Noel still have a job? – promoted by Rob "EaBo Clipper" Eno)
Massachusetts Tea Party and Liberty activists call for Governor's action on escalating violent rhetoric expressed by MA officeholders and employees
A coalition of Massachusetts Tea Party and Liberty activists has today sent a letter to Governor Deval Patrick's office. In it, leaders ask the Governor to take action in addressing the rising level of violent language being directed at those activists that have demonstrated support for Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's financial reform efforts, including proposed legislation that reins in benefits and collective bargaining privileges enjoyed by Wisconsin public employee unions.
Ken Mandile of Worcester Tea Party said "We're putting the Governor on notice that this is happening. It's the people's responsibility to support good governance. It is not the responsibility of government to criticize the people." Tea Party and Liberty leaders encourage the Governor to act.
On the next page is the text of the letter sent to the Governor's office:
"Dear Governor Patrick,
As our elected leaders in the past months have called for more measured public discourse, the signatories of this letter eagerly wait for this moment to arrive in the Commonwealth. While the Tea Parties of Massachusetts continue to engage in civil public debate, recent rhetoric by an elected office holder and a state employee has left our members questioning their commitment.
Our members see the public statements made on February 26, 2011 by George Noel "Make no mistake about it. We are at War." as blatantly disregarding this general call for civility. While we respect Mr. Noel's right to free speech outside his official capacity as Director of Labor for the Commonwealth, we believe his statements to be intentionally inflammatory.
In light of experiencing verbal and physical intimidation at the Statehouse on February 22, 2011, including being shouted at, spit on, shoved, knocked to the ground and sustaining damage to personal property, our members are alarmed by what appears to be a pattern of suggestive violent language coming from our government. Congressman Capuano, in response to criticism, expressed regret for his call to "get a little bloody".
Individuals can make poor word choices. This is not our concern. What concerns us is that when this type of language comes repeatedly from officeholders and upper management of the Commonwealth, it takes on an appearance of the state inciting and encouraging violence against citizens with an opposing point of view.
It is amusing to us that the public labor unions have enlisted private trade unions, with whom the Tea Party has no issue, into this debate. More disconcerting is when the character of the speech coming from our government is matched with the violent actions of union supporters. It becomes difficult to determine where the labor movement ends and our state government begins.
We expect action from your office to ensure that the leadership of the Commonwealth, both elected and appointed, will cease such deliberate provocation."

Start seeing more of India's Golden Triangle for less green in 2011. Today we announced 22 new departure dates starting in April for Friendly Planet's Taj Mahal Express tour.
Earlier this year, I told you how I discovered several opportunities to make the best tour of India even better. Now we're giving you more chances to experience them and more for only $999.
The Taj Mahal Express takes you on expert-guided tours of the Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikhri, Jaipur (known as the "pink city"), and the Amber Fort, with an ascent on elephant or a Jeep.
You also get a one-day tour in Delhi that takes you to its most important sites, such as the Laxmi Narayan Temple, Raj Ghat, the Red Fort, and more. Your tour concludes with a rickshaw tour through Old Delhi's most popular street market, Chandni Chowk.
New to the Taj Mahal Express in 2010 was a guided tour of an authentic farming village. It was a favorite of travelers, and is included again in the 2011 departures. Meet the village elder of Barara Village, and interact with the villagers who live and work there. The entire tour was developed exclusively by Friendly Planet Travel to give you the richest understanding of life in India.
But jump back to my previous posts on the Taj Mahal Express to hear how we're able to give you all of this and more for $999. Also, read what travelers have to say about the tour and what it's like traveling with a group to India.
Although the price for this tour is incredibly low, the accommodations are incredibly high. Our package price includes roundtrip airfare from New York on Air India; superior first-class hotels; daily buffet breakfasts; an authentic Indian farewell dinner in Delhi; expert guides throughout your journey; fuel surcharges, transfers, and much more.
If nine days just isn't enough time for you, an optional three-day extension to Nepal is available. It takes you to Kathmandu to visit Durbar Square, the city of Bhadgaon, the famous five-story pagoda temple of Nyatapola, and local bazaars. You also get the opportunity to end your trip on a high note with an optional flight over the Himalayas and Mount Everest. You'll fly over the highest peak on Earth.
I promise you, the Taj Mahal Express is one of the most amazing cultural experiences of a lifetime. The past few years have proven that these departure dates sell out quickly, so book the nine-day Taj Mahal Express by Dec. 8.
For the full itinerary, visit our website. And if you have any question write to me or call 1-800-555-5765 and speak to our reservations team.

Mike Edwards, who played cello in the innovative 1970s rock group Electric Light Orchestra, was killed in southern England when a giant hay bale rolled down a hill and hit his van.
Edwards, 62, died instantly Friday afternoon after the 1,323-pound bale rolled down a steep field in Devon, smashed through a hedge and landed in the road.
Sgt. Steve Walker, of Devon and Cornwall police, described the crash as "a tragic accident," the BBC reported.
U.S. & World
Police said they used photographs and YouTube footage to identify Edwards and are investigating whether the bale may have fallen from a tractor working on farmland near the road.
Edwards, who played with the band between 1972 and 1975, quit the band at its height of popularity to become a Buddhist, according to the Mirror. He went on to become a founding member of the Devon Baroque orchestra, which performed around his hometown.
"He was simply the nicest guy and a brilliant musician," Angus Gordon, the chairman of Devon Baroque, told BBC News. "He was capable of turning his hand to any type of music at all," Mr Gordon said.
"He taught the cello and his incredible patience and encouragement - even with the slowest of students - made him a very good teacher.
ELO, which formed in Birmingham in 1970, released 11 albums and sold more than 50 million records. Their hits included "Can't Get it Out of My Head," Evil Woman," "Strange Magic," Livin' Thing" and "Telephone Line."

A play structure was destroyed by fire at a Vallejo elementary school Saturday morning and firefighters suspect it was set intentionally, a Vallejo fire captain said.
Firefighters initially responded to calls at about 10 a.m. that Loma Vista Elementary School at 146 Rainier Ave. was on fire but found only the play structure burning when they arrived, fire Capt. Arthur Gonzales said.
It took crews from two fire engines to put the fire out, which mostly destroyed the plastic play structure, Gonzales said.
The structure was set in an area surrounded by bark chips, and Gonzales said that it appears someone set both the structure and bark on fire.
A fire investigator is looking into exactly how the fire was set, he said. No injuries were reported.

About the artwork
I was inspired to start to paint some small triptychs on canvas board and this contemporary textured triptych of a warm sunrise over Lulworth Cove is one of the first in a series of all the local landscapes in Dorset I love the most. Because they are so light they can easily be attached to your wall with Command strips or White Tack, or they can be framed in any way you desire.

Marja Brown
Born in Holland, I studied art in College but became a potter for 25 years before picking up the brush again. I feel I am mostly self taught through my love and enthusiasm of painting the world the way I want to see it. The beautiful country side of Dorset offers me unlimited potential to express my love for painting landscapes and seascapes and gives me the opportunity to work with many different colors which I find very healing. When I paint I find I can lose myself in each painting anew large or small. For the last 7 years I have exhibited my paintings in Bournemouth gardens throughout the summer, and I also exhibit at various other exhibitions around Dorset and you can find me on several online galleries.

Grindelia Flower
Veterinarian Reviewed on June 15, 2012 by Paulina Nelega, RH
Posted in Uncategorized
Grindelia Flower
Grindelia (Grindelia camporum) is also known as the gum plant and it is native to North America. Grindelia is a perennial herb that can grow up to 3 feet and it has unique triangular leaves and bright yellow flowers that may look like a daisy.
The Grindelia flower is the most commonly used part of the Grindelia plant for herbal remedies. The Grindelia flower is beneficial in the treatment of bronchial asthma, as well as in the treatment of many other respiratory illnesses. The Grindelia flower typically blooms in late summer and this is the perfect time to harvest these wonderful blooms.
History and Origin
The Grindelia flower is the most widely used part of the Grindelia plant for therapeutic herbal remedies. In 1875, Mr. Jas G. Steele of San Francisco made relevant research available and published a report on the effectiveness of the Grindelia flower in the treatment of bronchial asthma. The research was presented to the American Pharmaceutical Association in 1875 and since then, the Grindelia flower has been seen as a possible treatment in the management of asthma and many other respiratory illnesses.
Ancient Uses
The Grindelia flower was used in ancient times to relieve respiratory illnesses by expectorating phlegm and loosening thick mucus. The leaves of the Grindelia plant are also used as a poultice for wounds, boils and other skin disorders.
Modern Uses
The use of the Grindelia flower in modern times is also for the relief of respiratory illnesses. Aside from bronchial asthma, it is also effective in relieving thick mucus secretions thereby restoring airways.
The Grindelia flower also provides a relaxing effect on the muscles that line the bronchial passages. This herbal remedy also known to desensitize the nerve endings of the bronchial tree that can dramatically help slow down a person's heart rate and eases the breathing process as well.
Whooping cough, hay fever and pulmonary cystitis are also some of the pulmonary disorders that Grindelia flower treats successfully. A poultice of the Grindelia plant is still being used today for burns, skin irritations, poison ivy, boils and many order skin disorders.
Grindelia flower also has a sedative effect that can calm and induce relaxation and sleep.
Side Effects
There are some significant side effects in the use of the Grindelia flower. It is contraindicated for a patient with kidney and heart ailments to use Grindelia supplements since it may cause life threatening side effects and adverse reactions on the medications that such a patient would normally use.
It can cause renal irritation if used in excessive amounts. This is why if you want to use Grindelia flower supplements for your particular illness, it is best to consult your doctor for the ideal dosage and to learn about the possible side effects of this herbal remedy.
Grindelia flower supplements are contraindicated in pregnant and lactating women. It is also not intended to be used in very young children since there is lack of clinical data and research in the use of this herbal remedy in the young.
Always follow your recommended dose and never self medicate to prevent adverse drug reactions.
