Amistad America has agreed to use Results-Based Accountability methods, as urged by state Rep. Diana Urban, to better demonstrate how it has spent its state subsidies.
The North Stonington Democrat met with New Haven legislators and Amistad America executive director Hanifa Washington, who agreed to use the budgeting method to measure the success of its programing relative to its funding.
The foundation's nonprofit status remains revoked and state auditors are still looking into how Amistad America has been spending state funds.
Results-based budgeting would require the organization to quantify such activities as how many visitors the vessel has and how many ports it visits. Urban said Amistad America would have to report how well participants learned - perhaps through a questionnaire - and whether people benefited from the program.
The state Department of Economic and Community Development plans to make payments totaling $359,000 a year to Amistad America over the next two years. DECD representatives have said Amistad is turning a corner and that its new partnerships are positive steps.
Urban said she sent Sen. Toni Harp, D-New Haven, and Rep. Toni Walker, D-New Haven, a report on the "systemic lack of data" from the Amistad America. Harp, Walker and Urban met with Washington to discuss future accountability.
"I don't want to destroy the Amistad, I just want it to be accountable to the taxpayer, so it seemed the appropriate time to ask for Results-Based Accountability," Urban said.
Washington said on Thursday that she voluntarily agreed to use Results-Based Accountability and that it was not a mandate or punishment. "It was a suggestion (Urban) made and I accepted it," Washington said.
One of the new director's tasks will be fundraising. Washington worked on program development for Amistad America from 2009 until she was named executive director this month. She said she has been working on youth development and at nonprofits for the past 10 years. She added that while she has grant-writing experience, she has never had primary fundraising responsibility.
"In terms of pitching to an audience or finding people to pitch to, I don't have a lot of that experience, but I already have coaches and am doing some trainings around that," she said.
Urban had said she wanted to see the entire staff of Amistad America dissolved, and that Washington had been picked internally and without the job being advertised.
Board Chairman Fredrica Gray confirmed Thursday that the job never was advertised but added that Washington has lots of experience with sailing and with the Amistad.
Greg Belanger, the former executive director of Amistad America who now serves as the director of the Maine-based Ocean Classroom Foundation, will oversee the vessel's maintenance, crew and arrivals and departures under contract with Ocean Classroom through July 2014. Washington and Amistad America's board will be in charge of the organization's programs and mission.
Belanger also will provide state auditors and Amistad America's accountant with any additionally needed information, Washington said, as the organization tries to get its tax-exempt status reinstated and undergoes a state audit.
Amistad lost its tax-exempt status after failing to file tax returns for three years. During that time, Belanger was the executive director and Gray was on the board.
Gray said they are working on filing tax forms as quickly as possible and that she is not concerned about what the audit might find or about state funding going forward.
"We have always been up front about everything, our money. We have people working on our 990s right now so the audit will be finished and (we are) looking forward to getting that done," Gray said.
Urban said the reason she sought Results-Based Accountability is that previous reports to the DECD were not clear. Amistad has been given $8 million by the state during the last 15 years; Urban said it is unclear precisely how that money was spent.
The DECD was the source of $2.5 million given to Amistad America since 2008. Most of the reports from the DECD explain how $400,000 in bond money was approved for ship repairs. Little information is given on the $2 million in state funds Amistad America received from 2008 to 2012.
Urban has said she is not satisfied with the DECD's response to her inquiries about Amistad finances. She also has said that DECD has been resistant to results-based reporting.
The schooner was launched in 2000 and originally sailed to ports around the United States to tell the story of African captives freed after a Supreme Court case in 1839. In the past few years, Amistad America has had a shortage of funds and has spent time at Mystic Seaport being repaired.

Alberta "Betty" May Peterson
MADISON - Alberta "Betty" May (nee Carmody) Peterson, passed from this earth surrounded by her children on April, 20, 2013. She was 85 years old.
Betty was born at home on June 16, 1927 in Sugar Bush, Wisconsin to William and Audrey (Howard) Carmody, who preceded her death in 1976 and 1960.
Betty was born with a form of spina bifida and as child overcame great obstacles in her life. As a six year old, Betty spent six months at the Children's Orthopedic Hospital in Madison, where she received "corrective " surgery for a club foot. The procedure failed, but Betty later taught herself to walk without a limp and for the rest of her life, her physical limitations never held her back.
During the depression, Betty lived with her family on a farm in rural Hortonville, Wisconsin. Later Betty graduated (1945) from Sturgeon Bay High School, when her family moved there during WWII, for her father's employment as a ship builder.
Betty moved to Chicago processing war bonds after high school, but later relocated to Milwaukee, where she worked for the Telephone Company. In 1954, Betty married Robert Peterson and started a family. Betty raised three children. During those years, Betty ran a home typing business, became a Girl Scout leader and Neighborhood Chairman. She was active at her church, St. Agnes, in Butler, Wisconsin where she was president of Home and School, taught catechism and participated in a theatrical drama, "The Upper Room" as Mary, the mother of Jesus.
Betty and her husband divorced in 1971 and Betty continued her strong dedication to her family as a single parent. Betty worked full time as a clerk at Kohl's Department store and later in offices at Colart and Applied Power. Betty retired in 1989. Once she retired, she obtained a Paralegal Certificate. Betty spent many hours with her grandchildren taking then on numerous day trips and adventures. In 1996, Betty moved with her daughter's family to the farm in Jefferson. In 2003, she relocated to Madison to be near her son, Bobby. Betty was an avid Brewer fan who scored all the games for many years until her health declined. Betty also had other hobbies which included reading and researching questions with a strong sense of intellectual curiosity, and sketch drawing. Betty even owned a horse for a time.
Betty is survived by her three children, Sandra Wanzer (Brian), Lucerne, California , Mary Peterson (Phil Jucha), Cedar Grove, Wisconsin and Bobby Peterson, Madison, Wisconsin. Betty has a sister, Frances Roloff, New London, Wisconsin. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Howard Carmody, (Dale, Wisconsin), Leo Carmody, Escondido, California, and sister, Rhoda Lemanski, Cudahy, Wisconsin. Betty is survived by two grandchildren, Jason Welsh (Michelle), Charleston, S.C. and Michael Peterson (Carrie) Neosho, Wisconsin and 4 great grandchildren, Cameron, Christian, Alexander, and Zachary.
In lieu of flowers or other remembrances please join us in a celebration of Betty's life, on the date of her birth, June 16, 2013. This celebration will take place at her son's farm in Jefferson, Wisconsin . For more information contact Bobby at email@example.com

Interview with Rabbi David Saperstein - Part 2
In our second installment of Q&A with Rabbi David Saperstein, Rabbi Lavey Derby asks about his roll and influences.
Q: You're held in high esteem by colleagues and peers: who do you admire and why?
"Too many to do justice to. I have been blessed to meet and work with so many of the greats over the years. My parents rank alone in their influence on my life: My father, as a beloved rabbi for nearly 50 years in one synagogue and he and my mother as passionate social justice activists. In the Jewish social justice arena, my two most influential Jewish social justice mentors were Al Vorspan, the longtime social justice VP of the Reform Jewish Movement, and at 90, in my Continue reading

Scouted a piece this morning where I had previously seen a flock while deer hunting. This being my second season, and me being a newbie, I've not been terribly successful with locating birds. So my approach this year was to hit the locator calls at first light, keep moving and cover as much ground as possible until I get a response. .. l did that for about an hour and had no response..other than the crows!!! They were cawing a lot, which I thought was great, let them do the work for me. Although I did not get a response, my sense was they were there and just being tight lipped. Decided then to get in the ruck and drive a half mile away to some other fields...this is all on public land mind you. As I go by one field low and behold, I see a couple of hens...I stop, glass for the gob, but didn't see one so I continued on to the next field, didn't spot any thing there, and headed back towards the field with the hens. When I came upon them, the Gob finally appeared...he was beautiful, what a sight to behold. He was strutting and all over one hen, the other two hens looked like they moved on behind the hill.
Gents for me this was like a gift...aside from one singular sighting (and attempt to roost) that was the only bird I saw last season. Now I've seen a flock and hopefully what will be a place to setup. Having said that I do have some questions. Opening day is 26 April, is it reasonable to expect they will be in that area again a week from now? They were in the field around 0745 this morning...is it safe to say they were probably roosting near by? I did no want to disturb them so I did not hang around to do a post mortum on the area and look for tracks and sign that may tell me where they are coming from, but plan to go back mid day another time and look around. My sense is they may have come in from another field a quarter mile away...that being the case should I set up inside the woods between the two fields or should I set my hen deke where I saw them and wait for them to come into that field? Should I hit the locator call at first light from that spot just to make sure they are still in the area...and since they don't seem to be responding to the crow calls should I try a Peacock? Sorry for all the questions fellas, but any help is much appreciated. Thanks fellas...I'm stoked!!!

So…it was just me and the dog (my German Wirehaired Pointer) at my cabin in northern Wisconsin. We had been hunting ruffed grouse for several days and were hitting the woods pretty hard.
It was the middle of the night and I was zonked out in my bed.
I don't know what woke me up, a little noise or something. I look at the clock…it's three in the morning! There is a light on in the kitchen! What the heck?
I know I turned that light off. I figure I better get up and see what going on.
When I round the corner I can't believe what I am seeing. I just stand there kinda dumb founded for several seconds.
Then the dog pipes up and all he says is….
"Couldn't sleep."
After a few more seconds of my dumb founded silence I turn and go back to bed. I told the dog to turn out the light when he was done. He just grunted something at me.
Friggan wirehairs.

Does Air Pollution Hurt Memory of Older Adults? »
"Nov. 16, 2012 -- Air pollution may be bad for older brains, a new study shows.
Older adults who live in areas of high pollution did not do as well on tests of memory and other thinking skills, according to a new study.

(mitoxantrone) for Injection Concentrate
NOVANTRONE® (mitoxantrone for injection concentrate) should be administered under the supervision of a physician experienced in the use of cytotoxic chemotherapy agents.
NOVANTRONE® should be given slowly into a freely flowing intravenous infusion. It must never be given subcutaneously, intramuscularly, or intra-arterially. Severe local tissue damage may occur if there is extravasation during administration. (See ADVERSE REACTIONS, General, Cutaneous and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION, Preparation and Administration Precautions).
NOT FOR INTRATHECAL USE. Severe injury with permanent sequelae can result from intrathecal administration. (See WARNINGS, General)
Except for the treatment of acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, NOVANTRONE® therapy generally should not be given to patients with baseline neutrophil counts of less than 1,500 cells/mm³. In order to monitor the occurrence of bone marrow suppression, primarily neutropenia, which may be severe and result in infection, it is recommended that frequent peripheral blood cell counts be performed on all patients receiving NOVANTRONE®.
Congestive heart failure (CHF), potentially fatal, may occur either during therapy with NOVANTRONE® or months to years after termination of therapy. Cardiotoxicity risk increases with cumulative NOVANTRONE dose and may occur whether or not cardiac risk factors are present. Presence or history of cardiovascular disease, radiotherapy to the mediastinal/pericardial area, previous therapy with other anthracyclines or anthracenediones, or use of other cardiotoxic drugs may increase this risk. In cancer patients, the risk of symptomatic CHF was estimated to be 2.6% for patients receiving up to a cumulative dose of 140 mg/m². To mitigate the cardiotoxicity risk with NOVANTRONE, prescribers should consider the following:
All Patients
- All patients should be assessed for cardiac signs and symptoms by history, physical examination, and ECG prior to start of NOVANTRONE® therapy.
- All patients should have baseline quantitative evaluation of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) using appropriate methodology (ex. Echocardiogram, multi-gated radionuclide angiography (MUGA), MRI, etc.).
Multiple Sclerosis Patients
- MS patients with a baseline LVEF below the lower limit of normal should not be treated with NOVANTRONE®.
- MS patients should be assessed for cardiac signs and symptoms by history, physical examination and ECG prior to each dose.
- MS patients should undergo quantitative reevaluation of LVEF prior to each dose using the same methodology that was used to assess baseline LVEF. Additional doses of NOVANTRONE® should not be administered to multiple sclerosis patients who have experienced either a drop in LVEF to below the lower limit of normal or a clinically significant reduction in LVEF during NOVANTRONE® therapy.
- MS patients should not receive a cumulative NOVANTRONE dose greater than 140 mg/m².
- MS patients should undergo yearly quantitative LVEF evaluation after stopping NOVANTRONE to monitor for late occurring cardiotoxicity.
Secondary Leukemia
NOVANTRONE® therapy in patients with MS and in patients with cancer increases the risk of developing secondary acute myeloid leukemia.
For additional information, see WARNINGS and DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.
NOVANTRONE® (mitoxantrone hydrochloride) is a synthetic antineoplastic anthracenedione for intravenous use. The molecular formula is C22H28N4O6•2HCl and the molecular weight is 517.41. It is supplied as a concentrate that MUST BE DILUTED PRIOR TO INJECTION. The concentrate is a sterile, nonpyrogenic, dark blue aqueous solution containing mitoxantrone hydrochloride equivalent to 2 mg/mL mitoxantrone free base, with sodium chloride (0.80% w/v), sodium acetate (0.005% w/v), and acetic acid (0.046% w/v) as inactive ingredients. The solution has a pH of 3.0 to 4.5 and contains 0.14 mEq of sodium per mL. The product does not contain preservatives. The chemical name is 1,4-dihydroxy-5,8-bis[[2-[(2-hydroxyethyl) amino]ethyl]amino]-9,10anthracenedione dihydrochloride and the structural formula is:
What are the possible side effects of mitoxantrone (Novantrone)?
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction: hives; difficult breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
- signs of infection such as fever, chills, sore throat, flu symptoms, easy bruising or bleeding (nosebleeds, bleeding gums), loss of appetite, mouth sores, unusual weakness;
- pain or burning when you urinate;
- fast, slow, or uneven heart rate;
- severe or ongoing nausea or diarrhea;
- black, bloody, or tarry...

The School of Engineering and Applied Science is building its capacity to solve societal challenges while preparing leaders who will make wise use of technology. The winter 2012 issue of EQuad News, the school's magazine, highlights health-related research by focusing on collaborative work under way at Princeton in understanding human health and preventing, diagnosing and treating disease.

EQuad News: Health and engineering
Posted March 12, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
Faculty and students at Princeton's School of Engineering and Applied Science seek to make technology effective in solving societal problems across the globe. The winter 2012 issue of EQuad News, the school's magazine, focuses on one area of this endeavor: health-related research.
The projects described often extend well beyond engineering and include partnerships with the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and the departments of molecular biology and psychology. The magazine also includes a Q&A with alumni who bring a variety of perspectives to bear on the coming challenges and opportunities in global health.
In an effort to prevent disease in developing nations, Professor Wole Soboyejo of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering is leading an effort to design clay filters that can easily be made from locally available materials yet are precise enough to remove bacteria and even viruses from water. Here graduate student Ismaiel Yakub (left) pours water into a filter system as sophomore Megan Partridge collects filtered water to demonstrate a system designed for use in Africa.

The complexity of these issues is a reminder of "the essential relationship between engineering and the liberal arts, and why it is vital that we build on our success in fostering teaching and research that is at once deeply grounded in fundamental scientific knowledge and highly nimble in making connections across the humanities and sciences," Dean of Engineering and Applied Science H. Vincent Poor wrote in the magazine.
With more than 20 percent of faculty members in engineering working on projects related to human health, the brief descriptions in the magazine offer just a snapshot.
Growing the school's strengths in this area will be a key focus in the coming years, Poor said. In 2010, the school changed the name of the chemical engineering department to the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering. The Hoyt Lab, which recently was vacated by the chemistry department, is being renovated to accommodate research in biological engineering. And as Princeton's Aspire campaign — a comprehensive fundraising campaign — concludes this year, raising additional funds for health-related teaching and research is a major priority for the engineering school.
Among the health-related projects at the engineering school, one research center is developing a device that scans a person's skin to reveal his or her blood glucose level, which could provide a major improvement to diabetes care. The project is supported by Princeton's Eric and Wendy Schmidt Transformative Technology Fund. The two images above show the same hand, one in visible light, the second in infrared produced by a quantum cascade laser. The white dot on the forefinger of the lower image shows the infrared beam hitting the skin. Information in the laser light can reveal data about glucose levels without the conventional pin prick and blood test. (Images courtesy of Sabbir Liakat)

GLORY Announces 7 New Fighter Signings, Including Kevin Ross
- Written by Rian Scalia
With DREAM 18/GLORY 4 coming up on New Year's Eve in Japan, GLORY is obviously busy right now, including an announcement on their US TV deal coming tomorrow. As well, they've been signing a bunch of fighters. Today GLORY revealed seven of the new fighters they've signed.
The seven announced fighter signings are as follows:
Kevin Ross (USA)
Stephane Susperregui (France)
Roman Mailov (Ukraine)
Joseph Valtellini (Canada)
Eddie Walker (USA)
Yong Soo Park (South Korea)
Max Baumert (Germany)
The signings of Walker, Mailov and Valtellini had been floating around for a while and now are finally confirmed. In addition, Kevin Ross is a huge addition to their roster and is one of the best and most popular American stand up fighters. Roman Mailov and Max Baumert are two rising prospects that are still very young but have showed great improvement and progress in their careers already. Stephane Susperregui is a very solid 95kg fighter that gave Nathan Corbett one of his toughest fights in a long time and aside from that one loss, has racked up a number of wins this year.

This sounds awful, but it works. I'll swear by it. My wife started calling Turkey-Q.
Take the legs and thighs and put them in a crock pot with 1 TBSP of instant coffee. That's right, instant coffee grounds like Sanka, etc. Cook all day on high or the automatic setting that will reduce temp to low after several hours.
After about 8 hours, or when you get home from work, pull the meat out and discard the nasty coffee water. The meat will literally fall off the bone. Debone and wash all remaining coffee grounds off. Put in a bowl and mix with your favorite BBQ sauce. Makes great BBQ sandwiches.
This is a good recipe for those normally tougher than nails legs and thighs. FYI, coffee turns acidic when it reaches boiling temperature. This is what helps tenderize the meat. That's why coffee makers get hot, but do not boil. Boiled coffee tastes awful.

Latest Headlines is home to all the latest, up to the minute news headlines from The Wall Street Journal in a streaming continuous headline experience.
By Don Clark
Analysts offered caveats about Apple's sales figures. Shown, shoppers look at the iPhone 5C in Thailand.
Apple Inc. may have a hit with its new iPhone 5S, but prospects for the lower-price iPhone 5C are less clear.
Those conclusions emerged after Apple said Monday that it sold nine million of the two handsets in their first three days on the market—well above what analysts had anticipated.
The company also said that its quarterly sales and profit margin would likely be at the high end of the company's previous forecast. Apple in July projected revenue between $34 billion and $37 billion and gross margin between 36% and 37%.
The company's stock jumped $23.23, or 5%, to close at $490.64 on the Nasdaq Stock Market.
Apple also said that more than 200 million of its devices already were running iOS 7—a free overhaul released last week of the operating system used on iPhones, iPads and iPod Touch devices.
Apple's record volume for the new iPhones compared with five million iPhone 5 models sold on its opening weekend a year ago. Analyst had predicted that six million to seven million of this year's models would be sold in the debut weekend.
But there are caveats with the Apple figures, among them the decision to sell the phone in China in the opening weekend this year.
And beyond sales by the company to consumers from its own stores and website, Apple's count includes sales to other retailers. While Apple appears to have exhausted inventory of the iPhone 5S, the nine million units include unsold iPhone 5C models at non-Apple retailers, analysts said.
"If you adjust for the 5C, it's not the blowout that it initially looks like," said Gene Munster, an analyst at Piper Jaffray. He estimated that three million to four million iPhone 5C models are with retailers and that the number of both handsets in the hands of consumers was 5.5 million.
Apple didn't break down its sales other than to say that demand for the iPhone 5S exceeded supply. "Thanks to all our amazing customers for the fantastic weekend," Chief Executive Tim Cook, a new Twitter user, said in a tweet Monday.
Assessing demand for the phones is particularly difficult because more countries are involved this year: 11, compared with nine for the iPhone 5 release last year. And China, in particular, is a huge smartphone market.
Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein, said the original iPhone 5 sold two million units in its first weekend of sales in China. He estimated that China likely contributed a similar amount this year.
The cautions aside, analysts still said the rollout was stronger than they expected, as indicated by longer lines at stores than last year. While some Apple analysts were disappointed that the iPhone 5C wasn't priced low enough to attract a new class of buyers, they said there remained a substantial number of iPhone users who wanted to upgrade their phones and that new trade-in programs made the process less expensive.
"People forget that there is a massive installed base out there," said Brian Marshall, an analyst at ISI International Group. As a result, when "each phone comes out, the launch gets bigger and bigger."
Several signs indicated strong customer preference for the iPhone 5S. Cantor Fitzgerald said its survey of buyers in New York found that 88% bought that model but that Apple's figures suggested that the less-expensive iPhone 5C also sold well.
Boston-based research firm Localytics said data generated from apps downloaded by users over the weekend indicated that the iPhone 5S sold 3.5 times as many units as the 5C.
Raj Aggarwal, the firm's chief executive, cautioned that the initial data didn't necessarily show the long-term prospects for the iPhone 5C since sales on the opening weekend could have been distorted by hard-core buyers. "The people who are excited enough to stand in line on a Friday morning, these are the early adopters," he said. "They are more likely to want the more sophisticated top-end device."

Chritton's father testifies in trial
Madison man accused of abusing, starving daughter
MADISON, Wis. - The father of a Madison man accused of locking his emaciated teenage daughter in the basement testified in his trial Tuesday morning in Dane County Court.
Chad Chritton is charged with party to six felonies, including false imprisonment and child neglect resulting in bodily harm. District Attorney Ismael Ozanne told jurors that the 15-year-old girl was starved and locked in the basement by her family until she wasted away to 68 pounds.
Chritton's father, David Chritton, took the stand Tuesday and described a time when troubles between the young girl and her half-brother prompted a move to her grandparents' home near Minneapolis five years ago.
David Chritton said the girl was timid when she arrived and didn't know how to play, to throw a ball, or ride a bike, but she thrived in their home and turned into a typical 10-year-old
David Chritton said the girl learned to ride bikes and roller blade and loved the attention she got from her grandparents.
"One of the things that she really enjoyed when she was living up with her, is that my wife would brush her hair every day and her face would just beam because of the attention she was getting," David Chritton said.
David Chritton said when he saw the girl again after more time in Madison, she was quiet and would only speak to him when spoken to.

Wolf messing was always trying to speak less about the future, especially to prophesy. It is limited to answers to questions, from which because of the circumstances just simply could not avoid. His foresight of the future, especially concerning public, social, social upheaval was recorded in a personal archive. He kept records. First and foremost for myself and second for posterity. His most famous prophecies about the beginning and then the end of the war was known to contemporaries and has reached our days, less well — known mainly through books of the journalists, which at the time met him. The archive after his death was seized and is still kept classified as «top secret».
Available and the predictions associated with the future, only those relating to the collapse of the USSR. To the seventies of the last century, a prediction was incredible and believable enough: «after 20 years, this country will not even…Russia will become a free country!»
To date no predictions of wolf messing about the future of Russia, no! At least, not yet declassified its files.
If the audience his extraordinary sessions and view asked him about the future of Russia, for example, in the 21st century, and they and possible in our present we found out about it. But all interested in present and near future, which directly relates to the man personally. Would you be interested in future years after 50, which may no longer be if you had the opportunity to talk to the great seer and a time of fellowship would be limited?
As for wolf messing, he believed, were simply convinced that people should not know their future, and to the question: «what will happen?» could not restrain, he said,»Never ask me about it! Never and no one! People can't know the future.

Biehl gives first talk in President's Lecture Series
Posted February 26, 2009; 01:39 p.m.
The first talk in the 2008-09 President's Lecture Series will feature João Biehl, a professor of anthropology, speaking on "Social Innovation in Global Health: When People Come First" at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 3, in 101 Friend Center.
Biehl's talk will explore the limits of "magic-bullet" approaches to global health problems and the advantages of "people-centered" initiatives. Biehl will draw from his study of Brazil's effort to universalize access to life-saving AIDS therapies and the repercussions of this initiative throughout the country's government, markets, health systems and personal lives. He also will report on a project to study global AIDS treatments that he is undertaking with undergraduate and graduate students through Princeton's Grand Challenges Program.
Biehl's talk is the first of two scheduled for this year's President's Lecture Series. Leonard Barkan, the Arthur W. Marks '19 Professor of Comparative Literature, will deliver the second talk, titled "Did Eating Have a Renaissance? Mapping a Scholarly Itinerary From Past to Repast," at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 14, in 101 Friend.
The lecture series was started by President Tilghman in 2001 to bring together faculty members from different disciplines to learn about the work others are doing in a variety of fields.
The talks will be webcast; for viewing information, visit the Webmedia site.

The other thing we will have to factor in before making any move is the increase in federal taxes due to a reduction in deductions.
The other thing we will have to factor in before making any move is the increase in federal taxes due to a reduction in deductions.
Here is a table that summarizes all 50 state tax burdens.
Looks like they do it on a taxes paid per capita basis.
I wonder how long you will have to realize tax savings in order to break even on the cost of your move...
Something to think about.

Also Need to take into consideration the tax's you actual end up paying in the state. What is shown on the tax tables here and what you actually end up paying after filling out the individual tax forms on a given income can be radically different between states. I original filed in Minnesota years ago. One year I received extra pay and Bonus's that Jumped me way up in State tax's owed. I Was told to fill out the California forms as a State resident. I saved about 2/3's of money that I would have had to send to Minnesota over the next 11 years. And as added bonus saved a Fortune in college tuition. About 14 years ago had to assume South Carolina residency and my tax jumped back up but not as bad as it would have been in Minnesota. I think you might get the picture, The charts only indicate an amount to pay on a specified quantity. That specified quantity is arrived at very differently in each state for the same income.

Our first T&TH forum hunt has come to an end. The birds were a bit on the tough side this year here in WI. We had 6 guys in camp this year, and a lot of fun was had by all. We ended up only taking two birds, Shane's and Treerooster's. The bird Shane took was his first WI. bird and his largest to date, 21.6, 10" beard, 1-1/16" spurs, it was our biggest bird between the guys. We had 2 misses shots on birds, and quite a few passed up birds (marginal shots or jakes). We only had 1 member that did not have a bird come in that he could work, and I blame myself for that, we bumped the 2 gobblers we located by trying to get in to close on the roost. Plans are in the works for next years hunt, we plan on moving it up earlier, so the birds aren't beat up quite as bad. I believe everyone had a good time and learned a few new thing about public land birds. Hope to see you guys back again next time.
Thanks Scott

Betty Crocker's Heart Healthy Cookbook shares a recipe! Enjoy this nutty quinoa-almond salad recipe that's ready in less than an hour – perfect for a side dish.
To toast nuts, bake uncovered in ungreased shallow pan in 350° oven about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown. Or cook in ungreased heavy skillet over medium-low heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until browning begins, then stirring constantly until golden brown.
"The addition of almonds and other nuts to my diet helps lower cholesterol, and this colorful salad is a great way to add them." Wanda S.
Adding toasted nuts to grains, such as quinoa, really brings out the flavor. Quinoa is higher in unsaturated (good) fats and lower in carbohydrates than most grains and is considered a complete protein, so there are many reasons to include it in a heart-healthy diet.

Suzuki to speak on sustainability
Posted February 8, 2008; 11:49 p.m.
Environmental activist David Suzuki, host of the Canadian Broadcasting Co.'s popular television series "The Nature of Things," will discuss sustainability issues in two events scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 12.
Suzuki will present a lecture titled "Sustainability: The Real Challenge" at 8 p.m. in McCosh 50. He will offer his views on why humans have not created effective strategies to sustain the environment despite 40 years of warnings from experts, and will present suggestions of how to develop a path of sustainability.
Prior to the lecture, Suzuki will join climate change expert Michael Oppenheimer, Princeton's Albert G. Milbank Professor of Geosciences and International Affairs, in a question-and-answer session from 3:30 to 5 p.m. in the Forbes College Multipurpose Room.
Suzuki is an acclaimed scientist and broadcaster who is renowned for his radio and television programs that explain the complexities of the natural sciences. He also is cofounder and chair of the David Suzuki Foundation, which promotes efforts to conserve nature and help achieve sustainability.
Suzuki, a geneticist, in 1972 won the E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship for the outstanding research scientist in Canada under the age of 35 and has received numerous academic awards. He has written 43 books, including 17 for children.
Suzuki has received many awards during his 30 years in broadcasting, most notably for "The Nature of Things," which he has hosted since 1979. He also developed an eight-part television series, "A Planet for the Taking," which was honored by the United Nations, as well as an eight-part series for U.S. public television on "The Secret of Life" and a five-part series for the Discovery Channel on "The Brain."
For his leadership in sustainable ecology, Suzuki also has received UNESCO's Kalinga Prize for Science and the United Nations Environment Program Medal.
Suzuki's talks are sponsored by the Princeton Canadian Club, the Canadian Studies Program and the Princeton Environmental Institute, and cosponsored by the Office of Sustainability, Outdoor Action, Forbes College and the Program in Science, Technology and Environmental Policy.

As I mentioned earlier today, Intel's (INTC) announcement yesterday of a new family of server chips, dubbed "S1200," which are supposed to be more energy-efficient for large-scale data center servers, has sparked some debate among analysts as to whether the company is ahead of the competition using designs from ARM Holdings (ARMH), including Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Nvidia (NVDA).
The most positive remarks today came from Wells Fargo's David Wong, who rates Intel shares Outperform, with a $28 to $33 valuation range, noting that Intel has signed up Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), Dell (DELL), and China's Huawei to use the chips.
The chips, starting at $54, are cheaper than Intel's existing server processor offerings, but Wong thinks price difference can be more than made up for by volumes sold of the chips:
Intel presented a slide showing HP data indicating that the Atom S1200 chips deliver higher performance per watt than Intel's Xeon E3 counterparts in light scale-out applications, while more compute intensive applications see higher performance per watt from Intel's Xeon E3 processors than from the new S1200 processors. Another slide showed an example of how Intel might receive around $32,900 in revenue for a Xeon LV E3 server rack and around $35,800 in revenue for an Atom S1200 based server rack, suggesting that the ASP difference between the Xeon and Atom processors is more than offset by the 5x number of Atom processors per rack in a typical server rack configuration.
Intel has a technology edge, Wong believes, given its ready support for 64-bit instructions:
In offering a 64-bit Atom processor today, we think that Intel has a 1-2 year lead over any
competition that might come from an ARM-based processor. We do not expect
widespread availability of 64-bit ARM-based server chips till 2014 at the earliest.
More important, however, to Wong, is that investors have failed to grasp how these chips, based on Intel's "Atom" architecture, fits into a broader strategy for Atom, which was originally just a smartphone chip:
This latest introduction of Intel's Atom server chip is another step in the buildout of Intel's strategy for Atom. Although Intel initially targeted netbooks as the main market for Atom, the company's long-term strategy was always to add different types of circuitry to the Atom processor core to develop different types of system-onchip (SOC) products for various markets.

Kenya: Highest malnutrition in a decade, crisis to continue well into 2012
UN and aid agencies appealed today for US$764 million to help nearly four million people cope with drought, rising food prices and poverty in Kenya.
The crisis has left millions of people with limited access to food and water, and some areas now have the highest malnutrition rate recorded in a decade. And as many as 385,000 children under five are malnourished.
Kenya's crisis has been exacerbated by the arrival of nearly 600,000 Somali refugees, fleeing drought and conflict back home. Their presence is putting a growing strain on Kenyan resources, and causing tensions between local and refugee communities. Insecurity is mounting along the border and affecting aid delivery.
"Kenya has been disproportionately affected in this regard, being host to the world's largest refugee camp. More than 160,000 new arrivals have been registered since January, mostly in Dadaab," said Aeneas C. Chuma, the UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Kenya, during the launch of the 2012 funding appeal in Nairobi.
More than half of the funding will be used to help refugees, while the rest will provide food aid and ensure investments in agriculture, education and disaster risk reduction to communities in Kenya.

Not sure when exactly the buzzer sounds today 5/22 the last day of Wisconsin's 2012 spring season. But some time between sunrise and sunset it sounds.
There were no turkeys sounds anywhere, not even any distant ones I could detect, the crows and owls were very subdued; I trolled a few ridges and valleys that usually hold turkeys--nothing but quiet. Fall hunting has taught me the turkeys are still there and with all the thick foliage they are easy to walk right past. So the only option was to setup in a likely spot and call. I did for an hour with the squirms of doubt closing in on the edges of my mind, thoughts started wandering to the upcoming fall season how happy Vic will be to; instead of begging/praying to go with.
It has been a great spring season so I pack my calls into my vest, squirms and doubts got the best of me, time to call it a season. A deer approaches quickly from across the field, the young buck stops 20 paces from me. What the heck I'll take time to take his picture......
Movement out on the horizon distracts my eyes, its a turkey out wandering around, dang calls are in my vest, can't move much, fish the DoRal out, it only clucks well but the turkey turns and starts for my position. It is just a hen, I decide to play with her and cluck each time she looks away. More movement to the right, another hen and a sight to behold a strutter-way out of range though. More clucks each time the turkeys are not looking, they begin to purposefully close the distance and the fourth turkey is a tom who never struts.
Of course the strutter looked bigger and at 20 yards in an open plowed field the deal is done.
25 lbs with 12.5" beard, no spur on one leg and 1/2" broken on the second.
Dang was I lucky the deer showed up or I would have done something I never do; quit early.
Any other buzzer birds? Or stories?

|Fidget, pace, bounce a foot, twirl your hair, fiddle with the phone cord...those small muscle movements act like exercise, burning off damaging stress hormones during tense times, says cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, M.D., author of Reverse Heart Disease Now. And research at Rochester's Mayo Clinic suggests that people who fidget a lot increase their fat-burning metabolic rate by as much as 40 percent. The reason: Constant body movements stimulate the brain's release hormones that boost your ability to burn stored fat for energy.

|Spending 20 minutes chatting with a trusted friend about other people's news (and, yes, even their minor misfortunes) helps 96 percent of people squash feelings of stress, tension and anxiety for up to four hours straight, say researchers at Rhode Island's Brown University. Even better? Women who spread positive, uplifting gossip found their depression alleviated by up to 72 percent within three months. "Speaking positively about others stimulates women's natural bonding instincts," explains Scott Haltzman, M.D., author of "The Secrets of Happy Families." "And that revs up your brain's production of powerful, mood-elevating antidepressant hormones." See, it pays to be nice!

|Cookies? Sure! Pie? Why not?! Research at Virginia Commonwealth University shows that women who focus on a hearty, filling breakfast without worrying about a.m. calories can lose at least three times more weight than those loyally devoted to their bran flakes. Yes, even if they eat sweets! A hearty morning meal that finishes with a little treat actually prods the brain to produce lots of mood-boosting serotonin during the day, explains lead researcher Daniela Jacubowicz, M.D., author of "The Big Breakfast Diet." "And serotonin dampens hunger pangs, cuts carb cravings in half and speeds fat-burning by 25 percent for 11 hours or more."

|Almost 75 percent of women put off their to-dos once in a while -- and one in four do it daily, according to a study at Canada's University of Calgary. And it turns out those breaks for Angry Birds may be beneficial to their health!
Research at Germany's University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf suggests that taking a restful break from the bedlam (to check out Facebook or Pinterest, read funny emails) boosts production of compounds that nix aches and pains in as little as eight minutes. Study authors suggest breaking up tedious tasks with several short breaks (instead of one long one) so the painkilling effect can last all day.

|Don't feel guilty about not keeping the place pristine clean. Regularly scouring your kitchen with antibacterial sprays can actually increase your risk of being exposed to dangerous drug-resistant bugs, say University of Michigan researchers. What gives? While those sprays can kill some germs, they are useless against the feistiest, truly dangerous ones -- which grow like wildfire once the weaker bugs aren't there to crowd them out. To play it safe, simply wipe down surfaces with regular dish soap and hot water after cooking. Then, once weekly, quick spritz with bleach, which destroys even drug-resistant bugs in less than 60 seconds, suggest Tufts University researchers.

|Recent research at the Missouri University of Science and Technology suggests that constantly coating yourself with sunscreen could actually increase your risk of skin cancer! One of the reasons, say the Missouri researchers: Some of today's common sunscreen ingredients are chemically changed when they're blasted with UV light -- and the byproducts they produce can damage your skin if you're exposed to them nonstop. "Plus constantly wearing sunscreen stops your skin from making vitamin D -- a nutrient that actually stops skin cells from turning cancerous," adds Michael Holick, M.D., professor of medicine at Boston University. To protect yourself: Soak up 15 minutes of sunshine every day before slathering on your sunscreen -- and if you'll be outdoors for less time than that, you can skip the stuff entirely, Dr. Holick says.

Saving the Bay through education, advocacy, litigation, and restoration.
The Town of Easton and Easton Utilities received high honors from EPA for the excellent operation and Maintenance of Easton's wastewater treatment plant, which showed an 81 percent reduction in nitrogen discharge last year. Photo credit City of Easton
Largely because of pollution from excess nitrogen and phosphorus, the Chesapeake Bay and its tidal rivers are on the Clean Water Act's list of impaired waters.
Nitrogen and phosphorus pollution causes algae blooms that block sunlight to underwater grasses and remove oxygen from the water, creating "dead zones"—areas of the Bay that have too little oxygen to support a healthy ecosystem. (Get real-time data about water quality from the Maryland Department of Natural Resources). These problems degrade habitat for key plants and animals in the Bay's ecosystem, including underwater grasses, crabs, rockfish, and oysters.
The Chesapeake 2000 Agreement—signed by Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the District of Columbia, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)—committed to take actions that were necessary to remove the Bay and its tidal tributaries from the impaired waters list by 2010. To accomplish this, EPA has calculated that nitrogen loads must be reduced by 110 million pounds each year from the year 2000's levels. By upgrading sewage treatment plants (STP) in the Bay watershed with nutrient removal technology (NRT), we can achieve approximately 20 percent of the necessary pollution load reductions. This is one of the most cost-effective ways to clean up the Bay.
To achieve this goal, the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (CBF) is:
CBF issued a report that offers citizens comprehensive information on how much nitrogen pollution is coming from major STPs in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In addition, A "Lot" for Less, a report prepared for CBF by Clifford W. Randall, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of Environmental Engineering, Virginia Tech, concludes that implementation of nitrogen removal technology could be accomplished for 50 to 60 percent less than current projected costs.
In 2004 in Maryland, CBF helped pass the Bay Restoration Fund, which established a fund to upgrade the state's 66 major sewer plants. Later, the fund also was used to upgrade on-site septic systems. Originally, each Maryland household paid $2.50 to the fund. In 2012, the Maryland General Assembly increased the fee to $5 a month.
In Virginia, over the past six years the legislature has approved more than a half-billion dollars in state funding or bond money for sewage treatment plant upgrades. As substantial as this funding has been, it remains short of what is needed by localities to meet Virginia's water quality goals. CBF continues to advocate for sufficient state assistance to local wastewater treatment plants to meet Chesapeake Bay blueprint goals for 2017 and beyond.
In 2008, CBF's Pennsylvania office and partners garnered public support for the passage of the Pennsylvania Fair Share for Clean Water Plan. This comprehensive funding package was designed to help improve local water quality and also meet Bay obligations. In total, the Plan made available $1.2 billion in grants and loans for upgrades to water and wastewater treatment plants.
CBF has filed several legal challenges to force the EPA, along with Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, to comply with the Clean Water Act and require enforceable permit limits on nitrogen and phosphorus pollution from sewage treatment and industrial plants. CBF is currently tracking new and revised permits in Maryland, Virginia, and Pennsylvania to ensure that the states comply with this requirement.
Sewage overflows continue to pollute Baltimore City waterways, fish kills and the repugnant smell of human waste foul the Inner Harbor when the weather warms. But raw sewage is not just a water quality issue; it's a human health concern as well. And it doesn't begin or end in the Inner Harbor. All of Baltimore's neighborhoods and river systems are affected. If that's not enough, city officials don't have an accurate accounting of the hundreds of millions of dollars paid by rate payers to fix the problem.

Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein produced by the liver and yolk sac of a fetus. AFP has no normal function in adults. The alpha fetoprotein test (AFP) is a blood test performed to measure, diagnose, or monitor fetal distress or fetal abnormalities. It can also detect some liver disorders and some cancers in adults.
During pregnancy, this test, along with the examination of amniotic fluid (amniocentesis), can help detect fetal spinal bifida or other defects of the fetus' neural tube.
The AFP test involves taking a blood sample. Blood is drawn from a vein (venipuncture), usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
Usually, there is little pain associated with a blood drawing. When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate discomfort, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation.
There are few risks with this test:
Normal AFP levels for men for for non-pregnant women are less than 300 nanograms per milliliter.
Greater-than-normal levels of AFP in men and non-pregnant women may indicate:
During pregnancy, increased levels of AFP may indicate:

Charles Mattocks, celebrity chef and IDF Blue Circle Champion, will head back out on the road this October and November for a new three month RV tour. Due to an overwhelmingly positive response to his first tour, Charles will now take his RV from New York to California with about 30 stops in between.
This tour will focus on the Southern US States or as the media has called it the "Diabetes Belt" of America. Charles will be stopping at military bases to offer expert advice to US veterans for whom diabetes is a big healthcare concern.
Stops will also include hospitals, schools, churches and ADA, JDRF events. The aim is to educate and inspire millions across the country. Speaking on the importance of the tour, Charles said "millions of people lose their lives to diabetes and seem to go unnoticed. We have to change that, we have to fight for these people and equip them with the necessary tools and education so they can continue to fight diabetes after the RV has gone".
Diabetes educators, physicians and other healthcare professionals will be on the tour to offer timely advice. Charles is confident that this new tour will pick up where he left off and take diabetes awareness to the "next level".
The tour will also provide Charles with the opportunity to shoot final scenes for his global documentary movie 'The Diabetic You', a project which has taken him around the world following the lives of people with diabetes.

The combination of rich ingredients produces a decadent, caramel-soaked cake that's sure to be a hit!
The cake may stick to the wooden spoon handle while you're using it to make the holes, so occasionally wipe off the handle.
The caramel topping will be easier to drizzle if it has been kept at room temperature. If refrigerated, spoon caramel into microwavable bowl; microwave uncovered on High about 15 seconds.
Instead of the toffee bits or chips, coarsely chop 5 bars (1.4 oz each) chocolate-covered English toffee candy, and sprinkle on top of the cake.

Sometimes the common name of a species makes perfect sense; the Bald Eagle is one obvious example. But sometimes a name tells us more about the fickle nature of humans than about the creature it describes. Test your knowledge of common names with a special eNature quiz.
Q. What's a daddy-long-legs?
A. It depends on a person's location. In England the term is used to describe a type of spider, usually in the family Pholcidae, common in homes and other buildings. These are the spindly legged spiders often seen hanging in messy webs near ceilings. Americans call them Cellar Spiders.
A daddy-long-legs stateside is another type of arachnid, in the order Opiliones, also known as Harvestmen. These creatures are found outdoors, usually in moist, dark places where they hide during the day. While they look like spiders and have eight legs, they're not spiders.
There's also a type of fly that's referred to as a daddy-long-legs. These insects are more appropriately called crane flies -- a reference to their long legs, similar to those of the birds called cranes. These flies are also known as mosquito hawks or mosquito eaters. And though crane flies resemble mosquitoes, they could never eat one because they lack functional mouth parts as adults.
Q. What's the difference between the Eastern Towhee, the Spotted Towhee, and the Rufous-sided Towhee?
A. Time is the main factor with these bird names. Originally the Eastern Towhee and the Spotted Towhee were considered distinct species. Biologists later decided that these were simply two forms, or subspecies, of a single species, the Rufous-sided Towhee. More recently, though, opinion has swung back, and current field guides again recognize the Eastern Towhee in the East and the Spotted Towhee in the West.
Q: What do the Long-tailed Duck, the Northern Pikeminnow, and the Gray Pine have in common?
A. The common names of these three species have been modified to eliminate terms that were disrespectful to Native Americans. The Long-tailed Duck was formerly known as the Oldsquaw, the Northern Pikeminnow used to be known as the Northern Squawfish, and the Gray Pine was called the Digger Pine, a term applied to several tribes of California natives who dug for edible roots and bulbs.
Q: What's the difference between the Prairie Rattlesnake, the Northern Pacific Rattlesnake, and the Great Basin Rattlesnake?
A. These are all forms of a single species, the Western Rattlesnake. Each is a distinct subspecies that occupies a different geographic region. The Western Rattlesnake is also known as the Timber Rattlesnake in the Sierra Nevada and the Rockies -- a misnomer because the true Timber Rattlesnake exists only east of the Rockies. Such is the problem with a lot of folk names or regionalisms.
Q: What's the difference between Steelhead and Rainbow Trout?
A. These two names refer to the same species. Inland versions of the fish that remain in freshwater all their lives are called Rainbow Trout, while coastal forms that migrate to the ocean and return to streams to spawn are called Steelhead.
Even more confusing is the history of the scientific name of the species. Prior to 1989, the fish was officially known as Salmo gairdneri, and now it's Oncorhynchus mykiss. Why? Paleontologists looking at fossil evidence concluded that certain "trout" were actually more like Pacific Salmon, which are in the genus Oncorhynchus. The species name was changed when someone realized that a specimen collected in Asia and named mykiss at the time was actually the same species. Because the name mykiss appeared first, it was then applied to all members of the species.
Confused? You're not alone. But take comfort in the knowledge that no matter where you live or what you call it, the beautiful black, white, and red towhee scuffling in the leaf litter is as fascinating to watch as ever.

Found a wave of 12" AOTC figures this morning at the St. Ann Wal*Mart. The wave included Obi-Wan, Anakin, and the Clone Trooper. I found them right above a floor decal about EPII. The floor decal had something about Jedi Training Days and of course Episide II merchandise available April 23...oh well!!! With the pressure that Wal*Mart puts on their managers about sales it does not surprise me that items are showing up early. Get it in and get it out the door!!!
Don't bother heading over there because a fellow toy collector bought the other set while I was there. There was only one case of six figures, two of each. Happy hunting!!!
