Each year, more than 190,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, the incidence of breast cancer in the United States has decreased by about two percent from 1999 to 2006. The reason for the decrease is not completely understood.
Knowing the risk factors for breast cancer may help you take preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of developing the disease.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer. Not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. If you think you may be at risk, you should discuss it with your doctor.
We use genomic tumor assessment to examine a patient's tumor on a genetic level. This innovative tool can help us find what's driving the cancer's growth and offer patients more precise treatment.

The open road beckons travelers to New Zealand's sparsely populated South Island, explored by writer Carrie Miller and photographer Palani Mohan for "Caravaning Kiwiland," a feature story in Traveler's September 2009 special issue on road trips. In the article, Miller and a friend travel by caravan, or motor home, for a seven-day adventure through the heart of the South Island landscape, starting in Queenstown, going up the West Coast, climbing over remote Arthur's Pass, on to the East Coast, and doubling back to the city of Christchurch, with its standout gardens and parks.
Photograph by Palani Mohan
Roses bloom in the garden of La Belle Villa, a Victorian bed-and-breakfast in Akaroa, which is "famous for two things," writes Miller. "It's the site of an 1840 attempt by France to claim New Zealand for her own; and Hector's dolphins, among the world's smallest and rarest, and found only in New Zealand waters."
Photograph by Palani Mohan
Swimmers enjoy a lazy summer day (in mid-February) on Lake Wanaka, along the route described in Traveler's September feature, "Caravaning Kiwiland." Author Miller writes: "A 90-minute drive takes us from Wanaka on a looping ribbon of road that winds between Lakes Wanaka and Hawea, past Fantail and Thunder Creek Falls, over Haast Pass, and into the enveloping rain forest. The mountainsides are veined with waterfalls."

Sightseers make their way through the vertical landscape of glacier-carved Fiordland National Park in the southwest corner of New Zealand's South Island. In 1990 Fiordland was listed as a United Nations World Heritage site and given the name Te Wahipounamu—"the place of greenstone"—after the area's most treasured mineral resource.
Photograph by Palani Mohan
Kayakers paddle the waters in Fiordland National Park, the largest of New Zealand's 14 national parks at nearly 5,000 square miles. "Whenever possible," writes Miller, "I return to this brooding place for an overnight cruise in one of the sounds. Kayaks are lowered for travelers to explore the shoreline. The ocean is an inky black-green."
Photograph by Palani Mohan
A group of young travelers from Switzerland relax at a campsite near Akaroa. Miller describes the caravan she used for this assignment: "It's cunningly designed: Two long bench seats double as a queen-size bed and storage for bedding and dishes. The back hatch hides a tiny kitchen, complete with sink, mini-fridge, and stove." Then she adds: "In these parks, there is company if you want it, solitude if you don't."

Tourists enjoy a jet boat thrill ride through the canyons of the Shotover River near Queenstown, the unofficial "Adventure Capital of the World." Among the sports on offer here are bungee-jumping, paragliding, white-water sledging, snow-boarding, and heli-hiking.

Hikers traverse Fox Glacier in New Zealand's Westland National Park, which encompasses some 140 glaciers. The Fox Glacier is unusual in that it is surrounded by subtemperate rain forest and is close to the ocean. This geography creates conditions conducive to glacier formation, meaning the glaciers in Westland grow quickly.
Photograph by Palani Mohan
Local resident Marc Richards walks his dog in lush Wanaka Station Park near the town of Wanaka. "New Zealand unveils wave after wave of jaw-dropping landscapes," says writer Miller, "one moment serene and pastoral, the next surging with the upheaval of snowcapped mountains more than 10,000 feet tall."

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 117
isnt it weird that we're not comfortable enough to let people we're supposedly close to (i.e family) read our zines... or people who are supposedly our friends don't care enough about it?
is that really a trend with zines? where people who dont know us are more interested in what we do? and we relate and connect more in a way with people we only meet through zines or online?
I only give them to friends who'd be into that kind of thing, but my zines aren't really personal, so I can see why you'd feed totally differently if you wrote a really personal, confessional type zine. I often don't tell people I do zines, not because I'm secretive about it, I'm just bored of explaining what a zine is and why I bother doing one.

Kansas City Mayor Sly James announced a new initiative to cut climate pollution from the city's buildings. It's a 10-city effort that, over time, could save Kansas City businesses as much as $55 million annually and cut energy consumption by the equivalent of 29,000 households each year, according to a press release issued by the mayor's office.
This effort, the City Energy Project, is an initiative from the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Institute for Market Transformation. It will concentrate on where the real energy consumption comes from: buildings. According to the Institute for Market Transformation, 60 percent of Kansas City's carbon emissions come from the actual buildings that make up the city's skyline, far exceeding what is produced by transportation and industrial areas. Much of the energy that these buildings use is wasted and wastes millions of dollars, the institute said .
The City Energy Project aims to solve that problem by working with city governments and business leaders to promote efficient building operations, advocate private investment and encourage transparency on each building's energy efficiency.
Cliff Majersik, executive director at Institute for Market Transformation, said, "This is a great way for all the cities to come together and pick each other's brains on ways to make their buildings more energy efficient."
He said The City Energy Project will hire an energy efficiency expert to work in Mayor James' office to help guide the city and its businesses on retrofitting old buildings to become more energy efficient.
"The skyline is the solution to the (energy) waste problem in almost every large city," Majersik said.

I've done some research on foamers, I'm skewed torwards cork/wood decoys first. I've done some rough research regarding the process and am going to give it a try after season this year.
For a alternative to a band saw I could use a coping saw or draw knife. Then I would need some type of sealant and of course paint. Down the road possibly a wood burner. What are some other things I'm missing? Just the necessities since I'm just starting. Thanks guys.

"I'm extremely happy with the final product and the service Tiny Prints provided. My cards arrived extremely quickly and I love them!"
"I really liked everything about the card. My only wish is that I was able to write a message on the back - especially since it's a pool party and wanted to add additional info about rain location etc."
"This invite is super sweet for a little girl. The colors are right on and the fact you can put pictures on the back are great. The paper quality on the normal paper is excellent, nice and thick. I got the scalloped edges which give it such a dainty look. I absolutely love it."
"Very Cute and Very Nice. Bought this as a sample for bday invite consideration. This was my top choice when received - Love the color, we got this with the pearlized/shimmer finish, which is especially nice with this design but is not necessary. The shimmer finish is front and back, if wondering. The design on the back is also nice and light enough to be written on in dark ink, if you are wanting to add your own message to the back for whatever reason. Overall, I love it. Ultimately, the bday girl (age 7 - going on 8) chose a different invite design."
"I ordered these with the opal shine, which adds a nice touch worth the tiny extra. I received lots of compliments from other moms on how cute the invite was! Went perfect from my daughters pool party under the sea theme! I know Tiny Prints is part of shutterfly now but tiny prints quality is definitely a step above shutterfly"

New agreement enhances global applicability of (ISC)²'s cyber security professional certifications and courses
ISF Annual Congress, Chicago & London, U.K: (ISC)² ("ISC-squared") last week reinforced its commitment to ensuring the global currency of its professional certifications - including CISSP®, CSSLP®, CAP®, and SSCP® - and its education programme with an expanded agreement to access Information Security Forum (ISF) research in the development of its examinations and official education materials. (ISC)² is the world's largest information security professional membership body and global leader in information security education and certification. ISF, which typically maintains a closed library for its corporate members, will make its research available to (ISC)²'s examination and course development teams, giving them access to experiential research, particularly in the topic area of privacy, and enhancing the global applicability of (ISC)² credentials and education programmes.
(ISC)² certifications are based on the (ISC)² CBK®, a collection of global information security topics, which is developed and maintained through ongoing polling of the organisation's more than 87,000 certified members around the world. To confirm its relevance to real-world scenarios and eligibility for the CBK, (ISC)² validates the knowledge gained through this process with its membership and credible external sources.
The Information Security Forum (ISF) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation with a membership comprising many of the world-leading companies featured on the Fortune 500 and Forbes 2,000 lists. Since its inception 23 years ago, member organisations have worked within a trusted and confidential environment to share in-depth knowledge and practical experience, and produce an extensive library of research, benchmarks, and standards that address systems and information risk management, security challenges, and privacy issues that impact business.
"An organisation that has developed on a similar ethos to our own, (ISC)² has set the benchmark for professional practice in information security. As the security landscape moves from an emphasis on securing systems and infrastructure towards one that is much more dependent on individual and corporate competencies, we welcome the opportunity to work collaboratively to support the development of a collective knowledge base professionals can all draw from," says Michael de Crespigny, ISF's chief executive officer.
In addition to topic-focused research, the ISF library enriches (ISC)²'s repository of case histories for its certification programmes. It supports (ISC)²'s intent to develop realistic and interactive, scenario-based questions in the examinations, facilitated by the move in September of this year to administer all examinations through computer-based testing. The writing team will gain access to the repository during development workshops through (ISC)²'s new Learning Management System (LMS) that will allow workshop participants from around the world to collaborate.
"(ISC)² is committed to increasing the level of scenario-based content in the examinations, which calls for test takers to demonstrate their ability to make judgment calls, a core competency for information security professionals today. Through this agreement, we have also strengthened our ability to support a global viewpoint on issues such as privacy, where laws tend to be very regional or country-specific," says W. Hord Tipton, CISSP-ISSEP, CAP, CISA, executive director, (ISC)². "ISF has evolved from being a ground-breaking to a world-class organisation that today is respected as an industry benchmark. This agreement puts the strength of two world-leading bodies behind the development of skilled professionals and the businesses and communities they work to protect."

Aaron Ramsey was as disappointed as anyone after last Saturday's result and performance at Loftus Road - but he believes the run that preceded it provides plenty of grounds for optimism.
The Gunners went into the QPR game on the back of seven consecutive Premier League wins, and the Welshman says that such a sparkling sequence of results probably heightened the frustration at dropping three points against the west London side.
Ramsey also rejects any idea that the hosts were more motivated than Arsène Wenger's men.
"They're obviously fighting for survival at the moment and it was a big three points for them," he told this Sunday's Official Matchday Programme.
"But I don't think it's fair that we didn't want to win. It wasn't happening for us but we were trying, and it was just one of those days.
"It's important to keep perspective. We've been in such good form and that's probably why everyone, including all of the players, is disappointed by the performance we gave last Saturday."
For the second successive away game, Ramsey played in a relatively unfamiliar left-sided position. He enjoyed more success in the first, a 1-0 win against Everton, where he believes he should have added to his tally of three goals this term.
"The boss just asked me to drift, get on the ball and into little pockets," he said.
"That's what I've tried to do, and I think I played well at Everton - where we were definitely better on the day than at QPR.
"I certainly had some chances up there, but it's not just at Everton - I've had a few! I've been getting into the positions, but one thing I need to improve on is my composure in front of goal. It's so frustrating because I really should be putting the ball away.
"I think I could have easily reached double figures this season if I'd taken my chances, but I'll learn from it and I'm sure it'll click soon."

Bill Goodman's One to One interview with Rep. Thomas Massie airs on KET tonight at 6:30 ET.
Kentucky's 4th District Rep. Thomas Massie began his service in Washington under a rare political scenario back in 2012. He won a special and general election on the same day to fill the vacancy left by retiring Congressman Geoff Davis. He was sworn into office immediately after the November election –a trajectory that explains the "freshmore" nomenclature.
In a crowded field of seven Republicans with the Tea Party winds and Greenbacks firmly at his back, Massie bested the two more politically well-heeled candidates: State Rep. Alecia Webb-Edgington and Boone County Judge/Executive Gary Moore for the win last year. If the victory was a surprise to some political observers and pundits, imagine the shrills of disbelief when he refused to back John Boehner as Speaker of the House and subsequently voted 'no' on a Hurricane Sandy relief measure. Massie's maverick moves of going rogue in the Republican Party have earned him the nickname "Mr. No."
A relative newcomer to politics, Massie earned his first electoral victory in 2010 as Lewis County Judge/Executive. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineering graduate with two dozen patents under his belt, tells Bill Goodman tonight at 6:30 ET how he relies on his engineering background to analyze legislation. Rep. Massie says he doesn't operate on intuition, but facts. He adds that his policy making motivations are not to broker deals, but mine solutions. He also complains of the lack of time lawmakers actually are afforded to read bills before acting and how the moniker of "Mr. No" needs some correcting.
Visitors to his Washington office get a blunt reminder of Rep. Massie's top priority: debt reduction. A large flat screen monitor, showing nothing more than upward-ticking national debt numbers approaching $17 trillion, greets you as you enter his office in the Cannon House building. Assuming a minimalist spartan approach to office decorating that matches his preference for less government spending, the only Kentucky memento to be found is a hemp pillow with "My Old Kentucky Home" embroidered in black stitch. On a coffee table flanking his desk is a prominently displayed press release on hemp paper announcing his introduction of an industrial hemp bill on February 6th of this year. Most members of the Kentucky delegation are backing measures in Congress to legalize hemp or push for a federal waiver to allow Kentucky to grow it.
Bill Goodman talks with Rep. Massie about industrial hemp, immigration, why he thinks the sequester is a clumsy way of dealing with government spending, and why he's frustrated by what he says are federal lawmakers' "propensity to abandon ideology to pursue some fixed partisan goal."
Watch the entire interview tonight at 6:30 ET on KET. Tomorrow night, the special One to One series with Kentucky's federal delegation continues with Rep. Hal Rogers.

Little Free Libraries hope to keep kids reading
Books for kids that live far from public libraries
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - Hunters Creek Elementary School students have a big opportunity with the Little Free Library Program. The newly built storage units look like giant mail boxes, but they have book inside.
"A lot of our students live a good distance away from the public library. It's not within walking distance to their homes. They needed access to books," said Mary Dyer, school principal.
The books are donated by the community and traditional libraries. Kids of all ages can walk up, open the doors and grab a book any time they want. The Little Free Libraries are built by volunteers, and one is built by the school's robotics team.
"We screwed the screws in. We painted the pieces. We spray painted other pieces. We even put hinges on the door, " said Jonathan Hooper, a 4th grade student.
There are two Little Free Libraries in the small Jacksonville communities such as Holiday City Mobile Home Park. Managers say kids stop by the little library before coming home.
"A lot of children will get off the bus or come to the mailbox, walk up to the little library on their own and check out books. We just enjoy seeing the kids being active and reading," said Krystal Hochstrasser.
One person is deemed the Little Free "Librarian", and they make sure their wooden box is always stocked.
"It helps kids to keep reading and do better in school," said Jada Anderson, a 4th grade student.
It's a way to make sure the learning doesn't stop before the summer starts.

Canon EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens: a telephoto lens that blurs realityWednesday December 26 2012 Lens Review
Canon's EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens blurs images and reality – on purpose. With just a flick of the wrist and lens, the 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus allows photographers to have a "softfocus" in their images. The effect produces a blur and halo throughout the photograph. But how clear are the lens' images when you take away the blur?
Wedding, portrait, and landscape photographers can use Canon's EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens to create pictures with dream like qualities – the lens allows photographers to add a blur effect, creating heavenly halos around subjects. Relatively affordable and lightweight, the digital version of the 25-year-old EF 135mm f/2.8 Softfocus lens – also capable of snapping razor-sharp images – could be a creative asset in a photographer's lens kit.

Robin van Persie says the element of surprise is one of his major weapons now he is a centre forward.
Arsenal's captain has had to learn a new skill set in the past few years while switching positions from his old 'second striker' role to become a more authentic forward.
Van Persie has been an unqualified success as an out-and-out striker, leading the line well, linking up play and scoring goals at a tremendous rate - he has 33 in all competitions this season.
And while in geographical terms the Dutchman's past and present roles are not too different, he believes they are poles apart in practice.
"It is quite strange because a main striker and a second striker are quite close to each other, you are playing next to each other sometimes or just behind. But it is a massive difference in your game," Van Persie told Arsenal Player.
"A second striker is a role where you are doing a lot of running, but one-pace running - closing people down to the left or to the right. Sometimes you will have a high-speed run but it is mainly one-pace stuff.
"For a main striker you might give everything for 10 to 15 seconds or 30 seconds, whatever it takes. After that you might have a breather and then you go again, it is in intervals from really low straight to the maximum again. There isn't too much in the middle and it is a bit more of an aggressive game.
"To be fair I like that though because sometimes you can just surprise an opponent by doing that, having a breather and then, bang, you are off again. It is a different game in lots of ways, that is just one of the reasons.
"You are, of course, closer to the opponent's goal, which is handy because otherwise you have to cover all that distance. Even if you are not playing well as a main striker, just that one, short moment in behind means you can still score."

There is something for everyone at the Berkshire Botanical Garden. Below is a list of our scheduled events classes, and exhibits. For details on any individual listing, just click on the event for more information. If you still have questions, feel free to call the garden at 413.298.3926. See you at the Garden!
Have you ever wondered why a plant that has received accolades from the gardening community just does not seem to work for you? Join author, gardener, and plant expert David Culp as he shares his advice on selecting perennials for Northeast gardens. Using the Perennial Plant of the Year listings of the past few decades as a starting point, David, who has evaluated plants for Sunny Borders for many years, examines what perennials are strong performers for gardeners in our region, and makes suggestions of additional species and varieties that may work better given local conditions. His expertise will be put to good use in his talk and by attendees as they go about selecting new plants for their gardens. And images of Brandywine Cottage, his own garden in Downington, PA, as captured in his book The Layered Garden, are sure to inspire our design sense as well. A book-signing will follow his talk.
David Culp is the creator of the gardens at Brandywine Cottage in Downingtown, PA, and is an herbaceous perennials instructor at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. His articles have appeared in Martha Stewart Living, Country Living, Fine Gardening, Green Scene, and many other publications. David is Vice President for Sunny Border Nurseries in Connecticut and is author of the book, The Layered Garden, published by Timber Press.

This course is co-enrolled with the Horticulture Certificate Program and meets on Mondays, March 6, 13, 20, 27 and April 3, 5:30 – 8:30 pm.
Whether starting a new vegetable garden or caring for an established one, Woven Roots Farm co-owner & manager, Peter Salinetti, is the one to turn to for a deeper understanding of no-till farming, soil and nutrient management, seed selection, crop rotation schemes, bed preparation, seed sowing and planting, pest management, and specific plant cultivation. Each week, the class will investigate a different vegetable family to insure all questions are answered about cultivation of these important crop families for the home vegetable gardener. He will pass along traditional and regenerative, no-till gardening practices for growing cold crops such as kale, broccoli, and cabbage; umbellifers such as carrots and fennel; legumes such as peas and beans; greens such as lettuce, radicchio, and arugula; herbs; corn; onions, leeks, and garlic; cucurbits such as melons, squashes, and pumpkins; and perhaps one of the most cherished groups: the solanums—tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and eggplants. All in all, this is the perfect primer for planning and growing a well balanced vegetable garden and diet.
Peter Salinetti, along with his wife, Jennifer, own Woven Roots Farm, a small family farm and CSA in Tyringham, MA, that cultivates vegetables, flowers, and culinary herbs using traditional, regenerative, no-till farming practices. For over 16 years he has grown produce for Berkshire County families and has lectured on his farm for NOFA and other regional organizations.

Join Massachusetts State Beekeeper Ken Warchol for an in-depth lecture on the spring care of honeybee hives. The class will focus on managing spring hive population build-up, feeding, dividing, monitoring pests, protecting the hive, and, most importantly, learning approaches to prevent swarming. In essence, this program will provide all of the critical information to properly time critical practices for getting the honey season off to a positive start.
In addition to serving as a Massachusetts State Bee keeper, Ken Warchol is a long time beekeeper with great teaching skills. His lectures are enjoyed by expert and novice beekeepers alike.

Join gardener and plant expert Rob Girard as he shares his knowledge of an array of geophytes from South Africa, one of the most botanically diverse regions of the world. A dedicated plantsman, Rob has been growing these bulbs for years, many of which were started from seed collected by the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in South Africa, and will tell us about their provenance and history, as well as their development, cultivation, and care. After his talk, Rob will take the group to the Fitzpatrick Greenhouse, where he has worked with the BBG staff to grow on Chasmanthe bicolor, Ferraria crispa, Gladiolus tristis, Lachenalia,Ornithogalum dubium, Veltheimia bracteata, and (hopefully) some Babiana and Watsonia, which are being shown as part of the Garden's annual Bulb Show.

The price of this workshop includes admission to the 1pm lecture, Wild about Perennials with Noel Kingsbury, on the same day.
The workshop is limited in size and is likely to sell out. Reservations will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis.
This half-day workshop aims to encourage participants to observe garden and landscape plants, focusing on their growth through the season and over the years, looking at how they compete with each other, and assessing prospects for their longevity and their suitability for a variety of garden locations. Kingsbury addresses questions about how the garden will evolve: How long will plants live? How far will they spread? How will a newly planted border look in five years, or ten years?Gardeners and designers can then use this knowledge to maximize garden interest while minimizing maintenance. This workshop teaches participants about how plants are linked to their natural habitats and ecology, and how this connects to the way gardeners can use such plants in the garden to best effect. Students will walk away with a rabbit's eye view—a perspective that will enable them, through close observation of growing habits and life cycles of various plants, to be better gardeners and designers, and to more deeply appreciate the traits of the plants that they grow.
For more information and to register, click here.
The author of Planting: A New Perspective shares his understanding of the naturalistic approach to planting design of landscape designers such as Piet Oudolf, Cassian Schmidt, Thomas Rainer, and Sarah Price. This introduction to the naturalistic style explains the basic philosophy behind the practice of selecting plants for the ecology of the site and gives us lessons on how to create a landscape that looks natural and responsive to site, while also having the long season of interest that gardeners desire. Using his own extraordinary photographs, Kingsbury will illustrate the techniques used in creating these planting designs, with examples of his own work and that of the renowned Dutch garden designer Piet Oudolf.
Noel Kingsbury is an internationally known writer about plants, gardens, and the environment. Best-known for his promotion of what is broadly called an ecological or naturalistic approach to planting design, he has written some 20 books on various aspects of plants and gardens, 3 of them in collaboration with Dutch designer and plantsman Piet Oudolf. Over the years he has written for Gardens Illustrated, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Garden, Hortus, The New York Times, and many other publications. He also teaches and is a garden/planting designer and horticultural consultant.

This class meets on Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday, March 22, 23, & 24, 10 am – 4 pm.
Bring a bag lunch. A materials list will be e-mailed to you upon registration. Gold ink and paper can be purchased from the instructor.
In this studio class with botanical illustrator Carol Morley, students learn to add a decorative element to their botanical drawings by embellishing the flowing lines of a drawing of a flower or leaf with 18-carat-gold liquid ink. They will also learn to add details to a drawing with the point of a luminous silver or gold Prismacolor pencil. Students should bring along a few favorite botanical drawings to the class. They can then transfer one of them to a dark paper, add a bee or two and a butterfly, and weave in some gold lettering, which will transform the drawing into a glowing illuminated botanical illustration. Students will discover how easily spectralite liquid gold flows from the nib of a crow quill pen and how it looks and feels. For those with no crow quill experience, there is the option to work solely with luminous colored pencils.
Tour Arranged by Classical Excursions—April 22-29, 2017
The Italian lakes have seduced travelers since the time of the ancient Romans, who made them a favorite holiday destination, building villas along the shores or near them. Later on, the lakes enchanted and inspired travelers on the Grand Tour – among these were Byron, Stendhal, Rossini, Bellini, Shelley, Turner, Liszt, Dickens and Henry James, who wrote to his sister Alice, "One can't describe the beauty of the Italian lakes, nor would one try if one could…it lay before me…the long gleam of the Major [Lake Maggiore]…"
With these glorious descriptions in mind, the Berkshire Botanical Garden invites you to join an eight-day excursion arranged by Classical Excursions of some of the most breathtakingly beautiful gardens and scenery in all of Italy, on Lake Maggiore, Lake Como, Verona and surrounding areas.
Judith Chatfield, veteran Italian garden expert, lecturer and author, will introduce you to the captivating villa and garden magic of the Lombardian lake region. Retrace the steps of centuries of travelers to experience such villa and garden sights as Isola Madre, Isola Bella, Villa Taranto, Villa San Remigio, Villa Carlotta, Villa Balbianello, Villa della Porta Bozzolo, to name just a few. Lunch at Villa Giusti, Grand Hotel Villa d'Este, Villa Cicogna, Villa Rizzardi and others.
Judith Chatfield is a lecturer and author of such books as A Tour of Italian Gardens and The Classic Italian Garden; she lived in Italy for a number of years. Over the years, Judith has lead many tours of Italian villas and gardens. For further information, contact Lani Summerville, director of Classical Excursions, at 413-446-8728, email@example.com. Tour price $3,700 per person based on double occupancy. Single supplement available.

Tour leader Judith Chatfield will speak at BBG in November. More details to follow.

As if graduating from the Boston Conservatory with a Master in Music Composition wasn't momentous enough, aspiring composer Felix Peña was astonished and elated to receive an unexpected prestigious award during commencement.
Peña, who earned his undergraduate degree in music at UST in 2006, was selected from conservatory composers to receive the 2010 Roger Sessions Memorial Composition Award at the Boston Conservatory Spring commencement ceremony in May.
"I had no idea about the award, so I was shocked when they called my name," Peña said. " All I could think about while walking up to the stage was the hard work I had put into my studies and how UST trained me to be such a dedicated, disciplined student. The encouragement and support of my mentor, Paul Krystofiak, and his continuing dedication to strengthen UST's music program have been integral to my success."
The award is named after Roger Sessions (1896-1985), one of the musical giants of the twentieth century. His works have been performed by musical organizations worldwide, and have earned him universal admiration and respect. In addition to a special Pulitzer citation bestowed for his life's work in 1974, Sessions was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his Concerto for Orchestra in 1982, which also turned out to be his final work.
When Andy Vores, Boston Conservatory faculty chair of composition, was asked about the process of choosing the award, he said, "I never had a student progress so much so fast before. Felix' most recent works showed a level of sophistication and beauty that was unique and special."
Peña saw his good fortune continue when Juventas selected one of his works for their 2010-2011 season. Juventas is one of the ensembles in residence at The Boston Conservatory. The piece they selected is a chamber work for Pierrot ensemble titled, "I was thankful for the barrier between us."
Since graduating from Boston Conservatory, Peña returned to UST to be a guest theory/composition instructor at the UST 22nd Annual Piano Day Camp in June. He joined the UST Music Preparatory School, directed by UST professor Paul Krystofiak, this fall as a theory/composition instructor.
"Felix' Boston Conservatory commencement award is another affirmation of his talent and hard work," Krystofiak said. "It has genuinely been a great pleasure and reward in my teaching career to have assisted Felix, in any way, on his path to success. I hope Felix will continue to grow and set his goals high so that one day he can follow in the footsteps of his named award, composer Roger Sessions, and win a Pulitzer in music."

text: MTA-backed alternative to ballot initiative approved An MTA-backed alternative to Stand for Children's ballot initiative was signed into law June 29 by Governor Deval Patrick, ending Stand's bid to have the controversial initiative appear on November's ballot. Under the new law, school committees and local associations are required to negotiate contract changes by school year 2016-17 to ensure that teacher performance plays a more significant role than seniority in layoff and transfer decisions. "The MTA has advocated for excellent teachers for all students since our founding, and we continue that tradition in our support for this new law," said MTA President Paul Toner. "The alternative plan is vastly superior to the Stand initiative, and it mirrors the views expressed by a majority of our members." Toner continued, "Fighting this on the ballot would have been extremely expensive and divisive. It would have distracted us from pursuing other important priorities that are good for students and fair to educators." The MTA Board of Directors voted to support the alternative plan in May after Stand agreed to eliminate 29 of the 31 provisions in the ballot initiative. The two remaining provisions require the following changes beginning in September 2016: Layoffs: Local contracts must reflect that "indicators of performance, best interests of the students and needs of the district" are the primary factors in layoff decisions involving teachers with Professional Teacher Status. Teachers without PTS must be laid off before those with PTS, as under current law. Seniority can be a tie-breaker between two equally qualified teachers. The criteria and processes governing layoffs will be determined through negotiations. Reassignments: The new law will require "good faith consultation" between superintendents and principals when a teacher is being involuntarily reassigned from one school to another. As in layoffs, performance must be a primary consideration. The superintendent will have final say over teacher assignment. Provisions that Stand agreed to drop and that are not part of the new law include the following: Teachers would have lost the right to bargain over criteria and processes in all personnel actions relating to appointments, assignments and layoffs. Part-time teachers could never attain PTS. Teachers with PTS could be laid off before provisional teachers without PTS. Districts would have right to impose the state's "model" evaluation system on teachers if the parties were unable to reach agreement. Under the new law, districts must inform the state when they plan to train teachers and administrators in the new evaluation system and how they intend to fund that training. AFT Massachusetts and the Massachusetts AFL-CIO initially opposed the alternative, but on June 20 they announced they would neither support it nor oppose it. MTA Vice President Tim Sullivan said, "I would have preferred that those changes were made through collective bargaining. However, in the end it was clear to me that the alternative was much better than the ballot question, which would have made many disruptive and unnecessary changes to current laws and silenced the voice of teachers in making many important decisions about their schools."

Hey all,
Need some help trying to figure out how to sight my rifle in fro 200 yards. I'm going on a guided boar hunt next month, and the guide has asked to have my rifle sighted in at 200 yards. I have it currently zeroed in at 100 yards with a .270win, how should I zero it in at 200 yards? Should I have it zeroed in at about 1.5inches high at the 100 yard mark, or should I just compensate with the number of clicks pending on the range of the pig? Any feed back would be much appreciated. Thanks!

First, welcome to the forum!
My suggestion would be to first take a basic pistol course. There you will learn safety, shooting techniques, etc. that your husband and friends are unable to teach you (then you can teach them!). Secondly, I'd go to a range that rents guns and try a few out and go with what you like. I'd suggest a 9mm since you're a new shooter and the recoil on a 9mm is pretty manageable, if you want an auto. In terms of makes and models, there's a ton of choices and everybody has their favorites. Some of the more popular, reliable, and affordable brands are brands are Springfield Armory XD line, Glock, Smith & Wesson M &P line. Ruger also makes some solid, affordable guns. If you would like a revolver, which have some definite advantages to a new shooter since they are a bit easier to learn, then I'd suggest a .38. But like I said, you need to hold them and shoot them to decide. I like to say guns are like shoes, one size does not fit all and what is good for one person is not good for another.
Also, be sure to get some sort of safe that allows you quick access to the gun but will keep your baby out once he starts crawling, walking, and getting into everything (I'm at the stage right now with my 2nd son).

I have been reading an awful lot of horribly horrifying horror stories from teachers. But the majority are from several years ago. The stories and everythning seem to have really decreased since say, sometime in 2004. How have things stayed the same since then?! How have things changed since then?
I really only consider working in the far south because I'm useless in cold weather. One winter near Seoul was enough for me. I did a winter English camp this past January.
I'll go back for a summer camp this July. I plan on looking around afterwards and / or while I'm at the camp. I'm wondering if I'll even be able to look around during the camp.
What do you think, is there some advantage to just being in the country while looking for work, even if I won't be able to visit the schools.

While employed in her chosen field of hotel management in Miami Beach, Florida, international student Bianca Prado-Vargas had a valuable "Aha!" moment, spurring a shift in her career path and taking her through the MLA Program at University of St. Thomas. Having already achieved an undergraduate degree in international business and hotel and tourism management from a university in Switzerland, her epiphany came as she handled one-on-one interactions with guests at the five-star hotel.
"I'm creative and you don't get to exercise that wearing a hotel uniform and adhering to a strict protocol for dealing with individual guests," Prado-Vargas said. "At the same time, I realized I liked the administration part and working with an employee team."
Prado-Vargas thought that public relations, community affairs or human resources would be a better fit for her creativity and would capitalize on the skills and talent she acquired through growing up in nine countries on four continents. The Peruvian-born woman speaks three languages and has a United Nations-like appreciation for various cultures and idioms.
She decided a graduate degree would increase her marketability for the new career path she had identified.
"Most positions nowadays require a master's, and there also was an expectation by my family that I would get a higher degree," she said. "But honestly, I also wanted it for my own personal fulfillment. It gives me more credibility, and I believe higher degrees lead to higher salary levels."
Since her parents were living in the Houston area, Prado-Vargas moved in with them to begin her search for the right program.
"I was attracted to UST because it is a private university with a small student-to-professor ratio. The campus is beautiful, and the professors are great and easy to reach," Prado-Vargas said.
She also liked the flexibility of UST's Master in Liberal Arts Program, permitting students to customize their degree by selecting from 20 different areas of study. Prado-Vargas picked communication.
"My Communication courses included areas such as public relations, inter-cultural studies, media and social media."
Learning was augmented by valuable real-world experience gained through a five-month internship in Community Affairs at Univision, which she heard about through a fellow grad student.
"I loved everything about community affairs and television—writing scripts, screening and scheduling public service announcements, helping with production of public affairs shows, representing the channel at community events, and meeting important people in the course of the job," she said. "One thing I learned is you need to be a perfectionist when it comes to details because you are frequently the last person to read something before it is said on the air.
"The MLA prepared me theoretically and the internship was a great opportunity to put what I was taught into practice."
As Prado-Vargas searches for the best professional position, she knows she found the right MLA program.

Religious & Theological Studies
Religious and theological studies at Merrimack College investigate the meaning and purpose of life through a study of Christianity and other religious traditions.
As a department at a Catholic and Augustinian institution of higher education, we ensure that students encounter the richness of the Catholic spiritual, intellectual and ecclesial tradition in the course of their study, and that they are introduced to the life, thought and influence of Saint Augustine.
Religious and theological studies enable students to engage in the appreciative and intellectually rigorous (critical) study of the single most powerful feature of human life: Religion. The Department offers a comprehensive program that not only investigates many aspects of Christianity, but also provides opportunities for the study of other religions.
Religious and theological studies at Merrimack College enable students to:
- Understand the world around them by analyzing the religious influences in history, politics and economics.
- Explore the most pressing ethical issues of the day, as well as the psychological and sociological forces that shape the human search for meaning.
- Develop analytical and writing skills, as well as a cross-cultural understanding and appreciation of the diversity of American culture.
- Attain a better understanding of themselves, their values and what ultimately makes them happy and fulfilled.
Because religion addresses these most basic questions, it also involves controversial topics. By becoming a religious and theological studies major or minor one engages some of the most exhilarating ideas, persons, and movements in all of human history. The ideas, readings and conversations encourage one to reflect on the meaning and direction of one's own life and relationship to the eternal.
Opportunities include a major with emphasis in religious studies, a major with emphasis in theological studies, a general minor in religious and theological studies, and specialized minor in Science and Religion and minor in Jewish-Christian-Muslim Relations.
All students who enrolled at Merrimack College prior to the Fall of 2012 are required to pass eight (8) credits of religious and theological studies courses as follows:
- RTS 1100 Christianity in Context
- All such students are also required to pass one additional RTS course at the 2000 level or above before graduation.
As of Fall 2012 all incoming students are required to pass the following four (4) credit course: RTS1100 Christianity in Context
Many religious and theological studies courses fulfill the Liberal Studies Core requirements such as Arts and Literature (AL), Ethics (E), Cultural Diversity (D), Experiential Learning (X), and Historical Studies (H).

Re: Finding free anchorages on East Coast?
For decades people of little means have been able to buy a boat for a few hundred dollars or less and anchor it in a Florida cove and live in "paradise" with a meager income.
It's a socioeconomic problem involving citizens of the state of Florida. I don't sail at great expense and challenge every fall for over 2500 miles from the Great Lakes to be treated like a second - hell, a fourth class citizen - and I'll be damned if I'll spend my money in the state if that's what they continue to do to me. I'm not the only person who feels this way either.
As for it perhaps maybe not being about the money - Major Daugherty of the FWC assured me that ass in Sunset Lake, Frederick Karlton, would be charged under the law for illegally having his dinghies out in the water. I haven't heard anything lately, but it's my understanding they are still there. Of course, the man is only worth multiple millions - but when I get back to MB, I will AGAIN anchor my boat in the middle of his bloody field just because a) I can and b) I know it drives him nuts and he deserves that sort of treatment.
But the law is on our side, so someone - anyone - tell me why the FWC won't enforce it? Let me answer that - $$$$$.
Better yet - why doesn't someone take the FWC to court for a writ of mandamus and get an order forcing them to charge Karlton?
Re: Finding free anchorages on East Coast?
Florida had derelict boats that were abandoned and while existing legislation may have prohibited these boats from anchoring it was sketchy at best. Most municipalities were reluctant to act. St Augustine for example had a real mess for years but now was able to clean up it's waterfront by making it a mooring field. Yes the communities are making money from these mooring fields but I don't think that was the only reason.
.While Aythya Crew may not have ever been "harrassed" by the authorities or home owners, Miami Beach police used to (I don't know if this is still the case) only allow anchoring within their boundries for 5 days per month. In Sunset Lake, again in Miami Beach, two home owners regularily harrassed boats at anchor.It happened to me. The last time I anchored in Miami Beach there were only a handful of boats and none around Monument Island when a few years before there were hundreds. Marco Island was infamous for harrassing cruisers and in Lake Sylvia in Fort Lauderdale similiar behaviour was exhibited by the authorities. This was done because of pressure by the landowners around the waterways.
The Marco Island tactics resulted in one cruiser whom they harrassed taking them to court and winning. Municipalities panicked fearing a huge influx of undesirables, like me, anchoring in their backyards and so they got the state to introduce the mooring field law.
There are still lots of free anchorages in Florida but the number within municipal limits are quickly disappearing. As long as Florida municipalities make money and get rid of derelicts, free anchorages in Florida will be a thing of the past.
Re: Finding free anchorages on East Coast?
All should consider the history of why this is a problem characteristic of Florida. Some seem to suggest that it's a character flaw among the local politicians, wealthy landowners, or a policy motivated by greed. Actually, it more of a result of personal freedoms and climate. For decades people of little means have been able to buy a boat for a few hundred dollars or less and anchor it in a Florida cove and live in "paradise" with a meager income. They can paddle to a public landing or easement under a bridge without a problem. Is this not happening in Georgian Bay or New England because of a better ethic of the society there? .....because of more honorable legislation? Of course not! People can't survive drinking their beer in a winter sunset of 70 degrees there! Is it possible or right for Florida to legislate against those too poor to own pretty and expensive boats? Of course not,- instead, for the past hundred years, every five years or so a strom wipes away these wrecks and the owners go back to live elsewhere or buy another wreck. This is why Florida has this local problem. The best response has been to develop legislation that discourages people from using boats as low income housing. I've heard the internet an published horror stories of boaters being harrassed, but the real world is not so unfair. I have been anchoring out in Florida freely since 1972, usually for just a couple nights at one spot, but as long as three month at one place. I do not land my dinghy on private property, anchor within moorin fields or channels. I have never been questioned, approached or hassled by any authority. I have never been boarded or inspected by any authority while cruising or anchoring during these 41 years. I have never heard any negative remarks from any landowner. I have fended off derelet boats and helped some on pathetic crafts hold their position.
Re: Finding free anchorages on East Coast?
but Florida, ...have a real problem with what by almost any definition are junk boats that are a real danger to navigation. There is also a problem with some folks who live on boats and abuse shore facilities.
As for the drunks and druggies - that' a social problem, not a boating problem - and the sooner Florida deals with it appropriately, the better off all concerned will be. But that won't happen - see 'rich landowners' above...

My suspicious mind thinks that the derelict vessel/irresponsible boater arguments are a smoke cover for developers and cash-strapped municipalities.
They don't want to treat me as a respected guest/tourist, they don't get my money. There are 10,000 cruising boats a year that enter Florida - if we all did this in Florida, they'd quickly get the message.
Oh wait, maybe not - all those rich landowners have the votes and the money they support their lackey politicians with.
End of rant.
Re: Finding free anchorages on East Coast?
Far and away, the best guide is The Great Book of Anchorages, it's new, from Chuck Baird and Susan Landry. Active Captain has too many posts that are simply wrong and, sometimes, dangerous to follow. Ok if you want to find a clean bathroom, downright dangerous if you're using some of the suggestions for navigation.
Check The Great Book of Anchorages, or google the title for the new book.

Communications Workshop In this interactive workshop, participants will learn the
skills that are necessary to communicate effectively both orally
and in writing within business contexts, whether it's through email
and telephone or more formal memos and letters. Participants will focus on important but often overlooked
aspects of business writing such as ensuring the appropriate level
of formality with reference to word choice, tone, and register and
the limits of word processing spelling and grammar
tools. Participants will learn strategies to target specific
audiences and achieve specific goals. Participants will
develop practical ways to analyze texts quickly and to incorporate
such insights into their own writing. Furthermore,
participants will identify and discuss the social, cultural,
personal, and professional challenges posed by face-to-face,
distance and virtual forms of communication within international
and multinational professional settings. Ultimately, participants will grasp the interdependence
between speakers and listeners and readers and writers with regard
to effective communication in business settings.

Limited Quantity Exception - Ground Service (49 CFR HM-215K)
If the "Ground and Air Packaging Provisions Exceptions" column of the chemical table references a specific packaging exception, refer to that section of 49 CFR to determine if your material qualifies for the exception. If you do not meet all the conditions for that exception, you must prepare the material under the rules for a fully regulated hazardous material.
The material used in this marking example is Chromic Acid Solution, 8, UN1755, PGII. Using this as an example, the DOT regulations allow this material to be shipped as a limited quantity if it meets the conditions of 49 CFR 173.154 -- that is, non-specification outer packaging is permitted if inner receptacles do not exceed a capacity of 1 L. If any of your inner receptacles exceeds the 1 L capacity, your shipment is ineligible for this exception.
Further, since this shipment is not being transported by aircraft, you may ship the package without a hazard label. The limited quantity marking depicted below indicates that you have classified your material under HM-215K and that your package is excepted from the specification packaging and labeling requirements.
Most limited quantity shipments prepared under HM-215K are eligible to be shipped via ground service in the 48 contiguous states without shipping papers or Shipper's Certifications. It is the shipper's responsibility to properly classify, package, label and mark their materials in conjunction with current regulatory requirements.
Even though your packaging need not be a UN performance package, it must meet the requirements of 49 CFR 173.24 and 173.24(a) and must be capable of meeting the ISTA Procedure 3A test.
Ground service for hazardous materials, including ORM-D, ltd qty and combustibles, is no longer available for packages being shipped to or from Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and Catalina Island. This change was effective January 1, 2011. If you have questions about shipping hazardous materials with UPS, please call the UPS Hazardous Materials Support Center at 1-800-554-9964.
