Introducing the collection
Botanist Nathaniel Wallich was the Superintendent of Calcutta Botanic Garden from 1817 to 1846 and during this time he was an avid plant collector. His specimens are to be found in many herbaria, including those of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Natural History Museum, London. Wallich made plant collections during his many excursions in Asia, including his stay in Nepal in 1820–1821, travels to Penang and Singapore to recuperate from illness, and a particularly productive tour to Burma in the late 1820s.
Wallich employed botanical illustrators during his expeditions and many of the drawings made during these trips were comparable, sometimes identical, to his herbarium specimens. The specimens were brought to England by Wallich in 1828 during a two-year extension of leave from Calcutta and during this time he named the collections and distributed specimens. He also produced a catalogue for the collection listing and naming every specimen. This Numerical List of the Specimens of the East India Company Herbarium, together with the matching herbarium specimens, forms an extremely important resource for understanding the taxonomy and delimitation of many Asian species.
Wallich distributed his specimens to important museums and herbaria but his personal set of specimens is kept in a separate herbarium at Kew. Usually referred to as the Wallich Herbarium, this is more appropriately termed the East India Company Herbarium. This holds over 8,000 species which, in addition to Wallich's collections, include many important specimens added from other botanist's herbaria such as that of William Roxburgh, the 'father' of Indian botany.
In 1832, the East India Company Herbarium was transferred to the Linnean Society where it was rearranged into the order of Wallich's Numerical List. By 1913 a shortage of space meant a new home was needed for the herbarium so it was transferred back to Kew and placed at the end of Wing B of the Herbarium where it remains to this day.
Kew holds many historical illustrations including approximately 200 colour illustrations completed during Wallich's time at Calcutta Botanic Garden. Many of the drawings are of plants collected by Wallich in Nepal in 1821 and they may have been made as he collected them by Indian artists employed by Wallich. The drawings often match herbarium specimens and are of a variety of different plant groups, with the orchid and ginger families featuring prominently. These illustrations most probably came to Kew as part of a consignment of approximately 3,000 drawings when Joseph Hooker was involved in sorting out the botanical collections of the India Museum during its dissolution in the late nineteenth century.
Indian botanical artwork in the Natural History Museum Library forms one of their largest subject collections and falls into two categories. The first and larger category comprises several different collections from the various Botanical Gardens of the British East India Company territories. All of these drawings date from the late eighteenth century through to the 1850s and the demise of the Company's administration in India. The second comprises collections portraying Indian flora by artists who were mainly European.
The Wallich collection at the Natural History Museum consists of over 100 watercolour drawings and pencil sketches of plants drawn by a team of Indian artists at the Calcutta Botanic Garden under the supervision of Nathaniel Wallich. It is believed that the drawings were received in the 1870s when the India Office moved its premises to South Kensington. Some of the drawings are annotated as having been the basis of plates published in Wallich's Plantae Asiaticae Rariores (1830-32).
110 files of documents have been selected from the India Office Records and Private Papers held at the British Library and are available in this online collection.
The India Office Records are the archives of the administration in London of the pre-1947 government of India. They comprise the records of the East India Company (1600-1858), the Board of Control or Board of Commissioners for the Affairs of India (1784-1858), and the India Office (1858-1947). The official records are supplemented by collections of private papers relating to India and South Asia, many created by the administrators themselves. For information about the official records and the private papers, see the web pages of the British Library.
The records here relate mainly to Wallich's tenure as Superintendent of the Calcutta Botanic Garden. Whether in post at Calcutta or away on expedition, Wallich copiously documented his activities in the letters which he exchanged with his superiors. As part of the recording processes of the Indian government, copies of this correspondence were routinely sent back to the administration in London. There, the Board of Control would approve or amend the East India Company's decisions after requisitioning all relevant documents on the subject. Among the files compiled for the Board are many on botanical, agricultural, and forestry matters. Topics discussed in this selection include:
- Wallich's employment and career
- the daily administration of the Calcutta garden, with lists of plants received and despatched
- expeditions to Nepal, Oudh, Burma, and Singapore
- the garden's library
- Wallich's period of leave in England
- the work of the Plantation Committee and the Tea Committee, and the expansion of the garden to include a medical garden and a teak plantation
Private papers include letters from William Carey to Henry Colebrooke recommending Wallich for the post of Superintendent, and from William Moorcroft to Wallich reporting on botanical discoveries in Kashmir.
To set the archives in context, this selection also includes material from related periods and places. There are documents on the foundation of the Calcutta Botanic Garden in 1787 and on its evolution over the following century. There are records on the gardens established at Bangalore, Saharanpore, Dapuri, and Samulcotta. The scholarly Annals of the Royal Botanical Gardens began publication in 1887, and there are finely-illustrated books in this series written by Joseph Hooker and George King.
Individual highlights are:
- annual lists of trees and plants introduced to the garden between 1790 and 1795
- a summary drawn up by Wallich of his own career, designed to persuade his superiors to grant him leave of absence
- three plans of the Calcutta Botanic Garden dated 1816, 1843 and 1846, which show radical changes in the garden's design
Some of the individuals mentioned are: Andrew Berry, William Carey, Henry Colebrooke, Edward Gardner, George Govan, Benjamin Heyne, Brian Houghton Hodgson, Robert Kyd, Charles Lushington, John McClelland, Charles Metcalfe, William Moorcroft, William Roxburgh, and John Forbes Royle.
This selection has been created from record series which, being designed for administrators and not historians, do not yield up their contents easily. The project has built upon investigations carried out for Science and the Changing Environment in India 1780-1920 (British Library: 2010). This is the first time, however, that the series have been researched to identify all material about a single individual.

Early-season pomegranate varieties have moved smoothly into the distribution channels, and now the Wonderful, the principal pomegranate variety, is starting to ship.
"Continued warm days and cool nights in California's Central Valley have helped to produce the cleanest and largest crop we've seen in years," Tom Tjerandsen, manager of the Pomegranate Council, said in a press release.
This harvest is expected to continue until mid-November, with shipments from storage anticipated though January. Fresh Market shipments should exceed 4 million boxes. "Our fruit tastes and looks great right now," Brad Paris, general manager of produce at PomWonderful, said in the release. He added that "external color is getting redder by the day and the taste is fantastic, particularly for this early in the season."
The foodservice industry continues to help build awareness and trial for fresh pomegranates by showcasing the many ways in which arils (the red seeds) can be incorporated into traditional fall and winter menus. Consumers and chefs continue to visit the www.pomegranates.org website for an update on the newest recipes.
Consumers who recognize the attributes that make pomegranates a nutritional powerhouse are helping to accelerate the steady upward climb in per capita consumption. "Although the industry has virtually complete distribution across the country, heaviest sales are still concentrated on both coasts," Jeff Simonian of Simonian Fruit said in the release. "We need to continue to concentrate distribution building activities across the Midwest."
With low shrink and labor, fresh pomegranates are recognized as potentially a significant profit contributor during fall and early winter months. The shippers have market proven sales aids to help retailers increase their sales of California pomegranates.

I have missed the WIX website in the list provided they have a wonderful interface and produces a custom made site for any purpose, and is exceptional for photo and video contents.
- April 01, 2011
I think Mejuba.com is the worlds best!
Unlimited storage and it's completely free. No monthly limits or quotas. You can upload a whooping 1GB PER upload!
Photos and videos are stored in their original format and are kept unmodified for backup.
I also like that you can geo-tag your stuff so it shows up on a map. And you can search for stuff on
the map – that's cool!. Even Google Street View is now implemented - eat that Youtube, Vimeo etc!!!
As the only site i know of it uses a Windows Explorer like navigation with folders – super easy to
use – even has drag and drop!. You can upload your entire folder-structure in a single upload.
It's free, fast, nice design as SO much better than the other video sites.

PhotoLinkage is another website to be on the lookout for. Their service is free with unlimited uploads, and plus they have a directory for photography blogs and for freelance photographers.

These sites have great features but are all too busy. I use http://inmyphotofolder.com – It's free and simple. No limit to number of Photos or Folders. Their PhotoSync application takes care of uploading pictures and folders and it keeps your online Photos in Sync with your Photo collection on your computer. Add new folders, pictures, resize some, delete some, rotate others and the photosync sorts out what needs to be uploaded. The PhotoSync app works on PC and MAC. Add a list of friends e-mail addresses to your account and when you Sync up your photo collection - they will get an e-mail with list of your new Photo Folders.

Typically you can upload as a lot of pictures because you are able to fit into that web site, and their (hopefully) quickly servers will serve up your photos 24/7 anywhere you need to use them. As soon as you decide you would like to join a community it is possible to host images with on-line, all you have to do is go to the Control Panel of their web site and follow directions which consist of selecting the image you need to use from your computer and post these pictures in the suitable folder or subfolder of the hosting account.

I'd love to add another site to the list: http://folio24.com. Although this is (admittedly) a bit of shameless self-promotion, Folio24 does have the same features as the big boys (a la Carbonmade) for less money. Plus, we're very responsive to suggestions/feedback and constantly adding new features and improving the interface.
We just launched, and to celebrate we're upgrading the first 25 accounts to top-shelf paid versions. So definitely check out Folio24.com!

The best site was www.jux.com
Unfortunately, it's going to be shut down this summer. And after looking at several of the recommended, it just doesn't compare to what is shutting down.
If there are any investors out there, I highly recommend Jux.com

Great list, but a little dated at this point. Would love to find site that allows for full res photos and videos for free, but can't seem to find anything. The closest I found is smugmug.com for 60$/yr. But I find that a little steep for just some personal sharing with friends and family. Google+ is a great option, but restricts you to 2048px images. Flickr is a waste for video (max is 3min), so that is useless.
Anyone have any good suggestions?

Blog | Architecture Analysis Using AADL: A Beginner's Perspective
Blog | AADL Tools: Leveraging the Ecosystem
In this podcast, Julien Delange discusses two extensions to the Architecture Analysis and Design Language: the behavior annex and the error-model annex. The behavior annex represents the functional logic of AADL components and interacts with the other system elements. SEI researchers are currently participating in the ongoing improvements of this extension of the AADL by connecting it to other analysis tools. The error model annex augments the architecture description by specifying safety concerns of the system (error propagation, error behavior, etc.). The language is the foundation of new analysis tools that provide qualitative and quantitative assessment of system safety and reliability. SEI researches have defined new tools that analyze the model and produces safety validation documents, such as the one required by safety standard such as the SAE ARP4761.
Julien Delange, has been at the SEI since November of 2012. His work focuses on the Architecture Analysis and Design Language, also called AADL. Before joining the SEI, Delange worked as a software engineer at the European Space Agency where he led and contributed to several research projects related to software and system architectures. He also has a Ph.D. from Telecom ParisTech in France and developed the real-time operating system called POK for building safe and secure systems.

How to Enhance Your Kickboxing Fitness Routine
Kickboxing can be an extremely effective form of exercising. It can show us quick results and have us kicking and punching to the beat. However, there are always things we can do to ensure we are getting the most effective workout. In order to achieve the best fitness routine there are a few things we should remember to do.
Warm up
You should always prepare your body for any type of fitness routine. Kickboxing is an tremendously intense form of exercise that requires a warm up. You should never skip this step in any fitness routine. You need your body to be prepared and ready to work at its peak level, in order to get the best results and avoid any unnecessary injuries.
Focus on your stance
Using the correct stance can engage more muscle groups. Muscles that we may normally ignore or may not have even known we had can be engaged just by holding our stance. For example, in order to workout your shoulders you need to remember to keep your hands up in front of your face. If you keep the correct stance throughout your fitness routine, you will get more out of your workout and see results sooner. It is important to keep the correct stance to avoid any injuries, like pulled muscles, during your fitness routine.
Give it your all
Kickboxing can burn up to eight hundred calories per session. One of the major influences on how many calories you burn is how much you put into your workout. You get out of a class only what you put into the class. If you go in performing at only 50%, you will see minimal results. However, if you give 100%, the results will be almost instantaneous. If you want to get the best out of any fitness routine, you have to give it your all.
Be competitive
Being competitive can keep you engaged in your fitness routine and push you past your limits. This can ensure that you are always giving it your all. You do not have to get in the ring and battle it out or anything combative like that, but you could have a fitness partner you try to outperform. You could see who can exercise longer, or who can do more kicks and punches. There are even some gyms you can join that have monthly competitions, such as who had the most gym visits or who improved the most. There are so many things you can do besides sparring that can be competitive and push you past your limits.
Cool down with stretching
Many people do not know the correct time to stretch is actually during the cool down at the end of your workout. Your muscle are warmed up and more prepared to stretch. You are more flexible during this time and less likely to injure yourself. Stretching is important in kickboxing because you are working many muscles that you normally would not. It is easy to pull one of these muscles if you do not warm up or stretch properly.
Kickboxing can be a fun workout especially when performed correctly. You can get quick results and avoid injury just by taking a few necessary precautions. Everyone who participates in a fitness routine should have certain elements in it, like the warm up, cool down and stretching. If you are starting a new fitness program, it is best to consult your doctor and choose a class or trainer with the correct certifications to avoid having slow results and injuries.

Dancing Arabs
by Sayed Kashua, translated from the Hebrew by Miriam Shlesinger
Grove Press
Most of us Jews in Canada who support and love the State of Israel rarely think about the 20 per cent of Israeli citizens who are Arabs. I am not referring to Arabs who live in the West Bank and are not citizens, though they are subject to Israeli army law. I refer to the Arabs who live within the pre-1967 borders of Israel and who are full-fledged Israeli citizens. It is often argued that Israeli Arabs have, on average, more rights and privileges and a higher standard of living than Arabs who live in any of the countries bordering Israel. This is almost certainly correct. Arab citizens vote in Israeli elections, serve in the Israeli parliament and enjoy freedom of speech to an extent unheard of in that part of the world – as we all saw in videos of Arab Knesset members heckling Prime Minister Stephen Harper when he recently addressed the Knesset.
On the other hand, the educational and economic gap between Jewish and Arab citizens of the state is significant. Regardless of whose fault this is, many opportunities in Israel are open for Arabs in theory only. To choose a familiar example, Arab citizens of Israel are often subjected to more serious security checks than Jews are, for example when driving into the airport or walking onto a university campus.
As Israel continues to emphasize that it's a "Jewish state," citizens who aren't Jewish naturally feel a sense of discomfort. True, many people around the world live in countries where the official religion is not theirs. Even in my own youth, it was not uncommon to hear the claim that Canada was a "Christian country" and that Jews and other minorities were tolerated but not part of the dominant culture. But some countries are more tolerant of their minorities than others, and Israeli Arabs must deal with widespread suspicion of all Arabs due to the reality of Arab terrorism.
Few Israeli Jews have close friends who are Arabs. Many might not have any significant contact with those 20 per cent of their fellow citizens. One of the best known Israeli Arabs for the Jewish Israeli public is Sayed Kashua, who has been writing a weekly humour/satire column in the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz for many years. Kashua also writes the scripts for a very funny sitcom on Israeli television entitled Avodah Aravit (Arab Labour). He has published three books that shed light on what daily life is like for an Israeli Arab.
His Dancing Arabs is a coming-of-age novel written in first person in the voice of a fictional Arab Israeli whose name we never learn. The life of the hero of the novel and Kashua's life overlap. They both come from the Israeli Arab city of Tira. They both excelled in their studies in elementary school and ended up going to an elite high school in Jerusalem (perhaps akin to Upper Canada College in Toronto) where they were part of a tiny number of Arab students in an almost entirely Jewish school. Both Kashua's real-life father and his fictional character's father were arrested on suspicion that they were involved in a terrorist bombing at the Hebrew University. Both fathers were held in administrative detention for a number of years and then released without being charged.
As in all books written in this genre, it's hard to know how much of the book is autobiographical. I hope the fictional narrator's description of the intolerable marital tensions with his wife and his problems with substance abuse are fiction, though I suspect that at least the dependence on alcohol might be anchored in Kashua's real life, since alcohol and drunken stupors play a role in his Ha'aretz columns too frequently for my taste.
The book provides a useful window into the life and concerns of an Israeli Arab trying to fit into daily life in Israel. As the narrator grows up, his own family and friends encourage him to be a proud Arab nationalist. But he often wishes he were a Jew, and he looks for acceptance in Jewish circles. He seems crushed when he figures out that his Jewish girlfriend sees their friendship simply as a high school fling and would never consider having a relationship with him after graduation.
In Israel, Kashua is beloved by many but mistrusted by others. Some Jews worry that he is an opponent of Zionism, and some Arabs see him as an Uncle Tom. During operation Cast Lead, Kashua wrote a satirical column in the voice of a right-wing Jew, saying that Arabs only understand force and that they have to be treated without compassion and hit hard until they understand who is boss. Unfortunately, a number of Arab Israeli readers did not realize the column was satirical and started a campaign against Kashua as an alleged traitor to his people. Kashua reacted by saying that apparently Israeli Arabs have not learned to identify cynicism.
This book sheds good fictional light on a serious Israeli social problem. But I must add that you miss something when you read it in English translation (although this translation, by Miriam Shlesinger, is readable and accurate).
Part of what makes Kashua a curious anomaly is that he writes in Hebrew, and in fact in a flowing and readable modern Hebrew. In Hebrew, he sounds like any educated secular Israeli Jew. It's important to remember that modern Hebrew isn't just a "Jewish language," but also the language of more than one million Arabs.

If the forum is to continue as you have indicated it will I believe that as it will no longer be associated with the DCRP web site and as the active membership is small a major simplification is in its best interest.
Get everybody together and get all those remaining talking to each other rather than as at the moment closeted in their own little brand specific domains.
I propose that there should only be a few categories as follows;
Introductions - where new members can say hi. Hopefully this will become a busy place.
General - any general photography chat.
Hardware - questions or advice or tips and tricks relating to hardware. all bands together.
Software - the software version of hardware.
Pictures - a place where pictures can be posted so you could for example have the Canon picture of the day and the Nikon picture of the day threads one above the other.
There could be a couple of sub groups I guess like landscape pictures or portraits but I wouldn't want to see more than a couple.
Forums need a sense of activity to thrive and with the remaining tiny membership it will be important for there to be an appearance of activity to keep the place going.
Old no longer relevent sections and threads could be posted to an archive area where they could be locked and still visible to search engines.

Just like the first spring blooms that have craned their necks out a little later this year due to the lengthy winter we have endured here in Ontario, we are slowly doing the same and beginning to stretch out a bit once again and unfurl. The last nine months have been spent adjusting to life with a newborn again.
While caring for a newborn is the most intense and rewarding experience I have the pleasure to share with my family, it takes a toll on all of us as we try to get back to some semblance of normal.
Gardening with our three girls is one of the ways we connect to our surroundings and each other. Not surprisingly, it feels very 'grounding'. Having the sun warm your back and children giggling by your side, while you dig, and prepare the soil and plant the seeds, is very comforting and therapeutic and somehow sets everything in perspective. Stick with the basics, hold on to those close to you, do the work, reap the rewards. The answers are all there in nature.
I had posted about how you can make your own fairy garden last spring: https://faymeling.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/magical-fairy-dust-to-brighten-your-days-a-fairy-garden-28/ and also here https://faymeling.wordpress.com/2012/07/09/magical-fairy-dust-to-brighten-your-days-a-fairy-garden-part-2/. My children were thrilled with the final product, but alas, by the time I had a camera in hand to take pictures of it, it was nearing the end of summer and our magical fairy garden (though still magical!) was no longer in its prime. This year, we've started fresh with a beautiful Gerbera daisy, a full white blossomed Dahlia and a lovely purple Salvia. Once the moss is in season we will plant some Irish and Scottish moss as well for a nice soft carpeting.

Rizokarpaso (Greek: Ριζοκάρπασο, Turkish: Dipkarpaz) is a town on the Karpass Peninsula in the Famagusta District, northeastern Cyprus.
Rizokarpaso is the biggest town on the peninsula. Soil near the town consists of terra fusca which is very fertile. Local crops include carob, cotton, tobacco, and grain. A tobacco-factory operates in the town. The town has two churches: St. Synesios and the church of the Holy Trinity. They are examples of the typical Cypriot mixed style, combining features of the late Gothic introduced by the Lusignans with the late Byzantine style of the Orthodox tradition. When the island's Orthodox bishops were banished by the Lusignans in 1222, the Bishop of Famagusta was sent to Rizokarpaso and continued his work in St. Synesios, the main Orthodox church in the region. Rizokarpaso is partly located in the ancient city of Karpasia on the West coast, according to legend founded by king Pygmalion.
The Karpass Peninsula (Greek: Καρπασία, Turkish: Karpaz), also known as Karpasia or Kirpasa is a long, finger-like peninsula that is one of the most prominent geographical features of the island of Cyprus. Its farthest extent is Cape Apostolos Andreas, and its major population centre is the town of Rizokarpaso (Turkish: Dipkarpaz). Since the Turkish invasion and occupation of 1974 the peninsula resides within the de facto Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.Karpass Peninsula is home to wild donkeys which are known as the symbol of Cyprus. There are some campaigns carried out by Turkish and Greek Cypriots to save the endangered donkeys in Karpass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karpaz

Brewing processes and methods. How to brew using extract, partial or all-grain. Tips and tricks.

last nights batch >--
well after months of brewing without one, I bought a turkey fryer. At 170,000 BTU's I cant belive I ever brewed any other way, man that thing is sweet. gathered the wort and moved the pot to the burner, within about 15 minutes the boil was blasting off. Almost had a boilover. I started with 6 gallons and ended up with 3 1/2 gallons of beer. perhaps I kept the heat too high the whole time, I did turn it down when the boil over almost occurred, but wanted to keep it at a strong boil, can someone tell me what a good "boil temp" is ? I am alomst sure that it was just too hot to keep from evaporating that much of the boil.. hey thanks for any help.

How Long?
Wow! How long did you cook the wort? When I did 5 gal batches w/ a 170K burner, my total cooking time was about 75 minutes--15 min to get to the boil and past the hot break, and then 60 min for the hop schedule. I would normally have the regulator backed off to 1/8 - 1/4 turn, rather than "full bore", to keep a nice, steady, rolling boil which gave me about a 10%/hr evaporation rate. If you're cooking for the same amount of time, it sounds like you kept a pretty voilent boil. Try less power and let us know what happens.

90 minutes
it was a 90 minute boil, 6 gals to start and end with 5 gals, allthough this was not the case, I will crank the heat down and keep and eye out, is there a =temp to go by ? Also when this happens is adding more water safe, a buddy of mine says I should have added more water to bring it back up to five gallons , I DID NOT do this because I belived this would dilute the results, can anyone shed more light on that as well ? Would this be a good way to go ? Thanks to all

About Turkey Fryers...
You probably already know this, but for anyone who might not and is now thinking of getting a turkey fryer, all of the ones I have seen come with an aluminum pot. You want to avoid brewing with the aluminum pot or you will have off-flavors. Also, if you plan on boiling in a large, 15-gallon steel keg, I would suggest that you weld some extra support on the fryer base (if necessary) in order to avoid an accident.

MONTREAL >> Rookie Martin Jones is already making Kings history.
In L.A.s 6-0 rout of the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday night, Jones became the first Kings goaltender to record a shutout against Montreal.
And he did it in just his third career NHL game. Jones is 3-0 with a 0.65 goals-against-average and a .973 save percentage. The shutout was also his second in as many games.
Maybe I didnt expect to get that kind of start, but I dont want to stop here, Jones said. I want to make sure I keep working. We have a lot of work ahead of us. Were playing some good teams.
The 23-year-old earned his first win in his NHL debut last Tuesday, beating the Ducks after a nine-round shootout. He followed up by making 16 saves to blank the New York Islanders on Saturday.
Its been nice to get wins in different ways, Jones said. Thats the sign of a good team, we get wins in different situations.
Jones got the start in Montreal in place of Ben Scrivens, who leads the league in save percentage. And Scrivens is normally backup goaltender to Jonathan Quick, whos out with a groin injury.
With Quick expected back in a couple of weeks, Jones performance could force coach Darryl Sutter to make a tough decision down the road.
Whenever Im called upon, theyre going to get my best, Jones said.
The Canadiens got his best on Tuesday at the Bell Centre, where Jones stopped all 31 shots he faced, including a seven-shot opening game flurry with the Canadiens on the power play.
If Jones wasnt making the saves he was making, it could have been a completely different ball game right off the start, said Anze Kopitar, who rewarded his goalie with a goal late in the first period, his ninth of the season.
He came up big for us. That game could have gone the complete opposite way.
L.A.s victory extended its winning streak to four games, snapping Montreals 10-game point streak.
L.A. has earned a point in 15 of its past 16 games since Nov. 2, not allowing more than two non-shootout goals in any game during that dominant stretch.
With just their second win over Montreal in the clubs past 11 meetings, the Kings matched a franchise record with 44 points through their first 31 games, equaling their starts in 1974-75 and 1980-81. At 6-0-2 in their past eight road games, the Kings improved to 10-3-2 on the road, setting another club record with 22 road points in 15 games.The Canadiens came out with pressure, but couldnt find an answer to Joness stellar play.
Jordan Nolan opened the scoring for Los Angeles at 7:03 of the first period, jumping on a big rebound after a Willie Mitchell shot from the blue line bounced off Prices pads and landed on Nolans stick.
Kopitar added to the lead with only 13 seconds remaining in the period, catching Price out of position after winning the faceoff to his right.
We had a quick huddle just before the faceoff, Kopitar said. We didnt draw it up quite as good as we executed, but well take it.

encoreguy needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 184 designs submitted by 40 freelance designers.
EncoreConnect is a start-up non-profit agency based in San Francisco that places dedicated, experienced adults in meaningful part-time jobs in social purpose work in education, healthcare, social service and environmental arenas throughout California.
There is increasing evidence that millions of Americans from the baby boomer generation are seeking ways to find more meaning in their lives and make a difference in their communities. If retired, they don't just want to play golf and bridge all day; if still working or looking for work, there is great interest in switching from private sector jobs to "encore careers" in social purpose work. (See http://www.encore.org for more context on the encore careers movement.) There is huge media interest in the "encore" movement and EncoreConnect is on the leading edge of this phenomenon.
The winning design will appear broadly online and in print, first throughout California and later across the country. We will provide attribution for the designer on our website and could likely have future work as the business expands.
Adults 50+ seeking to improve their communities and be involved through part-time social purpose work (many will be transitioning from private sector jobs), and hiring managers in non-profit agencies. Probably skews 65/45, female/male, highly educated.
We are looking for a clean, elegant logo, and are interested in considering either an all type logo and/or one with a graphic element. It should be no more than two color and also have black & white and knockout (all white) versions that work. We also want to see how the tagline - Experience. Passion. Purpose. - would be incorporated in terms of type and color. Because we are targeting multiple industries, including education, healthcare, social services and environment – green could be problematic as it may be seen as environmental.
In surveys and focus groups, some thought EncoreConnect conjured up a dating service or online ticketing service for theatre or music events, so it's important to avoid designs that indicate technology or music/performance, or dating. Our assumption is that the tagline (Experience. Passion. Purpose.) will help avoid some confusion.
Required File Formats
Please submit in .eps and .pdf
Lastly, as part of the final commissioned agreement the copyright will be sold to us as part of the contractual arrangement.

U.S. stocks and bonds have been giving different signals about the economy in what\'s turning out to be a bit of \"schizophrenia\" for weary investors, according to renowned economist Nouriel Roubini.
Stocks have been plodding higher in 2014, even after a momentous rally last year, suggesting a positive outlook on economy and corporate health. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is poised to cross 17,000 if stocks continue their run. Meanwhile, bond yields have fallen sharply for much of the year, defying the expectations of most investors, who expected interest rates to rise as the economy improved.
So which market is right? If forced to choose, Roubini would pick bonds, which are telegraphing slower economic growth, he said during a panel discussion Tuesday hosted by Aberdeen Asset Management.
\"I am still of the view that most economic growth might surprise to the downside,\" he said. The economist added that if equities rise another 30% this year, as the S&P 500 index did last year, we\'d likely be in \"frothy\" territory.
Roubini, who co-founded and chairs Roubini Global Economics, is best known for predicting the collapse of the housing market, which spiraled into a financial crisis in 2008. While he is still prone looking for economic risks, he took a somewhat positive tone, in line with other comments he made recently expressing relative optimism about growth. He cited fading risks about the a breakup of the euro zone, declining worries about U.S. fiscal policy, and progress made by Japan in jump-starting its economy after a prolonged tangle with deflation.
Nonetheless, Roubini isn\'t referred to as \"Dr. Doom\" for nothing. He gave a keynote speech outlining the six key risks he sees to the global economy. Two were devoted to the U.S. Federal Reserve; he suggested that as the central bank eventually normalizes monetary policy it could run into trouble if it moves too quickly — or too slowly. In other words, they\'re damned if they do, and damned if they don\'t.
The Fed could decide to raise its key lending rate — dragging a wide array of borrowing costs higher — if growth picks up, he said. Rates could also rise earlier if the new members of the central bank\'s policy committee tack hawkish, as many of them are expecting to do. Either way, surprising the market with higher rates could bring growth to a screeching halt.
But if the Fed moves too slowly, it could risk encouraging the types of asset bubbles that led to the last financial crisis, he said. Roubini has said in the past that we are at the beginning of a credit bubble.
\"It\'s not a problem today, but it\'s something to get concerned about\" down the road, he said.
The other risks on his dashboard are ones he has talked about in the past: A hard landing for China as its economy matures, and the slowdown could be even sharper than expected; emerging markets, where tailwinds for those countries are turning into headwinds; geopolitical tensions, such as the crisis in Ukraine; and the rise of nationalist tendencies in many governments, particularly in Asia.
\"It\'s still a relatively risky world in which things could go wrong down the line,\" he concluded.
[This post has been updated with a full account of Roubini\'s comments.]

Science embraces the concept of weakly held strong ideas. This was illustrated recently by the excited reaction of the High-Energy Physics (HEP) community to a recent experiment. ("Measurement of the neutrino velocity with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam", arXiv:1109.4897v1) If confirmed, it puts into doubt the speed of light as an absolute limit. The relevant paper is available through arXiv, which started as a HEP preprint repository and blazed a trail for Open Access. In light of the origins of the Open Access Movement, let us again be inspired by the HEP community and its willingness to follow experiments, wherever they may lead. Assessing the ongoing Open Access experiment, where are our doubts? I have three.
Is Affordable Better than Free?
All else being equal, open is better than closed. But… all else is not equal. A robust and user-friendly network of open scholarly systems seems farther away than ever because of inexpertly formatted content and bad, incomplete, and non-public (!) metadata. While there is always room for improvement, pay-walled journals provide professionally formatted and organized content with excellent metadata and robust services. The problem is cost. Unfortunately, we did nothing to reduce cost. We only negotiated prices.
What if we could significantly reduce cost by implementing pay walls differently? The root of the problem is site licenses. For details, see "What if Libraries were the Problem?", "Libraries: Paper Tigers in a Digital World", "The Fourth Branch Library", and "The Publisher's Dilemma". Site licenses are market-distorting products that preserve paper-era business processes of publishers, aggregators, and libraries.
Universities can cut the Gordian knot right now by replacing site licenses with direct subsidies to researchers. After a few months of chaos, consumer-oriented services with all kinds of pricing models would emerge. Researchers, empowered to make individual price-value judgments, would become consumers in a suddenly competitive market for content and information services. The inception of a vibrant marketplace is impossible as long as universities mindlessly renew site licenses.
What are the Goals of Institutional Repositories?
Open Access advocates have articulated at least five goals for institutional repositories: (1) release hidden information, (2) rein in journal prices, (3) archive an institution's scholarly record, (4) enable fast research communication, and (5) provide free access to author-formatted articles.
Institutional repositories are ideal vehicles for releasing hidden information that, until recently, had no suitable distribution platform (1). For example, archives must protect original pieces, but they can distribute the digitized content.
The four remaining goals, all related to scholarly journals, are more problematic. Institutional repositories fall short as a mechanism to rein in journal prices (2), because they are not a credible alternative for the current archival scholarly record. Without (2), goals (3), (4), and (5) are irrelevant. If we pay for journals anyway, we can achieve (3) by maintaining a database of links to the formal literature. Secure in the knowledge that their journals are not in jeopardy, publishers would be happy to provide (4) and (5).
A scenario consistent with this analysis is unfolding right now. The HEP community launched a rescue mission for HEP journals, which lost much of their role to arXiv. The SCOAP3 initiative pools funds currently spent on site-licensing HEP journals. This strikes me as a heavy-handed approach to protect existing revenue streams of established journals. On the other hand, SCOAP3 protects the quality of the HEP archival scholarly record and converts HEP journals to the open-access model.
Are Open-Access Journals a Form of Vanity Publishing?
If a journal's scholarly discipline loses influence or if its editorial board lowers its standards, the journal's standing diminishes and various quality assessments fall. In these circumstances, a pay-walled journal loses subscribers and, eventually, fails. An open-access journal, on the other hand, survives as long as it attracts a sufficient number of paying authors (perhaps by lowering standards even further). Financial viability of a pay wall is a crude measure of quality, but it is nonnegotiable and cannot be rationalized away: the journal fails, its editorial board disappears, its scholarly discipline loses some of its stature, and its authors must publish elsewhere.
We should not overstate this particular advantage of the pay wall. Publishers have kept marginal pay-walled journals alive through bundling and consortium incentives, effectively using strong journals to shore up weak ones. Open-access journals may not be perfect, but we happily ignore some flaws in return for free access to the scholarly record. For now, open-access journals are managed by innovators out to prove a point. Can successive generations maintain quality despite a built-in incentive to the contrary?

When Michael Halsband announced, "I'm into photography," to his parents at age 10, they promised to buy him a camera if he was still into it in a year. A few years later, he had gained admission to the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan, photographed the likes of Andy Warhol, David Byrne and Klaus Nomi (the latter for his senior thesis)—and earned that camera. A year after graduating, he was photographing Keith Richards for the cover of Rolling Stone.
Mr. Halsband will be one of 10 presenters at the eighth edition of PechaKucha Night Hamptons at the Parrish Art Museum this Friday, June 13. The program, now in its third year, introduces the community to some of its most intriguing members through rapid-fire presentations about living creatively on the East End. Each speaker shows 20 slides for 20 seconds, sharing a life of creativity in six minutes and 40 seconds.
Organized at the Parrish by Curator of Special Projects Andrea Grover, who recently won a major award given for innovation, PechaKucha presentations began in Tokyo—PechaKucha means "chit-chat" in Japanese—in 2003 and are now given all over the world in over 700 cities.
Friday's presenters include May Castleberry, who edits and produces hand-bound books for the Library Council of the Museum of Modern Art; artist Mirella Cheeseman, creator of the food and culture blog Santosha; painter Sabra Moon Elliot; Mr. Halsband; artist and educator John Messinger of East Hampton; Greenport oyster farmer Michael Osinski; Shinnecock Indian Nation member James Keith Phillips, who is a writer, celebrated Eastern war dancer and licensed clinical social worker; mixed-media artist and award-winning photographer Bastienne Schmidt; Ezra Thompson, a featured artist at the 2013 "Artists Choose Artists" exhibition at the Parrish; and beekeeper Mary Woltz, founder and owner of Bees' Needs.
After his Keith Richards cover shoot, Mr. Halsband was asked by Mick Jagger to join the group as the tour photographer for the Rolling Stones' 1981-82 "Tattoo You" North American tour. Several years later, he created his most iconic photograph, a portrait of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat wearing boxing gloves. He spent the next decades making album covers, photographing fashion and portraits, and working on international ad campaigns.
As of Monday, Mr. Halsband had not pinned down his strategy in fitting a portfolio onto 20 slides that spans more than three decades and the stories that would naturally come from going on tour with the Rolling Stones, directing a Li'l Bow Wow television commercial or creating a series of pin-up photograph and portraits of strippers and sex industry workers.
Raised in New York City but having grown to love the East End, Mr. Halsband is also a filmmaker and surfer. He founded Surf Movie Night in East Hampton and juries the Atlantic Vibrations film program at the Parrish, which premiered last summer. On Friday, however, he will focus on the hobby he found when he was 10: photography.
"I've taken on such a big monster by just even trying to encapsulate my life into six minutes and 40 seconds, so I feel like I would be cheating people if I started showing any film," he said, adding he would give "background stories of the images and how I came to take them, the adventures I had."
The portfolios and areas of expertise of the presenters are as varied as the roster itself. Mixed media artist Bastienne Schmidt works with photography, drawing and painting in her Bridgehampton studio.
Ms. Schmidt's presentation will focus on "the sense of personal space that we create," she said Monday, adding she will speak of her latest book and accompanying exhibition, "Topography of Quiet," opening June 28 at Ille Arts in Amagansett.
"I grew up in Greece, Italy, Germany and the United States, so for me it's always a very important concept to really be in a place and to be inspired by it. And to take something with me from that place, but also to create topology to compare things and structures, because every place is so different," she said.
The rapid-fire format of the PechaKucha presentations, Ms. Schmidt added, "really makes you revisit how you want to present something, because it's not necessarily about, 'Oh, I want to show my 15 most beautiful paintings. It's more like, you take the audience onto a journey."
"It's a great way to introduce somebody from the community, to know what they're really about and it makes you curious to know more," she added.
There is much to learn about each of the 10 presenters Friday. Beekeeper Mary Woltz calls "the girls," her bees, the hardest working members of the food chain.
"Powwow season is in full swing," tribal dancer James Keith Phillips said in an email Monday. A member of the Shinnecock Indian Nation, which has one of the 10 great powwows held in the United States, according to USA Today, Mr. Phillips is also a writer and social worker.
Artist John Messinger grew up in East Hampton and was the Watermill Center's 20th annual International Artist in Residence. His recent works include "Facebook Makes Us Lonely" and "Learning to Meditate."
To answer the first question he ever heard, his father's panicked, "Is he breathing?" when he was born in a Volvo in Midtown Manhattan traffic, Mr. Messinger went on a trip exploring the country, resulting in "Learning to Meditate."
"Throughout the course of my trip, I learned, and have been relearning each day since, that meditation, like art, will never provide me with the whole picture," Mr. Messinger said on his website. "Notions of truth, like our views of self, are too big, too mercurial, too slippery to hold. Instead, our thoughts, like images, must be accepted as fragments, that when considered and held together in light, can sometimes offer us an alternate perspective."
Perhaps those fragments will be in 20-second intervals Friday.
PechaKucha Night Hamptons, Vol. 8 at the Parrish Art Museum is Friday, June 13, at 6 p.m. For more information, visit parrishart.org or call (631) 283-2118.
