As I enter my final week of summer vacation (and honestly, where did this vacation go!), I have time to update on my progress toward the 2,000 hours project. In June, I spent 66.2 hours working on school related things with about 40 of those hours spent in workshops, conferences, and professional learning opportunities. The rest was devoted to lesson planning. So far this month, I've spent about 32 hours working on lesson plans and preparing materials for the classroom. I expect that number could nearly double this week since school work is high on my priority list. To see the complete and frequently updated breakdown of how I'm spending my time, click here.
I'm very excited about going back to school next week, but more than a little bit wary, too. My due date is only 5 weeks away, and while I'm miserably pregnant at this point and dying to meet my little one, I do not want to give up a single second of time in my classroom. There is so much that I want to and need to accomplish with my class before I leave, and it kills me to know that I'll have to entrust my students to someone else for 12 weeks. I'm sure the sub will be fabulous, but it's going to be tough to give up the reins for a while. I'm trying to figure out some ways that I can stay involved--such as implementing a digital writer's workshop so I can read their writing and give feedback on it--but there are a lot of variables at play that I'll still need to investigate. I'll update more on that as I figure it out.
Nothing new to report on the iPad front. I've been playing with my personal iPad all summer, but I haven't gotten one from the district yet. Hopefully that will happen next week!
Back to planning...

Decades of progress by the U.S. Corps of Engineers in flood control and navigation in the lower Mississippi River Valley are threatened with "being decimated or eliminated" due to federal budget cuts, the president of Mississippi's Delta Council says.
"As Congress and the White House entertain the talking heads on Fox News, major highway construction legislation, water resource developments for the transport of commerce in this nation … will be cracking around its foundation," Cass Pennington told the Mississippi River Commission at its public hearing at Greenville, Miss.
The commission, in a series of public hearings at ports along the Mississippi River, presented details of how proposed cuts to the Corps of Engineers budget could adversely impact transport of goods — including a large percentage of the nation's grains shipped into export — on the big river, its tributaries, and lakes that are under the Corps' purview.
While the 112th Congress went to Washington in January with a strong message from the November 2010 elections that spending reform and fiscal responsibility were top priorities, Pennington said "We never once heard media reports indicating that the public was telling Congress to drastically cut our nation's commitment to maintenance or construction of infrastructure improvements throughout the U.S."
It is "appalling," he said, "that instead of including all defense and entitlement spending as a part of its effort to reduce the deficit, Congress has essentially chosen to identify a small percentage of the federal government's discretionary accounts, and has either drastically reduced or eliminated them."
Flood control and navigation in the lower Mississippi River Valley, and virtually all of the previously authorized features of the Mississippi Rivers and Tributaries Act, "are being decimated," Pennington said.
"Rather than talking about the accomplishments of the Corps of Engineers in establishing a new 'gold standard' for achieving higher water quality through a channel enlargement project on Steele Bayou in Mississippi, we are saddened to report that the continued progress of the Corps in improving water quality on major tributaries of the Mississippi River is being eliminated due to the political rhetoric surrounding the elimination of congressional directives."
Those directives, Pennington noted, constitute only seven-tenths of one percent of the federal budget, "and they are never in addition to or over budget allocations — rather, they are within and under the approved budget."
It is Delta Council's view, he said, that congressionally-authorized activities that are major pieces of a comprehensive plan for flood protection and environmental restoration in a balanced approach "do not represent the type of deficit reduction many people envisioned when they went to the polls last November.
Not a viable solution
"We have not spoken with a single congressional office since November that believes the elimination or drastic reduction in projects that constitute less than seven-tenths of one percent of the federal budget represents a viable method for addressing the nation's $1.9 trillion annual budget deficit.
"Instead of crippling our nation's infrastructure improvements — including highways, navigation, port development, flood protection, and ecosystems restoration — the people in our region are telling us that all federal spending should be considered for the purposes of deficit reduction, not just those congressionally authorized projects that constitute less than seven-tenths of one percent of the nation's total federal outlays."
And he said, "the pressing need to have a new generation of competitively-educated young people move into our society" will be crippled by proposed drastic cuts in the Pell grant programs for higher education, "which have enabled a large percentage of our rural population to attend two-year and four-year colleges."
Eighty-five percent of all federal spending is for defense and entitlement outlays, Pennington noted.
"If these two budget items do not proportionally participate in deficit reduction, it is our view that the ongoing congressional debate about deficit reduction is disingenuous."
The Delta Council, Pennington said, "continues to support all of the previously authorized flood control, navigation, and port development activities" of the Corps, and expressed gratitude for "the positive work performed by the Corps in the Mississippi Delta over the past 75 years."
The nation has a $13.6 billion investment in projects on the Mississippi River and its tributaries, said Maj. Gen. Michael Walsh, who commands the Corps' Mississippi Valley Division and serves as president of the Mississippi River Commission.
Walsh, whose previous service was in Iraq, is responsible for $7.5 billion in civil works programs and plays a vital role in managing the Corps' water resources program in the Mississippi Valley Division.
Estimates are, Walsh said, that investments in Corps flood control projects, including 3,486 miles of levees in place, have prevented $370 billion in property loss and damage, with some 4 million people protected.
"This represents a 27-to-1 return on the money invested."
Federal budget appropriations for the Corps have averaged about $300 million per year, Walsh noted. In fiscal 2011, that was cut to $240 million and the fiscal 2012 budget is pegged for further cuts to $210 million.
Four major program elements
The Mississippi River Commission is charged with carrying out the comprehensive river management program known as the Mississippi River and Tributaries (MR&T) project, which was authorized through the Flood Control Act of 1928. The four major elements of the MR&T project are levees for containing flood flows; floodways for the passage of excess flows past critical reaches of the Mississippi River; channel improvement and stabilization to provide an efficient and reliable navigation channel, increase the flood-carrying capacity of the river, and protect the levee system; and tributary basin improvements for major drainage basins to include dams and reservoirs, pumping plants, auxiliary channels and pumping stations.
The MR&T project is the largest flood control project in the world, providing protection to the 36,000 square-mile lower Mississippi Valley.
"It represents one of mankind's most successful civil works projects and one of the wisest investments," Walsh said.
Nearing completion — with a June 1 schedule date — is the hurricane risk reduction system at New Orleans.
"This $14.5 billion project has been our No. 1 priority," he said, "and represents the largest civil works project in the Corps' history. It involves over 300 contracts and includes the world's largest pumping system. It represents world class work."
Rear Adm. Jonathan Bailey, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a commission member, said the hearings have produced "collectively dramatic testimony" as to the value of the Mississippi River and its tributary system to the nation's commerce.
"With a $14 trillion national deficit, I think everyone feels something needs to be done. But I don't think everyone realizes how dramatic are the cuts being proposed and the reality of how it will affect businesses, services, and the economy if these facilities can't be properly maintained, or if some of them have to be shut down."
The public needs to be reminded, Col. Walsh said, "that the U.S. is a maritime nation, and this system is important to the nation's economy and security. Even though our nation is in a post-affluent era, facing serious fiscal constraints and much public pessimism, we have to figure ways to recapitalize and move forward."
Sam Angel, commission member from Lake Village, Ark., said Congress' rush to accede to public demands to eliminate spending "earmarks" has hampered ongoing support for many infrastructure programs.
"Earmarks could've cured a lot of the problems we've heard about," he said. "We've got to keep this river system funded and operating. We don't want to have to start shutting down vital facilities."

Erie County Sheriff Timothy B. Howard reports an investigation is ongoing into what his office is calling an attempted suicide by a person in custody at the Town of Grand Island Court Monday morning.
Sean C. Riordan, age 20, of Grand Island, had just been arraigned before Judge Mark Frentzel, and was properly secured and being led out of the Town Hall courtroom at about 11:39 a.m., when he ran from the deputies who were escorting him and jumped over a railing on the second floor. He fell approximately 15 feet to the floor below.
Detective Brian O'Hara and Deputy Anthony Yavicoli provided immediate first aid, and the Grand Island Fire Co. responded to the scene to assist. Riordan was transported by ambulance to the Erie County Medical Center, where he is still being treated at this time. His condition is listed as stable.
Riordan had been arrested by sheriff's deputies on Saturday, Nov. 17, at his residence in the Town of Grand Island. While on patrol in District 1 at approximately 3:20 p.m., Deputy Chris Ginnane and Deputy Chris Soluri of the sheriff's Grand Island substation responded to a 911 complaint of a disturbance a man, identified as a roommate, had reported that Riordan had stabbed him with a knife during an argument.
Riordan was charged with assault in the second degree, a class D felony; criminal possession of a weapon in the fourth degree, and menacing in the second degree, both of which are class A misdemeanors. He was then transported to the Erie County Holding Center pending arraignment and brought back to Town Hall Monday morning.
According to the sheriff's office, their preliminary investigation shows that all sheriff's office policies and regulations had been adhered to by the deputies who were transporting Riordan.
The investigation is continuing under the direction of Senior Detective James Hatch and O'Hara.

We then have two matches from the 1970s. First is a home match in the FA Cup against Newcastle United from 1976, and this is followed by a tense last match of the season from a little over twelve months later, against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Burnden Park.
Next up comes a marathon series of matches from the 1989 League Cup against Swindon Town, which required three replays before finally being settled, and then, from four years later, we see the team travel to Anfield to play Liverpool in the FA Cup in a replay after the two sides had drawn their first match. Our final match comes from the 2003/04 season, and sees Bolton travel to Ewood Park to play Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League.

RaboDirect PRO12
Ryan Jones to miss start of the season
ESPN Staff
August 12, 2012
Ospreys and Wales back-row forward Ryan Jones is expected to be sidelined for the next six weeks © PA Photos
The Ospreys have been dealt a big blow on the eve of the new RaboDirect PRO12 campaign with the news that Ryan Jones will miss the start of the season.
The former Wales captain has undergone surgery on his knee after aggravating an old injury during pre-season training with the Swansea-based region and is expected to be sidelined for six weeks.
As a result the 31-year-old is unlikely to come into contention until the Ospreys' fifth PRO12 game of the season against Munster at the Liberty Stadium on September 29. His injury will also be a cause for concern for Wales boss Warren Gatland given his form last season but he should still be fit for the opening autumn international against Argentina at the Millennium Stadium on November 10.
The Ospreys' head physio Chris Towers, said: "After undergoing investigation and bearing in mind where we are in the season, it was agreed that the best course of management was for Ryan to have some minor keyhole surgery.
"The early prediction sees him back available around the six week mark."

Minority and Non-Traditional Law Students / Re: Going to night school this fall and just started a new job...« on: July 26, 2011, 09:04:36 PM »
Thanks everyone for the tips. I guess my plan right now is to go to work and just not mention it, then if it does come out, treat it like it's no big deal. On the plus side, I work for a company with 25K+ employees and they do have legal positions I'd be very interested in. I guess we'll see how it goes, but many thanks to those that took the time to answer my post. I appreciate the suggestions and will keep those in mind as I navigate these waters.

House Democrats are divided on how to proceed with the special Benghazi committee created last week--and Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi is still mulling what to do.
"The point is we want to show the public how unfair this process is. It should be evenly divided," she told CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" Wednesday. "We said should have equal access to witnesses. They said you may not even ever have access to witnesses."
The committee will have seven Republicans and five Democrats. Pelosi wants 50-50, though when she was speaker in 2007, she backed creation of a special global warming panel with more Democrats than Republicans.
Pelosi, D-Calif., told CNN "I think what they have in mind is to control the documents, to control the witnesses, come to their own conclusions. We'll have to make a decision as to what the best way is to showcase their unfairness."
Blitzer pointed out that the committee is "a done deal."
Pelosi promised, "I'll make a decision about it. I just want to show the terms under which we would go in or not go in."
Asked when she'd decide, Pelosi said, "When I do."
She pointed out Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, suggested they meet before proceeding, and they have not yet had that meeting. The House is in a recess this week and returns Monday.

The study not only identifies an important targeting mechanism in transplanted stem cells but also provides a blueprint for engineering stem cell-based therapies for multiple sclerosis and other chronic neurological diseases in which inflammation occurs.
The researchers used adult neural stem cells to treat mice with a disease similar to MS that destroys myelin, the protective tissue coating on nerves, causing chronic pain and loss of motor function. Adult neural stem cells have shown the ability to change or differentiate into oligodendrocytes, the building blocks of myelin, and repair or replace affected tissue.
In the mice, inflammatory cells - reacting to the virally induced nerve damage - were observed activating receptors on the adult neural stem cells. These CXCR-4 receptors, in turn, recruited chemokine proteins called CXCL-12 that guided the stem cells to specific sites. Chemokines are produced in acute and chronic inflammation to help mobilize white blood cells.
As the stem cells migrated through the central nervous system, they began to transform into the precursor cells for oligodendrocytes. Latching onto their repair sites, they continued the differentiation process. Three weeks after the initial treatment, 90 percent of the cells had grown into fully formed oligodendrocytes.
"Previously, we've seen that adult neural stem cells injected into the spinal column knew, amazingly, exactly where to go," said Lane, professor of molecular biology and biochemistry. "We wanted to find what directed them to the right injury spots."
In earlier work, Lane and colleagues demonstrated that adult neural stem cell treatments improved motor function in mice with chronic MS symptoms.
"In this study, we've taken an important step by showing the navigational cues in an inflammatory environment like MS that guide stem cells," said Lane. "Hopefully, these cues can be incorporated into stem cell-based treatments to enhance their ability to repair injury."

What does it mean to be a good citizen?
First-graders from Lancaster Elementary School spent the day learning exactly that on Thursday, Oct. 3.
The students spent time at the Huntington Fire Department, mayor's office, police department and Love INC as part of their Huntington Citizenship Field Trip.
Starting the day at the fire department, students were given the opportunity to meet firefighters and see where they work and sleep at the fire station.
Jeanne Paff, first grade teacher, says the firefighters were able to explain to her students that no matter what, no matter when - even if they are in the shower - if the fire alarm goes off, their response must be immediate.
Paff says the children also saw how different a firefighter's schedule is from a regular citizen's. Students saw the sleeping quarters, the firefighter's pole and also interacted with a firefighter in full gear.
"It showed them what to expect, and how a firefighter would look and sound (in an emergency situation)," Paff explains.
Students then traveled to the mayor's office, where Paff says the students learned how the mayor got his job, and also met the clerk/treasurer.
Paff says students asked questions like "What happens if the money runs out?" and then answered a poll, whether or not the they thought chickens should be allowed in town - a hot topic among city officials currently.
"They thought it would be a good idea, and the eggs would be very healthy," Paff says with a smile.
Afterward, the students traveled to the police station, where they met the police chief and talked about how the police force keeps people safe.
Paff says here they learned about the difference between a police officer and fireman's schedule, and the importance of helping people in our community.
Paff was pleased when her students who asked how to become a police officer were met with the answer of the importance of education - particularly graduating from college.
"We just came off a week of promoting college graduation, so that was a great tie-in," she notes.
After leaving the police station, they went to their last stop on the tour - Love INC.
Love INC, or Love In the Name of Christ, serves those in need through their food pantry and resale shop.
Unanimously, this was the students' favorite stop.
Here, Paff says the lesson was two-fold.
"We wanted them to bring in donated food, and to understand the importance of volunteering," she says.
The students boxed food for shelving in the establishment's food panty and took a tour of the entire building, including the offices and Covered with Love - the resale store.
"My favorite part was helping put away the stuff (cans of food)," says student Tony Decker. "Because when I put away things, I feel good about myself for helping people."
Decker says he brought in one can of food to donate to the pantry, and he is happy that it will feed a hungry child like himself.
"This is different than I expected," he says of the pantry, "I thought it would be bigger."
His classmate, Claire Eckert, also enjoyed her visit to Love INC.
"The part with the cans was my favorite," she says. "People that don't have jobs and have kids that are hungry can come eat it."
She says knowing she is helping those people makes her feel - in a word - "happy."
The pair worked with another student, Jamison Martz, during their stop at the food pantry. The trio worked together to help open boxes of canned goods and transport them from that box to smaller containers so they could be placed on shelves for donation.
Originally published Oct. 3, 2013.
Together, the three of them sped through each box, finishing transporting the goods almost as soon as the box was put down in front of them.
"(My class) is a great group of kids," says Paff.
Lancaster first-graders take this field trip each year, explains Paff.
She says the purpose is to learn what it means to be good community members - to be leaders and helpers. She says it helps students to understand what it means to have a job and be responsible, but most of all she says, "It teaches ways all of us can help each other."
Complete caption: Lancaster Elementary School first-graders Tony Decker (left), Jamison Martz (top right) and Claire Eckert help transport canned goods from large boxes to smaller cardboard pallets so the cans can easily be accessed on shelves in the Love INC food pantry. The students volunteered their help as part of their Huntington Citizenship Field Trip on Thursday, Oct. 3.

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for February to a team from the Street Maintenance Operations Division of the Public Works and Utilities Department: Equipment Operators Douglas Miller, Gale Ogg and Lance Sittner. Miller has worked for the City since 1990, Ogg since 1979 and Sittner since 2004.
The monthly award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. The award was presented at the beginning of today's City Council meeting.
The team was nominated for its actions to help citizens in distress on two occasions. Supervisor John Rausch nominated the team in the category of valor. The Award of Excellence Committee also recognized the team in the category of customer relations for representing the City in a positive manner.
The first incident occurred in January when the crew was filling washouts behind curbs on North 27th Street and Wildcat Drive. Sittner saw a woman running from the Victorian Inn, who told him her two-year old daughter was missing. Miller dialed 911 and gave his phone to the mother. As police headed to the scene, the three City employees began searching for the toddler in the marshy, wetland area near the motel that includes tall grass and small ponds. After an unsuccessful search, they checked with the motel office and the child was found unharmed after a room-to-room search.
Another incident occurred about three years ago when the team helped a mother and child involved in a traffic crash that occurred over the lunch hour in front of the maintenance shop at 33rd and Baldwin. Sittner and Miller called 911, made sure the child was okay and comforted the victim lying on the ground. One of the men ran back to the shop for a first aid kit and wet rags, while the other man stayed on site directing traffic and waited for emergency personnel.
Rausch wrote in his nomination: "These men show the best kind of initiative. They are alert and responsive to the needs of the community we serve. I am very proud of them and feel they highly deserve the recognition of this award."
The other categories in which employees can be nominated are productivity, loss prevention and safety. Consideration also may be given to nominations that demonstrate self-initiated accomplishments or those completed outside of the nominee's job description.
All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected and appointed officials. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public. Nomination forms are available at lincoln.ne.gov (keyword: personnel) or from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program.
All nominations are considered by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor. Award winners receive a $50 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. Monthly winners and nominees are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $250 U.S. savings bond, two days off with pay and a plaque.

I'm planning on going to Costa Rica in March, and wonder if anyone else has been there? The two spots I keep hearing about are Bahia de Salinas and Lake Arenal.
I did find these old threads about Costa Rica on this forum (which I'll be reading):
and some older ones. Wondering if anyone is going this year, and/or have additional hints not already covered in those threads.

I am tired and grumpy. The "busy" season at work is soon over. I work for a company in the Christmas business. We distribute seasonal merchandise. Each year, I hire and train seasonal customer service representatives to work seven weeks in a demanding call center environment.
Overall, we have great customers. It is nice seeing our regular customers who stop in for their order. I am sad when I hear an "old timer" in the business has died. This year, a few of the customers have been especially challenging. In an effort to put this season behind me, I present suggestions on How To Be A Good Customer.
1. "What do you mean?!!!" is not an appropriate response when told an item is out of stock.
2. Please refrain from using "Gimme". Gimme a case of stands Gimme a box of rings.
3. It is really difficult to hear if you are on speaker phone.
4. Please do not call in with an order and put us on hold to answer your other line.
5. Please have your order ready. Going through the 30 page catalog...one page at a time should be done before you call.
6. Please do not swear at us when we tell you there are no parts available for an obsolete machine.
7. Know who you are. The database has over 10,000 customers....many with the name evergreen somewhere in the title. The call will be much smoother if you know your customer number or at least the name your account was set up in.
8. Freight charges are an expensive part of doing business.
9. If our published pick up hours begin at 8:30, please do not arrive early to get a "jump on your day".
10. Do not ask us to leave your order outside for you to pickup after hours. We cannot.
In other news, I should resume regular posting in a week. Thank you to the readers and followers of this blog for bearing with the lapse in posting.

The customer should always say "Please" and "Thank you" to the person providing the service! You're a gem, Michele, for dealing with people in this capacity!!

As for me, on being a good customer, you just have to respect one another. Everybody has it's own problem and you don't have to blame it to the first person you see.

Sparta emerged victorious, while the constant fighting left Athens bankrupt, exhausted and demoralized. Neither city-state regained the military strength they once had.

Bullying comes in many forms.
Ask Miami Dolphin tackle Jonathan Martin and he'll tell you your coworkers could be bullying you.
Or ask the father of a player whose team, Western Hills High School, recently lost 91-0 to Aledo High School in Texas.
Heck, just look around and you will find bullying.
The problem is that a lot of us look at bullying, but don't see it.
For Martin, what should have been a quick hazing of a rookie, second-round player turned into a year and a half of constant snubs.
Martin, who went on personal leave Oct. 28, is no dummy. He's a Stanford grad. Both of his parents are attorneys who attended Harvard.
And he could have gone the fisticuffs route, too, to get even. After all, he's a 6-foot-5, 312-pound offensive lineman (something the Dolphins can ill afford to lose).
Instead, when teammates got up and left when he tried to join them for lunch, Martin headed the other direction and out the door.
The problem in Miami is that no one, from coaches to management to senior players, stood up and said enough is enough. Stop the bullying and get back to playing football.
Playing football, and doing it well, appear to have put a Texas 4A football team in the limelight due to its being just a bit too proficient.
Aledo is beating opponents this year by an average score of 69.3 points a game en route to a 7-0 record.
Heck, you might say, that's just Texas football. No other state in the union takes the game as serious on Friday nights.
But a parent said in a complaint to the school district, that Aledo was encouraged to run up the score by coach Tim Buchanan, and by doing so was bullying Western.
The complaint, made public Oct. 29, alleges "both" teams were victims of the Aledo coaching staff. The complaint claimed "everyone in the football stadium" was a witness Buchanan and his staff's "unsportsmanlike conduct."
Buchanan said he pulled his starters after the first quarter and was playing third-string players by the end of the contest. The coach also asked officials for a running clock, but it's only used for six-man in Texas.
There is a mercy rule in this state for all levels when a team amasses a large lead.
"It wasn't good for anybody," Buchanan said in a MyFoxDFW.com online story. "I've sat and gone over and over and over it on what we could have done differently. The score could have very easily been 150 to nothing."
Bullying is a buzzword almost as powerful as Kardashian and Coug It, all of which make me a bit queasy when I hear them.
Maybe Texas officials should sit down and ponder what kind of future is being created with lopsided scores in any sport, from football to basketball to baseball.
Heck, the alleged deadly shooter at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday is now described as having been bullied. The former youth baseball player is described as quiet, which leads people to think he's been bullied.
The earlier we intervene when seeing bullying, and knowing the difference between fair play and foul play, the better our world and sports experience will be.

Seed science
Fundamental seed biology
The research group investigates challenges associated with the conservation and sustainable use of seeds, mainly using fundamental scientific approaches to understand how seeds respond to stress and the surrounding environment, how embryos undergo the developmental shift from the dormant to the germinative state, and how seed chemistry varies between species.
The group has a range of specialist knowledge (biotechnology, molecular biology, biochemistry, ecology, biophysics, cryobiology and population modelling) and access to modern laboratories and equipment, including gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, differential scanning calorimetery and quantitative PCR.
Our research has strong international connections with more than 60 countries, and a post-graduate student constituency of about 20 individuals. Staff publish their findings in a range of media, including high quality scientific journals (eg New Phytologist, Plant Cell and Environment, and Journal of Experimental Botany). In addition to supporting numerous journal editorial boards, staff hold grants from the EU and research agencies.
Four themes
There are four inter-related themes which address our research in seed science:
- Stress and Survival - Understanding why and how seeds die during storage and/or desiccation, and determining the factors involved in survival of other stresses eg salt, heat, cold.
- Seed Futures - Identifying new, alternative crops for sustainable agriculture from neglected and under-utilised species (NUS) through the biochemical characterisation of seeds and assessment for functional and nutritional traits.
- Frozen Planet - Development of predictive tools and low temperature protocols (cryopreservation) that optimise conditions for the successful conservation of tropical and temperate plants, especially threatened species.
- Sleeping Beauties - Understanding the complex nature of seed dormancy of wild plant species, and assessing how seed quality and germination kinetics contribute to species resilience in a changing environment.
Applied seed biology and technology
We are always looking for new ways to improve seed conservation. Our work in seed banking technology aims to improve the techniques, equipment and methods that we use in order to share this knowledge with our partners.
Our work focuses on wild plant species. To increase the possibility of successfully germinating, growing and using seeds in the future, it is vital that seeds are collected at precisely the right time. Following collection, seeds must be cleaned and dried so they do not deteriorate. Selecting appropriate containers for storage is also important. If seeds are not fully mature when collected, post-harvest ripening methods can be used to help seeds mature and thus improve their storage potential.
We also need to know whether seeds can be safely dried. The seeds of some wild plant species are killed in the process of drying, even when they are fully mature. In seeds that can survive drying, their storage life under identical conditions varies across different plant species. Knowing how long a seed will last under seed bank conditions affects the choice of storage conditions and frequency of seed testing. Comparative longevity testing has enabled us to better understand the optimum conditions for long-term seed storage and how seeds age.
Many seeds from wild plant species have natural mechanisms which ensure that a seed will only germinate under specific environmental conditions at a particular time of year. Seed dormancy is a particular challenge when dealing with wild plant species and is consequently an important area of research at Kew's Millennium Seed Bank. Our success in getting difficult seeds to germinate is based on our understanding of the environment in which we collected our seeds and the plants from which they originated. Using this knowledge, the MSB is currently developing a prototype predictor for the germination of seeds from UK plant species.

Brazilian 'Penis Snake' Discovered in Amazon
It is not difficult to see the obvious similarities between snakes and that all-governing sex organ in your pants: both are long, (technically) boneless and become keenly alert when stalking prey. Now the similarities are down-right uncanny.
Engineers currently building a dam in the Amazon have stumbled upon a species now dubbed the "penis snake." The specimen is a type of caecillian -- a long, limbless amphibian with a distinct purple-ish color that breathes through its vein-lined skin. For those of you who happen to speak Latin, and are fascinated with animal classifications, the snaked are being labeled as Atretochoana eiselti.
The similarities end there though since the animal was measured at 30 inches long and, well, none of us are lucky. One word of advice to any of our female readers: if any guy does indeed show you a trouser snake that big, we suggest you run away, preferably in a side-to-side motion like you would any other snake.

SOURCE: Rainmaker Systems
January 25, 2013 16:01 ET
CAMPBELL, CA--(Marketwire - Jan 25, 2013) - Rainmaker Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: RMKR), a recognized technology leader in the rapidly emerging Commerce-as-a-Service sector, announced today that it is expanding its UK-based Global Commerce Services operation to extend and strengthen its value-added services to enterprise customers. The Global Commerce Services expansion is part of an internal shift in corporate resources previously allocated to Rainmaker's Austin, Texas, facility, which the company expects to wind down within three months.
Rainmaker expects to add approximately 60 employees to the Global Commerce Services facility, whose mission is to provide high-value services to enterprise customers, particularly those using Rainmaker's GrowCommerce platform. At the same time, Rainmaker is winding down its Austin, Texas, facility, which similarly employs approximately 60 employees. Some Austin employees are expected to transition to the company's Global Commerce Services operation.
The shift in resources follows last week's announcement that all of the company's Austin-based finance operations were to migrate to Rainmaker's Silicon Valley headquarters in Campbell, CA, under incoming Chief Financial Officer Mallorie Burak. Today's actions are designed to complete the migration of all of the company's U.S. Finance and Administration functions to the Silicon Valley headquarters.
Rainmaker expects that, after the resource shift is completed in three months, annual savings benefiting operating income will total approximately $750,000. The company expects the transition to result in higher levels of service to customers. Rainmaker intends to provide detail about these actions and its entire 2013 growth initiative in its Q4 2012 earnings announcement and investor call, to be conducted before the end of the current quarter.
"Today's actions are designed to maximize service to Rainmaker's enterprise customers by concentrating resources in our Global Commerce Services operation and at the same time realizing significant operating savings," said Rainmaker Chief Executive Officer Donald J, Massaro, who joined the company last month. "This strategic reallocation is part of a comprehensive 2013 initiative designed to leverage our GrowCommerce platform's extensive scale and provide unsurpassed value to our enterprise customers. We are focusing tightly on business that combines high growth, high value and unsurpassed productivity -- like our unrivaled 28-language, EMEA-based Global Commerce Services operation. Combined with the GrowCommerce platform, our Global Commerce Services provide enterprise customers a turnkey solution that enables quick market entry and rapid growth. This strategic reallocation also logically requires relocating Austin-based operations to our corporate headquarters in Silicon Valley. We are grateful to our Austin-based employees, and we are hopeful that a number of them are able to make the move to our Global Commerce Services organization."
Rainmaker Systems is a recognized technology leader in the rapidly emerging Commerce-as-a-Service sector. Rainmaker's GrowCommerce is designed to be the SaaS Business-to-Business electronic commerce platform of choice for large enterprises that serve the SMB market. At the center of Commerce-as-a-Service, GrowCommerce is an open platform that can be easily integrated with other B2B e-commerce solutions designed and built for the cloud.
Enterprise customers can license the platform on an annual or multi-year basis. Customers can assign the entire function to GrowCommerce or integrate it into their own internal systems. They can combine the GrowCommerce platform with Rainmaker's 28-language, EMEA-based Global Commerce Center for a turnkey solution that enables quick market entry and rapid growth.

A man attempted to flee from officers with the Lexington Police Department by going through an attic space and then on top of a roof as they were in the process of serving several warrants on him Sunday.
A man attempted to flee from officers with the Lexington Police Department by going through an attic space and then on top of a roof as they were in the process of serving several warrants on him Sunday.
Michael Daryl Kiser, 44, of 175 Jersey Lane, has been charged with three counts of resisting public officer, injury to personal property, two counts of felony obtaining property by false pretense, two counts of felony forgery of an instrument, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of controlled substances on prison/jail premises. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under $50,000 and $10,000 secured bonds.
According to an LPD incident report, officers responded to 811 Olympia St. in regard to serving the warrants. Upon arrival, officers saw Kiser through an open window and ordered him to exit the residence to be served with the warrants.
Kiser, the incident report stated, failed to comply with police instruction, barricaded the residence's doors and fled into the attic space. Police said he then kicked out an attic air vent and attempted to flee from police on the rooftop of the residence. Kiser ended up being escorted down a ladder by police and placed in custody, according to the incident report.
The estimated damage to the residence was $700.
According to arrest reports, Kiser resisted arrest earlier this month when he gave a false report and ran from police. Police also stated in an arrest report that Kiser previously fled from officers at the Dollar General Store at 46 U.S. Highway 64 West while they were attempting to investigate a check fraud case in which Kiser was a suspect.
Kiser, according to arrest reports, is accused of forging two checks at the Dollar General and obtaining laundry detergent and cereal in the amount of $94.22 from the store.
Kiser has a court date of Feb. 21.

|Senior Jamie Love-Nichols assisted the second Jumbo goal
CAMBRIDGE – In the first meeting between both programs, the Tufts University women's soccer team defeated host MIT, 2-0, in a non-conference tilt on Tuesday afternoon. The Jumbos, ranked No. 5 in the current NSCAA New England poll, improved to 6-2-2 on the year while the No. 7 Engineers saw their ledger lower to 7-3-2.
MIT nearly opened the scoring in the first minute on a breakaway by first-year Ambika Krishnamachar (Darien, CT), but she was called off-sides. Both sides battled for possession throughout the majority of the half until Tufts broke through in the 28th minute. On a turnover by the Engineers, Jamie Love-Nichols (Cortez, CO) sent a through-ball to Maeve Stewart (Palo Alto, CA) on the near side where she lofted a shot from 20 yards away that went into the far top corner of the goal.
The Cardinal and Gray had two quality chances to tally the equalizer late in the half, but couldn't capitalize on the opportunities. Awarded a free kick just beyond the top of the box, sophomore Samantha Fleischmann's (Eastchester, NY) strike went over the crossbar. Later on following its second corner kick in a row, sophomore Michaelann Rodriguez (Florence, AL) managed to head the ball in the midst of a scramble, but MIT was offsides.
The Jumbos increased their advantage to 2-0 in the 56th minute courtesy of Alyssa Von Puttkammer's (Park City, UT) free kick at the top of the box. Von Puttkammer sent the ball over the wall and forced first-year goalie Emilee Johnson (O'Fallon, MO) to back-pedal while looking into the sun. She punched the ball upwards, but it ricocheted off the crossbar and into the net. Tufts almost struck again seven minutes later when Stewart lobbed a dangerous ball into the box from 30 yards out. However, Johnson grabbed it before the visitors could make a play on it.
The Engineers continued to attack down the stretch, testing goalie Phoebe Hanley (Mamaroneck, NY) who started the second half. Junior Leslie Meyer (Brownsburg, IN) had a 20-yard shot glance off the crossbar while sophomore Kaitlyn Nealon's (Yorktown Heights, NY) 40-yard free kick was easily corralled by Hanley.
In her intercollegiate debut, Johnson finished the game with four saves for MIT. Kristin Wright (Austin, TX) did not face any shots on goal in the first half while Hanley made three stops.
Both squads return to conference play on Saturday. Tufts will host nationally-ranked No. 14 Williams College in a NESCAC match-up. MIT will travel to NEWMAC foe Mount Holyoke College.

The Delaware's Division of Public Health is working to update the Delaware Food Code in 2014.
The Delaware's Division of Public Health is working to update the Delaware Food Code in 2014.
The proposed code will include updating terminology, minor technical corrections and revisions to improve clarity. The code will require that the person in charge of a food establishment be certified through an accredited food protection manager certification program. DPH is considering offering Delaware establishments a grace period beyond the implementation of the new code for this requirement. The terminology "potentially hazardous food (PHF)" will be replaced with "time and temperature controlled for safety (TCS)." Food establishments will now be required to post notification to the public that "a copy of the most recent inspection report is available upon request."
A public comment period on the draft Delaware Food Code opens March 1 with the final version to go into effect prior to the summer of 2014.

Photos of Lost Cities. This site has a large collection of photos from the world's lost and in-ruins cities. The cities are on several different continents and from various ancient time periods. There are a lot of photos here.
The site has a blog which adds commentary on many of the photo collections. For example, the text on the Land of Two Rivers reads, "Punjab comes from two Persian words, panj ("five") and ab ("water"), thus signifying the land of five rivers (the Beas, Chenab, Jhelum, Ravi, and Sutlej). The present Indian state of Punjab is the result of two divisions: a) during the partition of India in 1947, and b) during 1966, when the majority Hindi-speaking areas were separated to form Haryana. "Punjab" is a misnomer today since only two rivers, the Sutlej and the Beas, lie in its territory. Chandigarh, a union territory, is the joint capital of Punjab and Haryana. Cultural clichés associate Punjabis with prosperity, hard work, straight talk, tolerance, a relaxed yet enterprising spirit, stellar contributions to Indian defense, politics, media, sports, and entertainment, a huge presence in Bollywood, truck/cab driving, dhabas and Punjabi food (the best known Indian cuisine worldwide), turban and beard, a butt of ethnic jokes, and a joie de vivre that manifests itself in the exuberant song and dance routines of the bhangra. Women here seem among the freest in the north. Literacy stood at 70% in 2001, higher than the Indian average of 65%. Sikh Gurdwaras are cleaner and more charitable and welcoming to outsiders than most temples and mosques I have visited. From the road, the harsh edge of poverty is visible here far less than in most parts of India."

Slows the speed of light...so, is the tomato younger than it should be when they're done? ;-D

- James Gurney said...
The tomato must be younger, because they call it a "fruit" instead of a "vegetable."
Of course the title of the post is a little misleading, because they don't really slow down the light. Instead they're synchronizing very fast pulses to give that impression.

Fluor Field
Modeled after Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox ;Fluor Field at the West End boasts its own "Green Monster," a 30-foot high wall in left field, equipped with a manual scoreboard. The dimensions all around the outfield wall are to the same specifications as Fenway Park, including "Pesky's Pole" in right field.
Fluor Field at the West End is host to more than the 70 Drive home games fans come to enjoy each season. The popular facility is also host to numerous civic functions, like the United Way's donor recognition event, and special sporting events.
February 26, 2008 - The stadium is officially renamed Fluor Field at the West End after a corporate partnership is reached between the Drive and Fluor Corporation. Co-owner and Team President Craig Brown cites Fluor's devotion to the Upstate community and their employees as reasons for the perfect union of the Drive and Fluor.
September 3, 2007 - For the second straight year the Drive set Greenville's single-season attendance record as 339,810 fans pass through the turnstile. This eclipses the Drive's own record, which was set during the 2006 season by 9,722 fans.
July 27, 2007 - Presidential-hopeful Senator John McCain visits West End Field and is presented a Drive jersey prior to the start of the game. McCain has commented numerous times that his stop at the ballpark rejuvenated his campaign.
June 15, 2007 - Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino throws out the first pitch before the Drive's game against the Columbus Catfish.

February 2, 2007 - $1.5 million in enhancements are announced for West End Field that will be completed prior to the start of the 2007 season. These enhancements include the Bi-Lo Playground, the Coca-Cola Dugout, the Upper Deck, Heritage Plaza, and the 300 Picnic Plateau.
September 19, 2006 - Grammy-award winning artist and Upstate resident Edwin McCain performs at West End Field as part of Southern Exposure. This is the first concert at the ballpark.
September 4, 2006 - The Drive conclude their inaugural season with 330,078 fans passing through the turnstiles. This number eclipses the previous Greenville single-season mark by more the 60,000 fans.
August 31, 2006 - West End Field is selected as the 2006 "Ballpark of the Year" by Ballparks.com. This annual award is given to the best new ballpark, whether it is from the Major Leagues, Minor Leagues, or Independent Leagues. West End Field is chosen over Busch Stadium (St. Louis Cardinals) and Medlar Field at Lubrano Park (State College Spikes).
August 8, 2006 - In front of 4,109 fans, the Drive set the single-season record for fans, surpassing the previous record of 269,525 held by the 1998 Greenville Braves.
May 16, 2006 - The Furman University Paladins and University of South Carolina Gamecocks square off in the first collegiate baseball game played at West End Field. The Gamecocks prevail 16-11.
April 6, 2006 - Less than 11 months after construction began, West End Field opens to a stadium room crowd. The Drive defeat the Columbus Catfish 6-1.
December 12, 2005 - Highly acclaimed groundskeeper and field designer Roger Bossard, and his team, begin to lay the sod at West End Field. Bossard is responsible for the construction of 12 Major League stadium playing fields, as well as the renovation of Boston's Fenway Park.

RICHMOND — West Contra Costa schools trustees overrode objections from a group of anti-military activists and concerned residents in voting Wednesday to fund a Junior ROTC program at De Anza High School beginning next fall.
The decision, by a 4-1 vote, includes a mandate to evaluate the program after a year, a requirement made by board member Randy Enos in return for his yes vote.
As they had at the board's last meeting in May, opponents characterized the proposed Air Force ROTC program as a pipeline into military service where students could later be injured or killed in combat.
Other critics described it as a misuse of public education money and school property.
"We don't have the money to provide Common Core textbooks for seventh grade math," said John Irminger, a teacher at Pinole Middle School. "The same values as JROTC instills can be built with other programs, such as Outward Bound."
But several De Anza students, teachers and parents countered those arguments by saying JROTC boosts school spirit, provides much-needed discipline and gives students the opportunity to take on leadership roles.
"There will be more opportunities to be mentally and physically challenged and to serve my school and community," De Anza student Joseph Quintana said. "(It's about) integrity first and service before self, and there's no obligation to join the military."
The board agreed to allocate $100,000 for the program in February without a formal vote at the request of De Anza Principal Bob Evans.
But after opponents voiced objections at the May 28 meeting, trustees agreed to reconsider the decision.
In the meantime, Evans said an instructor had been hired, about 200 students had signed up and others had been placed on a waiting list.
The instructor, retired Air Force officer Tom Freeland, said the program teaches engineering, math, writing, history and critical thinking. He added the course includes social activities and gives students opportunities for leadership.
Freeland said JROTC students nationwide have better than average school attendance and graduation rates and higher grade-point averages.
"We do not require military service and we're not a pipeline into the military," Freeland said.
Board President Charles Ramsey said JROTC at De Anza will cost less than the district's Mock Trial program, for example, while serving more students.
"I don't understand the idea that students and parents at school sites can't make decisions for themselves about what kinds of programs they want," Ramsey said.
Board members Madeline Kronenberg and Todd Groves joined Ramsey and Enos in voting yes. Elaine Merriweather dissented, saying the resources could better be used on anti-violence programs at schools in troubled neighborhoods.
Later, the board held a second mandatory public hearing about how to spend extra state money earmarked for students from low-income families based on the Local Control Funding Formula that will debut next school year.
Speakers advocated for more academic and social support for African-American students and parents and more support for school health clinics.
Assistant Superintendent Nia Rashidchi said the district's Local Control Accountability Plan includes a program of workshops to aid parents in working with teachers and administrators to help their children succeed in school.

Eagle Rare 10 Year Old Single Barrel Bourbon, 45% abv(90 Proof), $33-38/bottle
This one is a big bruiser of a bourbon opening up with a lot of barrel char, oak, vanilla, caramel, and some moderate spice on the nose. Not a whole lot of finesse here, and really gives you some "pop". It drinks a good bit stronger than it's 45% alcohol or 90 proof might indicate. The first sip (or chew) yields a lot of burned sugar & caramel, along with maple syrup, light mint, dry spice notes, and some resiny grip (tannin) and char. The mouth feel is thick and coats well leading to a long finish of vanilla, oaky dryness, and some light tingle on the tongue. Perhaps a bit "loose" around the edges but I respect it's rough and tumble ways and recommend this bourbon.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 8.4 (Excellent)
