Patterson and St. James have a history of high scoring exciting games, and Friday's non-district matchup should stick to the script.
"Both teams have some good athletes who can make big plays," Patterson head coach Tommy Minton said. "We've had some fireworks over the years."
Patterson (1-1) comes into the game with momentum after beating Central Lafourche, 40-32, last week.
Quarterback Denzel Johnson led the Jacks, throwing for 257 yards and four scores. He was 19-of-26 passing with three touchdown drives in the second half. Johnson also rushed eight times for 74 yards.
"People have to realize that it's Denzel's first year starting, he was a linebacker last year, and he's still picking things up," Minton said recently. "But he's doing the things we are asking him to do, and he's getting better."
Patterson finished with 19 first downs to Central Lafourche's nine.
Shelby Lavergne led the Lumberjacks' rushing attack with 90 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries, while Deondre Skinner was the top receiver with six catches for 86 yards and a touchdown. Daylon Charlot also had five catches for 53 yards and two touchdowns for PHS.
St. James lost to Destrehan last week, 47-8, at home. Destrehan held St. James (0-1) to just 32 yards of total offense.
The Wildcats also lost, 37-0, to Hahnville in the Ed Reed Jamboree.
"They still have good athletes," Minton said. "They just don't have the numbers they had in the past, and we have to take advantage of that. The quarterback and wide receiver are both big play guys, but we are better upfront on both sides of the ball."
The Patterson defense held Central Lafourche to 306 yards (254 rushing and 52 passing) last week after struggling in a week one loss to Crowley.
"We start six sophomores and a freshman on defense," Minton said following the week 2 victory. "The effort is there, we just have to play, learn and improve every week. Those kids didn't play on Friday nights last season."
The longtime coach was satisfied with the improvement.
"We certainly cleaned up some things on both sides of the ball this week," he said after defeating Central Lafourche. "We just have to continue working hard, and hopefully we will be where we want to be at season's end."
Patterson moved up to No. 9 (Class 3A) in the Louisiana Sportswriter's weekly ranking after last week's win.
Kickoff is slated for 7 p.m. in St. James.

Every year I look forward to the Academy Awards. I think I know a thing or two about movies, so you can make your own picks for who I think will win the coveted Oscar. I've gotten better over the years, somehow I thought some of the policy to go Hollywood. Most of the ceremony is not all that memorable, but sometimes given a prize, or sometimes not given, and these are the things that stay with me for years.
He was particularly incensed when Brokeback Mountain was snubbed in the Best Picture Oscar in 2006. I saw all the other categories of film, which included Capote, Good Night, and Good Luck, Munich, and eventual winner Crash.
Say what you want from the movie – I will not pretend that it does not polarize the audience and the critics – but it's not worth Medals almost all the top film festivals in the world, independent and other fees, such as the Golden Globe, Independent Spirit Award and the BAFTA Film Award. I was so angry when he was snubbed for Best Picture Oscar to the Academy I vowed never to watch the Academy Awards. Soon enough, the heat of the moment subsided to see.
In 2001, I was deeply disappointed by some ass. I honestly have nothing against Julia Roberts, or the fine job he did in Erin Brockovich, but when he won the Best Actress Ellen Burstyn during which the hand was beautiful beyond words, such as a deterioration of the suburbs are addicted to diet pills Requiem for a Dream, I knew that something was rotten In Denmark, as they say.
Again, I have seen all five nominated performances in the year, and only two were still worthy of the nomination. I thought Laura Linney in You Can Count on Me is the only actress to have an outside shot to beat Burstyn. Shows ya what I know, right?
But the Academy Awards is not just a collection of disappointment for me. I enjoyed the glory, Halle Berry won the best actress Oscar in 2002, he was very brave and courageous role in Monster's Ball. I thought it was inspired by the Oscar Best Actress went to Marion Cotillard for her role in La Vie en Rose was moving the first person in France, the French-language Academy Award winning performance.
I also thought it was fantastic, when Jeff Bridges finally won an Oscar. He is alone this year for his role as a hard luck country music singer Blake Bath, a box office hit Crazy Heart. Nominated four times in different roles in the previous stage, especially in 1972, The Last Picture Show and again in 1985, the Starman, it was high time Academy Award winner for Best Performance in a legitimate role, and thanks to everyone not just some – of the hard work in a free-lifetime-achievement Oscar. This was the real thing, that I almost feel sorry for the other participants. It was a battle for second place, which is not really the place.

I want to contribute to PardusWiki! What should I do?
There are many ways to contribute. Below, some of the best ideas that you can achieve with a small amount of effort are listed.
Create New Pages
Especially, if internal links in current pages points to an empty page, you can fill them up.
Blue (or violet, if you have visited before) links are current pages. Red (or orange, if you have visited before) links are the pages that do not exist for now. It is preassumed that the person who put the link to that page thought there was information about the topic. This can be a bad idea, of course; and maybe the link should be deleted. It's also possible that there may be a typo or the correct name of the link may not be known by the previous editor. That's why, you can correct this link, and/or create a redirection to the page. If you think there should a page at the redirected site, go ahead and start writing!
While searching for the red links, you can look at the demanded pages list(?) and select one which you think you know about it. (Please take a look at the "Where should I start" part)
Please, read the recommendations about when and how a new page should be written (or not written): My First Contributions.
Where should I start
You can start with generating a list of TO-DO's. Give the priority to the topics you think you know more. Research as much as you can before starting to write a page. At the end, add the information you collected to the pages
Translation tasks
It is needed to translate and update topics in Wiki as they are continuously being added and modified. You are encouraged to translate pages from English to any other languages. Before doing that, please take a look at the page translating pages to other languages
Maintenance tasks
There are many things that must be done although it is not related with changing the contents of a page in a creative way. Sometimes all you have written can be erased by another user. Take it easy, men; that's a part of life :) You can view the previous versions of the page.
Drafts are pages that are started by PardusWiki writers and have not been completed yet. You can help the development of this knowledge source by contributing to complete these pages!
Your suggestions
PardusWiki will grow with your suggestions. You can contribute to current discussions and suggest solutions from Wiki Construction page.
Your contributions are what makes the PardusWiki more usable :)

Ke$ha Dresses 'More Naked Than Usual'
While Ke$ha didn't make headlines for flashing her lady parts in the barely-there dress she wore on May 19 to the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas, the mystery is how she avoided the worst of all possible wardrobe malfunctions. Take a look at the photo gallery below, and you'll see exactly what we mean. The mini-mini-mini black dress featured a plethora of ruffles that reached almost to her chin. No danger there. The threat was in the tiny little skirt that was more like a loin cloth than a skirt, as it was slit all the way up to her waist. To. Her. Waist.

I've seen George twice and he has not done "All my Ex's live in Texas" . I hoping he will play it this time. I hope that he and Alan Jackson play "Murder on music row" together. Its not often that 2 super stars are playing at the same concert. Maybe Jimmy Buffet will make a surprise vist and play with George and Alan.

Editorial: Hill heads to Capitol
Mike Hill is a solid representative of Northwest Florida.
- Jun. 12, 2013
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
Mike Hill is a solid representative of Northwest Florida.
Republican Mike Hill became the first black legislator the region has sent to Tallahassee since Reconstruction.
Pensacola voters overwhelmingly decide to cut the City Council from nine to seven members.
It's Election Day in Gulf Breeze, Pensacola and parts of southern Escambia County.
Two Santa Rosa County Supervisor of Elections safes containing ballots for the House District 2 election were stolen over the weekend, authorities said.
All but three voters have been contacted after safes with ballots inside were taken ahead of todays special state House District 2 election between Republican Mike Hill and Democrat Jeremy Lau.
Escambia Supervisor of Elections David Stafford said he expects voter turnout will end up in the high teens or low 20s.
South Santa Rosa Service Center employee discovered the safes containing two absentee ballots and 33 early-voting ballots for the House District 2 special election were missing.
As election day near, Republican Mike Hill says Democrat Jeremy Lau is lying about Hill's military service in the race to win the State House District 4 seat.
Elections officials in Escambia and Santa Rosa counties are expecting a low turnout for the special election on Tuesday to decide who will serve as the next representative for House District 2 and whether to shrink the Pensacola City Council by two seats.
When it comes to Pensacola City Council, your queen for a day says seven is enough, and other decrees.
The voting locations for two Escambia County precincts in Tuesday's special election have been changed, according to a news release from the Escambia County Supervisor of Elections Office.
Republican Mike Hill and Democrat Jeremy Lau are facing off in the June 11 election to see who will be the next legislator from House District 2.
Mike Hill should represent District 2 in the state House of Representatives.
The June 11 ballot asks voters in the City of Pensacola to weigh a measure that would reduce the City Council from nine members to seven by eliminating the two at-large seats.
It would save money and reduce the rancor that is dividing the council.
Former Gulf Breeze Mayor and Santa Rosa School Board member Ed Gray sent Jeremy Lau a $500 contribution -- the maximum contribution allowable under the law -- shortly after Gray lost the May 14 primary to tea party activist Mike Hill.
We asked candidates in local races to answer questions on a simple questionnaire and to state their qualifications in a short video.

If You Care Certified Compostable Food Waste Bags are made from potato starch from non-GMO starch potatoes, blended with a certified, fully compostable polymer. No plasticizers are added. If You Care Compostable Bags are stronger than bags made from corn starch. The potato starch used to make these bags come from starch potatoes, which are not grown for food but only for starch production. These potatoes are too high in starch to be good for food. Therefore, there is no diversion from food supplies. To produce the same amount of starch from these potatoes as from corn requires 40% less land. These potatoes require no irrigation, and need only normal rainfall. Corn requires much more water. If You Care Compostable Food Waste Bags 3 gallon are for food waste only. They are perfect for kitchen compost pails. Line compost pails with bags to collect food scraps and food waste. Bags along with food scraps can be composted in municipal or commercial compost facilities.

Never underestimate the degree to which women, especially pretty ones, will stab each other in the back. This group of supposed friends who hug each other and seem like a tight knit group, when you say something nice about one of their friends will give you this cruel litany of everything that is wrong with them. Made me feel DAMN uncomfortable, especially since I like to be Switzerland when there's no bacon in it for me.

Nope, all stairs here in the lolcountry.
Shit, a vacancy in early winter is no fun. Good thing you have realtor friends!
Already have a potential person lined up, considering seeing if the chef at lolwork is interested too. He's caught between a serious rock and a hard place and could really use a fucking break. I'd be willing to help him out with this if he can swing it. So, I'm not too worried about it just don't appreciate getting screwed in the meantime. Yay for free legal advice to find out what my rights for possession are.

la la la! So, first question my attorney had was "where the hell did you get this lease?" He's getting me a proper form for the next person and told me not to listen to people that are not lolattorneys for this stuff EVER again. It'll be fine just will suck for a little while until it gets straightened out. I lived here for 5 1/2 years without a tenant, I can certainly do it for a little while if necessary.
yup. i've altered every lease i've been offered.

Customer Reviews for Child Safety Energy Efficient Top Seller Cordless
"Buying more"
By BlindsFan from San Jose
We are happy with our cellular shades purchase that we already ordered some solar screen shades. My husband said they were easy to install and fit just right. No problems when talking with a customer service rep.
View this product"They do the Job"
By Cindy from Washington State
We purchased these shades to keep our living room cool while preserving the view. It has a southwestern exposure and really got hot. These shades keep the room cool and we can still see our view. It's great! I thought I would have to use a valance to cover the roller because I thought it would be unattractive. I was wrong. I am not going to cover them after all. They look very sharp.

The following is an excerpt from the Opening the Door to Green Building Study, a research study analyzing market perceptions related to green building. Participants included representation from the building market (product companies, consultants, owners, developers, etc.)
The above word cloud was generated using the open-ended answers to the question, "What does green mean to you?" The responses were varied in terms of support for the word "green" versus concern for the how vague the term has become in not just the building market. The marketing and communications strategies within the green building market range from variants of efficiency concepts to environmental and social stewardship to the many permeations of the word "green".
Because of the variety of vocabulary, it is critical to understand the perception or connotation around certain words in the market place. But knowing what motivates a buy is not enough: knowing how to communicate in a manner that will motivate that buy is critical, and language is important. According to the Building Owner and Real Estate Developer/Tenant Leasing/Finance categories "Energy Efficient" is the most effective term to communicate the green-building value proposition for buyers with 100% of owners and 79% of real estate professionals ranking it from Impactful to Highly Impactful.
A second question focused on how these same terms resonate within the market produced slightly higher results for each of the words. One respondent replied "Green and Sustainable certainly "resonate" with the market, but it is less clear what they are actually representing for many in the building market beyond marketing." It would seem that the challenge for buyers is to wade through the marketing vocabulary to identify what is going to be most beneficial for their project. It becomes incumbent on service providers and product firms to resist some of the easy "green" branding/ messaging opportunities and focus on the genuine benefit in communicating to the buyer.

Breaking news...
The contract mostly maintains the status quo to allow us to complete the year in an orderly fashion even if the current budget repair bill passes. Hopefully it will give us enough time to deal with the implications of the yet to be released state budget and make layoff and staffing decisions with enough knowledge to minimize disruption. The same is true of senior teachers with the option to retire. It also minimizes risk: in the absence of a contract we would be governed only by the complex state statutes if the "budget repair bill" becomes law, and there is a risk that any disputes would end up in litigation without this settlement.
The agreed upon contract provides for 0% salary increase in the first year (2009-10) and 1% in the current year. This is significantly less than inflation and saves the district money relative to what had been budgeted. Given that the MGEA would retain the right to negotiate salaries up to the rate of inflation under the "budget repair bill' this is probably a deal for the district. A teacher who started in the district this year with a bachelors will receive $31,695 in salary (including the new teacher stipend), a teacher with a master's and 16 years experience will receive $51,717.
The contract makes no movement on our OPEB ("Other Post Employment Benefits") liability, but because it only extends through June and it was unlikely we would have made changes to the retirements retroactive this won't impact the bottom line.
The long sticking point over the negotiations to this point has been the OPEB liability. The MG district has OPEB benefits that are much higher than our peer districts. The major cost was due to generous retirement health care benefits which were first negotiated decades ago at a time when health care was cheap. The rapid growth of health care costs had not been anticipated. The other part of the OPEB benefits is the TEP - a payout equal to the one year's salary. The TEP was originally implemented to reduce district costs by encouraging higher paid senior teachers to retire, however the high costs of health benefits in retirement now makes this less of a deal for the district.
It is past time to adjust these OPEB benefits to be more in line with other districts': The board's proposals did reduce the OPEB benefits considerably, by $200K or more per teacher - and as such were understandably difficult for the MGEA to swallow. Although we hadn't reached an agreement (and were in the process of arbitration) I feel we had made significant progress and both sides were finally at least reading from the same page. These issues will have to be resolved by the board or in negotiations (depending on what happens with state law) during the next biennium.
I do feel that this agreement has been reached at the point of a gun, and that is not an environment conducive to developing the cooperative relationships we need to move forward. But I do want to thank Superintendent Gerlach and the MGEA negotiations team for the difficult work necessary to move this forward in the last few days.

It is BS that you gave them a raise. WRONG.
- February 28, 2011 at 10:18 AM
Teachers are not the enemy - corporate america (who created this recession) is now making RECORD profits (and receiving RECORD taxpayer bailout) utilizing workers educated by american teachers - and you begrudge them what is actually a salary CUT after inflation?
- February 28, 2011 at 10:31 AM
"It is BS that you gave them a raise. WRONG."
oooh my gosh a 1% raise. - February 28, 2011 at 11:33 AM
I'm with 10:18 AM anonymous. I work in the private sector, we've taken pay CUTS - why do teachers get a free pass to keep up with inflation? All the taxpayers like me who have taken pay cuts can't afford the tax increases that are required to keep paying increases to teachers!!
All the union bosses are full of hot air - any MG teacher who protested at the Capitol and is talking about how they are willing to make the financial sacrifices that Walker is asking for have just been proven as liars. - February 28, 2011 at 11:52 AM
Ok - in exchange for cuts for teachers now would you commit to raises for teachers equal to yours whenever you get them? Its only fair, and teachers would JUMP at the chance to keep up with private sector salaries over the long term.
So would you? - February 28, 2011 at 1:46 PM
If we want to make public sector jobs exactly like private sector, we'll have to increase the total of pay and benefits by about 4%, before we let it follow market forces. That's about how much less they make, even with their 1% raise.
If we switch their portion of benefits to what's common in the private sector, we'll have to increase their pay by about 20% to make it comparable. - February 28, 2011 at 1:47 PM
We ain't seen nothin' yet folks. Wait until the budget comes out.
- February 28, 2011 at 2:38 PM
seriously, the amounts of cuts to the education budget as well as medicaid. It will be awful.
- February 28, 2011 at 3:23 PM
" I work in the private sector, we've taken pay CUTS"
You need a union, because I bet the owners didn't take a pay cut - February 28, 2011 at 5:13 PM
"It is BS that you gave them a raise. WRONG."
I have two responses to this:
1) Tell it to the governor who is pushing a political bill without regard or consideration for the havoc it would cause all across the state. Its this that created the need for this settlement.
2) If, after reviewing WI statutes 111 and 118 governing employment relations and general school operations, the district budget and operations, and consulting with legal counsel experienced in Wi public employee relations, you can find a way likely to result in a better deal for the district - please let me know. I'd be happy to consider it. - February 28, 2011 at 8:50 PM
WAKE UP! This bickering between middle class private sector and public sector workers is exactly what these corporate SOBs want. We are playing into their hands. This country is going in a wrong-headed and dangerous direction. Cut schools, cut access to health care and while giving tax breaks and person-hood to corporations and the wall street cronies get huge bonuses.
- February 28, 2011 at 11:11 PM
Well...1% is a lot better than the -3.2% that I got. How is this justified?
- February 28, 2011 at 11:15 PM
A 1% raise is NOT a pay raise, it is a pay cut. I know economics is not a strong suit of the right wing in WI, which is why its so important to have good teachers!
- February 28, 2011 at 11:15 PM
"Well...1% is a lot better than the -3.2% that I got. How is this justified?"
In exchange for cuts now, would you commit to raises for teachers equal to any raise you get in the future, even if it means a referendum? - February 28, 2011 at 11:22 PM
I urge the parents and community members to wake up, the new budget is a bomb and time is ticking.
For those with kids, the schools are going to need to become privatized. That means you will be paying tuition for your child to be enrolled.
For those without kids, along with those with kids, your property values relative to community schools and value are going to plummet.
For those with business, the public sector union employees will have very little if any discretionary money to spend. Those with kids are going to be paying tuition to the tune of thousands a year.
Look at the BIG PICTURE and get invovled for the community you would like to see.
Also, a 1% raise over two years is hardly a raise with the cost of living. Have you purchased a gallon of gas or a milk lately? - March 1, 2011 at 12:34 AM
to all of you (or maybe it's just one of you) who keep saying that a 1% raise is really a pay cut. Get a GRIP. So, by your math, my 5.2% pay cut over the last three years is wholly devastating. Again, get a grip. You make changes to live within your means. There are a lot of public workers afraid of having to live within their means, but the time has come.............
- March 1, 2011 at 9:27 AM
Dear 9:27 poster,
That's all well and fine. But when the economy starts roaring again under the Republican plans you apparently have been suckered into supporting, and you receive the huge increases in pay and benefits you apparently believe you will get (because why else would you support tax breaks for wealthy corporations who are going to create all these groovy jobs), will you then support raises and benefits for public workers? Because we should all rise and sink together, right? - March 1, 2011 at 9:45 AM
"There are a lot of public workers afraid of having to live within their means, but the time has come............."
Do you actually know any teachers? The ones I know live in fairly modest houses, drive cars that most folks do (one of the chief negotiators for the MG teacher's union drives a car so old it's amazing it's allowed on the road), and take vacations to a family cabin up north, or head to the Dells for a few days. They aren't getting rich; they're not poor, but they pretty much define what it means to be middle-class these days.
Yes, there is more job security in the public sector. Wages tend to be more stable. Health and retirement benefits are solid and secure.
But public workers often accept -- and yes, bargain for -- those conditions in return for the things you can't offer in the public sector. There is no discounted stock options in the public sector, as you find in many private (and forward-thinking) companies; no year-end bonuses in good years or for exceptional performance; no profit-sharing when the company does exceptionally well; less opportunity for advancement up the corporate ladder for higher wages and benefits; fewer opportunities to jump ship and join a company willing to pay better and offer more; fewer (generally) golden parachutes (MG actually being an exception with its TEP payout).
Those in the public sector know this, of course, and willingly trade in on it in exchange for a different kind of economic benefit, one often rooted in security and not really money. And you can argue all you want about the implosion of the private sector in the last few years, but private-sector workers had it pretty good for roughly 20 years prior to the onset of the current recession two years ago.
There is a lot to quibble with about the current state of unions, and in particular teacher's unions, and especially with the MGEA (whose leadership -- not the rank-and-file, but leadership -- has been absolutely myopic about how this all came about). But to suggest teachers in the main are greedy, or somehow ungrateful to those of us who pay for their salaries and benefits, or don't live within their means, is simply uninformed opinion. - March 1, 2011 at 10:07 AM
"But to suggest teachers in the main are greedy, or somehow ungrateful to those of us who pay for their salaries and benefits, or don't live within their means, is simply uninformed opinion."
No, it is an opinion of a very angry person. - March 1, 2011 at 11:01 AM
re:"Well...1% is a lot better than the -3.2% that I got. How is this justified?"
It wouldn't be justified if you are a teacher, but since it sounds like you work in another industry, what happened to you isn't related to what teachers got.
Do you have to go back to school every year to keep your job, and pay for it out of your own pocket?
Do you have to buy office supplies for 20 coworkers?
Did you spend the late 90's getting 1-2% raises?
There are good things and bad things with every job. When times are tough, the raises that teachers get seem a lot better then other jobs. But it's part of the deal (which is very long-term and logical), that also pays significantly less at other times, and makes the teachers pay for a lot of things out of their own pocket.
If you want teacher pay to mirror private sector pay, start the campaign when you get a 5% raise. then the justified thing would be to give the teachers 5% too. - March 1, 2011 at 11:08 AM
Remember when teachers repackaged those worthless derivatives, crashed the economy and took TARP funds... me neither
- March 1, 2011 at 12:53 PM
"There is a lot to quibble with about the current state of unions, and in particular teacher's unions, and especially with the MGEA (whose leadership -- not the rank-and-file, but leadership -- has been absolutely myopic about how this all came about). "
ahh, but here's the rub. I 100% oppose our delusional Governor, BUT, the rank and file elect the leadership so they are not off the hook. that is why so many in this community are struggling with conflicting feelings about this situation. - March 1, 2011 at 1:39 PM
"So, by your math, my 5.2% pay cut over the last three years is wholly devastating."
For you probably - but if I took a paycut - I wouldn't wish it on you. "Do unto others" after all. But perhaps your not a christian. - March 1, 2011 at 2:19 PM

"ahh, but here's the rub. I 100% oppose our delusional Governor, BUT, the rank and file elect the leadership so they are not off the hook. that is why so many in this community are struggling with conflicting feelings about this situation."
Yes -- not writing letters of recommendation and other juvenile exercises of "working the contract" will no doubt cause long-term damage to the district, because those tactics will be viewed (and remembered) harshly by voters who will inevitably and shortly now be asked to shore up the district's finances in light of the budget cuts announced today.
What's frustrating about this union is that its members are not greedy, do hard work every day, trade higher potential wages in return for working diligently with our kids, help foster a sense of community and geniune learning that isn't universal (but is all too often criticized by folks in the district who have never been anywhere else), and often go overboard to meet the many unseen but very real and challenging needs of kids.
Yet it's the stupid things they do -- spitefully not helping with after-school clubs, not lifting pen to paper for seniors, not having any proportionate sense of the struggles facing the folks who pay taxes here (well, that's mostly the MGEA leadership) -- that people will unfortunately remember. - March 1, 2011 at 5:32 PM

Yale Center for British Art shows off 'Antiquaries in Britain' (slideshow)
NEW HAVEN — The libraries, museums and galleries of England owe a debt of gratitude to the Society of Antiquaries of London, the oldest repository for ancient manuscripts, paintings, drawings and rare books that chronicle the history of England.
"Making History: Antiquaries in Britain" is an expansive and fascinating collection of some of those antiquities — 100 from the Society, augmented by about 50 items from Yale Center for British Art and other Yale collections, on exhibit through May 27 at the YCBA.
It's a veritable walk through British history depicted through works of art, furniture, geological and historical maps, coins, arms, even a copy of the Magna Carta from 1225, from the organization founded in 1707 to preserve the artifacts which reveal not only the culture of the times, but also how inventions, technology and art inform what we know about England.
It's the first North American tour for these Society works, which blend seamlessly with the additions from Yale's collections, such as the woodcut and letterpress detail of "The Pardoner's Tale" from Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales."
Due to the steadfast dedication of the Society's members, who number more than 2,900 "fellows" around the world, artifacts are still being discovered on archaeological sites, in book collections hiding rare volumes on dusty shelves and are proudly turned over to the Society to further enhance its erudition.
It's a learning experience that keeps on giving. Archaeologist and the Society's General Secretary John Lewis, who had accompanied a press tour at the exhibit, pointed to a presumed bronze war shield with several holes in it, dated circa 1300-1100 B.C., noting that further study replaces myth with fact.
"It's so finely made that it's very unlikely it actually was in war, though the piercings made it seem so. It's an interesting example of how things are constantly being rethought, ..." he said.
The exhibit is divided into sections, starting with The Discovery of Britain with books, prints and objects, some of which clearly are conjured more from fantasy than reality: watercolor portraits of warriors and maps more an educated guess than science.
Earliest Antiquaries includes many oil-on-panel works by unknown artists, engravings and the Society's 18th-century mahogany Ballot Box, still used by it for secret votes.
Collecting for Britain is called "the heart of the exhibition." A series of oils on panel depict a procession of Tudor royalty and play a part, Maurice Howard, president of the Society of Antiquaries, said, in "settling the past and making images of the present." Continued...
Portraits of kings such as Edward I, Henry VI, VII and VIII, Richard II hang on the walls around cases with coinage, the Magna Carta quill-and-ink parchment, the Limoges enamel casket of St. Thomas Becket, a medieval processional cross from the battlefield of 1485 Bosworth, and the remarkable roll chronicle — a 40-foot-long parchment displayed in its entirety for the first time in a specially made floor case.
Howard called the scroll, which depicts the lineage of Henry VI from Adam and Eve, "the greatest example of its kind ever produced."
Lost and Found is a fascinating section in which we see how the Industrial Revolution, the growth of agriculture and transportation gave access to previously untapped areas where archaeologists unearthed weaponry and items from many epochs. They are represented both in actual items, while others are captured in paintings such as Thomas Underwood's watercolor drawing of the Ribchester helmet.
The Art of Recording is rich in a variety of materials and relatable subjects. Focusing on the 18th and early 19th century, it explores the use of drawings and paintings by such luminaries as J.M.W. Turner, William Blake and Thomas Girtin to capture historic buildings, monuments and objects in a pre-photography age.
And what bigger giant of historic monuments is there than Stonehenge?
"The Society was at its best in the recording of discoveries of the sites most associated with Stonehenge," according to Lewis, and there are several examples: from Philip Henry Sharpe's 1906 aerial photo to Rev. Thomas Rackett's yearlong watercolor study. Various depictions clearly show that the stones have indeed moved or been moved over the centuries.
"The Society was in the forefront of most of the investigations. The telling of Stonehenge through the visual recordings is fascinating," Lewis said.
One wishes that more of the lush paintings of the ancient monument shown in the catalog were in the exhibit, but it seems nitpicking to complain when this exhibit offers so much in such a well-thought-out and carefully defined show.
The history lesson wraps through the final two sections. Publishing the Past chronicles the Society's function as both historian and artist, its engravers stepping in to record historical treasures uncovered in 1834 when the Palace of Westminister burned. Continued...
Finally, The Rediscovery of the Middle Ages contains a number of works by William Morris and "his circle" purported to capture an idealized version of the medieval world, both in his detailed woodcuts and his painstakingly woven tapestries, the latter represented here by "Acanthus and Vine," which Howard says took 512 hours to complete.
The YCBA exhibit was curated by Society Fellows Elisabeth Fairman, senior curator of rare books and manuscripts, Yale Center for British Art, and Nancy Netzer, professor of art history and director of the McMullen Museum of Art, Boston College, in association with Heather Rowland, head of library and collections, and Julia Dudkiewicz, collections manager, Society of Antiquaries of London.

Environmental Science and Engineering, D. Env.
UCLA's innovative professional doctorate program in Environmental Science and Engineering Program (ESE) provides practical education for tomorrow's environmental problem solvers.
Today's environmental professionals need scientific, engineering, and policy skills to translate our collective resolve and resources into effective environmental action. Such environmental professionals are at the cutting edge. This Program focuses on the critical environmental questions of the day: problems that transcend state and national borders, yet also have local relevance.
Both the research and instruction recognize the interconnections between soil, air, water and biota, as well as the interdependence of human and ecological health. Equally important, the Program emphasizes the interactions and interdependencies between science, engineering, public policy, economics and law in the protection of the environment and public health.
As of Fall 2012, the program is administered by the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and offered in collaboration with twelve academic departments in the College of Letters and Science and the Schools of Engineering, Management, Public Health, Public Policy and Law.
Academic Program
Research and training activities are both experimental and analytical in nature, often involving laboratory or field studies but also modeling and policy analysis. First year ESE students take a series of core and breadth courses in different academic departments which participate in the program. In their second year, ESE students work on an applied, interdisciplinary research project (a "Problems Course") with a Program faculty member.
Because the D.Env. is more multidisciplinary than a traditional Ph.D. degree, the Program substitutes a doctoral internship experience in a governmental agency, a national laboratory or the private sector for the traditional extended research training period on campus. D.Env. candidates must nonetheless complete a scholarly research project during their internship that results in a dissertation approved by their UCLA doctoral committee.
See images and video from the Oct. 27th celebration and Environmental Science and Engineering Program archive here.
"The value of the ESE program is best exemplified by the success of its graduates and the leadership positions many now hold in the U.S. and around the world."
-Steve Kahane, ESE alumni, President and CEO, International Coatings

Toyota cars are known for reliability and high quality. Toyota car prices start between $13,365 and $66,780 for a Land Cruiser. Toyota models range from the two-door Yaris compact coupe to sport-utility vehicles like the FJ Cruiser and 4Runner.
Toyota was founded in 1937 by Kiichiro Toyoda and its headquarters are located in Toyota City, Japan. Toyota was created as a spinoff from Toyota Industries to create automobiles. Toyota was solely a Japanese operation, until the early 1980s when they began building US based plants.
The Toyota Motor Group now owns the brands Lexus and Scion as well as Daihatsu and Hino Motors. In 1997 Toyota introduced the Prius, the world's best-selling hybrid car. New Toyota models that have seen success include the Corolla and Yaris, due to the recent rises in gas prices. With a focus on value and technology, Toyota prices have remained competitive and affordable.
