Rhododendron alutaceum var. iodes — 3', -10oF, E-M,
3/4-5. The name means rust-colored and that exactly describes the
undersides of these lance-shaped leaves which are thickly coated with
soft, downy indumentum. Like most of the Subsection Taliensia plants, the
flowers are white with a tinge of pink and darker spotting and are carried
in trusses of 8-12. You'll not see this beauty offered very often. 15-21"

indumentum, typically brown to dark rusty brown, is looser.
20012 Rhododendron
arboreum var. cinnamomeum Campbelliae Group — This variety
has the most interesting foliage of the group, long and narrow, very
similar in appearance to R. makinoi. This form slso seems to be
hardier than many of the other forms. An attractive plant worthy of the
effort to grow it. Rose pink flowers. 48-60"
20385 Rhododendron
arboreum var. cinnamomeum — The plant we are selling is the
plant with very narrow leaves once known as R. campbelliae or

20015 Rhododendron atlanticum
— (PE, pe, Pentathera) 3-4', -15oF, M, 3/3. Native to the eastern
United States with white flowers, often flushed a lovely soft pink and very
fragrant! This stoloniferous shrub sometimes sends shoots underground to
form a new plant. Growing in a mounding form with flowers that sparkle pink
and white, this is certainly one of the more charming native azaleas. A
delicate, airy beauty. 10-15", 15-21"
20025 Rhododendron
atlanticum Choptank River form — 3', -20oF, M, 3/3. This
form has the same terrific blue-toned foliage as the species. Fall color
is a mix of yellows and reds in full sun. What sets this one apart from
the species is the flower color. Deeper pinks in bud and when flowers
open. A lovely plant, believed to be a natural hybrid between R.

— (Subgenus Hymenthes, Subsect. Barbata) 4-5', 5oF, VE-E,
4-5/3. This beauty blooms bright scarlet. Its flowers sit atop medium sized
elliptic lanceolate leaves that have interesting bullate texture. The added
bonus of smooth, reddish plum colored bark, which develops as the plant
ages, is one more reason to appreciate this lovely plant. 15-21"
20177 Rhododendron
bathyphyllum — (HY, hy, Taliensia) 2', -5oF, E-EM, 3/5. Its
smooth, dark green foliage is covered with rusty brown indumentum. The

20073 Rhododendron bureavii
— (HY, hy, Taliensia) 4', -10oF, M, 3/5. Few plants have better
indumentum than this fabulous species. As the new growth appears, it is
completely covered on both surfaces with white wool that gradually washes
off the top surface to expose a glossy leaf. The new white indumentum on the
underside of the leaf changes to deep cinnamon brown as it ages. Charming
white flowers are often dotted with maroon red. 10-15", 30-36"
20348 Rhododendron bureavii
Lem's form — Creamy white flowers with crimson markings rest above a sea
of dark green foliage. As is typical of R. bureavii, the foliage is

collection. This exceptional plant flowers heavily. This is pink budded
and white flowered. 10-15"
20320 Rhododendron ssp.
yakushimanum 'Mist Maiden' — One of the larger forms, selected as
being outstanding by the well known rhododendron authority David Leach.
The large flowers are apple blossom pink and turn snowy white. Luscious
foliage is covered on the underside with woolly golden honey brown indumentum. When the new growth occurs after the flowers fall, it is
covered with soft white wool which gradually washes off of the upper
side of the leaves as it turns golden brown on the lower leaf surface.
6-10", 10-15"
20194 Rhododendron ssp.
yakushimanum Phetteplace tall form — Probably the tallest form.
Dr. Phetteplace's original plant, though old is about 6' high. Flowers
are large though typical color and shape of yakushimanum. 30-36"
20197 Rhododendron ssp.
yakushimanum 'Yaku Angel' — 'Yaku Angel' has longer, narrower
convex leaves than most 'yaks'. It buds younger and heavier, and grows
easier. In fact, even tiny plants will be covered with buds. When not in
flower, it is the most attractive plant in the garden. While it is pink
in bud, it opens to the whitest flower of all rhododendrons. This is a
must for your 'yak' collection, or, if you have room for only one, this
is THE ONE! 6-10", 10-15", 15-21"
20052 Rhododendron edgeworthii
— (RN, rn, Edgeworthia) 4', 15oF, E-EM, 4/4. Growth habit is open

attractive. The leaves twist slightly and are a rusty green that give the
plant a desirable appearance. In flower the trusses are a dusty rose pink.
Will stand some sun. Worth the space in your garden. 6-10"
20103 Rhododendron
fletcheranum — (RN, rn, Maddenia) 30", 5oF, E-M, 4/4. While
this variety is a member of the Maddenii series, it is not tender like most.
It may even deserve a hardier rating than 5o F. Under snow it
survived the -12o F. experienced here in 1972. The foliage is
bristly and hairy as are the branches. The leaves are 1" to 2" long and 1"
across, turning deep attractive bronze in winter. The flowers are showy

This plant differs from the species in its dome shaped habit, often with
larger leaves and flowers. This variety has light tomentum on the upper
surface of the leaves which are dark shiny green, rounded, and slightly
puffy and wrinkled on top, with purplish undersides. Tubular, bell shaped,
fleshy flowers are bright scarlet or crimson, and are borne singly or in
pairs. 10-15"
Rhododendron fortunei
— (HY, hy, Fortunea) Here is hardiness and beauty all in one plant. Growth
habit is open, upright and treelike. Large leaves, large fragrant flowers
and exceptional hardiness help make R. fortunei one of the most
distinguished flowering evergreen shrub that can be grown in the
northeastern United States. Quoting from David Leach's Rhododendrons of
the World, "Unquestionably this is among the finest few of rhododendron
20312 Rhododendron fortunei
ssp. fortunei — 6', -15oF, M, 4/4. The deliciously
fragrant flowers are often more than 4" in diameter and are a blush pink,
fading to white. The enormous, scented blossoms, exquisitely modeled, form a

free from pests and attractive in foliage and habit. 6-10", 10-15", 15-21",
21-30", 48-60", 72-84"
20513 Rhododendron fortunei
ssp. fortunei 'Emma & May' — Flowers are a frosty pink and
fragrant! It buds as a young plant and has extraordinary foliage: new
growth is coppery blue, which matures to leaves which have a distinct blue
tinged sheen. It is a compact grower. Its name honors Emma Smith DeVoe and
May Arkwright Hutton, who helped Washington state women get the vote in
1910.Prior to the vote, male politicians tried to placate the women by
allowing them to choose the state flower. They chose the rhododendron, but
also chose to pursue voting rights for women. The Washington Women's
Consortium approached Briggs Nursery to use 'Emma and May' as an
appropriate symbol for the upcoming 100th anniversary of women's suffrage
in 2010. 6-10"
20442 Rhododendron ssp.
fortunei Green form — Flowers have a hint of chartreuse shading in the
throat. 10-15", 15-21"

rhododendrons, this species has a tight compact habit with attractive
silver-gray foliage. Bright blue-purple flowers make a nice contrast. David
G. Leach, in Rhododendrons of the World, suggests an excellent use for it:
"This is an ideal species for the rock garden, in the forefront of a shrub
border or as an edging for beds. Planted about 15" apart, a number of plants
will grow together to form an impenetrable ground cover, handsome at all
seasons and especially effective when such an expanse becomes a blanket of
blue flowers." One of the best plants possible for bonsai. 6-10"
20506 Rhododendron impeditum
Litangense Group — 6", -15oF, EM, 3/4. These plants are much
tighter and more upright growing than the plants that are grown under the

Chris Rock Weighs in on Being a Working Father
Chris Rock's "I'm not talking 'bout rich, I'm talking 'bout wealth" bit is legendary in my circle. We're constantly looking for opportunities to quote pieces of it in casual conversation. Thanks to a recent interview with Terry Gross on NPR's Fresh Air, I've got a few more Rock quotes to throw into the rotation.
Chris Rock on Being a Working Father:
"I'm fortunate. I grew up, two parents, my dad was really into it, so just by osmosis, I'm just really into it. I never really looked at it as a chore or whatever. When I hear people talk about juggling, or the sacrifices they make for their children, I look at them like they're crazy, because 'sacrifice' infers that there was something better to do than being with your children. And I've never been with my kids and gone, 'Man, I wish I was on my stage right now.' I've never been with my kids and gone, 'Man, it'd be so great if I was on a movie set right now.' But I've been doing a movie and wished that I was with my kids, I've been on tour and wished that I was with my kids. Being with my kids is the best, most fun thing, it's a privilege. It's not something I call a sacrifice."
Chris' stand-up has always been a source of personal inspiration. In addition to being wildly entertaining, he's relentless in his education of his audience. When I get up from watching one of his shows, I leave not only with a few new jokes to butcher with my friends, but a profound life lesson or three, usually centered around the simple goal of being a better man, and now, a better dad.

Burn the ships!
Some time ago, I had a heated argument with a colleague of mine on how to treat our students. His considerable experience as a pedagogue had taught him that students fail classes less often if the professor keeps them on a short leash. I could see the benefits of enforcing attendance polices and setting deadlines for various steps in writing projects. It is not a big secret that most young adults do not have enough self-control and are even more prone to procrastination than their parents. If we had this conversation in a high school I would have agreed with my colleague's position.
But I argued that my goal as a college professor extends beyond helping my students to pass my courses. One of the functions of university education, in my view, is to prepare the intellectual elite of the nation for the challenges of real life. That is the main reason why I avoid giving prepackaged, easily gradable, multiple-choice questions and insist on doing things from scratch, even though it takes so much more of my time without additional compensation. I also like to give my students the long rope, fully aware that some of them will give up on their long-term goals for immediate gratification and hang themselves by the end of the semester. Such public (self)executions teach those who fail my courses and their peers lessons far more valuable than the ones in any of the textbooks I use.
There are those benevolent politicos whose hearts bleed every time one of their fellow Americans makes a bad choice and gets hurt. They have dedicated their careers to creating rules that take away our opportunities to make decisions that may endanger our well-being. I have commented in a previous column how such heroic motherly efforts turn our democracy into idiocracy as a consequence of the idea that governments should treat the people the way parents treat their young children (or, in some cases, the way generals treat their soldiers). Shouldn't it be the other way round, considering that most of our individual mistakes have very limited impact on the general welfare, while a single policy faux pas can ruin the entire nation?
"Burn the ships," yelled Cortez when he arrived on the shores of the Yucatan Peninsula five centuries ago. Leaving his men no escape, he raised their commitment to a whole new level. Thus a handful of Spanish adventurers conquered the mighty Aztec empire and changed the course of history. Can you imagine how far we could go if the sovereign people of this republic would burn their government's credit cards with a constitutional amendment that takes away the ability of Congress to tax their future in peacetime?

While the federal HIPAA law requires hospitals to closely protect the privacy of patients, the same law allows hospitals to use certain information from health records in their fundraising campaigns — a practice some patients find objectionable.
When Steve Finn got a call on his unlisted telephone number from the University of Washington Medical Center seeking a donation, he was perplexed.
How on earth did the caller get his name and number?
Finn, a 62-year-old retired CPA who lives on Queen Anne Hill, a one-time patient at the UW, knew that a broad federal law known as HIPAA protects patient privacy. So he was astounded when the caller told him the information had come from patient records.

It seemed logical to Finn that the law, which bars patient information from being used for commercial purposes, would also bar its use for fundraising. He also wanted to know: What did the caller know about him? Was the caller a "qualified health professional" entitled to his information under the law?
And how could he get off the list?
In fact, HIPAA specifically allows medical centers to use patient information for fundraising activities, explained Richard Meeks, director of the UW's privacy program.
Information about diagnosis or treatment is off-limits, but federal and state laws allow hospitals, in most cases, to use a patient's name, address, contact information, dates of hospital service, gender, age and insurance status in fundraising efforts.
Despite being legal, the practice, widely used by other nonprofit hospitals here and across the country, has raised eyebrows before.
In part, that's because people mistakenly lump health-care fundraising with those annoying commercial telemarketing calls that interrupt dinner, says William McGinly, president and CEO of the Association of Healthcare Philanthropy.
"It is a common misunderstanding," he said. "Fundraising is a part of health-care operations."
The UW's fundraising drive, which began in April and ended early this month, ultimately raised nearly $28,000, said Tina Mankowski, UW spokeswoman.
The money will help fund uncompensated care at Harborview Medical Center, she said, and pay for equipment, services and supplies at the UW Medical Center and UW Medicine's neighborhood clinics. That might mean sleeper chairs for family members visiting patients, for instance, or books on living with cancer.
"Fundraising is an important part of health care," Mankowski said. "We are not selling any goods or services — we are a nonprofit raising funds."
The callers were primarily students under contract to the UW and trained in HIPAA privacy rules, Meeks said.
Although the campaigns have been conducted for several years, Mankowski said, no complaints have been received before now. This year, about 150 former patients of the nearly 6,000 who were solicited opted out of having their names on the fundraising list, she said.
Finn, too, tried to opt out. But he found it wasn't as easy as he thought it should be.
The script used by the student solicitors included information about a toll-free telephone number to call. But when he did, the telephone voice-mail box said it was full. The next day, he got the same message.
He finally got through, left his name and number, but didn't get a call back. In frustration, on the third day, he called the UW's privacy office to complain.
As it turns out, when Finn first went to the hospital, he was almost certainly given a 16-page tome entitled "Joint Notice of Privacy practices of UW Medicine and Certain Other Providers."
The notice explains how a patient's data may be used, and notes that phone solicitors don't have access to "diagnosis or treatment information" and must agree to keep the information they do see confidential.
It also explains how patients can opt out of having their information used for fundraising.
Finn's visit to the hospital's emergency room after an accident was rushed. "Like I was reading the fine print!" at the time, he said.
If he had read the notice, he might have realized opting out isn't as simple as checking a box. Like most hospitals, the UW doesn't allow for an instant "no." Patients must write a letter to the privacy office.
Finn said he was disturbed because HIPAA bars using patient information for commercial purposes.
"Excuse me, but raising millions of dollars to support UW — a commercial enterprise hiding behind a not-for-profit mask — certainly sounds like a bending of the rules to suit a purpose," he said. "You just feel as though your privacy is being violated. … Just because HIPAA might allow UW to do this does not make it right."
McGinly, of the philanthropy association, said health-care fundraising is not a commercial use of patient information. The list of prospective donors is used only by hospitals — almost all nonprofit — to raise money for themselves, and is never traded or sold.
"If [a business] is selling medical devices, they cannot come in and buy this list."
When HIPAA first began, some medical centers allowed patients to easily opt out at check-in, McGinly said, and 20 to 30 percent did so. As a result, hospitals never got a chance to make their pitch, he said.
If a health-care fundraiser gets a chance to explain how donations would benefit its programs, "an awful lot of people will say 'Yes, I'd like to know more about that,' " he said, and many will give.

Can business activity in itself be morally good and pleasing to God? Sometimes business can seem so shady-manipulating the 'bottom line,' deceiving the consumer, or gaining promotions because of whom you know.
But Wayne Grudem introduces a novel concept: business itself glorifies God when it is conducted in a way that imitates God's character and creation. He shows that all aspects of business, including ownership, profit, money, competition, and borrowing and lending, glorify God because they are reflective of God's nature. Though Grudem isn't naïve about the easy ways these activities can be perverted and used as a means to sin, he knows that Christians can be about the business of business.
This biblically based book is a thoughtful guide to imitating God during interactions with customers, coworkers, employees, and other businesses. See how your business, and your life in business, can be dedicated to God's glory.

Dr. Wallach discusses a recent news story concerning prescription heart burn drugs. A new study has found a link between drugs such as Nexium, Prevacid and Prilosec and an increased risk of hip fractures. Researchers speculate that with reduced stomach acid people don't absorb as much calcium so their bones are weaker.

Tsk, Tsk! Kendall Jenner Caught Texting While Driving
August 17, 2012 06:00 AM by Shayla Perry
Here's some Kardashian behavior you won't want to keep up with. A driver tells Star Magazine that 16-year-old Kendall Jenner almost caused them to get into an accident because she was texting while driving with a car full of friends. What happened?
It sounds like Bruce and Kris Jenner need to have a little talk with their daughter, Kendall, about being a responsible driver.
A source tells Star Magazine that the 16-year-old model and Keeping Up With The Kardashians (E!) star nearly caused an accident with her reckless driving.
"The car was all over the lane. I thought the driver was intoxicated!" the commuter reports of the incident. "When I pulled up alongside her car, I realized it was Kendall Jenner. She was texting and driving!"
By their account, Jenner just barely avoided hitting them with her black Range Rover.
"I was trying to get off the freeway and I couldn't merge into the right lane because [Kendall] wasn't paying attention and her car would have drifted into mine," the driver tells the magazine. "When she realized we were taking pictures of her, she gave me a dirty look but continued texting, laughing with her friends in the car."
So not cool.
Though there's really no evidence that the incident actually took place, if it did, do you think Kendall Jenner has a responsibility to the public to speak out against texting and driving and apologize for her recklessness? Do you think she'll get unfairly treated for doing something that millions of teens do every day, just because she's in the spotlight? Should she? Sound off in the Comments section below. We want to hear from you!

Well, After taking some time to reflect on this situation… It could really go eiether way. The woman who "accused" Kendall of texting while driving could just be saying that to make money. I really don't think selling this story to magazines is what this women really should have done if this story was true! She could have caleld the police and let them handel the situation. I really don't think seeing this all over the internet is going to help the situation at all. Also, if this IS true then she should apologize to whoever spoke out about this. She doesnt need to make a public announceiment! this is a bit much. Making this story public is NOT necessary, Its actually kind of stupid!

i think from what i read more than one person complained about this..i dont doubt it one bit, these people because they are rich thank they can do anything they want…If she had responsible parents they should take the phone and vehicle both away from her until she is responsible enough to have them.. and then not let her have a phone when driving for a long time..She could have killed someone, if she dosent care about herself then that is one thing but other people should not have to die because of a stupid little thoughtless bimbo

Take the Exam
Before taking the exam you will need:
- To be an enrolled or admitted WSU Tri-Cities student
- Pencil and paper
- Your WSU Network ID and password
- Approximately two hours to complete the exam (this time will vary for each student)
Please follow these general instructions for taking the exam:
- Use a pencil and paper to work out the answers to each question.
- Do NOT use a textbook or calculator – the exam has a built-in calculator which is available on certain questions.
- At the beginning of the ALEKS assessment, you will go through a brief tutorial that will introduce you to the ALEKS system and interface. You will be shown how to enter different types of answers, how to use the ALEKS calculator, and how to graph something by hand.
- Do your best to answer each question correctly.
- Enter your answers carefully. Once you submit your response to a question, you cannot return to that question to change the answer.
- Select "I don't know" only if you have no idea how to work a problem. If you select "I don't know" repeatedly, it will lower your score on the ALEKS Exam.
- If your computer locks up or freezes during the middle of the exam, try hitting the "Refresh" button on your browser. If that does not work, close your browser and log back in. The work you have already submitted will be saved, and the exam will pick up at the point you left off.
- When you complete the exam, you will see a screen with a pie chart and the % score that you earned on the ALEKS Exam. Your score will be available to your advisor in about one business day.
- Solve all problems on the ALEKS Exam without assistance. This means that you should not use any books or online resources, and you should not get assistance from any other person. As a student at Washington State University, you are a full member of the University community. As a member of the University community, you are subject to the responsibilities of that community. When you violate a University regulation, you are open to disciplinary action of the University. A student at Washington State University has the responsibility to be honest in all academic and personal relationships. Academic integrity is imperative to the progression to real knowledge and to a student's capacity to apply that knowledge to life's problems. Personal integrity is what permits a student to realize goals.

Conor Kelly: "What many fail to realize is that before the Balfour Declaration was drafted, South America, Uganda and even Alaska were proposed as possible sites for a future Jewish state. The reluctance to settle anywhere else but Palestine came down to two words: Eretz Yisrael, Hebrew for "Land of Israel" in its religious context; the holy right. While the persecution of the Jewish people certainly warrants protection, it's clear that this conflict was ignited by the far-right Jewish community, who insisted on building a home on top of another's with no regard to human rights."

26/04/2011/5:50 pm, Fernandina Beach, FL
Well ... I have spent the last 4 days writing. I have just put up 16 postings. My friend Tina gave me a Healing Touch treatment last evening and said my arms and legs seems closed and still. Hmmmm .... maybe because I've been sitting at Sandi's dining room table typing for hours and hours and hours??
I've been paying the price for not writing as I went along, but I was either busy busy busy, or flaked out tired.
I hope I've been able to reconstruct enough of our wonderful experience to give you a feeling for what it was like.
Because words will just not do it, I'll try to find some time to put pictures in the gallery. How I admire the folks who do that regularly! It will be a while, because now I must turn my attention to the boat. We are at the dock at Fernandina Harbour Marina until Friday morning when we move over to Tiger Point. Haul out will be that day sometime.
We have a whole lot of work - cleanup and tidy up and servicing all the systems in order to put Madcap to bed for the summer. And, just to make it difficult, Shrimpfest starts here on Thursday! We've never been here for it, but apparently thousands of people arrive in town. There are parades and music and vendors and fireworks and .... shrimp!
We have a car rented starting Monday - so we head north then.
The pic is of Chris and Peach and Kirby - on board Star of the Sea. We were so pleased to see them here and they got the first rush of excitement over our Cuba Adventure.
Off to work now. Jim is sighing loudly!
22/04/2011/4:00 pm, Fernandina Beach, Florida
We left Varadero, Cuba at 7:30 on Monday morning, and 74 hours later, we arrived in Fernandina Beach, Florida, USA. It was our longest passage so far - 3 days and 3 nights - and we did it mostly all under sail! (only 28 hours with the engine on)
Cuba was exciting, enchanting, enticing, and enigmatic. We are so glad we went. Check in here was smooth and easy. It's great to be Canadian!!
Now, we visit dear friends, connect with other cruisers, clean, catch up on emails, pay our taxes, empty the boat, haul out and then head north. Still trying to write blogs - they will come!!
We are well, happy, fulfilled, proud, tired, and ready for the next great opportunity life presents us!
So little time left. We were both feeling so torn. We have loved being here in Cuba, and yet there is a longing for home that is starting to rise. We want to see our family and garden and our "home friends". And the weather window this week looks excellent. Yet when Rick went off down the road to get the weather files from the internet, I was hoping that he'd come back and say - "Nope - can't go till the end of the week."
That didn't happen of course so we all moved into departure mode. I used up my bananas in muffins, and made chocolate chip cookies for those middle of the night pick-me-ups. Donna and I were both making bread, and I dug out my last package of hamburg to make a pot of chili for quick food on the crossing. I got a few more eggs from Debbie to boil and have for instant food if the weather was rough, and we stowed everything that could slide around. Speaking of sliding, our table has come off its base and Jim doesn't have the right screws or tools to secure it properly. So, when we are sailing, we wedge a boat pole between it and the wall, and when one of the officials sat down to write on it, I quickly sat on the other side and held it in place with knees and hands, praying that he didn't want me to move around and sign anything!
We sold our remaining pesos and CUC's to Debbie - our local banker - who will then resell them to the next boaters who need them. We were also able to sell her some of our remaining food - things that she can't get readily here - and she lives here 10 months a year so food "from home" is welcome. We left her with the remaining give aways to disperse - a few soaps, razors, paper and markers. And she gave us the lobster that Gail and Peter had left. Oh - lucky us! Thanks Jabiru! Jim plotted our course and he and Rick compared waypoints. He topped up the fuel tanks and water tanks and made sure all our lines were where they should be.
We signed the table - thanks for the dremelling tool Tom! We took our last round of pictures. We gave our papers to Maria, the Customs lady in the form fitting short skirt and jacket (and she had the figure for it too -no dowdy uniforms for female officials here) We asked Jordie the Immigration man (who looked all of 18) what was the earliest time he could be there in the morning. (He showed up at 6:30!) And then we went up to the on-site restaurant with Rick and Donna to make the last of our plans over pizza. Sam and Alex joined us and we were able to learn about their trip, and the fact that Sam almost lost his life in an avalanche in the Zermatt last summer, but managed to get on a little sailboat and sail across the Atlantic two months later. And we think WE are brave??
And then it was time for bed. One last Cuban night.

About the Stabile Student Center
The new Stabile Student Center is comprised of several comfortable spaces where students, faculty, alumni, and staff can relax and interact. The design, by Marble Fairbanks Architects, offers a social hub on the main floor of the School. The architects' reconfiguration of the west side of the Journalism building's main and basement floors makes clever use of previously underutilized spaces, including a long-abandoned stair hall and the outdoor terrace.
A large multi-purpose space on the main floor that can be used for socializing, study or events is the heart of the Center. The offices of Career Services and the Dean of Students and the Library occupy main- and mezzanine-level offices adjacent to the social hub. An open stairway, parallel to the Broadway-facing windows, brings light to the basement, which features round-the-clock interview stations, a teaching lab, conference rooms, and a suite for Ph.D. students.
The Admissions office, on the north side of the Dean Joan Konner Alumni/Alumae Hall (lobby), is newly visible. The lobby has enhanced lighting and attractive new seating.
A glass enclosure on the west side of the School's terrace creates an 800-square foot café. The café's main façade, a large double-hung window, can be raised to create an open-air cafè in pleasant weather. The café's food service area occupies the former 2950 Broadway stair hall and is accessible both from the café and the social hub.

Modern programming environments automatically collect lots of data on software development, notably changes and defects. The field of mining software archives is concerned with the automated extraction, collection, and abstraction of information from this data. This is the introduction to a special issue of IEEE Software presenting a selection of the exciting research that is taking place in the field.

text: Here is an upgraded Peavey Valveking Royal 8 all tube amp. It's rated at 5 watts but it's very loud. This amp is practically brand new. I got my hands on this December 2006. I was curious about it that's why I searched high and low for one. It's a great little amp. Perfect for practice, recording and home use. Even some of the stores don't have this one yet. Stock it sounded ok. I did some upgrades to it and this thing sounds just so much better now. Not a noisy amp at all. Very true to your tone. I re-tubed it with vintage NOS EL84 and 12AX7 tubes. These are the real tubes as compared to the current production junk these days. I replaced the speaker with a top of the line Jensen P8R with Alnico magnet. These upgrades made it sound smooth with a nice breakup and clearer. The clean is nice and warm. It now has a nice growl to it. The gain & tone controls are much more responsive after the upgrades. The upgrades alone cost me a good deal. Vintage NOS tubes can get expensive. This amp is in pristine condition. Maybe has about 2 hours of use. I will include the stock tubes and speaker if you want them. This is a great price for an upgraded amp. I've done the work for you. Plug and Play!!! Asking $250 obo.

Japan's young star, Yuzuru Hanyu, got the new season off to a good start, winning the Finlandia Trophy in October in Espoo, Finland.
The 18-year-old led after the short after popping the Axel, but landing a quad.
He hit two quads (Salchow and toe loop), in his new "Romeo and Juliet" free program and earned 265.59 points overall. "I was not in very good condition today, so I was happy about the quad toe and Salchow. At the end I was so tired that I was very satisfied I didn't fall down," the bubbly teenager said. "My training at home has been going well, but when I arrived here my condition wasn't really good so I tried to remember the good condition I had."
It was the second consecutive victory for Hanyu at this competition. He decided to come back again this year as he said he really liked it.
Hanyu's preparation for this season, under the tutelage of coach Brian Orser and choreographer David Wilson in Toronto, was productive. "I wanted to be stronger and to have more stamina. I had to do more run-throughs and skate more programs and I did that," Hanyu explained.
He has kept his very successful Blues short program to "Parisian Walkways" and said he focused more on the long over the summer. "I brushed up my short program. It is the same as last year so I spent more time on the long program," he said.
The long program, however, is also familiar. Hanyu's "Romeo and Juliet" routine is set to the soundtrack of Nino Rota. He had previously skated to "Romeo and Juliet" in the 2011-12 season, but to a different soundtrack by Craig Armstrong.
Hanyu is following the trend of many prominent skaters this season by returning to a former successful program. He said he has his own reasons for this. "When the earthquake hit Japan (in March 2011) I was using this music and in that season I finished third at the World Championships," he said.
"This music gives me a lot of memories and feelings, that's why I wanted to use it. Also, the Olympic Games is not something that happens every year, it comes around only once in four years. I think you should show the result of four years, so also the music and the experience is the result of four years."
Hanyu said Finlandia Trophy was a good preparation for the Grand Prix. "I was not successful with the combination jumps, so I will work on that for my first Grand Prix, Skate Canada," the reigning Japanese champion said. He said he also wants to continue doing more complete run-throughs of his programs in practice in order to develop more consistency and stamina.
Another important goal for the 2012 World bronze medalist is to continue to improve his artistic impression. "I think I can only jump," he said with a laugh. "I think that I am focusing too much on the jumps. I want to express more emotions while I am skating. My former coach Nanami Abe always emphasized showing emotion during skating and my choreographer David Wilson also emphasizes that and is teaching me."
Obviously, the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi next February are the main goal of the season. Hanyu has already been to Sochi – he competed at the Grand Prix Final last December, finishing second to his teammate Daisuke Takahashi. "I had a very good impression about the place and I had a very good experience there, so I would be happy to visit again," he recalled.
"Actually my skating was very good there, that's why I have a good memory of the place. I remember that I went jogging with my coach Brian Orser alongside the Black Sea."
If everything goes according to plan, he might find himself once again jogging on the beach of the Black Sea resort in a few short months from now.

It startled me to hear the beautiful woman in a L'Oreal advert say "I believe in science, not miracles."
And the reason I was taken aback was because this advertiser had come to the conclusion that its world wide audience would identify with such a belief.
One hears in this statement an implicit rebuttal of religion.
(One also hears the deception that other makers claim their cosmetics are the product of miracles.)
