NJIT Physicist Helps to Discover a New Structure in Earth's Radiation Belt
NJIT Professor Louis Lanzerotti collaborated on research that helped discover a new structure in Earth's inner radiation belt.
An NJIT physicist is a collaborator in the discovery of a new structure in Earth's inner radiation belt -- a zebra-striped structure of highly energized electrons that could endanger humans in space and also damage low-earth navigation and communication satellites.
And surprisingly, the new structure is produced not by solar activity but by Earth's slow rotation. Scientists had previously thought Earth's rotation couldn't affect the motion of radiation belt particles. The data supporting these discoveries comes from a measuring device aboard the two NASA Van Allen Probes currently orbiting Earth.
Louis Lanzerotti, distinguished research professor of physics at NJIT, is the principal investigator for the measuring device, called the Van Allen Probes' Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE), which collected the data. The findings are reported in a paper co-authored by Lanzerotti for the March 20 issue of the journal Nature.
Lanzerotti and his team at NJIT's Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research collaborated on the research with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and Fundamental Technologies, Inc.
"It's always hard to predict how scientific research affects the realm of practical design," says Lanzerotti. "But these findings could have implications for those who model space weather and those who design and operate navigation and communication satellites as well as spacecraft used for national security. "
Anyone who designs these systems will need to consider the newly discovered structure of the radiation belt, adds Lanzerotti, a prominent physicist who is known in science circles for having Minor Planet 5504 named after him, as well as a mountain in the Antarctic. The minor planet is named in recognition of his space and planetary research and Mount Lanzerotti recognizes his geophysical research.
"It is amazing how Earth's space environment, including the radiation belts, continue to surprise us even after we have studied them for over 50 years," he says. "Our understanding of the complex structures of the belts, and the processes behind the belts' behaviors, continues to grow, all of which contribute to the eventual goal of providing accurate space weather modeling and helping designers to build communication systems and spacecraft that can withstand the highly energized particles in earth's radiation belt."

Excuse me, I believe this is yours
One of the earliest memories I have from my childhood is of my Mother and I in a grocery store, Safeway at Admiral and Pittsburg. The man in front of us in the check-out line dropped several dollar bills when he pulled his hand from his pants pocket. I saw him drop the money so I picked it (the money) up and tapped him on his hip, which was about eye level for me at that time. I said "excuse me, I think this is yours. The man thanked me and gave me .50 cents which was quite a bit of money to me at the time. I believe honesty is usually the best policy.
Mom was holding my sister Wanda's left hand to keep it from flailing about. Mom asked me to hold Wanda's right hand to keep it from banging about too. My sister was dying of cancer. I held Wanda's hand until she had passed, then left the hospital room. After helping Mom make the arrangements Wanda, funeral home etc. I went home.
Once at home I turned on the television as much for the noise as any other reason. The evening news was just beginning. The top story of the day, March 31st, was about Oral Roberts.
For those who don't know the story or have forgotten, here is a brief overview. Oral had locked himself in his prayer tower and had said publicly that if he did not receive 6 million dollars by March 31st, to save his school and ministry that God was going to call him home. Luckily for Oral there was a man in Florida with more money than brains, he donated the entire 6 million to Oral. As you may have guessed, I'm not a big Oral Roberts fan. I believed there could not be a God!
I'm standing in the ICU unit at Hillcrest Medical Center. I've never felt so alone in my entire life even though my sisters and brother and their spouses were all present. My Mother is lying on the bed in a coma. Her vital signs are dropping and the nurse in charge needs some answers from me. My Mother had a living will filed with the hospital. A living will designates a person to make life and death decisions for you if you are not capable, Mom asked me to be the "one" even though I'm the youngest of my siblings. I asked the nurse to speak to a doctor but none were available at that moment. So, I asked the nurse what options I had. The nurse said that other than putting my Mother on life support or taking extraordinary measures there were no options. I had discussed this scenario at length with my Mother when I signed the living will and she did not want to be put on life support. I made my decision, no life support or extraordinary measures to prolong life. I hope it was the right decision. I believe some members of my family still harbor some ill feelings toward me regarding that decision.
Until my daughter was born almost six years ago, I thought life was about possessions. How much "stuff" can you accumulate? But, the moment I looked into her eyes and held her tiny body close to mine I knew-knew two things. Life was not about possessions, because we really don't own anything. It's all on loan to us. And I believed there must be a higher power at work here. For how could I be worthy of the feelings I had the first time I held my daughter (and still get them when I hold her now). I've done a lot of things in my life that I'm not very proud of, but, they are still part of me. I believed in God. I had not found God, I dislike that cliché he was never lost.
I'm recalling these events as I sit in my garage smoking a cigarette trying to make sense of life and it's meaning when I have what alcoholics call "a moment of clarity" (epiphany for those of you who like fancy words). I believe that our life is a package. It contains all our deeds and misdeeds, experiences both pleasurable and terrible. I hope life is more than memories that fade and die to be lost forever.
So, when I transition from this world to the next and I face the divine I can hand the package that was this life to them and say "excuse me, I think this is yours and thank you"!

Fantastic Fantasticks
Jim Jr | Buffalo, NY United States | 04/07/2001
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This recording of "Fantasticks" is a must for anyone who loves the show - and almost everyone who has seen it does love it. The only criticism that could be made of this recording is that Alfred Lakeman as El Gallo, the narrator who holds the show together, lacks the dash, charisma and soaring voice of Jerry Orbach from the original recording. But then, Mr. Obach is someone that would be impossible to replace in almost any role he has done. Yes, the same Jerry Orbach in "Law and Order" created legendary performances in "Fantasticks"; "Carnival"; the original "Chicago"; "Promises, Promises"; Lumiere in the film of "Beauty and The Beast"; "42nd Street" and others. So replacing a truly magnetic star is a tough assignment for anyone. It's a crime that he does not have the opportunity to display his singing voice more often today.This recording preserves the wonderful poetic diaglogue that is so much a part of the magic of this show. It is a treat to have the dialogue of the Old Actor and Mortimer in "The Old Actor's Farewell" as well as El Gallo's "You Wonder How Such Things Begin" and the beautiful "Curious Paradox" (yes, the latter two are on the original recording too, but to have them in this context is wonderful).Then there is the bonus track of "A Perfect Time To Be In Love" written for the 30th Anniversary tour with Robert Goulet that comes just before "Soon It's Going To Rain" in the show. It is a lovely addition to an already legendary score.Don't abandon the original recording, but get this one to make memories of this wonderful show even better."
I'm biased, but..
Joshua Saulle | Yonkers, NY USA | 12/04/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"In my humble opinion, the Fantasticks is the greatest show ever written, and I seem to be borne out by posterity, the highest judge of all. To those who feel differently, including the unfortunatley misguided reviewer on this page, I say that no one should completely trash a show without having actually seen it. This disc has much of the spoken dialogue, so you can get a general idea of the plot, but nothing is quite like sitting in that tiny theatre on Sullivan St. in the village as the harp and piano play that magical opening. I'm obviously biased, but I challenge anyone to go to see this show with an open mind and not fall completely in love. The story is a simple and univeral one, as are the themes and characters. The music.. well what can I say? Harvey Schmidt is a bit of a genius. His style is so unique and distinctive. The music always avoids sappy sweetness by its sharp dissonances and rhythms. I've read that as a kid Schmidt's favorite music was jazz and Bartok, and I think it shows. Overall the Fantasticks is the antithesis of the broadway show; it is intimate, bittersweet, nostalgic, economical, and even after forty years, amazingly fresh and young. I plead with everyone to go see it wherever you can. If you've already seen it, go see it again."
Must-have musical for anyone!
Ironcharles | Houston, TX | 02/21/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Many musical lovers I have talked to know very little about Tom Jones and Harvey Schmidt's musical "The Fantasticks." I find this odd. What's the longest-running musical in history? No, it's not CATS, thank God. It's "The Fantasticks." And you can check if you don't believe me. It opened in an off-Broadway theater in 1960 and has been playing ever since--more than 10,000 performances to date. The story is a classic one, reminiscent of Shakespeare in parts: there is a boy and a girl. Their parents want their children to fall in love, and so they pretend to feud, knowing that "to manipulate children, you merely say 'no'!" the children fall in love and try to keep it from their parents (unsuccessfully, though--the parents know what's going on all along). When the boy and girl find they have been tricked, they go their separate ways to find out what they really want. I won't tell you the end, although you can probably guess. The script is wonderfully comedic, if predictable at parts. Much of it is included on the recording. The music is wonderful--some of the songs are loved right when you hear them, while others take a few listens to grow on you. It would be great if there were a few more samples of the music here. If you can, see this show performed! It's excellent!"

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) reiterated yesterday that human rights protection and implementation should play a crucial role in the cross-strait talks on an investment protection agreement.
"The government should make sure that the pact is not another empty agreement," Su said after the party's weekly Central Standing Committee meeting.
The majority of the 16 agreements signed in the past four years were not implemented, which makes Beijing's determination to enforce the clauses on personal safety questionable, Su said.
The DPP first proposed signing a cross-strait investment protection agreement in 1992, because personal safety and basic human rights of Taiwanese in China were not protected, Su said.
"We still insist today that personal safety, including detention notifications within 24 hours, visiting rights for families, rights to hire lawyers and to have a lawyer present during questioning should be prioritized," he said.
The government should also prioritize the institutionalization of Chinese investment in Taiwan, Su said, because Beijing has been strategically deploying its sovereignty wealth funds and investments from state-run companies worldwide.
"These investments entail a risk to national security for Taiwan if Chinese invest in sensitive industries," he said.
The DPP has listed regulations institutionalizing Chinese investment inflows as a priority item on the legislative agenda in the next session, Su said.
The party's Central Standing Committee yesterday also reached a resolution on the case of Bruce Chung (鍾鼎邦), a Taiwanese businessman and Falun Gong practitioner who has been detained in China since June 18, demanding that the government raise the issue with Chinese officials in today's negotiations and pledging to support rescue efforts.
Separately yesterday, former DPP chairperson Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) urged President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) to speak out about Chung's detention and Beijing's behind-the-scenes maneuvering to remove Republic of China flags from an Olympics promotional event in London.
"A government that only appeases China or asks for favors from China will never win Beijing's respect nor reassure Taiwanese," she said in a press release.
Tsai, who is known as a tough negotiator and an international trade expert, questioned the substance of the proposed cross-strait investment protection and promotion agreement.
Tsai said Ma needs to explain why Taiwan and China could not solve trade disputes in an international arbitration mechanism despite the fact that both are WTO members.
The government should explain how person-to-person disputes would be arbitrated in a third country before China amends its domestic law and how person-to-government dispute settlement would be implemented and legally binding without an international arbitration mechanism, she said.
Tsai also questioned why a clause demanding that China notify Taiwan's government and the families of Taiwanese who have been detained could not be written into the agreement and why the clause could not cover all Taiwanese people.
The Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) has failed to play a neutral role in the eight rounds of negotiations thus far, she said, adding that SEF Chairman Chiang Pin-kung (江丙坤) had a conflict of interests and was overly influenced by his role as deputy chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT).
No institution and mechanism in Taiwan has the authority to monitor the semi-governmental SEF, which is alleged to be involved in cross-strait lobbying and profiteering, and that is why it needs a complete reform, Tsai said.

Long story short, my lovely and generous boyfriend gave me two rings when he proposed last week because he couldn't decide which ring to go with! Well, he only used one for the actual proposal and told me of a second ring a few hours later. Both are antiques (my only ask) and stunning. One is more traditional looking, with an oval diamond set in yellow gold, circa 1940s. The other is art deco, set in white gold, circa 1920s with three dainty diamonds ad filigree designs. After wearing each for a few days, we both agree that the art deco one is more 'me' and suitable for my 25 year old self. The other diamond is a little too big for me now (I think it's over a carat but I'm not sure) and the setting is not 100% my taste. Now… I gotta decide what to do with the oval diamond ring.
Here are my options:
1) Keep it, wear it on special occasions, and grow into it as I may want to have larger stone as I get older.
2) Reset it as a ring with a setting I prefer.
3) Reset it as a pendant for a necklace.
4) Exchange it. For the value of the ring, I could get both our wedding bands, and at least two pairs of nice earrings!
I know it's a lucky problem to have but I'm pretty confused as to what I should do. I have 2 weeks to decide if I want to exchange it. I don't want to have any regrets! I'm curious to know what would you do.

One more stop. That's all the Arizona Wildcats needed to have a chance. One more stop with USC at its 4-yard line with 4:15 left.
The stop never game.
USC senior running back Silas Redd ran the ball on seven consecutive plays, gaining 43 yards — 10 of which came on third-and-8 with under two minutes left and Arizona out of timeouts.
And that was that. USC held on to win 38-31 in its first game under interim head coach Ed Orgeron while the Wildcats dropped to 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the Pac-12.
"We knew they were going to run it and we didn't stop the run," coach Rich Rodriguez said in his postgame interview on 1290-AM KCUB. "They get three first downs when we know they're going to run. They just overpowered us, it looked like."
But on a night when the Wildcats' play went from frustrating (down 14-0 in the first quarter after allowing two long passes) to embarrassing (special teams' gaffes) to encouraging (how 'bout that fourth-quarter rally) to the disappointing final defensive series, the wild wheel of emotions should come to rest pointing at this word: Hopeful.
"We're going to keep fighting, no matter what," running back Ka'Deem Carey said on 1290-AM.
"I feel like we can have a great season. This is only two losses. We found a rhythm. We found who we are. It was a good game for us, even though we lost."
What the Cats found is that their passing game doesn't have to be a season-long lost cause.
You did not bet on this: Senior quarterback B.J. Denker completed 28 of 44 passes for 363 yards, with four touchdowns and no interceptions.
He entered the game having completed one pass of more than 20 yards to a wide receiver. He exited with touchdown passes of 57 yards to Nate Phillips, 45 yards to Garic Wharton and a 28-yarder to Wharton with 4:18 to go.
"It opens up everything for the offense," Carey said of the passing game.
"Just being able to throw it down field, get the tempo running. Once we get first downs, we make the defense run. Later on, when we started to get going, we saw the defense, hands on their knees. They were exhausted. It was great to see that."
So, Denker can pass. He still seemed a bit jittery early, but he was over 200 yards at halftime, including the scoring pass to Phillips with 56 seconds left. Before that arcing throw, USC led 28-3 and was standing over the Cats as the referee was counting them out.
Denker fired downfield with more zip in the second half. His best play came when he scrambled far out of the pocket and still had the poise to find David Richards in the back of the end zone. Sometimes, it's nice to have a 6-foot-4 receiver down field.
"I thought he made some nice throws, and the guys made some phenomenal catches," Rodriguez said.
"And there were some other throws we left out there, particularly in the first half. We had a couple of touchdown plays we didn't connect on. B.J. is capable of doing it, and the wideouts had a pretty nice day."
Rodriguez will find no shortage of correctable moments, starting with tempo. It was good late, poor early.
"It was 100 percent tempo," Denker said of the offense's improvement in the fourth quarter, when the Wildcats went 96 yards for a touchdown and also hit on a two-play, 42-yard scoring drive.
"If we had the tempo and pace in the first and second quarters that we had late in the third and the fourth, it would have been a different game. I got comfortable and I got in a rhythm. I felt like they were gassed, especially their front four."
So, Arizona has lost its first two conference games. That was to be expected. Lose at Washington. Lose at USC.
Record-wise, the Wildcats are where they're supposed to be. Progress-wise, they raised the ceiling on the passing game, the team's biggest question.
From that comes the hope that Arizona is capable of succeeding during prove-it time.
Arizona is entering its "winnable" conference stretch. Four of the next five games are against Utah, at Colorado, at Cal and vs. Washington State. Now is the time to sync the defense from earlier in the season with the passing game against USC.
At least now, even after a loss, UA knows a passing game exists.

My mindset is we didn't lose, we just ran outta time. We never gave up. Proud of my brothers. This is the turning point. #BearDown

I def hate losing, but I'd be lying if I said im not proud of the progress weve made as an offense. We on noww!!!! #BearDown

The worst feeling is losing when u know you didn't play to your capability. We've got to be consistently great. We'll get there though #btfd

In any organisation, we hear about the need to manage a 'change process' to navigate staff through a major transition such as a new IT system, staffing restructure or relocation
Meaningful conversations at work can help avoid potential incidences of suicide
Bryan Belling and Matthew Parker outline the possible risks involved when employers poach the employees of competitors.
On 1 May 2013, the Supreme Court of New South Wales handed down judgment in HRX Pty Ltd v Scott [2013] NSWSC 451 (HRX v Scott). In doing so, the Court sent a clear message to employers about the risks associated with "poaching" employees from competitors. The Court imposed an order for costs against the new employer which had initially funded the employee's defence. The claim was brought by the employee's previous employer against its former employee due to an alleged breach of the employee's restraint of trade obligations.
The facts
HRX Pty Ltd (HRX), the former employer, and Talent2 Pty Ltd (Talent2), the new employer, are both providers of human resources consultancy services in direct competition with each other. Mr Scott, the defendant, was employed by HRX until 31 January 2012, when he resigned and began working for Talent2.
Mr Scott's contract of employment with HRX contained a post-employment restraint provision which prevented him from soliciting HRX's clients or working for a competitor for a specified period upon ceasing employment with HRX. Prior to litigating the matter, HRX requested that Mr Scott and Talent2 provide undertakings to the effect that both would stop soliciting HRX's clients and that Mr Scott would cease working for Talent2.
When these undertakings were not provided, HRX commenced proceedings against Mr Scott who defended the claim with the financial assistance of Talent2. The proceedings progressed for a period, however on 22 August 2012, Talent2 advised Mr Scott that they would no longer fund his defence and, if he did not resign from his position at Talent2 his employment would be terminated.
In light of this, Mr Scott resigned from Talent2 and submitted to most of the orders sought by HRX. HRX then proceeded to seek an order that Talent2 pay its costs of the proceedings in accordance with s 98 of the Civil Procedure Act 2005 (CPA).
The decision
The Chief Justice in Equity, Justice Bergin, ordered that Talent2 pay HRX's costs even though Talent2 was not a party to the original proceedings. The Court determined that its powers to award costs under s 98 of the CPA extended to non-parties due to its "full power" to determine by whom, to whom and to what extent costs are to be paid.
In handing down her decision Justice Bergin stated that:
"When a new employer "stands up to" and funds litigation brought by the former employer against its new employee in circumstances where there are breaches of obligations owed to the former employer, the new employer may be at risk of an order being made against it under s 98 of the Act. Of course it will depend upon the circumstances of each case."
The Court determined that without the funding from Talent2, the litigation would not have proceeded and Talent2 was in a position where it would have benefited from the employee's successful litigation as it would have retained an experienced employee in a competitive market.
Implications for corporations
The decision in HRX v Scott provides an important lesson for corporations aiming to recruit the employees of its competitors. Justice Bergin stated that:
"It is incumbent upon employers who effectively poach their competitors' employees to ensure that those employees are not acting in breach of their obligations to their former employers, particularly where the consequence of such breach is a benefit to the new employer."
By ignoring a new employee's obligations to their previous employer, a corporation puts itself at significant risk even in circumstances where litigation isn't commenced directly against it.

Telltale Games is ready to roll out the second chapter of their episodic Homestar Runner series, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People on WiiWare, but the team took time to swing into PAX 2008 and host a play-along panel in front of a packed room. The panel, called "Make a Scene with Telltale -- The Strong Bad Edition," allowed attendees to help make a short sequence involving Strong Bad and the other denizens of the Homestar Runner universe on-the-fly. It went down kind of like an improv night, with audience members shouting suggestions to the Telltale team. Of course, that leads to some goofy ideas, but since Strong Bad isn't exactly a beacon of seriousness, the silliness of the audience was more than welcome.
The first decisions for the room were to select the location of the scene and the characters involved. The audience overwhelmingly selected Strong Badia. The character selection process, though, was a little more back-and-forth. Strong Bad was an obvious pick, as was Homsar, but after that, it was a shout-down between fans of Bubs and King of Town. Not a lot of love for Marzipan in the room. The final cast included Strong Bad, Homsar, Homestar Runner, and King of Town. But once these were decided, the madness set in.
From all angles, people yelled ideas for the scene. A young woman at the front of the room felt very passionate about butter. She wanted the King of Town to invade Strong Badia with a stick of butter. The Telltale team just went along with it, setting the stage for a total goof.
The script was hastily written, with the butter actually being an important ingredient in the King's giant pancake. And unfortunately, Homestar Runner found himself standing in the pancake as it was cooking. Overhead, Homsar just did his thing. Daaaahahahahhaaahahaa…
Next, it was time to record the voices. Audience members were asked to do their best impressions. No mercy was shown to underperformers. The Strong Bad impersonator was very, very good. A younger fellow piped up with a good Homestar, but this was a melancholy Homestar. Homsar was pretty close and one guy made a solid run at King of Town. Each line was recorded live.
As soon as the script and voices were complete, Telltale went to work to create the scene with the engine that powers the Cool Game for Attractive People. While two employees worked on the scene, questions were fielded from the audience. Now, bear in mind, this was the same group of people that wanted butter battles, so the questions to Telltale were all over the map. There was much regaling over the joys of working on Sam & Max, promises of good stuff with the upcoming Wallace & Gromit series, and fond memories about days gone by at Lucasarts.
We did learn that the team would not only like to expand out to XBLA and the PlayStation Network, but also found the iPhone a very promising destination for their storytelling. (No actual announcements were made, but Strong Bad on the iPhone is a very cool proposition.) They did confess to finding WiiWare a challenge, but said that nothing was cut from the game to get it under the 40MB limit.
The team also talked about the difficulties of getting the look of the game just right. They made a wrong assumption about the ease of animating characters with no arms. The first stab was to go cel-shaded, but they were displeased with the overall effect. So, after much tinkering, Telltale found a way to get this decidedly 2D world into a 3D engine.
After questions ended, Telltale revealed the final product. The scene was just a couple minutes long, but it was indeed Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People with user generated content. Each character was animated to match the lines as they were spoken. And it all ended with the acknowledgement by Strong Bad himself that PAX is indeed full of crazy people in one of his famous (infamous?) email segments.

text: This cute film is Doris Day's film debut and in it she plays Georgia Garrett, a substitute traveller on an ocean cruise. Her friend Elvira Kent (Janis Paige) had scheduled the cruise but at the last minute cancels when she suspects that her husband is cheating on her and she decides to stay at home to check up on him. So she gets her friend Georgia to go on the cruise in her stead. Meanwhile the husband hires a detective to watch Elvira while on the cruise, because, he too, suspects cheating. Of course, the detective falls for the substitute Elvira (Doris Day), making a somewhat complicated scenario with many possibilities. This is a fun-filled spoof with lots of good tunes by Doris Day.

NEMA Podcasts Explain New Lightbulb Labels and Lumens
To more fully explain America's transition to energy efficient lighting, NEMA is producing a six-part podcast series focused on the 5LS of Lighting: Location, Lumens, Lightbulbs, Label, and Law. As utilities, contractors, and consumers attempt to both understand and explain the new lighting world, they can quickly learn the basics. The most recent releases are included below.
Labels Podcast–New lightbulb packaging labels are starting to appear on store shelves. There will be varying types of information included on these new labels, and to help sort it out for consumers, we spoke with Hampton Newsome, attorney at the Federal Trade Commission. Information on the new labels will include:
- Brightness (lumens)
- Estimated energy cost savings and life of bulb
- Watts (energy use)
- Whether or not the bulb contains mercury
- Color temperature
Click here to listen to the 5Ls of Lighting–Labels podcast.
Lumens Podcast–Many consumers are unaware of the differences between watts and lumens. To help our listeners understand what these lightbulb characteristics are, we spoke with Pam Horner, Director of Government & Industry Relations at OSRAM SYLVANIA. We learned that a lumen is a measure of useful light, "useful" referring to light that the human eye can see. A watt, on the other hand, does not measure light at all, but rather the amount of electric power used by a bulb. We also discussed the tactics consumers should use when purchasing replacement bulbs.
Click here to listen to the 5Ls of Lighting–Lumens podcast.
LUMEN (Lighting Understanding for a More Efficient Nation)
Along with the American Lighting Association and the Alliance to Save Energy, NEMA is a member of the steering committee of LUMEN (Lighting Understanding for a More Efficient Nation). LUMEN is a consortium of organizations and professionals united to help consumers understand energy-efficient lighting products and their applications. More information about America's transition to energy-efficient lighting can be found at www.LUMENnow.org.

By Bonnie Gangelhoff
As young girl growing up in the Texas Hill Country, Susan Lange-Marshall recalls that creating art was a wonderful escape. "I had a really rough time as a child. My mother was unstable. And we literally survived on mayonnaise sandwiches," Lange-Marshall says. If there was one thing she could count on, it was art. As a youngster, she relished the time spent drawing what she calls "fashion women," the glamorous models that adorned the pages of magazines like Glamour.
For Lange-Marshall, the fashion world represented a safe universe beyond the poverty and uncertainty she experienced in daily life. The positive reinforcement she received from teachers encouraged her to pursue art as an adult. After graduating from high school, she continued to develop drawing and painting skills, enrolling at Texas State Technical Institute in Waco, TX, where she majored in art and advertising.
Today, she is an accomplished impressionist painter living in northern New Mexico. Currently, her work is on view in the American Impressionist Society show at Saks Galleries in Denver, CO. She recently won a top award for a still-life painting, GINGER JAR, at the Oil Painters of America Western Regional Exhibition held in August at Howard/Mandville Gallery in Kirkland, WA.
Lange-Marshall's subject matter varies—she is at ease painting all genres including figures, still lifes, and landscapes. But she remains, as she was in childhood, drawn to the figure. Her figurative works often feature an animal. And there's a good reason, she says. As a child her own dog, as well as dogs belonging to her grandmothers, were constant companions. They also served as calming influences in her tumultuous life. "I feel like our relationships with pets are so special and loving," she says. "I feel there is a spiritual connection with animals, especially for those of us with rough pasts. It can heal your soul."
Since she often feels most peaceful when her own dogs are present, she strives to convey that same sense of peace and serenity in her works. "I want others to feel the unconditional love I have experienced in these relationships," Lange-Marshall says.
Recently, she says, ideas for paintings spring to mind in the early morning hours while emerging from a dream state. "I feel this awakening period gives me a fresh source of emotionally-charged compositions," she explains. To complement the emotional aspect of her works, she employs an impressionistic style, including elements like bold brush strokes. For her color choices, she favors pure colors, mixing them directly on the canvas.
Lange-Marshall believes so strongly that art has helped her heal emotional wounds that she regularly donates a portion of the proceeds from the sale of her works to charities for abused children. "I see children suffering and I feel like this is a way to give back," she says. "It's a way to complete my life."

|vol. 60, no.4
|A 19-yr study of the dynamics of an invasive alien species, Bischofia javanica Blume, in a secondary forest was conducted in the Bonin Islands, Japan. The study was begun in 1984 when another alien species, Pinus luchuensis Mayer, had begun to die because of infection by a pine nematode as well as typhoon damage in 1983. Diameters at breast height (DBHs) of all trees in a 20 by 20 m plot and heights of all saplings (<1.3 m, b0.3 m in height) were measured almost every 3 yr. The total basal area of P. luchuensis decreased over time, and all trees had fallen over by 1998. The total basal area of B. javanica increased more than 10-fold over 19 yr without changes in tree or sapling density. Up to 1990, growth rates of trees of B. javanica were higher than those of two native canopy trees (Pouteria obovata and Machilus kobu), but a third native canopy tree (Schima mertensiana) had growth rates comparable with those of B. javanica. After 1990, there were few differences between growth rates of B. javanica and native species. However, mortality and recruitment of B. javanica were lower than those of native species of canopy trees during the survey period. The higher growth rate, lower mortality, and lower recruitment led to a shift from a skewed size distribution of the individuals of B. javanica toward a more bellshaped size distribution. Our results suggest that regeneration and maintenance of B. javanica populations in the secondary forests depend on canopy gaps occasionally created by disturbances.

I was being brought to this place where it's known as Serendah Tom Yam or Serendah 桥头 Tom Yam (桥头 = bridgehead). The place itself does not have a signboard. It's kitchen is right in front of the restaurant while the outdoor seatings are at the side.
It was up to my friend to recommend the dishes with just very simple names with a delicious complex taste.
Six-taste soup 六味汤
On a hot sunny day, let's start with a refreshing six-taste soup. It can have it hot or cold. It's a bowl of black grass jelly, with syrup jelly, and cendol (for those I can see). A nice bowl of herbal soup that is not very herbal-ish. I don't think it's meant to taste herbal-ish, though.
Tom yam
The famous dish of the day, Tom Yam. It's a spicy tomyam but not spicy enough for some of my friends (that depends on your spiciness tolerance level) and it's not the sour-ish type. It's still good with rice. It's cooked with 2 types of squid (white and brown), prawns, and some chicken meats.
Foo Yong Egg 芙蓉蛋
Don't let the plain old brownish fried egg fool you. It's the brownish parts that makes it's fragrantly delicious with a generous amount of sliced onions. I love the crispy sides.
Fried chicken
This chicken is a quick snatch among us. Don't be intimidated by the burned sides. It's taste is well marinated and fried to a nice fragrant. The texture is not hard, although it looks so. This is like Chinese popcorn chicken. Once you pop, you can't stop.
Fried fish
The crispy top with a soft and tender meat inside, topped with some minced sauce. The minced sauce has a sweet and herbs taste that goes well with the fish or your plain rice. I enjoyed nibbling through the side fins as you can still get the sauce taste after most of it has gone once you flip over the fish.
Stir-fried kangkung
Stir-fried kangkung at the right texture that is still crunchy. It's cooked with garlic and dried shrimps. Nice!
For all these, it costs about RM100.

Wish you could take advantage of professional cycling training, but struggle to fit it into your schedule? Looking for a proven training solution that works, but finding your local options lacking? Now you can get access to all the details of a tested and successful training program, along with expert advice, right here on VeloReviews!
VeloReviews is proud to team up with INTEGRATE Performance Fitness to offer online access to the full 16 week training program that has helped cyclists reach the best level of performance – and beyond. For the first time ever you can take advantage of the success of Al Painter's San Francisco Bay Area fitness and training studio – no matter where you live – with the INTEGRATE Maximum Velocity Program Online.
Joe Friel, cycling coaching guru, says "A steady diet of slow moderate riding will not improve peak performance. You must ride at intensities high enough to improve the three most critical markers to performance improvement: aerobic threshold, lactate threshold and velocity at VO2 max (Friel, "The Mountain Biker's Training Bible", 2000)."This is the cornerstone of the IPF MVP Training Series. Since 2008, this approach has helped San Francisco Bay Area riders ride longer and pedal stronger.Whether you are training for your first century ride, earning bragging rights with a local group, or trying to ride against the clock to crush it, the Maximum Velocity Program (MVP) is for riders of all fitness levels looking to not only set their riding goals, but to easily exceed them!

According to Friendswood police, the teen was home alone in the 16100 block of Bougainvilla when a man kicked in the front door around 10:40am on Tuesday, February 26.
Police said the girl was taking a shower at the time. The suspect reportedly realized someone was home, and he walked into the bathroom and stepped into the shower.
After a brief struggle, the victim was able to call police and the suspect fled on foot.
The victim told police the man said he had a gun. When officers arrived, they began looking for him but had no luck.
The victim met with a police sketch artist and described the suspect as a black male, thin build, 5'8" to 5'9" tall, in his late teens or early 20s. He had short hair with stubble on his chin and had a deep voice.

We've got one smokin' Uma in the house. And she's not tall, blonde, and ready to Kill Bill. She's kinda short, and cone-shaped with silky pieces of tuna and salmon, wrapped with fresh, crunchy, nori. Feast your eyes on Chelsea's Uma Temakeria, now on Stadium.
Hello Isara Salmon, Tsumi Tuna, Terramaki Temaki.
Uma Temakeria may sound like a fancy newcomer to New York's Japanese dining scene, and it is. But in native Brazil, temaki is venerated food art...a meal centerpiece for anyone who loves to nosh. Exquisite, fresh, raw fish is hand-rolled with traditional sushi rice, packed with pickled, seasonal veggies and house-made sauces like creamy miso. It all comes together with crispy seaweed that miraculously stays crunchy with each bite.
Fish N' Chips Temaki: Japan-style.
Not surprisingly, this unique play on sushi is spearheaded by Eater's Chef of the Year 2014, Chris Jaeckle (of All'Onda fame), who's deep knowledge of Japanese cuisine is a force to be reckoned with. This baby is worth a try for any sushi lover or skeptic.

Netflix is quickly becoming the most watch subscription-based streaming website on the planet. Millions of people are currently subscribed to Netflix, and some people feel that cable television is quickly becoming a thing of the past. Netflix offers subscribers a tremendous bargain, and cable simply cannot compete.
Some people feel that Netflix's streaming service is actually hurting the film and television industry. The ability to watch entire seasons in one sitting has taken away from anticipation of weekly episodes. Shows like 'Game of Thrones' and 'Walking Dead' are two of the best cable shows available, but many people feel that Netflix's structure is much better.
'House of Cards' is one of Netflix's best shows, and legendary actor Kevin Spacey stars in the Netflix series. My roommate Jaime Garcia Dias and I binge watched all 3 seasons last week, it was so great. It was also recently revealed that 'Fuller House will be coming to Netflix in the near future, and fans will be able to binge-watch highly anticipated shows. Aside from being able to watch entire seasons whenever you want, Netflix is also available for less than $10 a month, and cable television simply cannot compete with price. HuffPost, recently published an article about this story, and it's quite clear that cable television could soon be on its way out.

Thinking About Tax Cuts
First let me be absolutely clear. The Democrats screwed up royally by not dealing with the tax cut issue long before the November election. Their leverage has disappeared and any solution will be inferior to the worst deal they could have reached in October.
But now there is the question of what to do now. David Leonhardt outlines two options:
The first is a millionaire's tax, in which the Bush tax cuts would be extended only on income below $1 million. . .
The second, more likely option is to extend all the tax cuts — and to package them with other tax cuts and spending likely to do more to help the economy than the Bush tax cuts.
And Atrios comes up with a third:
Dems should just call their bluff and let all the damn tax cuts expire. Then instead of having this political malpractice having a conversation about "extending the Bush tax cuts" Obama can create his own shiny new tax cut plan.
The House effort today to vote on extending the Bush cuts for those with incomes under $250K is good politics but won't lead to anything since the Senate won't be able to vote on it. So which of these options should the Democrats pursue?
Letting them expire would give a temporary political boost since it could be portrayed as Republicans blocking tax cuts. However, that would quickly fade, as House Republicans would pass an extension of all the cuts in January and the Senate would soon follow suit. President Obama would then either have to veto tax cuts for all Americans or sign a bill that extends the deficit by hundreds of billions of dollars.
Passing the cuts but attaching them to some stimulus measures would also add to the deficit (perhaps a three-year extension would mitigate that but there is no reason to think they would be allowed to expire in three years) but would help the economy, which of course helps President Obama in 2012.
The millionaire's tax is attractive politically and might get the two Republican votes in the Senate necessary to pass. It cuts the impact on the deficit and sets up higher tax rates for the very wealthy (as Leonhardt mentions, the fact that we tax the 4o millionth dollar at the same rate as the 400,000th dollar is ludicrous). However if you don't get it passed you are back at the expiration option. I guess I'd go with this as the least of three evils and promise Scott Brown and George Voinovich whatever it took to get their votes.Click here for reuse options!

Stockland give thanks to industry partners at Maroochydore
STOCKLAND recently held its annual Christmas drinks, hosted by Sunshine Coast regional manager David Laner at Maroochy Surf Club.
The drinks were to thank industry partners, including builders, contractors, consultants and government on what was a tough but very rewarding year.
It has been a year in which residential projects such as Bells Reach at Caloundra were launched, while Birtinya, Brightwater and Doonella moved into new stages of development.
At the same time the building blocks were put in place for the Oceanside precinct, which will incorporate residential, shopping, entertainment, business and health services.
"In the past 10 years Stockland has directly invested over $1 billion within the Sunshine Coast and this calendar year sold almost 350 residential lots and a number of commercial sites helping grow the regional economy," Mr Laner said.
Mr Laner was very confident of a strong year ahead, particularly with the positivity around the new Oceanside precinct at Kawana.
"The investment of recent times in the Sunshine Coast places us all in a strong position going into 2013,'' he said.

The Governance Committee is in the initial stages of creating educational materials designed to inform the public on the issues related to deferred compensation for public employees.
A substantial percentage of cities, towns and the county budget goes to the compensation of personnel. That portion of employee compensation that is deferred, that is to be paid in the future (pensions and health care costs), must be properly disclosed and administered. Failure to do so can result in accumulation of debt to be paid in the future for past obligations. There are number of instances nationally and in California where runaway debt has adversely impacted the ability of governments to provide services.
The discussion around this issue involves the use of highly technical terminology. Our objective is to develop material to translate for the layperson's consumption the terminology using examples and/or in a glossary format.
Additionally, the Committee has been looking into what the appropriate role of the public is in providing input to the public employee labor wage negotiation process.
Both deferred compensation and role of public input in the labor wage negotiation process are expected to be subject of initiatives reaching the ballot for the November 2016 Presidential Election.
The Committee has heard from representatives of the Citizens For Sustainable Pension Plans, Marin County Employ Retirement Association and the Marin Association of Public Employees.
If you are a member interested in this topic we invite you to join the Committee. We meet in the LWVMC office on the first Friday every month for an hour beginning at 9:30 AM. You are welcome to join us. If you have any questions contact Scott McKown.

Glass takes photos and videos, sends text messages, engages in FaceTime-like Google Hangouts, makes phone calls, searches Google, and gets turn-by-turn navigation with maps.

If you love our eyewear but can't quite decide between your favorite pairs, we are offering you a chance to try on your selections in the comfort of your own home at no charge.

By Nick Carey
LA CROSSE Wis. (Reuters) - When Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker cut back on collective bargaining rights for public employees soon after taking office, the move prompted a 2012 recall election that he won - putting him on the not-very-short list of possible 2016 Republican presidential contenders.
But first, Walker must win re-election. And if Tuesday's primary vote comes in as expected, Democrat Mary Burke will be the opponent standing in his way.
Burke has surprised some observers by not emphasizing Act 10, the Walker-backed law that led to the recall push. Frequent sightings of bumper stickers with "Recall Walker" or "Stand with Walker" are a legacy of the political battles over the issue.
Burke says she supports having public-sector workers contribute more to pensions and healthcare, while arguing they should retain collective bargaining rights. Yet she does not emphasize the issue in her stump speech and explains she wants to move Wisconsin past it.
"There were a lot of people who did not feel that there had to be the divisiveness that tore our state apart," Burke said recently after touring a business center in the river city of La Crosse. "It became political and that's not in the best interests of the people of Wisconsin."
A former executive at Trek Bicycle, which her father founded, Burke declares herself a fiscal conservative. But she also takes stances - in favor of raising the minimum wage, overturning Walker's decision to refuse federal dollars for the expansion of Medicaid and opposing cuts to education - that make her popular with the Democratic rank-and-file.
"I don't care if they're Republican or Democratic ideas, let's choose the ones that are going to work and let's bring people together," Burke told Reuters.
Burke has also focused on Walker's inability to fulfill a promise to create 250,000 jobs in his first term. So far, there are fewer than 100,000 new jobs in Wisconsin under Walker, according to government data. Pundits note that at the current pace, it would take until Walker's third term to reach his goal.
Burke had a cautious start as a campaigner, but analysts now say she is showing savvy, staying focused on her message, just like her opponent.
"It could be that the Democrats have found their own Scott Walker," said Mordecai Lee, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.
The race is tight, with the last three polls effectively tied with less than three months until the election. In late May the non-partisan Cook Political Report moved the gubernatorial race in Wisconsin from "Lean Republican" to "Toss Up," with "a bit of a thumb on the scale for Walker."
Charles Franklin, director of the Marquette University Law School poll that also has shown the race up for grabs, said voters view Burke as a clean slate. "But it's an open question how she will fare against a skilled campaigner like Walker when the campaign heats up," he said.
Walker's campaign has so far sought to tie Burke to Walker's predecessor Jim Doyle, governor when Wisconsin struggled with budget deficits and unemployment peaking at 9.2 percent. Burke served as Democrat Doyle's commerce secretary from 2005 to 2007.
Voters will have "a clear choice between a record of job growth and balanced budgets under Governor Walker or a return to the large deficits and job losses Wisconsin suffered under Jim Doyle," said Walker spokesman Tom Evenson.
Walker is showing a pronounced fundraising advantage. His campaign through the end of July had raised $8.3 million this year, compared to $4.15 million for Burke. Walker has $7.6 million in cash on hand; Burke, just $1.7 million.
Among the undecided is Wyatt Hrudka, 24, who builds customized bicycles. After meeting Burke in La Crosse, Hrudka said he wants to know which candidate can most help his business grow.
"I'll make up my mind on this race when I see some details from both sides on how they can help entrepreneurs like me," Hrudka said.

RDF USA, the reality shop behind ABC hit "Wife Swap," has named Tony Yates chief operating officer and upped Wendy Roth to exec VP on the East Coast.
RDF Media has been looking to bolster its U.S. operations, earlier this year hiring tenpercenter Chris Coelen to serve as CEO (Daily Variety, Feb. 21) and former ABC exec Greg Goldman to serve as exec VP of current and development (Daily Variety, April 18).
Most recently a co-exec producer on "Supernanny," Yates will oversee the operation and production management of the company's assets. RDF's recent productions include the WB's "Survival of the Richest," VH1's "Gene Simmons' Rock School" and the TLC skeins "Junkyard Wars" and "Faking It."
Roth, who exec produces "Wife Swap," will now run the shingle's New York office, which is currently in production on the upcoming VH1 skein "Ice T's Rap School."
"Tony has the relationships to ensure that RDF will work with the best production talent in the business, and Wendy has done a brilliant job establishing 'Wife Swap' as a regular fixture in the ABC schedule as well as establishing our New York base," Coelen said.
Yates previously held senior positions at Miramax TV and LMNO Prods. Recent credits include "The Bachelor," "Project Greenlight" and "Beauty and the Geek."
Before RDF, Roth produced news and specials for "Good Morning America," "Turning Point" and "The Barbara Walters Specials." She also developed "The Runner" and R.J. Cutler series "American Candidate" and consulted on ESPN's "Dream Job." Before that, she was veep of Michael Davies' Diplomatic Prods.
