Garritan Classic Pipe organs
The 'King Of Instruments', sampled
Described by Mozart as "the king of instruments", the pipe organ isn't something that gets emulated in software too often. Garritan have multisampled six of the things and a total of 75 stop configurations to create Classic Pipe Organs.
Up to 16 stops can be loaded into the hosting Aria Player engine (now with convolution reverb) at once, enabling free mixing and matching of stops between organs (and any other Aria Player ROMs you might have installed) for huge hybrid sounds.
"The instruments themselves span 400 years of organ construction history, from a 1583 Renaissance to a 1966 American"
The instruments themselves span 400 years of organ construction history, from a 1583 Renaissance to a 1966 American. Weighing in at just 1.4GB, the hard drive footprint is relatively light, although you certainly wouldn't know it from the sound, which is nothing short of magnificent throughout.
The range of sounds covered is as expansive as six sampled pipe organs could ever be, and numerous UVI performance and sound-shaping options are on hand with which to extensively customise them. MIDI control options include Swell, Chiff and Blower Noise (volume control for 'chiff' and blower sample layers), Tremulant (tremolo, with variable rate and depth), Pedal Bass Fundamental (volume control for the longer pipe samples), and a set of Crescendo Pedals (for triggering progressive stacks of stops).
Garritan's Release Decay Technology uses release samples to emulate end-of-note pressure drops, while a sine wave oscillator can also be mixed in for precise frequency boosting. The Stereo Stage section offers a choice of mic configurations and front-back depth control.
Gary Garritan is incredibly passionate about pipe organs (as the historically detailed manual makes abundantly clear), and every ounce of that passion comes across in CPO. The power, intensity and tonal depth it displays are truly something to behold.
MusicRadar Rating
Brilliant sound. Expansive library of sounds. Relatively small install.
Short of actually booking yourself in for a session at your local church, this is as good as it gets.

We've created the ultimate affordable uniform trousers without compromising quality. These trousers are Teflon treated to resist stains and wrinkles for a lasting professional look. A hidden waistband stretches up to 2" to give you more comfort while moving.
LawPro Premium Polyester Cotton Comfort Waist Trousers feature:
I enjoy the flexibility of the waist band. Much better than the 100% poly trouser I use to wear at work. It also hold a nice crease.
They came apart at the waist band elastic at about the third wash but a little sewing and they're good as new. Had a problem with everything clinging to them at first also but that went away as they broke in. Very comfortable and nice deep pockets.
These are great pants. Just like the more expensive Elbeco I've worn for years, but more comfortable with the stretch waistband. Will buy many more of these.

News & Trends : Book Sales Forecast to Grow (Slightly)
The new "Book Industry Trends 2009" report suggests "flat is the new up," but moderate growth is on the horizon for the next two years.August 2009 By Matt Steinmetz
BISG has published the "Trends" report, which provides comprehensive statistical information and forecasts about the U.S. book market, for 30 years; the 2009 edition, developed in partnership with research firm Outsell Inc., is due out this summer.
BISG Executive Director Michael Healy provided a preview of the main unit and dollar sales figures in all the major U.S. book categories tracked in "Trends 2009" at BookExpo America (BEA) on May 29.
Notable conclusions Healy drew from the report included: "flat is the new up"; revenues are projected to grow 1.8 percent in 2009; and, by 2010, all categories should be in growth mode, even if it is only moderate growth.
The Numbers
Publishers earning more than $50 million per year accounted for $27.6 billion, or 68.5 percent, of all book publishing revenue, according to the report.
The adult (27 percent) and children's (9 percent) trade categories made up 36 percent of the industry's total sales, ahead of professional (22 percent), el-hi (18 percent), college (14 percent), religious (6 percent) and scholarly (4 percent).
Religious publishers experienced the biggest fall-off in 2008 versus 2007, with sales declining 10 percent. College and el-hi publishing both grew their categories by 4.5 percent to mark the largest increases among all categories.
"Trends 2009" also includes projections for the industry's total revenue and unit sales for 2009 and 2010. It forecasts a revenue increase of 1.8 percent from 2008 to 2009 and 2.4 percent from 2009 to 2010. Unit sales are projected to rise by 0.7 percent in 2009 and by another 2.2 percent in 2010.
Dissent Over Data
There were 130,477 active publishers in 2008, according to U.S. ISBN agency R.R. Bowker, a 27-percent increase over 2007. Most of this increase was within the $50 million per year or less small-publisher category, according to "Trends." This data has been questioned by some industry observers, however, including Publishers Marketplace's Michael Cader, who questions the "aggressive sales] estimates" for the small publishers category. His article following BEA in his Publishers Lunch e-newsletter, titled "The Problem with Statistics: BISG's New Method Still Inflates the Unknown," takes issue with the report's methodology.

METRO VANCOUVER -- A Burnaby man and his family are celebrating their dog's resilience after she was attacked by a pack of coyotes along a Burnaby Mountain trail on July 30.
The Linklaters' 18-month-old coonhound, Addy, was out for a run with Tim Linklater - something he's been doing with his dogs for years.
"I jog every day and my running partner is my dog," Linklater said. "There's a trail that we hit every second day ...that runs alongside (Kinder Morgan's) south fence."
While Linklater and Addy were running down the hill along the Burnaby Mountain trail, they came upon another jogger and dog. As Linklater approached, the other dog jumped back and, at first, he thought he'd startled it. After pausing for a moment to see if he'd scared the dog, he turned back to Addy, only to see her running after a coyote - the real reason the other dog had backed away.
"My dog got lured into this culvert and then that's when - on the other side (of the culvert) - the attack took place," he recounted.
Linklater and the other jogger stood outside the culvert trying to see what was happening or if Addy was going to run back out, but she didn't and after a couple of minutes he knew he had to do something if he was going to save his dog.
"I'm sitting there helpless. I knew something was going on and I knew it was a secured area so it wouldn't be another dog," he said.
Linklater ran back up the hill to the Kinder Morgan gate and called to the security guard to let him in. Together, the men ran over to where Addy had been cornered into a bush near the fence.
"Fortunately, she ran into the brush," he said.
Addy's defensive manoeuvre - one she learned while being chased by other dogs at the dog park - may have saved her life, Linklater added.
"I'm grateful because if she ran ... that's one of the coyotes common tactics, they'll run down their prey, and they'll pounce on them when it's tired," he said.
Addy was eventually coaxed out of her hiding spot and taken to a New Westminster veterinary clinic where she received emergency surgery to stitch up the bite marks on her back legs.
"She's doing OK now. She's limping; She's got her cone of shame on, her legs are all sewn up (and) it's two more weeks of healing," he said.
Later that day, Bob Love, from Kinder Morgan, contacted the Linklaters offering to pay for all the veterinary expenses, which came as quite the surprise, Linklater said.
"Wow, that helped, because my wife and kids were all upset ... and I'm in the dog house because we have a $900 vet bill and then Kinder Morgan graciously offered to pay," he said.
This isn't the first coyote encounter Linklater has had on his runs; often he sees coyotes sitting along the trail.
He's also noticed many missing dog and cat posters in the area, pets that may have been snatched up by the resident packs.
Conservation Officer Jack Trudgian agrees there's been a spike in the coyote population across the Lower Mainland and people should be careful when out enjoying the trails, especially because most coyotes still have their pups with them.
"It's not very often you hear of a pack of coyotes trying to get a bigger dog because they're very protective of themselves, they don't want to be injured," he said. "They could have been a family group."

News of Riverton, Lander and Fremont County, Wyoming, from the Ranger's award winning journalists.
Wisconsin man killed in wreck; two others hurt
Jun 13, 2013 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff Writer
A 19-year-old Wisconsin man died Wednesday evening at the scene of a two-vehicle accident between Lander and Hudson.
Wyoming Highway Patrol officials said the man was driving southbound on Wyoming Highway 789 with a 17-year-old female passenger, also from Wisconsin, when his red 1998 Ford Contour crossed three lanes of travel for unknown reasons and entered the northbound lane.
The passenger car reportedly side-swiped an oncoming 2009 Ford pickup truck driven by a 43-year-old Lander resident.
"Both vehicles left the road on the east side," WHP Lt. Tom Adams said Thursday. "The passenger car then struck a power pole and ejected both occupants, who were not wearing seatbelts."
The 19-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, and officials said he will be autopsied Friday in Loveland, Colo.
The 17-year-old girl and the Lander woman -- who reportedly had been wearing a seatbelt -- both were transported to Lander Regional Hospital. Adams said the younger patient was life-flighted to the Wyoming Medical Center in Casper soon afterward. He did not know the condition of either female.
Adams also wasn't sure why the Contour had drifted into the oncoming lane.
"We think we know, but our investigation is not complete yet," Adams said.
He couldn't say why the Wisconsin residents were in Wyoming. Adams doesn't think the teenagers have relatives in the area, and Coroner Ed McAuslan said officials still are working on "that part of the investigation."
At this time, Adams does not suspect that alcohol or drugs were involved in the crash, which left the highway's northbound lane closed while officials cleared the scene of debris.
The WHP has altered its policy regarding fatal accidents according to Adams, who said victims' names will not be released until at least 24 hours after a crash. He said the change was made out of respect for family members.
"A mother somewhere else in the state heard about her daughter's fatality on the radio," Adams said. "The father was notified, but the mother never was. So we're waiting 24 hours now whether the next of kin have been notified or not."

Norbert Tan goes from theater company to raising money for college foundation
Norbert Tan is director of the Ventura College Foundation. Before coming to Ventura, he was managing director at the Rubicon Theatre Company in Ventura.
Q: What makes a successful fundraiser?
A: Being a good listener. Finding out what folks are interested in. We're about students and education, but you can find out within that realm what people are interested in. We have folks who are re-entry students who want to help other re-entry students, folks who like particular programs.
You also have to listen for what they want out of it. They may want to meet the student who got the scholarship. Some people want recognition, but some want anonymity.
Following up is important because everyone's in different places in their lives — keeping in touch, telling stories of specific students, specific faculty members.
Q: You have a lot of interests. How did you choose to work at a college foundation?
A: Robin Calote (the president of Ventura College who is retiring in June) is a huge theater fan, so she knew me when I was at the Rubicon. She approached me about the job. I had no idea I'd be here.
Q: What are some of the challenges of this work?
A: I can tell stories all day long, but figuring out how to get the word out can be challenging. How do I get in the top three (priorities) of someone's giving portfolio? We're competing with 1,000 other nonprofits in this county.
Q: Is there a donor or a student who stands out to you — who represents the work you do?
A: I'd say Frances Calder. She passed away four or five years ago, but she had been giving to the school for 10 or 12 years. She grew up in the Midwest and couldn't go to college because her father couldn't pay the bus fare. She didn't want money to get in the way of anyone's education, and that's what motivated her to establish a scholarship. At her service, some of the young ladies who had been scholarship recipients spoke. It's that kind of impact — $500 may not seem like a lot of money, but for some of our students, it means they can get to school; they don't have to sign up for that third job.

Start managing your dreams instead of all the things banks and wallstreet tell you to manage. We believe that managing money should be simple. We believe that every single dime one makes should be spent with a purpose in mind...whether that purpose is to spend it on needs, wants or the future. Budgeting is not about bar graphs, pie charts, or arbitrary seperations of our money. Download Simple Budget, try it for free, buy it if you like it.
2/22/2013Great app but needs password pin on open for privacy.
11/30/2012Really simple interface to use. It makes tracking my day to day spending easy. It is quicker to get going than the bank apps. The export feature allows you to easily balance between statements and the app using your computer. A real must buy app!!
2/9/2012Fantastic app! I save so much money bc its so easy to budget now!!!
12/14/2011Nice and simple budgeting app. The developer seems to be really cool and is hungry for feedback. The only feature that is missing for me is a way to show that transactions have cleared my bank account. The developer assured me that it will be added in an update. Very awesome to email a developer and get a response on the same day. Good job! :-)
11/8/2011Still very slow load times when on my Focus S. Needs Mango update.
11/1/2011Simple budget is just a little too complicated
10/28/2011This app is awesome. I hate using a normal checkbook register and usually forget to make entries, bit I ALWAYS have my phone with me. I ESPECIALLY Love being able to generate and export a monthly report to my computer so I can print a copy for my files. If only all apps were this amazing.
10/24/2011If everyone that created an app gave such attention that this one receives windows apps would all be amazing. This app is great. Thank you for the dedication. This app continues to perform great. I love it. I am tracking ny savings and managing accounts. I manage my spending better than I ever have had at any other time in my life. I even added 100 points to my credit score! If you can complain about this app you are probably one those that cannot be satisfied. This app is great.
10/14/2011Good app!
6/8/2011Wish it held more than one account. Would like to be able to see all of my checking accounts and its history on here. Would also like to see a current balance and memo balance, I would like to be able to check off cleared items.

The Premier League produces some of the best goals in the world and Ransacker has decided to celebrate that fact by bringing you a new weekly feature – Our goal of the week boot. Each week we will choose what we consider to be the best goal scored in the Premier League and discuss the boot that did the damage.
This week's winner was the superb volley by Sunderland's Sebastian Larsson to equalise against Liverpool at Anfield. Larsson signed for Sunderland from Birmingham in the summer and wasted no time in endearing himself to the Mackem fans. The midfielder met a Ahmed Elmohamady cross with a perfectly timed scissor-kick volley that flew past Reina and into the right hand corner of the net. Not a bad way to start life at your new club!
The midfielder produced Ransacker's goal of the week while wearing a pair of Nike CTR360 Maestri II Elite – Black/White/Red boots. The football boots are part of Nike's Control range and feature Kanga-lite synthetic leather for the ultimate comfort, support and touch.
The Nike CTR360 Maestri II also feature front-foot dampening pads that Nike say provide the ultimate first touch control. The boots also include a soft TPU receiving pad with raised 3D fins that help to reduce ball bounce and increase passing accuracy.
The Nike CTR360 Maestri II Elite – Black/White/Red boots had a very successful first weekend, as Wolves Stephen Ward was also wearing the boots when smashing in the winning goal against Blackburn at Ewood Park. The Wolves defender hit a sweet half-volley from 20-yards to give Mick McCarthy's men all three points.
You can pick up a pair of Nike CTR360 Maestri II Elite football boots for £168.74 by clicking here. For a cheaper option, why not try the original Nike CTR360 Maestri Elite for just £94.99 by clicking here.

Washington Watch, December 2012
Senate Dear Colleague Letter Supports a Funding Solution for LWCF
Funding Opportunity Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund announced
U.S. Department of Transportation releases guidance for programs within MAP-21
Groups Urge Passage of Farm Bill
Tax Outlook for 2013 Still Uncertain
Senate Dear Colleague Letter Supports a Funding Solution for LWCF
As Congress continues to meet in a "lame duck" session following the November 6 elections, 49 Senators have written to Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) demonstrating their support for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF). LWCF provides funding for federal land acquisition, protection of working forests through the Forest Legacy Program, protection of habitat for endangered species, protection of historic American battlefields, and grants to states for outdoor recreation.
The letter urges the Senate to consider a legislative solution before the end of the session to ensure that LWCF receives dedicated and consistent funding. Read letter (PDF).
The leaders of the bipartisan letter were U.S. Senators Max Baucus (D-MT) and Richard Burr (R-NC). In addition to the two sponsors of the letter, 47 of their colleagues signed on to the letter. The signers represent a total of 33 states and included 40 Democrat, 7 Republicans, and 1 Independent.
Legislation is needed to ensure the continuation of the Land and Water Conservation Fund and to provide a dedicated funding stream for the program in accordance with the intent of Congress when LWCF was established in 1964.
Funding Opportunity Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund announced
On October 25, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released the request for proposals (RFP) for the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund (CESCF or Section 6) for FY 2013. The announcement and RFP are available here.
The final amount of funding available for CESCF in FY 2013 is undetermined. Congress enacted a six-month continuing resolution (CR) for federal programs for the first half of FY 2013, sometime during the early months of 2013. It is expected that Congress will complete an appropriations bill providing for the full fiscal year. The CR essentially held funding levels to the amounts provided in FY 2012. In FY 2012 CESCF received $47.757 million.
The final deadline for proposals to USFWS is January 14, 2013. However, states have deadlines of their own in advance. Nonprofit organizations like The Trust for Public Land may partner with states, but the states are the ultimate applicants to the USFWS. CESCF requires a minimum 25% nonfederal match for projects.
Two component programs are available for land acquisition projects:
- The Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) Land Acquisition program provides funds to complement habitat mitigation requirements within an approved HCP area. This program received about $15 million in FY 2012. The competition for this program is held at the national level. As in FY 2012, about 10% of HCP funds will be targeted for single-species projects.
- The Recovery Land Acquisition (RLA) Program provides funds to implement recovery plans for listed species. This program received about $8.5 million in FY 2012. The competition for this program is held at the regional level with the national USFWS office determining how much money will be apportioned to the regions.
U.S. Department of Transportation releases guidance for programs within MAP-21, the new two-year federal transportation reauthorization
The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) have released initial guidance documents to the states, interested partners, and the public for the surface transportation programs created under MAP-21. Signed into law by President Obama in July, MAP-21 is the new two-year transportation reauthorization that provides funding for federal programs in FY 2013 and FY 2014. The guidance documents, as well as links to public outreach presentations by USDOT officials on various programs, are available here.
Guidance is available for the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) - which combined and replaced the Transportation Enhancements (TE), Safe Routes to School, and Recreational Trails programs - and the Federal Land Access Program (FLAP) - which is similar to the previous Public Lands Highways program.
The guidance documents outline the legislative requirements of the programs, provide information on eligible activities and applicants, and begin to discuss the rules and procedures of the programs as they are implemented by USDOT and the states. In general, states will play a larger role in determining the distribution of federal transportation dollars from programs to projects.
Groups Urge Passage of Farm Bill
The Farm Bill expired on September 30, 2012. As a result, the NRCS will not accept new enrollments under the Wetland Reserve or Grasslands Reserve programs until the law is extended. However, NRCS will continue to accept applications for new enrollments under the Farm and Ranchland Protection Program.
There is some discussion in Congress of the possibility of an extension of current law which would give time for Farm Bill negotiators to reach an agreement on a longer term bill. The Trust for Public Land recently joined a coalition of more than 230 groups to urge Congress to pass a new five-year Farm Bill during the "lame-duck" session. The new bill would likely resemble the draft legislation moving in the House and Senate.
Senate: On June 21st, the Senate approved, by a vote of 64-35, that chamber's version of the Farm Bill. The Senate-passed bill merges three NRCS easement programs: Farm & Ranchland Protection Program, Grassland Reserve Program, and Wetland Reserve Program. The three would form a new "Agricultural Conservation Easement Program" (ACEP). ACEP would have two branches: (1) Wetland Easements Program (essentially a continuation of the Wetlands Reserve Program) and (2) Agricultural Land Easements (which would encompass FRPP & GRP). ACEP would be funded at $2.2 billion over federal fiscal years 2013 through 2017. Under the new program the Agricultural Land Easements would receive at least 40% of funding from ACEP.
House: On July 12th, the Agriculture Committee of the House of Representatives passed its version of the Farm Bill. The House committee's proposal included virtually identical language establishing ACEP. The full House of Representatives has not yet taken up the Committee-passed bill.
Also of note, NRCS Chief Dave White retired from the agency on December 3rd. Jason Weller, White's Chief of Staff, is taking over the NRCS Chief position. Mr. Weller has been actively involved in the agency's Gulf of Mexico Initiative (GOMI) and the USDA/FWS Working Lands for Wildlife (WLW) program. GOMI provides aid to landowners in the five Gulf Coast states to restore water quality throughout the region. WLW is designed to assist landowners in protecting habitat for target species, including several which are either currently listed as threatened or endangered or are candidate species. These species include greater sage grouse, lesser prairie chicken, Southwestern willow flycatcher, New England cottontail, gopher tortoise, bog turtle, and golden-winged warbler.
Tax Outlook for 2013 Still Uncertain
One of the major issues still facing Congress is tax policy for 2013 and beyond. While the expiration of the Bush tax cuts and what to do about it have wide-ranging implications, there are some provisions that have particular impacts on the conservation community.
Among a host of provisions that have already expired is the conservation tax incentive. Normally packaged with other popular tax benefits, such as the research and development tax credit, the enhanced deduction for the contribution of conservation easements has been extended a number of times. Having expired at the end of 2011, this incentive would have to be extended retroactively in order to benefit landowners who donated easements during 2012. Any tax legislation that is passed as part of a budget deficit deal is likely to include tax "extenders," and the conservation tax incentive could be part of such a package.
At the same time there is much discussion about simplifying the tax code and possibly putting a cap on deductions. A multitude of ideas are being discussed in the press, and the potential for a cap on deductions has gotten a lot of attention from the nonprofit community. Capping deductions would have a depressing effect on charitable donations, and The Trust for Public Land has joined with other charities to oppose such a cap. Read statement here.
Landowners considering a conservation sale may also be influenced in varying degrees by projected increases in the capital gains tax rate as well as overall tax rates for wealthier Americans. The estate tax too is slated to increase significantly unless Congress acts. The outlook should become clearer in the next few weeks, although Congress and the Obama Administration could decide on a short-term fix with the intention of dealing with these very complex issues next year. This would be disappointing to anxious taxpayers, but it is within the realm of possibility.

UT Men's Tennis Travels to the Sunshine State For Three Matches
TOLEDO, OH - The Toledo men's tennis team will play its first outdoor match on Sunday as the Rockets take on NAIA member Embry-Riddle in Daytona Beach, FL. The following day, Toledo will travel to Boca Raton, FL to face off against Florida Atlantic.
"Sunday we're playing one of the perennial top 5 NAIA programs in the country in Embry-Riddle," head coach Al Wermer said. "Then Monday will be another huge challenge at FAU's home venue. We'll need to focus on playing within ourselves and being smart this week outside."
The Rockets (5-10) split their last two matches against IUPUI and Butler.
In its match against Butler, Toledo hung tough in doubles play, but lost all three matches. Sophomore Garrett Cona and freshman Stjepan Sisko fell 8-6 in the No. 1 spot, juniors Mark Singnil and Nicky Wong lost 8-7 in No. 2, and junior Roberto Meza and freshman Boris Pak fell 8-7 as well in the No. 3 slot.
The Rockets bounced back in singles play, as all they took home wins in all three of the top spots.
Singnil improved his singles winning streak to eight matches, winning 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in No. 1 singles, while Sisko won 2-6, 6-1, 6-2 in the No. 2 spot and Wong defeated his opponent 6-4, 6-2 in No. 3 singles.
In their second match of the day, the Rockets overwhelmed the Jaguars, winning 6-1 and scoring a victory in all but two matches.
Both the No. 1 and No. 2 doubles teams bounced back from losses earlier in the day to win against IUPUI as Cona and Sisko won 8-5 and Singnil and Wong won 8-4. Meza and Pak were up 7-6 when their match was called.
Singnil once again won in singles play, upping his streak to nine consecutive wins, while Sisko and Wong also earned their second wins of the day in No. 2 and No. 3 singles, respectively.
Cona was taken to a third set, before defeating his opponent by the score of 6-4, 4-6, 10-8. Pak also earned a win in No. 6 singles, in a three set 2-6, 6-1, 6-4 victory.
Singnil's stellar play earned him his third Mid-American Conference Men's Tennis Player of the Week honors.
The Rockets will have one more match in Boca Raton on Wednesday against Xavier before returning home for home matches in the Glass City on Friday, March 14 and Saturday, March 15.

by John J. Pitney, Jr.
Assistant Professor of Government at Claremont McKenna College
Policy Insights Number 608, May 1994
Voters should have the option of picking "none of the above," or NOTA. Since 1976, Nevada has had a non-binding NOTA, which has often drawn a large share of the vote. Other states should consider a stronger measure, whereby a plurality or majority vote for NOTA would trigger a special election for the office in question, with the candidates who lost to NOTA ineligible to appear on the ballot. NOTA would hardly cure all the problems of contemporary American democracy, bur it would give voters a better alternative to the bad choices they often find in the polling booth.
In Federalist 10, James Madison voiced his hope that American elections would feature candidates "who possess the most attractive merit, and the most diffusive and established characters." When he wrote those words, government was simple, elected offices were few, and the roster of potential candidates was rich with such greats as George Washington, John Adams, and George Mason. Because of the growth of government at all levels, the total number of elected offices has since risen to 497,000---but not all 497,000 elections give voters a choice among candidates of George Washington's caliber. When voters elect members of Congress, state legislators or town councilors, they must often choose from the unworthy, the unknown, or the unopposed.
The Unworthy. Perhaps the worst major election in recent history came in 1991, when the Louisiana governor's race pitted the sometimes-Klansman David Duke against the ethically-challenged Edwin Edwards, a contest that wags dubbed "the wizard versus the lizard." Other elections have included crooks, crackpots, and an occasional corpse. As a teenage campaign worker, I once solicited votes for our local sheriff, who had passed away just after the board of elections had printed the ballots. (He won, thereby allowing the governor to appoint his successor for the full length of his term.) A more common and subtle problem is a race whose contenders are superficially qualified and politically slick, but lack any genuine principle or intimate connection with the people they seek to serve. The "new breed" of poll-driven politicians are neither wizards nor lizards but soulless mediocrities reminiscent of the "pod people" in "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." Voters sense something wrong, but they cannot quite put their finger on it.
The Unknown. Voters know little about their U.S. senators and House members and even less about the holders of offices such as state comptroller or county treasurer. Although it is fashionable to fault voter inattention, much of the blame belongs to the officials themselves. When they can bank on incumbency or party label to carry them through, they have a strong incentive to keep the electorate in the dark about their beliefs and qualifications. So-called "stealth candidacies," often associated with ideological groups, are actually commonplace among political hacks running for down-ballot offices. And among incumbents at all levels, a favorite strategy is to use the position and perks of office to discourage strong challengers from entering the race. When the discouragement strategy succeeds, incumbents end up with opponents who cannot raise money and lack credibility with the local news media. Voters must then choose between little-known office-holders and utterly unknown challengers.
The Unopposed. In 1988, eighty-one candidates for the U.S. House had no major party opposition, and dozens of these did not even have minor-party challengers. The number of unopposed candidates was lower in the next two congressional elections, but uncontested races remained rife at the state and local levels, particularly in areas where one party is dominant. True, in one-party areas, there may sometimes be strong competition in primary elections, but that is cold comfort to voters who are not enrolled in the party and thus cannot take part in the real contest.
Faced with the unworthy, the unknown, or the unopposed, what can voters do? Under current procedures, they have three unappealing options.
First, they can hold their nose and pick from whatever they see on the ballot. This course can result in rude surprises. In the 1986 Democratic primary for Illinois lieutenant governor and secretary of state, voters wanted to reject the party regulars, so they opted for obscure challengers---who turned out to be disciples of the extremist Lyndon LaRouche.
Second, voters can write in a name, knowing that if their vote gets tallied at all, it will come under the heading "void and scattering."
Third, they can either skip the particular race or abstain from voting altogether. Although non-voting has its advocates, it is a poor method to register protest; after all, the ancient maxim holds that silence betokens consent.
NOTA would be a better alternative. Whenever the names on the ballot are clearly unacceptable, it would offer a way of starting over with new candidates. It would also serve as a safety mechanism in cases where candidates died or sustained a felony conviction shortly before election day. It would certainly be more prudent than voting for a random name on the ballot; unknown choices are fine for "Let's Make a Deal" but could have disastrous consequences in public office.
NOTA would secure the right to say no. If free government is really based on the consent of the governed, it follows that the people should have a clear way of withholding consent from the unworthy, the unknown, or the unopposed.
NOTA would change politicians' behavior. In places without true electoral competition, political elites currently act with impunity in nominating poor candidates; this is one reason why many major cities have such abysmal government. With NOTA, however, even unopposed candidates could lose if the voters deemed them unworthy. The prospect of such a defeat might discourage bottom-feeders from seeking office, and would give party leaders an incentive to consider merit when making campaign endorsements.
In races where NOTA did not carry a plurality, it could still have a healthy impact. If previously unopposed incumbents suddenly started losing twenty or thirty percent of the vote to NOTA, they would be foolish not to reexamine what they were doing wrong. A large NOTA vote would serve as an unmistakable sign of incumbent vulnerability, thereby drawing strong challengers into the next race.
NOTA would foster cleaner campaigns. Granted, candidates have the right and the duty to expose the flaws in their opposition's public record. But they also have the obligation to tell the truth and spell out their own stands. Too many campaigns neglect this obligation and, instead, focus on driving up the opposition's negative poll ratings---by smear, if necessary. NOTA would confront attackers with a different balance sheet. It would not be enough to turn voters against the opposition, since this strategy would merely increase the vote for "none of the above." Rather, candidates would have to give the electorate a reason to vote for them, not just against the other side.
Some people object to this reform because it would cost money to hold new elections every time NOTA won. Although the cost of running elections makes up only a tiny fraction of state and local outlays, lawmakers have to be careful with even the smallest expenditures. Nevertheless, NOTA would still be a good deal. In some cases, at least, it would help prevent the election of unscrupulous and unqualified candidates who would waste public money and make government less efficient.
Some worry about administration of the special elections. Who would choose the new candidates? And could NOTA keep winning successive rounds of special elections? States might try a variety of answers to such questions. For instance, the law could provide that when a party's nominee is disqualified by a loss to NOTA, the nomination would then go to the person who placed second in the party primary. Alternatively, parties could hold special conventions for the selection of the new nominees. And to prevent an endless chain of balloting, the law could specify that NOTA appear only on regular ballots, not in the special elections triggered by NOTA victories.
In any case, these special elections would probably be rare. Politicians would fear the ultimate humiliation of losing to "none of the above," and they would presumably do everything in their power to avoid such a defeat. They might even go so far as to run good candidates and talk about the issues. Like a paddle on a schoolroom wall, NOTA would realize its greatest value not when it actually came into play, bur when its mere presence brought about good behavior.
Finally, some argue that NOTA would diminish respect for the political system by giving voters an easy way to shirk hard choices. This objection lacks merit. If there is anything that diminishes respect for politics, it is a ballot filled with the unworthy, the unknown, and the unopposed. And if Americans want to shirk political choices, it is much easier for them to stay home than to go to the polls and vote for "none of the above." Instead of undermining our system, such an option would give voters another way to carry on the work of democracy.
Voters For "None of the Above"

Hi all
This has me scared and excited at the same time.
Last week I had one woolly worm trying to come inside and found another one in my kitchen.
I haven't even seen a woolly worm since 2002.
The winter of 2002/2003 was a bad one for my area.
Early Dec. we had major ice storm,in 2003 24" of snow, and and another icing.
I'm not saying it will be a bad winter.
I'll wait and see if woolly worms do have something to do with Predicting Weather.
Laura in NC
According to legend, the less orange/brown and the more black the worse the winter will be. So far here in WS, except for the very 1st one we saw, all of them have been 2/3rd's brown with only black heads. :(
Hi both of mine were twins.
They hand black heads brown middles and black ends. Mostly brown. The web says there are 13 bands. So mine looks to have 3 black 8 brown and 2 black. We'll see.

'Star Trek Into Darkness' named worst 'Star Trek' movie by fans
"Star Trek Into Darkness" may have been a critical hit, but longtime fans of the "Star Trek" franchise are crying foul. The hardest of hardcore Trekkies gathered in Las Vegas for the annual Creation Star Trek convention Saturday (August 10) to decide which "Trek" movies were the best, and which were the worst. Unfortunately for director J.J. Abrams, his latest entry into the franchise didn't fare too well.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" somehow came in at number 13 in a franchise that consists of 12 movies. You read that right. According to Badass Digest, the 1999 comedy "Galaxy Quest" made the list at number 7. The movie is about the stars of a "Star Trek" like TV show being thrust into a real-world space battle, to pretty funny results.
Abrams' other "Trek" movie, the 2009 reboot "Star Trek," wasn't as ill-received as "Into Darkness," landing at number 6. Of course, the fans voted "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" as the best film in the franchise. That might also be one of the reasons "Into Darkness" was met with so much anger by fans, as Abrams attempted to recreate something they already deemed perfect.
The full list is below, sound off in the comments if you agree or disagree:
1. "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"
2. "Star Trek: First Contact"
3. "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"
4. "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"
5. "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock"
6. "Star Trek" (reboot)
7. "Galaxy Quest" (not a "Star Trek" movie)
8. "Star Trek Generations"
9. "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"
10. "Star Trek Nemesis"
11. "Star Trek Insurrection"
12. "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"
13. "Star Trek Into Darkness"

I'd not heard of Fred until hearing "I like Trains" on satellite. Ordered this CD and immediately ordered another collection of his music "Lipstick & Gasoline".Published 22 months ago by M. Phillips
I think "Wilder Than Her" is just about the bitchinest song ever written and Fred sings it like he's been therePublished on February 21, 2013 by Cliff McGuire

The baseball players' union concluded Melky Cabrera's agents didn't know about a scheme to create a phony web site in a defense of his positive drug test but said they failed to properly manage the employees of the firm who tried to carry out the scheme. Brothers Sam and Seth Levinson, the heads of ACES Inc., were probed by the Major League Baseball Players Association after MLB's investigations department discovered the attempt to concoct evidence. Cabrera, the San Francisco Giants outfielder who was the MVP of the All-Star game, was suspended 50 games in August after testing positive for testosterone. ''After a thorough investigation, we concluded none of the ACES principals were involved in or had knowledge of the Cabrera scheme,'' union head Michael Weiner said Tuesday from Los Angeles, where he was attending agents' meetings. ''We also concluded there was an issue with supervision of employees.'' Weiner said action had been taken against the Levinsons, but would not be more ...

In response to media reports on the discovery of poisonous mushrooms at some parks managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), the department gave the following response today (September 8):
The LCSD staff found and removed a small quantity of small mushrooms in Lok Fu Park and Kowloon Tsai Park today. The department would step up inspection at its parks and remove any mushroom as soon as possible when found.
As some of the mushrooms may be poisonous and inedible, the LCSD appealed to the public not to pick mushrooms if found. The department has put up notices at parks to remind visitors not to pick plants.

A bowl-game victory in December? Nice. A 9-win season, the first since 2001? Even better. But the biggest reason Husky nation is excited about the upcoming football season is the arrival of Chris Petersen as the new head coach. Petersen brings an eye-opening winning record (92-12) and snazzy offense to Seattle from Boise State, where he turned the Broncos from a curiosity playing on blue turf to a national power. Your first chance to see Coach Pete in purple is at the Husky Spring Game April 19 at Husky Stadium. Prepare to be dazzled.

Specialist Study - Dissertation
The dissertation is worth 40% of your overall award—so it's important to take it very seriously.
Authors, texts and topics that are central to your work in one component of course assessment (for example, Literary Study) may not be used in any other component of course assessment (for example, your Specialist Study Dissertation). You will be required to record your Specialist Study Dissertation texts and topic on your answer booklet.
You have to make an independent study of and produce a dissertation on an aspect or aspects of language or literature or media or some combination of these.
The first stage in the process is the selection of texts or topics and the formulation of a brief descriptive statement of what you propose to study. This proposal must be approved by your teacher or lecturer in order to ensure that the materials are appropriate to an English course and worthy of study at this level and that the study itself is manageable. Your study should explore a limited area and examine it in detail with lots of appropriate supporting evidence.
It should be noted that texts and topics:
- must be personally selected by you (under the guidance of your teacher or lecturer)
- must be accepted by your centre as suitable choices
- must not be the subject of teaching in this unit
- must not be the subject of teaching or assessment in other units of the Advanced Higher English course or in the units of other courses.
You should select a topic that will enable you to offer a full exposition and discussion of a particular aspect your chosen field of study. For example, a literary theme might be pursued through the works of a single author, or works of several authors, or over a historical period; a language topic might focus on language acquisition, the dialect of a specific locality, the language of specialist groups; a media topic might be related to the study of language or of literature.
Studies of the works of a single author or single works by two or more authors should avoid a serial treatment in which each work is left isolated from the other(s). Studies that involve the collection and analysis of data and information should be presented in discursive form.
Clearly, production of the dissertation will vary from candidate to candidate and from centre to centre.
In most cases, however, your teacher or lecturer will:
- brief you on the nature of the task at the outset
- illustrate the wide range of texts and topics available
- discuss with you your relevant individual and personal interests
- guide you towards consultation with librarians or other teachers/lecturers and towards use of databanks
- you practical help with final choice and location of texts and with the wording of topics and titles
- provide regular opportunities for consultation and support
- make clear to you the procedures that must apply in order to meet deadlines and evidence requirements
- record your progress at different stages in the production of the dissertation in order to ensure the authenticity of your work.
You should:
- write, type or word-process the dissertation on one side of A4 paper only
- use italics or underlining to indicate titles of texts
- set in from the margin all quotations of more than one line so that they are clearly distinguishable from the text of the dissertation
- use footnotes and page references where appropriate to identify quotations from and references to primary sources
- use footnotes and page references at all times to identify and acknowledge quotations from, references to and information/ideas gleaned from secondary sources
- provide an accurate bibliography
- give footnote and bibliography references in the following form:
D.Gifford and D. McMillan, A History of Scottish Women's Writing, EUP, 1997.
Advice on the presentation of your dissertation
Title page
- your centre name
- your centre number
- your name
- your candidate number
- your title/topic/texts.
- each page should be numbered, including the title page and the bibliography
- each page should be single-sided
- each page should be typed in single line spacing
- the font used should be Times New Roman
- the font size should be 12 point
- your text should be left-justified
- titles of texts - novels, plays, poems, critical or reference works - should be in italics, without quotation marks
- quotations, unless only a few words long (when quotation marks should be used), should be preceded and followed by a double line space.
Citing references in the body of your dissertation
- The first reference to a text cited or quoted from should be given in full as follows:
- Bennett, Joan, Four Metaphysical Poets, (London, 1953), p23.
- The normal convention for subsequent references is: Bennett, p47.
- It is acceptable to abbreviate lengthy titles in footnotes or textual references. For example: All's Well That Ends Well can become AWTEW.
- Simple references, such as line numbers or page references of quotations from a book or a play or a poem already cited in full, can usually be incorporated in the text, normally in parentheses after quotations.
- Internet sources should be referred to thus:
- Crowley, J, New York Times (1985), Review of Lanark. Available: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~crumey/gray1.html
Listing sources in your bibilography
- Make separate lists of primary texts (those chosen for study) and secondary sources (critical or reference works, periodicals, Web documents).
- List sources in alphabetical order, according to the author's surname.
The dissertation you produce must be between 3500 and 4500 words in length, including quotations but excluding footnotes and bibliography. You should note that, in order to achieve consistency in this area, any dissertation that falls outwith these limits of length will not be accepted. You must indicate on the dissertation flyleaf the actual number of words used.
While you should of course consult secondary sources, you must be careful not to rely on them excessively and you must never copy them without acknowledgement. Always remember that to plagiarise is to cheat—and this could lead to your disqualification from any award. Markers are instructed to report all instances where plagiarism is suspected for further investigation (so be warned!).

Jodhpur Architecture : Chandan Dubey explores the city of cyan
Blue mirrored in the ocean and seas—tranquility and moods. In India, it is the very colour of the Gods themselves. Probably why houses in the old quarter of Jodhpur, Rajasthan, are painted in various washes of blue. Resulting from the addition of copper sulphate to lime, the colour gives the old city its unique identity. Various explanations are proffered for the practice—it provides cooling shelter from the desert heat of Rajasthan, offers insecticidal protection against termites and rodents, it is the colour of lord Krishna, or that it represents high class Brahmin houses. Whatever the reason, over time, most of the city has embraced the colour. There are even blue mosques in the heart of the city.
Jodhpur architecture: Walking on the ramparts of the stately Mehrangarh fort, I catch my first glimpse of the blue. Awakened by the first rays of the sun, the old quarter of the city emerges from a winter-morning haze, its squat, flat-roofed houses huddling astride snake-like alleys in a vibrant maze as far as the eye can see. It is a spectacular sight. As an outsider, painting my house or`doing it up' is also fundamentally about making a statement about individuality and taste. I wonder what motivated an entire population to homogenise and structure the look of neighbourhoods.
As I head down towards the city on a paved pathway skirting around the fort towards Suraj pol (Sun gate), I make a mental note to ask a few people in the city later. The morning light intensifies, playing games with layers of colourwash, one on top of another, year on year. I have never seen such rich texture up close. The man made— in wood, stone, bricks, plaster and clay—transformed continuously over time. The pigments alter with the years. Materials warp and crack. The actual substance of the lime wash changes visibly. Successive coats of wash react in different ways eventually transforming a flat surface into interesting compositions.
There is a seemingly limitless range of different blues here—from light baby blue to rich shades of lapis lazuli and turquoise, a darker indigo turning to startling cobalt—every shade conceivable.
The blue kaleidoscope is punctuated with flashes of vibrant colours every now and then. Hot pinks and yellows in turbans and flowing skirts. Sharp greens and purples on windows and bright oranges built into wall recesses, and then a little later, a basket of ripe tomatoes and fresh pink lotuses at street side stalls. The entire drama is played out within a wider canvas of earth and brown represented by the Mehrangarh fort, which is behind me now.
Walking past blue temples with bright orange Ganeshas, blue schoolhouses and grocery shops, I wander, lost in a surreal trance.
I climb narrow precarious flights of stairs and descend into alleys on impulse. Stopping for a breath every now and then, ducking balls flying off bats of cricket-playing schoolboys, watching out for the sewage flowing in narrow open drains on the sides of the street. Here, the streets are too narrow to allow motorised traffic, but there is no stopping the cows— large, pointy-horned beasts occupying the street, completely at ease with their surroundings.
I am distracted out of the stupor as an inquisitiveness to look at the city from within strikes. Mustering enough courage, I knock at a random door, which opens to a family going through their early morning chores in an open-to-sky courtyard. The matriarch of the household promptly ushers me in. A low-strung seat is offered and cups of sweet cardamom-flavoured tea materialise.
I accept their hospitality a little awkwardly. The blue from the outside has seeped inside too. Hindu Gods and Goddesses smile and offer psychedelic benedictions from framed calendars encased in brightly coloured acrylic frames hanging on walls. Other colours—soft pinks and greens— also adorn rooms and ceilings. None of the colours look like planned after a strict scheme, yet nothing clashes. No tone too garish or jarring set against another. Somehow in the past hour itself I have learnt to accept the most startling colour in the most unusual of places.
In this house, as elsewhere in Rajasthan, nobody bats an eyelid as a lone Nikon-wielding woman knocks on their door first thing in the morning. The talk is friendly and only mildly inquisitive "am I married?'", "how did my husband allow me to travel all by myself?''. Ah, the city is used to tourists all right but not the 'Indian woman all by herself' variety, perhaps. I am like them, one of them. Surely I understand the codes that tie the women folk? Friendly advice, travel and safety related, follow very quickly albeit without any disapproval or judgment.
I excuse myself in a bit and climb up to the roof for a better view of the neighbourhood. The kitchen of the small house visible through a wrought iron mesh on the roof reveals large earthenware pots stacked neatly in the corner. Inside the family room, a television set enjoys a commanding position, while an invisible radio blares the latest Bollywood music from somewhere. The interiors are frugal, function clearly dominating form. On the roof, I find a discarded green chair stripped of paint, sitting against a flashy wall. A few quick shots later, I thank the family for their hospitality and set out in my search for some more blue.
As for my question. Why the blue? So much blue? Everything blue? Nobody seems to have any answers. It is just so.

Vendor Information
In accordance with California Government Code 11135, the California State University (CSU) requires all electronic and information technology (E&IT) products and services acquired by campuses, including Cal Poly, to be reviewed for compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and related standards.
Required Documentation
To determine a product's compliance, vendors are required to complete a Voluntary Product Evaluation Template VPAT (Word) in accordance with the CSU Product Accessibility Documentation Guidelines (Word) and the CSU Guide to Completing the VPAT. Vendors should consult those guides and this chart to help determine which VPAT sections must be completed for their particular E&IT product or service.
NOTE: The Summary Table, Sections 1194.31 and 1194.41 must be completed for all E&IT products and services. Completion of both Sections 1194.21 and 1194.22 is required for Web-based applications.
The United States Access Board website provides an overview of the Section 508 standards against which products are evaluated as well as more detailed explanations.
Links to other resources are listed below, including samples of good and bad VPATs and links to VPATs and compliance documentation published online by major vendors of E&IT products and services.
The VPAT must be completed and signed by a company representative with sufficient technical knowledge of the E&IT product or service being purchased. Typically, this will be someone involved in the product development. Whenever possible, the VPAT should be completed by the manufacturer(s).
Completed VPATs are to be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com for review and approval by Cal Poly's E&IT Campus Compliance Officer. Vendors will be contacted if there are questions or concerns or additional information is required. If an exception is granted because a product is not fully compliant, vendors may be asked to provide a statement, roadmap or timeline to improve accessibility.
Web Development Contracts
Vendors developing websites on behalf of Cal Poly must complete a manual review worksheet to document a site's compliance with campus accessibility and identity requirements. Please refer to Cal Poly's Web Authoring Resource Center and Process Compliance Guide for details.
Testing and Evaluation
Cal Poly reserves the right to perform testing on a product or solution in order to validate vendor claims about Section 508 compliance. To facilitate such testing, vendors may be asked to provide a test version or to conduct a product demonstration. Vendors will be notified if additional testing is required.
Problem Resolution and Future Review
California law requires vendors to respond to and resolve any complaint regarding accessibility of their E&IT products or services. All vendors must provide the contact information for a person who will address questions and issues regarding the accessibility of their product and services in the future.
Updated VPATs or other documentation may be requested in the future, especially if an exception has been granted or when a product is being renewed or upgraded and has undergone significant changes.
Examples of Completed VPATs
- Sample Good VPAT (Word) as developed by CSU Sacramento
- Sample Bad VPAT (Word) as developed by CSU Sacramento

Here we are and here we go, the highlight of the racing year for many punters the world over, four whole days of top quality racing from Cheltenham in deepest darkest Gloucestershire, where fortunes will be made and lost, massive bets will be struck, heroes will rise and heroes will fall, but a great time will be had by all (and No, that wasn't supposed to rhyme).
Seven races would be tough on the wallet so I will not look to find the winners of all of them but try to balance the sensible side of my nature to find winners and value of there is any left to find by now of course.
Starting with the glaringly obvious I cannot help but go for Sprinter Sacre in the Arkle as I have been tipping and backing him for the race since last march, when he was third in the Supreme Novices' Hurdle, looking as if he faded late on. His critics have jumped on that to question his stamina up the infamous Cheltenham hill, but trainer Nicky Henderson pointed out to me that he hit the last, has had a breathing operation since, is a year older and stronger, and that this is over fences not hurdles! His races over fences have been amazing so far, with his last run at Newbury breaking a 23 year old course record yet he was never out of much more than a canter. His problem here will be staying off the front until when jockey Barry Geraghty wants to get there as he takes a couple of lengths out of his rivals at each fence. Overall, I believe that if he can be kept sound he could be the best two mile chaser we have seen in many a year, and I honestly feel he could have gone for the Champion Chase instead and not disgraced himself as a novice.
Avoiding the other short priced favourites (Hurricane Fly, Quevega), who both ought to win, my other bet needs to be higher risk (and a higher price), and I have come down on the side of Carrickboy in the last each way. He won easily last time out at Hereford and although the faster ground today is of concern, he could be thrown in at the weights for the 5.15pm under a five-pound penalty for that success. The Venetia Williams yard have been in good form in the last two weeks which could be all important, and I am pretty sure the handicapper would have liked him to be carrying a few more pounds, meaning that if the race eight days ago did not take too much out off him (and it looked little more than a canter), then at a massive price he could well sneak in to the frame.
Tuesday Suggestions:
Sensible bet for Punters
3pts Win SPRINTER SACRE 2.05pm Cheltenham @ 1.91 Paddy Power 50£ in Free bets!
Silly bets for dreamers:
1pt each way CARRICKBOY 5.15pm Cheltenham @ 13.00 with Paddy Power ( 7.50 profit if win, 1 profit if placed)

Top Ten Treks in the Nepalese Himalaya
The Langtang and Helambu regions are home to the Himalayan treks closest to Kathmandu. Langtang, lying entirely within Langtang National Park, is the higher mountain hike, whereas Helambu never gets above 10,000 feet. For thin-air lovers, Laurebina pass, which connects these two areas, gets up to 16,800 feet. The Langtang trek is a two-week, slow and elegant climb out and back the length of the Langtang River valley. Through changing climates and vegetation, don't be surprised if you start by wearing shorts and finish slogging through a few inches of snow. To get to Helambu to the south, if you don't want to backtrack, try the long and tough Ganga La traverse through the heart of the park's Jugal Himal. This trail is the only section of either trek where you must be entirely self-sufficient. It eventually drops to Helambu's Melamchi Khola valley. Otherwise, back at the trail head near Dhunche, head to Laurebina Pass and Gosaikund Lake, a pilgrimage site for followers of Shiva. The week-long Helambu hike plunges into the higher temperatures and lush vegetation typical of Nepal's Pahar midlands. You could, if you wished, just walk all the way back to Kathmandu.

Feedback recently asked for evidence to support the idea that some dogs have better spatial awareness than others (12 February). This immediately caught my attention, because of a simple experiment I once carried out on a couple of dogs: the first a Labrador retriever, the second a German shorthaired pointer.
In turn, I took each dog into a wood and got it to "stay", then walked out of its sight, climbed 1 metre up a tree in a clearing and called the dog. The first dog looked around for me at dog eye level, increasingly desperately, for a couple of minutes. The second entered the clearing and immediately spotted me.
Both dogs were working gun dogs but, as canine aficionados will know, retrievers mainly work with game already on the ground, while pointers also have to spot quarry in the air, introducing the important third dimension.
While it is ...
