For immediate release:
How to get the girl - in two acts!! Lyric Opera of Chicago's rollicking new production of Rossini's comic masterpiece The Barber of Seville Just 10 performances February 1 - 28 starring Nathan Gunn, Isabel Leonard, Alek Shrader, Alessandro Corbelli, Kyle Ketelsen Michele Mariotti/conductor, Rob Ashford/director Scott Pask/set designer, Catherine Zuber/costume designer
Discount tickets for children! Just $20 - $50
Lyric Opera of Chicago presents a brand-new production of Gioachino Rossini's crowning comedic glory, The Barber of Seville, conceived by the Tony Award-winning director Rob Ashford in both his Lyric and operatic debut. There will be 10 total performances: February 1, 3, 15, 18, 21, and 25 at 7:30pm and February 6, 9, 12, and 28 at 2:00pm.
Based on the first of a series of uproarious comic plays by Beaumarchais, the eponymous barber Figaro (baritone Nathan Gunn) is the ultimate fixer, running around solving everyone's problems - and boasting about it in the famous "Largo al factotum" aria, "Figaro, Figaro, Figaro!" He involves himself in a love triangle, helping Count Almaviva (tenor Alek Shrader) woo and win the beautiful Rosina (mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard, debut) away from her old lecherous guardian Dr. Bartolo (baritone Alessandro Corbelli), who keeps her under lock and key. All hell breaks loose not once but twice - first, when Almaviva disguises himself as a drunken soldier, and then when he presents himself as a replacement for Rosina's supposedly indisposed music master, Don Basilio (bass-baritone Kyle Ketelsen). Of course, with Figaro's invaluable assistance, all eventually ends happily for Almaviva and his beloved Rosina.
The hilarious story is paired with Rossini's effortless and infectious melodies that make the entire score, from arias to ensembles, a delight - not to mention the world-famous overture that has become pop culture's go-to operatic shorthand everywhere from Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in "The Rabbit of Seville" to Seinfeld.
Michele Mariotti conducts this sparkling new production, directed by Rob Ashford, with sets designed by Scott Pask, costumes by five-time Tony winner Catherine Zuber, and lighting design by Howard Harrison - all Lyric debuts. The chorus master is Michael Black.
"Directing a Rossini comedy is extraordinarily difficult because the production needs to remain true to its commedia dell'arte roots, while at the same time having a kind of zany, off-the-wall comic skill," notes Anthony Freud, Lyric Opera's general director. "I've seen several of Rob Ashford's productions on Broadway and elsewhere, which confirmed for me that he is exactly the right director to take on this piece." The American director's stage triumphs include Anna Christie (Olivier Award), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Evita, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Shrek, and more.
For The Barber of Seville, Ashford's concept emphasizes the romantic exuberance of the opera. "It's a love story! Working with Scott Pask and Catherine Zuber, the idea was that it should be romantic. The pure passion and the unabashed primary colors of Rosina and the Count's love - or lust - for each other are what causes the comedy. People do silly things when they're in love!"
In his first appearance at Lyric since Show Boat (2012), Nathan Gunn makes the lead role his own, noting, "He's a modern man, and I try to get that across without turning him into a comedian." Deemed "opera's new 'it' girl," by the CBC, American mezzo-soprano Isabel Leonard makes her Lyric debut as Rosina, the role that brought her international attention. After making his Lyric debut in 2011-12 as Tamino in The Magic Flute, Alek Shrader returns as Almaviva, a role in which Opera News singled him out as marrying "comic wit and matinee-idol good looks." And Alessandro Corbelli delights with his impeccable Bartolo, "all bluster and great comic timing" (The Independent, London).
Michele Mariotti - one of the rising stars in the operatic world - makes his Lyric podium debut with Barber. Principal conductor of the Teatro Comunale di Bologna since 2008, his recent podium triumphs include leading Metropolitan Opera's Rat-Pack Rigoletto and La donna del lago at the Royal Opera House, both in 2012-13.
For tickets and information call (312) 827-5600 or go to lyricopera.org. Discounted tickets ($20-$50) are available for all performances for school-age children when accompanied by an adult with a regular ticket.
Lyric's Discovery Series session on The Barber of Seville, held on Thursday, January 30, featured Alek Shrader and Isabel Leonard with conductor Michele Mariotti. Roger Pines, Lyric's dramaturg, moderates. For information on this and other Discovery Series offerings go to http://www.lyricopera.org/discovery/.
The new Lyric Opera production of The Barber of Seville is generously made possible by the Gramma Fisher Foundation of Marshalltown, Iowa, the NIB Foundation, Randy L. and Melvin R. Berlin, and Margot and Josef Lakonishok.
NOTE: Audiences will notice a group of young supernumeraries involved in scene changes and performing other silent functions in this production. Nine are current or former students from the musical theater department at Northwestern University; two are members of Lyric's new Youth Opera Council. All are excited to be involved in this production and to work directly with director Rob Ashford.
Lyric's new Youth Opera Council is hosting a sold-out "Night at the Opera" for the opening-night performance of Barber. About 200 high-school students will attend a pre-performance reception in the Opera Club and the performance. This is a project of Lyric Unlimited. http://www.lyricopera.org/yoc/

The Ectoedemia heringella larva mines the leaves of evergreen oaks such as Quercus ilex (Holm oak) or Quercus alnifolia Poech.
The eggs are laid on the upper-side of a leaf, often near a vein.
As the larva feeds, it produces a much-contorted gallery mine, almost filled with black frass - debris made up of droppings.
Numerous larvae and mines can be found on a single leaf.
Larvae have been found from November to April but mainly during January or February.
Pupation takes place outside the leaf in a small, ovoid, brown cocoon, either between leaves or in leaf-litter on the ground.
Adults occur from late April to end of June (Nieukerken, 1985). However, moth-trapping at 2 additional sites in London has produced specimens on dates between 4 July and 1 August.
The moth's flight period in Britain is April to August, possibly in 2 overlapping generations.
Adults have a wingspan of between 4.4 and 5.8mm.

"She's on her toes dancing in heaven. No more MS," Gina Gilardi, Funicello's daughter, tells Extra. "My brothers and I were there, holding her sweet hands when she left us."

Pretty Little Liars
Ashley Benson's Famous BFF: Which Pop Star Did She Party With at Coachella? (PHOTO)
Ashley Benson (Hanna) looked like she had a blast at Coachella Music Festival over the weekend, living it up with her Pretty Little Liars co-stars, Tyler Blackburn (Caleb) and Troian Bellisario (Spencer). But those aren't the only famous faces Ashley rocked out with.
The PLL actress showed off this fun-filled photo on her Instagram over the weekend, showing off her party crew — that's right, Pretty Little Liars fans, Ashley chilled with Katy Perry (far right) during the festival. Worlds collide!
While Ashley looked laid back in denim shorts and a cropped top, our girl KP went for a more eccentric look (shocking, we know), with her patterned bikini top and matching shorts.
After you pick your jaw up from the floor, let us know what you think of this celebrity duo. Would Ash and Katy be the most awesome besties ever, or are they probably just party buds? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
Pretty Little Liars Season 4 premieres on Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.

Good news for actors, eavesdroppers and bat researchers. Emkay of Burgess Hill in West Sussex claims to have developed the world's smallest broadcast-quality microphone. A pressure sensor and field-effect transistor amplifier are packed into a 2.5-millimetre cylinder. It is easily hidden in an actor's hair, or could be used as a bug. The mike also records ultrasound, from bats, for example.

Memorial Day weekend beach weather forecast
Heading to the beaches this weekend for Memorial Day? Check out the all-important weather forecast here.
Some changes have been starting to take place in the weekend beach forecast. Overall it still looks like it will be nice for the Delmarva Beaches down to Virginia Beach. There are questions though as a new system has developed just to the east of Florida which may become another tropical system. This could really put a big question mark for the forecast for the Outer Banks and the Southeast. Here are our latest thoughts.
All the information you need to know about the beaches here!
- Saturday & Sunday Beach Forecast
Saturday and Sunday look nice if you are heading to the Eastern Shore and north to the beaches in new Jersey. There you can expect temperatures in the mid 70s with plenty of sunshine. It is the Outer Banks with the big concern as that low moves up the east coast. That area may see the chance for showers and thunderstorms along with some breezy winds out of the east and some bigger surf.
Check out the Surf Forecast here (Swellinfo.com)
- Memorial Day beach Forecast
Memorial Day Monday at this point appears to see more of the same as far as the northern beaches for temperatures but also includes the slight chance for a shower or thunderstorm. At this point it looks more along the lines of a 30% chance. The low east of Florida will still be a big question mark come Monday but as of now we are keeping in the chance for a few storms with highs in the mid to upper 70s. Winds may still be on the breezy side and some high surf will continue to be possible.
Important Note: Wear sunscreen!!! I know you may think the sun isn't quite as strong as it's not even summer yet, but just ask my girlfriend who got fried at Bethany last weekend (cough, cough told you so...). Here's a good article on best sunscreens and sunscreens to avoid.

Image Armada allows you to customize pre made 3D galleries that can be explored 'virtually' on your local machine [PC only ] and online from any browser. Like any real gallery, you can select frames and mounts and hang your work anywhere in the gallery and even on furniture. Work details/voice overs/ music can all be included picture by picture, as well as internet links and email. Even make a tour movie for upload or for home viewing
Image Armada has made it as easy as possible for you to create your own gallery environments with a minimum of fuss and effort. The visual quality of the galleries that you can produce is first class and you'll be amazed at the results which are comparable to high-end graphics workstations. Once you have created a gallery, the first thing you'll likely want to do is to show it to someone else, or perhaps the whole idea of producing the gallery was for the sole intention of showing off your artwork. Using Image Armada, galleries can be packed up and burnt onto a CD along with a viewer that can be run on any other PC and not just your own. If keeping contents of downloaded exhibition upto date is an issue a call home setting can check to see if a newer version of the exhibition is available.

Hi JoeI've worked at quite a few small shops (Hey - I'm in New Zealand, most of our customers are small comparatively speaking - even the big ones :)) and they often have a remote support/remote access requirement, even if it is never realised. The HMC is great solution where you want access to your machine without having to go on site run the system save, the rclstg, PTF install, etc etc.
I'd be really surprised if every one of your customers ran nine to five and powered their system down all weekend. It's been along time since I've seen a warehouse that didn't open late and shut early.
If your customers have weekend operators or out of hours operations then they might benefit. All I'm saying is try it - don't dismiss it out of hand because it is not twinax. I'm not trying to convince you it's the only/right solution, but it is a viable solution (and I wouldn't have said that about earlier efforts).
Take a good look at what it does and can do - you might be surprised. Regards Evan Harris At 04:02 p.m. 14/11/2006, you wrote:
Small shop with no remote support, no partitions and only one system: you've perfectly described the SMB market space, Evan, which comprises probably 80% of my customers. Joe

This is the second Universal Window for my Steampunk corridor set.
I actually uploaded it at the weekend, but the forum has been down so I haven't been able to post a link to it up until now.
This download contains a second "Universal Window" section. It is similar to the first window, but it has a more rounded "submarine" theme to it, and the addition of two sets of rivets (one for the outside section of the window frame, and one for the center section of the window frame). Both sets of rivets are stored as a child prop, which you can hide if you don't want to use them.
This was how I originally intended section 1 to look. But I had a lot of problems with using the Boolean function to cut the round hole in the center section. So I left it out in the end.
Thanks to an assist from Elowan and SpottedKitty (sorry, the forum is down right now, so I may have incorrectly remembered your user names) I have now fixed this, and so can put out the rounded version of the window for everybody. Big thanks to these guys.
This prop was designed to be used with any of my Steampunk Corridor sections that use the standark Bulkhead template. Simply select the corridor section and hide the bulkhead using the Opacity settings in DS\Material Room in Poser. Then put this section in its place.
Props designed in Hexagon. Included MATs and PP2 and OBJ file for easy use in Daz Studio, Poser and other 3D software packages.
Please report any bugs so that I can get them fixed.

Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial PocketBac Halloween 2012
The Bath & Body Works Anti-Bacterial PocketBac Halloween 2012 Collection has launched online. I saw a few of these are my local store but I went to another store and didn't see them so you might need to check around to get your hands on 'em (or avoid the drama of scary SAs and just get them online).
I indulged in only one. I should get a pat on the back and a lollipop for that type of behavoir. I really wanted them all but I have FAR too many of these things floating around in my life. How many ant-bacterial gels does one girl need? At this point I'm surprised the skin on my hands hasn't been removed after using so much ha!
Take a look Halloween lovers.

Elegant Architecture Displayed by Renovated and Extended Victorian House
We enjoy observing complex renovation projects which preserve important visual features of the existing building. This particular Victorian home located in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia features quite a few exquisite details, most of them reminiscent of the building's style heritage. Currently on sale for here, the project consists of a main renovated house and an annex envisioned in a highly contemporary manner. According to the official press release, this "stately and beautifully renovated and extended early Victorian balconied family residence with circular driveway, pool and separate self-contained accommodation is situated on a large garden allotment of 1265 square meters approximately. The house accommodates a normal lounge, separate dining room and study (each with open fireplace), powder room, kitchen/family meals area and informal living room opening to terrace and garden. Upstairs you can find the master bedroom with balcony, walk in robe and en-suite, three further bedrooms each with open fireplace, expansive bathroom and second study". Enjoy the virtual tour and feel free to share your opinions below!

The interior of the house isn't my style but I love the facade. The front of the house reminds me of the houses I've seen in photos of New Orleans.
Love what is going on in the facade… the balcony framing the white background wall. I was a bit shock by the back and how the old and new relate with each other. A little disappointed that the designer did not push the envelope the same as the front facade. The design went some what lazy, with a typical form.

Re: Should I mix anything with my clay wall layer?
Wattle and lathe.
I'm out of my depth here, but the walls of Tudor houses were framed with wood lathe (I am guessing oak strips) and the "mud" was manure, straw, and clay -- which was finished with lime wash. Or something like that. I've had too many pints in 400-odd year old pubs, and the walls still look as good as new. At least they do after a few pints.
Can our British contingent comment on this one?
Then, perhaps we can talk about maintaining a thatched roof. :-)

Re: Should I mix anything with my clay wall layer?
Did you know that "lathe" and "Lath" come from the same root word, in middle English, that means "twig". It comes down to us as the wood strips (or expanded metal sheet) that are secured to a structure and hold plaster or stucco.
In the old days, a green tree, or lathe, would be tied to a rope and bent down to provide a return spring for a foot powered wood lathe. The rope would be wrapped around the workpiece between centers, and the turner would cut on the down stroke.
Here's a modern take on the idea, using a bungee cord instead of a green tree.
Thus ends your trivia lesson for today.
Re: Should I mix anything with my clay wall layer?
Nope, extended trivia lesson. Before dedicated lath mills started operation, here in the late 19th century, to produce identical pieces of oak for plastering, irregular slabs of, unfortunately, green white oak were partially split with a hatchet, then pulled apart a bit to form key areas for the plaster. It's called "accordion lath," and is one of the ways historians can date houses. Then there are the fasteners: square cut nails or blacksmith forged nails. How dat for trivia?

Re: Should I mix anything with my clay wall layer?
and a bit of the text:
The first photo shows the entire lathe. The main body of the lathe consists of a pair of 2 x 6 beams that form the bed of the lathe that are bolted on either side of the 2 x 4 legs that raise the bed to the appropriate height. Carriage bolts hold the bed beams and the legs together, and keep the unit square. A base of 2 x 4's supported by diagonals keep the lathe supported perpendicular to the main frame.
The basic dimensions depend on how tall you are, and the length of the longest thing you're going to want to turn. My lathe is 40 inches wide, which allows me to turn spindles up to 26 inches long. The top of the bed is 42 inches off the ground, the poppets are eight inches tall, with seven inches between the top of the bed and the point of the dead centers in each poppet.
The poppets are made from three pieces of 2 x 4 glued and screwed together. The middle piece is long enough to extend down through the bed and below, and has a large tapered mortise in it. A wedge is fitted into this mortise, and when the wedge is driven into the mortise, it pulls the poppet down and holds it in place in the lathe bed.
The dead centers themselves are mild steel round bar, 3/4 of an inch in diameter. I turned the ends to points with a file, using my treadle lathe to spin the rod. Roy Underhill showed a similar operation using a post drill, and I imagine a drill press would also work. You don't want a long taper because it will drive itself too far into the workpiece. Instead, you want the taper to be about 45 degrees, so the distance from the start of the point to the point itself is about the same as the radius of the rod. You can see how blunt the center looks on my lathe, even though the point itself is pretty sharp.
The spring pole part is actually a bungee cord that is stretched parallel to and above the lathe bed. The rope that wraps around the workpiece is loosely tied to the bungee cord. You can control how much effort it takes to push down on the pedal, and how quickly the lathe returns by how much you've stretched the bungee. The ability to move the rope across the bungee is useful so you can place the rope on the workpiece away from where you are presently turning.
The pedal is just a long flat board with a piece of cloth stapled to the underside. The cloth is then stapled to another piece of wood that you'll stand on with your inactive foot. You could put a metal hinge here, but the cloth allows you to adjust where you're pulling the rope and also helps keep the rope away from where you are turning.
On my lathe, I never bothered to make a true tool rest, but simply clamp a piece of wood to the poppets, with the top edge of the board set at about the height of the dead centers. It's not as useful as a true tool rest that could be moved closer to the workpiece, but it does work. A traditional tool rest would look sort of like a third poppet, but much shorter, and with a movable extension on it that can be moved toward and away from the workpiece, and has a rest that is the same height as the dead centers.
The first picture shows the lathe all set up with a piece of birch between the centers. And the last picture shows a close up of the turning setup. The rope goes around the workpiece twice and is then tied to the bungee cord such that the pedal is in an appropriate "up" position. The rope wraps around the workpiece in such a way that when you press down on the pedal, the workpiece spins toward you. This is the cutting stroke, and is when you're moving the tool ever so slightly into the workpiece. When you release the pedal, you pull the tool back slightly so it's not riding on the wood when the bungee pulls the rope back up. The slight movement back and forth quickly becomes habit, but it's difficult to remember at first, especially while concentrating on how you're actually using the tool.
To get the workpiece ready for turning, I scribe a circle on the ends with a compass, and chop down close to these lines with a hatchet. A draw knife brings the piece closer to a cylinder. Before putting the piece between the centers I like to drill a very shallow hole at the center point for the centers to ride in. If the piece works it's way off the centers, you may need to make this hole deeper and wider so the piece stays on the centers.
You'll also notice in the last photo that the rope is wrapped around a narrower section in the workpiece. It's often helpful when turning a large diameter cylinder to start by turning a narrow groove for the rope to work in. Not only will it keep the rope from moving into your tools, but the smaller the diameter where the rope is, the faster the workpiece will turn. A large diameter cylinder with the rope wrapped around a very narrow section can be spinning really quickly, and this often makes turning easier.
Finally, keep in mind that turning with a spring pole lathe is much easier with wet wood. This style of lathe was typically put together in the forest by spindle turners so they could cut down, chop, round and turn chair parts right on site. The first time you try turning wet wood instead of dry, you'll understand why they did it this way. You certainly can turn dry wood on a spring pole lathe, but don't expect it to be easy.

Our passion at Olives direct is to create and produce outstanding quality, freshly prepared foods that capture
the authentic tastes and flavours of the Mediterranean at its very best!
The Mediterranean diet has long been known for its positive health benefits, a great ambassador for this has been Jamie Oliver through his chain of Jamie's Italian restaurants and his cookery books. Unlike many other olives producers we desalinate our olives removing most of the salt that is used to cure them, this means our olives taste of olive and are not bitter or salty. Further to this we marinade with extra virgin olive oil, sunflower oil and the freshest herbs ensuring that our olives taste the very best they can.
Our range of products including marinated olives, antipasti, infused oils and pestos are all prepared by hand using the freshest ingredients to original recipes many of which have been handed down through our families to create exciting, award winning Mediterranean food at its very best.

David Baumann Show 4-23-13- Press Play
George O'Leary :
George O'Leary believes the NCAA's decision to lift the bowl ban for the UCF program was not because the university cooperated fully with the investigation.
O'Leary told David Baumann of SportsTalk 1080 in Orlando this morning, "No, I thought their reason when I read the report was that they tried to lump everything into one penalty for two different sports. That's what the committee of appeals saw when they went through the thing."
The case against UCF was very weak to begin.
O'Leary said, "I thought that it was the right decision at the time we made it (the appeal). I was very vehement about it."
The lifting of the bowl ban alleviates comes at the perfect time.
O'Leary said, "I know it's helped recruiting. That's been a negative with a lot of schools. It alleviated that negative while you're on the road. We're on the road (recruiting) for the first time this week, so it was well-timed."
Lost in the story is that former wide receivers coach David Kelly unfairly lost his job and was left to take a job with the Edmonton Eskimos after nearly twenty years of coaching at the college level. Kelly will likely return to the college game sometime next off-season, he's too good of a recruiter and coach, but the personal damage has been done.
So what's next? O'Leary is sixty-six years old.
Although a contract extension through the 2017 season was reportedly extended this off-season to O'Leary, he said, "I don't know. I'm year-to-year. I've always said I'd like to see us get into the Big East and then make decisions from there. That's still on the table as far as what I want to look at."
Year-to-year is really how O'Leary has operated anyway.
"Yea, it has been," he admitted. "That's how I operate. Money is not a big thing with me. I love the camaraderie and the competition on Saturday. There's only a couple of things to do when you retire and I don't like any of them. I'll probably enjoy my grandchildren."
When it is time to step aside, will O'Leary make a case for the next head coach?
"No, I think that's an administrative decision. You don't fix what's not broken. I left (Georgia) Tech in good shape. Bringing someone in new isn't always the answer. The key to success is stability. You're going to have some bad plays and bad games, but overall is the program accomplishing the goals of the university, that's what you look at."
UCF begins the 2013 by hosting Akron. A week later, the Knights travel to FIU and then Penn State, before returning home to play South Carolina.

The battle between wharfies and the Ports of Auckland has reached a temporary truce, and the Council of Trade Unions says it has given union workers "reassurance".
An interim injunction reached in the Employment Court today halts the port's plans to make 292 employees redundant and contract out their jobs until May 16, when the court is expected to make a final decision
The port has also been stopped from trying to attract workers into taking voluntary redundancies until Friday, and cannot engage contracting companies to hire or recruit employees or advertise recruitment.
The ruling comes after the port last week agreed not to take any further action over redundancies or engage with contractors, but then locked out workers when they returned to the port the next day on safety grounds.
The port has agreed to back-pay wharfies for the period from March 21, when the Maritime Union lifted strike action, to March 30. The port says the offer does not apply to casual employees.
Council of Trade Unions president Helen Kelly told ONE News it was a significant agreement.
"The court has acknowledged that there is an arguable case that all the port has done in relation to the collective bargaining is not lawful and therefore granted an injunction to stop them with the contracting out," she said.
She said the workers have been dismayed by the port's behaviour.
"Today you know they've got some reassurance that they're on the right side of the law. They know the port now is going to have to rethink its strategy and they'll be pleased they're getting paid obviously."
A port worker said the back pay "will be a great help".
"It's good to know that we're finally getting somewhere and these guys are fronting up you know and we deserve that."
But another port work said the back-pay is secondary to their cause.
"The most important part about what's just happened in the courts this morning is the fact there is that we appeared to have been back online now to go back inside the place and do the jobs that we're employed to do and that's vitally important."
Workers will meet with port management on Thursday to determine who is eligible for back pay.
'Ill-advised letter'
The union claims the port has not followed the correct process when deciding to make workers redundant.
Colin Carruthers, QC for the Maritime Union, told the court today that the port sent a letter to workers following the agreement not to proceed with redundancies which said if union workers were interested in voluntary redundancies then the port would send them information and take them through the process.
Carruthers said the letter, which was allegedly sent on Friday, is completely against the legal agreement the port made with the union.
Kelly said the port's lawyer said "it was perhaps ill advised" and they will be seeking to again include a injunction stopping them from doing that.
He said he also has evidence that contracting companies, including the Allied Workforce Group and Drake, are still sending out information on contractors jobs to those who enquire.
He said the union has been privy to letters and documents which plainly show redundancies are still at the front of the port's mind.
The port argued it needs time to consider the evidence in the form of the voluntary redundancy letter and the documents which allegedly show redundancies were always the plan as it was only filed at 5pm last night.
In a statement today the company said it has issued an indefinite lockout notice to all union members covered by the collective bargaining over health and safety concerns, which were not specified.
The Employment Court will decide whether to issue an injunction on the lockouts on Friday.
But Carruthers told the court that while the port says the lockout is a move to progress with collective bargaining, the evidence the union's legal team has shown "the dominant motive can't be to advance collective bargaining".

At ph=4, what is the charge of the peptide GET?
At ph=4, what is the charge of the peptide GET
The N-terminal amino group will have a charge of +1 because its pKa is around 9 or so. Likewise, the C-terminal carboxyl group will have a charge of -1 because its pKa is around 2.1 or so. Now, the only side chain that can be ionized is the carboxyl group of glutamic acid (E). Its pKa is about 4.25. Since this is slightly above 4, more of the glu carboxyl groups will be un-ionized, and the molecule will still have a slight negative charge. If the pH was exactly equal to the pKa of the glu carboxyl, you could say that the molecule would have a net charge of -1/2. Since you are at a pH a little below the pKa, the net charge will be less than -1/2, but it won't be 0.
You could actually use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to calculate the fraction of side chains that are ionized and calculate a specific charge, but that's probably not what they want you to do.

NYFOS to Present JACQUES BREL & CHARLES TRENET: FIRE AND FANTASY, 2/19
The NEW YORK FESTIVAL OF SONG continues its 25th anniversary season, honoring two of the 20th century's greatest balladeers in Jacques Brel & CHARLES TRÉNET: Fire and Fantasy on Tuesday, February 19 at 8:00PM at Merkin Concert Hall.
The Belgian and French pair of composers are celebrated with an authentic flair under the graceful touch of tenor Philippe Pierce, making his NYFOS debut, and mezzo-soprano Marie Lenormand, whom French music magazine Diapason praised as a "distinguished and emotive musician, whose every phrase is a model of simplicity and elegance."
This tour-de-chant includes some of Brel and Trénet's most famous pieces-Brel's "Ne me quitte pas" and "Madeleine," and Trénet's "Que reste-t-il de nos amours" and "La mer"-along with lesser-known treasures.
Joining pianist and NYFOS artistic director Steven Blier are virtuoso accordionist Bill Schimmel and Broadway veteran Greg Utzig on banjo and guitar.
A repeat performance of this program will take place on Thursday, February 21 at 8:00PM at the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD.
Single tickets are available for $40-$55, with discount tickets available for students at $10, and a limited number of advanced purchase Real Deal tickets at $20. Every concert is accompanied by a post-show wine reception with the cast. For more information, visit nyfos.org.

Thursday, June 19th
7:00pm / doors at 6:30pm
Advance general admission: $10
At the door: $14
Table of 4 reserved seats: $50
Advanced sales end at 5:00pm the day of each show. Remaining tickets are available at the door.
On Thursday June 19th, ATL Collective is presenting their most harmonious album to date. Yes, Crosby Stills and Nash. Already singing along i.e their 1969 debut album? Yeah, us too. They'll be back at their old home of Eddie's Attic for this treat. And the show is going to be so sweet they're doing two. Pick one or come to both. But get your tickets now. Not only do you save $3 if you buy in advance, but you guarantee you get a spot. Their shows have been selling out. Consider yourself warned.
We are not covering their other semi-eponomous album, CSN that came out a few years later and has far fewer amazing songs. Indeed, we're taking on the big boy, complete with "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" and everyone's favorite exotic train song "Marrakesh Express." Sorry for any confusion (and apologies for those of you more fond of the lesser-known CSN album). It was our co-founder's mistake. He moved to Santa Fe and the air is thin there.
Luckily, we have the Shadowboxers in our pen. And they'll be our featured act. The ridiculously talented Lera Lynn, Adron, Trae Vedder (of Death On Two Wheels), Nick Niespodziani & Jason Nackers (of Indianapolis Jones) will also be reliving this one with us. Don't miss this!
The Atlanta-based Shadowboxers have a passion for captivating lyrics, tight harmonies, and soulful vocals. Founding members Scott Schwartz, Matt Lipkins, and Adam Hoffman experienced an almost-instantaneous musical compatibility when they first started jamming. They've forged a cohesive sound based on a shared reverence for the strong, taut harmonies of Simon & Garfunkel, D'Angelo, and The Beatles. This young band's unified sound has an R&B-soaked, smart perspective replete with an abundance of vocal talent and songwriting skill. In the short time they've been playing together, The Shadowboxers have found a collective voice that is intelligent, soulful, and catchy.
"Lera Lynn is a master of duality. She is able to toe the line effortlessly- somehow beautiful, yet approachable… writing, releasing, and spreading the word of her music the old-fashioned way- herself." – Broadway + Thresher Magazine
"…the woman with the golden pipes who plays acoustic and electric guitars is versatile enough to handle ballads ("Whiskey") and blasters ("Good Hearted Man") in folk, country and rock…" – Huffington Post
"…gorgeous rendition of [Bob Dylan's] "I Shall Be Released." – AmericanSongwriter.com
"…the most important thing is to follow your intuition in everything in life, but especially in music and writing and playing." -American Songwriter Magazine"Lynn's taken an honest and painstaking inventory of her past experiences, and out of that process a song cycle has emerged that serves as a true representation — and a reintroduction — of the artist." – The Blue Indian
"The 27-year-old's indie Americana sound and beautiful harmonies call to mind the sparse style of Gillian Welch. But bolstered by a full band, she rocks a little harder than her traditionalist contemporaries."- Refinery29
"…she comes with built in stage presence…It was all nerve exposing candor and delicious melodies…"- Music City Roots
"This record is about my rebelliousness in love, hard-headedness, distrust. It's also about being confused about where I'm going and not always getting what I want out of my creative self." – Paste Magazine

THE BEST idea yet for explaining how the starship Enterprise might zoom around the Galaxy has run into a technical hitch. Physicists in Massachusetts say that a cunning scheme for faster-than-light space travel is doomed to failure because it would need more than the entire energy content of the Universe to work.
In 1994, physicist Miguel Alcubierre of the University of Wales in Cardiff created a sensation when he explained how Star Trek's fabled warp drive might work. While no material object can reach the speed of light, he showed that space itself could be altered to achieve the same effect.
In theory, a starship could "warp" the space around it so that it expanded behind the vessel while shrinking ahead of it. By shunting the departure point many light years backwards and bringing the destination closer, this could effectively transport the starship faster than light.
But now a study ...

On Friday, Dec. 14, an armed gunman entered Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Conn. and killed 26 people, including 20 first-graders.
Since then, faculty and staff at area schools have taken a hard look at their own plans of response should such violence erupt in their own hallways.
Teachers and other staff at Washington Elementary School met Thursday with Valley City Police Chief Fred Thompson to discuss the school's current emergency plan and how to improve it.
Jeff Bopp, director of the Sheyenne Valley Area Career and Technology Center, is thrilled with the donation of 10 new state-of-the-art welding helmets from the John Deere Seeding Co.
The program received a total of 10 auto darkening Speedglass 3M welding helmets.
Bopp said the helmets feature a lens that is totally clear but the instant an arc is struck the lens turns dark to prevent a welding flash and likewise the lens instantly becomes clear as soon as the welding arc stops.

This prairie branded me. I used to be just a girl trying to find myself. This prairie gave me a purpose. It wasn't a planned purpose. I never aspired to be "The Blonde on the Prairie." In fact –if you would have told me I'd be called that I may have just walked away talking under my breath. Some guy named "Bruce" gave me the name after he printed the first or second column I ever wrote. I only met him once yet the impact he has had on my life is epic. Something like nine years have passed since he first printed that name.
The City of Valley City has closed the shooting range that was located in the basement of the Law Enforcement Center building, City Administrator David Schelkoph said Thursday.
"We closed it (in December) because we had the Department of Health come in and they did a test; they told us they believe there's too much lead inside the shooting area," Schelkoph said. "To be safe rather than sorry we closed it down."
Henrietta Dotting sat in a recliner in her room at the Sheyenne Care Center as she contemplated the significance of turning 107 on Jan. 4. "It's not a big deal!" she said to her nephew Duane Farnquist.
"It is a big deal!" he replied.
Indeed, Dotting doesn't attribute her longevity to anything she did or didn't do. Her mother lived to 94, so it could be biological.
At 106, Dotting is still sharp-minded. Even though her eyesight is nearly gone, she still spends many hours listening to books on tapes through a pair of headphones that Farnquist had to remove.
Preschool children today are surrounded by violence. Much of the violence that children are exposed to is through television and other screen time. According to data from the Nielson Company, pre-schoolers ages two to five spend 32.5 hours a week in front of the television, watching TV, watching shows recorded by DVR, watching DVDs or playing video games.

Third-graders from Jefferson School teamed up to collect supplies for the Sheyenne Valley Friends of Animals. Here representative students from each of the four sections present their donations to SVFA members Kay Kringlie and Michele Grebel. The third-grade teachers who coordinated the effort are: Â Mrs. Potratz, Mrs. Goven, Mrs. Breckheimer and Mrs. McDaniel. Â The donations will be used for needy animals in the Valley City area.
The North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) has lifted the Travel Alert for the Dickinson, Williston and Minot areas. However a Travel Alert remains in effect for the Bismarck area and is extended to the Jamestown, Valley City and surrounding areas due to blowing snow causing areas of scattered ice. The Travel Alert means motorists can still travel, but may encounter areas of challenging winter weather driving conditions and should use caution.

In accordance with an amendment to the Higher Education Act (HEA), any institution that maintains on-campus student housing facilities must now collect fire statistics, publish an Annual Fire Safety Report and keep a "fire log." A log of all fires will be kept in the Security Office and made available for review upon request. The Annual Fire Report and fire statistics will be compiled by calendar year and disclosed to the University family by October 1st of the fall semester.

Then, enter East Texas Baptist University in the name field in order to view the fire statistics.
Centennial Hall (opened Fall Semester 2014)
Feagin Hall (est. 1950) – Men's residence hall (2 per room)
Fry Hall (est. 1977, remodeled in 2008) – Men's five bedroom apartments without kitchen
Linebery Hall (est. 1961) – Women's residence hall (2 per room)

University Apartments (est. 2002) – Men and Women four bedroom apartments with kitchen
Van Zandt Apartments (est. 1978/1981) – One and two bedroom apartments
NOTE: In residence halls with battery powered smoke detectors the batteries are checked and changed twice a year.
Family Housing (campus houses for student families)
The University is an alcohol/drug/tobacco free campus. All students are prohibited from having alcohol, drugs and/or tobacco on campus, in their automobiles, or on their person at any time.
Firearms and other weapons are not permitted on campus, with the exception of the transportaton and storage of firearms by concealed handgun license holders in private vehicles (as described in SB 1907).
Students should take responsibility to ensure halls are free of fire hazards. Open flames such as candles, incense, matches, or lighters are prohibited due to their potential as fire hazards. These items may be removed from student's rooms without notification. Certain items will be returned at the end of the semester. Irons and cooking appliances should never be left on when the room is unoccupied. Electrical outlets should not be overloaded.
Refrigerators, microwaves, or MicroFridge units are allowed in all residence hall rooms, but only one of these items are allowed per room. Refrigerators cannot be more than 2.7 cubic feet and 1.5 amps.
The use of personal ovens, skillets, hot plates, crockpots, toasters, electrical heaters, and other heat appliances is prohibited in Centennial and Fry.
The use of ovens, skillets, hot plates, crockpots, toasters, electric heaters, and other heat appliances is allowed in Ornelas, Mabee, and University Apartments.
In the event of an emergency or fire related incident students are encouraged to contact 911 and then notify a Resident Director (RD) or Resident Assistant (RA). In each residence hall room or apartment there is a posted directory containing emergency contact numbers and the email address of the Resident Director. At the beginning of the school year, Resident Directors emailed their residents a list of names and contact numbers to use in an emergency. All residents are strongly encouraged to place that contact list in their cell phones.
1. If a fire alarm sounds, residents should take their room keys with them and begin an immediate and orderly evacuation along the designated routes. They should exit the building and wait for instructions or permission to reenter the building.
2. Residents should not run. They should move quickly out of the nearest designated stairwell and exit.
3. Staff members will check rooms, baths, closets and lobby areas of the halls. Anyone who does not evacuate or comply with the instructions of staff members may face disciplinary action.
4. The residence hall staff will signal that the building is safe and ready for reentry. No one is to reenter until the signal is given by ETBU personnel.
Mandatory supervised fire drills are conducted once each semester in the following residential facilities: Centennial, Feagin, Fry, Linebery, Mabee, and Ornelas. Drills are scheduled after 10:00PM in the evening to assure that the maximum numbers of residents are present to participate in the drill. Students should cooperate fully in order to avoid additional drills and/or disciplinary sanctions.
No fire drills are mandated for University Apartments or Van Zandt Apartments.
All campus buildings are inspected annually (before the fall semester begins) by the Marshall Fire Department. All fire alarms systems and sprinkler systems are inspected and tested annually, Also, all fire extinguishers are inspected and serviced on an annual basis.
The University will continually evaluate our program to see if potential changes are needed to improve the safety of our students living in campus housing.
The Office of Student Affairs will require safety education and training for all students living in our residence halls or apartments this year. This training will take place during mandatory meetings in each residence hall and will involve discussing fire safety responsibilities as well as evacuation routes. It will also include Fire Safety notifications via email and Facebook groups. This education and training in another format will also be required of students living in Van Zandt Apartments and our campus houses. Evacuation routes including fire safety zones will be posted in each residential hall during this school year.

STONED motorists will only stop driving under the influence of cannabis if they think they will get caught.
Craig Jones and colleagues at the New South Wales Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research in Sydney, Australia, interviewed 320 cannabis users about their driving habits. When told that being under the influence of cannabis makes drivers three to seven times more likely to cause an accident, most users said that would not stop them driving while stoned. The threat of fines and bans met with similar indifference.
