Paul Crutzen was born in 1933 in the Netherlands and started his career as an engineer building bridges in Amsterdam. He moved into atmospheric science, and went on to become a leading expert on the ozone layer and many other aspects of atmospheric chemistry. He has published more than 350 research papers and co-authored or edited eight books. He now divides his time between the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at La Jolla, California.
You've had a remarkably eclectic career. How did it all begin?
I was a late starter in science. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I failed my final exams to go to university in Amsterdam because I had a bad fever from a reaction to a smallpox inoculation. So I went to engineering school instead and then for four years, after national service, I was a bridge-builder in Amsterdam. But ...

'Merlin' canceled after Series 5: Watch the final season on SyFy in JanuaryAdd to Favorites | Merlin
For American viewers, the fifth season premieres Friday, Jan. 4 at 10 p.m. EST on SyFy. According to a press release, the decision to conclude the series was made by co-creators and executive producers Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy, not by the network.
In a statement, Capps and Murphy write, "This is the series where the storylines truly reach their apex. We always felt the story of the legend was best told across five series, leading to a spectacular finale that draws on the best known elements of this much-loved story and brings to a conclusion the battle for Camelot."
They continue, "We'd like to thank the amazing cast and crew for their professionalism and dedication, the BBC, FME and all of our partners globally for their incredible support and encouragement across the last five series. But chiefly, our thanks go to Merlin's remarkable and loyal audience around the world for their enthusiasm for the characters and Camelot universe."
Programmers at BBC One add, "Merlin's mix of magic, adventure and humour quickly became a hit with BBC One audiences and has continued to thrill families over the last five years on Saturday nights. I admire the creators' decision to end Merlin on a high, but also know that we will miss it in the BBC One schedule."
Statements from the cast can be found below.
Colin Morgan (Merlin): "From the beginning this was always going to be a five year journey that we embarked on and I think the show has run its natural course. The show has grown and grown each year and now we've arrived at its strongest point and we've achieved what we set out to do... I know this is the end, and I know this is goodbye, but thank you for being there on the journey with us because it has been a lot of fun!"
Bradley James (King Arthur): "The Merlin years have provided me with fond memories, great experiences and beloved friends and all the while we were supported by a devoted fan base who made the show a unique, surreal and special experience. My words won't do justice to the honour of being King Arthur so I shall just say that it has been an exceptional one and that knowing the show has been a part of so many people's lives, has been humbling."
Katie McGrath (Morgana): "I have always said the success of the show has stemmed from our audience being able to relate to the characters on different levels - being based on the universally loved Arthurian legend is only a tiny part of its success - it's a story about acceptance and growing up. The breathtaking finale of this series leaves you with no doubt that characters have been on their journeys and had their stories told - it's completely the right time to draw our telling of the story to a close."
Angel Coulby (Guinevere): "It has been a very special and memorable five years making Merlin. I feel extremely proud to have been part of such a brilliant show and such a great team. I think we've told the story we set out to tell, which ends with the fantastic two-part finale by the way! I believe the key to any successful show is making sure you leave people wanting more!"
Richard Wilson (Gaius): "Firstly, I would like to say that I'm extremely sad that Merlin has come to an end. Speaking as Gaius, I feel I have mentored the young wizard as far as I can - he is much smarter and greater than me now and I am simply exhausted!"

Gilbert, AZ (PRWEB) December 05, 2012
Photipherals' newly introduced Pho-Reel™ and Pho-Reel™ Plus camera straps provide outdoor, studio, travel or special event photographers more comfort and mobility than a camera sling or speed strap while offering options to create a personal or professional style. The patent pending shoulder camera strap system provides no-slip, hands-free mobility for a camera and additional equipment. Outdoor photographers have hours of comfort without neck pain and the ability to hike with a tripod, multiple cameras, lenses, filters and other camera gear without needing a camera bag.
Many engineering disciplines go into developing Photipherals' camera accessories with a technological edge. The same care goes into making Photipherals products with an eye for detail using quality materials. These featured products are made in the USA.
Pho-Reel™ and Pho-Reel™ Plus by Photipherals offers a truly unique combination of technology and handcrafted options. Photipherals offers personalized and professional branding options with embroidery and optional trims. The embroidered options on the camera strap permit 14 characters and spaces with nine color options and five font choices. Optional trims can go solo or be combined with embroidery for extra bling. Photipherals designers are open to special requests and will be more than happy to discuss individual needs and desires. There is an in-stock line of embroidered humorous phrases with set fonts and colors.
For unique, colorful handcrafted style both camera straps and the Photipherals tripod scabbard Pho-Pod come in nine different color combinations of applique. Due to the unique handcrafted nature of the applique selection, it is called limited edition. Most of the color combinations are gender neutral but some are definitely more feminine. The padded tripod case, designed as a "scabbard" accessory for Pho-Reel Plus also comes in optional matching color accents and appliques. It attaches to the Pho-Reel Plus offering a comfortable way to carry both camera and tripod "always at the ready."
What is the philosophy behind Photipherals products? Rick Beitman, the company's founder explained, "It's about looking at what frustrates me and other photographers. When available camera accessories fail to solve a problem or do not offer the best capabilities possible for the investment, I want to design and create it myself."
"Camera strap neck pain, camera swaying while I walk while trying to carry a tripod—plus bringing my dog along to enjoy the outdoors--led me to develop the Pho-Reel camera strap and Pho-Pod tripod case," said Beitman. "Photography is so personal, so why not have a strap be more personal as well with a monogram, statement, trim or unique applique!"
About Photipherals, LLC
Photipherals, LLC designs, manufactures, and markets photographic peripheral equipment to meet the needs of digital photographers using interchangeable lens cameras to include DSLR and mirrorless cameras (MILC). The company develops unique and patented products that offer benefits in efficiency, ergonomics, power, weight, mobility, and convenience. The company's founder has a strong love of both photography and design engineering.

The following is an archive of a post made to our
'vox-tech mailing list'
by one of its subscribers.
I've done a Sarge net install three times now, and it's quite an experience.
I get a different set of packages even when I choose the same stuff to
download. I don't have sound and I can't print. But I've got some stuff to
read on sound, and will try to take care of that on my own. But the printing
is a mystery.
I can't print from the GUI (Gnome in this case.) At first I could print from
the command line using the command "lpr." But after downloading the Cups
packages "lpr" would not work. What would work from the command line was
"lpr -l."
Later nothing would print at all from the command line or GUI. Then still
ater when I would print from the GUI I'd get this: "%!PS-Adobe-3.0
%%BoundingBox: (attend) %%Creator: OpenOffice." That message would be
followed by either a bunch of gibberish followed by blank pages, or just by
the blank pages.
Now, for some reason, I am unable to print anything. I can't print from the
command line or the GUI. I've also downloaded all the foomatic packages I
can find.
So does anybody have any ideas as to what I might do?
Thank you.

State of the Union
President Barack Obama announced during the State of the Union address on Feb. 12 that he has signed an executive order on cybersecurity. (White House photo)
President Barack Obama on Feb. 12 signed an executive order on cybersecurity, aiming to strengthen the nation's critical infrastructure through cross-sector information-sharing and framework. He announced the move in his State of the Union address at just before 10 p.m. Eastern Time.
"We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and economy," Obama said. "Now Congress must act as well, by passing legislation to give our government a greater capacity to secure our networks and deter attacks. This is something we should be able to get done on a bipartisan basis."
Read the executive order.
Read the Presidential Policy Directive.
Accompanied by a presidential policy directive that updates 2003's Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7, Obama's plans build on cybersecurity measures already underway throughout the government and industry. It also includes new provisions for identifying the most pressing risks, establishing standards and disseminating data on cyber threats.
"It is the policy of the United States to enhance the security and resilience of the Nation's critical infrastructure and to maintain a cyber environment that encourages efficiency, innovation and economic prosperity while promoting safety, security, business confidentiality, privacy and civil liberties," the executive order states. "We can achieve these goals through a partnership with the owners and operators of critical infrastructure to improve cybersecurity information sharing and collaboratively develop and implement risk-based standards."
The order expands the current defense industrial base information-sharing program that has been in place since 2011 between the Defense Department and some private organizations, including top contractors. Under the voluntary Enhanced Cybersecurity Services program, which effectively takes the former pilot project a step further, is designed to exchange real-time threat data and help bolster protections.
"This voluntary information-sharing program will provide classified cyber threat and technical information from the government to eligible critical infrastructure companies or commercial service providers that offer security services to critical infrastructure," the order states.
The sharing of unclassified information also receives a boost in the order, which directs the attorney general, DHS secretary and director of national intelligence to produce within 120 days guidelines for agencies to produce, quickly disseminate and track unclassified reports on cyber threats.
Obama's directive includes plans to expedite the processes for issuing clearances for cybersecurity experts -- part of broader plans to attract and retain subject-matter experts from outside the government.
Among other key themes in the executive order include a focus on a "consultative process" for strengthening U.S. cybersecurity, including the participation of industry, academia, advisory councils and other stakeholders in the development of cyber strategies. There are also provisions for the establishment of voluntary guidance, standards and best practices -- much of which is delegated to the National Institutes of Technology, which is charged with developing baseline framework.
"The cybersecurity framework shall include a set of standards, methodologies, procedures and processes that align policy, business and technological approaches to address cyber risks," the document states. "The cybersecurity framework shall provide a prioritized, flexible, repeatable, performance-based and cost-effective approach, including information security measures and controls, to help owners and operators of critical infrastructure identify, assess and manage cyber risk."
Beyond the information-sharing and standardization efforts, the administration puts into place privacy and civil liberties protections based on the Fair Information Practice Principles. Furthermore, under the PPD, Obama also directs government agencies to review, refine and clarify existing cyber efforts, partnerships and regulations, as well as implement integration and analysis capabilities to help with planning and decision-making.
"This endeavor is a shared responsibility among federal, state, local, tribal and territorial entities, and public and private owners and operators of critical infrastructure," a White House fact sheet noted. "While there has been extensive work done to enhance both the physical and cyber security and resilience of critical infrastructure, this PPD will create a stronger alliance between these two intertwined components."
The executive measures, which have been in the works for months, come as the 113th Congress prepares to again take up cybersecurity legislation that failed last fall. On Feb. 13 Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) are expected to reintroduce the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, a controversial bill that last year passed in the House but went no further.
The president also touched on the looming agency budget cuts, though he focused on the broader economic threats that sequestration poses come March 1. "These sudden, harsh, arbitrary cuts would … certainly slow our economy and cost hundreds of thousands of jobs," Obama said. He called on Congress to "work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings."

HARD SELLS just got harder: those people who phone as you are sitting down for a meal and try to sell you a cable TV subscription can now be replaced by a computer. A new call-handling program called Max not only automates the handling of incoming calls, but can actually make calls as well, allowing "junk calls" to be made at the whim of marketeers.
When Max initiates a call it attempts to converse with the customer, using voice-recognition and speech-synthesis software to convert speech into text and vice versa. The text is processed to generate a response or to process a transaction. The difference between Max and other automated systems, says its developer, Arnold Wilson of Azarn Communications in London, is that it is not passive. Other systems may respond to the customer's voice but need someone to listen to a recording and transcribe the customer's responses.

In June 2008, ARS president Theodore Feder worked with artist Frank Stella to create an Op-Ed for the The Art Newspaper decrying a proposed U.S. orphan works law. In it, Stella wrote,
The Copyright Office proposal would have a disproportionately negative, even catastrophic, impact on the ability of painters and illustrators to make a living from selling copies of their work... It is deeply troubling that government should be considering taking away their principal means of making ends meet—their copyrights.
In July 2008, ARS worked with the Illustrator's Partnership of America (IPA) and the Advertising Photographers of America (APA) to submit to congress a document titled, " Suggested Amendments to H.R. 5889: Orphan Words Act of 2008" The document outlined 12 admendments which the ARS, IPA and APA believe will decrease the potential negative impact of the Orphan Works Act and discourage "wide-scale infringements of visual art while depriving creators of protections currently available under the Copyright Act." ARS has joined over 60 other art licensing businesses (including the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and the Stock Artists Alliance, among others) in opposing both The Orphan Works Act of 2008 and The Shawn Bentley Orphan Works Act of 2008

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bryce Harper returned from an ankle injury to single and score as a pinch-hitter, and Roger Bernadina had a tiebreaking hit in the seventh inning as the Washington Nationals earned a split of the day-night doubleheader with a 5-2 victory Saturday night. Harper injured his ankle in the opener and was lifted after the second inning. The Braves won the first game 4-0 behind Ben Sheets' strong performance. Bernadina replaced Harper in center field and had five hits in the two games. Harper entered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth. He singled, stole second and scored. John Lannan (1-0) pitched seven innings for the win. Braves reliever Cristhian Martinez (4-2) was the loser. Washington snapped a three-game losing streak and lead Atlanta in the NL East by 2 12 games.

A Lacanian psychoanalytic concept developed in various essays, notably "The Mirror Stage in the Formative Function of the I" in 1936. Lacan argues that in very early infancy the child lives in "the Real", a stage characterised by imaginary identity with the mother, and by lack of motor co-ordination and bodily coherence in the infant's own body. At this stage, it is literally riven with the chaotic intensity of its own drives. The infant sense of self that precedes the Mirror Stage is characterised by identification with the image of its counterpart (in French, semblable), a fictional and unified self that is complete, satisfied and stable and usually based on its perception of the mother. The child takes this …

The development of the secondary palate commences in the sixth week of human embryological development. It is characterised by the formation of two palatal shelves on the maxillary prominences, the elevation of these shelves to a horizontal position, and then a process of palatal fusion between the horizontal shelves. The shelves will also fuse anteriorly upon the primary palate, with the incisive foramen being the landmark between the primary palate and secondary palate. This forms what is known as the roof of the mouth, or the hard palate.
The formation and development of the secondary palate occurs through signalling molecules SHH, BMP-2, FGF-8 among others.
Failure of the secondary palate to develop correctly may result in a Cleft palate disorder.
The formation of the vertical palatal shelves occurs during week 7 of embryological development, on the maxillary processes of the head of embryo, lateral to the developing tongue.
The elevation of the palatal shelves from a vertical position to a horizontal one occurs during week 8 of embryological development. It is unknown as to what exactly is the direct cause of this movement is, but a number of possibilities have been identified as follows:
Fusion between the two palatal shelves occurs during week 9 of embryonic development. In this time, the elevated palatal shelves join together to form one continuous structure, with the medial edge epithelium (the shelf surfaces which are closest to each other) disappearing.
The specific mechanism by which the medial edge epithelium disappears has been differed over by academics. The three most distinguished theories related to the explanation of palatal fusion are as follows:

2:50 AM BST: Good morning/afternoon/evening! Happy fourth and final Opening Day to everyone out there. The wait to see Albert Pujols make his official Angels debut is roughly ten minutes from being over, with Jered Weaver taking on Royals "ace" Bruce Chen from Anaheim Stadium. I've decided to try my hand at live blogging the game because it seems like the hep thing to do and to be honest I need some way to keep myself awake. I am currently residing in an outer borough of London called Kingston Upon Thames so while the game is on at sometime between 7-10pm for most of the intended audience, start time for me is 3am. I'm not sure how this will go or what I'll find to talk about but it's sure to be a sad and lonely experience. Whee!
3:00 AM BST: And the MLB.tv feed is up, thank goodness. I've been suffering through the Arizona Diamondbacks broadcast of their game for the last hour and was on the verge of believing Jose Mota to be an adequate broadcaster. I don't know who those guys are or how to describe it, but let's just I'm starting to understand how Arizona SB 1070 got through the State legislature. Terrifying.
3:03 AM BST: Holy shit Pujols is actually an Angel, you guys.
3:05 AM BST: So I haven't really figured out how to bide my time during the blue screen of death commercial breaks. There's always that worry the game will never come back unless I click something or refresh the media player that keeps me from making a trip to the kitchen. I purchased a few things at Tesco, which is like the English version of Walmart but more food oriented, but what the hell does one snack on at three in the morning?
3:09 AM BST: HOLY SHIT NOT PRINGLES. Wow, salty foods are just not good at this time of the night/morning.
3:11 AM BST: And we're off! Not so sure about Wells hitting between Hunter and Morales, but I doubt it'll stay that way long. Love the fact that Yuniesky Betancourt is actually starting. Except for the whole he-sucks-but-makes-more-money-than-I-ever-will thing.
3:15 AM BST: Heard this: Mark Gubizca is under threat of death to speak in meaningless cliches at all times.
3:16 AM BST: Anyone know how to make a backwards K on the keyboard? Expecting a lot of those today.
3:17 AM BST: Royals doing their best to make sure Weaver stays fresh. That was 10 pitches, including a K.
3:19 AM BST: Ice cream. In case you're wondering, also not the best 3AM food. I'm beginning to think I should just stop eating.
3:20 AM BST: Erick Aybar… still dumb. Still not a good lead-off hitter.
3:21 AM BST: Howie is going to absolutely rake this year.
3:24 AM BST: Ah, yes. The fliner double play. Just how I imagined Pujols' first at-bat.
3:27 AM BST: What the hell is a BLT cheeseburger? Is that not just a regular bacon cheeseburger that happens to have lettuce and tomatoes? It must be marketed to the same people who think the Coors Light blue "cold" indicator thing is something they need. It's called the sense of touch, guys, everyone's got it.
3:30 AM BST: Glad to see Trumbo is adjusting well to third base… yikes.
3:37 AM BST: Remember when George Clooney and Benicio Del Toro were set to play Mel and Larry in the Three Stooges movie? Yeah, how did they get replaced by the cast of MAD tv?
3:38 AM BST: My bad. Guess it was Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro. Close enough?
3:40 AM BST: Kendrys Morales doing his best Pujols impression… double play to end the inning.
3:45 AM BST: Alex Gordon is the lead-off hitter? Not sure if this is Ned Yost is being smart (Gordon has a high OBP) or misguided (Gordon is a "table setter" for the RBI guys).
3:49 AM BST: Weaver telling Iannetta to be more like his BFF Mathis.
3:50 AM BST: Heard this: Having a "monster spring" means jack-shit.
3:59 AM BST: Realized it might behoove me to give score/inning updates. Otherwise it might just seem like incoherent rambling or something. Nil-nil going into the 4th. Angels making Bruce Chen look like Roy Halladay.
4:03 AM BST: Tonight's trivia question: Which 4 players in Angels history started 10 or more consecutive Opening Days?… my guesses: Tim Salmon, Garrett Anderson, Brian Downing… and Dean Chance.
4:07 AM BST: FOX spends millions of dollars campaigning for shit like The Three Stooges and willingly hands Frank McCourt gobs of money to run the Dodgers into the ground but won't do a thing to save Arrested Development… Sense: this makes none.
4:08 AM BST: Trivia question answers! Anderson, Salmon, Downing… and Erstad. 3-for-4 ain't bad.
4:09 AM BST: $100,000 Pyramid: "Bruce Chen is putting on a clinic"… Things that should only be said in a hospital!
4:12 AM BST: Albert Watch, 4th inning – 0-for-2, 1 LOBster. Scoreless through four!
4:18 AM BST: Weaver doing his best Kevin Brown, 60 pitches through five innings. Without the Trumbo error it's probably at 55.
4:19 AM BST: Angels advertising for Russian Vodka with Weaver on the mound, Yokohama tires with Bruce Chen on the bump. They do know he's Panamanian/Chinese, right?
4:28 AM BST: You know it's been a slow game when the Coors Light "Freeze Cam" is used to replay an error by the home team.
4:30 AM BST: 8 Ks for Weaver through six. Still 0-0. In related news, my eyelids are getting heavier by the minute. The goggles do nothing.
4:37 AM BST: Yep, an hour and a half later Pringles are still a bad choice.
4:43 AM BST: So if Bruce Chen out-duels Jered Weaver, does Satan win?
4:46 AM BST: Can we develop a stat in where a runner's OBP goes down when they get picked off or caught stealing? Frenchy just got picked at second on a 3-0 count. CLUTCH.
4:53 AM BST: Bottom of the 6th now. The infection is spreading. Most of the crew is lost and I'm beginning to think my time is shor…. whoa. Sorry, guys, wrong live blog…. Chen is finally out of the game. But now we're on to the Royals bullpen which is actually kind of good.
5:03 AM BST: Weaver looking to join Verlander and Masterson with the third dominant eight-inning no-decision performance of the year. Can we just abolish pitcher wins already?
5:06 AM BST: Hey guys, Aaron Crow has a breaking ball. Just thought I'd let you know because the Angels haven't figured it out yet.
5:10 AM BST: Bases juiced for Bourjos. I haphazardly suggest a squeeze.
5:14 AM BST:Â As I've always said, should've put Yuni at shortstop.
5:19 AM BST: Hah! No, just fucking with you guys. Yuni is awful.
5:20 AM BST: And just like that, it's 4-0. Bases-clearing triple from Aybar. Peter Bourjos, who is ridiculous fast, scores from first.
5:31 AM BST: And Scott Downs closes it out with a stress-free 1-2-3 ninth. Pujols goes hitless but the Angels are 1-0! Good night, London! KIT, never change.

Spirit of community helps Marie's coffee morning to flourish
Posted: June 10, 2013|
WHEN Marie Worthington planned to hold a coffee morning to help raise funds for Cancer Research UK, she never thought it would turn into such a big event.
But, with the help of the community, she has managed to gather £1,000 worth of prizes.
And she now plans to raffle them off at an event at the Anchor pub, in Newhall, in a bid to raise as much money as possible for the cancer charity – as well as support them by taking part in Derby's Race for Life on July 14.
Marie said: "It's such a good cause."
The 37-year-old, of High Street, Newhall, said the idea for the event, which is being held on Friday, came after signing up to this year's Race for Life at Darley Park. She said: "Race for Life is something I've always wanted to do but it's never been the right time– I've always been on holiday."
But when she received an e-mail encouraging people to sign up, she did it straight away. She will be taking part with a group of friends.
"We have rallied around to get people on board and are hoping to raise £1,000 altogether," she said.
To help boost her sponsorship, she then decided to hold a coffee morning.
"I was stuck in traffic and was thinking of all sorts of things then thought about holding a coffee morning in the pub," she said.
"It's my brother Rob's pub. He and my sister-in-law, Jackie Sweet, have been great.
"They just said 'let's do it' and it went from there."
She said she has since scoured businesses in Derbyshire for their support.
"I'm amazed at the generosity of people," she said.
"It started out as a little coffee morning but it has turned into a massive event."
The coffee morning will take place from 11am to 1pm.
The raffle prizes include a photo-shoot worth £300, four tickets to Swadlincote ski centre, two premier racecourse tickets and cinema tickets.
"Organising this event is making me feel good, knowing that I'm doing something to help others," said Marie.
"It's also really helped with the feeling of community spirit, getting everyone together.
"Everyone is welcome to come, just turn up on the day."
There will be two races in Derby's Race for Life, at 10.30am and at 2pm. The entry fee is £14.99 for women and £10 for girls under 16. To enter, visit www.raceforlife.org or call 0845 600 6050.
The Derby Telegraph wants readers to share stories about why they are taking part. Call Kelly Tyler on 01332 291111, ext 6103, or send an e-mail to the address below.

Follow some interesting roads from ~7am to about 430pm. Stop at a bar. Get a drink. Tip the bartender. Ask him/her where a good place to eat is. Then ask them where a good place to stay would be.
Check into place to stay after filling up gas tank. Check air oil and important nuts and bolts. Rinse and Repeat.

Armed robbers hit state treasury
On this day in 1865, an estimated fifty desperadoes broke into the state treasury in Austin, one of the boldest crimes in Texas history. The robbery occurred during the chaotic period immediately after the downfall of the Confederacy in the spring of 1865. Gen. Nathan G. Shelley informed George R. Freeman, a Confederate veteran and leader of a small company of volunteer militia, that the robbery was imminent. By the time Freeman and about twenty of his troops arrived at the treasury, the robbers were in the building. A brief gunfight erupted in which one of the robbers was mortally wounded; all the other robbers fled toward Mount Bonnell, west of Austin, carrying with them about $17,000 in specie, more than half of the gold and silver in the state treasury. None was ever captured. The loot was never recovered, although some of the money was found strewn between the treasury building and Mount Bonnell. Freeman and his company of volunteers were later recognized by the state for their service in defending the public treasury, but the resolution providing a reward for their services never passed the legislature.

Mount La Crosse Has Great Season
The long, drawn out winter was very beneficial to Mount La Crosse this year.
Kinda shocking says General Manager Darcie Breidel.
She says since opening near Thanksgiving, this was one of the longest runs the ski hill has had in years. 6 years to be exact. Breidel says attendance was also up this year. Skiing was shutdown for the rest of the season Sunday afternoon.

A macular hole, also known as a macular cyst, is a small hole formed in the macula due to tension on the surface of the retina due to shrinking vitreous. With age, the structures of the eye change. This is true of the gel-like fluid vitreous, which fills the area between the lens and the retina. Over time, its composition changes; its fibers begin to clump together and shrink away from the retina. This is a natural occurrence and usually has no negative effects. Occasionally though, in areas where it is firmly adhered to the retina, it will pull the retina with it. The shrinking vitreous can cause a macular hole when it pulls on the macula.
The macular hole will cause distortion in the central line of vision. Reading will become difficult because lines will appear wavy. If the shrinking vitreous has caused a hole that is the full thickness of the macula, there will be an area of central vision that will simply be missing.
The only successful treatment for a macular hole is surgery called a vitrectomy. The surgery is most successful when it is performed less than a year after a macular hole occurs. In these instances, the macular hole can be repaired, and vision will stabilize and may improve. It is important to visit an eye care specialist as soon as any changes in vision are noticed.

COLUMBUS – The Starkville High School Yellowjackets took control early to defeat the Columbus Falcons on the road Tuesday night.
The Jackets improved to 17-3 by defeating the Falcons 54-36.
Starkville opened the game with a 10-2 run but Columbus fought back to close out the quarter on an 11-5 run of its own when C.J. Scott hit a 30-foot shot at the buzzer.
The Jackets pushed its lead out to 10 points at the break leading 29-19.
In the second half, the Falcons employed stall tactics to keep the game close, but Starkville would not be denied as it applied half-court pressure forcing the pace to quicken.
"We are steadily adjusting to these contrasting styles we keep facing," said Greg Carter, head coach of the Jackets. "We seem to get a fast-paced game and then a slow-paced game. Last weekend we played Canton and Noxubee County and I don't know if you can get any faster than them."
Brandon Porter led the Falcons in scoring with eight points and despite the slow-paced game, seniors Gavin Ware and Jacolby Mobley turned in 16 points each to set the tone for Starkville.
"I really rely on the seniors, they know," Carter said. "They've been around and they've seen it for the last three years. They've been a part of it so they've been around enough to know you've got to be able to play slow-paced games."
The Jackets will once again be on the road Friday as they travel to Yazoo City to face an Indian team that defeated Starkville on their home floor two weeks ago.
Girls Game
Columbus 80,
Starkville 56
The Lady Jackets had a rather rough road trip to Columbus as they came up on the short end.
The Lady Falcons (18-2) jumped on Starkville (10-10) early and never relinquished their control of the game.
For the Lady Falcons, Kiandria Patterson turned in 26 points to lead all scorers while Brittany Brown and Janay Townsel both had 12 each to pace the Lady Jackets.

Real Housewives of New York
Aviva Drescher Apologizes for Stirring the Pot on RHONY
During the recent Real Housewives of New York mini-feud between Heather Thomson and Ramona Singer — which spilled over onto Ramona's BFF Sonja Morgan — it may have looked an awful lot like Aviva Drescher was stirring the pot with her co-stars.
Aviva stepped up on RHONY Season 5, Episode 4 and chatted with the group about the "diss-invite," in which Heather failed to invite Ramona on the girls' trip to London. Now she's apologizing — well, sort of — for her behavior during the episode.
In a new interview with the Examiner, Aviva said "I am so sorry if it seems like I'm stirring the pot. In my real life I don't that [at] all, but I just cannot sit there on the sidelines and say nothing."
Why can't she sit aside and observe? Because drama makes for good TV, of course! According to Heather, it "would be very boring for you all to watch and at this time I'm trying to figure it all out."
Even though she stepped in, Aviva wasn't exactly comfortable choosing sides in the feud. "I had just met these women. I didn't feel comfortable taking a position. I didn't feel comfortable saying to Heather, 'how could you not invite Ramona to London?' I didn't feel comfortable saying to 'Ramona how could you be so mean to Heather?'" she explained.
However, if asking questions means Aviva's stirring the pot then she says so be it, because "if I am stirring the pot I guess I'm doing my job! I don't just want you to see me getting a pedicure putting a leg on my lap, that can get boring after awhile."
Well, she's right about that!
The Real Housewives of New York airs Mondays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo.

San Francisco, California (PRWEB) June 05, 2014
The global market for molecular diagnostics is expected to reach USD 8,020.1 million by 2020, according to a new study by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for personalized medicine and theranostics, and the subsequent introduction of advanced cancer diagnostic technologies are expected to be key factors driving market growth over the next six years. Moreover, the growing global base of geriatric population and chronic diseases such as cancer, coupled with disease triggering lifestyle habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption will positively impact market growth.
Molecular diagnostic reagent products dominated the overall market, accounting for over 50% of global revenue in 2013. Reagent market revenue is expected to reach USD 4,739.9 million by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 9.9% from 2014 to 2020. High consumption rates of molecular diagnostic reagents and the growing number of research and development initiatives pertaining to the field of molecular diagnostics are two key drivers of this product segment. The point of care end-use market for molecular diagnostics is expected to be the fastest growing product segment, at an estimated CAGR of 13.3% from 2014 to 2020, on account of factors such as the growing demand for point of care diagnostic procedures as an effective diagnostic tool rendering rapid and accurate results and the introduction of government initiatives such as CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) waived tests.

At the end of a bleak Tuesday, the dharna drama ended, not with a whimper, but unfortunately with a cough. As Arvind Kejriwal, standing tallest amongst his peers, completed his victory speech, he passed on the baton, sorry microphone, and covered his mouth for his trademark hacking. Sleeping out in the open, Monday night, may have been a TV marketing masterstroke but it was injurious to his health.
TV news, caught off guard by the sudden termination of the "police" protest where the AAP and Delhi Police ironically shared common ground outside Rail Bhavan, initially were with the AAP: "Kejriwal has his way"' (CNN-IBN, Headlines Today) as "Centre gives in to AAP" (NDTV 24×7). But the anchors and reporters were reluctant to hail Kejriwal as a victor: Headlines Today wondered whether this was a "face-saver", Times Now, perhaps in view of the rain in Delhi, called it "a diluted face-saver". Both channels questioned the "victory": two police officers were sent on leave — was that all it took to send Kejriwal home?
By the time the news channels rolled out their big guns at 9 pm, the mood had turned cynical: "Total climbdown by AAP" (Times Now) was the most extreme judgement.
This scepticism on Tuesday evening mirrored the attitude of news TV throughout the AAP sit-in, sleep-in. News channels, arguably the AAP's most ardent supporters — even admirers — since Delhi's December assembly elections, had suddenly turned, like the proverbial worm. From Monday morning onwards, there were aggressive questions and more questions: "Dharna or Drama?" (CNN-IBN); "Do you agree with Kejriwal's politics?" (ABP); "Everyone suffers from dharna" (or words to that effect, NDTV India); "Is this Kejriwal's Lok Sabha gambit," his "new game plan" (CNBC Awaaz)?
Debates on Monday night saw anchors (be it Barkha Dutt or Rajdeep Sardesai) target Delhi's cabinet for taking to the streets and occupying them. Throughout the protest, TV reporters, while faithfully reporting the AAP point of view and the situation at Rail Bhavan, spoke of the "chaos" and the inconvenience caused to the "aam log" by the AAP log. By Tuesday, India TV was incensed: "Kejriwal ke 10 jhoot (Kejriwal's 10 lies)".
From media darling to media villain, Kejriwal was moved to protest, this time about the media: "What has happened to the media? Some are very good but some are playing the politics of the BJP and Congress," he complained, almost petulantly.
The AAP has thus far enjoyed and used the media's unbounded interest in it to its advantage. But while the footage of Kejriwal sleeping out in the open and of AAP members braving the elements and police restrictions was stirring, the plot began to unravel as time went by: restive supporters clashed with police, TV news highlighted the great public inconvenience of the protests and Kejriwal's …continued »

elements, the lions are shown complete or as heads only, in both fairly realistic and highly decorative forms. The gold head of a bull, another dangerous animal, seems almost placid in comparison. The pin decorated with an ibex, or wild mountain goat, was used to fasten garments.

Comments about Harry & David Cherry Apple Pie:
While the pie was a good value, it was very tart even with the sugar added to the crust. Most of my guests left a portion on their plates. It is similar to mincemeat in tartness or flavor, and not at all sweet. Unfortunately my family and friends prefer a sweet pie and did not enjoy this pie.

I was disappointed in this pie. It had a terrible taste. One of my guests asked if there was rosewater in it. The crust was ok. Most of my guests ate some to be polite but left a lot. I would never order it again. First time I ever was disappointed in a Harry and David product. I had high hopes for this pie because it had cherries in it but they were no met.

Last Thursday, students wanted to make sure Duke Energy heard loud and clear that they need to #dumpALEC. So students held a national call in day, driving in hundreds of calls encouraging Duke Energy to #dumpALEC. The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is a corporate bill mill that brings state lawmakers to the table with lobbyists and lawyers from large companies (Duke Energy, ExxonMobil and Koch Industries, for example) and front groups in order to write model state laws. These include widely reported controversies like voter suppression, blocks on clean energy and pollution controls, breaking unions, the S.B.1070 law allowing racial profiling in Arizona, and the "Stand Your Ground" laws involved in the shooting of Trayvon Martin.
From North Carolina, to Pittsburgh, to upstate New York and Michigan, students held events raising awareness about Duke's dirty relationship. University of North Carolina Wilmington student Caitlin Hall said:
"Although the event lasted hours Duke Energy stopped answering calls almost immediately, sending students to voicemail. The only person I was able to talk to directly was a frazzled assistant named Sherri. She inquired as to why they were receiving so many calls about this issue and who had organized the event, probably so they could figure out how to avoid something like this in the future. Of course there's an easy way for that to happen: Duke just needs to #dumpALEC"
It's not only Greenpeace that is calling for an end to this relationship, groups such as Color of Change, Credo Action, Common Cause, and Energy Action Coalition are continuing to call on Duke Energy to #dumpALEC. Take action and tell Duke Energy to #dumpALEC!
Duke Energy is guilty of heavily influencing our political system on local, state and national levels, however students at Greenpeace choose to focus in on one of Duke's dirtiest relationships. Duke Energy has an unhealthy relationship with the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC).
Beyond giving ALEC $116,000 since 2009, Duke Energy employees work directly with ALEC's "Energy, Environment and Agriculture task force" to create model bills. ALEC's anti-environmental agenda includes:
- Withdrawing states from regional climate change programs,
- Attacking state renewable energy standards,
- Obstruction of clean air and water laws,
- Keeping gas fracking chemicals secret
Join students across the country in asking Duke to #dumpALEC!

Investing In Art: What NOT to do!!
The one worst presumptions that people looking to invest in the art market make is that a cheap artwork is a good investment. There are two types of art investment "cheap skates" the first being the person that buys an artwork because it is cheap to begin with and the other being the person who buys an artwork because it is discounted. The fact is that if an artwork is cheap or discounted then there must be a reason that it is cheap or discounted. If you are looking for something to hang on your wall as decoration then a cheap or discounted artwork is ok but not if you are looking at an investment.
Think of art investment as you would your other investments. You wouldn't purchase shares in a dodgy business just because they were cheap and you wouldn't invest in a poor quality bottle of wine just because it was cheap. Its a fact that the higher quality artworks are much more likely to provide a higher rate of return because when it comes to selling the artwork you have invested in, the higher quality artworks will be more desirable. This means that more people will be interested in buying the work and will be willing to pay a higher price for it which will drive the price up. There is no harm in looking for a bargain but make sure that what you are buying really is a bargain and not just a cheap, poor quality work.
If you are going to invest in art then do yourself a favour and wait until you can afford a good quality work before you make a purchase.

Dioscorea (syn. Testudinaria) or Elephant Foot are usually herbaceous to evergreen perennial climbers with glossy, heart-shaped foliage and a showy, massive underground rootstock. The well-known Dioscorea elephantipes (formerly known as Testudine elephantipes) is native of arid regions in southern Africa. Parts of its impressive rootstock are growing above ground level and have a strongly fissured grayish brown bark which gave it the common name Elephant's Foot. Easily grown in any well drained, rather inorganic soil in full sun as long as plants are in leaf. During dormancy keep plants almost completely dry until new leaves appear.
Sow flat in any sandy, preferably inorganic soil, well drained soil at a minimum of some 20°C throughout the year. Keep seedlings only slightly moist. Carefully water in winter and keep at a minimum of some 12°C in full sun.
10 seeds per package.
