Trout Fishing in the Battenkill River
This little trout had started as one of a million fertilized eggs on the gravelly stream bottom. He had hatched. His parents did not eat him, nor did other cannibalistic trout or herons or kingfishers or ospreys. He had escaped disease and winterkill. For two years he had managed to swallow insects and avoid swallowing a worm with a hook in it, and against all the odds he had survived.
Nowadays a wild New England trout, however tiny, is always a miracle. Only a lout would fail to pause to admire one of them before slipping him gently back into the river.
I explored the loop of river between the first two bridges on Route 313 in Arlington on the second day. The sun glittered in a high sky and a sharp breeze blew the insects off the water. I saw no rising trout. I spent most of the day sitting on streamside boulders, watching sunlight ricochet off the riffles. After a few pleasant hours of idle watching and daydreaming, I succumbed to a pragmatic impulse and tied on a pair of weighted nymphs — a pheasant tail, which imitates many immature mayfly species, and a tan caddis pupa. I drifted them along a current seam that reminded me of places where I had caught large trout from Montana's Bighorn and Alberta's Bow Rivers.
For all I could tell, not a trout lived in this Battenkill pool.
Toward dusk I made my way back to the bridge where I'd left my car. An elderly man was parked beside me. He was shucking off his waders. I asked after his luck first, so he was forced to admit he'd been skunked before I did. He seemed cheerful about it. No bugs, no trout, he shrugged. A simple equation. He lived nearby, fished for a few hours just about every day, got skunked regularly.
It happens less regularly to me because I generally don't fish in rivers as idiosyncratic as the Battenkill. I don't like to spend ten hours on a stream without so much as a single strike. It makes me believe that there's something wrong — either with the river or with me. I prefer to blame myself. I don't want things to be wrong with rivers.
I was reluctant to leave. My friend told me that he'd once taken a 16-inch brown trout from the Battenkill. That was his biggest. It had happened four years earlier. I confessed that I'd caught a six-incher the previous day. He smiled. He said he'd had plenty of days when he hadn't done that well.
I removed my waders, took down my rod, and went up to the bridge for a final look at the river. Swallows had begun to swoop close to the water, and few caddis flies swarmed in the air. Then I saw the rise of a trout, and as I watched, I saw two more. One of them appeared to be heftier than my six-incher.
I returned to the car. "There's a few rising below the bridge," I told my friend.
He smiled. "Go catch one," he said.

The tiara, which was of traditional papal tiara design, was designed and manufactured by Henry August and Marie-Etienne Nitot of the House of Chaumet in Paris. Some of the jewels and decoration for this tiara came from earlier tiaras smashed and stolen by the troops of the French Directory in 1798. The great emerald stolen by Napoleon's troops, which had once been on the Tiara of Pope Julius II, was placed on the tiara in the monde.
Tiaras were traditionally in the region of 2 to 5 lb (1 to 2.5 kg) in weight. The Napoleon Tiara, however, was made a massive 18 lb (8 kg). In addition it was made too small to fit comfortably on a pope's head. It was speculated that both its weight and size were chosen to humiliate the pope, who could not wear such a tiara, or if he did, would risk serious neck injury.
In any case, neither Pius VII nor his successor ever considered wearing it for reasons unconnected with its size and weight. Firstly, they saw it as the product of Napoleon's theft as it was made from past tiaras French troops had stolen. In addition it was a "gift" from someone who had driven Pius's predecessor into exile, had stolen the Vatican Archives and forced Pius against his will to preside over Napoleon's coronation. In addition it was made to commemorate the marriage of Napoleon to a woman Rome saw as his mistress, with whom they believed he had been "living in sin" contrary to God's law.
The tiara originally contained three inscriptions glorifying Napoleon. After the fall of Napoleon Cardinal Consalvi, the Cardinal Secretary of State, ordered the removal of the inscriptions.
The tiara, which cost 180,000 francs in 1804, was valued at $50,000 in 1903.
The Vatican later adjusted the size of the tiara to enable later popes to wear it. It was used as the coronation tiara for a number of popes, most notably Pope Pius IX on 21 June 1846. It was last worn in the First Vatican Council in 1870.
With the exception of the emerald in the monde, all the jewels placed in the tiara on Napoleon's orders, most of them originally stolen from the Vatican, were removed on papal orders and replaced by replicas made of coloured glass on the orders of Pope Benedict XV. The jewels were then sold, with the money raised used to aid victims of the First World War.

THE YOUTH of Vea community in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region are venting their anger on the Regional Police Commander, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCOP), Mr. Bright Oduro over the killing of one of their own, Mr. Gideon Azaare Aniah.
Mr. Aniah, a final year student of the University of Education, Winneba, was shot dead last Wednesday when he and other community members came out to protest against a contractor from breaking a rock they regard as a god.
The said rock was identified by Eunitack Services Ltd, the construction firm contracted to maintain and re-enforce the banks of the Vea Irrigation Dam as the only rock with good quality for the work.
But some residents of Vea, with the support of the Tindana (Traditional Chief Priest) protested against the breaking of the rock. The matter was referred to the Regional Security Council for resolution. The committee later resolved that the local people should accept compensation from the contractor for pacification and allow him to break the rock.
According to a source, the compensation which was in monetary form was paid to the chief of the area and not the Traditional Chief Priest who should have pacified the god before the rock could be broken.
Sensing danger, REGSEC on Wednesday provided armed Police officers to provide security to the contractor to break the rock. This move angered residents of Vea and they came out in their numbers to protest against it.
While they were protesting, the police fired warning shots and tear gas to disperse them. Amidst the warning shots, a police officer allegedly pointed his gun at Gideon Azaare Aniah and shot at him. He collapsed and bled profusely. He was rushed to the Regional Hospital in Bolgatanga but died on arrival.
In a statement signed by Asampana James and Baba Timothy, all youth leaders of the community blamed DCOP Oduro as being responsible for the shooting of Mr. Aniah by the Police on February 6, 2012 at Vea.
According to the Vea Youth, some recent events have compelled them to believe that Mr. Oduro had a hand in the event that led to the killing of Mr. Aniah.
They claimed that they are aware that the substantive Chairman of the REGSEC, Mr. Mark Woyongo, who has been designated as the minister for Defence, is currently busy as a result of his new appointment and they, therefore, suspect that the Regional Police Commander cashed in on that circumstance to steer the Council to his personal advantage.
"If the Commander doubts our suspicion, we challenge him to answer why he did not allow the Regional Crime Officer, who had begun investigation into the shooting of Gideon Aniah, to take part in a meeting that took place at the Police Head-Quarters between the Police and the Vea Youth on February 7, 2013".
They are also challenging the Police boss to explain why he barred the Regional Crime Officer from all matters relating to the investigation of the shooting case. "Why has the Regional Commander caused the immediate transfer of the Regional Crime Officer out of the region, at a time such a terrible act by the Police is to be investigated by the Crime Officer?
According to them, DCOP Oduro was doing everything under the Sun to cover up the brutal murder of Mr. Aniah and to portray the people of Vea as a people who are against development.
They are, therefore, calling on President John Daramani Mahama, to as a matter of urgency and in the interest of Justice and fairness, exclude the regional Police Commander from all matters relating to the investigation into the shooting of Mr. Aniah.
They also want the President to empower the acting IGP, Mohammed Ahmed Alhassan to constitute a neutral investigating team, excluding DCOP Oduro to investigate into why Police had to disperse Protestants, with a live bullet, and why REGSEC had ignored their plea for their place of worship and sacrifice be left alone.
Meanwhile, DCOP Oduro has told this reporter he has no personal interest in the matter but only acted on a resolution that was arrived at a REGSEC meeting in Bolgatanga. He also denied taking side in the matter and said the decision of REGSEC was only to ensure that the banks of the dam were protected.
On how Mr. Aniah was shot dead, DCOP Oduro said from the information he gathered from his District Commander in Bongo, the Protestants were pelting stones at the officers who were armed with AK 47 assault raffles. They then fired warning shots and in the process, he was hit and died.
He said he launched investigations into the incident and promised he will not shield the officer who was shot and killed Mr. Aniah.
Meanwhile, residents of Vea who were at the site to protest against the contractor say they can identify the Police Officer who killed their brother and challenged the police to parade the officers who were on duty for them to do so.

The first thing you need to know about this weekend's Japanese Grand Prix is that it is one of those easy-brekkie weekends. There will be no time to try out Nigella's Tuscan Pancetta with pan-fried egg on stone-oven-fresh peasant bread; make it simple, qualifying is at six in the morning tomorrow, the race at seven on Sunday if you're in the UK and you have Sky. If you don't just be up by lunchtime, because the BBC will screen qualifying highlights at one and the race at two in the afternoon.
The first two practice sessions have already happened today. McLaren and Red Bull dominated, Schumacher crashed and Ferrari are starting to sound like they're wobbling, although we'll come to that.
We all know the story now. Over the next six races Lewis Hamilton, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel have to win races to close down Fernando Alonso's 29 point lead over the nearest of them, Vettel. There's 25 points for a win, so it is more than possible (although Lewis, 52 points adrift has the tallest mountain to climb). What will make it tricky is of course the fact that Alonso is always there at the end, in third (15 points) or fourth (12 points), neutralising to some extent the value of a win.
Team-work then is important. Mark Webber and Jenson Button are still in with a shout, on paper at least, so won't be handing points over. That might favour Kimi Raikkonen. Romain Grosjean is not going to be the 2012 World Champion, but Lotus have yet to win a race and it seems inconceivable, if not impossible, that Raikkonen could win the title without troubling the top step in 20 races.
Then of course there are the team dynamics themselves. Jenson Button had apparently indicated to Wing Commander Whitmarsh that he would do the decent thing. But that was before Lewis announced he was changing sides. Was the offer a hollow one?
Meanwhile we all know over at Red Bull there's not much love lost between Webber and Vettel and the Aussie looked on fire this morning setting the fastest time in the second session after Button topped the first. Either a Red Bull or a McLaren will be on pole.
Fernando Alonso's best time of the day put him fifth in session two, but six-tenths behind Webber. And the team is already letting it be known it has rediscovered its old calibration problem with its stylish, but wonky wind tunnel. Concerned looks all round in the red corner. But is this more disinformation? Remember the team's willingness to admit this year's car was a total donkey right back at the start of the season, two races before its first win. Hmmm. We wonder. Sunday should be a cracking race, but the title is still Alonso's to lose.

Telefónica Móviles 'river' by Y&R Peru
Y&R Peru puts mobile phone owners' minds at rest with this latest work for Telefónica Móviles, which illustrates how Movistar numbers are never lost no matter what befalls your phone.
A mobile phone is shown being decimated by the sun's heat, a monkey with a stick and it's own vibrations sending it falling to its watery end.
The moral of each spot is that no matter what happens to the phone itself your numbers will never be lost.
In each spot, the numbers from each phone are seen escaping their mobile to remain intact.

Raja means "royal". Raja Yoga is the path of Yoga that focuses on meditation and contemplation. It is based on the Eight Limbs of Yoga which was discussed in the Yoga Sutra. The Yoga Sutras are built on a foundation of Samkhya philosophy and the Bhagavad Gita. In the Yoga Sutras, Maharshi Patanjali prescribes adherence to eight "limbs" or steps (the sum of which constitute "Ashtanga Yoga"
This Yoga path teaches deep self respect through self mastery. The self here is honored. Raja Yoga believes that the universe exists for the self, giving the self an illusion of centrality which results to self respect and respect for all creatures.
Ashtanga Yoga - The Eight Limbs of Raja Yoga
The eight "limbs" or steps are Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, Pratyahara, Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi. Some yogis categorized these eight steps into two groups. Yama, Niyama, Asana, Pranayama, and Pratyahara comprise the first group. Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi belong to second group, called Samyama. This categorization is because of no cognizance present among Dharana, Dhyana and Samadhi.
Though there is no cognizance to Dharana, Dhyana and Samadh, they are independent of time and sequence. The result is that they exist independently and also exist simultaneously. Any one, two or three can exist at the same time. When the three stages exist simultaneously then it is called Samyamah, the simultaneous existence.
The Yoga of Patanjali is Ashtanga or comprised of 8 limbs,
Yama / Niyama- are ethical obligations.
Asana- Postures of the body.
Pranayama - Control of prana or vital breath. Asana, Pranayama are breath control.
Pratyahara - Pratyahara is sense withdrawal.
Dharana - Dharana is fixing the attention on a single object; concentration.
Dhyana - Dhyana is meditation.
Samadhi - Samadhi the experience of unity with God (Super-conscious state or trance).
Reiki, natural system of healing that brings relaxation and inner peace, which in their turn lead to deep inner harmony, clarity and strength.

The University of Texas School of Law's Criminal Law Association will present speakers Tiffany Dowling, clinical instructor at the Law School's Actual Innocence Clinic, and Mike Ware, chief of the Dallas County District Attorney's Conviction Integrity Unit, on November 19, 2009, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Jeffers Courtroom.
Dowling and Ware will discuss their work on the recent exonerations of Claude Simmons and Christopher Scott in Dallas and what everyone should know about wrongful convictions in Texas. Dinner will be provided.
In 1997, Claude Simmons and Christopher Scott were convicted of capital murder in Dallas County and sentenced to life in prison. The students and faculty at the Actual Innocence Clinic and University of Texas-Arlington's Innocence Network investigated Simmons's innocence claim. Scott was represented by Michelle Moore of the Dallas County Public Defender's Office. The advocates brought the case to the attention of the Dallas County District Attorney's Conviction Integrity Unit, which launched a full-fledged joint investigation with the Dallas Police Department's Cold Case Unit last summer.
The Dallas County District Attorney's Office announced on October 21, 2009, that the joint investigation had resulted in an arrest and capital murder charge against one man, and charges against another man already in prison. The arrests cleared the way for Simmons and Scott to be exonerated, and they were freed on October 23, 2009.
This event is cosponsored by the Law School's Actual Innocence Clinic, the American Journal of Criminal Law, and the William Wayne Justice Center for Public Interest Law.

The UK's third-biggest grocery chain grew its share of the sector to 16.5% in the 12 weeks to September 30, from 16.2% a year earlier, after it put in the best sales performance of the "big four" brands, according to Kantar Worldpanel.
Its growth of 5.6% in the period put larger rival Tesco firmly in the shade in another blow after last week's results.
Tesco reported its first drop in profits for two decades, down 12% to £1.66 billion, on the same day Sainsbury's revealed a 1.9% rise in quarterly sales.

Nina Dobrev (Elena Gilbert) and Ian Somerhalder (Damon Salvatore) spent some time together last month at The CW Upfronts, though it wasn't exactly a happy reunion according to some eye-witness reports. While the two avoided each other on the red carpet, they did have a one-on-one chat that apparently got emotional. "Her eyes welled up. She looked so sad," said the source.

dave, you made my day.
the object files go before the linking directives, so this doesn't work:
gcc -o ohs `gtk-config --libs` -lcdk -lncurses callback.o (other .o files)
but this does:
gcc -o ohs callback.o (other .o files) `gtk-config --libs` -lcdk -lncurses
note that gcc seems to already look in /usr/local/lib for static libraries,
so my -L directive was superfluous.
i don't see anything in the man pages that could've prevented me from
falling into this trap. i guess the past few years i've been "getting it
right" without knowing that "object files come before linking directives for
the wierd thing is that gcc found the static library (i checked -- gcc does
produce a fatal error if it can't find a lib). it just didn't DO anything
with the library when the object files are listed at the end.
btw, cdk is nothing short of amazing. whoever the author is, he did a
terrific job!
thanks, dave!

Though their habitat spanned a large territory, mastodons were most common in the ice age spruce forests of the eastern United States, as well as in warmer lowland environments. Their remains have been found as far as 300 kilometers offshore of the northeastern United States, in areas that were dry land during the low sea level stand of the last ice age. Mastodon fossils have been found in South America; on the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, USA (Manis Mastodon Site), in Kentucky (particularly noteworthy are early finds in what is now Big Bone Lick State Park); the Kimmswick Bone Bed in Missouri; in Stewiacke, Nova Scotia, Canada; in Richland County, Wisconsin; La Grange, Texas; Southern Louisiana; and north of Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA.
While mastodons were furry like woolly mammoths and similar in height at roughly three meters at the shoulder, the resemblance was superficial. They differed from mammoths primarily in the blunt, conical, nipple-like projections on the crowns of their molars, which were more suited to chewing leaves than the high-crowned teeth mammoths used for grazing; the name mastodon (or mastodont) means "nipple teeth" and is also an obsolete name for their genus. Their skulls were larger and flatter than those of mammoths, while their skeleton was stockier and more robust. Mastodons also seem to have lacked the undercoat characteristic of mammoths.
The tusks of the mastodon sometimes exceeded five meters in length and were nearly horizontal, in contrast with the more curved mammoth tusks. Young males had vestigial lower tusks that were lost in adulthood. However, it has been proven that female mastodons had lower pairs of tusks. The tusks were probably used to break branches and twigs, although some evidence suggests males may have used them in mating challenges; one tusk is often shorter than the other, suggesting that, like humans and modern elephants, mastodons may have had laterality. Examination of fossilized tusks revealed a series of regularly spaced shallow pits on the underside of the tusks. Microscopic examination showed damage to the dentin under the pits. It is theorized that the damage was caused when the males were fighting over mating rights. The curved shape of the tusks would have forced them downward with each blow, causing damage to the newly forming ivory at the base of the tusk. The regularity of the damage in the growth patterns of the tusks indicates that this was an annual occurrence, probably occurring during the spring and early summer.
Another influencing factor to their eventual extinction in America during the late Pleistocene may have been the presence of Paleo-Indians, who entered the American continent in relatively large numbers 13,000 years ago. Their hunting caused a gradual attrition to the mastodon and mammoth populations, significant enough that over time the mastodons were hunted to extinction.
In September 2007, Mark Holley, an underwater archeologist with the Grand Traverse Bay Underwater Preserve Council who teaches at Northwestern Michigan College in Traverse City, Michigan, said that they might have discovered a boulder (3.5 to high x long) with a prehistoric carving in the Grand Traverse Bay of Lake Michigan. The granite rock has markings that resemble a mastodon with a spear in its side. Confirmation that the markings are an ancient petroglyph will require more evidence.
Current excavations are going on annually at the Hiscock site in Byron, New York, for mastodon and related paleo-Indian artifacts. The site was discovered in 1959 by the Hiscock family while digging a pond with a backhoe; they found a large tusk and stopped digging. The Buffalo Museum of Science has organized the dig since 1983. It has been called one of the richest sites available for mastodon-related artifacts. The site sits on swampland that was covered by Lake Tonawanda, which was a glacier runoff lake formed over 10,000 years ago. It has been confirmed that mastodons would flock there to eat the sodium-rich clay during one of the last great droughts of the paleolithic.
In august 2008, miners in Romania have unearthed the skeleton of a 2.5 million-year-old mastodon, believed to be one of the best preserved in Europe. 90% of the skeleton's bones were intact, with damage to the skull and tusks.

Hey im a guard and recently i started getting the ball stolem a ton and cant seem to protect it any help?
First take a look at how the ball is being stolen. Is it when you try your crossover dribble? Maybe change directions by going between the legs or around the back next time. Are you less confident against strong pressure? Maybe it's time to really work on your back up dribble to create space.
As an offensive player, your success comes when you can get your defender off balance. For example, when you use your jab step to the right, you're hoping that the defender leans to your right side and goes for the fake so that you can counter and take the ball going left.
The same holds true as a point guard. In the open court, you have to relieve the pressure from the defensive player by getting him off balance. Now, of course you cannot jab when you are dribbling, so how can you get him off balance?
One way is to use your speed to take him hard on the dribble choosing one side. As you go by the defender, he will turn to race to catch up. As he in running to catch up to you, stop and use your back up dribble to relieve pressure while he is sprinting hard to cut you off. As the defender flies by you and then adjusts and comes towards you to apply pressure once again, use your speed and repeat the same movement and go by him, possibly by changing directions. You are basically working to keep the defender off you, while making it difficult for him to guard you one on one. When he goes to reach, use your body ( shoulder and arm ) to protect the ball and draw the contact.
Hope this helps

NEW YORK— Phone booths across New York City will soon have interactive LG touch screens that provides free Wi-Fi, hyperlocal news, maps, and entertainment. It also provides a channel for the government to broadcast real-time news and transit updates.
City24/7, together with Cisco, launched phase one in 10 Union Square phone booths Tuesday with plans to install 250 screens throughout the city. Phase two will expand to a dozen U.S. and international cities.
The public/private partnership with the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications involves no cost to taxpayers. City24/7 pays for the maintenance of the 32-inch smart screens.
Post-Hurricane Sandy, the City24/7 network is providing information about volunteer opportunities and projects citywide.
In case of a disaster, City24/7 provides an emergency communication network, land-line connection, and wireless connection.
In case of a disaster, City24/7 provides an emergency communication network, land-line connection, and wireless connection.
In the event of a future disaster, City24/7 provides an emergency communication network, land-line connection, and wireless connection. It also monitors conditions remotely through a video camera to advise first responders.
City24/7 is equipped with a microphone, speaker, and battery back ups. The screen can withstand extreme weather conditions such as rain, hail, and heat.
"Our network is built on the idea that you should be able to connect and activate information through any device—anywhere," said Tom Touchet, president and CEO of City24/7. "We're excited to help power daily communications to the streets of New York, and to immediately and directly give back to the communities we serve."
Local Events and Restaurants
City24/7 features content from Zagat, Google Places, Roadify, CityMaps, TheaterMania, and local partners and other content providers. City24/7 will also have an application for smart phones, tablets, and Apple products.
"The City24/7 technology provides neighborhoods with a tremendous resource to reach the public," said Jennifer Falk, executive director of the Union Square Partnership. "[It] gives visitors everything they need to know about where they are in a convenient, user-friendly format."
The screens are user-friendly. There is a headphone plug for the hearing impaired, key-fob access for the vision impaired, and the screen can be adjusted for wheelchair accessibility.
The screen can also display multiple languages such as Spanish, Russian, and Mandarin.

Vegetarian Coconut Milk Curry with Noodles
By Shana Kurz March 5, 2013 on Vegetarian Coconut Milk Curry with NoodlesNo Comments
I've spent the last few months perfecting my curry recipe. It's taken work — how much curry spice to add, how to make it creamy and not watery, and lastly how to make it multidimensional, sweet and spicy at the same time. Well here you have it!
Note: Feel free to use white or brown rice instead of rice noodles. Just skip adding the rice noodles and instead pour the curry over rice.
Cooking time: 15 mins
- 2 cans of Thai Kitchen Organic Coconut Milk
- 1 pack of Dragonfly Rice Noodles
- 3 teaspoons of Savory Spice Shop Yellow Curry
- 1 red onion, chopped
- 2 red peppers, chopped
- 1 green pepper, chopped
- 3/4 lb of mushrooms, quartered
- 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons of soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons chile paste (optional)
- salt to taste
In a large heavy skillet or wok, over medium heat, mix coconut milk, almond milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger, and chile paste. Bring to a boil.
Stir peppers, mushrooms, and onions into the skillet. Cover, and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt. Add rice noodles and continue cooking until vegetables are tender but crisp and rice noodles are al dente (about 5-10 minutes).

Want not, waste not.
A single cufflink was stolen during a jewelry heist -- because the thief only has one arm, the Daily Mail reports.
Czech-born Meroslva Balog pleaded guilty to two counts of theft (no, not armed robbery) after being busted for stealing a solo gold boxing glove-shaped cufflink valued at £130 (about $200) from a British jewelry store, according to the paper.
Guess what he lacks in arms he makes up for in sticky fingers.
The 28-year-old thief, who also 'fessed up to stealing a watch in a separate incident, reportedly told the jewelers he was looking for a present for his mother when he knocked over the cufflink display and made off with the trinket.
And while the fact that only one cufflink was missing may have been a major tip-off, the fact that Balog was reportedly caught on the store's video camera really did him in.
Balog was given a 12-month community sentence and 120 hours of community work and was ordered to pay the jeweler £130 compensation plus court costs, the paper reports.
There's no escaping the long arm of the law!

AROUND AD 1000, Gerbert of Aurillac served a brief stint as pope. He was not an especially distinguished pontiff and he didn't reign for very long, yet he is of perennial interest to both academic and popular historians. Why?
The answer can be found in books such as John William Draper's 1874 History of the Conflict between Religion and Science. In it, Draper characterised the Middle Ages as an era of faith, a time when everyone thought that the Earth was flat. Draper may have been forgotten, but his narrative lives on. And that is what makes Gerbert of Aurillac so fascinating. At a time supposedly devoid of science, here is a medieval pope who was highly proficient in mathematics and astronomy.
In fact, the scientific advance of western Europe began even earlier, when Roman astronomical textbooks were analysed in the court of Charlemagne in the 9th century. In Gerbert's ...

BioSource International in Camarillo exceeded expectations for the second quarter, posting net income of $772,435 or 9 cents per share, a 31% increase from the previous year.
For the three months ended June 30, the company reported sales of $5.05 million. For the first six months of the fiscal year, BioSource reported record sales of $10.5 million and record net income of $1.63 million or 18 cents per share.
Revenue was up 55% from last year's second quarter for BioSource, which makes reagents and test kits used in biomedical research.
"We are very pleased with our earnings performance, particularly in light of lower than anticipated sales revenue from our European operations and the adverse top line impact of European currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. dollar," said James H. Chamberlain, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "Even considering these factors, the European operations continued to be profitable in the quarter."

When Valley City State University assistant head football coach and defensive coordinator Gregg Horner found out earlier this year that he had been nominated to received 2012 NAIA Assistant Coach of the Year award, he was humbled but didn't necessarily keep it at the forefront of his mind.
"That, to me, really was the was the end of it," Horner said. "I never really thought that it would go on and I'd end up being named the guy."
Turns out, the nomination from VCSU head coach Dennis McCulloch wasn't the end of it.
Two games in two days at the Dickinson State University Milanovich Basketball Classic yielded two wins for Valley City State University as they pushed their overall record to 5-1 on the season.
In their second game with the Blue Eagles in a week, VCSU's Brittany Lehner led the Vikings to a 61-52 win over DSU Saturday to close out the tournament. Lehner scored 16 points on 5-8 shooting from the floor and also went 6-10 from the free-throw line.

Valley City State University womens basketball coach Jill DeVries has seen the difference a good fan base can make.
"It was very evident a couple of years ago, when we had a full house for the Jamestown game, the difference the crowd can have in a game," DeVries said. "Even when we've been on the road at places like Dordt, they just have an outstanding student following.
"The environment can be such a game changer."
It's a culture that has always been at VCSU for games against rivals like Jamestown College, but otherwise left a frequently quiet crowd.

Apple has secured a patent for its store design, including the rectangular glass facade seen in this mall store. Silicon Valley Business Journal
A software startup called Lightspeed offers an interactive point-of-sale system for iPad that retailers can use so that their salespeople can roam the store to show off and ring up merchandise, even if it's in another location. It's another homage to Apple retail style, although it's got nothing to do with the trademarked design.
While those type of send-ups to the Apple concepts ought to be fine, the fake Apple stores in China and any rivals in the tech space better can now be sued for copying.
After all it was Apple co-founder Steve Jobs himself who first came up with the look and feel of the Apple stores and turned them into retail landmarks. And don't think Apple will let anyone forget it.

Clearly there is a very broad consensus that the U.S. housing market has bottomed. But is the fragile housing "recovery" real or a mirage?
Home Ownership Down
Housing experts claim the economy is improving. Yet in April 2013 U.S. homeownership rates were at an 18-year low, signaling a shift away from homeownership toward rental housing as investors purchase hundreds of thousands of foreclosed homes. The homeownership rate in the United States fell during the first quarter to 65 percent, plunging to the lowest level since 1995, according to the Census Bureau. Homeownership rate is far below the 2005 peak of 69.1 percent.
Homeownership was lowest in the West at 59 percent and highest in the Midwest at 70 percent. Although Americans are still buying homes, tight credit conditions, fierce competition from cash investors and limited inventory are still holding back many homebuyers who are opting to rent.
Low Inventory
Meanwhile, there is a shortage of existing homes for sale. Nationally, there were only 1.93 million (that's up not down from a year ago) previously owned properties on the market in March, down from 1.68 million the prior year, according the National Association of Realtors. That's the fewest since March 2000.
In a healthy market, there's roughly a six month supply. This March, the number had fallen to a 4.7 month supply — a market stacked against buyers. The median value of an existing home rose 11.8 per cent, the most since November 2005, to $184,300 last month from $164,800 in March 2012. Yet most buyers get pushed out of the market by multiple cash offers from Wall Street investors and hedge funds.
Low Interest Rates
A tight supply isn't the only factor slowing the housing market. Some homebuyers are facing fierce competition from investors who can't refuse the Federal Reserve's cheap credit. Many claim the housing rebound is closely tied to the Fed's campaign to lower interest rates, which has pushed down mortgage interest rates to historic lows, making housing an attractive (and affordable) investment. The low interest rates have lured investors of all stripes to buy homes, often for all cash, converting them into rental properties. Yet most wannabe owner-occupant buyers can't qualify for a loan because the new standards are too strict.
Prices Up
Housing boosters claim that the residential real estate market is on an upswing as prices continue to climb. As more buyers bid on fewer properties, prices are being forced up at a rate that might be overstating the market's health. Home prices are rising even as homeownership drops. Prices in the top 20 cities have risen 9.3 percent in the past year, according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller Home Price Indicesthat track home prices in 20 major metropolitan markets. Yet this statistic is sketchy because of high unemployment and economic uncertainty.
The frothy housing news is mixed, however, when it comes to foreclosures. While bank-owned REO foreclosures and short sales are down in nearly half of the nation's states, they were up in 26 states in March, according to RealtyTrac. First quarter foreclosure activity in the 26 judicial or quasi-judicial states combined increased 6 percent from the first quarter of 2012, while first quarter foreclosure activity in the 24 judicial states decreased 44 percent during the same time period.
Some industry observers have warned that the country might be witnessing the creation of a new housing bubble, others have said this is not the case.
Regardless, it's too early to proclaim a recovery.

Frank Lloyd Wright's spirit lives on at Taliesin West

(continued from previous page)
Finally, in addition to the previously mentioned canvas ceilings, the facility uses a lot of glass, though it's not something Wright wanted to rely on at first. He had designed the estate with no windows, only open gaps in rooms, which turned out to be an invitation to all kinds of desert critters. Wright's wife put her foot down, and later Wright claimed that adding glass was one of the best ideas he'd ever had.
Another important idea of his was one he borrowed, and then bent and broke, from his mentor, Louis Sullivan, an architectural giant from Chicago who had hired Wright at age 20 with no credentials but a prodigy's understanding of 3D space.
That philosophy was "form follows function." To Wright, however, the proper way to put it was "form and function are one."
That's why all apprentices and students at Taliesin West are required to cook for everyone there. It turns out the best way to learn how to design a kitchen is to use one, and for anyone whose kitchen was disastrously designed, that idea is sure to make a lot of sense.
It's hard to know how to approach many of the rooms at Taliesin West, but Wright's philosophies are evident in each and every one. Among the most noteworthy are his office, a relatively small, light and airy space with a low drafting table that invites productive work and cooperative energy; a music pavilion where live concerts could be played and where new apprentices had a dinner hosted in their honor; Wright's bedroom--small and spare, but with great valley views; and the living room, a large, open space with a welcoming feel and a lovely fireplace.
Essentially, Wright hated borrowing other people's ideas. The concept of "thinking outside the box" was shorthand for only being a little more original than everybody else. Wright wanted to destroy the box, and that's why so much of what he did as a professional and what is evident at Taliesin West and in so many of his other creations is so different than what anyone else in the world had built.
Even today, 48 years after his death, so much of what Wright built and stood for is seen as simply the best and the standard by which all other architectural design is measured by.
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and am lucky enough to drive by the Marin County Civic Center quite often. Anyone who's ever seen that building--which was featured in the science fiction films Gattaca and THX 1138--knows what I mean when I say that a Frank Lloyd Wright design is worth going out of your way to view.
And that's why I've come to Scottsdale. It was definitely one of the reasons I wanted to do this road trip in the Southwest and I'm very glad to have come here--even if I walk away feeling a little like I will never create anything worthy of Wright's standards.

- Indeed !
- I've had the privilege of touring TW twice; the second time (because no one else was available) guided by a staff architect who had worked with Mr. Wright (as he insisted on calling him) personally. Wonderful indeed.
I live in Minnesota, so aside from a few houses, the closest (big) building is in Madison Wisconsin - The Monona Terrace. I had to beg the rest of the family to stop, but once inside they were amazed that a building could feel so comfortable. We all loved it!

- Not the closest
- Actually, the closest FLLW building to you, from Minnesota, would have been TALIESIN. FLLW build Taliesin in 1911, and lived in and worked on it for the rest of his life. It is located 35 miles WEST of Madison, in Spring Green WI. While Monona Terrace is great and all, if you want to see what FLLW was really about, you need to visit his home, Taliesin, the only place on earth where he could--and did--do whatever he wanted architecturally.

- Taliesin school's death grip on Wright's genius
- Those of us inspired by Wright's work find, alas, that instead of
producing a continuous line of bright and inspired young
architects injecting Wright's genius into the cold Modernist
world the school of architecture at Taliesin has instead produced
just a half-dozen aging, cranky, secretive architects who resent
any attempt by the larger world to copy or emulate Wright's
work. Understanding Wright's thinking on a practical level is
best achieved by reading Sarah Susankah's various books, where
the thought process behind the use of space is broken down in
simple terms. And don't even think of building a copy of one of
Wright's houses for yourself, because the high priests of Taliesin
hold the rights to all the designs and only dole them out to the
wealthy and the worshippers...

- Yep you have to pay to enter the park but they have free trams that take you around the park to different lookouts and all of these are free after you enter the park. So you do not have to buy a tour package if you just want to look at the canyon and take some pictures. Unless you are planning on spending a lot of time there I would suggest just taking your own personal tour of the canyon. http://explorearizonatours.com/grandcanyon.php

Hi friends! Since wrapping up Blogger's Quilt Festival, I've been sewing non-stop. I have a book due in January, and with the holidays nearly here, I'm rushing to finish as much as I can now! Like, all of the piecing.
The way I tend to work, takes over the kitchen table, and I would love to be done setting up and putting away (daily) for a month, while I quilt everything downstairs.
It's a lot of work, but I always enjoy the bits of frantic energy!
Even if I do question my decision when it's time to trim things up. It's not always perfect but it is getting done!
Next June I will be teaching at the Small Town Quilt Show, right here in my little valley! High Valley … Read More »

The report emphasizes the need for health care reform that corrects what HCAN believes is inequality and an injustice.
The report, "Unequal Lives: Health Care Discrimination Harms Communities of Color in New Jersey," explains how the nation's more than 103 million minorities suffer disproportionately in the health care system.It states that in New Jersey:
- The infant death rate for whites is 3.7 per 1,000 live births, compared with 11.9 for African Americans.
- Life expectancy for African Americans is 6 to 10 years shorter than that of whites.
- About 40 percent of Latinos and 21 percent of African Americans are uninsured, compared with 11 percent of whites.
- 18.1 percent of African American adults have been diagnosed with diabetes, more than double the rate for whites.
"We must provide quality, affordable health care to everyone, regardless of race, ethnicity, sex, or income," said James Woodson, Central Jersey Organizer for New Jersey Citizen Action, said at the Statehouse.
"As we build on what works in our current health care system and fix what doesn't, we need to address a long history of discrimination in medical treatment and reorient the way doctors, hospitals, drug makers, medical device makers, insurance companies, and government programs provide care."
"The much lower rates of health insurance and poorer health outcomes for African-Americans and Latinos compared to whites in the wealthiest state in the nation should be an embarrassment to all of us, and a call to action," said Raymond Castro, senior policy advisor for New Jersey Policy Perspective.
The activists said legislation currently under consideration in Congress would offer one of the best opportunities since the creation of Medicare and Medicaid in 1965 to erase persistent health disparities.
The House health reform bill would strengthen and expand programs promoting health workforce diversity, identify key health and health care disparities in addressing prevention and wellness, require insurers to contract with essential community providers, provide adequate grant funding for delivery of preventive health services in under served communities, and designate a new assistant secretary for Health Information whose job it would be to measure, study, and reduce health and health care disparities.
The report also offers the Health Care for America Now Campaign's recommendations to erase racial and ethnic health care disparities, including the call for an affordable benefit package that provides a defined, comprehensive set of age- and gender-appropriate services that promote health in a linguistically and culturally competent manner.
In addition, the activists maintain:
- Coverage should be backed by adequate reimbursement rates and effective performance incentives that promote provider participation, change the inefficient behavior of doctors and hospitals, and promote improved health for people of color.
- Substantial improvements in health and life expectancy will be achieved by addressing the social determinants of health, including a clean environment, occupational safety, safe neighborhoods and access to nutritious food.
- The nation must address chronic shortages of health professionals in communities of color and marginalized populations.
- Congress should implement mechanisms to support safety-net institutions and drive quality-improvement initiatives in all health care settings.
- Stakeholders and the public should be given good data by insurers and health care providers on race, ethnicity and ethnic sub-population, socioeconomic position, primary language, age, gender, and gender identity.

Royal officials said that Kate traveled by car to St. Mary's Hospital in central London. Kate _ also known as the Duchess of Cambridge _ is expected to give birth in the private Lindo Wing of the hospital, where Princess Diana gave birth to William and his younger brother, Prince Harry. The baby will be third in line for the British throne _ behind Prince Charles and William _ and is anticipated eventually to become king or queen. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis)

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - A University of Iowa faculty group says an investigation by a national group into the University of Northern Iowa's handling of budget cuts could have damaging effects on public higher education throughout Iowa.
UI's chapter of the American Association of University Professors issued a statement Thursday expressing support for UNI colleagues after their administration announced plans to close several programs and offer affected professors buyout packages.
The national AAUP has started an investigation into whether UNI administrators violated the rights of faculty members in the process, which included little chance for input. UNI officials deny the charge.
The UI AAUP chapter says the investigation could put UNI on a list of censured universities, which would "bring national disrepute on the other Regents institutions in Iowa" and hurt recruiting efforts.

pizza spinner
1 Attachment(s)
This unit comes in handy for spinning pizza's while working the oven. 1/4" Aluminum round welded into 1/2" Aluminum round and then inset into a spring handle. The tip is an Aluminum rivet that has been hand set to retain the pin. Once the pizza has been set on the cook floor it only takes a few seconds for the dough to crust up enough to use this tool for spinning. Much easier than spinning with the peel.
The original idea for this tool was found from a post that Rob from Illinois had shared. He has come up with a clever idea that is working well for me. During my last pizza cook I was doing two pizza's at once no problem in my 36" oven. Normally I do one at a time.
Thanks Rob, great idea!
Re: pizza spinner
That is such a good idea! Thank you and Bob for sharing that.
Re: pizza spinner
Looks interesting... I had previously seen a peel where the round portion at the end spun, instead of being stationary. For instance, slide the peel under the pizza, pull a handle back causes the metal to turn, or spin and then set it back down and pull out. Hence the pizza never actually moves from the original spot.. it just spins. Alas, I have not been able to find it since. :confused:
Re: pizza spinner
Go figure.. I can't tell you how many times I've searched the same words and NOT found what I was looking for.
YouTube - Pizza Spinner Commercial
Re: pizza spinner
I tool a long metal skewer and bent the tip at a 90 degree angle and it made a great spinner, good handle, and I found it in a camper I bought. Same principal.
