Hey, I'm having trouble with a few of these.
1. x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0
2. x^2 + 5x + 1 = 0
3. 2x^2 - 50 = 0
4. x = 3/x + 7
Those are quadratic equations. It looks like they won't factorise, so you need to either complete the square of use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula is quicker, so I recommend that way.
If ax² + bx + c = 0, then x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac))/(2a).
(Look at the post below for a clearer version of this. My LaTeX is terrible.)
So in your first question, a = 1, b = -6 and c = 3, so x = (6 ±√(6² - 4*1*3))/2*1
This works out to be 3 ± √6.
Your other three questions can be worked out in exactly the same way. Number 4 needs a bit of rearranging first though.
Why did the vector cross the road?
It wanted to be normal.

I get x=9.25 or x= 4.71 for number 4 - can someone check this

Ah, but the beauty of these questions is that you can check them yourself! Simply plug one of your values for x into the equation, and see if it works.
So if you wanted to check your solution of x = 9.25, you'd just see if:

I have read all I can find about breastfeeding. Different web sites, manuals, books, I have tried to learn all I can about it. And the one thing they have in common?.. they all lie. They all say that if you are breastfeeding correctly, ie the baby is latched on properly, it doesn't hurt. It does hurt, a lot, even if the baby is latched on properly. I had the lactation consultant at the hospital even tell me she was latched on properly. I'm sure that if it continued to hurt for the whole year that I breastfed I would say yes there is something wrong with the way baby is latching on. But it doesn't, it only hurts the first few weeks.
To me, this should be very obvious. When you start to breastfeed, you are taking a part of your body that is not regularly used every couple of hours and roughing it up. A lot. I don't care if you have the best breastfeeding child ever, it's going to hurt. You take any part of your body, and suddenly start roughing it up for half an hour every two hours you are gonna have some irritation.
And boy do my nipples hurt. I stupidly thought that since I had already breastfed for a year, and just finished early this year, they would still be a little bit tough and not hurt as bad as it did the first time. Wrong. It hurt just as bad this time as it did the first time. They are still raw and they still got scabs. It still got so bad that it would make me cry every time she latched on. But I believe in breastfeeding, I produce gallons of milk, so you have no choice but to push through. After that initial pain from latching on and starting to eat, it does stop hurting. And after a couple of weeks, it doesn't hurt at all ever. It is already getting better. But right now those babies are tender, and everything makes them hurt.
So here is my list of things that currently make my sore nipples hurt:
~ Toothless gums that occasionally decide to grind instead of sucking. Holy crap, Boston never did that. Thought I was going to die.
~ The water pressure from my shower head. I have to cover my nipples with my hands before I walk into the water. The water droplets are murder.
~ My "soft for your comfort" breast pads. That is just a fat lie.
~ My son climbing up to sit in my lap. There is no room for him when I'm holding the baby, somehow he ended up on my chest. Ow.
~ The baby arching her back while breastfeeding. Please, release your jaws when you are going to arch your back. I am pretty sure that my nipples were not made to stretch up to four inches.
~ Drying off after the shower. Yes, I know you are supposed to just pat them dry and I do. Still hurts.
~ Bumping into things. These things got HUGE this time. I am constantly smacking them into things when I bend over, or ya know, walk.
I have all tried the things recommended to soothe your nipples when breastfeeding. The lanolin, ice packs, heat packs, tea bags, I've tried it all. I don't think any of them really make a huge difference. All you can do is push through it and it does get better. No matter how much it hurts, I absolutely think it is worth it.

Taking a quick break away from the explosive news that Google is purchasing Motorola Mobility, Digitimes is reporting that Apple has upped its estimate for iPhone production during the second half of 2011 from about 50 million units to 56 million units. Note that iPhond production is an all-encompassing term that includes iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPhone 5 production. One source in the supply chain, however, informed DigiTimes that the iPhone 5 will comprise nearly half of all iPhone production in the second half of 2011 which translates to about 25 million units.
iPhone 5 orders for the third quarter of 2011 have been lowered from seven million units to 5.5-6 million units, while fourth-quarter orders have been raised from 14 million units to more than 20 million units, the sources pointed out. Total orders for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4 and iPhone 4 CDMA for the third quarter exceed 20 million units, and fourth-quarter orders have been reduced to eight million units, the sources indicated.
Sources tell Digitimes that total iPhone shipments in 2011 will reach 95 million units.

Every bite brings you closer to a flatter tummy and a healthier life!
The following was given with permission to GalTime by Kathy Freston, author of the book The Lean: A Revolutionary (and Simple!) 30-Day Plan for Healthy, Lasting Weight Loss.
Apples are so common you've probably forgotten how absolutely delicious they are, so pure and sweet and crunchy. There is something clean about an apple, so elementally uncomplicated and straightforward.
I always buy a big bag of apples once a week at the farmers' market and keep them on my kitchen counter as a centerpiece. Nice to be able to munch on the centerpiece, don't you think? I keep them there as a reminder to dig in, and also as a counterweight should I get itchy for a sweet snack. If I'm rooting around for something to eat, I'll grab an apple while I'm looking, and usually by the time I'm finished eating it, my hunger has been sidelined.
We've all the heard the old adage "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." But there is new evidence that this single daily apple has significant, measurable benefits. A major review published in 2008 out of the German Cancer Research Center found that indeed, compared with those who eat less than an apple a day, those who eat one or more had less risk of oral cancer, cancer of the voice box, breast cancer, and colon, kidney, and ovarian cancer as well.
This makes sense given new research from Cornell University showing that apple peels had potent antioxidant and growth-blocking effects on human breast cancer cells examined in a petri dish, and the higher the apple concentration, the fewer the cancer cells. And apples seem to work best against estrogen-receptor-negative breast cancer, which is much harder to treat than the receptor-positive kind.
Related: Study: Could a Daily Aspirin Combat Cancer?
How do apples do what they do?
There are three stages of tumor formation. Carcinogens cause the initial DNA mutations (the initiation stage), and then oxidation, inflammation, and hormones cause it to grow (the promotion stage); finally, metastasis occurs, in which the cancer spreads throughout the body. Which steps have apples been found to block? All of them. Apples not only have antimutagenic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects, but they may even enhance our immune systems to help clear out any budding tumors before they get their start.
But in addition to boosting your immune system, that apple has other benefits that can help you lose weight.
Surprised? Here we go, back to fiber.
Most Americans don't get enough fiber each day to meet their nutritional requirements. It's recommended that women get at least 25 grams of fiber per day on a 2,000-calorie diet, or to be more precise, 14 grams of fiber per 1,000 calories consumed.
However, the average American only gets about 15 grams daily. Twenty-five grams is actually at the low end of your optimal fiber intake, so there's no reason not to aim higher. We humans actually evolved eating more than 100 grams of fiber a day, largely from wild greens. So back to that apple: How does an apple measure up in terms of fiber? Eating just one apple a day (skin on) will give you on average 4.4 grams of fiber.
You know by now that eating a high-fiber diet is beneficial for a whole host of physical reasons, including the prevention of many diseases and a clogged-up colon, but you're not alone if you're unsure what exactly to eat to reach that daily fiber goal.
Fortunately, eating enough of the right foods is really rather simple, especially on the Lean plan, since I'll be introducing so many whole grains, beans and lentils, and veggies into your daily routine. And there will be even more space on your plate for high-fiber foods once you cut back on less-nutritious animal protein (which has no fiber at all, zero, zilch), but we'll get to that later.
Related: Using Food As Medicine
If you're uncertain what 25 grams of fiber looks like, or if that sounds like a lot, consider the ease of incorporating the following into your daily diet:
¼ cup of cooked steel-cut oats (4 grams)
½ cup of cooked beans (10 grams)
1 apple with skin (3–5 grams)
½ cup of vegetables (4 grams or more, depending on the vegetable; some are higher in fiber than others)
As you can see, a single apple is an easy and delicious way to get up to a fifth of your recommended 25 grams of fiber daily.
Again, don't rely on apple juice, or any fruit juices in general, to get fiber. You get all the sugar in the juice, but none of the fiber. Chewing is key.
A 2011 study from the school of public health at Harbin Medical University in China shows chewing may help our bodies regulate the amount of food we take in, and in fact, may cause us to consume about 12 percent fewer calories per meal than if we wolf down our food without chewing carefully.
Not only does chewing well slow down our consumption and give our body time to feel full, but it also assists the body in absorbing more nutrients. There are internal sensors in the gut that tell the brain when we have had enough food with enough nutrients, and when we are sated, the hunger message turns off. The scientists who conducted the study wrote in their paper that "mastication apparently plays a role in the gut hormone profile, which consequently influences energy [caloric] intake."
Another study relevant to our discussion on taking your time with chewing was published in 2011 in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association; in it, researchers found that people who ate fast were more likely to be overweight than people who ate slowly. Good thing that the high-fiber food featured in the Lean plan encourages us to take longer with every bite!
Related: Eat This, Not That! Some Great Advice
The feeling of hunger is very much influenced by hormonal signals, and the hormone ghrelin particularly. I think of ghrelin like the hunger gremlin; it pushes and grumbles for more food. Researchers found that when study participants chewed more, their ghrelin levels were reliably lower after meals. So, the longer food is chewed, the less ghrelin is released, and the longer you feel satiated. Now, that's something to chew on!
How many chews, you might ask? In the experiment, participants who chewed 40 times rather than 15 times consumed fewer calories; but I'd rather you not worry about counting your chews. The point is that when you eat high-fiber whole foods, you must chew. By their very nature, the foods require that you masticate well before swallowing.
And before we move on from hormones, a study at the University of California–Davis in 2002 found that eating fiber causes the release of a hormone in the stomach called cholecystokinin, and that hormone plays a direct role in letting your brain know that you are fine, that you got what you need.
In so many ways, fiber is critical for healthy weight loss. It makes us feel full and satiated, turns off the hunger signal, and it also cleans out our bodies like a powerful internal scrub brush. I have a friend who used to be constipated for a week at a time; she thought she ate well and avoided fatty foods, but she never quite got around to eating fruits. She started eating an apple a day (sometimes even two or three) and now her bowels move twice a day. (Once is just fine, by the way; let's call the second time a bonus!) Her tummy flattened out, her skin took on a glow, and she has a lot more energy without that stuffed-up, compacted feeling she used to walk around with.
Related: Juice Diets: How they Work and a Word of Caution
On top of that, apples are a rich source of a particularly powerful type of fiber called pectin. It's what's used as a gelling agent to make jams and jellies, and in our stomach it can delay stomach emptying through a similar mechanism. Researchers at UCLA showed that by swapping in pectin for regular fiber they could double the time it took subjects' stomachs to empty from about 1 hour to 2 hours, which meant subjects felt full that much longer.
In fact there was even a study entitled "Weight Loss Associated with a Daily Intake of Three Apples or Three Pears among Overweight Women" published in the journal Nutrition. Researchers found that instructing women to eat an apple or pear before each meal resulted in significant weight loss.
Pretty cool, no? They were told, in effect, to eat more food, to add the fruit on top of their regular diets, and what happened was, the fruit crowded out less healthy choices; they ended up eating fewer calories overall and they started shedding pounds.
Other great sources of this superfiber include citrus, peaches, peas, and carrots. So yes, you can have an apple. Or a pear. Or an orange. You can even have two or three. But at the very least, have an apple before the day is done.

State Supreme Court Justice Richard Braun ruled in Manhattan today that Senate Democrats "have not sustained their heavy burden of demonstrating beyond a reasonable doubt that the Legislature has acted unconstitutionally" in adopting a redistricting plan that adds a 63rd seat to the Legislature.
Senate Democrats filed a lawsuit about a month ago after the Senate and Assembly passed legislation to implement new district lines. Districts are redrawn every 10 years following the census. Democrats alleged the Senate GOP, the majority party, inconsistently applied the constitutionally set formula for adding Senate districts based on population growth. Two different methods were used in determining which counties would be combined in districts, Braun wrote.
"We will be appealing today's ruling," said Senate Democratic spokesman Mike Murphy. "We agree with the court's assessment that the Senate Republican's use of two different redistricting counting methods is disturbing and we are confident that the Court of Appeals will see through this blatant, unconstitutional power grab by the Republican Majority."
Senate Republicans said they are pleased with today's decision.
"As Senate Republicans had maintained from the beginning, we were required to add a 63rd seat to comply with the Constitution. We're pleased that the Court decided this case in our favor and believe it's time to move on," said Scott Reif, a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos, R-Nassau County.
Last month, Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed much-maligned redistricting legislation adopted by the Senate, which is led by Republicans, and the Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats. The new maps were drawn up by a legislative task force, a panel Dilan was on. The governor had pledged not to sign any legislation that wasn't drawn up by an independent redistricting task force. In the end, he said it was the best deal he could get, and it includes a provision for independent redistricting in 2022.
This is a copy of the judge's decision:

Daily hours at Saratoga Gaming & Raceway are set to expand from 16 to 20 in a few weeks, the state Lottery Division spokeswoman told me Friday.
Legislation passed as part of the state budget this week allows the New York's eight racinos to remain open for 20 hours a day until 4 a.m., instead of 2 a.m.
Saratoga Gaming & Raceway, the state's first racino opened in 2004, has informed the lottery that it wants to stay open from 8 a.m. to 4 a.m. The state agency will likely approve that plan later this month after resolving some staffing and machine concerns, according to the lottery.
City leaders, who state officials recently denied almost $4 million a year in state "racino impact" aid, do not support the expansion of hours. They feel it will negatively impact the city and its services. It's part of a statewide, indeed nationwide, expansion of gambling to fund government services. Read about it all in tomorrow's paper or on timesunion.com.
What do you think of the move to almost around-the-clock gaming in the city?

New York has become the latest city to introduce a bike sharing programme that offers readily available push bikes to the public. The Big Apple's Citi Bike programme launched this Monday, with thousands of bikes now accessible for residents and those on holiday in New York City.
However, much like London's very own bike scheme, the new programme has been met with mixed reviews. The new service experienced several setbacks in the run up to the launch as the scheme was hit by complaints and lawsuits.
"Like most New York controversies, it is louder than it is large. Average New Yorkers take things in stride. The rest of them complain. And then they file lawsuits," wrote Ashley Halsey III, of the New York Post.
However, thought the new scheme was met with some scrutiny, the launch of the programme was mostly successful, although one bike had been reported stolen at the end of the scheme's first day. People taking advantage of the new scheme tweeted about their experiences using the hashtag #citibike and most comments appeared to be positive.
"sighted: man literally grinning as he pedaled his #citibike down broadway," read one tweet from twitter user @amzan.
The Citi Bike scheme has been modelled off other bikes schemes both in the US and in other countries. Washington's Capital Bikeshare scheme has been a roaring success with more than 22,000 members and around 1,800 bikes in the D.C area, and New York hopes to achieve the same success as the capital.
New York's Citi Bike scheme is currently only available in Manhattan and Brooklyn. Plans to roll out the service to other districts in New York are yet to be announced.

Over the weekend I volunteered to teach a Girl Scout Cooking class.
Rewind…that was Sunday.
On Saturday, I promised myself not to give in to the Girl Scouts at the grocery store.
Butttt…on the way out, I found myself yelling "Do y'all take checks?"
3 for $12 and I'm sold!
Okay, back to the cooking class.
I would love to say that I the troop consisted of girls who were from pretty wealthy families.
Side note: I was never a Girl Scout.
Thank you parents because #1. I would have been obese #2. My parents never had that kind of money on top of all the money they were spending on Catholic education and soccer clubs.
Anyway, the girl's had to go around in a circle and say what their favorite food was.
One girl answered creme brulee.
Seriously? I've never even tried that!
I think my favorite food as a kid was a tie between cinnamon sugar pop-tarts and french toast.
I was shocked when one girl answered "Split Pea Soup."
C'mon! Where do these kids eat? The Four Seasons!?
One little girl finally answered that her favorite food was carrot cake.
I thought…well hello new best friend.
So, on Monday I was craving something sweet.
I know, you're shocked.
So, I smash banged some strawberries up into a carrot banana muffin.
I'm pretty sure there is 1 serving of fruits in veggies in each muffin.
Take that Girl Scout cookies!
One of the snack we made with the Girl Scouts was hummus.
One little girl was terrified of hummus…stating that she had tried it a gazillion times and hated it.
I'm pretty she exaggerated a little much.
I just wanted to take her under my wing and show her all of the best hummus' in the world.
She hasn't lived.

Leadership ResourcesThank you for volunteering for leading activities for the AMC NH Chapter.
Here you will find information and forms to facilitate access to liability forms, incident report, scheduling activities, leadership training, participation by minors, expense forms, Chapter business cards AMC volunteer resources and other information to help you lead successful activities.
Liability Release Agreement
The AMC requires all activity participants to sign the AMC Volunteer Release Agreement. The leader is responsible for having each participant sign the release prior to participating in the activity. Here is the AMC Volunteer Release Agreement(pdf) which you should print out before the trip.
Incident Report
If there is an incident involving someone being hurt or an outside agency (police, fire, etc.) then please reference the AMC volunteer resourses below to determine if the submittal of an AMC Incident Report(pdf) should be filed.
Trip Scheduling
The AMC has a central Activity Database for managing trips, getting them approved, and published. Many committees issue login accounts to their leaders. If your committee chair has assigned you a login account for the Activity Database, you may log in here to enter your trips. Otherwise contact your Committee Chair to add a trip or get an Activity Database account. Once your trip is entered, it will need to be approved before the trip is listed on the web site.
Leaders: To enter new trips or volunteer positions into the AMC activity database
Login Here
Activities are published in the AMC Outdoors Magazine, the Outdoors.org website, and the AMC-NH.org website. Some committees also publish the activities on their websites as well as on their email notices or other networking and/or social media systems. The deadlines for having your trip listed in the Outdoors Magazine is generally the 15th of the month two months before the magazine's nominal issue date. See Word Count Limits and Submission Deadlines for AMC Outdoors for more information. Here is the original notice about the change in the Outoors Magazine publishing schedule in 2009.
Leadership Training
Each of the NH Chapter activity committees has a leadership training program along with a set of requirements to become a leader. The committee chairs can tell you about the training programs and leadership requirements. They are very happy to help you through the process and welcome your inquiries.
The NH Chapter's leadership requirements fall under the overall AMC Leadership Requirements & Guidelines(pdf) but add specific chapter and activity requirements for each activity committee.
Participation by Minors
It is at a leader's discretion to determine if they want to allow a minor to attend an activity they are leading. Further, leaders may opt to allow a minor to attend an activity in the absence of their legal guardian assuming that another responsible adult is willing to accompany and supervise them while in the field.
Regardless of the minors parent attendance or lack thereof, the parent or legal guardian must sign AMCs Acknowledgement of Risks, Assumption of Risks, and Release Agreement for AMC Volunteer-Led Activities prior to their participation in any volunteer activity.
Medical Treatment Authorization Form Option - If an non-parent/guardian is going to be responsible for a minor, the leader may request that the parent signs a Medical Treatment Authorization Form(pdf). This form grants temporary authority to a designated adult to provide and arrange for medical care for a minor in the event of an emergency, where the minor is not accompanied by either parents or legal guardians, and it may not be feasible or practical to contact them. This form should be given or shown to the trip leader and then carried by the designated adult.
If the parent/guardian is not attending the event, the form[s] must be signed by the parent guardian prior to the event and copies presented to the activity leader.
Note: This temporary process will be revised in the near future as this issue is under review by the OLDC.
NH Chapter Activity Finance Report Form
The AMC NH Chapter has adopted a policy that most activities requiring a fee for participation be reported to the AMC NH Chapter Treasurer, and may require completion of the NH Chapter Activity Finance Reporting Form.
Here is the approved policy, or as (pdf)
You may download a blank Finance Report as a word format document(doc) or as a spreadsheet(xls).
Briefly, if all money (fees and expenses) are handled by the Chapter Treasurer or Activity Committee Treasurer, no form is required (since the Treasurer handles this and is audited.) The form is primarily required if the trip leader(s) are balancing the expenses and income themselves without the aid of the appropriate Treasurer, and the total is more than $100. See the policy for full details.
NH Chapter Business Card
Ever want to just hand someone the chapter business card when you meet them on the trail, river, or elsewhere?
Here are the AMC-NH Chapter business cards which you can print out to hand out to people. You can print them on Avery 5371 (2" x 3.5") business card stock (or plain 8.5x11 paper) and put them in your wallet. If you need a large number, contact your committee chair or the membership chair.
This file includes instructions for printing and two optional back sides.
One backside includes a list of activities we do.
The other backside is a template for customizing with your personal name, activity, and email:

KNOXVILLE (WVLT) -- Some of Knoxville's biggest sports figures were inducted into the Greater Knoxville Sports Hall of Fame Thursday at the Knoxville Convention Center.
One of Georgia's biggest names was the first to congratulate them.
Longtime Georgia football coach Vince Dooley was the keynote speaker at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Dooley is the father of new Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley.
The elder Dooley said he was honored to speak to the inductees. He said he was proud of his son's accomplishments in the coaching profession, but didn't give Derek any advice because the younger Dooley already knows what it takes to win in the SEC.
The inductees were:
Carolyn Peck
John Cooper
Bill Higdon
Austin Denney
Carmen Foster
Jerilynn Harper Carroll
Jim Kerr
Dirk Pohlmann

We have problems and shooting the messenger won't solve them
Tuesday March 29 2016
I should have woken up on Saturday to the cool mountain air, the rustling of the leaves, chirping of the birds and the mooing of the cows.
Instead, my Easter reverie was rudely interrupted by the #ArrestNdii hashtag that was noisily trending all over Twitter.
So what crime had the sometimes controversial Saturday Nation economic policy analyst David Ndii committed? Whose goat had he eaten?
Whom had he killed? What genocide had he incited? What ethnic flare-up had he stirred? How much in public funds had he looted?
None of the above. In fact, he had committed absolutely no crime known in Kenyan law.
Dr Ndii had merely expressed views that were anathema to the typical Jubilee coalition supporter, for whom independent thought must be treasonable.
I do not know who started that particular hashtag, but it reflected the usual knee-jerk reaction from Jubilee jingoists who have never read and understood the Constitution of Kenya and treat every viewpoint contrary to the official line as a heresy that must be punished, even if by criminal extra-judicial means.
Dr Ndii's reke tumanwo (let us part ways) piece was sure to be objectionable.
The proposal that Kenya split up into ethnic components since it had failed to become a unitary nation was provocative and bound to generate a great deal of angst.
So was the prediction that Kenya risked yet another violent conflagration come 2017 should President Uhuru Kenyatta be again declared the winner of a sham election.
Dr Ndii set out to provoke and incite, and he certainly succeeded. But this must be viewed in terms of provoking debate and inciting thought rather than ethnic and political conflict.
The plain fact is that Kenya could be heading towards a precipice if urgent steps are not taken ahead of the next elections to repair a fractured and divided society.
This country could be setting itself up for another round of post-election violence unless the broken and dysfunctional institutions vital to a well-managed, free and fair election are first fixed.
A democracy is only as good as how competently and fairly it manages elections and adjudicates any disputes that may arise.
Right now we have an Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission that almost nobody trusts to be a competent and unbiased referee.
This is not about the almost ritualistic early warnings from opposition leader Raila Odinga's band of supporters that any poll not favourable to them will be rejected.
It is about a polls body that has in successive general elections been unable to deliver an election that even the losers have no option but to concede defeat.
It is about a blundering institution in which a bloated commission has usurped the role of a professional secretariat and assumed duties and functions best left to those with the requisite management and professional training and skills.
The result has been criminal incompetence that ultimately has compromised the outcome of the elections.
Incidentally, both Mr Odinga's Cord and President Kenyatta Jubilee brigades agree that the IEBC cannot be trusted to competently manage the polls. The only disagreement is on what should be done to either reform or reconstitute the electoral body to ensure a competent and neutral arbiter.
Then there is the issue of a broken political culture built on ethnic hatred rather than policies, programmes and ideologies.
The fact of the matter is that we invest our hopes in ethnic warlords rather than in national leaders.
Neither President Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto, nor Cord leaders Odinga, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Moses Wetang'ula are national leaders and patriots.
They are simply leaders of ethnic political formations who thrive on mobilising their communities and groupings against others.
They play up the ethnically divisive "tyranny of numbers" and "41 versus 1" stratagems and thereby prime their supporters to hate and demonise other Kenyans as enemies to be isolated and neutralised.
Now, when somebody points out the dangers we face approaching the elections under such a dangerous culture, some idiots call for his arrest.

PLAINS TWP. — Something wasn't right.
When Christopher Sywensky returned to his mother's room at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center on Dec. 18, the man he encountered was acting strangely, he said.
His mother, Laurel J. Sywensky, 60, of Coplay, lay in bed dying of cancer after having been admitted earlier that day, he said. He stayed a while longer and then went to adjust the gold crucifix around her neck before leaving.
It was gone.
Veterans Affairs police on Tuesday got a warrant for the arrest of 42-year-old nurses' aide Warren Thomas Wells, of 202 Bear Brook Acres Drive, Moscow, on charges of robbery, receiving stolen property and theft.
Sywensky said he is disgusted by the theft.
"The guy's preying upon the sick and dying, and making things worse for the families," Sywensky said. "I was already grieving that my mom was dying, and then this creep comes by and he just steals it right off her neck while she's sleeping. That's terrible. It's an awful thing."
VA police say they were dispatched to the Community Living Center about 5:30 p.m. on Dec. 18 after Sywensky reported his mother's 14-karat gold crucifix was missing.
He said in an interview Wednesday that he at first hoped the necklace, which he bought for her years ago, had simply been misplaced.
But he soon realized it had been stolen while he stepped out for a smoke break, he said. He came back and found a nurses' aide outside the room.
"It was weird because he just wanted to talk to me and console me," Sywensky said. "He was real friendly, but he was like kind of weird. Something just didn't strike me normal about this guy."
A few hours later he went to adjust the crucifix, but it was gone, he said.
Police say they searched Sywensky and the room, but were unable to find the necklace.
Laurel Sywensky, a post-Vietnam War Army veteran, died early the next morning. Sywensky said he had to buy her a new crucifix for her burial.
"I know my mom wanted that to be with her," he said.
According to a police affidavit, investigators learned that Wells had sold a gold chain with a crucifix at J.B. Jewelers in Scranton the same day as the theft. The business took a copy of his driver's license and signature before paying him $100 for the necklace, which police say was worth about $360.
Sywensky identified the necklace as the one stolen from his mother, and it was seized as evidence, according to police.
Police filed charges of robbery, receiving stolen property and theft against Wells on Tuesday. He is awaiting a preliminary hearing, court records show.
Wells did not immediately return a message left at his home Wednesday morning.
A VA hospital spokeswoman was checking into Wells' status at the hospital.

The motorhome is still parked at VFW Post #8874 in Los Alamos. I expect to depart tomorrow.
Yesterday I drove the Bronco the about six miles to an ancient Pueblo Indian site called Tsankawi (sank-ah-WEE), an undeveloped and unexcavated detached portion on Bandelier National Monument where they lived in rock caves.
To get a better understanding about these people you should click this Wikipedia informational link… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsankawi
The volcanic rock here is called soft tuff and is almost like a hardened mud with very gritty sand. As a rock it is soft, so after centuries the footpaths have worn into the rock. As you look at today's photos, look for what might be called "canals" worn into the rock, sometimes several feet deep.
The interesting thing about this national monument is rather than walking on asphalt walkways, you are allowed to walk on the actual trails walked on by these ancient Indians. I walked a 1.5 mile loop trail to get these photographs.
I'm coming to find that when I photograph "old things", I prefer using the watercolor mode on my camera…
As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

Slumdog Millionaire beauty Freida Pinto is tipped to swing into the new "Planet of the Apes" movie as James Franco's leading lady.
The "Spider-Man" hunk is the star of the latest installment in the sci-fi series, "Rise of the Apes", which will be a prequel to the franchise's previous monkey movies.
Pinto has now signed on to play primatologist Caroline, with funnyman John Lithgow drafted in to play Franco's onscreen father, according to Variety.
The new film is the latest re-imagining of the original 1968 sci-fi classic; Mark Wahlberg was the lead in Tim Burton's 2001 remake.

aka 'Evan Saul'
Orange Coneflower
"The girls were busy with their flowers,
Whiling away the pleasant hours."
-from Esther (1865)
by Jane Elizabeth Holmes
"Bumblebees come,
Hover, hesitate,
Drink, & are gone."
-Emily Dickinson
The pair of photos placed at the immediate right are portraits of blossoms on the same clump of 'Sundown' echinacea, photographed the same day.
The color on the furthest-right is more typical, but throughout its flowering weeks it'll be a mite unpredictable. I was only surprised to see two of the blooms so very different in the same moment, rather than a couple weeks apart.
That pair of photos is from their first flush of flowering, early in July. The first & third photos show the flowers in their more ideal color. The fourth photo shows the same cultivar as it looked late May & early July much more to the orange side than the purply-pink, & the last photo shows the orangish & the purple blooms on a single branching stem.
Obviously the color isn't all that stable, nor even the form, since it produces frilly overlapping petals, then a single row of non-overlapping petals, all on the same clump within a month's time.
This clump will continue to flower right up to October. First frost often isn't enough to stop a happy echinacea, as which won't want to believe it's really all that cold.
'Sundown' (or 'Big Sky Sundown,' because the cultivar series was named 'Big Sky') is the second orange coneflower developed by ItSaul Plants. The first one was 'Sunset' (or 'Big Sky Sunset'), which has been discontinued in favor of 'Sundown,' & even 'Sundown' is bound eventually to be discarded in favor of an improved cultivar at some point, since it still needs a more stabilized color.
There are even dissatisfied gardener reports that 'Sundown' is an inferior plant its second year & really only exciting as "dressed" for market (typically over-fertilized). This hasn't been my experience at all, & when they fail, it's possibly the fault of assuming they're as drought-hardy as the species (they are not), or a problem of low pH soil, as several of these hybrid coneflowers get scruffy or even die if pH plummets.
A light mulching of the echinacea beds, late in autumn, with well-composted chicken manure, or with leafmold, will keep the pH high. I've found 'Sundown' unusually hardy, but in the past I've tried to establish some of them in harsher gardens where the old standard 'Magnus' thrives, & soon realized you just can't push their hardiness very far.
'Sundown' & 'Sunset' not only have confusingly similar names, but they look rather alike, though 'Sundown' is on average a bit taller (but still compact at three feet or a mite more) with larger leaves, with flowers a bit smaller than 'Sunset.'
Of the two, I rather liked 'Sunset' a mite better (though who can help liking all the new-millenium echinaceas). However, 'Sundown' is more swiftly developed for market, so that 'Sunset' is being displaced, most growers discontinuing it.
'Sundown' is a registered trademark name, & its actual registered cultivar name is 'Evan Saul,' after the son of Richard Saul of the Saul Brothers Nursery, Atlanta, Georgia.
Sundown/Evan Saul is a cross of E. purpurea with E. paradoxa. It was released in 2005 along with the pale yellow 'Sunrise' which is usually a little shorter with slightly larger flowers.
As 'Sundown' was only crossbred in 2002, & the best offspring chosen for tissue-culturing in 2003, it was truly rushed to market only three years after its invention, there having been no question at all of its inevitable public appeal.
Most echinaceas have reflexed petals but 'Sundown' blossoms have horizontal petals or only very slightly drooped. It is both floriferous & long-flowering. It blooms at least from July to October, sometimes longer, holding its excellent color throughout its long bloom time.
It is cold-hardy & heat hardy in zones five through eight, potentially stretchable to zones three & ten with protection at the extremes. It is not, however, quite as drought-hardy as "regular" echinacea & will want regular watering in long dry summers, though it can dry out briefly between waterings. Perfect drainage is a must, however, as echinaceas are nearly unkillable except when they often have wet feet.
Echinaceas are very appealing to bees & butterflies, suited to both the butterfly garden & the cutting garden. The ripened seedheads attract finches which will cling to a stem pecking seeds from autumn cones.

Hard times are upon us, but not all of us are affected equally. The richest among us are doing rather well—getting relatively richer, in fact. According to one recent study, 93 percent of all income gains in 2010 went to the top 1 percent. But the rest of us, the 99 percent hailed by the Occupy Wall Street movement, are suffering in different ways, to different degrees. The poorest and least privileged have been hit the hardest, by the escalating poverty rate and by the dismantling of the social safety net. Meanwhile, the American middle class is learning a shocking lesson in neoliberal economics as they face downward mobility, home foreclosures, stubbornly high unemployment rates and unsustainable levels of personal debt. And it's not just our markets that are broken. All across the country, citizens are waking up to the reality that the political system is rigged for the 1 percent and that their voices are increasingly absent from the national debate, drowned out by corporate power and the interests of the economic elite.
And so it is among LGBT/Q populations and organizations as well. The agendas of mainstream organizations have been moving forward—the call for inclusion of gays in the military, the gay marriage movement, and the push for gay representation in corporate media have all experienced significant successes. This agenda has achieved primacy by hewing to two tactics. The first is to shrink the field of LGBT/Q politics so that it only represents a narrow strand of liberal identity politics, one that only recognizes immediately and exclusively "gay" issues as legitimate and that sees formal, legal equality as the end goal. The second is to argue that increasing lesbian and gay representation in dominant institutions lifts all queer people—call it the trickle-down theory of gay rights.
Meanwhile, queer immigrants, homeless youth, unemployed and impoverished transgender workers, and queers of color are getting hit even harder since the 2008 crash. This great divergence makes it more than clear—the time has come to change the agenda of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer politics in the United States. The agenda of the mainstream organizations has shifted away from the broad array of issues facing queer populations to focus primarily on marriage, military, and markets. These goals align too neatly with those of social and economic conservatives: seeking to join rather than critique and contest the inequalities and injustices of the privatized family, the imperial state, and the neoliberal market.
A New Queer Agenda proposes a new set of issues for a revitalized queer movement with a global democratic vision, reaching across lines of race, ethnicity, gender and gender expression, class, religion, and nationality. Though this collection focuses on issues and politics within the United States, and especially in New York City, this local/national context does not define the political horizon of the agenda we propose. Rather, this context reflects the primarily local character of the grassroots queer activism outlined here—a network of local organizations (like Queers for Economic Justice, listed in the introduction and in an appendix to this collection) that we hope to connect to efforts across the United States and around the world. The goal of this issue of The Scholar and Feminist Online is to forward the process of forging active transnational collaborations among queer progressive and left projects.
The writers of the essays, documents, and interviews collected in this volume are all activists from across the country; they are visionary thinkers who are community organizers, journalists, social workers, writers, academics, lawyers, advocates, and counselors. Most of them have worked with the nonprofit Queers for Economic Justice (QEJ)—either as staff, board members, volunteers, or as colleagues at other social justice organizations with whom QEJ has worked closely. All of them share QEJ's vision of seeking common ground and coalition with the full range of social justice organizations, rather than trying to determine what is a specifically "gay" issue.
Some of the essays contained here focus on issues that the mainstream LGBT movement has prioritized over the past decade—marriage, hate crimes, antidiscrimination laws, and gays in the military. These essays explore both the strengths and limitations of that work. Most of the essays here examine the issues that have been largely missing from the current "gay agenda." They address those "other" issues that affect the 99 percent—economic justice, housing, health care, welfare, immigration, sexual liberation, aging, disability, gender identity and expression, HIV/AIDS, rural and urban community organizing, public space, sex work, drugs, crime, policing and prisons, reproductive rights, racial injustice, and more.
The essays in A New Queer Agenda are deliberately varied in structure, style, and tone. We believe that some of the most important visions for queer politics today are emerging within activist, on-the-ground contexts, where busy organizers seldom have the time or resources to publish their ideas. Thus many of the essays in this collection are by first-time authors. Others are by much-published academics, journalists, attorneys, and public intellectuals. As a result, some of the following contributions are straightforward policy recommendations, and some are reflections on the history and state of the movement. Some of the essays are interviews with important figures in our movements, and some of them are explanations of important recent documents created by our movements (which are included here in this journal issue). Some of them offer thoughtful theoretical analysis, and others are more practical "how-to" guides. The common thread throughout all of them is an exploration of the ways in which economic, gender, and racial justice can, and should, be more centralized in the work of the LGBT movement.
The authors, interviewees, essays, and documents in this journal issue reflect the state of the real queer movement—the grassroots organizations and activists at work over the past decades, mostly at the local, state, or transnational rather than national level, working to address the barriers to full participation in public life. Each essay, interview, and document constitutes a snapshot of a moment in political organizing at the start of the twenty-first century. Our collection of them here is an effort to connect the dots, and to bring all the local efforts into dialogue and full global visibility.

Darius Nichols is glad to be reprising his role as Hud in the Broadway Revival of the American Tribal Love-Rock Musical "Hair."
The production will play at Heinz Hall from Feb. 15-20. It is being presented by PNC Broadway Across America and the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust.
|'HAIR' NATIONAL TOUR, THE COMPANY. (Photos by Joan Marcus)
"I had to create a story for him and bring a lot of humor to him because he is so angry," explained Nichols who previously played the role on Broadway. He has been playing the role off and on for about three years. "Even though he's outspoken, he's been hurt so that's why he speaks out. He challenges people to look at their racial views and people are not endeared to him at the beginning of the show.
"Hair" tells the story of a group of young Americans searching for peace and love during the Vietnam era.
"People are constantly searching for peace and love still, but other things are around like bullying. Kids are being bullied because they are different and bullies are doing it because they are searching for love," he said.
Hair was the brainchild of James Rado and the late Gerome Ragni who wrote the book and lyrics. The pair was trying to interest Broadway producers in the show, but no one wanted to touch it.
The sound and essence of the show was foreign compared to anything that was on Broadway at the time: a tribe of hippies singing—sometimes profanely—about their dreams, fears, and concerns-not to mention sex and drugs—was not commonplace on the Great White Way.
Those are the reasons Rado and Ragni wanted to bring the concept to the stage.
"We wanted to reach the uptown crowd and shake things up. The subject matter was unlike anything that had been done on Broadway," Rado said.
The original Broadway production of "Hair" played 1750 performances and ran for more than four years.
It won the 2009 Tony Award for Best Musical Revival and is currently playing on Broadway where it earned the Drama Desk, Drama League and Out Critics Circle Awards for Outstanding Musical.
The Revival of "Hair" is different from the original Broadway production, which was different from the off-Broadway production of the show at New York's Public Theater.
"The idea was to write a show about hippies, about the peace/love movement," Rado said. "The hippie movement was largely a White movement, but we wanted to have an integrated cast so we decided to bring in Black characters and address the Civil Rights aspects of the day. We found the theater of the streets so exciting that we wanted to bring it to the stage."
Nichols, who hails from Virginia, feels that the musical resonates so much with audiences and critics alike because of the relevance of the musicals themes.
"There are a few parallels with the wars. It's great that we've taken a huge leap with minority rights and women rights, but there are things that we still need to conquer," he said.

As far as some Georgia residents are concerned, T.I. is the real Santa Claus.
Related: T.I. Boycotts Atlanta Restaurant Over Discrimination Claims
The rapper spent Christmas Eve spreading holiday cheer in a local area Target, paying for everything being picked out by moms doing last-minute shopping.
The 37-year-old rapper asked that all of the single mothers in the store meet him by the electronics area because he wanted to buy their kids' presents.
"Hey hey hey hey, all single moms, all single moms," T.I. called out in the store as he walked in. "Get the gift for your children meet me in the back."
In just 30 minutes, this hip-hop Santa spent $20,000 dollars for the fortunate moms in the store.
Eager to spread that Christmas cheer even further, T.I. stopped by a local daycare center to pass out toys, gifts and necessities like diapers and baby products.
The rapper hung out and spent time with the kids, posing for selfies and giving hugs.
It's clear that T.I. was definitely on the "nice" list this year.
Wish I could've came earlier,stayed longer & done more for more people. ( @delta got in our business) But still I'm blessed to be able to do anything I can for those in need. Merry Christmas to everyone who helped me thumb through 20k in 30mins. If I missed you... I'll catch up with you next year!!! Happy Holidays to all of you!!!! From me and mines, to you and yours...

Photos from the early twentieth century recall an era when the capital was more like a village – and the menfolk wore moustaches.
An exhibition of images by Aleksandar Aca Simic, the man regarded as Serbia's first photojournalist, offers a glimpse of a bygone era in Belgrade. But while the historic and artistic worth of the pictures is beyond doubt, their presentation is disappointing.
The exhibition of about 100 black-and-white photos, entitled The Belgrade Nomad, is divided into five sections. Three of these – Reportage, War and City – cover the period between the late 1920s and early 1940s, when Simic was a photographer at Politika, the Belgrade-based daily newspaper. The Changing City section presents photos from the period after World War II.
The exhibition is drawn from the hundreds of images that Simic sold to the Belgrade City Museum in the 1960s.
The first of the three rooms contains large portraits of the man himself, along with information about his life and work.
Although the exhibit is in Serbian, you have no need to feel ashamed if your comprehension is not up to scratch. The text that accompanies the images is so dense that even a native speaker of the language would have trouble following it.
The first room leads into a dark space, where a series of photos are presented in the form of a 15-minute video. This appallingly edited film zooms in and out of the photos so fast that it is impossible to focus on the details.
One photo of a Belgrade actress from the 1920s is adapted so that she appears to blink twice as her image rolls from one end of the screen to the other.
The video is set to the music of the American composer, George Gershwin. The soundtrack is initially unrecognisable – perhaps because of the quality of the speakers, or because the performance is so poor.
Speaking of music, it remained a mystery to me why the duo which performed at the opening of the exhibition only sang English and American songs. Surely a display of photos from Belgrade's past afforded a good opportunity to perform music from the city's substantial heritage?
After the long introductory sentences on the black walls of Room One and the infamous video, you enter the main exhibition space.
This is a relatively large, well-lit room with black-and-white photographs on the walls and tables.
The exhibition begins in earnest with the Reportage section. Belgrade comes across as a true hub of the southern Slavic nations, judging by images of students protesting against Italian policies in 1926, or of a Dalmatian admiral holding the flag of the Royal Yugoslav navy. The scenes also show that Yugoslavia before World War II was a functioning country.
It is difficult not to notice the fashions of the time, with the obligatory moustache giving a burlesque appearance to even the manliest of men.
Older visitors at the opening were particularly keen to pinpoint the exact locations displayed in the photos. Groups of men and women, with an average age of around 60, argued over where pictures had been taken and how much of the old architecture still remained.
The evolution of the Belgrade landscape can best be seen in the sections entitled City, and Changing City. According to curator Darko Ciric, the exhibition tries to show how the appearance and character of the capital "changed from that of a large Oriental village to a modern city".
Ciric added that while Simic frequently focused on new architecture in his early years, later in his career he also took photos of a "Belgrade which was slowly disappearing – thus preserving the memory of the former buildings for future generations".
The People section is particularly moving, as it shows the immense poverty of street-cleaners, roadside booksellers, market porters and workers. Here you can also see another of the exhibition's weaknesses – good photographs need space to breathe and it is almost a crime to place them so close to each other.
For instance, I would have completely missed the witty image of the Belgrade Opera football team in the sea of photos, had I not been alerted to it by another visitor.
Another jewel of the exhibition, hidden among five photos on a similar theme, dates back to the 1920s and shows a woman in traditional Serbian costume holding a telephone. The childish joy on her face suggests she may be using the machine for the first time.
The exhibition is accompanied by a 300-page catalogue, which covers Simic's entire body of work. The book is printed on poor-quality paper and again compresses an abundance of good photographs into a very limited space –truly a pity. Printing one photo per page would have made the quality of Simic's work more apparent. The producers, however, seemed keen to serve an audience that wanted to see as much of the former city as possible.
This is the first regular exhibition by the Belgrade City Museum in the building of the former Military Academy. The show is a good opportunity to take a peek at this impressive building.
The Belgrade Nomad can be seen at Resavska 40b until November 15th.
As organised thieves target Montenegro's marine heritage, an investigation by CIN-CG/BIRN reveals that no one is being held accountable for this pillage - and the government has failed to protect these sites from devastation.
Kosovo needs to step up its campaign to ensure the return of important cultural artefacts that were removed before, during and after the war, and are now being kept by Serbia.

I love cake. I make them often and constantly look for inspiration to create something new. Regardless of the occasion—formal, fun, or family—cake is welcome to the party.
Many people, including myself, are seduced by the fancy creations that professional pastry chefs turn out. Even though you can make simple versions at home, I have friends who think baking a cake requires a lot of complicated fussing about the kitchen.
As a cure for that illness, I present my Chocolate Peppermint Pudding Cake–a cake and pudding, two desserts in one. The best part of this recipe is that there's no need for a stand mixer or even a hand mixer. Everything is done with a medium saucepan. This means even those who don't normally bake–and don't even have traditional baking gear—can execute this easy divine chocolaty one-pot wonder.
1. In medium saucepan, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, salt, milk and heaven cream. Set pan over medium heat. Add chocolate and whisk constantly until chocolate melts and mixture begins to bubble, 2-4 minutes. Stir in extracts and transfer pudding to large bowl. Place plastic wrap directly on surface of pudding and refrigerate until cold, at least 4 hours or up to 1 day.
1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 325℉. Lined two 8-inch cake pans w parchment, butter and coat pan with flour, tap out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, set aside.
2. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in cocoa and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Off heat, whisk in coffee, buttermilk, and sugars until dissolved. Whisk in eggs and vanilla, then slowly whisk in flour mixture.
3. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 25-35 minutes. Cool layers in pans 15 minutes, then invert onto wire rack. Cool to room temperature, at least 1 hour.
1. Trip top of each cake layer to level, break up trimming int o crumbs, set aside. Cut each cake in half horizontally. Place one cake layer on a cake stand or serving platter, Spread about 1 cup pudding over cake layer and top with another layer. Repeat with 1 cup pudding and cake layers. Spread remaining pudding evenly over top and sides of cake. Decorate with cake crumbs, pressing lightly to adhere, and peppermint chocolate. Serve. (Cake can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.)
