Hi all, In my opinion, humble although based on 9 years of university studies, the best option is the second series of icons that I find perfect from a conceptual and iconographic point of view, the best thing that has seen for a long time. Just as William has said, so that an icon ends up being such, the fundamental thing is that it is popularized. But if when he speaks of the "market" he refers to this list, it is evident that the market prefers the first series. In spite of I will expose it my reasons to prefer the second: Objective public: It is a specialized public, the document he/she doesn't go to the public in general. Homogeneity: So much in the graphic style as in the "language" that is used to transmit the information. The second series maintains the homogeneity. Size: The second series has a standard size of 32 x 32 (the first one not). The ideal thing would be to get that design in 16 x16. The color: The second series is more discreet. If what is wanted is that besides for what represents the image it is easy to distinguish the icons for colors, you can use a color bottom. I have created a page to show the difference among the two options: http://www.sidar.org/iconstatag/iconstatag.htm And it follows me seeming more appropriate the series without bottom color, because the same as when the third series is used, it is too attractive and it can end up tiring the view. Defects that I find in the other two series: The first series presents little homogeneity, it is seemingly simple but it really contains too many lines. The second, the size believes that it is more appropriate, but the icons 2, 3 and 4 are less clear and direct semantically speaking. I hope these observations are useful. Regards, Emmanuelle -----Mensaje original----- De: email@example.com [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]En nombre de Charles McCathieNevile Enviado el: martes, 01 de mayo de 2001 10:37 Para: WAI GL Asunto: WHat makes Icons accessible or not? Hi folks, currently in the Authoring Tool group we are working on adding some basic icons to our techniques docuement, to identify which techniques are relevant for what kind of tools. There is a bit of a discussion on icons - at the moent we have had three sets of icons offered. So I wonder if people candraw any ideas that explain which ones are good, and why / why not. For convenience I have put the stuff into a web page: http://www.w3.org/2001/04/atag-icon-check - that includes the three sets of icons mixed up in a fragment of what we use it for, so they can be seen in context. I have to apologies for the fact that although longdesc links are defined they currently lead to empty resources. I hope I will fix that today, but I hoped I would publish this page last week so I am not too optimistic about it happening immediately. cheers chaals -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +1 617 258 5999 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)Received on Tuesday, 1 May 2001 16:34:22 UTC

Sony Ericsson has launched the Aspen, a smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard and touchscreen, running the latest version of Windows Mobile.
The phone has a 2.4in touchscreen, a 3.2Mp camera and support for assisted GPS navigation. Web access is provided via Wi-Fi and HSPA (High-Speed Packet Access).
The Sony Ericsson Aspen is one of the first smartphones to use version 6.5.3 of Microsoft's Windows Mobile operating system. That version features improved web performance with faster web page load times, says Peter Wissinger from Windows Mobile.
The handset is also a GreenHeart product, Sony Ericsson's label for its more environmentally-friendly products. It is made from recycled materials and has a power-saving mode.
Microsoft has also made the latest version of Windows Mobile more suited to touchscreen phones, enlarging the icons and adding support for capacitive touchscreens and recognition of multitouch gestures, Wissinger said.
However, Aspen buyers won't be able to take advantage of all of those improvements, since the smartphone has a resistive touchscreen that Sony Ericsson has not enabled multitouch gestures.
Pricing hasn't been announced, but the Aspen will start shipping during the second quarter.

Researchers at the University of Delaware and Temple University studied more than a hundred 3-year-olds belonging to various socioeconomic levels. (Agencies) Latest News from Lifestyle News Desk
Children who were better at copying block structures were also better at early math, the study found.
Among the skills tested were whether children could figure out that a block belongs above or below another block and whether they aligned the pieces.
The study also found that by age 3, children from lower-income families were already falling behind in spatial skills, likely as a result of more limited experience with blocks and other toys and materials that facilitate the development of such skills.
Blocks are affordable and enjoyable, and they're easily used in preschool settings. Giving children - especially those from low-income families - such toys to play with can help them develop skills that will have long-lasting effects on later science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) related educational outcomes, researchers suggested.
The children's spatial skills were assessed using a block-building task. Math skills were examined using a measure developed for 3-year-olds that focuses on a wide range of skills, from simple counting to complex operations like adding and subtracting.
"Research in the science of learning has shown that experiences like block building and puzzle play can improve children's spatial skills and that these skills support complex mathematical problem solving in middle and high school," said Brian N Verdine, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Delaware and one of the study's authors.
"This is the first research to demonstrate a similar relationship in preschoolers," Verdine said.
The study is published in the journal Child Development.

It is so greatly appreciated!"
" Out of all the yoga classes I have taken….your classes are my favorite…I love the Gentle Yoga..and its lasting effects. Not only the yoga but the meditative state after puts me in the zone!!"
"Bodhi Prem Yoga is a place I go where I am free to be myself. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"I love your studio because it has a cozy feeling. I also think you are an amazing instructor. I also like that you ask the students if there is something particular they want to work on during the class and you accommodate those requests. I always walk away feeling great and having a deeper mind body connection."
" I love your studio and classes and will only take yoga classes at your studio because it is amazing. Thanks for everything!"
"I love the energy of the room (and you) I feel totally at peace.. body mind and spirit when I leave there… It seems that this class is the best I have done in all the years… as it seems to incorporate HOLISTIC…yoga.. (body mind spirit) not a physical fitness program…geared only toward body work… It also has a very lasting effect..which is great !!"
"You have created such a warm and inviting environment. I always feel great after having been there. What I love the most is the wonderful greeting that I always receive from you no matter how long it has been since I was there last. Thank you so much for that! You are a beautiful person inside and out and always make everyone feel welcome. That is why people love to come to Bodhi Prem Yoga. "
"You provide a safe, calming, spiritual and compassionate environment. You teach with the intent to help us feel better when we leave than when we began the class session, and you teach us to feel better about ourselves.

"my favorite (before you) was the Himalayan Institute when it was in Glenview..and obviously you carry the same essence they did…"
"Oh Chrysa, I can't even begin to tell you how your class has brought me so much joy! I have become so relaxed. Believe it or not, I display much more patience with others. You have taught me how to take in my surroundings and I'm also now able to take my time and really think things through before moving forward. What keeps me coming ? The amazing ability you possess in soothing the mind, body and spirit in a way that makes me more determined to share this good fortune with everyone I know.

Thank you for all you do!"
"I feel very comfortable at the studio. It is a welcoming atmosphere. I keep coming back to Bodhi Prem Yoga and your class specifically because you structure the class around your students needs. You ask us what we want to concentrate on. Since I am a rookie at yoga your gentle yoga class is excellent for me because of your instructional cues and the class size is not overwhelming. In fact, I was at a class where there was only myself and another student and you did not cancel due to lack of students and still taught the class just like a regular class. I think it is great that you offer your gentle yoga class 2x a week since it allows students to get at least 1 class into our schedule. I feel you treat your students with dignity and respect. You remember individual names even if they have missed several classes. Also, when we miss classes you do not judge us and when we return you welcome us back as if we did not miss any classes. This is going slightly off topic but you referred me to Dr. Spiropoulos because you felt he might help me to get to where I wanted to be physically and I appreciated this referral. You are very 'passionate' and knowledgeable about yoga both in the physical movement and spiritual sense. You do not just take attendance, teach the class, and leave. Yoga and your students mean a great deal to you and this comes across in your instruction and interaction with your students. "
"What makes your yoga classes so enjoyable is the demeanor of the instructor. Your ease of teaching, your humor, kindness & warmth make you look forward to going to a class. Don't change a thing!!! Stay as wonderful as you are!"
"The Bodhi Prem Yoga studio is an exceptional place to heal – both physically and emotionally – by both the positive energy in the class and by the guidance of the experienced instructor."
"I feel peaceful when I am at the studio. Your voice, the movements and then the wonderful stretching that I so desperately need. I feel, no, I know you take a personal interest in me and my health.Thank you for your caring and wonderful stress relief, boy I sleep well after your class, gosh I feel so good after your class!"
"I attend your yoga classes for several reasons:
1. It makes me feel healthier
2. It relaxes me….make me breathe
3. And, you present the class in a way that reinforces the above. Good stretching, good balance and calming. What could be better? I can really feel the difference in my body and mind when I am "forced" to miss a class.Thank you. I do appreciate your class and I encourage everyone I know to attend! "

Rodgers expects Rose to blossom
Watford snapped up Danny Rose on loan from Spurs yesterday "with a view to next season" and already Brendan Rodgers has high expectations for the budding young playmaking talent from White Hart Lane.
The exciting, attack minded left-sided midfielder, who is rumoured to have cost Spurs £1m when he moved from Leeds last year, is highly prized by Tottenham and is being "fast tracked" towards the first team according to our friends at VitalSpurs…
But Brendan Rodgers reckons he`s had his eye on ol` Danny boy for a little while. The gaffer told the official club site "He is highly thought of in this country and at the time I first looked at him he decided to stay at Leeds and then later on, went to Tottenham."
Of his new recruit, Brendan beamed "He is a highly talented, committed player and is left-sided. He has been on my radar for some time…As a footballer he has got a big talent".
And if that wasn`t enough, Brendan added
Hmm, a potential replacement for Jobi or an option to play in the 'hole` behind the strikers if Smithy moves on? What do you think?
Unleash the raging horn in you here at VitalWatford…

The trestle in East Wilton is complete and looks great. It is now wide enough for two ATV's and will better accommodate horses and the snowmobile groomer! Check out the pictures.
Whistle Stop Trail trestle in Wilton being rebuilt
BARRY MATULAITIS, Staff Editor
News |
Tuesday, April 21, 2015
WILTON — A trestle over Wilson Stream on the Whistle Stop Trail in East Wilton is being rebuilt due to safety reasons and dry rot that has affected the structure.
According to Western Maine ATV Club member Karen Dalot, the state is hiring a contractor to do the work. The Whistle Stop Trail will be closed this spring during the rebuilding process.
Dalot said that the state will be completing the rebuild during mud season so as to not negatively impact the ATV riding season. The trestle will be made wider to accommodate the snowmobile groomers in the winter, as well as for horses and ATV riders.
The state hopes to complete the work by the middle of May, she said.
Due to the spring thaw, state-designated trails are closed to ATV riders until May 25th. All signs have been posted, and riders are asked to respect landowners and wait for the trails to dry out.
"Police are ticketing people out there right now," said Dalot. "It costs clubs a lot of money to repair damage."
People who do get caught riding on state-designated trails when they are posted as being closed could get charged as much as three times the cost of the repairs to them per state law, she said.
Dalot said that the Western Maine ATV Club is looking for new members. People are encouraged to come to the club's meetings on the first Wednesday of each month at the Jay Town Office at 7 p.m.
The Whistle Stop Trail trestle over Wilson Stream in East Wilton is being rebuilt.
At one time, Maine Central railroad trains crossed the East Wilton Trestle.

Whistle Stop Trail extension opens and celebrated on Saturday
JAY - About 60 snowmobilers, all-terrain vehicle riders and downtown business owners celebrated the ceremonial opening of two trail projects that connect with the Whistle Stop Trail.
The 14.5-mile Whistle Stop Trail, which begins in West Farmington, runs through Wilton and formerly ended near the Jay Elementary School, now continues on further for 2.5 more miles, to total 17 miles, into Jay village and onto Livemore Falls.
The state-owned Whistle Stop Trail was a former broad gauge Maine Central railroad converted into a multi-use, four-season rail trail, is open for walking, biking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, dog sledding, ATV riding, and snowmobiling.
In 2009, after Mary Howes and Tim DeMillo of Otis Ventures LLC property purchased the former Wasuau Mill and converted it into Otis Falls Mill development, plans for the trail extension began, said Jonathan LaBonte, executive director of the Androscoggin Land Trust to those attending the ribbon cutting.
The land trust formed the Chisholm Trails organization of Jay and with help from the National Park Service, local snowmobile and ATV clubs, work began on the 1.3-mile trail extension from French Falls Drive near school down to run along the river to Mill Street at the entrance Otis Falls Mill in Jay.
A trail easement across the mill property was granted by Howes and DeMillo that added another 1.2 miles to end Bridge Street in Livermore Falls. Existing trails connect from there.
"The new two-and-a-half miles of trail will provide access to businesses and shops in Jay village and Livermore Falls," LaBonte said.
DeMillo said there will "no longer be a struggle to go north. The new trail helps provide year-round access north and south. I'm happy to be a part of it, but couldn't have done it without all of you," he added of those attending.

The latest from Mr. Class, Rob Williams, and the "racism, what racism?!?" cabal at Vermont Commons takes either real kahunas or a true disassociation from reality. In mocking Barack Obama, he's taken to embracing the openly racist imagery of the Tea Party that has been roundly criticized by African Americans and, well… decent people of all political persuasions.
The picture on the left has been in circulation for some time, and it's now Williams's fave, as seen here and here, where he celebrates it with the comment "Barack Osama –> ain't Photoshop great?"
It neatly and tidily combines all the scary non-whiteness into one, nice package with the President's face. The Root, a WaPo publication focused on African American Issues, describes this particular image in its piece entitled "Evolving Images of Obama and Osama" as an "attempt to mobilize bigotry and fears about terrorism, Islam and bin Laden to delegitimize Obama as an American, a patriot and a president."
This is the latest from the crowd that's so above racism, they feel free to dub a hate group figure as their "philosophical guru,", unapologetically publish League of the South leaders online and in print, has never apologized for publishing the writings of a neo-nazi sympathizer who warned Vermonters of the threat of "multiculturalists, feminists, gays, environmentalists, internationalists, secularists, and Holocaust promoters" (get it?) on the pages of their periodical (but quietly scrubbed it from the website when called on it), monthly post rants by a man who has no problem promoting his cause with leading figures in the racist movement or on talk shows affiliated with neo-confederate racists, who casually and routinely collaborate with racist organizations (including for the purposes of sharing and refining propaganda tactics), and who've even had the gall to invite them all up here to dirty up our own Vermont Statehouse. Par for the course.
And don't look for any help from their enablers. Otherwise progressive folks like Will Lindner and Carl Etnier have no problem being associated – even promoting – this stuff. I guess it's "none of their damn business" if their names could easily appear alongside the likes of neo-nazi sympathizer Robert Griffin, or that their reputations could be being put in the service of legitimizing calls for segregation in a new "Vermont Republic."
Nor should we expect any worries from organizations like the Vermont Natural Resources Council, Rural Vermont, or businesses like Northshire Books and Marlboro College who allow their ads to appear alongside these pieces in print. What do environmentalists, farmers and… er… readers (I guess) care about racism after all? And Rob is just sooo sweet! Of course, not that they're paying for those ads – Williams simply hands them out from "anonymous" donors so that mainstream and legitimate businesses and organizations will attach their names to his operation and shield him from criticism.
Yuck. I feel like I need a shower every time this topic comes up.

I go there to buy the odd bag of dried pineapple bits. This is in the hope that the sugar used to coat something that, although dehydrated to the point of unrecognisability, remains at least nominally fruit, has fewer calories than that which has been transfigured into the Kendal mint cake or Turkish delight that has draped itself seductively over the chaise longues in the confectionery bordello masquerading as a newsagents next door. This notion of a calorific differentiation between forms of sugar, I do appreciate at some level, is a delusion.
However, it appears that as delusions suffered by the customers wafting round healthfood shops go, this is small organic potatoes. Research published yesterday in the Psychiatric Bulletin, the journal of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, reveals that the staff of such shops give bad advice about treating depression. The actual finding - non-medically trained staff give bad medical advice - is less surprising than the fact that there are still people with enough faith in alfalfa hucksters to solicit their opinions on anything other than the optimum dosage of sprouty goodness necessary to keep one's bowels as sleek as nature intended.
The staff surveyed by Joyce Reed, a junior doctor at St James's university hospital in Leeds, were more likely to hand over a jar of overpriced multivitamins to alleviate the suffering of a customer detailing symptoms of depression than even St John's Wort (the only thing they would typically have in stock that has been scientifically proven to have an effect on the illness). This is the equivalent of a doctor giving you an apple to rub on your broken leg or burst appendix to make it better. Although, to make the analogy wholly accurate, we'd better assume that the owner of the fractured femur didn't, in fact, go to a doctor, but dragged himself to the nearest branch of Comet. I suppose they would recommend a thrice daily application of digital camera, and take advantage of your weakened state to flog you an extended warranty on your other leg. But I digress.
It is of course possible that the shop staff were right and that Dr Reed is wrong. It is fairly comfortably within the bounds of credulity that a customer feeling weepy, lethargic, hopeless and bewildered in a health food shop does not need treatment for depression at all. What she may well need, in fact, is a pie. Forbidden by the terms of their contracts to supply the necessary pastry bullet, the multivitamins are passed over in order to give the tearful, trembling customer the strength to get to the nearest Morrisons. In which case, score one for alternative-alternative medicine.

Bullard gets Saratoga all the way to top
Published 11:33 pm, Saturday, April 6, 2013
As he stood on the ice in Utica's Memorial Auditorium following the state champion trophy presentation, Saratoga Springs forward Tyler Bullard reflected on his senior season as the Blue Streaks won the state title for the first time since 1999.
"Realistically, it all started last year when Pittsford beat us in overtime (in the state semifinals)," Bullard said. "I talked to coach (David Torres) and texted him and said we're going to be back next year. Sure enough, we talked about it the first day of tryouts and were all excited, just ready to go."
While the Blue Streaks rolled through Utica, winning the final and semifinal by a combined score of 9-1, Saratoga might not have made its fourth straight trip to the state final four without the exploits of Bullard, who scored the game-winning goal a week before early in the third period as Saratoga went on the road to knock off then-top-ranked Suffern 3-2 in the state quarterfinals.
The goal was the biggest of the year for Bullard, who was named the state Division I player of the year after his 49 regular-season points were followed by 10 more in the postseason.

Palin Says She Will Defend Families With Guns
Sarah Palin's idea of family life is really weird. Asked in 2006 what her top three priorities for families would be if she was elected Governor, she included "cracking down on" "attacks on our 2nd amendment rights".
Huh? The second amendment to the Constitution of the United States protects the right to bear arms. Arms. As in weapons.
What attacks against 2nd amendment rights was she talking about? How does Sarah Palin think that the effort to restrict weapons ownership is one of the top three priorities when it comes to having government work to help families?
Sarah Palin didn't mention anything about improving the economic conditions upon which families depend. She didn't mention protecting the clean environment within which families live. Palin didn't even mention improving health care, and without good health care, a family can't even survive.
No, Sarah Palin thought that protecting the right to own a gun was more important to families than any of that.
I'm not saying that I want to repeal the second amendment or anything like that. But I have no idea at all what makes Sarah Palin think that having weapons around is more important to families than a good economy, a clean environment and health care.

Books for younger readers

Time travel is an intriguing idea, perhaps even more so on home turf. So locals are in for a great treat in Bridge of Time, by San Francisco author Lewis Buzbee (Feiwel and Friends; 290 pages; $12.99; ages 10-14). Joan Lee and Lee Jones are best friends who discover more common ground: Both sets of parents have announced plans to divorce right before the eighth-grade Get-Away Day, which gets unexpectedly moved from a popular amusement park to historic Fort Point.
That revolting development actually seems less credible than what happens next: Joan and Lee ditch the tour to commiserate, and voila, it's 1864! With the Golden Gate Bridge nowhere in sight, they land in a San Francisco both "totally familiar and totally alien," greeted by Sam Clemens, then a reporter for the Call Bulletin. (They soon figure out his connection to Huck Finn.)
Blending in presents Joan and Lee with special challenges. Faced with pervasive anti-Chinese bias, she is in particular jeopardy. And he sometimes needs to dress like a girl. Then there is the ominous man dogging Sam, and the ultimate problem of how to get back to the future. No easy task: The three of them keep getting "unstuck" and landing in other times.

It's a wild ride to the frontier town, Ohlone days, 1912, 1906 and ultimately three years hence. This hybrid novel melds history, mystery and adventure into an imaginative and thought-provoking whole. It offers commentary on the power of friendship to deal with life and optimism to embrace past, present and future.
Matt Cain just pitched the Giants' first-ever perfect game, becoming an instant hero. Two picture biographies shed light on two enduring baseball heroes and their historical context. A storied career spans two decades in There Goes Ted Williams: The Greatest Hitter Who Ever Lived (Candlewick; 40 pages; $16.99; ages 6-10). Kids will see how early dedication to the game pays off as the 19-year-old wonder steps up to the major leagues in 1937. What follows are details about Williams' success as a Boston Red Sox slugger and as a fighter pilot, first in World War II, then in the Korean War. Full of movement, the multimedia art is perfect complement to this tale of stellar performance and personal sacrifice.
Everyone knows about Jackie Robinson. But who came next? Kids find out in Just as Good: How Larry Doby Changed America's Game, by Chris Crowe and illustrated by Mike Benny (Candlewick; 32 pages; $16.99; ages 6-10). Serving as narrator, a young boy follows Doby and the Cleveland Indians on the radio, cheering them to victory in the 1948 World Series. With winning hits, Doby proved that Robinson was not a "fluke." The father-son relationship, a family's pride and an almost-forgotten moment in the civil rights struggle are recalled with an assist from rich acrylics that, though a bit wooden, capture a pivotal moment.
Preschoolers are still decoding the seasons. Experience is a good teacher, but two new books add to the knowledge base. A girl tiptoes barefoot through daisies, splashes in a wading pool and picnics in the park in Summer Days and Nights, by Wong Herbert Yee (Holt; 32 pages; $14.99; ages 2-6). As in two companion books, rhyming couplets and charming colored-pencil drawings quietly enumerate small seasonal pleasures with lovely sensory detail.
Aptly big and brash is Red, White and Boom! by Lee Wardlaw and Huy Voun Lee (Holt; 32 pages; $16.99 ; ages 3-7). A marching band, kites, sand castles, juicy watermelon, sparklers and fireworks all figure into Fourth of July fun. As "flags unfurl" and "batons twirl," collage art shows a diversity of celebrators and traditions. Want something about the Redcoats or the Declaration of Independence? Look elsewhere. But as preview and then review of America's birthday partty, this book exuberantly fills the bill.

text: Hall of Fame Inventors September 27, 2010 11:27 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Farm Journal Editors Email More than 400 honorees have been inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame, founded in 1973 by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and National Council of Intellectual Property Law Associations. The inventions of at least two dozen inductees are connected with agriculture. Not surprisingly, these ag trailblazers are also among the most famous of all inventors. A new class of honorees is inducted each May into the Hall of Fame, located on the University of Akron campus. Here's a snapshot of a few of the inductees tied to agriculture. Cyrus McCormick is well-known for inventing the mechanical reaper for harvesting small grain, which he patented in 1834. His invention greatly reduced labor and enabled farmers to significantly increase their acreage. McCormick's was not the first mechanical harvester. But he successfully combined all of the essential components that earlier harvesting machines had separately performed. He then built a factory in Chicago and began mass manufacture of his machines, founding what became the International Harvester Company. McCormick greatly expanded sales through door-to-door contacts and written guarantees. He continued to innovate, eventually replacing his initial reaper with a self-propelled combine, operated by a single individual, that cut and threshed the grain in one operation. John Deere was a skilled blacksmith in Vermont who escaped to Grand Detour, Ill., barely a step ahead of the bill collectors. There, he was besieged by tales of frustration when cast-iron plows that worked so well in light sandy New England soils were ineffective in turning tough sticky prairie soils. Salvaging an old sawmill blade, he fashioned a highly polished steel plow that cleaned itself as it moved through the field. The steel plow caught on quickly, and by 1846, Deere and his partner were manufacturing and selling a thousand plows annually. In 1848, Deere moved his operation to Moline, Ill., to take advantage of Mississippi River water power and transportation. Deere continued to improve his design even as sales increased. George Washington Carver was born to slave parents in Diamond Grove, Mo. He worked as a farmhand and studied in a one-room schoolhouse. Denied admission to Highland College because of his race, he was accepted at Iowa State Agricultural College, now Iowa State University. Booker T. Washington invited Carver to come to Tuskegee Institute to serve as the school's director of agriculture. While at Tuskegee, Carver developed a crop rotation system alternating cotton with nitrogen-producing legumes (peanuts and peas). This enhanced cotton yields, but soon resulted in a surplus of peanuts, as well. Carver developed 325 different uses for peanuts, ranging from cooking oil to printer's ink. He also discovered new uses for pecans and sweet potatoes. Luther Burbank had only an elementary school education. But in a 55-year plant breeding career, he developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants, including 113 plum and prune varieties, 10 berry varieties, 50 lily varieties and the Freestone peach. The brown-skinned, white-fleshed Burbank potato has become the predominant potato in food processing and is credited with helping combat the potato blight epidemic in Ireland. Eli Whitney is best known for his invention of the cotton gin that revolutionized Southern agriculture. He laid the groundwork for American mass manufacturing by introducing interchangeable parts in making muskets for the military, although the idea itself is credited to a Frenchman. The invention of the cotton gin produced prosperity for Southern planters. However, because they freely copied Whitney's design, he never profited from his invention. Joseph Glidden, as the popular story goes, got the idea for barbed wire after seeing a wood rail with sharp nails protruding along its sides, hanging inside a smooth wire fence. Inspired, Glidden fashioned barbs on an improvised coffee bean grinder, placed them along a smooth wire and twisted another wire around the first to hold the barbs in a fixed position. Glidden applied for and received a patent. But he quickly became embroiled in a legal battle with some 570 other patent claims to being the first to invent barbed wire. Glidden won his court challenge and went on to establish the Barb Fence Company in DeKalb, Ill., becoming one of the richest men in America. John Franz was handed a project other investigators at Monsanto Company would no longer touch—to find an herbicide effective against perennial and annual weeds. Through trial and error, he discovered the glyphosate class of herbicides that eliminates more than 125 weeds. Glyphosate, originally marketed as Roundup, permitted growers to control weeds after emergence without injuring the crop and opened the door to widespread use of minimal tillage. It also paved the way for genetically engineered glyphosate-resistant crop varieties. It is one of the most widely used herbicides in U.S. and world agriculture. Herb Boyer and Stan Cohen were at the University of California in San Francisco investigating DNA when they observed that by adding genes from an organism to a simple cell, the genes would replicate in the cell. This discovery led to the development of genetic engineering and launched the multibillion-dollar biotechnology industry. Genetically altered crops are playing a major role in increased food production worldwide. Ivan Getting and Bradford Parkinson probably never thought of themselves as agricultural scientists or inventors. But their inventions have significantly impacted agriculture. Getting and Parkinson developed the Global Positioning System (GPS) of satellite-based navigation. GPS is a navigational system that uses signals from 24 dedicated satellites to pinpoint places with great accuracy. Originally developed for the U.S. military to guide missiles to targets, today GPS systems are found in cars; used by air traffic controllers, farmers and rescue workers; and are available on many mobile phones and handheld devices. Getting came up with the GPS concept as vice president of research and engineering at the Raytheon Corporation during the 1950s. As manager of the NAVSTAR GPS Joint Program Office from 1972 to 1978, Parkinson was the chief architect of its engineering development and implementation. Similar arguments can be made for Clarence Birdseye, who developed the process for retailing frozen foods, and Waldo Semon, who invented PVC pipe. Both inventions are of significant value in agriculture.

How can anyone resist local, just picked, sweet corn? I can hardly pass it up and neither can my family. The corn stand is literally 2 minutes from my house by car- this is dangerous- I'll explain later. I love being surrounded by dedicated farmers that offer the fruits & veggies of their labour. It makes eating healthy so enjoyable with very infrequent grocery store trips. Now that September is here, the most fruitful month for farmers, the selection is wonderful. In some areas there is still time to enjoy the corn crop-how about your locale? The other day we noticed how nice the cobs looked, donning their silky pink tassels as we wandered thru the corn maze trying to find the look out tower- Amelia calls it the princess castle. After 30 minutes we ended up right back at the entrance looking for route B to the tower! Oh well, we all enjoyed being lost together.
This recipe is an oldie but a goodie! I've been making this for years but almost forgot about it until I found myself trimming the corn off the cob for Amelia and it brought back the memory of how yummy and kinda different the fresh corn tastes when it is removed from the cob. No wonder kids often ask for it this way. The nice thing about this recipe is that it isn't complicated. A few very simple ingredients allow you to taste the pure flavours of each but enjoy the combination of the whole. This recipe is best enjoyed shortly after combining ingredients and at room temperature. It isn't bad on day 2, but it needs to be brought to room temp and the tomatoes aren't as firm. I don't recommend keeping it longer than one day. And actually, it's so yummy you probably won't have left overs.
The most important thing to note when cooking fresh picked corn is the length of time that you boil it. The corn itself is often blamed for being tough-some will say it's a poor crop- but often it is the fault of the cook for over boiling it which results in a tough skin and a nasty cob of corn. You've probably experienced this, yes? It's true the cob can be old and become tough before even hitting the hot water but that's why it's best to source the freshest picked crop possible- same day is ideal from the farmer that grew it! I recommend bringing a large pot of water to a boil and then placing the cobs in the water for a maximum of 3-5 mins–I like them at 3 minutes myself- but that's it. Then remove them from the water and serve immediately. Leaving them in the hot water even if you turn the heat off will also overcook them. For this recipe you can cool the cobs in cold water after removing from the pot. The corn must be cool or it will wilt the cilantro and soften the tomatoes.
Fresh Corn, Pinto Bean and Heirloom Cherry Tomato Salad
Yield: approx 5 cups salad
3 cobs fresh picked corn, organic preferably
16 cherry heirloom tomatoes, organic preferably, sliced in half
1/4 cup finely diced red onion
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 – 14oz tin black pinto beans, drained and well rinsed
juice of one lime
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, preferably organic
pinch celtic sea salt
Boil a large pot of water and place cobs in water for 3-5 mins-no longer. Remove and place in cold water to stop cooking. Once cool, slice the corn kernels off the cob and place in medium sized bowl, breaking up the pieces somewhat. Add cherry tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and black beans. Combine lime juice, oil and pinch of salt and pour over corn mixture and coat evenly. Let stand 10 mins and then enjoy!
You may not be aware but the reason corn is so yummy to eat is it's high sugar content. Corn is starchy, it isn't alkaline, and it has acidic affect on the body because it is a source of sugar. So…. it needs to be part of your 20% acidic intake for the day. I recommend a big mixed green salad with this or pile this mixture on top of greens to balance out your meal. But pleeease……. use fresh picked corn- I'll explain why.
Why you should only eat Freshly Picked Corn in Moderation
Dr. Robert O. Young highly recommends avoiding corn altogether as his in depth studies indicate that corn contains twenty-five different mycotoxin- producing fungi including recognized carcinogens. Apparently during the growing process the plants themselves are not resistant thus become tainted. Imagine though these fungi, and how these micro forms can multiply and the volume of contaminants that would be present on corn as it is transported from farm, to truck, train, to market, to shopping cart, to your fridge and finally cooked a couple days later. It is deadly and not to mention the combination of the acidic sugar load especially if it is served with meat and potatoes. Nightmarish acid overload!
My thoughts are this. Enjoy the corn as fresh as possible and close to the source, in moderation. Don't bother with canned corn, frozen corn or any other corn products as these will be many times worse and they are considered to be big contributors to ill health, especially cancers. If you are striving to avoid toxins and acidic food and you want to be optimally healthy, a strict alkavorian, I would avoid the corn all together. I believe that if you do choose to enjoy fresh corn occasionally you could just be sure to balance it out well and flush the toxins from your system with Myco Detox II– one of Dr. Young's specially formulated supplements that assists in removing toxins from the body. It really works as I have used it for 2 years now and have highly improved my live blood results by stripping toxins. Our bodies require a constant measure of repair especially if you are tempted by corn, alcohol, caffeine and a slew of foods that are toxic to the body. We even encounter toxins in the air we breath with most every breath depending where we live and what we are surrounded by.
But….sometimes we need to zig and zag a bit and if it means the odd cob of corn then you know the consequences now, don't you? Just beware if the corn stand is 2 minutes from your home- it can be dangerous!
I say, enjoy this salad while you still can this month and live like Italians who eat season by season. Enjoying the anticipation of next years sweet cob of corn makes it taste even better when you do eat one after waiting all winter for it, don't you think?
One last thing……if you see sunflowers for sale, buy them! They are such happy, heart warming and alkalizing flowers (promoting happiness which is alkalizing for the body) and they'll soon be gone for another year too!
September is almost over, I'm curious, what's on your bucket list before the last of summer is completely faded and gone? Corn maze? Picnic? Running thru hay fields? Please indulge me. I love to hear that you are doing fun, stress free, healthy activities that energize you!

Robert Holland serves as the managing member of the Miller & Martin PLLC Nashville office, concentrating his area of practice in real estate and corporate transactions. (The firm also has offices in Atlanta and Chattanooga.) On a local note, Holland serves as real estate counsel for the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency. A member of the Nashville, the Tennessee and the American bar associations, Holland is president of the Mary Queen of Angels Board of Trustees and a board member for Tennessee Special Olympics.
What was Miller & Martin's most significant court victory in 2005?
We represented the world's largest bottler of Coca-Cola beverages in labor and employment victories across the nation. We obtained defense verdicts on behalf of a number of clients in the health care industry. Lawyers in our commercial litigation department successfully handled a malicious prosecution case on behalf of a Nashville fulfillment company, obtaining a judgment for $4.2 million, including $3.5 million in punitive damages. Our products liability practice group successfully defended one of our clients, an international crane manufacturer, in which the plaintiff was seeking $10 million. Our lawyers persuaded that court to exclude the plaintiff's expert from testifying and to thereafter grant summary judgment on our client's behalf. The National Labor Relations Board has agreed to review an appeal filed on behalf of our client, a private airport security screening company. The issue is whether the company's employees have the right to collectively bargain given that federal screeners do not have such a right because of national security interests.
In what way has the Nashville legal community changed most dramatically since 2000?
The most significant change is the increase in the size of law firms, whether by organic growth or as a result of mergers with larger regional law firms. The bigger law firms continue to compete for more sophisticated legal work. It is imperative that these law firms provide a full array of legal services for their clients. The result is the need for more lawyers with different skill sets to provide the legal services that clients desire. Over the last five years, you have seen local firms grow significantly in their size, and you have seen mergers providing regional law firms with a presence in Nashville. I would not be surprised to see the merger trend continue.
What has been your main challenge in helping lead Miller & Martin?
There is a constant need for growth and expansion of services. Therefore, there is a constant need to hire bright and capable people who are willing to put our clients first. These hiring decisions, whether they be new or lateral hires, are always a challenge. You have to be certain that the lawyers that you are hiring have the necessary skills and work ethic to meet the demands of the legal business. You also need to try to make sure the persons you hire fit into the personality mix of your law firm.
How has rapidly changing technology affected your profession?
Technology is now prevalent throughout our profession and has improved and enhanced the presentation of evidence to judges and jurors. It has also created new avenues for lawyers to interact and communicate with their clients in a variety of ways. It obviously enables us to communicate with our clients in a more efficient manner. It also allows lawyers to communicate and work together much more efficiently. I think it is one of the reasons there has been so much merger activity because technology enables lawyers in different cities to work together efficiently.
What is the significance of your work with MDHA, and your take on eminent domain?
My work with MDHA is very rewarding. Most of the issues I deal with involve the city's redevelopment districts, and it's exciting to be involved in projects that, in essence, are taking place around our downtown office. I do think that eminent domain is a vital, but rarely used, tool that eliminates blight and brings about redevelopment.

Based on your feedback the ABS will be releasing Measures of Australia's Progress 2013 to the ABS website on the 14th November 2013. Thank you for your feedback and contribution to the development of this publication.
Measures of Australia's Progress (MAP) helps Australians address the question, 'Is life in Australia getting better?'. To help it do this we're planning on refreshing MAP for its next full scale release in late 2013. The main aspect of this refresh is that MAP will take on board the results of a recent broad ranging public consultation, which asked Australians what aspects of life are important for national progress. Another element of the refresh though is an enhancement of MAP's website.
Because MAP brings together information from so many diverse areas, we want to ensure its website is easy to use so that people can readily make an overall assessment of national progress. We also want to clearly communicate the stories behind the statistics, and allow users to directly access data they are interested in.
Take a look at the mock-ups below and let us know if you like the new layout and functionality.
Mock-up inclusions:
- A MAP summary dashboard homepage - with an alternate view
- A MAP summary animation
- A MAP Health Infographic
- and MAP's 'Health' theme page
Note: The content in these mock-ups is just dummy and is not intended for use other than to demonstrate the website's functionality enhancements.

"Cool, man! I won the Lottery!" was the Albany County resident's excited reaction when he first scratched off his instant ticket and saw that he was a winner. "I couldn't believe it," he said, "I went back into the retailer and had to have them confirm."
With this win, Markley joined local Set for Life winner Chris Covey who claimed his second place prize just three days earlier. "He has a ton of luck," explained the friends who accompanied Markley to Schenectady. "The $1 and $2 tickets…He always wins!"
This lucky guy says he strayed from his usual $1-to-$2 tickets and chose the $30 Win a Million a Year for Life ticket yesterday because, "I felt lucky." He purchased the big winner at the Madison Mobil station on Madison Avenue in Albany. He plans to spend his prize money, "Wisely."
Markley's home county, Albany, is a Lottery winner as well. The New York Lottery contributed $40,100,278 in Aid to Education to Albany County last year. That brought the County's cumulative Aid since 1977 to a staggering $514,524,863.
Win a Million a Year for Life is a $30 instant ticket with a minimum top prize of $20,000,000 and $1,000,000 a year for life after that threshold. The odds of winning a second place prize like Markley are 1 in 252,000. The odds of winning a top prize are 1 in 3,528,000.
The New York Lottery continues to be North America's largest and most profitable Lottery, earning more than $39.3 billion in education support statewide since its founding over 40 years ago. The Lottery contributed nearly $2.67 billion in fiscal year 2009-2010 to help support education in New York State, which was over 12 percent of total state education funding to local school districts.
Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula used to distribute other state aid to education. It takes into account both a school district's size and its income level; larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares of Lottery school funding.

Can an external audio interface help with Real-Time Exports?
After always having a nagging feeling that mixdowns haven't ever quite lived up to the quality of the playback, I noticed the option for a real-time export. I'm gathering that it's pretty much taking the real-time playback itself for the mixdown.
It worked REALLY well when I did it for a 20-second section of my project. It sounded fantastic and confirmed my suspicions that my other sorts of mixdowns weren't as good quality. Right now I'm really sorry that I hadn't done this for my previous projects.
My current project is absolutely huge and playback can run my CPU up to 70% and I have an intel core i7 at 4GHz. With the sheer size of it, it can have its playback hiccups. When I try the real-time exports, at some point it will have an error of "CPU overload" which I'm pretty sure happens exactly as the playback hiccups (kind of pops for a moment in which there's no sound at all as it continues, which tends to happen as projects get really huge).
So my question of course is how I can reduce my chances of this error from a hardware standpoint and/or anything besides changing the sound of the project outcome. I understand that things like reverb and an excess of virtual instruments drive up the CPU usage, and in my mind I've done better at minimizing it (i.e. sending lots of dry signals to the same instance of SPACES for example).
Would an external audio interface help with this? I.e. the sound card? I would think that it would if (for the same reasons) it improves playback, for taking the load off the CPU, but maybe not if the sound card isn't actually doing anything during a real-time export. :\
Any help is greatly needed and appreciated! Thanks!
If you are getting CPU overloads when mixing down in real time, a dedicated Audio Interface with purpose written drivers should do a better job of real-time mix down.
There is a simple way to see if offline mixdowns are bringing artifacts. Get a simple piece.
- Do 2 mixdowns one in real time and one offline.
- Create a new project and import both mixdowns in to it on separate tracks
- Invert the phase on one track
If there are no artifacts, then the two tracks will produce a null effect and you will get no sound. I would be surprised if it was the case but am not prepared to say it is 100% in your head because of subtle variations caused by round robins etc.
An external audio interface will absolutely give you a better experience. For the time being, does it help if you convert your tracks to wav audio then do the real time mixdown? Unless I'm off, tat moves much of the CPU load off the whole mix and distributes it to your single track conversions, hopefully makes the real mix run smoother. Just a thought.

For those of you who were at the NYSWI and UAlbany journalism program event on April 12, pitting science writer Natalie Angier (an outspoken atheist) against evolutionary biologist David Sloane Wilson (also an atheist, but also a scientist who views religion as necessarily arising out of some evolutionary need for survival), may be interested in some news: The New York Times has given a mostly positive review to Angier's book, (you can also read my review here) and a blogger responds to her take on scientific illiteracy; and, even though Angier called for scientists to speak up for science (and against religion), over in England, the Royal Society is calling for an alliance with mainstream religion.
Science and religion
One Response
As a PhD scientist and novelist who tackles the hefty subjects of science and religion in my novels, I am often the target of irrational ire from both sides. Many scientists and the religious cannot identify with a character holding opposing beliefs, and thus my first novel has drawn mixed reviews. While some open-minded people understand that I'm attempting to portray the divisions within society by creating multiple characters (like the Booklist starred review), others see only the contradictions or the challenges to their own beliefs and refuse to consider the opposing viewpoint. I think it's sad that people cannot rationally discuss the deep divisions between the secular and the religious (and the divisions are very deep here in the U.S.) without resorting to invective or coercion.
Thank you,
TK Kenyon, author of *RABID: A Novel*
"[D]ebut novelist Kenyon isn't fooling around. What begins as a riff on Peyton Place (salacious small-town intrigue) smoothly metamorphoses into a philosophical battle between science and religion… a novel quite unlike most standard commercial fare, a genre-bending story–part thriller, part literary slapdown with dialogue as the weapon of choice." Starred Review, *Booklist.*

Former Cobblers defender Anthony Charles makes a swift return to Sixfields with Plymouth Argyle tomorrow (Sat), and has warned his new team-mates they are in for a tough afternoon.
Charles was only released from his Cobblers contract last month, but he has quickly established himself as a key man in an Argyle defence that he knows is going have its work cut out on Saturday.
Plymouth manager John Sheridan will no doubt be asking Charles for a few tips on how to deal with the Cobblers' attack, and the player has warned his manager that Northampton will come out 'all guns blazing'.
"Northampton have moved on from last season," Charles told the Plymouth Herald. "They have got two big men up front in Clive Platt and Adebayo Akinfenwa, and Chris Hackett is very direct in what he does and causes problems.
"It's not just that. There are going to be numerous things we are going to have to focus on for the day.
"But we can't get too distracted because we have our own way of playing and we need to make sure we do that.
"Northampton are the home team and with where they are in the table, they are going to be favourites.
"You would probably expect them to come out all guns blazing in the first five or 10 minutes.
"We need to make sure we keep their fans quiet, and that means us starting well."
And he added: "Northampton are probably one of the strongest teams in the league.
"Away from home, results don't really go their way, but it's going to be a very difficult game for us when we go there.
"We have to be focused from the off. Teams have gone there – not many, I know – and got results.
"Hopefully we can be in that small number by putting in a very good performance."
Charles knows more than most the threat that Town's top scorer Akinfenwa possesses, having had to deal with him in training for 12 months.
And he is a big fan of the big man.
"Physically, Bayo is probably the strongest player there is," said Charles.
"If he gets the ball there is no fighting him because you are not going to get it off him.
"One, you have to stop the ball getting to him and, two, you have to try to make sure you are not too tight on him.
"The best thing to do is keep him out of the box."
Although he is coming to Northampton with the intention of getting three points, Charles has nothing but good things to say about his time as a Cobbler, and he is looking forward to his day back at Sixfields.
"It's a game we have to prepare for, and I have to prepare for, in the right manner, but I'm looking forward to going back," said Charles.
"I still speak to a number of the players there. For me, it was a real good place.
"They have a great set of lads and I think that's probably reflecting in how well they are doing on the pitch.
"I don't have a bad word to say about anybody there."

TOWNSEND, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Townsend officials want to look at regulations to make tubing safer on the Little River.
Paul Jordan with Tube Junction, says this week they've been closed for three days because his company felt the water was too high for tubers. That's while other tubing companies have taken people out. He says regulations will make it safer for everyone.
"It's not a lazy river. It's a very unpredictable river it changes moment by moment," said Jordan. "This is an enjoyment people come on vacation to have an enjoyment. Not to have a tragedy."
Jordan says first time tubers need to pay extra attention and know what is involved with tubing the river.
Rescue crews say that's just part of what they want all companies to follow. Right now Townsends fire chief says tube companies are self regulated.
"A lot of the people that were rescued just didn't know what they were getting into. And didn't understand the dangers and how the river can change and how quickly it can change," said Chief Don Stallions. "Also to have the proper equipment and that everyone is wearing a life jacket and that they understand just what type of environment they're putting themselves and their family into."
Stallions hopes to work with tube companies and Blount County to develop the regulations.
