"I think it's the job of a biographer to also get at the 'why?' and the 'how' all this happened," author Dick Lehr said during his appearance at The Book Shop last week. "The 'why' of the Whitey, the making of this monster, digging into psychology and other factors influencing the emergence of someone who's now, in my view, a historic crime figure."
A former reporter, Lehr spent almost 20 years at the Boston Globe and is now finishing his ninth year as a journalism professor at Boston University.
His latest book is Whitey: The Life of America's Most Notorious Mob Boss. It is the third book that he has written with Gerard O'Neill, another erstwhile Globe reporter. The two first previously collaborated on Black Mass: Whitey Bulger, the FBI, and a Devil's Deal (2000) and The Underboss: The Rise and Fall of a Mafia Family.
Lehr said that one of the main motivations behind his and O'Neill's decision to pen a full biography of James Bulger was that "in 1975, when Whitey Bulger cult his deal with the FBI, he was already 48 years old. He lived, in a sense, a half a life already when that stuff began. Very little [was] known or written about that first half of a life, those first 48 years."
Throughout his 35-minute talk, Lehr made the point, sometimes more implicitly than explicitly, that the White Bulger saga is much more than a local story.
He reminded the audience that Bulger was arrested in June 2011, the month following the killing of Osama bin Laden. Therefore, "at that moment in time, [Bulger] had replaced Osama Bin Laden as top dog on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list."
Moreover, Lehr declared that "history's going to show that he is one of the most notorious and major crime figures of the 20th century." He attributed this to Bulger's "body count" and longevity.
According to Lehr, "He's charged with 19 murders either that he committed by himself, with his own hands – he was a real hands-on killer – or that he ordered committed. But if you talk to any investigator who's been tracking this guy over the years, there's more than 19."
This lead Lehr to conclude that Bulger "can match body counts with any kind of crime figure that rolls off your tongue: John Dillinger, John Gotti, Bonnie and Clyde."
Finally, Lehr asserted, "is that when you say 'Whitey Bulger,' in the same breath you have to say, 'the FBI.' He managed to do what I would say no other crime boss or crime figure has ever been able to do: he turned a crew of agents in the Boston office of the FBI into his own palace guard."
As a result of this connection, Lehr said toward the end of the question and answer portion, ""When it comes to Whitey Bulger, the FBI has no credibility."
Lehr focused his talk mostly on Bugler's time as a prisoner in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Despite numerous prior arrests, Bulger did not end up in jail until 1956, when he was sent to the Atlanta Penitentiary at age 26.
These three years may very well have been more interesting than the two that he later spent at America's most storied prison, Alcatraz.
In Atlanta, Bulger did not acclimate well to living in a cell that housed a total of eight prisoners.
"The record of his first few months is so un-Whitey Bulger-like," Lehr explained. "It's a deer caught in the headlights. He's a control freak and he was with seven other inmates who were invading his space and time. Within two months he checked himself into the psych ward. He was having a breakdown. He couldn't handle it."
The excerpt that Lehr chose to read from Whitey dealt with the LSD Project that doctors from Emory University conducted and in which Bulger participated.
Reading directly from the book, Lehr said, "Whitey Bulger had always felt most secure when in control, but prison had changed all that. He lost nearly every measure of control. Hallucinating on LSD meant losing even more. He took 50 trips over the course of a year and a half."
Bulger arrived at Alcatraz in 1959. Thanks to his connections with John McCormack, a South Boston native who was also Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Bugler spent only two years at Alcatraz before being transferred to Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary.
"The average stay for an inmate in Alcatraz was eight years," Lehr said. "That's the special treatment he got."
The 15-minute question and answer period opened with a query as to whether President Barack Obama was aware of his part in the capture of Whitey Bulger.
After initially joking that the President did not return his calls, Lehr told of how the FBI knew to take the tip from a woman in Iceland seriously because she pointed out that the man whom she knew as Charlie Gasko responded with disgust to her elation over Obama's election.
"Whitey, or Charlie, essentially pulled a nutty on her," Lehr said. "He couldn't believe that she thought that was a good thing, and so that whole racist side of Whitey came out. The fugitive task force knew that Whitey was a racist. He believed that the races should be separate and things like that."
A young man in the audience told of how his mother received a call from a friend who was on vacation in Santa Monica. The woman frantically claimed to have seen Whitey Bulger, only to be told by the young man's mother, "Don't be ridiculous. Why would he be there?"
For the final question, an even younger man, probably in his early teens, asked if Lehr thought that the LSD that Bulger had taken as part of the inmate study "was a contributing factor in creating the monster."
"He was already a monster when he went in," Lehr answered.

Could marriage become obsolete? Why is this question being proposed? Well, maybe because the latest statistics reflect this trend in our society.
The usual decision — which was reflected in our society in 1960, when 72 percent of all adults, ages 18 and older, were married — has changed percentage-wise to just over 50 percent with some predicting that within a few years the number will drop below the half-way mark.
What has happened? Where are we going? Why the overall change? Are there any worthwhile answers?
Dear Savvy Senior,
Can you write a column on the shameful crime of elder abuse? I've worked for Adult Protective Services for many years, and it seems like this ongoing problem doesn't get enough attention.
Concerned Citizen
Dear Concerned,
I certainly can! Elder abuse is an immense and often hidden problem that all Americans need to be aware of so they can recognize it, and know what to do if they suspect a problem.
One of the earliest families to migrate to what became Spencer County was the Hills, who arrived in 1784.
Capt. Hardy Hill and his wife Margaret (Wallace) may have been the first couple to sit down for dinner in what became Spencer County in 1824. Before then, they would have been having dinner in Shelby County.
Prior to 1824, land north of the Salt River was in Shelby County and that south of the river was in Nelson.
The Hills built their log cabins in 1784, some two miles west of Taylorsville on the Boston Branch of Salt River.
Dear Savvy Senior
What are the 2011 IRS income tax filing requirements for seniors? I had to file and pay federal income taxes last year, but my income dropped and I'm wondering if I'm exempt this year.
Recently Retired
Dear Retired,
In 1776, when Thomas Jefferson wrote the wonderful Declaration of Independence, he listed the pursuit of happiness as an "inalienable right," just after "life" and "liberty."
Could he and John Adams and others have ever expected that some day people would ever think that "happiness" includes things like a huge TV set, a fancy watch or automobile, or a larger, more luxurious home, or some form of cosmetic surgery?
There is a very popular dish in my house. I serve it mostly at lunch but occasionally it shows up at dinner too. My daughter christened it with the heart-melting name, "Mommy Potatoes."
I suppose every day is potentially skunk season, but right about now things start to heat up.
Mating season is upon us so skunks are on the move a bit more than usual. I have been reminded as such by a faint funk in the garage every morning this past week. I learned a serious lesson several years back when the dog got a direct shot to the face and we had a lingering stench that was otherworldly.
Getting a message out to the masses has never been so convenient, and the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture is no stranger to engaging multi-generational, diverse audiences. It was a natural progression for the college to develop a strong social media presence.
U.S. corn for grain production was estimated at 12.4 billion bushels, up slightly from the Nov. 1 forecast but 1 percent below 2010. The average yield was estimated at 147.2 bushels per acre. This was up 0.5 bushel from the Nov. forecast but 5.6 bushels below the 2010 average yield of 152.8 bushels.
Aaron Ashley of Taylorsville was named to the Morehead State University dean's list for the 2011 fall semester.
To be named to the list, a student must be enrolled on a full-time basis and achieve at least a 3.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale for the current semester.

Our tips can turn discomfort into power
"What's done to children, they will do to society."
"Parents do not know what they are choosing, and physicians do not feel what they are doing."
"In response to circumcision, the baby cries a helpless, panicky, breathless, high-pitched cry!...[or] lapses into a semi-coma. Both of these states...are abnormal states in the newborn."
"Doctors who circumcise are the most resistant to change. They will not admit that they made a critical mistake by amputating an important part of the penis."
"In this case, the old dictum 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' seems to make good sense."
"A whole life can be shaped by an old trauma, remembered or not."
"If we are to have real peace, we must begin with the children."
"We are interconnected. When a baby boy's sexuality is not safe, no one's sexuality is safe."
Male and Female Genital Cutting Compared
American male genital cutting and African female genital cutting have similarities.
- Over 100 million procedures have been performed on current populations.
- They are unnecessary, extremely painful, and traumatic.
- They can have adverse sexual and psychological effects.
- They are generally done by force on children.
- They are generally supported by local medical doctors.
- Pertinent biological facts are not generally known where procedures are practiced.*
- They are defended with reasons such as tradition, religion, aesthetics, cleanliness, and health. These reasons are used to mask underlying reasons.
- Those who are cut have a compulsion to repeat their trauma on their children, a symptom of post-traumatic stress disorder.
- The choice may be motivated by underlying psychosexual reasons.
- The rationale has currently or historically been connected to controlling sexual pleasure.
- They are often believed to have no effect on normal sexual functioning.
- They are generally accepted and supported by those who have been subjected to them.
- The decision is generally controlled by men though women may be supportive.
- Critical public discussion is generally taboo where they are practiced.
- They can result in serious complications that can lead to death.
- The adverse effects are hidden by repression and denial.
- Dozens of potentially harmful physiological, emotional, behavioral, sexual, and social effects on individuals and societies have never been studied.
- The harm starts with the first cut, ANY cut.
- They violate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
- Male and female genital cutting often exist together. Cut men often have a compulsion to cut women**
- To stop one, we must stop both. Then we may better develop toward our individual and social potential. May courage overcome conformity.
* For example, most American medical doctors do not know the functions of the foreskin.
** A form of American female genital cutting is episiotomy, an obstetrical ritual that may precede hospital childbirth. It is unnecessary like other unnecessary surgeries on women.

I was pretty sure that the GOP had gotten rid of Newt Gingrich back in the 1990s in the same way you'd scrape dog poop off the sole of your shoe, but through some totally inconceivable twist of fate, he's back:
Republican voters' esteem for Newt Gingrich has been rising fast. At this rate it might someday equal, though not surpass, his regard for himself. Gingrich is not a person with an ego. He's an ego with a person.
Just listen to his explanation of why it took him a while to catch on with voters: "Because I am much like Reagan and Margaret Thatcher, I'm such an unconventional political figure that you really need to design a unique campaign that fits the way I operate and what I'm trying to do."
Other GOP candidates sound like they are merely campaigning for office. Gingrich, however, hurls verbal thunderbolts like Zeus, as the lights flicker and the earth shakes. Hopelessly in love with the sound of his own voice, he exhibits a stern, overbearing self-assurance that gives his pronouncements weight even when he is uttering nonsense.
[. . .]
Still, it's hard to believe his campaign will survive extended scrutiny. One reason is his know-it-all personality. George W. Bush was the guy you'd like to have a beer with. Gingrich is the guy you wouldn't want to be stuck next to on a long flight.
[. . .]
It's not just this administration that causes him to shoot blood out of his eyes. He said Muslims should not be allowed to build a mosque near Ground Zero "so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia." He said that "our elites are trying to create amnesia so that we literally have generations who have no idea what it means to be an American." Newt loves to conjure up terrifying monsters that only he can vanquish.
At moments like these it's hard to know whether he suffers intermittent derangement or simply will stop at nothing to demonize political opponents. Either way, he bears no resemblance to anyone Americans have ever entrusted with the presidency. Gingrich is, as he says, unique. That's just the problem.

Providers of insurance in the bike industry now found in our system are able to cover the Indian brand as well as other popular U.S. manufactured motorcycles at affordable prices
Baton Rouge, LA (PRWEB) February 13, 2014
Locating insurance protection plans for non-motor vehicles is now expected to be simpler for U.S. adults who use the Auto Pros search tools online. This company has added Indian motorcycle insurance quotes to its system at http://autoprosusa.com/insurance. New bike insurers specializing in Indian brand bikes can now be searched online.
The real time system that is designed to produce insurance quotes is helping to remove offline struggles to find motorcycle protection plans. Because some auto insurers do not offer bike insurance, bikers can have fewer options to search for companies able to protect certain brands of motorcycles in the U.S.
"Providers of insurance in the bike industry now found in our system are able to cover the Indian brand as well as other popular U.S. manufactured motorcycles at affordable prices," said one Auto Pros company source.
One immediate advantage that owners of new or used motorcycles receive when accessing the Auto Pros system is the display of companies providing import bike protection. Bikes from Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and other foreign manufacturers can now be protected through the additional insurers quoting plans inside the search system.
"Many of the plans that are available are liability plans although these can be customized when each provider is selected online to make sure each biker has access to the right level of insurance protection," the source said.
The Auto Pros company research platform available online is capable of extending more coverage to owners of all vehicle types. The insurance finder system has expanded the research in the U.S. to find different insurance agencies. The warranties that some companies underwrite can be found through http://autoprosusa.com/auto-warranty.
American users of this research tool online can review any warranty type after entering their engine mileage and mailing address zip code. This helps to discover the very best discounts available through the search system that is now automated online.
About AutoProsUSA.com
The AutoProsUSA.com company supplies motorcycle owners and automobile owners with trusted ways to find insurance through leading agencies in the U.S. A quotes system was built that provides a way to explore different agency pricing through a secure search platform online. The AutoProsUSA.com company continues to update the providers that exist inside the public system online and increases the research possibilities for car owners. The support that this company offers through its website pages and phone call center helps distribute immediate responses to customer requests for more information.

2 shot in DeKalb home invasion
- Story Highlights
- They were shot when intruders forced their way inside a residence in the 4200 block of Rue Dartagnan.
Two people were shot early Tuesday when intruders forced their way into a DeKalb County residence, police said.
About 1 a.m., police responded to the 4200 block of Rue Dartagnan, spokeswoman Shiera Campbell said. During the incident, a man knocked on the door, and when a woman answered, two people forced their way into the residence, Campbell said.
The intruders ransacked the residence and left without taking anything, police said.
The 57-year-old woman had a hand wound, and a 27-year-old man was injured in the leg.
The residents were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with wounds that were not considered life threatening, Campbell said. The investigation is ongoing.

Natural Cancer Treatments for Advanced Cancer Patients
R. Webster Kehr has developed a web site: Cancer Tutor. In this site he gives new hope to advanced cancer patients. These patients have usually had significant orthodox cancer treatments including chemotherapy, radiation and surgery and have had to quite prematurely or found the treatments ineffective. Others who have been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, brain stem cancer or glioblastoma for example would also be considered advance cancer patients.
Natural cancer treatments are by definition cancer treatments which come from Mother Nature. They are more commonly called "alternative cancer treatments." Most people know absolutely nothing about Mother Nature and cancer. This is truly unfortunate.
As an example of the effectiveness of alternative cancer treatments consider that the late Dr. William D. Kelley, a dentist by training, used alternative cancer treatments to treat more than 33,000 cancer patients. He used special diets, proteolytic enzymes, and other natural substances. He was able to cure more than 90% of the newly diagnosed cancer patients who went to him first.
Since 2003 the Cancer Tutor website has been considered to be among the most important websites on the Internet on the subject of alternative cancer treatments. This website contains three free eBooks and scores of articles related to treating cancer with alternative cancer treatments. A network of cancer researchers have contributed to the articles and treatments discussed on this website!
To learn more go to the Cancer Tutor web site.

Thursday: Reception
Friday-Saturday: Full days
Sunday: Morning
Does planning your course make you feel like you are in a race to complete a list of content from the ever-expanding textbook? Do you dread giving yet another lecture about dimensional analysis? Imagine a general chemistry classroom where instead of listening to a lecture, students are leading a discussion about the chemistry behind climate issues. Imagine students studying, but instead of making flashcards and lists, they are engaging with complex civic issues and devising potential approaches to solve them. Imagine yourself with a renewed enthusiasm for the craft of teaching.
Our goal is that you, as a participant, will leave this workshop with a concrete plan for a redesigned course that provides a transformative learning experience, redefines student success and moves responsibility for learning from the professor to the student. We have achieved notable student gains by redesigning our general chemistry course around climate issues (ground-level pollution, stratospheric ozone depletion and global climate change). The facilitators will lead you through the process of writing effective goals, mapping activities to your goals, incorporating active learning strategies and choosing relevant assessment options.
Using conceptual frameworks from Wiggins and McTighe, this workshop will provide participants with a roadmap for transforming their teaching through effective course design. To provide context for redesigning your own course, you will participate in actual hands-on activities from our own redesigned course as well as analyze student work samples. The majority of your time will be spent working in small groups on your own course, sharing ideas and exploring effective strategies.

The Lamptron FC5V3 is a 6-channel, 30 watt per channel manual fan controller. It has the many of the same features as the FC5V2, but adds a few more features, the most notable of which is that it increases the number of channels from 4 to 6. It is available in black anodized aluminum and silver and fits into a 5.25-inch drive bay. The product is not yet available, so we can only speculate on what the price will be, but Lamptron's website lists an MSRP of $89.99. Since Lamptron's controllers usually sell for less than the MSRP, and the FC5V2 sold for about $55, we can probably assume a price between $55 and $89.99.
The FC5V3 includes 6 temperature probles, 4 3-pin extension cables for the fans, a Molex cable and mounting screws. There is also a braided extension cable provided for the power connector. Since the maximum power required by the controller is 180 watts (6 x 30 watts), a 500 watt or greater PSU is recommended. Each channel provides the full range of 0V-12V meaning you can switch fans off at will, distinguishing the FC5V3 from many other fan controllers. One of the new features of V3 of this fan controller is "start boost voltage", which means that each fan gets an initial 12-volt boost, which should enable you to quickly find the lowest voltage for each fan. This can be disabled using a jumper on the PCB.
The circuitry of the FCV3 is ontained on a single PCB, which contains the 6 3-pin fan headers and 6 2-pin temperature probe connectors, the cables for the fans and the temperature sensors are included in the box, and the fan cables are braided.
Temperature can be toggled between Celsius and Fahrenheit, and, as with the FCV2, current voltage, RPM and temperature are displayed simultaneously for each channel. The far right dial also acts as a control button to toggle the alarm function (the V3 boasts 3 different alarm modes). The FC5V3 has a wider display than the FC5V2 to accommodate the additional two fan channels. The FC5V3 doubles the number of available colors for the display from 8 to 16, and they can be toggled using the first dial, which can be pushed in flush with the front of the panel when it is not needed. This is an improvement over the FC5V2, which requires the use of jumpers on the PCB to change the display color.
The Lamptron FC5V3 looks to be another reliable Lamptron product, and offers enough improvements over V2 (most notably, 2 extra channels, 16 display colors instead of 8, and the start boost voltage feature) to make it a compelling offering. Consumers looking for a budget model, however, would probably be better off with the Sunbeamtech Rheosmart 6, my favorite budget fan controller, or the Bitfenix Recon, which is not only moderately priced ($39.99), but can be controlled via the Internet. Consumers just looking for a basic manual fan controller and who are not put off by the Lamptron's (projected) higher price will undoubtedly like the FC5's simple-yet-elegant look (no cheap plastic here; the front is either brushed aluminum or silver). Those consumers should give the Lamptron FC5V3 consideration.
Lamptron FC5V3 Specifications:
- Dimension: 148.5mm*42.5mm*63mm(5.25″ Bay)
- LCD Dimensions: 136mm*19mm (wide screen)
- Power Output: Up to 30 watts per channel
- Control Channel: 6 Channels

CELTIC fans must repay the club by packing Parkhead after Hoops chiefs listened to their voice and voted against the newco Rangers joining the SPL, according to the Celtic Supporters' Association.
The Hoops were one of the sides to reject accepting Charles Green's club into the SPL, despite worrying suggestions of financial ruin for most top-flight teams.
Former captain Tom Boyd yesterday urged fans to keep attending Celtic Park even though the Old Firm derby will be missing from the fixture list, and now Joe O'Rourke, the general secretary of the Celtic Supporters' Association, has echoed those comments.
"We will do what we have always done, which is approach as many people as possible and encourage them to come and support Celtic Football Club," he told celticfc.net.
"The best way to do that is by buying a ticket and walking through the turnstiles."
The vast majority of Celtic fans wanted the club to vote against the parachuting of newco Rangers into the SPL and O'Rourke hopes those fans do not now shy away from matches.
He said: "What I would say to the Celtic support now is that you asked the club to behave in a certain way and conduct business in a certain manner. The vast majority of supporters asked the club to oppose a Newco parachuting straight into the SPL.
"The club has done that, the club has fulfilled your wishes and, obviously, that means that Celtic will have to take a big financial hit from this, losing the guaranteed income that comes from the derby games.
"We cannot ask the club to do that and then not support them ourselves."
On a personal level O'Rourke revealed he was pleased to see the unity shown by Scottish clubs over the Rangers matter and praised the club's stance.
"I have been very surprised and encouraged by just how many supporters from different clubs accepted and argued that we had to do what was right and I really hope it bodes well for the future," he said.
"I have been surprised by the level of opposition to the Newco and I genuinely didn't expect it.
"I think a lot of clubs were forced to take their strong positions on the matter by their supporters. I don't think that's how they would have voted had they not been told to do what was right.
"I have been delighted with Celtic's position on this and I think that the club has played a blinder. They have acted 100 per cent correctly, right throughout."

More about Professional Certification:
Working with you as you progress through the Professional Training Program requires administrative time and attention, and there are separate charges related to this process. $500 is payable to Sacred Centers for the Professional certification process. Or instead, you can choose to pay $24/month for 2-years/24-months payment plan. This is similar to taking courses at a university, where the fee for credit is higher than for those auditing the course. It does not change the cost of a workshop, which is rarely handled by Sacred Centers, but is payable separately as a monthly payment play or a one-time fee for participation in the Professional Certification Training. This fee can be paid at any time, (in full or on a payment plan) but must be paid prior to graduation. The $500 payment is NOT required for Co-Heart Certification.
Mentoring and supervision are part of the process as well. Appropriate mentors are found for each student, with fees payable directly to these mentors at a range of $70-$200/hour. How many hours you need is up to the director and mentor, and may vary. Purchase A Private Session with Anodea Judith. Books and materials vary and are the responsibility of the student. Often books may be obtained at a discount for students in this training.
Please note: Most of this material cannot be taught electronically, but only experienced. You must be present to win! If you are interested in pursuing this life-changing program, please contact us through the information below. But remember, we like to get to know you first! We strongly suggest you take a course or two before applying for the Co-Heart or Professional Certification Program.
Chakra Blessings,
Anodea Judith

General Information: Pertinent to all Specializations
When a student is complete with their enrollment materials, the Program Coordinator will contact them to set up an initial session. This will include learning about the program's offerings, classes, requirements, as well as focusing on a student's learning goals. It is potentially a good time for asking questions, setting intentions, receiving guidance and focus. Within 1-2 months of enrolling, students will be given an opportunity to join a Co-Heart Kin-dom, a small group of students who are moving through the program approximately at the same time and rate as they are. This will provide support, co-learning, personal and professional growth and potential collaboration. In addition, Sacred Centers will be offering regularly scheduled teleclasses for students to deepen their learning.

Seeds of the cornflower (Centaurea cyanus). Photograph by Esme Webb
How Love burns through the Putting in the Seed
On through the watching for that early birth
When, just as the soil tarnishes with weed,
The sturdy seedling with arched body comes
Shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs.
???Robert Frost, "Putting in the Seed"
For some, it's planting fall bulbs and anticipating the explosion of spring color, for others it's edging out a brand new perennial bed. For me, the most thrilling aspect of being a gardener is sowing a seed and watching it spring to life. It feels nothing short of miraculous every single time, and success depends on exactly the right conditions. This post is a small introduction to my first year as a gardener at the Cloisters, and my adventures in propagation so far.
I trained as a gardener at Wave Hill, a fantastic public garden just up the river from us. I learned a great many things there, but Wave Hill's chief propagator, Susannah Strazzera, really fostered my interest in propagation. It was at Wave Hill that I first learned the ins and outs of "pricking out," "potting up," and "growing on," as well as the function of mysteriously named tools like "dibbles" and "widgers." (The former is used to make planting holes, the latter is used for transplanting delicate seedlings without disturbing their roots.) Growing plants from seed reminded me of cooking???another interest of mine???which may be why I found it so appealing. Part science and part art, propagation requires not only an understanding of what a seed needs to germinate successfully, but also a willingness to experiment and to follow your instincts. Most of all, you need to keep strict records so that you can duplicate your successes and not your mistakes!

The Cloisters grows many rare or difficult-to-find species. It's sometimes easier for us to find seed of the plants we need than to find the plants themselves, so it is extremely important to have a good propagation program. While many of the seeds we use will germinate quickly and easily in potting mix or garden soil under a fairly wide range of conditions (sesame, wallflower, and green orach all germinated readily for me this spring), some plants have very specific temperature and light requirements. Still other plants require complicated rotations between cold and warm temperatures, a process known as stratification, and can take many months or even years to germinate. These kinds of plants are especially difficult for us to grow. Lady's mantle, acanthus, and deadly nightshade all fit in this category, as they may require careful monitoring and greenhouse environments to germinate.

This year, with only modest equipment and space, I was able to grow an exciting list of species. The following plants were propagated with only seed trays or flats, capillary mats, germination mix, and simple grow lights: purple foxglove, violas, mullein, calendula, gum arabic, Jacob's ladder, sesame, columbine, lupine, dianthus, English daisy, creeping thyme, green orach, stavesacre, wallflower, cornflower, Dutch field peas, collard greens, arugula, bottle gourd, sea holly, viper's bugloss, dame's rocket, and downy thornapple. (Some of these plants were lucky enough to have been featured on the blog.)
The sesame (Sesamum indicum) was a particularly fun plant to grow, because it had been many years since we'd seen it here at the Cloisters and I wasn't at all sure what to expect. (For a wonderful history of sesame, see "Open, Sesame," August 3, 2012). I sowed the sesame seeds indoors in early May at about 70 degrees and they germinated within five days. About two weeks later, I pricked them out ("pricking out" means to separate and pot up individual seedlings in their own containers) and, two weeks after that, planted them in Bonnefont garden. They started to produce flowers in July, and continued to flower well into September.
Stavesacre (Delphinium staphisagria), growing on in a plastic propagation pot. Photograph by Esme Webb
Another exciting one to try was the stavesacre (Delphinium staphisagria). This beautiful, Mediterranean plant is generally grown as an annual in our part of the world. We had a specimen growing in our cold frames, from which I collected seed in August, eager to see if I could grow it on through the winter. I experimented with about a dozen seeds in a flat and waited for signs of germination. For five weeks nothing happened and I was ready to give up on them completely when???finally???germination! I potted up several healthy specimens that we may try to overwinter in cold frames, but if they don't make it we'll be prepared to start them from seed again in the spring.
Gum arabic (Acacia senegal) propagated from seed and growing in Bonnefont garden. Photograph by Esme Webb
All seeds require some form of scarification, or alteration to their seed coat, before they will germinate. With many seeds this is achieved simply by immersion in damp soil. For others, the freeze and thaw of winter and spring is what is needed to break down the seed's coat. Other seeds, such as those of the plant gum arabic (Acacia senegal) require even more dramatic scarification. I immersed the large seeds of the gum arabic in boiling water for about a minute before transferring them to a cold bath for twenty-four hours and then sowing them in a flat. A short three days later, the gum arabic had germinated very well. Seed packets generally come with specific instructions on scarification and sowing???if not, refer to a trusted seed-starting book for instructions.
My propagation efforts this year have been relatively modest and experimental, but next year I hope to tackle a broader variety of plants. I hope to continue posting about my successes???and failures???with more detailed explanations of our methods and equipment. You'll hear from me in the spring, when the real fun begins!

I feel so bad for Oda. What talent. I feel like his Karma changed with that DUI. I hope he finds his way.
I don't see Frank willing to take on another top competitor. Yes he has only Mirai right now, but given his age and the fact that he finally has OGM, I can see him retiring in near future. I think he needs to stay away from authoritarian coach, so that rules out Russian and Japanese coaches (and dare I say his mother).
I feel so bad for Oda. What talent. I feel like his Karma changed with that DUI. I hope he finds his way.
I certainly suppose that DUI would have had negative psychological effects on Nob (perhaps there would have been post-tramatic growth, too, though). But let's not forget that Nob's comeback skates have been pretty fantastic overall and judges love him, too. Look at his GOEs. Very few can match, except for Yuna. Besides, it's not that he started to make bizarre mistakes for the first time after that. He missed a ticket to Torino Olympics and a World medal for Zayak. Morosov would have been a great help to him in boosting his confidence. Yet I liked David Wilson programs better and it would be cool if he returns to him.
Looking back, I also liked Nob's SPs and LPs by Morosov and esp. Chaplin, but I hope that he would sell his programs more in the next seasons.
Who do you think Nob will choose? I feel that it may actually work better for him to pick a Japanese coach because his univ has a fab rink. The Sato family and Takeshi Honda are taken. I wonder if Mr. Nagakubo is available. He seems like a warm person whom Akiko Suzuki trusts very much. Akiko says that she came back because of him. But he is in Nagoya and Nob's in Osaka.
Javier seems to have everything a coach could want to work with. I hope he leans to the west when seeking a choreographer, at least..Mind you , I'm also very thrilled with Kenzi Miyamoto's work...
Does anyone know whether Daisuke Murakami will go to Russia? I have no news about him.
Many think that Russia's pool of a 11-14 year olds is actually deeper than the United States and Japan. I like Ksensia though and I think if she can get the lutz and better choregraphy she could be competitive. But she has her work cut out for her.

Oda said today, I had heard he might move the home rink in January but didnt know it meant Russia at all. We would go with the coach wherever he wants to go. I dont know a lot about it because we have not talked yet.
This sounds really strange. Does Oda still want to do with Morozov while Morozov doesnt want to continue?
Lots of news reported that Morozov clealy said the contract between him and Oda was finished and the only Japanese skater he can trust is Miki
Huh, sounds strange to me, too. And the link seems such a reliable source. It says it is a web version of an information magazine of Kansai University (his and Dai's Univ).
Let me give you guys translation:
ニコライ・モロゾフコーチとの契約解消が伝えられたが「モロゾフ先生からは、1月の五輪前に、 拠点を移すか もしれない、という話があった。ロシアという話は全然聞いていなかった。コーチがやりやすい環 境で、ぼくた ちはそれに帯同していく形になる。そのあたりは何もわかりません。まだ何も話し合っていないの で 」と視線 を下にやった。
The termination of contract with Coach Nicholai Morosov has been reported (by the media). But "In Jan before the Oly, Teacher Morosov told me/us that he might relocate. I did not hear at all that it would be Russia. We follow to the place(s) which Coach finds fine. I do not know anything about it. We have not talked anything yet..." He looked down.

Staff at Sainsbury's in Calne raised £1,500 for Sports Relief on Friday through a 32.6 mile cycle ride visiting other local stores and a flash mob to Black Lace by Superman.
Eight employees, including the store's new manager Craig Hussey, spent over four hours on the road cycling to other Sainsbury's stores in Devizes, Melksham and Chippenham.
Employee Lynn Clark, who took part in the cycle ride, said overall Sainsbury's stores across England have raised £6.5 million for Sports Relief.
She said: "It's nice to be part of that, it's pretty cool. We started at the same time. We all finished together, and we all got round, so that was the most important thing.
"The scenery on the route was amazing. Going up the hill to Devizes was tough, I had to walk that one, but going from Devizes along the locks was lovely."

July: Blue Ribbon Veggies
This month, Kip divulges the best of the best in vegetable seeds
After 20 years of sampling the seemingly limitless inventory of vegetable seeds available in the market — of sowing, and watching our foster children grow and perform on the garden stage — it should be reasonable to suppose that we have settled on some favorites. That supposition is correct. Not for us, any policy such as you might hear expressed in regard to human children: "We love them all equally." Oh no, we are stern critics, and not afraid to let the plants know what we think, or to banish them if they disappoint us.
The vegetables described below are the stars of the show and will remain on the bill until brighter ones arise and force the old into retirement. Seeds for all of these varieties (except the potato) are available from the sources mentioned in our January and February reports.
The humble bean, you say? Small indeed, a haricot vert, the bush bean 'Nickel' produces abundant yields of exquisite stringless pods, a gourmet's delight. Nothing humble about 'Fortex' however — the larger these pole beans get (up to a foot long and as thick as my little finger), the better they taste.
Three rising stars in our garden are 'Alcosa' (savoy), 'Gonzales' (green) and 'Red Express' (red). These are small meal-size cabbages, succulent and flavorful, and bred for close (one foot apart) spacing and earliness. I've eaten 'Alcosa' already this season.
Not for me the great white curd — I'll take 'Violet Queen,' a purple type that's grown for fall harvest and is arguably better-tasting than any other cauli, or any broccoli for that matter.
Except for pickling, 'Diva' is the only cuke I need to grow. It's the one that will change the mind of people who think cucumbers don't agree with them. I once belonged in that camp.
The blue, forearm-thick, winter-hardy kind are what I like. Right now 'Arkansas' is master of the class.
This may surprise you, but there are so many fabulous varieties that it's scarcely possible to choose just a few. The key to eating the best lettuce you've ever known is growing your own — you simply cannot buy great lettuce in the supermarket. If nothing else, you must try homegrown 'Buttercrunch.'
Why grow your own onions? 'Ailsa Craig Exhibition' is why. But you'll have to start them indoors from seed in mid-February. Take it from someone who takes great pains to avoid trouble: they're worth the trouble.
Again the question: Why grow your own? This question is asked only by gardeners who have never mined 'Red Gold.'
They're fun to grow for many reasons, but for the best of all possible worlds, 'Kakai' is highly ornamental in still-life arrangements and additionally is filled with delicious hull-less seeds.
Summer Squash
Almost all summer squash is great when picked small, but 'Costata Romanesco' (a zucchini type) is in a class of its own.
Swiss Chard
Yeah, I know — you grow it by the bale. Still, for compact growth habit and succulence, 'Silverado' is nonpareil.
Shall I list my 50 favorite varieties? I think not, lest you send me a list of your favorite 50. 'Brandywine' has been all the rage for the past decade, and if you like that one, then you will surely love 'Rose'.
I hope this helps.

OK this had been a weird two weeks. I have another really weird thing happen to me this week. I guess I must be attracting the immature losers out there because this kind of goes along with last weeks WTFriday moment, but this time I was on an escalator and it was my daughter and I again. My poor girl is going to think this world is full of freaks. Too be honest, I don't think she would be totally "off" thinking that!
So this is what happened this week.
My daughter and I were at the Mall on an escalator. You know that weird silence when you and a stranger meet eyes? Well usually I just smile and say hello, or just nod my head. Today I had one of those weird eye locks with a man on the opposite escalator as my daughter and I were leaning on the outer railing, so we could see the other side. I smiled and said hello and this guy immediately stuck his tongue out at me…seriously. My daughter said "WHAT?!" I looked down as the guy was going down as I was going up and he didn't have any expression at all, just was standing there.
I just told my daughter…"Boy it's been a weird two weeks and I have nothing to say about that…that guy is strange." She agreed and we went up to do our shopping. Wow…two weeks in a row and I have encountered three very immature strange men. This escalator guy was it least 30 something, maybe even 40's. What kind of men is Ohio raising…geez!!!
Remember I want your WTFriday moment. Does not have to happen on a Friday, it is just shared on a Friday!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Elected officials who signed a letter endorsing Matthew Borges (BOHR'-jihs) as the next chairman of the Ohio Republican Party have asked him to resolve and explain the tax liens he's accrued before Friday's election.
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Secretary of State Jon Husted (HYOO'-sted) expressed disappointment that Borges hadn't made them aware of the liens before he sought their backing.
Borges' attorney said Monday his client owes $168,161 in federal taxes and $4,198 to the state following a recent adjustment.
DeWine said he told Borges he owes everyone an explanation for how the unpaid debts were accumulated. Husted said he asked Borges to resolve the debts before the GOP State Central Committee votes Friday.
Attorney Robert Onda said Borges plans to pay all but a disputed 2006 lien by Tuesday.

The Tropicana closed its 17-month-old poker room Tuesday, apparently after facing tough competition from other casinos.
The closure was reported by Anthony Curtis' Las Vegas Advisor website, and it was confirmed late Tuesday by the Tropicana.
"As part of our continuing transformation of Tropicana Las Vegas, we have decided to close our poker room in order to move forward with our construction plans for that section of our property. The hard work by our outstanding team members in the poker room has not gone unnoticed and we are currently seeking alternative opportunities for them at Tropicana Las Vegas," the casino said in a statement.
After closing in November 2008, the room reopened in April 2011. In February it was named the Gold Room in honor of World Series of Poker 2006 winner Jamie Gold.
The casino didn't immediately say how many workers were affected or what would be built in the space of the poker room.

Chapter Forty-two. The Military, Civil Disorder, and Natural Disasters, 1877–2007
Charles A. Byler

Militaries exist primarily to fight wars, but the historical record is filled with examples of the military serving other purposes as well. A significant aspect of the American military's experience from the late nineteenth century onward involved efforts to re-establish order in cases of civil unrest or to relieve the distress caused by natural disasters. The military's responsibility for helping to maintain domestic order and aid disaster victims meant that soldiers have played an important part in momentous events in the nation's past, including such human-instigated actions as strikes, race riots, and antiwar protests and such acts of nature as floods, earthquakes, and hurricanes. Considering the importance of the military's role in responding to civil disturbances and natural calamities, surprisingly few scholars have written works that focus on the subject of military intervention. Books on specific episodes of disorder and disaster are more common, but many of them merely describe the actions of the troops and offer little analysis of the legal, political, and operational issues that have arisen when soldiers appear on the streets to restore order or assist the victims of disaster. Although the scholarship on military intervention in cases of domestic disorder is not extensive, enough exists to help define some key issues regarding the subject. One issue concerns the decision ... log in or subscribe to read full text
