VERGENNES — Vergennes officials have begun taking steps they believe will lead to safer downtown crosswalks for pedestrians and schoolchildren.
At the Nov. 29 city council meeting, aldermen agreed the city's Water Tower Fund could be used to pay for some improvements, possibly sooner than later, and added Aldermen Matt Chabot and Mark Koenig to a task force that is looking at ways to improve pedestrian safety.

VERGENNES —Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday officially renamed a city-owned cemetery on Mountain View Lane the "Vergennes Burying Ground."
In other business, aldermen:
• Went into an executive session to discuss potential purchases of properties for a new police station. City Manager Mel Hawley said on Wednesday that per the laws governing such sessions "no minutes were taken," and no decisions were made after the session.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes City Council on Tuesday unanimously adopted a revised set of zoning regulations that reflect the newly created Historic Neighborhood and Northern Gateway districts, and also endorsed the first rewrite of the city's subdivision laws since the 1970s.
It was in 2009, after approval of the updated city plan, that officials began revising the related zoning and subdivision regulations.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday approved the first increase in the municipal portion of the city tax rate since 2008, a 2-cent hike that will bring it to about 62.3 cents for the 2012-2013 fiscal year that begins on July 1.
Addison Northwest Supervisory Union officials and City Manager Mel Hawley expect the city's residential school rate to drop by a little bit less than a penny, meaning the overall residential property rate in Vergennes should rise by a little more than a penny.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen and planners on Tuesday agreed on a series of tweaks to proposed zoning regulations and said they hope to schedule a public hearing on the new rules by mid-July.
Most of the changes agreed upon at a council meeting attended by six members of the planning commission derived from testimony at the council's May 8 public hearing on the proposed laws:
• Multi-family homes will be allowed in the Otter Creek Basin District, as suggested by a property owner.
VERGENNES — In addition to discussing new zoning at a Tuesday meeting, the Vergennes City Council also took care of a number of other issues. At the June 12 meeting, aldermen:
• Said they would not take up the issue of a new policy for displays on the city green — notably including the longstanding Christian crèche — until July. Before then, the latest draft of a policy will circulate to council members and then be posted at vergennes.org.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen at their May 22 meeting began their work on the 2012-2013 city budget by agreeing with City Manager Mel Hawley's recommendations for fire and sewer department spending, Mayor Michael Daniels said the next day.
Daniels said aldermen moved quickly on Hawley's $123,100 Vergennes Fire Department proposal because it will allow city officials to mail out contracts promptly to the other towns that share that cost with the city: Ferrisburgh, Panton and Waltham.
VERGENNES — Members of the Vergennes City Council held their annual goal-setting discussion at a meeting last Tuesday, May 22. Here is what each alderman said:
• Ziggy Comeau said she would like to continue to establish better dialogue with surrounding towns. "If something comes up, we have to communicate with each other," she said.
• Randy Ouellette said he would like to make sure the annual Youth Fishing Derby continues to run smoothly, and to "come up with a plan" and a site for the new police station.
VERGENNES — The Vergennes Planning Commission agreed on Monday to recommend that Vergennes aldermen make changes to proposed new zoning regulations based on testimony at the council's May 8 public hearing.
The recommendations, according to planning chairman Shannon Haggett, will include a relaxed lot-frontage requirement in the new Historic Neighborhood District and a provision to allow multi-family housing in the Basin District.
Each recommendation was made after careful consideration at a two-and-a-half hour meeting, Haggett said.

Great Lakes show massive ice loss, study says
Journal of Climate study attributes shrinking ice cover to global warming
Most of the water in the Great Lakes hasn't frozen over this year — largely because of a warmer-than-usual winter — and a new study shows the lakes have been losing ice cover for 40 years.
Lake Superior is the coldest of the Great Lakes. Yet only a thin layer of ice surrounds a cargo ship in the Thunder Bay, Ont., harbour. Past the breakwall, there's no ice at all.
Thunder Bay Port Authority CEO Tim Heney, a 20 year-veteran in his industry, said the lack of ice is remarkable.
"It's the first time I ever remember the water being open right into Thunder Bay," Heney said. "I've never seen this before."
According to a new study published in the Journal of Climate, the Great Lakes have lost more than two-thirds of their ice cover over the last four decades. Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair lost the least (50 per cent), while Lake Ontario has lost the most ice (88 per cent). That's more than even the study's lead author, ice climatologist Jia Wang, expected.
"It's really, really huge," he said.
Adam Cornwell, an assistant professor of geography at Lakehead University, said Wang's findings are consistent with other climate research — all of which sends a powerful message.
"What's happening on the Great Lakes is an immediate reminder that our climate is changing and the expectations that we've had in the past aren't going to hold true for the future," Cornwell said.
"And one of those expectations is a season of ice cover on the Great Lakes."
The study noted that ice cover varies from year to year, depending on whether cold or warm systems are passing through. But it attributes the overall ice decrease to global warming — a factor that can affect fish and marine plants.
The impact isn't just environmental, according to the study. Ships could be forced to navigate lower water levels as less ice results in more evaporation.
"We could be changing to a regime even just over the next 30 years where ice-free seasons happen more often than not," Cornwell said.

- Should we use ASM jar as is (make the dependency public) or use re-rooted versions that cannot conflict?
- Scala: 2.10+ uses ASM 4.1, subsetted, and rerooted to scala.tools.asm
- Groovy: 2.1 (latest stable) uses ASM 4.0 external, 2.2 (next) uses ASM 4.1 external
- JRuby: 1.7.4 (latest stable) uses ASM 4.1 (I think)0, subsetted, and rerooted to org.jruby.org.objectweb.asm. According to Charles Nutter 1.7.x will stay on 4.0. As of Feb. 19, 2014 the version on master has been bumped to 4.2 as 5.0 is currently in beta.
- Recommend: re-root to avoid conflicts

|Dirty Spank
Short review: These girls are punished to the full extent of the law as they are bent over and given a stinging spanking on their asses. The ladies are getting some ass reddening action as they are punished by paddling, over the knee spanking, strappings, and more. The spanking is a little on the lighter side, but there still may be a few scenes inside that are hardcore enough for the true spanko fetishist.
Content Amount: I really wished there was more content inside the site. However they are updating it rather frequently so that they can keep adding more new sets. They seem to be under construction as they are adding a whole network of fetish sites in the near future.

Five2Nine Productions' Currents series of online videos came full circle last month when Ottawa-based videographer Mike McKay returned to Hood River, Ore., for the third time to shoot whitewater paddling on the White Salmon, Little White and other Class V creeks. McKay and his Vancouver-based friend, Steve Arns, traveled to Hood River on a whim in December 2009.
"At the time I didn't really have an idea what I wanted to do, other than go to different places and tell stories," recalls McKay, who works as a financial planner and whose monthly seven- to 10-minute documentaries now garner 3,500 to 4,000 full views on Vimeo. "But I was so impressed with the river, not just as a paddling area but all around—there are some really cool breweries, amazing pizza and great taco places. I knew there was something special there."
On their initial visit, McKay and Arns were oblivious to the fact that Hood River was ground zero for the second largest dam removal project in the U.S.—a plan to pull the 125-foot plug on the White Salmon River known as the Condit Dam, which has been blocking salmon spawning grounds and flooding out epic whitewater for nearly a century. After spending more than a year chronicling the often-depressing world of at-risk rivers from Canada to Thailand, McKay teamed up with C&K and returned to Hood River this June to complete his documentary on the inspiring efforts of the Columbia Riverkeeper, American Whitewater, American Rivers, Friends of the Columbia Gorge, and the Freshwater Trust, in freeing the White Salmon of its concrete shackles.
" Tune in to CanoeKayak.com tomorrow morning for the exclusive debut of the episode ".
And so McKay, Arns and Currents TV return to their beginning with a compelling harbinger of hope for the future. Notably, in the upcoming August episode of Currents TV, set in California, McKay used solar power exclusively to film, log and edit footage. McKay says innovative ideas like this represent the future of his work. "A unique spin where we can say, 'Hey, this actually worked,'" he says. "It's just one of the little things we can do."
Canoe & Kayak: The latest episode feels like a good news story compared to most of the other river advocacy issues you've covered. Is it that way for you?
Mike McKay: In many ways the story of Condit Dam served as a way to conclude a longer story that was running throughout all of the episodes that I have done up to this point. Since there has been so much on the subject of dams in Currents, I felt that for a number of reasons the Condit story really brought a lot of the episodes together and it is really great to do so with a positive note. However, I didn't want to spin it like I was "covering" the story by any means. There are some great groups doing that already (American Whitewater for example). Instead, I really like the idea of highlighting the involvement of the paddling community and the energy behind the removal. I think that is what makes this so special.
The Condit is the one story I've covered that has a real ending. That will happen in October when we see the river flowing as it should be. It is exciting to share a small part of that.
What's the significance of the dam removal from a whitewater paddler's standpoint? Well, first of all I would state the obvious and that would be the flow of the river. It's going to be special to see the White Salmon River flowing naturally. After all I have learned along this project it is such an amazing thing to see the power of a river and its ecosystem. That needs to be connected and here we will see that. It is an amazing thing. Secondly, I think the most significant outcome is knowing that these successes can really happen. Paddlers had a voice in this from the ground up. That gives hope to all the other people fighting for their rivers around the world.
How important is this ecologically? I think you will see a revived river a lot sooner than many would expect. Rivers can heal themselves quickly when put in a connected state. Once the sediment is cleared from upstream and the river is flowing in it's natural state life will begin to thrive again. Salmon will spawn in that section of the White Salmon again, minerals and sediment will flow continuously, and the ecosystem will come back to life. I can't wait to see what happens!
What's the significance of attempting to produce upcoming episodes using only solar power? Are you trying to prove something? Doing a clip from start to finish with solar power really represents "the power we don't use." It's easy to get this discouraged feeling that every area has the same problem and is struggling with the question: What is green energy? People don't have good things to say about wind, solar is expensive and hydroelectricity is obviously not green. … So I got to thinking that the greenest energy is the energy you don't use at all.
There is a real disconnect between where you get your power and how you use it. This is really evident the more remote the rivers are. I was shooting on the Romaine River [in northern Quebec] when I realized that people needed to be aware of where their power comes from. I am sure that people in New York City don't think of the ecosystems in Quebec that were destroyed to charge their iPhones. Another example is the rivers being dammed in Costa Rica to power air conditioning in resorts. The resorts are defined as "eco-tourism" but they are destroying the areas that supported their resorts in the first place. It doesn't make sense.
I really hate to say that it feels like, as paddlers, we are in a losing battle as a small demographic standing up for waterways. I had put some thought into the idea of what is it that people can do to reduce the need for all these rivers to be dammed. Long story short, I wanted to move more toward not just making people aware of the threats but ways that we could start to fight the demand in little ways.
What are you learning from the solar experiment? I expected to have some glitches. I figured it would make it entertaining from a documentary point of view to see some things fail. But in the end I've learned that this technology is legit. It went super-smooth and there were no problems at all. The Goal Zero products work really well and it is something I am now using at home to power my small devices. Solar is a real-deal technology that is only getting better and should be incorporated into the home.
Do you have a story that should be told in Currents? If so, contact McKay at email@example.com. Check out the two latest Currents episodes below, the first on the recent Whitewater Grand Prix and Hell or High Water events and the second on the fragile ecology of Turrialba, Costa Rica.

EXCLUSIVE: Channel Four chief executive discusses Tessa Ross' departure and future strategy.
Channel 4 chief executive David Abraham has told ScreenDaily that Film4's formula of supporting a combination of new voices and established indie talent "will remain the same" after Tessa Ross' departure in September.
Ross' unexpected departure has prompted a swell of praise for the executive, but also concern from some industry about stability within the broadcaster's film arm, which is yet to replace deputy head of film Katherine Butler, who departed in February to join indie Raw TV, and is now to lose its figurehead.
"There is no hole to fill," assured Abraham. "Tessa will be around until September and there is strength and breadth in the team who are currently handling large parts of the slate."
Abraham said that current and future projects on Film4's slate would get the team's full attention during the transition.
"It's a reasonable concern and observation," he continued "but it's my job and Tessa's job to make sure projects are looked after. We're used to transitions and we'll handle this well."
The Channel 4 boss added that the decision not to replace deputy head of film Katherine Butler, who left to join indie Raw in February, is motivated by a desire to foster internal opportunities for existing staff rather than cost-cutting.
Abraham confirmed that Film4's film budget will remain at £15m going forward and that its core philosophy will not waver under new leadership.
"The formula will remain the same," Abraham told Screen. "Whoever assumes Tessa's position will have their own passions and over time we will follow those but there won't be a significant alteration to the objectives of Film4, which are written into our remit."
Abraham was speaking to Screen following Wednesday's surprise news that long-time film and drama controller Ross will leave the company in September to become CEO of the National Theatre.
He described Ross' exit as a "bittersweet moment" for him personally: "You can't hold people back from the next big thing they are capable of doing," he said. "From a personal point of view I'm thrilled that Tessa is achieving further ambition in such a prominent national role. I'm sure we'll be collaborating in the future."
Abraham, who will now begin the search for Ross' replacement, described the role as a "tremendously coveted job": "I'm confident there will be a fantastic field of people who will be interested in taking this forward. In the meantime Tessa will be around to make sure there is continuity."

Hedge funds increased bets on lower gold prices after investors pulled a record $20.8 billion from bullion funds this year while BlackRock Inc., the world's biggest money manager, said it's still bullish.
Speculators held 67,374 so-called short contracts on May 7, 6.4% more than a week earlier, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. The net-long position dropped 10% to 49,260 futures and options. Net-bullish wagers across 18 U.S.-traded raw materials climbed 5.8% to 582,265, with gains for cocoa, cotton and hogs.
Gold is having its worst start to a year since 1982 after dropping 15% and sliding into a bear market in April. Holdings in exchange-traded funds backed by bullion tumbled to the lowest since July 2011 even as central banks print money on an unprecedented scale to boost growth. BlackRock's President Robert Kapito said May 9 he would still buy the metal, echoing billionaire John Paulson, who's sticking with a bullish view even after losing 27% in his Gold Fund last month.
"People have been told the world is going to end for five years, and it hasn't, so they're finally moving on," said James Paulsen, the Minneapolis-based chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management, which oversees $325 billion of assets. "So even when crisis flashes now, you don't get the same upside, and then in good times, you get more downside, and that's what you're getting in gold as the Armageddon premium is coming out."
Gold Declines
Gold futures fell 1.9% to $1,436.60 an ounce on the Comex in New York last week. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Spot Index of 24 commodities slid 0.3%, and the MSCI All- Country World of equities added 0.9%. The dollar climbed 1.2% against a basket of six major currencies. A Bank of America Corp. Index shows Treasuries dropped 0.6%. Gold for June delivery fell 0.6% to $1,427.40 an ounce by 6:35 a.m. in New York.
Bullion slumped last week after a May 9 government report showed the average number of Americans filing for jobless benefits over the past month dropped to the lowest since November 2007. Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President Charles Plosser said that day unemployment will probably decline to 7% at the end of 2013 and he would favor reducing the Fed's $85 billion monthly pace of bond purchases next month. Plosser doesn't vote on policy this year.

Notwithstanding the way that we rely on upon helpful authorities to recoup and recovery us, sometimes they don't give the thought we require and merit. Things we decried in the later past, for instance the capacity to walk, eat up, or grab a living, could be taken away when a part of the medicinal calling gives an omission. Medicinal thoughtlessness lawsuits hold masters, support, recovering centers, and helpful staff careful when they don't furnish the best possible standard of expectant thought to patients.

On the topic of the attack in Libya, Obama said he went out to the White House Rose Garden the day after the attack and called it an act of terror.
Romney immediately pounced and confidently called out Obama saying, "I want to make sure we get that for the record, because it took the President 14 days before he called the attack in Benghazi an act of terror."
Obama then called for moderator Candy Crowley to "get the transcript," and that's when things got awkward for Romney.
Watch Candy Crowley fact check Mitt Romney below.
More importantly, conservatives are furious that Romney didn't 'score' on this topic, which they thought was a chip-shot.// OO.ready(function() { OO.Player.create('ooyalaplayer', 'FqZjg4Njo6Rib3BcMQOybsenbWmtIewT'); }); //

HP dates NVIDIA on Valentine's Day. We get Z1 workstation.
Subject: General Tech, Systems | February 17, 2012 - 10:39 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: workstation, nvidia, hp
Here is a story for the professional computer users out there.
Professionals have standards: be polite, be efficient, and have a multi-year plan to cram as much hardware into a small case as you can seat. NVIDIA and HP have obviously played too much Team Fortress -- or I did -- let us just all three of us have. The engineers have dispensed with the desktop tower and crammed everything in the monitor with their Z1 product series. While not original, it does hold a number of nice features.
… But honestly, what the user really wants is for it to dispense Bonk!
As soon as I read the announcement I immediately jumped over to HP's product page and confirmed the existence of external display connections. Sure enough, HP did not entirely botch this product and allows the connection of one extra monitor by display port. While being limited to just two monitors is a bit disappointing -- I currently have a three monitor setup -- if they were to introduce a workstation computer with just a single monitor it would have been product suicide. Thankfully they had enough sense.
The real flaunted feature of the Z1 workstation is its ease of upgrade. The included power supply is rated at 400W which to my knowledge is decent for a single-card workstation class computer. HP claims support for up to 2 internal 2.5-inch drives or a single 3.5-inch drive; unfortunately they do not clarify whether you can install all three drives, or if you must choose between the one larger versus the two smaller drives.
HP and NVIDIA go on a date -- they dress workstation classual.
The workstation is expected to start at $1899 when it ships sometime around April. Unfortunately HP's technical specifications list an Intel Core i3 and Integrated HD 2000 GPU -- most likely to hide the price of the products with the components that you actually want. I guess you will need to wait a couple of months to find out what you will actually be paying.

text: Powell's long-awaited video Fun premiered last night to a packed house in El Cajon, California in conjunction with Black Wax skate shop. The house was full of enthusiastic skate rats, and not just from East County. After a short introduction from Jordan Hoffart and Powell TM Deville, the video started. The theme of having fun was immediately apparent and carried through to the end of the video. To give you a little tease: Josh Hawkins is an innovative Arizona desert shredder, Derek Elmendorf has some crazed truck-to-rail action, Ben Hatchell is a certified show-stealer, John White—nollie pop shove-it to frontside feeble a rail, and Jordan Hoffart with a two-song ender. Steve Cab had a couple cameo clips as did the Powell flow/upstarts. Disappointingly, there is no Danny Wainwright footage. All in all, it was a successful premiere, everyone in attendance left full of stoke—damn the new breed is good! Kudos to Powell—Fun is well-worth the wait.

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict shocked the world on Monday by saying he no longer had the mental and physical strength to cope with his ministry, in an announcement that left his aides "incredulous" and will make him the first pontiff to step down since the Middle Ages.
The German-born Pope, 85, hailed as a hero by conservative Roman Catholics and viewed with suspicion by liberals, told cardinals in Latin that his strength had deteriorated recently. He will step down on February 28 and the Vatican expects a new Pope to be chosen by the end of March.
Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said the Pope had not decided to resign because of "difficulties in the papacy" and the move had been a surprise, indicating that even his inner circle was unaware that he was about to quit.
The Pope does not fear schism in the Church after his resignation, the spokesman said.
The Pope's leadership of 1.2 billion Catholics has been beset by child sexual abuse crises that tarnished the Church, one address in which he upset Muslims and a scandal over the leaking of his private papers by his personal butler.
The pope told the cardinals that in order to govern "...both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months, has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.
"For this reason, and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom I declare that I renounce the ministry of Bishop of Rome, Successor of Saint Peter."
He also referred to "today's world, subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith."
The last Pope to resign willingly was Celestine V in 1294 after reigning for only five months, his resignation was known as "the great refusal" and was condemned by the poet Dante in the "Divine Comedy". Gregory XII reluctantly abdicated in 1415 to end a dispute with a rival claimant to the papacy.
Before he was elected Pope, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger was known by such critical epithets as "God's rottweiler" because of his stern stand on theological issues.
But after several years into his new job Benedict showed that he not only did not bite but barely even barked.
In recent months, the pope has looked increasingly frail in public, sometimes being helped to walk by those around him.
Lombardi ruled out depression or uncertainty as being behind the resignation, saying the move was not due to any specific illness, just advancing age.
The Pope had shown "great courage, determination" aware of the "great problems the church faces today", he said, adding the timing may have reflected the Pope's desire to avoid the exhausting rush of Easter engagements.
There was no outside pressure and Benedict took his "personal decision" in the last few months, he added.
Israel's Chief Rabbi praised Benedict's inter-faith outreach and wished him good health. The Archbishop of Canterbury, head of the Anglican Church, said he had learned of the Pope's decision with a heavy heart but complete understanding.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said the Pope's decision must be respected if he feels he is too weak to carry out his duties. British Prime Minister David Cameron said: "He will be missed as a spiritual leader to millions."
The pontiff would step down from 2 p.m. ET on February 28, leaving the office vacant until a successor was chosen to Benedict who succeeded John Paul, one of history's most popular pontiffs, the spokesman said.
Elected to the papacy on April 19, 2005 when he was 78 - 20 years older than John Paul was when he was elected - Benedict ruled over a slower-paced, more cerebral and less impulsive Vatican.
But while conservatives cheered him for trying to reaffirm traditional Catholic identity, his critics accused him of turning back the clock on reforms by nearly half a century and hurting dialogue with Muslims, Jews and other Christians.
Under the German's meek demeanor lay a steely intellect ready to dissect theological works for their dogmatic purity and debate fiercely against dissenters.
After appearing uncomfortable in the limelight at the start, he began feeling at home with his new job and showed that he intended to be Pope in his way.
Despite great reverence for his charismatic, globe-trotting predecessor -- whom he put on the fast track to sainthood and whom he beatified in 2011 -- aides said he was determined not to change his quiet manner to imitate John Paul's style.
A quiet, professorial type who relaxed by playing the piano, he managed to show the world the gentle side of the man who was the Vatican's chief doctrinal enforcer for nearly a quarter of a century.
The first German pope for some 1,000 years and the second non-Italian in a row, he traveled regularly, making about four foreign trips a year, but never managed to draw the oceanic crowds of his predecessor.
The child abuse scandals hounded most of his papacy. He ordered an official inquiry into abuse in Ireland, which led to the resignation of several bishops.
Scandal from a source much closer to home hit in 2012 when the pontiff's butler, responsible for dressing him and bringing him meals, was found to be the source of leaked documents alleging corruption in the Vatican's business dealings, causing an international furor.
He confronted his own country's past when he visited the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz.
Calling himself "a son of Germany", he prayed and asked why God was silent when 1.5 million victims, most of them Jews, died there during World War Two.
Ratzinger served in the Hitler Youth during World War Two when membership was compulsory. He was never a member of the Nazi party and his family opposed Adolf Hitler's regime.
But his trip to Germany also prompted the first major crisis of his pontificate. In a university lecture he quoted a 14th century Byzantine emperor as saying Islam had only brought evil to the world and that it was spread by the sword.
After protests that included attacks on churches in the Middle East and the killing of a nun in Somalia, the Pope later said he regretted any misunderstanding the speech caused.
In a move that was widely seen as conciliatory, in late 2006 he made a historic trip to predominantly Muslim Turkey and prayed in Istanbul's Blue Mosque with a Turkish Mufti.
But months later, former Iranian President Mohammad Khatami met the Pope and said wounds between Christians and Muslims were still "very deep" as a result of the Regensburg speech.

Rapid and Sensitive Determination of Bacteria in Water Using Nanoparticles
Fellow: Yuhui Jin, Department of Chemistry, UND
Advisor: Julia Xiaojun Zhao, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, UND
Matching Support: Department of Chemistry, UND
Degree Progress: Ph.D. expected in May 2009.
Project Background:
Bacteria can grow or re-grow in distribution systems of drinking water. In fact, potable water is a major source of some bacteria colonization. Given the low infectious dose of pathogenic bacteria, the presence of even a single bacterium in potable water may pose a serious health risk. Therefore, sensitive and rapid detection of bacteria in water is critical.
However, the current definitive method for the detection of bacteria is the culture of the organism, which requires about 24 hours for bacterial growth. The method is too slow to meet the public need. The PCR-based method can detect bacteria within 6 hours; but the method requires pre-enrichment of the target bacteria. The proposed method will be able to specifically identify target pathogenic bacteria at a single bacterium level within 30 minutes in water samples. The method will be accurate, rapid and sensitive to meet the public need.
In the first step, the quantum dot-like luminescent silica nanoparticles were developed. These luminescent silica nanoparticles can be excited by a single wavelength excitation source, and give out light with different emission wavelength. This property will benefit the simultaneously detection of different kind of bacteria targets.
In the second step, lab-made bacteria samples have been detected by these quantum dot-like luminescent silica nanoparticles by spectro-fluorometer and fluorescence microscope.
Finally, samples which are colleted from North Dakota water system, will be studied by using this method.
The rapid and sensitive determination of pathogenic bacteria is extremely important in biotechnology, medical diagnosis, and bacteria sample analysis. Current methods either lack ultrasensitivity or take a long time for analysis. The bioconjugated nanoparticles-based assay can be used for in situ pathogen quantification, and provides a fast and sensitive technique for bacteria determination.

9:00 PM (6 Mondays)
at Seattle Insight Meditation Center, (2729 6th Ave. S., Seattle, 98134) (Map It)
About Insight Meditation
Insight meditation also known as mindfulness or vipassana meditation comes from the Buddhist tradition. It aims to free the mind from the distortions of self-centeredness, negativity, and confusion. Seeing life as a constantly changing process, one begins to accept pleasure and pain, fear and joy, and all aspects of life with increasing balance and equanimity. This balanced awareness, grounded in the present moment, leads to stillness and a growing understanding of the nature of life. Out of this seeing emerges wisdom and compassion.
It is a moment-to-moment investigation of the mind and body process. Our experience is explored from a balanced and spacious awareness which allows the heart to flower in love. During these six weeks there will be meditation instructions, talks about the philosophy of the practice, homework assignments, and time for discussion and questions.

Food, Inc. may well be the most important, perspective-altering documentary you'll ever digest. Informed by author/activists Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (The Omnivore's Dilemma), documentarian Robert Kenner exposes the evolution of food production from the venerable family farm to rapacious big agri-business.
To paraphrase Participant Media, the film's producer, our food supply is a near-monopoly in the hands of just a few mighty agri-businesses that put profit ahead of consumer health, the health of the environment, the livelihood of the American farmer, or worker safety. We have chickens with overblown breasts, the "perfect" pork chop, indestructible soybeans, and tomatoes with unnaturally long shelf lives, but we also have virulent new strains of E. coli, the harmful bacteria that sickens an estimated 73,000 Americans each year, and sometimes kills them. Obesity is widespread, and what used to be called "adult-onset diabetes" is now common among children.
The film posits that the industry doesn't want us to know the truth; Pollan states that there is even an effort afoot to make it illegal to publish photos of any industrial food operation. Yet despite the fact that the subject matter could easily lend itself to a grim, preachy or even alarmist attitude, Food, Inc. succeeds by engendering an uplifting spirit of hope in its audience.
The film documents how government agencies act in collusion with agri-business, and have gradually eroded the stringency applied to regulations and inspections. This comes as no surprise as we are shown a parade of individuals who graduated from big-ag lobbyists to government officials.
We learn that Monsanto has patented the genetic blueprint of soy, meaning that, for all intents and purposes, Monsanto holds the patent on the soybean. If a small farmer declines to use Monsanto's methodology, and a breeze carries Monsanto's soybean DNA to that farmer's fields, the company can sue for patent infringement.
We see how corn and soy are distributed as cattle feed at prices contrived to be kept below the cost of production. The problem is that cows eat grass naturally, not corn; as a result of improper diet and inhumane treatment, many of them fall ill. In order to prevent illness, antibiotics are administered prophylactically in their feed. Hormones are added as well to artificially promote faster growth. Ultimately, we consume the meat from those animals. Similarly, Monsanto's genetically engineered soybeans can thrive despite heavy applications of pesticides and herbicides, which ultimately wind up on our plates.
We are given a peek into the enormous, dark, overcrowded, inhumane chicken houses maintained by factory farms - a peek, because permission to photograph the operation is not granted, and Perdue declined to comment.
All is not doom and gloom, however. We meet Joel Salatin, sanguine patriarch of a family owned, local-market farm, who fills us with hope as he exhibits the evidence that sustainable farming is a viable alternative. Salatin raises beef, pork, and poultry according to nature's guiding principles. Pasture-raised and free from antibiotics and hormones, his environmentally accountable, eco-minded philosophy sets an example for a new movement in holistic farming. An affable and engaging spokesman, he motivates us to weigh in with our wallets every time we shop for groceries.
A sequence near the conclusion of Food, Inc. appears to unquestioningly sing the praises of Walmart for responding to consumers' current clamor for organic options on their shopping trips. We can't help but wonder if Walmart will ultimately warp the definition of organic standards as defined by the USDA in their abiding quest to keep prices low. After all, it is possible to maintain the letter of the law while skirting its intent. But maybe the "bad guys" really do wear white hats on occasion; it remains to be seen.
For anyone not yet conversant with the issues, the information in Food, Inc. is presented in a non-threatening and compelling manner; for those of us already attuned to those issues, it's a satisfying review. But in linking all the pieces to form the big picture, the significant takeaway from this film is that food is a political issue. Americans may want to trust that we will be taken care of, but we have learned that the industries that purport to protect us cannot be trusted. This film demonstrates that we need to approach agri-business with exactly the same skepticism we extend to banking, insurance, housing and health care. Most of our food doesn't come from a bucolic setting with a red barn on a green pasture surrounded by a white fence. They're gaming the system, and there is a high cost associated with low cost food. And unlike other big institutions, no one is excluded from the food supply.
Food, Inc. reminds us that we can make difference, however. The current state of Big Tobacco serves as a perfect model: by diminishing the demand for a product, we can effectively rout an entire industry. Our dollars are our ballots in this battle and, thanks to our actions, the tobacco industry is moribund. If you need inspiration to change the way you shop for food, go see this movie - then persuade everyone you know to see it as well.

The ADAP Recertification Process; the Frustration Mounts! Important: Make Sure All Your Contact Info Is Up to Date!
By Kevin Maloney
February 25, 2012
This article originally appeared on the ADAP Advocacy Association Blog.
The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services' Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) -- which oversees HIV/AIDS support and services in the United States -- nearly a year ago put into place a rule that all 56 AIDS Drug Assistance Programs (ADAPs) must recertify its clients every six months. While very few states have complied from the beginning, it's not until most recently that letters have begun going out like rapid fire to ADAP enrollees in MANY states.
Horror stories are popping up all over as people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs) are finding out the process to recertify is time consuming, frustrating and not very "user friendly." Individuals have talked about it taking hours at a time to complete the process. For those who fail to recertify on-time they are being dropped from the program. This recertification process is causing yet another barrier to access to care that should be a seamless process for PLWHA.
There is NO uniformity across ADAPs to this process. Individuals have been required to gather financial and health information, be denied for other programs first (Medicare/Medicaid) and provide the denial letters. Also no time frame exists as to when one must recertify. Is it 10 days, a month, or 6 weeks? Some states are sending out first notices, will there be a second and third notice? Will there be a follow-up phone call too? What if recertification notices arrive while a patient is in the hospital for a lengthy stay? What if someone hasn't updated their address and/or phone number in a long time and is incommunicado?
The frustration level over this process is really beginning to mount and will only become more frustrating to advocates, health professionals, case managers, and more importantly PLWHA as more recertification notices start going out.
Yes, ultimately the responsibility lies on the client to remember their recertification date, update their address, take time out of their busy schedules, gather documents, and be sure to cross the T's and dot the I's! Oh, and guess what? It's time to recertify again!
As mentioned above, if patients fail to recertify, then they will be dropped, which may mean now going onto a waitlist, and/or having a lapse in coverage with no access to medication. Those receiving ADAP should be sure that their contact information is up-to-date with their respective state health department, local health department and case managers.
Wouldn't it be better if this process occurred every one or two years instead? Had uniformity, and was more user-friendly? Weigh in below on what is happening with regard to recertification in your state, and with any comments or thoughts on this issue.

Random things about me: I am kind, caring, respectful and wanting to make a difference/impact in the World. I've been to Australia, New Zealand and 13 countries in Europe, and have traveled and lived all over the United States. I have a Bachelor's degree in Health Services Management and will be working towards my Master's In Public Health. I am an uncle of two of the MOST adorable girls in the World, and have one brother. I am a Momma's boy, and it is hard to see my mother's health in such a deteriorated state -- she has severe COPD (from 40 years of smoking). In March 2010 I was told that I have HIV and a month later, with follow-up labs, was then told I also acquired hepatitis C (not through IV drug use). I aspire to great things. Stay tuned.

Bella Spinner needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 113 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Bella Spinner Designs
30 years ago, my mom made Christmas spider ornaments and webs and sold them at a craft fair. I have one on my Christmas tree and always get comments on it. This year we decided to make a new batch, and I have so many ornaments (and had such fun doing it) that I intend to sell them. I've attached a photo so you can see what they look like.
Bella Spinner Designs is a made up name, playing off "pretty spider", but generic enough that I could use it if I decided to expand my inventory.
I'm really excited about this project, and will be giving (at least) daily feedback!
Affluent women who enjoy buying pretty things and are attracted to the combination of beauty and whimsy in my ornaments.
I expect to sell primarily online (via etsy), and also potentially through local craft shops and craft fairs.
My customers are likely to buy these items as gifts, so the look should be high-end.
Classy, clean, with perhaps a touch of whimsy.
I do not want the design to explicitly reference spiders or webs. It could possibly be incorporated in a very subtle way.
I do not want the design to be 'Christmas-y' as the name was chosen to be useful year-round.
I'm open to a design that uses the initials BSD, but am more interested in keeping the words spelled out. It's very important that the typeface be legible.
The logo should work either in black & white or in color. I'm open to color combinations (and like color), but am currently using forest green boxes, which I intend to label with the logo via a sticker (foil?) on top, so it would be great to coordinate. I'll use tissue paper inside that color coordinates based on what you come up with.
Because I want to use the logo on a sticker, it should render well at a ~1.5"x2.5" size (proportions to be determined by the logo, of course).
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo.
I'll need files in the following formats:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd file (RGB)

Tyler Walker wins downhill title at 2013 IPC Alpine Skiing World Cup Finals
SOCHI, Russia — Firm, soft, slushy and hard - skiers had to deal with all types of snow conditions in Sochi, Russia, on Friday, as the sun bore down on the slopes on the first day of competition at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Alpine Skiing World Cup Finals.
Team USA's Tyler Walker tightened up his line after the training run and took a more controlled approach to improve to the gold medal in the men's sitting downhill race in 1:23.62.
"The run went really well," Walker said. "It was just a perfect combination of conditions to benefit myself."
"It was soft and bumpy and technical and turning. It had a big jump in it and I do well in all of those things. I'm one of the smaller guys out there, so I don't do well on the long flat tucking courses, but this was perfect - and it showed."
France's Vincent Gauthier-Manuel took gold in the men's standing in 1:22.84. Russia's 15-year-old Alexey Bugaev won silver in 1:23.09 and world champion Markus Salcher of Austria picked up bronze in 1:23.26.
The men's sitting event faced delays as the hot sun bore down on the slope, with several athletes unable to finish the event.
France's Yohann Taberlet was not far behind, finishing in 1:23.81 and Japan's Takeshi Suzuki took bronze in 1:27.29.
In the women's sitting, Germany's Anna Schaffelhuber was the only skier to finish the race, with a time of 1:33.79.
"It's a tough course, a really difficult course," she said. "At the end it's really bumpy. The first pitch was bad on the training run ... but for me it went OK."
The conditions were especially challenging for the visually impaired skiers at the competition, which is also serving as the Sochi test event.
In the men's visually impaired class, Spain's world champion Jon Santacana guided by Miguel Galindo Garces took gold in 1:22.25.
"The jumps were the most difficult part," said Galindo after the race. "Because Jon doesn't see where to start and finish the jump, so it's very difficult for us, but he had a good training."
Slovakia's Miroslav Haraus guided Maria Zatovicova was not far behind in second (1:22.75), and Canada's Chris Williamson took bronze in 1:23.05 guided by Robin Femy.
Russia's Alexandra Frantseva picked up gold on her home slope in the women's visually impaired class, guided by Pavel Zabotin (1:13.54).
Great Britain's Jade Etherington was the only other skier to complete the course, finishing in 1:17.32. It was the 22year-old's first time racing a downhill with her new guide John Clark, and she looked confident on the jumps, keeping a good distance with her guide.
"Today was my first ever downhill, so this morning I was just trying to get a feel of how different it was to super-G," Etherington said. "We finished fourth in training, but I was just really happy that we had a good solid run.
"We got silver at my first-ever World Cup, so I'm really, really happy."
World champion Henrieta Farkasova of Slovakia did not compete because of an injury she sustained at the World Championships a few weeks prior.
In the women's standing, France's Marie Bochet, world champion in the event, had the winning time of 1:31.30 after taking a spill in the morning's training, which she put down to tiredness.
"I didn't finish my training run, so for me the race was a training run," Bochet said.
"For me this is a test event. I'm not looking at my results. I just want to get to know the race slope and take in the ambiance of Sochi.
"I think it's nice here. The snow is a little different to (the rest of) Europe and it's very hot weather."
Germany's Andrea Rothfuss took silver (1:32.52) and Russia's Inga Medvedeva took bronze (1:32.72) in the event.
The event continues through Tuesday (12 March) and will be streamed live on ParalympicSport.TV and fans can also follow the action on Twitter at @IPCAlpine and on Facebook at Facebook.com/IPCAlpineSkiing.

Pratt & Whitney provides newly manufactured parts for customers operating both current production engines such as the F100 (F-15, F-16), F117 (C-17) and F119 (F-22) and out of production engines like the J52 (EA-6B), TF30 (F-111) and TF33 (B-52, KC-135E, JSTARS, AWACS). Customer requirements for new engine parts stem from the normal wear and tear associated with military missions to planned maintenance intervals to perform engine overhauls to ensure flight safety. Spare parts are ordered by our customers through a variety of contractual agreements to support flight line, intermediate and depot maintenance needs.
To ensure availability, Pratt & Whitney maintains a large supplier base with the expertise to provide semi-finished items for final processing at Pratt & Whitney facilities or manufactured Pratt & Whitney finished parts. All suppliers to Pratt & Whitney must satisfy stringent quality standards established by Pratt & Whitney and the U.S. government for uncompromised flight safety and war fighter readiness.
Our Repair Development Engineering group is dedicated to developing new repairs and reliability enhancements to increase fleet readiness and decrease total cost of ownership. Our Repair Clinic process is typical of our aggressive approach to lowering the cost of ownership. With our Repair Clinic, we look at the high volume/high value items in the customer's scrap bin and develop repairs that produce reliable, quality parts. Our large portfolio of repair capabilities is constantly growing, thanks to the Repair Clinics and a team of more than 140 development engineers—innovators who are constantly looking for solutions to emerging material stress conditions.
Pratt & Whitney Serviceable Military Assets (SMA) located in San Antonio, offers repaired or serviceable parts to customers as an alternative to new parts. Used/serviceable parts offer a benefit in terms of cost and order delivery time. With lengthening lead times associated with alloy melting, casting and forging, customers with unplanned maintenance needs can find themselves facing new parts lead times that would drive engine availability below acceptable levels. In other cases customers may have limited budgets for maintenance or be nearing weapon system retirement. In both these cases the availability of used/serviceable parts can greatly decrease wait time to a matter of days or weeks and can represent a significant savings over a new part.

We want to wish all the students who will be going back to school a safe and wonderful school year. Starting a new school year is exciting, especially for students who will be heading off to their first year at college. Leaving home for the first time can be fun, but stressful for both students and parents alike. In order to alleviate the stress we created a Dorm Life Checklist. Making your dorm room the perfect home away from home pad can seem like a challenge at first. Often a dorm consists of plain old furniture, small windows, and carpeting that has seen better days. Your first gut instinct is why bother when youll be moving out again in 9 months. But remember, your dorm room is your first home away from home and a place where youll be studying and hanging out with friends, so coming up with the right dcor and items that fit your style is worth the effort. Plus, it can be very fun, too!
Here is a check list of the items youll need to make your dorm room an inspiring place you call home.
So as your summer draws to a close, you join young adults from across the country who will be heading to their first year at college. Be safe and have fun!
Parents we know you are nervous about sending your irreplaceable child off to his/her first college school year. Take a breath and remember back to your college life, you did it, you made it, and so will your child.
Helping them be prepared is your biggest gift. We hope that these tips from BUNN, your favorite coffee beverage equipment company, will help you through this exciting passage in your childs life.

Spectacular Hotels Designed by Famous Architects
When Frank Lloyd Wright said that "a great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart," surely he was alluding to the fact that travel and exploration are important aspects of any designer's process. Seriously, what better way to feed your soul and get the creative juices flowing than a fabulous get-away in an inspiring and culturally significant hotel?
A testament to the splendor of heart-driven design, we've married two of our favorite things – extraordinary hotels and stunning architecture – to bring you our guide to the most architecturally significant hotels in the world. From Frank Gehry's iridescent design set against a medieval backdrop in Spain's Rioja wine region to a recently renovated mid-century icon by John Lautner to Renzo Piano's whimsical update of an old Fiat factory in Italy, click through to check out these visionary and inspiring designs. Let us know in the comments which one you'll be booking for your next creative crusade!

Gilley's, the iconic Texas honky tonk that was featured in the 1980 movie "Urban Cowboy," has crossed the Red River into Oklahoma.
Yep, the cowboy hot spot is now open in the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant.
One of only three Gilley's in the United States, Gilley's at Choctaw is in the space previously occupied by the Diamondback Lounge. Gilley's offers a full-service restaurant and night club with 176 seats, two bars with a draught beer system offering up to eight different beers on tap, a dance floor and, of course, a mechanical bull like the one seen in the movie starring John Travolta. Playing off the movie, Gilley's offers a 32-ounce man-sized beer called Bud and a 16-ounce beer named Sissy.
What's more, there's a 500-square-foot performance stage smack in the center of the venue offering 360-degree views. That makes for great people watching — on the dance floor and off. But two-stepping isn't the only action going on here. With 15 high-definition LCD televisions and one eight-foot projector screen, Gilley's promises to be a great place to watch televised sports. Think Bedlam football with OSU versus OU.
The original Gilley's, founded by country singer Mickey Gilley in Pasadena, Texas, burned in 1989. The brand was acquired by a developer who opened Gilley's in Dallas in 2003.
And now a little bit of that Gilley's history has found a home in the Choctaw Casino Resort. The resort includes the Grand Tower with 330 hotel rooms, the Choctaw Inn with 101 rooms, a natatorium, fitness center, conference and business center, five restaurants, a food court, a 175-seat amphitheater, an 1,100 seat performance venue and more than 4,000 slot machines, 30 poker tables and 51 table games
Choctaw Casino Resort is at 4216 S Highway 69/75 in Durant. For more information, call (888) OK CHOCTAW.

Top 5 Salary Negotiation Mistakes
What mistakes have you made?
If you want to make adults squirm like kindergartners, broach the subject of salary negotiation. Talking money makes most workers uncomfortable. And while they want such talks to succeed, they make plenty of blunders. If only they had some basic negotiation guidelines.
So what's the best way to avoid stumbling and also boost your confidence? Rebecca Warriner, a job search coach and owner of Woodland Recruiting, a Seattle-based recruitment and outplacement firm, has some salary negotiation tips when pursuing a win-win situation for you and the employer—rather than starting out defensively, assuming you're going to get a low offer. Warriner notes, "Salary negotiation is a dialogue that the company and the candidate should be having throughout the hiring process. It should not be a one-time conversation at the end." She says to embrace your power and how it relates to the negotiation.
Warriner, who's been on both sides of salary negotiation for over 15 years, offers a handy list of negotiation mistakes to avoid.
1. Being unprepared. "I get pretty frustrated as a recruiter when I ask somebody, 'What are your expectations as far as pay goes?' [and they do not have an answer]," says Warriner. She suggests doing some homework, and then determining what you'd like to earn. Warriner recommends several methods, including using salary information Web sites, talking to recruiters, asking friends who work in human resources, or connecting with local professional organizations that have salary information.
Once you have a solid answer, practice it. Get in front of the mirror, look yourself in the eye and say, "I earned $55,000 at my last job and I am targeting the $60,000s in this job search." If you feel you were underpaid in your last gig but aren't sure about bringing it up, Warriner advises raising the topic in a positive light, underscoring that you'd like to increase your earnings as you make your next career move to better reflect your skills and experience. It pays to be confident with your salary negotiation counteroffer, she adds.
2. Playing games. Telling a prospective employer what you think they want to hear is risky business. "Oftentimes, a candidate will say that they are very flexible; that they are willing to take a step back in pay. Don't say you're really flexible if you're not," Warriner says. She points out that this approach assumes the company will be more invested in and attached to you at the end of the interview process, and therefore willing to offer you more money than you first asked for—but they won't be.

Here's a view at the top picks from the Your Turn Photo Contest: Night Moves
The exact ingredients to make a snowboard photo successful takes more than one might think. Many of the important factors are linking up with a rider who has great style and one that is down for the effort to "get the shot." Then comes the photographer who needs to have great timing, experience with his equipment, and a vision for an image before shooting. These are just some of the elements and they change from shoot to shoot and from one day to the next. The more you shoot the better chance you will get at making images that catch the true attention of the viewer.
Within this gallery of images for the Your Turn Photo Contest themed "Night Moves," you will find which photographers did link up with a good snowboarder and utilize the proper elements of photography. Their photos will stick out from the rest.
We feel the best image out of this gallery comes from the photographer Kolya Tsare who submitted a photo of Dima Rodnikov gapping to a billboard wallride in the city of St. Petersburg, Russia.

Area of Physics
Research Interests
Professor Lee's main research interests lie in the study of strongly correlated electronic systems. These are materials where the interactions between electrons play a crucial role and lead to novel phenomena not explainable by single electron band structure effects. Examples include the quantum Hall effect, mesoscopic systems, and effects due to disorder.
More recently, Professor Lee's research is focused on the problem of high temperature superconductivity. The starting point of this work is that the new family of superconductors is an example of the doped Mott insulator. The parent material is an antiferromagnetic insulator that is insulating due to correlation effects. Doping introduces carriers into the insulator, leading to a rich variety of novel phenomena including superconductivity. Methods of attack include many-body field theory and numerical work.
Biographical Sketch
Professor Lee joined the MIT Department of Physics in 1982 after approximately ten years with the Theoretical Physics Department at Bell Laboratories. He has made key contributions to the theory of disordered electronic systems and is a pioneer in "mesoscopic physics," the study of small devices at low temperatures. Professor Lee introduced the concept of universal conductance fluctuations to describe such devices. For this, and other contributions to condensed matter physics, he was awarded the 2005 Dirac Medal of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics and the Oliver Buckley Prize of the American Physical Society. Professor Lee's current research interests focus on high temperature superconductors.

Actress Natasha Richardson, critically injured in a skiing accident, was on a flight to the United States, Britain's Press Association news agency said Tuesday, quoting Sacre-Coeur Hospital.
The report didn't say where in the U.S. the flight was headed.
"According to the family's press agent, the lady has left Canada around 12:30 today," said Michelle Simard of the Sacre-Coeur hospital in a recorded message. "We have no information on Ms. Richardson's health condition, but the family should give more information by tomorrow."
Richardson was hospitalized after falling during a private lesson on a beginners trail at the famed Mont Tremblant ski resort Monday.
IrishCentral.com reported that the Tony Award-winning actress and wife of Liam Neeson suffered a head injury.
Richardson, 45, is the elder daughter of Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave and the late director Tony Richardson, and belongs to a British acting dynasty.
"We know that she has had an accident but we really do not know any more details," said Kika Markham, who is married to Richardson's uncle, Corin Redgrave. "We are very concerned."
Mont Tremblant said Richardson fell on a beginners trail and later reported not feeling well.
"She did not show any visible sign of injury but the ski patrol followed strict procedures and brought her back to the bottom of the slope and insisted she should see a doctor," said a statement from the resort, which is about 80 miles northwest of Montreal.
The ski resort said the instructor and a ski patrol accompanied Richardson to her hotel, where they again recommended she should be seen by a doctor.
Mont Tremblant spokeswoman Catherine Lacasse said Richardson said she was fine at first.
"An hour later she said she didn't feel well. She had a headache, so we sent her to the hospital," Lacasse said. "There were no signs of impact and no blood, nothing."
An ambulance was called and Richardson was brought to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and was later transferred to Hopital du Sacre-Coeur in Montreal.
Producers confirmed that Richardson's husband, Liam Neeson, immediately left the Toronto set of his upcoming movie, "Chloe," for Montreal, a publicist for the film said in an e-mail.
Richardson's films include "Gothic," "A Month in the Country," "Nell" - in which she appeared with her future husband - "The Parent Trap" and "Maid in Manhattan."
Trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama, Richardson has had extensive stage experience in the West End and Broadway. She won a Tony Award in 1998 for playing Sally Bowles in "Cabaret."
Her maternal grandparents were the actors Michael Redgrave and Rachel Kempson, and her uncle Corin and aunt Lynn Redgrave are also both actors. Sister Joely Richardson is also an actress, best known for starring in the TV series "Nip/Tuck."
In January, Richardson and her mother played the roles of mother and daughter in a one-night benefit concert version of "A Little Night Music," the Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler musical, at Studio 54 in New York.
She married Neeson in 1994, and the couple have two sons.

Born November 23, 1991
Josh passed away on October 26, 2012. He is survived by his brother Jacob Thalman, father Joseph Thalman, mother Cozette Dunlap, and an amazing array of extended family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and more) and loyal friends; all of whom will continue to cherish and celebrate Josh's life for years to come.
Josh's life was cut way too short, but the time he spent here with us was quite full…full of adventure, travel and fabulous memories. Most of his adventures were part of a boarding sport - body boarding, snow boarding, skim boarding and skate boarding. Some of his other passions were photography, film making and a special kinship with animals. Josh loved to travel both near and far. While he visited many places in this world, his favorites were Hawaii, New Zealand, Switzerland, the mountains in Utah, Lake Powell, Shasta, Glacier National Park and the more recent spot that he chose to make his primary residence- the beautiful Boulder, Colorado.
Josh was loved by many and will be missed very much. He had a lot of close and special relationships as a result of his loving and generous heart. Like all of us, Josh struggled personally, and we are still uncertain as to the reason he moved on from this life. What we do know, unequivocally, is that he left an indelible impression in our hearts as a kind, giving, and caring young man. Those who loved him are certain, that his beautiful spirit will remain with us forever.
In lieu of flowers…
Animals were always near and dear to Josh's heart, especially his sweet dog Kiki. Animal Crackers helped to rescue Kiki once and will be accepting donations in Josh's name.

End Your Internship on a Good Note
How to leave the company after your internship with great prospects for the future.
Kathryn Knight Randolph
March 07, 2017
The end of summer brings an end to corporate internship programs' most lucrative season.
While you've been working hard all summer to impress your supervisor, colleagues and other interns, there is still quite a bit you can do after the internship to stay in their good graces.
Email Your Entire Team
Chances are, the team you worked with all summer doesn't have your last day marked on the calendar. Send an email the Monday of your last week informing the team that it's your last week and that you'd be happy to take on any new projects to be done by Friday, your last day. Nothing is more embarrassing for you or a colleague than to be handed a project on the day you're leaving.
Hi Team,
As you may or may not know, today marks the start of my last week in the office. I've enjoyed working with you all this summer and have learned a great deal. In just a week, I will be heading back to school and beginning my senior thesis. After college, I plan to find work in this same field so some of you can expect to hear from me again!
If you have any projects that I can complete before my last day, Friday, please let me know! I'd be happy to be of use as much as possible this week.
Let's keep in touch. My email is email@example.com and my cell is 123.456.7890. Again, thanks for the opportunity.
Sincerely, Awesome Intern
Thank Your Boss
Whether you loved or hated your boss, it's so important to thank them for giving you the opportunity to intern this summer.
Do you know how hard it is to land an internship these days?! No matter how badly you may have been treated, your supervisor did you a huge favor.
Keep it old school and set up a face-to-face meeting with your boss. Don't do this over email.
Here's what your meeting should cover:
- Thank him or her for the opportunity, for any mentoring they provided.
- Divulge a little of what you learned or ask questions about things that may still be unclear.
- Mention keeping in touch.
Follow the Company
This is absolutely vital if you want to work at this company after graduation. Regardless of the great job you did this summer, you will have to interview again. Being able to show that you've watched the company's every move will definitely be noted.
However, while you may never work at the company again, you'll most likely need a reference for future internship and job opportunities. Not to mention, your previous experience will come up in job interviews. That's why it's to your benefit to keep track of the company after you leave.
Thanks to social media, this is really simple. Check in on their Facebook page or Twitter feed for any company updates. Look for their name on the news and in newspapers and magazines.
If you're not ruling out working for the company after graduation, occasionally email your former supervisor about company changes and updates.
Hi Mr. Boss,
Just saw the latest product you all unveiled on the Facebook page and was so impressed! I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know that I'm continuing to follow the company and all that you're doing. Even after my internship with you all, I'm still learning so much.
I'm heading into the second semester of my senior year and am putting the finishing touches on my resume. If there is any way you could help me at all through this process, I would be so grateful.
Hope you're doing well and am looking forward to hearing from you.
Best, Awesome Intern
Respect the Company
Finally, don't trash talk the company after your internship experience. Believe it or not, it could get back to your former supervisor. You never know who's watching your social media accounts or what your frienemy might repeat about you in an interview with that company.
And while it may be difficult to sum up your experience without being negative, only tell others what was positive about your internship, even if it's something as simple as the way the group was structured.
Ultimately, you are extremely lucky to have had an internship at all and owe your supervisor and colleagues a great deal for your experience. Just keep that in mind as you leave the company on a good note.
