There's a lesson in the news of alleged harassment of players on the Miami Dolphins football team: Bullying isn't just about schoolkids or athletes. It's rampant in many workplaces, no matter the industry.
According to the Bellingham, Wash.-based Workplace Bullying Institute, one-third of people surveyed say they've been bullied on the job. Half of the organizations surveyed by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reported incidents of bullying in their workplaces. And it's not usually coming from that proverbial bad boss whom we all like to gripe about: 82 percent of workplace bullying incidents were peer-to-peer.
The problem takes many shapes and forms. It might be verbal abuse from a coworker, such as swearing and intimidation, snide comments or unrelenting teasing. It could be someone taking credit for your work or trying to make you look incompetent. If it is the boss who's the problem, bullying can mean shouting, constant criticism, the creation of impossible expectations and the shifting of those expectations at the last minute to set you up to fail.
And yes, bullying occurs through technology, such as Facebook or other social media. This kind accounted for about one in five incidents, the SHRM survey found.
It may surprise you to learn that workplace bullying isn't actually illegal (although legislation has been proposed in 25 states). So speaking up can be complicated. Whom do you talk to — the bully, the boss or the people in HR? What are the possible repercussions of speaking up?
Here are five moves you can make to handle a tough situation at work.
1. Size up the situation
Do some soul-searching to be sure that your side of the street is clean. Is your work truly top-drawer? Is your attitude positive? Being able to answer yes will be a huge help if you go public with a complaint.
Consider whether you're doing anything to trigger the bad behavior. Face it, you might bear some responsibility. Be certain that you're not being too thin-skinned about things that you probably should let roll off your back.
Another question to consider is whether anyone else is getting the same rough treatment.
Finally, ask yourself whether the problem started when you reached "a certain age." If it's age-related, you'll have special rights under federal law.
If you need to vent or get advice, be discreet and talk to someone not connected to your workplace. You don't want to be the one feeding the rumor mill.
"Choose your moments carefully," says George Schofield, an employment expert and author of After 50 It's Up to Us. "Decide when you need to stand up for yourself and when it simply isn't worth it." (Not reporting, it turns out, is a common decision: About 43 percent of bullying victims said they didn't report their bullying to anyone in the organization, the SHRM survey found.)

Got this (gaultier squared) along with YSL body kouros for my first purchase off fragrancenet. Perfect shipping and arrived two days before the estimated date. Also came with a sample of another frag and nail clippers. Huhuh. The scent is very interesting and enveloping. It is like Amber vanilla musk sweetness like you'd imagine but it also has this burnt thing going on like a powdery sweet burnt type flavah. Sort of astringent on top which is odd considering the notes. But it dries down to just smooth sweet bliii-yus

How Does Laser Hair Reduction Work?
"Laser hair removal" is actually something of a misnomer. It's more accurate to call it "laser hair reduction," as the procedure slows and reduces hair growth by damaging follicles. That's what makes laser hair reduction (LHR) an appealing alternative to traditional hair-removal methods like shaving, waxing, and plucking. Those stock depilatory efforts don't last long and generally don't reduce the amount of hair you're capable of growing. Potential LHR clients should, however, be wary of different lasers' effectiveness for certain skin and hair types.Does laser hair reduction work?Laser hair reduction will slow hair growth, making it less noticeable. However, periodic maintenance treatments may be needed, and results can vary from person to person.How does laser hair reduction work?Noninvasive laser light penetrates hair follicles. The heat from the laser beam damages the hair follicles, inhibiting hair growth.How many sessions are typically needed to see results?Laser hair reduction affects only actively growing hair follicles, which means that it may take several treatments to see significant hair reduction. Generally 4–6 treatments are needed, depending on the area.How often should I be treated?Treatments are generally spaced 4–8 weeks apart.Is there any downtime?There may be redness and swelling for the first few hours after the treatment. The treated area might experience a stinging sensation for a day or two afterward.What are some different laser hair reduction machines?There are a lot of machines on the market that differ according to the type of lasers used. The Nd:YAG, alexandrite, and diode lasers are among some of the most prevalent and effective kinds used in LHR treatments today.What's the best laser hair reduction option for you?There are a lot of factors that go into this decision—so many that we wrote a whole article about it. In short, however, it's probably most important to match your skin and hair tone to the laser that can treat it most effectively. For instance, the alexandrite laser, one of the most common, treats clients with light to olive skin tones. The Nd:YAG laser can be used on all skin types. The ruby laser works best for fine and light hair, but it can't be used on darker skin. Please be sure to consult with the licensed practitioner on the type of laser best suited for your hair and skin type.Click here to see laser hair reduction featured on The Dr. Oz Show.Learn more about laser hair reduction:Which Hair-Reduction Laser Is Right for You?What Laser Hair Reduction Really Feels LikeRead More

Favorite community appearance: My all-time favorite community appearance was going to a charity event hosted by the Charity Girls. The event was at a roller rink off of Dairy Ashford. The event was 80s themed, so we were able to dress up in 80s Dynamo gear and skate all night with fans. It was so much fun!
Best part about being a Dynamo Girl: I love all of the friendships that I have made throughout the years being on the team. It has been so much fun to relive my rookie year through all of the new girls and experience all of the cool things that we get to experience. I also love watching the fans enjoy their favorite sport and team.
What is your favorite part of the game? Besides watching the Dynamo Girls do what they do best, I love the last couple minutes of a game. Everyone is tense, and one goal can change the entire outcome! Remember 2007 MLS Cup?

Wow, GridMove is just what I've been searching for - I downloaded as soon as I found it and setup my grids within minutes. I'm a visual person, so I "forget" what else I have going on so I like to have everything open and clickable without ALT+TAB or taskbar.
Sharing my setup which is pretty simple (6 grids) over two big monitors. Monitor 1 is workspace where I have three overlapping windows so I can work on script or document in one while browser and e-mail visible "behind" (at least I can see if email comes in and my to do list). Monitor 2 is big workspace with a "sidebar" where I can stick Skype and IM and see them all without juggling windows.

A finger sprain is the stretching or tearing of ligaments that support the small joints of the finger. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bones to each other.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
A finger sprain usually results from a blow to the finger causing the finger to bend too much or in the wrong direction. This often occurs during athletic activity when an athlete jams a finger into another person, the ball, or piece of equipment. Finger sprains may also occur in other situations, such as falling on the hand..
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting an injury. Risk factors for a finger sprain may include:
Symptoms include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and how you injured your finger. The doctor will examine your finger to assess the stability of the joint and the severity of the injury.
Tests may include:
Finger sprains are graded according to their severity:
In consultation with your doctor, treatment may include:
Avoid using the injured finger.
Apply ice or a cold pack to your finger for 15-20 minutes, four times a day, for several days or until the pain and swelling goes away. Ice helps to reduce pain and swelling in the sprained finger. Wrap the ice or cold pack in a towel. Do not apply the ice directly to your skin.
Wrap an elastic compression bandage around your finger. This will limit swelling and support your finger. Be careful not to wrap too tightly because it can cut off the circulation to your finger.
Try to hold the injured hand above the level of your heart as much as possible for the first several days or until the swelling goes down. This will help drain fluid and reduce swelling.
The doctor may recommend:
You may need to wear a splint to immobilize your finger. If you play sports, you may need to tape your finger to the finger next to it when you return to play. Your doctor can show you how to splint or tape your finger.
Surgery may be needed to repair a finger sprain if:
If you are diagnosed with a finger sprain, follow your doctor's
You can reduce your risk of getting a finger sprain by learning and practicing correct technique in sports and using proper equipment. However, in many cases, sprains cannot be prevented.

Digging Deeper into Demographics
Analysis by Age, Gender and Ethnicity
A Supplemental Report of the 2009 National Coffee Drinking Trends (NCDT)
Digging Deeper into Demographics," the newest market research report from the National Coffee Association, provides an in-depth analysis into consumer coffee consumption by age, gender and ethnicity. This stand-alone resource offers valuable information for the targeted, strategic needs of industry marketers who seek a better understand of their niche markets.
Each of the three areas of review: age, gender and ethnicity, looked at coffee consumption specifically as well as compared with other beverages, including bottled and tap water, soft drinks, juice, milk and tea. In addition, the analysis by age and gender also looked at coffee consumption habits, and the analysis by age looked at long-term trends and evolving consumption by generation.

Why Inpatient Drug Rehab In Arkansas Is A Must
There are many reasons why someone may try an outpatient program or have helped loved ones to get out-patient addiction treatment. They are more convenient to attend and can be very affordable, even sometimes free. Unfortunately, the success rates for outpatient drug rehab programs are extremely low. It can vary a bit by the type of addiction but most studies place success rates at around 3%.
There are many reasons for this but most experts agree that for serious addictions, outpatient treatments are ineffective at getting to the core of an addiction. The result is most often some form of drug replacement therapy and a person who is constantly relapsing. In addition to the continued use of drugs or alcohol, the constant relapses often lead to hopelessness about staying sober which then leads to failed marriages, lost jobs, DUI's, accidents and overdoses.
For any serious or long term addiction, inpatient drug rehab is highly recommended. Residential/inpatient drug rehab recovery options are found in many forms but the primary purpose is having the person stay somewhere during their treatment so one can focus on healing, without the interruption of daily life to open the door to using drugs or alcohol.
Most residential drug and alcohol treatment centers administer what is called the traditional model of care. This is usually 28 days of 12 step counseling (group therapy - similar to AA or NA) but is under one roof and the person lives there so the risk of relapse is minimized.
While this is better than an outpatient program, the reality is that even these 28 day treatment options are not highly successful in most cases. Nationally, the average success rate is somewhere close to 10% - which means a very high relapse rate still exists.
Not all inpatient drug and alcohol rehabs are alike. The type of care, treatment and counseling provided in the various rehabilitation programs will have a lot to do with lasting sobriety. There are many residential drug rehab centers that have success rates that are 70% and higher.
This is where our nonprofit helpline can assist you!
With more than a dozen counselors each with years of experience, they can help you quickly understand various options that will best suit the needs for you or your family in selecting an inpatient drug rehab program.
Issues like location and availability of the top rated inpatient drug rehab facilities; the cost for the most successful residential drug rehab centers; length of stay for the best inpatient drug treatment options – these issues and others can be discussed with confidential trained counselors at no cost.

Combining slenderness and Haute Joaillerie is an art that Piaget masters in a dazzling manner. In a magnificent expression of ultra-thin expertise, this Dancer, with the latest-generation mechanical 830P movement, is the thinnest Haute Joaillerie mechanical watch in the world. This new Dancer design retains all the personality of the model as a masterly combination of brilliant- and baguette-cut diamonds replaces the gadroons on the bezel and the dumbbell motifs on the bracelet. The case and bracelet are gem-set as far as the sides. Furthermore, refinement is taken to the extreme on the bracelet as even the screws used to ensure its extreme suppleness are delicately concealed by brilliant-cut diamonds, 700 hours of development work and 325 hours of gem-setting were required in order to create this new ultra-thin Dancer model.
830P movement
Measuring only 2.5 mm thick, the 830P movement is an ultra-thin hand-wound mechanical movement boasting an greater power reserve than its predecessors. The delicacy of its mechanism and its component parts required all the expertise of the watchmaker Piaget and is a direct descendant of the legendary 9P movement. Understated in design, the 830P movement features a balance with screws, as befits an example of Fine Watchmaking. The modular movement has given rise to numerous heirs, including the 832P movement, an adaptation of the original movement whose gear train, on the dial side, has been modified to create a 24-hour display. Finally, the circular Côtes de Genève, pearled mainplate, bevelled bridges, blued screws and engraved Piaget coat-of-arms round off this exceptional movement, while remaining true to the aesthetic codes cherished by the Swiss watching brand.

Mice can be quite a nuisance in the garden and home. Find out how to identify them and get rid of them.
Mice live near humans. Though it's probably impossible to get rid of every single mouse, you need to keep them under control before they chew your garden and house apart.
These small rodents are especially active at night and also before a storm or rainy weather. Unfortunately, this means they often try to move indoors or bulk up by eating food in your garden.
How to Identify Mice
Mice love to tunnel and chew. Partially eaten potatoes or carrots are a sign of mice activity. They also love to eat newly sown seeds. In the home, they'll chew small holes in cloth materials. Mice leave small droppings too, so if you see any, you might have an infestation.
How to Get Rid of Mice
Here are a few tips for getting rid of mice. Try some of these methods for your garden and home:
- In the home, check for pathways that are allowing mice to gain easy access. Seal them up. Try stuffing steel wool into the cracks and holes around your foundation.
- Remove easy food and water. Clean up pet food dishes and keep garbage bins closed.
- Try using dryer sheets to keep mice out of linen closets or stored clothes.
- In the garden, avoid using straw as mulch or any fluffy mulch that provides nesting places.
- There are several herbs that are believed to repel mice. Mint, pennyroyal, garlic and onion are just a few. Try planting them in your garden.
- To protect bulbs, cage them or surround the bulb with crushed gravel in the planting hole.
- Wrap tree trunks with tree wrap or hardware cloth at their base.
- Mice are also repelled by camphor, lavender, and wormwood. You can find dried lavender in health food stores and some garden centers.
- Try a repellent containing ammonium; see your local garden center.
- Get a cat! Sometimes, even just the scent of cats will be enough to deter mice from returning to an area.
- Use a live trap or snap trap baited with peanut butter near mouse paths.
- Sonic deterrants placed in the garden may help to keep mice away.

|Quechee VT Balloon Festival This Weekend
Father's Day weekend in Quechee, VT means it is time for one of the state's top annual events, the Quechee Balloon Festival.
The 28th Annual Quechee Hot Air Balloon, Fine Art, Craft & Music Festival starts June 15 and runs through the 17th. There will be balloon flights twice a day in the early mornings and early evenings. A craft fair is the center attraction at the Village Green event area and features the work of some 50 crafts people.
The entire festival emphasizes family activities and there are many items to make the event a family outing.
There will be live music such as rhythm & blues, jazz, 60's tunes, jump swing, a fiddlers' competition, plus an antique and classic car show, clowns, mimes, jugglers, puppeteers, unicyclists, vaudeville acts, and dancers, church rummage sale, and the Quechee Library book sale.
There will be many choices for food including breakfast, barbecue, sandwiches, ice cream.
The Ottaquechee River runs through the village and over a waterfall at the Village Green which make a picturesque backdrop for the event.
Exit 1 from I-89 onto Route 4 and travel west. Note: you will see signs about Route 4 being closed but that is for bridge repairs in Woodstock and you won't be going that far if you are going to the balloon festival.

|Flag Day June 14, 2007
Bennington Battle Flag
This Thursday, June 14, is Flag Day, a proclamation by Woodrow Wilson 91 years ago which then became an official holiday when President Truman signed a Congressional Act in 1949. June 14 was chosen because that is the day in 1777 when Congress officially adopted the basic layout of the flag that has evolved since then.
The flag above is popularly known as the Bennington Battle Flag but also referred to as the Filmore flag because it was carried home after the battle of Bennington by a soldier named Filmore who passed it down through the generations including President Millard. Today the flag is on display at the Bennington Museum.
The Bennington Battle took place in August 1777, twelve years before Vermont became a state. The Americans were led by General John Stark. He and his "Green Mountain Boys" defeated 600 German mercenaries.
General Stark gave a rallying speech to his men before the battle in which he said "My men, yonder are the Hessians. They were brought for seven pounds and ten pence a man. Are you worth more? Prove it. Tonight, the American flag floats from yonder hill or Molly Stark sleeps a widow."
The flag below is the one adopted by the Green Mountain Boys and was most likely also in use at the same battle.
I highly recommend a visit to the Bennington Museum - it's a beautiful facility. There are many historical displays, exhibits and events you can see on their Calendar web page. The museum also has the largest public collection of Grandma Moses paintings in the world.
The town of Bennington is located in the southwestern part of the state just a few miles from the New York and Massachusetts borders. Here is a link to a Google map of the Bennington Museum's location.

|Manchester VT Antique Car Show at Hildene This Weekend
The Manchester VT Antique and Classic Car Show, also known to car enthusiasts as the "Hildene Car Show" or simply "Hildene" is this weekend.
Hildene is a mansion once owned by the son of Abraham Lincoln. It is now a museum with beautiful gardens and grounds. It is located in the countryside south of Manchester VT and north of Arlington in the southwestern part of the state. Here is a link to a Google Map of Hildene Road.
The countryside around there is ideal for driving tours.

Yesterday, a divided National Labor Relations Board dropped another hammer on the employer community. In a long-awaited and much debated move, the Board jettisoned the decades old standard for determining when two independent businesses should be considered joint employers of an individual worker for collective bargaining purposes.
Transforming the culture of Oregon's educational leadership.
The Board dismissed a petition related to efforts to unionize the Northwestern University football team.
Oregon Sick Leave is here, and changes to the federal white-collar worker regulations are on the way. This workshop will prepare you for both. We invite you to participate in an interactive discussion on how to start planning now for the future impact on your operations and finances.
Presented by OEN + CENTRL + YESpdx.
This Roundtable will cover numerous issues under the employer "shared responsibility" rules of the Affordable Care Act, including how to track the "full-time" status of variable-hour employees, temporary or seasonal employees, and employees who experience a change in status or a break in service. Additionally, we will provide a brief overview of Code sections 6055 and 6056, which require most mid-sized and large employers to submit their first information reports to the IRS in early 2016 regarding the health insurance coverage being offered to employees. We invite you to participate in an interactive discussion on how to prepare for the future impact of the shared responsibility rules on your operations and finances.

What exactly is an "Ideal Personality"?
In this age, with population over 7 billion, what is it that can be considered as "ideal"? Who is it that people really look upto or wish that they could be like him/her? What makes the "ideal personality" different from others?
Closing Statement from Tej Shah
Well, at the end of discussion we can conclude that there's no one 'ideal' in specific. Discussion can be squared down to the fact that whlle there's no one perfectly ideal, there are a few personality traits which can be considered ideal, as they're pleasant to everyone. Personally, I believe- make peace with yourself and that's what i feel is 'ideal'. Everything else, will take care of itself. It completely depends on thoughts and beliefs that a person has, when a person defines 'ideal personality.' The best hypothetic answer would be the one given by Yoka Feng. Rest all answers were based on individual perceptions, which wouldn't be that helpful to everyone.
Yoka Feng
Oct 25 2013: I'd like to consider the ideal personality as " never give up hope( optimistic and self-motivated),kind and rational,open and patient,confident and diligent, studious and modest,decisive and strong-minded, interesting and intelligent.":)
- +1
Tej Shah
Oct 25 2013: That's the most satisfying answer so far. It encompasses all the positive aspects which usually people expect anyone around them to have. Also, It's generalized very well. Description is, however, of impracticably perfect personality, but it's completely relevant to the discussion- as the concept that ideal exists itself is farfetched. :)
- +1
Yoka Feng
Oct 26 2013: Thank you Tej for your comment~
- +1
Those are just IDEAL ones and I agree that you should perfect yourself from some simplest ones according to your disposition and personal traits.
And I also like to advise you that even you don't have some of these, you can make some friends who have something in common with you in personality as well as some personal traits you don't have to make up for your weakness in personality.:)
Oct 28 2013: Well, that's a tacit understanding that everyone has. That's something very mainstream. What we're discussing here is not just about making friends, but a much wider perspective.
It's actually just a discussion, which may give us an opportunity to visualize a different world which is a tad different and may be - more pleasant than the existing one!
Lejan .
Oct 23 2013: It is exactly individual.Oct 22 2013: Ideal personality is aligned in all ways, spiritual, soulful, and social.

'To thine self, be true'
Not based in ego but in Love and service.Oct 22 2013: it's the flexible personality over all situations can struck the Man and will never change his goodness normally.
Fritzie -
Oct 21 2013: While having a range of personality types is probably ideal, traits that would seem very useful for a changing world are adaptability and resilience.
- +1
Oct 22 2013: Well..that's what I have observed frequently around me. But whenever I have this idea in mind, a confusing thought arises as it triggers the thought of any popular personality- say for example- our very own legendary cricketer- Sachin Tendulkar. His personality is defined only by one thing that he is outstanding in i.e. cricket and as we know there are millions of people around the world who consider him to be an ideal being. Those millions and many more look upto him, want to have a life like his. We don't know if he exhibits a range of personalities in his personal life, but we can say that it is only cricket which makes him an "ideal" personality for millions of his likers. Also, he doesnt exhibit any trait that can be useful to face the changing world. Same can be thought about Lionel Messi or say Leonardo de caprio. So the confusion is that- is it a diversified personality or a single trait that decides whether someone is ideal or not?
Oct 22 2013: I don't think being a cricketer is correctly labeled a personality trait. Are you asking about personality traits?
Oct 22 2013: Exactly, being a cricketer isn't a personality trait. What I wanted to convey by above example is that success/fame often masks the overall personality. People look upto successful people, consider their personality to be ideal, want to be them without knowing/irrespective what personality they exhibit in their personal life-how they actually are with their friends, family and colleagues. So is success the key factor by which anyone's personality is judged and everything else is just secondary? Also, isn't being cheerful, adaptable, wise, proficient, friendly, calm & confident the right combination of being ideal as far as overall personality is concerned?
Oct 22 2013: What you describe is not necessarily "personality".............what you are describing is "popularity".Oct 28 2013: Mine!Oct 26 2013: Tej, the question is what your objective is.
- +1
Are you looking for the perfect personality in the eyes of others or do you want a personality that makes you feel good.
If it is the first option, then you probably won't find the perfect personality because a kind of personality that I would like to see in another person might be different from that my neighbor looks for.
If it is the 2. option, then you will have listen to yourself and figure out what makes you feel well.
Oct 27 2013: Is it necessary that in the process of being good to others or being someone who everybody loves to be with- you hurt yourself? And of course, no one in this age would like to hurt own very self to 'please' people! There must be some middle way we need to find as making peace with own self is as important as being ideal to others.
Oct 28 2013: No, it doesn't have to be that extreme that you hurt yourself, but the question is authenticity.
The more you adapt to other people's expectations the more you leave behind of your own essence.
There probably isn't a right or wrong answer to this question but everybody has to determine for himself how authentic he wants to be.Oct 24 2013: Ideal- Someone in harmony with one's self. This means to be able to govern one's self with reason, knowledge, and experiences. To be able to manage and notice what one's appetites are and keep in moderation, free of addictions.
This should also be among society or groups of people ranging from an individual to the governing everyone.
Easier said than done.
Oct 25 2013: So understanding and governing one's own self is the only key? People have different ways of thinking, have different knowledge, reasons and experiences. This leads to individuality at group or individual level. So, to sum up, it won't lead to something which can conform to an ultimate standard of perfection or in other words, it won't be 'ideal'. The idea you expressed is actually noble, but quite impossible to implement.
Whisky Delta
Oct 25 2013: Yes, it is the key to move forward. Yes, people do have different ways of thinking..ect, Tej, I understand. Perfection is quite impossible to implement, yes. However, this doesn't mean we as individuals and/or humanity can not continually get closer to perfection than where we are today. Why does history have to repeat itself so many times? Seems insane to me. Is humanity gaining any knowledge from any of it? You and I do think, know, reason, and experience differently, yes. We can live next to each other until one of us becomes "addicted" to an appetite. Man to man, group to group there is no difference. What are some appetites seeking moderation? Power (greed, wealth, domination), food, drugs are just three that come just off the top of my head. When we begin to recognize these we can begin to move forward to civilization "CIVIL" and as an individual. I'll be right back, I'm going outside for a smoke. I do this alone so I don't piss others off in my home :) This is my individual repeat as history (war) repeating itself.
- +1
To make this a complete circle back to topic. I'm not better than you and you are not better than me. We all have virtues which we get pleasure from. You, Technology , Innovation and Human Psychology. Me, flying an airplane and other things as well. Can we both put our virtues to use? Do we both have this opportunity or do we have to compete for it among our peers for it? If so, then we must find another virtue to obtain pleasure. Does this mean I'll seek some pleasure by having another smoke? No, I choose to come back and say what is above. :)Oct 22 2013: I do not think there is an ideal personality and anyone who thinks someone successful is an ideal personality and trys to emulate them should think again.

September 11—An Afternoon Remembrance
Ten years to the day that two hijacked planes crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, Penn Museum marks the solemn occasion with three special programs-two September 11, one October 12-and a powerful display, Excavating Ground Zero: Fragments of 9/11, on view August 20 through November 6, 2011. Join us as we remember-and reflect anew.
September 11
Sunday, 1:00 pm
Afternoon Lecture
Making a Monument: The Fall and Rise of the World Trade Center
Minoru Yamasaki's design for the World Trade Center, unveiled in 1964, was harshly criticized, only gradually gaining a place in the hearts of New Yorkers and tourists alike in the years that followed the towers opening in 1972-73. After they were destroyed on September 11, 2001, the twin towers were lionized. Like monuments in all ages, the World Trade Center has had its meaning defined and changed several times in response to the needs, expectations, and memories of the people. Dr. David Brownlee, Shapiro-Weitzenhoffer Professor of the History of Art at Penn, recounts the story of the World Trade Center as he explores the making of monuments in the modern world. Admission: Pay-what-you-want.

Scientist Stephen Jay Gould's Accusations against Samuel Morton's Methodologies are Tested and Refuted
Penn Museum's Scientific Morton Collection of 19th Century Skulls
Center of Controversy around History, Methodology of Science
PHILADEPHIA, PA—The scientific integrity of one 19th century Philadelphia scientist has been reaffirmed—but at the decided expense of a prominent late 20th century scientist who had discredited him.
Such was the conclusion reached by a group of anthropologists working collaboratively to re-examine, and perform anew, scientific measurements on a famous collection of nearly 1,000 skulls from around the world, the "American Golgotha" collected and studied by Philadelphia physician Samuel George Morton (1799-1851). Today, much of the collection resides at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology in Philadelphia, where members of the anthropology team performed their analyses.

Penn Museum's Alaskan Umiaq is Centerpiece of Exhibition
At the United Nations Headquarters in NYC
PHILADELPHIA, PA May 2011—Penn Museum's largest object from Alaska—a 15-foot long Umiaq, or Iñupiaq boat—journeys to the United Nations Headquarters in New York City, where it takes center stage in a new exhibition, The Right to Water and Indigenous Peoples, May 16 through June 30, 2011. The exhibition, which marks the Tenth Session of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, highlights water's critical relevance to indigenous peoples' cultural vitality as well as their social and economic well being, and includes contributions from indigenous film and photographic artists from all over the world.
Read more on Penn's Year of Water website.
About the Umiaq
The Museum's Umiaq (15'1"L by 4'6"W by 1'7"H, object #29-47-5) is an Iñupiaq wooden frame boat covered with stretched walrus hide coated with seal oil, and dates to the late 19th-early 20th centuries. Sewn or spliced together without benefit of nails, which could rust and sink the boat, Umiaqs are still used by Iñupiaq people for hunting whales or for summer transport. They are easier to repair than aluminum boats and don't make metallic sounds that can frighten away whales.

PHILADELPHIA, PA Spring 2011—Following major renovations to the third floor west wing galleries—including the addition of central air conditioning, new windows, lighting enhancements and refurbishment to the terrazzo flooring and marble trim-Penn Museum reopens the wing to the public on Saturday, April 30 at 1:00 pm, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and an invitation to visit two timely exhibitions: Battleground: War Rugs from Afghanistan, a traveling exhibition making its United States debut, and Iraq's Ancient Past: Rediscovering Ur's Royal Cemetery—a long-term exhibition featuring the Museum's world renowned Mesopotamian collections from Ur, newly reinstalled.

An Artisan Winery
We are longtime fans of Israel's Recanati Winery, which offers very fine, highly rated reserve selections as well as several satisfying simpler table wines. The Recanati Winery was founded in 2000 by a group of wine lovers led by Lenny Recanati. Their goal was to create a new winery for the production of quality Israeli wines at reasonable consumer prices.
Two of our favorites are Yasmin white and Yasmin red; both appealing selections to keep on hand because they are terrific table wines at value prices. Added to our suggestions are several mid−priced exceptional wines as well as a few in the luxury category. What better time for a wine splurge than at the Seder table? Whichever of these kosher for Passover wines you choose, we hope that you sip your four glasses surrounded by family and friends.

CTC has long campaigned on the 'Safety in Numbers' effect which says that cycling gets safer, the more people do it.
Now campaigners in Sterlingshire have taken this literally with the formation of a bike train to encourage commuters to use the bike and train combination, rather than taking the car to work.
This BBC report explains the whys and wherefores of it. Maybe this is an idea that could spread to other towns and cities across the UK?
