Texas Irrigation Association Proclaims July as Smart Irrigation Month
July is traditionally the month of a peak demand for water for lawns, gardens and landscapes in North America. The Irrigation Association named July as Smart Irrigation Month to increase public awareness about simple practices and innovative technologies homeowners, businesses and property managers can use to save money on utility bills, minimize or defer investments in infrastructure to store and carry water, typically paid for by property taxes or municipal bonds and protect their community's water supply for generations to come.

Montmelo, Spain, May 11 (EFE).- German Mercedes-Benz driver Nico Rosberg grabbed pole position for Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix, while Spain's Fernando Alonso, who drives for Ferrari, will start fifth.
Rosberg snagged the third pole of his career with a time of 1:20.718 in Saturday's qualifying session at the Circuit de Catalunya; he also started first in the previous Formula One race, held three weekends ago in Bahrein, but finished a disappointing ninth.
Rosberg will be joined on the front row by teammate Lewis Hamilton, who posted a time of 1:20.972.
German Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel and Finland's Kimi Raikkonen, who drives for Lotus, will be on the second row.
Joining Alonso on the third row will be Brazilian teammate Felipe Massa.

Children's Health
Down Syndrome: Helping Your Child Learn to Communicate - Topic Overview
Children with Down syndrome usually have delayed speech and language development. Typically, these children have a much harder time learning to talk (expressive language) than with understanding what they hear (receptive language). On average, children with Down syndrome start using words around 16 months of age-about 6 months later than other children.
Children with Down syndrome are often taught sign language to enhance communication and bridge the gap between expressive language and receptive language. Although some parents worry that using sign language will interfere with their child's speech development, evidence suggests that the reverse is true. Sign language gradually decreases as speech abilities develop.
Simple measures can help your baby to develop speech and language skills:
- Look directly at your baby when you talk to him or her. Soon your baby will imitate and echo sounds that you make.
- Play games like peek-a-boo.
- Show different objects to your baby. Say the object's name and describe it.
- Let your baby see himself or herself in the mirror. Many children enjoy looking in the mirror and babbling at their reflection.
- If your child shows interest in an object, person, or event, say the name of the person or object or talk about the event.
- Read books to your child.
A speech therapist can provide specific suggestions based on your child's abilities. Usually, this includes detailed information for a home program to help your child practice speaking.

No games here
I am a real, and honest person, looking for someone similar to share life's adventures. As a single mom of an 20 year old daughter, I have no problem keeping busy. I have a very short list of things that are most important in my life, and its those things that i dedicate my everyday to. My daughter has always been my number 1 priority. Its amazing how quickly life passes us by. I can hardly believe she is in college now! My downtime is spent re-grouping from the busy work weeks. It is so important to me that i maintain a work-life balance. I enjoy working out, reading, or watching movies I love to travel, and am open to new adventures! I guess Ive learned that life is just too short to let it pass you by. I am very much hoping to find someone that enjoys the surprises that life presents as well. I am looking for someone who is normal, REAL, considerate, and respectful, and most important....READY and looking to be in a committed relationship. That is the most important, maybe because ive been burned in the past. I dont play games, and Im looking for someone who is sincere and open to an honest and devoted relationship...

I love building fires in the fireplace in the fall and winter, and cozying up to watch a good movie with a glass of wine. In the summer, I love clear nights when you can see all the stars, and sleeping with the windows open...
I tend to like reading mindless fiction, simply because it helps me wind down after a long day at work. I prefer books by John Saul, Dean Koontz, and Stephen King. But I will read anything that catches my interest.

Washington postgame press conference transcript and audio
COACH SARKISIAN: Can I just start for a minute? I'll say the Valero Alamo Bowl and ESPN got what they were hoping for tonight. What a game. What a game to be part of for these guys. That's a good football team, obviously. We knew coming in it wasn't just about Robert Griffin, it was their entire offensive football team. They weren't the No. 2 offense in the country just for a fluke. They were good. We knew the challenges…

This invention relates to a dispenser apparatus for domestic appliances and more particularly to a multiple dispenser for a domestic clothes washing machine or the like incorporating a system for automatically dispensing controlled amounts of one or more liquid treating agents into the washer.
Various arrangements have been proposed by appliance manufacturers to incorporate multiple liquid treating agent dispensers as add-on features for domestic appliances, as for example, laundry machines, wherein liquid treating agents such as bleach, water conditioners, liquid detergents, fabric softeners and the like are released in a washer during the proper washing cycle of the machine. As discussed in the prior art U.S. Pat. No. 3,301,022 to F. D. Low, an important factor with respect to treating agents, such as bleach, is to introduce the correct amount of the agent with respect to the total amount of water since the strength of the solution is obviously dependent on this relationship. This is important as concentrated chlorine bleach poured onto clothes may adversely affect the useful life of the material. Another development of the dispensing art as regards the dispensing of wash agents such as fabric softener has been impeded by the tendency of such materials to clog the components of the dispenser as discussed in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,019,629, issued Feb. 6, 1962 to M. O. Ross.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a bulk storage dispenser for a washing appliance in conjunction with its automatic timer wherein one or more premeasured treating agents are dispensed at preselected times during the washing cycle.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid wash agent dispenser for a washing machine including a bulk storage tank or reservoir for the liquid treating agents mounted for gravity flow of the agent into a dispensing vessel incorporating a calibrated viewing window enabling the user to fill the vessel by means of the viewing window to a desired level prior to the initiation of the washing cycle.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a liquid wash treating agent dispenser for a washing machine including a bulk storage tank for the wash agent with a manually operative first valve means providing for gravity flow into a dispensing vessel for pre-measure of the agent together with second valve means operable by the washer timer mechanism automatically passing the agent into the wash while initiating a flushing operation in one of the emptied vessels whereby a portion of the water supplied to the machine through its fill mechanism is diverted into the vessel as a cleansing means therefore.
Further objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the following description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings wherein a preferred embodiment of the present invention is clearly shown.
In the Drawings:
FIG. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of a domestic clothes washer with its access door closed to illustrate the treating agent dispensing system of this invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary elevational view of the control console of the washing machine of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on the line 3--3 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical sectional view taken on the line 4--4 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary elevational view of a portion of the control console with rear panel removed.
Referring now to FIG. 1, there is shown, as an example of an automatic washing machine with which the invention may be used, an automatic clothes washer illustrated and generally referenced 10. The automatic washer 10 includes an outer sheet metal cabinet or casing 12 having a top wall 14 including a recessed portion 15 terminating in an access opening which is exposed when an access door 16 is opened. As partially indicated in FIG. 4, the casing 12 encloses a nested tub assembly 17 including an outer nonrotatable open top imperforate wall water container 18 and a rotatable, perforate wall spin basket 19. Spinning and agitation actions of the basket 19 and agitator (not shown) may be provided in a conventional manner by way of a transmission which is driven by a motor as shown for example in U.S. Pat. No. 3,663,975 issued May, 23, 1972 to A. D. Fish et al and assigned to the assignee of the instant application, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
As best seen in FIG. 2, the automatic clothes washer 10 further comprises a console, generally indicated at 28, having a rearwardly sloped control panel 30 which carries a plurality of functional remote control switches 30a through 30e which regulate the various washer functions. The control panel 30 also has located therein a plurality of liquid treating agent indicating means which in the preferred form of the invention are shown as a pair of viewing windows or "sight glasses" generally indicated at 32 and 34.
As seen in FIGS. 4 and 5 of the disclosed embodiment the viewing windows are formed as part of a treating agent dispenser housing, generally indicated at 36, which is preferably molded of plastic material, shown mounted on the inner face of the control panel 30 by suitable means such as metal clips 37 held by threaded fasteners 38 with the clips clamping outwardly directed integral flanges 39 of the housing. The control panel has formed therein elongated apertures or ports 42 and 43 which overlie rectangular openings 44 and 45 in the forwardly sloping front wall 46 of the housing 36. In the disclosed form the housings are molded of opaque or transluscent plastic material, while each of the openings 44 and 45 are closed and sealed by a suitable transparent plastic sheet material 40 and 41 allowing the contents of each of the treating agent vessels to be viewed by the user through ports 42 and 43.
FIGS. 3 and 4 show the housing 36 to be generally polygonal in vertical section including a rearward sloping top wall 47, a vertical rear wall 48, and a horizontally disposed bottom wall 49. In the form shown the housing 36 is divided by vertical partition wall 52 into side-by-side dispensing vessels or chambers 53 and 54 with the vessel 53 designed to contain, when full, about one-cup liquid measure of a liquid washing or treating agent such as chlorine bleach, while the vessel 54 is designed to contain when full about 1/2 cup liquid measure of fabric softener or water conditioner. As viewed in FIG. 5, with the console rear wall 56 removed, it will be seen that dispenser housing partition 52 is asymmetrical or offset a predetermined amount so as to be closer to housing side wall 57 than housing side wall 58 to provide the unequal liquid measuring and dispensing vessels. FIG. 2 shows suitable indicia is provided on the control panel 30 adjacent the elongated parts 42 and 43 to indicate to the operator the level of treating agent in each chamber 54 and 53 respectively, which level can be compared to its associated indicia to enable the user to pre-measure the quantities therein in a manner to be explained. Also, the control panel 30 may include printed instructions to aid in the operation of the washer together with proper indicia relative to the control switches 30a-30e.
As seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the console 28, in the preferred form, is an elongated box-like structure in which its rearward sloping top wall 62 and bottom wall 63 both formed at right angles to control panel 30, which together with the control panel 30, are preferably formed of one piece of sheet metal closed by side walls 64. The demountable back wall 56 encloses the rear access opening of the console 28.
With reference to FIGS. 1-4, a bulk storage container or reservoir member, generally indicated at 70, is shown supported on the sloping console top wall 62 which is divided into supply tanks each containing a substantial amount of a suitable liquid treating agent. The bulk storage reservoir 70 in the disclosed form is molded from suitable plastic material to provide a pentagon-shaped vertical section including a top wall 71 (FIG. 1), a forwardly sloping front wall portion 72, a rearwardly sloping support wall 73 coextensive with and supported as console wall 62, a bottom horizontal wall 74 and a rear vertical wall 75. The bulk storage container side walls 76 and 77 are substantially coplanar with the console side walls 64; with each side wall 76 and 77 having an integral gusset-like extension, one of which is shown at 78 in FIG. 3 for side wall 77. The gusset extensions each have integral right-angle flanges, such as flange 79 for extension 78, suitably secured to the console back wall plate 56 as by threaded fasteners (not shown).
In the present form of the invention the reservoir member 70 is divided by vertical partition 82 into two side-by-side unequal capacity liquid storage tanks 83 and 84. It will be seen in FIG. 5 that appropriate conduit means, such as flexible connecting tube 86, is provided to connect outlet 87 of the larger capacity storage tank 83 to inlet valve means 88 of measuring and dispensing vessel 53 which for purposes of the present disclosure contains liquid bleach. In a like manner suitable conduit means such as connecting tube 92 is provided to connect the outlet 93 of the smaller capacity tank 84 to inlet valve means 94 of a measuring and dispensing vessel 54 which in the disclosed invention contains a liquid fabric softener. As seen in FIG. 1, bulk storage fill means are provided in the form of openings 95 and 96 in top wall 71 positioned on either side of partition 82 with suitable closure means, such as pivotal closure member 97, a cover 98 and a plurality of separator guides 99 integrally formed thereon, operable to close the fill openings 95 and 96. As seen in FIG. 3, the outer guides are formed with outwardly extending stop flanges 90 and detents 91 to enable the closure member 97 to be retained in open position for ease in filling the tanks 83 and 84.
As seen in FIGS. 3 and 4, the inlet valve means 88 and 94 are preferably identical and consequently they are identified with similar elements given the same reference numerals, the exception being that each reference numeral for the vessel 54 valve means 94 is primed. The valve means 88, positioned with dispenser vessel 53, has a body 100 provided with a through bore 101 defining an annular valve seat 102 which is selectively closed by plunger 104 including a closure 105 biased toward the valve seat by coil spring 106. The plunger closure 105 is selectively urged away from valve seat 102 by the operator manually depressing plunger button 108, located on the end of plunger 104 so as to extend outward through the control panel 30 at a location beneath the bleach viewing sight window 34. In a similar manner the valve means 94, for the water softener dispenser vessel 54, has a manually operated plunger button 110 shown located beneath the softener viewing sight window 32. The conduits or lines 86 and 92 in the disclosed form are formed of elastic rubber-like material with their lower ends connected to the inlets 112 and 113 of their associated valve housings.
Thus, upon the operator depressing the button 108, for example, bleach treating agent is fed by gravity flow from reservoir 83 through the tube 86 to the valve inlet 112 past the unseated valve closure 105, into bore 101 and exits the valve outlet passage 114 into the bleach dispensing vessel 53. In like manner upon the button 110 being depressed by the user the water softener agent is caused to flow from reservoir tank 84 through the tube 92 to the valve inlet 113 and exits the valve outlet 116 for flow into the softener dispensing vessel 54.
The treating agent dispensing vessels 53 and 54 further include outlet valve means generally indicated at 118 and 120 which are of similar construction with the similar elements given the same reference numeral, the exception being that each reference numeral for the water softener dispensing vessel valve means 120 is primed. Thus, valve means 118 in the disclosed form includes an upper valve body 121 integrally molded into wall 47 provided with a cylindrical bore 122, defining, at a lower position, an annular valve seat 123 which is selectively closed by a plunger 124 with first valve closure means in the form of a valve poppet 126 selectively biased toward the valve seat by a coil spring 127. The valve plunger 124 is selectively urged away from valve seat 123 by suitable connection means to be described, operated by timer means which in the form shown is a conventional washer timer switch generally indicated at 130 in FIG. 5.
As seen in FIG. 2, the control knob 30e of the timer is conventional in the art, and is manually operated by the user to rotate a drive shaft 132 and set the main timer cams (not shown) at a start position, from which the cams are then mechanically driven by a main timer motor 134. The control knob 30e, as shown, may be set at any of a variety of positions based on the clothes' condition and material such as REGULAR SOAK; PRE-WASH or EXTRA RINSE, PERMANENT PRESS or KNITS or EXTRA RINSE. FIG. 5 shows the timer cam shaft 132 provided with an additional pair of first and second cam members 142 and 144 each having a periphery of substantially constant radius and each having a pair of notches (not shown) disposed therein for purposes to be described below.
A pair of first and second treating agent start and stop lever members 146 and 147 are shown in FIG. 5 rotatably disposed on the end of a pin member 148, fixed to and extending rearwardly from timer motor bracket (not shown) such that the lever members are adapted to rotated in a plane substantially perpendicular to the axis of the timer shaft 132. The rearmost lever 146 is in the form of a double-L shaped actuating lever with its upper lever arm 152 having a right-angled flange 153 at its free end shown in FIG. 4 connected to the upper end 154 of valve plunger 124' which extends through a flexible seal 156' sealing the upper open end of valve housing 121'. The double-L lever 146 has the free end of its lower lever arm 157 provided with a cam follower (not shown) adapted to engage cam notches on the surface of cam 142. A spring member 158 is shown disposed between the lower lever arm 157 and bracket 159 so as to bias double-L lever 146 in a counterclockwise direction toward the cam shaft 132. The bracket 159 is shown with a plurality of holes 162 to allow adjustment of the tension coil spring 158. The double-L lever 146 has its intermediate leg 164 pivotally supported on pin 148.
It will be noted in FIG. 5 that the second start and stop double-L lever 147 has an upper actuating lever arm 172 and a lower lever arm 173 connected by a vertical leg portion (not shown) pivoted on pin 148 to rotate in a plane parallel to double-L level 146. The upper actuating lever arm 172 has a right-angled flange 174 shown in FIG. 3 connected to the upper extension 154 of valve 118 plunger 124. In a like manner to double-L lever 147 has a cam follower (not shown) on the free end of its lower lever arm 173 adapted to sequentially engage cam notches on the surface of second or forward cam member 144. A coil spring member 178 is partially shown disposed between the lower lever arm 173 and bracket 159 similar to spring 158, so as to bias second double-L lever 147 in a direction toward the cam shaft 132.
As viewed in FIG. 3, valve means 118 includes the upper valve body 121 and a second lower valve body 180 which in the disclosed form is cylindrical in shape and integrally molded on bottom wall 49 of the dispensing vessel 53 defining a cylindrical bore 184 having an annular valve seat 186. A lower extension or rod 188 on plunger 124 includes a lower valve closure or poppet 190 which is selectively biased toward the valve seat 186 by the valve coil spring 127. The lower valve closure 190 is selectively urged away from the valve seat 186 in unison with the upper valve closure 126 by the washer timer connection means 146.
Referring now to FIG. 4, the valve means 120 includes a second or lower valve housing or body 180'. As seen in FIG. 5 the valve housings 180 and 180' are interconnected by a transverse conduit generally indicated at 210 providing manifold means for interconnecting the two lower valve chambers 184 and 184' by means of a common passageway 212 having one end extending beyond the side wall 57 of the dispenser housing 40 so as to communicate via a right angle tap with connected 216 having its upper end 217 connected by flexible conduit 218 to an elbow member 220. The elbow 220 has its 90� tap 222 connected to an elongated box-shaped manifold portion 224 formed integrally with the top wall 47 of the dispenser housing 40 by means of an offset upper wall 226 and right-angled side wall 228. The box-shaped manifold portion 224 communicates with both dispensing vessels 53 and 54 to equalize the pressure within the dispenser vessels and prevents any mixture of water or treating agents to be drawn back into the supply line, thereby allowing the treating agents to flow by gravity out exit conduit 230 to the washing chamber 18.
It will be seen in FIGS. 3-5 that with the above-disclosed arrangement of parts, upon the plunger button 108 being depressed by the user it will cause an opening of the valve closure 105 to allow the treating agent in bulk storage reservoir 83 such as liquid bleach, to flow by means of gravity through the conduit 86 and through valve inlet 112 and valve outlet passage 114 into the dispensing vessel 53 whereby the upwardly progressing level of liquid can be observed through the viewing window 32. By virtue of the indicia along the viewing window slot or opening 43, which is calibrated to designate the different volumetric capacities of the dispensing vessel 53 corresponding to the level of the liquid in the viewing window, the visual volume filling of the dispensing vessel 53 may be readily affected. In a like manner the dispensing vessel 54 may be filled by the operator depressing button 110 and observing the liquid level in viewing window 34.
Referring now to FIGS. 1-5, the complete operation will be described using the assumption of a normal load to be washed and is intended that the liquid bleach and liquid fabric softener are to be provided in the dispensing vessels 53 and 54, respectively. With this assumption, the desired washing cycle is selected by the rotary switch of the timer and the rotating knob is pushed inwardly closing the timer switch, the timer motor will start to operate. After a selected time period of operation during the wash cycle indicated by suitable indicia on the timer dial, the cam 144 rotates one of its notches into a correct position causing the lower lever arm 157 to pivot downwardly and upper lever arm 172 to pivot upwardly lifting the valve stem extension 154 and opening the valve closure member 126 and 190. The opening of the valve closure 190 permits bleach within the dispensing vessel 53 to flow by gravity through the valve chamber 184 and into the exit line 210 and thence into the connector 216 and be carried by means of discharge tube or conduit 230 to the outlet host grommet 232 held securely in an aperture of the top 15. The washing agent bleach will be projected into the bulkhead area 234 between the outer tub and inner spin tub 19. The raw bleach is then allowed to comingle or mix with the wash water in the bulkhead 234 thus avoiding having concentrated chlorine bleach being directly poured onto the clothes in the washing tub and avoiding the adverse effect on the strength of the fibers forming the clothes to prevent damage thereto. The bleach and water mixture then flows through the inner tub apertures 236 into the tub 19 to perform its function at any selected point in the washing cycle depending upon the setting of the timer cam 142. Upon further rotation of the cam 142 by the shaft 132, the cam follower of lower lever arm 157 moves out of its cam notch resulting in the seating of the valve closure 190.
At the conclusion of the wash cycle and at some point during the rinse cycle determined by the rotation of the timer shaft 132 the end of the lower lever arm 173 moves radially inwardly toward the shaft 132 to actuate the softener liquid agent valve closures 126' and 190' to open position. At this time the softener treating agent within the vessel 54 follows a gravity course into the valve chamber 184' and by means of common discharge passage 212 and connector 216 the water softener agent flows through the discharge conduit 230 into the bulkhead 234 in a manner identical to the bleach treating agent. As wash agents such as water softeners do not mix or dissolve easily in water, they have a tendency to plug or clog the control valves of a dispensing system. To alleviate this problem applicant has provided a self-cleaning feature which is initiated by the same means utilized to actuate the dispensing operation. Thus, the timer cam 144 is arranged to keep both the upper valve closure 123' and the lower valve closure 190' open during a portion of the final spray rinse of the automatic washer. In this way, after the softener agent has drained from the dispensing vessel 54, water fills the tub rinse tube, indicated generally at 240 in FIG. 4, at supply pressure to cause issuance thereof in a plurality of pressure sprays from the slots 242 arranged around the bottom of the tube 240. A portion of the pressurized rinse water is forced through line or conduit 244 from the spray rinse tube upwardly under pressure into the inlet opening 129 of the upper valve housing 121' and into cylindrical bore 122'. Because both the upper valve closure 126' and lower valve closure 190' of valve means 120 in the water softener treating agent vessel 54 are held in their open position by the timer cam 144, a portion of the rinse water enters through the upper valve outlet 128' to dissolve any remaining treating agent in vessel 54 and the dilution water is withdrawn from the vessel 54 and flushed via lower valve 180 and its gravity drain passages into the drain of the washer.
While the embodiment of the present invention as herein disclosed constitutes a preferred form, it is to be understood that other forms might be adopted.

The circle now has come to it's end
You've found somebody new to change
You try to rearrange-put the girl in a pretty cage
It just shows how brave you are
I gave you all and then some more
But that was not enough
I gave and lost and lost and gave
No matter how great the cost
Lets see how much this new girl can take
Lets see how long she can be a fake
You know you'll never be satisfied
You're the one that lies
It just shows how great you are

Neuron/glial 2 (NG2)-expressing cells are often referred to as oligodendrocyte precursor cells. NG2-expressing cells have also been identified as multipotent progenitor cells. However, microglia-like NG2 glial cells have not been fully examined in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD). In the present study, we chose two rat models of PD, i.e., intranigral or intrastriatal injection of 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA), since the cell bodies of dopamine (DA) neurons, which form a nigrostriatal pathway, are in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) while their nerve terminals are in the striatum. In the nigral 6-OHDA-injected model, activated NG2-positive cells were detected in the SNpc but not in the striatum. In contrast, in the striatal 6-OHDA-injected model, these cells were detected in both the SNpc and the striatum. In both models, activated NG2-positive cells were located close to surviving tyrosine hydroxylase (TH)-positive neurons in the SNpc. In addition, activated NG2-positive cells in the SNpc coexpressed ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba1), a microglia/macrophage marker. Interestingly, these double-positive glial cells coexpressed glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF). These results suggest that microglia-like NG2 glial cells may help protect DA neurons and may lead to new therapeutic targets in PD. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

"Peter and the Wolf," Prince and Puppets
Noche Flamenca, "Black Wizard/Blue Wizard" and More
'Sombras Sagradas'
The Joyce Theater
175 Eighth Ave., (212) 242-0800
Opens Tuesday
Celebrated flamenco dancer Soledad Barrio and her husband, director Martin Santangelo, founded Noche Flamenca 19 years ago. The company, based in Spain, has built a solid following in New York, selling out engagements in 2011 and 2012. This year, the program includes the world premiere of "El Cazador," a duet for Ms. Barrio and Juan Ogalla, inspired by Anton Chekhov's "The Huntsman." On Wednesday, Ms. Barrio will take part in a post-performance "dance chat," one we suspect will be lively and insightful.
'Peter & the Wolf With Isaac Mizrahi'
Works & Process at the Guggenheim
1071 Fifth Ave., (212) 423-3587
Opens Saturday
This is the seventh year that Works & Process at the Guggenheim has mounted Mr. Mizrahi's narration of Sergei Prokofiev's classic tale in their Frank Lloyd Wright-designed venue. Mr. Mizrahi is wearing many hats this time, including narrator, director, set designer and, naturally, costume designer. George Manahan returns to conduct the Juilliard Ensemble over the course of the 30-minute production. Past attendees might notice new choreography by John Heginbotham.
'Black Wizard/Blue Wizard'
Incubator Arts Project at St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery
131 E. 10th St., Second Floor
(212) 420-1916
Opens Thursday
Composer and lyricist Dave Malloy, a two time Obie-award winner for his work on "Natasha, Pierre & the Great Comet of 1812" and "Three Pianos," teams up with playwright and Half Straddle ensemble member Eliza Bent, to co-create and star in a world premiere musical about a music battle between wizards. Set to a "Prince-inspired medieval techno score," the production features a riffing trombonist, Andy Strain, and a 12-person ensemble of singers and dancers.
'La Divina Caricatura'
La MaMa
66 E. Fourth St., (212) 475-7710
Opens Friday
A co-production with St. Ann's Warehouse, Lee Breuer's world premiere Bunraku puppet pop-opera tells the story of a dog in love with her master, an independent filmmaker. The eclectic score, by Lincoln Schleifer, borrows from Motown, Argentine tango, reggae and Gregorian chants. The cast includes a quartet of soul singers and 15 puppeteers maneuvering characters designed by Julie Archer, Eric Novak, Emily DeCola and Jessica Scott.
Ars Nova
511 W. 54th St., (212) 352-3101
Starts Thursday
Over the past decade, Ars Nova has had considerable success with the costly, time-consuming business of nurturing unknown talent with projects like "Jollyship the Whiz-Bang," "Bloodsong of Love," and most recently, "Eager to Lose."In the "Uncharted" theater residency, four teams of theater artists are given two years worth of support to develop a draft of an original musical. This week, each team is given a night to perform selections from their works-in-progress. We're particularly curious to hear what composer Shaina Taub is cooking up with 28-year-old playwright Jen Silverman, who in the past couples of years has won a pile of writing awards, including the prestigious David Charles Horn Prize. The pair present work on Sunday.

Fussen hotels
Füssen General Information
Bavaria's gorgeous Ostallgäu district is a pretty enclave of Germany on the other side of Tyrol, Austria. Home to lush alpine foothills, lakes and bucolic countryside, Ostallgäu has a beautiful gem in the town of Füssen.
A tidy hamlet of less than 15,000 people, Füssen is a marvelous place to enjoy the best of Bavaria, from picture-postcard views to fairy tale architecture and traditional cuisine. The prominent Romantic Road stop has a long history and indeed, was a former outpost of the Roman Empire and later, a summer sanctuary for nobles and royalty. Today, Füssen draws tourists to premier attractions like Saint Mang's Basilica, with fresco art from the late 10th century, and come December, one of the best Christmas markets in Bavaria. The two main tourist magnets however, actually reside 3 to 4 km from Füssen. Two castles, Schloss Neuschwanstein and Schloss Hohenschwangau, reign supreme in Germany as perhaps the most popular attractions in the country. Neuschwanstein is famous as the 19th century Romanesque Revival masterpiece built by Ludwig II of Bavaria in full view of Hohenschwangau, the castle built by his father Maximilian II. Both elicit hundreds of thousands of tourists to pass through Füssen every year.

This article is part of the supplement: Proceedings of the 13th European workshop on QTL mapping and marker assisted selection
Bayesian multi-QTL mapping for growth curve parameters

2 Animal Breeding and Genomics Centre, Wageningen University P.O. box 338, 6700AH Wageningen, the Netherlands
3 Aarhus University DJF Department of Genetics and Biotechnology P.O. Box 50, 8830 Tjele, Denmark
BMC Proceedings 2010, 4(Suppl 1):S12 doi:10.1186/1753-6561-4-S1-S12Published: 31 March 2010
Identification of QTL affecting a phenotype which is measured multiple times on the same experimental unit is not a trivial task because the repeated measures are not independent and in most cases show a trend in time. A complicating factor is that in most cases the mean increases non-linear with time as well as the variance. A two- step approach was used to analyze a simulated data set containing 1000 individuals with 5 measurements each. First the measurements were summarized in latent variables and subsequently a genome wide analysis was performed of these latent variables to identify segregating QTL using a Bayesian algorithm.
For each individual a logistic growth curve was fitted and three latent variables: asymptote (ASYM), inflection point (XMID) and scaling factor (SCAL) were estimated per individual. Applying an 'animal' model showed heritabilities of approximately 48% for ASYM and SCAL while the heritability for XMID was approximately 24%. The genome wide scan revealed four QTLs affecting ASYM, one QTL affecting XMID and four QTLs affecting SCAL. The size of the QTL differed. QTL with a larger effect could be more precisely located compared to QTL with small effect. The locations of the QTLs for separate parameters were very close in some cases and probably caused the genetic correlation observed between ASYM and XMID and SCAL respectively. None of the QTL appeared on chromosome five.
Repeated observations on individuals were affected by at least nine QTLs. For most QTL a precise location could be determined. The QTL for the inflection point (XMID) was difficult to pinpoint and might actually exist of two closely linked QTL on chromosome one.

Second In A Series
In the movie "All the President's Men," Deep Throat tells Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward to "follow the money" to solve the Watergate mystery. The same advice applies to investors seeking stocks about to break out.
Winning stocks typically start rising in heavy volume before they move to new highs. The strong volume increases signal that mutual funds and other big funds are actively taking positions.
It usually takes such investors weeks or even months to accumulate the many thousands or even millions of shares they need to fill out their positions. This activity will be reflected in IBD's proprietary Accumulation-Distribution Rating, which analyzes a stock's price and volume trends over the prior 13 weeks.
A rating of "A" or "B" indicates that funds are buying, or "accumulating," the stock. A "C" rating is neutral, and a "D" or "E" indicates net selling, or "distribution."
Look at a stock's daily and weekly charts to see if the stock is rising in heavy volume. On breakout day, the volume should be more than 40% above average, indicating big fund buying. You can confirm this action against the Accumulation rating too.
The Accumulation-Distribution Rating appears in IBD's daily Research Tables, Stock Checkup at Investors.com and in charts accompanying the IBD 50 and Big Cap 20.
Use the A-D rating along with other tools before buying any stock. These include the stock's Composite Rating, which combines major IBD proprietary ratings into one, including the Accumulation, Earnings Per Share, and Relative Price Strength ratings.
The table included with this story shows the Accumulation-Distribution Rating of stocks currently near buy points. Their Composite and Relative Strength ratings are also provided, along with their percentage distance off their 52-week highs.
As always, make sure the overall market is in a confirmed uptrend and the stock is at a buy point in a properly formed base before jumping in.
Also, don't wait for the A-D Rating to fall to D or E before selling. Look at the stock's daily and weekly chart action before deciding whether to hold or sell. Pullbacks in below-average volume usually aren't a concern, but heavy-volume drops could mean that institutional investors are bailing out.
The number of leading stocks hitting new highs tripled to 15 as the market staged a strong positive reversal Friday. Among the rising stocks was Tyler Technologies (NYSE:TYL), up 3.62 to 168.01 in brisk trade, extending its 10% surge from the prior session. Shares are extended 15% from a 145.84 ...
Avago Technologies (NASDAQ:AVGO) is fashioning a new base. Eighteen weeks into its base-building effort, the stock is still below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages. For now, the Accumulation/Distribution Rating is subpar, and the up/down volume ratio is sharply below 1.0. Both indicate that ...

The tax-free environment in the GCC is set to change, VAT will help GCC economies experience diversified growth, says Mas Meghji
May 17, 2012 3:18 by kippreport
"GCC countries need to be able to diversify their economies. We've seen volatile oil prices, so governments are uncertain about their sources of revenues," said Nasser Saidi, chief economist at the Dubai International Financial Centre Authority
UAE residents – 80 per cent of which are expatriates – are already paying indirect taxes, custom duties and several other charges. Saidi believes VAT would consolidate the various fees UAE residents have to pay and would lower the overall burden. The general consensus is that VAT is the best way forward as it encourages savings and tax consumption, he said.
Ruba Al Hadi, economist with a multinational research firm, based in DIFC, said that for some time now the GCC states have been considering the introduction of VAT to compensate for the revenue lost as a result of the abolition of the import tariffs in the context of their custom union and planned FTAs with trading partners such as the United States and European Union. Therefore, the introduction of VAT is an issue that concerns the UAE as a member of the GCC.
VAT as a viable source of government revenue was first introduced in Europe and gradually spread to other countries. The VAT is now a key component of the tax system in more than 120 countries, she said. It is estimated that VAT raises more than one-fourth of the world tax revenue. If VAT is well designed and implemented, it can be an efficient way to raise revenue for government and modernize a country's taxation system.

Seinas' birthFlarena groaned as she laid down in her room, and then growled to herself after awhile. Where was Carrol?! It was almost morning, and she had been up all night waiting for him.
"Where the hell is he at?! He should be back by now." Flarena thought, and then looked at the purple, red, and blue egg between her two front paws.
"If only he was here to see how beautiful you looked." Flarena said before rubbing the egg gently.
She picked it up in her mouth and went back to the hatchery, and laid it down in the area the egg stayed alone. Flarena smiled gently at the egg. Suddenly the doors opened, and Flarena turned around to see Terrador, and he smiled in relief, and walked toward her.
"It's only you." Terrador said and stopped beside her looking at the egg.
"Came to see the egg again?" Someone else questioned, and Terrador with Flarena turned around to see Volteer and Cyril walking toward them.
"Of course. Why wouldn't I, when the egg is mine?" Flarena questioned.
"Heehee, just saying." Cyri
Everybody Loves Shulk: Fiora Loves ShulkFiora sighed as she rubbed her ever-growing-belly, a fond smile appearing on her face. Her smile faded though as she remembered Shulk was working later, and harder to support her, him, and the soon-to-be-born-baby. He had always been a dedicated worker, but she missed spending time with him, especially since, lately, everyone has been wanting a piece of his time. Work didn't seem to bother him, for he never came home tired, but everyone else was tiring him out, and he wanted some solitude, and she usually gave it to him when he got home. Today though would be a different day, for she was going to be taking up some of his time. Sure enough, Shulk walked through the door, bags under his eyes as he groaned.Everybody Loves Shulk: Fiora Loves Shulk1 year ago in Short Stories More Like This
"What is with everyone lately?" Shulk asked himself, before he saw Fiora, and gave her an apologetic smile.
"Hey Fiora, sorry I'm home late." Shulk said, going toward the couch, and sitting down.
"Don't worry about it, but are you okay?"
Be my Princess?N sighed as he watched Touko interact with her Pokemon. Her Samurott, Zoroark, Victini, Unfezant, Zebstrika, and lastly Reshiram. Reshiram was just smiling as Touko interacted with them all, and N couldn't help but smile also and looked at Zekrom, who longed to be beside his brother, to stop their battle.Be my Princess?3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
"Should we enter?" N asked him, and Zekrom looked down at him before nodding.
"Yes." He said lowly so only him and N could hear.
N smiled as he let his own Zoroark out. He seemed confused as he looked around, at least until his eyes landed on Toukos' Zoroark. Zoroark blushed as he saw her, then again, with them being the last two of their kind, who wouldn't.
"Let's go." N said after he toke a deep breath.
They walked into the clearing in the forest, which made Touko gasp and stand up. Her eyes widened as she saw him. There was no way he was back. Touko couldn't believe it. He was really in front of her. N smiled a little bit, and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Hey Touko." N said smilin
Kagome dies, Ch: 1Kagome was blown back from her and slammed into a tree. The completed jewel fell from her hand and in front of a certain priestess feet.Kagome dies, Ch: 15 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This
"Aw, such a shame Kagome. You dropped the Jewel." Kikyo said as she picked it up.
"No, don't touch it!" Kagome said as she did her Miko blast on Kikyo, making Kikyo drop the Jewel.
"No, give me the Jewel. I must become alive." Kikyo said as she aimed for the jewel.
"No, the only one who is allowed to make a wish is InuYasha." Kagome said as she ran where she knew InuYasha was waiting.
"No, I will not allow anyone to get away with the jewel." Kikyo said as she followed Kagome.
'I hope InuYasha is still there.' Kagome thought as she saw the well, and InuYasha was waiting there, and he stared at her.
"Kagome! Why is Kikyo following you?" InuYasha said as he stood up, and got out his sword.
Kagome turned around and saw Kikyo with her bow and arrows out.
"Kagome, give me the Jewel!" Kikyo demanded.
Kagome shook her head no violently, and Kikyo turne
