The reason for this is that the beta channel is better tested than the developer channel, so if you want to try out new features with the reassurance that it will be relatively stable, the beta channel version is the way to go. And Google has some new "tricks" it wants users to try out.
And what Google wants users to really try out right now is the newest Javascript engine in Chrome. It's through changes in the Javascript engine that Firefox 3.5 (nee 3.1), Safari 4, Chrome, and IE8 have been dueling over performance numbers.
According to Google's blog post:
The best thing about this new beta is speed — it's 25% faster on our V8 benchmark and 35% faster on the Sunspider benchmark than the current stable channel version and almost twice as fast when compared to our original beta version.Check out the new tab dragging feature below. And you can download the latest beta here.
Some of the new features you can try out include form autofill, full page zoom and autoscroll (both thanks to a new version of WebKit), and a cool new way to drag tabs out to get a side-by-side view (shown below).

With comedian Jerry Seinfeld set to perform at Kalamazoo's Miller Auditorium on June 20, we wanted to hear from MLive.com readers about their favorite "Seinfeld" moments.
The creation of the alternative holiday Festivus?
The puffy shirt episode?
George's run-ins with George Steinbrenner?
Elaine's dance moves?
Tell us in the comment section below. If you don't have an MLive.com account, you can create one for free here.
The show has an interesting history with Kalamazoo. Seinfeld last appeared in Kalamazoo in 2006. Seinfeld also performed in Kalamazoo in 2004, at a private New Year's Eve party at the Radisson Plaza Hotel & Suites.
The show's infamous "Soup Nazi" also paid a visit to Kalamazoo's Soup Kettle in 2002, where actor Larry Thomas screamed "No soup for you!" at waiting customers at the former downtown Kalamazoo eatery.
Kalamazoo's Shakespeare's Pub also hosts its annual Festivus party at the bar and restaurant.
To get an idea for the staying power of "Seinfeld," in 2010, Time Warner, which owns the series, reported it had earned $2.7 billion in the 12 years since it went off the air, according to article in the New York Post.

About the location
Newton Stewart 20 miles.
The picturesque village of the Isle of Whithorn, though no longer an island, nestles around its natural harbour on the southernmost tip of the Machars Peninsula, designated as an outstanding conservation area. The village has a long history of seafaring and trade, which dates back to the Vikings. The arrival in 397 of Ninian, Scotland's first missionary and saint, is thought to be the beginning of Scotland's Christian history, and the remains of the 13th century chapel can still be seen at the end of the harbour. A short, gentle climb will take you to the distinctive white tower - the Cairn - which has been a mariner's landmark for close on two centuries. Today the harbour is popular with visiting leisure sailors and with local boats fishing for crabs, lobsters and scallops. The area is steeped in history with numerous sites ranging from Mesolithic and Iron Age forts, standing stones and 'cup and ring' markings, an 11th century chapel and castles from the era of Robert the Bruce. Wigtown, Scotland's first book town, can be reached within a short drive, and has over a dozen book shops in which one can easily lose an hour or two! With beaches, forests, golf courses, gardens and churches to visit, this is an ideal base for discovering this corner of Scotland.

What's in a slot?
A quick follow-up to respond to some of the comments on my recent post about Dataslots as a replacement for Web2.0 style API's.
A quick precis is that instead of a service providing an API to manipulate my data (for example eBay might provide an API to list the auctions I have bid on) the service should pass the data (in some agreed format) back into my eBay slot so that it's under my control. I can then make this (along with other appropriate data) available to whatever services I want.
Julien Couvreur asks:
Doesn't this end up being just an API as well?
And of course he's right. There will have to be a bidirectional slot-API to allow the data to be manipulated. But this kind of misses the point. I'm not arguing against API's per-se, I'm arguing against a hegemony of service specific API's to manipulate data that may have other uses. Since it is unlikely that we can get API's harmonized (just look at the problems with API's for implementing weblog access; Does Blogger implement the MetaWeblogAPI even today?) we need another way.
But like I say we will still want API's and services to process this information and with the enhanced data at our disposal we will expect them to do more for us. The key point is that we will be the gatekeepers of this functionality. A service will not be able to arbitrarily limit the value of the data by constraining the API.
I do like the idea of a personal data store, although I tend to think of it in a distributed fashion instead of centralized.
I would disagree on this point. I will argue that most people don't want their information scattered over 1,000 distributed databases (or 100 or 25) but really want it consolidated into one convenient place. The more distributed it is the harder it is to keep track of, to keep it up to date, and the harder it becomes to protect. Whereas having my information in my own personal silo gives me convenience, oversight, and (hopefully) unified access controls for when I want to share it.
In short I want distributed services, but centralized information.
Marco over at Clipperz likes slots so much he's building a company around the idea. Clipperz has a different approach to PAOGA and it will be interesting to see how it develops. I recommend you go take a look at what they're doing.
Terry Donaghe also gets it:
I think the Dataslot idea should be standardized and all organizations that have data about me should share it with me if I chose to want to access it. I'm not sure that I personally would do anything with it, but I can see programs (like the personal agents we all want) that could access and manipulate this sort of stuff.
Absolutely. The heart of the Dataslot concept is that by getting control over my information I enable a range of new opportunities. If you're a high net worth individual you might have a concierge service that learn your needs and help sort out your life but most of us aren't willing to fork over several hundred pounds a month for this kind of thing. If our information was given back to us then low-cost personal agents could learn about us, our needs, and our preferences and help make life smoother and more convenient.
Terry also raises a good point:
Of course, the big problem seems to be one of security. I'd guess marketers and identity fraud folks would LOVE access to all of this information.
Security is a problem. The bigger the honey pot the larger the swarm of bee's. From a PAOGA perspective we have invested a lot of effort in building a platform that delivers security. For example each individuals information is held in our database encrypted with their own personal keys. With the caveat that security is a journey not a destination, we think we're in pretty good shape in this respect.
Where we will be focusing our efforts is on the permission question. How do you make it convenient and (as far as possible) fool-proof for individuals to decide who gets to see subsets of their information? I don't have even a remotely good answer to this question yet but we're working on it because it's a very important question.
But, getting back to the point, YES marketers and other folks want this information. There's really nothing wrong with that if we give informed consent for them to have it. If you want a particular product or service and you trust the supplier it's rarely a problem. Where the system goes wrong is that for so long we have been abused by people we don't trust representing products and services we don't want.
This is why it's so important to give control back to the individual. Once individuals trust they are in charge enterprise can go about mending the fences that it has spent so long trampling over. The end result will be a better deal for everyone (at least for everyone who plays fair).
And this brings me to another point that I shall probably address in a future post but trail here: Enterprises are slowly waking up to the fact that those very expensive CRM databases they are building (and, at great cost, maintaining) are really a huge liability. All that data sloshing around is rotting faster than they can replace it and the bad press when it gets lost, stolen, and exploited can damage that brand you spent so much to acquire.
The answer is to give as much of the data as possible back to the customer (best place for it anyway) and ask for permission to access it. The Dataslot is a great way of getting started because you can begin to give the data back to the customer and let them help you keep it up to date. As the architecture and processes evolve you can just turn off the bits of CRM you no longer need. There are other offshoots here but I'll save those for future posts.
So, in summary, control for the individual, the possibility of more effective services, enabling of personal agents, a more ethical and less risky approach to CRM. Sounds to me like Dataslots have a lot going for them.
But I could still be crazy... you decide!

Something Sacred
I want to thank Drew Christiansen, S.J., for his recent Memorial Day reflection (5/24) and to tell him how much his words and thoughts resonated with my eighth-grade students at The American School in London. Though few of our students here at the A.S.L. are British, we are guests in a country that still reveres Wilfred Owen and the soldier poets of World War I. Every one of my students knows Dulce et Decorum Est, and "the old Lie" is hardly lost on these 13-year-olds, whose perceptions of America have been shaken both by the events themselves and by the BBC's reports of the war during the past year and a half. However, Father Christiansen's frustration at being denied the right to honor those who have lost their lives during the Iraq war is something our eighth graders here can understand, perhaps in a slightly different way.
We have just returned from a weeklong excursion visiting the American, British and Canadian landing beaches at Normandy. We laid a wreath at St. Laurent Cemetery; each student placed a poppy (the flower still worn on many a lapel each Remembrance Day) on the grave of a soldier from his or her home state. Our Israeli students walked tentatively around the teutonic crosses marking the German soldiers' graves at LeCambe Cemetery, and a few kids became emotional reading the poetic inscriptions and viewing all the flowers that adorn the graves at the British cemetery.
Many of these young people had never seen or visited a cemetery. Many do not believe in God, let alone the Resurrection. For some of our 132 eighth graders, this was the first time they had ever experienced something sacred: consecrated ground, hallowed by the thousands of young men just a few years older than themselves, who gave their lives so that we might live. This did sink in, and it is comforting to know that even as the number of World War II veterans is thinning, there are young people who are still moved by their stories and their sacrifices. Perhaps this is the "anthem for doomed youth" our students will carry with them.

Not as Simple
In the May 17 issue, Prof. John Kenneth White of The Catholic University of America is quoted as having responded positively to the question: "Have Catholics always leaned toward the Democratic Party?" That "always" is not accurate if one recalls the history of Catholics in the early days of the American Republic.
The dean of American Catholic history, the late Msgr. John Tracy Ellis, in his classic work American Catholicism, wrote, "That the great majority of Catholics in the early national period consulted their own interests and found them best served by the Federalist Party was true, and after the breakup of the Federalists their choice lay between the Democrats and the Whigs."
If one examines the lives of such leading Catholics as Bishop John Carroll (1736-1815) of Baltimore and his cousin Charles Carroll (1737-1832) of Carrollton, who signed the Declaration of Independence, one will find that they were strong Federalists. The former, like many Catholic clergymen of that time, was more sympathetic to the party of Alexander Hamilton than to that of Thomas Jefferson, while Charles was a U.S. senator of the Federalist Party. Even Matthew Carey (1760-1839), a publisher who tended toward the party of Jefferson because of its stand against England, supported the economic policies of the party of Hamilton because they were more beneficial to his interests. Certainly, more steadfast than Carey in their loyalty to the Federalist Party were Thomas FitzSimons (1741-1811), a signer of the Federal Constitution who later served as a U.S. congressman from Pennsylvania; William Gaston (1778-1844), U.S. congressman from North Carolina; and Robert Walsh (1784-1859), the founder of the American Quarterly Review.
Thus, Catholic voting is not as simple as portrayed in the article by Matt Malone, N.S.J., "Catholic Voting: A Short History."

Support Networks
As Angela Senander forcefully points out in "Standing with Pregnant Students" (5/24), attentive and sensitive care for pregnant students should be an essential part of the pro-life commitment of a Catholic campus. For Jesuit institutions, the Jesuit statement, "Standing for the Unborn," provides an even more direct challenge.
Ms. Senander notes that her survey of Web sites found that only two of our schools adequately communicate their ability to support pregnant students. My very quick check with our campus ministers indicates that in fact we do much better in actually providing services than in formally communicating their availability. There is honest disagreement about the appropriateness of the Web as a place to share information at this critical time in the life of a student, but there is no disagreement about the importance of being available and helpful. Many schools provide brochures and other literature, and use various opportunities to make known the help that is available.
Campuses are sensitive to a pregnant student's privacy concerns in providing guidance and adequate health care, dealing with housing issues and offering financial help. On-campus services are provided not only by student health services and university ministry, but also by residence life, counseling and career services, food service and pro-life student groups. These services link with off-campus support groups like the Nurturing Network, which enables students to transfer to other campuses, and Birthright.
I am confident that Ms. Senander's article will encourage us to re-evaluate the effectiveness of how well we are communicating our ability to be helpful to pregnant students and to improve the support networks we have in place.
Charles L. Currie, S.J.
President, Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities
Washington, D.C.
At a time when the credibility of many of our bishops is questioned or denied by substantial numbers of Catholics, some cardinals and bishops in the Vatican and the United States think they are being pastoral when they use severity and prohibitions in their pronouncements. This is particularly the case where several of them have prohibited Catholic politicians from receiving the Eucharist if they legislatively support abortion (Signs of the Times, 5/7).
That extraordinary pope, Blessed John XXIII, in his opening talk at the Second Vatican Council, was mindful of the presence of errors often condemned by the church. Nevertheless, he said: "Nowadays, however, the Spouse of Christ prefers to make use of the medicine of mercy rather than that of severity." Is there anything more severe than the denial of the Eucharist to members of the ecclesial body of Christ?
Bishops who act in this manner seem unable or unwilling to engage in public dialogic discourse about the relationship of Catholic faith and conscience in a democracy, where politicians must represent the whole electorate, not only people who agree with Catholic teachings. If bishops continue to deny the Eucharist, preferring severity to mercy, they may find that even fewer Catholics, laity and clergy, will listen to and obey what they say.

Courage to Print
These are lonely times for liberals. "Compassion" has been redefined by a conservative president; the War Against Poverty has been replaced by a war against the poorly housed, the poorly educated, the poorly fed and the uninsured sick; the evil that is war is begetting its unbounded, evil behaviors; institutionalized Washingtonian hubris dismisses the wisdom of religious voices for peace. It is like a remaking of the Napoleonic tragedy after the principles of the Revolution were lost in the subsequent unslaked thirst for power. People who think they know "the truth" are always dangerous.
Therefore, when I read the Of Many Things column by Drew Christiansen, S.J., the editorial "Catholics and Politics 2004" and Raymond Aumack's "The Jesuits Are Too Liberal," I did not feel as lonely (5/24). There still are informed and articulate people who have the courage to speak to the awful mess we are in and a weekly magazine that has the courage to print their words.

Fairly Conservative
I smiled when I saw the title of Raymond Aumack's article, "The Jesuits Are Too Liberal" (5/24). It took me back more than 10 years to a gathering of residents in our condo complex in a Memphis suburb. We were newcomers to the area; and while making connections, I mentioned that our sons had attended a Jesuit high school in St. Louis. One of the men asked if my sons were liberal because, you know, the Jesuits are, uh, pretty liberal. I smiled and said that my sons weren't particularly liberal but that their mother was and that was why they were at that school. What a great conversation killer! Our sons are still fairly conservative, but at least one of them thought from the beginning that we had no reason to invade Iraq.

MONSON - Highway Surveyor John Morrell said damage to town roads and culverts from Sunday morning's torrential rains will exceed $100,000.
"I know it's over $100,000, I can tell you that much" Morrell said Monday. "It's probably somewhere between $100,000 and $125,000."
Town officials continue to assess the damage left in wake of the torrential rains that dumped nearly 6 inches here Sunday morning and forced the temporary closing of at least a dozen roads due to washouts and flooding
All roads are now open and Town Administrator Gretchen Neggers said Monday morning that the town's state of emergency will likely be lifted soon.
"Now it's a question of making permanent repairs," Neggers said.
Beebe Road, the hardest hit by far, lost some 300 feet of roadway to washouts - some 6 to 8 feet deep, Morrell said.
T-Peck Road and Chestnut Street also lost large sections of pavement. "They did a remarkable job getting those roads open," Neggers said.
Morrell said residents should report road damage and washouts to the Highway Department at (413) 267-4135. "If there is no cone or barrel by that location we probably don't know about it," he said. "Little things keep popping up but even they can be really dangerous hazards."
Morrell said Beebe Road will probably be closed for several hours on Wednesday while workers apply a base course of asphalt.
Other damages include several headwalls that collapsed near culverts. "We have to restore those headwalls before we get any more water," Morrell said.
Monson's state of emergency, imposed following torrential rains, should be lifted soon

When selling your products, it's important to make sure that customers are directed to a means to purchase them. On a 1920×1080 resolution (a large screen), this is very easy to do. Everything that's important can just appear "above the fold." In other words, you can put your calls to action where the prospect actually sees them without scrolling down.
On a phone, or other mobile device, the story is quite different. Smartphone screens measure anywhere from 3 to 5 inches, with certain exceptions. This can really defeat the purpose of your website unless you create a mobile-friendly environment. But you're still missing the psychological dilemma. On most mobile pages, your visitors still have to scroll around to view everything, allowing them to easily be distracted by other material you may have. In a big-screen environment, this doesn't present any trouble. But when the screen size is limited, it's difficult to get your message across because your visitors will mostly focus on certain areas of the site. Since they generally have the tendency to view one small piece of your site at a time, it's imperative to have a mobile landing page.
Sujay Maheshwari, CEO and co-founder of Mobinable, explains the reason why you would need a landing page more clearly: "Mobile landing pages present a particular call to action; they focus on a particular 'goal' and don't allow the user to be distracted. They understand the mobile form factor, limitations, and the fact that the user might not be engaged for a very long time." He adds that mobile landing pages "get the work done ASAP." This means that your visitors will be directed towards more actionable pages rather than huge blocks of text.
With a mobile landing page, you end up with a more actionable web interface that gives visitors quick incentives to make purchases and informs them of the best offers you have. It's a win-win, literally, since you also benefit by racking in a higher amount of conversions. Instead of testing the patience of your customers, you give them what they want quickly without any fuss.

In 12 years as principal at Tottenville High School, John Tuminaro has always greeted the parents of the school's incoming ninth-graders with the same message: His school is open.
The school day doesn't end at 3 p.m. In the hours after, Tottenville remains alive with activity, a place where students can find a safe haven, engaged with clubs and sports and other programs.
"I'm open to 9 o'clock or 9:30," said Tuminaro. "I've been saying this to parents. I've been saying this all the years I've been principal."
He said it this year too. He might not be able to say it next year.
Tuminaro and other principals and athletic directors around Staten Island are adjusting to new Department of Education restrictions on how long school grounds are available to them after hours.
Until now, coaches have been free to schedule practices and non-league games as they wished.
But the Department of Education is changing the way it handles after-school activities. Schools across the city will now close at 6 p.m., Monday through Friday. Any hours after that, or on weekends, and individual schools must pay the custodial costs out of an allotment provided to them.
"If I project ahead," said Tuminaro, "it's going to be a very close call whether I can keep my building open the way I used to keep my building open."
Individual schools will not have to pick up the costs for league games sanctioned by the PSAL in the off hours. But in a sport such as boys' basketball, Staten Island is unique in the city in playing many of its games in the evenings, rather than after school.
And non-league games, whether it's a Staten Island High School Soccer League game on the weekend — the Pirates have already given up one such home game to play at a Catholic school site — or SIHSL boys' basketball games, will have to come out of the school's allotment.
That could lead to traditional SIHSL evening games being moved to the afternoon in order to conclude by 6 p.m. and preserve a school's budget.
"They are paying for the PSAL games," said Tuminaro. "But if they're not going to pay for the non-PSAL games, I guess we would have to move those games to the afternoon."
Contrary to other published reports, individual schools are not presently required to pay for school safety agents beyond 6 p.m. or on weekends. That will change next year, Tuminaro said, although he didn't know if each school's individual allotment would be adjusted upward for the added expenditure.
The process has changed as well.
When schools do plan to open up parts of the building after hours, a more specific permit request must be made. For example, when the Pirate football team played at Sheepshead Bay on Saturday, Tuminaro had to file one permit for the team to gather at the school in the morning, and a second for when it returned after the game to change and put away its equipment.
At Tottenville, it's a huge undertaking. The school has nearly 4,000 students, with 39 varsity or junior varsity athletic teams. During the 2009-10 school year, Tottenville's athletic rosters listed 971 active student-athletes.
"I've got to get all these teams practice time," said Tuminaro. "If I open up my building Saturday and I've got different teams coming and going, I'm paying for this."
The restrictions take away the advantages Tottenville had in dealing with another controversial shift, last year's move of the girls' soccer season from the spring to the fall. The additional games led to a battle for field space around the city, a rise in game forfeitures and a drop in participating athletes.
With its large complex, and more importantly, the lights on the football field that allowed games and even practices at night, Tottenville felt the field crunch less than others. That flexibility will be tougher to use now.
In difficult economic times, it could be worse. Some school districts around the country have resorted to more extreme measures, cutting either junior varsity sports or entire athletic programs. Sports and other after-school activities are often regarded in tight fiscal situations as extravagances, secondary to core classroom missions.
Maybe it's time to stop thinking of extra-curricular activities as "extra" and rather as integral parts of the educational experience, where students work together and bond as part of a team. In that respect, there's little difference between football and the school musical.
That's the way Tuminaro has always seen it.
"I have always said to parents that extra-curricular activities, whether it's sports or music, is the best thing for kids," said Tuminaro. "I have always told them my building is open."

Having occasion to travel between Twillingate and St. John's every New Year's, I never fail to observe the highway sign on the Trans-Canada Highway that gives the number of highway fatalities during the course of the year.
Last year the number was 33 and this year the sign said 26. Not counting the two individuals who tragically lost their lives recently on the Northern Peninsula Highway, approximately 60 individuals have lost their lives on our highways during the past 24 months.
Like any parent and grandparent, it is a source of great concern and worry for me any time that my children and grandkids are travelling on our highways, as I am acutely aware of the great risk presented by a variety of potential road hazards.
I am concerned, however, that the vast majority of expressions of concern to the various media involves only the hazard presented by moose on the highway.
A stranger to our province, listening to the open-line shows, would very quickly come to adopt an opinion that there were moose on every turn and that the majority of tragic accidents are caused by moose on the roadways. In actual fact, by focusing exclusively on the potential for a moose accident, those individuals who purport to be attempting to save our motoring public from harm may actually be diverting attention away from other factors that in effect result in over 95 per cent of fatalities on the highways.
In fact, as tragic as they are for the families concerned, my research leads me to conclude that fatalities involving moose collisions accounted for less than five per cent of highways deaths over the past two years, yet generated perhaps 95 per cent of discussion on the open line shows concerning the hazards facing drivers.
As a moose hunter and one who values our great wildlife resources, it pains me to see the provincial government basing their moose licencing policies on the number of disparaging calls to the open-line shows labelling the magnificent moose as nuisances that, in fact, have no right to exist on the island, not being native to Newfoundland. Last time I checked, we were not native to this island either, and I for one do not want to add to our disgraceful legacy of exterminating things that bother us in the least by eliminating this great wildlife resource.
In fact, there are many things we can do, as drivers, to lessen our chances of a moose/vehicle collision, and it is about time that the discussion turned to other things that put our children at risk, such as drivers whose tires resemble bologna skins or those who speed along when three inches of slush covers the roadway as if it were a sunny day in August.
As for moose, I want my grandchildren to have the opportunity to live in a province rich with wildlife — a source of food, both for the body and the soul.

At a time when higher education leaders worry that the general public knows far too little about the contributions historically Black colleges and universities (HBCU) and their graduates are making to U.S. society, the federal government office charged with HBCU advocacy has launched a program aimed at recognizing high-achieving HBCU students.
Early last month, the White House Initiative on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (WHIHBCU) announced the inaugural class of the HBCU All-Stars. The All-Star class includes 75 undergraduate, graduate and professional students who are being lauded for their accomplishments in scholarship, leadership and civic engagement. Enrolled at 62 historically Black schools, the All-Stars were selected from a field of 445 students who each submitted an application that included a transcript, resume, essay and recommendation, according to the White House Initiative.

Andrť Jolivet
Aug. 8, 1905
City of Paris
őle-de-France, France
Dec. 20, 1974
City of Paris
őle-de-France, France
Composer. Born in Paris, France. Andre developed an interest in the arts early in his life, taking up painting and cello lessons at the age of 14. However, he was encouraged by his parents to become a teacher, going to teachers' college and teaching primary school in Paris. Interested in drama, painting, and literature as a young man, he soon turned to music and studied seriously with the avant-garde composer Edgard VarŤse, among others. His early works String Quartet and Andante for String Orchestra, both 1934 demonstrate his familiarity with the techniques of Bťla Bartůk, Arnold Schoenberg, and Alban Berg. In 1935 Andre helped found a contemporary chamber-music organization, La Spirale, later to become La Jeune France the name originated with Hector Berlioz, dedicated to fostering modern nationalistic music. During his service in the French Army during World War II, Andre grew interested in primitive religion and magic influences that may be detected in his style. Andre's aesthetic ideals underwent many changes throughout his career. His initial desire as an adolescent was to write music for the theater, which inspired his first compositions, including music for a ballet. Claude Debussy, Paul Dukas, and Maurice Ravel were to be his next influences after he heard a concert of their work in 1919; he composed several piano pieces while training to become a teacher before going to study with Le Flem. Schoenberg and VarŤse were strongly evident in his first period of maturity as a composer, during which his style drew heavily upon atonality and modernistic ideas. Mana in 1933, the beginning of his "magic period", was a work in six parts for piano, with each part named after one of the six objects VarŤse left with him before moving to the United States. Andre's intent as a composer throughout his career was to "give back to music its original, ancient meaning, when it was the magical, incantatory expression of the religious beliefs of human groups." Mana, even as one of his first mature works, is a reflection of this; He considered the sculptures as fetish objects. His further writing continues to seek the original meanings of music and its capacity for emotional, ritual, and celebratory expression. In 1945 he was named music director of the Comťdie-FranÁaise; thereafter he developed an expressive melodic style exemplified in the virtuoso Concertino for Trumpet, Strings, and Piano in 1948 and the spontaneous but symmetrical Flute Concerto of 1949. Opposition to the Neoclassicism of the 1930s led him to experiments with the Ondes Martenot, an electronic instrument Concerto, in 1948, and with complex and enormous orchestrations Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, in 1951, in which the movements evoke sounds of Africa, East Asia, and Polynesia. Finally realizing his youthful ambition to write for the theater, Andre became the musical director of the Comťdie FranÁaise in 1945, a post he held until 1959. While there he composed for plays by MoliŤre, Racine, Sophocles, Shakespeare, and Claudel, scoring 14 works in total. He also continued to compose for the concert hall, often inspired by his frequent travels around the world, adapting texts and music from Egypt, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia into his distinctly French style. Andre married twice, firstly violinist Martine Barbillion and they had a daughter together, his second wife was Hilda Ghuighui, together they shared three children. Andre founded the Centre FranÁais d'Humanisme Musical at Aix-en-Provence in 1959, and in 1961 went to teach composition at the Paris Conservatoire. Andre died in Paris, leaving his opera Le soldat inconnu unfinished, he was 69 years old.

Despite their diversity, angiosperms are clearly united by a suite of synapomorphies (i.e., shared, derived features) including 1) ovules that are enclosed within a carpel, that is, a structure that is made up of an ovary, which encloses the ovules, and the stigma, a structure where pollen germination takes place, 2) double fertilization, which leads to the formation of an endosperm (a nutritive tissue within the seed that feeds the developing plant embryo), 3) stamens with two pairs of pollen sacs, 4) features of gametophyte structure and development, and 5) phloem tissue composed of sieve tubes and companion cells (see Doyle and Donoghue, 1986; Judd et al. 2002; P. Soltis et al., 2004; and D. Soltis et al., 2005, for further discussion). All available evidence strongly rejects hypotheses of more than one evolutionary origin of extant angiosperms.

In our ongoing tribute to trees tied to the annual Tour des Trees fund-raising trip across Oregon this week, today we offer information on understanding the names of the state's trees, common trees of the Pacific Northwest and tips on summer tree care. (We offering tree-related facts, tips and miscellanea between now and Aug. 11 as the 585-mile trip continues.
Oregon State University has a list of common trees of the Pacific Northwest. The tree identification Home Page at Oregon State University is there to help you
identify common conifers and broadleaved trees. It includes breakdowns by common and scientific names. The mystery tree link is a test to see how you are at identifying trees. It gives you a "tree description,
complete with photographs and text describing the characteristics of a particular
tree. Then, connect with the dichotomous key to try to identify the tree's
genus and species."
Many people are aware that despite its name, Douglas-fir is not a true fir. It's also not a pine, not a spruce and not a hemlock. Outside of the United States, it is often called Oregon pine, also a misnomer.
This hot summer weather can be hard on trees. About.com offers this tree advice:
Summer can be a stressful time for trees due to the heat and possible droughts. Make sure you are watching them diligently for signs of trouble. The information covers watering, fertilizing, pruning and planting.
Our other posts this week in tribute to trees include one on Portland's heritage and street trees and one on some of the weird and wonderful trees of the world.

WASHINGTON (AP) - A former District of Columbia official who pleaded guilty to accepting money in a bribery case involving the city's taxicab industry has been released after spending eight months in prison.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons' website says Ted Loza, the former chief of staff to Council member Jim Graham, was released Monday.
Loza pleaded guilty in February 2011 to two counts of accepting illegal gratuities and one count of making a false statement.
He acknowledged accepting a total of $1,500 in cash from a taxicab industry representative and not reporting the money on a financial disclosure statement.

Everyone has their favorite stuffing recipe for Thanksgiving, and this is one of mine. It's got not-too-sweet crumbles of cornbread, Italian sausage, and lots of fresh herbs – delicious!
This stuffing is delicious when cooked inside the bird, we like this simple, juicy roast turkey. If you plan to cook the stuffing separately, follow the instructions below, it can be cooked in the same oven or at the same temperature as your turkey.
Tip: For a stuffing with a bit of heat, use hot Italian sausage or even chorizo.
Yields 12 to 14 cups
3/4 lb. sweet Italian sausage (without casings), cut in small chunks
3 to 4 Tbs. rendered bacon fat or butter, if needed
2 cups chopped onion
1-1/2 cups finely chopped celery, including leaves
1-1/2 cups finely chopped bell pepper, preferably a mix of red and green
2 Tbs. finely chopped garlic
1 Tbs. chopped fresh thyme or 1 tsp. dried
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 recipe Basic Cornbread, crumbled
1 cup chopped scallion
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/4 cup snipped fresh chives
Freshly ground black pepper
Turkey stock or homemade or low-salt chicken broth as needed
In a large skillet, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add enough rendered bacon fat or butter to the pan to get about 5 Tbs. total fat. Add the onion, celery, peppers, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook briefly until the onion is softened. With a wooden spoon, scrape up any browned bits in the pan. Combine in a large bowl with the crumbled cornbread, scallions, parsley, chives, and pepper. Toss to combine.
If cooking in a turkey, put the stuffing in the bird just before roasting. Pack the stuffing loosely, leaving enough room to fit your whole extended hand into the bird's cavity. Cook the stuffing in the bird to 160º to 165ºF, checking with an instant-read thermometer. If the bird is done before the stuffing is, take the bird out of the oven, spoon the stuffing into a casserole dish, and continue to bake it while the turkey rests. If baking some or all of the stuffing in a casserole, pour a cup or two of stock over the stuffing to replace the juices the stuffing would have absorbed from the bird. Bake it covered until heated through, 45 minutes to 1 hour. For a crunchy top, uncover it for the last 15 minutes of baking.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - School leaders for the Catholic Diocese of Grand Rapids say they know West Michigan families have many education choices for their children and on Saturday, March 22, hope to show them the difference a Catholic education can make.
Interested families will have an opportunity to meet with parents, students and staff from all 16 Catholic schools in Kent County at during a two-hour event at the Cathedral Square Center.
Invitations were mailed to over 10,000 Kent County families whose oldest child was either age 2 or 3. School officials have billed the event as being a time for "Show and Tell," encouraging families to come tell them about their children and allow them the opportunity to show the benefits of Catholic schools from being Christ-centered to delivering robust academic programs.
There will be a chance for families to win prizes, including three $100 tuition vouchers and three LeapPad learning tablets. There will also be light refreshments and activities.
The diocese is in the midst of a three-year marketing campaign to bolster enrollment at all its schools.
The school system has 5,600 students. There are 82 parishes in the diocese that is comprised of 11 counties: Kent, Ionia, Lake, Mason, Mecosta, Montcalm, Muskegon, Newaygo, Oceana, Osceola, and Ottawa counties.
The event for Kent County families is scheduled from 10 to noon at the Cathedral Square Center, 360 Division Ave. SE.
For more information, visit the website or call 616-246-0590.

Depth on offense is going to be crucial fro St. Rose when it takes on Shabazz. It is going to need to move the ball early and often to try to get open looks from 3-point range to build up points against a Shabazz team that does not take possessions for granted. On the defensive side of things, St. Rose needs to have a body on Jone and O'Neil at all times otherwise the aggressive forwards will set up camp in the paint and never look back. While its bigs will be preoccupied inside the key, the guards of St. Rose are going to have to press Shabazz's shooters hard without giving them open lanes to attack the basket. Expect St. Rose to play a lot of help defense and try to pick up points in transition off of defensive boards.
Shabazz's offense has relied on Jones and O'Neil to put up points and create second chance opportunities on the boards all season and Friday night will be no different. While few teams have been able to slow down its game in the post, Shabazz is going to need their guards to step up much like they did against Haddon Township in the Group 1 final. Abduallah will run the point, which could open up room for Cliney to drive to the basket. Shabazz's quick paced offense often leaves Negron on the outside for 3-point chances and if she can execute like she did in the Group 1 final, the Essex County squad will have all cylinders ago. Shabazz has a bit of a height advantage down low and will need to prevent a St. Rose team that follows its shot from grabbing offensive boards.
SHABAZZ, 66-55. Although St. Rose has played with some of the top teams in the state, O'Neil and Jones present a dual threat that not many teams have to offer. Expect them to be strong on the glass all night, which will open things up on the outside for Shabazz's shooters.

GRAND HAVEN, MI — Three times Ryan Kupres was asked a series of questions by his attorney Wednesday, and each time he gave the same response while testifying in his own defense on first-degree child abuse allegations.
Did Kupres injure his 5-month-old daughter, Layla, in the spring of 2012? Did he do anything to cause trauma to her head? Did he do anything, whether accidental or not, to cause broken bones in both of her shoulders and legs?
"Absolutely not," Kupres said, speaking quietly but matter-of-factly from the Ottawa County Circuit Court witness stand on March 6. "I did not."
The 28-year-old father told jurors of a fever Layla developed around March 16, 2012. He first learned of it from the girl's mother, Jessica Jones. The two took Layla to an urgent care clinic a few days later as the fever hovered around 99 degrees. The girl had little appetite and had begun to vomit consistently.

At first they were told it was just a stomach ailment, a sickness, Ryan Kupres said. But the symptoms persisted and the parents were in and out of urgent care the week of March 25 and the Zeeland Community Hospital emergency room. Her ailments seemed to improve after receiving an IV of fluids, but Layla was still not herself, Kupres said.
On March 30, as the infant was in the Jenison home Ryan Kupres shared with his mother, Layla began to violently throw up. She seemed to be in pain, Kupres testified.
And then she fell limp in his arms, with his mother standing nearby.
"It sounded like she was trying to cry but couldn't catch her breath," he told jurors. "She just sort of flopped."
Jones, Layla's mother, returned from a stop at a local grocery store then and walked into a scene of chaos, Kupres recalled.
The two took Layla back to Zeeland Community Hospital that night. The next day, she was transferred to Helen DeVos Children's Hospital, where doctors later learned she was suffering from much more than any illness.
The girl had bleeding on her brain and around her spinal cord in the area of her ribcage. She had fractures in both shoulders and both of her legs at the knee. Her right tibia was broken near the ankle.
Sarah Brown, a pediatrician at Helen Devos Children's Hospital's Center for Child Protection, testified of body scans Layla underwent that provided doctors with further information on her injuries.
It appeared breaks in the girl's shoulders and legs were two or three weeks old at the time she was evaluated in Grand Rapids, Brown said. The brain injury appeared to have happened within two days.
The injuries "definitely" appeared to have been the result of "abusive trauma," Brown said, adding there were no reports of a car crash or other injury that could have caused the wounds.
Jurors learned that Layla was cared for by her mother, Jessica Jones, in days prior to her hospitalization, in addition to significant time she spent with Ryan Kupres' mother at the home the two shared in Jenison. She also was cared for by a daycare worker.
Jurors heard from each of those people this week during two days of testimony.
Ryan Kupres said he does not doubt that Brown's evaluation of Layla's injuries was correct, though he acknowledged that her determination of abusive trauma seemed to come because there were no other accidental explanations.
Kupres did not provide any other explanation himself.
Jurors will hear closings statements Thursday morning, March 7, from Assistant Ottawa County Prosecutor JoEllen Haas and Defense Attorney Philip Sielski.
Police have said Layla, now about 18 months old, has recovered from broken bones and the majority of her other injuries. The extent of any long-term impacts she will have from the brain trauma remains unknown. She was hospitalized for several weeks.
The girl sees her mother in supervised visits pending the outcome of a case in Ottawa County Family Court.
This is the second time Ryan Kupres has appeared in court on a charge of first-degree child abuse. He was previously convicted after pleading no contest to that charge involving injuries his son suffered in 2008. That son has since recovered.
Kupres has posted bond and was released pending the outcome of his trial this week.

Grace King is starting to like the feeling that comes with defeating top-ranked teams.
After knocking off top-seeded Brother Martin this week, The Fighting Irish rode that wave of confidence and dominated fourth-seeded Acadiana, 4-2, in the Division I Semifinals Saturday night at Joe Yenni Stadium.
Nestor Peralta led all-scorers with two goals and Hisham Abdelaziz added a goal and two assists as Grace King finds itself in the Division I Championships for the first time in school history.
"This is like a dream," said an ecstatic Abdelaziz after the game. "Who would have thought that Grace King could do this? But we did it, and we're the 'King' of all high schools!"
The game, however, was not without controversy.
In the 26th minute—with the Irish already on top 2-0— Acadiana's Dylan Castaned was assessed a red-card for a serious foul against a Grace King striker.
He was ejected from the game which meant the Rams had to play a man down for the remainder of the contest.
In the 38th minute Abdelaziz added Grace King's third goal of the half chipping the ball in past Rams' keeper Ross Pelleriao.
Grace King had a 3-0 lead at intermission and didn't show any effects of the grueling overtime victory it played against Brother Martin just three days earlier.
"We were so sore after the (Brother Martin) game, but we worked the players up and did some light conditioning and their muscles recuperated," Grace King Coach Raul Hernandez said. "Look at the crowd tonight it's amazing. They supported us from start to finish and I'm very happy and thrilled right now."
Acadiana's Kade Kling and Dayton Prejean each scored a goal for the Rams in the final ten minutes of the game, but it had already been decided.
Acadiana Coach Jan Richard was none too happy with the first-half red card and let the officials know about it all game. He was nearly ejected twice for screaming at the officials.
"We had this referee twice in the playoffs and he gave us red cards in both those games," said Richard, who was infuriated on the sideline the entire second-half. "The kid (for Grace King) was apparently injured for life but came back the next play so that kind of speaks volumes.
"It's sad because I thought (the officials) were poor all the way around and truthfully, being down a man … I thought we dominated the second-half of the game."
Nevertheless, the true dominating factor was Peralta who has led Grace King all season long and the senior didn't let up his focus one bit even after his school's historic victory.
"We haven't won anything yet so we need to concentrate on that final game and work hard in practice all this week," he said. "The Rams were a tough team and they were really physical. They came out here and played hard, but fortunately we were the better team tonight."
Andres Calderon scored Grace King's second goal in the 14th minute of the game and Brayan Escobar registered two assists in the win.
Grace King goes into the Division I finals to face second-seeded St. Paul's where it will undoubtedly, once again, be the underdog.
"Teams thought because we were an eighth-seed they could take us out easily," Abdelaziz said. "But for us this was a once in a lifetime (chance) and it doesn't come around twice so we had to do it."
Abdelaziz, laughing incessantly after the game, concluded: "This is the first time in any sport that Grace King has gone to the finals of anything so this is kind of like World Cup Soccer for us and it means a lot."

Italian cyclist Ivan Basso may be returning to the Tour de France for the 2010 season. He will decide next month with his team, Liquigas, if he will be riding in the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France, or both. Basso is no stranger when it comes to grand tours, as he won the 2006 Giro d'Italia, and placed second behind Lance Armstrong at the 2005 Tour de France. "When I saw the Tour route [presented] I said, 'very cool' to myself. The Tour is the Tour. I like it all: the pavé, climbs, descents. Like the Giro, when you love something, you love all parts of it," says Basso. "The Giro, Tour and Vuelta give me the strongest feelings. The Giro because I am Italian, I have already won it, and I want to win it again. The Tour because it has given me the biggest emotions, to finish behind Armstrong was like a victory in itself," he adds. Only time will tell what he will do, check back for updates.

This would solidify both the lineup and the rotation and the Indians would only have to spend another $25 million for the both of them. What do you think? – Scott Jaeckel, Cleveland.
Hey, Scott: Remember, it takes two to tango. It's getting late in the off-season, but I'm not sure Cruz and Jimenez are desperate enough to sign one-year deals. I don't think the Indians were ever interested in Cruz – they wouldn't have signed David Murphy if they were – and the chances of re-signing Jimenez are fading.
They would also lose their No.1 pick in the June draft if they signed Cruz.
Hey, Hoynsie: Why no Fan Fest interview with one of the Dolans? – Chris Wallace, Cleveland.
Hey, Chris: Good question. I'm sure we'll hear from Paul Dolan in spring training.
Hey, Hoynsie: Are the Indians interested in Korean right-hander Suk-Min Yoon? Could he be a cheap option for them? – Peter Bang, Wickliffe.
Hey, Peter: Cheap and Scott Boras don't go together. Boras is Yoon's agent. The Indians checked Yoon out early in the off-season, but the asking price was too high. If he doesn't get a big-league job, he can return to Korea or go to Japan for big bucks.
Hey, Hoynsie: The Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame is obviously such an outstanding honor for all of the greats from seasons past. With the organization being in existence for over 100 years, many superstar-caliber players have graced our presence over the decades. All of which have an indelible mark and a lasting influence on the history of the club. There are many deserving individuals who have been inducted.
With that being said, I see one glaring absence. Love him or hate him, Albert Belle was the heart and soul of those tremendous lineups of the mid-'90's. He hit for average, he hit for power, and was a BIG TIME run producer. In addition, he was one of the elite hitters in all of Major League Baseball, and one of the most feared. We all know he was never going to win a Gold Glove Award out there for his work in left field. At the very best, he was an average left fielder. But as a hitter, he was stellar.
No one in the Indians' organization is going to come out and say it, but obviously the reason he hasn't been inducted yet is because of all the issues from his past involving his volatile personality. But in my opinion, even that shouldn't keep him out forever. I feel that there should eventually be a point in time where the Cleveland Indians let bygones be bygones and recognize what an amazing talent they once had.
I absolutely do not want to call the Cleveland Indians Hall of Fame a joke without Albert Belle in it. Many tribe greats have been inducted, and well deserve it. But I will say that as each year passes without him being inducted, I just view it less and less with 100 percent legitimacy. I ask myself how can the organization continue to keep their best all-around hitter from that entire era on the outside looking in?
I think that he might eventually be inducted, but it is still going to be some time before it actually happens. I respect your opinion and would love to know whether you agree or disagree. -- Joshua V. Ginley, Euclid.
Hey, Joshua: I agree that Belle was one of the best hitters to ever wear an Indians uniform and that he belongs in their Hall of Fame. Like you, I believe he'll eventually get in. But the selection is not decided by a straight vote. The organization has a big say in who gets in and some discord, obviously, still exists with Belle.
I know the organization grew weary of Belle criticizing them after he retired. They reached out to him a couple of years ago. Fences were mended, but apparently not all of them.
Got a question for Hey, Hoynsie? Send it in here.

Doughty "fine" following pre-game cut
Drew Doughty is "fine" after suffering a cut on his toe while he was getting dressed prior to Monday's 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins. He was late joining the Kings on the ice during warm-ups.
Though he received several stitches, it wasn't a "bad cut," per Doughty. "No, I was fine," he said when asked if it affected his performance.
Doughty, on getting cut prior to the game:
I got a cut and had to clean it up. [Reporter: Where did you get cut?] On my foot. [Reporter: Was it a freak accident?] Yeah, it was just like I got cut with my skate tying it up or whatever. Yeah I just cut myself in the dressing room before the game. [Reporter: What happened?] Just tying my skate, cut myself, had to get some stitches and that was it. [Reporter: How many stitches?] Two, three – it wasn't bad. It sucked I wasn't out there for warm up.

For the first time, coach Frank Tavani will wrap the 15 practices allowed by the NCAA around the school's spring break -- five practices from today to March 21, then nine more from April 2 to April 19 before the spring game on April 20.
"We've talked to a lot of schools that have done it that way," Tavani said. "The first two practices have to be helmet only and then we have a high school coaches' clinic Saturday. Then, next Thursday we'll run a full 80-90 play scrimmage on the last practice before spring break."
Tavani said the advent of a scholarship class of freshmen coming in the fall won't change the approach to spring ball.
"Not at all," he said. "We have to be prepared to win with who's here now. We may get some help from the incoming freshmen but you can never depend on that -- those things, like (wide receiver) Jamel Smith being the Patriot League Rookie of the Year last season, are pleasant surprises."
Lafayette could use more pleasant surprises entering 2013 after three straight losing seasons, including a 5-6 mark last fall. But Tavani said the team's depth has recovered from two small recruiting classes (graduating classes of 2011 and 2012).
"We need to have solid numbers and if you look at our depth chart we're at 72 and that's a strong number," Tavani said. "We're bringing in more (freshmen) than we graduated. There were times at the end of last season where we had 76 or 78 players dressed for practice. Numbers are important."
One player the Leopards will be without for the spring -- and very likely for the season -- is offensive tackle Andrew Anastor, who has torn a labrum in his hip after recovering from knee surgery.
"Andrew's still on the roster and he could be back in shape by midseason, but we're anticipating he'll be out," said Tavani, who said it was unlikely, for academic and post-college reasons, that Anastor would use his unused eligibility.
Even without Anastor, the offense entering the spring will be a fairly veteran unit. Quarterback Zach Zweizig, who will be a junior in the fall, started five games last season, and near the end of the 2012 campaign there was not a senior starting on offense.
"We only have two quarterbacks this spring (sophomore-to-be Andrew Dzurik is the other) and Zach is raring to go; he looks great," Tavani said. "Andrew learns everything we tell him and he is going to get a huge amount of reps this spring. He needs to establish himself firmly as the second quarterback."
Tavani said the offensive focus in the spring will be to keep things simple.
"We have a playbook as thick as a (phone book)," Tavani said. "We (coaches) know it all, but it's not how much we know, it's how much they (players) know. We're going to simplify it and work on things like improving technique. That's something the kids need to be better at, but you don't master that overnight. There's a real emphasis on being less complex and getting good at technique."
Defensively, the Leopards will be replacing three of their four defensive linemen and both cornerbacks. Tavani said he wants to see more fire from his front four.
"We need to be a lot more aggressive on our defensive line," Tavani said. "(Senior tackle) Darius Glover needs to step up and we have a sophomore from Florida, Steve Mercado, in there now (at the other tackle). We need some leadership there and I'll be following that closely."
Overall, Tavani said he is pleased with the team's conditioning and strength.
"Our number one goal is to be stronger and there's been a lot of improvement on strength," he said. "We moved our (voluntary winter) conditioning workouts to 6 a.m. and had them all outdoors regardless of the weather; we called them 'wtas' -- winning team activities. They help build mental toughness."
Tavani said next week's scrimmage will be focused on physically getting the job done.
"We need to find out who can block and tackle and make plays," Tavani said. "We have a lot of freshmen and sophomores and even some juniors trying to earn a spot; we need to make a determination who they are and how they can help. The scrimmage will be as basic as it gets. We want to see kids play football and make plays."
The Leopards open their 2013 campaign Sept. 7 at home against Sacred Heart.

Cool enough.
But it was what the invitation didn't say that was the real news. This was not just any old sustainably built playground, but the opening structure in what developers conceive as Newport's first "green" village.
"I think it says a lot about the developer that the first thing they put in is a playground," says Pat O'Connor, president of the Oregon Coast Community College, which sits adjacent to the proposed development. "People in Newport are already using the park. The developers are truly visionary."
That would be Bonnie Serkin and Will Emery, who started to noodle the idea for the Wilder development six or so years ago. That was when the city approached them to ask if they might consider letting it annex a portion of their certified sustainable forestland in the South Beach community. The couple, who own Landwaves Inc. development company, agreed -- and things took off from there.
The Oregon Coast Community College bought 25 acres and built its new facility in the heart of the woods with a long-distance view of the ocean. Meanwhile, Serkin and Emery took off on a sailing trip around the Canadian Maritimes, where they found themselves in villages where people chatted over long lunches in pubs and whiled away afternoons at the library. That spirit of gathering, they decided, was what they wanted for Wilder.
"The whole idea behind Wilder is gathering and community," Serkin says. "The whole idea of providing places for people, where they don't have to go be consumers to get together with people. They can walk in the woods or get together for coffee. That's why we were thrilled to start with a park. It symbolizes that it really will be a village at some point."
There will be cottages and apartments, single-family dwellings and four-square "flex" houses that can house one family or two. They envision a village center with retail and office space, a pub, general store and maybe even a wellness center and day care. And all of it will be walkable and bikeable, and most importantly, built as sustainably as they can."Sustainable is smart," Serkin says. "It's what the future is going to be. It's the best way to use resources. If you take pride in anything you do, you want to do it the right way, and being gentle on the earth is the way we do things."
There is a third component to Wilder that may be even more unexpected than this village in the woods. Developers say homes will be "obtainable," that is, priced around $200,000.
"We've been in Newport long enough that we knew all that was being built were second homes at price levels people couldn't afford," Serkin says. "We had no interest in building those. The affordability factor was hugely important."
Three contractors have signed on to build in the development. Each agreed to build according to Gold level certification standards by LEED or Earth Advantage. They'll use fiber cement instead of wood, and houses will be super energy efficient, solar-panel ready and small -- about 1,100 square feet -- by today's standards.
"Who needs all that square footage?" Serkin says. "The houses will have smaller footprints because that is a really sustainable way to build, and they're easier to heat."
Don Huster is set to begin construction on the first cottage next month. He'll use a panelized system of recycled steel from Miranda Homes for the framework, interior and exterior walls, roof trusses and floor joists.
"According to Earth Advantage energy-use modeling, these homes are designed to require 57 percent less energy to heat than the same home built to today's building code," Huster says. "We will also use materials such as formaldehyde-free flooring and no-VOC paints for healthy indoor air quality."
Markus Horning and his wife, Lisa Mulcahy, are hoping to become the first residents of Wilder by fall. They've been in Newport since 2006 and say finding homes that are affordable and not too large is difficult. The cottages in Wilder answer both those issues and more, Horning says.
"It's hard to weigh which is more important: the affordability, the green factor, the location and it's new. When you get into a new community as it is being developed, you have an ability to help shape it. We're excited about it."

The owners of more than 40 acres near Interstate 26 have agreed to be annexed into Summerville at the request of town officials.
These aren't just any acres. They lie between Maple Street off of U.S. Highway 78 and the proposed Sheep Island Road and I-26 interchange, along the route where the town plans to run an extension road from the interchange to the downtown.
That road is envisioned as the artery for the town's proposed Nexton community, one of the chief want-to-haves for its growth. The community is designed as a residential-commercial, town center-style development that would bridge today's downtown with the massive Nexton and Carnes Crossroads developments underway to the north of town across the interstate.
In history-rich Summerville, the properties have a lore of their own. They belong to members of the prominent Salisbury family that owned the Salisbury Brick Company, one of the town's first dairies, a lumber yard and even an oil well. The family acquired the Pine Forest Inn, maybe the most renowned of resort destinations in a time when the pine air in Summerville was a sought-after health retreat.
The land was sought in 2002 for "Project Blue Bell," when state and local economic development officials competed with Savannah and Jacksonville to lure a $754 million DaimlerChrysler plant. The plant was never built.
The land is largely farmland and the owners have requested to keep that zoning designation for now, said John Bell, one of the owners. They agreed to annex into the town, he said, because the move harkens to the days when people in Summerville naturally helped each other.
"If (the town) needs the land to carry this plan through, with the road and to continue development, we don't mind assisting them," Bell said. As for that growth, he said, they will deal with it when the time comes.
The annexations have been recommended for approval by the town planning commission. Town Council's planning committee will consider the recommendation at 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Town Hall complex at 200 S. Main St.
"It's a really, really significant contribution to the town," Mayor Bill Collins said. "It benefits us now and it benefits us in the future."

They might have lost the Regionals competition but "Glee's" Dalton Academy Warblers earned a place in the hearts of fans.
The Warblers are the rival glee club to WMHS's New Directions.
Dalton Academy is also where Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) transferred to in the "Furt" episode which aired earlier this season.
"It's really cool. The excitement of it all is awesome," said Warbler Jon Hall.
"I think people like it because it's a combination of great producers and actors. Everyone is fun on set. It's a great environment."
Hall, who started his career on "Glee" as a background vocalist for New Directions, said he has been singing since fourth or fifth grade.
"My passion has always been music. It's something I can always carry with me," he said.
"In college I got a full ride scholarship. I was a music major but football was my identity throughout," Hall added. "I planned to go to the NFL and I was talking to different teams but I tore my meniscus. I decided not to pursue football, there are too many injuries."
Hall admits he "walked into" his role on "Glee" and wasn't familiar with the show until he joined the cast.
"I'm learning a lot," Hall said of his experience. "Ryan Murphy is fun to work with."
"I'm happiest with the producers and the actors. Everyone is really cool and accepting."
"'Teenage Dream' was the first song I performed on the show. Only a few of us are still around from the original group."
"'Raise Your Glass' was my favorite. That song is sick," he adds.
Hall isn't the only Warbler in his family. His younger brother, Matt, is also involved with the show.
"It's great working with him. He's a good kid," Hall said. "He does a good job at being a Warbler. He's still in high school so the girls are swooning over him."
In addition to his close relationship with his brother, Hall says he's probably closest with Brock Baker and Luke Edgemon.
"Every single guy in the Warblers can sing their face off. If the fans could hear how great they are, they would go nuts."
"Darren's my boy," Hall said of "Glee" heartthrob Darren Criss who plays Blaine Anderson. "He's a really cool, down to earth dude. He's a great, great musician."
When he's not working on "Glee", Hall is working on solo projects.
"I'm striving to be a musician," he said. "I have my own studio so I record there or at Cloud 19 Studios."
"I record everything part by part," Hall said of his a capella projects. "I have to make sure it's perfect or it won't sound good."
"I release a song every Monday on Twitter but they usually go everywhere on the internet. People enjoy listening to the music."
Last week Hall released a cover of Katy Perry's 'Firework' which he collaborated on with Luke Edgemon.
Today he released a mash-up of Bruno Mars's "Just The Way You Are" and Mumford and Sons' "Little Lion Man" featuring Dominic Barnes.
"I asked Dom because he has a great voice. I'm planning on collaborating with all the Warblers. I chose these songs because I usually do Top 20 songs," he said.
"I love hip-hop, dance, pop, and R&B," Hall said. "I love Ne-Yo's writing style."
"It's been really cool. It's always a blessing to use my voice and know it's affecting people," Hall said of fan support. "The Warblers have become a phenomenon. I never expected it to get so big."
Although there's been no official news that the Warblers will perform at WMHS's prom, Hall said which New Directions member he would want to escort to the event.
"Naya Rivera's character (Santana Lopez) is a lesbian now so I can't take her," he prefaced. "I think I would have a good time with Heather (Morris, who plays Brittany Pierce). I think it would be fun dancing with her."
As for the future of the Warblers?
"I don't know what's happening," Hall said. "Stay tuned."
Jon Hall can be found on Twitter at @jonhall28. He encourages fans and anyone interested in Cloud 19 to contact him.

Despite quarterback Matt Misley's 13-yard TD run and David Lopez's two field goals, Wagner College trails Merrimack, 28-13, at halftime of the non-conference encounter Friday night under the lights at Hameline Field on Grymes Hill.
It's the first night game for the Seahawks playing under a permanent stadium lighting system. Other night games have been held using temporary lights.
Wagner, the defending NEC champion, opened the season with a win against Georgetown last week. This is Merrimack's opening game.
