Hey all,
I have been extremely busy and almost missed these most wonderful
perennials in my garden. I have to say something about them because if you
don't have them, you are really missing out!
I have two different kinds of toad lilies (scientific name Tricyrtis X
hybrids), one is white with dark purple splotches. One is white with light
purple splotches. I just noticed them walking by the garden the other
night and was stunned. They look like orchids!!!!
Get these. You will love these fall blooming wonders.

This Administrative Core supports a program project (POI) on health and economic status in older populations. The POI includes four component research project proposals that use parallel methods and overiapping data sources to obtain insights into various aspects of the overall theme. The Administrative Core is intended to provide the project leaders and their colleagues with an intellectually stimulating, productive environment for the conduct of their scientific work. It provides administrative and data support for the projects that allows cross-project efficiencies and helps researchers focus on science. It facilitates formal and informal communication among projects, to ensure that opportunities for collaboration and synergies that arise during the course of the work are fully exploited. It promotes and assists in the dissemination of research results through journal submissions, presentations to professional meetings, briefings or legislative testimony, and policy-oriented papers and summaries. It supports contacts and interactions with researchers at other institutions, NIA, and the policy community. It will provide support in accessing data and help with data protection plans.
This Administrative Core provides administrative and data support to researchers working on interrelated projects on health and economic status in older populations. It supports communications among these and other researchers in the health field, helps them convey their findings to policymakers and the public, and aids in realizing efficiencies across projects.

Photo of the Week: The Power of Hard Work
August 30, 2013
In honor of Labor Day, we salute workers across the world.
At the CAPROCAFIM cooperative in western Honduras, a worker inspects cocoa seedlings. In the United States, many people will enjoy a day off on Monday to celebrate Labor Day, a recognition of the contributions of workers here. In that same spirit, TechnoServe honors the men and women in developing countries who work hard every day to earn a living.
TechnoServe's work is rooted in the idea that given the opportunity, hardworking men and women in even the poorest places can generate income, jobs and wealth for their families and communities. On Labor Day, we salute this spirit of hard work – and the promise it holds for a better future for people facing poverty.

Red Dad, Blue Son
My dad is conservative. I'm not. For our relationship to survive, we had to stop talking politics.
And that's when my dad started talking about the Tea Party.
Somewhere along the way, my dad had come to believe that trying to sell me on his conservative politics was the equivalent of bonding. His opining, however, has always had the same effect on me: My jaw clenches, my back stiffens, and the charge of political discord transforms the most beautiful moon on the East Coast into a naked lightbulb hanging in an interrogation room. Suddenly, I'm trapped with a right-wing pundit who happens to be my dad.
Ever since George W. Bush beat Al Gore in 2000, the chronic red-blue conflict in America hasn't just been a spectacle on cable news; it's invaded our family's phone calls, vacations, e-mails, text messages, Facebook posts. It nearly destroyed my relationship with my own father.
Our father-son differences date back to high school, when my dad, an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard, personally wrote the essay for my application to a military academy, which I passionately opposed with a declaration that I was a "nonconformist" meant for unconventional pursuits (i.e., tramping around like Jack Kerouac). But the arguments we'd had about politics in recent years had been of a different intensity altogether.
During phone calls and visits home, the day's news headlines were like a background hum growing louder and louder, overwhelming us. It would start innocently enough: My dad would coyly ask what I thought of, say, the latest skirmish over gay marriage. "It's certainly a complicated issue," I'd say, as if trying to tiptoe past a sleeping dragon.
Inside, however, I was roiling, considering some close friends who were gay and in committed relationships. Unable to resist, I'd throw out a line to bait him: Hey, isn't tolerance an option?
"I'm not a live-and-let-live guy," my dad would assert gruffly, now freed to unleash his own opinions. "I'm live-and-let-live within a certain set of moral values!"
Global warming, immigration, Iraq, Nancy Pelosi—it didn't matter the subject: Before long, we were both on our soapboxes, red-faced and yelling. Hang ups were frequent. During weekend get-togethers, the simple act of rustling a newspaper to the op-ed page or clicking my tongue at Fox News was enough to send my dad skulking out of the room like a wounded animal. I'd sit on the couch, depressed and confused. My beleaguered mom was left to mediate, trying to cool everybody down so we could at least have dinner together.
Thanks! You're on our list.
And your life's about to get more interesting.

A Cab to Corpus
... back down on departure day.
We have a shared bathroom in Fellows Attic, but since none of the kids had arrived yet I was on my own. I took a nice cold shower and washed off two days' worth of fatigue and sweat and dirt, then got dressed up for the admin dinner. Emma texted me as I was about to leave to say that there was a problem with Tom's room, so she was helping him with his stuff and that they would be late, so I headed to the ...
... off. I've decided to go see Wicked at the Apollo Victoria at 2:30. I'm thinking of trying to go to Westminster Abbey before the show, but that depends on what time I can get in. The rest of shift was very chill, but fun. Emma, Greg, and I chatted for most of the afternoon. Greg has worked at Corpus a lot, so he told us stories of how easy it is over there because nothing ever happens. Then we were joined by Larry and the ADs for general ...
When all else fails, become a London Tube driver
... while I appreciate the effort, it is just too awful. I reheated some of my chicken fajitas and then ate my ice cream, and then headed to my first a cappella meeting. I only had seven kids show up, but a few more were at a performance of Romeo and Juliet for their classes. So I just talked about my plan for the club and played them videos of the songs so they could get an idea of how they'll sound, then got their emails and sent ...
Death by Slip n Slide, or The Full Moon
... and I walked to Morton's to get better sandwiches than M&S or Tesco, and then popped in to Robert Dyas to buy fans for our rooms. There is a heat wave descending over Britain at the moment. Today temps reach 27 degrees Celsius (roughly 88F) and tomorrow they are supposed to reach 30C (roughly 95F), which is unheard of over here. Fans have become a hot commodity (haha, pun!) so we wanted to get ours now in case the town sells out like two years ...

10 Ways Enterprises Can Best Prepare for DDoS Attacks
10 Ways Enterprises Can Best Prepare for DDoS Attacksby Chris Preimesberger
Stay InformedWhile it may seem obvious, IT decision-makers must continually absorb as much knowledge as possible. A global survey by BT of IT decision-makers in large organizations found that organizations tend to review their DDoS response plan on average every 16 months, but any IT security expert will tell you that threats are evolving far more rapidly than that. Companies must understand who is behind today's attacks, their latest tactics, what industries are most vulnerable, what impact it could have on the business and so on.
Practice Executive EducationIT security professionals should incorporate threat awareness and education into their long-term strategy with executives. Cyber-criminals are constantly evolving and adapting their tactics, and organizations need to be sure that their prediction and protection matches pace. Read blogs, follow news stories and contribute to the conversation; then disseminate key information throughout the organization to maintain executive buy-in. BT's research shows that only 31 percent of CEOs have an in-depth understanding of what a DDoS attack actually entails.
Corporate Social Responsibility Also Can Cause ThreatsBT's survey showed that the ongoing high-profile threat of DDoS from so-called "hacktivists" has resulted in 50 percent of IT decision-makers globally changing their organization's approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR). Companies should monitor social media and take note of inflammatory postings about their CSR efforts; stay informed of controversial political or social injustice overtones; be aware of attacks on competitors or partners in a similar vein; and don't ignore threats of attacks as part of blackmail or extortion.
Understand the Financial ImpactDowntime can cause a big impact on finances, as well. BT's survey shows that, on average, approximately $48,000 was lost as a result of a single DDoS attack, and most organizations that were targeted were hit at least twice in the same year. IT decision-makers should partner with their companies CFOs to analyze the financial impact of slow network performance or downtime on the business. How much revenue could be lost? What is the cost to get up and running again? Could there be a material impact on the brand?
Create Organization-Wide Response PlansOrganizations are reviewing their IT security measures and defenses every 14 months, on average. When doing these reviews, companies must work with all areas of their organizations to update plans and mitigate attacks. From the boardroom to the server room, there are stakeholders who need to be aware of the response plans and understand the impact on their area of the business.
Identify and Reinforce VulnerabilitiesBT research shows that 30 percent of IT decision-makers believe that their organization's main vulnerability to DDoS attacks is from the company Website. Similarly, 22 percent believe that the company intranet is their main vulnerability, while only 10 percent believe this lies with the email server. Organizations need to evaluate their network and endpoint security to identify critical vulnerabilities and then dedicate resources to closing those gaps. Implement firewalls, load balancers and intrusion prevention and detection devices to start, and find specialized DDoS protection solutions from established players in the industry if needed.
Find the SourceThe BT research also shows that only 49 percent of IT decision-makers are able to identify the source of a DDoS attack on their organization. If a company is unable to identify the source, it is extremely difficult to plan strategies for recovery. In order to prevent this, organizations need to know their vulnerabilities and ensure they are able to safely defend any concerted attacks on these areas. Ensuring there is a robust and continuously viewed defense and mitigation system in place is a key part of business continuity and disaster recovery strategies.
Leverage External SpecialistsBecause DDoS attacks can be extremely large, requiring dedicated networks and massive amounts of time and effort to mitigate, IT leaders should research the option of outsourcing DDoS protection to a specialist provider with additional bandwidth and expertise. Forty-nine percent of IT decision-makers surveyed by BT say that they need outside assistance to help them protect their IT estate against DDoS attacks.
Integrate Early Threat DetectionIdentifying attacks early on is critical for prevention. IT decision-makers should be largely familiar with their organizations' in-bound traffic profile and should be alert to any sudden or unexpected changes. Having the appropriate detection and mitigation capability in place to help visualize this can be a huge help to security analysts as big influxes of data will appear as a "spike" on-screen and immediately be flagged.
Establish Contingency PlansOrganizations must have adequate contingency plans in place, especially if they rely on an online presence or connectivity for operations. BT research shows that, on average, it took organizations 12 hours to fully recover following their most significant DDoS attackmore than a full working day. In industries such as financial services, losing an entire day's trading from a downed Website would cause significant financial damage. Similarly, service-based companies need to also consider reputational damage, such as if a bank's customers were unable to access funds for an entire working day.
As evidenced in the news every so often, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) threats to Websites are becoming increasingly pervasive—and effective—at subverting even the best-planned defenses by enterprises and other organizations. For the record, a DDoS attack is an attempt to make a personal computer, server or other network resource unavailable to its intended users, thus breaking up any type of commerce or other transaction. They generally consist of efforts to temporarily or indefinitely interrupt or suspend services of a host connected to the Internet. Attackers routinely target large organizations with sophisticated tools that can quickly overwhelm defenses and compromise systems—directly affecting productivity, customer satisfaction and profitability. With DDoS attacks posing such a formidable threat, it's not surprising that many organizations lack sufficient resources and planning to counteract them. This slide show, developed with eWEEK reporting and industry research from BT Americas, offers 10 tips on how organizations can better prepare for DDoS attacks.

Demand for Cyber-Insurance Rises, but Insurers Worry
"The market needs objective assessments and objective understandings of the risk," Ira Scharf, general manager of worldwide cyber-insurance for BitSight, told eWEEK. "Most of the current assessments are being done by surveys and manual processes." Other technology startups seek to demonstrate to firms and insurers where a breach could do the greatest damage. PivotPoint, for example, looks at a company's business—the assets on which it relies and its security posture—and runs hundreds of thousands of automated simulations to determine the dollar value that is at risk from a breach. "The insurance industry loves to say there is not enough data," said CEO Waits. "I don't think that is true." Part of the problem, however, is that most insurance models treat attacks like random events. Many insurance firms look at breach insurance in the same way as accounting for the risk of a hurricane. Instead, they need to account for the adversary behind the attack. Even the most secure business can be breached. While better preparation will generally minimize the impact of a random disaster, if a company is targeted, it may not matter how well they are prepared.The insurance market is still in its infancy, and it will take years for the industry to get a good handle on the problems of dealing with an intelligent attacker, he said. "We are still years behind the bad guys," Waits said. The Internet was never designed to be secure; it was designed to be a free and open platform." Until companies are able to manage their risk better and insurance firms can more accurately gauge risk, businesses will have to account for uncertainty and the insurance market will have to continue pricing such uncertainty into its premiums.
"If you are going to model cyber-risk on anything, you have to model it based on major cyber-events that have happened in the world," Waits said. "This is a social science. It is not about hurricanes—it is about what people do when they do bad things."

Wikipedia Management for Dummies
While reddit and Wikipedia are probably two of the most influential and powerful media platforms online today, they're also the most intimidating because so many of us in the PR and marketing world have been not only burned but sent home tarred and feathers, never to go anywhere close to either of these sites ever again. My best advice is: don't be shady. Don't do it.

Sometimes you may feel alone
Well your laying in bed at night
Or maybe when your parents go out for the night
But you don't know loneliness
No idea what it truely means to be lonely
When standing in a crowd
At the dinner table with your family
Sitting with your friends
When you can honestly say
That through those things
You feel like the only person on this planet
You feel invisible
Like if you just stood up and left
No one would even notice
Then you can say you truely know loneliness
I know loneliness
I have stood up and left
I left a long time ago
No one has noticed
I have been forgotten
Or maybe I was never known in the first place
I am lost now
I don't know where I am
Whether I was forgotten or never known
Where I am doesn't matter
All these things mean nothing
And never will
Because I am alone
And forever will be

Im a 24 yr old healthy laid back kind of person, never any serious health concern until a bout of strep throat which was dutifully cured within a couple of days. I should also mention i hardly if ever stress...until now. Several days after my strep I reached such a high level of stress with my fiance that for the first time ever I broke out into hives on my hands and feet. Weird I thought but I'd get over it I just needed to relax. Not one day later my ankle began to feel tender and by that night had swollen to astronomical size. Not knowing what was the cause the doctor took the blood test and noticed my uric acid levels were on the high side of normal, and prescribed me for it. I should also mention my diet is on the average with the consumption of foods never a majority of one or the other. Im just glad that I can reason this out and associate it with stress, cause no other factors were seeming viable. lets just say Im relieved to have found this post.

REBECCA CARMODY (PRESENTER): Perth has long been described as a boring place to live and visit. While it's not a view shared by everyone, last year the Government created the committee for Perth, to come up with ways to shake the dullsville tag. Impatient for change, Perth's arts community with the backing of big business, have flown in world renowned planner, Charles Landry, for his expert advice. Leonie Harris has the story.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): There are no signs everywhere; don't do this, don't do that, no access, no entry, no smoking, no parking, no standing, no stopping.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): If first impressions count .. it seems the West Australian capital leaves much to be desired.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): We've got stuff that's going to hang around in its ugliness for 50 years and every time we see it it will pin prick us, the ugliness will pin prick into our brain.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): Charles Landry is a world renowned planner and he's in Perth with an ambitious brief. Compile a report on the city's failings and then provide solutions, 10 big ideas and 100 smaller ones that can be implemented in one-thousand days.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): Obviously we know you've got a brilliant setting in terms of nature, water and the dunes and the beaches and so on, the river so I think it's really about making the city heart, as one starting point, to make that a place which feels as welcoming as I know Perth people are.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): Over the years Charles Landry has helped revitalise what are already regarded as beautiful cities from Helsinki to Barcelona, Saint Petersburg to Amsterdam. Perth could present his biggest challenge.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): This is where you see all the problems of Perth in one and many people have talked about this for years you know there's no engagement with the river really, hardly any. And as we look towards the convention centre there's a spaghetti of roads. I mean we're standing here, is it a lovely or is it a horrible feeling, you tell me? The city sometimes feels as if it's been constructed through roads and then we'll have some mediocre buildings in between.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): He says he main problem facing Perth is its overall atmosphere. Put simply, the city lacks imagination. This will be a key theme in his final report. And the one structure that lacks more imagination than any other is the Convention Centre.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): Normally you'd never put a convention centre bang in the centre of a city because convention centres are rarely used I mean it would be ok if it was in a wasteland but this is the heart of a great Australian city called Perth.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): The solution for the Convention Centre: lease the building which he calls 'mean spirited' to a university.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): Obviously a big project would be to have many more students in town to inhabit the city, those are types of big projects.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): Another big idea would involve Perth's road system, roads that separate the city from the river, and separate Perth from Kings Park. His suggestion is to create a platform over the Freeway.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): Is there a way that it can be changed now that it's been built this way?
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): Well, everywhere in the world people are retro-fitting car driven cities. It's really just shifting priorities, asking always the question, what makes a livable place? And then asking the question, how do cars fit in? Rather than the other way around.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): On a smaller scale Mr Landry has no shortage of ideas. For starters, Perth should change its signage to make visitors feel welcome.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): Here it feels slightly punitive. Private parking, offenders will be prosecuted. How about please don't park here. It's a completely different message.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): And blank walls should be banned. The Central Law Courts a prime example of Perth's boring architecture.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): This is the court building that says you are guilty before you've been proved innocent. It's really a disaster.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): And Charles Landry's message isn't just for big business and the Government but for the entire community. New York for example has more than 3000 foundations focused on the city's future funding art galleries, parks, libraries and universities. Meanwhile Perth, which has more millionaires per capita than any other Australian capital, has the lowest percentage of giving. Philanthropy it seems is almost non-existent.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): Being generous as a city and the people within it being generous is an absolute key sign of a city that's maturing. It's often older cities that have more foundations and often there's more corporate responsibility and so on and that's what often makes a difference between an ordinary project and extraordinary project.
LEONIE HARRIS (REPORTER): He suggests the economic boom is the time to start making changes and he says it's time Perth decides if it wants to be known internationally as a quarry, or as a vibrant, imaginative metropolis.
CHARLES LANDRY (CULTURAL PLANNER): The problem with Perth is that it lacks a sense of urgency. This is your moment really. This is seize the moment time. It would be very unwise if you did not leave a legacy for future generations. This is the time to really be courageous, bold, not in a trivial way, really think hard, but do some things that are quite difficult really to do.

I'm not the intimidated type so a strong personality or a woman's height is not an issue to me since I was raised by strong women and I've dated short and tall women. I have 2 tattoes that sum me up, one of a Pharoah holding up a pyramid representing the fact that I knew at a young age I had a way carrying alot and making a difference in people's lives. The other is the word badboy on my back because even though I'm good hearted i won't be played. Also because I'll just simply say I'm bed agenda oriented. Lol. I'm basically a very straight forward person. If you're curious about anything else just ask.

> So what's your standard amount per plant, and how many customers?
For us, for the most part, that's easy. The min order per plant from the
first company we bought from was 16 - and that included a surcharge for
splitting a 32 flat. So 16 it was. The next year we added another
company. Their min was 25. So instead of choosing how many to order, our
decision was based on whether we thought we could sell 16 or 25 of them.
We also knew our customer base a little bit. We had conducted sales of
our own plants and some donated by 2 local nurseries, so we had a feel
for what they might like (or what we planned to teach them to like). The
number of customers didn't matter that much since our budget was low to
start with - that first year we sold out of almost everything during our
first sale and had to buy more.
But that's a big difference between retail and mailorder. When it's
gone, it is simply not there for someone to see what they missed. In
mailorder, it's there in your catalogue.
Chris, I don't know how much advertising you'll do or how you plan to
get people to know about you. I'm sure there's a model for figuring
estimates, but you have to have some sort of data to input for the model
work on.
One thing I will say though, if possible, don't go with less than 10-12
of anything. You will experience some losses. And you'll have a little
better cushion if the plant draws a lot of attention. Also, go with your
instincts. You know plants. You can tell if you like a plant, you know
why you like it. If you like it because it is because it is weird, order
a small amount. If you like it because of its ethereal beauty, order
more. Remember, too, that if you see it taking off, you can place
another order if your grower still has it. Then if you run out you can
offer fall delivery.

So what's your standard amount per plant, and how many customers?
I'm guessing that there's a formula that can be devised based on the number
of customers that you expect to have, but I have no clue what it is. I
also suspect that it's the kind of thing you just get figure out with
experience. :)

The "official" wraps were removed from two Jeep concept vehicles at the 61st International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt this past September, the Jeep Patriot and the Jeep Compass, both of which are described as being "directionally" where the brand is headed as it works to expand its portfolio beyond the four vehicles that presently make up its showroom (Commander, Grand Cherokee, Liberty, Wrangler). A better way of thinking about this—one that is closer to what will undoubtedly occur sometime in '06—is that the Patriot and the Compass will be rolling out of the Belvidere Assembly Plant (located in northern Illinois; the heretofore home of the Neon), which is undergoing a $419-million refurbishment, ostensibly in preparation for the Dodge Caliber.

While the MGCsplit data acquisition (DAQ) system from HBM (www.hbm.com; Marlborough, MA) is often used for in-vehicle testing as the IP65-hardened version can handle sun, ice, wind, heat, cold, dirt, mud, and moisture, apparently at the development test lab at GM Powertrain in Ypsilanti, MI, where transmission development is performed, the units are being used in another kind of mobile application.Specifically, the DAQ modules are mounted on so-called "smart pallets," pallets that are sized to handle transmissions and electronic test instrumentation.

While Lotus certainly isn't as famous as, say, Aston Martin when it comes to spy drives, it has had product piloted by Roger Moore on film (certainly not the foremost Bond). While U.S. vehicle manufacturers have had product created with fashion designers such that they've had some rather bizarre cars, in the present case, (1) Lotus worked with Gieves & Hawkes, a clothier with the appropriate address of No. 1 Saville Row, and (2) the vehicle was created for a display at Harrods ("Truly British"). Gieves & Hawkes designed a "Spy Suit" for the event, which is echoed on the 189-hp Exige.

Electromechanical Valve Actuation Revisited
Thierry Morin, chairman and CEO of Valeo (www.valeo.com) says electromechanical valve actuation is—at most—16 months away from full production feasibility. "Unfortunately," he adds, "OEMs are not as ready," though Valeo has in place development contracts with a American and a European automaker. "The earliest we will see it," he says, "is 2008 in a low-volume application."James Schwyn, Valeo's R&D director—North America, says the problems with noise and size have been largely eliminated. "The diesel-like clatter is gone," he claims, "and the system is designed to fit under current valve covers." This has been accomplished through the use of small damper springs that soften the deceleration of the valve at each end of its stroke.
