ONE of Britain's top nurseries is planning to build a £7.5m power station on the edge of the New Forest.
The award-winning Double H Nurseries wants to construct a biomass plant that will heat the huge glasshouses by burning 20,000 tonnes of waste wood products a year.
Bosses at the company, in Gore Road, New Milton, say the scheme will cut costs for the company which employs more than 100 people in the area as well as reducing the site's carbon footprint.
The combined heat and power plant will be 40 metres long and 14 metres tall, making it twice as high as the glasshouses.
The planning application says the site's current heating system uses gas and oil, both of which are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive.
It adds: "As professional growers, the owners and management of Double H Nurseries are very aware of the effects of global warming and the influence of CO2 levels on our environment.
"They are keen to become actively involved in efforts to slow global warming and preserve fossil fuels for future generations."
The application says the plant will occupy a relatively small section of the site and will have only a minimal impact on the area.
New Milton councillor Gof Beck said he supported the proposals.
He said: "The nurseries employ a great number of people in New Milton and from an environment perspective, this is a responsible way to move forward and keep this industry alive. They have done a lot of consultation with the residents and credit to them. The residents are now quite happy."
Double H Nurseries supplies 4.5 million house plants to UK supermarkets every year and employs more than 100 people.
Voted bedding and pot plant grower of the year in 2009, the company occupies part of a semi-rural area between New Milton Plans for a £300m biomass complex in Southampton docks have angered local residents, who have complained about the size of the proposed development.
As reported in the Daily Echo, developer Helius Energy is due to publish three new designs after the original proposals were labelled "monstrous".
The nursery plans have been submitted to Hampshire County Council.

Teams that win a lot – a whole lot – usually draw animosity.
Seems folks just plain get sick and tired of watching the same teams win time and again.
Look at the New York Yankees. Many like to point at George Steinbrenner with disgust as he tries to buy another World Series.
People even got fed up with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls– dynasty in the '90s. Jordan shuffled off to play baseball before coming back to the NBA with the Bullets.
Which brings us to the New England Patriots.

There was no official explanation this time around, but Lambgoat's sources say the defense attorney requested an additional conference with Lambesis.

All Micro Stoppers are equipped with sturdy galvanized steel cables, which make them prone to fraying after multiple uses. Each stopper comes in six different sizes, allowing it to be adaptable to any size of cracks. The first two sizes are for body weight aid use only, whereas you can use the bigger ones for free climbing. The most durable nut climbing tool, the Black Diamond Micro Stoppers will stop at nothing to help your ascent towards safe and clean climbing.

PHILADELPHIA - "Playoff Fever" has hit University City as four of Penn's spring programs are involved in postseason action this weekend!
Baseball, softball, men's lacrosse and women's lacrosse are all playing postseason contests this weekend -- marking the first time in Unviersity history that all four are in Ivy League postseason at the same time.
If you want to keep up on the four teams this weekend, Penn Athletics has provided you with information on how to follow along as the Quakers begin their hunt for four NCAA Championships bids.
Softball - Game Three Sunday at 1 p.m.
Live Video | Live Stats | Penn Softball on Twitter
For the second-straight year, Penn (18-20-1, 13-6-1 Ivy) and Dartmouth (29-16, 18-2 Ivy) will meet for the Ancient Eight title in the Ivy League Softball Championship Series. This time, the ILCS will be hosted by the Big Green May 3-4 at the Dartmouth Softball Park in Hanover, N.H.
The series will need a third and deciding game after Penn forced the series to go the distance with a 5-3 win in Game Two. Alexis Borden pitched every inning for the Quakers, allowing just five earned runs over 13 innings while striking out 10.
After a 5-1 loss in Game One, Penn countered quickly in the second game with three runs in the bottom of the first inning. Dartmouth would rally, tying the game in the top of the third, but Penn scored the eventual game-winning run on back-to-back-doubles in the bottom of the inning.
Penn will be competing in its fourth ILCS all-time, and enters with a 1-2 mark. The Red and Blue will be looking to buck history as the home team in the Ivy League Championship Series has won all seven previous installments. Only three previous times has the ILCS required three games to decide a winner.
One such occasion was last year at Penn Park where Penn rallied from a 2-0 deficit in Game Three to defeat Dartmouth on a Kayla Dahlerbruch home run in the fourth inning.
Penn will need to reverse a pair of losses in Hanover earlier this season to earn a trip to its second consecutive NCAA Regional. Penn was edged, 3-2, in the first game of the series but fell behind early en route to a loss in Game Two.
Men's Lacrosse - Championship Game Sunday at noon
LIve Video | Live Stats | Penn Men's Lacrosse on Twitter
Sunday's Final Will Be Televised Live on ESPNU
Semifinal Recap
A choatic, crazy finish in Cambridge has Penn in its first-ever men's lacrosse championship game on Sunday after the third-seeded Quakers knocked off second-seeded Cornell, 11-10.
Penn led, 7-5, at halftime but watched as the Big Red stormed back in the second half to score the game's next five goals and take a 10-7 lead entering the fourth quarter. The final frame belong to the Quakers, though, as Zack Losco scored the game's final four goals -- part of a five-goal game -- to spark Penn to its first win in the Ivy League Tournament. The game-winning goal came off Losco's stick with 50 seconds to play in the game.
Penn will take on top-seeded Harvard Sunday at noon on ESPNU for a Tournament title and an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
Women's Lacrosse - Championship Game Sunday at noon.
Live Video | Live Stats | Penn Women's Lacrosse on Twitter
Semifinal Recap
Penn needed double overtime to advance to its fourth Ivy League Tournament championship game, knocking off Harvard, 10-9, on Friday afternoon in Princeton. Tory Bensen scored the game winner 0:55 into the sudden victory period after Lely DeSimone had tied the game late in the first overtime.
Bensen had four goals in the game, helping Penn comeback from a 5-3 halftime deficit. Penn held an 8-6 lead late in the game, but two goals from the Crimson -- including the equalizier with 3.5 seconds left -- forced overtime.
Penn is the first Ivy team to reach four championship games and is the only school to have won multiple Ivy Tournament titles. They will look to add a third -- and clinch an automatic bid to NCAAs -- when they take on host Princeton on Sunday at noon.

In his first season as head coach. John Yurkow has skippered his team to a share of the Gehrig Division championship with Columbia. A one-game playoff is required to determine the division's representative in the Ivy League Championship Series, and the Quakers will serve as host at Meiklejohn Stadium on May 3 at 1 p.m.
The Quakers and Lions met four times last weekend -- and split both games to force the one-game playoff. Both teams finished 15-5 in the Ivy League and each has 24 wins overall in 2014. A win will send the Quakers to the Ivy League Championship Series for the first time since 2007. Columbia is the defending Gehrig Division champions. The Quakers have not been involved in a divisional playoff game since 1997 and are 0-2 all-time in this situation.
Exopect a rematch of last weekend's first game where Columbia's David Speer tossed seven shutout innings while striking out seven to earn the win, 6-0. Penn is likely to counter with its ace, Connor Cuff, who leads the Ivy League in ERA (1.34) and wins (5).

SHOCK VIDEO: L.A. reporter assaulted during on-camera interview at Zimmerman protests
(Erica Ritz) Dave Bryan, who works for local CBS affiliate CBS2/KCAL9 in Los Angeles, was reporting on the George Zimmerman protests in his area Monday night when he was unexpectedly assaulted on camera.
Though the news was released late Monday, video has now surfaced of the altercation.
Bryan appeared to have been conducting an interview when he was unexpectedly shoved to the ground by an individual in dark clothing. The apparent assailant immediately ran away after the attack.
The scene on the camera becomes chaotic, before the image focuses back in on the fleeing individuals.
"You alright, man?" Bryan is immediately asked, as he stands up and recovers his composure.
The reporter's station released a statement with more information: "While covering the disturbances in the Crenshaw District Monday night, a CBS2/KCAL9 news crew was assaulted by a lone assailant…The suspect then ran away. The crew was treated for minor injuries."
Here is the shocking video:

15th U.S. President 1857-1861
LIFETIME: 1791-1868, of Scotch-Irish ancestry
BIRTHPLACE: "Stoney Batter" northwest of Mercersburg PA - a tiny log cabin
PHOTO CREDIT: Homes and Libraries of the Presidents by William G. Clotworthy
PRIMARY HOME: "Wheatland" in Lancaster PA - a three-story red brick Federal style mansion originally set on 22 acres

Born in a tiny log cabin, James Buchanan helped his father run a country store while growing up, but later attended college and began his career as a county prosecutor. He served many years as a legislator, was appointed Minister to Russia and Great Britain , and served as Secretary of State under President Polk.
A lifelong bachelor, Buchanan shared his grand country estate named "Wheatland" with his nephew and niece in both pre- and post-presidential years. Symbolic of the extravagant social customs of the early 19th century, the manor offered gracious living that included liveried servants, leisurely dinners for 25 guests, musical entertainment, and lively conversation.
The interior design reflects early Victorian style, with Federal and American Empire furnishings, fine marble fireplaces, and graceful stairways. From a long veranda at the rear of the house, Buchanan enjoyed an expansive view of rolling wheat fields.

Chelsea Lindsay knows that singing with New York City's famed Metropolitan Opera is a long shot.
"It would be a dream come true if I could even step on the stage at the Metropolitan Opera," said Lindsay, one of 28 singers who performed Saturday as part of the Met's Utah District Auditions. "It means you've sort of arrived."
The daylong event took place in the Libby Gardner Concert Hall on the University of Utah campus and included singers from Utah and the surrounding states.
Each contestant sang an aria of his or her choice, accompanied by a piano. The three judges then selected a second aria for them to perform from a list the singers submitted earlier. Judges were Anthony Dean Griffey, a four-time Grammy award-winning tenor; Joshua Winograde, with the Los Angeles Opera; and Peter Kazara, UCLA's director of opera.
The top performers from the event will move to the regional finals Jan. 27 Denver. If successful there, the singers will go to the semifinals and then finals, both of which take place on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.
"This is where everything starts," said Melissa Wegner, associate director of the Met's National Council Auditions. "Someone who auditions today could be singing on stage at the Met in March."
Even if they don't make it to the Met, Wegner said the auditions give the singers, all between 20 and 30 years old, exposure and could land them a post in a regional opera or in a training program.
That's why 21-year-old Rebecca Pedersen, the youngest of the audition group, spent "hours and hours" over the past few months rehearsing. Besides lessons, the vocal performance student at Brigham Young University listened to operas, read about them, studied characters and practiced hand gestures to prepare.
During her performance, some of the things she practiced "went out the window" thanks to a bit of nervousness. But Pedersen persevered and was one of the three winners who advanced to the regional finals in Denver.
"I have a voice and I want to share it with people," Pedersen said before receiving news of her success.
Auditions for the next season will be Nov. 16.
Angela LeBaron auditioned three years ago and was back for a second try on Saturday.
"Life has made me more mature," said LeBaron, who has gotten married, had a baby and started the master's program BYU. "I feel like I have more drive."
The Utah District auditions, divided into morning and afternoon sessions, were free to the public. While many family, friends and colleagues filled the seats, there were plenty of opera fans in attendance, including neighbors Dea Smith and Liz Richey, of Salt Lake City.
"Neither one of us watch TV, so we're always looking for something educational and uplifting," said Smith, who decided to attend because "I thought that anyone with this kind of goal (singing at the Met) would be talented and trying really hard."
Richey was disappointed that she couldn't stay for the afternoon performances.
"I'm putting the November auditions on my calendar, so I can stay for the whole day," she said.
Saturday's opera show stoppers
• Rebecca Pedersen, Jared Bybee and Melissa Otani Jensen were winners of Saturday's auditions. They will advance to the Rocky Mountain Regional finals Jan. 27 in Denver.
• Five other singers received encouragement awards: Michelle Alexander, Keri Costello, Chelsea Lindsay, Mason Gates Neipp and Miriam Swan.
• Sheronda McKee received the Audience Choice Award.

Repair was simple (just lift off the old and put on the new). What was pleasantly surprising was how quickly I received the parts (amazing)! Lastly, I've been looking for the correct parts/sizes in stores for years (yes, I should have tried this sooner). I was delighted to finally find a place that actually had the correct parts.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
Received the Drip bowls and Rings very quickly. Opened the box and then cut open the plastic wrap that the individual rings and drip bowls were in. Lifted the burner on the stove top, took out the old ring and drip bowl. Installed the shiny new drip bowl and ring, then lowered the stove top element back into place. I was able to replace all 4 of them within 5 minutes. Made the 30 year old stove look brand new.Thank you for perfect fit parts and fast delivery.
So this ancient stove we inherited when we bought our house had the drip bowls wrapped in tin foil. We've searched EVERY (not joking) store in our area for drip bowls that would fit it, but apparently Hotpoint wanted to make sure you could never do this - well, at least not easily. No one, not one store carries drip bowls to fit it. I finally searched online and partselect.com came up first on the list. I was amazed they had the right part! Better yet, ordering was beyond easy, and they came super quick. Popped in the parts in less than 2 minutes, and we're good to go - makes this old stove look new! (well, if this was the 80's, lol) When I clicked on the part it said which stoves it would fit, which was also very helpful. Thank goodness for Part Select! Otherwise we would've had to rewrap those disgusting old bowls... I'd recommend this site in a heartbeat!
Replaced all the ordered parts, and straightened a bent "rest piece" (one of three) on the element os the large burner, which made it rest perfectly on the new Trim Ring. It doesn't easily fall down into the bowl now while I am using the burner. The new Bowls look so nice, and the stove looks nearly new!I now know where to go for help when I need to repair appliances. You seem to have everything that could possibly be needed. Thank you!
I just replaced them.
Customer service is great. Fast shipping. Great communication. I have them bookmarked from a previous order. Same good service as the first time. Thank you.
Lifted burner element to remove pressure on ring and drip bowl. Removed old parts and replaced in reverse order. This not intended to sound sexist, but my wife who is not particularily mechanically inclined performed the task on her own.
First I turned the breaker off the Range. Second I removed the two screws that held the element inplace. Then I pulled element front until I could get to the two screw which connected the wires and removed then. Removed old Bake element. Installed new element by connecting the two wires and then pushed the element into place and secured it by reinstalling the two screws. Turned the breaker back on and tested. This is a very easy item to replace and takes very little time.
Just lifted the electric components Remove drip plans and trim rings and replaced with new drip pans and trim. Your company was incredible in there delivery of the parts..One day. You made my husbands very happy.
lift eye slide in bowl and trim ring, put the eye back down,
Changed out the burner element and then updated all of the centers on the remaining elements. changed out the rings and the pans and now the stove looks new. Thanks for the fast shipping. Brett
Got parts super quick! Everything exactly the same for a range over 30 yrs, old!! Lift up element,(hinged)remove 1 mounting screw, disconnect 2 wires, remove & replace drip bowl,reconnect 2 wires,put on trim ring, replace mounting screw, lower element (hinged) back in place.
It was so easy to find the correct items on your web site and they arrived in a very timely manner. Perfict fit. Now I know how to get parts when I need them.
I have tilt up burners on my Range, and decided to replace one that have finally rusted out the part that holds it in place. Repair was easy- installed according to the enclosed instructions. Parts arrived in good condition and very timely. A+
Simple replacement on an old "built in" range in good condition but drip pans and trim rings soiled beyond cleaning. Stove top, although 20+ years old, now looks like new. So glad to find parts were still available as "universal" replacement parts for the 8 inch burner do not fit. Delivered to my door in days.

About ArgentinaView a map of Argentina wineries (ahr-jen-TEE-nah)
Notable FactsUnlike its Chilean neighbor, Argentina's vineyards are spread out around the country. The best known region is Mendoza, almost parallel to Santiago to the west. Mendoza contains the sub-regions of Maipu (pronounced MY-pu) and San Rafael. Grape-wise, the most important white is Chardonnay, making wine similar to California's style on the variety. Another fun white grape to try is Torrontes. Almost only grown in Argentina, Torrontes makes wines that are crisp, aromatic and easy-drinking. Some of the best versions of this wine come from the northern region of Salta, with very high altitude vineyards. As for the reds, Cabernet Sauvignon is the main grape for many wines leaving the country, but Malbec, the grape Argentinians like to call their own, makes very distinctive wines that are structured, dense and velvety. Many more varieties happily grow in the country, but for export, and consistent quality, these are the primary grapes.

By Charles Shigley Jr.
In reading the Everett Herald's April 28 article on coal trains, "Coal trains would worsen Marysville's traffic problem," it occurred to me that Everett is in a position to eliminate all of the damage the trains will do to communities from Marysville to Cherry Point, and the city can make money doing it. When SSA Marine was looking for land to build a coal export terminal Everett had nothing to offer. But now, Kimberly Clark has shut down its pulp mill and put the land up for sale. The city has zoned it for deep-water dependent uses, which is exactly what coal terminals need.
Maybe it's a little late to get into the competition, but Everett has nothing to lose and a great deal to offer. The coal terminal proposed for Bellingham has generated an avalanche of opposition, and Everett should fare far better because building a terminal on the old pulp mill site will cause fewer undesirable impacts. One way or the other those mile-long trains will rumble through Everett, and by building the coal terminal on the Kimberly Clark site the city will keep the land on the tax rolls, and benefit from the construction work and the jobs that will be created to operate the export terminal. The developer, SSA Marine, could also count on support from Everett's elected officials, business leaders and organized labor.
From the coal industries standpoint, it will shorten the rail trip from the Powder River Basin to tide-water by 100 miles or more, and reduce the growing political and legal challenges from cities and towns north of Everett.
Competition is fierce for industries that might still want to build a deep water terminal on Puget Sound, and historically Everett has been at a disadvantage in competing for maritime business because unlike Seattle and Tacoma, Everett is served by only one railroad, its central business district obstructs the flow of traffic between its harbor and freeway, and it doesn't have a great deal of affordable back-up space. But in this case none of that matters. The city has an absolute advantage, both economically and environmentally, and the mayor and the city council should insist that the Department of Ecology, The Army Corps of Engineers and Whatcom County fully and fairly look at Everett as a viable alternative to the coal terminal proposed for Whatcom County.
Building the coal terminal in Everett will eliminate the traffic congestion, aggravation, and enormous public costs that the rail traffic will impose on everyone from Marysville north to Cherry Point. Everett can rout coal trains through its tunnel right through the middle of town to the Kimberly Clark site without disrupting anyone or anything. No one gains anything except the railroad by sending eight or ten train loads of coal a day an additional hundred miles up the coast. Everett has everything SSA Marine needs to build a coal export terminal. It has the vacant land, a willing seller, the right zoning, and community leaders, both labor and business, all favor a water dependent industry on that site.
My wife and I live near Stanwood and own property in Everett. Running 18 coal trains a day through Stanwood will not improve life for the people who live and work here.
As an Everett taxpayer, I want the city to encourage SSA Marine to build the coal terminal on the Kimberly Clark site, keep the property on the tax rolls, and capture the economic benefits.
The loss of Kimberly Clark's pulp mill still hurts but it also opened up a great opportunity for Everett's leaders. There are few deep-water industries looking for land here and Everett should go after this one with everything it's got.
Charles Shigley Jr. lives in Stanwood.

On the Outs: St. Anton shoot with Bobby Brown, Jossi Wells and Bene Mayr
I spent about a week in Austria last spring with Bobby Brown, Bene Mayr and Jossi Wells. It snowed the day we arrived, the third day we were there and the fifth day. Otherwise it was bluebird and beautiful.
A few shots from this shoot made it into the magazine's Epics photo galleries (pgs. 39 & 41 of the Buyer's Guide), but there always seem to be leftovers. So check out the gallery for a few more bangers from our trip to St. Anton am Arlberg, Austria filming with Poorboyz Productions for The Grand Bizarre.

University names new director for its marching band
The University of South Carolina School of Music has named Steve McKeithen as director of athletic bands and assistant director of bands.
Steve McKeithen
McKeithen, who began July 1, will oversee the university's marching band, The Mighty Sound of the Southeast and the University Concert Band. McKeithen recently completed his doctoral coursework at Arizona State University, where he conducted ASU's Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band and Chamber Winds and served as primary teaching assistant for the Sun Devil Marching Band. He succeeds Dr. George Brozak.
"We are delighted to bring Steve McKeithen to Columbia to be the director of the Carolina Band and coordinator of all athletics bands in the School of Music," said Dr. Tayloe Harding, dean of the School of Music. "Steve is an accomplished marching band director, having produced award-winning bands in Texas. We have every confidence that Steve will be a great leader for the Mighty Sound of the Southeast, and we look forward to many years of high-quality music-making and entertainment on game days at Williams-Brice under his direction."
Harding said McKeithen has a "fine band pedigree," having earned a master of music in music education from the University of Illinois and a bachelor's degree in music education from the University of Florida.
McKeithen is the former director of bands for Seguin High School in Seguin, Texas. Under his direction, Seguin's band program experienced tremendous growth and success in top state and national band competition. He is a member of numerous professional associations, including the World Association of Symphonic Band and Ensembles and College Band Directors National Association.
The Southeastern Conference is well known for its collegiate marching bands. The university's Mighty Sound of the Southeast shares in that tradition, fielding a band of more than 270 student musicians, twirlers, drum majors, dancers and members of the flag line who perform traditional pre-game and contemporary halftime programs. For more information on the history of the university's marching band, visit the Web site: http://bands.music.sc.edu/history.html
Earlier this year, the university opened a state-of-the-art band and dance building for its band and dance programs.

Tropical pitcher plants belong to a very unique group of flowering plants that have special adaptations found in few other plants: pitcher-shaped leaves which trap and digest small organisms. There are approximately 76 species of tropical pitcher plants, all of which are classified in the genus Nepenthes. The genus Nepenthes comprises its own family, the Nepenthaceae, based on floral and other physical characteristics of these plants.
Tropical pitcher plants of the genus Nepenthes are distributed in tropical areas of northern Australia, southeast Asia, southern China, India and Madagascar.
These plants grow as vines, in the undergrowth, or up in the canopy of tropical forests.
Tropical pitcher plants generally grow as vines, climbing over other plants, and may grow as epiphytes, growing on other plants in the forest canopy, or as low shrubs. The pitchers of tropical pitcher plants may resemble flowers, but are actually modified leaf blades that hang from coiled tendrils. The pitchers are usually shaped like tubes or, as the name implies, like small pitchers. All species in the genus Nepenthes use their pitchers to trap and digest small invertebrate animals.
The pitchers can vary in shape even within the same species of plant depending on the age of the plant, the amount of light, and whether the pitcher is growing near the ground or high up. The pitchers are filled with acidic digestive liquids. The pitchers are able to break down and absorb nutrients from animals, usually invertebrates such as insects, that fall into the pitchers. The pitchers are covered by small lids as they grow, in order to prevent the digestive liquid from being diluted by rainwater. The lids shrivel or open up when the pitchers are fully developed.
There are estimated to be approximately 76 species of Nepenthes in the world. All species of Nepenthes are listed on Appendix II to the Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), which restricts trade of these plants. The World Conservation Union (IUCN) lists three species of Nepenthes, all native to Borneo, as endangered. Tropical pitcher plants suffer mainly from habitat destruction, but due to the low numbers of their populations, collecting has also had serious impacts. The incidence of illegal trade in Nepenthes is high. Methods have been developed to produce Nepenthes plants from tissue culture. The horticultural use of plants produced by this process can help reduce the impact on wild Nepenthes. Woodland Park Zoo displays species of Nepenthes in the canopy dome of the Tropical Rain Forest. However, these plants produce pitchers only occasionally depending on seasonal variations of the weather.

Dr. Peter Bloniarz will be executive director and senior policy advisor within group of experts devising strategies against cyber threats.
Peter Bloniarz
ALBANY, N.Y. (October 10, 2013) — Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced the appointment of Dr. Peter Bloniarz to serve as the Executive Director and Senior Policy Advisor to the Governor's Cyber Security Advisory Board. Dr. Bloniarz is currently the Dean of the College of Computing and Information at the University at Albany. As a result of the appointment, Dr. Bloniarz will take a leave from his dean position but will remain employed by UAlbany.
On May 10, 2013, Cuomo announced the Cyber Advisory Board, which is working with the administration on innovative strategies to keep New Yorkers safe from cyber threats. The board will advise the administration on developments in cyber security and make recommendations for protecting the state's critical infrastructure and information systems. The board members named in May are among the world's leading experts in cyber security and bring vast experience in both the public and private sectors.
"As more of our daily activities are linked to the internet, it is crucial that we take the necessary measures to protect ourselves against cyber attacks, and that includes hiring the best and brightest in the cyber security field to head up our advisory board," said Cuomo. "Peter is an experienced professional in this field, and his work will be vital in helping to shield New Yorkers, businesses and state government from cyber threats, such as identity theft and consumer fraud. I thank Peter for answering the call to serve the people of the State of New York."
"Governor Cuomo has selected an extraordinarily skilled group of professionals to serve on his Cyber Security Advisory Board," said Bloniarz. "I am pleased to have the opportunity to work with these experienced individuals, and develop recommendations for programs and policies that will realize the Governor's vision of a New York State that is safe from cyber threats and cyber attacks. As someone who has spent many years building academic programs at the University at Albany that have helped build capacity in government, it is an honor to be selected to work more directly with the Governor's Advisory Board to help the state protect its citizens in today's interconnected world."
William Pelgrin, Co-Chair of the Cyber Security Advisory Board, said, "Throughout his career, Peter has demonstrated a commitment to translating technology research into practical programs that benefit the public sector. His expertise in working to develop better approaches to cyber security will serve the Governor¹s Cyber Security Advisory Board well and help New York State be better prepared to deal with the complex cyber security challenges it faces."
"I would like to extend my congratulations to Dean Bloniarz on this most exciting and well-deserved appointment. This is a tremendous honor for Dr. Bloniarz, as well as a point of pride for our entire University at Albany community," said University at Albany President Robert J. Jones. "Over the past three decades, Dean Bloniarz has spearheaded numerous innovative academic and research programs in the area of information technology. We are thrilled that he has now been asked by the Governor to advise the Administration on the important issue of cyber security and to make recommendations to better protect the state's critical infrastructure assets and information systems."
Prior to becoming dean, Bloniarz was the Interim Vice President for Research. He was one of the founders and research director of the University's award-winning Center for Technology in Government.

Best Of :: Shopping & Services
Chelsea and Fred Marando opened their place in 2009 as a hub for local, organic produce. In a few short years, they've grown so much that the farm is supplying restaurants in addition to families. Grab a bag and a pair of scissors at the entrance so you can clip your own herbs and lettuces. Browse the baskets of bright fruits and veggies. Pop inside the general store for beautiful pumpernickel breads, marbled rye, and olive loaves, plus raw milk, homemade preserves, locally roasted coffee, and a vast selection of organic pet food. Want more? Buy into the community-supported agriculture program and get a weekly supply of star fruit, oranges, tomatoes, and such. Or go a step further and get your hands dirty by participating in the community garden on-site. Bring the kids — pigs, chickens, billy goats, and geese (all once abandoned and adopted by the farm) make a miniature petting zoo of sorts.
Millions of years from now, when archaeologists are trying to figure out how we lived circa 2012, they need only unearth the site of the Sawgrass Mills Mall. Our entire culture can be deduced from a Marshalls, a Best Buy Mobile, and a SuperTarget, plus a 23-screen theater with IMAX and some fossilized Chick-fil-A. Although the mall is a legendary draw for tourists — easy to recognize because they're pushing three shopping carts apiece — we locals would go mad and broke if we came here habitually, because the place is so massive that it triggers sensory overload. But once in a great while, when the skies are gray and you've gotten a good night's sleep, come here to shop — and shop hard. While the prices in many shops aren't hugely discounted, you sure as hell can't beat the selection. Among the 350 stores are a TJ Maxx, a Burlington Coat Factory, and a Bed Bath and Beyond — seriously, it's like Sawgrass Mills eats a box store every morning for breakfast. Be strategic. Try not to get sidelined by the tower of gumball machines or the SpongeBob pajama seller, and save your energy for the real deals at Last Call by Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom Rack.
Sincerity is an increasingly endangered species. When someone earnestly tells you to "prepare to rule the world" after performing a few hip-opening stretches, its tempting to roll the eyes or, at the very least, stifle a laugh. But just one muscle-melting session inside this cocoon of a studio will cure that cynical knee jerk. Pick a class — seriously, any class; all of the instructors are fantastic — and see what you've been missing at your atmosphere-free corporate gym. Hot or warm, Vinyasa or raja, easy or seemingly death-defying, this recently expanded space caters to yogis of all ilk. Don't try to fight it: The passion and positivity exuded by the staff and classmates are catching. Just get your ass in the studio, chant a few "oms," and admit that you actually like feeling this good.
Once upon a time, massages seemed like fairy-tale creations available only to Condé Nast-reading, spa-going rich men and their trophy wives. But then a friend tipped us off to this cool studio that puts massage in reach of us little people. Owners Frank Velaz and MaryLou DiNicolas use massage to alleviate real injuries — from accidents, sports, baby-making, stress, and carpal tunnel — so they accept insurance. One arm of the business caters to pregnant ladies whose backs are aching from the baby weight; specially designed massage tables have cutouts that make room for a big belly and two bloated boobies, and MaryLou doubles as a doula. The therapy is not just physical but emotional too. They'll talk like new best friends if you're chatty and need to vent, but if you're jonesing for some quiet time, they'll shut up and let the darkened room and aromatherapy work their healing magic. Thai massage, couples massage, cupping, and yoga classes are all in their repertoire too.
When it comes to finding safe activities for kids, parents are in a major bind these days. What's that, you say? Go to the beach? In this 100-degree heat? Snoogums will get a sunburn. The indoor play place? Those rackets charge $20 a pop. A private babysitter? Sigh... they're probably pedophiles. There is an oasis in this swamp of iniquity. At Calvary Chapel's flagship 75-acre campus in Fort Lauderdale, there's a massive playground with a state-of-the-art seesaw, an athletic field, and an entire skateboarding park. Four on-site eateries include a gourmet restaurant with table service (try the portobello steak; it's divine) and a Starbucks-like coffee shop. Should you want to explore this resort-like paradise sans kids for a while, browse in the bookstore or take a Tae Bo class at the sports complex — or catch the sermon; that's an option too. While you do, young'uns can be dropped off for free childcare. Infants and toddlers play with toys, albeit biblical-themed, in the nursery, and school-aged kids act out plays in the theater. Sure, your precious pumpkin might come home with a little Jesus on his play clothes, but is there really any harm in it? Just make sure the kids don't get too addicted... next, they will be asking you to shell out $2,550 so they can spend spring break with the high school missionary team in Uganda.
The folks who don Statue of Liberty costumes and dance the day away for all the cars on Hallandale Beach Boulevard are so reliable that they should be reference points in local traffic reports. Jesus Abikarram, manager of Liberty Tax Service (get the costume reference?), says he employs a steady flow of dancers on the sidewalk from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. during tax season, rotating them through four-hour shifts. All the dancers have their own approach to get through a shift. One, who wished to remain nameless, was jamming the Bee Gees and lip-synching into a water bottle on a warm March day. "I get a lot of honks and a lot of whistles," he said. "I get a lot of middle fingers too."

LA VERNE - The jump to CIF-SS Division 2AA this season was looking like it never was going to catch up to the Bonita High School girls basketball team.
In Tuesday's semifinal, however, Lynwood proved too tall an order.
The towering lineup of the third-seeded Knights dominated the boards in the second half as it pulled away for a 60-47 victory over seventh-seeded Bonita. The defending division champion Knights are back in the title game, where they will face the winner of No. 1 seed Mark Keppel and No. 4 seed Riverside North.
With a 6-foot point guard, a 6-2 post player and 5-11 rebounding specialist, Lynwood (23-5) owned the lane for the last 12 minutes. The Knights also possessed a fleet of skilled perimeter players who ran the fast break to perfection.
"We weren't playing very smart in the first half, but we stopped being lazy and turned things around," Lynwood coach Ellis Barfield said. "It feels good to be back in the championship game, but we set higher goals at the beginning of the season."
The battle between Lynwood point guard Alize Lofton and Bonita counterpart Nikki Wheatley was an entertaining one. The difference was the 6-0 Lofton, who scored a game-high 24 points, received ample help from her teammates.
Wheatley, meanwhile, was double-teamed sometimes even when she didn't have the ball. The junior finished with 22 points, including 15 in the second half, and eight from the free-throw line.
"You knew it was going to come and they were going to try and deny Nikki the ball," Bonita coach Darren Baumunk said. "It was a thing where we missed some lay-ups early, missed some free throws early.
"I told the girls at halftime that we're down three, but we had a lot of opportunities to get the ball where we should be ahead."
Lynwood led by just three with 4:27 remaining in the third quarter before a 9-1 run gave the defending champs a comfortable lead.
Amber Blackmon, the Knights' 6-2 center, added 12 points and guard Nijala Johnson had all 11 of her points in the second half.
Bonita pulled within nine late in the third quarter thanks to a pair of free throws from Ariana Abo, who was the only other Bonita player in double figures with 11 points. But the Bearcats got no closer.
Bonita ended Cajon's undefeated season with a 13-point victory in the quarterfinals, upsetting a bracket that had gone exactly according to the seedings to that point.
With four starters returning and Lynwood possibly moving up a division, a Bonita team that went to the CIF finals two years ago could be in line for another deep playoff run.
"It was one of those things were we needed everything to go our way," Baumunk said "That was a great team we just faced, the best team we've faced all year."

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that may affect many different parts of the body. Small round spots, called granulomas, form in various organs. The spots slow down normal functioning of those organs.
The cause of sarcoidosis is not known. It seems to be related to malfunctioning of the immune system. The disease may be triggered by an infection or exposure to a toxin in the environment.
Some people may be more susceptible to sarcoidosis due to genetic or environmental factors.
Risk Factors
Sarcoidosis is more common in females and at ages 20 to 40 years old. Factors that may increase the chance of sarcoidosis include:
- Ethnic descent—African-American, Northern European, Scandinavian, and Irish
- History of sarcoidosis in:
- First-degree relative—parents and siblings
- Second degree relatives—uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, grandparent, grandchild, and half-sibling
- Exposures to dusty or moldy environment orcertain occupations.
Symptoms vary and can occur in different parts of the body, depending on where the granulomas form. Most symptoms develop in the lungs, skin, eyes, and liver. Multiple body systems may be affected. Symptoms may come and go. This disease is often acute, but in some people, it is chronic.
Symptoms may include:
- Cough
- Shortness of breath
- Wheezing
- Chest pain
- Rash with swelling—erythema nodosum
- Fever
- Pain or irritation of eyes
- Fatigue, especially with exertion
- Muscle weakness
- Night sweats
- Loss of appetite
- Weight loss
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Seizures
- Tremors
- Difficulty hearing
- Blurred vision or blindness
- Poor coordination
- Trouble walking
- Irregular heart rate
- Pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints
- Facial paralysis known as Bell's palsy
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. An eye exam may also be done. There is no specific lab test that confirms a diagnosis of sarcoidosis, but tests may include:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Biopsy
Imaging tests evaluate bodily structures. These may include:
- X-rays
- Bronchoscopy
- CT scan
- Gallium scan
Your heart activity may be tested. This can be done with an electrocardiogram (EKG).
Your lung function may be tested. This can be done with pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
Diagnosis is based on all of the following criteria:
- The combination of typical symptoms and results on imaging tests (mainly an x-ray)
- Biopsy that shows the presence of granulomas (from the easiest organ to get tissue samples from)
- Exclusion of other causes
Treatment aims to ease symptoms and minimize permanent problems. Treatment may include:
You need regular medical and eye exams to monitor for symptoms and complications of sarcoidosis.
Drugs that may be prescribed include the following:
- Steroids to decrease inflammation
- Methotrexate, azathioprine, or anti-tumor necrosis factor biologics may be used for those who do not respond to steroids
- Hydroxychloroquine to treat skin problems
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) to treat musculoskeletal symptoms
- Pulmonary rehabilitation programs to improve lung function
- Topical steroids to treat rashes
- Eye drops to treat mild eye problems
To help minimize your symptoms:
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about how to successfully quit.
- Avoid exposure to dust and chemicals.
- Notify your doctor at right away if any symptoms develop or worsen.

USC named military friendly school
By Megan Sexton, email@example.com, 803-777-1421
Sgt. First Class William Paige walks among the other students on the University of South Carolina campus, knowing he is right where he belongs.
After nine years as a full-time soldier, the 26-year-old Paige is now a full-time student. After one deployment to Iraq and two missions to Afghanistan, Paige is now navigating the brick walkways of the Carolina campus and finding his way to classroom buildings and the library. After three years as a drill instructor at Fort Jackson, he is now hunkering down with behavioral statistics and Spanish textbooks.
And he wouldn't have it any other way.
"I joined the Army right after high school because I thought it would help me mature. It did. I had the opportunity to grow up and learn some things. Now I have the opportunity to bring that experience here to USC," said Paige, a native of Detroit. "I don't think I'd have that perspective if I didn't do that."
Unlike the past few years when he balanced his work as a Fort Jackson drill sergeant with his college courses, Paige no longer has the responsibilities of his Army job as he works toward his bachelor's degree in psychology. He is taking advantage of the military's "Green to Gold" program, which allows him to continue earning his regular pay as a soldier while he takes a full load of classes on his way to earning his college degree.
"It's great how USC works to help the soldiers. I've taken classes on the Fort Jackson campus at night and at lunch time. If you're a soldier and you can only come to class at night, that's when they will have the class," he said. "USC does everything it can to meet every need."
That support has earned USC a place on the 2013 Military Friendly Schools list,which was released Monday (Sept. 17). The award honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools – 1,739 institutions -- that excel in the recruitment and retention of students with military experience. The list, compiled by Victory Media Inc., will be highlighted in the annual "G.I. Jobs Guide to Military Friendly Schools," distributed in October. USC Sumter and USC Beaufort also are included on the list.
Scott Verzyl, USC's associate vice president for enrollment management and executive director of admissions, said the university is proud and honored to be recognized as a military friendly school.
"The university is committed to serving our veterans on their way toward a college degree, and has a long history of support through programs as varied as ROTC, our Fort Jackson campus and the new Back to Carolina initiative offered through Palmetto Programs and Extended University," Verzyl said. "An important part of our mission is to educate all the citizens of the Palmetto State, many of whom have military ties and experience. This military friendly designation symbolizes our commitment to bettering the lives of our veterans and a better South Carolina for all."
Active duty military, their family members and veterans often connect with USC at Carolina's Fort Jackson campus. There, at the Army's largest basic combat training center, classes and academic counseling are offered for students who want to pursue a college degree.
"We're a 'mini-campus' that fills a need for our military students who are looking to expand, increase or start their educational career," said Connie Vise, director of USC's Fort Jackson Program. "We act as a liaison between the fort and the Columbia campus. This office shows that we want to provide our services to the military."
The university is a member of Servicemembers Opportunity Colleges (SOC), meaning it pre-approves classes for transfer. That's important for military members, who often are required to move to different cities in the middle of their college education. This program allows them to easily transfer credits to other colleges that are members of the consortium. USC also offers civilian college credit for approved military training courses, and offers in-state tuition and other discounts for active-duty military, reservists and National Guard members.
Carolina also has recently started a new student veterans organization on campus.
For students like Paige, the opportunity to combine military training and life as a college student is something he is thankful for each time he steps on campus.
"Appreciate what you've got. Some people don't have running water or a nice place to sit without worrying about bombs going off," he said. "Students need to appreciate the small things."
He expects to graduate from Carolina in May 2014, and will pursue his commission as a second lieutenant. He then plans to return to the Army full time, planning to spend at least 10 years as an officer.
"Every time I walk around this campus I find some history. I'm glad I can get my education here and be part of USC's history," he said. "And maybe I'll even make some history myself while I'm here."

Football Names Player Reps for 2013 Season
Football Names Player Reps for 2013 Season
Feb. 11, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Kansas State head football coach Bill Snyder announced today that 14 Wildcats have been named player representatives for the 2013 season.
Travis Britz, B.J. Finney, Marcus Heit, John Hubert, Mark Krause, Tyler Lockett, Cornelius Lucas, Ryan Mueller, Curry Sexton, Blake Slaughter, Tramaine Thompson, Jonathan Truman, Tre Walker and Ty Zimmerman were chosen by their teammates to serve as player representatives for the program in 2013.
The role of these leaders will be to promote those traits which they each possess: unselfishness, team concepts, unity, strong work habits, great attitude and a strong commitment toward achieving success through the team's 16 goals.
"I appreciate not only these young men who have demonstrated caring leadership capabilities, but also our entire body of players for unselfishly selecting quality leadership for their team," Snyder said. "This group of football student-athletes consists of players who have demonstrated that they are committed to being the best possible individuals, students, athletes and teammates they can possibly be as well as truly caring about helping guide their teammates to the same end."
K-State, which opens spring practice April 3, is coming off a 2012 season that saw the Wildcats earn their third conference title in school history while advancing to a BCS bowl for the second time in school history. The Cats also return six All-Big 12 performers and two All-America selections from last year's 11-2 team.
Following the annual spring game on April 27, the Wildcats will host two-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State in the 2013 season opener, which also will mark the opening of the new West Stadium Center at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Ticket information for the 2013 season will be released in the coming weeks.

TITLE: The Evil Tree
GENRE: Horror
ARCANA TITLE PAGE: http://www.arcana.com/view_issue.php?id=437
DESCRIPTION: In a colonial village outside of NYC, Misha and her fiance, Daren, seek an escape from the fast pace of the city. As they settle in, Misha becomes withdrawn, suffering from bad dreams and depression. When Daren brings his friends to the house to "shake out the cobwebs," little does he know he is setting into motion events started hundreds of years ago with the original occupants of the house, the Willam Family. Not only did the ill-fated Willam family die in the house one cold winter, but the house has developed a history of female occupants committing suicide. The friends must solve the mystery of the house before the Willam Family ghosts pick them off one by one.
"The story is classic horror movie in graphic novel form, the way it should be done. Really creepy, moody and occasionally gut-wrenching horrific it does remind you of all the good stuff in Evil Dead movies – indeed the book could be a companion piece to the Evil Dead series. But there are somber moments too and chills that creep under you skin… Surprisingly the more tender moments, and the character interactions aren't an afterthought. Relations and emotions are handled with equal aplomb and makes this book a must read and already a personal favorite of mine." — Peter Bergting (The Portent, Crysis, Dark Sun, Strange Girl)
"A ghost story that will make your blood run cold." — ComicMonsters.com – http://www.comicmonsters.com/reviews-314-The_Evil_Tree_GN.html
"Hendrix and Thollin sold me. Their tale of a young couple inadvertently awakening Something Very Evil may not be innovative, but I have a soft spot for classic tropes done well, and Mr. Hendrix rang enough changes on the formula that I was never bored. As a haunted house story, The Evil Tree is genuinely haunting… even scary… I was especially impressed with Mr. Thollin's ability to craft and stage comics layouts that were actually frightening and surprising… In a way it's almost more immersive– the jagged, simple style of the art helps put across the emotional part of the story. And when the art is that well-suited to the story, that's my definition of good." — Greg Hatcher, Comic Book Resources.com – http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2012/06/03/weekend-with-the-review-pile/
"The Evil Tree is exactly what a classic ghost story should be, Hendrix and Thollin capture all the elements of the genre with stunning execution. This is a perfect Halloween tale that's bound to send shivers down your spine." — Lonnie Nadler, Bloody-Disgusting.com – http://bloody-disgusting.com/news/3146805/preview-arcana-set-to-release-the-evil-tree-in-time-for-halloween/
"If THE EVIL DEAD was a ghost story told as a beautifully illustrated graphic novel, it would be THE EVIL TREE. If you're a fan of horror comics, you owe it to yourself to check out this book!" — Dirk Manning (writer of NIGHTMARE WORLD and TALES OF MR. RHEE)
"A stark, powerful ghost story told with real verve and conviction." — Mike Carey (UNWRITTEN, THE DEVIL YOU KNOW)
"Horror comics are hard to pull off… A lot of them just aren't scary. The Evil Tree, though, works because it's more about getting invested in the stakes. Erik Hendrix invests a lot of time in making these characters distinct and grounded: these are all people you believe are friends through work, pitching in to help out, making fun of each other, in close relationships… It's a great horror book… and worth checking out." — Dan Seitz – GammaSquad.com - http://gammasquad.uproxx.com/2012/06/the-comic-you-need-to-read-this-week-the-evil-tree-1
"The Evil Tree stands shoulder to shoulder with the best out there. This is a comic about a group of friends surrounded by a living ghost story and it will scare the hell out of you." — Geeks of Doom – http://www.geeksofdoom.com/2012/10/15/comic-review-the-evil-tree/
"If you, like me, are a fan of horror movies, but horror comic books have left you wanting, The Evil Tree is the perfect remedy." — Word of the Nerd – http://www.wordofthenerdonline.com/sneak-peek-the-evil-tree-from-arcana/
"Arcana's tribute to the moodier slasher movies works because of a mixture of good writing that lets us get to know the characters before they start getting picked off and unique art by Daniel Thollin that can swing between the conventional and the disturbing in a heartbeat. It's a fairly conventional haunted house story, but a very well told one, nonetheless." — Dan Seitz – GammaSquad.com - http://www.uproxx.com/gammasquad/2012/10/five-recent-and-great-horror-comics-for-halloween/
