The Transition Handbook in Yes! Magazine
Whenever I'm feeling depressed about the current state of the world (and let's face it, these days this is quite often), I am instantly cheered and encouraged by reading about the Transition Towns movement. If you're not yet aware of Rob Hopkins' brilliant, empowering work in Totnes, England, and its resultant movement now spreading all over the world (including several initiatives here in the United States), don't waste a moment and head straight to The Transition Handbook page to get started.
Transition is about relocalizing communities and cultivating resilience in the face of both climate change and peak oil. Thankfully, the good folks at Yes! Magazine have caught on to the incredible potential of this movement as well, and decided to highlight the Transition movement in the following article.
Ciaran Mundy, a successful high-tech entrepreneur with a Ph.D. in soil ecology, started a website to update people on all the "terrible news about climate change." But after a while, he felt it wasn't working—that it would never work. "It took me years to realize there's no point in putting up more facts and figures," he says. "They just bounce off people."
Then he stumbled across the Transition Town movement, which was just picking up steam in his city—Bristol, England. When Mundy attended a training session on Transition Towns, he found a group of people addressing the big problems of our time, and doing it with optimism and a sense of celebration.
The Transition movement is built around making the transition to a world after peak oil—the time when world oil production reaches an all-time high, then goes into irreversible decline. Oil prices will spike and the economy will stop growing, wreaking havoc in our society, which depends on petroleum for nearly everything, from growing food to maintaining economies. The Transition movement aims to prepare communities for peak oil—or climate change, or economic meltdown—by reclaiming lost skills, teaching new ones, and fostering local self-sufficiency.
The movement's approach and attitude, as much as its goals, galvanized Mundy. "It's not about being angsty, and doing worthy things. It's about celebrating," he says. "I like parties—I'm a bit of a party animal," he adds with a grin. "So it's perfect for me."
Starting the Transition
Transition Towns started in 2005 as a community project led by Rob Hopkins, who was teaching permaculture in a rural Irish town called Kinsale. The year before, he and his class watched a new movie, The End of Suburbia, that said peak oil will completely transform our lives. "It greatly focused the mind and came as a great shock to everyone—myself included," Hopkins writes in The Transition Handbook, the movement's bible. He added a project to his course to imagine how Kinsale "might successfully make the transition to a lower-energy future."
Hopkins moved to Totnes, a town in southwestern England, and launched the first official Transition Town. He rallied people to devise an "energy descent plan"— which has become the core of the Transition movement—for scaling back energy use, sourcing food and other goods closer to home, and otherwise aiming for local sustainability.
Hopkins' Handbook argues that these steps are essential to avoid undermining the planet's ability to support humanity, regardless of when the effects of peak oil kick in.
But these efforts could also strengthen communities and improve people's daily lives. There's no downside to eating fresher food, getting to know our neighbors, and avoiding maddening commutes. Those are all solid preparation for energy and food shortages, economic shocks, and climate tempests to come—and they may help us avoid such a bleak future.
Transition Bristol
Mundy's party-loving enthusiasm seems infectious. Transition Montpelier, Mundy's local group, has been in many ways the most successful in and around Bristol. Besides organizing street parties, they're growing food in allotments—city-owned garden plots that people can sign up to use—and in planters they're building along the streets. They're assembling a buyer's group to build their own renewable power mini-grid, getting solar panels for the neighborhood at a discount, and then divvying up the electricity. And they're devising their own local currency for Bristol, to support local businesses and strengthen the whole local economy by keeping money circulating in the community.
It's no surprise that, in 2007, Bristol became the first large city to start the Transition process—it was the 11th official Transition group—it's regarded as one of the country's greenest places. A progressive city near the ocean, its hills are dotted with pastel Victorians. In its neighborhoods, the main streets feature organic food shops and cafes serving fair trade coffees. The city council's sustainability office is in a revamped, energy- efficient, former tobacco warehouse, and out front they have a model home that's hyper-efficient.
"You can have lots of people who understand how to do stuff–gardening, home energy saving, bicycle repairs … but the magic lies in helping communities get together."
More than a dozen Transition groups have sprung up in Bristol's neighborhoods and surrounding villages, like Portishead and Clevedon. "Our approach how to take Bristol through the Transition process … is to see the city as a network of villages," says Transition Bristol's official website. The approach seems to be taking off. Each neighborhood or village group has only a handful of core members, which makes meetings tractable and maintains a focus on a small part of the city that the members know well. A central group for Bristol, and another emerging for the wider area, are clearinghouses for experiences and coordinate efforts among smaller groups.
As of this writing, nearly 300 communities in more than a dozen countries have started their own Transition Town initiatives. The bulk are in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, but groups are also springing up in Portugal, Italy, Japan, and Chile.
Many have come to Transition groups on a path similar to Mundy's: They were worried about the environment and wanted to be sustainable, but they didn't feel they were making much of a difference. Now, instead of worrying, they're actually doing something.
That's how it worked for Bill Roberts, a music teacher who's turned his whole backyard into a garden. He started a Transition initiative in his village, Long Ashton, on the outskirts of Bristol. "I thought for years of joining my local Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth, but I never did," Roberts says. Those organizations, he says, are "really top-down."
But Transition is "bottom-up," Roberts says. For him, that makes all the difference, putting "the importance and power of it at the community level." When he first heard about Transition Towns, he "found it very inspiring—that to be green, we could actually have a better life."
A local book publisher is letting the Long Ashton group use a piece of land to start a community vegetable garden. When they wanted to break the sod, a Conservative Party district councilor brought his draft horses and plowed the plot. It was tough work, even for the stout horses, but now Transition Long Ashton is planting crops and building a chicken coop.
Although these neighbors put in a lot of effort to create this garden, they enjoyed it, Roberts says. It's the same feeling that reeled him in to the Transition movement in the first place. "It's not that you give something," he says. "It's that you're coming together and you get something."

Palatine residents will reopen Brandt's
A longtime Palatine staple won't be going to the auction block, after all.
New owners Walt Oswald and Jim Iuorio stepped up and purchased the struggling Brandt's Little Cafe, located at the southwest corner of Northwest Highway and Quentin Road. They hope to re-brand, refurbish and reopen the burger and rib joint next month as Brandt's of Palatine.
"We both love Brandt's and didn't want to see it go away," Oswald said. "It would be a shame to see a bank on the corner, so we going to rejuvenate it, get some folks back and make this a place we can all be proud of."
Oswald and Iuorio closed on the acquisition, and closed Brandt's doors, last week. They went before the Palatine village council Monday night for approval of the special use and liquor license required to operate the restaurant and bar.
The property has been "neglected," Oswald said, so a fair amount of work needs to be done to get the building up to code. The new owners will pave the gravel driveway, stabilize the existing deck and update the kitchen. The pair also will demolish the adjacent house and garage and construct an outdoor dining deck.
It's a different kind of venture for Oswald and Iuorio, both longtime Palatine residents with corporate backgrounds. Oswald is the former chief information officer of Motorola Mobility and was among the executives to leave when the company was acquired by Google. Iuorio is an options trader who makes regular appearances on CNBC.
"It's sort of a new thing for both of us, but the timing is right," Oswald said. "It's really about our love for this place."
The property had entered foreclosure proceedings, and an auction had been scheduled at an earlier date but postponed.
Oswald and Iuorio said they don't plan to change much of the menu or the decor, lest Brandt's lose its charm. According to old Daily Herald reports, the gray stone building was originally an Inverness farmhouse dating back about 130 years. The building was moved to what's now 807 W. Northwest Highway in the 1920s.
Brandt's, which opened more than 65 years ago and relocated to its current home in 1968, was in former owner George Grisco's family for three generations. He worked to reopen the three-level eatery after a 2002 fire closed it for several months. Grisco couldn't be reached for comment.

If you and I are even a little alike, then you love a good story. The kind where you see a bit of yourself in the characters and good prevails over tremendous adversity. I can't help but think back to the mid 70's, sitting with my friends at the Arcada Theater in St Charles Il., watching Star Wars for the 1st time. Even though the special effects were amazing, the real power of that film was and still is in the story. Luke Skywalker and his comrades conquer evil and save the day. The lightsaber duels, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter scenes, and amazing THX sound were all simply enhancements to a fantastic story.
Clearly, Jesus knew the power of a good story to communicate deeper truths about Himself and His love for you and me. The four gospels in the new testament of the Bible are a collection of the stories that Jesus told, and by all accounts a lot of people listened intently.
The reason I bring this up is to remind you that YOU have a story as well. The ups and downs of your life, the ways you've struggled and found victory, the big ways and the small ways that God has guided you on this journey… it all makes a great story, if you're willing to share it. Your story, even if it's not finished and the victory hasn't come quite yet, can be a moment of peace and hope for another SPIRIT 105.3 family member.
At SPIRIT 105.3, our hope is to be good story tellers. We want to share with western Washington and the world the news that Jesus came, died for us, and rose again. We also want to share that he continues to tell that story in many different ways through each of us. Will you join us, by sharing your story? I promise someone needs to hear it today. Please share your story by sending us an email, comment on our Facebook wall or call directly at 1-877-ASK-1053.

Are you a dog person or a cat person?
"Dog people" and "cat people" have different personality traits, according to a recent research questionnaire.
Dog people tend to be more social and outgoing, while cat people tend to be more neurotic but "open," which means creative, philosophical, or nontraditional in this context, says a CNN.com article on the questionnaire.
A team of researchers led by psychologist Sam Gosling at the University of Texas at Austin posted the questionnaire online as part of a larger study about personality called the Gosling-Potter Internet Personality Project.
About 4,500 participants answered questions that measured their personality inclinations in five areas: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. They also indicated whether they considered themselves cat people, dog people, both or neither.
Dog people scored significantly higher on extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness measures, and lower on neuroticism and openness than cat people, the survey found. The effect persisted regardless of gender of the respondent.
To love cats, you have to be able to love things for themselves; they have their own life, they aren't necessarily dependent on you. Your dog kind of lives for you, the CNN.com article said.
Another study finds that nearly half of people who have acquired unsterilized pets in the last year haven't fixed them.
The survey, commissioned by PetSmart Charities, sampled 3,000 adults, including 1,000 who have acquired a dog or cat in the past 12 months.
According to an article in the Los Angeles Times, the survey is an effort to understand factors contributing to continued pet overpopulation, which results in an estimated 4 million to 6 million shelter animals being euthanized each year.
Key findings:
— 48 percent Of the unsterilized dogs and cats acquired in the past year still haven't been sterilized.
— 38 percent of 18- to 34-year-olds haven't sterilized their pets, vs. 24 percent of 55-plus owners.
— 13 percent of dog owners and 19 percent of cat owners have wound up with litters, more than half of them unintentional.
Colorado law requires that all animals adopted from shelters be sterilized.
The Denver-based American Humane Association is part of the Animal Relief Coalition for Haiti (ARCH), an international group of professional animal welfare organizations committed to aiding animals in the earthquake-stricken region.
American Humane is the first organization to join and commit significant resources to ARCH, which was created by the World Society for the Protection of Animals and the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
Currently, this international coalition is preparing a mobile animal clinic and staff to perform outreach work in Haiti, with training provided by ARCH. The coalition also will be assessing and assisting with the needs of animals belonging to people displaced by the disaster, as they move into temporary camps. Plans include providing food and clean water, as well as vaccinating companion animals against rabies.
People who want to support these efforts and help other animals in disasters can donate at www.americanhumane.org/aes-donate.
Pet owners who are serious about pet-proofing their home should start with their own medicine cabinet, says the Minneapolis-based Pet Poison Helpline.
Here's a list of the top 10 human medications most frequently ingested by pets.
1. NSAIDs (e.g. Advil, Aleve and Motrin)
Even one or two pills can cause serious harm to a pet. Dogs, cats, birds and other small mammals (ferrets, gerbils and hamsters) may develop serious stomach and intestinal ulcers as well as kidney failure.
2. Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol)
One regular strength tablet of acetaminophen may cause damage to a cat's red blood cells, limiting their ability to carry oxygen. In dogs, acetaminophen leads to liver failure and, in large doses, red blood cell damage.
3. Antidepressants (e.g. Effexor, Cymbalta, Prozac, Lexapro)
While these antidepressant drugs are occasionally used in pets, overdoses can lead to serious neurological problems such as sedation, incoordination, tremors and seizures. Some antidepressants also have a stimulant effect leading to a dangerously elevated heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature.
4. ADD/ADHD medications (e.g. Concerta, Adderall, Ritalin)
Even minimal ingestion of these medications by pets can cause life-threatening tremors, seizures, elevated body temperatures and heart problems.
5. Benzodiazepines and sleep aids (e.g. Xanax, Klonopin, Ambien, Lunesta)
About half of the dogs who ingest sleep aids become agitated instead of sedate. In addition, these drugs may cause severe lethargy, incoordination (including walking "drunk"), and slowed breathing in pets. In cats, some forms of benzodiazepines can cause liver failure when ingested.
6. Birth control (e.g. estrogen, estradiol, progesterone)
Large ingestion of estrogen and estradiol can cause bone marrow suppression, particularly in birds. Additionally, female pets that are intact (not spayed), are at an increased risk of side effects from estrogen poisoning.
7. ACE Inhibitors (e.g. Zestril, Altace)
Though overdoses can cause low blood pressure, dizziness and weakness, this category of medication is typically quite safe. Pets ingesting small amounts of this medication can potentially be monitored at home, unless they have kidney failure or heart disease. All heart medications should be kept out of reach of pets.
8. Beta-blockers (e.g. Tenormin, Toprol, Coreg)
Small ingestions of these drugs may cause serious poisoning in pets. Overdoses can cause life-threatening decreases in blood pressure and a very slow heart rate.
9. Thyroid hormones (e.g. Armour desiccated thyroid, Synthroid)
Large acute overdoses in cats and dogs can cause muscle tremors, nervousness, panting, a rapid heart rate and aggression.
10. Cholesterol-lowering agents (e.g. Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor)
Thankfully, most "statin" ingestions only cause mild vomiting or diarrhea.
Pet Poison Helpline is a service available 24 hours, seven days a week for pet owners, veterinarians and veterinary technicians that require assistance treating a potentially poisoned pet. Staff can provide treatment advice for poisoning cases of all species. The helpline's fee is $35 per incident.Contact: 1-800-213-6680. Additional information can be found online at www.petpoisonhelpline.com.

Discovering Trig Identities (Day 3 of 4)
Lesson 3 of 16
Objective: SWBAT visualize and interpret the trigonometric identities with a focus today on the co-function identities.
Big Idea: Students use TI-Nspire calculators to develop their own understandings of what trigonometric identities are and why they work.
The Warm Up question asks students to recall an algebraic identity. Obviously, there are the standard algebraic identities (like binomial expansion), but most of my students will not come up with those. It is important for students to continue to reflect on the concept of an identity: what makes an identity an identity (MP7). At this point, I expect that my students will apply their working knowledge of identities, recall some examples, and make up some identities, for example x+x=2x.
Teacher's Note: My intention is that each of my students will complete this lesson using their own calculator. It is important that students are able to see the calculator clearly. The lessons works best when students can work through the problems at their own pace. However, I would encourage open communication within teams. I encourage my students to ask each other for help with the calculator and to seek clarification on questions if they are unsure.

Resources (1)
As a closure to today's lesson have students complete the third page in their Trig Identities book with the co-function identities. I ran this similar to yesterday's lesson. I facilitated a whole class discussion of the findings by having students raise their hands to share their answers. Then, I clearly wrote out the co-function identities on the board to ensure all students are copying them correctly.
If students still don't seem to be grasping the co-function identities and I have sufficient time remaining in the period, I will ask my students to find the sine of a 60 degree angle and the cosine of a 30 degree angle using a special triangle. This practice will help to solidify student understanding of the identities covered in today's lesson (MP2).
Finally, I had students attempt the last question on the flipchart. Again, this is just a preview question. In my classes, many students were not able to answer it correctly. I plan to address these missed preview questions on day 5 after our discovery of the trig identities is complete.

Today I will assign Trig Equations Homework 2.
Or here is a word version if you prefer to edit anything: Trig Equations Homework 2.

This Mediterranean Vegan Dip will literally give other dips envy. Even the hummus will struggle with competing for attention when this vegan dip is around. Football season is right around the corner and that means there will be anendless craving for something to dip homemade tortilla chips into around here, My normal go-to dip is Mexican Layer Dip, but I've been wantingsomething differently lately. Plus, anytime I can convince Dave to try something new, I jump on it! This dip is vegan, gluten free, and pretty simple to make if you have a food processor.
There are actually two layers of flavor in this vegan dip and you could totally use store bought hummus for the bottom layer if you are pressed for time! I always have a few cans of organic chickpeas on hand, and homemade hummus only takes about 2 minutes to make!This hummus issmokey with the addition of smoked paprika which pairs so perfectly with the baba ganoush. Dave can never seem to be able to pronounce baba ganoush or remember what it's called so it's quite hilarious when he tries to ask me to make this dish for him. Hence the Mediterranean Vegan Dip title 🙂
Have you ever tried baba ganoush before? Well I became absolutely obsessed with it about 7 years ago. When I first started working in public accounting, the hours were pretty intense, sometimes we would work 15+ hour days. That of course meant I was eating almost all my meals at the office. Luckily we had a Pita Pit downstairs that stayed open pretty late. I would order baba ganoush pita at least 2times a week and it was the highlight of my day. Even after that many pitas, I never got tired of the flavor!

"We are proud to announce two new materials to add to our portfolio under the ever-expanding Polymaker Industrial repertoire," Polymaker's Marketing Manager Luke Taylor told 3DPrint.com. "Both these new materials are made using Covestro'sTPU resin and have been modified by Polymaker for certain mechanical characteristics. Both materials are quite different from currently available TPU's on the market which we often associate with flexible materials. These new materials are much stiffer and therefore can print much easier and faster than flexible filaments while still displaying excellent toughness and layer adhesion."
The newhigh-performance plastic U1000 and U0174D 3D printing materials are both available in thePolymaker Industrial family, which offers strong, industrial-grade 3D printing materials for multiple industries, such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and general manufacturing.
"We are very pleased to work with Polymaker, a rising star in the 3D printing industry.Their commitment to innovation and quality matches the values of Covestro, and we look forward to doing more exciting projects together in the future," saidYvonne Wang, Business Development Manager for Additive Manufacturing at Covestro.

courses, for drivers of all experience and skill level. Contact us for more details.
The purpose of ARC is to provide unique training to new and experienced drivers or riders of Ontario. Our advanced training courses have until now not been available in Canada. ARC was created based on advanced driving and riding techniques taught in the United Kingdom by the police and the Institute of Advanced Motorists.
Origins of ARC
I moved to Canada in 2004 from the United Kingdom. My UK licence was not accepted so I had to retake my motorcycle and AZ exams. After completing my motorcycle M1, and M2 Exit, I searched for advanced training courses that were available here in Ontario. Not racing schools or stunt schools but advanced road riding techniques – the type that keep motorcyclists safe on the road. But none existed! ARC arose from a gap in the training system. There is a need and a want for additional advanced training once you've received your licence.
This is just the beginning of the story: ARC now as a full complement of courses in G, M, and AZ licence classes – for all level of drivers, from beginner to Defensive Driving and Advanced Defensive Driving. All course are based on my original principle: bringing advanced driving techniques to Ontario drivers. We are committed to changing the conversation about how Ontario learns to drive – passing your G, M, or AZ licence is only the beginning of a lifetime of safe, confident driving.

With plush ping pong balls, crinkly cup, and durable ballistic nylon seams, your pup will definitely remember all the fun they had the next morning.
Zero absolutely loves this toy. I got it for him because he loved the clam and pearls. He likes this one even better! He loves the crunchy cup and can't get enough of squeaking the balls (seriously, squeaks for days). It's ridiculous and adorable.
Jack loves these! So much fun!
Bark pongs the BEST!!

US students to visit India for IT projects
Eighteen students from the University of Michigan US will spend eight weeks in India in the summer of 2014 to work on various information technology projects.
They will be going to India under the Global Information Engagement Programme of the university's School of Information, according to a university statement.
The programme has been granted $1.8 million by the university provost's office.
"The School of Information has strong ties with India, and our new Global Information Engagement Programme will allow our students to strengthen that bond with hands-on experience, solving problems and serving the global community even before they graduate," Jeffrey MacKie-Mason, dean of the School of Information, said.
Among the projects the students will work on are a smartphone application to book train tickets for Mumbai local trains, a language learning application for deaf students in India, and an online repository for consultation for human rights for a Bangalore lawyers collective.
The selected students will self-organise into groups of two to four. Though they will primarily come from the School of Information, the teams are allowed to recruit graduate students from other university programmes to round out skill sets, the statement said.
"Once the student groups choose their projects, we will work with each team so they will have a customised training programme tailored to their projects," Joyojeet Pal, an In
"Before the students go to India, they would have already studied the problem for a few months," he said.

Parkview to pay up to half of SR 205 local match
A formal agreement between Parkview Health System Inc. and Columbia City for a financial contribution to the local match for the state Route 205 project is now in place.
The city council voted 4-1 Tuesday to accept up to $356,903 from Parkview for half of the local match for the planned multi-million project on state Route 205 in coming years.
Columbia City's share of that match, also up to $356,903, comes from the engineering contract the city entered into with American Structure Point Inc. for $451,855.
The city's payment for the contract came from unspent money incumbered from last year in the professional business account and rainy day fund.
"It's intended for economic development," Columbia City Mayor Jim Fleck said of the funds.
Without the project, the cost to the city to supply Parkview Whitley Hospital with utilities would be more than $600,000, according to Fleck.
The lone vote against the agreement with Parkview came from council member Don Sexton, who objected to a phrase in the agreement that said the city and Parkview have "determined that additional improvements to state Route 205 would be of benefit to the city."
"This is not a necessary project," Sexton said, and added that he was also unaware of any official vote by the city council to say that the project would be of benefit.
A quick, informal vote was held where all members but Sexton voted that the project will benefit the city.
For council member Dan Weigold, safety at the entrance to Morsches Park is an important factor for the project.
The entrance to Morsches Park will shift east and align with Towerview Drive for a four-way intersection with turn lanes.
"We might as well fight for some of that tax money to come back to our state," Weigold said of the $3.2 million in federal grants and a $500,000 Congressional earmark for the project.
A frontage road will connect to Morsches Park and offer access to Little Turtle Woods.
Fleck said an entrance to the woods built by the city without grant funds as part of the state Route 205 project could easily cost $1 million.
Weigold also said he felt the city had been financially responsible with the project, especially after plans were changed from a divided boulevard to a regular highway with turn lanes.
Aside from the park entrance, council member Nicole Penrod said she feels traffic congestion will be a problem at the entrance to the hospital.
Sexton also felt a public hearing planned in January would be worthless for input on the need for the project after Fleck said the project is "going to happen."
A representative from American Structure Point said all concerns of the public will be addressed at the hearing.
The city's board of works handling the payments for the engineering work also irks Sexton, who feels the city council should have more control of, and information about, the project.
Since board of works meetings are public meetings, city council president Walt Crowder said it was Sexton's fault alone if he was not aware of the project's details.
Aside from his own view, Sexton said the constituents he talks with are against the project.
"All two of them?" Fleck countered.
The environmental study for the project is still being reviewed by the Indiana Department of Transportation and must be finished before work can begin in 2012.
Soil samples under the current highway will be done in the near future, the results of which will determine how much road bed rebuilding will need to be done when construction begins.
Funding for the roughly $4 million project comes from $3.2 million in federal grants that require a 20 percent match from the city.
A Congressional earmark for $500,000 requires no payback or match from the city.
Those funding sources, coupled with the $713,803 in local funds will pay for the project.

On staff since October 1996
Children's Title: Fellowship Program Director; Bushnell, Towne and Wilkerson Endowed Chair in Pediatric Neuroblastoma
Academic Title: Professor of Pediatrics, UW School of Medicine; Associate, Clinical Research Division, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
Research Center: Center for Clinical and Translational Research
Julie R. Park, MD, is attending physician at Seattle Childrens Hospital, professor in pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine and associate in the Clinical Research Division at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center (FHCRC). She is director of the pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship at the University of Washington.
Park is an active member of the Childrens Oncology Group Consortium and as chair of the COG Neuroblastoma Scientific Committee provides leadership for the development of neuroblastoma clinical research within COG. Dr. Parks primary research focus has been investigating novel therapies for the treatment of high-risk neuroblastoma, a rare but aggressive form of childhood cancer. She has conducted a multi-center clinical trial to determine the feasibility and toxicity of a novel induction chemotherapy regimen for high risk neuroblastoma and has collaborated with local and national investigators to optimize the use of radiation therapy as part of treatment for neuroblastoma. Dr. Parks work has led to her development of the current national randomized phase III trial within COG for treatment of newly diagnosed high-risk neuroblastoma.. Dr. Park has ongoing collaborations with Dr. Jensen to develop adoptive immunotherapy approaches for neuroblastoma. Dr. Park also leads the Advanced Therapeutics Program at Seattle Childrens Hospital and has steered Seattle Childrens into becoming a leading participant in the Phase I Consortium of COG and the New Approaches to Neuroblastoma Therapy Consortium. She has been actively involved in the development of novel chemotherapeutic agents that may block critical tumor cell pathways necessary for tumor cell growth and survival.
We helped show that two stem cell transplants, plus immunotherapy, significantly increased survival for children with high-risk neuroblastoma. ... cont.
Dr. Park is my daughter's Doctor. Just saying those words bring hope. I know Dr. Park is absolutely invested in saving children's lives and that she works tirelessly at finding new ways to do so. We may have traveled off the beaten path, where treatment for my daughter is concerned, but only to find that Dr. Park has laid pavement. Not sure what the outcome for my child will be, but I know that Dr. Park is doing all she can to save her. Thank you Dr. Park.
Dr. Park did a wonderful job in her medical treatment of my daughter! We began the journey full of fears and worries, and we are so fortunate to have had the best possible outcome. I firmly believe that much of this is due to Dr. Park's wealth of experience, close monitoring and her willingness to listen to my concerns. I always feel that my daughter's best interests are Dr. Park's primary concern, and she has always been very compassionate and caring towards me - even when I was having a hard time coming to grips with what was happening. Anyone who has Dr. Park as their child's oncologist is very lucky to have her!

The wet, dreary weather that has hung over south Louisiana almost non-stop since Jan. 8 came to a close Thursday as the sun put in a welcome appearance.
In Lafayette, measurements at the Lafayette Regional Airport totaled 10.33 inches from Jan. 1 through Jan. 15, which was 7.58 inches above normal. Temperatures were also 2.1 degrees higher than normal with an average monthly temperature of 54.1 degrees, according to information from the National Weather Service's Lake Charles office.
Normal is the 30-year average from 1981 through 2010.
In Baton Rouge, preliminary January information through Jan. 15 shows that rainfall at the Metro Airport measured 13.75 inches, which is 11.05 inches more than normal, according to information from the National Weather Service office in Slidell. Within that time period, there were six days when an inch or more of rain fell at the Baton Rouge airport.
"The normal amount at Baton Rouge for the first half of the month is two and three-quarters inches," Bob Wagner, meteorologist with that National Weather Service office in Slidell, said. "That certainly would put it in the range of being very unusual."
With only half of the month gone, Wagner said, this is already the second wettest January on record for the Baton Rouge area.
He said Baton Rouge needs only a little more than an inch of rain to exceed the record set in 1998, when 14.94 inches of rain was measured in Baton Rouge.
Although there have been a few colder days recently, the average temperature so far in Baton Rouge has measured 53.4 degrees which is actually 1.4 degrees above normal, according to the National Weather Service.
In New Orleans from Jan. 1 through Jan. 15, rainfall measured 5.39 inches at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, which is 2.93 inches more than normal. The average temperature so far was 56.6 degrees, which was 3.5 degrees warmer than normal, according to information from the National Weather Service.
Statewide, the week of Jan. 7 through Jan. 13 averaged 5.72 inches of rain, which is 4.37 inches above normal, according to the weekly weather study from Barry Keim, state climatologist. Statewide, the temperature averaged 57 degrees, which was 8 degrees above normal.
The dreary weather took a turn for the better Thursday, with sunny skies forecast and a high temperature forecast near 54 degrees, according to the National Weather Service forecast. The clear skies are expected to continue through at least Tuesday with even some high temperatures reaching the low 60s this weekend.
While the wet weather has meant localized flooding across south Louisiana, its impact on agricultural interests has been limited, fortunately, Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain said.
Although the wet weather occurred between the completion of the sugar harvest and the planting of other crops like corn and soybeans, he said, some farmers have had to incur the extra costs of using pumps to get water off their fields.
In addition, Strain said, the extra rainwater means filled-up crawfish ponds, raising concerns about crawfish escaping the ponds or that the high water could last long enough to kill vegetation in the ponds which the crawfish need, he said.
Hopefully, the drier weather in the coming week will help alleviate some of those concerns, Strain said. He said other crops like strawberries and vegetable crops also received a lot of water, but it doesn't appear that the damage is bad.
Some good news is that the temperature hasn't fallen to freezing, so that helps nurseries, strawberry and vegetable crops and the state's citrus growers, Strain said.

What is a Form 1099-R? (View sample form)
The Form 1099-R is used to show distribution from retirement accounts. This form can be used to report distributions from:
SIMPLE Plans
Form 1099-R will usually show items such as the gross amount of the distribution, the taxable amount (what is actually going to be taxed), tax withholding (federal and state), and a distribution code (box 7) to show why you received the distribution.
If you do not have an amount for the taxable amount (box 2a), this DOES NOT mean that it is not taxable. Instead, it means that the payer didn't have enough information to determine how much the taxable amount should be. In this case, you have to figure the taxable amount yourself. In most cases, you will need to use the Simplified Method Worksheet to determine the taxable amount.

Friends of the High Line moved offices last month, and our new West Chelsea digs are a bit further from the subway. I've been using my morning and evening commute to get to know our new neighborhood.
Our new office is just west of the Chelsea Historic District [PDF], where the beautiful Greek Revival townhouses of Cushman Row encourage pedestrians to stop and smell the proverbial roses. Or in this case, the literal ones.
This photo, taken yesterday, shows the roses that are now blooming along the gates of the General Theological Seminary on 20th Street. The gothic-looking Seminary, built on land donated by Clement Clarke Moore, is a beautiful oasis of greenery, and a great place to check out if you're in the neighborhood.

No bibliography of the subject as a whole exists. Two useful lists of books are the bibliography on pp. 471494 of the Dictionary of Indian Biography by Buckland, C. E., 1906, and that on pp. xxvii-xlvii of Hobson-Jobson, by Yule and Burnett, 1886.
The India Office Library Catalogue is not as useful as it might be. The librarys collection of Anglo-Indian writings, especially early editions, leaves much to be desired.
The Calcutta Review, especially in its earlier years, contains valuable notices of many Anglo-Indian writers, but it does not begin before 1844. A Sketch of Anglo-Indian Literature by Oaten, E. F., 1908, contains a brief account of Anglo-Indian fiction, poetry and belles lettres, with a list of books. Chapter XV of A Literary History of India (The Fusing Point of Old and New), by Frazer, R. W., 1898, contains an account of the progress of English as a language for Indian writers. Sketches of Some Distinguished Anglo-Indians by Laurie, W. F. B., 1877, contains an account of Anglo-Indian periodical literature. Separate lives have been written of many of the writers of the above list.

All this talk about stereotypes can get you thinking. Perhaps some stereotypes reflect actual differences. Take color vision, for example: men often refer to themselves as "color-impaired," letting the women in their lives make home design decisions and even asking them to match clothing for them. Maybe they're just behaving in accordance with traditional stereotypes … but maybe there's something more to it.
In the 1980s, vision researchers began to find some real physical differences between the eyes of many women and those of most men. "Normal" color vision is possible because we have three different types of cone cells in our eyes, each of which responds to a different wavelength of light. The process is basically the reverse of how a TV set or computer monitor works: on a TV, there are three different colored dots—red, green, and blue—and the millions of "colors" we see are based on mixtures of different proportions of those colors. In the eye, cone cells can have three different photopigments. These are usually generalized as red, green, and blue, but their actual values are closer to yellowish green, green, and bluish violet. To avoid confusion, psychologists typically refer to them to long-, medium, and short-wavelength sensitive cones. Supposing we're looking at a yellowish-green thing, the long-wavelength cones are stimulated the most, the medium-wavelength cones are stimulated a bit, and the short-wavelength cones are not stimulated at all, and the appropriate signal is sent along the optic nerve to the brain, which then recognizes the color as "yellowish-green."
What the researchers were finding when they actually looked at the structure of the eye is that many women—perhaps over fifty percent—possessed a fourth photopigment. Was this merely a genetic anomaly? Would the brain even be able to process this fourth input? The early research suggested that it would not. Women were no better at determining whether two very similar color patches were actually the same. They were only slightly better than men at detecting subtle spots of red light, a fact researchers attributed to individual difference.
However, Kimberly Jameson, Susan Highnote, and Linda Wasserman were not convinced by this evidence. Five- and six-year-old girls are better at naming colors than boys, and grown men are not as good at color-naming compared to women. They felt the existing measures of color sensitivity and color-matching did not capture all the differences between men and women, and devised a new experiment that they felt was more representative of real-world vision.
It's quite difficult to examine an eye to determine if it has the fourth photopigment—the process generally involves removing the eye itself. Jameson and her colleagues might have had just a bit of difficulty recruiting volunteers to participate in an experiment requiring such extreme measures, so instead they used a genetic test to determine how many different photopigments participants were likely to possess (they estimate this process to be about 90 percent accurate—biologists will recognize this as the genotype versus phenotype problem). Of 64 participants in the study, 23 were women with 4 photopigments, 15 were women with 3 photopigments, 22 were men with 3 photopigments, and 4 were men with 2 photopigments (this is commonly called "color-blindness," but most people with 2 photopigments can still distinguish between many colors).
Next, participants viewed a spectrum projected on a lucite window covered with tracing paper. Over the next hour and a half, they performed an array of tasks, including marking the edges of the visible rainbow, marking the locations of the "best example" of each of the major colors, and marking the edges of each "band" of color in the rainbow. Between each task, a camera flash was set off to mask the previous spectrum example, and the experimenter mounted a new sheet of tracing paper on the panel.
The most compelling results came from the number of spectral bands task:
|Type of participant
Average number of spectral bands
Number of participants
|Four-pigment females
|Three-pigment females
|Three-pigment males and females
|Two-pigment males
Four-pigment females perceived significantly more bands of color than both three-pigment males and females. Further, three-pigment males and females are statistically indistinguishable, suggesting that the result is not due to some cultural difference between men and women.
So why were others unable to find significant results in a color-matching task when we see such dramatic results here? Jameson et al. suggest that there may be two (or more) different modes of seeing color, each processed differently in the brain. The brain may use the data from all four photopigments for some processes, but not for others. But this is still supposition. What's clear from this study is that the stereotype of women being better with color may reflect real differences between men and women.

Toll Gate can't get over the hump against Narragansett
The Toll Gate lacrosse team knew that the only chance it had to win its division was to beat Division III-South leading Narragansett on Tuesday.
But the Mariners had no intention of simply giving up first place.
Backed by two goals in the opening minutes, Narragansett never trailed and broke open a 4-3 game with two goals in the third quarter to knock off the Titans 6-3 on a rain-soaked afternoon.
The loss dropped Toll Gate to 8-3, while the Mariners clinched D-III-South by improving to 11-1. The Titans still have the third-best record in all of D-III, and can wrap up the No. 3 seed in the playoffs with one win in their final two games.
Yet, after putting a huge emphasis on beating Narragansett, Toll Gate was left feeling a little empty after coming up short.
"It was disappointing," Toll Gate head coach Mike Vadney said. "It was definitely disappointing."
The Titans had circled Tuesday's game on their calendar early in the season. They lost to Narragansett 4-3 in their first league game, back on April 4, and since then they knew that the road to a regular season division title would come down to knocking off the Mariners when the teams met again.
Toll Gate had gone 8-1 since losing that first game to Narragansett – with its only loss coming to undefeated Smithfield – and it was excited for another chance to beat one of the top teams.
The Mariners curbed that excitement quickly.
Off the opening draw of the game, Narragansett advanced the ball into Toll Gate's zone, and Zachary Humulock made a move on the right side to get some space before rocketing a shot past Titans' goalie Josh Giarrantano.
On the ensuing draw, Narragansett again came away with the ball. After a long Mariners possession, Giarrantano made a save but turned the ball over while throwing it to the other side of the field. The Mariners grabbed possession, came right back into Toll Gate's zone and scored again when Matthew McGreen fired a low shot into the goal.
Not even two minutes into the game, it was already 2-0 Narragansett.
"Tough with two goals down off the start, just to get a roll going," Vadney said. "I think their offense kind of threw our defense off. Just a lot of motion, and we haven't seen that much. The only other club that really runs a good motion offense is Smithfield."
The score ballooned to 3-0 a few minutes later, as McGreen scored his second goal of the game after he ran around the right side of the net and tossed it in.
Toll Gate finally got on the board with time winding down in the first, as Max Lupovitz threw a pass from right to left across the face of the goal onto the stick of Kyle Ellis, who beat Narragansett goalie Mitchell Kennedy to make the score 3-1 after one quarter.
In the second, after Giarrantano made several nice saves to keep Narragansett out of the goal, the Titans got within one when Kevin Vittum found a cutting Connor Bailey wide open in front of the net. Bailey scored, and suddenly it was 3-2.
But just 10 seconds later, Narragansett regained its two-goal lead when Giarrantano tried to challenge Robert Pratt on the right side, and Pratt threw it around him for the score.
Toll Gate opened the third with a goal from Vittum to make the score 4-3, and it looked to be gaining momentum. But with 3:58 left, Pratt scored for the Mariners, and 18 seconds later McGreen scored his third of the game to push the lead to 6-3.
The Titans had no answer for the rest of the quarter, barely even moving the ball into Narragansett's end.
"Offensively, you can't blame everything on field conditions, but we just didn't get into our rhythm, and it's tough," Vadney said. "Going into this game I was telling these guys, 'This is important, we've got to have this game.' Unfortunately, today it didn't go our way."
In the fourth quarter, Toll Gate got a golden opportunity. Two Narragansett players were whistled for unnecessary roughness penalties, giving the Titans four minutes on the man-advantage.
Because the penalties were locked, Toll Gate could have scored and the players would have had to remain in the box. Instead, though, Narragansett buckled down.
Ellis got a shot off in the first minute of the penalty time, and Anthony Zelano took one soon after, but the Titans really struggled to get anything going.
Before long, the four minutes had gone by without Toll Gate scoring at all.
"We had four minutes locked in where we could have just unloaded," Vadney said. "Once that happened…I can't even put thoughts on it."
That being said, Narragansett's defense had as much to do with Toll Gate's offensive struggles as the Titans themselves did. Led by Connor Timpson, Matthew Storti and Patrick Degnan, as well as Kennedy in net, the Mariners were stingy all night.
"They're a good defensive team, and I give coach [Mark] Chafee a lot of credit," Vadney said. "He's definitely defensive-minded, and we just couldn't get our shots. Their goaltender played a hell of game."
From there on out, the Mariners controlled play. Toll Gate was whistled for two penalties, hurting their chances of getting back in the game, and the clock ticked down to zero without the Titans finding the net for the last 21:24 of playing time.
"Hopefully we'll just use this as a learning experience and try to go from there," Vadney said.
Toll Gate was scheduled to host 6-5 Coventry on Wednesday before finishing the season at 1-11 Westerly on Friday.
The playoffs are set to begin next Thursday, May 24.

1. Re: splitting and tiling in IllustratorWade_Zimmerman Jul 10, 2009 7:10 AM (in response to RCFMitch)1 person found this helpful
you create your document to size it will be when pasted together. Then you go to View>Show Tiling so you cane see the tiling
then you go to the print dialog and a select a paper size one that divides the document evenly vertically and horizontally it should be smaller than the actually paper you will be printing it on, oh yes make certain you have adobe pdf selected as the printer.
Then you will see the tiling in the print you may have to make a custom page size in the page set up with no borders to get the tiling to work.
then turn on trim marks in the print dialog. then print to pdf and you will have end up with a multipage pdf. It does sometimes require a little adjustment as everything has to be consider the page size must divide the page evenly and no borders are probably also require to prevent the tile from displacing.

Yes! Unless you want to try and cut it up and do it one piece at a
time. that way you can even give it overlap.

Your artboard should be the size of your finished poster - what-ever you want - and artwork created at 100%.
Go to print and select the paper size that you want to print on - say A4 - and select "tile full pages". You can then specify an overlap if you want it.
Alternatively select "tile imagable areas". That way you get no overlap and simply trim to the edge of the art (which will be your printer's imagable area for the selected paper size.

Page tilling works, also there is a free software to do that. give it a try and tell me...

I don't understand why you need software to do this - doesn't the
print dialogue do it anyway?

This thread is old but I'm adding this in case someone's search points them here.
It's odd that Illustrator doesn't provide cut marks when tiling, but here are the 2 viable workarounds I'm aware of:
- Open the Illustrator file in Acrobat and print from there. Just select the "Tile Large Pages" option from the "Paper Scaling" menu in the print dialog box, then check the 'Cut Marks' box.
- Place your Illustrator EPS in InDesign and print with tiling option selected. InDesign also prints tiled pages with cut marks.
