This week's challenge: The owner of a 77-pound dachshund named Obie is blogging about her efforts to slim him down by 40 pounds. If she succeeds, we can probably expect a book.
What will be the name of a best-selling diet book for dogs?
Submit your entry using the form below or by sending your answer with your name, address and phone number to email@example.com. If submitting via email, please type "Doggie Diet" in the subject line.
Entries are due by 12 noon EDT on Sept. 19. All entries become property of NPR, which reserves the right to edit them. Entries submitted as comments on this Web page cannot be considered. In the case of several similar entries, the first one received gets credit.
The winner will be announced on All Things Considered on Sept. 24. The first-prize winner will receive an NPR mug.
Last week's challenge: What will be the name of the first chain restaurant in outer space?
Winner: "The Zero G's-cake Factory," Robyn Schrager, St. Louis
"A-pollo 13," Lark Reynolds, Simpsonville, S.C.
"The Abdominal Strain," Robert Cooper, Barrington, R.I.

Last week, we launched a humor contest here at ALL THINGS CONSIDERED called Another Thing Considered, Another Thing for short, with contest queen Lenore Skenazy. Lenore joins us now from New York. And, Lenore, we asked listeners to submit funny answers to a specific question and remind us what that question was.
LENORE SKENAZY: Oh, sure, Audie. It was: In light of the upcoming boon in space travel, what will be the name of the first chain restaurant in outer space?
CORNISH: All right. How many entries did we get?
SKENAZY: Amazingly, Audie, we got exactly 2,001.
CORNISH: Seriously?
SKENAZY: No.
SKENAZY: It's a humor contest. Now, we've got about 1,700. And do you mind if I read them all to you? I love them.
CORNISH: Yeah. No, probably not. I'm hoping you can lump them into certain categories, maybe.
SKENAZY: Yeah. There are some repeats, like, a whole lot of people made jokes like, gosh, everywhere you go up there, there's an EarthBucks.
SKENAZY: All right. And there were other chains. There was The Taco Belt, In-and-Waaaay Out Burger. You could read a few.
CORNISH: Let's see: Crater Joe's, Spock in the Box - that's a nice touch - and Mars Bar.
SKENAZY: Mm-hmm. U.V. Tuesday's - I love that - Carl Sagan's Jr...
CORNISH: Oh.
SKENAZY: ...Tang Dynasty, you know, like Tang?
CORNISH: I'm familiar with Tang.
SKENAZY: OK. There's another Chinese place: The Space Wok.
SKENAZY: Thank you.
CORNISH: We won't ask about the spelling there. Go on.
SKENAZY: No, no, no. And there's the IHOP.
CORNISH: And I'm guessing that's not International House of Pancakes.
SKENAZY: No, no. It's intergalactic.
CORNISH: Aha. All right. Well, didn't anyone pay homage to the astronauts? I mean, with Neil Armstrong's death still in the news.
SKENAZY: Yeah. There was one entry, one small step for man, one giant leap for manwich.
CORNISH: Oh.
SKENAZY: And then there's a play on the restaurant El Pollo Loco. It's A-Pollo 13, sent in by Lark Reynolds of Simpsonville, South Carolina.
CORNISH: Ooh. So, is that the winner?
SKENAZY: Runner-up. But really, it was so hard to choose. Another runner-up was Robert Cooper of Barrington, Rhode Island, who sent in The Abdominal Strain.
CORNISH: Oh. No faith in the future of fast food, huh?
SKENAZY: That's what happens when you eat too many moon pies. For you alien fans, there's Five-Eyed Guys. That was my son's favorite. And from a Santa Cruz gal named Andrea Roth, there's Salad Bar Galactica.
CORNISH: Aha. OK. So - and the winner?
SKENAZY: The winner is...
SKENAZY: ...Robyn Schrager of St. Louis who sent in The ZERO G's-cake Factory.
CORNISH: OK. So did she get an NPR mug?
SKENAZY: Oh, she does indeed.
CORNISH: So with one week settled, what's our quiz for listeners to play next week?
SKENAZY: I was just reading The Daily News that there's a 77-pound dachshund named Obie - he looks like a manatee - who just got his own blog. You know, I mean, his owner started a blog about him that will chronicle her efforts to help him slim down by 40 pounds. And if it works, do I ever predict a book contract?
CORNISH: Of course.
SKENAZY: Of course. So this week's Another Thing question is...
SKENAZY: ...what will be the name of a best-selling diet book for dogs?
CORNISH: All right. And again, send your answers to us at email@example.com by Wednesday at noon, Eastern Time. Don't forget to include your address.
SKENAZY: OK. And the winner, of course, gets a mug or maybe an ALL THINGS CONSIDERED doggie dish so your overweight hound can lap it up. And again, that's firstname.lastname@example.com. Don't make me beg.
CORNISH: All right. Thanks to our contest queen Lenore Skenazy. Thanks, Lenore.
SKENAZY: Thanks, Audie. Bye-bye. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

New Jersey Legislature Passes Bill to Crack Down on the Sale of Elephant Ivory and Rhino Horns
Gov. Christie urged to sign legislation to protect elephants and rhinos
The New Jersey State Assembly passed crucial legislation to end New Jersey's contribution to the devastating international elephant ivory and rhino horn trades. The legislation passed the Senate unanimously and is now awaiting the governor's signature. If enacted, S.2012/A.3128, sponsored by Sen. Raymond J. Lesniak, D- District 20, and Assemblymember Raj Mukherji, would prohibit all sales and trade in rhino horns and ivory in the state. It will be the first such law passed by any U.S. state.
The Humane Society of the United States and its global affiliate, Humane Society International, urge Gov. Chris Christie to sign S.2012/ A.3128, into law. The legislation has broad support from New Jersey residents including more than a dozen antique businesses who submitted supporting testimony to the legislature. The bill passed 76-2.
Senate Economic Growth Chairman Raymond Lesniak, said: "New Jersey has a chance to be a global leader in elephant and rhino conservation by ending the ivory and rhino horn trade and setting an example for other states and nations to follow with the swift signing of this bill."
Kathleen Schatzmann, New Jersey state director for The HSUS said: "We applaud Senator Lesniak and Assemblymember Mukerji for their leadership in shutting down New Jersey's market for ivory and rhino horns. Their effort has catapulted New Jersey to the forefront of the national and global effort to save these imperiled animals. The passage of the bill today serves as a most appropriate tribute to Satao, one of Kenya's largest and iconic elephants killed by poachers for his tusks a few weeks ago. We urge swift signing of the bill."
Assemblymember Mukherji, remarked: "Terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda-affiliated Al-Shabaab, The Lord's Resistance Army, and Janjaweed are funding their operations with profits from poaching and the illegal ivory trade. With New Jersey ports serving as a hub for illegal wildlife trafficking and our proximity to New York City, the largest ivory buyer in the country, we as a Legislature needed to act now. Just two weeks ago, U.S. Attorney Fishman secured a lengthy federal sentence for the ringleader of a rhinoceros trafficking ring and pointed to the threat to the United States posed by the multibillion-dollar illegal wildlife market."
Mukherji added, "Ivory trafficking is at the highest rate ever recorded, and it is driving elephants and other endangered and threatened species toward extinction. By prohibiting sale and importation, this bill closes loopholes in ivory commerce and, coupled with federal law and recent U.S. Fish and Wildlife regulations, will take our state out of these nefarious activities."
- About 28,000 rhinos of five different species remain in the wild. More than 1,000 were poached last year for their horns
- About 35,000 African elephants were poached in 2012 for their ivory tusks. If the poaching rate continues, African elephants could be extinct in a few decades. In Central Africa, populations of forest elephants have declined by 65 percent during the last decade. Asian elephants are critically endangered with less than 50,000 left in the wild.
- New Jersey is a main point of entry for smuggled wildlife and adjacent to New York City, the largest market for ivory in the country. The bill would assist federal efforts to shut down the ivory and rhino horn trade by closing one of the nation's largest ports to this illegal wildlife trade.
- Criminal investigation by New Jersey state agencies and the federal government last year led to the prosecution of an international network of wildlife traffickers in rhino horns and ivory worth of several million dollars. The network's ringleader, Zhifei Li, was sentenced to 70 months in prison last month in a U.S. district court in New Jersey.
- Criminal networks and Africa-based terrorist groups engage in poaching and use the proceeds from the sales to fund their nefarious activities.

Two-alarm blaze in Seabrook triggers call for AG death investigation
March 27. 2014 1:32PM
SEABROOK - The Attorney General's Office was called in to investigate a two-alarm blaze in a mobile home on B Street.
Assistant attorney general Jeffery Strelzin confirmed late Thursday afternoon that they are involved in a "fire and death investigation" at the address.
The blaze at 50 B St. was reported at 10:11 a.m. Thursday and firefighters were on the scene four minutes later, according to Fire Capt. George Felch.
The home is located in a park of manufactured and mobile homes off Lafayette Road behind Uncle Hilde's Lumber Outlet and a strip mall containing the Honey Pot Bar and Lounge and Linda's Breakfast.
Mutual aid was called in from Hampton, and Amesbury, Mass., sent an ambulance to the scene.
Seabrook Fire Chief Everett Strangman said it took a little more than an hour to get the fire under control.
"Trailer fires are pretty hard to get under control due to the cramped conditions," Strangman said.

Teaching Philosophy
I am motivated to teach because I aspire to live and work with people who contribute to our community with discerning thought, integrity, and joie de vivre. To that end, three basic principles are embedded in my teaching: 1) developing creative, original and critical thinking skills through scientific inquiry and multi-modal application of information; 2) challenging students with high intellectual rigor; 3) facilitating students' development of personal integrity.
- BIOL 110 (NW) Principles of Biology
- BIOL 244 Physiological Dynamics in Animals and Plants
- BIOL 351 (W) Animal Physiology
Research Interests
My research program addresses the broad question of how hormones modulate behavior. I study clasping behavior by rough skin newts, Taricha granulosa, a locally abundant amphibian. In my lab, we use a variety of tools to ask questions about the fundamental principles by which hormones modulate the neurons that control behavior: electrophysiology, behavior, and imaging.

Hogs: Through Wednesday's run, the current kill is 79,000 head smaller than last week at this time. While you would expect some decline, as packers were making up for the Good Friday slowdown last week, this does reflect an artificially small number. Ice and snow lowered the South Dakota run. On top of that, the JBS Worthington, Minn., plant canceled both of its shifts Wednesday due to power outages. Along with weather issues, wholesale pork prices have not been able to keep up with the rally in cash hogs. In fact, none of the cash hog rally was made up for on the pork end.
Along with these short-term bearish issues, USDA raised its 2013 pork production estimate on Wednesday's supply/demand report by 130 million lbs. Their pork export number was reduced by 160 million pounds. These are the bearish facts at face value so far. Now, let's bring some common sense to this info.
We cannot discount the slowdown in slaughter this week. It is disappointing. However, we must point out the number of hogs showing up to the plant since March 1 has not met the recent Hogs and Pigs report numbers. If we are not meeting them now, perhaps they will also be short in the coming weeks. Second, USDA's pork production increase is just a reaction to the Hogs and Pigs report. Their estimate, of 1.1% higher than last year, has already been traded in the market. The third issue here, pork exports, is also not as bad as would seem. USDA's new export number is only 3% smaller than last year. Heck, the January and February numbers we have in hand are 14% lower. In other words, USDA expects the recent poor export pace to actually improve. At face value, we fully admit there are negatives in this market. Digging deeper into the actual facts here. we are not finding much to be panicked about.
There is one thing remaining here that does need to change to turn this market around: wholesale pork. We are not going to get that end lifted until the seasonal drop in supplies really takes hold (in the second half of the month). If that can happen, it would trigger a head-and-shoulders bottom formation on the charts. We will not go long futures until that formation is triggered (a close above 93.60)…Rich Nelson
Cattle: Cash cattle prices traded at $127 today. That was $1 to $1.50 lower than last week and likely confirms the spring high we have discussed here. A normal drop in prices, from the $128 spring high, would imply $113 summer lows. Summer futures are a full $7 over that price right now!
On Friday, we recommended cattle feeders to get cattle that will be marketed through September hedged up. That should be done. We have serious concern about downside prices in the next few months. Last night, we noted the only hole in our bearish summer theory.
Typically, major price moves require the help of managed money -- the funds. In recent weeks their net long position has been a puny 1,000 to 13,000 contracts. Normal for them is a net long of 40,000 to 60,000 contracts. To get our downside target reached, you would need to see them move to a net short position. That is a rare position…Rich Nelson

MIAMI (AP) — In one poster, Raul and Fidel Castro ride in a hot air balloon made of newspapers. Their fingers are plugged into their ears, drowning out any noise around them. A blue bird similar to the Twitter icon flies nearby, its beak threatening to punch a hole and send them to the ground.
In another, a Havana street is lined with banners hanging from streetlights.
"Citizen demand for another Cuba," the signs read. "Sign it now!"
The works are part of an exhibit held Saturday in Miami by State of SATS, an activist group attempting to foster civil society and stimulate discussion about Cuba's future. The group's leader, Antonio Rodiles, is in Miami to promote a campaign demanding that Cuba implement the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and ratify two United Nations covenants the government signed in 2008 protecting civil, political, social and economic rights.
The posters all contain the words "For Another Cuba" and were created by artists on the island and in the diaspora. The works were shown in Miami's Little Havana and will later be put on display at the State of SATS in Havana, which is operated out of Rodiles' house.
"The posters are part of a campaign including artists, musicians and citizens of all types," said Rodiles, 40, who earned a doctorate in physics from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and taught at Florida State University before returning to Cuba. "Caricatures and posters send very direct messages that sometimes words and analysis cannot."
Rodiles and other members of State of SATS are the most recent Cuban opposition leaders to travel abroad and share their work with the international community — and the large base of exiles in Miami — since Cuba eliminated its exit permit requirement in January
Blogger Yoani Sanchez, Berta Soler, co-founder of the Ladies in White group and Rosa Maria Paya, the daughter of Oswaldo Paya, a dissident killed in a car accident last year, all visited Miami in April.
All have vowed to return and continue their work on the communist island, unlike many who left after the 1959 revolution. These dissidents frequently say their future is not in another part of the world but in a different Cuba. They have been given human rights prizes and received with open arms by the exile community and Cuban-American politicians in Miami. It's unclear what conditions they'll face on their return, or even how far their message has spread in Cuba.
But at the very least, their visits have provoked a dialogue in Miami of Cubans from different waves of immigration. At the Saturday exhibit and panel discussion, many of those present were exiles who had left the island decades ago and never returned.
"People in Cuba know their rights and want change," Ailer Gonzalez, State of SATS' artistic director, told them. "But they don't know how."
State of SATS believes change can be provoked by building an independent civil society in Cuba, much like what occurred in Eastern Europe more than two decades ago. The group coordinates panels and lectures in Havana on topics like "Master Plan for a 21st Century Havana" and "The Media in Cuba Today." The events are all taped, burned onto DVDs for distribution and placed on YouTube, where some of their videos have received thousands of hits.
Rodiles said he doesn't know precisely how many people they reach, but a large enough number that he and others from the organization are sometimes recognized on the streets.
"We want Cuba to be a normal country, where we can talk among each other and change how we are living now," said Rodiles, who has the confident voice of a professor and dressed in a light blue collared shirt and a pair of khaki pants.
Part of the "For Another Cuba" campaign includes a petition that has been signed by more than 3,600 people asking for the Cuban government to ratify the United Nations Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. The accords were signed by Cuban officials but not ratified.
The text of the petition says the implementation of these accords would ensure respect for citizens regardless of their ideas and help in the formation of a free and plural Cuba.
"Our expectation of being heard by the government is almost exhausted, yet we have decided to bring the authorities this demand as an urgent recourse to achieve effective understanding," the petition states. "We are determined not to accept institutional silence in response to this demand for the ratification."
Saturday marked the group's first event in Miami, and it was attended by more than 100 people who gathered into a restaurant and bar called Cuba Ocho. Across the street is a walk of stars, similar to the one in Hollywood, featuring greats of Latin music and cinema, including a number of Cubans who died in exile.
Ley Martinez was one of the Cuban artists living in Miami who contributed to the exhibit. He displayed two posters, one featuring a man in a blue cap, smiling in front of the word "pluralism." In another, different scenes in Cuba, including one of a woman being arrested, are shown behind the words, "justice," ''democracy" and "liberty."
"I think it's in that order that much of the hurt in Cuba will be healed," he said.

A 26-year-old man was fatally shot Sunday in the 5600 block of West Bloomingdale Avenue in Austin, according to the Tribune. This was the 400th Chicago homicide of the year, RedEye determined.
A 22-year-old man was shot to death later Sunday in the 300 block of West 60th Place in Englewood, the Tribune reported.
Chicago reached 400 homicides in 2012 on Sept. 24 and in 2011 on Nov. 15.
Homicides are down 19 percent year-to-date compared to the same period in 2012 and 5 percent versus 2011.

I don't remember (I forgot) if quod had a use as a substitute for ut, but in this sentence quod seems to be set together with ita.
Cum vero animus se ita erigit quod requirit pupillam mali videre....tu eum citius in igne comburis cum volueris.
Is this ita... quod... meaning like ita... ut... ?
(requirit is indicative, so quod clause would be describing a result.

The pair was allegedly seen looking through an outbuilding window at a property on Whaley Road, Langwith, about 9pm, on Wednesday, April 9, with a torch.
A Derbyshire Constabulary spokesman said the owner of the property claimed to have observed three people near the outbuilding with a torch and he detained two of them.
Police arrested a 27 year-old man and a 15 year-old male, from the local area, on suspicion of attempted burglary and they were released on police bail pending further enquiries.
Witnesses or anyone with information about the incident are urged to call Derbyshire police on 101 or Crimestoppers in confidence on 0800 555 111.

Sadhana of Mahamudra
The Sadhana of Mahamudra is a tantric meditation practice open to the whole Shambhala community, performed on the new moon days of the lunar calendar. The practice consists of meditation and chants, and lasts about an hour.
We will start promptly at 6:00pm.
The Sadhana of Mahamudra was discovered as terma* by the Vidyadhara in 1968 while on retreat in Bhutan. Primarily a group tantric practice, this sadhana is practiced by students of all levels of experience at Shambhala Centers. As a sadhana that combines the Kagyu mahamudra tradition of Karma Pakshi with the Nyingma ati tradition of Dorje Trolo, this is a unique upaya ("skillful means") that speaks directly to overcoming the three lords of materialism of our current age. Its essential teaching is that the nature of the practice itself undercuts any ideas of spiritual materialism.
*These teachings are precious in many ways.
The Tibetan text is itself terma, and the translation was considered by the Vidyadhara to be terma because of the ease with which the English translation happened.. Terma are teachings that were concealed by the great Tibetan teacher Padmasambhava for the sake of future generations, and are rediscovered by a terton (a teacher able to find these teachings), at the auspicious time when they are needed. Such is the case of the Sadhana of Mahamudra, a teaching on overcoming obstacles and degraded spiritual practices in our time.

When I visited ErlangFactory/SF, John Hughes showed me how cool QuickCheck is, and it was obvious that it would be ideal for testing Erjang. Unfortunately QuviQ's excellent quickcheck for Erlang is closed source, so that posed a problem to really make use of it.
So ... I rolled my own Trifork QuickCheck hence forth known as
triq. It's far from as fancy as QuviQ's, but it's free; and it allows me to do some amazing tests none the less. The code for it is in the Erjang repo under
triq/src and it would be equally usable under either BEAM or Erjang of cause. It's undocumented but modelled after QuviQ's API.
If you're looking for an intro to QuickCheck look here.
Erjang/Beam Equivalence Tests
The really cool thing is that now distribution is off the ground in Erjang, we can write property tests and evaluate them both locally and remote (in a BEAM and an Erjang VM respectively), and validate that test results are equal. Very cool.
The property I'll use to show this is the equivalence of some random binary operators:
For any Erlang term A and B, and an operators OP in the set [
'++'], the result of evaluating the expression "A OP B" in BEAM and Erjang should be equal.
We'll use the fact that,
1 < 2 can be expressed as
apply(erlang,'<',[1,2]) for any operator. The function
prop_binop describes this property:
prop_binop() -> ?FORALL({A,B,OP}, {any(),any(), elements(['>', '<', '==', '=:=', '/=', '++'])}, begin Here = here(erlang,OP,[A,B]), There = there(erlang,OP,[A,B]), Here == There end).
The essence is very clear, I want to check that the binary operators yield the same results running on either BEAM VM or Erjang VM. The function
here(Mod,Fun,Args) is essentialy the same as
apply; and
there(Mod,Fun,Args) does
apply on a remote virtual machine using
rpc:call. I also need to do a little fiddling around with exceptions to be able to check that exceptions are equivalent. Here is the complete implementation of
there(Mod,Fun,Args) when is_atom(Mod), is_atom(Fun), is_list(Args) -> call(server(), Mod,Fun,Args). call(Node,Mod,Fun,Args) -> case rpc:call(Node, Mod,Fun,Args) of {badrpc,{'EXIT',{Reason,[FirstTraceElement|_]}}} -> {badrpc, {'EXIT',{Reason,[FirstTraceElement]}}}; Value -> Value end.
The exception stuff is there because many operators will fail, such appending two atoms:
(firstname.lastname@example.com)3> 'abc' ++ 'cde'. ** exception error: bad argument in operator ++/2 called as abc ++ cde
When this happens inside
rpc:call the resulting stack traces will be different and I'm really only interested in the top element of that stack trace.
Running the tests
To run a property test, you call
triq:check(Property); i.e.,
(firstname.lastname@example.com)1> triq:check(prop_binop()).
To run this for real, however, I need two nodes: one called
firstname.lastname@example.com and another one called
firstname.lastname@example.com, first I launch a blank Erjang VM, which will serve as the "remote" server in this setup.
prompt$ ./erl.sh -name 'email@example.com' -pa triq/ebin
Eshell V5.7.3 (abort with ^G)
That server knows all it needs to know to run some code; I'll use the
rpc module to talk to it. I make sure
triq is in it's load path.
Next, the fun begins. I'll launch a BEAM VM, which serves as the "client" in this setup. I pass it the name of the server using the flag
-other erjang.
prompt$ erl -other erjang -name beam -pa triq/ebin
Erlang R13B02 (erts-5.7.3) [source] [smp:2:2] [rq:2] [async-threads:0] [kernel-poll:false]
Eshell V5.7.3 (abort with ^G)
Let's run it, by calling
triq:check(Mod), which will pick up any functions in
Mod with a name that starts with
(firstname.lastname@example.com)1> triq:check(erjang_test).
Failed after 15 tests
{ A , B , OP } = {['\x80'],'','++'}
Oops! it failed. After some digging around, I realized that this was in fact a bug in the distribution code. An atom '\x80' (a single-byte atom with the byte 0x80) when passed forth and back beween the BEAM and Erjang it turns into '\xc4'!. Looks like a character conversion happening there; and sure enough, the Java code:
byte[] data = new byte[] { (byte) 0x80 };
String s = new String(data);
System.out.println(Integer.toHexString(s.charAt(0) & 0xff));
c4! Because the default charset on my Mac is not
iso-latin-1. So, I'll have to hunt that one down.
Anyway, I thought it was pretty cool.

Snooky Young
Jazz trumpeter in 'Tonight Show' band
Snooky Young, 92, a jazz trumpeter whose long career included working with big bands led by Jimmie Lunceford and Count Basie as well as a lengthy stint with NBC's "Tonight Show" band, died Wednesday at a residence in Newport Beach, said family friend William Selditz. The cause was complications from a lung disorder.
Young came to prominence from 1939 to 1942 as lead trumpeter and soloist for Lunceford before working with such noted musicians as Lionel Hampton, Benny Carter and Gerald Wilson. He played several times with Basie, beginning in the early 1940s.
"Snooky is one of the world's all-time great trumpet players," saxophonist Bob Cooper told The Times in 1992. "I can always feel it in the sax section when he's playing — his time, his interpretation of the material, his sound."
Young's association with the "Tonight Show" started in the 1960s after he joined NBC as a studio musician. He moved to Los Angeles when the "Tonight Show" went to the West Coast and stayed on the show until 1992. "Some of the happiest days of my life were spent with that organization," Young told The Times in 1992.
Eugene Edward Young was born Feb. 3, 1919 in Dayton, Ohio, and got the nickname Snooky as a child. His parents were musicians and he started playing the trumpet at 5 and performed in his family's band.
Young played the trumpet for actor Jack Carson's character in the 1941 film "Blues in the Night" and performed on such soundtracks as 1974's "Blazing Saddles" and 1985's "The Color Purple." Young also was a highly regarded session player.
He was named a jazz master by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2009 and most recently played with the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra.
Jeff Gralnick
Producer on '60 Minutes' and 'NBC Nightly News'
Jeff Gralnick, 72, a longtime television producer who helped shape CBS' "60 Minutes" and make "NBC Nightly News" the top-rated network news show, died May 9 at his home in Weston, Conn., NBC announced. He had cancer.
Gralnick covered the Vietnam War as a reporter, produced special coverage of the space program and was one of the first producers of "60 Minutes."
As executive producer of "NBC Nightly News," Gralnick lifted the broadcast from third to first place.
Gralnick, who was born April 3, 1939, began his career in 1959 as a desk assistant for CBS News when network news was a 15-minute broadcast. In 1972, he joined ABC News as a field producer. He twice served as executive producer of "World News Tonight" and produced coverage of political conventions and elections from 1980 to 1992.
He became executive producer of "NBC Nightly News" in 1993.
Gralnick returned to ABC in 1996 to help start ABCNews.com.

Alarming signs that the earth is warming faster than predicted
This Saturday, Dec. 22, the solstice will occur at 1:08 a.m. local time, marking the beginning of winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Saturday will also be the shortest day of the year.
The solstice happens just twice a year - when the sun reaches its greatest distance from the celestial equator. The summer solstice occurs in June.
As we prepare for the arrival of winter, scientists this week are reporting that in 2007 the melting of arctic sea ice has accelerated at an alarming rate. The ice melt is happening three times faster than originally thought. Scientists say the Arctic Ocean could be ice free by the summer of 2012, instead of 30 years from now as orginally thought.
Of big concern, some experts say, is whether the earth has reached the "tipping point." That's when the earth passes the point of no return, when there is no longer enough polar ice to reflect the sun's energy and the heat goes into the oceans causing those great bodies of water to warm.
Then the warming spiral becomes just about unstoppable.
Of course all of these predictions are just that. We don't really know what will happen. But we can make make some fairly accurate guesses.
We know that as the ice melts the water level in the oceans must rise. Should Greenland's ice cover melt, the oceans are expected to rise by 22 feet. That would reduce the size of Conanicut Island by about half.
A warmer climate will severely impact our food supply. We will not be able to grow the same crops in the same places.
Plant and animal species will move to new environments. Some species may become extinct as the globe gets warmer. Consider the fate of the polar bears.
More drastic, destructive weather patterns are anticipated as the earth warms. Some scientists believe we are already experiencing the beginning of unstoppable climate change. Our winter weather won't be the same.
Most scientists agree the warming trend is caused by greenhouse gasses produced by burning fossil fuels such as oil and coal.
The crisis is global, so what can we as individuals do? Plenty.
Start at home. Drive less. Walk or ride a bicycle whenever possible. Use public transportation. Think "green" when making purchases for your home. Use energy efficient appliances and light bulbs. Make sure your home is properly insulated. You'll need less fuel to heat your home.
We can also encourage our Town Council to approve a resolution requiring our island government to operate in an energy responsible manner. The town is already researching the use of wind turbines to produce electricity. We can do more. When town vehicles need to be replaced, let's purchase hybrids or electric vehicles. Can we replace our street lights with more efficient lamps? An energy audit might help determine where the town could reduce its carbon footprint.
The future of the earth is up to us. We can continue at the current pace or we can become pro-active.
As the saying goes, "Think globally, act locally."

The parent of Salisbury Bank & Trust saw second-quarter profits climb despite one-time earnings hits tied to pension withdrawals and litigation.
For three months ended June 30, Salisbury Bancorp Inc. said Friday it netted $1.07 million, or 63 cents a share, up from $766,000, or 45 cents a share, netted the same period a year earlier.
Salisbury Bancorp said the non-recurring items in the quarter were a pension plan curtailment expense of $341,000 from retiree lump-sum withdrawals, and a $250,000 expense for unspecified litigation.
The bank said noninterest income, such as account and loan fees, were up sharply from a year earlier.
It finished the quarter with $590.1million in assets vs. $577.4 million the same period last year.

Boston Marathon Returns With Heightened Spirit, Security
City Reclaims Marquee Event and Basks in Glory of American Meb Keflezighi's Victory
BOSTON—One year after two bombs exploded near the Boston Marathon finish line, this city reclaimed the joy of its marquee event Monday, coming out in near record numbers and basking in the glory of the first American men's winner in 31 years.
It was starkly clear that this was no typical Boston Marathon, with unprecedented police presence and many spectators wearing shirts that read "Boston Strong," the slogan that became a symbol of the city's grit last April. But with each passing runner at this year's race, the...

Four Alabama players arrested earlier this month are no longer associated with the football team and are no longer enrolled at the school.
TUSCALOOSA | The four University of Alabama football players arrested for legal charges ranging from second-degree robbery to fraudulent use of a credit card are no longer part of the football program, UA coach Nick Saban said Wednesday. Defensive back Eddie Williams, defensive lineman D.J. Pettway, linebacker Tyler Hayes and tight end Brent Calloway were initially suspended from the team indefinitely by Saban.
"Some people learn by words, some people learn by consequences. Some people can't learn," Saban said.
Williams is accused of robbing two UA students during the early morning hours of Feb. 11, taking a laptop and a wallet. Pettway and Hayes are accused of participating in one of the robberies and being present during the other. Williams and Calloway are also accused of using a credit card stolen in one robbery.
The administration suspended all but Calloway and banned them from campus immediately after the arrests.
"(Their) actions do not reflect the spirit and character that we want our organization to reflect. Obviously it's very disappointing and unacceptable, what happened," Saban said. "I also think that I've been really proud, over the last five years, that our team has done a very good job with personal responsibility in how they represent the university and what they've done in the community, in the classroom, on the field. We're going to continue to do as much as can in personal development, character development, in our program, with education, to try to help guys be more successful in life."
Tuscaloosa attorney Jay Stuck issued a statement on behalf Pettway Wednesday afternoon.
"D.J. would like to convey to his teammates his sincerest disappointment in not being able to join them on the field as they prepare for the upcoming season," he said. "He also wants both his teammates and his coaches to know that he considers them all extended family members and that due to their friendship and support his time at Alabama has been the best of his life. He truly regrets any pain, distractions, or other problems that this incident has caused any of them."
Attorney Jason Neff released a statement on behalf of Calloway.
"Brent respects the decision of the University officials," he said. "He certainly wished that he could have completed this semester while his case is pending. He will have have to talk with his family about what his plans will be from here. We look forward working through all these issues."
Attorneys for all but Hayes have asked a judge to grant youthful offender status, which would limit the possible length of punishment and probation and greatly restrict case information available to the public. A joint preliminary hearing in the criminal cases against all but Hayes has been scheduled for March 19. Defendants usually choose to waive a hearing if they are out on bond and if prosecutors have already shared discovery evidence, such as police reports and other investigative documents.
Said UA associate vice president of university relations Deborah Lane: "UA's judicial review has been completed. The four students involved in the robberies on campus are no longer enrolled in UA."

Courses in Religious Studies are designed for students who wish to study religion as an academic discipline. They are open to all students on the same basis as are other courses in the Faculty of Arts. They are recommended for
students who wish to gain an understanding of the essential teachings and beliefs of one or more of the major religions;
students who are interested in careers for which a knowledge of religious thought and practice is useful; and
students who are interested in exploring this field as an area of scholarly interest and human concern.
Those who plan to teach religion in the schools should complete a major or minor under the degree of Bachelor of Arts or a concentration in Religious Studies under the degree of Bachelor of Education (Primary/Elementary).
Religious Studies 1000, 1010, 1020, 1021, 1022, 1032, and 1200 are basic courses which introduce students to the academic study of religion. Religious Studies 1040 and 1041 (Introduction to Chinese) and Religious Studies 1050 and 1051 (Introduction to Biblical Hebrew) are courses which fulfil the language requirement in the Faculty of Arts.
Courses at the 2000 level represent a more focussed level of study. Courses are generally of two types: the first introduces specific religious traditions, and the second introduces religious topics or issues. All courses at the 2000 level are introductory and open to any student interested in the subject.
Courses at the 3000 and 4000 level in Religious Studies deal with the subject matter in greater depth and assume some previous knowledge.
Unless otherwise specified, Religious Studies courses do not have prerequisites. Students who register in a 3000- or 4000- level course are encouraged, however, to make sure that they have adequate preparation for that course, preferably by having completed a first- or second-year course in the field.
Students majoring in Religious Studies should plan their program in consultation with a representative of the Department.
A minimum of 36 credit hours in courses in Religious Studies is required. Students must complete at least one course from each of the three following groups:
2013, 2050, 2051, 2130, 2140, 2330, 2340, 3000, 3031, 3060, 3091, 3150, 3200, 3210, 3251, 3265, 3272, 3276, 3305, 3310, 3315, 3320, 3510, 3535, 3560, 3591, 3900, 3901.
2400, 2410, 2415, 2420, 2425, 2430, 3401, 3411, 3412, 3415, 3431, 3432.
2610, 2810, 2811, 2812, 2820, 2830, 2850, 3640, 3650, 3680, 3800, 3810, 3811, 3812, 3820, 3830, 3831, 3850, 3860.
At least 18 credit hours of course work must be at the 3000 level or above.
With the exception of the language courses (1040, 1041, 1050, 1051), no more than two 1000-level courses can be counted as credit towards a major.
A minimum of 24 credit hours in courses in Religious Studies is required, including at least 9 credit hours in courses at the 3000 level or above.
With the exception of the language courses (1040, 1041, 1050, 1051), no more than two 1000-level courses can be counted as credit towards a minor.
Students planning to do further work in Religious Studies should bear in mind that an Honours degree is the normal requirement for admission to Graduate Schools. Students intending to do an Honours Degree of Bachelor of Arts with a Major in Religious Studies must comply with the General Regulations for Honours Degrees, and must complete at least 60 credit hours in Religious Studies courses including Religious Studies 4998 (a comprehensive examination in the area of their specialization) or Religious Studies 4999 (Honours Essay). Candidates for Honours may also be required to do courses in a further subject area.
Candidates for Honours should arrange their program at the earliest opportunity, normally before the beginning of their fifth semester at the University.
Candidates will normally be required to have a reading knowledge of a language basic to their area of specialization.
In each case the program of studies leading to an Honours degree will be determined in consultation with the Head of the Department of Religious Studies, or delegate, keeping in mind the needs and interests of the individual candidate.
Candidates whose area of specialization requires a knowledge of Greek must complete Classics 1130 and 1131. In such cases these courses may be substituted for 6 of the 60 credit hours required for an Honours degree in Religious Studies.
The attention of students is drawn to the possibility of doing a Joint Honours program that includes Religious Studies as one of the Major subjects. Such a program may be arranged in consultation with the Head of the Department of Religious Studies and the Head of the other Department concerned.
In accordance with Senate's Policy Regarding Inactive Courses, the course descriptions for courses which have not been offered in the previous three academic years and which are not scheduled to be offered in the current academic year have been removed from the following listing. For information about any of these inactive courses, please contact the Head of the Department.
Religious Studies courses are designated by RELS.
The Religions of the World
is an introduction to the basic beliefs and practices of the world's great religions.

Freight: YOU MUST SELECT THE LTL SHIPPING METHOD WHEN CHECKING OUT. All orders will ship from Grants Pass, Oregon USA. Kits and bases will be shipped via the LTL common carrier Oak Harbor Freight -- as such we will be able to ship only within the continental United States, Canada, and Mexico. Shipping at checkout may not be accurate -- actual shipping charges will be collected separately if there is a difference in price and over charges will be refunded. Most accessories can be shipped via UPS.
Even on a cool day, a greenhouse in full sun that is closed up tight can get quite hot Roof vents are used to allow hot air to escape, to be replaced by cooler air from the outside. But during the early part of the season, you want to trap as much of the warm air inside to last into the night, to save on heating costs.
This fine balance can best be achieved by the use of optional automatic openers for the vents. These openers can be adjusted to begin operating at different temperatures, depending on the plants needs. As the temperature inside the greenhouse increases, the vent automatically begins to open. If the temperature continues to rise, it opens more. As it cools off later in the day, the vent automatically closes in the same manner. These openers require no electricity or batteries to operate.
In the heat of summer, the vents will often remain open both day and night Additional ventilation can be achieved by adding one or more louver windows, usually installed opposite the door or on one side, down low to allow for the entry of cool air. If needed, one or more glazing panels can be removed for the summer. Remember to use the door as a vent also when needed. (In the winter, the automatic openers can be disconnected.)
Shadecloth will be needed to prevent damage to tender plants during warm weather. Usually 50% shade is adequate, though 70% may be preferred for sensitive plants.
Always wear gloves when handling glass.
Always store glass on edge. Never lay it flat
When choosing a site for your greenhouse, beware of falling limbs, cones, etc.
Stay away from high-traffic areas if possible.
