I decided my couch looked kind of funny with one fall pillow (my Autumn Star Pillow) and one regular pillow. So I made a friend for Autumn Star.
I wanted to use the same general fabrics but not the same design, so I made a couple columns of flying geese. I chose to paper piece them because I'm just so much more exact when I use that technique. I didn't make a tutorial but I did make a PDF of the templates I whipped up to use. You can download it here.
I was able to fit 10 on one sheet of paper but you'll need to print 2 sheets if you want to make a pillow like mine. You'll have a few leftover. If you've never paper pieced before – these are easy! I have a tutorial on the technique here.
I think they look happy together!

Holiday Traditions Include "Merry Madagascar," "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade," "The National Dog Show Presented by Purina," "Miracle on 34th Street," "Christmas in Rockefeller Center," "It's a Wonderful Life," "People of the Year," "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" and "The 122nd Tournament of Roses Parade"
Other Events Are Network Premieres of Hit Feature Films "Enchanted" and "Bee Movie"
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – October 19, 2010 – NBC celebrates the holiday season with traditional favorites and original programming including a new Thanksgiving night music special, "Taylor Swift – Speak Now," on Thursday, November 25 (8-9 p.m. ET) that takes fans on a whirlwind trip from New York to Los Angeles as the Grammy winner launches her latest album.
"Taylor Swift – Speak Now " joins NBC's Thanksgiving Day favorites on November 25 including "The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade," (9 a.m.-12 p.m. in each time zone) and "The National Dog Show Presented by Purina" which follows the parade for its ninth consecutive year (12-2 p.m. in all time zones). In addition, the classic original film version of "Miracle on 34th Street" airs (2-4 p.m. ET) after the "Purina Dog Show" while Matt Lauer's annual "People of the Year" special airs 9-10 p.m. (ET).
These holiday treats join DreamWorks Animation specials on Wednesday, November 24 that include last year's family favorite "Merry Madagascar" (8-8:30 p.m. ET) and the premiere of the all-new "Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special" (8:30-9 p.m. ET). Both specials repeat on Saturday, December 4 (8-9 p.m. ET).
Following the animated specials on November 24, the previously announced "The Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now?" special will catch fans up on their favorite contestants (9-11 p.m. ET). An encore presentation of the program will air on Tuesday, December 28 (9-11 p.m. ET).
On Friday, November 26, audiences can settle in for the network debut of the hit feature film "Enchanted" (9-11 p.m. ET) while another smash film, "Bee Movie." makes its network premiere on Saturday, November 27 (8-10 p.m. ET).
The merriment continues with the annual "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" on Tuesday, November 30 (8-9 p.m. ET) and the classic film "It's A Wonderful Life" airs and repeats on Christmas Eve Friday, December 24 (8-11 p.m. ET).
"NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" will be counting down to 2011 on December 31 (10-11p.m. and resuming at 11:30 p.m. ET). "The 122nd Tournament of Roses Parade" rings in the New Year live from Pasadena, California on Saturday, January 1, 2011 (11 a.m.-1 p.m. ET, check local listings).
Holiday special descriptions are below:
"Taylor Swift – Speak Now " brings fans on a whirlwind trip from New York City to Los Angeles with multiple one-of-a-kind performances including a concert 30,000 feet in the air on the plane ride across country. The special also features behind-the-scenes access to the recording studio and video shoot, autograph signings, appearances, paparazzi dodging — and all the mayhem viewers expect surrounding the Grammy-winning superstar.
"Merry Madagascar" begins when Santa (voiced by Carl Reiner) and his sleigh unexpectedly crash lands on the island, giving the jolly gentleman a case of amnesia. So it falls to everyone's favorite Central Park zoo-sters — along with the ever-inventive Penguins — to deliver the presents and save Christmas. Throw in a long-lasting North Pole/South Pole rivalry between the Penguins and Santa's Reindeer, magic flying dust and a King Julien-based holiday appropriately called "Julianuary" — and "Merry Madagascar" serves up a comedic holiday story like no other.
"Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special" celebrates Winter Feast, Po's (voiced by Jack Black) favorite holiday. Every year, Po and his father hang decorations, cook together and serve noodle soup to the villagers. But this year Shifu (voiced by Dustin Hoffman) informs Po that as Dragon Warrior, it is his duty to host the formal Winter Feast at the Jade Palace. Po is caught between his obligations as the Dragon Warrior and his family traditions.
Viewers will get a chance to catch up with some of their favorite contestants from the last nine seasons of NBC's hit series "The Biggest Loser" with the inspiring Thanksgiving week special "The Biggest Loser: Where Are They Now?" More than 30 former contestants will be featured in the special revealing what they've been doing with their lives since competing on the show.
The "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" celebrates its 84th anniversary on NBC as America's most cherished holiday tradition. With its spectacular pageantry, fun and surprises, the annual New York City extravaganza has become a perennial favorite for millions across the nation. Heralding the start of the holiday season, the world-famous parade features colorful grand floats, lively marching bands, amazing character balloons and special performances by some of today's hottest stars and Broadway performers — plus an appearance by the one-and-only Santa Claus!
John O' Hurley returns as host of "The National Dog Show Presented By Purina," a purebred canine competition that is hosted by the Kennel Club of Philadelphia. The show — one of the oldest and most prestigious sporting events in North America — is one of only five remaining "benched" dog shows where the public can interact with the show dogs. David Frei, "the dean" of dog show commentators, will provide expert commentary with Mary Carillo as sideline interviewer. The competition features more than 2,000 of the nation's leading canines representing more than 150 breeds, including some of the world's largest, smallest and most exotic breeds, all vying for "Best in Show" honors. A "Cutest Puppy" competition will also be part of the show for holiday viewers.
Once again NBC celebrates the season with a special broadcast of the original "Miracle on 34th Street," the 1947 holiday classic that earned Edmund Gwenn an Oscar for his portrayal of Kris Kringle. When a nice old man who claims to be Santa Claus (Gwenn) is institutionalized for being "insane," a young lawyer (John Payne) decides to defend him by arguing in court that he is the real thing.
With the New Year just weeks away, Matt Lauer (NBC's "Today") sits down with the most fascinating, inspirational, and most-talked about people of 2010 for his annual Thanksgiving primetime special "People of the Year."
A classic Disney fairy tale collides with modern-day New York City in "Enchanted," a story about a cartoon princess who is sent to the real world by an evil queen (Susan Sarandon). Soon after her arrival, Princess Giselle (Amy Adams) begins to change her views on life and love after meeting a handsome lawyer (Patrick Dempsey). Can a storybook view of romance survive in reality?
In "Bee Movie," Barry B. Benson (Jerry Seinfeld), a bee who has just graduated from college, is disillusioned at his lone career choice: making honey. On a special trip outside the hive Barry's life is saved by Vanessa (Renee Zellweger), a florist in New York City. As their relationship blossoms, he discovers humans actually eat honey, and subsequently decides to sue them.
"Christmas in Rockefeller Center" is a star-studded, live broadcast from Rockefeller Center in New York City and celebrates the lighting of the world's most famous Christmas tree. The special will include a popular musical lineup celebrating the current hits and favorite holiday music from the world of entertainment.
NBC again presents this exclusive and special telecast of Frank Capra's 1946 holiday classic, "It's a Wonderful Life," starring James Stewart, Donna Reed and Lionel Barrymore. The film follows the life of George Bailey (Stewart) from childhood to maturity in the town of Bedford Falls. On what might be his last Christmas Eve, a discouraged Bailey wants to throw his life away. Fortunately, Clarence (Henry Travers), a second-class angel, is sent to show him the value of life. After Clarence gives Bailey a view of Bedford Falls without him, Bailey realizes how precious his life is and gets a second chance. He comes to learn that Clarence was right when he said, "No man is a failure who has friends." The film, which earned Oscar nominations for best picture, director, actor and film editing, was produced and directed by Capra.
"Last Call" host Carson Daly will ring in the New Year live from Times Square with "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly." The two-hour New Year's Eve special will air live on Friday, December 31 — beginning in primetime (10-11 p.m. ET) — and continuing at 11:30 p.m. (ET) for the countdown to 2011. "NBC's New Year's Eve with Carson Daly" will broadcast in high definition from the middle of the world's most famous New Year's Eve destination — Times Square in New York City.
NBC will celebrate the "122nd Annual Tournament of Roses Parade" live from Pasadena, California on New Year's Day. The parade will feature all the lavish floral floats, spectacular marching bands and high-stepping equestrian teams that have made the event the most popular New Year's Day celebration in the world. This year's Rose Queen and her court will also appear, along with special guests on magnificent floats.

The Court of Justice limits DNA protection to performing its function, by Paul England, Simmons & Simmons
The decision of the Court of Justice
In its first decision on the infringement provisions of the Biotechnology Directive, the Court of Justice (CJ) (formerly the European Court of Justice) gave its judgment in the case of Monsanto Technology v Cefetra on 6th July 2010. It has followed the earlier Opinion of Advocate General Mengozzi (9 March 2010) by holding that Article 9 of Directive 98/44/EC does not confer protection on a patented DNA sequence when it is contained in soy meal, where it does not perform the function for which it was patented. This is regardless of the fact that it did perform that function previously in the soy plant, of which the meal is a processed product, and that the DNA could again perform its function after extraction from the soy meal and insertion into the cell of a living organism.

Abdominal exploration
|Normal anatomy
The abdomen contains many vital organs: the stomach, the small intestine (jejunum and ileum), the large intestine (colon), the liver, the spleen, the gallbladder, the pancreas, the uterus, the fallopian tubes, the ovaries, the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder, and many blood vessels (arteries and veins).
The surgical exploration of the abdomen, also called an exploratory laparotomy, may be recommended when there is abdominal disease from an unknown cause (to diagnose), or trauma to the abdomen (gunshot or stab-wounds, or "blunt trauma").
Diseases that may be discovered by exploratory laparotomy include:
While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), the surgeon makes an incision into the abdomen and examines the abdominal organs. Different incisions are sometimes used depending on the circumstance. Common incisions include a vertical midline incision, and right or left upper or lower quadrant transverse incisions. Tissue samples (biopsies) can be taken and diseased areas can be evaluated. When the treatment is complete, the incision is closed with either sutures or skin staples.
The outcome from surgery varies with the disease process, as does the course and duration of recovery. Exploratory laparotomy is most commonly performed for trauma, severe abdominal pain of unknown cause, intestinal obstruction, inflammatory diseases like appendicitis and diverticulitis, and cancer of any of the abdominal organs.

US lawmakers have meeting with Cuba's Raul Castro
Feb. 20, 2013
HAVANA (AP) — U.S. lawmakers met with President Raul Castro and other senior Cuban officials Tuesday and were told they would be given access to an American imprisoned in Havana. The State Department said the legislators would push for his release.
Cuban state-television showed the delegation, led by Sen. Patrick Leahy, chatting with Castro at the Palace of the Revolution. It said only that the two sides discussed "issues of mutual interest." American diplomats on the island could not immediately be reached for comment.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the congressional delegation, five senators and two representatives, would meet with jailed American Alan Gross and seek his immediate release.
Gross's detention has become the chief impediment to improved relations between Washington and Havana. The 63-year-old was arrested in 2009, when he was caught bringing sensitive communications equipment into Cuba during a USAID democracy-building program. He was sentenced to 15 years.
The State Department looks "forward to the results of their diplomacy on his behalf and, more broadly, with regard to all of our concerns about Cuba, human rights and other things," Nuland said.
Leahy has said he would be thrilled to bring Gross home with him, but added that it was extremely unlikely to happen. The Vermont Democrat led a similar trip a year ago, meeting with both Gross and Castro.
He said Monday that this trip seeks principally to build on the understandings made then and work toward improving relations between countries that have been enemies since before man set foot on the moon.
Leahy and other members of the delegation were seen entering an upscale restaurant in Old Havana along with Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez at midday Tuesday, and Cuban TV said Rodriguez was also present when they met with Castro. The legislators also dined with Parliament chief Ricardo Alarcon on Monday and toured Ernest Hemingway's former villa.
The delegation includes Sens. Jeff Flake, R-Arizona; Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio; Debbie Stabenow, D-Michigan; and Sheldon Whitehouse, D-Rhode Island, along with Democratic Reps. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, Gross' home state.
It was the largest group of senators to visit the island in memory, a sign of growing interest on Capitol Hill.
Cuba has expressed a desire to exchange Gross for at least some of the five Cuban intelligence agents who have been sentenced to long jail terms in the United States.
Washington has said publicly that a swap is not in the cards, but there are other points of contention that might be easier to move on, including possibly removing Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terror.
The island made the list in large part because it supposedly harbored members of the Basque militant group ETA and Colombia's FARC rebels. But ETA announced a permanent cease-fire in 2011, and Cuba is currently playing host to peace talks between Colombia's government and the FARC.
Cuban diplomats point out that even North Korea, which earned global condemnation when it conducted an underground nuclear test earlier this month, is not on the terror sponsor list.

Does putting toothpaste on a pimple make it go away?
– Adrian*
You may have heard this suggestion, but experts on acne say don't try it.
Toothpaste could make that spot on your skin even more red, irritated, and noticeable. Why? Today, there are so many different kinds of toothpastes — and lots of them contain ingredients that can hurt your skin. It makes sense that you don't want all that whitening, tartar-reducing stuff on your face.
It's better to use medicine designed to treat pimples. Try acne creams or gels that contain 1% salicylic acid or 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. Your doctor also can help you deal with pimples and recommend other medicines, if needed.

The collection is open for research.
John and Samuel Wright were brothers, seventh generation descendants of Samuel Wright, one of the first English settlers of Northampton, Massachusetts. The first Samuel removed from Springfield to what would become Northampton in 1655 or 1656. John Pynchon financed the purchase of the land on the west side of the Connecticut River valley at Norwottuck, as he did most of the towns in the valley. The Pynchons played a dominant role, serving almost as manorial barons, in the settlement of the valley in the seventeenth century. Before his removal with his family and son, Samuel Jr., the first New World Samuel was a farmer, and worked as a laborer and teamster for John Pynchon. He was paid in 1653, according to Pynchon's account books, for "carrying from my house to the foot of the falls 44 bushels of wheate...[,] 1 day at the mill...[,] Reaping and carrying Indian [Corne]."1 He died in Northampton in 1665; his son was killed by the Indians at Northfield, Massachusetts on September 2, 1675 in King Philip's War. Nevertheless, the Wrights had started what would be centuries of residence and involvement in the community.
The seventh generation John and Samuel did similar work to their great great great-great grandfather. John was born in 1782, Samuel in 1788. Post-revolutionary Northampton was still an agricultural community, with a strong network of trade between households in the area.2 The Wrights listed themselves as farmers in censuses throughout the first half of the nineteenth century. Yet farming in this New England family-based economy was not simply agricultural; it implied a cooperative effort by the whole household, women and children, including home manufacture of goods for trade, swapped labor between households, and exchange of other goods and services. Thus while households could be said to be relatively independent, they were not self-sufficient.3 From 1818 on, we have documentation in these account books of some of how John and Samuel, and later, John's son, Edwin, made a living.
By 1820, the social and economic world of Western Massachusetts was clearly increasingly commercial, and nascent industrial activity was establishing a foothold in the valley. As the shire town of a recently divided Hampshire County, Northampton played a central role in an economy which stretched from the hilltowns to the west, out into Hadley, Amherst, and Pelham to the northeast, and Granby, South Hadley, and Ware to the southeast. Most business transactions were done by account book, as cash was relatively scarce. Long running accounts were kept by families and merchants. Stores accepted goods in trade, as well as cash when possible, for debits on account, just as families did. This type of economy required strong social ties, a sense of trust and reciprocity between parties. Individuals and families who succeeded in this social and economic world needed to be flexible, utilizing many different sources of income and exchange. The Wrights exhibited flexibility and adaptability, as evident in their account books. While farming remained central in their lives, they engaged in substantial business in hauling freight, or as described in the Hampshire County Registrar of Deeds books, they were "joint partners in the business of common carriers."4
The 1790s saw the start of development of many turnpikes in an attempt to improve the rather primitive road conditions in New England. However rural Western Massachusetts was, it was energetically increasing its trading reach both internally, and externally to the burgeoning trade routes of New England. John and Samuel Wright fit well into this interdependent network of households and merchants, cities and towns. Their family ties in the area were deep and wide. By 1810, there were seventeen heads of household named Wright in Northampton, most all of them related, however distantly, to John and Samuel. In 1840, there were twenty six. Moreover, the Wrights had intermarried over the generations with many other prominent and prevalent families in the town and throughout the area. The Wrights owned land along Bridge St., right off of the downtown Northampton area which had seen a building boom between 1809 and 1820, including a new church, county courthouse, town hall, and several store buildings.5 Just below the plateau that held the Bridge St. area was the rich farm land of the meadows that arced around between Northampton and the Connecticut River. John and Samuel owned farm land in the meadows and would increase their holdings as the decades of the nineteenth century went on. Transportation of the early nineteenth century was still based on horse and wagon, with teams of four, six, and eight used to haul freight as needed.6 The Wrights had the requisite land and crops, and the social and economic contacts, to provide a vital need in this changing commercial world of commerce, transportation of goods, and services.
As did many in the early decades of the century, the Wrights, particularly John, formed many partnerships. John and Samuel Wright; Wright, Pomeroy & Co.; Wright & Edwards; and John and Edwin Wright were some of these. Samuel is involved more toward the beginning of the years documented by the account books, both by himself and in partnership with John. All the rest involve John Wright, who wore many hats in his working life: farmer, freight hauler, laborer, cider-maker, Selectman, Assessor, Overseer of the Poor, representative of relatives in Probate Court, Guardian for individuals and families, landlord, renter of horses, etc. Samuel's work life seems to have been more farm-oriented, with some freight hauling, laboring, and cider-making, especially in the 1820s. Edwin shows up as his father's partner in the freight business, and from the mid 1830s on, keeps the books and is principally involved in hauling of freight on more local lines. Interestingly, the account books are full of debits for cash paid on accounts at stores for individuals, presumably at discount. Thus, it appears that in a not yet cash-based economy, the Wrights, mainly John, were able to utilize their supply of cash, gathered as go-betweens in the commercial world, to front money, a valuable service, and gain what ever discount was allowed between credit and cash accounts.
The account books reflect the adaptation necessary in this time and particularly in this line of business of being common carriers. The Wrights would seem to have had a virtual monopoly on the freight hauling in these decades, as evidenced by their accounts with what amounts to a who's who of merchants, businesses, and prominent families of Northampton and Williamsburg, and with the few merchants in the surrounding towns, especially in the booming broom and palm-leaf hat businesses of Hadley and Amherst. However, this was a rapidly changing world. The turnpikes of the 1790s into the early nineteenth century, which were never very successful, gave way gradually to the newer innovations of canals and railroads. While the Northampton-New Haven Canal was never consistently reliable or of significant impact on the economy, its appearance in 1837 is concurrent with a shift of focus for the Wrights from distant routes to more local carrying.7 By 1845, the railroad had reached Northampton, and the days of freight hauling by horse and wagon were limited to local routing.8
The Wrights adapted to the changing conditions in agriculture, business and industry, as they did to the rapidly developing new world of transportation available, which ultimately shrunk the scope of, then presumably ended their ventures in hauling freight as common carriers. The Hampshire County Register of Deeds shows many transactions by the two brothers increasing their landholdings, mostly in the meadows, from 1820 on, when the deed signed over to them by their father in 1815 was entered into the Register, two years after his death. Apparently never achieving great wealth or prominence, the Wrights were an integral part of their community and the surrounding area. What potential for riches and renown was available for many in the early nineteenth century Hampshire County was carried to and fro by John, Samuel and Edwin Wright, serving in roles not far removed from those of their forebear to John Pynchon. John Wright died in 1870 at the age of 88 of dysentery. His son Edwin followed him in 1880, age 70, with cancer. They were buried in the Bridge St. cemetery in Northampton near their homes and land. Samuel Wright died later that year in 1880 at the age of 92, of cholera. He was buried in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts. All three were listed in the City Clerk's vital statistics register as farmers.

Daybooks and ledgers of John, Samuel, and Edwin Wright consisting of nine bound volumes, and four folders of loose material including accounts, letters, and miscellaneous papers and figurings.
Volume 1: The first volume, "John & Samuel Wrights Day Book 1818," is a daybook, that is, the accounts have been entered, untallied, in chronological order as they occurred. From 1818 to 1824, the accounts follow the months and days of their business up to page 181. After that, the dates of the entries jump around and serve as a temporary catch-all for various accounts for twenty-three more pages. There then follow approximately forty blank pages. The routing is largely Northampton to Boston, with a few stops in between, and to a lesser degree, Northampton to Hartford. The items vary from whiting and cod to hats, wool, bales of cloth, chests of tea, barrels of cider, tubs of butter, salt, tallow, flour, the exchange of sides and hides of leather, carpeting, brooms, saddle trees, lemons and raisins, glue, indigo, and services such as paying the highway tax, bringing a jackass from Boston, and cash paid in Hartford for accounts and for freight brought from New York. There are a few accounts of boarders' debits and of farm sales and exchanges.
Volume 2: The second volume is entitled "Samuel Wright's Northampton Apl 1824." This proved to be the most problematic book to figure out, as it appeared to be a general store or wholesale general business from the look of the accounts, which listed quantities of goods, without designation of any as freight or as to destination or origin. This style of entry covers pages 1-81. Further delving into the books revealed that all of these accounts are the tallied versions of the entries of Book #3, which clearly lists these as running accounts, i.e., chronological, of freight hauled between Northampton and Hartford. There are no weights given to the items, but all are listed, rather, by container, i.e., hogshead (hhd), barrel (bbl), box, etc. The items are foodstuffs, dry goods, hardware, etc. Pages 82-85 are blank, and then 86 to 91 serve as tallied accounts of John and Samuel Wright, as well as some of their drivers.
Volume 3: This volume, "John & Samuel Wrights Book 1824 [...] to page 77 & then John Wrights," is for its first 27 pages, a day book, i.e., the untallied accounts of Book 2, involving freight hauling from Northampton to Hartford, and from Day's Landing to Hartford. Further looking reveals that this traffic was connected somehow to boat travel on the Connecticut, involving Day's Landing and "the falls" somewhere between Northampton and Hartford. At this time the Connecticut above Hartford was a difficult course for boats with the falls at Enfield, Connecticut, and then those at South Hadley major obstacles. In 1829, a canal was put through to circumvent the Enfield falls. Luther Clark 2nd was the hauler here for the Wrights, and was reimbursed for expenses to Hartford, at Hartford, to Falls, at Falls, over Falls, from Falls to Day's (or, sometimes, home). The first trip in March was apparently a bit experimental, and included hiring hands for help at Day's Landing and the Falls. John Wright was paid for having bought the boat from Joseph Edwards for the brothers' partnership. The boat cost $10.00, and a horse bought at the same time cost $70.00. Clark was reimbursed for a spike for boat, oars, and paid for "work boating and profit." This route combining land and river lasted until November of 1824, and was apparently abandoned at that point. Pages 28 to 77 are John and Samuel's freight hauling accounts on the Boston-Northampton route up to 1827. Page 78 on is John Wright's, extending up to 1838, reflecting his work for Wright, Pomeroy & Co., and as an individual in many of his roles. His work for the Town of Northampton is fairly well documented here, as Selectman, and as Overseer of the Poor. Whether carting manure, moving fields, assessing properties, doing town books and paying school teachers, representing people in Probate Court, acting as Selectman, etc., John was always reimbursed a dollar a day for his labor. The differentiation of work's worth from lawyering to raking, cider-making to overseeing the poor was not yet in place, at least not in John Wright's world.
Volume 4: The fourth volume is untitled. Pages 1 to 21 are untallied accounts of the Boston route from September 1827 to August 1828. From page 22 on, the Boston route and some local trade of 1827 to 1832 is presented in tallied accounts, i.e.- listed by name with balancing on occasion of the credits and debits. Evidence of the variety of goods carried, the range of prominent Northampton citizens, cash paid and discounts given, and the increasing involvement of Edwin (b. 1810) is detailed. The back cover has a directory of names and corresponding page numbers to locate accounts.
Volume 5: The fifth volume is entitled, "Wright, Pomeroy & Co. Book Jan'y 1833 [...] to page 78 & then John & Edwin Wrights." References to this partnership occur through many of the books. It seems to have involved at times four men, with William Pomeroy and another being Williamsburg residents. This book is in two parts. The first, pages 1 to 77, covers the Boston-Worcester-Northampton route, 1833-1838, with almost all freight listed simply by weight, without mention of items. The rest of the book is an 1840-1857 Wilbraham to Williamsburg route, passing through Northampton, and connecting the new industries along the Mill River from Northampton, Leeds, Haydenville, Skinnerville on up to Williamsburg. This new route may have reflected an adaptation of the Wright's, as the canal to Northampton was in, however ineffective it was, and the railroad connection was established with Western Massachusetts from Boston with a depot at Wilbraham. Two letters from William Lloyd Garrison to Northampton in 1843 mention taking "the cars" from Boston to Wilbraham and then the stage from there. Also, the Wrights' accounts occasionally show railroad fees paid for clients at the depot in Wilbraham. The Pomeroy connection must have helped from here on, as the Wrights compiled as impressive a list of prominent names on account in the greater Williamsburg area as they did in Northampton earlier. Indeed, almost all of the names in this part of the book are Williamsburg and Haydenville residents. This section serves as the tallying of accounts in Book 7.
Volume 6: This is a fragment of pages still strung together, but without binding, that was separated, apparently, from some lost account book. It is of a Northampton-Boston route and covers the years 1834 to 1838. The first two years show a considerable amount of freight hauled for the Northampton Woolen Manufacturing Company. Wool, leather, axes, and brooms are the more prevalent items. Samuel Whitmarsh's silk industry's beginnings are documented here as well as in Books 4 and 5.
Volume 7: The seventh volume, "John & Edwin Wrights Book Northampton Jan'y 1840," lists the untallied accounts of Williamsburg residents and businesses that are tallied in the second half of Book 5. Edwin seems to be the principal Wright here. Again, the names serve as a roll call of prominence in the Williamsburg area.
Volume 8: The untitled volume eight is a small blue book, whereas the others are almost all more traditional ledger sized. The handwriting here, as in Books 7 and 9, is meticulous, and appears to be that of Edwin Wright. This book, covering 1850-1852, seems almost a continuation of Book 7 with the years 1846-1850 left out. Perhaps a book is missing. Again, all the routing is to and from Williamsburg. The items hauled are clearly for households, stores, and factories, with industry predominating.
Volume 9: "John & Edwin Wrights act Book Jan'y 1856," is the ninth and last volume, covering the last years of the decade up to 1859. It is Williamsburg based, with many entries for Haydenville and Leeds as well. The successful industries of the area are evident throughout the book. Mattresses, pickles, bedsteads, bales of silk, dyestuffs, soap, clapboards, limes, carboys, sumac, brick, iron kettles, plaster, skeins of yarn, suspenders, and doors are some of the items brought to Williamsburg. Shipped out are crates, coat hooks, boxes, silk, leather, warp beams, boxes of cloth, wool, keys, tools, pails, tubs of butter, etc.
Four Folders: The four folders contain a variety of scraps of paper with figuring and tallying on them, notes, a few letters, etc.
The collection is open for research.

You have no items in your shopping cart.
There are many products on the market today that claim to increase power and torque. Buzz words like chip, chipping, or flashing are technologies of the past, Products that increase rail pressure are simplistic, providing additional horsepower and torque by increasing rail pressure. This can lead to major engine failure.
If you are looking for a quality product that has been tried, tested, and sold worldwide—then there is only one. STEINBAUER has been producing performance electronics for over 15 years. The company develops, rigorously tests, and manufactures every product it sells. No other tuning on the market is as refined and proven as what you get with a STEINBAUER power module.
Intelligent Engine Technology
The desired performance enhancement is achieved by changing the injection duration, the same way the system was originally designed to operate. This also allows precise fuel control throughout the full rpm range of the engine. Injection duration is achieved by adding pulse width to a signal, (i.e. at the end of injection). This does not change timing—that's best left to the factory ECU. The STEINBAUER module also does not interfere with common rail pressure - making it the safest choice for your engine.
So what is the benefit of all this Intelligent Technology for your equipment? The STEINBAUER power module provides a 20% increase in horsepower and torque, and a considerable reduction in fuel consumption. This allows you to accomplish your work in the field quicker, and cheaper.

SAP NEWSBYTE — SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) and German equestrian champion Ingrid Klimke will work together on innovative technology solutions for equestrian sports. Drawing from her 21 years of experience, Klimke will be involved in the innovation process, advising SAP on how to best use technology to simplify and enrich the fan experience at equestrian events. Her input is also intended to help SAP develop analytics software with the aim to enhance riders' performance.
"Ingrid Klimke is the ideal advisor for our ambitious goals to further develop our technology offerings for equestrian sports," said Stefan Lacher, head of Sponsorship Technology, SAP. "Her experience, professionalism and passion will add great value to our team and will help bring the fans closer to the sport."
The prototype of SAP® Equestrian Analytics software will be showcased at CHIO Aachen, a popular international equestrian festival held each summer in Aachen, Germany. The technology provided by SAP will enable fans and riders to visualize the action on the cross-country course of the eventing discipline. With a 2-D viewer for easy-to-grasp data visualization, a leader board and an interactive competitor chart, both fans and athletes can get insights into individual routes, speed data, time gaps and heart rates of competitors. Riders can also use this data to optimize their training and improve their performance. Additionally, Klimke and SAP have successfully tested an intuitive new interface merging videos from the rider's helmet camera with the digital data provided by SAP Equestrian Analytics, which allows the spectators to experience the course and the action from the rider's perspective in a lively, visually compelling way.
Drawing from her rich experience, Klimke will give further insights into how fans can be engaged even more closely.
"I could ride a horse before I could walk. I want to share this passion with my fans," said Klimke. "This is why with SAP as a partner, I look forward to being able to actively contribute to the development of solutions that enhance the fan experience. I am excited to use this innovative technology to present and explain specific new aspects of my rides to my fans. For the first time, I will be able to give them a better understanding of the 'why' and 'how' of the action on the course."
Having competed in four Olympics, Klimke has also claimed a host of domestic and international titles across the three disciplines of dressage, show jumping and eventing. At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Klimke won a gold medal as part of the German three-day eventing team. She and her horse FRH Butts Abraxxas went on to win gold again four years later in London. As a result of her successful track record both as an athlete and as a trainer, in January 2012 Klimke was the second woman ever to be appointed "Riding Master," a special, honorary title of the German Equestrian Federation. Since 2013, Klimke has also been Solidarity Ambassador for the Fédération Equestre Internationale, an international equestrian federation that aims to develop equestrian sports globally.

Length of Supply Needed:
4 Month Supply
Use Advantage monthly to kill fleas within minutes. The active ingredient is imidacloprid, which acts on the nervous system of the flea to cause paralysis and subsequent death. Advantage stops biting fleas in three to five minutes and starts to kill adult fleas within an hour after application.1 Within 12 hours of application, 98-100 percent of fleas are dead. This is important because flea bites can lead to skin infections, cause discomfort for your pet, lead to allergic skin reactions, and can even transmit other disease-causing organisms, including tapeworms.
You won't need to use another flea control product. Advantage kills fleas before they lay eggs, so their life cycle is broken at multiple stages. It also kills flea larvae within 20 minutes of contact.

Efficient Method to Update Sony Drivers
There are a number of common warnings along with other messages which you may get in the driver updating process, many of which I've paraphrased and listed right here along with tips on how to proceed:
There are a number of frequent alerts and also other messages that you might get in the driver updating process, a number of which I've paraphrased and listed here as well as guidance on how to proceed:
Windows cannot verify that the driver is compatible: Touch or click Yes to continue installing it if you're sure this driver is the right one. Choose No if you think you might have the driver for the wrong model or something like that, in which case you should look for other INF files or maybe an entirely different driver download.
Windows can't verify the publisher of this driver software: Choose Yes to continue installing this driver only if you received it directly from the manufacturer or from their installation disc. If you downloaded the driver elsewhere and didn't exhaust your search for a manufacturer-provided one, choose No.
This driver hasn't been signed: In the same manner to the publisher confirmation problem over, select Yes only when you're confident about the driver's supply.
Windows requires a digitally signed driver: You won't even see the above two messages because Windows won't let you install a driver that has a digital signature issue, in 64-bit versions of Windows. If you see this message, end the driver update process and locate the correct driver from the hardware maker's website.
How to Update Drivers with Device Manager?
1. Now let's take Windows 10 for example. Open Windows 10 Control Panel by clicking Win+X(Windows keyand X key) at the same time and click Control Panel.
2. Open Device Manager.
3. In Device Manager window, expand categories and locate the device that you wish to update the driver for. For instance, if you want to update driver for the SCSI of "SONY VGC-JS160J", find this device under related category. Then right-click on the device name and select Update Driver Software.
Too Complicated for You? Download & Try DriverTuner
1. Download a Professional Driver Updating Tool and double click it to install
2. Scan your computer for out-of-date drivers. Select the ones(here you should select SONY VGC-JS160J) which need to be updated and click download. Or you can just check SELECT ALL.
3. When the download process is finished, click SETUP to install them. Voila! Your driver for SONY VGC-JS160J has been updated. Sometimes you need to reboot your computer to put the drivers into use.

(NRF) Holiday Season Lifts Consumer Index
While the economy is still struggling to fully recover, Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday came as a relief for the retailers this holiday season. The holiday weekend sales have helped consumer confidence strongly improve. Amid the economic gloom, it seems that consumers had saved enough bucks to grab the best deals available now.
A recent report by Conference Board data suggested that Consumer Confidence Index rose to 73.7 in November from a revised 73.1 in October, and attained the highest level since February 2008, when the index touched 76.4. This prompts a sense of optimism about steady increase in consumer spending going forward; barring the impending "fiscal cliff" making its way in. The impact of fiscal cliff or $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts will take its effect from the beginning of 2013 if not resolved by Congress.
According to National Retail Federation (NRF), the survey performed by BIGinsight revealed that as many as 247 million bargain hunters visited stores and browsed the Internet over the past weekend compared with 226 million in the prior year. The average spending per customer rose to $423.6 over the weekend, up 6.3% from $398.6 in the prior-year comparable period. Average online spending increased 14.5% to $172.4 from $150.5 in the corresponding period last year.
The data compiled by NRF also suggested that sales on the Thanksgiving weekend surged 12.8% to $59.1 billion from $52.4 billion in the year-ago period. Notably, sales did rise, but the rate of growth decelerated from 16.4% growth rate achieved in the prior-year period.
This doesn't mean retailers haven't done their homework. Instead, they have now gained enough experience to make the best amid lingering gloomy economic conditions. Early-hours store openings, huge discounts, promotional activities and free shipping on online purchases were enough to lure customers on Black Friday, which turned out to be a bonanza for both brick-and-mortar as well as e-commerce retailers.
As suggested by comScore, Black Friday witnessed online retail spending of $1.04 billion that increased 26% from $816 million in 2011, whereas Thanksgiving Day saw a 32% jump in online spending to $633 million. Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) recorded highest online traffic as per comScore on Black Friday and was followed by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT), Best Buy Co. Inc. (BBY), Target Corporation (TGT) and Apple Inc. (AAPL).
However, retail sales on Black Friday, which kicks off the holiday sales, edged down 1.8% to $11.2 billion, while foot traffic climbed 3.5%, according to the data released by ShopperTrak. Analysts believe that Thanksgiving Day attracted some sales from Black Friday due to the early offerings of best deals.
IBM Corporation (IBM) reported a 30% sales increase on Cyber Monday. Supposedly, the sales increase was helped by tech savvy consumers buying best online deals through their smartphones, tablets and computers. The data is based on survey done on 500 retailers.
Thus, it seems that the holiday season is shaping up well, lifting consumer's confidence, benefiting retailers and giving some momentum to derailed economy. Sensing the pulse, we could see more competitive pricing and launch of new products to attract shoppers in the holiday season.
We believe that retail companies will be actively making efforts to win the hearts of bargain hunters. Interestingly, it definitely remains a wait-and-see story as to which retailers emerge successful in wooing maximum consumers in this distressed economy.
Happy Shopping…..

DRIFTING: With little market-moving news, stocks drifted lower in thin trading Monday, pulling the Standard & Poor's 500 index back from a five-year high. With major indexes near records, many think the six-week rally is ready for a pause.
MORE iGIZMOS: Apple's stock rose following reports over the weekend that the tech giant is developing a wristwatch-like gadget, a smart watch. The device would reportedly run the same operating system used for iPhones and iPads.
FINAL SCORE: The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 22 points to 13,971. The S&P 500 slipped less than one point to close at 1,517.

The search for the county administrator continues. The top choice of Yellow Medicine County commissioners, Dakota County Administrative Services Manager Heather Aagesen-Huebner, has removed herself from consideration following a failed attempt to by board members to rescind the initial offer.
The search for the county administrator continues. The top choice of Yellow Medicine County commissioners, Dakota County Administrative Services Manager Heather Aagesen-Huebner, has removed herself from consideration following a failed attempt to by board members to rescind the initial offer.
After recessed their regularly scheduled board meeting Tuesday April 9, commissioners reopened the meeting Friday afternoon to allow for an additional sit-down with Aagesen-Huebner. According to commissioner Ron Antony, the county's original top candidate had requested the courtesy so that she would be able to further explore the area and the potential relationship with the county board in order to be sure it was the right move for her family.
YMC hired St. Paul public sector advisor, Springsted, to facilitate the search and hire of an administrator following the departure of former administrator Ryan Krosch's move to Nicolett County at the end of 2012.
After a formal interview process and 5-0 vote in favor of Aagesen-Huebner on April 3, YMC commissioners extended the offer to the candidate. But a subsequent motion at the board's April 9 meeting by commissioner Gary Johnson to rescind the offer saw the situation take an unexpected turn as well as lead to a testy exchange when commissioners re-opened the meeting on Friday.
Commissioners Antony and John Berends, who comprised the two votes opposed to rescinding the offer to Aagesen-Huebner, were the most outspoken regarding their displeasure with board's actions.
Berends stated that, in Springsted, the board had hired a professional firm to facilitate the search at a cost of $13,000 and that, according to YMC Human Resources Director Tegan Laleman, the company had fulfilled its obligations exceedingly well.
"[Dave Springsted] gave us advice to act as a unified board and vote unanimously––and by not doing that we've suffered the consequences," said Berends. "Dave has 30 years experience––my understanding is that he has never had this happen."
Berends went on to say that he thought the appearance of a divided board might undermine the administrator's role with the county––and, further, stated concerns that it might negatively impact board member relationships with remaining candidates, while also painting the county board in a poor light in general.
At the April 9 meeting, Johnson said that he had felt pressured by Springsted to present a unanimous front and suggested that he would have rather stuck true to his actual desires to place his vote with YMC Family Services Director Peg Heglund. In addition, he and commissioners Louis Sherlin and Greg Renneke would state their displeasure with Aagesen-Huebner's request to have a second sit-down and extra look at the county, stating their beliefs that the investigation into the county's offering is something the candidate should have done before she was offered the position.
Though the motion resulted in a 3-2 vote in favor of pulling the offer, the nature of this particular vote required a 4-1 majority––which, in essence, meant that commissioners could still have entered in to negotiations with the candidate. After Aagesen-Huebner was informed of the situation by Springsted, however, she withdrew her name on her own accord.
Adding a bit of irony to the situation is that commissioner Johnson would say after the meeting Friday that he had made the motion so that he could make known where he would have liked to place his original vote. He said he was surprised when his motion was seconded and even more so when it received three votes. Had he had it to do over again, he said he would have voted with his conscience the first time.
Following the discussion, and given the fallout of his motion to rescind the offer, Johnson said that he felt compelled to allow the other four members of the board to vote on the choice for administrator without him. But after things had settled he thought better of it and intends to be present when the board interviews its top three remaining candidates following this Tuesday's upcoming meeting.
Still in consideration of the post is Redwood County Human Services Director II, Patrick Bruflat, YMC Family Services Director Peg Heglund and YMC Finance Director Michelle May.
Despite the criticisms of the situation, Berends emphasized that it was important that the board pull together and focus on the future; a notion for which the entirety of the county board concurred.
"We're all in this together," he said. "We have to move forward and work together and try to repair these relationships. In any event we all have to work together in the best of interests of the county."

New Statutory Responsibility
The Boy Scouts of America Equal Access Act, part of the No Child Left Behind Act, addresses equal access to public school facilities for the Boy Scouts and other specified patriotic youth groups. In November 2002, OCR issued an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking inviting comments from the public on issues to be considered in developing proposed regulations. After reviewing the comments, OCR began drafting a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, which was published during FY 2004. OCR received six complaints alleging violations of the Act and four complaints were resolved during FY 2003.
Secretary of Education's Commission on Opportunity in Athletics
The Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights served as an ex officio member of the Secretary of Education's Commission on Opportunity in Athletics, composed of representatives of athletes, educators, coaches and other interested parties. The Commission was charged with examining the enforcement of Title IX and making recommendations to increase athletic opportunities for all students. The Commission held town hall meetings across the country, receiving testimony from over 50 expert witnesses and 150 members of the public. On February 26, 2003, the Commission presented its final report to Secretary Paige. The report is entitled "Open to All: Title IX at 30," and contains a number of factual findings and recommendations for improving and strengthening the enforcement of Title IX.
|"OCR [investigators] were very professional and extremely competent…[OCR's
investigation] turned out to be very worthwhile. The [investigation] was very
thorough and it was extremely helpful in helping us with our Title IX programming…[OCR]
didn't intimidate the coaches or the students they interviewed. They would
also explain why they were looking…The whole process was surprisingly easy."
Statement of a university athletics director
With the Commission's report in mind, in July 2003, OCR mailed "Dear Colleague" letters to education leaders at 6,600 postsecondary education institutions. The letter reaffirms the flexibility given to educational institutions in ensuring their athletics programs are operated free from discrimination on the basis of sex. The document also clarifies that nothing in the Title IX statute requires the cutting or reduction of teams in order to demonstrate compliance with Title IX and that the elimination of teams is a disfavored practice.

Rivier launches business advisory board
By BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent
NASHUA - With a goal of fostering better relationships with local businesses, Rivier University has formed an advisory board to help strengthen and expand the university's business division.
The 26-member Business Program Advisory Board held its first meeting Jan. 31, focusing on skills employers look for in new employees.
Led by Dean of Business Administration and Assistant Professor of Business Administration Amir Toosi, the board will look at not only what, "employers can do for Rivier, but what Rivier can do for employers," Toosi said.
Many board members are focused on "how to make the Nashua area a better place for business in the future," he said.
Of the 26 members, 12 seats come from leaders in business, government and the military while the other 14 are members of the university's faculty and administration. The biggest benefit of the new board is increasing the lines of communication between Rivier and local businesses, Toosi said.
"We are learning and communicating with board members and listening to their expertise and knowledge about what is happening today and tomorrow in their respective fields. We are asking how the university could better be prepared for the students and vice-versa, how the faculty and administration can share what is happening in higher education with an eye towards increased collaborations and partnerships with local businesses," Toosi explained.
According to Rivier spokeswoman Julia Agresto, the university has been consistently looking for ways to increase the variety of business classes it offers.
"With a demand for diverse business programs and courses, the (advisory board) will help to improve on the university's current offerings while also exploring the possibility of new programs and courses in the future," Agresto said.
A key relationship that Toosi said the board will help the university foster is with the Greater Nashua Chamber of Commerce. With some board members already members of the chamber, and Rivier's supply of strong students, Toosi said the board will help increase student participation in the community through internships and volunteering.
Toosi said the board would meet again this fall.

**1/2 (out of four)
It may be the right call to end a movie whose characters need further verification of their heroism with Peter Gabriel covering David Bowie's "Heroes."
Closing "Lone Survivor" like that, however, cheapens the film instead of honoring its true-life inspirations. Based on the real 2005 "Operation Red Wings" mission that led to a deadly gunfight in the Afghan mountains between a small group of Navy SEALs and countless members of the Taliban, "Lone Survivor" -- how's that for a spoiler-y title -- opens and closes with a loose grasp on how to turn authentic courage into an action movie. In between, though, wow.
Written and directed by Peter Berg ("The Kingdom," "Friday Night Lights"), the film features music from Explosions in the Sky and co-stars Taylor Kitsch as a charismatic leader, making the beginning feel almost like a military spinoff of "FNL." The generic way Berg introduces SEALs Marcus Luttrell (Mark Wahlberg), Mike Murphy (Kitsch), Danny Dietz (Emile Hirsch) and Matt Axelson (Ben Foster) doesn't help. (The mission's detail also pales compared to the masterful storytelling of "Zero Dark Thirty.") In "Survivor," the hazing of a newbie does drive home the fraternity-like nature of the group before their bonds are shown on the dangerous terrain where it counts most.
Once the decently acted, helmetless quartet becomes engaged in battle, "Lone Survivor" impressively puts the viewer in the space of the soldier, surrounded by gunfire but always working as a team of brothers. As Marcus stands firm on the morally complex rules of engagement and Mike risks his life for purposes of information and communication, it couldn't be easier to admire the bravery on screen. Speaking of a different kind of bravery: I don't know the last time I praised the stunt work in a movie, but the guys of "Lone Survivor" deserve five rounds of applause. The way they tumble down the mountain should have anyone with eyes and nerves grimacing.
Though "Lone Survivor" avoids the offensive phoniness of "Act of Valor" (which starred active duty Navy SEALs), unnecessary voiceover, too many looks at the vast mountainous landscape and the last-second kills found in any dimwitted blockbuster turn Berg's flick into one that overworks to push our emotional and heart-pounding buttons. Sequences in which the guys get shot and yell, "Oh, [bleep]" become repetitive.
Otherwise, it's good at letting the terror and tension of war reveal volumes about those involved. The men demonstrate that words and actions must always be chosen carefully. Berg should have followed suit.

Natural cleaning products – five of the best
9 Comments »
I like Method's loo cleaner, it's the best eco-cleaner for this purpose I've come across yet. My daughter is a little disappointed however, she likes making fizz bombs with vinegar and bicarb!
Hi Mrs. Green- thanks for such a helpful post! I just switching over to the "green side" and am trying to find as many tips as possible. However, I was wondering what the price difference is between the home made products and the bought ones? I know the home-made would be cheaper, but are they even comparable in quality?
Thanks for the help, go green!
@Green Cleaning: I just saw that you asked about pricing on green cleaning products. I am really trying to "go green" in cleaning right now, but some of the store bought ones are so expensive, but I recently found this site, http://www.greencupboards.com, and it is kind of like the Costco of green products. They have a whole bunch of great cleaning and personal care products in bulk, and most of them are also heavily concentrated, so they last a really long time! The pricing seems high at first, but I have begun to save a lot, buying green products in bulk.
I would definitely recommend the method products, as well as, Howard Naturals. Both work great.
Hi, Mrs. Green. What about Citra Solv? Their products are natural, biodegradable, work well and smell terrific! They're also not that expensive and you can easily download coupons from their website.
@Erica: Hello Erica, welcome to the site. Thanks for your recommendation of Citra Solv. I've not personally used it, but I have heard lots of good reports, so good to hear of another vote for them!
Methods Natural House is a good soap to use for window cleaning. The one thing that you need to make sure is not to use too much soap in your water. A quick squirt of soap in a 3 gallon bucket should be enough. Too much suds no matter how good the soap is will leave suds. I also found that Natural House gives your squeegee really good glide, helping you clean windows faster and better.

Jane Wei wins BMES Student Design and Research Award
Congratulations to Jane Wei, an undergraduate in the Fischbach-Teschl Lab, chosen for a 2017 Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) Student Design and Research (Extended Abstract) Awards. Her project, titled "Collagen Type I Alignment Regulates Endothelial Network Formation During Vasculogenesis," uses a 3D model system to study the role of extracellular matrix structure on the development of vasculature. Specifically, she is working with Fischbach Lab Ph.D. student Michael McCoy on assessing the role of collagen fiber alignment on mechanosensing and guiding vascular network assembly. This appears to happen in two ways, through changes in how blood vessels form and differences in the proteins that they manufacture.
Jane will receive the award on Friday, October 13 at 10:15 am, at the morning plenary session of the Annual BMES meeting held this year in Phoenix, Arizona.
The Biomedical Engineering Society (BMES) offers several awards recognizing outstanding contributions to biomedical engineering by students and student chapters. The Student Design and Research Award (Extended Abstracts) award is granted to up to 8 undergraduate students who are selected on the basis of originality, significance, thoroughness of design analysis, and performance evaluation. Winners receive a certificate, a complimentary registration for the Annual Meeting, and a stipend to assist with travel expenses.
Congratulations Jane!

To me this is the essence of kiteboarding. Massive airtime off wave lips. Throw some tricks and loops for good measure.
If they also added style points for wave riding on the way in then it would cover all aspects of the sport (except course racing).
PS 9m,10m kites in 35 knots..... crazy bastardo's..... But it also proves those weirdos who say a smaller kite gives you bigger airtime wrong. These guys are riding the largest kite they can hold down for the wind conditions!

Clay Guida vs. Sean Sherk Likely for UFC Fight Night 21 in March
(They used to be boring wrestlers until Guida stopped being boring and Sherk stopped wrestling.)
Seems like it had to happen eventually: According to a new report on MMA Junkie, a lightweight showdown between Clay Guida and former champion Sean Sherk is being penciled in for UFC Fight Night 21 (March 21st, Denver; live on Versus). With his wrestling prowess and relentless pace, Guida has long been a threat in the 155-pound division, but he's dropped his last two fights against Diego Sanchez (via split decision in June) and Kenny Florian (via second-round rear-naked choke in December). Meanwhile, Sherk has lost two out of his last three appearances — most recently a unanimous decision against Frankie Edgar at UFC 98 — due in large part to a decreasingly effective focus on boxing. Sherk was supposed to make his Octagon return earlier this month against Rafaello Oliveira, but was struck down by The Curse.
As we previously reported, the 3/21 card will be headlined by Jon Jones vs. Brandon Vera, and will likely include Anthony Johnson vs. John Howard. A lightweight scrap between Spencer Fisher and Duane "Bang" Ludwig, and a light-heavyweight tilt between Vladimir Matyushenko and TUF 8 vet Eliot Marshall are also being reported for the event

SSRS Tablix Group Row NumbersNovember 29th, 2011 | Posted by in Reporting Services
Every now and then I get the requirement to add row numbers to a table in SQL Server Reporting Services. Usually this is simple enough using the row number function - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159225(v=SQL.100).aspx. However, typically becomes a lot less straight forward when requirements are changed slightly!
In this case I was developing a monthly report which returned summarised information by account code for input into a finance system and included several detail sections for auditing and reconciliation. The summary table required a sequence number, which reflected the row number of the table. I had no joy scoping the row number function to the table or group, so started thinking about alternative solutions. The report contained multiple sections using the same source query, so returning multiple queries was inefficient and created duplicate code. Given the tablix is grouped by account code, it's effectively returning a distinct list of account codes. Therefore, the row/sequence number is actually the row number of the account code in a distinct list of the account codes. Once you start looking to utilise this, it's actually fairly simple to get the desired row numbers.
For this example I created a simple table of sample data containing two columns – Account Code and Amount.
I then created a simple tablix grouped by account code – displaying the account code, amount, and a distinct count of the account code. Looking at the output below it's pretty easy to recognise that the row number is a cumulative sum of the distinct count of account codes.
Conveniently there's a function in SSRS to do just that! RunningValue - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159136.aspx. Running value accepts three parameters…
expression - the expression or field to aggregate, in this case the account code field.
function - the aggregate function to apply, in this case count distinct.
scope - the name of the dataset, data region, etc… in this case the tablix.
Having not renamed the tablix, I replaced the distinct count field with the following expression…
=RunningValue(Fields!AccountCode.Value, CountDistinct, "Tablix1")
…and there we have it, row numbers in a tablix group.
