Do you know the brand?
That is the problem I'm running in to. The whole setup was buried in mud and had to be dug out. The only telltale markings on the double check were those I mentioned in the previous e-mail. I was hoping that those were enough to identify. My guess is Toro since the control box and most of the heads were Toro.

The manual has a hint about the message body in 188.8.131.52 saying it's under mail --> en_mail_user.lng but looking in there.. it's not there. Also I have a second question. If you install ISPConfig without having installed, for instance, libapache2-mod-suphp libapache2-mod-ruby and maybe others, Does ISPConfig notice and disable options for these types of web setups, or does it mess the entire thing up because they are not there?

Babygarten is a weekly program for babies birth-18 months and their parent/caregiver. Program consists of nursery rhymes, fingerplays, songs, and activities that can be recreated at home. Circle time lasts approximately 30 minutes. Each week, following circle time, an educational toy or a memory book item is made.
Babygarten believes that reading to babies is one of the most important components of child-rearing; it can contribute to virtually every aspect of growth and development. Most important, however, is the emotional bond that is nurtured by a reading ritual.
Babygarten is an educational curriculum for caregivers and their babies from birth to toddlerhood. Libraries, school districts, hospitals, recreation departments and early childhood organizations use the classes to teach parents how and why to read to babies. The classes involve songs, rhymes and activities that help babies with language acquisition and preliteracy skills.

Since 2006, the University has been the largest single employer in Rochester. This fact is only the most prominent sign that the University helps to drive the economy in the Rochester region.
With a direct payroll of over $500 million and a total budget of $1.4 billion, the University of Rochester Medical Center contributes significantly to the University's effect on the local economy. According to a Center for Governmental Research economic impact study in 2002, the total economic output of the Medical Center is $1.9 billion annually, and a total of 20,000 Rochester-area jobs can be directly or indirectly attributed to the Medical Center and its affiliates.
Patients are drawn to the Medical Center from an area reaching Buffalo, Syracuse, and the Pennsylvania border. Patients from outside Monroe County represent upwards of 60 percent of total clinical services in some specialized areas. Such patients—and the families who often accompany them for extended treament—support local businesses when they, for example, purchase food and lodging.
The new James P. Wilmot Cancer-Center—a 163,000-square-foot facility now under construction—will dramatically increase patient capacity and improve the quality of care. The Center for Governmental Research projects that the expansion will create 1,000 new permanent jobs through direct and indirect employment, provide 750 construction jobs, and lead to at least $18 million annually in new research funds.
University-based research boosts the Rochester economy in a variety of ways. The University of Rochester is among the top ten U.S. universities in licensing revenue, earning just under $40 million in 2006. The Office of Technology Transfer helps to transfer intellectual property licenses to private industry and assists in the creation of start-up companies. Developing such companies and keeping them in Rochester—along with the jobs and revenue they produce—are other areas of success for the University. Rochester-based companies such as Vaccinex, VirtualScopics, Socratech, Koning, LAGet, SiMPore, and iCardiac, to name a few, are all products of University research.
The Center for Electronic Imaging Systems, a NYSTAR Center for Advanced Technology at the University, generated a record $114 million in economic development for New York State in 2006. Over the past five years, CEIS has delivered $315 million in economic impact in New York State in new jobs, revenues, cost savings, capital improvements, and acquired funds.
University scientists and facilities are a resource local companies can harness to advance their research and development objectives. In 2006, the University's Eye Institute and Bausch & Lomb renewed their research partnership, a collaboration that has already produced revolutionary advances in eye surgery. The Medical Center is also working with CareStream (formerly a division of Kodak) to help develop its next generation of digital medical imaging and health care information technologies.
Local companies benefit from leadership provided by graduates of the Simon Graduate School of Business. Thirty-five Simon graduates are CEOs for businesses in the Rochester region, twenty are presidents, twenty-four are CFOs, eleven are COOs, and two are CIOs.
The University is an active participant and leader in regional economic development initiatives, including Greater Rochester Enterprise, the Rochester Business Alliance, the Finger Lakes W.I.R.E.D. Initiative, High Tech Rochester (HTR), the University Technology Seed Fund, and Excell Partners. Two of these organizations, HTR and Excell, were founded by the University and provide critical financial, managerial, and infrastructure support and serv-ices for early-stage high-tech and biotech companies in the region.
The new Center for Entrepreneurship is making use of a $3.5 million grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation and a further $7 million in matching funds to make entrepreneurship integral to courses and schools across the University. A number of entrepreneurship-focused programs have already begun, including the Young Entrepreneurs Academy, which helps children in grades 6 through 12 develop real businesses; the Institute for Music Leadership at the Eastman School, which includes a focus on music entrepreneurship; and the Center for Nursing Entrepreneurship (CNE).
The first of its kind in the United States, the CNE gives nurses the support they need to start and successfully run a business in the health care field, which helps keep experienced nurses in the profession. The CNE currently operates several businesses, including the Center for Lifelong Learning, Health Checkpoint, Passport Health, the Nutrition and Weight Management Center, the school-based clinic at East High School, the Flu Prevention Program, and the Center for Telehealth, which together served more than 35,000 clients in the Rochester area last year.
Using local machinists, high-energy physicists at the University are building a device to shed light on what the universe is made of, where it came from, and what its fate may be. Down a 400-foot well at the Fermi National Accelerator, they are constructing a detector to study neutrinos, the "ghost particles" of the universe, in more detail than anyone ever has before.
When Fermilab asked University of Rochester physicist Kevin McFarland to head the construction of a new kind of neutrino experiment, he readily looked to local businesses to help with the enormous undertaking.
"The construction project employs many engineers, both the university's own technical crew and outside machinists for making custom parts," says McFarland. "Even some of the raw material for the detector comes from local vendors where possible." New York Manufacturing, a seven-person shop run by husband and wife team Sal and Bo Anselmo, is one of the local facilities to which McFarland turned to help build the detector. The shop recently built part of the support structure—a large, 14-foot-long platform. "This is one of the biggest platforms we've made," says Sal Anselmo.
Before the neutrino detector is finished in 2009, McFarland hopes as much as $3 million may flow into the local economy from the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation and the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council in the United Kingdom.
In 1999, two University researchers decided to see if they could make software do what radiologists naturally do in their heads—take the many flat images from an MRI, CAT, or ultrasound scan, and turn them into three-dimensional models. The raw scans become vivid renditions of bones, joints, and organs, all easily manipulated so a doctor can zoom around and into any structure to see how it may actually look inside a living patient.
Kevin Parker, dean of the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences, and Saara Totterman, professor of radiology, teamed with two graduate students, José Tamez-Pena and Edward Ashton, to create VirtualScopics. The University granted a sabbatical and reduced workloads to help them get started.
"The involvement of the university is a significant resource," Parker said. "It allowed VirtualScopics to expand its capabilities, or to solve problems without spending huge sums of money finding someone from outside Rochester." VirtualScopics has now developed successful collaborative relationships with companies such as Pfizer Inc., Johnson & Johnson, GE Healthcare, and others.
"Everyone is interested right now in the economic future of high-tech New York," Parker says. "The question is what are the elements that need to be in place for a good high-tech economic future, and one of the elements is venture capital; you also need a generator of new technologies and people who want to employ the new technologies as entrepreneurs. And the University has been stepping up to do that."
Taking a walk along the Genesee River will soon be a whole new experience—for both city residents and the University of Rochester community. University CFO Ronald Paprocki says several projects in southwest Rochester will help connect the campus to its neighbors across the river while creating a vibrant "college town."
Brooks Landing—the privately-funded waterfront development between Brooks Avenue and Genesee Street—will include an 80-room hotel as well as a retail and office building occupied in part by the University, a coffee shop, and additional retail space. The development should be completed by the spring of 2008.
The University is also partnering with private developers to bring a five-building, 120-unit apartment complex to South Plymouth Avenue that will provide housing to about 400 University students. The Riverview Apartments are scheduled to open in the fall of 2008. "Feedback from our Sector 4 neighbors, city leaders, and the University community has been overwhelmingly positive," Paprocki said. "Everyone is excited for this new opportunity to revitalize the area and enhance our relationship with the city."

Beliefs and NLP
Our decisions and actions, therefore, our lives lives are determined by what we believe in ourselves and our world.
Even our health is affected by our beliefs.
We have been propagandized from an early age to believe in our limitations and to suppress our potential.
Therefore, it is important to realize the impact that beliefs have and to decide whether they serve us, or not, in order to explore our potential.
Neuro Linguistic Programming is an effective a tool. It is based on the study of how the mind processes information. It can be used to change beliefs; for therapeutic ends - which is what we are advocating, or for dark purposes (mind control, herd mentality, subliminal advertising, etc).
Biology of Belief
Dr. Bruce Lipton, author of the Biology of Belief, explains how the your environment physically affects your cells, and by extension, your health. He further describes the difference between your conscious mind (which creates your wishes and desires) and the unconscious mind (which is responsibe for your behavior and is based on beliefs and past programming). He then explains how to change behavior through living in the moment to turn off past programming as well as creating new habits. Lastly, he tells us how to create heaven on Earth.

Is it just my imagination, or is the Newport Beach City Council a little duplicitous? First they attack local businesses, mooring owners and waterfront residents by punitively raising taxes for their "exclusive" use of public lands and because the city needs the money.
Then they give the Girl Scouts a $1 per year lease for "exclusive" use of a taxpayer-owned clubhouse because the city can afford it. Next they condemn California Department of Fish and Wildlife for having the audacity to charge visitors for a Lands Pass to use the Back Bay trails, but they don't oppose U.S. Department of Fish and Game fees for a license to fish in Newport Harbor.
Don't misunderstand: None of these taxes/fees should be charged. We pay enough taxes/fees as it is. And the Girl Scouts should have their sweetheart — no pun intended — lease if the city can afford it.
Duplicitous? Naw, I guess it's just my imagination!

Hoag 'abandoned' its healthcare responsibility
Some people see the world in absolute, black-and-white terms; others see it in various shades and hues. To the absolutists, every action, every moral decision is either all good or all bad. But to others, like me, every serious decision involves some good and some bad, and we try to choose the greater good or the lesser bad.
Absolutists describe a fertilized egg as "a living child." I do not. This morning I ate a hen's egg. Did I eat a chicken? No. Regardless of whether the egg was fertilized, it was just an egg.
A fertilized human egg is not a child; it's a single cell. If it develops and implants in the uterine wall, it's an embryo, and a pregnancy begins. If it miscarries, do we hold a funeral? Do we hold a memorial service every time a woman menstruates because an egg may have been fertilized but failed to implant? No, in both cases, because no human being has died.
So please, let's cut the hysterical nonsense and talk about what's really at stake: A full-service hospital has abandoned its responsibility to provide complete healthcare to women, in favor of submitting to Catholic dogma forbidding abortion and, eventually, it may eliminate contraception, tubal ligation, in vitro fertilization and other reproductive healthcare prohibited by the "Ethical and Religious Directives" adopted by St. Joseph's Health Systems.
Taking away a woman's decision whether to carry a pregnancy to term is wrong on three grounds.
First, it doesn't work. Laws and restrictions against abortion have always been disregarded by women desperate not to have a child, or yet another child. Many lives have been lost because a woman undertook desperate measures to terminate a pregnancy.
Second, it is insulting and completely disrespectful to treat women as morally deficient, lacking the capacity to make responsible decisions about the most intimate aspect of their lives.
Third, every abortion is an effort to avoid a worse outcome, in the judgment of the person most deeply and personally concerned. How dare anyone substitute his judgment for hers?
What are people who would restrict abortions doing to make them unnecessary? Are they promoting safe and reliable contraception and making it available to all who choose it? If not, they are acting irresponsibly and have no business meddling in the lives of other people.

Catholic hierarchy should not override medical care
RE: the June 28 commentary, "Hoag is free to make its own choice":
I am very disappointed in Hoag Hospital — our good community hospital that we all used to trust and value — for making the decision to stop performing elective abortions in order to gain an affiliation with St. Joseph Health System.
As bad as that decision is, there is reason to believe that it is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the other restrictions that Catholic hospitals typically require of their partners. This includes restrictions on all birth control measures including tubal ligations (tubes tied), vasectomies and emergency contraception for rape victims, as well as fertility treatments and end-of-life decisions.
Catholic healthcare directives specifically state, "A Catholic health care institution ... will not honor an advance directive that is contrary to Catholic teaching" and "Catholic healthcare institutions may never condone or participate in [Death with Dignity] in any way." That includes even a prohibition on doctors discussing end-of-life options that exist in other institutions or making referrals.
Will Catholic bishops prohibit abortions at Hoag even when a doctor determines that there is a life-threatening risk to the mother in continuing her pregnancy? We need to know exactly what Hoag agreed to.
The common theme of these directives is that the authority of the Catholic bishops overrides the medical needs or beliefs of the individual patient.
Our community's healthcare experience up until this point has been one directed only by the patient in consultation with his or her doctor, but these directives insert the entire Catholic hierarchy into healthcare decisions.
It is this intrusion into our personal health that we are fighting to prevent. It is naïve to believe that these changes won't happen at Hoag if Hoag continues with its St. Joseph Health affiliation.

Steve Ball Co-Authors Nature Article, March 16, 2001
SOCORRO, N.M., March 15, 2001 -- Steven C. Ball, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering at New Mexico Tech, is listed as one of the co- authors of an article published in today's issue of the scientific journal Nature, which describes a startling discovery made last summer by Ball and 13 other college students who were doing research on the Very Large Array (VLA) radiotelescope.
On July 27, Ball and his research colleagues pointed the 27 gigantic receiving dishes of the VLA for 90 minutes at a brown dwarf--a dim celestial object that is something between a large planet and a tiny star--and saw the unexpected: radio emissions emanating from the brown dwarf, signifying that energetic flares many times more powerful than the most energetic flares of our own sun were being shot out of the enigmatic object.
The Nature article, titled "Discovery of Radio Emission from the Brown Dwarf LP944-20," is shaking up the astronomical community because the existence of such powerful emissions from a brown dwarf could shed light on the dividing line between how stars and planets are formed.

Sometimes when teams get good they have to let good players go. The 2007 Philadelphia Phillies, for instance, had Michael Bourn and Kyle Lohse on their roster and neither were major contributors. Jayson Werth was of course also on Philly before coming to Washington.
It took a lot of roster turnover to transform the Nats into what they are today, a playoff team and division champion. Just look at the 2010 squad, nine different pitchers who made appearances with that team have yet to pitch again in the majors. (Luis Atilano, Scott Olsen, J.D. Martin, Tyler Walker, Jesse English, Matt Chico, Joe Bisenius, Garrett Mock, and Jason Bergmann)
The Nationals over the past few years have traded players away and let others go via free agency, some simply because it was time they switched to the American League. But looking at who has left and where they are now, the talent pool of ex-Nationals players really isn't that bad.
Here is how I see a team of former Nationals players (still active in the majors) stacking up. The stats included are those from their 2012 seasons.
C – Derek Norris (.201 BA, 7 HR, 34 RBI)
1B – Adam Dunn (.204 BA, 41 HR, 96 RBI)
2B – Emilio Bonifacio (.258 BA, 30 R, 30 SB)
SS – Jerry Hairston (.273 BA, 4 HR, 26 RBI)
3B – Alfonso Soriano (.262 BA, 32 HR, 108 RBI)
LF – Josh Willingham (.260 BA, 35 HR, 110 RBI)
CF – Justin Maxwell (.229 BA, 18 HR, 53 RBI)
RF – Jonny Gomes (.262 BA, 18 HR, 47 RBI)
BN – Wil Nieves (32 G, .301 BA, 8 RBI)
BN – Marlon Byrd (47 G, .210 BA, 10 R)
BN – Laynce Nix (.256 BA, 3 HR, 16 RBI)
BN – Pete Orr (35 G, .315 BA, 7 RBI)
BN – Austin Kearns (.245 BA, 21 R, 16 RBI)
A lineup of former Nationals looks a lot better after 2012 than it did a year before. Adam Dunn had a huge comeback from his awful 2011 with 41 home runs and a league-best 105 walks. He made his second career All-Star appearance and would be the centerpiece of this hypothetical batting order. Dunn along with Soriano, Willingham, Maxwell, Gomes, and even Norris would pack a ton of power.
The ex-Nationals lineup overall would be quite lopsided. Their infield in general would be old and ineffective. Hairston and Orr would likely platoon at shortstop given their age. And Alfonso Soriano would have to move back to the infield given the outfield depth. Willingham, Maxwell, Gomes, and Byrd would combine to man the outfield.
The Nats would be okay at catcher with Norris and Nieves. Norris is a decent starter having blocked the plate for the division champion Oakland Athletics. The bench would also be serviceable with Nix and the fourth outfielder ready to go.
SP – Tommy Milone (13-10, 3.74 ERA, 190.0 IP)
SP – Jason Marquis (8-11, 5.22 ERA, 127.2 IP)
SP – Livan Hernandez (4-1, 6.42 ERA, 67.1 IP)
SP – Brad Peacock (played in minors)
SP – Miguel Batista (1-3, 4.61 ERA, 52.2 IP)
The starting rotation of an ex-Nationals team would be its biggest weakness. The Nats themselves were poor in this department before getting Stephen Strasburg and Gio Gonzalez, so this could be expected. Milone turned into a quality starting pitcher after being traded to Oakland and led the A.L. West champions in wins and innings pitched. The rest of the rotation, with the exception of Peacock, saw their best years a long time ago. Peacock had promise when he was traded to the A's, but never made it out of the Pacific Coast League in 2012. He had an ugly 6.01 ERA through 134 2/3 innings in the minors.
CL – Joel Hanrahan (2.72 ERA, 36 SV, 59.2 IP)
RP – Joel Peralta (3.63 ERA, 0.985 WHIP, 67.0 IP)
RP – Jon Rauch (3.59 ERA, 0.988 WHIP, 57.2 IP)
RP – Matt Capps (3.68 ERA, 1.091 WHIP, 14 SV)
RP – Doug Slaten (2.77 ERA, 13.0 IP)
RP – Todd Coffey (4.66 ERA, 19.1 IP)
RP – Chad Gaudin (4-2, 4.54 ERA, 69.1 IP)
The bullpen of the ex-Nationals would be quite decent. Hanrahan is probably the posterboy of former Nats players as even general manager Mike Rizzo has expressed regret for trading him. Peralta, Rauch, and Capps are quality relievers and the overall depth is good. Slaten would be the only left-hander which would pose a problem.
All in all, the group of former Nationals still active in the major isn't that bad. Making the playoffs would be unlikely, but there is certainly more talent there than the current Miami Marlins.

Carrboro Pediatrics and Internal Medicine (CPIM) provides highly trained doctors for children and adults along with great patient support, a combination that can't be beat.
Our practice and philosophy are somewhat different from many primary care offices. Appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes. That extra time is spent discussing you and your concerns, as well as diagnostic possibilities, treatment options, illness prevention, and, most importantly, health promotion. You are not required to spend that long with your physician, but when was the last time you left your doctor's office feeling like all questions were answered?
By choosing one of our providers, you have selected a healthcare partner trained in all major areas of primary care, which includes pediatrics (primary care for children), internal medicine (primary care for adults), as well as basic well woman care and men's health.
Your doctor and our office will help coordinate your care, along with prescriptions and referrals to specialists, should you need them.
In addition, we are all board-certified in both pediatrics and internal medicine. We are required to recertify in these disciplines every 10 years, as well as maintain rigorous annual continuing education. Therefore, you can be assured that your doctor continues to learn throughout his or her career, providing you with up-to-date medical care.

October 5, 2012 — The Oklahoma Department of Health will not renew a contract with Planned Parenthood of the Heartland to provide services through the federal Women, Infants and Children program in the Tulsa area, the Tulsa World reports. WIC provides food vouchers for low-income pregnant women, women who have recently given birth, and infants and children younger than age five.
State officials said they did not renew the contract because of a large decrease in caseloads, problematic billing practices and high costs per participant at PPH facilities. The state said a January 2011 audit found problems with how PPH documented and billed certain costs (Muchmore, Tulsa World, 10/5).
PPH's clinics received a total of $454,000 from the contract this year, according to the AP/USA Today (Murphy, AP/USA Today, 10/4).
According to an analysis of state data by the World, PPH's three clinics in Tulsa County handled 16.6% of the 166,259 WIC cases in the county from October 2011 to July 2012. The caseload for PPH's clinics decreased from 38,884 participants in 2011 to 27,550 in 2012.
The state said the Tulsa Health Department -- the county's largest WIC provider -- will be able to absorb participants who currently receive services through PPH. One of the PPH clinics was the only WIC provider in the Tulsa area open on Saturdays.
Planned Parenthood Response
PPH CEO Jill June said the contract termination was politically motivated and that the organization did not receive "substantial documents following the audit voicing any concerns with our program."
"The unclear reasoning and poor justification for eliminating access to WIC services for women and children through Planned Parenthood is backed by a political ideology to get rid of Planned Parenthood," June said in a statement, adding, "If this shortsighted decision stands, mothers and young children will be forced to bear the consequences."
PPH's clinics do not provide abortion services and instead offer abortion referrals (Tulsa World, 10/5).

American solar companies are not alone in their battle with Chinese trade cheating. The Obama administration recently imposed tariffs because Chinese "dumping" was hurting American companies (like Solyndra). German solar companies are also bringing trade complaints against China for pricing their products below cost to try to put companies in other countries out of business.
Oil-backed Republicans are fighting our solar industry tooth-and-nail, complaining that the Obama administration attempted to foster an alternative-energy industry that could bring us a share of millions of new jobs and trillions of dollars. They even trumped up a phony scandal about Solyndra
Businessweek: Solarworld-Led Group Files China Anti-Dumping Case in Europe,
Solarworld AG (SWV), Germany's largest solar-panel maker, led a group of manufacturers in requesting the European Commission investigate whether Chinese competitors dumped products at below-market rates on regional markets.
The EU ProSun group filed the anti-dumping complaint in Brussels after a similar request in the U.S. resulted in duties on solar imports from China. The group has 25 members including companies from Italy, Spain and Germany's Sovello GmbH, EU ProSun President Milan Nitzschke said today.
"A majority of the European solar industry backs the complaint," Nitzschke said by e-mail. "Chinese companies are offering their products below manufacturing costs despite their own massive losses."
In May I wrote about the Obama administration imposing tariffs on Chinese solar panels: Will Conservatives Support American Companies … Or Chinese?
In March I laid out the case: Tariffs On Chinese Solar Might Help Prevent The Next Solyndra

In the last few weeks, pundits have been using every method under the sun to predict the Presidential election from hard statistical data (Nate Silver) to counting lawn signs (Peggy Noonan).
Let's, for just a moment, put all that aside and do things the Wall Street way. Sure, most people in the industry are vocal supporters of Mitt Romney, but are they putting their money where their mouths are?
LPL Financial's Jeff Kleintop has been tracking that specific question over the past year. His analysis, called the Wall Street Election Poll, focuses on specific sectors that are likely to move based on the outcome of the Presidential race.
"I originally put it together to see if poll data actually moved with investing," Kleintop told Business Insider. "On any given day you can see idiosyncracies driving these companies... but over time the election has had an impact."
Around June he noted a swing toward Democratic victory after Obama's healthcare bill was upheld in the Supreme Court. That meant increased investment in industries like construction, home building, health care, food and staples etc.
After the first debate, though, Kleintop noticed a some momentum in the other direction. Coal stocks spiked 26% after Romney mentioned the commodity several times during his strong performance. Other Republican industry favorite include oil and gas, specialty retail, and electric utilities.
Still, the Democras seem to be holding on.
Of course, the Presidential race isn't the only thing to consider. There's also the Senate (from Kleintop's most recent note)
As we have noted in the past, the outcome of the Senate is of key importance in this election. The Republicans are very likely to retain control the House, and increasingly, it appears the Democrats may retain control of the Senate. Markets may fear another two years of a divided Congress... This matters a lot to investors because the 2013 budget is going to have the biggest impact of any budget in decades. The fiscal headwind composed of tax increases and spending cuts already in the law is likely to result in a recession and bear market for stocks if no action is taken. Congress has important decisions to make, and the stakes are very high. The dwindling prospects for Republicans in the Senate may have limited the outperformance by Republican-favored industries.
Kleintop also considers what will happen for the rest of the year given the fact that Congress is going into lame duck mode. Historically, the closer the Presidential election (and this is a close one) the more wildly the market will swing through the rest of the year.
For example, when in 1980, Carter was ahead of Reagan in the polls up to October 26th. Reagan, as we know, eventually won that one, and the S&P 500 went on to range 10% post-election.
While we are in for a lame duck session this year, Kleintop expects that to be offset by the fact that Congress has to face the fiscal cliff. That means action. As a result, he expects the S&P to hold on to its 12% gain for the most part, or see a slight move toward the downside of a few percentage points.

If you're an Internet user, chances are you know about the GIF, an image format that predates the World Wide Web. It was invented in 1987 at CompuServe, then a largely text-based online service. GIF stands for Graphic Interchange Format, and to say it has withstood the test of Internet time is an understatement.
A GIF can be a static image, but these days it's often used to create simple animations that are easily shared via the Web, email or social networks. They are at the heart of sites like Tumblr, which sold this week to Yahoo for $1.1 billion.
Great animated GIFs are brief moments of joy. Here are three of my favorites.
Yes, I'm a big fan of cat GIFs. Deal with it.
You can thank Steve Wilhite for GIFs. And on Tuesday night, the Web itself did just that. Wilhite, who came up with the GIF while working as an engineer at CompuServe, was given a lifetime achievement award at the 2013 Webby Awards. Fittingly, Tumblr founder David Karp introduced Wilhite.
You'll notice that Karp never actually says the word "GIF" out loud in this video. Smart man. That's because the pronunciation of GIF has long been a subject of intense debate on the Internet.
Some people pronounce it "jif", with a soft G. Others prefer "gif", with a hard G. Which is correct?
According to the man who came up with it, it's "jif". In an email interview with the New York Times' Bits blog in advance of Tuesday's ceremony, Wilhite made that very clear:
He is proud of the GIF, but remains annoyed that there is still any debate over the pronunciation of the format.
"The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations," Mr. Wilhite said. "They are wrong. It is a soft 'G,' pronounced 'jif.' End of story."
To allow its users to view images, CompuServe offered a program called CompuShow. The pronunciation of GIF apparently was an early matter of disagreement, because in a Frequently Asked Questions document distributed with the software, the issue of how to say GIF was addressed:
The GIF (Graphics Interchange Format), pronounced "JIF", was designed by CompuServe and the official specification released in June of 1987.
Regardless, people who've used the hard-G version in error all these years stick to their guns, and with the NYTimes piece on Wilhite's award, the debate flared anew on social media, particularly on Twitter. It raged hard enough that #GIF was a trending topic for much of Tuesday evening. I suspect most normal people found it annoying.
My Twitter stream is all about the Super Bowl and how to pronounce a stupid word, you guys are the WORST.
— Alex Ragsdale (@alexrags) May 22, 2013
I've always been a soft-G GIF person myself, so I waded into the fray to stand up for what's right and true.
@calebgarling I think the inventor's word takes precedence over the sloppy language habits of the masses.
— dwight silverman (@dsilverman) May 21, 2013
@calebgarling For example, would you argue with @linus_torvalds about the pronunciation of Linux? bit.ly/YXHyIR Of course not!
— dwight silverman (@dsilverman) May 21, 2013
This drew the attention of Houston-area attorney Mark Bennett, who expanded it to a general discussion of disputed pronunciations. He wanted to focus on the way Houston residents say words common to the area, and he opted to drag Mayor Annise Parker into the discussion.
@dsilverman Where do you come out on "bayou"? @anniseparker
— Mark W. Bennett (@MarkWBennett) May 21, 2013
I said I pronounce it "bye-yoo", but Parker took the bait, jumped in and begged to differ.
I'm from Houston. It is Buffalo Bayou, pronounced Bye-oh, not Bye-you!-A@dsilverman @markwbennett
— Annise Parker (@anniseparker) May 22, 2013
The mayor certainly has a right to be wrong, but what I really wanted to know: Where does she stand on GIF?
Her response was that of a master politician:
@dsilverman LOL. I have never said anything but GIF.
— Annise Parker (@anniseparker) May 22, 2013
So where do you come down on the pronunciation of GIF? Hard or soft G? And "bayou"? Bye-oh or bye-yoo?
Let us know in the comments.

The Barbara Hale nature preserve along Accabonac Harbor in Springs has long been slated to be restored to its traditional state as an open meadow, but questions arose this week after a landscape designer, at the invitation of the town's natural resources director, removed dozens of trees there using machinery.
The State Department of Environmental Conservation issued a permit months ago for clearing some of the locusts, black cherries, and invasive species that have filled in the expanse stretching to the wetlands. It prohibited the use of mechanized equipment, requiring everything slated for removal to be cut using hand tools. Suffolk County, a co-owner of the land with East Hampton Town, also specified that the clearing be done only by hand.
After a visit to the site early last week, Scott Wilson, the town's director of land acquisition and management, issued a memo to the town board, along with photographs, noting that a "tracked excavator had significantly disturbed a portion of the property."
Such disturbance of the ground, Mr. Wilson wrote, allows invasive species to seed and take root, and is "what the D.E.C. permit was specifically trying to prevent."
Larry Penny, the town's natural resources director, said on Tuesday that as of the end of last week, 430 black locust trees and 600 cherries had been removed from the preserve.
Last fall, he said, Edwina von Gal, a landscape designer who lives in the vicinity, had called to see if she could dig out some of the black cherry trees that were to be cut, in order to replant them elsewhere. "Rather than kill them, I said okay," Mr. Penny said Tuesday. As the trees are a native species, he said he had no objection to their being replanted.
The natural resources director said that 40 trees were dug out and removed by Ms. Von Gal, and that he had "no idea" how it was done.
In his memo to the board, Mr. Wilson said that a neighbor reported seeing 130 trees dug up, wrapped in burlap, and removed, and that trucks and heavy equipment were brought onto the site to do the work.
Mr. Penny said that he had okayed allowing machines into the preserve to remove the tree stumps in order to avoid problems in the future, when the restored meadow would be regularly mowed.
Though the original clearing permit prohibited this, he said, "I got the okay from the lady who gave me the D.E.C. permit." He refused to name the D.E.C. official, but said he had spoken to her by phone.
Ms. von Gal said in an e-mail on Tuesday that the trees were dug out by hand and taken away using "rubber tire small equipment." Plywood was laid down, she said, to minimize soil compaction and the area was raked and seeded with native grasses. The Accabonac Protection Committee, she noted, "have worked so long to get this field cleared, [we] hoped we could jump-start the effort and save the town some money for removals. And the trees will live on in the 'reveg' area," she said.
Mr. Wilson said in his memo that he brought the matter to the town board's attention because both the conditions of the D.E.C. permit and the wishes of the county had been violated. The town's management of properties co-owned with the county has been a source of contention between the two entities in the past.
Mr. Wilson also questioned how the town would be compensated for trees that, if taken by a landscape company, could be sold.
The situation points out a discrepancy between the responsibilities of the town's Natural Resources Department, where Mr. Penny has been charged with obtaining various permits from the D.E.C. and carrying out projects, and the Land Acquisition and Management Department, which has been overseeing management of nature preserves for several years.
"I think there was a lot of pressure to get things done, and this is how he approached it," Councilman Pete Hammerle said yesterday of Mr. Penny. "I just hope there is no problem with the D.E.C., and the property is not disturbed."
The status of the meadow restoration project has been raised at numerous town board meetings over the last year, with board members questioning when the work would get under way. Neither Town Supervisor Bill Wilkinson nor other members of the board responded to an e-mail seeking comment on the matter.
The preserve is named for the late Barbara Hale, a longtime Accabonac resident and naturalist. Unlike a number of the town's nature preserves, a specific management plan for the site has not been adopted, but the town nature preserve committee has long endorsed the meadow restoration plan.
Although there are numerous cherry saplings in the preserve that are tagged for removal, work there is on hold until after Aug. 15, the end of the period when work could disturb breeding or nesting grassland birds.

Rewards for information in two animal cruelty cases have increased, and police still are seeking information about both incidents.
Rewards for information in two animal cruelty cases have increased, and police still are seeking information about both incidents.
Gadsden Police Capt. Regina May on Wednesday said a woman is offering a $100 reward for information leading to an arrest in a case of a dog burned alive in Gadsden this summer.
Officers were called about 5:53 p.m. July 28 to a residence on Abercrombie Street on a report someone had set a dog on fire. When officers arrived, they found a small garbage bag still smoldering, and the body of a small dog inside the bag.
May said at the time that police believed the dog was alive when it was set on fire.
Police also are still seeking information in the case of Skip, a 9-year-old Dachshund found dead earlier this month after being skinned alive.
The dog was tied in the backyard of a residence and was there about 3 a.m., Gadsden Police Sgt. Mike Hooks said. It was found in an alley behind a home on West Tuscaloosa Avenue in Alabama City after daybreak.
Police are looking for John Michael Smith, 33, Gadsden as a person of interest in the case.
May said that reward fund is $700, after more contributions from local residents.
Anyone with information in either case is asked to call May at 256-549-4616.

Dead Space 3 is aiming to be the biggest and best Dead Space game yet, as you step into the shoes of Issac Clarke to take on the Necromorphs. Dead Space 3 is the fourth instalment in the Dead Space game series (Extraction knocked the numbers off).
We sat down with EA and Visceral Games to have a play through a section of one of the early levels of the game. Due for release in February 2013, it's still a long way from launch date, but the important elements of Dead Space 3 are all in place.
Announced at E3 2012, with teasers of various features, we had the feeling that Dead Space 3 might be slightly diluted, that the core gaming experience might have been shifted slightly to appeal to a wider gaming audience. From the E3 trailer (below), it looks like a shooter.
We pitched this to Visceral Games, which reassured us that all the core Dead Space features were there, and fans of the series will get the same single-player play-through they expect. So you have the shock factor, the gruesome situations, the frights, the isolation and atmosphere. Visceral says this is what Dead Space is about and that's not going to change.
The difference, however, comes in co-op mode, which makes its debut in Dead Space 3. Co-op means you can play as John Carver with a friend, or invite someone to join you. It's online co-op, not local. This isn't a diluted co-op mode with gawky missions, it's the same game, the same story, locations and everything else.
Co-op does bring some changes with it. There are dedicated cutscenes and dialogue, of course, to make co-op fit in seamlessly, so it brings new elements not seen before, along with the chance to explore the somewhat frosty relationship between Clarke and Carver.
The idea behind co-op is to appeal to all those gamers not too set on the intensity of the Dead Space experience. It means you can work as a pair, giving each other some sort of moral support as you move through the game.
It also means that if you have a friend playing and you get stuck - and the integration of various interactive puzzles means this is a distinct possibility - then your friend can drop in and help you out. And that's how co-op works: it's drop-in, drop-out so completely flexible.
Some might see that as diluting the Dead Space experience, but Visceral and EA see it as a method of bringing Dead Space 3 to a wider audience who might not have seen the appeal previously. So, widening the appeal yes; diluting the experience, no.
If you're a fan of Dead Space, you'll have no doubt seen the new ice planet. Known as Tau Volantis (we're already calling it Hoth), Visceral told us that the ice planet may well hold the key to stopping the necromorphs.
We didn't get the chance to play on Tau Volantis, but the new location doesn't abandon the principles of Dead Space. Blizzards restrict your vision and deep snow will restrict your movement, as well as your having to deal with the cold. The new environment is designed to keep things fresh for Dead Space gamers and introduce new dynamics not previously seen.
On to the actual level we played, Visceral didn't tell us too much, it was a case of getting involved and seeing what happened. Set on a research ship, the aim was to retrieve a data key. The level wasn't complete, for example some of the in-game video content (played on a monitor) was missing, but otherwise, graphically, it looked superb.
Darkness is obviously key and at points in the level you have the slight feeling of panic because you know that something is out there and you just can't spot it. The audio is superb at reinforcing this, building tension and setting the scene.
As we played through the level, we were faced with various challenges. The necromophs are perhaps the least of the problems, although we did manage to take a few hits while clubbing some of the gruesomely animated corpses. There are new necromorphs in Dead Space 3 and one that we saw brings with it a few chuckles too.
Little reanimation critters come scurrying out and invade any corpse lying around, so in our case - as we turned to leave an area having completed a task - some of the dead workers were invaded and transformed before our eyes. It's amusing to some degree, watching the conversion and then slaughtering your new enemies.
Everything in your armoury is on test and sometimes it's a case of trying a range of things to see what lets you move on. Interacting with the environment is critical: it's about lifts, switches, opening doors, rerouting power and so on.
It's really this part that makes Dead Space 3 interesting, based on what we've played for far. It isn't just a fright-a-minute, it's interactive and immersive. There's story, there are things you have to think about as you progress. It's these elements, rather than the fighting, that might see you opting for that new co-op mode.
Sadly our time with Dead Space 3 was limited, but it looks set to be a fantastic continuance of the Dead Space story. It's set for release in February 2013 and having played a short section, that feels like an awfully long time to wait.

You may call me a bluff old traditionalist but football was always meant to be played on grass.
Yes, of course as kids we kicked a ball on cobbled streets, skinning knees and elbows, or in cinder yards at the nearest factory, ripping skin from almost every limb.
And once we graduated to grass at some junior level, we didn't care if there was more brown mud than green sward.
Indeed we relished the mud. It hadn't been a "proper" game if you didn't go home filthy dirty and wet through.
Maybe that's why I always had a soft spot for Derby County, until the club left the slime of a pitch, where re-painting the penalty spot famously aoccurred during a game.
However, three weeks of postponements due to rain had taken their toll, and in order to get my "fix" I somewhat reluctantly trekked off to a club with a 3G pitch.
On arrival there was already a game taking place, two teams of 14-year-olds who were clearly hardier than their anxious parents were prepared to accept.
The rain hammered down incessantly, the path surrounding the pitch became flooded, and parents urged the referee to abandon the game, presumably due to some irrational fear that their precious offspring would melt if they got wet.
This is the same logic that applies when loading these children into a huge 4x4 for a 300-yard school run.
No matter that the kids were enjoying themselves, some parents were clearly not enamoured. I was baffled that they wanted the game to finish. After all, how else were the adults going to atone for their own sporting failures of the past?
And presumably these kids are happy to receive eight different instructions whenever the ball comes near them.
Maybe the artificial pitch IS the way forward. Maybe the Football Association WILL keep their promise to invest in 3G and 4G pitches.
Maybe non-stop football on a perfect surface is to the liking of many. Give me mud, rain, slide tackles, and a hot bath afterwards every time.
Following the junior game came the "main event", the open-age match, where coaches mimicked
their Premier League counterparts by holding their arms outstretched every time the long-suffering referee had the temerity to award a decision to the opposition. A hard-fought game ended in a 5-2 result, a fair reflection.
I observed the last 20 minutes from the clubhouse, accompanied by the eight spectators who had been shifted from sheltering in one of the dugouts, partaking of a welcome cuppa.
Two hardy souls remained out in the downpour...they were running the line. Cocooned in full waterproofs they manfully carried on. Both were keen and, more importantly, honest. I have never before seen so much complaining by players at their "own" liner, but in the face of such intimidation their resolve held. I raise my sodden cap to you both.

A Crash Course In Monogramming Etiquette
But before you jump on the bandwagon, there are a few rules of etiquette to observe. We turned to Britney Vickery and Ivy Hall, sisters and co-founders of Initials, Inc, for a crash course in styles and traditions, as well as rounded up some key pieces--including chic clutches, towels, and slippers--that are primed for your monogram.
Image of Olivia Palermo, courtesy of Getty Images; Image of Katharine Hepburn, courtesy of Everett Collection.
Lana Petite Signet Ring ($498)
"The traditional format is built with the first, last, and middle initial of the individual's name. Your surname initial would appear slightly larger in the center."
2jours Bag ($2260, 310.276.8888) in Black Cherry
"The format is the same as traditional, but a three-initial monogram can appear with all three letters the same size."
Monogram Geo Plate ($38)
"There are no formal guides for proper etiquette with one-letter monograms. Either the initial of the first or last name is selected. This monogram offers flexibility, as it can be larger than a traditional one!"
Clare Vivier for Shutters on the Beach Canvas Tote with Mini Signature Clutch ($220) Yellow/Royal Blue
"The beauty of a two-letter monogram is that it's more of an art form. When capturing an individual's first and last name, or a couple with two different surnames, the initials appear interlocked equally."
"When combining a monogram for two lovebirds, unity is conveyed in this manner. The bride's first name initial is placed on the left, the groom's first name initial on the right, and the couple's surname initial appears slightly larger in the center."
Monogrammed Classic Canvas Slip Ons ($59) in Natural
"In many circles, proper etiquette states that monograms for infants and younger children appear as first, last, and middle name initials, while teenagers adopt a more casual style of first, middle, and last name initials with all letters the same size. It's safer to tag children's clothing with their monograms instead of a first name, preventing the child being duped by strangers who pretend to know them using their name."
"A woman's monogram typically follows the format of first, middle, and last initials. A married woman's monogram traditionally reads first initial, maiden name initial, and married surname initial. If the married woman has a hyphenated last name, the first initial of the last surname would be used as it would match her spouse's monogram and is proper etiquette."
Monogram Raglan Sweater ($485)
"Monograms are a fun way to express the unique style of the individual. Be bold and break away from traditional monogram forms using a word that expresses a personality trait or describes the purpose of the product. The key is to have fun with monograms and reflect your own unique personal style. As with any art form, conventions and the methods are always evolving."
Pave Diamond Signet Dog Tag Necklace ($451-$865)
Canvas with Leather Weekender Bag ($199) and Canvas with Leather Cosmetic Bags ($24-$28)

I am often amazed at the connections that happen through fishing. Indeed, "connections" is too sterile a word. They can be profoundly serendipitous, community-building, and often lifelong.
Fishing is about connections. The most obvious one is between human and fish.
A classic blessing among anglers is "tight lines"—a quick way of saying, "may you often find yourself connected to a fish."
It is easy to think that tools and implements — from screwdrivers to spatulas, plows to pliers, or automobiles to arc welders — are passive things, whose use is determined by the user. There is some truth in this, of course. But it's also true that we are shaped by our tools. There is wisdom in the old saying that when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
July is here. It came rolling in on a ponderous thunderhead, announcing its presence not so much with peals of lightning (though there were those) but with its oppressive air — like the heavy hand of the 1980s Soviet Union.
I went down to the river this evening to do a little fishing. Supper was done. I'd washed the dishes. The rest of my family was busy with other evening activities. And I still had about 90 minutes remaining until dusk. Casting a few flies and perhaps dancing with a trout at the end of a taut line seemed like a perfect way to end the day.
May 20. I stand wading in the New Haven River. There may be no such thing as a stereotypical Vermont May day. I've seen snow squalls as late as Memorial Day, and temperatures in the 80s before the start of turkey season. It can cloud over and rain for a week, and we can see nothing but sunshine for a whole month. Or we can see all four of the above in the span of four days.
I began 2013 with a mental fishing "wish list." There are a few perennial entries: an all-expenses-paid trip for Atlantic salmon in Labrador or Newfoundland; more time to fish in my favorite Vermont rivers (plus a trip or two with family and friends to Maine and New York); and an increase in the quality trout waters in the state.

Here are some photos from Peru taken on my Holga film camera. I've only just started shooting on film for a bit of fun so still getting to grips with it.

What gorgeous, unique photos, Squirrel! I'm so glad you had such a good time in Peru (!!!) and that you're feeling so well right now. Nothing like a holiday far away from the norm to give you a fresh outlook.ReplyDelete

Cityscape: San Antonio Express-News building
The San Antonio Express-News building at Avenue E and Third Street stands iconic in the city's skyline and history.
Built in 1929 by Herbert S. Green, the building mirrors the epic tower style of the Chicago Tribune's home. Memorable in another way, it was dedicated as the home of the San Antonio Express and San Antonio Evening News (then two papers) on Oct. 29, 1929 — the day the stock market crashed.
San Antonians marveled at the illustrious Art Deco architecture of the eight-story building and the newspaper flourished in the world of competitive journalism.
The original Goss printing presses were considered then the largest in the Southwest.
Though it has been upgraded throughout its 83 years, one of the building's enduring features is a frieze by famous Texan sculptor Pompeo Coppini that allegorically depicts the newspaper's mission to communicate information. Above the main entrance, telegraph and telephone wires connect to a globe surrounded by six figures that symbolize labor, education, knowledge, enlightenment truth and justice.
Tours can be scheduled and include a peek into the bustling newsroom, press and publication space.
Cityscape is a weekly look at a building or place that makes San Antonio distinct. Comments or suggestions are welcome at email@example.com.
More Information
Address: 301 Ave. E
Style: Art Deco, "Tower" style
Size: Eight stories
Date Built: 1929

It has been over 2 years since the Tohoku tsunami, yet I still have this sadness every time I see photos of the city and people suffering.
We can't do anything to prevent nature, but what happened on that day should never be forgotten.
I have helped many charity events for the Tohoku tsunami in the UK. I appreciate how generous people are in this country and my family and I will never forget the support we have from the rest of the world. Thanks to all the help, we are able have greater hope.
I helped at a charity event at an Independent primary school in my area last week.
A mother of some children, who attended the school, held a classical music concert, and asked me to serve sushi and Japanese alcohol at the event.
It was a fantastic day and again, many people generously donated money. I am so grateful to see so many people asking me about the current situations in Japan, and giving kind words of hope and luck for all those affected.
They also enjoyed my sushi and finished it all during the interval and they all asked for more! I ended up making sushi at high speed, but when I finished making a single set, it would disappear in a flash. This was very tiring and challenging, but it was very fun and I enjoyed myself greatly.
The thing I love about London is that it's full of people of so many different cultures; I've learned so much throughout the years of living here.
I hope that the people suffering all around the world can have hope, and it's our job to never lose hope for them.

I thought this was an interesting article. I read it on CNN's Web site, but I guess it's originally from Oprah.com. I can't say that I'm the most environmentally concerned, though now that I've moved to Tucson and the air is so clean and the landscape so spectacular, I want to keep it that way. I saw "Inconvenient Truth" earlier this year, and after I finished it, I felt like I needed to do something to help. I'm not sure if I do all five of the things listed below, I'll make much of a difference ... but I think if everyone in the United States did, then it could make a difference.
Five ways to go green from Al Gore: Former Vice President Al Gore says easy things can help climate
(Oprah.com) -- You can become a part of the fight against global warming. Former Vice President Al Gore shares the five things you can buy now that will help solve the climate crisis -- and save you a few bucks! Plus, more of his easy going green tips!
Former Vice President Al Gore speaks onstage during Live Earth New York at Giants Stadium on July 7.
Five things you can buy
1. Compact fluorescent lightbulbs
These energy-efficient bulbs cost less than $4 and are produced by major corporations like GE. If every household in America switched five regular light bulbs for five fluorescent bulbs, it would be the equivalent of taking 1 million cars off the highways for a full year.
2. Outdoor solar lighting
These yard or patio lights cost less than $20, and they don't burn any electricity or produce any CO2.
3. Programmable thermostats
Though these thermostats cost from $50 to $100, they can actually cut your heating and cooling costs. Set the setting so it's a little bit cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer when you're not in the house. A difference of 2 degrees can reduce a home's CO2 emissions by up to 9 percent over the course of a year.
4. Air filters
Changing the air filters in your heating and cooling systems regularly can knock 2 percent off of your CO2 output each year.
5. Electric water heater blanket
Water heaters use a lot of energy and generate a lot of CO2. A blanket costs less than $18 and can cut your home's CO2 emissions by almost 4½ percent.
Keep green in mind!
Gore says that when you're shopping for major home appliances, look for the Energy Star label. "This is a signal that you're getting an environmentally efficient appliance that's going to save you money at the same time," he says.
During a simple trip to the grocery store, you make hundreds of decisions that can have real environmental impacts. With just a few easy changes, you can make a positive difference in the world.
Instead of regular aluminum foil or plastic wrap, buy recycled aluminum foil. It uses just 1/20th of the energy needed to produce regular foil.
Look for items without extensive packaging. Most food packaging material uses some petroleum-based plastic. There are several ways to cut down on the energy and waste this produces. Look for minimally or unpackaged items instead. Experiment with bringing your own packaging or buying in bulk. Purchase brands that use bio-based instead of petroleum-based plastic. Recycle or reuse packaging materials you end up having to buy.
Bring a cloth bag to the grocery store instead of using its plastic bags. An estimated 500 billion to 1 trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each year. That's 1 million bags used per minute.
And, according to the EPA, more than 380 billion of those are discarded in the United States. Less than 1 percent of those are actually recycled. Instead, these bags will clog landfills, create litter, choke streams and harm marine wildlife, like whales, seals and sea turtles.
Buy local and organic. Buying seasonal, locally produced food helps in a number of ways. Most food travels 1,500 miles from "farm to fork." But buying local food drastically reduces the energy spent on food shipping. Local goods also tend to use minimal packaging, are fresher and come in more varieties.
The best place to track down local food is at your local farmers' markets or through the Community Supported Agriculture Department. Farmers who grow produce organically use less fossil fuel and release fewer greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere. Organic farming is better for the land, for the farmers and for the consumers.

This month's puzzles mark the
fourth year
of our joint Monthly Interactive & Printable Logic Problems project. To
celebrate, we've posted
an extra, bonus puzzle as our little
anniversary gift for everyone who likes our puzzles and enjoys solving them.
Happy Puzzling Birthday!
The Winter Olympics, held in Canada this year, represented some of the best hockey teams ever assembled under one roof. The audiences, even the teams themselves, were astounded at the level of ability and pure talent that was revealed. Of all the Olympic sports, the ice hockey medals were the most hotly contested, each team battling grimly for that elusive medal of honor. Determine the winning teams, the medal each team won, and each team's mascot.
1. The wolverine was not the mascot for Switzerland. Canada didn't receive a medal. Russia didn't have a wolf for a mascot.
2. Germany won a medal. One of the teams that did not receive a medal had a fox for a mascot.
3. The wolf is not the mascot for the team who won the bronze medal.
4. Switzerland won the silver medal. Norway had a tiger for a mascot.
5. The two teams that didn't receive medals did not have a cat for their mascot.
6. Canada's mascot was not a fox. The team with the lion for a mascot won the gold medal.

It was reported last week that Jay-Z may have possibly announced a new album title, though nothing to that extent has been confirmed.
But what has been set in stone is that Hov will be making a "major announcement" on Monday, May 14th in Philadelphia.
Based on information from Jay's label, Roc Nation, the Brooklyn rap legend will join Philly mayor Michael Nutter on the city's Art Museum steps to reveal his upcoming endeavor.
There haven't been many details released in regards to next week's announcement, but word from the Philadelphia Daily News is that it could possibly be a July 4th performance with veteran rap group, The Roots.

The 2012 Presidential Election in Historical Context
Ron Formisano
Christina Wolbrecht
Sidney M. Milkis
Speakers: Ron Formisano, Christina Wolbrecht, Sidney M. Milkis
Date: October 9, 2012
Time: 12:30 PM
Please note, this special colloquium will take place on a Tuesday.
The outcome of the 2012 presidential election will likely have historic consequences, as the two parties have adopted vastly different plans and policies for the future. Professors Ron Formisano (William T. Bryan Chair of American History at the University of Kentucky), Sid Milkis (director of Democracy & Governance Studies at the Miller Center), and Christina Wolbrecht (associate professor of political science at the University of Notre Dame) will contrast the two parties' vision for America, and discuss how they have arrived at their policy positions. Looking ahead, therefore, will necessitate looking back, as the 2012 election will be compared to past periods of party development and earlier important elections.
This colloquium is part of the academic conference, "American Political Parties: Past, Present, and Future."
Please RSVP to email@example.com by noon on Friday, October 5.
