(12/P59) TRENTON - The 100th anniversary of the Hackettstown State Fish Hatchery in Warren County will be celebrated with an open house for the public on June 2-3, with visitors to get a behind-the-scenes look at the storied facility that for the past century has raised a wide variety of species to benefit anglers across the state.
The open house, arranged by the Department of Environmental Protection's Division of Fish and Wildlife, will feature a unique tour of the intricate fish hatching operations, while young anglers will have an opportunity for hands-on fishing experiences.
"A century of effective management of fish and wildlife resources is a remarkable achievement, one that has provided New Jersey anglers in every county with superb fishing opportunities for the past 100 years," said DEP Commissioner Bob Martin. "I encourage residents of all ages to come to the open house and take advantage of a unique opportunity to see the inner workings of this historic facility and its employees, who have served the state so well."
Located in the heart of Hackettstown, the hatchery encompasses 240 acres, with 65 freshwater ponds, and features a state-of-the-art intensive fish culture facility. The site was chosen in 1911 for its ample supply of pure, cool spring water, and a running brook, plus convenient, nearby shipping opportunities.
Funded by a special state appropriation of $30,000, workers using horses and shovels began construction of the hatchery in May of 1912. Initial delays in construction, due to extensive bidding and contract procedures, were expedited by Governor Woodrow Wilson just four months before he was elected president.
With the red tape cleared, the main culture building and hatch house were completed in 1912, taking just a few months under the watchful eye of Charles O. Hayford, the hatchery's first superintendent. Less than a year later, 86,700 brook trout fingerlings were planted in New Jersey streams. The first fish from the new hatchery were driven to stocking sites by Hayford himself.
Hatchery construction continued over several years with the addition of a superintendent's house, a gate house, spring houses, a grinding house, an ice house, carpenter shop, second nursery building, raceways and ponds. Hundreds of feet of iron pipe also were laid to carry water from the springs and brook to the hatchery.
The original main hatchery building still stands today and was used for rearing of fish until 1999, when a new, 12,500-square foot intensive fish culture building was constructed for the purpose of raising more and larger cool-water and warm-water fish.
"Anyone who attends the open house will come away with an appreciation not only for the incredible history of the Hackettstown State Fish Hatchery but also for the outstanding natural resources and recreational opportunities New Jersey offers," said Division of Fish and Wildlife Director Dave Chanda. "This represents New Jersey's long-term commitment to professionally manage and conserve its fish and wildlife resources for the people of the Garden State."
The Hackettstown Hatchery produced millions of trout for New Jersey anglers from 1913 to 1983. For decades, the hatchery also was a popular attraction for the public with more than 100,000 visitors touring the site annually in the 1950s and 1960s. The hatchery remained open to the public until 1984 when the newly completed nearby Pequest State Trout Hatchery took over the duties of raising brook, brown and rainbow trout for stocking statewide.
With Pequest online, the Hackettstown hatchery became entirely dedicated to raising warm- and cool-water species such as muskellunge, walleye, northern pike and channel catfish. Today, more than 2 million fish representing 15 different species are raised at the Hackettstown hatchery for stocking each year in more than 200 water bodies throughout the state.
"One hundred years ago, the Hackettstown Hatchery began to build what is now a truly awesome New Jersey trout fishery and during the last 25 years it has begun a new legacy of establishing equally fabulous warm and cold water species," said Rich Thomas, State Council Chairman of NJ Trout Unlimited.
Throughout the anniversary weekend, children may fish at two newly renovated education ponds or at the "Kiddie Fishing Tank." A giant mobile aquarium will display some of the state's finest fish specimens and there will be bird walks, hatchery tours and archery, an outdoor flea market, historic displays in the original hatchery building, and entertainment by a bluegrass band.
Food can be purchased from vendors, but visitors are welcome to bring their own food. No dogs will be allowed at this event, since this is an operating fish hatchery with many open ponds and raceways.
Admission is free. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for both event days. Pre-registration will be required for some activities on the day of the event.

Fight stokes Planned Parenthood
Online gifts to Planned Parenthood have surged by 500 percent since Republicans passed a budget amendment stripping the group of its federal funding.
NARAL Pro-Choice America's email activist list grew by 1,000 subscribers per day at the height of the budget debate.
Story Continued Below
With the budget battle putting women's health issues front and center, reproductive health groups tell POLITICO they've seen an unprecedented surge in activism at a time when many supporters had grown complacent, less fazed by legislative threats now that a president who supports abortion rights is at the helm.
Last Friday, with the budget deadline looming, congressional Democrats tripped over each other to squeeze in back-to-back news conferences and floor speeches extolling the place of women's health in the federal budget and chastising Republican-proposed cuts.
"Republicans are asking me to sacrifice my wife's health, my daughter's health and my nine granddaughters' health. I won't do it," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Friday in a floor statement. "As a legislator, I'm frustrated. As an American, I'm appalled. As a husband, father and grandfather, I'm personally offended."
"I am really stunned," Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said earlier, "that there are those in the Republican Party in the House who are willing to shut down the government, take people's paychecks away from them because they want to deny women access to health care in this country."
It was a marked departure from just over a year ago, when the final days of the health reform debate left reproductive health groups sidelined. Obama clinched the support of anti-abortion Democrats such as Michigan Rep. Bart Stupak — votes needed to pass the law — by accepting abortion restrictions roundly opposed by reproductive health groups.
Congressional allies by and large acquiesced to the new rules as a sacrifice necessary to pass a landmark health reform law. Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.), a strong abortion rights supporter, ultimately voted for the health law while expressing reservations about the abortion restrictions, saying at the time she was "disappointed that women's access to full reproductive health care is again paying the price" to pass legislation.
"There was so much more going on, and it was much more confusing," NARAL Pro-Choice America President Nancy Keenan said of the messaging challenge the group faced in protecting abortion rights during the health reform debate. "This was such a clear attack on contraception, women's health and abortion care. It's been good to see the party committees engaging in choice-related issues in ways they have not in the past."
To be sure, abortion rights advocates did not score a complete win as Obama reinstated a provision that prevents the District of Columbia from spending local tax dollars on abortion services. The president had lifted the ban shortly after taking office.
But in interviews with POLITICO, leaders of top reproductive health groups said this battle was a near 180-degree turn from their lobbying experience during health reform, with a surge in activism and financial support.

(Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc has given up trying to sell research from independent analysts to its institutional clients, after spending millions of dollars on distribution only to find that big money managers had little interest.
The bank has laid off or reassigned the dozen or so employees at its Hudson Street Services unit, which offered data and independent research to investors. Goldman also sold its minority stakes in most firms that were producing the research, generating an overall profit in the process.
Hudson Street's failure is the latest sign of how difficult it is for smaller research houses to thrive in a market where everyone from the big Wall Street banks to major mutual fund firms are seeking to cut costs.
It is also a sign that major investors may no longer be prepared to pay for a diversity of opinion about the markets.
It wasn't always that way. Independent research was all the rage on Wall Street after a $1.4 billion settlement in 2003 between Wall Street banks and regulators led by then-New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer concerning allegedly tainted research.
"It was like a big gold rush when everybody wanted to be an independent research provider," said Sanford Bragg, Chief Executive of Integrity Research, which tracks the independent research industry. "But all the hoopla around independent research in 2003-2004 has died down."
The settlement followed accusations by Spitzer and other regulators that securities analysts at some major banks were glorified shills for companies' shares, instead of providing the objective advice they claimed to offer. Analysts often got bigger bonuses if their positive ratings, or help on sales calls, allowed a bank to win investment banking business.
As part of the agreement, a dozen banks had to spend $460 million to furnish clients with independent research for a five-year period that ended in 2009 for most banks.
As that requirement fell away, independent firms had less revenue to rely on. Spending on such research will be down 24 percent this year compared with 2008, according to Integrity Research.
Hudson Street was not created to comply with the settlement's independent-research requirement, but because of industry trends that were sparked by the settlement.
In the end, customers did not want to buy what Goldman was selling. Research firms said they gained just a handful of clients from the platform. In a statement for this article, Goldman said, "Hudson Street no longer exists for the simple reason that weak demand from our clients did not warrant continuing the effort."
Spitzer compared the independent research industry's current dilemma with that of media companies battling against free news articles on the web. "People want the content, they don't want to pay for it," he said in a recent interview with Reuters.
The settlement forced Wall Street banks to restructure their research departments. Banks could no longer pay analysts more for winning investment banking revenue, so analysts' pay dropped.
Many responded by leaving banks and setting up their own independent research firms. Investors, after learning more tawdry details about how banks' investment research was made, grew increasingly willing to work with independent analysts.
Goldman Sachs began looking for ways to profit from the new world of research, and Hudson Street was a central pillar of that strategy.
The unit was the brainchild of two then-Goldman executives: Thomas Conigliaro, who was hired from Merrill Lynch in 2003 to develop Goldman's independent research business, and J. Michael Sanders, a Goldman veteran who was a managing director and co-head of its U.S. institutional sales operation.
The two men decided the platform should sell research from independent analysts to Goldman's vast array of institutional clients, including mutual funds, hedge funds and pensions. For every sale Hudson Street made, it received a commission. Goldman also made minority investments in the firms whose research it was selling.
Conigliaro and Sanders spent a year working with Goldman's principal strategic investments group - the bank's internal private equity arm - and an outside consultant to figure out which research firms to distribute. They sifted through more than 300 firms, and ended up with 11 that met their standards. They named the business "Hudson Street" for a street near Goldman's headquarters in Lower Manhattan.
Some of the bigger names were TrimTabs, which keeps track of supply and demand dynamics for stocks and exchange-traded funds, and Medley Global Advisors, which speaks to central bank officials and government employees globally to do macroeconomic research. Asset4, which was later acquired by Thomson Reuters Corp, Investars and iSuppli also joined.
Once Goldman invested in the firms and set up commission agreements, its sales force went to work introducing Hudson Street to important institutional clients, first in the United States and then globally. The bank set up 500 client meetings related to Hudson Street in 2007 alone, a source said.
The head of one research firm said Goldman told him he could double or even quadruple revenue, because the bank knows nearly every major investor globally and has a legendary sales force.
That growth never materialized.
"The distribution arrangement was a disappointment, in the sense that it didn't lead to the jump in sales that we expected," said Paul Warme, the chief executive of Lusight Ltd, an emerging-markets research firm that had been part of Hudson Street until 2009.
A Goldman source echoed that sentiment.
"We realized - and maybe this is the fundamental flaw in the business model - that in order for clients to pay for a product, it couldn't be a 'nice to have,' it had to be a 'have to have' - the kind of product that clients can't live without," said the source.
Hudson Street's failure is a modest setback for Goldman as it tries to reinvent itself in a post-financial crisis world. Investors have some faith that whatever happens, Goldman will find a way to build a profitable business. Its shares are still trading at among the highest valuations for banks with big investment banking businesses.
Even though the business itself performed poorly, Goldman managed to make a profit on Hudson Street by selling off the stakes it bought.
Goldman would not comment on specific transactions, but sources familiar with the business said that revenue from just a couple of asset sales more than offset losses on other money-losing deals, as well as the money Goldman put into building the overall business.
One company that was part of Hudson Street, Epocrates Inc, provided the most details about its Goldman partnership through public securities filings. Its story highlights the kind of troubles that independent research firms can run into by partnering with big Wall Street banks.
Epocrates, which sells software and technology to physicians, sold Goldman 3 million shares for $40 million in 2007. As part of the Hudson Street pipeline, the company collected data from its vast network of doctors and distributed the information to institutional investors who analyzed medical-industry stocks.
When the company went public in February 2011, Goldman sold some shares into the IPO. The stock soared on its first day of trading, and Goldman's remaining stake was worth more than $60 million. Since then, the company's shares have plunged 62 percent, and Goldman has overall lost more than $15 million on its investment.
Epocrates has had other problems. Three weeks after its IPO, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission subpoenaed the company for information and documents related to Hudson Street as part of its broader look at expert networks, which had become one focus of an insider trading investigation. In January 2012, the SEC told Epocrates that it had closed its inquiry without recommending enforcement actions.
A former executive said that the inquiry cost the company a significant amount of time and money, and made some regret having entered the investor-data business because it never became a substantial source of revenue.
Many of Goldman's other Hudson Street stakes were sold at a loss, either back to the companies or to third parties that acquired the firms.
People at independent research firms said that the inherent flaw in Hudson Street was not the product, but the partnership with Goldman.
"If you're going to be independent, you want to really be independent," said Barbara Steiner, founding partner and head of institutional sales at the independent research firm Portales Partners. Portales was not distributed on Hudson Street.
"As an adjunct to a bank, or another very large broker, whether you say you're independent or not, you're not perceived to be."

I'm always dubious when it comes to celebrity-endorsed products because I'm doubtful as to how much actual creative input the celebrity has, but when I was recently sent a set of Myleene Klass Nail Stickers I chose not to regard it with my usual cynicism.
Why? Because I once met Myleene Klass on a photoshoot while I was working as a lowly intern for a big women's magazine and, erm, she complimented me on my hair. Yes, I really am that shallow. And yes, any excuse to shoehorn that experience into an article.
Anyway, being the
sucker for compliments enthusiastic beauty writer that I am, once I received the Myleene Klass Nail Stickers I vowed I'd try them out. And, as can be seen below, that's exactly what I've just done.
Sycophantic silliness aside, I always give my honest opinon on products here at Yesterface, and I can genuinely say that I'm impressed with this set. Despite the fact that nail stickers have recently become de rigeur, especially among celebrities like Rihanna, I've never tried them before; and although this was my first go, I found them extremely easy to use!
Applying the nail stickers took almost no time at all. Unlike nail varnish they don't smudge or create any mess, and their detailed prints create an intricate and elegant finish that you simply can't achieve by just using nail polish. I love this particular pattern, too. Very Klassy (geddit?).
The set includes 24 nail stickers, all of which come in different shapes and sizes, and a nail file which you can use to trim and perfect the stickers in order to suit the shape of your nails. In short, a fab product which would make a great gift, personal treat or stocking filler this Christmas. If I ever meet Myleene Klass again I'll be sure to compliment her on her nails…
Myleene Klass Nail Stickers are available to buy from JMLdirect.com and Debenhams for £5.99

Game modes in TB2 are varied. Most players will likely want to try their hand at the Become a Legend mode. Similar to last year's Rookie Challenge, this serves as the game's career mode for single-player action. Starting out in the Mexican league after a near career-ending injury, players will have to complete challenges and improve their skills via mini-games in order to rise up the baseball food chain, eventually becoming a legendary player. Become a Legend provides hours of complex fun for individuals, though it does get quite tedious and repetitive after awhile (what baseball career mode doesn't?).
In addition to Become a Legend, players can also join up with friends (or play against the A.I.) in several other game options, which are little more than slight variations on the standard baseball format. This is one of the areas where the game really shines. The arcade nature of the title makes sharing the experience with friends truly compelling. There are also a host of mini-games that help you hone your skills. My two favorites were the power and contact challenges, as they not only helped my skill set, but they were both challenging and addictive. The glove and speed mini-games, on the other hand, are more of a chore than enjoyable. The wildly successful Home Run Pinball is back this year, but it has been expanded to include a couple more venues for your enjoyment. If you haven't played the original, Home Run Pinball simply has you select a hitter and try to take out lighted targets (and groups of targets) in order to accrue points and set high scores. As was the case last year, this game mode is a real highlight for the title.
Last and probably least is that of online play. It's nice that you can take the experience online to play in relatively lag-free ranked and player matches, but the experience is far more absorbing with a friend on the couch. Due to the game's arcade elements, human players aren't any better than the A.I. on a high difficulty setting - essentially, playing online is the same as challenging the computer. This game is best when played with a friend at home, because jawing is where it's at! Still, if you demand a quality online experience, The Bigs 2 offers one that's fairly barebones yet should still satisfy you.
On the presentation front, the graphics are quite solid in terms of facial and stadium detail, where the game slips up in the visual department concerns player animations. For starters, there are a very limited number of swing, pitch, and celebration animations. This also holds true for ball flight paths. Perhaps most disconcerting was that of fielding animations - players regularly contort and glitch as they throw the ball. Aurally, the commentary is quite funny and professional yet extremely repetitive. What really dogs this title's sounds, however, are the highly obtrusive 2K Beats - the music is a collection of grating, heavy pop-rock - I've heard alley cats get it on with more harmony!
The Bigs 2 is a solid baseball arcade title that should scratch the summer itch. Though the game does feel a bit unpolished and unbalanced, there's still a lot to enjoy. This franchise has a ton of potential, and we'll be interested to see how it evolves in the coming years.

A well-known burlesque performer who went by the stage name, "Sparkly Devil," was killed early Sunday morning in a suspected drunken-driving crash involving a party bus. And now, her husband faces charges in her death, according to the California Highway Patrol.
"She was wonderful in many ways," her mother Julie Thompson Klein told NBC Bay Area on Monday in a phone interview from the Detroit area about her daughter, Sarah Klein, 36, of San Mateo. "She was the classic model of a creative person who wasn't afraid to cross boundaries. I always wanted to raise a strong woman I was amazed how strong she became."
Jim Sweeney, executive producer of the Hubba Hubba Revue in San Francisco, said no one in his world called Klein by her given name, but by her stage name. In addition to co-founding Hubba Hubba, Sparkly Devil also wrote about entertainment art form for magazine and alternative weekly newspapers, and served as the media spokesperson for the burlesque entertainment venue. Her mother told NBC Bay Area that her daughter began her career as a journalist for the Detroit Metro Times and eventually was drawn into the lively burlesque world.
"She was an incredible performer," Sweeney told NBC Bay Area on Monday in a phone interview. "And she was a great friend to the burlesque community. We feel her loss greatly."
Raul Padilla, her 43-year-old husband, who was driving and was taken to Stanford Medical Center in critical condition, is likely to be charged with drinking and driving, or possibly vehicular manslaughter, depending on the level of alcohol in his system, according to CHP Officer Art Montiel.
Padilla was driving the red Honda that appeared to have slammed into a center divider on U.S. 101 in Burlingame south of San Francisco about 2 a.m. before coming to rest facing oncoming traffic, which is when he and his wife were hit by the party bus, Montiel said. In addition to Padilla, ten others were injured.
The couple had ``consumed alcohol'' before the crash, but toxicology tests would have to be conducted to determine if Padilla had been OK to drive, Montiel said. Neither were wearing seat belts, he said. Courts were closed on Memorial Day, and it was unclear whether Padilla had any type of driving troubles in the past.
According to Sweeney, the couple was on their way home to the Peninsula from San Francisco. Sparkly had performed at the Hubba Hubba Revue the night before.
In addition to the couple, ten others suffered less serious injuries when a party bus carrying 18 passengers ran head-on into Padilla's car that was stopped on a highway south of San Francisco, authorities said. A CHP collision report listed the party bus driver as Anderson Davis, 67, of Berkeley. Officers said he suffered moderate injuries but refused medical attention.
The injured were taken to either Stanford or San Francisco General hospitals, according to the CHP. They include: Jeckrie Unabia, 28, and Haydee Martinez, 27, of Santa Clara; Julienne Sagun, 22, and Joshua Tan, 28, of Mountain View; and May Ann Granale, 45, and Carlos Cambia Jr., 30, of San Jose, Tola Magee, 30, of San Rafael; Mariel Joy Garnace, 21, of San Jose; and Herland Martinez, 24, of Santa Clara. Another passenger got a ride with a family member to the hospital.
Sparkly's website calls her a mixture of "sass and class," and her resume includes six performances at the Miss Exotic World Burlesque Pageant in Las Vegas, four New York Burlesque Festivals, three Tease-o-Ramas and more. She was profiled in Comcast's "Something Weird" series and two episodes of TLC's reality series, "LA Ink." In the Bay Area, she also performed at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco, along with the Hubba Hubba Revue.
Her mother told NBC Bay Area that after she left Detroit about six years ago, she made her way to Gilroy to work for a small paper, which folded. She worked at some Silicon Valley startups, her mother said, and did some web design.
But San Francisco appealed to Sparkly Devil, her mother said, and she met a "wonderful group of people who were involved in reviving the burlesque scene."
Burlesque comes from the Italian word, burlesco, which means to joke or mock. It's now known as a dramatic or musical work intended to cause laughter through caricature. In the United States, burlesque is a staple at cabaret clubs and features bawdy comedy and strip teases. In some of Sparkly's videos on YouTube, she is seen coughing up fake blood in a Zombie piece and stripping down to a red bikini bottom and tassles in another.
As for her husband, Sweeney said he knew Padilla and called him a musician and a "nice guy." Sweeney said he did not know if Padilla was known to drink and drive before.
The crash on the southbound side of U.S. 101 in Burlingame about 25 miles south of San Francisco was just a few miles away from the San Mateo Bridge, where five women heading to a bridal party were killed in a limousine fire three weeks ago.
Sparkly was supposed to have performed on Thursday in Las Vegas at The Orleans Casino during the International Burlesque Hall of Fame. People from around the country were posting thoughts and memories about Sparkly on her Facebook site throughout the day.

Al Gore Was Right After All..

Scientist Admit Earth Really Is Heating Up
As Glaciers Melt, Scientists Seek New Data on Rising Seas
Tony Cenicola/The New York Times
From a helicopter hovering over Greenland, the oceanographer Fiammetta Straneo took measurements to determine how fast the water is melting the nearby Helheim Glacier.
By JUSTIN GILLIS
Published: November 13, 2010
TASIILAQ, Greenland With a tense pilot gripping the stick, the helicopter hovered above the water, a red speck of machinery lost in a wilderness of rock and ice.
Temperature Rising
To the right, a great fjord stretched toward the sea, choked with icebergs. To the left loomed one of the immense glaciers that bring ice from the top of the Greenland ice sheet and dump it into the ocean.
Hanging out the sides of the craft, two scientists sent a measuring device plunging into the water, between ice floes. Near the bottom, it reported a temperature of 40 degrees. It was the latest in a string of troubling measurements showing that the water was warm enough to melt glaciers rapidly from below.
Thats the highest weve seen this far up the fjord, said one of the scientists, Fiammetta Straneo.
The temperature reading was a new scrap of information in the effort to answer one of the most urgent and most widely debated questions facing humanity: How fast is the worlds ice going to melt?
Scientists long believed that the collapse of the gigantic ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica would take thousands of years, with sea level possibly rising as little as seven inches in this century, about the same amount as in the 20th century.
But researchers have recently been startled to see big changes unfold in both Greenland and Antarctica.
As a result of recent calculations that take the changes into account, many scientists now say that sea level is likely to rise perhaps three feet by 2100 an increase that, should it come to pass, would pose a threat to coastal regions the world over.
And the calculations suggest that the rise could conceivably exceed six feet, which would put thousands of square miles of the American coastline under water and would probably displace tens of millions of people in Asia.
The scientists say that a rise of even three feet would inundate low-lying lands in many countries, rendering some areas uninhabitable. It would cause coastal flooding of the sort that now happens once or twice a century to occur every few years. It would cause much faster erosion of beaches, barrier islands and marshes. It would contaminate fresh water supplies with salt.
In the United States, parts of the East Coast and Gulf Coast would be hit hard. In New York, coastal flooding could become routine, with large parts of Queens and Brooklyn especially vulnerable. About 15 percent of the urbanized land in the Miami region could be inundated. The ocean could encroach more than a mile inland in parts of North Carolina.
Abroad, some of the worlds great cities London, Cairo, Bangkok, Venice and Shanghai among them would be critically endangered by a three-foot rise in the sea.
Climate scientists readily admit that the three-foot estimate could be wrong. Their understanding of the changes going on in the worlds land ice is still primitive. But, they say, it could just as easily be an underestimate as an overestimate. One of the deans of American coastal studies, Orrin H. Pilkey of Duke University, is advising coastal communities to plan for a rise of at least five feet by 2100.
I think we need immediately to begin thinking about our coastal cities how are we going to protect them? said John A. Church, an Australian scientist who is a leading expert on sea level. We cant afford to protect everything. We will have to abandon some areas.
Sea-level rise has been a particularly contentious element in the debate over global warming. One published estimate suggested the threat was so dire that sea level could rise as much as 15 feet in this century. Some of the recent work that produced the three-foot projection was carried out specifically to counter more extreme calculations.
Global warming skeptics, on the other hand, contend that any changes occurring in the ice sheets are probably due to natural climate variability, not to greenhouse gases released by humans.
Such doubts have been a major factor in the American political debate over global warming, stalling efforts by Democrats and the Obama administration to pass legislation that would curb emissions of heat-trapping gases. Similar legislative efforts are likely to receive even less support in the new Congress, with many newly elected legislators openly skeptical about climate change.
A large majority of climate scientists argue that heat-trapping gases are almost certainly playing a role in what is happening to the worlds land ice. They add that the lack of policies to limit emissions is raising the risk that the ice will go into an irreversible decline before this century is out, a development that would eventually make a three-foot rise in the sea look trivial.
Melting ice is by no means the only sign that the earth is warming. Thermometers on land, in the sea and aboard satellites show warming. Heat waves, flash floods and other extreme weather events are increasing. Plants are blooming earlier, coral reefs are dying and many other changes are afoot that most climate scientists attribute to global warming.

The card names consist of ks.gif for king of spades, and jd.gif for jack of diamonds, 5c.gif for five of clubs, etc... how can I assign the correct image to the correct card without having to individually assign all 52 cards by hand if possible? Thanks for your time.

CSS Crib Sheet
You will no doubt come across many quirky layout issues when building a site with CSS. You'll end up banging your head against a wall time and again. This is an attempt to make the design process easier, and provide a quick reference to check when you run into trouble.
Translations are available in Français, Deutsch, Nederlands, Italiano, Magyar, Finnish, Russian, Portuguese, Japanese and Simplified Chinese. (No more will be posted.)
- When in doubt, validate.
- When debugging, you may save yourself a lot of headache by simply validating your code first. Improperly-formed XHTML/CSS will cause many a layout glitch.
- Build and test your CSS in the most advanced browser available before testing in others, not after.
- If you build a site testing in a broken browser, your code begins relying on the broken rendering of that browser. When it comes time to test in a more standards-compliant browser, you will be frustrated when that browser renders it improperly. Instead, start from perfection and then hack for the less able browsers. Your code will be more standards-compliant from the start, and you won't have to hack as much to support other browsers. Today, this means Mozilla, Safari, or Opera.
- When relying on floats for layouts, make sure they clear properly.
- Floats are tricky, and don't always do what you expect. If you run into a situation where a float extends past the border of the containing element, or just doesn't behave as you'd expect, make sure what you want is correct. Check Eric Meyer's tutorial on the matter.
- Margins collapse; apply padding or a border to avoid.
- You may struggle with extra white space where you don't want any, or no white space where you want some. If you're using margins, collapsing is most likely the culprit. Andy Budd explains what you can expect.
- Try to avoid applying padding/borders and a fixed width to an element.
- IE5 gets the box model wrong, which really makes a mess of things. There are ways around this, but it's best to side-step the issue by applying the padding to the parent element instead of the child that gets a fixed-width.
- Avoid the Flash of Unstyled Content in IE.
- If you rely on
@importalone for external style, sooner or later you'll notice IE 'flashes' plain, unformatted HTML briefly before applying CSS. This can be avoided.
- Don't rely on
min-widthin IE.
- IE doesn't support it. But it treats
min-widthto a certain degree, so with a bit of IE filtering, you can achieve the same end result.
- When in doubt, decrease widths.
- Sometimes rounding errors will cause something like 50% + 50% to add up to 100.1%, which ends up breaking layouts in some browsers. Try bumping down the 50% to 49%, or even 49.9%.
- Content not showing up properly in IE?
- You may be suffering the Peekaboo bug, especially if it does show up when a link is moused-over. See Position is Everything for the fix.
- Be careful when styling links if you're using anchors.
- If you use a classic anchor in your code (
<a name="anchor">) you'll notice it picks up
:activepseudo-classes. To avoid this, you'll need to either use
idfor anchors instead, or style with a slightly more arcane syntax:
:link:hover, :link:active
- Make sure your desired effect actually exists.
- There are browser-specific CSS extensions that aren't in the official spec. If you're trying to apply
filters or scrollbar formatting, you're working with proprietary code that won't work in anything but IE. If the validator tells you the code you're using isn't defined, chances are it's proprietary, and won't work consistently across browsers.
- Divide and Conquer: use commenting to turn off large sections of style.
- Especially useful when working on large, unfamiliar CSS files. Comment out roughly half of the CSS. If the problem still occurs, it's in the other half. Comment out what's left and test again. If the problem stops occurring, its in the commented out section. Refine your comment scope and test again. Continue until problem has been diagnosed.
- Remember "LoVe/HAte" linking.
- When specifying link pseudo-classes, always do so in this order: Link, Visited, Hover, Active. Any other order won't work consistently. Consider using
:focusas well, and modify the order to LVHFA (or "Lord Vader's Handle Formerly Anakin", as suggested by Matt Haughey)
- Remember "TRouBLEd" borders.
- Borders, margins, and padding shorthand assumes a specific order: clockwise from the top, or Top, Right, Bottom, Left. So
margin: 0 1px 3px 5px;results in no top margin, 1px right margin, and so on.
- Specify units for non-zero values.
- CSS requires you to specify units on all quantities such as fonts, margins and sizes. (The only exception is
line-height, oddly enough, which doesn't require a unit.) The behaviour of any particular browser when sizes aren't specified should not be relied upon. Zero is zero, however, be it px, em, or anything else. No units are necessary. Example:
padding: 0 2px 0 1em;
- Test different font sizes.
- Advanced browsers like Mozilla and Opera allow you to resize text no matter which unit you use. Some users will definitely have a larger or smaller default than you; try to accomodate as large a range as possible.
- Match cases between your HTML and CSS.
- Some browsers are case-sensitive. Using a class like '
homePage' is fine, provided you're consistent with your letter case. Applying style to '
homepage' will cause problems in strict user agents (like Mozilla).
- Test embedded; launch imported.
- If you work with a stylesheet embedded in your HTML source, you eliminate any potential caching errors while testing. This is very important when working with some Mac browsers. But make sure to move your CSS to an external file, imported with
<link>before launching.
- Add obvious borders to help debug layouts.
- A universal rule like
div {border: solid 1px #f00;}can go a long way toward pinpointing a layout problem. But adding a border to specific elements can help identify overlap and extra white space that might not otherwise be obvious.
- Don't use single quotation marks around paths for images.
- When setting a background image, resist the urge to surround the path with quote marks. They're not necessary, and IE5/Mac will choke.
- Don't link to empty style sheets as 'placeholders' for future style sheets (like handheld or print media style sheets).
- Mac IE5 chokes on the empty style sheet and the page load time increases. Instead, have at least one rule (or perhaps even a comment) in the style sheet so that MacIE doesn't choke.
As well, here are some notable theory items that don't particularily apply to the functionality side of things, but should be considered when developing:
- Organize your CSS file
- Make sure to comment blocks of CSS appropriately, group like-selectors, and establish a consistent naming convention, white space formatting (recommendation: a single space instead of a tab for cross-platform considerations), and property order.
- Name classes/IDs based on function, not appearance.
- If you create a
.smallblueclass, and later get a request to change the text to large and red, the class stops making any form of sense. Instead use descriptive classes like
- Rely on CSS filters only as a last resort.
- CSS hacks and filters can help you selectively apply CSS (or not apply as the case may be) to various elements. Instead of using them any time you hit a snag, try finding a more standard cross-browser way to achieve the effect you're after. When in doubt though, these can be a life-saver.
- Combine selectors.

DOVER — The Dover High School Green Wave Homecoming is on Saturday Sept. 29, welcoming students, alumni, and the community to a daylong event.
Homecoming activities kick off at 10 a.m. at the DHS campus on Alumni Drive with an alumni musician jam session, antique car show, barbecue, petting zoo and bouncy house for children, volleyball game in the gymnasium and football game against the Winnacunnet Warriors at 2 p.m.
Ernie Clark, DHS class of 1970, said the goal is to make homecoming an event that draws in alumni from all graduating classes along with current students and members of the community.
"There's a lot of different people we don't get to see at a traditional high school reunion," he said.
Clark explained the goal of the homecoming steering committee is to find a date each fall where everyone can come back to DHS.
"And that way even if they can't make the class reunion they'll know there's a homecoming they can attend and support Dover High School," he said. "We're trying to show the community and the entire state that Dover High School is a great place to go to school."
Unlike past years, all events will be held outdoors with the exception of girls varsity and junior varsity volleyball games and admission to homecoming is free.
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. any DHS graduate is invited to showcase their own business for a contribution of $100 to go toward the Harvey Knapp scholarship fund, which homecoming benefits, and promote their success, Clark said.
"Our main purpose of it is to show that there are a lot of successful people within the community that attended DHS," he said.
He said there are many people who have graduated from DHS who have done well in life and that will be celebrated at homecoming as well.
"We want to say thank you to the school, the principals, the teachers, and this is our way of doing that," he said.
The art department will offer face painting, the Career Technical Center will open the barn behind the school where people can view and pet the animals housed there, a rock jam band will be supported by Ralph's House of Tone where any high school band group can play for the crowd.
Drivers who wish to take part in the classic car show motorcade are invited to meet at the 99 Restaurant on Indian Brook Drive at 9 a.m. to be led by members of the Dover Police Department through the "miracle mile" and business district and continue on to the high school, Clark said.
Kelley's Row and Roger's Pizza are hosting graduate groups with discounts and there will be a homecoming dance held Saturday evening at the VFW in Somersworth with music from the Spectras. Admission to the homecoming dance is $10.
"Hopefully we'll kindle something, a tradition for the students who are there now to see what the alumni is all about and they will carry this on," he said.
Clark said since the first year, three years ago with about 300 attendees, the event has continued to grow and he hopes it will show current students school spirit and pride lives on after graduation inspiring them to continue the homecoming tradition in future years.

If you work in social media, you couldn't help but catch the buzz over Pinterest, which repeatedly smashed records for fastest social media community to [insert just about any number] members. We've started up a Pinterest page — but not because it's the next shiny object. The SUNY Oswego Pinterest page came about because we saw another way to connect with key users, fulfill communication goals … and because of an intangible gut instinct.
When I brought the idea of Pinterest up to our student social media team, the three young women in the group were immediately excited about it. That doesn't happen when I mention working in Twitter or Formspring or Foursquare, so my gut instantly realized that if part of our target market was this into the platform, it had real potential. Of course, that Pinterest mainly appeals to women is considered a punchline in some sectors … but it's foolish to pooh-pooh such a huge market (around 55 percent of our students are female, for one thing).
One intern, Jenna, immediately thought of two potential boards — photos of items students should bring when moving in (one of the questions we hear the most in social media) and images of places of interest in the Oswego community (ditto). Thus our ongoing goal of better communicating with potential/incoming students gives one great peg for using Pinterest. As I always say: Goals first, then tools. Ideas for boards about various living options, activities on campus, sporting events and even winter preparation followed … all produced by students on the team.
I've also talked to key folks in alumni relations, who are also interested in photos and items of interest to alumni. One of the alumni magazine's most popular stories involved images and stories of famous performers who played Oswego over the years, so historic photo galleries are in the planning stages. Thus we can offer content that spans the student lifecycle — from when they're choosing a college to graduates recalling their glory days.
Say what you will about Pinterest, but if your institution has goals, motivated people (students!) working on it and a focus on content of interest to your audience, it's well worth pursuing.

Your Body Needs Krill Oil
Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans that are approximately 1 to 6 centimeters long. They live is the ocean, where they feed mainly on phytoplankton. They're near the bottom of the food chain and are eaten by whales, seals, penguins, squid and fish. Commercial fishing of krill occurs primarily in the Southern Ocean and the northern Pacific Ocean along the coasts of Canada and Japan. Krill that are caught are used for aquaculture and aquarium feeds, sport fishing bait or they are eaten as food. In Japan, krill that's caught for food is called okiami.
Krill oil, the oil that's found naturally in krill, is extracted and sold as a nutritional supplement. It's sold in some health food stores and online in capsule form. Krill oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, which is the main reason it's becoming popular as a nutritional supplement. Another reason krill oil is becoming popular is because it contains an antioxidant called astaxanthin. The algae that krill eat produces the bright red pigment astaxanthin that gives krill and other crustaceans such as lobster and shrimp their reddish-pink color.
Antioxidants protect our body cells from damage from free radicals, unstable substances that are thought to contribute to certain chronic diseases. Unlike many other antioxidants, astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it could theoretically protect the eye, brain and central nervous system from free radical damage.
The recent popularity of krill oil supplements has raised concerns that it could threaten the population of its predators, including penguins, seals and whales.
Health Benefits of Krill Oil:
People use krill oil for the same reasons they use fish oil, flax oil or other omega-3 fatty acids. Unlike fish oil, krill oil doesn't cause fishy burps or an aftertaste, a common side effect of fish oil. Also, krill oil contains higher amounts of astaxanthin than fish oil. Here are some specific conditions for which it's used.
1) High Cholesterol
Krill oil is being studied as a natural remedy for high cholesterol. In one study, 120 people were given krill oil, fish oil or a placebo. Krill oil reduced LDL (commonly referred to as "bad") cholesterol by 34% and increased HDL ("good") cholesterol by 43.5% compared to the placebo. In comparison, fish oil reduced LDL cholesterol by 4.6% and increased HDL cholesterol by 4.2%. Krill also lowered triglycerides.
2) Premenstrual Syndrome
Preliminary research suggests krill oil may help reduce symptoms of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), however, more research is needed.
3) Arthritis
A study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition examined krill oil (300 mg daily) compared to a placebo and found that krill oil was effective at reducing arthritis symptoms and inflammation.
Side Effects:
People with allergies to seafood shouldn't use krill oil. People with bleeding disorders shouldn't use krill oil unless under the supervision of a qualified health professional. Side effects of krill oil may include loose stools, diarrhea or indigestion.
Possible Drug Interactions: People taking blood thinners (anticoagulant or anti-platelet medication), such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, clopidogrel (Plavix), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) should only use krill oil under a physician's supervision. Krill oil should also be used with caution by people taking herbs and supplements that are thought to increase the risk of bleeding, such as ginkgo biloba and garlic.

To the Land of the Gilded Streets. Emigrants' Journey from Finland through Great Britain to North America During the Era of Mass Migration.
During the "Great Emigration" in 1820-1930 circa 42 million Europeans emigrated to North America. About 380,000 of them were Finnish. In this publication we take a closer look at the emigrants' journey from their home town via Great Britain to North America. The text is richly illustrated with photographs, maps, and contemporary travel descriptions. Although the focus of the publication is on the journey of the emigrant, it will also cover the emigrant's life in the new homeland, the history and reasons behind Finnish emigration to America and the present day Finnish Americans.
This publication is based on the exhibition "To the Land of the Gilded Streets - Transmigration of Finns through Great Britain to North America" (2014) by the Institute of Migration.

Octobers Challenge is HERE
ART THERAPY by RUPA
Hello crafty friends..
How about some ART THERAPY today?? I am going to share a tutorial on how I made some fabric paper...you heard me right...fabric out of construction paper!
This is going to be a looooong post...I said therapy right, sit back, relax and enjoy the session.
Here is a link to the original by Barb Owen but I have modified it a bit according to the supplies I had and I am very HAPPY with the final outcome. It sure is therapeutic...you MUST give it a try.
Materials required
Construction paper
Oil pastels or kids wax crayons also would do
Acrylic colors of your choice, metallic colors, mists and pens
Background stamps, stencils, Archival ink black, white gel pen
Americana Decoupage for fabric, white muslin cloth, some tulle or net fabric
Step1- Draw some random patterns on the CP with crayons and stencils. You can also do some free hand doodling or geometric patterns. Remember to leave some white space.
Step2 – Choose acrylic colors of your choice and water it down. Apply a watery coat of the colors and its amazing how the crayons resist the color. The beauty is that the acrylics become permanent when dry.
Step3- get some metallic colors. I have used gold here...I watered down that too. Apply randomly. I misted some Lindy's gold too and some shimmer dust here and there. The camera seems to ignore that here, lol!
Step4- How about some stamping now? I did some random text and flowers with Archival inks. I also did some doodling with white gel pen and some circles with gesso and a small paint cap.
The mixed media background is ready!
Now comes the beauty of making this paper fabric! Here is where I modified it a bit.
Step5- I gave a nice coat of Americana Decoupage for fabric and then placed a piece of white muslin to the size of the paper.
I smoothed it out and then waited for it to dry completely. Then misted some water on the top of the CP and scrunched it up!
Yes, scary but that's THERAPY! Repeat this s a few times and finally iron out the creases..it's amazing how after this the paper...oops, fabric becomes so pliable!
I then sandwiched it between newspapers and ironed it. Voila...the net is almost transparent and it all looks and feels like a piece of cloth now!
Your custom, uniquely hand designed fabric is ready! That too from construction paper...I loved this project so much, I made another piece too.
I dusted out my sewing machine after a long time and enjoyed every bit of my lost and found passion! I have done some multi colored zig zag patterns all around the edges. I have also done some free hand pattern sewing on the top like a quilt...now all the 3 layers are intact!
With such a pretty fabric, I couldn't think of making anything else but THIS....
A junk journal for my daily dose of creativity and some matching book marks from the excess I cut out!
My signature beaded charm hangs from the spine.
I have fixed one fat signature with scraps of PP, printed paper, paper from an old diary, some tuck spots from old mail envelopes and a zip lock cover too. I was also successful at my first attempt of pamphlet stitching for the signature.I wanted everything cos this is going to by daily buddy!
I have used some thick cotton rope as a wrap around closure. I have hand dyed it with same set of acrylic colors. The place where the wrapping starts has a small loop to hold a pen or pencil too! Well that's one thing that I always misplace and made sure it stayed put with my buddy here!
For the other end of the closure, I die cut some hearts with Sizzix die. I have used scrap denim and canvas cloth for the hearts. Some blanket stitching to make the pillow hearts...all cushioned up!
They look pretty dangling from the front cover!
The alphabet cubes are using Hero Arts stamps and I wanted the journal to be named ART THERAPY cos I cant do without this now, lol!
That's it friends, thank you so much for being with me thru this therapy. I hope you enjoyed this and would give it a try and if you do, pl share your creations. BEWARE...its addictive!
Until my next Creative Journey,
Happy Crafting and recycling.
