Angel Uribe has heard stories from his uncle about how hard life can be working the fields as a stoop laborer.
Only recently has he realized how horrendous conditions were for farmworkers before Cesar Chavez fought for their rights.
"My uncle told me being a farmworker is too hard on a person," said Angel, a sixth-grader at Roosevelt Middle School in San Diego. "It was worse before, you had to breathe the stuff they use to kill insects. There were no bathrooms. People had to share the same can to drink water and germs would spread."
It will be 20 years next month since Cesar Chavez died. Yet the legacy of the late labor leader has perhaps never been more alive among many students in San Diego schools.
Angel is one of 600 Chavistas. They are members of 24 chapters of the Cesar Chavez Service Club that operate on campuses throughout the San Diego Unified School District.
The young activists get attention from the media and the public this time of year around Cesar Chavez Day, which commemorates his birthday, March 31. Some rallied with signs and banners last week at Chavez Elementary School in City Heights in a short re-enactment of the historic 1966 march that stretched some 300 miles from Delano to Sacramento to draw attention to the plight of farmworkers. Students also hosted the club's fundraiser breakfast Thursday at the Jacobs Center for 800 residents and dignitaries.
But the true work of the Chavistas happens year-round, when fewer are watching.
"Cesar Chavez was never about doing anything for one day," said Linda LeGerrette of San Diego, who with her husband Carlos worked closely with Chavez for 12 years during the movement that unionized farmworkers and improved working conditions. "Everything was about building for the next day and the next and the next."
The LeGerrettes established the service clubs little over a decade ago with grant money distributed after then-Gov. Gray Davis authorized Cesar Chavez Day as a state holiday. Clubs sprouted up throughout California that largely promoted a single day of community service. The organizations mostly withered when the money dried up.
Under the subtle guidance of the LeGerrettes, San Diego's clubs have steadily flourished like a well-tended crop. Carlos kept them going with financial support from another one of his mentors, the late Sol Price, founder of the Price Club (which later merged into Costco) and noted philanthropist. Other donors have followed. About four years ago, the organization established nonprofit status and a formal board of directors.
The Chavistas bring a new brand of community service to schools that for years have pushed civic responsibility with Key Club, scouting and other long-standing institutions.
These club members are taught to accomplish goals using 10 values that embody Chavez: Service to others, sacrifice, nonviolence, respect for life, celebrating community, determination, helping the needy, accepting of all people, and knowledge and innovation. They take on projects and issues with collaboration and compromise.
Any student who wants to join the club must first "register" to vote, filling out a form that resembles the real deal. The idea is to prepare them for a lifetime of civic participation.
Most members meet after school or during lunch with one of a handful of club coordinators, volunteers, college students and retired educators. Some middle schools incorporate the clubs into Spanish classes. Each chapter is governed by five elected student officers who lead meetings using agendas and protocols similar to those employed by city councils or school boards.
"They will be able to go to any public meeting anywhere and look for the agenda and know when to speak," Carlos LeGerrette said. "The whole point is to inspire youngsters to believe in themselves and to know they can make a difference. That means participating, which in real life means registering to vote and speaking up for what you believe in."
The students have ventured out into the community, planting trees, picking up litter and feeding the hungry alongside their counterparts in other more-established civic-minded organizations around San Diego.
But those are just "activities. The real work is here," Carlos said, tapping his forehead.
At last week's Cesar Chavez Service Clubs' annual Las Mañanitas Breakfast and fundraiser, several Chavistas moved many in the audience of 800 to tears with testimonials about how their participation on the program has helped in school and in life.
Carlos LeGerrette sees himself in many of the Chavistas. A native San Diegan, he was "inches" away from dropping out of Point Loma High School after his own parents split up. After earning his diploma in 1961, LeGerrette went to live with family in Salinas, where his cousins worked in the fields under awful conditions.
Back in San Diego, Linda LeGerrette attended Mesa College after graduating Madison High School. She helped organize caravans to the Central Valley to deliver clothes and food to farm workers.
The two married in 1966 and joined Chavez' "La Causa." She first met Price when she attempted to remove grapes from a FedMart — also founded by Price — during the grape strike. Price sympathized with the struggle and agreed to ban California table grapes from his markets and established a long friendship with the LeGerrettes that continued until his death in 2009.
The LeGerrettes say they strive to inspire students and motivate them the way Chavez, Price and Gov. Jerry Brown have motivated them.
In the 1970s after working for a dozen years with Chavez, including time as his assistant during the heat of the United Farm Workers movement, Carlos managed then-gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown's campaign in San Diego, becoming his special affairs assistant in charge of the San Diego, Imperial Valley, Riverside and Orange County areas. He continued to work for Brown after the election.
San Diego Unified has been supportive of the clubs. School board trustee Richard Barrera is a member of the nonprofit's governing board.
Several schools have asked how they can start their own chapter of the club and Barrera is hopeful the organization can raise the money necessary to make the program available to every campus in the district.
"We've got something special that was started by a couple of inspirational founders," said Barrera, who is a professional community organizer. "The question becomes, how do we expand it so that we don't lose what it is all about?"

Despite Wiz Khalifa's continuous denial that his fiancee (and Kanye West's ex) Amber Rose is pregnant it seems the rumors are true.
While walking the red carpet earlier tonight at the MTV Video Music Awards Amber looked stunning in a tight laced gown. When they stopped for a photo opp she put her hand on her stomach revealing a new addition to the family. It seems Beyonce isn't the only one to save her big news for VMA night.
While talking to MTV's Sway Wiz confirmed that he in fact will be a Dad soon. "[We wanted to] let everybody know that we're expecting a beautiful little baby, me and Amber and we're so excited. We're having a baby!"

Silver Accents: Cool metal touches give this room a sophisticated air. The scrolling mirror, the legs of the coffee table, even the fireplace andirons are all glossed in chic silver. Writing on the Wall: For truly unique (and sometimes quirky) decor. You can search by theme, type, even lyrics to your favorite Men Without Hats song. Does your living room work double duty as a front entry? Keep the two separated and well defined by lining one wall with a welcoming wallpaper, and keeping the living room furniture appropriated to an area rug. Flower Power: Here's a bloomin' brilliant idea: Keep oversized patterns in check by limiting them to well defined spaces (here a bouquet of blue flowers covers an occasional seat and an oversized roman shade). It will keep the powerful pattern from taking over the room. Back to Back: Create a dynamic seating arrangement by placing a set of sofas in the center of the room and with their backs to each other. It's a bold move that creates two conversation corners.
Sea of Space: Make your living room a welcome respite for a gang of friends with ample seating and a circular coffee table that's easy to navigate. Easy Elegance: Keep a formal living room from getting too fussy by mixing dramatic accents like these floor to ceiling drapes with everyday classics, like a pair of neutral slipper chairs. Ladylike Charm: Soft, muted colors and sinuous curtains infuse a living room with a little feminine grace. Extended Seating: The right furniture layout, with a quirky accessory added here and there, can broaden a living room to accommodate large groups and big parties. Mix It Up: Throw caution to the wind and mix in a bunch of different patterns for a lively look. Pick complimentary colors to guide you when shopping.
White on White: You can't go wrong with an all white space. To prevent it from feeling like a hospital room, introduce different textures. A crocheted throw, a rough hewn linen sofa, and a nubby rug all add depth to a monochromatic look. Reading Nook: Carve out a quiet moment in your living room to entice a little reading time. Drag a cozy chair over to a window or next to a bookshelf and be sure to provide ample light for late night page turning. Updated Prep: Give tradition a twist and try a living room filled with old standby silhouettes a Chesterfield sofa, bamboo side chairs in super saturated colors (ocean blue and lime green). Game Changing: An extra large coffee table with a feminine shape is the modern take on the traditional game table. Invite friends over for game night; the edge on the table will keep board pieces (and drinks) from sliding onto the floor. Touch of Trend: Update your living room as you would your wardrobe with a few new accessories each season. This neutral room is an easy canvas for a few pops of color and pattern an aubergine throw, a zebra pillow, and a metallic side table.

Grinnell, IA 50112
United States
William D. Ferguson
Bill Ferguson, Gertrude B. Austin Professor of economics, received a B.A. (in History) from Grinnell College and an Economics Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts. In 1976, he moved to Seattle, Washington where he worked for six years as a neighborhood community organizer on neighborhood and utility issues. After teaching as a visiting assistant professor at Williams College, he returned to Grinnell as an assistant professor of economics in the fall of 1989. He was promoted to associate professor in 1995 and to the rank of full professor in 2005.
His recent book, Collective Action and Exchange: A Game Theoretic Approach to Contemporary Political Economy was published by Stanford University Press in July, 2013 (https://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=18537). The book applies cutting-edge of economic theory and game-theoretic modeling to argue that economic development requires prior resolution of collective-action problems—problems that arise when the pursuit of individual interests generates undesirable economic or political outcomes for society at large. Examples include pollution, crime, excessive inequality, the persistence of various forms of race or gender discrimination, financial instability, and regional economic stagnation.
Related publications on updating the economics curriculum and implicit bargaining power in employment relationships appear in the Journal of Economic Education, the Journal of Institutional and Theoretical Economics, and the Eastern Economic Journal anda game-theoretic analysis of the influence of social context and the transmission of the HIV virus (a joint paper with Trang Kieu Nguyen. Related working papers include "Collective Action, Inequality, and Development: Prelude to a Comprehensive Theoretical Framework," and "Facing Uncertainty: the Role of Norms and Formal Institutions as Shared Mental Models." Other working papers address game theory as an analytical foundation for social scientific inquiry; the political economy of collective-action, radical reform, and revolution. He is currently in the early stages for a second book on collective action, inequality, and development.
Professor Ferguson's teaching has ranged from institutional political economy, policy analysis, and game theory to labor economics, British economic policy (taught in London), statistics, and macroeconomic analysis. He was an early director and chair of the Grinnell-in-Washington program, for which he developed much of the curriculum. He has served as chair of the Policy Studies Concentration, which he helped to develop based on his work with Grinnell-in-Washington. He has twice been chair of the Social Studies Division at Grinnell and a member of the Faculty Executive Council and recently chaired the Economics Department. Courses taught 2012-2015 include Seminar in Political Economy (ECN 370), Applied Game Theory (ECN 338), Foundations of Policy Analysis (ECN/PST 220), Labor Economics (ECN 215), Introduction to Economics (ECN 111), and London as a Global Economic Centre Before and After the Financial Crisis.

In the late 1870s, the Governor General of Canada, the Marquess of Lorne, determined that Canada required a cultural institution to assist with Canada's development. In 1883, the Royal Society of Canada (RSC) was granted its Royal Charter and, since that time, succeeding governors general have remained closely involved with the affairs of the society. One of the functions of the President of the RSC is to serve on the Governor General's advisory council for appointments to the Order of Canada.
The founding document of the RSC outlines its mission:
The object of the Society shall be to promote learning and intellectual accomplishments of exceptional quality. The Society recognizes remarkable contributions in the arts, humanities and sciences, as well as in Canadian public life. -RSC By-Laws 3.1
The structure of the RSC followed the model of the Royal Society of London but with the important addition of literature and other elements found in the Institut de France. Like these counterparts, membership in the RSC was limited and by election. Initially, the RSC was divided into four sections, each of 20 Fellows. These sections were: (1) Littérature française, Histoire, Archéologie; (2) English Literature, History, Archaeology; (3) Mathematical, Physical and Chemical Sciences; and (4) Geological and Biological Sciences. The founding Fellows of the RSC included Sir Sandford Fleming, the originator of the world system of Standard Time, and Sir William Osler, one of the greatest physicians of his day. The "Fellows" of the RSC were nominated by a committee headed by the Principal of McGill University, Sir John William Dawson, and by the former Premier of Quebec, Pierre J.O. Chauveau. These two men served as the first and second presidents of the society.
As Canadian scholarship and research blossomed, the RSC also grew. Within three decades the Fellowship of the RSC doubled in number, with the sections of science growing most rapidly. In order to accommodate this growth, a fifth section, for biological sciences, was added in 1918.
The rise of the social sciences was also being recognized, as early as 1908. The accommodation of the social sciences into the RSC was structurally resolved in 1941 with the expansion of section II (and, later, section I) to include the growing number of social scientists.
After World War II the growth of the RSC accelerated again, and by the mid 1950s the RSC had over 500 Fellows. Almost 70 per cent of the Fellows of the RSC were involved in scholarship relating to the natural sciences. In 1961 the three sections of the natural sciences were amalgamated into a single Section III with eight disciplinary divisions. In 1970 a division of Applied Sciences was added, and in 1974 Medical Science became the tenth division of Section III.
In fact, throughout 1974 the Society as a whole was reorganized toward its modern form. Section I became Académie I – l'Académie des arts, des lettres et des sciences humaines – a Francophone Academy. Section II became Academy II – the Academy of Social Sciences – an Anglophone Academy. Section III became Academy III – the Academy of Science / l'Académie des sciences. The disciplinary Divisions within Academy III were later regrouped into their contemporary four Divisions: Applied Sciences and Engineering (ASE); Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS); Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS); and Life Sciences (LS).
The final phase of institutional restructuring occurred in 2005, when Academies I and II were reorganized as bilingual academies delineated according to discipline rather than segregated according to language.
There are three Academies of the RSC. Academy I is the Academy of the Arts and Humanities. There are three divisions of Academy I: an Anglophone division (I), a Francophone division (II), and a bilingual division for the Arts (architecture, creative writing, and the arts).
Academy II is the Academy of Social Sciences. There are two divisions of Academy II: an Anglophone division (I) and a Francophone division (II).
Academy III is the Academy of Science. There are four divisions of Academy III: ASE, EOAS, MPS and LS. Each of Academy III's four divisions is bilingual.
The RSC elects a total of approximately 75 Fellows per year. The RSC also elects up to 6 Specially Elected Fellows per year, for contributions to the objectives of the society other than by scholarship and research. Finally, a number of Foreign Fellows are elected annually.
The RSC is governed by a 19-member Council, and by a 9-member Executive Committee of Council. Financial support is mainly from three sources: Fellows' subscriptions, membership contributions from 42 universities throughout Canada, and private sector support.
To accomplish its three objectives – to recognize, to advise and to promote – the RSC organizes "core" activities as well as new programming. While recognizing excellence is primarily achieved through the "core" processes of electing Fellows and presenting awards, the RSC advises governments and organizations through the provision of expert reports that address matters of national urgency from an interdisciplinary perspective. The RSC promotes Canadian culture through its presence in multilateral organizations, as well as through a variety of exchange lectureships with academies and universities abroad.

Alexandrite is the highly regarded color changing variety of Chrysoberyl. The color of Alexandrite changes under different lighting conditions.
If viewed in daylight, its color is greenish blue to dark yellow-green. If viewed in incandescent or candle light, its color is pink to red.
Alexandrite is a very rare and highly valuable gemstone, and until recently was extremely difficult to obtain due to its rarity.
However, new sources in Brazil and Tanzania have made this gemstone available and more mainstream on the gemstone market.
Alexandrite was first discovered in Russia in the early 1800's.
It was named in honor of Alexandar Nicholavich, who was later to become the Russian Czar Alexander II.
Legend has it that the gemstone was discovered on the future Czar's birthday and named in his honor, though the factual nature of this is disputed.
The colors within alexandrite are due to trace amounts of the mineral impurities iron, titanium, and chromium (and rarely vanadium is also present).
As is the case with emerald, the chromium element both giveth and taketh away.
While chromium is responsible both for the green color as well as the color change characteristics of alexandrite, chromium also causes alexandrite (like emerald and ruby) to be characterized by fissures and fractures within the gemstone.
Just as emerald is treated under high pressure with oil, in recent years newly-mined alexandrite has oftentimes similarly treated under high pressure with a fluxing agent such as resin, wax, or borax
The most desirable colors of Alexandrite are those that show a clearly visible pure hue color change, such as a pure green/blue in daylight to a pure red in incandescent light.
In addition to its color-changing habit, Alexandrite is a pleochroic gem, showing different color intensity when viewed at different angles.
This factor must be taken into account when cutting Alexandrite gemstones.
Alexandrite exhibiting chatoyancy does exist but is very rare, thus Alexandrite Cat's eye is rarely available.
Alexandrite is a rare and exquisite gemstone with outstanding color changing properties, and is most often faceted into round and cushion cuts that can bring out the best in its color.
In jewelry, Alexandrite is used as rings and pendant centerpieces.
Alexandrite in large sizes is extremely rare and valuable
most Alexandrite available is 2 carats or less.
Mohs Hardness - 6.5-7
Found in - Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Thailand, France, Norway, Tanzania and Australia.
Zircon name was probably derived from the Arabic zar (gold) and gun (color).
It is found in Igneous rocks and comes in a variety of colors.
The colorless stones closely resemble diamonds, but impurities will produce stones of yellow orange, blue, red, brown, and green.
It may be distinguished from diamond by its double refraction and by wear and tear on its facet edges.
When first removed from the water, crystals are dull, but take on brilliance after cutting.
Blue zircon is most sought after as a gemstone, and many of the more common varieties are heated to turn them blue.
It is a source of two rare metals, ziranium and hafnium which are used today in nuclear reactors.
Zircon is an important gemstone of many colors, and is an historical gemstone used for thousands of years.
It is sometimes looked upon as a cheap Diamond simulant, but in actuality it can be a valuable gem
. Its color diversity is caused by traces of certain impurities, some of which are radioactive.
Zircon gemstones containing radioactive element traces undergo a process called metamiction, in which their inner crystal structure becomes destroyed.
These radioactive forms of Zircon must be heated to stabilize them for use as gems.
In fact, many of the gem forms of zircon (even those that are not radioactive) are heat treated to enhance color and increase transparency.
The radioactivity in Zircon gemstones is very minimal and is generally believed to be safe, without posing any health hazards.
Zircon comes closer to resembling Diamond than any other natural gem.
Its strong luster and intense fire gives it a real sparkle that is comparable to Diamond.
However, its popularity is somewhat diminished by the fact that it is often perceived as an inexpensive Diamond imitation.
Colorless Zircon is easily distinguished from Diamond by its strong double refraction and lower hardness.
The brilliant luster and fire of Zircon, combined with its good hardness and range of colors, make it a most desirable gem.
However, it does have some undesirable traits.
An interesting and strange habit exhibited in only few Zircons is that their color darkens and their luster dulls upon prolonged exposure to sunlight.
This effect can be reversed by giving the stones a second heat treatment.
Zircon is also prone to cracking and chipping if banged too hard.
For this reason, care must also be taken when faceting Zircon gemstones.
Another important factor when faceting Zircon is to minimize the appearance of its strong double refraction by cutting along proper angles. Zircons that are not faceted propely can appear blurry, due to strong double refraction.
Zircon is sometimes confused with Cubic Zirconia.
Cubic Zirconia, a synthetic, inexpensive Diamond simulant, resembles colorless Zircon and has a similar sounding name.
However, the two are entirely separate substances, and have no connection with each other except for the fact that they both contain the element zirconium in their chemical structure.
Zircon of all colors are used as gems, but blue, golden-brown, and white are the colors most often used.
Blue Zircon, the most popular color, has a lively pastel blue, and occasionally has a very desirable striking bright blue color.
Colorless Zircon is usually cut with a brilliant cut to bring out its fire to its fullest capability.
It is often used as a cheaper, yet natural alternative to Diamond.
The other color forms (yellow, green, pink, and purple) are less often seen in jewelry.
Zircon is the traditional birthstone for December.
Metaphysical :
In Middle Ages it was worn by travelers as an amulet for protection from sickness, injury and insomnia.
It was believed to provide the wearer with wisdom, honor, and riches, and loss of luster is said to warn of danger.
According to legend, Zircon is the stone of Venus and kindles a fire in the heart of its wearer.
According to fable, the Zircon makes it's wearer so favored that all his ventures thrived.
In modern times, it is thought to help the liver, asthma, lung problems, and stimulate metabolism.
It is also said to symbolize healing and help the wearer overcome losses, heal mental disturbances and promote common sense
How To Test Amber
Amber will always smell of resin / pine forest.
Polyester and plastic will smell very unpleasant, think of a burning plastic bag.
Odour test: Heat a needle much, and let the tip burn in a place where it cannot be seen, for example. through a bore hole. Is it true, the pleasant smell of resin / pine forest.
Plastic and polyester smells like burned plastic.
Celluloid smells slightly of camphor.
Casein smell of burnt milk.
Cut in one piece with a knife, the amber MUSL fracture, as glass or flint, not a nice interface.
Plastic has a much nicer interface.
Salt water sample in a glass of plain water, plastic floaters, but amber and polyester sink.
In a concentrated saline amber floats up, but polyester and Bakelite sink.
It is simply an examination of the density.
The disadvantages of this method is mainly that if amber example. fitted with a s�lv�sken would its density be changed so much that it sinks into the salt solution; and pressed amber can also sink to the bottom.
Other things that can be mistaken for amber is brown glass jewelry and the ruddy agate type carnelian, this is much heavier and harder than amber.
Old jewelry of horns can have a very high similarity with amber, but is slightly heavier and the smell test, it smells very unpleasant of burnt hair

I phoned De Bron at the TEAM (that's the real De Bron on here) and he told me that Leyland was OK with me impersonating him. I am a member of the media - only Paul knows who I am. I gather you know a bunch of the guys.Pick_My_Nose wrote:Pratt....You had me with the Leyland thing! Ha Ha Ha.... I thought I had figured it out. So are you in the media industry?
I'm a fan of Dhaliwal too. Curious though if he learned all his pausing and duh's and Ah's on air from his time under the tutiledge under Gary Rable.
What makes me laugh about Dave is that he's such a throwback to the 80's. I can just imagine him playing air guitar to a Loverboy or REO Speedwagon tune while blowdrying his hair and getting ready for a night out at Richards on Richards. He just cracks me up. I don't mind Bob M's show, but he does too much sports trivia. The big difference I find is that he and Dave have different philosophies. Dave is more into the 'entertainment' aspect (e.g. his porn birthday references) whereas Bob is more of a true-blue hardcore sports fan.

Masterplan – Time To Be King (2010)
Masterplan is back with their fourth full length effort Time to Be King. On this new release, Masterplan's original singer Jorn Lande returns to the band. Quite honestly, I couldn't have been more excited when I found out that Jorn Lande was returning to Masterplan. I did enjoy their MKII CD with Mike DiMeo on vocals, however Jorn Lande has been one of my favorite singers for a long time. The Masterplan releases with Jorn Lande on vocals are great, and I was hoping for more of the same.
I recall one of the reasons why Jorn Lande left Masterplan in the first place is, he wanted to make a more melodic record the next time around, while Roland Grapow wanted to go in a heavier direction like their debut. With Time To Be King, Masterplan both succeeds in being heavy, and melodic.Time To Be King starts off on the right note with a high-speed rocker "Fiddle of Time". This song is pure power metal perfection. If there were any doubts that Masterplan would not return to form, "Fiddle of Time" threw that notion out of the window. In fact, the first four songs on Time To Be King are amongst the best that Masterplan has ever recorded. They are that good!
On the song, "The Dark Road" there are moments where Jorn Lande sounds exactly like David Coverdale. I did a double take the first time I listened to this song. This is a mid tempo number that ought to be getting airplay everywhere. This is an awesome tune.
Masterplan sounds better than ever on Time To Be King. Roland Grapow's guitar work is excellent, and the rhythm section of Mike Terrana and Jan S. Eckert is as good as you will hear in any power metal band. Make no mistake about it, Jorn Lande's voice is the most powerful instrument in Masterplan, and Jorn is singing at the top of his game. I find myself hitting repeat on this CD often, and the songs that I didn't immediately gravitate to have grown on me quite a bit. I don't believe Time To Be King is as strong as Masterplan's debut, but it is a very solid album, and a must own disc for all Masterplan and Jorn Lande fans.

RICHARDSON, Texas (July 7, 2005) – Scientists from The University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) High Energy Physics (HEP) Group were instrumental in a discovery disclosed to the scientific community last week of a mysterious new subatomic particle – dubbed Y(4260). The researchers are part of the BaBar experiment, a United States Department of Energy (DOE) particle physics collaborative research program being conducted at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC).
The discovery could ultimately provide scientists with a deeper understanding of the makeup of the universe.
Details of the breakthrough are contained in a paper that was submitted to the journal Physical Review Letters. In addition, the discovery was reported last week at a research conference in Uppsalla, Sweden, and an announcement was made, also last week, by SLAC (http://www.slac.stanford.edu/gen/pubinfo/pr/20050701/).
Major contributors to the discovery include four researchers from UTD – HEP Group scientist Dr. Shuwei Ye, Professor and Physics Department head Dr. Xinchou Lou, Physics Professor Dr. Joseph Izen and Ph.D. student Glenn Williams. The group's research is funded by the DOE.
UTD's Ye is scheduled to present a seminar tomorrow at SLAC to describe the discovery in detail.
"The Y(4260) was a surprise, and we are just beginning to make sense of its peculiar mass and the unusual way it decays," said Izen. "It's quite an unusual discovery."
UTD's Lou echoed Izen's assessment, characterizing the new particle as "kind of mysterious to us. We are looking at our data to understand what it is and if it has 'siblings.'"
The Y(4260) particle was discovered in the collisions of electrons and their anti-matter counterparts, positrons, at the SLAC facility.
The BaBar experiment is an international collaboration of some 600 physicists and engineers designed to investigate the fundamental nature of matter and the laws that govern it.

Hi, I work at a radio station and recently I want to develop a easier way our viewers get in touch with us. One of the most popular features of a local radio station is the use of indicative opinion polls to reflect their listeners opinions on current news items and events. The polls ask a question and then four responses. The listener selects the answer which they most favour. We use the polls and results in phone-in programmes to generate interest in certain programmes.
So anyways here's my problem; I want to create a basic poll.
For example -
Question - Which country out of the four would you want to go on holiday too?
Responses USA, Thailand, Greece, Italy
So basically what I'm trying to implement is when the program starts it will display an initial menu screen with the following set of options:
1. Display the current score for each possible response.
2. Vote
3. Quit the program.
Display an error message if an invalid response is entered.
If the user selects option two, the program will display the question and the four possible responses. The user will then enter a response and the response will be recorded in the program. Again display an error message if the response is invalid.
The thing I'm trying to do is create one class with the following data:
Survey question
Four possible responses
The current score for each response
It should contain the following methods:
A setter and getter for the survey question
Setters and getters for each of the responses
addVotes, which will add one to the score for the specified response.
It's been years since I've last done java and I really need some help, if anyone can point in the right way with the coding that would be great.

Campanus of Novara
Born: 1220 in Novara (now Italy)
Died: 13 September 1296 in Viterbo (now Italy)
|Main Index
|Biographies index
Johannes Campanus was chaplain to three popes, Pope Urban IV, Pope Nicholas IV and Pope Boniface VIII. In fact he knew Jacques Panteléon, patriarch of Jerusalem 1255-1261, during the years when he was patriarch. Panteléon was elected pope on 29 August 1261, becoming Pope Urban IV, and he made Campanus one of his chaplains He also made him Rector of the Church of Savines in the diocese of Arles in 1263 and gave him a canonicate in Toledo's cathedral in 1264. Campanus also held other benefices being chaplain during 1263-64 to Ottobono Fieschi, the cardinal deacon of Saint Adrian's and papal legate to England. Fieschi was elected pope, becoming Pope Adrian V, on 11 July 1276 but died less than five weeks later. Through Fieschi's influence, Campanus was made parson of Felmersham in Bedfordshire, England, some time before 1268. Urban IV died on 2 October 1264 but Campanus had other leading ecclesiastical figures as his patron so continued to be able to devote his time to scholarship.
One should not think that because Campanus held benefices in France, Spain and England, he must have travelled widely. In fact, although he may have visited these countries, there is no evidence that he did so. It was certainly common practice at this time for leading ecclesiastical figures to give benefices to support their friends who never went in person to the places where they held the benefices. Roger Bacon, writing in 1267, stated that Campanus was one of the four greatest contemporary mathematicians but, despite some historians believing that Bacon knew Campanus personally, this looks very unlikely. If Campanus did indeed visit Ottobono Fieschi while he was in England then a meeting with Roger Bacon would be quite likely but, as we have just explained, this probably did not happen.
Campanus later held a canonicate of Paris and served as papal chaplain to the two more popes, Nicholas IV (1288-92) and Boniface VIII (1294-1303). He lived in the Augustinian Friars' convent at Viterbo for the last few years of his life and in his will he gave instructions for the construction of a chapel to St Anne in the Church of the Holy Trinity in Viterbo. Campanus wrote a Latin edition of Euclid's Elements in 15 books around 1260 and it was the standard Euclid for 200 years. In an edition of this book published in 1531 he is described as 'Magistro Campano' which may indicate that he taught in a university, but there is no other evidence to support this. The date we have given for his death is a guess. It is based on the fact that he drew up his will on 9 September 1296 and on 17 September 1296 Pope Boniface VIII wrote a letter saying that Campanus had just died. His death must, therefore fall between these dates and we have simply taken the midpoint to minimise any error.
Most of Campanus's writings were on astronomy. He wrote Theorica Planetarum which, since it is dedicated to Urban IV, must have been written between 1261 and 1264. In this work Campanus describes the construction and use of an equatorium, the first to be described by a European. This instrument was basically a mechanical calculator to give the planetary motions. The instrument was made of disks whose rotation recreated the motion of a planet using Ptolemy's deferent and epicycle description. As described by Campanus, the construction is not practical and it is unlikely that Campanus would have made an equatorium himself despite writing in his dedication to Urban IV that the instrument [2]:-
... is a novelty among my discoveries, and furthermore I think it will please your greatness by the usefulness of its amusing approach.The work also contains detailed descriptions of Ptolemy's view of the universe giving the longitude of the planets as well as a geometrical description of the motion of the model. Campanus, using Ptolemy's data, calculated the dimensions of the universe including a calculation of the area of the sphere of the fixed stars. Another astronomical work by Campanus is Computus maior which was a treatise on time-reckoning based on solar and lunar cycles. In this work, among many computational descriptions, he provided details of how to calculate the date of Easter. Campanus also wrote the important text Tractatus de Sphaera which was an elementary astronomy book describing celestial phenomena seen during the 24 hour rotation of the heavens. He describes planetary motion in some detail, which is unusual for an elementary text at that time. Since the Tractatus de Sphaera refers to the Theorica Planetarum and the Computus maior it must have been written after these other two texts.
Other astronomical work included a text on using a quadrant and a text on using an astrolabe. Campanus also published his own set of astronomical tables. Data for the planets was taken from the Almagest Ⓣ and from the Toledan Tables edited by the Arabian astronomer Azarquiel in 1080, based on his own work and that of al-Khwarizmi and al-Battani. Campanus determined the time of each planet's retrograde motion and gave precise instructions on using the tables. He also made calculations in great detail of the distances to the planets and their sizes. In [9] Katherine Tredwell gives this summary of Campanus's astronomical contribution:-
As an astronomer, Campanus was not innovative in the modern sense. His importance lies rather in his ability to understand and utilise the recently rediscovered astronomy of the ancients. ... his works helped to establish the foundation on which later generations of astronomers would build their critical re-examination of Ptolemy.Let us now look a bit further at Campanus's mathematical contributions. Most significant of these is his Latin edition of Euclid's Elements which we have already mentioned above. We have given the date of this work as 1260 and this was worked out by Charles Sanders Peirce (see [15]) from the fact that the manuscript text owned by Jacques Panteléon while still patriarch of Jerusalem is still extant. Peirce writes [15]:-
... we have in the commentary by Campanus, considering its respectable strength, occasionally its remarkable strength, additional evidence of the promising beginning of science which was made in the thirteenth century ...The edition by Campanus relied to some extent on Adelard of Bath's Latin translations of Euclid's Elements from Arabic sources. Another Latin Euclid by Robert of Chester was a compilation of writings by commentators on Euclid and did not contain a translation of the text as such. Campanus, however, borrowed most of his definitions, axioms, postulates and enunciations from this work by Robert of Chester. However, in Book VII, Campanus added definitions, postulates and axioms which he took from De elementis arithmeticae artis by Jordanus Nemorarius. Campanus shows that he is familiar with the work of Arab mathematicians and, in Book V, he quotes from Gherard of Cremona's Latin translation of Ahmed ibn Yusuf's treatise on ratio and proportion. In 1485 Campanus's Euclid became the first printed edition of Euclid's Elements when it appeared in Venice, and it was in fact the first printed mathematical book of any importance. Between its first printing in 1485 and 1560 fourteen editions of Campanus's text were printed.
Two further mathematical texts are thought with a high degree of certainty to be by Campanus, although a slight doubt remains. These are De figura sectore and De proportione which clearly form two parts of a whole and are based on the work De figura by Thabit ibn Qurra. We explained above that Campanus borrowed material from De elementis arithmeticae artis by Jordanus Nemorarius. It is fair to note that he also added to the work, for he produced a manuscript which contains three additional propositions. Other mathematical work has been attributed to Campanus, but for most the attribution must be considered rather speculative.
Finally we should mentions Campanus's contributions to astrology. His contribution here was a major one and most people today who have heard of Campanus know of him because of his 'house system' of dividing the horoscope into twelve houses. In fact it was almost certainly his reputation as an astrologer which led to his being chaplain to three popes. Certainly Urban IV made Campanus his chaplain so that he could advise him on astrological and medical matters. Much of his astrological knowledge came from the treatises written in Arabic by ibn Ezra around the middle of the 12th century. However, Campanus used his mathematical skills to develop his 'house system' which is still used by astrologers today. Campanus's house system provided a method of determining a plane through the celestial sphere which could be used to make twelve equal divisions called houses. The plane he chose was the prime vertical, that is the plane through the zenith intersecting the horizon at its east and west points.
Toomer writes [1]:-
Campanus was a writer of considerable influence. His Euclid was almost the canonical version until the sixteenth century, when it was gradually superseded by translations made directly from the Greek. The continuing popularity of his 'Computus' and 'Sphere' is attested by their being printed several times in the sixteenth century. The 'Theorica' was never printed, probably because, unlike the others, it was not a popular work but a technical one that would appeal only to those with a professional interest. It was none the less influential: this is shown both by the large number of surviving manuscripts and by the references to it in astronomical works of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.Note that although the Theorica had not been printed when Toomer wrote these words, shortly after this he, along with F S Benjamin, edited and published the work, see [2].

text: I recently had someone contact me to rehandle a Shigefusa gyuto. It was made without handle scales. Shigefusa's western handled gyuto have an incredible grace to them that always inspires me when I'm working a handle. This one was suminagashi. I brought in a bunch of different woods to choose from and the curly koa really seemed to go well with the pattern. Mark brought in a central pin that he liked. I'm a big fan of using a central mosaic pin with side hidden bolt rivets. I've had a number of folks ask to see a some of my process creating handles and thought this would be a fun one to show. For the most part, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. It's always a little nerve racking to slice a new piece of wood. Having the blade glide to the side can be pretty frustrating! I like to align the holes straight with the spine and have about the same distance from the very back of the beak as from the back edge of the bolster. If I'm working with a material that has more tendency to move over time, I move the front and rear rivets outward. I hollow out the tang of the knife a bit. This both gives a better fit, but it also lightens up the handle and brings the weight forward into the blade. We've got all the shaping and profiling done here. We're at about 600 grit. A little elbow grease moves from 0, 00, 000 and finally to 0000 steel wool. I really like the control that the steel wool gives me without rounding anything I don't want rounded or changing the shape. -Daniel

CBD Oil Spray in Baton Rouge
CBD Oil Sprays And Skin Care Products By Hemp genix
With more research underway surrounding the endocannabinoid system and cannabinoids such as CBD and THC, many new methods for infusing products with cannabinoids are being developed. One of the most intriguing is in using them within CBD Oil Spray products.
Cannabis CBD Oil Sprays come in the form of lotion, salves, balms, and oils, all of which have been infused with cannabinoids. They absorb into the skin directly upon application. CBD Oil Sprays have only grown in popularity over the years. In fact, THC and CBD has even been utilized in general cosmetic products and even personal lubricants.
CBD Skin Care by Hempgenix in Baton Rouge
Applying cannabinoids topically will allow them to absorb into the body quite quickly. The relief is also more focused, generally only affecting the specific area where the product was used. On the other hand, smoking or ingesting marijuana affects the entire body, and it can take up to two hours for any effects to be felt.
CBD Lotion are only mildly invasive, and they make a strong entryway for those that are curious to dip their toes into the world of medical cannabis. The prospect of smoking or ingestion is quite scary to the uninitiated.
It's also worth noting that CBD Oil Skin Care In Baton Rouge are not psychoactive. The endocannabinoid system is activated, and any mind altering properties are blocked from entering the bloodstream. It's worth noting that topical dosages must be quite large. Since the skin of humans absorbs cannabinoids at a low rate, a liberal application is suggested as a workaround.
That said, CBD Oil Skin Care In Baton Rouge can work their way into the skin much easier than THC. They're also more likely to engage the receptors of the CB2 cannabinoids. As such, they have become quite popular for cannabis topical manufacturers. CBD Oil Spray contents have much more hemp than your run of the mill variety of marijuana. CBD Oil Skin Care In Baton Rouge has numerous benefits, included significantly lower toxicity.
CBD oil lotion is also quite popular since there are dual purposes at play. They'll smooth out and even soften the skin of the applied area. It's not uncommon for people to become very adamant that CBD Lotion in Baton Rouge become a regular part of their lives after trying it for the first time. The FDA isn't keen on any particular health claims being made of course, but it's hard to deny the satisfaction rate of those that have been using CBD Oil Spray thus far.
THC is quite well known, having been included in the conversation about marijuana for quite some time now. CBD Skin Care has become more prominent as of late thanks to plenty of research and trials however. There is still much work to be done towards achieving widespread understanding and use of topical products such as CBD Oil Skin Care in Baton Rouge , but it's clear that we're many steps closer than ever before.

CBD Pain Relief Lotion Benefits
Looking at CBD, you will find that a lot of the research is still in the early stages. However, thanks to the changing laws in a number of places, there are more people starting to realize the many medicinal benefits that hemp has. CBD pain relief cream is something that has been able to help a countless number of patients within the United States who live in areas where marijuana has been legalized to get great benefits.
While many people have often immediately gone to the idea that marijuana is mostly known for THC content, researchers have been working hard to identify many of the other components of the plant that can be beneficial to a wide range of patients. It is more important that ever that you get your CBD pain relief cream from an authorized manufacturer and a distributor that you can trust. Every state that has legalized medical marijuana has rules in place regarding the making and distribution of any creams like this. It is best to look into the laws and guidelines where you live to be sure that there are products available that you can buy that adhere to these rules and guidelines.
When it comes to such a cream, you also need to understand how much of the cream you should be using and the best way to apply it. The ingredients get absorbed into the skin, so it may be hard to determine the right dosage in the beginning. Some people will recommend the use of a chart that helps you to track progress with any cream. For example, you can make notations on your pain level with each application.
While you are noting the use of the cream, write down how much you are using and the brand. You can then record how you are feeling after about fifteen minutes and up to an hour later. Keep a log like this and you will find that you have a good bit of quality information that you can refer to on the dosing and how your body may be reacting. Proper monitoring of all application locations will help you to get a better idea.
CBD pain relief cream can be used in a number of states where it is now legal, and it can help to give you a great deal of comfort and freedom from the pain that has been holding you back on a daily basis.

CBD Oil Skin Care products
If you would like to purchase this type of CBD oil on a wholesale basis, you need to keep in mind that the cost and high quality of the oil depends on the plant it comes from. Another significant issue is the quantity of the oil that the plant produces. This oil is the most used critical oil on earth. Industrial hemp oil is not a drug. There is also not enough THC contained in it to produce a psychotropic effect. Our oils specifically have No THC and are therefore 100% USA. Many people might come into contact with industrial hemp oil when looking for cannabidiol oil (CBD) to buy. Therefore CBD Oil wholesalers need to do research to ensure you understand exactly what you are searching then selling ultimately to your customers. In the United States, there are many very low quality, fake CBD oil wholesalers, and many sell CBD oils from Canada or the UK. For 90% of the companies the purity levels are 17% to 40%.
Buy CBD Wholesale
They offer very economic rates, specially when compared with other so-called CBD Wholesalers who are actually middlemen (referred to as Brokers) that drive the expense up. It is an ideal way of saving money by going to the farm directly as soon as possible, or even better to get all of the raw CBD Materials, CBD Oil Drop Shipping, Order Fulfillment and Private Label CBD Manufacturing that you need all from one place. You won't have to give up your regular prices to buy it. The advantages offered by hemp oil hasn't been analyzed extensively in humans, so although it likely does have advantages, they have not been established medically and are not ensured.
It isn't necessary to visit in person to shop. That will help you save even more money. To ensure that you avoid scam drug stores, make sure you thoroughly research web drug store websites. It can also be found easily in a local supermarket all throughout the year.
Since all of its components are natural, it is completely safe to take orally. It is possible to find the product either at a shop or on the web. If you would like to purchase bulk quantities of CBD hemp oil products, contact to obtain specific prices. The leading company for Wholesale CBD Products.

SAG Most Improved: Jenna Fischer
She's normally at hot mess at awards shows. Like, Jenna Fischer canNOT get it together. So, all things considered, this isn't bad. Nothing stands out, nothing offends, nothing terribly remarkable, the hair is soft and wavy, the makeup soft and pretty, the breasts respectfully and not garishly on display….sure it's a little bridesmaidy, but bridesmaidy decent is better than bridesmaidy f-cking ugly. And in Jenna's case, sweet as she is, this is worthy of an acknowledgement.

Family escapes St. Nicholas house fire
Cause of fire under investigation
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Neighbors said they heard up to four explosions when a single story home in the St. Nicholas area caught fire Saturday.
Jacksonville Fire and Rescue responded to the scene on Bridgewater Circle around 2 p.m. Six people were home at the time, but managed to escape. At least two people had to be transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Crews believe an outside source caused the fire. The majority of the damage was done to an aluminum cover over the carport. The fire melted the cover and caused it to fall.
Crews said the wind caused some complications, but they were able to bring the fire under control in 20 minutes.
"It was 4 different explosions. I thought I was back in Vietnam or something," said neighbor Robert Klein. "I'm like, oh my god. So, we responded as fast as we could and so did the other neighbors. I mean, this is a good neighborhood. Good people."
Jacksonville Fire and Rescue is still investigating.

But what is the non-golf expert doing on the cover of a magazine about the sport?
Click here for more pictures from Paulina's photo shoot.
"Sports figures, celebrities and models have appeared on Golf Digest covers since the magazine's beginning," Golf Digest Editor-in-Chief Jerry Tarde explained in a statement. "Paulina ranks at the high end of the golf celebrity scene today, and she has a compelling story to tell. She also might get some new people interested in the game."

While I desperately could use a new car (OK, it's fine and I barely drive, but my ego could certainly use it), I have a hard time buying into any technology in the auto market. Gas prices are only getting worse (as we run out of the stuff) and hybrids are a bandage where we need stitches or maybe an amputation. But for those who missed our original article, the Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell car drives like a dream, emits nothing but water vapor and can be leased by real people to actually drive. It's a viable product...but only 100 are on the market.
So when is Honda planning to mass produce their awesome fuel cell technology? Not for 10 years according to Honda President Takeo Fukui. Why? Or should we say, WHY???????????
It doesn't seem like they're waiting on the cars themselves. Instead, it's a lack of hydrogen refuel stations that is making the job difficult along with a lack of a feasible home solution for consumers. So Honda is working on the home solution part. And while it sounds like a nice idea, I don't mind stopping at the gas station every once in a while...and we'll certainly have plenty of open corners once hydrogen technology destroys fossil fuels. But apparently Honda plans to build their own infrastructure within the home to force private business to follow. [jcnnetwork]

President Obama, defending his tax-cut deal:
This is the public option debate all over again. So I pass a signature piece of legislation where we finally get health care for all Americans, something that Democrats have been fighting for for a hundred years, but because there was a provision in there that they didn't get that would have affected maybe a couple million people, even though we got health insurance for 30 million people, and the potential for lower premiums for 100 million people, that somehow that was a sign of weakness and compromise.
Now, if that's the standard by which we are measuring success or core principles, then let's face it, we will never get anything done. People will have the satisfaction of having a purist position and no victories for the American people. And we will be able to feel good about ourselves and sanctimonious about how pure our intentions are and how tough we are, and in the meantime the American people are still seeing themselves not able to get health insurance because of a preexisting condition. Or not being able to pay their bills because their unemployment insurance ran out.
Sounds great — gotta give a little to get a little. But later in the same press conference, Obama refutes his own argument with a beautiful counterexample: congressional Republicans. They dug in and held out until they got what they wanted:
"I have not been able to budge them [Republicans]," said Obama. "And I don't think there's any suggestion anybody in this room thinks, realistically, that we can budge them right now. And in the meantime there are a whole bunch of people being hurt. And the economy would be damaged. And my first job is to make sure the economy is growing, that we're creating jobs out there, and that people who are struggling are getting some relief."
Shorter Obama: "I was up against people who were smarter than me, more committed than me, more determined than me. I couldn't beat that, so I had to grovel a little to keep them from completely kicking my ass."
I don't doubt Obama's belief that extending the tax cuts for the wealthiest is bad policy, and I applaud his willingness to help the "whole bunch of people being hurt." I don't even think Obama is a wimp, like many on the left are saying — it had to take an incredible amount of guts to make this deal, knowing as he must have how he would be attacked for it from the left and given no credit for it on the right.
What I question is Obama's judgment. Obama is arguing that the source of danger to the middle class was Mitch McConnell's refusal to vote for an extension of unemployment benefits, and that because his deal avoided that outcome, that the deal was good for average Americans. But that's a profound misunderstanding of what just happened.
I wonder how Obama can actually believe that after thirty years of trickle-down economics, in which the rich have been given a continuous stream financial gifts by the federal government on the theory that if only they can be liberated enough from any actual obligations to the rest of the country, that somehow the rest of us will magically begin to prosper as well, that we have not yet reached that point where these massive giveaways to the wealthy are themselves the main reason why there are "a whole bunch of people being hurt." The middle class isn't being destroyed by their employment benefits running out. Sure, this is painful in the short run, but it's not the reason why the middle class is dying.
The middle class is dying because our country has stopped demanding of the wealthy that they contribute their fair share toward the common good. Over the past thirty years, we've relieved the wealthy of their tax burdens at the same time that we've allowed encouraged them to outsource jobs without penalty. We've sent our troops overseas to fight enormously expensive and unending wars that are only tangentially related (at best) to defending the nation, if by "the nation" we mean the actual American people who live in Rhode Island and Nebraska and Oregon. And now, when we begin to take note of the fact that our budgets are seriously unbalanced because our national spending is so much more than our revenue, we get Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson to tell us that the solution is to cut Social Security and to raise the retirement age. Now those few middle-class people who still have jobs can look forward to more insecurity during retirement. This is how "trickle-down" economics has actually worked.
President Obama has missed the forest for the trees. The problem isn't Mitch McConnell's threat to vote against an extension of unemployment benefits, the problem is that Mich McConnell's political opponents, and Mich McConnell's predecessor's political opponents, have caved in again and again for the past thirty years to right-wing demands that privilege the rich, regardless of the consequences for everyone else.
I'm one of those people who think that helping the middle class is good for the country. Every government policy helps some people more than it helps others, and the policies of the last thirty years, I think, have helped the wealthy at the expense of the middle class, and this has gone on for far too long. This is how America becomes a two-tiered banana republic. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but eventually. With little deals like the one Obama just made.
Obama's deal isn't cowardly. It's stupid.
