H. Ottan, or Otton, or Ottino? Beiber, Lassen County, California
My grandmother, Esther Durfee, was a budding photographer while living as a young woman with her parents in Bieber, Lassen County, California. Her father, Thomas Jefferson Durfee was the postmaster there over many years. When young Esther got her first camera she seemed to have made it her mission to photograph every person within the community, or so it seemed! The first photo album has had all the people who were identified in it, scanned.
Today I would like to introduce you to a fellow whose name needs some help! Another one whose name is not in the databases as written below. Who was he really? H. Ottan or Otton, or Ottino?
Photo taken about 1918 (could have been as late as 1920).

Apple Inc. saw its shares pick up nearly 2% by midday Monday, on speculation over new-products such as an \"iWatch\" and the possibility the company will return more cash to shareholders.
Such a confluence of drivers may become more commonplace for the stock, which growth investors seem to have abandoned over the past few months. The lack of product-related buzz after the introductions of the iPhone 5 and iPad mini last fall helped push the shares down from $700 to their current range around $484. It therefore makes some sense that reports that the company is working on a so-called iWatch could re-ignite some interest among gadget-loving investors.
But that\'s not the only thing driving interest in Apple these days. The stock has picked up nearly 6% in gains since last week, when hedge-fund giant David Einhorn made public his battle to get the company to consider issuing a special grant of preferred stock to shareholders. Others have called on Apple to step up its buybacks or increase the dividend it started only last year, as cash has continued to balloon on the company\'s balance sheet.
One influential Apple analyst issued a report over the weekend, recommending that the company adopt \"a 50% capital return strategy\" for investors. Brian Marshall of ISI Group cited conversations with \"smart money investors\" whom he says are building up positions on the stock on the belief that \"a favorable capital allocation update will be the next catalyst for the shares.\"
Apple will hold its shareholder meeting on Feb. 27, by which time the company may choose to announce new plans for returning cash to shareholders. Product related news may be a longer time in coming — the company typically hosts its Worldwide Developers Conference in early June, at which its expected to unveil the next update to its iOS mobile operating system and possibly new iPhone models.
Its impossible to guess at when the ultra-secretive firm might choose to unveil a new watch or TV product — if it is indeed building such products. So investors in the meantime may focus on getting some cash back from the company — especially since banking solely on the stock\'s performance has proven to be problematic of late.

U.S. wheat growers are likely to face renewed competition in Latin America as Canada's spring wheat exports recover.
Canadian wheat production last year fell to its lowest level in nearly three decades, resulting in a 50 percent slashing of its exports to Latin America, according to a just-released report by USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service.
Canada is the primary competitor for wheat exports to Central America, the Caribbean, and northern South America, shipping about 4 million tons to the region annually.
Report author Levin Flake said many of the markets, for which Canada had been the main supplier, turned to the U.S. to fill their import demand.
About one-fourth of total U.S. wheat shipments usually go to Latin America, he said; last year, they totaled one-third.
Hard red spring wheat accounted for over 80 percent of the growth, as imported substituted it for Canadian spring wheat.
While the U.S. market share in non-Brazilian Latin America had stagnated at just below 50 percent for the previous three years, last year the U.S. was able to capture nearly two-thirds of the market.
"U.S. wheat was even able to make inroads into the Brazilian market, because of higher Argentine prices, which resulted from farmers holding their grain," Flake said.
With the beginning of the new marketing year, the U.S. has continued to benefit from this environment of reduced competitor supply, and sales and shipments to Latin America "have continued at a brisk pace."
Commitments to Venezuela, Mexico, Chile, Guatemala, and Colombia are all significantly above year-ago levels, he said.
"Additionally, Cuba has emerged as a new market for U.S. wheat, with commitments to date for over 200,000 tons."
However, Flake said, as the marketing year progresses, "competition will intensify."
Wheat production is forecast to jump nearly 40 percent in Latin America's traditional supplying countries and Canadian production is expected to rebound to 22 million tons, up by 6 million.
"Canada will be eager to regain lost market share," he said.
Argentina's production is also forecast to improve by more than 2 million tons from last year's low level.
"This, coupled with less import demand in Brazil due to higher domestic production, will mean more Argentine wheat available to compete with the U.S. and Canada in South American countries such as Bolivia, Chile, and Peru," Flake said.
"So, in a year in which U.S. total wheat exports are expected to rise to their highest level in four years, due to less exportable supply in Europe, the U.S. will nevertheless have to struggle to maintain its gains in Central and South America."

Names: Smallage
Habitat: Cultivated widely. The wild variety grows in marshy places.
Collection: The seeds should be collected when ripe in the autumn.
Part Used: Dried ripe fruits.
Indications: Celery Seeds find their main
use in the treatment of rheumatism, arthritis and gout. They are especially useful in rheumatoid arthritis where there is an associated mental depression. Their diuretic action is obviously involved in rheumatic conditions, but they are also used as a urinary antiseptic, largely because of the volatile oil apiol.
Combinations: In rheumatic conditions they combine well with Bogbean. They appear to work better in combination with Dandelion.
Preparations & Dosage: Infusion; pour a cup of boiling water onto l-2 teaspoonfuls of freshly crushed seeds. Leave to infuse for l0-l5 minutes. This should be drunk three times a day.
Tincture; 1-4 ml three times a day.

Games at Monticello
Just as he played games with the grandchildren on the West Lawn, Thomas Jefferson taught them games in the parlor, "suitable to the hour and to the place."
Both adults and children played board games at Monticello, such as The Game of the Goose, which resembles Parcheesi and was invented in Italy in the sixteenth century. Chess was one of Jefferson's favorite games, and one that he taught his granddaughter Ellen Wayles Randolph to play. In the summer, the two would carry the chess set outdoors and play under the trees on the West Lawn.
In addition to board games, the family also played word games, as described by several family members. In the winter evenings, sitting around the fire at dusk, the children were encouraged to play games. Granddaughter Virginia Randolph Trist had written: "When it grew too dark to read, in the half hour which passed before candles came in, he taught us several childish games, and would play them with us. I remember that 'Cross-questions,' and 'I love my Love with an A,' were two I learned from him; and we would teach some of ours to him."

A modern architect and a natural resources activist might be an unlikely pair. But together they created a house, on property now known as Windhover Ranch, that the city of Boulder has deemed worthy of preserving.
Martha "Ricky" Weiser, once described herself to a Denver Post reporter as "a burr under the official saddle."
An outspoken presence at public meetings for years in the city and county, she fought against highways, industry and anything that would infringe on natural resources.
In 1987, Weiser was chosen a Daily Camera Pacesetter for Environment/Quality of Life. She was also an actress, participated in the Society for Creative Anachronism and collected Prince Valiant comics. Her death in 2002 was front-page news.
Weiser, her husband and two sons moved to Boulder from Iowa in 1956. After purchasing a 240-acre farm property near 75th Street, known to many as White Rocks, they asked family friend Gale Abels to design a home for them. Abels obliged, and the result was a distinctive modern structure that maximized views of surrounding nature.
Lewis Gale Abels, is one of the lesser known mid-century modern architects who made an impact on Boulder's built environment.
Abels graduated with distinction from the University of Minnesota and then earned a master's degree in architecture from the Harvard University School of Design in 1952. While at Harvard, he studied under Bauhaus modernist Walter Gropius.
Abels worked at a Denver firm before opening his own architecture practice in Boulder. He designed award-winning residences in Boulder, a studio for renowned ceramic artist Betty Woodman, an addition to the CU Fine Arts building in 1967 (demolished in 2008) and several airport-related structures. An avid glider pilot, Abels died in 1995.
The Weisers divorced a couple of years after the completion of their house, which they called "Foxhills." Ricky raised her two sons there and remained until her death.
Weiser's White Rocks property, home to owls and other raptors, was designated a Colorado Natural Area in 1979 by the State Department of Natural Resources. In 2011, the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks acquired the property, which is now known as Windhover Ranch.
Julie Johnson, Cultural Resource Program Manager of the OSMP, headed up the Weiser home restoration team.
Since Weiser's death, the house had been vandalized and generally fallen into disrepair, Johnson said.
Some iconic mid-century fixtures inside the home, such as a "flying saucer" hanging lamp designed by George Nelson, were saved. Other original accessories were too damaged and were traded for similar styles.
Energy efficient windows were installed to replace more than 50 original single panes from the 1960s. Exterior wood finishing will be completed in 2013.
Tenants who recently moved into the home enjoy below-market rent because of behavior restrictions: Large parties, loud music and pets are some of the forbidden activities because of nearby raptors.
The OSMP is pursuing a National Register of Historic Places nomination for the Weiser home. Johnson said officials with History Colorado have determined the property is eligible under both significant architecture and significant person.
The house is not visible from any city street, and the public is not permitted to access the property because of its proximity to resident nesting bald eagles.
However, when the closure is lifted -- that's expected to happen next summer -- there will be guided hikes at the property, some of which will include home tours.

Goddess symbols, individualized for each goddess, were incorporated into the worship of
the ancient goddesses, were often worn as jewelry, and also used in the household decor as
talismans to seek the goddesses special gifts, blessings, or protection. A large
number of goddess symbols have survived in statuary and other works of art.
Many of the goddess symbols come from the legends
surrounding a specific goddess and were "characters" in her story. Other goddess symbols were derived
from the rituals used in the ancient rites of worship of these pagan goddesses.

Christophe leans over the bowl, meets the wooden spoon with his lips and tastes the sauce. The class holds their breath
"More… thyme," he finally declares, and sends the nearest student to the door and out to the garden to pick more.
Seeing the journey from garden to kitchen to plate – all of 10 metres in this case – is the ethos behind the organic cookery school in the Clare Island Retreat, County Mayo. For dinner, workers on the farm (wwoofers) climb over rock pools, knives between their teeth, lean into the sea and cut some "spaghetti seaweed". One hour later they're in the kitchen learning to chop it; two hours later and it's a Chinese stir-fry with an Irish seaweed twist. Chef and co-owner Christophe Mouze explains:
"Our cooking classes are about fresh, seasonal food. We grow all our vegetables, which means we have to eat seasonally. It all starts in the garden."
The success of cookery schools in Ireland seems effortless. For years visitors have begged local chefs for the secret to their seafood chowder, or left their B&B with the family's famous soda bread recipe in their pocket. But in fact, the Irish cookery school has worked very hard to get where it is. Liz Moore, who ran Belle Isle Cookery School in County Fermanagh for 10 years and has cooked for the Queen of England, reckons the school's great reputation is simply down to "great ingredients and passionate tutors."
Farm to fork
Chef, author, and TV presenter Darina Allen has been credited for an Irish food revolution. Her Ballymaloe Cooking School, with its 100-acre organic farm, restaurant and guesthouse, is an international brand in itself. Allen was always convinced of the vital connection between farming and cooking, and this belief passed easily from master to pupil. Former student of Allen, Catherine Fulvio has appeared on US TV channel NBC's Today Show demonstrating recipes, and continues the ethos of Allen in her own Ballyknocken Cooking School in Wicklow: "People especially enjoy the farm and surroundings, from the sheep in the field to the herbs in the herb garden – it is a full food experience."

The Tannery in Waterford, meanwhile, has won Cookery School of the Year for three years, and its Glanbia organic garden supplies as much as is physically possible for the restaurant and cookery school. Eat Like a Girl blogger and cookbook author Niamh Shields is a huge fan of the place: "The Tannery's Paul Flynn is a very talented chef and passionate about local produce. That combination of a world-class restaurant and cookery school with the great local produce really puts the area on the map."
Local suppliers, fresh produce
Chefs are quick to acknowledge the importance of producers and suppliers. Liz Moore, former director of Belle Isle Cookery School (which now rests in the capable hands of Joe Kelly), cites the quality and sustainability of our beef and the purity of our fish, and how the EU has granted Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) to a number of Irish products as reasons for why these schools attract foodies all through the year.
So, we had to ask: what's the easiest Irish recipe to start with? That would have to be the quintessential Irish brown bread, according to The Tannery's Paul Flynn…
Back in Christophe's kitchen on Clare Island, the students are hoping the same as they leave with the recipe and jars of starter culture for his spelt bread. And if they don't, it's just an excuse for another course.
Know anyone whose kitchen could do with a little more love and attention?

Or crashed, or the usual Xmas small print of "batteries not included" wasn't spotted by the ESA chaps at Darmstadt.
Whatever, I've been following the Beagle's progress or otherwise on the Beagle team's Weblog (no feed unforch), and news pages.
However, I'm pleased to see that the Beagle itself is rather smarter than the ESA chaps and not only has managed to avoid the frames and tables tag-soup hell of the official site, but it's also managed to setup it's own blog on BlogSpot. I guess it feels somewhat superior to the ESA folks who've landed it on a hostile planet with such a very limited selection of MP3s, so it's decided to do its own thing communication wise.

Embattled former "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" regular Gary Dourdan has avoided jail after allegedly breaking his ex-girlfriend's nose in a fight last year.
The actor was arrested in November 2011, following the altercation at his home in Venice, Calif.
Dourdan has marked the anniversary of the fight by striking a deal with prosecutors.
He has been placed on five years formal probation and must complete a full year of domestic violence counseling and undergo drug counseling to deal with his ongoing narcotics problems.
The actor has also been ordered to stay away from the victim for five years, according to TMZ.com.

Your Florida Lawn is under constant stress, trying to survive in an often hostile environment including heat, humidity, weeds, salt intrusion, poor water retention, invading insects, fungus and other pathogens just to name a few. Our constant tropical climate makes caring for your Florida Lawn a year round task. Constant maintenance is required to ensure proper nutritional balance and to control weeds and insect intrusion.
Florida's climate causes bug season to persist for much of the year. It is important to only apply pesticide applications when insects are present in high numbers and to reduce use when they are not. Although preventive measures should be taken for some types of insects, broad application of pesticides when insects aren't present can also be damaging. Florida soils have unique nutritional requirements to their northern counterparts. Common store bought fertilizers deliver too much phosphorous, most Florida soils already get plenty.
The first step to a healthy lawn involves proper mowing, trimming and watering. Done properly, you will be surprised at the improvement in even the poorest of lawns.
The sand in Florida's soil prevents it from retaining or storing nutrients. Consequently, nutrients must be provided much in the same way as a parent provides nutrients for a child who doesn't eat the right foods.
Pest invaders attack stems and roots causing damage to the overall health of your lawns and plants. Quick identification and treatment is the only way to prevent disease from spreading.
Florida lawns present several challenges depending on the type of grass you have. In Florida, the majority of lawns will have the following types of turfgrass:
Get the dirt on your grass. Ask your Truly Nolen representative for a Grass Facts Sheet for your particular type of Turfgrass for tips on maintenance and proper care.
Truly Lawn Care is a customized year round program designed to take the guesswork out of fertilization, weed and insect control and provide protection against plant and grass damaging fungus and disease. Truly's service starts with a comprehensive Lawn Analysis that allows us to identify current problems affecting the overall health and appearance of your lawn. We identify the zones of your lawn most susceptible to insect activity, weed intrusion and additional areas of concern. Special care is taken to audit your current maintenance approach and provide tips for maintenance based on the type of grass you have.
Truly Nolen provides our customers with specialty services designed to address their specific concerns. Combine all of the specialty services in a monthly service cycle at substantial savings through our Truly Lawn Care Gold Program.
Truly Lawn Care weed program is designed to treat weeds commonly found in Saint Augustine grass (such as broadleaf weeds.) Non-selective herbicides can be applied to treat crabgrass and grassy weeds (such as Bermuda). The treatment of weeds in Bahia, and mixed grass is not included.
Getting rid of fleas and ticks requires monthly treatment and must be performed in conjunction with our Four Seasons Protection Plan for pests. Because our pets move from inside to outside frequently it is almost virtually impossible to eliminate the problem unless we treat the exterior, the perimeter, and interior of your home.
Ornamentals are susceptible to infestation from other types of insects. Our ornamental program is designed to treat insects such as aphids, whitefly, scales and caterpillars. Regular fertilization is included to ensure your plants receive the proper nutrition at regular intervals. Treatment for common leaf spot diseases will be performed as needed. *Weed control of plant beds is not included.
Our citrus program provides the balanced nutrition your citrus trees need to thrive. In addition to fertilization, Truly Nolen will treat for pests commonly found on citrus trees such as aphids, scales and caterpillars using insecticides that are not harmful to humans when consuming the fruit. Leaf spot diseases will be treated as needed. *Truly Nolen can not treat fruit bearing trees with insecticides.
Provides balanced nutrition and essential micronutrients needed by your palms. Treatments for insects and diseases are not included but can be done for an additional charge upon request.
Truly Nolen's Fire Ant Treatment Program is guaranteed to control fire ants for 1 year with a single application. Applied at anytime during the year, granules are broadcast over the areas where fire ants are present. The ants ingest or come in contact with the active ingredient and pass it along through social interaction causing the mound to slowly crumble killing the queen and the colonies ability to reproduce. The residual effect controls existing mounds and prevents new ones from forming all year long.

Tallahassee is a Mid-sized mix of several defining elements. It is the state's capital but bears little resemblance to the coastal cities more aligned with the Florida image. It is a college town, home to the 35,000-student Florida State University and the smaller Florida A&M, but doesn't come across as a typical college town. It is, both in character and appearance, more of a Southern city than a Florida one – laid back, dignified buildings and grid streets with a canopy of large trees, forests and cotton fields outside of town.
Pluses include a few college-town amenities, particularly sports, nightlife and healthcare facilities, and high educational attainment. Home prices haven't escalated as much as in other Florida cities, and Tallahassee has good home values and neighborhoods. For that reason, the area is starting to become more popular for retirees looking for a pleasant climate, less crowding and some intellectual stimulation. Outdoor recreation opportunities lie in the Apalachicola National Forest and beach areas just south of town. With 36 days below freezing, Tallahassee is by far the coldest metro area in Florida, although hardly cold by national standards.
Local terrain is rolling, with rich, red soil and forests of live oak, pine, magnolia, and a variety of other subtropical vegetation. Numerous lakes surround the area, and the countryside is famous for its "canopy roads" - long stretches of road completely sheltered by overhanging live oak trees. The climate is mild and moist with distinct seasons. Winter brings considerable rain and cloudiness, with temperatures occasionally dropping into the teens. Summer is the least pleasant season- high temperatures and very high humidity cause considerable discomfort, plus thunderstorms occur every other day.

Portland, Oregon-based photographer Garric Ray has been living the skate life his whole life. He cut his teeth working in skate shops and constantly skating the Pacific Northwest. At 18 he blew out his knee skating and, in that down-time, became interested in photography. Tons of minimum wage jobs and saving money later, and he finally bought his first camera. Now, Garric has found his photographic style and his work has graced the pages of TransWorld, Thrasher, The Skateboard Mag, Kingpin, Concussion, and Automatic. Read below the gallery for a little Q&A.
First camera you shot with: The first camera I ever owned was a Canon AE-1 that I bought from a pawn shop.
Camera kit you're using now: A Canon EOS 1 DS Mark II for stills, a Canon EOS 1 D for sequences, two Lumedyne power packs and bunch of lens. And sometimes I use my Hasselblad.
Favorite point and shoot: Canon SD750 Digital Elph.
Favorite film camera: My Hasselblad 500 C, I worked so many shitty jobs to buy that thing! I really need to use that beauty more often. It just hurts the bank account if you use it too often.
First published skate photo: In TransWorld a couple years ago, it was for a skate park, feature my friend Robert Bemis was doing a tre flip down a set of stairs.
Best photography advice someone gave you: I've been really lucky and have gotten advice from the best photographers around (Brian Gaberman, Jon Humphries, Mike O'Meally, Bryce Kanights). Those guys always say fill the frame, and always try to have your photos lit as crisp as possible. Also, always keep your flashes at half power.
Your advice to up and coming photogs: Well to be honest, I still think I'm trying to figure that one out myself. In my personal experience I would say never give up! If you love shooting skateboard photos enough and you keep at it, things will hopefully just fall into place . Also, I feel like the best advice out there is the magazines themselves. If you look at those long enough you start to figure your lighting and angles, etc.

Ricketts Twirls One-Hit Shutout
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. -- No. 1 Oklahoma continued to flex its muscles against ranked opponents with a 5-0 win over No. 16 Georgia in the opening game at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Palm Springs, Calif., on Thursday afternoon.
The Sooners are a perfect 5-0 against top-25 teams this season and have won those games by a combined score of 36-0. Overall, Oklahoma is 11-0 on the season, its best start since a 23-0 run to open the 2007 season.
Senior pitcher Keilani Ricketts was dominant in the circle against the Bulldogs (7-3) as she improved to 5-0 on the young season. The lefthander from San Jose, Calif., gave up just one hit and one walk while striking out 10 in the 100th complete game of her career.
With her 10 punchouts, Ricketts moved into 20th place in Division I softball history with 1,311 for her career.
The Sooners scored what would be the winning run in the first inning.
Sophomore Lauren Chamberlain led off with a single up and the middle and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by fellow sophomore Georgia Casey. A wild pitch moved Chamberlain to third base and senior Jessica Shults singled to left field to drive her in.
Oklahoma's lead grew to 4-0 with a three-run second inning.
Sophomore Callie Parsons reached on a hit by pitch with one out and moved to second on senior Brianna Turang's groundout to third. Chamberlain drew a two-out walk to keep the inning going before Casey dropped a single to left field. Parsons hustled home from second ahead of the throw, allowing Chamberlain to reach third and Casey to advance to second.
Shults, who went 2-3 with three runs batted in, followed by driving in runs No. 200 and 201 of her career with a shot over Georgia center fielder Samantha LaZear's head.
The Sooners added an insurance run in the fifth inning.
Sophomore Shelby Pendley singled to lead off the frame and stole second base following an out. Destinee Martinez then chopped a pitch back up the middle to plate Pendley and score the game's fifth and final run.
Play continued for Oklahoma at the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic on Thursday. First pitch against No. 19 Arizona took place at 5:30 p.m. CT.

Most retailers' holiday quarter results haven't looked pretty with many issuing guarded outlooks for the new fiscal year that began in early February. But since most of the U.S. spent February in the grip of the polar vortex, retailers likely won't have many carrots to offer investors when they report their February same-store sales on Thursday.
While only about a dozen chains, from Costco Wholesale Corp. /quotes/zigman/67728/delayed /quotes/nls/cost COST to Gap Inc. /quotes/zigman/227242/delayed /quotes/nls/gps GPS , still participate in the monthly sales game, their overall performance still serves as an indicator of how the industry fared and is still watched by the Wall Street community.
Excluding drug stores, same-store sales, a key retail performance metric because it strips out sales from the newly opened and closed stores, are likely to rise 1.9%, compared to a 4.8% increase a year earlier, according to Thomson Reuters.
"The cold weather continues to keep mall traffic weak in February, particularly brick-and-mortar stores," said the firm's analyst Jharonne Martis. She added 33 retailers have already given disappointing first-quarter profit outlooks.
"February was the second coldest in more than 25 years for the U.S. overall and the coldest in seven years," Chief Executive Bill Kirk at Weather Trends International told MarketWatch, adding the snowfall reached its second-highest point in 25 years. "It was one avalanche of bad news after another for retailers of every stripe. Even the big retailers like Macy's still have way too much winter merchandise as so many consumers couldn't get to the stores with all the snow storms. That winter merchandise is on steep markdown as (retailers) try and make room for spring so it's a logistic nightmare for retailers right now."
He added strip centers are hurt even more than mall-based chains, adding that if Macy's /quotes/zigman/467976/delayed /quotes/nls/m M is having issues, the Kohl's /quotes/zigman/231595/delayed /quotes/nls/kss KSS of the world and strip-based chains likely weren't having an easy time either. Both Macy's and Kohl's fiscal fourth-quarter sales through January have disappointed.
Weak demand has likely translated to increased discounts. According to an experimental promotions index from SaleTally and International Council of Shopping Centers, this past week was the most promotional thus far this fiscal year.
Meanwhile, as the West Coast deals with the drought and the ensuing water restrictions, that's likely also having a negative impact on the home centers and early lawn and garden sales, Kirk said. He added higher heating bills also will hurt consumer spending into Spring.
"The warm weather which is normally a plus for home centers is not this go around," he said.
Among the individual retailers, Costco is expected to report a 2.3% gain, compared with a 6% increase a year earlier, Thomson Reuters data showed. Gap's sales will likely slow to a 0.9% gain from a 3% increase. L Brands Inc., owner of Victoria's Secret, /quotes/zigman/14920973/delayed /quotes/nls/lb LB is pegged to see a 1.5% gain, half the rate it posted a year earlier.
Among those expected to show improvement, T.J. Maxx's /quotes/zigman/243683/delayed /quotes/nls/tjx TJX smaller rival Stein Mart /quotes/zigman/78442/delayed /quotes/nls/smrt SMRT is expected to see a 2.5% increase, up from a 0.6% rate.
"Home merchandise is helping sales at Stein Mart, which has the strongest estimate in the apparel group," Martis said. "On the flip side, teen apparel stores continue to hurt as teens trade down. The sector is
expected to see a drop in sales, on top of easy comparisons from a year-ago."

Lack of Snow Cover Worries Some South Dakota Farmers
SIOUX FALLS - Some farmers and ranchers in South Dakota are concerned about the lack of snow-cover protection for their winter wheat.
That's according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly crop report. The report says average snow depth for February across the state was 7 inches with temperatures mixed.
Winter wheat conditions were rated 20 percent very poor, 46 percent poor, 31 percent fair and 3 percent good. Snow cover for winter wheat was rated at 56 percent poor, 42 percent adequate and 2 percent excellent. Alfalfa snow cover was rated at 38 percent poor, 55 percent adequate and 7 percent excellent.
Major activities in February for produces included moving snow, caring for livestock, hauling grain and repairing equipment.

The state Senate agreed Tuesday to tap $49 million from a little-known state surplus to help the MBTA close its deficit for the coming year, avoiding steeper fare increases and wider service cuts than those scheduled for July 1.
The plan, approved by a 26-9 vote after lengthy debate, largely falls in line with a measure approved by the House last week and appears destined to receive Governor Deval Patrick's signature before a June 30 deadline. Passage places an exclamation point at the end of six contentious months for the MBTA, when thousands of riders flooded public hearings to protest fare hikes and service cuts.

From a remote snowcapped mountain in the European Arctic you can detect China in the haze.
In the apparently pure Arctic air, a research station on a Norwegian island mountain ridge finds tiny chemical traces from factories in Russia, pesticides in Israel or China's coal-fired power plants.
"Some days we can definitely tell that the air has come from China," said Kim Holmen, research director of the Norwegian Polar Institute, at the station which has spectacular views over fjords, mountains and glaciers of Spitsbergen island.
The good news from a barrage of sensors is that many of the worst air pollutants, some of them linked to cancers or acid rain, have declined because of clean air laws in recent decades.
But greenhouse gases are surging and other pollutants are building up again even in a wilderness 1,200 km (750 miles) from the North Pole and 1,000 km from the nearest towns and factories in Russia and Norway.
A polluting haze that can blur the view in the Arctic springtime has thickened since around the late 1990s, perhaps because of more forest fires caused by climate change or rising pollution from Asia, led by China's boom, scientists say.
"The Arctic haze is increasing," said Lars Otto Reiersen, head of the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program in Oslo. But the haze is still not as thick as in the 1980s.
Zeppelin, on a 474 meter (1,555 ft) high mountain ridge, is one of about a dozen stations in remote spots from Hawaii to Antarctica that dissect the atmosphere in a U.N. network. It is named after Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, a German Arctic explorer better known for building airships.
"The air is always mixing but you can do some detective work: the particles are slightly different in the United States, Russia, China, Europe or India," Holmen said.
Emissions from cars, for instance, have a different chemical signature according to national gasoline blends. Israel is alone in using a type of pesticide on its orange trees.
More ghoulishly, funeral pyres in some Asian countries release toxic mercury from fillings in the teeth of the deceased. If detected, the mercury means air did not come from Europe, North America or Japan where crematoriums have filters.
"Most of the particles we see come from Europe and Russia," Holmen said of measurements at the site, reached by a tiny cable car. "About 20 percent are from elsewhere."
Clambering up a ladder onto a snow-covered roof crowded with high-tech air-sniffing sensors, Holmen noted the clock to make sure scientists would disregard all measurements when people were outside and disrupt readings.
"When we are out here it has an immediate impact on carbon dioxide levels," he told visitors, as a chill wind blew from the Pole. People emit the gas when breathing.
A recent spike in some readings was explained after a scientist spotted the tracks of an Arctic fox in snow nearby.
One of the clearest trends at Zeppelin is a rise in greenhouse gases, at the highest in more than 650,000 years according to studies of air bubbles trapped in ancient ice.
Carbon dioxide levels reached about 390 parts per million this year against 270 ppm before the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century ushered in wide use of fossil fuels. Warming is widely expected to bring more heatwaves, floods and rising seas.
Most greenhouse gases come from Europe and North America but the rise is quickening, perhaps again pointing to growth in developing nations led by China. But greenhouse gases are invisible and the thickening of the Arctic haze is a puzzle.
"There was an improvement in the transparency of the Arctic atmosphere until 6-8 years ago and then it started to worsen again," Reiersen said.
"This is probably because of an increase in forest fires due to climate change. There are more fires in Siberia and North America and these bring more soot into the atmosphere," he said.
Global warming can contribute to fires because more beetles that prey on trees survive in less icy winters. Trees infested by beetles often dry out and are more vulnerable to fires.
Overall, the world has made progress in cleaning the air since early efforts such as the U.S. Air Pollution Control Act of 1955. Sulphur pollutants from Russian metals smelters have fallen because of laws curbing acid rain.
And a 2001 U.N. pact outlawed a "dirty dozen" industrial chemicals such as PCBs and pesticides, partly after they were found in the breast milk of Inuit women and in polar bear fat.
Holmen said he was trying to refine measurements -- the main disturbances are from a scientific base at Ny Alesund in the valley below, where between 30 and 130 people live.
He said he had even suggested an outdoor smoking ban in Ny Alesund. "Nobody seemed to like that idea," he said.
In pure Arctic air, signs of China's economic boom

Author Notes: Years ago, I won a contest for the best use of cranberries in a dessert by topping Crème Brulée with my homemade Cranberry Sauce. Last summer I started thinking about that and decided to try it with my favorite summer fruit, red raspberries. Their tartness provides a delicious counterpoint to the smooth, sweet custard. —ChefJune
Makes: 6 servings
for the Custard:
cups heavy cream (preferably not ultra-pasteurized)
fresh vanilla bean
large egg yolks
cup cane sugar
pinches of fine sea salt
1 1/2
cups whole raspberry sauce (recipe follows)
for the Raspberry Sauce:
cup cane sugar
cup cold water
cup orange juice concentrate
pint fresh raspberries
In This Recipe
for the Custard:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour the cream into a medium-size saucepan. Using a sharp knife, slit the vanilla bean half lengthwise. Scrape the insides into the pan, along with the shell of the bean. Bring to a boil over high heat. Remove and set aside for 15 minutes. Remove the bean (and rinse off to make vanilla sugar).
- Meanwhile, place the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat until blended. Add the cream and vanilla mixture and mix well. Place 6 shallow, oval gratin dishes, about 4 or 5 inches long, in a baking dish. Pour the custard into the dishes. Add enough hot water to the baking dish to reach halfway up the sides of the gratin dishes. Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the cream sets but does not brown. Remove the gratins and place them, uncovered, in the refrigerator for an hour (at least). [The recipe can be made ahead up to this point and refrigerated overnight.]
- Before serving, bring the custard to room temperature (about ½ hour). The best way to brulée the topping is to use a blowtorch. If you don't have one, you can preheat broiler to maximum temperature. Set the oven rack within 1 to 1 1/2 inches from the element. Evenly spread about 1/4 cup of raspberry sauce on each custard. Sprinkle the top of each gratin dish with sugar. Place on a tray and slide under the hot broiler until topping is caramelized and crispy (about 7 minutes). Serve at once.
for the Raspberry Sauce:
- In a non-reactive saucepan, combine sugar, orange juice concentrate and water. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Bring to the boil. Add raspberries, and return mixture to the boil. Simmer gently for about 12 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. Chill. Makes about 2 1/4 cups. (You won't need all of it for the custards.)
- Teacher's Tips: 1. When heating the cream, bring it to a boil, but do not let it continue to cook for any length of time. Remove it from the heat as soon as a genuine boil (bubbles all over the surface) is achieved. 2. It's important to use cane sugar, because I've found beet sugar makes a grainy custard.

Team Maggie Update Day 15 Updated!
9:25 AM Update
Maggie's Neutrophil levels are over 500! That means the hormone treatments she received yesterday have really boosted those little white blood cells! Two more days with counts over 500 will mean that she is "engrafted" which is a huge milestone with bone marrow transplants!
On the flip side, Maggie is still experiencing belly pain, so there will be an xray and ultrasound in today's orders.
After a great day yesterday, last night was filled with tummy pains and vomiting. Luckily around 11 she was asleep
She had spent the early evening while she was feeling better, telling ghost stories by "candlelight"
The cards and letters that Maggie is receiving have been great! The nurses are amazed at the volume of mail that Maggie has been receiving on a daily basis! One of the highlights of Maggie's day is when the mail arrives :) and the entire family loves looking at all the photos that we have posted on the website in support of Team Maggie!
Mark your calendar for Monday, August 19th, because that night will be a Team Maggie Night at Miguel's Mexican Restaurant on the Hogan Road in Bangor. They will be donating 10 percent of all the dinner sales to Team Maggie, and there will be a 50/50 raffle. If you would like to help with the planning, please call Chris Popper at 941-1994 or email me at email@example.com
Maggie turns 5 on August 19th. She will be in the hospital still on her birthday. If you'd like to send a card or a gift, her address is
BMT Unit Floating 6
Attention: Maggie Rudnicki
750 Washington Street
Boston, MA 02111
I asked Maggie's mom what she likes and this is Lauren's reply
"She loves the Boston bruins, lip gloss and scary things (ghost stories, vampires, goosebumps books etc) those are a few favorites but honestly just well wishes are all she needs!"
Please keep praying. Prayers do work! They've made those little white cells grow, and those white blood cells are what's making Maggie feel so good. The change in 7 days has been nothing short of miraculous! Pray for a peaceful day and week ahead. Pray for those white blood cells to start multiplying! Pray for a sense of calmness for Maggie, Lauren and the entire Rudnicki family. Pray that those white blood cells continue to grow, and grow quickly! Pray for healing, pray for strength!
You can make a donation to help defray the medical and travel costs associated with Maggie's care. Maggie has been down in Boston for 3 weeks. If you want to make a donation, click HERE for the details

Hong Kong magnate Li Ka-shing said he will donate $130 million to Israel's leading engineering university, the Technion, to help establish a joint academic venture with a university in China's Guangdong Province.
Technion, whose graduates form the core of Israel's renowned start-up industry, will partner with Shantou University, to which Li has donated some $750 million over three decades, to build a technology institute and innovation center in the image of the successful Israeli school. The new school, which will be called the Technion Guangdong Institute of Technology, will be built and staffed with a $147 million grant from the provincial and municipal governments.
"If many universities in Guangdong and China do the same as Technion has been doing in Israel, an innovation-based economy will emerge," said Shantou University Provost Gu Peihua at a ceremony in Tel Aviv on Sunday, according to a press release.
The collaboration expands the international activities of Technion, which together with Cornell University won a sought after tender in 2011 to build a research institute in New York City.
"This is one more step in turning the Technion into a university with a global presence: one in the West in New York and one in the East with Guangdong in China,'' said Boaz Golany, Technion's vice president of external relations and resource development.
Golany said Technion is following dozens of Western universities that have established branches in Israel. The partnership calls for a technology industrial park that Golany hopes will give Israeli start-ups a beachhead in China, a market that some Israeli exporters hope to penetrate after years of focusing on the U.S. and Europe.
Li, who has backed universities in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada, has a long history of investing in the Jewish state. His conglomerate, Hutchison Whampoa, founded one of Israel's top cellular phone service providers in the late 1990s. Li also invested in Waze, a traffic-mapping start-up recently purchased by Google for $1.1 billion. A press release said he used proceeds from the acquisition for the Technion donation, the largest ever to an Israeli university. At least half of Li's gift will be spent in Israel.

Stanford's Chase Thomas glad he stayed
Los Angeles -- - He could have been making a lot of money and bashing quarterbacks in the NFL this season. Chase Thomas has no regrets that he came back to Stanford for one more reprise.
"Of course, I'm happy," he said Thursday of the decision. "I achieved my goal of getting to the Pac-12 championship and coming here to the Rose Bowl. It's been a goal of our program every year since I've been here, and it definitely felt like we had a good shot of doing that this year."
OK, so he's happy. But he doesn't exactly radiate happiness.
"He definitely has a grumpy side," linebacker Shayne Skov said. "Tell me the next time you see him smile."
Defensive end Ben Gardner describes Thomas as "a grumpy, salty guy out on the edge. He's not real friendly on game day, and we love that about him."
During the team's outing at Disneyland on Wednesday, Thomas was on the Splash Mountain ride, preparing to get wet. "It might have been the first time I've ever seen him smile," Gardner said.
Usually operating with clenched-jaw fury, the 6-foot-4, 248-pound outside linebacker has once again been very difficult to block. He ranks second to Skov on the team with 71 tackles, 10 of them in the Pac-12 championship game against UCLA.
Whether his decision to forgo the NFL for a year was a smart one professionally remains to be seen in the April draft. During the past year he has improved his pass defense as well as his all-around performance.
There isn't a more aptly named player on the team than Chase. He had 14.5 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks, down from 17.5 and 8.5 a year ago. Maybe opponents were giving him more double teams, or maybe the other outside linebacker, Trent Murphy, who led the team in both categories, was absorbing more of the workload.
Thomas has remained the unquestioned leader of the pack.
"He leads from how he plays," center Sam Schwartzstein said of his fellow co-captain. "He always plays with a chip on his shoulder. He always thinks he's got something to prove."
This week Thomas is gearing to slow Wisconsin's powerful ground attack and its All-America tailback, Montee Ball, and his two henchmen, James White and Melvin Gordon.
"We have to make them throw the ball," Thomas said. "We have to win on first and second down to be able to put them in a 3rd-and-long situation where they throw the ball. They ran the ball on 3rd-and-12 this year. So that doesn't even do it always."
The Badgers frequently put men in motion and use six, seven or even eight offensive linemen, much as Stanford did a couple of years ago. They'll have to contend with a guy whom former coach Jim Harbaugh identified in his freshman year as the team's most natural pass rusher.
"The other team has to focus their game plan on blocking him and making sure he's not in the backfield," Gardner said. "That opens things for all the other guys."
After the loss to Notre Dame, Stanford's second loss, Thomas was at his grumpiest, his teammates said. When the team didn't practice well the following Tuesday, he addressed the defense while Schwartzstein and Stepfan Taylor did the same for the offense. Then the whole team got together and heard the message again from the captains.
"The fact that a coach has to ask us to practice hard after a loss didn't sit well with us, with the seniors and the captains," Thomas said.
There was no yelling or finger-pointing in the meetings, but the message was clear, he said: They needed to pick up the practice intensity, and if they kept it up, they could still win the Pac-12 and go to Pasadena.
"Just telling guys this is what we need to get done," Thomas said. " 'If you don't want to do that, get out of the locker room right now. And if you do want to do it, let's go practice.' And they made up their minds."
So, mission accomplished, with one more task to go. Just don't expect any smiles from Thomas until it's done.
"There's a certain nastiness we try to play with on game day," Gardner said, "and it starts with Chase."

Rocky Mountain Missive
Sorry to have missed Friday's Mack Attack, but I'm out of town until April, so regular postings will resume then.
In the meantime, while I'm out in Colorado, the Denver Post is my local source for all things arts related. Yesterday's paper featured this interview with American theater's very own canary, Mike Daisey, whose warning of theater's dependence on the newspaper industry and subsequently, the dangers it faces without the support (or existence) of that industry, comes from the mouth of a very dark coal mine.
Proving how right he is, after reading that interview, I'm now considering making the three-hour drive from my base camp up in the mountains to go see his show "Monopoly" down in Colorado Springs next week. And on the strength of Denver Post critic John Moore's review of Reyna Von Vett's family-friendly burlesque revue (no, that's not a typo) "Leadville or Bust", I might also hike the family two hours down to Denver for the evening. Yes, I'm a pretty motivated theatergoer, but even forgetting my professional interest in the topic, there's just no substitute for being in a new town, picking up the paper and reading a local, respected critic's perspective on the area's performance scene. It generates excitement, offers a sense of legitimacy, corrals all the information into one consistent, reliable, quality spot, and of course, inspires ticket sales.
It's pretty rare for an artist to openly express appreciation for the spot on the creative food chain occupied by arts critics. However, as we become even more of an endangered species, I suspect Mr. Daisey may find himself among a growing number of like-minded conservationists, and hopefully, they will emerge before we have reached extinction.

The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF), which is a founding member of the AWC, has made fixing the broken immigration system one of its highest priorities over the past decade. NMPF's President & CEO Jerry Kozak told press conference attendees that "what we're working with lawmakers to do is not merely fixing a broken system, but scrapping an old set of unworkable rules and replacing it with something better." "The approach in this agreement is better for employers, better for employees, better for law enforcement, better for the economy – better for America," Kozak added. Kozak identified four key items essential to dairy farmers that any eventual deal on immigration reform must contain. These include: 1. Establishing a blue card for experienced agricultural workers. This provides a means for farmers to keep their existing workforce, including those who may not be legally documented. Dairy farmers should not lose experienced, loyal employees as part of this effort. 2. Creating a new visa system for future workers that is easy to use and affordable. Current efforts won't be worth it if the resulting product is too cumbersome, costly, and confusing for farmers to use. 3. Assuring the future flow of new workers so that as the economy and jobs shift and evolve. Dairy farmers must have a means to recruit and hire new dairy workers for a long period of time. 4. Eliminating the seasonality element of any ag visa program such as H2A, which prevented U.S. dairy farmers from using it. Dairy farmers need relief from having to demonstrate the seasonal or temporary nature of employment. Kozak stressed that although much of the work on comprehensive immigration reform has been done, there is still more to do. Negotiations will continue as members of the Senate debate the legislation, and the discussion also begins in the House of Representatives.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
In his much-anticipated address before the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for a new world order that does not operate in service to "the devil," which he rather clearly identified as the "Zionist entity."
After complaining about escalating Western sanctions against Iran over its defiant nuclear program, Ahmadinejad insisted that "there is no doubt that the world is in need of a new order...a just and fair order."
Ahmadinejad said that all the current and past troubles in the world are "due mainly to wrong management...[by] the self-proclaimed centers of power who have entrusted themselves to the devil."
He went on to state that the "continued threat by the uncivilized Zionists to resort to military action against our great nation is a clear example of this bitter reality."
Earlier in the week, Ahmadinejad told reporters at the UN that Israel has no roots in the Middle East and will soon be "eliminated."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was scheduled to himself address the UN General Assembly on Thursday, promised a firm response to the Iranian leader.
Netanyahu departed Israel for New York just hours after the close of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar. Before leaving, the prime minister published a letter to the people of Israel, reading:
On the day that we pray to be inscribed in the Book of Life, the podium was given to the dictatorial regime in Iran that takes every opportunity to sentence us to death.
On the eve of Yom Kippur, a day that the Jewish people holds sacred, the Iranian dictator chose to call for our disappearance in public, with the entire world watching. This is a black day for those who chose to remain in the hall and hear these hateful words. In my speech before the representatives of nations at the UN General Assembly, they will hear our response.
As the prime minister of Israel, the state of the Jewish people, I am acting in every possible way so that Iran does not obtain nuclear weapons. History proves that whoever wanted to erase us from the map – failed in his mission, while the Jewish nation overcame all obstacles.
Meanwhile, a pre-Yom Kippur survey carried out by Israeli polling company Dialogue showed that 56 percent of Israelis believe there is a moderate-to-high chance of war with Iran in the coming year. Fifty percent of respondents fear for Israel's survival in the event of war.
