"A golfer's paradise." That's what Hilton Head Island is often called, with its 24 championship courses and beautiful year round weather. But stay a week in one of its breezy beach rentals or condo rentals and you'll quickly realize there's more to this Southern oasis than golf. Only 12 miles by five miles wide, Hilton Head's sparkling sandy shoreline is considered one of the best family beaches in the United States. Beach rentals provide amazing water activities and outdoor recreation for families and friends of all ages. Gorgeous condo rentals inland offer a plethora of land pursuits for the energetic and sporty vacationer.
Spacious vacation rentals – from beachfront villas and traditional country homes to airy summer chateaus – make Hilton Head Island the ideal family getaway. With mini golf at Pirate's Island and Adventure Cove, the grown-ups aren't the only ones hitting the links. Condo rentals on the south end of Hilton Head are minutes from The Sandbox, An Interactive Children's Museum, offering educational play between kids and parents, like the Rhythm and Hues painting exhibit. Give the little ones a break from the sun at the indoor Island Playground, complete with inflatable slides, obstacle courses and a toddler exploration area.
The Arts Center of Coastal Carolina holds performing arts camps, theater classes, workshops and musical festivals. Beach rentals near The Coastal Discovery Museum offer indoor and outdoor wildlife exhibits with alligators, manatees and a native butterfly habitat.
Vacation rentals on Hilton Head Island also offer incredible attractions for adults and older children. Venture inland for miles of paved bike paths leading down gorgeous scenic trails. Fly along ziplines over magnificent live oaks and gaze at the boats, bogs and bottlenose dolphins residing in Broad Creek Marina. The wildlife outside your condo rental is vast and exquisite. Take a Hilton Head forest hayride to see bobcats, minks, deer, otters and eclectic species of birds, or hit the petting zoo and horseback tours at Lawton Stables.
All vacationers must see the Harbour Town Lighthouse, Hilton Head Island's most beloved and well-known landmark. Visible from your panoramic beach rental, the lighthouse is accompanied by a museum teaching the history and tradition of this wonderful beacon.
Aside from the attractions, the outdoor recreational activities on Hilton Head Island are a plenty. Biking, hiking, sailing, boating, fishing, kayaking, jet-skis, parasailing and surfing are all at your fingertips in a Hilton Head beach vacation rental. Swim with dolphins and sea turtles for an up close look at the island's aquatic life.

Sharon Osbourne has branded Lady Gaga an "attention seeking hypocrite". The TV personality has responded to Gaga's claims that E! show Fashion Police, which Kelly co-hosts, "breeds negativity", and has accused the Born This Way singer of being a "bully". The drama stems from Kelly's comments last October when she said, "Lady Gaga's fans are the worst" and accused them of encouraging her to commit suicide, she also claimed the pop superstar had a duty to step in and stop their comments.
In response, Gaga penned a lengthy open letter on her fan-based social networking site, LittleMonsters.com, addressed to the Fashion Police star, noting that while she felt empathetic towards Kelly and discourages her fans "from any negativity and violence", she feels the E! show, which also features Joan Rivers, promotes bullying. The Edge of Glory hit maker wrote, "I have empathy for you Kelly, but I feel it culturally important to note that you have chosen a less compassionate path. Your work on E! with the Fashion Police is rooted in criticism, judgement and rating people's beauty against one another. 'Appearance' is the most used reason for bullying in the world… Your show breeds negativity, and over the years has even become comedic in nature. It glorifies you and Joan Rivers pointing in the camera, laughing, and making jokes about artists and celebrities as if we are zoo animals."
The letter prompted Kelly's mother Sharon to respond via her Facebook page, and revealed she had wrote to Gaga's manager to ask her fans to stop "writing libellous, slanderous and vile comments about my family". She wrote, "I don't feel I have to justify Kelly's choices in life to you. By your actions to Kelly right now, you have shown me that you are nothing more than a publicly (sic) seeking hypocrite and an attention seeker. You know it would have been much more dignified of you to do this privately. I am calling you a bully because you have 32 million followers hanging on your every word and you are criticising Kelly in your open letter. Are you so desperate that you needed to make this public?" Sharon added that "a word from" Gaga "would stop all the hideous, negative and vile threats from your 'little monsters'", and stated she was open to continuing the debate should Gaga choose to.

The Alamance-Burlington School System recently announced that high school seniors will no longer be required to complete a capstone graduation project in order to graduate. Instead, the project has evolved into a voluntary endeavor that students may pursue in exchange for a special seal on their diplomas. As someone who completed a graduation project shortly after its inception and has served as a judge for the past several years, I am discouraged by this change.
In our current educational climate, our students dedicate their school careers to preparation for useless multiple-choice assessments. The graduation project filled an important void as it challenged students to: Research, write a formal paper, complete a relevant product to reinforce learning, prepare a professional portfolio, and execute a formal presentation. In other words, they were forced to think analytically about a topic while harnessing skills that are critical in college and jobs that pay a decent wage. Completing this project contributed more to my success in college than other high school assignment I can think of. Every project I completed in college required the utilization of least two or three of the previously mentioned skills.
For our students, the graduation project poses the first time they encounter an academic task of such an extraordinary magnitude. It has been my observation that some students excel at this task while many more flop. It is my suspicion that this fact largely inspired the downgrade of the project from mandatory to voluntary. Rather than abandoning the project because it is demanding and poses a challenge, we should explore the shortfalls in the academic preparation prior to the senior year instead. We should be searching for more opportunities to challenge and assess our students in this way.
I am also concerned that the article regarding the elimination of the requirement at the local level does not mention school board involvement. The school board should have been involved as its members were the ones who voted to maintain the project as a local requirement after the state discontinued it.

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), sometimes referred to as "mad cow disease", is a chronic degenerative disease affecting the central nervous system of cattle. A system of interlocking safeguards protects human and animal health, as well as food safety, in the United States.
Animal Diseases
Through applied research and developing technology, USDA helps to reduce economic losses of the livestock and poultry industries and the associated rural agricultural community from infectious, genetic, and metabolic diseases. This new technology also is aimed at prevention of suffering and death caused by diseases in agriculturally important livestock and poultry.
Animal Well-Being and Stress Management
Consumers are concerned not only with characteristics such as the nutritive content of animal products, but also want assurances that food animals are raised in humane conditions and receive humane treatment during handling and slaughter. USDA tracks animal health and welfare issues as they relate to food safety and the production and availability of animals for processing into meat.
Veterinary Biologics
The Center for Veterinary Biologics regulates veterinary biologics, such as vaccines, bacterins, antisera, diagnostic kits, and other products of biological origin to ensure its safety and effectiveness.

Lyndsay Cole (970) 494-7410
WASHINGTON, June 28, 2011--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has prepared a plant pest risk assessment and a draft environmental assessment (EA) to address a request from Bayer CropScience seeking a determination of nonregulated status. The request is for cotton that has been genetically engineered (GE) to be tolerant to the herbicide glufosinate and resistant to several lepidopteran pests.
Bayer's GE cotton is a combined-trait cotton developed using conventional breeding techniques. By crossing Bayer's Cry1Ab Cotton (event T304-40) with Bayer's Cry2Ae Cotton (event GHB119), Bayer developed a cotton resistant to several lepidopteran pests and that expresses a glufosinate herbicide tolerance trait. Bayer's cotton is currently regulated by APHIS. Interstate movement, importation and field testing has been conducted under notifications acknowledged by APHIS.
APHIS' risk assessment indicates that Bayer's cotton is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk. APHIS is making available for public comment the Bayer petition, the agency's risk assessment and draft EA for the proposed determination of nonregulated status.
APHIS has prepared this draft EA to consider the potential environmental effects of a determination of nonregulated status consistent with Council on Environmental Quality's regulations implementing National Environmental Policy Act regulations and procedures.
The notice of availability of the risk assessment, draft EA and the petition is published in today's June 28 Federal Register.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before Aug. 29. You may submit comments by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to
www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2010-0102 to submit or view comments and to view supporting and related materials available electronically.

Regional Cooperation for Water Quality Improvement in Southwestern Pennsylvania (January 2005)Report in Brief
The city of Pittsburgh and surrounding area of southwestern Pennsylvania face complex water quality problems, due in large part to aging wastewater infrastructures that cannot handle sewer overflows and stormwater runoff, especially during wet weather. Other problems such as acid mine drainage are a legacy of the region's past coal mining, heavy industry, and manufacturing economy. Currently, water planning and management in southwestern Pennsylvania is highly fragmented; federal and state governments, 11 counties, hundreds of municipalities, and other entities all play roles, but with little coordination or cooperation. The report finds that a comprehensive, watershed-based approach is needed to effectively meet water quality standards throughout the region in the most cost-effective manner. The report outlines both technical and institutional alternatives to consider in the development and implementation of such an approach.

Hilary Swank and French Beau Laurent Fleury Heating Up
Comments Off
(LOS ANGELES) -- Hilary Swank debuted her new man last month, and it looks as if the two are getting more serious.
The 38-year-old actress stepped out with her uber-sexy French beau, real estate broker Laurent Fleury, last Saturday in Los Angeles. They were dressed casually and held hands on their way to a friend's party.
The couple was spotted last month smiling and walking a dog in Venice Beach, Calif.
Fleury, a father of two, resides mostly in Paris, where he reportedly shares an apartment with Swank.
Swank split from John Campisi, her boyfriend of five years, last summer. The actress was previously married to Pretty Little Liars actor Chad Lowe for 10 years before they split in 2007.

Junior: We love what we do! We have been dancing salsa for 12 years together. Emily started when she was 10 years old and I started when I was 14 years old. It's an incredible feeling to do what you love and to do with your sister. To be able to travel and share amazing and unforgettable moments with family.
Latinaish: You guys dance salsa but do you like other types of dance as well?
Junior: We love all types of music and dance. Our specialty is salsa but we also do other types of social dances.
Latinaish: What are your favorite songs to dance to right now?
Junior: We love to dance to everything! As of right now we have been very into doing music by Rodrigo y Gabriela.
Latinaish: You guys are siblings and you have a lot of chemistry when you dance together, but siblings have a tendency to argue and annoy each other. What does your brother/sister do that annoys you more than anything?
Junior: We have learned to work together. We have learned to separate the personal and the professional. We have been dancing for 12 years together so like everything else, it's a learning process. The thing that we try and focus on most is pushing each other past our comfort zone and constantly pushing limits. We always have to keep each other positive and motivated when things get really tough because for us it's a never-ending process to create new limits and continue to innovate.
Latinaish: Your biography says that you're from San Francisco, California – but I also heard you're Salvadoran. My husband is from Soyapango, so I'm curious – who in your family is from El Salvador? Your father? Mother? (From what part?)
Junior: That's exciting to hear that your husband is Salvadorean as well! We were both born and raised in San Francisco, California, but we currently live in Los Angeles, California. We are both half Salvadorean and half Korean. Our father is from Santa Ana, El Salvador and our mother is from Seoul, Korea.
Latinaish: Have you visited El Salvador?
Junior: We have been invited to perform in El Salvador before, but unfortunately we have never been able to go because of schedule conflicts. We would definitely love to visit someday!
Latinaish: In the Q'Viva competition, you guys represent the United States, but do you also feel like you represent El Salvador?
Junior: Yes, we were representing the USA, but we definitely felt that we represented El Salvador as well. Our parents divorced when we were really young and we were raised by our father. We were brought up knowing only our Salvadorean side of the family. It was such an honor to represent both countries.
Latinaish: What else can you tell us about your part on the show Q'Viva?
Junior: Q'Viva was an amazing and unforgettable experience for us. It was so incredible to see such amazing talent from all over the world and for us to be a part of that was an honor. We definitely were extremely excited and nervous at the same time performing for Marc, Jennifer, and Jamie. It will be a moment that we will never forget!

Day 3 – That's a Wrap – Cisco Interop 2012
This was an action packed trip – I love how a final day is never quite as busy and everyone is so much more relaxed.
Three good stories worth covering, the first two on security!
BYOD Security with Bill McGee
Get more info on the Cisco Security BYOD components, one of which I (humbly) recommend is our 'Fundamentals of ISE' (The Cisco Identity Services Engine)
Our second story in security is easily one of my favorites and not just because it involves a lot of friend from Austin. Cisco's Security Intelligence Operations…
Security Intelligence Operations
More information: cisco.com/go/sio
Jamey Heary did a great write up in his Network World Blog back in 2009 but just this past September Ann Bednarz did a feature level deep dive called 'Inside Cisco Global Security Operations' which I would consider required reading. What makes this even better is Jeff Shipley's follow up that takes us deeper on a few stories for how this article came together in his blog: The Inside on the Inside Cisco SIO Network World Article. He highlights the great point that I failed to make on camera: "Automated tools handle vast majority of security threats, but it's the human element that makes the difference."
Also worth checking out here: Who are these Security Intelligence Engineers? and don't hesitate to the get the SIO App for your iPhone.
Cisco Prime
We dove into a couple of different specifics around Cisco Prime and the incredible improvements made to Cisco's ongoing success story in network management with this Interview being more of a good overview. You can see the all-important 'six attributes' reflected in every member of the family:
- Optimized Operations Experience

Well, as they say 'That's a wrap.' They really do say that…thank you for all we got to chat and tip a few back with.
As a recap: the first couple of days were the busiest:
We covered four different topics on Network Management: Prime Assurance with Jim Frey of Enterprise Management Associates, the new NetFlow Generation Appliance 3140, BYOD and Cisco Prime and of course an overview of the Prime Family and what it represents. Other great topics included the Nexus 1000v and Virtual Services, UPOE and Energywise, Cloud Readiness with Citrix-ready WAAS and how Cisco routing infrastructure technologies like Application Visibility and Control and UCS Express for application hosting. This all based on the cloud survey results which Prashanth shared with us. These are all summarized within the day 1 and day 2 blog entries with more details.
See you guys in San Diego!

Photo Challenge: Hamburgers
Andy Warhol painted soup cans. Roy Lichtenstein mimicked comic books. Now it's your chance to turn a pop icon into art! For this photo challenge, we want your photos of hamburgers. Fear not, vegetarians! We want to see them all, garden, turkey, bison - if
it's a burger, it's fair game. Be sure to include where we can find your tasty subjects.
Our friends from Hamburger Eyes will be helping us out with this challenge. While they have little to do with the fine art of hamburger shots, Hamburger Eyes is a fantastic magazine highlighting avant garde, cutting edge photography, with a focus on black and white and street photos. In fact, they have a very exciting exhibition opening September 11 in San Francisco, The Young Jerks.
This challenge was open for one week and closed on September 10th, 2008. Visit the Hamburgers download page to see the selections from this photo challenge!

In the spirit of the summer games, I plan to compete in the following events:
1. Go Back and Cite Your Sources!–Surely I can go for the gold in this one.
2. Back Up Your Data!–I have already done C, do I have to go back and do A & B to get the gold medal?
3. Organize Your Research!–I've already been working on this. If I can't reach diamond level I'm going to be disappointed.
4. Write, Write, Write!–I'm not sure how far I can go in this one if I get the others done, but I'll try at least get a silver medal.
5. Reach Out & Perform Genealogical Acts of Kindness!–I do this on an ongoing basis whenever I can so I won't formally compete in this category. I'll just keep on doing what I've been doing.

Then continue to place your order by choosing items from our online shop. When you have finished ordering and go through to the checkout, you will be guided through the process and prompted to give us all the information we need to process your order efficiently. You will be given the shipping cost before you finalise your order if it is available, and before you have to give your payment details.

Please choose to pay by telephone or fax if this is the case. If anything is out of stock, please remove it from your order to continue.
We have a lead time of up to 10 working days for all orders containing bulk sizes (100ml, 500ml, Litres & KG's), so please allow plenty of time when ordering bulk sizes.
You may have to pay import duty on goods you purchase from us. Please check with your local Customs office.
EEC customers who at the time of ordering that provide us with a valid VAT/EEC Trade number will not be liable to pay UK VAT. If a VAT number is not provided with your order then VAT will be charged. All other customers outside of the EEC do not pay UK VAT.
Transit times can vary, usually from 2 to 5 working days under most circumstances by courier, maybe longer if by freight forwarder. Customs occasionally carry out random security checks which can sometimes cause a delay of a day or so for clearance. Please allow plenty of time for orders that are needed by a specific date.
UK Delivery is free of charge for orders over 100.00GBP - We are more than happy to post your order to a friend or family member in the UK. We will need a full name, address and telephone number of the recipient. A person at that address will need to be home to receive and sign for the goods. We have to charge UK VAT for all orders delivered within the UK, but the postage is free to most UK addresses for orders over 100.00GBP. Unfortunately we do not offer a VAT reclamation service.

Some of our products are Considered Dangerous Goods for Transport, because some products are flammable or are environmentally hazardous in larger amounts. Regulation dictates that we cannot ship these items to some countries. All of the Dangerous Goods on the website are clearly marked with a red diamond symbol on the product page. This includes the majority of essential oils and fragrances.
Orders containing bulk sizes (anything over 30ml per bottle) of Dangerous Goods have to be accompanied by special documentation and need to be packed to specific Air Transport Association requirements and therefore they levy a standard static Dangerous Goods Surcharge of £45.00GBP on top of the shipping cost. This charge is from the shipping company not Amphora. Shipping 10ml bottles does not have a Dangerous Goods Surcharge.
Here is the list of countries we can currently send Dangerous Goods to:
If your country is not in this list, please enquire. Our freight forwarder may have another option. We will not be able to send dangerous goods with your own freight forwarder. We use our own preferred freight forwarder for all dangerous goods freight. Please be aware that a freight forwarder is mainly for larger shipments (pallets) and can be very expensive for smaller orders. Please enquire.
Export Office Hours 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday. All orders placed online over the weekend or public holidays will be processed the next working day.
If you have any further questions please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Those are the words I shouted this morning as the hustle and bustle started. Then I remembered that in everything I do, even in being a mother, I have to do it in love.
"And now these three remain; faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13
If I live in a house of spotless beauty with everything in its place,
but have not love, I am a housekeeper, not a homemaker.
If I have time for waxing, polishing, and decorative achievements,
but have not love, my children learn cleanliness, not godliness.
If I scream at my children for every infraction,
and fault them for every mess they make,
but have not love, my children become people-pleasers, not obedient children.
Love leaves the dust in search of a child's laugh.
Love smiles at the tiny fingerprints on a newly cleaned window.
Love wipes away the tears before it wipes up the spilled milk.
Love picks up the child before it picks up the toys.
Love accepts the fact that I am the ever-present "mommy",
the taxi-driver to every childhood event,
the counselor when my children fail or are hurt.
Love crawls with the baby, walks with the toddler, and runs with the child,
then stands aside to let the youth walk into adulthood.
Before I became a mother I took glory in my house of perfection.
Now I glory in God's perfection of my children.
All the projections I had for my house and my children have faded away into insignificance,
And what remain are the memories of my kids.
Now there abides in my home scratches on most of the furniture,
dishes with missing place settings, and bedroom walls full of stickers,
posters and markings,
But the greatest of all is the Love
that permeates my relationships with my children.

A corruption probe in the South Bay tripled in size Monday, as 15 people faced 232 felony and misdemeanor counts in the scandal involving construction contracts at three South Bay school districts.
The defendants appeared in response to indictments issued in secret last month by a criminal grand jury that interviewed more than 60 witnesses and reviewed 1,400 pages of documents.
District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis is building a case that officials accepted meals, sporting events, plays, campaign contributions and other considerations in exchange for multimillion dollar school bond construction contracts.
Prosecutors had charged four officials last year, all with ties to Sweetwater Union High School District — former Superintendent Jesus Gandara, school board members Pearl Quiñones and Arlie Ricasa and former board member Greg Sandoval. They have pleaded not guilty.
Now, the case has expanded to include more officials at Sweetwater and others at two other school districts — the San Ysidro School District and Southwestern Community College District.
Four of the five sitting board members at Sweetwater — Ricasa, Quiñones, Bertha Lopez and Jim Cartmill — now stand accused. So does the current superintendent and a board member at San Ysidro — Manuel Paul and Yolanda Hernandez.
Also, five departed officials at Southwestern face indictments — former Superintendent Raj Chopra; former vice president Nick Alioto; former board members Jorge Dominguez and Yolanda Salcido; and former administrator John Wilson.
"We go where the evidence takes us," District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis said in a prepared statement. "And in this case it took us to a much larger, more tangled web of corruption than we originally uncovered."
Attorneys for the defendants said after the court hearing that they plan to prove their client's innocence.
"Pearl could have cut in line and done what others have done and got out of line by pleading to misdemeanors," Quiñones' attorney, Marc Carlos, said. "But she is standing by her principles because she believes she didn't do anything wrong."
Paul Pfingst, who represents Gandara, echoed Carlos' statements.
"These charges are extremely disturbing to him," Pfingst said of Gandara.
Investigators began reviewing relationships between contractors and school officials in the South Bay after a series of stories by The Watchdog in 2010 and 2011.
At Southwestern, the stories highlighted such events as a Napa Valley getaway at which contractors paid for a chance to rub shoulders with school administrators — and went on to win contracts. At Sweetwater, coverage focused on a bridal shower Gandara held for his daughter, inviting contractors and vendors to give to a "money tree" in her honor.
Two contractors are also among those facing new charges: Gary Cabello, a bond issuance agent for both Sweetwater and Southwestern and Jeffrey Flores, president of Seville Construction Services.
Three other people with connections to the scandal are cooperating with authorities: Henry Amigable, who worked for Seville, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor in May and is working with county prosecutors; Jaime Ortiz, an executive with Pasadena-based SGI Construction who managed Sweetwater's $644 million bond program; and Rene Flores, president of SGI.
The 59-page indictment details how contractors showered key elected and appointed officials with tickets to Chargers football games and took them to high-end restaurants, plays and the like. According to court documents:
• Cabello on June 27, 2008, took Sandoval to a Padres baseball game and dinner at Donovan's Steakhouse, which cost $860.
• On Oct. 30, 2008, Cabello also took an unknown number of Southwestern representatives to Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar for $1,111.
• On June 16, 2007, Amigable spent $985 on a dinner for Quiñones and her friend at Baci restaurant.
• On March 14, 2008, Amigable bought Ricasa and Sandoval dinner at Island Prime Restaurant for $1,011.
• In November 2007, Amigable and Ortiz took Quiñones, Sandoval and their friends and family to the musical "Jersey Boys."
• Cabello on Sept. 30, 2009 and another person bought a $708 dinner at Churrascaria restaurant for Alioto, Wilson, Salcido and Chopra.
• On Jan. 16, 2010, Ortiz bought Chargers tickets for Sandoval, valued at $688, but Sandoval, according to court documents, was not pleased with the quality of the seats.
The counts added Monday include extortion charges against several officials, not part of the initial round of charges in Sweetwater. According to the indictment, elected officials accepted gifts with the understanding they would award the contractors lucrative contracts.
"As such, (the defendants) created a "pay-for-play" environment," the indictment reads.
Cabello's former firm, Alta Vista Financial, received underwriting services contracts with Sweetwater during the time Cabello was showering officials with gifts. Jeffrey Flores, the president of Seville Construction Services, won a $2.7 million Proposition R contract with Southwestern College in November 2009 after a series of dinner and drink outings with officials.
Elected officials failed to report these gifts on state-mandated statements of economic interest, prosecutors allege.
The 16-member grand jury was empaneled from Nov. 7 to Dec. 21. All told, prosecutors said, they have compiled more than 57,000 pages of documents.
Supporters and opponents of the accused officials packed Judge Timothy Walsh's courtroom Monday afternoon.
The defendants were scheduled to be arraigned on the charges. All but one of them delayed entering a plea until Jan. 30 to give their attorneys more time to comb through the indictment, which they said they had received earlier in the day.
Cabello pleaded not guilty to five counts, including bribery and conspiracy.
Pfingst said the attorneys are considering splitting the case into two, one dealing with the Sweetwater and San Ysidro school districts and the other dealing with Southwestern College.
"We have to see what happens after we have gotten a chance to sift through the documents," Pfingst said.
Three of the defendants — Alioto, Chopra and Hernandez — did not appear in court today for various reasons. They are also scheduled to appear on Jan. 30.

Organic Farms
Organic farming offers many benefits to pollinators, but some common organic-approved pesticides and practices can be potentially just as harmful to bees and other pollinators as conventional farming systems. For example, in the absence of readily available herbicides, some organic farms depend more heavily on tillage as a primary weed control strategy. This greater soil disturbance may be detrimental to ground-nesting bees. By understanding native bee biology, nesting habits, and the toxicity of various organic-approved pesticides, farmers can effectively balance their crop management strategies with the needs of their resident pollinators.

Fire engulfs empty 40-story high-rise in Chechnya
No one injured as tower burns. Tax-dodging French actor Gerard Depardieu owns apartment in building next door.
Fire Wednesday evening engulfed an unoccupied 40-story luxury high-rise in the capital of Chechnya, according to news reports from the southern Russian republic. No one was hurt.
Although flames enveloped the outside of the 475-foot tower — the tallest Russian dwelling outside Moscow — Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov said the interior was not seriously damaged, RIA Novosti reported.
About 30 people were evacuated from the "Olympus" tower, one of seven residential skyscrapers in the Grozny City complex. Initial reports indicated that an electrical short-circuit may have ignited insulation around the fourth or fifth floors about 6 p.m. local time.
Flames and black smoke spread rapidly up three sides of the building because of its plastic trim, the RT television network reported.
The tower features the world's largest round clock, which continued working for more than two hours after the blaze began, RIA Novosti noted.
Kadyrov famously gave actor Gerard Depardieu a five-room apartment in a neighboring 30-story tower after President Vladimir Putin gave the French tax exile Russian citizenship. The exterior of his unit suffered some smoke and fire damage, a police source told the LifeNews tabloid.
The complex also includes another 30-story condominium tower, two 18-story residential buildings, a 30-story, five-star hotel and a 30-story office tower.
Grozny was obliterated during two separatist wars against Russia in the 1990s after the collapse of the Soviet Union.
"We will restore this building with God's help and use the most state-of-the art technologies to make it even better and more beautiful," Kadyrov said on his Instragram page, RIA Novosti said.

Tend to your ticker so you don't miss a beat
1. Know your numbers. For a healthy heart, your blood pressure should be less than 120/80 mmHg, total cholesterol under 200 mg/dl and body-mass index below 25. (Measure yours now.)
2. Sweat outside. When it's chilly, your body expends more energy—and burns more calories—to retain heat. Too dang frigid? Dance indoors: Thirty minutes can torch 200 calories.
3. Eat seasonal. Winter veggies such as butternut squash and sweet potatoes are high in fiber, which keeps arteries healthy by lowering blood sugar and LDL ("bad") cholesterol.
Sip smart
Toast to St. Paddy's Day, but beware of overimbibing: A little alcohol can be a heart-health boon; too much, a bust. Keep it to one a day like this festive drink from Jennifer Iserloh of SkinnyChef.com.

Go natural
On your body The purity of skin-care products matters: Your body will absorb any toxins they contain. Look for a USDA Organic label, and opt for sunscreens that include a natural UVA/UVB blocker such as zinc oxide.
In the air A study from the Natural Resources Defense Council found hormone-disrupting chemicals (phthalates) in many common air fresheners. Stuffy? Pop open the window and turn on a fan.
On countertops Many chemicals in household cleaners are not tested for effects on health and environment. Try Seventh Generation Disinfecting Multi-Surface Cleaner, which uses a naturally derived disinfectant.
Silence spring sneezes
Morning Most plants release their pollen around dawn, so you may want to hold your A.M. exercise session indoors.
Afternoon Feel sinus pressure building? Use an OTC allergy pill containing loratadine (such as Claritin), which won't make you drowsy.
Evening Leave jackets and your shoes by the front door to avoid tracking pollen through your house.
Night Sleep with windows closed (and the AC on, if needed) to shut out allergens.
Avoid top summer bummers
Sunburns Repeated burns damage skin's DNA, increasing your risk for skin cancer. Apply SPF 30 sunscreen every two hours—even when it's cloudy.
Foot injuries Flip-flops are a warm-weather staple, but they offer little protection or support. Save them for the sand and wear sturdier soles on streets.
Heat exhaustion Stay cool in light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, which doesn't trap hot air next to your body. And avoid alcohol (a notorious dehydrator) from noon to 4 P.M., when temps soar.
Rip currents Swim at least 100 feet away from jetties and piers, where permanent rip currents often exist. And stick to lifeguard-protected beaches.
Turn up the heat
Don't let these common mood wreckers spoil your steamy summer romance!
Your Rx Some birth control pills and other prescription drugs can mess with hormones, putting the brakes on your sex drive. Talk to your doc: Swapping your meds may help bring back the love.
Body hang-ups Obsessing over your looks only dampens your desire to show them off. Make a good-for-you tweak each day (for instance, carve out time for a nutritious breakfast or sign up for a 5K walk or run), says Mary Jo Rapini, a sex therapist in Houston. "Healthy changes bring confidence, making you feel more sexual."
Singlehood Give yourself a hand. "Engaging in regular self-pleasure will make your body crave sex more," Rapini says. (Hey, all you gals in a monogamous relationship—the same goes for you!)
Stay healthy on vacation
Forgo fast food. Produce and whole grains provide nutrients for a strong immune system. Find recipes now.
Update your vaccinations. Some are required months in advance; get stuck early.
Plan ahead. Traveling often disrupts exercise and diet routines, which can make you more prone to diarrhea or constipation, says Kathryn Teng, M.D., an internist at the Cleveland Clinic. Pack some antidiarrheal meds and laxatives to be safe.
Build in buffer days. "A day of rest pre- and post-trip helps the body reset, so you feel refreshed when you return to work," Dr. Teng says. And isn't that the whole point?
Change your mind
Good news: Video games aren't just a fun escape. "Emerging evidence shows these activities can help us learn better," says Eric Klopfer, associate professor of science education at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. Flex your mental muscles this back-to-school season with Brain Exercise Lite With Dr. Kawashima (free at the iPhone app store) or Lumosity games (Lumosity.com).
Outsmart cold and flu
"The places we don't instantly think of as germy can harbor the most bugs," says Philip Tierno, Ph.D., author of The Secret Life of Germs (Atria Books). Scan his list of overlooked hot spots; if you make contact, wash up with soap for 20 seconds before touching your face.
- ATM machines
- Escalator handrails
- The office microwave
- The ballpoint pen at the bank
- Elevator buttons
Sidestep sneaky weight saboteurs
Temptation The almost-empty bowl of cookie batter
Distraction Fill it with water or douse it with salt. "Tasting five times can add up to 200 calories," says Christine Gerbstadt, R.D., of Sarasota, Florida.
Temptation Hors d'oeuvre trays on parade
Distraction Strike up a convo with a cute guy. You won't stuff your face if you're flirting.
Temptation Baked goods at the office
Distraction Find a new route around the sugar bounty. "Your coworkers share what they don't want to wear on their hips!" Gerbstadt says.
Say no to 'tis-the-season guilt trips
They say, "We need your donation." You say, "I'm unable to contribute now, but I'd like some info on your organization." It's easier to say no if you show you care, suggests Bob McPherson, Ph.D., director of counseling psychology at the University of Houston.
They say, "You're supposed to spend the holiday at our house." You say, "We'd like to make memories in our home and hope you'll join us." It reassures them it's not personal, McPherson says.
They say, "You have to work late." You say, "I can't tonight, but I'll come in early to make sure it gets done." As long as you finish tasks on time, when you do them should be negotiable. Then ring in another new year as a healthier, less-stressed you!

Walerian Borowczyk is known almost exclusively now as an erotic filmmaker with an art house pedigree and a fantastic imagination -- I don't recommend the pornographic monster movie La bête but it does has its own kind of squeamish merit. I haven't seen his other strictly erotic films but I remember seeing a couple of his imaginative animated short subjects in High School - they were as interesting as those by Jirí Trnka. But he did make one amazingly good later feature about a desperate love with horrible consequences, sort of a cross between Tess of the D'Urbervilles and Pabst's Pandora's Box called A Story of A Sin, or A Story of Sin. It just knocked me out, and I wish it would come to DVD in a quality edition.
Goto, l'île d'amour is Walerian Borowczyk's first feature, a quizzical totalitarian satire released in 1969 and in some ways reminiscent of his animated work.
Goto, l'île d'amour is organized very much like one of Walerian Borowczyk's famous animated films. Camera movement is infrequent and rooms tend to be observed like diorama shadow boxes. Movement is mostly left and right in a visually flat frame. Long lenses predominate. Four or five times, the B&W movie is interrupted by color inserts. In each case they're flashes of buckets of bloody meat or the like, unpleasant and odd details. One last cut is a longer blurry shot that's just as vague and mysterious.
The story is easy to follow but the characters are difficult to relate to. The pompous but placid Goto III (Pierre Brasseur of Eyes Without a Face) is a selfish man born into his privileges. Grozo starts off as a sniveling coward, convicted of an unknown crime; he turns out to be a rather diabolical schemer and usurper, and not a likeable one. The groom Gono hasn't much personality. That leaves the trapped Glyssia, played by Ligia Branice, who had the key role in Chris Marker's unique La Jetee, the science fiction time-travel film executed mostly in stills. Glyssia is fond of Goto III, impassioned by Gono and sympathetic of Grozo's plight. She ends up suffering the most of all. Of the smaller parts, Ginette Leclerc has a few tangential moments as a prostitute.
Besides the clear anti-dictatorship message, there isn't a great deal to be gleaned from the story, which has interesting details but seems to be mostly a filmmaker's experiment in a new form. Borowczyk has no trouble directing his actors, and all of them come off well even as their movements appear to be greatly restricted. The erotic details are limited to a few peepshow-like views of naked women in their bath and Glyssia and Gono's affair in the horse-barns. Borowczyk purposely keeps most emotions at arms' length.
The opening makes clever use of a lenticular portrait of all three Gotos, that hangs in front of a classroom. Boys on the left see an image of Goto I, those in the middle see Goto II and those on the right see Goto III. School instruction centers on memorizing the importance of these three exalted citizens. To vary the education, the teacher moves the boys
around the classroom, so they can get variety in their Goto worship.
Cult Epics' DVD of Walerian Borowczyk's Goto, l'île d'amour is a good, if greyish, enhanced transfer of a mostly spotless B&W element. The color inserts are slightly faded and look mostly red. The audio track, which uses generous helpings of music by Händel, is clear.
A long trailer helps us identify the leading players as well as tells us how to pronounce Borowczyk's name: It's BORO-CHECK. Now I can stop saying BORO-WIZZIK. As a special added attraction the disc contains one of Walerian Borowczyk best animated short subjects, the clever, dreamlike Les Austronautes from 1959. The 12 minute film stays rather abstract but has elements in common with This Island Earth: The cut-out paper spaceship encounters two outer space rockets fighting and blows up one that looks like the aggressor. But the smaller of the ships, a red cone, destroys our craft and it falls back to Earth.
Rayo Casablanca provides a filmography and a short Borowczyk essay on a liner insert illustrated with sensual Italian ad artwork that grossly misrepresents the film. The movie is more like Eraserhead than Borowczyk's later Emmanuelle movies.
On a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor,
Goto, l'île d'amour rates:
Movie: Good
Video: Very Good
Sound: Very Good
Supplements: Borowczyk short subject Les Astronautes, trailer.
Packaging: Keep case

1-Did she cash out her 401(k) and go on an Eat, Pray, Love adventure to find herself and eventually 'the one'? Is she currently getting really good at meditation and yoga and gluttony and narcissism?
2-Did she get a new job that doesn't allow her to blog and express herself freely but it's ok because it's a job that actually puts her skills to use instead of the mind-numbing repetitive nature of her job at Steal Your Soul, Inc?
3-Did she get bit by a rabid raccoon and has been undergoing a series of very painful treatments to cure her "foaming mouth" disease?
4-Did she meet the man of her dreams and has been so busy "nesting" and planning her upcoming nuptials she hasn't had the time nor desire to write self-deprecating blog posts about drinking too much and making out with people?
5-Has she run out of new material mainly because too many people she knows "in real life" read this, thus making it next to impossible to write about what's "real" and "funny" and "zany" anymore?
Hint: The answer is 5! I'm right here y'all!
