Freshman California Assemblyman Jared Huffman has resurrected a failed bill of two years ago, AB 541, that is a colossally bad piece of legislation that would impact researchers, seed and biotech companies, and plant breeders, as well as farmers and consumers in general.
In 2005, Assemblyman John Laird introduced a similar measure aimed at holding makers of genetically engineered crops (GE) liable for damages. Fortunately, it died in the Assembly.
So, here we are, a couple of years down the road, and we are being forced to revisit the issue being pushed by the Democrat from San Rafael. The Laird legislation was bad then, and Huffman's version is equally bad now.
For now, the bill has been put on hold in the Assembly Agriculture Committee, but agriculture will have to revisit it again early next year.
In essence, the measure creates a series of obstacles to agricultural research and practices that employ gene-splicing technology — the most precise, predictable, and reliable techniques for the genetic improvement of plants.
Besides holding manufacturers developing GE crops liable for damage if their work becomes present in nearby fields, the legislation would ban open-field production of GE crops in the development of medications; would require growers to give county ag commissioners at least 30 days notice before engaging in open-field development of other GE plants; and would establish a GE crop registration process so that non-GE farmers can reduce the chance of crop "contamination."
Further, the language establishes "strict liability" on manufacturers of agricultural bio traits. Strict liability has always been reserved for inherently dangerous products — such as the making of explosives or the keeping of a boa constrictor as a pet. It has no place in agriculture.
Huffman says the reason this topic has been resurrected is directly linked to an incident last year in which an experimental form of rice showed up in grain elevators in Arkansas, Missouri, and Louisiana. The freshman lawmaker says AB 541 is necessary to protect California farmers against significant losses if their conventional or organic crops are ruined by GE plants, seeds or pollen.
Huffman fails to realize that current legal recourse is available and works for growers. This bill would impose liability on the manufacturer of a safe, legal, government-sanctioned product, based on activity that could only occur long after the product left the manufacturer's care and control.
Additionally, no U.S. grower has been sued because they were unknowingly growing crops containing biotech traits. Only the most egregious cases of patent infringement have resulted in lawsuits.
During the past decade, only 90 lawsuits have been pursued against farmers for patent infringement, in contrast to millions of farmers (in the U.S.) who have planted GE crops.
Regarding a crop registration process, there is no need to establish a burdensome bureaucratic registration process for a problem that doesn't exist. Talking to your neighbors about their planting intentions is the best way to reduce the chance of GE traits turning up in your crops.
And, it's well worth noting, that only three biotech crops — corn, cotton, and alfalfa — are grown on any significant acreage in California. Organic production for each of these is on a tiny amount of land, and the National Organic Standard does not ban trace amounts of biotech products in organic crops.
As to the obstacle AB 541 poses for the future development of medicines, no less a personage than Dr. Henry I. Miller, a physician and fellow at Stanford University's Hoover Institution and author of the popular book "The Frankenfood Myth," had this to say in a recent news article:
"The legislation prohibits 'the production of a pharmaceutical crop' in open fields in a plant species 'commonly produced for use as food for humans and animals.' This might sound plausible, but it is a perfect example of the kind of inflexible, one-size-fits-all regulation that ignores the science and can do incalculable damage to 'biopharming,' one of biotech's most important applications."
Miller adds, "The concept of biopharming is not new. Many common medicines, such as codeine, morphine and the anti-cancer drug Taxol have long been purified from plants. But biopharming's great promise lies in using the techniques of gene-splicing to make old plants do radically new things."
He sums up AB 541: "In other words, in defiance of science and common sense, the California bill creates a regulatory scheme in which the degree of governmental scrutiny and intrusion is inversely proportional to the likely risk."

Location and General Characteristics
The Sheridan neighborhood is located in northeast Minneapolis. It extends from Washington Street NE on the east to the Mississippi River on the west, and from Broadway Street NE on the south to 18 th and 17 th avenues NE on the north. It is named for Civil War General Philip Sheridan. The neighborhood elementary and junior high schools and the local park are all named after General Sheridan too. A large portion of the neighborhood was built for industrial use of the Mississippi River, but there is potential for new housing in these industrial areas. The Sheridan neighborhood also has a sizable amount of small apartment buildings.
The Grain Belt brewery built at the end of the 19 th century produced one of the best-selling beers in the upper Midwest, Golden Grain Belt beer. The brewery closed in 1975 and was dormant for 25 years. In 2002, after investing more than a year and millions of dollars refurbishing the historic structure, RSP Architects moved its Minnesota headquarters there.

Reprinted with permission of the News-Register. Find more News-Register stories about Linfield College here.
By Starla Pointer of the News-Register
By both its own definition and the definition of Linfield College language students, Latin is fabulous.
"Fabulous literally means 'worthy of a story,'" said Malley Nason, one of 10 students studying beginning Latin this winter. Like many other commonly used English word, it comes directly from a Latin one — fabulosus.
"That's something that makes this class fascinating — learning the entomology of words we use every day," she said.
Nason and her classmates don't plan to walk around speaking Latin on campus, and they won't be able to find any movies in Latin on Netflix. But they see it as an invaluable asset to their other studies and their everyday command of English, as well.
"Latin is teaching me about how we build sentences, why this is the direct object, what the verb is telling you," said Nason, a chemistry major. "It's like a magnifying glass for the English language."
Caren Siegel, a creative writing major, added, "I'm learning there are more words I don't know than I thought. And I'm learning more about the words I thought I knew. It's fascinating."
And Michaela Duffey, a French major, said Latin also fits in nicely with her other language studies. French, Italian and Spanish are directly descended from Latin.
"Taking Latin has been on my bucket list," said Michaela Duffey, a freshman majoring in French.
Professor Peter Richardson, who teaches the winter course and other, more advanced, Latin classes, would be pleased to hear students credit learning Latin with improving their English. The ancient language is a creature quite distinct from the foreign languages taught in other Linfield classes.
Students learn German, Spanish, French or Japanese so they can speak them for traveling, translating and doing business. "Latin is different. They won't all be ambassadors to the Vatican," he said.
Latin is more about the thought process, he said. It makes students look very carefully at the parts of each word.
"It gives them a better handle on the power of their own language," he said. "The stronger their English, the better off they'll be about getting their ideas across."
If the professor and his students had a rallying cry, it would be this: "Vivat lingua latina!"
In other words, "Long live Latin."
Students started on the first page of their textbook, "Pan et Syringa," on Jan. 6. They spent three hours a day in class, two in the morning and one after lunch; after class, they may spend another six hours a day on homework. The pace is rapid: one chapter a day.
By the end of the second week, they were able to translate sentences such as "Today, good father, the power of the queen's palace will freeze the gods' flames and change Thebes into a sacred town" — "Hodie, pater bone, potentia regiae reginae flammas deorum congelabit et Thebas in oppidum sanctum mutabit."
Although not a sentiment they expect to use outside Latin class, they're proud to have the skills to write it. And they love the class — and the professor — even though both are tough.
"I don't think my brain has worked so hard in awhile," Siegel said.
Indeed, the syllabus for Elementary Latin I warns students numerous times that they'll need to apply themselves.
"STUDY HARD!! VERY HARD!!" Richardson writes in the syllabus. "Study every second that you're not in class. If not, you will do horribly. Believe me! Not for one second think you can slack off."
Richardson explained that learning Latin requires memorizing many, many vocabulary words, which is why he recommends students make flash cards in order to practice. It also requires training oneself to pay close attention to words and parts of words, and practicing critical thinking.
"Native speakers of the language are hard to come by these days, and there is a general lack of taped broadcast material," he writes in the syllabus. "Thus we will not be doing much speaking of Latin or listening to things like the debates in the Roman Forum or divine discussions on Mount Olympus. One could say that our task will be to learn to decode."
Richardson started a recent class like always, with a song — "Gaudeamus Igitur," which he described as an old student song sung for centuries throughout Europe's universities.
Next, students worked on vocabulary, sentence structure, verb tense and agreement, pronunciation and other aspects of language. They translated sentences from English to Latin and created original sentences. They talked about how changing one word — make a noun plural, for example — requires other words to change.
"What makes a whole thought?" Richardson asked as the class reviewed translations written on the chalkboard. "What's the difference between a declarative sentence and a question?"
As students continued working, the professor pointed out a plural here and reminded about the nominative case there. He paused to discuss the translation of another of those sentences only heard in Latin class, "There was a bull whose shapely limbs were very pleasing to the women."
"Are the women pleasing? Or is it the limbs that are pleasing?" he asked, noting that a slightly different ending can vastly alter the meaning of a word and a sentence.
He also focused on "there." While English speakers use "there" to mean either location or existence, Latin has two separate words.
Later, students took turns reading and translating a story written in Latin, "Marcus et Samis, pueri mali," which could be titled in English, "Two Little Thugs." They groaned with disappointment when class ended before they'd learned the fate of Marcus and Samis.
Throughout each session, Richardson helps bring Latin alive for the students. He said he tries to help them visualize the language — using a role of wax paper, for instance, to explain he word "cera," which refers to wax, like the paper; and "secare" which refers to cutting, like the serrated saw-toothed metal strip used for tearing paper off the roll.
In another visual example, Richardson crossed his arms like a praying monk. "The pretzel talk!" Nason and Siegel recalled, laughing.
Students remember it well: How discussion of the word brachium, meaning arm or limb, led to a story about monks making beer and, to accompany it, baking crusty pretzels shaped to remind them of prayers.
Language doesn't exist in a vacuum, after all.
"I want to talk about culture, history; give them as much as possible," Richardson said.
He also demonstrates real-world uses of Latin through Phillip J. Pirages' Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts catalog, which contains photos and descriptions of pages that are hundreds of years old. Some of his Latin classes take field trips to Pirages' local studio, as well — a reward at the end of the term, the professor said.
Freshman Brett Tomlinson, who is majoring in the classics, said he's intrigued by the historical and cultural aspects of the Latin class, as well as the language part. He plans to continue studying the language next semester and later add Greek, as well.
"This is the basis of all Western culture," he said. "How could I not be interested?

Divine Mercy Sunday
A Special Promise of Mercy
Our Lord's promise to grant complete forgiveness of sins and punishment on the Feast of Mercy is recorded three times in the Diary of Saint Faustina, each time in a slightly different way:
"I want to grant a complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My mercy" (1109).
"Whoever approaches the Fountain of Life on this day will be granted complete forgiveness of sins and punishment" (300).
"The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion will obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment" (699).

What a blessing divine Mercy Sunday is. I went on confession on Wednesday of Holy week; do you know if that qualifies, or do I need to go within 8 days either side of Divine Mercy Sunday?

What a wonderful blessing Our Lord has given us! May He bless all the Priests who have made this promise a reality for the faithful by making Confession available to them this day.

What a blessing indeed!
Divine Mercy Sunday counts as a plenary indulgence so 8 days before or after counts. Now I just read on EWTN that 20 days before or after, but that is the first time I ever read that.
Either way, I would go this Saturday. You can never lose that way.

Eat it don't tweet it!
April 26, 2012
Ha! ha!
This is me I'm afraid.
I am actually cooking a lot and getting very creative since my diet is restricted. It's made me get additionally creative. Some of my friends who see and hear about what I make tell me I should do a cookbook. I've said, I really should start blogging again before I do a cookbook.
In any case it's a lot of additional work to blog everything I cook and I've simply felt overwhelmed a lot lately. So no go, right now, but maybe at some point.

"Someday financial markets will decline...rising stock/bond markets will no longer be government policy. QE will end and money won't be free. Corporate failure will be permitted. The economy will turn. Someday, somewhere, somehow, investors will lose money and once again come to favor capital preservation over speculation. Someday, interest rates will be higher, bond prices lower, and the prospective return from owning fixed-income instruments will again be commensurate with risk." Seth Klarman

Making power more efficiently
It is a common practice in the electric utility industry to utilize multiple stages of shell and tube heaters to preheat feedwater going to the boiler. The challenge has always been transferring as much heat as possible from the steam inside the shell to the water in the tubes. The mechanical design of the heaters helps this by providing baffles to prevent steam from exiting the heater rather than condensing. Heaters cascade from the highest shell pressure being the last in the train to the lowest being the first. There is also one heater called a deaerator that is an open heater between the low-pressure and high-pressure closed heaters where steam mixes with feedwater and any entrained air is removed. The steam for heating feedwater comes from extraction stages of the turbine and from the drain of the next higher-pressure heater.
At first blush, this seems to be a mainly mechanical, self-regulating system, but there are control challenges. First, this is a highly interactive system with the pressure in the shell being a function of the extraction stage of the turbine, the rate of condensation, and the rate of what's coming from the next higher heater's drain. The feedwater's temperature increase is dependent on absorbing heat being released by the condensing steam, which is a function of the level in the heater shell. The more tubing surface area exposed to steam, the more heat can be transferred. A flooded heater will transfer very little heat to the feedwater, and an uncovered drain will let steam pass without condensing fully, so controlling feedwater level in the heater shell is critical.
One additional issue is that not all of the steam is coming from the turbine extraction. Some comes from the drain of the next higher heater. As the heater drains, its condensate passes through a control valve where it flashes back to steam on its way down to the next heater. The control valve must not allow pressure in the drain line to drop below the pressure of the turbine extraction feeding the heater. If the drain valve outlet pressure gets too low, the heater being drained will back up. This is an application where valve sizing and performance is critical. Now multiply these complexities by six or seven stages of heating, and you begin to get the magnitude of the control problem.
Control engineers today have some arrows in their quivers that weren't available when I first started out. For one thing, controllers today have the ability to do their own internal efficiency calculations. For example, a drop in the efficiency of a heater can indicate fouling in the tubes. In older systems, a problem like that would only have showed up after progressing to the point of being a major issue. Some current DCSs have built-in function block libraries covering thermodynamic properties of water and steam, so doing a real-time enthalpy balance around a heater becomes trivial. We can build a multiple-in-multiple-out (MIMO) predictive model running in the controller that can coordinate a group of operating heaters as a set rather than individual units to address interactivity. The bottom line is, with these advances, we can improve on efficiency gains from using heater systems and maintain them better over time.
What other areas of efficiency improvement have you seen?

As Western economies are showing hesitant growth paths and uncertainty is freezing investment plans, growth options are dwindling for multinational companies (MNCs) and many heads are turning to China.
The construction materials industry is no exception, but its complexity is a major challenge. How should MNCs compete to secure profitable growth and overcome local competition? China is one of the biggest construction markets in the world. China is building every year as much as the existing constructed area in Canada! It represents 6.6% of GDP vs. 3.8% in the US and around 5% in most European countries. It's been on a 13% per annum growth rate, and is likely to continue, albeit with occasional bumps ...

Oh wow, what a great look of builds all around
First off: Due to Kong being a bit of messyhead with her wedding next week we have no pictures of the builds other than the favourite this week, I'm very sorry!
Let's get into it!
Our favourite this week is:
""The Book Case" by HoiImSYDNEH and CANADIAN_PIE
Looks like you have put a lot of thought in this build, even before starting the build. The Book Case itself looks great, the way all the books are different sizes and positioned in different ways looks good! Some of the titles really cracked us up The figure looks good, is nicely balanced. We like the treasure chest in the back with the real treasure in it very suiting to the build! Good job guys
Our other (photographless) finished builds this week are (in alphabetical order):
"Lara Croft Jumping for Treasure" by CreeperX3
It's 2 builds in one, it's different and that's good. On the one hand we have a parkour track (would have been nice if that would lead us somewhere) and on the other we have a build. The action in Lara is great. We're hoping she makes it and doesn't end up like the skellie at the bottom! Only tip is that Lara could have used some hair
"The Secret Staff" by _SansBlueberry_
It's a nice set dressed overview, it's def an alchemy station, it's nice to see someone take the theme into a different direction.
The spell is very cool, we can see the motion in it. The treasure box is empty however, did the spell take the loot already?
"Treasure in the Attic" by TheBlueNinjaz
This is a nice build! I like the fact it's a gloomy dark attic until you take a night-vision potion and can go explore, with the scale being as it is you really feel like a mice exploring all the nooks and cranny's. It's great!
"Completely Inconspicious Waterfall" by YellowPie84
This build fits this theme perfectly, it's cute, well hidden, has treasure and a trap you have to turn off.
The only downside is that it would have been greater if it was a bit more elaborate, but good build!
We also counted 3 unfinished/unnamed builds, so thanks for participating everyone and we hope to see you next buildoff!

By the year 2050, 70 percent of the world's population will live in cities, compared to 50 percent today. Many will live in the largest urban areas - the so called mega cities - and this population boost will dramatically increase the need to manage social, economic and environmental issues more efficiently and in a more sustainable way. Ericsson views ICT and mobile technology as key to meeting these challenges and critical for future infrastructure and city planning.
In the Connected Megacity demonstration, we bring the networked city to life and highlight the benefits of collaborative and proactive practices. With focus on technology enablers, we look into three main scenarios. The first one, the safe city, illustrates how ICT solutions can ease traffic congestion after a car accident has impacted on traffic movement.
The second scenario is the creative city and shows how ICT solutions can ensure a quality network user experience for the audience even during densely populated cultural or social events such as concerts. The third scenario, the greener city, demonstrates a heatwave and how a city can manage such conditions by taking advantage of smart grids.
These three demos show how patterns of behavior can be identified by analyzing and combining feeds of data and situational knowledge stemming from these scenarios.
Experts can then work with the results of the analysis to make intelligent and contextual recommendations for different scenarios.

This activity should take about 60 minutes.
After participating in this activity plan, which is designed to help participants learn about the value of leaving natural features and cultural artifacts undisturbed, participants will be able to
Your participants will imagine themselves as part of a futuristic science mission returning to Earth to uncover the secrets of our planet's ancient inhabitants. Participants will try to construct a picture of a vanished people based upon the objects they find.
Gather old camping items such as a tent peg, old frying pan, piece of rope, burnt wood, blackened rocks, a child's toy, an ax, and a bullet shell, or cut pictures of these items from magazines or newspapers. Use your imagination to add other items. Have one object for each person. If conducting this activity inside, you may want to place the items on a bedsheet to protect floors.
Explain to participants that they are traveling in the year 2172 on spaceships returning to Earth. They are on a science mission to find out how earthlings lived hundreds of years ago. You may want to use a prop, such as a model spaceship, to embellish the story. Two different science teams will visit Earth. What will they find?
Break the group into two science teams. Explain that two teams will take turns visiting the planet. One team will "beam down" to observe the site while the other waits inside.
Have the first team view the objects and site without picking up the artifacts. Tell team members to remember their initial impression of the site and be able to describe what the people who lived here were doing.
After viewing the site, have each member of the first team pick up one or more of the objects and hide it so it is not visible. This leaves only half the objects to tell the archaeological story when the second team arrives.
Beam down the second science team, and have its members look at the site and the remaining artifacts. Have each person from this team pick up an artifact. Tell them to remember their initial impression of the site and be able to describe what the people that lived here were doing.
Do the following:
Return to the site and discuss what later explorers might think about this site. Ask participants the following:
Your participants are great scientists! Your group knows the importance of leaving items that they find in their natural setting. A group discussion will help determine how well each person has learned the value of this lesson.
Congratulations on conducting a well-prepared meeting for your group!

2 essential tools: Disclosure Best Practices Toolkit & Social Media Policies roundup
Today's BlogWell event in San Diego offers a good time to post a summary of resources available for businesses and organizations beginning to dabble in social media. This is not the Wild, Wild West where anything goes. By now certain certain customs, ethical standards and unspoken social interactions are widely expected on the social Web.
First, a word about BlogWell: How Big Brands Use Social Media. reps from the U.S. Navy, Starbucks, Clorox, USAA, TurboTax and State Farm are talking openly about how they're using social media in their companies or organizations. There's a live blog of the event's proceedings.
One reason BlogWell rises above some of the other social marketing events popping up everywhere is its association with the Social Media Business Council (formerly the Blog Council, a association of major brands that use social media. See a list of member companies — I just signed up for their newsletter. And socialmedia.org — someone shelled out a few dollars to buy that domain.
"Almost every social media scandal involving brands boils down to a lack of disclosure."
— Andy Sernovitz
When I attended the first of two BlogWells, organizer Andy Sernovitz made a point of putting ethics and disclosure front and center. "The number one issue around ethics comes down to disclosure — being honest about your true identity," he said.
Disclosure is essential, easy but requires education, Sernowitz said. "You don't tack on a disclosure statement later, you start with that. You start with ethics and that's how you lead." It's not only the right thing to do, but "it's essential as a way to stay out of trouble. Almost every social media scandal involving brands boils down to a lack of disclosure. The blogosphere expects to know your motivations."
The "10 magic words" for employees venturing onto the social Web, he said, are these: "I work for X, and this is my personal opinion." That disclaimer goes a long way in helping to separate official company policy from an employee's personal views.
Here's my Disclosure and conflict of interest statement, which I posted in early 2008 and have updated repeatedly since then.
Disclosure Best Practices Toolkit
The Social Media Business Council has created a Disclosure Best Practices Toolkit — a handy and essential resource for any company involved in social media. This is not an imperious one-size-fits-all list of must-dos — "we're not a standards body or trade association," as Sernovitz says. Instead, it's an open source toolkit to help you build your social media policy.
"Adapt it to your company, teach your team, improve ad share," he adds. It could be a full-blown policy that comes out of corporate communications, it might be part of your company's employee handbook, or it could be a set of informal guidelines for your department or team.

Carta-Samuels leads Vanderbilt past UMass 24-7
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Austyn Carta-Samuels threw for two touchdowns and Vanderbilt used a pair of TDs in the fourth quarter to pull away in a 24-7 victory over Massachusetts on Saturday.
Carta-Samuels completed 18 of 27 passes for 219 yards and rushed for 38 more. He also caught a pass for a 21-yard gain that set up his 11-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews to put the Commodores (2-2) up 17-7 with 13:44 left to play.
Vanderbilt gained 167 of its 406 total yards in the fourth quarter, wearing down the Minutemen (0-4) after a tight first half and scoring twice in the final period.
Jonathan Krause had 105 receiving yards on six catches, including a touchdown late in the first quarter.
A.J. Doyle finished 20 of 28 for 133 passing yards and a touchdown for the Minutemen, who trailed 10-7 at halftime.

The last time the Leftfield Loonies were heard from in Memphis, leftfield was near Early Maxwell Boulevard and Central Avenue at the Mid-South Fairgrounds and they were loony for the Memphis Chicks baseball team.
As the Memphis Redbirds gear up for another opening day at AutoZone Park next week, the team is finding ways to connect to the city's history in its marketing plans. (Daily News File Photo/Lance Murphey)
But one of the retro promotions the Memphis Redbirds have on the summer calendar for the 2013 baseball season that opens next week is a commemoration of the past wave of fans for a past baseball franchise.
"We found pictures back in the Chicks days of the Leftfield Loonies. So we're doing a Leftfield Loonies T-shirt giveaway in August," said Adam Goldberg, marketing director of the Redbirds, who open their season Thursday, April 4, at AutoZone Park.
The team will also give away Memphis Chicks hats during the season to honor 1970s era Chicks pitcher Charlie Lea who played in the majors for the Montreal Expos and Minnesota Twins. Lea returned to the city after his playing days and died in 2011.
Lea's unique profile as a pitcher is reportedly the model for the metal cutout of a pitcher featured in the ballpark's plaza area at Third Street and Union Avenue.
Fans who like to soak up the atmosphere of baseball's start each spring can come to AutoZone Park Tuesday, April 2, for a promotion the AAA baseball franchise bills as "Bird Watching."
Redbirds players will take batting practice and fans can watch and get some autographs and pictures. It's free from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Goldberg said the Redbirds will have fireworks after every Saturday home game and block parties with a live band in the plaza before Friday home games.
The team is also making a new effort to get more fans out for weekday home games, especially on Tuesdays, which have been branded "Twosdays" with connected promotions.
"If somebody hits a ground-rule double and you're a twin you get in for free, things like that," Goldberg said. "We're trying to think of things we can offer our fans during the week. It's no mystery that we do have some smaller crowds on weekdays. If you want a foul ball, you get a better chance during a weekday game. Regardless, when we're home it's going to be great baseball."
Memphis has a baseball lineage that goes back to the 19th century.
The history of baseball in Memphis is recounted from the Turtles to the Redbirds in the 2012 book "Baseball in Memphis" by Clarence Watkins. The book can be found at Tiger Book Store near the University of Memphis campus.
Baseball is only one of the selling points to attending Redbirds games this season. The team will reference the old Memphis Chicks in promotions. (Daily News File Photo/Lance Murphey)
Watkins, a native Memphian, even traces the Memphis game to the 19th century at long-forgotten fields named Olympic, Citizen, Cycle and Chickasaw parks before settling in at Red Elm Bottom.
Red Elm Bottom became Red Elm Park in 1896 with a wooden ballpark that was renamed Russwood Park in 1915.
Russwood burned Easter weekend 1960, a pivotal event in Memphis sports history.
Watkins links the fire to one of baseball's many team curses.
The last game ever played at Russwood was an exhibition game between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians. Indians star Rocky Colavito walked in the sixth inning and while he was on first base, Indians manager Joe Gordon walked from the dugout and told Colavito he had been traded to Detroit effective immediately. The ballpark burned that night.
One of the earliest teams to play there, before it was called Russwood, was called the Turtles, possibly because of the slope of the field. Watkins found a 1908 baseball guide that described the field as a "turtleback field" meaning it was sloped from the center to better drain water.
Meanwhile, the Tim McCarver brand that once adorned the team's Mid-South Fairgrounds home could surface there again.
McCarver, a broadcaster and former St. Louis Cardinals catcher as well as Memphis native (and who is reportedly the model for the metal cutout of the catcher facing Lea in the ballpark's plaza), is among those working with the administration of Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. on a fairgrounds master plan.
The tentative plans include a set of baseball fields on the Southern Avenue side of the property on what is now the parking lot of the Mid-South Coliseum.

Manicures in Manhattan
WHY IS New York City the only place on earth in which a manicure – no, not the polish and shape that costs 35 quid at Nails Inc., a proper one – doesn't cost the same as a week's rent? Instead, it's just about a tenner... cheap enough to have your hands looking presentable ALWAYS (almost a requirement before they let you through customs). Pure digital heaven (and I don't meant that in a sexual sense, obviously).
My hands look 10 years younger after a Manhattan manicure (or just a Manhattan but the latter has more to do with the quality of my vision). No less than 5 people complimented my mani after I nipped down to my favourite super-secret mani salon in NY between meetings last week (no joke, they spoke right at the nails). Anyway, I had forgotten what sheer bliss it is to let a woman (wearing an improbable name tag... no way 20 of you all have first names (Western ones, natch) starting with the letter J) buff, nip, clip, push, rub, wash, shape, paint, paint and paint my nails some more. All for the price of two Starbucks runs. And in the same amount of time it would take me to do, say, a SINGLE NAIL on my own at home (I once timed how long it took me to do a passable at-home manicure... the length of a feature film).
Compared to the shoddy – to downright painful, indifferent and inept – nail treatment I've had elsewhere, the salons of New York are an anomaly in nailcare. And like many other things – hot dog vendors and Tinsley Mortimer – the best manicure in the US is something I've only been able to find in New York. Do you pay attention to your nails? If so, where have you had the best manicure of your life? Do share!

A Robertissima Kind of Day
1 March 2014
Miami, Fla. - Overcast and damp, cool morning conditions gave way to a spectacular day of racing at the 2014 Miami Winter Regatta hosted at Miami Beach Marina supported by Coconut Grove Sailing Club and Melges USA. Three races were completed leaving Roberto Tomasini Grinover on Robertissima in first overall, setting a great precedent for his team and their start to the season.
Second overall is reigning World Champion Jason Carroll and his Argo team, followed by John Kilroy on Samba Pa Ti in third.
Racing commenced on time with Tomasini Grinover claiming the strongest team performance of the day. His 2-1-4 scoreline has him seated quite comfortably in the lead — for now, some 9 points ahead of Carroll. The Robertissima team battled endlessly against Carroll, Kilroy, Tony Buckingham aboard Ngoni, Richard Goransson's Helly Hansen Inga From Sweden and Joe Woods on Red.
Kilroy, a former Melges 32 World Champion (2012), after a one year hiatus from the class lashed out at the competition in Race One of the day like he had never left. He and his team worked hard all race long to keep/acquire an impressive lead, ultimately extending for the win.
The last and final race of the day brought on more shifty conditions with Japan's Keisuke Suzuki on Swing coming on super strong to take an early lead, trailed by Alec Cutler's hedgehog and Woods. Suzuki, currently sitting ninth overall grabbed the win. Cutler was second while Woods finished an impressive third — a team that is back, fresh on the track. Tomasini Grinover finished fourth and Kilroy in fifth.
With Tomasini Grinover in the overall lead, happily the Robertissima team hosted a previously planned cocktail social hour after racing. Every team attended with lots of smiles all around. For almost two hours, drinks and food were served leaving every thirst and hunger fully satisfied.
Three more races are scheduled for Saturday with a first warning of 11.00.
Each day, the IM32CA will bring the the latest news, results, pictures and more from the course as the action is happening. Please visit the class Facebook page for constant updates.
TOP FIVE RESULTS (After 3 Races)
1.) Roberto Tomasini Grinover/Vasco Vascotto, Robertissima; 2-1-4 = 7
2.) Jason Carroll/Cameron Appleton, Argo; 6-3-7 = 16
3.) John Kilroy/Paul Goodison, Samba Pa Ti; 1-11-5 = 17
4.) Joe Woods/Chris Draper, Red; 13-2-3 = 18

Daisy Johnson, Eden Fesi, Garabed Bashur, Adam Brashear, Julia Carpenter
(Quake, Manifold, Black Box, Blue Marvel, Madame Web)
Daisy Johnson, a.k.a. "Quake" is more of a junior Nick Fury than "Nick Fury Jr." She worked with him and a handful of heroes during Fury's Secret War and quickly moved up the ranks of SHIELD. Aside from Fury & Black Widow, she's the only known agent with Level 10 clearance. She was one of Fury's "Secret Warriors" when Fury went underground and was even an Avenger for a little while.
Like Fury & Tony Stark, she's been the leader of SHIELD. Like Stark, she's had to erase some of her own memories. Like Fury, she's no longer in charge of SHIELD. In "Secret Avengers", she's been "indefinitely suspended" over her handling of a specific situation (attempted assassination of a foreign power). She knows something big's coming. But she's not going to let a suspension stop her.
Which is where our story begins....
Her first stop once she's on the run? Eden Fesi, a.k.a Manifold. He's an Avenger and, more importantly, he's a teleporter with unlimited potential. They were Secret Warriors together, she looked after him when he fell into a coma and, in turn, he helped her during that memory erasing ordeal.
From there, their next stop is India to pick up her next recruit, a technopath called Black Box. Maimed by Sabretooth, Bashur was believed deceased until his recent encounters with Deadpool. He's been on both sides of the law and never too far from SHIELD observers/bagmen. They need him as tech support for Johnson and to help contact their next recruit... Blue Marvel!
Blue Marvel has been around the Marvel Universe since the 60's, but was forced into retirement and now focuses mainly on his research. Johnson wants to recruit him, not only for the power that he brings to the table (even if he only participates in the occasional mission), not only for the use of his secret underwater base in the Mariana Trench but also for assistance with the next recruit, the psychic who initially warned former Director Johnson of the impending doom... Madame Web!
Julia Carpenter "inherited" the precognative abilities of the former Madame Web upon her death. Even though she's now blind, she still has her Spider-Woman powers and can handle herself in a fight. She foresaw an upcoming crisis and, knowing that Spider-Man wasn't the one to go to for this problem, she contacted the person she saw in her visions. She's been contacting the director for months now, helping Johnson understand the threat that's on the horizon and giving her time to plan.
While Carpenter has limited knowledge of the future, she had no idea Johnson's next step was to recruit...

With the click of a shutter, a photographer is able to capture a fleeting moment and hold it forever. It's no wonder that photography is so deeply connected to nostalgia. For many people, that nostalgic feeling embraces the love of vintage camera equipment as well. Whether it's the look of vintage gear, the sturdy metal construction of the equipment, or simply the challenge of using a camera from days gone by, vintage photographic items enjoy a strong popularity today. Below are a few cameras and accessories that make for interesting vintage finds. Click on the name of the item underneath the image to go straight to the listing.
The Crown Graphic is a 4×5 folding camera that was produced between 1958-1973. It is almost identical to the Speed Graphic, but lacks the focal plane shutter. As a result, the Crown Graphic weighs approximately 1 lb less than the Speed Graphic, which is more ideal for hand held use. It weighs roughly 4.8 lbs with the included Optar 135mm f4.7 lens. This particular camera has inoperable shutter speeds, so this vintage beauty would make a great repair project or nice decorative piece.
Straps are definitely a recommended accessory that can help save a camera from a fatal fall. The nice thing about camera straps is not only are they functional, but they can be stylish as well. Vintage camera straps in particular have patterns and colors that are a lot of fun. This style is known as a "hippie" type strap. The strap is made of cloth and leather, and the clips are made of metal. It is 2" wide, adjustable and features a multicolor design. It works with almost all film and digital camera bodies, so the nostalgic look can be enjoyed with both vintage and modern cameras.
When collecting vintage equipment, sometimes locating the vintage accessories to accompany the camera can be difficult. Vintage finds such as the Zeiss Ikon eveready cases are great for protecting your vintage camera, either while in storage or in use. The cases are made of leather, and have a felt lined interior to prevent scratches. The bottom part of the case may remain on the camera while in use, and the front flap can either be flipped open or completely detached depending on the preference of the shooter. This particular lot includes not only the cases, but an array of manuals, film holders and other vintage accessories. It may just include that missing accessory that you've been trying to locate for your vintage camera!
The Polaroid SX-70 Land Camera was introduced in late 1972, and was sold nationally by 1973. It was quite an innovative camera for the time, as it was the first that allowed the shooter to simply focus, press a button and instantly have a photograph that developed in daylight. The Polaroid SX-70 also has a nifty collapsible body, and a battery that is built into the film pack. Although Polaroid discontinued production of the film in 2006, The Impossible Project now makes film for many vintage Polaroid cameras like the SX-70. This lot of Polaroid SX-70 Land Cameras is a great find for vintage collectors.
Another neat vintage find is the Kodak Film camera strap. Not only does it have the same functionality as other vintage straps, it has three elastic slots on the underside to store rolls of film. It is 2" wide, and adjustable. The strap is made of cloth, and it has leather connectors and metal clips. It features the vintage Kodak film logo, and the eye-catching yellow would add character to any camera.

Cardinal singers to perform at Lamarissimo!
(Lamar press release)
The Cardinal Singers will delight audiences with jazz classics and popular '50s hits that are guaranteed to get toes tapping when they take the stage for the Lamarissimo! concert at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 25, in the Julie Rogers Theatre.
"We start with old-school jazz that everyone knows and loves, such as 'Moon River,' 'Stormy Weather,' and 'At Last,' and then move into fun novelty tunes from the 1950s, like 'I Only Have Eyes For You' and 'Beauty School Dropout,'" said Lynnda Castolenia, director of the Cardinal Singers. "Our last act represents the Olympics, featuring a children's choir that represents the different elementary schools in our area. We hope everyone will come out and enjoy good music and a good time."
The Cardinal Singers show choir is a select group of talented vocalists. There are 10 members in the Cardinal Singers this year, including Jared Hall, Geralyn Harper, Stephanie Messina, Rosalene Mitchell and Reuben Prevost, all from Beaumont; Othello Edwards and Chalay Moore, from Dallas; Sarah Jackson, Lufkin; Angelica Johnson, Houston; and Keenen Kelley, Peoria, Ill.
"The Cardinal Singers have worked long hours improving their sound," said Castolenia. "They enjoy the type of music we are singing, and they loved working with and mentoring the children's choir we assembled for the show."
The children's choir will perform "Power of the Dream" with the Cardinal Singers, and will dance to "I Believe/J'Imagine" while the Cardinal Singers perform.
When Castolenia was planning the show, she came across the song "I Believe/ J'Imagine," which was performed at the closing ceremony of the 2010 winter Olympics, and knew she had to include it as one of the selections.
"We wanted to use children to show the power of the dream," said Castolenia. "Our wonderful Lamar students are the future, just as these younger children are. I wanted to show that in the performance."
The show will close with "Lamar Loyalty," the alma mater arranged by L. Randolph Babin, former choral director and music department chair.
"As a graduate of the music department, it means so much to me to work with the Cardinal Singers," Castolenia explained. "It's like coming home. I am so proud to show our community and beyond how talented our students are."
The Lamarissimo! Concert Series is presented by the Lamar University Mary Morgan Moore Department of Music. The Cardinal Singers and Cardinal Dancers concert is sponsored by Entergy Texas.
The Julie Rogers Theatre is at 765 Pearl St. in downtown Beaumont. The concert is open to Lamarissimo! season ticket-holders as part of the five-performance package. Individual tickets are $18 for adults and $1? for students andwill be available in the theatre box office beginning at 6:45 p.m. before the performance. Admission is free to students of Lamar University with a valid LU identification.
Additional information about the concert or the upcoming season is available from the Department of Music, phone (409) 880-8144.

The People of Paper by Salvador Plascencia
Amidst disillusioned saints hiding in wrestling rings, mothers burnt by glowing halos, and a Baby Nostradamus who sees only blackness, a gang of flower pickers heads off to war, led by a lonely man who cannot help but wet his bed in sadness. Part memoir, part lies, this is a book about the wounds inflicted by first love and sharp objects.Except there's so much more. Instead of The People of Paper, they should have called this The Book of Extended Metaphors, to go along with one of the books between its covers, The Book of Incandescent Light. They should have called it The Book of Heartbreak or The People of Sorrow. They should have equipped it with warning signs and seatbelts to protect those of us naive enough to get caught up in the fairy tale first pages, those of us who ignored for a moment that this is a book for mature adults, people with scars, people who should not expect a book about a childproof world. They might have dropped a few more hints, might have whispered: "This book will lock you in a shed of tears."
They should have said the truth: This book is sublime.
Of course, you might not like it. That is your right. I will admit that I got so caught up in what the book was doing to me that I abandoned many of my analytical facilities and faculties in a fit of enchanted downsizing, that I didn't stop to think about structure or symmetry, that I didn't separate the elements based on visions of Intro to Lit textbooks dancing like sugarplums in my no-longer-New Critical brain. I read the book like a person in the first throes of love, blindly, enraptured, captured, chained, and, in the end, tortured and bereft. This one's for you, Susan: Here is your erotics of art.
Except isn't The People of Paper all about the dangers of orgasms with origami? Remember the story it tells of Merced de Papel, the last of the paper people made by St. Antonio in the days after ribs and mud and before Swedish bioengineering -- Merced de Papel, who traveled to Los Angeles and was loved by many men, creating an ad hoc tribe of people scarred with paper cuts on their most sensitive skins. Remember the story of Liz, who loved Sal, who dreamed a world and wrote a book and couldn't have the book and the world and Liz, and so he created a Saturnalia of spite and loss, of names cut out of pages and dedications taken away.
I don't know of another book where the metafictional games are so necessary to the ultimate emotional effect, where the fireworks explode fantasy and reality to rain down not wonder, but heartache. The experiments of typography do not create any real difficulty for the reader, but instead evoke a visual and sometimes even physical analogue to the narrative, bringing the story beyond words. Watch the colors, for instance. It is no coincidence that dominoes are a passion for so many characters here -- letters combine into words and words combine into sentences like a game of dominoes with twenty-six numbers to place together in infinite possibilities, to stack up in paragraphs and knock down in pages, the black dots of ink on the white tile of paper. Notice, too, how little color is in this world, how much depends upon green lettuce, the green rind and pulp of limes, a green dress. Little drops of poison. Paper cuts, each.
I could go on and on. I could tell you that what might feel like an anarchic concatenation of voices in the book is actually one voice trying to find a way out of grief, I could tell you why I think this is a novel that cleverly dresses up anger and hurt to pretend they are sorrow, I could exhort and proclaim. But instead I will end with two paragraphs among the many I loved:
He folded the letter, stuffed it into an envelope, and affixed postage. Saturn did not know her zip code or apartment number or the city where she had gone. He put her name on the envelope. Below her name he described the types of places where she might be: cities with rivers, streets with breezes, apartments with steps, rooms with canopies.It could be a bill from a voracious reader, that. It could be a cry against a book that, if you have any heart at all, will make you cry.
Still, three weeks later, there was no reply -- just an itemized bill from the Postmaster General requesting reimbursements for maps of cities and waterways, for wind-velocity meters, and for all the man-hours spent climbing steps and peering into strangers' bedrooms.

Dublin, 1862 A meeting was held in Dublin on 21 July 1862 to discuss establishing a Catholic University. Many people were in attendance and a list was read out of those who apologized for not being there. Included on the list was John Buggy, Kilkenny. [1]
Kilkenny, 1863 The Queens at the prosecution of John T. Campion vs the Mayor of Kilkenny.
Mr. O'Donnell, QC on behalf of John Thomas Campion, applied for a conditional order for a mandamus directed to the Mayor, Aldermen and Councillors (sic) of the Borough of Kilkenny, commanding them to proceed to the election of a mayor of that city for the year 1863. From the affidavit filed by Mr. Campion, it appeared that on the 1st of December last the town council of Kilkenny met for the purpose of electing a mayor for the ensuing year, on which occasion Mr. Alexander Collis, and Mr. John Buggy, and on a division being taken, the votes were equal, the numbers being eleven for Mr. Collis, and eleven for Mr. Buggy. Under these circumstances several members of the council maintained that Mr. Edmond Smithwick, being the senior alderman, was entitled, under the 83rd section of the Municipal Act, to give his casting vote, which that gentleman declined to do. Mr. Collis insisted that under the 92nd section of the act, he was empowered to give his casting vote, which he according had recorded in his own favour (sic). Some confusion followed, whereupon Mr. Collis declared the meeting dissolved, and hastily withdrew from the room. Since that period Mr. Collis continued to discharge the functions of the office. Counsel contended that by the 83rd section of the Municipal Act the senior alderman had the right of giving the casting vote, and submitted that as Mr. Collis had evidently committed a mistake, he was entitled to the granting of the conditional order.
The Court granted the conditional order.[2]
Dublin, 1928 Owing to the steering gear becoming locked one of Messrs. Peter Kennedy's vans when driven through a gateway at Tallaght yesterday failed to turn; it mounted the opposite bank and overturned, the windscreen being broken. The driver, Patrick Buggy, of 9 Grattan Parade, Dublin, was taken to the Meath hospital suffering from shock. After some time he was allowed to go home.[3]
Kilkenny, 1932 While returning from Bagenalstown, a pony driven by Mr. Patrick Buggy, engineer, Gowran, shied and overturned the trap. Mr. Buggy was pinned beneath it and sustained a broken arm and severe head injuries. He lies in Kilkenny Hospital in a serious condition.[4]
Dublin, 1935 In an action by Peter Kennedy, Ltd., and an employe (sic) of the firm named Patrick Buggy, against Harold Thompson, 102 South Circular Road, for damages and personal injury that were caused by the negligence of the defendant in the driving and control of a motor car at Ballymount lane on the 6th April 1934, a settlement was arrived at, and, by consent decrees amount to £120, with £40 costs were recorded.[5]

Thomas Bowen has dealt a stunning blow to the"bounty hunter" system in place in about half the states, whereby state prosecutors receive a significant share of the forfeiture booty with few limitations on how they spend it. In a test case ably litigated by the Institute for Justice, a Washington, D.C.-based conservative public interest legal foundation, the court held that N.J.S.A. 2C:64-1 et seq. violates the due process clauses of the New Jersey and federal constitutions because it exceeds the constitutional limit on the financial or personal interest of officials charged with prosecutorial functions.1 Before I discuss the decision, I must digress to explain what the issue is and why it is so important.The problem with 'bounty hunter' statutesForfeiture reformers, notably the NACDL, have long identified these statutory bounty hunter provisions as the root cause of most forfeiture abuse.

A few simple tips will help you to avoid incurring a parking fine;
• Ensure that you carefully read and follow any parking signs, private parking, ACROD, time restrictions and loading zones.
• Refrain from parking in 'No Stopping' areas, 'No Parking' areas, 'Loading Zones', in 'Bus Stops' and bays or 'Taxi Only' bays.
• Do not park on a verge where signage prohibits the action, on verges without permission from the property owner, in bays for other types of vehicles (e.g. motorcycles, bicycles, taxis etc), in rights of way, in a way that obstructs a driveway or footpath or facing against the traffic flow.
• Check that you know the times you are allowed to park and allow yourself time to return before your parking expires.
• Ensure you have parked your vehicle within the bay or area permitted
• Ensure that your parking permit is displayed in a prominent place and has the correct side facing up.
• If you have a current ACROD permit ensures it is clearly visible.
• Do not use ACROD parking areas for parking, loading or unloading, unless you hold a valid ACROD permit. This is an offence even if the vehicle is occupied.
• Parking in the same manner as another illegally parked vehicle does not exempt from an infringement notice being issued.
• If your tyres have been chalked, do not attempt to remove the chalk marks and do not remove the vehicle (once parked) and re-parked within the same street/area within the designated time limit (the time limit does not apply merely to the space or bay occupied - it applies to the whole street or car park).
• Allow yourself enough time to park thoughtfully and carefully.
For more information please call the City of Bayswater Ranger and Security Service during office hours on 08 9272 0972.
Appealable grounds
Parking infringement appeals will only be considered on the following grounds;

• A person parked in a disabled parking bay who is an eligible ACROD holder, or the vehicle was carrying a passenger who is the holder of an ACROD sticker.
• Special circumstances- please provide information in writing and supporting evidence.
All infringements will be placed on hold once an appeal has been received to prevent further fees being applied during review of the appeal.
All appeals are lodged and processed through an appeal administration system. A letter of response advising the outcome of the appeal will be forwarded to you.
Non-appealable grounds
The circumstances where a request for appeal will not be considered include;
• The driver did not realise the time.
• The driver's appointment ran over time.
• The vehicle ran out of petrol.
• The driver had not applied for the relevant parking permit.
• The restaurant/cafe service was slow.
• The permit had fallen out of sight.

• The driver does not have an ACROD Parking permit but was injured or had a medical condition
• The vehicle was parked a little bit over the footpath and people could still get past.

Lawmakers divided over immigration
Key lawmakers see opportunity this session to address immigration reform but remain stymied on a central issue: whether to tackle it in chunks or in one complete package.
"Every member of Congress will find something in a comprehensive bill that they will not like," Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) said at Tuesday's POLITICO Pro Tech Deep Dive focused on Immigration, Technology and the 113th Congress. "We should have a series of bills — four, five or six bills — that we debate separately but that we vote together on the House floor."
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
Labrador accused the White House of aiming for a "political victory" instead of a "policy victory."
Silicon Valley Democrat Zoe Lofgren redirected the blame to Congress. "I have had Republicans say they don't want Obama to do a bill because they want flexibility, but if he doesn't do a bill, he's criticized," she said. "I'm waiting for a signal from the speaker on what he wants to do. It's not that tough, it's just the decision to do it."
Tech companies are lobbying hard for immigration reforms that would allow foreign employees to fill unmet demand and ensure they maintain global competitiveness. And all three lawmakers agree the system needs fixing. The difficulty lies in figuring out how to do it.
But the issue is a special challenge for Republicans, who must reconcile shifting demographics and a history of no-mercy enforcement.
"The Republicans have been really pathetic, quite frankly, to communicate our position on this," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said.
Chaffetz pushed a bill last session that would have lifted the country caps on visas for high-skilled workers. Tech companies like Microsoft and Google embraced the bill. The legislation passed the House but failed in the Senate.
And Labrador has become a leading GOP voice on immigration changes, saying his decision to run for governor hinges on whether Congress implements reforms. He and Chaffetz advocated last session for legislation that would have granted up to 55,000 visas to noncitizens who complete certain science, technology, engineering and math degrees at American universities. Democrats lambasted the bill, known as the STEM Jobs Act, as a token Republican move to garner minority support. The Senate shot the bill down.
