CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A recent two-million dollar gift to MIT men's basketball will help the program endow its head coach position. Former MIT standout player, David H. Koch '62, made the transformational gift to MIT's Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation (DAPER).
Koch graduated as MIT's all-time scoring leader, amassing 946 points despite sitting out the majority of his sophomore season due to injury. His Rockwell Cage record of 41 points in a game stood for 46 years and he currently ranks second in career scoring average with 21 points per game. Koch was one of the program's top rebounders as he hauled in 545 boards and was a recipient of a pair of All-New England First Team honors.
Larry Anderson, the current head coach of the Engineers is a two-time New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Coach of the Year. Currently in his 16th season at the helm of the MIT men's basketball team, Coach Anderson holds the distinction of garnering the most victories in MIT basketball history. He guided the Engineers to back-to-back NCAA Championship Tournament appearances the past two seasons while also capturing the squad's first NEWMAC Championship title. In 2009, Coach Anderson was named the Division III New England College Coach of the Year by the New England Basketball Hall of Fame.
"Coach Anderson has brought MIT basketball to new heights, and as a former Engineer player it is an enormous privilege to be able to do something to help the team," said David H. Koch. "My jump shot isn't quite what it once was, but I am hopeful this endowment will help others perfect theirs. I join my fellow teammates and DAPER alumni in wishing continued success on the smartest basketball program in America."
In addition to establishing The David H. Koch '62 Head Coach of Men's Basketball endowment, Koch has been generous to MIT in many ways, including providing the leading gift in support of the Institute for Integrative Cancer Research that is named for him and will be dedicated in March, 2011.

NHMS TV Commercial Debuts This Weekend, Features Joey Logano and Loudon the Lobster
NASCAR star Joey Logano says he is ready to hoist another giant lobster in New Hampshire Motor Speedway's victory lane during a new television commercial that will air during coverage of this weekend's season-opening NASCAR events in Daytona Beach, Fla.
The commercial, produced and directed by Victory Management Group, shows "The Magic Mile" snow crew shoveling 55 inches of snow off of the track's Granite Stripe start-finish line, making room for Loudon the Lobster and the cars and stars of NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series.
Logano, driver of the No. 20 Home Depot Toyota, looks over a snow-covered speedway in the spot, daydreaming of another Granite State victory. His first ever NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win came at the LENOX Industrial Tools 301 in June 2009.
New Hampshire's own Greg Makris, of Makris Lobster and Steak House in nearby Concord, N.H., makes his small-screen debut in the commercial as a member of the NHMS snow crew.
Makris Lobster and Steak House provide all of the lobsters raised in victory lane at the speedway.
NASCAR's premier drivers will invade a much warmer New Hampshire Motor Speedway on July 15-17 for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301.
The Season of Speed is fast approaching and tickets for the LENOX Industrial Tools 301, the INDYCAR 225 on Aug. 14 and the SYLVANIA 300 on Sept. 25 are now on sale. They can be purchased by calling the NHMS ticket hotline at (603) 783-4931 or visiting www.nhms.com.

Many people make changes to their diet after a cancer diagnosis as a way of staying as healthy as possible. They may also do this to help their body cope with the effects of cancer and its treatments. Giving up smoking, increasing physical activity and following a healthy diet are the most important changes people can make for their health.
For most people, making these types of changes will make the biggest difference to their health. They can be more helpful than making any one particular change.
People often ask about 'superfoods' or foods that boost the immune system. But there isn't any medical evidence that suggests these work.
There still isn't enough clear information to make exact recommendations about what someone with cancer should eat. In general, cancer experts recommend following a healthy, balanced diet. Your healthcare team (this includes your GP, doctors and nurses) are the best people to advise you what, if any, lifestyle changes you can make that may help.
We have more information about Healthy eating and cancer and a useful video with tips for healthy eating.

Society Publishes New Standards for Optimal Patient Care
The National Rosacea Society (NRS) has published new standard patient care options for rosacea, developed by a consensus committee and review panel of 26 rosacea experts, and articles on the various options for controlling the many potential aspects of this widespread disorder will appear in the coming issues of Rosacea Review.1
"Because the full effects of rosacea tend to vary significantly from one patient to another, medical therapy and other elements of care must be tailored by physicians for each individual case for optimal results," said Dr. Richard Odom, professor of dermatology at the University of California-San Francisco, who chaired the expert committee. "The new standard options should serve as a significant tool in helping doctors provide the best possible outcomes for their rosacea patients."
The new system for managing the disorder builds off of the standard classification and grading systems, previously developed and published by the NRS consensus committee, which identified the four subtypes of rosacea. These include subtype 1 (erythematotelangiectatic) rosacea, characterized by flushing, redness and often visible blood vessels; subtype 2 (papulopustular) rosacea, including bumps and pimples; subtype 3 (phymatous) rosacea, including skin thickening, commonly of the nose; and subtype 4 (ocular) rosacea, involving irritation of the eyes.
"Patients often experience more than one subtype at the same time, and that's one of the reasons good patient-doctor communication can be so important," Dr. Odom said. He noted that the new system begins by advising health professionals to ask patients about possible features of the disorder that might not be visibly evident at the time of their visit.
For example, anyone who has significant flushing should be sure they inform their dermatologist, including how and when it occurs. Patients should also tell their doctor if they have had extensive sun exposure in their job or lifestyle, as this may lead to redness and visible blood vessels from sun damage.
Beyond its facial symptoms, rosacea can also affect the eyes in some patients, and it may be especially important to note any eye discomfort, such as irritation, burning or stinging, or if the eyes tend to be watery or bloodshot. Although eye symptoms are often mild, in more severe cases they may require treatment by an eye specialist.
Also let your doctor know about any facial burning, stinging or itching, as these factors may then be addressed for your individual case. In addition, because of its effect on personal appearance, remember to be open about the impact rosacea has on your professional or social life in order to help determine the appropriate level of care.
"A wide range of measures are available for managing this potentially complex disorder," Dr. Odom said. "Along with appropriate use of oral or topical therapy, these can include lifestyle changes, surgical procedures such as laser therapy if needed, eye care when called for, proper skin care and effective use of cosmetics."

Inside Cork by Cork's London Studio
After studying and working as a chemist for a decade, Conrad Engelhardt was ready for a creative change of pace. Years of collecting wine corks gave him the idea for his first piece, a triptych that gained the notice of Terence Conran for his recently designed Lutyens restaurant in London.
Conrad develops his pieces from his home studio in London's edgy arts neighborhood of Shoreditch. Each piece involves thousands of corks, and cataloguing the inventory proved to be the biggest challenge for his workspace. To deal with the organizational headache, Conrad invested in an antique cartographer's cabinet that he found on eBay. This cabinet is the centerpiece of his workspace, and holds the materials that he uses to create his pieces.
Conrad collects the corks from a group of restaurants, and then carefully examines the color and texture of each one. This is where Conrad combines his past experience in organic chemistry with his creative side — he finds beauty in the compounds in the wine that create the colors he selects for his painterly palette.
The first solo exhibition of Conrad's work is this weekend at the Hoxton Gallery at the Arch.

Steps for Earning the Leave No Trace Awareness Award
Some groups with extensive backcountry experience may already practice the Leave No Trace principles as a part of their culture. Others might only "car camp." Some may do a lot of backpacking but have no knowledge of Leave No Trace and consequently may have to overcome a few bad habits. To complicate the task, even experienced groups will probably have new members who have not been exposed to Leave No Trace principles and skills.
The first step in putting together a training program for your group is to honestly understand where you are. Start by asking yourself and your youth participants the following questions:
Honest answers to questions like these will help determine where your group stands in the process of learning Leave No Trace principles. Having established where you are will help you determine where to start your Leave No Trace training. Learn those skills and ethics that are needed from this handbook to help you complete the requirements for earning the Leave No Trace Awareness Award.
This handbook has been designed for flexibility in meeting your needs. Teach as little or as much as your group can handle in a session. You may have already taught participants some of these skills. With this design you can determine your group needs and go to that part of the handbook. Work these activities into your weekly meetings and monthly campouts to prepare for successful completion of requirements for the Leave No Trace Awareness Award.
It's easy to help your group learn Leave No Trace skills in a fun and interesting atmosphere. The following tips provide insight into the teaching and learning process.
Advance preparation of meetings helps ensure a quality experience for you and your audience. Some activities require you to assemble materials, to have participants come prepared, or to select special meeting locations. Keep the following in mind:
Each of us teaches and learns with our own unique style. Anyone who has worked with people knows that different people are inspired by different teaching and learning techniques. Most young people generally prefer active, hands-on, minds-on learning. These Leave No Trace activities have been written with the following styles in mind.
People learn better when being guided to discover and think for themselves. Learning through lectures from the "expert" is seldom interesting and easily forgotten. When teaching Leave No Trace, remember to
The activities in this handbook are designed to allow participants to discover for themselves the importance of Leave No Trace and how to apply the principles.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) hosted a mandatory 'sensitivity training' in the summer of 2011 for its employees. OK, no harm, no foul so far. We do need to be sensitive to one another, and if you're going to work for the government, and therefore represent the government, there should be some training involved for sensitive issues.
However, this training session had nothing to do with sensitivity, unless by sensitivity, you mean insulting the pilgrims. Video was finally released this week of the so-called "Cultural Sensitivity Training" program, and the footage is ... well, let's just say it's disconcerting at best.
The head of the USDA, Tom Vilsack, sent a memo to all department employees describing the training as part of a "new era of civil rights." It was led by self-proclaimed "citizen of the world" Samuel Betances on USDA premises. In 2011 and 2012, the federal government paid Betances and his firm nearly $200,000 for taking part in the "cultural transformation" program.
So what was this great cultural training for sensitivity all about and what does it have to do with the pilgrims? Betances asked the participants (remember attendance was mandatory for all USDA employees) to chant, "The pilgrims were illegal aliens."
So that happened. Our government spent $200,000 of taxpayer money to compare people that break the law by entering our country illegally to the brave pioneers that risked everything to come to a new world for religious freedom, democracy, and prosperity.
Look, we can have a real discussion about the big old mess that is our current system of immigration. Fact of the matter is that we do need reform -- big time. But spewing nonsense about how the pilgrims were illegal aliens because they "never gave their passports to the Indians" is ridiculous.
In fact, you could even argue that that phrase itself was culturally insensitive. They were Native Americans, not Indians. Indians come from India. Get your cultures right, USDA.
Do you think this cultural sensitivity training was insensitive?

Somehow, we finished THREE bottles. I don't know how!
With fantastic beef stew!
Marcel Lapierre Les Raisins Gauloises XI: fantastic light, simple, and utterly delicious slurper wine. Savory, but with good Gamay fruit and just a touch of funk. 88 points
2007 Hopper Creek Petit Sirah From a vineyard source in Pope Valley. Delicious pet blueberry fruit, but with plenty of freshness due to the acidity. Nice savory core. Hoppe Creek remains one of my favorite under the radar, rustic, low key wineries...the antithesis of the glitzy tourist-oriented megawinery. Friendly people who have been there a long time. Great wine! 92 points
2009 Alexander Valley Reserve Cabernet I love Cyrus, their Bordeaux blend, but for $20 less, the Reserve Cabernet from their Alexander Valley estate vineyard is mighty fine. This is still a little tannic and primary, but it has that wonderful tangyness and savory, bell pepper core that I find in all their younger wines. 13.8% a.b.v....I don't think they picked the grapes in November! One friend found this a little too green, and I can see why, but I tend to like greener Cabernets. In five years, the oak will have integrated nicely and the fruit may be more balanced, but I had no problem at all drinking this tonight! 90, with strong upside potential. The 2008 is already showing amazingly well at the winery!

iPad Handwriting Apps Review
Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad)" @ 02:04 PM
"Apps that allow users to handwrite on their iPads using a finger or stylus have become increasingly popular, which suggests that the iOS keyboard is not always the best tool for a job, and that typing may not have fully eroded the need for decent handwriting."
I settled on Notability for my needs, since I work mostly with PDFs and I like how it organizes files. What are your thoughts on this lengthy list of apps? Which one or ones do you use?

The United Nations Global Compact asks companies to embrace, support and enact, within their sphere of influence, a set of core values in the areas of human rights, labor standards,the environment and anti-corruption. Since signing the UN Global Compact in 2009, Tarkett haspromoted progress on all 10 Principles through its commitment and actions and its stakeholderrelationships. Tarkett has reached the Global Compact Advanced level, demonstrating itscommitment to translate and implement into practices the Global Compact Principles.
At Tarkett, safety is our highest priority. Our commitment to social responsibility starts with safety, so we create a true dynamic of training and ownership at every level of the company. Safety training throughout our organization is a requirement for every employee, adapted to the workplace environment in which they operate. Systematic implementation of safe practices and behavior is driven though our World Class Manufacturing methodology, which continues to be deployed throughout our plants worldwide. Our safety program is also reinforced through internal auditing and Executive Committee review of individual accident reports. Safety really is a value that is shared on the plant floor everywhere Tarkett operates
OHSAS 18001An occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that helps organizations to: consistently identify and control health and safety risks; reduce the potential for accidents; aid legislative compliance; and improve overall performance. OHSAS 18001 can be aligned with existing ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems. Historically many organizations start with a quality management system (ISO 9001) and then add the environment management requirements from ISO 14001. They then look at their health and safety risks and add OHSAS 18001.All of our plants in North America have met the OHSAS 18001 specifications.
As a global business, we embrace and understand the importance of operating in a multicultural world.

A female bus driver went berserk, beating down a sassy high school passenger for being "disrespectful." It's not clear exactly what the student said that set off the city worker, but the entire brutal brawl was caught on camera.
The women are literally throwing each other up the narrow aisle and over the seats as other patrons tried to squeeze out of their way. It is one of the most shocking public fights I've ever seen.
From the video, it appears as though the driver threw the first blow, but the teen gave as good as she got. They were both clawing, slapping, and pulling on each other like feral cats. It was crazy that this all went down on public transportation. The bus driving basher has reportedly been on the job since 2003, so I am sure a lot of passengers have worked her last nerve before. Shouldn't she have thicker skin by now?
The other passengers were clearly shocked (aside from the one who continued whatever game that was on her Game Boy as the fists flew over her head). Toward the end of the skirmish, a man could be heard pleading, "Are you going to let that little girl go, lady?" Oddly enough, this is the second wild bus fight that has popped up in the last month. In October, another driver punches the living daylights out of a woman who was arguing with him. Totally nuts!
A rep for Baltimore's MTA says the employee in this latest bus brawl has been placed on leave while they investigate the incident. With her job possibly on the line, I wonder if she is regretting her reaction now. Couldn't she just have kicked the smart-mouthed teen off the bus instead of beating the crap out of her? I certainly understand how maddeningly rude kids can be, but that is no justification for smacking them around. Her bad judgement warrants a temporary suspension -- whether that kid was rude or not.
Watch the brutal bus brawl:
Do you think the driver should have been suspended?

HOBART, Australia, Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Elena Vesnina, 0-6 in previous WTA finals, beat Mona Barthel 6-3, 6-4 Saturday in the title match of the Moorilla Hobart International tennis tournament.
Vesnina had appeared in six title matches since January 2009 but managed to win just one set before Saturday's breakthrough. Last year, Barthel picked up her first WTA championship at the Moorilla. That had been her only other finals appearance.
Vesnina, unseeded in the tournament, defeated fourth-seeded Yaroslava Shvedova and No. 2-seed Sloane Stephens in getting to the final against Barthel, the No. 9 seed.
Vesnina won five consecutive games at one point, going from 2-3 in the first set to taking the set and jumping ahead 1-0 in the second. She ended up with five breaks that offset the two games she dropped serve. Vesnina won 60 percent of the points on serve and 50 percent off Barthel's serve.
"I feel such relief right now. Honestly I just want to cry," Vesnina said. "I was a little nervous before the final but in general I felt good during the match. I just told myself, 'This is my time -- I just have to do it and if I get a chance, take it.'
"I didn't feel any pressure. I enjoyed all the other finals I've been in, I just lost to really good players. But it finally worked out for me. I've been waiting for this for a long time."
Vesnina's first-place check was for $40,000 and Barthel received $20,000 for finishing second.

Horizons: Global Market Turmoil, It's All Connected
Financial turmoil over the past few weeks has offered a stark reminder of how interconnected the world's economic and financial systems have become, and the need for more global policy cooperation. Horizon's Michael Casey discusses on MoneyBeat. Photo: Getty Images.

... in mm mm ... financial turmoil over the past few weeks is offered a stark reminder of how interconnected the world's economic and financial systems have become ... and the need for more global policy cooperation ... Wall Street Journal columnist Michael Casey is here with his take on the situation ... by that sort of in Ohio the latest is so ... obviously was sourced from other emerging markets that spilled over into the U S U S stock markets have been jittery over the past few weeks all twenty fourteen really ... what do you think things happen right now but the popular view that as soon as I drove home along the lines of thought that was the focus to an angry response I have been in the Fed's key design of the US that that ... that the fundamental reality is that we live in a interconnected will let you never have before ... and if it is like going off the Wilson to but ... that doesn't mean we knew this device unit that had been on anti warning that the the fifth of August that he says the time to policy in my mind ... with a very narrow if you wanted domestic concerns ... I think that fit the fine not that the information in emerging markets last week ... because this is the reality and the thing is ... that they might have talked about in the new lessons learned and put in there so I'm certainly in the size of a citizen's right that we have focused on one thing and I think they need to get the message that we should be ... we understand that what we do here has profound implications for the rest the one of the best ... happily obvious ... the other sets of bankers saying around the globe ... for the Mitcham opted ... to banks to be done here needs to be ... the ones who are on the receiving a lot of this ... city back ... at the beginning of the year when they knew that tapering was coming off its online ... please do this to come in way that that that takes on a lot about concerns ... because the reality is that they ... really did contribute to the law to deny us ... to this the run-up in a season these biases ... cities ... speculation that property markets to support that happened unit unit in the previous two years before this ... I wonder that is is the key reason why Iraq is seen as a synchronized activity ... he will talk about the use of its isolated Rush's is that is often made of it owns the unity The precisely because of what happened with the Fed also the BOJ only of sentiment ... has been one of the stimulus is that ... Larry most of those problems was this ... universal ... liquidity effect and as was all around whining and as usual the house elves are being caught up and where we're feeling the effects like this the question of course is what can happen now what's next year ... you see markets around the globe seen their ... connectedness ... what can I think that this is ... possibly things that can be done along the lines of what ... happened during the previous passes the window at that point the second is that it has shown it is the isthe today with currency swaps ... various other agreements ... either they should change what to do it and ... I think you might be it was a mistake in the first place to built up a level thirty in the June half to one one that ... but but as I go about making and doing the missus and I there are various things they could you do to try to ... make shore that ... you know these these innocent bystanders if you wanna call that ... I somehow fell down again currency swaps various other ... messages of support to stay with this that that that the language trying to suggest that the Fed is keeping its finances its leverage is very important of course so I guess the question now though is that ... you know what we've seen these ... small to situations and ... in nations like humans unlike Turkey unlike South Africa in their cars is just taken a huge huge hit here ... and it is going to be more in line with our currency slots or or whatever ... you know is there anything else that can happen that would soar to stem the tide here from all this for moments building up ... it is necessary to have to go through it but I mean ... going through it I guess that's the question is like Stanley's bring it back to the USU is the Dow's down about seven percent from its record high ... going through it does that mean if it seems that twenty percent thirty percent correction or is it just sort of a little blip on the screen I think that's the risk not good news is that this is not just for today ... was interesting here is that this is the connected right business right now is very difficult so that the last time an agenda ... the impact that will put this in ninety seven ... that that was because hedge funds were heavily leveraged ... he was also because the Sentra banks didn't have enough is the difficulties ... that alternatives we have now is in my mind into something ... that should be more stable is in fact more scary and that is the real economy is more integrated ... we had ... massive massive capital flows have gone from its emerging markets we got out of an economy of a manufacturing base ... or are out ... I see the color me dependable exports imports from these countries ... so what is it isn't easy to use as rude as emerging markets ... it's a very good situations and stable that scare us largess that use the criticism in the festival and that is the most stifling Michael Casey thank so much for joining us

Sandor Alexander Bokshorn
Born: January 4, 1912
Budapest, Hungary
Sandor grew up in Budapest where his father was a furrier. Sandor attended a Jewish school until he was 14 and then entered a business school run by the chamber of commerce. After he graduated in 1929, he entered his father's business. Sandor then spent a year studying at the Sorbonne in Paris before entering university in Budapest to study economics.
1933-39: As a Jew, I was in the minority at the university because anti-Jewish laws enacted in the 1920s had set quotas that limited Jewish applicants. When I was 23, and had finished my coursework and just had my doctoral dissertation to write, I resumed working for my father's business. I had no choice, really; because I was Jewish there was little chance for me to get a job in my field.
1940-44: In 1940 the first Jewish men were drafted by the Hungarian army as conscript labor; for three months I did farm work and drained swampland. Two years later, in 1942, the same year I finished my doctorate in economics, I was drafted for conscript labor again. In 1944 the Hungarian army sent me to the Russian front to build bunkers and dig trenches. After retreating, I was captured by the Soviets. We Jews had been conscripted for hard labor by one side, and then punished as enemy prisoners by the other.
Sandor was sent by the Soviets to POW camps, first in the Carpathians and then in Ukraine. After the war, he returned to Budapest.

We all know how confusing anti-aging skin care products can be. Every company promises that their product is the solution. And honestly, who really has the time or money to purchase and try every single product on the market? Not me! Some of them don't work at all, and the ones that do can take weeks or months to make a visible difference. On top of that, they're pretty expensive too!
The solution to this dilemma is to take a close look at the actual ingredients contained in each anti-aging product. Instead of making a decision based on marketing hype, choose to trust only those products that actually contain key anti-aging ingredients.
We all want smoother, firmer skin and a more youthful glow. Choosing the right skin care products is the best place to start.
Here are some key ingredients to look for:
Retinol (Vitamin A) is one of the most effective anti aging ingredients used in skin creams and lotions. The acid form of retinol is tretinoin. Retinol is extremely effective in reducing lines and wrinkles and improving skin texture. Be sure to protect your skin from sunlight with a daily SPF product, as retinol can increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight.
Niacin (Vitamin B3) has recently been shown to activate sirtuins, a chemical in our body that has anti-aging properties.
Vitamin C or Ascorbic acid is another commonly used anti-aging ingredient in skin care. Vitamin C is proven to reduce wrinkles and activate skin's natural collagen, making it much more elastic.
Vitamin E has been called the "ultimate anti-aging ingredient" by many people. It has been used for years to improve skin's texture and to prevent wrinkles.
Licorice Extract helps to reduce and prevent age spots. It is proven to improve skin tone and evenness.
Omega Acids, including Omega 3 (fish oil) and Omega 6, are powerful anti aging skin care ingredients as they are extremely effective in moisturizing the skin. Not only are omega acids effective in reducing wrinkles and lines, but they can be used early on to prevent them and keep skin looking younger, longer.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are wonderfully effective exfoliants that slough away dead cells on the skin's surface to expose younger, healthier looking skin. Of all the ingredients in anti-aging products, this is a great one for cell turnover and skin renewal.
Beta-Hydroxy Acids (more commonly known as salicylic acids) are a peeling agent. These too are effective in exposing healthier skin below the surface by removing old, dead skin cells. Both alpha- and beta-hydroxy acids are also quite effective in the treatment of acne and discoloration.
Jojoba oil is wonderful for women with sensitive skin and is effective in reducing find lines and wrinkles as well as making the skin much more soft and supple. Don't let the word "oil" scare you off – it is actually a wax and does not promote acne or clog pores.
Grapeseed oil is a moisturizing ingredient that contains many antioxidants which help promote skin's firmness and elasticity.
Always, always remember that anti-aging cream ingredients are much more important than any advertisement or marketing scheme. Looking back, you'll be glad you didn't waste your money on an inferior product.

Reaching altitudes much like the beleaguered bees they admire, Aiden Wood and Saylor Sundby, both 9, are channeling their youthful energy into more than just trampolines.
The dynamic duo of junior scientists, assisted in spirit by Sundby's younger sibling Ritter, 6, are leading a local movement to support a very important member of Hood River's agricultural community.
Apias Mellifera: the common honey bee.
"We got inspired by watching the movie 'Queen of the Sun,'" said Sundby of the pair's recent educational exploration of local and national challenges facing the number one pollinator for agricultural crops.
The boys, fired up with concern, are taking responsibility for sharing their bee knowledge with fellow Hood River citizens through an upcoming Earth Day film and workshop presentation at the Columbia Center for the Arts on April 22 (see sidebar, page A11 for info.).
"Yeah; a couple of months ago, we realized there was a big crisis going on with bees - with pesticides ..." said Wood.
"And Varroa mites ..." added Sundby.
"And tracheal mites ..." Wood interjected.
"And big areas of land planted in one crop called mono-cultures," concluded Sundby.
The two bounce information between them like superb tennis players in a heated battle; each burning with energy and urgency.
"The mono-cultures mean that bees have only one type of food to eat and so their immune systems are more vulnerable to diseases, pesticides and mites," added Wood.
It is hard to believe the information that is flying comes from boys just finishing fourth grade. Yet, while they race from tree-climbing to bug-scouting in the backyard of Wood's Hood River home during our talk, the boys' focus remains clear when it comes to bees.
"Because they are nature's pollinators," said Wood with earnest concern, "without them plants couldn't reproduce. Herbavores wouldn't have anything to eat, and carnivores wouldn't have anything to eat. We'd starve."
"All we'd have are a few cereals and nuts," corrected Sundby.
"Because they don't need bee pollination. They can pollinate with wind movement," agreed Wood.
Sundby and Wood have been actively seeking out more information on bees since their first awakening to the challenges the tiny insect species faces and the repercussions shared by bee-dependent humans.
The two have conducted an hour-long interview with OSU entomologist Ramesh Sagili, a top bee specialist studying the health of Oregon bees. They learned about cutting-edge research, just released last month, pointing to a special class of a nuero-active pesticide particularly deadly to bees - neonicotinoids - which strongly connects the substance to the worldwide Colony Collapse Disorder crisis now under way.
The boys also toured the entomology lab at the university and talked with other students in training - something they may consider for their own futures.
"It was pretty cool," the two said in unison as they pointed into some captive pond water, identifying an insect predator of their pollywog houseguests.
The pair had a long list of actions that anyone can take to help bees in their struggle to survive, beginning with some very specific advice to other youngsters with a unanimous command, "Don't squish'em!"
"My friend was fond of going out to the field of the school on his lunch break and collecting bees to kill them," said Aiden.
"People could really help by not being mean to bees," said Saylor. "Ninety-five of our crops depend on bees for pollination."
The duo ended their interview expressing their hope that many people would join them in learning how to get involved, and begin by coming to view the film on April 22.
The full list of proactive steps created by the boys as advice for bee-lovers:
Stop using pesticides
Use natural beekeeping methods (Warre hive)
Become a backyard beekeeper
Buy local, and organic
Plant a variety of flowers in your garden that provide bees food throughout the blooming season
Keep a sustainable water source like a bowl of water with rocks in it in your yard
Do not use weed killer
Ask the EPA to regulate chemicals
Protect the bees - don't squish!

HOXIE - Curtis Lamb still remembers following the U.S. Army onto the beaches of Normandy on D-Day as a medical sergeant.
"It was a bad night, the ships were rocking," Lamb said. "That whole beach was covered in dead soldiers. ... It was terrible."
Lamb and other medical soldiers went onto the beach and cut dog tags off the fallen soldiers. Lamb said the Army had to bury many of the soldiers on the beach, unable to bring them back home.
When he came back from the war after serving for four years in France, Italy and North Africa, Lamb said he tried to cut off any thoughts and memories about what he'd seen. He went back to work on a farm, like his father before him, and started growing cotton and raising children with his wife, Lillie Mae.
On Wednesday, Lamb turned 100, joining others in his family who either came close to or achieved the milestone.
"They say, 'You're going to be 100,' like that's a big deal," Lamb said. "I don't feel any worse or better today than I did a year ago."
Lamb grew up in the Oak Hill community near Sedgwick with his 10 siblings, and spent his childhood helping his dad farm. When he was growing up, Lamb said farms were managed by one or two mules and one or two men, nothing close to the large farms of today.
Lamb still remembers the first time his mother saw an airplane.
"My mother took me out to the garden and laid me under the apple tree," Lamb said. "She saw an airplane coming and picked me up."
Before being drafted into the war, he went to a Civilian Corps Camp in Black Canyon, Idaho, where he learned to build fences for livestock.
"I didn't know a thing in the world," Lamb said.
The experience he gained at the camp helped him in the Army, Lamb said. Lamb went to a GI school in Oak Hill after he got back from the war, and after graduating, got into farming.
Lamb farmed 30 acres, and also raised geese, cattle and beagles. For 40 years, Lamb raised the same kind of beagles, which helped him farm and hunt, one of his greatest passions.
"The good Lord made hunting season just for me," Lamb said.
"He'd rather hunt than eat," Lamb's daughter, Debbie Reithmeyer, said.
Lamb built his home on the farm in 1960 and said he never had a key. He lived at that country home until about four years ago, when he moved into his apartment in Hoxie.
When he was younger, Lamb said Walnut Ridge and Jonesboro were comparable in size. The massive expansion of Jonesboro is just one of the many changes Lamb said he's seen in his 100 years, spent mostly in Lawrence County.
All of Lamb's family still lives close, Reithmeyer said. Lillie Mae died in November 2017. Together, the couple had three children, five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.
"She was a straight country girl, but she was a good one," Lamb said of his wife.
Life has taught Lamb to not panic in times of trouble, he said.
"I learned to meet crises head-on," Lamb said.
Lamb said he's most proud of loving his family and his children. None of his children have ever given him any problems, he said.
Reithmeyer said Lamb has been a great dad.
"He never condemns you, never gets onto you," Reithmeyer said.
Lamb said he doesn't feel guilty about anything in his life, except maybe his habit of chewing tobacco, which started when he was 7 years old. Even at 100, Lamb is still trying to change bad habits and improve his life.
"I'm not proud of that, but I'm trying to quit," Lamb said.

Sounds fishy to me, mate! WHich European country? Europeans do not have the attitude that New Worlders display - travelling around the world and having others pay for your needs in their countries! If a European quits his or her job he or she invariably faces some hardship upon returning from Asia because there is a huge gap in their CV. To claim having taught English overseas is not a selling point. European English teachers don't trek to Siberia or Afghanistan in search of work, and if they do they are adventurers that end up as journalists or handimen in a forwarding company. European English teachers spend a lifetime teaching at the same college or university or at least working for the same education system. There. I don't want to sound sarcastic, but there are more than one unbelievable ingredients in your story!

" But then, on this topic, you wrote the following: " Europeans do not have the attitude that New Worlders display - travelling around the world and having others pay for your needs in their countries!

Even as a certificated secondary school teacher you will find problems getting back into mainstream education in the UK. Jobs teaching EFL in college are mainly given to women on a part-time basis.

The possibility of obtaining a teaching cert from a commercial outfit that sells them to anyone who nominally enrols for one month to half a year is virtually unheard-of in Europe. Teachers there study at universities, and most of them who become teachers devote themselves to a lifetime of teaching as civil servants.

Dear Roger, You didn't offend my feelings - and the original poster's remarks really had nothing to do with my point. That, by the way, was - how odd it was for you to berate another poster for making a derogatory generalization, and then, the next day, for you to do the same thing. I see no difference between his remark, which you called a " . . . rude and totally uncalled-for swipe at Canadians and South Africans. " and your remark about " New Worlders ".

I think this implies that there is discrimination against men but in my opinion it is just that many can't or won't take the part time work initially on offer. But getting work shouldn't be a problem: I work in FE and at the moment as a mature career changer from IT only have the CELTA. Also I am the only person on the staff who _hasn't_ worked abroad, so I don't think that is the issue. Perhaps there is also a fear that the recruit will not stay long before disappearing off to foreign parts again. Not sure I could afford this field though, if I hadn't already paid off the mortgage.

There is a definite attitude in the UK that abroad is for fun, and in the UK people do real work, go doon t'mill and eat up all their greens You know the attitude: "Ah, so you were in Soria in Spain. How nice to escape the English winter. Could you sunbathe in December?" [you could if you kept the fur coat on!] However there are other things to thnk of. If you have spent ten years abroad teaching TEFL in language, this will give you ten years experience in a job teaching TEFL in language schools and this is not a great career choice in the UK or US since most people don't need TEFL lessons and there is no shortage of people to teach them. Iif you spent ten yeare teaching in intenational schools then you have ten years useful experience if you want to teach in an independetn school in the UK. If you want to teach in a State school you will come up agaisnt the semi-permeable membrane that exists between independent schools and state schools. So, in your case, if you were a trrained teacher when you left the UK you can squeeze back in just under where you were when you left, as long as schools are in firing as opposed to firing mode. It always amazes me that so many people think that teaching EFL abroad qualifies them for anything else than more of the same. You wouldn't expect to "walk into a good job" if you had just spent the last ten years in the Welsh mountains growing pot and counting sheep, so why did you expect to do so because you had spent the last ten years doing nothing relevant in more distant climes. What kind of "good job" did you expect to walk into? As for your friends who are now working for less than a "good EFL salary", what were they doing before they left? Even supply teaching pays better than most overseas EFL salaries. Or did they go into EFL straight from college? The only asset a new graduate has to offer an employer is poteintial. Spend more than a year bummng around abroad and you've blown it.

I live in Southern Spain. I speak fluent Spanish, and have also non-Teaching experience in Marketing and Import/Export. A friend of mine, spent Ten years in China, before it returning to Spain. He speaks fluent Chinese/Spanish/English and Japanese. Considering over 90% of Imports in this area, are from China. He expected a need for his skills. He choose the wrong option of returning, as he worked as a Manager in Shanghai for a large trading Company. But is forced to stay here, because of family reasons. One year on, nothing. So he is working in the local slaughterhouse, when local business people struggle with the language, and cultural differences of doing business with China. I also agree with some comments regarding attitudes of people living in the UK. But believe, living in a closed, and xenophobic Nationalistic society has created them. Hence, they fear anyone who questions this antiquated and ignorant attitude.

Your mate has done well to get a job in the local slaughterhouse. Plenty of Andalucians will envy him. Whe are the local businessmen where you are, struggling with the difficulties of doing business with China? You know them personally and have spoken to them and they still don't want your advice and services? Or are you simply imagining their existence. Why do you think such a large proportion of imports to where you are, are from China. Hasn't it ocurred to you that it might be because there is very little money around so people only buy the cheapest. What proportion of the importing is done through the Chinese diaspora, or through the Lebanese or Palestinian or Indian worldwide trading communities. In Spain you are likely to be viewed as a teacher and nothing else. And anyway, why should they take you for marketing when they can get much younger Spaniards with MBA's from the States. I know the situation because I was in it myself. I speak fluent Spanish and flient Catalan (I actually have the requisite qualification in Catalan to take a government job) but the only time I was offered a job in Catalunya was a couple of years after I left when I was living in Saudi and a guy I had helped with his computer problems wanted me to come over to Barcelona to interview for a computing job at the multinational he had just been made Managing Director of the Spanish branch of.

I also agree that parts of Spain can be very poor, and have high unemployment. The area I live in is a wealthly part of Spain. House prices are higher than in better areas of Madrid, and most Spanish families have more than one Car. Foreign investment to this area is very high, many foreigners chose to live or invest in property here. Over 10 Million Tourists visit the area every year. No Country is poor nor rich. There are wealthly areas in every Country, and poor areas in developed Countries. I heard of Teachers earning over $20 ph in Cambodia, so why not Spain?. The majority of Spanish here, don´t have a knowledge of English. Yet, the majority of jobs here are with the booming Tourist Trade. So, I am mystified to why, language schools are closing down here, and demand for Teachers is declining. Given the fact, I found Cambodians and Lao people better conversed in English. In my experience, Foreigners are at the best Second class citizens, at the worst Immigrants to be taken advantage off. Looking at the local Job advertisements, Romanians are prefered over other EU Citizens, especially the women. There are more advertisements for European women to work in the brothels than in restaurants. Local businesses deal with foreigners, often over big property deals. Yet, they prefer to hire locals with no foreign experience, over foreigners with more experience. Locals earn more, even if you speak the local language well. I know the answer to Why I can´t get adequate employment in my area. But I post this topic as a warning to anyone, leaving a good Teaching job, to return "home", and discover that it was a costly mistake.

Tornado touches down in Pass-a-Grille | News
Pass-a-Grille, Florida -- Trees and power lines are down after a tornado barrelled through Pass-a-Grille Sunday evening.
The St. Pete Beach fire marshal tells 10 News that luckily, no deaths have been reported from the tornado touchdown. One woman was injured when a roof collapsed on top of her, but she is reportedly going to be fine.
We've also learned a house owned by an elderly couple had its roof torn off. The 86 and 87-year-old husband and wife plan to stay with a neighbor for Sunday night.
Home video shot by 10 News viewer Lawrence Free shows the tornado pass by shortly after 8 p.m. Sunday. Click here to watch their video. Warning: Some graphic language.
Progress Energy has shut down power in the area, due to the risk of downed power lines. Crews will be out Monday morning to fully survey the damage.

Hey guys, I've been at Laika for the last month and a half or so, I'm planning to stay with them till March 31. After that... hmm, I might be finding myself in a familiar place again. Maybe. Right now though, I am working on the stop-motion animation film "Coraline", directed by Henry Sellick. It comes out in 2009 so be sure to watch it then! Youtube has some trailers/leaked stuff on it.
How are you all doing? It's cold up here but getting warmer.
*Whoops scratch that, I'm probably going to be staying up here till the end of April. And then hopefully I will find myself somewhere familiar again!

The lavish hospital executive suite where Beyonce gave birth is a lot cheaper than you think ... at least it's a lot cheaper than we thought.
An official at Lenox Hill Hospital in NYC tells TMZ ... there are 7 suites in the VIP section where Beyonce gave birth. Each executive suite costs between $700 and $800 a night.
We're told the suites have "reconfigurable designs." Translation -- the dividing walls are movable so the VIPs can expand into more than one suite.
In Beyonce's case, the official wouldn't be specific, but we're told she had at least 4 suites -- which could explain the 4 flat-screen TVs. So Beyonce probably paid $3,200 a night -- she can afford it.
We're told any patient can use the rooms, provided it satisfies the needs and treatment of the patient.
The official indicated there has been intense interest in the suites, repeatedly telling us patients can book them subject to availability.

Job shop and machine shop specialties are limited-scale manufacturing, including prototyping and single unit production or "one offs." Margins can be very thin, so successful firms balance their time spent on manufacturing with time on maintaining inventory and fostering customer relationships.
Job shop software is essentially an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with a limited scope. In fact, it's is often part of ERP if the shop is a small part of a larger organization. Broadly speaking, the system is used to automate many of the tracking and scheduling duties within the company.
A prime requirement for job and machine shops is manufacturing resource planning (MRP), the system that schedules the manufacturing of each customer's order. Inventory and order entry are important and must be integrated with the MRP system, particularly with the pipeline management system.
Screenshot of E2 Shop System scheduling whiteboard
Contract manufacturing is a relationship-based businesses. As such, owners should use customer relationship management (CRM) to track sales history and to market opportunities targeted at specific customers. Strictly speaking, payroll is standard. However, one of the resources tracked by MRP is worker time spent per work order. This allows owners and managers to measure the profitability of each employee.
General ledger, accounts payable and accounts receivable are standard. Most job shop manufacturing systems are installed on premises. The computerization and networking of tools and the associated costs means that most of the infrastructure to support job shop scheduling software is already in place, negating the hardware cost arguments for cloud-based installations.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is Job and Machine Shop Software?
Common Features of Job and Machine Shop Software
Market Trends to Understand
Job and machine shop software provide necessary, real-time data that is related to manufacturing and other operations, such as job scheduling, finance, estimations, employees, sales, materials, engineering, job accounting and job management. They also provide job data related to competitors, vendors, customers, marketplace and the overall supply chain.
A job and machine shop solution helps manufacturing units reduce waste, enhance productivity and improve the bottom line. The solution helps users meet the specific requirements of job shops that cannot always be achieved using traditional manufacturing solutions.
In addition to core business functions, it's important to evaluate the following functions to meet the company's unique requirements:
|Pipeline management
|Balances jobs against the available resources, checks inventory and prepares orders for materials. Advanced systems also factor in cost and price, prioritizing the most profitable production.
|Customer sales monitoring
|Compares each customer's historic sales to recent sales to gauge trends. Also, enables supports customer sales incentives.
|Job estimating
|Evaluates required time, materials, machines and personnel to perform a job. Calculates costs and profit. Advance systems can substitute resources and optimize for time or profit.
|Make/buy reporting
|Applies estimating to subassemblies to evaluate whether it's more profitable to make or buy components. Advanced systems will factor in time to build or buy as well as cost.
|Process planning reporting
|Helps plan and document each step in fabrication for accurate estimating and job tracking. The process planning reports track the development of the process plan for each contract.
|Material supplier planning
|Assists in the make/buy process by helping material suppliers assign a bill of materials to each subassembly. Allows make/buy decisions to be based on current market prices for material and labor for each estimate.
|Fabrication scheduling
|Supports dynamic scheduling fabrication process, changing as different jobs finish late or early and as materials arrive in inventory. Also allows schedules to be reprioritized.
|Customer delivery scheduling
|Helps streamline flows of shipping/delivery/pick up for efficient fabrication process. Includes transit time and adjustable slack time.
|Slipped/late jobs reporting
|Tracks and reports job status through the entire process from estimation to delivery. Advanced systems will have a dashboard that signals management as soon as a job slips past a defined threshold.
|Work load planning
|Helps managers adjust the work load to leverage the most expensive equipment to depreciate or minimize usage of the most expensive to run. Also helps manage employee work loads, taking into account workers' preferences.
|Scrap reporting
|Provides efficient tracking to minimize the amount of scrap by planning production to make the most efficient use of material. Also helps tracks recyclable scrap through to resale to the scrap yard.
|Engineering change management
|Tracks engineering changes and their impact on delivery date and profit on the project. It should also be easy to enter the changes into the system so that the changes can flow to other projects and the overall schedule.
In the past several years, many major trends have influenced the manner in which job shops operate in the manufacturing sector, and will continue to impact in the future. New technologies, such as advanced robotics, data analytics and mobile devices will enable small job shops to compete with larger enterprises that have state-of-the-art infrastructure.
To keep up with the latest developments, job shops must be aware of the key trends:
Fully digital supply chain. The digitization of operations in a supply chain is about to become obligatory, leaving no scope for paper-based work. In this situation, paperwork is unacceptable in even the smallest of job shops. An all-digital supply chain increases productivity and efficiency and minimizes the chance of errors.
Artificial intelligence and predictive analytics. The back office requires a finer and better grasp of the big picture for uninterrupted operation. Many low-cost analytics platforms in the market quickly gather data in the warehouse, on the shop floor and through customer communications. This information is then assessed through predictive analytics to shape various supply orders for the upcoming months. It also helps predict which machine is likely to fail soon and which customers to pursue in the immediate term.
Augmented reality. A few years ago, the concept of augmented reality services, such as Google Glass, was in hype but it vanished quickly due to the high price of these services and devices. However, the concept has great potential. In the coming years, the cost of wearable hardware linked to such concepts is expected to reach a more realistic level. It will create plenty of opportunities in inventory management and enable quicker response to overall processes and operations on the job shop floor.
Our service is simple and 100% free to customers like you because software vendors pay us when we connect them with quality leads. You save time and get great advice. Vendors get great referrals. It's a win for everyone!

Hungry holiday travelers at Baltimore-Washington Thurgood Marshall International Airport can find a healthful meal there but may be better off bringing their own food, a study released Monday suggested.
More than 75 percent of the restaurants at BWI serve up at least some low-fat, cholsterol-free meals, according to the study by the nonprofit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine based in Washington. But the airport's score hasn't improved much over the past four years it has been included in the annual study.
The 2012 Airport Food Review evaluated menus at 18 of the nation's busiest airports and found that, overall, airports are becoming more healthful places to eat. The group reported that 76 percent of airport restaurants now offer dining options that include fresh vegetables, fruits, grains and vegetarian items like tofu, compared with 57 percent that did in its initial survey in 2001.
Newark Liberty International Airport scored the highest in the study, with 92 percent of its restaurants offering healthful choices.The lowest score went to Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, with 58 percent of eateries offering such options.
Although BWI maintained its standing from last year's study and is tied with Los Angeles International, its score is near the bottom, along with Reagan National Airport at 69 percent and Atlanta, both of which, the study noted, offered too many high-fat items like hot dogs, burgers and pizza.
From June to November, dietitians for the study reviewed restaurant menus from the airports. Scores were determined by dividing the number of restaurants offering at least one healthful option by the total number of restaurants. Snack food kiosks and coffee shops were not included in the review.
A restaurant was rated as "healthful" if it served at least one low-fat, high-fiber, cholesterol-free entree for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The report found 29 out of 38 restaurants at BWI offer healthful choices, particularly noting the oatmeal with soy milk at Jamba Juice, the No-Meato Burrito at California Tortilla and the portobello stir-fry with tofu at the Silver Diner.
Susan Levin, director of nutrition education for the Physicians Committee, said BWI has been consistent over the past four years it has been included in the study. While she generally believes the safest bet for travelers is to bring their own food for a trip, Levin said the offerings at airports — and even train stations — are improving.
"Food is getting better. You're seeing more variety and more menu items that look like some of the fanciest gourmet menus that you would find on Food Network. Whereas many years ago, it was grab-and-go meals, fine dining is becoming an option more often. You can get a salad with arugula, mixed veggies, beans and a nice vinegar dressing. You can find grilled tofu and edamame."
If you don't bring your own food, you can at least control what's in it. To do so, Levin recommends travelers at BWI consider going with Mexican fare offered at restaurants like Zona Mexicana and Peppers Mexican Grill.
"If you can find a Mexican restaurant, then you can make your own burrito that is high in fiber… with beans, rice, corn, salsa, tomatoes, maybe a little guacamole," she said.
And while the trendy frozen yogurt shop Pinkberry, which offers fresh fruit and nuts as toppings, opened recently between Concourses A and B, Levin said the outfit was not included in the study because it doesn't offer entrees.
"BWI Marshall remains committed to offering travelers a wide variety of fresh, healthy food options," said airport spokesman Jonathan Dean, who pointed out more new eateries that have opened in recent months, including Market Fresh and Nature's Kitchen Fresh Cafe.
"These are all new concessions that have opened in recent months," he said. "They all provide passengers with healthy options."

Alapash Terrariums: Glass Gardens for Small Spaces
Chicago-based Marco Chavarry creates tiny terrariums from succulents, moss, stones, and personal objects. While there are tons of Etsy shops and garden stores selling similar stuff, Marco's feel unique in the sense that they're more like little shrines than purely decorative objects.
Small Buddhas, Ganesh statues, or tin soldiers are hidden inside some, while others have tiny stone paths laid in the base of the glass.
Marco explains the store name: "Some time ago, back home in Peru, a friend and I used to go through wonderful magazines filled with amazing pictures of places all around the world. These pictures were like little windows, escapes from the everyday routine, which would transport us to places of pure tranquility, and luxury. We called these places and moments "alapash."
Most of the terrariums run around $30, although there are more expensive ones as well. Care instructions are very simple — just mist with water every week and a tiny bit of fertilizer in the spring, keep them in a spot with indirect sunlight, and remove dead leaves when you see them.
Marco's site isn't yet set up for online ordering — to purchase, pick your terrarium from the web gallery, then phone or email your order in.

text: Disney and Pixar have moved the release date for Cars 2 to Summer 2011 from 2012. While no reason was given for the change, we're guessing the filmmakers' trend consultants forecasted cars in general going out of fashion the following year. Brad Lewis (Antz, Ratatouille) will be directing the film, which will take inspiration from cars that John Lasseter (Pixar's chief creative officer) saw while doing the round-the-world promotional tour for the original film. Can't wait 'till then for a taste of annoyingly cute anthropomorphic vehicles? There are a series of "Cars Toons" coming both to theaters and the Disney Channel in the near future. [via IMDB] Thanks for the tip, Jack!
