She did such a good job of putting her memories down on paper and added many of the little details about her parents: James William Harvey and Fannie Lee Harvey that made them come to life from the pages. Her siblings: Elmer, Myrtle, James, Earl, and Mary all played important roles in her life and are fondly recalled in her memories. I hope everyone has enjoyed reading about a little bit of the history of Wyoming as told through the recollections of Ruth.
Part three of Ruth's memories and poetry:
Could I but walk again the paths of yesterday
Would they be the same or would they have changed?
My childhood footsteps blown away or are they still there
Among the flowers as I ran along that day?
Would trail herds still come up the hill
From ranches near LaGrange or are these, too, dust?
Do saddles still hang on the old corral
And cowboys still sing in the bunkhouse there?
For these were the boys of the old frontier
Clayton and Henry and Sharkey, too.
A cowboy named Curley who was the best
At story telling…I see him yet.
Sixty years have passed since then, and things
Would not be the same for all are blown away
In the wind.
We had very few Christmases at our house but one year mother said we could get a tree, provided we got a pine tree as she didn't like the smell of cedar. So Earl and I went after a tree. We then had nothing to trim it with, but Myrtle had sent a box and there were handkerchiefs for all, so we draped them over the bunches of needles. For me she had made a sewing box out of cardboard covered with green flannel with needles and pins in the underside of the lid and a little pair of shears. How pretty it was and very neatly made. One other year she sent me a doll which I had until after I was married and the children broke it. I don't think our mother ever had time to make a gift with seven of us to look after. One Christmas the folks gave me a sled.
I remember a time mother and I sat under a pine tree along the rim of the canyon and the wind sang in the tree tip. My mother began to cry and I asked why and she told me she was sad…had to leave her home State of Iowa, her friends, her married daughter, and the grave in the cemetery in which our baby sister, Dora, had been placed. She never did get to see that grave again. She was so sad it's no wonder I remember so well the sighing of the wind.
|James William Harvey and Fannie Lee Harvey, the parents of Leila Ruth Harvey Douglass, our Poetess
Along about then, Elmer decided he wanted to buy a steam plow and do plowing for others to help pay for it. He went to Denver and bought a large outfit which cost a lot of money. He also had to hire extra help to run it. Then the Andersons decided to buy their own as they had so much land under cultivation and they too, plowed for others so this cut the profit Elmer had counted on making. He still owed quite a bit on it and soon came in danger of losing the whole thing so Ed came to the rescue and sold his place to finish paying for the steam plow. That ended the time of the steam plow and last I knew, it was sitting in a field, a pile of rusted metal.
Once when the men were moving the big steam engine, John Adcock wouldn't let them cross on any of his land, causing them to have to go along the edge of a deep canyon with danger to themselves as well as the machine. When Mother found that out, she was mad and she said "you just wait. He'll want a favor some time". And sure enough, one day he came to get her to go help them with a new baby and sickness and my mother said "No". This was very unusual, for my mother went where ever she was needed and many babies were brought into this life by her and without any Doctor.
I don't know if I have told of the wild flowers in the canyons. There were harebells of blue, sego lilies, a sand cherry that was about the size of a man's thumb. They grew close to the ground and had blossoms like plums. The cherries tasted like chokecherries, only sweeter. Another flower grew about eighteen or twenty inches tall and had light green leaves which would stick onto your dress without a pin. These flowers were white, a white poppy that you couldn't pick due to the white milk that ran out of the stems and was very sticky. One bank was covered with fern and we called it "Fern Bank". Mary and I used to sit there in the shade. A turtledove had her nest close by.
She never was there much only to lay an egg and hatch one bird, then that little bird hatched the rest of the eggs she had laid. A modern day babysitter. She never was afraid of us. In draws where water would run after a rain, nearly always we could find yellow sweet peas. There were ground cherries, too, but they always grew where you didn't want them. Once we had a very hard rain and hail, water ran deep in all the draws and into the canyons. After several days I heard a loud noise and the edge of the canyon had caved off. It was a good thing I wasn't there looking over the edge.

'The Canyons of Wyoming'
The incredible stillness in the canyon depths is only broken by
The soft songs of unseen birds or a few pebbles, falling from some
crevice to the floor below.
Beneath the protection of overhanging ledges the ancient ones who
lived here so long ago walk again through these canyons. Near
the spring of soft, cooling water the smoke from cooking fires
rose upward to mingle with the white clouds that drifted
overhead, proof that this quiet and peaceful place was once
populated with dreamers such as me.
I Love you, canyons of Wyoming…….
Over yonder butte black clouds form with distant lightning and thunder.
Sheets of rain are falling and prairies are running deep with water.
The distant roar tells that it is dashing down through the canyons
in its race to the floor below, only to disappear into the sand.
As suddenly as they came, the storm clouds vanish
and the sun emerges to guild every blade of grass,
every pine tree with fairy jewels. Birds sing again,
white clouds float across the sky to fade away into the distance.
I Love you, canyons of Wyoming…….
In the coolness of the evening, soft winds blow and a million
stars blossom in the skies…seems we merely need reach up to
touch them. The call of a night bird and sounds of coyotes in
the far distance breaks the stillness. Where once I roamed there
is now lonely emptiness and the stillness is only broken by my
I Love You, Canyons of Wyoming
We had quite a few horses by now…some good ones and some not so good. One big black that was Elmer's never could be counted on for he might do anything. Once he rose up in the air and almost hit me as he came down. He did hit a little fluffy duck of mother's and that big old hoof flattened the duck out as thin as paper. Old Dan broke his leg going through a deep snow drift and had to be shot. Ed had a beautiful brown mare he was keeping to raise colts and someone stole her and we never did find her. Ed had a horse named Frank, too, that we could ride or drive. He never could be trusted either! Elmer bought a big black stallion named Rex and we liked to watch him run in circles around Elmer on a long chain. Earl didn't have much of these things and left home to take a homestead near Slater, Wyoming where he got his start. Ed also left and located near Earl. Ed had married Helen Douglass and Earl married Hilda Larson. Elmer married Lou Edminston.
I have, no doubt, missed many of the things that should be written about. We could still find buffalo skulls on the prairies, we could tell the difference by the shape and the short horns. There were no antelope or deer around by 1904 and the men used to go over north of "Old 66" to hunt them.
Uncle Pete killed a deer with a single shot Winchester rifle, 44 caliber, and he was probably a hundred yards away. He missed the first shot and the deer ran over to the canyons southwest of where we lived. Pete, Ed Anderson and his brother, followed it and killed it about a mile west of John McMann's house. The second shot hit the horn and the deer turned around and came right back by Uncle Pete, which gave him time to reload that single shot rifle and the third shot he got him right through the heart. That was the last deer that was ever seen in the country around Albin.
I remember my Grandpa Lee. (1) He was well known to the early residents of the Pine Bluffs area as he was one of the very earliest settlers and endured all of the harsh privations and hardships that always come to new countries. He saw this section develop from a land of buffalo grass and roaming herds of cattle to a modern farming community with rural mail routes, telephones, truck transportation and so forth. He came to Wyoming in 1889 and settled on a homestead twenty miles north of Pine Bluffs.
Grandpa raised a lot of chickens and he wouldn't let Granny kill one. If she got to eat one she killed it when he went to town and she put the feathers in a pail back of the stove and buried the head in the manure pile. If Pete and grandma wanted a hen to cook, Pete would take the gun and yell "an old hen crowed", and would run out and shot one, as Grandad said it was bad luck for a hen to crow. A pretty sneaky way to get a chicken, wasn't it?
Granny had to use white pepper for if she used black pepper, Grandpa wouldn't eat the food. I many ways he was so unkind and so disagreeable but Granny was always so serene and happy…She never acted as though she heard what he said. She had red hair and brown eyes. She told me that in those early days the blizzards were so bad that they set posts on the way to the barn from the house and had a w ore on them so they could hold on to it to get from the house to the barn as they had to walk with their backs to the storm and couldn't see where they were going. The snow was so fine and the wind so fierce it would just take your breath.
The incident of the Grey wolf, as told to me by Granny Lee. It was getting dark and there was a terrible blizzard outside. Pete had gone to the barn t o feed the horses and on the way back to the house, a big grey wolf chased him clear to the door.* As Pete dashed through the door, he slammed it shut on the wolf's head. In the excitement they never thought of the gun and Grandad was beating the wolf on the head with a stick of stove wood. The wolf finally jerked loose and got away. Considering this happened in the year 1889, it could have been possible and I have no reason to doubt Granny Lee's word. At that time they were living in a dugout on one of the Anderson places before they filed on the homestead.
*(Earl Harvey, Ruth's brother, said the wolf chased the dog to the door, not Uncle Pete).
A trip to Aunt Mary Jackson's house at Bayard, Nebraska.
As mother had not seen her sister for so long, the family decided to go visit them. All of us were packed into Grandpa Lee's covered wagon with Granny sitting right in the middle of the wagon bed. Grandpa and Pete were on the seat, so mother, Mary and I were filling g in the rest of the spaces along with food and extra cots to sleep on. It must haven been late in the fall…November or December, because it was cold. Of course, Grandad had his usual nit so was feeling pretty spry. We were warm in the wagon but cramped.
We drove all day and when we came to Pumpkin Creek it was frozen over and Grandad yelled, "Look Out, Old Maude is going to Jump"! She did and when the wheels hit the ice they broke through and a cot fell over and hit Mary on the ear and she let out a blood curdling yell. We stayed all night with some people and it was so cold that the telephone wires sang all night and I didn't sleep much. We all slept on the floor.
We went through a range of hills and a place called "Wright's Gap." Only one wagon could go through at a time, so Pete walked through to see if the other side was clear before we started through. Mary and I walked and the tracks through the sandstone were worn down until they were hub deep by so many wagons going through for so many years.
I can't remember much more about the trip, although we did see frozen wild pumpkin vines along the creek and the prairie grass was the color of dead grass and clean as though it had been swept with a broom. We spent Christmas with them and all of us went to the Church to hear the program and see the tree. No gifts were on the tree but each got a mosquito-bar sock of treats, some were red and some were green.
Aunt Mary had quite a few children so we had a lot of fun. Going at that time of the year was pretty risky but we got home without any trouble. I can't remember all of the Jackson children's names but there was J.D., Grace, Daphne, and Merle. J.D. passed away many years ago and as far as I know, all live around Bayard except a baby, Helen, who was born after we were there and she lives in California. Grace married a Robert Cleveland. She also taught school for several years. These children always loved us and all came that could, when Mother and Father passed away, showing a bond of relationship that can't be equaled. J.D. was only named J.D., so in later years he named himself John David. He said he didn't see why anyone would name a baby just two initials…J.D..
About 1906 Wad and Mary Robinson came from Iowa to homestead and they were friends of our Grandparents so they lived with them until they had a place. Wad was a great hand to pretend he was sick so he could lie in bed. He was always asking his wife to bake him a hot apple pie before he got up. Wad and Mary had a parrot called "Teddy" and they left him with our Grandparents a lot. He said a lot of things like 'Teddy wants a strawberry" or a cracker. Took a bath and washed his feed in his water cup. Once when the men went to town and came home, Pete said, "Do you know what we forgot? We forgot the tobacco." And Teddy started that silly laugh of his and repeated "They forgot the tobacco."
Granny Lee used to tell me many things about their lives and the trip they made to the Jackson Hole Country from Iowa in a covered wagon in 1895. (1) I was but one year old. She spoke of Fort Laramie as 'old' then. I have been to Fort Laramie several times and I even attended a dance there in "Old Bedlam." All of my poems seem to be around these things in the past and when I realize that Earl, who is 80, and I am now74, are all that are left in the the golden chain of our family, I am really sad and lonesome. Many, many of my days are spent in quiet thinking and my love of letters to and from friends. Also, I think of the many, many who should be living today, for they were not old when they went away.

To be seen, or not to be seen?
I have spent a good percentage of my 36 years of life trying to figure out the answer to this particular question, which has expressed itself as a tug-of-war dialectic in my heart, mind, and soul. And the truth is, some days, I cannot decide which it is that I desire.
I was reminded of this struggle of my own upon reading this post on The Third Glance blog. The author speaks her own childhood growing up with autism and I found some of her account mirroring my own. I've quoted some of her post below to illustrate what I mean:
"She knew that if she complained, the consequences would be even scarier at home. When she first told her parents she wasn't fitting in, she would get 'talked to', told she needed to try harder, that she needed to stop using big words, that she was obviously deficient. When that didn't work, the responses got scarier, so she stopped saying anything…She learned that repeating the big words she heard in books would cause the other students to laugh at her and tease. She learned that no one else cared what happened in her books, or what she had just learned about her favorite things."
I was reminded of my own childhood and my own struggles. Years before I knew that I was autistic, I knew that I was different. While I've said this before, I say it again now because there are people wandering around, like I was, without answers. There are children, teenagers, and adults who struggle with the decision between conformity and difference every day. Some, like the author of Third Glance and me at various points in my own life, choose to become invisible:

Jerome Solomon / Chronicle
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Before the season begins, it is standard for fans (and media) to be overly optimistic about a team's chances.
Here at spring training, you could talk yourself into the Astros shocking the world and having a special year.
Hey, the phrase "shook up the world" wouldn't exist in sports if a great athlete had not shook up the world, right?
Anyway, I try not to buy into the hype, relying more on probable potential instead of best-case scenarios of planets lining up to present miracles.
But players can make you believe.
If you are an Astros fan, Hunter Pence's words might give you a more positive feeling about the 2011 season.
The biggest star on the Astros – take my word for it, he is the most popular player on the team – thinks his team might shake up the world.
"We're excited," Pence said. "I feel that this team has the opportunity to do something special. We're hungry. Hopefully we can lay low. We don't need anyone to talk about us, we just need to go out there and prove it everyday."
Astros followers are probably going to like newcomer Bill Hall.
A two-time community service award winner with the Brewers, should provide an example for younger players to emulate.
He hasn't been on the team long – he signed with Houston on Dec. 20 – but he has quickly established himself as a leader in the clubhouse.
"I'm trying to bring the mentality that you know you gotta know you can win on a daily basis," Hall said. "You gotta feel like when you step on that field there is nobody that can beat you.
"From the short time I was in Boston, I saw that those guys knew every single day that they were going to go out and win. Even with all the injuries last year, we still felt like we were going to win everyday. You gotta have that mentality."
Retired pitcher Doug Brocail gave what I thought was a humorous thought on teammates getting along, and perhaps the funniest thing about it is he wasn't joking.
"Hitters hate pitchers, pitchers hate hitters, that's the way it goes," Brocail said. "Position players and pitchers rarely get along.
"But if a pitcher from another team hits a guy on my team, even a guy that I don't like, a payback is coming. You know when you get in the clubhouse and walk through those doors it is time to go to work. And you work together. Even if you don't like each other."
I find it interesting that Hunter Pence told me that a couple of years ago he and Wandy Rodriguez were the only players on the 25-man major league roster to show up at Minute Maid during the winter to work out.
NFL teams have a 90-plus percent participation rate for their offseason programs. The NBA is very similar, with players gathering throughout the summer to play basketball.
This winter, Pence said there were too many players around for him to keep track.
"Guys in the big leagues who will be contributors on the team or are expected to be contributors very soon were there," Pence said. "It was a different vibe."

American Legion:
Vienna Post 180 edged Williamsburg Post 39 1-0 in the first round of the state tournament at Riverbend High in Fredericksburg.
The loss dropped the Wildflowers (14-4) into an elimination game at 10 a.m. Wednesday against Winchester Post 21, which fell 14-2 in eight innings to Mechanicsville Post 175.
Winner Matt Wojciezchowski and David McGuire combined to pitch a four-hit shutout that ended when a drive by Post 39's Chris Jones was caught at the fence. Williamsburg's hits were by Sean Hughes, Brad Vandygriff, Matt Lansford and Kent Klyman, who pitched a three-hitter with six strikeouts in eight innings but took the loss.

China Federation of Logistics and Purchasing (CFLP) Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) is the monthly survey of about 800 purchasing managers that is conducted jointly by CFLP and National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The questions focus on the health of the manufacturing sector. The numeric result is a diffusion index. A reading above 50 indicates that manufacturing is growing. A reading below 50 indicates contraction.
Investors need to keep their fingers on the pulse of the economy because it dictates how various types of investments will perform. By tracking economic data such as the purchasing managers' manufacturing indexes, investors will know what the economic backdrop is for the various markets. The stock market likes to see healthy economic growth because that translates to higher corporate profits. The bond market prefers less rapid growth and is extremely sensitive to whether the economy is growing too quickly and causing potential inflationary pressures. The CLFP manufacturing data give a detailed look at the manufacturing sector, how busy it is and where things are headed. Since the manufacturing sector is a major source of cyclical variability in the economy, this report has a big influence on the markets. And its sub-indexes provide a picture of orders, output, employment and prices. The survey tends to have a greater impact when it is released prior to the HSBC/Markit manufacturing PMI because the two reports are correlated.

A new way of storytelling on the web
The latest project from the director of Shaun of the Dead is part interactive movie, part comic book, part game, which lets the audience influence the outcome of the story.
Filmmakers have long tried to use the web to promote their movies, but some of Hollywood's brightest minds are now trying to move the idea on further. They have started to embrace new online methods of crafting creative ways to tell entirely new types of story.
Mark Cieslak talks to Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright about his online project the Random Adventures of Brandon Generator which lets the audience influence the outcome.

As expected, the Groupon IPO is said to be "oversubscribed," meaning that there's demand for more shares than are actually being sold.
This by itself is meaningless: IPOs are almost always oversubscribed. And they had better be. Or the stocks would plummet the moment they hit the market.
What determines whether a deal is "hot" or not is not whether the deal is oversubscribed but how oversubscribed it is. Specifically, how many multiples of supply there is legitimate demand for--and what the price elasticity is for this demand.
In other words, if a company is selling 100 shares at $10, and there are orders for 1000 shares at $10, the deal is "10-times oversubscribed." That suggests there will be lots of buying in the after-market, as long as the price stays near $10 and all the folks placing orders for shares don't intend to flip them instantly.
But the key question that will determine the ultimate trading price of the stock is the price at which the demand for 1000 shares disappears.
If the stock pops to $15, will investors still buy the 1000 shares? Or will they cap their orders at $12 a share? This price sensitivity makes a huge difference in where the stock will ultimately trade.
Groupon is said to be planning to price its stock at $1-$2 above the $16-$18 price range. This suggests there is enough demand to support a trading price in the low $20s. But it does NOT suggest that there is so much demand for Groupon's stock that the stock will pop to, say, $50. Pricing a couple of dollars above a seemingly lowballed price-range for a deal this visible is not a sign of wild demand. It's a sign of solid demand.
But the fact that there's ANY demand for Groupon stock at a $12-$13 billion valuation is still a head-scratcher for a lot of folks. Several analysts, myself included, have argued that Groupon is too risky to buy at this price, and the "consensus" seems to be that Groupon should trade around $5-$10 billion. So why are sophisticated investors willing to pay so much more?
One reason is that, as in most IPOs, the underwriters will likely be handing out free money. If they price the Groupon deal correctly, the stock will trade up 10%-20% in the after-market, and buyers will book an instant 10%-20% gain. Many of these buyers will instantly flip the stock, even though they will have told the underwriters that they're planning to buy more in the after-market (they may eventually buy more, but they may also lock in an instant gain).
But some investors may legitimately think that Groupon is worth $15+ billion.
And one reason they may be thinking this is that the underwriters are quietly circulating very optimistic earnings estimates to institutional investors.
For example, we are told that the estimates Goldman Sachs is using for Groupon are as follows:
2012GROSS BILLINGS: $5.8 billionREVENUE: $2.3 billion (40% of gross billings, + ~40% year over year)EPS: $0.38
2013GROSS BILLINGS: $8.3 billionREVENUE: $3.3 billion (40% of gross billings, + ~40% year over year)EPS: $0.84
In other words, Goldman is telling prospective IPO investors that Groupon will earn almost $1 a share in 2013.
If Groupon DOES earn $1 a share in 2013, and the company's growth rate still seems compelling, then a stock price in the low $20s for Groupon makes perfect sense.
But will Groupon really earn $1 a share in 2013?
That estimate seems pretty heroic.
Given two recent Groupon trends--a major deceleration in revenue growth and a decline in the "take rate" (the percentage of gross billings Groupon keeps as revenue)--assuming 40% revenue growth and an increase in the take-rate for the next two years seems very aggressive.
Assuming that Groupon will earn $0.84 on revenue of $3.3 billion with 700 million shares outstanding and a 35% tax rate, moreover, suggests that Groupon will generate nearly $1 billion of operating income in 2013. This would be a 30% operating profit margin, which is a spectacular operating profit margin, especially for a company that is still losing money.
So those estimates seem pretty aggressive. They're also vastly higher than the Groupon estimates published earlier this week by analyst Ken Sena of Evercore Partners, who is not on the underwriting team. Sena estimates that Groupon will lose $600 million in operating income in 2013, not generate $1 billion. This would produce a loss of about $1 a share in 2013, not earnings of $1 of share.
But, anyway, those are the estimates that we're told Goldman is using to drum up demand for Groupon shares.
(We haven't confirmed these estimates with Goldman. We suspect they're not distributing them officially or in writing. If you've heard differently and our source has been misinformed, please let us know.)
(By the way, don't you wish that YOU were important enough to be told what estimates Goldman is sharing with its biggest clients? Doesn't this seem like an unfair advantage that is being given to Goldman's huge clients? If a Goldman analyst--or anyone else acting in an official capacity--really has generated estimates for Groupon, we would certainly like to know what they are.)

Jean Paoli, President, Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.
Michael Champion, Senior Program Manager, Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc.
We are thrilled to share the news that the W3C announced the alpha release of Web Platform Docs. Adobe, Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia and Opera are among the stewards of the project. Together, we worked with the W3C on creating this wiki-styled site and contributed thousands of web documentation articles.
W3C's Web Platform Docs is a community site designed to be a comprehensive and authoritative resource for developers to help them build modern web applications that will work across browsers and devices, and share their own expertise, which will further the goal of web platform interoperability and same markup.
Currently, developers need to do a lot of research about what technologies work on which platforms when building websites and applications with HTML5, CSS and other open web standards. It's costly and inefficient for them to spend precious hours consulting multiple resources to understand how to employ web technologies in a way that functions across browsers, operating systems and devices. W3C's Web Platform Docs addresses these issues by offering a single "go-to" source for web developer documentation, and providing a site that the community can continually edit and improve.
Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc., represented by Michael Champion, and the Microsoft Internet Explorer team represented by Eliot Graff, have been involved from the very inception of the project as we strongly believe this community site is key in the journey to an interoperable web platform and same markup.
As an initial contribution, Microsoft donated more than 3,200 topics from MSDN and will continue to add content moving forward. This is an open community – web developers can get an account at webplatform.org to make their own contribution – fill in gaps, correct errors, and flesh out the documentation with sample code to explain how to use the web platform to its full potential.
So what does this mean for you, the developer?
You will save time and resources, knowing you can consult with confidence a community-curated site to learn about standards, innovations and best practices including:
- What technologies really interoperate across platforms and devices;
- The standardization status of each technology specification;
- The stability and implementation status of specific features in actual browsers.
W3C's Web Platform Docs is an open site where anyone can become a member and contribute. Microsoft and the other founding stewards helped boot up the wiki (and will continue to contribute new content), but YOU, the developer community, own the site. W3C convened the community and will administer webplatform.org in the future, but you don't have to join W3C to participate in this effort.
All materials on W3C's Web Platform Docs are freely available and licensed to foster sharing and reuse.
Begin simplifying your web development and check out W3C's Web Platform Docs today. Better still, sign up for an account, find a topic of interest, and contribute your expertise!

Signage on Berkeley's Marin Circle Is Unsightly and Unneeded
This morning on my way to work I noticed the addition of unsightly signage at the Marin Circle. I would like to ask for your support in removing or relocating this unnecessary signage.
Certainly these new signs are unnecessary as this information is included when you test to obtain a drivers license, it's not as if we need to remind people. There are many beautiful traffic circles all over the world with no signs telling people how to use them, why do we have to do that here in Berkeley? Are our citizens uneducated?
This fountain is over 100 years old, after all these years why do we now need to add these signs that ruin the "naturalistic layout and park-like feeling"?
Perhaps there is another way we could communicate this information, if circle users indeed need to have an ongoing re-education program.

I just looked at the headline I wrote and wondered if Brad Mills wants another year as Astros manager.
Maybe that's like saying someone deserves another year as Lindsay Lohan's lawyer.
Maybe Mills doesnt want to come back to another 100-loss plus season.
On the other hand, maybe he needs the work. Or maybe he's a masochist.
In any case, it should be his choice whether he returns.
No manager should be judged on the team the Astros' front office, going back to the previous administration, has provided him with this season.
One thing I know is that he's patient and positive.
The team lost again Tuesday night, and who's counting anymore except those who perversely want the Astros to set the all-time record for futility, and he points out they were "four inches from winning," referring to a remarkable game-saving catch by the Nationals.
There was a report on the Fox Sports Network a few weeks ago that the Astros had decided to let Mills go at the end of the season and speculated on replacements.
Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said that wasn't true.
"Brad's done a good job of keeping a very young team motivated, especially when they've gone through long periods of frustration," he said recently. "There hasn't been an awful lot of luck lately."
He added, however, that the Astros would evaluate everyone, including the manager at the end of the season, which can't come soon enough.
The way this usually works is that someone becomes the scapegoat. That someone is often the manager. The most positive sign for Mills, if he wants to stay, is that owner Jim Crane hasn't given him the fateful vote of confidence.

A slider is a widget with which a user may set a value by moving an indicator, usually in a horizontal fashion. The user may also click on a point on the slider to change the setting. It is different from a scrollbar in that it is typically used to adjust a value without changing the format of the display or the other information on the screen. A slider is used to set defined, contiguous values or a range of discrete values. It is a good choice when values have a relative quantity, not a numeric value. Usually, changes made on the slider are shown immediately. That instant feedback supports input that is not necessarily precise. Compared with spin controls a slider provides faster changes within a larger range but with lower accuracy. Sliders are almost solely operable by mouse.
eg screen size, symbol-size

Soooo...Let me get this straight. First, you try to steal the Madone. Now, you want to send back filthy wheels with bald tyres??
Bontrager's shallowest Aeolus D3 wheels combine impressive aerodynamics with a reasonable weight and predictable handling, making them an excellent all-conditions option.
As you'll probably know, over the last few years many manufacturers have begun to concentrate on the aerodynamics in the section of the wheel where the rim is leading as well as the section where the tyre is leading. Zipp, for example, have focused on this with their Firecrest designs. Bontrager have done so too; D3 means Dual Direction Design.
The result is a 35mm-deep rim that is much broader than a traditional V-shaped aero rim, with a fairly blunt curve on the spoke side – although not as blunt as Zipp use on their Firecrest wheels. Bontrager's sidewalls don't stay wide as long as Zipp's do. Instead, they gradually curve inwards right from the brake track.
The rims are wide at 27mm, the idea, in Bontrager's own words, being to "reach out and 'catch' the flow that separates off the [23mm] tyre before it can create a massive wake."
For a full discussion of why the D3 is shaped exactly how it is you should definitely read Bontrager's white paper on the range. http://media.bontrager.com/images/features/201108_aeolus/bontrager_aeolu... The white paper relates to the tubular line-up rather than to the clinchers but the principles are the same.
Clearly, it's a document that pushes the Bonty way of thinking – they're hardly going to publish a screed that paints their wheels in a poor light – but it gives a useful explanation of the theory behind the D3 wheels and tells you how the various depths compare to one another and the opposition, according to Bontrager's own figures.
According to Bonty, the Aeolus 3 has lower drag than both the 32mm-deep Zipp 202 and the 45mm-deep Zipp 303 at all yaw angles (the combined effect of the actual wind and the movement of travel) from 0° to 12.5°, then beyond that the Zipps have a slightly lower drag.
The biggest difference between the Aeolus 3 and the slightly shallower Zipp 202 is at 10° yaw. There you're looking at a time saving of somewhere between 25secs and 50secs an hour, depending on the bike and the rider. Zipp would doubtless dispute the figures. We're not in a position to give you independent wind tunnel data but here's what we can tell you...
The Aeolus 3s are lightweight for their depth. Bontrager claim a wheelset weight of 1,440g (650g f, 790g r). According to the Road.cc scales, ours came in at 1,479g (667g f, and 812g r, no skewers, no rim tape, 1,521g with rim tape) which is still highly reasonable.
They accelerate quickly, there's no doubt about that, picking up speed with a real rapidity when you come out of a slow turn and stomp on the pedals. More important, they maintain that speed with more ease than any other wheels I've used of a similar depth. They keep on spinning beautifully over a whole variety of terrains and in all conditions.
The other thing you notice is that the Aeolus 3s offer excellent stability in crosswinds. Fair enough, 35mm rims aren't so deep that you're likely to get buffeted around all that much, but when things are blustery you do notice that keeping a steady ship is pretty straightforward with these. You certainly don't find yourself correcting the steering all the time as the wind gusts.
Braking on those carbon rims is fine – not amazing, but fine – as long as you use the Carbon Stop brake pads provided. You don't get the punch that you get with alloy rims but you never do with carbon. It is consistent and reliable, though, so you can adjust your timings accordingly. As well as the pads you get quick release skewers, wheel bags and alloy presta valve extenders as part of the package.
I've ridden these wheels so much over the past few months that I've nearly gone through the entire tread on the rear tyre (sorry Bontrager, but you're going to need to replace them when you get these back) yet both wheels are still running true. You'd be hard pressed to tell that these aren't fresh out of the box. Well, apart from the fact that they're filthy.
They're built with 18 DT Aerolite spokes at the front and 24 at the rear held in place by Alpina locking alloy nipples. The hubs are Bontrager-designed with DT internals, the rear one using DT's Star Ratchet design to provide quick engagement and, in our experience, plenty of reliability. Both Campag and Shimano/SRAM versions are available, including one that's Shimano 11-speed compatible.
Two grand for a pair of wheels is clearly a lot of money however you look at it, but a pair of Zipp 202s will cost you £1,900 and a set of Zipp 303s is £2,300 (list price) so they're roughly in line with those in terms of pricing.
Light, superfast aero wheels that handle well whatever the conditions.

Make and model: Bontrager Aeolus 3 D3 wheels
Size tested: Shimano
Tell us what the product is for, and who it's aimed at. What do the manufacturers say about it? How does that compare to your own feelings about it?
Bontrager say, "The climber's choice. Our D3 rim profile in a 35mm height yields an amazingly light wheelset with the aerodynamics of a far greater rim profile. There is no better way to make your bike perform better than removing rotational weight, and there is no better, lightweight clincher wheel system. Includes full OCLV carbon rims and silky smooth, Swiss-made hubs."
These are high-performance wheels that are suitable for all kinds of terrain and conditions.
Tell us some more about the technical aspects of the product?
The best thing to do if you want more tech info on these wheels is to check out Bontrager's white paper.
I've given these a right old battering over the past three months and they've just shrugged it all off.
Aerodynamic, light, stable... spot on. The braking performance isn't amazing but it's good by carbon's standards.
See above, they're doing great.
Of course, you can get lighter wheels by going for wheels with a shallower rim depth but the aero performance more than makes up for that.
Weeeeeeeell, they're expensive, of course, but considering the technology and the quality it's not a crazy price.
Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
Beautifully. Very impressive all round.
Tell us what you particularly liked about the product
The speed and stability in all conditions.
Tell us what you particularly disliked about the product
Like all carbon rims I've ever used, the braking performance lags behind aluminium.
Did you enjoy using the product? Yes.

OCEAN CITY- Local anglers hoping to avoid the crowds and holiday shopping this weekend and perhaps win some money instead of spending it are participating in the third annual Black Friday 550 Rockfish Tournament, which got underway this morning out of the Ocean City Fishing Center.
For 36 hours this weekend, local fishing enthusiasts looking for an alternative to holiday shopping are taking to the waters in and around the resort area for the third annual Black Friday 550. The tournament got underway this morning and will conclude at 6 p.m. tomorrow night.
As the name of the event implies, the only species targeted during the tournament will be rockfish, or striped bass. Each boat will be able to weigh four total rockfish within the 36-hour fishing period and the designated captain will be responsible for determining which of a boat's four largest fish should be weighed. All fish brought to the scale must adhere to state and federal retention limits, and any fish that does not meet the limits will lead to the disqualification of a boat and its anglers.
Cash prizes for the largest rockfish weighed will be awarded at different intervals during the two-day event with a winner-take-all prize for the largest single rockfish weighed during the tournament. Added entry level daily money will be divided into each of the four weigh-in periods throughout the tournament. If no fish are weighed during any given period, that prize money will be added to the next period's prize.
The anticipated payout for the Black Friday tournament this year is $10,500 based on a minimum of 20 boats participating. Last year's event paid out about $7,000.
The tournament got underway early this morning with lines in the water at 6 a.m. The official scale at the Ocean City Fishing Center will be open today from 10 a.m. to noon and again from 5-7 p.m. On Saturday, the scale will be open from 9-11 a.m. and again from 5-7 p.m. The tournament will conclude with an awards dinner tomorrow night at Mickey Finn's at the Ocean City Fishing Center in West Ocean City, which is hosting the annual tournament. Proceeds from a raffle during the awards dinner will go to the Worcester County Austistic Children's Support Group.

These sentiments smack in the face of President Clinton's Childhood Immunization Initiative--a mission to vaccinate 90 percent of all children against six ailments by 1996. Besides offering free shots to those who qualify, tracking systems exist in various states (including California) to shadow both immunized and non-immunized children (1).
There was a time when childhood illnesses were deadly. The introduction of vaccinations beginning with smallpox in 1902 (2) brought a sigh of relief to many parents' lips. Health caregivers watched as the incidence of polio and other ailments declined, and once frequent diseases became rare.
Vaccines, intended to protect the individual and community against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus (lock jaw), polio, measles, mumps, rubella (German measles), Haemophilus influenzae type b, and hepatitis B, are hailed by many as one of the most efficacious and safest therapies available. Vaccines defend children against contagious bugs, when parents cannot (3). Rashes, fever or sore arms, and the occasional severe reaction caused by shots are viewed as small prices to pay for promised immunity (4).
Most states require all vaccines be given to children in order to attend school and, frequently, daycare. The Supreme Court ruled compulsory vaccinations to be constitutional (1). All states offer exemptions to this requirement based on medical reasons (requiring a doctor's signature), religious beliefs, personal or philosophical judgment. However, these exemptions are not guaranteed. During the last four years, at least three states lost their philosophical exemption. A resolution opposing religious exemptions was passed by the American Medical Association because this exemption violates standard medical practice (5). Immunizations are not mandatory in every country. Switzerland, the Netherlands, England, Ireland, Germany, Austria and Spain offer vaccines as an option not a law (6).
Don't Vaccinate my Child!
"The greatest threat of childhood diseases lies in the dangerous and ineffectual efforts made to prevent them through mass immunization" was the opinion of the late Robert Mendelsohn, MD (7). While pushing for higher immunization rates, the US government has set up the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, funded by a federal tax applied to each vaccine. As of February 1995, VICP has paid over half a billion dollars for vaccine related injuries and deaths. The federal government admits that less than 10 percent of doctors even report vaccine problems (8). So without adequate data, do we really know if the benefits of immunization outweigh its risks?
Opponents feel there are too many unanswered questions surrounding vaccines to warrant blanket use. Even the word "immunization" is frowned upon as it implies support of the immune system when in fact the opposite may be true (6). Some are concerned that vaccines may ignite AIDS infections, cause allergies, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) and immune related conditions such as multiple sclerosis later in life. Of the 145 children who died of SIDS or crib death in Los Angeles County from 1979 to 1980, more than one-third had received a DPT shot less than a month earlier. The investigators that reported this acknowledged these SIDS cases were "significantly more than expected" (9).

You could practically spend your entire Massachusetts vacation outdoors. In the spring, fishing, camping, hiking, biking, and cheering on the Red Sox at historic Fenway Park. In the summer, soaking up the sun on gorgeous beaches, white water rafting, whale watching, putt sinking, ice cream eating, and still cheering on the Sox. In the fall, leaf peeping at the brilliant foliage; losing your voice at a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium; petting goats, picking apples and sipping cider at any number of picture perfect small farms; and yep, still cheering on the Sox. Think there are no outdoor activities in the winter? Think again. There's skiing, riding and tubing at one of 12 fantastic ski areas; dog sledding; and ice fishing; all while heatedly discussing the spring prospects for the Sox, of course.

The 18ft x 36ft 8 Mil Space Age Solar Cover - SC-BS-000044 is constructed of two layers of high density polyethylene that could raise the temperature in your pool's water 10 degrees with the appropriate sun light. This cover is blue on top and silver on bottom and should always be installed with the bubbles down. Comes with a 5 year prorated warranty - 1 year full against manufacturer's defects only.
With Solar covers, it is not necessary to use anchor weights or tie down straps to hold them in place; since they lay and float on top of your pool's water without restraints. Therefore, removal and replacement of a solar cover is very easy, just pull it off and store it. However this can be a awkward and strenuous task - imagine folding a giant wet blanket by yourself - but by incorporating the help or aid of a solar pool cover reel, this task can be made much easier. Solar covers are usually folded and stored or rolled-up on a large solar pool cover reel and wheeled out of the way and put up for storage

On Wednesday, March 6, US Attorney General Eric Holder testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee, admitting that the Department of Justice believes that Wall Street financial titans are too big to jail. According to the American Banker,
Holder told the Senate Judiciary Committee that the size and interconnectedness of some institutions has "made it difficult for us to prosecute" in some cases, in response to a question from Grassley, the panel's lead Republican, about the HSBC deal.
"I am concerned that the size of some of these institutions becomes so large that it does become difficult for us to prosecute them when we are hit with indications that if we do prosecute — if we do bring a criminal charge — it will have a negative impact on the national economy, perhaps even the world economy," said Holder, who cautioned he was speaking generally and not about the HSBC case specifically. "I think that is a function of the fact that some of these institutions have become too large." (Italics added by BuzzFlash at Truthout.)
Addressing bank size is something lawmakers in Congress would "need to consider," he added.
In essence, the chief law enforcement officer of the United States conceded that he cannot uphold laws governing financial fraud and manipulation in regards to those who run large financial entities. His argument is that holding individuals criminally accountable for imploding the economy would endanger the economy. Say what? Isn't Holder just giving them further license to plunder away?
Holder's response to the Senate Judiciary Committee came about in a discussion of the hefty fine applied to HSBC for what would appear to be multiple criminal violations of the law, but not accompanied by any charges against individuals.
BuzzFlash at Truthout has repeatedaly chastised the Department of Justice (DOJ) for its ongoing disregard for enforcing the law when it comes to Wall Street. Regarding HSBC, one of our commentaries was "When Big Banks Like HSBC Are Not Prosecuted Criminally, It May Be Killing Us":
Matti Taibbi has a devastating article in Rolling Stone on how the soon-to-be-departed head of the Department of Justice (DOJ) criminal division, Lanny Breuer, admits that the DOJ won't prosecute banks too big to fail, such as HSBC and UBS – among many others. Why?
Because as Taibbi quotes Breuer: "Our goal here is not to destroy a major financial institution."
Breuer also justified overlooking criminal activity at HSBC (and by implication other banks that have been given fines that amount to slaps on the wrist) with the reasoning that criminal activity must be tolerated to ensure that the international financial/banking system is not disrupted: "Had the U.S. authorities decided to press criminal charges," said Breuer "HSBC would almost certainly have lost its banking license in the U.S., the future of the institution would have been under threat and the entire banking system would have been destabilized."
BuzzFlash has written multiple commentaries on the injustice and danger of not prosecuting banks and bank officials who knowingly engaged in fraud, laundering money for terrorist-related banks and individuals, being bankers for drug cartels, and having financial dealing with nations under boycott by the US government (e.g., Iran). But, as we reported and Taibbi reconfirms, the US has a double standard that allows banks who engage in such activity to do so with impunity, while the individuals who are considered terrorists by the executive process, without due process, are targeted for assassination (and are killed along with an unrevealed numbers of collateral damage civilians)....
BuzzFlash at Truthout has lacerated the DOJ and regulatory agencies for treating financial firms as if they were the clients of the US executive branch – instead of these executive branch divisions serving the interests of the American people. As far as HSBC, we bluntly headlined a December commentary: "The New 007 License to Kill: HSBC and Big Banks". Prior to that, we posted, "HSBC: Big Bank Executives Not Prosecuted for Narco Blood Money Laundering as Tens of Thousands Die."
In the past few weeks, we have offered commentaries, including: "When US Doesn't Prosecute Wall Street Fraudsters, Taxpayers Get the Blowback"; "Consigliere Lanny Breuer, Head of the DOJ Criminal Division, Leaves Without Prosecuting One Made Man on Wall Street"; "The Covington & Burling Trio Overseeing the Department of Justice Criminal Division: An Injustice"; and "Treasury Approved Bonuses and Raises for Wall Street Bankers Who Tanked Economy," among other BuzzFlash commentaries.
BuzzFlash at Truthout also offered other commentaries on the dangers of the DOJ not criminally big banks and their executives for conducting financial activity that not only could result in a repeat of the cratering of the US and European economies in 2007-8, but also condone financial enabling of terrorism and narcotics trafficking: "The New Untouchables Are Wall Street Executives, Despite Evidence Many Likely Criminally Violated Sarbanes-Oxley Act"; and "Abusive Practices That Shortchange Investors Continue at Bank of America, New Documents Allege."
Now, the attorney general of the United States has formally confirmed to the Senate Judiciary Committee why his departing head of the criminal division, Lanny Breuer, did not prosecute one single Wall Street executive for fraud that devastated the economy.
Think about the implications of Holder's statement and the DOJ and Obama administration's tacit decision not to pursue cases against individuals in too big to fail financial institutions. Think about the standard it sets when as a matter of policy, individuals can get away with crimes of incalculable impact upon so many lives -- and to the welfare of the United States. In essence, the executives who run these behemoth financial enterprises are too powerful to be subject to the laws of the United States of America regarding financial transactions – and now their crimes are committed with global impact.
Yet, we throw kids into jail for selling reefer.
As BuzzFlash at Truthout commented yesterday in "More Marijuana Arrests in US Than Apprehensions for Violence in 2011: A National Disgrace," "it is a tragic farce that is maddening enough to make you reach for a double shot of bourbon, on the rocks."
Eric Holder has earned the right to be referred to as the attorney general for the Department of Injustice.

Tractor Supply Company Sees Support Grow During Second Annual National FFA Scholarship Program
Tractor Supply Company and the National FFA Foundation recently announced the results of their second annual Growing Scholars program. From February 14-23, Tractor Supply customers across the country donated $447,671, an increase of more than 20 percent from 2013 donations. This year's donations will result in 334 scholarships awarded to FFA members in their pursuit of a college degree.
The Growing Scholars program was supported nationally by each of the more than 1,245 Tractor Supply stores as part of National FFA Week. Tractor Supply customers supported local FFA chapters and their members by purchasing an FFA emblem for $1 at store registers during the checkout process. Ninety percent of funds raised are being utilized to fund scholarships for FFA members, with the remaining 10 percent benefitting state FFA organizations.
"We have very loyal and giving customers, and to see an increase in support for our Growing Scholars program is a tribute to the kind of customers that shop at our stores," Tractor Supply President and CEO Greg Sandfort. "Being able to provide scholarships to FFA members and funding for state FFA organizations is tremendous because they are a part of Tractor Supply, both as customers and as potential team members. They share the same values and lifestyle that Tractor Supply supports."
The National FFA Foundation selected FFA members across the United States to receive the scholarships. To be eligible for a scholarship, students must have been current FFA members and either a high school senior or a freshman, sophomore or junior college student seeking a two- or four-year degree or other specialized training program. Major areas of study were also considered when determining scholarship recipients. For the final report of funds raised, visit www.TractorSupply.com/FFA.
"We are thrilled with the results of the second annual Growing Scholars program," said National FFA Foundation President Molly A. Ball. "We are very thankful for Tractor Supply's continued support of FFA and the efforts of its customers to give our youth a chance to grow."
In addition to the Growing Scholars program, Tractor Supply and the National FFA Foundation have many other joint initiatives, including the FFA horse evaluation career development event, National FFA Week and the annual National Association of Agricultural Educators Conference. At an individual store level, Tractor Supply continually hosts fundraising events and works closely with local FFA chapters and high school agriculture advisors to provide resources and leverage synergies.
"Local high school agricultural advisors and FFA chapters feel at home in their local Tractor Supply stores," said John Wendler, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply. "These groups often host fundraising events at our stores to raise money for community projects, like building a school greenhouse, a new bridge in a public park or an animal care lab. Our stores also work with local FFA members to support specific programs and proficiencies by providing demonstrations from knowledgeable Tractor Supply employees and our vendor partners, which brings significant value to both organizations."
Tractor Supply has been a sponsor of the National FFA Foundation for 28 years. The National FFA Foundation is the fundraising arm of the National FFA Organization, which provides leadership, personal growth and career success training through agricultural education to 579,678 student members in grades seven through 12 who belong to one of 7,570 local FFA chapters throughout the U.S., Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

"The Odd Life of Timothy Green" is odd indeed. It comes from writer-director Peter Hedges of "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?" and other pictures, and in pleasing ways as well as some dubious ones, Hedges ranges all over the place in his expansion of a story credited to Ahmet Zappa, Frank's son.
The emotional anguish of infertility; the challenges of adoption; raising and being a nonconformist or "different" child; small-town recessionary woes; improving your relationship with your father while there's still time; saving the local pencil factory. That's a big range.
The results likely will entice some and frustrate others, but all I can do is explain why I understand both reactions. In the one-industry town of Stanleyville, where the old-school pencil factory is on the ropes, Jim and Cindy Green (he works at the factory, she at the local historical society run by the fearsome Ms. Crudstaff, played by Dianne Wiest) have been tested by their inability to conceive and, so far, to adopt.
Then, a miracle. One night the married couple draw up a series of notes citing what sort of child they'd love to have in their lives. Brave, honest "to a fault," someone who'd "rock" as well as score the winning goal — that sort of thing. They put the notes in a box and bury it in the backyard. A freak rainstorm filmed not unlike Tobe Hooper's "Poltergeist" brings forth from the earth ... a boy, summoned from their collective desires. He has a serene way about him and one notable oddity: a tendril of un-clippable green leaves wrapping around each ankle. He's like Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream," only he can't take off the costume.
Hedges' film follows how the Greens adapt to this addition to their lives, and how Timothy, the boy from the ground, fulfills or subverts their laundry list of ideals. The writer-director's previous film, also for Disney, was "Dan in Real Life," and throughout Hedges' career the Iowa native has adapted his brand of whimsy across novels, plays and screenplays. Extraordinary children and ordinary, sometimes idiotic parents inhabit a theme he explores frequently, and "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" continues that exploration.
It's an elegant, honeyed production, photographed (in Georgia) by cinematographer John Toll, and it's full of interesting actors. Tense and chatty, Jennifer Garner and Joel Edgerton bring fervent sincerity and a welcome touch of comic eccentricity to the Greens, helicopter parents just waiting for takeoff. CJ Adams as Timothy is charming and effective, in a Haley Joel Osment-but-less-fraught way. His character is what it is — a symbol of parental projection and fond, supernaturally fashioned hopes for a better, more verdant and just society.
Rosemarie DeWitt plays the undermining sister of Garner's character; Ron Livingston, the double-dealing manager at the factory; M. Emmet Walsh and Lois Smith, Timothy's delighted grandparents; Common, the soccer coach; David Morse, the quietly unsettling father of Jim Green. Hedges overpacks this tall tale, which is relayed in flashback as the Greens are pleading their adoption case with the official played by Shohreh Aghdashloo. The script cannot quite calm the realist inside you ("you" meaning "me"), the one who wonders why these eager, deserving parents with their sudden adopted leafy wonder aren't subjected to an inquiry by a federal agency of some sort. (Or has that agency been zeroed out in a new administration?)
Onstage, you wouldn't question the fablelike nature of things in "Timothy Green." On screen, it's harder. Hedges is a determined romantic and a bit of a saphead. He's also humane. In other words: Unlike, say, the execrable "Powder" (if you haven't seen it, don't), this fable of the gifted child doesn't go for the throat as it goes about its odd business.
'The Odd Life of Timothy Green' -- 2 1/2 stars

10 Jun 2010
(HONG KONG) Dragonair today unveiled a special livery on one of its aircraft as part of the airline's celebrations to mark 25 years of serving Hong Kong.
Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government John Tsang officiated at the livery unveiling ceremony together with Dragonair's Chairman Tony Tyler, Director-General of Civil Aviation Norman Lo, Director of Information Services Michael Wong and Chief Executive Officer James Tong. More than 200 guests including government officials, aviation and travel trade partners and local and overseas media were in attendance.
The spectacular design of the anniversary livery, created for an A330-300 aircraft, features a golden dragon along the length of the fuselage, together with distinctive Chinese characters highlighting the anniversary theme, "Serving you for 25 years". The distinctly oriental look reflects Dragonair's ongoing commitment to its home city, Hong Kong. The special-livery aircraft will primarily fly on the airline's trunk routes to Beijing and Shanghai.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Dragonair Chairman Tony Tyler said: ""This is a special time for Dragonair and we are delighted to be able to celebrate with this special anniversary livery. We are a young, dynamic airline that has already come a long way, and I believe we have a very exciting future ahead of us."
Since starting out in 1985 with just one Boeing 737-200A aircraft, Dragonair has developed to become one of the most recognised brands in Hong Kong with a fleet of 29 modern aircraft serving a network of 29 destinations in Mainland China and Asia.
"We are a high-flying brand that Hong Kong people can be proud of, and we were thrilled to recently be named World's Best Regional Airline in the prestigious Skytrax World Airline Awards for 2010. The award reflects well on both Dragonair and our home city - a most timely gift in our anniversary year." Mr Tyler added.
The aircraft featuring the unique 25th anniversary livery is also the first in the fleet to feature the updated Brand Hong Kong logo, launched recently by the Hong Kong SAR Government. The logo will eventually appear on all current and future aircraft in the airline's fleet, reinforcing Dragonair's continued commitment to its home city.
HKSAR Financial Secretary John Tsang congratulated Dragonair on the unveiling of the special livery and its success over the past 25 years. "For a quarter of a century, Dragonair has been a key component in our city's international reach, and is a perfect partner for our branding campaign. Dragonair shares many of the same values and attributes that make up the DNA of our city branding." Mr Tsang said.
"Dragonair is the friendly face of Hong Kong in the Mainland of China and throughout the region. The airline has become synonymous with the city, and we are delighted to have you on board for our branding campaign.
"I look forward to seeing more Dragonair planes adorned with the new logo so that we can continue to spread the message far and wide that Hong Kong is the place to be." Mr Tsang added.

What do you want first: the bad news or the worse news?
Okay, the bad news: "Doonesbury" is going on hiatus (again). The worse news: The sabbatical is entirely open-ended.
"I've done the strip for 43 years — 45 if you include the college edition [at Yale] — and I'm ready for an extended break," creator Garry Trudeau tells Comic Riffs, as he delves into a second season of his recently renewed Amazon Studios political show, "Alpha House." Trudeau also notes: "A hiatus comes with uncertainty, of course. I can't assume I'll be welcomed back a year or two from now."
So, how to get inventive during the long break? Rather than run his usual "Flashbacks," or recent reruns, Trudeau and his editors have decided to mine archival materials for "Classic Doonesbury," going back to the beginning and highlighting favorite strips throughout the years.
"In selecting the strips for this retrospective journey, we're going deep, literally back to Day One," Trudeau said in a statement about his Pulitzer Prize-winning strip, which launched in 1970. "Revisiting four weeks of strips from every year of syndication, I hope to hit many 'Doonesbury' high points, focusing on how the characters (over 75 of them) got involved with one another. Since their lives have always been bound up in the events of the day, it should be a kind of deja vu for my peers, and maybe a 'What were you people thinking?' for newer readers. I hope all of them will enjoy the trip."
A small comfort: Fresh "Doonesbury" strips will still run on Sundays.
As always, we welcome your comments. Call our comics hotline at 202-334-4775, e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com or write Comics Feedback, The Washington Post, 1150 15th St. NW, Washington, D.C. 20071.

Diasec Prints: Acrylic glass, also known as Perspex offers a superior, high gloss finish to this work of art. This framing method is very stylish and perfect for the home or office.
This framing method involves that the picture gets printed and is then face-mounted to the acrylic, using a specialised process.

Should you wish to, the acrylic print can also be framed using conventional framing methods-just take it to your preferred framing shop.
Unmounted Prints: The unmounted print is perfect if you need to travel with it or if you'd like to frame it at your local framing shop using your own custom framing method.
The picture is printed on glossy paper with an additional white border to facilitate the framing process. In order to ensure your long-term enjoyment of this work of art, kindly ask your framing shop to use Archival framing when you get it framed.

Affordable Membership as you transition to practice.
The future of the Radiological Society of North America depends on
the dedication and talent of its members. By providing affordable
membership to residents and fellows as they transition into practice,
the strength of the Society and advancement of the profession are
Who qualifies for reduced membership dues?
Members who are transitioning from training qualify for greatly reduced rates during their first and second year of practice. Dues for transitioning members are a true bargain—all the benefits of
membership at a fraction of the cost—just $100 in year one and $200 in
year two. It is not until the third year of practice that transitioning members pay standard membership dues.
How are reduced membership dues activated for members?
When members in training join RSNA, the length of their residency is
noted in their membership record. As the end of residency approaches,
RSNA contacts residents asking for an update to their status and future
plans. Residents who let us know they're going on to a fellowship will
have their memberships renewed at no cost.
In October, those moving on to practice will be invoiced $100 for the
upcoming membership year. The dues will be increased to $200 for the
second year of paid membership. The standard dues amount will be
invoiced in year three.
What if my membership status needs updating?
To assure our records are current, we ask residents and fellows who are
completing their training to update their status no later than July 15
by contacting email@example.com or call 1-877-RSNA-MEM (outside the U.S. and Canada, call 630-571-7873).Learn more about membership benefits »

LINDEN - Linden Unified School District trustees have targeted a retired Ripon educator and newly elected city councilman to become interim superintendent roughly one week after the district placed Superintendent Michael Gonzales on paid administrative leave.
LINDEN - Linden Unified School District trustees have targeted a retired Ripon educator and newly elected city councilman to become interim superintendent roughly one week after the district placed Superintendent Michael Gonzales on paid administrative leave.
In a special meeting Wednesday night, trustees agreed to offer a contract to retired Ripon Unified Superintendent Leo Zuber, Trustee Jay Colombini confirmed Thursday.
Zuber, 66, retired as Ripon Unified's superintendent in 2008. He also was elected to the Ripon City Council for his first term in November. He said he wasn't searching to be an education consultant or interim superintendent. Ripon Unified and Linden Unified are similar in size and serve large rural areas of eastern San Joaquin County.
"I got a call from (San Joaquin County Office of Education) Superintendent Mick Founts last week, and he said Linden might be in need of an interim and asked if I was interested," Zuber said. "I thought I have the knowledge and experience ... and I've always believed that you have to give back in education."
Zuber has lived in Ripon for 33 years. He served 15 years as Ripon Unified's top educator, much of it while Ron Estes served 19 years as superintendent in Linden before Estes retired in 2011.
Details of Zuber's contract with Linden Unified are still being finalized. The pact must be approved by trustees in an a public meeting. The next regular Board meeting is scheduled for June 19, Colombini said.
Zuber said he is not going into the job with preconceived notions of how long his services will be needed. He is willing to help the district remain on task into the 2013-14 school year if needed, but "I hope I'm not still needed at this time next year."
Linden Unified began its search for an interim superintendent on Thursday, a day after trustees placed Gonzales on administrative leave under a cloud of sexual harassment allegations and other complaints lodged against him by district employees and parents.
Principals Lisa Pettis and Sharon Womble filed complaints with the Department of Employment and Fair Housing. Pettis is alleging sexual harassment against her, and Womble claims her employment at Linden Elementary was terminated out of retaliation for her reporting sexual harassment against Gonzales on behalf of a teacher.
Trustees met in closed session 30 minutes after high school graduation ended May 22, and placed Gonzales on leave.
Trustees have not revealed plans on how the issue will ultimately be resolved.
