You could substitute for the last word (daisies) many, many other species of wild flowers that grow in Reporterland and its surrounding areas. In reraining from picking them, you will be preserving one of nature's gifts to mankind. Each wild bloom that is picked and carelessly tossed aside adds to the ever growing list of wild flowers that are becoming less plentiful each year. People of all age groups who love their implicit beauty are working to prevent extinction of wild flowers. Concern for their preservation is becoming more widespread, not only to botanists and their allied experts but by all who love flowers. A spring wildflower and workshop was photography held April 17 through April 19 at the Mammoth Cave National Park Lodge. Open to the public, the cost was S 1 registration fee and free for ages up to 1 2 years. Included with the workshops were field trips and speeches that explained the wildlife cycles in that locale. - Kentucky is rich in its variety of wildlife species. In past workshops at Carter Caves State Park, 62 different species were found and not too many miles from there at Natural Bridge State Park, 78 different species were determined. This proves that an even slight difference in soil conditions and terrain is important in plant evolution. In studying wildflowers, one cannot help but learn about other forms of plant life associated them. with Entomology is also touched upon, for the insect plays a vital role in the life of flowering plants. Each form of nature -has plant, animal or mineral its role, either instructive or destructive. - One family in the BY ELLIOTT PODOLL. M.D. Have you ever watched the Reporterland area, Dr. and Mrs. Fred E. Smock, Jr. and their family of three children are examples of nature's friends who are doing their part to preserve the wild beauty in their surroundings. During an interview with Mrs. Smock at her home off South Watterson Trail, she , jhowed her gardens of wildflowers. Wildflowers found around her house are so abundant and varied that from now through fall one or many will be in bloom. At present the Spring Beauty and the Blood Roots were showing off their loveliness. Mrs. Smock showed the blood-re- d juice from the Blood Root and it became clear how the Indians got their natural warpaint. The white blossom was its own camouflage. The Spring Beauty's blossom is also white. h Mrs. Smock's violet will be next in bloom with its yellow blossom. Added to Dog-Toot- "3 the list of wild blooming plants were Trillium, Butterflyweed, Columbine, Wild Geraniums, Beggar's Weed, Violets, Venus Lookingglass, Chicory, Daylily, Buttercups, Poppy and many others. Every plant has one scientific name derived from Latin or Greek, as well as one or several assorted common names, by which it varies in different localities. Unlike the common name, the scientific name is standard throughout the world and intelligible to scientists and students of every nationality. child playing with other children? 1 think every parent should take a little time out and watch their children playing with other children at this age.

Quick Brown Fox Can't Find Camouflaged Quail Eggs

Researchers wanted to know if Japanese quail were aware of the colors and patterns on their eggs.

Originally published on Tue March 12, 2013 11:57 pm

It's almost spring, and for many animals, warmer weather means it's time to find a mate. If you're a bird, finding that mate means a new clutch of eggs won't be far behind.

But keeping those eggs safe until they hatch can be a challenge, especially if you're a Japanese quail — a small ground-nesting bird that counts foxes among its predators.

The eggs of Coturnix japonica are tiny — not much bigger than a quarter. They're off-white or tan in color, with darker speckles.

Can Kidney Transplants Ease Strain On Gaza's Health System?

It's no picnic being a kidney patient even in the best conditions. But coming in for dialysis in a place like the Gaza Strip calls for a special kind of patience.

Years of war have placed a constant stress on the health system there. Thanks to a host of factors, Gaza's main hospital, Shifa Hospital, regularly faces supply shortages of medications that kidney patients need to manage nausea and other symptoms.

4.2 Million Americans Were Hired In January (And 4.1 Million Quit Or Got Fired)

Calculated Risk

Originally published on Tue March 12, 2013 4:42 pm

One jobs number gets all the attention: The number of jobs lost or gained in the previous month.

That number is important. But focusing too much on the net change in jobs can be misleading. It gives the impression that a job is like a widget — it's something that gets made in a factory somewhere, and that we hope exists forever.

That's not how it works. Even in good economic times ,new jobs are constantly being created and old jobs are constantly being destroyed. (Of course, you do want the number of jobs created to exceed the number of jobs destroyed.)

Saving Our State Parks

Alden Olmsted, son of late naturalist John Olmsted who died of cancer in March, says the time of letter writing is over; our state parks will close if action is not taken. The South Yuba River State Park and Malikoff-Diggins State Historic Park have been on the state’s list of 70 parks to close due to budget cuts. Fundraising efforts have been raised some money from local business but Olmsted is shocked that the big money is not responding.

“Where’s the Sierra Club? Where are all the environmental  organizations that are apparently so powerful and take a lot of people’s money and I’m learning, unfortunately, that they’re just as bad as the government in some respects. They’ve got their own interests, their own six figure jobs to worry about and they don’t have the passion. I’ve been telling everyone that these parks wouldn’t be saved if not for a passionate person or 100 passionate people or whatever.”

Olmsted has learned that money is not the only answer and is now working with the Sierra Club and others to take action to force the state to allow the operation of local state parks by non-profits if the money is there.

The Giant Prinny And The Prinnymobile

Last night in San Francisco NIS America held a special party for their upcoming PSP game Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?, featuring a giant drunken Prinny and the incredibly sexy Prinnymobile.

G4 has several photos of the giant Prinny in the wild, ordering drinks, bothering marketing executives, and just generally doing the sort of things Prinnies are apt to do when lacking the proper, scantily clad demoness authority figure. Eventually they got the rogue creature under control using the time-tested method of tearing apart its body and stuffing it in a giant garbage bag.

Speaking as Kotaku's biggest Disgaea fan, the only thing I crave more than my own giant Prinny costume is the Prinny-branded Toyota Scion parked outside the event.

EVE Celebrates Holidays With Interstellar Snowball Fights

In space, no one can hear you yell, "Duck!" EVE Online players are logging in today to discover that their hangar contains a special gift - a snowball launcher and 300 rounds of ammunition.

I logged into my own tiny, insignificant EVE Online account, but I'm not sure I even have a hangar. Yes, that's how deep I've gotten into the experience so far. I'm trying though! Instead of my personal experience, we'll have to take the word of Xiphos from the EVE blog A Misguided Adventurer.

Happy Holidays from CCP! Everyone check your hangars and you’ll find a nice little gift from CCP. 300 Snowballs and a Snowball Launcher. A High slot fitting, these deadly cold balls of ice do -10 Thermal Damage and are damn fun. Start launching some at your friends and enemies and let’s get a massive snowball fight started in Jita, top station!

I have no idea what most of that meant, but I am learning, dammit. By next Christmas I should have it all down pat.

Jack Thompson Still Has A Career (Apparently)

The Business and Labor Committee of the Utah House of Representatives passed a law authored by ex-Miami-attorney, Jack Thompson. I guess you can still have a career after being disbarred.

The bill, H.B. 353, changes Utah's existing Truth in Advertising law to impose fines of up to $2,000 on retailers and movie theaters that violate their own policies by selling M-rated games or tickets to R-rated movies to minors.

Even though Thompson's name never came up in the 58 minute audio recording of the committee meeting, it's hard not to hear his influence in some of the statements. GamePolitics calls particular attention to Gayle Ruzicka, who lobbied for the bill:

This is the vile stuff. The Grand Theft Auto games are cop-killing murder simulators. And when [Devin Moore] was faced with being arrested he knew exactly what to do. He knew how to aim... at the head and each time killed these [officers]. We don't want this for our children. Not at all. Please, please vote yes today on this bill.

Those that supported the bill also made reference to sex scenes in Grand Theft Auto IV and took the "won't somebody please think of the children" tact. Those against it pointed out that the bill undermines voluntary ratings systems like the ESRB.

The next step for H.B. 353 is a vote from the full Utah House of Representatives. Given that Business and Labor passed it 10-3, I think it's obvious which way the state is leaning. It's times like these that make me glad I live in California.

layoffs en California Teacher Pink Slips Far Fewer than Last Year

Friday is the deadline for California school districts to issue teachers layoff notices for the academic year that starts in the fall.  As Ben Adler reports from Sacramento, there’s a huge drop-off in the number of pink slips this year.

Last month, when California lawmakers passed a new state budget, they also passed a bill prohibiting local school districts from laying off teachers. Backers, including the California Teachers Association, say that the law protects students from class size increases and will save teacher jobs. School districts say it ties their hands, especially with the prospect of a midyear $1.5 billion funding cut if revenues fall short of projections.

Bush and Cheney haven't been content with going after FDR -- they've been giving it their best shot to exorcise Washington and Lincoln as well with their theory of elective dictatorship ("unitary executive theory").

I fear that all too many of our fellow citizens fail to appreciate today the legacy that FDR left us and that was safeguarded by his successors -- even Nixon. Given the havoc wreaked over the past 7 years, your simple prescription will still be a very tall order. And it should be abundantly clear from the frustrations of how little could be done with the results of the 2006 election that we have little chance of accomplishing any of it without both a Democratic president and stronger Democratic majorities in both Houses of Congress.

Like FDR, our new President will have to find the means to reach the people to build popular support for this Renewal by both circumventing the corporate media while still keeping it engaged. None of us should be under any illusion about how difficult the task will be or indeed how long it will take.

It is not just Bush and Cheney who have vandalized the edifice FDR built. There is a whole wrecking crew, and the corporate media are the most dangerous as they are the least accountable to the voters. These entrenched interests will fight every step of the way. I just wish somebody would persuade Obama to read MacGregor Burns' The Lion and the Fox -- but as you say, the new President won't have to do it alone, as long we remember that's it's up to us.

"what he'd given away to Stalin at Yalta"

You know, I wish people wouldn't use this phrase. I mean, it's not like the Red Army only occupied Eastern Europe because Roosevelt gave them the go-ahead.

Perhaps "his refusal to start WWIII with the Soviets while still fighting WWII with the Nazis?"

I'm just finishing up David McCullough's book on John Adams. That brought me back to Wikipedia to review the list of US presidents. What struck me is kind of the opposite: we've had a LOT of mediocre (or even worse) presidents, and more than three truly horrible ones --and just to stay out of arguments, I don't need to put Reagan in that last category to top the number of good ones. It's kind of amazing that we get about one a century, and we may not be due another one who can leave office with some sort of positively balanced effect for decades.

I'm a Teddy Roosevelt fan myself (and I much prefer his wife to E.). A Repub candidate like him would be most welcome these days. Although he did like to start wars...

One more thing the new Democratic President needs to do: fire the apparatchiks now seeded throughout many Federal agencies and replace them with people who believe in those agencies' missions.

Rooting out all the "stay-behind agents" left by Rove will be a monumental and essential task. They will all leak like crazy to the corporate media to undermine the new President's appointees (it will make the "Travel Office scandal" seem quaint). I sure hope the new President's transition team understands this -- Clinton's team clearly would, I just hope Obama has enough savvy old Washington hands aboard to do the same. Given how public and messy it will be, with Civil Service law protecting a lot of these infiltrators, I wonder whether the Democrats will have the stomach for it. If "accountability" for Scooter Libby is portrayed as "partisan revenge", how do you think these systematic sackings will be portrayed?

Lance, I'd argue that the only way to secure what you want is to vote for "None Of The Above".

We live in a nation ruled by Duverger's Law. The popular will means nothing. Money talks. Even Obama has ties to Middle Eastern oil interests (read up on Naum Auchi and his ties to Obama's 2004 campaign via Tony Rezko), meaning he's not ending this occupation anytime soon.

No, our best hope for democracy lies in losing it. Then maybe we'll wake the fuck up.

Great post. The main problem that Obama or Clinton would have, though, is that half the crew want the boat to sink. This will reduce the possible achievements even further.

I'm quite partial to Jefferson as well. But I agree with most everything you've written.

Baby's fall off parking structure ledge 'horrific crime,' police say

August 23, 2011 |  3:14 am

Baby falls from hospital.

Orange police said they are looking for the person responsible for a baby falling from the upper stories of parking structure at Children's Hospital of Orange County.

Sgt. Dan Adams of the Orange Police Department told The Times the infant could not have made it over the ledge on his own.

He called the incident a "horrific crime."

The infant, believed to be 1 to 3 months old, was in critical condition at a local trauma center after being dropped or thrown from the second floor or higher of the structure, police said.

The Orange Fire Department said it received a 911 call at 6:19 p.m. from someone saying a baby was possibly thrown from the parking structure. Police said the caller saw the baby falling from the parking structure at the hospital.

Lindsay Lohan could return to jail after court hearing

November 2, 2011 |  7:20 am

Lindsay Lohan and Shawn Holley Oct 19 2011
Actress Lindsay Lohan faces a probation hearing Wednesday when a judge is expected to send her to jail for a fourth time after she failed to attend community service at a downtown shelter.

Lohan's attorney, Shawn Holley, is expected to make a last-ditch effort to convince L.A. County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner that the "Mean Girls" actress is now serious about her 480 hours of community service for shoplifting a necklace and violating probation for a drunk driving conviction.

Holley is expected to note that since Lohan's hearing was set earlier this month, the actress has worked four of her 15 days required at the county morgue.

The judge has not communicated what she plans to do and could give Lohan as much as 18 months behind bars. But the judge is aware that nonviolent female inmates currently serve just 20% of their sentences.

When Sautner gave Lohan 120 days in jail this summer, that ended up being 35 days under house detention. Lohan's prior trips to the County Jail have all been cut short because of overcrowding.

At the last hearing, the judge ordered the actress taken away in handcuffs until she posted $100,000 bail.

Sautner said Lohan deliberately "blew off" the 360 hours of community service that she had been ordered to complete at the Downtown Women's Center, missing nine appointments and putting in just 21 hours.

Sautner made it clear she had lost patience with Lohan, alternately mocking the actress and questioning her commitment to the community service she had been ordered to complete.

“Ms. Lohan’s actions deliberately made it impossible for her to perform her sentence at the Downtown Women’s Center,” Saunter said, noting Lohan’s European travels.

The judge said Lohan eventually told a probation officer that the work at the women’s shelter was “not fulfilling."

"Is that what a sentence is about?” Saunter asked. “It’s to fulfill the defendant?”

The judge answered her own question: “No.”

“We all can’t be fulfilled by what we do,” Sautner added.

The only way Lohan will avoid jail is if Sautner evokes her creative streak and sentences the actress to one of the many small city jails where inmates pay to serve time; actors Kiefer Sutherland and Christian Slater have both used that option.

Sautner also could massively boost Lohan's community service to the point it becomes a daily job.

Honda recalling cars to fix airbags that can kill drivers

December 2, 2011 |  8:36 am

Honda is recalling this 2001 Accord and other models because exploding airbags can injure drivers.
Honda Motor Co. plans to recall 273,000 Honda and Acura vehicles because of an airbag problem that can kill drivers.

It will also inspect an additional 603,000 vehicles to see if the same defective parts that cause the problem were sold to repair autos that have been in accidents. Honda said it doesn’t know how many of those vehicles might have been repaired with the defective parts.

In the recalled vehicles, the driver’s side airbag can deploy with too much force in an accident, causing a metal inflator casing -- the part that holds and channels explosive propellant -- to rupture.

“The propellant was packed improperly and that allows the propellant to burn off too quickly and it explodes and pieces of the casing are causing the injuries,” said Chris Martin, a Honda spokesman.

The airbag inflator was manufactured by parts supplier Takata in Japan.

Honda has had four previous recalls dealing the same issue, which with this latest expansion includes more than 2.5 million vehicles in the U.S.  The problem does not affect any vehicles newer than the 2003 model year.

Altogether, there have been 18 injuries and two deaths caused by the faulty airbags.

Honda expanded the recall after learning of a driver who was injured in a vehicle not included in its previous actions. It also is concerned that people are still driving unrepaired vehicles listed in previous recalls.

“We really need to get all these cars repaired and there are a lot of customers out there who have not brought their cars in after we have sent them mailers,” Martin said. “This is a very serious thing; people need to get their cars fixed.  This is not something to wait on.”

The latest recall now includes certain 2001 and 2002 Accord, 2001 to 2003 Civic, 2001 to 2003 Odyssey, 2002 and 2003 CR-V, 2003 Pilot, 2002 and 2003 Acura 3.2 TL and 2003 Acura 3.2 CL vehicles.

Honda will begin sending recall notices to owners of these vehicles later this month.

It also said the Honda owners can go to www.recalls.honda.com or call (800) 999-1009 and select option 4; Acura owners can go to www.recalls.acura.com or call (800) 382-2238 and select option 4 to get more information.

Joan Kennedy: Living ‘A Day at a Time’

June 9, 2010 |  7:39 am

June 9, 1980, Urban Cowboy

Coming soon, “Urban Cowboy.” Fire up the mechanical bull!

June 9, 1980: The late Bella Stumbo (d. 2002) profiles Joan Kennedy as her husband, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), seeks the Democratic presidential nomination.   Notice that the headline carefully avoids saying anything. a clue that this is a sensitive story. I was a little surprised that the story appeared on an inside page instead of the cover.

A typical Stumbo passage: “It has been Joan Kennedy's role in this campaign, therefore, to demonstrate, through loving, trusting support of her husband, that he is not a womanizer who drove her to drink in the first place and has now somehow coerced her into campaigning for him at the expense of her own well-being. Many believe that.”

Namm 2011: Steinberg Announces Cubase 6

Sean W. Jan 15, 2011 0

Steinberg announced Cubase 6 at Winter Namm 2011.  Cubase is Steinberg’s computer music audio workstation for PC and Mac. Composers like Hans Zimmer (Inception, Batman Begins) are huge users of Cubase for it’s interface and work flow.  It is wildly popular worldwide, and the new features in Cubase 6 look to extend its popularity.

Cubase 6 has added extensive drum editing features.  Steinberg have worked to improved the transient detection of the program.  These upgrades allow easier and more accurate slicing of drum recordings, and the edited resulting drum parts can be changed, quantized, removed, replaced or copied.

Along with this is the addition of group editing.  This allows the user to edit a group of tracks easily.  Steinberg has added new vocal comping features as well for easier vocal editing.

Cubase has added full VST 3.5 support.   VST 3.5 allows individual notes to have their own midi expression data.  This feature is said to benefit orchestral arrangements the most.  Different articulations, volumes and many other parameters can be changed from note to note adding a lot of depth to the creation process.

VST 3.5 allows individual expression controls for each note

Steinberg has also added guitar amp simulations called the VST Amp Rack.  Looking at the pictures, it’s safe to say they’ve modeled  Marshall, Fender, and many other classic and modern amps.  This also comes with virtual stomp boxes and a variety of cabinet emulations to play through.

They’ve added true 64-bit support for Apple’s OS 10.6 and, lastly, some UI changes to make the program look easier on the eyes during long sessions.

Different UIs are available

They have two offerings, Cubase 6 and Cubase Artist 6.  Artist 6 features less audio tracks, I/O and effects, but is the same basic program with more than enough to create music with.

Lazy Thought

Steinberg has always made an excellent recording program.  The sound is very transparent and smooth.  Lots of these features here, though, have already been found in competing programs, so though these are great improvements, they may seem a little lackluster to some.  Cubase users should probably seriously consider upgrading when this is released, these features are great to have.

The VST 3.5 features are amazing.  I’m not sure how much they would be used for a singer/songwriter or a pop musician, but I see a great use in electronic music and music scores.  I’m curious how musicians will take this new ability and make new sounds.

Hi Friends!

Not sure if you’ve ever made your own granola, but if you haven’t, you should probably add it to your New Year Resolutions!  Last night was my first experience making granola…and I’m into it.  It’s super easy and makes a big batch that will hopefully last us awhile.  But knowing how much I love cereal and crunchy textures in general, stretching the supply may be hard to do.

I found the recipe here after Maria posted this picture of Crunchy Quinoa Granola on Instagram and got me hooked on wanting to making some myself!  Her blog has tons of recipes and a bunch of granola variations, but the apple cinnamon one was especially calling my name.

Warning: your home will smell pretty amazing while making this little mix!  Vanilla + cinnamon + honey + applesauce = apple pie scented kitchen!   (I don’t think I’ve had applesauce since 3rd grade, so it was fun to see that on the ingredient list.)

While they weren’t in the recipe, I threw in some nutmeg, flaxseed and raisins for kicks, so if you’ve got some on hand, I approve those additions as well!

Have any favorite granola recipes?  Feel free to share them below!

Happy crunchin’,

It's Not too Early to Think About Next Christmas

Take advantage of after-Christmas sales to save big for next year.

On Dec. 26, many retailers slashed the price of their Christmas goods, as well as many of the products they overstocked but didn't sell during the Christmas shopping rush. Their loss is your gain: You can save 50 to 75 percent, and in some cases even more, on gift wrap and decor for next Christmas, and consumer goods you can use now and all year long.

Retailers slash prices on other goods this time of year, to encourage shoppers who received gift cards to get out and buy.

So if you're not totally shopped out, here's a how-to guide on getting great post-Christmas deals:

What to Buy
Gift wrap - Wrapping paper, gift bags, tissue paper, gift tags, boxes, tape, ribbon, bows. Since it never goes bad, you can buy for next year and beyond. Also look for gift wrap that could be used other times of year, too.

Holiday decor - Candles, decorations, ornaments, lights, outdoor decor, stockings, faux garland, tree stands, non-perishable wreaths.

Tableware - Linens, plates, cups, napkins, paper products, serving platters.

Gifts and gift sets - Gift baskets, spa or bath sets, pet gift sets, throw blankets, scarf sets, perfume or cologne, bakeware, socks, games, coffee. (Be sure to check expiration dates on any food or perishable products.) Many of these items can be used or given as gifts throughout the year or saved for next Christmas.

2013 Calendars - Look for buy-one-get-one deals, or deeply discounted calendars after Christmas.

Electronics - Retailers often have ordered more stock than they could sell on things like DVD players, television sets, digital cameras and home theater packages. Look for good values on these purchases, but check the package to make sure what's inside matches what's on the box, and that the item wasn't a used return.

Video games - In the week after Christmas, the prices traditionally fall on popular video game titles.

Fitness equipment - If your New Year's Resolution is to get in shape next year, the coming weeks will bring big deals on things like treadmills, gym memberships, workout DVDs and fitness equipment.

What to Think About Before Buying

Clothing - Can you be sure of next year's sizing? Will this item still be in style? If you plan to wear or give the clothing now, then by all means, stock up!

Food - Unless you plan to use or give it before next Christmas, or the item has a very long shelf life, avoid purchasing food items and gift baskets and boxes with food, for next year. You can't give a worse Christmas gift than one that includes spoiled food items!

Do you head out shopping this week, or will you wait until after the post-Christmas rush? Tell us in the comments.

We report a case of simultaneous pancreas–kidney transplant, referred to us with an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in the transplanted pancreas. The AVF was manifested by compromised functions of the transplanted pancreas. The patient was successfully treated with percutaneous transcatheter embolotherapy using Amplatzer Vascular Plug 2 (St. Jude Medical, Plymouth, MA), after the adequacy of the pancreatic transplant perfusion was ensured to avoid the risk of postembolization pancreatic infarction. There were no complications related to the procedure and the patient pancreatic functions and clinical status returned to baseline. Our case highlights a rare vascular complication related to pancreatic transplant that was managed by minimally invasive endovascular treatment. To our knowledge, the technique used in treatment of this case was not previously described in literature.

Understanding early determinants of type 2 diabetes is essential for refining disease prevention strategies. Proteomic technology may provide a useful approach to identify novel protein patterns potentially related to pathophysiological changes that lead up to diabetes. In this study, we sought to identify protein signals that are associated with diabetes incidence in a middle-aged population. Serum samples from 519 participants in a nested case–control selection (167 cases and 352 age-, sex- and BMI-matched normoglycemic control subjects, median follow-up 14.0 years) within the Whitehall-II cohort were analyzed by linear matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Nine protein peaks were found to be associated with incident diabetes. Rate ratios for high peak intensity ranged between 0.4 (95% CI, 0.2–0.8) and 4.0 (95% CI, 1.7–9.2) and were robust to adjustment for main potential confounders, including obesity, lipids and C-reactive protein. The proteins associated with these peaks may reflect diabetes pathogenesis. Our study exemplifies the utility of an approach that combines proteomic and epidemiological data.

Dietary Intakes of Preschool-Aged Children in Relation to Caregivers’ Race/Ethnicity, Acculturation, and Demographic Characteristics: Results from the 2007 California Health Interview Survey

Few studies have examined the influence of acculturation on dietary behaviors of young children while controlling for other demographic variables. The purpose of this study was to assess reported dietary intakes of preschool-aged children (3–5 years) and subsequent associations with caregivers’ race/ethnicity, acculturation and demographic characteristics, using data from the 2007 California Health Interview Survey (CHIS). Analysis was restricted to Hispanic and non-Hispanic white caregivers and their preschool-aged children (n = 1,105). Caregivers’ acculturation was assessed using place of birth, duration of United States residence, and language spoken at home. Proxy-reports by caregivers to a dietary screener were used to estimate children’s intakes of fruit, 100% fruit juice, vegetables, sweets, and sugar-sweetened beverages consumed. In multivariate analyses, Hispanic caregivers reported their children consumed fewer servings of vegetables than did the children of non-Hispanic white caregivers; there were no other statistically significant differences in children’s dietary intakes by caregivers’ race/ethnicity. Caregivers’ acculturation was associated with caregiver-reported consumption of sweets by children (β = 0.09, 95%CI = 0.01–0.18). Demographic characteristics that were associated with reported dietary intakes of children included caregivers’ age, education, and geographic region of residence. In contrast to past studies of acculturation and diet in older children and adults, this study suggests that for 3–5 year olds, caregivers’ level of acculturation does not play as strong a role in the dietary intakes of the younger children under their care.

This work was done while Dr. Erinosho was a Cancer Research Training Award postdoctoral fellow at the US National Cancer Institute in Bethesda, Maryland.

The ABTT Product of the Year Awards were presented at the annual Awards Dinner held on Wednesday, June 16, 2004, at The Headquarters Club, Duke of York’s Headquarters in London, UK. The dinner took place during the 26th Annual ABTT Theatre Show that was staged in London’s Royal Horticultural Halls on June 16 & 17. The show was 15% larger than last year and for the first time filled three halls to capacity. Over 127 companies exhibited at this technical showcase for professionals involved in theatre and auditoria.

Product of the Year Awards are given for four categories: Lighting Product, Sound Product, Engineering/Rigging Product, and Widget.The Association also presents an Award for Best Stand at the Show and for Technician of the Year.

Each recipient received a handsome award in the form of a Chromium plated hook clamp mounted on an aluminium pulley engraved with the category of the award and the year of presentation. The manufacture of the awards was jointly sponsored by Andolite Limited, ETC Europe Limited and Triple E Limited. The Awards were introduced by Robin Townley, Honorary Secretary of the Association of British Theatre Technicians and presented by Anne Minors of the Society of Theatre Consultants.

Lighting Product of the Year: Source Four Revolution
This award was presented to ETC Europe Limited for the Source Four Revolution luminaire, and was accepted by Mark Vassallo of ETC, VP, world sales. The Source Four Revolution was commended to the judges for its versatility, flexibility and design excellence. It is the result of a significant development process which has been in progress for at least 5 years and which has involved comprehensive consultation with lighting professionals throughout the industry. The design philosophy was to start from the lamp out and close collaboration with lamp manufacturers Ushio lead to the development of the source employed. The product has been designed for ultimate ease of use despite its numerous features and it has been attempted to engineer maximum reliability into the unit.

Sound Product of the Year: Yamaha PM5D Digital Mixing Console
The award was presented to Orbital Sound for the Yamaha PM5D Digital Mixing Console. Orbital Sound is Yamaha Commercial Audio’s main dealer and were premiering the new PM5D compact digital desk at this year’s show. The desk introduces facilities associated with large-scale digital systems to the mid-scale range; it is based on well-conceived and ergonomically convenient control surfaces and provides comprehensive functionality in an intuitive and efficient fashion. The PM5D also manages to include a full specification and processing package in the single unit bringing amazing sophistication and functionality to the mid-scale mixing console user.

Engineering/Rigging Product of the Year: DGS Counterweight Drive system
The award was presented to Hall Stage for the DGS Counterweight Drive system, and accepted by Charles Haines, Director of Stage and AV Services. The DGS Counterweight Drive system is a solution to a longstanding real problem experienced by real workers in real theatres. It is a carefully designed solution to allow the removal of the hazardous manual handling tasks associated with counterweight flying systems. It is designed to motorise a counterweight flying set. This is achieved by the complimentary installation of a drive mechanism onto an existing flying frame. The advantages of the system is that it allows for the removal of the counterweight cradle and the necessity for the load it carries. In so doing the manual handling task of loading the cradle is removed. The product was made possible by the collaboration between Hall Stage and ASM Steuerungstechnik GmbH. This came about due to the mutual introduction of Charles Haines of Hall Stage and Maurycy Sowka of ASM at the ABTT Theatre Engineering and Architecture Conference held in London in June 2002.

Widget of the Year: CADtag
The award was presented to Le Mark Group for the CADtag, and accepted by Stuart Gibbons, managing director.CADtag is a durable laminated label for flying bars combining statutory information and rigging design and CAD cross referencing in a simple but effective manner. The strength of this product is its creation as a response to an identified need and the collaboration between Le Mark and David Ripley, Academy Production Manager, and Steve Macluskie, Technical Stage Manager, both for Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama. The product was commended to the judges as an invaluable aid to the integration of design, production and practice in rigging for theatre.

Stand of the Year: Audience Systems for the beautifully made double scale seat on display for the first time in the UK. Audience Systems designs, manufacturers and installs spectator seating for every type of performance venue.

Technician of the Year: Andy Voller
The award was presented to Andy Voller In his absence (as he was working abroad) the award was accepted on Andy’s behalf by Simon Roose, European sales manager for VLPS Lighting Services Limited. He outlined Andy’s career to date:

Andy Voller had his first taste of theatre at the age of 11 as a pirate in a production of Pirates of Penzance. He was fascinated by theatre as a child but particularly by the lighting desk and having learned all about it started to light school shows.

Gaining experience on amateur productions, Voller took a theatre electrician’s course at Paddington College, now City of Westminster College, in London. Through college placements he met LD Rick Fisher at the Royal Court and LD Andy Bridge in the West End. It was in the late 1980’s that he first came into contact with Vari*lites. Fascinated by the technology, Voller became a workshop technician at Vari*lite in 1988 spending his weekends programming shows for himself in the demo room. In 1990 he moved to Miss Saigon at Drury Lane, but in 1993 became training manager at Vari*lite.

At this time, Voller fell from a catwalk sustaining a shattered right shoulder, a broken left wrist and upper right arm, as well as head and face injuries. After a month-long stay in the hospital, it took a further six months before he returned to work full-time.

In defining the role of programmer, Voller has said, " a human interface between the designer and the desk. I think it is important to make a lighting designer’s task of using automated lighting as easy as possible, without having to worry about the mechanics of how to achieve a look or effect." He also noted, "So much of the skill of a programmer is communication, not necessarily how many buttons you can hit per second."

It is for Voller’s ability to so successfully and creatively be the human interface between designer and technology, and for not making LD’s wait too long, that he was presented with the Award for Technician of the Year.

De durp a durp durpity de durpy durp, a durp durp de durp durpity. Durp durpity de durp durpy durp, de durpity durpy dum. My point here is.... Durp. Slade is a great man, and a pretty sick name(jealousy?), and Luke's right. Legalize don't criticize, because in the long run both sides to the argument against marijuana are only hearing durp out of the others mouth. To all parents, hate to break it to you but your kids are probably out doing nearly the same thing. If its not marijuana, it's drinking, and now even more commonly prescription pills. Regardless of the law, this type of recreation is the most common and most available to do and will only rise in percentage of who will partake in years to come. Idle hands are the devils playground.

How can they arrest people for paraphemalia, it's sold legally , and no pot was found, just a smell , give me a brake. Maybe we do have to many cops if this is what they have time to waste doing. Lets mess this kids life up cause we dont have any real crime to stop. Maybe our police men should do a tour in camden.

Has anyone in Chicago proper has difficulties with whiteflies? I didnt' have any the first year I set up the containers, but the past 3-4 years they have been brutal. I typically only have a few tomatoes, a couple of peppers, some herbs and some flowers. The tomatoes are hardest hit each year.

If you have them, what have you tried to get rid of them and how has it affected your yield? I've used high-power water spray, soap, yellow sticky mats, and once in a last ditch attempt to control them, some chemical. None of these really controlled them and over the summer I steadily lose plant foliage and fruit.

white flies come in from where you get your seedlings. they can't live in the winter around here. you probably wont have them this year. maybe try a different supplier.

That's what I thought, too, teatpuller. Thanks for your knowledge; it's validating my theory.

The first year they came from items I bought at Gethsemene. So, the next year, I started my own.

Guess what? Yep, whiteflies.

Last year I tried Meinkes. Same problem. As much as I love having fresh tomatoes, peppers, etc., I am about to give up. I am guessing that one of my neighbors buys things from someplace and their plants have them. I'm in a large-ish condo building and our decks on the top floor are all connected. The whiteflies wouldn't have far to go to find my tomato, pepper, or other plants.

Since I'm originally from a country area and have gardened a bit over the years (always growing my own from seeds), I've never had whiteflies before. I was wondering if the proximity of gardens here in the city created problems such as this for anyone else.

Hi View Askew,

I had huge problems with whiteflies and aphids for a couple of summers with my tomato plants in pots when I first started gardening.

For the last two summers, I've been using "good" bugs to kill the bad bugs. I bought lady bugs very early in the season and released them. Lady Bugs love to eat whiteflies and aphids. About a month later, I bought a praying mantis egg sac and hung it on one of the stakes I used to prop up my tomatoes. The egg hatched and also went to work on eating my bad bugs.

I've also planted basil in the same pot as the tomatoes last summer. From what I've read, the jury is mixed on whether the chemicals in basil repel whitefiles, but if you have the space and like basil, I see no harm in trying this method.

Posted April 28th 2008, 6:52pm
Funny you said that, Kim, I used to do that when I had a large garden and lived on 3 acres. I just wasn't sure it would do me any good on a rooftop garden that is just 4 Earthboxes. I thought they'd just fly away, looking for more food sources. Maybe I should try it.

I do grow basil right next door to the tomatoes in the next earthbox, but not in the same one. Since I have limited space, I tend to put two tomatoes together in one box, then one box with assorted herbs - thyme, oregano, basil, mint, etc., than one or two more boxes - one with more tomatoes maybe, and another with peppers or beans. All of them are within a few feet of each other. I don't know if that is close enough. Maybe I should move things around this year so that the basil is on either side of each tomato and only put one tomato in each box.

I have a book on what to grow to repel things, but didn't think to look at it.
Posted April 28th 2008, 7:28pm
Considering the number of whitefly larvae I have seen on the undersides of Genovese basil leaves, I am very skeptical concerning basil's purported ability to repel whiteflies.

Whiteflies can be carried on the wind for substantial distances, so starting with clean plants is not enough.
Posted April 28th 2008, 11:49pm
That's the most logical to me - that they are not coming from me, but from neighbor's. So, then, controlling them is the only solution if I am to continue to grow on my deck.

They make gardening a chore for me. I spent years gardening and never felt like it was work. I had other pests, but not like these, and I always had a reasonable solution. It seems that none of the solutions I've tried are all that effective.

ekreider, what have you done to control them? And, has it worked?
Posted April 29th 2008, 4:04pm
1. You won't get them all no matter what so try for a tolerable level a la integrated pest management's economic damage criterion.

2. Yellow sticky cards will get some whiteflies but are more useful for monitoring infestation level, particularly the arrival of the first ones. The sticky cards will show the start of infestation before the pests become really obvious. In addition killing a few of the early ones is like swatting early flies before they have time for exponential proliferation.

3. Beneficial predatory insects can help kill some larvae but won't do a major part of the control job. Green lacewings and parasitic wasps (no stingers) are probably the most effective but are pretty mobile as adults. The praying mantis looks pretty neat but seems to be territorial enough to guarantee that they will not do a major insect control job. In any case most of the beneficials prefer aphids to whiteflies. If your neighbors have bought plants with whiteflies, there is a good chance they also bought some aphids.

4. Insecticidal soap spray is fairly effective on larvae but must contact them to be effective. Once infestation occurs, there will be more hatching every day. Spraying is needed every five to seven days. Soap sort of works on the adults if you get direct hits on their bodies. Good luck on doing that.

5. Other organic sprays such pyrethrum (from pyrethrum daisy petals) and rotenone (from a tropical root) will kill the larvae and adults on contact but also kill beneficial insects including pollinators. If you have to resort to these, spray near dusk to minimize contact with pollinating insects such as bees. Using more potent or persistent insecticides such as malathion or carbamate just increases side effects without killing many more whiteflies.

6. Systemic insecticides that make plant juices toxic work pretty well but should be used only on ornamentals for obvious reasons. If you have infected ornamentals such as fuchsia or coleus, use a systemic on them to help confine the problem.

7. Growing your own plants from seed as I do helps delay infestation. The whiteflies will come from neighbors even if you live in a neighborhood of single-family houses as I do.
Posted May 1st 2008, 5:02pm
Thanks ever so much. That is a very comprehensive list.

It's too late for me to start my own tomato plants this year, though that's all I used to do when I had a large garden. I'll go back to that next year. This year I may just take a break from tomatoes and try something else.

Business recruiters to be on hand as city launches South Plains Job Fair

Published: Thursday, October 12, 2000

Mayor Windy Sitton cut the ribbon Wednesday in advance of the opening of the South Plains Job Fair.

The fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.

The South Plains Job Fair Committee, a coalition of public service agencies and educators, said it expects 95 local and area employers to be on hand for the event.

Mayor Sitton, who kicked off the event with a news conference, said the city is well aware of the fact that a number of employers are having difficulties finding capable employees.

Sitton said that's why the city is joining hands with fair organizers to help address some of those concerns.

Job applicants attending today's fair are being encouraged to bring their resumes.

Organizers said employers on hand at the Civic Center will be conducting interviews as well as accepting applications.

There is no charge to attend the fair, which is open to the public.

This was a very interesting project I made for a customer. The baseball player and background, I copied from a tee shirt. Which is one of their logos. Farwell, Nebraska is a very small town somewhere in the middle of Nebraska. And baseball was a very big part of their lives, going back a hundred years. You my find it very interesting to look at their web page to find out a little bit of their history.

The size of the out side frame is 12 3/4” x 15 1/4” x 3/4”

The frame is made out of African Mahogany.

The Marquetry has Ash, Holly, Bloodwood, Poplar, Quilted Maple, Flat Cut Maple, Black Ebony, Chessnut Burl, Beech, & Walnut Burl.

Thanks for looking, Lumberjocks!

I love the Edison quote, John. I have a shirt with that on it. Long story, some other time.

Taunton published a book some time ago called “Small Shops.” I couldn’t find it, but I found this And this may be an upgrade of that early book.

The extent of your planning suggests you’ve been down the research road.

I like my work bench against the wall, not very deep, power tools below, and then an assembly table parallel and about 32” away from it. I can get to things on the wall behind the bench, it is the right height for sharpening and some planing, but most of the work is done on the larger, lower table (that has tools and materials stored below). And, like you, my hand tools are in a drawer-type cabinet a little ways away.

The really good news here is that you’re not really stuck with anything, provided there is ample power around the periphery (and even that is easily added to). So I think you’ll know when you’re ready to start serious scootage and you’ll get it there and use it a while and then execute minor tweakage.

It looks like a fun place to while some time away.

Santa Cruz jury finds Maurice Ainsworth guilty on 39 counts

By Amy Larson, Digital Media Manager,
Published On: Jan 30 2013 12:12:58 PM PST
Updated On: Jan 07 2013 02:28:02 PM PST
Maurice Ainsworth is

Maurice Ainsworth is seen being arrested in Santa Cruz on Nov. 29, 2010.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -

A jury reached its verdict on Friday in the trial of Maurice Lamont Ainsworth, a man who went on a rampage that included holding a preschool teacher at gunpoint in a classroom full of babies and toddlers, and shooting a sheriff's deputy in the head with a Taser.

Ainsworth was found guilty on 39 of the 42 counts against him for a 2009 house invasion near the Santa Cruz summit, and his terrorizing 2010 rampage through Santa Cruz.

After a two-month long trial, a judge began reading the jury's lengthy verdict at 3 p.m. Friday. The jury found Ainsworth guilty of crimes including attempted murder, kidnapping, assaulting a peace officer, and auto theft.

On Nov. 29, 2010, Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Deputy Cathy Bramanti drove Ainsworth from the Santa Cruz jail to Dominican Hospital to receive a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan.

An MRI machine is essentially a giant magnet, so Ainsworth's shackles had to be removed for the procedure. When the 270-pound, 6-foot-7-inch inmate exited the MRI room, the 5-foot 4-inch tall deputy began putting shackles on him.

"I noticed Ainsworth looking over his left shoulder. That wasn't right; he was too interested in what I was doing," Bramanti testified.

Suddenly, the inmate slugged the deputy in the head and bolted down Dominican Hospital's hallway toward an exit door. Bramanti sprinted after him.

"I didn't feel any pain, all I felt was adrenaline," she testified.

When they reached the parking lot, Ainsworth turned around, charged at the deputy and tackled her to the ground, Bramanti testified.

"He was punching me in my face, and I knew it was a matter of time before he knocked me out. If it was going to be my last day, I was going to go out fighting," Bramanti said while a tear rolled down her face. "He took my Taser and shot the Taser right into my head, point blank."

Ainsworth then stormed into Secret Garden Too preschool on Salisbury Drive and held a gun to a teacher's head, deputies said. There were 40 babies and toddlers in the classroom at the time, and no one was hurt.

More than 50 officers swarmed the area, and police found Ainsworth hiding in a house's upstairs bathroom on English Drive at 5 p.m.

“He opened the door and surrendered without a struggle,” Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel told the Register Pajaronian newspaper in 2010. “He was not armed at that moment. He apparently ate just about everything in the medicine cabinet.”

Prosecutor Celia Rowland told the jury that Ainsworth began charting out his brazen escape plan after he had another MRI on his shoulder earlier that month, and realized he had to be unchained for the procedure.

Ainsworth's defense attorney, Jerry Vinluan, disagreed, saying the incident was a spontaneous, frantic and desperate escape attempt.

DA: Doubt that merging truck caused July 4 Cape Cod crash

Published On: Jul 15 2013 08:09:54 PM EDT
Updated On: Jul 15 2013 08:20:44 PM EDT
BOURNE, Mass. -

 A prosecutor says the investigation of a fatal July 4th highway crash is casting doubt on the early theory that a pickup truck merging onto the road rear-ended another pickup and pushed it into oncoming traffic.

Cape and Islands District Attorney Michael O'Keefe tells the Cape Cod Times Monday a new witness came forward last week, and an examination of the pickup that crashed head-on with a minivan shows no sign it was hit in the rear.

He declined to say if another pickup was involved. Authorities had said that based on witness accounts they were seeking a dark-colored pickup as a possible hit-and-run.

Forty-three-year-old Michael Furlong of Sandwich died a week after his pickup collided with the van driven by 44-year-old Amnon Bogomolsky of Israel, who died at the scene. Five in the van were hurt.

1 killed, 2 wounded in East Price Hill shooting

Published On: Dec 18 2012 12:08:44 AM EST
Updated On: Dec 18 2012 06:54:03 PM EST

Police have identified the teen shot to death in an apartment building overnight.

Homicide detectives have identified the teenager shot and killed in East Price Hill Monday night.

Officers say they were called to an apartment building on Wessels Avenue just after 11 p.m.

The responding officers found 16-year-old David Gill dead.

"Last time I seen him he was at Remco with my brother and they was out getting gas.  I let him hear a song before he left and I just went home, went to sleep, woke back up around like 11 or something, heard he was dead," friend Ricardo Hawkins said.

His grandmother, Vera Gill, was also shot. She was treated and released from the hospital.

A third man, 41-year-old Brian Johnson, was also shot, and is in critical condition.

Vera Gill told News 5's John London that she heard what sounded like a big fight in the hallway outside the apartment.

When she opened the door, Gill said, she was shot in the chest.

A community activist told News 5 the neighborhood is in an "uproar".

Arthur Phelps, with Project Nehamiah, said "We have got to stop these shootings. We have got to do something about these kids. If we don't reach out to these kids, this is not going to stop."

Police have not released any information on a suspect.

Child poverty rises in NH, no longer lowest in US

By Associated Press
Published On: Sep 22 2013 01:06:28 PM EDT
Food Stamps - Generic

Years after the Great Recession ended, 46.5 million Americans are still living in poverty, according to a new Census Bureau report. Figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture show more Americans than ever are using food stamps to feed their families.

New census data show the number of children living in poverty in New Hampshire rose in 2012 at the fastest rate in the nation.

A study by the Carsey Institute at the University of New Hampshire shows the rate rose from 12 percent in 2011 to 15.6 percent last year.

According to data from the American Community Survey, 22.6 percent of children live in poverty in the U.S.

Experts say that the reasons might not be immediately known but that changes in safety net programs such as Temporary Assistance to Needy Families and food stamps may have pushed more people below the poverty line.

The director of research on vulnerable families for the Carsey Institute says more information released in October may shed some light on why the poverty rate increased.

Horse blinded by fall; Water System to pay bills

Published On: Nov 12 2012 12:35:00 PM EST
Updated On: Nov 12 2012 08:06:45 PM EST

A horse that fell into an uncovered construction pit was left blind in one eye.

A horse that fell into an uncovered construction pit has been left blind in one eye by the fall, and the CEO says the Greenville Water System is going to pay the vet bills.

Anna Ricker said she found her 18-year-old Tennessee walker-quarter horse named Haley in the open 6-foot by 7-foot concrete vault on Saturday morning.

Steve Jewsbury, owner of the farm, said contractors with the Greenville Water System had dug the hole as part of work on a 72-inch line to supply water from Lake Keowee to the Greenville area.

Jewsbury said the heavy cover usually over the pit had been pushed off to the side.

A large animal rescue crew from Clemson University used a backhoe to lift Haley out of the pit.

Ricker said Haley, who she considers to be her “child,” had a large bleeding scrape from her belly to her back, and her right eye was prolapsed and is now blind.

Ricker said the CEO of the Greenville Water System called her offered to pay Haley’s vet bills now and in the future.

Greenville Water CEO David Bereskin Statement:

“The unfortunate accident occurred because the work area was not properly secured after our contractor finished working on the project.

“Ensuring the safety of residents and animals in areas near construction projects is of utmost concern to us. We immediately began investigating safety procedures and protocols with our contractors and employees to understand how this happened and what procedures will be put into place to prevent this from occurring again. We regret that this family had to endure such a difficult experience.”

“In conjunction with other area responders, Greenville Water reacted promptly to support the rescue effort, including contacting a local veterinarian and communicating with all involved parties.  By mid-afternoon, the horse, Haley, was safely removed from the vault.

“Greenville Water will maintain contact with Haley’s owner and the veterinarian to receive updates on her recovery.  All veterinarian expenses are being covered by Greenville Water.”

Severed dog heads left on family's front porch

Published On: Nov 30 2012 07:32:54 AM EST
HULL, Ga. -

Authorities in a small northeast Georgia town are trying to figure out why someone has been leaving the severed heads of dogs on a family's front porch.
The Osburn family told sheriff's officials that dog heads were found on the front steps of the family home in Hull for two straight days on Nov. 23-24.
Madison County sheriff's officials are investigating a possible motive.
Zachary Osburn said his sister was leaving for work Nov. 23 and encountered the head of a black dog at the foot of the steps. Osburn said she was so shaken that she couldn't go to work. Osburn said he found another head there the next day.
He said both heads were positioned at the steps when someone was home.
