Abstract: We hypothesised that the cortisol response to acute exercise, markers of oxidative stress, expression of inflammatory cytokines, heat shock protein (HSP)70 and HSP90 expression in whole blood and skeletal muscle, and HSP70 and HSP90 protein concentrations in skeletal muscle are altered by age and in response to acute submaximal exercise in horses. Young (n=6; 5.5±2.8 year) and aged (n=6; 22.6±2.25 year) unconditioned Standardbred mares underwent an acute submaximal exercise test. Blood samples were collected and analysed for plasma cortisol and malondialdehyde (MDA) concentrations, and for cytokine and HSP gene expression pre- and post-exercise. Gluteus medius biopsies were obtained for analysis of cytokine and HSP gene expression pre- and at 0, 4, 24 and 48 h post-exercise. Data were analysed for main effects using a two-way ANOVA for repeated measures. Post-hoc comparisons of means were conducted using Student-Neuman-Keuls for pair-wise multiple comparisons where appropriate. Acute submaximal exercise increased plasma cortisol concentration in both young and aged mares, and the duration of the post-exercise rise in cortisol was altered in aged horses. Plasma MDA concentration and expression of tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 were unchanged in blood and muscle. Exercise increased IL-1β expression in whole blood of young and aged mares, with young mares having greater exercise-induced expression at 2 (P<0.001) and 4 (P=0.019) h post-exercise. Both young and aged horses had increased HSP70 expression in whole blood following acute exercise, with young horses exhibiting 3-fold greater HSP70 expression than aged mares at 2 h post-exercise. HSP90 expression in whole blood following exercise was increased only in young horses. Both young and aged horses had increased HSP90 expression in skeletal muscle following exercise, but there was no difference due to age. However, the timing of HSP70 expression was different between young and aged horses. The age-related changes in cortisol and IL-1β expression following acute submaximal exercise can have implications for energy homeostasis and the adaption to such disturbances at a cellular and whole animal level. Quantification of HSP expression in whole blood may be a useful biomarker, with implications for cellular adaptation and survival in aged horses.

MotoGP: Maverick is Silverstone's Top Gun, Crutchlow second and Rossi third
By Tony Carter|2020-07-02T16:53:18+01:00September 4th, 2016|Categories: News, Sport|Tags: Aleix Espargaró, Alvaro Bautista, Andrea Dovizioso, Dani Pedrosa, Danilo Petrucci, French MotoGP, Le Mans MotoGP, Loris Baz, Marc Marquez, Maverick Vinales, MoreBikes, Moto3, MotoGP, Pol Espargaro|
Maverick Viñales (Team Suzuki Ecstar) has taken a historic first win for Suzuki since their return to the championship, as the 2013 Moto3 world champion was in a class of his own at the Octo British Grand Prix to become the seventh winner so far in 2016. Viñales, who got his first podium in Le Mans in the French GP, got a front row start and simply pulled away once clear at the front – putting in an incredible performance to cross the line over 3 seconds clear. After an almighty battle behind, it was home hero and pole sitter Cal Crutchlow (LCR Honda) and Valentino Rossi (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) who completed the podium.
Speaking after the race, the Suzuki man said: "It feels incredible, for what I've fought for all the time to come true…you know to have a race like that where all the time I could manage the gap… the lap times were so good. The team has worked so much and I'm so grateful to them. I came into the weekend thinking I could win because I've always been so great at Silverstone, and my bike was on a really good level.
"We did a lot of laps on the hard tyre and worked so hard. For us the restart was difficult because a lot of people put on a new tyre but we kept the same one. The key was yesterday in the rain because they gave me a bike to be able to be on the front row. Today, we did it. This is a dream come true and I hope I can give Suzuki more things like this!"
There was Lap 1 drama as the Octo British Grand Prix got underway, with rain threatening the grid and bike swaps practiced in morning Warm Up, but the weather remained dry for the length of the race. With the initial lights out it was Maverick Viñales at the front, before an incident between Loris Baz (Avintia Racing) and Pol Espargaro (Monster Yamaha tech 3) brought out the red flag and the two riders went to the medical center. On the restart, the front row of the grid of Crutchlow, Rossi and Viñales fought for the lead, with Crutchlow taking the position early before Viñales got through to lead and pull away.
With Viñales away at the front once again, Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda Team) led a five bike train of Rossi, Crutchlow, Andrea Iannone (Ducati Team) and Marquez' teammate Dani Pedrosa in the chase, with reigning champion Jorge Lorenzo (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) having a difficult race as he circulated in P8 despite his stunning record at the British venue. With Rossi then taking over in P2, Viñales was still over two seconds clear and the chase was on.
Iannone, after making his way to the front of the chasing group, then lost his Ducati with 6 laps to go and suffered a DNF, leaving Crutchlow in P2 and Rossi and Marquez to duel it out. With the Italian and the Spaniard the two men at the top of the championship – although Marquez 53 points clear – it was a battle royale for points, pride and supremacy as the two fought it out. With characteristic hard racing and some incredible moves from each, Marquez eventually broke away from his Italian title rival to close on Crutchlow – before running deep and dropping back behind teammate Pedrosa into P5, into another battle that he just won to come home P4. Pedrosa had a calmer ride than his teammate to the top five, but looked to have made an incredible leap forward in the setup of his Repsol Honda as he got back to the front.
Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati Team) came home P6 in a solid ride despite having twisted his knee in a testing crash ahead of the event, with Aleix Espargaro on the second Team Suzuki Ecstar similarly riding after a recent injury to come home P7. Jorge Lorenzo crossed the line eighth after struggling for grip, with Danilo Petrucci (Octo Pramac Yakhnich) and Alvaro Bautista (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) completing the top ten. Home hero Scott Redding (Octo Pramac Yakhnich) was the last to cross the line after a crash, with compatriot and replacement rider Alex Lowes coming home in P13 on the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 in a solid first MotoGP performance.

Alexis Taylor – "I'm Ready"
New Music April 20, 2016 11:06 AM By Collin Robinson
If Hot Chip were the earth then Alexis Taylor would be its warm, soft inner core. His delicate, feathery falsetto is the most subdued element of Hot Chip's sound, but it's also powerful and provocative despite coming off nonchalant. He has a couple of side projects other than Hot Chip, but as of 2014 he also records under his own name. His first solo effort, Await Barbarians, was a simple, tender plea all his own. Today, he's announcing the follow-up, Piano, an album of just Taylor's heavenly voice as he tickles the ivories. Here's what he had to say about the LP:
The idea with this record was to choose songs of my own and others' that were personal to me and to document live performances which were intimate and unadorned. I wanted to reduce everything to the barest elements, record a great piano well and do as little as possible to the recordings EQ or effects-wise. The mood created on the record is pretty different from that on other records I have been involved with. It feels like a special place to be able to go to.
The first taste of his intimate recital is "I'm Ready." It's a gorgeous, vulnerable ballad with sparse piano and gentle emoting through his fluent falsetto. Listen.
01 "I'm Ready"
02 "So Much Further to Go"
03 "Crying in the Chapel"
04 "Without Your Name"
05 "In The Light of the Room"
06 "Lonely Vagabond"
07 "Repair Man"
08 "Don't Make My Brown Eyes Blue"
09 "I Never Lock That Door"
10 "Just For A Little While"
11 "Don't Worry"
Piano is out 6/10 via Moshi Moshi. Pre-order it here.

Motorola buys Netopia for $208M
Nov 15, 2006 7:01pm
Motorola's acquisition spree has included a mega-merger in September with its $3.9 billion buy-out of Symbol Technologies, a recent acquisition of Good Technology (which raised more than $200 million VC) for its mobile email platform--and now a $208 million buyout of DSL services company Netopia. While it's probably the smallest acquisition in terms of dollars, the Netopia deal is of most interest to the IPTV sector, since Netopia supplies AT&T with DSL modems, routers and gateways. Motorola can now offer home media hubs, voice gateways and IP-STBs to telcos. According to In-Stat analyst Michelle Abraham, the key to the deal is "Netopia's management system which will manage not only the gateways but also the devices connected to the gateways like the set top boxes Motorola offers."
For more on the Netopia acquisition:

Industry Voices—Sappington: A new generation of data and its impact on traditional players
Ultimately, operators will need to begin now to adopt a new data-centric approach, knowing that changes may take years to accomplish.

So, the Deluxe Room is 350 sq', Premier Room is 600 sq', and the Joule Suite is 465 sq'. What makes the Joule Suite cost more than the Premier Room even though the Joule Suite is 25% smaller? I've stayed here before, but I don't remember which room I had. I'm trying to book a reservation for a quick business trip, but this just caught my eye. Is the Joule Suite on a club level or something? Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
I cannot speak to the differences in amenities between these rooms. However, I stayed in a Premier room while at the Joule on business and it was absolutely wonderful. It felt incredibly luxurious and the room was huge. I most certainly would recommend.
Is the pool open year round and heated?
Pool is open year round and heated. It's small, roof top.
I am making my reservation now. It lists room requests like turn down service and VIP treatment. Are there charges associated with these requests?
No, included no extra charge. Enjoy.
If you go to their web site & look under Spa, the Vital, you will see the beautiful pool and cycle center. Rest assured everything about the Joule is beautifully done. I'm sure if you contact them directly they will be happy to give you more info.

I feel like I should say something to Suzan.
I want to find out if Merton is going to go out and eat with us.
Benson is really good at golf.
We want Jack to go home.
I'm sure Marguerite will be here on time.
Hy told Wilmer why he couldn't go to her party.
Revised may have an alibi.
"Do you have a moment to talk with me, Hans?" "That's fine, but I've only got a minute or two to spend, so you'll need to keep whatever you have to say very brief."
I'm sure Jordan told you the truth.
Dimetry left the door ajar and Miriam could overhear what she was saying.
Bonnie broke into the deserted shack.
Brendan didn't even write one letter to Jerald while he was away.
Jeannie sure complains a lot.

Emily told Brian that her French was easy to understand.
Randal worked as a physical therapist.
Thuan made an emergency stop on the road.


I mean, aren't you just blown away by all the things they manage to store inside those little brains?
She can probably recall every single Daniel Tiger jingle every created.
There's no doubt she remembers that special dessert you promised yesterday.
She knows how to zip a zipper, unlock the front door, and she can suddenly ride a scooter down your street as though she's been doing it her entire life.
Even with all this in mind, sometimes it's easy to forget to add vitally important safety information into that steel trap of knowledge. When it comes to emergency situations, we can't afford to push this one to the back burner, especially if you stay home alone with your kids all day.
Emergencies happen, friend. Does your child have enough safety knowledge and confidence to help if something scary were to happen?
It's time to give her the safety tools she needs to confidently sound the alarm should an emergency situation ever arise.
Kids are sponges. They want to learn from us. They're curious and questioning. Most importantly: they're listening!
This works to our advantage when it comes to safety for kids. The more we talk about it, the more they will remember .
Use a really good book to help bring this emergency definition to life. It gives examples of various types of emergencies and identifies "safe people" who will help during those situations. Additionally, this cool emergency vehicle set or a great puzzle like this one will help foster informal conversations around the same things.
Mommy looks like she is sleeping, but you can't wake her up.
There is a fire in our house somewhere other than the fireplace.
A piece of furniture falls over on your brother, and you can't move it.
Your little brother is choking on a piece of food and looks like he is having trouble breathing.
The more we talk to our kids about potential situations, the better prepared and calm they will be should they ever be actually faced with one.
In addition to knowing what exactly an "emergency" is, your child also needs to know some basic information about himself. Think about everything he would have to tell a 911 operator and then teach it to him!
First, make sure he knows his first and last name.
It's also important that your child knows your phone number (area code included).
There are many ways you could go about teaching this, but in my experience, putting it to a rhythm or a song will help it stick best.
My kids sing our phone number to the tune of "London Bridge is Falling Down," but "Frere Jacques" or "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" works as well.
Here's an article that has some great examples of ways you can put your phone number to music. I would just suggest making sure you focus on the numbers more than the words.
Do you have a mover more than a singer? Here are some teaching tips that incorporate gross motor activities.
Rhythm and music will probably work well here too. We actually use "London Bridge is Fallling Down" for this one too, but I'm willing to bet you could arrange any nursery rhyme to serve your purpose.
In addition to teaching the actual address, though, it's also important to help your child physically know where your home is. He should be able to recognize your street and which house is yours.
Point out specific street landmarks while you're on a walk.
Talk about neighbors while you pass individual houses and who could help them if need be.
When you drive home from the store, verbally navigate, and tell him when you turn on your street.
Let him lead! Ask him to take you home as you near the end of your walk.
Finally, as far as all of the above are concerned, pronunciation is key. It's one thing for your child to know his address; it's arguably more important that he can say it so someone else can understand him. Rhythms and beats are good teaching tools, but eventually try to remove them, so all that is left is a clear, spoken pronunciation.
She has the head knowledge now: She knows what an emergency is and all important personal information. She's ready to sound the alarm should an emergency situation arise.
Now you have to teach her to dial 911. And it's likely that she'll have to make that call on your cell phone.
I'm going to be honest: This is the step that keeps me up at night.
When I learned how to dial 911, all I had to do was pick up the phone and push three buttons. Today, my daughter would need to push at least seven, and that's if she can open up the "Emergency" call feature on the first try.
She's more than capable of making an important phone call. I just have to teach her how.
For starters, she needs to know her numbers. You can't go wrong with something simple like this brightly colored puzzle or this set of wooden number magnets.
I find books to be particularly helpful teaching tools. Time to Call 911 and Impatient Pamela Says: Learn to Call 911 are both interactive options which will help kids understand the entire process of dialing 911.
DialSafe Pro is a free app you can download to your phone in which kids can practice dialing 911 (although it's worth noting that the practice screen looks much different than your phone's own keypad). The shining star of this app is that it lets kids have a practice conversation with a mock operator who answers the "call" by saying, "911, what's the emergency?" and then carries on the conversation while leaving pauses for practice responses.
Blank Children's Hospital (yes, that's not a typo!) in Des Moines, Iowa put together a great resource with tips for teaching kids to dial 911 on a cell phone specifically. It has made me particularly mindful to make sure keep my phone in a place my kids can reach and find easily.
There's no one way to teach these phone concepts. You know your child and how she learns best.
Just remember, the key here (and with any parenting, actually) is consistency. Don't show her your phone once and expect it to stick. Return to the skill and the conversation as frequently as possible until you're sure she's really got it.
Also, remember the key word here is practice. Don't actually send the call through, or you'll likely have some serious follow-up conversations with a dispatcher and/or police officer.
It's easy to push this one to the back burner. You know, tell yourself, "Nothing bad is going to happen to us" and then hope you're right. That's the thing about emergencies though: nobody plans for them. Your kids just have to be ready…in case.
I'm guessing this mom is thankful she didn't put these lessons off.
Have a simple conversation about where firetrucks and ambulances are going when their sirens are blaring.
Sing a fun snack-time song to learn your address.
Pull out your phone and teach her how to get to your keypad.
And then, in no time at all, she'll have it. Just like that scooter she suddenly rides so well. Of course, it's really not too surprising she picked up on all this. You already know how amazing she is!
Have you started teaching your kids about how to call for help? What worked for your family?

Golf clubs, semi-final battles & reality checks: Liverpool's previous games vs. Barcelona
As Liverpool get ready to take on Barcelona in a mouthwatering Champions League semi-final tie, we take a trip down memory lane and recall past clashes.
The Reds face a huge task starting at Camp Nou on Wednesday night, as they look to go one better than last season and secure European Cup number six.
Trying to stop them reaching the final are a Barcelona side who have just clinched a fourth La Liga title in five seasons, led by the unrivalled Lionel Messi and a supporting cast including Luis Suarez and Philippe Coutinho.
In total, there have been eight competitive meetings between the two clubs, with three knockout ties taking place during that time.
Here's a look back at how those games panned out.
UEFA Cup Success
Back in 1976, neither Liverpool or Barcelona were the European forces they are today, with no European Cup wins between them.
The two teams were pitted against one another in the UEFA Cup semi-finals—a competition the Reds had won under Bill Shankly three years earlier.
A famous night at Camp Nou saw Bob Paisley's Reds secure a precious 1-0 win, after John Toshack silenced the home faithful with the only goal of the game.
In the return fixture at Anfield, progression was achieved via a 1-1 draw, although it wasn't plain sailing.
Phil Thompson's opener early in the second half was swiftly cancelled out by Carlos Rexach, making for a nervy finale as Barcelona looked for a tie-winning second away goal.
The Reds won the final against Club Brugge 4-3 on aggregate; they would defeat the Belgian outfit in the European Cup final two years later, too, thanks to Kenny Dalglish's Wembley winner.
FCB 0-1 LFC
LFC 1-1 FCB
Aggregate score: Liverpool 2-1 Barcelona
Gary Mac Delivers
A quarter of a century after Liverpool and Barcelona first met in a UEFA Cup semi-final, history repeated itself. Once again, it was the Merseysiders who prevailed.
Having been an attack-minded, but mentally questionable, side under Roy Evans, Liverpool were now a defensively resolute team that Gerard Houllier had made one of the toughest to beat in Europe.
The goalless draw that unfolded at Camp Nou may not have been pretty—Liverpool essentially defended for the entire 90 minutes and the home fans booed Houllier's tactics—but it gave them a wonderful opportunity back at Anfield.
Gary McAllister, enjoying a surprise late-career resurrection, fired home a first-half penalty, before the Reds held on in typically gritty fashion.
Alaves were seen off in a crazy final, with Delfi Geli's 'Golden Goal' own goal earning Liverpool a 5-4 win, after Markus Babbel, Steven Gerrard, McAllister (another penalty) and Robbie Fowler had earlier found the net.
The 2000/01 cup treble was complete.
Reds Receive Reality Check
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mOLuN5n9HA
The following season, the two sides found themselves in the Champions League, with Liverpool competing in it for the first time.
There was a confidence that the Reds would again get the better of Barca after they were drawn together in the second group stage, but they were in for a shock at Anfield.
The La Liga giants played Houllier's men off the park, and although Michael Owen actually put the hosts in front, it was one-way traffic from that point on.
Patrick Kluivert equalised clinically before half-time, before Fabio Rochemback, once of Middlesbrough fame, put Barca 2-1 up.
The icing on the cake was delivered by Marc Overmars, who finished off a stunning pass move that was so good the home fans applauded it.
Another goalless draw in Spain followed—an important point for Liverpool—and while progression to the quarter-finals was achieved after a win over Roma in the last group stage game, the Reds were dumped out by Bayer Leverkusen.
Memorable Night in Spain
By the time 2007 rolled around, Liverpool were emerging as a true Champions League force under Rafa Benitez, having won the competition in 2005.
Despite this, a star-studded Barca team were favourites to progress when their last-16 tie arrived—a side that included a teenage Lionel Messi.
When Deco headed home relatively early on it felt like a bleak night in Catalonia was on the cards, only for the Reds to show wonderful spirit.
Much of the pre-match talk surrounded a fight that had taken place between John Arne Riise, Craig Bellamy and a golf club—and it was beautifully ironic that the pair were Liverpool's heroes, scoring in either half.
That was, and still is, the only time that Barcelona have lost at home to English opposition in the Champions League.
One of those nervy European nights awaited at Anfield in the second leg, but Barca's 1-0 victory, thanks to Eidur Gudjohnsen's goal, still saw the Reds go through on away goals.
Liverpool got all the way to a second final in three seasons, but AC Milan got their Istanbul revenge after a 2-1 win in Athens.
Aggregate score: Liverpool 2-2 Barcelona, Liverpool win on away goals

1. I now perceive one immense omission in my Psychology–the deepest principle of Human Nature is the CRAVING TO BE APPRECIATED, and I left it out altogether from the book, because I had never had it gratified until now.
2. Love is dead, or at any rate seems weak and shallow wherever science has taken possession. I am glad that, being incapable of anything like scholarship in any line, I still can take some pleasure from these pictures in the way of love; particularly glad since some years ago I thought that my care for pictures had faded away with youth.
3. With the lover it is the end which is fixed, the path may be modified indefinitely.
Excerpt from Wikipedia: William James (January 11, 1842 – August 26, 1910) was an American philosopher and psychologist who had trained as a physician. He was the first educator to offer a psychology course in the United States.
1. The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.
2. If you say that this is absurd, and that we cannot be in love with everyone at once, I merely point out to you that, as a matter of fact, certain persons do exist with an enormous capacity for friendship and for taking delight in other people's lives; and 'that such persons know more of truth than if their hearts were not so big. The vice of ordinary Jack and Jill affection is not its intensity, but its exclusions and its jealousies. Leave those out, and you see that the ideal I am holding up before you, however impracticable to-day, yet contains nothing intrinsically absurd.
3. First, you know, a new theory is attacked as absurd; then it is admitted to be true, but obvious and insignificant; finally it is seen to be so important that its adversaries claim that they themselves discovered it.
4. I look forward to a future when acts of war shall be formally outlawed as between civilized peoples.
5. Meanwhile take things gently. Look for the little good in each day as if life were to last a hundred years. Above all things, save yourself from bodily pain, if it can be done. You've had too much of that.
6. If you only care enough for a result, you will almost certainly attain it. If you wish to be rich, you will be rich; if you wish to be learned, you will be learned; if you wish to be good, you will be good. Only you must, then, really wish these things, and wish them with exclusiveness, and not wish at the same time a hundred other incompatible things just as strongly.
7. We are proud of a human nature that could be so passionately extreme, but we shrink from advising others to follow the example.
8. There is no worse lie than a truth misunderstood by those who hear it.
9. If things are ever to move upward, some one must take the first step, and assume the risk of it.
10. An unlearned carpenter of my acquaintance once said in my hearing: "There is very little difference between one man and another; but what little there is, is very important." This distinction seems to me to go to the root of the matter.
11. There is but one unconditional commandment, which is that we should seek incessantly, with fear and trembling, so to vote and to act as to bring about the very largest total universe of good which we can see.
12. Let any one try, I will not say to arrest, but to notice or attend to, the present moment of time. One of the most baffling experiences occurs. Where is it, this present? It has melted in our grasp, fled ere we could touch it, gone in the instant of becoming.
13. New habits can be launched, I have expressly said, on condition of there being new stimuli and new excitements.
#14 Is Life Worth Living?
14. Be not afraid of life. Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.
15. There are then cases where faith creates its own verification. Believe, and you shall be right, for you shall save yourself; doubt, and you shall again be right, for you shall perish. The only difference is that to believe is greatly to your advantage.
16. Faith means belief in something concerning which doubt is still theoretically possible; and as the test of belief is willingness to act, one may say that faith is the readiness to act in a cause the prosperous issue of which is not certified to us in advance.
17. Have confidence, even when you seem to yourself to be making no progress, that, if you but go on in your own uninteresting way, they must bloom out in their good time.
18. We long for sympathy, for a purely personal communication, first with the soul of the world, and then with the soul of our fellows. And happy are they who think, or know, that they have got them!
19. Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul's resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.
21. The most any one can do is to confess as candidly as he can the grounds for the faith that is in him, and leave his example to work on others as it may.
22. We are spinning our own fates, good or evil, and never to be undone. Every smallest stroke of virtue or of vice leaves its never so little scar.
23. The hell to be endured hereafter, of which theology tells, is no worse than the hell we make for ourselves in this world by habitually fashioning our characters in the wrong way.
24. There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.
26. How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness, is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure.
27. We are all ready to be savage in some cause. The difference between a good man and a bad one is the choice of the cause.
28. Tell him to live by yes and no — yes to everything good, no to everything bad.
29. The great world, the background, in all of us, is the world of our beliefs. That is the world of the permanencies and immensities.
1. Whenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.
2. If you believe that feeling bad or worrying long enough will change a past or future event, then you are residing on another planet with a different reality system.

Obama administration is increasingly concerned about a populist backlash against banks and Wall Street, worried that anger at financial institutions could also end up being directed at Congress and the White House and could complicate President Obama's agenda.
Why would people be so angry? Surely it wasn't about AIG (the company that's received more than $150B from the US taxpayer) paying $165MM in executive bonuses to the very clowns who pushed the company and the global economy to the very brink. I mean, come on, AIG is contractually bound to fork over the bucks. It's not like they can afford a crackerjack team of lawyers to get them out of those pesky contracts - remember, they're broke. Except for the $165MM.
Spend $500 on two magnums of Veuve Clicquot Champagne at Bagatelle on West 13th Street in the meatpacking district, and the bottles are delivered to your table with lighted sparklers stuck in their corks.
Spend $2,500 on a jeroboam of Veuve Clicquot and some magnums of Dom Pérignon, and the lights dim, the D.J. cues up the theme from "Superman," and a waiter is hoisted onto the shoulders of his fellow servers. With a tablecloth knotted around his neck as a makeshift cape and his arms outstretched, he carries one of the blazing bottles of bubbly to your table.
As the waiter soars through the air, he does so against a backdrop of patrons fist-pumping Champagne flutes, flashing cameras capturing pictures ripe for Facebook and a dozen young women clad in sequins, stilettos and Chanel bags climbing onto chairs, banquettes, even tables — any elevated surface that is sturdy enough to dance on.
Granted, not all of these morons are "investment" bankers; one fist pumper is "a 28-year-old who lives in Gramercy Park and works for a TriBeCa advertising agency." I won't ask how someone in that job can drop $500 on bubbly. However, never fear, there are "investment" bankers lurking around in the dark nooks and crannies of Bagatelle and Merkato 55.
There you have it - that's why Americans are pissed off. We gave Wall Street $10 billion and they're spending it at Bagatelle and Merkato 55 on overpriced bubbly. BTW, did the owners of these establishments really think through the idea of being profiled in a NY Times article now?
This is what makes me sick and angry. Their unrepentant and out of control greed did serious damage to this country, and they don't even care.
As a reader of Kevin Depew, I have always thought that his belief in a major changing of the tide regarding accumulations and display of wealth, while true to an extent, was a bit over the top. Now I am not so sure. Who knows how much worse this will get and how these events will affect the psyche of my generation.
When these companies do go under, and based upon the idiots in the article it is only a matter of time, at least they wont have a job. People with an MBA and a resume that reads like a menu of failed institutions wont receive sympathy or a job. But at least they'll have their 401K.
I wouldn't eat up what's left of your liver worrying about these clowns. They'll get what's coming to them as soon as NYC is walled off and turned into a prison colony. Only Snake Plissken will be able to save them then.
In a way I dont see this as so bad. Part of the problem with the economy is confidence. For whatever reason, these fools still have the money to do things like this. Good for them. Thanks to their continued spending it keeps a number of NYC restaurenteurs and winemakers employed.
So really the thing to do is figure out what the well to do want to spend their money on and provide it. Fill that niche, bleed them of their money, and maybe hire a few people in the process.
Bottom line. Thank god for the excessive spending by those that can afford it.
Yeah, I think this is called "the trickle down effect." It's been around since the 1980s and has never worked.
Actually its called the "paradox of thrift" and is the biggest risk we face toward going into a japan style liquidy trap. Thankfully, it doesnt seem likely at this point.
MRIS February 2009 Housing Report: Bleh!


Notes for the Road: Walk Georgia Blog | Who Inspires You?
Mike and Lola Beggs at the top of the St. Simons Island Lighthouse, January 2019.
I am incredibly blessed to have both of my parents fairly nearby and an active part of our family's lives. They are a constant source of encouragement and joy to us and many others who are fortunate to know them. Young retirees (67 and 68) who pride themselves on their active and healthy lifestyles, they began walking 3 miles every day, regardless of the rain, cold or extreme heat, about 18 years ago after attending a weight-loss and nutrition class with a registered nurse in Albany, Georgia.
I remember my sister and I being perplexed at their interest in this class since they were both already well within healthy weight ranges. At the time, they lived in Tifton, a small town located in rural southwest Georgia. Albany was 60 miles away and this class met at night for three months once a week for two hours. This class and their instructor, Rhena, were game changers for how they lived each day.
The class focused on practical ways to adjust your lifestyle with proven methods to live a longer, healthier life. There were sessions on finding ways to work exercise into your day, every day, regardless of any excuses, and strategies to seek out and prepare healthy meals. They have truly lived out this mantra virtually every day since.
Well, sometimes even the best-laid plans can be sidelined by forces of health outside of our control. On March 1, my healthy, fit father underwent triple bypass heart surgery to repair artery blockages of 85 and 90 percent, what the cardiologists called the "widow maker" of heart disease. His caregivers cited genetics as one of the most likely causes of his condition, given a family history of stroke and congestive heart failure. We were incredibly thankful that he noticed having a mild shortness of breath during a couple of their morning walks to the "top of the hill," which is actually Mount Yonah, located near Helen, Georgia.
After retiring from their jobs in education and research in 2012, they sold the Tifton farm/homestead and moved to Sautee, Georgia, mainly to be closer to our family in Athens. Their retirement has been filled with daily adventures to find and hike waterfall trails, seek out local eating establishments and volunteer. They are both trained Master Gardener Extension Volunteers and help organize a senior activity education program in Sautee, where my mom has become a somewhat notable local painter and my dad has enjoyed exploring new interests, volunteering at the local food bank and serving on the board of their homeowners' association.
They also bought a camper and enjoy exploring many Georgia state parks and kayaking along the Georgia coast. My husband has been so inspired by how much they are enjoying retirement that he actually began biking and jogging, and has lost 25 pounds, in hopes that we will be able to follow their lead in our 60s. Needless to say, we were all astounded by my father's recent battle with cardiovascular disease. He is recovering very well, and his providers all have bragged on the extent to which his fitness level has helped accelerate the healing process.
We are so grateful that my dad noticed his shortness of breath and took the initiative to schedule a stress test with his local doctor. The level of care and expertise he has received has been impressive, and they have repeatedly noted how fortunate he was to have gotten care before it was too late. My parents are now focused on recovery, cardiovascular therapy, a heart-healthy diet and a continued commitment to exercise daily.
University of Georgia Cooperative Extension has a similar program to the one they took part of in Albany, called "Walk-A-Weigh," which I have enjoyed taking part in with a group on the UGA Athens Campus this spring as part of our employee well-being program. For more information about local health and wellness programs available through Extension, please visit www.extension.uga.edu.

Gari Melchers Home and Studio
Gari Melchers , b 1860- d 1932
Gari Melchers Home and Studio, 224 Washington Street, Falmouth, VA 22405 - view on Google Maps
"On my return to Fredericksburg, I walked through the house and opening the back door, looked down the hill across the fields and the river. The beauty of Virginia made me wonder how I could ever have left it even for a winter."
—Gari Melchers
The 18th-century Belmont estate was the country home and studio of prominent portraitist, muralist, and American Impressionist painter Gari Melchers (1860-1932). The house contains Gari and Corinne Melchers' original furnishings and personal art collection, the studio houses over 1600 works by Melchers, and the 27-acre grounds feature restored formal gardens and miles of walking trails.
Like most aspiring American artists of his generation, Melchers pursued European training, acquiring a solid academic foundation that served him well as a figure painter and portraitist. As an expatriate with studios in Paris, Holland, and Germany, he built a reputation as a painter of everyday life, including the sphere of women, subjects he continued to pursue on his permanent return to the United States in 1916, much in thanks to the inspiration he derived from the beauty of Belmont and the surrounding community. Premier paintings of this period are The Hunters, Nelson Berry's Store, St. George's Church and Young Woman Sewing.
The couple purchased the estate in 1916 to serve as a welcome respite from their travels and Melchers' hectic work schedule in New York. At Belmont's idyllic setting they entertained family and friends, with a guest list often including prominent figures of the day like Calvin Coolidge and David Lloyd George.
It was also the couple's intention to invest their storied property with a colonial air in the spirit of the revivalist movement of the day, further developing the immediate lawns around the house with old fashioned perennial gardens, a vegetable garden, and fruit orchard. The mid-19th century horseshoe-shaped stairs at the front elevation of the house must have been a source of pride for the couple who photographed it often. They further embellished the grounds with a handsome summer house, picturesque farm buildings and gates, stone walls, and sculpture. They raised turkeys, often the centerpiece of holiday meals, and featured ice cream at many events, manufactured from the milk provided by their dairy cattle.
Belmont literally reverberates with its past. Because the couple was childless, the property was left in its entirety to the Commonwealth of Virginia, with the result that it is one of America's best preserved and most richly detailed artist studios and residences. One half expects Gari and Corinne Melchers to walk through the door at any moment, so redolent are their spirits here.
Mrs. George W. Bush, Linda Johnson Robb, Linda Ronstadt, and Louise Fletcher are among our distinguished guests.

Horvitz & Levy attorneys teach Appellate Court Experience program to high school students.
Horvitz & Levy LLP lawyers serve as instructors and mentors for the Appellate Court Experience Program (ACE), which enables high school students from diverse backgrounds to gain first-hand knowledge of the judicial system. Most recently, Horvitz & Levy attorneys Jeremy Rosen and James Azadian served as ACE instructors for high school juniors and seniors at the Learning Works Charter School, an independent study public school for at-risk youth in Pasadena.
Jeremy and James taught the students about the role of the judiciary in American government and then accompanied them to the California Court of Appeal to observe the oral arguments in a criminal appeal. The students then met with the jurists for a discussion in their private chambers, followed by a lunch hosted by Horvitz & Levy. Once the Court of Appeal issued its written decision in the case, Jeremy and James returned to the classroom to discuss the outcome and conduct a "mini moot court," providing the students with an opportunity to argue the case just like the prosecutors and public defenders they saw in court.
Participating students commented on how the ACE experience has motivated them to one day serve as judges, prosecutors, and public defenders. Most importantly, the ACE Program helps students understand they can make a difference in their communities by working hard to graduate from high school, attend college, and reach their career goals.

Chichester District Council – Latest Update
Issued by Public Relations Team – publicrelations@chichester.gov.uk
www.chichester.gov.uk/coronavirus
www.twitter.com/ChichesterDC
www.facebook.com/ChichesterDistrictCouncil
This briefing is to keep you updated on the evolving situation around coronavirus (COVID-19) and the actions being taken in the district.
Who does it affect?
Residents and businesses within the district
Chichester District Council staff and councillors
Community groups and charitable organisations
In this briefing
Community hub is open
Coast to Capital small business grants
Accommodation, food and support for rough sleepers
Advice on waste disposal
Sports England funding
Arts Council England funding
Please do not visit the district
Business Secretary, Alok Sharma MP, last night spoke about the support that was available for local businesses. He also provided more information about increases in testing.
Professor Yvonne Doyle also said that there had been a rise in motor vehicle traffic that was 'concerning' and again urged people to stay at home.
The emphasis continues to be on the need to stay at home and maintain social distancing to prevent the spread of coronavirus COVID-19. These actions slow the opportunities for the virus to be passed from person to person and this saves lives.
Everyone should:
only go outside for food, health reasons or work (where this absolutely cannot be done from home)
stay 2 metres (6ft) away from other people
wash your hands as soon as you get home
Anyone can spread the virus. The advice is to stay home and save lives.
Please visit www.chichester.gov.uk/councilservicestatus for the latest information.
As a council, we are working in partnership with West Sussex County Council, which has developed a Community Hub to support the most vulnerable residents in our communities. You can contact the Community Hub if you, or someone you know, need help, or if you want to volunteer your services in these difficult times. This will be available seven days a week and staff will be on hand to respond to enquiries from 8am-8pm. The team will be contacting the most vulnerable to tell them how to get help. The best way to contact the hub is online; if you have access go towww.westsussex.gov.uk/covid19communityhub. A dedicated telephone helpline is also available for residents who are unable to go online: 033 022 27980. We are trying to keep the resources available through the hub for those who are most vulnerable, so if you do have support in place already, such as from family or friends, then please continue to use their support.
Community guide to be launched next week
We have produced a community guide, which offers advice to community groups and residents. We hope that this will be available next week.
Coast to Capital has set up a Backing Business Grants Fund of £2 million to help small businesses and social enterprises in the region. If you have a business in the district with a workforce of between five and 50 and have been trading for more than two years with a turnover of under £10 million you may be eligible for a grant of between £5,000 to £25,000. More information on how to apply can be found here https://www.coast2capital.org.uk/backing-business-grants
Our Economic Development Team has spoken to over 350 businesses offering support and guidance. We've also been sending details out about the business rate relief and grant schemes, as well as directing people to all of the other Government business support that is available. Our Revenue and Benefits team has also sent communications out to all of those who are eligible for business rate relief.
We want to assure you that we are also doing everything we can to help rough sleepers during the current crisis. We are especially conscious that rough sleepers face particular health risks and so we have offered accommodation to all known rough sleepers. The majority have taken up the council's offer and are now in accommodation. However, there are a small number of long term rough sleepers who continue to refuse all help. In these cases we provide advice and guidance around the need for self-isolation and signpost to the support that is available. We will continue to support rough sleepers once they are in accommodation by ensuring that they have a phone, food supplies and are in regular contact with a key worker. Support will also be available through Stonepillow day centres in Chichester and Bognor, which are providing food and access to other services. It is worth noting that in order to meet social distancing guidance; the centres are limited to a certain number of people at any one time. We are supporting this work by providing staff to assist Stonepillow at the Chichester Hub. Sainsburys has kindly donated food to Stonepillow, Four Streets and Heart, all of whom are continuing to provide fantastic support to those who need it the most at this difficult time.
This week, our staff have been helping Stonepillow to make up food parcels and deliver these to rough sleepers in our district. In one day, they collected 500 loaves of bread and a ton of cheese! Thank you to our colleagues Sarah, Ralph, and Trudie, and to the whole team at Stonepillow. Great work!
The government has published advice on waste disposal for people with possible or confirmed coronavirus. Personal waste, such as used tissues and disposable cleaning cloths, can be stored securely within disposable rubbish bags. These bags should be placed into another bag, tied securely and kept separate from other waste. This should be put aside for at least 72 hours before being put in your usual external household waste bin. Other household waste can be disposed of as normal.
We are doing all we can to continue to collect your waste and recycling as usual, but there may be times where this may be affected. If this is the case, please place your bin out on your next fortnightly collection day. At the moment, our priority is to collect household rubbish and household recycling. Please also keep a close look at our websitewww.chichester.gov.uk/coronavirus or follow our social media pages on Facebook and Twitter for regular updates on all of our services.
Thank you to everyone who has been sending their messages of thanks and support to our refuse crews on our social media pages. We've received over 120 messages of support so far and they really have put a smile on our refuse workers faces. We've been sending your messages of support each day to the screens in their cabs.
Read more about our waste and recycling services herehttps://www.chichester.gov.uk/wasteandrecyclingfaqs .
The government has announced a Hardship Fund to support those residents who are financially struggling. Residents who are eligible for the support will have their award automatically credited to their Council Tax bill. Residents do not need to contact us to receive this payment because we have all of the relevant details. The benefits team will be processing these payments as quickly as possible and currently estimates that this will be done during April.
https://www.chichester.gov.uk/taxandbenefitsfaq
If anyone is concerned about being able to pay council tax bills due to the impact of the coronavirus, please let us know as soon as possible. The best way is to visit www.chichester.gov.uk/counciltax, or contact by emailrevenues@chichester.gov.uk If you do not have online access, please call us on 01243 785166. Please note that due to high call volumes we recommend using our online services in the first instance wherever possible.
Staff are working hard to improve the customer service options available both online and through the council switchboard.
Teams are currently dealing with high call volumes and so we are encouraging people to use our online services or contact us by email in the first instance if they have online access. This will keep essential lines free for those with an urgent need or those without access to the internet. For those who need to contact us by phone, they should call 01243 785166.
Cllr Eileen Lintill, Leader of Chichester District Council and Cllr Susan Taylor, Deputy Leader of Chichester District Council, have written to the Secretary of State to ask for a delay to the Local Plan. It is important that our focus is supporting our local communities right now and we hope that they will take this into consideration. In the meantime, work is continuing.
Sport England funding
Sport England is making up to £195 million of funding available to help the sport and physical activity sector through the ongoing coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis. The package is made up of:
a £20 million Community Emergency Fund, which will be opened immediately for clubs and community organisations to bid into. Grants between £300 and £10,000 are available.
a £5 million pot for existing partners to bid into if they're facing specific financial difficulty
an additional £55 million to support our sector during an ongoing period of restrictions, to fund new and innovative ways to keep people active and, when the period of restrictions is over, to help organisations get back to business and adjust to a different environment
a £115 million rollover of current funding into 2021/22 to give long term certainty to over 100 well established partners who play a vital role in the delivery of sport and physical activity in England.
Alongside this, due to cash flow concerns in the sector, Sport England have also agreed to consider requests to release six months of the coming year's funding (50% of awards) to partners, meaning additional funding will be available sooner. Further details can be found at the following link:https://www.sportengland.org/news/195-million-package-help-sport-and-physical-activity-through-coronavirus
Arts Council England will offer individuals and organisations working in the cultural sector new financial support during this crisis, totalling £160m. They have repurposed all of their investment strands to be able to offer this support.
They will be making £90m available to National Portfolio Organisations to reboot their creative work but also understand it may be required to alleviate financial pressures on these organisations.
£50m will be made available to organisations that are not in receipt of regular funding from the Arts Council. They can apply for up to £35,000 tosupport business resilience as well as enable cultural organisations to develop new public facing activity during the Covid-19 emergency, for example, organisations who have new ideas to harness the power of digital in sharing creativity at the moment.
They are also supporting artists, creative practitioners and freelancers with £20m of financial support available to individuals so they can better sustain themselves and their work in the coming months. Further details can be found at the following link: https://www.artscouncil.org.uk/covid19
We have published the below messages on social media to anyone who is thinking of visiting our district this weekend.
"We are used to welcoming people and sharing the beauty of our district with everyone, but now is not the time to visit the Chichester District. We need you to stay at home and keep safe. Social distancing is vital and we all need to play our part in supporting our NHS workers battle this virus. We can't wait to welcome you back when this crisis is over. Thank you for your understanding."


Chinese equities fell on Monday with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down 0.47 percent, led by financial and real estate companies.
Opening China's stock index futures market to institutional investors is a necessary step for the market to develop to its full potential with arbitrage activity developing quickly as the trading volume increases, said a senior executive of Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group.
China's stocks may rally 25 percent by the end of the year on higher earnings and the prospect a stronger yuan will allow for an earlier end to the tightening cycle, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc's Timothy Moe.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) on Friday issued guidelines for securities firms and equity funds to trade stock index futures in a move to regulate their investments and manage potential trading risks.
The ChiNext was down Friday as only 20 of the 71 stocks at China's start-up board for small and medium-sized enterprises rose, while other two stocks were suspended from trading.
Chinese equities fell on Friday with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index down 0.53 percent, ending the week with a 4.69 percent drop, the biggest weekly decline this year.
China's stock index futures fell on Friday with all of the four contracts closed lower from the previous trading day.
Hong Kong stocks closed down 210.45 points, or 0.98 percent, at 21,244.49 on Friday.
Allianz SE's China joint venture fund management company has received approval from the Shanghai Stock Exchange to develop an exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking Chinese commodities stocks.
China's stocks fell, led by banks and developers, after the official China Securities Journal said deflating the housing bubble is "necessary" and Citigroup Inc forecast prices may drop 20 percent.
Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc Chief Executive Officer Richard Adkerson said there's speculation that copper inventories may increase in China and damp demand for the metal later this year.
Chinese equities slid more than 1 percent Thursday, dragged down by banks and property developers.


Glen Report 24.2: Technical Brief: Which 5'-Amino-Modifier?
Trimer phosphoramidites, depicted in Figure 1, have proven to be extremely valuable because they allow codon-based mutagenesis, which circumvents the common problems of codon-bias, frame-shift mutations, and the introduction of nonsense or stop codons.1 This leads to the production of clonal libraries of exceptional diversity with order-of-magnitude increases in amino acid sequence variance while either maintaining a uniform amino acid distribution2 or one that is biased toward a desired set of amino acids.3 However, difficulties arise when trying to introduce mutations in multiple distal regions of a gene simultaneously. The synthesis of long oligonucleotides is required, which inevitably leads to lower sequence fidelity due to deletion mutants, depurination events and, to a lesser extent, mutations arising from deamination of cytidine, for example.
An elegant solution to this problem is the use of Antisense Trimer Phosphoramidites. These trimers are the reverse complement of the cannonical 'sense' codons. When these antisense codons are put into the noncoding strand of a template DNA and amplified by PCR, they will code for the sense codon in the opposite strand of DNA. This allows the powerful technique of PCR Assembly4 to generate not only kilobase-sized genes from short 50mer oligonucleotides, but to simultaneously mutate multiple distal regions of that gene, as shown in Figure 2.
The sense and their corresponding antisense codons are listed in Table 1. Conveniently, many of our existing sense trimers can act as antisense codons. For example, AAC, which codes for asparagine, has the anticodon GTT, which is the sense codon for valine. However, some of the existing trimers, while they can act as an antisense codon, are not good choices for use. For example, TGG, which codes for tryptophan, could be used as an antisense codon for proline because CCA is one of proline's synonymous codons. However, CCA has a relatively low Codon Adaptation Index (CAI) value5 in E. coli, which could limit protein expression in that commonly used organism. For this reason, the anticodon CGG was chosen for optimal expression in E. coli, as were the other new antisense codons shown in color in Table 1.
As with our existing trimers, the antisense trimer phosphoramidites are compatible with standard DNA synthesis reagents noting, however, that a special diluent is required, ACN/DCM 1:3 (v/v), to dissolve the phosphoramidite and a 15 minute coupling time is recommended. To prevent strand scission, oligos containing the antisense trimers should be deprotected in 30% ammonium hydroxide at room temperature for 17 hours, followed by an additional 4 hours at 55 °C to complete the deprotection of the nucleobases.
At present, we do not have enough data to accurately assign a Reaction Factor (RF) to the antisense trimers. Until those have been determined, a value of 1.425 is being used which is the average RF of the well-characterized sense trimers.

Hate your television or Internet provider? You're far from alone: Time Warner Cable and Comcast earned bottom-of-the-barrel scores in a consumer satisfaction survey published Tuesday.
Subscription TV-wise, Time Warner Cable scored the lowest of the companies included in the report, with a 56 (a 7% decline from last year's report). Comcast came in second to last, at 60 (a 5% decline from last year's report). In terms of Internet service, TWC got a 54 (a 14% decline from last year's report) while Comcast earned a 57 (an 8% decline from last year's report).
The numbers come by way of the American Consumer Satisfaction Index (ACSI)'s 2014 Telecommunications and Information Report, a survey of 70,000 customers about their satisfaction levels with commonly used products and services. The results span 230 companies across 43 industries.
DirecTV, AT&T, Verizon (FiOS) and Dish scored highest for TV providers, with their scores tightly bunched at between 67 and 69. FiOS ran away with the Internet crown: it scored a 71, with AT&T's U-verse service and CenturyLink both a distant second at 65. If we're talking grades in a school setting, we're still in D+/C- range for all of these, so let's not get too excited just yet.
Among the largest subscription TV providers, the customer satisfaction decline is broad and pronounced—every company experiences a drop between 3% and 7%. Still, customer satisfaction varies greatly depending on the type of service. Fiber optic and satellite providers typically beat the industry average and perform much better than cable companies.
People are also generally pretty happy with TV sets (and accompanying video players), credit unions and soft drinks – which scored 85, 85 and 84 out of 100, respectively.

At the conclusion of this time, he and his assistant, Estelle F. Dunham, wrote A Practical Manual for Schools, which the Oregon State Department of Public Instruction published in 1914. This manual was used as a guide for organizing and conducting play activities in Oregon and surrounding states.
Moving back to the Midwest, Weir organized a recreation system in Racine, Wisconsin, conducted research into the connection between recreation and industrial efficiency in Indiana, and assisted Minnesota cities with play and recreation issues. This latter work included a detail recreation survey and report of Minneapolis in 1915, in which he recommended how the park board, school district, public library, recreation committee of the city council, and a lay recreation commission could work together to extend recreation facilities without overlapping expenses and effort. In later years Weir was often asked to consult with the city of Minneapolis concerning the city's changing circumstances and growth needs.
By this time Weir had already conducted a study of summer camps (1923) and was compiling the information into an overall review of camping, the development of camps, camp programs and management, staff organization, leadership and training, nutrition, and finances.10 The resulting 636 page manual entitled Camping Out – A Manual of Organized Camping was published in 1927.
What resulted were two volumes of over 1000 pages of plans, diagrams, photographs, illustrations, and discussions of planning, design, construction, administration, legislation, staff, finances, publicity, recreation activities, and horticulture.12 Entitled Parks: A Manual of Municipal and County Parks, both volumes were printed in 1928. Other information from the surveys was published in the bulletin Park Recreation Areas in the United States as a supplement.
However, the park leaders of the American Association of Park Superintendents considered Weir initially ineligible for membership because his work was too recreational in scope and yet the recreation leaders felt he was too "park-minded." His writings and speeches gradually helped bridge this gap between the park and the recreation leaders.
Back in the United States, Weir conducted surveys of parks and recreation for the Governors of New Hampshire and the Virgin Islands as well as smaller surveys for numerous states and large cities such as Cleveland, Washington, D.C., and New Orleans. He also consulted with large parks within cities, including the 6400 acre Fairmount Park in Philadelphia.
For all his achievements in the parks and recreation movement, Weir was honored by the Indiana Municipal Park and Recreation Association in October of 1949, shortly before his unexpected death on November 13th.18 He was inducted into the Robert W. Crawford Recreation and Park Hall of Fame in October of 1988.

La Ciencia Divina es una religión fundada por la Sra. Malinda E. Cramer, el 4 de mayo de 1888, en San Francisco, Estados Unidos. Afirma que se basa en el Principio de la Omnipresencia de Dios.

Reseña histórica
El origen de la Ciencia Divina se remonta a fines del Siglo XIX, en los Estados Unidos, cuando en forma paralela e independiente, la Sra. Malinda E. Cramer, en San Francisco (California), y la Sra. Nona L. Brooks y sus hermanas, en Denver (Colorado), dieron inicio a sus enseñanzas espirituales; primero, con pequeños grupos en ambas ciudades y posteriormente, organizando las primeras iglesias.

Tanto la Sra. Cramer como la Sra. Brooks afirman que pasaron por experiencias espirituales que les llevaron a una rápida sanación de sus precarios estados de salud y de sus condiciones financieras y materiales. En el caso de la Sra. Cramer, en 1885 ella se habría recuperado de una invalidez de más de 20 años; mientras que la Sra. Brooks señala que se recuperó de una úlcera en la garganta en 1886.

Ambas afirman que no se conocían antes de pasar por dichas experiencias y que, luego de obtener sus curaciones por medio de la oración, se dedicaron a sistematizar una enseñanza que pudiera conducir a otras personas a la misma recuperación espiritual y física que ellas habían experimentado.
Según sus relatos, ellas se conocieron recién en 1889, en Denver, y pudieron comprobar que sus enseñanzas eran prácticamente iguales, por lo que decidieron empezar una estrecha colaboración en la difusión de las mismas.

Principales aspectos
Forma parte del denominado Movimiento del Nuevo Pensamiento, que cree en la omnipresencia y en la benevolencia de Dios. Los Científicos de la Divinidad señalan que ven a Dios como Amor, Sabiduría, Poder y Sustancia y que no creen que pueda existir ninguna otra fuerza que sea capaz de oponerse a Dios.

Se autodefine como una religión no dogmática; afirma que todas las religiones tienen su propia validez, ya que cada una de ellas refleja, a su manera, una forma particular de aproximarse a Dios.

Sus seguidores creen que existe una verdad eternamente invariable: que Dios constituye la naturaleza de todo lo que existe y que Dios, y solamente Dios, llena todos los reinos y dimensiones de la existencia.

Al igual que otras iglesias del Nuevo Pensamiento, le otorga una gran importancia al trabajo espiritual de la sanación por medio de la oración, tratando de emular el trabajo de Jesús, según se retrata en el Nuevo Testamento.

Su cofundadora Nona Brooks dijo: "la totalidad de la Ciencia Divina es la práctica de la Omnipresencia de Dios. La verdad, aquí y ahora, nos llega a través de la Biblia, la oración afirmativa, la contemplación y la meditación y la práctica de la Presencia de Dios".

Dos de los Ministros de la Ciencia Divina que se hicieron mundialmente conocidos por sus obras de autoayuda fueron: Joseph Murphy y Emmet Fox.

En los últimos años, ha ampliado su presencia a través de ministerios virtuales en sitios-web de Internet y también por medio de ministerios por correo electrónico.

Dr Brian Boydell, who was one of the most important figures in 20th-century Irish music, has died aged 83. After a period of declining health, he passed away peacefully in the company of his wife, Mary, and his sons Cormac and Barra at his home in Howth.
Boydell will be remembered by many as a true Renaissance man, a musician and composer first, but also accomplished in teaching, broadcasting, public speaking, writing, painting and photography. However, he will be remembered most of all as a composer and as an indefatigable organiser who did much to raise the profile of music in Ireland.
Brian Boydell was born in Dublin on St Patrick's Day, 1917, into an Anglo-Irish family. He was a pupil at Dragon School in Oxford before moving to Rugby in 1930. He spent the summer of 1935 in Heidelberg, learning German and partaking of the musical riches on offer. These included several complete hearings of Wagner's Ring cycle. Winning a choral scholarship to Clare College, Cambridge was a pointer to his future career; but he studied natural science, graduating in 1938 with a first-class degree.
His father wanted him to enter the family malting business, but agreed to a period of study in the Royal College of Music in London. On the outbreak of war he returned to Dublin and all thought of working in business was abandoned. His commitment to music was confirmed when he graduated from Trinity College with a Mus.B. in 1942 and, that same year, took up the conductorship of the Dublin Orchestral Players, a post he was to hold for 25 years.
In 1944 there were two important milestones: he married Mary Jones and was appointed professor of singing at the Royal Irish Academy of Music. He had a fine baritone voice and had been awarded the LRIAM in singing three years earlier.
From the start, Boydell the composer was not interested in arranging folk song or using it in his music. Along with his older contemporaries, Aloys Fleischmann and Frederick May, he sought to translate the traditions of European music into an Irish context, but in a modern way. Enduring influences in those early years, at least, were Delius and Bartok; and he believed in Sibelius's dictum that national identity in music does not depend on the use of folk song.
Boydell's reputation as a composer was enhanced after the first performance of his orchestral work In Memoriam Mahatma Gandhi in 1948. This piece, which shows clearly the value its composer placed on craftsmanship, was to become one of the most widely performed works by any Irish composer.
Important orchestral works from later years include the Violin Concerto (1954), Megalithic Ritual Dances (1956), Symphonic Inscapes (1968) and Masai Mara (1988). In addition there was a large output of chamber music, songs and works for mixed ensemble. His String Quartet No. 1 (1947) won the Radio Eireann Chamber Music Prize, and his second quartet, written 10 years later, is regarded as one of his finest works.
His international outlook in composition was combined with a distinctly Irish flavour. The independent path he trod as a composer encouraged younger generations and several of his former pupils are now main figures in Irish composition.
His accomplishments as a broadcaster made him a household name. He was a founder-member of the Music Association of Ireland, which played a central role in furthering those aims. In 1962 he was appointed professor of music at TCD, a post he held until 1982.
At TCD he was the driving force behind the establishment of the School of Music and the programme he introduced reflected clearly his broad, humanistic outlook. From 1961 to 1983 he was a member of the Arts Council.
The breadth of Brian Boydell's achievements as a composer, scholar, performer and inspiring administrator were recognised in many ways. In 1959 he gained a Mus.D. from Trinity College and in 1974 he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the NUI. In 1983 the Italian government made him a Commendatore della Repubblica Italiana, for services to Italian Renaissance music achieved largely through his directorship of the Dowland Consort (1958-1969). In 1984 he was appointed to Aosdana.
After his retirement from TCD and from the Arts Council, Brian Boydell concentrated on scholarship, especially on music in 18thcentury Dublin. The next few years saw the publication of A Dublin Musical Calendar 1700- 1760 and Rotunda Music in Eighteenth-Century Dublin. These, along with his many articles, including several for The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, are part of a legacy of composition, publication and policy-making which will endure.
There will be a musical celebration of the life of Brian Boydell in Trinity College Chapel at 4 p.m. next Tuesday after cremation at Glasnevin Cemetery.

Bucs rush back to top Samford 79-77
By N&N Admin on	 February 15, 2017 Local Sports
Trailing by seven points with five minutes left in regulation, the ETSU men's basketball team made the plays it needed down the stretch to drop Samford 79-77 Wednesday night in a tough Southern Conference battle at Freedom Hall.
The Buccaneers – who improved to 21-6 overall, 11-3 in SoCon play – needed a critical offensive rebound and put back from senior forward Tevin Glass, a game-winning basket with 10 seconds left from senior forward Hanner Mosquera-Perea , and a final defensive stop from senior guard T.J. Cromer all in the final minute to secure the win. Glass, who scored 12 of the Bucs' first 15 points in the contest, finished with a career high and team high 16 points, while Cromer matched that figure with 16 himself and Mosquera-Perea netted 10 to lead the ETSU offense.
PHOTOS BY COLLIN BROOKS
"Give Samford a lot of credit, they came in here and played an outstanding game," said ETSU head coach Steve Forbes, whose team won its sixth straight inside Freedom Hall. "Down the stretch, I just told our guys that we are the team playing for a championship and we needed to play like it. We did what we needed to do."
Despite playing without star post player Wyatt Walker, the Bulldogs (15-12, 6-8) certainly performed well. Shooting 59 percent from the field in the first half and finishing at 50 percent from the floor in the game, the Bulldogs got double-figure scoring from three players, including a game high 21 points from junior guard Demetrius Denzel-Dyson and 19 from junior guard Alex Thompson.
Samford's strong effort resulted in a 70-63 lead with 4:49 left in the game, and after a turnover by the Bucs, the Bulldogs were racing to the other end of the floor for a chance to go up nine and put the game away. Instead, the game turned at that point, as the Samford layup attempt rimmed out and the Bucs drove the other way for a traditional 3-point play from junior guard Devontavius Payne.
Cromer then followed with a steal and layup to get the Bucs to within two at 70-68, and he followed that a deep 3-pointer a minute later as the shot clock expired to make it 72-71 in favor of Samford. The
Bulldogs remained up 75-73 when ETSU senior A.J. Merriweather made one of two free throws, but Glass grabbed the miss and put it back to give the Bucs the lead at 76-75.
Samford once again took the advantage at 77-76 before Mosquera-Perea hit the go-ahead shot to make it 78-77. At that point, Samford had the ball with 10 seconds remaining, but Cromer's strong defense on Bulldogs' guard Josh Sharkey forced a turnover and the Bucs escaped with the win.
The first half was an impressive offensive display by both teams, as Bucs shot 54 percent from the field only to be bested by Samford's 59 percent clip. ETSU led for over 13 minutes of the first half and held its largest lead of the first half at 28-20 following a 3-pointer from Payne with 9:06 left before the break.
Unfortunately for ETSU, Samford regrouped at that point and outscored the Bucs 19-10 the rest of the way to take a 39-38 lead into the intermission. In the opening 20 minutes, the Bucs got a team high 12 points from Glass, while Denzel-Dyson led all scorers with 14 points.
ETSU finished the game with a 31-27 rebounding advantage, outscoring Samford 38-24 in the paint, 25-21 off turnovers, 16-5 on second-chance points, and 14-6 on fast break points. However, the Bulldogs made two more 3-pointers than the Bucs and went 23-of-28 from the foul line compared to a 19-of-25 clip for the Bucs.

Book Discussion – Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha with Dr. Robert Jacobs
C.K. Choi Building
1855 West Mall, Vancouver, BC
RSVPlaunch
Please register in advance for this event.
Cold War nuclear testing, production, and disasters like Chernobyl and Fukushima have exposed millions to dangerous radioactive particles; these millions are the global hibakusha. This talk will discuss the plight of communities that were exposed to this fallout, while also examining the colonialism(s) with which nuclear weapon states "select the irradiated," the political use of medical models to render their harm invisible, and the millennia-long legacies of our embrace of nuclear technologies.
Speaker Bio: Robert Jacobs is a Professor of History at the Hiroshima Peace Institute and the Graduate School of Peace Studies of Hiroshima City University. He is a historian of science and technology focused on nuclear technologies and radiation technopolitics. His book, Nuclear Bodies: The Global Hibakusha (Yale 2022) presents over a decade of field research conducted in more than 20 countries on the effects of radiation exposures to individuals and communities from nuclear weapon testing, production and accidents, globally. He has published multiple books and articles on nuclear history and culture. Academia is a second career for Jacobs, who in a former life was a chef and worked in the organic produce industry.

We understand what your engagement ring means. You're on the path to choosing the most symbolic and iconic expression of your love and commitment. You have our attention.
Celebrating this commitment with a diamond ring is a centuries old tradition. Kayes have only been around since 1948, but we think our 70 years experience as a privately owned diamond specialist counts for quite a lot.
We promise to deliver a finely crafted and unique ring for your engagement. You can choose from our vintage and ready to wear collection or have a bespoke ring made to your exact specification. We will deliver a ring that is as unique as you are.
You can also relax knowing you are in safe hands. We will guide you both to a point where when you will be able to commit to a design and diamond with total confidence. We know you'll also be very pleased with the deal that you struck.
Our engagement rings are beautifully designed and extremely well priced. In fact, we know that we are one of the very best in the region for quality, service and value.
We subscribe to the Kimberley Process which seeks to eradicate conflict diamonds from the supply chain. We buy diamonds only from sources who also subscribe to this policy, to guarantee, as much as we can, that your diamond is entirely conflict free.
With the advent of the internet the pricing and selling of diamonds has become highly competitive. Also, the amount of information regarding diamond quality and value has expanded exponentially. We don't sell diamonds online, but we certainly sell diamonds at a price that make the internet almost irrelevant unless you really enjoy risk taking in every area of your life!
Kayes have been dealing in diamonds for 70 years and during this time we have never bought a diamond without first examining carefully. Our diamond 'shopping basket' is therefore disabled and we encourage you to call in and look at diamonds before you commit to buy.
"Choosing an engagement ring is quite possibly one of life's most stressful purchases. It seemed only natural to gain an understanding in diamonds and for many that means turning to the internet. In my experience this offered a starting block but quickly became a minefield of contradicting advice and in short an absolute headache. If this sounds familiar I strongly recommend you spend some time with the staff at Kayes.
I can speak from experience that unlike many others, Kayes offer informative and trustworthy advice and are willing to take the time to share their knowledge and introduce you to the world of diamonds. I found it was only when provided with loose stones, the tools to examine them and expert advice that you can uncover the true beauty of the stones.
Having come very close to purchasing a diamond on the internet my advice would be to stop, spend an hour with the team at Kayes and see if your still willing to buy something that expensive, only on the merits of a piece of paper.
Congratulations on your engagement – the beginning not the end of your relationship with Kayes.
Bring your ring in for regular free checking and cleaning whenever you are passing, but please let us see your ring at least once a year. We will check over the condition of the diamond and its setting, making sure you leave with your diamond ring looking as new.
Your next purchase may well be a wedding ring. Kayes will make sure that the girls ring sits perfectly with the engagement ring and that the boy is more than happy with his matching band. Engagement clients will receive a generously discounted price for their wedding rings.
Throughout your life Kayes will be here to assist you with this and future purchases. We offer a full range of professional and traditional services that have almost vanished from the high street.
