I carried it through the woods.
The world is full of answers. Some are right, some are wrong.
Got round to actually shooting one 5x4 (large format film) frame of a tree ( well part of it anyway) which I walk pass at least twice everyday when going into the village.
Broke my sunglasses with it when hanging it around my neck!
Edit: a chough or similar. Possibly a foreign bird that has been called a jackdaw incorrectly.
Went to town, where they started the "silent time".
Went to snap at a local running race and while knocking the shutter speed down, managed to change from AF-C to AF-S NOOOOOOOOOOO! Leaders out of focus and … Bollards were sharp though.
Took a few shots from the window with the EOS 1V, but without any film loaded and left the house without it.
Just a good feeling having made some shots and there will be no work afterwards. Nothing to develop and scan, no memory cards, no processing at all, great!
Hi, I took pictures of a squirrel.
Nice to see a Red, we only have greys round here, Reds are very few and far between.

The Glass Bowl is a stadium in Toledo, Ohio. It is primarily used for American football, and is the home field of the American football team of the University of Toledo Rockets. It is located on the school's Bancroft campus, just south of the banks of the Ottawa River. Known for its blend of old and new, it retains the traditional stonework around the field throughout all its expansions.
Originally known as University Stadium, it was completed in 1937 at a cost of only $313,558 as a Works Progress Administration project. Originally the natural seating bowl held 8,000 in two sideline grandstands. There was a grass hill at the south end of the stadium, and at the open (north) end of the bowl were two stone towers (still standing), that served as makeshift housing for the football team in its early years. Following World War II, the stadium was renovated, with many glass elements. Because of this, and the city's concentration on the industry, the stadium was renamed the Glass Bowl in 1946. South end zone stands were added in 1966, and further expansion came following Toledo's 35-game win streak from 1969 to 1971, bringing capacity up to 18,500.
In 1999, the Toledo-based Ohio Cannon of the Regional Football League played at various stadiums, including the Glass Bowl, but did not finish the season.[3]
The stadium hosted the 2001 MAC Championship Game.[4]
In 1990, the stadium had its largest expansion take place, adding a second level of seats to both sidelines. As part of the $18.5 million renovations, a three-story press box, 45 luxury suites, a 400-seat Stadium Club, sports information offices, and the Larimer Athletic Complex were built. The three-story press box, the second largest in the nation, was the greatest improvement in terms of upgrades, as the former press box was barely 30 feet (9.1 m) long and could only hold approximately 50 people.
Further improvements include a video scoreboard in the north end zone in 1999, and the upgrade to a Field Turf playing surface in 2008. A new video board was installed in 2010.
In 2016, a $3.5 million renovation took place, including replacement of the field turf, changes to the facade, updating concessions, restrooms, locker rooms, and ticket booths, as well as other minor cosmetic changes to the stadium.
The largest crowd in Glass Bowl history for a University of Toledo football game was 36,852 for a game against the United States Naval Academy on October 27, 2001.
36,852 vs. Navy (2001)
36,502 vs. Northern Illinois (2001)
34,950 vs. Minnesota (2001)
34,900 vs. Marshall (2000)

In 1961, the University of Toledo procured a genuine rocket from the U.S. Army missile program. The one-ton rocket, which sits outside the Glass Bowl -- aimed to hit the 50-yard line of arch-rival Bowling Green's Doyt Perry Stadium -- carries two sets of fins and a propellant booster capable of guiding the missile to supersonic velocity. (source NCAA WIKI)
The Glass Bowl was often formerly used by the Glassmen as a rehearsal facility during weekends in the late spring and early summer. In addition, the Glass Bowl is used for monster truck rallies, commencements, and concerts, among other uses.

Hoff earned her bachelor of science in nursing from Rush University and her master's in public health, master's of science in nursing and doctorate from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
"I am honored to join the distinguished faculty of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center Fran and Earl Ziegler College of Nursing. The College is a prestigious institution with a long history of preparing and positioning nurses to advance healthcare regionally, nationally, and globally," said Hoff. "Building upon past successes, I look forward to collaborating with faculty, staff, students, and others to address 21st century nursing practice, leadership, advocacy, outreach, and scholarship challenges and opportunities."

The sea was storming with whitecap waves. The rain whipped against the grey cliffs on the shore. Great sadness had faced the family. Death had taken away the chief's wife. A difficult labor had been lasting for an entire day. Relief had been sought form the healer's herbs and poultices. Prayers had been said to the gods and a sacrifice had been offered to the sea, but the gods did not relent. It was time to put the deceased to her last journey over the northern sea to the land of the dead.
Ancestral graves had been erected on the rocks, to the waterfront, under the sky and the sun. The rock cairns informed the mariners that these lands had been cleared and settled a long time ago by the large family of Saarno. A new grave would be erected as well below these burial cairns. Suitable rocks had already been collected from the surroundings. Plenty of rocks were needed.
When the rain stopped the body was laid to a pyre to be burned. The chief set the fire himself. A flame burst and the fire quickly spread to the pyre. The fire released the soul from the body for the journey to the afterlife. Little Ilmi was frightened by the sight. She could not understand how fire could help someone to sail over the sea.
When the last firebrand had burnt out and the embers had cooled down, the earthly remains of the deceased one were collected from the pyre. Only a part of the bones were placed on top of the cliff inside the rock circle. Each member of the family carried one stone to the grave. Ilmi had a red sand stone in her hands. Carefully she laid it amongst other stones. At the same time a ray of light peaked through the clouds. The gods were relented and the soul of the chief's wife had reached her destination.
The oldest burial cairns in Sammallahdenmäki are located on top of a rock. The largest cairns are the "Long Ruin of Huilu" and the "Church Floor". The former is 24 meters long and 8 meters wide while the latter's size is 19×18 meters. However, most of the cairns are about 10 meters in diameter. In the Bronze Age these burial cairns were always at the seaside. Standing in a high ground they could be seen from afar and they also acted as landmarks for navigators and as signposts for other travelers. Younger graves were built lower downhill – today they can be found in the forests or next to the fields, as the coastline is further away now than it was back then due to ground elevation.
The importance of the land increased in the Bronze Age when human started to clear and modify the soil. Indeed, the burial cairns are seen to indicate the borders and extent of a family's lands. The location of the graves at the seaside or along passage ways can also be related to beliefs of some sort of kingdom of the dead. The human world was surrounded by the sea of the world which needed to be crossed in order to reach the land of the dead.
The dead were cremated and often buried under piles of round or oval rocks. The quadrangular shape of the Church Floor in Sammallahdenmäki is unique and has no parallels in Scandinavia. The cairns include various kinds of stone circles and barriers as well as coffins built of large vertical stones. It has been suggested that their purpose was to prevent the dead from returning back to the land of the living. Burning the dead also released the soul from the body so that it could travel to the kingdom of the dead. If the body was not burnt, the soul could stay as a ghost amongst the living.
The bodies were burned somewhere else than in the mounds. The bones were collected from the funeral pyre and cleansed before they were placed in the grave. Each cremated body contains several kilograms of bones, but the graves often have only a part of the bones, sometimes just a few pieces. Only few artefacts were put to the graves to accompany the body – many graves have nothing at all. One cairn in Sammallahdenmäki contains a double-coffin made by erected stones. Burnt human bones and a fragment of a bronze bracelet were found in one of these coffins. The other coffin had no remains. It is possible that a non-cremated body was buried there – if the deceased had been cremated, the burnt bones would have been preserved. This grave belongs to the same era than the dwelling site of Huilu.
The gender of the bodies buried in the cairns of Sammallahdenmäki during the Bronze Age remains unidentified. It is also very difficult to tell the age of the body from burnt bones. However, it has been possible to identify the age from some of the bones and in all of these cases the dead has turned out to be an adult. Apparently only a part of the people living in Sammallahdenmäki in the Bronze Age was buried in the cairns – perhaps only the most important members of the family. The burial cairns were originally built for one person, but in time they were expanded and stone layers were thickened when the members of the same family were buried in the cairn as long as they lived in the same area. Therefore the cairns became memorial sites or cenotaphs for entire families.

Don't Boo Carlos Beltran
Tonight, Carlos Beltran returns to Citi Field. This time he's wearing a Yankees uniform. That doesn't change the fact that he's an All Time great Met.
If you look at WAR, Beltran is the sixth best Mets to ever put on the uniform. He was better than Edgardo Alfonzo, Jose Reyes, Keith Hernandez, and Mike Piazza. In his seven years with the Mets, he went to five All Star Games and won three Gold Gloves. He should have won the 2006 NL MVP Award. He was the best CF the Mets ever had in their history.
More than that he was a gamer. After that violent August 11, 2005 collision with Mike Cameron, he suffered facial fractures and was hospitalized. He only missed four games. In the last game at Shea, with the season on the line, he hit a game tying homerun to keep their hopes alive. He was also terrific in the 2006 postseason with a .422 OBP and 3 homeruns.
That's where it all gets mixed up. The strikeout. I can't defend it. He didn't even try to foul if off. What I can defend is the work that came before and after it. I was happy when he got a loud ovation at the 2013 All Star Game. It was all the more impressive because he was wearing a Cardinals uniform. He comes back again tonight wearing a Yankee uniform.
It's not cause to boo. He didn't leave the Mets for them. He was traded away, and the Mets never showed interest in bringing him back. So when he comes up to bat the first time, give him some applause to thank him for his time with the Mets.

Hello people. This is Uncle Chris writing to give you the best info on buying right and eating well! You'll be hearing from me four times a year, at the start of each season.
Apricots, cherries, peaches, nectarines … these are a few of my favourite things.
I could almost break into song! We are indeed blessed to have the best stone fruit in the world growing right here – in the orchards of Tasmania.
Every summer along our roadsides are stalls selling the freshest fruit … and at the best price. The Coal Valley, especially, has an abundance of fruit on offer right through summer.
Apricots are my favourite. They are great when eaten fresh just minutes after being plucked from the trees. But there are so many wonderful ways to use them in cooking. They can be added to curries and chicken dishes. They are also great when sliced finely in salads. And they can be baked in the oven, with a little brown sugar and butter in the middle, for a scrumptious brekky. Apricot crumble is another favourite of mine.
Inside you'll read my recipe for apricot flan, a great alternative dessert to the traditional Christmas plum pudding. On this page I've given you an easy recipe for delicious apricot chutney. It goes well with cold meats and cheese, or try it alongside a curry.
10 varieties grown here. They're all great!
The best apricots are picked ripe – this way they have the best flavour. Fruit that is picked unripe stays just that – unripe. You'll know they are ripe by their fragrance and they are slightly soft to the touch.
You can of course buy them in the supermarkets, but the freshest and cheapest will be sold at nearby roadside stalls, especially in the Coal Valley. They will be selling from $1.50 to $3.50 a kilo, depending on quality.
One problem with apricots is that they don't store well. Eat them or use them in cooking as soon as you can. If you have to store them, do so in a paper bag in the fridge, but just for a few days at most. Don't put them in plastic bags.
And if you're eating them fresh off the tree, don't forget to wipe your chin!
Halve or quarter apricots and discard blemishes and kernels.
Blend all ingredients, place in a saucepan and bring to the boil. Cook on low heat without lid on, stirring occasionally to avoid burning, for about 20 minutes until the mixture is soft.
While the chutney is still hot, spoon it into sterilised jars. Put on the sterilised lids, and leave jars upside down on a table until they are cold. Store the jars in a dark place, such as pantry or cupboard. Your home-made chutney will keep up to 6 months.
When a jar is opened, it can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks.
How to sterilise glass jars and lids: Wash jars in hot soapy water, rinse well and drain upside down. Place in oven set at 120˚C for 15 minutes remove from oven when cool enough to handle.
5 minutes and left to dry upside-down on a clean towel.
Cut puff pastry into 14 equal squares and prick closely with a fork.
Cover a large baking tray with baking paper and place the squares on it.
Cut slices of ham in half and place a slice on each pastry square, leaving an edge of about 2 cm.
Mix the topping ingredients together and spread on the ham.
Cut tomatoes in ½ cm slices and put one on each square.
Season with a little salt and pepper, drizzle a little olive oil over squares, garnish with some fresh oregano leaves and serve warm.
Mix the marinade ingredients and brush the chicken. Rest for 30 minutes.
Put in roasting pan with a whole garlic (cut across the cloves in half).
Preheat oven to 250˚C, roast for 15 minutes in top half of oven.
Reduce heat to 180˚C, roast for another 45 minutes in the middle of the oven.
on a platter and keep warm in the switched off oven.
Place these in the roasting pan along with the residue from baking and reduce liquid by half on top of the stove.
75 g butter is slowly blended into the reduced liquid.
Pour sauce through a sieve and season with salt and pepper if necessary.
Serve the chicken and sauce with new potatoes and a green salad.
In a bowl mix salt and flour, cut the cold butter into small cubes and rub the mixture between your hands until it looks like breadcrumbs. Slowly add water as needed and mix. Don't work dough too hard – that will make the dough tough.
Put tray in the fridge again to rest, while you prepare the apricots.
800 g fresh apricots cut in half and kernels removed [other seasonal fruit could be used].
Arrange with the cut side up on your prepared tray, now make the custard filling.
Mix well with a whisk, pour over the apricots, sprinkle some extra sugar extra over the flan and bake in the bottom half of a pre-warmed oven at 220˚C for 35-45 minutes or until brown.
Take the flan out of the oven and put on a wire rack to cool.
While still warm, remove the flan from the tray and let it cool down on the wire rack.
You can substitute apricots with other fruit, depending on the season. Remember, buy fruit when it's fresh and plentiful.
Whisk butter until soft, then add sugar, salt and vanilla essence and whisk.
500 g plain flour is then added and mixed in to make a dough.

Mix well and dip the cookies, while still warm, on one side and cool on a rack.
As a general rule, fresh herbs taste better in food than dried herbs that are sold in jars or little packs.
There are two varieties of parsley – curly and flat leaf. Avoid buying parsley with yellowing leaves and check their stems for freshness.
Chives, which usually are sold tightly wrapped in plastic, should not appear to be limp or have soggy leaves.
Chives and parsley in jars are not worth buying – much of their flavour has been lost in the drying process.
Rosemary (featured in my roast chicken recipe) is another herb which is best when fresh, and usually it is reasonably easy to find – in supermarkets and also growing in many gardens, because of its blue flowers in spring.
Basil discolours when put in the fridge. To keep it as fresh as possible, put the bunch in water like you do with flowers and place on kitchen shelf – it also keeps away the flies! You can also freeze basil: dry it on kitchen paper, dip it in oil, place in a plastic bag and keep in the freezer. Use when still frozen.
Make sure the fresh herbs are dry, pack them loosely in a plastic bag, blow some air into the bag, tie off and put into the vegetable compartment of your fridge.
Whole sprigs of herbs can be put in bags and frozen. When needed, just rub the frozen leaves between your fingers and add to what you are cooking.
Finely chop herbs in small container, freeze them and add frozen to the dish you are cooking.

Of course, we all do.
Follow a few simple guidelines and you will be growing fresh, healthy vegies in just weeks.
Most vegetables require four things – good drainage, well fertilised soil, plenty of sun and regular watering.
Start by finding a spot that gets maximum sun. Ideally it will be somewhere protected from strong winds and not in a low part where water might collect.
If you don't have an obvious spot, start growing vegies in pots or polystyrene vegie boxes. You'll be amazed just how much you can grow.
If you do have space, mark out a bed with string and pegs (4m long by 1m wide would be ideal) and start digging.
Aim to create a bed of crumbly soil to a depth of about 1½ times the length of the blade of the spade.
Next, dig in some compost. This adds goodness to the soil and improves its ability to grow things. If you can lay your hands on some well rotted cow or sheep manure you're in luck – or you might need to buy a bag of compost from your local nursery.
Once you get going you can start producing your own free compost from grass clippings and kitchen scraps (we'll talk about that in the next mailout).
Most vegie gardens also benefit from the addition of lime (calcium oxide) to "sweeten" the soil. It's a white powder and you can buy it quite cheaply at a garden centre.
Sprinkle it over the soil surface (about a handful to a square metre). It will wash into the soil so don't worry about digging it in.
You can grow from seedlings, but you will save money by buying packets of seeds.
If growing in pots, old containers, buckets or even large tin cans will do. Make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom (most plants don't like wet feet) and use potting mix, not ordinary soil.
Different crops grow at different times of the year. Check with your nursery to see what you can grow now. Or look at the sowing times printed on the back of the seed packets.
You can team up with a neighbour and each grow different vegies so you can swap some of yours for ones you don't grow, and vice versa.
For some more ideas, visit the vegetable garden at Hobart's Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens – it will get you inspired.
• Don't be too fussy. It is far better to have a few blemishes on your vegies than to have perfect-looking crops that have been subjected to possibly harmful chemicals.
• Mulching helps prevent soils from drying out. Lucerne hay is a good mulch and you can often get a bale or two cheaply. Layer it 6-10cm over your vegie patch, then dig it in after your crops have finished (it will improve the soil). And check round your neighbourhood for free mulches. Good mulches include pea straw, decayed autumn leaves, shredded newspaper (not too thickly), woodchips (add some ferttiliser because the chips will rob nitrogen from the soil) and old pinebark.
• Rotate the position in which you grow particular crops from year to year. This prevents disease setting in and helps avoid stunted crops.
• Weed regularly. A little weeding often will keep things under control. Weeds in a vegetable garden mean crops must share nutrients.
• Stagger plantings. The aim is to grow crops on a continuous basis, not to have a glut.
Prune unhealthy growth and destroy.
• Never water when temperatures are high.
• Avoid vegetable seeds or seedlings coming into direct contact with fresh manure as burning can occur.
• Don't spray vast quantities of liquid fertiliser on your plants. It is expensive and what the plants don't use will quickly leach from your vegie patch.

ELIZA LEADBEATER
County Commission District 3 - Alton / Barnstead / Gilford / Laconia Ward 2
Ms. Leadbeater is a candidate for County Commissioner
Eliza Leadbeater's career spans forty years as an economic developer, entrepreneur, and educator
After receiving her degree in Recreation Management from the State University of NY at Cortland, Eliza served as Assistant Superintendent of Parks and Recreation for Brattleboro, Vermont. Moving to Britain in the late 60's, she earned her teaching qualifications from the University of Keele College of Education in Crewe, England. She has taught in UK and USA in one room village schools to inner city high schools.
In the early 70's, Eliza launched her own manufacturing and mail-order business in rural England exporting hand-textile equipment and products to over 35 countries annually. While residing in Britain at the request of publishers, she authored two books, numerous feature articles, and a regular column for an American textile magazine. In 1982, she sold the company and returned to family in Newport, RI and began importing containers of European antiques, textiles, and other products.
After being the featured presenter at a textile workshop in New Hampshire, Eliza realized how much she missed rural New England, so in 1985 she sold her import business and accepted a temporary teaching position at Fall Mountain High School in Alstead, NH. She has served as Director of Conferences and Special Programs at New England College, Assistant to the President at Keene State College, Assistant Director of Continuing Education at University of Vermont, and Economic Development Manager for Addison County Vermont Chamber of Commerce.
While in Addison County, many of her businesses were agricultural. She helped organize a continuing education program for dairy farmers, so they would be exposed to new farm and business management practices. She was a board member for a statewide marketing program, Vermont Makes It Special and used that experience to help NH Rural Development Council launch NH Made. She authored for the state a strategic plan for the creation of a World Trade organization and was contracted to the Vermont Folklife Center for the development of a strategic plan that addressed sustainability. Eliza also was invited to serve on the Vermont Educational Television (now PBS) advisory panel for the entrepreneur series: Venturing: The Entrepreneurial Challenge. This thirteen-part series featured many of the businesses that Eliza assisted. In 1992 it was awarded an Emmy.
She retired in 2007 after serving fifteen years as the founding Executive Director of the Belknap County Economic Development Council. During her tenure at the BCEDC, Eliza established a revolving loan fund that lent over $6 million to entrepreneurs and local businesses, in addition, to assisting businesses in securing millions in conventional loans. She also helped secure millions in grants for businesses, non-profits, and communities. The organization under Eliza's leadership became a model for rural development activities in New Hampshire and garnered over twenty national and state recognitions most notably the NH Small Business Administration's Financial Service Advocate of the Year (2000)– the first non-profit to receive this award; International Economic Development Council's Economic Development Program Award (2004); and the USDA-Rural Development Partner of the Year (2006).
Eliza is recognized as the visionary and driving force behind the renovation of many under-utilized properties in the region as well as her work in securing grants for workforce training and developing programs such as Making It in the Lakes Region, Insights into Industry, NH First Job, and Live, Work, and Play NH. She also played a part in initiatives such as Leadership Lakes Region and NH Made and launched the NH Alliance of Regional Development Organizations. Governor Merrill asked her to serve on the steering committee for the formation of the NH Rural Development and later appointed her to the Board. In 1998 she was appointed by Governor Shaheen to serve on the newly created Workforce Opportunity Council (now Workforce Investment Board) and her appointment was renewed until she stepped down in 2017. Eliza also represented economic development on numerous other state boards, advisory committees, and focus groups including NH Forum on Higher Education Board of Directors, Community Development Advisory Committee for NH Housing Finance Authority, Office of State Planning, and the advisory board of the National Association of Development Organization/Economic Development Finance Service.
Her work of behalf of Belknap County has been recognized in the Congressional Record of the US Senate and House of Representatives, as well as the NH Senate, House, and Office of the Governor. Also, she has been awarded the NH Excellence in Business Award for Public Service (2004), NH Outstanding Woman in Business (2007), Citizens Bank's "Not Your Typical Partner" Award (2007), a broker's license in recognition of her work by the NH Real Estate Commission, and an honorary degree from the Lakes Region Community College. Eliza is also included in Ray Carbone's book, Legendary Locals of New Hampshire's Lakes Region.
In her retirement, Eliza continues to assist non-profits behind the scenes. She enjoys volunteering, gardening, kayaking, and a variety of crafts.

Excerpt from Laconia Daily Sun
Feb 3, 2007 BCEDC honored by USDA Rural Development
The Belknap County Economic Development Council (BCEDC) was named "New Hampshire Partner of the Year" for 2006 by the United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development in a ceremony at the council's headquarters yesterday. In presenting the award, Steven Epstein of USDA, said "Eliza used every program." "She doesn't let go of things. She finds ways to make them happen."
Representing Governor John Lynch, who marked the occasion with a citation, Executive Councilor Ray Burton remarked that "a long time ago we learned in Concord that when Eliza calls, we just do it. It's easier that way."
Since 2001, USDA Rural Development has invested $36.3-million in Belknap County, including $3.1-million in 2006. "Not bad for a county with less than 60,000 people," Epstein remarked.Top of Form
Mar 29, 2007Governor helps economic development council thank Leadbeater for her leadership
Governor John Lynch joined the Belknap County Economic Development Council (BCEDC) to celebrate its 15th birthday at Church Landing last evening and to honor Eliza Leadbeater, who is retiring as executive director after leading the organization since it was founded.
Chairman Greg Dickinson introduced Leadbeater as "the captain of the ship" to a thunderous standing ovation.
"Eliza has dragged me, willingly I might add, to many of the businesses in Belknap County," Lynch said, adding that "the BCEDC is a model of what economic development is all about and we are fortunate to have people like you in the community." The governor presented Leadbeater with a scrapbook, filled with reminders of her work to enrich and enliven the economy of the Lakes Region.
"It's a special bonus to have the governor here," Dickinson said, "especially for Eliza."
Jolinda LeClair director of Rural Development for New Hampshire and Vermont, called Leadbeater "the most energetic, intelligent, creative enthusiastic out-of-the-box economic director in two states." The package Leadbeater fashioned with Rural Development to finance construction of new quarters for the New Hampshire Humane Society in Laconia, she said, was so innovative that it made the front page of a report by the United States Department of Agriculture in Washington. "I offer a huge thank you to Eliza, one of the most powerful economic developers we know," Le Clair said.

Researchers are taking two paths toward the same goal: a blood test for depression.
Eva Redei's quest to find blood-borne signs of depression and anxiety began in 1989—when the prevailing scientific view "was that psychiatric disease wasn't like other diseases, and that using animals to find biomarkers for depression was shocking," says Redei, professor of psychiatry, behavioral sciences and physiology at Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine. Yet she persevered, breeding two strains of rats that were almost identical, except that one group had severe symptoms mirroring human depression. She exposed other rats to chronic psychological stress by confining them in a tube.
Redei found distinct genetic markers in the blood that set apart depressed rats from healthy controls. Then 26 markers were tested in human adolescents, and 11 helped differentiate between depressed and non-depressed teens; 18 separated those with major depression from those with depression and anxiety disorder. In a separate study, these biomarkers are yielding promising results in adult depression, says Redei.
At the same time, scientists working with Ridge Diagnostics in San Diego have analyzed mathematical models of existing biomarker candidates and found nine that appear to have the strongest predictive power for depression. "It has been so difficult to develop robust depression biomarkers because each risk factor has a modest effect," says George Papakostas, director of treatment-resistant depression studies at Massachusetts General Hospital. Ridge Diagnostics developed a blood test based on the nine biomarkers—associated with inflammation, neuron development and stress responses in the brain.
In a pilot study, the test accurately pinpointed depression in 90% of depressed patients. The next step is to gauge the test's ability to detect hard-to-diagnose depression. "The test could help a primary care physician diagnose difficult cases," says Papakostas, lead author of an account published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. It might also be used to see whether a drug is working or to predict the likelihood of relapse—but more studies are needed.
The best signposts—from blood pressure readings to genetic tests—can personalize diagnosis and treatment. Most don't help.

As the Doha Round of WTO trade negotiations drag on, questions have been raised about the importance of exports for U.S. farmers and ranchers. Efforts to boil down trade numbers to one dollar figure or percent of production have left much information unstated. This analysis relates exports to the value of farm production.
The starting point is the USDA supply and use estimates released by the World Agricultural Outlook Board (WAOB) on July 12, 2006 for the 2005/06 marketing years for crops and the 2006 calendar year for livestock and poultry. When other sources are used in this analysis, they are given.
The major farm program crops are the easiest to analyze because the WAOB provides the most complete information for corn, wheat, soybeans, cotton, rice, grain sorghum, barley and oats. This analysis uses acres harvested, total use, export volumes and average farm prices. Total use for the marketing year is used rather than total production because it normally does not match with domestic and export use. The farm value of exports is calculated by multiplying export volume times the average farm price. Acres exported are calculated by multiplying the total acres harvested by exports as a percent of total use. The following table provides a summary.
These eight farm program crops have a total farm value of $54.36 billion for the 2005/06 marketing years and exports account for $19.41 billion, 35.7 percent of the total value. The 82.1 million acres of production exported are 36.6 percent of the total acres harvested for the eight crops.
The farm value of exports for meat, eggs and dairy is harder to calculate. These are sometimes sold as products that may have greater value in an importing country than in the U.S. and increase the value of the live animal by a larger amount than the export weight would imply. To keep the process simple, this analysis will use the farm level value of commodities even though it likely understates somewhat the actual value of exports. The WAOB provides estimates for 2006 for production and exports for beef, pork, broilers, turkeys and eggs. A dairy production estimate is provided, but not exports, so the average of the last six years is used. The average farm prices for live hogs and cattle are used as estimated by the WAOB. Prices for the other commodities are taken from estimates by the Economic Research Service (ERS) and the National Agricultural Statistics Service of USDA.
The WAOB does not provide estimates of fruit and vegetable production and exports. Information from the ERS farm income estimates for 2006 and the ERS "Fruit and Vegetable Backgrounder" released in April of 2006 is used for this analysis. Farm sector cash receipts for fruits and vegetables for calendar year 2006 are estimated by ERS at $32.9 billion. The fruit and vegetable backgrounder reports that U.S. fruit and vegetable production has averaged 98.5 million tons per year for the past five years. The backgrounder also states, "In 2002-04 the United States shipped 9.4 percent of its total fruit and vegetable supply to other countries, compared with 8.8 percent in 1992-94." Applying the 9.4 percent shipped to other countries to the $32.9 billion of cash receipts for fruits and vegetables gives a farm value of exports of $3.1 billion. Since many exports of fruits and vegetables are higher valued products, this analysis assumes that 12 percent of the cash value is a better estimate. That puts the farm value of exports for 2006 at $3.9 billion.
Some consumer-oriented ready-to-eat items are exported and are not included in the categories listed above. According to data from the Foreign Agricultural Service of USDA these products totaled $8.12 billion in calendar year 2005. The assumption in this analysis is that exports for these items in 2006 will be about the same as 2005 and that the farm value of the products in the exported items is 20 percent of the total value, $1.6 billion.

Sears Bankruptcy
Sears has just filed bankruptcy and is planning on closing around 142 more stores around the end of this year. They already have planned to close additional 46 stores by next month.
Kmart and Sears might end up like Radio Shack, Sports Authority, and Toys "R" Us: in a graveyard! Sears has been going through this problem for many years and they can't stop it from happening because they can't sell anything and make profit for the store to last longer.
How Much Are They Losing ?
Sears spent money on advertising and it failed to invest in the upkeep and modernization of its outlets. Sears and Kmart stores grew barren and rundown. Sears did many things that they thought would help their store stay alive. Such as cutting off their most valuable assets, including a massive real estate footprint in order to raise money for Sears to survive.
According to the bankruptcy, Sears was losing about $125,000 a month. Sears dumped the Craftsman brand, which it sold exclusively. The company has been looking for a buyer to buy the Kenmore brand, which are appliances, but they turned down the $400 million dollar deal that they were offered for the Kenmore brand.
Sears At First
Sears was once the nation's largest retailer and its largest employer. In the popular days, it was both Walmart and Amazon of its time. Sears started off as a watch business and then they started getting mass product goods. The Sears catalog was the way many Americans first started to buy mass-produced goods. That was a huge success for Sears because it was an enormous shift for people who lived on farms and in small towns and made many of the goods they needed on their own, including clothes and furniture.
Sears changed America because Sears was the Amazon and Walmart of today's time. Sears and Kmart has 3,500 US stores between them and know the have fewer than 900. The company had 89,000 employees as of February. That's down from 317,000 US employees in early 2006.

Don't shut down cause break is coming


Popcorn and pretzels meet caramel and candy in this salty-sweet house.
Decorate the side panels: Using the piping bag fitted with a small tip, pipe a pea-size dot of icing onto the back of 1 of the peppermint hard candies and attach it to the top center of 1 of the side panels. Pipe icing onto the backs of 4 of the fig bar pieces and attach them to the panels as evenly spaced windows shutters. Pipe icing to draw 2 windows between the shutters. Line the frames with pretzel sticks, breaking them to fit. Pipe a pea-size dot of icing onto the backs of 9 of the butterscotch candies and press them along the bottom of the panel. Repeat this process on the remaining side panel. Let the panels rest until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Decorate the front panel: Using the piping bag fitted with a small tip, pipe a double line of icing across the front panel where the roof starts to incline; press on about 11 French toast cereal pieces. Pipe a small dot of icing onto the back of 1 of the red sprinkle-coated gummy candies and attach it to the front panel just above the line of cereal. To make a flower, pipe a small dot of icing on the cut sides of 8 of the toasted-marshmallow jelly bean pieces and attach them in a ring around the red gummy. Pipe icing to draw a door; attach the caramel jelly bean with a dot of icing to make a doorknob. Pipe icing onto the backs of the gummy gingerbread people and place 1 on either side of the door. Pipe icing to draw 2 windows; line the frames with pretzel sticks, breaking them to fit. Let the panel rest until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Decorate the back panel: Using the piping bag fitted with a small tip, pipe a double line of icing across the back panel where the roof starts to incline; press on the remaining French toast cereal as needed. Pipe a small dot of icing onto the back of the remaining red sprinkle-coated gummy candy and attach it just above the line of cereal. To make a flower, pipe a small dot of icing on the cut sides of the remaining 8 toasted-marshmallow jelly bean pieces and attach them in a ring around the red gummy. Create a decorative trim by piping a pea-size dot of icing onto the backs of the caramel-coated pretzels and pressing them along the bottom of the panel. Pipe icing to form 2 windows; line the frames with pretzel sticks, breaking them to fit. Let the panel rest until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
Decorate the roof panels: Using the piping bag fitted with a large tip, pipe short lines of icing onto the backs of a few pieces of the frosted shredded wheat cereal and attach them to 1 of the roof panels in a row. Repeat until both roof panels are completely covered. Let the panels rest until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
For the caramel: Spread the sugar in a medium skillet (see Cook's Note). Sprinkle with the lemon juice and 1/4 cup water. Set the skillet over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts, about 2 to 3 minutes. Once the sugar has melted, stop stirring and cook, swirling the contents occasionally, until the sugar syrup is a deep amber color, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Assemble the walls: Carefully place the skillet of hot caramel by your work surface (you will use it like glue to attach the panels to the base and to one another). Dip the bottom of the front panel in the caramel and place it on the foil-wrapped base. Use a silicone brush to brush a line of caramel along the inside of the panel at the base to reinforce it. Prop up the panel with a can. Brush more caramel up 1 edge of the front panel so you can attach the side of the house. Dip 1 side of a side panel in the caramel and place it perpendicular to the front panel, forming a corner. Brush the inside of the panel along the base with more caramel to reinforce it. Prop up the side piece with a can. Repeat with the second side panel and the back panel. Sprinkle the seams of the house with sea salt.
Attach the roof: Once the walls are set enough to hold the roof panels and while the caramel in the skillet is still warm, remove the cans. Then brush the warm caramel onto the back of a roof panel along the edges (where the roof will attach to the walls); press the panel onto the house and hold it in place until the caramel sets, about 30 seconds. Repeat with the other roof panel. Use the piping bag fitted with a large tip to pipe icing along the seams of the roof to reinforce it.
Landscape the yard: Using the piping bag fitted with a large tip, pipe a rectangular walkway in front of the house; line the edges with pecan halves and pave the middle with crushed sesame candy. Pipe icing snowdrifts around the walkway and the base of the house; sprinkle with popcorn, pressing it gently into the icing so it sticks.
Using the piping bag fitted with a large tip, pipe more icing along the top seam of the roof; line with a row of the fluted gummy caramels. Let the house rest until dry.
When measuring flour, we spoon it into a dry measuring cup and level off the excess. (Scooping directly from the bag compacts the flour, resulting in dry baked goods.) Wait to make the caramel until you are ready to assemble the walls and roof and have all your supplies close at hand. Once the caramel is cooked, you'll need to work quickly before it hardens.

740.00119 EW/3–2548
The Department of State to the French Embassy
Reference is made to the French Embassy's aides-mémoire of March 12 and March 25, 1948, and to the Department of State's aide-mémoire of March 17, 1948, concerning the notification to the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency of the charge to be made to the French reparation account in view of the change in the status of the Saar.1
The Embassy's aides-mémoire have suggested: (a) that the letter of notification agreed upon at Berlin be modified in such a way as to be without prejudice to the question whether the reparation charge on account of the Saar should be debited to Category A or to Category B; and (b) that despatch of the letter be postponed until the results of the re-examination of the dismantling lists from the standpoint of the European Recovery Program have become known.2
Concerning point (a), the Department of State is aware of no new circumstances which have arisen since the agreement reached in Berlin on February 20, 1948, and which would require a revision of the letter. As pointed out in that letter, the charge of 70 million Reichsmarks "has been calculated to include:
"(A) Industrial equipment in the Saar that would have been removed as reparations if the Saar had remained an integral part of the German economy.
"(B) Industrial equipment additionally retained in western Germany in order to maintain the German economy at the permitted level despite the loss of the Saar."
It is evident, therefore, that, but for the economic separation of the Saar, the total volume of reparation available to the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency in Category B would have been greater by an amount estimated at 70 million Reichsmarks. This being so, the Department of State remains of the opinion that the entire amount should be charged to Category B.
Concerning point (b), the Department of State considers that, inasmuch as economic separation of the Saar has already been agreed upon, the consequent notification to the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency should be promptly made. The purpose of the re-examination of the dismantling lists now in process is to permit the dismantling program to be carried out as rapidly as possible, subject to the assurance that dismantling will not be detrimental to supplies of critical commodities required for the European Recovery Program. Such assurance is obviously to the best interests of all countries concerned.
In view of the fact, however, that the Assembly of the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency is now in recess until April 27, the Department of State could agree that the despatch of the letter of notification is not of immediate urgency. Should the French Embassy request such action, the Department would be willing to instruct the United States Delegate to the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency to postpone despatch of the letter until the Assembly reconvenes, provided his British colleague is prepared to take similar action.
Washington , April 13, 1948.
None of the aide-mémoire under reference here is printed.↩
The draft letter of notification to the Inter-Allied Reparation Agency under reference here was included as Appendix D to the Economic Agreement between the United States, the United Kingdom and France regarding the Saar, signed in Berlin, February 20, 1948, p. 73.↩


You already know that you and your customers are victims of infoglut. (Or perhaps you experience the problem differently - as a need to improve the way your organization manages its knowledge assets. The two problems are in any case closely related.) So now you've heard of Topic Maps and think they may offer a solution. Where do you go from here?
First of all, you'll need to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts. The very best place to start is The TAO of Topic Maps. The TAO is the most popular non-technical introduction around: If you haven't already read it, do so now! If anything is unclear, write to<pepper@ontopia.net>. The XML Papers, based on a case study, is a good follow-up. If you're the technical kind, you might want to go straight from the TAO to the XML Topic Map specification (XTM).
Once you've read the TAO, you'll be curious to see what topic maps look like in practice. Try giving the Omnigator a whirl using the online demo at the Ontopia web site (and while you're at it, try OperaMap as well). The Omnigator is a "spectacularly clever application" (not our words) for browsing topic maps. It's also free. If you download your own copy you'll have access to more features and be able to debug and test-drive your own topic maps. The Omnigator runs out-of-the-box once you have Java installed, but if you encounter any problems <support@ontopia.net> will be there to help.
To really get to grips with the concepts and demonstrate their relevance to your colleagues, you should consider getting your hands dirty creating your own topic map. This is by no means as difficult as you might think: The Omnigator User Guide contains a simple, one-hour tutorial in 8 easy steps that also serves as an introduction to XTM syntax. Then, once you've experienced the pain of typing angle brackets by hand, you might want to investigate LTM (the Linear Topic Map Notation), a compact and readable alternative that is much more suitable for rapid prototyping and manual maintenance. If you have trouble with either syntax, just contact <expert@ontopia.net>.
If you're a Java developer, why not go straight ahead and get a Developer License to the Personal Edition of the Ontopia Knowledge Suite, which contains a full-fledged topic map engine for you to play with. It costs a mere $500 and has excellent documentation and free support.
By this point you'll have convinced yourself that topic maps really could be the answer you are looking for. You've created a small prototype and demoed it using the Omnigator. Management is impressed but still needs to be convinced. Your colleagues think it's cool, but the IT guys are sceptical and haven't yet seen anything they couldn't do with VB and SQLServer. What now?
Well, you could call in the Ontopians! We can help you refine your arguments, convince management, and win over sceptical colleagues. You won't find more experienced, enthusiastic and voluble topic map experts anywhere. Our half-day briefing, Topic Maps in a Nutshell, is guaranteed to create excitement and generate enthusiasm, and our one- and two-day seminars give you the overview and the insights you need to confirm that you are on the right track.
Time now to start getting really serious. Time to initiate a pilot project that will demonstrate conclusively that topic maps are the way to go! But think carefully before deciding to go it alone. Modelling and designing topic map applications is different from anything you have ever done before (although you can draw on experience from indexing, data analysis, knowledge organization and system design). Ontopia's Topic Map Project Kick-Start package (3 days of workshops; 2 days of consulting; and a 90-day evaluation of the Ontopia Knowledge Suite) allows you to get the most out of your subject matter expertise and our topic map experience.
No two topic map projects are alike, for the simple reason that different organizations have different requirements and different kinds of information, so you have to be prepared for some custom development. Ontopia and its partners can provide you (or your systems integrator) with the tools and training you will need if you decide to "go it alone". In that case, you might want to use our experienced consultants as sparring partners, to help keep you on the straight and narrow. Or you can have Ontopia's partners do the customization and integration for you. The choice is yours, but whichever approach you choose, the Ontopia Knowledge Suite will provide you with a complete, robust, and well-documented toolkit.
Wherever you are on the road to topic mapping you will find that Ontopia has already been there and has expertise, experience and technology beyond what you will find elsewhere.
Let us help you discover your own Ontopia!
