Today( Thursday) at Miss K's school, the awards ceremony for the third graders was held. This year has been an amazing school year for her, starting with her most wonderful teacher. Without this teacher, Miss K may have struggled yet another year academically. She excelled in many areas, academically and socially. In the second quarter of this school year, K received the Citizenship Award for the first time since entering elementary school. Today, she received the Citizenship of the Year award in her class. It was a proud moment for the hubs and I.
I was reading in a moms group for parents of children born in November 2012 today. The topic they were discussing was "have you bought anything yet for your upcoming new baby. I have not, am I behind?" I have actually bought a few things for baby #3 only because the items were in excellent used condition and I couldn't pass up the deal. Except for the stroller system, which was new. But it was also a great deal that may not be when we get closer. When I think back to both my other children, I don't remember being as eager to buy things so far in advance. Except for Miss K, we did buy packs of diapers every other week before she was born.
For the summer our church will not be having any enrichment classes or children's ministry on Wednesday nights. I'm sad that we won't be meeting during the summer. I am looking forward to more time with the kids, especially since Miss K does not have dance classes in the summer either. Time to catch up on reading for all of us. I'm looking forward to teaching Little E to read more than just sight words. One of the websites we'll be using is www.Starfall.com . Miss K's elementary school uses this website in the classrooms during free time.
After three days of rain, rain, rain. It has finally subsided. Even though Friday has a 70% chance of rain, it has not rained very much. I'm thankful for all this rain we have been getting but wiping the dogs' feet every time after they go outside has become a tiring task. My plants and lawn are very happy with all this excess water.
Today was the last day of school for our county! I went in to help with a party that Miss K's teacher and I planned for the last day. Unfortunately her teacher was diagnosed with the flu on Tuesday and was told by her doctor to not be at work the rest of the week. The last week of school no less. :( thankfully by today, she was feeling a little better and made a surprise appearance in class for 30 minutes, during the party. We're going to miss not having her as Miss K's teacher. She was such a blessing. If only we had her every year!

At first glance, Mike Osborne's book, Floating Island (Daylight Books, June 2014), appears to unearth life in the American desert. But its true focus might be what the desert unearths about America.
Osborne, a professor of photography at Georgetown, has lived and worked in the West for years. It was on one of his many road trips through the region that he stumbled upon Wendover, Utah, and its sister city, West Wendover, Nev. The area is the inspiration for the Floating Island project — and it's a very strange place.
Fifteen thousand years ago, the area where Wendoverans now live, work and play was at the bottom of a lake almost a thousand feet deep. It is not much more hospitable now: Osborne tells TIME that, at one point, the salt-saturated earth was eating holes in his tripod.
The area's vast expanse of desert is the sort of landscape that conjures mirages. (The book gets its title from a landmass in the nearby Bonneville Salt Flats that, from a distance, appears to tremble in midair.)
"I like the idea that the landscape already has an illusion in it," Osborne tells TIME. "There's a seed of a story already in it."
Out of this alkaline void a town appeared, an improbable environment of artificial turf and chain restaurants. Glowing casinos announce their presence for miles around. But traces of history remain, captured by Osborne in stark black and white. For instance, decaying military structures — where the Enola Gay's crew trained before dropping the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in August 1945 — still pierce the horizon.
Shot with long exposures, these buildings are illuminated by the light of distant casinos — an eerie embrace of the present and past revealed only on dark, moonless nights. Even more ominous, meanwhile, are Osborne's images of the destruction wrought over the years by unfettered commercial mining in the region.
As Osborne writes, "the firms' names — Intrepid, Vertellus — were enigmatic, evoking classified missions, distant planets." He chose to light the grim scenes of detritus in a way that evokes the lifeless surface of the moon. This landscape, Osborne notes, is "so expansive, so remote, that it creates a sense of permission."
In the end, what he has captured in these pictures might be the unsettling result of people acting on that permission: the casual violence and neon dreams of a nation let loose upon the desert.
Mike Osborne is a photographer based in Austin, Texas and Washington, DC.

Top 10 Sleep Mistakes and Their Solutions
Although we may not like to admit it, many of the sleep problems we experience are the result of bad habits and behaviors. We stay up late or sleep in late. We eat foods that disagree with us or enjoy a drink late at night, oblivious to its disruptive impact on our sleep rhythms. Over time, we teach our body not to sleep. For relief we often turn to sleeping pills, which mask rather than solve the problem, and can lead to addiction. Ultimately for real success, with insomnia as with any chronic problem, one must look for the underlying imbalances and root causes and address those.
Here are the common sleep "mistakes" I see in my practice and their solutions.
MISTAKE #1 Not keeping a consistent sleep schedule.
We often think we can make up for lost sleep by going to bed extra early another night, but the body clock's ability to regulate healthy sleep patterns depends on consistency. We stay up late on weekends, expecting to make up sleep later or use the weekend to make up for lost sleep during the week. Both practices disrupt bodily rhythms and late-night weekends in particular can cause insomnia during the workweek.
SOLUTION: Create a routine and stick to it.
Getting up and going to bed around the same time, even on weekends, is the most important thing you can do to establish good sleep habits. Our bodies thrive on regularity, and the best reinforcement for the body's internal clock is a consistent sleep schedule.
Waking and sleeping at set times reinforces a consistent sleep rhythm and reminds the brain when to release sleep and wake hormones, and more importantly, when not to.
MISTAKE #2 Using long naps to counter sleep loss.
Long naps during the day especially after 4 p.m. or even brief nods in the evening while watching TV can damage a good sleep rhythm and keep you from enjoying a full sleep at night.
SOLUTION: Nap for no more than 30 minutes.
If naps are absolutely necessary, make sure you only nap once a day and keep it under a half hour and before 4 p.m. In general, short naps may not hurt sleep and in fact a short siesta for half an hour after lunch or a 20 minute power nap before 4 p.m. works well for many people.
MISTAKE #3 Not preparing for sleep.
Expecting the body to go from full speed to a standstill without slowing down first is unrealistic. Our bodies need time to produce enough sleep neurotransmitters to send feedback signals to the brain's sleep center, which will result in the release of sleep hormones to allow you to sleep.
SOLUTION: Take the time to slowly shift into sleep.
a) Create an electronic sundown. By 10 p.m., stop sitting in front of a computer screen (or TV screen) and switch off all electronic devices. They are too stimulating to the brain and will cause you to stay awake longer.
b) Prepare for bed. Dim the lights an hour or more before going to bed, take a warm bath, listen to calming music or soothing sounds, do some restorative yoga or relaxation exercises. Getting your mind and body ready for sleep is essential. Remove any distractions (mentally and physically) that will prevent you from sleeping.
MISTAKE #4 Not giving your body the right sleep signals.
Our bodies depend on signals to tell them when to fall asleep and wake up, the two most fundamental ones being darkness and light. But we live and work in artificially lit environments and often miss out on the strongest regulatory signal of all, natural sunlight. When we do go to sleep and our bodies need complete darkness for production of the important sleep hormone, melatonin, our bedrooms are not pitch dark, thereby interfering with this key process.
SOLUTION: At night, keep the room as dark as possible.
Look around your bedroom: the alarm clock read-out that glows in bright red; the charging indicator on your cell phone or PDA, the monitor on your computer, the battery indicator on the cordless phone or answering machine, the DVD clock and timer. Even the tiniest bit of light in the room can disrupt your pineal gland's production of sleep hormones and therefore disturb your sleep rhythms.
Conceal or move the clock, cover all the lights of any electronic device and use dark shades or drapes on the windows if they are exposed to light. If all of that is not possible, wear an eye mask.
If you get up in the middle of the night, try keeping the light off when you go to the bathroom. Use a flashlight or night light.
MISTAKE #5 Having a bed time snack of refined grains or sugars.
These are metabolic disruptors which raise blood sugar and overstress the organs involved in hormone regulation throughout the body. This hormone roller coaster can affect sleep cycles by waking you up at odd times during sleep as the hormone levels fluctuate.
SOLUTION: If you have to eat, have a high-protein snack.
It is better not to have anything before bed. But if you must eat something, a high protein snack will not only prevent the hormone roller coaster, but also may provide L-tryptophan, an amino acid needed to produce melatonin.
MISTAKE #6 Using sleeping pills to fall and stay asleep.
Sleeping pills mask sleep problems and do not resolve the underlying cause of insomnia. Many sleep studies have concluded that sleeping pills, whether prescription or over-the-counter, do more harm than good over the long-term. They can be highly addictive and studies have found them to be potentially dangerous (see references, page 11).
For short term use, there may be indications for needing sleeping pills, but over time, sleeping pills can actually make insomnia worse, not better. If you have been taking them for a long time, ask your doctor to help you design a regimen to wean yourself off them.
SOLUTION: Learn relaxation techniques.
Aside from physical problems, stress may be the number one cause of sleep disorders. Temporary stress can lead to chronic insomnia and circadian rhythm sleep disorders. Many people tell me they can't switch off their racing minds and therefore can't sleep.
Do some breathing exercises, restorative yoga or meditation. These will calm the mind and reduce the fears and worries that trigger the stress.
MISTAKE #7 Using Alcohol to fall asleep.
Because of alcohol's sedating effect, many people with insomnia drink alcohol to promote sleep. Alcohol does have an initial sleep inducing effect, but as it gets broken down by the body, it usually impairs sleep during the second half of the night leading to a reduction in overall sleep time. Habitual alcohol consumption just before bedtime can reduce its sleep-inducing effect, while its disruptive effects continue or even increase.
SOLUTION: Take nutrients that calm the body and mind, getting you ready for sleep.
Don't drink alcohol to help you sleep. Look for a calming formula that has some of the following: amino acids, L theanine, taurine, 5 HTP and GABA, and herbs like lemon balm, passion flower, chamomile and valerian root. Taking the minerals, calcium and magnesium at night is also helpful. For some people, especially those of us over 50, melatonin can be helpful too. This is because the body produces less melatonin with advancing age and may explain why elderly people often have difficulty sleeping and respond well to melatonin.
MISTAKE #8 Watching television to fall asleep.
Because we have no trouble at all falling asleep in the living room in front of the TV many of us watch TV in bed to fall asleep. But when we fall asleep in a bed watching TV, we invariably wake up later on. This sets up a cycle or conditioning that reinforces poor sleep at night. I have had many patients over the years develop insomnia due to this type of conditioning.
SOLUTION: Get the TV out of the bedroom.
Don't watch TV in bed. The bed should be associated with sleep (and sex).
MISTAKE #9 Staying in bed hoping to fall asleep.
If you can't fall asleep within 30-45 minutes, chances are you won't for at least another hour, and perhaps even longer. You may have missed the open "sleep gate" or missed catching the sleep wave. A "sleep gate" is the open window of time your body will allow you to fall asleep. Researchers have found that our brain goes through several sleep cycles each night where all sleep phases are repeated. These cycles last from 90 minutes to two hours, and at the beginning of each cycle, the body's "sleep gate" opens. You won't be able to fall asleep when your sleep gate is closed.
SOLUTION: Catch the sleep wave.
If you find you can't fall asleep within 45 minutes, get up and get out of the bedroom. Read a book, do a restorative yoga pose or do some other calming activity for another 1 -1 1/2 hours before trying to sleep again. Staying in bed only causes stress over not sleeping.
It is like surfing; you need to catch that sleep wave. Have you ever been exhausted and yet you avoid going to sleep and then a few hours later when you are ready for bed, you are suddenly wide awake? You missed the wave.
MISTAKE #10 Making sleep a performance issue.
Often just thinking about sleep affects your ability to fall asleep. What happens frequently is that the way you cope with the insomnia becomes as much of a problem, as the insomnia itself. It often becomes a vicious cycle of worrying about not being able to sleep which leads to worsening sleep problems. Like so many things in life, it is about letting go, going with the flow. Sleep needs to become a natural rhythm like breathing, something that comes automatically and you don't think about.
SOLUTION: Let go and go with the flow.
Use the time to practice breathing exercises or meditation and to become aware of how what you eat, what medications you take, what behaviors or certain activities can affect your sleep cycle.
Increase your awareness by paying attention to your body and becoming conscious of how you react to different foods and situations. Use this time productively, instead of getting upset that you can't fall asleep.
One final point.
For chronic insomniacs, especially if you are a heavy snorer, make sure Sleep Apnea is not the cause. This is a serious condition that affects at least 12 million Americans, many of whom have not been diagnosed. Usually they are heavy snorers. What happens is that the tissues at the back of the throat relax and in so doing block the airways. The brain senses oxygen deprivation, and sends wakeup signals. There is a release of adrenaline and cortisol, the stress hormone. Not only does this interfere with sleep, it can increase blood pressure, raising your risk of heart problems and stroke. It can also interfere with insulin sensitivity, and increases your risk of diabetes.

Eclipse DemoCamps Kepler 2013
During June 2013, we are inviting individuals to organize and attend Eclipse DemoCamps or Hackathon around the world to celebrate the Eclipse Kepler release. The Eclipse DemoCamps are an opportunity to showcase all of the cool interesting technology being built by the Eclipse community. They are also an opportunity for you to meet Eclipse enthusiasts in your city. Hackathons are a chance for developers to gather and hack away on bugs and feature requests to come up with a reasonable patch by the end of the evening.
The format of a DemoCamp is pretty informal. The idea is for a group of Eclipse enthusiasts to meet up and demo what they are doing with Eclipse. The demos can be of research projects, Eclipse open source projects, applications based on Eclipse, commercial products using Eclipse or whatever you think might be of interest to the attendees. The only stipulation is that it must be Eclipse related. Take a look at List of project on eclipse.org or on Wikipedia, also Eclipse-based software.
Hackathons are also very informal. Just a group of Eclipse hackers that meet up and hack away on various bugs and feature requests for a certain Eclipse project. Attendees usually break out into groups of 2 or 3 and get hands on support from a veteran of the project to help ensure that a patch can be completed. The only stipulation is that it must be Eclipse related. Take a look at List of project on eclipse.org or on Wikipedia, also Eclipse-based software. Here's an example of a Hackathon from November 2012.

It's been a little quiet here for a while. On the other hand there's a lot happening over at this place.
Now I have a few remixes coming out… Check "Train in Vain" by Daniel Dexter (We Are Playtime), "Bongos, Bleeps & Basslines" by Zero dB (Ninja Tune) and "Midnight Sun" by Ben Mono (Compost).
They all just got bleeped.

Mike Tyson once knocked out Michael Spinks in 90 seconds.
But that fight seemed long compared to the now-all-but-over battle over redistricting.
Last week the California Supreme Court dismissed -- quickly, unanimously and without even bothering to hold an argument – two challenges to maps of legislative districts drawn by the citizens' redistricting commission.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
In so doing, the court made plain that the commission's maps are here to stay, and further challenges are folly.
Yes, Republicans are still pursuing a referendum of the state senate maps. But that effort, which already looked pointless, should be dropped very soon as a result of this ruling.
Why wouldn't a referendum work? Because the state supreme court's decision make clear that the commission's maps are legal and constitutional.
That creates a political obstacle – why are you bothering to challenge maps with a referendum when the seven-member court, dominated by Republican appointees, has just indicated the maps are perfectly fine? – and a practical one.
Even if the referendum qualifies for the ballot, a temporary map would be put in place – but that map would likely be the commission's map, which was just given the seal of approval by the state supreme court.
Even if a referendum were approved by voters, the very same supreme court would assign the special masters to draw the new maps.
That should be checkmate, but Republicans will try other moves. They're now asking the federal government to intervene and block the maps on the grounds that they will limit the political power of Latinos.
Yes, you read that right.
California Republicans are asking the U.S. Justice Department -- which is run by Democrats -- to block maps created by a commission that exists because of Republican support in order to protect the rights of Latinos, a core Democratic constituency.
My head is spinning.
The official surrender can't come soon enough for Republicans.
Instead of wasting money and time on the referndum and legal manuevers, the party should seize the opportunity to focus on rebuilding itself and pursuing political reforms that would give it more of a chance at winning legislative elections.

Nobody wants to use a wired mouse anymore, but the tradeoff is the added weight of a battery needed to power their wireless functionality. Not so with Genius' new DX-ECO mouse, which uses a lightweight capacitor instead.
It won't give you quite the same wrist workout throughout the day, but its built-in "gold capacitor" can be fully recharged in just three minutes. That's barely enough time to even find a video to watch online while you wait. The capacitor is also good for up to 100,000 charges during the mouse's lifespan.
The DX-ECO uses a blue optical sensor for accurate surface tracking, which can be switched between 800 and 1600 dpi sensitivities for work or gaming use. It's also got a "flying scroll" button for quickly navigating large documents, dedicated forward and back buttons, a 2.4GHz wireless dongle, and is available now for a mere $40.

Horizon: Traveling Exhibit
Traveling Exhibition: Horizon
Opening Reception
Thursday, Nov. 7, 5-7 p.m.
Collins C. Diboll Art Gallery
Free admission
At a time when the prevalence of bookstores is declining and the popularity of e-books is steadily increasing, a new art exhibit opening at Loyola University New Orleans honors the legacy of the book workers' craft. Horizon, a nationally touring exhibit presented by the Guild of Book Workers, features 53 works celebrating leading examples of book arts today.
The exhibition focuses on the horizon as its theme. Whether by contemplating the apparent horizon, personal horizons or the horizon of the book as a physical object, the exhibitors created works that demonstrate conceptual integrity and the strength of a practice in craftsmanship. As more and more people consider the materiality of the book and its presence as a physical object, Horizon showcases the many handcrafts of the book form.
Founded in 1906, the current Guild of Book Workers has more than 900 members and is the only national organization dedicated to all of the book arts, including bookbinding, conservation, printing, papermaking, calligraphy, marbling and artists' books.
Horizon first opened at the Margaret I. King Special Collections Library at the University of Kentucky in Lexington in May 2012 and is on tour in the U.S. through March 2014.
This event is part of Loyola's Montage Fine and Performing Arts Series.

I cannot express my gratitude for the excellent care you provided me yesterday for my urgent care appointment. You and your staff are ultimate professionals. For the first time in four weeks I am pain free. I had absolutely no discomfort when the anesthetic wore off. Thank you more than you could possibly know for your superb care, your generosity, your caring nature and expertise. You've definitely chosen the perfect field to serve, using your many talents. JA
Dear Dr. Beasley & Staff,
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for the extraordinary care that you extended to me yesterday. The kindness of the entire staff was a joy to experience. As I was sitting in that chair I found myself so grateful that you as a team have dedicated yourselves to your profession and that thru your gifts and abilities help ease the pain of life. From time to time I recieve the encouragement of someone touched by our efforts to make people aware of the amazing love that God has for them. It is a thrill that I never tire of. My hope is that this note will encourage you in the same way. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for both the skill in applying your craft and the kindness that came with it.
Dr. Bradford,
How can I say thank you enough for taking care of Wendy? She was so nervous about getting her root canal, and you made it a lovely experience for her. She really has glowing reviews of your staff, office, and the whole experience. I know it may feel such acts of professional courtsey go unnoticed, but I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and will share Wendy's experience with any patient who needs the handy work of a friendly neighborhood superhero - I mean endodontist. Thanks Again.
Dear Dr. Beasley,
I am writing to thank you and the women in your office for your care during my recent office visits. You took trauma out of going to the dentist. But more importantly you enabled me to do the things I do, and serve my family and community. And for that I am grateful. Best Wishes.
Dear Dr. Bradford -
Thank you so much for taking such good care of our son a few weeks ago. We were so impressed and grateful. It lessened out trauma considerably to have him in such capable, caring hands. Thanks to all of you.
Thank you for your kindness and treatment when I visited Austin from Maryland and had a tooth emergency. Your professional care and warm hospitality helped me to relieve my pain and to have a successful job interview. I am moving to Austin this summer! Thank you again for your kindness and good work.
Dr. Julie.
What a wonderful and kind thing you did for me - you have no idea what that kindness meant to me.
The young women working for you were so kind and helpful. You really have a great crew.
Besides being an outstanding dentist, you are kind and very generous. Thank you again.
Dr. Beasley and Staff,
I wanted to thank you for helping me with my urget dental needs this week. I really appreciate your accomodating schedule and your kindness. Your professionalism is superb. I would certainly refer anyone that needs the specialist dentistry you provide.
Dr. Beasley-
Thank you, and many thanks to all of your staff I worked with, for the professional, caring service I received during my recent visit. You all made the experience very positive and you set the bar high for all others in the professional world. Your work was excellent and I have been blessed.
Blessings to you and your work.

Recently I've been doing my personal development SSH'd into my personal laptop. I found that launchpadlib (which various projects use for release automation) was failing – the gnome keyring API threw an error because the keyring was locked, and python-keyring didn't try to unlock it.
I needed a workaround to be able to release stuff, and with a bit of digging and help from #launchpad, came up with this:
mkdir ~/.cache/keyring
mkdir ~/.local/share/python_keyring
echo > ~/.local/share/python_keyring/keyringrc.cfg << EOF
(There is already encryption in place, so I chose an uncrypted store – read the keyring source to find other alternatives).
With this done, I can now use lp-shell etc over SSH, for when I'm not physically at my machine.

Having to leave the team in order to have surgery on Thursday in Philadelphia was not the way the second baseman wanted his 2009 season to end, let alone to have that last day with his teammates day cut short because of bad weather, but there was one more light work session with hitting coach Greg Walker in the batting cages for Getz, and then off he goes. The lower oblique strain that put him on the 15-day disabled list back on Aug. 21 had still been bothering him, so Getz saw a specialist and a sports hernia was discovered. The plan was first to address it at the end of the season, but that plan went out the window now that the rest of the Sox schedule is basically meaningless. …

Dip, sip, slurp-- C-ville Coffee goes East
I fell in love with Vietnamese cuisine at a little restaurant called Pho Pasteur on Baxter Street in New York City's Chinatown. At least three times a week, I'd trade the toxic smell of paint fumes (I was subletting a room in an artist's studio in lower SoHo) for the intoxicating aroma of cilantro, ginger, curry, and star anise. After a few months, I figured out that the only way to eat pho- or Vietnamese noodle soup- was to toss aside my Emily Post etiquette, grab a spoon and pair of chopsticks, and slurp away– loudly.
Until recently, it has been virtually impossible to slurp authentic Vietnamese pho in Charlottesville. Crystal's (now Indian Milan) closed last year just months after opening, and bargain lunch spot Saigon Café is actually mostly Chinese (that's where the owners are from). But thanks to Toan Nguyen and his wife Betsy Patrick, pho and other Vietnamese specialties are now available from 5-9pm at C-ville Coffee.
I know, coffee and Asian food seem unlikely companions. But you may be as surprised as I was to see how well java jibes with peanut sauce, lemongrass, and fresh (i.e. not fried) spring rolls.
How did this combo come about? "We were tired of going to D.C. to get our fix of pho," Nguyen says to my understanding nods. "Plus, we always planned on doing a noodle shop, even before a coffee shop."
That noodle shop plan is still in the works (Nguyen says to give them a couple of years), but in the meantime the couple decided to exploit the potential of their enormous, family-friendly coffee house by building a sizeable kitchen in the back and offering a short menu of Vietnamese dishes at night.
Right now they're too busy at lunch (sandwiches, salads) to offer noodles, too– but that could change if the bowls catch on like I think they might. If you show up after 5 (actually they start taking orders at 4:30pm) you can pick from a selection of noodle bowls (grilled skewers of pork, beef, chicken, or tofu, and sliced fresh veggies and herbs on rice or egg noodles), bowl ingredients (in case you want to "create your own") and, of course, pho.
Wine and beer are new sipping options, surely appealing to tired parents at the end of the day...
For the uninitiated, fresh yet filling pho traditionally starts with a broth made by simmering beef bones with water, ginger, star anise, cinnamon sticks, vegetables, and nuoc mam (fermented fish sauce) for several hours. Thin slices of beef and rice noodles are then added to the broth, sometimes (as in NYC) with a handful of cilantro. Nguyen, who lived in Vietnam until the age of 10 and really knows his pho, says his wife's recipe (yes, she's the chef!) is pretty close to perfection.
But is Vietnamese food kid-friendly? Given C-ville Coffee's identity as one of the best places to hang out with a toddler or two, I had to ask. "Kids go crazy over the chicken with peanut sauce," Nguyen says. "I was surprised to see these totally American looking kids just slurping it up."
Just one tip: Go early.
...while The Corner goes tropical
As we wait to see exactly what will take the place of Liquid, the downtown smoothie café that closed with 2003 (wraps and a bar in a Jetson-style decor, I hear), we can know that tropical smoothies will be coming (back, since Liquid started out here) to The Corner this spring.
As the huge banner announces, Tropical Smoothie Café– a smoothie, wrap, and sandwich franchise owned by Whit Douglas and Thomas Beers of Virginia Beach– is the new occupant of the space formerly occupied by The Garment District on University Ave. Project manager Debbie Brown tells me that Artisan Construction Inc. hopes to finish the transformation of little dress shop into a contemporary-looking café by March 5.
Maybe we'll have thawed out by then.
C-ville Coffee goes East.

With the economy still in recession, the employment market has diminished and job seekers' education has become even more paramount. This has prompted many people to consider going back to school, even if a lot of time has elapsed since they earned t …
Introduction to Online Ph.D.s
Nearly 50,000 doctorates (Ph.D.s) were conferred in 2011 to students who attended a U.S. university, according to the National Science Foundation's data report (NSF), and that number continues to rise each year. Ph.D. programs are the highest degree level attainable in any subject and are a mark of complete proficiency in the field.
Years ago, it was difficult for working professionals to find the time in their schedule to earn a Ph.D. due to the high demands of the research-intensive programs. However, many accredited colleges and universities now offer online Ph.D. programs with options for flexible learning paces and schedules for busy working professionals.
Research and studying is typically conducted at times convenient to each student with little or no campus attendance requirements. These online Ph.D. programs allow students to achieve their educational goals without sacrificing their job or substantially cutting time from other priorities, such as raising a family.
Earning an online Ph.D. is slightly different than a traditional program in:
- How assignments are completed and submitted
- How studying is conducted
- How interaction between faculty and students takes place
Although students generally have the flexibility of doing research or submitting assignments on their own time during the day (or week, in some cases), most online PhD programs maintain deadlines in the same manner as traditional programs.
Communication between students and professors typically takes place online, through email, chat, and message board, but may also occur over the phone or in person for short periods of time. Many online Ph.D. programs have a brief residency requirement for students – usually scheduled near the end of their program – for in-depth study of the more technical aspects of the degree. This is more common for nursing or science degrees with lab requirements.
Having this level of degree can be useful in many capacities for professionals, as it could open doors to higher positions, better promotions, and more employment opportunities.

The AJ table lamp by Louis Poulsen is perfect for desks and nightstands alike, and it catches the eye also as a detail of the living room. The iconic form of Louis Poulsen's AJ range was born in 1957 when the legendary Danish architect Arne Jacobsen designed the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen including its interior and furniture. The timeless lamp has a sculptural design that consists of basic, geometric forms: a cone-shaped shade with a simple cylinder socket. The adjustable shade, painted matt white inside, reflects soft and pleasant light with no glare. The AJ range has become a Danish design icon and one of the most beloved pieces created by Arne Jacobsen. In celebration of the 60th anniversary of the collection, Louis Poulsen launched AJ floor, wall and table lamps in new, dynamic colours.

I love color. Some of my favorite "things" in our apartment are the most colorful: the quilt I made with my mom, the green lamps that were wedding presents, the curb market painting by one of my favorite artists, and the vibrant pictures from our wedding day. Imagine my delight when my husband gave me this three-week early gift for finishing my first year of graduate school.
I was surprised and thrilled (and a little worried that his gift was premature. The grades aren't in yet!). These beauties really brightened my day.
My tastes in food are often colorful, too. I like vibrant flavors that play well off one another. That's why I had to make this breakfast bread when I saw the recipe. It was the perfect breakfast for a study day.
Coconut Banana Bread with Lime Glaze
slightly adapted from Cooking Light
1 ½ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup all purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
¾ cup sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1/4 cup plain yogurt
3 tablespoons rum
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup flaked sweetened coconut, plus extra for sprinkling on top
½ cup powdered sugar
juice of ½ lime
Preheat the oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 5 inch loaf pan.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
In a medium bowl, beat together the butter and sugar for one minute. Add the eggs and beat for 1 minute. Add the bananas, yogurt, rum, and vanilla extract and beat until well blended. Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined. Stir in the ½ cup coconut.
Pour the batter in the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle additional coconut over the top of the batter. Bake for one hour, or until a tester comes out clean. Cool the cake for ten minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a rack. Meanwhile, mix together the lime juice and powdered sugar. Use a toothpick to prick the top of the cake. Drizzle the lime glaze over the top of the cake.

CHICO — To make a connection with more of the 21,000 veterans in Butte County and to help those vets feel appreciated, the county has launched a program to put photo ID discount cards in their hands.
The cards are being issued by the Butte County Veterans Service Office, 2445 Carmichael Drive.
Monday Butte County Supervisors Bill Connelly of Oroville and Larry Wahl of Chico were in the vets office to receive cards 01 and 02, with Wahl getting the first.
Veterans who were discharged under honorable circumstances must present their DD-214 discharge papers to the office and fill out a short form to receive the card. The card makes the holder eligible for discounts at various businesses in the county.
Arlene Hostetter, assistant director of the Department of Employment and Social Services, stressed that vets need to make appointments in advance. Appointments can be made by calling 891-2759.
A brief ceremony was conducted in the modest office, located inside the county Department Employment and Social Services facilities.
Hostetter said the ID program was to recognize the services of the veterans and also to introduce them to the range of services and programs that are available to them.
She said it is "horrifying" so many veterans are unaware of the services they can access through the county office.
Supervisor Connelly, who is an Air Force vet, said the idea of the discount card was suggested to him by one of his constituents from Palermo.
Connelly passed the proposal to Hannah Williamson, who is herself an Army vet and is director of the Veterans Service Office, who with the help of her staff made it happen.
A list of the vendors and merchants taking part in the program is available in the Carmichael office, said Hostetter. It will soon be posted on the Butte County website www.buttecounty.net.
Hostetter said if an individual can"t find his or her discharge papers, the vets office can order the DD-214 for them at no cost.
Supervisor Wahl earned his right to the card flying off carriers as a Navy and Marine pilot. He also spent two years assigned to the Spanish Navy, teaching pilots there to fly the Harrier jump jet.
Also during the ceremony, digital reproductions of a set of murals from the vets office on Memorial Way was unveiled in the new offices. Fred Feldhaus of Chico painted the original murals called "Wars Through the Eras," unveiled the reproductions of his works.

With the lockout likely to linger well into October and perhaps into November, trying to preview the season of 30 teams that might not actually have one seems about as worthwhile as raking leaves on a windy day. But I love raking and the wind only makes it last longer. We here at Razzball have you covered, even if you didn't want to be covered. That's love. You'll appreciate it when you're older. Look at it this way, the only way any of this stuff can be disproven is if the season starts. So go ahead, NBA, make me a fibber! I dare you. Until then, consider this fantasy basketball gospel. Don't even bother reading anything else – dem's all lies. From now until the start of the season, we're bringing you the 2011 Fantasy Team Previews, which will focus on each team in order to paint a clearer fantasy picture. Who's starting? Who might surprise you? And who might make you want to hurl yourself off a bridge in a few months. Enjoy! Next up – The New Jersey Nets (Don't! Sleep! Til Brooklyyyn!)
Gained – Marshon Brooks, Jordan Williams
Lost – Sasha Vujacic, Brandan Wright (probably), Dan Gadzuric (probably), Mario West (tutti Marios finire in Italia)
Probable position depth –
PG – Deron Williams, Jordan Farmar, Sundiata Gaines, Orien Greene
SG – Anthony Morrow, Marshon Brooks, Stephen Graham, Ben Uzoh
SF – Damion James, Travis Outlaw
PF – Kris Humphries,
C – Brook Lopez, Jordan Williams, Johan Petro
Surprising Team Fact From Last Season – The Nets were tied for the most minutes played last season (20,005), having played 13 overtime periods throughout 2010-11. How much would you have paid to have seen Brook Lopez drop that little nugget as the reason the Nets had performed poorly again last season to the circle of reporters in the locker room after the final game of the season? The 10 seconds of stunned silence from no one knowing what to say would have made the 55 Travis Outlaw starts totally worth it.
Number of Top 20 Fantasy Players (par 0-1) – 1, Williams

3 Concerns Heading Into the Season
1. Is there anyone on this bench I should be paying attention to?
This is a very black and white question, so you'll excuse me as I answer "maybe" and blow your minds with a dash of gray. Your world was just opened. Spoon! Fork! Spork. Duck! Beaver! Platypus. Bowie! Thin Lizzy! T-Rex. D-Will! Uzoh! Marshon Brooks. The word on this year's 25th overall pick is that he can shoot and score points in droves but can't do anything else. You always have to acknowledge a pure scorer in fantasy basketball, but the problem here is that fantasy owners are still doing the same thing with the guy likely to start ahead of Brooks, Anthony Morrow; and I ain't all that hot on Morrow either (for more on this, move your eyes down about 1/4 of an inch).
2. Describe to me a situation in which Anthony Morrow would be a wise pick before Round 10?
Oh, hey there. I'm glad you made it from 1/4 inch ago. Did you drive or take a cab? What were we talking about? Anthony Morrow? Right. He's supposed to be one of the five purest shooters currently shooting. The problem is, he's missed an average of 17 games in each of his first three seasons in the league, which means he's rarely "currently shooting." For argument's sake, let's say years 1-3 were a fluke and he plays in every game this season (which might ironically still amount to only 65 games), the team's weird fluctuations last season and his lack of real rhythm on both the Nets and Warriors seem to have stunted his development in most facets of his game. Plus, he's a free agent and if he goes elsewhere, what are the odds he'll be on a team as shallow as this one? On the flip side (or flipcide, if you kill someone with your middle finger) Morrow has a real shot at playing 34+ minutes on this team no matter how little he earns it. Even if Brooks is better than advertised, New Jersey is so thin at SF, it's more than possibly Bone Morrow will slide on over to the swing and play Brooks at SG. I'd target Morrow somewhere between picks 95-115 if he remains a Net, if for no other reason than because the odds of him missing another 17 games and playing fewer than 30 mpgs are probably less than even.
3. When we last saw Kris Humphries, he was averaging 14/15/2 in March – should I take him with my second pick or third?
Question 1: Was last year a contract year for the Hump? Question 2: Can his special lady friend who shall not be named easily, breezily spend his 2010-11 salary in one afternoon at Nordstrom? (<– my girlfriend says Fred Segal or Neiman Marcus would have been more appropriate here. I acted like I didn't hear her and waited until she left the room to type this.) Question 3: Did Humphries think about getting paid in the offseason during every single game between December and April? If you answered no to any of these questions, start from the beginning and do things differently.
Fantasy Disappointment in '11 – Kris Humphries. Seriously, you guys.
Biggest Fantasy Contributor in '11 – Deron Williams. I took Morrow to task for having an injured past, Williams isn't much better. He's missed an average of 12 games in each of his last three seasons and the wrist injury that nagged his entire tenure as a Net up until this point was a backhander to the jowls of everyone who owned him at the end of last season. But – and this is a big enough butt that Kris Humphries would feel comfortable playing with it in the ocean – D-Will's non-shooting stats went up across the board (+0.7 rbd/+3.1 ast/+0.1 stl/+0.1 blk in the same number of mpgs he played on the Jazz last year). Not only that, he clearly had an effect on Brook Lopez and perhaps he'll propel guys like Morrow and Outlaw.
Deep Sleeper – Marshon Brooks. I'm 75 percent sure some combination of Morrow and Brooks are going to be fantasy relevant in 2011. If I had to break that completely arbitrary number down a bit further, I'd give 50 percent assuredness to Morrow and the other 25 to Brooks. Not great for either of them, but not terrible if you fall into owning both of them.

Exhibition: "Women Hold Up Half The Sky: Bay Area Women's Posters of the 1970s and 1980s"
How do we remember a social protest movement? Often by words that have been left behind: founding documents, manifestos, flyers, and the like. But visual artifacts can be powerful too: sometimes a movement's images reveal its deepest character and commitments.
That's the case for an exhibition of posters that is being shown at a café/coffee house called "Local 123" (www.local123gallery.com), named after a Painters' Local union hall that previously occupied the space. The posters, all of which were created here in the Bay Area, will be on display through June 1.
The posters gathered for this exhibition come from various local collections, including Michael Rossman's "All Of Us Or None" archive. Rossman, who was a leader of the Free Speech Movement in 1964, a social activist, teacher, and historian, assembled this archive, which now consists of 24,000 posters. The entire collection is being donated to the Oakland Museum.
Made during the so-called "Second Wave" of feminism that began in the 1960s, these images express a Women's Movement that aimed to shake the very foundations of society and culture, and still does. The posters represent a wide range of causes and experiences. They show women in diverse walks of life – as industrial workers and labor union organizers, as mothers, nurses, and guerilla fighters. This art subjects all of these roles to critical scrutiny: at issue are all the gender positions and relationships that shape the identities of men and women, influencing the ways in which we view ourselves and one another.
The Women's Movement, here in the Bay Area and worldwide, developed in close relation with other movements of the time, including the anti-war and labor movements (hence the appropriateness of holding the exhibition at what used to be a union headquarters). In many cases we do not know the identities of the artists themselves; their posters were typically designed and created anonymously. Although the artists were often called upon to work quickly, under the pressure of the moment, they created works of beauty and meaning that remain compelling today.
I had already seen some of these posters in books, but what surprised me, upon viewing the original images in full-size, attractively displayed on the walls of this labor-oriented cafe, was how much more powerful they are in their original form than in reproductions. Hence I encourage Daily Planet readers to see the exhibition for themselves. It recreates a world of the past, but one whose issues and messages are quite contemporary.
A free lecture and slideshow about the exhibition will be given on May Day (Saturday, May 1) at 5 PM at the coffee house. The presenter will be archivist Lincoln Cushing, who together with Emma Spertus assembled the exhibition. Cushing, formerly a librarian at U.C. Berkeley's Bancroft Library and at the Institute of Industrial Relations, is a poster maker himself and has published four books about poster art. Spertus, too, is an artist.
Café Local 123 is located at 2049 San Pablo in Berkeley, a half a block South of University Ave., and is open Monday to Friday 6:30 am to 7:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. As of May 1, the café will be open until 10:30 PM on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
See below eight of the exhibition posters.

Out of curiosity, what do people think of the appearance of this film?
(Excuse my sloppy playing; I was just testing windowed mode on my MacBook and wasn't really going for perfection.)
I'll upload an alternate version I encoded on my desktop tonight after work. It'll be full HD, though I don't think I'll use the exact settings from that one in my final uploads (it uses the XBLA HUD, which people don't seem to like, and I think I forgot to turn off crosshairs).
I think I may be patient enough to use my desktop to make these encodes after all, though. It wasn't quite as slow as I thought it'd be, and I think having full 1080p is worth it. It'd be even better if I could encode 1600x2560 from my MacBook, though. I'm half-considering going through my initial process of encoding through QuickTime, even though it's colossally inconvenient. I believe I've figured out a way to get sound that way, though.

Madonna leverages social networks and startup Fab.com for 'MDNA' album push
Whether you're a fan of Madonna or not, as a The Next Web reader you ought to be interested in how the artist and her management are banking on the Web to promote and sell her new, twelfth studio album, named 'MDNA'.
The Wall Street Journal this morning reported on Madonna's use of social networking services Facebook and Twitter to push the new album.
Not mentioned but noteworthy is the fact that Fab.com, a startup that's not even a year old, will be one of the few places on the Web where the album will be up for sale, alongside the usual, huge suspects such as Amazon and iTunes.
Available only to its U.S. members, Fab will be featuring a special offer today, selling the deluxe edition of 'MDNA' at $7.99 compared to $14.99 at retail.
That's nearly half the price, so not a bad deal at all. Says Fab:
"General fandom aside, this a huge honor for us. From Keith Haring to Andy Warhol to Gaultier- there's no question that Madonna appreciates great design and has made a lasting impression on the design community."

Iron Man is a movie adaptation of the popular Marvel comic book about a tortured, alcoholic billionaire with a heart defect. By wearing an special suit made of iron he keeps his heart pumping, and gets certain bonus super-powers at the same time.
Robert Downey Jr. as a superhero; an alcoholic superhero? I'm sorry, but I'm not sure I deserve to live in a world where such a movie exists. It's a casting choice so unbelievably perfect that Iron Man might actually have a chance to end up as the first superhero movie to win a legitimate acting Oscar. It's an idea so pure and good that if Paramount hadn't already confirmed it you'd think it would have to be completely fake.
Robert has reportedly already gotten himself in fantastic shape for the film, and has even gone so far as to grow the trademark mustache and goatee Tony Stark is known for. That's a good sign, since it means he's into it. Hopefully this isn't just a big superhero paycheck for him, but Downey has never seemed like the type to take big cash-in parts anyway.
Director Jon Favreau and his team have done the impossible: They've managed to find a way to make his Iron Man movie matter. Robert Downey Jr. is one of Hollywood's finest actors, and in his personal life he's battled a lot of the addiction issues which make Tony Stark such an interesting figure in the first place. Paramount probably sees it as a gamble, but it's a beautiful one. Makes you want to stand up and cheer. Mix in the great Terrence Howard, as Stark's friend Jim Rhodes and maybe, just maybe, Hollywood isn't evil after all.

2012 was AMAZING!
We had great gigs all over Europe, we met the nicest people, saw cool new clubs and off locations, had an unforgettable 5th birthday party.
And that all thanks to you!
So first of all the whole Parallel crew wants to thank you for your love and support!
Next stop: 2013.
Great things coming up already, you can find us on festivals like Tomorrowland (B), Edit Fesitval (NL), Lost-Theory Festival (Croatia), etc.
And we will take this opportunity to introduce you our newest artists…
Lets start with STOJCHE. (Dogmatik, Tangible Assets, Argumento Music)
This Macedonian wonderkid moved from Skopje, Macedonia to Berlin last October and joined our little family we have here.
Check out his vinyl only podcast for us:
"Stojche is one of the names on the European circuit that is broadening the scope of underground techno & house.
Hailing straight from Macedonia´s capital Skopje (currently living in Berlin), he played one of the key roles in the Macedonian underground scene in the last decade. From dj-ing at the various club nights and festivals, he moved to producing, developing his own take of the underground house & techno, a sound that is perfectly distilled in his dj sets.
Throughout the last years, by releasing on various record labels like Dogmatik, Argumento, Liebe Detail and his own Tangible Assets vinyl imprint, Stojche has proved that he is possessing the skills in executing a ´must have record´. Fusing a classic Detroit sentiment, Chicago house and dubbed out vibes, Stojche's sound is at the epicentre of today's underground essential selection.
He is one of the guys behind the Argumento Music, vinyl platform showcasing the quality techno and the finest house music associated wit the traces of deepness.
Stojche has performed in different venues and festivals across the usual rounds of Europe. His sets are full of exquisite, refreshing, rolling, soulful, deep and crisp grooviness. He always combines various forms of underground house and techno."

Hailing from Tel-Aviv, Israel we have another new Berlin resident DORON EISENBERG (Legotek).
Check out his podcast for Sordid Culture (Chicago):
"Doron's taste in music took shape as he grew up, listening to the music his parents and brother played at home. It was all Rock, Black Disco, Electro Pop, Break-Dance, and US and British House. As the years passed, Doron formed a varied, rhythmic, and moving musical repertoire. As he developed his direction in electronic music, he started to pursue new avenues. He joined courses at Tel Aviv's "Muzik" College where he learned about the technical aspects of sound equipment. From there, he went on to study at "Hedd College", where he learned about music theory and how to produce music. As time passed, Doron composed his personal vision on the influence of sound through the subconscious and sharpened his personal mixing technique to construct a musical atmosphere, or as he likes to call it: "The Psychology of Sound".
Doron insists that a – "good DJ must create a deep and positive psychological connection with the audience and understand, together with the audience, what drives them in order to create something new. It's equally as important to do this while maintaining a high level of technique and professionalism."
In 2004, Doron started to produce while in the same time playing in underground parties throughout Israel. As he discovered what he truly liked in electronic music, he started combining minimal and techno music with touches of Disco and African music.
In 2006, Doron met Nir as they both studied at "Muzik". It was their similar passion and musical vision which brought them together. They used their experiences in Israel and their similar cultural perceptions to form a unique way of promoting the electronic scene in Israel.
In 2007, Doron and Nir officially created the "Legotek Group" and produced their first event. It has been nothing but a success story since then. Thanks to Doron's hard work, Legotek grew in the quality of their productions. He has been performing in countless clubs throughout Israel, Germany, and Italy.
Currently, Doron resides in Berlin, where he continues to DJ and produce creative events, while maintaining a unique sound and high level of production. In 2012, Doron is expected to release his first EP with Legotek Records."
More info:
Other Legotek labelhead, NIR IVENIZKI also joined the Parallel forces.
Check out his upcoming vinyl EP on Legotek Records:
"Nir Ivenizki is the founder of Legotek-Group and Label. Currently, Nir Ivenizki runs his own business; as an Event Manager, Producer, and DJ. When performing, he is best recognized for his blend of classic Chicago and Detroit house with deep and tribal sounds.
A look at the past:
Most of the people becoming musicians have a clear background in this subject and are in contact with music at an early age. They learn how to play an instrument or sing in a choir for example. Well that's exactly the case for
Nir. At the age of nine, he learned to play the piano, which awoke his first feelings for music. He grew into his teens while listening to Jazz, original funk and disco, and Ska. The likes of Herbie Hancock and Kraftwerk are what built the bridge to his passion for electronic music. At that same time, the Detroit-Techno sound was in full blossom and it led him to purchase his first turntables and find his way to the Techno scene.
In 1998, by the age of 16, Nir started to take various courses at Tel Aviv's music school "Muzik", a school specifically focusing on music production. He was a fast learner and soon moved from the role of student to teacher, giving music-mixing courses and music workshops. During Nir´s activities at the school he also met his first Legotek partner, Doron Eisenberg.
From the year 2000 on Nir took part and created his first own events in Tel-Aviv such as student-raves, the Love Parade, Techno – Underground Street Parties, and many more.
In 2005 Nir played in Germany for the first time. He was absolutely impressed by the high quality of Germany's electronic music scene and recognized a huge gap between Israel's and Germany's scene. He decided to improve Israel's urban culture by pushing alternative nightlife events, particularly in Tel-Aviv.
He showed through his work that the country needed to undergo major changes for it to improve its standards on an international level. Today, Tel-Aviv is one of the major clubbing destinations and maintains a great
international reputation.
Based on this development, the Legotek Group was born in 2007, successfully organizing countless nightlife events throughout Tel Aviv. In 2010, Nir published his first Tracks: "Aho Aha", "Esperanza" and "Funk It" on Legotek Records. More recently, in the summer of 2011 Nir moved to Berlin to pursue new projects for Legotek while solidifying the bonds between the German and Israel cultures. Currently, Nir is a resident of the Teilzeit event group in Berlin."

Nutria pile up along the shore on Aug. 31 after Hurricane Isaac went through Waveland, Miss.
If there's a silver lining for the Gulf Coast from Hurricane Isaac, it might just be this: the surge of water flushed out, and drowned, thousands of nutria — giant rodents originally from South America that are eating away at coastal marshlands, which act as barriers from storms.
Most of the dead nutria have washed up on beaches in Mississippi's Hancock and Harrison counties.
"Estimates are there will be over 20,000 carcasses," Robbie Wilbur, spokesman for the state's department of environmental quality, told NBC News.
In the short term, that many rotting carcasses is a health hazard.
"It's a terrible smell," David Garcia, mayor of Waveland in Hancock county, told WLOX-TV. "As this heat continues, they're just going to blow up and pop, making it even more of a health hazard."
Crews over the weekend started removing the nutria, aka swamp rats, though it's not an easy task.
"As they're picking them up, they're busting open," Hancock County Supervisor David Yarborough told the Biloxi-Gulfport Sun Herald.
A federal contractor with experience in hazardous waste has been brought in, but even a handful of its workers had quit Sunday morning, the Sun Herald reported.
"There's people who can't take the sight of something like this," Yarborough said. "That's the reason I wouldn't even attempt this with county people. You really should be certified and trained in hazardous waste."
County crews tried to deal with a similar situation after Hurricane Gustav in 2008 "and we had people getting sick; wound up buying everybody's clothes," he added.
Classified as rodents even though they are semi-aquatic, nutria were released in Louisiana and Mississippi back in the 1930s by fur trappers looking for new stock. Populations were kept in check as long as fur prices were good, but a collapse in the 1980s led to a collapse in trapping and a population now estimated at several million.
As a result, nutria are "one of the Gulf South's most notorious invasive species, wreaking ecological havoc on native wetland vegetation and contributing to coastal erosion problems," Mississippi's Department of Environmental Quality said in its plan for dealing with invasives.
The erosion is done by nutria "digging into thin soils and eating roots of marsh vegetation," the department states. "As the vegetation dies, the fine-grained, denuded soils become more vulnerable to erosion, eventually forming expanding holes in the marsh called 'eat-outs'."
The species is also a speedy breeder: nutria reach sexual maturity at just four months old, and females are able to breed within 48 hours of giving birth to a litter.
Back along the beaches, the thousands of nutria carcasses are being taken to a nearby landfill, while those in areas away from the public will be left there.
"We're letting mother nature take care of those," Chad Lafontaine, with the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, told the Sun Herald.
