Like an architect, fashion designer Thakoon Panichgul carefully balances contemporary and historical influences. His eponymous brand has won him fans from Michelle Obama to Target, but when it came time to build a brick-and-mortar store, Panichgul and New York–based SHoP faced a more complex balancing act. They wanted to carefully devise an interior that would reflect its Soho surroundings and the Thakoon aesthetic, all while grabbing the attention of passersby and setting itself apart from competitors.
“Thakoon was really interested in making [the store] of its place, of New York, bringing in the grit of the city,” said Coren Sharples, principal at SHoP. Concrete with dark aggregate covers the floors, and the architects tapped Brooklyn-based Fernando Mastrangelo Studio to cast multiple concrete walls throughout the store. Mastrangelo reproduced the subtle gradients of his furniture on an architectural scale, pouring multiple layers of gray-hued concrete in a single casting. “This was crazy, it was done on site,” said Sharples. “This was formed up and poured. Really a little scary, but [Mastrangelo] was amazing.”
Wood was also an important part of Panichgul’s vision—the designer had prepared a mood board with several wood treatments that figured prominently in other fashion brands’ aesthetics. These ranged from light treatments with vernacular ornamentation (what he called “American Traditional”) to richly grained and darkly stained (“American Glam”). SHoP and Panichgul ultimately chose an unfinished white oak (“American Cool”), a look that left the wood in its raw, natural state. White oak surfaces sinuously undulate along the showroom’s walls even as they retain a dry, coarse texture. The architects and client also worked closely with Brooklyn-based furniture maker Vonnegut/Kraft on the store’s wood furniture: Connection details, leather seating, and each edge and taper went through multiple iterations before landing on a design that features simple woven-leather straps. Vonnegut/Kraft’s pieces stand in the main showroom and hug the curves of each dressing room.
Extra seating is provided by travertine blocks that were CNC-milled in Italy to 3-D models provided by SHoP. Panichgul tapped London-based designer Michael Anastassiades for the principal lighting features: simple orbs with brass detailing. Brass is also used for the store’s clothing rods and the towering sculptural display rack that stands prominently in the main showroom.
Taken all together, the materials find ways to somehow be both angular and curved, smooth and gritty, even as their neutral tones give the clothing center stage. “We wanted it to be infused with material sensibility and warmth, but at the same time, it’s always this line you walk because you don’t want to overpower or dictate,” said Sharples.

The Cowboys have added Panthers' free agent linebacker Dan Connor, 26, which means the team will very, very, very likely be saying goodbye to veteran Bradie James. The same for Keith Brooking, who will be 37 in October.
Between Bruce Carter, Sean Lee and now Connor, the team is covered at ILB.
James will be 31, and on the back end of a pro career that began as a fourth round pick out of LSU in 2003. I would be surprised if he doesn't land with another team, maybe Cincy.
The giant "Ohhhhh, cruuuuuuuud" you hear comes from the media that covers the Dallas Cowboys on a daily basis, and leaned on Bradie's accessibility like no other.
Fans may have thought James was overrated, and maybe he was, but along with tight end Jason Witten no one on that team consistently met his professional responsibilities in dealing with us media dorks the way Bradie did.
Win or lose, Bradie talked and gave us a voice and face. Always. As someone who covered that team and desperately needed to find anyone of note who would be willing to talk, Bradie was greatly appreciated.
As a result, I would not be surprised to see Bradie return to North Texas after his career is over and he pops up on the local media scene. He treated so many of us very well by just being a professional, and in return I would surprised if the favor was not returned when he needs one.

About one and a half years (July 2003 I think) ago I added a page to my website where people can subscribe to my newsletter and another page to unsubscribe if they wish. I wrote one newsletter that contained a brief introduction to me and my company and what I am trying to achieve, a short bio and even a not very good photo. I will update my new bio page soon, I promise :D. I had planned to publish the newsletter every two or three months and have in it two or three technical articles about Oracle security of course. In the first newsletter I talked about protecting the database from illicit use of SQL*Plus and gave some examples of the use of product user profile and how it can be bypassed, renaming SQL*Plus and a few other ideas in the same vein.
If you check my previous newsletter page you will see that there is still just one newsletter. :(. This is mainly due to lack of time to write something as in-depth as the first newsletter.
I plan to re-launch the newsletter very soon, in the next couple of weeks, again time permitting but with a slightly different format - the main reasoning being that I want to get a newsletter out there as I have a lot of subscribers, I think without counting in the region of 400 and I feel I have a duty to provide something that has been promised. The problem was that I set a high standard in terms of content and length with the first one that is hard in terms of time to follow up on.
So my feeling is that the newsletter will be much shorter than the first one, but much more frequent, at least once a month and maybe more frequent. I plan to have three sections. The first an intro - whatís been happening section - any good relevant new items and pages on the site that have changed etc, maybe prominent news items. The second being a short to medium length article on something relevant to Oracle security. The final section will be a summary of the best entries in the blog since the last newsletter for those that do not read the blog.
The one area I wanted to combine with the newsletter that wasn't planned for the first one was to inform people of when the site has changed, when new content has been added that they might like to look at. Quite a few people have asked me if itís possible to be made aware of when pages have changed. When I added a lot of new menu items and pages recently I planned a page for people to register to be told of updates. My thoughts since was to create a simple newsletter for this purpose and send it out, then I thought why not simply combine it as a short section in the main newsletter and get it out there more regularly. So that is what I plan to do. Of course you can also see the changed or added pages in the sitemap as well, indicated by the new graphics.
I have had a look for some mailing list software a couple of weekends ago and have read the set-up, features, readmes etc of quite a few and I have settled on one solution. I hope to get this installed and tested soon. Then I will send out the first of the re-vitalised Oracle Security mailing lists. If you have subscribed already then I must apologise for the delay in sending out the list, if not then please do if you wish.
This is the weblog for Pete Finnigan. Pete works in the area of Oracle security and he specialises in auditing Oracle databases for security issues. This weblog is aimed squarely at those interested in the security of their Oracle databases.

Senator Rand Paul says he wants the Tea Party to be represented in the 2012 election and will do whatever is necessary to ensure that.
Paul told the Louisville Rotary Club Thursday he is considering a run for the presidency in 2012, but will not run against his father.
“I think the primary and elections are about who can articulate the message best and that’s sort of what we had a primary here in Kentucky about and that there will be a primary nationally about” he said. “I just want to be part of that, whether it’s actually as a candidate or just trying to help decide who the candidate is; I just don’t know that yet.”
The freshman Senator’s speech focused mostly on his plans to cut debt and gradually increase the age to receive Social Security benefits.
Paul then added that the Tea Party will exist for as long as the national debt remains a prominent issue in politics.
“I think the tea party sticks around as long as the debt is a real problem, and as long as the debt is perceived as being the number one problem,” he says “I think the tea party sticks around.”
The senator spoke briefly about the conflict in Libya and criticized the president for not involving congress more heavily in the decisions to enforce a no-fly zone over the country.
Paul says there won’t likely be a government shutdown due to budget disagreements in Washington. He says there are other alternatives to a shut down besides raising the debt ceiling. One measure he supports is paying debt interest with new revenue.

Happy Valentines Day fellers - wrote this up last minute, animated allll today after Kate surprised us with an unexpected visit from uni. My eyes BURN.
Unfortunately we had to use an old mic, so audio is a bit shit in this one. Frustrating but that's life!
I hope you had a LOVERLY day.
For anyone who likes randomness, come play on Twitter! I'm making a new Comic: The Comic of Consequences. You send me suggestions for where the comic goes and each day the best idea gets drawn:
I love the rubber ducky but...
I understand the whole "Donald Duck" voice you're trying, but does anyone else think it sounds like the duck is drowning in it's own vomit?
I thoroughly enjoyed this flash. It has a very good message, the music was calm and didn't feel rushed or out of place. Subtitles also helped with the raspy duck voice.
wat a duk literally
its a lil confusing to understand him thx for subtitles and its just a litle wierd for a duck singing anyway it is a good flash
i wont bag on it, it was good, the song flowed and you didnt force anything to fit so it sounded good my only problem was the slow pace of the song and i could barely understand the voice sometimes (subtitles saved you on that) but the other problem is i really just didnt like the voice, the voice acting was great i just wanted to rip my ears off when that throaty, lispy voice came on, but thats my opinion so thereby does not effect this review. You did good and congratz on the front page

Yahoo is updating its Mail app across all platforms with a fresh design that includes syncing themes, a new compose experience, collapsible toolbar and better handling of threaded conversations. The new app is rolling out across the web, Android, iOS and Windows 8 devices beginning today, with nearly complete feature parity between all versions.
The update brings a radical new look to the inbox, largely due to the new themes which use either solid colors, provided images or content from Flickr. If the look of the themes feels familiar, it might be because you’ve seen Yahoo’s Apple Design Award-winning Weather app for iOS. The new appearance of Mail owes a lot to that app and, when you take it in aggregate, looks a lot like Apple’s iOS 7. There are lots of transparency effects going on here, on iOS 7 there is even some parallax effects that Jeff Bonforte, VP of Communications, says adds some readability and context.
There are also some business aspects of Yahoo Mail that are changing with this update, says Bonforte. First of all, Yahoo is bumping the storage limit for Mail to 1TB for all users. That should provide around 500k-1M attachments and ‘6,000 years’ of inbox for the average user, says Yahoo.
All of the features that were previously a part of Yahoo’s ‘Mail Plus’ product are also now free for all users. This means that things like disposable email addresses, POP email and mail forwarding are all included with a basic Yahoo Mail account. Users who have previously subscribed to Mail Plus are grandfathered in and will be able to continue paying $19.99 a year for the ‘ad free’ version of mail, but new users who want a ‘no ads’ Yahoo Mail will have to pay $49.99 a year for the new Ad-Free Mail product. Still, if you’re ok with some ads, the new Mail gets a lot of new functionality for nada.
When Yahoo Mail users load up the new look they’re going to be in for a nice treat. The new design is cleaner and crisper, while not totally breaking the fundamentals of how the product works. By default, it looks like a nice update, but applying a theme really brings it alive. Those themes, says David McDowell, SVP of Product on Mail, will sync across all of your web and mobile versions of the app. Having those personalizations carry over should make sure that it still feels coherent when you bounce from one platform to another.
In addition to the visual changes, there have also been a series of mechanical updates to the Yahoo inbox. The sidebar along the left side of the screen on the web version is now collapsible, letting you give over more of your real-estate to message content. When you fold it down you’ll just get simple icons along the left.
A few decisions have been made that should improve your speed and mail handling, says McDowell. One is a series of shortcuts that let you ‘star’, find email from the same sender or trash a message without having to actually open it up.
Part of that speed improvement is a new expandable conversation thread that lets you see all of the messages you’ve traded with that person without having to ‘open’ the full view. Just click on a downward chevron to see a quick view of your messages. If you want the ‘whole shebang’, you can still click on the message proper to see everything that’s been said. This is a neat hybrid of the way that conversations work on tablets and how they work in Gmail currently. One less click into the hierarchy just to see the last few messages is time saved, so that’s nice.
There is also a nice update to the compose mechanics both inside and out of conversations. One-click replies at the bottom of threads let you dash off a reply very quickly, bringing to mind an IM conversation, rather than a ‘heavy’ email convo. The single-serving ‘compose’ window is also much improved, with a cleaner and more logical layout. The formatting options have been moved to the bottom, away from the ‘to’ and subject fields, which lightens the cognitive load when you’re smashing out a receiver and a topic. The CC and BCC fields are also collapsed into the to field, which clears additional clutter. The subject line has been given a bit of precedence and bolder type to give it a ‘blog post’ type feel as well.
All of these features are going to be coming to Yahoo’s apps for Windows 8, Android and iOS as well, says Lee Parry, Yahoo Senior Director of Mobile on Mail. In a demonstration of the tablet version, Parry noted that all of the shortcut options are accessible via a swipe on a message, and the threaded conversations work well as exposed in the secondary pane. The iPad version looks right at home on iOS 7, with translucency and a simplified design palette. The DNA of ‘Yahoo Weather’ is readily evident, as is how closely that design forecasted the direction Apple went with iOS 7.
If you’re not a Yahoo Mail user, then you’ve probably got a fairly large library of mail keeping you locked into your current provider. But if you’re in the market for a new inbox, the new updates give Mail the best look it’s had in ages. And there are a bunch of little details here that show some serious thought about how email does and should work. I’d love to see some of the changes become standard fare in other inboxes.
Yahoo’s new Mail service launched in 2012 and hasn’t seen a major update in about a year, so this is a milestone release. And it’s still one of the biggest providers out there with around 281M users. Yahoo has taken some heat lately on the mail front for its recycling policies, but it appears to have been taking those seriously. As we wrote, account recycling is something that all services will have to deal with at some point, so it’s worth exploring how to do it right.
Questions still remain about how Yahoo will leverage its recent tear of talent acquisitions, but Mail itself is looking great. If this is any indication, the refreshes that we’re about to see for other Yahoo products should be pretty solid stuff.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Freelance Design Jobs and other Freelance Design topics.
If you're one of the many freelance artists out there looking for work, try to approach the search in an organized, methodical way. First, register with any talent agencies that represent your career field. Next, attend some networking events in the area to see if you can make any connections. Make sure you bring plenty of business cards and pass them out to everyone you meet. This is actually a good practice in general—you never know when someone is looking for a designer.
Another way to find clients is to utilize freelance job boards. It may take a little time to sift through the ones out there, but when you connect with a good one, it can bring you a lot of work. You may also want to join your local chamber of commerce and any industry-related groups in the area. This can be a great way to expand your reach and meet new people. With freelance work, you can often find clients just by asking around, so the more connections you make, the better your chances are of finding work.

Alas, that streak eventually had to end. Seeing as I managed to skip winter entirely last year, I’m finding it abysmally cold right now (by Auckland standards, obviously) and it’s not helped by the fact our little house has the chililest tiled floors ever known to man.
So here I am, dreaming of tropical island escapes.
A water bungalow in the Maldives, maybe?
Getting close to the action at Mt Yasur, Vanuatu…
Or some French flavour in New Caledonia.
And of course, Niue is still on my bucket list. I’ll never forget the look the travel agent gave me when I first enquired about Pacific Island holidays back in 2011. “Niue is very … natural,” he said, appearing to dampen what might have been a smirk. Fine by me.
It’s just over one month till my birthday. I have no idea what I’ll be doing, so universe, I’m open to options!

There have been many stage and screen adaptations of "Therese Raquin," Emile Zola's 1867 novel about love and betrayal. Perhaps most notable was filmmaker Marcel Carne's 1953 version, "The Adultress," starring Simone Signoret and Raf Vallone. It was a classic slice of film noir; a feverish take on a sordid love affair.
Elizabeth Olsen will soon be a star-crossed lover _ she'll star in an off-Broadway version of Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet."
Elizabeth Olsen will soon be a star-crossed lover — she'll star in an off-Broadway version of Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet."
British Academy Film and Television Awards says 23-year-old British actress Juno Temple is one of five young stars shortlisted for the BAFTA Rising Star award.
Forty years after cavorting with the commies in Vietnam, "Hanoi Jane" reprises her role as an anti-war activist in Bruce Beresford's "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding."
"Martha Marcy May Marlene" offers a novel twist on the psychological thriller that takes you deep into the mind of a mentally disturbed individual: It's designed to drive you nuts.
Elizabeth Olsen may love the HBO series "Sex and the City," but that doesn't mean the "Silent House" actress feels she could fit in with show's four single New York City women.
She said something similar to InStyle.com on Friday, "I'm like the biggest fan of 'Sex and the City,' and that's why I would never do that!"
"My friend who loves blogs told me about [the reports] when it was happening, and it's not real," Miss Olsen told reporters at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Luncheon in Southern California over the weekend.

LATEST POSTSWalk In Grace By Faith
As we wrap up 2020, we share a powerful message and prayer for our nation. God is not done with America. America WILL stand!
You do things because you think things. If you want to do something different, you have to think something different. You need to renew your mind.
There are two kingdoms at work: the worldly system and the kingdom of God. What does it mean to seek first the kingdom of God?
Are you feeling optimistic for your future or are you struggling with your past?
2020 is around the corner. What do you see in your future? Do you have a vision of hope or just an apathetic resolution that tomorrow will be the same as today?
As Believers, it is our responsibility to keep law makers and all those in authority in prayer. Here is a prayer you can pray as we agree for peace and justice.
We must take all thoughts into captivity so that they can line up with the Word. Taking control over your own life is a liberating thing. God would not have told us to do something we were not able to do.
When one is living with a stronghold, they have believed a lie that is so big, so controlling and has been there so long that this lie now controls the person’s thought process. You can be free!
Christmas is a time of joy, hope and peace. Often, even the grumpiest people gain a little more cheer during the Christmas season. Is it the lights, the sweets or is it the Spirit of Christmas?
If you are looking for real change, you must learn to control the narrative.
Have a testimony to share?

One of President Trump’s previous economic advisers has joined Spring Labs. Gary Cohn is the latest former Wall Streeter to take up a position within the ever-expanding blockchain industry.
Cohn Joins Steven Hunt and Christine Sandler in Moving to the Blockchain Industry
Yet another blockchain-related company has managed to poach talent from Wall Street.
Spring Labs is a startup that currently employs 20 members of staff and is hoping to disrupt the credit and identification sectors. The company’s latest hire is Gary Cohn. According to a report in the Financial Times, Cohn had the following to say about the “unique opportunity” presented by Spring Labs’s and the firm’s goals:
“[It’s] an obvious place to take a very, very analogue industry and digitise it.”
The chairman and CEO of Spring Labs, Adam Jiwan, also spoke about the firm’s hopes for the future. He stated that the blockchain-based platform would allow data to be shared between various parties. Blockchain technology would help facilitate this in a secure and anonymous fashion. Finally, he opined that Spring Labs might “ultimately… replace the credit bureaus you see today”.
Cohn once served as an economic adviser to President Trump. He was a crucial contributor to the tax reform package passed at the end of 2017.
However, he voluntarily left the position earlier this year owing to a disagreement over steel and aluminium tariffs. Before taking his position at the Whitehouse, the 58-year-old also served as president of Goldman Sachs.
Cohn’s interest in blockchain began whilst he was still working for Trump. He reportedly looked at a number of companies working in the space during his time at the White House.
However, his belief in blockchain technology should not be construed as an endorsement of cryptocurrencies in general. He clearly distanced himself from such a position to the Financial Times, before going on to state how blockchain technology can benefit various industries:
“We all know all the inefficiencies of the existing currency world and blockchain clearly helps to eliminate them at some point in the future.”
Cohn is the latest in a rapidly expanding list of former Wall Street names to join either cryptocurrency or blockchain firms. The likes of Steven Hunt, of Jump Trading, joined Kraken virtual currency exchange in May of this year. Meanwhile, Coinbase were able to poach Christine Sandler, the former head of sales for the New York Stock Exchange Euronext desk.
Other big names from the world of traditional finance and economics to join the blockchain revolution include a number of Nobel Prize winners. The list of laureates serving as advisers for ICOs and blockchain startups features the likes of Alvin Roth, Oliver Hart, and Eric Maskin.

- 1 (3 lb) chuck roast
- Cattleman’s Grill California Tri-tip Seasoning
- 3 leeks, light green and white parts only, sliced
- 2 carrots, peeled, diced
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp rosemary, minced
- 1 tbsp worcestershire
- 2.5-3 lb russet potatoes, peeled, cooked
- 1/2-3/4 cup milk
- 2-3 tbsp butter
- 2 oz parmesan, grated
- 2 oz sharp white cheddar cheese, grated
Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640 pellet grill to 250ºF. Rub the chuck roast with a binder (oil, mustard, beef stock concentrate). Just a thin layer to allow the rub to attach. Season all surfaces with Cattleman’s Grill California Tri-tip Seasoning. Smoke for about 2.5 hours, or 155ºF internal temperature. Remove from the grill, wrap tightly in foil and return to the grill. Turn the grill up to 325ºF. Continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 205ºF-210ºF, and is tender enough to shred. Increase the grill temperature to 425ºF, and place a Lodge Logic 12” cast iron skillet inside to preheat.
Add a little oil to the skillet. Add the leeks and carrots to the skillet. Cook until carrots begin to soften and leeks become translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the garlic, tomato paste and 1-2 tablespoons Cattleman’s Grill California Tri-tip Seasoning. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add the frozen peas and remove from the grill. Remove the veggies from the skillet and set aside.
Combine the cooked potatoes, milk, butter and parmesan. Whip into mashed potatoes. Adjust seasoning and consistency as necessary.
Shred the chuck roast and add it to the skillet. Place the veggies on top of the shredded roast. Spread the mashed potatoes over the veggies. Top with the cheddar cheese. Place in the grill until the filling is hot and cheese is melted, about 20-30 minutes. You may brown the top with a torch to finish, if desired.

The Shirley Jackson Awards announced their 2015 nominees last week, recognizing stand-out literature in the realms of psychological suspense, horror, and dark fantasy. These three elements are easy to spot in Jackson’s own works, but when a light is turned on, deeper, sometimes subtler, elements come crawling out from beneath the shadows: madness, sexual repression, class criticism, unspoken atrocities, contrasts between a Christian patriarchy and the lost goddesses of older religions. A feminist presence also appears, notably in her American Gothic tale of two outcast sisters in We Have Always Lived in the Castle, published in 1962.
A Tale of Two Loners
Authors honored by association with Shirley Jackson also thrive in the dark corners of fiction, corners where the stairs creak when no one is there and throttled rose bushes thrive on acid fertilizers. Charles Lambert’s latest novel, The Children’s Home, reaches across time to sit beside Jackson’s We Have Always, sharing space on a cobwebbed bench. Both novels speak quietly, their inhabitants shrouded in suspected murder, psychological witch hunts, and the empty spaces abandoned by the world’s exorcised mother goddesses. In We Have Always and Children’s Home, these goddesses are symbolized by Hestia, goddess of the hearth and home, and Artemis, the huntress.
Be Wary of the Blackwood Sugar Bowl
Jackson’s novella places the outcast goddesses firmly at the center of the story; Merricat Blackwood, an embittered 18-year-old, embodies Artemis, archer goddess of the hunt and the moon. “The people of the village have always hated us,” Merricat says, though the villager’s vitriol has grown more sour in recent years. Merricat is ostracized as the endcap member of a family of snobs. Murdered snobs, save for Merricat and her older sister, Constance Blackwood. Constance, while patient and kind toward her sister, is feared and ridiculed by the townspeople, despite her acquittal of murder charges leveraged against her for the family’s deaths. Children sing to Merricat as she walks down the street, “Merricat, said Connie, would you like a cup of tea? Oh, no, said Merricat, you’ll poison me. Merricat, said Connie, would you like to go to sleep? Down in the boneyard ten feet deep!”
Merricat is protective of the fragile Constance, burying cherished items around the family property as talismans to keep bad luck and strangers away. She reassures Constance that “on the moon,” where all things are inverted, things will be better; “On the moon Uncle Julian would be well and the sun would shine every day. You would wear our mother’s pearls and sing, and the sun would shine all the time.” Constance prefers the kitchen to space travel, though, caring for Merricat through cooking and cloistering herself away from the judgmental eyes of the townspeople. A spinster in her 20’s, Constance solidifies her place as the keeper of the hearth and vestal virgin of the goddess Hestia.
Don't Bring a Knife to an Acid Party
In Lambert’s novel, only battered traces of the goddesses remain in the post-war world of Morgan Fletcher, a disfigured shut-in whose broken family brings to mind the crumbling remains of the cult of Artemis, from the arrow embellishments on the iron fence surrounding the property, to the collection of cultural artifacts “hunted” across the world by his grandfather. Morgan has his own Hestia in his housekeeper, Engel, who keeps “the running of the place arranged behind his back” to save him having to face the servants after his “accident,” a meeting of his face with a jar full of acid thrown by his mother. Morgan prefers his books to people, kept in a room with no windows and no day or night, no light or dark. In the Fletcher home, the book room, the heart of worldly knowledge, is neither good nor evil; knowledge’s power is neutral in itself, but can be callous or kind depending on how it is utilized.
In addition to living with the shame of a face that frightens the villagers, Morgan keeps close tabs on his sanity, always fearing he will be lost to the madness that consumed his mother. His timorous grip on reality is shaken when strange children begin appearing in his house, seeming to appear out of thin air and disappearing again at will. “Our mothers are dead,” they tell him, and in their orphanhood Morgan finds kinship and an inverted sense of family as they begin to care for him.
Amanita Phalloides, the Death-Cup Mushroom
Both the Blackwood sisters and the inhabitants of the Fletcher estate are orphaned by violence; the Blackwoods by murder, Morgan by his mother’s suicide, and the eerie children by circumstances they will not name. Each family also resides close to an enclosed garden, approximations of Eden where Morgan, Merricat, and Constance find a sacred refuge from the outside world. Where Eden was a paradise designed and sown without a mother, causing its first inhabitants to suffer beneath the iron will of a father’s unchecked power, so the gardens of Jackson and Lambert are motherless and laced with the dangers of poison mushrooms and thorn bushes. The world in both novels is harsh and unforgiving.
In the Blackwood home, before the deaths, Mr. Blackwood ruled his family with absolute authority, sending Merricat to bed without food for childish antics, and casting Constance as the house servant because she was too kind to protest. In the wake of the murders, the townspeople, who always resented the Blackwoods for their wealth, grow even more prickly toward the orphaned sisters. The countryside outside of the Fletcher estate is in ruins, the remnants of a war leaving villages in poverty and martial law in effect. The only nurturing voices to be found are in Constance and Engel.
Cronos Consumes His Children
Morgan attempts to provide shelter and comfort for the children, but grows increasingly frightened of them after stumbling across a group gathered around an anatomical torso of a pregnant woman, seemingly worshiping it through chants of “ma-ma-ma-ma. The primal sound.” The pregnant figure, stored for decades in an attic trunk, is the mother figure restrained and hidden away, unable to free herself with her arms and legs removed. The children’s worship recalls Artemis, the virgin goddess of childbirth; a primal mother figure, lost in the patriarchal post-war world where Morgan resides. Even their chant, “ma,” echoes Sanskrit origins for the words “moon” and “mother,” further recalling the lost matrilineal moon cult of Artemis.
Locked in a prison of their own making, the Blackwood sisters are also stunted and restrained, both in physical proximity to the world and emotional development. Merricat is child-like in her perceptions and limited in scope to a small collection of library books she won’t disturb from their ordered placement. She toes visible madness in her insistence that hedge-witch style rituals will keep the Blackwood home in an order she prefers, occupied by only the people she prefers. When an interloper, cousin Charles, appears - interested in Constance, their father’s gold watch, and the family safe - Merricat attempts to exorcise him by dirtying the room where he stays, their father’s room. “He would be lost in a room of leaves and broken sticks,” Merricat rationalizes, believing the man trying to assume her father’s role would leave if she made the room “unrecognizable.” She flings mud and unmakes the bed, creating a wild state without the forced rules and expectations imposed by Charles, her father, and the villagers.
I am Only a Child but Already I Have Understood the Wickedness of the World
The children visiting Morgan have similar goals: to dismantle the Fletcher family factory run by Morgan’s sister, Rebecca. Rebecca has turned to madness like their mother, but rather than self-destructing, has embraced the use of cruelty and force taught by the war to bend the world to her will. In her factory full of children, she is an inverted mother, growing children but harming them rather than nurturing them. To restore feminine balance to an overly masculine world, she must be killed so that Morgan, the compassionate sibling embodying the traditionally feminine characteristics, can regain control of the family fortune and lands.
Destruction is also necessary in We Have Always Lived in the Castle, where Merricat, acting as Artemis, burns the house. In the ruins of the fire, only the roofless kitchen remains, a symbolic creation of a traditional Greek oikos, a home where the fire of Hestia is rooted in the ground and the smoke allowed to rise skyward toward Heaven. After the fire, all that is left is Constance’s kitchen, her hearth, with the roof destroyed and the oven’s fire pillaring up to the sky. As the villagers reflect and feel remorse for their treatment of the Blackwood girls, gifts of food appear on the home’s charred doorstep: offerings to the goddesses have been reinstated, and balance via feminine reverence restored to Merricat’s world.
There is far more to unpack from Jackson and Lambert’s novels, including the mysteries of who poisoned the Blackwood family, and the origins of the ghostly Fletcher children. Perhaps if we as readers can stomach the dark secrets of fictional families, we can open our eyes wide enough to acknowledge the unspoken atrocities committed by our cultural family, and hold out a welcoming hand to the banished members of our collective kin, matrilineal and other, just as Jackson and Lambert nudge us to do.

David Cameron faces fresh claims over Lynton Crosby’s influence after it emerged one of the Australian’s former staff is a senior Government aide.
Guy Robinson worked at the lobbyist’s UK firm Crosby Textor Fullbrook before becoming special adviser to Environment Secretary Owen Paterson.
His appointment last autumn came to light after an outcry when the Mirror revealed his old boss’s links to the fracking industry.
Mr Paterson runs the Environment Agency, main regulator of firms which use hydraulic fracturing – or fracking – to extract gas from shale rock.
The watchdog recently announced the application process for shale drilling permits was being speeded up.
Greenpeace’s Leila Deen said: “It’s all too common that the Government employs industry lobbyists such as Guy Robinson.
"This obviously rings alarm bells about the impartiality of the advice received on fracking.”
The Prime Minister has faced repeated questions about Mr Crosby ever since the Mirror revealed his lobbying empire works for the tobacco and booze industries.
Mr Cameron has axed plans for plain cigarette packs and a minimum alcohol price since hiring Mr Crosby as a political adviser.
Tax breaks for fracking have also recently been announced.
A Tory spokesman last night denied any conflict between Mr Robinson’s position and his previous job.
Mr Crosby denies discussing tobacco policy with the PM.

Go away, kid, you bother me
Trying to understand the traffic picture at AOL can make your eyes cross. Numbers from site measurement company Quantcast, which claims direct measurement for HuffingtonPost.com, suggest that the site continues on a tear (click to enlarge):
After the acquisition, AOL created Huffington Post Media Group (HPMG), which runs all content outside of AOL mail, Internet messaging, and AOL Ventures. But when you look at the year-over-year results according to AOL, there's no immediate lift. On the contrary, the number of unique visitors to AOL properties was flat, but the traffic for HPMG was actually down (click to enlarge):
That is an amazing thought. Surely the audiences for HuffPo and the former AOL News were largely separate and distinct, which would mean that a lot of audience members would have walked away. And then there's this statement:
During the second quarter of 2011, we expect that our search and contextual revenues will continue to decline as compared to the same period in 2010, driven by the decline in our domestic AOL-brand access subscribers and lower traffic on AOL Properties.Given the ever shrinking number of AOL subscribers, you might expect fewer unique users overall. That doesn't necessarily mean that AOL expects HPMG traffic to be off. Nor is it clear whether the 2010 measure of HPMG includes only the AOL traffic or Huffington Post, as well. (I have a call in to AOL but haven't yet heard back.) And none of this seems to square with the Quantcast measurements.
In theory, the consolidation of AOL's sites, with many being folded into Huffington Post equivalents, might have led to disaffection among audiences, which could account for the lower number of visitors.
Although there is that significant spike in the Quantcast graph (and a similar one in Compete.com's traffic estimates for HuffingtonPost.com), given the timing, it's likely tied to the royal wedding -- a phrase one might otherwise hope never to see in tech coverage. We live and learn.
The spike will make it difficult to assess HPMG traffic over the next couple of quarters. The second quarter will have that outsized jump averaged in over three months, which will make that part of AOL look as though it's really taken off, even if the reason is a singular event. The third quarter will look anemic in comparison.
One large problem with trying to understand the traffic is that AOL relies on others to measure it for them:
The source for our unique visitor information is a third party (comScore Media Metrix, or "Media Metrix"). While we are familiar with the general methodologies and processes that Media Metrix uses in estimating unique visitors, we have not performed independent testing or validation of Media Metrix's data collection systems or proprietary statistical models, and therefore we can provide no assurance as to the accuracy of the information that Media Metrix provides.In other words, the traffic may be what the company states or more or less, and management has no way to know.
Speaking of surprises
The traffic numbers weren't the only interesting information in the 10-Q. Cost of revenue, which includes traffic acquisition cost (for traffic directed from third parties), network-related costs, and product development, took a big jump.
In the first quarter of 2010, they represented 55 percent of revenue. This year, they were 71 percent. The big reason for the jump was personnel costs, which jumped by $37.5 million, including salaries and bonuses.
That amount split into two parts: inventive compensation of $7.5 million for the acquisition, and $32.3 million in new employee hires. HPMG has said that it's heavily hiring full-time staff rather than using freelancers. Clearly so. Given the drastic increase in cost of revenue, it seems reasonably that management will want the newly hired to become frighteningly productive to make up for the expense.
One other nugget comes from comparing the $315 million price AOL paid for Huffington Post, and the "purchase price of $295.9 million, net of cash acquired." The difference suggests that HuffPo came with $19.1 million in cash.
Oh, and for those who wondered about the people at HuffPo who had asked for and received stock options -- those were apparently paid by AOL, so it was an extra portion of the purchase price that Arianna Huffington and her partners and investors could keep.

Srinagar: Kashmir’s Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam Saturday said that divorces, marital feuds and domestic violence cases are all time high in Kashmir and the situation going from bad to worse with a series of reasons responsible for the “growing menace.”
He said the surge in domestic violence, marital feuds, and divorces first surfaced six years ago when the court—“Muslim Personal Law Board or Islamic Shariah Court” registered a series of cases pertaining to these issues.
“It was in 2016, when our office received record complaints. Then numbers continued to increase and today, situation is grim, infact situation is going from bad to worse,” he said.
He said wrong use of internet including social media, ill-treatment to new brides by their inlaws, and husbands, and also the drug abuse is also a major reason,” he said.
Six years ago, the Grand Mufti said that he used to resolve or issue divorce decrees to at least two or three cases a month. “Today, at least 100 divorces take place in my court on regular bases within one to two months,” Mufti Nasir said.
He said that youth are hooked to drug abuse and that also becomes the reason for marital feud which ultimately leads to divorce between the couples. “Love affairs or flirting by both women and men on social media and internet is also leading to the growing rates of divorces and marital feuds,” he said, “first women talk to strangers, then chat regularly, then meet and then enter into an extra-marital affairs, which leads to big feuds and then to divorces.”
He said domestic violence is also another reason for rising divorce cases in Kashmir. “I urge the in-laws or brides to treat the new member (bride) as their own daughter. Unless this happens, domestic violence at the hands of mother-in-law, father in law, at times brother in and most of the times husbands beaeting their wives within just a month after marriage or a year after their marriages,” he said.
The Grand Mufti also said that moral degradation is touching new heights in Kashmir he also received cases in the past few years where in father had raped his own daughter and in another few cases, where parents had send their daughters for “flesh trade” with an aim to earn money.
“This doesn’t suit a place like Kashmir, but I am sorry to say that this is happening. Our society is rotting and rotting fast,” he said.
He said every divorce pains him but he is left with no option as husband and wife doesn’t to live together because of reasons “I mentioned already.”
Asked about the solution to the growing problems in Kashmir society, the Grand Mufti said that it is the primary responsibility of the parents of the girl to be married and the boy to be married to allow both “boy and the girl to talk to each other and seek their opinions before marriage.”
He also advocated mass awareness about marriages including the rights of a bride and duties of grooms post marriage. “Here, local Imams can help. I urge Imam’s to make aware young women and youth about post marital responsibilities through their Friday sermons,” he said.

Residents throughout the county can call toll-free 211 for information about community social services, Danville Emergency Services Manager Greg Gilbert told the council. The service launched last month.
"I think when it is fully activated, and the public is comfortable with the system, it's going to be a tremendous asset for the residents in the county," said Gilbert.
The idea is to encourage people to dial 211 instead of 911 for non-emergency issues like healthcare assistance, locating homeless shelters or senior programs.
When people misdial 911 it can be both life-threatening and an economic threat to the population, said county 211 director James Matyas. Every minute a 911 dispatcher is tied up with a misdialed call, time is taken away from quick response to potential emergency situations.
Moreover, studies show that implementing 211 saved $4.5 million to $10 million in counties comparable in size to Contra Costa, by reducing the time and resources spent on misdirected calls.
The time and resources are substantial: Studies also show that people looking for social services will call seven to eight wrong numbers before finding the right one - that is, unless they give up altogether.
"We link, guide and connect people to what they need," Matyas said.
Gilbert called the 211 program "another piece in the puzzle" for getting information to the public.
The service is also intended to play a crucial role in disaster recovery by providing people with a central, simple number to call for help - rather than flooding 911 or digging up hard-to-memorize 800 numbers. It was able to handle a multitude of calls in Connecticut when the World Trade Center was bombed on Sept. 11, 2001.
Contra Costa's 211 officially launched Feb. 12 but has been running in test mode since 2006, answering about 1,500 calls per month. Currently 41 states in the U.S. have implemented the service.
The funding for 211 comes from private foundations, and the program is not completely supported for the future, said Matyas. Right now volunteers work the night and weekend shifts, but the goal is to secure enough funds for a fully trained staff 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
In other states, local governments have pitched in to keep the program up and running - something Matyas said he hopes will happen here as well.
"There's a gap in funding and we're trying to look for support from the county and the cities in Contra Costa," he said.
At the council meeting, Town Manager Joe Calabrigo said 211 may be the kind of program that the town would consider providing additional funding for, if it seems worthwhile.

- More than one quarter (26%) of programmatic in-app ad impressions was fraudulent in Q3, indicating that invalid traffic (IVT) is a costly problem for mobile marketers, per a report by fraud management platform Pixalate. The firm also found that many apps in the Google Play store threaten brand safety, consumer privacy and national security.
- Apps registered in China and Hong Kong had the highest IVT rate for in-app programmatic ads at 33%, followed by the 24% for apps that weren't registered in any country. The U.S. was in third place with an IVT rate of 19%, ahead of Russia at 18% and other shell locations at 14%, per Pixalate.
- The firm said 31,000 Android apps were possibly unsafe for brands because of objectionable content such as profanity, violence and pornography. Those apps generated 32% of global programmatic ad impressions in Q3, up from 27% in Q1, a worrisome trend for mobile marketers, per Pixalate.
Pixalate's study, which covers a wide range of nefarious activity among Android apps, indicates that ad fraud and brand safety remain serious problems for mobile marketers that may not be aware of where their ads are appearing through programmatic channels. The Google Play store had 3.21 million apps as of the end of Q3, and more than 16% of those, or 513,000, supported programmatic advertising. Most of those apps likely are from legitimate developers, but mobile marketers need to be wary of apps that generate a disproportionate amount of invalid traffic, Pixalate's study suggests.
Google has worked to police its app store, delisting more than 880,000 apps during the first nine months of the year, but the number of total apps continues to grow, according to Pixalate. Those delisted apps were downloaded more than 18 billion times, and generated 5% of in-app ad impressions. Some delisted apps may have contained malware, but being delisted isn't necessarily a sign of fraudulent activity. For example, Sony's Xperia Lounge was downloaded more than 100 million times during the first nine months of the year. The electronics company in August pulled the plug on the entertainment app amid a broader restructuring of its mobile division, Android Police reported. As Pixalate notes, some delisted apps may reappear in Google Play.
Consumer privacy also is a significant concern, with 81% of the top 10,000 apps in the U.S. having at least one "dangerous permission," as Pixalate describes apps that can access a user's personal data through a smartphone camera, microphone or GPS coordinates. Android apps with more than 100 million downloads have an average of 5.6 dangerous permissions, more than apps that aren't as popular. The implications for consumer privacy aren't completely clear, given that Google requires Android apps to seek consent to access sensitive user data. Many consumers may grant camera access to photo-sharing apps, as one example, for them to function properly.
With the U.S. government investigating TikTok, the social video app owned by China's ByteDance, because of national security concerns, Pixalate also looked at potential threats from Android apps. It found that many delisted Chinese and Russian apps had dangerous permissions, including the ability to obtain location data of mobile users. It's not clear whether those apps are necessarily a threat to national security because mobile consumers grant them access to their phones. However, the FBI this month announced that Russian mobile apps are considered a potential counterintelligence threat because the country has access to data carried on Russian computer networks.

Amendments proposed to rationalize the provisions of higher rate of TDS/ TCS u/s 206AB and 206CCA of the Income Tax Act to widen the tax base, by considering ITR non filers for one year for higher rate of TDS/ TCS, in place of existing 2 years, vide Clauses 57, 61 and 63 of the Finance Bill 2022 (budget 2022-23), are as under:
1. In order to widen and deepen the tax-base and to nudge taxpayers to furnish their return of income, Finance Act, 2021 inserted sections 206AB and 206CCA in the Act. The said sections provide for special provision for deduction and collection of tax at source respectively, in case of specified persons at higher rates specified therein.
2. “Specified person” has been defined to mean a person who has not filed the returns of income for both the two assessment years relevant to the two previous years immediately preceding the financial year in which tax is required to be deducted or collected, for which the time limit for filing return of income under sub-section (1) of section 139 has expired; and the aggregate of tax deducted at source and tax collected at source in his case is rupees fifty thousand or more in each of these two previous years. Government has provided online utility to taxpayers to check whether the person is specified person or not.
3. Further, the provisions of section 206AB are not applicable in relation to transactions on which tax is to be deducted under sections 192, 192A, 194B, 194BB, 194LBC or 194N of the Income Tax Act.
4. In order to ensure that all the persons in whose case significant amount of tax has been deducted do furnish their return of income, it is proposed to reduce two years requirement to one year by amending sections 206AB and 206CCA of the Act to provide that “specified person” to mean as a person who has not filed its return of income for the assessment year relevant to the previous year immediately preceding
the financial year in which tax is to be deducted or collected, as the case may be, and the amount of tax collected and deducted at source is Rs. 50,000 or more in the said previous year.
5. However, in order to reduce the additional burden on individual and Hindu undivided family (HUF) taxpayers covered under section 194-IA, 194-IB and 194M of the Act for whom simplified tax deduction system has been provided without requirement of TAN, it is proposed that the provisions of section 206AB will not apply in relation to transactions on which tax is to be deducted under the said sections of
6. In addition to above, it is also proposed to rectify a drafting error in sections 206AB and 206CCA wherein the terms “deductor” and “collectee” respectively were used incorrectly. Further, since the returns are now being furnished electronically, it is also proposed that in place of ‘filing’ of return, the term ‘furnishing’ of return may be substituted.
7. Further, as a consequential amendment in section 194-IB it is also proposed to omit the reference of section 206AB from sub-section (4) of the said section.
8. These amendments will take effect from 1st April, 2022. 71958

Alex DeBrincat scored his first NHL goal and put one up for Artem Anisimov to assist the Chicago Blackhawks spoiled the Montreal Canadiens’ home opener with a 3-1 victory on Tuesday night.
Tomas Plekanec scored for Montreal (1-3-0), which has dropped three in a row and scored just four goals in as many matches. The Canadiens went 0 for 5 on the power play and are currently 0 for 14 for this season.
Vegas has first house game • The Vegas Golden Knights played with their historical first regular-season house game late Tuesday night, against Arizona. The hosts scored four goals in the first phase and won 5-2.
Under a mile south on the Strip is that the massacre site where 58 people were killed and hundreds were wounded only nine days before.
The Golden Knights and the NHL maintained the catastrophe in the forefront whilst trying to offer their particular modicum of temporary aid into a recovery city.
The home opener initially was intended as a glamorous, Vegas-style introduction with a light display along with a pregame extravaganza packed with visual marvels construction on the group’s medieval nickname. Following the shooting, the group modified its aims and committed a more quiet evening to the sufferers, the initial responders as well as the survivors.
For example, T-Mobile Arena hadn’t any advertisements on the boards around the ice to the opener. Rather, the all-white boards only displayed the message “Vegas Strong.”
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said the sport “reveals what a significant league, professional sports staff may mean to a community concerning bringing people together, uniting them, helping them heal by a catastrophe and demonstrating the ability of distraction when everyone comes together.”

MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA—West Virginia University College of Law is among just 20 law schools nationally to receive a Best Value grade of A- from The National Jurist/preLaw Magazine.
The magazines recognize Best Value Law Schools as those that provide students with “excellent chances of passing the bar and getting a legal job without taking on a ton of debt.”
“We appreciate the recognition of our efforts and results,” said Gregory W. Bowman, dean of the College of Law. “The faculty, staff and administration work hard to deliver the best possible legal education while keeping expenses for our students as low as possible.”
Ten months after graduation, the WVU Law Class of 2014 had an employment rate of 77.5% for full-time, long-term Bar Passage Required and J.D. Advantage jobs. The national average is 71.1%.
WVU Law also awards more than $2.3 million a year in scholarships and grants to help keep student indebtedness to approximately $24,000 lower than the national average.

The state legislative proposal to bolster education funding for 2013-14 still means cuts for Hillsboro schools, the board learned Tuesday night.
But instead of a feared $18.7 million, it could be closer to $8 million. The district's general fund is about $169 million this year. The reductions will mark the sixth year of continual cuts for Hillsboro and its 20,900 students.
The legislative proposal relies on $200 million in PERS reform. If that doesn't happen or is held up in court, Hillsboro will slash another $3.7 million from next school year's budget, said Adam Stewart, chief financial officer.
Hillsboro has whittled down its budget annually since 2008, cutting a total of 242 jobs. Of those, 118 were licensed positions, mostly teachers.
The district has increased class sizes over the last several years with some high school classes now topping 43 kids as well as middle and elementary school rooms exceeding 36 students. Hillsboro has cut days for so many years, it's seemingly a permanent addition to the calendar. Staff has agreed to put off step increases and cost of living raises and the district has dug into its reserves annually to bolster revenues by $5 million.
And next year offers no reprieve.
The district's Budget Study Team, a group of 45 community, school board, budget committee and district staff that has been meeting since October, offered general recommendations for the district to consider when creating the budget.
Among the suggestions was that the district take a closer look at what is absolutely necessary to comply with federal and state requirements and hone where possible.
"Don't fall into a trap that things are required when they're not," said Superintendent Mike Scott, who reported the group's findings.
They also suggested the district explore a different approach to education, such as college-style lecture classes with large numbers of students; virtual classrooms; better recognition of proficiency credits to move kids through school faster and flipped classrooms, in which students do homework in class and learn the lessons at home via technology. They also recommended the district partner more closely with area colleges, among other suggestions.
A separate committee will pull together specific recommendations to reduce the budget, and the district budget committee will review those before making a decision on May 9. The budget will then go to the school board for approval.
More information is available on the district's website.

Where plaintiffs have moved for the suppression of evidence obtained as the result of a wiretap warrant, I hold that the motion must be denied because (1) Superior Court judges have the authority to issue wiretap warrants for communications between cell phones and (2) the affidavit underlying issuance of the warrant established both that a designated offense was occurring in connection with organized crime and that normal investigative procedures would not be successful.Read More »

On Monday, Chelsea announced that Marko Marin will play for Fiorentina on loan for the 2014-15 season.
The Germany international winger featured on loan for Sevilla last season, and now he will play in Serie A.
Marin had undergone a medical with Fiorentina last week (click here to read more), with the two clubs confirming the deal on Monday.
Chelsea FC (@chelseafc) August 18, 2014
The 25-year-old joined Chelsea from Bundesliga outfit Werder Bremen in the summer of 2012 for a reported transfer fee of €8 million.
Much was expected of Marin, dubbed as the ‘German Messi’, but he failed to make his mark in his debut season in the Premier League in 2012-13.
Marin played 16 competitive matches for the Blues, scoring once in the process, as he won the Europa League. The following season Marin won the competition again, this time with Sevilla.
Following the announcement of Marin’s temporary departure to Fiorentina, Chelsea fans took to social networking site Twitter to have their say on the matter.
Below is a selection of the tweets posted by the Blues’ fans. We have also included reactions of other clubs’ supporters.
German Messi, back-to-back Europa winner, scored a diving header. Now has 'played at all top European leagues' to add to his resume. #Marin— Cesc Ham (@FakeLamps) August 18, 2014
@chelseafc Why don't you just sell him!???— Lobitta T. (@LobittaT) August 18, 2014
@chelseafc NEXT: TORRES OUUUUT— #Frankie (@Bluees26) August 18, 2014
Does Marko Marin have a long-term future at Chelsea?

Below, you will notice that my favorite books fall under three different headings: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Romance, and Honorable Mentions. Out of 114 books read during the year, I have chosen the most memorable from those rated A/A- (5.0/4.75), and a few "honorable mentions" from books rated B+ (4.5). These are books that were highly recommended and quite memorable despite the lower grade.
SFF: (Click on titles to read reviews)
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
Fantasy (2014, Tor Books)
I loved this stand-alone fantasy and ended up reading it more than once this past year. The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison stands out from the rest with a hopeful outlook and an unforgettable central character.
Ancillary Justice* & Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie
Science Fiction Space Opera (2014, Orbit)
Ancillary Justice and Ancillary Sword by Ann Leckie are, without a doubt, my favorite science fiction books of 2014, with Ancillary Justice (*2013, Orbit) read in January 2014, taking the top spot. I also reread these books throughout the year. I love the unique world-building and characters, and was particularly taken with the characterization and emotional impact that Leckie achieved in this a science fiction opera with an AI as central character.
Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
Speculative Fiction (2014, FSG Original)
With its nameless characters and truly mysterious Area X, VanderMeer's Annihilation drew me into the mind of a biologist whose skewed perspective and detached narrative took me away from reality. This is a book I could not stop reading.
The Girl with All The Gifts by M.R. Carey
Speculative Fiction Thriller/Horror (2014, Orbit)
Post-apocalyptic zombies? We've heard of those before and I am not a fan. But The Girl with All The Gifts is not that typical a book, and after having read the first 10 chapters, I was hooked by a little girl named Melanie. This book is a fantastic read that I devoured as soon as it was released. A keeper!
World of Trouble (The Last Policeman III) by Ben H. Winters
Science Fiction Pre-Apocalyptic Mystery (2014, Quirk Books)
World of Trouble is the last book in Ben H. Winters The Last Policeman pre-apocalyptic mystery trilogy. Hank Palace's actions may seem obsolete to some, but he is one of my favorite, most memorable characters of the year. This is a trilogy that makes readers ask questions of themselves, and with World of Trouble, Winters ended Palace's journey just the way it should.
The Winter Long (October Daye #8) by Seanan McGuire
Urban Fantasy (2014, DAW)
In 2013 I read the entire October Daye UF series and it took me a while to warm up to the main character Toby and to the series as a whole. So it was a surprise to me when The Winter Long turned out to be my favorite UF read of the year. McGuire's execution is particularly notable. She opens up this series, drives it forward, while revealing some long-held secrets and closing up threads. A fabulous read!
It Happened One Wedding by Julie James
Contemporary Romance (2014, Jove)
I loved this contemporary romance by Julie James with its snappy dialog, sense of humor, and narrow focus on the main couple. It is fun and sexy, with an oblivious couple whose love grows from one fantastic hostile meeting that is used to build heat between the two, until surprise! They are in love. This romance is the perfect example of an up-to-the moment, sexy, fun, read.
Now and Forever (A Last Past Romance, Part 2) by Logan Belle
Contemporary Romance (2014, Moxie Books)
Now and Forever is Part 2 of Logan Belle's A Last Chance Romance. I love that this two-part series is all about an adult woman's journey. She finds love with the right man while dealing with real-life conflicts. With a sexy, erotic romance, and pertinent, relatable conflicts to today's woman, Now and Forever is one of my favorite reads of the year.
Always to Remember by Lorraine Heath
Historical Romance (Kindle Ed. 2010, Harper Collins)
Always to Remember came as a complete surprise to me! I read it up for Wendy's TBR Challenge as it had been in my Kindle for a long time. This book is also the only historical romance to have received an A grade from me in 2014. A fantastic American post-civil war romance set in Texas, this RITA Award winner is exquisitely executed by Lorraine Heath. With both a memorable plot and characters, there is no question that it belongs right here. A classic!
The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine
YA/Historical Fantasy-based Fiction (2014, Atria Books)
The Paradox Trilogy by Rachel Bach
Science Fiction Space Opera (2014, Orbit)
Seduced (Into the Wild #1) by Molly O'Keefe
Historical Romance Western (2014, Molly Fader)
In Want of a Wife by Jo Goodman
Historical Romance Western (2014, Berkley)
Some interesting facts:
- Of the 114 books read (I did not count rereads or DNFs), most of the favorite reads on this list are SFF (Science Fiction / Fantasy).
- I read few historical romances in 2014. Regardless, it is interesting to note that my top 3 are all western historical romances.
- I read more westerns than usual, across the board: romance (historical, contemporary, YA, m/m), mystery, young adult fiction, LGBT.
- Mysteries take the top spot though. Even some of my science fiction and fantasy books had a mystery as the core plot. Lots of mystery mash-ups in 2014!
- As in previous years, I read some fantastic LGBT books. My favorites are listed on a separate post. You can see them here.

RE-searchers: A critical, dialogic and enquiry-based approach to RE in primary schools (Culham St Gabriel‘s Trust / Hockerill Educational Foundation)
The RE-searchers Approach: A quick start guide with exemplar activities and units of work provides a practical ‘how to’ guide to planning using ‘the RE-searchers approach’. This resource will help interested teachers bring the RE-searcher characters to life in the classroom. It includes exciting child-friendly RE-searcher character images, a step-by-step guide to planning a unit of work, exemplar units, and over 50 warm-up/lesson activities
The RE-searchers approach encourages pupils to think about the significance and effectiveness of different methodologies and methods of enquiry in RE. To make these accessible to young children, we have personified some of them as cartoon characters: Debate-it-all Derek, Ask-it-all Ava, Have-a-go Hugo, and See-the-story Suzie. This publication is one of the outcomes of the ‘RE-searchers curriculum development project’ undertaken by Giles Freathy of Sir Robert Geffery’s Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Cornwall, whilst on secondment to The Learning Institute. It was carried out under the editorial guidance of the project’s consultant, Dr Rob Freathy, from the University of Exeter. We would like to thank Culham St Gabriel’s Trust and The Hockerill Educational Foundation for their generous sponsorship of the project.
NEW research article:Freathy et al_BJES_2017 RE-searchers
NEW RE-searchers Book (2nd Edition) is available here: http://www.reonline.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/Quick-Start-Guide-The-RE-searchers-Approach.pdf
This publication is very practical and will provide teachers interested trialling the approach with a step-by-step guide to planning RE-searchers’ units. There are over 50 practical activity ideas included. These can to be used to help students ‘get into character’ and many of them can be extended to be whole lesson activities. Many (if not all) of these ideas are applicable to secondary students as well.
Giles is available to lead local hub meetings and answer any questions about this or other resources we have published. All of our publications are now available at: http://www.reonline.org.uk/re-searchers/

Additional videos created by Lorraine Abbott via her blog: https://lorraineabbott.wordpress.com/2015/01/05/re-searchers-a-dialogic-approach/ (RE-searchers: A Dialogic Approach) which can be used with students.
The current project (Freathy, Freathy, Doney, Walshe and Teece, Jan 2014 – Dec 2014) seeks to develop these pedagogical principles and procedures further, in consultation with a wider range of schools and teachers, and in preparation for a longer-term and larger-scale research and development project.
If you would like to find out more about the project, or get involved in developing or trialling curriculum resources, please contact Giles Freathy
More about the project:
An innovative pedagogical approach to Religious Education (RE) has been trialled very successfully in one primary school in the southwest of England. It is informed by the belief that the main purpose of RE should be to teach pupils the disciplinary knowledge and skills associated with the communities of academic practice concerned with theological and religious studies, and it synthesizes critical and dialogic pedagogical principles.
The approach seeks to enable pupils to enter into the kind of informed, critical and sensitive dialogues which are at the heart of academic study of religion(s) (see Freathy & Freathy 2013). It acknowledges that there is no neutral vantage point from which religions can be explored without prejudice, and it seeks to facilitate the critical discussion and evaluation of a plurality of perspectives through practical, participative and inter-active methods of critical dialogic enquiry.
For the purpose of trialling the approach in practice, pupils were re-conceived as joint researchers working alongside teachers to investigate the effectiveness of different methods of studying religion(s), and thereby, acquiring the knowledge and skills associated with the communities of academic practice concerned with theological and religious studies. To do so, a simple technique was developed utilising four cartoon characters (with illustrations and accompanying profiles) each representative of different research methodologies. These ‘RE-searchers‘ were then used by pupils to explore the efficacy of the different approaches, and thereby pupils were introduced to more abstract issues concerning ontology, epistemology and methodology.

With each new subsidy, tax incentive, or project, we are told some number of jobs will follow. You’ve probably seen the headlines. The Trans Mountain Pipeline will create 3,300 permanent jobs and Energy East will create over 4,250. Bombardier, which is actively seeking government financial support, claims responsibility for 64,800.
The numbers aren’t pulled from thin air, they come from what are called economic impact studies. They are used in marketing campaigns and occasionally are even mandated by governments. The application process for Alberta’s new subsidy for petrochemical plants, for example, requires them.
Unfortunately, such studies are easy to misinterpret, rarely explained, and can make bad public policy look good. Let’s explore their limitations.
What’s really the net effect of a new petrochemical plant on overall employment? Roughly zero.
Suppose you spent $1 million on beer. This spending would employ a brewer or two, but it doesn’t stop there. Breweries must also buy inputs — grains, fuel, and so on. Suppliers then employ more workers, and themselves buy more inputs. The cycle continues on and on.
Statistics Canada does the math in what is called an “Input-Output Model.” For breweries, $1 million in additional sales will “create” over $1.8 million in total sales and 4.6 jobs throughout the economy. These are called the direct plus indirect effects.
Next, workers are paid income, which they’ll spend, spurring yet another round of sales, hiring, and input purchases. These are called the induced effects. For breweries, it adds another 1.4 jobs. Overall, that’s just over six jobs per $1 million in new brewery sales.
Unfortunately, these studies have serious problems.
First, why consider only worker incomes when calculating induced effects? What about business owners? Won’t they also spend additional incomes? If we account for this, something interesting happens. The more business income that gets recycled as spending, the larger the induced effects.
And there’s no limit. Under some tweaks to the model, an additional $1 in spending can imply millions – heck, billions – of new jobs! If both workers and firms spend all of any additional income, the “induced” effects become infinite!
Obviously, this is silly. While students learn this startling result, the artificial nature of induced effects is not widely appreciated.
This brings us to the next problem: The models assume workers are in limitless supply. Add up all the direct, indirect and induced jobs in the Canadian economy using Statistics Canada’s standard numbers and you get about 36 million jobs. No matter that there are only 18 million workers to go around, the model doesn’t care.
In reality, total employment is largely pinned down by how many workers there are. More jobs in one part of the economy mean fewer jobs in another. Demand for labour is important, of course, but so is supply.
So what’s really the net effect of a new petrochemical plant on overall employment? Roughly zero. Workers, with few exceptions, would otherwise have been employed elsewhere. The plant doesn’t increase employment, it shifts employment.
This leads us to a final point: The models account for benefits, but not costs. Want a subsidy? Point to the concentrated and visible gains. Want a larger subsidy? Point to large spillover gains from indirect and induced effects.
The costs, on the other hand, are less visible – though they are no less real. As we saw, workers that shift into one activity are no longer available to work in another. Money to provide subsidies must also come from somewhere. Typically, the funds are raised through distortionary taxes that lower economic activity. Income taxes lower employment, and corporate taxes lower investment. These costs are absent from typical economic impact studies.
So how can we improve? Better models are available. Instead of simple “input-output” models, we can use what are known as “general equilibrium” ones. They have many benefits, including recognizing that workers are in limited supply.
We can also put more weight on income and productivity, and less on job creation claims. Producing electricity with a fleet of stationary bicycles, after all, would employ an army of workers but is hardly sensible policy.
Finally, we should push back against those making dodgy claims. Results from economic impact studies, especially those regarding induced effects, aren’t what they’re cracked up to be.

"Find in Files" dialog: buttons too small on Ubuntu 9.10
|Reported by:||zenogantner||Owned by:|
Hi, with Ubuntu's default theme, the buttons of the "Find in Files" dialog are much too small.
I suspect that other architectures also have similar problems.
I have attached screenshots of the English and the German interface.

What is hypoallergenic skin care?
Hypoallergenic is a term that describes beauty products. It indicates that products that are labeled hypoallergenic have fewer ingredients (allergens) in the formula that could cause an allergic reaction or irritate the skin.
It also suggests hypoallergenic products to be safer to use and gentle for sensitive types.
This information gives the consumer guidance in choosing which products might be best for their skin, and it helps reduce the possibility of an ingredient that may cause a problem.
Many skin care products contain harmful fragrances, chemical, and plant-based substances that can disrupt your skin and cause harmful side effects.
The product label may be seen as familiar terms such as hypoallergenic skincare, “100% organic,” “Dermatologist-tested,” “Safe for,” “Allergy tested,” “Non comedogenic,” and “Non-irritating” although it doesn’t mean they are entirely safe for you- There are no assurances - since hypoallergenic label usage has no FDA official regulation.
Since the use of the term “hypoallergenic” can be very misleading, it is best to be accountable for ourselves and research the best we can.
With the huge rise in popularity of natural products, people are looking for safer, environmentally–friendly products. For those people with sensitivity to many conventional beauty products, trying hypoallergenic skin care products that are designed safe for sensitive types can provide an additional measure of safety.
People living with allergies need to be very careful to avoid triggering an unwanted allergic reaction. Products that are based on the gentleness of the ingredients and free of irritants are one solution.
While some companies, unfortunately, will loosely-label their products there are many reputable companies out there that have taken the steps to reduce the allergens in their hypoallergenic skin care products and cosmetics. The trick is to find just the right product that has a formula suited for you.
Shopping for hypoallergenic products from a trusted source could greatly improve your chances that you will find something less likely to cause a problem, but you still have to do your homework.
Keep in mind that everybody is different and finding the right product may take some patience and “trial and error” testing. To start narrowing down the odds, it’s best to start with products that contain only a few ingredients. A simple ingredient list will give you an edge to be able to keep track of what ingredient may give you a bad reaction.
As you become familiar with ingredients and discover which ones cause a problem, you can start to weed out certain products simply by reading labels.
The good news is that some companies offer safe, quality products so there is no reason why we should continue using products that contain toxic chemical ingredients.
Make it your business to learn what ingredients pose a health threat. Learning what to look for and eliminate the harmful ingredients in your beauty regime could make great improvements in your appearance and overall health.
Eliminating harmful chemicals from possibly building up in the body over time may prevent certain health conditions later on.
Selecting the best non-toxic product may be some what of a challenge. Recognizing possible dangerous ingredients will help you avoid them and help you make a better decision.
Parabens are chemicals used in a variety of personal care products, cosmetics and many other products. They are commonly used as preservatives. They are an inexpensive choice to prevent the growth of fungus and bacteria.
Synthetically produced preservatives are the biggest culprits for causing rashes, allergic reactions, damage to the immune system, reproductive issues, and some studies have shown them related to severe health risks especially breast cancer.
Look for paraben-free products.
This is just a partial list of thousands of synthetic chemicals – To find out more check out Skin Deep Cosmetics Safety Database-
Hypoallergenic skin care can be the solution to sensitive types.
Be a smart consumer -Learn more about what to look for and what to avoid when it comes to taking care of your complexion and use this knowledge when shopping for sensitive skin products.

“Ask and you will receive. Seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you. For whoever asks, receives; whoever seeks, finds; and whoever knocks is admitted.”
As I read this parable, the words that leaped off the page at me were not the familiar lines I have just quoted. No, what stood out to me was “in the middle of the night”. As I spent some time with this it occurred to me that when Jesus speaks of the man banging on his friend’s door to borrow three loaves of bread, he comes in the middle of the night. That led me to more questions than answers.
How desperate do I have to be to bang on a person’s door in the middle of the night? How did I get to this door? Where did I come from? Did I leave a place of relative comfort and safety or I am searching for a safe haven for the night? If I bang on this door, do I really even know what I need? Do I have to courage to ask for it? Do I have the faith to admit that I may not know what I need but know deep down that I need something I can only find here? Do I have the audacity to ask for refuge for the night?
One thing I am certain of: if I am going to venture out in the middle of the night in search of something, I would have to be fairly certain that the occupant of this house would open the door. I would also have to be certain that the occupant would be both capable and willing to provide me with whatever it is that I need.
At the encouragement of my spiritual director, I placed myself in this scene and spent several evenings returning to it. The following is what I saw and heard there in the middle of the night at the door of the house of my Lord.
The door opens and I am face to face with Jesus. I can see the kindness and compassion in His eyes. He already knows why I have come and yet He waits patiently for me to speak. I am overwhelmed by exhaustion and a swirling storm of emotions. I am tired, lonely, and completely empty. Again I am frozen, speechless, on the doorstep with tears coursing down my cheeks. Some nasty little voice inside whispers to me “Run! You don’t belong here and you know it.” I can feel the fear welling up inside of me. The insecurity creeps in again. Who am I to bang on the door of my Lord in the middle of the night?
His gaze hold me fixed there on the doorstep and He smiles at me. There is so much love and tenderness in that smile and a gentleness in his eyes like I have never seen. I fight the urge to run. I so desperately need to be here. I want to be here. Why am I so afraid of such great love? The inner battle finally saps what little is left of my strength and I fall to ground at His feet, sobbing uncontrollably.
“I am so tired, Lord and I’ve become so lost again. I just want to rest awhile. I can’t go any further.”
“Come inside. Eat and drink with me. Rest your head. Leave your cares with me. When you have eaten and you have rested, you can continue on your journey. You are always welcome here. Do not be afraid to come to me. I am always waiting for you, no matter what the hour.”
With that, He stretches out His hand and pulls me to my feet. Putting His arm around me, supporting me, He guides me to the kitchen table, which is set with bread and wine for two. I suddenly realize how very hungry I am and how thirsty I have become. As He passes me pieces of bread and fills and refills my wine, I pour out my fears, my worries, my broken dreams, my failures and my sins. He listens intently and patiently. Finally, He asks me, “Child, what is your deepest desire?”
Without stopping to think, I reply, “To love and be loved. To be accepted as I am. To be seen and to be understood.”
Taking my hand in both of His, He smiles again saying,”My beloved daughter, this is why you come to me. Do you love me?”
“Yes Lord, I do. You know I do.”
“Who can understand you better than He who created you? You come to me whenever you are in need. No matter what you need or how much you need, I will give it to you if you ask. Do not be afraid to ask me for I will give you all that you need. Come when you are tired, when you are hungry, thirsty, in pain and lonely. I am always here for you. Do not let your fears keep you away from me. I will never reject you. I understand when you fail and I forgive all your sins. Do not be afraid. Knock anytime and I will be at the door, waiting to care for you. Your faith has brought you to me. Rest now and go forward in my peace. Be assured of my love for you.”
I close my eyes, resting my head on my arms and fall fast asleep.
I awoke the next morning in my bed after sleeping a full night’s sleep for one of the few times in several years without the help of alcohol or sleeping pills. I awoke refreshed and somehow lighter. All of the worries and fears are still with me, but they no longer have the same weight. All because I dared to knock.
Why did the man in the parable knock on the door in the middle of the night?
It was to borrow three loaves because a friend had come in from a journey and he had nothing to offer his friend. I have been filled and cared for so that I can return to my home and do the same for those who come to me in their hour of need. And when I am empty, I know the way to the house of my Lord. He will give me all that I need, including the courage to knock.

Our management consoles also provide administrators with access to usage statistics, by login credential, for 6 months of usage. These statistics itemize the training videos viewed, by user, by date, and include the amount of time spent on each of the videos. Our training assets are strictly in video tutorial format, which conforms best to context-specific usage, on demand. Finally, we presently publish over 600 video tutorials exclusively on SharePoint topics, which is likely to be the largest set of video content on this computing platform housed anywhere on line.
The usage statistics information can make a substantial contribution to efforts to demonstrate return on investment for SharePoint. Certainly implementation costs for all types of software implemented in an enterprise setting are under very close scrutiny. SharePoint stakeholders can include usage statistics to demonstrate “community fluency” on SharePoint topics and techniques. Demonstrating a pervasive understanding of SharePoint policies and procedures can be an important preliminary step in a process of estimating the efficiency of an overall SharePoint computing platform for a specific enterprise. Knowledgeable users certainly make greater use of software than their less familiar counterparts.

Authority: Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost
History: First Issued: October 2000. Last Revised: October 30, 2014.
NCSU POL05.20.01 – Appointment, Reappointment, Promotion and Permanent Tenure
NCSU REG05.20.27 – Statements of Mutual Expectations
NCSU REG05.20.34 – Non-Tenure Track Faculty Ranks and Appointments
Office of the Provost RPT Website
Contact Info: Dean of the College of Sciences, (919-515-7277)
The departments and the college shall implement standards and procedures that are consistent with the following NC State documents:
This rule describes the procedures and standards used by the college for reappointment, promotion and tenure. The college guidelines are general in nature and are developed more specifically by each department within the college.
2. Tenure-Track Faculty General Standards
2.1 Initial appointments and reappointments as assistant professor are made on the basis of accomplishments, promise and ability in teaching, scholarly activity, and engagement and extension, as appropriate.
2.2 Initial appointment as associate professor, promotion to associate professor, and the conferral of tenure are based on demonstrated excellence in teaching, scholarly activity, and engagement and extension, as appropriate.
Excellent teaching is most apparent when high expectations are set and students meet these expectations, and when students demonstrate high levels of learning. Generally, this involves an instructional format that inspires students to participate and go beyond the minimal expectations for satisfactory performance.
Grant support is an important external recognition of a person’s research; it is an expression of confidence by experts in the field that the work is worthwhile. Likewise, peer reviewed publications attest to the quality and significance of an investigation. These accomplishments, along with invited talks and assessments by external experts, are among the measures of impact of a faculty member’s research.
2.3 Appointment as, or promotion to, the rank of professor is based on sustained excellence in teaching, scholarly productivity, and engagement and extension, as appropriate. All of the qualities that apply to the rank of associate professor should be present with more substantial expectations and evidence of major impact. It is important that external measures of the importance of current work be obtained, and in this sense all areas such as peer reviewed publications, talks, grants, teaching and departmental participation should be strong.
2.4 The merit of the faculty member’s program rather than time in rank is the basic standard for all recommendations for RPT. However, the dossier should demonstrate that the faculty member has established a record of performance at NC State.
- Non-tenure Track Faculty General Standards
3.1 Title Change from Lecturer/Senior Lecturer to Teaching Assistant Professor
The change of a faculty member’s title from Lecturer or Senior Lecturer to a Non-tenure Track Assistant Professor is not considered a promotion. The College of Sciences follows NCSU REG 05.20.34, section 10.1.3, which reads in pertinent part:
If a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer attains the qualifications for the rank of Assistant Professor, a title change to a Non-tenure Track Assistant Professor may be made if supported by a positive DVF vote, a justification from the Department Head, and approval of the Dean. This applies only when the individual’s qualifications have changed and the job duties remain the same. If the job duties change, then it is considered a new position and appropriate procedures must be carried out to fill it.
These faculty members are eligible for promotions as described below in Section 3.3.
3.2 Lecturer to Senior Lecturer
Promotion to Senior Lecturer requires a minimum of 5 years of service within the college or in a comparable position in another NC State college or at another institution. The decision to promote a Lecturer to Senior Lecturer requires demonstrated excellence in teaching and successful fulfillment of other realms of responsibility, usually scholarship and service, as defined in the faculty member’s Statement of Mutual Expectations.
3.3 Promotion of Professorially Ranked Non-tenure Track
Promotion is based on the same evidence used to promote tenure track faculty in the proportions and quality as described in the Department’s RPT Rule and the faculty member’s Statement of Mutual Expectations.
- Dossier Requirements
4.1 Requirement for External Evaluation Letters
In accordance with NCSU REG05.20.34 – Non-Tenure Track Faculty Ranks and Appointments Section 9.1.3 which requires each Dean to establish for the college for all the categories of full-time (> 0.75 FTE) NTT faculty with professorial rank whether to require external evaluation letters for the dossier, the Dean of the College of Sciences has decided the following:
Letters are required for Research Assistant/Associate/Full Professors.
Letters are not required for:
Clinical Assistant/Associate/Full Professors
Extension Assistant/Associate/Full Professors
Teaching Assistant/Associate/Full Professors
Assistant/Associate/Full Professors of the Practice
4.2 Documentation of External Funding
When documenting one’s external funding record in the reappointment, promotion and tenure dossier, in addition to the required RADAR report, when appropriate the faculty member should include an estimate of the portion of a shared grant for which they are responsible.
- College Reappointment, Promotion, and Tenure Committee (CRPTC)
5.1. The six members will consist of one representative from each department who is appointed by the department head after consultation with the DVF. The department representatives must be tenured full professors.
5.2. The Chair will be elected annually by and from the committee members.
5.3. The term shall be three years. Appointments are to be staggered so that each year two members complete their three-year terms and are replaced by new members whose terms commence on July 1. Members are not allowed to serve successive terms. If a member relinquishes his or her position before the three-year term expires, a replacement shall be appointed by their department to serve out the remainder of the unexpired term. A member appointed to fill an unexpired term may be reappointed.
5.4. Members of the CRPTC are not eligible to vote on cases from their home departments. They may not advocate for the candidate on their own behalf or on behalf of the DVF or Department Head. They will remain available only for information such as journal stature, discipline nuances, etc.
- Department Heads and College Administrators
Department Heads are not included in the department voting faculty (DVF). Their written assessment and recommendation will serve as their input.
College administrators, who also hold tenured positions in departments, are not to vote in their home departments, but are to have input through consultation with the Dean. They are not to be accounted for in the vote tally of their home department DVF.

In Friday’s Carpenter v. United States the Supreme Court by 5-4, with Chief Justice John Roberts writing and joined by the four liberals, held that police collection of cellphone location records covering a period of a week is a search covered by the Fourth Amendment and generally requires a warrant. Orin Kerr has first thoughts. Ilya Shapiro at Cato writes that the Court reaches “the right result for the wrong reason,” in an “artificial muddle” of a decision that carves an exception into the third-party doctrine without the more searching rethinking of search and seizure law that is needed.
More promising, Shapiro says, is Justice Neil Gorsuch’s opinion — which he styles as a dissent, but is a concurrence in all but name — which points the way to rethinking and strengthening Fourth Amendment search and seizure law along first principles of “the people’s right to be secure in their ‘persons, houses, papers, and effects’ based not on privacy expectations but on property rights, contract law, and statutory protections (all of which can certainly be applied in the modern digital age).” The alternative, says Shapiro, will be for the Court to fall back on “reinventing the Fourth Amendment with each technological revolution,” amid new ad hoc exceptions and elaborations. More background at Cato at earlier stages of the case: Matthew Feeney on oral argument, merits brief, certiorari brief.

Food Trucks are the latest rage in most major cities across North America. The idea of food trucks is nothing revolutionary. Food trucks have been around since at least 1866, when they were pulled by horses and called chuckwagons. However, the trend has picked up greatly in the last few years and is riding a huge wave of popularity.
Many cities have relaxed the bylaws governing these street vendors and are allowing them greater freedom. This has not only spiced up the food scene but has also triggered a turf war in many cities between the more traditional brick-and-mortar restaurants and the invading army of food trucks. Restaurant owners are demanding stricter regulations for these mobile vendors in a bid to ease the competitive pressure.
In 2013, Air Canada's 'enRoute' magazine awarded the People's Choice Award for Canada's Best New Restaurant to Vij's Railway Express, a food truck. Yes, Canada's best new restaurant is a food truck, run by the award-winning chef, Vikram Vij, from Vancouver, British Columbia. This demonstrates how gourmet trucks are challenging the traditional restaurants for food market revenue.
Brightly painted food trucks can now be seen parked in every major city offering cheap, mouthwatering delights. Many people, who have sampled these foods enjoy the culinary experience but...are the foods from these trucks safe?
Between late 2010 and early 2011, approximately 91 people fell ill in an outbreak of Salmonella poisoning in Calgary. A subsequent investigation by Alberta Health Services found a mobile catering company responsible for triggering the outbreak. Six of the affected people were company employees. The Salmonella-infected eggs were apparently bought from an illegal supplier.
According to information posted on AHS website, 26 of Calgary's 35 food trucks failed inspection, most with water and temperature related shortcomings. Some food trucks had been caught with no soap for their employees to wash their hands. Fortunately, stricter inspections have resulted in a much better showing by these mobile vendors.
But the news is not all bad. A recent survey conducted in seven major U.S. cities, has found substantial improvements. The Institute for Justice, a public-interest law firm, conducted the 'Street Eats, Safe Eats' survey in Washington D.C, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Seattle, Louisville, Boston and Miami, selecting these cities because food trucks and restaurants are subjected to the same regulations and inspection regimes in these jurisdictions. Over 260,000 inspection reports were reviewed and, surprisingly, food trucks in all these cities had averaged fewer sanitation violations as compared to restaurants. Food trucks in Los Angeles fared better than anywhere else with only half as many violations as restaurants. As a result, the Institute for Justice has put its weight behind the drive to relax food truck regulations... so much for calling them "roach coaches."
Food trucks' better performance may be attributed to fewer employees and fewer ingredients. Most of these gourmet trucks serve a limited range of signature items, which makes their kitchens easier to manage. Whatever the reason, this is good news for all foodies out there, who love to eat from the street. Truck kitchens are often easier for customers to inspect as you can peer over the counter and have a quick look inside. Fortunately, most cities require vendors to publicly display their inspection grades, which should help you decide between trying a new tasty treat or giving it a miss.
Food trucks offer unique and tasty culinary experiences and have become a part of the cultural heritage in the cities they serve. Market trends have clearly established that the food truck phenomenon is here to stay. Eating from a street vendor can be a satisfying and a delicious experience... provided you're street smart enough to choose the right truck.

Even many Republicans agree that they lost the battle over the shutdown and the debt ceiling. The tea party walked the country to the edge of economic ruin and their party to the edge of political catastrophe until Republican leaders in Congress flinched. Maneuvering themselves into that defeat was an act of insane recklessness by Republicans and a political gaffe of the first order. Perhaps they’ll do it again in a few months.
Democrats, though, have little to celebrate — and I’m not talking about the shambolic rollout of the health-insurance exchanges. Republicans saw their approval numbers sink with the debt-ceiling standoff, but not nearly as badly as you might have guessed. This should be making Democrats think.
Opinion polls put them between five and 10 percentage points ahead of the Republicans, about where they were in the first few months of the year. President Barack Obama has a net disapproval rating of between five and 10 points. At the start of the year, he had a net approval rating of more than 10 points. The balance flipped to negative in the summer, and the debt-ceiling fight didn’t flip it back.
These poll numbers hardly let the tea party off the hook. If you ask me, the politicians who designed the strategy of threatening to default and the others who went along with it have shown themselves unfit to hold public office. Yet Republican leaders bowed in the end to what they saw as the prospect of certain defeat, not to an actual landslide of support for the Democrats and the president.
Why has the anti-Republican backlash, such as it is, been so mild? Here’s an obvious yet strangely neglected answer: Much of the electorate, while deploring the tea party’s nihilistic tactics, thinks the movement has a point.
News flash: Most Americans don’t share the Democratic Party’s instinctive devotion to higher taxes and a bigger federal government. An enraged and unhinged minority of voters apparently wants to see the liberal agenda attacked by any means necessary, even if it means paralyzing the government and wrecking the economy. But a far wider segment wants to see the progressive program at least questioned and held in check — and who will do that, if not the Republican Party?
The answer to that question could have been and should have been the president. Many Democrats criticize Obama for being too centrist and accommodating, but this is a false reading. True, Obama has often given ground under pressure, which has made him look weak. But when has he ever led the country to a workable compromise, rather than being led there? He’s always the reluctant centrist, never the centrist by conviction.
Think of health-care reform. The White House outsourced this enormous project (whose goals, by the way, I’m all for) to a Democratic Congress guided by the principle that “elections have consequences” — meaning, never mind the other side’s objections and the idea that a reform of this scope should have bipartisan support. Republicans did push back and Obama did make concessions, but the president was never in charge and never wanted to be.
Or think of fiscal policy. What has Obama done to advance the discussion that the country still needs on tax and entitlement reform? He appointed a presidential commission to advise on the issues and then, in effect, disowned it. All one can really say about the president’s fiscal preferences is that he thinks higher taxes on the rich and higher public spending are, other things equal, good ideas. Obama doesn’t stand for fiscal discipline; he has fiscal discipline thrust upon him.
Or think of states’ rights. This is a politically divided country, with big divisions running along geographical lines. An arrangement that circumscribes the federal government’s role, leaving as much as feasible to be decided by states — an arrangement like the one envisaged in the Constitution — has much to be said for it. Obama could speak up for that idea, but doesn’t. He could acknowledge, and perhaps even believe, that the burden of proof lies with those who propose expanding federal powers, but doesn’t. It’s worse than that: You cannot say “states’ rights” to many Democrats without being accused of racism.
There’s another theory to account for the mildness of the backlash against the Republicans’ irresponsibility — and this rival explanation, much favored by their critics, is actually a big part of the Democrats’ problem. It’s the idea that voters are just so stupid. One of the things that strikes me as a foreigner living in the U.S. is that American metropolitan liberals despise every kind of bigotry, except the kind directed at the dumb hicks who inhabit the middle of the country. I mean, those people vote Republican!
Trust me, the kind of naked class prejudice that is no longer acceptable in polite U.K. society is rife in Washington and other redoubts of American liberal condescension — and the flyover people know it. Nobody likes to be talked down to, Americans least of all. If Democrats could bring themselves to respect the people they say they want to help, the Republican Party would be in deep trouble. On this, the tea party has no cause for concern.
Who’s stupid? The electorate for thinking it needs reckless irresponsible Republicans to keep Obama and the Democrats in check? Or Democrats, for proving at every opportunity that that view is correct?

It’s Christmas next…
Tomorrow, our friends and customers in the USA will be celebrating thanksgiving.
This celebration, which has been on the fourth Thursday in November since Boxing Day 1941, when President Franklin D Roosevelt signed a joint resolution to move it from the last Thursday in November, gives thanks for a bountiful harvest crop.
In recent years, Americans now see it as the start of their holiday season, and with just over one week until we start December, we will soon be in the festive spirit too!
During this season of goodwill, we are encouraged to not only plan for the big day but to take time to think about all the things we should be grateful for.
This past year at PLAANK has seen us move into a new warehouse. Our dedicated new warehouse not only gives us a more efficient layout to house our product ranges, but it has given us the opportunity to plan ahead, knowing that we can accommodate new and exciting products in the future.
We have been able to add over 20% more products to our current portfolio.
This year has seen some amazing installations, including several in the States.
In Spring, our Rocky Mountain Grey was used to transform a truly palatial residence. The double height room, with fabulous windows and stunning architectural details had a full length wall fitted in wall panelling, which we could only describe as spectacular!
This Autumn, we were furnished with photographs of another amazing property. With similar double height proportions, a feature wall was clad in Culebra Peak White.
Both these homeowners have totally transformed their living spaces and will be celebrating their Thanksgiving and Christmas this year in style…
So even though it’s December next week, it’s still not to late to transform your own home ready for the big day!

Among all the great crime fiction set in Boston, it's hard to pick one or two. I'll start with Robert B. Parker's Spenser, a tough private eye with a heart of gold in the mold of Raymond Chandler's Philip Marlowe. Spenser is as synonymous with Boston as baked beans and Harvard Square.
Mortal Stakes is the third book in this series. Spenser hasn't settled into the character he becomes over Parker's 35 years of writing; however, we see the personal code of ethics, the wisecracks, and the plotting that made Parker's early books so fresh and entertaining. Here, Spenser is hired to investigate Marty Rabb, the ace Red Sox pitcher who is married to a former call girl and is suspected of throwing games, but this book is more about loyalty and justice than it is about baseball. The action builds to a tremendous climax that has a lasting impact on Spenser.
We'll now leave the hardboiled Boston of Mortal Stakes for the bizarre Boston of Russell H. Greenan's 1968 book, It Happened in Boston? If you read my review of Greenan's The Secret Life of Algernon Pendleton, you already know that Greenan writes highly original suspense, featuring black comedy, eccentric characters, and very odd—albeit fascinating—philosophical ideas. He's a master at creating logically complex worlds, often set in Boston, where Greenan has lived since the 1950s. (At one time, he owned a Harvard Square bookstore named The Cat and Racquet, after the story by Honoré de Balzac, and he mines this experience and his knowledge of Boston for his books.) His poor characters don't deserve what's coming to them, but there's nothing a reader can do other than to watch, cringe, and laugh.
In this particular book, our narrator—an extremely talented and paranoid artist—wishes to meet God and hold Him accountable for the world's evil. Not for everyone; however, definitely for readers who enjoy dark humor coupled with wordplay and imaginative, complex murder mysteries.
Speaking of imaginative stories Georgette, right now I'm listening to Neal Stephenson's epic Baroque Cycle. Book One, Quicksilver, begins in Boston, as Enoch Root arrives from England to ask scientist (or, as then called, "natural philosopher") Daniel Waterhouse to return to England to try to make peace between his old friends, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz.
The book leaves Boston for England in short order, but lingers long enough for us to take a ferry trip across the Charles and meet some scholars from Harvard, who don't have very complimentary things to say about their rivals from that upstart, the Massachusetts Bay Colony Institute of the Technologickal [sic] Arts. Stephenson impressively entertains, while pouring out huge beakers full of information about science and the history of science.
If you're in the mood for Neal Stephenson, but maybe something shorter than the Baroque Cycle (three volumes of eight books), and with a lot more Boston in it, try his second novel, Zodiac. Zodiac is a thriller about Sangamon Taylor's battle against companies polluting Boston Harbor.
"S.T.," as he's called, isn't above a few shenanigans in his battle, like stopping up pipes pouring effluent into the harbor, and the notoriety his antics gains him also makes him a target for a classic fit-up job. S.T. needs to scramble out of sight so that he can clear himself and get the goods on the bad guys. Zodiac is told in the first person, which gives us the full benefit of S.T.'s wisecracks and caustic sarcasm.
Boredom is impossible when you're reading a thriller featuring Boston Police Detective Jane Rizzoli and medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles. In Vanish, Tess Gerritsen's fifth series book, they tackle a case concerning the sex trafficking of young immigrant women. The subject matter brings to mind Stieg Larsson, but this book is much faster paced.
Vanish opens with the account of such a woman before we join Maura in the morgue, where we're startled to find an unidentified woman's corpse is still breathing. The woman is rushed to the hospital, and shortly thereafter, all hell breaks loose. Nine-months-pregnant Jane Rizzoli is taken hostage and her husband, FBI agent Gabriel Dean, becomes involved. It's a suspenseful and thought-provoking book with feisty female protagonists and it's perfect when you're too antsy to settle down with just anything to read.
Some summers ago, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a few days in Boston. I brought along a book to read that was based in Boston. It was Matthew Simon's The Chosen Few, which introduced me to ex-policeman, now PI, Max Lovely, as well as to the flavor of several different Boston neighborhoods.
This week, it seemed appropriate to reacquaint my self with the area, and I turned to another Max Lovely case, as chronicled in That's What Little Boys Are Made Of. Max is called into an elite private high school in the Back Bay, after a member of the student body dies unexpectedly of an overdose at a party. The headmistress, Mrs. Penrose, is not convinced that this was an accident––despite the fact that Will "Stoner" Stoneham was known to all his friends as a habitual user of all kinds of drugs and alcohol, and was frequently to be found passed out at parties. Mrs. Penrose had seen Stoner in a furious and secretive confab with another boy, who was not a friend of his, just days before his death.

It was coined by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (father of the Supreme Court Justice) to describe the region's upper crust. In India, a Brahmin is "a member of the highest or priestly caste among the Hindus," according to the Oxford English Dictionary. By applying the term to his native Boston, Holmes was describing a more secular, but equally powerful, group.
The story has a dark subject matter that might bother some readers. In the end, drugs, kids and death is an appalling triad, but for me, the trip through Boston made the read worthwhile.

The news this past week has been horrible. The bombings in Boston and ricin-laced letters sent to politicians, the intransigence of some of our elected representatives who vetoed the explicit wishes of the voters who elected them, the massive industrial explosion in Texas and even nature's springtime revels, a/ka/ the flooding and tornadoes in the Midwest; the hits just keep coming. With the rest of the country, we at Read Me Deadly grieve for these victims and their families.
My own usual response to disaster is cowardice. Heading for the hall closet to whimper in peace, stiff drink in hand, I was astonished find it already occupied. "Hi," I said uncertainly. "Who are you?"
"Get in," she hissed. "And shut the door!" As I hastily obeyed, I glanced up. A few dusty and forgotten novels of the late Boston author Charlotte MacLeod, whose farcical and convoluted mysteries are lovingly set in and around that city, lay on the shelf.
Upper-crust guests at the annual event (costume required) quaff mead made from the homegrown honey produced by thousands of happy bees from Abigail's apiary. When a second antique vehicle goes missing and one of the servants is found slathered in honey and stung to death, Max steps out of character as Shylock and gets to work. As is usual in MacLeod's work, the characters are charming and the ludicrous situations they find themselves in irresistible. I will savor this welcome and affectionate taste of Boston very slowly this weekend.

THE DAY THAT SHOOK BAILEY'S CROSSROADS
[November 29th] -- I was thinking about the Senators the other day, and got to thinking about my time growing up as a kid in an area from roughly T.C. Williams High School (it wasn't there yet) to Seven Corners Shopping Center. I saw a lot of things happen from 1960-1974 -- some I remember, some I don't. But I do remember that day in March, 1973.
The Skyline Apartments in Northern Virginia is today one of the most attractive complexes that were built in the mid 1970's. It has been renovated several times to keep up with the times, and provides a warm and attractive place to live
I doubt that many people know today that one of its buildings collapsed, killing several workers.
The construction of the Skyline Towers began in the early 1970's. The site was just north of Bailey's Crossroads in Northern Virginia, on the site of the old "piper cub airport." It had a more proper name, the "Washington-Virginia Airport." It sat on a prime piece of real estate that bordered both Seminary Road and Rout 7. Because of it's location, the Pentagon often used it for helicoptor and small aircraft trials. I remember the Goodyear blimp landing there sometime in the early to mid 1960's, and heard about some old WWII planes dressed up as Japanese fighters landing there on their way to stardom in the movie "Tora Tora Tora." By 1970, however, the encroachment of housing and telephone lines made it difficult for pilots to safely land there, and the airport that was built on Mary Cornelius’ property during World War II was sold to developers for apartment construction.
I lived on the 7th floor of the Woodlake Towers Apartments, and once the building's construction reached the third floor, I could see the towers grow from our balcony. By my senior year, 1974, the skeleton for the first building had just about reached its apex. Although the buildings began to loom over the area, we didn't give them much thought.
That is, until "that" day.
I was riding school bus #724 home from J.E.B. Stuart High School when a police car whizzed by, siren on, very unusual in Fairfax County. Within a few moments, another squad car shot past the bus heading down Columbia Pike towards Bailey's Crossroads. Suddenly, the local fire company blared its siren and its fire engines and emergency vehicles shot in the same direction. We knew something was happening, but we weren't sure what.
I entered my apartment, turned on WTTG channel 5 and made my favorite post school-day snack, a cheese sandwich with sesame crust bread. I lounged on the couch for a couple minutes and then walked by the balcony and glanced in the direction of the Skyline Towers. Something seemed different. Instead of just one building, there were two. I didn't understand. I pointed my telescope towards the building and the story became painfully clear. Part of the top floor caved in, in turn forcing each concrete slab down on the lower floor, beginning a downward domino effect that tore the building in two. Dust was still in the air and helicopters were circling the building. It was horrendous.
If memory serves, 11 men died when the concrete floors pancaked on their way down. A few months later, it was determined that the general contractor used substandard materials and to make matters worse, didn't use enough rebarb in the poor quality concrete. It was a disaster waiting to happen.
Today, the towers are beautiful and serve their tenants well. But 30 years ago, the first building suffered a loss of both integrity and lives. I'd bet this story would come as a surprise to most living in the community today.
"Screech's Best Friend" From "Nats 320" left a comment that said in part, "There is a Burke & Herbert Bank located on Seminary Road, which, at the time of the airport's existence--was on the south side of the runway. ToyRUs was on the North Side of the runway on Rte 7--Leesburg Pike. Even today, that Burke & Herbert Bank has the RED RUNWAY LANDING LIGHTS on top of its building--lining up with the NW-SE Runway that existed at that time. TRU later moved back--onto the site of the actual runway, and still exists there today." There you go, Screech. I found pictures of the bank showing the landing lights. Thanks for pointing that out.
I had no idea that had happened. I swear if it weren't for you and Screech's Best Friend I'd have no idea of what went on before I moved to the area in 1996.
Oh, and you'd be surprised how many more tall buildings are going up nearby. Also, a brand new T.C. Williams is being built right next to the existing T.C. Williams. It's massive.
You'll be pleased to know that the Seven Corners and Bailey's Crossroads areas are still firmly entrenched in the 1960s and 70s...kind of run down at this point, actually.
As amazing as it may seem--My brother, Michael and I were at the Jack In The Box with some TC WIlliams/Hammond HS friends, less than 500 yards away, east of RTE 7, when the building collapsed. The sound was EARTHQUAKE LIKE. That Jack In The Box, is now a Popeyes Fried Chicken.
There has been rumors for years that 2 bodies were never found and their ghosts haunt the parking deck under the East Tower. Never believed it.
Yes, and its true, Baileys CrossRoads and Seven Corners are just part of the strip mall set the area has become.
I haven't been home since 1986. I play with google satellite all the time, and I can navigate the old haunts very easily from 7 corners to Bailey's Crossroads. Once I go beyond that area, I have a tough time distinguishing any landmarks.
But help me on this, I thought the building that collapsed was actually part of what today is the Skyline PLAZA condo complex, on George Mason Drive at Rt 7, instead of Skyline Towers apartment buildings on Seminary Rd at Carlin Springs road. Wasn't Skyline Plaza the first of the four complexes to be built on the site? I know mine was built in 1982, and that was one of the later ones.
Would Malek have spent more -- done more -- initially then the Lerners? Absolutely. But I think they are using their real estate "sense" on the Nationals; that is to build a solid foundation and make choices based on the long-term. Sure, it's driving me crazy today, and tomorrow, and next year. But three or four years from now, this business plan will likely have made sense.
-Ron from Nationals Nation
The vast majority of my life from ages 8-18 happened from just north of that old Piper Cub Airport to 7-Corners shopping center.
Though it's been 35 years since I lived there, I can close my eyes and picture every building, every home, every stoplight from 7-Corners to Bailey's Crossroads.
I don't want to be young again, but love those memories.
One thing that's been there forever that I can't remember what it was about, is the windmill thingie in the intersection. What is that?
Grew up in Annandale, went to church at Glencarlyn Baptist, moved away in the early 80s and just came back. Typing this from Skyline Plaza (the exact part that fell down, in fact).
I never understood why there were run way lights on that bank untill now.
Jimmy Arnold was never the same he was used as the scape goat And died a very sad man he was procecuted but it was through the lack of engineering and proper inspectors that the building dropped it is the reason for a nation building code know as theshold inspection or the for stripping of concrete structures all concrete now must have engineers stripping letter stating that concrete has achieved 75% of design strength before stripping and must be post shored for full 28 days after or that 100% strength is met which is 28 days for design strength.
I had always heard that it was the fact that the concrete had not set enough to build on top of it. Wasn't it the Fairfax Journal that did a lot of reporting on the story? There was a lot of speculation that the owners pushed to get the towers up too fast, as I remember.
My dad has run the shoe repair shop @ Bradlee Shopping Center for the last 55 years (first in the Cleaners and now in its own spot.) I remember as an 11 year old when he came home and tried to explain what happened that day.
Ironically, he now lives in the South Building.
I ended up working at Skyline for several years in one of the buildings and "lucked" out by being sick a few years ago when they had the Anthrax scare...
The area has definitely changed quite a bit over the years, but I still get down there about once a month or so...
My curreent interest in the accident was brought about by a Popular Mechanics Book "Debunking 9/11 Myths. The progressive collapse of the towers duplicated what happened there. The Bailey's Crossroads accident was initiated by the premature removal of supports from the poured concrete top story.
There was a parking deck on the same site whose second story floor also pancaked down from the shock of the copllase. The supporting columns remained standing with the deck having slid down them.
I also remember a student pilot landing a bit short of the nearby airport runway. He ended up on top of a delivery truck at an adjacent soft drink botteling plant.
I now live near Charlotte NC. Moved down here in the 70s after spending six hours trapped in traffic on the beltway I figured there had to be a less stressful place to live. Told the local folk that we yankees couldn't really drive in snow either. Also acknowledged that the roads worked both ways. Great folks down here.
Richard L. Pearson Sr.
I remember that day the building collapsed as well. It was a clear day and I felt a thunderous boom and a shaking of the ground, then siren after siren going in the same direction. Sometime later that night or the next, Dad took us to see it. George Wilson was with us...There we were in the strip mall across from it at the Old Montgomery Wards/strip mall parking lot. I remember the huge floodlight illuminating the building from the ground up, and knowing that people died there made it most ominous.
Does anyone remember the parking lot on top of the Montgomery Ward's building at 7-Corners? My dad would pull into the parking lot and drive up this ramp and there we were, on top of the building.
I thought that was about the coolest thing in the world.
they were shoveling debris in a truck,all just kids in our 20's.
drug store vibrate. Then I had many customers buying camera film to take pictures, at the end of the day all our film was sold out. It is sad that people lost their lives because the project was rushed.
It didn't collapse in 1974. It collapsed on Mar 2, 1973.
It was not the first building constructed. It was actually building 3. The first set of 2 buildings was completed and building 1 was already occupied with building 2 about to be occupied. (This I know because I was dating a girl who lived in building 1 and I'd visit her for lunch).
It was said that 11 men died. It was really 14. 3 men were in the garage that collapsed. Of the 11, a company called Mayfair Drywall from Rockport MD lost it's entire crew on site that day. They were working on the 5th floor and never heard any warnings from all the workers scrambling to get out.
Someone else said they were stripping the concrete from the top floor. Then top floor was the 23rd and was the one being poured. the 22nd floor was the one being stripped. The labor crew for Robert Miller Concrete Constr. had been on the 20th floor that morning stripping under the 21st floor which they finished just before lunch. It was Friday afternoon just after lunch when they moved to the 21st and began cutting the steel column bands. It was then that they noticed the concrete columns holding up the still uncured 22nd floor had started to expand and the ceiling was sagging. They evacuated. The crane operator (last name Taylor, but no relation to me) noticed the crane was beginning to list to the side and climbed down. As everybody on the top floor ran one way, Mr Taylor and a labored named Butch ran in the other direction. The building then collapsed in the middle, leaving the 2 of them atop the now skinny tower that now had no stairway. They spent close to man hour on that swaying tower before a helicopter from Ft Belvoir picked them off the top.
I also remember half of a stairway surviving intact with my foreman Martin "Shorty" Lawton crawling out from it alive and covered entirely in gray concrete dust from head to toe. It was just weird to look at.
After the head count at our trailers. I wandered over to the FairLanes bowling alley next door to make a phone call to my family up in the Boston area because they were sure to hear it on the news that night. A waitress walked up to me as I was dialing, put a cold beer in my hand, and said, "This is on me".
The rest of the story would take hours to retell, so I'll just leave it that.
I see people referring to Miller and Long Construction Co, but I still remember the name Robert Miller Concrete Constr. Maybe I'm wrong or maybe it was a division of Miller and Long.
The crane operator's name was Joe Taylor. Besides myself and Joe, there was another Taylor on the job. Charlie Taylor was the job's building superintendent for Charles E Smith.
"I lived in Golden Gate apartments from January 1973 until May 1974. I worked at People's Drug Store on the front cash register. On the day of the Skyline accident, I remember hearing a loud boom and saw the window of the
drug store vibrate. Then I had many customers buying camera film to take pictures, at the end of the day all our film was sold out. It is sad that people lost their lives because the project was rushed."
I worked at that People's Drug Store too, 1974 I think. Steve Stacks took over the store and brought me with him from the 7-corners store where he was an assistant. I loved working there.
On a better note, I loved the pony rides and Hot Shoppes and always wondered who lived in the lovely stone home at Bailey's Crossroads.
Does anyone know of a site where it lists all that died in the collapse?

Published 11/29/2019 | Reading Time 1 min 33 sec
WASHINGTON (BlackNews) — The three members of the fast-rising all-Black women musical group The String Queens — Kendall Isadore, Élise Sharp, and Dawn Johnson — have each experienced racism during their musical career. However, they used it as their fuel to serve as an instrument for change and diversity in the field of classical music.
Starting out as soloists in Washington, DC, the group’s violinist Isadore, cellist Sharp, and violist Johnson have each heard a number of racist remarks that really hurt them. Two years ago, the three started playing in big concert halls and since then, they have tried to push for racial diversity, especially in the world of music.
“We’re actually modeling what we believe the musical world should be like,” Sharp told the DCist. “And even [in] the people that work with us on our graphic design and our production in the studio, we try to partner with people who look like us and who have a similar message as us.”
The String Queens
Aside from bridging the gap between different races, they are also introducing a fresh take on classical music as they incorporate mainstream pop in most of their sets. The trio even does mashups people would likely never imagine to hit off but they did.
“The influences we have, from gospel, from jazz, from Broadway, from classical — we’ve sort of fused all of those together at different points,” Isadore said. “I wish there was a formula that we could magically just write down and say, ‘we do these steps when arranging songs.’ At the end of the day, it just comes from our hearts.”
Moreover, all The String Queens members also serve as orchestra directors at various KIPP DC middle schools where they teach young musicians how to play traditional classical music as well as improvisational techniques. In return, they discover new music from their students.
“In terms of selecting repertoire, I think the balance of performing and teaching really helps us out,” Johnson said. “Our students have introduced us to so much music, some of which we didn’t even know was out there.”
Most recently, the trio released their self-titled debut album which featured covers using the arrangements they have been performing live on stage. They are also set to perform as ensemble-in-residence with Washington Performing Arts’ Mars Arts D.C. initiative.

an original shoot’em up. With a hilarious cast of characters, weapons and original story, ‘A & D’ will shoot it’s way
to your favorite game shelf. The cast includes the Lionhearts, a band of good rebels fighting against the tyranny of
a tyrant king. From there the Robin Hoodesque story sharply departs to it’s mission to recapture the Book of Rule
which will bring balance back to the kingdom. All the while, Lionheart "Wanted" posters keep going up in value as
you become more of a thorn in the king’s side.
The characters are so comical, this game could be called Funny & Dangerous even though we like it named as is.
Our heroes include a criminal mastermind named Roman, and his sidekicks which include a crazy old blind man, a mole
and a robot. If you ever saw the movie Snatch, then you’ll love the smacky talk of the Lionhearts which sounds like
a bout of English, Irish and Scot.
New and original guns include the Shark Gun which launches a ‘land shark’ which proceeds out to chomp your enemies
into bite size snacks. Then there is the Black Hole Bomb which dishes out a miniature black hole and a whole lot of
whoop ass on the battlefield and the Topsy Turvey bomb that turns your enemies on their head. The game also is loaded with 17 weapons
including your normal weapon armory including rocket launcher, machine gun, sniper rifle, and a mortar gun that looks like an
old fashioned tuba musket affectionately named "Old Bessy" by its designer.
The game includes 21 action packed missions and
covers landscapes from frozen tundras, mountain vistas, fantasy villages to quasi industrial wastelands. We also can not forget
to mention the awesome jet pack that your given on certain levels which was not only fun to use but unique in its look and physics.
We give this game a strong "BUY" recommendation.

Chinese students tend to work hard and eagerly take in knowledge provided by teachers and professors. International companies in China applaud young Chinese talents for their diligence, but sometimes criticize their lack of creative thinking. Ronald van de Cappelle, Chief Design at the College of Applied Art & Design (Shanghai Polytechnic University (SPU)), deals with this issue on a daily basis. “One of my tasks is 'to bring creativity to an international level.'” In this blog, Ronald discusses ‘creating creativity’.
“My first visit to China was in 2013. I was invited to teach a workshop Graphic Design at the Shanghai Business School. Graphic Design at a business school? I also wondered how this creative workshop would fit into a business school curriculum.
Teaching in China is a great pleasure. However, there are significant differences a teacher has to deal with, as compared to the situation in Europe. In many Chinese classrooms, teaching in general is one-way traffic: teachers talk and explain, and students listen. This is a very big difference with teaching in the Netherlands. When teaching in Dutch classrooms, one often nearly has to tame the students after asking a question and they will often also challenge the teacher even if s/he has not asked any questions at all… In China, on the contrary, when a teacher asks a question, the students will all remain silent and may even look away so as to avoid being addressed directly. However, if you sit with a single student or with a small group of students, they will most certainly speak their mind. They do this freely, always with respect.
Not only do I find Chinese students very well-behaved, they are extremely quick learners. While in the Netherlands students, after having received an assignment to build a product, tens to sink away into 'deep thinking', Chinese students become incredibly result-driven and jump into action. The staggering result may be that they come with a prototype within 45 minutes. This is very fast, and maybe a little too fast. Have they done any research on the topic first at all? In order to achieve some more thinking and slow down my students in their getting-things-done mentality, I urge them to spend time on research of the topic first in small teams and to present their results to the class. Only then can they properly analyse and ideate. And from there to go and create.
Creativity to an international level
As Chief Design at the College of Applied Art & Design, one of my tasks is 'to bring creativity to an international level'. As such, the department of Design Engineering at the Delft University of Technology and the Eindhoven Design Academy, both in The Netherlands, are important models for me.
Although it isn’t the SPU’s ambition to turn classrooms into experimental laboratories, my classroom is a safe haven for trial and error. Especially in stimulating creativity you should experiment and leave the beaten track in search for new solutions. This should be a part of, I might say, every kind of education.
‘How to learn new skills’
Education should not only be about learning skills that are required in today’s workplace. Education should concentrate more on 'how to learn new skills' for emerging industries. In a speech I gave at the Global Partner Meeting September 2017, I pointed out that universities should not be over-confident about their status. Internet and artificial intelligence makes knowledge available to everybody with a smart-device and an internet connection. How to get access, how to understand and how to implement this knowledge is the new skill for jobs that don’t exist yet.
It is inevitable that old-school teaching methods must change into new-school teaching methods. In China as well as in the rest of the world. This will not be an easy thing to do in China since the current schooling system is deeply rooted but it has shown in many ways that it can transform remarkably swiftly. In twenty years’ time, China has been able to rise to the top leading economies in the world. Admittedly, it has done so by copying a lot. But now that everything has been copied that can be copied, I don't think the pace of change will suddenly come to a halt.
Creativity appears in new ways
In new internet-related industries like online shopping (Alibaba) and social media apps, WeChat may serve as an astonishing example of a total connection of services from financial transactions to simply calling a taxi. It is clear that creativity appears in new ways. And this may not be ways that are very aesthetic to Western eyes but nevertheless incredibly convenient, pragmatic and efficient.
Today, when Chinese business is entering territory that has never been explored before, there are no old masters to lead the way. We now witness the unleashing of young Chinese entrepreneurs creating new opportunities. And thus creating new realities!
Universities in China and in the west, and those who consider themselves the developed world, should not be over-confident about their status. New realities are in the making. The big question is: are you one of the creators?”

Pallone Leads Letter Urging Administration to Abandon Drilling Plans in Atlantic Ocean
Letter to Secretary Jewell Signed by 34 Members Representing 13 States
WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (NJ-06) yesterday led a letter to Department of the Interior (DOI) Secretary Sally Jewell urging the agency to protect the Atlantic Ocean from exploitation by removing all Atlantic planning areas from the next iteration of the 2017-2022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program. The next iteration of the plan is expected to be released in the coming weeks.
“As the Deepwater Horizon spill clearly showed, oil spills do not respect state borders. A spill anywhere in the Atlantic would cause environmental damage all along the coast,” the lawmakers wrote in the letter. “We simply cannot risk the health and vitality of our coastal communities for the sake of expanding oil and gas development.”
In the letter, the lawmakers noted that coastal communities along the Atlantic coast rely on a clean, safe and ecologically vibrant environment to support their economies, where almost 1.4 million jobs are connected to fishing, tourism and recreation, leading to over $95 billion in gross domestic product. According to 2010 census data, 39 percent of the U.S. population is concentrated in counties directly on the shoreline.
“It is extremely inspiring to have strong and bipartisan opposition by members of Congress to drilling in the Atlantic Ocean. Secretary Jewell should heed their call to protect this essential marine ecosystem upon which coastal economies and millions of jobs depend. Advancing policies to reduce the use of fossil fuel while at the same time promoting expansion of oil and gas drilling is hypocritical and puts the region at grave risk,” said Cindy Zipf, executive director of Clean Ocean Action.
Pallone has repeatedly expressed his opposition to offshore drilling and has decried the Administration’s most recent plan to open up the Atlantic Ocean to oil drilling. Last year, he re-introduced the Clean Ocean and Safe Tourism (COAST) Anti-Drilling Act which would permanently ban oil and gas exploration, development, or production in the Atlantic Ocean.
The Obama Administration has previously proposed opening the Atlantic to oil and gas exploration in 2010, but Pallone was ultimately successful in convincing the Administration to abandon those plans.
Full text of the letter follows and can also be found here:
February 11, 2016
Honorable Sally Jewell
United States Department of the Interior
1849 C St. NW
Washington, DC 20240
Dear Secretary Jewell,
We write today regarding the 2017-2022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Leasing Program. In January 2015, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management released the Draft Proposed Program for the 2017-2022 Five-Year Program. The Draft Proposed Program proposes opening areas in the Mid and South-Atlantic planning areas for oil and gas development, spanning from Virginia to Georgia. As your Department prepares to release the Proposed Five-Year Program, we respectfully request that you remove the Atlantic planning areas from inclusion in the program.
In 2010, the Department of the Interior released a proposed 2012-2017 Five-Year Program that would have opened a broad swath of the Atlantic coast from Delaware to Florida for oil and gas development. Tragically, just weeks after this proposal was released an explosion occurred on the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig and the ensuing oil spill created a massive environmental disaster impacting the entire Gulf of Mexico region. In the aftermath of this disaster, Congress created the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling. Unfortunately, Congress has failed to enact virtually every reform recommended in the commission’s final report.
Coastal communities along the Atlantic coast are all dependent upon a clean, safe and ecologically vibrant environment to support their economies. Opening areas in the Mid and South-Atlantic to oil and gas development will put all of this at risk. In Atlantic coast states, almost 1.4 million jobs are connected to fishing, tourism and recreation, leading to over $95 billion in gross domestic product. According to 2010 census data, 39 percent of the U.S. population is concentrated in counties directly on the shoreline. As the Deepwater Horizon spill clearly showed, oil spills do not respect state borders. A spill anywhere in the Atlantic would cause environmental damage all along the coast. We simply cannot risk the health and vitality of our coastal communities for the sake of expanding oil and gas development.
While we are steadfastly opposed to offshore drilling in the Atlantic Ocean, we are not opposed to harnessing energy from the ocean. But this energy must come from renewable methods such as wind power, and not fossil fuels that will threaten the ecological vitality of the region. The Atlantic Ocean has tremendous untapped potential for development of offshore wind energy production. Your agency has taken positive steps by leasing federal waters for wind energy development in the Atlantic Ocean. We encourage you to focus your agency’s efforts on development of this clean, renewable energy resource that will not have a damaging impact on the health of the Atlantic Ocean and the economies of coastal communities.
As the Department of the Interior finalizes the next iteration of the Five-Year Program for publication, we strongly urge you to remove the Mid- and South-Atlantic Planning Areas from inclusion in the proposal. Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away and the entrepreneur in shape. Entrepreneurs are steadily creating, promoting their brands, and the many other things entrepreneurs do. So, while it is essential to have a good life as a perfect reflection of success, it is also crucial to be healthy. The study of entrepreneurship shows one how to engage in this area. It would also teach the importance of entrepreneurial health. Hence, 10 tips to keep an entrepreneur healthy.
The most common problems people who do a lot of work face are not even work-related. Stress accounts for most entrepreneurial health problems. A healthy entrepreneur who follows certain tips do not make these mistakes; getting less than the minimum amount of sleep, excessive sitting, and a poor diet.
An entrepreneur should also find time to partake in certain activities that boost their mental as well as physical health.
It is important to keep in shape. The bite of the apple in this context is every step or certain tips an entrepreneur takes towards being healthy. These 10 tips would go a long way in keeping entrepreneurs in the right frame of mind for the strenuous journey to success.
1) Improve What You Eat
It’s critical to develop good eating habits. Focusing on junk food or roadside foods is not the best. An entrepreneur must take this tip seriously. You are a product of what you eat; your weight, height, level of energy, etc.
Eating hours also matter, eating at an odd time like midnight or 1 pm affects your weight. This is also serious because an entrepreneur needs to always be on the move. If you eat properly, you move faster.
2) Have A sleep Schedule
The human body needs at least 8 hours of sleep each day. While some entrepreneurs are nightcrawlers others happen to be early birds. Whatever kind of human you are, structure your work pattern in a way that lets you sleep at a certain time and wake up at another.
For example, if you regularly sleep at 8 pm and wake up by 4 am to continue your work, at 8 pm every day your body would be expecting to rest and then continue by 4 am. The body respects the sleeping pattern the entrepreneur has decided to create. Therefore, when you pick a sleeping pattern, stick to it.
3) Take A Break and Move Around
The law of entropy (as it applies to entrepreneurs) advises businesspersons to draw energy from their surroundings/environment. Entrepreneurs often work for long hours, while sitting at their desks. It is important that you take a break to stretch parts of your body. One needs to breathe a different kind of air thereby refreshing their minds to generate new ideas. Taking a walk literally, once in a while from work is important.
4) Do light exercises
I know you were probably wondering when we would get to this part. Exercises directly reflect a whole section of keeping in shape. Humans need to exercise. Entrepreneurs can walk or do light jogs around the house. If possible it would go a long way for one to own a treadmill or any small exercise equipment for working out which can also inspire creativity. Exercise helps in boosting metabolism. The benefits are many and you stand a lot to gain by working out.
5) Get A Massage
This is closely related to exercising in terms of physical health. Getting a massage helps entrepreneurs relax and feel good. After weeks of executing deals, steady interaction with executives, or even developing a new product, it is important you find time to relax. One of the best ways to relax is to get a massage, go to a spa if necessary. Though a visit to a spa should not break the bank, money well spent isn’t a waste of funds. But if you can access such activities at home, then why not?
In-between jobs every day try to make out time to communicate with you. Communication with people matters a lot and so does touching base with yourself. Meditation can be done in 30 minutes or an hour. Depending on the amount of time allocated to it, that is based on interest.
Play a piece of calming music, sit in a comfortable position and reflect. Think of what you have done, where you are, and where you are headed. It is good to connect with your inner strength. Meditating is also an important step to take for your mental health which is also important. So talk to yourself, it works.
7) Take Weekend Vacations
Reserving the weekend for yourself is not too much to ask.
Resting your mind and most importantly having fun isn’t outdated. All work and no play make Jackline/Jack a dull entrepreneur. It may not be every weekend. It is important to spend time away from work. So make out time with your family and friends to have fun.
8) Take A Walk and Communicate With People
We already stated the importance of taking a break and moving around. We also talked about communicating with you. It is also good to take a walk and communicate with business partners, friends, and even family members. Some of the greatest ideas and innovations were born out of regular conversations. It’s about communicating with people who have a lot to bring to contribute intellectually. People that make you better with every talk. So take a walk and socialize with them.
9) Drink More Water
“Water, e no get enemy” according to popular Nigerian Legend, Fela Anikulapko Kuti. It is often said that drinking water makes you mind your business because you would be too busy using the bathroom. Well, drinking enough water also keeps you healthy in many ways. Excreting much of the waste in the body is one of the benefits of drinking water. Water also keeps you hydrated.
Hydration is required for almost every task the body carries out. So embrace this and drink more water.
10) Be More Sociable
This isn’t even related to taking a walk or getting ideas from talking to business partners. This is simply serving a compliment to a young lady on the other side of the road or telling the gentleman in a “Black Tuxedo” how amazing he looks this morning. These little things go a long way in making sure people have a splendid day. Being happy is underrated because a happy man is a healthy man. So give more compliments and smile and respond appropriately when you receive one.
Entrepreneurs need to key into a healthy lifestyle. It is great to have money and all kinds of success but being healthy is something that your money often can’t buy. It is said that “health is wealth”. So stay in shape.
These 10 tips exist to keep an entrepreneur healthy. Being healthy is the first step to success.

I'm sure you've heard it before: "You haven't lived until you've been fired."
Those words, uttered once by a former boss I really liked, rang in my ears on the Tuesday last spring when I was issued my recession-related pink slip. Of course, so did a lot of other things—fear, shame, the vertigo that comes with knowing your last paycheck is en route—and your future suddenly on a trajectory far less certain.
Like the women below, I bounced back with a vengeance, but the experience still shook me to the bottom of my soul. As did front-page photos, which appeared around the same time, of young bankers in suits and heels carting cardboard boxes from now-empty offices. The fact is, it's still a wild, wild economy out there. And it's easy to let your mind wander and wonder if you might be unceremoniously escorted from your workplace. The good news is that even if the worst comes to pass (or already has), there's hope.
The women here are proof positive that getting fired wasn't the most awful thing that could have happened. In fact, it was for the best. Being down and out led them to get in touch with what really mattered to them—and turn it into the sort of career that makes a person happy to get out of bed.
The Mother of Invention
Jamie Rubin, 30, returned to her job as a TV producer last December when her daughter was three months old. After three weeks back, her entire department was let go.
"I was caught by surprise. I had no idea what to do," she says. She realized searching for a new job with an infant at home would be tough, but she also had a mortgage to pay. In her case, solving an even more immediate problem—what to wear while breast-feeding—led her to her next step.
Rubin was given outplacement counseling by her company and landed in the hands of a good career counselor. At her counselor's behest, she enrolled in a class on becoming an entrepreneur. During her maternity leave, Rubin had had an inkling of an idea: fashionable T-shirts for mothers who were breast-feeding.
"A lot of the apparel out there was really functional," she says. "The shirts had a line that cut right across the chest that would flip up, but when you're done, you're walking around with a line across your chest. It's like, what's up with that girl's shirt?"
Other than a life-long interest in shopping, she had no background in fashion, but she knew what she liked—a cute shirt that didn't scream "Hi, I'm nursing!" even to casual passersby.
She found a pattern maker on Craigslist and a website designer through LinkedIn. Then she took her samples to the Pump Station, a boutique in L.A. that also teaches about breast-feeding, which had been her go-to spot while pregnant. When the store offered to private-label the collection, it gave Rubin the validation she needed, and she decided to strike out on her own. Seemingly overnight, Milkstars was born.
But the path wasn't always smooth.
"There was a steep learning curve," she admits. "There were many times where I was like, `This is too hard—I'm going to quit.'" When her husband was laid off from his job in July, the pressure increased. "Outside of severance pay, this was our livelihood," she says.
But Rubin persisted, bolstered by feedback from women who said there's nothing else like this out there. A year later, she had launched a line sold nationwide.
"There are a lot of people like me who had an idea and just hired people to help them," she says. "I've never felt so on my game."
The Bag Lady
Lori Chalmers, 30, was also born creative. She chose to become a graphic designer because it was an art form that would allow her to collect a paycheck.
She had always worked freelance, but then all of a sudden, in mid-2007, all the jobs dried up.
"It was just before Christmas when my last contract laid me off with a day's notice," says Chalmers. "I was stuck. As a freelancer you don't get severance packages. You don't get anything. That day I sat there and thought, What can I do to make money quickly?"
She'd started designing handbags in college as a hobby, drafting her own patterns and piecing together bags out of leather skirts and jackets she bought at Goodwill, but she'd never thought it was something she could do for profit. Then someone told her about Etsy, which had recently launched.
She set up a shop and started a free blog on eblogger through Google.
"I didn't have money for a website," she laughs. "I didn't have any money."
What she did have was a passion for fashion and a love of accessories. She named the line ChaCha for a childhood nickname based on her last name.
Soon she started seeing girls carrying her bags around her native Toronto. That was followed by an invitation to do an event at MuchMusic, the Canadian equivalent of the MTV Music Awards, where Fergie's stylist fell in love with her stuff.
Today she has a proper website, ChaChalifestyle.com, not to mention a steady celebrity clientele. Even Lady Gaga has been spotted sporting her bags. But the arc of her story also tends to intrigue her audience.
"People are always interested to hear that it's just me, and I grew a business," she says.
The Overnight Webpreneur
Rebecca Orlov got the boot from her job as a producer at an advertising agency "14 days into 2009," she says. But after 10 years in the industry, her first reaction was actually relief.
"It made me realize how unhappy I'd been in advertising," she says, even though it took a pink slip to help her come to the realization.
Her passion had always been for home and design. In fact, she had 300 "inspiring" websites bookmarked in her browser the day she was let go. The year before, she had also started a small shelter blog called Loving.living.small, devoted to ideas to maximize a small living space. She had also started doing the occasional post for Apartmenttherapy.com, in L.A., where she lived.
"Interestingly, through these online outlets, I was connecting and e-meeting with new people who shared the same love of home and design," says Orlov. After meeting one of these people in April, at an interior design panel event, Orlov had a eureka moment.
"We were both surprised at the group's lack of understanding of what a blog was," she says. "I thought let's do our own panel and start something to help and encourage creative people to join the blogging community." Over lunch they hatched Blog Out Loud, a resource for anyone looking to gather information and inspiration to start a blog of her own.
Four weeks later, they held their first free offline event—a panel of successful bloggers sharing their stories and experiences with would-be newbies. Soon the events proliferated, and in the process Orlov made the transition.
"These collective experiences, paired with my decade-long career in advertising and project management inspired my shift to digital consulting and the launch of my brand-new company, Sweetline Agency, an online brand project management company," she says proudly.
Today she works with lifestyle companies and brands to help shape their online voice and social-media strategy.
While 2009 had been a bit of an uphill climb financially, it had also been, says Orlov, "the most inspiring year of my life."
The Forward-Thinking Historian
Like newly minted mompreneur Jamie Rubin, Jennifer Campbell worked in TV—public television. She'd been a writer at a station for seven years, handling projects ranging from developing websites for young viewers to interviewing and writing profiles of prominent public figures. But slowly the station's funds were ebbing, and along with them, so did Campbell's job responsibilities.
"They gradually lost funding and resources were cut. The website was dwindling down to nothing, and I was editing PowerPoint slides," she says ruefully, "shifting bullet points around. I sort of saw the writing on the wall."
Still, she says, the day she actually lost her job "was a pretty big shock—the tears, the scene, being walked to HR."
But there were things Campbell wouldn't miss—her two-hour commute for one. Coincidentally, she recalls, a friend of hers had been killed by a drunken driver a few days before she was dismissed. Through the haze of her firing, a bitterly ironic thought bubbled up.
"Well, at least I won't be late for Michelle's funeral." After attending her friend's wake, Campbell had a revelation.
"At the funeral, I heard people talking about Michelle's life and her two kids and I thought, First of all, at least I'm alive, and second of all, is this really what it's all about? Am I really living the life I want to?"
She did a lot of soul-searching and an equal amount of nail-biting before getting an idea that would use her writing skills—the same ones she'd developed during years of interviewing public figures on the job—in a way that would help her carve out a whole new career.
"Doing the interviews, I was always looking for the story behind the story," she says. In fact, a while back, she'd even begun interviewing people closer to home.
"I got interested in family history when my father died, and I realized I knew virtually nothing about his younger years," says Campbell. So she brought her tape recorder home in the hopes of preserving her mother's stories.
"She loved talking about her heritage," she says. And it turns out, Campbell had had the urge in the nick of time. After about four sessions, her mother began showing signs of dementia.
"After just a few interviews," says Campbell, "[My mother] clammed up. The vault was closed."
But that's when, for her, a lightbulb went on.
"I thought, maybe if I feel this lousy about losing all of these family stories, I could help other people who do too?"
She googled and discovered an association of personal historians 500 people strong, doing just what she wanted to—recording people's personal histories. With the baby-boomer generation aging, it was, Campbell soon surmised, a rare thing in a down economy: a growing industry. She set to work, and soon clients were coming out of the woodwork.
"It's really cool asking about people's lives," she says, "the details that no one has ever asked them before. Our elders have been witness to so many changes. Tragedies like the Holocaust and wonderful inventions. They always mention the polio vaccine. It totally revolutionized everything."
Now her favorite part of her new self-created vocation is not only being a witness to history but preserving family memories for posterity.
In fact, a year later, Campbell runs Heritage Memoirs, binding salvaged memories into customized books and recording them on DVDs.
"It's the best thing that ever happened to me," she says. "I gave up a small gray cubicle across from the staff kitchen and beside the freight elevator, a job that was increasingly becoming meaningless to me, a two-hour commute and the stifling feeling that I was selling my soul."
Put it that way and losing a job sounds more like finding a blessing—one Campbell is convinced will have a long shelf life.
"Years from now, a great-grandson will be able to pull down a book from a shelf," she says. "And my work will be in there."

'Masterpiece' for the masses
Under Rebecca Eaton, dramas like 'Downton Abbey' attract more, and younger, viewers.
Will Lady Mary and her soul mate, Matthew, really wed? Will beloved manservant Mr. Bates escape the hangman's noose? Will Mrs. O'Brien's shocking secret be revealed?
The lives of people, both high- and low-born, on a rural English estate nearly a century ago wouldn't seem a likely subject for a hit television series. But "Downton Abbey," whose second season ended in late February, has broken out of the highbrow world of public television and into wider public consciousness, winning unheard-of ratings, numerous awards (six Emmys, including best miniseries), and adoration from fans and critics – all while attracting a new, younger audience that eagerly shares the series on social media like Twitter and Facebook.
"Downton" may have also removed the last layer of dust from "Masterpiece," the more than four-decades-old Sunday night PBS staple where "Downton" appears. "Masterpiece," once defined by the image of avuncular Alistair Cooke discoursing on the fine points of English literature from a wingback chair, has become a fully 21st-century franchise.
Yet longtime viewers are finding nothing amiss. When a "Masterpiece" series clicks, as "Downton" has, audiences both new and old are rewarded with great stories well told.
What else is in store this season
"Downton Abbey" has been "a gift, a blessing, a windfall," says Rebecca Eaton, executive producer of "Masterpiece" for the past 27 years. "It has pulled in a great number of new viewers or lapsed viewers." Now that "we have them back in the tent," she says, the aim is to keep them there.
The 2012 schedule is chock-full of efforts to do just that. April 1 sees a new adaptation of Charles Dickens's "Great Expectations," starring American actress Gillian Anderson ("The X-Files"), David Suchet ("Poirot"), and Ray Winstone ("Hugo," "Cold Mountain"). April 15 offers more Dickens (2012 is the 200th anniversary of his birth) with "The Mystery of Edwin Drood."
That's followed by a run of "Masterpiece" mysteries beginning with the second season of "Sherlock," featuring rising star Benedict Cumberbatch as the iconic detective, reimagined as though at work today, aided by an Afghan war veteran named Dr. Watson. It's followed in July by "Wallander," featuring a tightly wound Swedish detective (Kenneth Branagh) obsessed with solving crimes.
Later in the summer comes "Endeavour," a prequel imagining how popular "Masterpiece" detective Inspector Morse (played by the late John Thaw from 1988 to 2001) first honed his deductive powers as a rookie constable in 1965.
While the cases these "Masterpiece" detectives investigate are intriguing, what sets these men apart are their quirks and inner struggles, Ms. Eaton says. "They are loners; they are all soulful characters," she says, "complicated people with dark sides, obsessions. They're bright. Some of them have tremendous compassion: Wallander can't have a personal life because he's so drawn to the lives of his victims."
Although all the "Masterpiece" series are produced in Britain ("I'm turned east [to England] rather than west to Hollywood," Eaton says) it's Eaton who chooses them for American audiences. She can be a differencemaker since PBS often provides the last crucial piece of funding to give a project the green light.
Her choice of "Downton Abbey" has been so on the money that last year Time magazine named her one of the most influential people of 2011.
"I have to say I thought it was a joke when I first heard about it," Eaton says in an interview in her tiny, windowless office decorated with photos of "Masterpiece" stars and productions at WGBH headquarters in Boston. "[But] I'm happy to represent 'Masterpiece' and all the hundreds of people both here at WGBH and in England who make these programs."
Says Andrew Davies, who has written several screenplays for "Masterpiece" (including "Pride and Prejudice"), in a recent interview in Vanity Fair: "Rebecca is the pre-eminent go-to partner when you are setting up a classy drama production.... She brings her whole sensibility to a project, and her notes come from the heart as well as from the head."
A risky promotion at WGBH
An American who grew up in southern California, Eaton went to England to work at the BBC while still an English literature major at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. "I just loved it," she recalls. "I thought, 'I belong here' " – meaning in England in general, not just at the BBC.
She came back to the United States and worked in public broadcasting in a variety of jobs until 1985, when the unexpected death of her predecessor opened up the position of executive producer of "Masterpiece." "I was very green. Henry Becton [then president of WGBH], who gave me this job, took a real flyer on me," she says.
In 2008 Eaton oversaw the rebranding of "Masterpiece Theatre," dropping the stuffy "Theatre" from the title and splitting the franchise into separate "Classics," "Mystery!" and "Contemporary" series with fresh new hosts.
She follows the Girl Scout advice: Make new friends, but keep the old. "I knew that the backbone of 'Masterpiece' was its loyal viewers, the people who watch week in, week out no matter what we do," she says. "They're just true blue. And they also contribute to their local [PBS] stations. And I thought, 'First do no harm: First, do not drive those people away.' "
But "Downton" has gone beyond this core audience. The second season's average viewership of 5.4 million, up 25 percent from that of the first season, represents the highest rating for any PBS series since Ken Burns's "National Parks" in 2009 – and the highest viewership for "Masterpiece" since "The Buccaneers" in 1995.
But even those numbers don't tell the whole "Downton" story, which includes more than 9 million streams of "Downton" episodes online and 20,000 to 30,000 tweets shared on Twitter by viewers during each live broadcast. Nor do they show its increasingly younger audience: In Season 2, the number of female viewers ages 18 to 34 was up 251 percent from Season 1; male viewers 18 to 34 (not a traditional "Masterpiece" demographic) were up 111 percent. Teenage viewership grew 88 percent.
"Masterpiece" audiences today are finding productions that are "less talky, [with] more innovative camerawork," says Nancy West, an English professor at the University of Missouri and coauthor of a scholarly journal article on "Masterpiece." These newer "Masterpiece" series are "a little less faithful to the original text, willing to take some risks" – including giving a story a new ending or a new beginning or changing "a character we thought we knew into someone a little different," she says.
In "Downton Abbey," which is an original screenplay, not an adaptation, some critics and viewers have seen modern attitudes or figures of speech entering in, something earlier "Masterpiece" productions might have fastidiously avoided.
"I think there's been this movement to write so that the present [day] becomes more present in the past, so that we can see ourselves more clearly in these situations," Dr. West says.
West has been a "Masterpiece" fan since childhood, when she watched with her mother. Today she hosts "Masterpiece" viewing parties and says she finds that many of her college students are fans, too.
Fans are also having fun with the series online. (Mashups have included a YouTube video of favorite witty, one-liner insults from the dowager countess, played by Emmy-winning Maggie Smith and one that appears to show the "Downton" household watching the Super Bowl.)
Online chats about "Masterpiece," West says, are "just a new way of keeping the story alive. And if it gets people to go back and read those original novels, so much the better."
Besides employing social media, Eaton and her WGBH collaborators have also been innovative fund-raisers. Last year a new Masterpiece Trust brought in $1 million from an appeal to deep-pocketed fans, who gave between $25,000 and $250,000 apiece. Eaton hopes to top that in 2012.
"PBS funding is uncertain because it always is," she says, calling federal funding "a political football." To avoid a backlash from local PBS stations, which are constantly trying to raise funds, the Masterpiece Trust money is split with them. "That model has really caught on," she says.
Eaton would love to tell American stories on "Masterpiece," but she can't match the high quality of programming she gets per dollar spent when teaming with the British.
"If we were going to make American 'Mysteries,' American 'Masterpieces,' which would be wonderful to do ... they would cost 10 times as much as to coproduce with the British," she says. "It's too bad."
Eaton is now looking well into 2013 and beyond. "Downton Abbey" Season 3 will air early next year and include Oscar-winner Shirley MacLaine as a visiting American heiress who, fans anticipate, will be a formidable sparring partner for Ms. Smith's acerbic dowager. Ms. MacLaine has already tweeted about her experiences shooting new episodes.
'You are uplifted ... fed ... energized'
Even while "Masterpiece" is reaching out to a wider audience, Eaton sees it steadfastly occupying a special niche, too. "I love the thought that it's higher quality than a lot of other drama on television," she says. "That it's less exploitative, violent, sensational, sexual. I like that. It's often about relationships and moral struggles and larger ideas."
Eaton has a theory, she says, as to why people sometimes tell her that they've been profoundly moved by a "Masterpiece" series. Watching the best of them, she says, "you are uplifted. You are somehow fed or energized.
"It's just a human reaction to good work, to quality, to artistry, to craftsmanship.... I hope that every now and then we do that."

Lawmakers approve bipartisan bill to enhance
federal penalties for targeting law enforcement
H.R. 5698, the Protect and Serve Act of 2018, today passed the House by a vote of 382-35. This bipartisan bill, which now goes to the Senate for consideration, would create federal penalties for individuals who deliberately target local, state, or federal law enforcement officers with violence.
Upon the House’s passage of this legislation, Congressman Rutherford released the following statement:
“As a career law enforcement officer and former sheriff of Jacksonville, I know what officers go through every day when they put on their uniform and head out to keep our communities safe,” said Rutherford. “This is why I am proud that the Protect and Serve Act was passed by the House today with overwhelming bipartisan support.
“Sadly, we have seen a recent increase in violence against officers, especially in ambush style attacks. This bill creates steep consequences for anyone who targets officers and intentionally tries to do them harm. During National Police Week, as we remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty, the Protect and Serve Act of 2018 shows law enforcement officers across the country that we in Congress support them in the important and dangerous work that they do each day.”
This year alone, 87 officers have been shot in the line of duty, 28 of whom lost their lives. This is 75 percent higher than this time last year. These numbers show a significant, growing trend of armed attacks on law enforcement officers, and todays passage of H.R. 5698 is the first step in preventing more of these tragedies.
The Protect and Serve Act was endorsed by the National Fraternal Order of Police, the National Association of Police Organizations, Major County Sheriffs, Sergeants Benevolent Association, and the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association. Congressman Rutherford’s floor remarks on the bill can be found here.

Although Tommy grew up in a suburb of Boston he was a frequent visitor to New York City from a very young age. Initially this meant seeing the sites like the American Museum of Natural History, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Wall Street, Madison Square Garden, the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum and other landmarks.
But as he grew older and he had friends living in the city it became a more welcome and familiar place, apart from historic landmarks and tourist venues.
In 2011 as the Overnight once again takes place in New York City we revisit the images that document his time here with family and friends.

Lewandowski smiled grimly. He straightened out the officer’s cap on his head. When the hysterical rioting had finally died down after two days of terrible destruction, he decided that he needed to organize his forces. His first action was to get all the women and children out of the city. Even though modern armies accepted women as an integral part of combat forces, Poland was still of the old school, believing in chivalry and the idea that war was a masculine art. So all the members of the fairer sex, all boys under eighteen, and all men who were too old to fight, were shipped to the safety of the fields outside of Warsaw proper.
He next distributed the weapons more aptly. In the fury of those first few nights, the Eastern armory had been taken by the Poles, but weapons went to those who grabbed them first. Some men were sitting on whole piles of machine guns and mortars and ammo. When he was able to carefully assess the situation, Lewandowski insisted that every man in his force was given a weapon.
He knew he would never be able to establish a proper uniform, so he simply demanded that everyone wear a helmet. He found that military gear just seemed to crop up. Men found themselves wearing tunics, blouses, flak jackets, fatigues, jackboots, and everything else. It gave them a ragtag sense of unity
Then he established a chain of command. He had rooted out as many men as he could find who had fought in the war. He had found that he was not the highest ranking former officer. Still, the people looked upon him as their leader, so even the former captains and majors whom he had dug up subordinated themselves to him. He assigned all the former officers appropriately sized forces of rioters. He had given each of these men a single officer’s cap from the precious supply he had found in an old building. Everyone had taken to calling him “general” immediately, though he constantly insisted that they not call him that.
So now he had a fighting force. They were poorly disciplined, and many were not skilled in the arts of war at all. Still, it was a force, and they were Poles, a stalwart and courageous people as a whole. By the time the initial surprise of the riot had lost it’s impetus, Lewandowski had organized the rioters into an army. The Easterners had at first been beaten by the sheer brutal madness, but by the time they had regrouped and prepared for rioting, they were forced to deal with an organized force. So Warsaw was still a killing ground, and it had now broken down into vicious street fighting.
“They’re better disciplined than we are,” Lewandowski said to his colonel, “And if this slugging match goes on for very much longer, they’re going to get the upper hand. I’d say we’ve done all the damage we’re going to do. Now we’re just fighting a holding action. It’s suicide to wait around here for fresh Eastern reinforcements. What do you think, colonel?”
The single colonel left over from the war had done his best to introduce Lewandowski to higher echelon tactical thinking. They had both quickly discovered that the former lieutenant was a natural tactical genius. He reluctantly admitted that he was a good enough leader to be called a general, even if he had no official claim to the title.
“I say we get out of here while we still can. If Igoumensita decides to send a division or two our way, we’re doomed.”
“I say we gradually move west. We’ll drag the remaining Easterners out of their holes, making them think that they’re finally beating us out of the city. But really we’ll be drawing them out in the open where we can deal with them as we wish. Our objective is to reach Germany, a safe Allied country, and then we’ll see what has to be done.”
What Lewandowski meant, really, was that in all likelihood they would reach Germany and disperse. And his use of the word “safe” had been partly sarcastic, because Germany was quite clearly threatened by the East. Odds were very good that Lewandowski’s gang would be apprehended by the Easterners and treated as criminals. The Eastern Bloc was notorious for it’s savage treatment of all criminals, especially revolutionaries.
So they moved out. A sad nostalgic wind blew as they abandoned their homes and trudged out into the countryside. The sound of gunfire off to the east was a constant reminder that there was still a sizeable Eastern contingent to deal with, as well as a huge expanse of Polish land to pass through before reaching the relative sanctuary of Germany.
By centimeters and meters Lewandowski laid down a brilliant fighting retreat. He carefully whittled down the Easterners, and whittled away their morale. He laid down as many traps as he could think of for his adversaries. As the Eastern tanks rolled onto minefields and the troops fell into tiger traps, they began to slowly give up the chase.
A terrifying explosion brought tons of rocks falling down into a mountain pass that the Polish rebels had passed through. This blocked off the Easterners once and for all. There was no longer any hope of catching up with their prey.
And so the Poles crossed the border, and entered the refuge of Germany.

Case Study: 2700 University
At 2700 University Avenue, on the seam between Minneapolis and Saint Paul adjacent to the Westgate
light rail station, a Central Corridor project combines affordable and market-rate housing.
Over the past several years, the rising demand for multi-family housing has led to a rental occupancy rate of nearly 100% and a long wait list. Easy access to the new Green Line light rail has made the area even more attractive to individuals and families, for whom the University of Minnesota, both city centers, and two hospitals would be only a short train ride away.
This new transit-oriented development adds 248 apartments with modern amenities to the Central
Corridor. Twenty percent of those are affordable, and 80% are market-rate units. In addition to
interior community space and fitness rooms, there is a large outdoor pool area with grills, seating, and
pergolas; an entry plaza with a public art installation; and a half-acre internal courtyard that provides
light and air to both residents and neighbors. The ground floor also features 3,000 square feet of
commercial s pace.
The site design–two story town homes with porches and front doors on the public sidewalk on Emerald
Street, and balconies overlooking University Avenue with large plate glass windows on the ground floor—
uses Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED) strategies. These strategies help create more
of a “Main Street” feel, with human-scaled activities that create a sense of place and increased safety.
Bringing this marriage about has been a long complicated haul on the part of several commited partners—Flaherty & Collins Properties, a large Midwest housing developer; Twin Cites LISC; its affiliate the National Equity Fund (NEF); LISC’s co-funder BMO Harris Community Investments; the City of Saint Paul; and the Metro Transit Authority.
2700 University is the last component in Saint Paul’s 10-year effort to transition 14 urban infill acres along the avenue from industrial use to a new neighborhood of attractive residential dwellings and lively commercial space.

Following very successful practice expeditions in Easter Ross at the start of May, our S3 pupils currently undertaking their Bronze award headed back out to the Highland countryside to undertake their assessed expeditions. This time, the expeditions took place in the Cairngorm National Park.
Our first two expedition groups set off from Drumguish walking in a north-easterly direction first towards Uath Lochans then on to picturesque Feshie Bridge. After this, the groups successfully navigated their way through some tricky woodland at Moor of Feshie to reach their campsite at Jack Drake’s Bothy, a pretty little wooden bothy nestled in the woods just to the south of Loch Gamhna. Here, the groups set up camp and cooked their evening meal before heading for a well-earned rest. Although it was quite rainy on Saturday morning, this did not dampen the spirits of the two groups who quickly got themselves organised for their second day of walking. After breakfast and packing up, the groups headed off towards Loch an Eilein then over Cairngorm Club Footbridge before walking around the south side of Loch Morlich ending their route at the Reindeer Centre in Glenmore. The groups completed their walk quickly and encountered no problems during their journey.
Meanwhile, the second two expedition groups set off from the car park at Loch an Eilein, followed their route around the loch then onto the path towards Cairngorm Club Footbridge and Loch Morlich. The groups wild-camped in forest near to the Ski Road. On Day Two, the groups walked through the woodland around Glenmore Lodge, past Lochan Uaine, the Green Lochan, and onto Ryvoan Bothy. After a stop for lunch, the groups completed their expedition by journeying to Dell Lodge on the outskirts of Nethy Bridge.
All groups have now made a presentation about their expedition to their assessor and have successfully passed this section of their award. Well done everyone! To complete the award, the pupils must now complete their other sections – Volunteering, Physical and Skill – and submit their assessor’s reports through their eDofE profile.
As always, many thanks go to all the staff who have supported the group throughout the year and who gave up their time to supervise and assess the expeditions – Mr Foster, Miss Gray, Mrs Hodgson, Miss Massey, Mr Nairn and Miss MacDonald.

Momotaro Jeans 31inch Selvedge Bootcut Jeans Used 桃太郎ジーンズ⑮
¥10,500($79.80) tax included
the last one
Payments will be paid in Japanese yen. The price in the foreign currency is a rough estimate.
Shipping fee is not included. More information.
●Departure label jeans●
Two white lines that imitate Momotaro's banner.
This iconic back paint is Momotaro's representative jeans, both in name and reality.
15.7 oz fabric using Zimbabwe cotton, 6th yarn. 15.7 ounces are classified as so-called heavy ounces. The solid and heavy fabric gives a profound feeling.
Contrary to its profound feeling, Zimbabwe cotton is characterized by its supple softness. At first, it feels stiff because of its profound feeling, but it fits the body flexibly as it gets used to it. Therefore, it feels like one of me.
The fabric dyed to the limit with indigo is the most special in the world. This navy blue greatly enjoys the discoloration from there. Since the contrast between the dark part and the faded part becomes large, you can expect a sharp color fade.
The biggest feature, two lines. The unique ratio of these two is synonymous with MOMOTARO and is a trademark.
Each piece of paint is applied by hand by a craftsman. Water-based rubber paint is used, and the hand-printed ones are then crimped by heat treatment.
Water-based rubber paint gradually blurs over time, rubbing, washing, and aging. This is a "grow with denim" paint that fades as the jeans fade. It does not spoil the look of the jeans as a whole, and is a factor that marks the history of the person.
・This product is second hand, but the gradation of discoloration is wonderful, and you will be able to grow it further by continuing to wear it. The list price is about 24,000 yen, so it's a great deal. In addition, the hem is slightly torn because the inseam is long with a boot cut.

MANY THANKS: As President of the Little Village Community Council, I wish to publicly thank all of our supporters, contributors and volunteers who helped in making our 5th Annual “Back To School” Block Party a “blast” and a huge success.
IN ATTENDANCE: 700 residents with 400 children registered received free back packs filled with school supplies. Everyone enjoyed the free hot dogs, pop and popcorn, while children were thrilled with the petting farm, jumping jack, and a clown who made animal balloons. The biggest hit with the kids were the pony rides. The party began at 10 a.m. and ended at 4 p.m.; all the school supplies and refreshments were exhausted. Due to limited donations it was impossible to give everyone at the party school supplies.
THE LV COMMUNITY Council deeply appreciated the generosity from the following contributors to the block party: Walgreens, Zemsky Store, Midwest Generation, State Rep. Elizabeth Hernandez, DJ Jesse Barraza, Azteca Mall, State Farm Insurance, La Chiquita Supermercados, Polar Ice Co., Cretors Popcorn Co., Little Village Chamber of Commerce, Orions Mind, Latin American Motorcycle Club/Cicero, Farragut Career Academy Jason Sigellak, Judge Rodolfo Garcia, Meyer Steel Drum Inc., State Sen. Tony Munoz, Wal-Mart, El Milagro Tortillas, Lawndale News, Emi & Sons Joyeria, Ambrosio Medrano, Sam’s Club, Leo Burnett, Calli Arch-Tech Inc., Charlie Hernandez, Democratic Committeeman of the Town of Cicero, Violetas Permit & Business License LLC, Cermak Foods, Strategic Storage, Ald. Ricardo Munoz, Cuahutemoc “Temo” Morfin, Federico Valencia Morfin, Francisco Nieves, Supermercados Torres in Cicero and Michael Ramos.
DOWNSIDE: In our Little Village neighborhood we have eight banks: Second Federal & Savings, TCF, Fifth Third-5/3, Popular Community Bank, Metropolitan Bank, Citibank, Chase and two Bank of America. I sent a letter to each bank manager seeking support for our children’s “Back to School” event. Only one bank indicated support, but in the end, not a single bank in Little Village supported our “Back to School” block party.
HOWEVER, TCF did support our 2010 Halloween Party.
A MUSICAL LEGEND: Guitarist “Little Joe”, a four time Grammy Award winner, will be in Chicago with his show “A Man & His Music” Thursday, August 25, 2011 at Joe’s Bar, 940 W. Weed Street. Door opens at 7 p.m., show begins at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. For more information call 666-8960.
PROFESSIONALLY, singer Jose Maria De León Hernández, is known as Little Joe. Jose is a Mexican-American Tejano performer with a rich and colorful musical history. His band is called La Familia and is one of the most popular Tex-Mex bands in the music industry.
LITTLE JOE was born in a one room dirt floor shack in Temple, Texas on a cold and stormy night on October 17, 1940. He was the seventh child of thirteen. Joe learned to play the guitar and in 1955 he played his first paying performance in Cameron, Texas for $5 at a high school Sock Hop. He was excited and realized that picking a guitar beats picking cotton.
HIS CAREER as a guitarist led him to work for Terrero Records in Corpus Christi, Texas in 1958. In 1959, Joe took over his cousin’s band and renamed it the “Little Joe & The Latinaires.” In the 60’s, Joe signed his first record deal with Corona Records in San Antonio, next Valmon Records later Zarape Records in Dallas.
IN 1968, Joe started his own independent record company “Buena Suerte Records” for his Spanish recordings and “Good Luck Records” for his English recordings. Following would be Leona Records with a distribution deal with Freddy Records in Corpus Christ, Texas. It kept Joe independent through the 70’s and early 80’s.
IN 1992, the album 16 de Septiembre earned La Familia the Grammy Award for Best Mexican-American Performance. In 2008, Little Joe once again won a Grammy for Best Tejano Album of the Year for “Before the Next Teardrop Falls”. Other Grammy nominated albums include: 1988’s Timeless, 1993's Que Paso, 1999's Little Joe Y La Familia 2000, and 2003's Celebration of Life.
IN FIFTY YEARS, Little Joe has produced over sixty albums and has been described as the “King of the Brown Sound.” He continues touring the world, trailblazing, looking for new challenges, breaking down cultural and musical barriers and innovating his musical style. Joe always strives to bring people together to make a more peaceful and harmonious world.

UNBELIEVABLE: This is the second weekend in which the fire hydrant between 25th St. & 26th St. and Christiana Ave. has been pouring out water flooding the street continuously for THREE days. Can you imagine how much water has been wasted in three days and at what cost? Just guessing, water running 24 hours a day for three days must be about $100,000!
HYDRANTS, when illegally opened by adults and young people during these hot summer days, wastes thousands of gallons of water, every home in the area loses water pressure and the continued pouring of water damages un-surfaced streets, causing deeper potholes. Residents must understand that illegally opening hydrants endangers the houses in the area in case of a fire. If there is fire, an open hydrant makes it difficult for firemen to fight the fire because of low water pressure.
CITY ORDINACE 11-12-070: ‘No person shall take water from any fire plug, hydrant, valve, faucet, pipe or any other opening connected with the Chicago Waterworks System, nor shall any person open any such fire plug, hydrant, valve or faucet for the purpose of taking water, or for any purpose…’
“ANY PERSON who shall violate any of the provisions of this section shall, for the first offense, be fined not less than $500 nor more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than 20 days or both; and for such subsequent offense shall be fined $1,500 or imprisoned for not to exceed 30 days or both. Community service may be imposed in lieu of, or in addition to, the monetary fines and imprisonment provided by this section”.
I remember hearing Gov. Pat Quinn saying, “We drink whiskey, but we fight for water!”
IRISH/MEXICAN HISTORY: Dr. Michael Hogan will be here in Chicago at the Irish American Heritage Center, 4626 North Knox Ave. on Sunday, September 11, 2011 to discuss his book, The Irish Soldiers of Mexico from 3 p.m.-7 p.m. Donation at the door is $10.
THE PROGRAM includes a screening of the video documentary, St. Patrick's Battalion, with an introduction and post film Q&A with Dr. Hogan. He will discuss, sign and sell his book before and after the film. This multimedia presentation on the San Patricios is about the Irish soldiers that deserted the U.S. Army to fight on the side of Mexico in the Mexican-American War of 1846 to 1848.
THE SAINT Patrick's Battalion [Batallón de San Patricio] led by Capt. John Riley, a unit of more than 500 immigrant soldiers, mostly Irish, deserted the U.S. Army and joined forces with Mexico.
AFTER THE video and discussion, Mexican and Irish food will be available for purchase in the Fifth Province. Mexican and Irish traditional music will also be played for the enjoyment of the visitors and guests. Mexicanos learn about your history and Irish connection. See you there

Grand Forks, ND (WDAY-TV) -- Grand Forks police arrested a man accused of firing a gun in south Grand Forks overnight.

Police say the suspect, Ut Muoi Ngo, fired at least 14 rounds just outside the main entrance of the bar.
Police arrested him a short time later at an apartment.
He's facing charges of reckless endangerment.

Happy Thursday everyone!
When I'm on vacations, I usually have 1 goal: To eat good food. The older I've gotten, the more adventurous I am with food but also a little more selective. You'd be hard pressed to get me to eat anything out of a box these days. But put me in a good restaurant and I'll try anything under the sun. Food is one of the great loves of my life.
Anyways Rob is a burger man and I love a tasty burger too so Umami Burger is one of our favorite destinations. And long before Simply Evani was born, I blogged about our adventures in searching for Umami Burger in SF. So when google maps yet AGAIN led us astray and took us to a place called Umamicatessen, we were initially disappointed. But luckily, Umamicatessen is an Umami Burger and more, also featuring a kosher deli, a special pork menu AND fried to order doughnuts. I'm happy to report that after our meal, we weren't disappointed at all!
So hipster. Like all Umami locations 🙂
Their onion rings are the crowning glory of sides. They are RIDIC.
I roughly have the taste buds of a man so onion stings, cheddar and chunks of bacon are RIGHT up my alley. The Manly burger is after my heart,
Their Dulce De Leche doughnut is SO yummy. Think churro in doughnut form.
Also, Umamicatessen is only a few streets down the the LA Fashion District so ladies, you can lure your man here for a meal and do a little shopping while you're in Downtown LA! More on Santee Alley to come.
I've heard a LOT of good things about Father's Office down in LA too, that's on our list for our next SoCal trip! Any other burger places you suggest? I'd love to have burger/food recommendations from all over the U.S.!

Five minutes with Rachael Grimaldi, Founder of Cardmedic
CardMedic must go down as one of the fastest digital start-ups of all time: it went from concept to launch in just 72 hours and this month has signed its first agreement with Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance Trust.
On maternity leave and visiting family in the US, Rachael got caught the other side of the Atlantic when everything shut down in March 2020. While abroad, she read an article about a COVID-19 patient’s terrifying hospital experience when they couldn’t understand the healthcare workers through their personal protective equipment or PPE. It got her thinking….. As an anaesthetist in the NHS, she was well aware of similar situations in hospitals where she’s worked – patients who were frightened and upset as they couldn’t communicate with hospital staff because of hearing, sight or language difficulties. In most circumstances she says there is little time to call an interpreter and they use an ad hoc mixture of family members and staff to act as translators and interpreters or, if desperate, Google translate. Unable to be with patients during the pandemic, Rachael desperately wanted to do something to help…..
CardMedic is one of those simple but brilliant ideas: a free web and mobile app for healthcare staff to help breakdown communication barriers with patients at point of care – whether it is visual, hearing or cognitive impairment, a language barrier, or PPE. CardMedic replicates conversations around common healthcare topics with simple questions and explanations to guide clinical interaction. “The app is simple and easy to use”, says Rachael, “and has been developed by clinical experts across the UK including speech and language therapists, learning disability nurses, midwives, critical care nurses, radiographers, and doctors to make sure that the content is spot on.”
Rachael promoted the CardMedic app on Twitter and within the first three weeks had 8000 users in 50 countries. The feedback they got was incredible and they now have 50,000 users in 120 countries and over 16,000 app downloads in under a year.
It works like this. There is an A to Z list of healthcare topics that replicate common conversations between staff and patients by using a series of simple online “flashcards” with “yes” or “no” answers. The cards cover topics from breathing and COVID19 symptoms to end of life care and having an emergency Caesarian section. You simply select a topic and chose what language you want to use. The content can be changed to an easy read mode with pictures and sign language videos for the hard of hearing. At the moment they have 11 language options but are aiming for 30. “If the conversations go off-piste”, says Rachael, “there’s an integrated translation tool. You can instantly switch the content to sign language with subtitles for deaf users too and it has an additional read aloud option for those with visual impairment or literacy issues.” The app works on phones, tablets and laptops, making it a flexi bedside tool. “The aim”, says Rachael, “is to make communication in healthcare more accessible to ease patients fears, improve patient safety, quality of care, and reduce health inequalities across the globe.”
CardMedic is supported by NICE, the National Institute for Health Care and Excellence, Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust. “We have also received two Innovate UK grants,” says Rachael, “ including the incredibly competitive COVID-19 business-led de-minimis grant – and further angel investment. And we will be looking to fundraise a seed round later in the year.”
The challenge now is how to monetise the idea. There is obviously a need and Rachael has calculated that the NHS has an approximately £5 billion gap in service provision for interpreters and signers, which falls a long way short of the last estimated spend of £23m. CardMedic has developed a subscription model where there’s a basic free service or “CardMedic Lite” for emergency situations, a “CardMedic Health” where they charge an annual fee for healthcare settings – NHS Trusts, hospitals, GP surgeries pharmacies, dentists, care homes and more – and then a “CardMedic Health+” version which has customisable content, integration with health records and advanced reporting. The service remains free for staff, public and patients, with the licence paid for at the healthcare level.
The associated CardMedic Foundation will ensure the app is free for those in refugee camps and disaster zones, as well as providing grants for healthcare entrepreneurs working in these situations, or those running training programs to improve communication, patient safety and human factors.
Rachael and the team are really proud to sign an agreement this month to work with their first pre-hospital beacon site, Kent Surrey Sussex Air Ambulance Trust.
Rachael is a modern-day superwoman. She works as an anaesthetist, has three children under the age of five, and is CEO of a startup. She says it is all possible because of her amazing team. Her husband, Tim Grimaldi, for starters who is COO, his brother, Alex Grimaldi who is CFO, Dave Nurse, CTO, and Chairman, Jim Gabriel. They also have a dynamic group of about 20 translators, speech and language therapists and interpreters who are working voluntarily to get the idea off the ground.
The company ‘graduated’ from digital transformation catalyst, The Hill, and now has a virtual office in the Oxford Centre for Innovation but hopes to set up office soon. We wish CardMedic the very best of luck. What a great enterprise to have under our roof!

In the past week or two, an article entitled How Do You Change Someone’s Mind on Abortion? Tell Them You Had One has been making the rounds. The title is slightly misleading; the bulk of the article focuses on gay rights activism, specifically, the connection between personally knowing an LGBT person and increased support for same-sex marriage. But the article touches on abortion supporters’ attempt to stretch that reasoning to their own cause (emphasis mine):
Abortion is typically considered a moral concern, about the bounds of life, or a legal one, about the nature of rights and liberties. [Planned Parenthood marketer Dave] Fleischer hypothesized it could be understood instead as a matter of personal identity, and that resistance to abortion really is stigma towards the women who have—or could have—them. “My hunch is,” he says, “talking about real lived experience is extraordinarily helpful in developing empathy and support.”
If so, perhaps American society had just never been exposed to the sustained organic contact that Allport argued 60 years ago could begin to dismantle a deeply held prejudice. After all, whites with retrograde views on race find themselves working on the same factory floor as blacks; straight people learn a beloved cousin is a lesbian. But how often does anyone, particularly among those who consider themselves pro-life, learn that a friend or relative or co-worker has had an abortion?
The validity of that hypothesis is never examined. Perhaps that’s because, as one of Fleischer’s door-to-door canvassers puts it in the concluding line of the piece, it’s easy “to talk to strangers, because you don’t care what they really think.”
The irony here hits mind-exploding levels. “Those anti-choice strangers must think the way they do because they’ve never met someone who’s had an abortion and therefore don’t understand how women who have abortions really think and feel. At least, that’s our best guess; we haven’t actually asked the antis about their thoughts or feelings. But we totally understand how they don’t understand us.”
There’s a lot that could be said in response. Various veteran pro-life leaders have noted that this is just the latest in a long line of I-had-an-abortion-style “stigma-busting” campaigns that invariably fizzle out, that this is basically just a cheap copycat of Silent No More, etc. They’re right, and there’s no point in echoing them. So for this blog, I’d just like to give Mr. Fleischer a friendly tip.
I know pro-choicers despise slavery comparisons, but what I’m about to say is not comparing the moral wrongness of abortion to the moral wrongness of slavery, so hear me out. The debate about abortion has something in common with the debate about slavery: it pits family members, friends, and neighbors against each other. Some anti-slavery campaigners came from slaveholding families. (A semi-fictionalized exploration of this phenomenon can be found in the fantastic novel The Invention of Wings.) Things got messy. Things got emotional. Things most definitely got personal. But those complications did not deter abolitionists. Even if they wanted to support their slaveholding loved ones, they could not, because they saw the slaves.
And so it is with us: we see the preborn children. That is what we think and that is how we feel. We don’t hate you. We don’t see you as “less than” or consider having an abortion to be a “personal identity” that we reject. We don’t want to be in the conflict we’re in, but we are.
And if you ask me, a campaign that fails to even recognize the nature of this conflict is pretty much doomed from the start. The same-sex marriage model just doesn’t work here.

Amit Varma is a writer based in Mumbai. He worked in journalism for over a decade, and won the Bastiat Prize for Journalism in 2007. His bestselling novel, My Friend Sancho, was published in 2009. He is best known for his blog, India Uncut. His current project is a non-fiction book about the lack of personal and economic freedoms in post-Independence India.
I was 17 when I first heard Chris Cornell sing, and I still remember the shock of that moment. The song was Hunger Strike, by a band called Temple of the Dog, and the other vocalist on that song was Eddie Vedder. Cornell and Vedder, with Soundgarden and Pearl Jam respectively, would go on to become the iconic vocalists of their age. Unlike their grunge peers, Kurt Cobain and Layne Staley, they didn’t die young, and actually built a strong body of work.
Wait, strike that: Cornell died last week at the age of 52, and now that I too am on the wrong side of 40, it feels like it was way too young. This column is not a nostalgic musing of a middle-aged man, though. Instead, it’s sparked by something Cornell’s wife Vicky said after he died. He was not the type to commit suicide, she said, and his death was probably caused by an anti-anxiety medicine he was taking called Ativan. The side-effects of Ativan include “paranoid or suicidal thoughts, slurred speech and impaired judgment.” When Vicky spoke to Chris over the phone after his last concert, she said, his speech was slurred.
That mildly tweaking the chemical balance of the brain could turn a person suicidal is not surprising: anti-depressants are so popular because we know you can turn the switch the other way. Indeed, it drives home the fact that what we call our ‘personality’ is actually deeply contingent. It arises from the state of the brain. You damage a tiny part of the brain, or tweak its chemical or hormonal balance, and voila, you have a different person.
Back in the day, the brain wasn’t considered as important as it should be. Bodies supposedly had souls inside them, and people spoke of minds as if they were independent of the brain. We now know that the former is bunkum, and the latter, at best a metaphor.
The most popular case study in neuroscience is probably that of Phineas Gage, a 19th century American railroad worker. When he was 25, an iron rod went through his head, and a large part of his left frontal lobe was destroyed. Miraculously, he survived – but did he survive as himself? His memory and intelligence weren’t affected by his accident, but his personality changed so much that his friends and family described him as “no longer Gage.”
Over the decades, we have learnt that the physical structure of the brain determines personality. For example, sociopathy is not a behavioural defect but a biological one: damage to the amygdala, the part of the brain believed to cause feelings of empathy for others, is the probable culprit. Four percent of us are born sociopaths, though they are over-represented among criminals, bankers, lawyers and politicians. (I’m not joking.) Neuroscientists have even identified parts of the brain that are responsible for spiritual feelings, though I classified being devout as a mental disorder long before I knew this.
The physical structure of the brain is just the start of it. Tweaking the chemical or hormonal balance of the brain can also shape and change personality. That accounts for the popularity of anti-depressants and cognitive super-drugs like Modafinil (which I take occasionally). Similarly, a coffee or sugar high can change behaviour, and hunger or lust can transform us. Most of these processes we are barely beginning to understand, leave alone control, but one day we will be able to shape a child’s personality before its birth using genetic engineering.
The big point I am making here is that what we call our ‘self’ is fragile and accidental. All humans, and their brains, are more or less identical. Tiny differences in our physical brains, and their chemical and hormonal balance, account for who we are. Self-help books teach us that we are all unique, but the truth is that we are basically made of the same matter, differ only in circumstance, and that embracing this truth is the only route to a happiness that is not delusional.
I don’t mean to imply here that Nature is everything. Nurture is as important. As Steven Pinker once wrote, Nature gives us knobs of varying sizes, and Nurture turns them. That underlines, even more, the accidental nature of our identity. We have the brains and bodies that we have; and then, we are born into the circumstances that we are. It’s all just luck.
So the next time you meet a Hindutva nationalist who dreams of Akhand Bharat, ask him if he would have felt the same way if he happened to be born in Lahore and his parents named him Anwar. If the question makes him angry, hand him an Ativan.
But no, in all seriousness, empathise with that dude. There, but for the grace of Luck, stand you.

There's been uproar about 'intrusive' ads. Here's an alternative.
Media buyers have seen some distinct trends in online advertising creative come and go over the past few years. Do you remember the "teaser" banner, with its blatant but vague call to action, such as "Special offer! Click here"? And how about the gaming banner, that "Punch the monkey" model that tried to lure Internet users to the advertiser's site with the imprecise promise of big winnings and big fun? Legitimate advertisers, with real expectations to meet and results to deliver, rarely employ these concepts. Why? They provide precious little information about the actual product or service being advertised -- information that is a must if you're going to succeed in compelling a potential customer to visit your site because he is genuinely interested in what is being offered.
The beauty of this type of ad placement is obvious. Incorporating one into your campaign is essentially like having a mini version of your client's site wherever you choose to advertise. You can use it to build brand awareness and encourage product recall or to capture data and generate leads. With this much space to work with, your options are manifold, and Point·Roll can track user interaction with each ad to an incredibly precise degree.
There has been some concern about these ad placements taking up too much editorial space, and if you've ever accidentally rolled over one while reading some online content or trying to get to another link, you understand why. A poorly placed Point·Roll ad can aggravate surfers to no end, so it's important to speak with your account executive about your placement in advance. A good rep will have your ad tested in various positions throughout his site before making his recommendation, as it's in his best interest to ensure that your potential customers -- his dedicated users -- don't run into any problems.
What makes the rise of these ads so interesting is that many advertisers believe Point·Roll banners are less intrusive than other, more aggressive ad formats, such as pop-up ads, and will therefore be more willingly accepted by consumers. There is one distinct difference between the two formats: Point·Roll ads are user initiated. Unlike other ad units that have been the source of so much controversy, these aren't meant to assertively push your ad message on a potential customer. The design of the ads encourages brand interaction without coming on too forcefully. The ads are page based, so frequency caps are rarely used. Users have the option of interacting with the ads just as they would with a standard GIF or HTML banner. These banners simply reside exactly where they are placed. If users are interested, they'll respond of their own accord.
One could say this marks the return to a more passive type of advertising -- if any type of advertising can be labeled passive. It's all about "planting a seed and nurturing an idea." The rest is up to the consumer.
The team at Point·Roll has made a conscious effort to design a format that is progressive and addresses this industry's limitations, even those that are only beginning to emerge. As one Point·Roll representative points out, the ads allow advertisers to evade potential impediments such as an increase in the consumer employment of ad-blocking software, something that Point·Roll believes is an "inevitable future event." Many advertisers are already concerned about this imminent threat. Could Point·Roll be their deliverance?
Point·Roll estimates close to one thousand sites already accept its technology, with more being converted all the time. Some industry professionals speculate this could be the next big trend in online advertising, and it could even mark the end of the traditional banner ad. What do you think?

We reviewed the Jabra SUPREME last year. It is the first non-stereo headset that includes Active Noise Cancellation. It is a bit bigger than I usually like but it sounds great and is a good choice if you are in the market for a new BT headset. Here’s what we had to say at the time
I’m really impressed with the Jabra Supreme. It is comfortable, sounds good and offers all of the features that I want and need in a headset. The active noise cancellation is an interesting new feature. It works quite well and allows for good quality calls on both sides. When the active cancellation kicks in there is a bit of the all-too-familiar pressure change that active noise cancellation is known for. It isn’t all that noticeable and, unlike most active noise canceling headphones, I did not find it uncomfortable in the least. The “flip open to turn on” boom is convenient and the voice activate button is placed in a most useful location. Bottom line, if you are looking for a rather high-end Bluetooth headset the Jabra SUPREME should be on the short list.
What I Like: Comfortable; easy turn on/connect functionality/ good voice quality on both ends of the conversation
What Needs Improvement: I want a carrying case!; iOS app not yet available
The Jabra SUPREME UC builds on the earlier version by including a nano, pre-paired Bluetooth USB adapter. This addition makes it possible to connect the headset to PCs and use it for UC (Unified Communications) supported calls or traditional mobile phone calls. Better still, the headset will stay connected to both devices and switch seamlessly between mobile and UC calls with the simple push of a button.
As Mogens Elsberg, CEO of Jabra notes,
As Americans continue to move towards mobility, both inside and outside of the office, Jabra is focusing on making communicating on the go as easy as possible with our ever-growing suite of products dedicated to the mobile workforce. With this line of products, we are providing mobile workers with hands-free communication options for use in the office, in the car, on the street, and anywhere else business needs to be done.
The headset includes Active Noise Cancellation and uses one dedicated microphone and an electronic chipset to “generate an ‘anti-noise’ sound, removing ambient noise heard by the person wearing the headset. This technology ensures that whether the headset is being used on-the go on a mobile phone or with a UC platform in a noisy office setting.”
The Jabra SUPREME UC will be available in May at a suggested retail price of $149. The Jabra SPEAK 410 and FREEWAY are currently available for $159 and $129, respectively.

Irish Bacon is Now in Stock!
What is Irish bacon anyway? It's bacon made from the back, rather than the belly, of the pig. Often serve in Ireland and Great Britain, we're bringing this in from Jolly Posh, made in the US, but using the same methods as they do in Europe.
Back bacon is somewhere between typical American belly bacon and Canadian bacon. It's not as fatty as belly bacon, but not as lean as Canadian bacon. It's juuuuuust right!
Jolly Posh's bacon is hand-trimmed, hand-rubbed and dry-cured.
Each 8 oz pack contains approximately 6-8 slices (“rashers”) of back-bacon. This back-bacon is fabulous as part of a traditional Full English breakfast, makes an amazing B.L.T, and is a brilliant ingredient in quiche, spaghetti carbonara and soups.
Made with prime pork loin raised without hormones
80% less fat than regular American bacon
Blast frozen to seal in freshness and quality
Free of MSG
Grab a pack in our shop or give us a call or shoot us an email to have a pack shipped to you! Remember to use the code TOGO for 15% off your order.

What is the average cost per MB to purchase SAN or NAS storage and what is the annual average cost per MB to manage...
it? I realize that prices vary but, just looking for a generalized average.
The price per MB varies greatly, depending on the solution you buy.
SAN will obviously cost more, since it requires all the hardware and software "plumbing" needed to connect everything together and manage it properly. NAS price per MB can be much cheaper, but you need to be cautious with the reliability of the underlying disks that the NAS hardware is attached to.
The usual price range I have been seeing over the past year or so is between .02 and .25 cents per MB depending on whether it's a low-end disk subsystem that is direct connected to the hosts, a mid-range solution with redundant controllers and other RAS features, that use multiple 16-32 port switches for the SAN fabric, and high-end mainframe connected solutions where all the data is replicated to a recovery site through the SAN.
The most expensive part of these solutions tends to be the software licenses for the cool stuff. Things like instant data snapshots of production volumes, data replication hardware and software (don't forget the expensive remote links!), automated backup solutions, element/fabric management software, path failover software licenses, instant recovery solutions, premier service contracts, etc.
All these things add up. When you price out a storage solution, companies that tout very low price per meg may be misleading you. You need to make sure the solution comes with everything you need to actually use and manage it, make sure it has a warranty period or service contract that meets your requirements and has no "re-occuring" costs during the useful lifetime of the product. These re-occuring costs can add up to a heck of a lot more total cost of ownership and therefore REAL price per MB.

Chromosomal patterns of gene expression from microarray data: methodology, validation and clinical relevance in gliomas

2 University Department of Neuropathology, Division of Neuroscience, Imperial College London, London, UK
3 Department of Human Genetics, University of Liège, Belgium

BMC Bioinformatics 2006, 7:526 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-7-526Published: 1 December 2006
Expression microarrays represent a powerful technique for the simultaneous investigation of thousands of genes. The evidence that genes are not randomly distributed in the genome and that their coordinated expression depends on their position on chromosomes has highlighted the need for mathematical approaches to exploit this dependency for the analysis of expression data-sets.
We have devised a novel mathematical technique (CHROMOWAVE) based on the Haar wavelet transform and applied it to a dataset obtained with the Affymetrix® HG-U133_Plus_2 array in 27 gliomas. CHROMOWAVE generated multi-chromosomal pattern featuring low expression in chromosomes 1p, 4, 9q, 13, 18, and 19q. This pattern was not only statistically robust but also clinically relevant as it was predictive of favourable outcome. This finding was replicated on a data-set independently acquired by another laboratory. FISH analysis indicated that monosomy 1p and 19q was a frequent feature of tumours displaying the CHROMOWAVE pattern but that allelic loss on chromosomes 4, 9q, 13 and 18 was much less common.
The ability to detect expression changes of spatially related genes and to map their position on chromosomes makes CHROMOWAVE a valuable screening method for the identification and display of regional gene expression changes of clinical relevance. In this study, FISH data showed that monosomy was frequently associated with diffuse low gene expression on chromosome 1p and 19q but not on chromosomes 4, 9q, 13 and 18. Comparative genomic hybridisation, allelic polymorphism analysis and methylation studies are in progress in order to identify the various mechanisms involved in this multi-chromosomal expression pattern.

The European lands that gave the world pierogi, kolacky and dumplings are deliciously represented in the Chicago area, with restaurants ranging from folk-art decorated spots to more upscale dining rooms replete with white tablecloths.
Some of these stick strictly to the fare of a particular country. Others mix things up, featuring Polish and Lithuanian dishes, for example, or a range of Czech cuisine that might highlight specialties from that country's Bohemian or Moravian regions.
What all these places have in common, though, is good, stick-to-the-ribs food at easy-to-swallow prices (a soup-to-dessert-and-coffee feast can often be had for less than $10). You can count on fragrant soups, a variety of sausages, and fish dishes from herring to trout.
Consider this just a sampling of Polish and Czech restaurants in the area.
Bohemian Crystal (639 N. Blackhawk Drive, Westmont; 630-789-1981): Sometimes it seems the lines never let up at this comfy eatery where substantial portions of food are served at affordable prices. Efficient waitresses hustle platters through the large dining room, capping meals at most tables with a fruit-filled kolacky dessert. The offerings range from roast pork and duck to breaded cauliflower and barbecued ribs. Worth special note are the daily specials, including such Czech classics as svickova (pickled beef with gravy), koprova (beef with dill gravy) and fruit dumplings.
Czech Plaza (7016 W. Cermak Rd., Berwyn; 708-795-6555): Lunch? Dinner? You name it. This place is busy with diners feasting on crisp roast duck, hickory smoked butt, potato dumplings stuffed with ham, and fruit dumplings. Folk art accents decorate the neat-as-a-pin dining rooms, where daily specials include such items as chicken paprika with spaetzle, veal hearts in sour cream gravy and two types of goulash: beef and Hungarian style. Steaks, broiled fish and, yes, chop suey, fill out the menu.
Kokonut Bar & Restaurant (6913 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles; 847-647-1112): Get ready for white tablecloths, mirrored touches on the walls and a dance floor at this eatery. You will also find teriyaki steak, grilled calamari and shrimp scampi. But the reason to visit Kokonut is for the Polish dishes. You could start with a cold beet-yogurt-dill soup called chlodnik, a fruit soup, or the tasty herring that arrives atop a sour-cream-onion mix. Pork loin with red cabbage, quail wrapped in bacon, trout with a dill sauce, plus several sausage combo plates round out the menu--and fruit-filled pierogis and apple cake finish it off.
Little Europe Restaurant (9208 W. Ogden Ave., Brookfield; 708-485-1112): Folk art decorates the walls and shelves of this comfy, tiny restaurant where a variety of Central European dishes are served. Duck, svickova (beef with a tangy sour-cream gravy), chicken paprikash and smoked butt are among the menu offerings; choose from yeast-style or potato dumplings on the side. There are also fruit dumplings that come bathed in butter, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and accompanied by cottage cheese.
Mabenka (7844 S. Cicero Ave., Burbank; 708-423-7679): Lovely carved benches at the entrance and delicious offerings in the breadbasket (including rye and pumpernickel) only hint at what's to come at this brightly decorated spot, which stars Polish and Lithuanian food. Besides the coffee shop classics (reuben and BLT sandwiches), Mabenka's vast menu includes Polish sausage, Lithuanian sausage, stuffed veal breast, pierogi, pyzy (a tasty ground meat mixture stuffed inside a fist-sized potato dumpling), tripe soup (flaczki) and oxtail stew.
Szalas Restaurant (5214 S. Archer Ave., 773-582-0300): This chalet-style, white-tablecloth restaurant focuses on Polish classics. There are delicious pierogi, richly flavored bigos (a hearty, cabbage-based stew), trout, herring and a breaded pork cutlet with sheep cheese among the many dishes. And there also is the complimentary bread, a dense potato creation shaped like a thick pancake. Cut into triangles--not unlike pita--it is served with a tangy sheep cheese spread and a bacon and onion spread. But another attention-getter at Szalas is the fun decor: folk costumes hanging on the walls, a large water wheel, a stone fireplace and snow sleds doubling as booths.

It's not easy, you know...life.
The thing about life is that it's so long and yet it feels so short. What was so many years ago can feel like it just happened. A second ago. And those moments that replay over and over again in your mind continues to haunt you, like nightmares of every waking moment.
This time around may be easier than it was. Or maybe it's just as hard but you've gotten used to it. The pain, the hurt, the devastating piercing heart-shatter. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...and we haven't died yet.
Yes, it's easier now. It truly is. To make choices. To keep cool. But there are days and maybe even most nights that waking up is so painful because the things that you've seen, you've been through and you've done, although far worse than how it is now, remain somewhere in you. In your heart and in the hearts of everyone around you.
People come and go, right? And maybe some stay. But why? Why did they go? And why did they stay? It's not a choice that they made on their own but a compliance to the choice that you made too. You choose who stays just as much as they choose to leave.
And if I choose you, and you choose me...then...that would lead to a happily ever after, right?
Every choice has its consequences. And every step of the way...is an effort. You have to work things through. Through out your life. No matter who or what your choices are.
Regret trying. Or regret never knowing. Either way, what you regret, is a choice you make.

In the Gen 4 camp
I love my G27 Gen 4 and am currently searching for a 26 for MRS. Vermonter. LGS had me run over for a 26 only to find out that it was a Gen 3. She specifically likes the grip on the Gen 4 as supposed to the 3 so its easy for us. Now to find one.
As for the mag release on the Gen 4 Never an issue here.

F(ab')2 fragment antibodies are generated by pepsin digestion of whole IgG antibodies to remove most of the Fc region while leaving some of the hinge region. F(ab')2 fragments have two antigen-binding Fab portions linked together by disulfide bonds and therefore they are divalent. The average molecular weight is about 110 kDa. They are used for specific applications, such as to avoid binding of secondary antibodies to live cells with Fc receptors or to Protein A or Protein G.
Based on immunoelectrophoresis and/or ELISA, the antibody reacts with the Fc portion of human IgG heavy chain but not with the Fab portion of human IgG. No antibody was detected against human IgM or IgA, or against non-immunoglobulin serum proteins. The antibody has been tested by ELISA and/or solid-phase adsorbed to ensure minimal cross-reaction with bovine, horse and mouse serum proteins, but it may cross-react with immunoglobulins from other species.
Antibody Format: F(ab')2 Fragment
Specificity: IgG, Fcγ Fragment Specific
Minimal Cross Reactivity: Bovine, Horse, Mouse Serum Proteins

Microbattery.com offers you these tips to help you properly choose the correct CMOS battery for your computer's BIOS application:
- Determine your CMOS battery's voltage.
- Determine your battery type: Is it primary or rechargeable? Primary batteries may be alkaline, lithium CR type, Lithium BR type, cylindrical, or wafer. Rechargeable batteries on the other hand, may either be nickel cadmium (Ni-CD, NiCD, or NiCad), nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH or NiMH), or lithium-ion (Li-ion or LIB). Take note that Ni-CD and Ni-MH batteries have a single cell voltage of 1.2 volts, so battery packs having a multiple cells will have higher voltages of 2.4, 3.6, 4.8, 6.0, or 7.2 volt. Some primary batteries, such as the 3.6 or 6.0 volt lithium cylindrical and lithium wafers cells or packs should not be confused with the rechargeable Ni-MH or Ni-CD packs. These lithium batteries are not interchangeable with rechargeable battery packs, even if they have the same voltage.
- Determine the battery size and pack shape: If physical dimensions are different, the replacement battery may not fit into the required space.
- Verify the rated mAh capacity: The replacement battery you purchase should have the same or similar capacity to the mAh capacity of the original battery. Although a slight difference may be acceptable, if the replacement battery is a rechargeable cell or pack, a non-matching mAh capacity may indicate a wrong size pack.
- Take note of the connector type or pin locations: Verify the connector is the same as that of you replacement battery. For cells and packs with mounting pins, verify the pin position is the same as that in the replacement battery.
The most common replacement battery for PC desktops is the CR2032 3 volt primary lithium coin cell. It is a bare cell that is pressure fit or clipped into a coin cell battery holder that is soldered to the motherboard. The battery can be replaced by hand.

Cattle graze in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.

Written by Rachel Frost and Jeff Mosley, Montana State University
Livestock grazing is one of the most widespread and important uses of rangelands. Renewable plant resources provide forage for ruminant livestock like cattle, sheep, and goats; and the ruminant animals subsequently provide food and fiber for people. This method of harvesting solar energy requires relatively low inputs of petroleum products for agricultural production. Rangeland livestock, however, must be managed properly to ensure the long-term sustainability of the soil-plant-animal resource base.
There are a set of basic grazing management principles and a set of grazing management guidelines that should be considered.
Grazing Management Principles
The art and science of grazing management involve manipulating the grazing animal, the forage plant, and the soil complex to obtain specific ecological and economic objectives. The successful grazing manager must thoroughly understand how plants grow and reproduce if he wants to understand how grazing animals affect plants through defoliation, hoof action, and other aspects of the grazing process. In addition, managers must understand the grazing animal, specifically its nutritional needs at critical points of the production cycle and its behavioral characteristics. Then managers can begin to consider the following:
How plants respond to grazing is determined by the timing, intensity, and frequency of grazing as well as the physiological and morphological characteristics of the plants and how these characteristics affect plant growth before and after grazing events.
Grazing Management Guidelines for Sustainable Rangeland
Guidelines have been developed through research and experience. They include timing of grazing, frequency of grazing, intensity of grazing, type of livestock, number of animals, animal distribution, grazing selectivity, and grazing systems.
