SAN FRANCISCO - Labor Day, to be observed Monday, Sept. 3, is more than just the last chance for a vacation and picnic before summer ends. San Francisco State University experts on the labor movement are available to remind the public why all American workers should be thankful on this holiday, informing them of the history of the labor movement and recent trends in the labor movement.
Brenda Cochrane, director of the SFSU Labor Studies Program, says the labor movement is still thriving - especially among women and minorities - despite the fact that far fewer American workers belong to unions these days.
"Minorities and women now have become more active in labor organizing," she says. "In addition, white males now make up less than 50 percent of membership in unions, which represents a significant change."
Cochrane, also an expert on international labor movements, has done extensive studies on growing unionization efforts by sweatshop workers in third-world countries. Cochrane may be reached at her office at (415) 338-2885 or at her home at (415) 824-5866.
SFSU history Professor Robert Cherny can discuss the history of the labor movement, particularly in the West Coast maritime industries from 1900 to 1950. He notes that this year marks the 100th anniversary of a strike by maritime workers on the San Francisco waterfront. The strike, spurred by employers' attempts to destroy the Teamsters union, forced the thriving Port of San Francisco to shut down for several months, hurting California's economy.
"As a result, the Teamsters weren't destroyed and the union dominated San Francisco politics for the next 10 years," Cherny says. "This helped give San Francisco its reputation as a union town."
Cherny is also writing a book on Harry Bridges, a hero of the Bay Area labor movement who served as founding president of the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union for 40 years. Harry Bridges Plaza was dedicated on The Embarcadero in San Francisco on July 28, when he would have turned 100 years old. Cherny may be reached at his office at (415) 338-7561 or via e-mail at cherny@sfsu.edu | http://www.sfsu.edu/~news/prsrelea/fy01/017.htm | 2013-05-18T10:52:34 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

From Staff Reports
PASADENA - The Pasadena Poly girls volleyball team used power from each corner, took early leads in two of the four games and defeated visiting Burroughs, 25-18, 24-26, 25-13, 25-16 in the CIF-Southern Section Division 2A quarterfinals Saturday.
Outside hitter Alex Clark had 24 kills for Poly (16-8), which appeared to be too much for the Indians (17-13), who had beaten Cypress and Oxnard in five games in the first two rounds of the playoffs.
The Panthers get another rematch with Prep League champion Chadwick, which defeated Poly in two matches this season. The teams met for the past two CIF-SS Division 3AA championships. They play in the semifinals on Tuesday.
"I think we matched up with them on our block a little bit," Poly coach Steve Beerman said. "I think our size helped take out some of the things that they (Burroughs) wanted to do."
Chadwick 3, Arcadia 0
Chadwick set itself up for a third consecutive trip to a CIF-SS Division 2A title game with a 25-22, 25-19, 25-7 sweep at Arcadia in a quarterfinal game.
The Dolphins (24-2) are the two-time reigning CIF-SS 3AA champions and currently have a 17-match winning streak.
Division 1A
La Salle 3, San Juan Hills 0
La Salle advanced to the semifinals for the third consecutive season by sweeping through San Juan Hills, 25-19, 25-16, 25-21 in a CIF-SS Division 1A quarterfinal match in San Juan Capistrano.
The second-seeded Lancers (32-2) won their 13th consecutive match.
La Salle will play Del Rey League rival Bishop Montgomery for the third time this season. The semifinal match will be Tuesday in Torrance. The Lancers scored 3-1 and 3-0 victories over Bishop Montgomery this season.
DIVISION 3A
AQUINAS 3, SAN GABRIEL 1
Aquinas extended its winning streak to nine matches by knocking off fourth-seeded San Gabriel in four games in a CIF-SS Division 3A quarterfinal at San Gabriel.
The co-Ambassador League champion Falcons (24-1) took advantage of Matadors service errors in an 18-25 25-9, 26-28 25-27 victory.
"We had our chances," San Gabriel coach Larry Kanow said. "We had a seven-point lead in the third game and did not come through."
San Gabriel (25-4-1) had won its last seven matches by 3-0 scores.
DIVISION 5AA
ALVERNO 3, EXCELSIOR CHARTER 0
The Jaguars disposed of the Eagles 25-21, 25-13, 25-17 to advance to the semifinals in a CIF-SS Division 5AA quarterfinal match played at Foothills Community Church in Sierra Madre.
Jessica Hamilton had 15 kills and Alex Overstreet seven kills, a block and an ace. Sydney Hernandez-Barber added four kills, one block and one ace.
Alverno (18-3) plays the Desert Christian-La Sierra Academy winner in Tuesday's semifinals. La Sierra is the division's fourth seed.

FONTANA - Jimmie Johnson speeding at Auto Club Speedway is not an unusual sight. It was the passengers inside his No. 48 Lowe's Chevrolet that were most unusual.
As part of a promotion by the track for its March 22-24 NASCAR weekend, Johnson was back in Southern California for the second time in five days, less than 24 hours following his second-place finish at the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race in Phoenix.
However, Johnson wasn't alone throughout the day. In a cross-promotion two years in the making, Johnson was part of a five-man crew that spent the morning surfing in Huntington Beach, racing at Fontana and skiing in Mammoth.
Joining Johnson, who has been going virtually non-stop since his Feb. 24 win at the season-opening Daytona 500, were pro surfers, skiers and snowboarders with ties to the state.
Representing the wet set were surfers Dave Kalama and Ian Walsh while Eddie Wall and Chris Benchtler were from the snow side. Erin Bates also joined the group as she will host an April special of the day on MAV TV.
"This is an amazing state," ACS president Gillian Zucker said. "There is nowhere else where you can do this in one day. It's really hard to believe."
The promotion was the product of a "brainstorm" between Zucker and Mammoth Mountain CEO Rusty Gregory after they were brought together by Caroline Beteta, president/CEO of Visit California.
"This projects the California experience," she said as the surfers and
Although Johnson was the lone racer in the group, he's no stranger to the other outdoor California sports.
"I surfed when I was in high school," said Johnson, who grew up in El Cajon. "And once in a while, we would ski in the resorts around here."
After Johnson gave his new friends a ride around the track, they climbed into race cars provided by the Rusty Wallace Racing Experience for their own laps. But only after a brief classroom instruction by Blair DuPree, the racing school's general manager. His crew applied green and orange tape, which served as "gates" for the new drivers, and cones on where to lift.
"Are we shifting?" Wall asked. "This (racing terms) is like another language. I mean, for me, it's like Jimmie is on black diamond and we're in the green circles."
More than 300 fans, mostly for Johnson but representatives of the other sports, were on hand on pit road and the suites above the track.
"We were just inches from the wall, probably the best moment of my life," Bates told the cheering crowd upon her exit from Johnson's race. "My heart is just pounding. If I had to be in a car with anyone, Jimmie Johnson is the guy."
It was virtually the same reaction from all after climbing out following a lap that reached speeds of more than 170 mph.
"It was pretty intense," said Wall. "It was more scary riding with Jimmie. I was just flooring it. I couldn't imagine in 100 years being just one of 42 cars out there for four hours.
"I once thought drivers weren't athletes. Now I know better."
Walsh had similar sentiments.
"That was pretty exciting," he said, "I am feeling really alive right now."
And so did the fans who waited for nearly three hours for a Johnson autograph.
Jose Gomez and Isis Garnica made the journey east from Los Angeles in Johnson merchandise. For Gomez, he had Johnson sign a die-cast ("One of only 300 made").
Six-year-old Matthew Arellano of San Dimas had Johnson sign a dollar bill he borrowed from his father. Dad Gilbert thought he got the better of the deal, taking a photo of his young Jimmie Johnson fan and the five-time NASCAR champion.

Thanks for Shaadi.com.Sheetal my life partner always 07 life.
Poonam Motwani
Thank you Shaadi.com.
Mahaboob Shariff
She took the first step in contacting me. We initially started with emails, then to facebook and then to instant messaging. I saw a friend in her, took the plunge and went to Sydney (for the 1st time alone) from Singapore to meet her and her family, without my family\'s knowledge. I fell for her there and then. And then we got our families to meet and the rest is history. Inshallah, we will have a memorable wedding and a wonderful marriage.
Mohitkumar saraogi
Our family liked each others profile and added them. Later we started chatting and sharing emails at a good frequency and could see a connection building up between us. The connection grew stronger and stronger with every passing day and before we could realize we started liking each other. The building of connection was important for both of us and we guess when the ONE is in front of us the connection builds quickly. We also believe that when the ONE comes we can see love through air and everywhere around us. It is also true that before we could realize, our so called arranged meeting had turned into a mere formality and we had realized that both of us are in love with other. Our marriage started as an arrange marriage however when we get married it will be not an arranged but a LOVE marriage.

A very decent and loving family, I cud not ask for more...And when he met me for the 1st time, I had nothing more to say but a YES...we got engaged within a week on 18th Sept as he was flying back soon....3 months later we got married and it was the best day.......Its been over a year now...we\'ve been thru many ups and downs and discovered each other and love each other immensely...He\'s an absolute brilliant person and I am very thankful to god and Shaadi.com for helping us get together bcos I dont know how else I wud hv met a person who was miles away in a different country...

I registered on the site at the begining of the year in 2011. My husband now had then, expressed interest in me in february of that year which i accepted after much thought. We then started talking over emails which quickly resulted in speaking over the phone where we completely fell for each other. The freindship had slowely changed into love and we both with the blessings of family decided to get engaged and married at the end of the year 2011.
I really did not have much hope when i intially registered with the site, but now thanks to the site i was able to find the partner that i had been looking for. My husband is my rock and we both love each other form the bottom of our hearts. Thanks Shaadi.com for making both our dreams into reality.

It all started with an interest obviously. Since both of us worked, it was hard to find time to meet but one day we just decided to do it and that was one of the best days of our life. We met on October 15, 2010 at Life Style and had sweet corn and then walked together to CCD outside Garuda Mall where we talked for almost 2 hrs (nope, we did not order coffee so it didn\'t happen over coffee :). She was fasting that day and I was so hungry as I had missed my lunch (which I do very often and it annoys her very much). So I was hogging and she was just watching me eat. Since then we cannot stop talking :-) To my pleasant surprise, it turned out that we had few (no, actually quite a few) common relatives. A visit by my parents to meet her and her family was followed by a ceremony called Roka. We enjoyed our courtship period of about 3.5 months and for both of us, it has been a treasure to cherish. And then, we became permanent roommates (as I call it jokingly at times) on Feb 19, 2011 with the blessings of our well-wishers bestowed upon us. It has been an amazing journey, a dream come true. Thanks, Shaadi.com.

Cellina Constantine
I, Cellina Constantine, am a Sri Lankan Tamil living in Norway. My good friend Samreen Javed who also lives in Norway, created a profile for me on Shaadi.com, early in year 2011. In June 2011, Samreen introduced me to Robin Joseph, who is also a Sri Lankan Tamil living in Sri lanka, and a member of Shaadi.com. It did not take long time for both Robin and I to realise that we are made for each other. Therefore, with our families blessings, we got engaged in Sri Lanka on the 12th of December 2011. Our Catholic church wedding will take place in Sri Lanka on the 30th of June 2012. We wish to thank Shaadi.com and our friend Samreen Javed for making our dream come true. We believe that without your help, we would not have found each other so far across the oceans. THANK YOU.

Renee Philip
I created my profile and paid for a membership on Shaadi.com, with the encouragement of friends, at the very end of the year of 2010. After a few months of finding nothing, and feeling that my membership cost was paid fruitlessly, my good friend asked me for my profile login information. She proceeded to message over 12 gentlemen with characteristics she thought would suit me. To my surprise, all of them messaged me back. Overwhelmed with the number of responses, I chose two to respond back to. From these two suitors, it was clearly evident after the second exchange of emails, that Sanoj and I were really well suited. We continued a long-distance relationship for about two years, before we decided to get married.
As a comical focale point of our wedding, we used the story of how we met to be our cake topper. We had an online vendor to create exact figuerines of the two of us in our wedding attire, sitting at a desk with laptops, and Shaadi.com written on the computer. We thought it would be great advertisement material for your company. We hope you can use the story and wedding pictures!

Priya and Ziren
Prior to Shaadi.com I was living the American dream but there was something missing. After some deep sole searching I decided to register on Shaadi.com. I registered on Shaadi.com in 2009 I actively started searching for a life partner. I accepted a few girls and started communicating with them. One of the girls that I had accepted was Priya. Initially we just kept in touch with just a casual hi, how are things . The time difference between Priya and me was a hurdle we had to overcome it was like a huge pill for me to swallow as I had to move out of my comfort zone. We initially kept in touch and stayed in touch as friends.
With the fear of rejection I never asked Priya for a number to communicate with her over the phone. In the summer of 2011 Priya took a bold step and asked me for my number. This kicked our summer romance in overdrive. As we started communicating on a regular basis our love blossomed like a flower in spring and our puppy love had taken off like white turtle doves. As we communicated Priya and her family on a regular basis asked me when I would come down to see her and take the entire relationship to the next level. I finally came down in December and saw Priya in person for the first time on the 8th of December. That very evening after we met I went and asked her mother for her hand in marriage and the rest is history We got married on the 29th of December in Mumbai.
From the first time our eyes met
to the very last kiss of last night
I knew we were meant to be
From now to eternity
And for all of destiny to see
Thanks to Shaadi.com
We found our destiny
Vikram Subramanian
We first met on Shaadi.com, I found that Komal lived in the Bay Area, California. I was living in Los Angeles, but I grew up in the Bay Area myself. We chatted on the phone and emailed each other for several months. We eventually met in person, and slowly fell in love. I eventually got a job in the Bay Area, and moved there. Komal and I grew closer because we lived close together, and we eventually decided to get engaged! We got engaged on December 25, 2011.

This recent piece from CBS considers that lucid dreaming might actually be possible. But for those for whom understanding the mind on an experiential level is a way of life, lucid dreaming is not only possible, but can serve as a genuine practice on the path of realization.
Our new book by B. Alan Wallace, Dreaming Yourself Awake, is an instruction manual for lucid dreaming and Tibetan dream yoga. Wallace lays out techniques that trigger awareness in the dream state to heighten creativity, to solve problems, and to increase self-knowledge. We also publish three other titles on the topic of Tibetan dream yoga, which you can find here. Give it a try--you might be amazed at the worlds your mind can construct.

Are there plans to release a kindle edition? I'm waiting for it.

"The art of deep seeing makes gratitude possible. And it's the art of gratitude that makes joy possible. Isn;t joy the art of God." - Ann Voskamp
This week my friend Hannah reflected on how the way we choose to tell out story has a great impact on how we live our story: we can be negative about it or we can look at everything with a positive lens, which will lead to places of gratitude. Like Ann, who writes about "deep seeing" as a path to gratitude, Hannah talked about the importance of feasting on one's life. She used her son's hugs as an example, saying that instead of just patting him on the back and saying "Thanks Buddy" she receives it as the gift it is and allows herself to enjoy the moment rather than hurrying it.
I love this thought... feasting on life, and it fits so perfectly with this little project I have challenged myself with. How often to we take time out of the busyness of our lives to fill up on the treasures that make up our everyday... yes, even a sink full of dirty dishes is something to feast on because it means you have food to eat!
Here is what I have been feasting on this week!
18. My first ever moose siting (It was a lot closer when I first saw it, and it was "majestic.")
19. This gorgeous bouquet of spring flowers I bought myself, which has brightened up my desk this dreary week.
20. Notes of encouragement with just the right words.
21-24. Wednesday night movie night with Kristen and Abigail.
25. Afternoon Skype dates with my brother and my nephew.
And few morsels I don't have photos for...
26. Phone calls reminding me of an appointment I was likely to forget.
27. My sink full of dishes.
28. The television show, New Girl.
Love & Sunshine,
Shannon-May
Really? Your sink full of dishes?
Can you tell me how to enjoy that? I'm lacking in that department. :) | http://www.shannonmayphotography-blog.com/2012/03/1000-gifts-feasting-on-life.html | 2013-05-18T11:02:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

“Your.
Citrix ShareFile stores your files in secure, SSAE 16 audited datacenters.
Our privately managed server farm is equipped with the latest firewalls and Internet security updates to help keep your data completely safe, and physical security measures from fingerprint scanners to ballistic-proof exteriors protect against theft and natural disaster.
All communications between Citrix ShareFile and the user are encrypted using either Secure SocketLayer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption protocols and up to AES 256-bit encryption. This is the same functionality used by banks and popular e-commerce services for secure communication. ShareFile also encrypts stored files when they are at rest on our servers for an additional layer of security.
When you create folders in your ShareFile account, only the users you choose are able to access the contents of those folders. Users who do not have access to a folder will not even see the folder in their view of the system. This means you can safely share information with clients, employees and others without sacrificing control of what each person may see and what actions they may take.
Each ShareFile user has a unique user name and password. All passwords are hashed in the ShareFile database, so not even ShareFile support personnel have the ability to view or determine a user's password.
ShareFile security is subject to daily security audits by a third-party security monitoring firm. This helps us stay one step ahead of the latest security threats.
ShareFile was built with reliability and scalability in mind. Our datacenters have features including hurricane-rated roofs and multiple redundant power sources in case of power outage.
To protect against data loss, our servers are also equipped with technology that automatically mirrors all data in real time to separate locations. Additionally, we perform regular incremental and full backups of all system data, including off-site data backups, to protect against almost all disaster scenarios.

If you are looking for a review of the sessions at SharePoint Saturday Austin then I'm afraid I can't help you. I was scheduled to speak at 3 PM CST and spent my time preparing for my presentation.
I can tell you I had a great time and met a handful of really great people and saw some old friends.If you ever get a chance to catch one of these events in Austin, make sure and do it. Jim Bob Howard is a gentleman and a professional that can arrange a second to none event. Thanks again Jim Bob for all the hard work and allowing me to be a part of that amazing line up of speakers.]]>
Very excited to be added to the speakers list at SharePoint Saturday Austin this weekend! I'm a last minute addition to cover for another speaker who could not attend. One man gathers what another man spills!
My presentations is titled "SharePoint & UX... Why Bother?" discussing User Experience and its Importance to SharePoint. I hope to see you there at the session or at least If you manage to notice that I am there, please stop by and say "Hi".

When I design a SharePoint site these days I tend to forget, on purpose, that I am working in that framework. I like to focus on the problems I am trying to solve and not the tool we use to solve them. Clients seem to appreciate that.
It is when I am developing the design in Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer that I am reminded that I am indeed using SharePoint.
In this case it's about the markup. I know, I know that it's better in 2010, but the web parts are nothing nice. There are so many things that drive me crazy about styling SharePoint I can't possibly comment on them all. I will pick on that I keep facing. It's that the web parts all have a background-color set. Why why why.
I am going to make an attempt at creating a background-color reset. The web parts themselves are the determining factor as to what styles are used. Each time I use a web part and I clear out the background-color, I'm going to add it to a list here on my site. Please feel free to add via email or comments to the list.
/** make webparts transparent **/
.ms-WPHeader,
.ms-vh-icon,
.ms-wpContentDivSpace,
.ms-vh-div,
.s4-ctx,
.ms-vb,
.ms-bottompaging,
.ms-bottompagingline1,
.ms-bottompagingline2,
.ms-bottompagingline3 {background-color:transparent !important;}
div..ms-vb.itx {background-color:transparent !important; background-image:none !important;}
Why do this? From a design standpoint it's crucial to control the view of the data. From a development standpoint I'm trying to speed things up. Playing whack-a-mole with SharePoint markup and css is the biggest time killer I can think of. There is a great reset of typography at Kyle Schaeffer's site along these lines.
Give it a try. Join the effort. Defeat the mole.]]>
What a year 2011 was for me and my family. Not that anyone would know. I took the year off from blogging. Nothing bad mind you. New job, wife's surgery... It was one of those transformational years that something had to give to maintain balance.
Things have settled and I've got tons of things to share. I've designed no less than ten SharePoint 2010 experiences in 2011 and I'm not slowing down.
I hope everyone enjoys their holidays and is ready to soak up some SharePoint UX love.]]>
Ah, the fine art of wireframes. Probably the most recognized tool of the User Centered Design process. It's used in a many of today's application and web design projects. There are applications to help you wireframe. Websites about wireframing. Even groups to show off your wireframes. Some wireframes are pencil some are digital. Some are sketchy some are clean. What "wireframe" means goes beyond style these days and it seems to change depending on who you talk to and when you ask them. The clarity or lack therof is not in the drawing but in its purpose. Let's look at wireframing and see what it means to us now.
Wireframes are rough sketches or drawings representing the page layout. The drawing can contain such things as page elements, content inventory, and annotations.
Wireframes are not graphic design and don't have anything to do with visual design. Keep saying that; it might help later.Back in the Day
The idea of wireframing started out simple enough. It was born from a need to create quick drawings for content placement, hierarchy, and interaction. We used paper and pencil or a white board and the world marveled at how fast our teams could design and develop solid solutions.Current State
The way wireframes are being used today is changing. Time to market is becoming shorter. The kinds of interactions being represented are richer. And honestly there is more buy in from stake holders towards the process of “user centered design”. Visual communication is now at a premium and wireframes seem to be the commodity of choice.
Wireframing, in this sense, is done with zero documentation to work from. This is the documentation ideally created during a work session or two. Wireframing can speed up gathering requirements and improve communication. The main idea is to make drawings that everyone can see and come to an agreement on "what the application needs to be". Great tool for national or global teams.
The deliverable from this is not to be used as a UI wireframe document. During the requirements gathering no one really cares to discuss content relationships and appropriate hierarchy at that level. There should not be time for that. It might, however, be a great start to the next conversation.Information and Interaction design
This is the traditional process and deliverable that has been attached to the word "wireframe" for so many years. Based on documented requirements, client input and whatever else the UX practitioner is handed and expected to make UI magic from. This is a road map for the user interface and interaction design to be reviewed by the clients stake holders, SMEs, as well as, Technical Leads and even Graphic Designers. Still a very rough set of drawings built for rapid iteration and constant feedback it’s a good idea to make expectations clear that this is not visual design, but the information design.Development schematic
This purpose to me is the most laborious. The level of detail here is not what was intended when wireframes first became a thing. However it does cut to the chase for the guys in the trenches. This drawing is a blueprint pure and simple. The level of detail here is down to the user control and the line length of the text. It makes my head hurt writing this paragraph.
Traditionally this process allows for more time between deliverables so the drawings can be more detailed, but the danger here is… well the drawings can be more detailed.
It's important to set expectations on effort and purpose of the drawings. As the project moves from stage to stage if the intent of wireframing becomes blurry things can get messy.Agile
The quick iterations between reviews I think plays into the strengths of wireframes. The one huge caveat being the really detailed blue print for the developers. It can be problematic making the deadlines with that much detail. The UX practitioner needs to know his/her technical stuff and perhaps even rapid prototyping is more useful than wireframes once some of the more high level questions are answered.
Unlike most custom applications, with SharePoint the casual user will likely have some ability to edit the site in some way. Wireframes can be used to help define areas of interaction and who can do what. Also, each web part is its own little peice of business logic and wireframes can help decide which ones can be used and what explain what it is they do.Administration Side
When creating a site or application with SharePoint administration and content management functions are part and parcel with the framework. Wireframes can help make clear what that experience will look like.At the end of the day
It’s all visual communication and wireframes still look like ugly drawings of web pages, but the difference is the intent of the drawing and the audience that will digest it.]]>.]]>
Please familiarize yourself with the out of the box web parts and controls. Learn not only how they work, but also the limitations of each one. Wouldn’t hurt to brush up on some popular third party web parts as well.
This will keep your designs/wire frames/work flows more in the realm of executable and less in the realm of pure fantasy. As an added bonus, the developers will be less likely to plot your death if you do this.]]>

This year’s SharePoint Saturday Dallas took place at the Hilton right off the Tollway in North Dallas. Thanks to Eric Shupps for all his hard work and planning. I felt it was a well run affair with a nice variety of speakers and sponsors and a nice opportunity to catch up with some of my nerdy friends and make some new ones. These things are great for networking and learning and you can’t beat the price.
I appreciate the speakers taking a Saturday away from their normal routine and sharing their knowledge. Big ups to Derek Martin and Tracey Nolte from Slalom Consulting for great presentations!]]>

Number of U.S. Kids Injured on Halloween Is Scary
Children at 4 times the risk of being hit by a car on Oct. 31 than any other night, experts warn
SUNDAY, Oct. 9 (HealthDay News) -- Children are four times more likely to be hit by a car on Halloween night than on any other night of the year, according to experts at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In addition, the researchers warned that eye trauma from sharp objects and burns from flammable costumes are also.
- Costume accessories, such as wands and swords, should be made from safe, flexible materials and not have any sharp edges.

Divorce terminated?
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver have both been snapped wearing rings on their wedding fingers, which begs the question: Is another Kennedy princess turning a blind eye to her husband's sexual dalliances?
The estranged former First Couple of California had not been seen with their rings since Maria filed for divorce in July. But photographs taken over the past few days show the exes wearing their wedding jewels as if they're trying to remind us they're still very married.
The former NBC News correspondent dumped the one-time Governator after learning that he fathered a love child with the family maid, Mildred "Patty" Baena, in 1997. Shriver had been been pregnant with the youngest of her four children with Schwarzenegger when her husband began having a brief affair with "the help."
Soon after filing for divorce, Maria purchased a $10 million Los Angeles mansion in the swanky Brentwood neighborhood, not far from the family home she shared with Schwarzenegger.
But last month, reports surfaced that Maria was having doubts about divorcing Arnie. Tabloid tipsters said Maria's "deeply held religious views" and Arnie's "very sweet" attempts to win her back had prompted the Kennedy princess to reconsider throwing in the towel on her 25-year marriage.
(Never underestimate the power of flowers, chocolates and Catholicism!)
"I can confirm they're spending more time together recently," a source close to the family told The New York Daily News. "They spent Christmas together and the whole family went to the Lakers game last night."

Alright party people it’s part two of my Hunger Games party post- the menu!
Starting off your morning right with a nice cup of (anti) sleep syrup, Capitol’s orange juice (with a not so secret ingredient -champagne) and the Effie, a pink lemonade, pink champagne and fruit juice concoction…
Moving on to our heartier menu options: Greasy Sae’s breakfast casserole, Rue’s roasted root vegetables, Cato’s (asparagus) spears, District 11’s crescent rolls, Prim’s goat cheese & basil and Mellark’s Bakery bread…
Take a whole a look at the whole table and see if you can spot Katniss’ wild strawberries and District 12’s forbidden blackberries…
Even though we were all stuffed no one in their right mind could say no to this dessert spread- Peeta’s apple and goat cheese tart (click HERE for the recipe), Capitol’s honey pudding and Cinna’s cupcakes on fire.
Brittany made that and here she is putting the finishing touches on the Capitol’s honey pudding…
These were AMAZING.

I am so impressed. And hungry.
Don’t be too impressed. Someone asked if the breakfast casserole had tuna in it. That’s so not what you want to hear. #casserolefail
Thanks for the awesome ideas…. Love the cupcakes
I’ll try to convince the cupcake maker to give me a recipe
Wow! Just Wow wow wow!
This food looks amazing! I bet it tasted awesome.
This is one hell of a party.
I will have an Effie with Prim’s goat cheese and basil, please
coming right up!
I could spend some time drooling over that table full of food. Tell us what “Katniss’ wild strawberries” is make of? Or was it just wild strawberries? The entire spead looks luscious. I love good food.
You had me at “Anti-Sleep-Syrup.”
ps – I just bought an espresso machine.
pps – I could take picture of the milk froth all day long.
This feels like a momentous occasion! An espresso machine!?! You should send out a birth announcement.
So hungry now!! Wish I had half the creativity you do
feel very free to borrow all of these ideas!

Meet Frida and Fiona, my parents new rescue pups and my weekend companions. These little cuties are going to be my featured guests this week. Unfortunately, I did not have my dandy photographer to take pictures of my weekend outfits, but I do have some marvelous selfies of the outfits I wore last week that should suffice for the time being. I spent the weekend visiting my family in Georgia since it was Mother's Day on Sunday. Although uneventful, it is great to be home and out of the city once in a while. Even though I'm not to fond of spending all my time rummaging through the nature trails back home, the quirky charm tends to be the shopping! One of my fabulous finds of the weekend was a black and beige long sleeve Michael Kors dress which I bought for $10 at Ross after some heavy discounts - and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it (picture below). I also found some cute necklaces at Target that will be sprucing up some of my outfits this summer. I couldn't stop there, especially when I found and subsequently purchased two polka dot dresses in different colors.... at this point I can say that I have about 25 items #polkaintervention.
As always, stay tuned for future posts. I'm hoping to start posting twice a week soon.

At the center of our story is a moral dilemma. What happens when the law seems to dictate the very opposite of what seems right in a given situation? The narrator has depicted both our protagonist and antagonist as creatures who just act, men who are largely unreflective. The narrator also repeatedly emphasizes how simple and dutiful sailors are. The result is that this moral dilemma lands right on the shoulders of Captain Vere. He's the one who is trying to decide whether or not to listen to Claggart, and then he has to decide whether or not to condemn Billy. It is clear that Billy respects him, particularly given that his last words are "God Bless Captain Vere!" The narrator suggests that a sort of father-son bond was forming between them before everything fell apart on the Bellipotent. At the close of the story, we see that even as Vere condemns Billy to death, Billy looks up to him and respects his ability to make decisions. | http://www.shmoop.com/billy-budd/guidementor.html | 2013-05-18T11:02:42 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

ORLANDO—As the economy recovers, organizations that fail to revise their pay structures will see key talent walk out the door, according to presenters at the 2012 WorldatWork Total Rewards Conference that was held here May 21-23, 2012.
"With an increasing number of Americans leaving their jobs or considering doing so, organizations need to revisit their reward strategies to support the retention of key talent"—not the highest-level executives but those workers who consistently provide the most value to the organization, said Dow Scott, professor of HR & Employee Relations at Loyola University in Chicago.
Scott partnered with pay consultancy Hay Group in 2011 to study reward strategies that support key talent retention. Surveys conducted by Hay Group among its clients and members of WorldatWork, an association of HR/total rewards professions at mostly large North American companies, revealed that 20 percent of employees are expected to quit their jobs in the next two years. "Despite high unemployment, a number of baby boomers want one more fresh start before retiring," Scott noted. The consequences may be twofold: subsequent generations often lack the needed experience and skills to take over.
Key talent is always in demand and thus most likely to find that outside opportunities are available. "It's getting easier for key talent to leave," Scott added. With the rise of social media such as LinkedIn, "everyone is always looking for a job. The days when a company wouldn't publish an employee directory for fear of attracting headhunters are long gone." Moreover, "key employees are sensitive to the contributions they make in comparison to their peers," Scott noted.
-----------------------------------------------------------------"It's getting easier for key talent to leave."-- Prof. Dow Scott----------------------------------------------------------------
Replacing employees is estimated to cost on average from 0.5 times to 2 times salary, but key employees can be much more expensive to find, Scott said. So it's in the interest of organizations to retain key workers with special reward packages and career development opportunities.
Understanding Key Talent
But first, "it's vital to know who your key talent is," said Tom McMullen, Hay Group's North American practice leader. He offered a definition of key talent that includes consistent top performers, those identified as having high potential and employees who hold critical jobs.
In terms of high potential employees, he advised developing clarity around "potential for what?" in terms of likely promotion scenarios.

Organizations should clarify their rewards strategy for key talent, determining the degree of variation between key talent and others, McMullen advised. This should start with more aggressive base salary increases (including off-cycle pay raises, where appropriate), and include increased incentive and bonus opportunities that reward high performance.
"Differentials should be obvious across all cash reward elements over multiyear periods, throughout the length of the employee's career," McMullen recommended. In addition, nonfinancial rewards, such as mentoring opportunities, should target key talent.
Another important element is an effective communications strategy that lets employees know when they are viewed as key talent, taking into account the risk of alienating those who are not so identified—which ultimately might not be unhealthy for the organization, McMullen added.
"Involve key talent and senior management in developing key talent programs," he suggested, and learn what drives key talent to stay or leave. To determine the program's effectiveness, measure the growth of key employees in the organization and their retention rate.
Out the Door
Hay's survey revealed that the top reasons key talent leaves, according to HR professionals, include:).
Methods most often used to retain key talent include:
• Identify key employees who are essential to the business (85 percent).
• Hold discussion with key employees about future opportunities (80 percent).
• Pay employees above market level (75 percent).
• Identify key employees who are essential to the business (85 percent).
• Hold discussion with key employees about future opportunities (80 percent).
• Pay employees above market level (75 percent).
Role of Counter-Offers
Only 14 percent of surveyed HR professionals said that their organizations had a counter-offer policy, and only 4 percent had a documented policy, according to McMullen. Accordingly, "many find themselves scrambling at the 11th hour, when informed that an employee has received an outside offer," he said. To avoid losing them, "you need to re-recruit that person, and the typical window to present a counter-offer is 48 hours."
To prepare for these situations, "management guidance is needed on who is eligible to receive a counter-offer,” McMullen said. A counter-offer strategy should clarify:
• The types of people/jobs eligible for counter-offers.
• The role of HR, line managers and senior management in determining the counter-offer.
• The types of people/jobs eligible for counter-offers.
• The role of HR, line managers and senior management in determining the counter-offer.
In addition to enhanced pay, including short-term gestures such as an immediate bonus, it's important to discuss the employee's underlying needs and concerns. "If you don’t make good on those over the long term, you risk losing that person," he noted.
Another point to keep in mind when developing a counter-offer policy: Not everyone who tenders their resignation and indicates an interest in a counter-offer should receive one. "Some employees are key talent only in their own minds, a view that may not be shared by the organization," McMullen noted.

The Bigger Picture: Visual Archives and the Smithsonian
Women in Science: What the Photos Say
I was intrigued by a recent post on the National Museum of American History’s (NMAH) blog about the portrayal of women in the Science Service records. Arthur Molella director of the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, writes:
“… women are invariably passive or admiring observers. In other words, females are shown dominated by rather than in charge of technology… On the contrary, at the Lemelson Center we have uncovered ample evidence of significant female contributions. But, given the skewed nature of the visual record, we have had to work very hard to find this evidence.” These couldn't be the same women I’d begun to know and love through the photos the Smithsonian Institution Archives (SIA) posted to the SI Flickr Commons. And it certainly wasn't the women SIA archivists, Ellen Alers and Mary Markey, described in their posts. After giving a call over to SIA,. Once again, I’m reminded never to take any picture, or collection for that matter, at face value!
Nicely stated, Effie. The Science Service manuscripts, correspondence, and photographs stored throughout the Smithsonian represent mirrors (and, sometimes, broken or fragmented ones) of the organization, its purposes, and its values. As a news organization, Science Service simply saved and filed everything, including much that never saw publication…and that makes these records exceptionally valuable resources for historians of photography as well as of science and journalism. Those same records, especially Record Unit 7091, also reveal the organization’s unheralded but progressive attitudes toward women in both science and journalism, something perhaps related to its leadership. The first director of Science Service, Edwin Emery Slosson, was married to suffragist May Preston Slosson, the first woman to receive a Ph.D. from Cornell University, and when he substituted as a speaker for her at a January 11, 1910, suffrage rally, he received considerable newspaper coverage for the daring act. He was eulogized in 1929 as “a pioneer in advocating woman suffrage at a time when advocates of that doctrine were jeered and laughed at.” The organization’s second director, Watson Davis, hired and advanced the careers of many female science journalists, including Jane Stafford and Marjorie Van de Water (featured in the Smithsonian's Flickr images). Good historians look beneath and behind and under the obvious. Thank you for emphasizing that so well.) | http://www.siarchives.si.edu/blog/women-science-what-photos-say | 2013-05-18T10:40:15 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Trashy Art: San Francisco Artists Get Creative at the Dump
By Jake Richardson
January 21, 2012
SAN FRANCISCO, CA– Recology’s Artist in Residence program had an exhibition of recycled art made from materials scavenged from the San Francisco dump on January 20th and 21st. The featured artists were Ethan Estess, Terry Berlier, and Donna Anderson Kam.
Estess is studying marine conservation and communication at Stanford University and his art work focused on marine wildlife and ocean-related issues. Of particular note was his large whale tail covered in rope titled Last Dive of the Farallones: 100,000 Marine Mammals Killed Each Year. Another one of his sculptures features a toy shark completely entangled in fishing line. He says he wants his art to “create an emotional connection between people and the environment because once that connection is established, people can change their behavior.”
Terry Berlier is a visual artist and professor of art at Stanford.
“I came here in the spirit of experimentation, and that is necessary for communication when there is so much thrown away,” Berlier says.
She filled a shopping cart with sculptures she made from wet cement she found. The cement sculptures express the heaviness of personal consumption, both for shoppers and the environment. She also filled a birdcage with the cement in reference to a situation she read in Garbage Land from Colombia. One part of the book describes birds that became so obese from eating from a dump that they could no longer fly.
Berlier also made a musical device by connecting 88 piano keys on a recycled wooden spool and routing them through a laptop she also found in the dump. Electronic speakers sounded the notes when the keys were pressed.
Another one of her large sculptures was based on the historical design of an acoustic locator, which was a sound amplification device used typically in war times long ago. Her design, however, was associated with one used for listening to balloon ascents.
Donna Anderson Kam mainly works mainly with two-dimensional art, and most of her exhibited work was color drawings done in pastel, chalk and paper she found mixed into all the garbage in the facility. You wouldn’t know the source of the paper just from looking at her beautiful images. Some of them reference the collection of thrown away materials, in scenes such as a young man next to a pile of old rubber tires. Her series at the exhibition was titled “Little Hollywood.” She says the process of discovery and experimentation with the dump materials was like a fun game.
All of the art work by the three artists in residence could be shown in museums, and it might be effective to include their show, or part of it, in facilities such as Yerba Buena Gardens in San Francisco.
Recology will have more exhibitions by their artists in residence throughout the coming months.

Did you see the video of a Nintendo Wii being played on the tiny GBA screen? Some people cried foul and thought that it was a pre-recorded movie run off a Play-Yan or other movie playing cartridge. Actually, it’s real and this video takes away all of the magic because it’s just an adaptor that lets the GBA receive RGB inputs. With the Handy FamiEight the GBA can play anything making it a handy, but tiny portable monitor. | http://www.siliconera.com/2007/01/25/the-wii-on-a-gba-video-is-real-heres-how-to-do-it/ | 2013-05-18T10:54:07 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

We’re not saying this just because the blue-eyed, blond-haired Poison frontman won big on NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice 3” last year despite serious health problems. We’re saying it because, by all indications, Michaels should have been a musical footnote — and maybe even dead by now.
Why? Even with Aquanet anthems like “Talk Dirty To Me,” “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” and “Nothin’ But a Good Time,” Poison’s pop-metal alchemy never gained traction like that of peers Bon Jovi, and the band’s 1986-1993 Top-40-run peaked just in time for grunge to usurp the hard rock throne.
On top of that, Bret Michaels has logged legendary partying in spite of being a Type 1 Diabetes patient — an existence somewhere between foolish and thrill-seeking.
VH1 Presents: The Get Your Rock On Tour
When: 8 p.m. Saturday April 16
Where: St. George Theatre, 35 Hyatt St., St. George; 718-442-2900.
How much: Tickets are $29, $49, $69, and $79 at the box office and Ticketmaster.com.
More information: Visit StGeorgeTheatre.com and BretMichaels.com
If the 48-year-old entertainer can’t find a sequel to “Some-thing to Believe In” in there somewhere, we’ll write the darn thing for him.
Of course, Michaels may not need one — his sense of adventure and tenacity has developed into an enduring brand, which he’ll showcase April 16 at the historic St. George Theatre.
Between solo tunes and Poison hits (lest you forget, 30 million records sold worldwide), he will share stories from his life in the spotlight. Maybe he’ll detail being an unwilling celebrity sex tape pioneer with playmate Pamela Anderson, circa “Baywatch.” Or how he teamed up with Charlie “Winning” Sheen in the 1990s, to form a production company that made “A Letter From Death Row,” which Michaels produced, wrote, composed the soundtrack for and starred in.
Through an endless line of handkerchiefs and hats, Bret has brought his life to your living room and your liquor cabinet. We spoke to the enduring star about it all before his S.I. appearance.
Have you ever been here before?
I got a good story about coming to the Island. My Aunt Joanie and Uncle Don live in Staten Island. When I was a kid I used to come up there every Thanksgiving. It was that time of year when the leaves change and it’s a little bit cold in the air and all of our families would come together from Pittsburgh and New York — it was one of the best times of my life. We would go out to the lot across the street and play football, and I met a lot of great people when I was up there. This is my first time really playing the Island itself, so it’s going to be a really good experience.
Did you ever hook up with a girl from Staten Island?
I’m not gonna be a tell-all, but I will say that I have hooked up with a girl from the Island. It was a wonderful, wonderful experience. It was early in my career and it lasted for many years. We’ve remained friends ever since, and she’s gotten married and stuff, so it’s not the same, but for years it was a tremendously awesome hookup. A very beautiful Italian girl. She comes to a lot of the shows, and brings her husband, and we all have a good laugh about it. She even met my uncle Don, so it was good. She was part of the family.
I want to put this in perspective for people. When Poison or Bret Michaels has a stage show, we have moving lights, we have trussers, riggers, and two fire marshals. I want to rock, but I don’t want anyone getting hurt or killed. I was thankful to be on the show. I was doing everything that I should have done, but I hadn’t cleared the stage. The safety measure was not in place. You’re going to be the first person here to really tell the truth, and this is it: They could have easily stopped that wall from coming down for another five seconds. It cracked my face and knocked me out. They had a three-to-seven second delay. They could have chosen not to show the incident. But they chose to show it, and then made jokes for the rest of the show before they ever really found out if I was dead. They got ratings out of it; they had a bazillion producers and not one of them called to slow the wall down. I didn’t want any of this to be like this. I said to them, “Look, you have insurance. Cover some of the tour dates I missed,” and I even put out a really nice statement about the Tonys. I didn’t even bitch, and made it so easy to settle this, and they told me to go (bleep) myself. I’m talking about the Tony producers, not CBS. I think the public needs to know they were on a delay and they chose to show it anyway. My grandmother could have known to stop that wall from coming down.
You and Charlie Sheen owned a film production company together. What’s your take on his recent antics?
Charlie and I both have places out near each other in the Southern California area. Years ago we became friends through a “Penthouse” pet that both of us had dated at different times. He’s a sports fanatic like I am, and he was one of the coolest guys I’ve ever met. A lot of times you meet people but it doesn’t last long — you might see them a few years later. But Charlie and I hit it off, we like to party and became good friends. In fact, I hear that in his live routine he uses a couple of our Super Bowl moments together, when we threw down. As you know, the entertainment industry is a crazy, cutthroat industry — the greatest and the sleaziest all mixed up into one. Me personally, I think he’s just blowing off a bunch of steam, and who am I to judge? I’m the last person to cast a stone if you know what I’m getting at. I’ve seen him as a father; he’s a good dad. After my brain hemorrhage he was one of the first people to reach out to me and wish me well.
I have friends who suffer from long-term and terminal illness, and yet they are some of the wildest people I know. Do your illnesses drive you to push the envelope harder?
That is a great question and no one has ever asked me it that way. Part of me wants to be a really positive guy. I get up, I take four (insulin) shots a day since I was 6 years old. I check my blood eight times a day. But at the same time I’m a guy who works hard and plays harder. I know that some times that’s going to have an effect on my life, but you’ve also got to live your life. What saved me after my brain hemorrhage was going out on the road two months later. I’d been in an ICU unit, I almost died from sepsis. Then I had a (bleeping) brain hemorrhage. For me to sit around and dwell on the negative, I’m going to become a mental, emotional casualty. Sometimes inside of us there is a little bit of “live like you’re dying” attitude, and a little bit of anger. I’m out playing football today and my blood sugar started dropping on me. I’m checking my blood, and saying to myself how nice it would be to one day just not take any of these shots and not to check my blood. But instead of being angry and taking it out on the world, I put it into my music.
I think in this day and age a lot of barriers have been broken down. I’m on the road with the New York Dolls and all of a sudden I’m going to be out on the road with Toby Keith. I think that the world of music used to be a lot more segregated. The New York Dolls had some balls-out great riffs. It’s their 40th anniversary, for Poison it’s our 25th, for Motley, it’s their 30th. Those Dolls riffs influenced a lot of bands. Nikki Sixx is a huge Dolls fan. Our drummer, Rikki Rockett, is a huge fan. CC (Deville) is from Brooklyn and The Ramones and the Dolls were huge influences on him. When you get four different personalities in a band, it’s great, and when it derails, it’s horrible. We’ve had knock-down fist fights on stage, and it’s part of that chemistry and magic. I think it’s going to be an unbelievable bill.
Everybody these days uses the word “branding.” That’s a funny word to me. I’ve just picked out fun things for me to do. I started out making music videos, directing, writing and storyboarding, and then I was doing feature films with Sheen/Michaels Entertainment. It’s part of just being creative. My first thing was “Nashville Star,” which I did when I was living out in Nashville. When I first got offered “Rock of Love,” the real truth is I turned it down. They came to me with this novelty kind of idea, a very retro-novelty “Rock of Love.” I wanted to pay it forward, to work with my fans still traveling with me. I took a list that I hand wrote, and said this is what I want to do. Let me be who I am and be real, do my own thing. Don’t produce me dating these girls, let me really date them. If it goes great, great. If it sucks, it sucks. It ended up being their highest-rated show ever for three seasons.
So you won “Celebrity Apprentice 3” after working for Donald Trump, and he’s recently announced he may be running for president. How do you think Mr. Trump would be as the CEO of America?
Speaking of the economy, what can ticket-buyers expect from your S.I. show, and what are you looking forward to later this year?
It consists of all the Poison hits, the solo stuff, and some great cover songs. It’s a real party. You get a full-blown rock show. But I also get a chance to break down the songs a bit and tell stories, so it’s cool. One of the best stories on the show for me is “Every Rose Has Its Thorn,” which I wrote in a Laundromat. I say, “This is one of my most beautiful and romantic songs that I wrote in a Laundromat waiting for my clothes to dry when my girlfriend broke my heart.” I’m really looking forward to the “Bret Michaels Super Cruise” this November, which is going to be a great time. People go to a lot of celebrity cruises and find that the celebrity isn’t there much — not with me. I’ll be there at the bar, hanging out. And some lucky person gets to go home with my Lincoln Navigator when it’s all over.
Do you ever get tired fans calling to hear the hits? Is there any song you never want to sing again?
Every musician has a different feeling about a song they love or what they did. Oddly enough for me, with all the songs whether Poison or solo stuff, I feel blessed that I’ve been able to do what I love and live out my dream for 25 years. I never get sick of playing them. A lot of musicians don’t feel that way, and I get it, I can understand why. But I keep it fresh for me. | http://www.silive.com/entertainment/music/index.ssf/2011/04/post_50.html | 2013-05-18T10:34:33 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

NEW BRIGHTON
Unlike most mainstream entertainment critics, I must say I was not a bit surprised when I heard that jazz bassist and singer Esperanza Spalding won Best New Artist at the last edition of the Grammy Awards.
Sure, she was up against two artists who have a huge following and all, but I had a feeling that this nomination was not just a simple nod to jazz — it was recognition that Spalding is a rising star in the music scene, and also an incredibly talented and charismatic personality.
I first heard about Spalding a couple of years back when I saw a Billboard promo DVD that labeled her as a talent to watch. This was months before her self-titled CD (Telarc) came out in 2008. The moment I listened to her songs, I knew she was the kind of musician that appears once in a lifetime — both her phrasing on the bass and her approach to the songs mesmerized me from the first notes of her version of Jobim’s "Samba em Preludio," which she sang in Portuguese accompanied solely by her acoustic bass.
Of course, the moment she got her Grammy, pop music journalists reported about it with certain disdain. I recall reading critics saying that the award went to the ‘little known’ (Entertainment Weekly) and ‘worse-selling’ (Daily News) bassist. Justin Bieber fans were completely dismayed, and more recently music exec Steve Souter took a full-page ad in The New York Times criticizing this year’s Grammy choices.
Mr. Souter probably has not had the opportunity to hear Spalding on stage. Her expertise and charm grasps everyone’s attention immediately. I remember seeing her at Summerstage in 2009, when she opened for neo-soul and jazz singer Ledisi. Before she went on, I heard many people wondering who she was. By the time her set was over, Ledisi knew she really had to rock, since Spalding had virtually won everyone over with her opening spot.
Her charm is undeniable even when she’s not the center of attention. Last spring, our paths crossed during a contemporary music concert at Americas Society on Park Avenue (one of the performers was a friend of hers), and I had the opportunity to chat with her – she talked with enthusiasm about the then-unreleased Chamber Music Society and her other projects. She didn’t sound jaded at all, and she talked to me with the warmth of a friend.
I think Esperanza Spalding is part of a new generation that will change jazz as we know it. Sure, there other cats moving things in this ‘dead’ genre — pianists Eldar and Robert Glasper are two that come to mind offhand as I write. Bieliebers and Drake fans might disagree with me, but Spalding might be the push that jazz needs to make a comeback. Don’t be surprised if she is playing stadiums in the future in the same manner that Return to Forever did four decades ago | http://www.silive.com/opinion/letters/index.ssf/2011/02/esperanza_spalding_is_rising_s.html | 2013-05-18T10:12:35 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

When Windows Phone 7 has been presented to the market, the very first aspect that taken the attention of the people were the tiles on the start screen. In those days I heard lot of comments on the argument, typically very positive or dramatically negative, but no matter if you like or hate them, there is not any doubt that tiles have been a key choice to give a remarkable differentiation from other existing platforms.
All SilverlightShow Ebooks
Windows 8 and the so-called metro-style interface, fully embraces and empowers the paradigm of tiles, replacing the old start menu with a start screen that make room to a wide number of tiles, especially targeted to the needs of the RT version of the operating system but equally present in the full version. One of the extension of the tile system in Windows 8 are badges, a parallel and tangent system that slightly intersects the tiles presenting special notifications on its surface, but that may also work on the main lock screen.
If tiles were only shortcuts to start an application, they does not differ a lot from a usual item in the start menu or in the main screen of another mobile platform. But tiles are strictly connected with two import concepts: notification and information. The first states that a tile is something of “connected” and is able to receive messages from the network or from background processes that change its aspect and content. On the other side a tile is also an information point that put on the start screen information the is usually handled by the target application but is important to the final user.
What is known for sure is that an application has at least a tile. This has to be declared in the app manifest and usually is a square of 150x150 pixels. Most of the times, if the tile is something more than a shortcut from the point of view of the application, it may also have a “wide” tile that is 310x150 pixels. To provide a tile to the app you have simply to fill a number of fields in the Package.appxmanifest file being very respectful of the required sizes.
The main tile is the very first entry point of the application but, after being run at least on time, it is able to spin-off a number of secondary tiles. A secondary tile has exactly the same features of the main and is able to start the application passing specific parameters that helps developers to identify a scope. A secondary tile may represents a category of news, an album of photos, a pinned location and so on. The addition of the secondary tile is ruled by the user that must confirm the action. Finally when the application is uninstalled the secondary tiles are also removed.
To add a secondary tile you may use the SecondaryTile class. A secondary tile has an id that is useful to refer to the same tile for update purposes:
1: Uri logo = new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/square.png");
2: Uri wideLogo = new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/wide.png");
3:
4: string args = "Argument=Silverlight";
5:
6: SecondaryTile secondaryTile = new SecondaryTile(
7: THE_TILE_ID, "XeDotNet: Silverlight", "Meetings about Silverlight", args,
8: TileOptions.ShowNameOnLogo | TileOptions.ShowNameOnWideLogo, logo, wideLogo);
9:
10: bool isPinned = await secondaryTile.RequestCreateForSelectionAsync(
11: BlankPage1.GetElementRect((FrameworkElement)sender),
12: Windows.UI.Popups.Placement.Default);
With the SecondaryTile class you can tune almost everything on the aspect of the tile. The tile asks for a title, presented on the tile surface, a description, an argument set expressed as a string and two images, one for the square aspect and the other for the wide aspect. The TileOptions enumerator let you change the appearance of the tile.
When the RequestCreateForSelectionAsync method is called the user is presented with a popup that asks a confirmation before to add the tile. If the user accept the tile is added but if he clicks outside of the popup the tile is not added.
Important to know is the use of the arguments passed to the tile constructor. This argument is received by the OnLaunched event in the App.xaml.cs file. Thanks to it you can redirect the application to specific pages answering the request of the user to navigate to the information displayed by the tile.
1: protected async override void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs args)
2: {
3: var rootFrame = new Frame();
4:
5: if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(args.Arguments))
6: rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(DetailPage), args.Arguments);
7: else
8: rootFrame.Navigate(typeof(MainPage));
10: Window.Current.Content = rootFrame;
11: }
Regular tiles and secondary tiles are not something of static. If the developer needs to display something of new from the running application, he can send a “message” to the tile using a well-known xml format. The xml allows to send both the tile formats at the same time but only one version for each is accepted. In the following example the xml represents an update for wide and square format at the same time:
1: <tile>
2: <visual>
3: <binding template='TileSquareText04'>
4: <text id='1'>This updates the square tile</text>
5: </binding>
6: <binding template='TileWideText03'>
7: <text id='1'>This updates the wide tile</text>
8: </binding>
9: </visual>
10: </tile>
1: private TileNotification CreateNotification()
3: XDocument document = new XDocument(
4: new XElement("tile",
5: new XElement("visual",
6: new XElement("binding",
7: new XAttribute("template", "TileSquareImage"),
8: new XElement("image",
9: new XAttribute("id", 1),
10: new XAttribute("src", "/Assets/boschin-square.jpg"),
11: new XAttribute("alt", "Andrea Boschin"))),
12:
13: new XElement("binding",
14: new XAttribute("template", "TileWideSmallImageAndText05"),
15: new XElement("image",
16: new XAttribute("id", 1),
17: new XAttribute("src", "/Assets/boschin-square.jpg"),
18: new XAttribute("alt", "Andrea Boschin")),
19: new XElement("text",
20: new XAttribute("id", 1),
21: new XText("Andrea Boschin")),
22: new XElement("text",
23: new XAttribute("id", 2),
24: new XText("MVP Silverlight"))))));
25:
26: XmlDocument xml = ToXmlDocument(document);
27:
28: TileNotification notification = new TileNotification(xml);
29: return notification;
30: }
1: private void bUpdatePrimary_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
3: TileNotification notification = CreateNotification();
4: TileUpdater updater = TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication();
5: updater.Update(notification);
6: }
7:
8: private void bUpdateSecondary_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
9: {
10: TileNotification notification = CreateNotification();
11: TileUpdater updater = TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForSecondaryTile(THE_TILE_ID);
12: updater.Update(notification);
13: }
If you need to dynamically generate your templates, the TileUpdateManager together with the TileTemplateType enumeration let you retrieve a template for each notification type. This way you can fill the template with your values and forget about the generation of XML. To retrieve the template you can use the following:
1: TileTemplateType tileTemplate = TileTemplateType.TileWideText03;
2: XmlDocument xml = TileUpdateManager.GetTemplateContent(tileTemplate);
When the xml has been updated you can create the notification and send it as explained before.
If you watch at the start screen, in a few you’ll understand that there is a missing scenario left. Lot of times applications are able to roll a number of messages in a single tile, and this works also if the application has not been started. What you are seeing is called “Update notification queue”. It is a scenario where tile manages a queue of up to 5 notifications that are rolled in a random order. The notification queue is a feature that usually is switched off by default and need to be activated. To activate the queue you have to send a single message to the TileUpdater as shown here:
1: TileUpdater updater = TileUpdateManager.CreateTileUpdaterForApplication();
2: updater.EnableNotificationQueue(true);
Obviously you can send the same notification to the primary or to the secondary tiles and each one will be able to manage up to five notifications. After the queue has been enabled the notifications sent to the tile does not overwrite the previous but are enqueued. When the 5 notification limit is reached the older notification is removed and replaced by the new one. At this point the tile works rolling the notifications. Here is an example:
4: TileNotification notification1 = CreateNotification("Andrea Boschin");
5: notification1.Tag = "NAME";
6: updater.Update(notification1);
8: TileNotification notification2 = CreateNotification("MVP Silverlight");
9: notification2.Tag = "EXPERTISE";
10: updater.Update(notification2);
11:
12: TileNotification notification3 = CreateNotification("Metro Insider");
13: notification3.Tag = "OTHER";
14: updater.Update(notification3);
In this sample I’ve also assigned a TAG to each notification. Using the tag property enable the updating system to replace items in the queue. If you send notification with the same tag the latest will replace the previous if it is present in the queue. There is a number of ways to manage the tag. If you associate the tag to a group, you are able to manage each of the five notification in the queue separately and give to the user a better experience. A “group” may be a category of products, a topic, a location and other type of identifiers that can restrict the scope of your information.
Updating a tile from inside the application running is for sure useful, but as you may understand the real advantage of tiles comes when you are able to update the tile from a background task or for something that happen on the network. Since the first scenario is still simple, given that you have a number of ways to start background tasks, the second type is much more complicated and involves the use of push notification. Both the arguments go out of the topic of the article and they will discussed in the following numbers, but be sure that these scenario are something that make metro-style application something of great. | http://www.silverlightshow.net/items/Windows-8-Metro-Using-tiles-to-power-up-your-application.aspx?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+silverlightshow+%28SilverlightShow%3A+Silverlight+Community%29 | 2013-05-18T11:05:41 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

PENETANGUISHENE – In a gymnasium full of students ranging in age from eight to 13, Mike Neuts didn’t have to raise his voice to be heard.
The Chatham resident’s audience – an age group normally prone to restlessness and horseplay – sat silently and respectfully as he shared the story of his 10-year-old son’s death in a bullying incident nearly 15 years ago.
“Every parent’s worst nightmare,” Neuts said, recalling the moment he and wife Brenda saw their son Myles on life support in hospital. “We sat down and begged him to wake up.”
Tragically, he never did.
But his death, and the lessons learned by Neuts in the subsequent years, eventually fostered in the birth of Make Children Better Now, a non-profit foundation devoted to the betterment of children’s lives.
It was the foundation’s work that brought Neuts to Burkevale Protestant Separate School in Penetanguishene on Nov. 23, the final day of Bullying Awareness Week. Students from St. Ann’s School and Canadian Martyrs School were also invited to attend the presentation.
Neuts has visited 23 schools since the beginning of September. Although the students he addresses are unfamiliar with his story, teachers and school officials are old enough to remember the national headlines about Myles’s death and the subsequent police investigation.
During the lunch hour on Feb. 6, 1998, the fifth-grader was found hanging from his shirt collar on a coat hook in a school washroom. He was rushed to hospital, but doctors soon informed his parents that he had suffered irreversible brain damage.
A coroner’s inquest eventually ruled the cause of death as undetermined, but Neuts said the evidence has led him to believe a 12-year-old boy hung Myles from the hook and watched him slowly strangle.
Neuts stressed that school should be a place where children learn, have fun and make friends, not a place where they are bullied or made to feel afraid because they are different in some way.
“You have the right to be who you are; you have the right to be different,” he said. “And the world is not boring because of that.”
Speaking with one boy after his presentation, Neuts told the youngster the pain of his loss is always present, but talking to children about ending the “disgusting” practice of bullying is a way of dealing with his grief.
“I will do everything I can to change the world for you,” he said. “But I need your help.”
Grade 8 students Maddie Crowe, Miriam Robitaille and Chris Fox, all 13 years old, agreed the emotional presentation made an impact.
“I learned that there are a lot of people who stand by and watch (bullying),” said Maddie, who added she will never again be a bystander.
“Bullying is a cruel thing,” said Miriam. “I don’t understand why people bully.”
“Bullying can happen in so many ways,” said Chris. “What kids think is harmless is actually really harmful.”
Principal Tim Mallon appeared to become choked up as he thanked Neuts for sharing his heartbreaking tale.
“Whether you are young or old, you know bullying is wrong,” said Mallon. “Sometimes it takes someone like Mike to jar us into realizing (it).” | http://www.simcoe.com/community-story/2068181-father-s-tragic-loss-shared-with-students/ | 2013-05-18T10:53:13 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The RO job is hard work, but together in parallel with the CEO and/or the BOD, they can save a business. We have discovered that companies can be saved whether they are declining in revenue, growing or experiencing flat sales. A good RO/CEO partnership is the best solution for the company in turmoil.
The management of most companies has never been through a crisis before. There are important steps to follow in buying time, stabilizing the work force and keeping the sources of capital informed in a way that enables them to be supportive. | http://www.simoncritchell.com/?q=contact | 2013-05-18T10:13:10 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

This is a modern twist on the traditional Spanish preparation of spinach or chard in adobo. Basically, it's a quick stir-fry.
It is important to carefully dry the spinach before cooking it or else there will be too much liquid in the dish. Otherwise this is easy, and the spinach retains a pleasant bite that boiled spinach lacks.
Ingredients
1 bunch of spinach, or a bag of fresh spinach, washed and carefully dried
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 teaspoons of wine vinegar
1 clove of garlic, sliced
1/2 a teaspoon of pimentón de La Vera
salt
In a large pan, saute the garlic in the olive oil. Before the garlic takes on color, remove the pan from the heat and let the oil cool some. Add the pimentón and stir.
Add the spinach. Sprinkle it with salt. Toss it with the olive oil and garlic until the leaves are coated.
Return the pan to high heat. Stir-fry the spinach until it's just wilted.
Put the spinach on a serving dish. Toss it with the vinegar.
Serve spinach in adobo as a side dish or as vegetarian tapa. | http://www.simplespanishfood.com/appetizers-pinchos-a-picar/page/3/ | 2013-05-18T10:40:56 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

It's quite common, kids not only fall sick when they attend childcare. Sometimes, they get virus from shopping malls and other environment. Basically, their immune system is not fully developed yet.
My mom put some cordyceps into DD's porridge ocassionally - to boost her lungs. I serve DD Sambucol 2-3 times a week to boost up her immune system. When see that she's coming down with flu, then gave her stronger dosage. It's actually stop the cold/flu in developing further.

Sambucol is available at Vitakids. I find that giving my daughter Childlife Colustrum (with Probiotics), Childlife Multivitamins and Nordic Naturals DHA since she's a bb is helpful. So far, only sick 2 times, now 18 mths.

Hi,
My gal who is coming to 3YO next Feb also keeps falling sick! Aiyo, she can cough for 1 week, okay for 2 weeks, and start coughing again out of the blue.
I get so tired and sick as well, really pity her. We have a nebuliser at home whc she uses when she starts to wheeze.. and she hasnt started Childcare. I cant imagine her health when she really starts CC, whc shld be either next mth or come January.
Heard abt Sambucol for the longest time. Does it really help?
Pls advise. thanks.

my kids used to fall sick very often too! my advice ... bring them for TCM massage.
son used to be skinny since young, and got very sensitive nose, fall sick every month and immune system poor. started him with TCM massage since he was 2 yrs plus. condition improves, starting to put on weight about 1.5 yrs after i started him with the TCM massage. now he is in P1, eating well, growing well and fall sick less often. even if sick also recovers fast.
now my little 2 yrs plus, also bring her for the TCM massage.
believe me ... the TCM massage thing works miracle. i also see malays, indians and even angmohs bringing their kids for this TCM massage.
mommies out there, dnt hestitate anymore, if ur kids fall sick very often, bring them for TCM massage.

Hi KC,
If you can afford, I think it's good to go on a regularly basis to at least build up your kid's immune system. I think it's worthwhile lor.
I know it's far, I myself is staying in Woodlands and travel there once a week for my little girls massage session. :-)

My boy also fall sick almost every month ever since he started his nursery. I thought this is common to have cough and running nose.
I had tried to feed him fish oil but don't seems to work.
Do let me know if you have any recommendation to boost up his immune system and health.

Hi,
My younger gal who has in childcare since last year dec till now, but she seldom falls sick. Not like her sister who almost every week sick. I let her take Mannabear from Mannatech brand. Both my gals take it for 1 month & their appetite improves & get healthy.
My younger gal is allergy to dairy products since born & she has been on isomil milk. Whenever she eats cream cake, pizza etc, she will have diarrhao & stomach upset.
But after she takes mannabear for 1 month, during her birthday celebration, we let her eat cake & pizza, she does not encounter any diarrhao & stomach upset. Now, we are very happy as when we want to eat pizza, she also can eat unlike last time we have to consider her problem.
If anyone interested to know more of this product, can pm me or email me @
angela_siah@yahoo.com.sg
for more information.

My bb gal also keep falling sick since she is about 9months old. we went to this doc who prescribe a syrup for her that contains vit c and zinc. its suppose to booast her immune system. She dun catch flu bug that easily after taking the first bottle. I am feeding her the second bottle now.
I rather buy from a clinic than to go to GNC or watson to buy vitamin for kids.
i dun have the name of the vitamin now but maybe i will check and post it here.

When a child grow older 6yrs & above, they will have better immune & not easily fall sick.
However, the most important thing is how fast can they recover. If they hv stronger body, they recover faster e.g a flu & cough can last from 1weeks or 1mth.
Therefore, it is good to consistently give multi Vit to bulit strong foundation till they old.

My elder one is 2yo n younger one is 1yo. My 2 started to fall sick quite frequently since they were few mths old. But it worsens these 2 mths. It's like every other wk.
Normally I'll add carrots n broccoli into their porridge. But I stop giving them fruits ever since they start to cough badly last mth.

Hi Peggy,
not to worry yet if it starts worsen only recently to every other week. you start to give warm water,warm soup and even double boil apple soup with meat bones or fish bones,meat. still can remedy fast.
Mine has been sick every two weeks for the past two years tgat i only recently start to realise multivit,warm drink,double soup,etc will help.

Hi mummies,
Giving ur child soup is a very good choice.
Yes, its true they need water, but not too much a day too as its causes more air in their stomach. When they are having dinner, either rice or porrige, give them a bowl of soup instead of water, u actually find that they eat more.
This is taught by my baby doc, I did that for both my child since 6-mths when they start having solid. I gave them abt 30ml-60ml of water abt 30-mins later after meal.
During meal, I only gave them a bowl of soup instead.
Advoid too much yakult/vitagen/ribena as they causes alot of phelgm. U can give them just once a week will do.
Very simple soup is already very nutritious for them, boil them with pork bones, chicken neck, fish bones.
Pear tea with honey is good for cough.
Just boil water with some pear(SHUI LI) and add small pcs honey rock sugar for 30-mins, cool to warm n let them drink.
Only child after 1-yrs old can add honey, if bb is below 1-yrs old, just boil the pear for them to drink as fluid. 1-2 times a week is perfect.
Hopes these helps!!

For manuka honey, you need to check if it is registered under UMF Honey Association in NZ so that you can be sure that the UMF is as it claims.

Children nowadays are more prone to flu/viral infections for various reasons, including a lack of nutritional diet. How many children actually take fruits and vegetables on a daily basis? Thats why is a must for my children to be on dietary supplements, good and safe from Pharmanex, This is what i give them daily, jungamal, marine omega,probio and G3. When they fall sick, I will quickly add colostrum.

My little girl actually falls sick every month since small as she is attending the infant care. Ask doctor but was told "Your little girl will stop falling sick if you reduce family size (I live in a 4 generations family house), stop work and take care of girl myself".
Why your gal still falls sick when she is not in CC, I don't really know. Can be due to your lifestyle. Even though your girl is not going CC, she is going out often? Your family size is as big as mine? Diet not good enough since she may be picky eater?
I let (and sometime forces) my little girl to eat vegetables every meal for every single day. PDs don't advise supplements "tablets" if possible.
Another thing I also find that may also have helped with my girl's immune system is this supplement that we had started in the family.
Google "4Life" and read about their supplements. I can said that it works really well for the whole family. It is some sort of colostrum as well.
However, you can also run the risk of your immune system being so super that it will reject other people's blood in blood transfusion. Thus my husband has stopped my little girl from eating it after 3 bottles lasting 1 year. | http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/cgi-bin/forumboard/show.cgi?tpc=5&post=11948732 | 2013-05-18T10:22:30 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
April,
I don’t mean to come on here and rebuke you because I’m aware that I don’t know your story or what you’ve been through, but I do want to make a quick comment about a prejudice I often see towards fathers. I am a double parent to my 4 year old daughter – her mother has done many of the things that I see attributed to fathers on this website – which is why I feel at home here.
When people ask if I’m a single father I often tell them, ‘No, I’m a single mother’ – I usually explain that there are stereotypes associated with both roles and that I fit better into the single mother stereotype. I do everything for my little girl – and, yes I know to send her to daycare in clean well-maintained clothing and shoes (without having taken a night class on the subject).I also know how to braid her hair, paint get nails, match outfits and keep a clean household – I’m a teacher if you’re curious.
And, though I realize that I’m the minority, it’s still somewhat discouraging to see this gender based stereotype so often – especially in articles like this one that are otherwise so positive and self affirming.
I will continue to frequent this site, and I hope to read a lot more from you in the future, but – I guess I just wanted to let you know that there are exceptions to every rule.
I belive you, because I witnessed someone like you. It was not my own father, or the father of my children, or any other random men. It was my the father of my husband…..the best father i have ever seen, or been with. It’s a shame, that just because I’m not with his son anymore, i had to cut my ties with the best dad-figure i ever had…..I know men like him exist, but i also know that they are exceptionals. HATS OFF TO YOU!
Hi Justin,
Sorry I am only seeing this now and replying so late.
I so understand how you felt when you read my articles, and I commend you for being such a wonderful father. As you said, you are in the minority and my experience is not only based on my personal history but I worked many years in a daycare. But let’s leave it at that, it does not take away from the thousands of fathers out there who are devoted and conscious of a child’s needs. I am so sorry I ignored to mention them in my article.
Please, yes, by all means, continue to read the articles here and I will keep your comment in mind next time I feel like lashing out. Gender-based remarks are unfair, I know that and should remember that, because I am raising a son… So, thank you very much for this comment, you taught me a lesson. I wish you a lovely day. April. | http://www.singlemom.com/not-single-mom-but-double-parent/comment-page-1/ | 2013-05-18T10:31:05 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

I am continuing my thread series.
This will discuss ONLY the vehicle in the title of the thread (in this case Teemto Pagales' Podracer Teemto Pagales' Podracer?
This racer is one of the limited number of racers you see in The Phantom Menace actually involved in a higher level of action - besides the racing.
When a Tusken Raider shoots Teemto's podracer, the craft breaks up rather fatally.
Here is a chance for two action features on the toy: One engine could "explode" into several pieces, and the circular pod that Teemto rides in could be set to spin forward over the engines and roll to a spin out with Teemto aboard - or being ejected during the process.
Teemto's action figure is also already made (Saga 2002) so I think this was a good racer to poll for next.
TPM is nearly out of options and all the podracers will not be polled for - but there were certain ones that saw a higher level of involvement in the screen shots. Teemto's is one of them.
The vehicle would come out in the $24 starfighter assortment. It is assumed that Anakin's and Sebulba's podracers would see a re-release before more obscure characters' pods are released.
The battlepack option would doubtfully ever include more than 3 podracers, so an option you could support is Teemto's racer being included with Anakin's and Sebulba's - or at least one.
I'd pack two pods per ultimate battlepack, and split up Anakin's and Sebulba's so you have 2 separate sales in order to get both the principals - not to mention opportunities to do two more pods.
So do you want Teemto Pagales' Podracer Vehicle made?
What other features would you want on it?
Why would you NOT want it?
How do you think it would sell if produced?

Blocking, banning, and blacklisting (Part 2)
Only tyrants require dungeons
In a previous post I shared a few concerns about how mass-blocking on Twitter may lead to less speech, less intellectual diversity, less productive disagreement, and therefore less skepticism in practice. Today, I’d like to share my concerns about banning people from comment-enabled blogs and other relatively public forums.
Firstly, a concession. Banning may be necessary to further the goals of a given site, and this may be true even when that site is intended to maximize interaction and minimize moderation. I don’t know of any atheist or skeptic blogs which welcome Dennis Markuze, for example. If the site is intended as a ‘safe space’ wherein everyone assents to a certain set of propositions, then banning may be necessary to maintain the integrity of the space. For example, I would fully expect to be banned by a site intended solely to foster discussions between single Muslims, or gay Christians, or agnostic anarchists, for I am none of these things. I used to moderate a forum intended solely for Oklahoma Atheists, and at the time I’d have been pretty much unsympathetic to anyone who became ‘born again’ and moved to Texas.
Given that banning is sometimes necessary, we also have to admit that it can be unnecessary, especially when it it the result of arbitrary and capricious moderation, personal beefs, or irrational discrimination. If, for example, I was running a forum dedicated to open discussion of American politics, it would be arbitrary for me to exclude discussions about the efficacy and morality of the Drug War. If I was running a blog generally about skepticism, it would be arbitrary for me to disallow discussions about any topics which are amenable to the process of scientific or methodological skepticism. If I was modding at JREFF, it would be entirely improper for me to ban someone merely because I’ve had nasty run-ins with them elsewhere.
Given that too much banning will probably have the unfortunate effects as too much blocking, how then do we strike a proper balance? I don’t know the answer, but I’d like to propose a few ideas for consideration:
1) No drama from other spaces – This is similar to the ‘Reset rule’ from Pharyngula, except that I really mean it. I will not assume that because someone acts a certain way at the pub or the football, that they are going to act the same way at a symposium or a funeral. Most people manage to adjust their sense of decorum to the environment in which they find themselves at the time, and therefore people should be judged on how well they comport themselves in any given situation.
2) No guilt by association – Each individual should be judged by their own actions, nothing more nor less. If I hear that you’ve been posting at some truly horrible place like Stormfront, I’m going to at least check to see whether you were trolling them or otherwise trying to make them think. If you’ve been posting in a very lightly moderated space like or, I’m not going to judge you by the people you interact with but rather by your own words in those interactions.
3) No single-strike rules – Everyone deserves a warning, a reminder of the ground rules, and a second chance to live up them. Maybe even a third, if they are conciliatory about it. Except on Facebook, of course, because some cyberspaces should be treated more like living rooms than public greens. If you cannot behave in my living room, then just GTFO.
4) No banning for disagreement per se – No matter how ridiculous your ideas are, I’ll try to tell you why I think you’re wrong. Even if you’re a racist going on about succession, or a creationist going on about your holy writ, I’ll give it a go so long as you can be polite about it.
5) No double-standards – Cyberspaces such as Atheism Plus and Pharyngula are famous for having one set of standards for the in-group and a vastly more stringent set of rules for noobs and outsiders. This is counterproductive for anyone who wants to avert groupthink in favor of genuine skepticism.
6) No pile-ons - Probably the most disgusting thing I’ve seen on the internet is the attempted enforcement of prevailing group norms by piling on and abusing newbies until they lose their shit and get banned. This is a ridiculous school-ground tactic, completely unfit for skeptics who claim to love truth above all.
Those are just a few suggestions to level the field of ideas. Your thoughts? | http://www.skepticink.com/backgroundprobability/2013/03/10/bbb2/ | 2013-05-18T10:21:57 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Today, around 600 students are heading out into the greater Kansas City area to perform community service. It’s been a long week and Friday is their only day to rest. But instead of hanging around the pool or sleeping in, this group of SkillsUSA Champions are giving back to the community. That’s the kind of young people we have in SkillsUSA. We are grateful to Timberland PRO for leading these service projects.
SkillsUSA University will be wrapping up today and the delegates will have their last meetings and cast their final ballots for the students who will represent them on the national level in the coming year.
Tonight, it’s back to Kemper arena for the Awards Ceremony, sponsored by Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. We will be honored to hear from Joseph Galli, Jr., the chief executive officer for TTI. The winner of the Harley Raffle will be announced and the new national officers will be sworn in. And the National SkillsUSA Champions will receive their gold, silver and bronze medals.
Awards Ceremony tickets are available at the booth outside of 2103A in Bartle Hall and cost $10. They will also be available for purchase at Kemper Arena.

Cloudy Sky – Watercolour on scrap paper
Whenever I cannot find subjects to paint I follow the old adage, “Paint a sky a day”. This statement is attributed to Alfred East although Turner did this and John Constable, who was THE master of skies, certainly must have practised this.
This is one of 15 small skies I did this rainy afternoon. I’m trying to paint with a selection of water-brushes and am just about getting the feel of the different sizes. It helps to have great music to fill the room – everything from Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby to Battlefield Band. Life is good! | http://www.skineart.com/art/tag/sky/page/2/ | 2013-05-18T10:12:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
I've enjoyed skiing Park City Mountain Resort this past season. If there was one thing I'd change it would be to improve the uphill capacity from the base. They must have been reading my mind.
On Wednesday they announced $10.5 million in improvements for the 2008-09 winter season including a new high-speed chairlift, terrain enhancements and renovation of the Mid-Mountain Lodge.
The new high-speed quad chair lift, Crescent lift, will replace and realign the existing Ski Team fixed-grip double chairlift. Unlike the existing lift, which begins several hundred yards uphill from the main base area along the Homerun trail, the new lift will begin near the base of the ski resort and extend to Crescent Ridge, also known as Ski Team Ridge. The new lift will lessen the load on the PayDay high-speed six-pack lift during peak times, and provide increased access to the ski area's front-side runs, which are some of the resort’s best advanced ski terrain. The new lift takes guests almost twice as far as the existing Ski Team lift and in less time. In addition, the new lift will provide access to a majority of the resort and direct access to lifts including Silverlode, Bonanza, King Con, PayDay, Town, Pioneer and McConkey’s.
I'm already looking forward to the first day of riding the Crescent lift next season!

Video: Chris Thomas @ adidas Super 64
We’ve seen Chris Thomas hoop more than most, and we’re convinced he has the talent to top the Class of 2013. The rising sophomore gets to the cup with laughable ease and cans threes like he was born to make it reign. This summer, he’s buoyed himself to five-star designations and top-5 statuses in every national recruiting service’s rankings (including SLAMonline’s upcoming Fresh 10).
The Denver native is without question Colorado’s most hyped prospect since Chauncey Billups. He’s already been offered scholarships by Ohio State, Michigan State, Arizona and California, with Tennessee allegedly his current top choice. If he wants to put in the work, the sky’s the limit.

The first-ever E.A.T. Utah Showcase was filled with intensity and competition, making for an exciting weekend of basketball in downtown Salt Lake City.
Although the state’s most well-known recruits—namely, the BYU-bound triumvirate of Nick Emery, Eric Mika and TJ Haws—couldn’t attend due to a prior obligation, the hoops-heavy event still featured some of the best high school talent in Utah.
Organized by Elite Athletic Training (E.A.T.) Basketball, the showcase commenced last Friday night at Orem High School, where players—ranging from the Class of 2013 (12th graders) all the way through the Class of 2017 (8th graders)—were put through the gauntlet with a tough workout to sharpen their skills.
Led by trainer and event organizer Christian “Pop” Popoola, the participants competed in a series of drills. With the assistance of the E.A.T. “battle pads,” Popoola relentlessly bumped and bruised the players, forcing them to fight through contact, channel their inner toughness and finish at the hole. After some relatively easy drills (dribbling around cones, game-situation one-on-ones, curling around screens to catch and shoot), the players competed in a taxing box-out drill, which quickly heightened the intensity and sweat rate. In the every-man-for-himself, lawless exercise, players fought for loose balls and literally clawed for rebounds and put-backs until the whistle blew, which usually wasn’t for a few minutes. When the session concluded, the guys went home in need of rest and recuperation.
The next morning, crowds of spectators and family members gathered in the spacious gymnasium of West High School for the day-long main event. The showcase pitted the state’s best players—in respective age groups—against one another, with each class competing in a full-length regulation game.
While the premise of the event was very common, from the onset, the vibe was different. For the first time I can remember, there was a refreshing, even overwhelming, familial vibe circulating in the air. Within minutes of stepping into the gym, I quickly noticed that, unlike most other regions of the country, the Utah basketball community is a collective unit. Families who live miles apart and reside in rival school districts greeted each other with handshakes, hugs and genuine benevolence. All the parents, kids, and happenings were seamlessly intertwined. When someone—anyone—would score a basket, almost everyone in the stands would cheer as if his/her child had scored.
This cohesiveness translated onto the court as well. Much like the style of play at, say, BYU, the style of play last weekend was unselfish, complimentary and trusting. It was more about precision and execution than talent and raw ability. The players hit open cutters, smoothly executed give-and-go’s, made the extra pass and, for the most part, tried to make the correct “basketball play.”
A main contributor and catalyst to the aforementioned familial vibe was Thurl Bailey, the former NC State standout and accomplished 12-year NBA veteran. A centerpiece and main cog in the Utah Jazz teams of the 80′s and early 90′s (Jerry Sloan appointed Bailey as captain for much of his tenure in Utah), Bailey has continued to leave his mark on the community post-retirement. He serves as the color commentator for the Jazz’s local TV affiliate, and is also a major philanthropist and active member of the community, helping pioneer and grow Utah’s AAU landscape.
X-Factor Basketball, the AAU team that Bailey—along with former NBA assistant coach Scott Fields and local coach Tim Davis—leads, made up a large contingent of the event’s participants. And after watching the club’s members compete throughout the day, it’s safe to say Bailey and Co. are building a program that will soon garner national recognition.
With all that in mind, let’s break down the top performers at E.A.T. Utah.
Class of 2013
Jalen Moore (Sky View HS)
6-8, 200, SF/SG
Equipped with supreme athleticism and versatility (and, for what it’s worth, a flamboyant afro hairstyle), Moore was hands down the best senior in the gym. The Utah State commit is a true 6-8 swingman, with tremendous bounce, impressive rebounding ability and a complete inside-outside skill set. Moore can realistically play and guard three positions, using active hands and a long wingspan to be disruptive on defense.
Moore is a fluid player—he has a soft touch on his jumper, finishes through contact and runs ahead of the defense for easy transition buckets. He is also a smart, patient player. On many occasions, Moore prudently took what the defense gave him—be it a 3-pointer, a crease in the lane or an opportunity to get the ball to an open teammate—showing he is a dynamic playmaker with a solid understanding of the game.
Of course, a few games of basketball is a small sample size to project or make proclamations upon. Even still, Moore has unquestionable upside. If he can develop his handle, hit the weight room and learn to consistently play with a high level of intensity, he should make an immediate impact and be an all-league player in the WAC.
Dayon Goodman (Kearns HS)
6-7, 180, PF/SF
Goodman showed off his eye-catching jumping ability with a series of dunks that earned him the Dunk Contest crown. He’s long and athletic, and can finish over taller players in the paint. However, at a gangly 6-7, Goodman is a bit undersized to play power forward.
Going forward, Goodman will need to add strength to his frame so he can battle against bigger players. He should also develop his handle and jumpshot to play more of a stretch-4 role. Goodman is getting looks from Utah, Utah State and others.
Class of 2014
Brandon Sly (Riverton HS)
5-9, PG
Sly was easily one of the most exciting players at the event. At 5-9, he is undersized, but what he lacks in size he compensates with a yo-yo handle, sonic-like speed and unteachable toughness.
Sly had a “Brandon Jennings” flair to his game, keeping defenders on their toes throughout the afternoon and repeatedly delivering crisp, on the money passes. He showcased a quick first step, changed direction on a dime and finished well with both hands. The crafty lefty exploded off picks, often times drawing defenders and kicking it out to open shooters.
Right now, though, Sly is very raw. If he can put on weight and tighten up his handle, Sly should emerge as one of the best guards out West. Under the tutelage of longtime professional coach Scott Fields, Sly will only get better and better.
Brekkott Chapman (Roy HS)
6-9, SG/SF
The talented lefty showcased a full arsenal of offensive moves en route to scoring an event-high 31 points. Chapman did work in the half court with a precision jumpshot and flourished in transition, catching a few breakaway dunks.
Chapman played power forward up until his sophomore season, and his experience as a post player coupled with his rapidly developing guard skills make him a matchup nightmare. He was a force on the perimeter and down low, and his upside is through the roof. As of now, schools such as BYU, Utah, Utah State, Colorado and Arizona State are heavily recruiting him.
Cooper Holt (Orem HS)
6-4, SG
Holt showcased a deadeye stroke from deep, sinking six or seven 3-pointers in the 2014 game. His jump shooting alone should get him Division 1 looks.
Class of 2015
Jesse Wade (Davis HS)
6-0, PG
Wade shined throughout the event. He possesses a silky-smooth handle, can finish superbly with both hands and has sneaky jumping ability for a 6-footer. Wade racked up 29 points in a variety of ways, shooting the ball from deep while also slicing through traffic to finish at the rim. Wade is a dynamic playmaker who can make something out of nothing with even the smallest creases. It would be a delight to see Wade go up against other elite guards in his class, and by Wade’s senior season, he should become a well-known commodity out West.
Zac Seljaas (Bountiful HS)
6-6, SF
Using his advantageous size, Seljaas literally rose above the competition and nailed jumpers all day long. He’s a great spot-up shooter, has a quick first step and can also free himself off of one or two dribbles. On many occasions, Seljaas received the ball on the perimeter, used a quick right-to-left crossover to create separation and rose up for a jumpshot. Seljaas should continue to grow, and could emerge as a high mid-major/low high-major prospect.
Brock Miller (Brighton HS)
6-4, SG
Miller, whose older brother Brandon plays at Utah, is a terrific athlete with a good jumpshot. The younger Miller has a high motor and loves to compete, but needs to continue developing. Lacking elite level speed or quickness, Miller will need to improve his handle and timing to create his own shot and be consistently effective.
Class of 2016
Brendan Bailey (American Fork HS)
6-3, SG
Son of former NC State and Utah Jazz standout Thurl Bailey, Brendan is a lanky 6-3 guard/wing with very strong scoring instincts and an already great feel for the game.
Bailey maneuvered his way into the lane at will, finishing well with either hand. He also showcased a smooth spot-up game, and was very active on defense, using his long arms to consistently deflect passes and block shots. Only a 9th grader, Brendan wears size 16 shoes, which indicates he has a major growth spurt in store. Once he fills out his frame—both in height and weight—Bailey will develop into a high major prospect. With a great family and support system around him, the sky is the limit for Brendan Bailey.
Daison Spotted Elk (East HS)
6-4, PG
Elk was the high scorer in the freshman game, scoring 17 points in a variety of ways. He showcased good driving ability and a smooth touch from outdoors. Elk slashed well from the wing, and on many occasions converted at the rim.
Class of 2017
In the house to guest-coach the 2017 game was former McDonald’s All-American and NBAer Britton Johnson. Like Bailey, Johnson is still very active in the community and continues to do his part to foster growth within Utah basketball.
Christian Popoola, Jr
(Canarelli MS, in Las Vegas, NV)
6-1, PG
Christian Jr.—aka Lil’ Pop did it all in Utah. Only an 8th grader, Popoola has spent the past few weeks practicing with national powerhouse Findlay Prep, battling the likes of UCLA-bound Allerik Freeman and Washington-bound Nigel Williams-Goss. As a result, his precocious abilities were on display all day long.
Popoola is a gifted athlete (he converted a dunk during Friday’s workout) and is equipped with an ahead-of-his-time skill set. Lil’ Pop consistently attacked and put pressure on the defense, using a crisp handle and burst of speed to explode into the lane at any given moment. He is a good passer and likes to push the tempo, where he can outrun most defenders and finish with authority. Popoola is a complete guard with all the traits of a playmaker.
Prognosticating upon an 8th grader is a bit absurd and, frankly, wrong for so many reasons, but Popoola could’ve easily held his own with the older age groups, and it’s safe to say he’ll be heavily pursued by all major programs in the coming years.
Marcus Draney (Lehi MS)
6-0, PG
Like Popoola, Draney is very athletic and can score in bunches. He also converted a few dunks throughout the weekend. Draney has an exceptional motor, runs the floor well and was extremely active from various spots on the floor. He impacts the game on both ends, and rebounds well for a guard. Definitely a prospect to keep an eye on. | http://www.slamonline.com/online/tag/chrisitan-popoola/feed/ | 2013-05-18T10:31:19 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

The.”
by Adam Fleischer
Over the weekend, laying out on my couch and flipping through some post-midnight TV, I stumbled upon The Basketball Diaries. With the movie only three minutes in when I landed on the channel, I knew that it was time to put the remote down. I had never seen the film before, but heard it was required viewing, especially for any fan of the game with a ton of respect for Leonardo DiCaprio and some hometown love that sometimes borders on a man-crush for Mark Whalberg. I walked away from the Leo’s brilliant and at times painful to watch performance sure of a few things: (1) It’s time to take heed to advice that my dad has given me multiple times and read Jim Carroll’s memoir The Basketball Diaries, off which the movie is based, which is surely as much of a must-read as the movie is must-see; (2) Don’t do heroin while you play ball; and (3) Worthwhile basketball related movies only come around every so often.
So, as the first decade of the new millennium creeps to a close, I thought it would be fitting to look back at some notable films that fall into that category (documentaries not included). While none of these are probably gonna go down on a level of Hoosiers or White Men Can’t Jump, some of these
flicks are worthwhile. Others, not so much. But, hey, Nick Cannon needs love, too.
Love and Basketball (2000)
I remember first seeing this movie after school one day in a packed (now closed) theater in downtown Boston. Aside from knowing that I one day wanted to find a dope chick to play strip one-on-one with, I realized that I had stumbled upon an instant favorite. And, while it hasn’t held its position quite as high on my list in the nine years since its release, Love and Basketball remains an enjoyable film. This was a time when not too many were flyer than Sanaa Lathan (besides Jay skating in his Maybach Benz, I guess), and Omar Epps does his thing, too.
Finding Forrester (2000)
Directed by Academy Award Winner Gus Van Sant (also behind Good Will Hunting and Milk), Finding Forrester tells the story of an inner city kid who befriends a renowned but isolated author whose apartment overlooks an outdoor where the young cat balls. The two soon form what seems to be the unlikeliest of pairings. However, they share a passion for writing, as the elder Forrester takes young Jamal under his tutelage. Of course, when he pens an artfully written essay, the prestigious prep school Jamal’s at can’t fathom that a black kid from the Bronx with talent on the hardwood could have been the one behind it, forcing Jamal to try to prove his innocence. The basketball scenes aren’t overwhelmingly good, but they get the job done. Another personal favorite.
Like Mike (2002)
I think Lil’ Bow Wow spoke for most of us as he spit “Basketball is my favorite sport, I like the way they dribble up and down the court,” eloquently recycling Kurtis Blow on the aptly titled track “Basketball” off the Like Mike soundtrack. Aided by
some super sneakers and a lightning bolt, Bow Wow gains some pro level skill in this cameo-laced flick. The basketball scenes aren’t the most realistic—an 11-year-old Bow Wow dunks on David Robinson, after all—but appearances by Allen Iverson, CWebb, Jason Kidd, GP, Dirk and T-Mac add some fun and authenticity.
Coach Carter (2005)
Movies based on true events always grab me, even if I’m sometimes skeptical (I mean, they say this is based on true events, too). The stories and actors don’t always end up keeping me, but hearing “based on a true story” is sure to pique my interest. As was the case with The Basketball Diaries, Coach Carter succeeds in bringing a real life story to the big screen. As Samuel L. Jackson’s Ken Carter brings a new wave of discipline and enthusiasm to his alma mater Cali high school, he places academics above basketball. At first, the fellas on the squad aren’t too thrilled, especially when they’re locked out of the gym because of sub par marks; eventually, though, they buy into the system and elevate their games and their grades. This coming of age tale may be my favorite of the bunch.
Semi-Pro (2008)
One of the more light-hearted picks on the list, Semi-Pro brings us Will Ferrell in short shorts, Three Stacks with a blow out, and Woody Harrelson making his return to big screen hoops—quite a combo. As Jackie Moon fights for his Flint Tropics’ survival during the upcoming ABA-NBA merger, Ferrell
was near the top of his game, leaving me laughing for a good portion of the hour and a half I dedicated to this. The on court entertainment during Tropics games—including Ferrell fighting a bear and singing—seem almost as ridiculous as some of the crap they have going on in arenas these days. The George Gervin cameo was pretty cool, too, as he described to SLAMonline a while back.
John Tucker Must Die (2006)
Not ashamed to say that this is one of only four pics on the list I saw in theaters. In the classic mold of high school flicks, John Tucker Must Die brings us a popular star athlete and a handful of girls swooning over him. As star baller John Tucker is caught playing a few of his lady friends, they decide to mess with him to get even. While kinda cheesy and predictable, the story and dialogue actually had my sides hurting here and there. The depiction of the game is sub par from a realistic standpoint, but holds its own during comedy infused sequences. Plus, the casting was well done (get at me, Sophia Bush).
O (2001)
A modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s classic play Othello, O is yet again a film in a high school setting with plenty of hoops action. Mekhi Fifer plays the titular role as Odin, who’s dating the school’s most popular girl and a favorite of the coach as the team’s star, much to the dismay of the coach’s son, played by John Hartnett. The on court scenes are serviceable and story is well acted. As with all Shakespearean tragedies, the story closes with a hearty serving of suicide and betrayal. Hope I didn’t ruin it.
Ball Don’t Lie (2008)
Without a doubt holding the title of the best depiction of the game on the list, Ball Don’t Lie also introduces us to a new side of Grayson Boucher. Best known for his days on the AND 1 circuit as The Professor, Boucher does his thing in the leading role as Sticky, a talented kid without much guidance or direction. The plot unfolds over just one day, but during that short time we see Sticky’s broken home life, interactions with his girl, his confusion about the future, and how he uses basketball as an escape. I don’t think this film was very widely released, but I suggest finding a way to get your hands on it.
Glory Road (2006)
This is another one based on true events, but events that most of us have heard of. Telling the tale of one of the most important events in the history of the game, Glory Road looks back at Don Haskins’ Texas Western team from 1966 which
started an all black line up in the national championship game against an all white Kentucky squad led by notoriously racist coach Adolph Rupp. It was the first time that that had happened, and they won. Groundbreaking is an understatement. Go see it, then read about it. Not necessarily in that order.
High School Musical 1, 2, and 3 (2006, 2007 and 2008)
I’ve only seen bits and pieces of this, but the kids seem to love it. There’s a lot of singing, dancing, and apparently some basketball in this series of movies about teen love. Cool the way sneakers and Spaldings created a song in Zac Efron’s breakout role, but when it comes to basketball sounds creating music, it’s not quite as dope as this was.
Underclassman (2005)
Caught about half and hour of this on TBS the other day. Nick Cannon goes undercover in a high school—not sure why—and shows off his on court skills at one point. Don’t recommend this, but he was actually pretty good in Ball Don’t Lie, when he played an abusive male figure from Sticky’s early years.
Rebound (2005)
Starring Martin Lawrence, not the slightest clue what it’s about.
Juwanna Mann (2002)
Something having to do with a dude cross-dressing and balling as a woman. | http://www.slamonline.com/online/tag/samuel-l-jackson/feed/ | 2013-05-18T10:42:46 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
PGA and SAG Awards Announced; Could ‘Argo’ Take Best Picture After All?
Posted on Monday, January 28th, 2013 by Angie Han
With awards season in full swing, both the Screen Actors Guild and the Producers Guild of America handed out prizes for their favorites of 2012 this past weekend. The big winner at both ceremonies turned out to be Ben Affleck‘s Argo, which had also previously picked up Golden Globes for Best Director and Best Motion Picture – Drama earlier this month. That positions Argo at the front of this year’s Best Picture Oscar race, though if it wins, it’ll be the rare film to do so without getting a Best Director nomination. Only three films in Oscar history have managed to win Best Picture without an accompanying Best Director nomination, the last to do so being Driving Miss Daisy in 1989.
Other notable victories in the film categories included Searching for Sugar Man and Wreck-It Ralph at the PGA Awards, and Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones), Silver Linings Playbook (Jennifer Lawrence), and Les Miserables (Anne Hathaway) at the SAG Awards. Small screen winners included Homeland and Game Change. Hit the jump to read the full list of awards.

Fear of Blogging
Why women shouldn't apologize for being afraid of threats on the Web.women? It's not a gender fight unless we reduce it to one. If we can't ultimately control for the hypersexualized criticism of women on the Web—and I doubt that we can—let's at least try to understand why an otherwise-tough woman might be terrified by it.
With all due respect to Graff, it seems to me that there are important differences between threats received over the Internet and sexual harassment at work. It starts, obviously, with a total lack of context. Women have accumulated at least some skills in figuring out when face-to-face sexual innuendo or threats are serious, joking, or pathological. True, we are sometimes tragically wrong. But for the most part, we can tell whether Jeff from accounting needs a restraining order or just a stern "no." An anonymous sexual threat on a blog could come from anywhere, and it's virtually impossible to determine whether or not the poster is serious..
