Saad scores in OT to give Blackhawks 4-3 win over Hurricanes
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Brandon Saad missed an early opportunity for the Chicago Blackhawks, but he rose to the occasion when it really counted.
Saad scored at 1:44 of overtime to give Chicago a 4-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night. His penalty-shot attempt was stopped by Scott Darling less than two minutes into the game.
Alex DeBrincat scored two goals and Gustav Forsling had one for Chicago, which scored three times after falling behind 3-1. DeBrincat and Forsling also assisted on Saad's game-winner.
"That's a big comeback win and one we needed in the room," DeBrincat said. "Hopefully we can keep moving with this. Getting two goals was nice. I get a few puck bounces there and get lucky and it goes in. But it was good timing for me. We definitely needed this win."
Brock McGinn had two goals and Jeff Skinner scored one for Carolina.
Chicago's Anton Forsberg had 35 saves to beat Carolina for the first time in three career meetings.
Darling, who spent the previous three seasons with the Blackhawks, stopped 26 shots for the Hurricanes.
"It was a tough segment for the power play," Carolina coach Bill Peters said. "We didn't get a (power-play goal) and when you're not winning the special teams battle it makes things hard. We got some good looks when it was 3-2 but weren't able to finish."
Carolina led 2-0 after an opening period in which the Hurricanes outshot the visitors 16-15.
"I had a couple of chances early," Saad said. "You miss those chances and they end up scoring. You definitely want one, and it was great to get it in overtime. It feels good. But the biggest thing is contributing to a win."
McGinn put the Hurricanes ahead at 6:53 on a backhander from the left doorstep with assists from Derek Ryan and Justin Williams. McGinn has goals in three straight games, while Ryan has points in three straight and Williams has assists in the last three.
Skinner added his eighth of the season, unassisted from the same spot at 9:01.
The Blackhawks scored on a rush just after a power play ended at 7:34 of the second, with DeBrincat converting on Jonathan Toews' pinpoint pass to the right doorstep.
Back came Carolina at 9:58, with McGinn roofing the puck past Forsberg on a rush.
DeBrincat scored his second goal early in the third, and Forsling tied it on a blast from the left point with 9:31 remaining.
"We dug a hole again, but I thought we hung in there," Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said. "Certainly scoring that late (Forsling) goal helped. I liked their response coming in after (Carolina's) third goal."
Along with Darling, Carolina forwards Joakim Nordstrom, Teuvo Teravainen and Marcus Kruger and defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk were members of the 2015 Blackhawks team that won the Stanley Cup.
NOTES: C Patrick Brown and D Klas Dahlbeck were healthy scratches for Carolina. ... C John Hayden, D Michal Kempny and D Jordan Oesterle were Chicago's healthy extras. ... The teams' other meeting is in Chicago on March 8.
Blackhawks: Return home on Sunday to face New Jersey in the opener of a two-game homestand.
Hurricanes: Host Dallas on Monday night to complete a two-game homestand.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR4.1 oh what a beaut. Beats the outside edge to hit the top of off stump. That is a peach. Angling in but swinging away. Lands around off. Bell has been in this mode where he is trying to stay beside the line to open up the off side. So he is not quite behind the line of this, and the ball swings to beat his bat. Off stump, bu-bye 18/16.2 that's the one-two. Bowl a bouncer to those who don't like bouncers. Have them expecting another one and thus staying back. Slip in a full one. Take the edge or hit the the stumps. Southee has hit the off stump here. This has swung back in towards the base of the off stump and squeezes under it. Apart from staying back he has played woefully down the wrong line 36/21026460038.4613.1 Ballance is back, this is a shortish delivery, has some width too, and is there to be hit. But the ball just doesn't come on. Ballance has to wait. He tries to check the shot, but because his feet haven't moved he is not close to the line of the ball. He ends up toe-ending this softly. A simple catch to short cover. Boult gets a seventh over, and he has struck first ball 57/346701233065.7133.2 Milne and Root have denied Southee a shot at best-ever figures in a WC match. Milne is short of a length again, Root looks to pull, it gets a bit big, takes the top edge, and settled with Vettori at fine leg 123/101741511041.4625.6 Milne you beauty. Fast bowlers are not supposed to make impossible saves and take flying catches in the outfield. But Milne does. Morgan looks to drive hard at this, but the ball doesn't quite come on. He is early into the shot but is quite forceful, which means this goes in the air and travels a long way. The trouble is, it seems it straight enough of long-on. Milne, though, has judged it to perfection and puts in the last-second dive. Full length mind you. Almost ala McGrath at Adelaide Oval 104/4023000.0026.2 what captaincy, what bowling. McCullum calls his strike bowler. Look, get me a wicket. Southee bowls one wide outswinger. That draws an appeal. And now he bowls an outswinging yorker that beats the outside edge of the new batsman and pings back the off stump. What a joy to watch the aggressive approach and the execution thereof by New Zealand 104/53780042.8528.1 lovely outswing bowling. Southee has a four-for. This is on a length, not too wide, you can't keep leaving them alone all day long in ODIs. Buttler pushes at it, Southee gets enough movement away to take the edge and England are six down 108/628.4 Southee. Unplayable Southee. Has a Michelle now. Four of them have been bowled to outswingers that have hit the off stump. That's beautiful. Outswingers hitting the top of off. Too good for a No. 8. Woakes' only mistake here is, he is not forward. Southee loves it. Gives him the space to let this outswinger drop and then move past the outside edge to hit the top of off. Nothing wrong in the pitch here. Just high-quality swing bowling and aggressive captaincy 110/7410100040.0030.4 Southee has six. Broad needs talking to. Ordinary attitude to batting. Running away and hoping for the best. He has moved away from leg, and just put his bat there. The leading edge to the full ball carried to mid-off where Vettori takes a two-hander to his left 116/80810000.0032.3 Seven for Southee. This is lovely stuff. Just floats in an outswinger outside off, Finn follows it, edges it to Taylor at first slip. Best figures for a NZer in a WC match. Root is left stranded, but he really should have protected Finn and not taken the single first ball 117/9not out1250050.00Extras13 (lb 6, w 7)TOTAL123 all out (33.2 Overs, RR: 3.69)Fall of wickets: 1-18 (Ian Bell, 4.1 ov), 2-36 (Moeen Ali, 6.2 ov), 3-57 (Gary Ballance, 13.1 ov), 4-104 (Eoin Morgan, 25.6 ov), 5-104 (James Taylor, 26.2 ov), 6-108 (Jos Buttler, 28.1 ov), 7-110 (Chris Woakes, 28.4 ov), 8-116 (Stuart Broad, 30.4 ov), 9-117 (Steven Finn, 32.3 ov), 10-123 (Joe Root, 33.2 ov)

Advance Care Planning
Advance care planning is the process of planning for a person's future health and personal care. Advance care planning helps ensure that an individual's choices are respected for future medical treatment. During this process, their beliefs, values and preferences are made known, in order to guide future care in the event that the person is unable to make decisions or communicate.
There are two main aspects to advance care planning:
- Appointing a substitute decision maker: In Victoria this is best done by appointing an Enduring power of attorney (Medical treatment)
- Discussing (and preferably documenting) a person's wishes for care: Documentation of values, beliefs and preferences can provide clarity to the treating medical team.
A range of documents may be used to express the individual's values and preferences for care and treatment. These may include:
- Statement of choices
- Advanced Care Directive
- Enduring Power of Attorney (medical treatment)
- Refusal of Treatment Certificate
Advance Care Planning Support Service
A Registered Nurse who has undertaken specific training in Advance Care Planning is available via appointment to visit you and or family members at home or you can attend the community health centre, The nurse will provide information, resources and guidance on the process to establish an Advance Care Plan.

The IRS Fresh Start Program can reduce penalties on late filed returns and late payments, and makes the IRS installment agreement process easier for some. The IRS Fresh Start Program has been around since 2011 but was recently expanded to help taxpayers in need that wanted to get right with the IRS.
The IRS Fresh Start Program has provisions that ease policies on tax liens, installment agreements, and the Offer in Compromise. Of these, the most useful are the penalty relief provisions and the installment agreement breaks available.
Late payment penalties usually apply to your balance due beginning on April 17, even if you file an extension. The extension gets you more time to file, not extra time to pay. The late payment penalty is calculated at .5% on the unpaid balance each month, up to 25%.
Under the IRS Fresh Start Program, you can be granted a six month reprieve from this penalty if you pay in full by October 15. In order to be eligible for the program, you must be either 1) a wage earner who was unemployed at least 30 consecutive days during the tax year, or 2) a self-employed individual who had his net income from business go down by 25% or more from last year.
The IRS Fresh Start Program is aimed at lower income individuals. If your AGI is over $200,000 for married couples filing jointly, or $100,000 filing single, you don't qualify. Also, if you owe more than $50,000 for the year, you are out.
If you fit in to the Fresh Start mold, you may file for relief using IRS Form 1127-A, which is available at www.IRS.gove. Note that you must file your return by April 15 and then request relief through October 15. It would not be possible to request relief and file the return on October 15.
The IRS Fresh Start Program also makes it easier to qualify for smaller installment agreements. As you know from reading this site, an installment agreement allows you to pay off your tax debt over time. Earlier articles posted by me indicate that you must provide financial information (Form 433-A, etc.) on debts of over $20,000 or $25,000… I use both numbers to allow for interest accumulation and other considerations.
Under the IRS Fresh Start Program, you can file an installment agreement without providing financial information, such as bank statements and pay stubs, on a balance due of $50,000 or less. Also, you may pay off the debt over 72 months rather than 60 months, assuming you are not coming up against the 10 year collection statute.
So, if you owe $45,000, and can make payments of about $620 per month, then you can setup an installment agreement without providing supporting documents. These numbers are estimates and don't take in to consideration interest and penalties that will accrue while you are making payments.
I suggest that the IRS Fresh Start Program means that you can represent yourself before the IRS on tax debts of up to $50,000 if you can afford to make significant payments. If you owe more than $50,000, or the IRS asks for a financial statement, hang up and call a professional.
Of course, this also means that, if you can't pay off the debt within 72 months and within the 10 years collection period, you must still provide financial information. If you will run out the 10 year clock before the debt is paid in full, you need a partial pay installment agreement, which is much more difficult to negotiate than a full pay agreement. Please see the various articles on this site for more information on the installment agreement process.

WINTER IS COMING... never rang so true to us. The original house had a forced air furnace, which sat right smack in the middle of the basement, and was haphazardly ducted around the house. Much of the basement was rendered useless due to duct runs overhead, while the attic relied solely on a stack effect to exchange heated air through passive floor vents. Our plan is to installed a hydronic staple-up heating system to minimize lost head space due to ducts, and to ensure uniform comfort until our super building envelope is in place. This will be coupled with a dedicated ventilation system and a ducted mini-split AC unit which will live in the East attic wing.
We find it's taking 5 x 250ft loops per floor, 1/2" heatlock Pex. This is definitely a job I wouldn't hire out... much time & patience is required to pull a 250ft PEX coil back and forth through each hole in the joist. Used 3/4" holes in the attic floor joists, which is as small as I'd go. Went with 1" holes in the main floor (as the joists are deeper) and this makes pulling the coil much easier. Shown are the Uponor/ Wirsbo Joist Track aluminium heat transfer plates, which will help conduction through the floor plate.
I've had a number of people tell me to insulate the joist space underneath the heating lines, to help push the heat upwards, but I feel that's not necessary when the final home will have a great building envelope and proper zoning. We'll be zoning each floor separately, via a 3 pump HPS panel.

When the Language Meant to Prop Up Art Makes It Fall Over
It is often self-evident that the language used in an exhibition press release……
Jesse Harrod, "Taught tight tender sway" (2017) (detail), paracord, rope, cock rings, acrylic, dimensions variable (photo by the author for Hyperallergic)
It is often self-evident that the language used in an exhibition press release outstrips the promise and potential of the visual art associated with it. Galleries and museums regularly use releases to write checks that the work itself can't cash. In the case of the exhibition In Practice: Material Deviance at SculptureCenter in Long Island City, the release actually gets at one of the chief ways in which the work here founders.
Crystal Z Campbell, "Go-Rilla Means War" (2017) (detail of installation view), 35mm slides, 35mm slide projectors, custom seating, paint, LEDs, stereo sound, speakers, 365 seconds. (all photos by Kyle Knodell and courtesy the artists unless indicated otherwise)
The release states that the artists are "pointing to the ways that things — like bodies — manage to exceed and even disrupt the systems that attempt to contain them." The work may want to do this — that is, disrupt the architectural system that contains it — but doesn't quite muster up the wherewithal to do so. SculptureCenter, a former trolley repair facility, is a captivating space. Its ground floor has the sort of regulation white cube accoutrements of concrete floors and resolutely colorless (or brick) walls, but in the basement, where this exhibition is on view, things get kinda weird. There are cup-like dead ends, narrow corridors, and recesses in the walls for machinery that is no longer present, all of which constitute a maze of passageways that make this space feel like I might stumble upon a door that opens onto Narnia.
Lauren Bakst and Yuri Masnyj, "Temporary Walls" (2017) performance view, installation and performance with two-channel audio, wood, paper, plaster, metal, acrylic paint, ink, graphite, 30 minutes, dimensions variable
Much of the work in Material Deviance, especially the slide and video pieces, feels unambitious and uninspiring stuck in little cupolas and rooms, and thus dies on the vine. Olivia Booth's series of peculiar, lit agglomerations of glass and metal installed along a passageway is visually provocative, but strange in the way that feels like Booth read about how to make inscrutable art in a book. I get a similar vibe from the "Temporary Walls" (2017) installation by Lauren Bakst and Yuri Masnyj, which features dark, organically shaped rocks interspersed around what could be a living room full of modernist tchotchkes with clean lines including books and a stereo. This might be the vision of a futuristic space where the rocks serve some non-obvious function, but mostly their placement seems arbitrary in a way that doesn't let on to any deeper meaning or visual seduction.
Barb Smith, "Untitled" (2017), installation view, memory foam, Aqua-Resin, impressions from two bodies. 70 x 52 x 48 x 70 in (courtesy the artist and Páramo, Guadalajara, Mexico)
Again, according to the press release, the artists selected by curator Alexis Wilkinson "look to irregularities, glitches, gaps, residues, and altered states — either found or enacted — as a means of accessing the latent histories of materials in order to expose underlying systems of power, regulation, value, and control." However, I don't see the exposure of these "underlying systems." I do witness a kind of astuteness about materials in Jesse Harrod's "Taught tight tender sway" (2017), which uses macramé to symbiotically interact with the space and transform an almost impassable hallway into something resembling the enfilade for a kind of coronation ceremony. This is my favorite work in the show. One piece that holds its own meaning independent of the space is Barb Smith's "Untitled" (2017), made of memory foam and aqua-resin. It looks like a hand-made form that was bent, prodded, and poked into its shape, a vaguely menacing sock puppet able to stand up for itself.
Admittedly, to present work outside of any kind of rhetorical framework would cause many viewers to struggle with such a varied exhibition. But looking at this show I wonder whether the language used here could have been more humble, situating the work where it can be recognized, but not placing it on a pedestal from which it is likely to fall.

The next big step in the fight to save the Arctic is happening right now.
Greenpeace US activists have suspended themselves from St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon to block a Shell Oil vessel from leaving port for Alaskan waters. The climbers have enough supplies to last several days, and are prepared to stay in Shell's way as long as possible.
Follow here for breaking updates from the scene of this incredible display of people power, and don't forget to say #ShellNo yourself. Tune into the conversation on social media using #ShellNo, #PeopleVsShell, and #SaveTheArctic.
Why exactly have these activists chosen to put themselves in between Shell and the Arctic?
Shell is almost ready to drill in the Arctic, but a vessel containing a vital piece of drilling equipment – without which it is not permitted to drill – has a gaping hole in it. So it had to come down to Portland to get patched up. The climbers blocking its way are now what stands in between Shell and an Arctic oil catastrophe.
Shell isn't just threatening polar bears and walruses with its drilling plans. By tapping into a new source of oil – only accessible because of melting ice – it's threatening the entire world with worsening climate change. And here's the real irony: Shell wouldn't even be in Portland if it weren't for its own incompetence. Its icebreaker vessel, the Fennica, was damaged within weeks of leaving for the company's drilling site in Alaska's Chukchi Sea.
With billions of dollars and the US government in its pocket, Shell thinks it can get away with anything – even in the Arctic. But people around the world – including right here in Portland – are proving otherwise. Thanks to people power, the movement to save the Arctic is growing stronger every day, and we can win.
Shell would love for this fight to stay quiet, unseen and unheard by the millions of people worldwide who have spoken out against Arctic drilling. We can't let that happen.
Raise your voice and say #ShellNo. Tell President Obama to reject Arctic drilling today.

text: Best Practices For Dealing With Workplace Injuries It's a normal day of work, until all of a sudden, one of your employees gets injured on the job. What do you do first? What's the best way to handle the situation? Workplace accidents are terrible, but they do happen, and they can happen in your organization when you least expect it. According to OSHA, 4,500 workers lose their lives in workplace accidents every year. OSHA also reports that U.S. employers pay an estimated $1 billion per week in direct worker's compensation costs. Direct costs can include both medical expenses (including rehabilitation) and lost-time wages. There are also indirect costs, because your business goes on, regardless if the injured worker is there or not, your customers are still expecting the same experience or output. Indirect costs include replacing the employee, lost opportunity, lost productivity, and even an impact on culture and morale, because your employees who witnessed the accident can have trouble focusing or even returning to work. If an accident ever takes place in your organization, utilize the best practices below to handle the situation professionally and effectively. 1. Timely and Detailed Reporting When a workplace accident happens, timely reporting is critical. This should happen within 24 hours of the injury, to best assist the injured worker and ensure accuracy. If possible, talk to the injured employee about what happened, and write down what they say. The more details that you report at the time of the injury, the better. These details should be strictly factual, without bias or opinion. If you're detailed, it will help expedite the claims process. 2. Thoroughly Investigate the Incident After you report the incident, complete an accident investigation as soon as possible. This investigation should involve the injured worker's supervisor from the start, and any other employees who witnessed the incident. By involving the supervisor, you can ensure they are engaged in the process and learn how to do things differently and fix the issue that caused the incident. When you conduct the investigation right away, the accident is still fresh in the employees' minds. It's also important to complete as much of the investigation at the site of the injury (if possible) to help trigger their memories. As you interview the witnesses, make them feel comfortable. Don't make it seem like an accusation. Ask questions that are solely focused on the facts and events that took place, without any implication of who's to blame. 3. Accommodate the Injured Worker With all of the reporting and investigation going on, it can be easy to forget about the injured worker, especially if they can't return to work quickly. If forgotten, the injured worker is at risk of becoming disengaged and can show signs of depression. Since work is where most employees get their social interaction, it makes sense that being away from work for an extended period of time can lead to disengagement, which makes it more difficult to come back to work. That's why it's important to accommodate for the injured employee and attempt to keep them on-site. Bring them into the office (if possible) and keep them engaged in your workplace environment. Is there clerical work they could do until they heal? If you aren't able to accommodate the documented restrictions or the employee isn't able to work, then have regular, friendly check-ins with them via call, email, or text. Make sure they're going okay and make them feel valued. A simple "we miss you" goes a long way. Don't ask them when they're coming back; just be caring and friendly. 4. Prevent it From Happening Again All of the best practices above should lead to and result in actions to prevent this from happening in the future. Ask yourself: How do we make this less likely to happen again? Does the process need to change? What can we do to stop it? Use the investigation process to review any procedures in place that may have had an impact on the initial accident and get to the root cause, so you can mitigate for future risk. You should also implement a standard annual or semi-annual review of all your processes and procedures to identify any trends or near misses. Usually, we don't think that near misses are important, but they can help you identify problems and help prevent a future incident. Also, be on the lookout for redundant and excessive tasks that could potentially be replaced by process improvement. Be especially mindful of over use of bending and reaching motions, as these can result in injury related to muscle fatigue. If your organization experiences a workplace incident, it's best to be proactive, thorough, and caring. No employee wants to get hurt, and no organization wants to deal with the complexities of documenting or handling an incident and resolving the claim. Take a look at your current processes and see if anything needs to change to help prevent an accident. How have you dealt with workplace incidents in the past?

Wikileaks founder Julian Assangearrested in London for being epic, supposedlysexually assaulting two women in Sweden.
So, if you have lived under a cave for the past couple of days and dont know whats going on with WikiLeaks, WikiLeaks is an international new media non-profit organization that publishes submissions of otherwise unavailable documents from anonymous news sources and leaks. On 28 November 2010, WikiLeaks and its five media partners began publishing the United States diplomatic cables leak, confidential documents of detailed correspondences between the U.S. State Department and its diplomatic missions around the world.
The publication of the U.S. embassy cables is the third in a series of U.S. classified document "mega-leaks" distributed by WikiLeaks in 2010, following the Afghan War documents leak in July, and the Iraq War documents leak in October.
The arrest IS an attack on media freedom.

Los Angeles Theft Crime Attorney
Most individuals who are facing theft charges are honorable people with minimal or nonexistent criminal records; people who are innocent or who made an error and temporarily lost their way. If you have been charged with a theft crime, please contact a Los Angeles theft crime defense lawyer at Stephen G. Rodriguez & Partners before speaking to law enforcement or permitting a search of your property.
You have rights under the Constitution that need protecting and if you retain our legal team, we will use our familiarity with the nuances of the various theft laws of California to do all that is possible to preserve your rights and secure a favorable result in your case.
Types of Theft Crimes
The following are examples of theft crimes. Feel free to click on any specific offense, and you will be directed to a page dedicated exclusively to that subject.
Auto Burglary
An offense that involves breaking into another's vehicle with the intent of committing theft or a felony offense, auto burglary is taken very seriously by law enforcement and prosecutors in California. It may be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, with harsh penalties upon a conviction.
Also referred to as "breaking and entering," burglary is defined as entering another's property with the intent of committing theft or a felony. Even if the intended crime is not committed, simply entering another's property for the purpose of committing such an offense may result in criminal charges.
Carjacking is considered a violent theft crime, as it involves taking another's motor vehicle through force, threats or fear. This felony offense is punishable by up to 9 years in state prison and a fine of up to $10,000. Sentencing enhancements may apply if someone is injured or kidnapped during an alleged carjacking.
Counterfeit Goods
Producing, distributing and possessing counterfeit goods, from retail merchandise to prescription slips or checks, is a crime under California Penal Code §350. This offense may also qualify as a federal crime, making it extremely important to secure legal counsel as quickly as possible.
Grand Theft
Theft, the taking of another's property without their knowledge or permission, may be classified into two primary offenses: grand theft and petty theft. Grand theft is the more serious of the two and involves the theft of property valued more than $950.
Grand Theft Auto
Theft of any motor vehicle may be considered grand theft auto, an offense that may be classified as a misdemeanor or a felony depending on the circumstances surrounding the case. If charged as a felony, a defendant may face 16 months to 3 years in state prison.
Petty Theft
Typically charged as a misdemeanor in California, petty theft is defined as taking another's property when valued at $950 or less. A first petty theft conviction may result in up to 180 days in jail, 3 years of informal probation, community service, restitution and fines of up to $1,000. Alternative sentencing to avoid jail time may be available in these cases.
Receiving Stolen Property
Did you know that it is a crime to purchase, possess or otherwise acquire stolen property, even if you were not responsible for its theft? If a person acquires property that he or she knew or reasonably should have known was stolen, this may result in criminal charges.
A violent crime and a theft crime, robbery is defined as taking another's property against their will, typically through the use of force, threats or fear. In California, robbery is considered a serious and violent crime, and a conviction will count as a "strike" on a one's record, resulting in enhanced penalties and even life in prison for future strikes.
Generally considered a lesser theft crime and charged as petty theft, shoplifting is described as taking property from a store. This may include switching labels on merchandise to try to obtain it at a lesser price, removing tags, physically taking items from stores and even eating food from a grocery store with the intention of not paying for it.
Other examples of theft crimes, often considered white collar crimes because they are non-violent and occur in business or financial arenas, include: embezzlement, identity theft, and fraud. Extortion can also be considered a type of theft crime, as a person is obtaining money or other valuable goods or services from another person through force or threats.
A theft charge can carry severe penalties in California. Charges can range from a minor shoplifting offense to grand theft, which can be charged as a felony and may result in a state prison sentence. There is no such thing as a "simple" theft crime. It all depends on the circumstances of the crime, such as the value of the property taken, any prior theft-related convictions, or other circumstances. For example, a theft crime involving the Internet crosses state lines and may therefore charged as a federal crime.
Consult a Los Angeles Theft Crime Defense Attorney Now
If you have been arrested or accused of a theft crime, it is important to retain an attorney with experience in theft cases. There's no doubt that an attorney who is not as familiar with theft laws or as experienced in criminal defense may miss an important opportunity for dropped or reduced charges, or even acquittal.
It is imperative that you speak with a qualified attorney at our firm as soon as you are able after your charge so that we can properly evaluate all aspects of your case and develop a compelling defense strategy. We have successfully represented many clients in their theft cases and have been able to achieve excellent results in cases that at first did not appear defensible.

First of all, thanks to tutor Phil, who suggest me to make backup asap. If I didn't do it, I would lost all my data! (Now, I'm little bit paranoid, because I backup every hour :) ) I've got my laptop back yesterday. Service didn't change graphic card, because it passed all test. However, I found solution to avoid color dumps - downloaded MSI afterburn and reduced core clock from 675 to 625. Now it works fine. However, I still lost 2 weeks. :(
Anyway, reinstalled everything and working hard.

Last week, a volunteer and her family were at the South Plains Food Bank bagging oranges for distribution at Christmas. I talked with her, her husband and teenagers explaining that, with their assistance, we are able to feed one in six people on the South Plains. Without missing a beat, she said, "I know - 17 years ago, we were one of the families you helped."
SPFB serves as a crossroads in our community where people of compassion intersect with people who are food insecure. The compassion of the community is never more self-evident than during the U Can Share Food Drive. Schools, businesses, churches, families and organizations come together donating time, food and money for the single purpose of ensuring people are fed not only on Christmas Day, but throughout the year. Over 8,000 families were helped during December.
Thirty years ago, Skip Watson and others created a legacy: the U Can Share Food Drive. The legacy continues. Thank you to all who served on our U Can Share Committee, to school children, Boy Scouts, businesses, churches and families who donated food and funds, to volunteers who sorted food and braved 50 mph sandstorms to pass out food. You ensure the homeless are fed, children grow and have energy to learn and seniors have nutritious food to stay healthy.
As I stand at the crossroads today, you fed the hungry. You gave hope. I am grateful.
Compassion does not discriminate either. Thank you for caring and sharing.

Is your Outlook mailbox full? Are you getting weekly or even daily notifications and pop-ups indicating to reduce the Microsoft Outlook mailbox size immediately? If yes, then you must understand that it can eat up your considerable amount of time cleaning up your Outlook mailbox. However, if you know some better tricks, then you can save your valuable time when reducing the size of your Outlook mailbox.
Six Useful Methods to Reduce mailbox size in MS Outlook
Try these methods for quick but easy processes to deal with keeping your mailbox smaller and simpler to work.
1. Mailbox Cleanup
The first thing you need to do is to open the Mailbox Cleanup tool. You can use the tool by performing the below steps:
- Select File > Info > Cleanup Tools > Mailbox Cleanup.
- First, select the View Mailbox Size option. It will help you know the current size of your mailbox and the majority of the subfolders. This is a good approach to the target, which folders are the greatest supporters of your large mailbox so you can clean up these first.
- When linking to Exchange, you'll see the Local Data and Server Data tabs.
- Select the Local Data tab. The cleanup changes you make will automatically happen on the server also.
- Next, select the alternatives to find older or larger items, which you can remove directly from the results to clean up the Outlook mailbox size.
- Depending on your archive settings, you can also go for the Auto Archive option.
- Finally, check the size of the Deleted Items folder and Empty the folder if you need particular choices details below. If available, one choice is to view and delete various versions of items in our mailbox.
2. Move Messages to Your Personal Folders
In case you're connected from Exchange, you can use this another approach to decrease the Outlook mailbox size. In this approach, you need to move Outlook items to your Personal Folders. This option may not be accessible to you as many associations have moved far from supporting Personal Folders.
However, if you can see this option then must undertake this step because the messages you move to Personal Folders are never again checked in the size of your mailbox. The Personal Folders document (outlook.pst) is put away on your local hard drive and isn't open remotely. You should back up this file to prevent losing these Outlook items if your PC goes down or crashed. If you are running an independent version of Outlook, your email, calendar, assignments, and notes are altogether put away in the outlook.pst file, which has a size limit of 50GB (Outlook 2010 and 2013).
3. Archive Older Messages
Another valuable support step is to archive your Outlook organizers occasionally. If you are accessing Outlook from Exchange, you will be unable to change archive choices as documenting is regularly controlled by system administrators or an outsider program.
However, if you are not connected via Exchange, you can perform the below steps to configure Archive settings in your Outlook.
- Setup your archive preferences under the Info > Cleanup Tools > Archive option.
- The archive.pst file can be made and updated at any location on your PC, more often than not your local hard drive. Archived things are removed from your Outlook mailbox size and moved to the archive file based on the settings you decide.
Similarly, as with the Personal Folders document, your archived things are not open remotely; the file should be backed up all the time.
4. Empty Deleted Items
Regularly clean up your deleted items via naturally emptying the Deleted Items folder when you exit Outlook.
Perform the below steps to empty deleted items folders:
- Select File > Options > Advanced tab.
- In the Outlook star and leave option, check Empty Deleted Items folder while leaving Outlook.
- Click the OK button.
You can also manually empty the Deleted Items folder if you do not want to configure automatic deletion.
Perform the below steps to manually delete emails from the Deleted items folder:
- Open the Deleted Items folders.
- Select emails that you want to delete and click the Delete key on your keyboard.
- You can also right-click the Deleted Items folder and select the Empty Folder option on the shortcut menu.
Once the emails are deleted from the Deleted Items folder, you cannot recover them back. If you feel sure that you need to erase a message permanently, you can avoid the Deleted Items folder by squeezing [Shift] + [Delete] for a selected thing rather than simply the [Delete] key. At that point, just confirm the delete procedure.
5. Save and Remove Attachments
Attachments in email messages are responsible for vast space used to your Outlook mailbox size. Depending upon the email correspondence, one choice is to save the attachments of mail and after then remove them from the original email.
Perform the below steps to remove attachments from emails:
- Open the email.
- Right-click the attachment and after that choose the Save All Attachments option.
- Or, select Actions from the Message tab. Then choose Other Actions > Save All Attachments.
- Next, browse the folder where you need to save the file(s) and choose to save option.
- Once you have saved the attachment, remove the message if it doesn't need to be held. If you need to keep the message, you can remove attachments from the email by right-clicking them and selecting the Remove option.
6. Split PST
This option works well in case the size of your Outlook PST file has grown to the size making Outlook slow while creating the chances of the PST damage. Also, if the size of your Outlook PST does not reduce even after executing the above-listed processes, then you are left with splitting your huge PST file into small files. You cannot do it manually so the tools like Split PST tool can be helpful to overcome the oversized PST file issues. And, the best thing to know here is, the new PST files can be imported anytime in Outlook as per the requirement. The Split PST tool is recommended as it does not make changes to the original PST file so there are no chances of data loss. You get the best quality with this tool. The data remain as is and accessible with any version of Outlook including Outlook 365.
How to repair large PST files that are inaccessible?
If you're unable to access a large PST file, then you need to repair it using the Outlook PST repair tool. It can repair even large-sized PST file and save it into smaller and manageable files, without compromising its data integrity.
So, these are some of the methods that you can use to reduce the size of your mailbox in Outlook. These steps can save you plenty of time because if you start finding and deleting unwanted emails one by one, you will end up wasting your time, and at the end, you may not see good results.

#women car insurance
Women's car insurance
Compare women's car insurance quotes from multiple insurance brands and see if you could save
Key points
- Insurers can no longer legally offer women cheaper premiums because of their gender, but female-friendly insurers may find ways of targeting the customers they want
- Search multiple options using Gocompare.com to increase your chances of finding an insurer offering the right deal for you and use our other money-saving tips to keep down costs
- As women are statistically the safer drivers and the motorists of least risk to insurers, they may benefit most from telematics policies
The search for the right car insurance has been a frustrating one for women since the 2012 European Court of Justice (ECJ) gender ruling .
The directive may have had the noble aim of removing gender discrimination, but when it came to the area of vehicle insurance this had an unfavourable impact on females.
For many years statistics have proved that women are safer drivers than men, that they're less likely to make a claim than a male and that claims they do make tend to be less expensive.
Such statistics particularly apply to the highest risk group of drivers that face the highest premium costs, young and inexperienced drivers .
These facts were traditionally reflected by insurers in their assessments of risk and the resultant prices they charged to motorists.
In short, women traditionally paid less for their car insurance, with premium savings most significant in the young driver category. The ECJ ruling effectively ended this and young women drivers in particular were subject to higher premiums as a result.
How insurers target women drivers now
Although insurers can no longer offer cheaper premiums to women just because of their gender, it's understandable that many will still want safer female drivers on their books.
One way they have attempted to do this is by producing advertising intended to appeal to women and offering added extras which they believe females will find appealing, things such as priority breakdown cover and (however patronising some may consider this!) handbag cover.
Of course, there's nothing to stop a man taking out a policy that's been targeted at a female market if he finds that the deal's right for him, or even if his priority is having adequate cover for a man-bag.
Need more information?
Research from Newcastle University Business School has suggested that another method some insurers may use to target the business of female customers is by weighting the importance of a job title in favour of female-friendly professions.
Your job is one of the many factors that insurers will take into account when calculating your premium and each company will have its own way of assessing a particular occupation – read more in our article on how your job affects your car insurance .
If an insurer is looking to attract more female customers it may, therefore, offer lower premiums to workers in jobs that statistics show are more likely to be done by women – such as social workers and dental nurses – and higher premiums to workers in jobs that are more likely to be done by men – such as civil engineers and construction workers.
How women can get around the ECJ ruling
As statistics show that women are safer drivers, it follows that there's a greater chance that they will benefit from telematics insurance policies .
These use a black box or a mobile phone app to monitor your driving and relate the premium you pay directly to your driving behaviour.
While such policies are traditionally thought to be of benefit to young, safe drivers, they have the potential to work for women in any age group.
If you search for car insurance through Gocompare.com, when you reach your results screen you're easily able to switch between seeing choices for regular policies and for telematics policies, allowing you to compare and contrast the pros and cons of each.
Did you know.
- Before the ECJ ruling, 21% of female drivers said a European court should have no right to dictate laws which affect how much they pay for their car insurance [1]

LONDON (Reuters) - The reporting method used by industry media in the UK gas market to assess daily prices, at the centre of a regulatory probe, is flawed and easy to manipulate, some traders in the sector say.
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) and energy regulator Ofgem are investigating allegations made by a whistleblower that traders have manipulated wholesale prices on Europe's biggest gas market, a trend-setter across the continent.
Although the example highlighted in the probe relates to the benchmark price on a certain day being lowered and not raised, the issue is a political tinderbox in Britain, where five of the six dominant energy distributors increased retail energy bills for this winter.
"I don't think it's possible to exaggerate how serious this would be if the allegations turn out to be true at a time when so many people are struggling to pay their bills, are making huge efforts just to make ends meet," Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said on Sky News.
The allegations have also been compared to an uproar this year over rigging of the Libor interbank interest rate, raising questions about the reliability of market mechanisms that directly affect everyday transactions by the public.
Whistleblower Seth Freedman, who works for price reporting agency ICIS Heren and spoke to the Guardian newspaper, sought to show how traders submitted erroneous bids and offers at the end of the day to skew the day-ahead gas contract, which is used to guide a wide-range of physical and futures gas prices.
"Traders always try to jerk the day-ahead close," the company's founder, Patrick Heren, now retired, said on Twitter.
"The effects are minuscule compared to the way the government is trying to rig the market," Heren added, apparently referring to energy market reforms, meant to encourage renewable sources, that add to prices.
ICIS Heren itself reported "unusual trading activity" to regulators back in October, several weeks before Freedman approached the FSA, regarding UK gas trades done on September 28 - the end of the gas financial year, a sensitive period for gas prices.
"The cause of the trading pattern, which involved a series of deals done below the prevailing market trend, has not yet been established," it said in a statement.
ICIS Heren is the leading price reporting agency that aims to provide energy company clients with a transparent, daily price of wholesale gas used in contracts for billions of pounds worth of supply deals. Energy information services Platts and Argus also provide prices in the gas markets but their prices are more commonly used in cash oil market contracts.
ICIS Heren price reporters go about setting the wholesale cost of gas by telephoning traders and collecting data during the peak trading window for gas at around 4.30 p.m. London time, known as the market-on-close assessment.
High trading volumes in this period are deemed to provide the best snapshot of gas prices as multiple sellers and buyers strike deals.
Some traders criticised the approach for focusing on a narrow assessment window that they say invites manipulation by players that want a higher or lower price to suit deals related to the benchmark price.
"It's a complete Wild West in the market for that period, especially the few seconds before (the assessment period expires)," one UK gas trader said.
"It's Heren's fault for setting the price like it does on literally the closest trade to 4.30 (p.m) it can find," he said.
"If someone is buying a liquefied natural gas cargo based on that index then you can move the index down day-by-day to lower the price you pay for the LNG," he said.
An ICIS Heren spokesman confirmed that reporters set the price of gas at 4.30 p.m. London time using the best bid and offer, although they can disregard outlying or otherwise suspicious bids.
ICIS Heren has welcomed the Ofgem probe into wholesale gas trading activity based on its own submissions to the regulator.
Some other traders questioned the very need for an assessment process to determine day-ahead and other gas contract prices on liquid markets like that in Britain, which is known as the National Balancing Point (NBP).
"Why have a window at all on the day-ahead?" another trader said.
"Why not just day-ahead averages? What is the advantage of a window with a market as liquid as the NBP?" he said.
Proponents of averaged gas prices argue that extreme trades and bids would be ironed out in the final assessment, making it less prone to manipulation.
Britain's Department of Energy and Climate Change said on Monday that regulators were well equipped to deal with any problem in the gas market.
"The government has a strong record in providing the regulators with powers to regulate conduct in our markets. Where gaps in powers have been identified, action has been taken," it said.
Utilities Centrica, E.ON and SSE all distanced themselves from allegations of manipulation, pointing to robust governance and compliance policies.
Centrica said its own traders were prohibited from providing price information to price reporting agencies, and emphasised that there were more than 50 participants in the market, not just energy suppliers.
E.ON said it had "most stringent training and compliance regimes in the industry" and that it viewed any attempt to manipulate benchmarks as illegal.
SSE said: "We are entirely confident that our Energy Portfolio Management team operate in a fair and legitimate way."
Platts said it was drafting a statement in relation to the gas price manipulation allegations, while Argus could not be immediately reached for comment.

Antica Terra
Antica Terra is 40-acres of rocky hillside in the Eola-Amity Hills of the Willamette Valley. The first vines were planted here in 1989 in a clearing within the oak savannah. They carefully prepared a place for the plants amid the rock: a fractured mixture of sandstone and alluvium sown with fossilized oyster shells. The site is dramatic. It's exposed boulders, steeply pitched grades and panoramic views of the surrounding land convey a feeling of imposing scale and intensity. In 2005 when Scott Adelson, John Mavredakis, and Michael Kramer, three friends on a search for land, visited Antica Terra. Over the years, they had collaborated on countless projects but had always dreamed of starting a vineyard together. When Scott, John and Michael asked Maggie Harrison, a long-time former assistant winemaker to Manfred Krankl at Sine Qua Non, to become the winemaker at Antica Terra she emphatically refused. They asked Maggie if she would simply take a look at the husband that they would be moving to Oregon.

Collection Overview
Table of contents
The Jock Peters papers span 13 linear feet and date from 1912 to 1933. The collection is primarily composed of presentation boards of architectural projects and movie set designs. The collection also includes architectural drawings and reprographic copies, black-and-white photographs, negatives, a scrapbook filled with clippings and photographs of Peters' projects, and small sketches.
Jock Peters, born Jacob Jock Peters, was born on March 16, 1889 in Jarrenwisch, Schleswig Holstein, a region of farmland near the Danish border. At age 14, Peters apprenticed under a stonemason in Hamburg. Three years later, in 1907, Peters attended the Baugewerksschule, a building trade school in Germany. By 1912, Peters was a draftsman in an office in Dusseldorf. In 1913, he worked in the office of K.G. Bensel. From 1913 to 1914 Jock Peters worked in the office of Peter Behrens in Berlin, until he was drafted. In 1920, shortly after Peters was released from duty, he was appointed the director of the U. Kunstgewerbeschule, a state school for the applied arts in Altona near Hamburg. Due to poor heath, Peters decided to emigrate to the United States to join his brother in 1923. From 1924-1927 Peters worked as the art director at Famous Players/Lasky (later Paramount). In 1927, Peters founded the firm Peters by Jock, Brothers Modern American Design Office. Sometime before 1929, Peters started working for the store planners Neil Paradise, an association that led to the Bullock's Wilshire commission for which Peters designed the first three floors of the department store. In 1931 Peters was commissioned to design a club house and swimming pool for the Park Modern subdivision in Calabasas, which stills stands today. He also designed two houses built in Los Feliz and San Marino, California. Jock Peters died at the age of 45 on March 31, 1934.

Curry Recipes
Methi Chicken Curry Recipe
I learned this recipe from my husband Lulu's aunt Huma. I call her Huma Chachi because she's Lulu's father's sister-in-law. She's an amazing cook and can put on the most wonderful feast in the twinkling of an eye.
Recently, Huma Chachi prepared chicken methi. It's an Indian chicken curry made with dried fenugreek leaves. Baby Aria loved it so much, I replicated the same recipe days later. It's best served with steamed basmati rice.

Paneer Masala Mushroom Appetizers
Paneer masala is pan-fried paneer cheese simmered in a spicy, creamy sauce. It is amazing with plain basmati rice or hot naan. But instead of serving this dish the traditional way, I used it as a filling for mushrooms. The bold flavor of the curry sauce marries beautifully with the earthiness of the mushrooms; they make the most delicious fusion appetizers.
The idea for these cute appetizers was inspired by my aunt, Ma Mười. She told me the first time she tried Indian food years ago at a restaurant, she was served a lot of little metal tins filled with colorful sauces. After a while, she asked the waiter when her main meal was going to arrive. She thought they were condiments and didn't realize that was her entire meal.
These appetizers showcase the wonderful flavors of Indian cuisine for those who are not really familiar with this culture. I've prepared pizzas, "naaninis" and other fusion dishes with Indian toppings in the past. Indian cuisine is boldly flavored, so pairing it with simple and attractive presentation techniques is a low-risk strategy for producing delicious new dishes.

Aloo Korma Recipe (Beef and Potato Curry)
I've prepared this Indian curry called korma countless times since I got married. I learned this dish from my husband Lulu's aunt (I call her Phoopi). It's a very flexible dish that allows for many combinations of meat and vegetable. Chicken, beef, goat, potato, taro and various vegetables (peas, carrot, broccoli) are commonly used. The spicy gravy is what's constant.
The gravy is made of fried onion paste and yogurt and is flavored with ginger-garlic paste as well as several Indian spices. This version contains beef but you can easily omit the meat if you're preparing a vegetarian version.
I had initially planned to include aloo korma ("aloo" is Urdu for "potato") in my first cookbook, Haute Potato: From Pommes Rissolees to Timbale with Roquefort, 75 Gourmet Potato Recipes, but finally went for other Indian dishes such as kheema cutlets (Indian-style meat-filled pancakes), panipuri (bite-sized, crispy South Indian masala potato-filled appetizers) and aloo bonda (spicy potato fritter) to name a few.

Indian Stew with Okra
Mutton meat stew is one of our family's special occasion dishes whenever one of my husband Lulu's relatives come from dinner. I've shared several other versions in the past, but this week, I made the gravy with freshly ground poppy seeds. It gives the dish a pleasant nutty aroma that pairs perfectly with steamed jasmine rice.
The okra vegetables are added at the last minute and provided a nice contrast of color to the meat. Once cooked, they have a slimy quality that blends with the gravy. I've probably mentioned in the past but if you've never tried this unusual vegetable, okra is one of those foods you either love or hate. I personally love them!

Coconut Goat Curry Recipe
We had guests over Tuesday evening from India. I wanted to impress them with the Indian cooking skills I learned from Baji (my husband Lulu's late grandmother). I made one of my favorite Indian curry dishes called korma. It's a spicy curry in which goat meat is slowly stewed in coconut milk.
The key to the dish is the freshness of the meat. I buy my goat meat from a local Indian specialty market. Goat meat is popular in Indian cuisine so there are always fresh, tender cuts available.

Easter Farmer's Market at The Island House/
Hello Lovely,
This past Saturday, I had so much fun at the Easter Farmer's Market at The Island House. I had never been to a Farmer's Market on this scale before. I've always wanted to go to farmer's markets because they feel so green and hippy; like the cool thing to do. Let me just say that this market DID NOT disappoint.
The following vendors who were in attendance:
Noirished Naturals | Nature's Way | Cia Monet Soaps & Scents | Sweet Tooth Bakery | Field to Fork Farm | Bentonite Beauty Clay | Bahama Island Farms | Naturally Bahamian | Fresh Cay Microgreens | Manchy Sasso | Ena's Kitchen | Brer Bookie Meat Company | Lollipop by Beautiful Things | Green Leaf Farms | Sunset Organics | Nisha Armbrister | V&V Condiments | Fish & Lime | Abaco Neem | Flavour of the Nation | 320 Nicecream | A Rainbow's Delight | Oma | The Distinguished Palette
This was the perfect event for the whole family. The talented kids from the Bahamas Music Academy played beautifully on the lawn. There were giant pillows set out for people to sit on to enjoy the music while their children ran around on the lawn, playing with the toys and in the teepees. I tried to snap a few photos of my goddaughter in a teepee but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see how that turned out.
I loved how beautiful everything was. I'm trying to curb my impulsive spending and I think I made mindful purchases. I got a bag of spinach mix for $5, 2 veggie patties for $4, an edible flower plant for $5 and Nice Red Velvet Ice Cream for $5. The way they prepare their ice cream is an amazing experience! It's liquid nitrogen and it really is cool (not as cold as I thought it would be). It's dairy free which is perfect for me! The veggie patties were spicy, which I don't like, but I was inspired to make to my own veggie burgers so stay tuned for that recipe.
What's your favourite part of Farmer's Markets? If you want to go, Mahogany house has a market every Saturday but if you want something on this level, Island House hosts theirs once a month. You've got to check it out! Don't forget to bring the kids!

Latest News
Police confirm 3rd apparent NE Tarrant drug death
Police confirmed Monday that a third teen has died from an apparent drug overdose in Northeast Tarrant County in the past two weeks.
Investigators believe drugs may have caused the death of a 15-year-old boy who was found by his grandmother on July 28 at their Euless home.
Since Thursday, two 18-year-olds have died in Grapevine from what investigators believe were illegal drugs, police said.
A cause of death on the teens is pending toxicology results, which could take several weeks, police said.
"We just haven't seen anything like this in a long time," Grapevine police Sgt. Kim Smith said Monday.
Investigators do not believe any of the deaths are connected.
On July 28, Brandon Palmer was found dead in his bedroom after being out all night with some friends, Euless police said.
His grandmother saw him alive about 3 a.m. on July 28 as he was getting a drink from the refrigerator, according to police reports.
But his grandmother found him dead about 4:30 p.m. later that day when she went in to check on him, the police reports say.
On Thursday morning, Christopher Hackler, 18, of Euless was found dead on a couch in a friend's apartment in the 2400 block of Timberline Drive in Grapevine. Hackler was found dead when paramedics arrived at the Ambassador Apartments, police said.
A friend called 911 Thursday morning after she found him unresponsive, police said.
Then on Saturday, Brandon Mason, 18, of Irving was pronounced dead at Baylor Regional Medical Center at Grapevine, after attempts by his family and paramedics to save him, police said Sunday.
Mason died shortly before 4:30 p.m. in the 2100 block of Grayson Drive. He had been injured in a traffic accident a few days earlier and was staying with his grandmother in Grapevine, Dearing said.
"At some point, his grandmother went into a bathroom and found him," Grapevine police Lt. Todd Dearing said Sunday.
A family member began CPR on Mason and paramedics continued it as he was taken to the hospital where he died, police said.
Drug paraphernalia was found in the apartment, police said, but details were not released Sunday.

WNC Nature Center
Asheville, NC – The Nature Center offers a Main Exhibit Building, Petting Area, Educational Farm, Predator Habitat, Otter Habitat, Nocturnal Hall and The Trillium Glen Nature Trail with programs, demonstrations and "hands-on" activities for everyone who is interested in the animals of the Southern Appalachian Region. Located on a 42-acre Natural Heritage site the center has many species of wildlife, gardens, trails, indoor exhibits and farm animals. The Nature Center also provides a home for injured, orphaned or imprinted animals that could not survive on their own; this facility is also one of 28 in the country participating in the red wolf re-introduction program.


text: The exhibit Collaborate, Connect, Reconnect curated by James Lutomski, Marygrove College Art faculty and Director of The Gallery, is on display in The Gallery at Marygrove College. The exhibition coincided with the annual Great Lakes Bioneers Conference at Marygrove College and showcases three local and regional artists whose creative endeavors, both collaborative and individual, focus on environment, ecological and community issues. Through their art, Andrew Martin, Sarah Nesbitt and Sadie Sheldon exemplify the "Artist as Activist."


text: A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post about my journal inadequacies and talked about starting a visual diary. Well I've started, I filled one whole page with scribbles while on hold to the Tax Department, then felt bad about dirtying the pages already - it reminded me of school days when I got new stationery and tried to write in my best possible handwriting for as long as I could. Last night I started drawing a flower while waiting for rice to cook for dinner, and in no time it began to grow across my page. There is something very therapeutic about casually doodling, I may be hooked already.

SO WHAT? > > Why are you insisting on retaining that structure? What is the *current* > ***NECESSARY*** purpose? Let's give yet another example. Consider RFC 3454 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3454.txt). Skip to the appendices. See the tables? There are several projects that parse the RFC text and generate source code to implement the stringprep protocol. Another example, draft-ietf-codec-opus (http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-codec-opus-14.txt) contains a big tarball of source code, which is actually normative. The draft contains instructions for how to parse itself to extract the tarball. >> In the face of a lack of data, I'd say that it's one list with four items. >> If it doesn't matter to the author enough to use a tool that preserves his >> or her intent, then nobody else is likely to care about the difference >> downstream. > > I claim that this is true for all container information.

Why make this more difficult for them than is needed, if it's roughly the same amount of work to come up with an adequate format in the first place? One of the signs of good architecture is that a system can be used in ways that the original designers hadn't considered. Trying to prevent those downstream uses because Word generates truly horrifying HTML seems quite short-sighted. >> If Word is generating

It's time to grow, time to learn, time to look to start to appear relevant to the world outside the IETF that looks at our document series as laughably archaic - and therefore of suspect technical content. > Word generates lists using

That's an interesting new requirement. Serious question: do you refer to list item numbers frequently?

That's because > the line break has meaning that the author wants to convey, which also means > that it should NOT be reflowed at the discretion of the viewer. Again serious, can you point me to a document where this was important? The only places I can think of at the moment all belong in pre elements. >> You can intuit a container (and add it if need-be) if the sections are >> separated. > > For heading containers, sure - it's just a stack.

I'm pretty sure all of those are detectable by proximity, but regardless, those have nothing to do with containment, since they MUST be marked up appropriately in any adequately semantic input format. >> No, I've given two.

The extraction function has nothing to do with editing, since >> it does not modify the file. > > Editing involves copy/paste - it need not involve a single file. That seems a little pedantic. The information extractors are not editing the document for which we're talking about defining the structure. It feels like you're grouping disparate things under one heading in order to make points, which doesn't seem like it's moving the conversation forward rapidly. -- Joe Hildebrand

Grant to Finance HCC Culinary Center in Downtown Holyoke Text Size
Massachusetts Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki announced today more than $1.75 million in capital equipment grants to support additional programming and workforce development in the culinary arts at Holyoke Community College.
More than 100 officials and business leaders attended the announcement at the Gill Technology Center at the Holyoke Transportation Center. This grant will allow HCC's culinary arts and hospitality program to build a new cutting-edge, state-of-the-art center in downtown Holyoke that will enable the school to double its size and add an associate's degree to its certificate program.
"That facility will be right here in the center of town, in the innovation district," Holyoke Community College President William Messner said, at an announcement held in the Transportation Center.
The center will allow the college to expand their program from only offering one-year certificates in culinary arts to a two-year associate degree program. Additionally, they will offer non-credit training programs for those seeking work within the field.
