Our Founder
About Molly Barker
-adj. 1. Genuine and authentic. 2. Not artificial. 3. Free of pretense. 4. How one would describe Molly Barker
Molly Barker, MSW, and four-time Hawaii Ironman triathlete, founded Girls on the Run® in 1996. Combining her counseling and teaching expertise with research on adolescent issues, she developed and delivered the first curriculum with 13 girls in Charlotte, North Carolina. The innovative, experiential program combines training for a 5k event with life-changing, confidence building lessons that enhance the physical and mental health of 8 - 12 year old girls.
Molly first began running at the age of 15 when she found herself stuck in the 'girl box.' The girl box is the place where many girls go around middle school when they begin to morph into what they think they should be instead of being who they really are. The messages of the girl box vary, but the overarching theme comes from a culture rooted in the belief that girls and women must conform to a set of standards that are often unattainable and dangerous to our health and well-being.
During a sunset run in 1993, after years of questioning her self-worth and self-image, Molly found the inspiration that grew into Girls on the Run. In 1996, she piloted the earliest version of the 24-lesson curriculum with 13 brave girls. 26 girls came the next season, then 75, and so the program grew. In 2000, Girls on the Run International became a 501c3 organization. Today, Girls on the Run is offered in over 150 cities across North America and hundreds of thousands of girls' and women's lives have been changed by the program.
The organization has been featured in many media outlets including People, Runner's World, Redbook, Women's Day, O Magazine, Self, Shape, Southern Living, Running Times, CNN, MSNBC, ABC News, NBC News, NPR, ESPN and Forbes. Molly is the recipient of several prestigious national awards including: Redbook magazine's 'Strength and Spirit Award,' which recognizes individuals who are building a better future for all of us; Woman's Day magazine's 'Woman's Day Award' that salutes individuals who have used their vision and heart to help fix pressing problems; and the highly prestigious 'Heroes of Running Award' from Runner's World magazine. She is also a lifetime fellow of Ashoka, a global organization that recognizes and supports leading social entrepreneurs who are creating positive systemic change to the planet. Molly is an inspiration to people of all ages.
Molly lives in Charlotte, North Carolina, and enjoys running, cycling and writing. Since creating Girls on the Run, she has authored two books, Girls on Track: A Parent's Guide to Inspiring our Daughters to Achieve a Lifetime of Self-Esteem and Respect, and Girls Lit From Within. She is passionate about her work but is most inspired by her two children.
From Molly Barker, Founder
In 1976, I bought my first pair of running shoes. I was fifteen, and like most girls that age, trying to figure out who I was inside a changing body. I desperately wanted to fit in with the popular crowd, but I couldn't fit into the box it placed over my spirit. The box told me things I knew in my heart weren't true: That the way I behaved and looked was more important than who I was inside. That being a woman meant being quiet and submissive. That having a boyfriend meant having to mold my body and actions to meet prescribed cultural standards. But I stepped in anyway. The years I spent trying to mold my thoughts, body, lifestyle and being into what the box required were extremely painful.
So I ran. I'd put on my running shoes and head for the woods, the streets, wherever my feet would take me. I felt strong. Beautiful. Powerful.
July 7th, 1993 - I remember it well. I put on my running shoes and went for a sunset run. I am not sure during what point of the run the box disappeared, but like a glass womb, it shattered around me and pushed me out, born to an entirely new freedom. It was a moment of personal awakening.
A year later, I began to write the Girls on the Run curriculum. The concept, however, was born long before. It was born in 8th grade when a boy in my class told me that I looked like a boy. It was born when a young woman, weighing 85 pounds and starving herself, told me she needed to lose weight to be beautiful. It was born when a pregnant thirteen-year-old and I took a long walk in the woods.
Girls on the Run is a lot more than a running program. It will, I believe, lead to an entire generation of girls living peacefully and happily outside of the Girl Box.
In the year 2030, I'll be 70. My daughter will be 32. If I have anything to say about it, she will never have to climb out of the Girl Box. Girls on the Run will shatter these constraints, like the spirit did for me that July night and help her and other girls feel comfortable simply being themselves.

Leaked documents give new insight into NSA's searches
LONDON Documents published by the Guardian newspaper are providing new insight into the National Security Agency's surveillance of world data, giving an over-the-shoulder look at the programs and techniques U.S. intelligence analysts use to exploit the hundreds of billions of records they gather each year.
Dozens of training slides published Wednesday divulge details about XKeyscore, one of a family of NSA programs that leaker Edward Snowden says has given America the ability to spy on "the vast majority of human communications."
Some of the slides appear to carry screenshots showing what analysts would see as they trawled the intercepted conversations, including sample search queries such as "Show me all encrypted word documents from Iran" or "Show me all the word documents that reference Osama Bin Laden."
In an indication of the program's scope, one slide says that XKeyscore has led to the capture of more than 300 terrorists. In a statement, the NSA said that figure only included captures up to the year 2008, and pushed back against any suggestion of illegal or arbitrary collection of data.
"These types of programs allow us to collect the information that enables us to perform our missions successfully - to defend the nation and to protect U.S. and allied troops abroad," the statement said.
How and from where the program draws its data isn't completely clear, but one slide said XKeyscore was supported by 700 servers and 150 sites across the globe. Another slide seemed to show the program drawing data from a body codenamed SSO - an apparent reference to the NSA's Special Source Operations, which previous Guardian articles have described as capturing large numbers of communications between the United States and other countries.
- Administration declassifies more NSA surveillance documents
- Zero privacy violations in NSA programs, Rogers say
The volume of data available to analysts through XKeyscore appears to be vast. The Guardian quoted one slide as saying that nearly 42 billion records had been captured by the system during a one-month period in 2012 - a rate of half a trillion records every year. So much content was being collected, the newspaper said, that it could only be stored for short periods of time - generally just a few days.
"At some sites, the amount of data we receive per day (20+ terabytes) can only be stored for as little as 24 hours," the Guardian quoted one document as saying.
In a message forwarded to The Associated Press by Guardian spokesman Gennady Kolker, journalist Glenn Greenwald said the article about XKeyscore drew on half a dozen documents supplied to him by Snowden in Hong Kong. One of them - a 32-page overview of the program - was published in its entirety, albeit with several pages redacted.
In June, Snowden told the Guardian that the search capabilities of XKeyscore helped enable him to read any individual's email if he had their email address.
The documents are the first to have been published in the Guardian since Snowden, who remains stuck at a Moscow airport, applied for temporary asylum in Russia on July 16.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said he'd be inclined to accept on condition that Snowden agreed not to hurt U.S. interests - implying that the American would have to stop leaking secrets. But Snowden's Russian lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, said Wednesday that the material for the article was provided long before Snowden promised to stop leaking.
"He warned me that he had already sent to the press an array of revealing information and secret documents and, unfortunately, could not stop its publication," Kucherena was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency.
Meanwhile, in Washington on Wednesday, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper declassified and released a trio of documents that outline the limits, oversight, and utility of a government surveillance program that collects the telephone call records of Americans.

The Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference Board of Control penalized the Harding-Bridgeport boys basketball team for using an academically ineligible player in five games.
Harding, which self reported the violation, lost three of those games; so it had to forfeit two victories. The Board also fined Harding $500.
The Board fined Hamden, which self reported, $100 for a violation of the transfer rule with the use of an ineligible player.
And from a CIAC press release, the Board approved the following recommendations for positions on the Board of Control: Margaret Williamson, Principal of Northwest Catholic High School, the Class M representative on the Board be moved to the position of Secretary; Rich Misenti, Principal of Guilford High School, the Chair of the Eligibility Committee by moved to the Class M representative on the Board; Dan Sullivan, Principal of South Windsor High School, an at-large member of the Eligibility be moved to the position of Chair of the Eligibility Committee; the at-large position on the Eligibility Committee will remain vacant until an appointment is made at the Annual Meeting in May.
The Board approved a request from Newtown High School to play an exhibition girls basketball game against Saddle River Day School located in Saddle River, N.J. as a fundraiser to support Sandy Hook Elementary School.The exhibition game will be played under game conditions but will not count towards the record of either team.

I'm just about finished with my pullover. I seamed everything together last night and am working on the ribbing at the bottom. After that all that's left is the neck band and a good block!
I had to pick up 230 stitches for the ribbing but it wasn't a problem. It's nowhere near as scary as steeking or cutting for a welt pocket.
Today I worked on a new apron style; it's been way too long since Boojiboo's last release and a lot of requests have been put in for new ones.
My pattern making assistant was passed out on the couch with her makeshift body pillow.
The mock up will be finished tomorrow but it might need a little tweaking before we put it in the shop.
Happy Saturday!

Love the jumper! The pattern is amazing. I thought it was woven fabric when I looked at it first.

I grew up in the United States. English is my native language, and, while I am not fluent in any other language, I have varying levels of skill in reading a few others. In the past few years I have become fascinated with linguistics, not in the Noam Chomsky sense, bur rather in the history and evolution of languages.
This fascination with the history of languages has progressed over to literature in other languages. Growing up in the American school system, the majority of books, short stories, dramas, and poetry that I read were written in English, usually by American and British writers. This is not necessarily a mark of provincialism; English language literature has a very long and distinguished history that spans centuries, continents, and genres. Moreover, there are nuances in the original language that just cannot be captured in translation–save for occasionally with explanatory footnotes.
It is not that I have been unexposed to literature in other languages, but the exposure is generally limited. In my experience, a world literature course covers the following materials: (1) Ancient epic poems, specifically those in ancient Greek (The Iliad and The Odyssey) and Latin (The Aeneid). Sometimes this includes Sumerian (Gilgamesh), and Old English (Beowulf); (2) English language novels from nations once part of the British Empire; (3) The Bible and maybe the occasional other religious text; and (4) fiction in one of five other European languages–Spanish, French, Russian, Italian, or German. Occasionally a European writer who wrote in a different language (like Henrik Ibsen) will sneak through if he is famous enough, but they are few and far between.
I am not knocking such classes. Everything I have mentioned thus far is worth reading. But there is so much out there from so many different places, and it also merits consideration. For example, I have more than a passing familiarity with Yiddish and Hebrew literature. Hebrew literature comprises everything from Biblical texts through the modern state of Israel. Yiddish literature is a much more recent phenomenon, only a couple hundred years old. Both are extremely worthwhile for the reader. There are so many languages out there, large and small, which have a great body literature that deserves to be read.
It is not actually difficult to find out about foreign literature. Wikipedia is the new repository of all human knowledge (a blessing and a curse). There are also, of course, extremely flawed lists ranking works of world literature, but I am skeptical of such lists. Greatness is a nebulous concept that often suspiciously coincides with the list maker's personal agenda. The Nobel Prize is even more suspect in determining worthwhile literature. There are a lot reasons for my distrust but primarily it is because Nobel has a long track record of missing many of the world's greatest and most important writers. Tolstoy, Twain, Zola, Chekhov, Joyce, Ibsen, James, Auden, Woolf, Pound, Achebe, Nabokov, Strindberg, Brecht, and Borges are only a few of the notable names the Swedish Academy has overlooked. Proust died too soon, and Kafka's major work was published posthumously.
Although the vast majority of readers of this blog are from English-speaking countries (especially the United States), readers from elsewhere occasionally stumble on my posts. Probably most of these hits are because of my Who Do You Think You Are Recaps, but to all of you who speak a language other than English, I have a question for you, and I would greatly appreciate any time you take to answer. What is the general consensus for the great works of literature in your language? Do you agree or no? Finally, what works do you believe will stand the test of time and should be included in a world canon?

What is this, baby? I mean, what is lust twin? These personality might not born at the same time but they dislike DIVORCE. Why? I give the sample:
When you finish sing, after that you often sleep. Sleeping after sing always happen, may happen immediately. Sometimes, after you wake up from sleep, you sing. Sing after wake up sometimes or always happen. So, sleep and sing are lust twin. Lust twin indeed exist but we hope the twin is not something bad. We hope good manner. If you can avoid yourselves from singing, sleeping always or sometimes will not happen also or if you succeed avoid yourselves from sleeping, sing always or sometimes will not happen also. So, sing encourage sleep lust or sleep lust encourage sing lust happen. Habitually, is not easy to avoid the second lust from happen after first lust happen. You need pemutus teguh such asaidad, asa isa and badarila to make the twin be divorce or to make the lust strength become weak.
One news source ever report that one kind of drug [sorry, I forgot about its name] can cause person who eat drug become very dangerous people. What dangerous? People who eat the drug will kill any people. So, the drug lust has its twin, namely kill lust. My opinion, suck the cigarette may cause people try to suck any drug. We have to burn or destroy tobacco farm. Increase cigarette tax fail to avoid people suck the cigarette. Some of you, might have over or more than a lust twin such have two lust twin, three lust twin, four lust twin or more than these.
If you fail to kill your bad lust twin, this may become personality splash to your son or daughter. When your personality give effect to other person without you ask or command them to do like what you do, they do it, is mean your personality become personality splash to them or in other meaning they have same personality like your personality which be personality splash. This is not inclusive something imitation which be pretended action. Or something action which has purpose to affront you. What you eat and drink can influence your heart, your mind, your brain, your lust!!! This is a sample why ISLAM forbid muslim [or people who convert to ISLAM OR ISLAM FOLLOWER] eat and drink anything illicit in ISLAM like PORK. DOG AND PORK ARE DIRTIEST in ISLAM teaching. What you eat and drink will become your cell, your meat, your body, your blood, your skin et cetera. So, if your eat pork, what will happen? Your face will look like a pig? Or your soul or your personality or your behaviour will look like a pig? May be or certainly? What personality become pig personality? Pig is an animal that like something dirty. So, if not impossible if you become person who likes dirt. This bad manner may be splash to other person like your friend or your family, your husband or your wife. When we eat or drink something illicit, this will influence and encourage ourselves to make anything illicit and wrong such crime.
ISLAM IS A RELIGION WHICH LOVE CLEANLINESS SUCH HEART CLEANLINESS, SOUL CLEANLINESS, MIND CLEANLINESS. ONLY WITH ISLAM THAT BE PURE OR ORIGINAL ISLAM TEACHING WE CAN GET BEST AND TRUE GOOD PERSONALITY SPLASH . Only ISLAM IS THE BEST AND TRUE WAY OF LIFE THAT CAN AVOID AND KILL BAD LUST TWIN.
Other meaning of Personality Splash is anything effect from your asa isa effect, your asaidad effect, your badarila effect which influence or give effect to other person or they can get something benefit as the effect.

Programming the Eclipse Workbench
What makes Eclipse applications most easily recognizable is the Workbench. It is the foundation of applications such as the Eclipse IDE — the main window contains menus, toolbars, and a variety of smaller windows, some tiled, some stacked behind one another. What makes each Workbench application unique is what these windows are and what functionality they provide.
In the previous installment of the Eclipse series an Eclipse Workbench "view" was used as the host of a JFace and SWT components, but I did not go into much detail about its structure or function. In this article, the Eclipse Workbench will be explored in more detail. Specifically, the Workbench "parts" — the views and editors that make up most Workbench applications — will be reviewed.
When you run a typical Eclipse Workbench application, such as your Eclipse IDE, you get the familiar application window with menu and toolbars at the top, status bar at the bottom, and one or more views in between. Many of these views allow you to manipulate the information they present, and perhaps edit it in specialized editors. While some tasks may be implemented as step-by-step wizards, the telltale sign of a workbench application is the ability to view and manipulate information in a variety of ways.
In this article, a simple editor is developed that lets you edit lists of strings stored in plain-text files. A JFace viewer is used to display the model. Menus are provided to allow for the addition of new entries into the list and deletion of selected entries. Also provided is support for undoing, redoing, and saving of these modifications.
To compile and run the example, you will need Eclipse SDK 3.1, available at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads. Some familiarity with the Plug-in Development Environment, JFace, and SWT is required.
Eclipse Workbench
From a user's point of view, the Workbench is a top-level application window (or several of them, in fact) with menus, toolbars, views, and editors. While this is by no means a requirement, many users have actually come to expect certain menus and views to be available in Workbench applications; for example, there is usually a File menu that allows for creation of new and opening of existing files, an Edit menu with editing actions such as Cut, Copy, and Paste, as well as a Window menu for customizing some aspects of the user interface.
From a developer's perspective, the Workbench serves as the foundation for applications that contribute their views, editors, wizards, and other components as plug-ins. You can look at the Workbench as the infrastructure that you can use to build a certain class of desktop applications. In fact, Eclipse started out as an IDE workbench suitable for developing integrated development tools, but over the years it evolved into a generic platform for Rich Client Applications (RCP). The central architectural element of these applications is precisely the Workbench (also called the Generic Workbench to differentiate it from the IDE).
Programmatically, the Workbench is represented by interface
which can be obtained as a singleton instance by calling
The Workbench provides a variety of services, most of which we won't
address here. It also provides access to its visual components, starting
with its windows; while there may be more than one window (represented
by interface
IWorkbenchWindow) in a Workbench application,
at most one can be active at any given time. Each window consists of
multiple pages (
IWorkbenchPage; although having more than
one page is rare), of which only one may be active at any given time.
At this point you may be tempted to think that switching perspectives is equivalent to flipping the window's pages. This, however, is not the case. Programmatically, a perspective just defines the page layout (which is, by the way, fully customizable by the user). When you switch perspectives, you actually apply a different layout (and a corresponding set of views) to the same page.
Finally, each workbench page consists of several "parts" — editors or views (and again, only one may be active at a time).
Each of these interfaces provides access to components and services
pertinent to their level within the hierarchy. For instance,
allows you to show views, open editors, and manipulate the current
perspective, while
IWorkenchWindow lets you work with its
pages, and
IWorbench with windows and other Workbench-wide
This hierarchy stops at
IWorkbenchPart, because this is
where customization comes to play: each view or editor implements its
own user interface and provides its own services.
Several views are considered "standard" — Properties and Content Outline in the Generic Workbench, Problems, Tasks, Bookmarks, Resource Navigator, and some others, in the IDE. Many of these expose public APIs that you can peruse in your own solutions.
Workbench Parts
While editors and views perform different functions within the
Workbench, they have much in common — they are "parts" of the
Workbench, and as such they must follow a certain protocol common to all
Workbench parts. This protocol is embodied in interface
which all Workbench parts must implement.
While developing your own views or editors, you will notice that instead of directly implementing the corresponding interface, you are asked to extend an abstract base class (
ViewPartfor views and
EditorPartfor editors, respectively). This approach is actually quite common throughout Eclipse. It gives the API providers the flexibility to amend and evolve the API (i.e., the interface) without inadvertently breaking backward compatibility. For example, if they decide to add a new method to the interface, then all existing implementations would break, unless updated. If, however, the implementations extend an abstract class, then that class can provide the default implementation of this method, without breaking any existing subclasses.
In the previous article's example, the SuperView's
method was implemented in order to construct its user interface components. The
method's argument were used as the parent Composite for the viewer. In fact,
Workbench parts are essentially user interface widgets displayed and
managed by the Workbench in a specific way. Thus, this method is called
by the Workbench at the appropriate time within the part's lifecycle in
order to create its visual representation. If the part allocates any
platform resources during construction, it must dispose them in its
Workbench parts are often dynamic in nature and may need to
communicate any relevant state changes to the Workbench. For this
reason, each Workbench part supports a property change notification
protocol — interested parties may add themselves as
which the part then notifies when one of its properties changes. Just
what these properties may be depends on the part type; one common
property shared by both views and editors is their title.
The Workbench supplies each of its parts with instance-specific
services by means of a "site" (
IWorkbenchPartSite) — the
primary interface between the part and the Workbench. The way in which
views and editors are supplied with it differs, but what they do have in
common is that both are initialized with a site provided by the
Workbench before their user interfaces may be constructed (views
actually get a view-specific subtype of the site, as do the editors).

Pwllgwaelod is one of the starting points for a popular three mile walk along the Pembrokeshire National Park Coastal Footpath around Dinas Head. The Head is also known as Dinas Island because it is separated from the mainland by a deep valley with a stream running through, so the "sound" between them is only a couple of feet wide for most of its one mile length. From Pwllgwaelod the walker has a steep climb up the cliffside to the 465-feet high triangulation station on Pen-y-Fan.
Pwllgwaelod's counterpart beach on the other side of the valley is Cwm-yr-Eglwys.
The walk is well worth the effort, particularly for wildlfe lovers, for the high cliffs, overlooking Fishguard Bay, present beautiful views and frequent sightings of chough, fulmar and peregrine falcon.

Minneota defeats Red Lake 66-46 in Girls 1A quarterfinal - P77
May 23, 2019
It took some improvisation, but Minneota was finally able to pull away from Red Lake in the Class 1A quarterfinals Thursday at Maturi Pavilion.
After falling behind by 10 points early in the first half, the Vikings made adjustments and rallied for a 66-46 victory over the Warriors.
"We knew Red Lake played a very disruptive defense," Minneota coach Chad Johnston said. "They pressure you all the time. You can't really duplicate that in practice. For about three-fourths of the game, we ran a new offense, where we had to freelance."
Red Lake opened a 14-4 lead with 12 minutes left in the first half before the Vikings (28-1) battled back. Consecutive three-point field goals by sophomore Abby Hennen gave the Vikings their first lead with seven minutes left in the half. The Vikings eventually built a 35-21 lead at halftime.
"We just needed to settle in," Johnston said. "We did a wonderful job of rebounding."
The Vikings eventually built an 18-point lead early in the second half. Red Lake used an 11-0 run to pull within seven with 8 minutes, 17 seconds left but couldn't get closer. The Vikings, who made just one of nine free throws in the first half, made 17 of 24 free throw attempts in the second half.
Lizzy Gillingham scored 19 points, Lydia Sussner scored 18 and Hennen scored 16 to pace the Vikings. Sussner had 17 rebounds and Hennen had 13 rebounds as the Vikings had a 67-36 rebound advantage.
Gerika Kingbird scored 17 points and Angel McClain scored 11 to lead the Warriors (21-8).
"We like to pressure," Red Lake coach Randy Holthusen said. "We started strong and then Minneota picked up their intensity. We came back strong in the second half. I'm very proud of our team. They didn't give up."

Advocates of unlicensed broadband devices may have won a small but significant victory at the Federal Communications Commission. GE Healthcare has filed a statement with the FCC accepting the use of these apps, which tap into temporarily unused TV channels —or "white space"—for high-speed broadband. It's a rare, but encouraging sign of honest compromise in a proceeding that has been characterized by fear mongering and paranoia.
Medical technology groups are nervous about unlicensed white space use, and you can't blame them. The American Hospital Association worries about unlicensed broadband technology's potential for interference with medical equipment. GE Healthcare makes pretty much any kind of digital hospital device: imaging, scanning, ultrasound, just to name a few products. The company also sells medical telemetry devices that monitor the condition of patients, and trains professionals to use the equipment. The FCC licensed spectrum zone through which these machines transmit is called the Wireless Medical Telemetry Service (WMTS). It taps into the 608-614 MHz band, which corresponds to TV channel 37.
GE Healthcare technicians early last month confided their fears about interference from the unlicensed broadband devices that the Commission's Office of Engineering Technology (OET) is presently testing. The firm's top engineer and wireless expert asked the FCC to consider several options for dealing with the problem. One would be to delay unlicensed white space operations until February 2010 for channels 33 to 36, "to allow users sufficient time to become aware of the new operations," as GE's filing puts it. Another workaround would limit unlicensed use in those channels to professionally installed apps. A third solution would require the inclusion of portable emissions masks to reduce the possibility of frequency overload, which, by the way, advocates of unlicensed devices also regard as an important part of the technology.
On June 3rd, GE Healthcare got back to the OET and said that Option Three would do fine. "The spectrum mask proposed for TV channels 36, 37, and 38 by GE Healthcare in the May 6, 2008 ex parte was sufficient, in GE Healthcare's views, to protect licensed [WMTS] operations in TV channel 37 from proposed portable TV White Space devices," the company told the FCC.
This resolution should come as a great relief to unlicensed white space's more prominent critics, who loudly claim that these fledgling devices will Ruin Everything. These would include Country Music Television and the Grand Old Opry, who in mid May insisted that FCC policies in sympathy with unlicensed devices could "wreak havoc with Nashville's signature entertainment productions." Surely if we can protect hospital patient heart rate transmissions from interference, we can keep Dolly Parton's wireless mic safe and sound.
This GE deal should also come as welcome news to the Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV). The group lobbies for broadcasters on technical issues. Last year MSTV likened unlicensed white space devices to "germs" that will spread across America "with the ability to attack the TV receivers in people's homes, apartments, hotel rooms, hospital rooms, dormitories, etc., with no way for the owner of the TV set (the 'victim') to determine who was causing the 'illness' to his or her TV set..."
Now it seems reasonable to expect that if we can transmit unlicensed broadband streams and blood pressure data on the same TV channel, we can maintain a similar level of peaceful coexistence for respiratory rates and Married with Children reruns. One would hope that this compromise will lighten MSTV's burden regarding unlicensed broadband applications.
But somehow Ars suspects that it won't. On Wednesday, June 12th, no less than nine representatives of the MSTV and the National Association of Broadcasters met with FCC Chair Kevin Martin to discuss the issue. They also brought along Cecilia Kang of The Washington Post (presumably as an observer). The nine reps laid the field thick with every possible technical land mine: wireless mic interference, first and second adjacent channel limits for unlicensed use, using white space for licensed purposes instead, and creating "certification and policing mechanisms" for white space.
Finally, the group expressed "the need for in-depth exploration of these and other technical issues between a small number of broadcast engineers and OET with respect to the effectiveness and sufficiency of various conditions that might be imposed on unlicensed device use of the white spaces spectrum."

Washington Post says website hacked by Syrian Electronic Army
The Washington Post's website was hacked, sending some users who tried to access its stories to a Syrian hacker site.
The readers were redirected to the page of the Syrian Electronic Army, a group that backs Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, the Post said in an online note today. The publisher said it fixed the site after it had been compromised for about 30 minutes this morning.
The hacker group gained access to a staff writer's computer account after a series of sophisticated phishing attempts, Managing Editor Emilio Garcia-Ruiz said via email. Phishing is a method of prompting a person to enter a username and password by presenting a fake login page.
The attack resulted in some readers being redirected to the SEA's website, according to Garcia-Ruiz. "We have taken defensive measures and removed the offending module. At this time, we believe there are no other issues affecting the site," he said.
The Post is at least the fourth news organization that has been targeted by the Syrian Electronic Army this year. In April, the group claimed credit for infiltrating the Associated Press Twitter account and posted an erroneous message saying the White House had been bombed, sending markets down 1 percent in a matter of seconds. The group also has hacked the Financial Times and ITV, the U.K.'s biggest commercial TV station.
The Graham family, which controls Washington Post Co., agreed this month to sell the newspaper to billionaire Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon.com Inc., for $250 million. The family had sought an owner with large resources who could fund the money-losing newspaper going forward.
Bezos, who acquired the paper as an individual, said in a statement at the time that he understands "the critical role the Post plays in Washington, D.C., and our nation." The newspaper is the largest published in the U.S. capital and closely read in political circles.
Washington Post Co. retains other assets such as the Kaplan education business and plans to change its name after selling the newspaper.

Pritzker prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid has collaborated with renowned Hamburg-based shipbuilders Blohm+Voss to design a new superyacht, a design informed by fluid dynamics and underwater ecosystems.
The design concept, launched at the latest exhibition of Zaha Hadid's work at the David Gill Gallery in London, is based around a sculptural form for a master prototype conceived for a 128m yacht. "The overall design is informed by fluid dynamics and underwater ecosystems, with hydrodynamic research informing the design of the hull." says Blohm+Voss.
"The exoskeleton structure of the upper section is an interwoven network of supports that vary in thickness and lend a natural aesthetic to the yacht's external appearance; evoking the organic structural systems found in natural marine formations. This exoskeleton connects the various levels and decks of the ship seamlessly via expressive diagonals. Whereas traditional yacht designs adhere to a strict horizontal order, Hadid has created an intense connectivity between the various decks and elements of the design. The fluid design language of the master prototype has been applied to subsequent variations of the Unique Circle Yachts 90m yacht concepts, creating a coherent design with the highest correlation between the various design options."

As 2013 rears its head you may want to start thinking about revamping your loyalty marketing program. Really take the time to see what worked in terms of profitability, customer satisfaction and customer retention. Clearly identify the weak links. Find out what part of your loyalty marketing is making little to no impact on your business. Then take the time to consider what can change. Here are some ways to boost your CRM for the next year.
Social Integration
If you haven't included social media into your loyalty program, it is time to really evaluate how you can. Find out which social media channels fit into your overall program. Facebook is a great tool for many companies but might not be the right one for yours. It may even do some damage. Really take a look at all the options that will naturally fit your brand by identifying what your core customers already use.
Cleanup Your Look
It is important to balance evolution with consistency in your loyalty program. Don't stay stagnant for too long because other companies are sure enough changing their look every year. Every year you should polish up your website, add new elements and fine-tune your program's colors. This can lead to a whole new program for re-engagement and offer you benefits into the next year.
Cut Your Losses
Make the holiday season your last ditch effort to push inactive members to re-activate or reinvest. If you haven't seen or heard from them by January, cut your losses. Use your time and energy getting new customers who will generate revenue.
Review Your Goals
Take a look at your bottom line and see if your goals are what your company needs. This may involve a huge overhaul in your company's CRM but will yield terrific results in the next year. Often taking a look at the building blocks of your loyalty program can really help you identify its weaknesses.
Although you may have a solid program base where customers know how things work, it may be time to shake thing s up a bit. Experiment with subtle changes to see what really hits a nerve with your customers. It could be anything from a new benefit or a simple "Thank You." Test on a small group of customers and see what works and what they appreciate. If you get any feedback, negative or positive, you'll be more aware of what your customers like.

Tzimmes is like chow mein or stew---almost anything goes. Try sauteing an onion and the adding sweet potatoes, carrots, prunes (if you want), orange juice, cinnamon, an apple or two (if you want), and a bit of brown sugar or maple syrup (if you want) and bake covered at 350 for an hour covered tightly OR cook on low heat on the stove for about the same time (stir occasionally so it doesn't burn. How's that, bubbelah?I wanted to combine his suggestions with some other recipes, so I cracked open my trusty Jewish cooking bible, Mama Leah's Jewish Kitchen. Mama Leah is a close friend of my family and is truly the Queen of Blintzes. I used her pareve Tzimmes recipe as the basis for my project this evening.
Tzimmmes, before cooking:
Tzimmes, after cooking:
The result was sweet and peppery, and tasted much like I remembered from my childhood. The only thing missing was the brisket!
10-12 large carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
2 large russet or Idaho potatoes, peeled and cubed
3 yams or sweet poatoes, peeled and cubed
1 medium onion, diced
2 stalks of celery, in 1" slices
2 cloves of garlic, crushed
18 large pitted prunes, cut in half
1/4 cup honey
1.5 apples, unpeeled and cubed
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
2.5 cups orange juice
1.5 teaspoons cinnamon
Place all ingredients in a pot. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 1 hour. Stir frequently. Cook until carrots are soft but not mushy. Tzimmes should have the consistency of a thick stew with very little liquid left in the pot. Serve hot.

The Honda Pilot is offered in five different trim levels: LX, EX, EX-L, Touring and Elite. The key difference between these models is the range of convenience features and luxury appointments offered. Across the entire lineup, powertrain offerings are essentially the same, with front-wheel-drive or 4-wheel-drive variants of each model.
All Pilots are powered by a 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 i-VTEC engine that utilizes variable cylinder management to allow the engine to run on fewer cylinders when cruising or coasting in order to save fuel. This V6 is the workhorse of Honda's lineup and allows smooth, strong acceleration, even with a heavy load. A 6-speed automatic transmission is standard while the Touring and Elite models get a 9-speed.
Honda's 4-wheel drive system is called VTM-4 (variable torque management). It automatically sends more power to the rear wheels when needed. For snowy driveways or muddy trails where a slow, steady grip -- and perhaps even a little slip -- would help, the system provides a "Lock" mode that works in first or second gear, up to 18 mph.
The Pilot is laid out more like a car than a truck, and that comes through with better handling, as well as a better on-road ride than might be expected from a big SUV. The rear multi-link, front-strut layout is close to what's offered in Honda's car lineup, while 4-wheel disc brakes, a variable-displacement steering pump and low rolling-resistance tires provide relatively lean performance on the road, with just a bit of added ruggedness. The rear suspension is mounted on a subframe, which helps isolate noise and vibration and acoustic glass helps keep out wind and road noise.
Inside, the Pilot's three rows of seating are laid out well enough to accommodate adults in all three rows, although the tallest passengers are best in the front two rows. The second and third rows have folding seatbacks and feature a 60/40 split, with cargo volume expanding to 87 cubic feet behind the front seats if everything's folded down.
Standard equipment on base Pilot LX models includes a 200-watt 7-speaker audio system with a subwoofer and USB input and remote keyless entry.
EX models add automatic headlights, fog lamps, dual-zone climate control, proximity entry, and an upgraded audio system that features Bluetooth, an 8-inch touchscreen interface and smartphone integration.
EX-L models get heated mirrors, leather-trimmed seats with memory and power-adjustable passenger seat, leather steering wheel and a power rear hatch.
Touring models are only available with all-wheel drive and include the 9-speed transmission, 20-inch alloy wheels, a power sunroof, heated power-adjustable front seats, adaptive cruise control, 3-zone climate control and an integrated navigation system.
The top-of-the-line Elite adds rain-sensing wipers, heated and ventilated seats, second-row captain's chairs and a heated steering wheel.
The automaker's Honda Sensing systems package, which is standard across all trims, includes a suite of safety-oriented systems that include a blind spot sensor, lane keeping assist, back-up camera and collision detection sensors.
Other options include leather seats, navigation and rear-seat entertainment on all but the LX.

Heating oil hits record high on LI; gas prices inch near $4
Heating oil hit a record on Long Island this week, averaging $4.347 a gallon, the highest ever during a heating season, the state said.
Meanwhile, regular gasoline nudged to within a hair's breadth of $4 a gallon Wednesday, the AAA said, up another 5.8 cents from a week earlier. The average, $3.998 a gallon, is up almost 24 cents from the recent low of $3.762 on Dec. 26.
Regular gas hasn't averaged $4 or more a gallon since Nov. 21, in the aftermath of superstorm Sandy.
About two-thirds of Long Island homes are heated with oil. The average home uses about 880 gallons a year, according to the Oil Heat Institute of Long Island. The average cost now to fill a typical homeowner's 275-gallon tank is $1,195.
The average price is based on a survey of full-service dealers by the state Energy Research and Development Authority. Monday's figure was the highest since Aug. 11, 2008, when the average was $4.411 a gallon -- a time when few Long Islanders would buy heating oil. The record in that survey was $4.93 a gallon, set on July 14, 2008, as crude oil briefly topped $140 a barrel.
Monday's average also was 12.5 cents higher than a year earlier.
Until this month, this season's relatively warm weather provided the Island's homeowners some relief; although temperatures were colder than during the previous heating season, they averaged almost five degrees above normal in December and 2.5 degrees above in January, said the National Weather Service.
Temperatures this month, however, have averaged three degrees below normal.
The rising costs of gasoline and heating oil are due largely to higher crude oil prices, experts say -- especially the foreign grades of crude used in production of much of the heating oil and gasoline refined in this region or imported from Europe to the East Coast.
Meanwhile, many refineries here and abroad are idled for maintenance and repairs. "We are now at the peak of maintenance season," said analyst Andy Lipow, president of the Houston consulting company Lipow Oil Associates Llc. He predicted that the facilities would be coming back on line in coming weeks, increasing fuel supplies and probably reducing prices.
John Maniscalco, chief executive of the New York Oil Heating Association, said supplies of heating oil and nearly identical diesel fuel have been tight since Sandy struck Oct. 29 because of the heavy use of diesel fuel to power emergency electrical generators.
