You'll be getting it back.
http://theppa.org/press-releases/2012/0 ... -07302012/
Pokerstars settled with the gov and bought FTP's major assets. They will allow all U.S. players to withdraw any funds they have left that has been locked up since black whatever day... One step closer to regulating online poker rooms? I sure hope so, I haven't been able to get my fix in quite a while. Casino's don't work because the lowest games they have are $1-2 NL or $2-4LH and no $5 S&Gs. I haven't played for a living in many years but I still liked to get on and screw around at the quarter tables or in $5 S&Gs or tourneys. I hope online poker comes back to the U.S.

It's a bit early to be talking about this conference since there isn't much information, no speakers, no programme, etc. but there's still time to pull that all together since the Inventions Nanotech Middle East Conference (aka, Inventions Nanotech ME) is scheduled for Nov. 3-5, 2013. From the Conference Overview page,
The Conference will host top notch industry experts from all over the world who will address the following crucial topics through live demonstrations and case studies:
Energy / Oil & Gas
Consumer Products
The event will be held at the Qatar National Convention Center.
There are two main sources of nanotech news items in that region. Iran or INIC (Iran Nanotechnology Initiative Council [my Dec. 27, 2012 posting]), which continuously publicizes its nanotechnology research, and Saudi Arabia (KAUST or King Abdullah University of Science and Technology), which publicizes its work on solar energy (my July 30, 2012 posting), for the most part.
Good luck to the conference organizers.

|I'm almost as sorry as my Paladin's transmog (and couldn't think of another picture to use)
There was nothing dramatic or earth-shattering about why I left. After playing almost uninterrupted since late Burning Crusade, I was just tired of the game. Nothing was necessarily wrong with it, but my life was changing. Hell, I was changing. When I left WoW, for once I meant it when I said "It's not you; it's me."
Things with my guild didn't help either, but it was nothing any of them did. We'd transferred from a dying server to one of the biggest PvE servers, hoping it'd be easier to recruit there. What we actually found was that, especially after falling behind due to our various issues in the previous tier, no one wanted to give us a chance. This meant it wasn't at all uncommon to end up pugging the last two or three slots in a 10-man group. Our other tank and I were solid, so at least we only needed DPS and occasionally a healer, but it still wasn't fun, and made progression difficult, to say the least.
At the same time I was getting tired of WoW, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn was nearing launch. I'd played some beta, and was interested enough to pre-order for early access. I actually didn't stick with that game for long, but it distracted me enough that when I logged on one raid night and only half our group was online, my partner and I both finally said "screw it" and started our break.
If you're still reading at this point, you may be happy to know there's good news. I've come back to the game, albeit in a much more casual, limited capacity. There were quite a few factors: BlizzCon, a glut of unexpected free time around the holidays, the fact that I still follow a few gold makers, etc.
Still, I initially didn't know if I wanted to continue with the blog. I'm just getting back into things. I'm playing on a more casual basis. There are plenty of times I just don't have much to say.
Two things influenced my decision the most. Firstly, one of my favorite gold bloggers, Faid, returned from quitting the game. She's also taking a much more casual approach, not just to her playtime, but also to her blog. Frankly, I like her new attitude on blogging. It's something she does first and foremost for herself now, and if someone is helped or entertained by reading it, more power to them. I highly recommend you give her a look at ClockworkRiot.com. She's a very intelligent and entertaining person, and someone I admire very much.
Secondly, I've been listening to quite a few podcasts on the subject of gold making (and there are certainly many more than there were even a year ago). Things have changed enough since I left that I sometimes find myself floundering, and ideas are always helpful. Jim Younkin of Power Word Gold has a relatively new side venture called The GLDMKR Podcast. It's produced daily(ish), but each one is very easily digestible at about 5 minutes. I was getting caught up on that, and got to Episode 9. It was definitely different, with Jim launching right into a lengthy list of names for almost the entire episode. Near the end of it, I was surprised to catch my own name. Only at the end did he finally explain that this was a list of all the people who have started gold blogs in the last 3 years. Jim, if you end up reading this, I just want you to know that hearing that meant a lot to me.
In the end, I decided to shake the dust off the blog and continue it. What does it matter if my posting schedule is inconsistent, if I get busy sometimes, or don't have anything in particular to say? It's not about making someone else happy or living up to their expectations. It's about me, reflecting on my journey. If someone finds any information in it that helps them, that's great. If they don't, they don't. In the end, it's not about them.
This is my story.
|Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Is this true love?
By Richard Gough
9 May 2012
Of course this is a very new love affair as the Olympus OM-D E5 is a new camera but I have used the 45mm M.ZUIKO lens since November 2011 when, attached to a Olympus Pen E-PM1, it travelled to the Falkland Islands with me for a pilgrimage visit with other UK vetrans.
My favourite subject in photography is telling stories that are people focussed, I am a very active amateur photojournalist. As a Falklands War veteran this means that a lot of my stories come from events and reunions where I am also part of the story. Therefore my camera and lens of choice need to be low profile, easy to use and fast so I get to capture the right moment the first time. Given this requirement the entry of the highly anticipated Olympus OM-D E5 into the marketplace got my attention immediately.
The Olympus OM System was a line of 35mm single-lens reflex cameras, lenses and accessories sold by Olympus between 1972 and 2002 and they were very popular. When Olympus announced the OM-D range in 2011 they stated "..the OLYMPUS OM-D, picks up where the original OM series left off. Like the popular PEN Series models, the OLYMPUS OM-D features a compact, lightweight design that's fully compliant with the Micro Four Thirds System standard. But whereas the PEN Series inherited the convenience, simplicity, and high image quality offered by the PEN Series in the film age, the OLYMPUS OM-D has inherited the tradition of a true system SLR from the OM Series. The OLYMPUS OM-D is designed for serious camera buffs who want to make full use of interchangeable lenses and shoot photographic masterpieces by looking into the viewfinder, without having to worry about the weather or environmental conditions. Sand, sun, sleet, or snow, the OLYMPUS OM-D is a camera that's ready to go."
My experience with the Olympus OM-D E5 so far has been nothing short of perfection. It is light, responsive and coupled with the M.ZUIKO Digital 45mm f/1.8 lens is, for me, a perfect photojournalism tool. Some of the photographs featured here taken at the HMS Ardent 30th reunion in Plymouth required that I observed and took images as low key as possible. Not only is this a hugely dignified event but I also had to observe strict protocol rules when photographing the Duchess of Gloucester a member of the British Royal family. The 45mm lens (equivalent to 90mm in 35mm terms) gave me the required distant from my subject to stay in the background. The fast f/1.8 lens coupled with the 16 million pixel Live MOS Four Thirds sensor and TruePic VI image processor gave me the low light capabilities i needed to operate without using flash. Also, as a prime lens, the 45mm lens gave typically very sharp images and at its wide maximum aperture it produces a beautiful shallow depth of field, ideal for portraits and photojournalism when you want to isolate your subject to bring impact to your story telling.
So will this love affair stand the test of time, I think yes. I have used Olympus PEN cameras since purchasing my PEN EP2 in April 2010. The OM-D E5 camera for me is a perfect step-up from a PEN especially the great image quality and its retro appeal. And what of the M.ZUIKO Digital 45mm f/1.8 lens? Well I have a feeling that this lens is going to outlast any changes to my camera bodies over the next few years because it is just perfect for my style of photography and will be my precious for many years to come!

ROCHESTER — It's 8 a.m. at Chamberlain Street School when Mary Horton, cafeteria worker, opens the door to the kitchen to reveal a long line of elementary schoolers.
Kindergartners through fifth-graders file through the kitchen, choosing their breakfasts from milk, orange slices, cheese and ham bagel melts and a variety of cereals. Students sit at tables or on the floor to eat, talk with friends and play games before school starts.
It seems like a typical elementary school scenario. However, breakfast is free for all students at the eight elementary schools in Rochester.
Rochester is able to do this because of funding from the School Breakfast Program and National School Lunch Program, federal initiatives that provide participating schools with federal funds to offer free and reduced breakfasts for low-income students.
A Jan. 15 report from the Food Research and Action Center showed that for the first time nationally more than 50 percent of students who participated in the lunch program also participated in the breakfast program during the 2011-2012 academic year. The programs require the same application, but the breakfast program is underutilized in most states because it is newer and more complicated to provide.
In New Hampshire, only 38.2 percent of students in the free and reduced lunch program also participated in the breakfast program. The Granite State has the second lowest participation rate in the country, after Utah.
This disparity in participation means that many low-income children are not getting the food they need to start the day.
"For many kids, school is their only regular place to get a meal," Erika Argersinger, Public Policy Director of the Children's Alliance of New Hampshire, said.
Cheri White, administrator for the N.H. Department of Education's Bureau of Nutrition, cites transportation issues, timing, staff available in schools and the community not seeing a need for the program as some current issues.
"Implementing the breakfast program is traditionally harder in rural area schools," Erika Argersinger, Public Policy Director at the Children's Alliance of N.H., said. "Breakfast is usually before school starts and many kids have long bus rides and may only arrive just in time for classes."
At Chamberlain Street School, most kids arrive in time to grab their free breakfast. However, Tom Tanner, Director of Dining Services for Rochester School District, says the school is continuing to work to reach more students. At Chamberlain, 51.77 percent of students were eligible for free or reduced meals, according to the N.H. Department of Education.
"We're willing to do whatever it takes to make sure kids are ready to learn," he said. "The Rochester community has a lot of low-income families. Anything we can to help the children in the school districts is great."
Providing breakfasts for students is a big initiative because of its nutritional and academic value for students, according to Argersinger.
"At the basic level, if the child is sitting there hungry, they're not going to concentrate," she said. "The lack of proper breakfast has been shown to do everything from improving test scores to increasing focus to decreasing emotional and behavioral problems as well as nutritional benefits."
Children's Alliance of N.H. is working to improve participation in these programs. They work with parents, school boards and the Legislature to better implement or adapt the program for different school's situations.
"Overall, we want to raise awareness in terms of access and nutrition by sharing information about successful strategies," said Argersinger. "There are alternative ways of proving breakfast. Some schools have breakfast in the classroom, others have earlier snack times where kids can go to the cafeteria for breakfast, and some are even able to offer breakfast on the school bus."
At Chamberlain, the cafeteria is left open all morning and if a teacher or nurse finds a child hasn't eaten they'll be sent to get food. Tanner also is working on serving breakfast in the classroom, where he says it would really show an impact.
In Rochester, Tanner says peer pressure and stigma are not a problem, like they are elsewhere. Students who receive free or reduced-price meals simply punch in their number like all the other students; they are simply charged less. The real challenge is getting parents to sign up.
"It's really just getting parents to accept that maybe they need assistance sometimes," Tanner said. "If it helps out the child, that's the bottom line."
While only Rochester elementary schools offer free breakfasts for all students, all schools in the district offer free and reduced breakfasts and lunches for students who meet the federal qualifications. Families whose income is 130 percent of the poverty level or below receive free meals, while families that earn between 130 and 185 percent are eligible for meals at a reduced cost, which does not exceed 40 cents.
This means that students coming from a family of four with an income under $29,965 are eligible for free meals, while a family of four with an income under $42,643 qualify for reduced price meals for their children.
Schools participating in the breakfast and lunch programs receive federal reimbursements for each meal served, whether they are free, reduced or paid. The state of New Hampshire contributes an additional 3 cents per meal.
This system was designed by the USDA to make the programs function on a balanced budget. However, program cost varies depending on the price of food in the area, thus programs are not always balanced in districts, according to White.
In the case of the Rochester School District, there is a slight surplus of funds. This is why they are able to provide free breakfasts to all elementary schoolers regardless of income.
"Though the funding is tight, we've decided a universally free program is worth it for our children to have full bellies in the morning," said Tanner.
In N.H., two-thirds of students receive free or reduced price meals at breakfast while one-third pay full price, according to the report.
Nationally, the programs provided over 31.4 million children with free and reduced meals during the last academic year. In 2012, the federal expenditure was $10.4 billion.
The programs require a set of nutritional standards to be met by participating schools. The standards were updated in 2010 to require more whole grains, vegetables and fruits to be offered for students. If a school meets these requirements, they receive an additional six cents in funding per meal, though this only applies for breakfast meals at present, as the standards are still being implemented.
Rochester had no problem implementing the requirements, but Tanner believes other, smaller schools may have had a tough time.
"There were some drastic changes that might have taken some schools by surprise and make it harder," said Tanner.
However, White has not seen many schools unable to meet the standards, which she attributes to schools having already taken steps toward new, healthier, meal patterns.
Other initiatives are also in place to deal with childhood hunger. Some schools now offer after-school snacks or summer meals, with the help of federal funding. Rochester School District offers a summer meals program for every child under 18, which provides around 200 breakfasts and lunches Monday through Friday.
In addition, community groups such as End 68 Hours of Hunger are working on providing meals for children during the weekend, when free meals are unavailable at schools. The organization provides more than 500 area children with backpacks of food each weekend.

A judge has revoked Saluda murder suspect Brandon Case's bond after Case was charged with larceny earlier this month while free on bond.
A judge has revoked Saluda murder suspect Brandon Case's bond after Case was charged with larceny earlier this month while free on bond.
Case, 24, of 2643 Macedonia Road, was ordered Tuesday in Superior Court to be held without bond.
He was arrested Dec. 7 for breaking into an outbuilding and removing a $700 generator and an industrial drop cord valued at $20. Deputies with the Polk County Sheriff's Office charged Case with felony breaking and entering and larceny.
His attorney, Roy Neill, told the court the new charges stemmed from a family squabble. He said Case was asked to retrieve the items from his grandfather.
"The breaking and entering — I think that when that finally comes down, this is an inter-family issue whether or not he could take the generator from his grandfather's house. He says he did it for his mother," Neill said.
According to a police report, detectives said Case and Amanda Maybin, 29, had "cut the pad locks off of a trailer" at 719 Laurel Drive, the Saluda home of Case's grandfather, 80-year-old Carl Lee McGraw. Investigators found a generator and drop cord that had been taken from the trailer in the suspects' vehicle.
Case's grandfather identified the items as belonging to his son, 52-year-old Carl Edward McGraw, Case's uncle, and said they were "supposed to be locked up inside the trailer," according to the report.
"I don't know if this is a breaking and entering or if it rises to the level of breaking and entering," Neill said, adding that it sounds more like a "family dispute."
Case was charged with murder in connection with the Feb. 22 death of Joshua William Lindsay. His bond was set at $500,000 in March. He was released on bond and was set to appear in Henderson County Superior Court on June 24, but the arrest in Polk County made his appearance come early.
Carl Lee and Emma G. McGraw, Case's grandparents, put three of their properties — valued at $188,503 — up as collateral for Case to post bail. The family used A&A Bonding to cover the remainder of the half-a-million-dollar bond and Case was released in June, according to court records. With the bond now revoked, the property will be released from any obligation to the case.
"The defendant has picked up several charges since he's been out on bond, which has led to concern of the welfare of the citizens of the county," Assistant District Attorney Doug Pearson told Judge Mark Powell.
Pearson said that on Nov. 22, Case was cited for driving with a revoked license and for littering.
Pearson requested the judge revoke Case's bond or raise it in excess of $500,000. He said counsel has not determined whether to try Case for life without parole or the death penalty in regards to the upcoming murder trial.
Case was issued a bond of $100,000 in Polk County Court on Dec. 12 for the Dec. 7 charges of breaking and entering.
Neill said Case's mother is not able to make that bond. He asked for the judge's leniency. His mother cried in the courtroom as her son was led back to jail.

MAC 231 Small Shader Brush Photos & Review
Beauty Basics: MAC Eye Brushes
Beauty Basics is a series covering basic products and tools that help to make applying your makeup easier. To view the entire series to date, be sure to visit the beauty basics, or you can view posts within the series about MAC Eye Brushes.
Focus On: MAC 231 Small Shader Brush
MAC 231 Small Shader Brush ($17.50) is small, flat brush made out of synthetic fibers. The end is slightly domed/rounded, and the brush itself is pretty small and short. It kind of reminds me of a lip brush, actually! I find myself using this mostly to apply creamy products when I only want them on a specific area. The smallness of this brush allows me to have control over where I want to place the product, and the flatness of the brush allows me to smooth out creamy products easily. I also like using it to apply concealer/foundation around lips when doing a bolder lip look. This is also a more specialized brush, so it is not a must-have for everyone.
How do you like to use this brush?

A man was killed and three other people were shot in four separate incidents Tuesday and early Wednesday in Baltimore, police said.
The man was shot about 9:45 p.m. in the 1600 block of Presstman Street in West Baltimore's Sandtown-Winchester neighborhood, near the Gilmor Homes housing project. Police said he was shot in the neck and he died in the hospital shortly before 10:30 p.m.
Around 12:20 p.m. officers went to the 2400 block of North Monroe Street in the Mondawmin neighborhood where they found a man who had been shot in the left buttock, police said.
In West Baltimore, a woman was shot in the leg Tuesday evening, and her injuries were not expected to be life-threatening, police said.
The woman was shot in the 2400 block of Madison Avenue in the Reservoir Hill neighborhood about 8 p.m., police said. Officers are looking for two men in connection with the attack, police said.
About 20 minutes later, officers went to Maryland General Hospital to investigate a report of someone who had walked in suffering a gunshot wound, police said. The officers spoke to a 24-year-old man who was suffering a graze to his lips, according to police.
The man said he was standing outside the Mini Mart in the 600 block of Laurens Street in the Upton neighborhood when a blue minivan with tinted windows pulled up and someone inside fired a gun, police said. Beyond that, police described the victim as "very uncooperative."

Here's How Netflix Is Shaking Up Hollywood

Netflix road and and said hey what if there's another party at the table what is in exchange for us getting the streaming rights exclusively ... were willing to pony up some cash and that's what happened was that it's a new style of deal it's a share in the cost burden sharing the cost burden so that the Fox TV studio that that was the ... producer of the show ... aam can then go to the cable network and say hey we can be cannot accept a lower fee from you for this and when I mean a possible when will we get to see the third season ... on Netflix ... so Netflix as part of the steel they wrangled out ... on a very quick elliptical we know in Hollywood which is three months after the finale of ...

But when there is ice out, but with big holes in it, or ice near the shoreline but open water farther out,
It is incredibly painful when you are kiting along at 20-30mph on thin ice and it breaks under you and you slam into the water and these thick panes of ice wedge up under you as you crash into them busting up your ribs and legs. You will be sore for days after a crash like that. So now I make it a habit when the ice is thin hit the water only. But it's ok for doing the water to ice transition from time to time in a snowboard + wetsuit.
Get friends to help you make a path thru the ice, it is so tiring bashing a path to the water if you do it yourself.

A forum member at HummerXClub.com wasn't satisfied with the front independent suspension on his H3 Alpha, so he ripped it out and went solid axle, he also chopped the truck up and made it a slant back. Totally cool.
The slant back H1 was always our favorite version of the Humvee and several Hummer concepts borrowed the roof line, but there hasn't been a slant back Hummer, until now. The "H3 Recon" project is a radical re-imagination of the Hummer H3 Alpha, completely re-engineering the front and rear suspension while fabricating a slant back rear end. Up front the independent suspension was chucked out in favor of a ProRock60 solid axle hanging from a three-link suspension with a Jeep steering system. Out back is another ProRock60 axle with an EvoLever system pushing on Fox shocks.
The body was modified with a closed rear slant back leading to a modified rear hatch cut down to swing under the rear deck. The plastic pull handles were replaced with aftermarket Jeep Wrangler flush-mount handles and the whole thing was dipped in a shade of desert brown. Calling the final product bad ass is kind of an understatement and it'll be showing up in Four Wheeler Magazine in the not too distant future. We can only imagine the looks of envy this will be getting on the trails. [HummerXClub Thread via HummerGuy]

My favorite part was when Katie, as Lounie, made the dessert pizza because I wanted to taste it. The story reminds me of my life because my step-dad worked in a pizza place like Lounie. Katie changed because of the magic wind. She also changed into Lounie. This book is not like anything I have read about because it is sad.
I think you should read this book if you like sad stories. My book is really interesting because it's funny, sad, and it's great. You should really read this book.

Double Suicide
Kichiemon Nakamura & Shima Iwashita in Double Suicide (1969, dir. Masahiro Shinoda) (via)
A torinói ló (The Turin Horse) dir. Tarr Béla 2011
In Turin on 3rd January, 1889, Friedrich Nietzsche steps out of the doorway of number six, Via Carlo Albert. Not far from him, the driver of a hansom cab is having trouble with a stubborn horse. Despite all his urging, the horse refuses to move, whereupon the driver loses his patience and takes his whip to it. Nietzsche comes up to the throng and puts an end to the brutal scene, throwing his arms around the horse's neck, sobbing. His landlord takes him home, he lies motionless and silent for two days on a divan until he mutters the obligatory last words, and lives for another ten years, silent and demented, cared for by his mother and sisters. We do not know what happened to the horse.
It's over two hours but contains only thirty uninterrupted takes.
"The Turin Horse" begins with a story about how Nietzsche once saw a cab driver abusing a horse on the street. He ran up to the horse and hugged it. This event, the legend goes, drove him insane. After a powerful opening tracking shot of an old man driving a horse through a forbidding landscape, the film focuses on its main area of interest, the daily lives of the old man and his daughter.
We are shown six tedious and somewhat monotonous days in their meager lives. Tarr seems fascinated by their routines and their attempts to cling to it as the world (or at least their world) is coming to an end. Tarr cares not about storytelling – very little happens in this film in terms of plot and dialogue. Rather, "The Turin Horse" takes advantage of the resources unique to cinema – beautifully choreographed camera movements, exceptional usage of lighting, depiction of events in real time, and the plasticity of perspective. As the film progresses, it gradually shuts down somewhat like an anti-Genesis story. It feels like God is unmaking the world in six days.
"Do you remember, Milan Kundera wrote this book about the lightness of the being? We just wanted to show you the heaviness of the being."
Hungarian director Bela Tarr in The New York Times, promoting his latest (and possibly last) film, The Turin Horse.
The problem is that most films follow the same pattern: Action, cut, action, cut. They only watch the story line. But story is not only human actions, everything can be a story. A man waiting at a corner can be a story. There is many things that are important in real life but that filmmakers find boring. I don't think that these things are boring. In my films, I want to be closer to life than to cinema.
Jeremy Meckler: Is it a coincidence that what you have said is your last film is about the last moment of sanity in Friedrich Nietzsche's life?
Béla Tarr: Of course there is some connection, because before, when I started this project, I knew it would be my last. But you have to know also that we really just wanted to do a very simple, very pure film. We're just showing how [the world] will be over, the horse will be over, life will be over. It's very simple. Please just trust your eyes. That's too much—don't be sophisticated, okay?!
"Because everything's in ruins. Everything's been degraded, but I could say that they've ruined and degraded everything. Because this is not some kind of cataclysm, coming about with so-called, innocent human aide. On the contrary… It's about man's own judgement, his own judgement over his own self, which of course God has a hand in, or dare I say: takes part in. And whatever he takes part in is the most ghastly creation that you can imagine. Because, you see, the world has been debased. So it doesn't matter what I say because everything has been debased that they've acquired, and since they've acquired everything in a sneaky, underhand fight, they've debased everything. Because whatever they touch – and they touch everything – they've debased. This is the way it was until the final victory. Until the triumphant end. Acquire, debase. Debase, acquire. Or I can put it differently if you like: to touch, debase and thereby acquire, or touch, acquire and thereby debase. It's been going on like this for centuries. On, on and on. This and only this, sometimes gently, sometimes brutally, but it has been going on and on. Yet only in one way, like a rat attacks an ambush. Because for this perfect victory it was also essential that the other side… That is, everything that's excellent, great in some way and noble should not engage in any kind of fight. There shouldn't be any kind of struggle, just the sudden disappearance of one side, meaning the disappearance of the excellent, the great, the noble. So that by now these winning winners who attack from the ambush rule the earth, and there isn't a single tiny nook where one can hide something from them, because everything they can lay their hands on is theirs. Even things we think they can't reach – but they do reach – are also theirs. Because the sky is already theirs and all our dreams. Theirs is the moment, nature, infinite silence. Even immorality is theirs, you understand? Everything, everything is lost forever! And those many noble, great and excellent just stood there, if I can put it that way. They stopped at this point, and had to understand, and had to accept that there is neither god nor gods. And the excellent, the great and the noble had to understand and accept this right from the beginning. But of course they were quite incapable of understanding it. They believed it and accepted it but they didn't understand it. They just stood there, bewildered but not resigned, until something – that spark from the brain – finally enlightened them. And all at once they realized that there is neither god nor gods. All at once they saw that there is neither good nor bad. Then they saw and understood that if this was so, then they themselves do not exist either! You see, I reckon this may have been the moment when we can say that they were extinguished, they burnt out. Extinguished and burnt out like the fire left to smolder in the meadow. One was the constant loser, the other was the constant winner. Defeat, victory, defeat, victory and one day – here in the neighborhood – I had to realize and I did realize, that I was mistaken, I was truly mistaken when I thought that there has never been and could never be any kind of change here on earth. Because, believe me, I know now that this change has indeed taken place."

Ed. Note: At the age of nine, Joel Bartsch was shown a pyrite crystal, and became fascinated with gemstones and crystals from that point forward. After college, he worked in five museums around the country, returning to his native Houston in 1991, where he is now president of the Houston Museum of Natural Science. Bartsch founded a gem vault at the museum, which boasts one of the most extensive collections of minerals in the country, including a 1,869-carat natural emerald crystal, the largest ever discovered in North America. This article originally appeared in the Oct. 2008 issue of In Design Magazine.
My jewelry store would be a fascinating place to visit.
It would be underground, first of all. When people see gemstones that are cut, polished, and finished, the stones are so far removed from their natural environment that people really don't make the connection between the fabulous jewel they're wearing and Mother Nature. So, my store would be located under the earth – if not in a working mine, then at least in a replica. It would have crystals sticking out of air pockets in the walls, just as they're found naturally. The whole thing would be like walking into an underground version of Aladdin's cave, with several different caverns – all the rubies would be here, the emeralds here, the diamonds over there – and everything reinforcing the awe and mystery surrounding the origin of crystals.

I wouldn't carry any jewelry that was anywhere near normal. Now, I love white, colorless diamonds as much as anybody. But they've become commodities. So I wouldn't carry ANY white diamonds – only super-fancy colors, like purples and pinks. None of my store's gemstones would have any enhancements. Really, once you have to explain to customers that it's been thermally-enhanced, or irradiated, or had a laser treatment to remove inclusions, it sounds like a synthetic production. Again, I want to reinforce the link between these marvels and nature itself, which only adds to the value.
As for my customers, I would allow them in by appointment only… of course, kids are welcome at any time. Kids still have a sense of wonder and excitement about nature. If you show them the simplest piece of amethyst, they react with a big "Wow!" But when you see adults in a jewelry store, they act so unaffected, like they don't want the salesperson to know that they like anything. So, adults would only be welcome in the store after they've passed a written test.

Stephen Witherden
A test, you say? Let me explain. Back in the 17th century, there were lists of rules for visiting museums. In those days, museums weren't public; you had to already have knowledge of a subject before you were allowed inside. My store would be the same way.
That may sound harsh, but really my point is that I want people coming in who truly appreciate what jewelry is. Perhaps they'd take a stonecutting course, or goldsmithing, or gemstone panning, all of which I would offer in the store. After all, the best customer is an educated customer. They may still have issues with the price, but at least they will understand how rare and unusual these gemstones are.
Finally, I would have a bevy of jewelry designers available for customers once they've chosen a gemstone. The designer would sit down with these customers and sketch out ideas, which would drive home the point that the design process adds more value to a piece of jewelry than anything else. Let's face it: gold, silver, platinum, diamonds, rubies, emeralds – in today's world, they're commodities, like five pounds of beans or 50 pounds of flour. What really creates value is the design process.
Faberge was once asked, "How do you decide how much one of your pieces is worth, compared to your competitors?" He answered, "If you want to know what my competitors' jewelry is worth, just put it on the scale." The point he was making was that they had no design sense – that the only value in their pieces was the weight of the diamonds or gold. The reason his jewelry was so highly priced was that it had a tremendous amount of creative value added to it.
At the end of their time in my store, when my customer has a fabulously beautiful piece of jewelry that they helped design, made up of totally natural stones and materials, and they're doing it down in this crystal cave in a natural setting, not only will they have a grand appreciation for the finished piece, but they'll have an incredible story to tell about the entire process.

Marc Andreessen, the entrepreneur and investor who has recently backed Bitcoin startup Coinbase, says Mt. Gox "had to die" for Bitcoin to thrive.
Continue Reading Below
The comments from Andreessen, whose firm Andreessen Horowitz led a $25 million funding round for Bitcoin marketplace Coinbase late last year, says his commitment and encouragement regarding the digital currency remain unchanged.
"Every important new technology has birthing pains," he said, adding that the role of Mt. Gox in early Bitcoin adoption "has been supplanted by better, stronger entities."
Andreessen, who sits on the boards of both Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) and eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY), says Bitcoin protocol and transaction networks continue to run normally, signaling there is no "substantive technical issue."
Mt. Gox, formally the premiere trading site for Bitcoin, halted all transactions on Tuesday in a bid to protect the website and its users after reports surfaced of a multi-year scheme conducted through the exchange that may have led to the theft of 6% of Bitcoins currently in circulation.
Withdrawals have been halted since Feb. 7 when other Mt. Gox vulnerabilities were first unveiled, and investors are now fearful they will not be able to get their money back.
"MtGox is gone," said entrepreneur and Bitcoin holder Erik Voorhees Monday night on Reddit. "So let's prepare ourselves."
Bitcoin, popular for its anonymity and untraceable nature, is the most popular of several unregulated virtual currencies; however, one of its biggest criticisms is its extreme volatility as it remains hypersensitive to tech glitches and theft.
Several rival exchanges have since come out and defended the reliability of Bitcoin and the overall digital currency market, but the Mt. Gox woes and recent Bitcoin sell-off – the currency has lost about half of its value over the last three months – have critics once again calling for regulation.
"Mt. Gox does not equal Bitcoin," Duke University professor Campbell Harvey said. "The collapse of Mt. Gox has shaken confidence in all cryptocurrencies but it does not mean the end of the road."
If anything, he adds, Mt. Gox's collapse might signal "the end of the 'wild west'" of anonymous digital currencies.

Flounder, ducks make news here in Southeast Texas
Even though the water temperature on Sabine Lake is slowly dropping, it's still an unseasonably warm 66.5 degrees. That's good news for flounder fishermen on the lower end of the lake and in the pass. Guide Jerry Norris says he's never seen the flounder fishing as good as it is right now.
"It's a no-brainer to go out and catch a limit of five flounder," said Norris. "And it doesn't really matter what you use as long as it's some sort of jig worked on bottom. I've been flounder fishing on Sabine a long time. It's never been this good this late in the year. I think we'll continue to catch some pretty nice flounder until we get a hard cold front."
The daily limit on flounder in Texas is five per day with a 14-inch minimum length. The only exception is November when it's two per person on rod and reel only.
Some of the best catches are in Sabine Pass on both the Louisiana and Texas shorelines. Two of the hot spots are at the Causeway bridge. If you go, expect to see lots of fishermen. The bulkhead along the Walter Umphrey State Park has been packed with fishermen. Ditto that for the Louisiana side of the Causeway. Points and shallow sandy flats are good in the pass for boaters fishing with live finger mullet and jigs tipped with small pieces of shrimp.
Duck season reopens Dec. 8
The second split of the duck season reopens on Saturday, Dec. 8, and runs through Jan. 27 in both the North and South zones. I've been getting scattered scouting reports from across Texas. The best hunts in the first split were right here in Southeast Texas along the coastal marshes and on flooded fields. Duck hunts on the High Plains Mallard Management Unit in North Texas are very slow. That's mainly due to a severe lack of water in the lakes. The guys I hunt with up around Waco say the number of ducks there are way off, compared to last season. The coastal flats around Port O'Connor and on down to Port Mansfield are holding good numbers of red heads and fair numbers of pintails. The one thing we need right now is a good push of cold air from up on the northern end of the Central Fly Way. A lot of areas up that way normally have 2 feet of snow on the ground at this time of year. Incredibly there is no snow on the ground in many of those states.
Black bears in the Hill Country
Mike Cox with the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department reports that black bear activity is on the upswing in the Hill Country and South Texas
Though historically it has been very rare for bears to be sighted south or east of Val Verde County, so far in 2012 there have been a dozen such sightings, many by deer hunters.
"This is likely a result of a growing number of bears in Mexico dispersing and searching for food after severe droughts and wildfires," said TPWD biologist Jonah Evans of Alpine, the department's bear coordinator. "Whether these sightings signify a permanent re-colonization of Central and South Texas remains to be seen."
While black bears are native to all of Texas, in the early 1900s, heavy hunting and trapping completely eliminated them from the state. Currently, the only established breeding populations are in the Big Bend area of West Texas.
"Black bears are generally not a risk to humans," Evans says. "But they can become a nuisance if they gain a taste for human food, pet food or trash. We've recently received several reports of bears tipping over and damaging deer feeders and a few raiding trash cans along the border."
Evans says the department's goal is for people and bears to coexist peacefully.
"By eliminating food rewards, we eliminate most of the problems," he said. "Many communities in bear country have effectively adapted to live with bears, but it takes everyone working together and doing their part."
TPWD is asking for people to report all bear sightings. Since black bears are a threatened species in Texas, they cannot be legally hunted or harmed.
If you see a bear, report it to Jonah Evans at (432) 837-2051, ext. 228.

Decorate with wicker
Wicker is a summer design staple, but it doesn't have to be contained to the porch or a beachside cottage! Here are some tips for bringing the material indoors.
Change up the color
Wicker furniture tends to come in two hues, neutral and white. The neutral can be limiting in terms of design, and white runs the risk of being too reminiscent of your grandmother's living room. If you find a chair in the material�but it doesn't entirely fit with your d�cor, be proactive and change the color yourself with some spray paint. The process is simple, and almost always comes out professional looking. Just be sure to use a white primer first.
Painting your wicker furniture gives you the opportunity to totally streamline your design. Choosing a deep color, like navy or dark red, makes the piece grown-up and sophisticated, quite the trip from the kitschy dollhouse wicker we're used to. Match the hue to a color that already exists in the room, say from your roman shades or cushions.
Go bold and exotic
The summery feel of the material - think hot afternoons on the porch sipping cocktails in a wicker chair - gives it the potential to be exotic and exciting. Experiment with bright punches of color like orange and fuchsia in striking patterns on throw pillows or tablecloths. Keeping the wicker in its neutral color helps to lessen�the punch, but the intricate weave manages to keep up with the daring hues and patterns. Further the exotic theme by scattering fragrant floral arrangements wildly throughout the room.
Stay neutral
Ever the versatile material, wicker is able to weave itself seamlessly into a room of all light brown, adding the necessary texture to make a monochromatic room interesting. Granted, this doesn't have to be an all-beige room, but letting the natural pigment of the wicker speak for itself and flow through the rest of the space looks clean and airy. Keep the walls white�and decorate in shades of taupe, making sure to vary the texture throughout the area. Draw contrast between the wicker furnishings and the cushions that top them by keeping the fabric silky and smooth, like in a silk or suede material, and add further texture by using bamboo blinds.�

Describing How To Create A Software Program Now Puts You At Risk Of Contributory Patent Infringement?
from the for-the-purpose-of-teaching... dept
The developer points out how silly this is:
Why does Landmark Digital Services think they hold a patent for the concepts used in my code? Even if my code works pretty different from the Shazam code (from which the patents came).After talking it over with some attorneys, he realized that it probably wasn't worth the potential lawsuit to publish the code he wrote over the weekend, as ridiculous as that sounds. But then things got more ridiculous, as the lawyers for Landmark demanded he take down the original blog post as well, saying that it could teach others how to infringe the patent:
What they describe in the patent is a system which:
1. Make a series of fingerprints of a media file and/or media sample (such as audio, but could also be text, video, multimedia, etc) 2. Have a database/hashtable of fingerprints as lookup 3. Compare the set of hashtable hits using their moment in time it happened This is very vague, basically the only innovative idea is matching the found fingerprints linearly in time. Because the first two steps describe how a hashtable works and creating a hash works. These concepts are not new nor innovative.
But, with a bit of imagination one could (possibly) argue that my code (again, written completely by myself in a weekend with some spare time) does the same thing as the patent describes.
As I'm sure you are aware, your blogpost may be viewed internationally. As a result, you may contribute to someone infringing our patents in any part of the world. While we trust your good intentions, yes, we would like you to refrain from releasing the code at all and to remove the blogpost explaining the algorithm.Great, so now we have to worry about contributory patent infringement as well? Are we really going to keep stretching third party liability to such ridiculous levels? Explaining to people how they might possibly build a simple app is now putting yourself at risk of liability?

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gave the public a chance to comment on its proposed cleanup of the Gowanus Canal at two public hearings last week.
Currently, the Gowanus Canal has more than a dozen contaminants, including heavy metals, mercury and lead. The major issue, however, is the polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), which have properties that can cause cancer and have harmful neurological effects on the body.
Project manager Christos Tsiamis went into detail about the plan at a Wednesday night meeting in Carroll Gardens. He said that the overall cost would range from $467 to $507 million and won't be completed until roughly 2032.
However, he did say that the selection of a remedy and the plan itself will be finalized by this summer.
The money for the cleanup will be coming from those deemed responsible for the pollution, which include 20 different parties. The two main groups that will have to finance the Superfund cleanup, though, are National Grid and the City of New York.
The EPA has a proposed plan that would split the canal into three parts, isolating separate issues with the canal. Each area would be dredged, and in some cases the material will be treated and used again in the canal.
However, some of the dredged material will have to be taken to an offsite facility to be cleaned or discarded.
One community member who attended the meeting praised the EPA for being transparent throughout the process.
"I would like to thank the EPA," she said. "This is really an example of why we need government to work well with the community."
The woman had a building that flooded as a result of overflow from the canal during Hurricane Sandy. She asked what EPA will do to help prevent contaminants from flooding the neighborhood if a hurricane were to hit the area again during the decades-long cleanup.
"If we perceive that a larger storm is coming we will take all necessary actions to shut down activities and to secure the entire project site," said an EPA representative.
Another resident requested that the EPA use barges to transport all harmful materials instead of using trucks that would likely cause traffic issues and health risks for residents.
"We have included in the plan that most transportation will be done by barge," Tsiamis said, adding he would push the EPA to have all of the transportation of materials from the site done by water, which garnered a round of applause.
The public has until March 28 to submit comments or questions directly to the EPA regarding their proposed.

Last Wednesday Interveterans Council provided military burial rites at Camp Butler National Cemetery for those who had been buried there previously without those honors.
I truly appreciate this, as my dad, SSgt. William L. Sutton, U.S. Army Air Corps, was one of them.
When he was buried in late December 1989, the wind chill factor was about 40 degrees below zero. We weren�t allowed out of our cars for a committal service, so it was done at the funeral home. My mother was told she could request military rites, but she chose not to do so due to the cold.
It�s been a long time coming, but it has been done and that is what matters. Thank you to all who took part in the planning of the service and to the Interveterans Council for honoring their fellow veterans.

Nevada's New Sea Monster!
Scientists announced a new, giant marine reptile that was discovered in Nevada. Named Thalattoarchon, it is an early member of the ichthyosaur family. The fossil, found in central Nevada, is about 244 million years old. These were a family of air-breathing reptiles that inhabited seas and oceans all over the world during the Mesozoic period. Thalattoarchon lived in Nevada at a time when dinosaurs were just beginning to appear, millions of years before the land-dwelling giants dominated the dry parts of the planet. Its name means "lizard eating ruler of the sea" and it was about 30 feet (9 meters) long, with a large head and over 100 sharp teeth. Since Nevada was covered with water for most of the age of the dinosaurs, our state fossil is the ichthyosaur.

Workshop Proceeding
Toxicity Pathway-Based Risk Assessment: Preparing for Paradigm Change: A Symposium Summary (2010)Board on Environmental Studies and Toxicology
New tools and technologies are bringing about a revolution in toxicity testing. In 2007, a committee of the National Research Council proposed a vision that embraced recent scientific advances and set a new course for toxicity testing. In this new paradigm, biologically important perturbations in key toxicity pathways are evaluated with new methods in molecular biology, bioinformatics, computational toxicology, and a comprehensive array of in vitro tests based primarily on human biology. Today, new approaches are being developed and are generating new data that need to be evaluated. This summary presents highlights from a May 2009 symposium, convened at the request the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to stimulate discussion on the application of these approaches and data in risk assessment.

A Dover man, identified as Dwayne A. Wise, has been arrested on three charges of rape.
Delaware State Police have arrested a Dover man after he allegedly raped a local woman Dwayne A. Wise, 58, was taken into custody Nov. 27, according to documents released by Justice of the Peace Court 7, Dover. Wise, of the 400 block of Phoenix Drive, Kentwood Mobile Home Park, was charged with three counts of second-degree rape, and single counts of unlawful imprisonment and terroristic threatening. The charges stem from alleged sexual assaults on Nov. 12 and Nov. 14, which included death threats against the victim. Wise was arraigned in JP Court 2, then released on $77,000 unsecured bail, pending a Dec. 6 court date.

Penguins scoring at prolific playoff rateby Chris Adamski
PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Penguins are scoring at a rate not seen during the Stanley Cup Playoffs since Wayne Gretzky was active.
Not that the Penguins know that. Nor care.
"I don't even know or look at the number of goals we're scoring," coach Dan Bylsma said Thursday afternoon, the day after a 7-3 victory against the Ottawa Senators in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series.
"I don't even look at the scoreboard at the end of a game. … The scoreboard or the game sheet, all it said is that we won the game and we've got three wins. Now we need the fourth one."
Up 3-1 in the best-of-7 series, Pittsburgh is looking to close out Ottawa in Game 5 Friday at Consol Energy Center (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, CBC, RDS).
The Penguins are averaging 4.1 goals per game through 10 games this postseason -- no team over the past 15 years has done that during a playoff run that lasted at least two rounds. Once since 1997-98 has a team topped 4.1 goals per game in the Stanley Cup Playoffs regardless of how many rounds they played.
That was Pittsburgh, last season. The fact that those 4.3 goals-per-game Penguins were eliminated by the Philadelphia Flyers in six games in the first round probably tells you all you need to know about why the Penguins are so unconcerned about their offensive production.
"It's been brought up how many we're scoring, but we won the game -- we won game three (of the four needed to win a series), and that is really it," Bylsma said. "Whether it's two goals needed to win or three, we're not trying to score. We're not going into a game looking to produce four goals, and if we do we win the hockey game. That's not really the focus at all. … We're not looking to sustain [that production] to win hockey games, or we need that number or whatever. It's not what we're looking to do."
The Penguins, simply, are looking to win hockey games. It's just that, with a star-studded roster bursting at the seams with skill and offensive talent, they most often do it by posting impressive goal totals.
Pittsburgh has scored at least four goals in eight of its 10 playoff games; once did it score fewer than three.
The Penguins' explosiveness was on display in Game 4 against the Senators when Pittsburgh broke open a one-goal game by scoring four times over a span of 7:54 during the first half of the third period.
"I think that's our kind of mindset: We want to keep putting pucks behind them and wear them down as much as possible," said wing James Neal, who had two goals in Game 4. "If we stay with that, eventually we'll get our chances, and I think you saw that [Wednesday] night."
Part of what makes the Penguins so dangerous is a power play that is clicking at a League-best 28.6 percent in the postseason. Part is a relentless forecheck that has allowed them to average 40 shots on goal per game in the series.
But much of it is the fact their roster is dotted with world-class players Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jarome Iginla, Kris Letang and Neal.
"We talk about playing a certain way and having structure to our game and it gives you the opportunity," Bylsma said. "[But] you and I could have that opportunity, and it's probably not going to look anything like James Neal doing it."
Bylsma pointed to Neal's first goal Wednesday and to a goal by Crosby that made it 6-2 as examples of instant offense that are attributable to the talent level of those players that no amount of mere effort, execution or strategy can produce.
"You can look to the Crosby goal … the play and the rush and design and habit and structure of what we want to do was there," Bylsma said. "Beau Bennett goes through the middle-lane drive and Sid cuts behind. But that's something few guys can pull off and make it look it like Sidney did. And the same thing with James Neal's goal."
Still, despite the advantage in offensive skill and in the series score, the Penguins insist the Senators aren't buried yet.
When they held a 3-1 series lead on Ottawa with Game 5 in Pittsburgh in 2010, the Senators won to force Game 6.
"The fourth win in the series is always the hardest to get because the other team's back is against the wall, they're the most desperate and emotionally charged. … We respect the fact they're going to be better [Friday] night."
-- Penguins forward Matt Cooke
"That team has no quit," wing Matt Cooke said.
"The fourth win in the series is always the hardest to get because the other team's back is against the wall, they're the most desperate and emotionally charged. … We respect the fact they're going to be better [Friday] night."
But are the Senators going to be better enough that they'll score four goals? Despite Bylsma's insistence that the number of goals the Penguins get doesn't matter as far as winning, his team is 0-2 this postseason when scoring fewer than four times.
When Pittsburgh scores at least four goals, it is 7-1.
Perhaps the Penguins' offensive mentality was best explained by Cooke. When Neal scored on the power play 1:59 into the third period Wednesday to make it 4-2, many teams would have gone into a defensive shell to protect the two-goal lead by suffocating the opposition.
Not the Penguins. Instead of going into lockdown mode, they went out and piled on to put the game out of reach.
"We get the power-play goal to make it 4-2, and instead of just sitting back and watching them make a push, we pushed even harder," Cooke said. "It wasn't that they just rolled over -- that wasn't the case; they were still coming at us. … I wouldn't take anything away from what they did -- it was just maybe the focus and the way we approached it up 4-2."

the last official function that yr of our commonwealth school.
Some kids said good-bye to the school that day...
My apologies that I am posting this a few hours late. My husband emailed an application on Wednesday, and was hired on Thursday. This meant that today, he is leaving for twenty days, back ten days (on a regular basis). My family is used to him being self-employed and around ALL the time. I've been busy trying to prepare the little ones for the adjustment, but there were still tears from my oldest boy when he figured it out yesterday. Some of my girls are glad though, because they know he'll be better able to provide. So you might say feelings are mixed.
That got me thinking about other good-byes. Sometimes we're quite glad to say good-bye to something - a stinker boss, school when we graduate, and when we leave home to go on vacation. Sometimes good-byes are sad - death, a loved one leaving home for the military, or even moving from a place you loved.
Our ancestors weren't much different - Dad's left families behind to provide for them. Parents watched children leave to immigrate in another country. Pioneers buried many loved ones along the Oregon trail. And sometimes it was exciting and they were happy, and other times it wasn't.
Good-bye. We say it so often. Let's focus on one and write about it. =)

The cold's come back
I had decided a few months ago that I wouldn't be planting any new flowers in my flowerbed at the Brüsseler Platz until it was really and fully Spring. My German fellow gardeners scoffed at my timidity and went full-steam ahead with their plantings. Following more than a week of bright, warm weather - this week it snowed.
HH and I went to the playground today in the Brüsseler Platz and after tossing the odd dog dropping from the beds we set about working our way around the square from one side, where one finds the Hallmackenreuther Café, to the opposite side and the Café Chinoiserrie. These two bar/cafes are both memorable and to have one on each side of this space is a blessing.
Some days I feel like sipping the slow buzz at Hallmackenreuther - slim smokers with laptops and things to do, and some days I find myself in a Chinoiserrie state of mind, more contemplative, herbal tea in a warm cozy corner.
Today it was neither of these as HH wanted to be outside, to rock and rock and rock he did for a long, long, longer time than I could hold on. The playground vehicle he mounted himself on resembled a huge seesaw resting on railroad-strength steel springs. He announced that this playground contraption was the Continental Airlines direct flight from Cologne to New York and so we got on board and HH, as pilot, began what might have been a realistic 8-hour recreation of the actual transatlantic flight, had I not finally lifted him from his ersatz cockpit and carried him home for dinner.
The cold had reached deep down inside me, found every single slip of an opening in my coat and snuggled it's damp, chilled nearly solid air up next to my very bones. If I don't have pneumonia tomorrow morning it will be a minor miracle. HH on the other hand was all decked out in his snow suit and except for his hands, which were as cold as the ice-cold metal grips on his playground aircraft, he was as warm as toast. Why is it that we dress our children so much more sensibly than we do ourselves?
During the course of our flight to New York a number of my fellow gardeners passed by and we chatted about mulch and late snows and what a chicken I was not to plant anyway.
Sitting in the playground on the Brüsseler Platz on a Saturday afternoon in Cologne is just about the best way I know to get in touch with my neighborhood. Recently I was speaking with a friend about schools and had some questions. She told me in a very matter-of-fact tone, that I needed to spend more time on the playground. I'm sure someone has written a thesis paper on the subject but it was and is still remarkable to me the amount of work and communication and networking that takes place on the playground while our children are burning calories at a mercifully rapid rate.
Today was satisfying on many levels. I got a chance to chat briefly with some of my neighbors and in the process allow myself to feel almost at home here and HH got the chance to play as loudly and long as he wanted. There is something about being out of the house, even with cell phones, that changes the nature of play, whether it's between adults or children, or in our case, between a very little boy and a not so young father. Today in the dingy cold of a winter afternoon, HH and I had a handful of minutes together that were priceless. It was worth the cold and more.

In today's world of cruise ship travel, it is easy to forget how life-changing boarding a steamer once was.
When young Sonia Pressman Fuentes stepped aboard the Westernland II ship in Antwerp with her family on April 20, 1934, it was the biggest leap she would ever take. "It made it possible for me to be alive - very simple answer. Otherwise we would have been killed," the Jewish feminist leader said, recalling her family's flight from the Nazis.
"We would have been killed in Germany had we remained there. We would have been killed in Belgium had we remained there. And we would have been killed in Poland if we had been deported there," she continued. "The Red Star Line saved all our lives."
Pressman Fuentes was back at the original docks of this huge North Sea port for the ceremonial opening of the Red Star Line migration museum, which shows how millions of Europeans steamed across the ocean over the past two centuries.
It charts the migrations of everyone who travelled on the shipping line, from composer Irving Berlin to scientist Albert Einstein to Israeli politician Golda Meir. It is the story of countless people escaping poverty, seeking adventure, avoiding persecution or dodging certain death. "What we are trying to achieve with the museum is to bring back all the stories of lives that were changed here," said museum project co-ordinator Luc Verheyen.
More than two million passengers sailed from Europe to the United States between 1873 and 1934 on the Red Star Line. Antwerp was popular because it already was a massive port and it had a well-established Jewish community. In 1893, a 5-year-old Israel Isidore Baline was among the émigrés, part of a family fleeing increasing anti-Semitic violence in Russia. Baline became Irving Berlin after the family entered the United States and settled in New York's Lower East Side. His classics like God Bless America and White Christmas made him famous in his new country and around the world.
Now, one of Berlin's pianos stands in the museum, on extended loan from the family. His daughter and two granddaughters were on hand for the opening.
"Coming to this museum is like completing a circle. To think my father left from this building, and here we are in it!" his daughter Linda Emmet said.
"It wasn't an easy voyage," she added. "The man in the upper bunk dropped his penknife onto my father's forehead. It left a scar for the rest of his life."
No lasting damage was done to Berlin. A few decades later, his fame became such that the Red Star Line's SS Belgenland was playing a Berlin foxtrot for its first-and second-class passengers.
Nobel Prize winner Einstein was another famous passenger. When he was on the Belgenland II in 1933, he learned that the Nazis had confiscated his possessions so he decided not return to Berlin. He used Red Star Line stationery to declare his resignation from the Prussian Academy for the Sciences.
Red Star Line Museum: Montevideostraat 3, Antwerp, Belgium, http://www.redstarline.be/en. Tuesday-Friday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Saturday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Adults, 8 euros ($11.30); ages 12-26, 1 euro; age 65 and over, 6 euros, free for children under 12.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. - UCSB shot a 1-over par 865 to finish fourth at the Bill Cullum Invitational at Wood Ranch Golf Course in Simi Valley, Calif. The Gauchos were led by Tyler Weir who tied for seventh with a 3-under par 213, and while it was the team's second straight top-five finish, head coach Steve Lass was not completely pleased.
"This is one of the most talented teams I've had in years," said Lass. "But it has a long way to go to play at the level that it is capable of.
"Today, we had a poor finish and a poor finish, and while fourth-place is a decent finish, it is not as good as we could be," he said. The Big West Conference is very good this year and we need to get better and I know we can."
Lass was pleased with two things: the seventh-place finish by Weir and the solid performance of freshman Glen Scher.
"Tyler (Weir) had a good tournament and a seventh-place finish proves that," Lass said. "Also our freshman - Glen Scher - looked very good, particularly today when he shot a 69."
Scher's 3-under 69 gave him a 1-over par 217, allowing him to tie for 22nd, along with teammate Andrew Gunson.
Rounding out the Gaucho finishers were Russell Boring, who finished at 6-over par 222 while tying for 35th, and Brian Hollenbeck, who shot a 9-over par 225 and tied for 50th.
Pacific won the team championship with a tournament record score of 21-under par 843. The Tigers posted team rounds of 279-281-283 to best Saint Mary's previous team record 845 set in 2004. UC Riverside's blistering final round (-13) 275 vaulted the Highlanders into second place ahead of the host Cal State Northridge which finished at 863.
Pacific's Alex Johnson shot a 9-under par 207 to win individual honors, one shot ahead of Northridge's Nick Delio and Riverside's Kevin Fitzgerald who each shot 8-under par 208.
UCSB will play its final fall tournament on Nov. 9-10 when it travels to Pebble Beach, Calif., to compete in the Saint Mary's College Invitational.
Men's and women's basketball season tickets are now available, giving fans an opportunity to catch the Gauchos all season long.
Season tickets are only $125 for men's basketball and $100 for women's basketball (35% lower than last year). Similar to the successful men's soccer family plan, a new Family Plan season ticket is now available for both men's and women's basketball. Family plans, which include five season tickets (two adults and three youth season tickets), are $300 for men's basketball, $225 for women's basketball or get the combo plan (both men's and women's) for just $400. That's just $2.66 per game! UCSB faculty/staff will also receive 50% off pricing on all season tickets.
And, purchase tickets before Nov. 1 to receive a complimentary Olé bobblehead doll! Click here to learn more about season ticket packages or to buy today!
UCSB Athletics is proud to introduce GKids - its new official kids club! GKids members will receive a free GKids t-shirt, free admittance to tons of Gaucho games, opportunities to be ball boys and girls at games, a special birthday greeting from Olie (the new GKids mascot) and much, much more!
