You can delete an object in Oracle Workflow Builder even if the object is referenced by other objects, assuming the object is not protected against customizations. If the object you want to delete is referenced by other objects, a Workflow Error dialog box appears, warning you about the foreign key references that will break. You can proceed to delete the object anyway or cancel the action. If you choose to delete, then when you save or verify the workflow process definition, a Workflow Error dialog box appears, reporting all broken foreign key references that exist in the definition.
As a result of this behavior, you can load workflow definitions with invalid foreign keys into Oracle Workflow Builder to correct. Oracle Workflow Builder preserves the original internal name reference for any missing foreign key, and displays it in a validation error message when you load the process definition. You can restore a broken foreign key reference in a process definition by recreating the deleted object with its original internal name under its original item type.
Note: You can also delete an entire item type definition in Oracle Workflow Builder.

Mushroom poisoning is a serious problem in California, highlighted by five deaths since November 2011 and the recent case of a Santa Cruz woman who was hospitalized last week after eating death cap mushrooms.
Death caps are one of several varieties of mushroom in California that contain amatoxins and cause yearly poisonings that sometimes lead to death. Experts are seeking ways to prevent and treat amatoxin poisoning.
Dr. Todd Mitchell, who works out of Dominican Hospital in Santa Cruz, said a woman was hospitalized Sunday and released Thursday after receiving treatment under a clinical trial of a European antidote.
Mitchell, who sometimes works out of Mad River Community Hospital in Arcata, is the principal investigator of the nationwide clinical trial, which aims to secure Food and Drug Administration approval of silibinin, a derivative of the common milk thistle.
The trial is the first prospective trial to focus on amatoxin poisoning — the leading cause of mushroom poisoning death. Other toxic compounds in mushrooms rarely lead to death, Mitchell said.
"We've been underway for about three and a half years," Mitchell said, adding that they've treated around 60 patients. "We've developed a whole protocol for managing these patients."
In addition to saving lives with silibinin, Mitchell said the trial has taught researchers about how the body reacts to amatoxin — and that timing and patient management is crucial.
Symptoms, including severe diarrhea and vomiting, can show up in a patient as soon as six hours after ingesting amatoxin mushrooms. Severe dehydration results, which will eventually lead to kidney failure if a patient isn't given ample hydration.
Mitchell said the deaths that have occurred during the trial have resulted because a patient was admitted to a hospital too late or didn't receive aggressive enough hydration.
"This is actually one of the most important things we've learned in this clinical trial," he said, adding that he is working on hydration protocols for developing countries in Southeast Asia that don't have access to the antidote.
Mitchell said they would be giving data to the FDA this year and anticipated approval.
He arranged for the first treatment of American patients with silibinin six years ago when a family of six ate tacos containing death cap mushrooms picked at Wilder Ranch State Park in Santa Cruz. Five of the six survived after Mitchell obtained the drug from Germany, along with an emergency FDA waiver for the treatment.
Last week's patient was another example of successful treatment.
"She had eaten six death cap mushrooms," Mitchell said. "One is enough to kill an adult."
Mitchell said they measure success based on whether the patient recovers, survives by liver transplant, or dies.
"There's not a lot of in-between," he said.
Death caps are the most common poisonous mushroom that result in deaths in California. Poisonings are particularly common among foreign immigrants who mistake them for edible varieties in their home countries.
"The Bay Area has sort of traditionally, over the last 30 years or so, been an epicenter of poisonings," Mitchell said.
Death cap mushrooms are found across the West Coast as far east as the Sierra Nevada Foothills. Mitchell said research indicates the mushroom was inadvertently imported to the West Coast from Europe on imported tree roots in the 20th century.
Mitchell said there haven't been any recent amatoxin poisonings in Humboldt County.
"But the mushrooms are certainly there," he said.
California Poison Control Center Executive Director Stuart Heard said awareness and education are key to preventing poisonings.
"The real message is one of warning that has to be repeated and repeated," he said.
Dr. Kent Olson, medical director of the San Francisco division of the California Poison Control System, said people typically associate mushroom poisoning incidents with foraging out in the wild, but recent poisoning cases have come from mushrooms found in backyards.
"We want people to recognize these can grow anywhere," he said.
Mitchell said some people who ate amatoxin mushrooms reported that they taste good, prompting some to eat more before symptoms develop.
"Famous last words for many: 'They are the most delicious mushrooms I've ever eaten,'" Mitchell said.
Cooking does not get rid of the toxin, Olson said.
"Don't eat wild mushrooms unless you know exactly what they are," Olson said, adding that he's spoken with professors and graduate students who were unable to differentiate between poisonous mushrooms and their benign relatives.
"That doesn't mean using a guidebook," he said. "It means really knowing what you're doing."
Info box:
According to a California Poison Control System, more than 1,600 cases of mushroom ingestion — amatoxin and otherwise — were reported statewide from January 2011 through November 2012.
Five people died, including four people who fell ill in November after eating a soup made with poisonous mushrooms at senior care facility in Loomis, according to the Associated Press.

The movie may be called "Divergent," but for the cast members of the upcoming young-adult action-romance, all roads lead to "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
As the promotional beat grows louder ahead of the film's Friday opening, a different "Divergent" cast member will appear on Kimmel's couch each of the next four evenings, beginning with Jai Courtney on Monday and continuing with Ashley Judd, Zoe Kravitz and Tony Goldwyn in each of the next three nights. ("Jimmy Kimmel Live" does not air new episodes on Fridays.)
For those wondering about the absence of the movie's two lead actors, Shailene Woodley and Theo James, they appeared on the show a month ago, ziplining in (!) and unveiling a new trailer.
Though it's not unusual for a movie's stars to hit the talk show circuit — indeed, the "Divergent" cast members are in the middle of a veritable blitz — it is a unusual to have so many people from one movie on the same show on consecutive nights. (A spokesperson for "Jimmy Kimmel Live" did not immediately provide comment on the reasons behind or mechanics of the bookings.)

The publicity barrage underscores the high stakes of "Divergent" for studio Lionsgate, which is releasing the film under its Summit Entertainment banner. In recent years, Summit parlayed Stephenie Meyers' YA book series "Twilight" into massive success, and Lionsgate has done the same with the first two "Hunger Games" movies (based on the books by Suzanne Collins), with two more installments to come, demonstrating executives' ability to reach elusive young-adult audiences.
Still, Veronica Roth's three "Divergent" books, which tell the story of a dystopian future in which people are divided into factions based on their personality types, haven't quite had the same cultural traction thus far as the "Twilight" and "Hunger Games" franchises. Meanwhile moviegoers' appetites for new YA adaptations may be waning, as recent films such as Sony's "The Mortal Instruments," Warner Bros.' "Beautiful Creatures" and Summit's "Ender's Game" all failed to connect with mainstream audiences.
Hoping to, well, diverge from that trend, Lionsgate already has two "Divergent" sequels slated, for March 2015 and 2016.

Working Brand Name
Tandem Nutrition Systems (also known as "Tandem")
Working Tag Line
Mother Baby Nutrition
We are targeting the 16,000 women in the United States that become pregnant each day (most of whom are busy, working, or on-the-go) and provide support to them through to their post-breastfeeding period. Our logo should be stylish and elegant (not cartoonish) and want to evoke a feeling of quality and peace of mind for expectant mothers who are looking for healthy, nutritional products for themselves and their babies.
Companies that offer similar product offerings can be found at:
I'm looking for a logo to represent our company and is a combination of both an icon and company name ("Tandem"), as well as includes our Tag Line: "Mother Baby Nutrition". A good icon example can be found on the web site for http://www.nutrabella.com.
I'd like to use colors that are fresh and healthy (no primary colors like Red).
The logo should be gender-neutral and can incorporate illustrations of heart shapes or animals like bunnies or teddy bears. Due to our theme of 2's (the company name Tandem, choosing 2 products to consumer per day), I'd like the logo/illustration to play on this element -- If you use icons, shapes, or animals consider one larger than the other (signifying mother and baby). You can see an example of this on the products at: http://www.calm-your-screaming-baby…colic.html
Feel free to experiment with the icon and colors in the logo, but I do not want the logo to look cartoonish. It should be simple, clean, and bold enough to stand out and represent a healthy, fresh, and trusted option for pregnant women.
This logo (icon and company name) will go on product packaging, business cards, marketing collateral, web site, letterhead, apparel, etc so will need to be designed to fit accordingly.
The files we will require are:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two U.S. lawmakers on Monday rejected the National Football League's claim that the Washington Redskins name was an honor to Native Americans and urged the sports league to recognize it as a racial slur and back changing the name.
In a letter to the National Football League, U.S. Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from Washington state, and Republican U.S. Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma criticized the league for defending the name.
"The terminology used by the Washington football team has been determined to be a slur," the lawmakers said.
"It is, in fact, an insult to Native Americans. We are calling on you and the National Football League to take a formal position in support of a name change," they wrote in the letter, first reported by The New York Times.
A representative for the Redskins, in an email to Reuters, dismissed the lawmakers' request. The NFL had no immediate reaction.
The letter follows recent comments by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in support of the Redskins' moniker, which team owner Dan Snyder has vowed not to change.
"Let me remind you this is the name of a football team, a football team that has had that name for 80 years and has presented the name in a way that has honored Native Americans," Goodell said at a January 31 news conference. He said the league respected those who disagreed but cited polling figures showing support for the Redskins name.
On Monday, the lawmakers shot back.
"For you to pretend that the name is defensible based on decade-old public opinion polling flies in the face of our constitutionally protected government-to-government relationship with tribes," wrote Cantwell, who heads the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs, and Cole, a member of the Chickasaw Nation and one of two Native American congressmen, according to his office.
Both Oklahoma and Washington state are home to dozens of federally recognized Native American tribes.
Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie, in an email to Reuters, chided the lawmakers for focusing on the team's name given other pressing national issues.
"With all the important issues Congress has to deal with such as a war in Afghanistan to deficits to health care, don't they have more important issues to worry about than a football team's name? And given the fact that the name of Oklahoma means 'Red People' in Choctaw, this request is a little ironic," said Wyllie.
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello told Reuters that the league received the letter and would later respond "in an appropriate manner."

Dual boot with Windows
Template:I18n links start Template:I18n entry Template:I18n entry Template:I18n links end This is a simple article detailing different methods of Arch/Windows coexistence.
Windows and Arch Dual Booting
In this example, we will install Windows first, and subsequently install the GRUB bootloader along with Arch, allowing for dual boot.
Installation will be standard, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
1. You may have to use logical partitions for some of our partitions, because there can only be up to 4 primary partitions per disk.
2. Remember to write down your partitions numbers: "sda1, sda2... sda8", noting which type of partitions belong to their relevant number. For example:
- sda1
- Windows - 30GB should be enough. Many new games exceed 10GB each so bear this in mind.
- sda2
- /boot - 100MB is enough (optional)
- sda3
- / - about 10GB is appropriate
- sda4
- swap - between 1024MB and 1512MB (optional)
- sda5
- /home - use rest of hard drive (optional)
It is important to note that there is a 1024 cylinder limit with some older BIOSs. This means that the BIOS cannot access things beyond the 1024th cylinder (about 8.5GB), so the /boot partition should be in the first 8.5GB (space before Windows partition). GParted LiveCD or a partitioning tool in SystemRescueCd are useful for moving and resizing partitions to accommodate this.
3. When installing grub, you must configure /boot/grub/menu.lst), and make sure to install grub to /boot (or root (/) if you did not create a separate partition for /boot). There should be about three lines at the end of the file that speak about chainloading to boot other OSs, these can most generally be uncommented if you follow above convention, this would place windows boot point at hd0,0 or sda1. Thus you would have something akin to this:
# Windows XP title Windows XP rootnoverify (hd0,0) chainloader +1
The parts of this entry break down as follows:
- title Windows XP
- Can be anything you like, it will just be what is displayed in the grub bootup screen
- rootnoverify (hd0,0)
- Remember the partition numbers we wrote down, here you write in the partition number of your windows partition. This sets the windows boot at root, even though GRUB cannot read it.
- chainloader +1
- What this does is call the Windows boot loader that is still in MBR in our case, since GRUB cannot boot Windows itself.
- The file is read from the top down, so the system listed first will be the one to auto boot, if no keys are pressed during the grub boot screen.
- GRUB uses a zero indexed system of numbering drives and partitions, which is a different convention than you may be used to seeing:
First disk, first partition=sda1=hd0,0 First disk, second partition=sda2=hd0,1 Second disk, first partition=sdb1=hd1,0
Dual Booting from Multiple Hard Drives
To dual boot from two separate hard drives (e.g., one dedicated Linux drive and one dedicated Windows drive) and Windows is not on the first hard drive, the Windows boot loader must be "tricked" into thinking Windows is on the first hard drive. Do this by adding the following lines to your menu.lst config file:
map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0)
So the entry for Windows on second disk, first partition will look like this:
title Microsoft Windows XP Professional root (hd1,0) savedefault makeactive map (hd0) (hd1) map (hd1) (hd0) chainloader +1
More information on GRUB configuration can be found in the GRUB manual.
Other Layouts
1. You could use:
- sda1
- Windows XP
- sda2
- swap
- sda3
- root
- sda4
- home
and not use an extended partition (as /boot will be in the / partition as well).
2. LVM (Linux Volume Management) is also a possibility to use. You could simply create a single LVM partition and let it create the other partitions inside it. This allows a single partition to hold all your needed GNU/Linux data, and allows to easily partitions when necessary.
Notes on /home
You may not wish to store you documents on this mountpoint, especially if you wish to share data between both Windows and Arch Linux. Historically, this was done on a FAT partition because writing to NTFS was still experimental. NTFS-3G now offers stable writing to NTFS partitions, so you can just leave this as another partition that will be shared by both Windows and arch. Another option would be to use some of the tools in Windows, such as fs-driver and use an ext3 or ext2 partition to store documents (fs-driver will mount ext3 partitions as ext2, so you will not be able to take advantage of journaling while in Windows).
Using Windows boot-loader
Another option is sort of the reverse of what is described at the beginning of this article where GRUB loads the Windows boot loader, which then loads Windows. Under this option, the Windows boot loader load GRUB, which then loads arch. For information on this method see http://www.geocities.com/epark/linux/grub-w2k-HOWTO.html. I do not believe there are any distinct advantages of this method over the previous one, you will still need a /boot partition, and this one is arguably more difficult to setup.

ADDISON COUNTY — The nationwide slowdown in real estate sales has hit Addison County, according to local Multiple Listing Service statistics and real estate professionals, but its impact has not been as deeply felt as in some other areas.
Still, it appears that in most segments of the market the advantage enjoyed by sellers in recent years is slipping away.
"I think we're going to continue to see things taper off," said Tom Walsh, owner of Coldwell Banker Bill Beck Real Estate. "We're going to see things becoming a little more balanced."
Vergennes real estate appraiser William Benton, also Middlebury's town assessor, has a similar take. He sees the market remaining strong for homes that sell for less than $200,000, often to first-time buyers, but he expects values in other property categories to level off or even decline somewhat.
By JOHN FLOWERS
MIDDLEBURY — A group of Middlebury-area parents and youths is vowing to deliver on what a longstanding dream to establish a teen center in Addison County's shire town.
More than 20 members of the recently-formed Addison County Teens and Friends Committee turned out at Tuesday's selectboard meeting to describe their efforts to locate, fund and devise programming for a Middlebury-area youth center. They also served notice to selectmen that they would be back to ask for the board's support — and perhaps some funding — to get the center up and running.
"There's really a strong momentum to this group," Friends committee member Dan Beaupre told selectmen. "We think there is enough energy and the time is right to bring this (idea) forward."

Paratriathletes Look to Set New Standards in Busselton
Three para-triathletes are out to realize their dreams at IRONMAN Western Australia.
The IRONMAN mantra that anything is possible sounds trite when it comes to the hopes and dreams of a trio of para-triathletes lining up in the SunSmart IRONMAN Western Australia. South African Pieter du Preez hopes to become the first quadriplegic to finish an IRONMAN, Melbourne's Rob Paterson is wheelchair-bound and Western Australia's Brant Garvey is a below-the-knee amputee—all three are competing at Busselton this weekend.
Ten years ago du Preez, then a promising triathlete, was hit by a vehicle while riding his bike, which left him as a C6 quadriplegic, virtually paralysed from his chest down. He is limited to shoulder, bicep and some wrist movement and is unable to sweat, which results in his body overheating. But using his faith and sport, du Preez developed into a world class hand-cycle athlete, competing in the London Paralympics last year.
His preparations for Busselton have not been without ill-fortune, though. He broke his forearm last month, which required surgery to have a plate with screws inserted.
"A cyclist did a U-turn in front of me without looking. I am still going to give it a go, although the odds are now against me to make those cut offs, but I believe I can," says du Preez. "It means I will probably have to push with one arm in the marathon. I am a professional athlete so obviously I won't do the time I would have liked now, but I want to be the first quadriplegic in the world to do this. For me first prize would be to make that bike cut off, which is where a C6 falls behind able bodies the most."
Garvey wants to become the first below-the-knee amputee to finish an IRONMAN on Australian soil. He is a congenital amputee who has not let his disability hold him back. His personal motto is "noXcuses," which is now his movement, challenging others to "get off the couch."
His achievements are remarkable – a five-time team finisher of the 20km Rottnest Channel Swim, winning five Australian Wheelchair Basketball titles and a professional contract in Europe. Earlier this year he competed in the CrossFit Open against 20,000 able bodied Australians.
That led him to triathlon, where he competed at the ITU World Triathlon Championships in London this year and he has set his sights on the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro. Now he faces arguably his biggest challenge at the 10th SunSmart IRONMAN Western Australia.
"I'm truly excited about the possibility of becoming the first below the knee amputee. It's not easy to be a pioneer in something these days and this will also be the biggest challenge mentally and physically I have ever taken on," says Garvey.
On race day he'll face the usual challenges all competitors face, with a few extra ones thrown in for good measure.
"There are a couple of factors that could affect me, mechanical problems on either my bike leg or running leg. If either of these fails, it could be game over."
Paterson became a paraplegic after being hit by a semi-trailer when on his bike training for a triathlon more than 20 years ago.
He was in hospital for six months, but he returned to sport where he had been a noted rugby league player and a black belt in karate. Paterson became an accomplished para-athlete and continued in the gym business and in nutrition, areas in which he is well qualified, rising to the Chair of Nutrition Australia. He also continued coaching football at Melbourne University and has not let anything stand in his way.
"One of the things that I learned from my accident was that the skills learned in rugby league set me up to handle things more easily. I had to set goals before with my training so that was helpful. In sport you develop a heap of skills including psychological and intellectual skills."
The idea to take on an IRONMAN was made over a coffee.
"I was having a coffee with long time mate and triathlete Paul O'Brien and came up with this crazy notion of doing Busselton. My brother and his family live in Busso, and I spoke with John Maclean once, who said how much he had enjoyed the race."
The one thing Paterson learned was to never give up. "It's not in my nature," he says.
That is a mantra that both du Preez and Garvey also share.

Look I get that she is a young girl trying to find herself after being Hanna Montana, but really? This isn't even done with class... and it's been done before and better. I am not saying that she isn't a talented artist, she is. But what does this have to do with the artistry of music? It's pretty shameless if you ask me and really who am I to judge. She is young and stupid and weather she is being lead this way or going down this road on her own, i just feel sad for her. As a punk rock kids in my teens, I dressed crazy and did things that where controversial back then by today standards would be nothing, just silly.
People dress like this and act this way because they want the attention, we are giving her what she wants so what ever she's doing , it's working. After all i am posting this little personal commentary after all..

Swimwear Trends For Men
30 Must-Have Swimwear Options To Keep You Stylin' All Summer
Fellas, get ready because beach season is just around the corner. At times, we understand that summer can be a real sun-of-a-beach – its tortuous heat waves and unbearable humidity are nothing to laugh at. But who are we fooling? We can't deny those oh-so-sunny weekends reserved for lying by the pool or frolicking on the sand. That's why we're here to inform you about warm weather must-haves but also to make sure we've got you covered in the best swimwear for you.
To give you more insight into the world of men's swimwear, we've enlisted swimwear entrepreneur Kyle King and Tavik's Senior Men's Designer, Jordan Raths. King's seven-year career designing men's swim attire — not to mention the recent success of his eponymous swimsuit line – make him our go-to expert, while Raths 8+ years of designer experience in the biz surely make him an expert worthy of contributing to the conversation. Whether your goal is to replace an outdated swimsuit or you're curious about trying new a style, both swimwear pros believe today's choices are better than ever.
"There's so many options to choose from, which is such a shift," he says. "I still hear guys say they can't find the right swimsuit. But that really stems from not having access to all of the options out there.There are plenty of options, but you'll have to shop online."
And he's right: The internet is a shopper's mecca. Not only is it teeming with affordable – and body-positive – swimwear brands like Chubbies, but it's also home to higher-priced lines for those with luxurious tastes. "Higher-priced swimwear is usually more expensive because the fabrics are of a much finer quality. And more attention is paid to details, like fit and sewing quality. It's very similar to buying a suit: If you want a top-notch suit that fits like a glove…you're going to shop at a luxury suit retailer."
Swimwear Trends To Follow
Knee-Deep, On Fleek
Understanding proportions and body types is the key to pulling off any swimsuit. Let's begin with the surf-inspired board short: a popular cut defined by its knee-length inseam. This particular style is flattering for taller men, especially when it falls just above the knees. Let's just say it prevents a lengthy limb from appearing too long. However, anyone vertically-challenged should opt for shorter styles. "Knee-length swim shorts don't look so good on short guys [nor anyone overweight]," Kyle says. "Shorter lengths are better if you're short. And if you're overweight, then shorter trunks are better, as well as solid colors and vertical stripes." Also, remember: Longer doesn't mean baggier. There's nothing worse than appearing to be drowning in a board short. A snug waist along with a tailored leg always works wonders.
Functional Vintage
Retro is always in fashion. Ideal for guys who favor long-length swimwear, "this style tends to look best in 18" – 20" outseams (or falling just at the knee)," says Raths. "Vintage styling and functional details allow you to still find a silhouette that you're comfortable with in updated materials that feature various degrees of stretch, breathability, along with finishing techniques that capture the essence of a classic boardshort paired with modern details." Consider it a must for surfers and swimmers who desire a secure waistband.
Thigh-High, So Fly
Up next, we highlight the swim trunk: a style defined by its square-cut design and mid-length inseam. According to Kyle, this style has dominated the men's swimwear market for over a decade. The swim trunk's popularity lies in its ability to flatter most body types. For instance, shorter guys gain the most advantage from this style. Let's just say an exposed thigh creates the illusion of added height. Also, heavier guys reap the rewards of a tailored cut in shorter lengths. But remember: Avoid constricting waistbands, which tend to pinch softer stomachs. You'll want to make sure you choose the perfect fit — not too tight nor too loose.
Printed Pool Vibes
Prints were designed to draw attention. Raths believes this style of pool short can make a huge statement for the summer: "Fun and loud prints do have their time and place, and that's poolside." Men should search out printed styles that can be worn "above the knee or at a slightly shorter length with an elastic waistband short versus an all-out performance boardshort." He also recommends a more tonal and subdue print with water-activated prints that show when in contact with water.
Keepin' It Brief
Defined by its skin-tight fit and barely-there design, the swim brief (in all of its glory) leaves little to the imagination. Unfortunately, many guys think they need to have an incredible physique to actually wear a pair. But, contrary to popular opinion, it's time to wake up and smell a Speedo. "Honestly, I think any guy can pull of the brief-cut swimsuit," Kyle says. "Of course, it's going to look more flattering the more in shape you are, but don't all swim trunks? We really have to get over this notion that if you're not in crazy good shape, you can only wear really baggy shorts. Look to the '40s, '50s and '60s: You'll see all body types wearing swim briefs. And it's really about the attitude [you have] while wearing them."
Environmentally Aware
Not every man cares to have his trunks made from premium fabrics such as high-density polyamide. Those who actually find more value in saving the planet can do their part by sporting some cool eco-friendly swimwear. More swimwear brands are creating swim trunks out of recycled and sustainable materials. "Advancements in technology and a heightened sense of sustainability have resulted in an array of new material options that not only look good on, but are also environmentally friendly," states Raths. Numerous styles from "just-above-the-knee board shorts to barely-there swim briefs" are becoming easily accessible online and super-affordable.
Whether you are a brief or trunk kind of guy, technology is presenting designers and brands with possibilities to produce excellent swimsuits at more affordable costs. From just-above-the-knee board shorts to barely-there swim briefs, we break down the most popular swimwear styles that will create the biggest splash on the beach.

…or should I say post modern?
We are still pinching ourselves as we wander through and around our newly precycled concrete patio. In doing a little research on the Web, I discovered that reusing concrete for patios, walkways, and even driveways is not all that uncommon. To be sure, the material requirements for a driveway are substantially different from a patio or a path. Better to leave that to the experts.
One web site rated a recycled patio project as "moderately easy" in terms of execution. Of course that assumes one knows something about design, layout, and heavy materials handling, not to mention installation. And…there is the small matter of having the right tools, experience, and physical strength.
A frequent question is what to put in the spaces between the new precycled concrete pavers. In our case we opted for wide spaces between each paver so as to permit the use of cobbles in certain places. The top fill was mulch (to color coordinate with the rest of the area) although we could have opted for decorative pebbles.
My wife sought the advice of the Internationale Instituto De Vino Wino (Petaluma's famous but fictional Wine Institute) as to whether or not a little color was needed in one of the few straight lines in the new patio. The Instituto agreed that a little splashy color was in order and suggested marbles.
Unfortunately, the staff and officers of the Instituto had lost their marbles long ago, so we came up with a few of our own…

Race: decrypted Men
Faction: Gobwin Knob (formerly Unaroyal)
Class: Stabber (Spearman)
Proposed Canon
First Appearance: LIAB Prologue 13
Wrigley is a Unaroyal soldier. A stabber-class Infantryman, he was a spearman. He served many turns, mostly as a guard, in the City of Unaroyal, and then travelled with Royal Crown Coalition forces to Unabrow, Unatard, Bohica, and Warchalking. He took part in only two battles, both at Warchalking, the first when Coalition forces (mostly Marbits) took the city from Gobwin Knob, and again as the defending Garrison when Gobwin Knob retook it. In neither battle, nor at any other point previously, did Wrigley ever stab or croak anyone.
Wrigley was croaked by a Gobwin Knob Knight in an execution of all the prisoners after the reclamation of Warchalking by Gobwin Knob. He was then decrypted by Wanda and joined in the invasion of Spacerock. After the loss of Captains Ford and Twenty on Turn 75 AW, his unled stack attacked a Jetstone infantry stack led by a Level 1 Warlord, and Wrigley finally got to use a spear.
Real World References
A reference to Wrigley's Spearmint Gum(Wrigley the Spearman). Furthermore, Wrigley never used his spear; therefore, Wrigley's spear was mint.
Also referring to Wrigley's Doublemint gum, since he has been "minted" or created twice, thus Wrigley has been double minted.
Wrigley Field is home to Major League Baseball's Chicago Cubs, who are famously "cursed" and have not made an appearance in the World Series since 1945. This futility is perhaps referenced in Wrigley's having been a Stabber all his life without stabbing anything.
The name Wrigley and profession (spearman) might also be a reference to the phrase "wriggling at the end of a spear".

Earlier this year, the NFL suspended Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson for one game as a result of repeated illegal hits during games.
Goldson successfully appealed the suspension, getting it overturned in favor of a $100,000 fine. He'll need another reprieve to avoid a suspension this week.
As Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported and the league later announced on Monday afternoon, Goldson has been suspended one game after he was penalized for a personal foul in Sunday's victory over the Falcons. Goldson was flagged for unnecessary roughness for a hit on wide receiver Roddy White in the second quarter of the game. It was Goldson's third personal foul of the season.
Assuming Goldson appeals this suspension, it will be heard by Matt Birk, who heard Goldson's earlier appeal, or Ted Cottrell in an expedited fashion so the Bucs will know whether Goldson is available in Week 12 or not.

Every year the festival plays host to an impressive array of independent films, both foreign and domestic, and has featured such successful films as Blood Simple, Hoosiers, Reservoir Dogs, Clerks, Memento, 28 Days Later, SuperSize Me, Boyhood, and more recent notables like Dope, Mudbound, and Wind River (just to name a few!). Sundance not only presents feature-length films but also shorts and documentaries, and presents awards in such categories as acting, cinematography, screenwriting, directing, and short-filmmaking. The 2018 celebration will showcase 110 feature-length films from 29 countries; 47 of those films come from first-time filmmakers, out of a pool of 13,468 total submissions, including features, shorts, and documentaries. Some of this years more anticipated entries include Juliet Naked, Wildlife, Heart Beats Loud, The Catcher Was a Spy, and documentaries like Akicita: The Battle of Standing Rock, and Our New President. The 2018 celebration, however, comes at the helm of the whirlwind that was 2017. Continue reading

District of Columbia elections officials say some problems with electronic voting machines have led to a delay in reporting results from the city's Democratic mayoral primary.
A spokeswoman for the D.C. Board of Elections says results reported shortly before midnight Tuesday were almost entirely from paper ballots that were run through a scanner.
Spokeswoman Tamara Robinson says a handful of electronic machines were not shut down properly, and that's led officials to take a second look at electronic results to ensure they are being counted properly.
Polls closed at 8 p.m., and shortly before midnight, officials were reporting paper ballot results from 81 percent of the city's precincts. Those returns showed Mayor Vincent Gray trailing D.C. Councilmember Muriel Bowser by 10 percentage points.

Way back in 2002, when I was a newbie writer, things seemed a lot more important.
Getting interviewed was a big deal. I always made sure I updated my website the moment I scheduled an appearance somewhere. I prepared several days in advance for booksignings. I kept careful track of where my work was published. Getting an email from a fan would put a smile on my face for hours.
And I saved stuff. Lots of stuff. Newspaper articles about my work, reviews, convention programs, fan mail, flyers from appearances, and so on.
A lot has changed since then. I've done a lot of interviews, and lost track of most. I forget to update my appearance schedule on my website for weeks at a time. I know I have stories in upcoming anthologies and magazines, but can't remember them all, or even some of the titles. Answering fan mail has become work. And I've given up trying to save every piece of paper with my name printed on it.
Being a writer has lost much of its luster. Writing is no longer a dream. It's a job.
Mostly, this is good. I no longer obsessively Google myself or check my Amazon ranking. I trust that folks will find my interviews online without me having to link to them. I've given the same speeches and talks so often that I don't have to meticulously prepare beforehand. Instead of seeking out venues for my short stories, many venues seek me out.
But I sometimes miss that naive enthusiasm. I miss being excited by every little good thing that happens. I even miss obsessing over things I thought were really important but turned out not to be.
Wide-eyed wonder can't hold up against hard won experience.
But then Fed-Ex dropped off a box of my new paperbacks (Rusty Nail, the third Jack Daniels book) and I set one on my desk and glanced at it while I worked. Every time I saw it, I smiled. And I kept smiling for the rest of the day.
Things may not be new or fresh anymore, but they're still pretty damn cool. I just needed a reminder. Why plant roses if you don't stop to smell them every so often?
And on that note, here are three recent interviews:
I'll also be in the upcoming anthologies:
Tales From the Red Lion
Until Someone Loses an Eye
Chicago Blues
Perfectly Plum
Buy them all, along with the paperback of Rusty Nail if you were too cheap to spring for the hardcover...

For families in crisis, just finding an affordable place to call home can prove to be a big challenge. Finding and moving furniture or appliances to help furnish a new apartment can be an even more daunting task.
For families in crisis, just finding an affordable place to call home can prove to be a big challenge. Finding and moving furniture or appliances to help furnish a new apartment can be an even more daunting task.
The Easton-based Christian organization My Brother's Keeper, which has its roots in Taunton, has been helping to meet these needs in northern Bristol County for years. Now those efforts have spread to the southern part of the county, including Fall River and New Bedford, with the opening of the organization's Dartmouth branch.
The organization's volunteers from all walks of life help pick up gently used furniture and other items being discarded by individuals and businesses, and stores and delivers them to those who need the help. Items like beds, sofas, kitchen tables, chairs, and desks — even refrigerators and microwaves — are cleaned and delivered, along with clean linens, to help families having a rough time get a better start in a new home. This service also helps keep perfectly good furniture and appliances out of landfills and in the homes of people who truly appreciate and need these items to help get back on their feet.
My Brother's Keeper also works with other charitable organizations that may be helping families with food or clothing, but do not have furniture to offer them. Many of those served by My Brother's Keeper may have been homeless on the streets or recently moved out of transitional housing in motels and hotels.
In other cases, bed bug infestations may have forced furniture to be thrown out. They may be victims of a fire or flood. They may have wiped out their savings securing the apartment and do not have any money left to purchase furniture.
By transforming an empty apartment into a home, vulnerable families can be more at ease and really feel like they are getting a fresh start. As Josh Smith, director of the Dartmouth branch said, "Within an hour, an empty apartment looks like a home."
My Brother's Keeper has just two full-time employees, but it is able to carry out its labor-intensive work through the help of an army of volunteers. Many of the organization's 400 volunteers are students at local schools, which provides students a valuable lesson about life outside of the circumstances they might know and respecting people as people regardless of their circumstances.
With organizations like My Brother's Keeper — and there are so many other groups as well — helping to spread compassion and make life a little more comfortable for those who have fallen on hard times, we can all feel better about a strong sense of community that helps lift up everyone. Consider making a donation, volunteering or asking for help if you need it.
To make a furniture donation, request help or volunteer, call My Brother's Keeper at 508-238-4416 or visit www.MyBrothersKeeper.org. Adult volunteers are also needed for pickups and deliveries, sorting items, cleaning, light furniture repair and other tasks.

People often lack motivation to exercise, so belonging to a gym will help since they require a monthly fee, making you want to use what you paid for. The atmosphere is motivating since trainers offer safe, planned workouts. Many intend to exercise at home, but it's very easy to get distracted and gym equipment and videos are costly and take up space.

WBIE announces that Paxton Fettel will be available as a playable character in the single-player campaign in F.E.A.R. 3, the upcoming horror-themed shooter sequel in development at Day 1 Studios. The character, previously announced for the co-op campaign, will be unlocked at the end of each level after first playing through it as Point Man. Word is: "Paxton Fettel offers a unique single player experience focused on his supernatural abilities giving players a new way to play through the level in a way that's different from Point Man's enhanced super soldier abilities. In the single player campaign, Fettel will wield his telekinetic abilities to suspend, possess, stun or crush enemies. Giving players a choice in who they play as in single player offers additional gameplay value and enables players to re-play a level using different powers and tactics." These new screenshots show off Fettel's mettle, and this trailer offers a brief autobiography and some glimpses of gameplay. The trailer is also embedded below.

Glenn Senecal is back for his seventh season as an assistant at Central Connecticut State University.
CCSU head coach Beryl Piper brought in Senecal to join the Blue Devil staff in her first season at the helm. Senecal, who assists with recruiting, team travel and scheduling, came to New Britain after a one-year stint as an assistant at Albany.
The Nichols College graduate brings a wealth of coaching experience to the Blue Devil program. Prior to working with the Great Danes, Senecal was the head coach at Mitchell College for three seasons beginning in 2003.
While at Mitchell, Senecal led the team to a regular season co-championship in Region 21 and a runner-up finish in the Northeast Division III Association of Independents.
"Glenn offers our program another assistant with a wide variety of experience," Piper said. "He has a great personality and will be a dedicated coach who will work hard to recruit student-athletes to our program. Glenn will also give his time to the student-athletes at Central. He will be there to help them reach their potential on the court as well as in the classroom."
The 23-year veteran of college coaching has also served as an assistant at Boston University, Bryant University, The College of the Holy Cross, Assumption College and Nichols College.
During Senecal's tenure at Boston University, the Terriers won their first America East Championship and appeared in the NCAA Tournament. Senecal also helped guide Assumption to the NCAA Tournament.
Senecal, who is also in charge of equipment, supervising film exchange, organizing scout teams and camps/clinics at CCSU, began his career as an assistant varsity coach at Tourtellotte Memorial High in Thompson, CT. He has also coached at Marianapolis Prep.
Senecal lives with his wife, Brenda, and son, Andrew, in Putnam, CT.

The mid-game collapse of footballer Fabrice Muamba has received massive press attention this week, as the 23-year-old was left in a critical condition after his heart stopped beating.
The Bolton Wanderers midfielder collapsed during an FA Cup tie against Tottenham and needed urgent medical attention to restart his heart.
Since his collapse on Saturday, Muamba has been treated at the London Chest Hospital, where his condition has improved. He has now regained consciousness and is reported to be comfortable, although medics are still monitoring his health. The exact cause of Muamba's cardiac arrest has not been revealed.
A great deal of newspaper coverage has centred on the potential risk of serious hidden heart problems among young people. However, these types of collapses and conditions are rare and the public's awareness of them is often higher when they occur in a high-profile setting, such as during televised sport.
What is a cardiac arrest?
A cardiac arrest occurs when the heart suddenly stops pumping blood around the body. The immediate cause of this is usually an abnormal heart rhythm, called ventricular fibrillation. This occurs when the electrical activity of the heart becomes so chaotic that the heart stops its normal rhythmic beating and quivers instead. Someone who has a cardiac arrest loses consciousness almost at once, and it is vital that their heart is restarted as soon as possible to ensure they survive. This will often require the use of an electronic device called a defibrillator to shock the heart back into normal beating.
A cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack, which occurs if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to a section of heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked. If blood flow isn't restored quickly, the section of heart muscle begins to die. A heart attack usually happens because of coronary heart disease.
A cardiac arrest may also be caused by the loss of large amounts of blood or fluid, lack of oxygen, the body being very hot or cold, and a blood clot in the lungs or arteries. A heart attack can lead to cardiac arrest in some cases.
What is cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
A sudden stoppage of the heart can cause permanent damage to other organs and it is vital that blood flow is restored quickly. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is an essential technique that is used to prevent permanent damage or even death. In CPR, the heart is pumped by external cardiac massage to keep the circulation going. CPR may also involve rescue breathing, where the lungs are inflated using mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, often referred to as the "kiss of life".
Cardiac arrest can sometimes be corrected by giving an electric shock through the chest wall using a defibrillator. Defibrillators are increasingly found in public places, including sports grounds, although they should only be used by people who are trained to use them.
What could have caused Muamba's cardiac arrest?
There are many different causes of cardiac arrest in young people. It has not been revealed what caused Muamba to collapse, but there has been much speculation in the press about possible causes. Most cardiac arrests in young people stem from either genetic abnormalities in the heart muscle (cardiomyopathies) or abnormalities of the heart's electrical activity. Some of the conditions discussed in recent news include:
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM, also known as hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy). This is the most common cause of cardiac arrest in young people. In HCM, the heart muscle becomes excessively thick, which makes the heart vulnerable to abnormal heart rhythms (including ventricular fibrillation). This is a genetic, inherited abnormality but can be made worse by prolonged athletic training, which causes the heart muscle to thicken, similar to the way exercise causes the muscles in our limbs to increase in size.
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC, also called right ventricular dysplasia). This is another common cause of cardiac arrest in young people. It often runs in families and happens when some of the heart muscle (in the right ventricle) is replaced by fibrous tissue and fat.
- Ion channelopathies, a range of rare genetic disorders. These cause abnormalities in the microscopic channels within the cells of the heart, which regulate the flow of sodium, potassium and calcium into and out of the cells. These chemicals are important in the way the heart generates electricity to power its beating. If these channels do not work properly, the electrical currents in the heart muscle cells are disturbed, which can lead to abnormal heart rhythms. One of the highest-profile ion channelopathies is called Long QT Syndrome.
In middle-aged and older adults, cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death is usually caused by coronary artery disease, in which the small blood vessels that supply the heart become narrowed by a build-up of fatty material and may suddenly block.
Are these conditions common?
No. The defects that can cause cardiac arrest in young people are fairly rare. For instance, in the whole of the UK it is estimated that only 10,000 people have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. While it is a serious medical condition that requires treatment, the scale of the problem is lower than some news reports have suggested.
According to the charity Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), each year at least 12 people under the age of 35 die suddenly in the UK from undiagnosed heart conditions. It says that many of those who die are involved in sport which, while it does not cause the problem, can exacerbate existing undiagnosed heart conditions.
What about screening?
There has also been much debate in the papers about whether medical checks for these conditions in people at risk are adequate. Screening for cardiac conditions may include an electrocardiogram (ECG), which looks at the electrical conduction pathways around the heart, and an echocardiogram, an ultrasound scan of the structure of the heart. Screening techniques will detect some but not all of the conditions that can cause cardiac arrest, and even repeated screenings may not detect some heart problems. While most elite athletes will be regularly screened, the European Society of Cardiology and the International Olympic Committee recommend cardiac screening for any young person taking part in competitive sport.
Because the conditions that cause cardiac arrest in young people can be inherited, relatives of anyone who has died suddenly after a cardiac arrest should be evaluated for signs of any relevant heart condition, as they could be at risk of similar events.
What should I do if someone has a cardiac arrest?
If someone is not breathing normally and is not moving or responding to you after an accident, call 999 for an ambulance. Then, if you can, start performing CPR straight away. CPR can keep blood and oxygen circulating in the body. If you can do CPR, it may buy the vital time needed for professional help to arrive. Find out more about CPR.
The British Heart Foundation and other organisations run courses that teach important emergency life-support techniques. Read more information on the British Heart Foundation website.

Further Exploration
Reading with great interest the article "Exploring Barnard's Archaeology Curriculum" in the Spring issue, it occurred to me another discipline might be included. The relationship between anthropology and archaeology could well add the discipline of folklore. Folklore classes, if not in a department of folklore, are taught in many schools under anthropology or English. Material culture is an important component of folklore as it is with the other two disciplines. Perhaps future folklore courses will be included in the Barnard curriculum. The three disciplines meld in many ways. Congratulations for the start in archaeology.

The Bear Facts
As one of the original Barnard Bears in the late '70s, reading the article about the origins of varsity athletics at the College brought back many fond memories. Being on the tennis team was an enriching experience for me.... So I am concerned that Barnard women are so underrepresented on the athletic rosters of the University today—fewer than 15 percent of the female athletes attend Barnard. While the article states that "coaches on the consortium teams pitch prospective athletes equally on attending Barnard and Columbia …," I am wondering if enough is being done to encourage student athletes to attend Barnard. These young women would obviously benefit from "the Barnard education" while fitting well with its motto of "Strong and Beautiful." Having student-athletes on campus would also add another dimension to I just got around to reading the Spring 2009 Barnard Magazine and noticed that two photos in the "Remembering the Barnard Bears" article were misidentified. On page 24, photo no. 2 is basketball player Ellen Bossert, not Ula Lysniak. Also, photo no. 3 is runner Cynthia (Cindy) Babski '82, not Ylonka Wills. I was a member of the basketball team, and I was a friend of Cindy Babski. I also know Ula. It would be nice if you could make the correction in the next magazine.

Astrid Cravens, Barnard College Image Archivist, replies: While we make every effort to check and double check sources, locations, and identities, sometimes mistakes happen. In this case, we reversed the caption for the image the magazine ran, with another. We are grateful, however, for the identification of Ms. Bossert and will add this information to our records.
Thank you so much for "Remembering the Barnard Bears" by Mary Witherell (Spring 2009). I came to the Barnard Track Team in 1982 and felt immediately welcomed by the athletic community and Mary, who I will always think of as a tireless advocate for women's sports in and around the campus.

'Rock of Ages' movie casting: Hit
Julianne Hough, Alec Baldwin, Mary J. Blige and ... Tom Cruise? The cast in director Adam Shankman's movie adaptation of "Rock of Ages" is a bit eclectic -- made moreso if the rumored casting of Russell Brand comes to fruition -- but will it work? Though both have limited acting experience, Hough has proved her dancing chops and Blige is one of the signature hip-hop/R&B singers of the past few decades. Baldwin's a multiple Emmy-winner, and Cruise has shown his musical aptitude (his "Tropic Thunder" cameo was praised) and, despite "Knight and Day," he's is a bona fide megastar. Chemistry, a good script and a good production aside, it seems like an ideal cast for their respective roles. We'll see how it comes together. -- Jevon Phillips Photos, from left: Julianne Hough, Tom Cruise and Mary J. Blige. All credits: Associated Press

Grade Raising
Galveston, Texas, is located on a barrier island two miles off the upper Texas Gulf coast. Subject to extremes in weather, the city is particularly vulnerable to hurricanes in the western Gulf of Mexico. Galveston during the 1890s was a booming seaport and one of the nation's wealthiest cities. The Storm of September 8, 1900, changed the city's fortunes. It killed approximately 8,000 people on Galveston Island and left an estimated $28 million in property losses.
In recovering from this cataclysm, Galveston transformed itself through political and technological changes. It pioneered the commission form of local government in 1901, undertook the construction of the initial portion of the Seawall (1902-04), raised the city's grade (1904-10), and opened the new causeway (1912). These improvements meant that Galveston was much better prepared to cope with an even more severe hurricane in August 1915.
The Rosenberg Library has significant archives about this transformational period of our city's past. Its letters, photographs, oral histories, and other materials form the basis of this project. The separate collections can be found by following the Collections link above.

Today we're going to talk about your public persona.
Hmm? You don't have a public persona?
Why the hell not?
Public figures need public personas. Writers are public figures. You're a writer.
Even if you stay inside your house 24/7, you're still a public figure, still able to make an impression on the public via the Internet, mail, and phone calls.
You want the impression you leave to be favorable. Every human contact you make or potentially make has the power to recruit fans. Or it can sour people on you before they read a single word.
Your public persona is what you chose to show the world. It's your game face. You reveal what you want them to see. Even if it isn't the real you.
In fact, revealing the real you is probably a mistake.
Authors are insecure types. We seek validation, bristle at criticism, and tend to be demanding, volatile, egotistical, and prone to pessimism. We have a sense of entitlement, and often superiority, while at the same time complaining about everything.
This attitude, if shown in public, won't sell many books for you.
What does sell books?
1. Being nice. Never underestimate the power of a kind word or gesture.
2. Being positive. Remaining upbeat, and projecting an aura of success, helps to actually breed success. Never complain in public, no matter what happens. The only difference between a winner and a loser is the winner is smiling.
3. Being attractive. I'm not talking about physical beauty. I'm speaking of charisma. Be the person that other people want to be. Adjust your words, your clothes, your posture, your style, and invite the world to join your party.
4. Being available. Allowing people to have access to you can only help your cause. The bigger you get, the less time you have, and the more people will appreciate your generosity.
5. Being forgiving. Mistakes will be made. Publishing is made up of people, and people aren't perfect. Neither is the publishing industry. You want to be a duck's back, not a sponge.
6. Being confident. Neediness and desperation are guaranteed ways to scare people away.
7. Being aware. Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative. If you don't have anything positive about you, fake it. If you suck at public speaking, stay off the microphone. You need to know your strengths and your limitations, and adjust accordingly.
8. Being professional. This is a business. Be businesslike. That means staying on your toes, not relaxing. It means taking this seriously, not thinking it's a game.
As a writer, you're the first and biggest salesperson for your writing. Thousands of people will judge your books by your persona rather than your words.
Make sure your persona is just as good as your words.
