The Super Hero Initial T-Shirt by liliputians-NYC is very stylish and trendy. The material is soft and comfy and washes easily. These clothes are all handmade, truly boutique pieces. I believe the designer describes them as "heirloom quality rarely seen today". I liked the t-shirt very much, but frankly I could not afford to spend that much on a piece of clothing for my child, let alone myself. The clothing items are pricey, but keep in mind many pieces are "one-of-a-kind". I suppose if there is a nice coupon code out there to help with the cost, it could be worth it. There is lots of cute stuff to consider!
1. The functionality (how well it did its job) 10
2. Ease of use 10

WADA Partners with WTC at IRONMAN World Championship
The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and World Triathlon Corporation (WTC) will join forces at the IRONMAN® World Championship presented by myList in Kailua-Kona, Hawai`i, this week to promote anti-doping and to raise awareness for clean sport.
Today, Tuesday, Oct. 9, has been designated as the 'Say NO! To Doping' day, while the anti-doping activities throughout the week will be based on the WTC 'Ask Me Why I Am TRUE' campaign.
WADA and WTC are also teaming up at the IRONMAN Village Expo where outreach activities will target the nearly 2,000 professional and age group athletes competing in the 2012 IRONMAN World Championship.
In addition, the outreach team will share its anti-doping message with the next generation of triathletes at the 'Keiki Dip 'n' Dash' children's event, taking place Today (Oct. 9) at 4 p.m. HST.
The young athletes will receive anti-doping information and promotional materials, which are designed to educate them on how to make the right decisions later in their triathlon careers.
"WTC is pleased to partner with WADA to promote clean sport for all triathletes, both professional and age group, and to set the right example for the next generation of our sport," said Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer of WTC. "I encourage all athletes to be a part of the 'Ask Me Why I Am TRUE' campaign, and to remain true to the principles of clean sport."
The on-site anti-doping outreach efforts will reach a conclusion on Saturday, Oct. 13 (race day), when nearly 2,000 athletes embark on the 140.6-mile journey that presents the ultimate test of body, mind and spirit to hear the coveted words: "You are an IRONMAN."
"WADA is excited to be working hand-in-hand with WTC on this anti-doping awareness initiative and to continue promoting the values of clean sport," said WADA President John Fahey.
"The opportunity to interact and educate young athletes is vital in the fight against doping and we are confident the partnership with WTC will bring some lasting benefits to these athletes."

Fresh off a three-day tour of India, Hillary Clinton arrived on Bali Thursday to attend a regional forum hosted by the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean). Since her first visit in 2009, the United States has taken an increasingly active role in regional politics, signing treaties, strengthening ties and speaking out on regional disputes. In Bali, she'll be laying the groundwork for President Obama's visit this autumn. Here are three things to watch for during her trip:
1. Anxiety About China.
Early in her tenure, Clinton stood at a podium at an Asean summit and declared: "We're back." After years of neglect, she promised, the United States was once again interested in Southeast Asia. It was also a warning. While the United States was busy waging its Quixotic War on Terror, an ascendent China was making nice with its neighbors, investing heavily in the likes of Laos, Vietnam and Burma. Their spending spree continues. When tiny, Communist-controlled Laos won the right to host the Southeast Asian Games, China built them an aquatics complex and a soccer stadium. In return, they won the right to build a Chinese-run industrial complex on the outskirts of the Laotian capital, Vientiane.
America's unease about China's regional influence is all-too evident in the latest batch of Wikileaks cables. The dispatches, written by U.S. officials in Cambodia, include a cable about China's plans to celebrate 50 years of Sino-Cambodian relations. It said China was set to achieve a "new apogee" in relations with Cambodia and the region. "Cambodia's 'Year of China' looks to become its 'Century of China,'" it reads. Last year, the U.S. embassy sent a cable asking that Clinton attend its 60-year celebration in order to prove "that our commitment to Cambodia is not eclipsed by the growing influence of China." Clearly, America is feeling a little anxious. That's why they're sending the Secretary of State.
2. A Focus on Maritime Security
Clinton will step off the plane and into a messy regional dispute over some small slivers of maritme real estate with enormous strategic and symbolic value. Brunei, China, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam each claim all or part of the South China Sea. Although it's a long-standing conflict, there's been an upsurge in saber-rattling, as well as handful of squimishes, over the last few months. This week, a group of Filipino lawmakers visited the Spratlys in an audaciously-timed effort to bolster their country's claim.
Enter Clinton. The Secretary of State said last year that the United States has a "national interest" in the South China Sea. Of course, China disagrees. Vice Foreign minister Cui Tiankai warned the Americans not to get involved. "I believe the individual countries are actually playing with fire, and I hope the fire will not be drawn to the United States," he said last month. Given the United States' strategic interests and its long-standing ties to Philippines, it's unlikely Clinton will stay mum.
3. A Word for Human Rights?
There are calls for Clinton to speak out on her host country's human rights record. Indonesia, a Muslim-majority nation with a population that exceeds 245 million, is, for the most part, a peaceful, pluralistic place. But recent incidents raise questions about the government's willingness to reign-in the military and protect its people from abuse at the hands of extremists. Last year, the United States lifted a 12-year suspension of relations with Kopassus, an Indonesian special forces unit accused of widespread abuse. Critics say the've yet to be brought to justice and that military violence continues, particularly in West Papua.
Rights groups also hope Clinton will urge the government to do more to protect religious minorities. In February, a mob beat three Ahmadi Muslims to death in plain view of the police. Only twelve men have been charged and, if convicted, they face just 5-7 months in jail. Human Rights Watch is urging Clinton to condemn the killings. With much on her agenda, it will be interesting to see if she heeds the call.Source; http://globalspin.blogs.time.com

Men's soccer head coach Tim Vom Steeg, women's basketball head coach Carlene Mitchell, and men's cross country's Juan Paredes will be join host Gerry Fall on this week's "Talk'n Gauchos."
"Talk'n Gauchos," which is broadcast every Tuesday from the Beachside Bar and Cafe, can be heard over the air on KZSB AM 1290 the Santa Barbara News-Press Radio Station and online at UCSBgauchos.com from 6-7 p.m.
Fans are encouraged to attend the show live at the Beachside. Located on Goleta Beach, fans in attendance will be able to see the guests in person as well as participate in raffles and drawings featuring UCSB prizes.
Vom Steeg's side is coming off a heartbreaking loss to rival Cal Poly. The Mustangs were able to score a golden goal in the sixth minute of overtime after equalizing with just over a minute to play in regulation. A crowd of 13,467 -- the top attendance mark in the NCAA this season -- came out to watch the nationally televised match. The Gauchos will host their final two home games of the regular season, including a "senior night" matchup against Stanford on Friday night.
Carlene Mitchell and the women's basketball team are preparing for the rapidly approaching season opener. Nov. 5's matchup against Vanguard will kickoff the start of Mitchell's second season at the head of the program. Her first year -- capped by a Big West championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament -- was wildly successful.
Juan Paredes will be featured on the show as part of UCSB Athletics' ongoing "Great Example" campaign. Juan and the cross country teams will be participating in the Big West Championships this weekend in Riverside, Calif.

Research and Related Interests:
My research (and other) interests include:
- Paleomagnetism
Research in understanding and using the fossil magnetism in geologic materials at the University of Texas at Dallas goes back to the grand period of time when the hypothesis of sea floor spreading and reversals of the geomagnetic field were being elevated to viable theories to explain truly first order Earth processes. Research by Chuck Helsley, Gary Scott, Wulf Gose, K. Graham, Maureen Steiner, Gary Scott, Scott Reeve, and others contributed greatly to our understanding of the fossil magnetism preserved in rocks of North America, as paleomagnetic research was expanding across the globe. It is a privilege and treat to be able to resurrect a laboratory in paleomagnetic research at UT Dallas! Current and near-future research projects include (1) tectonic evolution of the western and north-central Great Basin, (2) tectonic evolution of parts of the eastern syntaxial region, Himalayas, (3) paleomagnetism of the Karoo intrusive series, (4) magnetostratigraphy and geochronology of Upper Permian/lowermost Triassic strata, west-Texas and eastern New Mexico, (5) magnetostratigraphy of early Hominid bearing strata, Libya, (6) paleomagnetism and magnetostratigraphy of Upper Permian to lowermost Triassic strata, Turpan Basin, (7) the Colorado Plateau Coring Project—over 100 Ma of nearly continuous stratigraphic record, (8) paleomagnetism and geochronology of the central Montana alkalic province.
- Rock Magnetism
Rock magnetic studies have improved our understanding of how geologically significant magnetizations in an array of geologic materials are acquired and carried by magnetic phases, and in particular how particle size, shape, chemistry, distribution, and origin relate to such stable magnetizations. Current rock magnetic research includes understanding the controls on magnetic fabrics in a wide range of intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks, by examining anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and anisotropy of magnetic remanence (particularly AARM) in relation to several rock magnetic parameters, and the magnetic mineralogy.
- Conveying the Importance of Science to Our Society
Science, and in particular the Geosciences, have never been more important and relevant to decision making processes at all levels, as the human race contemplates how to keep itself from being eliminated in the near future. Professional Geoscience societies, like the Geological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, play a great role in fostering the importance of Geoscience, through peer-reviewed publications, an array of meetings, and interaction with local, state, and federal agencies. The survival of these professional societies is dependent on the volunteer efforts of their members. I am looking forward to continued service to the Geological Society of America as Vice President beginning in July, 2010, and President in the following year.
- Removing Ignorance as Well as Fear of Science in Our Society
Science is the only way of knowing about the natural world. This is a fact, and there is no disputing it. The 1999 National Academy of Sciences publication Science and Creationism states, "The tremendous success of science in explaining natural phenomena and fostering technical innovation arises from its focus on explanations that can be inferred from confirmable data." This publication also describes important and very frequently used terms in Science, including Theory: "In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses." The immense problems facing the human race can only be solved by a scientifically literate society.
- Good music played on a nice system
Not much more to say on this one, especially using well-preserved vinyl.

Nigeria/Ethiopia: Super Eagles Soar to Quarter-Finals
Photo: Ryan Wilkisky/BackpagePix
Nigeria netted two late penalties to seal their passage through to the quarter-finals of the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in a 2-0 victory over the 10 men of Ethiopia on Tuesday.
It was a deserved win for the Super Eagles, who laboured at times but edged the chances. Their prize for making it through is a meeting with tournament favourites Cote d'Ivoire at the same venue on Sunday.
Ethiopia can have no arguments about the penalty awards and bow out of the competition in last place in their pool. Theirs was a rather limp end to a campaign that promised much after their opening-day draw with defending champions Zambia.
Chelsea star Victor Moses was fouled for both spot kicks and picked himself up on each occasion to slot home, the second past midfielder Addis Hintsa who had been forced to deputise in goal after the regular gloveman, Sasay Bancha, had been red carded.
Moses had been dropped from Nigeria's opener in this tournament against Burkina Faso. Coach Stephen Keshi suggested he was not match fit but privately there were whispers that his form was not good enough.
However, tonight he was the catalyst for all that was good about Nigeria, his incisive wide play and excellent delivery causing Ethiopia problems from beginning to end.
Super Eagles defender Efe Ambrose should have done better early on when he headed wide at the far post from a Moses pin-point free kick..
Bancha then produced a fine save when Elderson Echiejile got on the end of another Moses delivery, this time a corner, but could not beat the goalkeeper.
Kenneth Omeruo was the next Nigerian player to have a chance, but he blazed over when he should at least have hit the target, before Godfrey Oboabona saw his header cleared off the line by Ethiopian Abebaw Butako.
It was looking as if the game might head for a 0-0 draw that would have seen both sides bow out of the competition, but Nigeria's pressure finally paid off when Alula Girma brought down Moses in the box on 79 minutes for a clear penalty award. The Premiership star made no mistake with the spot kick.
And Moses had another opportunity just before fulltime when Bancha sent him tumbling with a crude lunge as he broke into the penalty box. The keeper was sent off and with Ethiopia having used all their substitutions, that Hintsa had to take over in goal.
To Hintsa's credit he went the right way with the spot kick, but could not keep Moses' effort out.

'Up'-Themed Birthday Party Is Whimsically Adorable
It's really the little things that make Carl from the Pixar movie 'Up' the perfect party costume — the tennis balls on that PVC pipe walker are not only functional, they're also accurate. Okay, *technically* the tennis balls should be on a cane, but what are you going to do, fill a kid up on cake then give him essentially a big stick to swing around? That's a surefire way to ruin the cutest party ever. Get a closer look at Lil' Carl below.

Atomistic Electronic Structure Calculations of Unstrained Alloyed Systems Consisting of a Million Atoms
Published on
The broadening of the conduction and valence band edges due to compositional disorder in alloyed materials of finite extent is studied using an s p3 s ∗ tight binding model. Two sources of broadening due to configuration and concentration disorder are identified. The concentrational disorder dominates for systems up to at least one million atoms and depends on problem size through an inverse square root law. Significant differences (over 12 meV) in band edge energies are seen depending on choice of granularity of alloy clusters.

One girl's twistedly fantastic interpretation of what the hell is really going on in those tribes.

Allie: The Villainess
Let's try to cruise through these final four as quickly as possible. Next up is 25 year old bartender Allie Pohevitz from Oceanside, N.Y.. Glancing over her CBS.com bio, Allie strikes me as one of the most relatable of the bunch. Anyone who lists "drinking at work" as one of her hobbies is not only someone I respect, but someone I admire.
When asked what she'd take to the island, Allie replied, "Eyeliner - so I could be prettier than I already am." Not only is that the best answer I've heard yet to this question, but those 10 words tell us everything we need to know about Allie. She's confident, matter of fact, fearless, probably slightly insecure and, if it was meant to be funny, a budding comedienne with a dry sense of humor. Or it could mean that she's a superficial cow who shouldn't be marooned on a deserted island because she could mess up her hair. *shrugs shoulders* Who knows.
To the video! Please to enjoy:
You know what? I think I like her. She's tough and she doesn't give rehearsed stock answers that make my ears bleed. I appreciate her money hungry bloodlust and she could probably handle herself in a bar fight with a pageant princess. Don't get me wrong, she's no Abi-Maria. No one will ever be as great as my precious Abi-Maria, but Allie has some promise. Let's keep an eye on this one.
So, what do you think of Allie? Can she be our new Survivor villainess?
5 comments:
She was a bartender, just like Malcom, so I can see them being able to relate to each other. Plus, she has the blonde hair and nice cans, like Cookie. I could there being a good natural alliance there between them if they both can make it to the merge.ReplyDelete
I think she'll be my favorite of the Fans.
I like Allie the best, like you say she gives is the least generic type answers and seems to be able to handle herself. She's my female fan favourite, so we'll see how she goes...ReplyDelete
- KristiBeanFebruary 11, 2013 at 5:03 PM
She reminds me of Sammi Sweetheart from Jersey Shore for some reasonReplyDelete
finally.... a personality. i like her. she seems rough around the edges.ReplyDelete
I 100% agree with KristiBean.ReplyDelete
1st thing I thought was Sammi from JS dyed her hair blonde. Oh well, at least she doesn't seem boring.

Do-It-Yourself or Hire a Designer?
Expert Overview
If you're contemplating whether or not to work with a kitchen designer, there are several factors to consider. One is additional cost, as designers charge a fee,
but the advantages of having that professional guidance are numerous. The right designer can take you step by step through the entire kitchen design process.
Creating a new kitchen on your own may cost less. But it takes a lot of time, research and perseverance. Hiring a designer is an investment that can really pay off in the long run.
Think about: Timing
Be realistic about how long the process can take. Beyond measuring your space, shopping for materials, delivery and installation, there are many steps and choices
to navigate along the way.
Think about: Contingencies
There will always be surprises, no matter how simple things may seem. Perhaps the tile you like isn't available, or the flooring is taking longer to install. Plan for
delays, and pad your budget to cover the unexpected.
Think about: When to get help
You may be a natural at choosing your cabinetry. But an experienced designer can guide you through the more complex parts of the process. They'll be able to help
you create a roadmap.

Obama's pot promise a pipe dream?
President Barack Obama has turned out to be a real buzzkill.
Back when he was running in 2008, Obama said he supported the "basic concept of using medical marijuana for the same purposes and with the same controls as other drugs" and that he was "not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws." He didn't go farther. But he also didn't do anything to dissuade speculation among medical marijuana proponents who took this as a sign that the man headed to the Oval Office was on their side.
Story Continued Below
Four years later, the raids on drug dispensaries have kept up — despite a Justice Department memo formalizing low-enforcement priority instructions from Attorney General Eric Holder, who announced in a March 2009 press conference that the raids would stop on distributors who were in compliance with state and local law. Obama never said anything about supporting legalization or decriminalization, but his medical marijuana statements were enough to get him heralded by some in the larger pro-pot community as the best hope for chipping away at the decades-long drug war.
But the hopes that Obama would be a kinder, gentler, more tolerant drug warrior have gone up in smoke.
"I'm very disappointed," Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), a longtime supporter of marijuana legalization and medical marijuana, told POLITICO. "They look more like the Bush administration than the Clinton administration."
( Also on POLITICO: 4/20: Nine pols who talked pot.)
The dejected medical marijuana supporters are hardly alone. For many in 2008, candidate Obama was like a political Rorschach test: They projected strong progressive positions about everything from legalizing gay marriage to ending all military involvement onto a candidate who never said he agreed with them — but also never explicitly said he didn't.
Now they're looking at four years into the Obama administration and wondering where they went wrong.
"I believed in him," Montana-based activist and medical cannabis user Sarah Combs said about the president. "I don't believe a word he says now."
Combs, a native South Carolinian who uses medical marijuana to treat her epilepsy, packed up her life and moved to Montana, where medical marijuana has been legal since 2004.
According to Combs, a sizable Montana community of patients and growers felt empowered by the DOJ memo and the administration's supportive statements to open up shop, register patients and begin paying taxes on what they thought was now a legitimate business. Then in 2011, federal forces from several agencies raided 26 dispensaries across 13 Montana cities. Other dispensaries have been raided in states like California, Washington, Michigan, and Colorado.
All told, the federal government has raided more than 100 dispensaries — with the most recent busts of a San Francisco Bay area marijuana training center. Obama has vowed more money to hunt down Latin American drug traffickers, promising an extra $200 million in a 2011 press conference with El Salvador President Mauricio Funes. He's kept in place Bush administration anti-medical marijuana administrators in key administration positions.

At the Mad Men Season 6 premiere last month at the Director's Guild Theater in Hollywood, Jon Hamm told reporters that the drama's time frame for this season has parallels to today – an intriguing idea, in that Mad Men is now in 1968, arguably the most dramatic year of calamity and change in those tumultuous times. (Yes, yes – we know hyper-secretive series creator Matt Weiner wanted the year kept under wraps, but it has already been reported elsewhere.)
There is certainly no way of knowing by the hints dropped in tonight's two-hour season opener where Weiner will be taking Hamm's ad man Don Draper and his associates. As has happened before, Weiner could be laying groundwork for something unexpected a few episodes down the road. But in a striking change, he gives us a glimpse of Draper failing; he presents his plans for an ad campaign and the clients react negatively. Draper's imagery of a man walking into the sea does not make them think of an enticing "experience" at their Hawaii resort. Rather, it reminds them of James Mason as Norman Maine, heading out to drown himself at the end of the 1954 Judy Garland movie A Star is Born. Has the charmed pitchman lost his touch? Is he out of touch amid the reefer-scented new social order? He's 40 now, in a world full of young people vowing not to trust anyone over 30.
Weiner has said that this is the season in which we will discover the real Don Draper/Dick Whitman and the "broken foundation" that's led him to be as he is. What a risk! At this point, the wisp-of-smoke mystery of the character could well be more intriguing than any concrete reality even Weiner could fashion. I can hardly wait to see.
Weiner's integration of A Star is Born is tantalizing because it is the story of a woman's career overshadowing a man's and the men of Mad Men seem to be burning out while women rise. Former secretaries Peggy and Joan (Elisabeth Moss and Christina Hendricks) have ascending careers now, just ahead of the hear-me-roar women's movement curve. Weiner's title for the premiere episode – "The Doorway" – is telling, too, as Roger Sterling (John Slattery) muses to his shrink about life being a series of doors that close behind us, and at some point we reach a final door, a final experience. Weiner's genius for extracting the essence of the past with well-chosen iconic references that seem specific to his characters shows again – Experience, Doors of Perception – as he heads for his landmark series' final door this penultimate season.

Superhero Caped Socks
Sock It To the Bad Guys
- Choose from Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman
- Fits women's shoe size 6 1/2 to men's size 12.
- People like socks. Socks are cool.
Your socks are one of the few places you can secretly be geeky that still allow you to show your geekiness off if your audience earns it. Geeky underwear, not so much. At least, well, unless you have to moon the folks in question. And although the Superman shirt reveal is awesome, you end up spending a lot of time reattaching buttons to all your dress shirts instead of fighting crime.
Geeky socks are a lot more subtle, even ones with frickin' capes attached to them. You just have to lift the hem of your pants, and voila: secret identity revealed. So now the decision is yours to make: which superhero? We have these in Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Choose wisely.
Superhero Caped Socks
- Choose from Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman
- One size fits women's shoe size 6 1/2 to men's size 12
- Materials: 80% acrylic / 17% polyester / 3% Spandex (make sure this is still true)
- Care Instructions: Machine wash warm. Separate colors.
- Imported
- For ages 14+
- Warning: Socks do not allow wearer to fly.

Yesterday, we reported a Silicon Valley VC's prognosis for Twitter:
"Twitter had better sell out before it's too late. Young people don't like Twitter. My kids think Twitter's bullshit."
This led to a spirited discussion about VCs, the "broadcast-y-ness" of Twitter, and those all-important early-adopter kids.
And now the NYT's Claire Cain Miller has followed up with a long investigation into why teens hate Twitter--and why the VC's instinct to trust his kids may be misguided:
Kristen Nagy, an 18-year-old from Sparta, N.J., sends and receives 500 text messages a day. But she never uses Twitter, even though it publishes similar snippets of conversations and observations.
"I just think it's weird and I don't feel like everyone needs to know what I'm doing every second of my life," she said.
Her reluctance to use Twitter, a feeling shared by others in her age group, has not doomed the microblogging service. Just 11 percent of its users are aged 12 to 17, according to comScore. Instead, Twitter's unparalleled explosion in popularity has been driven by a decidedly older group. That success has shattered a widely held belief that young people lead the way to popularizing innovations.

Everyone needs a laugh on Friday. And in honor of some visitors to my home, I decided to post this video for Video Friday:
Video Friday: There is no scapegoat for changeApril 21st, 2011 by jwjobblogwp No comments »
Video Friday – Leave Your Home Life HomeFebruary 25th, 2011 by jwjobblogwp No comments »
Do you sabotage your interviews by bringing your home life with you?
We all have responsibilities at home, but when you are trying to make a good impression on your potential new boss, remember your problems are not their problems. As a candidate, you need to fully concentrate on what you offer to your future company. What skills and talents do you bring? You wouldn't bring a hamper of dirty laundry into an interview. Don't bring your personal life with you.
Smart CEOs are Hiring the Unemployed (or at least they should be )January 17th, 2011 by jwjobblogwp 4 comments »
Hey CEO's! If I could save you time, money, and attrition at your company, organization or business would you listen to me?
If I could show you how to increase your profits, orders, donations, services to your customers would it be worth your time?
Well, listen up.
For anyone who has been out of work for an extended period of time, last Friday's Huffington Post article, How Employers Weed Out Unemployed Job Applicants, Others, Behind The Scenes isn't news.
Anyone who has been looking for a while has hit up against the bias of employers passing them over in favor of people currently working. Recruiters and HR staff cite that they are getting their marching orders from the top because people who are unemployed are perceived as not being up to speed, not current or just lazy and unqualified.
To tell you the truth, in a weird way I admire the folks who actually admit their bias. As someone seeking work, it is far better to know where not to waste my time, than to try to uncover whether or not an employer is weeding out candidates based on unemployment status.
Smart CEO's have done their homework and know such practices are neither immoral nor illegal. But what you may not know, CEOs, is what you are doing is bad business. Oh, people who are unemployed may argue that it's unfair or not right; but we all know what's driving the decision. It's the bottom line. Money talks.
Okay, I'm going look at this from your big chair at the head of the board table.
And, for those of you playing along at home who are unemployed, you should listen, too.
Profit is driving decisions today; or at the very least, there is a need to grow and support a non-profit, to provide funding and grants to educational institutions, or supply a tax base for government services to keep organizations viable. Everyone needs to know the dollars they spend today will return to keep their company or organization in the black, not put them in the red.
We all can agree on that point, right? No big news here. But how do you do it? The economy is recovering… slowly. How can you speed up the process, how can you make gains this quarter and the next?
Hey, are you still with me? I'm going to let you in on a secret.
If you want the economy to recover faster, if you want to add money to your budget rather than slash it, want investment in your business, want consumers to buy your products, want people to donate to your cause HIRE SOMEONE WHO IS UNEMPLOYED.
I wrote about this in December – granted you were probably busy with end of year closings, trying to figure out if you could give your remaining employees some type of holiday bonus, or just caught up in all the festivities that occur between Thanksgiving and New Years – so in case you missed it, I'll give you the gist of of what I said.
Not hiring someone because they are unemployed — regardless of your position on the subject — is bad business.
As an employer you may complain you aren't getting orders for your goods, your staff budgets are cut, you're being made to do more with less because the economic recovery is too slow. Well, you may not like it, but those things you are complaining about? — you're perpetuating them.
Here's how you can fix your business, and the economy – HIRE SOMEONE WHO IS UNEMPLOYED.
Hiring someone who is unemployed is like watching the dominoes fall.
When an unemployed person gets a job they stop collecting unemployment — paid for by tax dollars — and start contributing to the tax base.
When an unemployed person gets a job they can pay their bills so they don't amass debt and end up filing for bankruptcy leaving their lenders high and dry.
When an unemployed person gets a job mortgages are paid on time and foreclosure is avoided. This not only means banks don't have to be bailed out, it reduces the devaluation of everyone else's homes.
When an unemployed person gets a job they spend money. They pay for goods, services and contribute to charitable causes. They become consumers and stimulate the economy.
When an unemployed person gets a job they stop draining their 401ks and IRAs. They start saving and investing. They contribute to retirement plans and college funds which translates into investment in stocks and bonds and mutual funds. The market gains, and city, state and federal government bonds fund infrastructure projects and create jobs.
The talent pool of unemployed people out there is vast. Take advantage of it. These are people with training, skills and experience. They're chomping at the bit to work — and currently there's a fire sale.
Where I am here in North Carolina many unemployed are not only college educated professionals, but have advanced degrees as well. These people are tech savvy and ramp up quickly.
Oh, I hear you protest — "they'll just leave when the economy gets better", "they're not going to stick around for the long term", "they're just waiting for a better job".
Well, here's a reality check.
The economy isn't getting better any time fast unless people get jobs and start working.
As to looking for long term employees, look at the average time the people who are unemployed have worked for their previous employers — now look at that candidate of yours who is already employed. Who has a better record of long term employment and loyalty? Besides, if that candidate you are looking at is willing to jump ship to work for you, who is to say they aren't going to be willing to leave you in the dust for the next passing ship.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, "The length of time a worker remains with the same employer increases with the age at which the worker began the job. Of the jobs that workers began when they were 18 to 22 years of age, 72% of those jobs ended in less than a year and 94% ended in fewer than 5 years. Among jobs started by 39- to 44-year-olds, 33% ended in less than a year and 68% ended in fewer than 5 years."
Hey, that's a recommendation for older workers as well!
And regarding waiting for a better job? A recent survey by Right Management showed that a whopping 84% of workers are planning on seeking new employment in 2011. So that excuse isn't going to fly.
People who are employed are less willing to bear the burden of covering two people's jobs. Employees are burnt out, stressed out and just plain tired of doing more with less for the last 3 years. A recent article on Beyond Morale, a blog on employee engagement, underscores that those people who have been left behind to do the job of two people (or more) on their single salary are disgruntled and less loyal.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure a newly employed, former long-term unemployed worker would be hungry, thankful and happy for meaningful work. After all, they've dealt with trying to make ends meet on a fraction of what they previously earned. They've already lived with the stigma and other negative attributes associated with unemployment — and they aren't looking to return there any time soon.
Hey, CEOs are you still there? Do you still think it's smart passing over the person who is unemployed to fill your vacant position? You have an opportunity; will you take advantage of it? You have the ability to do the one thing an unemployed person can't do for themselves – HIRE SOMEONE WHO IS UNEMPLOYED.
Not hiring someone because they are unemployed is bad business. But luckily, you can fix that.

The ColorTRUE app is for photographers, designers, and prepress professionals to use in mobile devices to calibrate and profile their tablet and mobile devices for accurate color matching. ColorTRUE includes a Create Profile tool and an Image Gallery viewer and is currently available as a free download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
ColorTRUE Calibration -- ColorTRUE creates a custom display profile for iOS and Android mobile devices using a supported X-Rite measurement device. The user simply places the connected device on the tablet or phone when prompted and the measurement process begins automatically. The profile is applied to all images displayed through the ColorTRUE Image Gallery, providing the user with the most accurate color match to a desktop reference monitor, or other color managed monitors.
Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, commented:
While iOS and Android devices deliver pleasing color right out of the box, ColorTRUE is the first app that will provide photographers, designers, and prepress professionals with a true color match from desktop to mobile. Tablets have become increasingly important in imaging workflows and getting accurate color on the mobile device is now as critical as it is on the desktop. Whether showing your portfolio to a perspective client or soft-proofing an image before final run, ColorTRUE delivers color accuracy at the level X-Rite customers expect, while maintaining the speed and simplicity of use necessary in the mobile environment
ColorTRUE Image Gallery
- ColorTRUE is the only mobile color management app that delivers an Image Gallery viewer with a unique set of tools that enables the highest level of color accurate viewing:
- Ambient Light Compensation - ColorTRUE will adjust to any ambient viewing condition ensuring that images are displayed correctly regardless of the lighting condition and display brightness setting
- Print Simulation - Preview or soft-proof images using different printer profiles and rendering intents
- White Point - Match your tablet to your desktop - to ensure you are assessing the same image on tablet and desktop, ColorTRUE lets you choose between D65, D50 and Native white point
- ICC Profile - Embedded image profiles are used or you can manually select correct working color spaces for your images (sRGB, Adobe RGB, ProPhoto RGB)
- Before and After - Toggle the calibration on and off to see the color accuracy improvements on your images
Coloratti George Jardine states,
It only makes sense that X-Rite would be first to the party with a super-easy mobile calibration solution that really works! ColorTRUE gives me the confidence that what I'm seeing on my iPad will match the corrections that I've made on my professional i1Display-calibrated and profiled desktop displays. And the best part is...ColorTRUE uses my existing hardware.
ColorTRUE Aware Partner Program
With the launch of ColorTRUE, X-Rite also announces its ColorTRUE Aware partner program. Unlike laptop or desktop operating systems, iOS and Android operating systems do not have system wide color management capabilities. This means each app must apply color profiles independently. X-Rite will soon release a Software Developers Kit (SDK) that will allow 3rd party app developers access to the ColorTRUE profile, enabling them to seamlessly deliver color management within their own app(s). ColorTRUE users can be confident any third party app such as image editing or viewing, inline production approval, or even creative sketching for proof of concept is color managed whenever they see the ColorTRUE Aware logo. More information can be found at xritephoto.com/colortrueSDK.
Steve Rankin, Product Manager, at X-Rite, continued,
As tablets and mobile devices increasingly permeate color and image based workflows, it has never been more important that these devices become truly color accurate. With ColorTRUE and the ColorTRUE Aware partner program, X-Rite now offers the missing color management components on iOS and Android platforms. Our goal is to enable app developers and help create an eco-system of color managed apps. We encourage all app developers where color is important to their users to contact us and learn more about our ColorTRUE Aware partner program.
Supported X-Rite Devices - An X-Rite measurement device (sold separately) is required for the ColorTRUE® calibration process. iOS phones and tablets support ColorMunki Smile, ColorMunki Display, i1Display Pro, and i1Pro 2, while Android phones and tablets support ColorMunki Display and i1Display Pro.

X-Rite, Incorporated with its wholly owned subsidiary Pantone LLC is the global leader in color science and technology.

UConn seniors want to leave on a high
STORRS -- The old cliche "go out on top" is often used for how a player might want to finish his career. Niels Giffey, Shabazz Napier and Tyler Olander arrived on top when they joined the UConn basketball program four years ago.
"Coach (George) Blaney told us you don't come to a tournament for second place, you want to win," Olander said about the former UConn assistant's message.
The Husky senior trio has done quite a bit of winning in four seasons, starting with a 32-9 freshmen ride that ended with a national championship celebration in Houston. All three also are on track to earn their degrees in May.
Going into Wednesday night's final home game (7 p.m. vs. Rutgers, ESPNU) at Gampel Pavilion, Giffey, Napier and Olander have been part of a four-year run -- during sometimes turbulent times -- that has resulted in a combined 95 wins under coaches Jim Calhoun and Kevin Ollie.
"That loyalty, what they showed the program in the midst of adversity, the character that they showed, the leadership that they showed in a difficult time really means a lot to me," said Ollie, who took over the program in September 2012 when the Huskies were facing an one-year postseason ban for failing to make the APR grade. "We needed those guys to stay, and they stuck with us."
The most decorated of the group is Napier, who has scored 1,755 points (eighth all-time at UConn) and has tallied 606 career assists (fourth) in 132 games, averaging 13.3 points and 4.6 assists along the way. He's also strong together a lengthy resume of big-game performances and big momentum shifts.
"Being here for four years, it doesn't seem like time is moving too fast, but now you're a senior, it's Senior Day and the last time you can play in front of these fans at Gampel, it's something that's special," Napier said. "It's something super special (to play at UConn), it kind of like utopia."
After spending the summer with the German National team, Giffey has enjoyed a career season as a valuable sixth man. In 128 games, Giffey has averaged 4.2 points and 2.3 rebounds, but this season those numbers have grown to 8.0 points and 3.4 rebounds.
"Coach Calhoun, coach Blaney .. the first couple practices you walked in and you felt a special way," said Giffey, who's mother, Christine Giffey, flew in from Germany for Senior Night. "You felt a legacy that you are part of, and as a freshman, you had to live up to."
While Napier and Giffey have thrived on the court this season, Olander's biggest growth came off it, maturing into a team leader after getting into off-season trouble twice.
"I'm just went out and did what I had to do, obviously, I just wanted to play was the main thing," Olander said. "And then over the course of, especially this year, it's not really playing that's most important, it's winning and helping those behind you be successful as opposed to personal success.
"Success as a unit, success as a team has been the most important thing. Coming in here, working hard every day, getting the other guys to work hard and reach their potential, is probably more meaningful than anything I've done myself."
In 129 career games, Olander has started 58 -- including 20 on the national championship team -- and averaged 2.9 points and 2.7 assists.
"You go through a lot of obstacles through life to get to where you want to be," Napier said. "There's a lot of rivers and mountains you have to pass, and it's just part of being a human. Things are going to happen and you just have to learn from it and move on."

Actor Frankie Muniz has put his Hollywood Hills-area house on the market for $3,195,000.
The gated home, built in 1941, has been remodeled with an open floor plan. The kitchen, dining room, living room, family room and two bedrooms occupy the lower level. Upstairs is the master bedroom suite with a sitting area, a fireplace and dual closets. There are two additional bedrooms on the upper level of the 4,200-square-foot home, which has four bathrooms.
Muniz, 25, was nominated for an Emmy for his work in the title role of "Malcolm in the Middle," (2000-2006). He now divides his time between acting, racecar driving and drumming for the pop/rock band You Hang Up out of Phoenix.
He bought the house in 2006 for $3,499,000 and has been leasing it out in recent years.
Justin Mandile and Mary Swanson of Sotheby's International Realty, Beverly Hills, are the listing agents.

Research Opportunities
A number of our undergraduates participate in research projects in our department. Read about their experiences below.
Jessie Arneson
Jessie is a senior in microbiology with an eye on graduate school. Looking for an undergraduate research experience to help prepare for that step, she was happy to find that there were opportunities in VMS. She was able to identify a research project that fit her schedule and gave her the experience she needed.
Jessie is working with Dr. Berry and Dr. McEvoy on a virus that could be described as "a parasite of a parasite". Cryspovirus is a Partitiviridae family member associated with the protozoan parasite, Cryptosporidium parvum. The goal of Jessie's project is to identify roles for the Cryspovirus during the life cycle of C. parvum. In pursuit of this goal, Jessie is gaining valuable experiences in cell culture, molecular biology, bioinformatics, virology, parasitology, and the scientific method. Bring on graduate school!
Breanne Steffan
Breanne Steffan is a junior from Fargo majoring in Microbiology. During her years at Oak Grove High School, Breanne was involved in National Honor Society, swimming, and the Justice League (a student group advocating for social justice around the world). At NDSU she has been very involved in the VMS department and the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. She has recently joined the Schuh lab as a laboratory assistant and undergraduate researcher. Breanne is the primary caretaker of the immunology vivarium (mouse colony) that the Schuh lab uses in studying allergies and asthma and does much of the day-to-day maintenance for the lab. This summer she participated in a research project to optimize a protocol for Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM). Using a laser to isolate a specific area from a thin slice of tissue, the technique that Breanne worked on will allow researchers to analyze the expression of genes of interest. After graduating, Breanne plans to attend graduate school and to work in infectious disease research.
Laura Nessa
When Laura Nessa joined the Pruess lab this past summer, she was not quite sure about herself, but very sure about one thing: she wanted to do research. And she was looking for that precise opportunity. Together with her advisor, they had a summer of scientific discovery, self-discovery, personal growth, and just sheer fun. Very eager to learn, Laura grew bacteria, froze bacteria (for storage), nurtured bacteria, killed bacteria, and watched bacteria form biofilms. Biofilms are communities of bacteria that form on surfaces, are extremely difficult to remove, and cause a myriad health problems, against which there is no current cure. Working on a high profile, well-funded research project, she took electron microscope images of such biofilms, comparing them between different strains of the intestinal bacterium E. coli. She discovered that a regulator that was previously not connected to the formation of biofilm may have an effect on biofilm amounts.
Laura was particularly excited about the opportunity to combine two of her passions, science and computer images, by spending her weekend with coloring the otherwise black and white images. Her advisor was immediately fascinated with the outcome. While one of these images was published in a recent Forum article, several others are currently on display in the NDSU gallery. This is a fun side line of a research project that may someday protect patients from biofilm associated infectious diseases. Altogether, Laura was able to make her first contribution to science, while learning multiple techniques that will be beneficial to her future career, and finding out more about where and how she wants to pursue her career once she is graduated from NDSU with her B.S. Microbiology degree.

Access to clean tap water, the removal of rain water and the treatment of waste water are increasing challenges in more and more locations. The challenge is global and today Grundfos opens a global competence centre in Copenhagen. The centre will aim to gather know-how and develop new technologies that will bring the company in front when it comes to offering sustainable and innovative solutions to water problems in the world.
Among the best in the world
- It is really quite strange that something as natural as water can be a growing problem. But looking at this summer's headlines, you realise that too little as well as too much water is a growing problem for large parts of the earth's inhabitants. The climate is changing and we have decided to be part of the solution. In Grundfos we have already got technologies that can solve some of the challenges. With this new centre, we are preparing ourselves to become even better, said Søren Ø. Sørensen, Group Executive Vice President in Grundfos. He estimates the global potential within the area is up to 10 billion Euros a year.
Close to the market
The centre is located close to Copenhagen, in Brøndby. This location is no coincidence, said Mr Sørensen.
- We shall be closer to some of our big customers and some of the educational institutions with which we already have excellent cooperation. Also, we shall use the competence in our own company to be able to offer a wide range of new knowledge, technical assistance and the completion of projects, he explained.
The global centre employs about 25 staff including regional competence centres in Russia, France, the USA and the Middle East. In the longer view the competence centre will employ close on 150 staff worldwide.
Sustainable solutions
The world's consumption of water is increasing. As population grows, the living standards and the pressure on water resources grow. At the same time, water treatment requires large amounts of energy. As the production of energy demands large amounts of water, the increasing demand for water and energy in the future will be a vicious circle, requiring intelligent, sustainable solutions.
- We have to think differently. We have to find new solutions that may improve the environment, procure clean water for as many people as possible while at the same time ensuring a sustainable business, said Mr Sørensen.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Hamas is threatening not to renew the current ceasefire and to resume attacks on the Jewish state after both Israel and Egypt rejected many of the terror group's demands during truce talks in Cairo.
Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said the threat amounted to nothing short of "blackmail," while Finance Minister Yair Lapid warned Hamas not to test Israel's resolve.
During negotiations on Thursday, Israel and Egypt said no to Hamas' demand that the international community build for it an airport and seaport in Gaza. Egypt also rebuffed the stipulation that it reopen the border crossing between Gaza and the Sinai Peninsula.
Israel has actually been reported to be somewhat more compliant, but not with Hamas directly. Rather, Israel has expressed openness to a proposal put forward by Britain, Germany and France that outlines major reconstruction in Gaza, an easing of the Israeli blockade and the demilitarization of the volatile coastal enclave.
Israeli officials said they are more than willing to go along with the European plan, so long as it hinges on the disarmament of Hamas and other terror groups currently holding sway in Gaza.
It was unclear how the Europeans intended to accomplish that goal, though the document did make mention to reinstalling Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas as the governing authority in Gaza.
Many Israelis would argue, however, that Abbas was previously in charge of Gaza and his forces failed to retain control when Hamas decided to violently seize the area in 2007.
For its part, Hamas has rejected all talk of disarming, and has instead boasted that despite Israel's best military efforts, it still possesses a huge arsenal of missiles and that a number of terror tunnels reaching into southern Israel remain intact.

- Museum number:
341:1 to 8-1906
- Gallery location:
British Galleries, Room 125, Edwin and Susan Davies Gallery, case 2 []
Object Type
This cabinet is a rare example of Morris's painted work and typical of the large pieces of furniture, Medieval in inspiration and crude in construction, associated with Morris and his circle from 1858.
Family friends such as Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones (1833-1898) and Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828-1882) posed as models for the painted figures. Morris's wife Jane is depicted as the Princess.
Design & Designing
This cabinet demonstrates a lack of co-ordination between physical structure and painted decoration; the five scenes of St George are unequally divided over the three doors. Contemporary criticism of the design commented on this immature, idealistic rendition of Medieval painted furniture. The interior's decoration indicates Morris's early interest in pattern design, a skill he was to develop with great expertise in his wallpapers and textiles. The decorative motifs and the copper handles derive from a combination of Oriental and Medieval sources.
Materials & Making
The technique used for the interior decoration (layers of tinted varnish on a ground of silver leaf) was a Medieval method revived by William Burges, seen on the cabinet commissioned by H.G. Yatman of 1858 (museum no. Circ.217-1961).
Related Museum Objects
Some of Morris's designs for the painted panels are held in the Prints, Drawings and Paintings Department of the Museum (museum nos. E.2787-1927, E.2788-1927, E.2789-1927, E.2790-1927).
Physical description
The cabinet is formed of a rectangular cupboard on a stand; the cupboard has three doors, each with a copper handle and lock plate, painted with five scenes from the Legend of St. George, divided unevenly with two scenes on the left hand and central door, and one on the right hand door; the scenes separated by vertical wavy lines and spots or by daisy heads; the rest of the cupboard is painted black with coloured patterns of shells and spots up the sides of the doors and round the top; the cupboard has a flat top and framed and panel ends, each corner finished with a square-section, tapering finial; the stand, painted red, has four columnar legs with castellated bases, joined at each end by rectangular feet on castors and by a square sections stretcher with curving rails which join a horizontal rail with moulded ends between which sits the cupboard.

Object history note
The cabinet was designed by Philip Webb for the stand of Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. at the London International Exhibition of 1862. Webb charged the firm £1 10s (£1 50p) for the design and William Morris produced four preliminary sketches for the narrative panels (E.2787-1927, E.2788-1927, E.2789-1927, E.2790-1927). One of the partners in the firm, D.G. Rossetti described the preparation of the cabinet for display in a letter to Charles Eliot Norton, 9 January 1862, 'I wish you could see a painted cabinet, with the history of St. George, and other furniture of great beauty which we have in hand. We have bespoke space at the Great Exhibition...' Letters of Dante Gabriel Rossetti,edited by Oswald Doughty and John Robert Walsh, Vol. II, Oxford 1965, page 436.
Priced at £50 at the 1862 Exhibition, the cabinet did not sell and was still recorded in the firm's stock in 1864. Its subsequent history is unclear until the sale of Laurence Hodson's collection in 1906. Hodson (1864-1933) inherited Compton Hall, near Wolverhampton, from his father in 1890 and may have acquired the cabinet when he commissioned Morris & Co. to decorate the Hall, 1895-6. Morris's last wallpaper, Compton was designed for this commission. Hodson also owned three of the Holy Grail tapestries designed by Edward Burne-Jones (Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery) as well as two other pieces of furniture by Morris & Co.
The cabinet was purchased by the Museum from Hodson's sale (Christies, 6 July 1906, Lot 96), on the recommendation of Charles Fairfax Murray (who had owned Morris's sketches for the narrative panels). The firm of Durlacher Brothers, 142, New Bond Street, bid on behalf of the Museum and the purchase price of £66 3s included their commission of £3 3s. The cabinet was sent to Bethnal Green Museum on 24th July 1906, where many pieces of furniture were on display in order to educate the local furniture-making trades. It was returned to the Department of Woodwork in 1931 and exhibited in the William Morris Centenary Exhibition in 1934.
The interior of the cabinet is fitted with shelves and drawers with copper handles. The drawer fronts are decorated with layers of tinted varnishes on silver leaf, a medieval technique described in Theophilus's De diversis artibus, published in 1847 by John Murray as An Essay upon Various Arts. Morris may have known of William Burges's use of this technique on his Yatman cabinet of 1858.
When the cabinet was acquired in 1906, a polished mahogany board had been fixed on top of the stand and the upper cupboard section was placed on this board. This arrangement is recorded in a black and white photograph, Neg. No. 32498. Examination of the cabinet in preparation for the Morris Exhibition in 1996 indicated that the board was a later addition. The removal of the board enabled the upper cupboard section to be positioned on the stand between the mouldings at either end of the horizontal rail. This follows medieval prototypes and may be a more likely interpretation of the original intentions of Morris and Webb.
Historical significance: The cabinet is a rare example of Morris's painted work and is typical of the large pieces of furniture, medieval in form and crude in construction, associated with Morris and his circle from 1858.The theme of the cabinet epitomises Morris's youthful enthusiasm for mediaeval romance and literature. Morris's wife, Jane, was the model for the princess.
Both the cabinet and another early painted piece on which Morris, Webb and Burne-Jones collaborated, The Prioress's Wardrobe (Ashmolean Museum, Oxford) shows the same lack of co-ordination between structure and painted decoration. In this cabinet the five scenes of the story of St. George's rescue of the princess from the dragon are unequally divided between the three doors.
The decoration of the interior is, however, a startling reminder of Morris's early interest in pattern design. The decorative motifs, particularly the flowers, and the abstract form of the copper handles, derive from a variety of sources, possibly a combination of oriental and mediaeval.

Mahogany, pine and oak painted and gilt with copper mounts
Morris was involved in the manufacture of a number of painted pieces at this date, inspired by those designed several years earlier by his friend William Burges, examples of whose work are displayed nearby. The curved braces on the base were copied by Webb from furniture designed by Pugin in the late 1840s. The painted scenes are from the legend of St George and the Dragon and include Morris and his wife amongst the characters depicted. It was shown as the St George Cabinet in the London International Exhibition of 1862 where it was criticised for poor craftsmanship and second rate painting. [1993]
British Galleries:
Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. produced a number of pieces of painted furniture in their first years. This example, designed by Philip Webb, was painted by William Morris especially for the International Exhibition of 1862. It shows the legend of St George and the Dragon. William and Jane Morris are among the figures portrayed. [27/03/2003]
Production Note
The maker of the St. George cabinet, and other furniture exhibited by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. in 1862, has not yet been identified. It is possible that the cabinet was made in the workshop of Tommy Baker, a cabinet maker of Christopher Street, Hatton Garden, London. One of his employees, Henry Price, described making furniture in medieval style, probably for the rooms shared by Morris and Edward Burne-Jones at Red Lion Square, London, in 1856. For a discussion of Price's furniture, see Pat Kirkham, 'William Morris's Early Furniture, The William Morris Society Journal, Vol. IV, No. 3, Spring 1987, pp. 25-28.
